RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2017/438 approving and authorizing the Interim Public Works Director, or designee, to execute the Maintenance Agreement between Contra Costa County and the Round Hill Estates North Property Owners Association, Inc., a California corporation, to memorialize the maintenance of two as-built entryway monuments, as recommended by the Interim Public Works Director, Alamo area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact. Round Hill Estates North Property Owners Association, Inc., will assume the obligation and cost of maintaining the monuments adjacent to Biltmore Drive.

BACKGROUND:

Two as-built entryway monuments were originally constructed in the early 1980s together with the development of Round Hill Estates North. Round Hill Estates North Property Owners Association submitted an application for a building permit for the monuments in 2015 and it was decided to memorialize the maintenance of the structures by requiring a maintenance agreement with Contra Costa County, which should have been done when they were originally constructed. Both monuments were built adjacent to the edge of Biltmore Drive roadway because they are decorative elements to highlight the entrance to the community, and are intended to be highly visible to motorists. The Department of Conservation and Development issued a variance (VR15-1054) to also clarify the existing and future limits of the entry monument. Execution of this maintenance agreement is a condition of approval of this variance.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Agreement will not be approved and the monuments adjacent to Biltmore Drive will not be maintained and the County will not be indemnified.
