ALLOCATION OF FUNDS TO PERFORM NOISE ANALYSIS - I-5 SOUND ISSUES (LAS BRISAS AND CAPISTRANO GARDEN HOMES)(80050) Proposal: Consideration of an expenditure of up to $15,000 to conduct an independent noise study to determine the nature and extent of the noise -related problems in the Las Brisas and Capistrano Garden Homes adjacent to the newly -constructed sound attenuation on the west side of the I-5 freeway between the Junipero Serra and Ortega Highway off -ramps. Applicant: City of San Juan Capistrano Written Communications: Report dated June 3, 1997, from the Engineering and Building Director, noting issues of concern to residents and points of disagreement between residents and the Transportation Corridor Agency with regard to the sound attenuation measures and noise studies. The Report advised that building of the continuous soundwall, as requested by residents, would cost between $200,000 and $300,000. Legal responsibility for the wall rests with the Transportation Corridor Agency if they have not met their obligations to assure noise levels do not exceed the federally -mandated levels. It was felt that an independent analysis would provide additional evidence for whether the sound mitigation measures were functioning correctly. Contour grading profiles and a sound reading property location map were on display. The Engineering and Building Director made an oral report, noting that residents in the Capistrano Gardens development felt that noise levels had increased, rather than decreased, as a result of the constructed sound walls and sound berms. He advised that residents referred to correspondence from the Transportation Corridor Agency which promised construction of a full, solid sound wall. He indicated that Transportation Corridor Agency sound studies following construction of the walls and berms found that levels were below Federal standards. As directed by Council on April 15, 1997, staff met with residents to address concerns. Mr. Huber noted that the residents' request was for building of a full sound wall. He further noted that there was no factual evidence to support the residents' claims of increased noise levels. He indicated staff could not support the residents' request for sound wall construction without verifying the actual sound readings. The study conducted by the City would include a minimum of 8 locations on 2 different days, with readings taken for a full 24-hour period at each location. Public Hearine: Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Swerdlin opened the public hearing, and the following persons responded: (1) Kathleen Petersen, 31121 Via Santo Tomas, President of Capistrano Gardens Homeowners Association 42, advised that she and a contractor had walked the length of the wall. She described their findings and indicated that a hand-held sound reader City Council Minutes -6- 6/3/97 showed a significant differences in noise levels between Capistrano Gardens No. 1, where the constructed sound barriers are higher, and Capistrano Gardens No. 2. She felt their neighborhoods were at -risk and property values were negatively impacted. She requested information regarding which homeowners had threatened lawsuits; minutes of the Transportation Corridor Agency meeting when Council Member Campbell brought this issue to the Board; and, copies of maps showing the area before and after construction. She stated support for the alternate recommendation which directed staff to design and construct the additional sound wall as requested by the residents. (2) Helen McCarthy, 31086 Via San Vicente, presented copies of Table 5, State Route 73 Traffic Noise Prediction and Noise Barrier Analysis from the Noise Impact Assessment Report for the California Corridor Constructors and Parsons, Inc., dated March 18, 1996. She discussed the presented information and expressed concerns with days and times of the sound readings taken by the Corridor. She noted that trees have been removed, dried weed areas are a potential fire hazard, and the area is polluted. Stated that she understood the Council's concern for the beauty of San Juan, but felt her living environment, safety and security took precedence over beautification of the City. (3) Jim Halstead, 304 Avenida Siena, San Clemente, advised he had accompanied Ms. Petersen and Ms. McCarthy on their walk along the wall, and described his ' observations. (3) Marcia Talbot, 31126 Via San Vicente, stated that the noise levels were loud, intense and unbearable regardless of the results of any sound study. She felt that the City had authorized variances from the recommendations set forth in the Noise Assessment Report and requested that the obligation to build a full sound wall be fulfilled. (4) RhenKohan, 31061 Via Santo Tomas, stated the sound wall should have been built as originally planned and suggested that the $15,000 requested for the sound study be rather put toward constructing the sound wall. She felt sound wall aesthetic treatment could combine form and function. She questioned whether the City would support the residents, even to a lawsuit, in order to complete the wall. (5) Janet Whitner, 26672 Calle Bonita, stated that she did not live in affected area but has on many occasions taken walks through the Via San Vicente area. Stated that she cannot carry on a conversation while walking due to the noise level being so high. Council Comments: Council Member Jones reiterated that the cost was never a consideration when the decision to use the berms was made; that the City had been assured that berms were as good or better than sound walls. Council Member Campbell advised that there was a difference in opinion ' between the Corridor Agency and the residents; however before the Corridor Agency would take any further action, there had to be statistics to back up the residents' claims. Council City Council Minutes -7- 6/3/97 204 discussion included suggestions that the study take into consideration the higher speed limit now in effect; the fact that the first sound study was taken before the freeway widening had occurred; and whether the berms or walls are above the stack level of trucks.

STATUS OF PROPOSED MERGER OF CAPISTRANO VALLEY WATER DISTRICT WITH CITY (1050.60) Written Communications: Report dated June 3, 1997, from the City Manager, providing an overview of the steps taken to merge the budget, equipment, facilities and staff of the Capistrano Valley Water District with the City of San Juan Capistrano. The Report noted that difficulties had been encountered during negotiations with the City of Dana Point which would ultimately increase the cost of service to the Water District rate payers. An increase in costs was inconsistent with the original goal of decreasing costs. The Report recommended development of an Operation and Maintenance Agreement with the Water District whereby the City would operate and maintain the water system, retain the District employees as City employees, and perform all the functions necessary to manage the water system, while still realizing the estimated cost savings. ' The City Manager made an oral report, noting that the Water District included four areas outside the City boundaries. All four areas would need a new governmental entity if the City Council Minutes -9- 6/3/97 206 consolidation were to go forth. Three areas were small and a service agreement with Moulton Niguel was in the final stages. The fourth area was in Dana Point and a satisfactory agreement for services had not been reached due to certain costs that would be associated with serving that area. He discussed an alternative that would provide for merger of employees and facilities and provide for a contract between the City and the present Water District for operations and maintenance. Mr. Scarborough indicated this alternative would retain all the anticipated cost savings and would be in the best interests of the customers. Council Member Campbell stated opposition to any action that would increase rates for City residents. Council Member Jones noted that the Local Agency Formation Commission had recommended that the City continue negotiating with the City of Dana Point and in the meantime work with the Municipal Water District of Orange County. He cited support for withdrawing the application before the Local Agency Formation Commission. Council Member Hart concurred, noting that the purpose behind the proposed merger had been for efficiency and cost savings for the rate payers. Council Member Greiner also concurred in supporting the City staff recommendation to pursue an operations and maintenance Agreement with the Capistrano Valley Water District, rather than a merger through the Local Agency Formation Commission process. Mayor Swerdlin concurred that merging the Capistrano Valley Water District with the City through an operations and maintenance agreement appeared to be the best avenue due to savings to the rate payers; however, he also felt it was important for the Local Agency Formation Commission to start its first consolidation of water districts. He recommended that Council approve an operation and maintenance agreement, but also run a parallel course with the Local Agency Formation Commission for the consolidation as previously recommended by the Local Agency Formation Commission staff. Termination of Local Agency Formation Commission Proceedings/Initiation of A_ereement: It was moved by Council Member Jones, seconded by Council Member Hart, and carried with Mayor Swerdlin voting in the negative, to direct staff to take the necessary steps to terminate the Local Agency Formation Commission proceedings and develop an Operation and Maintenance Agreement between the City and the Capistrano Valley Water District.
