In July, the City Council reviewed a revised grading plan
for the Kavl ico Project. This revised grading plan
addressed the extension of the parking lot to the west of
the building, the incorporation of the reinforced concrete
storm drain box and the grading of the entire southerly
portion of the property.
At that time, it was pointed out by the City Engineer that
due to the problems experienced with this project during the
last rainy season, the approval stipulated that all grading
work on the borrow site be completed prior to October 15,
1986. As of this date, this work has not been completed.
Since the developer has not complied with the requirements
of this grading permit, the City Engineer, under Section
7303 of the Standard Land Development Specifications, is
requiring the developer to place all necessary erosion
control measures for the proper disposal of storm waters
from the borrow site. As stipulated in this section, all
such facilities must be in place and operational on or prior
to November 1st of each year.
The developer has been notified of this requirement by
letter (a copy attached). Should the developer fail to
comply, it shall be deemed that a default has occurred under
the conditions of his grading permit bond. His bond company
will then be so notified.

With regard to this developer's work within the Ventura
County Flood Control District Channel (Happy Camp Drain),
the City Engineer is also concerned with the potential of
flooding. Due to these concerns, the City Engineer has
discussed this matter with the Flood Control officials and
they have ordered that Kavlico open up the Happy Camp drain
as soon as possible. The County Flood Control has also
stated that if this work is not done expeditiously that
County crews and equipment will be used to open up the drain
with all costs to be charged to the developer.
In recent
discussions with the developer,
he has stated
that
the storm
drain box should be completed on
October 13th
with
backfill
operations to begin on October
15th. with
this
schedule,
the channel should be open,
according to
the
developer,
within approximately one week.
An exact
time frame for both of the above
items is not known
at this
time. An update will be provided
at the
City
Council Meeting
of October 20, 1986.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file
this report.

On July 30, 1986, a grading plan change order for your
site was approved by the City Engineer. On sheet 1 of these
plans, note 1 specified that "all grading shall be completed
and slopes hydroseeded and irrigated prior to the rainy
season (October 15,.1986)". A recent site check indicates
that this has not been completed.
Also, according to paragraphs "B ", and "E" of Section
7303 of the City's grading ordinance, erosion control plans
for the site should have been submitted to our office by
September 15, 1986 with installation of the erosion control
devices by November 1, 1986.
Due to the failure to perform either of the above
measures, we are requiring immediate action as follows:
1. All graded slopes shall be covered with plastic
and sandbagged as well as. sandbagging of all of
the toe of slopes. Desilting basins shall be
constructed so as to eliminate mud and debris from
clogging the Happy Camp drain or entering public
right -of -way along Los Angeles Avenue. Grading
shall be done adjacent to Los Angeles Avenue along
the frontage of the property such that all sheet
flows from Los Angeles Avenue shall be carried off
of the public right -of -way, transmitted along a
graded ditch adjacent to the road and eventually
emptied into the Happy Camp channel.

Further refinement of this plan can be done in the
field with the inspector (Ron Wilson) or John
Knipe in the City Engineer's office.
2. Nothing less than measurable progress on the
grading operation and the good faith effort on
your part will enable us to rescind our directive
that your project is in default of the conditions
that have been stated on the plan. If an
immediate effort to begin work to finalize the
grading is not begun, we have no choice but to
contact the bonding company and notify them of the
default.
Your immediate attention to the above items is
requested and if there should be any questions, please
contact either R. Dennis Delzeit or myself at (805)
653 -6597.
Very truly yours,
CITY OF MOORPARK
