DescriPtion) Small Canyon Channel Finance: C~ f) r Council Notes: ..." n'1"''1 Anpnrf~ Itpm Nn 51 CITY OF SAN BERN~ ..RDINO - REQUEST f......R COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT Page 1 of 2 Drainage from Small Canyon Channel presently is directed to Highland Avenue, where it flows westerly to Sand Creek. The Storm Drain Master Plan shows a 57-inch pipe in Highland Avenue, from Small Canyon Channel to a point west of Palm Avenue. Cal trans has agreed to accept the drainage from Small Canyon Channel into their drainage system for Route 30 Freeway. In order to accomplish this agreement, a 48-inch storm drain will need to be installed, from the terminus of the improved channel north of Highland Avenue to Atlantic Avenue. Caltrans agreed to include this storm drain in their contract for the freeway, if funds can be provided to finance the estimated cost of $119,000. Realigning the drainage from Small Canyon Channel to the freeway system will allow the 57-inch pipe in Highland Avenue to be deleted, and the remaining pipes and channels to be downsized, at a considerable savings in cost. At the Council meeting of 9-21-87, the recommendation from the Ways and Means Committee that the City participate in the amount of $119,000, was approved. An amount of $119,000 was approved in the 1988/89 Storm Drain Construction Fund Budget under Account No. 248-368-57826. Dedication of the necessary right-of-way for the 48-inch pipe was made a condition of approval by the County for a pro- posed development. However, the development failed to proceed and the Qeducti~m has not been granted. This property subse- quently became a part of the City of Highland upon incorpora- tion. According to the attached letter from David Barmakian, Ci ty Engineer, the City of Highland does not presently have sufficient funds to finance the acquisition of the necessary right-of-way. A request was presented to Cal trans to advance the necessary funds for acquisition of the right-of-way. How- ever, they are not able to advance the funds. Mr. Barmakian proposes that the City of San Bernardino up front the funds for acquisition of the right-of-way. The City of Highland' has adopted Storm Drain Development Impact Fees, which will provide a revenue stream to repay the funds advanced. Draining the flows from Small Canyon Channel to the freeway drainage system has some obvious advantages, and there is concurrence that this should be done if the necessary funds can be identified. Therefore, we recommend that the proposal be approved, subject to execution of an appropriate co-operative agreement. 4-04-90 75-0264 CITY OF SAN BERtb..RDINO - REQUEST F-",R COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT Page 2 of 2 Also, we recommend that $63,617 be transferred from the appropriated amount of $784,267 for the storm drain along the north side of Patton Hospital. This project is on hold until the design of the golf course on Patton HoS"pital property is completed. We anticipate that the funds will be repaid before construction on this project is ready to proceed. 4-04-90 75-0264 27215 E. Baseline Suite A Highland.

The proposed easement which is based on the CalTrans plans for this storm drain is basically on the easterly boundary of Assessors Parcel Numbers 287 - 081 - 42, 43 and 44. We attempted, beginning back in January of 1989, to obtain the easements from the property owners by means of a donation. It should be pointed out that the same person owns two of the three parcels (a Mr. Ron Roehler) with the middle parcel being owned by Mr. Robert E. Overtree, et al. Despite several meetings with the property owners our attempts to get donation of the easement proved unsuccessful. In October of 1989 we wrote to Mr. Bruce Kean at CalTrans requesting the State's assistance in fronting the monies necessary for obtaining the easement through condemnation. The city had a Real Estate Appraisal Service, C.M. Benefiel and Associates, appraise the costs of obtaining the storm drain easement. According to their report the total cost for 25 foot permenent easement and a 2~ foot temporary construction easement is $63,617.00 if the City were to obtain the easement through condemnation. The City of Highland is not in a position to expend this amount of money to obtain the easement. CalTrans recently indicated through Mr. Jerry Lunt, the Design Engineer for the freeway project, that they would not agree to loaning the money to the city. You had indicated to me a couple of weeks ago that if we were unsuccessful with CalTrans that I could discuss with you the possibility of obtaining the money from the City of San Bernardino for the purchase of the easements. Please note that the City of Highland does have Storm Drain Development Impact Fees and we are willing to consider an agreement with San Bernardino whereby you would be reimbursed from the city Storm Drain Development Fees at such time that sufficient funds are available from this area. Mr. Roger Hardgrave - 2 - March 15,1990 Please let me know your thoughts on this request. I'd be happy to meet with you to provide any plans or details you may want. I can be reached at 799-8944.
