ANALYSIS: The applicant proposes to subdivide an existing developed parcel containing 1.5 acres into two (2) parcels containing 20, 000, and 44,500 square feet. The subdivision is a flaglot development. Parcel 1 will have direct access to Coromar Road. Parcel 2 will have access to Coromar Road by way of an easement across Parcel 1. The Subdivision Ordinancerequires that the access way be owned in fee title by the near lot (Parcel 2) . The access strip is over one hundred and fifty feet (150 '-0") in length so the access will be required to be twenty four (24) feet in width and _1 • developed with a twenty (20) foot paved driveway. These items can be required as a part of the map approval. The subject property is located in the RSF-X (Residential Single Family) zone. Minimum lot size in this zone is based on sewer avalibility. If sewer is available, the minimum lot size is 20, 000 square feet. Without sewer, the minimum lot size is set at 1/2 acre. The site is within the sewer service area and sewer service is being provided. With the addition of the easement area to the lot, the lot size will be increased above the 20, 000 square foot minimum. Comments were received from several outside agencies. Our Fire Department noted no problem with the proposal as long as the existing codes and standards are followed in the development of the parcels. The Southern California Gas Company has noted that the site can be served by an existing 2 inch main in Coromar Road. If additional gas mains are installed, they will need to be within the Public Right-of-Way or within approved easements. C. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends conditional approval of Tentative Parcel Map 10- 88 based on the Findings in Exhibit C and Conditions of Approval in Exhibit D.

Mr. Moses referred to a letter received this afternoon from Volbrecht Surveys requesting modification to Condition #2 to develop driveway standards in effect at the particular time of development. He then responded to questions from the Commission. Judi Bishop, applicant, spoke in support of the request. She noted the driveway is fairly steep and expressed concern with the 20 foot wide driveway standard being proposed as there are several large trees that may have to be removed. She would like to keep the driveway width as it now exists . Mrs . Bishop then responded to various questions from the Commission. There was no public testimony given. Commissioner Tobey stated that the 20 foot wide driveway is creating a problem with the trees in the driveway, and would be in favor of reducing the driveway standard in this case.

PLOT PLAN APPLICATION: Murray Warden is requesting the removal of a 28 inch live oak at a residence .owned by him at 7675 Del Rio. The house and deck • were built around this oak tree (refer to attached plot_plan) , and is being requested to be removed in that it "may cause heavy damage to roof or house" if allowed to remain. Given the healthy nature of the tree, off-set by the liability question that it poses, a _second-opinion was sought from Arborist Art Tonneson (see attached) , who concluded that there was "no way to modify the tree to compensate the impending threat to this home" . STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the removal of the heritage tree as requested, with two 15 gallon live oaks as replacement trees .

The letter submitted by the arborist states that the tree "may cause heavy damage to roof or house" if allowed to remain. Due to the size and species of the tree it is classified as a + "Heritage Tree". The removal of all healthy Heritage Trees must be approved by the City Council. Only dead native trees of this size or trees which are immediate hazards are allowed to be removed without City Council approval. The removal of the tree (Plot Plan #44-88) will be scheduled for City Council consideration on September 13,1988. The item will be a Public Hearing and you or your representative will be allowed to present information for the Council's consideration.

O. Box 747 Atascadero, Ca. 93423 August 30, 1988 Dear Mr. Decamp; As per your request I have reviewed the tree located at 7675 Del Rio Road. This reporter found the twenty eight inch heritage oak tree to be in good health. The tree is located in some decking along side of the house. The roof was cut at construction to accommodate the growth of the tree. At this time the trunk of the tree is hitting the e;isting facia board on the roof . The tree is also leaning in the direction of the house. The eves could be cut back another 4 inches, but this would only prolong the problem. With the growth of the tree and substantial wind, the tree will again rub against the house. There exist no way to modify the tree to compensate the impending threat to this home.

DATE_ ITEM IY • August 31 g , 1988 To: City Council Via : Paul Sensibau h� ActingCityManager From: Bob Best, Parks and Recreation Directors-- Subject : irectorSubject : Equestrian Arena Status Report BACKGROUND At the direction of the Council , this report is being submitted to provide City Council with the status of the Equestrian Arena at Paloma Creek Park, particularly as it relates to liability insurance and the requirement for keeping the arena locked. This was an item which appeared before Council in June of 1986, with an outcome which had a clearly defined set of policies regarding arena construction, scheduling, fees, and locking of arena when not in use by a • scheduled group/individual . I have attached a copy of the Staff report presented to Council in 1986 for your review. It was at this time that the Equestrian group received approval from the Council to construct the arena under an Agreement of Performance The Council approved the Staffreportand authorized the construction of the arena under the terms set forth in the Staff report . Of specific interest are the items listed in the Findings section relating to requirements from the City' s Liability carrier. They included: 1) The arena is to be kept locked at all times; 2) A 'control system is developed for reserving the arena; 3) Group insurance is required when an organization uses the arena. ISSUE STATEMENT The key concerns expressed by equestrians in the community center around the arena being locked, thus Preventing them from drop—in use of the arena. Staff has been working individuals to .assist them in their i ease of usage of the arena under the established guidelines. However, the central question remains is the City willing to change the current policy to allow an open arena, realizing no • insurance coverage will be provided in the event of an accident? Staff has been meeting with interested equestrians during the past several months, and the policy of the locked arena remains the major problem area i GENERAL INFORMATION Current procedure requires any individual or group wanting usage of the arena to make application at the department office for usage of the arena. This is the same Process which is required for anyone who wants to reserve a picnic facility at the park or a softball field. Payment is made in advance, a deposit is paid for the key, and a key is issued to the applicant . Upon return of the key the deposit is returned to the applicant . This creates the need to plan ahead for when usage of the arena is desired, but it is also the only way that proper control and scheduling may be accomplished. As part of my research into possible solutions for the arena, I contacted Mr. Ralph Goeken at Atascadero State Hospital regarding the portion of the park where the arena is located. I explained our dilemma in writing, along with a statement that this was not a request for the state to take back this portion of the park, and that my inquiry did not come from the Council or the Commission. It was simply an inquiry as to possible solutions . The response from the State was negative, as they were not interested in taking back this Portion of the park, even if offered. ( It was not, as my letter clearly indicated) . ALTERNATIVES Consider the question of the open arena concept, and issue a revised (if deemed appropriate by the Council ) policy statement regarding the arena, particularly as it relates to the locked gates . It is important to realize that an open arena would make it virtually impossible to properly manage the arena, especially relating to scheduling. Retain existing policy of a locked arena and reservation requirements . Staff has discussed this concept with local equestrians . It is agreed upon by all concerned that the current policy may not be optimal , but it is understood as to why it is needed. A conversation with Mr. Jim Comes, the Atascadero Horse Advisory Committee President , indicated that they now have a better understanding and acceptance of the current policy, and in absence of the viability of the open arena concept, no better alternative exists at the present time. i M E M O R A N D U M June 13 , 1986 To: City Council Via: Mike Shelton , City Manager From: Bob Best , Parks and Recreation Director Subject : Equestrian Agreement RECOMMENDATION Approve an Agreement of Performance with the Paloma Creek Park Equestrian Committee for the development of the equestrian facility at Paloma Creek Park providing recommendations from the City ' s insurance carrier are met , and Council is willing to risk the liability exposure created by this facility. BACKGROUND In October, 1984 , the City Council approved an agreement , in concept , with the Atascadero Horse Advisory Committee for the development of an eques- trian arena at Paloma Creek park. Initial interest was positive , but this group eventually lost interest in the project due to lack of funds and commitment from volunteers . As a result , this project has been placed on hold since that time . Recently, another group, Paloma Creek Park Equestrian Committee , headed by Mr. Jim Comes , approached the Parks and Recreation Commission regarding developing the arena. At it ' s April meeting , the Commission recommended approving an agreement with this organization. ISSUE STATEMENT At this time the Parks and Recreation Commissioners still desire to have an equestrian facility at the park. Despite the problems with the previous group , the new committee believes this facility can still be constructed at no cost to the City. However, the Commission and staff are concerned about the continued long term committment toward this facility without it actually becoming a real ity. As a result , the proposed agreement has a time frame for completing the Phase I development . It is our opinion the facility should either be developed as proposed under specific time guidelines , or the area plan- ned for another use . There are already inquiries concerning this area from other groups in the community , mainly as a location for youth base- ball fields . -2- • • The question of insurance should also be a factor in the decision by Council to approve/disapprove the development of an equestrian facility With the City being self-insured, we have a $100 ,000 deductible in the event of a claim against the City. The issue here is whether or not Council believes this facility will warrant the liability exposure it will create. The Recreation Division currently sponsors many programs which has a certain amount of liability exposure . Does Council believe the develop- ment and use of an arena will create a liability exposure which is greater than current programs currently being offered to residents of Atascadero? Another important question is whether or not the development of the eques- trian arena would provide for the best use of this area. Is there a higher priority for Council? FINDINGS t Research has been completed concerning the insurance question. According to Mike Simmons of Crump/Kindler and Laucci Insurance Brokers , they would not exclude the arena from our policy providing : 1) The arena is kept locked at all times , 2 ) A control system is developed for reserving the arena, getting liability releases , and getting the key to the arena, 3) When a group uses the arena they must provide the City with a copy of their Certificate of Insurance . He indicated it would not be necessary to have the City added as an additional insured, 4) If an individual uses the arena, they must sign a release . If it is a minor , they will require a parent to sign the release of liability , 5) If any type of jumping equi - ment is provided, a second key should be used for access to this equipm . The City should require use only by experienced jumpers , and should con- sider a testing program to determine skill level . Mr. Simmons also recommended the City attempting to locate a separate policy for the initial $100 ,000 of exposure , believing it would at least address initial expenses. He added, however , that it might not be avail- able . Further research indicated that "standard" policies are probably not avail ' able - London American Insurance Company provides policies for private arenas. They informed me they would not write a policy for the City on the arena. Discussions were also held with Marin Insurance Agency and Atascadero In- surance . Marin also indicated that no one will currently handle a munici- pality due to the "deep pockets" problem. Mr. Stan Gobbin , their agent , indicated this could change and recommended the City put this on hold for several months and perhaps the situation would change . ALTERNATIVES If the project is approved by Council , it should be stressed that this facility should be completed uring the time frame proposed on the agree- ment . At the March 1987 meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission , the equestrian project should be reviewed for completeness and quality . At that meeting the Commission should either 1 ) allow the equestrian co mittee to proceed to Phase II , or 2 ) Recommend to Council the equestrian" project be eliminated as part of the development of Paloma Creek Park. In addition , if the arena is eliminated, publicize that recommendations will be taken at the Commissioner ' s April 1987 meeting for development Proposal consideration and submittal to Council for action in May. -3- , 0 A second alternative is to eliminate the equestrian facilty from the park and provide this area for other recreation uses . Specific recommendations could be determined as above . A third alternative is to put this project on hold until early 1987 and then evaluate if insurance for a reasonable amount would be available. This , however, is a total unknown and the City cannot be certain the situ- ation will change in the near future . FISCAL IMPACT The development of the equestrian facility would be at the expense of the Equestrian Committee . All labor and materials costs would be the res- ponsibility of the Committee . The facility would be revenue generating, as groups would be charged for using the arena. Specific fees have not yet been determined, but these will be used to offset operating expenses. Fees charged will cover the cost of arena preparation, cleanup after the event , inspection of the facility by Parks employees , and any utility costs associated with the arena. In addition , a deposit will be required from each group using the arena in the event of damage to the facility. With a control system, it will even be possible to determine if an individual using the arena was responsible for damage . Any improvements made to the facility would be the responsibility of the Equestrian Committee . With a proper fee structure in place , this facility could be self-supporting. Daily maintenance of the facility would be minimal , and would not affect the Parks Division budget adversely. 0 • AGREEMENT OF PERFORMANCE This Agreement of Performance is entered into by and between the City of Atascadero , herein designated as "City" and the Paloma Creek Park Equestrian Committee , herein designate as "Equestrian Committee" and pertains to the development and use of four ( 4 ) acre park site , to be used for equestrian purposes , located at the corner of Halcon and Viejo Camino Roads .

Whereas , the "City" desires assistance in developing, :promoting , fund raising and supporting the equestrian facility. Whereas , the agreement with the Atascadero Horse Advisory Committee , the original group entering into an agreement with the "City" , is no longer effec- tive due to this group no longer being active .

VIA: Paul Sensibaugh, Acting City Manager FROM: Henry Engen, Community Development Director .- SUBJECT: General Plan Update Status Report/Request for Joint Meeting with Planning Commission BACKGROUND: At the City Council ' s meeting of August 23 1988, Terril Graham inquired of means of public input into the General Plan Update process, and staff was directed to report on the status of the General Plan at your meeting of September 13 , 1988 . GENERAL PLAN UPDATE STATUS REPORT: The Planning Commission held a special meeting on August 30, 1988 to review and discuss background materials provided them on the General Plan Update. The attached draft minutes; from that meeting outline the information covered, which may be further summarized as follows: 1 . Inventory - Land uses have been mapped, measured and tab- ulated, as has existing zoning. A series of base data maps including existing land use, development constraints, topography, existing lot sizes', existing circulation, sewer service area, etc. have been completed. 2 . Community Forums Four quadrant Community Forums and one City-wide forum were held to solicit citizen comments, on the General Plan Update. Concurrently, the Parks and Recreation Commission also held five such meetings to obtain input into a draft Parks and Recreation Element. 3 . Parks and Recreation Element The draft was transmitted to the Planning Commission and the Community Development Department for incorporation into the updated General Plan in May 1988 . • 4 . Economic Base Analysis Economic Research Associates presented their recommendations relative to General Plan, zoning ordinance, and Downtown Revitalization in the latter part of May 1988 * i 5 . Circulation Element - Draft recommendations are being reviewed by the City Engineer. 6 . Suburban Residential Analysis - Alternate scenarios have developed to evaluate the impact of establishing a given minimum lot size in the suburban residential areas, as opposed to use of the current formula. 7 . Sewer Master Plan - One of the key products in the proposed sewer master plan will be recommendations relative to the Urban ServiceLine, which is a key determinate in single family densities. We are awaiting consultant' s work in this area, WHAT'S NEXT: A Joint Study Session of the Planning Commission and City Council has been requested to review progress to date, and to give staff direction on the approach and schedule desired for developing and bringing to public hearing, a hearing draft of an updated General Plan covering the land use, circulation, conservation, and open space elements of the plan. This direction-setting meeting should focus on specific General Plan policy directions, together with the approach desired for public participation and involvement early on in the process . The Planning Commission indicated that they , generally would prefer a Thursday night meeting. Staff would request that consideration be given to setting the meeting for such a joint study session on either September 22nd or September 29th at 7 :00 p.m. in ,the Rotunda Room. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Following discussion, establish a - joint meeting date with the Planning Commission. HE :ph cc: Planning Commission Encl : August 30, 1988 - Planning Commission Minutes MINUTES - ATASCADERO PLANNING COMMISSION Special Meeting Tuesday, August 30, 1988 7 : 30 p.m. Club Room, City Administration Building The meeting was called to order at 7 :30 p.m. by Chairperson Dennis Lochridge . ROLL CALL: Present: Commissioners Tobey, Luna, Highland, Brasher, Lopez- Balbontin, Waage and Chairperson Lochridge Absent: None Staff Present: Henry Engen, Community Development Director; Steve Decamp, Senior Planner. PUBLIC COMMENT: None 1 . Planning Commission Orientation - Henry Engen referenced the Commissioners ' Workbook that had been reviewed on July 27 , 1988 and asked if there were any questions on the materials therein. George Luna inquired of "Planning Commission Interpreta- tion" , Page 18 , and was advised that periodically there are cases, for example, where the Zoning Ordinance is unclear as to a permitted use, or definition, and the matter can be scheduled for Planning Commission determination. For private individuals, a $150 fee has been established for such agenda items . 2 . General Plan Update - Chairperson Lochridge suggested that the Community Development Director summarize the contents of the General Plan Update binder prior to Commission discussion of the subject in detail . Henry Engen noted that the binder contained approximately 2 1/2 years of work in pursuing and updating of the City' s 1980 General Plan which had been prepared in the mid 19701s . Referencing wall maps reflecting data gathered to date, he noted that the General Plan had gone .through base mapping, inventory, goals review, and a community forum process and includes special studies prepared relative to the economic base by Economic Research Associates , together with a draft Parks and Recreation Element submitted by the Parks and Recreation Commission. Currently there is no Parks and Recreation Element in the General Plan. It was noted that the City currently has a population of 22 , 185 people, and following the reduction in density allowances and for multi-family dwellings, there' s a current population holding capacity of 32 , 800 . Recommendations in the Parks and Recreation element were highlighted and those made by ERA for consideration in the General Plan Update were also noted. Staff is working with the City Engineer to update the circulation element of the plan, and we are awaiting the recommendations of the consultant' s report on the Sewer Master Plan which will make recommendations with respect to the location of the Urban Service Line, which is a very important growth management tool . Following the arrival of Ray Windsor, the new City Manager, on September 12th, there will be a joint meeting of the Council and the Planning Commission to give direction to the General Plan Update. Among the issues that will have to be addressed in the General Plan, are the following: Single Family - Urban Service Line Location; Flag Lot Standards; 10,000 square foot lots ( ? ) ; Suburban Residential density formula simplification; and "net" vs . "gross" basis for minimum lot size determination. Multi-Family - Consideration of alternate land uses for multi-family areas; consideration of 10,000 square foot lots as an alternative; evaluation of the means to encourage mobile homes vs . multi-family; and policy direction on whether to pursue a condo conversion ordinance . Downtown - Definition of its "niche" , boundaries and standards . Commercial - Encouragement of "nodes" over strip development; amounts and types of zones by area; and evaluation of the number of zoning districts provided, and their purpose. Industrial Amounts and location; re-evaluation of South El Camino industrial zoning; consideration of possible North E1 Camino for a light industrial park; access problems to Traffic Way and Sycamore industrial park areas . Parks and Recreation - Review and refinement of proposed -draft. Civic Center - Incorporation of means to reinforce and protect the Civic Center area. Circulation Element - Standards; provision for trails; route-to-school plans; etc . In addition, the County Land Use Element for the Salinas River planning area is being updated and there will have . to be coordination between the City and County with respect to the Urban Reserve Line and the planning area of the City. A key concern is that any proposed land use changes that would affect the community be referred to the City for comment. Mr. Tobey questioned whether any provisions had been made in County plans for a North County motorcycle park to direct off-road abusers to a single site. Discussion continued on difficulties, but necessity, for establishing minimum lot sizes, notwithstanding the mixed pattern of existing residential lots . Limited locations for expanding incubator businesses was noted, and there was sentiment to consider converting existing RMF zoning to 10, 000 square foot lots for single family homes . Commissioner Highland said that a neighborhood should be encouraged in efforts to establish greater lot sizes to protect them, as was done on Carmelita. Commissioner Luna questioned what was intended by the General Plan language of lots less than 1/2 acre "except for unusual and compelling reasons" (Page 49 ) . There was discussion of the best means for gaining community input into any density revisions, including smaller area meetings vs . quadrant meetings . In response to an earlier suggestion by Sarah Grontstrand that a new citizens ' survey be commissioned, there was discussion of a recent survey in Paso Robles and staff will obtain information on their methodology and results , together with forwarding the Commission an earlier questionnaire done by Cal Poly at the beginning of the General Plan Update Program. Commissioner Luna expressed concern that single family residences are not subject to appearance review as directed in the General Plan design review guidelines . Chairperson Lochridge called a recess at 9 : 10 p.m. Commissioner Brasher expressed a concern that the "old town" area be reinvigorated so as to be inviting to tourists and encourage pedestrian traffic . Steve Decamp indicated that we are working with the BIA for distinctive downtown zoning and can report on this subject in the future to the Planning Commission. Discussion of Junior High and Lewis Avenue schools being replaced for commercial development ensued. Engen noted that the ERA analysis had indicated that there was not a market for the scale of commercial needed to supplant and relocate the schools . School master planning was discussed and the need for close coordination with the district. Commissioner Tobey expressed the desire to have the sign standards re-evaluated to allow for greater signage. Commissioner Waage spoke to the need for better appearance standards on signs . Staff pointed out that sign ordinance enforcement is handled on a complaint basis, as are all zoning enforcement matters . There was considerable discussion on enforcement activities . It was noted that the City Council had authorized the establishement of a permanent position for enforcement, with time currently being split between citizen complaints on enforcement and the Tree Ordinance. Council also authorized $10,000, in the current budget for an abatement process which could lead to the City Council directing, after hearing, clean-up of properties . The owner would be charged the cost or their property be liened. The Planning Commission has the discretion to revoke Use Permits that are not in compliance with the conditions of approval, and Commissioner Lopez- Balbontin expressed concern that before such action was taken that there be adequate warnings and time allowances to bring property into compliance. Chairperson Lochridge questioned whether any changes were anticipated in animal regulations, and there was discussion of the current rules and the fact that there are complaints on people who do not maintain sanitary conditions on their properties, in the summer especially. It was noted that when the Zoning Ordinance was adopted, that there was more concern expressed over standards for animals than over lot size standards . The meeting adjourned at 10 : 15 p.m. MINUTES RECORDED BY: HENRY ENGEN Community Development Director �. OMEETt,� AGENDA'TEM M • September 7, 1988 To: City Council Via : Paul Sensibaugh, Public Works Director Acting City Manager From: Bob Best , Parks and Recreation Director--- Subject : Lake Pavilion Demolition Options The Lake Pavilion Committee has discussed the future of this structure and has been considering possible options relating to the potential demolition of the building. Staff has received two written estimates to assist the Council in determining the future of the Pavilion. A copy of the two estimates is attached to this reportfor consideration by the Council . ALTERNATIVES • 1 . Total demolition of Pavilion. An estimate from two local contractors is attached. With this method, the City would contract to have the structure demolished and all debris hauled to the dump. 2. Total demolition, but save the floor. The current floor could be saved if possible to be used at a later date for another project . The two contractors who provided the estimates were not interested in saving the floor, and additional costs would result if Council made the decision to save the floor. 3. An approved State Fire Marshall ' s certified training exercise could be conducted to burn the Pavilion, and then ~ have the debris hauled from the site by a contractor. This was the preferred way by one contractor, as it would save the City money. 4. Save the floor, burn the building, and have debris disposed of by a contractor. 5 . Do not have Pavilion demolished. RECOMMENDATION • 1 . Alternative No. 3 would be the most efficient method of demolishing the Pavilion. It would save the City money, as contractor costs would be reduced by having the Fire Department burn the structure. 2 . Alternative No. 4, as Staff recognizes an interest to • preserve the floor in the Pavilion for future use . The condition of the floor is poor, however, and this option may, be more for sentimental purposes than a sound recommendation based on fiscal responsibility and professional judgment . FISCAL IMPACT No funds are currently budgeted to fund the estimated $10, 000 cost of demolition. • • R-- A . _N STEV SCHMIDT No.274007 TOP SOILS • GRADING • CUSTOM SOIL MIXES • SHREDDING & SCREENING_ ROUTE 1, BOX 11, • PASO ROBLES, CA.93446 • 805/238-2892 Ramada Drive & Highway 46 West Sold to: City of Atascadero Job Pavilion Building next to Paddock Zoo Address: Recreation Dept.

Reference: Atascadero Lake Pavilion Dear Bob: As you requested we meet at the Pavilion today to determine the cost to demolish the structure. As we discussed,the most economical way for the city,would be to have the Atascadero Fire Department perform a control burn, then have a contractor demolish and haul the remaining debris to the Atascadero Disposal Site. The concrete rubble could be desposed along the river, next to the Water Deptartment shop To make access for the removal of debris , you would have to move the mobile home on the west, out of harms way. Remove 2 @ 4" pine treesq and one 8"decidioves tree. The gas company would have to remove the two gas miters and abondon the line to the building.P.G. &E. would have to remove the two electric meters and abandon the underground service at the pole. The water can remain until the debris has been removed. To contain the debris from floating all over the Lake, a float guard must be installed approx 30 ' -o" away from the building. The debris should be removed from the water daily to elemanate any excaped debris from getting water logged and settling to the lake bottom. The small sewer pump building can remain, but the pumps can be removed later. The building can possiably be used for another function. Our estimated costs are as follows: 1. After the building has been 80% burned the cost for the demolition is $10 ,000 . . , 2. The cost to demolish the building as it is would be $20,000 . The above cost would be a complete abatement by legally despesing the debris and all concrete footings. Coordenating the removal and or capping off all utilities.

Marion W, oun MWY/lp • MEETING/ AGENDA Q� ITEM r Com' • MEMORANDUM To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Paul M. Sensibaugh, Director of Public Works/City Engineer le 006 Acting City Manager Subject Engineer' s Report, Setting of Public Hearing, Authorization to Bid, Ammended Boundary Map Date : September 6, 1988 Recommendation: Staff recommends that Council adopt the resolution approving the Engineer' s report , appointing the time and place for hearing protests, and the calling for construction bids . Coq- � Staff does not recommend the adption of the resolution approving the revised boundary map . Background: The Engineer' s Report, submitted under separate cover, shows the estimated project costs and the spread of assessments based upon an equal benefit to all parcels within the adopted boundary. The receipt of said report allows for -the-setting of the time and place to hear protests, such time and place being 7:3Qpm, Tuesday, October 25, 1988 at the City Hall Council Chambers and for the advertising of bids, which are to be received on October 14, 1988 . Please refer to the attached revised summary of dates for these and future actions leading up to the sale of bonds for this district : discard Previous copies of the dates summary. Since the last regular meeting at which time the boundary map was adopted for Assessment- District No . 5, staff has received the attached petition from the residents of San Diego Rd. asking to be excluded from the district boundaries . Since the reason for the request was that the signers were on a City—maintained street it seems reasonable to hear any group protests to the proposed boundary. At the last meeting, however, no one from the audience spoke against the proposed boundary and no written objections were received. Discussion: • The petition is acceptable and the boundary question can be answered prior the the receipt of the Engineer ' s Report . If the boundary is changed at the protest hearing on October 25, or if a zero benefit is determined at that time, the other parcels can not be assessed the difference to complete the project; the City would have to front those costs ordefeatthe district . A resolution to ammend the boundary is, therefore, presented at this time to hopefully resolve the question prior to the protest hearing. Although the signers argue that their road is improved and that they do not need to worry about maintenance or liability, those issues are still secondary to the question of benefit . The Engineer must determine the benefit to each parcel within a boundary. In the case of this district, which was formed due to a petition initiated by a 61% majority of the lots by land area, including several parcels on San Diego Rd. , it has always been presented that all parcels benefit equally. The Engineer has determined that neither land area nor length of frontage is a fair or reasonable method for the distribution of the costs . It is difficult to argue that those lots at the most remote portion of the district do not benefit from the work being done since the residents must travel a considerable amount of the roads being improved in order to get to San Diego Rd. Indeed, it can./ be more easily argued that the parcels that least benefit are those at the bottom or start of the district off the main highway; and that the parcels that benefit the most arethoseat the most remote end of the district, i .e . , San Diego Rd parcels . Any magic formula that pretends to distribute the cost differently would cause a nightmare of calculations and arguments from parcels halfway within the district or on cul-de-sacs , etc. The Engineer is recommending that all parcels included within the adopted boundary should be included and that all such parcels receive an equal benefit . Council has the right, after hearing comments from those within the boundary. to change that boundary or allow it to remain unchanged. Any such changes may cause corrections to be made in the Engineer ' s Report, which may call for an ajournment or suspension of actions on said report until such changes are made. Fiscal Impact : Adopted as recommended there will be no cost to the City for the above actions . Any subsequent changes at the protest hearing stage may or may not result in some costs to the City.

Sensibaugh, Director of Public Works/City Engineer leoz� Acting City Manager Subject : 2nd Reading Wastewater Ordinance-Rate Resolution Date : September 6, 1988 Recommendation: Staff recommends that Council adopt Ordinance 181 and Resolution 90-88. Background: Please refer to the attached staff report for the August 23 regular meeting. • Discussion: The attached ordinance is a combination of the present ACRD ordinance and thevarious ammendments thereof. Although there are no major or material changes in the "new" ordinance, there are several minor changes or clarifications of existing policy that are Pointed out below. There are no changes in any fees or charges although some are included that were left to calculations Previously. Page references refer to the small hand written number in the lower right corner of each sheet . Pg. 4&5, 7-2 .032 : Definition expanded to cover terms used throughout the ordinance . Pg. 8, 7-4. 010 (b) , 4th line The phrase "for one lot only was changed to "for all but one lot" . The intention of this section was to allow credit for the annexation fee for an existing vacant Tot in Improvement District No . 1 that has paid assessments for about 15 years, but to assess that fee to any new lots due to lot splits The existing language which was an ammendment in 1986 makes sense for a two-lot subdivision, but does not capture fees for any additional lots as was intended. Therefore, the new language will , for example, provide 7 fees for an 8 lot subdivision of a parcel that was a single lot during Improvement District No. 1 . This will not change the present collection procedure since the staff report • at the time of the ammendment adoption made this point clear even though the text language was confusing. Pg. 8, 7-4. 010 (c) , last line : The $850 was added to clarify • the fee in effect at the time of the last ammendment . Pg. 8, 7-4. 012, first line : After discussions with the old and new auditors, several inconsistancies were apparent with respect to the disposition of the various accounts in the Sanitation Fund. Only a portion of the rates paid for service are slated to go to operations and maintenance and debt service . Capital improvements are supported by connection charges (connection fees and annexation fees) as well as a portion of the sewer rates . There are several minor changes throughout the ordinance that reflect proper accounting of funds which considers the old ordinance, the EPA grant procedures and 'the staff report regarding the new fees adopted in 1986 . Pg. 12, 7-7.005, 2nd line: Since it is not very practical in many cases to place a cleanout five feet from the sewer main, the right-of-way language was incerted. This language is consistant with the Uniform Plumbing Code . Pg. 12, 7-7. 007, last line TV-monitoring has become an acceptable method of testinglfor some aspects of construction. Pg. 12, 7-7.010 : This section replaces a section that spelled out the different materials ',that tends to grow with time . Standards such as this should not be adopted by ordinance since they may • change as the City Standards change . • Pg . 16, 7-10 . 002, last line : The capital outlay portion of the sewer rates were supposed to go into this account which also includes connection charges deposits . This also decreases the number of accounts necessary. Pg. 16, 7-11 .001 : This section previously contained the sewer rates as is customary for political districts . Under the City policy rates are contained in the form of resolutions since they are subject to more frequent change . Pg. 17, 7-11 . 009 (c&d) , first lines : The word "remaining" has been inserted prior to "revenues" and "after (a) is subtracted" inserted after "rates" to show the true percentages that were orginally distributed for the EPA grant estimates of revenue/expenditures . As presently shown the sum of (a) +(b) + (c)=>100%. Pg. 18, 7-12 . 008, last 4 lines : This language was added to clarify the intend of the last ordinance ammendment . The intent was to discourage the "gobbling up" of available space within the system or to "buying a spot" at current fees without the intention of building. However, the present language on one hand encourages building to escape the repeat fee and discourages building on the other hand due to the risk of personal budget overruns . This added • language, which has been applied consistantly, allows important exceptions to the above rule without either incouraging or discouraging building. • Pg. 18, 7-12 . 013, last line : Added since a master plan is being developed that was not previously available . Pg. 19, 7-12 . 013, last 4 lines : Added to clarify the fees that are being charged. There are no changes in the rates shown in attached Resolution 90-88. Fiscal Impact : There is no anticipated fiscal impact due to the adoption of the new ordinance or fee resolution.

This would include an evaluation of the down-stream line capacities as well as any possible upgrading of existing lift stations . 7-12 .004 On-going service to the annexed areas shall not require substantially higher costs than other areas presently served. Typical of this consideration would be a need for an additional sewer lift station . 7-12 .005 Annexations will be processed as outlined in Chapter 8 of this Ordinance. 7-12 .006 Annexation fees , based on use , will be due and payable upon application for annexation or lot splits or use change or rezoning. 7-12 .007 Should the proponent of the annexation wish to receive reimbursement for any sewer main extension by those connecting within the annexed area , then the proponent shall file a reimbursement map with the City upon completion of the extension . 7-12 . 008 Annexations become void if connection is not made within 12 months after the application , and fees will be deemed forfeited after that time . Re-application shall require such new fees as are set forth in this Ordinance . This section shall not apply to vacant lots that are merged within one year, or vacant lots to which the sewer main has been extended within one year or vacant lots which abut upon an existing sewer main . 7-12 .009 Within the Maintenance Districts , if sewer is available on the boundary, it shall be deemed available to lots outside of the actual Maintenance District as well as those inside. 7-12 .010 Sewer connection fees and tap charges shall be paid upon connection to the sewer system. 7-12 .011 Sewer line extensions shall be brought to the far property line unless otherwise approved by the Director of Public Works for cases where future extensions are not practical due to perimeter or problem lots or lots that are shown in the sewer master plan to be served from another direction . 7-12 .012 For the purposes of this Ordinance, condominium units shall be treated in the same manner as single-family residences . 7-12 .013 Where there is a change of use from apartments to comdominiums , the applicant shall pay the difference in current fees and rates as established by this Ordinance prior to the approval of such change.

Sensibaugh, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Acting City Manager Subject : Wastewater Division Ordinance/Repeal of ACSD Ordinance Date : August 16, 1988 Recommendation: Staff recommend that Council adopt the attached ordinance . Background: Due to the necessity of the dissolution of the Atascadero County Sanitation District (a political boundary) it is necessary to conduct business under the auspicies of the City in the same manner as other departments . This requires the restructuring of the sanitation ordinance . Discussion: There are no major changes included in the new ordinance . The fees will be adopted by resolution instead of by ordinance and the department will continue to operate as an enterprise fund in the budget process . Since the ordinance is not effective for 30 days after adoption, the dissolution negotiation time period will lapse and the County will have to begin that process again. It is expected that the effective date of the ordinance and the recordation of the dissolution will coincide . The dissolution resolution will be placed before Council approximately 30 days after the second reading of the above ordinance—October 11 . Fiscal Impact : There will be no fiscal impact due to the restructuring of the ordinance . MEETINICJ AGENDA. 7 DAT ITEM N .., � MEMORANDUM TO: City Council FROM: Paul M. Sensibauah, Acting City Manager Director of Public Works City Engineer SUBJECT : Resolution Setting Sewer Charges DATE: August 16, 1988 Recommendation : Staff recommends that Council adopt the attached resolution setting the monthly sewer charges . Background: Upon dissolution of the Atascadero County Sanitation District a new Ordinance was prepared putting the Department of Public Works in charge of the Wastewater Division . Previously , the monthly rates were addressed in the ACSD Ordinance . This was due to regulations that require charges levied by a District to be enacted by Ordinance. Setting the rates separately from the Ordinance and in Resolution form will simplify rate adjustments in the future. Fiscal Impact : There will be no fiscal imv_ act at this time as we are not proposing rate adjustments . RESOLUTION NO. 90_88 A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ATASCADERO SETTING SERVICE CHARGES FOR THE WASTEWATER DIVISION OF THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT WHEREAS , Section 7-11.001 of the Wastewater Division Ordinance imposes a monthly sewer service charge for all premises connected to the public sewer system, or to which connection is available; and WHEREAS , The Public Works Department has analyzed the cost of treatment of effluent from each category and has set the service rate as appropriate. NOW, THEREFORE, the Council of the City of Atascadero does resolve to establish the following service charge schedule : a) Single Family Residential Unit $10 .54 b) Apartment Buildings (per dwelling unit) 9. 86 c) Mobile Home Spaces (per square) 8 .24 d) Hotel/Motel (per dwelling unit) 2 . 62 • e) Rest Homes/Hospitals (per bed) 3.50 f) Commercial Unit 3.23 g) Office Buildings (per office unit) 3.21 h) Restaurants 40 seats or less 74 .58 41 - 60 seats 109. 35 61 - 100 seats 144 . 12 More than 100 seats 178 . 89 i) Churches/Meeting Halls Less than 150 seats 15 . 00 150 - 250 seats 25 . 00 Over 250 seats 35 . 00 j) Schools (per student average daily attendance as of March 31 preceeding each fiscal year) 0. 085 k) Service Stations 23 .28 1) Laundry/Laundromat 145 . 85 m) Dry-Cleaners :basic commercial rate 3 .23 plus per washing machine 4 . 88 n) Car Wash 78 . 18 o) Fire Station 99.26 P) Warehouses/Storage Facilities 17 . 09 q) Theater 44 .42 r) Any Occupied Premises not Connected to an Available Sewer 7. 00 s) Truck Disposal of Sanitary Waste Per Standard Residential size truck 20. 00 NOW, THERFORE, the Council of the City of Atascadero does further resolve that this Resolution shall take effect immediately .

SENSIBAUGH City Attorney Dir , of Public Works City Engineer AGENDA ITEM • MEMORANDUM To Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Paul M. Sensibaugh, Director of Public Works/City Engineer <:�W' Acting City Manager Subject : West Mall Signal Agreement-Caltrans Date : September 6, 1988 Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the attached agreement through the adoption of Resolution 95-88 Background: There is a long history behind the attached agreement which' culminates over two years of difficulties with right-of-way, fuel tank removal and design changes . Please refer to the Public Works files for additional information on this topic . Discussion: The agreement is essentially the same as the one presented over one year ago when we were informed of the problems with the Hoff right-of-way. Subsequently, the Council has adopted an agreement with the Hoffs and Caltrans is awaiting the results of the hazardous materials report to be done in the fuel tank excavations . The Caltrans agreement refers to a 51-49 split which is correct once all of the costs are figured, including those which are 100% City. Since the attached exhibit reflects the actual 33-67% breakdown for most items, including the traffic signal itself, ,staff has agreed to disagree with the new approach. It is expected that, if anything, the City stands to benefit from the new distribution if change orders are needed for roadway items which were figured at 100% City. Once the bids are received, which is now anticipated in the Spring of ' 89, the City will have to deposit our share of the costs with Caltrans . Fiscal Impact : • The costs shown do not reflect the $16 ,500 maximum contribution to the City from the Hoffs which is a part of our right—of—way agreement with them. Also not included, except by reference, ,is Caltrans ' share of the design costs which equal $24, 883. Included in the City cost, not-to-exceed, is $25, 287 for engineering. Therefore , the total cost for Caltrans ' engineering is $50, 170 or 29% of the construction costs . The maximum cost to the City, without additional approvals, is $95, 987, and includes $8, 000 for a modulated light signal detection system (fire truck preempt) . This share will come out of development fees already accumulated for signalization and roadway work, Staff suggested the use of FAU funds but Caltrans indicated that such use of the new funds would del"ay the project another year. • • i • RESOLUTION NO, 95-88 A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ATASCADERO APPROVING THE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND RECONSTRUCTION OF THE ROADWAY AT EL CAMINO REAL AND WEST MALL WHEREAS , the California Department of Transportation has determined the need for a signal installation at E1 Camino Real and West Mall , and WHEREAS, the California Department of Transportation has prepared plans and specifications for this project , and WHEREAS , the City recognizes the importance of the upgrade and modification of the intersection , and WHEREAS , the City of Atascadero is a 33 percent owner of this intersection, NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Council of the City of Atascadero hereby; 1 . Approves that the certain agreement attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference between the City of Atascadero and the State of California, Department of Transportation , and that the Mayor is authorized to execute the same , 2 .

Document No. MEE�1 AGENDA MEMORANDUM • JAT & ITEMS • TO: Acting City Manager Paul Sensibaugh and City Council Members FROM: Chief of Police SUBJECT: Police Car Purchase DATE: August 24, 1988 RECOMMENDATION/COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: By motion, authorize the purchase of one mid-sized vehicle from Atascadero Ford for a total amount not to exceed $15,500. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The purchase of this vehicle will be in keeping with the previously authorized fiscal year 1988-89 budget which calls for the acquisition of two police cars. A specific amount isnot listed inasmuch as this car will be purchased through a wholesale auction process in cooperation with our local Ford dealer ,who will actually negotiate the sale below the amount authorized. The listed ceiling amount of $15,500 was obtained from both National Auto Leasing/Sales and Hertz Auto Leasing/Sales, and the estimated costs are for comparable, intermediate sized cars. • The clear advantage of purchasing our cars in this manner is that we can purchase comparable vehicles in our City to those offered in the metropolitan areas, thus, we return sales tax money to City revenues, and additionally, the vehicle warranty and servicing is more easily accommodated. The second vehicle, which is a special heavy-duty patrol car will likely be purchased later through the CHP, cooperative allied,agency purchasing plan as has been past practice. FISCAL IMPACT: As indicated, the amount reflected is a maximum amount which was previously authorized by Council in its adoption of our current budget. For your consideration.. . RICHARD H.

Part of the '' motivation for the Tree Committee' s suggestion is • found in the following Sub-section 9-4 .155 (c) ,(5) Replacement Trees which reads as follows : "Except where, - upon recommendation of the arborist, the remaining tree cover is so extensive that tree replacement would serve no useful _ purpose, removed tree(s) shall be replaced with a similar native tree or a number of trees which provide equal aesthetic quality. The minimum size of a replacement tree shall be in a fifteen (15) gallon container. The 'foregoing language provides an exception to the General Plan language which states as follows on Page 158 : "Permits for 'both residential and commercial development shall take into consideration the trees existing' on the property. Building shall be designed to utilize existing trees in the landscaping pattern. Any trees removed shall be replaced. " At the present time, there does not exist authority to mandate that individuals having heavily wooded properties be required to contribute towards a general City-wide tree replacement fund in lieu of providing replacement trees. This matter could be considered as part -of the October 25th evaluation of potential • amendments to the Tree Ordinance, recognizing that there are pros and cons to establishing such a mandate. There' s nothing, however, to preclude the City establishing a revenue account for voluntary donation from individuals in general, and for those with construction projects who would be interested in such a donation in lieu of a strict replacement tree requirement. • • • STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 1 . Direct the Finance Department to establish a Tree Replacement Fund account 2. Refer the issue of whether to amend the Tree Ordinance to provide for ordinance directed donations to such an account to the City Council ' s meeting of October 25th for review. HE:ph cc: Tree Committee M E M O R A N D U M TO: City Council September 13 , 1988 VIA: Paul Sensibaugh, Acting City Manager FROM: Henry Engen, Community Development Director \AE SUBJECT: Request of Richard Alvarez to be designated as a City-certified arborist BACKGROUND: The City has received the attached letters from Richard Alvarez relative to his qualifications to serve as a City-designated arborist under the Tree Ordinance. ANALYSIS: The Zoning ordinance contains the following language with respect to certified arborists : (b) TREE PROTECTION PLAN: In order to protect trees during construction of a project and to maximize chances for their subsequent survival , a tree protection plan shall be required as part of applications subject to this section. Said plan shall be approved by an Interna- tional Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certified arborist chosen from a list recommended by the Tree Committee and designated by resolution of the City Council as acceptable to the City of Atascadero. Hence, Mr. Alvarez , notwithstanding his considerable credentials, does not qualify under the present language in the ordinance. However, in creating the Tree Committee, the Council called for a report in 6 months (October 25 , 1988) to consider amendments to the ordinance . STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Refer the issue to the October 25 , 1988 City Council meeting to be considered as part of recommended amendments to the Tree Ordinance.

Box 737 Atascadero, CA 93423 Attn: Marge Macky I would like to voice my opinion in regards to'-,the City of Atascadero's selection of Certified Arborists. It is wrong to only recognize the Western � Chapters rs Certified Arborists. This certification can be obtained b an horticulture Y Y student with little or no real experience. This eliminates your more qualifiedP rofessions in the tree industry. For example: there is the N.A.A. , National Arborist Association and the A.S.C.A, American Society of Consulting Arborist. I would like to suggest that your wording encompass these other capable professionals. D. 0. Denney and -I, Richard G. Alvarez, are members of the American Society of Consulting Arborist. - To be a member of A.S.C.A. , you need to have at least 20 years of experience. These people are called on by the American Bar Association frequently to service as expert witnesses. It is much harder to get into this group of professionals then the Western Chapter I.S.A. Certi- fication. Approximately 95/0 of the I.S.A. Certified Arborist would not qualify. Very truly yours, 2 Richard G.
