RELINQUISHMENT OF ACCESS RIGHTS TO WALNUT AVENUE
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Tustin City Council, at their meeting of April 7, 1986, approve the
relinquishment of access rights to Walnut Avenue from Tract No. 10815 and
authorize the Mayor to execute a Quitclaim Deed for said relinquishment, subject
to City approval of a plan for said work.
BACKGROUND:
The Signal Development 'Company developed the office condominium project (Tract
No. 10815) at the northeasterly corner of Walnut Avenue and Jamboree Road. This
development is currently addressed on.Chambers Road where all vehicular access is
taken.
As a condition of Tract No. 8590, the original industrial complex development, ~ll
access rights to Walnut Avenue were dedicated to the City.
DISCUSSION:
Signal Development Company has requested a driveway opening to their development
from Walnut Avenue and has requested the City to relinquish vehicular access
rights for same. A copy of their request is attached. The location of this
requested driveway is shown in red on the attached aerial photo.
The proposed access on Walnut Avenue-would be restricted to right turn movements
to and from the site and no openings in the median island would be permitted.
Staff has reviewed this requested driveway location and we have determined that it
will not pose an access problem with Walnut Avenue and would recommend that access
rights to Walnut Avenue be relinquished for a distance of 45 lineal feet as shown
on the attached aerial photo. If this request is approved by Council, staff will
prepare the appropriate Quitclaim Deed to accomplish said relinquishment. The
approval of this request should be conditioned to require Signal Development
Company to submit a plan indicating all proposed improvements for review and
approval by the City.

Dear Mr. Ledendecker:
The above-referenced office development was constructed in ~
1980. We have been trying to sell this complex since 1981. Some
of the problems we have encountered since our purchase have been
the following:
Our development (office use) did not seem compatible with
the majority of uses (Hi-tech/R&D development) within the
Irvine Industrial Complex - Tustin~
2. Jamboree Extension which was supposed to have been construc-
ted a few years ago never happenedt
Developments in the area took longer than were earlier
proposed.
When.the Tustin Corporate Center was finally developed, across
Walnut from'our complex, we felt this would help to generate
traffic and, therefore, give some exposure to the area. One of
the physical attributes which was granted to this development but
denied to ours was ingress and egress to Walnut. If we were
granted this access, I believe we would have been able to
generate more interest in our complex.

Prospective tenants have found it difficult to find our offices
since the address is Chambers, not Walnu~ and does not share a
well known street identity.
I am cognizant that Walnut has a concrete divider at our
development; however, if we could be given some consideration
for a right-turn only, I feel this could help identify our
'complex through better accessibility.
I would appreciate a response from you or one:of your staff
personnel as soon as possible. I am available for a meeting on
the above matter at your convenience. Please call me at (714)
261-0360.
Very truly yours,
