BACKGROUND: On October 17, 1989, the Planning Commission recommended approval of Zone Change 08-89, allowing the creation of a small lot subdivision through a Planned Development Overlay Zone (PD7) . On November 19, 1989, however, the City Council referred the matter back to the Planning Commission to review a revised site plan with additional outdoor space. On January 2, 1990, a revised plan was approved by the Planning Commission. This plan proposed • the demolition of both existing homes, thus allowing more freedom in site design and larger yard areas. The City Council approved • the revised plan and Ordinance 198 on January 23, 1990. In an effort to obtain construction permits while the Tract Map was being processed, the applicant submitted a Precise Plan application. Precise Plan 87-89 allowed the construction of six single family residences, without the creation of individual lots. The Precise Plan was approved on February 8, 1990 and became effective on March 1, 1990. Building permits are currently being reviewed. ANALYSIS: The proposed Tract Map conforms to the approved Planned Development Overlay Zone, in fact, it is the necessary conclusion to the Zone Change (PD) process. For this reason staff is now reviewing the PD and the resultant subdivision simultaneously in these types of projects. The Voorhis project at 7955 Sinaloa Ave. showed that this comprehensive approach is a better method to review and condition small lot subdivisions. The proposed lots range in size from 3,206 square feet to 4,775 square feet. This Tract Map carries out the master site plan adopted as part of Ordinance 198. The project has been thoroughly reviewed, with environmental review for the subdivision conducted as part of the PD, and a Negative Declaration adopted for the development plan during the Precise Plan. Drainage control is the major development concern that was not specifically resolved at the previous hearings. As the staff stated at the hearing on January 2nd, a grading/drainage plan is necessary component of the Tract Map application. Precise Plan Condition of Approval #3 required adequate methods to control off-site drainage impacts, either through off-site improvements or an on-site detention basin. As Exhibit B shows, the applicant' s engineer has proposed the detention basin method to retain the additional runoff on the site while not increasing the flow onto adjacent streets or properties. The Engineering Division has reviewed the drainage plan and determined that a detention basin will function as a drainage control device. Private agreements will cover detention basin maintenance. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed Tract Map fulfills the PD7 Overlay as adopted in Ordinance 198. The Zone Change has been reviewed, revised, and approved through the public hearing process. Drainage control has been incorporated within the environmental review and subsequent conditioning of this project.

EXHIBIT E REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL CITY OF ATASCADERO Agenda Item: B-4 Through: Ray Windsor, City Manager Meeting Date: 1!23/90 File No: ZC 08-89 From: Henry Engen, Community Development Directori{�, SUBJECT: Consideration of a revised request to establish a Planned Development Overlay Zone (PD7 ) to allow for the creation of a small lot residential subdivision. BACKGROUND: This matter was considered by the City Council on November 14 , 1989 and referred back to the Planning Commission for consideration of redesign. On January 2 , 1990, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on this subsequently revised application, and on a 7 : 0 vote, recommended approval of staff' s recommendation to approve the zone change as reflected in Ordinance No. 198 . There was discussion and public testimony as reflected in the attached minutes excerpt. RECOMMENDATION: 1 ) Waive reading of Ordinance No. 198 in full and approve by title only; and 2) Approve Ordinance No. 198 on first reading HE :Ds Attachments : Staff Report dated January 2 , 1990 Minutes Excerpt - January 2, 1990 Ordinance No. 198 CC: Bruce Jones Cuesta Engineering CITY OF ATASCADERO Item: B. 2 STAFF REPORT FOR: Planning Commission Meeting Date: January 2, 1990 BY: Doug Davidson, Associate Planner File No: ZC 08-89 SUBJECT: Consideration of a revised request to establish a Planned Development Overlay zone (PD7 ) to allow for the creation of a small lot residential subdivision. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Zone Change 08-89 based on the Findings for Approval contained in the attached Ordinance No. 198 (Exhibit C) . BACKGROUND: On October 17, 1989, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on Zone Change 08-89 and voted unanimously to approve the proposal. On November 14, 1989 , the City Council directed the item back to the Planning Commission to evaluate a revised plan with larger lot sizes and more recreational open space. The applicant has submitted a revised site plan which incorporates these concerns of the City Council (see attached letter and site plan) . ANALYSIS: The major change in this revised master plan is the demolition of the existing residence on proposed Parcel 3. While the existing residence on proposed Parcel 6 was originally planned for removal, the previous plan attempted to save the home on Parcel 3. With no existing structures to accomodate, the site has more freedom to provide open space and larger lot sizes. The smallest lot size under the revised master plan is 3, 200 square feet, as opposed to 2, 775 square feet under the original plan. The proposed lots are also more equal in size, ranging from 3, 200 to 4, 697 square feet, as opposed to 2 , 775 to 5, 070 square feet. Likewise, the open space provided is well in excess of the minimum standards required by the Zoning Ordinance. Staff agrees with the applicant that common open space is not appropriate in this type of development. One of the fundamental aspects of single family home ownership is private yard space. Common open space areas are intended for apartment, condominium, and mobile home developments. Finally, as stated in the previous report, the proposed modifications to the setback standards pose no P P problems to the staff. It is the PD Overlay and building orientation toward the private road, which triggers the setback modification. Otherwise, the building locations as proposed, maintain the required setbacks and conform to the make-up of the neighborhood. CONCLUSIONS: Staff supported this project in its original form. The elimination of the existing residence has allowed the site to provide larger, more uniform lots, with more open space. The small lot subdivision provides an opportunity for more affordable home ownership, while not exceeding the density standards of the General Plan.

On November 14, 1989 the same application was reviewed by the City Council and referred back to Planning Commission for your further review. Two of the Council Members were primarily concerned with adequate recreation area for the units. Suggestions were made for designation of a common play area and for elimination of one or two units toward that end. The basic intent of this PD proposal is to create a type of property division that will allow not only air space ownership, but for individ- ual ownership of structures and land as well . A major benefit of the PD subdivi- sion is the elimination of the "common" ownership and entanglements normally as- sociated with Condominiums. Therefore, a "common" play area is not appropriate for this PD proposal . The revised plan proposed the removal of both existing buildings and construction of 6 new units. Removal of the existing house provides better spacing between Units 1 , 2 & 3; and we have moved the access road, and Units 4, 5 & 6 for more equal spacing of buildings. The net results are seen in lot size and yard size. The minimum lot size was formerly 2775 S.F. and is now 3200 S.F. The smallest yard area was formerly 420 S.F. and is now 650 S.F. The useable yard areas are all more than twice the required 300 S.F. The balance of the Site Development Standards are outlined on the Revised PD Master- plan drawing. We continue to meet or exceed the RMF standards for this property, with minor changes requested for rear yard setbacks. We believe that the quality proposed for this project will meet with the approval of single and retired buyers as well as first-time buyers with young families. We respectfully request that you review this revised Masterplan and recommend, once again, that the City Council approve this project as a much-needed housing alternative for Atascadero.

ZONE CHANGE 8-89 : Application filed by Bruce Jones (Cuesta Engineering) to establish a Planned Development Overlay Zone (PD7 ) to allow for the creation of a small lot residential subdivision. Subject site is located at 7715/7745 Sinaloa Avenue. Mr. Davidson presented the staff report providing a back- ground on previous Commission and Council actions for the project. A revised site plan has been submitted which allows for larger lot sizes . Staff is recommending approval of the request. Commission Questions and discussion followed. Commissioner Luna commented on the Commission' s previous unanimous vote on this zone Change and subsequent Council action to refer th:, matter back to the Commission for a revised site plan to reflect larger lot sizes and more recreational open space. Commissioner Brasher questioned the proposed lot sizes , stating it was her understanding from the recent joint Council/Commission meeting that there was discussion MINUTES EXCERPT - PLANNING COMMISSION - JANUARY 2, 1990 concerning the setting of a minimum lot size for planned unit developments . Commissioner Hanauer commented that the purpose of the Planning Commission is to come to some kind of conclusions on those kinds of problems to help direct and lead the Council. He added that the applicant has come back with a superb solution to the problem. Commissioner Highland stated the basic problem is a contra- diction in what the Commission looks at and the opinions and viewpoints that have been voiced by the Council on minimum lot sizes for single family residential . At the same time, too many apartments are being built. A decision needs to be made in this regrard. He added he would rather see single familv dwellings in a planned development than see six apartments go in. Discussion followed. Deborah Hollowell with Cuesta Engineering, agent for the applicant, referenced the Young PD ion Santa Ysabel) in that there are differences between that project and the one proposed. she presented an overhead of ;thti� site plan and explained how the lot sizes were determined. Ms . Hollowell added that the revised plan is better than the original one and hoped the Council ' s concerns have beeIl addressed. She then responded to questions from the Commission. Bruce Jones, applicant, spoke in support of the project stating he has never attempted this type of project before . He was surprised at the Council ' s recommendation after the Commission had recommended approval. He spoke about the deteriorating character of the neighborhood and felt this project would benefit the neighborhood. Mr. Jones added the purpose of the project is to make it affordable. He then responded to questions from the Commission. In response to question from Commissioner Brasher, Mr. Jones explained that he intends to see the project through to com- pletion of the development. in response to question from Commissioner Luna, Mr. Jones explained why he chose 1700 square feet for the units and described the proposed amenities . The project is designed to be a piece of property that could reflect pride of owner- ship and be easily maintained. In response to further question, Mr. Jones stated he felt he may encounter difficulties with receiving approval from the Council, and added that he believes in the project. As a result of the project being referred back to the Commission, it gave him all opportunity to fine tune the site plan and felt this new plan was better. It is a question of econom- ics when it comes down to the number of lots which is MINUTES EXCERPT - PLANNING COMMISSION - JANUARY 2, 1990 feasible or desireable. Commissioner Hanauer expressed concern with the lengthy Processing of this application and felt the applicau'_- was going more than the extra mile on this project. Commissioner Lopez-Balbontin expressed concern with the density regarding the size of the units . Ms . Hollowell clarified that the residence is 1439 s . f. and the garage is 327 s . f. Commissioner Waage felt the project is basically a good one. This is a good trade-off between apartments and single family dwellings . Chairperson Lochridge echoed commissioner Waage' s comments adding he was glad the Commission was able to take a close look at the project. He stated he understands some of the Council ' s concerns and felt the applicant has made an attempt to address those concerns . He hoped the Commission will pass the project on a unanimous voter and that the Council will support this project as well . - MOTION: Made by Commissioner Highland and seconded by Collmissioner Brasher to strongly recommend that the City Council accept Zone Change 8-89r and strongly recommend that the Council adopt Ordinance No. 198 . There was further discussion concerning guarantees of allow- able densities . Mr. Decamp explained there are guarantees to restrict the densities through the commission' s approval and the Zoning ordinance. The motion carried 7 : 0 . C. INDIVIDUAL COMMENT 1.

ANALYSIS: The proposed project is six single family dwellings on a site currently comprised of two separate legal lots. The site contains two existing single family residences, one of which is to remain (lot 41) . With a site area of just over one acre (0 .513 acres) , a maximum of six two-bedroom units could be constructed under the Multiple Family Density standards of the' Zoning Ordinance. A project of this size would normally be processed as a Precise Plan application, however, this project i proposes the creation of individual small lots . With a minimum lot size of one-half acre in the RMF zones, small lot subdivisions require the establishment of a Planned Development Overlay Zone (PD) . The City has created an generic overlay zone of PD7 for small lot residential subdivisions . In addition to minimum lot size, the master plan of development (Exhibit C) proposes a modification to the required setbacks. Minimum Lot Size Standards The Zoning Ordinance and General Plan set a minimum lot size of one-half acre in multiple family zones. Residential Policy #6 of the General Plan (Page 57) allows smaller lot sizes "in conjunction with planned residential developments, provided that the overall density within the project is consistent with other density standards contained herein. " As stated above, the proposed density conforms to the density standards of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan. Twelve (12) two-bedroom units are the maximum allowed per acre on a level to gently sloping lot in the RMF/16 zone. Thus, the creation of the PD Overlay to allow a small lot subdivision is the key issue of the analysis . Planned Development Overlay Zone To implement the General Plan policy cited above, the Zoning Ordinance contains the purpose and required findings for PD zones . The purpose statement (Section 9-3. 641) reads as follows : "The Planned Development Overlay Zone identifies areas where development standards or processing requirements different from those established by the underlying zoning district are deemed necessary to promote orderly and harmonius development and to enhance the opportunity to best utilize special characteristics of an area. " To fulfill the purpose statement, the following four findings (Section 9-3. 644) must be made: 1 . Modification of development standards or processing requirements is warranted to promote orderly and harmonius development . 2 . Modification of development standards or processing requirements will enhance the opportunity to best utilize special characteristics of an area and will have a beneficial effect on the area. 3 . Benefits derived from the overlay zone cannot be reasonably achieved through existing development standards or processing requirements . 4 . The proposed plans offer certain redeeming features to compensate for the requested modifications. r The applicant' s development statement (Exhibit D) presents a valid argument for allowing smaller lot sizes. Although the lots are quite small (2, 775 to 5, 040 square feet) , the identical project could be approved under a Precise Plan, without the small lot subdivision. Staff agrees with the applicant that the ability to provide small lots for single family home ownership is a worthy benefit, particulary in the current climate of rising real estate values. A quick survey of local realtors indicates that the selling price of a typical single family home increased by an average of 30 percent within the last nine months ! One of the fundamental goals of the General Plan (Page 130) is "a desire to encourage residential projects to provide housing units affordable to persons with low and moderate incomes by offering developers either a density bonus or other bonus incentives. " In this case, the goal of providing more affordable housing cannot be achieved with a minimum lot size of one-half acre. Development Standards The applicant is also requesting a modification to the rear setback requirements . Again, it is the request for a PD Overlay that triggers the setback modification. If this were a typical multiple family project, the required rear setback (10 feet) , side setback (5 feet) , and setback between buildings (10 feet) are satisfied. The creation of individual lots, however, changes the building and parking orientation, and thus the required setbacks. The plot plan shows a five feet rear setback for Lots 1 and 2 of Block 41 and a nine feet and six feet rear setback for Lots 2 and 3 of block 40, respectively. The existing residence is nonconforming as to the required front setback along Sinaloa Ave and the 10 feet rear setback. Lastly, the proposed residence on Lot 3 of Block 40 does not meet the rear setback, but this can easily be modified. In general, the proposed modifications present no problems to the staff. The proposed setbacks maintain the character of the neighborhood, with the exception of parking in the front setback on Sinaloa Ave. Staff will condition the development plan to provide both required parking spaces outside the front 25 feet setback for the existing residence. The four smaller lots to the rear have met the required parking by providing one parking space for each lot less than 4, 000 square feet (Zoning Ordinance Section 9-4 .118 c 5) . Additional parking is provided to the front of these residences. The other development standards required by the Zoning Ordinance, including outdoor recreation, enclosed storage, and maximum percent coverage have been satisfied. CONCLUSIONS: Staff is confident that this site is suitable for the proposed development. The density of the project is consistent with the General Plan, while the creation of a small lot subdivision provides more opportunities for single family home ownership. Staff is recommending that the conceptual site plan (Exhibit C) be approved as part of the Ordinance (see draft in Exhibit E) . Minor modifications to the site plan will be necessary, such as the elimination of parking in the front- setback on Sinaloa Ave. The next step in the review process is the submittal of a tract map application in conformance with the PD to create the six lots. Drainage plans will be required as part of the map application with the necessary public improvements and access easements being conditions of the map.

The units will be t story, approximately I445 square-feet each, and will be served with individual utilities and a common driveway off of Sinaloa Avenue . Cu-- preliminary design meets all of t-he current site design standards for the RMF zone and been reviewed with favorable response by the Fire Department, Public Works Department , Atascadero Mutual Water Co. , and Wil-Mar Disposal . The preliminary plan has also been reviewed by Jack Brazeal , certified arborist , who has determined the design to be in, conformance with the Tree Ordinance. The units described in this plan could be built- as apartment units under the current RMF-16 zoning. Under the PD-7 type zone we are requesting, we could build the identical project with the added benefit of creating an individual lot for each unit . With housing prices continuing to increase faster than inflation, it is becoming more difficult for the entry level or lower income buyer to purchase a home. The only affordable housing options for these buyers are to rent, to purchase an older home , to purchase a condo, or to purchase a new home on a smaller lot. Apartment living offers no chance to build equity, and mortgage financing for condominiums is not always readily available. Condo ownership also comes with Homeowner Association fees that are tied to inflation and unpredictable insurance rates . The purchase of an older home is often complicated with hidden repair costs and inflated by the value of a large lot .

ZONE CHANGE 8-89 : Application i ed by Bruce Jones (Cuesta Engineering, agent) to request establishment of a Planned Develop- ment Overlay Zone (PD7) to allow for the creation of a small lot residential subdivision. Subject site is located at 7715/7745 Sinaloa Road. Mr. Davidson presented the staff report which focused on issues of minimum lot size standards, the Planned Development Overlay Zone and general development standards. Staff is recommending approval of the zone change request as outlined in the draft ordinance. Commission questions and discussion followed. Commissioner Hanauer commented that because of the various costs involved with developing this project, the homes would not fall under the low and moderate income level . Discussion ensued relative to the merits of developing a planned development rather than apartments or condominiums with the planned development overlay being the controlling factor in assuring uniformity in development of the individual lots. Deborah Hollowell, representing the applicant, spoke in support of the project stating that it is the applicant's intent to see the project through to completion, and explained that the site plan at this point is conceptual . It is hoped that this small lot subdivision will provide an alternative for ownership other than condominiums. PAGE FIVE Charles Harrington, Sinaloa resident, expressed concerns regarding on-street parking, reduced setbacks with regard-to adequate emergency vehicle access, and drainage. Bruce .;ones, applicant, spoke in support of the request and described the various project amenities . He addressed the criteria involved with the four findings necessary to fulfill the purpose statement and explained his intent to provide an alternate form of occupancy other than apartment rentals, condominiums, etc. In response to question from Commissioner Brasher, Mr. Jones stated there will be an additional parking space provided so there will be space for two vehicles on each lot at all times that are not on the street. He added that there will be no need for a dumpster or any onstreet trash pickup as the disposal company will go to each individual residence. In response to question from Commissioner Waage, Mr. Jones responded that he will be able to meet any appearance review guidelines imposed. Discussion continued relative to incorporating minimum lot sizes within the zoning ordinance. Commissioner Highland stated he prefers single family residences to apartments and would like to see more projects like this one developed. Commissioner Brasher concurred adding that this plan is well thought out. A single family mix in this area would enhance the neighborhood. There was continued discussion relative to assurances being made that this project is reviewed under the appearance review guidelines . MOTION: By Commissioner Highland, seconded by Commissioner Brasher to recommend approval of Zone Change 8- 89 subject to the Findings and draft ordinance contained in the staff report.

Doug Davidson presented the staff report and summarized a recent zone change approval in which a planned development overlay zone was established. Staff is recommending approval • subject to certain conditions . Commission questions and discussion followed. MINUTES EXCERPT - PLANNING COMMISSION - 5/1/90 Commissioner Waage expressed concern with the detention basin next to the sidewalk and asked who will be responsible for its maintenance. Gary Sims provided a description of a detention basin and its function and noted the applicant was given the option to either address the offsite drainage impacts or detain the water onsite. He added that detention basins are not the best solution but they are a viable option. Discussion followed. Deborah Hollowell with Cuesta Engineering, representing the applicant, explained why an on-site detention basin was chosen to mitigate the drainage. She suggested that the Commission pursue the idea of evaluating the construction cost of the basin and taking that amount and applying it towards the City' s development fee fund so that drainage work can be done on Pueblo. Ms. Hollowell requested amendments to conditions ##1 (water lines) and ##5 (public improvements) . In response to inquiry, Ms. Hollowell presented a drawing which showed proposed improvements relative to landscaping around the detention basin. Discussion continued pertaining to drainage problems in the • area and whether an immediate solution to the problem heeds to be sought and development fees which go towards mitigating overall City drainage problems which are separate from any fees imposed for this particular project. Commissioner Waage stated his concern for possible hazards related to the detention basin. Bruce Jones, applicant, stated he appreciates the Commissioners' comments with respect to the drainage basin as he felt it to be a poor solution to an ongoing problem in the City, and noted he feels his project is being penalized because this problem has not been addressed. He summarized the background since he first initiated the project 11 months ago and felt this is a late date for the drainage basin to be an issue as the drainage problem has been on Sinaloa for years . He requested that the basin requirement be deleted. Mr. Jones stated he did not feel it fair for him to solve the incremental problem of his drainage run-off as no one else has been asked to do that. Mr. Jones noted that during the project' s process, it has been his intent to pass on the land savings to the buyers of the homes . With regard to the affordability aspect, the drainage contributes to the cost, but he added he would be happy to contribute his fair share to the drainage problems on Sinaloa.

MINUTES EXCERPT - PLANNING COMMISSION - 5/1/90 Lon Allan, 5625 Capistrano, indicated that he has observed, through his attendance at many hearings of various bodies, the issue of detention basins . He spoke about two locations where these basins exist noting that aesthetically, they are not as bad as they may seem. Whitey Thorpe, 8025 Santa Ynez, stated that affordable housing will be achieved by allowing people to build houses in a decent fashion, and added that something is wrong if an individual cannot obtain a permit within 11 months . Commissioner Waage commented that he would like to see an alternative for the retention basin and a possible solution for the drainage along Sinaloa. Commissioner Luna stated he would be open to another option with regard to the drainage but believed that this project needs to mitigate its own impacts . In response to question, Mr. Sims explained the problems associated with doing piecemeal drainage mitigation along the street. He added that with all the current projects which have been reviewed along Sinaloa, methods are being addressed as to how to get the water onto E1 Camino Real . Commissioner Highland expressed his frustration with regard to the difficulty in making a decision on this project when information is vague as to what other types of off-site mitigation improvements which could be made. Discussion followed. Commissioner Waage stated that he would rather see off-site improvements than the retention basin. Chairperson Lochridge stated he would like to see the project move forward in a timely manner with regard to resolving the drainage issues. Deborah Hollowell expressed frustrations with the Engineering Department' s vagueness in helping to address what needed to be done to resolve the drainage for this project. She indicated that the applicant would be willing to address protecting properties immediately across the street and would like the project approved with the alternative of either off- site mitigation or the detention basin. Mr. DeCamp suggested the drainage plans should be redesigned to prevent a precipitous drop from the back of the sidewalk but felt in this case, an on-site detention basin would serve the project well. Mr. Sims stated that the plans presented this evening are conceptual in nature and final improvement plans will be reviewed in order to prevent the creation of any liability situations . MINUTES EXCERPT -PLANNING COMMISSION - 5/1/90 chairperson Lochridge conveyed commissioner Brasher' s concern that there be adequate landscaping around the detention basin. Mr. Decamp responded that the way the basin is constructed and landscaped will have a bearing on how it functions; he suggested a condition that would require staff to review the landscaping plans for the basin to assure that it is aesthetically pleasing but does not impede the function of the basin. Discussion continued concerning amendments to the conditions .

BEATIE Artist 8 • REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL CITY OF ATASCADERO Agenda Item: B-1 Through: Ray Windsor, City Manager Meeting Date: 5/22/90 Via: Henry Engen, Community Development Director A4. From: Lisa Schicker, City Arborist SUBJECT: Consideration of a request to remove thirteen native heritage trees ( ranging in size from 20"- 54" dbh) and eighteen others (ranging in size from 4" - 19" dbh) for the purposes of driveway construction at 14260 Morro Road by Jim Rockstad. The oaks are located in the path of a driveway to access four buildable lots . RECOMMENDATION: Based on the arborist' s report, the condition of the trees and the • existing Tree Ordinance, recommend approval of some of the removals with two to one replacements on site. Please see additional comments and details in analysis section of this report. BACKGROUND: The Tree Ordinance specifies that live native trees 20" or greater dbh (measured four foot above grade) are deemed heritage trees and cannot be removed unless approved by the City Council following a public hearing. This site was subject to wildfire three or four years ago which damaged many of the mature oak trees and shrubs located here. Evidence of the fire remains in the charred and blackened branches of tree remaining vegetation. The site has been posted and the center line of the proposed driveway has recently been staked. Trees have been marked with flagging tape and numbered with white-faced tags . The trees were inspected by ISA certified arborist D .O. Denney and the City Arborist on several occasions . STATUS OF ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This project has been reviewed for environmental compliance by the • Planning Department and California Fish and Game. This project has also been reviewed for overall compliance by the Planning Division, the Engineering Division, Fire Department and Cal Trans . • ANALYSIS: Because this lot has been subdivided into four buildable lots , they must be accessed in some way. One driveway to access all four lots is certainly more site sensitive than four individual driveways, but because of the sensitive topography of this site in combination with additional City requirements, namely Fire and Engineering access standards , trees will need to come out. I visited the site with Mr. Rockstad to discuss possible alternatives to the proposed alignment. we explored several options , all of which appear to be infeasible. Each alternative is briefly discussed below. 1 . Change alignment. (This site is quite steep, has gas and oil pipelines with easements and blue line drainageways to avoid if possible; to change the alignment would not result in the ability to avoid many of these factors or stay under the 15% slope requirement for gravel roads . ) 2 . Narrow the driveway. (The Engineering and Fire Departments have already placed their constraints on this road which define minimum curve radii (381 ) and minimum width (20 ' pavement with 4 ' shoulders- Henry Engen, as Environmental Coordinator;has already granted design relief on shoulder width from 4 ' to 2 ' width) . The driveway has already been redesigned several times to comply with these requirements . Unless Council is willing to override these established standards , this is not an option. 3 . Use the property to the east (for some of the driveway) to avoid some of the trees . (An easement exists to allow a small portion of the road on the neighboring property to avoid trees - the property has been sold and an additional easement is not an option. This option may have avoided endangering 4 trees that are not going to be removed anyway. ) 4 . Use an existing road to the west of the property to construct access to the current building site. (That side of the property is very steep and the driveway would also be too steep. ) 5 . Reroute the road around the back ( instead of the front) of the proposed building sites . (This option would remove far more trees that are much healthier than the ones that are proposed for removal . ) 6 . Locate the building sites and access drive farther down the hill . (This option would be a more visually obtrusive view for travelers on Highway 41 and noisier for the residents-to-be. The current proposed building sites are only slightly visible from the road. Most of the trees that are proposed for removal are severely damaged by fire - but they are not dead. Evidence of life appears in the form of epicormic growth; a leafing out along the branches ( instead of the eno of branches ) , which usually signifies that a tree is on its "last leg" Again, evidence of the fire is apparent on the blackened trunks and end branches of most of these trees . After walking the alignment several times and inspecting the condition of these trees, I am inclined to say that the City would benefit long term by allowing most of the removals and requesting replacements . It was also apparent to me that some of the trees proposed for removal on the original application may not need to come out and that additional trees may be endangered by cut and fill; I would like to request that these be included in calculating the replacement requirements . Mr. Rockstad has also proposed to construct retaining walls to save four trees along the edges of the proposed drive - they are healthier specimens that were not as damaged by the fire. D.O. Denney' s original report is slightly confusing when coming up with a final of trees to be removed. We both visited the site several times and agreed that initial field work had been flawed because the center line of the road had not been staked. I have marked the copy of Denney' s report for my differences with his recommendations . The final tally of trees recommended for removal is different than his original report: Heritage Tree Removal : 5 trees to be removed ( 13 on first application) Other Tree Removal : 10 1, 18 on first application) Endangered Trees : 10 (None on the original application. Instead of removing these trees initially, I recommend that they remain for now to see if they might survive. These trees are not directly in the path of the drive but may be affected by construction and/or declining health caused by the fire . If these trees die within the next three years, they could be removed and replacements would be required to replace them) . Recommended Replacements : All trees to be removed and all trees that are listed as endangered that do not survive for three years shall be replaced at a same species 2 : 1 ratio. Please refer to the report for specifics on each tree. If the Council approves my report and recommendations, I shall provide the applicant with a revised map designating trees to be removed, trees that are considered endangered and trees to be protected. It would be appropriate to plant the new trees in areas where culverts are installed or on the new cut and fill areas to help protect the newly formed banks from eroding. Hydroseeding these sloped banks with native grasses and/or shrub species would also help stabilize these areas . The applicant shall provide the City with a signed statement that attests to the planting of these trees which should be planted within the first year, for the trees to be initially removed, or first three years , for the trees that are endangered and do not survive. Records will be kept in the office of the City Arborist.

Denney Certified Arborist #391 P.O. Box 3090 Paso Robles, CA 93447 C) . The purpose of this report is to determine what impact development will have on the oak trees along the road and in the area of the building site. Contents : 1 . Special arborist notes on fire damage to many of the trees on this project. 2. Vital statistics of trees affected by this project and recommen- dations. 3. Photos of the trees to be removed. 4. Tree protection plan. Special Notes: This parcel of land has had several fires in the last five (5) years. Many of the trees have been damaged beyond restoration. I am recommending the removal of all the trees that create a liability. The tremendous heat from the fire not only destroyed some of the inner tissue (cambium and phlom) but some of the hollow trees acted as natural flumes. For the damaged trees that will be removed, I am recommending replacement of these trees with five (5) gallon sizes of the native species of oak trees. The instructions are as follows: 1 . The trees shall be planted according to modern arboriculture or landscape practices. 2. A protective wire barrier will be put around the trees to protect them from ., animals such as deer, cattle and etc. 3. They should be multched with a suitable watering table. Consultation Report cont'd. Page 2 I am recommending the removal of twenty-nine (29) oak trees with a replacement ratio of two (2) to one (1 ) for a total of 58 trees of five (5) gallon size native species. To simplify this report, I will abbreviate tree species. For proper identification, refer to the key below: Abbreviation Name: Common & Botanical L.O. Live oak (Quercus agrifolia) W.O. White oak (Quercus lobata) B.O. Blue oak (Quercus douglasii ) S.O. Scrub oak (Quercus dumosa) C.B. Calif. Bay (Umbellularia Californica) All trees included in this inspection, are numbered with a white tag attached to the tree, for location refer to tree satistics section. Refer to this section also for size, identification and recommendations. This inspection covers approximately forty (40) trees alon the road and in the building site of this project. . To allow space for building site and to remove the liability along the road, it will require the removal of twenty-nine (29) trees. Remember, this area was razed by fire and over 70% of these trees were damaged beyond repair. Refer to Atascadero Fire Department for statistics. The following trees listed, are to be removed : 1/5/6/10/14/16/17/18/19/21/24/25/28/29/30/31/33/34/35/36/37/38/39/40/41/42/43/44./45 (A+tl Fmboas} Re___ NO.

It: survived very well in it's natural state. Vie sever its roots which are needed for anchorage and absorption of water arid nutrients. Vie pave and compact the soil around them, hindering the oxygen arid water supply to the roots. Yes, you purchase the property because of the beautiful tree scape only to witness many of your trees declining soon after or even some years after you have built your h(wne. Who is to blame? Did the Architect, City Planner, the Arborist, Contractor add to the demise of the tree? Was your building plan condusive to the impact on the trees on your property? Your City or- Cnrrrrty f fanner have codes arid regulations to follow and public pressure to preserve and protect your trees. Even trees that are in excellent health sometimes cannot tolerate the transition from natural (growing in a desirable natural condition) to semi-natural (sever the rents, compact the soil and build within the dripline ) to the unnatural (paved all the xray around the trees causing disturbances in air arid water exchanges in soil and many other changes). l•13ny changes can take place in the soil during construction. Physical changes may have effects on aeration and moisture. Changes in grade, new paving, trenching, soil compaction, can all affect the soils ability to support life. Almosl, all building arid landscape development will involve some grading arid exca- vation. The consequences of these changes can sometimes be detrimental to trees. Soil aeration is a critical factor. Roots must receive adequate oxygen. Trees can also suffer from moisture related problems, either not enough or too much. flow that you are aware that trees are sensitive living things, and we all must put measrrr•es into effect that will protect them. Protective measure needs to be applied : Yes lfo _ During construction, trees on the property outside the immediate corrstr•uction zone will be barricaded off with bright color flagging. No parking, storage of materials arid dumping of excavated or building material will be permitted. _ frees within 2-10l feet of the construction zone will be protected by installing a H—glrt colored protective fence (temporary) around the drip line area of the trees. ► frees within r� feet of construction zone will have their trunks barricaded to minimize damage caused by construction equipment.

Choose 15 gallon - sized native trees (either Q. douglasii, Q. agrifolia or Umbellularia californica) for the trees to be removed. 3 . Inspect the trees for encircling roots (roots that wrap around the pot have a poorer chance of straightening out and growing right in the ground. 4 . When planting, make sure that the roots have been untangled, straightened and loosened as much as possible. 5 . Plant in a hole at least twice as big as the pot, and use native soils in the hole. 6 . Provide the tree with deep watering - meaning a slow, gradual and long watering (which encourages downward root growth to anchor the tree) . Provide one deep watering in late spring and two in the summer. If drip irrigation is used, do long, slow watering, applying 10-20 gallons over a three-four hour period. 7 . Protect the young trees from wildlife or vandalism with some kind of fencing - both above and below ground if possible; welded wire fencing of at least 4 feet in height above ground and one- two feet below ground (I can provide some specs if needed) . It would be appropriate to plant these new trees in areas wher culverts are installed to help protect the newly formed banks fro je eroding. Hydroseeding these sloped banks with native grasses would also help stabilize these areas. The applicant shall provide the City with a signed statement that attests to the planting of these trees which should be planted within the first year (for trees removed now) and first three years (for replacing the endangered trees that do not survive) . Records will be kept in the office of the City Arborist. Roc� I Comments on Plans and Tree Protection Notes On the plans and notes that I reviewed, there were a couple of comments I would like to make . The tree protection notes and specs mentioned on this plan also do not adequately protect the trees or comply with the standards set forth in the Tree ordinance. The ordinance states that tree protection fencing should extend and encircle the dripline of the trees, not just the base or trunk of the tree. I did notice, however, that most of the trees to be protected fall within the cut and fill lines on the banks of the road; it is not known for sure if these trees will even survive; it has been known that a grade change of no more than 2" can sometimes kill trees . If at all possible, the soil within the dripline of the trees should not be disturbed, even in these cut and fill areas . Therefore, all of these trees that appear endangered by grading shall require a written agreement to provide replacement trees that guarantees that if the endangered trees don' t make it, they will be compensated for. According to the ordinance, if these trees die within the next three years , the builders are to be held responsible and be required to replace any trees that did not make it. In regards to tree protection, then, three recommendations : 1 . Identify and label all trees to be protected (within 20 ' of construction, including areas to be graded) and delineate the areas to be fenced on the plan (most of this has been done) 2 . Change Plan Note 16 (page 1) specifying tree protection to comply with the ordinance requirements (should be a 5 ' high fence at I.-he dripline of the trees (or at the line of encroachment with the road) - fence types suggested include welded wire, snow fence, chain link or safety fence - all staked so as not to fall in on themselves or the tree) . 3 . Require a written agreement between City and Applicant to have Applicant replace the trees to be removed and the endangered trees ( if they die during a three year period) in the cut and fill areas of the proposed road. • REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL CITY OF ATASCADERO Agenda Item: B-2 Through: Ray Windsor, City Manager Meeting date: 5/22/90 From: Michael Hicks, Fire Chiefo/w- SUBJECT: Weed abatement public hearing RECOMMENDATION: Recommend action by motion, i .e. , I move that the Fire Chief or his authorized representatives are ordered to abate the nuisance of noxious or dangerous weeds on the lots identified in Resolution No. 35-90 . " • BACKGROUND: As part of the weed abatement process, the City Council is required to hear objections to the proposed removal of weeds, rubbish, and other combustible material . This hearing allows any affected property owner to protest the proposed abatement of hazards on his property. After hearing the objections, Council overrules or allows any objections . This can be done by resolution or motion. I recommend action by motion, i .e. , "I move we (allow -- overrule) the objection to the proposed removal of noxious or dangerous weeds on the lots identified. " After disposing of the objections , or if no objections are made , the Council orders the abatement of the nuisance. This also can be done by motion or resolution. As of this date we have received no written protests. FISCAL IMPACT: Costs involved in administering this program are recovered • through the administrative fee charged to parcels abated by the City contractor.

On Wednes- day, May 16th, Mayor Dexter, Councilwoman Mackey, Henry Engen and • myself met with about 25 concerned individuals and 8-9 represen- tatives of the various social agencies who would be involved in the project. As a result of the meeting and the obvious degree of negative emotion generated by the project and its location, it was indicated that the matter would be placed on your next agenda for possible reconsideration through means of a noticed public hearing. I might just point out that the project itself is subject to a grant application by the County Housing Authority in conjunc- tion with the Department of Social Services . The deadline for submittal of the application is the day before your next meet- ing. An integral part of the support data was to have been a letter of conceptual approval by the City. However, in light of the meeting on Wednesday and the conclusion reached, I have taken the liberty of holding back that submittal pending Council deter- mination of reconsideration at your meeting of May 22nd. This action was explained to the people in attendance and the County agencies responsible for the grant .

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL Meeting Date : 5/22/90 CITY OF ATASCADERO Agenda Item: C-3 Through : Ray Windsor , City Manager From: Greg Luke, Director of Public Works SUBJECT : August 22 , 1986 Road Construction Agreement Between Paul M. Sensibaugh and the Gordon T . Davis Cattle Company RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No . 61 -90 establishing an understanding of conditional acceptance of roads completed under an agreement dated August 22 , 1986 between the Department of Public Works and the Gordon T . Davis Cattle Company . BACKGROUND: Since Atascadero incorporated as a City some of the existing Colony roads have been constructed according to written agreements between road construction contractors and developers and the Department of Public Works . These agreements delineated construction standards to be adhered to in the design and construction of the roads . The City has discontinued this practice of allowing road construction by negotiated agreement . The current department procedure is to require roads to be constructed according to published road standards including plans and specifications to be approved prior to the commencement of work. Proper licenses , security agreements , environmental documentation and an array of other provisions are also required prior to construction . DISCUSSION: The resolution presented here deals with roads constructed by the Gordon T . Davis Cattle Company . Regardless of present department policy, a number of roads have been constructed under the old system of a development agreement . It is in the best interest of the City to bring the roads into the city maintained road system. • Under the agreement portions of San Gregorio, Santa Cruz, Santa Ana , Balboa, Llano and Corriente have been constructed and all of Garcero, Corona , Jaquima, Sausalito, Enchanto, and Tecolote roads have been constructed. Chorro , Serrijon and Ardilla roads have only been partially graded and remain substantially unconstructed. A section of Corriente Road remains unconstructed due to steep slopes and only a fire access road remains along the unconstructed portion . It is not being proposed that this steep section of Corriente Road be upgraded from a fire access road. Staff recognizes that the roads already constructed will not meet strict "minimum road standards" recently passed by the Council . It simply is impractical to require the developer to make major road modifications to meet every requirement of the new standards . However, the developer does have an obligation to meet the construction criteria of the original written agreement . Therefore, we are proposing that the Public Works staff inspect the existing roads and identify all conditions which are unsafe, poorly constructed, difficult to maintain, or otherwise do not meet the requirements of the original agreement . The Gordon T. Davis Cattle Company is requesting that the roads that have been constructed be reviewed by the Engineering Staff to determine compliance with the previous agreement in order to have the roads accepted into the City maintained system. The Engineering staff has periodically reviewed these roads during the construction process and is prepared to compile a list of necessary drainage and erosion control improvements . There remain a significant number of minor alterations that will be required but the basic road configuration is complete. Resolution xx-90 states that once the deficiencies identified by the Public Works Director are corrected, a final resolution will be broughht before the Council recommending the City accept the roads into the City maintained road system. OPTIONS: 1 . Approve the Resolution as presented. 2 . Approve an amended resolution . 3. Deny the resolution and request that an alternative review procedure be proposed. RESOLUTION 61 -90 RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ATASCADERO ESTABLISHING AN UNDERSTANDING OF CONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE OF ROADS COMPLETED UNDER AN AGREEMENT DATED AUGUST 22 , 1986 BETWEEN THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND THE GORDON T. DAVIS CATTLE COMPANY WHEREAS, the past Director of Public Works entered into a written agreement with the Gordon T . Davis Cattle Company concerning the construction of certain Colony roads ; and WHEREAS, this agreement specifically outlined the construction standards to be utilized in the construction of specific Colony roads ; and WHEREAS, except for Ardilla Road, Serrijon Road and Chorro Road, these certain Colony roads have been constructed; and WHEREAS , the City Engineering Staff has been requested by the Gordon T. Davis Cattle Company to review these roads for technical compliance with the terms of the Agreement . NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT ; The Public Works Staff is hereby directed to review the previously constructed roads for technical compliance in accordance with the terms of the agreement between Paul M. Sensibaugh and the Gordon T . Davis Cattle Company , dated August 22 , 1986 . When the Gordon T . Davis Cattle Company meets all of the requirements of the agreement , as determined by the Public Works Director, it is the intent of the Council to accept these roads into the city maintained road system. The roads addressed by this resolution shall include those sections of roads shown in attached Figure 1 . Specifically excluded from this resolution are Ardilla Road, Serrijon Road and Chorro Road which remain unconstructed.

Davis Cattle Company and the City, the following is a summary of our under- standing of the procedures to be followed for the improvement of the roads shown on the attached plot plan. 1. Developer to enter into an inspection agreement with the City to reimburse City for actual inspection costs . 2. Every attempt will be made to maintain the constructed road at its mapped location. Centerline monuments will be referenced prior to rough grading. 3. Developer will rough grade the roadway using information supplied by developer's engineer and a qualified soils lab , approved by City , will take representative compaction tests at developer' s cost and furnish the results to the City. 4. City Engineer' s office will make an on-site inspection of the completeed rough grading with developer' s engineer. Adjustments will be made on recommendation concerning roadway grades and site distances . Cut and fill slopes will be examined at the time along with proposed location and size of drainage structures . Judgements will be based on well-recognized standards and practices . Drainage calculations are to be submitted to City prior to the field inspection. P.O. BOX 777 • 200 MAIN STREET • TEMPLETON, CALIFORNIA 93465 Page 2 Road Consturction Agreement Davis 6-13-86 S. All underground utilities shall be placed prior to paving. Trenches are to be adequately com- pacted with appropriate backfill material . 6. Developer shall place aggregate base . This work will be inspected by the City and will require compaction tests to be furnished by developer verifying the satisfactory placement of these materials. 7. After basing, City will review erosion control work and roadside drainage facilities . The City and developer's engineer will determine the location of any roadside ditches or downdrains . 8 . Developer shall re-establish and monument centerline controls for the roadway as approved by City. County standard monument well at road intersections and on long tangents , 5/8" rebar with metal caps at all other locations . The monument wells are also to serve as bench marks with elevations shown on the As-Built Plans . 9 . Developer shall provide accurate As-Built plans -for • the roadway including plan and profile , culvert locations and invert elevations , berm locations , utility locations , and any other improvement features . 10. Drive approach cuts and fills will be accomplished along with the subgrade preparation in order to eliminate the necessity of disturbing the completed roadway section when the balance of the driveways are constructed to serve individual lots . A no charge grading permit will be obtained and plans showing the location of the access points will be presented to the Planning Department and a field review of the driveway location made prior to approval to proceed with this work . The driveway grading should be kept to no more that 50 c.y. 11. Final improved section shall be a minimum of 2 inches A. C. over at least 4" of Class 3 aggregate base. The structural section is to be based on a traffic index of 4 and the R-value of the sub-base soils . 12 . The upper 18" of subgrade shall be compacted to 95% relative density as measured by California Test Method No. 216 or by calibrated nuclear density instrument. ' %M., Page 3 Road Construction Agreement Davis 6-13-86 13. Final pavement width is to be 20 feet with an additional two foot required where A.C. berms are placed for drainage control . Aggregate base width would then be a minimum one foot outside the edge of pavement. Also an additional two foot of A. C. widening with adequate tapers will be required where sharp horizontal curves are encountered. 14. Cut ditches shall be paved with 2 inches of A. C. where the road grade exceeds 10% . 15. It is understood that Gordon T. Davis Cattle Co . also agrees to pay actual costs for City inspec- tion and engineering performed on this project . 16. Developer will maintain roads for one year after date of acceptance. 17. The roads in question will be accepted for City maintenance when all steps have been completed. 18. Generally the roads are to be developed in accordance with the attached phasing plan. The stages of the work is to take place , such as tree removal , grubbing , rough grading, etc. prior to start of construction. Sincerely, Allen W.

Luke, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Assessment District Engineer for 3-F Meadows roads and a portion of Tecorida Road RECOMMENDATION: I . Adopt resolution 62 -90 directing the Director of Public Works to contract with Tartaglia-Hughes Consulting Engineers to complete preliminary assessment district work for 3-F Meadows roads and a portion of Tecorida Road. 2. The City Council may wish to pass this cost information to the residents with direction that they hire the engineer, and that the City will determine its level of participation at a later date . BACKGROUND: The 3-F meadows area roads that are not currently maintained include potions of Sierra Vista, Cassanova, Carmelita, Barranco, Barranco Heights, Casitas and Lucinda Lane . These roads have been paved but do not meet the City ' s current minimum road standards . All of these roads can be classified as rural residential roads . The standards delineated in the City' s minimum road standards A-1 and A-2 would apply to these roads . A portion of Tecorida Road extends south from San Andres and currently terminates before crossing a small tributary of Atascadero Creek. New residences are currently being constructed along this portion of the road and three building permit applications are under review. The road is unpaved and will require extension to reach the lots with pending building permits . Mike Messer, one of the applicants, has been trying to organize the neighborhood to make a combined effort to construct the road to minimum City standards . DISCUSSION: The process of determining interest in upgrading existing roads to a standard acceptable for City maintenance generally includes the following steps . 1 . A community group or an individual expresses an interest in having the road upgraded in order to transfer maintenance responsibility to the City. 2. A de • tailed cost estimate must be completed along with an estimate of the allocation of assessment costs before the group or individual can enlist a commitment from involved property owners . It is this step that the private citizen has difficulty in completing. Because few residents have the knowledge of road construction necessary to complete the cost estimate and assessment spread a consultant must be retained. The problem is that the individual or group must bear the cost of retaining the consultant because it is very difficult to enlist the financial support from affected residents in the feasibility stage of a project. 3. Once the estimate of allocation of cost is completed the neighborhood group can poll the effected residents to determine if sufficient interest exists to continue the project . If there is sufficient favorable response then the project continues through the assessment district formation process . If there is insufficient support, the detailed estimates can be filed for future reference . A similar situation exists for a building permit applicant along a very substandard road such as Tecorida. Each building permit applicant is required to construct a the full road width along the project frontage according to the City' s minimum road standards in addition to an all weather fire access road to the frontage . This of course leads to patchwork construction with disconnected sections of pavement . An example of this is Amapoa or Separado Avenue . The advantages of comprehensive road construction are clear but, once again, it is very difficult for a building permit applicant to organize a large scale project and to enlist the preliminary financial support of the adjoining Property owners. Residents in the 3—F Meadows area have formed a project committee and are requesting the City to participate in the preliminary phase of forming an assessment district . Mike Messer, a permit applicant on Tecorida, has also been trying to organize his neighbors to construct that portion of Tecorida to City standards but, without a detailed cost estimate, he has also been unable to organize a neighborhood project . On this short section of road there are currently four single family residence projects in different stages of review. The difficulties experienced by the residents promoting these two projects highlights the reason that road management has traditionally been transferred to "public" agencies. The question before the City Council is, "Does the City have a sufficient interest in improving the City' s privately owned streets to financially participate in the preliminary phase of is assessment district formation?" FINAL IMPACT: The City staff has contacted two local engineering firms that have the capability to manage an assessment district project . One of the firms has withdrawn from Participation because of potential conflicts of interest and project scheduling. The remaining firm, Tartaglia-Hughes Consulting Engineers, has provided the following cost fee estimate to complete the preliminary phases of the two projects. 1 . 3-F Meadows . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $4, 355 2 .

Tartaglia Civil Engineer RCT:jf • REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL Meeting Date : 5/22/90 CITY OF ATASCADERO Agenda Item: C-5 Through : Ray Wind3,__- From: I City Manager Gre Luke, rector of Public Works Greg , SUBJECT: Atascadero Creek Pedestrian Footbridge RECOMMENDATION: In light of the budget impact and need for further policy direction on this and other capital projects , it is recommended that this item be referred to the forthcoming budget discussions in June. BACKGROUND: The concept of a pedestrian bridge crossing Atascadero Creek apparently originated in 1975 with the original Atascadero Creekway • Schematic Plan . More recently , the need for a creek crossing has been discussed during the hearing process for the new bowling alley and during the development of the Atascadero Downtown Master Plan . As you may recall , the Council budgeted $60, 000 in the current years budget for the construction of a pedestrian bridge. DISCUSSION: The term "Pedestrian Bridge" can be defined in many different ways . During discussions with members of the staff, Council and various citizen' s committees several concepts have been suggested for the bridge . One concept has been studied in an engineering report prepared by John Wallace and Associates . This plan calls for a bridge approximately 190' long, 10' wide running from the top of bank on both sides of the creek. It would consist of three spans with two mid-span supporting columns . The bridge would be located at elevation 855 , approximately 3' above the 100 year flood level and 16' above the existing creekway . The engineers estimated construction cost is $210, 000. If landscaping, lighting, permit fees , processing and contingencies are included, the "in place" cost for this type of bridge would be about $250 ,000 . (Note : More recent conversations with local engineers and contractors have indicated a 5' wide bridge could be constructed for about $150,000.) This plan is supported by the School Committee because it affords maximum protection for students traveling to the nearby schools . The Atascadero Creek Plan and the Downtown Redevelopment Plan • have suggested a more modest bridge, commonly referred to as a dry weather crossing. While no formal design studies have been prepared, this concept generally calls for an improved walkway down to the creek and a short bridge or a series of man-made stepping stones to allow creek passage during normal flows . The cost of constructing a dry weather crossing would vary according to the level of improvement desired. For example, the $60, 000 budgeted by Council would allow construction of an attractive 4' wide concrete or brick walkway down to the creek, with some stairs , hand rails, landscaping and modest shoreline erosion protection. An attractive prefabricated wood or steel bridge approximately 30' long would span the creek. By way of comparison, a gravel path with railroad tie steps, minor landscaping and man-made stepping stones would cost approximately $30, 000. It is important to realize that any dry weather crossing would be constructed below the 10 year flood level . During a year of heavy rainfall most of the improvements would be destroyed. Every effort would be made to make the improvements as durable as possible and the bridge could conceivably be removed prior to a flood, however, in reality, the powerful floodwaters of a narrowly confined creek would destroy most dry weather creek crossing improvements . ISSUES: Several issues must be considered when considering the scope of the pedestrian bridge project . 1 . What is the status of the Lewis Avenue Bridge? Constructing this new bridge would satisfy some of the requirements the pedestrian bridge is now being asked to provide, namely, passage to school and an all-weather crossing. 2 . Is the purpose of the pedestrian bridge to easily and conveniently carry people across the creek; or is the intent of the bridge more to allow people to walk within the lush vegetation and scenic environment of the creekway? 3. What is the relative value of constructing a pedestrian bridge? In judging the issue from a cost vs , benefit perspective, how valuable is a link from the existing shopping center with the Downtown area? C®NCLUBI®Ni In my opinion the Council is faced with two alternatives : (1) An all-weather , durable, bridge which spans from bank-to-bank costing between $150,000 - $250,000, or (2) a dry weather path and small bridge subject to periodic innundation costing $30,000 - $50, 000 . The question before the Council is to decide the scope, purpose and cost of the pedestrian bridge. If an all-weather crossing is desired, I suggest the existing budget be augmented by $150,000 and a bridge spanning from bank-to-bank can be constructed. Conversely , the Council may wish to retain the existing funding level and support a modest , low-water bridge.

Atascadero, CA 93422 Re: Pedestrian Footbridge Dear Mr . Engen: This letter is written on behalf of El Camino Associates and Creekside Lanes, a California Limited Partnership to reconfirm our support for the construction and placement of a footbridge across Atascadero Creek . Creekside Lanes has been under construction since March 23, 1990. During this period we have experienced excessive foot traffic every weekday morning from 7 : 30am to 6: 30am, primarily made up of Junior High students walking to school and again in the afternoon when school is dismissed . We have also observed the public traversing the creek at all times of the day . The pedestrians are using a pathway and creek crossing at the same location of the proposed footbridge as diagramed in the Atascadero Creekway Plan . We believe the installation of the bridge would provide safety for those crossing the creek . Currently , one must negotiate the creek by way of precariously placed boards, dodge limbs and then climb a steep dirt incline . The presence of the bridge, would allow the children to cross the creek in a safer, more timely manner and reduce the damage to the vegetation . In addition, we would like to see the bridge link the BIA district with Century Plaza to increase access to shopping and provide shared parking . The design of Creekside Lanes includes a plaza to greet pedestrians as they walk to and from the bridge, as shown in the enclosed site plan . This area could include park benches and a directional sign describing the vegetation and wildlife habitat in the immediate area . We would like to coordinate the construction of the bridge with Creekside Lanes so the design and exact location could be established . Please give this your immediate attention as Creekside Lanes should be completed by August , 1990 .

BACKGROUND/ANALYSTS: • The City Council previously requested that the Parks and Recreation Commission to review future use alternatives for the aforementioned City-owned property to be developed as a mini- park , remain in open space, or be declared surplus property. The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed all the above proposals. Staff did an informal survey of area residents, of which 61'% were against the development of a mini park , 6?% were in favor of retaining the site as open space. 10% were not in favor the property being surpl.ussed , and BSS. were not interested in subsidizing a mini park development . The Parrs and Recreation Commission had two public hearings on this subject . The public comments are documented in the attached minutes. After the two public hearings, the Parks and Recreation Commission agreed with staff ' s above listed recommendation on a 5-0 vote AJT: kv ;Syc Attachments • PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES JANUARY 4, 1990 ITEM 4-A _-DISCUSSION ON USE OF CITY-OWNED SYCAMORE ROAD PROPERTY APN#28-092-09: Commissioner Mc Krell arrives to the meeting. The City Council has requested direction from the Parks and Recreation Commission regarding future use of the Sycamore Road property. The Planning Commission previously recommended the surplus of the property. The property has been appraised at approximately $72,000. Staff' s recommendation is to surplus the property and dedicate funds from the sale to purchase recreational use properties adjacent to Atascadero Lake Park. An informal survey was sent to residents in the vicinity of the Sycamore Road property as to the future use of the subject property. The survey indicated disinterest in developing the lot into a mini-park, with many interested in leaving the property in open space. Commission consensus is that a mini park and related upkeep would be inappropriate with the density of the area. It was felt that it would be too small for an equestrian staging area to the Salinas River . Commissioners agreed that if surplussed, an access easement should be considered across the property. Local residents concluded the lot has been previously used as access to the Salinas River during floods and access is needed . The development of a mini park was not desirable and could attract vagrants. There is a desire to retain the property in open space, and allow pedestrian/equestrian access to the river . . A local resident states that the City has not been maintaining the property by mowing, etc . in the past , and maintenance should be addressed if the City continues to keep the property. MOTION: Commissioner Harris moves to continue this item to the January 18, 1990 Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting; Commissioner Mc Krell seconds; Motion carries 5-0 (Commissioner Cooper absent) • PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES FEBRUARY 15, 1990 ITEM 4-B - DISCUSSION ON FUTURE USE OF CITY-OWNED SYCAMORE ROAD PROPERTY, APN#28-092-09: Parks, Recreation and -7oo Director Andrew Takata states that this • item was continued from January 4, 1990 to allow additional staff/public input . Mr . Takata feels that if the property is to be surplussed , it is recommended to retain a 15-foot easement for Salinas River 3 access. Community Development Director Henry Engen confirms that the site would still qualify as a buildable lot with a 15-foot easement . If an easement was established, it could be gated to allow only emergency use. It is noted that the lot was previously been used as an access to the river during prior floods. Commissioner Smart questions utilizing Atascadero Mutual Water Company easement as an alternate access. The Atascadero Mutual Water Company submitted a letter requesting an easement be retained at this location. Commissioner Meyer is in favor of surplussing the property if it is not determined to be usable. Commissioner Mc Krell states that the residential survey recently completed showed that the residents were not in favor of a mini park development of the site. Commissioner Mc Krell feels if the property is surplussed , funds should be dedicated towards recreational uses. Chairman Bench feels that funds from property surplus could be utilized towards other recreational projects now in the formal planning stage. Commissioner Harris feels that mai'ntenance and liability preclude the need to continue ownina the subject property, and agrees with surplussing it . No public comment was given on this item. Motion: Commissioner Meyer recommends the City Council surplus the Sycamore Road Property; Seconded by Commissioner Smart; Commissioner Smart seconds; Motion withdrawn by Commissioner Meyer Motion: Commissioner Meyer recommends the City Council surplus the Sycamore Road Property, APN# 28-092- 09, maintaining a 15 foot easement, and funds from the sale be specifically dedicated towards the purchase of land for recreational purposes; Motion carries 5-0 4 REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM: C-6(B) CITY OF ATASCADERO THROUGH: Ray �Windsor, City Manager MEETING DATE: 5/22/90 FROM: Andrew0 Takata, Director Department of Parks Recreation and Zoo SUBJECT: ATASCADERO LAKE PAVILION - DISMANTLING RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the removal of the Pavilion floor by California Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo, Construction Department ; and direct staff to seek contractor for the dismantling of the Atascadero Lake Park Pavilion.

MONTANDON RAY WINDSOR City Attorney City Manager • 2 � U MEMORANDUM To: City Council From: Ray Windsor, City Manager Subject: Colony Roads - Wells Fargo Meeting Date: April 26 , 1990 Earlier today, Bonita, Bob, Art, Henry, Greg and myself met with Michael Harrington, General Counsel for Wells Fargo, Margaret Devine, Project Manager with Wells Fargo for the Colony roads issue, and Jalynne Giles of Sinsheimer, Schiebelhut & Baggett. I am pleased to report that the tenor of the meeting was upbeat and conciliatory, and as a result of approximately 112 hours of deli- beration, there was conceptual agreement at our level to work toward a mutual resolution of the existing Colony roads issue. It was agreed by both parties that we should work jointly to fully resolve the outstanding issue of Colony roads title trans- fer from Wells Fargo to the City without the necessity of either party having to seek adversarial litigation. It was further agreed that we would work to ultimately resolve the matter in as comprehensive a way as possible. Essentially, this would neces- sitate our agreeing, at some point, to accept from Wells Fargo title to all of the various portions of real estate within the City' s incorporated limits through an agreed upon vehicle, re- sulting in a vested transfer of ownership. In recognition of the City' s major concerns involving transfer of ownership, Wells Fargo has agreed to a minimum of one year (or more, if the circumstances warrant) as a goal for accomplishing this transaction, a period of time in which wells Fargo will turn over data from their files and participate with the City in un- dertaking the necessary definitive survey of street and roadway conditions and their ultimate costs to the City. This memo is intended to provide an overview of the general un-. derstanding which was reached by the Council sub-committee and will be followed up as quickly as possible with a draft resolu- tion memorializing the substance of such agreement. Both parties fully appreciate and acknowledge that a vote of the full Council is necessary before any formal agreements are structured and executed. RW: cw c : All Departments MEETING AGENDAC DATE I • M E M O R A N D U M To: Ray Windsor, City Manager From: Bonita Borgeson Subject: Multi-family zoning/Small lot alternatives Date: April 27, 1990 I would like to follow-up on the discussion related to agenda Item B-3 of April 24th. Given the concerns expressed by Alden and myself, as well as questions raised by other members of the Council , I believe it is time to update our existing inventory of the multiple-family zoning. To that extent, I would like to know how much acreage we have, how much is developed, how many units are currently built and, of that number, what percentage are currently occupied? Inasmuch as the hearing to establish a planned development over- lay zone and the corresponding creation of a four-lot residential subdivision on Sinaloa raised the issue of how lofts are to be treated, in terms of their potential impact on sleeping quarters, it would seem timely for Council to provide some direction to staff on this subject. In fact, I intend to request that Council consider holding a study session to address this issue further, as well as my concerns about whether or not small lot develop- ments are providing adequate trade-offs, from which I am hopeful that firmer guidelines and standards can be established. Please agenda this for the meeting of May 8th, so we may consider suitable dates for a study session. • M E M O R A N D U M TO: City Council VIA: Ray Windsor, City Manager FROM: Henry Engen, Community Development Director Greg Luke, Public Works Director RE: Proposed Study Session Agenda Items DATE: May 22, 1990 BACKGROUND: Councilmember Borgeson, in her memorandum of April 27 , 1990, requested a study session for consideration of multi-family zoning inventory and small lot alternatives in planned development projects. We are quite well along in gathering data on multi- family housing at the request of the Planning Commission, and this . would appear to lend itself well to a joint study session. In addition, there are other matters where policy direction would be appropriate from the City Council and/or as a result of a joint session with the Plannina Commission. PROPOSED AGENDA TOPICS: 1 . Multi-family zoning inventory - acreage, number of units, holding capacity, extent of condominium conversion activity, etc . However, we don' t have a means for determining the per- centage of occupancy (the 1990 Census will provide that data) . 2 . Planned development overlay zone criteria - including small lot minimum lot size, adequate trade-offs, etc . 3 . Housing Element update - "affordable" housing, granny units, timing of adequate census data, etc . 4 . General Plan Update - review of the draft Land Use, Conserva- tion & Open space Elements that were recently transmitted to the Council, Planning Commission and the General Plan mailing list 5 . Road standards - Engineering staff is preparing draft policy for imposition of road standards through road improvement plan project stages . Discussion should include when to require what types of improvements for development projects together with how to encourage assessment districts for a more comprehensive solution to area road needs . • 6 . Drainage Improvements - Review drainage problems throughout the City and discuss both short-term (such as detention ponds) and long-term solutions (such as storm drains) . 7 . Capital Improvement Needs and Priorities - The City' s capital improvement needs for the decade should be discussed. Also their respective priority for construction needs to be examined. Council ' s input will be helpful for the Public Works Department to work with the consultant developing the Fiscal Management Model. HE:ph s • REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL CITY OF ATASCADERO Agenda Item: C-9 Through: Ray Windsor , City Manager Meeting Date: 5/22/9 From: Mark Joseph , Administrative Services Directo� SUBJECT: Adopting Resolution of Intent and First Reading of the Ordinance implementing the enhanced Public Safety Retirement . RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council adopt the attached Resolution and approve the first reading of the Ordinance implementing the Section 21251 .01 (2% at 50 full formula) Retirement benefit . BACKGROUND: Early retirement for Public Safety employees is fairly common place in local governments. After extensive negotiations in the Spring of 1988, the enhanced retirement package was included in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and the four Public Safety bargaining units (Firefighters, Fire Captains, Police Officers and Police • Sergeants).. Under the terms of the contract , the new benefit would be implemented in July, 1990. There are a number of procedural steps required by the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) .
