IV. BACKGROUND
The Colony Cove Mobilehome Park has 404 existing mobile home units on a 52.54-acre site located at 17700 Avalon Boulevard. Parcel Map No. 67049 allowed for the conversion of an existing rental mobilehome park to resident ownership; and allowed an additional 21 mobile home spaces. The conversion allowed each existing household the option to either purchase the condominium or subdivision unit, or to continue residency as a tenant.
At this time, Colony Cove has complied with the conditions of approval of the Final Parcel Map. The developer has completed all the requirements related to offsite improvements according to City policy, and is requesting the release of the Faithful Performance Bond, and the Labor and Material Bond, for the required improvements in the public right of way, in the amount of $69,062.50 each.
City Public Works Construction Inspectors have inspected and approved the completion of the required improvements within the public right-of-way; such as driveways, sidewalk, and curb and gutter along the abutting streets of the Colony Cove site.
Engineering Services Division staff has reviewed and deemed the off-site improvements complete and recommends release of said Surety Bonds for the completed work.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
