COUNCIL PROPOSAL
Date: File Number: Subject: Request to Waive Community Facility Requirements for
3 a3 0q 242 Replat of a Certai L t in the Hyde--.�ennings Subdivision
Proposed By: City Manager's Review: Page:
Councilmember Becky Haskin City Attorney's Review: ! PAGE 10F 2
It is proposed that the City Council:
Consider exemption of the requirement that James Kirk Lancaster enter into a Community Facilities
Agreement (CFA) with the City, as would normally be required in conjunction with his application to
re-plat a lot on Milam Street into six lots for residential development. A CFA would require the
6 developer to provide 100% of the costs associated with the construction of curb, gutter, sidewalks, and
other infrastructure improvements adjacent to the subject lots.
DISCUSSION:
Mr. James Lancaster submitted a final plat for review by the Plan Commission in order to subdivide one
lot on Milam Street into six lots for residential development. Staff comments included the requirement
that Mr. Lancaster enter into a CFA for infrastructure improvements adjacent to the subject lots.
Execution of the CFA is required before the final plat can be filed with the County and before any
building permits are issued.
Milam Street is currently unimproved. No curb, gutter, or sidewalks are currently in place along the
block in question. Current policy will require a CFA for any future platting and development that occurs
along the block.
LEGALITY:
The Law Department finds that this proposal is legal and within the authority of the City Council.
FISCAL NOTE:
The Finance Director certifies that approval of this proposal will not require the appropriation of
additional funds. However, the City will be responsible for the cost of the infrastructure improvements
when they are constructed.

COUNCIL PROPOSAL
Date: File Number: Subject:
Request to Waive Community Facility Requirements for Replat
�b 242 of a Certain Lot in the Hyde—Jennings Subdivision
Proposed By: ity Manager's Review: Page:
Councilmember Becky Haskin City Attorney's Review: Page 2. of 2
CITY MANAGER'S COMMENT:
The City's policy for Installation of Community Facilities was adopted by the City Council on March
20, 2001. The policy requires that when property is platted, the owner either constructs adjacent
w infrastructure necessary to serve the development to City standards, or provides escrow funds for future
construction. In this case, the City would require concrete sidewalks, curb, and gutter, and an asphalt
tie-in to existing pavement. This neighborhood street is not included in the 2004 bond program.
Therefore, Milam Street is not scheduled for reconstruction by the City in the next six years. If the
requested waiver were approved, the City would bear 100% of the cost of these improvements in the
future. Should it be the desire of City Council to approve this request, our recommendation would be to
consider this an exception to the policy, not a policy change.
