3. CALTRANS PARCEL AT WALNUT GROVE AND HELLMAN AVENUES
Agencymember Bruesch asked if the City could purchase that property, remove the walls
and just landscape it.
Agencymember Taylor stated that he is in favor of purchasing the property as from prior
discussions, it is centrally located and could be used as a service yard. Mr. Taylor stated that the
price is right, but questioned if the City really needs this property or will use it?
Frank Tripepi, Executive Director, responded that it could be used as a service yard to
possibly house the maintenance crews and equipment that work in the southern part of the City.
Agencymember Taylor stated that the property could be purchased at this price and used
for future expansion. Mr. Taylor continued that by removing the asphalt to landscape that entire
area might agitate the soil and create hazardous dust.
Ken Rukavina, City Engineer, explained that when you excavate and haul away
materials, that creates hazardous waste issues such as having the materials tested or finding a
landfill to accept it. Mr. Rukavina stated that if only the asphalt is lifted and hauled away, the
soil can be "capped" with F of soil, then landscaped.
Mr. Tripepi stated that portable buildings could be put on the property, thereby,
eliminating the need to excavate.
Agencymember Bruesch asked if a wall built surrounding the property would be enough
construction to cause it to go into remediation?
- Mr. Rukavina responded that possibly it could, but there is not that much volume there.
Mr. Rukavina continued that the PCB issue is not that significant and that the present macadam
could be repaved with new techniques.
Agencymember Bruesch asked staff to develop scenarios to develop that property as it is
presently an eyesore. Mr. Bruesch added that if the City purchased that property, there would be
a marked improvement to it.
Vice-Chairman Imperial stated that he has made at least three trips over the years to
Sacramento to try and purchase that property because it has been such an unattractive site. Mr.
Imperial stated that if the City purchased that property and did nothing else but landscape-that
site, it would be a great improvement to the area.
Agencymember Taylor agreed with Agencymember Imperial.
MOTION BY AGENCYMEMBER BRUESCH, SECOND BY AGENCYMEBER
VASQUEZ that the Agency approve purchase of the Caltrans parcel at Walnut Grove and
Hellman Avenue. Vote resulted:
