- Parkside will sit at significantly higher elevation than adjacent
Kenilworth tract
- Flooding will compound for the Kenilworth homes and surroundings if any
component of the Parkside drainage system fails (I.e. power failure of
pumps, clogged catch basin, etc.), or in certain storm conditions
- EIR states the tracts to the north, south, and east do NOT come out of
the flood plain

- Shea insists these techniques are time-tested and won’t harm adjacent
homes
- HB has history of residential subsidence problems
- Shea promises careful monitoring, but the first signs of trouble may be
cracked foundations on Kenilworth homes
- Shea and/or HB will be held liable for any problems during construction
or thereafter
- If they’re so certain of their mitigation measures they should provide indemnification
for any and all casualty loss to existing homeowners

- Liquefaction can occur on any wet, uncompacted sub-strata during a
temblor
- Parkside plans propose a 50’-wide Paseo Park to mitigate vibration and
likely subsidence problems
- sloped toward 22 existing homes on Kenilworth
- they claim that ‘neither dewatering nor remedial grading will be
required…’
- made of thousands of cubic yards of fill
|
|
14
|
- The wet, uncompacted sub-strata together with the new fill would be
subject to liquefaction, therefore the whole slope would be at extreme
risk for liquefaction and slumping during a temblor, endangering homes
on Kenilworth
- The Final EIR doesn’t account for this newly created and foreseeable
problem which is a likely consequence of their proposed mitigation

- Single point-of-access for 171 new homes with an additional 400 cars
dumping out onto a busy street is simply bad planning.
- Since mitigation is possible, please require the developer to provide
what will be needed now so we don’t have to fix it later
|

|
- Connection to Greenleaf proposed as “emergency only” access
- As currently stated a future City Council could open full access despite
100% Greenleaf and neighborhood resident opposition
- Connection to Bolsa Chica St would remove the Greenleaf temptation and
provide suitable emergency access
|

|
- When the light is green we can’t get out because traffic is flowing down
Graham
- When light’s red cars are coming out from Parkside, so we still won’t be
able to get out
- Backups will be caused by the Parkside signal and create left turn
delays when exiting Kenilworth northbound on Graham
- Southbound cars waiting at the signal will cause dangerous visibility
problems
- “Keep Intersection Clear” striping won’t solve the visibility problem

- Permanently prohibit Greenleaf Ln. from being opened to through traffic
(allow emergency access only)
- Require the addition of a second access point (ingress/egress) at the
end of the property opposite to the currently proposed single access on
Graham St.
|
|

|
- Indemnify (through set-asides or insurance bonds) the tract of homes to
the immediate north of the property against any subsidence damage during
construction and for a reasonable period of time (to encompass at least
two El Nino weather cycles and a couple of temblors) after construction
is completed.
- Indemnify existing homes in the
surrounding tracts against flood damage and/or damage due to
liquefaction of the added fill in the Parkside tract.
