' Cidako-.J-9- ty Clerk and ex -officio Cler f the City Council of the City of Cotta Mesa DESCRIPTION OF WORK STREETS South Coast Drive will be constructed as a divided roadway from Harbor Boulevard to Fairview Road. Twenty-eight (28) feet of pavement each direction will be utilized for two lanes of traffic plus a bicycle path five feet in width. A curbed median will be constructed to provide an irrigated, landscaped area and protected left -turn pockets for access to the adjacent properties and future streets. As South Coast Drive approaches Fairview Road, the pavement width widens to thirty-nine (39) feet each direction to provide additional right -turn lanes at the intersection. Catch basins and reinforced concrete drainage pipes will be constructed across South Coast Drive at three locations to take storm water run-off from the roadway into the adjacent Greenville -Banning Flood Control Channel. Street construction will also include the installation of sidewalks along the northerly side of South Coast Drive for the entire length of the project together with sidewalks on the southerly side from Fairview Road westerly approximately to the flood control channel. Harbor Boulevard. Within Harbor Boulevard the existing median for southbound traffic will be modified to provide a double left -turn pocket for traffic turning easterly into South Coast Drive. This pro- posed modification of the existing median also includes the construc- tion of patterned concrete paving within the median area. Fairview Road. The existing median within Fairview Road will also be modified to provide northbound traffic with a double left -turn pocket for turns westerly into South Coast Drive. As presently provided, an opening has been left in the turn pocket to provide left -turn access into the property at the southwest corner of Fairview Road and South Coast Drive. Again, the new median is surfaced with stamped, patterned concrete for beautification purposes. TRAFFIC SIGNALS A traffic signal and conduit for inner -connect will be constructed at South Coast Drive and Fairview Road. This signal will permit safe movement of traffic through the intersection as well as provide pro- tected left -turn movements at the intersection. The existing traffic signal at Harbor Boulevard and South Coast Drive will also be modified to provide for the new movements being created at this intersection. TRAFFIC SIGNING AND STRIPING Traffic signing and striping will be provided throughout the length of the project on South Coast Drive as well as on Harbor Bouelvard and Fairview Road at the intersections. This signing and striping will assist in the safe and orderly movement of traffic throughout the project. WATER SYSTEM Water facilities will be installed throughout the length of South Coast Drive connecting with existing twelve -inch diameter lines in both Harbor Boulevard and Fairview Road to provide a "looped" system. This line, complete with fire hydrants, will provide a water supply for the future development of property in the area. EXHIBIT "A" for Resolution No. 79-82 Page 1 of 2 RAILROAD CROSSING .%, A temporary crossing will be constructed at a point approximately 1,200 feet easterly of Harbor Boulevard, and necessary crossing protection will be provided on a temporary basis by railway company personnel acting as flagmen for each train movement. EDISON AND TELEPHONE FACILITIES Underground conduits are being installed within South Coast Drive for the installation of conductors and communication equipment by the Southern California Edison and Pacific Telephone Companies. The Assess- ment District contractor will be installing various ducts, vaults, conduits, and associated facilities for use by the utility companies. The Southern California Edison Company will be installed conductors, transformers, and associated equipment within the duct work constructed by the Assessment District contractor in South Coast Drive. In addi- tion, the Edison Company will be constructing street light bases and installing Marblelite poles for all street lighting on the project. The Southern California Edison Company will also be removing the existing overhead electrical facilities adjacent to the west side of Fairview Road from the 405 -San Diego Freeway northerly to Sunflower Avenue. These 12 KV facilities will be placed underground, with that portion from South Coast Drive to Sunflower Avenue financed by a prop- erty owner contribution to the District. In addition to the work described above, the Southern California Edison Company will be removing an overhead 66 KV transmission line and replacing it with underground facilities from the San Diego Freeway right-of-way northerly to the north side of the Greenville -Banning Channel and following the Channel northeasterly to Sunflower Avenue. This work is approximately 1,350 feet westerly of Fairview Road. STORM DRAIN FACILITIES In addition to the storm drain facilities previously described, a reinforced concrete box will be constructed within the Greenville - Banning Channel approximately 845 feet easterly of Harbor Boulevard to provide access into property south of the Channel. A second reinforced concrete box structure approximately 1,800 feet easterly of Harbor Boulevard will be constructed to carry South Coast Drive across the Greenville -Banning Channel. Both structures will include upstream and downstream channel transitions and will be compatible with the ultimate development of the entire channel by the Flood Control District at some later date. Additional drainage facilities are also proposed for con- struction at South Coast Drive and Fairview Road and at South Coast Drive and Harbor Boulevard. These facilities will connect into the existing drainage systems at those locations. EXHIBIT "A" for Resolution No. 79-82 Page 2 of 2
