City of San Bernardino
City Council
Dear Sirs:
.'
,
.'
"
We respectfully request a meeting with the city council in
regard to the Planning COmmission's denial of our request to
amend the requirement for two improved dedicated access roads
to our property. .
To explain- We have four lots at the Northwest corner of Mag-
nolia and Meyers Road. Magnolia is a fully improved road.
We have been required to pave a second access road from Little
League-this road is dirt at the present time and is being
used as an access road to the lots south of ours<while Meyers
road.is being developed. We fully understand the necessity
of'.,,\:;he two access's. for emergency purposes-however, we feel
tha1;':j.:f' the road is graded it will work perfectly well for
the purpose for which it is intended-a. secondary access for
ingfess and egress for emergency purposes i.e. - Fire, POlice,
and etc. .
The burden of the expense has been placed on our four lots
as the property to the south was approved prior to the new
requirement for two accesses and the property it burdens has
!lad no development. We believe the ordinance to ask for two
dedicated accesses. however, we do not feel they need be
two fully improved accesses as it is only serving four houses,
not a tract of 50 homes. . .',. .

The applicant and owner of Parcel Map No. 7775 requests an amendment to
the conditions of approval for Tentative Parcel Map No. 7775: The
subject parcel map, approved by the Planning Commission on February 7,
1984, allowed the division of 5 acres into 4 one-acre parcels for
single-family development. Parcel Map No. 7775 is located at the
northwest corner of Magnolia Avenue and Meyers Road approximately 365
feet south of Ohio Avenue.
(
The 5-acre parcel of land proposed for division has its eastern side
lot line on Magnolia Avenue which is presently dedicated and improved.
Access to the four parcels will be provided from Meyers Road which is
currently undedicated and unimproved.
The subject property is located within the High Fire Hazard Area as
defined on the City of San Bernardino Environmental Hazards map.
Therefore, two means of dedicated, improved access must be provided to
the property as required by San Bernardino Municipal Code Section
18.40.160. Section 18.40.160 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code
states:
provision for ingress and egress.
A tentative map, final map, tentative parcel map, or parcel
map shall provide for at least two different routes for in-
gress and egress. Such routes shall be dedicated to the
public, shall have a minimum paved width of 24 feet, and
shall conform to all standards contained in this section.
The purpose of these routes is to permit accessibility of
fire fighting and other public equipment and to permit
orderly emergency evacuation. Upon a specific finding that
the public health, safety, and welfare do not require such
access, under the circumstances of that particular application,
the Commission or the Mayor and Common Council may approve any
such map with only one route in either of the following
circumstances:
A. The property is outside the high fire hazard area; or

B. An existing street provides only one route for ingress and
egress, not more than 2,000 feet of street extension is
required, and the parcel map creates not more than two resi-
dential lots,. one of Which the applicant represents will be
occupied as his or her primary place of residence.
(
The subject property is wi thi n the Hi gh Fi re Hazard area and does pro-
pose more than two residential lots and, therefore must comply with
the provision of two means of ingress and e9ress. In order to achieve
compliance with this requirement, the Engineering Oepartment attached a
condition of approval, #3 (6 & H), Which required the applicant to
improve and dedicate Meyers Road from Magnolia to Little League Drive,
a total distance of approximately 1386 feet.
The applicant is currently requesting a deletion of this requirement
reflected in the Engineering Department Condition No.3 (6 & H).
The applicant, in his letter, cites the parcel map to the south of his
property as justification for the requested waiver because that pro-
perty owner was not required to participate in the extension of Meyers
Road.
Parcel Map No. 6573, approved by the Planning Commission in January of
1981, divided five acres into four parcels located on the south side
of Meyers Road and the west side of Magnolia, adjacent to the southern
boundary, across Meyers Road, from the subject Parcel Map No. 7775.
Parcel Map No. 6573 had a condition of approval requiring provision of
a second means of access from Magnolia Avenue to Little League Drive.
The Mayor and Common Council, however, deleted this condition at their
meeting of February 23, 1981. The deletion of the secondary access
requirement was made by the Common Council prior to the adoption of
Municipal Code Section 18.40.160 in 1982 requiring the second means of
access for all subdivisions within the High Fire Hazard Area. There-
fore, if this map were to be brought back before the Council today,
the secondary access would be required, as it is for the current
Parcel Map No. 7775.
The applicant also indicates that the cost of such extension would be
excessive and that because the property to the south, as referred to
above, was not required to extend Meyers Road a hardship has been
created on hi m.
However, other property owners in the vicinity have been required to
comply with the provisions of Title 18 for secondary access.

Parcel Map No. 7936, located at the southeast corner of Ohio Avenue
and Magnolia Avenue, northeasterly of the subject property, was
approved by the Planning Commission on June 7, 1983, to divide five
acres into four parcels. Parcel Map No. 7936 was required to provide
full improvements and dedication of Ohio Avenue from Magnolia Avenue
to Palm Avenue for a distance of 2,600 feet.
The Fire and Engineering Departments have indicated that compliance
with the condition for improvement and dedication of Meyers Road is
necessary to provide adequate emergency and evacuation access to the
property and provides for orderly and reasonable development of the
area. Approval to divide the property is predicated upon the provi-
sion of two means of adequate access to the site to protect the future
property owners. If, the applicant is unwilling to comply with these
basic Code requirements, the property should remain undivided until
such time as Meyers Road is extended to Little League Drive.
RECOMMENDATION
(
Staff recommends denial of the applicant's request to delete the
Engineering Department Condition of Approval No. 3(G & H) to extend
Meyers Road and provide two means of access to Parcel Map No. 7775.

In re~erence to Tentative Tract Map No. 7775, regarding cond-
ition #3 Items G & H.
, (
We are processing a map identical to the lot split on the
South side o~ Meyers Rd. The owners o~ these lots have not
been required to participate in the above re~erenced require-
ments. At one time during the processing stages on the south
split they were required to put in the fire access road. How-
ever, this requirement was deleted, We understand that this
was done prior to the area being declared a high~ire hazard
area. But we ~eel that participation in this road should have
been imposed on the south side upon pulling o~ permits. In not
doing so this has created a hardship on our ~our lots.
We are providing a minimum of two fire hydrants on our side o~
Meyers Rd. this road is only 662 feet inlength ~rom Magnolia
and has very good access ~or ~ire and emergency equipment and
also ~or evacuation purposes. Also, exj.sting at this time is
a dirt access raod completing Meyers ~oad to the west to Little
League Dr. We feel as Hill dwellers ourselves that this pro-
vides excellent exposure ~or any and all einergency situations,
i.e. earthquake or ~i're. I~ we were not to develop our lots ~or
sometime what would the ~ire department do to gain access from
Little League to the two homes currently under construction on the
south side.
Cost on the fire access
has become prohibitive.

We respectfully request that condition 3 Items G & H be deleted
