CC 2015-02-10 Supplemental InfoMEMORANDUM TO: CITY COUNCIL FROM: ROBERT MC FALL, INTERIM CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION -AGENDA ITEM 11.d. STATUS UPDATE AND CONSIDERATION FOR SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM OPERATION OF ELM STREET PARK OFF-LEASH DOG PARK DATE: FEBRUARY 10, 2015 Attached is supplemental information relating to the subject agenda item, including correspondence from Foreverlawn West, Inc., and product information on various types of synthetic turf and artificial grass. c: City Attorney Director of Recreation Services City Clerk Public Review Binder S1~bject: Why K9Grass for Dog Parks? From: "Brian McGibbon" <brian@foreverlawnwest.com> Date: Fri, January 23, 2015 12:18 pm To: <jrodgers@arroyogrande.org> Cc:. <rick@fieldofgreen.com> Hi John, Rick asked me to send you this quick email. I understand you are considering a 2. 75 inch or 1. 75 inch pile unitary backed product for a dog park? That would be similar to many of our products that we would use for landscaping, even if people have a few dogs, fyi. That is a fine product for a back yard, I am sure. However, for a dog park, this is why I do not recommend that sort of product: • It is not designed for dogs. It is typical landscape turf. • MANY dogs on that type of turf will lead to A LOT of urine and fecal matter on the turf • The fecal matter has to completely qecompose before it can be "flushed" out of that backing·. • Fecal matter leads to bacteria, and possibly parvo and giardia. • The taller pile height allows for the fecal matter and urine to get trapped in the turf, and that also leads to odors • Would you put a shag carpet in a kitchen? A bathroom around the toilet? • If you did put carpet in a kitchen or bathroom, it would be SHORT pile, and easy to clean up, right? • K9Grass not only has an anti-microbial component, it is a short pile with a knit backing • Poop is easy to clean up off of K9Grass, but not off of taller pile height landscape turf. • Water and urine flushes through K9Grass knit backing immediately -even any poop not picked up can be pushed through K9Grass with water pressure. • The unique knit construction of the K9Grass is unique to K9Grass. • K9GRASS is a NO INFILL product. The Turf International product will require sand and rubber, or all sand. • Sand and rubber, or all sand, is just another place for fecal matter to get trapped. • With K9Grass, if maintained and installed properly, you will not have odor issues. With ~LL other turf you will. · • Architects and designers of pet facili'ties always specify K9Grass. • Any turf factory can claim a product is a "dog product." However, you have to examine the products, run them under a faucet, and consider how many dogs will be on the turf. • When you have problems with other turf, you will have regrets, and intelligent people with a little internet searching will say "HOW COME WE DID NOT DO OUR PARK WITH THE RIGHT STUFF?! WHY DIDN'~(WE 'USE K9GRASS?" · Take a look at the backing and product here: http://www.k9grass.com/prC?duct. html The issues and reasons why that turf you have specified is wrong is the 'same reason a shag carpet is wrong for a kitchen. It is simply THE WRONG FLOORING MATERIAL FOR THE APPLICATION. It is a fine product for other applications, but .not recommended for a dog park. Pretty and natural looking should not be strong considerations. It has to be practical. Taller turf is not practical, especially if dogs are using the turf as a potty or bathroom. FQR A DOG PARK -The Kentucky Blue 1. 75" pile is not practical. IT IS TOO TALL, WRONG BACKING, and will hold odor and bacteria. However, if it is an exercise yard only, and NOT USED AS A GIANT DOG POTTY -then it and plenty of products may work, especially if they have stronger yarns that can handle the heavy traffic of dogs. Let me know if you have_ an~ questions. We appreciate your interest in Field of Green and ForeverLawn -Grass Without Limits.

Dear Mayor Hill, On November 2, 2015 at 7:00 AM on Sunday morning I was cited by an AG Officer for violation of the basic speed limit which is posted at 25 MPH. The basis of this speed limit is the purported "Senior Center Facility'' law in California. I challenged the ticket in traffic court on January 15, 2015 and was found not quilt. The Judge's decision is self-explanatory. The enforcement of this speed limits violates the Ca VC sec. 40802 (a) and (c) which defines a speed trap. It is the judge's decision that the City of Arroyo Grande and the Arroyo Grande Police are operating a speed trap on the above mentioned roadway. Therefore the City of Arroyo Grande City Council should take immediate steps to insure no further innocent citizens suffer the embarrassment and financial insult which was handed to me that morning. In addition the officer I believe violated my civils right by enforcing California vehicle Code from private church property. It is my opinion this violates the basic tenet that there must be a separation of church and state. The infraction also occurred on Sunday the Sabbath. Supposedly the officer had permission from the church to set up his speed trap on the Landmark Baptist Church property. This further fuels the idea of collusion between church and state which is in my opinion a violation of my first Amendment rights. The Landmark Missionary Baptist Church also no longer has the Central Coast Christian Academy (CCCA) on their premises. The CCCA left the property last summer yet the signage for the school still persists. It must be removed. San Luis Obis , o County Superior Court x San Luis ObiSpo B ch, 801 Grand Ave. San Luis Obispo, ~ 93401 IJ Paso Robles Bran h. 549 lOlh Street, Paso Robles, CA 93446 IJ Qfover Beach B ch, 214 Soulh 16th Street, Grover Beach, CA 93433 The People of e State of California, Plaintlft: V.· Defendant eht of Not Guilty after Trial f'B IL [E.[I) JAN 21201S SAN LUJ.., ·-·· -, u SUPE~i~R COURT BY~ ! . ~fOl<it;;,. c. G;;';~;·0'eputyc::a;;~k -- 14C-42110 , 2014, the defendant was cited for violating Vehicle Code §22350. The basis for the citation w Vehicle Code §22352(b)(3) which establishes a 25 mile per hour prima facie speed limit for eas adjacent to senior citizen facilities. According to the officer the defendant was travelling pproximately 45 miles 1per hour; however, ·the defendant stated that his speed was 3 7 miles per h ur, 2 miles per hour over 35 mile per hour zone preceding the senior ce~ter --=--housing-area;-. he-Defertdant-:admitted he aid-Iiot--see th~enit>r €itizen'FacilitJ?.~~stgn:libove-tlie twenty-five mi e per hour regulatory speed sign. The basis for the officer's determination of speed was by e of a radar device. 22352 establishes a "prima facie" 25 mile per hour speed zqne in three situations; namely, reside tial and business districts; school zones; and senior center or facility zones. The latter is con · ed in subsection (b) (3) and provides that the local governing body has authority to determine t an appropriate sign be "implemented" to notice the zone. According to Vehicle Code §21400 e sign must conform to standards established by the California Department of Transportation According· to the evidence it appears that the sign establishing the "senior zone" complies with e Manual ~n Uniform Traffic Control Devices, 2014 edition. The difficulty i that there was no evidence on the detellDination by the City of Arroyo Grande to implement the rima facie 25 mile per hour zone. This becomes important in light of Vehicle Code §40802 hich defines a speed trap. If section 40802 applies and no engineering and traffic survey was ev uated in-the process of determining the speed zone then the officer was incompetent to testify pursuant to Vehicle Code §40804 and the defendant should be found not guilty. Vehicle Code· 40802 (a) and (c) defines a speed trap-~ any section of highway when radar is used where a p · a facie speed limit is established under the Vehicle Code unless the speed limit is supported b a traffic and engineering survey. The exceptions are local streets or roads and school zones. ·s position is supported by People v. Studley, (1996) 44 Cal.App. 4th Supp. 1, at 1 ~·.,··Jo""'""""°'""""" ••o••• "'\ ~'.f?..."~ .... • . -~ :: 1-< ... -. . . ,, .a Supp. 3, where the court stated: "[A]fter close reading of the statutes in question, we find the Legislature's , tipathy toward any radar-based prosecution of any speed law violation in any posted zone, w. ere the prima facie speed limit is not justified by proof of a timely engineering survey, is abso nte and unequivocal." Because no en · eering and traffic survey was introduced the officer became incompetent to testify and ther fore tl!ere are no facts to support the speeding charge. Consequently, the defendant is fo d not guilty. Notwithstand' g, it should be noted that it is this court's assumption that there.is in existence a traffic and en · eering study which supports the 35 mile an hour zone surrounding the senior center area. e court does not intend this ruling to mean that a separate traffic and engineering study needs to e done to support the senior facility speed zone. But at a minimum the existing study, or any tore study, should discuss the factors which justify the establishment of the zone and its length. How else then could the local authority determine that ''the proposed signing should be impl mented?" (See Vehicle Code §22352(b )(3)).

I live at 411, across the street from the Japanese property. Sadly, I disagree with most of the issues on the proposed list. I wish we could (j) keep the property agricultural. However, realistically, I know that isn't possible. Keeping the speed limit 25 and not having 2 *ry houses fronting our houses and ® ~ having a safe way to enter/exit our driveway are the only other issues I agree with. (D When Ed Dorfman proposed his development, one of the issues we brought up was that the Village is a friendly community where people walk often and feel part of a small community. His development included a fence that would separate his homes from ours, which was the opposite of that feeling. I couldn't stomach the meeting on the 31st and there weren't enough seats so I didn't stay to share my point of view. I hope they don't widen the street because I think that rather than making it more safe for us, it will instead just encourage them to increase the speed limit back to 34 or 40 and the people coming from Huasna already go 10-15 miles faster so they will probably continue to speed on through and run the stop signs like they do now. The police almost never patrol this street and they probably won't in the future so I think things will get even worse. It would be really nice if some one story homes faced our homes to keep that small town feel. Having a place where our family or friends could park when they visit us would be very welco.me also.

With the aid of a speed monitoring device) traffic speeds·were recorded from 1-08-15thru1-16-15. By observation, the narrow substandard lanes do not influence drivers to respect the posted speed limit of 25 miles per hour. The geometric length of the roadway tends to allow drivers to' accelerate from intersection to intersection. Vehicles tend to accelerate quickly within the first 200 feet, by mid-point speeds peak, and deceleration begins less than 200 feet from the. next stopping point. This survey is based on the following: *a speed monitoring device placed approximately 150 feet westerly of the intersection of Pacific Coast Railway. *recording of vehicular speeds on nine (9) days at random hours; the counts·were based on the travel speeds of 100 vehicles each day, or as noted; speed inte~als of .five miles per hour, plus and minus two miles per hour above and below-the five mile per hour intervals.

Use 11-06-14 Traffic-Count Study , Notes: r 1.Seventeen, percent of one hundred vehicles drove at or less than 25 miles-per hour. 2. Two thirds of the vehicle speeds are less than 35 m.p.h., perhaps due to the combined factors of the monitoring device and the posted 25 m.p.h. speed zone sign. 3. In the spring/summer of 2014 a speed study was performed in the 500 & 600 blocks of East Cherry Avenue. In combination with this new traffic monitoring study, an assessment can be made about drivers willingness to obey a posted speed limit. The· studies· present the· opport1:Jnity to compare an improved residential street with substandard roadway improvements of similar lengths. 4. The studies can be use as a tool in the mitigation of passive traffic control devices to maintain roadway speeds acceptable to the neighborhood, particularly livability and resident safety, while providing. for motor vehicle efficiency.

WITH THE IMPLIMENTATION OF AN ACCEPTED TRAF.FIC MANAGEMENT PLAN UTILIZING PASSIVE TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES WILL PROVIDE SEPARATION AND SAFETY BETWEEN THE MOVEMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIAN SOCIAL ACTIVITIES AND MOST IMPORTANTLY BRING THE PERCEPTION OF STREET SAFETY FOR THE NORTH SIDE RESIDENTS OF EAST CHERRY AVENUE WHEN ENTERING THE TRAFFIC TRAVELED WAY. TO MAINTAIN THE CURRENT SPEED LIMIT OF 25 M.P.H. A 40 FOOT WIDE PAVEMENT WIDTH IS APPLIED FOR THE TRAVEL WAY. THE PROPOSED PAVEMENT WIDTH IS BOUNDED ON THE NORTH BY THE INPLACE CURB AND GUTTER, BOUNDED ON THE SOUTH BY CONSTRUCTION OF BULB-OUTS WITH PEDESTRIAN RAMPS. THE TRAVEL WAY CONSISTS OF TWO STANDARD 12 FOOT TRAFFIC LANE AND TWO BICYCLE LANES WITH AN 11 AREA BARRIER" SEPARATION BETWEEN MOTOR VEHICLES, BIKERS. AND MOST IMPORTANT PEDESTRIANS WALKING ON THE NORTH SIDE OF EAST CHERRY AVENUE. WITH THE INSTALLATION OF LONGITUDINAL STRIPING. SIGNAGE, PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALKS AND PLACEMENT OF TREES ALONG THE ROADWAY AND PARKWAY WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE REDUCTION OF PHYSICAL AND OPTICAL WIDTH OF TtjE STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY, RESULTING IN LOWER DRIVING SPEED WITHOUT COMPROMISING SAFETY. THE PLAN DESIGN WILL BRING TO THE NEIHBORHOOD THE NEEDED SENSE OF WELL BEING AND ACHIEVE COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY. 4 ~ ;ro V:J .r .':t ..: ..... }\ .

I WITH! ANTICIPATION OF THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTIES ON THE SOUTH SIDE!OF OUR STREET, WE ARE EXPRESSING OUR VIEWS OF THE EXISTING SUBSTANDARD IMPROVEMENTS AND CURRENT SAFETY ISSUES ON OUR STREET. I I j CUR.~NT ISSUES, CONDITIONS AND CONCERNS EXPERIENCED EACH DAY: ! *EXCESSIVE SPEEDING *NO LAW ENFORCEMENT PRESENCE TO ENFORCE THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. *HA\ijlNG TO BACK OUT INTO TRAFFIC SAFf:LY INTO SUBSTANDARD TRAVEL LANES. I *ACqESSING MAIL BOXES AND TR.ASH CONTAINERS WITH SAFETY. *BACKED-UP TRAFFIC BEHIND GARBAGE TRUCKS, SCHOOL BUS, AND MAIL TRUCK PRESENT UNS~FE PASSING CONDITIONS INTO ON-COMIMG TRAFFIC. I •UNSAFE PASSING TO THE RIGHT ONTO THE DIRT SHOULDER AND AGRESSIVE PASSING TO THE!LEFT INTO ON-COMING TRAFFIC BY VEHICLES BEHIND RESIDENTS SLOWING DOWN TO TO TURN INTO RESIDENT DRIVEWAYS. •sAFhY FOR PEDESTRIANS WHILE WALKING FROM DUST AND DEBRIS THRONE UP BY PASSING VEHICLES WITHIN TWO FEET OF THE CURB AND GUTIER. I I •sAFETY FOR PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN WHO HAVE TO PARK ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE STREET AND CROSS THE STREET TO BOARD THE MORNING SCHOOL BUS. I "SAFETY FOR CHILDREN AND ADULT BIKERS, RUNNERS, AND WALKERS (CHILDREN AND ELDERS) WH(i) UTILIZE EAST CHERRY AVENUE GOING TO SCHOOL AND GROUP EXERCISE. I • EN\YIRONMENTAL ISSUES CONCERNING EXCESSING NOISE FROM SEMI-TRUCKS HAULING FARM EQUIPMENT AND PRODUCE, FULL SIZE TRUCKS WITH EXTRA WIDE TRAILERS, AND ALU VEHICLES EMITIING GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND THE AIR QUALITY FROM DUST. I THISiONE-QUARTER MILE STRETCH OF ROAD, BY ITS LENGTH ENCOURAGES SPEEDING, ESPECIALLY ONCE DRIVERS LEARN THE ROAD CONDITIONS, SUBSTANDARD OR NOT. I I WE BELIEVE THAT THE CITY SHOULD EXCER.CISE A REASONABLE STANDARD OF CARE IN CONSIDERING I ALL CDF THE APPLICABLE STANDARDS AND HOW THEY APPLY TO THIS SPECIFIC SITUATION IN ORDER TO 9AFEGUARD LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY AND THE PUBLIC WELFARE. WE UNDERSTAND THE FUTURE STREET IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE A POSITIVE ELEMENT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE, AND IMPROVE TRAFFIC CIRCULATION. ! I ' PAGE I '£ 't.\rl l B \ T ''A" I \ i' I WE !BELIEVE THAT FUTURE STREET IMPROVEMENTS SHOULD BE ABOVE THE LEVEL OF SERVICE ANl"' DESIGN STANDARDS UNDER THE CIRCULATION ELEMENT DESIGNATION FOR A COLLECTOR I STl)EET IN THE CITY'S GENERAL PLAN AND MORE PARTICULARLY BE CONCIDERED A SEPARATE SUB-AREA WITHIN THE PROPOSED SPECIFIC PLAN, WHICH BY NATURE HAS ITS OWN SPECIFIC I REQUIREMENTS SEPARATE FROM THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS. FINALLY, WE BELIEVE THE DEVELOPERS OF THREE PROPERTIES SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPROVING THE FULL LENGTH OF EAST CHERRY AVENUE, AND BEING THE DEVELOPMENTS WILL BENIFIT FROM THE IMPROVEMENTS, ALL COSTS SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBLllY OF THEj THREE PROPERTIES PRIOR TO BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENTS ON THEIR SIDE OF THE ROADWAY.
