ITEM TITLE: Resolution fa/0245f Approving an amendment to the Subdivision
Improvement Agreement for Chula Vista Tract 81-4, Bonita Long
Canyon Estates - Unit 1
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works/City Engineer Q
REVIEWED BY: City Manager g' (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
On April 16, 1985, the Final Map and Subdivision Improvement Agreement for
Bonita Long Canyon Estates - Unit 1 , located at the northwest quadrant of East
"H" Street and Corral Canyon Road, was approved by the City Council by
Resolution 11993. An amended Subdivision Improvement Agreement is now before
the City Council for approval .
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the resolution approving the amendment.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
McMillin Development, Inc. was made responsible for the construction of the
north half of East "H" Street from Otay Lakes Road easterly to Corral Canyon
Road by the Conditions of Approval of the Tentative Map for this project. In
the last few months, McMillin has entered into an agreement with EastLake
Development Company whereby McMillin's contractor will construct the entire
improvements for the 100-foot right-of-way of East "H" Street.
McMillin has requested the City to amend the existing Subdivision Agreement to
separate the offsite improvements within East "H" Street and Otay Lakes Road
from the improvements within the project boundaries. Since construction has
begun on these streets and will be completed shortly, it is believed not
necessary for McMillin to furnish full bonds for the construction. However,
it is necessary for McMillin to furnish three guarantee bonds (15% of
construction costs) guaranteeing the workmanship and materials of East "H"
Street and Otay Lakes Road for a period of one year. The guarantee bond for
the easterly portion of East "H" Street from the westerly boundary of Bonita
Long Canyon to Corral Canyon Road is $79,000. The guarantee bond for the
westerly portion of East "H" Street from Otay Lakes Road to the existing
street improvements is $65,400. The guarantee bond for that portion of Otay
Lakes Road (about 1 ,000 feet long) north of East "H" Street is $19,700. The
sum of the three bonds is $164,100.
The proposed amendment will allow us to accept these offsite im• • -

Council has expressed an interest in opening East "H" Street to public use at
an early date in order to relieve residential streets in the area of
Bonita-Long Canyon of traffic by suppliers and construction workers. The
posting of separate guarantee bonds for the improvements will allow this to be
accomplished.
Staff presently expects the improvements to be completed during the current
week (October 14-18). It should be noted that the acceptance of potential
liability arising from public use of these streets will create no greater
responsibility for the City than does the acceptance of any other public
street.
The difference in this situation is simply that all cleanup work may not have
been completed by the time the street is opened.
Traffic on these streets will be mostly due to existing uses and travel
patterns. Because of this situation, staff believes that the City' s
acceptance of the potential liability associated with use of the facilities is
appropriate.
Council also requested a report on when Rutgers would be constructed between
"H" Street and Gotham. It was felt that project would reduce traffic problems
on Gotham Street. It is my understanding that that road will be constructed,
two lanes wide, and be completed within four to five months. Preliminary
grading plans were approved last week.
Exhibits are available for Council viewing.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
