Subject Parcel Map No. 2000-8 — 242 Orchard Avenue Engineering File No. 805-02 Recommendation Adopt a resolution approving Parce� Map No. 2000-8, authorizing the execution of a subdivision agreement, vacating a portion of Orchard Avenue, accepting dedication of Orchard Avenue and a 5' wide Tree Planting Easement. Background On March 9, 2000, the Subdivision Committee approved an application for a new subdivision. The property, located at 242 Orchard Avenue, is being subdivided into four (4) lots by Jon E. Pierog and Patricia M. Lucas. The subdividers have requested that a 7' wide portion of Orchard Avenue right-of-way fronting their property be vacated, and in return they will dedicate a 2.5'-wide strip of right-of-way fronting their property and a 5'-wide tree planting easement to the City. This one small section of Orchard Avenue has a wider right-of-way than the remainder, due to past expectations that Orchard Avenue may be widened. Orchard Avenue is not expected to ever be widened. The "abandonment" will not affect the current street width or sidewalk area. This transaction will permit the developer to subdivide his property into four (4) lots, with each lot size being 5,000 square feet. City staff concurs with this proposal. Luzuriaga Taylor, Inc., have completed the Improvement Plans and the Parcel Map in accordance with the Conditions of Approval, Subdivision Map Act, Redwood City Ordinances, and to the satisfaction of Engineering & Construction. Therefore, the Parcel Map is ready to be recorded. The subdividers will provide the City with a Certificate of Deposit in the Amount of $32,000.00 for Faithful Performance, and Labor & Materials bonds, prior to recordation of the Parcel Map A complete copy of the Subdivision Agreement is available for review in the City Clerk's Office. _ _ . ._. _ . r ..__ .. _ _,, _ _.T .
