IIIN�Ip►►II�IIIIIIIIIIEli��NII,II�I city (� MEETING GATE: I►►Yi�l c� or san �u�s o�ispo �o• 2 COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM NUMBER: u FROM: Arnold B. Jonas, Community Development Director; o By: Pam Ricci, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Consideration of an agreement between the City and Ted Frankel, property owner of 680 Higuera Street, for shared costs of Mission Plaza Extension improvements. CAO RECOMMENDATION: 1. By motion, approve and authorize the Mayor to execute the attached agreement with Ted Frankel, for Mission Plaza Extension Improvements. 2. By motion, approve the transfer of $13 , 342 from the Capital Appropriation Account to the Capital Expense Account (040-9563-092- 572) to reimburse the property owner/developer for the work identified in the above agreement. DISCUSSION: When the City extended Mission Plaza between Broad and Nipomo Streets in 1988, a portion was left with temporary improvements. The uncompleted section located between McLintock ' s and B. Anthony Jewelers borders the last vacant lot on that block of Higuera Street (680 Higuera Street) . The final design and installation of this walkway section had to. wait until construction of the approved building on the vacant lot. With construction of the new building, the creek stairs were to be relocated, the upper walkway extended along the rear of the new building, and the lower walkway widened and relandscaped. The project originally approved for 680 Higuera Street, known as the Gregorian Building, was never built, and planning permit approvals lapsed. On November 5, 1990, a new three-story building for Tom' s Toys was approved by the Architectural Review Commission (ARC) . Construction of this new building provides the City with the opportunity to complete the Mission Plaza Extension as it was originally designed. City staff has negotiated a shared approach with the property owneIr and project architect regarding responsibilities and costs:.--to complete the Mission Plaza Extension work. With this approach, the City would pay the costs of: 1) modifying and relocating the stairs now-attached to the walkway behind Mc Lintock ' s to "fit" the new building;..2) removing the existing retaining wall and reinstalling the bench and commemorative plaque; and 3) installing Mission-style paving at the lower walkway; and 4) installing planter areas and City-owned lighting fixture. Estimated cost: $13 , 342 . 00 The developer would cover the costs of footings for -the new stairs, connecting the stairs to the new structure, installing-the upper eight- foot wide creek walkway with Mission-style paving, removs temporary=metal deck supports in the walkway, install new walkway lighting, and build an upgraded building retaining wall to allow the lower.__:walkway to be widened. Estimated cost: $41, 200 . 00 i�IN11hIIII�IIIIIIIIIIIII ll�lll city Of San L_JS OBISPO AN COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT 680 Higuera Street Agreement Page 2 CONSEQUENCES OF NOT TARING THE RECOMMENDED ACTION If the Council does not support the attached agreement, then the specific terms and conditions of the agreement regarding shared responsibilities for the Mission Plaza Extension work would need to be renegotiated between the City and the property owner. A revised agreement would then return to the Council for approval at a later date. j CONCLUSION Staff feels that the improvements outlined in the attached agreement will enhance the appearance and improve the safety of this section of Mission Plaza. The proposed changes are consistent with the Council 's original j approval of plans for the Mission Plaza Extension and ARC approved building plans (ARC 90-43) . CONCURRENCES The attached agreement was prepared by the Engineering Division of Public Works in conjunction with the Planning Division of the Community Development Department. FISCAL IMPACT $50, 000 per year is included in the City' s Capital Improvement Plan for unspecified Mission Plaza Improvements. This project qualifies for use of these funds. With Council approval of the agreement, a Budget Amendment Request will be processed transferring $13 , 342 from the Capital Appropriation Account to the Capital Expense Account, and a purchase order will be prepared for the work. I ALTERNATIVES I 1. The Council could deny the attached agreement with direction on what appropriate terms and conditions of a revised agreement would contain. 2 . The Council could continue consideration of the agreement with direction on additional information needed to render a decision.

Remove the stairs at the present location (behind McLintock's) . 2. Extend the 2nd level walkway closest to McLintock's, from 6 feet to 8 feet wide. 3 . Bring the back of the toy store flush with the rear corner of B. Anthony's in order to make a smooth transition without a 12 inch jog. 4. Modify and relocate the stairs south of their present location. We are proposing a cost sharing with the City. The City would pay for the cost of stair modification to take into consideration the difference in height between the two locations, and pay for removing and reinstalling the stairs. We would pay for making connections to building structure and pour necessary footings for mid-span and end supports of stairs, and crane time. 5. Bring building retaining wall to the level of the lower creek walk to make it possible for the City to remove the existing retaining wall, grade and pave. My client will "dress up" the surface of the wall with slump block to match existing creek walk masonry work. Sincerely, Thomas Martin - Ted Frankel Martin & Steele Owner J TM:nm cc. Ted Frankel
