HEAD cjfc' CITY ATTY. <^^ CITY MGR.~\5^p> 2006-219 conditionally accepting the construction of Melrose Drive, RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. from Palomar Airport Road to the City's northerly City boundary. ITEM EXPLANATION: The Carlsbad City Council adopted the Circulation Element of the General Plan as a way to ensure a comprehensive manner and method for the circulation of people, goods, energy, water, sewage, storm waters, communications and services. On February 27, 2001, City of Carlsbad Council Policy Statement No. 63 was issued to establish a policy on the acceptance or conditional acceptance of Circulation Element roadways or portions of such roadways into the City street system. This policy states that City Council shall consider the policies of the General Plan, the standards of the Growth Management Plan, the safety and needs of the traveling public, which in the opinion of the City Council are necessary and appropriate for the orderly, safe and efficient development of the circulation system. Policy no. 63 requires formal City Council acceptance of these Circulation Element roadways into the City's street system. Melrose Drive meets the criteria of a Circulation Element roadway. The construction of Melrose Drive as shown on drawing number 399-4, consisting of the construction of Melrose Drive between Palomar Airport Road and Carlsbad's northerly boundary, is substantially complete. It is anticipated all remaining items of work will be complete in early August, 2006. The ultimate Melrose Drive improvements cannot be completed until the intersection of Palomar Airport Road and Melrose Drive is re-constructed. The necessary intersection improvements cannot be completed until acquisition of necessary right-of-way south of Palomar Airport Road is acquired. Melrose Drive is being constructed in accordance with the plans and specs that were previously approved by the City Engineer and in accordance with the interim intersection plans that have been approved by the City Engineer. The interim intersection plans are on file in the office of the City Engineer. City staff has inspected the work completed to date and found it to be satisfactory. Pursuant to CMC Chapter 11.04 Section 11.04.050 (C) this acceptance does not relieve the developer from liability for any and all defects found after the acceptance of improvements, in accordance with the Subdivision Improvement agreements or any other similar agreements. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The environmental review for these projects was conducted with the approval of the individual projects, including cumulative impacts of all of the above mentioned projects. There are no additional or cumulative impacts not previously considered in the environmental review for these projects.
