I<' STEVEN KUENY City Manager CHERYL J.KANE City Attorney PATRICK RICHARDS, A.I.C.P. Director of Community Development R. DENNIS DELZEIT City Engineer JOHN V. GILLESPIE Chief of Police RICHARD T. HARE City Treasurer SUBJECT: Authorization to Sign Caltrans Required Encroachment Permits and Process Conveyance of Rights -of -Way to Caltrans BACKGROUND On development projects adjacent to State Highways, the City and /or Caltrans often condition the applicant for the dedication of additional street right -of -way (ROW) . Caltrans has a practice of not accepting such offers of dedication until all required street improvements are constructed and accepted by them. DISCUSSION The City is presently constructing improvements on SR 118 (Los Angeles) in a project known as the Los Angeles Avenue West project from approximately Park Lane to Maureen Lane. This project is funded by Los Angeles Avenue AOC funds. Several previously approved development projects fronting the north side of Los Angeles Avenue (SR 118) between Shasta Avenue and Maureen Lane have signed deferred construction agreements for the frontage improvements and submitted to the City (and City as successor to the County) offers of dedication for SR 118 ROW. City Staff is working with the developers of the development projects to complete their frontage improvements. Before work can commence on some of the properties, Caltrans is requiring the City, in addition to the developers, to sign the Caltrans encroachment permit. The City has not previously signed encroachment permits when it was not a City project. We do not foresee a problem with 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529 -6864 4 The Honorable City Council November 21, 1990 Page 2 this, but intend to obtain an indemnification and hold harmless from the benefitting developer. In addition, we need to develop a process to have the ROW dedication conveyed to Caltrans as quickly as possible upon completion of street improvements. STAFF RECOMMENDATION 1. Authorize City Staff to sign Caltrans encroachment permit when necessary to allow developer to construct improvements to State Highways. Require the developer to provide the City with appropriate hold harmless and indemnification. 2. Direct City Staff to proceed with necessary work to enable City to convey all offers of dedication on City ROW and easements adjacent to State Highways to Caltrans upon completion of street improvements.
