RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Refund the cash deposit in connection with Encroachment Permit No. PS14-00696 in the amount
of $23,235 to Miner Partners LLC, 20201 SW Birch Street, Suite 100, Newport Beach, CA 92660.
BACKGROUND:
The Engineering Division issued Encroachment Permit No. PS14-00696 to Pacific Standard Inc.
(Contractor) for parkway improvements at 2183 Miner Street. The Encroachment Permit allowed
for the reconstruction of a drive approach, curb and gutter, sidewalk, storm drain connection, and
utilities installation. The cash deposit in the amount of $23,235 was received and accepted by the
Public Services Department as a guarantee for the construction of parkway improvements.
ANALYSIS:
All Conditions of Approval for the project and the Encroachment Permit have been met, and the
work has been completed and accepted by the Public Services Department.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
The alternative to this Council action would be to retain the cash deposit. Costa Mesa Municipal
Code Section 15-32(b) states, "The condition of said bond (or cash deposit) shall be that the
applicant will perform the work authorized by any permit issued pursuant to this chapter in a good
and workmanlike manner and to the satisfaction of the City Engineer." These conditions have
been met; therefore, retention of the cash deposit would be in violation of the Municipal Code.
FISCAL REVIEW:
There is no fiscal impact to the City relative to this item.
LEGAL REVIEW:
There is no legal review required relative to this item.
CONCLUSION:
All of the required conditions of the Encroachment Permit have been completed by the contractor.
Therefore, staff recommends that the cash deposit in the amount of $23,235 be released and
refunded to Miner Partners LLC (Developer).
