TO MAYOR AND
CITY COUNCIL
DATE: 3/28/84
COUNCIL MEETING: 4/4/84
SUBJECT : HP -2, VILLA MONTALVO, MONTALVO ROAD
At its meeting of February 29, 1984 the Heritage Preservation Commission
reviewed the application of the Montalvo Association to designate
their structure as a Heritage Resource in accordance with the City's
Heritage Preservation Ordinance (_Ord. No. 66). Structures must comply
with the criteria in Section 5 of the ordinance to qualify for Heritage
Resource designation. The Commission made specific findings (attached
to the end of the application) indicating that the Villa Montalvo
conforms with these criteria and is recommending that the Council
approve the designation. It is the Commission's opinion that the
,information in the attached application is sufficient documentation
for the request.
The City Council must now decide to approve, modify or deny the re-
quest. To approve the request the Council must adopt an ordinance
designating the Villa Montalvo as a Heritage Resource. The ordinance
will go into effect 30 days after adoption. Prior to adopting the
ordinance the Council must make the following findings:
1. The Villa Montalvo has special historical, cultural,
archeaeological, scientific, architectural, or aesthetic
interest or value as part of the heritage or history of
the City, the County, the state or the nation.
2. The Villa Montalvo satisfies one or more of the criteria
set forth in Section 5 of Ordinance No. 66.
Once the designating ordinance goes into effect, the Villa Montalvo
will be subject to the regulations or Ordinance No. 66 which restrict
changes permitted to the exterior of a designated structure. If the
ordinance is adopted a Notice of Designation will be sent to the
owners of the Villa Montalvo.
Report to the Mayor & City Council 3/38/84

Villa Montalvo complies with the criteria of the ordinance and is
important to the history, especially architectural history, of Saratoga.

the Villa Montalvo as a Heritage Resource.

Placement on the National Register affords a property the honor of inclusion in the nation's official list of
cultural resources worthy of preservation and provides a degree of protection from adverse effects resulting from
federally funded or licensed projects. Registration provides a number of incentives for preservation of historic
properties, including special building codes to facilitate the restoration of historic structures, federally guaranteed
loans for the rehabilitating of residential properties, grants for restoration, and certain tax advantages. There are
no restrictions placed upon a private property owner with regard to normal use, maintenance, or sale of a
property listed in the National Register; however, proposals to demolish registered properties may require a
standard review in compliance with local ordinances or the California Environmental Quality Act. In addition,
certain provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1976 relate directly to the demolition and replacement of structures
listed in the National Register.

DATE: March 30 1984 C. Attu
DEP °'JZrMENr City Manager C. Mgr.
SUBJECT: Plans and Specifications for Quarry Creek Improvements `
Issue Summary
The Northwest Hillside Specific Plan was adopted in June of 1981 and calls for
various specific public improvements for the area. Drainage improvements and repairs
along Quarry Creek are among these works. Conditions of approval on subdivisions
within the area place responsibility for the cost of these repairs on developers.
However, the City must specify the exact work to be done in order to set precise
conditions. These conditions can be specified only through engineering analysis and
study.
Earlier this year, the City received the first phase of the Heiss Report which
analyzed all of the improvements called for in the Specific Plan and estimated the
range of costs for each. Along with that report, the City received a proposal from
Terratech, Inc. of San Jose to update their 1979 analysis of improvements required
along Quarry Creek. This update would enable the City to specify the improvements
required for repair and stabilization of the creek. These specifications now are
needed for determining the conditions of approval on pending subdivision work.
Recent storms have further damaged the creek, and the City is attempting to obtain
the needed improvements before furthur damage occurs.
It is timely for the City to proceed with the Terratech study of the creek in order
to determine the specifications for repairs and improvement with the developer. The
cost of the study will be reimbursed through settlements with the developer.
Recommendation
(1) Authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement pursuant to a proposal
dated 2/13/84 with Terratech, Inc. of San Jose for geotechnical studies of Quarry
Creek and preparation of plans and specifications for improvements.
(2) Appropriate the amount of $21,000 from Drainage Improvement Fund for the cost of
the work.
Fiscal Impacts
The $21,000 estimated for the study will be recovered through development fees.
Advancing the costs at this time will allow the work to be performed in advance of
development, thereby reducing risks of further damage.

Attention: Mr. Bill Heiss
Subject: Proposal for Geologic / Geotechnical Investigation and Design
Improvement of Quarry Road /Quarry Creek
Saratoga, California
Dear Mr. Heiss:
We are pleased to present this proposal to perform a geologic /geotechnical
investigation and to collaborate in the design of improvements for Quarry
Road from Mt. Eden Estates (Cocciardi property) to the culvert that
carries Quarry Creek under Quarry Road.
In 1979 we prepared a report for Mr. Cocciardi on the geologic/
geotechnical feasibility of improving Quarry Road (see Terratech report
#2587 dated April 1979). In this report we offered two schemes for
Mr. Cocciardi's consideration:
1. Improvement of Quarry Road by constructing a compacted soil
buttress in Quarry Creek and reconstructing the north shoulder of
Quarry Road by engineered fill. This scheme is shown in
diagrammatic cross section in the attached sketch. (this sketch
was one of the exhibits in our 1979 report).
2. Improvement of Quarry Road by minor improvements -- cuts, fills
and retaining walls on either side of Quarry Road and the
reconstruction of a landslide in the north shoulder of Quarry Road.
Scheme 1 would bring Quarry Road up to City Standards with a 26 foot wide
pavement and 3 foot wide shoulder on either side. This scheme, however,
would have a large impact on the natural environment along Quarry Creek.
Scheme 2 would have produced a usable road -- but not up to City
Standards of stability -- with a 20 foot wide pavement, a 3 foot wide
shoulder on the north side and a 2 foot wide drainage swale on the south
side.
February 13, 1984
Project 2587/2
- 2 -
Our 1979 report was reviewed by the City Geologist, Mr. W. Cotton and by
Mr. Don Wimberly, City Director of Inspection Services (at that time).
Copies of their review memos are attached. You should note that
Mr. Cotton and Mr. Wimberly both required additional investigation of
Quarry Road.
Mr. Wimberly subsequently provided specific direction on the extent of
the required additional investigation. A copy of Mr. Wimberly's memo on
this is attached.
Since 1979, the landsliding in the north shoulder of Quarry Road has
become much more extensive, largely as a result of the unprecedented,
heavy rains during the winters of 1981/82, 1982/83 and 1983/84. The
present extent of the landsliding -- caused by erosion at the toe of the
slope that leads down from the north side of Quarry Road to Quarry Creek
-- has ruled out Scheme 2 as a viable alternative to Scheme 1. In our
opinion, if Quarry Road is to be improved, Scheme 1 should be adopted,
and this proposal relates only to that scheme, modified to meet the
development plans that are being considered by the City for Quarry
Road /Quarry Creek.
As we understand it, the development /improvement plan.presently being
considered by the City for Quarry Road /Quarry Creek separates Quarry Road
into two parts: 1) Quarry Road between Mr. Eden Estates and Vaquero
Court and 2) Quarry Road between Vaquero Court and the culvert that
carries Quarry Creek under Quarry Road. These two parts of Quarry Road
would be improved to different standards.
Quarry Road between Mr. Eden Estates and Vaquero Court is at present a
private, narrow, dirt road used only by walkers and horses. This part
would be improved to full City street standards with a 26 foot wide
pavement, curbs and gutters, and a 3 foot wide shoulder on either side
(the same road section as planned for Mt. Eden Estates). This part of
Quarry Road would become a dedicated City street and would provide
ingress and egress through Mt. Eden Estates to Mt-. Eden Road for
residents of Vaquero Court.
Quarry Road between Vaquero Court and the Quarry Creek culvert is at
present a private paved road. The road pavement is in poor condition and
there are several large landslides in the slope that leads from the north
shoulder of Quarry Road down to Quarry Creek. The only improvement of
this part of Quarry Road would be the stabilization of the flow line of
Quarry Creek to minimize or eliminate further erosion by Quarry Creek at
the toe of the slope down from Quarry Road. This portion of Quarry Road
would be used subsequently only for emergency access.
.

As we see it, the investigative and design work needed for the
improvements being considered for Quarry Road, should be done by a
professional team consisting of: a geotechnical engineer, a geologist, a
civil engineer, a hydrologist and a landscape architect. The following
is a list of the work that we think needs to be done. The
geologic /geotechnical components of the list are based on Mr. Wimberly's
1979 memorandum. For each item in the list we have indicated the
professional(s) who would be involved.
1. Prepare a geologic map of the Quarry Creek region from Mt. Eden
Estates to Pierce Road. The mapping area will be approximately 60
acres of steep terrain interrupted by numerous landslides, the
majority of which are on the slope that leads down from Quarry
Road to Quarry Creek (TERRATECH).
2. Provide a topographic map at a scale of 1 " =50' of the Quarry Creek
Region (crest to crest on either side of Quarry Creek) and cross
sections through Quarry Road /Quarry Creek at 100' intervals at a
scale of 1 " =10' (CIVIL ENGINEER). The topographic map would be
used as the base for our geologic map and the cross sections would
be used as the base for design of the buttress and new channel in
Quarry Creek.
3a. Design a compacted soil buttress to be constructed in Quarry Creek
between Mr. Eden Estates and Vaquero Court to provide lateral
support for the landslides in the slope adjacent to Quarry Road;
design compacted soil slopes to allow the widening of Quarry Road,
where necessary, to provide a 26 foot wide pavement with 3 foot
wide shoulders on either side; and design a pavement for Quarry
Road and any necessary retaining walls (TERRATECH /CIVIL ENGINEER).
3b. Design stabilization works for the flowline of Quarry Creek
between Vaquero Court and the culvert that carries Quarry Creek
under Quarry Road. (TERRATECH /CIVIL ENGINEER /HYDROLOGIST).
4. Perform a hydrologic study to provide a means of selecting the
flood flow of Quarry Creek to be used for the design of a lined
channel (or culvert) and for the design of alternative energy
dissipation structures. Make preliminary designs of the
alternative hydraulic works for consideration by review agencies.
After selection of the hydraulic works considered best for Quarry
Creek, make detailed designs of these works.
(HYDROLOGIST /TERRATECH /CIVIL ENGINEER)
February 13, 1984
Project 2587/2
- 4 -
5. Provide specifications, construction drawings, cross sections and
details of the whole scheme for the improvement of Quarry
Road /Quarry Creek. The construction plan will be an overlay to
the 1 " =50' topographic map described in 2
(CIVIL /ENGINEER /TERRATECH).
6. Make recommendations for mitigative works considering-the initial
large impact the scheme will have on the environment along Quarry
Creek (CIVIL ENGINEER /TERRATECH /LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT).
7..Prepare a comprehensive report dealing with the geology,
geotechnical engineering, hydrology, hydraulics and civil work for
the whole scheme (TERRATECH /CIVIL ENGINEER /HYDROLOGIST).
We estimate that our fee for providing the geologic and geotechnical
com onents of the work described in the above list would be in the range
of 21,000 to $24,000 based on the rates given in the attached schedules
.of charges.
We estimate that there are 6 to 8 weeks of geologic /geotechnical work to
be done. The rate at which this work could be done, of course, would be
influenced by the rate at which the other professionals in the team are
able to do their work. We suggest a meeting to discuss and devise a work
schedule and completion time for all the needed work.
Yours sincerely,
TERRATECH, INC.
