CC Regular Session 5. 7. Meeting Date: 02/24/2020 By: Bruce Westby, Engineering/Public Works Information Title Adopt Resolution #20-015 Ordering a Feasibility Report and Calling a Public Hearing for the Development Initiated Puma Street Extension Improvements, Improvement Project #20-04 Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to consider adopting Resolution #20-015 ordering a Feasibility Report and calling a Public Hearing for Improvement Project #20-04, Development Initiated Puma Street Extension Improvements. Background: The proposed improvements addressed in this case are the latest in a series of projects providing necessary street and utility improvements to serve commercial and residential developments in the immediate area. The Puma Street Extension Improvements are being driven by two residential development projects, one on each side of Puma Street south of Alpine Drive (Riverstone by Capstone Homes and Alpha Development by AKM Farm/Paxmar). Attached are draft layouts for both developments. In the fall of 2017, municipal utility extension improvements were constructed along approximately 1,400-feet of Bunker Lake Boulevard, east of Puma Street. These utility extensions were required to serve portions of the Riverstone residential development west of Puma Street, as well as a portion of the Bunker Lake Industrial Park development south of Bunker Lake Boulevard and east of Puma Street. In late 2017 and early 2018, municipal utility extension improvements were constructed along Puma Street, north of Bunker Lake Boulevard. These utility improvements support a majority of the Riverstone residential development, future commercial and residential development east of Puma Street, plus a small area of undeveloped land in the Northfork development, west of the Riverstone development. These areas are within the City's urban service areas (MUSA) thereby requiring service by City sewer and water. During the summer and fall of 2018, permanent roadway improvements were completed on the sections of Bunker Lake Boulevard and Puma Street where the utility improvements were completed. Capstone Homes plans to start developing the north half of the Riverstone residential development this spring as shown on the attached plat. This will require the northern half of Puma Street to be reconstructed to replace the existing temporary pavement section with a permanent pavement section, as well as the extension of municipal utilities (sanitary sewer and water). Trunk watermain will be extended to Alpine Drive to allow for a looped watermain system to serve all properties in the immediate area from more than one direction. Alpine Drive is scheduled to be reconstructed in 2025 per the City's current Capital Improvement Program (CIP), at which time trunk watermain will be constructed from Armstrong Boulevard to Puma Street. Capstone Homes has asked the City to assess them for their share of the costs for this work, which includes all costs benefitting the Riverstone development west of Puma Street. Staff has been working with Capstone Homes to finalize the assessment program, which the City Council is being asked to approve via a separate case on the regular agenda this evening
