HARDGRAVE, Director of Public Works/ City Engineer SUBJECT: Driveway Approach to Rialto Avenue - Concrete Pre-casting Facility DATE: April 9, 1993 COPIES: Mayor W. R. "Bob" Holcomb; Shauna Clark; Al Boughey; File No. 10. 05-Rialto Avenue; ------------Reading File ------------------------------------------------- The following information is being provided in response to your request. The concrete pre-casting facility on Fourth Street Rock Crusher' s property between Rialto Avenue and Fourth Street, was approved by Review of Plans No. 86-14. Access was provided by the concrete box culvert undercrossing under Rialto Avenue to Muscott Street. Traffic gains access to Rialto Avenue at the Muscott Street intersection. This access route is difficult for the long loads to traverse. Therefore, an application was recently submitted to our office for a permit to construct a modified driveway approach to Rialto Avenue, in order to provide a better access route. Trucks hauling the pre-cast concrete members will use this driveway to make a right turn on to Rialto Avenue. There is unlimited sight distance to the east. The turning radius of the existing trucks has been checked, and verified that they can turn into the westbound lanes without encroaching over the centerline. Trucks will only use this driveway between 11:00 p.m. and 5 : 00 a.m. , due to permit restrictions by Caltrans . on the freeway system. A considerable amount of dirt was needed to be placed, in order to construct a ramp from the pre-casting yard to the new driveway approach on Rialto Avenue. Plans have been submitted in application for a grading permit. o COUNCILMAN HERNANDEZ Concrete Pre-Casting Facility April 9 , 1993 Page - 2 - I trust the foregoing information will be adequate to address your cerns.

Barlow, Senior Assistant City Attorney DATE: March 26, 1993 RE: Fourth Street Rock Grading This is to confirm that on Friday, March 26, 1993, you telephoned Mr. Penman and requested that our office look into some grading allegedly performed by Fourth Street Rock without permits. The location you identified is on Rialto west of Mt. Vernon. You expressed concern that the grading provides access for heavy equipment to Rialto where the traffic moves at high speeds. You said there should have been a traffic study, possibly an EIR and grading permits issued before the work began. If I have incorrectly stated your concerns, please advise this office immediately by memorandum. Otherwise, we will assume that this memorandum is an accurate record of your request and complaint. � AN IS A. BRLOW DAB:km[ROCKGRAD.MEMI
