FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION
SUBJECT: CITIZEN COMPLAINT - EL CAMINO REAL
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Receive and file.
BACKGROUND:
At the August 5, 1991 City Council meeting, Helen Lawrence raised
a complaint regarding excessive noise, truck traffic and pollution
caused by construction contractor's use of the vacant lot at 165 El
Camino Real.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has investigated this complaint and confirmed that
Intersection Maintenance Service (IMS) of Anaheim has been
utilizing the site as a construction staging site and storage area
for their work on a City contract.
I.M.S. is under contract to the City and is the contractor for
traffic signal installations and/or modifications at the five
following intersections:
* Yorba Street at Vandenberg Lane
* Bryan Avenue at Farmington Road
* Red Hill Avenue at Mitchell Avenue
* Walnut Avenue at Browning Avenue
* Red Hill Avenue at Bryan Avenue
As indicated at the last City Council meeting, the contractor
reached an agreement directly with the property owner for their use
of the vacant lot at El Camino Real. The City was not involved in
this agreement.
The contractor has been informed that he must apply for a Temporary
Use Permit from the Community Development Department to determine
if his use of the property, as a construction yard, can be
continued. During this application period for the temporary use
permit the Contractor has been directed to curtail any excessive
noises and creation of dust, and to reduce any unnecessary truck
traffic.

I.M.S. has indicated that their current contract will last an
additional 6-8 weeks. However, the City just awarded a second
Traffic Signal Improvement Contract to the same firm,. but they have
not indicated that they plan on utilizing the site for the second
project.
After the contractor has processed the application for the
temporary use permit, staff will provide a follow-up report to the
Council. A copy of this report has been sent to Ms. Helen Lawrence
for her information.
