ITEM TITLE RESOLUTION 8114 Appzoying Final Map -- Hilltop Vista
Subdivision
SUBMITTED BY~ Director of Public Works/City Engineer ~j~
ITEM EXPLANATION The final map for Hilltop Vista Subdivision has been checked
by the Engineering Division and Found to be in conformity with the tentative
map approved by the City Council on May 6, 1975 by Resolution 7714. The sub-
divider, Dale Building Co., has paid all fees and has submitted all bonds
and required documents. Approval of the final map includes the dedication of
Corte Entrada, Camino Entrada, Avenida Madera, Camino Vista Real, Plaza Mar,
Plaza Flora, Plaza Sierra, Corte Nacion and iJacion Avenue. The developer is
also granting to the City Lots "A" and "B" for drainage purposes, Lot "C"
for pedestrian access, Lot "D", and other easements for drainage facilities,
sewer facilities, street tree planting and maintenance, electrical facilities
and open space.
One of the conditions for approval of the tentative map was that a pedes-
trian walkway be provided to connect Melrose Avenue between the northerly
subdivision boundary and Telegraph Canyon k2oad. This condition required
that a stairway and pedestrian walkway be constructed up the slope between
Melrose Avenue and Camino Entrada within Lot ~'D", and that a pedestrian
bridge be constructed across the major drainage channel adjacent to Tele-
graph Canyon Road.
The requirement for providing a pedestrian walkway connecting Melrose Avenue
through the subdivision is a condition of the Planning Department. Since
the approval of the tentative map, the developer (at staff level? has
sought relief from the requirement to construct pedestrian access walks and

a pedestrian bridge. As a result of staff discussions with the developer,
the Director of Planning is recommending the deletion of the pedestrian
bridge; however, he is still recommending the retention of the pedestrian
stairway between Melrose Avenue and Camino Entrada.
Following are the reasons behind the Director o~ Planning's recommendation:
It is approximately one mile between Nacion Avenue and Hilltop Drive
to the west. The proposed subdivision, located within this area, takes
on a very linear nature, extending well over one-half mile from Nacion
Avenue to the westerly tip of the development without a north-south
connection, either vehicular or pedestrian. Due to the change in grade
between existing developments north of the subdivision and the design of
the pads and street system within the proposed subdivision, it is
physically impossible to provide a vehicular connection between the
two areas. Pedestrian access, however, may be accommodated at Melrose
Avenue, which provides a linkage point at approximately the midpoint of
the subdivision affording the proposed residents of this subdivision with
the opportunity to gravitate either north or south in a reasonable walking
distance.
While the northerly access point connecting the subdivision to Melrose
is an essential location to provide a valid point of linkage, the southerly
access point, which requires traversing between two lots as well as the
construction of a footbridge across the Telegraph Canyon drainage system,
can only be accomplished at a substantial expense to the developer. The
bid price quoted to us by the developer for the bridge and associated re-
taining walls would run approximately $10,000 without any sort of protectiv
covering over the bridge.
In addition, there is a public road which enters the subdivision some 900
feet westerly of the proposed bridge site, offering the pedestrian a
connecting link from the Melrose path to Telegraph Canyon Road. While
this access is not as direct as that originally approved by the Planning
Commission and Council, it does provide the necessary linkage between the
developments lying north and south of this subdivision with the high
school and elementary school located in this vicinity.
There has been some recent discussion over the past several months
concerning pedestrian access ways which extend through rear yard areas
and become a problem due to vandalism. The pedestrian connection being
proposed between the terminus of Melrose Avenue and Hilltop Vista sub-
division extends a relatively short distance-approximately 100'--
with the entire path contained within a large open space lot which is
a landscaped slope area enclosed by chainlink fencing adjacent to the
property lines on either side.
A transparency is available for Council viewing.
