BACKGROUND: The Engineering Division issued Encroachment Permit No. PS16-00216 to Mike Kilbride Ltd (Contractor) for parkway improvements at 2366 Orange Avenue. The Encroachment Permit allowed for the reconstruction of two (2) drive approaches, curb & gutter, and sidewalk. The cash deposit in the amount of $18,330 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 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. However, this would be in violation of Costa Mesa Municipal Code Section 15-32(b), "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." 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 $18,330 be released and refunded to 2366 Orange LLC (Developer).
