BACKGROUND:
The Engineering Division issued Encroachment Permit No. PS15-01016 to (Contractor) for street
improvements at 2880 Mesa Verde Drive East. The Encroachment Permit allowed for the
construction of curb & gutter, sidewalk, wheelchair ramps and the installation of utility
connections. The cash deposit in the amount of $17,707.04 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 $17,707.04 be released to
Pinnacle Residential (Developer).
