PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES
S. PUBLIC HEARING - This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Hyde
CONSIDERATION OF CONDEM- opened the public hearing.
NATION ACTION IN CONNECTION
WITH VILLA SAN MIGUEL City Attorney Lindberg explained that L & M Professional
DRAINAGE AND SEWER EASEmeNT Consultants, Inc. requested that the City consent to the
(Continued from 8/7/79) acquisition of an easement which would be for a sanitary
sewer and storm drain to serve the Villa San Miguel Subdi-
vision. The easement is near the boundary line of property
belonging to Mr. Frank Eerreira.
City Engineer's comments City Engineer Lippitt stated that the Council approved the
tentative map for this subdivision (Resolution 9S40).
Condition SA of that approval stipulated that all lots were
to be served by a gravity sewer. Offsite drainage conditio~
were also required and to provide this, a right of way
acquisition was necessary. The original proposal for the
sewer was to connect to the existing sewer in Eucalyptus
Court (west boundary of the apartment complex); however,
upon objections of Mr. Prank Ferreira (owner of that properl
the staff and developer decided to install the sewer along
the easterly boundary of the apartment complex since a
drainage easement was needed here, thereby connecting into
the existing sewer of Bonita Glen Drive.
Staff recommendation Mr. Lippitt added that because this drainage easement is
needed for protection of Mr. Ferreira's property and nine
of the 10.9 acres cannot be served by gravity to Hilltop
Drive, and it is undesirable to use a permanent pump statim
for sewer service purposes because of the high capital cost
energy costs, etc., staff recommends that the Council adopt
the resolution consenting to the easement by means of emine:
domain.
Ferreira's proposed Mr. Lippitt said he was just handed a copy of a proposed
development development of Mr. Ferreira for the adjacent property in
which Mr. Ferreira plans to construct apartment units five
feet off the property line. This could present a problem
for having the sewer and drainage easement together as this
requires a IS' easement. Since he just received the propos
Mr. Lippitt stated he could not respond to all its impli-
cations.
Held Tuesday - 7:00 p.m. - 5 - August 14, 1979
PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES (Cont.)
Richard Paul ~tr. Paul, Attorney representing L & M Professional Consultan
2100 Union Bank Building stated that the issue before the Council is whether the
San Diego CA 92101 condemner (private developer) can exercise the private
developer's right of condemnation. The Civil Code gives
this right to the developer; if the resolution is adopted,
the City will not be involved beyond tonight's proceedings.
The question before the Council is whether the easement,
in its present configuration, is located in such a way to
cause the least possihle harm to the burdened property while
providing the greatest possible benefit to the condemning
property.
Mw. Paul discussed the configuration of the easement as
originally proposed and the final alignment being proposed
to the Council this evening, one that they feel will minimiz
the damage while still being able to run it out to Bonita
Glen Drive.
Cost of acquisition Mr. Paul discussed Mr. Ferreira's proposed plan which he ssi
they examined at 12:30 p.m. today for the first time. They
surmised that the acquisition of the easement as proposed
tonight would cost them $S5,000; however, under Mr. Ferreira
proposal, it will be a minimum of $90,0011 with the possibili
of an additional $16,000.
Terence O'Malley Mr. O'Malley asked for rebuttal time.
2100 Union Bank Building
San Diego CA 9210~
Mike Poynor Mr. Po)rnor, Attorney representing Mr. Ferriera, submitted
22S W. Broadway a diagram to the Council noting an alternative easement
Suite 1900 which his client feels would cause the least damage to his
San Diego CA property. The developers' easement would cut out 16 units
from Mr. Ferreira's proposed apartment complex.
Mr. Poynor submitted, for the record, a copy of the building
permit obtained by Mr. Ferreira in September 1974 for a
retaining wall which was built along the boundary line of
the property and which will support the future carports
of his apartment complex.
Guy Winton Mr. Winton, Civil Engineer, submitted a schematic layout
3368 Second Avenue of the property showing the gravity sewer back to Hilltop
San Diego CA 92103 Drive, stating that it shows there is no "incontestahle
need for condemnation of the easements under consideration."
Frank Ferreira Mr. Ferreira explained that when CalTrans put in Bonita Gler
2S0 Bonita Glen Drive Drive, he was informed he had to put in a 35" concrete
Chula Vista CA culvert along the easterly side of Bonita Glen Dirve. The
City refused to put it in at that time, indicating it was
to be put in when the property was improved. Mr. Ferreira
added that he feels he should not be burdened with this
cost which should be someone else's expense. Mr. Ferreira
added that he objects to any condemnation proceedings on
his property as the property could be drained through
gravity to Hilltop Drive without any hardship to the develot
er.
William A. Moser Mr. Moser, Chief Engineer representing L & M Professional
485S Ruffner Street Consultants, discussed ~lr. Ferreira's proposed plans noting
San Diego CA 92111 what he considered several ,'problems" with it: density,
setbacks, necessity of grade and fill, not meeting fire
requirements. Mr. Moser noted the implications of the
easement alternative proposed by Mr. Ferreira, stating that
a storm drain is needed (northeast corner of the property)
and making this easement S' wider for their sewer would
not present an inconvenience to Mr. Ferreira.
Held Tuesday - 7:00 p.m. - 4 - August 14, 1979
PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES (Cont.)
Further comments Further comments ensued with the Council concerning the
elimination of the 16 units of Mr. Ferreira's proposed

ago and the money spent to date on implementing the plan;

Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for or against,
the hearing was declared closed.
City Engineer's comments In answer to the Council's query, Mr. Lippitt stated he
could not respond in detail to Mr. Ferreira's proposed
plan as he has not had a chance to review it. He could
come back with a recommendation in two weeks.
Motion for 2 weeks It was moved by Mayor Hyde, seconded by Councilwoman McCand~
continuance and unanimously carried by those present that this matter b~
continued for a period of two weeks and be brought back witt
