COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM NUMBER

SUBJECT:
Plans and specifications for crack repair project for Palm Street
and Marsh Street parking structures, City Plan No. R-39D
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
By motion, approve the plans and specifications for crack repair for
the Palm Street and Marsh Street parking structures and authorize
solicitation of bids and awarding of contract if lowest responsible bid
is within Engineer's estimate
BACKGROUND:
At its meeting of March 19, 1991, the City Council considered plans and
specifications for sealing a number of cracks in the walls of the two
parking structures. Council was concerned that these cracks
represented some level of failure of the parking structure, or improper
workmanship, and requested that staff obtain additional information
justifying the need for this work. Attached are letters from Conrad
and Associates, the original design consultant; Fred Schott and
Associates, a local structural engineering firm hired to investigate
the cracks on the Marsh Street structure; and Applied Engineering, a
local engineering firm hired to investigate the Palm Street structure.
All three of the consultants recommend epoxy injection of the cracks so
as to prevent corrosion of the reinforcing steel. All three indicated
that these are primarily surface cracks and not structural in nature.
Conrad indicates that these cracks are not uncommon in this type of
structure. None of the consultants indicate, nor does the staff
believe, that the cracks are a result of improper workmanship. Even if
improper workmanship could be proven, the contractor guarantee is for
one year and it is now more than two years since the Palm Street
structure was accepted. 94% of the crack sealing will take place at
the Palm Street structure.
DISCUSSION:
Staff believes that this kind of cracking is inherent with this design
of structure and that it still must be protected or face the risk of
ultimate failure of the parking structure due to corrosion.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The project could be delayed until a later date, with a probable
increase in cost and probable corrosion damage to the steel.
2. The project could be reduced by eliminating the Marsh Street
structure from the contract, since these cracks are very, very
minor and are generally closed during the warmer weather thus
minimizing the rain water penetration to the steel.

3. Conduct work with City forces. If the contract approach is not
approved, staff will have to attempt the epoxy injection with its
own forces. Staff would rent equipment and materials locally and
attempt to do the job. However, we are not expert in this type of
i operation and are not likely to do as good a job as a contractor
specializing in this work.
4. Do nothing. Staff does not feel that the option of doing nothing
is a viable one, since the structures would ultimately be subject
to failure because of lack of proper maintenance.
FISCAL IMPACT:
I
The Engineer's estimate for the project is $42, 000. This is a new
project and monies have not been allocated for this repair work in the
current budget. Funds will have to be allocated from the undesignated
fund balance of the parking program. As reflected in the recent mid-
year budget review, adequate balances are projected at year end to fund
this project. However, the long-term financial status of the parking
system continues to be a concern, and any unprogrammed outlay reduces
the funds available for future capital purchases, such as acquisition
of a third parking site.

SUBJ:
Plans and Specifications for Crack Repair Project for Palm Street
and Marsh Street Parking Structures.
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
By motion, approve the plans and specifications for crack repair
for the Palm Street and Marsh Street Parking Structures and
authorize soliciting of bids and awarding of contract if lowest
responsible bid is within Engineer's estimate.
BACKGROUND:
Since the completion of the Palm Street Parking Structure in March
1988, there have been a number of structural cracks in the walls
and floors. This is common with structures of this construction.
These cracks are easily penetrated by water which is causing
deterioration of the concrete and metal reinforcement in the walls
and floors. If allowed to continue unchecked, this water
penetration could cause serious damage and costly reconstruction to
the structure. There have been similar cracks in the floor area of
the new Marsh Street facility, but to a lesser degree.
DISCUSSION:
Through an epoxy injection system the floors and walls of both
structures can be sealed to prevent further water damage.
Approximately 3100 linear feet will have to sealed in the Palm
Structure and 200 linear feet in the Marsh Structure. This
application process in the most cost-effective and can be done with
a minimum of disruption to the operations of each structure.
The life expectancy of this project is unknown because of the
nature of post-tension concrete contruction. Periodic inspections
will be required to determine if additional repairs are needed.
CONCURRENCES:
The Engineering and Parking Divisions concur with the
recommendation to epoxy seal the walls and floors.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Engineer's estimate for the project is $42, 000. This is a new
project and monies have not been allocated for this repair work in

the recent mid-year budget review, adequate balances are projected

PROS AND CONS !
i
It is possible to postpone the project, especially in light of our
limited rainfall. However, any additional moisture from
condensation or light rain will only accelerate the concrete
deterioration. The longer we wait, the more costly for future
repairs. Repairing only part of the cracks or completing only one
structure would be less expensive in the short-term, but more
costly in the long-term since the bidding and contract process
would have to be repeated. Cancelling the project would be short
sighted and only cause more serious problems in the future.

Marsh Street Parking Structure
Dear Mr. Romero:
We received your letter dated March 26, 1991 in regards to epoxy
injection for crack repair. The undersigned paid a visit to the
structures on April 4, 1991 and walked through the two parking
structures with Tom Gingg to see the cracks referred to in your
letter. In the Palm Street parking structure the cracks in the
concrete walls and slabs appear to be of the same size and location
as observed about a year ago. These ccracks are caused by shortening
(creep and shrinkage) of the postensioned floor system and are not
uncommon in this type of structure.'
Since it was a very warm day it was practically impossible to find
the slab cracks (which were leaking according to Tom Gingg) in the
Marsh Street structure.
Even though the above captioned cracks do not impair the structural
safety of the structure, the cra .� ahoul �sealed by epoxy
injection to prevent a. fT�t),ry e-arrodina oxob� m of t�ie.._reinforcing
steel and 1 ne g�Tiening the useful life of the structures.
We hope this information is sufficient for your needs at this time.
If you have any questions please call .

Subject: Slab Cracking in the Northerly half of the Parking
Structure Slab at the roof level
Lear Wayne:
Per your request we have made a site inspection, reviewed the original
concrete mix designs prepared by Kaiser (#S6055 & 6084 dated 5/26/89)
and the revised and apparently approved mix design by Pacific Geoscience
(Job No. PT-5420-4701 dated Sept. 7 , 1989) . We have also reviewed the
General Structural Notes and specification requirements for concrete in
the Construction documents as well as made a cursory examination of the
structural plans and details as they might relate to slab cracking.
The original (Kaiser) mix designs would have resulted in substantially
greater shrinkage than the Pacific Geoscience mix design. While the mix
design used is considerably finer than a mix designed to minimize
shrinkage, it was obviously satisfactory in most of the structure.
Most of the visible cracks in the northerly half of the roof slab run
parallel to the beams (perpendicular to the direction of span for the
slabs) . Some of these cracks do not extend through the slab while
others do. There are a few cracks on the underside of the slab in the
most northerly bay which are perpendicular to the beams (parallel to the
slab span) .
Our professional judgement is that the partial depth cracks in the top
of the slab are Pl artJ c shrinkage cr.�.ckn- whilc the full dept", =CZ ...
drying shrinkage cracks emanating from the plastic shrinkage cracks. it
is quite probable that this particular pour was made on a relatively

The cracks in the bottom surface of the end bay appear to reflect the
prestressing strands and probably resulted from movement of the strands
during concrete placement in the adjacent bay while the concrete was
only partially hardened. Again these cracks do not appear to be
structural in nature and should not affect the performance of the slab.
The reinforcing steel in the slab is parallel to the cracks and may or
may not be' subjected to moisture in the cracks . It would probably be
wise to seal by epoxy grouting or caulking.
A second note of concern relates to the lateral force resisting system
in the structure. The project structural calculations (sheets Rl
through R47) do not cover lateral forces and a review of the plans does
not reveal any obvious comprehensive and integrated lateral force
resisting system. We suggest that you obtain copies of the lateral
force system calculations and check the plans to insure that the
calculation results have been incorporated into the plans and details.
If you have any further questions in this matter please do not hesitate
to contact us.

Evaluation of Concrete Cracking
Dear Wayne:
In accordance with your request, we observed existing cracking of
concrete shear walls at the subject project with you on September
4 , 1990.
Generally the cracks observed were diagonal cracks extending from
the top outer ends of shear walls to the interior lower edge of
the shear walls. These cracks appear at lines of resistance
where shear walls occur at opposite ends of the building such as
at the north and west wall. For the purpose of this report, Palm
Street is assumed to run north and south. The south and east
walls which occur approximately midlength of the building have
sustained no discernable damage.
but is The west wall is continuous across the west end of the building,
dicontol jots.
vided
the tcracking fintthe west ive lwalls byoccursrin thein
ntwo
end sections. The north wall occurs in two sections at opposite
ends of the building, and the cracks are most severe near the
ends of the building. in addition, the cracking was noted to be
more severe at the lower levels.
There is a pour strip extending across the structure at
approximately midlength. This effectively uncouples the shear
walls along the north side from the effects of elastic
shortening. The cracks appear to be a little more severe at the
west end shear walls where there is no such pour strip to
mitigate the effects of elastic shortening.
The floor slabs are prestressed and are subject to the volumetric
changes associated with prestressing. The walls are not
prestressed, and undergo no such volumetric changes . The floor
slabs are cast into the walls.
Wayne Peterson
November 9, 1990

It is our opinion that the cracks in the shear walls are due to a
combination of stresses caused by elastic shortening of the floor
the
slabs due to prestressing, and creep in the floor slabs due to
top endssof ustained
com ressiowalls ofrom
omprestressing. Essentially' the

result. The west end ,,all is being stressed by the slab from
both elastic shortening and the continuing action of creep in the I
slab. The north end wall is being stressed by the slab primarily
from creep in the slab due to the sustained compression from
prestressing, and not from the original elastic shortening.
Since the length of the slab is substantially more than the
width, the effects of only the creep in the longitudinal
direction have an effect similar to the sum of elastic shortening
and creep in the transverse direction.
The total effects of creep can be in the range of double that due
to the initial elastic shortening. Based upon the approximate
age of the structure, we estimate that between 70% and 8s% of the
effects of creep have been experienced to date.
i
We have reviewed the material we received which was supposed to
contain calculations showing the magnitude of stress in the shear
walls. This documentation contained only examples of the
operation of the programs used to calculate the shear walls, and
' ad no actual calculations for the specific
pro .do not know the level of stress in the shearectwalls. ThHowever,
we must assume they are fairly highly stressed, and cannot
accomodate the partial loss of the concrete component of shear
resistance due to the cracking.
We recommend that a ox n

through Cuesta Equipment, but the process requires some training. i
Therefore, the procedure must be supervised by a contractor or
manufacturer's representative experienced in this type of work .
You should be aware that since not all of the creep has occurred
as described above, it is possible that additional cracking will
occur after the current cracks are repaired. W do not recommend
that you wait to rtpair the cracks since the remain er of the
creep will take a number of years to occur,

We suggest that you repair the current cracks, and resolve
problems of any further cracking if and when they occur.

Contractor, the City of San Luis Obispo may relieve him of the duty of
maintaining and protecting certain portions of the work that have been
completed in all respects in accordance with the requirements of the
Contract and to the satisfaction of the Engineer, and thereafter except
with his consent, the Contractor will not be required to do further work
thereon. In addition, such action by the City will relieve the Contractor
of responsibility for injury or damage to said completed portions of the
work resulting from use by public traffic or from the action of the
elements or from any other cause, but not from injury or damage resulting
from the Contractor's own operations or from his negligence.
However, nothing in this Article "W" providing for relief from maintenance
and responsibility will be construed as relieving the Contractor of full
responsibility for making good the defective work or materials found at
any time before the formal written acceptance of the entire contract by
the City of San Luis Obispo.
Z. Personal Liability. Neither the City Council, the City Engineer, nor
any other officer or authorized assistant or agent shall be personally
responsible for any liability arising under the Contract.
A-A. Responsibility for Damage. The City of San Luis Obispo, the City
Council, the City Engineer, or his authorized assistants or agents, shall
not be answerable or accountable in any manner for any loss or damage that
may happen to the work or any part thereof, or for loss or damage to any
material or equipment used in performing the work.
B-B. Responsibility of the City. The City of San Luis Obispo shall not
be held responsible for the care or protection of any material or parts of
the work prior to final acceptance of the work, except as expressly
provided in these specifications.
C-C. Guarantee. The Contractor shall be responsible for faulty materials

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM NUMBER
FROM: Arnold B. Jonas, Community Development Director;
FK By: Pam Ricci, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Consideration of an exchange of property between the City
of San Luis Obispo (Laguna Lake Municipal Golf Course, 11175
Los Osos Valley Road) and Laguna Lake Mobile Estates (1801
Prefumo Canyon Road) .
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the attached resolution approving the land exchange based on
findings and subject to conditions.
REPORT IN BRIEF:
The owners of Laguna Lake Mobile Estates have applied to the city for a
tentative subdivision map to create a mobilehome park condominium. While
reviewing that map, it was discovered that portions of mobilehomes,
fencing and other improvements encroach onto the adjacent city-owned
Laguna Lake Municipal Golf Course (along the north and east property
lines of the mobilehome park) . Staff has postponed continued processing
of the tentative subdivision map until the encroachment issue is
resolved.
Three alternatives were identified by staff to deal with the
encroachments: 1. ) require the removal of the encroachments; 2. ) allow
the improvements to remain with encroachment permits; and 3. ) modify the
locations of lot lines where the encroachments occur. Because the
encroachments do not adversely affect the golf course's operations and .
since the total area where the encroachments occur is small (about 0. 1
acre) , staff felt that adjusting lot lines would be the most efficient
and least disruptive approach to handling the situation. As requested
by the city, the owners of the mobilehome park have submitted a lot line
adjustment map to adjust property boundaries accordingly.
In exchange for acquiring the 0. 1 acre of city golf course land where the
encroachments occur, the owners of the mobilehome park are proposing to
dedicate to the city about 5.3 acres of creek/open space area. Section
906 of the City Charter requires that any sale or lease of, or in this
case, exchange of, city property be approved by a 3/5 majority of the
council. The council in reviewing the land exchange will need to
determine appropriate compensation for the city land involved - either
acceptance of the proposal to dedicate in fee to the city the creek
channel area now owned by the mobilehome park or payment to the city for
the fair market value of the land.
In accordance with California Government Code Section 65402, the Planning
Commission on March 27, 1991 found the land exchange consistent with the
general plan.

SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS
With conditions requiring improvements to stabilize the creek bank area
and prevent further undermining of two significant trees, no significant
environmental impacts are expected from the land exchange.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT TARING THE RECOMMENDED ACTION
If the council denies the property exchange, then the applicant would
need to either obtain encroachment permits from the city, remove the
encroachments or pay fair market value for the city property.

Site Description
The golf course property owned by the city where the encroachments by the
mobile home park occur is fairly flat and open. The encroachment area
is very narrow (about 8 feet wide at its widest) and long and occurs
along most of the extent of the north and east property lines of the
mobilehome park shared with the golf course. The total encroachment area
consists of about 0.1 acre.
The creek area proposed by the owners of the mobilehome park to be
offered in fee to the city in exchange for the encroachment area
described above includes open space areas beyond the top of bank,
including a playground, as well as the creek area itself which has
steeply sloping banks and a fairly wide and flat channel area. The total
creek/open space area being offered to the city totals about 5.3 acres.

EVALUATION
Staff feels that the proposed land exchange is in the city's best j
interest and consistent with land use and open space policies to acquire
creek and open space areas in fee. Acquisition of the creek area will
allow for pedestrian linkages between the Royal Way tracts and Prefumo
Canyon Road. It is staff's opinion that the small amount of golf course
property that will be exchanged will not have any impact on the course's
operations and therefore not raise general plan policy consistency
issues.
i
i
While staff supports the proposed land exchange and is enthusiastic about
acquisition of the creek/open space area, it is staff's opinion that the
exchange should be conditioned upon existing creek bank erosion problems
being addressed. On March 12, 1991, city planning and engineering staff
meet with representatives of the property owners and residents of the
mobilehome park to "walk" the creek. During that meeting, adjustments
to the proposed lot line location along the top of bank were agreed upon
and needed improvements to the bank area to address erosion problems were
evaluated.
I
The banks of this creek corridor have been significantly eroded from past
storms. Of particular concern are two large trees (one oak and one
sycamore) that have been undermined by erosion and have exposed root
systems. Both city staff and the Planning Commission feel that repair
work to the channel should be completed before city acceptance of the j
area offered for exchange and that the cost for the needed improvements
should be borne by the existing property owner, not the city. The
j proposed property exchange is a mechanism for assuring that this needed
erosion repair work is completed in a timely matter. However, since the '
city is aware of the erosion problems, it could pursue the required
repair work under current city abatement regulations without any specific
planning entitlement involved.
An attached letter from Gary Collister of Cal Park, the company
representing the mobilehome park owners on the conversion request,
contains a formal request to waive any requirements for extensive erosion
repair work. The letter cites the discrepancy in the relative assessed
values of the two properties as a reason (the much greater value of the
creek/open space area that the city would acquire as compared to the golf
course property that would be exchanged) to waive the required
improvements. The submitted appraisal and the relative values of the
properties to be exchanged is discussed in greater detail below under the
Fiscal Impact section.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Require the applicant to pay the fair market value for the city golf
course property land to enable the property boundaries adjustment
proposed (would allow encroachments to remain) .
S '3
�il��lilllllillUl'' i��I►'�I city Of San tins OBISPO

2 . Deny the proposed property exchange requiring the applicant to either
obtain encroachment permits from the city or remove the encroachments.
3 . Continue review if the council feels that additional information is
necessary in order to render a decision.
The council could continue consideration with the agreement of the
subdivider. Lot line adjustment maps are administrative actions that j
are handled by planning staff. However, they are governed by the same
processing deadlines as other subdivision maps are. The deadline for
action is May 15 , 1991 unless the applicant agrees to an extension
of processing (one-time 90-day extension) .
OTHER DEPARTMENT REVIEW
The Public Works Department has pointed out the need for repair work to
the creek bank area to address erosion problems. They have stipulated
that deeds to finalize the proposed land exchange should not be recorded
until the work is done or appropriately bonded for.
FISCAL IMPACT
An appraisal prepared by Gerald C. Taylor of the firm Schenberger,
Taylor, Mc Cormick and Jecker (available in file for review) and
submitted by the applicant on March 18, 1991, indicates that the property
offered by the mobilehome park to the city (5. 3 acres in the creek area)
has an appraised value of $124, 000, over 40 times higher than the $3, 000
that the land now owned by the city where the encroachments occur was
appraised at (about 0.1 acre of golf course property) . While staff
agrees that the property the city would obtain is larger and would have
a higher value, the actual discrepancy in the relative values of the
properties is probably overstated. The appraisal does not take into
account the cost savings to the mobilehome park property owner of not
having to move homes and other improvements encroaching onto the city
property.
In conclusion, the creek/open space area that the city would acquire is
i of equal or .higher value than the golf course property it would be
exchanging. If the property owner does the necessary repair work to the
creek corridor, the proposed property exchange will not require any
outlay of city funds.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the attached draft resolution which approves the land exchange with
conditions.

Re: Gerald Taylor, M.A.I.Appraisal
Relative Values of T as una Lake Encroachment and Creek Bed Areas
Dear Ms. Ricci:
Please find enclosed a copy of Mr. Taylor's appraisal of the above-referenced values
to be used in connection with the City of San Luis Obispo's analysis of the proposed
trade between the encroaching area of Laguna Lake Mobile Estates upon City land
and a portion of Laguna Lake property including the creek bed and current open
space areas. It is clear from the appraisal that the proposed trade is heavily weighted
towards the City's benefit. The valuation for the City land totalled $3,000 versus the
Laguna Lake property valuation of $124,000.
After a meeting on March 12th at Laguna Lake with Mr. Dave Romero of Public
Works and representatives of this company, it appears that the City is interested in the
Laguna Lake Company providing extensive repairs to the creek bed area beyond the
scope of just shoring the Laguna Lake side of the bank. Given the fact that Laguna
Lake Company is willing to convey $121,000 of excess property value to the City in
consideration of the proposed trade and that the City has access to special grant funds
earmarked for such repairs to waterways, it is the position of Laguna Lake Company
that it should not be responsible for the City desired repairs to the creek bed area.
As designated representatives of Laguna Lake Company, we are formally making this
request of the City. We are most anxious to resolve this issue so that we all may

MEMORANDUM
TO: Pam Ricci, Community Development Department
FROM: David F. Romero, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Values of Laoruna Lake Encroachment and Creekbed
Areas - Letter of March 15 from Gary Collister
The offer of the developer of this property, that the City
exchange golf course property and conduct major creek work in
exchange for the creek easement, is not acceptable. I believe
the City has the authority to require the developer to relocate
mobilehome coaches as necessary from golf course property, and
can also require the improvement of the creek and dedication of
the creek area. I feel our offer to exchange property for
property was extremely generous. I am not receptive to the
counter offer presented by Mr. Collister.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Pam Ricci, Associate Planner
FROM: `merry Kenny, Supervising Civil Engineer
SUBJE Laguna Lake Mobile Home Park, SLOAL 91-019
& Tract No. 2038 .
Dave Romero is responding with a separate memo to your department
regarding the CalPark letter of 3-15-91. Their request to delete
the requirement to stabilize the banks, etc. because of the offer
to deed the creek and open-space land is not acceptable to this
department. The City can get everything we really need simply
with the easements for open-space, creek and utility easements.
The fact is, the repair work is already necessary, especially the
trees which are a threat due to undermining caused by erosion.
We plan to pursue the repair work near the threatened trees under
current abatement regulations, regardless of the subdivision.
One important point in dealing with the Lot Line Adjustment is
that the City should not approve the "final" processing of the
exchange of property (deeds) until the work is done, or,
guaranteed under an agreement and appropriate bonding.
Please send a copy of the appraisal attached to their letter for
our records.
