Re: Ong residence 19051 Austin Way
Dear Chairman / Commissiomer,
About 3 years ago my wife and I purchased the property located at 19061 Austin way and
since then we lived in it with our three children. This property is located East Side of
Ong's residence at 19051 Austin way. Presently a picket fence separates both properties
and we have the view of trees #4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 25 in Ong's residence (please see
attached drawing for the location of the trees). These trees cover the existing building.
One of the main factors of purchasing our property in Austin way was the feeling of
being in a secluded area with the many trees around us.
After reviewing the Ong residence design, it appears that ail of the trees that are currently
blocking the view of the existing house (trees # 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) are to be cut down to
accommodate the new house. Our view that was once of beautiful and healthy trees, is
now going to be replaced by a 3 car garage with driveway coming as close as six feet to
our picket fence and an office building which is perpendicular to the garage. This is not
the view we wish to see from our dining area and the yard. Aside from the view of the
garage and office building, there is no guarantee that there will not be cars, RV, or boat
parked in front of the Ong residence garage. There is also no guarantee that the house
will not be sold sometimes in near future and what the new owner might park there.
In June, 2000 the Community Planning dept. of Saratoga requested examination of the
new building site at 19051 Austin Way by Mr. Barrie D. Coate consulting arborist. The
report (# 06-00-144, dated June 15, 2000) indicates that the two significant trees # 5 and
7 (18" and 10" Oak trees) are heaithy and worth preserving. An addendum report dated
July 12, 2000, by the same consulting arborist indicates that trees # 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 11
are "exceptional specimen and must be retained at any cost and whatever
procedures are needed to retain them in their current condition must be used"
(please see the attached reports). However the current plan shows they are to be removed.
On January 11, 2001 following the Planning Commissions Hearing (Jan. 10, 2001), I
stopped by City Planning Dept. to taik to Mr. Mark Connolly about my concerns. I have
aiso tried to meet Mr. Raymond Nasmeh (Mr. Ong's representative) to go over my
concerns with him. However, Mr. Nesmeh scheduled no meeting and I was mainly
working with the assistant planner Mr. Mark Connolly. I have followed this issue up with
Mark by severai emails, phone cails, and stopping at the Saratoga Planning Dept. (please
see attached emails).
On January 17, 2001 I proposed and submitted four copies of plans with minor
modification to Mr. Connolly of which the first three plans would save six trees # 5, 6, 7,
8, 9, 10 and facing the house in the East direction. The fourth plan would save the 18"
Oak tree #5 that to some degree blocks the view of the house as well (please see attached
proposed plans).
1
On January 29, 2001 I received a call from Mr. Connolly and he told me that the design
has been modified to reflect my #2 plan proposal and requested that I go to Planning
Dept. for review of the redesign. But when I reviewed the new plan, I did not see any
changes. This was communicated to Mr. Connolly as well as other City Planners.
We respectfully request the Planning Commission's consideration on the following
options:
1) Redesign of the house such that the exceptional and fine specimens reported by the
arborist is preserved (report# 06-00-144, dated July 12, 2000).
2)
The attached proposed Plan #2 will preserve 6 exceptional and the two fine specimen
trees. No modification was done to the existing design, the house was only rotated
45° from its current position (entrance of the house will be towards the East).
3)
The proposed plan #5 will only require removal of two main trees (#22. 12" pine and
#24, 13" live oak). All the exceptional and fine specimens will be saved. No
modification was done to the existing footprint, the house was rotated 90° (entrance
of the house will be towards the NE).
4) Since a lot of vegetation is going to be removed, a plan of landscaping should be
'approved to match the natural look of surrounding prior to final approval.
At the previous hearing commissioner Dr. Cynthia Barry proposed continuance based on
lack of arborist report for tress #1 -11 (please see attached report ~fl36-00-144, dated
July l2, 2000). I would like to understand why is an arborist report require only to have it
ignored. The natural beauty of Saratoga could only be preserved by saving and
maintaining its exceptional and fine specimen trees.
The proposed plans #2 and 5 do not require redesign of the existing plan, just relocation
on the lot. Both plans not only preserve trees #5.6,7,8.9,10, and 11. they also provide less
view encroachment from our site.
Thank you and Best Regards,
Mike Garakani

Attn: Mark Connelly
Re: Ong residence 19051 Austin Way.
Dear Mark,
At the Jan. 10th Planning Commission meeting, regarding the Ong residence, I
voiced no objections to the existing plan. After walking and measuring the site
with my neighbor Mike Garakani, he had some concerns about the proximity of the
garage and driveway to his property. Also, we were both concerned about the loss
of trees which offer shielding to his property. He has submitted several
alternatives plans to you and I would like to encourage you to consider his
proposals #2 or #5 Either of these relocations would preserve trees #5, #6, 
which are listed on the arborists report as" Exceptional specimens" and "MUST BE
RETAINED AT ANY COST AND WHATEVER PROCEDURES ARE NEEDED TO RETAIN THEM
esTHEIR CURRENT CONDITION MUST BE USED". In addition #'s 9 &10 would be
erved which are listed as "Fine specimens" (See attached). The report that
included the above mentioned trees was not available for review at the meeting of
the 10th as was noted by one of the commissioners. This was one reason for the
continuence.
The arborist report is required by the City presumably to save trees which would
otherwise be removed or damaged by construction. What is the purpose of hiring an
arborist for his knowledge and expertise if his recommendations are going to being
ignored?
Neither of the two plans we support would require any redesign of the existing
drawings, just relocation on the lot and would save the trees mentioned in the
aborist's report.
Either one of his plans would also provide less view encroachment from our site.
The reason we moved to and enjoy are home is due to the mature trees and natural
landscaping of the area.
respectfully request that these options be considered by the Commission.

An Examinatiou Of T~
ailding Site At 19051 Austin Way.
Assignment
i was asked by Christian Ratcliffe to examine the proposed residence location at 19051
Austin Way, as relates to tree locations toward the goal of recommending changes in
placement of the residence, if necessary, in order to preserve significant trees.
-Summary
it would certainly be possible to build the building essentially as designed. If one large
redwood; two large Douglas firs and one large coast live oak which are adjacent to but
outside the footprint of the new proposed building are to be preserved, some changes in
building shape will be necessary..
The building plan would affect the health and longevity of eleven trees. Six of those trees
#2, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are inside the building footprint and of course would be removed.
Trees #2, 6, and 8 are too small to be protected by city ordinance.
Trees #3 and 10 are immediately adjacent to the building footprint and would be so
severely damaged as to be lost if the building is constructed as shown. Trees # 1, 4, and 11
are slightly farther from the building footprint and with some moderate changes in design
could no doubt be preserved if pier and beam foundation is used near them and no
excavation is done inside the foundation for crawl space.
Discussion
By use of the proposed building footprint trees #2, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, a small southern
magnolia, an 18-inch coast live oak, a small twin trunk European olive, a 10-inch coast
live oak, a small 5-inch coast live oak'and a twin mink 12-inch and 18- inch coast
redwood would be removed. #2, 6, and #8 are small trees.
In my opinion, the only ones of these which are significant are the two oaks #5 and #7
which are healthy and worth preserving.
Urifortunately, they are fight in the building footprint.
Tree ~'
,,.~, a canary island date palm, would have to be removed because of its proximity to
new construction but that species is easily transplanted or given away, if&sired, and are
probably not of great significance to the area.
The trees of most concern in my opinion are coast live oak #I, Douglas firs #4 and I0
and coast redwood # 11, which are so close to proposed construction footprint that they
would be badly damaged unless changes are made in building design.
Construction distances away from each of those trees' trunks should be 20-feet from the
trunk of tree #1, 18-feet from the mmlc of tree #4, 18-feet from the tnmk of tree #10 and
20-feet from the trunk of tree #11.

activities. Saratoga and other "nOnentitlement"' cities (population under
50,000), receive HCDA funds fi:om the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Program through a corporative agreement with the County of
Santa Clara, the locally responsible grant recipient.
Analyst Reeve noted that as a nonentitlement jurisdiction, the City of
Saratoga would receive $165,874.00, plus $15,000.00 to cover program
administration expenses, for a tothl of $180,874.00.
Analyst Reeve noted that the City of Saratoga has received one human

public comment. ;
Jaclyn Fabre, Executive Director/Cupertino Community Services, briefly
explained the services CCS provides and asked the Council to support the
funding to help support the proposed 24-unit affordable housing complex in
Cupertino.
Councilmember Baker explained that although he fully supports CCS-and
the proposed affordable housing project, this year might be the last year the
City of Saratoga allocates CDBG funds to CCS. Councilmember Baker
noted that with the recent demands of affordable housing and the recently
released ABAG assessment report the City of Saratoga needs to fund
projects that would give the City credit towards affordable housing units
here in Saratoga, not in Cupertino.
Vice Mayor Streit asked Ms. Fabre if the City of Saratoga would get credit
for helping Cupertino.
Tom Early/Bridge Housing responded that he recently discussed this
possibility with ABAG, but unfortunately current RDA and Housing Laws
prohibit that concept.
Analyst Reeve noted that CCS is extremely helpful and is the only referral
the City of Saratoga has to offer, citizens in need.
Betty Feldheim, 10185 North Stelling Road, noted that she is the appointed
representative to the HCD - Citizen Advisory Committee. Ms. Feldheim
noted that the City Council did not allocate any funds to CCS last year and
encouraged the Council to please support CCS this year in their efforts to
build a 24-unit affordable housing complex.
Bob Campbell, Executive Director/Project Match, thanked the City Council
for their continued support over the years. Mr. Campbell noted that Project
Match has been in collaboration with the City of Saratoga since 1991. Mr.
Campbell explained that the owner of the property recently sold the current
senior group home on 20218 Blauer Avenue. Mr. Campbell noted that he
has negotiated a rental agreement with Community Housing Developers to
rent a four-bedroom home located on 1552 Johnson Avenue.
Karen Lorenz, Administrative Director/SASCC, thanked the City Council

AGENDA ITEM: ~
CITY MANAGER: ~-~~~-.~--~
DEPT HEAD:
SUBJECT: A-00-002 & AZO-00-001 - Petition of Annexation; 19770 Glen Una Drive,
Lands of Eschen & Eschenroeder (Assessor Parcel Number 510-26-047).
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Approve the petition of annexation by adopting the attached Resolution.
REPORT SUMMARY:
By a~eement with the County. of Santa Clara and the Local Agency Formation Commission
(LAFCO) an annexation to the City. is generally required when development is proposed on
parcels that are contiguous to the City boundary, and that are located xvithin the City's Urban
Service Area (USA). Owners of these contiguous parcels may request a waiver from annexation
if they desire to develop under County regulations. The City has usually denied these waiver
requests except in cases when urban services are not readily available or where severe geologic
conditions may exist.
The requested petition relates to a lot with an existing residence that is situated on Glen Una
Drive across from the City boundary to the north and adjacent to the boundary on the east. This
adjacent parcel was annexed to the City in 1984. This side of Glen Una Drive is pre-zoned
Hillside Residential and is located within the City's Urban Service Area. The property has direct
access to Glen Una Drive and all required services are existing or available. The proposed
residence will be connected to the existing sewer system. The proposed residence is in
conformance with the regulations of the Hillside Residential zoning district.
The Planning Commission reviewed the annexation request, along with the Design Review
application, on November 21, 2000. A copy of the Staff Report, Resolutions and Minutes from
the meeting are attached for reference. The Planning Commission did recommend approval to
the City. Council of the Annexation and Zoning Ordinance Amendment. The Planning
Commission also approved the Design Review application pending approval of the Annexation
by the City Council.
A-00-002/AZO-00-001- Eschen/Eschenroeder: 19770 Glen Una Drive
The project involves demolition of an existing 3,101 square foot residence, 1,068 square foot
detached garage and 940 square foot barn, totaling 5,109 square feet. The applicants propose to
construct a new two-story residence with a first floor of 5,052 square feet and a second floor of
519 square feet with a 760 square foot detached guesthouse for a total square footage of 6,331
square feet. The maximum height of the proposed residence is 26 feet and the maximum height
o f the proposed guesthouse is 15 feet.
The property has direct access to Glen Una Drive, this portion of which is maintained by the
City. All required services are available to the property as indicated in the attached Municipal -
Pi~an for Services. As discussed, the properly has been pre-zoned Hillside Residential (HR), and
once annexed will be subject to the development regulations of the HR zoning district.
Stuff has identified the following in support of the annexation:
· The City's stricter design standards, size and height limitations, and impervious coverage
restrictions will ensure that the new residence and guesthouse are consistent with the
other homes in the neighborhood.
· The property is within the City's Sphere of Influence and already benefits from many
ci ,tywide services.
· The City would receive property tax revenue to help offset the cost of those services.
FI[SCAL hMPACTS:
Negligible.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT ACTING ON RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
If the request is not granted, the property' would likely be developed according to the submitted
plans. However the applicants could revise their plans to take advantage of less restrictive
Counb, standards.
~LTERNATIYE ACTION:
None
FOLLOW UP ACTIONS:
Process the necessary applications with Local Agency Formation Commission to finalize the
boundary adjustment process. Amend City Base, General Plan and Zoning Maps accordingly.

SUBJECT: City Regulation of Fire District Operations
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
STAFF REPORT:
Accept report and direct staff accordingly.
At its meeting of April 4, 2001 the City Council requested a report from
this office concerning the Cit-y's ability to regulate or control the provision of fire
protection sen'ices within the CID'. We conclude that the CiD' may not regulate the Fire
Protection Districts which Sel've the CiD' of Saratoga. The City, may adopt fire protection
policies and urge the Districts to operate in a manner that is consistent with those policies.
In lieu of regulating or seeking to influence the Districts, the City may seek to assume
responsibility for providing fire protection sen'ices within the City by petitioning the
Santa Clara Count3: Local Agency Formation Commission to reorganize the two districts
in a manner that would allow the Cit3, to assume responsibility for providing fire
protection sen-ices.
Background
Fire protection sen:ices within the City of Saratoga are currently provided
by two fire districts. The Santa Clara County Fire District serves portions of Santa Clara
County and the communities of Campbell, Cupertino, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los
Gatos, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill and Saratoga. It is governed by the Santa Clara
County Board of Supervisors. The Saratoga Fire District serves approximately 12 square
miles encompassing one-half of the City and sections of the unincorporated areas to the
south. The Saratoga Fire District is governed by a three member of directors elected by
district residents. Both districts are organized under the Fire Protection District Law of
1987. Both Districts were established before Saratoga was incorporated in 1956. While
many cities assume the responsibilities of pre-existing fire districts upon incorporation,
Saratoga formed itself as a "minimum services city" and therefore left the responsibility
fi>r fire protection and various other public services (i.e., sewer and water) with the
districts that had been providing those services prior to incorporation.
In response to requests from the community, the City through its Public
Safety Commission has been investigating the provision of fire protection services in the
City. In connection with this inquiw, the CID-)' Council requested a report on the CiD:'s
attthority to regulate the provision of fire protection services in the City. The remainder
of this report discusses this issue.
Regulatory Authority
The CiD' derives its regulatory authority from Article XI, section 7 of the
California Constitution which gives each ciD' the power to "make and enforce within its
lirnits all such local, police, sanitary, and other regulations as are not in conflict with
general laws. This power does not extend, however, to the State of California or its
agents. In 1956 the California Supreme Court held that the State "is not subject to local
regulations unless the Constitution says it is or the Legislature has consented to such
regulation." (Hall v. CiO' of Taft (1956) 47 Cal.2d 177, 183 [302 P.2d 574].) In this case,
the two fire protection districts sen:ing city residents are considered agents of the state
because they are operating pursuant to state authorization under the Fire Protection
District Law of 1987. Nothing in that law consents to local regulation of the manner in
which a district provides fire protection services.
The legislature has provided limited consent to local government zoning
and building code regulations. State agents such as school districts and the fire districts
must comply with local building and zoning codes unless the district determines, by a 4/5
vote of its governing board, that it wishes to override the local zoning ordinance. The
Ci ~,'s zoning powers, however, extend only to land use matters and not to issues such as
standards of sendce for fire protection. Accordingly, this limited consent to local
regulation is not sufficient to form the basis of regulations governing service standards.
Policv Guidance
The City may seek to influence the manner in which service is provided in a
number of ways. For example, the CiD: may adopt policy statements, direct City staff to
consult with District officials regarding issues affecting the City, or offer financial
ass istance to assist in the acquisition of equipment to enhance services provided in the
City.
If the City Council determines that certain fire protection practices and
procedures are warranted in the City, it could adopt a resolution establishing a City policy
to that effect. Although the resolution would not be binding on the fire Districts, the
Council could direct staff to pursue a cooperative planning process with the Districts to
identify any additional measures that may be needed to implement the policy. If the City
wished to make the policy binding on the Districts, it could request that the Districts
adopt the policy, perhaps through a memorandum of agreement with the CIG'. A variant
of this approach would involve a formal contract between the City and a fire District
whereby the CiD' provides specified funds or services in exchange for the District's
agreement to abide by specified performance standards. The specific manner in which
any such cooperative program would be implemented would depend on the City's
particular policy objectives and the willin~o-ness of each District to cooperate with the
CID'.
In addition, it is important to note that the City is free to use its land use and
other governmental powers to adopt policies and ordinances to enhance fire prevention
and control in the City. The City has already taken steps in this direction such as
requiring all roofing materials to be fire retardant, administering the fire hazard nuisance
abatement program, and requiring early warning fire alarm systems in new construction.
The CiD' can also promote fire protection through the manner in which designs street
improvements and other public works and requires the installation of fire hydrants. These
measures do not involve regulation or control of the fire districts but have been developed
cooperatively with the districts over the years to enhance fire protection in the CID'.
There may be additional such measures that could be explored together with the Districts.
Assumption of Control
A third approach to regulating or controlling the provision of fire sen'ices
within the CiD' would be for the CiD· to assume responsibility for providing fire
protection services within the City. This would involve filing a resolution with the Santa
Clara County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) requesting a
reorganization of the two existing fire protection districts in a manner that leaves the City
with responsibility for and control of fire protection within the City. This approach
requires the approval of LAFCO.
The specific form of the reorganization would need to be determined based
on further study. One possibility could be establishing a City fire department and
adjusting the boundaries of the two Districts to exclude Saratoga so that the City-
managed fire department would have exclusive jurisdiction within the City. Another
possibility could be to adjust the boundaries of the two districts such that the Saratoga
Fire District sen'es the City and the County Fire District serves the unincorporated area
3
previously sen:ed by Saratoga Fire District; this would allow LAFCO to make the City,
Council the governing board of the Saratoga Fire District by redesignating the Saratoga
F:.re District as a subsidiary district of the City. These examples are given as illustrations
only; they may or may not be operationally or financially feasible. Moreover, other forms
of reorganization are also possible. The form of the reorganization requested will depend
largely on the City's specific objectives and on a detailed study of the fiscal consequences
of the various reorganization options that could achieve those objectives.
In order to proceed with a reorganization, the City would file an application
fcr the reorganization with the LAFCO. That application would include a "Plan for
Services" demonstrating how the City would provide the fire protection services currently
provided by the two districts. LAFCO would evaluate that plan and any alternative plans
submitted by the Districts or the public through a formal heating process. The specific
manner in which the application would be reviewed would depend on the specific form of
the reorganization requested and the position of the Districts with respect to the
application.
FI[SCAL IMPACTS: The fiscal impacts would vaD' widely depending on the course of
action selected. Because the Ci~' does not currently provide fire sen, ices, any increased.
involvement in the area of fire protection will incur costs beyond those that the City has
incurred in the past. Adopting non-binding fire protection policies will require staff time
ar:d may require hiring experts qualified to advise the City regarding various policy
options. Pursuing a reorganization would require retaining a consultant to advise the Cit3."
on alternative organizational options and the fiscal consequences of those options. Staff
has not investigated the likely costs of such services at this time.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Notice for this meeting.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT ACTING ON RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
Staff will take no further action with respect to regulating or controlling the provision of
fire services in the City.
FOLLOW UP ACTIONS: Implement Council directives.

PREPA~R~ED BY: Ciq' Attorney
SUBJECT: Resolution Endorsing AB 613 Introduced by Assembly Member Cohn
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Adopt the attached resolution urging adoption of Assembly Bill 613 requiring community
college districts to abide by use permit conditions that they propose when those
conditions are adopted by a city or county without objection from the district.
STAFF REPORT:
Summary
Assembly Member Cohn has introduced Assembly Bill 613 which would require
community college districts to abide by use permit conditions that were originally
proposed by those districts. The legislation directly affects the City of Saratoga because
it would require the West Valley-Mission Community College District to comply with the
provisions of the City's use permit in which the District agreed that no stadium would be
permitted at the West Valley campus. The attached resolution urges adoption of the bill.
Back~ound
The West Valley-Mission Community College District operates two
campuses. Because the West Valley campus site is (and was at the time it was proposed)
in the midst of a number of established neighborhoods, the potential for noise, traffic, and
light and glare impacts from a stadium were a concern to the community from the outset.
After considerable public controversy when the campus was first proposed, the District
modified the campus proposal to exclude an outdoor sports stadium. This limitation was
reflected in the use permit granted by the City in 1967.
As the campus was developed in the 1970s, a large bowl was excavated as
ifa stadium were to be constructed. Investigation by the surrounding neighbors and the
City revealed two sets of construction plans, one of which showed a major stadium.
I_itigation ensued withjudgrnent being entered against the District. In 1976 the District
requested a use permit amendment to allow development of a stadium. The amendment
was denied. In 1977, the Saratoga electorate qualified an initiative measure prohibiting
stadiums in all zoning districts. The measure was adopted by a unanimous vote of the
Saratoga City Council in lieu of being submitted to the voters.
In 1979, the District, the neighbors and the City engaged in negotiations
concerning use of the various athletic facilities on campus. These negotiations resulted in
a proposal by the District to add the following condition to its use permit:
The District will not develop any new outdoor intercollegiate sports facilities with
permanent sound system or permanent seating or permanent lights on the Saratoga
campus. No sports stadium will be built on the campus. No existing outdoor
facility or area of the campus xvill be modified to include lights, sound, seats or
other accommodations for intercollegiate sports or other spectator events.
Tine District also agreed to be bound by this amendment regardless of any further changes
tc the use permit. The permit stated:
Should any or all of the other provisions of this use permit (other than condition
#7) be declared null, void, or invalid, then this section (condition #7) shall remain
as a separate binding agreement between the City of Saratoga and West Valley
Joint Community College District with regard to the use of the land on which the
Saratoga campus is located.
These provisions xvere adopted by the City without objection by the District.
In 1996, the District claimed that Government Code section 53094
authorized the District to disregard the City's use permit (including the provisions
proposed by the District in 1979). The City challenged this decision and the matter is
currently under review by the Court of Appeal.
Discussion
Government Code section 53094 authorizes community college districts
mtd other school districts to exempt themselves from local zoning ordinances under
certain circumstances. A district board of directors may exempt a proposed use from local
zoning if two-thirds or more of the District Board votes in favor of the exemption. In
addition, the exemption may not be applied to any non-classroom facility and the
2
exemption must not be arbitrary or capricious. The District has taken the position that
Government Code section 53094 allows a district to propose a project in a community,
agree to various permit conditions to mitigate impacts, and to then exempt itself from
those conditions. This does not appear to have been an intended consequence of the
legislation.
AB 613 would correct this situation. The bill would provide that a
communi~' college district may not exempt a proposed use if that use would conflict with
a use permit condition proposed by the district and adopted by the local government
without objection by the district. The bill would apply retroactively and would also make
various technical corrections to section 53094. Because the current West Valley College
use permit condition prohibiting a stadium ~vas proposed by the District and was not
opposed by the District prior to the City's adoption of the condition, the legislation would
require the District to abide by the use permit condition or apply to the City for an
amendment to the use permit.
FISCAL IMPACTS: None
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Notice for this meeting.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT ACTING ON RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
No expression of support would be adopted.
FOLLOW UP ACTIONS: Staff will transmit the resolution to Assembly Member Cohn
and other members of the Legislature.

AGENDA ITEM:
CITY MANAGER:
DEPT HE.M):
SUBJECT: Proposal for preparation of a conceptual plan for Azule Park.
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Approve proposal from Greg G. Ing& Associates in the amount of S 19,800 for preparation of a
conceptual plan for Azule Park and authorize the City Manager to execute same.
REPORT SUMMARY:
At the Ciw Council and Parks and Recreation Commission joint meeting on March 27, Council
directed staff and the Parks and Recreation Commission to move forward with preparation of a
conceptual plan for improving the undeveloped Azule site into a neighborhood park.
In order to move ahead on the project as expeditiously as possible, staffand the Parks and
Recreation Commission recommend that Greg lng. & Associates, who are currently the City's
landscape architects for the Con~ess Springs Park Improvement Project, prepare a conceptual plan
for .42ule Park. This will save approximately t'`'`:o months in the process, which ,,',:ill allow
sufficient time to develop a project scope and a cost estimate so the Azule Park Improvement
Project can be considered in the upcoming Capital Improvement Plan. Additionally, there is support
from the .42ule Park Neighborhood Committee for moving forward with the project as stated
above.
If the proposal is approved, the timeline for development of the conceptual plan '`','ill be as follows:
· April 18 - Ci~' Council approves proposal to develop conceptual plan.
· May 7 - Parks & Recreation Commission reviews and approves Azule neighborhood
survey letter.
· Week of May 7 -Sun, ey letter is mailed to Azule neighborhood.
· May 31 - Sun'ey letter due from Azule nei?~hborhood.
· June 4 - Azule neighborhood meeting to discuss conceptual plan with landscape architect
and Parks and Recreation Commission.
· July 2 - ~ul~ Park draf~ conceptual plan reviewed with Azule neighborhood and Parks and
Recreation Commission.
· August 6 - Azule Park final conceptual plan reviewed with Azule neighborhood and Parks
and Recreation Commission.
· August 15 - Final conceptual plan reviewed by the City Council for approval.
It is therefore recommended that Council approve the proposal from Greg G. Ing& Associates for
preparation of a conceptual plan for Azule Park and authorize the City Manager to execute same.

AGENDA ITEM:

DEPT HEAD:
SUBJECT: FY 2000/2001 Cit?--'/Counb' Communib, Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Contract
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
Move to approve the FY 2000/2001 City/Count?-' Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Contract, and Authorize the Ci~' Manager to execute the Agreement on behalf
of the City.
REPORT SUMMARY:
This staff report addresses a number of areas to implement the FY 2000/2001
Ci~'/County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) contract including 1)
background, 2) designating the Santa Clara Count)..' Housing Rehabilitation Program as
administrator of the Saratoga Housing Assistance and Rehabilitation Program
(SHARP); and 3) the lump sum transfer of revoMng housing rehabilitation loan funds to
the Santa Clara County Housing Rehabilitation Program
1. Backeround
The City of Saratoga receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
funds as a member of the Count5.' of Santa Clara Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Joint Powers Authority. The City is required to execute an annual contract
with the County of Santa Clara, the locally responsible grant recipient, outlining the
obligations and fiscal responsibilities of each part3.-- (Attachment A).
Desienating the Santa Clara County Housing Rehabilitation Program as
administrator of the Saratoea Housing Assistance and Rehabilitation Program
(SHARP)
The FY 2000/2001 CDBG contract varies little from prior years, other than containing a
provision to transfer administration of the Saratoga Housing Assistance and
Rehabilitation Program (SHARP) to the Santa Clara Count).' Housing Rehabilitation
Program (Exhibit 1). This added feature created a delay in the contract preparation
process, as the exhibit was revised and approved by legal counsel from the various
participating cities and the County. Many of the member cities are also transferring their
housing rehabilitation programs in an effort to streamline the administrative process, and
utilize the County's already existing and very effective program.
The Santa Clara County Housing Rehabilitation Program will provide all Ph_ases of
housing rehabilitation t° Saratoga including: application processing, the bid process,
loan preparation, construction oversight and loan servicing.
3. Lump Sum Transfer
Saratoga w411 make a lump sum transfer of $90,999.41 from its revolving housing
rehabilitation loan funds, to the Santa Clara Count5' Housing Rehabilitation Program to
be applied towards projects located within the City.. of Saratoga. These funds have been
designated from the CDBG Program, specifically for the purpose of housing
rehabilitation.projects, since SHARP began in 1975. The primary purpose of the Cit5"s
Housing Rehabilitation Program is to provide Zero Interest Partially Deferred Payment
and Below Market Rate Interest Loans to eligible homeowners city-wide. SHARP is
designed to bring existing substandard dwelling units up to local hoUsing standards.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The Ci~' of Saratoga will pay the Count, $20,000 tO-administrate its Housing
Rehabilitation Program, and complete four projects per year. Prior to this point,
Saratoga was required to pay the County $15,000 per year to receive housing
rehabilitation services. Consequently, the $5,000 increase-will provide a tremendous
benefit, and cost far less than it currently does for the Cits' to administer its own
program. The City of Saratoga will pay the County $2,000 for each additional project
beyond the agreed upon number of four. Historically, the CiB' has completed an average
of three project.s per year.~...

ORIGINATING DEPT: Public Works
PREPARED BY: ~ (~_~x~.~
AGENDA ITEM:
CITY MANAGER:
SUBJECT:
Citywide Pavement Condition Update and Approval of Cooperative Agreement
with the City of Cupertino for Prospect Road Paving
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
1. Accept Citywide Pavement Condition Report
2. Authorize City Manager to execute a Cooperative Agreement with the City of Cupertino for
Prospect Road Paving from Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road to Union Pacific Railroad Crossing.
REPORT SUMMARY:
1. Citywide Pavement Condition Update
In February, Council approved a consultant contract with Harris & Associates for a condition
inspection update of the City's pavement system, which included a transfer of the City's current
Pavement Management System (PMS) to the widely utilized Metropolitan Transportation
Commission's (MTC) PMS database.
A PMS database systematically recommends various maintenance treatments for all publicly
maintained streets in the City. The program is built upon a model, which assumes standard
pavement performance characteristics for various street classifications over time, and which
attempts to extend the life of a street before reconstruction is needed to approximately 100 years.
By carrying out the recommended maintenance treatments the City will, over time, reduce its
annual pavement maintenance costs.
Attached to this report is the final draft report of City's pavement system, prepared by Hams &
Associates. The report provides information on the City's current pavement network inventory;
current network conditions, maintenance recommendations, and budget scenarios.
I am pleased to report that the current overall condition of the City's streets is rated "Very Good"
corresponding to an average Pavement Condition Index of 70 on a 100-point scale. Please refer to
the executive summary of the attached final report for detailed information regarding recommended
street maintenance funding levels over the next ten years.
2. Cooperative Agreement with the City of Cupertino for Prospect Road Paving from Saratoga-
Sunnyvale Road to Union Pacific Railroad Crossing
Recently the City of Cupertino approached the City with a proposal to enter into a cooperative
agreement in connection with paving work on Prospect Road along our shared city limit line (the
City shares a common boarder along the centerline of Prospect Road between Saratoga-Sunnyvale
Road and the Union Pacific Raikoad Crossing with the City of Cupertino). A detailed project
scope is included in the attached cooperative agreement for your information. The estimate for this
work is $125,150.
Cooperative agreements of this kind have been executed between the City and its neighbors
occasionally through the years. The most recent cooperative agreement was executed around 1992
with the City of San Jose when Saratoga performed a paving project along the shared section of
Prospect Road. Joint city paving projects benefit both jurisdictions by normalizing the pavement
condition of the commonly shared road.
The City of Cupertino is in the process of bidding this work, and work should begin in August.
This section of Prospect Road was scheduled for paving in this year's Pavement Management
Program, so the work will not impact the pavement management program schedule or budget.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The adopted budget contains sufficient funds to cover the expenditures associated with the
cooperative agreement in Activity 3005 (Street Maintenance) o Account No. 4010 (Contract
Services).
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
The report would not be accepted and the upcoming Pavement Management Project would be
delayed.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
None in addition to the above.
FOLLOW UP ACTION(S):
A list of City streets will be generated for inclusion in this year's Pavement Management Program.
Staff will solicit bids and submit a construction contract to the Council on September 5.

Executive Summary
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Pavement Management System (PMS) for the City of Saratoga provides a current pavement
network inventory, current network conditions, maintenance recommendations, and a forecasting of
the budget needs and funding scenario impact.
Limits of Study
It must be recognized that this report is limited to existing pavement repairs. It does not include
existing deficiencies for right-of-way concrete sidewalks, curb & gutter, drainage, trees, bus pads
and non-structural improvements such as decorative crosswalks, medians, lighting and street
furniture. Costs for these right-of-way repairs and improvements throughout the City would
easily exceed the deferred maintenance costs identified in this report and can be identified and
estimated separately in future reports.
The following recommendations generated by the Pavement Management System are fo__rr
planning purposes only. The resulting general recommendations are not intended to replace
sound engineering judgemevt, which should dictate specific needs for an individual project.
Final work program recommendations should be based on a combination of the system's
recommendations weighed against the City's preferences, budget constraints, and other
contributing factors. In addition, further refinements may be warranted from an engineering staff
review of the pavement condition. For example, a particular pavement section may require
treatment earlier (or later) than the rest of the roads in its localized area.
Quantity of pavement & replacement value
The pavement network' within the City of Saratoga has approximately 135.2 centerline~ miles of
paved surfaces. The network is composed of approximately 92.6 miles of residential streets,
23.3 miles of collector streets, and 19.3 miles of arterial streets.
The estimated reconstruction cost of the City's asphalt concrete pavement is approXimately $44
million for residential streets, $10.9 million for 'collector streets, $14.2 million for arterial streets
and $4.8 for other pavement (a total of almost $69 million).
Condition of Saratoga's Street Asphalt Pavement
The overall condition of the City of Saratoga's street pavement is rated in the lower range of
"Very Good". The City's average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is 70 on a 100-point scale,
with 100 being a new street. PCI's for the City's pavement network are based on a distress
rating calculated by an algorithm the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) Bay Area
modified from algorithms the Army Corps of Engineers developed. Saratoga's average PCI
condition value by street classification is as follows:
* Note: PCI weighted by area.

Executive Summary
The maintenance strategy for the City of Saratoga described below is based on PCI scores and the
corresponding condition category. Streets with scores from 70 to 100 are considered "Very
Good", but may require a crack seal, a slurry seal or a thin overlay. Streets with scores from 50
:~'~::::~'-~'~-¥-0"-(~i) ai:~-~'6h~-i~-~-'"Go0d" and generally-r-~-~iiii~6h- thin ~x;-erlay. Streets with scores from 26 to
49 are considered "Poor" and typically require a thick overlay.. Streets with scores below 26 are
"Very Poor" and need surface reconstruction.
in the present condition, about 0.9% of-the City's pavement network area is in need of structural
reconstruction.
Budget Analysis
Using the treatment strategy described above, an inflation rate of 4%, and an interest rate of 6%,'
the MTC PMS software generates a Budget Needs analysis. The Budget Needs analysis projects
the total budget needed to bring the City's pavement network to an optimal condition where most
pavement sections require only minor preventative maintenance. The difference between the
interest rate and the inflation rate help to determine the cost effectiveness of the recommended
treatments. Budget Needs dete:Xnined a ten-year total need of approximately $25.7 million
(about $2.57 million/year) for the years 2001 to 2010 (see Section IV-A for the Budget Needs
Cost Summary).
After Budget Needs, Budget Scenarios are run to determine the funding levels required to
maintain and/or improve the current level of overall condition and generate a work program for
the next ten (10) years based upon actual road pavement conditions. For the city of Saratoga, a
projected budget of $1.35 million for the first year, $1.4 million for the second year, and
$650,000 for the remaining eight years was assumed.
Budget Analysis Results
At the City's base funding level described above, the overall network condition declines from a
72 PCI in the year 2001 to a 65 PCI in the year 20010 (PCI scores after suggested treatments
applied). The backlog of deferred maintenance, valued at approximately $I0.5 million in the
year 2001, increases to about $20.4 million in the year 2010.
The City's projected budget was compared against four (4) other annual budget scenarios ($1.0
million, $1.5 million, $2.5 million, and the needs average ($2.6 million)). The Budget Scenario
analysis Shows that the $1.5 million annual budget level is required to maintain the overall
network PCI and maintain the current level of deferred maintenance.
Scenario charts showing the impact of different budgets on network condition and deferred
backlog over a ten-year period can be found in Sections IV-B and IV-C. Cost and network
summaries can be found in Section IV-D.
Annual Budget Projections
The budgeting process was approached with the following in mind: generate a work program for
the next ten (10) years based upon actual road pavement conditions and determine the funding
levels required to maintain and/or improve the current level of overall condition.
Based on current and projected pavement maintenance needs, annual work program alternatives

Executive Summary
Recommended maintenance program and costs
To rea!izg..th_.:~:.maX~__ imum net b.~pefit and to reduce the long term costs, preventative maintenance
on streets with above a~age .PCI ratings ~mus~--~¢ considered in combination with the more
extensive rehabilitation of failing streets. The strategies herein were developed to provide
alternatives for halting the deterioration of the existing pavement, reducing the backlog of street
maintenance work over the next five yearsi and improving the overall condition of the roadway
network. These strategies generally involve the utilization of crack sealing, slurry seals, cape
seals and pavement overlays with base repair as maintenance components. Future roadway
maintenance plans for the City of Saratoga should be based on the general maintenance strategies
developed from this pavement system analysis in combination with other major contributing
factors such as utility coordination, grouping of projects by geographical proximity, and safety
considerations.
