AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Daniel Kim, City Engineer/Public Works Director
DATE: 06/19/2024 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider a Resolution Exonerating a Cash Deposit for the Grading
and Improvements at Mountain Meadows Butter Creek Estates
Homeowners Association (Mountain Meadows Wall)
BACKGROUND
Staff issued Grading Permit 264G for grading and improvements associated with the
replacement and reconstruction of approximately 1,100 linear feet of damaged sections
of a retaining wall along the southside of Mountain Meadows Drive, between Chestnut
Ridge Street and Walnut Creek Road. The retaining wall structure is located along the
toe of fill slopes that ascend to the backside of existing residential, single-family lots
within the Mountain Meadows Butter Creek Estates Homeowners Association.
As part of permit issuance, a surety is required to ensure that the improvements, as
shown on Moorpark Drawing No. 15-ML-11033, are completed in accordance with the
Plans and Specifications. In lieu of a surety bond, the homeowners association
provided a cash deposit with the City in the amount of $100,000.00.
DISCUSSION
The grading and improvements were constructed and accepted by City staff on
February 24, 2021. On March 17, 2021, as part of the City’s acceptance and a warranty
period of one-year for the improvements, the City Council reduced the cash deposit to
ten percent to the amount of $10,000. The Parks and Recreation Director has
confirmed that the landscape improvements are in substantial compliance with the
landscape architectural plans and are complete. On May 20, 2024, the retaining wall
permit was finalized by the Building Official. The improvements have performed beyond
the one-year warranty period and staff recommends that the following cash deposit be
exonerated:
