Company and ALPS transferring the ownership of the Atascadero Creek Reservation to
ALPS) [Brady Cherry]
Community Services Director Brady Cherry gave the staff report and answered questions of
Council. He explained that since he wrote his staff report, additional information was brought to
his attention. He stated that there are a few homes along this portion of the creek who back up to
the creek and use part of the reserve property as their backyards. He reported that ALPS has
agreed to allow this to continue as long as they are not giving up their right of ownership. Mr.
Cherry stated that he went over this information with the City Attorney and said that wording can
be added to the agreement to guarantee ALPS' rights.
Mayor Pro Tem Arrambide expressed his concerns with this agreement, one being the fact that
the agreement allows for the City to perform weed abatement which is an additional cost.
Council Member Clay asked if it would have any effect of the downtown area. Mr. Cherry stated
that it would not.
Council Member Luna stated that he supports this agreement.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Marge Mackey, 5504 Tunitas, representative of ALPS, stated that the Water Co. and the City
approached ALPS with this agreement. She commented that they look forward to owning this
creek reservation as we will see how this type of situation will work for the future. Mayor
Johnson asked Mr. Hanley about the residents near the creek and their right to the creek area.
Mr. Hanley replied that the policy facing them now does not address the right of the residents,
but if there was an agreement, he could help ALPS in any language that may occur as a result
between ALPS and the property owners. Council Member Clay asked if she was agreeable to
amending #2.06 to allow the City the right to develop walkpaths in the future. She replied that
she would be in favor of it up by the City Yard.
Joan O'Keefe, 9985 Old Morro Road East, expressed her concern with creating walkpaths along
the creekway. She also asked if ALPS will need to have liability insurance.
Geraldine Brasher, representative of ALPS, stated that ALPS already has a liability policy that
will cover them concerning this creek reservation.

concerns with creating linear walkpaths and the term"weed abatement."
Hal Carden, 5355 San Jacinto, asked if it was probable in this situation for one of the property

behind the property owner's home. He stated that the area is owned by the Atascadero Mutual
Water Co. and would then, with this agreement, become the property of ALPS.

Meeting Date: 06/08/99
Highway 101 - Cuesta Grade Project
Traffic Management Plan.
A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) has been developed for the Cuesta Grade
Project to reduce or eliminate inconveniences for motorists, and to educate
the public about what they can expect during construction. This TMP was
developed during the Project's design phase and is considered an essential
and integral element of the overall project. The plan includes the following
elements:
Construction Area Information and
Congestion Mitigation Strategies
Four Lanes —There will be no permanent lane closures. Project construction has
been staged to allow four lanes of traffic throughout the entire duration of the project.
However, intermittent lane closures will be used during off peak hours.
Traffic Control Restrictions —Temporary lane closures will not be allowed
during peak travel hours, such as the morning and afternoon commute.
Tow Service - Towing service will be on-site during peak travel periods to move
disabled vehicles out of the travel lanes quickly, and keep traffic moving through the
area.
Gawk Screens - Screens will be installed to keep construction activity out of view
of passing traffic. Caltrans has found that motorists slowing to look at construction
activities can cause significant delays.
Changeable Message Signs - Lighted signs will provide motorists with advance
warning of delays, slow traffic ahead, as well as other construction area advisories.
Construction Zone Enhanced Enforcement Program (COZEEP) - Caltrans
has entered into a contract with the California Highway Patrol to provide additional
officers to work within the construction zone. Generally, they will be used for traffic
handling enforcement, on-time incident response, and safety coordination.
Public Awareness Campaign
24-Hour Telephone Helpline— Public Information Staff will be available during
normal business hours to answer questions. Recorded messages with current traffic
impacts and other project related concerns will be available at all times.
Project Website —A website will be created to provide information on traffic
impacts and general project and construction information. It will also provide a
project e-mail address for public comments and questions. The website will link to
local ridesharing and public transit sites, and other web locations with useful or
related information.
Community Outreach —
Public Speakers will be available for all types of speaking engagements.
Visitor and Tourist Program will provide information to local tourist based
organizations and businesses.
News Media coverage, including TV, radio, and newspaper, will be continuous and
intensive to provide regular updates on the project and its impact on traffic.
Printed Material will be distributed throughout the County to educate the public
about the project, its information services, and transportation options.
Transportation Alternatives
Caltrans has entered into a cooperative agreement with the San Luis Obispo
Council of Governments (SLOCOG)to coordinating a package of Transportation
Demand Management strategies to reduce the number of vehicles using the
Cuesta Grade at peak times. The following elements are included:
Park and Ride Lots - Approximately 120 -150 Park and Ride spaces will be
available for the duration of the project. This is in addition to the 145 spaces
currently available north of Cuesta Grade.
Central Coast Area Transit (CCAT) —Three new busses will be added to
Route 9 (North County) before the construction begins, bringing the total number of
buses running in the North County to six. The number of trips for each bus will be
increased during morning and afternoon peak times. Route 9 Passes will be
discounted below the current$30 price.
Vanpools -Vanpool service will be upgraded, and pricing will be subsidized.
Incentives for employees who ride regularly will be available (e.g. movie tickets, gift
certificates). Call Ride-On Transportation for information on how to join a vanpool.
541-TRIP.
Carpool Matching -Services will be available to match commuters from any
community with each other in carpools or available vanpools.
Employer Outreach -Assistance will be given to employers to implement
demand management programs to analyze the transportation needs of their
employees, and develop transportation programs.
Telecommuting - San Luis Obispo Regional Rideshare will work with individuals
and employers to set up effective telecommuting programs.
For more information on alternative transportation solutions before,
during, or after the Cuesta Grade Project, call 541-CARS

AESTHETIC DESIGN ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Revegetation Concept
Revegetation will be accomplished through both seeding and container planting.
The seeding will be done along with the erosion control portion of the project,
during and immediately after construction. A contract to install the containerized
planting and additional seeding will be entered into within one year after completion
of road work construction.
The general planting concept is to plant trees and understory in naturally appearing
patterns on all fill slopes and on cut slopes approximately 2:1 or flatter. Steeper
slopes will be revegetated by seeding. Riparian species will be planted in drainages.
An irrigation system will be installed as necessary.
All planting will include a one-year plant establishment period and a five-year
monitoring period. 100% success rate will be required after one year, and a
minimum 50% success rate will be required after five years.
The EIR sets the criteria for replacing disturbed revegetation ratios as follows:
i
Oak under 10"dbh =10:1
Oak over 10" dbh = tree per inch
Syc and Walnut under 10" dbh = 5:1
Syc and Walnut over 10" dbh = 10:1
0.11 ac wetland disturbed to be replaced at 2:1 area.
Serpentine Manzanita will replaced with a minimum of 30 of same.
The number of trees removed is as follows:
Oak trees = 16
Sycamore trees = 6
Walnut trees = 1
Caltrans proposes replanting the following:
Approx. 2000 tree seedlings
Approx. 2000 understory plants.
The majority of plants will be grown from local stock.
The containerized revegetation plants will probably include (but not be limited to):
Trees:
Coast Live Oak
Blue Oak
Valley Oak
Scrub Oak
Calif. Sycamore
Calif. Walnut
Madrone
Calif. Bay Laurel
Arroyo Willow
Yellow Willow
Red Willow
Black Cottonwood
Understory:
Coast Sagebrush
Coyote Brush
Toyon
Bush Poppy
Blackberry
Elderberry
Serpentine Manzanita
Sticky Monkeyflower
Black Sage
California Buckwheat
Coffeeberry
Golden Yarrow
Bush Lupine
Yucca
Seeding revegetation plants will include:
Bush Lupine
California Sagebrush
California Brome
California Buckwheat
Golden Yarrow
California Poppy

Sticky Monkeyflower
Nodding Nassella
Purple Needlegrass
Black Sage
Wetland species are yet to be determined.

RE: Atascadero Lakes/Development Agreement
Dear Mr. Hanley:
As we have discussed, my original stipulation regarding the $250,000 contribution was
that the money be used to purchase youth fields and youth recreational facilities. I made
this stipulation because I did not want the money to be used to maintain existing facilities
nor did I want it used to improve recreational facilities specifically for adults.
At this time I am willing to amend my original stipulation as follows: the money is to be
used where the primary use is for youth recreation, fields and facilities and the money
shall be disbursed only with the approval of the City Council.
I regret that I cannot attend the City Council meeting tonight. I ask that you please share
this letter with the City Council in my absence.
Sincerely
The'T akes,JI,L
