KANE City Attorney RICHARD MORTON Director of Community Development R. DENNIS DELZEIT City Engineer JOHN V. GILLESPIE Chief of Police This is to inform you that Warmington Homes requested the removal of this item from the agenda which was scheduled for the October 6th meeting. Warmington had originally requested a modification to the grading plan because of difficulties encountered with the discovery of groundwater during their operations. However, their soils engineer has come up with an alternative solution which involves the construction of a "buttress fill ". This proposal has been submitted by a qualified soils engineering firm and received our review and approval. The fill slope will be placed at the some location as originally shown on the approved grading plan for this tract. The handling of this matter is consistent with the recently adopted Guidelines for grading plans. Hence, it will not be necessary to bring this matter before the City Council. RDD:sm cc: John F.

City Engineer September 29, 1986 STEVEN KUENY City Manager CHERYL J. KANE City Attorney RICHARD MORTON Director of Community Development R. DENNIS DELZEIT City Engineer JOHN V. GILLESPIE Chief of Police Grading of the Southerly Slopes of Lots 9 through 12 Within Tract 3019 (Warmington) BACKGROUND INFORMATION Recently, it was brought to our attention by the developer's engineer that the above subject slopes within Tract 3019 should be changed from what was originally designed (see attached exhibits) . The soils engineer has recommended these slope changes after certain field conditions were discovered during grading operations. Apparently, during grading operations, seepage of subsurface water in the midportion of the slope face was observed. The soils engineer has stated that if the slope is to remain at the 1 -1/2 : 1 gradient as currently designed, substantial surficial erosion is likely to occur. He is, therefore, recommending cutting back the slope to a 2 -1/2 : 1 gradient, thus decreasing the potential for surficial erosion. By cutting the slope back as the soils engineer recommends, the top of the slope would move anywhere from 15 to 100 feet further back from where it was originally planned, depending on which lot you look at (refer to attached exhibit). It would also cut into existing 20% or steeper slopes that these lots back up against. In discussing this matter further with the soils engineer with regard to alternate construction methods, it was discovered that any other type of construction would result in extensive engineering and construction costs and could still have the possibility of slope erosion problems in the future. FWD saw 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 SEP 3 8 29 -6864 Page -2- This item is brought to your attention because of the recently adopted grading policy which requires that final grading be in substantial conformance with the original grading concept. Since the grading in this area would not be in substantial conformance with the original grading plan and that the proposed change requires grading in 20% slopes, we felt that you should have an opportunity to comment on the proposed change. RECOMMENDED ACTION This item is an informational item only and should be received and filed along with any comments regarding the subject matter. RDD:JW :go cc: John Knipe, Asst.
