Background:
Tract Map No. 17316 (referred to as Tract 17316) is a 36-lot, single-family subdivision located at the northeast corner of Ottawa Street and Arrowhead Drive. On January 18, 2022, the City entered into a Subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA), secured by improvement bonds, with Richmond American Homes, of Maryland Inc., a Maryland Corporation, to develop the tract. The conditions of approval for the tract required the developer to complete various infrastructure components, including Water, Sewer, Drainage, Landscaping Maintenance Assessment District (LMAD), Street and Monumentation Improvements.
