DATE: April 26, 2004
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: John B. Bahorski, City Manager
FROM: Lee Whittenberg, Director of Development Services
SUBJECT: Status Report — Temporary Trail Location, Gum Grove
Nature Park
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Receive and File Status Report.
BACKGROUND:
At the March 22 City Council meeting a citizen addressed the City Council regarding his
concerns about a "road" re- alignment adjacent to the Crestview homes that will provide
access from Seal Beach Boulevard through the Gum Grove Park extension, and then into
the existing Gum Grove Park trail system.
John Laing Homes will be addressing this concern during a presentation they have
scheduled for this evening.
The proposed "temporary trail" is to allow for trail access to Gum Grove Park until
cultural resource mitigation work is completed in the area where the permanent trail
alignment is to be located. Installation of the temporary trail will allow the cultural
resource mitigation work to be completed, and allow John Laing Homes to comply will
all of the Coastal Commission permit requirements to obtain the permit to begin
construction of the residences. As soon as the cultural resource mitigation work is
completed, final grading will occur and the final alignment for the trail will be installed.
The "temporary trail' is to be located approximately 25 feet from the rear property lines
of the Crestview homes at the closest point, and the final trail alignment is about 48 feet.
There will be no use of this "temporary trail" by Hellman Properties or John Laing
Homes. Any use by vehicles will be by the Seal Beach Police Department if they needed
to respond to a call for service. Otherwise only pedestrian use will occur.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
