required whereas if the developing property is adjacent to a rural character property, that <br /> connection is not required. He stated that the City worked off a previous request from Northfork <br /> Inc., which was not interested in utility connection and was only interested in rural style <br /> development. <br /> Steve Bona, Capstone, stated that they do not oppose extending water and sewer to the property <br /> to the west if the City determines that is necessary. He stated that they strongly oppose any <br /> change to their Preliminary Plat to accommodate that extension. He noted that Capstone has an <br /> approved Preliminary Plat. He stated that there were a few technicalities in the original <br /> Preliminary Plat regarding the pedestrian crossing which have been worked out between staff <br /> and Capstone. He stated that they have an entitlement through Preliminary Plat. He stated that a <br /> representative from Capstone met with AKM Farms and explained that they would need a <br /> proposal from the other property owner showing the plans, schedule, cost for engineering, and <br /> cost for the changes that would occur to the approved Preliminary Plat lots. He believed that the <br /> utility extension could be provided with only losing one lot. He stated that they would need a <br /> plan and proposal and would not want to be subjected to their plat being contingent upon that. <br /> He stated that they are willing to do a fair deal if a proposal comes to Capstone. He stated that <br /> they would use fair market value for the land and would forego the loss of the revenue for the <br /> homes that could be built, if there is a fair proposal. He stated that they are only asking for the <br /> pedestrian crossing change in this Preliminary Plat amendment and would be willing to work <br /> with AKM Farms and their proposal. He noted that Capstone would still be a few years out from <br /> providing that western utility extension and therefore there is time for those details to be worked <br /> out. He stated that they would like to work with the City and would be willing to accommodate <br /> the connection but noted that the City cannot change a Preliminary Plat that has already been <br /> approved. He stated that the letter from AKM Farms came to the City and Capstone one day <br /> before the Planning Commission meeting and they still have not received a proposal. <br /> Councilmember Shryock asked if Capstone would be opposed to stubbing a road connection in <br /> the western border that would provide connection to a future development in the west. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill stated that the discussion on road connection is <br /> merely a discussion as staff has not prepared for that discussion. He stated that all the concepts <br /> for Outlot C have two access points on Alpine Drive. He stated that a road connection would be <br /> a new variable. <br /> Councilmember Shryock stated that she was not asking for a commitment but simply input from <br /> Capstone and whether the City would be okay with the two connection points on Alpine for <br /> Outlot C. <br /> Mr. Bona replied that Capstone has an approved Preliminary Plat and therefore Capstone has a <br /> legal entitlement and that discussion would lose value. He stated that Capstone would oppose a <br /> change to the Preliminary Plat that has already been approved. He stated that if there was a <br /> proposal provided to Capstone prior to Final Plat, with monetary compensation, Capstone would <br /> be open to that discussion. He explained that it would be lost value to the approved plat and <br /> Capstone would not be open to that at this point. He confirmed that the decision would come <br /> down to the value of the land that has been lost. <br /> City Council Work Session /June 26, 2018 <br /> Page4of8 <br />
