Chestnut with the State of California Department of Transportation. DISCUSSION The State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) needs to construct an overhead sign structure, adjacent to the southbound Route 5 Interchange and Route 55, near the Santa Ana Zoo (exhibit 1). In order to construct and maintain their sign, Caltrans has requested an ingress/egress easement through a portion of the Santa Ana Zoo, specifically identified as 1815 E Chestnut Avenue. This easement consists of a temporary construction easement for construction and access to maintain the sign. The Zoo currently uses this property for overflow parking, and does not foresee a conflict between granting this easement request, and existing or future use. Construction of the sign is scheduled to begin in June 2006. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed request is not considered a project. No further action is required. 30A-1 Easement at 1815 E.
