SARATOGA C~IPUS OFF-STREET PARKING LOT1 ASSESSMENT ~DISTRICT (Cont 'd. 5/16 & 6/6/73) The Mayor explained that the questiOnScame up at the last regular meeting if the parking lot immediately adjacent to Short Hill Court could be switched with one of the athletic fields and used as a buffer zone for residents in the area. He explained that Dr. Lowery, West Valley Jr~ College was present this eveni~t6~e 't~timonywith regard to some of the .Suggestions tha~ were brought up atethe last meeting. To begin with, the Mayor asked D~. Lo~ery. if the "bulb" suggestion was acceptable with the College. Dr. Lo~ery indicated that he could not speak for the Board, but it was his own. personal feeling that this wquld be of low priority and this lot would be the first to go. With regard to the switch of the parking lot add the hockey field, Dr. Lowery stated that the College's position would. be that this property~has been studied over a long period of time, and this switch would not be acceptable with the College, primarily because of the considerable addition of expense this would involve. Mayor Smith asked'Dr. Lowery what t~e ~ollege's position was in cutting_back one-half of the parking lot in ques[ion/~Dr?LoW~Fy replied be t~ki'ng approximately 100 places which he ~ was ~a 'significant reducfibh. The Mayo~ opened the public ~earing'at 10:25 PLM. Mayor Smith inquired what the estimated cost would be tomeke the switch of the parking lot and the athletic field. Dr. Lowery indicated that, depending upon the precise layout of the grades, it would be approximately $56,970. Mr. Aumack, the engineer for this project, pointed out on the map the slope differences. He indicated that the genera~ slope of .the land is such that it rises up, and therefore, it slopes down with the parking lot, which rela- tively reduces the amount of grade'. He indicated he thinks there is a drop on the hockey field of approximately 10 feet. Mr. Aumack concurred that it would cost approximately $56,000 to exchange the par~ing lot with the hockey field, and additionally, there wo~id be approximately three hundred feet of lineal fence amounting to approximately $1,600, and an additional $30 per stall, bringing this figure from $600 per stall to $630 per.stall. The. Mayor asked Dr. Lowery if it ~as his recollection that it was the Planning Commission's first preference to have this hockey field located where the parking lot is and the parking lot where the hockey field is. Dr. Lowery replied that he didn't recall this. Councilman Kraus asked Dr, Lowery if the College had considered anything beyond the nineteen feet of landscaping which was discussed at the previous meeting. Dr. Lowery replied that this hasn't been given consideration at this point. Mayor Smith asked Dr. Lowery if, between the time of the last meeting and tonight, he or Mr. Hardy had met with the Board about switching the parking lot with the hockey field or the proposal to cut. back one-half o£ the lot. - 3 - Dr. Lowery replied that they had met informally, but no formal action had been taken by the Board. He further stated that this matter has b~en dis- cussed at length in the past, - Mr. John Terry, 10675~Woodbank Way, asked if with the~very significant landscaping going around the parking lot, would there still be space left for the Master Plan trail. Mr, Stan Walker, Director of Planning,. indicated that this factor is being-worked on; hpwever, he didn't know if the pro- viding of nineteen feet would allow for tlrail as planned. Col. Barco of Dundee Avenue indicated that he would like to address himself to two subjects: 1) He indicated thathe has heard it repeatedly said, "This is the way we planned'it all along" and that "this thing has been given thorough detailed study". !It washis feeling that "nothing could be further from the facts". He indicated that seven years ago, quoted in the West Valley hewspaper, it state~ UOne' thing that would never be changed is the green belt on the east side of the campus." He indicated that he has had previous meetings with the former 'Dean of Facilities, Dean Arnold, and was assured that along the green belt ~of the campus there would be no parking facilities, excepf for a little fifteen-car parking lot they were going to pu~ next to the warehouse. 2) Mr. Muir who.boUght the land adjacent to the proposed lot had had Several meetings with Dean Arnold, and he~was assured of the same thing. Hecommented that Dr. Lowcry has stated "he c n' a t speak ~or the College", and,he was informed that Dean Arnold didn't really speak for the College, and he asked, "Who does speak for. the College?" Col. Barco explained the'concept of a~time schedule-space available study, and he indicated that this ha~ never been done. He stated that he would like to see a study such as this-made and ~b~v~e~'~_h~.c~lt~ sta'ff lake a' look at it, _ and then if they really need more parking space, thi~'would b~ fine. One citizen indicated that he didn't feel the parking.ratio could be com- pared with that of Foothill and DeAnza Colleges as both of these schools are-located by a freeway, and the Wes~ Valley Campus is located in a residential area. Mr. Sanford' Berliner,- Attorney, 100 ~ark Center Plaza, San Jose, indicated that he was representing a number of !residents on Short Hill Court, It was his feeling that the answer Ito the question if this matter has been ,brought back to the Board of Trustees .seems ~o be "no". He indicated that at no time since the last City Council Meeting have the facts been formally brought before the Board of Trustees as to what this Council's feeling is with re- gard to moving the hockey lfield to t~e "concrete jungle", and it appears to him that ~_e.~j~'~s~h~ul'd~'~ii~ ~xpreS~'d to ~he Board before any<gu.~h~"c6~ra~i~'~ade ~e~'a~aln~ '~hi~ ~te~L Mr. B~rl~ng~r, felt that the Economic Impact in relation ~to the total cost of these parkinglots. should be weighed, considering a ten~percent reduction~in the valuation of the homes on Short Hill~Court. Mr. De~ling~r/fe~ there would be an impact with this project, and he felt this impact should be reviewed by the Planning Commission as~well as the Council. He pointed Out that the purpose of the ~ox Bill is to grant to the public opportunities to be h~ard on all matters that would have a significant effect on the environment. In conclusion, ~.Ber~e~t~dicated, that i~ the'CounCil should take action tonight, he would request that his office be notified=if the 'attorneys are instructed to ~ile a.validation action so he may have an opportunity to review that validation action, and should he not file a validation action, institute an action on behalf of the] residents on Short Hill Court to determine whether~the assessment district is apprgpria,te. Mayor Smith asked Attorney Kenneth~on%s if it would be' within the ~ity's perogative to alternate the pa~king~lot at any time. ~. Jones replied that a review of the co~ estima.te ,ould~rindicate whethe~ or not there would be enough in the contingency ~undS.- - 4 - Councilman Dwyer suggested that the Council speak in a universal voice and indicate to the College exactly what we find acceptable with regard to this parking lot situation. Councilman Diridon {~dicated that th~ question ~it'h regard to the connection of the perimeter road to the otherslots was discussed at the previous meeting, and there h~s been no report onlthisas yet. Dr. Lower~ stated that itis the College's intent to get students.off the main street and into the parking spaces. Dr. Lowery indicated ~heycould construct thelperimeter road to connect with the other 10ts, but the~students would ~av~t0 drive around the .campus. Mrs. Long, a citizen, questioned if any other alternative solutions have been considered for this parking, as it seemed very expensive to spend $600 to park each car. She felt some consideration should be given to operation of busses as sh~ hated to see any more of our beautiful land go into concrete. ~ Mr. Duffy, a citizen, asked, "Why is the parking lot in question located so far from the academic buildings of the college?" and "Who is supposed to use that lot?" Mayor Smith replied that it was determined at the last regular meeting that those people using the theater would use the lot, and also, the library is close by. Mr. Charles Huff, President, Prides Crossing Homeowners Association, inquired why the "time schedule space-available" study had not been conducted earlier. He did not understand how the College could come to the Council and ask for $56,000 for parking lots when they haven't even prepared a study. Mr.'Lowery indicated that ~hey at the College know basically what classes are going to be scheduled next year, and they have scheduled them from 7:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. They have also s~heduled classes on Saturday. Mr. Lowery indicated they they know they'must schedule 'classes with an equal number of students throughout the da~ and they must fill up classrooms from 8:00 A.M. ~o 12:00 Noon three days aweek for those students holding part-: time jobs. Mr. Lowerystated that the buildings are there, the students are there, and aside from that he doesn't know how else they can justify the need. Mr. Walter Muir, 14156 Short Hill. Court, indicated that he questions the $57,000 figdre that has been quoted as he has had engineers~go out to this site, and they found that the ~levations as indicated by the College were not accurate, but instead, were the original elevations. He stated that hec felt there would substantial savingsinvolved in many of the areas because of this factor and that the switch of the parking lot and the hockey field would be more-like 'a p Also, he indicated that if the parking lot is reduced from 280 spacesto 150 spaces, and there would be a savings of $6,000. Mr. Muir indicated that he has ndt heard anything with regard to the suggestion concerning a study oflsmall cars that are.parked in the lots, and there is no design in thisTplan for compact cars. Mayor Smith indicated that the Council could do one of three things: 1) Continue this hearing to the next zmeeting and indicate to the Coll~ge tonight the Council's preference;2) ~pprove-a plan tonight, subject to the College's approval; or 3) request more study. The Mayor indicated that he finds it ivery difficult to vote for the parking plan as proposed, and he would like to see the switch of the parking lot and the hockey field. Councilman Bridges indicated that he would be in favor of approving the reduction of parking lot 3. - 5 - Councilman Dwyer indicated he would be in favor of leaving parking lot 3 in its present position and eliminating a few parking spaces to create a greater buffer area. Councilman Kzaus indicated he would prefer the switch of the parking lot and the hockey field, and if this could not be done, he would be in favor of the wider buffer zone. Councilman Diridon indicated he was in agreement with Councilman Kraus, and also, if the switch would require an additional instructor, he would be in favor of the additional buffer zone~, particularly with the trail which ~a~ discussed earlier.~ In addition, he would like the College to respond to a potential crossover street to the e~sterly side of the campus without having to drive around the campus. Mr. Ken Jones, Attorney for this prpject, indicated that in order for him to file a validation action in time for the District to levy a tlax, it would be necessary to take action tonight. He suggested that the Council adopt the appropriate resolutions, subject to the condition that no construction be initiated on parking lot 3 without specific authorization by the Council. It was moved by Councilman Bridges and seconded by Councilman Diridon that the public hearing be closed. The motion carried; the public hearing was closed at 11:45 P.M. Mayor Smith moved that the Council pass-the necessary resolutions, Resolutions 655-1, 655-J, 655-K and 655-L ,~su~j~'~tT~f~l_~{~gy' ~l'~That the plan to be implemented would place parking lot 3 in the place of the hockey field and the hockey field in the place of the parking lot; the "bulb" parking lot' be omitted and there be ampl~ room left along the eastern, northern and southern perimeters for the equestri~nltrait~'with the exact location for this to be set out between the District and th& Planning Commission; and the access be provided along the southwestern portionof the campus for easier circulation. Councilman Diridon seconded the motion and indicated that the motion should include the thought that 'if.something'particularly compelling should come up with regard to this matter, the motion could be revoked. The motion was carried. The City'Manager spggested that theZCouncil request a formal response from the College with regard to the action taken this evening. Mayor Smith advised Mr. Lowe~y that the Council would like to request this response. B. PERMANENT OPEN SPACE AND CONSERVATION ELEMENTS The public hearing was opened at 11:55 P.M. It was moved by Councilman Kraus and seconded by Councilman Diridon that this matter be continued to an Adjourned Regular Meeting on Tuesday, June 26th. The motion was carried. C. 1973-74 ANNUAL BUDGET Mayor Smith indicated that the formal presentation o~ the Budget c'ould be presented this evening and then public comment could be heard and the Council could vote on various points individually. The City Manager explained that he has presented the budget as far as the Building Inspect'ion Department, and!the basic modification in this departS_? ment is.the~mp_~f~oy.'~e~_'payrofl~b~{~s,~hich last year were shown in "General Government". He indicat~d'['~'t '[~e!"Ge~eral Government" budget has been significantly decreased from last year due to the transferring of these personnel expenses. The proposed budget has allowed for an increase in the area of "Community Prom6tion" and also "Insurance". In the Public Works budget, there i~ an increase du~ to a large portion of personnel services which were transferred into the Operating Budget. He - 6 - indicated that program-wise there are some proposed increased capital out- lay items. The other proposed increase in related to "Personnel" in order to keep the Traffic Engineer position, which is currently P~E.P. funded. In the Public Works Street MaintenanCe budget the___sala_~r~_~ortion of the budget reflects increases for the transfer of p~e~son_ne~~a~c~'~unts.'~He indicated there is limited money for the maintenance of the City's asphalt pathways and there is no money for ithe maintenance of bikeways. Also, there will be some additional cost in the telephone facilities due to the move of the Corporation Yard. Councilman Diridon indicated that there had been complaints last year and a few this year prior to budget hearings with regard to Stree~ Sweeping, particularly in the Quito area and that he would be in favor of adding $2,500~toward selective sweeping, and his motion reflected this. Council.~: man Bridges seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously. The City Manager advised that the other element of the Public Works Budget ._~.~? !'Traffic Safety".element, and he explained that~a~'[h~r~ is the tr~h~fer of the Maintenance Man' II position to the Trafff~S~f~y ~dgee' t6~reflect the actual work h~ is doing. The Mayor indicated that a petition has been circulated for a crossing guard on Cox Avenue in the area of Darian Way and Miller Avenue. y~-._.ManagerTadVised t~at-i~would be his recommendation to allocate $rr200"~Sr a"~r~ss{h~ ~uar~ at k~f~'~i~rand because ie~i~ V~ry'diffi- ' cult to get traffic patternS'when school is out, eake council action prior to the school year. In the meantime, the City could try to find out from the school district wha[ the problems are and whether or not the burden is being shifted from the school to'the City. ~s. Pam Matteoni .indicated that they are thinking now o~ summer school, and there will be no one t0 cover these areas during this time. It was moved by Mayor Smith and seconded by Councilman Bridges to include $1,200 in the budget for a crossing.guard, to be included under "Part-time- Temporary" in the Traffic Safety Budget. 'This was unanimously carried. The City Manager indicated there is~an increase in "Special Supplies", Account 22, and additionalmoney for "Outside Services" for work that has to be done on the Storm Drain Program for damages of last winter. Under Gas Tax Construction the City Manager indicated there should be five projects added which are in the process of being completed but will carry over to the next fiscal year. He further indicated that a key item for 'Council discussion would be Account 83.11, Reid Lane-Saratoga/Sunnyvale traffic sig- nal, and it is hoped that the Council would approve funding this project as the State has indicated they were not in a position to do this. The City Manager advised that under~"S~orm Drain" expenditures there are nine projects, some of these of.wJich are urgent. in that. they are relevant to problems which occurred.thfs~C~a~inter' The Mayor opened the public hearing~at 12:25 A.M. Mr. Bill Ne~an of the Co~unity Garden project, addressed the Council, stating that it was his understanding that there has been some slight change from what was earlier perceived as support toward the Community Garden. He indicated that the Garden has a project launched, and they are hoping that the launching will keep this thing in orbit and the people surrounding them will not g home for lunch". Mr. Ne~an explained that the kind of things they have planned require long-term commitments, and one of these · - 7 - commitments which is currently going on is with the School District in interviwing people for jobs. He further indicated that the High School District has granted him.avyear's leave of absence at half-pay to work at the Community Garden project to do what he can to facilitate that launching and make it the sort of dream they had before the project was started. Mr. Newman was in question as to what kind of cost. benefit ap~lysis would have to be done to convince the Council that funds for this project are warranted. Mayor Smith commented that he thinks the burden they have has to go beyond a cost benefit analysis, and it was his feeling that the Council wants to know exactly what their goals are. Mr. Newman stated they have been involved with various organizations, such as "4-H", etc., but these programs have to be expanded. Councilman Dwyer advised that he is delighted to know there is some strong leadership with the Community Garden project at this time; however, he indicated that since 'we would bespending taxpayers' dollars, he would like to see some valid j6stificatio~ for their needs. Councilman.Diridon stated that.d~rihg. the Council's earlier discussions on the issue he didn't object.to hawing an e~aluatio~ of theprogram; however, he regretted a little that it had to occur as soon as August. He asked Mr. Newman if,~' ~o~nd~e~nd ~f~August., he could show a signi- ficant increase in the'~{~l d~vero~ ~f the program~ Mr. Newman re- plied that he feels things are going to h~ppen during the next couple of months. Mayor Smith asked Mr, Newman if he had a specific amount in mind. Mr. Newman replied they did have a request in the budget for some funding for construction, ~nd at one time there was a request for a Coordinator. The City Manager stated there was a request for $15,900 for eight various items, and also, ~here was a request that the funds allocated' for a ~e~r~t'~'~onI~EdFr~-- at Kevin Moran Park be diverted to provide for this Community Co~di~[or, and he had informed them that there was no money in the budget allocated for a Playground Director at Kevin=~M6ran~and_~'~) therefore, there would be no funds to divert. Mrs. Betty Peck indicated she would. like the Council to' consider the Garden's need for a Coordinator. Mr. Charles Huff commented that he doesn't totally agree with all that he has heard, and he doesn't feel he has enough information for a fixed opinion. Councilman Diridon indicated he would like to petition the Council to add $6,000 for the Manager, and$~00 for the "liaison" person. Councilman Krausindicated that he is concerned aboht even putting $6,000 i~lat this point and [hat he would ha~e to see some additional partici~ pation hy Saratogans before he could approve any more money toward this. It was, therefore, moved by Councilman Kraus and seconded by Councilman Diridon that $6,000 be approved to be budgeted toward the Garden Manager's salary and that no additional funds be allocated at this time. The motion was carried. It was moved by Councflman Bridges 'and seconded by Councilman Diridon that the public hearing be continued to the Adjourned Regular Meeting on June 26th.
