CC Regular Session 5. 22. Meeting Date: 12/14/2021 Submitted For: Chloe McGuire Brigl, Community Development By: Brian McCann, Community Development Information Title Adopt Resolutions#21-343 and#21-346 Approving Park Maintenance Agreement and Accepting Outlot C for Riverstone Purpose/Background: The purpose of this case is to approve a park maintenance agreement for City-owned Outlot C of the Riverstone development,known as Pearson Park. The agreement includes City responsibilities of maintaining,repairing, and necessary improvements of the park; all other maintenance responsibilities will be provided by the Riverstone Home Owner's Association(HOA). It may be noted here,that requiring the HOA to be perpetually responsible for certain park maintenance was a condition of the original Development Agreement and was intended to limit maintenance costs city-wide, for park improvements that primarily benefited the Developer and new residents of the Riverstone subdivision. Of further note,Park Dedication land credit was not calculated for the approximate one acre parcel(Outlot C), and the full cash Park Dedication per-unit amount was collected for the construction of Pearson Park, and for the future development of Lake Itasca Park on the north side of Alpine Drive. Notification: No notification is required for this step. Observations/Alternatives: Park Maintenance Agreement Exhibit B on the attached Park Maintenance Agreement shows the maintenance areas,what they include, and whose responsibility they are(HOA or City). Based on the exhibit,HOA responsibilities are: .Dormant mowing on the north/west sides of the park(once every year); . Small areas of irrigated turf grass on the northeast and southwest(maintained as needed); and .Low grow native grasses (twice per summer). City responsibilities include: •Perimeter of the wood chip zones central to the park including the play equipment(as needed); and .Dwarf Bush Honeysuckle(as needed). Descriptions of the required maintenance of these areas can be found on the last two(2)pages of the Park Maintenance Agreement. The Warranty Deed for Outlot C for the park is attached to this case. Funding Source: The Applicant is responsible for all costs associated with project review and approvals. Recommendation: Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolutions#21-343 and#21-346 Action:
