STAFF REPORT
Plans have been submitted for the development of the southeast corner of Pepper Avenue
and Second Street. The natural slope of this parcel is to the southeast. The Developer
inquired if storm water from this site could be discharged into the ditch southerly of
hi s property.
We explained that this ditch is on Southern Pacific property, and their permission
would be required to discharge water from this development. They have evidently been
unable to secure permission. Southern Pacific's refusal is based partly on the fact
that the block retaining wall along the .south side of the existing Mobilehome Park, on
the southwest corner of Meridian Avenue and Second Street, suffered damage, from storm
waters in rains of recent years.
The owner of this Mobilehome Park (Wales) filed suit against the City and Southern
Pacific. This suit contended that the pipe under the railroad at Pepper Avenue was
inadequate, which resulted in storm waters being diverted to flow easterly in the ditch.
A judgement has been rendered by the court that the City and Railroad are equally at
fault. This judgement is now under appeal.
The only feasible method to drain the site of the proposed development is to direct
the storm waters to Pepper Avenue. This will of course introduce additonal storm
waters to Pepper Avenue. After several discussions with the Developer, an agreement
has been. reached that he will install a reinforced concrete box culvert under the rail-
road with adequate hydraulic capacity to handle current and projected flows in Pepper
Avenue. Installation of this culvert will avoid any future occurrences of damage to
the wall of the Mobilehome Park, and resulting legal action. The preliminary estimate
of cost for this box culvert is $100,000.
There is the potential of flooding problems being created south of the railroad, due
to the additional capacity for conveying storm water. Our Storm Drain Master Plan
shows a 48-inch pipe in Pepper Avenue, from Rialto Avenue southerly to the East Rialto
Channel (along the north side of the Santa Fe Railroad). An alternate, to installation
of the box culvert, is the construction of the Master planned storm drain, extended
northerly under the Southern Pacific Railroad. The preliminary estimate of cost, for
installation of the storm drain, from the East Rialto Channel to north of the Southern
-Pacific Railroad, is $160,000. The Developer has indicated a willingness to contribute
$100,000 to construction of the storm drain, in lieu of .the-box culvert.
Several advantages are apparent in the evaluation of the storm drain alternate. In
view of the considerable participation by the Developer, we recommend the storm drain
alternate be approved. This selection would require the allocation of $60,000 in the
1986-87 Storm drain Construction Fund Budget to provide funds for the City's share.
It is possible that Southern Pacific could be convinced to participate, since the court
judgement requires the City and Railroad to take action to prevent any future damage
to the Mobilehome Park.
URGENCY CLAUSE:
A decision on accepting this alternate is needed at the earliest possible date to
avoid delaying the development.
