TITLE: CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS TO
ELM AVENUE EAST OF EL CAMINO REAL
€TEM-EXPLANATION:
On August 26, 1986, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 8768 authorizing the design of half-width street improvements to Elm Avenue east of El Camino Real. The improvements will consist of the removal of approximately 40,000 cubic yards of material and the installation of curb and gutter, raised median, street lights, sidewalk, asphalt pavement, landscaping and irrigation on the south side of Elm Avenue to connect with existing improvements west of Appian Road. This project will complete the
installation of ultimate street improvements on Elm Avenue in
this area to City standards.
Staff has been negotiating for several months with the property owner fronting the south side of Elm Avenue for the required right-of-way to complete the improvements. These negotiations
have resulted in identifying the following Council options with
respect to this project:
1. City institute proceedings in accordance with Chapter 27 of the Improvement Act of 1911 pursuant to Section 5870 et seq. of the California Streets and Highways Code to install the improvements.
Discussion: Staff has been advised by Mr. Mac Brown of Brown and Diven, Assessment Counsel for several other City
projects, that utilizing the Chapter 27 procedures in this
case is not recommended for three (3) reasons.
First, the length of unimproved frontage held by the property
owner exceeds 50% of the total frontage of the block as defined by the provisions of the Act. The Chapter 27
provisions require that 50% of the block must already be
fully improved.
Second, the use of Chapter 27 provisions requires a finding of "benefit" to the property being improved to enable an assessment. In this case, a finding of "benefit" to the
property is remote since there is no direct access currently from the property onto Elm Avenue or El Camino Real. The parcel as a whole does have access to the south from Appian
Road,
Page Two of Agenda Bill No.
Third, because Elm Avenue in this area is designated as a
secondary arterial, recent amendments to the Code restrict
the inclusion of such construction items as street paving and
proportional amounts of grading as items potentially
qualified to be assessed against the property. These are
among the most expensive costs for the project. In this
case, the potential construction costs obligated to the City
far exceed those qualified for assessment to the property.
The disproportionate cost versus "benefit" ratio to the
property renders the application of Chapter 27 provisions in
this instance uncertain.
2. City pursue a reimbursement agreement with the property owner
in which the City would direct and finance the entire project
at this time in exchange for repayment to the City by the
property owner at some future date.
Discussion: This option has been proposed to the property
owner and rejected. There are no pending improvement plans
for the development of the parcel. The property owner has
indicated this approach would yield no financial or land-use
benefits to the property. Lengthy and costly condemnation of
the necessary right-of-way would be required.
3. City appraise and purchase the required right-of-way and
finance the full cost of the improvements from the General
Capital Construction Fund as currently budgeted in the 1986-
87 Capital Improvement Program.
Discussion: The property owner, through his representatives,
has indicated a willingness to sell to the City the slope
easement portion of the required right-of-way for the
appraised value. The property owner will dedicate the
roadway portion of the right-of-way. This approach would
require the use of budgeted General Capital Construction
Funds to finance the improvements.
4. City appraise and purchase the required right-of-way and
finance the full cost of the improvements from the Traffic
Impact Fee Fund, Northern Section, Fund No. 134.
Discussion: This approach would require the purchase of the
slope easement portion of the required right-of-way for the
appraised value. The property owner will dedicate the
roadway portion of the right-of-way. The use of Traffic
Impact Fee funds for this project would enable over time the
collection of fees sufficient to reimburse the Fund the final cost of the project. This option would require an
appropriation of $850,000 from the Traffic Impact Fee Fund,
.*
.. Page Three of Agenda Bill No. 87Y3-1
Northern Section, Fund No. 134 for this project. There are
presently adequate unappropriated funds in this account
available to build the project at this time. Additionally,
this approach would not require the use of budgeted General
Capital Construction Funds. Eliminating the appropriation of
$850,000 from the currently budgeted General Capital
Construction Fund would return this amount to the fund
balance thereby making it available potentially for other CIP
projects.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council select Option 4. Gerald S.
Kibbey, MAI, has been retained to appraise the roadway and slope
easement portions of the right-of-way required for this project.
The appraised value of the slope easement portion of the right-
of-way should be available within the next thirty (30) days,
prior to the date of recommending award of the construction
contract.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City Council has appropriated $850,000 of General Capital
Construction Funds in the 1986-87 Capital Improvement Program
budget for this project. The Engineer's estimate for the
construction portion of this project is $512,000.
Staff recommends the Council eliminate the currently budgeted
$850,000 of General Capital Construction Fund for this project.
Additionally, staff recommends the Council appropriate $850,000
from Traffic Impact Fee Fund, Northern Section, Fund No. 134, and
authorize staff to proceed with the advertisement of bids for the
construction of the improvements.
At the time of reviewing the bids for the project, the Council
will also review the appraised value of the slope easement and
the necessary documents transferring the interest in the required
right-of-way.

Tests will be performed on the material retained on the No. 8 sieve from each bin and will not be a combined or averaged result. c
Each test specimen will be prepared by hand shaking for 30 seconds, a single loading of the entire sample on a 12-inch diameter, No. 4 sieve nested on top of a 12-inch diameter, No. 8
sieve.
Where a coarse aggregate bin contains material which will pass the maximum size specified and be retained on a 3/8 inch sieve, the test specimen weight and volume of wash water specified for one inch x No. 4 aggregate size will be used.
Samples will be obtained from the weight box area during or
immediately after discharge from each bin of the batching plant or immediately prior to mixing with asphalt in the case of continuous mixers.
The Cleanness Value of the test sample from each of the bins will be separately computed and reported.
Modify Section 400-4.4, Storing, Drying and Screening Aggregates, as follows: '
After fifth paragraph, add:
"When the Contractor adds supplemental fine aggregate, each such supplemental fine aggregate used shall be stored separately and kept thoroughly dry."

C. General:
1. Regularly water all nursery stock in containers and place them in a cool area protected from sun and dry- ing winds.
2. Position plants in plant locations indicated on araw- ings and secure approval before excavating pits, making necessary adjustments as indicated.
Do not allow plants to dry out before or while being planted. Keep exposed roots moist by means of wet
sawdust, peat moss, or burlap at all times during
planting operations. Do not expose roots to the air
except while being placed in the ground. plants, whether in place or not, will not be accepted and shall be replaced at the Contractor's eqense.
4. Remove all plants from their containers and set so that, when settled, they bear che same relation to the required grade as they bore to the natural grade be- fore being transplanted. Plant each plant in the ceri- ter of the pit and backfill with prepared soil. Do
not use soil in muddy conditon for backfilling. Do not fill around trunks or stems. Cut off all broken or frayed roots.
