Assistant City Manager/Community Development Director Madeline Sturms explained Hawthorn Townhomes are generally located between Martha Miller Drive and Meacham Drive, and it is directly east of the Forge65 Apartments. The final plat was originally submitted to City Council for review and approval on July 11, 2023, via Resolution 071123-02. At that time, the developer requested the final plat be considered prior to the completion of all public improvements to facilitate a transaction of the property and to begin construction of the townhomes and internal site improvements. In accordance with guidance set by City Code Chapter 175: Subdivision Regulations, a performance bond in the estimated amount of the proposed public improvements (sanitary sewer and water mains) was submitted to guarantee their installation or cover the cost of completing the public improvements. Hawthorn Townhomes Plat 2 was then submitted to City Council for review and approval on May 14, 2024, via Resolution 051424-07, which included minor adjustments to the lot widths. At this time, construction of all public improvements required by the plat and the performance bond have been completed and have been accepted by the City. The performance bond may be released after Council approval of the resolution. The City has also received the required maintenance bonds for the new sanitary sewer main and all appurtenances within the subdivision. Although the City is in receipt of the maintenance bond, the term of the bond shall begin on the date of formal acceptance of the public improvements and remain in effect for a period of four years”.
