Public Improvement Agreement (PIA):
A Public Improvements Agreement (PIA) ensures that the agreed upon Infrastructure Improvements, such as sewer lines, roadway improvements, and other utilities are completed by the Applicant/Developer by a certain time. If the Applicant/Developer doesn’t complete the improvements by the required time, the City will complete the work at the cost of the Applicant/Developer. The PIA provides financial security and assurance for the City and its Residents that this critical Infrastructure is completed in a timely manner at no-cost to Residents.
The Applicant/Developer has entered into a PIA with the City that requires Surety sufficient to guarantee the required on-site and off-site improvements identified above for the development of Uplands Filings No. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (Parcels A, B, C, D, and E) in accordance with section 11-6-4, W.M.C.
Surety:
The Applicant/Developer shall pay for One Hundred Percent (100%) of the costs of all required on-site and off-site water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and other public infrastructure, without any contribution from the city, required to support the construction of Uplands Filings No. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (Parcels A, B, C, D, and E).
Plat:
A Plat or Subdivision Plat is a map drawn to a specified scale that shows the division of a tract of land. Plats generally indicate a lot and block designation for all lots depicted on the plat. Additionally, plats show the boundaries of all proposed easements, alleyways, and streets that are adjacent to or contained within the tract being subdivided or assembled. In order for a Plat to be legally valid, it must meet the local subdivision and zoning requirements, be approved by the City and be recorded with the County.
One Hundred Percent (100%) of the proposed Public Land Dedication (PLD) and View Corridors as shown in the PDP shall be dedicated to the City concurrent with the approval of the first Plat for Uplands Filing No. 1 (Parcel A). A mutually acceptable Maintenance Agreement has entered into between the Applicant and the City to address maintenance until the land is developed for its intended use.
The PLD consisting of 40.6 acres will be transferred to the City at the first plat for Plat for Uplands Filing No. 1 (Parcel A). Typically, PLDs are transferred in phases as the property is developed.
The City and the Applicant/Developer will jointly manage and maintain the dedicated land to ensure Residents will have access to trails and green space as soon as possible. The City and the Applicant/Developer will engage the Community to learn more about their desired uses to design green spaces that suit the community’s needs. During Public comment, the Community voiced a desire for community gardens, walking trails, and other similar amenities. These are all suitable uses for the PLD while the City develops a long-term vision for the pld along with the Community.
