This staff report asks the City Council to approve the agreements and security for the public improvements, landscape improvements, and survey monumentation for Parcel Map 36667 (PM 36667). The applicant is ready to record PM 36667 at the county recorder office and is required to post security on the required public improvements and the survey monumentation and enter into a public improvement agreement with the city before the recordation of the parcel map. The recordation of the parcel map will establish four parcels for the construction of single-family homes.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the Landscape Improvements, Public Improvements, and Survey Monumentation agreements between the City and Poppyseed, LLC, a California limited liability company.

PM 36667 subdivides 1.60 acres into four parcels for the development of four singlefamily residential homes and two letter lots for the street and improvements associated with the subdivision.
PM 36667 was approved by the Planning and Housing on November 13, 2018, and subsequently approved by the City Council on December 10, 2018.

According to the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act, the developer will also enter into an agreement for the survey monumentation and post sufficient securities to guarantee the placement of all survey monuments and improvements required by PM 36667.
