EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NO. Z ?jam% AGENDA ITEM
MEETING DATE: October 6, 1993 CITY MGR.
ORIGINATING DEPT.: Public Works
SUBJECT: Quarry Creek Restoration, Capital Project No. 9109 -
Approval of Consulting Services Agreement
Recommended Motion(s): Move to approve the attached proposal from
H.T. Harvey & Associates for consulting services on the project and
authorize staff to execute a standard Professional Services
Agreement with this firm in the amount of $23,455.
Report Summary: Over the past several years, staff has been
negotiating with the Army Corps of Engineers and the Department of
Fish and Game to develop an acceptable mitigation plan for the
Quarry Creek /Quarry Road repair project. During this time, the
primary obstacle to developing a plan has been the Army Corps'
insistence that on -site replacement of lost wetland habitat be a
part of the mitigation plan. The City has repeatedly opposed this
requirement, at the advice of its consultants who contend that
creation of wetlands on the surface of the buttress fill will tend
to weaken the buttress and result in more severe problems over
time. Instead, it has been the City's position that appropriate
on -site mitigation should entail creation of woodland,, rather than
wetland, habitat.
Recently, staff has iproposed a compromise solution to the Corps
which would involve mitigating the project site with woodland
habitat while mitigating for the lost wetland habitat at a suitable
off -site location. In retrospect, this probably should have been
the mitigation scheme for the project all along as it represents a
method commonly accepted by the Corps for mitigating lost wetland
habitat (Route 85 for example).
Staff, working with its consultants, H.T. Harvey and Associates,
has identified a very promising location on the campus of West
Valley College to create what appears could be valuable wetland
habitat as replacement habitat for the Quarry Creek site. The
proposed restoration area is a narrow knoll between two converging
creeks just north of the tennis courts and east of the baseball
field. Preliminary reactions from the Corps and the Dep't. of Fish
and Game suggest that a wetland restoration project in this area
could more than compensate for the lost wetland habitat in Quarry
Creek. Furthermore, several college officials with whom I have met
to discuss the potential project have indicated their support for
it as well. The project would be carried out by the City with the
joint cooperation of the College and would then be turned over to
the College for long term monitoring and management of the site.
Attached is a proposal from H.T. Harvey and Assoc. to develop both
the wetland and woodland restoration projects. The total cost to
complete the design of both projects in accordance with the
identified scope of work is $23,455. Also attached is a budget for
the entire project which includes cost estimates for the remaining
work to be done at the Quarry Creek site as well as for completion
of drainage improvements and landscaping. If the Council is
supportive of this concept, all of the work can be completed by the
end of the year and the Quarry Creek project can be brought to a
successful conclusion once and for all.
Fiscal Impacts: The Quarry Creek project is funded through Capital
Project No. 9109 in the adopted FY 93 -94 budget. Funding for the
project is via the Quarry Creek Trust Account, Fund 68, which has
a current balance of $66,850. Sufficient funds exist therefor to
complete the project as proposed.
Follow Up Actions: Staff will execute a standard Professional
Services Agreement with H.T. Harvey and Associates for $23,455 and
will then authorize them to proceed with their work.
Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions: The proposal
will not be accepted and staff will await further instructions from
the Council.

SUBJECT: Quarry Creek Restoration Proposal
Dear Mr. Perlin,
Attached you will please find our revised proposal for designing and supervising restoration
on the Quarry Creek buttress surface and at the West Valley College site. We have pre-
pared this proposal based on taking a very low tech, low cost approach to conducting the
restoration and we feel that the cost will be very reasonable compared to most restoration
projects. The cost estimate appended to the proposal only covers our labor cost. Addi-
tional costs would be incurred for materials (est. $3- 5,000), student labor from the College
unless they work as volunteers (which I consider likely), and City work crews and equip-
ment operation costs.
We hope that our proposal meets the your needs and we look forward to working with the
City on this project. Please call me if you have any questions or suggestions.
Sincerely,
&A

WEST VALLEY COLLEGE SITE-
QUARRY CREEK RIPARIAN RESTORATION PLAN
PROPOSAL
8/24/93
H. T. Harvey and Associates proposes to provide ecological consulting services to the City
of Saratoga by preparing an off -site (West Valley College) riparian restoration plan and a
buttress restoration plan for the Quarry Creek project. This would entail the preparation
of conceptual and final revegetation plans, to be .coordinated with the City, West Valley
College, and the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG).
Attached is a cost estimate which is valid for a period of 60 days from the time of submittal.
All charges will be billed on a time and charges, not -to- exceed basis. The tasks associated
with this proposal are as follows:
TASK 1. DEVELOP CONCEPTUAL RESTORATION PLANS
Quarry Creek Buttress Surface Restoration
A brief narrative will be- prepared describing the natural restoration occuring.and the
potential (if required) for enhancing that restoration with a low -tech approach to establish-
ing native shrubs and trees on the buttress surface. This document will describe planting
methods, maintenance requirements and monitoring criteria.
Off-Site Restoration
A potential mitigation site has already been ideZfd ' n the W est Valley Campus. Dan
Stephens of Harvey and Associates met with Mr. Rose (West Valley College Dept. of
Biology) who indicated that the College might allow the site to be used for riparian mitiga-
tion. The site appears to, be approximately 1.5 acres in size, which should be adequate to
mitigate Quarry Creek riparian impacts (0.6 acres) at a 2:1 ratio. It is assumed that the
CDFG will accept a 2:1 mitigation ratio since the surface of the Quarry Creek buttress is
906 ELIZABETH STREET - F.O. BOX 7180 • ALVISO, CA 95002 • 408 - 263 -1814
FAX: 408- 263.3823
currently being recolonized by native vegetation, and as such presents some mitigation
value.
It is proposed that Harvey and Associates prepare a very brief conceptual plan for the West
Valley College mitigation site containing a description of the overall project, the proposed
revegetation /grading component, and a sketch of the site. This concept plan will then be
submitted to the City and the College for review and comment. If it is considered
acceptable then we will proceed to Task 2.
TASK 2. SITE VISIT
A site visit will be scheduled with the City of Saratoga and the Department of Fish and
Game to the Quarry Creek site and the West Valley College mitigation site to discuss our
proposed mitigation approach. If Fish and Game concurs then the design will proceed as
described in Task 3.
TASK 3. DEVELOP FINAL REVEGETATION PLAN
Final restoration plans will be developed for the buttress surface and the West Valley
College site that outline the revegetation approach, the layout for plantings, the appro-
priate species to be installed, the installation techniques, a . brief vegetation monitoring
plan, maintenance recommendations, a detailed cost estimate and other information as
needed. It is intended that the restoration be designed as a practical, low -cost low -tech
project. The development of the plans will be coordinated with the City, the College (for
the off -site plan) and will be composed in the format that has typically been accepted in the
past by the California Department of Fish and Game. It is assumed that the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers will be involved in an informal review of the revegetation plans.
It is anticipated that the West Valley College site will be graded by City work crews, plant-
ed by College students, City work crews or a landscape contractor and that all implementa-
tion will be supervised by Harvey and Associates. Therefore a detailed bid package and
formal landscape plans will not be required. Grading will be field directed by H. T. Harvey
and Associates, therefore a standard grading plan will not be prepared.
H. T. HARVEY & ASS(9CIATES
It is anticipated that the buttress surface will be planted and maintained by City work
crews.
TASK 4. CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION
Harvey and Associates will direct work crews in the collection of plant materials, site
grading and preparation, plant installation, and other work associated with the restoration
project.
TASK 5. GENERAL PROJECT COORDINATION
Harvey and Associates will coordinate all project activites with the City, the College, and
the Department of Fish and Garne. Fairly extensive coordination will be required with the
College, relating to the use of student workers, site access and construction scheduling, site
maintenance and monitoring, etc.

northeast corner of Saratoga Ave. and Route 85, with the
associated Negative Declaration. The purpose of the Specific
Plan is to ensure that appropriate development guidelines are
in place for any future development plans for the 24 -acre
property.
Planning Director Curtis noted that Planner Walgren has been involved
in this project and will present the staff report. 1.
City Manager Peacock noted the City received a written communication
dated August 3, 199? from Matteoni Saxe & Nanda Lawyers.
Planner Walgren presented the staff report dated August 5, 1992. He
stated the primary components of the specific plan include the site
analysis section, development opportunities and community response,
goals statement section and the implementation section. He addressed
the land use plans as shown to the Council. Planner Walgren addressed
the letter, as noted by the City Manager, from Matteoni Saxe & Nanda
and outlined the changes requested.
In response to Councilmember Monia's question regarding the changes
requested by the applicant, Community Development Director Curtis
stated staff is responding to the property owners latest information
submitted after the Planning Commission's last public hearing. He
noted staff is requesting that the City Council make the final
decisions regarding the additional changes.
Councilmember Anderson asked if it would be appropriate for the
Planning Commission to consider the additional language. She noted .
there should be no language change between the Planning Commission and
City Council meetings.
Planner Walgren continued his presentation. He presented the Council
with copies of language change to the land use plans. He stated the
amended land use language, as presented, was distributed to the
Planning Commission at their July 6th meeting for the specific purpose
of reviewing the changes. He stated staff recommends that the City
Council adopt the Paul Masson specific plan with the changes outlined
in thelstaff report and adopt a Negative Declaration.
In response to Councilmember Monia's question, Planner Walgren noted
the Planning Commission did not review the final changes requested by
the applicant.
Mayor Tucker opened the public hearing at 8:47 p.m.
Councilmember Monia stated he did talk with Mr. Tom DeRegt and Mr.
Matteoni prior to the meeting.
Mr. James Ousley, 20702 Seaton Ave., noted he owns a condominium in the
Vineyards and expressed concern about the visibility of the Paul Masson
site. He noted he would like to see this property appropriately
developed and soon. He feels the plan will not result in near term
development. Mr. Ousley stated a development plan should have two
objectives, one, making sure development is compatible with adjacent
properties and two, the development plan should be structured so the
developer can have a reasonable potential of improving the land and
selling at a profit. He stated he faults the plan, proposed by staff,
on both these issues. Mr. Ousley stated the plan should be more
flexible regarding density and buffers. He expressed concern about the
economic viability of the site. He addressed the storm water being
kept on site and noted this is an environmental nightmare.
Mr. Ousley stated 24 acres is a lot of land and one developer may not
be able to develop the whole site and this may deter development of the
site. He noted as a resident and property owner he would like to see
this site developed, and encouraged the City Council to send the plan
back to the Planning Commission with his comments and also comments
from the City Council.
City Council Minutes
August 4, 1993
In response to Councilmember Kohler's question, Mr. Ousley stated he
does not disagree with the use of the plan and the comments he made are
technical details which need to be discussed. He noted it is his
personal assessment that the plan is too demanding on open space.
Regarding the storm water, Councilmember Burger stated it should read
storm water detention.
Mr. Tom DeRegt, representing property owners, stated they have worked
with staff and the neighbors on this project. He presented the
background information on this property. He noted the goal is to
create a specific plan which is flexible so as not to eliminate
development which may be. good for the. City and the site itself.
Regarding density, Mr. DeRegt stated there may be other types of
density which may be acceptable to the City once development plans are
submitted. Mr. DeRegt pointed out that the plan assumes land use
ratios are consistent with the underlying zoning ordinance. He added
this ordinance provides for .flexibility, at Planning Commission and
City Council level, to amend the ratios if a plan warrants such
amendments. He asked the Council what type of flexibility would be
considered.
In response to Councilmember Monia's question regarding using the word
"shall" as opposed to "should" in the plan, Planner Walgren stated the
word "shall" will not be: deviated from and "should" is deemed to be
appropriate, but allows for flexibility.
Ms. Rebecca.Chainey, 18859 Afton Ave., noted she has attended all the
public meetings regarding this issue. She expressed concern regarding
traffic and density. She noted if major changes are to be made at this
time, the neighbors should be given the opportunity to respond. In
response to Councilmember Kohler's question, Ms. Chainey stated
alternate land use options was not a major concern at the meetings, but
the neighbors expressed concern about commercial use on the site. She
noted the plan approved did address the neighbors needs.
Ms. Sheila Arthur, Chamber of Commerce, noted it is her job to promote
business in Saratoga. She added, a lot of money is sent out of
Saratoga because Saratoga can not house people who want to stay in the
City. This results in the loss of taxes to the City and she suggested
the City Council consider a hotel and keep the tax dollars in Saratoga.
Mr. Gary Lang, 13712 Montrose St., stated he has attended many of the
public meetings and feels changes should not be made at this time. He
stated this development should not attract more traffic by adding more
commercial use. He spoke in support of the wording in the plan
limiting the access onto Afton Ave. to 15 homes.
Mr. Eric Morley, Los Gatos /Saratoga Board of Realtors, stated the board
did review the plan but took no formal position. He added the City
should, consider as much flexibility as possible, especially with
regards to the density.
Resident, Saratoga Ave., stated a hotel was proposed many years ago on
this site. He noted staff has done a lot of work and the public have
been involved. He added the Council should approve the plan as
approved by the Planning Commission.
Mr. Norm Matteoni, 1740 Technology Dr., representing Bank of America,
stated they do not wish this plan to go back to the Planning
Commission. Regarding the changes proposed at this meeting, Mr.
Matteoni stated they did not have an opportunity to respond to the plan
because the Planning Commission closed the public hearing. He believes
the Planning Commission addressed neighbors concerns. Mr. Matteoni
addressed the proposed changes as outlined in his letter to the City
Council. He presented proposed changes to language regarding land use
plans to the Council.
Councilmember Anderson expressed concern about receiving so much extra
material at this meeting and not having adequate time to review it
City Council Minutes 7 August 4, 1993
before making decisions.
Councilmember Monia stated the issue is the acceptance of the plan
approved by the Planning Commission, not the changes being addressed
at this meeting. He noted the City Council asked staff to prepare this
plan and involve the public and this was done, now the Council have to
make a decision whether to approve it or not. Councilmember Monia
stated Mr. Matteoni's proposed changes were not addressed by the
Planning Commission.
Mr. Matteoni stated the changes are the fine tuning of decisions made
at the final public hearing session with the Planning Commission.
Mr. Paul Jacobs, Planning Commissioner, addressed the letter dated
August 2nd from Mr. Matteoni regarding the proposed changes. Regarding
the buffer, he noted in.the Planning Commission's minutes of June 23rd,
the specific language is proposed and this was the language approved
by the Commission. Regarding the Greenbelt/ Common open space, he noted
Chr. Moran-directed staff "to draft language that would specifically
exclude greenbelts and buffer zones from this section's requirements
and provide language that calls for development of parks on the site
to be in conformance with the guidelines in the Recreation Element of
the General Plan ". He noted the Commission concurred with this.
Regarding the Land Use Plan, the Commission, on June 23rd, was not
given specific language concerning the land use plan. He stated this
was not a matter of discussion at the July 6th meeting. He noted that
in his opinion none of the plans submitted were preferred plans, but
intended to be examples. He suggested the term "preferred" be replaced
with "examples ".
Mayor Tucker closed the public hearing at 10:05 p.m.
Councilmember Burger stated it is her understanding that the property
owner was advised during all the meetings that this was a city process
and the owners were not invited to participate at that time. Any
suggestions for changes and clarification would come at City Council
level.
Mr. DeRegt, stated they got involved with the property last October.
He noted between October and April they requested a joint study session
with Council and Planning Commission. He added there was a delay in
this meeting. He noted at the joint study session they were told that
the specific plan process was moving forward and the property owner
should 'work with this process. He noted they did work with staff and
the neighbors, but felt they were restricted as far as comments,
because it was a City plan. He stated the preferred plans are examples
and noted the property owner was not allocated the time to give
adequate input. He added the property owner did not request a specific
plan.
Councilmember Monia stated, on a 3 -2 vote of the Council, this was to
be a staff project with limited access of the Planning commission.
Community Development Director Curtis explained the specific plan
process: He noted staff did not set property lines or get more
specific, but dealt with general land use configurations. He noted the
plans are reflective of concerns and issues raised by adjoining
residents and a site specific plan is the next step.
Councilmember Monia expressed concern about the process this plan went
through.
Community Development Director Curtis stated staff prepared a draft
specific plan and initiated public comment. He noted they took the
information to a Planning Commission workshop and public hearing. He
added the applicant was available at the workshop and the public
hearings. Mr. Curtis stated staff conducted the meetings with the
neighbors.
Councilmember Burger believes the Planning Commission was involved in
this process and the plan before the Council tonight is a recommended
City Council Minutes S August 4, 1993
action which included the Planning commission, staff and the neighbors.
MONIA /KOHLER MOVED TO APPROVE THE SPECIFIC PLAN AS RECOMMENDED BY THE
PLANNING COMMISSION, ACCEPTING AMENDED PAGE 22, SUBMITTED BY STAFF AND
REMOVE THE WORD INPREFERRED" FROM THE FIRST SENTENCE ON PAGE 22.
Councilmember Burger spoke in support of the revised page 22, submitted
by staff. She expressed concern about limiting density and precluding
possible development similar to the Vineyards. She also expressed
concern about restricting commercial use if a plan was submitted that
would help the community. She expressed concern about stifling
creativity. She noted she does agree that there should be no
commercial use anywhere along McFarland or Afton perimeters.
Councilmember Burger addressed page 20 of the specific plan, #5 and
expressed concern that this statement may lead people to believe there
will be a public park on this site.
City Manager Peacock explained the requirements for park fees.
Councilmember Kohler stated they have received input from neighbors and
need to move ahead. He believes the neighbors do not want much
commercial on this site. He spoke in favor of the plan recommended by
the Planning Commission and noted the multiple use is flexible.
In response to Councilmember Anderson's question regarding the storm
water, City Manager Peacock stated the word should read "detention" as
opposed to "retention ".
Councilmember Anderson stated this plan resembles a plan which existed
in 1985. She noted in 1989 the voters elected to have the freeway
interchange on Saratoga Ave. and she expressed concern about traffic.
She noted that the traffic impact will occur from the interchange and
not from the commercial on this site. Councilmember Anderson spoke in
support; of a hotel and density similar to the Vineyards. She also
spoke in support of multifamily with open space and 50% commercial.
She noted there should be no houses along the freeway and feels a hotel
will provide a good buffer from the freeway. Councilmember Anderson
expressed concern about the 15% maximum for commercial. She would like
to see rental senior housing and also the possibility of affordable
housing. She noted she opposes strip shopping. Councilmember Anderson
stated she would like to see buffering to the housing more substantial
than 30 feet.
The Councilmembers noted they did meet individually with Mr. DeRegt.
Mayor Tucker stated she agrees with the motion regarding page 22. She
expressed concern about limiting the commercial and noted her primary
concern is that this should remain a residential neighborhood. She
spoke in support of rental senior housing and affordable housing.
The Council discussed the Greenbelt/ Common Open Space and Community
Development Director Curtis stated staff indicated it was appropriate
to exclude Saratoga Avenue and McFarland Ave. perimeter. He also noted
on Page 16, regarding commercial the word "should" allows flexibility
for more commercial.
Councilmember Anderson stated that hotels do not usually have open
windows and therefore will not be affected by noise and pollution from
the freeway. She noted this building would buffer residents from the
freeway.
City Attorney Riback stated the ordinance sets forth the NPD standards
and these may be modified if the Planning Commission can make the
findings. He noted the flexibility is in the MUPD standards.
Councilmember Monia stated Page 16, regarding the buffering, should not
be changed. - He suggested creative development while protecting
sensitive areas at the same time.
Councilmember Monia suggested amending the motion to add the following
language suggestion by City Manager Peacock "These greenbelts should
City Council Minutes 9 August 4, 1993
not be allowed to contribute to the 50% (approximately 4.6 acres)
common green landscape requirement where they abut Saratoga Avenue and
McFarland Avenue."
The Council discussed the amount of commercial use proposed.
Councilmember Monia stated there is not a lot of support for commercial
use in this area. He also expressed concern about other areas of
commercial pockets in Saratoga which are not occupied.
Mayor Tucker reiterated the motion, the Council approved the plan as
recommended by staff, adding the new language for the buffer and the
greenbelt /common open space, substitute page 22, eliminating -the word
preferred, replace the word retention with detention.
Councilmember -Anderson stated that any housing should include
affordable housing and this should be included in the mission
statement.
Regarding page 22, Community Development Director Curtis suggested the
first sentence read "The following Land Use Plans A through E
represents examples of the community's land use configurations for the
former Paul Masson Winery site."
The Council agreed that the word "preferred" as used in the plan should
be eliminated.
In response to Councilmember Monia's question regarding bonuses for
affordable housing, Community Development Director Curtis stated there
is a 25% density bonus for affordable housing, but it would be a tough
goal to obtain.
Councilmember Anderson stated she would prefer to see some affordable
housing units throughout the City as opposed to a total low income
housing- project.
City Manager Peacock suggested the following language, "Any multiple
housing provided should, at the very least, provide for some affordable
housingi as part of the development ".
Councilmember Kohler and Burger noted they would not support the above
language:
The language suggested by the City Manager in response to Councilmember
Anderson was not to be included in the plan.
The above motion, with all the amendments was passed 4 -1 (Anderson No).
B. Change in garbage rates for residential, commercial and Drop
Off Box services, to become effective on September 1. The rates
will include amendments to the basic rate to recover added costs
of operations and increased landfill costs, and amendments to
rates to finance state mandates for Integrated solid Waste
Management, Household Hazardous Waste Disposal and Storm Water
Management.
City Manager Peacock presented the staff report dated August 4, 1993.
He noted over the last three years the methods used for the rates and
the amount of money that is raised has been changed by the number of
mandate's by the State of California regarding disposal and the Non -
Point Source Pollution. Mr. Peacock presented slides outlining the
following: Rates for Solid Waste Management Services; Census Changes
1993 -94; Rate Composition 1993 -94. He noted there is approximately a
17 1/2% increase for residential and commercial. He noted Green Valley
has proposed that there be a limit to the tonnage that the base rate
covers for Drop Off Boxes and if the tonnage exceeds this, there will
be an additional cost. Mr. Peacock added that costs will continue to
rise. He noted during the performance audit, the consultants will look
at the methodology used to determine the rates and also the methodology
used for charges in the hard -to -serve areas.
SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NO. 23C,L
MEETING DATE: October 6, 1993
AGENDA ITEM
ORIGINATING DEPT. Community Development ip
SUBJECT: Fee Waiver for Variance Application
CITY MGR.
Recommended Motion: Deny the requested fee waiver
Report Summary: Mr. Alan La Fleur, Deputy Director, Planning and
Development, representing the Santa Clara County Parks and
Recreation Department, has requested waiver of variance application
fees. The Variance application is required to construct an 8 ft.
high fence where a maximum 6 ft. high fence is allowed. The fence
is part of a renovation project to the Villa Montalvo property.
Attached is a letter of request from Mr. La Fleur.
Staff's position on fee waivers has been represented to the City
Council on previous occasions. The City Council has also taken a
policy position that fees would not be waived except in
extraordinary circumstances -- the recent waiver of fees for a
homeless shelter Temporary Use Permit, for example. Staff feels
that in light of budget constraints, personnel layoffs and
projected revenues from applications to fund planning programs, it
is necessary to maintain the policy of no fee waivers.
Staff has taken into consideration the idea of "mutual aid" to
another government agency that has experienced similiar budget
constraints. However, there are no free rides. Animal control
services were withdrawn, LAFCO application fees are still required,
etc. The application fee is just one of many expenses incurred as
part of this project.
Therefore, staff is recommending that the request for fee waiver be
denied.
Fiscal Impacts: The application fee for a Variance (requires a
public hearing by the Planning Commission) is $1550. Waiver of the
fee would result in a loss to Community Development Department and
City revenues of the "recovery costs" as directed by the City
Council.
Follow -up Actions: The application for the fence height variance
must be filed by.the County for public hearing by the Planning
Commission.

Subject: Request for Variance Redesign - Historical Renovation of Italian
Garden, Villa Montalvo
The Santa Clara County Parks Department is currently in the design phase of a
historical renovation of the Villa Montalvo Italian Garden. The focal point of
the project is fencing for deer and vandal protection. A portion of the fence
is a historical replica and as such is 8 feet high, which is two feet over the
Saratoga building code.
In following the City of Saratoga's procedure, the County will be submitting a
variance fee of $1,550.00. The purpose of this letter is to request that the
City Council consider waiving this fee due to the nature of the project. The
project is in that portion of the Villa Montalvo complex which is leased by the
Santa Clara County Parks Department and open to all citizens of the County to
enjoy. The County is concerned with the quality access and experience of our
patrons within the park. The fencing & garden project will be a unique addition
to the County- operated portion of Villa Montalvo. The Italian Garden itself,
which will be protected by the fencing project, provides a unique botanical
experience for the general public to enjoy.
Your consideration of this matter is greatly appreciated. If there are any
questions concerning this request or clarification is needed, please contact Lisa
Killough or Alan La Fleur at Santa Clara County Parks, (408) 358 -3741, ext. 154
or 148 respectively.

September 25, 1993
City Council
City of Saratoga
13777 Fruitvale Ave.
Saratoga, CA 95070
Dear Councilpersons:
I am most happy that the improvement of Leonard Road is going ahead, but I do
have some questions about the procedure that has been followed.
1. The cost. At the outset the City told us cost would be about $80,000 to
$85,000. In a letter of April 8, I suggested this seemed very low, but got no response. In
the petitions of June 18 an estimate of $200,000 was quoted, but the covering letter stated
that the City still believed the "total project cost" would be in the $80,000 - $120,000
range.
When the "Total Assessment" of $156,000 was presented to us on September 7,
items such as "right of way ", "contingencies ", "incidental construction costs" and
"proceedings and issuance costs" alone totaled over $65,000.
One would, think that; the City would have had sufficient experience with assessment
districts to have anticipated at least a part of these.
2. The right of way. In letters of April 8 and 19 I mentioned the prior dedication
of the right of way. At the meeting of August 10th I pointed out that we could not
quitclaim the right of way to the City because we did not have title to it. All of these
remarks were ignored, so, on August 11th I wrote to Mr. Peacock advising him that the
owners of the Leonard right of way were Peter Donald Ljepava and Ethel Ann Ljepava
and that on September 20, 1965 they had recorded an offer of dedication of the right of
way.
Mr. Peacock replied thanking me for the information and stating that since the City
had not accepted the dedication within 25 years, it was no longer valid.
At the meeting on September 7 Mr. Peacock stated that it was not certain who the
owners of the right of way were. The fact is that Mr. and Mrs. Ljepava still reside in
Saratoga, are listed in the telephone book, and are quite willing to give the City a deed to
the right of way.
In these circumstances it would seem that the $5,000 right of way costs should be
removed and our assessments proportionately reduced.
3. The "Assessment Engineer" costs.' In the meetings prior to September 7 a
number of us had discussed the assessment allocations. It was agreed that neither a
frontage nor an area basis, would be fair,to.the property owners at the west end of the
road. A number of us had suggested a straight 13 way split but that was not agreed upon
by all. The City advised that it would be up to the owners to agree to an allocation.
With no further consultation with the property owners, the City committed $5,500
of our money to the employment of Mr. John Heindel to come up with an allocation
allegedly based on "benefit" to the respective property owners.
When Mr. Heindel's calculations produced a result that John Gearhart, who would
actually use about 10% of the roadway, would be paying over 300% as much as those
owners who would be using 100% of the road, even those property owners who benefited
most from the calculations agreed they were preposterous.
These calculations, when carefully examined, reveal the application of sixth grade
arithmetic to the City's estimated costs with a "benefit" based on the amount of work and
materials that would be applied before each parcel of property. When first presented the
figures were so jumbled as to be incomprehensible.
However a careful examination reveals that the work and materials benefits
allocation proportions were also applied to the items identified as "Contingencies ",
"Incidental Construction Costs" and "Proceedings and Issuance Costs ". The result is that
Lots 1 - 4 carry 65% of the allocable costs of these items.
When I asked about the disparity at the meeting on September 7th I was told that
this would apply to actual construction costs. I agreed to this, but not to the $65,000 of
miscellaneous items.
4. My two driveways. At the meeting of September 7th I pointed out that I have
two driveways. The City claimed it could not see them and apparently they were not
included in the assessment computation. I would greatly appreciate it if you would send
someone out to count my driveways. I do not wish to have to tear out a curb to recreate
them.
As I stated at the outset, I am happy the project seems to be going ahead, and I will
pay whatever I have to, to get it done.
I nevertheless think you should be a lot more forthcoming, and concerned with the
interests of your constituents, in any future proceedings such as this.
Sincerely,

Honorable Councilmembers:
Based on the conformation of the intersection of Leonard Road and Saratoga - Sunnyvale
Road, I am taldng this opportunity to suggest to you and the City Engineer Larry Perlin that a storm
drain be installed at the Northwest corner of Leonard and the highway.
This will serve the purpose of collecting rain water from the proposed swale type
gutter on the North side of Leonard Road, as well as collecting water from Saratoga - Sunnyvale Road
to the North where the gradient appears to descend toward Leonard.
It appears to me that the installation of this drain would be consistent with Sam
Engineering Practice.
In the long run we will surely find the drain necessary. Let's do it now to save the city
and taxpayers money. Some times we miss the obvious and are "penny wise and pound foolish ".
Sincerely,
Edwin A. Kennedy
Parcel 503 -19 -078
P.S. We have a storm drain on our side of the intersection, but believe the other drain would
benefit everyone.

MEETING DATE: October 6,
ORIGINATING DEPT.: Public
AGENDA ITEM
1993 CITY MGR.

SUBJECT: Award of Consulting Services Agreement with Greening
Associates of Santa Cruz for Landscape Replacement along Rodeo
Creek
Recommended Motion(s): Move to accept the attached proposal from
Greening Associates of Santa Cruz for professional services in
connection with revegetation of the Rodeo Creek corridor and
authorize staff to issue a Purchase Order to them in the amount of
$5,480.
Report Summary: At the suggestion of the Traffic Authority and the
Santa Clara Valley Water District, staff has solicited proposals
from qualified firms to provide landscape consulting services in
connection with the revegetation of Rodeo Creek downstream of Route
85. As you may recall, this stretch of creek was significantly
denuded of vegetation during the construction of improvements
associated with the freeway project. Since then, the residents
abutting the creek, along with staff, have persuaded the Traffic
Authority to bear responsibility for revegetating the creek
corridor rather than mitigating for the loss of vegetation at an
off -site location in'San Jose.
The firm of Greening Associates was selected from a,list of
qualified consultants provided to the City by the Water District.
Due to the small scope of this project and the need for personal
interaction with the residents, it was determined that this firm
was the best qualified to perform the work. The attached proposal
outlines the services to be provided in connection with this
project for what I believe is the modest sum of $5,480. If the
Council approves the proposal from Greening Associates, the work
will begin this month and the planting will be completed during the
current planting season.
Fiscal Impacts: As noted, the lump sum fee for this work is $5,480
which will be reimbursed to the City by the Traffic Authority.
Follow Up Actions: Staff will execute a standard professional
services agreement with Greening Associates and will then issue a
Purchase Order for $5,480 along with a Notice to Proceed.
Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions: The proposal
will not be accepted and staff will act according to whatever other
directives the Council may give. If this happens, then it is
possible that the revegetating of the creek may not occur during
this planting season.

RE: Rodeo Creek Revegetation
Dear Mr. Perlin,
After I met with you on August 17, I met with the Rodeo Creek
neighbors to introduce myself and to obtain some input from them
about prospective future plantings along their creek. Among
their differing viewpoints I found a common fondness for the
creek and a congeniality and reasonableness that I believe I
would enjoy working with.
Accordingly, Greening Associates submit the following proposal to
replant the east bank of Rodeo Creek behind the 12000 - 12100 block
of Saraglen Drive, and the residential side of the Highway 85
sound wall.
PROPOSED SCOPE OF SERVICES
Develop a schematic planting plan to plant approximately 100
trees and shrubs; all plants to be native to California, most
native to riparian corridors in the Saratoga area, and many grown
from Santa Clara Valley seed sources. Coordinate planning with
Santa Clara Valley Water District ( SCVWD) personnel, city staff,
and adjacent homeowners. Plant, mulch, and initially irrigate
the plants. Provide as-built plans to the City of Saratoga and
adjacent homeowners, including a minimum maintenance plan to be
carried out by the homeowners. Conduct two followup consulta-
tions.
TASK I: PLANNING
A. Map existing trees (old and recently planted).
B. Meet with SCVWD staff on site to determine dimensions of
areas required for access and turnaround.
C. Develop schematic planting plan, including minimum mainte-
nance plan to be carried out by neighbors; present plan to neigh-
bors and City Engineer; revise plan as needed.

TASK II: PLANTING
A. Inspect plants at nurseries; finalize purchase orders to
nurseries; purchase mulch and fertilizer.
B. Schedule auger and water truck.
C. Flag planting sites.
D. Pick up plants at nurseries.
E. Plant, water and mulch the plants per industry standard
specifications.
TASK III: POST- PLANTING
A. Develop as -built plans; distribute to neighbors and City
Engineer.
B. Make two follow -up visits to consult with homeowners and city
staff, May -June and August - September 1994.
PROPOSED BUDGET
Our proposed cost for the above tasks is a lump sum of $5,480.00.
Our planting would address several needs expressed by the adja-
cent homeowners.
1. Plants at the soundwall will be predominantly, if not
all, evergreen.
2. Although more trees were removed at the south end of the
block than at the north end, trees are desired along the entire
length of the block to absorb traffic noise from Prospect Road
(which now apparently bounces off the residential side of the
sound wall).
The species we anticipate planting are:
Coast Live Oak! Quercus agrifolia
Valley Oak i Quercus lobata
Blue Elderberry; Sambucus mexicana
Toyon Heteromeles arbutifolia
California Rose Rosa californica
Flannel Bush Fremontodendron californicum
Creeping Wild Rye Elymus triticoides
A dozen or more of the oaks would be 15- gallon size.
We would plan to complete the planting by the end of October.
Our payment terms are as follows: two percent discount within ten
days of the invoice; net due in 30 days.

If the above scope, budget and terms are agreeable to you, we
will begin purchasing the plants immediately upon receipt of your
purchase order, while the greatest selection is available. If
you have any questions, or wish to discuss any modification of
this proposal, please feel welcome to contact our office.
I look forward to the possibility of working with you on this
project.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NO. Z 3 7V
AGENDA ITEM
MEETING DATE: October 6, 1993 CITY MGR.
ORIGINATING DEPT.: Public Works
SUBJECT: Bonnet Way Soundwall, Capital Project No. 9113 -
Final Acceptance and Notice of Completion
Recommended Motion(s): Move to accept the project as complete and
authorize staff to record the Notice of Completion for the project.
Report Summary: All work on the Bonnet Way Soundwall, Capital
Project No. 9113, has been completed by the City's contractor,
Serrano and Cone, Inc., and inspected by City staff. The final
construction cost for�the project was $378,013, which is 6.3% above
the awarded contract amount of $355,394. The additional costs were
due to extra work resulting from utility conflicts, which
necessitated a redesigned footing for the wall along its westerly
half.
In order to close out the construction contract and begin the one
year maintenance /warranty period, it is recommended that the
Council accept the project as complete. Further, it is recommended
that the Council authorize staff to record the attached Notice of
Completion for the contract so that the requisite 30 day Stop
Notice period for the filing of claims by subcontractors or
material providers may commence.
Fiscal Impacts: The ten percent retention withheld from previous
payments to the contractor will be released 30 days after
recordation of the Notice of Completion assuming no Stop Notices
are filed with the City. The adopted budget contains sufficient
funds in Project No. 9113, Account No. 4510, to cover the cost of
the project including the executed change orders.
Follow Up Actions: Staff will record the Notice of Completion for
the contract and will release the contract sureties and retention
thirty days thereafter.
Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions: The project
would not be accepted as complete and staff would notify the
contractor of any additional work required by the City Council
before the project would be accepted as complete.

ORIGINATING DEPT.: Public Works �Ll,
SUBJECT: Award of contract for Crisp Ave. storm drain repairs
Recommended Motion(s): Move to award a contract for repairs to the
Crisp Ave. storm drain to Mello Pipelines of Campbell in the amount
of $5,900 and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract on
behalf of the City.
Report Summary: Staff has solicited bids for repairs to the Crisp
Ave. storm drain using the informal bidding procedures contained in
Article 12 -15 of the City Code. A section of the storm drain
system along the northerly side of Crisp Ave. between Andrew Ct.
and Granite Way is plugged with debris that cannot be removed using
conventional methods. Consequently, a section of the storm drain
system needs replacement between an inlet structure along the curb
and the outfall structure at the tributary to Wildcat Creek which
flows under Crisp Ave.
Two contractors submitted bids and copies of them are attached.
Mello.Pipelines of Campbell submitted the lower bid of $5,900 and
since this contractor has successfully worked for the City in the
past, it is recommended that the Council award a contract to Mello
Pipelines in the amount of their bid and authorize the City Manager
to execute the contract on behalf of the City.
Fiscal Impacts: Sufficient funds for this work are contained in the
Water Quality Management budget, Program 20, Account No. 4510.
Follow Up Actions: Staff will execute a contract with Mello
Pipelines and authorize them to proceed with the work.
Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions: The Council
may either reject the low bid or reject both bids. If the Council
rejects both bids, the repairs will not be made unless the Council
directs staff to rebid the project.

-7)EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NO. 2 AGENDA ITEM
MEETING DATE: October 6, 1993 CITY MGR.
ORIGINATING DEPT.: Public Works
SUBJECT: Award of contract for weekly arterial street sweeping
Recommended Recommended Motion(s): Move to award a three month contract for
weekly arterial street sweeping to Don and Mike's Commercial
Sweeping in the amount of $7,500 and' authorize the City Manager to
execute the contract on behalf of the City.
Report Summary: In accord with the City's stormwater pollution
control responsibilities, staff is working to develop a citywide
street sweeping program. Ultimately, the program will result in
regularly scheduled sweeping of all city maintained streets. At
your previous meeting, the Council awarded a contract for weekly
sweeping of the commercial area of Saratoga Village along with the
four public parking lots in the Village to begin the initial phase
of the program.
At this time, staff is prepared to expand the program to the next
phase which includes weekly sweeping of all arterial, thoroughfare
and major collector streets (see attached map). However, in order
to give staff the ability to gauge the effectiveness of the program
and to work out any; bugs which will undoubtedly develop, it is
recommended that this next phase be initiated for a three month
trial basis and reevaluated at the end of the three months. At
that time, staff can: amend the contract to optimize the sweeping
program based on experience gained during the three month trial
period before a longer term contract is developed and before the
program is expanded into the residential neighborhoods.
Don and Mike's Commercial Sweeping, the firm which was awarded the
Village area sweeping contract, was offered the opportunity to
submit a proposal for the three month trial program in accordance
with the terms of the attached contract. Staff believes that using
the same contractor during the trial period will greatly facilitate
the development of the city -wide sweeping program. The proposal
submitted by Don and Mike's Commercial Sweeping is based on
compensation of nine dollars ($9) per curb mile swept which, when
compared against rates neighboring cities are paying, we have
determined to be a very competitive price. The trial period would
run for 13 weeks and would involve weekly sweeping of approximately
60 curb miles of streets so the anticipated contract amount is
$7,020. However, to allow for overages in quantities and any
unforeseen occurrences, it is recommended that the Council award a
contract in the amount of $7,500.
Fiscal Impacts: Sufficient funds for this work are contained in the
Water Quality Management budget, Program 20, Account No. 4510.
Follow Up Actions: Staff will execute a three month contract with
Don and Mike's Commercial Sweeping and will authorize them to
proceed with the work beginning on November 1. An evaluation of
the trial program will be conducted upon its conclusion on January
31, 1994.
Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions: Staff will
not execute the interim contract and will await further suggestions
from the Council on how to implement a city -wide street sweeping
program.
