Huston Tustin Legacy Donation/Demolition February 5, 2007 Page 2 DISCUSSION Light Standards The Orange County Rescue Mission is requesting donation of three (3), twenty (20) foot high existing parking lot standards located on a 18.49 acre City of Tustin owned parcel for permanent use in the Village of Hope parking lot currently under construction at Tustin Legacy. The specific light standards proposed to be removed and relocated to the Village of Hope site are located in the a former bachelor enlisted quarters parking lot to the east of Bumblebee Road, generally between the Village of Hope site and Warner Avenue, as shown on the attached Light Removal Plan. While the typical light standard has a typical lifespan of 20 to 25 years, the City's Public Works Department has determined that the existing light standards to be donated have exceeded their typical useful lifespan and are only worth their salvage value. Staff has also determined that the light standards are not appropriate for reuse by the City. The current value of a new parking light standard would be approximately $250. The Orange County Rescue Mission would perform the work between February 5 and March 5, 2007 subject to execution of a license agreement with the City, as authorized by the City Attorney and any necessary conditions that may be required by Community Development for relocation of the light standards on the Village of Hope site.
