City Surveyor, CARDOSO, asked if the storm drain lines and the basin would maintained by the HOA or still be maintained by the City. Jim XU explained the storm drain facilities would still be maintained by the Community Facilities District (CFD). Senior Planner NELSON agreed that had been the determination during earlier discussions. City Surveyor, CARDOSO asked that a Finding be added to the resolution to reflect that the storm drain facilities would be maintained by the CFD.
City Surveyor CARDOSO explained that the process to vacate the streets would be difficult due to the fact that there is already a final map recorded on the property creating the lots and providing an easement over the streets to the City rather than being dedicated in fee. There was discussion on different methods to use to achieve the vacation, but there were drawbacks with each method discussed.
The Commission, with agreement from the applicant, determined it would be best if this item was tabled and brought back before the Site Plan Review Committee at a later date once the method for vacating the streets has been determined.
M/S McBRIDE-FRAZIER, and carried by the following vote, to Table Site Plan Review Application #504:
