Subdivision
yr!
(4/5ths Vote: Yes___ No~)
SUBMITTED BY:
City Engineer
Morgan-Gardner has completed the public improvements for Morgan-Gardner
subdivision except for driveway approaches and service roads for Lot
58. An agreement has been prepared deferring certain improvements not
constructed and guaranteeing the construction of them pending approval
of a proposed condominium subdivision map. It is my
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt resolution accepting the public
improvements for Morgan-Gardner Subdivision and approving the agreement
for completion of certain improvements on Lot 58.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
On July 31, 1980, City Engineering staff made a final inspection of the
public improvements in Morgan-Gardner Subdivision. On August 8, 1980,
a letter was prepared outlining deficiencies to be corrected prior to
our recommending acceptance of the improvements by the City Council.
All requirements except for certain improvements on Lot 58 have been
completed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. A maintenance bond
in the amount of $48,300.00 has been posted with the City to guarantee
the public improvements, as to material and workmanship, for one year
after acceptance by the Council.
At the time of construction of the curbs and sidewalk adjacent to Lot
58 on-Flower Street, the developer chose not to install driveway
approaches to City sewer and drainage easements crossing Lot 58, and
the paved service roads within the easements as required on the
improvement plans. The reason for not installing the improvements in
Lot 58 is that Morgan-Gardner is proposing a resubdivision of Lot 57
and 58 for condominiums and the developer' does not want to install
improvements that will be removed if the condominium project is
approved.
On September 23, 1980, City Council approved the tentati~e.map for
Gateway Townhouses consisting of two lots and 2?9.condomlnlums. The
final map is presently being processed. A condltlon of approval of the
final subdivision map will be for the developer to provide an all
weather access to the sewer and drainage facility in Lot 58.
The attached agreement provides that in the event the Gateway
Townhouses are not constructed, Morgan-Gardner .will construct the
driveways as required and pave service roads to the sewer and drainage
facilities.. Morgan-Gardner also agrees to be responsible for

maintaining access within the easements. A faithful performance bond
in the amount of $11,500 and a material and labor bond in the amount of
$5,750.00 has been posted as surety as a guarantee of construction.
I believe that the City's interest is protected by the agreement.
Also, by requiring a developer to install improvements that will be
removed soon, is an unnecessary hardship.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
