comply with all of the developer obligations that were specified in the approved Development
Agreement and the Economic Development Agreement for this development. The Final Plat for
Granada Phase I consists of 41 residential lots plus 2 lots, one of which is for the private streets
and the other is for the pedestrian access/landscape buffer. Note: Phase II Granada has been
preliminarily platted (but not final platted) and contains 43 residential lots. The infrastructure
for Phase II will be built at a later date as determined by the Developer.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat for Granada Phase I subject to the developer
complying with all the terms and conditions of the Granada Development Agreement
(Resolution 13-25) and the Granada Economic Development Agreement (Resolution 13-09).
Compliance with the terms and conditions of the Granada Development Agreement and
Economic Development agreement includes the requirement for payment of all financial
assurances, prior to the filing of this final plat with the county. These financial assurances are
for :
a.) any unfinished on-site infrastructure improvements (for entire Granada)
b.) any off-site infrastructure improvements (for entire Granada)
c.) the per residential lot fee for Westlake Academy impact (Phase One only)
It should be noted that unfinished on-site infrastructure is largely perimeter streetscaping, as well
as off-site improvements. Off-site infrastructure improvements are the Granada development’s
pro-rata share of certain traffic signals and Solana Boulevard improvement s. Financial
assurances will be provided via an unrestricted Letter of Credit, the form for which must first be
approved by the Town Attorney. Also, the dollar amount of these financial assurances for any
unfinished on-site or off-site infr astructure improvements must first be submitted by the
Developer and approved by Staff.
