ITEM TITLE: Resolution //3 Approving Encroachment Permit No. PE019,
Bonita Ponderosa Mod 1 Homes sign
SUBMITTED BY: City Engineer (4/5ths Vote: Yes No x )
REVIEWED BY: City Manager,
In May of 1980, the City Council approved an encroachment permit to allow
Ponderosa Homes to erect a sign within the City's open space. One of the
conditions of approval was that the permit would expire upon the date that the
City assumed responsibility of the open space. Recently, Ponderosa Homes was
notified that the City is presently contracting with a landscaping firm to
maintain this open space and that the sign was to be removed.
On June 29, 1983, this department reviewed a letter from Harvey & Company,
Outdoor Advertising, acting as agent for Ponderosa Homes, requesting
permission to maintain the sign in its present location for an additional two
years.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Council approve a temporary encroachment permit
and authorize the City Engineer to issue said permit.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Early in 1980, Ponderosa Homes applied for an encroachment permit to place a
model homes sign within the City' s Open Space Lot No. 253 in Rancho Robinhood
III Subdivision. At that time, this open space landscaping was not being
maintained by the City. By Resolution No. 10049, adopted by Council at its
meeting on May 1, 1980, this encroachment permit request was approved.
One of the conditions added to the permit was that the permit would expire
upon the City' s assumption of the open space maintenance. The City has since
assumed maintenance of this portion of open space in Rancho Robinhood III.
By letter dated May 16, 1983, Ponderosa Homes was notified of the expiration
of the permit and directed to remove the sign. They responded with a letter
requesting renewal of the permit. They have paid the required $200 fee in
accordance with Ordinance 1836.
The sign has been in place for over three years and has not caused any
problems. Ponderosa Homes has maintained and will continue to maintain the
sign and the landscaping immediately surrounding the sign. The existence of
this sign is very beneficial to Ponderosa Homes as they are still selling
homes within the subdivision. The sign is causing us no problems in our
maintenance efforts.

Neither the City Landscape Architect or the Director of Parks and Recreation
have any objections to the extension of the permit.
It is recommended that the encroachment permit be approved and limited to a
two-year period, at which time the sign will be removed or another extension
applied for.
Slides are available for Council viewing.
