MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Patrick J. Richards, Director of Community Development �p r
.e..„1.
DATE: December 21, 1990 (CC Meeting of 1-9-91) RIR
SUBJECT: VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 4620 - JBH DEVELOPMENT
COMPANY
Background
The City Council held a public hearing for the above referenced
project on December 19, 1990 . The Council closed the public
hearing and then continued the project to your January 9, 1991,
meeting to allow time for the Community Development Committee to
meet regarding proposed lot envelope areas on 20 percent or greater
slopes . The Council also directed staff to revise Conditions 33,
55e, 59 , and 119 .
Discussion
The Community Development Committee met with the applicant and
staff on December 20, 1990, and the Committee recommended
relocating the lot envelopes on Lots 5, 28, 29, 30, 31, and 52 to
minimize grading of 20 percent and greater slopes . Condition No.
96 has been revised to require these revisions to the Lot Envelope
Plan.
Condition 33 has been revised to reflect the requirement that 24
feet of pavement and 4 foot graded shoulders be provided for Aspen
Hills Drive. Condition No. 55e has been revised to clarify that
contaminated or hazardous soil may be used for on-site soil fill or
roadway subgrade if the State Department of Health Services
determines that it has been treated to a level that is no longer
considered a public health risk. Condition No. 59 has been revised
to further clarify design requirements for the intersection of "A"
Street and Walnut Canyon Road. Condition No. 119 has been revised
to require dedication of equestrian easements on the final map.

The Honorable City Council
December 21, 1990

In addition to the Council-requested revisions, staff has added an
additional condition, No. 120, which requires the Tract 4620
Homeowners ' Association to be responsible for one half of the
maintenance costs for Aspen Hills Drive. This condition should
only be imposed if Aspen Hills Drive will be used as a full or
partial secondary access for Tract 4620.
The Council did not reach a consensus at its December 19th meeting
regarding whether or not Tract 4620 residents should be allowed
full (ingress and egress) , partial (egress only) , or emergency
access only onto Aspen Hills Drive. The Council may want to add a
condition of approval which provides direction as to the type of
locking system that should be designed for the gate proposed at the
westerly project boundary.
The Fire Department has identified that there are many different
types of gate systems that could be designed to restrict but not
prohibit access. Regardless of the Council's decision on the
Aspen Hills Drive gate, staff recommends that both of the proposed
gates have an emergency access panel on each side to allow ingress
and egress in an emergency. To ensure that this emergency access
switch will not be used indiscriminately, it could be connected to
an alarm system. Staff also recommends addition of a condition
which would ensure that City staff (code enforcement officers,
police officers, building inspectors, etc. ) would have the right to
enter onto the private roads in Tract No. 4620 at any time.
Pursuant to the Council 's direction, staff has prepared a draft
resolution of approval and a draft resolution of denial without
prejudice (attached) . The revised conditions of approval are
attached to the resolution of approval. Based on the Community
Development Committee's recommendation regarding relocation of six
lot envelope areas to minimize hillside grading, staff is
recommending that the Council find the project consistent with the
General Plan and approve Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 4620 .
Recommendation
1 . Direct staff as deemed appropriate in regard to revising or
adding conditions of approval related to use and maintenance
of Aspen Hills Drive and allowing City staff access to private
roads in the subdivision.
2 . Approve the Negative Declaration.
3 . Approve the Mitigation Monitoring Program
4. Make the appropriate findings including General Plan
consistency (see pages 11 and 12 or November 9, 1990, Planning
Commission staff report) .

SUBJECT: VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 4620 - JBH DEVELOPMENT
COMPANY
Attached is a letter from JBH Development Company requesting a
revision to draft condition No. 119 regarding dedication of
equestrian trails . Staff does not agree with the revision
requested by the applicant. It is not clear as to what constitutes
an "equestrian trail system and a "network. " Adding language to
condition No. 119 which will further impede the acceptance of the
dedication of the equestrian easements is not recommended.

Re: Tentative Tract 4620
Agenda Item #9A
Gentlemen:
Condition number 119 as submitted by staff currently reads as
follows:
119. The Final Map shall show all equestrian easements included
on the Vesting Tentative Map and shall include a dedication
offer to the City of Moorpark, Santa Monica Mountains
Conservancy and other similar State agencies for all
identified equestrian easements. Said dedication shall
stipulate that any agency accepting ownership of the
equestrian easements shall also accept liability and
maintenance responsibility.
We respectfully request that the following alternative wording be
used for condition number 119:
"The Final Map shall show all equestrian easements included
on the Vesting Tentative Map and the CC&R' s shall include
the following language:
The Homeowners Association shall offer for dedication all
equestrian easements shown on the Vesting Tentative Map to
the City of Moorpark, Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy or
other similar State agencies, when an equestrian trail
system has been adopted by the appropriate agency, that will
connect this tract and other properties together in a
network.
Said offer of dedication shall be conditioned upon the
agency accepting ownership of the equestrian easements and
also accepting liability and maintenance responsibility.
If requested by the City, the Homeowners Association shall
place of record a document setting forth the provision of
this condition. "
Thank you very much for yourr�consideration.
