David DeGroot, Community Development Director Presenter & Title: Paul Evans, City Planner Date: May 11, 2015 Please Check Appropriate Box: X Committee of the Whole Meeting Special Committee of the Whole Meeting City Council Meeting Special City Council Meeting Public Hearing Other - Estimated Cost: N/A Budgeted? YES If NO, please explain how the item will be funded: NO Executive Summary: The original Prairie Ridge development, located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Peck Road and Bricher Road, was approved for 90 townhomes. Only 38 of the townhomes were ever constructed. In November of 2013 the City Council approved plans submitted by Ryan Homes to develop the undeveloped portion of Prairie Ridge as a 43-lot single-family detached home subdivision. Ryan Homes granted the City of Geneva a blanket easement on the final plat of subdivision and planned unit development for Prairie Ridge Townhomes Phase 2. The blanket easement applies to all 43 lots, except for the areas labeled as “EBE” as shown on the attached final plat of subdivision and planned unit development. The areas labeled as “EBE” are the anticipated building envelopes for the 43 single-family homes. The blank easement outside of these areas is for the purpose of installing, maintaining, relocating, repairing and replacing public utilities. As the lots have developed, Ryan Homes has identified some lots where an encroachment into the blanket easement would be necessary to allow for a deck or patio. The attached letter of correction would allow for such encroachments into the blank easement provided that all decks and permits are constructed and installed by permits issued by the City and are not located less than 5 feet from any existing utility. All decks and patios will still be required to comply with the yard and setback requirements set forth in the planned unit development. Attachments: (please list) Final Plat of Subdivision and Planned Unit Development for Prairie Ridge Townhomes Phase 2 Letter of correction Recommendation / Suggested Action: (briefly explain) Staff recommends approval of the attached letter of correction for the final plat of subdivision and planned unit development for Prairie Ridge Townhomes Phase 2. 9 10 11 Prepared By: Victoria C.

Presenter & Title: Brian L. Schiber, City Engineer/ADPW Date: April 23, 2015 Please Check Appropriate Box: X Committee of the Whole Meeting Special Committee of the Whole Meeting X City Council Meeting Special City Council Meeting Public Hearing Other - X YES Estimated Cost: $2,000.00 Budgeted? NO If NO, please explain how the item will be funded: Executive Summary: Back in September of 2014, the Council approved staff’s recommendation to award the design of the 10” ductile iron water main replacement (along the west side of Route-31 from Stevens Street north to the Corporate Limits) to ESI Consultants Ltd. in a not to exceed figure of $28,650.00. Staff has been working with ESI since then to coordinate the design with the IDOT, the Park District, and the developers of the “Park Place” townhomes. This coordination amongst the various entities has resulted in ESI making far more plan revisions than staff anticipated. ESI can document their additional expenses associated with these revisions in excess of $5800, but in the attached correspondence they are requesting a contract addendum of $2000. Staff agrees with ESI’s assertion of additional expenses beyond their original scope and staff agrees the ESI requested contract addendum of $2000 is reasonable. We are planning to have this new water main installed this coming winter, in service Spring of 2016, and the parkway restored by Spring/Summer 2016.
