Proposed Modification of Myrtle Street Cul-De-Sac
R£COI~4EHDEO ACTION
The City Council, by Minute Action, approve the subject conceptual design
modification of the Myrtle Street cul-de-sac subject to the following
conditions:
1. No on-street parking would be permitted on the cul-de-sac.
2. Any net surplus public property resulting from such a redesign would be
sold at public sale in accordance with State law.
¸3.
All necessary engineering and legal documents and plans shall be the
responsibility of the development proponents and subject to review and
approval by the City Engineer and City Attorney respectively.
4. All costs associated with the installation of the modified improvement
shall be the responsibility of the development proponents.
DISCUSSION
A development proposal by Mr. Burrell Magnasson has resulted in a proposal
to modify the cul-de-sac design of Myrtle Street, north of First by
flipping the "knuckle" and reducing the radius. Exhibit "B" shows the
existing cul-de-sac and how it would affect the proposed development.
Exhibit "A" submitted by the architects, Lee & Strock, shows the
modification and how it would affect the proposed use of the property. The
attached letter indicates some of the benefits derived from the
modification and Exhibit "C" give preliminary information on a proposed
office project developed in accordance with zoning standards.
The proposed development is not currently the question as it will be
subject to future scrutiny and consideration under a Use Permit. However,
the question of modification of the cul-de-sac is crucial to any further
pursuit of the matter. The City Engineering Department has reviewed'the
conceptual design modification and finds no objection to the proposal
subject to the conditions contained within the recommended action.

Dear Mr. Brotemarkle,
I submit this letter and the enclosed exhibits to you to request placement on
the May 17, 1982 agenda of the Planning Agency meeting.
As we discussed, the Myrtle Street cul-de-sac in its existing position does not
allow for adequate utilization of the land area adjacent to the freeway (see
Exhibit B). After interpreting the concerns of the city, we feel locating the
building "parallel" to the freeway creates the greatest frontyard setback and
significantly softens the impact on Yorba Street. It also eliminates a potential
"alley" situation which would result in locating the building along the northerly
property line.
As shown in the attached Exhibit A, it is our proposal to "flip" the existing
cul-de-sac to allow for more usable land area adjacent to the freeway. After
reviewing this plan with Mr. Ledendecker, Director of Public Works, we have
reduced the radius of the cul-de-sac to a 32 foot curbface dimension and a
37 foot property line dimension, allowing for a 5 foot public sidewalk adjacent
to the curb.
The reduction in the cul-de-sac size will create no adverse effect on motorists
utilizing the street as the acceptable turning radius for large automobiles is
30 feet. This should benefit the larger Fire Department vehicles which cannot
presently maneuver through the cul-de-sac.
