AGENDA REPORT
ITEM 10-L.
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Director
DATE: May 28, 2003 (CC meeting of 06/04/03)
SUBJECT: Consider an Early Grading Permit for Tentative Tract Map
No. 5307 for the Approved 25 -Lot Single - Family Residential
Subdivision Located at the Northwest Corner of Millard
Street and Los Angeles Avenue, on the Application of
Colmer Development Company
BACKGROUND /DISCUSSION
This tentative tract map was amended by the City Council at it
November 11, 2002, meeting to add three affordable housing lots near
Millard Street. A condition of the tentative tract map required
that the applicant sign an Affordable Housing Agreement with the
Moorpark Redevelopment Agency prior to recordation of the Final Map.
The applicant is ready to proceed with the grading of the project,
but negotiations relative to the Affordable Housing Agreement are
not yet complete.
The applicant has posted all of the required bonds for the
improvements required by the conditions of approval and the Final
Map is ready for consideration of approval by the City Council, but
awaits the completion of the Affordable Housing Agreement. The
conditions of approval did not include the allowance of an Early
Grading Permit since it is the City's practice to allow Early
Grading Permits in conjunction with Development Agreements.
The standard language from the City's Development Agreement for an
Early Grading Permit is as follows:
The City Manager is authorized to sign an early grading
agreement on behalf of City to allow rough grading of
the Project prior to City Council approval of a final
subdivision map. Said early grading agreement shall be
consistent with the conditions of approval for Tract

No. — and RPD and contingent on City Engineer and
Director of Community Development acceptance of a
Performance Bond in a form and amount satisfactory to
them to guarantee implementation of the erosion control
plan and completion of the rough grading and
construction of on -site and off -site improvements. In
the case of failure to comply with the terms and
conditions of the early grading agreement, the City
Council may by resolution declare the surety forfeited.
This project is adjacent to Flory Elementary School and city staff
is concerned with potential conflicts with school activity during
grading. We are close to the summer vacation when school will be
out of session and grading can occur. The Affordable Housing
Agreement may take some weeks to complete thus delaying Council
approval of the Final Map until some time in August.
STAFF RECOMONDATION
Authorize the City Manager to sign an Early Grading Agreement
subject to his final language approval.
