WESTBOROUC~[ SLl~. TENSION EL CAMINO R~AL TO JUNIPERO SERRA BLVD.z (CONTINUED) Lengthy discussions followed during which time the following com~nents were made. City Manager McKenzie remarked that the item had been discussed at an earlier Study Session and taat Council had raised questions concerning the matter of the storm drain pipe which, on the original plans, showed it as being completely enclosed and that, in the plans delivered January 23, 1970, showed it as an open ditch in one of the areas. He further remarked that it was ~ouncil's feeling that it should be a completely closed ditch. He then stated that the matter of the overpass which was included in the plans at Camaritas and West Orange Avenues had likewise been discussed; further, that the question of landscaping and fill as well as the lack of guard rails near homes had also been mentioned. Brief discussion followed between the Mayor and City Manager concerning the location where the guard rails had been omitted after which Mayor Bertucelli called on Mr. Robert Sans of the County Engineering office to explain the plans. Mr. Sans remarked that it was the feeling of the County that guard rails were not warranted in the area in which they were deleted but if the Council wished to participate in their installation, they would install these guard rails. Discussion followed concerning whether or not guard rails were a State law requirement after which Mr. Sans stated that a berm and chainlink fence in the area was to be installed and, that from an ~ng~neering standpoint, there was no need for the guard rails. Councilman Mammini stated that an enclosed culvert was included in the original plans and that later plans showed an open channel and felt that this should be part of the contract as originally proposed. Councilman Ahern commented that the residents had been told that a drainage pipe would be installed and feared that if this was not done, the area would be used as a debris- dumping site. He urged that the enclosed pipe be placed in at this time. Mr. Sans commented that the payment for the installation of this add~%ional enclosed pipe could not be justified as Gas Tax expenditures. Further discussion followed concerning the matter of the enclosed pipe and how the development of the area could justify the expenditure from Gas Tax funds. Mr. Bertetta, 115 Arroyo Drive, urged Council to install the pipe so that erosion to the properties would not be suffered. Mr. Donald Gamma, 3790 Cork Place, commented on the matter of the guardrail installation, whereby even in 1967 the County was against spending money to put guard rails on the perimeter where people resided. He further remarked that the residents in the area strongly urged at that time for the installation of guard rails and noted that a cha~hlink fence had been provided along the golf club property side. He urged that the installation be decided this evening and that the matter of payment for this installation he decided la, Mayor Bertucelli rema~.a-ked that three present members of the CityCouncil met with the Countl Board of S~pervisors urging the installation of guard rails and landscaping. Brief discussion fOllowed between NLr. Gamma and )Ar. Sans concerning the matter of the guard rails and chainlink fence installation. Mr. Donald Grimes, 123 Francisco Drive, requested information concerning the purchase of properties by the County in the area to which Mr. Sans stated that this was a question which would have to be answered by their right of way department which handled this functio~ Discussion then followed between Mr. Grimes and Mr. Sans concerning the matter of draining waters which Mr. Sans explained from its interception from Junipero Serra and Westborough Boulevards to Colma Creek. Mr. Grimes concluded by stating that his interest was due to the floods which they suffered in their sukx~ivision. Further explanation followed by Director of Public Works Louis Goss who explained how the storm waters were to be handled, the size of the pipe which they were to go through and the box culvert which was to be oonstructed by the State Division of Highways. Discussion then followed between Mrs. Antoinette Fraschteri and Mayor Be:tucelli concerning the matter of negotiations between the County Board of Supervisors and the City Council relative to the matter of the Westborough Boulevard Improvement, landscaping, chainlink fence and guard rails, and enclosed drainage facilities. Discussion then followed between members of the City Council and Mr. Sans concerning the matter of commencement of work, the time schedule involved and the proposed completion date. Mayor Bertucellt remarked that he desired to move ahead on the project and felt that the Council was ready to proceed with the original plans as submitted, further that it was not the desire of the City to hold up this project. Further discussion followed after which the Director of Public Works reported to the Council that proposed plans entitled "San Mateo County, California, Plan and Profile for the Ex- tension of Wes,borough Boulevard Between Junipero Serra Blvd. and E1Camino Real, Eng~s Sra.
