Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On March 22, 2016 (Item 28), the Board adopted Resolution 047-2016 approving the Green Valley Convenience Center Project (Project). The development required construction of a raised median on Green Valley Road to restrict left turns, a signal pole relocation at the southeast corner of Green Valley Road/Sophia Parkway intersection, and widening on the southern portion of Green Valley Road adjacent to the project. A portion of Sophia Parkway was required to be slurry-sealed and a portion of Green Valley Road resurfaced, with installation of pavement markers and restriping included as part of the Project.
On July 18, 2017 (Item 20), the Board approved the Offsite Road Improvement Agreement (RIA) for the Project, with Cameron Park Petroleum, Inc. (Developer). The RIA defined the obligations of the Developer for the performance of the work within the County Right of Way.
The road improvements for the Project have been inspected by the Department of Transportation (Transportation) and were found to be complete in accordance with the approved plans, specifications and requirements of the RIA.
ALTERNATIVES
None; when the Owner/Developer completes all improvements and the County inspects and approves those improvements, the County is then obligated to approve reduction of the Bonds, if necessary, and initiate the warranty period.
