Mgr, - .- - -. -- --__ _____ _____- REQUEST FOR DEDICATION OF CITY OWNED PROPERTY PI0 PIC0 DRIVE AND BUENA VISTA IVAY SLbj ec t : _-I__ S?Z.tcrr,ent of the Matter When Interstate 5 was widened and Pi0 Pic0 Drive relocated, the City acquired from the State, a small triangular niece of land just southerly of the intersection of Buena Vista Way at Pi0 Pic0 Drive. Mr. Howard Bowling contacted the City several months ago with a request that this land be dedicated to him so that he would have access to the adjoining parcel which he owns. Staff spent time checking out the situation and determined that it would not be good traffic control management to so dedicate this piece of property. Recently, Nr. Bowling addressed a letter to the Council requestj that consideration be given to his request. Staff has again gor over the request in detail and still recommends that this parcel not be dedicated. Further, the staff feels that consideration ( this recruest by Council should include the possibility of purcht rather than granted without fee. Disposal of the property would require a Planning Commission re! relative to the General Plan, advising the State, County and Ci- Park Commissions of intent to sell and receivinq their permissic to sell via a statement that the land is not needed for park purposes. Exhibit Letter to Council from Mr. Bowling dated 12-15-75 rilemo to City Manager from Public Works Administrator dated 1-6- Memo from staff member to Public Works Administrator dated 12-3 Parcel Map showing property Recommendation If Council wishes to proceed refer matter to staff. should indicate whether they wish an appraisal or set a value on the property. Council Council Action 1-20-76 --.____- ___ A motion was made that the staff be directed to take the steps, necessary in declaring this parcel as surplus prop 0 0 MEMORANDUM January 6, 1976 'PO: City Manager, attni Bill Baldwin FROM: Public Works Administrator SUBJECT: Intersection of Pi0 Pic0 Drive and Buena Vista Way The attached parcel map shows both the privately-owned parcel (a), and the City-owned property at the subject intersection. Any alteration of existing traffic control which would provide for access to property on the west side of Pi0 Pic0 Drive through its curved section would result in a situation which would cause confusion to drivers approaching this area. The reason for this is due to the inability of an approaching driver to accurately determine the intentions of a vehicle undergoing a turning move- ment through the curved stretch. Parcel a, which is zoned to allow office development, could generate enough traffic to accentuate this problem. It is staff's recommendation to maintain the existing traffic control devices in their present configuration. The existing guard rail. at its northerly end could be shortened sufficiently to allow access to Parcel a at its southerly end, but north of the 20 foot easement to the County. Although staff recommendation would be to encourage access to Parcel a along its northerly boundary, the southerly access would be an acceptab. compromise. 1 Ronald A.

Currently, there is a guard- rail along the west side of Pi0 Pic0 Dr. at this intersection to prevent any vehicles from inadvertently veering into the freeway. Also, this section of Pi0 Pic0 Dr. is on a curve. As traffic increases on Pi0 Pic0 Dr., it will be important that this “T” intersection retain its geornetrics and not have any access or driveways west of the intersection. --STAS 8 J-4 -’ Jt9 Kent /Whitson KW/dh attach.
