Cedarburg council approves Quarry Park subdivision development agreement
Summary
The Cedarburg common council approved a development agreement for the 24‑lot Quarry Park Subdivision, requiring the developer to install streets, utilities and stormwater improvements and to secure a letter of credit; council clarified that streets will be public and that some maintenance tasks will fall to a homeowners association.
The Cedarburg common council on April 21 approved a development agreement for the Quarry Park Subdivision, a proposed 24 single‑family lot development west of Sheboygan Road and north of Brenton Lane.
City engineer Mike Wieser told the council the agreement requires the developer to construct all subdivision improvements at its cost, including sewer, water, storm sewer, roadway, curb and gutter, sidewalks, street lamps, signs and private utilities, and it sets deadlines the developer must meet to obtain building and occupancy permits. Wieser also said the agreement specifies the amount of a letter of credit the developer must obtain to secure completion of the work. "It was pretty cut and dry," Wieser said, summarizing staff review of the terms.
Council members asked whether the streets would be public and who would handle long‑term maintenance such as snow removal. Wieser confirmed the streets in the subdivision will be public. He also said the homeowners association created by the developer will take responsibility for stormwater ponds and some interior sidewalk upkeep, while routine city sidewalk maintenance will remain separate. "These are public streets," Wieser said when answering a council question about maintenance and jurisdiction.
A council member moved to approve the development agreement; a second was recorded and the motion passed with no opposition noted in the meeting transcript. The agreement was drafted by city staff, reviewed by city attorney Herbrand, and agreed to by the developer, Wieser said.
The agreement establishes completion milestones that must be met before building and occupancy permits are issued and requires a letter of credit; the exact letter‑of‑credit amount and construction schedule are specified in the agreement but were not read aloud during the meeting. Construction timing and permit milestones are now subject to the developer meeting those contract conditions and any applicable permitting process.
The council's approval finalizes the city's contractual terms with the developer and clears the way for permit review and site work to proceed under the contract's timelines.
