ITEM TITLE:
INITIATED BY:
BACKGROUND
Resolution - Grant of Easement for Back-up Generator for
Booster Water Pump Station in Rancho Robinhood Subdivision
to Robert E. Casey
Acting Director of Public Works J„(
The City is requiring the developer of Rancho Robinhood Subdivision,
Robert E. Casey, to install a booster water pump station to meet fire
flow requirements to serve 14 lots at the highest elevation in the sub-
division. To guarantee that electrical power will be available at times
of interruptions of electrical service, the developer must also install
a back-up generator to supply electrical needs to the booster water pump
station.
The developer is making final arrangements with California-American Water
Company for the installation of a pump station. The pump station will be
installed in Lot "PJ", which belongs to the water company. Cal-Am Water
Company has requested that the back-up generator not be installed on their
property since they do not assume the responsibility of maintaining the
back-up generator. The developer, Robert E. Casey, has requested per-
mission from the City to construct the generator on Lot 115, which was
dedicated on the final map of the subdivision as open space. Lot 115 lies
within Chula Vista Open Space District #3. Permission to construct the
back-up generator on Lot 115 can be accomplished by the City granting an
easement to Robert E. Casey.
The landscape and irrigation plan for the subdivision does not show any
landscaping to be installed around the proposed pump station or back-up
generator. As of February 5, 1975, no information was available as to
what the back-up generator facility would look like. The developer is
soliciting proposals from various suppliers for a package unit and it is
anticipated that this unit would be enclosed within some type of shelter.

The back-up generator generally would not be visible to the public
view except from a portion of Surrey Drive at the westerly end of
Lot 115 n.a~ from the open space itself. .Even at this location the
proposed back-up generator would be at the top of an uphill slope
several hundred feet from the street.
The City Council, as a condition of granting the easement, may require
that the developer submit specific plans of the back-up generator to
the Planning Department for staff approval to ensure that the facility
blends into its surroundings.
A transparency is available for Council viewing.
