REPORT NARRATIVE:
The Butterfield Retirement Apartments project is a two lot development located on the west side of Butterfield Boulevard just north of Barrett Avenue (see attached site map). The developer, Community Development Partners, has completed all the conditions specified by the Community Development Department in the approval of the Tentative Map on January 29, 2015. The Parcel Map is ready to record; however, prior to its recordation the City Council needs to approve the abandonment of an existing street easement that encumbers both lots on the Map. The street easement has never been used for its intended purposes and is no longer needed now that Butterfield Boulevard has been extended through this area of the City. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Clerk to sign the abandonment statement on the Parcel Map. It is also recommended that the City Council authorize the recordation of the Parcel Map and for the City Manager to sign a Stormwater BMP Operation and Maintenance Agreement pending review and approval by the City Attorney.
