AGENDA HEADING:

 

Acceptance of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) Restoration Bond for the P.A.T. Brokerage Commercial Development.  This development consists of an 18,960 square-foot two-story commercial building, and a 4,120 square-foot single-story office building, located on 2.3 acres.  The property is to be developed by Clancy Sullivan (owner), 4518 Douglas Avenue, Des Moines, IA 50310.

 

 

SYNOPSIS:

 

Recommend Council acceptance of a restoration bond in the amount of $22,896 for the P.A.T. Brokerage Commercial Development PUD.  The restoration bond must be provided and approved by the City Council, pursuant to Section 134-706 of the City Code, before the grading permit can be issued.  The purpose of the restoration bond is to assure that the required grading and ground surface restoration in the project area is completed in a timely manner.  The P.A.T. Brokerage project is located at 4529 and 4539 Douglas Avenue.

 

 

FISCAL IMPACT:  NONE

 

Amount:  N/A

 

Funding Source:  N/A

 

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

 

When a property is zoned PUD, a PUD restoration bond must be approved by the City Council before the grading permit can be issued.  This is done to ensure that the required grading and ground surface restoration are completed in a timely manner.  The Engineering Department has determined that a restoration bond in the amount of $22,896 is required for this project for grading, filter socks/silt fence, seeding, mulching, creation of silt basin outlets and Engineering Department administrative and inspection costs.  This bond will be released once the grading and ground surface restoration of the project is completed.

 

This project will be phased so that construction of the 4,120 sq. ft. single story office building is all that is currently permitted.  However, grading and site prep for the remainder of the development (Phase II) will be conducted at this time since the grading contractor will already be on site.  All necessary erosion control measures shall be installed for the Phase II portion of the site once grading commences.
