AGENDA REPORT
C = TY OF MOORPARK
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works
DATE: October 28, 1996 (Council Meeting 11 -6 -96) ,v:` ff�? -Q.
SUBJECT: Consider the Naming of a Street to be Constructed PloXZ
the West Side of Poindexter Park and the Timing for the ii AOI
Construction of that Street (Gisler Street) W.
1. The Moorpark Redevelopment Agency (MRA) purchased the propert
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 has been
developed as Poindexter Park. It is the intent of the MRA to
sell the westerly portion of the property to a residential
developer.
2. 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 both the park
and the future adjacent residential neighborhood. The question
is whether the MRA should proceed with the construction of this
street in the near term, or wait and have the street
constructed by the residential developer at some point in the
future.
3. On June 5, 1996, the City Council considered approval of the
plans and specifications for the construction of this street.
The matter was tabled.
4. The City Council has requested that this matter be
reconsidered.
A. Conveyance to the City
The actual street right -of -way does not yet exist. The
majority of the right -of -way required for the proposed street
is within the property owned by the MRA. The City Engineer has
prepared legal descriptions for Deeds conveying both the
Poindexter Park property and the subject street right -of -way to
the City. It is the intent of staff to present those Deeds to
the City Council for approval and recordation in the near
future.

A ten feet (101) wide strip along the east side of the street
just south of Poindexter Avenue is to be granted to the City by
the adjacent property owner (the Gisler family). The
Redevelopment Manager is working with the Gisler family to
acquire the ten feet (101) wide strip. If this ten feet (101)
wide strip is not acquired prior to the construction of street
improvements, it will be necessary to modify the design of the
street or delete the construction of the curb, gutter and
sidewalk in this area.
B. Street Name
As you may be aware, this property used to be owned by the
Gisler family and has come 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.
C. Project Design
A set of improvement plans has been completed for the entire
length of the street. From those plans, staff has outlined a
project for the construction of a portion of the street
improvements included in that design. That project calls for
the construction of street improvements from Poindexter Avenue
southerly to the south edge of the south driveway to the
Poindexter Park parking lot. The construction of a cul -de -sac
at the south end of the street would be done by the future
developer of the residential property. Initial street
improvements 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.
D. Utility Pole
One of the elements of work will be the relocation of the power
pole located near the southeast corner of the new street and
Poindexter Avenue. It will be necessary for the City to pay
for the relocation of this pole by the Southern California
Edison Company.

E. Future Underground Utilities
Should the City proceed at this time with the construction of
the project described in Section C above, the street will be
constructed in advance of the design and construction of
underground utilities to be placed in this street to serve the
future residential area. When that residential project is
constructed, it will be necessary to excavate and place those
utilities in this street.
F. Street Lights
In order for the Southern California Edison Company (SCE) to
design and install street lights along this street, it will be
necessary for the City to record the Deed conveying this street
from the MRA to the City.
G. Design Options
Two Options are available to proceed with construction prior to
the placement of underground utilities. A discussion of these
two options is as follows:
Option 11 - Defer Top Course of A /C: If it is anticipated that
the underground utilities for the residential area just west of
the proposed street will be constructed within the next two
years, it is recommended that the top one inch (111) of asphalt
pavement be deferred and installed by separate contract
subsequent to this work.
Option 12 - Future Overlay: If it is anticipated that the
underground utilities for the residential area just west of the
proposed street will NOT be constructed within the next two
years, it is recommended that the subject project provide for
full improvements. If deemed necessary after the trenching and
placement of all six utilities (water, sewer, gas, power,
telephone and CATV) , the City could consider a project to grind
the edges and construct an asphalt overlay.
Cost Differential: Option #2 would require more than one inch
(111) of asphalt, the possible installation of reinforcing
fabric and grinding at the lip of gutter. The net cost of
Option #2 would be these costs less the cost of the deferred
top one inch of asphalt called for by Option #1. The estimated
amount of the net costs of Option #2 over Option #1 is
approximately $15,000.

Hidden Costs: The date of the construction of the residential
development is unknown. Deferring the top one inch (111) of
pavement would leave a "ridge line" at the lip of the gutter
which interferes with drainage and poses a potential tripping
hazard. This practice is acceptable in the short term during
the construction of a project. It is not recommended for long
periods of time due the problems it may cause.
Conclusion: If it is anticipated that construction of the
residential project may not proceed in a timely fashion, it is
recommended that the City Council select Option #2.
H. fiscal Impact
1. Construction Cost Estimate: The Engineer's Estimate of
probable construction costs is $150,000. Other costs
include the relocation of the power pole.
2. Total Project Cost Estimate: A summary of the total project
cost estimate is as follows:
Element Cost Est. (S)
Construction 150,000
Misc (SCE, Etc) 20,000
Contingency (10s) 15,000
Admin & Inspection 15,000
Future Costs 200,000
Plus Prior Year Design Costs 17,000
Total Project Costs 217,000
3. Budget: There is no approved budget for this project. If
this project is approved, it is recommended that the budget
be amended at the time bids are considered.

of the street right -of -way for this project.
3. Approve Design Option #2 as described in Section G of this
report, direct staff to finalize the project plans and
specification and present same to the City Council within
thirty (30) days for approval and authorization to advertise
for receipt of bids.
