,'., `-:-.'.ANALYSIS <br />A substantial portion of the required improvements have been <br />Y- constructed by the developer. Remaining improvements have yet to <br />be constructed. A contract for the construction of the required <br />remaining improvements has been submitted, as well as a letter of <br />credit to secure the construction contract. The County Attorney's <br />Office has reviewed and approved the submitted contract for <br />construction and letter of credit, and the Public Works and <br />Utilities departments have inspected the completed portion of the <br />improvements and have reviewed the certified cost estimate and <br />have deemed it acceptable. It should be noted that once all <br />improvements have been completed and deemed acceptable, the <br />developer will then submit a warranty -maintenance agreement and <br />will post security to guarantee the performance of the completed <br />improvements that are dedicated to the county. <br />All applicable requirements regarding final plat approval have <br />been satisfied. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant <br />final plat approval for the Country Meadows Subdivision, authorize <br />the Chairman to execute the submitted contract for construction of <br />required improvements, and accept the letter of credit which <br />guarantees the construction contract. <br />Commissioner Bowman understood that this plat has only one <br />exit, and Community Development Director Robert Keating confirmed <br />that it does have one exit, but it is a small enough subdivision <br />where that was determined. Commissioner Bowman asked if it butts <br />up to the south end of the canal without any road, and Director <br />Keating explained that there is not a dedicated roadway along <br />this canal. <br />Commissioner Bowman believed we are asking for trouble, and <br />Director Keating advised that more and more with plats, we are <br />trying to get inter -connections where there is an established <br />grid system in the area, particularly in the larger plats, making <br />sure that there is an alternate connection point and not just one <br />access. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously (4-0, <br />Commissioner Scurlock being absent), granted final <br />plat approval for Country Meadows Subdivision, as <br />recommended by staff. <br />da 00 <br />BOOK f F ;ic <br />
