It lS recommended that Council adopt the attacned Resolutlon conflrffilng the assessment of costs. Background On June 25, 1985, the C1ty CouncIl set a publlC hearing for July 23, 1985, for the assessment of costs to repa1r damaged s1.dewalks, drlveways and curbs on Robson Avenue ln the C1ty of Santa Monlca. Letters were maIled 1n advance (July 12, 1985) to property owners lnformlng them of the publlC hearlng In accordance wIth the legal requlrements of Cnapter 22 of the Improvement Act of 1911. Staff llIet wIth Mr. Charles Walker, a tenant on Robson Avenue who I presented hImself as an attorney representIng one property owner and I all of the resldents on propert~es frontIng the repalred areas. I I I Mr. Walker said the ma~n area of concern was that concrete pavement has been removed from some parkway areas resultlng in lncreased malntenance needs such as grass cuttIng and water~ng. It was also Mr. Walker's opInIon that partlal removal of the pavement was unattractlve. Staff offered to remove al'.l of the remaInIng pavement 7-A Jut 2 3 rgB) . . . . GS:SES:JAS:ct Councll Meeting: JUly 23, 1985 Santa Monica, CalIfornia from the parkways at no cost to the property owners. Mr. Walker saId he would meet wIth the Interested partIes to reach a consen- sus a~d ~wuld contact staff If necessary. The C1ty staff removed damaged sIdewalk and parkway area concrete and replaced only the sIdewalk, planting the parkways in confor- mance w1th the past practice of at least 20 years whereby park- ways in resIdential areas are requIred to be landscaped except for entry walks and drIveways. In commercIal areas, parkways are commonly paved. The subJect area IS a sIngle fam1ly resIdential area. Only the paved parkways WhiCh were damaged were removed. Budget/Financial Impact ThIS assessment dIstrict will generate revenues to the CIty over the next two years In the amount of $2,552.50 (Any unpaid as- sessments WIll be placed on the 1986 property tax bill). Recommendation It IS recommended the City CounCIl: 1 . Open the publiC hearing; 2. Close the publiC hearing and aCknowledge any protests; and 3 . Adopt the attached Resolut1on confirming the assessments.

Mayor Christ1.ne Reed C1.ty Hall 1685 Ma1.n Street Santa Mon1.ca, Ca 90401 '- Dear Mayor: As residents of Robson Avenue (we s t ) 1.n Santa Mon1.ea, we.protest the way the C1.ty has dec1.ded to redo the parkway in front of our homes. The roots of the trees l1.n1.ng our street had grown to the p01.nt that they pushed up most of the surround1.ng pavement. It was our understand1.ng that the City had agreed to come 1.n, take out the concrete, cut and remove the tree roots, then replace the cement. Instead, the cons tractor has removed the parkway and the C1.ty 1.5 fill1.ng 1.t 1.n w1.th d1.rt. It 1.S grossly unfa1.r to make home- owners pay for the C1.ty's neglectfulness. Had the trees been pruned regularly, the roots would not have grown large enough to cause r1.fts l.n the pavement, thus alleviat1.ng the need to have the street repa1.red l.n the first place. We do not want these ~neve~ tracts of d1.rt for walkways. Ne1.ther do we want lawn planted there, becom1.ng a burden to ma1.11ta1.n. We s1.mply want the parkway restored to 1.ts prev1.ous state; namely, that of a paved s1.dewalk. We submlt thls letter and pet1.t1.on of protest, and request that the concrete be replaced as stated l.n the letter sent. (Copy attached.) Your " prompt attent1.on to th1.s matter w1.ll be greatly appreclated. .
