No. 3

DATE: JULY 14, 1982 1 _ ` Inter - C om }�
TO: WILLIAM HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: BOB LEDENDECKER, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: CURB, GUTTER, AND SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION (DOWNTOWN AREA)
RECOMMENDATION:
T at the City Council, at their meeting, review the attached survey letter and
direct staff to mail same to the twenty-five property owners whose properties do
not contain curbs and gutters.
BACKGROUND:
t t eir ast meeting, the Tustin City Council requested a preliminary study on
the installation of curbs, gutters, and possibly sidewalks in the downtown area
bounded by First Street, "C" Street, the Santa Ana Freeway, and the Costa Mesa
(Newport) Freeway. This request originated from concerns voiced by residents of
the area regarding ponded water and a mosquito nuisance allegedly resulting from
said ponded water.
DISCUSSION:
A preliminary survey reveals the following information from within the study area:
Number of individually owned parcels
with no curb and gutter existing . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 25
Number of parcels with curb only existing
and a poorly constructed asphaltic concrete flowline . . . . . 67
Number of parcels with no sidewalk existing . . . . . . . . . 109
A firm estimated cost for improvements for each parcel cannot be established until
such time extensive survey work can be completed to define each parcel in detail.
However, a rough estimate can be establised based upon a per lineal foot of
improvement frontage. These preliminary figures will be generated for the parcels
in need of curb and gutter only. No sidewalk cost will be included. These
estimates are general in nature and could vary as much as 25+%. Based upon a cost
of $40.00 per lineal foot of frontage, the following are costs for typical size
parcels within the area:
50
ft.
wide
parcel
- $2,000
55
ft.
wide
parcel
- $29200
100
ft.
wide
parcel
- $4,000
Corner parcels with frontages requiring improvements along the side yards will
have an additional cost depending upon the depth of each parcel.

RE: CURB, GUTTER, AND SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION
Dear Resident:
The Tustin City Council has been made aware of the fact that there is a problem
with casual water ponding in the streets in your area, which is possibly a source
of mosquito breeding, and we are conducting a survey as to how many property
owners wish to consider having curb and gutter and perhaps sidewalks placed in
front of the residences.
The issue of funding this work could be by a combination of City funds as well as
property owner funds. There are no firm costs for the suggested work at this
time, but as a preliminary, non-binding situation, we request that you complete
the questions below and return one copy of this letter in the self-addressed,
stamped envelope by no later than August 2, 1982.
The proposed work would consist of the following in addition to the curb and
gutter and perhaps sidewalks:
1. Removal of shrubs and/or trees as needed
2. Grading or sloping of lawns to meet new curb or sidewalk
3. Reconstruction of walks and driveways to join the new curb or sidewalk
4. Relocation and/or removal of any fences, walls, etc. within the areas of
proposed construction
On corner properties, a small, triangular-shaped parcel will be required for
dedication to accomodate the construction of the curb returns.
If there are any questions regarding this survey, please call my office at any
time.
Very truly yours,
BOB LEDENDECKER
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/
CITY ENGINEER
I desire
I do not desire
to have curb, gutter, and perhaps sidewalk placed in front of my residence. It is
my understanding that funding for this work has not been established and the
completion of this survey does not obligate me in any way.

Dear resident:
The City Council's attention has been called to the nuisance water,
drainage problems, and resultant mosquito breeding in your area.
The Council has requested your opinion to determine if you would be
interested in street improvements to cure the problem. Before making cost
estimates for the improvements, we would appreciate knowing your desires.
The return of the attached questionnaire will in no way obligate you to
these improvements but will merely indicate to the City Council as to
whether or not there is sufficient interest to pursue the project in more
detail.
Please return your response in the self addressed stamped envelope by
August 9th to enable the Council to further consider its proposal at the
August 16th meeting. If there are any questions regarding this survey,
please call the office of the Director of Public Works (544-8890).
