Plans were approved, then they came in with improvements to the plan. To my knowledge everything was good and ready to move forward with improvements. Councilman Ron Cardwell addressed the council. He asked Jeff from Garver engineering if drainage improvements were discussed for Morgan Road? Jeff indicated that they were not. He also questioned the ditch line south to the bridge as well as the size of the culvert. Councilman Jonathan Hisey addressed the council. After reviewing the plan for the structure off of Morgan Rd, he does not feel that it structurally meets the standard for a box culvert. The one in the plans is not adequate for the load. Councilman Ron Cardwell advised that he had also reviewed the plans and noticed that the edge is next to wing wall, there is a 3 foot drop off and no room to slope. That not being there will affect Morgan Rd. and the drainage there. Mayor Pro-Tem Kevan Blasdel wanted to verify that we are acknowledging and ratifying? Attorney Mike Segler stated that the issue is that staff has already issued the letter to proceed to the developer. Staff thought that was within there authority to do so. Councilman Jonathan Hisey asked that if in his professional opinion as an engineer and as a councilmember was to look out for the citizens of Piedmont and this box culvert is not designed properly for the traffic that will be running on top of it. How do we resolve that issue? Attorney Mike Segler stated that we could have our engineers at Garver review and recalculate that particular part. Councilman Ron Cardwell made a motion to acknowledge the ratification of notice to proceed considering the box culvert and drain issue be reviewed and discussed between Garver and developer. Motion was seconded by Councilman Jonathan Hisey Vote Was: AYE: Mayor Pro Tem Kevan Blasdel, Councilman Ron Cardwell, Councilman Jonathan Hisey, and Councilman Melissa Ashford NAY: None f) Discussion, consideration and possible action on acknowledgement and ratification of acceptance of as-builts and maintenance bonds related to Shenandoah I to be dated 3/18/2021 to complete a Final Plat of Shenandoah I submitted by Mark and Phil LLC at the following property: A TRACT OF LAND IN THE NORTHEAST QUARTER (NE/4) OF SECTION THIRTY- FIVE (35), TOWNSHIP FOURTEEN (14) NORTH, RANGE FIVE (5) WEST OF THE INDIAN MERIDIAN, CANADIAN COUNTY, OKLAHOMA, MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED AS FOLLOWS: COMMENCING AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF SAID NORTHEAST QUARTER (NE/4): THENCE S00°17'50" E ALONG THE EAST LINE OF SAID NORTHEAST QUARTER (NE/4) (BASIC OF BEARING), A DISTANCE OF 747.38 FEET TO THE POINT OF BEGINNING; THENCE CONTINUING S 00°17'50' E ALONG THE EAST LINE OF SAID NORTHEAST QUARTER (NE/4), A DISTANCE OF 1218.08 FEET; THENCE S 89°59'46" W A DISTANCE OF 250.67 FEET; THENCE S 62°27'31" W A DISTANCE OF 67.49 FEET: THENCE N 89°59'38" W A DISTANCE OF 130.84 FEET; THENCE N 85°57'35" W A DISTANCE OF 113.58 FEET; THENCE N 82°12'29" W A DISTANCE OF 113.75 FEET; THENCE N 78°27'12" W A DISTANCE OF 113.74 FEET; THENCE N 74°41'57" W A DISTANCE OF 113.74 FEET; THENCE N 70°56'44" W A DISTANCE OF 113.69 FEET; THENCE N 67°11'34" W A DISTANCE OF 113.71 FEET; THENCE N 63°26'22" W A DISTANCE OF l 13.70 FEET; THENCE N 59°41'12" W A DISTANCE OF 113.69 FEET; THENCE N 55°56'03" W A DISTANCE OF 113.68 FEET; THENCE N 52° 10'49" W A DISTANCE OF 113.77 FEET; THENCE N 47°06'39" W A DISTANCE OF 139.89 FEET; THENCE N 43°16'36" W A DISTANCE OF 179.63 FEET; THENCE N 38°37'05" W A DISTANCE OF 84.51 FEET; THENCE N 53°02'31" E A DISTANCE OF 519.91 FEET; THENCE N 05°02'28" W A DISTANCE OF 230.92 FEET; THENCE N 89°20'39" E A DISTANCE OF 235.13 FEET; THENCE N 00°01'40" W A DISTANCE OF 337.57.38 FEET; THENCE ON A CURVE TO THE LEFT WITH AN ARC LENGTH OF 62.89’, A RADIUS OF 104.96’ A CHORD BEARING OF N 17°09'36" W, AND A CHORD LENGTH OF 61.95’, THENCE ON A REVERSE CURVE TO THE RIGHT WITH AN ARC LENGTH OF 93.30’, A RADIUS OF 195.00’, A CHORD BEARING OF N 13°47'42" W, AND A CHORD LENGTH OF 93.00’.; THENCE N 00°00'16" E A DISTANCE OF 184.86 FEET; THENCE N 45°19'41" W A DISTANCE OF 35.15 FEET; THENCE S 89°20'39" W A DISTANCE OF 320.32 FEET; THENCE N 00°17'50" W A DISTANCE OF 50.00 FEET TO A POINT ON THE NORTH LINE OF SAID NORTHEAST QUARTER (NE/4); THENCE N 89°20'39" E ALONG THE NORTH LINE OF SAID NORTHEAST QUARER (NE/4), A DISTANCE OF 475.00 FEET; THENCE S 00°17'50" E A DISTANCE OF 747.38 FEET; THENCE S 89°20'39" W A DISTANCE OF 1033.82 FEET TO THE POINT OF BEGINNING; SAID TRACT HAVING AN AREA OF 1,825,180.31 SQUARE FEET OF 41.900 ACRES, MORE OR LESS. Community Development Scott Garnand stated that this was approved after the as-builts were received and the work had been done. The maintenance bond was received for the water but not the sewer yet. Mayor Pro-Tem Kevan Blasdel asked if everything was correct with what was turned in? Additional comments were made by Councilman Cardwell in regards to the water lines and the difference in the as-builts and what was actually on the property. He questioned the update of these items. Attorney Mike Segler stated that the as-builts had already been approved by staff. Updates from the developer will be needed going forward. Councilman Jonathan Hisey addressed the council with a power point presentation in regards to the slopes of the original plans and the changes made in the change order. 3 to 1 slop was shown on the as-builts but that is not what was built. Also, the size of the box culvert is also not the same as was originally stated. He also showed that the area on the bridge was in need of a guardrail according to the measurements. He also showed long cracks in the pavement that needed to be repaired. In his opinion there needs to be further investigation into why these several things where done the way they were. Councilman Ron Cardwell further stated that he believes that Garver should be actively working trying to justify some of why these roads were built the way they were and why is the council being asked to accept them in that condition? Jeff from Garver engineering stated that they were not called out to inspect the work and those were not the plans they approved. Councilman Jonathan Hisey asked staff who did the inspection? Community Development director stated that he did not specifically know who had done the inspection and moving forward he realizes this is something he will make sure of. Mayor Pro-Tem Kevan Blasdel asked Mr. Segler what are our options? City Attorney Mr. Segler stated that the developer relied on staff to approve the as-builts as they were and staff gave their approval. You can request updated as-builts from the developer. Mayor Pro-Tem Kevan Blasdel stated that he believed the consensus was to not approve tonight and get these updates? Councilman Melissa Ashford asked if this could be tabled with conditions? Attorney Mike Segler stated it can be tabled but you will have to direct staff to get updated maintenance bonds signed and reviewed prior to approval? They will need to be retroactive back to March. Councilman Ron Cardwell addressed the council This needs to be investigated. We have ordinances and processes that need to be followed. We are working on fixing it so that they will be followed. The recommendation should come from our city engineer. Councilman Ron Cardwell made a motion to ratify the acceptance of as-builts and maintenance bond and that the city attorney investigate how and why this has happened the way that it has and in conjunction with the city engineer, determine how and who approved the change of this roadway to what it is currently because that does not match the latest approved plan and that the maintenance bond company/contractor be notified of the damage that is occurring on the road currently and that a plan to repair it be prepared and provided to the city engineer for approval before any repair work is done. I’d like to add that the safety aspects of the roadway that Mr. Hisey has brought together be addressed for this road and the citizens that will be using it. Discussion continued as how to resolve the issues of the roadway and how we move forward to having the road fixed. Councilman Jonathan Hisey made a motion to amend the original motion made by Councilman Cardwell. He wanted to add that the city does not accept that section of road until proper investigation has been completed by the city engineer or city attorney to correct the road as originally shown in the plans. The area of the road being Makenzie Trail from Edmond Rd. south 800 feet. Councilman Ron Cardwell seconded that motion. Vote Was: AYE: Mayor Pro Tem Kevan Blasdel, Councilman Ron Cardwell, Councilman Jonathan Hisey, and Councilman Melissa Ashford NAY: None Councilman Ron Cardwell made a motion I’ll restate my original motion that the city attorney and city engineer investigate how McKenzie Trail from Edmond Road south eight hundred feet was built in the manner in which we are asked to accept it because it does not agree with the latest approved plans and that the maintenance bond also be called upon for fixing that road. That any repairs to that road have to be proposed and approved by our city engineer. We’ll accept the as-builts as they are what they are, it is what it is, plus minor errors here and there. And, that the maintenance bonds be effective March 18, 2021 the day at which the as-builts were turned in. That notification that problems with the roadway need to be made also.
