DATE: MARCH 11, 1997 (MEETING OF MARCH 19, 19'977 I
ACTION:
SUBJECT: CONSIDER EXPORT REQUEST (PAUL BURNS)
RW
BACKGROUND
The applicant (Paul Burns) has requested the City to allow him to
export approximately 50,000 cubic yards of earth to the proposed
elementary school located at Casey Road. Staff was also notified by
Moorpark Unified School District of its intentions to grade and
import soil to the school site on Casey Road. The School District has
submitted plans to the City for preliminary review. Staff informed
the District that plans were incomplete on 1/31/97. No subsequent
submittal has been received as of 3/11/97.
Approximately two-thirds of the material proposed to be exported from
the Burns site was received from a nearby Flood Control
sediment/detention facility and stockpiled for agricultural grading.
Because of this stockpiled soil's unsuitability for agricultural
purposes and because of the School District's need for at least this
amount of fill for grading at the school site, the applicant has
opted to export this material to the school instead of using it for
the grading on the agricultural land. In addition to the stockpiled
soil, approximately one third of the requested export amount is
native soil. Removal of the native soil will require a maximum cut of
3 feet over an area of roughly 450 feet by 300 feet. This native
material is located underneath the existing stockpiles and will be
removed in such a way as to blend with the existing contours at that
location. A grading plan depicting this work has also been
submitted to the Engineering department for its review. No export is
proposed until the school grading plan has been reviewed and a
grading permit is issued.
Mr. Burns has submitted a proposed haul route for the City's
approval. The route is shown on the attached Exhibit 1. Trucks will
be loaded at his property then proceed across Gabbert Road, just
north of the railroad track crossing. After crossing Gabbert Road
the trucks will proceed along the north side of Ventura County Flood
Control District's levee road, adjacent to the Hitch Ranch property,
then enter the southwest corner of the School District property.
Staff estimates that there will be about 4,200 truck trips associated
with this haul operation. The applicant has indicated that minor
brush removal will be done in two areas adjacent to the haul road to
facilitate a two way passing area for the trucks along the haul route
(See Exhibit 2). This brush removal activity will be limited to the
areas shown and will require no grading within the Hitch Ranch
property (Specific Plan Area W .
ANALYSIS
Staff has reviewed the applicant's site excavation plan and is
prepared to issue an export grading permit for the source location.
Use of the proposed haul route will eliminate truck traffic from the
City streets and downtown area at High Street and Moorpark Avenue.
Due to the large number of loaded trucks crossing Gabbert Road, it is
anticipated that the crossing area may incur some damage. The area
of potential damage is limited to the Gabbert Road and staff has
estimated that a $5,000 cash security will be sufficient for any
necessary repairs at this location. Staff has notified the applicant
that this security will be a requirement of the encroachment permit.
Mr. Burns has stated that he is willing to comply with the
requirement.
Mr. Burns has provided staff with information regarding approvals
from the owners of the properties on the haul route. These documents
indicate that the owners (Ventura County Flood Control and Hitch
Ranch) would be willing to grant Mr. Burns permission to haul across
their properties. These approvals are contingent upon certain of
their conditions which Mr. Burns must still meet.
It is Staff's opinion that the City also impose the following
conditions:
Grading Permit Conditions
Prior to the issuance of a Grading Permit the applicant
shall:
Submit a $5000 cash deposit or other approved security for road
repairs to Gabbert Road; verify that a grading permit has been
given to the Moorpark Unified School District for the proposed
grading work on Casey Road; and confirm all private rights of
entry for the proposed haul rate.
During grading/export operations the applicant shall:
Observe normal construction hours allowed by City codes;
Regularly water the haul road to eliminate dust at all times
and; Cover or water all truck loads prior to leaving the loading
area; and comply with all other conditions normally applicable
to grading and encroachment permits as required and monitored by
the City Engineering and Planning Departments.
Staff will condition the permit to require Mr. Burns not begin export
operations until the School District has been issued a City grading
permit for the proposed work at the school site and that he submit
proof to the City that he has been granted right of entry for the
proposed haul route.
1 11

2) Approve the haul route as shown in Exhibit 1.
