Discussion:
The River Valley Business Park Development Agreement between the City and Opus Development Company, L.L.C. (Developer) includes provisions requiring construction of public improvements consistent with the adopted West End Industrial Site Traffic Impact Study, dated June 28, 2022. The improvements are described as the Plan B Improvements and include:
- Colburn Drive Extension, which consists of extending Colburn Drive north connecting to Mobile Manner Drive and construction of a permanent cul-de-sac removing the connection to Emery Way/Old Brick Yard Road.
- Intersection improvements (roundabout) at County Highway 69
Consistent with the Development Agreement, the City is responsible for the design and construction of the Plan B Improvements. The Developer is responsible for paying $150,000 for the design of the Plan B Improvements and $675,000 for construction.
The intersection improvements at County Highway 69 are not programmed in the City's Capital Improvement Plan and are subject to Scott County approval and development of adjacent properties east of County Highway 69.
Construction of the Colburn Drive Extension must be completed in 2024 to support the development of and access for the River Valley Business Park subdivision.
