BACKGROUND Tract 7433, Ironwood Development (Busch Property), developed by Ponderosa Homes, is a 19 single-family residential lot subdivision. Tract 7433 is located north of Busch Road, east of Kamp Drive and south of Mohr Avenue. Tract 7433 is the last 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, 7031, and 7432. On-site Improvements (to be accepted) Tract 7433 of the Ponderosa/Busch development included the construction of one new public street (Baur 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 Busch Road. The storm drain, sanitary sewer, and water systems within the public street serving this tract will be maintained and operated by the City. Like other streets within the development, the planter strip within the limits of the subdivision will be maintained by the homeowners' association. DISCUSSION Ponderosa Homes' engineers have designed all the required off-site improvements connected with Ironwood Development. However, for various reasons, three of the required improvements have not been installed. These off- site improvements are listed below: • Construction of a westbound to northbound free right turn lane at the intersection of Stanley Boulevard and Valley Avenue; • Construction of a secondary entrance to the City Operations Services Center (OSC) on the north side of the facility; and • The westbound approach on Bernal Avenue to be widened at its intersection with First Street to accommodate a double left turn. Ponderosa Homes has posted a separate bond with the City to cover the cost of installing these improvements, excepting the last improvement (Bernal Avenue at First Street) which Council has asked Ponderosa Homes to delay. Ponderosa Homes will be completing the other two improvements with their Ironwood Active Adult development. This development is proposed for the site which was originally held in reserve for a school on the east side of the Ironwood development. It is anticipated that this development will be constructed in the spring of next year. Page 2 of 3
