Review File: Harvest Estates (15153 Nowthen Blvd. NW) Final Plat May 7, 2015 Page 4 of 6 clearly state that additional architectural requirements are not being required at this time, and that the underlying requirements for the R-1 Residential (MUSA) District are required. Development Fees. The Developer will be required to pay development fees consistent with the City's approved schedule of Rates and Charges. These estimates are based on the entire development, both phases. The final plat request will break down by actual units created by phase. Fee Park Dedication Trail Development Water Trunk Sanitary Sewer Trunk Stormwater Management Street Light Street Light 0 & M Amount $2,600/unit $700/unit $1,597/unit $1,126 $459 /unit $1,300/light $294/light # of Units 44 44 44 44 44 '1'BD '1'BD Total $114,400 $30,800 $70,268 $49,544 $20,196 '1'BD '1'BD The following Financial Guarantee requirement is based on Phase I only. Numbers do not reflect Phase II, which will be calculated separately. The City also requires a Financial Guarantee for all Stage I and Stage II Improvements in the amount of 125% the cost of said improvements. The original Engineer's Estimate prepared by Hedlund Engineering was for $670,844. The lowest quote from a contractor provided by N.I.K. Management, Inc. prepared by Northwest Asphalt is $700,949. These are simply estimates at this time, which will need to be confirmed by the City Engineer. Staff has flagged the unit price for imported fill as a concern when comparing to the Engineer's Estimate provided by the Developer's Engineer, Hedlund Engineering and other comparable quotes provided by the Developer. Staff will provide a final recommendation with Final Plat review. Additionally, Staff has provided advisory comments regarding the overall grading plan and amount of fill needed for the overall project later in this review. Building Permit Fees. The Developer shall contact the City's Building Division to provide an estimate of fees due with each Building Permit. It is hereby noted that Sewer Availability Charges (SAC) and Water Availability Charges 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. Recommendation. City Staff recommends that the City approve the Preliminary Plat with amendments as required in the attached review files. Advisory Comments. The following section contains advisory comments to assist the City and Developer in reviewing outcomes of the current phasing plan. Phasing Plan The Preliminary Plat contains 44 lots. It is anticipated that the project will happen in two (2) phases. Phase I is planned for thirty-two (32) lots. Phase II is planned for twelve (12) lots. Phasing is necessary to allow a portion of the project to move forward prior to the new Fire Station No. 2. Staff would like to explore an alternative phasing plan with the Developer that would either 1) amend the scope of Phase I or 2) divide the project into three (3) phases. Regardless, Staff will support the current phasing plan as outlined in the Purchase Agreement. The intent of this section is to outline outcomes and alternatives now that additional design details are known that weren't available during concept and sketch plan review.
