Acceptance of Parcel J Parcel J within this development serves as a paved emergency vehicle access easement (EVAE) between Royal Creek Court and Deer Creek Court. This parcel is 20 feet wide by 68 feet long. Parcel J was shown as an EVAE on the final map for tract 7255 and was accepted with the other offers of dedication on the final map, however, maintenance of the roadway within the EVAE was never determined. It was the developer's intention that EVA roadway would be maintained along with the other streets within the development. Since there is no maintenance association for the subdivision, it only makes sense that the City would accept the roadway maintenance for the EVA. To clarify the maintenance responsibility of the EVAE, the developer is intending to dedicate Parcel J in fee title to the City. City staff believes this request is reasonable and recommends the offer be accepted. The cost to maintain this small stretch of pavement is de minimus. Remaining Bernal Avenue Improvements/Acceptance of $915,000 The core off-site improvements for this project have been accepted by the City with the exception of a portion of the Bernal Avenue improvements. The core improvements included improvements on Valley Avenue, Bernal Avenue, the Valley Avenue Underpass, storm water detention basins, traffic signals, and other infrastructure improvements to serve the Bernal Property development. These improvements were the responsibility of BIC. Development of the Bernal Property requires improvements along Bernal Avenue, including street widening, traffic striping and paving. The construction of a second bridge on Bernal Avenue across the Arroyo de la Laguna is necessary in order to complete these improvements. The second bridge is anticipated to be constructed sometime in the future. At this time, interim improvements on Bernal Avenue have been constructed in order to facilitate traffic for Tract 7255 and the Windsor development located north of Bernal Avenue at Meadowlark Drive. The City has acknowledged that the remaining Bernal Avenue improvements cannot be constructed until such time as the second Bernal Avenue Bridge is constructed and that the date of that construction remains uncertain. BIC has offered the City $915,000 in lieu of BIC's constructing the remaining Bernal Avenue improvements and continuing to have the City hold the surety bonds for that purpose. The City engineering staff has reviewed the list of proposed improvements and believes that the $915,000 will cover the cost of those improvements.
