Subdivision Entry Features - Shadow Ridge
The features referenced above and depicted on the attached exhibits
are of great concern to those residing in the subdivision. On occasion
Public Works is contacted due to the need for maintenance of these
features. That maintenance for the most part has been to remove weeds,
replace light bulbs, or repair the irrigation systems. This has been
kept to a minimum because the features are located on private property
outside the road right-of-way.
The features were installed in 1984 prior to the Streetscape plan,
which established the criteria for the maintenance of the features,
the group responsible for it, and the design, approval of the features.
The Developer installing these is not the current one and due to the
non-existent plan, the features were not well constructed, multiplying
the deterioration, process taking place now.
It is now time to ask that these features be addressed by Centex as
the property owner.
The platting of one of these features within Shadow Ridge Phase IV
led to a discussion centered on their future. Steve Stolte of Centex
did not wish to provide maintenance either through the company or
a homeowners association. He said a dedication of the features to
the City or an easement for maintenance purposes would be considered.
The primary objection of staff to this is the proximity of a possible
home site to the feature and a precedent set committing the City to
more maintenance and future dedication of these in other areas to
the City.
The actions desired by staff would be the relocation of control
mechanisms, service lines for utilities and dedication of these to
the City in those areas found within the right-of-way by the Developer
at their companies expense.
Through this the landscaping, bridge lights, and controlling mechanisms
for irrigation, lighting would remain to provide the identity the
residents wish to preserve of their subdivision. To this cause Mr.
Bill Hiser, Mr. Michael Walsh, and Mr. Dana Carpenter have regularly
contacted Public Works for assistance as previously mentioned.
This situation is complex due to the homeowners wishing to maintain
portions of the features, the City obligated for maintenance of the
medians and Centex's desire to remove any feature committing them
to a long term preseence on this area.
An emotional, if not political, solution could result pitting the
residents against, developer and possibly city into some negative
dialogue in order to attain their position of preserving the feature.
Steve Stolte's response to this is that upon completion of the home
building, these are customarily removed anyway, but due to circumstances
unknown to him they have remained on this project becoming a fixture
of the subdivion's community.
In our own review and assessment of the interest of the City are best
served through the course of action where any City maintained item
falls on public property (right-of-way).
