AUGUST 17, 1983
/ Council was apprised that at the last regular Planning
Commission meeting, on August 8, 1983, AIr. Howard Arnatz
asked the Planning Commission to approve a Parcel Map which
did not include the required cul-de-sac at the north end of
Awani Drive. The Planning Commission indicated to Mr.
Arnaiz that they could take no action unless the City
Council changed their position on the need for the
cul-de-sac and officially abandoned the public right-of-way.
j� /• A letter from the Sanguinetti a Arnaiz Development Company,
Inc., requesting the City Council to abandon the unimproved
public right-of-way located at the north end of Awani Drive
was presented for Council's perusal. Awani Drive is located
In the Mokelunne Village subdivision.
The uninproved cul-de-sac rijfit-of-way fronts the City's old
dumpsite (SOL) which was purchased by Howard Arnaiz in July
1982. A copy of the bidding documents which clearly
indicates on page 3 that the new owner of the property
(Howard Arnaiz) is responsible for the completion of the
cul-de-sac at the end of Avant Drive was presented for
Council's perusal. Mr. Arnaiz's bid transmittal indicating
that his bid is being submitted in accordance with the
conditions contained in the bidding docunent was also
presented. Also presented was a copy of the plot plan that
went with the bidding documents to show the bidders the
exact parcel which they were acquiring and that the parcel
did not include the future cul-de-sac right-of-way. It is
felt that there is no question that W. Arnaiz purchased the
City property knowing full well that he would have to
construct a standard City cul-de-sac at the end of Awani
Drive. It was made very clear to all parties bidding on
the City's SCL that it would be their responsibility to
construct the cul-de-sac inprovements. If the Council now
changes that requirement, then there is a real question
whether that is fair to the other bidder. The estimated
cost of the improvements is approximately $15,000. If this
change was made prior to the bidding, it certainly appears
that the bids the City received may have been $15,000
higher.
