BACKGROUND:
The Engineering Division issued Encroachment Permit No. PS14-00149 to (Contractor) for street
improvements at 1259 Victoria Street. The Encroachment Permit allowed for the construction of
a drive approach, curb & gutter, sidewalk and the installation of utility connections. The cash
deposit in the amount of $15,322.40 was received and accepted by the Public Services
Department as a guarantee for the construction of street improvements and utility connections.
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. The 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 $15,322.40 be released to
Pinnacle Residential (Developer).
