DAVIDSON—Last Tuesday Davidson town council gave the developer of East Sellers Crescent another year to complete servicing of the proposed subdivision.

Morsky Industrial Services Inc. of Regina has until April 30, 2013 to complete the servicing of the 18-house residential development.

The new subdivision has been in the works since 2009, but little progress has since been made.

Town administrator Gary Edom said council agreed to amend the original service agreement to give Morsky more time to install the services.

He said the lots were re-staked and that Morsky is working on getting SaskTel and SaskPower to install the ground services on the outside of the proposed development.

Besides giving an extension, the servicing agreement amendment also contains other provisions including:

• council agreed to forego the $500 per day penalty to date per Morsky’s request, but it will take effect again May 1, 2013 if progress has not been made;

• council supported paving the road after 75 per cent of the lots are developed or two years from the date of the first house being built to ensure builders and residents that the road will be paved in a timely manner;

• Morsky will undertake an aggressive renewed marketing plan;

• the amount of performance bonding, or letter of credit, is adjusted to $90,000; and

• Morsky will give favourable consideration to builders in order to get initial house construction started.

All previous provisions in the original service agreement apply to construction and development standards remain in place.
