Recommend approval of $4,000 from Contingency Reserve to Building Maintenance Account #01-44-2160. RALPH H. DOWELL, JR. RHD:ad • M E M O R A N D U M • TO: Ralph Dowell , Finance Director FROM: Mike Hicks, Fire Chief SUBJECT: Emergency Roof Repair Due to normal wear, along with an excessively harsh winter, the roof on the City Fire Station Building has developed several severe leaks . We have attempted to patch these leaks with little success. I had hoped that we would be able to wait until FY 83/84 to make necessary repair, however, it has gotten worse with each storm and the roof leaks are starting to cause interior damage. I feel , that we should re-roof the building as soon as pos- sible in order to avoid any additional damage. The estimates I have received, thus far, are around $4 ,000 .00 for a twenty year guarantee composition shingle roof. I recommend that $4 ,000 .00 be transferred from Contingency Reserves into Building Maintenance Account #01-44-2160 in order for these repairs to be done immediately. a MIKE HICKS 4-15-83 MH:pj • Ab M E M O R A N D U M • TO: Murray Warden FROM: Public Works SUBJECT: Road Acceptance of Llano, Puerta, and Lomitas Roads. The above named roads were constructed as a requirement of a County parcel map CO 77-58, initiated by Glenn Millhollin. All three roads were completed while Atascadero was still a part of the County. County Engineering did the inspections and the as-built drawings were certified by the County Engineer. The roads were not accepted at that time due to the lack of an offer to dedicate. When the offers were finally recorded in January 1980, the City had incorporated and the project was caught between the two different agencies. Engineering became aware of the project and it's status after several phone requests from Glenn Millhollin's agent, Don Messer. We then conducted field inspections to insure that the roads were in acceptable condition; • which they were. Public Works is recommending that City Council accept Llano, Puerta, and Lomitas Roads for maintenance into the City road system. Following are the maps and legal descriptions of the limits of acceptance for each road. They are marked Exhibits A,B,C,D,E. (:: a)4�Q M , PATIENCE J.

Stewart) REQUEST: To allow waiver or modification of conditions on Tentative Parcel Map AT 820318 :1 (Garlick/Stewart) relating to con- struction of road improvements along the property frontage and back to the nearest improved section of Santa Cruz Road. On April 4, 1983 , the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the above-referenced subject unanimously recommending denial of the • road exception request based on Findings 1-2 as listed in the attached Staff Report. In discussion among the Commission, it was noted that the access to the property could be dangerous if a road was not provided and that potential development of other property in that area also pointed to the need for an adequate road. Elwood Garlick, applicant, appeared and spoke in support of the re- quest. He stated that constructing the roadway would necessitate the removal of several large trees and the hillside would lose its at- tractive nature due to the amount of cut and fill that would be necessary. No one else appeared on the matter. 4mit LAWRENCE STEVENS 14fJgRyk L.

Stewart) REQUEST: To allow waiver or modification of conditions on Tentative Parcel Map AT 820318 :1 (Garlick/Stewart) relating to con- struction of road improvements along the property frontage and back to the nearest improved section of Santa Cruz Road. BACKGROUND 1. Existing Zoning: A-1-BV-3-D(508) 2. General Plan: Suburban Single Family Residential • 3. Environmental Determination: The Planning Director has determined that the previously accepted Conditional Negative Declaration shall apply to this project. 4. Site Conditions: A 15 foot wide dirt road has been cut from the bank along the frontage and runs alongside the southerly bank of a creek which empties to the northeast onto a floodplain. The centerline of Santa Cruz Road generally straddles this creek bank. Numerous trees including oaks lie within the full right-of-way. The current road drops approximately 50 feet in elevation from the improved section to the current terminus at the northerly corner of the lot. The difference in elevation between the current road and the bottom of the creek varies from approximately 20 feet to an equal elevation at the northerly corner of the lot. 5. Project Description: The applicant is requesting that Conditions 14 and 15 of Tentative Parcel Map AT 820318 :1 be waived or modi- fied such that improvement of Santa Cruz Road would not be re- quired. The applicant states that field work indicated that a great amount of cut and fill would be required to construct the roadway to the standard asked for in the tentative approval. The cut would necessitate the removal of oak trees and create large scarring in the hillside. The fill would also require the removal of trees and encroach into the streambed that parallels the road- way. The applicant states that only five additional lots. would be • using the road (see, attached letter) . 0111, Re: Road Exception (Garlick Stewart P / Conditions #14 and #15 are as follows: • "14. Santa Cruz Road shall be constructed along the frontage of the property to City Standards including a minimum paved width of twenty (20) feet with three (3) feet of graded shoulder on each side of the paving prior to recordation of the Final Map. a. Improvements are to be constructed under an inspection agreement and encroachment permit issued by the Public Works Department. b. Improvement drawings, including improvements to control grading and erosion within the road right-of-way, shall be submitted to the Public Works Department for review and approval. 15 . Santa Cruz Road, between the subject property and the im- proved section of Santa Cruz Road, shall be improved with an all-weather surface. Said improvement is to be maintained by the property owner (s) . " STAFF COMMENTS On March 3 , 1983, the Subdivision Review Board composed of Fred Buss, Associate Planner, and Patience West, Senior Engineering Technician, met with the applicant' s engineer , Daniel Stewart. The following items of concern were discussed with regard to the exception request: 1. City policy on number of lots off private drives - potential buildout could be 5-9 additional lots. 2. Cost involved with improvement in protecting the stream. The City Engineer ' s response to the request for an exception (at- tached) indicates that the road improvement is feasible. Staff review of the site indicates that substantial improvements will be required to protect the creek and construct the road to the improved width. Staff' s main concern is the level of service that Santa Cruz Road may eventually provide. There are still six lots that may eventually take access from this portion of Santa Cruz Road not including the appli- cant' s two lots. Additionally, the two parcels (Lots 17 and 18 of Block 48) lying beyond the applicant' s parcel also have the ability to each be split which would add two additional lots to this total. In all, there is the potential of 10 single family residences using this particular unimproved section of Santa Cruz Road. The Institute of Transportation Engineers in its 1976 Trip Generation Report suggests that single family residences generate 10 trips per dwelling unit total each weekday. In this case, that could ultimately translate to 100 tripends per day on this road. For this reason and the fact that five lots constitute a tract, the City has always determined that no more than four lots should access off a road developed to to private drive standards. 2 *_ Re: Road Exception .'821124 :1 (Garlick/Stewar Section 21.48.135 of the Lot Division Ordinance (attached) specifies the requirements necessary to obtain an exception from the improvement requirements. Basically three criteria must be satisfied before the Subdivision Review Board can grant the exception: 1) That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting the property. 2) That the exception is necessary for the preservation and en- joyment of a substantial property right of the petitioner. 3) That the granting of the exception will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property in the vicinity in which the property is situated, and that it will not: a. Be detrimental to the traffic circulation system, the public utility and storm drainage systems; b. Result in any increase in the City maintenance costs; C. Be detrimental to, nor degrade, any portion or part of the improvement work involved in the project. As to item#1 above, the Subdivision Review Board concurs with the City Engineer in that there are special conditions affecting develop- ment of this road in light of the alignment next to the creeek. How- ever, the Subdivision Review Board cannot find any substantial proper- ty right of the petitioner that would necessitate an exception to preserve (item #2) . Nor does the Subdivision Review Board agree (by the previous discussion) that a lower level of improvement would not be detrimental to the traffic circulation system ( item #3a) . The Subdivision Review Board is concerned about the service level required of ten possible lots. The City' s maintenance costs would be increased negligibly if the road is constructed to City standards ( item #3b) . Granting the exception would not be detrimental nor degrade any por- tion or part of the improvement work involved in the project (item #3c) . Section 21.48.135c of the Lot Division Ordinance states: "The Subdi- vision Review Board shall not recommend approval of the exception re- quest unless it affirmatively finds that the evidence sustains the request regarding each of the issues set forth in subsection (b) thereof. " The Subdivision Review Board cannot affirmatively find evi- dence sustaining the request in all the issues. FINDINGS 1. The exception is not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the petitioner. 3 o. Re: Road Exception OP'821124 :1 Garlick StewarP ( / 2.

Our field work indicated that a great amount of cut and fill would be required to construct the roadway to the standard asked for in the tentative approval. The cut would necessitate the removal of oak trees and create large scarring in the hillside. The fill would also require the removal of trees and encroach into the streambed that parallels the roadway. The users of this roadway would be very limited since there are only 5 lots in addition to this one that could be developed. Please proceed with the processing and advise this office as to the amount of fees required to process this request so that I may contact my client for payment. Very truly yours , t; DANIEL J.

Section 3. This ordinance shall go into effect and be in full force and effect at 12 :01 a.m. on the thirty-first (31st) day after passage. The foregoing ordinance was introduced on and adopted on by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ROLFE NELSON, Mayor ATTEST: BARBARA NORRIS, City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: APPROVED AS TO CONTENT: ALLEN GRIMES, City Attorney U Y L. ARDEN, City Manager M • M E M O R A N D U M TO: Murray FROM: Larry McPherson SUBJECT: City-wide Road Maintenance Assessment District DATE: April 19, 1983 In response to Councilman Molina's request concerning information on the possible formation of a city-wide road maintenance assessment district, the following is supplied: 1- Starting with Section 5820 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Government Code allows cities the authority to levy assessments for street maintenance against the benefitting property owners. 2- There does not appear to be any obstruction in the Code to include all the City within such a district. However, it would seem advisable to schedule an assessment election once specific cost figures were available. 3- Current costs for major maintenance, such as asphalt overlays, is • around $45,000 per mile for local streets. With a gas tax revenue of $229,000 projected for next year, it is evident that less than five miles of road will be reconstructed, using these restricted funds. It should be pointed out that gas tax funds are also used for routine maintenance, such as patching potholes, further reducing the number of miles of renovation or reconstruction. 4- To keep the City streets in good condition, from 10 to 12 miles of renovation or reconstruction should be accomplished per year. This large amount is necessary due to the marginal integrity of existing improvements and the low level of maintenance over the years. With this schedule, all roads would receive major maintenance within a 10 year period. 5- A very preliminary estimate indicates that an annual assessment of from $15 to $20 per developed lot would raise an additional $400,000 per year, which would allow for the maintenance program mentioned above. Before venturing into such a program, it should be determined whether there should be different assessment levels for those living on City maintained roads as opposed to presently non-maintained roads. On residential property, it is probably reasonable to assess the fee only on developed lots, with the fee being the same for all lots within the same category, regardless of size. This can be justified by the amount of trips generated per residential lot. • City-wide MaintenanceWistrict page two On commercial, office, and industrial properties, it is probably reasonable to develop a per acre fee based on the type of use. Large trip generators would pay a higher fee. The purpose of the City-wide maintenance assessment district could be twofold. On one hand,it could generate adequate revenue to maintain at a higher level all city accepted streets. On the other hand ,it could generate adequate revenue to maintain and upgrade all public streets, whether accepted for City maintenance or not. If all public roads, accepted or not, are to be included within the district then it would be reasonable to have a higher level of assessment for properties accessed from non-accepted roads than those having frontage on maintained roads. If the Council wishes to pursue this issue, then staff could work up specific assessment figures based on the current status of developed properties. Another alternative exists for raising road maintenance dollars, however, it would need to be done on a County-wide basis. A local gas tax surcharge is allowed by consent of the County and local jurisdictions within the County. These funds return directly to the local agencies based on the gas tax formulas.

A�16 17 R- C • M E M O R A N D U M TO: CITY MANAGER April 20 , 1983 FROM: PLANNING DIRECTOR SUBJECT: Sand and Gravel Mining in the Salinas River - Sycamore Road Pit At the Council meeting on March 14 , 1983, complaints were made con- cerning the sand and gravel operation in the Salinas River by Donna Porter , resident on Sycamore Road. Staff was directed to review the matter and report back. It should be noted that this matter has been the subject of much con- troversy in the past. A nuisance abatement hearing was held by the County in 1976 . Area residents have frequently objected to the scope and manner of operation. Regulations affecting the operation of such uses have not always been clear and have not always been followed. • Furthermore, discerning the "facts" has been a difficult task. On July 19 , 1976 the County Board of Supervisors, after conducting a public hearing, determined that the sand and gravel mining operation being conducted on property owned by the Atascadero Mutual Water Com- pany was a nuisance. Certain conditions were imposed on the operation to reduce the nuisance to an acceptable level. These include: 1) the screening operation be moved to the Salinas River bed 2) the hours of operation be 7 :30 a.m. to 5 :00 p.m. on Monday through Friday 3) the operation be confined to the Salinas River bed 4) the nuisance (i.e. relocation of equipment, relocation from Atascadero Creek, securing of permits) be abated in 30 days by the Atascadero Mutual Water Company 5) the site be restored to the satisfaction of the County Plan- ning Department and State Fish and Game Department within 90 days It was also implied that all necessary permits be secured or main- tained, including Fish and Game and Air Pollution Control District. • Re: Sycamore Road Pit Testimony at that hearing yielded the following pertinent points about • the mining operation: 1) It was a nonconforming use since the L (Recreation) Zone at that time made no provisions for it. (While there was some discussion on the subject, no determination was made on the precise limits on activity by the use beyond the above-ref- erenced conditions. Typically, nonconforming uses are al- lowed to continue provided that they cannot expand and pro- vided that they are not conducted as a nuisance. ) 2) Early levels of activity of the mining operation varied quite a bit and, are not well-documented. Sand removal by strip- loaders apparently predated the 1942 County ordinances. The early operation was principally limited to the "stripping of river sand from the main channel. There are conflicting stories and no useful records on the volume of material re- moved up to around 1970. A "Grizzly-type" screening device was used to sift materials. 3) The level of activity in early 1976 resulted in numerous res- ident complaints, primarily due to late hours, dust, noise and potential flood damage. The establishment of a motorized screening plant (3 hp diesel with muffler) in April is noted. Apparently, holes as deep as 20 ' -30 ' were resulting and the heavy equipment activity increased. Also, the location of the operation (principally the screening plant) was moved closer to the residences. An AJ Excavating report reports the following volumes of material removal ( in addition to 25,000-30,000 cubic yards removed annually for use by the Water Company) : 1970 - 73,000 cu. yd. (mostly for sewer line installation) 1971 16 ,000 cu. yd. 1972 - 3,800 cu. yd. 1973 - 7 ,600 cu. yd. 1974 8,600 cu. yd. 1975 - 29,000 cu. yd. (plus 3,500 cu. yd. by County) 1976 - 23,000 cu. yd. (plus 5, 200 cu. yd. by County) (plus 5,000 cu. yd. by H.D. Peterson for Atascadero High School) It is reasonable to conclude that the 1976 events resulted in the mining operation "getting out of hand. " There are varying reports on the operation since that time and on apparent compliance with the established conditions. In 1981 City Staff reviewed this matter with other permitting agencies (Fish and Game, Corps of Engineers, Regional Water Quality Control Board) and no substantive concerns over the operation were raised. It is, however , also evident that at least some residents of the area have always been and remain dissatisfied with the nature and scope of the mining operation. • 2 Re: Sycamore Road Pit This matter is further complicated by legislative changes - princi- pally the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA) of 1975 and sub- sequent amendments to it. These standards are reflected in Section 22.81.010 et seq of the Zoning Ordinance. Existing surface mining operations are required to secure certification of a vested right and to secure approval of a reclamation plan. In July, 1981, A-Jay Trucking applied for certification of the vested right and for approval of a reclamation plan for the Sycamore Road Pit owned by the Atascadero Mutual Water Company. The application indi- cates an annual yield of 100,000 cu. yd./year and includes a detailed description of the method of operation. It appears that the applica- tion was amended to also include property owned by William Collins. No County action is indicated on the vested right certification, al- though it must be assumed that it was certified since the reclamation plan was approved as submitted (apparently with no conditions) by the County Planning Department on July 12, 1980. This approval of the reclamation plan probably is not valid since the County had no authority to grant approvals within the City limits after June 30 , 1980. It should be noted that some of the property affected by the vested right and reclamation plan is in the unincor- porated portions of the Salinas River and some is in the City. Prior to taking any action on this issue, some additional research should be conducted. The matter of the mining operation has surfaced again for a number of reasons, including: - the continuing dissatisfactions of area residents with the nature and scope of the nonconforming mining operation and with prior County determination on the matter - reported recent changes in the mining operation including a new operator ; a large, new sand-sifter ; increased stock-piling; and, change in location of the operation In reviewing the current status of the mining operation, the following additional points of information should be made: 1) The sand and gravel mining operation is conducted by Rocky Canyon Sand and Gravel rather than A-Jay although some of the principals (i.e. Bob Paver) are the same. (In any event, a nonconforming use can be transferred from one party to another. ) 2) A new sand-sifting machine was established in essentially the same location as the other piece of equipment. 3) Stock-piling occurs during winter months to provide material during times when the Salinas River is running, but the amount of stock-piling has probably varied considerably. Over the past couple of years, slower building has probably resulted in more material being stock-piled. 3 Re: Sycamore Road Pit 4) According to the Atascadero Mutual Water Company, there has been no change in the location of the equipment or operation. 5) Material removed from the premises in recent years probably does not exceed the 100 , 000 cubic yards in 1970. This is also shown as the maximum removal on the reclamation plan. 6) It appears that the property owner and operator are conduct- ing the sand and gravel mining operation in compliance with previously established conditions. As a result of information gathered to date, there does not appear to be any reason for the City to take any action on the complaints, unless it is felt that the use as operated, even when in compliance with the 1976 conditions and required permits, may be a nuisance. If information reviewed to date supports such a conclusion, then the City Council should direct Staff to set the matter for hearing under the nuisance provisions of the zoning ordinance. If, at such a hearing, it is determined that the sand and gravel mining operation is a nui- sance, then additional conditions intended to mitigate the nuisance could be imposed or the use could be abated. Of course, either the Atascadero Mutual Water Company or the operator could voluntarily alter the operation to mitigate concerns raised by the residents. FINDINGS 1. The existing sand and gravel mining operation in the Salinas River at the Sycamore Road Pit is a nonconforming use. 2. Operating conditions placed on the use in 1976 are being complied with. RECOMMENDATION Direct Planning Department to process the reclamation plan for the mining operation and to monitor the operation for continued compliance with previously established conditions.

C5 • M E M O R A N D U M TO: CITY MANAGER April 19, 1983 FROM: PLANNING DIRECTOR SUBJECT: Fees for Animal Permits to Fund Enforcement Costs At the meeting of April 11, 1983 City Council requested information on the above-referenced subject. As I understand it, the intent is to hire a parttime person (probably an intern) to process farm animal (i.e. horse, cow, pig, sheep, goat, etc. ) permits and to enforce com- plaints relating to farm animals. The estimated costs to fund such a program are as follows: PERSONNEL: Intern (15 hr/wk during school, 40 hr/wk during summer) - $5000 Clerical Assistant (est. - 2 hr/wk) - $875* • Associate Planner (est. - 2 hr/wk) _ $1250* Planning Director (est. - 2 hr/mo) $500* TOTAL - $7625** *These costs are already budgeted but are nevertheless costs of the program for typing, supervision, responding to people not satisfied with talking to an intern, etc. **Does not include cost of City Attorney for any court time and does not include cost of support services by other City Departments. SERVICES AND SUPPLIES: Transportation - $600 Supplies - $800 $1400 There may also be some capital costs for camera, office equipment, and similar items. There are probably also some start-up and train- ing costs which are not included here. Transportation costs antici- pate shared use of current City vehicles or payment ' of mileage for • personal vehicles. Re: Fees for Animal 'Permi is to Fund Enforcement Costs . It is difficult to estimate the number of permits that will be pro- cessed but with approximately 6000 single family residences, it can be • estimated that there would be 800-1000 permits. This would allow per- mits to be in the $15-20 range (allowing for some reasonable amount of overhead) . It should be noted that all of these figures are very rough and experience may eventually result in adjustments. This as- sumes one permit per residence regardless of the number of animals. If this was done as a licensing program on a per animal basis, these numbers would be altered quite a bit. (Note: Animal Control collects about $9000 in license fees at $6/$12, but some of their operating costs are defrayed by the City contribution. ) In discussing the permit program itself, the following should be considered: ADVANTAGES raises revenue to compensate for portion of enforcement program - can provide better enforcement response since one person dedi- cated to program (person is only parttime) - ease in determining violations since complaints can be checked against permits DISADVANTAGES - persons complying with law by securing permits pay the burden • for those who do not comply - strong resistance from organized groups seem likely (which may raise costs) - may be unnecessary regulation of situation since the extent of any problems is not well-established - sensitive enforcement area which may not be adequately handled by inexperienced intern (probably requires more supervision than anticipated) - parttime and transitory nature of intern positions can hurt program implementation and continuity - intern probably unable to perform full citation and court ap- pearance requirements, therefore, costs would be higher If such a program is to be favorably considered, it will be necessary to make modifications to the farm animal regulations in Chapter 6. In general, the disadvantages seem to outweigh the advantages at this time. Particular concern should be given to the need for such addi- tional regulation. In fact, during draft zoning ordinance hearings before the Planning Commission, there was some brief discussion of • such a permit procedure which was widely opposed. If the real desire is to increase response to enforcement requests, then Council should 2 Re: Fees for Anima Aermits to Fund Enforcement Costs change its priorities. In so doing it should be recognized that a zoning enforcement officer should be added to the Department (see Sup- plemental Listing in Draft Capital Improvement Plan) or that some existing Department responsibilities (i.e. zoning application process- ing, special studies, manning of public counter, etc. ) should be given less time so enforcement can be given more time. LAWRENCE STEVEN$ ,� R Y- L. -)WARDEN Planning Director Cit Mana er 3 _M E_M O_R A N_D_U M TO: City Council FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: San Luis Obispo-Atascadero bus service test DATE: April 21, 1983 The attached report provides the background for the Council to decide whether or not to support continuation of the San Luis Obispo Atascadero commute run beyond the current test period. Historically, the efforts by various government bodies to define reasonable need has been difficult and often times has been based upon the volume of voices heard at hearings as opposed to an evaluation of the total number of people actually being served. In the present in- stance, we have arrived at a point where many of the governing bodies, in particular the. City of Atascadero, will have to determine whether continued expansion of the transit systems within the County is justi- fied and, indeed, whether some of those presently operating should be continued. It is particularly enlightening to see the weight of ef- fort of various agencies in the use of SB 325 money for transportation • County-wide. Attachment #7 illustrates rather dramatically that three agencies in the entire County now spend over 70% of their transit funds for transportation, leaving the majority using 60% or better for street and road maintenance purposes. It seems particularly notable that the County only uses 25% of their available funds for transit purposes along with Arroyo Grande at 23% and Paso Robles at 25%. A conclusion can be reached, therefore, that only three out of eight agencies within the County are fulfilling the priorities of the Trans- portation Act. Certainly this indicates a disproportionate effort. It also indicates that any COG attempts to force transit expansion on already fully participating agencies is inequitable at best. In the case of the Atascadero-San Luis Obispo run, the one year test period only involved, on average, 21.78 passengers per day. As- suming that these are commute runs, that means approximately eleven people each way actually used the system. The question then arises, is this number sufficient to justify continuation of a subsidized bus system? It is the judgment of Staff that it does not. Applying the test of the six criteria of Attachment #2, all of which must be met, it is difficult to see how a conclusion can be reached that the San Luis Obispo-Atascadero route is a reasonable way of meeting commute transit needs. Indeed, it is even questionable, applying the criteria of Attachment #1, that an unmet transit need really exists when considering the number of persons involved. The • one criteria which is often used as justification for a system is the fare box return, but ignores the fact that fare box returns can be reflective of a high or low rate as well as usage. A few people pay- ing a high fare could cause one to conclude that a system was a suc- San Luis Obispo-Atasladero bus service test cess when only a limited number of persons were, in fact, riding the • system. It should also be noted that the State Transportation Agencl only uses the 10% fare box return as a criteria for authorizing re- ceipt of SB 325 funds. Attachment #2 also requires that transit be feasible within the limits of transit funds available to the Area Council. With this cri- teria, one could argue that if transit only requires half of the available funds, the other half should be available for use for street or road repairs and this argument is, indeed, consistent with the in- tent of the Act. Paragraph c of Attachment #2 would not seem to be met judging by the ridership during the test period. Paragraph d of Attachment#2 also would not appear to have been met during the test period if you don' t approve of Atascadero funding and support of the system. Paragraph e of Attachment #2 only refers to assuring that equip- ment is readily available in the marketplace. Paragraph f raises a question as to the timing and fairness in serving an average passenger need of 21. 78. In considering the ridership statistics for this system, it should be noted that they were compiled over a twelve month period including vacation, weather variations and other annual influences on the use of transit. Much has been said about the increased ridership of February and March, but no adequate explanation has been given to the increase and one could reasonably conclude that those increases were due to the inclement weather of those periods. Basic to consideration of continuation of the system is whether the local entity has any control over expenditure of its SB 325 monies as well as of its general fund monies. Due to a variety of reasons, some of which are increased costs for Dial-A-Ride and others of which are increases in our share of the costs for the handicapped system, Fiscal Year 1983-84 will see Atascadero devoting 93% of its SB 325 monies to transportation. This will leave a balance of roughly $13,500 for road repair as opposed to a Fiscal Year 1982-83 amount of $56,500. Therefore, any requirements that Atascadero fund the route between here and San Luis Obispo will necessarily come from the $13 ,500 . It could mean that we would be using our General Fund for transit support since 100% of the SB 325 monies may well be gone. Certainly our street program will be affected. Additionally, consid- eration must be given to any attempt by the COG or other agencies to impose upon another an expenditure which might not be acceptable to that entity. It is noteworthy that our attempts to define the propor- tionate share of costs between San Luis Obispo-Atascadero and the County revealed a fundamental problem in defining responsibility and benefits. • 2 San Luis Obispo-Atascadero bus service test Now may be the time to re-examine the whole issue of transit and its funding throughout the County. The inequities in effort are ob- vious when examining Attachment #7. If, indeed, there are County-wide transit needs including those within incorporated areas, then all agencies perhaps should pool their money, meet those transit needs on a County-wide basis and then appropriate the rest of the money for road purposes on a per capita basis. Obviously, the City of Atasca- dero would benefit from this formula. The County and other low trans- it committed agencies would suffer. Again, Attachment #7 is the clue. Based upon the foregoing, it is my recommendation that the Council oppose continuation of the San Luis ' Obispo-Atascadero commute run for the reasons of lack of significant ridership, that Greyhound offers a service, that the system is not reasonable in terms of the dependence upon overall transit and General Fund impacts and in weight of effort in providing transit services, and that Atascadero is already doing its full share of meeting the goals of the Transportation Act. If, however, the Council should not wishto oppose the commute run, then you should instruct Staff to work out an equitable cost sharing formula with the City of San Luis Obispo and the County and at the same time to consider operation of the system outside the North Coastal Transit Board Authority. jURRA L. WARDEN MLW:ad 3 i • _M E_M O_R A_N_D_U_M_ TO: City Manager FROM: Finance Director/Public Works Director SUBJECT: Recommendation re: San Luis Obispo-Atascadero Commute System DATE: April 19, 1983 On March 31, 1983, the twelve-month test period for the San Luis Obispo-Atascadero bus service was completed. The test consisted of a morning and evening commute run and a noon-time run between Atascadero and San Luis Obispo via Santa Margarita and Cal Poly campus. The North Coastal Transit Board (NCTB) , a joint powers agency consisting of San Luis Obispo, the Cities of Atascadero, Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo, and Cuesta College, was the monitoring agency of this test. Funding was provided by State Transit Agency with $60,000 STA funds made available for the twelve-month period. The first action accomplished by the NCTB towards evaluating the results of the test was to eliminate the noon-time run due to lack of ridership. It was determined by the Board that the commute run should continue after March 31, 1983 subject to continued STA funding from the Area Council. This was agreed to by the Area Council with opera- tion scheduled to continue until their next meeting, May 5, 1983, or until STA funds are exhausted. The NCTB then appointed a sub-committee to propose payment formu- las) between Atascadero, San Luis Obispo and the County of San Luis Obispo to determine methods of splitting the cost between the partici- pants. This sub-committee was unable to devise any suggested method of payment that was agreeable to all participants. On March 23, 1983 , the NCTB, after extensive discussion, passed the following motion on a 4 to 1 vote with the City of San Luis Obispo dissenting: "The NCT Board recommends, based on the extensive test of the past year, that the need for transit service between San Luis Obispo and Atascadero can be met by the existing Greyhound bus system, and there is no need for an additional transit system during commute hours. " Pertinent data that was used as reference material during the meeting is attached for your information: 1. Adopted Policy - Unmet Transit Needs Defined San Luis Obispo-Atascadero Commute System 2. Adopted Policy. - Unmet Transit Needs that are Reasonable to Meet 3. Ridership Statistics for Test Period 4. NCTB Analysis 7/1/82 through 2/28/83 5. Commute Run Performance Measures - Test Period 6. Greyhound Bus Schedule 7 . Revised Fiscal Year 1982-83 Allocation You will note that the ridership during the test period varied from a high of 31. 84 passengers per day in March 1983 to a low of 17 in August 1982. The twelve (12) month average was 21.78 passengers per day with an average of 28.40 for January through March 1983. The majority of the Board felt that this activity did not meet the Adopted Policy of Unmet Transit Needs that are Reasonable to Meet as reflected in the six (6) specific definitions approved by the Area Council (At- tachment 2 above) . On March 31, 1983 , A Report to the San Luis Obispo County and Cities Area Planning and Coordinating Council was released by the NCTB Staff Assistant. Subsequent to release, it was determined that such report was not reflective of a majority on the Board. A special meet- ing was called by Chairman William Coy on April 14 , 1983. After ex- tensive discussion, it was determined that the report was lacking in reference to the entire test period, specifically the Overall Findings and Conclusions and Performance During the Test Period on page 3, which required the addition of the total test data with certain report changes. The staff agency responsible for report prepration was di- rected to modify the report by a majority vote and to have such accom- plished prior to the Area Planning meeting on May 5, 1982. On April 15, 1983 , the Technical Transportation Advisory Committee (TTAC) voted concurrence with the recommendation of the NCTB on a vote of 4 to 1 with San Luis Obispo dissenting. The Area Planning Staff has recommended that the test be continued for an additional year and be "considered a success if the service carries an average of 40 pas sengers/day and obtains a recovery farebox rate of 45%." It should be noted that during the past test, 31. 84 passengers per day was the highest during March 1983 with a farebox ratio of 54%. TTAC also sug- gested that a strong effort be made to satisfy the current rider de- mand by ride-sharing or van-pooling. There is a ride-sharing coordin- ator in the County Engineer ' s office. The estimated annual cost of operating this system, once the State Transportation funds are expended, could vary between $25, 000 and $30 , 000 minus a farebox of $6,000 to $15 ,000 based upon ridership. This cost would be split by some unknown formula between the three (3) participants. Our allocation of SB 325 money has been reduced from $261,930 for Fiscal Year 1982-83 to $205,420 for Fiscal Year 1983-84. 2 San Luis Obis o-A p to cadero Commute System Our estimated expenditure for Fiscal Year 1983-84 is $176,000 for Dial-A-Ride and $15 ,000 for our share of the County-wide handicapped system for a total of $191,600.

To date, many of the questions, as well as a few "letters to the editor" , relate to the killing of domestic animals by firearms. It is estimated that the police department receives an average of 4 to 5 complaints per month of "shots fired, circumstances unknown" in varying locations of our incorporated city limits. Typically, officers responding to these types of reports are unable to locate the responsible parties, in which case, of course, no action may be taken. Occasionally, in- vestigating officers locate persons who are "target practicing" , shooting squirrels, etc. In these cases, citizens are admonished about restrictions relative to safe distances from streets and buildings in keeping with existing statutes. We, as a City, are entitled to enact ordinances which restrict the use of firearms and dangerous weapons as deemed appropriate. The following factors suggest to me a need for a firearms restriction ordinance: 1. Widespread growth - increasing number of residential units being built. 2. The hilly topography and dense vegetation of our city are such that buildings and people are easily hidden from immediate view making the firing of weapons extremely hazardous. In order to insure there is no conflict with State Fish and Game laws, I discussed the proposed ordinance with Captain Kenneth Boettcher, Area Commander, Dept. of Fish and Game. The captain indicated that he felt the ordinance was appropriate and encouraged us to enact same as soon as possible for safety reasons. He further stated that rifles, in particular, are especially dangerous within incorporated cities. While I am not naive enough to believe that the passage of this ordinance will make our weapons-related problems • disappear, I feel that with the ordinance our officers will have the ability to more effectively deal with circumstances involving firearms. Recommend adoption of the ordinance as proposed. e---RICHARD H. McHALE RHM:sb ORDINANCE NO. 64 . AN ORDINANCE ADDING CHAPTER 3 TO TITLE 4 OF THE ATASCADERO MUNICIPAL CODE ENTITLED DISCHARGE OF FIREARMS AND DANGEROUS WEAPONS The Atascadero City Council ordains as follows: Section 1. Chapter 3 of Title 4 of the Atascadero Municipal Code is added as follows: Chapter 3. Discharge of Firearms and Dangerous Weapons 4-3.101. Definitions. As used in this chapter, unless the context clearly requires a different meaning, the following words are defined as indicated below: (A) Firearm Defined. Any device designed to be used as a weapon from which is expelled a projectile by the force of any explosion, or other form of combustion. (B) Dangerous Weapon Defined. Any device designed to be used as a weapon which is capable of expelling a solid projectile in excess of fifty feet. 4-3. 102. Exemptions: Protection of Life, Property; Predatory Animals. The provisions of this chapter shall not prohibit the discharge of appropriate firearms when necessary to protect a human life or to destroy or kill any predatory or dangerous animal while defending oneself or another person against an immediate threat of great bodily harm or as otherwise provided by law. 4-3. 103. Discharge of Firearms . It shall be a misdemeanor for any person to willfully discharge any firearm within the city limits except in shooting galleries and on pistol or rifle ranges, the locations of which have been approved by the Chief of Police, or as otherwise provided by law. 4-3. 104 . Misuse of Dangerous Weapons It shall be a misdemeanor for any person under the age of eighteen, and without the immediate supervision of a parent or guardian or an adult designated by the minor' s parent or guardian, to willfully fire or willfully discharge any weapon or device as defined in this chapter within the city limits. In no instance may such weapons be discharged by a minor within one hundred feet • of any building or livestock without the permission of the property owner. Section 2. The City Clerk shall cause this ordinance to be published once within fifteen (15) days after its passage in the Atascadero News, a newspaper of general circulation, printed, published and circulated in this City in accordance with Section 36933 of the Government Code; shall certify the adoption of this ordinance; and shall cause this ordinance and its certifica- tion to be entered in the Book of Ordinances of this City. Section 3. This ordinance shall go into effect and be in full force and effect at 12 :01 on the thirty-first day after passage. The foregoing ordinance was introduced on and adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council herd on AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ROLFE NELSON, Mayor ATTEST: BARBARA NORRIS, City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: ALLEN GRIMES, City Attorney APPROVED AS TO CONTENT: M RAY WARDEN, City Manager D3 • _M E_M 0_R A N_D U_M TO: City Council FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: Request from Boy Scouts for land to construct multi- purpose building DATE: April 21, 1983 Attached is a request from Mr. John Lamas requesting that City property be made available upon which a building could be built for all scouting activities. The cost of the building would be from Scout funds, but the land to be provided on a "for use" basis by the City. There is a problem in providing City land for private use involving the gift of public funds doctrine as to which there are court cases specifically to the point. Therefore, ability to meet Mr. Lamas' request is predicated upon any building using City property to being made available for general public use; a situation which may not satisfy Mr. Lamas' needs. But, if an arrangement could be reached satisfactory to the Boy Scouts and satisfying the legal requirements for use of • City property, then there is a potential for a no-cost building open to other as well as Boy Scout activities. Mr. Lamas' re- quest is for a location at or near the Lake Park. If not the Lake itself, then perhaps consideration could be given to the one of the lots on Lakeview Drive. If the Council is interested in pursuing this arrangement further, I can have further discussion with Mr. Lamas. If the Council is not, then I shall inform him of that fact. %UR L. WARDEN MLW:ad ' P.O. Box X Atascad� Ca. 93422 March 20;1983 Murray Warden RU 1J Fr_ , City Manager MAR 2 3 1983 City of Atascadero 6500 Palma .-- Atascadero, Ca. — — — — — — — — — Dear Mr. Warden: Thank you for the opportunity to discuss with you the matter of Boy Scout housing this morning by phone. As per your request, I submit the concept behind our conversation in writing for your further consideration and would appreciate anything you can do to facilitate this investigative effort. At present I believe we have three non-church sponsored Boy Scout troops and two if not three non-church sponsored Cub Scout packs in Atascadero. Additionally, there are to my knowlege, three other church sponsored groups housed by the church that sponsors them. The remaining five groups each find their own local sponsor (a business or private club) and each provide their own meeting facility. I recently gave up the cub mastership of Cub Pack 153 and followed my son into Boy Scout Troop 104 which is sponsored by KIQO radio. At any rate, while visiting one of the troop's administrative meetings, the troop committee indicated the need to change meeting locations because of the present proximity to a bar in the same building they meet in because of size. I agree with the move. I shared with them my opinions and ideas at the end of their meeting which included the following: 1. When I was young, the troop sponsor in Paso Robles owned the scout house and the • ground it was on which allowed a great deal of flexibility as we were able to practice tent set up, camping, etc. It worked very well and I highly recommended it. 2. I recommended that the local group of Boy Scout and Cub Scout organizations combine their efforts and seek to build a building out of concrete block which is both boy proof and fire proof on either their own land or perhaps city land which is my purpose in inquiring about the issue with you. The national and local Boy Scout councils have never been interested in property management for its obvious potential management from distance problems. Therefore, the local scouts would need a single non-profit benevalent entity to.hold either a building only or a building and lot in trust for them. In that way, as scout troops come and go which they do as do all groups, continuity would exist as far as meeting facility was concerned. 3. A block building with one larger main meeting room and two or three smaller side rooms for small patrol or dens to meet in, together with adequate private storage locker rooms (each with steel vandal proof doors) could be constructed which would insure that each unit could privately and separately use the facility and lock up any of their supplies maintained on site until the night or time of their meeting. All units could then maintain or hold a key for the use of the room and scheduling would have to be agreed upon among them but shouldn't be a problem for say five to eight units over the span of a month's meeting time. Now my question to you is to ask if the city has any land within the city where the Boy Scouts, if possible could erect in a corner somewhere, such a building? Such land would, of course, need to contain sufficient area to meet parking requirements of zonir � contain some land for tent set up, and possibly minor overnight camp practice, and preferably it would be located within a bicycling proximity to the center of town allowing March 20, 1983 for boys from all sides Awn to have their meetings thelOday or night. I would very much appreciate you considering this conceptual request and look forward to hearing your reactions and suggestions at such time as you are able to reflect and respond on the matter. Very truly yours, hn Lamas 466-4898 2 ADMINISTRATION BUILDING POST OFFICE BOX 747 ATASCADERO, CALIFORNIA 93423 PHONE: (805) 466.8000 CITY COUNCIL CITY CLERK CITY TREASURER dv&;. adeiM& CITY MANAGER INCORPORATED JULY 2. 1979 FINANCE DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT FIRE DEPARTMENT RECREATION DEPARTMENT 6005 LEWIS AVENUE ATASCADERO, CALIFORNIA 93422 ...�» PHONE: (805) 466-2141 MEMORANDUM April 20, 1983 r To: Murray Warden, City Manager From: Allen Grimes, City Attorney a� Subject: Moratorium on Coin-Operated Game Machines and Arcades You have asked me to furnish you with an opinion relating to the legality of the use of a moratorium to close coin-operated game machines and arcades in the City for a period of 90 days while the Council causes a study to be made of the matter pursuant to Government Code S 65858. I have read the memorandum on this subject prepared by the Planning Director dated April 19, 1983, and wish to set forth my separate opinion on the matter by this memorandum rather than signing the memorandum of the Planning Director. I am of the opinion that if the Council were to include as a finding in its moratorium ordinance that the present conduct and use of video games and arcades appears to it to constitute a public nuisance, because it promotes truancy by the youth and detracts from school studies, chores, and work, and it further contributes to an unjustified expenditure of money as the cost of operating such machines, and the Council further finds that where such arcades or video games are in business in other cities, these governmental agencies experience difficulty in controlling the bicycles which are brought by the patrons and left on public sidewalks. Add to this the three findings con- tained in the draft ordinance. On the basis of such a finding of a public nuisance, I am of the opinion that such a defined moratorium ordinance could legally be sustained if challenged, even though it applies to arcades and video game establishments presently in use. I have observed that many governmental agencies, both in California and throughout the United States, have totally prohibited video games altogether under the police power within their jurisdictions. Obviously, such a prohi- bition would apply to games in operation at the time the prohibiting ordinance was established. MEMORANDUM: Murray Warden April 20, 1983 Page 2 The City's basis for legislating in this fashion is derived from the police power granted to cities by the California Constitution, which grants cities the power to regulate the police, health, safety, and welfare of its inhabi- tants. The constitutional provisions contained in Article 11, Section 7 of the Constitution gives to cities the power to make and enforce all local police, sanitary, and other ordinances and regulations which are not in con- flict, with general laws. In the remarks set forth above, my opinion is solely based on legalities and not whether such an ordinance is feasible, desirable, or justified. AG:fr cc: Larry Stevens, Planning Director Barbara Norris, City Clerk • R E C E I V E D APR 2 01983 M E M O R A N D U M ALLEN GRIMES TO: CITY MANAGER April 19, 1983 FROM: PLANNING DIRECTOR SUBJECT: Moratorium on coin-operated game machines and arcades. At their meeting on April 11 the Council directed preparation of an ordinance which would create a moratorium on game arcades. This is primarily in response to objections by nearby merchants to the estab- lishment of "Star Station 101" at 6105 El Camino Real. A business license was issued on April 11 to "Star Station 101" which was prev- iously located in the Adobe Plaza. An ordinance to establish such a moratorium on an urgency basis has been prepared for consideration. The ordinance, as drafted, would prohibit the establishment of any coin-operated game machines (regardless of number) within the City until the matter is studied. In considering the proposed ordinance, there are a number of factors to consider. Existing zoning Regulations: Arcades are not specifically listed as a permitted, Departmental Re- view, or Conditional use in any zoning district in the current ordi- nance. In addition, there is no definition of an arcade (i.e. by num- ber of machines, etc. ) . The Planning Department has continued a prev- ious County interpretation that arcades are similar to "bars" , "bowl- ing alleys" , "skating rinks" and "pool halls" and are allowable subject to the same approval procedure as those uses. The Planning Commission concurred with this interpretation in reviewing two arcades ("Star Station 101" Departmental Review in C-1-D and Del Vaglio Con- ditional Use Permit in L) . As a result, arcades are allowable in com- mercial zones as follows: C-1-N - permitted use less than 5000 sq. ft. of floor area and Departmental Review use greater than 5000 sq. ft. of floor area C-1-C - same as C-1-N C-1 - Departmental Review use C-2 - permitted use less than 10 ,000 sq. ft. of floor area and Departmental Review use greater than 10, 000 sq. ft. of floor area Moratorium on coin-o eratedg ame machines and arcades CH - Departmental Review use when in conjunction with planned development and specified principal uses CR - Departmental Review use L - Departmental Review use In addition, where coin-operated game machines are an accessory use due to number of machines, amount of floor area, method of signing, etc. , no approval was required. Draft Zoning Regulations: Arcades are included with a number of other uses ( i.e. card room, pool hall, dance hall, and gym) under the definition of "Amusement "Ser- vices" (Section 9-3.701-p. 3-54) . Arcades would be allowed as follows: CP - Conditional Use CR - Conditional Use CS - Conditional Use CT - Allowable Use L - Allowable Use LS - Conditional Use There are no special standards contained in Chapter 6 to evaluate these uses although Chapter 4 contains a new parking standard of one space for each 100 sq. ft. of floor area (currently 1/300 is used) . Business License Regulations: "Amusement parlors, penny arcades, playlands" are listed as a use which requires approval of the Police Chief (in addition to standard approvals by Planning and Finance Departments) prior to issuance of a business license. A background investigation is done on the applicant and any partners. The license would be issued unless the applicant is disqualified pursuant to Section 6.08.080. Additional Comments: At this time it is not pertinent to consider information on possible methods of regulation or possible standards for these game machines but rather to consider the adequacy of the existing regulation govern- ing such use. There is little question that existing regulations are inadequate since they fail to specifically mention the use leaving the issue open to interpretation. However, the adequacy issue is clouded by the Draft Zoning Ordinance now on the horizon. It would rely (when it be- comes effective) on the Conditional Use Permit as a regulatory device, except in the CT and L Zones. This seems to be the appropriate manner in which to regulate arcades but two issues remain: 2 Moratorium on coin- operated game machines and arcades 1) Is there a need to review these zoning districts relative to game arcades? 2) Is there a need for specific special standards for game arcades? The answers to these two questions will determine what further study if any is needed. A "no" reponse indicates either that a moratorium is not needed (cre- ating a possible risk until the Draft Zoning Ordinance takes effect) or that any moratorium could be rescinded in the adoption of the new zoning ordinance. A "yes" response indicates that a moratorium should be adopted and a study should be conducted of these issues. It does not seem to be meritorious to delay the Draft Zoning Ordinance and incorporate this concern in the upcoming Final Adoption Hearing. The most common practice is to allow existing businesses to remain in operation and treat them as nonconforming uses should the study result in standards or procedures with which the existing uses do not comply. Since Council expressed an interest in retroactivity of this morator- ium, the matter has been discussed with the City Attorney. Although there is no known case law directly related to application of mora- toriums to existing uses, the City Attorney is of the opinion that • such an action can be legally sustained if challenged. If this ap- proach is desired, consideration should be given to the practical effects of administering such an ordinance. The Planning Department does not have complete data on the number of businesses which have coin-operated game machines, but which are not separately licensed as arcades since they have been deemed accessory uses. A quick, but probably incomplete, field survey reveals the following: Sunshine Donuts - Plaza del -Camino - 5 Cheap Thrills - Plaza del Camino - 7 Plaza Twin Theaters - Plaza del Camino - 4 Shakey' s Pizza - Plaza del Camino - 3 Atascadero Bowl - El Camino Real - 7 Circle K Market - El Camino Real (near San - 2 Anselmo) Alibi Cafe - E1 Camino Real - 7 (in- cluding 3 pool tables) Cornet Stores - Williams Bros./Safeway Center - 5 Round Table Pizza - Williams Bros./Safeway Center - 4 Star Station 101 - Adobe Plaza - 37 (40 approved at 6105 El Camino Real) Circle K Market - Morro Road - 3 Jeff' s Plaza - Morro Road - 6 3 . Moratorium on coin-operated game machines and arcades There are probably another 10-20 businesses which have 1-3 coin- operated game machines. The administrative task to enforce a retro- active moratorium would vary depending on the manner of defining an arcade. In most of these cases, the game machines are both secondary and accessory in nature, but that does not always reduce its nuisance effects on adjacent commercial activity. In addition to these practical administrative considerations, concern must also be given to the effect on business which established game machines in good faith reliance on existing law. This introduces the equity issue. Furthermore, it should be pointed out that a retroact- ivity provision may invite legal costs by the City to defend its action. Moratorium Ordinance Alternatives: In considering actions relative to a moratorium on game machines or arcades, the following alternatives are available: 1. Enact a moratorium prohibiting any new coin-operated game machines regardless of number, in any business establishment as set forth in attached ordinance entitled Alternate #1. 2. Enact a moratorium prohibiting any new game arcades with four or more machines in any business establishment as set forth in at- tached ordinance entitled Alternate#2. 3. Enact a moratorium prohibiting continued operation of and new establishment of coin-operated game machines, regardless of num- ber, in any business establishment as set forth in attached ordi- nance entitled Alternate #3. 4. Enact a moratorium prohibiting continued operation of and new establishment of game arcades with four or more machines in any business as set forth in attached ordinance entitled Alternate #4. 5. No moratorium. aW-'vW AV40 LAWRENCE STEVENS, Planning Director ALLEN GRIMES, City Attorney MIUR�AY L.

(Deputy) City Clerk City of Atascadero, California �3 • _M E_M 0_R_A_N_D_U M TO: City Council FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: Status of Wastewater Collector Grant DATE: April 21, 1983 The attached report provides extensive background information on the wastewater collection system grant which was proposed to solve our collector system problems within the area in which the Regional Water Quality Control Board staff had proposed a mora- torium. We have been informed that the implementing regulations for the EPA grant disqualify the City because of a requirement that at least 2/3rds of the area had to be developed prior to October 19, 1972. Since most of the area was developed around 1975, or later, the Water Quality Control Board Executive Director ' s judg- ment appears to be supported by the regulations. However, be- cause of the objectives and goals of the EPA waste water grant program are to avoid health problems and to provide adequate sewer collector systems, it is felt that an appeal to the State and, subsequently, to the EPA, may have some chance of success. It is, therefore, recommended that you authorize Staff to proceed with such an appeal. *UY . WARDEN MLW:ad M E M O R A N D U M TO: Murray FROM: Larry McPherson SUBJECT: Status of Wastewater Collector Grant - Project No. C-06-2927 DATE: April 18, 1983 Attached is a report concerning the current status of the Wastewater Collection System Grant of which the City was previously notified. After a review of the individual areas that were to be sewered, the Executive Officer of the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board has notified the City that these areas do not qualify under the grant criterion that requires at least 2/3rds of the areas to have been developed prior to October 19, 1972. The bulk of the properties in the proposed service area were developed around 1975, with a number of lots stili undeveloped. It should be emphasized that the lots proposed to be served by the collector system effected by this grant are currently covered by a Cease and Desist Order of the Regional Board. This order was due to evident septic tank problems in the area and requires specific action by the City to correct, generally, five years from the completion of the new wastewater treatment plant. Failure by the City to correct these problems could result in a building moritorium in the areas covered by the Order. I concur with the attached report by Ms. Reynolds and agree that the Council order staff to file an appeal to the Executive Officer's decision. LAWRENCE McPHERSON LM:vh M E M O R A N D U M TO: Public Works Director FROM: Assistant Civil Engineer SUBJECT: Clean Water Grant Project #C-06-2927 DATE: April 8, 1983 The following is an outline as to the status of the Clean Water Grant Project #C-06-2927. Background March 1981 - A survey to delineate the scope of the septic systems problems by area in accordance with a wastewater construction grant re- quirement and in response to input by City staff was completed by San Luis Obispo County Health Department. Analysis revealed that some of the areas showing surfacing effluent and/or septic tank problems may be caused by surfacing or subsurface springs which adjoin or traverse disposal fields. It was on the opinion of that Division, that there exists a moderate on-site disposal system problem in those areas with the smaller parcel sizes, areas of excessive slopes, especially where there is spring activity. Based upon the survey findings, it was the Department's recommendation that the community sewerage system be expanded as rapidly as funding will allow. June 1981 - The California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Coast Region imposed the Cease and Desist Order #81-60 upon the Atascadero County Sanitation District and the City of Atascadero. October 1982 - The City of Atascadero received notification of project acceptance "collection system for unsevered area under Cease and Desist Order" on the FY 1983 priority list as a Class A priority. Nov. 8 1982 - A progress report as to the status of the Clean Water Grant Project #C-06-2927 was submitted to the California Water Quality Control Board Central Coast Region. Dec. 8 1982 - The Scope of Work for Facilities Planning was submitted to the California Regional Water Quality Control Board and the names on the A-95 Circulation list for review. Dec.30 1982 - A letter requesting advance funding was submitted to California Regional Water Quality Control Board. Feb.28 1982 - A requ* was submitted to California Ronal Water Quality Control Board for special consideration of Clean Water Grant Project #C-06-02927. After compiling information, it was det- ermined that this grant-funded project did not meet the req- uirement set forth by 40CFR 35.2116 which states: "If the pro- ject involves collection system work, such work shall be for a new cost-effective collection system in a municipality in existence on Oct.18, 1972, which has sufficient existing or planned capacity to adequately treat such collected wastewater and where the bulk (generally two thirds) of the expected flow (from existing plus future residential users) will be from the resident population on October 18, 1972." Therefore, a request for special consideration was submitted to California Regional Water Quality Control Board. March 1983 - A letter from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board was received stating that the City's request for special consideration cannot be granted. Applicability An appeal to this decision may be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency. In reference to Clean Water Grant Regulation, Subpart 1 Deviations 40CFR30.1000 it states that "The Director, Grants Administration Division, is authorized to approve deviations from substatutory requirements of this sub- chapter or grant related requirements of this Chapter when he determines that such deviations are essential to effect necessary grant actions or EPA objectives where special circumstances make such deviations in the best interest of the Government." The following is a list of goals, policies and recommendations stated by applicable State and Federal entities which relate to clean water grant programs: 1) The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended through December 1981 states: The objective of this Act is to restore and maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the Nation's Water. In order to achieve this objective it is hereby declared that, con- sistant with the provisions of this Act - a) it is the national policy that Federal financial assistance be provided to construct publicly owned waste treatment works; b) it is the national policy that areawide waste treatment management planning processes be developed and implemented to assure adequate control of sources of pollutants in each State. 2) Title 23, Regional Water Quality Control Board; Clean Water Grant Program states: The primary objective of the Clean Water Bond law and the purpose of the State Clean Water fund is to assist in the financing of treatment works necessary to prevent water pollution and thereby protect and promote the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the State. 3) Discussion from the meeting agenda of the State of California Regional Water Quality Control Board (Friday, June 12, 1981) which considered issuance of a Cease and Desist order against the Atascadero County Sanitation District states: "Evidence indicates that the existing water quality situation within the District's boundaries will worsen if wastewater treatment facilities are not expanded and areas with failing septic systems are not sewered. Proposed Cease and Desist Order No. 81-60 requires that the District and/or the City construct the needed treatment and sewer system expansion in accordance with a specified time schedule. Specific areas requiring sewers have been delineated in the proposed enforcement Order. The grant condition requires areas with failing septic systems to be sewered if grant monies are used to expand treatment capacity; adopting Cease and Desist Order No. 81-60 would insure that it will be done. Adoption of the order would also justify elevating the project on the priority list." A grant of deviation from the grant related requirement of 40CFR35.2116 would be in accord with ithe above stated State and Federal environmental goals, policies and recommendations; therefore, the City's appeal for a deviation would be justified. Also, it should_be noted that the regulation 40CFR35.2116 which states the 2/3 requirement was not stated in the Federal Clean Water Act and was decided upon arbitrarily after adoption of the Act. The attached regulation outlines the necessary steps for request for deviation. The attached maps illustrate the building dates of the lots in the grant funding area. I recommend that the City appeal the decision of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board and request for a deviation to the Director, Grants Administration Division.
