Re: Southfork Subdivision—Plat Three
Dear Mayor Tedesco:
This letter will serve as our formal request to seek a Waiver of the time frame
allowed for installing public improvements of two years from the date of final plat
as specified in Section 23.409—Improvement Guarantees of the Subdivision
Ordinance.
Specifically, we request that the dead end paving of Sunflower Street
immediately south of the returns from the intersection with Coy Street be omitted
for a period of two years or until future development to the south warrants this
improvement. The dead end paving would require a paved hammerhead if
in now. The paving would involve considerable expense with no benefit to
the general public, our development, or to any other development at this time.
The two lots adjacent to this portion of Sunflower Street, (Lots #33 & 34), would
not be allowed driveway access to Sunflower. We would dedicate the right of
way to the City and agree to post a bond for this future improvement, if required.
In lieu of the paved dead end street, we suggest that a paved pedestrian path
leading to the field south of our development would better serve the public.
We have enclosed a layout of the area in question for your reference. We
respectfully request a response to this letter as soon as possible so that we may
proceed with the submission of final plans for the development.
Sincerely,
Russ McCullough
