Resolutions-2011-15

Date: December 29, 2011 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Tiffin, IA From: Michael W. Hart, P.E. Re: Rolling Hills Development – Part 4 Croell Ready Mix, Inc. Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council, The intent of this letter is to enter a written agreement between the City of Tiffin and Croell Redi Mix, Inc. A following is a quick synopsis of the last phase of the project to date. It is both Croell and the City’s desire to approve the subdivision and begin home construction expeditiously. It has been reported to Hart-Frederick Consultants, P.C. that the Council has previously approved the development and improvements, pending completion of the Punchlist dated 4/12/11 as prepared by Justin Meade, P.E. It has been reported that the sanitary sewer repairs have been completed, but that debris removal, grading and surface improvements, and other miscellaneous work items have yet to be completed. It is more conducive to complete the grading and landscaping work in the springtime rather than during the winter months. Terms of the subdivision acceptance agreement are as follows: 1) The City of Tiffin agrees to accept the subdivision improvements and to release the performance bond. Release of the performance bond will in turn start the maintenance bond two year time period. Building permits are now allowed to be issued by the City. 2) Croell Redi Mix, Inc. agrees to complete the above referenced Punchlist (remaining work items/improvements) by June 30, 2012 in its entirety. 3) Hart-Frederick Consultants, P.C. will inspect the work to make sure it is completed to an acceptable level of industry standard. 4) If the work is not completed by June 1, 2012 no more building permits will be issued by the City of Tiffin in the Rolling Hills Part 4 Subdivision. 5) Transfer of title to the Outlot B (the pond between Rolling Hills and Goldfinch) will be dedicated to the City at no cost, without encumbrance, shall be included as part of the project Punchlist. 6) Should the Punchlist not be completed to the City’s satisfaction by June 2, 2012, this Agreement will be filed at the Johnson County record’s office; and such filing will be considered title encumbrance upon the remaining lots in said subdivision.
