PROJECT NO. 3851
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. do* l-375 approving plans and specifications and authorization to

ITEM EXPLANATION:
In 1999, a new sidewalk was constructed along the southerly side of Chestnut Avenue from
El Camino Real to 300’ west of Donna Drive. As part of the sidewalk project, the roadway was
widened toward the south between El Camino Real and Cameo Road. As part of the widening
the elevation of the roadway and, more importantly, the parkway adjacent to the first three
residential properties east of El Camino Real was raised. As a result of these modifications, the first
three residential properties along the southerly side of Chestnut Avenue between El Camino Real
and Cameo Road experienced a loss of privacy in their backyards. To restore their privacy the
subject project would install a low retaining wall, a seven-foot privacy fence, and landscaping along
the southerly parkway of Chestnut Avenue.
During the design phase of the project, staff has conducted meetings with the property owners to
define the scope and type of improvements. The property owners are supportive of the plans as
proposed. To facilitate the construction of the improvements, the property owners have signed
“Permission for Right of Entry” forms that grant the City permission to enter their backyards adjacent
to Chestnut Avenue.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Engineer’s estimated cost to complete this project is:
Based on the Engineer’s Estimate, there are sufficient funds in the project account to complete the
construction. The project is budgeted in the General Capital Construction fund.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
This project is categorically exempt from the environmental review process under Section 15301
Class 1 (C) of the Public Resources Code (California Environmental Quality Act).
