REOUEST To CHANGE PROJECT SCOPE AND FUND fl A T PARKING DECK(DEPARTMENT OF SPORTATI (60MM Written Communication: Report dated April 5, 1994, from the Director of Engineering land Building,recommending that the project scope and funding for the Multi-Modal Parking Deck be revised from a parking deck to an expanded surface parking area(Option 5)and that funding from Caltrans be reallocated to accommodate Option 5. Option 5 would assume acquisition of the DiMaio property and would maximize the site for parking without a deck by the use of retaining walls near Camino Capistrano. The report further recommended that if the acquisition price exceeded$400,000,staff would pursue Option 4,which conformed to the site"notch"configuration. Mr. Huber made an oral presentation. He stated that any surplus of funds could be transferred to fund any shortfalls in the railroad platform project. He noted that the landscaping and retaining walls proposed for Option 5 were conceptual only at this time but that 10-foot wide landscape islands were proposed With regard to the proposed retaining walls,he stated that the architect preferred that an architectural treatment be used that would be consistent with the City's high standards,perhaps similar to the wall at the Depot. Public Comments: (1) John Gamble,attorney speaking on behalf of Sue DiMaio,felt there was a discrepancy between the Resolution's stated acquisition amount of 5450,000 and!the acquisition price of$400,000 stated in the Staff Report recommendation. He suggested that any surplus funds be used to compensate Ms. DiMaio for her property since he felt there was sufficient flexibility in the proposal to Caltrans to do so. He inquired about the estimated date for payment of the property. Mr.Huber indicated that if acquisition of the DiMaio property proved too expensive under Option 5,Option 4 would be implemented for only six less parking spaces. He advised that the grant application would be submitted to the California Transportation Commission in June or July 1994,with a response shortly thereafter. City Council Minutes -9- 4/5/94
