Madison Gate Phase 1 - Tract 10385 is a 20 unit (5 single family units and 15 townhome units) subdivision located at the northerly side of Laurel Avenue (see attached site map) west of the Honda car dealership. The development contains private streets, which was delineated in the original Measure C application. The private streets will be built to a City approved standard section and to be maintained by a Home Owners Association (HOA). The developer, Tri Pointe Homes Inc., has completed all the conditions specified by the Planning Commission in the approval of the Tentative Map on June 28, 2016.
The developer has furnished the City with the necessary documents to complete the processing of the Final Map and has made provisions with a title company to provide the City with the required fees, security, and insurance prior to recordation of the Final Map. Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to sign a Subdivision Improvements Agreement on behalf of the City and sign a Stormwater BMP Operation and Maintenance Agreement pending review and approval by the City Attorney.
