PETITION TO RELOCATE SIDE~ALK
Staff has received the attached petition frcm Mrs. Martha Mareska of 14281A Green
Valley Drive, Tustin. This petition requests that the sidewalk be relocated from its
present location to a location next to the curb. Please refer to the attached
sketch, ne reason for this request is outlined within the petition.
The location of this requested sidewalk relocation is on ~he Green Vall~~ _~ul de sac
southerly of Mitchell Ave. Please refer to the attached location map. This
development was const~dcted in 1963 while the area was in the unincorporated
territory of the County cf Or~%ge. This area was recently annexed to the City. The
garage setba~< (distance be.~we_en the bad< edge of sidewalk ~dd the face of the
garage) was only i5 feet. No_.~mally this distance is a minimum of 20 feet. This 20
feet allc~'s for a car t.~ ~e F~r~d in the driveway and not extend into the entire
sidewalk a~ea. The 1~ f~ot setbacks cause ~he vehicles to extend into the sidewalk
area and caus~ pedestrians tc walk on the lawn areas between the curb and sidewalk,
or walk int~ the street if ~ae !~s are wet.

locations along Green va'i=v and consist of 856 sq. ft., or 20% of the total sidewalk.
area.
The estimated cost for r~oving and replacing the existing sidewalks and drive aprons
is $24,330.00. This estLmate includes the cost of a 6.0 foot wide sidewalk adjacent
to the curb in lieu of a 4.0 foot wide walk because of existing light standards, fire
hydrants and mail boxes.
The petition which was submitted contains 29 signatures, of v~ich some_ are co-tenants
in one dwelling unit. Due to the recent annexation, we do not have records of how
many of these petitioners are renters or property owners. There are tv~nty duplexes,
or forty dwelling units on this block of Green Valley.
Staff does not feel the relocation of this sidewalk at an estimated cost of
$24,330.00 is warranted at this ti~. This tract was developed in 1963 in the County
of Orange to accepted standards of that time and has functioned for eighteen years in
its present state. Staff feels it would be an unwarranted ~rden to the other
taxpayers of the city to proceed with this project with City ft~ds. If the property
owners and tenants feel this sidewalk is a continuing probl~n, this sidewalk
relocation could be aco~plished under a 1911 Assessment District proceeding. This
would pass the direct cost of the project directly back to each property owner.

RECC~M~ATI~:
~fhat the Tustin City Council, at their meeting of April 6, 1981, deny the request for
sidewalk relocation on Green Valley Drive and direct staff to poll each property

proceeding to accc~plish said sidewalk relocation.

The city zs now p!arming to repair cur sidewalks, as you k~ow.
%~l,e¢her or not they are repaired, they are useless to the resiJen-~s because
of their 'position. Cars must park on those sidewalks because .-_he driveways
