Approve Reduction in the Letter of Credit for OP3 Prairie Village LLC, Prairie Village 3rd Addition OP3 Prairie Village, developer, has requested the City reduce the letter of credit being held for the Prairie Village 3rd Addition. Senior Engineering Technician Steve Duff had inspected the work and recommended approval. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the reduction of the letter of credit being held for the constructed improvements in the Prairie Village 3rd Addition be reduced to $655,480.17 of the original letter of credit $1,393,000.00. Approve Resolution for Release of Actions on Generation Acres Plat for Habitat for Humanity, Inc. In 2008, the developer of Generation Acres was in default of the Development Agreement in regard to completing installation of the required public improvements. Prior to the expiration, staff attempted to draw on the LOC and the financial institution failed to honor the LOC. In an effort to preserve the City's authority to obtain the funds, the City Council passed a Resolution in regard to the incomplete public improvements. This does not allow municipal action of any kind to be issued within the plat until the requirements within the Development Agreement are satisfied. Habitat for Humanity recently acquired the remaining property in Generation Acres. Habitat for Humanity has requested that the City Council release the Generation Acres plat from the Resolution that does not allow municipal action to occur. Habitat for Humanity has satisfied the requirements within the Development Agreement and staff is comfortable releasing the plat from the resolution. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved RESOLUTION NO. 2014-38 APPROVING NOTICE REGARDING A RELEASE FROM CERTAIN ACTION FOR THE PLAT OF GENERATION ACRES. Approve Annual Snowmobile Trail Application for the Hugo Snowmobile Club and the Rice Creek Trail Association.
