Honorable Mayor and City Council

RE:
COUNTRY CROSSING 3RD ADDITION
PETITION FOR IMPROVEMENTS
Dear Council Members:
City staff has received a petition from Country Ridge Development Company for sanitary
sewer, water, storm drainage, and streets to serve Outlot A and Outlot B of Country Crossing
3~d Addition. Attached is a copy of the petition and a small scale copy of the plat which
shows these two outlots. These outlots make up the east frontage of Macon Street and the
north frontage of Riverview Drive. Since the petition represents more than 35% of the
affected front footage, the petition in our opinion is valid.
The City Council will recall that last year a feasibility study was done to analyze extending
City utilities and new street construction throughout the Riverview Heights and Grandview
Additions, of which Macon Street and Riverview Drive are a part. After the public hearing,
it was determined not to extend utilities through the entire subdivision, but to overlay the
streets. The overlay project excluded Macon Street and Riverview Drive because it was
anticipated that Country Ridge Development Company would be petitioning for these
improvements in a relatively short period of time. The City Council had a brief discussion
about this issue when the feasibility study for the overall area and the overlay project were
being done. At that point in time, the discussion was that the existing properties on the west
side of Macon Street and south side of Riverview Drive would be treated much the same as
properties on Fresno Street were a number of years ago. When utilities and street
reconstruction was done on Fresno Street, the existing properties were assessed for the new
street and storm drainage improvements, but were not assessed for sanitary sewer and water
improvements. It was left that the properties could hook up to sanitary sewer and water if
they so chose to, and at that point in time they would be asked to pay the assessment.
Otherwise, the assessment would be held by the City until such time that their entire area
received City utilities.
Attached is a draft resolution for the City Council's consideration. The resolution declares
the adequacy of the petition received from Country Ridge Development Company and
authorizes the preparation of the feasibility study. Unless City Council gives a different
direction, the feasibility study would be prepared as described above.
