lane. He suggested this item be carried over to the next meeting so the neighborhood
can study the proposed improvements.
Eric Greening questioned traffic routes and usage, and asked about drainage proposals
to prevent runoff of oil from motor vehicles going directly into the wetland.
Brian Mall stated he takes this turn every day and is concerned that just an increase of
shoulder will not be adequate. He would like to see a better intersection design.
Mitch Paskin explained that the population of Oak Ridge Estates is not a young one and
as such will be an aging population that will need that right turn lane in the future.
Eric Greening recommended a wider alternative analysis regarding signalizing the
intersection. He was concerned with the developer putting the community on the hook
for unanticipated environmental impacts.

Christine Rogers addressed issues raised during the Public Comment period. Ms.
Rogers answered questions of Council.
There was Council discussion regarding the safety of the proposed improvements,

compromise alternative or reassure the city that this is a safe
alternative.

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report — Public Works Department
Oak Ridge Estates (3-I= Meadows)
Intersection State Route 41 and Los Altos Road improvements
RECOMMENDATION:
Council find that the proposed improvements for the intersection of State Route 41
(Morro Road) and Los Altos Road meet the requirements of the Atascadero Municipal
Code.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
This agenda item is continued from the October 25t" City Council Meeting. At this
meeting, the staff report was given, public testimony was heard and the Council
discussed the item. The Council and public expressed concern that the widened
shoulder for right hand turns, in place of a right hand turn pocket, would not be
adequate for future increased traffic volumes. The Council requested that Caltrans
attend a future meeting to discuss this. Caltrans will attend this meeting to discuss the
issues and answer questions.
Analysis:
Oak Ridge Estates (also known as 3-F Meadows) is a 111 lot planned development on
the west side of Atascadero. The public improvements and homes for Phase 1 are
under construction. The developer, Castlerock Development, has also begun the work
on construction documents for Phases 2 thru 4.
The conditions for development for this project are listed in the Atascadero Municipal
Code section 9-3.656 "Establishment of Planned Development Overlay Zone No. 11:
(PD 11)". One of the conditions requires the construction of improvements at the
intersection of State Route 41 and Los Altos Road. The improvements consist of a left
turn lane, a right turn lane, a vehicle refuge lane, signage and sight distance
requirements. The conditions are listed in section 9-3.656 (c) (3) (v) thru (ix). These
improvements were required based on comments by Caltrans to the 3-F Meadows
Environmental Impact Report (See Attachment "A").
24
ITEM NUMBER: B 1
DATE: 11/22/05
The project Civil Engineer, R. Thompson Consulting, has begun the design of the
improvements to this intersection. Padre Associates has produced a Natural
Environmental Study (NES) for the area affected by the construction. The NES has
found that the construction of a right turn lane will have environmental impacts to the
south east corner of the intersection. The impacts are caused by the relocation of a
creek, removal of vegetation and loss of wetlands. (See Attachment B) The specific
impacts, according the NES, are:
• Loss of mixed willow series, a community of special concern
• Removal of 3 coast live oak trees and substantial encroachment on 4 coast live
oak trees
• Possible take of birds protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, as a result of
construction activities
• Temporary fill and permanent fill in waters of the U.S.
• Temporary fill and permanent fill in jurisdictional wetlands
• impacts to CDFG defined wetlands
The project Civil Engineer and environmental consultant looked for ways to reduce the
environmental impacts of the improvements, while complying with the conditions of
development listed in PD-11. They found that if they reduced the right turn lane into a
widened shoulder for right hand turns that the impacts were substantially reduced, as
follows (See Attachment C):
• Avoid the loss of mixed willow series, a community of special concern
• Reduce possible take of birds protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, as a
result of construction activities
• Reduce temporary fill and permanent fill in waters of the U.S.
• Avoid impacts to jurisdictional wetlands
The project Civil Engineer forwarded the two plans to Caltrans for their review and
comment. Caltrans responded as follows: "Although we initially indicated that a right
turn channelization was desired, upon further evaluation we have determined that
reconstructing the intersection to conform to the standard public road approach
intersection, as shown in figure 405.2 of the Caltrans Highway Design Manual, will
serve the traffic needs of this intersection while minimizing impacts to the creek." (See
Attachment D). The developer of Oak Ridge Estates, Castlerock Development, Has
requested that the improvement be constructed with a widened shoulder for right hand
turns.
Staff is looking for Council determination that the widened shoulder for right hand turns
will meet the intent of PD-11. Following is the text from the Atascadero Municipal Code
concerning the right hand turn requirement.
25
ITEM NUMBER: B - 1
DATE: 11/22/05
(ix) Designated right-turn lanes shall be constructed on State Highway 41 for westbound
traffic entering both Los Altos Road and the driveway serving Lots 109-112.
Improvement plans for the right-turn lanes shall be submitted,for review and approval by
Caltrans and the City Engineer prior to approval of the Master Development Plan.
The right-turn lane for Los Altos Road shall be constructed when the ADT on Los Altos
Road reaches five hundred (500) vehicles per day, with the development of the twenty-
seventh lot in Phase 1, or within three (3) years of the issuance of building permits for
Phase 1, whichever is earlier.
Conclusion:
Staff has visited the site, discussed the issue with Caltrans and recommends the
project be built with a widened shoulder for right hand turns. The original Caltrans
recommendation was made without the benefit of a field review, detailed site design or
Natural Environmental Study (See Attachment E).
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Do not find proposed improvements for the intersection of State Route 41 (Morro
Road) and Los Altos Road meet the intent of the requirements of the Atascadero
Municipal Code. The developer would be required to construct the improvements
with a right hand turn pocket. This would have increased environmental impacts.
2. Continue the item for more information or revised project design.

Previously requested. One set of plans included right turn o 'mPrOvement plans as we

In comparing and evaluating the two plan sets, as well as reviewing
impacts inventory you provided, we have concluded that construe b e environmental
channelization would require extensive realignment ting the right turn
the vegetation within the creek area. Furthermore, we reco nize

technical infeasibility of realianina g the difficulty and
and right g g the creek to the north due to environmental impacts

Although we initially indicated that ritr
upon further evaluation we have determit turn ned that reconstructing
at this location was desired,
