Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Silver Spring Unit 3 Final Map (TM-F23-0005) would create a total of 47 residential lots and 3 lettered lots (Attachment E, Exhibit C). The Silver Springs Unit 3 Final Map is based on the Silver Springs Tentative Subdivision Map (TM97-1330) originally approved by the Board of Supervisors on December 15, 1998 (Agenda Item No. 82), subsequently modified by the Planning Director through approval of a substantial conformance on May 24, 2009 (Attachment E, Exhibit D), and the Silver Springs Phasing Plan (Attachment E, Exhibit E).
The original expiration of TM97-1330 (Silver Springs) was December 15, 2001.

Approval of the Silver Springs Unit 3 Final Map will extend the life of the tentative map for an additional 48 months, resulting in an expiration date of March 2, 2028 (Gov’t Code Section 66452.6.a.1).
The Conditions of Approval Conformance Verification document (Attachment F) verifies compliance of the final map with the tentative map Conditions of Approval. Affected agencies/departments, including the Department of Transportation (DOT), County Surveyor's Office, and Rescue Fire Department have reviewed and verified compliance with the Conditions of Approval and recommended approval of the Final Map.
Improvement Agreements and Bonds: The applicant has submitted an Agreement to Make Subdivision Improvements (Attachment B) and bonds pursuant to Section 120.16.050 of the County Code.
