TIME EXTENSION, DESIGN REVIEW 87-33
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency approve the request
for a 12 month extension of Design Review 87-33 by adoption of
Resolution No. RDA 90-3.
BACKGROUND
On December 21, 1987, the Redevelopment Agency approved Design
Revie 87-33 for construction of a 25,281 square foot retail
cente. This center is to be located on a 1.9 acre parcel at the
.lortheast corner of El Camino Real and Newport Avenue. On November
71 1988, the Agency granted a 12 month extension for the project
given the extraordinary efforts needed to remove soil contaminates
from the site.
The applicant has requested another 12 month extension as the site
clean up from soil contaminates has taken a significantly greater
amount of time than originally anticipated (Attachment A). The
applicant is presently making progress in soil clean-up and working
drawing plan check is virtually complete.
SUMMARY
Staff has reviewed the applicant's request and considers the
request for extension to be valid due to the soil contamination
problems of the site. The applicant has been making progress since
the last extension. A resolution has been prepared to ensure
compliance with all previous conditions while allowing for the
requested extension.

Re: Request for Extension of Design Review Approval No. 87-33
Retail Center at 1011 El Camino Real
Dear Ms. Shingleton:
We hereby request a twelve-month extension of Design Review Approval No 87-33 which
currently expires December 21, 1989. The approval was originally granted December 21, 1987
and an extension was granted November 7, 1988 as the clean-up of hydrocarbon (gasoline)
contamination on the site was still incomplete preventing the transfer of property and the start of
construction.
According to discussions with our architect it is our understanding that we have now made all
xrections to the construction drawings required by the planning and building departments and,
expect for one remaining fire department issue regarding our water service connection, the plans
are approved and ready for permit.
The remediation of the contamination on the site due to leakage from pre-existing underground
tanks has slowly progressed. The contaminated soil was excavated, treated, and replaced down to
25 feet. A system for removing the contaminants from below this level has been approved by the
various agencies involved including Orange County Health Department, the lead agency for
overseeing clean-up projects in our area. The underground portion of the system has been installed
and inspected.
All that remains to our knowledge is the installation of the above ground filtering equipment for the
remediation system and clarification of some issues contained in two of the several reports that
make up the Site Remediation Plan. We have been told by Orange County Health that they
anticipate meeting the last week of December with the current owner of the site, the environmental
consultants who prepared the Plan and ourselves to resolve any outstanding items standing in the
way of final Orange County approval.
Once this approval Js received, the property will be transferred to us and construction can begin.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me. `
Very truly yours,
V --
