HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - December 16, 1998 (75)AGENDA TITLE: Approve Final Map and Improvement Agreement for Towne Ranch, Unit No. 7,
Tract No. 2880
MEETING DATE: December 16, 1998
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council take the following action with regard to the
Towne Ranch, Unit No. 7 development:
1. Approve the final map for Towne Ranch, Unit No. 7, Tract No. 2880, and direct the City Manager and
City Clerk to execute the Improvement Agreement and map on behalf of the City.
2. Appropriate $2,769.10 for payment for oversize water mains.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The subdivision is located east of the Woodbridge Irrigation District
canal, south of Turner Road and west of the Towne Ranch, Unit No. 5
development as shown on Exhibit A. The development consists of 64
single-family residential lots.
Towne Ranch Associates, developers of the Towne Ranch, Unit No. 7 subdivision, have fumished the
City with the improvement plans, necessary agreements, guarantees, insurance certificates, and a
portion of the fees for the proposed subdivision. The Development Impact Mitigation Fees for water,
wastewater, street, and storm drain facilities have not been paid.
The developers have requested that the impact fees normally collected prior to map approval by the
Council be paid at the close of the escrow established for the loan to fund the development. Staff feels
this is a reasonable arrangement to facilitate the project and recommends Council approve the payment
of impact fees through the escrow. Staff will issue a demand for payment and instruct the title company
that the map may not be filed until monies for the payment of the impact fees have been deposited in
escrow. The Agreement provides for payment within 60 days; after that, interest will be charged.
The developer will receive credits against fees for oversize master plan water mains to be constructed
with the Towne Ranch development in conformance with LMC §16.40, Reimbursements for Construction.
Tumer Road Landscaaina and Irrigation Svste
On February 14, 1995, Council modified the conditions of approval placed on the tentative map by the
Planning Commission regarding landscaping and irrigation along the reverse frontage fence on
Turner Road. The modified conditions required that the developer pay a tree planting fee and fence
maintenance fee and that the City pay for the balance of the landscaping and irrigation system and
assume responsibility for future maintenance.
APPROVED:
H. Di n Flynn -- City Manager

The developer has paid the tree planting fee and fence maintenance fee as required. The developer is
to provide plans for the landscaping and irrigation system to the approval of the Public Works Director.
The plans are not yet complete. Payment for the City -funded portion of the landscaping and irrigation
system will be handled under the terms of an addendum to the Improvement Agreement which staff will
present to Council for approval when the plans are complete and the actual costs are known.
Turner Road Improvements and Reconstruction
Street widening improvements, including striping, on Turner Road were required as part of the
Towne Ranch, Unit No. 5, and Bridgetowne, Unit No. 1 projects. Since repairs to the existing pavement
in Turner Road between the Woodbridge Irrigation District canal and Lower Sacramento Road were
included in the Pavement Maintenance Program for 1996, and since underground utilities were to be
installed in Turner Road with the Towne Ranch and Bridgetowne projects, the scheduled repair work for
the existing roadway fronting those projects was also included in the plans for those developments. The
responsibility for the Towne Ranch, Unit No. 5 portion of the repair work was subsequently transferred to
the Bridgetowne, Unit No. 1 project under the terms of an addendum to the Improvement Agreement for
the Bridgetowne development approved by Council on May 7, 1997. Due to construction delays with the
Bridgetowne project, the required Turner Road pavement work has not been completed.
In order to expedite the completion of the Turner Road street widening and repairs and preserve the
structural integrity of the street section, the work previously to be done with the Bridgetowne
development has been included as part of the Towne Ranch, Unit No. 7 project. The approximate limits
of the work are shown on Exhibit B. Reimbursement for the City -funded portion of the work, and
distribution of reimbursement credits previously applied to the Bridgetowne development for their portion
of the work, will be handled under the terms of addenda to the improvement agreements for the
Towne Ranch, Unit No. 7, and Bridgetowne, Unit No. 1 projects which will be presented to Council for
approval when the actual costs have been ascertained.
