BACKGROUND On August 24, 2016, the Planning Commission recommended City Council approve applications by Catalyst Development Partners, LLC for a development project proposed on three contiguous Tots: 536 and 550 St. John Street and the vacant, non - addressed lot east of 536 St. John Street (APN 94-122-19). The applications were for: • Rezoning approval of the three lots. • Planned Unit Development (PUD -120) approval to retain and relocate the existing historic single-family home on the project site and construct 10 two-story townhomes and associated site improvements. • Vesting Tentative Map approval to subdivide the three lots into 11 residential lots and one common lot. On October 4, 2016, the City Council approved the: • Rezoning of 536 and 550 St. John Street and the vacant lot east of 550 St. John Street. • PUD -120 and adopted Ordinance No. 2151. • Vesting Tentative Map and adopted Resolution No. 16-16885. In November of 2016, KN St. John LP purchased the site from Catalyst Development Partners, LLC. The developer has submitted the required agreements, Final Map, Improvement Plans, and other legal documents for Tract 8326. Engineering and Planning staff and the City Attorney's Office have reviewed these documents and have found them to be in substantial compliance with the approved PUD -120 and Vesting Tentative Map. Additionally, the developer has paid development fees and submitted security bonds (performance and labor and material bonds) as provided for in the subdivision agreement. DISCUSSION Proposed Improvements and Maintenance Responsibility As shown on Attachment 2, the development proposes a new private street (Wise Way). The private street, bio-swales for stormwater treatment, and private utilities (including storm drain systems within the private street) will be maintained by a homeowners association specifically created for this development. The development proposes to construct a public sanitary sewer main within the private street (in a dedicated public easement) to serve the 11 single-family home Tots. The sanitary sewer main will be owned and maintained by the City. Additionally, the development proposes to install separate water meters and service laterals to serve all 11 lots. The water meters will be installed within the existing public right of way on St. John Street. The service laterals serving Lots 1-6 will be located within the new private street and in a private utility easement; the service laterals serving Lots 7-11 will be located within the respective lots.
