SUMMARY

The Final Map for Tract No. 2008 (Foxrun Unit 2) is ready to file.

DISCUSSION

Tract No 2008 is a 24-lot subdivision on the west side of Locust Street in Cottonwood. On June 11, 2015, the Planning Commission approved the tentative map.

The developer was conditioned to form a permanent road division (PRD) to maintain roads within the subdivision. All of the subdivision lots are presently owned by the developer. They have petitioned the Board to form and activate the PRD. The proposed annual parcel charge is $206 per lot. Proposition 218 requires a public hearing and a vote of the affected property owners. The owner has executed a Consent and Waiver to Assess Annual Parcel Charge document. The owner has thus consented to waive any and all entitlement to notice of a public hearing and the right to protest the proposed annual parcel charge. The developer has constructed all required improvements. They request approval of the final map. Adoption of the attached resolutions and execution of the attached agreement will fulfill all approval requirements for the development. Staff recommends that the Board approve the final map for filing.

ALTERNATIVES

State law requires the filing of the final map when all conditions of the tentative map have been met or bonded for. The Board may decline to form the PRD. The Board may then elect to have these maintenance costs borne by the County Road fund, or decline to have them maintained altogether.

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT

The conditions of approval were established by the Planning Commission. County Counsel has approved the petitions, agreement, resolutions, and consent and waiver document as to form. The recommendation has been reviewed by the County Administrative Office.

FINANCING

All subdivision activity is fee supported. There is no General Fund impact.
