Carpenter Executive Director P. O. Box 1450 Long Beach, CA. 90801 RE: SEACLIFF PHASE IV DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL AND LCP Dear Captain Carpenter : Th,s letter is a result of the actions of the Local Coastal Program - citizen Advisory Committee on December 6 and December 20, 1978 . Minutes of these :meetings are attached. The City Council approved the request for communication of the ,,; Committee ' s concerns that the applicable Local Coastal Program studies be incorporated into the decision making for this area. The Staff Report - Request for Council Action (also attached) outlines the basis for the request. Issues identified include: 1) This 112--acre project proposal is proceeding through City processes ahead of the Local Coastal Program studies which will determine the Local Coastal Plan for this area and the total Huntington Beach coastal planning area . 2) Whether the residential use proposed is compatible with the Coastal Act Land Use Priorities is yet to be determined. 3) The effects of the proposed project upon the adjacent Balsa Chica environmental habitat area and the natural land forms (bluffs) are still being evaluated by several agencies . 4) Whether the extension of 38th Street to Pacific Coast Highway with an inland connection will benefit public acceao to coastal resources or crowd out coastal receators with commuter tripe is still beinq evaluated. 11B-LCP May 3, 1979 Page 2 5) How this project could meet the low-moderate income housing policy of ;.he Coastal Act is yet to be determined in conjunction with a comprehensive coastal housing policy . 6) The locational relationship of this property to the Huntington Peach oil field operations and to the OCS operations requires the necessary analysis before energy-related uses are precluded by this residential development. During the study sessions and hearings on the Seacliff Phase IV Project, the Planning Commission was advised that it had no authority to make a ruling based on the issue of LCP prejudice . Therefore, its ruling is based only on existing City and CEQA regulations , code provisions , and Commission procedures . The Planning Commission hearings and other sessions have brought to light the important coastal concerns known at this time to be related to this development proposal. However, the analyses of these concerns and their effects on coastal resources of this and/or alternative land uses are not available fo:r inclusion in the process at this time . The Planning Commission and City Council have approved the development in question with considerable conditioning and, pending appeals, it will be free to pursue coastal permits in the near future via your Commission . This letter emphasizes that there are coastml issues involved with the Seacliff development proposal . We urge you to take these coastal- related issues into consideration in review of this project. Our Citizen Advisiory Committee feels that approval of Seacliff IV now would prejudice the LCP and be contrary to the intent of the Coastal Act of 1976 .

Site 8 - Because of the potential traffic problems it was sirggristed that the uses of this site should not require much if any parking . Perhaps auto access could be eliminated by only allowing access from the water or pedestrian . The site is presently used for fishing and this use could be continued and enhanced . Site 5 b 19 - Discussion on these sites included the point that these sites are somewhat remote from regional access thus shoulu got be heavily emphasized. However , since these beaches are already City-owners , several changes such as improvers signing , and removal of the red curb no parking zone could improve public access . There appears to be a need to tie the sites together via bike routes , signs or wa ) k i n g routes .

Site 15 - The small public access beach being developer) on TT6616 came under considerable discussion . Additional information about the states of the dedication will be reported by Staff . The consensus was that the little beach at that location was a poor choice and also poorly designed . Perhaps a more appropriate use such as a park could be found for the site .

The safety of these small beats , such as canoes among the large boats which are using the channel areas was discussed . It was determined that a recommenr'-; cion on how to develop safety for all sucrr uses should accompany recommendations of the use . The Edinger Road access was discussed .

This 112-oc:re project is within the coastal permit! ng zone and also the Local Coastal planning area. The Local Coastal Plan to he completed in mid-1979 will contain recommended land uses for all coastal properties ;nr:luding the subject proposal area, Until this LCP is complete, approval of a large deveicnment project such as Seacliff may predetermine actions of the LCP or be incons;stent with Coastal Act policies. Recommendation: 'Che Lnr.nl Coital Program-Citizen Advisory Committee at its meetings an December 6, 1978 and Oerernher 20, 1978, by votes of 12-0, resolved to request the City Council to communicate! with the South Coast Regional Commission about this project. The purpose of the cornmunication is to urge that the information from the Local Coastal Program studies and larxi use determinations be included in the permitting decision an this large project. To include this information in permitting c ecisions, the project permit reviews need to be scheduled subsequent to the preparation of the Huntington Beoch Coastal Element. Analysis The Sencliff area wos identified in the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program - Work Program as a coastal issue area. The issues which were identified then were described on page 30: next pope, please ,. . . . . . . . i no aft 1,� IAmpit-o for City 6mi it Actim Se•ete:tifl I fMlloprnent Processing Decrrnberr 22, 1978 �. Pngea 2 "The issuers concerning this area are the location of the varying densities of reside -tial, circulation, the integration of existing lonq-term oil facilities, and siting to preserve and provide excess to vistas and maximize onsite open space. The latter issue becomes especially critical if bluff line regional park is not pursued by the County of Orange., An additional issue is the impact of any expansion of the oil proorcticn area alonq Pacific Coast Highway in response to offshore oil development. The landfall for the existing offshares wells is in this area. it is possible that this area of they coastal zone could require significant expansion of its offshore oil processing and transportation facilities. Such a major expansion would signif icane ly affect the Sew-lif f planned community." Additional cor►sial issues which were identified in the review of Environmental Impact Report 77-6, pages 236 to 243, are included as on attachment to this request. The potentiol offshore oil activity effects in this area were again emphasized in these E IR comments. Thp removal of suclh n lunge pnrrel (112 acres) from consideration for alternative uses such as coil or rrrrrntion or visitor-serving facilities seriously reduces the options nvnilnhle in n romprehensive local coastal plan. The issue nl the pnientin) danger to habitat orc!ns from runoff inio the ©olsa Chico was 40 identified. The doterrninotion of whet'ier the propostri rnitigotion measures will be sufficient to protect coastal remwrc(.s has not be vn made by the Local Coastal Plan at this time. They extension of 38th Street to intersect wi!h Pacific Coast Highway is prelimimrily felt to he consistent with Coastnl Act policies.

Conrner►t The Coastal policy to increase non-vehicular access to the beach areas would find consistency with bike routes along Palm Avenue and connecting to Goldenwest and 38th Streets, thus to Pacific Coast highway. The 38th j Street bikeway location should be integrated into the Aluffline Regional Park so that separation from the roadway can be effected . Le.�ponsq The cowiiient is incorporated by reference. 54 . Comrnrnt The extension of 38th Street to PCH in addition to the northerly extension to Edwards Street would provide additional , inuch-needed access to coastal resources , perhaps relieving the PCH intersections at Goldenwest, 17tn Street , and Main Street , and would provide a scenic vehicle route along an open space corridor from Central Park . However , this easier access to PCH may encourage north- or south-bound commuters to choose the coastal route. The UP will analyze the need for the PCH intertie as well as the circulation «; ! needs for the entire area . Res onse No response necessary. 55.

Minutes of these meetings are attached. The City Council approved the request for cotrm, iic, tion of the com- mittee ' s concerns that the applicable Local Coastal Program studies be incorporated into the decision milking for this area. The staff report -- Request for Ccuncil Action . (dlso attached) outlines the basis for the request . Issues identified include: 1. This 112--acre project proposr,l is pruceedinc through City pro- cesses ahead of the Local Coastal Program studies which will determine the Local Coastal Plan for this area and the total fluntington Reach coastal planning area . r 2 . Whether the residential use proposed is compatible with the Coastal Act land use priorities is yet to be determined. 3 . The effects of the proposed project upon the e0jacent Solsa Chica environmental habitat area and the natural land forms (bluffs) are !till being evaluated by several agencies 4 . Whether the extension of 38th Straet to Pacific Coast Highway with an inland connection will benefit public access to coastal resources or crowd cut coastal recreators with commuter trips is still being evaluated. 5 . How this project could meet: the low-moderate income housing policy of the Coastal. Act is yet to be determined in nad junction with a comprehensive coastal housing policy. 6.

Therefore its ruling is based only on misting city and CEQA regulations , cone pro- visions, and Comission procedures . The Planning Comission hearings and other sessions have brought to light the important coastal concern3 known at this time to be related to this development proposal . However , the analyses of there concerns and their effects on cuastal resources of this and/or alternatives land uses are not available for inclusion in the process at this time.. The Planning Commission his approved the development in question with considerable conditioning and, pending appeals , it will be free -to pursue coastal permits in the rear future via your Commission. This lettar emphasizes that there are coastal issues involved with the Seacliff development proposal.. lie urge you to take these constasl•- related isslues into consideration in review of this project.

Conditions 3 and 7 are identical except that Condition 3 relates to the Tentative. Tract maps and Condition 7 relates to the Tentative Parcel Map . RECOMMENDATION: Recommendation NI does not relate to Conditions : or 7 but W' as added because it was inadvertently omitted during Planning Commission and City Council reviews ., Recommendation N1I presents two possible amended versions of. Conditions 3 and 7 . RECOMMENDATION N I With the acquiescence of the applicant , an additional r:ond,ition must We added to Tentative Parcel Map 78 -37 in order to :insure that no parcel within TPM 78•-37 is landlocked . The condition should read as follows : , Thirty-Eighth Street shall be dedicated and fully improved to its ultimate right-of-way width from at least its northernmost boundary within TPM 78 -37 southwesterly to at least its intersection with Palm Avenue. Palm Avenue shall be dedicated and fully imr:•roved to its ultimate right-of-way width from its intersection with Thirty-Eighth Street southeasterly to its intersection with Goldenwest Street . RECOWENDATICN NI : (naxt page) no a" ,� f RCA 79- 27 Page 2 RECOMMENDATION II The City and the Huntington B ach Company shall enter into an agreement binding on any existing or future owner of the affected property modifying condition:; 3 and 7 . `1 ::% nature of the modi flcat ion Will depend on clarification of several issues . The issues are : (1) whether the extension of farfield Avenue is a publicly dedicated and' iiproved rigRht-of-,way , (2) whether the City can restrict public access; on a public right -of-way , and (3) i.f the City cannot restrict public access , whethor -the City would choose to abandon the right-of-way. The following proposed Modification A is the staff recommendation in all circumstances except if it is determined that : (1 ) the extension of Garfield Avenue is a publicly dedicated and improved right -of-way , ( 2) the City Cannot restrict public access on same and (3) the City Council is unwilling to abandon the right -of-way , Modification A : Al Interim emergency access shall he available northerly on 38th Street to the extension of Guri'ield Avenue and from that pdint easterly along the extension of Garfield Avenue to the intersection of Garfield Avenue and Edwards Street . Such emergency access shall remain in force until public access is available from Edwards Street and Garfield Avenue to a dedicated and improved 38th Street having at least two (2) 12 - foot travel lanes , A2 The interim emergency access shall be subject to Fire Department approval as to prober grading , alignment , identification , illumination and security method . Tn addition , the emergency access shall be paved to a full twenty- four (24 ) foot width and shall be maintained by the Huntington Beach Company . A3 The City trill precise plan 38th Street within a period of one year and the City may precise plan Edwards Street and Garfield Avenue or portions thereof within a similar period. The Huntington Beach Company shall provide engineering services for the precise plans for at least those portions of 38th Street , Edwards Street and Garfield Avenue on Huntington Reach Company land , but the company need not limit its services to those properties . Modification B is only necessary for consideration in the one case where the following three statements are true : (1) the extension of Garfield Avenue is a publicly dedicated and improved right-of-way , (2) the City cannot restrict public access on same , and (3) the City Council is unwilling to abandon the right -of- way . If the City Council expresses its willingness to abandon the right-of-way , if necessary, then regardless Of circumstances Modification A is the appropriate direction to pursue. In reviewing the pros and cons of abandonment , staff has concluded that abandonment of the right-of-way (if it is right -of-WAY) would he appropriate and reasonable. The inherent leverage of holding onto L e right-of-way in terms of being able to trade properties for alternative right-of-ways is insignificant in this case since through the subdivision-- map process all future developments in the area will be required to dedicate and improve right -of-way in compliance with City precise plans of street alignment in the area . M RCA 79-21 Page 3 RECOMMENDATI ON I 1 Continued However; if the City Council chooses not * to' expo ass' 'a willingness to obandon' possible right-of-way; thou Modificalion A cannot be overlooked. A final determination between Modification- A or 3 cannot be made until clarification on the ' ri ht -of=war status of the extension of Garfield Avenue and on whether public access can be restricted on a public right -of-way. Modification B: 81 interim emergency access shall be available northerly can 38th Street to the extension, of Garfield Avenue. Such emergency access shall retrain in force until dedication and improvement of Uth Street with at least two (2 ) 12 foot travel lanes . 82 Same as Modification A2 . 83 .Same os Modification A3 B4 The Huntington Reach Company shall place a six foot chain link fence on the southern, northern and western boundary of the Garfield Avenue Extension . ANALYSrS: Recommendation 11 : Recommendation #I is technical clean up which insures access to the area in Tentative Parcel Map 75-37 by requiring full dedication and improvement for that portion of loth Street adjacent to the blue border and the same for Pals Avenue from the intersection. of 38th Street to Goldenwest Avenue . This condition is in compliance with conditions already affixed to the Tentative Tract Maps . Recommendation #' II : This analysis summarizes the many issues related to Condition 3 of Tentative Tracts 10067 , 10068 , 10069 and Condition 7 of Tentative Parcel Map 78- 37 . Conditions 3 and 7 permit the City to precisely align. 38th Street from Pacific Coast Highway on the south to the ultimate alignments of Garfield Avenue and Edwards Street on the north , (the: langus a in the condition: is misleading in that the description of the nortlern boundary as Garfield Avenue and Edwards Street makes no mention that the intended boundary is to the ultimate alignment of those streets) . Upon precise alignment of 38th Street , full street improvements shall be installed by the developer within the blue border of the map . Upon completion of 504 of the units within the project , at least two fully improved 12 foot travel lanes shall be provided on 38th Street from northerly boundary of the map to the ultimate alignments of Garfield Avenue and Edwards Street . Precise alignment of 38th Street CA to Pacific Coast Highway has not been a point of contention. The issue of the viability of Conditions 3 and 7 surfaced because of an opinion provided by the City Attorney on March 15 , 1979 . In the opinion of the City Attorney , the City may not require dedication and imt .•ovement as contained in Conditions 3 and 7 unless the developer agree;, by contract to such conditions . Conditions 3 and 7 provide for public access through properties outside the blue border to the subject area within the blue border after 504 of the units in the project are built . However , the requirement for public access is excessive in light of the fiAdings in the related environmental impact report that Palm Avenue will be adequate to handle the traffic generated by the project. However, there is a substantiated need for alternate emergency access , but the requirement of Conditions 3 and 7 for public access go beyond the more limited need of emergency access . In developing a recommendation the following issues were considered : type of access needed , status of the extension of Garfield Avenue , whether public access can be restricted on a public right -of-way, abandonment of public right -of-way and the need for precise alignment . A. Type of access needed : The traffic section of the environmental impact report pointed out that Palm Avenue widened to its ultimate width will have adequate capacity to handle the add i t i onu l t ru rric genc ra t ed by Phase IV. The requirement imposed by Conditions 3 and I for public access northward along 38th Street to Garfield :Avenue is based on considerations for improving access . to the subject site , but most importantly for provision of alternate emergency access to the subject site . y . The problems associated with the provision , of public access on 38th Street after S01 of units are complate ' as required , by Conditions 3 and 7 are threefold : (1) It is difficult to defend in view of the fact that Palm Avenue can handle the traffic generated by Seacliff IV. It can be defended to an extent based on the need for emergency access , however emergency access can be provided without creating a public right -of-way. In this particular instance the Huntington Beach Company can point to several potential alternative emergency access routes , some south to Pacific Coast Highway , (2) Public access on 38th Street would add to City costs in terms of maintaining additional right-of-way, upgrading Edwards Street and Garfield Avenue ' costing as much as $100 ,000 in order to handle additional traffic, ' and possibly the cost of signalizing the intersection of 38th Street and Garfield Avenue since Conditions 3 and 7 did not account for the possiMility , (3) The normal phasing of the dedication and improve- ment of right-of-way may be upset to the point of . inefficient use of public funds . Because of the oil encumbersnces in the area it is unrealistic to expect dedication and improvement from land owners along the ultimate alignments of Garfield Avenue and Edwards Street to occur coincident with the availability of public access -on 38th Street . Therefore , the City will have to upgrade Edwards Street and Garfield Avenue along existing alignments to handle the traffic generated by Seacliff even though the existing alignments may not be the ultieate ' alignments . Although the Fire Department remains firm in its conclusion that it is still best from an emergency management standpoint to have open public access to Garfield Street , a reasonable alternative solution is acceptable to the Fire Department provided : 1 . A Fire Department approved emergency access road , paved to a full twenty- four (24) foot width with proper grading , alignment , identification , illumination and security method of traffic control and private maintenance is guaranteed . 2 . An agreement is made between the property owner of the emergency access route and the City with regard to conditions in Item 01 . Also , that this agreement shall be binding on any future property owner , until such time as 38th Street is improved and open to the public through to Garfield . 3 . That there be no change of condition as to the precise plan of street alignment for 38th Street and dedication . Conclusion : too In view of the problems associated with providing public right -of-way on. 38th Street northerly from the Seacliff IV and the availability of a reasonable alternative for emergency access , pursuit of public access on 38th Street at this time is not in the City ' s best interest . 0 0 f3, staitu:s of the extension of Courfield Avenue: The wosterly - oxtonsion of Garfield Avenuo from fidwards Street running approximately 1 ,950 foot with a tviA t h - va eying between 20 feet and 60 feet (depending on :source of . information and interpretation) maybe publicly dedicated right-of=way. , Or it stttty an easement or tho City may have fee to the property' (depending on source of information and interpretation) . The "right-of-wsyl' may be improved if the existing roadway is within the "tight-of-way" . There is , .however , a possibility the roadway is adjacent to the "right-of-way", running the length of the southern boundary. Therefore , even if there is public right-of-way it may not be: improved . Conclusion : Staff is unable at this time to determine the exact legal status of the Garfield Avenue extension. However , the legal status of Garfield avenue bears no relationship to the questions of type of access needed . The legal status of the Garfield Avenue extension will , however , effect the manner in which appropriate access is attained . The following two sections deal with this problem. C. Restriction of public Access on Public Right-of- Way : The City Attorney ' s office is reviewing the possibility of restricting public access on public right-of-way . This may be a means of limiting access on the Garfield Avenue extension for emergency use if the extensiori proves to btu public '* ght--of-way. The Ay can cul -de-sac right-of-ways , however in this case the practical effect of such an effort at the intersection of Garfield Avenue and Edwards Street would be to reserves the extension of Garfield Avenue for private use . This probably would be contrary to the intended purpose of providing a cul -de-sac . The City can restrict public access on a public right-of-wary for a short time for public safety purposes . Whether this concept can be extended to a period of years is yet to be verified . Conclusion : Staff i -i ataatehle at this time to ascertain .+ specific method for It-; I a If I HIM 1+u111 1 , iv 4 h :.: .tat 1 11141, 1 I - a igha oaf Way fol Jeiaktb of time potentially needed . D. Abandonment of public right-of-way : The power to vacate a City street is vested solely in the munici- pality, and act of vacating can be done only upon finding that property in question is unnecessary for present or future uses as a public street . In the potential case before the City , a finding that the extension of Garfield Avenue is unnecessary for present use as a public street could be made . Future use would be unknown at this time and would depend on determination of the ultimate alignment of Garfield Avenue . A municipality can not vacate a"portion of public street for sole benefit of private individuals or corporations , but can do so in interest of safety , convenience and public welfare . Since abandonment of the Garfield Avenue extension would insure a separation of the public from oil extraction activities , and save the City street maintenance and improvement costs the City would be justified in pursuing such a rniirse . The major argument against Abandonment is that tWCity may lose some bargaining leverage. The inherent )+eveirage of holding onto the right-of-way in terms of being, able to trade properties for alternative right -of-ways is insiinificant in this case since through the subdivision map process all future developments in the area will be required to dedicate and improve right-of-way in compliance with City precise plans of street alignment in the area . Conclusion : If it becomes necessary to vacate the extension of Garfield Avenue in order to limit public access , then proceed accordingly . E. precise Alignment : Precise alignment of 38th Street as well as Garfield Avenue and Edwards Street should proceed without hesitation . The precise alignments will aid in determining the eastern boundary of the linear park as well as the dedication requirements of future development . Furthermore it would seem advantageous to both the City and the Huntington Beach Company if the engineering services necessary for determining precise alignments were provided by the Huntington Beach Company. The City will save the cost of, such services , and the Huntington Beach Company which is most familiar with its property will have an opportunity to be involved in the planning of the precise alignments . Conclusion : Precise alignment of 38th Street , Edwards Street and Garfield Avenue should proceed without hesitation and with the aid of engineering services from the Huntington Beach Company.

Ci CW H&M�IT1-10-M H INTEA-DEPARTMENT COMMUNICATION "1;%1�f,NIw NM M Gail llutton James W. Pa 1 in To City Attorney From Acting Planning Director Subject SEACLIFF IV PROJECT Data March 15, 1979 Pursuant to our conversation held on Tuesday, the 13th of March, follow- Ing are my thoughts on the procedures necessary for the Huntington Beach Company to obtain an amendment and/or modification to their previously approved tentative parcel map and tentative tract maps for the seacliff Phase IV development proposal. As I indicated to you, I do not feel that the City Council at this point in time has any further jurisdiction over the maps as, pursuant to Section 66452. 5 (a) of the subdivision Map Act , the subject to which we had addressed ourselves (i.e. , appeal by the subdivider to the legisla- tive body) is required to be filed within 15 days after action of the advisory agency (the Planning Commission) on the subject maps. (The Com- mission was the advisory body on the tentative parcel map because the Board of Zoning Adjustments had referred the parcel map to them for action.) The Map Act then requires that said appeal be heard by the legislative body (the City Council) within 30 days after filing of such appeal and requites that within 10 days following the conclusion of the hearing the legislative body shall ( "shall." being mandatory) render its decision on the appeal. Therefore, as the developer filed his appeal to the Planning Commission , action of January 16 , 1979 on January 31 , 1979, and a public hearing was held thereon by the ,City Council on February 20, 1979 , the hearing was held and the decision was rendered within the specified time as set forth by the Government Code , and any reconsideration of this decision would have to be made at the same or next regular legislative session of the City Council . As this date has passed and we have gone far beyond the 30 days for the public hearing and/or the 10 days for rendering of the decision , the maps no longer lie within the jurisdiction of the City Council. In the past, any request for a modification, amendment, and/or a revision to tentative tracts has been filed with the advisory agency, which has been granted the power to review tentative tract maps for approval within the City of Huntington ©each. If the proponent and/or the property owner at this point wants to discuss a possible modification and/or deletion of any conditions of approval , it would be entirely up to your department to make the determination on whether his request would constitute a revision to a tentative tract map. If you find that it is in fact a revision to a map, then the map must be filed as such with the Planning Department and one-quarter of the original filing fee paid for the processing of said revised map before the advisory agency. If, however, you make the determination that it is not a revision to the mar, then previously we have been reviewing amendments based upon a written tree a-not i reacliff phase lv ' March 15, 1979 Page 2 by the developer setting forth his reasons for the requested m ` This written request is then reviewed b the adt� Deification. its regularly scheduled meetings, y isory agency at one of requests and submits their recOmendationsPlantonthetadvi�or agency these euant to Section 66452. 3 of the Subdivision Ma Act Y agency requires th such report be served on the subdivider at least threeh(3) ayspr that any hearing or action on such request , days prior to As you are well aware, our Subdivision Ordinance allows tract map be in effect for 18 Months from the date ofa that a tentative. allows that a developer can file a final ma u t'p tali and P any time during this 18 month Pon this tentative map at final map is not submitted for recordation# then matrthe tsoeason m i bonato, a the 18 months the effectiveness of the map becomes null and void an of P all proceedings terminate. Therefore, I do not feel that a ma cane brought up an a reconsideration or as new business by the city n be after the decision has been rendered upon an a t Council appeal pursuant t provisions of the Map Act. o the Chapter 7, Article 3 (Judicial Review) , Section 66499. 37 of the State Map Act states that an action to attach, review, set aside, void or annul the decision of an advisory agency or legislative body concerning e subdivision or any proceedings or determinations taken, done, or made prior to such decision or to determine reasonableness or validity of any conditions attached thoreto, shall not be mailitained b an unless such action is commenced within 180 days after such by any From this section, I would say that such determination has alreadybe matte by the City Council at its February 20, 1979 meeting and cannot nn be reconsidered without violating those sections of the Map Act whic ow I have previous:.y Cited in this memo. h I hope these section numbers and my thoughts set forth her ein you in your recommendation to the City Council on this subjectdssist matter. dames W. a n Acting Planning Director JWP:df 0 0 r .W11M INTER-IEFAATMINT COMMUNICATION ID G, 8►Isifo ' �+ From Raymond C. plcar To ��City Adrrinistrator Fir Chief 1 .p: . .

A Fire Department approved er»ergenay occeas rood, paved to a full twenty-four (24) foot width with proper grading, alignment, identification, illurrdrwtlw% security, ,method of traffic o mtrol and private molOomnce is guaranteed. 2. An agreement is made between the property owner of the emergency access route and ft:t City with regard to conditl&,w in Item I. Also, that this amen troll be binding an any future property owner, until such time as 39th Street Is Improved and open to the public through to Croy fi-'d. 3. That there be no change of ovneltion as to the precise plan of street alignment for 38th Street and dedication.

Hartge Fwlb ect Seaclif f IV Date March 29, 1979 1 note that conditions 3 and 7 imposed on Seacliff IV in on the Council agenda of April 2, 1979 under item L-7a. item 3 would require the Construction of 38th Street as a public street from the north tract boundary to Garfield Ave./Edwards Street. I wish to point out several things concerning this requirement. 1. The traffic section of the EIR pointed out that Palm Avenue widened to its ultimate width will have adequate capacity to handle the additional traffic developed from Phase Iv. 2. Even if 38th Street were constructed at no cost to the City , the cost of maintaining it as a public street must be borne by the City. 3 . Additional traffic moving to and from Phase IV via 38th Street will necessitate an expenditure of money to reconstruct those two streets soon after 38th Street is completed . To patch and cap Edwards Street from Garfield to Talbert and Garfield from Edwards to Goldenwest could cost as much as $100, 000. 00 . 1 . artge Director of Public Works H$H: jy fAo i 067 , 10068 , 1006,4 ary 16, 1979 ` e 2 to t:h':' I*Peorclrltion cif any fi.rl;11 111-11) .

These three tracts and the conditional use permit are for the development of a 531 unit planned residential development on a 114 acre site located west of Goldenwest Street, north of Palm Avenue and southwest of the Seacliff Golf Course.
