REQUEST FOR STREET DEDICATION WAIVER
RECOMMENDATION:
In the event the City Council is desirous of proceeding with the widening of the
northerly side of Seventeenth Street between the Costa Mesa (Newport) Freeway and
Prospect Avenue north to its ultimate major arterial street width, then it is
recommended that the request for street dedication waiver be denied.
BACKGROUND:
Manny's Coffie Shops has submitted a site plan for the construction of a new
kitchen facility at their location of 17231 E. Seventeenth Street. As a part of
the plan review process, certain conditions were requested by the Engineering
Division per routine and standard City policies/requirements. A copy of the staff
report is attached for your information.
Item No. I of this report requests the dedication of a ten foot wide parcel of
land across the Seventeenth Street frontage of the subject parcel.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has received a letter from Mr. Thomas M. Simms of Manny's Coffee Shops
requesting a waiver to the street dedication requirement (copy attached). As
indicated in Mr. Simms' letter, their firm is a leasee of the subject property and
has no control of the dedication. The property owner, Mr. Wilde, has indicated
that he is not willing to dedicate the subject property (10 ft. wide strip) for
street widening purposes.
Seventeenth Street is presently classified as a major arterial highway (60 ft.
half street) in the City and County arterial masterplan of highways. At the
present time, the area adjacent to Manny's Coffee Shop is developed and dedicated
to a primary arterial highway width (50 ft. half street). The southerly side of
Seventeenth Street is presently dedicated and developed to the major arterial
highway status between the Costa Mesa (Newport) Freeway and Prospect Avenue
south. The northerly side of Seventeenth Street between the Costa Mesa (Newport) .
Freeway and JoJo's Restaurant and from Laurinda Way to Prospect Ave. north is
developed to a primary width highway. The areas along the north side of
Seventeenth Street between Yorba Street north and Treehaven Ave. and from 150~
ft. easterly of Laurinda Way and Prospect Avenue north have already previously
been dedicated to the ultimate right-of-way.
At a workshop session in March, 1982 and also at a recent budget workshop session,
Council has expressed a desire to widen the northerly side of Seventeenth Street
between the Costa Mesa (Newport) Freeway and Prospect Avenue north to its ultimate
width as a major arterial highway.
REQUEST FOR STREET DEDICATION WAIVER
AUGUST 10, 1982
PAGE TWO
Current City policy requires the dedication or irrevocable offers of dedication of
street rights-of-way when any of the following occurs on a parcel of land:
1. Development of a new structure or site development.
2. Modification of an existing structure wherein the. assessment evaluation
is increased by 50% or more.
The proposed development appears to be a kitchen facility that could be utilized
for a central kitchen-type facility for other Manny's Coffee Shops and not
exclusively for the facility at 17231 Seventeenth Street.
The estimated value of land requested for dedication is as follows:
10 ft. x 181 ft. of frontage = 1810 sq. ft.
1810 sq. ft. x $18.00/sq. ft. ~ $32,580
In the event the right-of-way is not dedicated at this time, an additional amount
of $32,580 plus acquisition costs will have to be included within the project
budget.

Dear Ms. Chamberlain:
RE: Manny's Restaurant
17231 E.17th St., Tustin.
I am writing to you pursuant to our phone conversation of
last Thursday. Your time and attention was much appreciated.
As I explained to you then, we received your letter
listing conditions to be fulfilled before we could receive a
building permit for our kitchen extension. Ell conditions can
be fulfilled without delay except for your re.c~uest that the land-
lord dedicate 10 feet of property frontage on 17th Street, Tustin.
I contacted our landlord Mr. Wilde, and discussed the
dedication with his representative, Mr. Frank Bueche. Mr. Bueche
stated that Mr. Wilde's position is that he is not willing to
dedicate the subject property. Hence my phone call to you last week.
We, as the tenant on the subject property, wish to make
improvements to the building located thereupon by expanding and
remodeling the existing Manny's restaurant. The restaurant is 15
years old and definitely can use such improvements. We will have
a first cabin, high volumn "Mimi's Cafe" operation when completed.
The higher volumn, of course, will mean higher tax revenues for Tustin.
As tenants, however, we are in the middle between
Mr. Wilde and the City of Tustin concerning the dedication. We have
no control over either entity. Our lease does not entitle us to
dedicate any part of the subject property.
We are requesting a hearing or meeting, whatever the case,
for the purpose of discussing the recission of the requirement of
dedication.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience with your
thoughts on this matter.

SITE PLAN REVIEW - 17231 E 17TH STREET
The subject site plan has been reviewed with the following comments and/or
concerns:
Since the previous plan review, the City Council has expressed an
interest in widening 17th St. on the northerly side between the freeway
and Prospect Ave. Consequently, an additional 10 feet of right of way
dedication will be required across the 17th St. frontage of the parcel.
No widening improvements will be required at this time.
This widening will require the ultimate loss of three parking spaces.
Will the new building require a separate sanitary sewer or domestic water
service? If so, these connections should be shown on the final
site/grading plan.
3. Orange County Sanitation District No. 7 sewer connection fees will be
required on Parcel 2 of P.M. 81-1028 in the amount of $250.00.
e
Payment of East Orange County Water District fees may be required on
Parcel ;lo. 2 of P.M. 81-1028. Contact Earl Rowenhorst of the Tustin
Water Service for fee amounts.
5. Completion or replacement of all missing or damaged street improvements,
including, but not limited to, the following:
a. Curb and gutter
b. Sidewalk
c. Drive aprons
d. Street lights
e. Street trees
