AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Adopt Plans and Specifications No. PW 94 -10 for the Recoating of
Interior and Exterior Surfaces of 200,000 Gallon Elevated Steel
Water Tank (estimated cost - $ 150,000).
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Adopt Plans and Specifications.
Authorize Staff to advertise for bids.
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The City's 200,000 gallon elevated steel water storage tank was
constructed in 1947. The last recoating of the tank's interior and
exterior surfaces was done in 1982. Subsequently in 1994, the
steel structure was seismically retrofitted.
Both the interior and exterior surfaces of the tank have rusted and
the current coatings have deteriorated as evidenced by blistering,
peeling, cracking of paint and oxidation chalking of the exterior
surfaces.
Staff is proposing a project to recoat the interior and exterior
surfaces of the tank to preserve the tank structure's integrity and
to enhance the tank's appearance. The proposed work includes
encasing the tank in a containment structure, removing all corroded
surface materials, cleaning and coating both the interior and
exterior surfaces of the tank with three (3) layers of coating
material. The existing °EL SEGUNDO" lettering on the tank will be
replaced in -kind. The selection of the color for the finish surface
will be made from color samples to be provided by the coating
manufacturers. It is the current intention of staff to paint the
tank exterior to reasonably match the existing color.
The coating work is anticipated to take sixty (60) days, during
which time the tank will be taken out of service. The Water/
Wastewater Division has assured that water service to the community
will not be disrupted during the coating period.
The project is budgeted for funding from water enterprise funds in
the Capital Improvement Program. The project cost is estimated to
be $ 150,000.00.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: 5/2/95
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Six (6) month status report by the Traffic Committee regarding traffic
concerns in the vicinity of the Washington Street and Palm
Avenue intersection.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Receive and file report.
BRIEF SUMMARY:
On October 18, 1995, the City Council received a report by the City
Traffic Committee regarding several traffic related concerns raised
by residents in the vicinity of the Palm Avenue and Washington Street.
As a result of the report, the City Council directed Staff to install
several "SLOW- CHILDREN PLAYING" signs, one (1) "ADVANCE SCHOOL ZONE"
sign and crosswalk markings at the Palm Avenue /Washington Street
intersection. The Council further directed Staff to submit a six (6)
month status report regarding the above traffic concerns.
Enclosed for City Council information is a memorandum from the Police
Department which identifies traffic related issues in the area during
the previous six (6) month period.
Subsequent to installation of the Council authorized signs, in
November, 1994, two (2) residents, approached the Traffic Committee
to inquire about the feasibility of closing Palm Avenue to westbound
traffic at a point west of the Palm Avenue /Sepulveda Boulevard
intersection. Pursuant to a study, the Traffic Committee recommended
against the proposed partial street closure. This issue was again
raised in connection with the proposed car wash project at 639 North
Sepulveda Boulevard. A memo report dated 3/28/95 to the City Planning
and Building Safety Department regarding the Traffic Committee's
recommendation is enclosed.
A subsequent letter dated 4/20/95 from Ms. Latshaw and a petition
dated 4/17/95 from the area residents for closing Palm Avenue are also
enclosed. Since there have been no significant changes in the area,
the Committee's comments and recommendations relative to the initial
November, 1994 request for partial closure of Palm Avenue will
probably still be valid.

BRIEF SUMMARY: (continued)
Truck traffic on Washington Street between
Mariposa Avenue and Walnut Avenue.
Chapter 10.40 of the City Municipal Code and the adopted
General Plan have established certain City streets as truck
routes (attached map). Streets designated as truck routes are
posted with "TRUCK ROUTE" signs and streets that do not have
such posted signs are non -truck routes. Washington Street is
not a designated truck route. Trucks exceeding a gross weight
limit of three (3) tons must use posted "TRUCK ROUTE" streets
for through travel and are permitted to use City streets not
designated as a truck route only for pickups, deliveries and
construction related purposes. Enforcement of the current
truck route restrictions is being done by the Police
Department. Part of the enforcement procedure is the
determination of whether or not a particular truck is using
the non -truck route designated street for pickups, deliveries
and construction related purpose and whether or not this
street is the most direct route to the location of pickup,
deliveries and construction from a designated truck route.
Recommendation:
Police Department to continue enforcement of truck route
restrictions currently in place. The Department has notified
the petitioners regarding this matter (attached).
°SLOW - CHILDREN PLAYING" signage.
Due to the reported heavy usage of Washington Park by
neighborhood children, the Traffic Committee concurs with
installation of these signs along Washington Street between
Mariposa Avenue and Walnut Avenue. Two (2) signs are
recommended along Washington Street for each of the three (3)
sections between Mariposa Avenue and Palm Avenue, Palm Avenue
and Maple Avenue and Maple Avenue and Walnut Avenue.
Recommendation:
install a total of six (6) signs along Washington Street
between Mariposa Avenue and Walnut Avenue. These signs have
been ordered and are anticipated to be installed within the
next two (2) or three (3) weeks.
3. "ADVANCE SCHOOL ZONE" sign on Palm Avenue between
California Street and Washington Street.
Westbound Palm Avenue dead ends at Center Street School. The
Traffic Committee concurs that an advance school symbol sign
be installed for westbound Palm Avenue traffic, west of
Washington Street.
Recommendation:
Install one (1) advance school symbol sign on Palm Avenue
approximately mid -way between Washington Street and California
Street. This sign will be installed within the next week.

Painted Crosswalks at the Palm Avenue/
Washington Street Intersection.
California Vehicle Code Section 274(a) defines crosswalk as
the portion of an intersection connecting boundary lines of
sidewalks. This definition is applicable whether or not the
intersection has painted crosswalks. Other similar
residential area intersections in the City are not marked with
painted crosswalks. The Palm Avenue /Washington Street
intersection has four way STOP sign controls and all four legs
of the intersection have painted STOP bars. The STOP bars
represent limit lines for stopping of vehicles at the STOP
sign and to permit pedestrians to cross the street before
proceeding further. A review of accident history at this
location did not indicate any pedestrian accidents in the last
five (5) years.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that other improvements recommended by the
Traffic Committee be implemented and evaluated for a period of
six (6) months. Painting crosswalks at the Palm Avenue/
Washington Street intersection at this time is not
recommended.
"NO RIGHT TURN" sign for vehicles exiting the Stick and
Stein restaurant to access Palm Avenue.
One of the concerns expressed was the increased westbound
traffic on Palm Avenue from vehicles exiting the Stick and
Stein restaurant travelling west on Palm Avenue. The Traffic
Committee discussed this concern with Mr. George Stevens,
owner of the restaurant. In a goodwill gesture to be
responsive to the concerns of the neighborhood, Mr. Stevens
stated that he will not have any objection to prohibiting
right turns at the Palm Avenue driveway from the restaurant's
parking lot.
Recommendation:
Install a "NO RIGHT TURN" sign at the Palm Avenue driveway.
This sign will be installed within the next week.
One -way designation for Palm Avenue between
One -way conversion of an existing two -way street is most
effective when a parallel street not far apart is also
converted into a one -way street, thereby creating a one -way
couplet. The two (2) streets adjacent to Palm Avenue, between
California Street and Sepulveda Boulevard, are Maple Avenue to
the north and Mariposa Avenue to the south. Both these
streets function as collector streets to the general area and
have signalized intersections with Sepulveda Boulevard. These
two (2) streets are not recommended for one -way conversion to
form a one -way couplet with Palm Avenue.
One way conversions also tend to confuse the travelling
public, may lead to traffic intrusion on other local streets
in the vicinity and have a negative impact on emergency
vehicular access.
Recommendation:
Conversion of Palm Avenue between California Street and
Sepulveda Boulevard into an eastbound one -way street is not
recommended.
- 3 of 4 -
120
7. Center Street School traffic:
There is an existing circular driveway in front of the school
on the eastside of Center Street, north of Mariposa Avenue.
Portions of this driveway are marked for passenger loading and
unloading. Apparently, the use of this driveway by parents
dropping off and pickup of their children during the morning
and afternoon school hours has led to traffic backing on to
Center Street. The problem in the afternoon is apparently
worse than during the morning hours.
The Police Department has discussed this matter with the
Center Street School Principal. In order to alleviate the
problem, the school, starting 10/10/94, has chosen to close
the circular driveway between 2:00 pm and 3:00 pm and has
notified parents of this change (attached school
notification). The school is encouraging parents to pickup
and drop off their children at the existing pedestrian gates
at the school side of Oak Street east of Center Street and at
California Street south of Oak Street. These pickup and drop
off locations proposed by the school are safe, do not require
children to cross the street and would relieve Center Street
congestion caused by the single pickup and drop off point on
Center Street in front of the school.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that in order to compliment the efforts of
the school, the Police Department explore the feasibility of
utilizing the Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol Staff to assist
in traffic control on Center Street in the vicinity of the
school.
S. Speed bumps and undulations:
Section 21401 of the Vehicle Code stipulates that only
official traffic control devices approved by the Department of
Transportation shall be placed upon a street. Since the
intent of installing a speed bump or an undulation (which is
a gentler speed bump of lesser severity and installed over a
greater pavement area) is to control vehicular speed, these
improvements would be considered as traffic control devices.
Either speed bumps or undulations are not approved by the
Department of Transportation as traffic control devices.
Speed bumps and undulations (to a lesser degree) present an
obstruction to smooth driving and pose certain liabilities to
the agency that installs these devices. Since the street
gutter area has to be kept open for street drainage, speed
bumps and undulations do not extend to the street curb face.
As a consequence, motorists have a tendency to drive around
the speed bumps and undulations causing an irregular travel
pattern near these installations.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Police Department continue to
enforce current speed limit restrictions and installation of
speed bumps or undulations to control vehicular speed is not
recommended.
9. "STOP" sign and drunk driving_ violations:
These are essentially Police Department enforcement issues and
are currently being enforced.
Recosmiendation•
It is recommended that the Police Department continue to
enforce current "STOP" sign and drunk driving laws.

Dear:
As a result of your petition initiated by you and your neighbors regarding traffic complaints
on and around Washington Street, I have directed Sergeant Roger Stephenson of the
Department's Traffic Division to monitor vehicular movement in the area and take the
appropriate enforcement action.
In reference to your concerns of delivery trucks driving on Washington Street, we have
attempted to alleviate this by contacting several local businesses and asking them to
modify delivery routes. It should be noted that although Washington Street is not a
designated "truck route ", delivery type vehicles are not expressly prohibited from using
the street when it is a direct route between stops.
I would like to thank you for bringing this matter to our attention and we would appreciate
your comments regarding the impact and effectiveness of our efforts by contacting
Sergeant Roger Stephenson in the Traffic Division at (310) 322 -9114, ext. 301.
Sincerely,
Tim Grimmond

students, teachers, and visiting parents.
We continue to be concerned about the early arrival of some students. There is no
supervision before 8:15 in the morning. Students and their parents will receive one
warning when students are on campus early. If they are early again, they will need to go
to the detention area for supervision.
Please make a correction to your Holiday and Modified Day Schedule attached to last
week's Monday Messenger under the Minimum Day Schedule section. Please change
December 19 to December 16 and April 16 to April 14. Sorry for the inconvenience.

INTER - DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE
Apnl 24, 1995
To: Bellur Devaraj, City Engineer
From* John Ogden, Lieutenant Af
Subject Follow Up Traffic Committee Studies
This memorandum is to serve as follow -up to the City Council agenda item which was
heard on October 18, 1994 relating to a report by the Traffic Committee.
At that time, several issues were discussed relating to traffic surrounding the
Washington Street Park Several recommendations were made and implemented
while others have been monitored to assess direct impact on the area The following
are the results of that monitoring process and what the police department has done to
alleviate any nuisance in the area.
Item # 1. Truck traffic on Washington Street between Mariposa Ave. and Walnut
Street.
Members of the Traffic Division have contacted various businesses along the effected
corridor and have asked the business owners to have their delivery persons comply
with the posted truck routes. These businesses included the Hacienda Hotel, Stick n
Stein restaurant and the Mobil Mini -Mart. To date, there have been no violations
written relating to truck route violations although the monitoring continues. Shuttle
buses and vans are under the auspices of the P.U.C. and are exempt from truck route
enforcement.
Item # 5. "No Right Turn" sign for vehicles exiting the Stick and Stein restaurant to
access to Palm Ave. _
This was not installed per Council direction.
Item # 7. Center Street School Traffic
The Center Street School staff worked with police department representatives in
closing the circular driveway in front of the school This has alleviated to a degree the
traffic congestion in the area during pick -up times The police department has
proposed in the FY95/96 budget to increase the number of crossing guards from one
to two, with the additional guard posted at Palm and Center Streets.
12"
Item # 8. Speed Bumps and Undulations.
These are not an alternative at this time as these types of speed control devices are
not officially recognized by the state Department of Transportation Because
north /south traffic on Washington Street is controlled at each intersection by stop
signs, complaints of and citations for speeding in the area have been insignificant.
Item # 9. "Stop" sign and drunk driving violations.
Members of the police department have monitored the area for all types of traffic
violations on a periodic basis. This periodic monitoring of the area by both traffic and
patrol personnel has resulted in several traffic citations. During the month of October
1994 for instance, eighteen (18) citations were written for stop sign violations in the
immediate area Enforcement has been ongoing with citations continuing to be written
for stop signs, seatbelts and other Vehicle Code violations
In closing, the area does not appear to have a significant impact on the traffic or crime
patterns of the city in general Washington Street is a frequently used avenue by both
residents and non - residents as an alternative to Sepulveda Blvd From a law
enforcement standing, existing traffic patterns and flow cause no profound effect on
public safety in the immediate area.

Dear Bellur,
• I`JE0
APR 2 1 1995
ENaWNEERINp
In our effort to minimize our traffic problem that would be created by the
proposed carwash, residents on E. Palm met recently and voted to block off E
Palm near Sepulveda at the back exit of the Stick'N. Stein Restaurant
Residents signing this petition realize access may be limited in certain
instances, but are willing to sacrifice some convenience for the safety of the
neighborhood
We met with Charles DeDeurwaerder, land use planner, who counseled us on
how this could be done with minimal impact to the city
This expert has reviewed the traffic commission's recommendations and
determined that the street blockage can be consistent with the general plan, and
if properly designed can be accessed by street sweepers, will not impede proper
drainage, nor pose a nuisance to the abutting properties or emergency vehicles
The traffic impact on neighboring streets of Mariposa and Maple will be minimal
In the General Plan, E Palm is classified as a local street As a local street, and
not a through street, it does not effect the circulation element of the General
Plan ( see Master Plan of Streets, exhibit 3 -10 )
Section 21101 ( f ) of the State Vehicle Code does not rp eclude a barrier on E
Palm Ave , because, again, this is a local street and does not effect the
circulation element The City currently has California blocked at Imperial, for
example
As we understand it, the purpose of a local street is to service people living on
that street Because it is not a throughway or a truck route, an amendment to
the General Plan would not be necessary
Regarding adequate turn - arounds for cut-de -sacs, a 40' diameter is the norm for
our city In our search, we have yet to find a 70' tum- around in El Segundo
Planning experts cite new -town plans ( Irvine, for example, ) as the exception
for incorporating 70' tum- arounds, as recommended by highway design guides
Access to multiple family residences on E Palm near Sepulveda will not be
eliminated if the barrier is designed properly
The neighborhood is preparing to submit a professionally designed barrier
drawing in the near future, for your inspection
Thank you for your attention to this matter As always, I will look forward to
hearing from you
Sincerely,
Annette Latshaw

CITY OF EL SEGUNDO
INTER - DEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM
DATE March 28, 1995
TO Laurie Jester
Senior Planner
FROM Bellur Devaraj
City Engineer
SUBJECT Conditional Use Permit 94 -6
639 North Sepulveda Boulevard
This memo is in response to the 3/22/95 letter to you from Mr. Thomas Ennis of N/S
Corporation regarding the subject project.
In November, 1994, two residents (Mrs. Annette Latshaw, 1547 East Palm Avenue and Mr
A.J. Neil, 729 Washington Street) informally approached the City Traffic Committee consisting
of myself and Sgt. Roger Stephenson of the Police Department, to inquire about the feasibility
of closing Palm Avenue for westbound traffic. According to these residents, the concept was
to install planter barriers across the north half of the Palm Avenue at a point west of Sepulveda
Boulevard.
The Committee discussed the following issues:
1. Palm Avenue has a forty-foot (40') right -of -way and thirty -foot (30') pavement
width.
2. In the General Plan, Palm Avenue is classified as a local street. Installation of
barricades to partially close the street may require a finding by the Planning
Commission that the closure is not inconsistent with the General Plan.
3. Section 21101 (f) of the State Vehicle Code provides authorization for local
authorities to prohibit entry to, or exit from, or both, from any street by islands,
barriers, etc., to implement the Circulation Element of the General Plan. The
Circulation Element of the current City General Plan does not include partial or
complete closure of Palm Avenue, west of Sepulveda Boulevard.
4. The City Fire Department requires a minimum twenty foot (20') clear roadway
for emergency vehicular access. The maximum width of the barrier can be ten
feet (10') for Palm Avenue. Parking should be prohibited a minimum fifty feet
(50') on both sides of a barrier to permit access, and there is a potential loss of
4 -5 street parking stalls.
-1of3-
133
Laurie Jester
Senior Planner
Conditional Use Permit 94-6
(continued)
5. There are several multiple family residences on Palm Avenue,
west of Sepulveda Boulevard. If the barricades are installed,
access to these residences from Sepulveda Boulevard will be
eliminated.
6. If the barriers are installed the traffic normally westbound on Palm
Avenue from Sepulveda Boulevard will use other adjacent east -
west streets, such as Mariposa Avenue or Maple Avenue, to access
the residential area west of Sepulveda Boulevard. The westbound
traffic on these streets and in particular on Mariposa and Maple
Avenues will increase and may result in residents on these streets
making similar requests to reduce westbound traffic on their
particular streets. The above diversion of traffic normally
westbound on Palm Avenue to Mariposa and Maple Avenues will
also result in increased traffic along Washington Street, between
Mariposa Avenue and Maple Avenue.
7. When the barriers are installed an area minimum two feet (2')
from the street gutter flow line should be left clear for street
drainage. This area, approximately twenty-five feet (25') on both
sides of the barrier (for a total fifty feet (50') of the gutter) is not
accessible for street sweepers, prone to clogging with leaves and
debris, impedes proper drainage and poses a nuisance to the
abutting properties.
S. If the barriers are installed, there will not be an adequate
turnaround for westbound vehicles from east of the barrier, which
are precluded from travelling west of the barrier. The lack of an
adequate turnaround will result in unsafe backup maneuvers and /or
turns into private property. Adequate turnarounds are generally
thirty -five feet (35') radius (70' diameter) and since the street
right -of -way is only forty feet (40'), this will require additional
right -of -way for construction.

Pursuant to the above discussions, the Traffic Committee recommended against the partial
closure of Palm Avenue and recommended that the concerns of the residents may be mitigated
by installing appropriate signage at driveways on Palm Avenue properties, east of the residential
area, prohibiting westbound travel from vehicles exiting these driveways. These
recommendations were verbally conveyed to the two residents on 11/16/94. No further
communications have been received from the residents since this date.
The above recommendations by the Committee are still valid.
Two additional comments are as follows:
1. Palm Avenue westbound traffic from the subject project can be
eliminated by providing access to the project only from Sepulveda
Boulevard (eliminate any driveway at Palm Avenue).
2. The installation of the barrier will force traffic northbound on
Sepulveda Boulevard from the properties between the barrier and
Sepulveda Boulevard to travel east on Palm Avenue and to make
a left turn at the unsignalized Palm Avenue / Sepulveda Boulevard
intersection. This situation may warrant installation of a traffic
signal at this intersection pursuant to approval by Caltrans which
has jurisdiction over this intersection.
The Traffic Committee is an advisory committee made up from staff of the City Police and
Public Works Departments. Recommendations from the Committee may be appealed to the City
Council for a final decision on the particular traffic matter.

Re: New Legislation
Dear Ms. Jester,
RECEIVED
APR 19 1995
PLANNING G BUILDING
SAFETY DEPAGTAIENT
This letter is in reply to your request for clarification of Sections 23958 and 23958.4 of
the Business and Professions Code. The cited sections involve the city with the issuance
of ABC licenses.
Section 23958 was amended to give the Department authority to deny an application
for a license if issuance would create a law enforcement problem, or add to an undue
concentration of licenses as defined by Section 23958.4. The later section simply defined
the manner of establishing a law enforcement problem and undue concentration of
licenses within a particular area. Furthermore, the later section is confined to an
application for original and/or premises to premises transfer only The transfer of
ownership or the issuance of a one -day license is not within the purview of Section
23958.4.
There was also confusion with the timing of theses sections and a request from the
Special Olympics to obtain a one -day license in your city. Typically, this agency does not
refer the issuance of these types of licenses to the municipality However, I requested the
organization to get clearance from your police department because they intended to
conduct a "Casino Night ". It is our policy to have these particular types of events cleared
by the policing agency to eliminate conflicts with local gambling ordinances. The
issuance of a one -day license alone does not require this PD clearance
I hope that this letter clarifies a few issues for you. Please feel free to call me if you
have additional questions
Sincerely
Edward imiaga
District Administrator
