Commissioner Campos reported that the Architectural Review Committee met with the staff and applicant. The committee was going, to recommend a continuance of this item due to the fact that the revised plans were received late and the appropriate City Departments were not able to review them. The committee did, however, request that the staff try to route the plans for this item to the other departments for review before the meeting began. The staff did this and have submitted an addendum for the Commission's review. Mr. Kee explained that the staff recommends approval of the Use Permit, subject to the following two conditions: 1. Site and Architectural approval of Site Plans and building elevations by the Planning Commission. 2. Use Permit to expire one year from date of approval unless project is under construction. Commissioner Hebard stated that this was a public hearing and that the people in the audience might want to hear more about the noise report. Mr. Kee stated that the noise report was only received at noon on Monday and the staff was not able to prepare a s,immary for the Commission. He went on to say that the staff coulc not foresee any major problems in this area. If the Commission feels that a summary of this repor' is necessary, a continuance can be recommended until a summary can be made to present to the Commission. Commissioner Vierhus suggested that this item be continued to the next meeting until a summary of the noise report can be presented. Some discussion was held center..ng around whether a continuance would be needed to acquire new information in order to make a decision at this time. Chairman Dickson asked if the applicant could give a description of his project to the Commission. Mr. William Whitney, applicant, exnlained that the area will be used to provide a skateboard park for controlled skateboarding. He presented a set of plans for the Commission's review and explained the layout. The park is set up so that it will hold 100 skaters at one time. -3- Chairman Dic:kson declaimed the public hearing open and asked if anyone in tt,e audience would like to speak on this item. Mr. Ken Burns, 3200 Pavne Avenue, appeared before the Commission to speak in favor of the skateboard park. He explained that there are approximately two million youngsters around the Santa Clara Valley that are riding skateboards and that this activity is banned on streets and sidewalks in most cities. He talked about the popularity of the sport and the need ` r a controlled area to ride skat,:, ,oards. Chairman Dickson asked Mr. Burns about the noise factor for residents along the outskirts of the park. Mr. Burns stated that the only noise that would be bothersome would be if the park played music over a PA system. Mr. Whitney stated that the park will not be playing music for the skateboarders. At this time the Commission took a short break. The meeting was reconvened at 8:05 p.m. Commissioner Vierhus moved that the public hearing be closed. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Samuelson and unanimously adopted. Chairman Dickson raised the question whether or not a sound barrier is included on the plans and if so, will it be a six foot high wall. Mr. Kee stated that this is the reason that "ite and Architectural approval is being conditioned so that these kinds of matters can be discussed when the plans are reviewed. Chairman Dickson asked if the noise factor is compatible with the provisions in the City's General Plan. Mr. Kee said that it is compatible with the General Plan ane asked Senior Planner Phil Stafford to respond in greater detail. Mr. Stafford presented the Noise Element maps of the General Plan and explained the requirements related to this item. Chairman Dickson reminded the Commission that action is being taken on the Use Permit and that the plans will be referred back at a later time. Commissioner Hebard expressed concern that there are few such parks in this area and that Campbell will be an experimental city. He mentioned that we have no other sources to help us determine possible future problems and expressed the opinion that r..aybe Campbell should wait until such parks are built in other cities. Commissioners Vierhus, Campos, and Samuelson agreed that such action would not be necessary; someone has to be first. Commissioner Samuelson stated that this park should not be treated any different than any other new recreational area built within the City of Campbell (he gave the example of children's putting courses). Mr. Kee said that the only problem that he could foresee would be with a PA system for music and the applicant has already addressed this matter. RESOLUTION NO. 1637 Commissioner Vierhus moved that the Planning Coiunission adopt a Resclutinr annroving UP 7/-11, application of William E. Whitney, subject to the recommended conditions, seconded by Commissioner Campos and adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: Campos, Vierhus, Samuelson, Dickson.

NV consider evidence on t consideration of the .�� application of Mr. William E. Whitney for a use permit to allow construction of a skateboard park on property knasn as 2155 S. Bascom in a C-2-S (General Commercial) Zoning District. Commissioner Vierhus reported that the Architectural Review Committee met with the staff and applicant, and after reviewing the plans recommends a continuance; however, he felt that there might be possible discussion now on some of the items addressing the Plans. 5 L_ � . els 01� Mr. Kee located the subject property on the map, noting that the applicant would be making some landscape changes. Chairman Dickson read into the record a memorandum to him from Ken Podgorsek, Chairman of the Youth Advisory Comr.,ission (dated August 15, 1977) regarding the skateboard park proposal. Chairman Dickson declared the public hearing open and asked if anyone wished to speak for or against thr_ application. Messrs. Bill Whitney, Mike Phelan and Dick Lerner, representing the applicant, appeared before the Commission. They described the project and apoke of other similar skateboard parks in the state, and answered questions of the Commissioners. Mrs. Munk, 155 Michael Drive, appeared before the Commission expressing her concerns about the noise and lighting effects of the project. Mr. Lennen extended an invitation to Mrs. Munk and the Commissioners to visit a skateboard park in the area in order to see some of the effects. Chris Lenan, a skateboarder from Reawood City, appeared before the Commission to explain the safety of the sport and speak in favor of the project. Commissioner Pack indicated that she is in favor of the park. Commissioner Hebard stated that this kind of a use has inherent damages causing injuries. He asked whether it would be appropriate under the circumstances as one of the conditions that it might be required to have the applicant provide liability insurance. City Attorney Dempster replied that there is no evidence that it is any more dangerous than operating any other (swimming pool, race car track, etc.) private enterprise cover by a use permit. It would be between the individual and the facility if something should occur, not the City. Commissioner Vierhus asked whether the City would be responsible for the design of the skateboard park isafety). Attorney Dempster replied that in respect to private enterprise, the City is not responsible for how they bu'ld a certain ride. Commissioner Pack moved for continuance subject to the condition that the concerns raised by staff and Site Review Committee could be discussed and brought back to the Commission., including staff report and site plan, landscaping, and a sound report. Motion seconded by Commissioner Vierhus. Commissioners Lubockis and Hebard indicated they would like names and addressed of parks in the area.

E. Mr. William E. Whitney for a use permit to allow construction of a skateboard park on property known as 2155 S. Bascom in a C-2-S (General Commercial) Zoning District. STAFF RECOP.MENDATION: Continuance in order that revised plans and elevations may be submitted. STAFF DISCUSSION: The applicant is proposing to construct a skateboard park on approximately 1.7 acres. The site is bounded by a trailer sales operation (Baker Trailers) to the North, Bascom Avenue, to the East, a commercial building (Color Rite Paint), and single family residences to the. South and apartments to the West. The single family residences on the Sough side are indicated for high density residential on the General Plan. The site reflects a 2300 square foot building oriented to Bascom Avenue, as well as 40 parking spaces near the front of the parcel. The skateboard area is oriented towards the rear of the property with a setbacl: of approximately 12 feet away from the northerly property line and 10' from the rear property line. A staff review of the site indicates that the site plan does not accurately reflect the existing trees as indicated on the plans. There is a ten foot landscaped area between the existing apartments to the rear but no setback to the existing single family to the south. The proposed building is indicated as being five feet from the Bascom Avenue property line, which in the staff's opinion, is much too close. Landscaping on the site is minimal and not well- defined in area. The Architectural Advisor is of the opinion that the site reflects movement and excitement, but the building lacks imagination. There is no data on the plans that would indicate assurance chat sound generated from the site would not be ob;ectionable to the residential areas abbuting the proposed park. The only fencing shown on the plans is the existing fencing around the site which in many instances is delapidated. A copy of a sound study done by a Homeowners Association in the Town of Irvine is attached for the Commissions review. it is the staff's opinion that this application should be continued in order that more complete site plans can be presented that reflect the previously mentioned concerns. Additionally the building should be revised in order to present a more acceptable appearance. Finally, a sound report should be prepared that speaks directly to this site, how it will affect adjoining properties, and types of mitigating measures that should be employed into the site design. Item N3 UP 77-I1 - Whitney, W. E. - Continued It should be noted that under the Use Permit procedure hours of operation can be stipulated and/or modified thru the Public Hearing process to help insure the welfare of the community. the applicant, on his own initiative, has presented this skateboard park proposal to the Youth Advisory Commission and the Park and Recreation Commission. A memorandum, from the Youth Commission to the -hairman of the Planning Commission is attached. MEMORANDUM r0� L CITY' OF CAMPBELL To: J. DUWAYNE DICKSON, Da,e: AUGUST 1S, 1977 CHAIRMAN, PLANNING COMMISSION From: KEN FODGORSEK *�V— CHAIRh1AN, YOUTH ADVISORY COMMISSION Subject: SKATEBOARD PARK PROPOSAL ----------------------------------------------------------- Mr. Mike Phelan of Concrete Curl Inc., appeared before the Youth .Advisory Commission at their August 15th meeting and presented his proposed Skateboard Park for 2155 S. Bascom Avenue. The Commission unanimously approved Mr. Phelan's project and strongly support this development for the City of Campbell. In recent months petition.3 from citizens for Skateboard Parks have come to the attention of the Youth Commission and the Commission feels that the park proposed will help to meet the needs of the youth in Campbell who skateboard. Skateboarding's increasing in popularity as a recreation activity for youth and adults and the need for a safe place for people to skate is becoming more important. Since the proposed park is a private development, the City will not have to worry about spending tax dollars on a park. The Commission would appreciate being informed of the progress of Mr. Phelan's project as it comes before the Planning Commission and City Council. Please contact me if you have any questions reR,rding the Youth Commission position on this project. ah L.C.

Mr. Kee advised that the conditions were met but that the fence between Mr. Clark's property and the Skateboard Park had been torn down. It has now been repaired.

Mr. Kee noted that this letter had been addressed to the City Counc'I and that before any action is taken by the Planning Commission, the Council should have the opportunity to review this letter and possibly refer it formally to the Commission. He stated that upon numerous complaints, the staff had been in con- tact with the property owner regarding the fence several times.

MARCH is, Staff Report Staff report on the Campbell Skateboard Park located on property kno•m as 2155 S. Bascom Avenue in a C-2-S (rererai Commercial) Zonin, District. Mr. Kee reported that on February 19, 1980 the Commission considered a letter from Mr. Dave Brady which listed reasons why, in his opinion, the owners/ operators of the Campbell Skateboard Park are not adequately maintaining and supervising their facilities. A copy of this letter is attached hereto and made a p., f these minutes. This item was continued in order that staff could r,:vit 1r. Brady's complaints, and it order that both Mr. Brady and representatives of the s!cateboard part: could be present at the Commission meeting. Inspection of the property revealed that the pool areas are clean. The ormer of the park has submitted a letter which answers !'r. Brady's concerns (a copy of which is also attached). Staff is concerned with the applicant's expansion of the skateboard facilities to include bicycles. I'` the Commission determines that bicycles should be allowed on these facilities, staff is of the opinion that the use permit should be reviewed and modified. Acting Chairman Kasolas inquired if the City Attorney could review with the Commission the procedures and findings in order to make a determination that a reopening of a public hearin% might be in order to consider revocation of the use permit. City Attorney Dempster reviewed with the Commission findings that could be considered, i.e., detrimental to the health, safety, welfare... of the neighborhood. He noted, however, that in this case the first two items mentioned in Mr. Brady's letter involve safety. he felt it mould not be in the best interest of the Commission to get into regulations of safety. After further discussion, Commissioner !leyer moved that the Planning Commission determine that there is no need for a public hearing to consider modifications of the use permit for the skateboard part; located at 2155 S. Bascom Avenue. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Kotowski. Comissioner Fairbanks expressed her concern about safety and the use of bicycles at the site. -6- Vote on Motion AYES: Commissioners: Pack, Meyer, Kotowski, Kasolas NOES: Commissioners: Fairbanks ABSENT: Commissioners: Dickson, Campos . a . _ �J 7 1^ February 6, 196G it,, Rick Schneider Carabell Planning Corms ssion Ca -.bell, California Dear Mr. Schneider, I would like to make a formal complaint against Carpbell Skateboard Park at 2155 South Bascom Avenue for violation of their Use Permit. The executive management has failed to maintain a standard of safety that should enhance an atmosphere of logical progression and con^on sense. I feel the Car.pbell Skate Park management is negligent in the following areas. 1, The park (riding surface) is not clean. Dirt, litter, and water about the park endangers the skater's ability to maintain proper balance and injury could occur. 2. Requirement of helms t, elbow, and knee pads is not strictly enforced. 3. Only one employee will be present at the facility. That employee's responsibility is to stay inside the building, take admissions, and run the pro shop. This leaves the main activity area unattended, as a result a serious injury could be over looked. I am asking that the City of Campbell investigate and take action to correct the problems that exist at this park. Thank you for your attention to this request.

Bascom Avenue Ladies and Gentlemen of the Planning Commission: I am David G, Kenyon, president of Concrete Curl, Inc., which is the owner of Campbell Skateboard Park. I attended the Commission's meeting on February 19 with the manager of Campbell Skateboard Park, Kathy Bridenbaugh, and a former officer of the corporation, Gary Fishburn, Because of time constraints and the desire of the Commission to make a further study before discussion of the issues, we were not given the oppertunity to discuss the issues presented to the Commission in Mr. B.-rdy's letter of February 6, I received notice of the hearing and Mr. Brady's letter on the morning of February 19, the day scheduled for the hearing and was, therefore, unable to prepare a written response prior to the hearing. In view of the time constraints of your meetings and in courtesy to the other participants, I felt a written response would be less burdensomeon you. Upon learning of the impending meeting, my assistant went to the planning staff to find out what this was all about. We found that when the planning staff member visited the skatepark, it was closed. There were approximately twenty bicyclers and skateboarders trespassing. Some were riding in the park without safety equipment. Campbell Skatepark's management has tried everything reasonably possible to keep the children out of the park when closed, but to no avail. We have in the last month (notably before we received notice of any complaint to the commission) repaired and strengthened the fencing. Our wire fences have repeatedly been cut. During the life of the park we have spent in excess of $3,500 on repairing fences although not entirely responsible, therefore, to keep peace with the neighbors and this commission. We have on several occasions ' 1 QC Planning Commission -2- February 20, 1980 called the Campbell Police Department and asked to have patrol cars stop by when the park is closed, so that the kids will not come in. We know of only one response to our requests, and this occurred several weeks ago. On that occasion the patrol car came by about 1y hours after our call wherein we reported several trespassers who would not leave despite instructions from the manager to do so. By the time the patrol car arrived some 1y hours later, the trespassers had left, and the officer tried to evict the skatepark staff who were cleaning the runs. We had last week come to the conclusion that the skatepark must remain open at all times that school is out in order to ensure that no one is hurt while the park is closed and unsupervised. Since the park was examined by the staff, the fences have been repaired, the runs cleaned and the run with water in it, pumped out. The parks maintenance man was ill for a time and the park had fallen below the standards that we maintain. But, all of our action was before any notification of the planning commission's involvement. I would like to point out that our park has a very good safety record. By comparison, we have far fewer and less serious injuries than our nearest competitors while enjoying much greater patronage. Many months ago, we considered allowing bicyclists in the skatepark, but before doing so, tripled our supervisory staff durinq the trial period. We have yet, to my knowledge, had a single notable injury involving a bicycle or bicycle and skateboarder. I believe the lack of injuries is due in larqe part to the design of our park. We have fewer rough spots in the park than Winchester skatepark, and have fewer bi-directional traffic advanced runs. Most of our runs are uni-directional by desian. As I pointed out at the Commission meeting on the 19th, Mr. Brady is a co -manager of the Winchester Skatepark. In the past, Mr. Brady and I have had our differences. Our last discussion was about the points that he brings up in his letter, plus an additional point which he emphasized in our discussion, but failed to put before you. He feels our "lack of supervision" allows many skaters to enter our park without paying. This in turn causes a reduction in his business. I did suggest to Mr. Brady in that discussion that if he were to suspend skaters from his park for two weeks for breaking our rules and vice versa perhaps we would have far greater control and would be able to enforce the safety rules better. He refused. It seems monetary motives, not safety, are his real concern. I find it interesting he did not indicate his managerial position with our competitor in his complaint. Planning Commission -3- February 20, 1980 1. Campbell Skatepark, before we were aware of this complaint, cleaned the surfaces of the park. 2. Campbell Skatepark does enforce to the best of its ability, the requirement that skaters wear knee pads, elbow pads, and helmets. 3. Campbell Skatepark has a far better safety record than our competitors. 4. Generally, two employees are on duty at all times the park is open. This has been a park policy since approximately February 12. 5. If the use permit for this park were revoked, a completely unsupervised facility would exist which would, therefore, be dangerous. Thank you for your consideration. I intend to be present at the hearing where this will again be considered. Respectfully, David G. Kenyon / President Concrete Curl, Inc.

DISCUSSION On February 6, 1980 Mr. Dave Brady submitted the attached letter listing three reasons why in his opinion the owners/operators of the Campbell Skateboard Park are not adequately maintaining and supervising their facilities. Subsequent to receiving Mr. Brady's letter, staff has inspected this park, and verified fir. Brady's statements. In addition, staff observed several patrons riding bicycles in the skateboard pools. Staff has received complaints from the surrounding residents that the patrons of the park are entering/leaving through their yards rather than the park entrance. ` The owners of the skateboard park as well as Mr. Brady have been sent a copy of this staff report, and advised of the date and time of the Planning Commission meeting. After hearing evidence on this matter, the Commission may determine that the problem has been resolved and that no further action is necessary. If, on the other hand, the Commission determines that a public hearing is warranted, staff should be directed accordingly. ,..,. `A J ..

UP 77-11 After hearing the evidence presented, that the Commission make a determination as to the need for a public hearing to consider modification or revocat;on of the use permit for the subject skateboard park. DISCUSSION On February 6, 1980 Mr. Dave Brady submitted the attached letter listing three reasons why in his opinion the owners/operators of the Campbell Skateboard Park are not a]equately maintaining and supervising their facilities. Subsequent to receiving Mr. Brady's lette^, staff has inspected this park, and verified Mr. Brady's statements. In addition, staff observed several patrons riding bicycles in the skateboard pools. Staff has received complaints from the surrounding residents that the patrons of the park are entering/leaving through their yards rather than the park entrance. The owners of the skateboard park as well as Mr. Brady have been sent a copy of this staff report, and advised of the date and time of the Planning Commission meeting. After hearing evidence on this matter, the Commission may determine that the problem has been resolved and that no further action is necessary. If, on the other hand, the Commission determines that a public hearing is warranted, staff should be directed accordingly. i I "on I February 6, 1980 Mr, Rick Schneider Campbell Planning Commission Campbell, California Dear Mr. Schneider, I would like to make a formal complaint against Campbell Skateboard Park at 2155 South Bascom Avenue for violation of their Use Permit. The executive management has failed to maintain a standard of safety that should enhance an atmosphere of logical progression and common sense. I feel the Campbell Skate Park management is negligent in the following areas. 1. The park (riding surface) is not clean. Dirt, litter, and water about the park endangers the skater's ability to maintain proper balance and injury could occur. 2. Requirement of helme t, elbow, and knee pads is not strictly enforced. 3. Only one employee will be present at the facility. That employee's responsibility is to stay inside the building, take admissions, and run the pro shoo. This leaves the main activity area unattended, as a result a serious injury could be over looked. I am asking that the City of Campbell investigate and take action to correct the problems that exist at this park. Thank you for your attention to this request.

Honorable City Council Date: January 24, 1979 From: Planning Commission '711-a CITY OF CAMPBELI Subject: Council Referral - Letter from Mr. Harold Clark requesting revocation of Use Permit - Skateboard Park, 2155 S. Bascom Avenue. RECOMMENDATION That no action -e taken to initiate proceedings for revocation of the Use Permit for the subject skateboard park. DISCUSSION On November 6, 1978, Mr. Harold Clark addressed a letter tc the City Council requesting a public hearing to consider revocation of the use permit for a skateboard park located at 2155 South Bascom Avenue. Mr. Clark cited three reasons in his letter (attached) as justification for this request. In addition, several photographs were submitted which showed sections of damaged fencing between Mr. Clark's apartments and the park. The staff conducted a field investigation of the site on December 27, 1978. At that time, it was apparent that some action with regard to the fencing had been taken since the time Mr. Clark wrote his letter. The fencing was, for the most part, in good repair. In addition, a section of chain link fencing had been attached to the skateboard park side of the redwood fencing. Lastly, several strands of barbed wire were attached by brackets to the top of the redwood fence. At its meeting of January 16, 1979, the Planning Commission was advised that the parties involved had reached an agreement regarding the problem. For this reason, the Commission did not initiate any proceedings for revocation of the Campbell Skateboard Park's Use Permit. PJS/Id --on P.0 MEETING JANUARY 16, 1979 MISCELLANEOUS Continued City COuncil Referral - Letter from Mr. Harold Clark Continued City Council referral reg.rding the request of Mr. Harold Clark for a public hearing to consider revocation of the use permit for thr skateboard park at 2155 South Bascom Avenue. Chairman Samuelson noted that since the fence problem between the skateboard park owners and the adjacent residents had been resolved, it was requested that this item be moved up on the agenda. Mr. Dave Kenyon, one of the owners of the skateboard park, explained that the problem of the fence has been worked out; he has agreed to keep and maintain the fence in good repair and that meets with the property owners' approval. Mr. Harold Clark appeared before the Commission to state that he felt this was a good example where fences between commercial developments and residential developments should be other than just wooden fences. The City Attorney noted that this problem had been resolved and no further action needed to be taken. Mr. Kee stated that staff would rel.,rt back to the Council on how this matter had been resolved. e • � /11TEM NO.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION After hearing additional evidence presented, that the Commission make a determination as to the need for a public hearing to consider revocation of the use permit for the subject skateboard park. STAFF DISCUSSION This item was continued from the last regular meeting of the Planning Commission in order that the concerned parties could meet to try and arrive at a mutually acceptable solution. Staff was not requested to be involved in any of said meetings, and therefore is not aware if a solution has been reached. A verbal report will be presented at the Planning Commission meeting. P.L. MEETING 1/2/79 Referral from Letter from Mr. Harold Clark, dated November 6, City Council 1978, regarding Campbell Skateboard Park. t Campbell Skateboard Park Itr. Kee requested that the Commission listen to the presentation and comments from people in the audience before opening up proceedings for revocation of the Use Permit for the Campbell Skateboard Park. Mr. Kee stated he had reviewed Mr. Clark's letter, and that steps have been taken by the skateboard park to keep children from cutting through the adjoining properties; the fencino has been repaired; and a chain link fence has been installed inside the wooden fence. He further stated that the six-foot chain link fence does not run the full length of the adjoining property -- only in the immediate problem areas. Mr. Harold Clark stated that he was required to put up a good -neighbor fence upon the purchase of his property, and the skateboard park was not required to put up a fence since there was an existing one when the park was built. The problem with the deterioration of the wood fencing belonging to Mr. Clark comes from the skateboards coming up the concrete embankments and going through the board fence with qreat force. He stated that the current repair solution of the park involves attaching a four -foot chain link fence to his existing wood fence, then putting barbed wire atop his wooden fence. It was his feeling the park should be required to put up a separate chain link fence adjacent to his fence. Mr. Dempster, City Attorney, questioned the location of the fence. He stated that if the fence Is on the prcperty line, then the fence belongs to both parties, no matter who erected the fence. Mr. Clark reported that, during a meeting with Mr. Powell, he and the representative from the skateboard park had agreed the park would construct a self-supporting chain link fence next to Mr. Clark's fence. Mr. Kee indicated Oct when the park was issued a building permit, they were required to fence the area, but a certain type of fencing was not specified. Wood fencing was indicated on the plans, and accepted by the Commission. Commissioner Pack felt that if a certain type of fencing was prcmised tc Mr. Clark during a meeting with the skateboard park, then thaL type of fencing should be built. Mrs. Ennid Monk, manager of apartments behind the skateboard park, appeared to inform the Commission of the problems she was having on her section of the fence. She stated that tenants of the apartments she manages are unhappy with the slamming of the skateboards aginst the fence, and that skateboards have flown over the fence a few times. Lhe also stated that additional dirt has been banked against the wood fence and is causing the fence to bow. It is her desire to see the wood fence restored to its original good condition. She stated that she was very unhappy with the mended nature of the fence as It Is now. J --,4, ; F OWN eN -9- Mr. David K:anyon, Manager of the Campbell Skateboard Park, appeared to report to tie Commission. It was Mr. Kenyon's feeling that the park had rectifi'ad the proolems in accordance with ideas presented by Mr. Bruce Powell. He stated that the park did, however, make a few changes in Mr. Powell's suggestions. intending to save money. He stated that the park had used bulkheads in the ground, replaced rails of the wooden fence with heavier ones, attached 2"x4"'s to the existing posts, and installed chain link fencing. He stated that if one were to throw their full weight against the chain link, one could not touch the wooden fence of Mr. Clark's. Mr. Kenyon felt that although they have not been able to completely stop the traffic of children cutting through the property, they have slowed it down as much as they can. He said the current repair solution has been up about a month with no new problems as far as he could see. All the slatted boards of Mr. Clark's fence have been replaced where needed. The Commissicn asked if the noise from the park was a nuisance to the residents behind the park. Mr. Kenyon stated that a noise study was done prior to building, and this type of activity was not found to be excessively noisy. Commissioner Dickson stated that if the park had responded to the problem earlier, a Ir.t of time and bad feelings could have been spared. Mr. Kenyon apologized to the Commiss'on. He further stated that Oe chain link fence is the same height as the wooden fence with the addition of 3 strands of barbed wire on top of the fence to further deflect any skateboards. Mrs. Monk stated thatshe had not seen any chain link fencing on the other side of the wooden fence, and repeated her appeal for a suitable repair job on the existing fence. It was suggested by the Commission that Mr. Kenyor give Mrs. Monk a tour of his side of the fence and she do likewise. Mr. Kee stated that the staff could take pictures of the area in question if the Commission would like. The Commission felt that this was not necessary. Mr. Kenyon further invited the Commission to come to the park and see the fencing in question. Mr. Kee stated that he would be happy to meet with all the parties involved to work for an amicable solut!on, which he thought had been attained. Commissioner Kasolas suggested a two -week continuance of this item, which would allow time for the involved parties to meet and try to resolve any further problems. It was moved by Comm�ssioner Kasolas,and seconded by Commissioner Pack that the referral from the City Council regarding the Campbell Skateboard Park be continued until the regular meeting of January 16, 1979• This motion was unanimous!y adopted. } + rt ITEM N0. 5 STAFF COMMENT SHEET - PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF JANUAR'Y 2, 1979 City Council Referral City Council referral regarding the request of Letter from Mr. Harold Clark for a public hearing to consider Mr. Harold Clark revocation of the use permit for the skateboard park at 2155 South Bascom Avenue.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Use Permit, subject to the followirg conditions: 1. Site and Architectural approval of Site Plans and building elevations by the Planning Commission. 2. Use Permit to expire one year from date of approval unless project is under construction. i STAFF DISCUSSION: At the Site and Architectural Review Meeting this morning, staff was U requested to prepare an addendum to the agenda that would address Oe / revised plans as received on September 19, 1977• The applicant has (i submitted z� sound study, revised building elevations and a revised Site Plan. It is the staff's interpretation of the sound study that the pro- posed park would not be a significant contributor of noise in the general area. Proper fencing to the South along the residences and to J the rear along the apartments would provide for adequate sound attenuation. The revised building elevations were reviewed by the Architectural Advisor at the Site Review Meeting. It was his opinion that the revised elevations as presented did not reflect an acceptable design for the site and the surrounding area. He felt that revised elevations should be prepared for a more consistent architectural design. The building setback has been changed from five feet to ten feet. The revised Site Plar, is not drawn to scale, but the skateboard area is indicated as being shifted seven feet to the north which would provide a ten foot setback on both the north and south sides. Landscape areas are still not clearly defined and existing tree locations are not accurately shown on the plans. No fence detail is shown for the area bordering the single family residential. It is the staff's opinion that this is an appropriate location for a skate- board park. The major concerns of staff regarding the compatibility of this use with the surrounding area have been satisfactorily resolved. The subject area is within a site and architecturally controlled zone. The Planning Commission is charged, under Section 21.42.050 of the Campbell Municipal Code, that the proposed development will aid in the harmonious development of the immediate area. The staff cannot support this statement on the basis of the plans submitted. As a result staff is recommending approval of the Use Permit subject to Site and Architectural approval.

(a) Site Plan for Proposed Skateboard Park by Concrete Curl, Inc., So. Bascom Avenue, Campbell Dear Mr. Whitney: The noise study presented in this report contains an assessment of existing noise conditions on the proposed skateboard site including predictions of noise levels from use of the park. The prediction of future noise impacts is made from the results of on -site noise measurements and noise tests at an operating Skateboard park. To define the existing noise environment of the site, continuous 1 hour noise recordings were made during a daytime and evening hour. The recorded noise data was obtained during a peak traffic hour and a more quiet evening period. The on -site measurements provide baseline data from which future noise :t levels can be predicted.

Existing N.)ise Background Levels on the Proposed Site To quantitatively define the existing noise environment of the site along Bascom Avenue, measurements were made during the daytime and evening periods. Two recording hours were selected to represent a noisy daytime hour and a more quiet evening hour. The 2 recordings represent two extremes for the probable operating hours of the proposed park. Noise recordings were made at a location 300 feet west of Bascom Avenue represc-ting a midpoint position on the site. Recordings were taken during the daytime period from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The sound measurement and analyzing system included a Gen Rad Company Community Noise Analyzer, Type 1945. The noise levels were sensed by a calibrated microphone positioned S feet above ground elevation. The "A" weighting network avid the "Fast" response setting of the analyzer ware employed in compliance to standard practice for messuremc of urban ncise. The on -site noise levels were measured, stored and processed by the noise analyzer to yield a series of statistical noise descriptors. Included for each test run were the maximum, minimum, various L exceedance values and the energy -equivalent level (L,,q) as shown in Table I below: 2 - TABLE I Measured Noise Levels at the Proposed Bascom Avenue Site Near the South Property Line and 300 ft. from Bascom Avenue 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm Noise Levels (dBA) Max L10 L50 L90 Min Leq 71 62 S9 55 50 60 71 58 53 s0 47 S4 Included in Table I are the maximum, minimum, the LIO or "intrusive" levels, the LSO or "average" levels, the 1,90 or "background" levels and the energy -equivalent level (Leq). The Leq value represents the level of a steady noise which has the same energy as a given time -varying noise. A review of the level- shown in Table I indicates that the evening hour is 5 to 6 dBA quieter than the noisy peak traffic hour of 4:00-5:00 p.m. Thus, an assessment of the largest noise impact on the surroudning area can be made by utilizing the recorded evening data. II. Noise Level Data From an Operational Park To define the noise environment created by an operational skateborad park, noise recordings were taken at the Alameda Skateboard Park, 1815 Clement Avenue, .Alameda. Sound Level recordings were taken at 2 locations near the perimeter of the concrete surface of the skating area. The noise recording locations represented the 2 potentially noisiest positions 3 - around the perimeter. One location was adjacent to the main auto parking area and the second location was nearest to an elevated section of the park where skaters assembled to await their turn for the use of certrin runs. The recordings were made on September 10, 1977 between 11:45 a.m. and 12:45 p.m., during which time some 30 to 40 skaters were actively using the park. The following noise levels were measured during a peak use hour: TABLE II Measured Noise Levels Around the Perimeter of the Alameda Skateboard Park with 30-40 Skaters Noise Levels (dBA) Test Locations Max L10 L50 L90 Min Leq 30 ft. from North edge of concrete 74 58 52 44 45 55 30 ft. from South edge of concrete 75 57 s0 46 42 54 III. Prediction of Future Noise Impact Levels Noise impact levels from the proposed park can be predicted e from a comparison of the existing environment of the site against the noise levels created by an operating skateboard park. i 4 - To determine the worst -case impact, the quiet evening noise levels have been compared against the "noi.siest" period of an operating facility. Utilizing noise data from Tables I and II, the followine differen,;es are revealed: Prediction of Noise Impact Levels Noise Levels (dBA) Time Period Location Max L10 LSO L90 Min Leq 8:00 pm-9:00 pm Proposed Site 71 58 53 SO 47 54 11:45 am-12:45 pm Alameda Park 74 58 52 48 45 55 Evaluation of the data in Table III reveals a central location on the proposed site has an identical "intrusive" level (L10) as the Alameda Skateboard Park during cne of its busiest hours. The proposed site also has an "average" or L50 back- grcund that is 1 dBA more noisy than the Alameda Park. The "background" or L90 level of the site is 2 dBA above the noise background of the Alameda Park during a busy hour. An overall evaluation can be made of the various noise descriptor levels by comparing the energy -equivalent or LeQ values. Again by referring to Table III, the Leq for a busy skating hour compared to the evening period at the proposed site is 1 dBA above existing levels for the Bascom Avenue site. A 1 dBA difference is an insignificant and an unnoticeable difference. Generally, noise impact levels up to 6 dBA are considered to be of little significance and no complaints are usually =reated. 5 - J (' i TY OF C'AMPBELL 2155 S . BASCONI AVE. UP 77-1 1 2 Of 4 � I1 The above impact levels apply at a 30 ft. distance from the edge of the concrete surface of the park and under free space conditions. The existing redwood fence along part of the south and completely along the west property lines of the pro- posed site would provide an estimated 3-4 dBA of noise reduction at ground locations, but would not be effective at second floor elevations. The 6 ft. high chicken wire and chair, link fence segments along the south and north property line3 have no noise reduction benefit. However, as mentioned earlier in this report, the predicted noise levels at the residential properties located to the south and west c,f the site will experience an insignificant impact. If an effective 6 ft. high noise barrier wall is considered in lieu of the existing fences, a total of 4 to 6 dBA of noise attenuation benefit would be realized. Generally, a 3 dBA change in levels is a "just perceptible" difference, however, a noise reduction of 4 to 6 dBA is a noticeable improvement. For an acoustical barrier to be effective, it must be constructed as a solid, continuous surface with no openings or holes. All joints and connections with posts or pilasters must be made air -tight. No openings or gaps are permitted berween the barrier and ground below. The minimum surface density for noise barriers is 2 lbs. per sq. ft. During the noise recordings at the Alameda Skateboard Park, it was observed that very low level or inaudible sounds are created by the wheels on the concrete surface. The most common source of sounds were conversations between skaters at ordinary voice levels. As there was no audience present, applauding and shouting events did not occur. - 6 - I _ f Automobile traffic was observed to be minimal with an average of 12 cars in the parking lot during a peak use hour. Discussions with park personnel at Alameda revealed most skaters are under age 15 and do not drive cars. Review of the proposed park plan, Ref. (a), reveals an existing parking area for 40 cars would be utilized. As the parking area is adjacent to Bascom Avenue, traffic noise intrusion into adjacent properties should be minimal. During the noise tests at Alameda, a public-address system was used once for an announcement. At that time it was concluded that the use of a P.A. system could be the most annoying sound source. However, it is our understanding that no P.A. system will be installed at the proposed park and, therefore, no problems will be created from high-level announcements or playing of background music. From our field measurements, observations and analysis, it is concluded that very little noise is created from skate- boarding and that no noise problem is foreseen from controlled use of the proposed park.

Da to ) W 12 gna ure For �41_A g ' 1 of I pnrrn _l ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING # 33. Description of proposed site. 1 An existing p.rking lot 65 feet wide rnd 200 feet deep lies forw-rd ` censer to left of the proposed vecenit lot. There are six tree's upon the let, two dead which will have to be removed along with one other five foot walnut that lies within a portion t of the lot which will have a section of the track Ft that point. All remaining tree's will be used as continous landscaping. There are 30 foot pines spaning the entire length of the property line of Baker's Campers and the proposed lot. The forward left side of the lot has an existing five foot redwood slat farce running 266 feet down the property line. From that point on 30 foot pine's continue on to the back or West end of the lot. All other vegetation upon the project siteconsists of scattered wild oats and (oxtails with various milk weed species sc ttered throughout% At the back left aurrter sepment of the lot stands a dozen or more five- foot mounds of fill (clean) . The fill will be used to set the grrde of the lot to drain tr Bascom eve. The only existing anim�ls upon the lot are those that might find shelter under ground, such as a golfer or several species of insects and arthropods. In short the lot is void of any animal life of m-aor ecological concern. The topography of the project site is at a set level of = 191, at the top of the curb and t 192, throughout the iot. There once existed two homer , of which are now destroyed and long i removed. The lot or project site displr•,es no scenic value and holds no historical value. 0 Environmental Setting # 34 To the right of th= lot or north lies the Baker Camper com- mercial c-2-s lot running the entire length.'of the north property line. No set back is required along this section. The West or bask end of the lot h-s two unoccupied four plexes. A ten foot buffer or set back is required here. Fifteen gallon evergreens set fifteen feet from center will be,planted parallel to the existing eight foot redwood slit fence . These trees will provide the necessary visual barrier between the aprrtments and the skate- board park. Due to the fact that these=pertments are rt the brick end of the lot little if any human=ctivlty will take place in or about the ten foot set back zone. Along one half of the South or lift side if the lot r six foot redwood sl=t cyclon fence will seperet the 300 foot deep beck y%rds of the residentel single dwelling homes. No set back is required along the sides of residentel nd commercirl property. However we plan to place a 3-5 foot set back 1=ndsc-pe zone along this segment of the property line. The remaining length of the lot f)rw-rd from midpoint is cnmmer- cirl property fenced of by sin existing five foot redwood fencP.whicb is 1; ndsce ped. The entensity of the userge of the Bakers C=mpers"lot and thrt of the four plexes and Colorite pint store is minim 1 at all tires. The surrounding lot posses no historicrl of scenic vrlue thrt could be harmed by the userge we plrn for the land. In fect we feel that the SkateBorrd park will ^dd a gre-t derl of scenic be,uty to the area. I �A at 7 N UP 77-11 lu t AVE ilk: J) 14 1 11 I CTTY OF CAMPBELL 2155 S. BASCOM AVE.
