COMPLETENESS & ISSUES REVIEW
Engineering Department staff has completed a review of the above-referenced project
for application completeness. The application and plans submitted for this proposed
project are currently incomplete and unsuitable for further review due to the
following incomplete items:
1. A preliminary hydrology map and calculations. Show before and after discharges.
The following issues have been identified at this time and shall be addressed prior to
second submittal:
1. The applicant is responsible for half street improvements on Alga Road. A 5 foot
wide sidewalk must be installed along the portion of Alga Road which fronts the
project. A protective pedestrian railing shall also be installed between the sidewalk
and slope. Retaining walls may be necessary to accommodate the required
sidewalk width and 2% grade to street. Show these facilities in detail on the site
plan. The remaining median improvements may be deferred through a contract
agreement for future public improvements.
2. The on-street parking cannot be credited toward the required guest parking spaces.
No striping will be permitted on Unicornio Street . Remove reference to the
Unicornio Street guest parking from the plans.
3. All transitions between curb and driveway approach need to be a minimum of 3 feet
from an extension of the side yard property line. The driveway approach located at
the northwest corner of the property does not comply with this standard. The
transition is at 0 feet from an extension of the project's side boundary line.
4. Some repair of the sidewalk and curb will be required. Add the following note on the
tentative map: "public sidewalk and curb on Unicornio Street will be repaired where
needed per the City Engineer's satisfaction. A right-of-way permit shall be obtained
from the City prior to commencing repair work."
5. On the tentative tract map, show:
a) the location of all structures, fences and topography within 40 feet of the
surrounding property. More specifically, show the existing crib retaining wall
along the east side of the property and the neighbor's existing perimeter
fence located along the west side of the property.
b) Show grade of the proposed private streets from the street terminus to
Unicornio Street. Also, indicate that gutter will be installed in addition to the
curb.
c) A cross section of Unicornio Street.
d) Proposed surface drainage patterns of each individual parcel created. Your
project description indicates that drainage of each residential lot will flow to
each lot's respective private street frontage. However, the planned
development/tentative map does not illustrate this scenario. In order to
obtain minimum surface flow of 1% to the street and prevent cross lot
drainage, pads will need to be raised and terraced between property lines.
Show terracing of the lots (i.e. 2:1 bank slopes). Also provide a typical side-
yard cross section showing drainage swale location and grade from
foundation. If any sub-terrain yard drains are proposed, then add them on
the plans. Yard drains, however, are discouraged and shall be used
minimally.
e) The public storm drain line and the inlet located on Unicornio Street at the
northeast corner of the property. Indicate the size of the storm drain.
f) The driveway locations on the opposite side of Unicornio Street.
g) Project No. "CT 99-14, PUD 99-06, SDP 99-11".
h) Median on Alga Road.
6. Provide site distance lines at the intersection of the proposed private streets and
Unicornio Street. Site distance shall be in accordance with the latest CALTRANS
Highway Design Manual (a site line distance of 330 feet measured 15 feet from the
face of curb). No fences, slopes, berms, or landscaping over 30" in height shall
located within the site corridor.
7. The proposed street trees must be located a minimum of 3 feet from the public right-
of-way. Trees are currently proposed within the right-of-way on Unicornio Street
and Alga Road. Revise landscape plan accordingly.
8. A 3 foot extension of pavement needs to be added at the terminus of each private
street to provide a 3-point turn around for vehicles. Trash trucks must also be able
to make this 3-point turn and comply with turning radius requirements per Figure
407E of the California Department of Transportation Highway Design Manual.
9. All owners involved must give written consent to subdivide property. The application
only has a signature from a representative of the Thomas Trust. Signature(s) on the
application are required from the property owners of Lots 417 and 418. Verification
and clarification of ownership is also required as also stated under the planning
department comments.
Please send the enclosed redlined plans to the applicant and have them resubmit
with their second submittal. If you or the applicant have any questions, please either
see or contact me at extension 4324.
