DISCUSSION:
On April 10, 2001, the City Council conditionally approved Encroachment Permit No. N2001-

In order to guarantee completion of the public improvements, the developer has executed an
appropriate agreement and provided accompanying security in the form of Payment Bond
Certificates for Faithful Performance (Serial No. 0719033128) and to guarantee Labor and
Material payments (Serial No. 0719033136).
The agreement establishes the developer's obligation to complete the public improvement
construction. The faithful performance surety and the labor and materials surety are in the
amount of $29,000 each, which is 100 percent of the estimated cost of the improvements.

to which the time of performance was extended.

improvements. Acceptance by the CITY of the Improvements shall not constitute an assumption by the
CITY of any responsibility for any damage or taking covered by this paragraph.
12. CITY shall not be responsible for the design or construction of the development
or the Improvements pursuant to the approved improvement plans or map, regardless of any negligent
action or inaction taken by the CITY in approving the plans or map, unless the particular improvement
design was specifically required by CITY over written objection by PERMITTEE submitted to the City
Engineer before approval of the particular improvement design, which objection indicated that the
particular improvement design was dangerous or defective and suggested an alternative safe and
feasible design. After acceptance of the Improvements, the PERMITTEE shall remain obligated to
eliminate any defect in design or dangerous condition caused by the design or construction defect,
however PERMITTEE shall not be responsible for routine maintenance. It is the intent of this section
that PERMITTEE shall be responsible for all liability for design and construction of the Improvements
installed or work done pursuant to this Agreement and that CITY shall not be liable for any negligence,
nonfeasance, misfeasance and malfeasance in approving, reviewing, checking, or correcting any plans
or specifications or in approving, reviewing or inspecting any work or construction. The improvement
security shall not be required to cover the provisions of this paragraph.

Improvements required by this Agreement within the time set forth herein, or fail to comply with any
other obligation contained herein, they shall be jointly and severally liable to the CITY for any
administrative expenses and attorney's fees and costs incurred in obtaining compliance with this
Agreement and any such expenses and fees incurred in processing any action for damages or for any
other remedies permitted by law.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, PERMITTEE has executed this Agreement and the CITY OF

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
ITEM NO.
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Public Works Department
SUBJECT: ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT AND PERMIT FOR CONSTRUCTION
AND MAINTENANCE OF PRIVATE IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE
ALLEY RIGHT -OF -WAY ADJACENT TO 405 & 405'/2 GOLDENROD
AVENUE, CORONA DEL MAR (N2001 -110)
OWNER: Shelley Nora Walker, Trustee to the Brandt Family Survivor's Trust
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Approve the Encroachment Permit Application No. 2001 -110 subject to:
1. The execution of an Encroachment Agreement providing for the construction of
an alley extension structure that will become City property after it is completed
and accepted by the City, and the Mayor and City Clerk are authorized to
execute this agreement. The Encroachment Agreement also requires the Owner
to maintain the slope, landscaping, and fence below the structure.
2. An Encroachment Permit issued by the Public Works Department.
DISCUSSION:
At the March 27th meeting, the City Council requested additional information concerning
this item.
Rex Brandt's estate property consists of four lots located on the westerly side of
Goldenrod Avenue, adjacent to the pedestrian bridge that crosses over Bayside Drive.
The northerly - or upper two lots (405 and 407) front on an improved section of Goldenrod
Avenue. The property at 407 Goldenrod Avenue has full alley access and a garage on
the alley as well as a carport on Goldenrod Avenue. The property at 405 Goldenrod
Avenue has partial alley access across approximately 13 feet of the rear of the property
and no drive access from Goldenrod Avenue. The existing residential structures currently
occupying 403, 405, and 407 Goldenrod Avenue are to be demolished.
Item C of City Council Policy L -2 - under the section, 'RESIDENTIAL ZONES AND
RESIDENTIAL USES — SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS" states: "Street curb openings shall
not be permitted to residential property which abuts an alley."
SUBJECT: ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT AND PERMIT FOR CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF PRIVATE
IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE ALLEY RIGHT -OF -WAY ADJACENT TO 405 8 405 % GOLDENROD AVENUE,

April 10, 2001

The current owner of the Rex Brandt estate properties is Shelley Nora Walker, trustee
to the Brandt Family Survivor's Trust. The representative of the owner, Mr. Eric Welton,
proposes to construct a duplex on both 405 and 407 Goldenrod Avenue. In
accordance with City Council L -2, the drive access to 407 Goldenrod Avenue will be
closed and the access will be taken from the alley. To gain full vehicular access from
the alley to the proposed duplex at 405 and 405 Yz Goldenrod, the owners
representative requests that the City permit the construction of a structure at the end of
the alley to extend the alley by approximately 16 feet. The proposed alley extension
structure improvements are shown on Exhibits A and B. Also attached are pictures
showing story poles that approximate the limits of the alley extension structure deck.
The proposed alley extension structure will be constructed of reinforced concrete and
include a vehicular guardrail and pedestrian railing complying with City standards. The
structure and alley improvements will require an Encroachment Permit issued by the
Public Works Department to do the construction in the public alley right -of -way. From
the alley, this structural extension will appear to be a part of the alley and it will be built
to meet the standards for public alley improvements.
Council Policy L -6, "Private Encroachments in the Public Right -of- Way ", prohibits
private structural encroachments in the right -of -way. When the construction of the alley
extension structure has been completed and accepted by the Public Works Department
it will be maintained by the City. The area below the structure will not have any public
access. This area will be fenced and landscaped by the applicant and should be
maintained by the adjoining property owner.
In addition to the standard Encroachment Permit Conditions, the following conditions
will be required:
1. An Encroachment Agreement shall be executed to cover the construction of
the alley extension structure and provide for the continuing maintenance of
the area below the structure.
2. A Building Permit for the 405 and 405 Yz Goldenrod Avenue improvements
shall include the alley extension structure and all the requirements of the
Building Department shall be met.
The attached Encroachment Agreement provides for the approval by the Public Works
Director of the plans and specifications with supporting design calculations and
geotechnical studies for the alley extension structure. Liability, automobile, and workers
compensation insurance - with the City named as additional insured - as well as labor
and performance bonds will be required. The City will own and be responsible for
maintaining the alley extension structure after it is completed and accepted by the City.
The owner will be responsible for the installation and maintenance of the fence, slope,
and landscaping under the structure. The owner will hold the City harmless from claims
related to the construction of the alley extension structure. This agreement will be
recorded and the conditions will run with the land.
SUBJECT: ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT AND PERMIT FOR CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF PRIVATE
IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE ALLEY RIGHT -OF -WAY ADJACENT TO 405 & 405 % GOLDENROD AVENUE,
CORONA DEL MAR IN 2000 -254)
April 10, 2001
Page 3
Some of the nearby property owners along Bayside Drive - below and westerly of the
site - have expressed concern over the impacts of the proposed alley extension from
safety and geotechnical perspectives. The design approvals required by the
Encroachment Permit and the Encroachment Agreement will review these concerns
and provide for a structure that meets Public Works and Building Department
standards.
The construction of the alley extension structure is tied to the duplex construction and
considered to be a minor structure categorically exempt from CEQA. The City
Attorney's office has prepared a separate memo concerning this issue (copy attached).
The duplex construction does not require a Coastal Permit. At the present time, staff
does not know if the Coastal Commission will separate the alley extension structure
from the duplex construction and require work in the alley right -of -way to have a
Coastal Permit. If the Coastal Commission staff determines that a permit is required,
one will have to be obtained before work on the duplex can begin.
With the exception of the existing 407 Goldenrod Avenue drive to be removed when a
new duplex is constructed, all of the properties on Goldenrod Avenue between the
pedestrian bridge and First Avenue take garage access from the alley. Exhibit C shows
a front elevation of the proposed duplexes at 405 and 407 Goldenrod Avenue. Both
would have garage access from the alley. Exhibit D shows 405 Goldenrod taking
garage access from the street. If this were to occur, one of the two street parking
places gained in front of 405 and 407 would be lost. A drive access to 405 Goldenrod
Avenue would be directly across the street from the heavily used bicycle access to the
Goldenrod Avenue pedestrian bridge, and cars backing out of the drive would conflict
with this use. A drive at this location would also require the removal of a very tall palm
tree.
If the City Council determines that extending the alley is not the best way to provide
access to this parcel, the Council can make the following findings and require a
condition related to a driveway off Goldenrod Avenue:
FINDINGS
1. City Council Policy L -2 does not apply to this property.
2. Access may be provided from Goldenrod Avenue and that access may exceed
50% of the lot frontage.
CONDITION
That the existing palm tree be relocated to the common property line.
