Hearing Notice APPROVED BY: LJM
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a Resolution Ordering the Improvement and the

2019-07.
BACKGROUND
On November 19, 2013, the City Council received the Feasibility Report for public improvements
related to the Bella Vista development. One of the roads identified in the report was Autumn Path.
Autumn Path’s alignment is proposed to weave between the Bella Vista property and the
neighboring property (PID 34-02200-25-010). The neighboring property has not dedicated needed
right-of-way therefore Autumn Path extension has not yet been constructed. As a result, the
developer does not have access to the future Bella Vista 7th Addition until Autumn Path is
constructed.
On June 4, 2019, the City Council approved the final plat for Caramore Crossing on the neighboring
property (PID 34-02200-25-010). A condition of approval for this plat is the dedication of a
roadway, drainage and utility easement to allow construction of Autumn Path to the northern
property line. The Caramore Crossing developer, DR Horton, intends to plat and dedicate the
easement in spring of 2020. In order to begin construction of Autumn Path in early spring/summer
of 2020, the design work would be scheduled for winter 2019.
On November 4th, 2019 the Council received an update of the Feasibility Report for Autumn Path.
The report found this project, as proposed, to be feasible, cost effective, and necessary. At that
meeting, the Council called for a public hearing on this project to take place December 3rd, 2019.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
The Autumn Path Improvement Project, City Project 2019-07, would consist of construction of a
42-foot wide asphalt collector roadway with curb and gutter. Pedestrian facilities will include trail
and sidewalk on each side of the road. Storm pipe will be constructed to ponds within the Bella
Vista development. Watermain will be installed the full length of the road along with some sanitary
sewer.
