BACKGROUND WICKS ROAD SETTLEMENT On September 23 , 1994 the Engineering Department was made aware of some apparent new cracks along the southerly shoulder of Wicks Road. Engineering Staff and their Geologist immediately investigated the cracks and potholed to determine if the cracks were of a superficial nature or oa]d potentially pose a threat to the street or adjacent property Both the City Engineer and the consultant Geologist shared the that recent settlement has occurred and r har further innest Lgat i m was necessary to determine the cause ani extent of r lE e ` 1 �ine:ir. , along with remedial measures . On November 30 , 1994, the Cit , cf Moorpark authorized A.G. I . Geotechnical to perform a geotechnical investigation of the distress and develop solutions . As a result, a report discussing the apparent cause along with reiiedia: -end permanent solutions was provided to the Engineering Dep ,lr ;near t r review. In addition, .chile performing a Ltfer-n-_ investigation, relating to substandard housing at the b. t it )' ':his same slope, the City Engineering Department disk' ( t &( that some non-approved excavations havN taken plat t h(- ce which pose additional potential hazard, rc both the :,• . - 1 ! ' he homes below. DETENTION BASIN The subject detention basin, .located between Wicks Road and Everett Street (See Exhibit 1) , was constructed by the Army Corps of Engineering some fifty years a.-t .). Research determined that no additional history or plans :f ' he construction are available at the City or Ccunry. In years he basin drained onto Everett Street below Via an undergroi.t .- t•-,n that outlets through a retaining wa1_ The pipe syst ,-n r ent _y obstructed and water backs up in The basin afte :, . i.. i , it can evaporate or percolate int. rhe Soil . Sint e .e n-s In ,,araruetrrs of the basin are unknown .- here are risk , 3 Lit c with water backing up including water breaching the ti i Thi_ oasin and adverse impacts due to increased hydrostatic rre : properties below. 1 00007 Wicks Road currently serves, Dr has the potential to serve, 21 lots (10 of which are vacant, 10 of which have single family homes, and 1 which supports 18 separate dwelling units) . The SP-10 property, to the north and east, has a potential for the development of between 154 and 231 homes . I" is possible that Wicks Road may necessarily be extended to pr .vrde a secondary access to that development at some time in the n,ti - efer to Exhibit 1) . This report provides options :,cvantages , disadvantages, and preliminary cost estimates fpr o' h -}he settlement and detention basin problem: . DISCUSSION WICKS ROAD SETTLEMENT There is no Indication that the >)>serned settlement cracks were caused by an incipient landslid€ . Rather it is the geologist 's opinion that the distress is die to over watering and lack of support of the poorly consolidated :•houider material . It was also observed that the fill mater:ai .r the slope was not compacted to current standards and is subjec' >i:os on and surficial failures. Two repair options have been re )mmende3 by the geologist and are being submitted herein for the A iF n • - pproval : Remedial Repair The remedial solution involves eirm..natJng the existing irrigation system on the south side of W. . ks Road, the sealing of cracks, grading of the southerly shoulder t : redirect water away from the slope, placement of jute mesh ac d hrought tolerant vegetation on the slope, and rhe installation t ,lough/ retaining wall at the toe of slope /ehicles sho ai a ; revented from driving or parking on -hE shoulder at t1-11 :--; - > ,r Advantages: The advantage of the remeati . woi ,,c is the cost savings in comparison to a permanent sc . ,r i Disadvantages : a . Remedial repair does not iininate the possibility of future settlement should water from an/ source ( irrigation, rain, or water line break) intrude int `re b. The possibility of futur settlement increases the risk of utility rupture (water of has . water line break could accelerate settlement o - 'el cause a mud flow onto the property below. c. Continued maintenance anc , >> i t t r ing. • 2 00008 Permanent Repair A permanent solution involves t:.- removal and recompaction of the existing fill (see Exhibit 2 ) , _ns'=allation of soil stabilization measures such as geotextiles , > j stabilization material (soil cement) , and/or placement of i" E rrtst , replacement of the road section, an l :t i l i r�. relocat_i, t Advantages : The permanent solution wou,c: reduce :he possibility of future settlement and, as such, any otentil utility ruptures. Disadvantages: a. The permanent solution is .•erl expensive. b. Detouring and maintainin.t lccal traffic will be difficult and inconvenient to residentF z' he end of the road. With either option the street ar. . Moulder repairs would be within the City ' s 60 foot right-of-w6y Repairs to the slope would encroach onto private proper ' 7 tec)uiling construction and maintenance easements. DETENTION BASIN Two repair options have been e-• a , itatE,1 and are being submitted herein for the Agency 's appro\ a. Storm Drain Only This solution entails replaceme-.r_ )t he existing standpipe and storm drain pipe and connection ) the .xisting storm drain system in Everett Street . Advantages : The benefit of the storm-drai-i >nl ; A:• ion is the cost savings . Disadvantages : a. Periodic maintenance would r�c�ui . ed. b. This repair does not tacit t a* = th future widening of Wicks Road. Storm Drain and Fill-In Basin This option involves the filling in of the retention basin and installing a storm drain systen from Wicks road to the existing storm drain on Everett Street . Advantages : 3 08009 a. Additional land will be made usable and Wicks Road could be widened in the future wi ' 'icut thp installation of large retaining walls. b. Street and drain mainten . tie to debris and erosion in the basin, will be reducec:. Disadvantages : The major disadvantage of th , opriul is the large construction cost . It should be noted that the detention basin is located on property owned by adjacent residents. The:Tefare the property would have to be purchased by the City or ) c n: truc' lx) easement would have to be obtained. With either option the it is nut known whether the capacity of the Everett Street storm drain below N.ill handle the increased load when the basin drainage is tied dicect ,y into the Everett drain. Hydrological calculations will h(-- requirf.d prior to any connection. FISCAL IMPACT The following cost preliminary 'ost es:imates have been developed on rough pre-design assumptiors r dlc: ssion purposes only.

Historically, developers have not paid for improvements tc Wicks Road other than constructing improvements along their property f:cntages . The necessary work under either ,ptipri may be funded by Gas Tax or Redevelopment Agency funds . Th,, ity Manager recommends Redevelopment Agency funds . Fu he i i recommended that the appropriation tot construction 3 : detetrd until rhe earlier of the bid award or adopt/oh of the fluc c,1. $12.; CONCLUSION Wicks Road Settlement It is the Geologist s opinion -_Dat the observed road distress is due to excessive water from irrigat.Jcn and rain on poorly compacted soil material on the shoulder . N, ;;qns of an incipient landslide have been observed however compa rn of the supporting road fill are not up to ulrenstandards ci i,lact . :e. The permanent solution to the road slr .ement would reci — ! lit removal and recompaction of a large pori .! c the hi1 : 1 Inc/ i ,ad section at a very high cost . Even though the road shoulder ha..., been poorly constructed and the slope fill is not up to current ,,,tandards, less expensive remedial measures could be effectively utili::ed. The remedial measures do not eliminate the risk of future settlement or surficial slope instabilities but would impede , f not: - ritirely stop the adverse distress . The remedial repairi : e,T ' e continued maintenance 5 00011 and monitoring hut would effect , e ,1,, extend the usable life of the road until such time that the Citi either decides to widen the road or sees the need for the more pe. epair. Detention Basin An effective solution to the existing :obstructed drain line would be to install an engineered iep; acement drain system, to be connected directly into the EverEt- Street storm drain below. This would serve the minimum needs of An alternative, and much more expensive, option would be to entirely fill in the basin, extending the storm drain discussed above to Wicks Road. This alt•_rna- ive world decrease maintenance to Wicks Road and the storm drain o ,w„1 - as facilitate any future widening need: for the road. RECOMMENDATION (Roll Call Vote) Due to the large disparity in co: :s, the immediate effectiveness of the lesser options, and the abz :. i' ; of the City to undertake the more permanent and expensive c pt . c.n: a any later time without significant cost waste due an: .a , :k _,erI )rmed as part of the lesser option work, staff would re _ c. nme: : h Et ,he Agency approve rhe following: Staff recommends the appropr tionDt $11 , 500 . 00 from bond construction proceeds for the design of repair. to Wicks Road ($4 , 500 . 00) , and the adjacent letenti :n basin drain replacement ($6, 000 . 00) , with a contingent y . cif . .)0 . cc: Steve Kueny, City Manager Ken Gilbert, Director of Pub -i,' c-:. 84 . 460 6 01012 Fx1-4- i0IT" Z o salc A N 9 km-4_© m p LTio M • ( :.: a < %.:,k.s:.:.. .. b .,. • . s ',....,k,• . ill ..,„ ,,,. , , ` j • .•. .. .• ,,,, s . d: . .„..„ .C:1 • w .. 1 0619. . . . ; . • • L. •• • r .,ii. lg. .1 •. • • tDf , + 5 ..a_f- eliro V SIIIIMV ., logy ci.

Moorpark Redevelopment Agency Agenda Report TO: Redevelopment Agency Board . FROM: Richard Hare, Deputy City ManagOr , DATE: April 12, 1995 (CC Mtg. 4/19/95) SUBJECT: Consider Moorpark Redevelopment Agency (Agency) NW `%>sr/Jl1'c k Payment of Assessments for AD 92-I Background Assessment District 92-1 was formed in August 1992 for the purpose of funding public improvements consisting of drainage, street, and utility improvements in the area of Los Angeles Avenue and Lassen Avenue. The City Engineer calculated the benefits to various parcels and determined the required assessments to pay for the improvements. Bonds in the amount of$2,595,000 were issued to pay for the improvements in April 1993. Agency Property The 30 acres of property owned by the Agency which is commonly referred to as Gisler Field has assessments against the property of$1,350,753.70. The northern portion of the property(15 acres) has a proposed use as a park(7 acres) and residential development (8 acres). The residential/parks property has a total assessment of$191,806.81. The southern 15 acres has a total assessment of $1,158,946.89 of which $228,424.58 is outstanding for 1993, 1994 and 1995. Staff recommends that the Agency pay the entire assessment owed on the northern residential/parks property ($191,806.81) and clear the outstanding assessments on the southern property ($228,424.58) so the property can be sold without the outstanding obligations Staff is recommending the payment of these assessments ($420,231.39)for the public improvements to the property with Agency bond proceeds. In the event the properties are sold in the future, it is staff's recommendation that the assessments be recovered in the purchase price of the property. Remaining Annual Assessments The assessments would be paid directly to the Trustee and placed in the redemption account for the bond issue to meet debt service requirements of the bond issue. The Ventura Pacific Capital property to the east of the Agency property will then be the only property making annual assessment district payments. This property is commonly referred to as Mission Bell Phase I and consists of developed commercial property which fronts on Los Angeles Avenue and includes the K-Mart store 0061-3 Los Angeles Avenue Area of Contribution(LAAOC) Eight other properties in the Assessment District paid their assessments through a loan from the LAAOC. These properties no longer have any liability to the Assessment District. They do carry a liability to the LAAOC. When the use of the residential properties changes or the properties are sold they are required to repay the loan with interest A total of$802,150.81 was loaned from the LAAOC. Recommendation(Roll Call Vote Required) Staff recommends that the Agency authorize the payment of the assessments owed on the Agency property known as Gisler Field for Assessment District 92-1 totalling $420,231.39 from Agency bond issue proceeds with the northern portion prorated between the housing and construction portion of bond proceeds based on acreage. rh:\mpk\ad92 1.mra 00614
