CITY OF POWAY MEMORANDUM
TO: Chris Hazeltine, City Manager
FROM: Wendy Kaserman, Assistant City Manager
DATE: May 6, 2020
SUBJECT: Community Services Department Bi-Weekly Report
• The Summer Community Services Guide is going pure digital! Final edits are off to the
contractor who will create the digital flipbook for our first-ever online only guide.
Simultaneously, we are finalizing a post card, which will hit mailboxes and remind
residents that we are here and hope to continue providing opportunities to participate
in recreational programming soon.
• Staff worked diligently over several days to reopen the Blue Sky Ecological Reserve,
the Iron Mountain trail, and the Lake Poway Recreation Area. This effort required
extensive maintenance, social distance/sanitation protocol and public information
postings, and a high-level of coordination with Public Works.
• Per County emergency regulations, Community Park and Old Poway Park are staffed
and patrolled throughout the day. In collaboration with Public Works, all parking lots
for all parks throughout the city were reduced by 50% and all required signs were
posted. Most park amenities, restrooms, and courts are now open.
• Daily park patrols throughout the city to neighborhood and pocket parks continues.
Staff is consistently providing public information on social distance and facial covering
requirements.
• All May reservations for facility use have been canceled and customers have been
fully refunded. A handful of inquiries have been received from brides regarding
summer nuptials. Poway Center for the Performing Arts clients have also been
notified that all events for June have been canceled.
• Registration for summer camps continues. In light of the COVID-19 world-wide
pandemic and economic uncertainties, year-to-date revenues for 2020 vs. 2019 are
down. Some of this may be attributed to the delay in the start of summer registration.
We hope to see increased enrollment as public confidence in participating in future
programming becomes more viable.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Chris Hazeltine, City Manager
FROM: Bob Manis, Director of Development Services
DATE: May 6, 2020
SUBJECT: Director’s Notes
PLANNING
Maderas Country Club – Proposed 140-Room Hotel (Old Coach Golf Estates Specific Plan
Amendment)
On April 27 a letter was sent to the applicant explaining that the project application was incomplete
and additional information is needed. The Old Coach Golf Estates Specific Plan amendment
proposes to allow for a hotel with up to 140 rooms within the envelope of the existing golf course. To
be consistent with the previous EIR addendum for the 240 room hotel proposal in 2016, the hotel is
required to be two stories or less and less than 100,000 square feet in floor area. Only proposed
textual amendments to the Specific Plan were received to allow the hotel (no development plans
provided). The addition of a hotel as an allowable land use within the specific plan area would require
approval by the City Council and then require adoption by the voters of the City at a special or general
election. They may request City Council review in July 2020 to be considered for the November
ballot if the City Council approves the proposal.
Vantage Point Tenant Improvements at 14400 to 14500 Kirkham Way
On April 24 building permit plans were received for plan check for a 236,584 square foot tenant
improvement for Building A and a 166,834 square foot tenant improvement for Building B at Vantage
Point (Parkway Summit).
Demolition Permits Issued for Poway Commons
On April 28 the demolition permits for Poway Commons were issued. There are ten buildings on
seven parcels to be torn down.
New Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) at 13312 Tawanka Drive
On April 29 a building permit was issued for an attached two-story 695 square foot ADU with a 255
square foot patio cover and a 260 square foot balcony.
New Home at 14375 Golden Sunset
On April 28 a building permit was issued for a new 2,415 square foot manufactured single-family
home, a 484 square foot garage, and a 269 square foot deck.
13021 Poway Road B20-0519
On April 21 building permit plans were received for plan check for the Poway Commons 44-unit
affordable senior housing project at 13021 Poway Road immediately west of the Taco Bell. The
project includes a 38,993 square foot building with both one-bedroom units (570 sf each) and two-
bedroom units (757 sf each) and a 1,050 square foot community room.

Sunbelt Rentals, Inc. at 13044 Poway Road
On April 23 a business certificate was issued for a construction equipment rentals and general tool
sales store. This is considered a change in ownership as Sunbelt Rentals, Inc. has acquired the
business from BJ’s Rentals, Inc. and will continue to run a similar operation.
Pugh Residence at Pebble Canyon Drive
On March 24 a Minor Development Review Application was approved to develop a 3,060
square foot single-family home and a 906 square foot garage. The proposed new single-family
residence will be the 9th lot developed on the private road of Pebble Canyon Drive (APN-
321-230-64-00).
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Mickey Cafagna Community Center
The mass grading, over-excavating and re-compaction for the entire building pad, has been
completed and the main potable and landscape water manifolds have been installed. Activities for
this week include completing the rough grading and certifying the building pads. The contractor has
scheduled the onsite underground work to start as soon as the pad certifications are complete. This
work includes installation of onsite storm drains, potable water, and sewer piping.
Espola Road Safety Improvements
SDG&E’s cabling crews have completed all work in the 20A portion (southern end) that can be
done without non-critical planned outages. SDG&E is considered an essential business and their
work, including construction operations, is continuing during COVID-19. However, there is an
exception for service cutover work. They are postponing all non-critical planned outages, while
continuing with those related to public safety, emergencies and wildfire mitigation. Once outage
restrictions are lifted (estimated June timeframe) the cabling crews plan to capitalize on
outages that will allow for conversion of the 20B portion along with the 20A portion to avoid
multiple interruptions to customers. SDG&E’s contractor, VetSource has several punch list
items related to the underground infrastructure that still need to be completed. SDG&E office
staff that are working remotely continue to work on resolving outstanding easement and
encroachment issues prior to cabling of the 20B portion (northern end). This includes potential
relocation of two transformers. Once these are resolved VetSource will finalize the as-built
drawings and any outstanding punch list items. The City’s consultant recently completed
additional survey work to identify the locations of new utility facilities associated with the
undergrounding. The survey data will allow the consultant to proceed with the design of the
pathway improvements. Public Works staff continues to monitor and refresh the erosion control
devices and trim weeds in the pathway area along Espola Road, south of Del Poniente Road.
Martincoit Road Sewer Upsize
The contractor is currently constructing the sewer line in the equestrian trail, west of Calle
Colina. The sewer line and manhole installation work on Calle Colina was completed last
week. The contractor has resealed and restriped the existing parking lot at Painted Rock
Elementary School and has vacated the staging area at the lot.
Valle Verde Playground Renovation
The playground equipment and new surface has been installed and has passed the safety audit for
fall impact testing. Certification of the test results is expected this week. The curb ramp was installed
last week and the only remaining item is to resolve a request by Public Works related to the sleeves
for the removable bollards that were relocated as part of the project.

Water Treatment Plant Chemical Building and Tank Farm Upgrades
The chemical building equipment has been replaced, tested, and accepted for operation at the
plant. The new caustic chemical storage tank has been installed and the piping is underway to bring
it online. The valve replacement had been put on hold until next winter due to Covid-19 safety
measures. Plant operations staff requested specific valves in the filter gallery be replaced as soon
as possible after existing equipment failures began occurring. The contractor has prepared
equipment and the site by installing scaffolding. Replacement procedures began on Monday.
Clearwell Upgrades and Clearwell Bypass
Design of the clearwell floating cover and liner replacement has been temporarily placed on
hold. This is due to the necessity to provide bypass piping during construction of the Clearwell
Upgrades. As part of design for the bypass, IEC, the City’s design consultant, prepared a technical
memo, including information about the pipeline capacity, a hydraulic analysis of operating the potable
system on the bypass, and costs associated with the bypass pipeline. A draft of the technical memo
was provided to the State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water (DDW), as
part of compliance with the Precautionary Boil Water Advisory. The memo was still in draft form
because the hydraulic analysis that was completed showed that the bypass pipeline could not
provide sufficient water to meet demands in the system without some type of temporary or permanent
storage. IEC is working on finalizing the technical memo to incorporate several storage options. The
final memo will be provided to DDW upon completion. In addition to the design and technical memo
efforts for the bypass pipeline, IEC has also been preparing an alternatives analysis for the clearwell
reservoir. Hydraulic Analyses were completed to determine if 10 million gallons worth of storage
(the volume of the clearwell reservoir) are required to maintain current demands in the system along
with options for alternative storage types, other than the clearwell reservoir. The analysis also
includes installation costs and long-term maintenance costs for overall comparison of various
storage types. Since storage is required for the bypass pipeline to function, it is prudent to compare
the cost of environmental and financial impacts of temporary versus permanent storage along with
the rehabilitation of the clearwell reservoir.
LAND DEVELOPMENT
Poway Commons
The City received the first submittal of the precise grading package for the proposed affordable senior
housing project located at the northwest corner of Poway Road and Tarascan Drive.
The City has requested mylars for the grading plan for the proposed residential development on
parcels on the north and south sides of Poway Road near Quate Court and Civic Center
Drive/Tarascan Drive. Once securities are placed, fees are paid, and the mylars are received and
signed by City staff, the preconstruction meeting will be held where the grading permit will be
issued. The applicant has obtained demolition permits through the Building Division prior to
beginning grading activities.
The City has also returned comments on the 4th submittal of the floodplain development permit
package for the proposed residential development on selected parcels to the south of Poway Road
near Quate Court and Civic Center Drive. The project design impacts the mapped Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regulated floodway which requires a special engineering
study to be reviewed and approved by City staff and FEMA and will ultimately revise the mapped
floodway.

Creekside Plaza
The City requested mylars and securities for the grading plan associated with the proposed
development of a new retail building within Creekside Plaza at the southeast corner of the Poway
Road and Community Road intersection.
Steed Residence
An applicant has submitted a request to encroach within a storm drain easement with a small
retaining wall along a property line on Maplewood Street. Staff is reviewing the application and
preparing the document for signatures.
Old Pomerado Utility Easement
City staff drafted an easement document to grant a general utility easement to an adjacent resident
behind a Poway Housing Authority property along Old Pomerado Road. The owner of this property
has a septic system that has failed, and they are asking to connect to the City sewer main in this
area. In order to do so, they need to install a lateral along the access route on the Poway Housing
Authority property.
AT&T Small Cell
City staff has returned comments and the mylar plans for a construction change revising the plans
to include an additional streetlight pole requiring replacement. The pole location is on Scripps Poway
Parkway at the intersection with Community Road.
