Alternatives: Option #1: Authorize Purchasing a Permanent Road Easement for $11,500.00 Plus an In -Kind Contribution of the Class-V Gravel Material toward the Construction of a Cul-de-Sac. The Subject Property is an existing lot that does have frontage on a public road, just not the minimum frontage required. When the land to the west was developed (Alicia Addition), the City required 171st Ave to be constructed to the eastern limit of that plat but did not require construction of a full cul-de-sac. Thus, unless the Subject Property were to be developed with multiple lots, any owner seeking to construct a single residential home there would be in the very position that the current property owners are in. There are existing public safety concerns that the City has identified that would be corrected/improved with the construction of a cul-de-sac. Staff supports this option only due to the fact that there are public safety concerns existing that would be corrected with a cul-de-sac and because the Subject Property is not being developed with multiple buildable lots, but rather one single family home. Option #2: Only Authorize the In -Kind Contribution of Class V Material for the Cul-de-Sac Construction. If the Subject Property owners are responsible for bearing the full or near full cost of the cul-de-sac, it is likely that they would sell the Subject Property and seek another building site. This would leave the current hammerhead in place and thus, would not address the existing public safety concerns with this stretch of 171st Ave. Staff does not support this option. Option #3: Do Not Authorize Any Contribution toward the Cul-de-Sac Construction and Direct Property Owners to Apply for a Variance to Road Frontage Requirements. Staff would not recommend this option as a Variance, if approved, would not address the existing concerns related to snow plowing and fire response. These concerns would only be exacerbated with the installation of a home/driveway off the existing hammerhead rather than a cul-de-sac that would provide adequate maneuvering space. Staff does not support this option. Funding Source: Should some form of a cost -share model be approved, the source of funds would be the Public Improvements Revolving Fund. Recommendation: Staff recommends authorizing the purchase of a permanent public road easement for $11,500.00 and an in -kind contribution of Class V gravel material to facilitate the construction of a cul-de-sac contingent upon the following: • Execution of a Development Agreement • Receipt of either a Letter of Credit or Cash Escrow for 125% of the Subject Property owners portion of the estimated costs for construction of a cul-de-sac • Receipt of an 0 & E Report to establish marketable title • Execution of a Permanent Road Easement Action: Motion to adopt Resolution #14-02-038 approving Findings of Fact #0922 and Motion to adopt Resolution #14-02-039 authorizing the purchase of a permanent road easement ($11,500.00) and an in -kind contribution of Class V gravel material (estimated value of $1,000.00) to facilitate the construction of a cul-de-sac at the terminus of 171st Ave NW east of Rabbit St. Attachments Site Location Man Cul-de-Sac Design and Cost Estimate Aeiral Photo of Subiect Property Draft Findings of Fact Resolution #14-02-039 Form Review Inbox Reviewed By Date Brace Westby Brace Westby 02/20/2014 10 46 AM Tim Gladhdll Tim Gladtull 02/20/2014 12 59 PM Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulnch 02/20/2014 03 18 PM Form Started By Chris Anderson Started On 02/18/2014 12 46 PM Final Approval Date 02/20/2014
