Council asked to place Evergreen Ridge Metro District dissolution on consent; staff says no debt or obligations
Summary
Planning staff told council that Evergreen Ridge Metropolitan District — newly formed and wholly inside the city — has no debt, no assets and that the landowner/developer will construct improvements and manage common areas via HOA; staff recommended placing a resolution consenting to dissolution on the consent agenda.
Planning Director Kevin Walker briefed the City Council on April 13 on a developer‑initiated request to dissolve the Evergreen Ridge Metropolitan District.
Walker said the district, created in 2023 and lying entirely within city limits in District 3, has a single landowner (the developer), no issued debt, no financial obligations and no public improvements yet in the district’s ownership. He said roughly 138 townhome units are partially constructed on the approximately 20‑acre site, with about half of the property in preservation.
Under state statute, Walker said a metropolitan district can be dissolved without an election so long as it is wholly within the city, holds no debt or financial obligations and does not own public improvements; staff said those conditions are satisfied. The developer plans to move common‑area maintenance to a homeowners association and to construct the previously proposed improvements directly.
Staff recommended the resolution be placed on the consent agenda; council indicated no dissent during the work session. No formal separate funding or adoption action was recorded in the work session minutes beyond placing the item on consent.
