Council approves Park Creek Phase 2 final plat, allows two-year delay on sidewalks with $20,000 bond
Summary
The Mexico City Council approved the final plat and acceptance of streets and utilities for Park Creek Subdivision Phase 2, allowing sidewalk construction to be postponed until after homebuilding with a $20,000 security bond and a two-year completion requirement.
The Mexico, Missouri, City Council approved an ordinance authorizing the final plat for Park Creek Subdivision Phase 2, Plat 2, and separately accepted new streets, sanitary sewer and storm sewer improvements for city maintenance.
City staff and the developer’s representative told the council that Lebanon Lane has been constructed and that utilities and other improvements meet city standards. Staff said the developer posted a $20,000 security bond to postpone sidewalk construction until houses are built and that sidewalks must be completed within two years of the ordinance’s passage.
During council questions, a member asked what would happen if some lots remain vacant at the two-year deadline. Staff and the developer said the bond language and additional bond provisions provide coverage and that the city would require completion when conditions are met. The developer and staff described the bonding arrangement as intended to avoid damage to newly constructed sidewalks during home construction.
Developers listed in the staff report were Eric Smith and Cameron Besselo, with Allstate Consultants LLC submitting the plat on their behalf. The council moved, read the ordinance by title only and recorded affirmative roll-call votes to adopt the final plat and to accept the sewers and streets into the city system.
The council’s action completes plat approval and acceptance steps so the city can maintain new infrastructure; sidewalk construction remains contingent on subsequent building activity and the bond terms.
Next steps: staff will monitor compliance with the two-year sidewalk requirement and the posted security bond; the ordinance requires sidewalks to be built within two years of passage.
