[ 5c � CHULl� VISTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF: JUIy 9, 1974 ITEM TITLE: Resolution - Approving tentative map of Windsor Views Subdivision (PCS-74-1 ) INITIATED BY: Director of Planning A. BACKGROUND 1 . This tentative map is the last of three agenda items for this meeting on the Windsor Views property. The rezoning request and PUD site plan have already been considered. A copy of the tentative map is enclosed in the Council packets. 2. The history of the earlier proposal , the current proposal , and completion of the EIR is covered in the PUD staff report (preceding item), and will not be repeated here. In brief summary, the tentative map subdivides the 18.9 acre property into 58 lots--56 residential , one common open space, and one lot con- taining the 2 acre parcel south of Telegraph Canyon Road. The map also dedicates the necessary right of way for Telegraph Canyon Road (126' ) and the drainage channel (120' ). B. ANALYSIS 1 . Certain revisions will need to be made to the tentative map to conform to the PUD site plan, including approved 12:1 slopes; realignment of Court C travelway; and further revisions called for by the Engineering Division. 2. Carculation. a. The developer proposes to construct a temporary access road into the project. The only disadvantage to this is that "temporary" roads are difficult to remove. This becomes important in view of the City's policy that direct (continued on supplemental page) ATTACHED: Resolution [ ] Ordinance [ ] Agreement [ ] Plat [X?� See EXHIBITS [X] No. 1-2-3 Financial Statement: Commission-Board Recommendation: The Planning Commissi0n voted 5-2 on May 22, 1974 recommending that the City Council approve Windsor Views Tentative Map PCS-74-1 , subject to the conditions set forth in the attached letter dated May 24, 1974. Department Head Recommendation: C011CU1". City Manager Recommendation: . An alternative is proposed whereby the developer may build a temporary road. The City would be better served with a permanent access road. The City Attorney has submitted an additional report on this subject. ���lo�`� , • 4, ' • , � ' �� • • . ,e +..r�«.c"...s..+M,...cw.::.�a�wr.za.a.. r_. ,:,� .,._. .. . b � . AGEN�DA ITEM N0. 5c Supplemental Page No. 2 . �� � access points to major streets are to be minimized. Accordingly, the developer will be required to construct permanent access by going offsite to the east and connecting with the designated collector street. As an alternative, the developer may build the temporary road and post surety bonds for (1 ) construction of the permanent streets, and (2) removal of the temporary road. b. The frontage road will be improved up to Street "A". The remaining right of way will be graded by the developer so that the road can be extended, when required, to the westerly boundary. c. The internal circulation system is acceptable, except that the median parking in Court C shall be removed to eliminate the traffic hazard. 3. Drainage. The developer will dedicate, grade, and landscape the 120' right of way of the drainage channel . The City Council has determined that a grass-lined channel will adequately carry flood waters through the property. 4. Grading. The preliminary grading plan (part of the tentative map) shows 2:1 slopes or flatter throughout. In order to expand the size of the usable open areas, 12:1 slopes will be permitted in selected areas having smaller readily accessible slopes. Rounding of tops and toes of slopes will be required. 5. Earthquake Faults. An "inactive" minor fault was found on the property. The Soils Engineer has recommended that, should other faults be found during grading operations, which are "active", the site plan (and grading plan) be revised so that no structure is built within 25' on either side of such fault trace. 6. Noise Impact. The EIR states that the "normally unacceptable" noise from Telegraph Canyon Road will ultimately extend into the project, a distance of 385' , from centerline. , Mitigating measures to shield the houses and patios from this impact will consist of 42' masonry walls and landscaped berms at the top of the slopes nearest Telegraph Canyon Road. 7. School Facilities. Neither school district has indicated that agreement with the developer has been reached so that adequate school facilities will be available. Under Council policy, evidence of such agreement must be provided to satisfy City Council Reso- lution No. 6762 regarding adequacy of public facilities before the Council approves the tentative map. 8. Fire Protection. Provision for emergency water supplies should be investigated as soon as pos- sible by the developer in conjunction with the Fire Department and the Otay Municipal Water District. 9. Parkland In-Lieu Fees. A future park is shown schematically in the vicinity of this site on the General Plan, but this site does not lend itself to location of a park site, nor would the amount of land produced by the 56 units (.35 acre) amount to a functional park site; therefore, the in-lieu fees method is the best option and would produce $12,960 for use in acquiring and developing park land within the park service area surrounding the project. ����� � 4 �' '�. �� ..:. x�..% .... .. .'. . ... . . . ��...�,.�..�.-........ .. .. .
