DEDICATION 11-6-8911-6-89 ,TE: OCTOBER 31, 1989 Inter- Com TO: FROM: SUBJECT: WILLIAM HUSTON, CITY MANAGER PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF STREET DEDICATION - IRVINE BOULEVARD RECOMMENDATION: Pleasure of the City Council. BACKGROUND: At their meeting of October 16, 1989, the City Council reviewed a request from Chevron USA for the waiver of street dedication along Irvine Boulevard and Newport Avenue adjacent to the service station site at the northeasterly corner of the intersection. A copy of the previous staff report dated 10/10/89, Chevron USA's letter of request dated 9/15/89, and a preliminary plot plan of the site are attached for the City Council's reference. -after discussing this item with the representative of Chevron and the Yaff, the matter was referred back to.staff to meet with Chevron to determine what modifications/alterations could be made, if any, along with the requirements of the street dedications. DISCUSSION: On October 19, 1989, staff met with Mr. Fiscus of Chevron USA to review the impacts of the required street dedications on the existing service station development and its proposed'modifications/alterations. As a result of this meeting, the following has been determined: 1. The remaining distances between the existing building footprint and the proposed street rights-of-way lines inclusive of dedication~ are not adequate for on-site circulation. 2. Adequate on-site circulation per Chevron USA would include a 10-foot wide service aisle between the dispenser island and the stree~ right-of-way line and a double'20-foot wide aisle between the dispenser island and the existing building. 3. The movement of the dispenser islands would create the need to relocate and refabricate the canopy over service aisles in lieu of the proposed minor alterations. As a result of this re-evaluation, it has been determined that the ~roposed alterations proposed by Chevron USA would not be compatible ,~ith the staff-requested street dedications. It is also noted that, if the street dedications are required, Chevron USA would most likely not proceed with the site improvements due to the resultant impacts to the operation of the site. ~AIVER OF STREET DEDICATION - IRVINE BOULEVARD OCTOBER 31, 1'989 PAGE 2 An alternative solution would be to require the dedication by deed or irrevocable offer of dedication and not exercise the use of the property until such time the traffic demands require the intersection improvements. At that time the City would most likely be required to acquire the remainder of the parcel as a' total acquisition due to the impacts to the business operation. In the event the street .dedications are not required and it is determined that the City has not adequately protected the arterial highway rights-of-way as prescribed in the County of Orange Arterial Highway Financing Program (AHFP), the City could be designated ineligible for future AHFP, OCUTT, or FAU funding programs.

BACKGROUND: Chevron USA, Inc. has requested a waiver of the required street dedication along Irvine Boulevard and Newport'Avenue at the northeasterly corner of the intersection with respect to the proposed alterations of the Chevron site.., -These proposed alterations to the existing Chevron station generally ~n'sist of the following improvements:~ 1.

Irvine Boulevard between Newport Avenue and Browning Avenue is currently classified as a modified major arterial highway 'in · both' the CitY and County of Orange Master Plan of Arterial Highways. The modified major arterial requires a right-of-way width of 100 feet except at intersections. Newport Avenue between Irvine Boulevard and Old Irvine Boulevard is classified as a primary arterial highway which requires 100 ~eet of right-of-way width. Both streets adjacent to the Chevron Station ~rrently exist as 50-foot half street right-of-ways,- , WAIVER OF STREET DEDICATION - IRVINE BOULEVARD . ~ OCTOBER 10, 1989 PAGE 2 DISCUSSION: Staff has determined from traffic projections t.hat-the future operation of the intersection will requ,ire dual left-turn movements from each leg of the intersection. The installation of dual left-turn movements would require additional right-of-way (10 feet) along Irvine Boulevard and .... (8 feet) along Newport Avenue. It has been requested in the conditions of approval of the site plan revigw that street dedication be required on both streets. "In''' addition to the street dedication, Chevron should consider relocating the fuel dispenser island under their current project to conform to the dedications and preclude future ~disruption to the station operation. Chevron USA, Inc,~ has requested a waiver of the street dedication per the attached letter dated 9-15-89, due to the property not being owned by Chevron. Chevron has a lease on_the property, from Mrs. Shirley Griset which will run for an additional twelve years. Any street dedication at this site would require action by the property owner, Mrs. Griset, ~n lieu of Chevron USA, Inc ~-~The staff is only requesting dedication at this time and is not request- ng that any street improvements be made at this time. Dedications have ~lready been made at the northwesterly corner of the intersection (Plaza Lafayette) and the.developers at the southwesterly corner have already included the required dedication into their preliminary plans for development. · Bob Ledendecker Director of Public Works/City Engineer BL:mv .
