Minnetrista directs public works to repair Hunters Crest ponds after developer goes silent
Summary
Council instructed city staff to have public works perform restorations at the Hunters Crest ponds and to obtain a contractor quote for concrete work after repeated attempts to reach the developer failed; staff will track costs and pursue reimbursement from the developer or responsible parcels.
Mayor Lisa Whalen and Minnetrista City staff directed city public works on May 19 to proceed with repairs at the ponds in the Hunters Crest development after the developer failed to respond to repeated notices about outstanding warranty items.
Staff said the city had sent official notice and included a letter in the council packet documenting months of correspondence that produced no reply. Allison, a city staff member, told the council: "the city can go ahead and do the improvements and assess the cost back to the properties." She said most restoration work could be done by city forces but that some concrete work — damaged sidewalk panels, curb and gutter, and a section at a road edge — would require a contractor and "it would be around $2,500."
