100 – 91 = Excellent
90 – 71 = Good
70 – 51 = Fair/ At Risk
50 – 31 = Poor
30 – 0 = Failed
Developed by the U. S. Army Corp
of Engineers during World War II
and standardized by ASTM, the
PCI is an objective and rational
basis for determining pavement
condition and establishing
maintenance priorities.

PCI = 100
Excellent 100-91

• Updated estimated construction costs (July 2023)
• Included Miscellaneous Costs:
• Curb ramp upgrades
• Curb and gutter repairs (tree roots, drainage, roadside improvements)
• Stormwater (MRP) permit requirements. 20-25% cost
increase for reconstruction projects.
• Soft cost (design, materials testing, and construction management)

Project Summary
February 13, 2024 Monte Cresta Drive 7
Overview
 Construction of 3,299 square-foot two-story residence with an attached garage with a driveway extending from the terminus of Monte Cresta Drive.  Construction of a road segment extending Monte Cresta Drive with a fire truck turnaround/cul-de-sac at the western terminus of Monte Cresta Drive.

Vacant Lands and Unimproved Roads
February 13, 2024 Monte Cresta Drive 10
 San Juan Hills Plan Infrastructure Road Policy 10 and Belmont City Code Sec. 7-13(e) An application for a home within the San Juan Hills that is not located on an improved road must be accompanied by a road improvement plan for either the entire unimproved road, or for an unimproved road segment.

The roadway alignment west of the project site is mapped as "PDf" indicating potential debris flow movement which is the category of hazard affecting the proposed road segment.

February 13, 2024 Monte Cresta Drive 13
Feasibility of a Through Road
February 13, 2024 Monte Cresta Drive 14
 Belmont City Code Sec. 7-13(e)(9)b.1 - A report signed by a licensed geotechnical engineer concluding that the physical constraints are such that a stable road cannot be reasonably constructed through to a paved road.

Geotechnical Review
February 13, 2024 Monte Cresta Drive 15
 Geotechnical Feasibility Study (June 2008)
 Feasibility Evaluation (December 2015)
 Geotechnical Investigation (January 2016),
 Geotechnical Responses and Peer Reviews (2015 – 2023)  2018 Seismic Hazards Map Act Response & Peer Review (January 2024) Copies of the geotechnical studies and peer review letters are included in Attachment I of the Staff Report.

Geotechnical Review
February 13, 2024 Monte Cresta Drive 16
 A through road is not feasible due to severe geologic constraints (Feasibility report prepared by Romig Engineers dated June 2008 and Updated letter 2017).  The City's geotechnical consultants concurred that the through road is impractical and economically very costly because of very significant landslide constraints (Cotton, Shires and Associates Peer Review Letter, October 26, 2017)  The proposed roadway extension and construction of the single-family home is geotechnically feasible with utilization of appropriate geotechnical design criteria.

February 13, 2024 Monte Cresta Drive 24
 Belmont City Codes section 7-13 (e)(7) - An exception may be granted upon recommendation of the City engineer based on consultation with the fire chief based on appropriate engineering evaluations.
 Fire Department Requirement - Parking within the turnaround should be designated as “No Parking” and “rolled red curb” to provide for adequate emergency access  Recommendation - The city engineer and fire department reviewed the exception request to parking lanes and can recommend approval of the exception.

The City Engineer and Fire Department recommendation is included in attachment M in the Staff Report.

General Standards for Cul-de-sacs
February 13, 2024 Monte Cresta Drive 25
 Belmont City Code Section 7-13(4)(i) - Cul-de-sacs shall be no longer than eight hundred (800) feet with a turnaround radius of thirty-two (32) feet.  Longer cul-de-sacs and smaller turnarounds may be permitted upon the recommendation of the city engineer based on consultation with the fire chief.

Conditional Use Permit
Certificate of Compliance
February 13, 2024 Monte Cresta Drive 36
 A Certificate of Compliance is a legal document which certifies that a parcel of land complies with the Subdivision Map Act or if a lot was created legally.  Properties that do not comply with the Subdivision Map Act or not created legally are instead issued a Conditional Certificate of Compliance.  A Conditional Certificate of Compliance is used to establish a legal record when a parcel was not legally created. It contains conditions of approval that must be satisfied before any other permits can be approved or issued.

Certificate of Compliance
February 13, 2024 Monte Cresta Drive 37
 The lot for development and lots considered for floor area transfers were not legally created and were issued a Conditional Certificate of Compliance (CCOC).  The conditions in the CCOC applies to lots that with development potential.  The CCOC conditions for the two sending transfer lots do not apply. The lots would result in the establishment of a conservation which would eliminate the development potential of the two lots.
