TO: THE HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL BY
FROM: DIRK LOVETT, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
(Prepared by Chris Oberender, Associat Engineer)
DATE: OCTOBER 8, 1997 (MEETING OF OCTOBER 15, 1997)
SUBJECT: CONSIDER SOIL EXPORT REQUEST AND ALTERNATE HAUL ROUTE
(PAUL BURNS)
BACKGROUND
The applicant (Paul Burns) previously requested the City to allow
him to export approximately 50,000 cubic yards of earth to the
proposed elementary school located at Casey Road. At its March 19,
1997 meeting the City Council approved his request.
Since that time, the School District has negotiated the import of
all the fill material it needs to complete the work at Casey Road
from another source. As a result, the applicant is requesting
that he be allowed to haul the material to an alternate location,
yet to be determined.
Because no new export site has been confirmed, Mr. Burns requests
that the material be transported south on Gabbert Rd.to Los
Angeles Avenue and then proceed either east on Los Angeles Avenue
to SR -23 or west on Los Angeles Avenue out of the City (see
Exhibit 1). The proposed alternate haul routes will provide the
applicant the flexibility to negotiate contracts for destinations
outside the City limits of Moorpark.
Staff estimates that there will be about 4,200 truck trips
associated with this haul operation.
DISCUSSION
Staff has reviewed the applicant's grading plan and is prepared to
issue a grading /export permit as soon as a destination for the
export material is known by the applicant. Use of the proposed
haul route will utilize Gabbert Road only, minimizing truck
traffic on City streets.
It is standard practice to require a surety for such operations,
not only for on -site grading but for clean -up and potential repair
to City streets. In addition to the grading surety, staff
recommends that a $10,000 surety be submitted for any necessary
repairs or street sweeping required on Gabbert Road. In addition
staff recommends that the permit be valid for a period of one year
from the Council's approval . Following are staff's recommended
conditions:
