<br />Staff recommends that the Association dedicate all trunk storm water facilities to <br />the City and that the City maintain them just as any other public storm water <br />facility. From a storm water management standpoint, staff believes that it is in the <br />City’s best interest that these facilities be owned and maintained by the City. <br />Conditions to this follow: <br /> The Association must grant to the City any easements as deemed <br />necessary by the City. <br /> The Association must pay any and all cost borne by the City to dedicate <br />these utilities to the City <br /> The Association can transfer ownership immediately. Transfer financial <br />responsibility for repairs must be done over a period of time. Example: first <br />five years- 100% Association cost for repairs, second five years 50/ 50 <br />split in repair costs. After 10 years 100% City Cost. <br /> <br />For lateral storm water facilities, staff recommends that they be viewed as private <br />structures to be maintained privately. Since these serve only private property, it <br />should be pointed out that, should the streets become public and the Association <br />dedicated the necessary right-of-way in the future, these storm water facilities <br />could become public following the same requirements as the streets. <br /> <br />Options – This proposal in regards to trunk storm sewer facilities is consistent <br />with the Condominium Association proposal. There is the option to allow the <br />Condominium Association to dedicate the lateral storm sewer facilities. However, <br />similar to streets, staff strongly discourages this option in that it would set a <br />precedent whereby the City would be obligated to take over all lateral storm <br />sewer facilities in their current condition should it be requested. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff is looking for direction from the City Council pertaining to this matter. <br />Specifically, staff is looking for Council input on whether the Council is interested <br />in developing a Private Street Policy and then applying this policy to the Silver <br />Lake Woods Condominium Development. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Greg Lee, Director of Public Works <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
