BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION The area is generally located north of Main Street, between Hilltop Drive and I-80S in a neighborhood known as Woodlawn Park. The Parcel Map (see Exhibit I) has been reviewed by the Engineering and General Services Department, and found to be in substantial conformance with the approved Tentative Parcel Map Waiver. The Sycamore Estates project realigned the southerly portion of Sycamore Drive including the cul-de-sac (see Exhibit 2). This street realignment is consistent with the approved Tentative Map, and approved Tentative Parcel Map Waiver. Tentative Map No. 04-09 for Sycamore Estates Condition No. 10 requires Developer to process the vacation of the excess right-of-way on Sycamore Drive due to the realignment 0 fthe cul- de-sac. In satisfaction of this condition, the Developer has submitted the subject Parcel Map. The street realignment results in the need to vacate excess right-of-way as well as adjust property lines of three adjacent single-family parcels. This excess right-of-way vacation and property line adjustments are all proposed within the Parcel Map and presented to Council for approval tonight. The three adjacent property owners affected by the street realignment are satisfied with the resulting new property lines and frontage improvements and have signed the Parcel Map. Approval of this map also constitutes acceptance of the 5.5-foot street tree planting and maintenance easement, and the sewer and access easement, within the Parcel Map. The Parcel Map for Sycamore Estates is now before Council for consideration and approval (see Exhibit 2). The Parcel Map for Sycamore Estates consists of 4 numbered lots (3 single-family residential lots, and I fee owned parcel owned by the City of Chula Vista), totaling a gross area of 1.175 acres.
