Memo to Planning Commission Planning Case #02-25: Preliminary Plat and Master Plan PUD Page 6 of 12 . · Reconstructing "Cummings Park Drive" at Guidant's expense in accordance with plans and specifications approved by the City Engineer, The City currently has standards for street reconstruction. After an evaluation of the private access drive by the City Engineer, it was determined that the pavement condition index (PCI) was within the threshold for street reconstruction. As such, prior to dedicating the street to the City, it will be necessary for it to be reconstructed in conformance with plans and specifications approved by the City Engineer. Based on discussions with Guidant, they are amenable to this. To ensure that the above is appropriately accounted for and implemented, staff would also recommend incorporating a condition requiring the execution of a development agreement for developer installed public improvements. Finally, it will also be necessary for Guidant to provide a perpetual access easement for the Xeel Energy Substation, Xcel eurrently accesses the property from Fernwood on the south via an unimproved access drive.
