Meeting Date 8/18/87
ITEM TITLE: Resolution ,~/ f~R~ Accepting public improvements, Corral
Canyon Road from Easi: "H" Street to~`~erly City limit
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works/City Engineer
REVIEWED BY: City Manage r ~~~f~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
McMillin Development Company has completed the construction of the public
improvements on Corral Canyon Road from East "H" Street to its connection with
the existing improvements within the Bonita Highlands Subdivision in the
unincorporated area. These improvements were a condition of approval for the
Bonita Long Canyon Units 2 and 3 subdivisions. The improvement agreements for
these subdivisions were approved by Council Resolution Nos. 12531 and 12690,
respectively.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt a resolution accepting the Corral Canyon
Road public improvements.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
• DISCUSSION:
Staff has been contacted by local residents in the City and County regarding
the opening of Corral Canyon Road. The sentiment seems to be equally divided
on whether to open or keep the road closed. The requirement to construct and
open the road was established as a condition of the approval of Bonita Long
Canyon Units 2 and 3. As part of the negotiations for approving a Developer
Agreement for Bonita Long Canyon Units 4-7, City staff is proposing that the
developer agree to improve the intersection of Central Avenue and Bonita Road;
widen Central Avenue to provide a minimum of one lane in each direction and a
continuous two-way left turn lane; a traffic signal at Central Avenue and
Corral Canyon Road; and provide further widening as traffic increases.
While traffic will increase on Central Avenue and Corral Canyon Road, it
should decrease on Bonita Road and Otay Lakes Road and provide better overall
transportation circulation in the area.
The Corral Canyon Road improvements proposed for Council acceptance generally
extend from East "H" Street to the City/County boundary line, where the
improvements connect with those within County jurisdiction (see locator map).
Inspections of the Corral Canyon Road improvements built by the McMillin
Development Company were made on May 5, 1987, and May 19, 1987. Subsequently,
letters of deficiencies were prepared dated May 18, 1987, and May 28, 1987.

A final inspection was performed on August 11, 1987. All but one of the
deficiencies has been corrected in accordance with approved plans and to the
satisfaction of the City Engineer. The one uncompleted item is the cold
planing of a 20-foot-wide portion of the Corral Canyon Road pavement just
north of Thorton Road (entrance to unit 2) to provide a smoother riding
surface. McMillin Development Co. officials have been unable to schedule the
special machine needed to grind the pavement. The work to be done will
require about 1 to 2 hours to accomplish once this machine is rented and
brought to Chula Vista from the Los Angeles area. Due to the minor amount of
work required to correct this one deficiency and the cooperation we have
always obtained from McMillin Development Co. officials, staff recommends that
the Corral Canyon Road improvements be accepted.
FISCAL IMPACT: The City will assume the maintenance of these improvements.
