Department Name: Community Development Cost Center: 4003 For Agenda of: October 20, 2020 Placement: Consent Estimated Time: N/A FROM: Michael Codron, Director of Community Development Prepared By: Dan Van Beveren, Senior Civil Engineer SUBJECT: FINAL ACCEPTANCE OF A PORTION OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FOR TRACT 3083 - A RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION AT 1299 ORCUTT ROAD (WEST CREEK) RECOMMENDATION Adopt a Resolution accepting a portion of the public improvements for Tract 3083; certifying completion of a portion of the required subdivision improvements; releasing the securities for the accepted portions of Tract 3083; and authorizing the Director of Public Works to accept the remaining public improvements, then release the remaining securities once the impr ovements are deemed complete (Attachment A). DISCUSSION Background Tract 3083 (West Creek) is located within the Orcutt Area Specific Plan area (Attachment B). West Creek consists of the creation of 77 lots which include the following: 1. 67 single family lots. 2. One large multi-family development lot. 3. Six lots used as neighborhood linear parks, private open space, public utilities, and pedestrian access. 4. One small central neighborhood playground lot. 5. Two lots used for stormwater retention and treatment. Partial Acceptance of a Portion of West Creek Improvements Work has been completed for most of the West Creek improvements including a new roundabout on Orcutt Road, three new public streets including Ranch House Road, Noveno Avenue, and Cerro Cabrillo Lane, offsite sewer line upgrades, and offsite water main extension and upgrade. A map depicting these completed improvements is included as Attachment C. In general, the West Creek improvements consist of street construction, street widening, medians, curb, gutter, sidewalks, Class 1 multi-use paths, streetlights, water main and sewer main extensions, fire hydrants, reclaimed water main, storm drain improvements, and landscaping. Item 6 Packet Page 31 The draft resolution accepts the completion of a portion of the r equired improvements, reduces the securities for the work that is completed, authorizes the Public Works Director to accept the remaining public improvements once they are deemed complete, and to release the remaining securities on behalf of the City Council once the work is completed. Currently, the only remaining items not yet completed are the final grading and landscaping of the stormwater retention basis (underway at the time this report was written), a few minor punch list items, and the submittal of the final record drawings. Previous Council Action The final map for Tract 3083 was approved by City Council on September 18, 2018, by Resolution No. 10939 (2018 Series). The tentative subdivision map for Tract 3083 was approved by City Council on May 17 , 2016, by Resolution No. 10715 (2016 Series). Policy Context The City Council accepts public improvements and certifies completion of private improvements in accordance with the Subdivision Map Act and the City’s Subdivision Regulations. Public Engagement Public Engagement was completed with the approval of the Tentative Map and the development of the Orcutt Area Specific Plan. CONCURRENCE The Public Works Director and the Utilities Director concur with the recommended action. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW There is no environmental review associated with the acceptance of these improvements. Prior Environmental review consisted of the review of the Orcutt Area Specific Plan and its Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) in March 2010. Subsequent environmental review included the West Creek Vesting Tentative Tract Map #3083, which tiered off the 2010 FEIR, and was analyzed in a project-specific Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration approved in 2017. FISCAL IMPACT Budgeted: No Budget Year: N/A Funding Identified: No Item 6 Packet Page 32 Fiscal Analysis: Funding Sources Total Budget Available Current Funding Request Remaining Balance Annual Ongoing Cost General Fund N/A State Federal Fees Other: Total Typical maintenance and operation of newly accepted public facilities will be required for the street and utility improvements. Increasing the maintenance budget for the small, incremental increase in infrastructure to be maintained does not occur with each acceptance of public facilities. The maintenance budget for the improvements is evaluated and included as needed in the City’s two-year Financial Plan and capital improvement plan budget. Council action accepting these improvements, however, in itself does not require an immediate budget adjustment. ALTERNATIVES Limited alternatives exist only regarding the timing of the acceptance of these improvements. Ultimately, acceptance of the public improvements is required in accordance with the OASP, Tentative Map approvals, Department of Real Estate process assumptions, and Homeowners Association CC&R’s.
