RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA AUTHORIZING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A PIPE GATE
AND ADDITIONAL POSTS TO PREVENT VEHICULAR ACCESS
ON CITY PROPERTY IN THE D STREET/FIRST AVENUE AREA
WHEREAS, at the April 16, 1996 Council meeting, the City Council revoked an
encroachment permit issued to Ms. Bettie Warren for a fence and gate across a City owned
parcel of land north of the intersection of "D" Street and First Avenue; and
WHEREAS, the conditions of the revocation, however, allowed the gate to remain in
place until staff was able to return with a report on alternatives to prevent vehicular access
so long as pedestrian access was not interfered with; and
WHEREAS, the two alternatives, the existing chain link gate and the installation of a
pipe gate, were considerable viable; and
WHEREAS, while the last alternative of placing a pipe gate is more costly than leaving
the existing fence in place, it is less visually displeasing than the chain link gate and is sturdier
and less prone to damage by vehicles running into them and would have only one lock for City
crews and police and fire personnel to unlock to gain access to the area; and
WHEREAS, the cost of purchasing and installing the pipe gate is estimated at
approximately ~400, however, including the additional posts that would be required to
prevent motorcycles from going around and removing the existing gate and fence posts, the
total cost is estimated to be approximately $1,000, therefore, staff recommends the pipe gate
alternative to prevent unauthorized vehicular access to the City parcel.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby authorize the construction of a pipe gate and additional posts to prevent vehicular
access on City property in the D Street/First Avenue area.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that City staff is hereby directed to remove the illegal
fences immediately.
