Mr. Steve Ach <br />July 1, 1996 <br />Page Two <br /> <br />City could take is to require a date certain to be provided for in the Developer's <br />Agreement. We suggest that the City use either or both of these routes to require <br />a date certain and that the date be set within a reasonable time frame after the <br />completion of the proposed improvements. Specifically, after the concrete curb <br />and gutter is placed and the utilities, such as telephone, electric, and gas, which <br />would be installed behind the concrete curb and gutter. After this work is <br />completed, there should be no additional construction behind the curb that would <br />disrupt any of the lot corners. It is also my understanding that State Statute <br />permits the City to require an escrow to ensure that the lot corners are placed. I <br />do not believe it will be necessary to add an additional cost for this purpose. <br />However, I would recommend that the City reserve enough of the normal letter <br />of credit that is placed to offset the cost of the staking of the lot comers until such <br />time that it is done. <br /> <br />It should be noted that enough plat control and/or lot corners need to be placed <br />during the construction to ensure that the improvements are constructed in the <br />proper location. <br /> <br />This issue is likely to be raised on future plats. I would suggest that the City set <br />a policy of how to deal with this issue. By establishing a policy and then <br />communicating that policy to the County Surveyor, Developers, and their survey <br />companies, this item should become a non-issue on future projects. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding these comments, please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br />TJM:pd <br /> <br />268-2610.jun <br /> <br /> <br />
