On behalf of the City of Arroyo Grande, I am formally requesting that District 5 either
recommend approval or prepare a letter of rejection relative to the last project alternative
pertaining to the Brisco Interchange project, with specific findings outlined in detail. It is
our intent to enter into the formal appeal process and if necessary, pursue this matter
through the legislative process.
We have been in the planning stages for this project for nearly twelve years. Many
project alternatives have been designed and subsequently rejected by your staff. On
each occasion, they have sent us back to "further study" other alternatives. We have
incurred extensive contract engineering costs only to experience additional rejections and
delays by your staff. As a result, we remain ineligible for programmed funding through
the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG).
It is evident that the Cal Trans Design Exception policies are and have been
inconsistently applied to interchange and ramp configurations throughout San Luis
Obispo County. The Design Exception policies are clearly written with no concern for
surface street congestion relief in and around state mainlines. "Preserving the safety of
the state mainline" is the mantra we have heard for years from your staff. It has been put
forth as the justification for inflexible and impractical design restrictions. If this were valid
and consistently applied criteria, then many of the existing ramp configurations in San
Luis Obispo County as well as statewide should be closed.
Moreover, the current Cal Trans policies appear indifferent to the problems associated
with severe surface street congestion, to include excessive vehicle idle time and
increased emissions. As such, our City views these policies as being inconsistent with
the tenets of AB-32 and SB-375.

Cal Trans District 5
At the last planning meeting, your technical staff suggested that we simply close the
Brisco Ramps for a longer period of time to "further study" the impact. Please be
informed that we are emphatically rejecting this proposal. The ramps will remain open
until we have an approved alternative that relocates the access to Hwy 101 along West
Branch Street preferably at Old Ranch Road. We have demonstrated that the closure of
the Brisco Ramps with no further mitigation will only exacerbate the queuing problems at
Camino Mercado and Oak Park. Our citizens, while realizing ashort-term improvement
to traffic flow under the bridge at Brisco, will be faced with longer-term congestion
problems at these other intersections in the years to come.
We have attempted on several occasions to describe in detail the plans for increased
intensity of use along West Branch Street. We are in the process of acquiring land from
the County at Rodeo Drive and West Branch for our new Public Safety Building. We are
raising funds and are involved in planning for a new Community Sports Facility at Old
Ranch Road and West Branch. This facility will be used for regional youth basketball
tournaments. Finally, the build out of 5 Cities Center Phase II as well as additions to
Phase I will add a significant influx of regional traffic along West Branch. Your staff
remains indifferent to these realities.
We have been informed many times by your staff that any project alternative would have
to mitigate future traffic flow for a minimum of 20 years into the future. Our last submittal
accomplishes this. Yet it appears that your staff has now chosen to ignore their own
policy with the inference that the closure of the Brisco Ramps with no additional mitigation
is an acceptable long-term solution.
To conclude, we intend to formally appeal on a "point-by-point" basis, the rationale for
rejecting our last submittal. Therefore we are once again requesting that you either
approve our project or issue a formal letter of rejection with comprehensive justification to
support the denial.
Please address all further correspondence concerning this matter to our City Manager,
Steve Adams. He can be reached at (805) 473-5408.

Tony Ferrara

FROM: DON SPAGNOLO, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER
BY: MIKE LINN, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AN AWARD OF CONTRACT TO D-KAL
ENGINEERING, INC. FOR THE CITY PARKING LOT Ss BIOSWALE
IMPROVEMENTS AND THE CROWN HILL STREET AND CORBETT
CANYON ROAD SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT, PW 2008-
07A
DATE: MAY 26, 2009
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council:
award a contract for the City Parking Lot &Bioswale Improvements and the
Crown Hill Street & Corbett Canyon Road Sidewalk Improvements, PW 2008-
07A, to D-Kal Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $173,296.83;
2. authorize the City Manager, to approve change orders for 10% of the contract
amount, $17,330.00, for unanticipated costs during the construction phase of the
project (total construction costs = $173,296.83 + $17,330.00 = $190,626.83);
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The FY 2008/09 Capital Improvement Program includes $343,467 for construction of
the Crown Hill Sidewalks, of which $322,837 is available as $20,630 has been used for
design and conVact administration. The FY 2008/09 Capital Improvement Program

PROJECT, PW 2008-07A
MAY 26, 2009
PAGE 2
On May 19, 2009, six bids were opened. The lowest responsible and responsive bid for
all of the schedules, from D-Kal Engineering, Inc., was in the amount of $173,296.83.
Staff has determined the bid to be responsive and recommends the award of a
construction contract to D-Kal Engineering, Inc.
The contract time is 60 calendar days. Work is expected to begin in June 2009 and
complete by the end of August 2009.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The Crown Hill (Paulding Middle School) Sidewalk project consists of the construction
of curb, gutter, sidewalk and retaining wall improvements along the frontage of four
residential lots on Crown Hill. The project also includes the construction of pedestrian
improvements along the existing frontage roadway on Crown Hill between Paulding
Middle School and Corbett Canyon Road (State Route 227) and on Corbett Canyon
Road (State Route 227) between Crown Hill and Le Point Street. This project is being
funded in part by the State's Safe Routes to School (SR2S) grant program.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
• Approve staffs recommendations to award a construction contract to the lowest
responsive bidder;
• Do not award a construction contract at this time;
• Provide direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
The construction of the sidewalks shall be performed during the summer months to
avoid potential traffic congestion in the vicinity of the Paulding Middle School.
Construction of the bioswale will complete the City's obligations under a settlement
agreement with the Water Quality Board.
DISADVANTAGES:
Due to the favorable bidding climate, the lowest responsive bidder is below the
engineers estimate and within the construction budget. Delaying and/or rebidding the
project may not provide further benefits to the City.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Sections 15301 and 15332.

Subject: Cherry Creek Project- History
Your May 26th, 2009 Meeting
Gentlemen:
RECEIVED
MAY 2 6 7008
ARROYO GRANDE
„`_'. MiNISTRATIVE SERVICES
It has come to my attention that some of the information provided to
you for this meeting is very incorrect and that some history is in order!
First, you have a paragraph from staff that begins, "The city has
received requests from the residents on Noguera Plan to abandon the
existing utility and drainage easement located at the rear of their
property."
It is the Noguera Tract 409, the easement is on our property and
these requests Gave been made for over 20 years.
The second sentence, "The easement was originally obtained as an
alternate route for the proposed drainage."
What proposed drainage? The regional proposed drainage?The
Cherry Creek proposed drainage? The Walnut View Estates drainage?
We are talking 1972 when we talk of the Noguera Tract 409 Drainage.
I quote a city letter of July lOth,1972 from Glen E. Felmlee,
construction inspector, to J. E. Anderson, Jr., director of public works,
"I am also reviewing the possibility of using the temporary ditch to be
constructed , on Tract 409 along the easterly property line. Ma Adams
felt that it would be feasible and practical to utilize this temporary ditch
for irrigation and would propose to construct both inlets and outlets , at
his expense, as needed. I would recommend that consideration be given
to his request. I also feel that legal aspects of these items
may need consideration." Does this sound like a drainage project?
I quote a second letter dated July 19th, 1972 Subj: Developement
on Tract #409, from J. E. Anderson, dir. of public works, copy to
construction inspector, city adminstrator, and Mr. and Mrs. Stillwell. I
quote paragraph #4 "Ability of the ditch on the east side of the tract to
carry flood waters. An asphalt lined ditch was required to be
constructed along the east side of this development to direct flood
waters, sheet flowing off of adjacent property northerly across Myrtle
Ave., along Stanley Ave. to the Arroyo Grande creek. We feel that this
is a temporary ditch in that development of the property to the east will
eventually require a major drainage structure diverting these flood
waters in a more direct route to the Arroyo Grande creek. It was also
asked why a conduit could not be used at this location rather than an
open ditch. It is the staff s feeling that a pipe size that would take care
of all possible drainage would not be economically feasible and that the
present construction will take care of the situation adequately. "
Also I quote paragraph #7. "Use of the drain ditch on the east
side of tract for irrigation water. An adjacent property owner" ,Mr.
Stillwell,"has asked that be be permitted to use this drain ditch for
irrigation of his walnut orchard on the north side of Myrtle street.
"This is a typo as his orchard is on the south side of Myrtle as is
obvious from the staff reply. "Staff sees no immediate problem with this
request but would require some engineering studies or proposals as to
the amount and methods of conveyance across Myrtle Ave. before this
can be approved."
Oh, did I mention that the developer of Tract 409, Addison Wood,
happens to be the same Addison Wood that was Mayor of the City?
Apparently Mr. Stillwell was told by both the City and the Developer
that it was OK to use the ditch for his flood irrigation!! It is my
understanding that agricultural run-off may not legally be diverted
onto residential property!
As far as the city considering the legal and engineering aspects of
the above, perhaps the letter of July 24th, 1972 from Robert S. Gering,
Jr., city engineer to J. E. Anderson, Director of Public Works is the
city's justifaction and I quote," Adequacy of the ditch is satisfactory for
carrying off drainage, which has a source directly upstream. It will also
provide for the errant waters escaping from Newsom Springs channel
with a minimum of flooding upstream, and I anticipate no more
flooding than is experienced now."
I would like to point out that at the time the Newsom Springs
channel drained primarly down the south side of the Arroyo Grande
valley due to farming on the Dixon Ranch .The water went through the
4 x 8 box culvert under Branch Mill road on the south side of the valley.
That box culvert currently has about a 2 foot opening. Since then you
have allowed the Walnut View Estates project to almost cut off the flow
down the south side of that project. Also, as an agricultural buffer you
have built a dam across the south west side of Branch Mill Road all the
way the intersection of Branch Mill and Cherry Ave. "Drive by and
look!!"
While you have collected $250,000 from that project to help pay
for the needed drainage improvements, you have obstructed the prior
water flow and directed all errant floodwaters directly into the Noguera
Tract 409.
The same paragraph from staff goes on It has been a goal of the
project to eliminate the need for this easement through the other
proposed drainage improvements." In fact ,you removed the need for
the Noguera easement when you put the current easement through the
Stillwell property. Of course, this was not done until the last flooding of
Noguera Tract 409, which demonstrated to the city and the Noguera
residents the true effects of the Walnut View Estates Project.
The next sentence from staff, "The City has received a
correspondence from the applicant's project engineer that recommends
maintaining the easement for potential over flow purposes (attachment
3)."This letter from Mr. Scott Stokes ,PE 58256,states "he was
requested to review the Noguera Tract 409 and he feels that the City
should not entertain the idea of abandoning the existing easement at
this time. "His first reason is that it is a PiTE and it is unclear if it is
being used as such. I guess his review did not include looking and the
plot plans and checking for any up dates. The utilities for the Noguera
Tract 409 are in the street and the 6 foot PUE next to the street as per
plan and there has never been any PiTE use at the east side of Tract 409.
Second, "Based on his visual inspection the lots appear to use the
drainage ditch for rear lot drainage and they would have to be re-
graded and reconfigured for the easement to be abandoned. "Again, a
simple review of the Tract 409 plans would show him to be incorrect.
Thirdly, he states ; 'The drainage easement could provide extra
protection from flooding that would reach the Branch Mill, East
Cherry Avenue intersection." In fact, the existing Noguera Tract
easement does not provide protection, if left in place it guaranties
flooding of the Noguera Tract. You must realize that the Noguera Tract
lots next to this easement are 2 to 3 feet lower than the intersection at
Branch Mill and East Cherry, also that the plot plan you have approved
for the Cherry Creek project requires a 2 foot retaining wall next to
most of the Noguera tract easement. You have put the Noguera Tract
residents in a hole and by providing a path for flood water into this hole
you are not protecting us, you are insuring that we will continue to be
flooded.
He is telling you," As engineer of record for the project, we have
designed the drainage channel through the project to handle the 100-
yearstorm flow-including 1' of freeboard." I hope his engineering skill
in much better than his review of the Noguera Tract easement and his
other advise to you! His last recommendation does not limit your
liability, it ensures it.
If you have any desire to reduce you liability and provide any
protection to the Noguera Tract , I would like to suggest that you
require the developer of Cherry Creek to install an eight foot retaining
walUfence on the west side of their project from East Cherry to Myrtle
street. This would provide the 2 foot retaining wall required to raise
their westerly lots to drain into their project as is necessary and give
Noguera residents some protection from the 2 to 3 foot waterfall which
could otherwise be created from the Branch MiIU East Cherry Ave into
the Noguera Place lots if the drainage design is flawed.
In summary, while I hope you will be able to go forward with the
Cherry Creek project to obtain the regional drainage solution, you need
to make the removal of the Noguera Tract easement a condition of
approval for this project. I would like to remind you that the Noguera
ditch was designed to have a minimum depth of 6 inches across it's
maximum 8 foot span. Folks that is an area of 2 square feet. Please
review the size of the drainage structure across the Cherry Creek
project.
Thank you for your consideration.
