AGENDA REPORT
C = TY O F MOORPARK
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works
DATE: May 20, 1996 (Council Meeting 6 -5 -96)
SUBJECT: Consider Authorization to Advertise for Receipt of Bids
for the Construction of Street Along the West Side of
Poindexter Park and Naming of the Street
BACKGROUND
The Moorpark Redevelopment Agency (MRA) purchased the property west
of Chaparral Middle School in 1993. The southerly portion of the
property was sold and is being developed as commercial property.
The easterly portion of the property is being developed as
Poindexter Park. Construction of that park is almost complete. It
is the intent of the MRA to sell the westerly portion of the
property to a residential developer.
The plans for the development of these properties always
anticipated the construction of a north -south street along the
westerly boundary of Poindexter Park, to serve the both the park
and the future adjacent residential neighborhood. It was decided
the MRA should fund the construction of this street now, as opposed
to waiting to have the street constructed by the residential
developer at some point in the future.
DISCUSSION
A. Design
The subject project calls for the construction of a new street
extending south from Poindexter Avenue, along the westerly
frontage of Poindexter Park. The southerly terminus of the
street improvements will end at the south edge of the southerly
driveway to the parking lot for Poindexter Park. The
construction of a cul -de -sac at the south end of the street,
will be done by the future developer of the residential
property. Construction will include a storm drain extending
northerly from an existing storm drain in the Mission Bell
Plaza parking lot, to catch basins to be located just north of
the south driveway for the park parking lot.

B. Conveyance to the City
Staff will be proceeding with the preparation of a deed or map
to enable the MRA to convey to the City of Moorpark both the
Poindexter Park property as well as the subject street. It is
anticipated that this document will be presented to the City
Council for approval within the next few months.
C. Street Name
As you are aware, this property was owned by the Gisler family
and has become to be known as the Gisler field. In addition,
a "paper street" (deeded but not developed) in this area was
named Gisler Street. That street was vacated via the
recordation of maps and deeds conveying the property to the
MRA. It is recommended, therefore, the subject street be named
Gisler Street.
D. Plans and Specifications
A set of the plans and specifications for this project have
been placed in the City Council office for review and comment.
