PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO DESIGNATE AUSTIN WAY A HERITAGE LANE STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Open public hearing; close public hearing; waive the first reading; place on next agenda for adoption. John Livingstone, Assistant Planner, presented staff report. Planner Livingstone explained the Heritage Preservation Commission recommended to the Planning Commission that Austin Way be designated a Heritage Lane. On July 24, 2002 the Planning Commission adopt a resolution proposed ordinance will create Heritage Lane zoning overlay on the existing single-family residential district for Austin Way. Planner Livingstone explained that the intent of the ordinance is to preserve the existing brick roadway and hopefully restore the portions that have been patched with asphalt. The Heritage Lane Designation will make it possible to obtain a grant to assist with the preservation and maintenance of the existing brick roadway. In an effort to not limit improvements to the existing exposed brick portions, staff is recommending that all of Austin Way be designated as a Heritage Lane. Planner Livingstone noted that initially one of the neighbors who lives on Austin Way started a petition to have the street dedicated a Heritage Lane. The applicant obtained support from six neighbors, which started the process with the Heritage Preservation Commission. Planner Livingstone noted that Apri130, 2002 staff mailed a notice of intent to designate Austin Way a Heritage Lane to every neighbor who has property adjacent to Austin Way. In all 16 property owners where sent letters. In order for the Heritage Preservation Commission to proceed to the Planning Commission no more than 41 % of the owners could object to the proposal. Staff received two letters of obj ection to the proposal within the required 45-day period and one letter after the 45-day period. The three letters would only total 18%, therefore allowing the proposal to continue to the Planning Commission. Planner Livingstone noted that in order to designate a roadway a heritage lane, the road must meet a minimum of two findings stated in Section 13-15.010 of the Heritage Preservation Chapter 13. In this case the proposed Heritage Lane meets all of the criteria listed in the above-mentioned section. Planner Livingstone explained the proposed ordinance stating that it would protect the aesthetics and ensure the preservation of the road. Planner Livingstone explained the fiscal impacts on restoring and repairing the roadway. Planner Livingstone noted that due to the nature of the brick, the roadway has needed almost no maintenance compared to what is typically required of asphalt roads. However, as part of the heritage designation, areas of the brick that were patched with asphalt could be removed and the brick restored. This would constitute ashort-term increase in maintenance cost to the road. \ Planner Livingstone noted that currently there is 350 square feet of area that has been temporary patches on it. At $20 a square foot it would cost approximately $7,000 plus a contingency of $3,000 for unexpected cost and traffic control for a total of $10,000. Planner Livingstone noted that to completely resort the roadway and repair all the patches, cracks and depressions it would cost approximately $112,000 based on repairs to 25% ofthe roadway. To repair everything and improve the site drainage with concrete swales it would cost approximately $118,000. On September 4, 2002, Planner Livingstone noted that Council directed staff to remove the proposed the 10-foot setback of property in front of all the houses along the roadway. Councilmember Bogosian asked if this designation would prevent a future Council from paving over the road. City Attorney Taylor suggested putting an historic easement on the road, but should discuss this with the Historic Preservation Commission. Councilmember Waltonsmith noted she would like to pursue a historic easement at a future time. Mayor Streit opened the pubic hearing at 7:40 p.m. Tom Keebel, 19041 Austin Way, stated he fully supports the proposed designation and suggested that the Council do minimal repair on the roadway. Wanda Alexander, 15879 Ravine Road, urged the Council to move forward and adopt the ordinance. Ms. Alexander stated that Austin Way is the gateway to the mountains. Ms. Alexander noted that she is proud of the brick roadway. Mayor Streit closed the public hearing at 7:45 p.m. BOGOSIAN/WALTONSMTIH MOVED TO INTRODUCE THE ORDIANCE, WAIVE THE FIRST READING AND PLACE ITEM ON THE ON THE CONSENT CALEDAR FOR THE NEXT MEETING. MOTION PASSED 5- 0. City Attorney Taylor noted that a sentence could be added to the ordinance stating that any project proposed near the roadway would need to be heard by the Heritage Preservation Commission and a public hearing conducted by the City Council. Councihnember Waltonsmith noted that she would like to spend at least $10,000 for repairs on the road. Councilmember Mehaffey suggested adding it to the CIP. AMENDMENT TO CITY OF SARATOGA MOTOR VEHICLE AND TRAFFIC ORDINANCE STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Open public hearing; close public hearing; waive the first reading; place on next agenda for adoption. Lorie Tinfow, Assistant City Manager, presented staff report Assistant City Manager Tinfow explained the background of this proposed ordinance stating that the amendment would remain consistent with the California Vehicle Code, which describes parking prohibitions as signs or red curbs, and does not require both. Assistant City Manger Tinfow noted that in regards to the situation on Farwell Avenue the proposed ordinance, if adopted, would remove the red paint and the "no parking here to corner" sign would remain. Mayor Streit opened the public hearing at 7:50 p.m. Bridgette Ballingall, Chair/Public safety Commission, noted that the proposed ordinance gives options to the Commission and to the Council in order to preserve the character of the neighborhoods. Ellis Cheng, 19785 Farwell Avenue, thanked staff for explaining the change and including them in the process. Mr. Cheng noted that he supports the proposed ordinance.

Director Sullivan explained that last February the City received five proposals in response to mailing out 21 Request for Proposals (RFP). The City also advertised in the San Jose Mercury News. In response to the newspaper advertisement, six additional requests were mailed out. Of the five received, three were considered worthy of inviting the firm proposing to be interviewed. Director Sullivan noted the three firms as follows: • Barrie D. Coates and Associates • David Babby of Arbor Resources • Deborah Ellis, MS. Director Sullivan noted that since Mr. Coates indicated that he was not interested in pursuing the proposal, the City Council was reluctant to interview only the remaining two candidates. Director Sullivan explained that this past summer staff circulated the RFP for arborist services and two proposals were received from David Babby and Deborah Ellis. Councilmember Bogosian asked Director Sullivan if he made it clear when he solicited proposals that Barrie Coates was not interested in submitting a proposal. Director Sullivan responded yes he did make it clear that Mr. Coates would not be submitting a proposal. Mayor Streit stated that the residents of Saratoga do not like to wait for a single source arborist. Mayor Streit noted that projects have been put on hold because Mr. Coates is so busy. Councibnember Waltonsmith suggested that the Council form a subcommittee to interview Mr. Babby and Ms. Ellis. Councilmember Mehaffey concurred with Councilmember Waltonsmith. 11 Councilmember Bogosian noted that he would participate in the interview process and requested that staff supply a list of the past and present workload schedule of the current arborist. Councihmember Waltonsmith volunteered to interview the two applicants along with Councilmember Bogosian.

Vice Mayor baker noted that he sees no reason why the City should not select Ms. Ellis, she lives in Saratoga, and appoint Mr. Babby as a secondary arborist. Councilmember Bogosian stated he would like the opportunity to interview the applicants. Councilmember Bogosian noted that although technical expertise is important they must also have good customer service skills. Consensus of the City Council to form a subcommittee consisting of Councilmember Bogosian and Councilmember Waltonsmith to interview the two applicants. 8.

The Master Plan was completed by November of 1991 and has been in use since this date. Analyst Bloomquist noted that during the past two years the Parks and Recreation Commission (PRC) has discussed the revision of the present Parks and Trails Master Plan. The PRC realized hat the scope and complexity of this undertaking, directed that Trails Subcommittee to explore the various trails connected with the Master Plan in an effort to identify those properties not in the trail easement requirements and to determine the various encroachments onto the trail easements. Analyst Bloomquist stated that staff was recently directed by Council to explore options for updating the Master Plan and to report these options to Council this evening. Analyst Bloomquist stated that at the PRC's October 16, 2002 meeting supported the revision of the Master Plan, but did not know the level of Master Plan revision the Council was requesting or if an outside consultant would need to be hired. Analyst Bloomquist noted that the PRC discussed the following items at their meeting on October 16, 2002: • Form a task force to review the existing Master Plan to determine what level of revision is required and if an outside consultant needed to be hired to revise the existing Master Plan • As part of the above process, the master Plan Task Force would continue gathering data and analyzing the existing Master Plan by comparing it to neighboring Cities' Master Plans. Once the analysis is complete, the Task Force would forward their recommendations back to the PRC, which would then forward their recommendations to the Council for consideration Analyst Bloomquist explained hat staff was requesting that Council consider the above course of action by the PRC and provide direction on how to proceed.
