Re:
Draft Planning Commission
Resolution 3177
Proposed Retail/Condominium Development
3211 Oakwood Boulevard and
3198 Los Flores Boulevard
Dear Mr. Taylor:
We have reviewed the conditions of approval contained in the referenced draft. Provided
below are our questions, concerns and comments regarding specific conditions of
approval. Those conditions that we have not addressed herein are acceptable as drafted.
Condition No.
31.'e, Requires the dedication of a five (5') (Foot) wide strip of property along
Oakwood Avenue. Please provide additional detail. Is the dedication needed
for street widening, or for another purpose?
)t. Requires the dedication of sufficient land to provide for a 25' curve radius at
77, the Northwest comer of Oakwood Boulevard and Long Beach Boulevard and
the Southwest comer of Los Flores A venue and Long Beach Boulevard.
We observed that Los Flores has already been widened at intersection with
Long Beach Boulevard. What is the existing curve radius? Is there a need to
further increase the curve radius? If not we request that this condition be
deleted.
r:
~C
Requires the construction of new sidewalk, curb and gutter along Oakwood
and Los Flores. If no modification to Los Flores are needed this condition
should be deleted as to that location. The scope of this condition should be
limited to areas adjacent to the development site only.
606 E. 8TH ST. SUITE 301, LOS ANGELES, CA 90014; TEL.: (213) 327-0105; FAX: (213) 327-0107
~...:... .,.
Oakwood Plaza, LLC
~
'--\3,
Requires the construction of four (4) wheel chair ramps, two (2) at the
intersection of Los Flores and Long Beach and two (2) at the intersection of
Oakwood and Long Beach,
The condition should be limited to the Southwest comer of Los Flores and
Long Beach as the Northwest comer of Oakwood and Long Beach. There are
existing ramps at all four comers of these intersections, however we recognize
the need to construct new ramps as part of the sidewalk work referred to in the
condition No. 40 but the condition should be limited to two (2) ramps only.
This requirement should not apply to the Northwest comer of Los Flores and
Long Beach nor to the Southwest comer of Oakwood and Long Beach. The
locations referenced in the preceding sentence are not contiguous to the
development site and have wheelchair ramps.
y
yt..(,
Requires streets "from edge of gutter to edge of gutter" to be ground and
overlaid with not less than two (2) inches of new paving on streets fronting the
development.
Literally interpreted this condition requires grinding and paving the full right-
of-way width on all streets fronting the development site including Long
Beach Boulevard. We feel that, if this is the intent, it is overly broad and not
reasonably related to the infrastructure impact of the proposed project. If a
general upgrade of the street pavement in the vicinity of the project is planned
we would be willing to pay a proportionate share of the cost. It seems
inequitable to burden one property with the cost of such an improvement
which benefits many parcels with frontage on the affected streets. This
cOndition should be deleted or substantially reduced in scope.
'!?: Requires "reconstruction" of Oakwood Los Flores from Long Beach
Lff Boulevard to Beach Street.
First the word "Reconstruction" is open to interpretation, to avoid confusion
perhaps a detailed description of what is intended would be helpful. This
condition also seems to be partially duplicative of condition No. 43. Secondly
the scope of this condition requires reconstruction of Oakwood and Los Flores
Easterly to Peach Street which is beyond the street frontage of the project site.
Again, it appears we are being asked to bear the cost of improving street areas
fronting other ownerships which we feel is less than equitable could this just
be resurfaced to match our work on the other streets? We have also observed
that the pavement on Los Flores is in very good condition and is not currently
in need of replacement.
606 E. 8TH ST. SUITE 301, LOS ANGELES, CA 90014; TEL.: (213) 327-0105; FAX: (213) 327-0107
^" j, ~ j
,/
Oakwood Plaza, LLC
We suggest that the proposed project bear a proportional share of the cost of
improving the streets in the immediate vicinity of the project or limit the
obligation to repair and repave where the existing pavement will be damaged
or removed during the project construction. We are not averse to paying our
fair share of these improvements but do not feel it is equitable to ask us to
repair the entire block by ourselves without having the rest of the block's
property owners carry their weight also.
Conditions Numbers 47 and 48 require the installation of five (5) new
marbellite light standard and fixtures and requires the replacement of two (2)
wood power/light poles with marbellite poles.
We observed that the existing light poles on Long Beach Boulevard are
identical to the existing light poles elsewhere on Long Beach Boulevard and
the side streets. Unless all of the light standards all along Long Beach
Boulevard are to be changed out there would appear to be no particular benefit
in replacing just five standards. If a lighting improvement district is to be
formed for the upgrade of all lighting along Long Beach Boulevard in
Lynwood, then we would participate in the aSsociated cost as a property owner
within such district. Short of forming such a district we request that this
condition be deleted or modified to require the new light poles be to the
current standard.
We have not asked for any subsidies or economic incentives from the City for
this project but would like your serious consideration of these items.
We appreciate your consideration of the above suggestions and requests and
look forward to our further discussion.
Sincerely,
~:YfaJuuUaJ'l/
