Reduction of Security for Tract Map No. 16808-1 through 7 Recommendation:
That the Honorable City Council:
(1) Approve an 80-percent release of the Street Faithful Performance Security for Tract Map No.16808-1 through 7; and
(2) Accept the completed Street Public Improvements.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
Strategic Plan Goal:
This item aligns with Goal E, Invest in Infrastructure, of the City of Victorville Strategic Plan 2023–2026. Although this is not a Capital Improvement Project, the City applies the same strategy to private development projects, as they are essential in meeting the community's needs.
Background:
Tract Map No. 16808-1 through 7 (hereinafter “Tract 16808”) comprise a 241-lot, singlefamily residential subdivision located at the southeast corner of Nyack Road and Mesa View Drive. The tract was only partially developed due to a prior economic downturn, leaving certain required public improvements incomplete. On September 7, 2021, the City entered into a Subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA), secured by improvement bonds, with Richmond American Homes of Maryland, Inc. (“Developer”) to secure completion of the outstanding public improvements for Phases 1 through 7. The Conditions of Approval require the Developer to complete various infrastructure improvements, including water, drainage, sewer, streets, and monumentation. Since entering into the SIA, the Developer has made significant progress towards completing the required improvement and development of Tract 16808.
Discussion:
The developer has satisfied the Conditions of Approval and successfully completed the requirements associated with the street improvements for Tract 16808-1 through 7.
Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council accept the completed street improvements and approve an 80-percent reduction of the original Street Faithful Performance Security, in accordance with Section 19 of the SIA and applicable provisions of Victorville Municipal Code (VMC) Sections 17.64.060(b)(3) and 17.64.070. Following the 80-percent reduction, the remaining 20-percent of the original Faithful Performance Security will be retained as warranty security for the one-year warranty period, consistent with Section 19 of the SIA and VMC Sections 17.64.060(b)(3) and 17.64.070(4), to guarantee improvements against defective work, labor, or materials.
Staff is available for any questions Council may have.
