HomeMy WebLinkAbout10 - Curb Opening Relocation 201 Apolena AvenueSeptember 11, 2001
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
ITEM NO. 10
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Public Works Department
SUBJECT: APPLICATION TO RELOCATE A CURB OPENING AT 201 APOLENA
AVENUE ON BALBOA ISLAND (EPN2001 -0297)
OWNER: CHUCK BRUMBAUGH
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the application subject to an Encroachment Permit from the Public Works
Department.
DISCUSSION:
Mr. Ian Harrison is the architect for Mr. Chuck Brumbaugh, the owner of property
located at 201 Apolena Avenue on Balboa Island. On behalf of Mr. Brumbaugh, Mr.
Harrison requests permission to relocate a curb opening from Apolena Avenue to Park
Avenue to provide access for a two car garage (see attached letter, exhibit, and
photos).
The proposed redevelopment is designed with the main entrance on Apolena Avenue
and garage entrance on Park Avenue. The proposed curb opening relocation will not
eliminate any additional on- street parking, because one on- street parking space is
being eliminated on Park Avenue and added on Apolena Avenue. Since the property
does not abut an alley, a curb opening is necessary in order to provide vehicular access
to the property. The City requires on -site parking for a single - family residence. In
addition, the existing curb opening on Apolena Avenue is substandard, oversized, and
extends over the projected property line.
The proposed curb opening is similar in nature to other properties that do not abut
alleys on Balboa Island (see attached letter and photos). Council Policy L -2 requires
that no permit shall be issued for driveways on Clubhouse Drive, Glen Drive, Balboa
Island or on the ocean side of Ocean Boulevard without City Council approval. City
Council approved a curb opening for a single car garage at 1508 Park Avenue during
the May 23, 1994, City Council meeting. The property at 1508 Park Avenue did not
abut an alley and one on- street parking space was eliminated on Park Avenue.
SUBJECT: APPLICATION TO RELOCATE A CURB OPENING AT 201 APOLENA AVENUE IN BALBOA ISLAND

If the City Council decides to permit the curb opening relocation, the Public Works
Department recommends that the approval be subject to an Encroachment Permit
issued by the Public Works Department.

Re: 201 Apolena Avenue, Balboa Island
Dear Mr. Wong,
As shown on the enclosed drawing, I am submitting for an encroachment permit to relocate the
driveway access on a lot on Balboa Island. The owners intend to tear down the existing house
and construct a new single - family- dwelling and garage. The property is unique in size and
orientation for Balboa Island; there is no alley access for the garage. The existing curb cut is on
Apolena Avenue. It is our hope to relocate the curb cut to Park Avenue, thereby orienting the
living portion of the house toward Apolena as are the other homes along the street.
We realize Park Avenue is more traveled than Apolena. However, having the garage access on
Park would be no less of a problem than cars stopping to park along Park Avenue, which probably
happens more frequently than trips in and out of the garage. There are existing examples of
garages with their access off Park Avenue and I have never seen them to be a problem.
Yours
