Based upon the direction received at the Committees'July meeting, staff developed a landscape renovation plan <br /> reflected in the attached quote from Great Northern Landscapes, Inc. Approval of this landscape plan and cost was <br /> ratified by City Council following the October recommendation from the Committee,together with the plan to <br /> invite others to cost-share in the project. As the request for funding assistance from other parties has not yielded <br /> results (as of this case preparation), Staff is recommending reaffirmation of the Committees' October <br /> recommendation to move forward with the landscape renovation and apply outside donations to the project when <br /> they are received. <br /> Funding Source: <br /> The landscape improvements, irrigation repairs ($15,150)and contracted maintenance costs (approximately $800 <br /> annually)will be accommodated within the General Fund budget proposed for 2017. <br /> Note: Additional 'streetscape' renovations (to other existing locations in the city)or for new landscape treatments <br /> along city streets and entrances to the city,may need to be accommodated by increases to the General Fund budget <br /> or other funding sources for future years. <br /> Further Note: Direction was provided to work with Lennar Homes on a potential cost share on capital costs to repair <br /> the median improvement. Lennar has expressed a willingness to discuss,but final decision will be made as part of <br /> Final Plat and Development Agreement Approval when final costs of Woodlands 4th Addition are known. <br /> Action: <br /> Motion to recommend for City Council approval, a landscape renovation plan for the Sweet Bay Ridge center <br /> medians as outlined in the quote from Great Northern Landscapes, Inc., and funded primarily by the City of Ramsey. <br /> Attachments <br /> Sweet Bay Ridge Median <br /> Sweet Bay ridge Median 2 <br /> Sweet Bay Ridge Median 3 <br /> Sweet Bay Ridge Median 4 <br /> Sweet Bay Ridge Median 5 <br /> Great Northen quote <br /> PW Minutes <br /> Resident Letter <br /> Form Review <br /> Inbox Reviewed By Date <br /> Mary Jo Warner MaryJo Warner 01/11/2017 03:22 PM <br /> Grant Riemer Grant Riemer 01/12/2017 07:54 AM <br /> Chris Anderson Chris Anderson 01/12/2017 08:16 AM <br /> Tim Gladhill Tim Gladhill 01/12/2017 09:30 AM <br /> Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 01/12/2017 04:32 PM <br /> Form Started By:Mark Riverblood Started On:01/10/2017 10:23 AM <br /> Final Approval Date:01/12/2017 <br />
