discuss a proposed battery storage facility that is proposed at the northerly portion of the property
located at 13501 Kirkham Road. The project requires approval by the City Council.
Public Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Scoping Meeting for Harmon Ranch
An EIR public scoping meeting was held on February 16th in City Council Chambers to discuss
potential environmental effects of the proposed Harmon Ranch Specific Plan project. The goal of the
meeting was to further define the issues, feasible alternatives, and potential mitigation measures that
may warrant in-depth analysis in the EIR. There were approximately 17 members of the public in
attendance, not including the applicant’s team. General comments and feedback were related to the
following:
• Concerns regarding high-density, height and size of the proposed homes.
• Use of a Specific Plan to allow for deviations from the underlying zone (Residential Single
Family 7).
• Traffic circulation impacts.
• Grading concerns at the northeast corner of the project near the Kumeyaay Ipai Interpretive
Center and Roca Grande Drive.
• Stormwater runoff into Poway Creek.
The Harmon Ranch Project proposes a 63 single-family home subdivision and associated specific
plan located on an 11.06-acre site that includes 20,000 square-feet of open space at 12624 Oak
Knoll Road. Additional passive park amenities (seating, grass, shade pavilions, barbeque areas)
are proposed within the plan. One existing home listed on the City’s local historic registry will be
preserved. The project requires approval by the City Council.
Neighborhood Meeting for Lifetime Fitness Club at The Farm in Poway
A neighborhood meeting was held February 15th at the Mickey Cafagna Community Center to

spa, lit recreational courts, a restaurant, alcohol sales and small supportive retail. There were
approximately 40 members of the public in attendance, not including the applicant’s team. This was
an open house format and there were mixed opinions related to the LifeTime brand, price of
membership and larger size of the facility with less recreational courts. Other concerns from the
public included:

square-foot fuel canopy, and a 440 square-foot retail kiosk. There were approximately 11 members
of the public in attendance, not including the applicant’s team. General comments and feedback

INSPECTION
The Farm
Stoneridge County Club Lane (G21-0001, STI21-001) - Drilling and rock breaking continues with
most of the rock breaking taking place between the Bungalows and the Meadows. The smaller
pieces of rock are then moved to another location and crushed further with this material being utilized
for fill operations in the Meadows area. Over-excavation in the Cottages area has been done on
various lots and some of the pads have rock at grade. Due to the recent rains, water has been
seeping out of the sides of the back cuts of the lots and a geologist is reviewing the situation.
Water: The contractor has installed, and bacteriological tests were performed on a 12-inch water line
along Boca Raton Lane and Abbey Road. Passing results were received and tie-ins have been
completed.
Director’s Notes
February 22, 2023
Page 5
An 8-inch water line has been installed between Dorlyn Way and Jimmy Way and is scheduled to
be pressure tested.
Sewer: The contractor has been working to install the 8-inch emergency sewer bypass crossing on
Espola Road and Martincoit Road. A portion of the line was placed in a casing pipe at the point
where it crosses the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) and City water lines. The line will
be tied into a manhole by core drilling into the side of the manhole on Martincoit Road.
An unknown/unmarked water service was damaged and City staff repaired the damaged service and
will return and abandon the service at the main.
Sewer abandonment of laterals along Saint Andrews Drive has begun. An 8-inch sewer main was
installed along Goodeve Drive just north of Jimmy Way and 400-foot section of sewer was pressure
tested and failed. Shilling Construction has been working to locate the leak.
Storm Drain construction continues along Saint Andrews Drive and approximately 300 linear feet of
18-inch HDPE line has been installed. The contractor has been base paving the trench as they
progress up Saint Andrews Drive and working on the 18-inch high-density polyethene (Line N).
The contractor damaged the existing 38-inch corrugated storm drain and must now increase the size
of the clean-out from an A-4 to an A-6.
