RE: INFLUENTIAL SQUARE STORM DRAIN PROBLEMS
Dear Ms. Megallon:
The Tustin City Council is in receipt of your recent October 7, 1986 letter and
after lengthy discussion at their last Council meeting, they have asked that I
respond to you on this matter.
During 1984-85, when the City was completing the design for the storm drain along
Nisson Road to intercept the freeway drain that currently outlets on the
Influential Square site, it was discovered that a portion of Nisson Road in the
vicinity of "B" Street was still under the jurisdiction of Caltrans.
Additionally, about that same time period, Caltrans determined that the existing
Nisson Road alignment would require relocation in a southerly direction to
accommodate both the interchange modifications as well as the freeway widening.
This proposed relocation of Nisson Road delayed the installation of the storm
drain facility until such time the new right of way for Nisson Road could be
acquired and cleared for construction. It is the City's intent to complete the
design and implement construction as soon as the relocated Nisson Road right of
way can be acquired and cleared.
As you are aware, the Influential Square development was constructed in 1954 under
the jurisdiction of the County of Orange. Both the storm drain at the southerly
end of the development and the freeway drain outletting on to and at the northerly
end of the development were constructed at that time and have been functioning for
approximately twenty two years. After the flooding occurred in 1983, the City
maintenance crews removed many objects from the drain at the southerly end of the
development and installed bars over the inlet to screen out many of the larger
objects that created a problem in the past.
Staff's recommendations to City Council were as follows:
Maintain a continuous inspection of the drain located at the southerly
end of the condominium development during each rainy season.
Maintain the City committment to complete the westerly storm drain
extension along Nisson Road to intercept the freeway drain, and once
Caltrans has obtained and cleared right of way for the Nisson Road
relocation, implement the construction at the earliest practical date.
