TUSTIN. CA. 92780 We formally object to the proposed vacation and closure of Enderle Center Drive. Granting this street closure to accommodate a private developer's design configuration creates an Immediate, catastrophic threat to human life regarding fire evacuation and emergency response. Approving this resolution exposes the City of Tustin to Immense long-term civil liability. 1. CRITICAL THREAT TO LIFE: Wildilre and Structural Fire Evacuation Bottlenecks Enderle Center Drive is a vital neighborhood emergency egress route. Ellmtnating this right-of-way clusters local traffic into a severely restricted bottleneck. • Evacuation Traps: In a fast-moving fire event, hundreds of escaping residents will be forced onto fewer roads, creating gridlock that could trap citizens in the path of a fire. • Emergency Delays: Entering Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) heavy apparatus and ladder trucks will be forced to compete with fleeing resident traffic on a single, choked access point, delaying life-saving Intervention when seconds matter. 2. Absolute Discretionary Immuitty, Waiver and Future Tort Liability While public entitles generally enjoy immunity for "poorjudgment" in planning decisions,'Design Immunity' (Gov. Code § 830.6) Is legally broken If a city approves a plan despite having clear notice of a hidden, highly dangerous condition. By approving this closure over the explicit safety warnings of the neighborhood, the City of Tustin knowingly creates a public property hazard. This completely strips the city of Its statutory Immunities, leaving Tustin strictly liable for any future wrongful deaths, personal Injuries, or property losses caused by fire -related gridlock. 3. Strict Constitutional Liability vie Inverse Condemnation Under settled California Supreme Court precedent (Bmidert v. Southern Pacific Co.), property owners possess a private easement of Ingress and egress to the general public street system. Severing this critical access route—especlally when It destroys emergency egress —constitutes a "substantial impairment" of access. This renders the City strictly lable for financial damages under Inverse Condemnation for the resulting drop in neighborhood property values. 4. ExpIIcR Violation of Streets & Highways Code § 8324 Under California law, this Council has zero legal authority to vacate a public road unless It makes a formal finding that the street Is "unnecessary for present or prospective public use." Because this road Is actively used and serves a vital public safety purpose, a finding that It Is "unnecessary" Is legally fraudulent. Any approval hased on this finding Is vulnerable to an Immediate Writ of Administrative Mandate (CCP § 1094.5) to halt construction. CONCLUSION & REQUESTED ACTION We demand that the City Council DENY Resolution No. 26-30. At minimum, we request a Continuance of this hearing until the Orange County Fire Authority Issues a certified, unconditioned written safety report explicitly guaranteeing that closing Enderle Center Drive will result In zero net delay to neighborhood evacuation times and fire department response capabilities.
