STAFF REPORT
PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT NO. 87-14
Mayor and Common Council Meeting of November 16, 1987
1. Request
The City of San Bernardino Public Works Department
requests approval for the relocation of certain sanitary
sewer lines within the public right-of-way.
2. Location
The proposal is to relocate the sanitary sewer lines
extending northerly from Highland Avenue along Flores
Street generally following the proposed right-of-way of
Route 30, and also from 27th Street northerly on Patter-
son Way and "H" Street to 30th Street and west on 30th
Street from "H" Street to "I" Street.
3. ~~D~~21_~!2rr_~onf9~IDance
The project will not change any proposed land uses as
indicated on the General Plan. The work phase of the
project is expected to last about 40 working days. The
Public Works Department does not anticipate that it will
be necessary to re-route traffic during the construction
phase of the project.
4. ~~Q~_piatus
At its regularly scheduled meeting on September 24,
1987, the Environmental Review Committee recommended
adoption of a Negative Declaration for Public Works
Project No. 87-14 subject to the conditions listed
below.
5. Back.9.!"9!l!19
On September 8, 1987 the Common Council made the finding
that Public Works Project No. 87-14 is necessary to the
health and safety of the public.
6. Analvsis
Public Works Project No. 87-14 presents three factors
for consideration: The potential for significant
amounts of noise and dust, and the possibility of
creating traffic hazards or congestion.
Noise
The noise
the hours
provision
factor will be mitigated by limiting work to
between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. with the
that work will normally cease by 5:00 p.m. as

long as the project is proceeding on schedule. Noise
created by jackhammers breaking through the pavement in
preparation for trenching will generally occur earlier
in the day.
Dust
Regarding the creation of dust
hoods, City engineers state

that the project will
watering will mitigate
TJ:E-ffic Hazards
City engineers also indicate that the potential for
traffic hazards will be addressed by erecting barriers
and providing night lighting. Moreover, on any given
day workers will not begin any more trenching than they
can complete in one day. Of the streets or> which
substantial amounts of work will occur, all are small
local streets except for "H" Street, a secondary street,
and 30th Street, a collector street. Work will only
occur on two blocks of "H" street and on one block of
30th Street.
7. ~9mm~Dt~_B~~eived
The California Department of Transportation commented
that any work done in the Route 30 right of way would
require mitigation measures designed to preserve the
existing drainage pattern of the State highway as a
condition of permit issuance. Construction scheduling
must be coordinated with the Department of Transpor-
tation in the event of a conflict with construction of
the Route 30/215 Interchange.
8. Conclusion
The proposed project is not inconsistent with the Land
Use or Circulation elements of the General Plan in that
it will not change any proposed land uses nor will it
severly or permanently alter the pattern of traffic
circulation in the City. The project does not pose any
potential impacts which cannot be adequately mitigated
by a few simple measures: limiting the work hours,
watering to mitigate dust generation, the provision of
traffic barriers and night lighting, and pacing the work
so that no trenches will be allowed to remain open
overnight. The minor inconveniences caused by this
project will be of short duration and will be outweighed
by the benefits which it will provide.
