(01-20) Staff Planner Jimmerson presented the staff report and opened by stating that she is presenting both Agenda Items No. 5 and 6 simultaneously. She reports that Staff is not making a recommendation for the Master Development Plan at this time. However, if the Commission chooses to approve the rezoning request (Agenda Item No. 6), Staff is recommending applicable conditions. Ms. Jimmerson states that the applicant is requesting approval of the Master Development Plan and the rezoning request to enable the development of a residential subdivision and some additional industrial property as shown on the Land Use Plan. The residential proposal includes 244 single family lots and 142 townhouse lots in addition to three industrial lots: She explained that the areas that are proposed to be rezoned to R&D are clearly indicated on the Land Use Plan as future industrial areas. Furthermore, the R&D zoning district is the least intense of the currently available industrial zoning districts and includes buffer standards in the zoning requirements. Additionally, Staff feels the tract of land near the intersection of Graham Road and the future extension of Victoria would be more P&Z Minutes March 1, 2001 Page 2 of 15 o u - I"7E CASTLEGATE FINAL PLAT Phase I, Section I I met with Wallace Phillips, Joe Schultz and Nora Thompson to discuss the filing of the final plat and issuance of building permits. Wallace's goal is to file the final plat on Friday, March 2, 2001 and begin pulling slab only permits on Monday, March 5, 2001. In order to file the final plat, several guarantees must be in place: • The remaining infrastructure for Phase I, Section I. Joe Schultz submitted an engineer's estimate with percentages of completion on various items. Bob Mosely was concerned with allowing the developer to guarantee partial amounts of the water, sewer & street systems that have not been tested. I informed Joe Schultz that we would require a 100% guarantee of the water, sanitary -sewer_and street systems. • The off-site 24" waterline. Wallace plans to finish this waterline extension to Phases I - IV in order to get building permits. He would like for us to accept that portion of the line for building permit issuance and then finish the remaining line before any O.P. is released. Wallace plans to provide two letters of credit for this line each at 50% of the total cost (close to $800,000). One letter of credit will expire in 30 days, this will cover the portion of the line to the first four phases of Castlegate. The second letter of credit will expire in 90 days, this will cover the remaining portion of the line. No O.P. will be released until 100% of the line is completed and accepted. • Sewer impact fees in the amount of $349.55 per lot. Tim Crowley has an agreement with the City to receive impact fee credits for the portion of the Spring Creek sewer line design that is currently under construction. (Tim paid LJA to design the line and the City is building the line based on those plans.) In that agreement, it states that the City will not determine the amount of credits until the line is completed and accepted. Wallace must guarantee or pay the sewer impact fees before filing_the final plat since the off-site sewer line is still under construction. Along with that guarantee, Wallace must submit something in writing stating_from Tim Crowley that gives Wallace the credits for the subdivision. • Parkland development fees in the amount of $309 per It. Wallace is planning to develop the City parks in this subdivision and is currently working with the Parks Department on plans. The parkland for phase I is being dedicated with the plat; however, the development of that park will not be complete in the near future. The guarantee must remain in place until the park improvements are constructed and Off-site detention - Wallace is not responsible for guaranteeing or constructing the off-site detention facility with this phase. According to Ted Mayo, theyare_allowed up to 75 building permits without off-site detention. Joe Schultz is also looking into the possibility of increasing that number by diverting some of the run-off to the future lakes in Castlegate. 1 Castlegate Final Plat Filing Page 2 of 2 I later met with Ted Mayo and Bob Mosely concerning the proposed sequence of events. Bob expressed concern about the off-site sewer line that the City is currently constructing. Some of the flowlines were not met and the sewerline will lam` not flow. Bob is currently working with Young Contractors and the legal department to resolve this problem. Apparantly, there is a "professional liability" clause in the contract between the City and Tim Crowley that releases LJA engineering. Bob is working with Roxanne to find out who's responsible for the problem and how to get it fixed. I set up a meeting with Roxanne, Jim and myself on Wednesday, February 28th to discuss these issues. Primarily, we're concerned about our level of liability once we issue the full building permits. What happens if the homes are finished before the sewerline is completed? What if we end up going into litigation on the sewerline and homes are still not able to get a C.O.? I informed Wallace and Joe of our concerns and that we needed to work with the legal staff before committp-afto issuing permits.

STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS No. 2 Project: CASTLEGATE SUB., SEC 1, PH 1 (FP)-FINAL PLAT (00-178) PLANNING 3. In regards to the parkland development, we understand that discussions have begun with the Parks Department. Maybe with the next phase, we can get something in writing (an e-mail from parks staff will be sufficient) stating that with the final plat of phase X, the Parks Board will have approved the plans for developing the parks and with phase Y the construction will be completed. We are looking for a clear plan that defines the expectations with each phase, so there will not be any misunderstanding on this issue in the future.
