What this form is
When a development installs structural stormwater best management practices to comply with the City of Arroyo Grande's municipal code, the property owner must sign an Operation and Maintenance and Right of Entry Agreement covenanting to maintain the system and allow City inspections. Because the agreement runs with the land and is recorded against the property, the City requires the owner's signature to be notarized before it will countersign and the owner records it with the County Recorder.
Who needs it
Property owners and developers in Arroyo Grande whose project includes a private stormwater system subject to post-construction maintenance requirements.
Why it needs a notary
The City's own recording instructions state the owner must 'sign and notarize' the Agreement before the City countersigns and notarizes it for recording with the County Recorder.
