SUMMARY:
The developer has submitted a Property Tax Clearance Certification in accordance with Government Code Section 66492 and a Parcel Map Guarantee in accordance with Government Code Section 66465 of the Subdivision Map Act and has met all the conditions of approval required for clearance prior to recording the Parcel Map. The Parcel Map is in substantial compliance with the approved Tentative Map.
DISCUSSION:
On February 9, 2012 the Minor Subdivision Committee approved a Minor Subdivision Tentative Map to allow the subdivision of a 160 acre parcel into four 40-acre parcels. The property is at 50403 Martinez Road, Lockwood (Assessor's Parcel Number 423-041-018-000), in South County Area Plan area.
Staff has verified that the applicant has met all project conditions of approval required prior to recording the Parcel Map. The Inclusionary Housing in lieu fee of $13,770.00 and the Parks Recreation in lieu fee of $391.50 has been paid. The Traffic Impact Fee (TAMC) will be collected when development is proposed on new parcels.
The developer also will, by today's action, enter into an agreement to construct improvements for the subdivision, in accordance with the County's Subdivision Ordinance, and to satisfy conditions of approval. The developer is required to improve the private roads in accordance with the requirements of the local fire jurisdiction, implement erosion control measures, and underground the utility facilities for the subdivision. For this project, the standard requirements of the subdivision improvement agreement have been modified to better reflect the amount of improvements required for the subdivision. Section 18 (d), "Professional liability insurance" has been modified from the County standard subdivision improvement agreement to not less than $250,000 per claim and $500,000 in the aggregate rather than the traditional amount of not less than $1,000,000 per claim and $3,000,000 in the aggregate, to cover liability for malpractice or errors or omissions made in the course of rendering professional services. Due to the extent and cost of improvement for this subdivision, RMA-Public Works recommends accepting these modified amounts of insurance as sufficient. The required subdivision improvement cost is $54,050 including $26,250 of underground electrical work performed by the utility company contractor. Therefore, staff recommends that the Board approve the Saul Victor and Maria D. Villanueva Parcel Map for recording with the County Recorder.
