IN THE NAME AND BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF MONTICELLO, IOWA
RESOLUTION #18-146
Resolution to approve Policy related to N. Sycamore Street Reconstruction Driveway Improvements
WHEREAS, The City Council previously determined that all driveways found to be non-compliant with the City Code along the N. Sycamore Street Reconstruction project should be brought to code during the course of the project or within one year of project completion, and
WHEREAS, The Code requires permanent dust free pavement for driveways, not gravel, and there are a number of gravel driveways within the scope of the N. Sycamore Street project, and
WHEREAS, The Council received input from a number of residents that were not supportive of being required to pave their gravel driveways and after further consideration the Council agreed that the paving of existing gravel driveways should be voluntary, and
WHEREAS, The Council finds that the “North Sycamore Street Driveway Improvement Policy” shall require that all driveway approaches be paved as part of the N. Sycamore Street project and that property owners with non-compliant driveways shall be given the opportunity, but not required, to have their driveways paved as part of this project with the costs of said pavement being assessed over a period of ten (10) years like the curb and gutter, sidewalk, and driveway approaches.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Monticello, Iowa does hereby approve of the N. Sycamore Street Reconstruction Driveway Improvement Policy as set forth within the body of this Resolution.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal of the City of Monticello, Iowa to be affixed hereto. Done this 17th Day of December, 2018.
Brian Wolken, Mayor
