RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Refund cash deposit in connection with Encroachment Permit No. PS11-00511 in the amount of
$11,843 to Dannielle Schmidt, 201 North Star Lane, Newport Beach, California 92660.
BACKGROUND:
The Engineering Division issued Encroachment Permit No. PS11-00511 to A Tolarce
Construction (Contractor) for the construction of street improvements within Sunset Drive. The
Encroachment Permit allowed the construction of two drive approaches, curb and gutter, and
sidewalk. The cash deposit in the amount of $11,843 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 $11,843 be
released and refunded to Dannielle Schmidt.
