Pools and Spas

In a recent seawall inspection with the City Engineer, we mentioned the existence of a permitted in-ground pool in the neighborhood. We asked if the permitting of in-ground pools or spas contained any enhance engineering requirements to mitigate any infringement on the integrity of seawalls.

We were referred to Vytautas “Vyto” Adomaitis Director

Community Development Department

214 S C Street | Oxnard, CA 93030 O: tel:1-805-385-7882 | F: 805-385-7417

His response:
Building & Engineering verifies that pools adjoining waterways in the Channel Islands Harbor area are not imposing additional loading on, or otherwise affecting the integrity of the seawalls. We also verify that the presence of the constructed pool will not infringe on any maintenance easements owned by the City. There are different designs for the seawalls among the different housing tracts in this area that affect the ability of a pool to be permitted.

In the older tracts (Mandalay), pools may not be possible due to the location of seawall maintenance easements, while in Seabridge or Westport there are locations where a pool could be allowed.

For any additional questions regarding in ground pools and associated engineering requirements, please contact Asst. Director/Building Official, Jeff Pengilley, at 805-385- 8208.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU)

We requested confirmation on the City’s position on ADUs as there appears to be some disparity between State and Coastal Commission positions.
We were referred to Vytautas “Vyto” Adomaitis Director

Community Development Department

214 S C Street | Oxnard, CA 93030 O: 805-385-7882 | F: 805-385-7417

His response:
Within the City of Oxnard, Accessory Dwelling Units are not currently allowed in the Coastal Zone.
In addition, we met with Coastal Commission staff in August 2020, and we discussed the recent changes in state law which generally allows ADUs in residential zones except within the Coastal Zone. The CCC staff encouraged us, and other coastal cities, to allow ADUs within the Coastal Zone. CCC staff suggested that we look at Santa Cruz’s ADU Coastal regulations which provide ADU restrictions / reasons for denial based on lack of parking. As part of the Housing Element, City staff did not propose and City Council did not provide direction to amend our LCP to allow ADUs in the Coastal Zone. For any additional questions regarding ADUs, please contact Planning Manager, Scott Kolwitz, at 805-385-3919.

City Council Meeting April 2 2019

Thanks to all who showed up and spoke!

There is a wonderful article with great detail in the Citizens Journal!

There was a great turnout of Mandalay residents at the April 2nd meeting!

While the city Council voted unanimously to approve the CIP, there was a clear message that Capital Improvement Projects that are funded should move forward.

 

The City Council is being asked to approve a

DRAFT Five Year Capital Improvement Program

If you are available to attend please fill out a speaker card and it is perfectly fine if all you say is:

  “We request that the approval of the CIP be denied based on erroneous and inaccurate information”

 

Fill out speaker card for public comments on Item M. REPORTS

This is the last item on the agenda please submit your speaker card as early as possible.

M. REPORTS

 

Public Works Department

 

1. SUBJECT: Five Year Capital Improvement Program and Use of Bond Proceeds. (30/10/20)
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:
1. Select which projects to fund from the Draft 2019-2024 City of Oxnard Five Year Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”);
2. Adopt the 2019-2024 City of Oxnard Five Year Capital Improvement Program; and
3. Approve the proposed list of non-CIP redevelopment bond proceeds projects and appropriate funding to these projects.
(By the time this item is posted for City Council, the CIP will not have yet gone to the Public Works and Transportation Committee for review. It goes to the Committee on March 26, 2019. Staff will provide a report to the Council at a later date regarding the recommendation of the Committee.)

Regular Meeting 6:00 PM

 

WHY?

The CIP contains numbers that are impossible because our Waterways Fund does not collect enough to pay for 3,000,000 in 2021 or 11,000,000 in the 2 years following.

Unless the City is planning on funding that this seems completely erroneous and inaccurate.

Speaker Cards at City Council Meetings

Public Comment:
Public comments shall be received at several times during each meeting for particular portions of the agenda as specified on the agendas.

Individuals desiring to speak are to address the Council from the speaker podium.

Speaker cards should be filled out and given to the City Clerk prior to public comment, although persons who wish to speak are not required to provide their names or addresses. A block of thirty (30) minutes time is set aside at the beginning of a regular
meeting to receive general public comment about issues not on the agenda. Public comments not heard 13 during this thirty minute period will be heard just prior to adjournment.

Speaker cards will not be accepted after the beginning of the general public comment period in order to allow for fair
allocation of time among the known speakers.

If the time required to complete general public comments exceeds 30 minutes, any public comments thereafter shall occur immediately prior to the adjournment of the meeting. If during public comment, a person expresses a concern regarding City Council staff or service, City Council may refer the nature of the concern to staff for investigation, resolution or a report.

Comments should focus on a specific matter within the Council’s jurisdiction. Members of the public are encouraged to present written comments, preferably in advance of the meeting, as a way to fully communicate their thoughts on agendized or non-agendized items. When written materials are presented, they should be submitted to the City Clerk for distribution and record keeping ahead of time.

Videos, PowerPoint or similar presentations during public comment ordinarily are not permitted. Prior notice and coordination with the City Clerk is strongly encouraged and the Mayor reserves the privilege to limit such requests as necessary for the effective conduct of the meeting.

Public comment on regular business items normally follows staff’s presentation of the staff report, clarifying questions from Council members and applicant comments as necessary and appropriate.

Speaker cards should be filled out and given to the City Clerk prior to public comment.
Unless additional time is granted by the presiding officer, each person shall limit public comments to three minutes on any agenda item at a meeting with a cumulative total of ten minutes for all agenda items at such meeting, provided that such ten minute limit shall be voluntary.

Seawalls: Thomas Peterson Nov 27 2018: City Council Items Not On Agenda

Seawalls: Thomas Peterson Nov 27 2018: City Council Items Not On Agenda

Thank you to homeowner Thomas Peterson for speaking up and going the extra mile to be heard!

The regular City Council meeting have an agenda item for people to speak on “Items Not on the Agenda”

Local resident raises concerns about Ischia Drive pilaster

This is a way to be heard by all of your representatives plus staff!

A Mandalay homeowner had noticed deepening cracks on a pilaster at his homes location. When he contacted the City he was told that they inspected and say no structural damage…

Tom forwarded the email to the Seawall Team.

Imagine his dismay

But rather than be discouraged Tom put everything together and sent a cover letter, pictures and history to the Mayor and every member on City Council informing them that his intention was to speak on items NOT on the agenda to address this – but given the time limitation he wanted them to have all of this.

He received a response from Bert Perello:

 

Tom Peterson presents letters and images to City Council

His voice was heard and his document recorded

It seems that simply making anyone in the City aware of an issue does not mean that issue will be solved. With the turnover and upheaval it is difficult to know exactly who to contact at any given time. Tom took the time to attend the City Council meeting tonight and very succinctly presented his information and a plea to the City to take seawall repairs that have been on hold seriously before they become much more costly disasters.

On behalf of all the homeowners – THANKS TOM!

We will post updates to this issue!

Being heard does not mean our problems are over – we need your support to keep our concerns top of mind with our City Leaders and Staff. 

PLEASE HELP US MAKE 2019 THE YEAR WE MAKE WAVES!

 

If you would like to be more involved in supporting communications with the city please attend the Homeowners Annual Meeting in February!!
This will not be your average re-run annual meeting!

LANDSCAPE UPDATE AND GREENBELT REHABILITATION PROJECT

Coming to a Greenbelt near you!

Due to the efforts of CIWHOA Board members and volunteers!

What will you see?

Not all greenbelts will see change – many have been well cared-for and do not need enhancements.

When is this happening?

if you are a homeowner adjacent to a greenbelt, you and your neighbor across from you will be contacted by the City prior to work beginning in your greenbelt and you will be provided a couple options for plant material to be installed next to your home.

MANDALAY BAY
LANDSCAPING UPDATE

November, 2018

Landscaping provides ongoing benefits to our community’s look and feel, and potentially impacts our home values.   Since the development of the Community in the early 1970’s, there has been varied attention devoted to landscaping issues.

As many have noted and noticed, there are maintenance issues that have long been neglected.   We now want to share some positive developments that have occurred, as a result of renewed attention from City of Oxnard officials, coupled with involvement from some homeowners.   We are pleased to communicate with homeowners and residents regarding important landscaping developments—landscaping within and around the perimeter of our Mandalay Bay Community and green spaces within the Community.

A few of the highlights:

Perimeter landscaping matters

  • City workers have removed dead trees along Harbor Blvd. and Channels Islands Blvd. They have planted new trees (thus far 30 have been planted, with an anticipated 50-60, depending on spacing).   These tree varieties include New Zealand Christmas Tree and Eucalyptus Lemmonii. 
  • While the initial plan/installation funded 15 gallon sized trees, the City is exploring funding and the feasibility to plant larger trees.
  • Anticipated Timing – planning for completion by end of 2018.

 

Greenbelts

  • Mandalay Bay has 54 City-owned greenbelts, medians and parking area planted beds. (mostly located on the west side of the main channel).  These areas were deeded to the City as public space by the original developers.
  • These open space greenbelt areas were designed for both safety reasons—providing for emergency access to the water as well as resident’s enjoyment—allowing for a view toward the water, space to walk dogs, and structural space between homes.
  • Maintenance of these areas has not been consistent, and especially minimal in the last decade. This has created some landscaping issues and problems—some greenbelt areas have trees bordering homes that are grossly overgrown, unattractive and may be dangerous.   Over the years, some residents have stepped in to enhance their particular areas.
  • Recently, the City has taken notice and is now focused on rehabilitating the greenbelts. Working together, the Channel Islands Waterfront Home Owners Association (CIWHOA) and the City’s Arborist have developed several landscape design proposals based on the City’s criteria—drought tolerance, ease of maintenance, hardiness, non-invasive roots, non-deciduous. In addition, consideration was given to selecting contemporary, visually interesting plantings.
  • Greenbelts affected: Many of the greenbelts have been well cared for and do not currently need enhancements.  Some greenbelts which have homeowner owned easements (approximately 34-36”) have been landscaped by the owners themselves, and therefore not in need of further plantings.  Also, needed maintenance will be provided, including addressing irrigation on the greenbelts. 

 

Anticipated timing:  expect to address through the spring and summer of 2019

Anticipated communication you should look forward to hearing:

  • The City will inform the Channel Islands Waterfront Home Owners Association (CIWHA) prior to any plantings work around the perimeter areas, and updates will be posted on website.
  • Prior to beginning of any work on greenbelts adjacent to your property, you can anticipate contact from a City representative to discuss removal/cleanup plans as well as well getting your input with regard to the type of plants you prefer to have installed from proposed options.

2019 Annual Meeting

February 9, 2019

Time: 8 am - Noon
Where: Embassy Suites
2101 Mandalay Beach Rd
Oxnard, CA 93035

PLEASE ATTEND

There are many issues facing our community in Mandalay Bay
Landscaping, Water Quality, Harbor Developments, Seawalls & FUNDING
Though these issues are not new - of all of them effect all of us living here and there are new considerations and status updates that will be presented and discussed at this meeting. The Members Only portion of the meeting will have new and important items for paid membership to vote on.

CHECK BACK FOR UPDATES

Stop the bleed of our budget!

May 29 2019
There will be a Water Quality Update at the neighborhood Council meeting on May 30 at PCYC.

UPDATE: 11/29/18

Good Morning. The current storm has triggered our second nutrient sampling event. Our consultants are out on the water today taking samples. This is excellent news, as this will complete our wet weather sampling plan.
 
Next steps include sediment samples and the completion of the hydrology report. Both of these items are estimated to be completed within the next 60 days. We are also submitting a Letter of Intent to the Ocean Protection Council Once-Through Cooling Interim Mitigation Program. If you are interested in learning more about this grant, I have included a link below. This grant looks very promising and with the completion of the nutrient sampling ahead of schedule, we will have a good amount of data to support our request.
 
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like additional information. Feel free to share this information on your websites and with interested parties. Stay safe out there!

BIG WIN - THANK YOU OXNARD... but

The vote was YES to Testing
NO to the financing by us.
Then the next round of funding was taken using the same logic… 55% by Mandalay.

Then again...

A decision was later made to use this same methodology for the next round of testing.

Thank you City of Oxnard!

OUTCOME: City council voted and approved that Measure O money can and will be spent to get the testing underway immediately so the upcoming predicted rain event  (first flush) can be included in the data collection needed for applying for Grants and other forms of assistance for the prescribed remediation following analysis of the testing data.

The City council chambers were nicely filled with residents from all over, and more Mandalay Bay faces than I have seen in attendance at a council meeting in a long time. THANK YOU ALL!

The City was very responsive to questions and (in my opinion) the answers were very well thought out and gave me a sense that the staff has done a lot of homework on the background of many issues.

A brief explanation of what transpired:

These are notes and observations and I apologize in advance for any mistakes or misrepresentations in my take-away of the meeting!

MANY residents and representatives of the HOAs and INCO spoke out against the funding plan for the testing.

The City had reviewed the existing MOU’s and none of them are written in a way that satisfied the City in defining fiscal responsibility in an applicable and defensible manner.

The City position was very strong in favor of the immediate need to fund testing and that without testing to produce acceptable science backed analysis of what is causing the murky water in our harbor the City will not be able to apply for grants and assistance in SOLVING the problem.

The extended weather forecast has a likelihood of a rain event that could present an opportunity to collect water at storm drain outfalls and from the Edison Canal during this first flush and document the type and amount of pollution this flush contains.


MOST in attendance were not opposed to the testing.

Many were eager to also be on a concurrent path towards mitigation research and development as data is gathered to ensure funding resources are identified that align with findings and a rapid response plan and timeline can be developed for yet to be determined mitigation measures to be deployed.

Most were opposed to the recommended breakdown of who pays what.

After consideration the final outcome was to expedite the funding for testing.

The vote was not unanimous for paying 100% out of Measure O funds and I can respect that, but due to the complexity of coming to agreement on the delineation of responsibility I am very happy they went ahead and approved!

The HOA board is hopeful that we have once again gotten the attention of the powers that be to address the funding issues for the seawalls.

The item as it appeared on the Agenda:

SUBJECT: Approval of First Amendment to Agreement for Ongoing Water Quality Sampling, a Nutrient Study, and a Long-Term Water Quality Plan at the Channel Islands Harbor (5/5/5)
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council: 1. Approve and authorize the Mayor to execute the First Amendment to Agreement No. A-8093 with Aquatic Bioassay & Consulting Laboratories, Inc. in the amount of $306,045 for ongoing services relating to the Channel Islands Harbor water quality issue; and 2. Authorize a budget appropriation totaling $315,806, as follows – General Fund ($27,500), Waterways Zone 1 ($153,200), Waterways Zone 2 ($25,069), Seabridge CFD ($36,913) and Westport CFD ($36,211) – to fund the First Amendment to Agreement No. A-8093 and transferring funds from Project Z43801 – Seabridge Waterways TR5266 into Fund 173 ($36,913).

original post:

Please attend the City Council meeting November 13, 2018 5PM

There is so much wrong with this plan!

We have been TRYING for years to have our waterways assessment RAISED due to lack of funding for the Seawall Repairs that are greatly needed to protect ours homes and our community! Through every internal shuffle of Public Works, City managers and staff we have lost the ability to have any voice in the funding or the plans.

THE CITY WANTS 55% of the funding to come from our funds for the water quality study!

WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH FUNDING TO TAKE CARE OF KNOWN NEEDS

YOUR VOICE MAY MATTER!

Please tell the City that this is wrong!

  1. Water circulation was to be addressed by Seabridge and the City in the event the powerplant was to close.
  2. With the lack of foresight shown in NOT doing anything until a disaster strikes is the city waiting for our walls to fall?
  3. Are they intentionally depleting our funds so that we will agree to anything out of desperation?

 

WHY?

YES testing is important but there are also BUSINESSES that work in the harbor – like Seabridge Marina – what about THEM?

We have been meeting with the CITY for years to establish timelines and try to get funding for the seawalls. Countless hours of meeting with consultants hired by the city to help with our funding have resulted in NO CHANGE. A recent recommendation from the city is to have everyone north of the bridge pay the same for everything – THIS IS WRONG!

2018
The plans for Seawall repairs that had been submitted and approved have been brought to a stand still while the City has determined they were too costly and so they are engaging in VALUE ENGINEERING – which seems to be a new term for hiring consultants to review what the consultants already on payroll have already done.

This is the recent Request for Proposal (RFP) Bid Close Date: November 6, 2018 PW_19-25_Mandalay_Bay_Engineering_Services.
A sheet metal fix referred to in this proposal was reviewed and dismissed by the seawall team and engineers years ago as a possible fix for some of the issues – WARNING: It was determined at that time that it would require the removal of all DECKS and would need to be added 3 feet in front of the existing seawall (on the water side) to allow enough reinforcement to sustain the walls.

Water Quality and Seawall Update
