South Beltway and land acquisition costs.
(Wards 1,4,6,7)
At the July 7, 1993 Council meeting, a Councilmember requested
land acquisition costs for the South Beltwa¥:
The estimated land acquisition costs for the three alternative
routes included in the original Environmental Impact Report are as
follows:
Alt. #1 (Preferred) $ 8,994,580
Alt. #2 (Taft Hwy.) $ 36,556,592
Alt. #3 (DiGiorgio Rd.) $ 7,621,307
These costs have been recently updated and include the 210
foot right-of-way plus the interchanges at approximately 1 mile
intervals. The beltway is considered to extend from Weedpatch
Highway/Panama Lane to I-5 (See the attached map). For those
parcels in the proposed right-of-way known to have a structure on
them, a relocation benefit amount has been estimated.
The unit costs used to determine this cost estimate are based
on average current costs within the general area of the
alternatives for commercial, light and medium residential,
irrigated agricultural and permanent crop acreage.

RE: South Beltway Alternatives/Environmental Impact Report
Dear Mr. Brummett:
At the July 28, 1993 City Council meeting, the Council considered and adopted the attached
report from the Council's Urban Development Committee, regarding a Kern COG decision to
study a South Beltway alternative along Buena Vista Boulevard in addition to the three
alternatives which have been completed to date.
The Council further directed staff to communicate to your office a recommendation to not
pursue a study of the Buena Vista Boulevard alignment. This alignment does not serve the
growing south Bakersfield area as needed to implement the 2010 General Plan. To further
delay the long overdue completion of the SOuth Beltway Study and EIR in order to study an
alignment of questionable benefit, does not serve the interests of this community.
Please present our concern to your Board at the next available Board meeting.

URBAN DEVELOPMENT COMMITI'EE
REPORT NO. 2-93
-- July 28, 1993
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SUIKIECT: SOUTH BELTWAY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
On July 15, 1993 the Kern Council of Governments (Kern COG) chose not to certify
an EIR for the south beltway but instead directed the consultant to continue studying alternative
alignments. These alternative alignments range so far south as not to serve the' growing
neighborhoods of Bakersfield as needed to.implement the.2010 General Plan. A delay of at least
six months will further jeopardize our ability to acquire right-of-way for this transportation facility.
Evaluation of the far south alternatives should be considered as a part of proposals
to urbanize the areas soUth of Taft Highway, if and when they are brought forward. Our need is
to adopt a route to serve the' urban area north of Taft Highway.
The Urban Development Committee is Seriously disappointed in Kern COG's
decision.
It is recommended that staff be directed to develop options to encourage the raPid
conclusion to these studies to bring forward a proposed route for adoption.
Respectfully .submitted,
Cou,nci~ember Ran_dy l~owles, Chair

TO: Jack Hardisty, Planning Director
FROM: Jack Leonard, Asst. Building Director
DATE: July 30, 1993
SUBJECT: Building Department Policy Regarding Stop Work Orders
The Building Department rarely exercises the use of a stop work order. It is usually
issued only in extreme cases involving a contractor's (or owner's) blatant refusal to
comply with code requirements. A stop work order in this case would be issued by the
area Supervisor.
Building Inspectors are given authority to issue stop work orders, but are generally
restricted to those involving work performed without obtaining a proper permit. It is
important to stop work immediately if a permit has not been obtained. This is to prevent
the potential for improper construction which could lead to costly modifications. If an
Inspector issues a stop work order, they are required to report the order to their
Supervisor (and generally do by radio prior to issuance).
The Building Department respects the financial burden imposed to the owner (or builder)
in the use of stop work orders, and uses them in only extreme, well documented cases.
Stop work orders clearly define the specific Municipal or Building Code violation. If there
is a problem, our staff is available to the public to review, discuss, or interpret the
requirement in question.
i have polled my Supervisory and Inspection staff and within the last 12 months they
estimate approximately 4 to 5 stop work orders were issued related to "refused to
comply" and numerous stop work orders were issued related to "work without permit".
If you need additional information, or if there is a specific stop work order in question,
please contact me at Ext. 3790.
