AB# 15,36 TITLE: APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
AND AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS FOR THE
MTG. 8/l O/99 CANNON ROADKARLSBAD BOULEVARD PROJECT
PROJECT NO. 3671 DEPT. l?NG
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. $?- 3-&j approving plans and specifications prepared by SB&O, Inc., for
the widening of the south side of Cannon Road from Carlsbad Boulevard to El Arbol Drive and
authorizing the City Clerk to advertise for bids for the construction of these improvements.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Plans and specifications for the widening of the south side of Cannon Road from Carlsbad
Boulevard to El Arbol Drive have been completed. Features of the project include adding a second
eastbound travel lane and eastbound bike lane on Cannon Road as well as curb, gutter, sidewalk
and street light improvements. In addition, the project will improve drainage in the area and the
traffic signal at the intersection of Carlsbad Boulevard and Cannon Road will be modified to include
two new signal poles at the southeast corner. Cannon Road will receive an asphalt overlay from
Carlsbad Boulevard east to the railroad tracks. A number of existing utilities owned by SDG&E,
Daniel’s Cable and Pacific Bell will require relocation. The utility companies will do this work at their
own expense.
Due to existing slopes and the new grades created by the roadway widening, existing retaining
walls adjacent to the two properties west of Los Robles Drive will require reconstruction. In addition,
it will be necessary to construct new retaining walls adjacent to the two properties east of Los
Robles Drive. Numerous meetings have been held with the owners of the four affected
single-family homes along Cannon Road. Each owner has dedicated right-of-way for utility
relocations and street widening purposes. Screen walls and other onsite improvements will be
constructed to minimize the effect of the roadway widening on existing properties. Walls will be
constructed of split faced concrete block and will be sprayed with graffiti resistant spray. The areas
outside the retaining walls and screen walls along the length of the project will be landscaped and
irrigated.
This project is one of six projects included in the Local Streets/Sidewalks Upgrade Program,
Project 3671. This project was separated from the other sidewalk improvement projects due to its
construction size and the impending need for completion. The City Arborist has walked the site and
determined that there are no “significant” trees within the public right-of-way. One star pine tree is
being removed from private right-of-way at the request of the owner.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This project qualifies as being within the scope of the City’s Master Environmental Impact Report
for the General Plan (MEIR 93-01) in accordance with Section 21083.3 of the California
Environmental Quality Act; therefore, the Planning Director issued a Notice of Prior Compliance on
June 14, 1999. With regard to air quality and circulation impacts, the City’s MEIR found the
cumulative impacts of the implementation of projects consistent with the General Plan are
significant and adverse due to regional factors, therefore, the City Council adopted a statement of
overriding considerations. The project is consistent with the General Plan and as to those effects,
no additional environmental document is required.
