LLA-1 (Zone 31)
Recommendation: Adopt Resolution as appropriate.
City Manager Perlin presented the staff report.
In response to Councilmember Mehaffey, Mr. Perlin replied that the entire cost of the landscaping
improvements will be borne by the assessment district. There is some incidental work that the City
would participate, if the assessment is approved, including the improvement of the pathway that
currently runs through the subject area. That pathway will be relocated and reestablished by the
City.
City Manager Perlin commented that the City would not undertake this project if not for the
property owners coming forward and requesting the City to initiate assessment proceedings. He
added that this assessment will be a positive addition to the City landscape.
In response to Councilmember Mehaffey, Ms. Randolph, City Attorney's office, concurred with the
City's engineer's report assessment that there is no general benefit except for the pathway. The
pathway would be used by the general public while the landscaping would benefit the property
owners in enhancing their property values.
Mayor Shaw opened the public heating at 7:44 p.m. and recognized the following person:
Oskar Thumher, 19931 Bella Vista, expressed support and urged Council to support the proposed
assessment. He conveyed thanks to Mr. Pefiin and Acting Public Works Director John Cherbone
for all of their help and responsiveness in moving this project forward and in finding ways to
reduce the cost of this project.
There being no further public testimony, Mayor Shaw closed at the public hearing at 7:49 p.m. and
directed the City Clerk to tabulate the ballots and report the results.
City Clerk Ramos reported that a total of 44 ballots were received out of 52 ballots mailed. Thirty-
nine (39) are in favor and five (5) are in opposition.
City Manager Perlin added that the ballot reporting for this project is based on the votes and not the
assessment amount because the assessment is the same for all property owners, therefore, it
becomes a simple majority vote.
MEHAFFEY/BOGOSIAN MOVED TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION ORDERING THE
IMPROVEMENTS AND CONFIRMING THE ASSESSMENTS. MOTION PASSED 5-0.
At this time, Mayor Shaw retumed to oral communications to acknowledge a request to speak by
Bert Martel and apologized for the oversight.
7. OLD BUSINESS
A. Report from Community Development Director regarding the Notices of Intent
for Saratoga Union School District school renovation projects (Saratoga
Elementary and Redwood Middle Schools).
Recommendation: ProvidedirectionlostaffonCity'scommentsonbothNotice
of Intent.
Director of Community Development Walgren presented the staff report and noted that this is the
final opportunity for the City Council to review and comment on the proposed plans to renovate
and expand the Saratoga Elementary and Redwood Middle Schools. This projects were noticed
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the school district, being a
public agency, can exempt themselves fi'om local zoning regulatipns, however, they are still
required to comply with CEQA including preparation of an environmental initial study and notice
to the public to allow for a review and comment period.
Page 3 of 9
Minutes for City Council Regular Meeting April 21, 1999
According to Mr. Walgren, staff has identified two key issues of the project which are the
inadequacy of the traffic analysis and the Heritage Preservation Commission's (HPC) position that
the two largest Eucalyptus trees could not be removed without resulting in a significant
environmental impact. The latter is technically and legally important because the school property
is listed on the City's local historic registry giving that piece of authority to the HPC. The school
district's proposal to remove those trees will result in a requirement to not consider a negative
declaration but to develop a full environmental impact report and adopt a statement of overriding
consideration. As a result of these comments from the City, plan revisions and an addendnm traffic
study have been presented to staff by the school district. These revisions have been reviewed by
the HPC and the Public Safety Commission (PSC).
With regards to the Redwood Middle School, the school district requested to postpone it from
Council consideration resulting from meetings with City staff regarding City's concerns about
deficiencies in the traffic circulation and queuing analysis. The district's addendnm responding to
these concerns have been submitted and presented to staff.
After review of the amended plans from the school district, the HPC stands finn on their position
regarding the preservation of the two Eucalyptus trees because they feel that their removal would
result in a significant environmental impact which could not be mitigated with replacement trees.
The PSC, the traffic engineer and staff have reviewed the amendments to the traffic reports to be
adequate to complete the environmental initial study. In addition to the points made in the reports
for each of the school projects, the City's concerns, such as physical improvements, site
improvements, and other measures such as working with the PSC to expand the Altrans school
busing program, promoting alternative school busing programs, encouraging parents to carpool, etc.
were also addressed. Staff's recommendation is to require a formal agreement such as a Mitigation
Monitoring Plan in conjunction with a mitigated negative declaration or some type of formal
agreement to ensure that these measures are followed up on, monitored and reported to the City
through the PSC.
Mr. Walgren announced that members of the PSC, the City's traffic engineer are present to answer
questions and deferred additional comments to the school district representatives.
Mary Gardner, Saratoga Union School District Superintendent, thanked Council for the opportunity
to present an update on the school projects and to report on their meetings with City staff, School
Board, parents and other citizens. These meetings have resulted in compromises which will allow
the school to proceed with their projects. She provided a brief introduction on the presentations that
will be made this evening tO include HMC Architects, Sue Mueller, Facilities Committee site
representative, Dennis Hunter and Jeff Barco, comanunity members who have worked with the
school to resolve some of the community issues. Separate presentations will be made for each
'school project. She urged Council's support of their negative declaration tiudings and commented
that project groundbreaking is critical in June in order to use interim facilities in San Jose which
would only be available to them this next school year.
Lee Salen, HMC Group Architects, provided an oral presentation illustrated with drawings and
renderings of the school site. Highlights of his presentation included the historic building and
features, trees on the site, loading, unloading and parking sites, bnildmg design, new multi-level
building and 56% irapermeability of the site.
Jeff Barco, Komina Road, representative of Kids Safety First, a community group, commented on
the group's effort to mitigate traffic problems for Saratoga schools and seriously engaged in finding
structural solutions to the traffic problems by recommended to do a thorough traffic analysis to
counter the LSA study. The new study by Wilbur Smith Associates resulted in identical concerns
of traffic impact and safety and significant recommendations included a pull out lane on Oak,
expanding the existing parking lot and adding drop offs, and eliminating the drop off on Komina
Road. Mr. Barco would like to work with the City on mitigating the traffic on Komina and Oak
and work with PSC on busing issues.
Sue Mueller, parent, businessowner and active participant on the Facilities Committee for the
design changes to the school, commented that the two most debated issues discussed by the
committee were traffic and trees. The decision to remove the two Eucalyptus trees was to increase
the play area for the children and have an adequate field. The committee has also agreed to
compromise in order to move the project forward in a timely manner.
Dennis Hunter, 20606 Loimta Avenue, committee member has been ~harged to work with the
proponents and opponents of the proposed removal of trees and to find an acceptable compromise
for all parties concerned. He enumerated the concerns expressed by both parties to include safety,
proximity of the play area, historical value of the trees and a sense of continuity. Based on the
discussions and concerns at hand, it was decided to mitigate the impactof the construction process
to the two trees and preserve them during the construction phase by increasing their health through
Page 4 of 9
Minutes for City Council Regular Meeting April 21, 1999
irrigation systems. Approximately in May next year, the less healthier tree, to be determined by an
Arborist, will be cut down. He also commented on the decision to cut down some of the several
trees along the border of the school based on longevity, safety and proximity factors. The
committee is also developing a set of processes to maximize the long term health of the trees to
avoid tree limb drop issues and extend the availability of these trees for the future. He feels that the
committee has achieved a compromise which balances the historical interests as well as the safety
interests.
In response to COuncilmember Mehaffey, Mr. Hunter replied that there is a plan to provide and
replace trees in the affected areas, however, these trees may not provide shade until they mature.
Mayor Shaw called the following persons who submitted requests to speak: '
Cindy Ruby, deferred her comments upon the completion of both presentations.
Stephanie Petrassi, deferred her comments upon the completion of both presentations.
Madeline Morrow, deferred her comments upon the completion of both presentations.
Sue Nakaji, expressed support of the school's proposed plans for renovation and expansion.
Mimi Frazer., commended the school board on their efforts to work out a compromise and
expressed support of that compromise. She added that as a member of the subcommittee on trees,
the committee has an overall concem of the safety issue generated fxom the Eucalyptus trees and '
urged Council to support the compromise.
Willys Peck, 14275 Saratoga Avenue, member of the HPC and an alumnus of Saratoga School,
supported preservation of the trees and noted that during his time in school, the trees did not pose
any threat to safety and stressed the importance of their preservation primarily because it adds to the
city's character.
Betty Peck, 14275 Saratoga Avenue, member of the Saratoga School's past faculty, supported
preserving the trees.
Larry Ford, 13444 Beaumont Avenue, commended the efforts of the school board. After some
research and discussion with environmental experts, he concluded that the Eucalyptus trees in
question appear to have not been maintained and is one reason why they appear to be hazardous. In
addition there are other species of trees on campus identified as being equal or more hazardous than
the Eucalyptus trees.
Before proceeding to the Redwood Middle School project, Mayor Shaw declared a recess at 8:55
p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 9:05 p.m.
Ms. Gardner reported that the presentations for Redwood Middle school will address traffic issues.
Lee Salen, HMC Group Architects, provided an oral presentation illustrated with drawings and
renderings of the proposed project addressing building design and site layout to meet additional
space requirements and traffic concerns.
Councilmember Streit expressed concerns on the proposed queuing of t~affic on to Fruitvale.
According to the plan, with traffic flowing onto to Fruitvale, there is no consideration for U-tums or
other considerations to alleviate traffic on Fruitvale. He requested a response from the traffic
engineer.
Councilmember Bogosian concurred with Councilmember Streit's concerns.
Mayor Shaw recognized the persons who wished to speak:
Cindy Ruby, did not wish to speak.
Madeline Morrow., 13360 Via Ranchero Drive, PTA president, spoke on her behalf and those of the
PTA members and the Saratoga Education Foundation. She commended the school board's efforts
to work with the concerns that have been addressed and expressed support of the projects. She
added that the renovation plans for Argonaut and Foothill school are contingent upon the moving
forward of the Saratoga Elementary and Redwood Middle schools.
Kirsten Powell, School District attomey for the projects, commented that the school district is in
compliance with CEQA through their negative declaration finding. The traffic situation in Saratoga
Page 5 of 9
Minutes for City Council Regular Meeting April 21, 1999
Elementary school will be improved as proposed by the school district based on comments received
from citizens and other parties. With regards to the trees, in reviewing the original inventory forn3.,
she commented that the historical evaluation and designation by the HPC was based on the
build'mgs which have been in existence since 1954, and not the trees. The proposed changes of the
School District have been made to address the concerns of the community. The issues of the trees
and traffic do not have a level of significant impact. Therefore, a negative declaration is
appropriate and complies with the requirements of CEQA.
Stephanie Petrossi, 14688 Stoneridge Drive, School Boardmember, commented that the traffic
issues addressed on Fruitvale are joint problem between various facilities and businesses that exist
in the area. The school's plan addresses gett'mg more cars off the street; however, additional
measures need to be taken. The concerns and issues have been raised by the community and the
school has attempted to address them to everyone's best interest. She urged the Council to accept
the sehool's responses to these issues so that the project can move forward.
There being no further public tesfLmony, Mayor Shaw asked Mr. Walgren and. Mr. Andreson to
respond to the presentations and comments made.
Mr. Walgren commented that the city's traffic engineer worked with staff to review the initial study
and the conclusion was that it was insufficient. Questions were raised by the City, pending a
response from the school dist~et's licensed traffic engineer. With regards to comments made by
Ms. Powell regarding the historical value of the trees, CEQA clearly provides for the inclusion on
local historic inventories of elements beyond just physical structures including geological features
and trees. The city's HPC who maintains the inventory and who put the school on the inventory
maintains that their listing does include the school grounds and the trees.
Furthermore, regarding the baseline issue, CEQA does require that new projects review impacts
that affect current positions. However, the city's position is that it is reasonable to expect that
baseline conditions are not what currently exist for either school site.
In response to Mayor Shaw, Mr. Walgren replied that nothing new was presented this evening that
he has not heard in previous convened meetings. The Council is being asked to respond to the
initial study and addendum reports as any member of the public would be, as part of the review and
comment process. He referred back to the City's response letter to the school wherein it was
indicated that a negative declaration is not adequate; however a mitigated negative declaration at a
minimum would be necessary. Many of the measures discussed this evening such as carpooling,
busing, drop off sites on Allendale are mitigations that have to be tracked into the future. Staffs
recommendation would be to follow through on these measures through the development of a
binding mitigation plan.
In response to a request from the audience, Mr. Walgren explained the difference between a
negative declaration and a mitigated negative declaration.
Discussion ensued regarding the school 's proposed measures and a mitigation monitoring plan.
Mayor Shaw recognized Mr. Andreson, Public Safety Commissioner, who commented that the
PSC has recommended the traffic management at both schools and added that the measures
proposed should be in writing. He announced that Jim Jeffdes, City's traffic engineer, was present
in the audience for questions.
In response to Councilmember Streit, Mr. Jeffdes, replied that the concern regarding the queuing of
traffic onto Fruitvale was discussed by him to Wilbur Smith Associates however it is not in the
report. He illustrated the proposed traffic mitigation that was discussed on the drawings from the
Architect and commented that serious consideration be made to widening the shoulder to 8 foot
from its current width.of4 to 5 feet.
Councilmember Bogosian expressed concern that the,plan does not address the impact to one tree
from the removal of the other l~ee.
Mr. Hunter replied that it was discussed that the impact would be minimal and it would not be a
significant issue because of the distance between the two trees.
Councilmember Bogosian expressed distress with a comment made earlier that trees are not
essentially a part of the historical resources in the city. He requested that the school board ask the
contractor for a performance bond in the amount of approximately $100,000 to comply with the
proposed mitigation measures regarding maintaining the health of the trees during the construction
phase. He commended the school district for their efforts to mitigate traffic in the Saratoga
Elementary project.
Page 6 of 9
Minutes for City Council Regular Meeting April 21, 1999
Councilmember Mehaffey commended the school board for working towards a compromise.
Councilmember Streit reiterated his concerns on traffic. The design work is good and some oftlie
measures proposed are feasible. He is hopeful that the school district will make a commitment to
solve the traffic and commented that it would have been helpful to Council if a representative from
Wilbur Smith Associates was present this evening to respond to his traffic concems. He would like
to preserve the two Eucalyptus trees if at all possible.
Mayor Shaw asked Mr. Walgren what documentation would be necessary to cover all of the
compromises made and measures proposed.
Mr. Walgren replied that his comments earlier to require a mitigation monitoring plan was not to
imply that the school district was not going to follow up on the measures outlined in their report;
they were based on CEQA requirements. It is his understanding that the school district would
rather not have these recommendations tied to their CEQA analysis; however they have offered to
develop an agreement with the City to accomplish these goals.
Councilmember Mehaffey asked and Ms. Gardner confirmed that the time element is the reason
why the school does not want to develop a mitigation monitoring plan.
Councilmember Mehaffey asked the City Attomey for her comment.
Liane Randolph, City Attomey, recommended to forward the specific concerns addressed this
evening to the school district regarding the trees and traffic so that these concerns can be referenced
at the school board's meeting tomorrow night; and, direct staff to work with the school district to
develop an agreement or a memorandum of understanding in lieu of a mitigation monitoring plan
with the understanding that this agreement will not be in place for their meeting tomorrow however
that staff will work with them in the future to develop an agreement.
SHAW/BAKER MOVED TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE A .LIST OF COMPROMISES,
CHANGES AND UNDERSTANDINGS FROM THE ORIGINAL PLAN AND FORWARD
THAT INFORMATION TO THE SCHOOL BOARD FOR ANALYSIS LEADING TOWARD A
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE SCHOOL
BOARD AS TO HOW THE PROJECT WILL PROCEED AND POST HASTE. MOTION
PASSED 5-0.
Mr. Walgren noted that he will not be present at the school board tomorrow night and
recommended that this motion be carried through verbally to the school board meeting tomorrow
night and he will follow up in writing with the school district and work with them to develop an
Memorandum Of Understanding regarding these measures identified in these environmental
reports.
Ms. Gardner commented that four of the five board members are present this evening and Council 's
concems and comments have been duly noted.
City Manager Perlin suggested that due to lack of time and the absence of Mr. Walgren tomorrow
and based on notes taken this evening, the City could prepare a written correspondence reflecting
the Council's comments and conems and forward it to the school board tomorrow. He will follow
it up with a formal letter from Mr. Walgren upon his return.
Ms. Gardner asked clarification with the City Council's position with the trees. In response, City
Manager Perlin commented that the written correspondence that will be forwarded to the school
board will break down the comments and concerns made by Council for each project.
