RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt resolution (Attachment 1) accepting work of Greenbriar Homes Communities, and
authorizing the Town Manager to execute a Certificate of Acceptance and Notice of Completion
for recording by the Clerk Administrator.
BACKGROUND:
The developer, Greenbriar Homes Communities, submitted an application in 1999 to subdivide
an approximately 78 acre parcel into 14 lots and to demolish four single family homes and a
barn. The Planned Development Ordinance 2097 was approved by the Town Council on January
23, 2002. The Planning Commission approved the tentative map (M-02-0018) on January 22,
2003, and the Town Council approved the final map (Resolution 2004-100) on August 2, 2004.
Grading and encroachment permits were issued on September 3, 2004 (EN04-145).
DISCUSSION:
Public improvements, to be accepted as complete, include the spot widening of Hicks Road,
construction of two new public streets-Shannon Oaks Lane and Mountain Laurel Lane-together
with the associated utilities needed to serve the project, asphalt trail parallel to Hicks Road,
compacted earth trail through the project that connects to Santa Rosa Drive and the Shannon
Road trail system parking lot for horse trailers at the trail head on Shannon Road, and the
extension of natural gas, water, and sanitary sewer to the site.

MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
SUBJECT: TRACT NO. 9505 - SHANNON VALLEY RANCH (17101 HICKS ROAD)
MAY 23, 2007
CONCLUSION:
This project is now ready for full approval and acceptance by the Town.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
This activity is a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), but
is ministerial, therefore no further action is required under CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct known fiscal impact associated with accepting these previously required public
improvements. However, once accepted, these improvements become part of the Town's
infrastructure which must be maintained. The future costs are not known at this time. However,
the trail improvements will be maintained by the project's home owners association. New
development in the subdivision will yield new property tax revenues to the Town in future years.
At this time, the Town receives approximately 9.6% of every dollar of local property tax paid to
the County Assessor's Office.
