ITEM TITLE: Resolution 16;A.,"~ Approving encroachment permit for the
installation of sign for Community Hospital within City
right-of-way ^~
SUBMITTED By:City Engineer ~r ' (4/5ths Vote: Yes_ No~J
On August 20, 1980, a letter was submitted to this department by the
Community Hospital of Chula Vista requesting permission to encroach
into Telegraph Canyon Road right-of-way with a directional sign to the
hospital. They propose to place the sign approximately 50 feet west of
the southwest corner of Telegraph Canyon Road and Brandywine Avenue.
It is my
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve the subject encroachment
permit with conditions included in the discussion of this report and
authorize the City Engineer to issue said permit.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The Community Hospital of Chula Vista has requested permission to
install a directional sign on Telegraph Canyon Road at Brandywine
Avenue. The proposed location is approximately 50 feet westerly of the
intersection on the south side of Telegraph Canyon Road. The sign is
intended to assist the motoring public in locating the hospital
turnoff.
Presently, the City's right-of-way extends approximately 25 feet south
of the southerly curb line of Telegraph Canyon Road as shown on Exhibit
A (attached). Approximately the most southerly 12.5 feet of this
right-of-way is part of the old alignment of Telegraph Canyon Road.
The new alignment of the road will require the ultimate right-of-way
line to be only 12.5 feet south of the curb line. If the adjacent
property owner, United Enterprises, Inc., requests the City to vacate
the excess portion and, in fact, the right-of-way reverts to them, the
encroachment permit becomes invalid and the matter will have to be
settled between United Enterprises and the Community Hospital. The
hospital representatives have been made aware of the situation.
Council has discretionary power to vacate all or a portion of this
right-of-way and can resolve this question when and if the vacation is
requested.
From an engineering standpoint, I have no objection to placing the sign
as proposed. It will not cause a hazard to the public. I recommend
approval of the encroachment with the following conditions:
L Approval by the Zoning Administrator must be obtained prior to
construction of the sign at its proposed location.

the recommendation.
A transparency and slides of the location are available for Council viewing.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
