RE: Initial Resolution for Paving, Sidewalk, Driveway & Utilities /Fraser Drive & Hemlock Court
BACKGROUND
This resolution is the initial resolution which allows the City to levy special assessments upon
properties for improvements completed by the City. Fraser Drive (west of Edgewood Road) and
Hemlock Court (north of Fraser Drive) are proposed for concrete pavement, sidewalk, driveways,
and associated utility construction. Those streets were initially developed by a private developer in
2005. The private developer is not able to finish the street construction per the requirements of the
Developer's Agreement. This work will be completed as part of an existing City of Oshkosh concrete
paving construction contract.
ANALYSIS
The resolution allows City Staff to proceed with preparing estimates of the special assessments for
the abutting properties. A public hearing and final resolution need to be approved by the Council
prior the assessments being levied on the properties.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Developer's Agreement for Edgewood Village Subdivision regulates the completion of various
improvements on Fraser Drive and Hemlock Court. The Developers Agreement also requires that
the developer (or any successor in title) pay the actual construction costs incurred by the City for the
installation of the improvements. All costs will be paid by the property owners in this subdivision.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
