PS11-00297 FOR STREET IMPROVEMENTS AT 3095 HARBOR BOULEVARD, COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA DATE: DECEMBER 15, 2011 FROM: PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION PRESENTATION BY: ERNESTO MUNOZ, INTERIM DIRECTOR, PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: FARIBA FAZELI, INTERIM CITY ENGINEER, (714) 754- 5335 RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refund cash deposit in connection with Encroachment Permit No. PS11-00297 in the amount of $10,105 to Eleven Western Builders Inc, 2862 Executive Place, Escondido, 92029. BACKGROUND: On June 14, 2010, the Planning Commission approved ZA-10-17 for the construction of a new Sonic Burger. The Engineering Division issued Encroachment Permit No. PS11-00297 to Eleven Western Builders (Contractor) for the construction of street improvements within Harbor Boulevard and Nutmeg Place. The Encroachment Permit allowed the construction of a drive approach, curb and gutter, sidewalk, and curb drains. The cash deposit in the amount of $10,105 was received and accepted by the Public Services Department as a guarantee for the construction of street 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. 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 $10,105 be released and refunded to Eleven Western Builders Inc.
