Thank you. attachment ~~ ~ cA~x~~ OFFICE of the MAYtJR May 26, 2009 Mr. Richard Krumholtz, Director Cal Trans District 5 50 Higuera Street San Luis Obispo, CA. 93401-5415 Attachment 2 P.O. Box 550 214 East Branch Street Arroyo Grande, CA 93421 Phone: (805) 473-5404 FAX: (805) 473-U38f E-Mall: agcity~Sa arroyogra~ RE: Request for Formal Refection of the Brisco / Halcyon / 101 Interchanoe Project Dear Mr. Krumholtz: 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. Page Two May 29, 2009 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.

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 includes $56,000 for the City Hall Bioswale, of which $45,537 is available as $10,463 has been used for design and contract administration. BACKGROUND: On April 28, 2009, the City Council approved the construction documents for the City Parking Lot &Bioswale Improvements and the Crown Hill Street & Corbett Canyon Road Sidewalk Improvements Project. Agenda Item 8.p. Page 1 CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF AN AWARD OF CONTRACT TO D-KAL ENGINEERING, INC. FOR THE CITY PARKING LOT & BIOSWALE IMPROVEMENTS AND THE CROWN HILL STREET & CORBETT CANYON ROAD SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS 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.

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. ~~C" .--"--~ Larry Turner 323 Noguera Place Arroyo Graude ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ï ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» î ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» í ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ì ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ë ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ê ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» é ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» è ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ç ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ïð ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ïï ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ïî ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ïí ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ïì ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ïë ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ïê ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ïé ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ïè ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ïç ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» îð ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» îï ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» îî ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» îí ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» îì ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» îë ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» îê ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» îé ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» îè ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» îç ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» íð ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» íï ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» íî ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» íí ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» íì ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» íë ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» íê ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» íé ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» íè ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» íç ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ìð ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ìï ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ìî ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ìí ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ìì ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ìë ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ìê ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ìé ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ìè ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ìç ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ëð ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ëï ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ëî ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ëí ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ëì ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ëë ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ëê ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ëé ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ëè ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» ëç ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» êð ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» êï ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» êî ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» êí ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» êì ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» êë THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ çò¾ò п¹» êê ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ ïïò¿ò п¹» ï ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ ïïò¿ò п¹» î ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ ïïò¿ò п¹» í ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ ïïò¿ò п¹» ì ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ ïïò¿ò п¹» ë ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ ïïò¿ò п¹» ê ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ ïïò¿ò п¹» é ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ ïïò¿ò п¹» è ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ ïïò¿ò п¹» ç ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ ïïò¿ò п¹» ïð ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ ïïò¿ò п¹» ïï THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK ß¹»²¼¿ ׬»³ ïïò¿ò п¹» ïî
