SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works/City Engineer
REVIEWED BY: City Manager (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
Last December it was reported to Council that in accordance with the
Development Agreement for EastLake, issuance of building permits had been
stopped. The Facilities Financing Plan, which was a part of the SPA approval
for EastLake, provided that only a certain number of building permits could be
issued prior to the commencement of construction for four lanes of pavement on
East "H" Street between I-805 and Otay Lakes Road.
Although the widening of East "H" Street in this location is ultimately the
responsibility of Rancho Del Rey, EastLake needs to have the road under
construction in order to receive further building permits. EastLake,
McMillin, Rick Engineering, and the City have been working diligently since
December to commence construction of this project.
McMillin Development Company (MDC) has agreed to complete the plans, get a
permit, and construct the drainage and grading improvements ahead of any
tentative map approvals for their development. They have also requested that
the City do a feasibility study to finance the six lanes of East "H" Street
between Terra Nova and Buena Vista by using an assessment district over their
properties. Although MDC is willing to commit to funding the grading ahead of
an assessment district and ahead of any tentative map approvals for El Rancho
Del Rey, they are not willing to commit to the entire six lanes improved prior
to tentative map approvals. It is the Planning Department' s estimate that the
SPA Plan and tentative map approvals won't be to Council for public hearings
until the latter part of August or early September.

Meeting Date 3/10/87
In order to release building permits for EastLake, City staff is insisting
that security in the form of bonds and agreements be provided to the City for
a minimum of four lanes of improved roadway (as provided for in the Facilities
Financing Plan for EastLake). Therefore, there is an additional agreement and
bond from EastLake to guarantee that the work of putting the pavement,
concrete, improvements, etc. on top of the grading will be commenced within 30
days upon completion of the grading.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve resolutions "a" through "e".
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
On October 28, 1986, Council approved agreements with consultants for the
preparation of a feasibility plan and implementation program for financing
certain public improvements for East "H" Street pursuant to the provisions of
the "Municipal Improvement Act of 1913" and approved an Assessment District
Reimbursement Agreement between the City and the Rancho Del Rey Partnership in
which the Partnership advanced $100,500.00 to pay all costs for necessary
consultants and an appraisal of the land proposed to be assessed.
In order for EastLake to continue to receive building permits, it is necessary
for the road to be under construction prior to the normal time that McMillin
would begin work on the roadway. McMillin Development Company is willing to
commit funds for grading and drainage on the roadway prior to any tentative
map approvals (vested rights for development), but they are not willing to go
any further until such time as a SPA Plan and the first tentative map have
been approved. In order to ensure that completion of the road project will be
guaranteed now, and to satisfy the needs of the McMillin Development Company,
EastLake Development Company, and the City in relation to enforcing the
Facilities Financing Plan for EastLake, the following items of work have been
completed.
1 . The engineers for the developers have completed the grading and drainage
plans for East "H" Street and the City has signed the plans.
2. McMillin will bond 100% of the grading costs and has a valid contract for
the grading and drainage work.
3. EastLake has prepared a bond and an agreement stating that should McMillin
not go forward within 30 days after the grading is completed with the
surface improvements so that four lanes of pavement can be on the ground,
the City would have a right to call that bond and finish four lanes of
improvements. Therefore, prior to construction of the roadway and release
of any further building permits, the City will have the road under
construction and be insured that there will be a minimum of four lanes of
pavement completed by guarantee per the development agreement with
EastLake.
Page 3, Item 8
Meeting Date 3/10/87
4. In consideration for the early commitment of a sizable amount of money by
the McMillin Development Company, they have requested that the City
Council adopt a Resolution of Intention reserving development credits for
Rancho Del Rey Partnership. This resolution (attached Item a, above)
would reserve 30,000 trips for SPA I which would relate to approximately
22,500 trips from SPA I on East "H" Street daily. Staff has reviewed the
numbers involved and concurs that with "H" Street at six lanes and the FBA
improvements at I-805 and East "H" Street, 22,500 trips can be handled at
a level of service of C on East "H" Street even with other development
expected in the City's eastern sector.
Resolution of Intention
McMillin Development Company's position is that prior to its expending $4
million for street improvements on East "H" Street that it be given some
assurances from the City that it can have at least 30,000 trips allocated for
their development. The total SPA I trips are approximately 40,000 trips,
while the remaining Rancho del Rey SPAs bring total trips for Rancho Del Rey
to 58,000. It is clear to everyone that prior to other roads being improved
in the eastern area including SR-125, Otay Lakes Road, Telegraph Canyon Road,
etc. , Rancho Del Rey cannot be completely built out. Therefore, their
position is that before they commit to $4 million, they want to have a
reasonable amount of trips designated for them instead of some other
developer. The resolution further provides that as other highway in the
eastern areas are completed, i .e. , SR-125 and other streets as mentioned
above, and trips are removed from East "H" Street MDC will be given equitable
treatment to be able to continue the development of their project.
In 1980, the Gersten Companies entered into an agreement with the City for the
construction of East "H" Street. This agreement provided a system whereby
East "H" Street would be installed on a pay-as-you-go basis. The City of
Chula Vista contributed approximately $1 .7 million towards that effort,
$700,000 of which was considered to be a City contribution. It was fully the
intent of the City to be paid back $1 .2 million based on the trip generation
rates of the 1978 General Development Plan for El Rancho Del Rey. Since that
time, it has been proposed that a Facilities Benefit Assessment District
originally created for EastLake would be spread over the entire eastern area.
McMillin objects to being required to put in four lanes of East "H" Street
under an assessment district, and also pay the City back $1 . 9 million, and
furthermore be required to pay the full amount for the FBA. They feel it
would be more equitable since McMillin has done no development in Rancho Del
Rey and there are currently 17,000 trips on the road, to have the FBA pay back
the City its funds. The resolution does not resolve this issue; however, it
does state that the City staff is directed to bring back a proposal to include
in the East Chula Vista Benefits Assessment District the sums which are
reimbursable to the City pursuant to the 1980 "H" Street Agreement. Staff
believes that is reasonable. The consultants that are updating the FBA for
the eastern area have been instructed to take these concerns into
consideration.

Assessment District for Rancho Del Rey
The consultants have completed a financial feasibility analysis for the
construction of four additional lanes to East "H" Street including full width
grading and associated drainage and parkways, curb and gutter, sidewalk,
street lights, traffic signals, guardrail , and raised landscaped median with
decorative concrete for a length of approximately 9,900 feet. Also included
were appurtenant water, sewer, storm drain and utility structures. The above
facilities would be constructed by the Rancho Del Rey Partnership and
"acquired" by the City when construction is completed.
The petition also proposes and the feasibility analysis considered the
construction under a City-administered public contract, the construction and
installation of the Rice Canyon Sewer and the construction of the storm
drainage system in the canyon with associated revegetation.
The following is a summary of the proposed improvements and the estimated
costs:
East "H" Street
Street $3,991 ,431
Water 1 ,054,216
Sewer 93,158
Storm drain 792,051
Utilities 1 ,647,075
Sub-Total $7,577,931
Contingencies (+15%) 1 ,136,690
TOTAL $8, /I4,621
Rice Canyon Sewer and Drainage
Sewer $ 344,500
Drainage structures 679,000
Sub-Total $1 ,023,500
Contingencies (+15%) 153,525
TOTAL $1 ,177,025
The total cost of improvements and incidentals (reserve fund, design,
inspection consultants, etc. ) will require a bond sale of about $12 million.
The financial consultant (Kadie-Jensen and Johnson) has completed a "Value to
Lien Ratio Analysis" to make a determination as to the financial feasibility
of the proposed assessment district. This analysis relates the value of the
property after the proposed improvements are constructed to the amount of the
assessment which will be levied against the property. The analysis shows
that lien ratios are substantial for the properties within the assessment
district with the exception of the "School/Church" parcel which is marginal at
1 to 1 .69 but still within the range of acceptability. In the final analysis,
the consultant has concluded that the proposed assessment district is
financially feasible and that bonds proposed to be issued will be well secured.

were appurtenant water, sewer, storm drain and utility structures. The above
facilities would be constructed by the Rancho Del Rey Partnership and
"acquired" by the City when construction is completed.
The petition also proposes and the feasibility analysis considered the
construction under a City-administered public contract, the construction and
installation of the Rice Canyon Sewer and the construction of the storm
drainage system in the canyon with associated revegetation.
The following is a summary of the proposed improvements and the estimated
costs:
East "H" Street
Street $3,991 ,431
Water 1 ,054,216
Sewer 93,158
Storm drain 792,051
Utilities 1 ,647,075
Sub-Total $7,577,931
Contingencies (+15%) 1 ,136,690
TOTAL $8, 114,621
Rice Canyon Sewer and Drainage
Sewer $ 344,500
Drainage structures 679,000
Sub-Total $1 ,023, 500
Contingencies (+15%) 153,525
TOTAL $1 ,177,025
The total cost of improvements and incidentals (reserve fund, design,
inspection consultants, etc. ) will require a bond sale of about $12 million.
The financial consultant (Kadie-Jensen and Johnson) has completed a "Value to
Lien Ratio Analysis" to make a determination as to the financial feasibility
of the proposed assessment district. This analysis relates the value of the
property after the proposed improvements are constructed to the amount of the
assessment which will be levied against the property. The analysis shows
that lien ratios are substantial for the properties within the assessment
district with the exception of the "School/Church" parcel which is marginal at
1 to 1 .69 but still within the range of acceptability. In the final analysis,
the consultant has concluded that the proposed assessment district is
financially feasible and that bonds proposed to be issued will be well secured.
