Discussion
4928 Phase 1
With the exception of model homes for the project, located in
this phase, there are no developed sites within the project.
Walnut Canyon, Grimes Canyon and an unnamed tributary to Grimes
Canyon dominate the landforms of the project site. Significant
portions of the project will be left in their natural state. The
vegetation on the undisturbed areas of the site includes coastal
sage scrub, non - native and disturbed grasslands, alluvial fan
scrub and minor stands of trees.
A grading permit for the project was issued under the authority
of an early grading agreement. The developer is presently
grading the entire subdivision. Grading within the westerly
portion of the project is largely complete. Rough grading on
the easterly portion is well underway. Grading of the right -of-
way for Championship Drive, which connects Grimes Canyon Road
and Walnut Canyon Road, is nearing completion. Street and other
infrastructure improvements will be installed consistent with
City Council approval.
Phase 1 of the subdivision creates 6 single family residential
lots, 3 lots for golf course use, 3 lots for open space and
manufactured slopes, 1 lot for a golf driving range and 1 lot
for a private street and offers Championship Drive and portions
of Grimes Canyon Road and Walnut Canyon Road and various
easements for dedication. The Phase 1 map also provides for the
abandonment of all easements and offers of dedication of right -
of -ways previously acquired by the City of Moorpark or Ventura
County within Phase 1 of the subdivision
Street names for the development follow a golfing theme. The
east - west public street between Grimes Canyon Road and Walnut
Canyon Road is proposed to be called Championship Drive. The
other streets within the development will have the surname of
famous golfers, of both genders. Street names will be assigned
from the following list:

District. A map showing the street names for this phase of the
subdivision is attached as Exhibit `B'
All streets directly serving residences will be private. The
only public street within the project is Championship Drive.

dedication and will be constructed as a part of Phase 1. The
design of all streets is consistent with Ventura County
Standards, except for the modifications previously granted by
