Capstone Homes wants to begin construction of the Riverstone development this summer. Development of the lots <br />on the south end of the development will occur first. In order to issue Certificates of Occupancy for these homes, <br />they must be served by City sewer and water which will require the existing trunk utilities to be extended along <br />Bunker Lake Boulevard to Puma Street. By completing this work as a City improvement project in advance of the <br />assessment agreement being executed, Capstone Homes will be able to connect more homes to City sewer and <br />water in the fall of 2017 due to the time that will be saved by extending the utilities to Puma Street in advance of the <br />improvements that will be constructed through the assessment agreement. <br />Staff is proposing to extend the utilities along Bunker Lake Boulevard to Puma Street this summer to support these <br />and other development proposals within the Future Business Park area. <br />Timeframe: <br />Staff estimates this case will take 15 minutes to present and respond to questions. <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />Observations: <br />City Staff proposes to prepare plans and specifications in-house. City staff also proposes to administer the project <br />and to inspect construction. <br />Staff will work with the property owners north and south of Bunker Lake Boulevard during development of plans <br />and specifications to locate proposed utility service stubs. <br />Repairs to the existing temporary street section as a result of the utilities extension work will be evaluated during <br />development of the plans. Staff recommends using aggregate base as a temporary surfacing since the street is <br />proposed to be reconstructed to its permanent condition in the fall. Costs to repair or replace the street surfacing are <br />not included in the estimated costs above. Staff estimates this cost will be about $60,000 if a portion of the City's <br />aggregate base stockpile is used as temporary surfacing. <br />Alternatives: <br />Alternative # 1 — Motion to recommend City Council authorization to prepare plans and specifications for extending <br />trunk sanitary sewer and watermain along Bunker Lake Boulevard to Puma Street. <br />Alternative #2 — Motion of other. <br />Funding Source: <br />All costs required to extend the utilities are proposed to be paid through City sewer and water funds. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends providing a recommendation to the City Council to authorize preparation of plans and <br />specifications for extending trunk sanitary sewer and watermain along Bunker Lake Boulevard to Puma Street to <br />support current and future development of abutting parcels within the Future Business Park area. <br />Action: <br />Recommend City Council authorization to prepare plans and specifications for extending trunk sanitary sewer and <br />watermain along Bunker Lake Boulevard to Puma Street. <br />Attachments <br />Figure 1 <br />FBP Report Mar2017 <br />Form Review <br />
