Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Serrano Village J7 Final Map would create a total of 65 residential lots ranging from 3,600 to 5,813-square-feet in size, five private street lots, and six miscellaneous lots (Exhibit D). The map is based on the Serrano Village J7 Tentative Subdivision Map and Planned Development Permit approved by the Board of Supervisors on February 11, 2020 (Legistar File 19-1714, Item 24) following an appeal of the Planning Commission approval on October 24, 2019 (Legistar File 19-1171, Item 2)(Exhibit E).
As noted in Exhibit G, the Conformance to Conditions Report verifies compliance of the final map with the tentative map conditions of approval. Affected agencies/departments, including County Department of Transportation (DOT), County Surveyor's Office and El Dorado Hills Fire Department, have reviewed, verified compliance with the conditions, and recommended approval of the Final Map.
Improvement Agreements and Bonds: The applicant has submitted an Agreement to Make Subdivision Improvements and bonds pursuant to Section 120.16.050 of the County Code. DOT has reviewed and approved the cost estimates. County Counsel and Risk Management have reviewed and approved the Improvement Agreement and bonds for the Serrano Village J7 subdivision.
For consideration of the Board, Conditions for Acceptance of Drainage Easements and Roads for continued maintenance of these facilities by the applicant has been reviewed and approved by DOT.
Deferred Frontage Improvement Agreement: Condition of Approval #13 involves the coordination of the subdivision improvement with the future realignment of Bass Lake Road. The County and Owner agreed to defer frontage improvements along Bass Lake Road due to the future planned realignment of Bass Lake Road, since the planned realignment is not currently programmed in the County’s 20-year Capital Improvement Program. Pursuant to Resolution 009-2021 adopted by the Board on March 16, 2021 (Legistar 21-0251, Item 13) establishing a Frontage Improvements Deferral Program, the program defines the payment terms associated with the required deferred improvements.
Deferred Road Improvement Agreement: Condition #26 involves the identified intersection improvements at Bass Lake Road and Bridlewood Drive. Compliance with this condition has been verified through execution of a Deferred Road Improvement Agreement between the County and the Owners, Serrano Associates, LLC and Tri Pointe Homes Holdings, Inc. which defines the required payment and refund terms.
Water/Wastewater: The El Dorado Irrigation District has provided a Meter Award Letter confirming that the applicant has acquired the required Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDU’s) for water and wastewater to serve all of the 65 residential lots (Exhibit F).
Environmental Review: The review of the Final Map is a ministerial process and is Statutorily Exempt from environmental review under Section 15268(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
