required whereas if the developing property is adjacent to a rural character property, that connection is not required. He stated that the City worked off a previous request from Northfork Inc., which was not interested in utility connection and was only interested in rural style development. Steve Bona, Capstone, stated that they do not oppose extending water and sewer to the property to the west if the City determines that is necessary. He stated that they strongly oppose any change to their Preliminary Plat to accommodate that extension. He noted that Capstone has an approved Preliminary Plat. He stated that there were a few technicalities in the original Preliminary Plat regarding the pedestrian crossing which have been worked out between staff and Capstone. He stated that they have an entitlement through Preliminary Plat. He stated that a representative from Capstone met with AKM Farms and explained that they would need a proposal from the other property owner showing the plans, schedule, cost for engineering, and cost for the changes that would occur to the approved Preliminary Plat lots. He believed that the utility extension could be provided with only losing one lot. He stated that they would need a plan and proposal and would not want to be subjected to their plat being contingent upon that. He stated that they are willing to do a fair deal if a proposal comes to Capstone. He stated that they would use fair market value for the land and would forego the loss of the revenue for the homes that could be built, if there is a fair proposal. He stated that they are only asking for the pedestrian crossing change in this Preliminary Plat amendment and would be willing to work with AKM Farms and their proposal. He noted that Capstone would still be a few years out from providing that western utility extension and therefore there is time for those details to be worked out. He stated that they would like to work with the City and would be willing to accommodate the connection but noted that the City cannot change a Preliminary Plat that has already been approved. He stated that the letter from AKM Farms came to the City and Capstone one day before the Planning Commission meeting and they still have not received a proposal. Councilmember Shryock asked if Capstone would be opposed to stubbing a road connection in the western border that would provide connection to a future development in the west. Community Development Director Gladhill stated that the discussion on road connection is merely a discussion as staff has not prepared for that discussion. He stated that all the concepts for Outlot C have two access points on Alpine Drive. He stated that a road connection would be a new variable. Councilmember Shryock stated that she was not asking for a commitment but simply input from Capstone and whether the City would be okay with the two connection points on Alpine for Outlot C. Mr. Bona replied that Capstone has an approved Preliminary Plat and therefore Capstone has a legal entitlement and that discussion would lose value. He stated that Capstone would oppose a change to the Preliminary Plat that has already been approved. He stated that if there was a proposal provided to Capstone prior to Final Plat, with monetary compensation, Capstone would be open to that discussion. He explained that it would be lost value to the approved plat and Capstone would not be open to that at this point. He confirmed that the decision would come down to the value of the land that has been lost. City Council Work Session / June 26, 2018 Page 4 of 8
