Resolution 658 - Part 2 - White Hawk Estates
the development reaches build out of approximately 50% of the units. If the City andlor the development community have reached an agreement for the full improvement of Beebe Road prior to the half-way build out, the developer will not be responsible for constructing the bicycle/pedestrian path. A draft Development Agreement is attached. The Public Works Department recommends that the improvements be installed with development instead of the formation of a Local Improvement District which could take some time to get enough property owners to form. Condifior~s of Approval 1. Ri ht-of wa Dedication: The Developer shall dedicate twenty feet of frontage of Gebhard Road and ten feet on Beebe Road for widening of the roads to Collector standards. 2. Gebhard and Beebe Road Im rovements: Developer will be responsible for constructing curb, gutter, and sidewalk and additional paving width to Gebhard Road for the subject property, per the drawing submitted by CES/NW. The developer will be responsible for constructing the road to the `interim' level. The Developer will be eligible for some SDC reimbursement for the upsizing portion of the road improvement. 3. Street right=of--ways: The developer is proposing all public streets within the development. The Public Works Director approved a street detail to the standards and specifications that accommodates Munici- pal Code Section I2.36.100.D regarding street trees {See Attached Detail) for a standard residential street with aright-of--way of fifty-five feet. The developer may keep the road standard they have pro- posed or reduce the size of the right-of--way to the attached drawing. The developer has an alley im- provement width of twenty-four feet. Public Works Standard and Specifications has a standard alley of twenty feet. The developer may choose to use the proposed right-of--way width or reduce the ally width to twenty feet. 4. Open Space: The developer is proposing open space for the Planned Unit Development that is consis- tent with the City's Transit Oriented Development requirements for open space dedication. The open space areas will be approximately 27,930 square feet per open space area plus an additional I,400 square feet for a walking path connecting Gebhard Road to the proposed development. The Public Works Department is requesting that a Home Owners Association be formed to maintain the areas. If the Developer wishes to dedicate these areas to the City of Central Point the parks must be fully con- structed with an irrigation system and an approved and installed landscape plan. Additionally, the de- veloper shall maintain the areas for two years prior to the City taking over maintenance responsibility. 5.

All street trees shall be irrigated with an auto- matic underground irrigation system. The current site plan does not indicate trees planted at 2Q-40 feet on center.

The Department will listen to the developer's concerns and-work with the developer to achieve the best outcome. However, the Department is not obligated to assure a profitable Bevelopment and will not sacrifice quality for the sole purpose of reducing cost to the developer. It is always the developer's obligation to provide the public improvements necessary, as determined by the Public Works Department, to serve the development. The Department and the developer also have an obligation to assure that public facilities are constructed so that other properties are not adversely impacted by the development.
