Regular City Council Meeting Monday,July 22,2013 Page 15 the Preliminary Plat previously approved, with conditions as outlined in the RCA. Mr. Lloyd provided an updated Tree Preservation Plan. City Engineer Debra Bloom summarized the Public Improvement Contract; and various components addressed for the development entitled, "Millwood Court," in accordance with that contract. Specifics of the contract and areas addressing con- cerns expressed by neighbors included lowering the grade of existing ground to facilitate adjacent properties with a high capacity, low clog stormwater manage- ment structure for overland drainage to a swale and then into an infiltration sys- tem, one each on the east and west side of the plat. Ms. Bloom advised that the infiltration basins were constructed to have gravel and a pipe so water can pool and then flow to the structure underneath before draining to the tile; all designed not to exceed current runoff and for 100-year storm events. Ms. Bloom reviewed the provisions of the maintenance agreements as part of the contract for City and developer/future property owner responsibilities; with the City retaining the right to take over any maintenance no up to standards and charge the cost back to the property owner. Ms. Bloom noted that the drainage system should serve the stormwater management needs of the area while also providing an attractive entry system into the development itself. Discussion among staff and Councilmembers included confirmation that there were no stormwater catch basins in the cul-de-sac itself, but with a crown de- signed on the road there would be no water pushed out onto Millwood Avenue, with a curve intended to facilitate coming off the curb line; confirmation of maintenance agreements for each lot that would follow the property and hold fu- ture property owners accountable as well and becoming part of the title to the property; and a review by staff of the drainage function and various maintenance components. Councilmember Willmus questioned whether it would be more prudent to spread the costs of the maintenance of the storm drainage system on the two outlots to all six (6) lots as they all benefited from that system. Ms. Bloom deferred that ques- tion to the developer. Mr. Lloyd sought City Council preference for naming the street, noting that the City's building official suggested Milton as there was a north/south street in an- other area of the City roughly lining up with this street. Mr. Lloyd advised that the developer did not have a preference at this time, with no one else having a great interest in the street name; but suggested by the building official as "Milton Court." Discussion ensued regarding the ease for emergency services personnel to weigh in on the name, with Mr. Lloyd advising that they had been part of the discussion at the Design Review Committee (DRC) level and had expressed no concerns.
