HomeMy WebLinkAbout10-17-2017 Item 05 - Acceptance of Subdivision Improvements for Tract 2707 (953 Orcutt, TR 151-03) Meeting Date: 10/17/2017 FROM: Michael Codron, Community Development Director Prepared By: Diane Dostalek, Senior Civil Engineer SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF SUBDIV ISION IMPROVEMENTS FOR TRACT 2707 (953 ORCUTT ROAD, TR 151-03) RECOMMENDATION Adopt a resolution accepting the public improvements, certifying completion of the required private subdivision improvements, and authorizing release of securities for Tract 2707 at 953 Orcutt Road. DISCUSSION Background The tentative subdivision map for Tract 2707 (TR 151-03) was approved by City Council on November 15, 2005, by Resolution No. 9748 (2005 Series), which authorized creation of a 23-lot subdivision for the purpose of creating 178 residential condominium units. (See Attachment A for vicinity map and Attachment B for site plan.) The final map was approved by City Council on September 18, 2007, by Resolution No. 9928 (2007 Series). The project was initially referred to as Tumbling Waters, then Laurel Creek, and most recently Avivo. The subdivider was required to construct frontage improvements on Orcutt Road along the adjacent property to the west. That adjacent property is commonly referred to as the Creekston property. Those frontage improvements were accepted by the Council on June 1, 2010. The subdivider was also required to extend Sacramento Drive to Orcutt Road and construct frontage improvements along Orcutt Road. Those improvements were accepted by Council on January 17, 2012. Remaining Subdivision Improvements The remaining subdivision improvements for Tract 2707 that have not yet been accepted or certified complete by Council are the on-site improvements on the east and west side of Sacramento Drive. These improvements mostly consist of private improvements which will be maintained by the Homeowner’s Association, such as driveways, hardscape, drainage improvements, sewer main, and sewer laterals. The only on-site improvements that are public are the water main and water services. Accepting the Public Improvements and Certifying Completion of Private Improvements The subdivider has requested final acceptance of the Tract 2707 subdivision improvements by the City and release of the underlying securities for such improvements. The Subdivision Agreement authorizes release of the Faithful Performance and Labor & Materials securities upon Council’s acceptance of the subdivision improvements and receipt of a guarantee of ten percent of the cost of the subdivision improvements. The ten-percent guarantee is to insure that the subdivider will remedy any defects in the improvements arising from faulty workmanship or materials or defective construction of said improvements for a period of one year. There are some minor punch-list items that still need to be completed, so the ten percent warranty will also Packet Pg 185 5 function as a faithful performance security to guarantee the completion of these remaining items. A draft resolution Accepting and Certifying Completion of the Subdivision Improvements is attached (Attachment C). This resolution authorizes the Public Works Director to release the faithful performance securities, and, once the one-year warranty period has passed and the remaining punch-list items are complete to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, to release the warranty securities. Ninety days after Council’s acceptance of improvements, the Labor & Materials bonds can be released per Civil Code Section 8412. CONCURRENCES The Public Works Department and Utilities Department concur with the recommended action. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The necessary findings and environmental review requirements related to the development of Tract 2707 were made with the tentative map approval. Therefore, no further environmental review is required. FISCAL IMPACT These remaining public improvements for Tract 2707 will result in a minimal increase in maintenance costs for the water main and water services. ALTERNATIVES Do not accept the public improvements or certify completion of the private improvements for Tract 2707. If some of the required subdivision improvements for Tract 2707 have not been completed, then Council can continue this item until such time as the improvements have been completed to the satisfaction of the City. Staff does not recommend this alternative because the subdivision improvements for Tract 2707 have been completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, or sufficient securities are in place to guarantee completion of the remaining minor items.
