BACKGROUND On February 17, 2009, the City Council approved PUD-74, an application by Ponderosa Homes to construct 110 single-family detached tract homes for residents aged fifty-five years and older. The approved development is located at the former 1 Reimers Drive, which is east of the Ironwood Development, west of the Legacy property, and south of the Zone 7 access road to the Chain of Lakes. The site is 23 acres and is shown on the attached vicinity map. On April 15, 2009, the Planning Commission approved Vesting Tentative Map 8004 to subdivide the 23-acre site into the approved 110 lots. The developer elected to develop the project in four phases. Phase 1 (Tract 8004) constructed three lots for model homes, Phase 2 (Tract 8023) constructed forty single family homes, Phase 3 (Tract 8064) constructed thirty-two single family homes, and Phase 4 (Tract 8103) included the final thirty-five single family homes. Phases 1 through 3 have all been accepted as complete by the City Council. Phase 4 is now complete and the City Engineer recommends that the final phase be accepted as complete. DISCUSSION Improvements Tract 8103 has constructed all private streets including extensions of Chatham Place and Newport Street, and construction of Chatham Court and Denton Court. All the streets, street lights, and storm drain systems within the development are private and will be maintained by the Home Owners Association (HOA). Upon acceptance of the public improvements for this project, the sanitary sewer main and the water main systems within the development will be maintained and operated by the City. Retaining Walls/ Sound Walls The CC&Rs provide that the HOA maintains the retaining walls and sound walls, which were constructed along the project perimeter, and the property owners maintain the interior surface of the sound walls that are located on their respective properties. Trail Connection An eight-foot wide unpaved trail has been constructed on Zone 7 property per the license agreement between the City and Zone 7. The developer, Ponderosa Homes, is providing temporary irrigation for trees and shrubs per the approved plans until the plants are established. Staff has reviewed the conditions of approval of the Vesting Tentative Map and finds that all public improvements and conditions related to the 110 lots have been satisfied. Page 2 of 3
