BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Tract No. 20394 (Tract) will create 45 new single-family residential lots. The recommended actions will accept and approve the Final Map of the Tract, as well as the necessary securities and agreements.
The required sewer and water improvements and property corners (final monuments) as well as the required road and drainage improvements for the Tract, as shown on the Street Improvement Plans for Tract Map No. 20394, have not been completed. The project developer, Richmond American Homes of Maryland, Inc., a Maryland corporation (Developer), is required to construct and maintain water and sewer improvements, road and drainage improvements, and install final property monuments as required by the California Subdivision Map Act, the San Bernardino County General Plan, and the County Code. The Developer must enter into Construction and Maintenance Agreements for the water, sewer, road, and drainage improvements, as well as a Road and Drainage Agreement for maintenance of improvements to furnish the equipment, labor, and material necessary to maintain and repair said improvements for a period of 12 months.
The tax bond guarantees the payment of all taxes and special assessments, which is a lien against any part of this subdivision, however, not yet payable. The monumentation bond guarantees that all final property monuments will be installed as specified in the project’s Final Map.
The recommended improvement securities and agreements will ensure the warranty of the required development infrastructure for the project pursuant to the California Subdivision Map Act, the San Bernardino County General Plan, and the County Code.
With the approval of the securities and agreements, all conditions of the Planning Commission, County Code, and state law for the Tract will be in place to be met. Board approval is required to accept the Final Map of the Tract and the securities and agreements pursuant to Government Code sections 66458, 66462, 66496, and 66499 and Chapters 87.01 and 87.07 of the County Code. Water and sewer services for the Tract will be provided by the Monte Vista Water District.
These actions align with the County and the Chief Executive Officer’s goals and objectives to ensure development of a well-planned, balanced, and sustainable County by providing new residential lots within the County that are served by proper road, drainage, water, and sewage improvements.
