Mr. Benton gave an overview of the application and answered questions from the Board concerning the installation of the sidewalk, issuing a Certificate of Occupancy once the sidewalk is complete, paying the sidewalk fee up front, renewable sidewalk agreement and timeline on installing the sidewalks.
Mr. Messer asked why the city doesn't insist the sidewalks be put in instead of a surety bond.
Mr. Benton explained if the sidewalks are installed in two months, with the plat approval, a portion of the sidewalk would most likely need to be removed during construction of future development on the parcel. Mr. Benton stated the developers offered an opportunity to provide a guarantee that the sidewalk will be completed in a definitive time line, which will be decided at the time of final plat, or along with the development.
Mr. Messer expressed that If the city wants sidewalks it starts with the Planning Board insisting sidewalks be put in instead of taking the money.
Rich Laventure, Applicant Representative, from Laventure & Associates, provided some background and answered questions from the Board. Mr. Laventure stated that all the trades will be rolling over the sidewalks during construction and the building dept will not give a Certificate of Occupancy until the sidewalk is complete.
Board discussion ensued.
Motion was made by Robert Poitier, and seconded by Charles Hayek to forward a recommendation of approval to the City Commission with the following condition:
1. The Preliminary Plat incorporates the installation of, or a renewable surety for, a sidewalk within 24 months, to further the required connection along Metal Drive pursuant to City Code Section 22-62 (b) & (d).
