NORTH HARBOR BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN No additional schools are presently required to serve area residents. A 2.3.4 Parks and Recreation The planning area is served primarily by two City of Santa Aha owned parks: Campesino Park and Santa Anita Park. Additionally, the planning area includes (Willowick) a 100 acre public golf course. Although located in Santa Aha, it is owned, maintained and oper- ' ated by the City of Garden Grove. Currently, this golf course has the highest usage rate for public golf courses in Orange County. Figure 2.3 illustrates both size and location of the three public recreational facilities. While the amount of parkland available in the study area and the planning area is limited, the lack of adequately sized vacant parcels of land severely restricts the potential for adding new parks in the foreseeable future. Santa Anita Park is isolated from Harbor Boulevard. The entrance f~om First Street is difficult to access either visually, by foot or by car. Campesino Park and Willowick Golf Course are next to each other but do not play a major role as open space in the community. Neither fadlity has direct access from Harbor Boulevard. 2.3.5 Libraries The planning area is served by the Newhope Branch Library located at 122 North Newhope and is just out- side of the study area boundaries. The Newhope Branch serves a large percentage of the Santa Aha com- munity as well as portions of the surrounding commu- nities. The Newhope Branch provides the following services and facilities: (1) one meeting room; (2) sever- al typewriters and computers; and (3) bilingual chil- dren program. A 2.4 UTILITIES A 2.4.1 Water The City of Santa Aha is the primary provider of water services to the planning area. The planning area is served by a network of water mains ranging from 4 to 12 inches in size. A 12-inch main extends the length of Harbor Boulevard in the planning area. Additionally, Westminster and McFadden Avenues have 12-inch mains. First Street has a 10-inch main and Fifth Street an 8-inch main. At this time, the City obtains 70% of its water from City-owned wells, and the remainder comes from the Metropolitan Water District. The study area contains wells #20, 21, and 30. (See FigureA.4.) Water supply in the planning area is adequate for future development without major upgrades to existing fadlities. A 2-4,2 Stom~ Drains The planning area storm water runoff is managed by a combination of closed drainage systems and open channels. A 90-inch culvert crosses Harbor Boulevard at Washington Street. A second large dosed drainage system is located midway in the planning area between First and Fifth Streets. All drainage ultimately dis- charges into the Orange County Flood Control Channel. (See Figure ZS.) The entire planning area is subject to flooding during a 100-year storm, and this condition will continue until major flood control improvements along the upstream portions of the Santa Aha River are constructed. In the meantime, all new buildings are required to be at least three feet above the level of the 100-year flood plain in the AOE zone south of Hazard; and at the lowest flood level, between the 79' and 84' contour north of Hazard to Westminster. A 2-4,3 Sewerage System The planning area is served by a network of sewer lines ranging from 8 to 15 inches in size. First Street and por- tions of Harbor Boulevard have a 12-inch line. Additionally, a 10-inch sewer extends the length of Harbor Boulevard through the planning area. McFadden Avenue has a 15-inch sewer, the remaining areas are served by 8-inch lines. (See Figure 2~. Adjacent to the planning area are two trunk lines that serve as a link for the smaller mains in the planning area. The Newhopo-Placentis Trunk is a 48-inch line that extends along Newhope Boulevard, eventually connecting with the Orange County Sanitation District Treatment Plant #1. The 84-inch line located within the Santa Aha River is called the Santa Aha River Receptor. Similar to the Newhopo-Placentia trunk, the 84-inch trunk extends to both Treatroent Plants #1 and #2. Within the planning area, the Bolsa trunk extends along First St~:~t and connects with other smaller lines oper- ated by the City.ln the planning area storm water runoff is managed by combination of dosed drainage systems and open channels. A 90-inch culvert crosses Harbor Boulevard at Washington Street. A second large dosed drainage system is located midway in the planning area between First and Fifth Streets. 5
