The streets are listed on "Attachment A" to the resolution and are located within the Taramore, Owl Creek, Belle Terra and Tuscany Hills subdivisions.
The street acceptance policy is shown below. The proposed streets have been constructed and inspected for compliance with the requirements of the Brentwood Subdivision Regulations. Final inspections of all improvements have been completed by the Engineering Department staff.
Sec. 58-12. Street acceptance policy.
(a) No street within the city shall be considered as having been accepted by the city as a public street unless:
(1) It has been constructed by the city or under contract with the city and construction is substantially complete;or
(2) The street has been constructed in compliance with the city's subdivision regulations and a resolution accepting the street has been passed by the board of commissioners.
(b) No street within the city shall be accepted or opened as or shall have otherwise received the legal status of a public street without prior inspection and approval by the city engineer.
(c) The owner of any subdivision or his agent shall pay to the city an inspection fee for each linear foot on all streets in any subdivision, in compliance with the current subdivision regulations of the city. The fee shall be paid prior to the laying out, opening, improving, grading or paving of any streets. The amount of such inspection fee shall be established by the city manager from time to time as deemed appropriate to fully recover the cost of the services.
Based on Engineering Department inspections, the amount of the current construction security, as applicable, will be reduced and converted to a maintenance security via a letter of credit. The maintenance security will be held for a minimum of one year to insure no deterioration of the improvements prior to final release and incorporation into the official City street system for future City maintenance.
Please contact the Engineering Director if you have any questions on the streets. |
