DISCUSSION:
On December 19, 2000, the Board approved Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 4968, of which Phase 1 was Tract No. 4968. On May 1, 2018, the Board approved the Final Map and associated Subdivision Agreement No. 18-236 for Tract No. 4968, a planned residential development consisting of one hundred and six (106) lots with a minimum parcel size of six thousand six hundred (6,600) square-feet. The Subdivision Agreement required the Subdivider to construct certain improvements that were not completed at the time of the County’s approval of the Final Map.
Bond Release
Consistent with the County Ordinance Code, the Subdivider posted security to ensure the performance and maintenance of tract improvements. The Subdivider has completed all the work in accordance with the Improvement Plans and Landscape Plans for this project. The Department has inspected the improvements that have been constructed and has determined them to be in substantial conformance with the approved Improvement Plans.
Tract No. 4968 has developed 1.5 miles of private roads to be permanently maintained by the County Service Area 34, Zone D.
Surface Water Treatment Plant
The Millerton Specific Plan requires that the infrastructure plan contain elements regarding domestic water and procedures for implementation. The domestic water element required construction of a Surface Water Treatment Plant (SWTP) and expansion of the plant to adequately serve development. Subdivision Agreement 18-236 for Tract 4968 required the expansion of the SWTP in order to serve Tract 4968. In past years the Locational Running Annual Average did not meet State Water Boards haloacetic acids (HAA5) requirements, however, the Compliance Order issued by the State Water Resources Control Board was lifted on September 5, 2025, due to the water system being made capable of producing water that complies with HAA5.
The Subdivider has completed the construction of the SWTP expansion, and the County has accepted the plant improvements.
