IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES: The estimated value of the public improvements for Tract 3079 is $1.9 million. Maintenance of the new public improvements will add to the overall costs of the City infrastructure maintenance program. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the City Council adopt a Resolution accepting public improvements and easements for Tract 3079, located at Rodeo Court. BACKGROUND: Tract 3079 is included in a project that involved amending the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code to allow additional residential units located within the Royal Oaks Planned Development (PD) and subdividing 7.52-acre project site into seven (7) residential lots ranging in size from 0.58 to 1.32 acres. The property is bounded by Rodeo Drive to the south and Grace Lane to the east. The City Council approved Development Code Amendment 17-001, Vesting Tentative Tract Map 16-001 (Tract 3079) and a Mitigated Negative Declaration for a 7-lot residential subdivision on May 9, 2017. As a condition of approval of the tentative tract map, the applicant was required to construct a number of public improvements. The engineer of work for the project estimated the cost of the improvements for this project as $1.9 million. Improvements constructed included utility connections, water and sewer mains, two (2) new fire hydrants, a new public residential street (Rodeo Court), two (2) new ADA compliant Item 8.h. - Page 1 CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS AND EASEMENTS FOR TRACT 3079 LOCATED AT RODEO COURT JANUARY 26, 2021 PAGE 2 ramps, curbs, gutters, drive approaches, sidewalks, striping, and signage within and surrounding the development. The project also completed concrete and asphalt repairs and replacement on Rodeo Drive and Grace Lane. ANALYSIS OF ISSUES: Improvement plans for the project were issued on September 26, 2019. The improvements were completed by the developer on January 18, 2021, and “as-built” plans were approved on January 11, 2021. Required post-construction operation and maintenance agreements have been executed and are currently being recorded. The developer is providing the necessary 10% warranty bond to be held for one year from the time of acceptance. This begins the one-year maintenance period during which the developer will be responsible for maintenance and repair of the public improvements. After the one-year maintenance period, the City will take over the maintenance of the public improvements. ALTERNATIVES: The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration: 1. Approve staff’s recommendation; 2. Do not approve staff’s recommendation; 3. Modify as appropriate and approve staff’s recommendation; or 4. Provide other direction to staff. ADVANTAGES: By accepting the public improvements, the City will have ownership of facilities in the public right of way and within the easements. The project will provide the community with residential infill and seven (7) new home sites for housing opportunities. DISADVANTAGES: No disadvantages have been identified. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for this project and was adopted by Council on May 9, 2017. No further CEQA action is required. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS: The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with Government Code Section 54954.2. Attachment: 1.
