Approve the Addendum to the Improvement Agreement for the Public Improvements of Tienda Place, Tract No. 3141, and direct the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the Addendum to the Improvement Agreement on behalf of the City. 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the Agreement for Maintenance of Landscape Area within State Highway Right of Way, State Route 12 in the City of Lodi with Caltrans, and a Maintenance Agreement with the developer covering developer's responsibilities for landscape improvements in the Kettleman Lane right of way. 3. Appropriate funds for applicable reimbursements. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The final map and improvement agreement for the Tienda Place, Unit No. 1 subdivision were approved by Council on October 17, 2001. The subdivision is located north of Kettleman Lane and west of and adjacent to the Woodbridge Irrigation District (WID) canal, as shown on Exhibit A. Subdivision improvements include the installation of frontage improvements, including landscaping and irrigation along Kettleman Lane, and the extension of Tienda Drive to Lakeshore Drive. The scope of work for those improvements has changed since the Improvement Agreement was executed and an Addendum to the Improvement Agreement has been prepared to address the additional engineering plan check and inspection fees, improvement security, reimbursements and additional agreements necessitated by those changes. Kettleman Lane Street Improvements The Tienda Place development is being constructed in two phases, Unit No. 1 and Unit No. 2. Both units include street frontage improvements along Kettleman Lane. Since Kettleman Lane is a State highway, the installation of street improvements requires a Caltrans encroachment permit. In order to expedite the Caltrans encroachment permit process, the developer has elected to include the Kettleman Lane frontage APPROVED: -- City Manager CIAADDETC 07!29/02 Adopt Resolution Approving the Addendum to the Improvement Agreement for the Public Improvements of Tienda Place, Unit No. 1, Tract No. 3141; Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Amendment to the Agreement for Maintenance of Landscape Area Within State Highway 12 Right of Way with Caltrans, and a Maintenance Agreement with the Developer for Landscape Improvements in the Kettleman Lane Right of Way; and Appropriating Funds for Applicable Reimbursements August 7, 2002 Page 2 improvements along the Tienda Place, Unit No. 2 frontage as part of the Unit No. 1 project. The developer is entitled to reimbursement for excess width street improvements on Kettleman Lane in conformance with LMC §16.40, Reimbursements for Construction. Reimbursement to the developer for excess width street pavement improvements along the Kettleman Lane frontage of Unit No. 1 was previously approved by Council on October 17, 2001. However, no funds were appropriated at that time because the actual costs were not known. Since the scope of work on Kettleman Lane has changed, the developer is now entitled to reimbursement for excess width street frontage improvements along the Unit No. 2 frontage as well. Staff recommends that the Council approve reimbursement to the developer for all excess width street frontage improvements on Kettleman Lane ($33,541.20) and appropriate the required funds. Kettleman Lane Landscape and Irrigation Improvements Private landscaping and irrigation improvements are to be installed on Lot "B", a common area adjacent to the Kettleman Lane frontage of the development (Exhibit B). The landscape improvements on Lot "B" are to be maintained by a homeowner's association to be established for the subdivision. Since the existing WID canal crossing at the east project boundary of Unit No. 2 is not being widened as a part of the Tienda Place development, the curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements along the frontage of Unit No. 2 transition from the ultimate right of way to the existing canal crossing improvements (Exhibit B), creating an unimproved area in the Kettleman Lane right-of-way between Lot "B" and the back of sidewalk. In order to prevent the area from becoming a nuisance with respect to weeds, dust, erosion, etc., the terms of the Addendum to the Improvement Agreement require the developer to incorporate the installation and maintenance of landscape and irrigation improvements for this area into the improvements for Lot "B". The installation of landscape and irrigation improvements in the unimproved area of Kettleman Lane requires a Caltrans encroachment permit and maintenance agreement. Caltrans will not issue encroachment permits or enter into agreements with private parties for this type of work. Since the City has an existing maintenance agreement with Caltrans, Agreement for Maintenance of Landscape Area Within State Highway Right of Way, State Route 12 in the City of Lodi (Exhibit C), approved by Council in December 2001 in conjunction with the Kettleman Lane median project, staff requests that Council approve the following actions: 1. A Caltrans encroachment permit for landscape and irrigation improvements in the Kettleman Lane right-of-way being installed with the Tienda Place project shall be obtained by the City. 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the above-mentioned Caltrans maintenance agreement to include maintenance of those improvements. 3. Authorize the City Manager to execute a maintenance agreement with the developer covering developer's maintenance responsibilities for the landscape and irrigation improvements in the Kettleman Lane right of way. Tienda Drive Street Improvements The tentative map conditions set forth in Resolution P.C. 99-23, adopted by the Planning Commission on June 23, 1999, state that the developer shall install street improvements (street paving only) and extend public utilities in the Tienda Drive alignment through the adjacent properties to the west (APN 031-040-09 CIAADDETC Adopt Resolution Approving the Addendum to the Improvement Agreement for the Public Improvements of Tienda Place, Unit No. 1, Tract No. 3141; Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Amendment to the Agreement for Maintenance of Landscape Area Within State Highway 12 Right of Way with Caltrans, and a Maintenance Agreement with the Developer for Landscape Improvements in the Kettleman Lane Right of Way; and Appropriating Funds for Applicable Reimbursements August 7, 2002 Page 3 and APN 031-040-16) as shown on Exhibit A. The resolution further states that the developer shall pay one-half of the street improvement costs. The resolution is silent as to payment for the remaining one-half of the street improvements, but the minutes for the Planning Commission meeting indicate that City Council approval would be sought for reimbursement to the developer by the City for those costs. Provisions for reimbursement for this work were inadvertently omitted from the original Improvement Agreement and Council approval for the reimbursement is being requested at this time. During the past few months, the developer has acquired an interest in the most westerly parcel (APN 031-040-16) along the Tienda Drive alignment and has elected to install full street frontage improvements, including curb, gutter and sidewalk, along that parcel as part of the Tienda Place development. Due to that circumstance, staff feels that no portion of the improvements along that parcel frontage should be subject to reimbursement by the City, and the developer concurs. The installation of those improvements, however, leaves only one parcel (APN 031-040-09) along the entire Tienda Drive alignment without curb -to -curb street improvements. Staff feels that, in the interest of public safety and to provide for orderly development, curb and gutter improvements need to be installed along with the street paving on the balance of the Tienda Drive alignment through parcel APN 031-040-09. Staff, therefore, recommends that the Council approve reimbursement to the developer by the City for the curb and gutter improvements and one-half the street pavement improvements ($21,578.37) through that parcel, and appropriate the required funds. Staff will return to Council at a later date to establish a benefit area to recover the cost of those improvements when the parcel develops.
