Background:
The Promontory is a 999 acre AKT Promontory LLC residential development located in El Dorado HIlls, California, south of Green Valley Road and adjacent to Sacramento County. On June 24, 1999, the El Dorado County Planning Commission approved the following Condition/Mitigation regarding TM 98-1356 - The Promontory.
"ROADS - Item #2. Russell Ranch Road shall be constructed to an improved (total) interim width of 40' (two-lane roadway), consistent with the alignment and structural section of the ultimate facility. Construction from Green Valley Road to H3 Street shall occur with the first phase. Construction from H3 Street to E5 Street shall occur with any subsequent phase in Village Nos. 1, 3 or 5."
Reason for Recommendation:
At present, Sophia Parkway (formerly known as Russell Ranch Road) extends from The Promontory in El Dorado HIlls to connect with Empire Ranch Road within Empire Ranch in Folsom, California. The first phase of work on Sophia Parkway extended from Green Valley Road to the southerly boundary of The Promontory Village No. 1 and was associated with construction of The Promontory Collector Roads and Village No. 1.
With oversight from staff in the Department's Engineering Division and the Right-of-Way and Construction Units, Wood Rodgers Engineering, Inc. designed and Veerkamp General Engineers, Inc. constructed the road improvements along Sophia Parkway from Station 54 + 48.52 to 115 + 00 (from the southerly boundary of The Promontory Village No. 1 to a point 6051.48 feet south) as shown on the Improvement Plans for Sophia Parkway Extension.
At this time, the road improvements for Sophia Parkway Extension have been substantially completed according to the plans, specifications and conditions of the following Agreements:
1. The Promontory Specific Plan Development Agreement dated March 17, 1998.
2. The Promontory Specific Plan Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Program dated August 28, 1997.
3. Acquisition and Disclosure Agreement County of El Dorado Communities Facilities District No. 2001-1 (Promontory Specific Plan) dated February 26, 2002, formed under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982.
Sophia Parkway Extension, as shown in Irrevocable Offer of Dedication No. 2005-02, Resolution No. 052-2005, dated March 8, 2005, shall be accepted into the County Maintained Mileage System by separate Resolution. It should be noted that only those roadway sections within El Dorado County are being accepted. It is the Department's intention to enter into a Maintenance Agreement with the City of Folsom to establish a single boundary of maintenance responsiblity. Upon mutual concurrence relative to the terms, this Maintenance Agreement will be brought to your Board for approval.
Due to the large volume of the above referenced Agreements, the Department has elected to provide hard copies to the Clerk of the Board for public viewing.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
The Clerk of the Board will return an executed copy of the Resolution to the Department.
