Re: Adoption of Resolution Approving the Final Map and Bond, Authorizing Execution of Subdivision Improvement Agreement and Accepting Dedications and Easements for Tract 8118 (Marina Shores)(PW #310)
BACKGROUND
On January 2, 2013, the City Council approved Tentative Map Tract 8118 per City of Alameda Resolution No 14760. The Final Map provides for 53 lots, 89-unit subdivision on a 7.14-acre property located at 1551 Buena Vista Avenue. The Final Map also includes dedication of Stanton Street, Sakas Street, and Entrance Road as public streets, and public easements for utilities. The Final Map (Exhibit 1) is on file in the Public Works Department.
DISCUSSION
The Final Map has been reviewed and determined to be technically correct and in substantial conformance with the approved tentative map, conditions of approval, and mitigation measures. The tract infrastructure includes sanitary sewer and storm drain lines, sidewalk, curb, gutter, street pavement, and landscaping. The Homeowners Association will maintain the private infrastructure and the City will maintain the public infrastructure.
The Alameda Municipal Code requires the subdivider to enter into a Subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA) with the City and post bonds guaranteeing the subdivision improvements. The performance bond guaranteeing the public improvements is $2,268,701 and the labor and materials bond is $2,268,701. The performance bond guaranteeing the landscaping and irrigation improvements is $88,556, and the labor and materials bond is $88,556. The City Attorney has reviewed and approved as to form the agreement and bonds. The Agreement (Exhibit 2) is on file with the City Clerk.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund since all of the tract improvements will be constructed by the subdivider and maintained by the homeowner's association.
MUNICIPAL CODE/POLICY DOCUMENT CROSS REFERENCE
This action does not affect the Municipal Code.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This application was the subject of an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration circulated for a 30-day review period concluding on October 8, 2012 for a 69-unit residential development. The City also prepared an Addendum to analyze the proposed 89-unit residential development. The Addendum concluded that no new impacts were identified with the additional 20 residential units. All potentially significant impacts can be reduced to a less than significant level with the proposed Mitigation Measures. A Mitigation Monitoring program will be required to ensure these Mitigation Measures are implemented.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving the final map and bond, authorize execution of the SIA and accept the dedications and easements for Tract 8118 (Marina Shores).
