ITEM TITLE: Resolution //51// Approving Encroachment Permit No. PE033
of the Bonita Center East Shopping Center for sign in City's
drainage easement
SUBMITTED BY: City Engineer (4/5ths Vote: Yes No x )
REVIEWED BY: City Manager
ADMA Company has had an identity sign placed at the entrance to its Bonita
Center East shopping center by Integrated Sign Associates. Prior to
concreting the poles, the sign was found to be encroaching into the City's
drainage easement. Mr. James F. McKenzie of Integrated Sign Associates has
submitted a request to allow this encroachment.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Council approve the subject encroachment and
authorize the City Engineer to issue the permit.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The signing for the shopping center was
reviewed and approved by the Design Review Committee.
DISCUSSION:
Recently, the Design Review Committee approved a signing program for ADMA's
Bonita Center East shopping center. A sign at each entrance to the center was
proposed (one on Otay Lakes Road and the other on Bonita Road) . Two separate
building permits were issued for the signs. The first was for the sign at the
entrance on Otay Lakes Road, which was routed through this department for
review. The second sign for the Bonita Road entrance was replacing a
temporary sign already existing, so the building permit was not routed through
the Engineering Department, at which time the encroachment would have been
discovered.
Consequently, the monument sign was mistakenly placed within the City's
22-foot wide sewer/drainage easement. As soon as the encroachment was
discovered, the sign company, Integrated Sign Associates inquired about a
permit to allow the sign to be permanently anchored in this location.
It has been determined, after investigation, that the placement of this sign
in the easement will have no adverse effect on the maintenance of the sewer or
storm drain. Wordage in the permit provides the City power to have the
encroachment removed by the owner in case it ever becomes necessary to
excavate for repair or other needed maintenance.
There are no other utilities located in this easement. The placement of the
sign does not pose a detriment or a hazard to the gena3-- b4 - ---
