Hollister Interim City Manager RESOLUTION APPROVING A ONE-YEAR EXTENSION TO THE SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT FOR TRACT 7579 LOCATED AT 14953, 14969 AND 1A~981-14985 WASHINGTON AVENUE, SAN LEANDRO; OWNER AND SUBDIVIDER: WASHINGTON/SPRINGLAKE PROPERTIES, LLC SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION The developer has submitted a request for an extension of time to complete the work required by the subdivision improvement agreement. Staff recommends adoption of a resolution extending the time for performance of the subdivision improvement agreement for another year to December 20, 2009. BACKGROUND On March 20, 2006, by Resolution No. 2006-028, the City Council approved a final subdivision map and improvement agreement for Tract 7579; a development project with forty-three townhouse units on four vacant parcels. On January 22, 2008, by Resolution No. 2008-005, the City Council extended the improvement agreement until December 20, 2008. The developer has installed approximately 95% of the public and private improvements, but has only constructed the first phase of homes (twenty units). The developer requests an extension of the time of performance per the subdivision improvement agreement so that he may complete the improvements. Analysis The developer planned to build the remaining homes prior to completion of the improvements, but the market for new homes remains depressed and the second phase of home construction has not started. This extension will allow the developer additional time in which to construct the improvements.
