Bragdon, Director By: Arthur Beresford, Serio neer IaJa r SUBJECT: W1310 Rounding(Hill 428?) I have been asked by Harvey Bragdon to research the question of the rounding of the mounds to the south and east of the water tanks at the top of the hill west of the Mata Road and Evora Road intersection in the Bay.Point area, I have obtained a copy of the grading plan from the Building Inspection Department records (copy attached), The Condition of Approval for SUB. 7152, DP883032, and RZ2812 that involved the portion of the site west of Mota Road, reads as follows: "la. This portion of the site lying west of Mota Drive shall not be developed. This property (known now as "Hill 428") shall become permanent open space and shall be disturbed to the minimum extent feasible by construction associated with the Seabreeze development, allowing for the installation of water lines and a water tank necessary to serve the project site. The open space shall be deeded over to a public . agency subject to review and approval of the County Zoning Administrator. Applicant shall berm and landscape existing water tank to conceal to the maximum extent feasible. The applicant shall conceal the future water tank to the greatest extent or bury if necessary. Applicant shall have created and installed (subject to Zoning Administrator review and approval) a historic marker to be permanently placed on "Hill 428" commemorating both the Spanish and Native American populations." The property is now owned by the County and the County would be the caretaker of the site. The site contains approximately 7.56 acres (Parcel 9098-220-013). The Southern California Water Company own a .954 acre parcel where the two water tanks are located (Parcel #098-220-009). n NO0-07-1996 13:39 5104276142 P.03i06 z i 2 rF • P Y- I have briefly contacted the Senior Grading Inspector about the grading on the site about any inspections that were done in 1990 - 1992 on the site. He is on vacation so when he returns, and I return from three days off next week, I will try to find out if the site was graded per the plans attached. When I visited the site this week, I found the mounds covered with grass, and some of the planted trees alive and some dead. The monument on top of the northern mound had been heavily vandalized. As you know, the developer(Crarrett Development) appears to be out of business. This fact is being investigated by risk management in regards the problem with slope stability at the east end of the Seabreeze development. At this time all of our files are with the lawyer involved in that matter on the County's behalf. t>: AB/aa LTR 1/Hill3 10.AB y. Via. NOV-07-1996 1.^:39 5104278142 F.04:06 DATE: April 25, 1996 TO: Harvey Bragdon, Director - Community Development FROM: Supervisor Tom Torlakson SUBJECT: Hill 310 (Garrett Development) I am once again attempting to followup on the "rounding off' of Hill 310. As you will r remember, the rounding of this hill was a condition of approval for Garrett Development who promised to complete this aspect of the project in 1992. Before leaving the County last May my aide, Sharon Haynes-Creswell sent a memo to = your department requesting the status of this issue. To the best of my knowledge, we have not received a reply and my visual observation of this hill indicates that the proper rounding off has not been accomplished. Who is now the caretaker for this portion of the development - is it now under the jurisdiction of a special district(landscape and lighting) of the County? Please follow-up s on this issue at your earliest opportunity. I would like to bring this issue to conclusion within the next two weeks. If you have any comments or questions regarding this issue, please contact Kathi r Gilmore of my staff.
