HomeMy WebLinkAbout1997-06-17; City Council; 14221; Vacate Roadway Dedication Rancho VerdeRECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends the City Council deny Centex Homes request to designate future connection
between Encinitas and Paseo Esmerado as a permanent emergency access only.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
August 7, 1990 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-274 approving Carlsbad Tract 89-18
(CT 89-l 8) known as Ranch0 Verde. This subdivision is a 180-lot tract located in the extreme southeast corner of the City on the boundary line with the City of Encinitas.
At the public hearing for the project, representatives from the City of Encinitas requested the
provisions be made to provide a connection from the subdivision streets to the City boundary to
allow future connection between Carlsbad and Encinitas.
The Council action required the developer to offer to dedicate the street, post security for future
construction of the connection and develop a program to notice all prospective purchasers in the
development that access to the City of Encinitas exists through this subdivision and may be
constructed and placed in service at the discretion of the City Council.
The offer of dedication has been made and securities posted for the future construction of the
connection.
Centex Homes by letter of April 8, 1997 (Exhibit 1) has requested that the offer of dedication be
permanently “reserved for emergency access only”.
Under the current status the Council has full discretion as to when and under what circumstances they wish to make the proposed street connection. No physical connection exists
at this time. Circulation demands in the future may make this connection desirable. Staff
recommends that the Council not at this time preclude any options in regards to this connection.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None

The Honorable City Council
City of Carlsbad

Carlsbad, CA 92008
Dear Council Members:
We are hereby requesting the City Council make a determination, pursuant to Council
Resolution 90-274, approved by you on August 7, 1990, that the irrevocable offer of
dedication for future street, referred to as Street “A” on the Final Map of Ranch0 Verde
Unit 2 and recorded as Map No. 13400 on February 5, 1997 in the County of San Diego,
California, be permanently reserved for emergency access only.
It is our understanding that the City of Encinitas is currently pursuing a course of action
leading to the opening of this street as a public access through the Ranch0 Verde
neighborhood. This would change the character of the local neighborhood streets in our
subdivision and using them as collector streets, a purpose for which they were not
designed as evidenced by the curve radii which are below collector street standards.
Although the street widths are at a minimum standard for collector criteria, the majority
of designated collector streets are wider.
In addition, we have experienced the expression of strong home buyer concern regarding
the possibility of the street in front of their homes becoming a public thoroughfare and
“shortcut” to the local elementary and high schools.
Your earliest consideration of this matter would be greatly appreciated. If you have any
questions or need any material relative to this matter that we are able to provide, please
contactme at431-1211.

City Council
my Manager
City Attorney
City Clerk
At our May 291997 meeting, the City Council directed our staff to work with Carlsbad to establish an unrestricted residential road connection between Lone
Jack Road in Encinitas and Paseo Esmerado in Cansbad. In Enclnitas, the needed right-of-way was offered for dedication as a condition of the LL Ranch project. In Cadsbad, the developer of the Ranch0 Verde project (tract 89-18) was also required to offer to dedicate the necessary street fight-of-way and post security for the future construction.
The City now understands that Centex Homes has requested that the road
connection be restricted to emergency vehicles only, and that at tonight’s
Council meeting your staff is recommending that Centex Homes‘ request be
dented. The City of Encinitas strongly agrees with your staffs recommendation
to deny Centex Homes’ request
The City of Encinitas is currently preparing a traffic model to determine the
traffic volumes that can be expected on both City’s streets with the subject road
connection In place. I believe that the traffic circulation will improve with the
road connection in place,
Thank you in advance for your positive consideration on this very important matter.
Sincen3ly.
