HomeMy WebLinkAbout4/7/2004 - STAFF REPORTS (15) DATE: April 7, 2004 TO: City Council FROM: Director of Public Works/City Engineer PALM SPRINGS MASTER DRAINAGE PLAN LINE 15 EXTENSION COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve a joint agreement between the City of Palm Springs, Palm Springs Modern Homes V, LLC, and Riverside County Flood Control & Water Conservation District related to the design, installation and construction, and operation and maintenance of the extension of Storm Drain Line 15. SUMMARY: Palm Springs Modern Homes V, LLC, is the developer of Tract Map 29077 located at the west end of Tahquitz Canyon Way. The developer is proposing to extend Master Storm Drain Line 15 to facilitate flood control protection and drainage of their property. The developer is responsible for the design and installation of this storm drain facility which is part of the City's Master Plan of Drainage, administered by the Riverside County Flood Control & Water Conservation District (RCFC). The extended storm drain line will be operated and maintained by RCFC. BACKGROUND: Tentative Tract Map 29077, approved by the City on July 17, 2002, required that the property be developed in accordance with the City's requirements for flood control protection, and acceptance and conveyance of existing off-site storm water runoff through the property. The developer is proposing to extend Storm Drain Line 15 to allow it to accept storm water runoff from the property. Currently, this 39 inch diameter storm drain facility ends in Tahquitz Canyon Way just past Museum Way. A short extension of the storm drain is required to facilitate the new development. In light of the fact that RCFC staff is not preparing the plans for the storm drain extension, and is not responsible for bidding the construction project for its installation, RCFC requires that a joint cooperative agreement be approved with the developer, who is responsible for the design and installation of the system. The City is a party to this cooperative agreement only by the fact that the storm drain line extension is within the City's public right-of-way, and is a part of the City's Master Plan of Drainage. RCFC staff has prepared a joint cooperative agreement that stipulates the terms and conditions of having the RCFC storm drain line extension designed and installed by the developer and its contractor. RCFC will be responsible for inspection of construction, as well as operation and maintenance of the storm drain facility. Palm Springs Master Drainage Plan Line 15 Extension Cooperative Agreement April 7, 2004 Page 2 Staff recommends that the City Council approve the cooperative agreement, previously reviewed and approved by the City Attorney, to allow development of Tract 29077 to continue on schedule.
