Cooke, Principal SUBJECT PROJECT/PROJECT DES APPROVED AND FORWARDED TO CITY COUNCIL Jo Jermanis Ci anager epartment ,r ~~ ~~ ~ ~w-~~ f <~ ION: MATTER OF ACCEPTING EASEMENTS AND APPROVING AONE-YEAR EXTENSION TO THE SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENTS FOR TRACT 7579, LOCATED AT 14953, 14969 AND 14981-14985 WASHINGTON AVENUE, SAN LEANDRO; OWNER AND SUBDIVIDER: WASHINGTON/SPRINGLAKE PROPERTIES, LLC SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION Staff has prepared a resolution to accept both an easement for traffic signal construction and maintenance and an easement for utility construction and maintenance across Parcels A, C, and D of Tract 7579, Assessor's Parcel No. 077B-1228-002. A second resolution proposes to extend the subdivision improvement agreements for the subject property by one year. Staff recommends adoption of the resolutions accepting said easements and extending the time of performance of the provisions of the subdivision improvement agreements. BACKGROUND On March 20, 2006 by Resolution No. 2006-028, the City Council approved a final subdivision map and subdivision improvement agreement for Tract 7579; a development project with 43 townhouse units on four parcels. During the course of construction, both the developer and staff discovered that one traffic signal pole and several underground utilities could not be constructed at the locations shown on the improvement plans due to conflicts with other utilities. However, these facilities can be located in the project's common area without impacting function or service, but will require the dedication of additional easements. The developer has installed approximately 95% of the public and private improvements, but has only constructed approximately 50% of the homes. The developer has requested an extension of the time to complete the provisions of the subdivision improvement agreements so that he may construct the remaining homes prior to completion of the required public improvements.
