Park Dedication $ <br />Review File: Harvest Estates (15153 Nowthen Blvd. NW) <br />Preliminary Plat <br />April 3, 2015 <br />Page 4 of 6 <br />Architectural Standards. Architectural renderings are not required as part of Preliminary Plat review. City Code <br />Section 117-111 requires that all structures be constructed with exterior materials consisting of face brick, natural <br />stone, aluminum, steel, or vinyl siding, wood, masonite products, or other compatible residential materials that may <br />be approved by the City. The assumption is that the Developer will be constructing homes similar to those constructed <br />in MEADOW, the adjacent residential development constructed in 2005. The required Development Agreement shall <br />clearly state that additional architectural requirements are not being required at this time, and that the underlying <br />requirements for the R-1 Residential (MUSA) District are required. <br />Development Fees. The Developer will be required to pay development fees consistent with the City's approved <br />schedule of Rates and Charges. These estimates are based on the entire development, both phases. The final plat <br />request will break down by actual units created by phase. <br />Fee Amount <br />Trail Development $ <br />Water Trunk $1 <br />Sanitary Sewer Trunk $1 <br />Stormwater Management $ <br />Street Light $1 <br />Street Light 0 & M $ <br /># of Units <br />Total <br />,,600/unit <br />44 <br />$114,400 <br />00/unit <br />44 <br />$30,800 <br />,597/unit <br />44 <br />$70,268 <br />,126 <br />44 <br />$49,544 <br />59/unit <br />44 <br />$20,196 <br />,300/light <br />TBD <br />TBD <br />;94/light <br />TBD <br />TBD <br />The following Financial Guarantee requirement is based on Phase I only. Numbers do not reflect Phase II, which will <br />be calculated separately. <br />The City also requires a Financial Guarantee for all Stage I and Stage II Improvements in the amount of 125% the <br />cost of said improvements. The original Engineer's Estimate prepared by Hedlund Engineering was for $670,844. <br />The lowest quote from a contractor provided by N.I.K. Management, Inc. prepared by Northwest Asphalt is <br />$700,949. These are simply estimates at this time, which will need to be confirmed by the City Engineer. Staff has <br />flagged the unit price for imported fill as a concern when comparing to the Engineer's Estimate provided by the <br />Developer's Engineer, Hedlund Engineering and other comparable quotes provided by the Developer. Staff will <br />provide a final recommendation with Final Plat review. Additionally, Staff has provided advisory comments regarding <br />the overall grading plan and amount of fill needed for the overall project later in this review. <br />Building Permit Fees. The Developer shall contact the City's Building Division to provide an estimate of fees due <br />with each Building Permit. It is hereby noted that Sewer Availability Charges (SAC) and Water Availability Charges <br />are due at time of building permit in addition to the above at a rate of $2,485 per unit and $1,177 per unit respectively. <br />Recommendation. City Staff recommends that the City approve the Preliminary Plat with amendments as required <br />in the attached review files. <br />Advisory Comments. The following section contains advisory comments to assist the City and Developer in <br />reviewing outcomes of the current phasing plan. <br />Phasing Plan <br />The Preliminary Plat contains 44 lots. It is anticipated that the project will happen in two (2) phases. Phase I is planned <br />for thirty-two (32) lots. Phase II is planned for twelve (12) lots. Phasing is necessary to allow a portion of the project <br />to move forward prior to the new Fire Station No. 2. Staff would like to explore an alternative phasing plan with the <br />
