Re: Santa Ana Freeway (I-5) Widening and I-5/RTE 55 Interchange
Reconstruction.
As you are most likely aware, Caltrans is currently underway with the
reconstruction of the I-5/RTE 55 Interchange and is currently in
progress of acquiring rights of way for said interchange work and the
proposed widening of the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway within the city
limits of Tustin. Caltrans is the lead agency on these acquisitions
and will be dealing directly with each of the affected property
owners.
The Tustin City Council has expressed their concern that each
property owner be made totally aware of any impacts that may result
to their property(s) as a result of Caltran's acquisitions. It
appears that many of these acquisitions will be a partial taking of
an individuals property, which may result in the need for the
property owner to be responsible for certain improvements on the
remaining property. Any required improvements on these remaining
property(s) willd requiNe a plan review and the issuance of a
construction/building permit 'issued by the city. Items of concern
that will be review by the city staff will include, but not be
limited to the following:
1. Building setbacks
2. Onsite traffic circulation and access to public streets
3. Loss of onsite parking spaces as they relate to remaining
dwelling units
4. Loss of onsite open space with respect to remaining structures
and improvements.
In the event you have any questions regarding these above mentioned
city requirements, please direct your questions to the Community
Development at (714) 544-8890, x-270 and any general question
regarding these Caltrans projects and schedules can be directed to
either Bob Jones or Bob Ledendecker in the Engineering Division at
(714) 544-8890, x-280. In the event there are any questions that~
the city staff is unable to respond to, they will certainly
coordinate these questions with the Caltran's staff.
Very truly yours,
Ursula E. Kennedy
