the Commission
PUBLIC COMMENT
Michael Sherer, 6755 El Camino Real, applicant's co -representative, stated that he felt this was a
good, quality project that fits in with the character of the neighborhood. He expressed the
following concerns:
1. Condition of Approval No. 18: They would like to keep the dialogue open to the
possibility of a monument sign for the future. They requested the last sentence on
Condition No. 18 be made more lenient and open to future discussion.
2. Condition of Approval No. 19: For security and safety reasons they are requesting that
Condition No. 19 (reciprocal access) be removed.
3. Mitigation Measure No. l l.c.: They have tried to accommodate any noise issues through
the design of the building and by insuring that 95% of vehicle work and all storage is to
be done inside the building. They would request that Measure No. l I. c. be removed.
City of Atascadero Planning Commission Minutes Regular Meeting October 15, 2002
Page 5 of 10
Mr. Sherer answered questions of the Commission.
Commissioner O'Malley inquired whether the applicant would be agreeable expanding access in
the back at some future time when the remainder of the site developed. Mr. Shearer stated that
they would not want the issue of future cooperation to be part of the requirements, however if it
is feasible and the design of the adjoining property allows for participation that would be a
possibility. They have no objection to the creation of the reciprocal access along the front of the
proj ect.
Chairman Bentz closed the Public Commentperiod.
Commissioner Kelley stated that it was his opinion Mitigation Measure No. l l.c., noise analysis,
should be dropped as a requirement on this project. He feels with the 120 -foot distance and the 9
to 10 foot rise the noise would be significantly reduced.
Commissioner O'Malley asked for an explanation on the need for the noise analysis. Mr.
McHarris explained the reasoning for the analysis and suggested if the Commission removed the
requirement for a noise analysis they condition the project to have all work done within the
building. Mr. McHarris indicated that is was his understanding that the Noise Ordinance always
applies and would apply here but that the noise analysis would determine how far the noise
would travel from this site.
A discussion ensued regarding the condition requiring a noise analysis, the issue of signage and
the removal of Condition No. 19.
Chairman Bentz reopened the Public Comment period to permit further discussion with the
applicant's representative regarding rear access to the project.
Michael Sherer and the applicant, Greg Robinson, responded to Commission questions regarding
rear access. Mr. Robinson stated that in their other locations alley access has proven detrimental
to the operation creating problems with theft and safety. An extensive inventory will be kept in
the back of the building and the rear doors are left open during business hours. The applicant
stated his support for providing front access, but reiterated that he was not in favor of creating a
reciprocal access in the rear.
Chairman Bentz closed the Public Commentperiod,
Chairman Bentz requested separate votes on the issues raised by the applicant.
MOTION: By Commissioner O'Malley and seconded by Commissioner Eddings to approve
Condition of Approval No. 18 as stated.

COMMISSIONER COMMENTS & REPORTS
Commissioner Eddings asked about the new state law affecting guesthouses. Director Frace
referred to AB 1866 and indicated that this will preempt the city from requiring Conditional Use
Permits on second units where allowed; they will be permitted with a building permit by right.
This bill will not affect guesthouses.
Vice Chairman Fonzi referred to the downtown zoning text change amendment. She requested a
copy of the original request for zoning and any Main Street resolutions regarding the requested
change as well as the pros and cons of addressing it as a conditional use permit before the
Planning Commission or having it go to an appearance review before the Main Street
Committee. Director Frace referred to Attachment 2, page 21 and indicated this was the text
originally recommended by Main Street to the Redevelopment Board; the Redevelopment
Agency then sponsored this application to go through the zone change process. The hearing
tonight was intended to utilize the Commission as a sounding board for the various ideas and
then to recommend an option to the City Council.
Commissioner O'Malley stated that he had met with the Main Street Board earlier in the day and
they had requested the continuance because they needed more time to review the proposed
change with their committees.

Zone Change 2001-0029 / Conditional Use Permit 2001-0067
Vesting Tentative Tract Map 2001-0014 (Tract 2454),
2000 Ferrocarril Road
(Kelly Gearhart / Wilson Land Surveys)
SUBJECT:
The proposed project consists of Planned Development Zone Change to PD -16 with a Master
Plan of Development to allow a 16 lot single family residential subdivision with an average
minimum lot size of 2.5 acres. One of the lots will be a 5.76 -acre open space lot with an
equestrian/pedestrian trail and parking area. The project will permit the construction of 13
additional single family dwellings. The site has rolling topography and large flat areas with
numerous oak trees and native vegetation. The site is located between the Salinas River and the
Union Pacific Railroad. Access will be provided from a street extension off of El Camino Real
that will require construction of a grade separated railroad crossing. No water or sewer services
are available to the site currently. The site will be served by individual septic systems and will
apply for annexation to the Atascadero Mutual Water Company's service area. The project is
consistent with the General Plan Land Use designation and requires a Planned Development
Overlay for zoning consistency.
PLANNING COMMISSION REHEARING:
This item was originally heard and recommend for approval by the Planning Commission on
September 17, 2002. Prior to final City Council approval a noticing discrepancy was discovered
for the project. Consequently, most of the property owners on Ferrocarril Road were not
properly notified of the project hearing. The project is being reheard by the Planning
Commission to allow the resident's of Ferrocarril Road a fair hearing process.
One of the primary issues involved with the project is the possible extension of Ferrocarril Road
as a through street. The project is designed with two access options. Alternative 1 would create
a through street connection from Ferrocarril Road to El Camino Real. Alternative 2 proposes an
emergency access connection from Ferrocarril to El Camino instead. Originally, the Planning
Commission recommended Alternative 1. The primary concern of the Ferrocarril residents
appears to be the access issue. At a City Council meeting the residents expressed a strong desire

for Alternative 2. The Planning Commission may change its recommendation on this issue
based on the public hearing testimony.

2002
Site description: The site is a relatively flat area located between the Union Pacific Railroad and
the Salinas River at the north end of Ferrocarril Road. There are 331 native oak trees on the site
and numerous open areas with grasses and brush. The site is above the 100 -year flood plain and
was mined around the turn of the century for aggregate material. The character of the area is
defined by large open areas along the river and large lot rural residential uses.
DISCUSSION OF PLANNING ISSUES:
General Plan / Zoning Consistency
The project application was received by the City on March 8, 2002 while the General Plan
Update was still in process. The application included a Vesting Tract Map. Vesting maps are
protected from changes to the General Plan and Zoning once they are deemed complete.
Therefore, although the General Plan designation on a portion of the site has changed from PUB
(Public) to SE (Suburban Estates) the map will be subject to the previous General Plan rules.
Since both the old and new General Plan designations allow for single family residential
development on 2.5 acre minimum lots the project would be permitted under either designation
and staff s analysis and recommendation would be the same.
ITEM NUMBER: 2
DATE: 11-5-02
Cluster Development / PD 16
Last year the Planning Commission and City Council approved a new cluster residential planned
development overlay zone known as PD -16. The purpose of PD -16 is to allow for the clustering
of smaller lots on portions of the site that are appropriate for development while avoiding
constrained portions of the site. The proposed project includes a request for a PD -16 overlay to
allow for the clustering of lots. The project parcel is an old railroad right of way that included a
long narrow portion that runs parallel to the railroad tracks. Since this parcel has been
designated as residential, the owner could apply for a subdivision map that would create up to
three residential parcels along this narrow flag. Instead of developing the flag portion, the
project proposes to provide the flag as a 5.77 -acre open space parcel that will include pedestrian
and equestrian access trail connection to the Salinas River. By utilizing the PD -16 overlay the
residential density of the flag portion can be transferred in the form of smaller lots to another
portion of the site. Overall, the project density will remain at 1 unit per 2.50 acres but some of
the lots will range down to 1.0 acres in area in exchange for the 5.77 -acre open space parcel.
The PD -16 overlay requires the approval of a Master Plan of Development (MPD) in the form of
a Conditional Use Permit. The MPD regulates the location and appearance of future houses
within the project. The text of PD -16 is included below:

Planned Development 16 zoning text:
(a) Purpose. The purpose of the district is to allow the creative clustering of residential
parcels to preserve sensitive environmental features and provide open space by allowing
lot sizes smaller than the underlying zone's minimum lot size requirements in the RS,
RSF, LSF Zoning Districts.
(b) Development Standards:
(1) The maximum density shall not exceed that allowed by the underlying zoning
district and General Plan designation. Individual lot sizes may be smaller
provided the overall project density conforms to the specified maximum density.
(i) Minimum individual lot sizes shall be at least one acre (gross) for
parcels served by on-site septic systems and 0.5 acre (net) for lots served
by the City's sewer system.
(2) Lots shall utilize common access when feasible.
(3) Open space easements shall be provided for each project. All open space
easements shall be designated as non -build, non -storage areas on the Final
Parcel / Tract Maps. (Septic systems are allowed to be located within the open
space easements.
(4) All building sites within the Planned Development shall be located on slopes
under 20 percent.
(5) Development on each parcel shall be designed to avoid native tree impacts,
preserve the contours of the hills, protect prominent view sheds, maintain wildlife
corridors and minimize impacts to significant drainage areas and blue -line
creeks.
(6) A Master Plan of Development shall be approved in conjunction with any
Tentative Tract / Parcel Map application. All subdivision improvements and
subsequent development shall be consistent with the Master Plan of Development.
The Master Plan of Development shall contain thefollowing:
(i) A site plan indicating land use, common open space, circulation, lot
sizes, slopes, native trees, building sites and common landscape features;
(ii) A statistical summary of the project's land uses and densities;
(iii) A statement of project features that will provide a public benefit;
(iv) Any special development standards that will be required of future
development;
(v) Individual building plans and elevations are not required.

Access
The project is located at the end of Ferrocarril Road which is an existing cul-de-sac in excess of
3000 feet in length. Due to its length and number of existing dwellings, Ferrocarril Road is not
in conformance with City street standards. Consequently, the project could not extend
Ferrocarril or add addition units without providing a secondary access point. The project
proposes to provide this secondary access point from El Camino Real to the north at Home
Depot. The Home Depot project includes a roadway bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad that
would provide access just north of the proposed project. The map and improvement plans
require the installation of the bridge and the extension of Ferrocarril Road north to connect with
El Camino Real
The project is designed with two access options. Alternative 1 would create a through street
connection from Ferrocarril Road to El Camino Real. Alternative 2 proposes an emergency
access connection from Ferrocarril to El Camino. Alternative 1 is the preferred alternative by
the City Fire Department because it provides two access points across the railroad for existing
development along the River. Currently the Lakes project and Ferrocarril are accessible only at
the Chico Road at grade railroad crossing.
In order to provide the road connection to El Camino Real, the project will need to acquire an
easement from the Atascadero Mutual Water Company (AMWQ. The AMWC has provided
project conditions for acquisition of the easement. These conditions have been included on the
map.
Roads & Maintenance
Consistent with City policy, the project is conditioned that all road be privately owned and
maintained with public access easements provided. The project will be required to establish
maintenance districts for both the streets and the railroad bridge.

Water Service & AMWC Annexation
The project parcel was originally railroad right-of-way that predated the creation of the
Atascadero Colony. When the Atascadero Colony was mapped and the Atascadero Mutual
Water Company (AMWC) was created, railroad parcels were not included the water service area
and were not issued water shares. Due to a number of legal issues related to the AMWC's water
rights, the AMWC cannot provide water service outside of it boundaries. As a result, the project
parcel cannot be served by the AMWC at this date. In order to receive water service, the parcel
must be annexed to the AMWC district, which requires an engineering analysis, and State
approval of an issuance of water shares. The applicant, City and AMWC are all in agreement
that annexation is the best option for providing domestic water and fire suppression water. The
project has been conditioned to require the applicant to go through the annexation process. If for
some unseen reason the State denies the annexation the project could be developed with
individual wells and fire storage tanks.
Trails
The project includes a system of pedestrian and equestrian trails that will provide access to the
Salinas River and De Anza Trail. One trail segment includes a staging area at Chico Road and
then runs along the flag lot parallel to the railroad. A second trail segment is conditioned along
the east side of the road the runs through the project. This trail segment will provide a
connection from the current end of Ferrocarril Road to Graves Creek.
Native Trees
There are 331 native live and white oak trees located within the project area. An arborist report
has been prepared for the project by Arbor Tree Surgery and is included in the conditions of
approval. The arborist report determined that 15 trees would be impacted by development of the
subdivision improvements, primarily the road. Of those trees only one 14 -inch live oak tree
needs to be removed. The arborist report recommends mitigation measures for the preservation
of the other trees.
Environmental Issues
An expanded initial study has been prepared for the project to assess potential environmental
issues related to the site. The applicant has prepared technical studies assessing archaeology,
biology, kit fox habitat, noise, soils and native trees. Due to the historic mining that occurred on
the site, no cultural resources were found. The initial study is included as an attachment to
resolutions of approval. The studies found that all of these potential issues could be mitigated to
a level of less than significant. The mitigation measures have been included as conditions of
project approval.
ITEM NUMBER: 2
DATE: 11-5-02
CONCLUSIONS:
• The subdivision is consistent with the Subdivision Ordinance; and
• The project density is in conformance with both the current and previous General Plan; and
• The project meets the Planned Development 16 standards contained in the City's Zoning
Ordinance.
1. The Commission may recommend the City Council approve the project subject to additional
or revised project conditions. The Commission's motion to approve needs to include any
new or revised project conditions.
2. The Commission may recommend denial of the project.
3. The Commission may continue the hearing and refer the item back to staff for additional
information or analysis. Direction should be given to staff and the applicant on required
information.

SUBJECT: Negative Declaration Comments for the Gearhart Ferrocarril Road Residential Suburban
Subdivision Project, 2000 Ferrocarril Road, Atascadero
Mr. Frace,
Thank you for including the San Luis Obispo Air Pollution Control District (District) in the development
plan review process. We have completed our review of the project referral for the Planned Development
Zone Change with a Master Plan of Development to allow a 16 lot single family residential suburban
subdivision on an approximately 38.5 acre site with approximately 6 acres of open space and 13 dwellings
having 2.5 acre minimum lot sizes.
GENERAL
The first Land Use Planning Strategy in the District's Clean Air Plan (CAP) is "Planning Compact
Communities". Maintaining compact city and village areas reduces reliance on the automobile by
enhancing the viability of public transit and maximizing the potential for walking and bicycling to work,
shopping, and other destinations. A more compact community results in fewer vehicle trips and fewer
vehicle miles traveled. Therefore, vehicle emissions are reduced by compact community development.
While the proposed project is within the Urban Reserve Line, it is located near the urban fringe. The
District recommends prioritizing higher density development in the urban core prior to increased low-
density development at the urban fringe. Should the project be approved however, we have the following
comments regarding the proposal.
SPECIFIC COMMENTS
Commendations
District staff evaluated the potential operational project impacts by running the URBEMIS 2001 computer
model, a tool for estimating vehicle travel, fuel use and the resulting emissions related to this land use
project. The results of the model demonstrated that operational impacts will likely be close to the CEQA
mitigation threshold value of 10 lbs of emissions per day. In an effort to mitigate the incremental
contributions to air quality impacts that result from the operational phase of this project, a multi -use
Class 1 bicycle, pedestrian, and equestrian trail encompassing approximately 6 acres will be built. This
measure will not only tend to reduce vehicle emissions by offering a local attraction to the residence, but it
will likely also help to build community interaction, This measure is to be commended as being consistent
with suggested transportation control measures in the CAP.

Construction Phase Miti¢ation
The construction phase mitigation measures listed as Attachment 1 to the Negative Declaration should
minimize the potential for nuisance dust issues with the following minor modifications:
1. Add the following sentences at the end of Item A:
Increased watering frequency would be required whenever wind speeds exceed 15 mph.
Reclaimed (nonpotable) water should be used whenever possible.
2. In Item G, add the word "approved" after the word "methods"
All dirt stock -pile areas should be sprayed daily as needed.
These additions are to maintain consistency with the dust control measures identified in the District CEQA
Air Quality Handbook dated August 1997. Full implementation of these dust control measures during the
project construction phase will minimize the air quality impacts and reduce the potential for nuisance
concerns to nearby properties. Further, specifying that all grading and demolition plans include the
fugitive dust control measures is a good means of ensuring adherence to the dust control measures.
The District also recommends inclusion of the following energy efficiency mitigation methods in order to
reduce the demand on electrical supply and reduce emissions at the power plant source.
• Increase attic and wall insulation beyond Title 24 requirements
• Use built-in energy efficient appliances
• Use double paned windows
• Use energy efficient interior lighting
Trip reduction benefits can be realized by ensuring that the new homes are built with flexibility in the
internal wiring/cabling to allow telecommuting, teleconferencing, and teleleaming to occur simultaneously
at several locations throughout the homes.
CAUTIONS
. ,�riet Itas;.the following concerns to bring to your attention about this development project:
1. Asbestos:
It was not clear from the project referral information if there are currently structures on the property.
there are, demolition of these structures has potential negative air quality impacts, including issues
surrounding proper demolition and disposal of asbestos containing material (ACM). If there are any
demolition of structures, this project would be subject to the requirements stipulated in the National
Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). These include, but are not limited to:
1) notification requirements to the District, 2) asbestos survey conducted by a Certified Asbestos
Inspector, and 3) applicable removal and disposal requirements of identified ACM. Please contact
Tim Fuhs of the APCD Enforcement Division at (805) 781-5912 for further information.
2. Naturally Occurring Asbestos:
Asbestos has been identified by the state Air Resources Board as a toxic air contaminant. Serpentine is
Planning Commission Resolution 2002-0064

a very common rock type in the state and was identified by the Board as having the potential to contain
naturally occurring asbestos. Under the recent State Air Resources Board Air Toxics Control Measure
(ATCM) for Construction, Grading, Quarrying, and Surface Mining Operations, prior to any grading
activities at the site, a geologic analysis will be necessary to determine if serpentine rock is
present. If naturally occurring asbestos is found at the site an Asbestos Health and Safety
Program and an Asbestos Dust Control Plan is required to be approved by the District before
construction begins. If you have any questions regarding these requirements, contact Karen Brooks of
the APCD Enforcement Division at (805) 781-5912.

within San Luis Obispo County. Under certain circumstances where no technically feasible
alternatives are available, limited developmental burning under restrictions may be allowed. This
requires prior application, payment of fee based on the size of the project, District approval, and
issuance of a burn permit by the District and the local fire department authority. The applicant is
required to famish the District with the study of technical feasibility (which includes costs and other
constraints) at the time of application. If you have any questions regarding these requirements, contact
Karen Brooks of our Enforcement staff at (805) 781-5912.
Toxic Diesel Exhaust:
Building the homes and open -space use area near the Union Pacific Railroad tracks could potentially
result in exposures to toxic diesel emissions from the train engines, particularly if engines were to idle
in that location. Since this area is likely single tracked, trains will not likely remain in the area for
extended periods of time and therefore the risk and potential for nuisance odor complaints should be
low.
The District thanks you for the opportunity to review this project and if you have any questions or
comments, please feel free to contact me at 781-5912,
Sincerely,
Andy Mutziger

Dear Warren:
At their September 4, 2002 meeting, the AMWC Board of Directors provided us with
additional direction regarding the subject project The Board felt annexation into the AMWC
service area would be the most appropriate means of supplying water to the proposed
subdivision for both fire suppression and domestic uses. Therefore, the Board recommends
that the City require the developer to annex the property into the AMWC service area.
Furthermore, the Board recommended that other areas within the City not currently within the
AMWC service area be included in the annexation.
Apropos to your August 29, 2002 letter, we are providing you with the following conditions of
approval intended to mitigate the environmental impacts of the project. Note that Condition
Nos. 2 and 3.c exclude both septic tanks and wells within 150 -feet of the northerly tract
boundary. It is does not appear practical to install 50 -foot sanitary seals on the private wells
due to the relative shallowness of the aquifer. The 150 -foot setback reduces the potential for
contamination of the community wells to a level of insignificance.
1. Prior to recording the final map, the applicant shall make every effort to annex the
property into the AMWC service area. The annexation is required to provide the
subdivision with an adequate, safe and reliable source of water for domestic and fire
suppression uses. If annexation into the AMWC service area fails for reasons beyond the
control of the applicant, the applicant shall perform well tests on each lot to the
satisfaction of the City Engineer. The final map shall not record until the well tests reveal
there is an adequate, safe, reliable and long-term water supply available for each lot.
2. The applicant shall provide a 150 -foot wide exclusionary easement contiguous to the
northerly tract boundary that expressly prohibits construction of septic systems or wells.
The applicant shall provide the easement by separate instrument, shall show the
easement on the final map, and shall address the restrictions in the CC&R's for the
project

3. The applicant shall record instruments separate from and concurrent with the final map
that discloses the following to all property owners within the subdivision. AMWC shall
review and approve the form and content of the instruments relative to these conditions of
approval before they record.
A. AMWC operates community water wells on the parcel adjacent to the
subdivision (the "River Parcel") and that operation said community wells will
have influence over and interfere with the private wells constructed on the lots
within the subdivision.
B. Development and operation of community wells and other water -related
facilities on the River Parcel will be of an industrial nature. Impacts to the
subdivision will result from operations on the River Parcel that produce
intermittent and continuous noise and dust. Other activities will include the
drilling of wells, excavation of recovery ponds, construction of pipelines,
hauling, handling and storage of hazardous materials, and construction of
well and treatment buildings.
C. The existence of an easement that prohibits construction of septic systems or
wells within 150 -feet of the northerly tract boundary.
D. The possible future uses of the River Parcel that could include residential
subdivisions, public parks or other uses.

3. All proposed trail access points on to AMWC property, the Salinas River or the De Anza
trail shall include appropriate signage and vehicular barriers to prevent property damage,
damage to the riparian environment, vandalism, uses inconsistent with AMWC policies,
or other inappropriate or illegal uses. All access points shall be adequately maintained by
the City or an entity established to maintain the trail system. Access to AMWC property
where the proposed roadway is contiguous to the northerly tract boundary shall be
controlled in a manner consistent with other access points to AMWC property.
In addition to the conditions of approval listed above that are required to mitigate the
environmental impacts of the project, the following conditions of approval related to the
tentative tract map should be incorporated into the project:
1. The applicant shall provide a 30 -foot wide access and water main easement across
Parcel 1 of Parcel Map AT 01-060 recorded in 56 -PM -37 in the office of the County
Recorder (APN 49-291-005). The easement shall parallel, more or less, the easterly
boundary of Parcel 1. The easement shall be bounded on the south by the existing 60 -
foot wide access and water main easement across Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 of said parcel
map and shall be bounded on the north by the northwesterly boundary of Parcels 1 and
2. The easement shall connect the existing dirt roadway on the River Parcel (APN 49-
011-001) to the existing access and water main easement across Parcel 1 and Parcel 2
that benefits AMWC.

2. The applicant shall retain the existing 50 -foot wide access and water main easement that
benefits AMWC across Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 of Parcel Map AT 01-060. Said map is
recorded in 56 -PM -37 in the office of the County Recorder (APN's 49-291-005.024).
Recording of the final map shall not eliminate or otherwise alter the existing 50 -foot wide
access and water main easement across Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 that benefits AMWC.
3. The applicant shall provide a 50 -foot wide access and water main easement to AMWC
across the proposed subdivision. The easement shall follow the roadway alignment
shown on tentative map.
4. The applicant shall provide 10 -foot wide water line easements to AMWC. The
easements shall be parallel to the side lot lines of Lot Nos. 1 through 5 and be bounded
on the south by the proposed road right-of-way shown on the tentative map and on the
north by the northerly tract boundary. The easements shall be in a form approved by
AMWC.
5. The applicant shall provide an access and water main easement across the property to
north of the River Parcel (commonly referred to as the Rochelle Property) to AMWC. The
easement shall include any bridge, at -grade crossing, underpass or other means used to
cross the Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way to gain access to the property east of the
tracks.
6. All access rights granted by the applicant to AMWC relative to these conditions of
approval shall be equal or superior to the rights granted the property owners within the
subdivision. The easements shall benefit AMWC and all future property owners of the
River Parcel or subdivisions thereof. The applicant shall not place restrictions on the
access rights granted by the easements required by these conditions of approval such
as, but not limited to, prohibitions against hauling hazardous materials or large equipment
or hours of use.

RE: Review of Zone Change/CUP, Applicant: Kelly Gearhart ZCH 2002-0029/CUP 2002-0067
Site Location, 2000 Ferrocarril Rd (east of Union Pacific RR)
Dear Warren,
Thank you for referring the above Zone Change and Conditional Use Permit proposal to our
agency. The project is located adjacent to the Salinas River and has numerous mature trees and a
wide drainage swale through the center of the site. The Swale is located just above 100 -year flood
level. The swale is approximately 25 feet below the terrace elevation. It carries the drainage from
a large area of Atascadero west of Traffic Way.
We are working in a cooperative program with the City, State Fish and Game, Regional Water
Quality Control Board, State Water Resources Control Board, NRCS, the Monterey Bay National
Marine Sanctuaryand others to determine measures to reduce erosion,'limit sedimentation, address
flooding and improve habitat along the Salinas River. The Salinas River is a corridor for migrating
steelhead that travel to the few remaining steelhead habitats in our region upstream of Atascadero.
Projects near the River should incorporate measures that will enhance the habitat conditions in the
River.
The property contains many cottonwoods, sycamores and oaks. The removal of these trees should
be considered to be significant. The design of the subdivision (contained in the Initial Study) does
not address cluster measures that could protect most of these trees.
The preliminary subdivision design most notably lacks any grading plans. The amount of grading
to traverse the deep drainage swale will be considerable. The roadway slopes are not indicated. At
2 to 1 slope, the grading will result in the removal of many more trees than indicated in the Initial
Planning Commission Resolution 2002-0064
November 5, 2002

ECAP Review
Study. The amount of trees to be removed cannot be determined until after the grading design is
completed.
In addition, the lowland area of the property is a wide swale that floods periodically from the
drainage waters from the developed area west of Traffic Way. This swale contains sediments from
upland erosion. It is recommended that no development be permitted in the swale and that the
swale be designed as a large sediment basin to continue to capture future sediments. This will help
to address the high sediment problems in the Salinas River.
REVISED SUMMARY OF OUR CONCLUSIONS:
1. 'nom fficient to determine the exact number of trees to oved. Grading
plans need to be submitted for the propose roadways and possible future building sites.
2. The site drainage should address the increased runoff to the Salinas River. It is
recommended that the drainage Swale be designed as large sediment basin to trap sediments
and prevent them from entering the Salinas River. The swale periodically floods during the
winter. This swale could be a tremendous resource as a wetland area adjacent to the River.
3. The proposed removal of Sycamores, oaks and cottonwoods should be considered to be a
significant environmental affect. The site layout, if redesigned for cluster of homes, could
mitigate this significant environmental affect.
4. The project should include a provision for a pedestrian trail along the Salinas River. The
River is an amenity that should be better utilized by the City.
Again, I hope that our comments are helpful. We would be happy to review the grading, drainage,
tree protection and erosion control plans.

Re: Riverbed Development, Atascadero
This report is in regards to the Oak Trees bordering the existing road through the
Riverbed Development. After reviewing the site, fifteen Oak Trees will have impacts
varying from slight to recommending removal. The trees are labeled on the
accompanying map in an East to West direction. A large proportion of the trees require
"road clearance" which unless otherwise specified will require a maximum of 5-10%
canopy removal for vehicular traffic. The height above road level should be 16 feet. All
pruning activities should be supervised by a trained arborist. "Dbh" referred to below is
the diameter at breast height. Two trees will require retaining walls that should be
constructed according to the following mitigation measures:
1) Trenching operations should be either hand dug or performed by an
experienced backhoe operator.
2) All roots encountered larger than one inch in diameter should be cut with
sharp tools.
3) The footing should be re -buried as soon as practically possible.
Trees
1) 24" Live Oak - Road Clearance
2) 36" Live Oak - Road Clearance
3) 24" Live Oak - Road Clearance
4) 48" Live Oak - Road Clearance
5) 28" Live Oak - Road Clearance
6) 14" Live Oak - Removal is recommended for this tree due to its proximity
to the roadway.
7) 60" Live Oak - Road Clearance
8) 72" Live Oak - Road Clearance
9) 40" Live Oak - Road Clearance
10) 11" Live Oak - This tree requires a retaining wall at approximately 8 feet
out from the main stem so the soil level can be returned to its original
grade.
11) 8" Live Oak - A retaining wall should be constructed to return soil level to
its original grade.
12) 28" Live Oak - Road Clearance

EXHIBIT D: Arborist Report page 2
CUP 2002-0067: PD -16-2 Master Plan of Development
13) 50" White Oak - This particular tree has an extremely poor crotch between
its two dominant stems. Failure is highly probable. Removal is
recommended.
14) 48" White Oak - Road Clearance
15) 42" White Oak - Road Clearance
All trees, except the removals, should be protected with construction fencing at
the edge of the roadway. Excess fill should not be placed under the drip line of any tree.
Drip line areas should not be used as a storage site nor should heavy machinery be
operated there. All contractors working in this vicinity should sign off on this arborist
report along with the plans identifying the trees.

Re: Riverbed Development, Atascadero
This report is in regards to the Oak Trees bordering the existing road through the
Riverbed Development. After reviewing the site, fifteen Oak Trees will have impacts
varying from slight to recommending removal. The trees are labeled on the
accompanying map in an East to West direction. A large proportion of the trees require
"road clearance" which unless otherwise specified will require a maximum of 5-10%
canopy removal for vehicular traffic. The height above road level should be 16 feet. All
pruning activities should be supervised by a trained arborist. "Dbh" referred to below is
the diameter at breast height. Two trees will require retaining walls that should be
constructed according to the following mitigation measures:
1) Trenching operations should be either hand dug or performed by an
experienced backhoe operator.
2) All roots encountered larger than one inch in diameter should be cut with
sharp tools.
3) The footing should be re -buried as soon as practically possible.
Trees
1) 24" Live Oak - Road Clearance
2) 36" Live Oak - Road Clearance
3) 24" Live Oak - Road Clearance
4) 48" Live Oak - Road Clearance
5) 28" Live Oak - Road Clearance
6) 14" Live Oak - Removal is recommended for this tree due to its proximity
to the roadway.
7) 60" Live Oak - Road Clearance
8) 72" Live Oak - Road Clearance
9) 40" Live Oak - Road Clearance
10) 11" Live Oak - This tree requires a retaining wall at approximately 8 feet
out from the main stem so the soil level can be returned to its original
grade.
11) 8" Live Oak - A retaining wall should be constructed to return soil level to
its original grade.
12) 28" Live Oak - Road Clearance
Planning Commission Resolution 2002-0067
November 5, 2002
Page 13 of 26
EXHIBIT C: Arborist Report page 2
TTM 2002-0014
13) 50" White Oak - This particular tree has an extremely poor crotch between
its two dominant stems. Failure is highly probable. Removal is
recommended.
14) 48" White Oak - Road Clearance
15) 42" White Oak - Road Clearance
All trees, except the removals, should be protected with construction fencing at
the edge of the roadway. Excess fill should not be placed under the drip line of any tree.
Drip line areas should not be used as a storage site nor should heavy machinery be
operated there. All contractors working in this vicinity should sign off on this arborist
report along with the plans identifying the trees.
Sincerely,
XJ

Step 2. Start pumping at a rate of 10 GPM, or more,
until a 3 -day minimum yield is pumped from the well, or
until the well is "pumped dry".*
* 'Pumped Dry" is the point at which the pump starts
pumping air, thus reducing the pumping rate.
If a 3 -day yield is obtained without "pumping dry" skip to
Step 5.
If the well is "pumped dry" continue to Step 3.
Step 3. Record the time at which the well is "pumped
dry" and the new pumping rate at which the pump
continues to operate.
Step 4. Continue pumping and record the pumping rate
at one hour intervals commencing at the time in Step 3,
until the same reduced pumping rate is obtained on 3
consecutive hours.
If the 3 consecutive hourly readings are less than the
minimum yield required, the yield is inadequate.
If the 3 consecutive hourly readings are equal to or
greater than the minimum allowable yield and a 3 -day
yield was pumped from the well, continue to Step 5.
If the consecutive hourly readings are equal to or greater
than the minimum allowable yield, but a 3 -day yield was
not pumped from the well, continue pumping until this
total 3 -day yield is obtained, then continue to Step 5.
Step 5. End pumping and record the time and the
elevation of the water level at the completion of
pumping.
Step 6. 72 hours after the time recorded in Step 5,
measure and record the water level in the well.
a. If the is a 100% recovery of the initial water level at
72 -hour measurement, the well yield is adequate.
b. If the above recovery is not obtained for the well, this
yield is inadequate.
c. Test Results - The results of the yield tests shall be
recorded on the forms provided by the "Health Officer."
All applicable blanks on the forms shall be filled out.
The yield of a gravity fed source shall be the lowest of
