AGENDA REPORT
To: Honorable City Council
From: Nancy Burns, Senior Management Analyst l�
Date: February 27, 2001 (CC Meeting of March17, 2001)
Subject: CONSIDER REPORT ON THE PROGRESS OF MOUNTAIN VIEW
DEVELOPMENT BY CABRILLO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
CORPORATION (TRACT NO. 5161, RESIDENTIAL PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT NO. 98 -7)
BACKGROUND
A Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) was executed July
8, 1.998, for the construction of fifty -nine (59) homes on the
Gisler Field site, fifteen (15) of which are to be affordable to
low and very low income households. The project has been
delayed considerably; the Amended Schedule of Performance calls
for the Final Map to have been recorded in March 2000. LJpdates
have been provided regularly to the Moorpark Redevelopment
Agency or the City Council since February '7, 2.001.
DISCUSSION
At its February 7, 2001, regular meeting, the Council heard
testimony from a resident who had applied for one of the
Affordable Units, requesting the Council examine the pricing and
selection procedures used by the developer. The developer also
addressed the Council on these issues. The developer was asked
to copy the Council on letters to be sent to applicants who have
expressed concerns about these matters.
The concerns expressed include the following:
1. Applicant selection process;
2. Change in anticipated pricing of homes;
Honorable City Council
Date 02/27/01
Page 2
3. Change in required down payment, due to increased house price;
4. Lack of selection of lot and /or size of house; and
5. Overall. communication with applicants throughout the marketing
and selection process.
Staff met with the developer to review these issues and related
matters pertaining to the project. The developer offered to
prepare a letter which addresses stated general concerns
expressed by potential buyers of Affordable Units (attached).
In addition, the developer will send a letter to the residents
who have sent letters of concern to the City or testified at the
last Council meeting; this letter will address each applicant's
individual concerns.
Staff continues to work with legal counsel and the developer to
resolve issues relating to various loan documents and the
proposed amendment to the DDA and its attachments.
The City Engineer has met with the developer's engineer to
resolve issues such as acceptance of the legal description of
the property needed as right -of -way for the north /south street;
storm water detention; National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDFS) requirements; and sight distance requirements at
the northern terminus of the north /south street through the
development. An update memo from the City Engineer is attached
to this report.

had been approved by Building and Safety and we identified
the very low and 7.ow income homes.
See attached letter dated March 21, 2000 regarding the
application process for the affordable homes.
Applications were accepted for the 15 affordable homes on
April 2, 2000. We accepted applications cn a first come
first served basis. Zile first 63 of 145 applications
.received have been reviewed so far. we have given
preference to those applicants with a Moorpark address.
No o.:her preference has been given. Cn June 27, 2000, we
sent out the attached letter (narned blanked out) to
applicants who, based on the informaticn they had
presented to us, did not appear to be eligible; the letter
gave them. an opportunity to respond. Scrr.e did so. Based
on the initial review and the availability of homes in
Phase 1, tievFn applicants were submitted for approval to
Washington Mutual Bank, the first Mortgage lender. All
have been approved. upon approval, the seven were asked
to indicate their lot preference. For the one family who
was approved for a very low income t;!ree bed-rcam home and
the ore fLanily who was approved for a very low income four
bedroom home, there is only one of each available in. Phase
1. The : T_-. ly who was approved for the very low income
three bedroom home did not qualify based on income for the
higher priced four bedroom home.
Since the criginal marketin^, we did in May 2000 increase
our Affordable prices '.cased on actual construction bids,
increased school district fees, higher city fees than
originally projected, added interest on L•he RDA loan, and
other factci's. Attached is a chart showing the sales
prices. At this time we anticipate being able to not
increase the affordable prices further if we are able to
start construction as anticipated.
The long periods between initial application and projected
purchase is clearly the major source of frustration fox
all concerne3.
We have sent letters to the Staceys, the Hendersons, and
isabe' Huerta responding specifically to their situations.
With their p::rmission, we would be happy to share copies
of these letters with you. We have also asked Joanne
Seaton of Trcop Realty to contact rho Staceys and the
Hendorscns to review with them their alternatives. Tn'e
will have one of our Homeownership Counselors contact mrs.
Ht:e-rt: to review her application with her.

MEMORANDUM
February 28, 2001
To: Wayne Loftus, Director of Community Development
Nancy Burns, Sr. Administrative Assistant
From: Walter Brown, City Engineer
Subject: Tract 5161, Cabrillo — Status, Revised with Final Map Recording Date
Sight Distance at Poindexter and `A' Street (Leta Yancy Road)
Bob Warren, of Ramseyer Engineering, has shown us exhibits for the relocation of the north
perimeter wall of the subdivision and the changes necessary to meet the sight distance criteria. We
have reviewed his exhibits. They show the adequacy of his proposal to meet the sight distance
requirements. We have not received modified improvement plans that show the changes. I
anticipate that when received the plans will be correct and will be approvable.
NPDES Compliance
Mr. Warren has proposed the use of `structural treatment' `Best Management Practices' (BMP's)
consisting of proprietary filters to satisfy the `National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Standards'
( NPDES) requirements. We have had discussions with Mr. Warren and are satisfied that he is
proposing a viable, although maintenance intensive, solution to the NPDES requirements. He has
not prepared improvement plans that show the specific model of filter units or the details for their
installation It is our understanding that Mr. Warren will provide construction plans showing the
use of AbTech Industries series CO2000 filters. The model is adaptable to standard curb inlets.
Storm Water Peak Flow Mitigation
The conditions of approval for the subdivision require that the developer construct improvements
such that drainage will be detained on -site when the drainage amount is between the ten year and
fifty year storm event. The developer's engineer, Mr. Bob Warren, has not shown that the rainfall
peak flow from the project will be no more than the pre - development flow. He has shown that the
increase in flow is negligible, one cubic foot per second (equal to 449 gallons per minute), and close
enough to enable us to make a finding of substantial compliance for the condition of approval.
Street Right -of -Way at North -east Corner of Subdivision (`A' Street)
The metes - and - bounds description is satisfactory. The description attached to the deed is required
to be signed and sealed by the professional who prepared it.
Prediction of Recordation of Final Map
Recordation of the Final map is dependent on completion of the improvement plans and receipt of
bonds and documents required to satisfy the conditions of approval. Presently none of those
materials are being reviewed by the Engineering Department. It is possible that these submittals
will need corrections before they can be approved. The Final Map has gone through four plan check
Tract 5161 — Status Report
reviews. Upon receipt of complete and correct plans, we will need approximately twenty -five
working days to obtain City Council approval of the final map. The schedule is:
• Review of plans and documents 10 days
• Preparation, review and modification of agenda report 5 days
❑ Median period for agenda report processing 10 days
Based on the performance of the developer's team I estimate that we will not be able to recommend
the final map to City Council in less than 60 days from today, say the meeting of May 2, 2001. A
recent submittal by the applicant has prompted us to set the date as shown.
