supportive of the Variance as the condition triggering the need for it will be eliminated with a future phase of this project. Staff will provide a verbal update to City Council on the outcome of the Planning Commission action at the meeting. Staff has worked with the Developer to address the unlikely scenario that the remainder of the project is not completed, leaving a dead-end street without a cul-de-sac. The cost of constructing the cul-de-sac is included in the Stage I Surety calculation and the Development Agreement stipulates that the cul-de-sac bulb shall be constructed if the future phase is not commenced within twelve (12) months of the recording of a the Development Agreement. Thus, should the City need to initiate construction, the required Financial Surety would cover that cost. The Developer has also drafted a Temporary Drainage, Utility, and Roadway Easement to address the portions of the cul-de-sac that would extend beyond the platted right of way. This was the same solution that was used for Harvest Estates. Alternatives Alternative #1: Approve Resolutions #16-04-071 and #16-04-073 granting Final Plat approval of Woodlands 2nd Addition and approving the Development Agreement subject to review and approval as to legal form by the City Attorney as well as review by the City Engineer regarding the cost estimates for the Stage I surety and contingent upon compliance with the Staff Review Letter dated April 7, 2016. The Final Plat is consistent with the approved Preliminary Plat and as long as a variance to cul-de-sac length is approved by the Planning Commission, there are no major discrepancies unresolved. Staff supports this alternative. Alternative #2: Do not grant Final Plat approval for Woodlands 2nd Addition. The Final Plat is consistent with the Preliminary Plat. However, if the variance to cul-de-sac length is not approved by the Planning Commission, the City Council should not approve the Final Plat as presented. Funding Source: All costs associated with this request are the responsibility of the Applicant. Recommendation: Staff recommends approving the Final Plat contingent upon the following: • Compliance with the Staff Review Letter dated April 7, 2016; and • The Developer entering into a Development Agreement with the City; and • The Developer recording a Tree Preservation Easement against certain lots in both Woodlands and Woodlands 2nd Addition; and • Recording of a Temporary Drainage, Utility, and Roadway Easement Action: Motion to approve Resolution #16-04-071 granting Final Plat approval of WOODLANDS 2ND ADDITION contingent upon the following: 1. Compliance with the Staff Review Letter dated April 7, 2016; and 2. Developer entering into a Development Agreement with the City; and 3. Developer recording a Tree Preservation Easement against certain lots in both Woodlands and Woodlands 2nd Addition; and 4. Developer recording a Temporary Drainage, Utility, and Roadway Easement. -and- Motion to approve Resolution #16-04-073 approving a Development Agreement for WOODLANDS 2ND ADDITION, subject to review and approval as to legal form by the City Attorney and subject to review and approval of the Stage I cost estimates by the City Engineer.
