BACKGROUND Tract 7431, Ironwood Development (Busch Property), developed by Ponderosa Homes, is a 41 single-family residential lot subdivision. Tract 7431 is located southerly of the intersections of Mohr Avenue and Martin Avenue and Mohr Avenue and Courtney Avenue. Tract 7431 is the fifth of six subdivisions to be accepted that make up the Ironwood Development (Busch Property). Council has previously accepted some of the off-site public improvements required of the development and the on-site improvements required of the development for Tracts 7381, 7429, 7430 and 7432. On-site Improvements (to be accepted) Tract 7431 of the Ponderosa/Busch development constructed five new public streets (Irongate Drive, Irongate Court, Sagewood Court, Sandstone Court, Stone Canyon Court, and an extension of Ledgestone Court) within the boundaries of the tract. In conformance with the conditions of approval of the tentative map, this phase of the development is accessible only from Mohr Avenue; there is no direct connection to other phases of the development other than the emergency vehicle access road located at the end of Irongate Court and Public Service Easement (Parcel C) located at Sagewood Court. This Public Service Easement allows an extension of utilities to the parcel for the potential future site. This phase also includes street improvement work along Mohr Avenue from Nursery Way on the west side to Irongate Drive on the east side. Improvements on Mohr Avenue include street widening along the south side of Mohr Avenue. The storm drain, sanitary sewer, and water systems within the public streets serving these tracts will be maintained and operated by the City. Like other streets within the development, the bioswales along the streets, the planter strip within the limits of the subdivision and along the project frontage at the south side of Mohr Avenue, and the emergency vehicle access driveways, will be maintained by the homeowners' association. Additionally, an eight-foot sidewalk has been constructed along the east side of Irongate Drive and the north side of Mohr Avenue. This is a continuation of the public trail that starts at the southern entrance to the development at Busch Road and continues northerly through the development to Mohr Avenue, connecting with the existing trail along Martin Avenue. This public trail/sidewalk within the project boundary and Mohr Avenue is owned by the City and is maintained by the homeowners' association. Off-site Improvements (to be accepted) As part of this phase of development, Ponderosa Homes has installed curb bulb-outs at the intersections on Mohr Avenue at Martin Avenue and Mohr Avenue at Courtney Avenue narrowing Mohr Avenue at these locations, effecting a measure of traffic calming. Additionally, Ponderosa Homes has paid the City for the installation of four electronic speed indicator signs to be installed at locations determined by the City Traffic Engineer. Page 2 of 3
