Council extends Blackwell development, accepts Trails Edge park fee and OKs water‑main reimbursement
Summary
Council granted a nine‑month extension for the Blackwell townhouse development agreement to coordinate infrastructure with adjacent Trail's Edge, authorized receipt of $77,310 in parks-in-lieu fees for Trails Edge, and approved reimbursement of up to $83,378 to CCG McCall LLC for an 8-inch 1st Street water main.
The McCall City Council on July 16 approved multiple, related development and infrastructure actions aimed at coordinating private development with necessary public improvements.
The council granted a nine-month extension to Development Agreement DA 2601 for the Blackwell Townhouse subdivision so the project can coordinate water-main relocation and other 1st Street infrastructure with the adjacent Trail's Edge project. Amy Holm, representing the applicant, said the two developments are collaborating on the water-main relocation and other public infrastructure; Meredith Todd noted the extension would allow the parties to consolidate improvements for efficiency. Holm said the development agreement includes standard options — including financial guarantees such as letters of credit or escrow — if improvements cannot be completed by the extension deadline.
On a related business agenda item, the council approved a receipt-and-release agreement to accept parks-in-lieu funds from Trails Edge. Meredith Todd said the parks in-lieu amount acceptable to parks and rec is $77,310; roughly half will fund an East–West pathway connecting Colorado and 1st Street to the railroad pathway, with the remainder directed to regional park improvements. The council authorized the mayor to sign the necessary documents.
City engineer Morgan Stroud presented a reimbursable agreement with CCG McCall LLC for replacement of an aging 6-inch water main on 1st Street with an 8-inch ductile-iron main. Stroud said the developer will construct the work and the city will reimburse up to $83,378 upon city engineer approval of the installed infrastructure. Council approved the reimbursement authorization.
Council members framed the measures as coordinated steps to ensure infrastructure obligations are met while allowing adjacent developments to proceed. Votes on the extension, park fee acceptance and reimbursement were recorded as carried on roll-call votes.
