. . I Memorandum, Planning Case #97-06, Welsh Development Company, Progress Update .- Page Three October 9, 1997 . Friday, October 10, staff has no new information on the status of Naegele's acceptance of the agreement. Attorney Filla is in direct contact with the Naegele attorneys in Georgia trying to complete the deal. I Naegele is required to provide its billboard tenants with a 30 - 60 day notice to remove the billboard structures and vacate the property. This notice has not been given. It is unclear as to . how this will affect the necessary utility work in the area of the billboards. In regards to the Naegele title documentation, the City has not received this from Naegele. Mr. . Brown has indicated he has found some information which appears to be updated only into the early 1970's. Mr. Filla is attempting to gain access to this information from Naegele attorneys. . Again, to date, no success in obtaining this information. The City Council is also aware that the shift in the elevations and site plan changes caused the . need for ponding/wetland mitigation on the Naegele property. Staff received the legal descriptions from our engineer on Thursday, October 9, which describes the area necessary to construct these ponds. As the Council can see, the pond/wetland significantly exceeds the Ie boundaries of the NSP easement. Naegele is not awarc of the extent of property outside the easement necessary to construct the ponds, thereby allowing for the site plan changes previously approved. Staff has forwarded this information to Naegele and will now try to negotiate the . acquisition of these items. The City Council will need to determine if this should be resolved prior to starting construction on the street and utilities. I UtilitieslPlans The contractor, Lametti, has not yet seen the completed construction plans. The final plans obviously include some significant revisions based on the site plan changes. The City will need . to undertake a Change Order immediately upon awarding the contract, and a second Change Order related to plan changes in the near future. . The current transition in engineers between Howard R. GreenlMSA and BRW, Inc. has further complicated this issue. Howard R. GreenlMSA does not appear to be willing to certify the plans . prior to the October 14, 1997 meeting. It may be the case that the City does not have certifiable plans until October 27,1997 or later. . Staff met with Lametti on Friday to discuss the status oftheir bid. They indicated that they could not start utility work until the week of October 27, 1997. This would allow for two weeks of clearing and grubbing which needs to take place. Lametti has indicated it has no problem with . adjusting the contract to allow for termination upon completion of the utility work, should the Welsh project fall apart. The City will need to obtain agreements from the property owners to .. allow for construction to begin prior to closing. . --------------
