BACKGROUND Tract 7381, Ironwood Development (Busch Property), developed by Ponderosa Homes, consists of 193 single-family residential lots, a 23-acre future school site, a 5.7-acre Presbyterian Church site, a 172-unit senior apartment site, a 2.5-acre private park, a portion of the Iron Horse Trail, associated streets, and other infrastructure improvements which support all the proposed uses on approximately 92.51 acres. Tract 7381 is located on Busch Road, east of Kamp Drive and south of Mohr Avenue. Tract 7381 was the first of five subdivisions that make up the Ironwood Development (Busch Property), and being the first tract to receive approval, contains all the off-site public improvements required of the development. In September of last year, the majority of the off-site improvements connected with the Ironwood Development were accepted for normal maintenance. There are three off-site improvements yet to be accepted by Council. These improvements include: • Construction of a free westbound to northbound right turn lane at the intersection of Valley-Stanley-Bernal; • Widening of the westbound approach at the intersection of Bernal-First- Sunol to allow for a triple left turn; • Construction of the Iron Horse Trail between Busch and Mohr. DISCUSSION The Iron Horse Trail between Santa Rita Road and Busch Road was constructed in two phases, with Phase I being that portion of the trail between Santa Rita Road and Mohr Avenue being the City's obligation, and the Phase II portion of the trail between Mohr Avenue and Busch Road being the obligation of Ponderosa Homes. In December of 2006, the City Council accepted Phase I of the Iron Horse Trail. Since that time, the Phase II portion of the Iron Horse Trail improvement has been completed and the improvements are ready for formal acceptance. The streetscape (landscaping and irrigation) along the north side of Valley Avenue adjacent to the Iron Horse Trail will be maintained by the HOA. The developer has posted the required one-year warranty bond for these improvements. Submitted by: Rob Wilson Public Works Director Fiscal Review: -~._ David P.
