What this form is
When the City of Milpitas approves leaving an old pool or spa shell in place and backfilling it with uncertified fill, the property owner must sign this covenant agreeing the area will only be used as open space, never for structural support. The covenant runs with the land, binds future owners, and is recorded with the Santa Clara County Recorder, so the owner's signature must be notarized before the City will accept it.
Who needs it
Milpitas property owners whose approved building permit leaves an existing pool or spa shell backfilled in place with uncertified fill.
Why it needs a notary
The form includes a full California all-purpose notary acknowledgment because it is recorded against the property with the County Recorder.
