City Council Meeting Minutes April 17, 2018 Page 7 of 15 5F Approval of Resolution No. 19, Series 2018 — A Resolution Accepting the Conveyance of and Deeds for Transfer to the City of Tract B, Hutchinson Corner Subdivision — moved from consent agenda Director Zuccaro stated this is a request to accept deeds for a section of Hutchinson Corner. This was originally approved in 2016 and included the dedication of this tract of land and includes portions for right-of-way, sidewalks, and utilities and a small pocket park dedicated to the Acme Mine. Staff has received signed deeds from the HOA and developer and requests Council accept the deeds. One of the requirements of this subdivision was to fill the mine shaft. That was completed in 2015-16 and accepted by the engineering department. Councilmember Loo asked if we are accepting property on both sides of the sidewalk. Director Zuccaro stated yes, the sidewalk is detached from the street so the City would have property on both sides of the sidewalk. Councilmember Loo stated the landscape plan here is complex and the City may not be able to maintain it to the level to which it should be kept. It will be an attractive nuisance if we can't maintain it well enough. She stated the HOA should be responsible for maintaining this, not the City. Public comments — None. Councilmember Keany asked what happens if the City does not accept these deeds as it is a requirement of the Subdivision Agreement. Attorney Light stated acceptance does not preclude further conversations with the HOA about taking over maintenance, but it would close out the existing agreement. The City could look at alternatives such as a licensing agreement or reallocating responsibilities to the HOA. City Attorney Light stated that if the Council does not approve the acceptance we will have a contract for which the City has not met its obligation. Mayor Muckle noted accepting these deeds is doing what we said we would do in a contract. The other details can be worked out later. Mayor Pro Tem Lipton agreed and noted the landscaping plan could be changed. Mayor Muckle moved approve Resolution No. 19; Mayor Pro Tem Lipton seconded. Voice vote 5-1.
