FROM: R. Dennis Delzeit, City Engineer /��.�""-" A- e
DATE: August 13, 1987
SUBJECT: PD-1010 (Palmer)
Pedestrian/Bike Path
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
One of the conditions for PD-1010 (Palmer) is the
construction of an equestrian/bike path adjacent to the
Arroyo Simi, along the southerly portion of the project. If
the path were constructed along the existing banks of the
Arroyo, the path would be destroyed at some future date when
the improvements. are made to the Arroyo. In conversations
with the Flood Control District, it has not been determined
when these improvements are expected to be constructed. The
soonest that the improvements could be constructed would be
approximately five years. However, I believe five years is
a bit too optimistic.
Another option would be to locate the path as far as
possible from the existing bank, which would place it
adjacent to the recently constructed basketball and tennis
courts. They are shown on the attached print. However, it
should be pointed out that the approximate boundary of the
future improvements will be approximately in the middle of
the trail. However, it should be noted that the design of
the future improvements along the Arroyo has not been
prepared so precise measurements are not available at this
time.

Another option would be for the City to obtain a deposit
from Palmer for the estimated costs of the trail and hold
these funds in the City Treasury until such time as it has
been determined exactly where the trail can be located or
until such a time as there is a demonstrated need for the
trail. Currently, the trail would lead to nowhere because
there are no other portions of the trail in existence along
the bank of the Arroyo.
The developer, Palmer, is anxious to satisfy this condition
of development and is willing to either build the trail or
deposit the money with the City.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council directs staff to
proceed with one of the following options:
1. Construct the equestrian/bike trail adjacent to
the tennis court and basketball court as shown on
the attached print (Sheet 11 of 22) ; or,
2 . Obtain a deposit from the developer (Palmer) for
the estimated cost of the equestrian/bike path and
hold this money on deposit until after the
improvements have been made to the Arroyo or it is
been determined that a legitimate need exists to
construct the equestrian/bike trail .
