The lot is located at the corner of Hidden Vista Drive and Smoky Circle in Hidden Vista Village Subdivision, now known as Terra Nova. The Chula Vista Municipal Code requires that encroachments such as this must be considered by the Council for approval. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve the subject Encroachment Permit PE031 and authorize the City Engineer to issue same. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: When the subdivision map of Hidden Vista Village was recorded, Lot No. 319 was deeded to the City for a fire station site. The lot is located at the corner of Hidden Vista Drive and Smoky Circle. Since that time, however, the fire station site was relocated. Subsequently, the lot was subdivided into three lots, two each for single family dwellings, and a third parcel being created for open space use (Parcel 3 of Parcel Map No. 12836) . A resolution quitclaiming Parcels 1 and 2 to McMillin was adopted at the February 7th Council meeting. As a part of its development, McMillin Development would like to construct a permanent identity sign at the aforementioned corner. By letter dated January 11, 1983, McMillin requested the issuance of an encroachment permit to allow placement of the sign in the City' s open space lot. The proposed sign is the monument type constructed with masonry materials. The Departments of Planning and Parks and Recreation have reviewed the request. There are no objections from either department. They are both in favor of including the cost of maintaining the sign, if any, in the open space maintenance district for this subdivision. I agree that this would be an equitable means of spreading the maintenance costs among the homeowners of the area. The location of the sign is proposed to be 20 feet from the face of the curb on Hidden Vista Drive. Therefore, there will be no sight distance problem. There are no public utilities in this area to conflict with the placement of the monument. The encroachment permit contains wordage that holds the City harmless from damages resulting from this encroachment. It also contains a statement regarding maintenance and removal being the responsibility of the permittee or his successors. FISCAL IMPACT: None JWH:nr/PE031 WPC 0902E / i /
