COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: BROOKVIEW PLACE WEST 4T" ADDITION MAJOR FINAL PLAT
BACKGROUND:
Brookview Place West Subdivision is located north of Ontario Road at the west
corporate limits of the city. The property owners, E. A. Hunziker Development, LLC and
D & R Furman, LLC, are now requesting approval of a Final Plat for the 41h Addition.
(See Attachment A, Location Map and Attachment B, Final Plat.) This proposed addition
is approximately 3.5 acres and includes 14 single family residential lots and one lot for
Missouri Street.
Existing public utilities around the perimeter of the subject property are adequate to
serve all of the proposed lots. From these utilities, additional mains have been installed
within the 4th Addition to serve all of the lots. The Public Works Department has verified
that the public utilities required for the subdivision have been completed and are
acceptable. Existing easements within and around the property provide for drainage,
conveyance and storage of storm water. Easements are provided to the City as required
for electric and other public utilities. Easements are also provided for a fire truck
turnaround that the Fire Department has determined meets Fire Code requirements.
Missouri Street is under construction. An "Agreement for Public Improvements" has
been prepared for City Council approval with the Final Plat for the completion of street
lighting, erosion control and asphalt roadway surfaces. Financial security in the amount
of $80,000 has been received and placed on file with the City Clerk's Office. The
financial security will be released upon satisfactory completion of these improvements.
The applicant has also provided an agreement for the installation of street trees and
sidewalks, but has requested a waiver of providing financial security for these
improvements. As an alternative to installing sidewalks before lots are platted, Section
23.403 (14) allows deferment of sidewalks with financial security when installation is
considered premature. Notwithstanding this code requirement for financial security, the
City Council's past practice has been to accept a signed, written agreement for sidewalk
and street trees from the owner specifying that, in lieu of financial security, occupancy of
new structures will not be permitted by the City until the sidewalks and street trees
associated with each individual lot are installed. Consistent with this practice, the City
Council may wish to waive this financial security condition and allow sidewalk and street
trees to be deferred until occupancy of structures on abutting sites.
After reviewing the proposed Final Plat, staff believes it complies with the approved
Preliminary Plat, adopted plans, development agreement, and all other relevant design
and improvement standards required by the Municipal Code.

ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council can take the following two actions:
A. Waive the subdivision code requirement for financial security for sidewalks and
street trees in the Brookview Place West Subdivision 4t" Addition, since the
Developer has signed the "Agreement for Sidewalk and Street Trees" requiring
the installation of these improvements prior to occupancy or within 24 months of
issuance of a building permit; and,
B. Approve the Final Plat of Brookview Place West Subdivision 4t" Addition, based
upon the findings and conclusions stated above.
2. The City Council can deny the Final Plat for Brookview Place West Subdivision 4t"
Addition if it finds that the development creates a burden on existing public
improvements or creates a need for new public improvements that have not yet
been installed.
3. The City Council can refer this request back to staff or the applicant for additional
information. City Council must approve, approve subject to conditions, or disapprove
this Final Plat application no later than August 26, 2014 to meet the a mandatory 60
day deadline for a decision on a final plat.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff has evaluated the proposed final subdivision plat and has determined that the
proposal is consistent with the Preliminary Plat approved by City Council and that the
plat conforms to the adopted ordinances and policies of the City as required by Code.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative #1 as described above.
