/~ D. L ,
CITY OF SHAKOPEE
Memorandum COr~SE~JT
TO: Mayor & City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Riverside Fields 3Td Addition Building Permits
DATE: February 1, 2005
INTRODUCTION:
Attached is a letter from Ryan Lewis of Centex Homes requesting building permits for
the above referenced subdivision. Centex Homes did complete the concrete curb &
gutter and street paving on this street which is a cul-de-sac.
BACKGROUND:
This past year the City Council did adopt a policy on when building permits can be
allowed and essentially the significant change is to allow permits on bituminous paved
surface versus gravel surfaced roads.
In this particular case, Centex did complete the street, however, has not completed the
storm sewer along the rear lot lines. In my opinion, the intent of the policy has been met
and Centex is agreeing to limit the number of lots and not to receive a Certificate of
Occupancy until the storm sewer is installed.
I did consult with the City Attorney on this issue and we both felt that the intent of the
policy was being met and permits could be issued with conditions.
This item is being brought to the City Council since the policy does define "substantially
complete" as all utilities being installed as well as the bituminous street paving and
concrete curb & gutter.
Staff has worked with the developer to limit building permits in an area that is acceptable
and no Certificates of Occupancy will be granted until the storm sewer is installed and
accepted. Staff does support this request and asked for Council concurrence.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve a motion to allow the issuance of seven building permits, Lots 4-10,
Block 1, Riverside Fields 3rd Addition subject to no Certificate of Occupancy,
until the rear lot line storm sewer has been installed and accepted by the City.
2. Do not allow any building permits in this subdivision.
3. Table for additional information.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff would recommend Alternative No.1, as the developer has limited the num.ber of
building permits and agreed to no Certificate of Occupancies until the storm sewer
installation is completed in the spring. Staff believes there is ample time to complete the
storm sewer prior to completing the building.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve a motion to allow the issuance of seven building permits, Lots 4-10, Block 1,
Riverside Fields 3rd Addition subject to no Certificate of Occupancy, until the rear lot line
storm sewer has been installed and accepted by the City.

Re: Riverside Field 3rcl Addition
Dear Mr. Loney:
We are hereby requesting from the City of Shakopee seven building permits for Riverside Fields
3rll Addition. Centex Homes purchased Riverside Fields 3fd Addition on November 6th, 2004 and
had planned on having all of the grading, streets and utilities completed prior to freeze up.
However, during the grading portion of the project we encountered deeper glass cleanouts than
anticipated, which required additional time in our schedule.
Additionally, In reviewing the relationship of the rear yard storm sewer in block 1 lots 11-17 and
the adjacent property owner, It was in the best interest of all parties to realign the storm sewer
onto the commercial property. 6y the time the' new plans were designed and approved by the
city the frost had set into the ground. Centex Homes has made every effort to complete the
storm sewer and water main, but due to the frost being 3 to 5 feet deep we would expect to pay
astronomical pricing to complete this project at this time of the year.
Centex Homes plans on completing aU outstanding work in Riverside Fields 3rd Addition
immediately after the frost comes out of the ground. We understand that there would not be any
certificates of occupancy issued until the utilities were completed and tested in the 3rd Addition if
permits were issued. The permits we are requesting are Block 1 lots 4-10 (exhibit A)
Thank you for your attention to this malter, and if you have any questions, or require any
additional Information, please call me at 952.912.5441.
Sincerely,
Centex Homes l
