2. RESOLUTION NO. 75-93 - Adopting sanitation service charges to be added to
the 1993-94 Property Tax Bill
Henry Engen provided background, the staff report and recommendation to authorize
placing sewer service rates onto the tax rolls. There were no Council comments or
questions.
Public Comments:
Bill Mazzacane, Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce, voiced objection to
the rates and described them as inequitable. He contended that the Council's
previous action to adopt a revised sewer rate schedule was not well-noticed and
asserted that the rates will affect small retailers adversely. He urged the Council to
ensure that pertinent water use information be obtaj"d from the Atascadero Mutual
Water Company as quickly as possible to be analyzed and compared with the new
. sewer rates.
Ruth Rentschler, local business owner and resident, exclaimed than her new rate was
unfair and asked how adjustments would be made once a comparative study is made
with water company data. Henry Engen explained that the new rates would be set
for one year and proposed that any changes as a result of further analysis would have
to come back to the Council for consideration. Councilman Luna';pointed out that it
has been determined that some businesses have not been paying any sewer service
rates for twelve years. Mrs. Rentschler asserted that adjustments should be made
before fees go on the tax rolls.
Rush Kolemaine, Potrero Road resident, pointed out that vacancy factors at local
motels and apartments should be taken into consideration and proposed that
adjustments be made as soon as possible once actual usage and impact have been
examined.
---End of Public Testimony---
MOTION: By Councilman Nimmo, seconded by Councilman Luna to
CC 07/13/93
. Page 5
approved Resolution No. 75-93.
Discussion on the motion: Mayor Kudlac commented that some rates may be
unjust and suggested that the matter come back for review in two or three
months. Mr. Engen noted that staff was striving to gain Water Company
cooperation and would keep the Council posted on those efforts. Councilman
Luna observed that substantial problems result when necessary improvements
and upgrades to city infrastructure are not made. He recommended that fixed
costs, as well as usage, be considered and urged approval.
Vote on the motion: Motion to approve passed 4:0 by roll call vote.
3. RESOLUTION NO. 78-93 - Authorizing placement of delinquent solid waste
charges on the 1993/94 Property Tax Rolls
Mark Joseph presented the staff report and recommendation.`He noted that this was
the first year of mandatory garbage pick-up and it was the first time the City was
placing delinquent accounts on the tax rolls. Because of this, he explained, staff and
Wil-Mar were working to smooth out some of the problems that are encountered
when a new process is initiated. There were no Council comments or questions.
Public Comments: •
Jim Edwards, 2100 EI Camino Real, opposed placing the solid waste charges on the
tax rolls and suggested that Wil-Mar do their own collections.
Bill Kelly, 4730 San Benito Road, stated he was out of town for seven months of the
year and objected to being charged for garbage service when he isn't home and
generating trash.
David Broadwater reported he owned a rental on Portola and explained that he had
just paid Wil-Mar $52.00 representing past-due charges left unpaid by his tenants.
He expressed concerns relating to the process and asserted that property owners
must be given notice if tenants fall behind.
Jim Lewis, 5495 Mercedes, expressed similar concerns and stated he had only just
learned his renters were delinquent.
Betty Sanders, representing Wil-Mar Disposal, reported that Wil-Mar was aware of the
problem relating to tenants and landlords; and offered a compromise. She indicated
that the garbage company would be willing to forgive specific property owners of the
CC 07/13/93
Page 6
debts left unpaid by tenants if they would be willing to cooperate with Wil-Mar in
locating those former tenants. She added that Wil-Mar was taking into consideration
all input from the public in an effort to improve the process.
Councilman Luna stated that he wanted assurance that anyone who has paid charges
will not be assessed. Ms. Sanders reported that the list of assessments will not be
sent to the County until it has been updated to reflect all payments received.
Councilman Nimmo remarked that, as a landlord himself, a satisfactory solution is for
the property owner to pay the garbage bill and pass on the chargle to the renter.
Mr. Kelly, speaking again, stated that there had not been enough information included
in the notice to property owners about the protest hearing.
Mr. Broadwater also addressed the Council again and indicated that he supported the
concept of mandatory pick-up. He suggested that Wil-Mar provide proper notice to
landlords when a tenant is late. Councilman Luna remarked that although the matter
is indeed between the tenant and landlord, the point is that accounts are delinquent.
Jim Lewis spoke once more and claimed that he was not notified for six months that
the trash bill was late.
---End of Public Testimony---
Brief discussion ensued about the deadline for paying off a delinquent charge. Ms.
Sanders reiterated that Wil-Mar was willing to wait until the last possible moment.
The City Attorney advised that Council could go ahead and adopt.the resolution with
a provision reflecting a cut-off date. He pointed out that although it would not be
possible to add new names or parcels it was possible to remove those who have paid
from the list before it goes to the County, even after the resolution is adopted.
MOTION: By Councilman Nimmo, seconded by Councilman Luna to adopt
Resolution No. 78-93, and further, to delay forwarding the final
list to the County (until the last minute).
Discussion on the motion: It was suggested that Wil-Mar place Friday, July 16,
1993 at 5:00 p.m. as the deadline to receive all delinquent charges. In
addition, it was agreed that Wil-Mar and City staff would review for accuracy
the final list before it is sent to the County by their deadline of July 23, 1993.
Mr. Joseph indicated that staff would provide the Council',with a copy of the
final list.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL Agenda Item: B-4
CITY OF ATASCADERO
Through: Andy Takata, City Manager Meeting Dat 8/24/93
From: Mark Joseph, Administrative Services Dire for
SUBJECT: Renewing annual Animal Control Contract with the eounty
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution 103-93, renewing the City' s
contract with the County for animal control services.
ANALYSIS:
For the last several years, the 'contract with the County for
animal services has undergone several changes, from a fee-for-
service format, to a fixed fee based on varying levels of
service. This latest format offers Atascadero the ability to
select whatever `level of service it prefers, and yet assures a ,
fixed price, so that costs can be forecasted better.
The attached resolution and draft contract sets an annual
cost at $55,000 per year. This provides the full range of animal
control services (Package "D" ) , thereby freeing City police
resources for law enforcement purposes. addition, '$5,000 is
included for spay/neuter discounts. The'dontract is for three
years, expiring June 30, 1995. Annual costs may be adjusted to
reflect County increases, not to exceed five percent per year.
The City can modify its service levels each year.
The total of $60,000 was included in the FY 1993-94 budget.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF ATASCADERO Item No C-1
Through: Andy Takata, City Manager Meeting ate: 08/24/93
From: Henry Engen, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:
Route 41 Bridge Replacement and Roadway Realignment.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of attached Resolution No. 100-93, reaffirming the City's
support for Alternate A-Modified for the realignment of Highway 41.
DISCUSSION:
At the San Luis Obispo's Council of Governments' August 4, 1993
meeting, this project was pulled from , the list of previously
approved projects where it was includedrlas part f the proposed
1993 Federal Transportation Improvement Program for the area. The
attached letter from Ruth Brackett, President of the COG, requested
that the City hold a formal public hearing on the project prior to
their considering the matter at their next meetin on September
8th. At the Council' s meeting of August 10th, A gust 24th was
selected for that hearing.
The attached background materials summarize the project' s history
- beginning in 1967 - of the so-called Alternate "A alignment for
the relocation of Highway 41 and a new bridge cross ng the Salinas-
River. Also included is the September 1992 letter from the former
Caltrans Project Engineer, Kathy DiGraza, summarizing Caltrans'
actions in modifying the Draft Environmental Report to incorporate
stronger mitigation measures for tree replacement, prevision of a
bridge instead of fill at the entrance to Stac ium Park, and
formally recommending the preferred Alternate A ddified route.
This letter also summarizes the public hearing proe ss involved in
project evaluation. In addition, the minutesand staff report of
the Council' s 3:2 vote supporting Alternate A-Modif ed at the July
14th 1992 meeting is attached hereto, together w th the City' s
response to the Draft EIR, dated May 22, 1992.
GENERAL PLAN CONFORMITY
The Circulation Element adopted in June 1993 contain3 the following
language with respect to the Highway 41 extension:
000029
"6. ARTERIAL ROADWAYS
Policies
(c) Support the realignment of State Route 41 as a two-
lane highway along Mercedes, along;with replacement
of its existing bridge across the Salinas River,
while minimizing its impacts on the community. "
Prgar=
62 "Work with Caltrans to ensure funding and construc-
tion by Caltrans of State Route 41 ,improvements'as
described for Alternative A-Modified in the DEIR
for that project (Caltrans, 1992) ,; including
traffic signal improvements on the west end.
Realignment of Route 41' will significantly reduce
traffic on Curbaril Avenue and. -West MallICap s-
trano, avoiding the need for widening these
existing residential streets. ; While accelerating
the need for improving -the Morro ReadfUS 141
interchange, realignment will postpone the need for
reconstruction of the Curbarl and Traffic Way
interchanges. "
As reflected in the attachments, thentown Master Plan also
reflects the Alternate "A" alignment. y.
PROJECT STUDY REPORT STATUS
The City of Atascadero and SLOCCG. are co-funding a Project Study
Report for the short; and long-range improvement of the interchange
of Highway 41 and 101. The draft report is on the Council's
reading desk and a presentation to the City Council by the
consultants and staff has been scheduled for September 14 1993.
The proposed improvements anticipate the construction of Alternate
A-Modified.

Subject: Route 41 Bridge Replacement and Roadway Realignmqrit
Dear Delegate Nimmo,
This letter confirms the action taken by the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG)
at its August 4th meeting excluding ,the Highway 41 Bridge Replacement. and Roadway
Realignment Project from its approval of the Federal Transportation Improvement Program(FTIP).
.. Approval of the FT1P with this exclusion was done wii `the provision that the Atascadero City _
Council.will hold apubiic hearing on the project before the next SLOCOG meeting on September
8th at which time th
ero'ect will be reconsidered for inclusion in the FTiP.
p 1
The net effect of removing the project from the F11P is that Caltrans is precluded from seeking
federal funding for the project until it is included in that document. Any action you can now take
to speed formal action byyourCity Council on the recommended alignment alternative will benefit
all involved. SLOCOG delegates have noted that once a:formal public hearing. is held on the
project, with a• vote of approval by the Council, that they will feel more comfortable voting to
include it in the F1lP.
Sincerely,
Ruth Brackett, President-

TESTIMONY OF DAN HERRON
BEFORE THE CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
APRIL 1, 1993
REGARDING
THE ROUTE 41 EAST BRIDGE REPLACEMENT AND REALIGNMENT
GOOD MORNING (AFTERNOON), MY NAME IS DAN HERRON AND IAM HERE
REPRESENTING THE SAN LUIS OBISPO METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION
TO GIVE TESTIMONY IN SUPPORT OF THE ROUTE 41/SALINAS RIVER BRIDGE
REPLACEMENTAND REALIGNMENT PROJECT. SINCE ITS INCEPTION,THE PROJECT
HAS BEEN SUPPORTED BY THE CIN OF ATASCADERO, THE,COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS, AND OUR AGENCY. THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS NECESSARY TO
ADDRESS EXISTING AND PROJECTED TRAFFIC SAFETY AND CONGESTION RELATED
ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS IN THE CffY OF ATASCADERO. THE EXISTING
HIGHWAY ROUTE FOLLOWS A CIRcurrbUS PATE rTHROUGH THE CITY, ALONG
TWO LANE ,
NARROW TW STREETS PASSING UNDER A FUNCTIONALLY INADEQUATE
RAILROAD BRIDGE, BEFORE IT REACHES THE SALINAS RIVER BRIDGE. THE
ACCIDENT RATE FOR THIS SECTION OF ROUTE 41 EXCEED$ THE STATEWIDE
AVERAGE FOR SIMILAR FACILITIES BYABOUT 17%. THE DIFFICULTIES ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS ROUTE CAUSE MUCH OF THE TRAFFIC THROUGH THIS AREA TO USE
CURBARIL AVENUE, WHICH IS VERY DETRIMENTAL TO ;ITS RESIDENTIAL
CHARACTER. IN ADDITION TO REPLACING THE STRUCTURALLY DEFICIENT AND
FUNCTIONALLY OBSOLETE EXISTING BRIDGE, CONSTRUCTION''OF THE HIGHWAY
ON ALIGNMENT A-MODIFIED WILL HELP TO REDUCE TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS IN THE
AREA, AND WILL ELIMINATE MOST OF THE PROBLEMS RELATED TO OUT OF
DIRECTION TRAVEL THAT IMPACT THE RESIDENTS OF CURBARIL AVENUE.
THE HISTORY OF THIS PROJECT, WHICH BEGAN IN 1967 WHEN 'A LOCAL CITIZENS
00003'7
ADVISORY COMMITTEE ASKED THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO REQUEST THAT
THE DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS MAKE A ROUTE STUDY REPORT, IS MARKED
REPEATEDLY BY ACTIONS IN SUPPORT OF ALTERNATIVE A. KEY DATES INCLUDE
THE FOLLOWING: IN 1970, THE ALTERNATIVE A ALIGNMENT WAS ADOPTED BY THE
CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY COMMISSION. IN 1974, THE ADOPTED ALIGNMENT WAS
INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL SAN LMS OBISPO REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN.
IN 1981, AFTER THE CITY OF ATASCADERO WAS INCORPORATED, THE ADOPTED
ALIGNMENT WAS INCLUDED IN THEIR GENERAL PLAN. IN 1990, CALTRANS STUDIED
THE IMPACTS OF ADDITIONAL ALTERNATIVES,AND ALTERNATIVE A-MODIFIED WAS
DEVELOPED IN ORDER TO REDUCE IMPACTS ALONG THE ADOPTED ROUTE.
SUBSEQUENTLY, IN AUGUST. 1992,OUR AGENCY AGAIN REAFFIRMED ITS SUPPORT
FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE BRIDGE AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE ALTERNATIVE
A ALIGNMENT WHEN IT APPROVED THE RTP UPD -rE, AND AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER,
1992, WHEN R APPROVED THE FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM. WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS CONTROVERSIAL
AND OPPOSED BY SOME IN THE COMMUNITY, HOWEVER, REPLACEMENT OF THE
BRIDGE AND REALIGNMENT OF THE HIGHWAY ON ALIGNMENT A-MODIFIED WILL
SOLVE MANY SERIOUS EXISTING TRAFFIC SAFETY AND CONGESTION PROBLEMS.
THE PROJECT HAS BEEN FULLY REVIEWED AND COMMENTED ON BY THE PUBLIC,
AND HAS BEEN CONTINUALLY AND REPEATEDLY SUPPORTED BY THE CITY OF
ATASCADERO AND OUR AGENCY. IN CONCLUSION, WE REQUEST THAT YOU
ADOPT THE PROJECT FINDINGS AND APPROVE THE ROUTE 41/SALINAS RIVER
Y BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT FOR FUTURE CONSIDERATION OF FUNDING.
THANKYOU.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to select a Preferred Alternative
and to obtain approval for proceeding with the project. The
Preferred Alternative for this project is Alternate A-modified.
BACKGROUND
The project to realign Route 41 was formally initiated in April,
1968 when San Luis Obispo County requested the thein Division of
Highways to study a Route Adoption for Route 41. The study was
made, a Project Report written, and a Public Hearing held in May,
1970. In November, 1970, The California Highway Commission
adopted the route location we now refer to as Alternate A.
Work was halted in 1974 due to the oil embargo, : funding shortages
and a different philosophy guiding Caltrans. In 1983, the
California Transportation Commission directed workto resume. A
Project Study Report was prepared in February, '1984, and a
Project Report for Stage I (the bridge replacement' on new
alignment) and an Initial Study/Environmental Assessment covering
the entire project was completed in December, 1987. A Public
Hearing was held in October, 1988 which presented 'Alternates A,
B, and the No Build. Alternate A was put forth as' the preferred
alternate. The accompanying environment4,�,�_ document was a
Negative Declaration/ Finding of No Significant Impact
• (ND/FONSI) . The Federal Highway Admini„etration (FHWA) accepted
the FONSI and final approval was obtained in May, 1991. However,
due to public concerns and a request by the City of Atascadero,
Caltrans prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Report. As a
result of further studies, a new alignment, Alternate A-modified,
was developed to minimize some of the impacts to Pine Mountain
and reduce the amount of cut and fill.
An Informational Meeting was held in March, 1991 to introduce the
new alternate (as well as all rejected- alternates) ' to the public
and to obtain feedback from the public.
A third Public Hearing was held April 23, 1992, presenting
Alternates A, A-modified, B, and the No Build. There was no
preferred alternative.
SELECTION OF THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE
The preferred alternative, Alternate A-modified' was chosen after
considering public input from the three Public Hearings and the
Informational Meeting, the concerns of the city and county staffs
and local residents, and the recommendations from the City of
Atascadero and the San Luis Obispo Area Coordinating Council.
Alternate A-modified addresses both the structural and
operational deficiencies of the Salinas River Bridge as well as
the operational deficiencies of Highway 41 from west of the
1
000041
Highway 101/41 interchange to 1.2 miles east of the Salinas River
Bridge.
Alternate A-modified is very similar to Alternate A with a minor
shift in the horizontal and vertical alignments along Mercedes
Avenue in order to more closely follow the existing. terrain. It
also has steeper cuts and fills. Alternate A-modified saves 155
trees (including 130 oak trees) that would have been taken with
Alternate A. Alternate A-modified will still remove
approximately 265 trees within the city limits of Atascadero
(including 210 oak trees) .
Alternate B addresses the structural and operational deficiencies
of the Salinas River Bridge only. It provides for only a 25 mph
design speed across the river, and does not address the
operational deficiencies of the rest of the highway within the
project limits.
The No Build alternate does not address any of the project needs.
With this alternate, the Salinas River Bridge would remain in its
deteriorating condition. As traffic volumes continue to
increase, the ability of the highway to adequately serve the
public would diminish, the accident rate at the bridge would
continue to increase, and the cost of maintenance would escalate.
The existing bridge would continue to be narrow and restricted to
legal size loads and one lane for trucks, buses and other large
vehicles.
The City of Atascadero and the San Luis' Obispo Area Coordinating •
Council (currently the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments)
have historically been in favor of the Alternate A alignment.
The Alternate A alignment has been included in the City General
Plan since incorporation in 1979, and development has been
planned around the alignment.
DKS Associates, the Circulation Element Consultants for the City
of Atascadero, have made their recommendations to the City in
support of Alternate A or A-modified. Their letter of July 7,
1992 states " . . .the realignment of Highway 41 (Alternate A or
A-modified) provides the best long-term engineering solution for
traffic circulation for Atascadero. "
On July 14, 1992, the City Council of Atascadero voted to accept
DKS's July 7th recommendations and reaffirmed its support by a
3 :2 vote for the adopted alignment and expressed its preference
for Alternate A-modified.
As a result of public and local agency comment, it is recommended
that Alternate A-modified now include a bridge over the ravine at
the entrance to Stadium Park. The addition of the bridge would
maintain the historic access to, and use of, Stadium Park.
Additionally, the bridge would help mitigate for concerns
regarding deer crossing in the Pine Mountain area and would
mitigate for visual impacts associated with the fill option. It
2
0000,17
would also provide for safe access to Stadium Park ,underneath the
. highway rather than across the highway for both the public and
wildlife. The cost of this structure is approximately $600, 000
to $800, 000 more than the cost of fill; however, due to savings
with Alternate A-modified, there is adequate funding to cover the
additional bridge.
In response to a letter from the Department of Fish and Game, it
is recommended that the oak tree mitigation ratio be changed from
5: 1, as proposed in the Draft Environmental Impact 'Report, to one
seedling for each inch of tree diameter removed. This will
approximately triple the replacement ratio.

PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS
Since the project was reinitiated in 1983 , two Pubic Hearings
(1988 and 1992) and one Informational Meeting (1992) have been
held. Additionally, the City of Atascadero held a' Joint City
Council/Planning Commission Meeting in 1988 which included a
Public Hearing on this project.
3
000043
1988 Public Hearing
A Public Hearing was held on October 26, 1988 in the Rotunda of
the City of Atascadero Administration Building. The hearing was
opened at 7: 03 p.m. and presided over by Muriel Evans with 128
people in attendance. It concluded at 10: 50 p.m. The close of
the record was on December 1, 1988.
Twenty-two of the people who attended the public hearing signed
statements for the record. Eleven supported Alternate A, five
opposed Alternate A, and six had other comments and concerns.
Of those who spoke for the record at the public hearing, four
supported Alternate A, and ten were opposed to it.
Included in the Record are written responses from the City of
Atascadero, the County of San Luis Obispo, and the San Luis
Obispo Area Coordinating Council stating their support for
Alternate A. Of the letters received from community
organizations and businesses, six letters expressed preferences.
Three were in favor of Alternate A, two were iW favor of
Alternate B, and one felt the funds could be better used on
nearby Highway 46. Thirty-one letters were received from
individuals. Of those, ten were in favor of Alternate A,
seventeen were opposed to Alternate A, and an additional four
wrote to state other concerns to be addressed if Alternate A is

motives must be called into question. Their refusal to back
their •cwn reoresentative' s assurance that letters and petitions
would be included in the document makes their motives seem clear.
Cal Trans knows that the guidelines requires an EIR if there is
an out pouring of public concern. Cal Trans does not ,want
letters and petitions of over 1 ,000 people to reach Sacramento as
par- of the document. Neither A nor 8 really appeals to her.

can consider this matter with adequate information..

let' s follow it. He is in support of Alternate- A.

VIII. CIRCULATION
This Plan discusses the requirements of all the current �.
methods of transportation in Atascadero. Existing *methods
are presumed to be practical within the terms'' of this Plan,
and circulation improvements are scaled to ' the growth of
all types of transportation uses that are assessed.
Policies related to transportation planning must relate to
feasibility and the estimated cost of improvements to such
intangible variables as the costs to motorists, convenience
between origins and destinations, and accidents and deaths.
The original Atascadero Colony road system was designed for
the automobile as the primary mode of transportation. The
system was laid out- in the form of a wheel, the hub being
the Administration Park and the Central Business District,
and the spokes being principal arteries. ".The outer rim of
the wheel and several inner concentric ..,,roads were also
principal arterials, designed to carry, tfaffic from point
to point without entering the downtown area.
The original streets were laid out with a 40*"'foot right of
way. There are three major factors which have contributed
to the present inadequacy of parts of the circulation.
system. The first of these is the.,. failure to develop and
maintain all roads to their full rAghts of way. Shoulders
either have not'-been developed or have- become overgrown
with weeds- and eroded by- weathel*. Res•ideats have -built `� ...
fences or planted trees and shrubs within the rights of
way. In some instances, utility poles have been located
too close to the pavement.
These occurrences have resulted in some roads being narrower
than planned, with few or no facilities for', pedestrians,
bicyclists and equestrian traffic. A second: factor is the
failure of the Central Business District to develop in the
_ areas envisioned in Lewis' plan. Due to laek of planning
in the past, the commercial area has grown 1 along the El
Camino Real corridors. This strip commercial development
has created traffic and parking problems. The third factor
was the bisection of the town in 1954 by Freeway -101 . The
introduction of the freeway interrupted east -west traffic
flow, and too few grade separation crossings ' were added to
compensate for the traffic interruption.
The 200—mile Colony road system has six components :
Freeway and Highways, Arterials Divided, Arterials Undi—
vided, Collectors, Local Streets and Paper Streets. Road
classifications are indicated on LAND USE AND CIRCULATION
MAP.

OOOOGS
driveway access , be similar to that of surrounding -City
streets to minimize any appearance of bisecting the commu-
nity . When rerouting of Highway 41 does take place ,
adequate pedestrian and bicycle pathways shall be provided.
Divided Arterials - -
The two arterials are E1 Camino Real and Morro Road. They
serve as major highways linking Atascadero with other
communities, and they channel traffic to different parts of
town.
Divided arterials shall be developed in two lengths: on E1
Camino Real from Rosario to San Diego Road and on Morro Road
from E1 Camino Real to San Gabriel Road.
The divided arterials shall also have a -paving width that
will accommodate four 'traffic lanes ,;;�arallel parking
. strips, bicycle lanes and curbs and sidewalks.
Undivided Arterials
These roads serve as major access routes between residential
areas, shopping centers , employment centers and primary
recreation areas. Roads "in thislassification must have
shoulders wide enough to accommodate multi-use paths and
emergency parking. :
There are fourteen segments of undivided arterials:
1 . Atascadero Avenue from Morro Road to Freeway 101
provided major access to Santa Rosa Road Elemen-
tary School . It is noted for heavy traffic and
lack of shoulders.
2. Traffic Way from El Camino Real to Potrero Road and a
future extension of Traffic Way beyond Potrero Road to
El Camino Real as a truck route. The portion of
Traffic Way between El Camino Real and Olmeda Avenue is
also designated to have 40 feet of paving to allow for
two eight-foot parking strips on both sides of the
arterial.
3• Curbaril Avenue from Morro Road to the Salinas River "
crossing is a major local traffic route and is also
characterized by lack. of adequate shoulders for
non-automobile traffic.
4. Portola Road from Morro Road to Ardilla Road to San
Anselmo Road to Freeway 101 .

Circulation Policy Proposals
I . Freeways and major highways shAll be effectiv..ely � ..
landscaped to screen urban land use's and improve
community appearance. Refer to Chapter '%III, COMMUNITY
APPEARANCE.
2. Outdoor advertising signs shall be eliminated along=
freeways and major highways. -
3• Highway 41 shall be realigned and improved northerly
of Freeway 101 along the adopted Mercedes alignment.
4• Design of the roadway along the Mercedes alignment
should minimize visual impacts to Pine Mountain and
should mitigate concerns associated with bisection of
the community.
5• In the rerouting of Highway 41 , a,4equate pedestrian
and bicycle paths shall be provided..
6. Construction of a heavy-duty bridge across Atascadero
Creek linking Lewis Avenue with Santa Ysabel 'shall be
programmed immediately.
7. Pathways on streets near schools shall' be constructed
as soon as practical. ' '
8. Elevation of U.-S. 101 to p'rermit vehicular traffic on �•>
Atascadero Mall from- El Camino Reirr, to: Atas-cad•ero
Avenue shall be programmed by CalTrans and the Division
of Highways.
9. New street extensions on unimproved rights of way- shall
be developed to reasonable improvement standards.
10. Greyhound Bus Lines shall be encouraged to acquire a
new permanent terminal site near the Central Business
District, close to freeway access.
11 . Plan lines shall be established for all urban arterials
and local collectors ' and appropriate setbacks insti-
tuted.
12. A more complete and adequate directional signing,
program shall be initiated.
13. A high priority shall be given to projects -which are
designed to improve the safety of existing transporta-

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
VIA: Ray Windsor, City Manager
FROM: Greg Luke,. Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: supplemental Report from DKS Associates
DATE: July 9, 1992
The enclosed report has been' prepared by DKS Associates, the
City's- consultant preparing the update to the General Plan's
Circulation Element. The report which 'addresses the Highway 41
alignment is self-explanatory; staff has no further analysis or
comment to add.
A technical correction needs to be madam in the second
paragraph of under the "Background" discussion. The report states
that ,"-. ..no decision has yet been made , either by the City Of
Atascadero or Caltrans to select an alternative."' More correctly,
no final decision has been made by the City or Caltrans.
Previously, the City Council., indicated a preference for the-
Alternative A alignment, -reserving a Zfnal decision until the
Environmental Impact- Report was complete. - '•The Alternative A
specified in the General Plan: `-More recently a
alignment is also p
"straw vote" taken by the previous Council indicated opposition to
the Alternative A alignment.
For your information, Mr_ Mike Multari, Consulting Project
` Manager for the preparation of the updated Circulation Element,
will be at the meeting available for questions.

Supplemental Report -
Route 41 Alignment
Presented to
Atascadero City Council
By
DKS Associates
Circulation Element Consultants--
;# July 7, 1992
The following report was prepared at the request of t& Luke, Public Works Director, and is
intended to bring to your attention our need for Council direction or approval of a course of
action regarding Route 41 improvements as input to the Circulation Element Update of the
Atascadero General Plan.
Background '
The project team has completed all of the background research regarding gadding traffic patterns and
volumes for the.City. We have conducted two public meetings, the Fust to discuss and solicit
inputs on existing transportation issues and needs,and the second to dis'uss future transportation
needs and alternatives. We are now at the point where a draft Circulation Element is to be
prepared under the terms of our agreement with the City. A key component of the Circulation
Element is a Plan which shows the ultimate roadway system to serve the:,City upon buildout. The
draft Circulation Element is scheduled for completion by late August.
One of the critical issues affecting the Circulation Plan is,the future'loeation of Highway 4L
Caltrans has prepared a DEIR addressing alternative Route 41 improvements east of El Camino
Real and has held a public hearing but, to our knowledge, no decision has yet been made either
by the City of Atascadero or Caltrans to select an alternative. We:: are aware of the local
controversy and lack of consensus about the future Highway 41 10c4tion. The issue was a
dominant subject at the two workshops held to discuss the Circulation dement.
Technical Evaluation.
Kay traffic engineering factors affecting the route decision are given below. Please note that
Caltrans'DER discusses the environmental impacts of all of the alternative routes; it is not the
intention of this report to repeat this information.

1. The existing Highway 41 route (No Build or Alternative B) will not adequately serve the
future east-west traffic circulation needs of the city, placing undesirably high traffic volumes
on existing streets.
2. Of particular concern is Curbaril Avenue. With the existing route, Caltrans has projected
8,500 vehicles per day(total of both directions)by 2015,or about twice the existing volume,
west of the Salinas River_ Our own projections are for 6,600 daily vehicles on Curbaril
Avenue west of the bridge, increasing to almost 12,000 dee across the aver. Traffic volumes

in excess of 5,000 daily vehicles (and sometimes as low as 3.
unacceptable to people living on the street. The Caltrans and DKS traffic projections well
exceed the level of traffic acceptable for a residential collector street. Presence of truck
traffic would further impact the residents. .
Moreover, the traffic growth would require improving Curbanl Avenue to anarterial
to etc. , r lett
of two to four lanes with left turn pockets,limited side access,full sized shoulders,
the four lane width being needed near El Camino Real. The right-of-way would not only
be expensive, but would severely impact or displace existing residences along Curbaril
Avenue "These improvement needs are not provided for in the Route 41 improvement plan
under Alternative B or No Build and.would , (ore be a local (City) responsibility for
funding. • • �_

Mall, Capistrano and Sycamore. About 4,600 daily vehicles (two-way total) p j
on Capistrano.as compared to 3,600 daily vehicles at present. The projected traffic increase
would negatively impact the residents along Capistrano, with traffic levels at or closely
approaching the acceptable limits. The schools on West Mail would also be adversely
impacted.
Although this route is designated as Route 41 and is therefore eligible for State funding,the
DEIR points out that it would nt feasible

project that the realignment would reduce traffic on Curbard Avenue by 4,000 daily vehicles.
This would result in acceptable traffic volumes on the east end of Curbaril.Avenue and
would avoid the aced for upgrading Curbaril to arterial status in the future. Traffic volumes
near El Camino Real would stili be higher than desirable for a residential street, but could
be accommodated by a two lane road.

DKS Associates
S. Any of the alternative routes for Highway 41 would impose a heavy traffic load on the-
Intersection of El Camino Real with Curbaal Avenue. Our analysis indicates that this is the
most congcsted interscctioa today. With-the existing Highway 41 alignment maintained,
future traffic Is projected to exceed the capacity of the intersection by some 30 percent. It
is unlikely that this intersection could be mitigated to as acceptable level of service.
Realignment of Highway 41 would reduce traffic at the El Camino Real Intersection.
Although still above capacity, resulting traffic levels would be more readily accommodated
by feasible intersection improvements.
6. Our analysis indicates that the Morro Road, Curbaril and Traffic Way interchanges with
Highway 101 will all ultimately need major improvements if the existing Highway 41
alignment is maintained
At the 101 freeway ramp intersections with Curbaril Avenue, tinning lanes are limited and
right-of-way is narrow. In addition, CurbanTs intersection with'!El Camino Real and the
Curbanl on and off tamps are far enough apart to make combined signal timing difficult.
Yet the two intersections are close enough together to interfere with one another.
The Traffic Way intersection at both El Camino Real and 101 is highly constrained by many
factors, including existing buildings;roadway elc tlonal differences and numerous other
. factors. '"
7. With realignment of Highway.41, more of the future traffic will'be concentrated into the
Morro Road interchange. This will accelerate the aced for imQroving the Morro Road
intcrchan&but should avoid or at least postpone the aced for major improvements at the
Carbaril and Traffic Way interchanges, both of which would '!be difficult to fund and
construct
Caltrans' current proposal is to construct traffic signals at the Highway 101/Morro
interchange as a part of realigning Highway 41. While this is only a "band-aid"solution, it
docs provide near term relief from additional traffic rnterconnecting the signals with state-
of-the-art tinting techniques will minimize the wait time at this intersection-
In the longer range future the Public Works Department, ''San Luis Obispo Area
Coordinating Council (SLOACC), and Caltrans will need to develop an Improved camp
configuration. A Project Study Report is proposed by SLOACC for this fiscal year to study
alternative ramp configurations. Our initial review of the area shows that several promising
alternatives that may provide a Long-term solution to the problem. Our final report w0I
show some of these potential solutions. While no funding for the Morro Road interchange
improvements has been identified, being an interchange between two state routes provides
better prospects in the future than for the other two interchanges.

4. CIRCULATION ELEMENT COMPLETION - LETTER FROM CONSULTANT RE:
HIGHWAY 41 -
Greg Luke provided the staff report. He explained that DKS &
Associates was seeking direction for a course of action regarding
Route 41 improvements as input to the Circulation Element and noted
that DKS was recommending the "Alternate A-Modified" route.
The City Manager, responding to inquiry from Councilman Kudlac;
remarked that Caltrans has indicated. that it wanted City input by
early August and without it would proceed in late August.
Councilwoman Borgeson asserted that the Council bbd asked for a
full EIR before making a final decision on the , Eealignment and
expressed disapproval for being asked to make that kind of decision
now, before the EIR has been certified..
Councilman Luna inquired about costs associated with amending the
Circulation Element if the alternative is changed. Greg Luke
projected a cost of about $10,000 or approximately 10% of the
project cost.
Councilman Kudlac- voiced support for A-Modified. '~ •
Public Comments:
Russ Kolemaine, Box 1919 Atascadero, contended that economic
impacts have not been adequately addressed by the EIR and indicated
that he hoped the Council would direct staff to initiate research
on what impact the realignment would have on property values. _
Peter Booni.sar, 5212 Magdelena, urged the Council not to make a
decision without a final EIR and public hearing. He criticized the
draft EIR, claiming that it was inadequate, and reported that he
had filed a complaint with the Grand Jury. He shared concern for
traffic problems in the downtown as a result of the project and
pondered why DKS & Associates had not considered the option of re-
routing traffic up 101 to Paso Robles. In addition, Mr. Boon1sar
mentioned that he was wondering whether, if the A-Modified
alternative is approved, garbage would be hauled from other areas
of the County to the Cold Canyon Landfill.
Joan O'Keefe, 9985 Old Morro Road East, asked the Council how the
public would know if there was a conflict of interest on the part

of any member of the Council. Mayor Nimmo stated that this was not
the topic of discussion. Ms. O'Keefe, speaking to the issue, read
a prepared statement (Exhibit A) voicing opposition to the
Alternatives A or A-Modified and. suPP ort for Alternative B.
The City Attorney invited Ms. O'Keefe to speak to him personally if
she has questions regarding conflict of interest.
Livia Kellerman, 5463 Honda, implored the Council to not make a
decision until all consequences of each alternative have been
studied and a full public hearing has been held.
Dorothy McNeil, 8765 Sierra Vista Road, asked the mayor why the
Council was being asked to make a decision before certifying the
EIR. Mayor Nimmo clarified the intent of the agenda item. Ms_
McNeil spoke in support of Alternative B.
Whitey Thorpe, 8025 Santa Ynez, urged the Council.ta go ahead and
approve the alternative the community has supported 'for years.
Jan Bewley, 7955 San Gregorio Road, reported that she had helped
acquire 1,600 to 1,700 signatures in support of ArModified and
remarked that the majority of the citizens of Atascadero favored
that alternative.
Eric Greening asserted that it was not the responsibility of the
taxpayers statewide to address the local-rPt-raffic stivation. In
addition, he urged the Council to ask DKS :s& Associates:to* make the {
assumption that either alternative could 1be selecte'd--'and, ftiilm-6r, `4
that they wait on a final decision until the Final '; EIR has been
approved.
Virginia Powers, 7505 Carmelita, read a portion of a letter she was
sending to Governor Pete Wilson in support of using the limited
funds available to construct Alternative B and repair an unsafe
bridge along the route. Her letter also asked that if this
alternative was not selected by Caltrans, that the Governor send to
Atascadera a representative who could explain the justification for
the "monstrous waste of taxpayers' money".
Eric Michielssen, 5300 Aguila, remarked that the DKS' study covers
many aspects of traffic, not just the Highway 41 issue, and
stressed the importance of making a decision and not delaying the
Circulation Element.
---End of Public Testimony---
MOTION: By Mayor Nimmo, seconded by Councilman Kudlac that the
Council accept the DKS & Associates Supplemental Report
dated July 7, 1992 and concur with the conclusions and
CC07/14/92
Page 10
0000'78
recommendations of that report.
Discussion of the motion: Councilwoman Borgeson stated that
it was premature to give direction to DKS. Councilman Luna
agreed.
Councilman Kudlac asked the Public Works Director to respond
to Mr. Boonisar' s comments regarding use of the Chicago Grade
Landfill by other parts of the County: Mr. Luke remarked that
the matter was complex and would provide Council with a
memorandum identifying potential problems regarding the
landfill as a result of the realignment. Councilman Kudlac
then asked when Caltrans needs a final decision on the
proposed project. Mr. Luke stated that Caltrans has indicated
it wants a final decision from the City by the end of August
(1992) .
Councilman Bewley asked if the motion on floor-would represent
a formal recommendation to Caltrans. Mr. win
tsor emphasized
that the Caltrans representative and cooiainator -ofthe
project had related that no further public hearings were
intended and was looking for a final determination by the City
no later than the early part of August. In the absence of
that decision by the City, he was told on the phone, Caltrans
would go ahead and make its, own decision by the end of
August. Councilman Bewley, clarif Ang the intent of the
s motion, remarked .that the decision pe'`seatly before Council
} was, in essence, giving formal support for,_-the: A-modifj ed
tt realignment. Mayor Nimmo agreed.
Vote on the motion,: Motion carried 3:2 (Councilmembers
Borgeson and Luna voting in opposition) .
5. LETTER FROM DOUG LEWIS REGARDING MISCELLANEOUS TRAFFIC AND
CIRCULATION ISSUES
The City Manager reported that staff was looking for direction and
suggested that Council refer the matter back to staff, and possibly
to DRS & Associates, to examine concerns addressed. in Mr. Lewis'
letter (July 7, 1992) in conjunction with the Circulation Element.
Atascadero resident Doug Lewis stated that he felt the issues he
was raising should be considered separately from the Circulation
Element.
By consensus, Council referred the matter back to staff for
examination and possible referral to consultants for study.

Fifteen million dollars for a band aid! These are the

redirecting traffic off Curbaril to the 41-E1 ',Camino Real

Alternate A will pull traffic off Curbaril and down to El

responsible for the cities circulation problems? This isn' t
about traffic on the present routing of FWY A l'' through the
City. This is about temporarily redirectinQ�ytrlffic £tom one

There is no overriding health, safety or welfare issue th

RE: Draft EIR for Bridge Replacement and Realignment on Route 41
in and near the City of Atascadero; February 1992
Dear Mr. Ruggerone,
At their May 12, 1992 meeting, tYe Atascadero City Council
addressed five substantive issues relative to the Draft EIR for the
Highway 41 bridge replacement and realignment project. Of the
following issues, the Council was unanimous in their decision on
the first three, and voted three to two on issues number 4 and 5 .
1. Stadium Park Bridge (Pages 9. & 36) . The EIR acknowledges that
the proposed 45 foot height of fill at the entrance to Stadium
Park could be mitigated by construction of a bridge, which is
indicated to cost $600, 000 and would be at local expense. The
City notes that Alternate A Modified (which was developed in
response to earlier City comments to lessen environmental
impacts) saves $800, 000 over the original Alternate A project
design. That savings should absorb the cost of a Stadium Park
Bridge.
2 . Traffic Signals at El Camino Real and Highway 41 and Highway
101 (Page 8) . These improvements, together with additional
left turn lanes at this location, are proposed as mitigation
for impacts associated with Alternate A or alternate A
Modified. These improvements should also be included as
mitigation for Alternate B.
3. Population (Page 29) . The Environmental Impact Report quotes
County population projections of 47, 423 persons for Atascadero0
6500 PALMA AVENUE • ATASCADERO, CA 93422 (805) 461-5010 000081
:s
for the year of 2015 . The EIR should affirm that 'theholding
capacity of the City' s most recently adopted General Plan is
31, 150 persons.
4 . Long Range Design of Highway 101/41 Interselotion. The EIR
makes no commitment for a long range plan for' the appropriate
design of this State Highway Interchange. iThat commitment._
should be a follow-up action to the EIR regardless of which
alternative is approved.
5 . Intersection of Highway 41 and Capistrano Ave. The EIR' s
discussion of traffic impacts at the intersection of Highway
41 and Capistrano Avenue, for both Alternate '.A and Alternate
A Modified, appears to be understated. The traffic impacts of
both alternatives at that intersection should be further
.evaluated.
Thank you for this opportunity to review and comment on the Draft
EIR. As you requested, Council will dicus,s the various
alternatives presented and select- a preferred "option in the near
future.
If we can provide further clarification of the issues noted above, '
please don't hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
