(Council District 4, Council Member Castillo) SUBDIVIDER CENTEX HOMES, a Nevada General Partnership David Hatch, President REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL Final Map of Tract No. 4993 June 29, 2004 Page 2 LAND USE & ZONING Medium-Low density residential; R-1/UGM (single-family residential/Urban Growth Management) zoning to become effective upon recording of the Final Map pursuant to Rezone Application No. 94-03. PLAN CONSISTENCY The project is consistent with the Medium-Low density residential land use designation of the McLane Community Plan. COMPLIANCE WITH The Final Map conforms to all requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and SUBDIVISION MAP ACT local subdivision ordinances applicable to the conditions of approval of Vesting AND LOCAL Tentative Map No. 4646/UGM 534; the completion of all public improvement ORDINANCES requirements have been guaranteed and applicable fees paid. BACKGROUND Tentative Map Approval: The Fresno City Planning Commission on April 6, 1994 adopted Resolution No. 10596 approving Vesting Tentative Map No. 4646/UGM 534 (Tentative Map) for a 214-lot single-family residential subdivision, to be developed at an overall density of 4.6 units per acre. Minor Tentative Map revisions were approved by the Planning and Development Director on January 24,2001 in accordance with FMC§12-1005.2(b)(3),to remove Outlot A, originally offered for a will site, but not required by Public Utilities Water Division, and to increase the number of lots by one to 215 lots. The project remains consistent with the Medium-Low density plan designation of the McLane Community Plan. A second minor Tentative Map revisions were approved by the Planning and Development Director on April 2,2001 to correctly show the boundary of the tentative map along the north side of the subdivision and reduce the street right-of- way for East Hampton Way from 56 to 50 feet between North Fowler and North Armstrong Avenues. The original map filed with the City indicated that the Gould Canal bordering the tentative map to the north whose centerline is the city limits with the City of Clovis, was not part of the map and owned in fee by the Fresno Irrigation District. The Fresno Irrigation District has determined that the canal is within a prescriptive easement and the ownership, in fee, of the south half of the canal is vested with owner of the reminder of the subdivision site. The revision shows the Gould Canal as a right-of-way of approximately 50 feet from the center of the canal also the City limits and extends the proposed lot lines the center of the canal. The reduction of street right-of-way will provide additional lot depth to compensate for the increased canal right-of-way. The project would remain consistent with the Medium-Low density residential plan designation shown for the site on the McLane Community Plan. The approval of the Tentative Map remains effective until April 6, 2005. Subdivision Agreement, Securities, Fees & Covenants: The Subdivider has executed the Subdivision Agreement and has posted securities in the amount of$721,000 for performance and$360,500 for labor and materials to guarantee the installation of the required public improvements. The Subdivider has paid cash in the amount of$135,861.00 for applicable fees and has entered into a covenant to defer the payment of certain sewerconnection charges,water connection charges, Urban Growth Management fees and developmentfees in the amount of$263,138.56 to the time of issuance of Certificates of Occupancy. The Subdivider has also entered into covenants providing for special solid waste disposal services for certain lots; providing for sanitary sewer capacity in the Fowler Avenue Trunk Sewer and deferring payment of interim fee surety to the time of issuance of certificate of occupancy and creation of lien; planting and maintaining front yard trees and landscape maintenance. REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL Final Map of Tract No. 4993 June 29, 2004 Page 3 The subdivision documents, securities and resolutions have been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney's office. Landscape Area Maintenance: A condition of approval of the Tentative Map is to install and maintain the landscaping and irrigation system in the 10-feet wide landscape easements of all lots that side-on and back- onto North Armstrong Avenue.
