MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT Rv:
To: Honorable City Council
From: Nancy Burns, Senior Management Analyst
Date: March 14, 2001 (CC Meeting of March 21, 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, 1998, 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. Updates
have been provided regularly to the Moorpark Redevelopment
Agency or the City Council since February 7, 2001.
DISCUSSION
Staff continues to work with legal counsel, the developer, and
construction lender to resolve issues relating to various loan
documents, the proposed amendment to the DDA and its
attachments, and the Suhordi.nati.on Agreement with the lender.
The owner of property required for right -of -way has requested a
driveway to access the north /south street through the project;
this request has been denied, as staff believes adequate access
to the owner's property is available via two (2) existing
driveways onto Poindexter Avenue. When this matter is resolved,
escrow can close on the acquisition of that strip of land by the
developer., and subsequent transfer of title to the City.
Honorable City Council

The City Engineer continues to work with the developer's
engineer to complete the resolution of issues such as acceptance
of the legal. description of the property needed as right -of -way
for the north /south street (without driveway easement); storm
water detention; National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) 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.

MEMORANDUM
March 14, 2001
To: Wayne Loftus, Director of Community Development
Nancy Burns, Sr. Administrative Assistant
From: Walter Brown, City Engineer Gv'7f)
Subject: Tract 5161, Cabrillo — Status, Revised with Final Map Recording Date
Sight Distance at Poindexter and `A' Street (Leta Yancy Road)
Ramseyer Engineering has shown the relocation of the north perimeter wall of the subdivision. We
have reviewed the plans. They meet the sight distance requirements. The plans have minor
corrections. I anticipate that the plans can be corrected within one week.
NPDES Compliance
The plans show 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 reviewed the plans and are satisfied that the filters will meet the NPDES
requirements. The improvement plans show the specific model of filter units and details for their
installation.
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. The acceptability of the right -of -way
has been clouded by the developer's commitment to provide a driveway, at a specific location, to
the granting owner. The developer's engineer has shown the driveway on the improvement plans.
The engineer -of -work will have the driveway removed from the plans. Approving the proposed
driveway location is inappropriate at this time. The driveway location and size will be considered at
the time the granting property owner submits a development proposal.
Grading Quantities
The developer has submitted a request to import 25,000 cubic yards of fill for the project. The
grading plans show an import amount of 3,300 cubic yards. The conditions of approval of the
Tract 5161 — Status Report
tentative map for the project state that the project is to be balanced on site and requires import
operations of more than 100 truckloads to be approved by City Council. I have discussed this issue
with Robert Warren, the engineer -of -work for the project. Mr. Warren was unaware of the 25,000
cubic yard import request and is looking into the issue.
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 the final map is being
reviewed by the Engineering Department. As noted, above, the improvement plans will need to be
corrected before they can be approved. The Final Map and grading/improvement plans have gone
through five plan check 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 45 days from today, say the meeting of May 2, 2001. The
condition of the recent plans and map submitted by the applicant has prompted us to maintain that
date from our last progress report.
