COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT .
FOR MEETING OF: 11/25/75
ITEM TITLE: Resolution 7958 Granting Extension of Time for Subdivision
Improvement Agreement, Southwestern College
Estates Unit #9
~~
ITEM EXPLANATION
SUBMITTED BY~ Director of Public Works/City Engineer
The City Council, on September 4, 1973, approved the subdivision improvement
agreement for Southwestern College Estates Unit #8 and Unit #9 by Resolution
Nos. 7003 and 7005 respectively.
Paragraph 3 of the agreement states that the subdivider will cause all
necessary materials to be furnished and all improvements required under
the provision of the agreement to be done on or before the first anniversary
date of the recordation of the map. The public improvements within Unit #8
have been completed and the developer has requested a final inspection for
acceptance by the City Council. The subdivider has only performed the
grading for Unit #9 and has not to date installed any of the public
improvements.
The final map for Southwestern College Estates Unit #9 was recorded on
September 12, 1973. Therefore, in accordance with the subdivision improve-
ment agreement, the developer, Allied Contractors, was obligated to install
the improvements in Unit #9 prior to September 12, 1974.
The developer, on October 16, 1975, requested an extension of the subdivision
improvement agreement for Unit #9 for a period of two years. The reason
for the developer's request is that under the present economic conditions
the rate which they have been selling new homes within Unit #8 has declined
considerably. They want to defer the installation of improvements in Unit #9

until it~is economically practical to start the construction of more homes.
The developer has estimated that if their current rate of,buil~ling in
Unit #8 continues, .that the maximum time needed to complete the public
improvements within Unit #9 is two years. Extending the subdivision
improvement agreement for Unit #9 will make September 12, 1976 as the date
that all improvements will have to be completed. The developer will keep
all bonds which he has posted in full force and effect.
As mentioned above, the developer has completed the grading for Unit #9;
however, he has not installed the landscaping and irrigation system upon
the slopes as required by the Chula Vista Municipal Code and in accordance
with the terms of the grading permit. The developer's reasons for a delay
in landscaping the slopes until building is completed are:
1. Landscaping and irrigation systems would be targets of vandalism.
2. Landscaping and irrigation systems would be damaged or destroyed
by building activity.
3. The permanent irrigation systems are designed to be served
individually from each residential lot. The permanent irrigation
systems cannot function until building is completed unless
temporary services and meters are installed prior to completion
of homes and occupancy.
The staff met with the developer on November 7, 1975 to discuss temporary
measures which he can take to control erosion upon the site of Southwestern
College Estates Unit #9. Staff is concerned that upon the acceptance of
the public improvements in Unit #8 that erosion will result in a deposition
of silt and mud upon the streets, which City forces would be required to
maintain. The developer has agreed to take temporary measures to control
erosion, as specified by the City's Landscape Planner. Therefore, I am
recommending that the subdivision improvement agreement for Unit #9 be
extended on the condition that the developer takes proper erosion control
measures within 30 days after approval of this resolution by the City
Council.
A transparency is available for Council viewing.
