This is merely an administerial action, as required by the Municipal Code and the Subdivision Map Act. RECOMMENDATION: 1) Adopt Resolution No. "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING FINAL MAP 33542 FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2003 NORTH PALM CANYON DRIVE, IN SECTION 3, TOWNSHIP 4 SOUTH, RANGE 4 EAST, AND APPROVING A SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT WITH VIA ESCUELA LAND PARTNERS, LLC, A DELAWARE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY;" and 2) Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents. STAFF ANALYSIS: Coachella Valley Engineers, Inc., representing Via Escuela Land Partners, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, submitted Final Map 33542, requesting that the Item No. T• A • City Council Staff Report June 7, 2006 - Page 2 Final Map 33542 property located at 2003 North Palm Canyon Drive, in Section 3, Township 4 South, Range 4 East, be subdivided into a one lot Tract Map for condominium purposes on a 1.57 gross acre site. At its meeting of July 13, 2005, the Planning Commission recommended approval of Tentative Tract Map 33542, which was subsequently approved by the City Council, subject to conditions, on September 7, 2005. As part of the City Council's conditional approval of Tentative Tract Map 33542 was the inclusion of a requirement to construct a new bus turn-out and amenities at the existing bus stop located at the southwest corner of North Palm Canyon Drive and Via Escuela. The applicant has requested the City Council's approval to delete this requirement from the project, and this request is scheduled for separate consideration as a Public Hearing Item. Two final maps have been prepared to facilitate the applicant's request to proceed without delay with final map approval while the concurrent process to have the bus-turn out requirement reconsidered by City Council. Depending upon the City Council's decision to maintain the requirement or delete the requirement to construct a bus turn-out, a final rnap has been prepared to facilitate either decision. Two Resolutions have been prepared, with the only difference between the two being the reference in one to the dedication of an easement to the City for the bus turn-out, should the requirement remain a condition of this project. It has been determined that required conditions have been satisfied, that Final Map 33542 is in substantial conformance with the approved Tentative Tract Map, and that Final Map 33542 is ready for City Council approval.

After examination, the contractor shall restore said portions of the work to the standards required hereunder. Inspection or supervision by the City shall not be considered as direct control of the individual workmen on the job site.

If items are found by City's inspector to be incomplete or not in compliance after two (2) "final" inspections, City may require the contractor, as a condition to performing further field inspections, to submit in writing a detailed statement of the work performed subsequent to the date of the previous inspection which was found to be incomplete or not in compliance at that time. No inspection or acceptance pertaining to specific parts of the Works of Improvement shall be construed as final acceptance of any part until the overall final acceptance by City is made. Final acceptance shall not constitute a waiver by City of __defective_work subsequently discovered. --.-.

Such requirements may include the payment of fees, construction of improvements, or both.
