Body
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
La Maple Partners LLC, a Nevada Limited Liability Company, is the property owner of 1548 and 1552 West Maple Street. The owner recently constructed a 6,214 square foot, two story office building on the 0.6-acre site located in the City’s M-2 (General manufacturing) Zone. The City Council at its meeting on November 20, 2018, entered into public improvement and grading agreements with the property owner to secure the construction of the required public improvements and precise grading to facilitate the development of the site.
ANALYSIS:
The public improvements secured by these agreements have been completed and inspected by City staff to ensure conformity with City specifications. Therefore, the securities can be released to the developer with the following restrictions:
• Twenty-five percent (25%) of the faithful performance security for the public improvements will be retained by the City for a period of one-year. This is to guarantee repair or replacement of the improvements, if any, within the one-year period. Any written claims against the performance security shall be made prior to the one-year guarantee period, which is set to expire on October 20, 2022. City staff will release the faithful performance security one year after acceptance of the improvements by the City Council, pursuant to California Government Code Section 66499.9 (c).
• Retain the labor and material security for a period of six months, in accordance with the State Subdivision Map Act.
The site was precise graded in accordance with all City standards and the approved grading plan. Therefore, the securities posted for the grading and erosion control are allowed to be released to the developer.
The table below shows the securities posted with the City by the owner.
