KANE City Attorney PATRICK RICHARDS, A.I.C.P. Director of Community Development R. DENNIS DELZEIT City Engineer JOHN V. GILLESPIE Chief of Police THOMAS P. GENOVESE City Treasurer R. Dennis Delzeit, City Engineer May 25, 1988 Tract 3963 (Griffin) - Collins Drive Right -of -Way Adjacent to Mormon Church BACKGROUND INFORMATION The conditions of development for Tract No. 3963 (Griffin) require that Collins Drive be constructed per the enclosed Exhibit "A" prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the 70th unit of the project. Resolution 87 -395 deferred construction of these improvements to Collins Drive south of the tract boundary to July 1, 1988. In order to construct Collins Drive as conditioned, Griffin Homes must obtain right -of -way between Benwood Drive and the southern tract boundary from the existing Mormon Church. This right -of -way consists of land required immediately in order to construct Collins Drive as shown on Exhibit "A ", plus an additional 9 feet of right -of -way for the construction of a future southbound lane. Griffin Homes has attempted to acquire the required right - of -way from the Mormon Church. The church has refused to dedicate any land for Collins Drive, but agreed to reconsider the dedication if the City would waive the right to require the additional 9 feet of right -of -way for the future southbound lane. (Refer to the enclosed letter from Mr. Robert Woods.) The purpose of the additional 9 feet of right -of -way is to provide for a future 12 foot southbound lane to Collins Drive, if required. 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529 -6864 Page -2- It would be possible to provide an additional southbound lane along this section of Collins Drive without acquiring the additional 9 feet of right -of -way if (see Exhibit "B ", enclosed): 1. The 8 foot bike /parking lane on the west side of Collins Drive is reduced to a 5 foot bike lane (no parking permitted). 2. The 10 foot painted median is reduced to 5 feet in width. 3. The proposed 12 foot travel lanes are reduced to 11 feet. The developer's engineer has submitted a proposed striping plan which shows that this proposed section is feasible and compatible with the street sections to the north and south. The advantages of using the reduced section shown in Exhibit "B" is that eminent domain proceedings may be avoided. The disadvantages include: 1. A dedicated southbound left turn lane adjacent to the church is not feasible. 2. No parking will be permitted on Collins Drive along the church frontage. 3. 11 foot travel lanes are acceptable but not as preferrable as 12 foot lanes. The major modification for Tract 3963 required these improvements to be constructed by July 1, 1988. Because of the difficulties encountered in obtaining right -of -way, this schedule is no longer possible. RECOMMENDED ACTION 1. In order to construct Collins Drive without undue delay and to cooperate with the existing property owner: Waive the required extra 9 feet of right -of -way dedication. - If a second southbound lane is required, construct Collins Drive as shown in Exhibit "B" between the southern tract boundary and Benwood Drive. Page -3- 2. Require that Collins Drive between the southern tract boundary and Benwood Drive be completed by September 1, 1988. •• .• ing • ii , �, ' i JFK: CL: go cc: Steve Kueny, City Manager Elaine Freeman, Griffin Homes JN 30167 amo686.mem 11'tl t7e9 1. i I x 9,9eq xg-g 4p. 1Jj OTT 9,8e9, -- - - -- ------------- ........ ...... . . . . . .

Freeman Griffin Homes Developers 24005 Ventura Blvd. Calabasas, CA 91302 RE: TT3963, Campus Hills LDS Project #516 -2564 & 517 -9483 Dear Ms. Freeman: We have carefully considered the request contained in your letter of December 7, 1987 regarding the dedication of church property for, (1) actual street improvements, and (2) a future right of way. We do not believe that this action is in the best interest of the Church and therefore must regretfully decline your proposal. We are grateful for the cordial relationship that has existed between the Church and Griffin Homes and appreciate the help that you have given us in the past. May I suggest that the Church be asked to reconsider the dedication of the actual improvement area if the City of Moorpark would waive the right to require the further dedication of any church property in the future.
