PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
At the October 28, 2019 meeting, City Council will consider annexation of the Certificate of Survey 840, Tract 1-A. The property is located along Barrett Road east of Medicine Crow Middle School. Barrett Road, LLC has purchased the property and desires to be in the City. In December of 2018, the property was re-zoned to a Planned Unit Development by the County. The property owners desires to construct multi-family dwelling units on the property. Typically, as a condition of approval of the annexation, the property owner is to enter into a development agreement with the City of Billings outlining necessary public improvements. The property owner has submitted the attached Development Agreement and the Council will consider whether to approve the agreement. The improvements include construction of curb and gutter, street widening, utility extensions, and construction of boulevard sidewalk from the west property line all the way to Hawthorne Lane. Even though the property does not extend to Hawthorne Lane, the owner has elected to construct the sidewalk to Hawthorne Lane within the existing right of way.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
City Council may:
- If the annexation is approved, then approve the development agreement with the property owner; or
- Disapprove the development agreement. If the agreement is not approved, the responsibility for infrastructure improvements would be the same during development other than the extension of the trail to Hawthorne. If the agreement is not approved, the developer would not be obligated to complete the connection to Hawthorne. The remaining section would be completed at such time as the adjacent property developed.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact to the City with acceptance of this development agreement.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the development agreement with Barrett Road, LLC.
