Background/Discussion The plat of Eagles Marsh was first approved on August 20, 2001, and included 39 single-family lots and a lot for a municipal water tower. An update was approved on July 17, 2017, and to date, 29 single-family lots have been final platted along with the water tower parcel. Approval of the preliminary plat is required as a final plat has not been recorded since 2017. The only changes from the original plat are associated with standards that have changed since 2001. Planning Commission The applicant submitted an email objecting to the requirement that the sidewalk be extended along the south side of Lincoln Street. Previous approvals had not included this requirement and the current proposal includes a sidewalk along the north side of Lincoln St. Staff included the condition to add the sidewalk after completing a larger scope review of the sidewalk network, noting the current termination of the sidewalk on the south side of Lincoln and considering the grade separation between east/west bound Lincoln. The city also received an email during the public hearing asking about the potential trail. The applicant stated the current trail terminates at city property, which it does, and the 2018 Trails Master Plan includes a trail around Kliever Lake. When the trail is constructed, it will likely use the current terminus of the sidewalk. The Commission discussed the sidewalk extension and felt the additional sidewalk connection was appropriate. The Commission unanimously recommended approval of the preliminary plat. Sidewalk Extension On May 20, 2020, staff met the developer on site to review their concerns with the proposed south side sidewalk extension on Lincoln St. The utilities are installed, including gas and electric, and the extension would require extensive additional work — including relocation of a fire hydrant and electric utility boxes. After the site visit, staff supports removing the condition to extend the sidewalk along the south side of Lincoln. Development Agreement The conditions of approval include a requirement of a signed Development Agreement. The agreement outlines the costs and responsibilities to the satisfaction of city staff. Staff and the city attorney drafted a Development Agreement outlining these responsibilities and are seeking Council approval. The Development Agreement closely follows our standard agreement, and outlines required security in the form of a Letter of Credit and escrow deposits.
