Byron council discusses self-bonding option for stormwater pond at Peachwood Drive construction
Summary
Council members discussed whether a builder could self-bond to begin construction of a Cheerleading Studio on Peachwood Drive and later be reimbursed; staff said city code requires a bond for the entire system and refunds occur after as-built approval. Stormwater Manager TJ Thiel agreed to inspect the pond at Sterling Place.
Council members discussed the bonding requirements for a stormwater retention pond tied to construction of a Cheerleading Studio on Peachwood Drive during the Aug. 4 special session.
Council Member Rusty Adams asked whether the builder could self-bond the required amount to allow construction to begin and later be reimbursed by the city because the developer reported trouble getting a bond. City officials replied that the city code requires a bond covering the entire stormwater system and that refunds are issued after the as-built drawings and system are approved; officials noted self-bonding might not be cost-efficient for the builder.
Stormwater Manager TJ Thiel said she would inspect the retention pond at Sterling Place. The minutes do not record a formal vote or change to city policy; the entry records a staff follow-up to review the Sterling Place pond and no decision to permit self-bonding was adopted at the session.
