A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE
IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT FOR REYNOLDS RANCH
BUFFER TRAI L IMPROVEMENTS
==================== ======= ============================ =================
WHEREAS, the Reynolds Ranch development includes a buffer trail system as part of
the open space planning in the master plans; and
WHEREAS, the proposed buffer trail consists of a 14-foot wide paved bike/pedestrian
path, benches, path lights, shrubs and trees, and other miscellaneous improvements; and
WHEREAS, the buffer trail improvement is part of the condition of approval for the
Rubicon Apartments project; and
WHEREAS, Skinner Ranch Holdings, L.P. (Developer), agrees to enter into a Public
lmprovement Agreement for the construction of the buffer trail fronting the project boundary; and
WHEREAS, a standard improvement agreement requires the public improvement be
accepted by the City prior to occupancy of the buildings; and
WHEREAS, Developer has requested an exception to allow occupancy of the apartment
buildings prior to the buffer trail improvement acceptance to expedite occupancy, and staff feels
this is a reasonable request because the delay in accepting the buffer trail improvements does
not pose any public safety issues; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to
execute an lmprovement Agreement with Developer for Reynolds Ranch Buffer Trail
lmprovements, thus allowing the exception referenced above.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE lT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize the City Manager to execute an lmprovement Agreement with Skinner Ranch
Holdings, L.P., for Reynolds Ranch BufferTrail lmprovements; and
BE lT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council hereby authorizes an exception,
