Background and Project Description

On

August 13, 2014, the Planning Commission reviewed options for replacing the asphalt

concrete sidewalks on the north and south side of Ocean Avenue near the Del Mar Parking

lot

with sand-set permeable concrete pavers. The Commission considered several options

for

the

shape, design layout, and color

of

the

pavers and approved the

use

of

8

by

4

pavers in a

medium grey color set in a running bond pattern with the long axis of the pavers running east

west (parallel

to the

road).

Subsequent to this approval, it was brought to staff s attention that the City Council, in their

consideration

of

this fiscal year s capital improvement projects tied

the

authorization of funds

for replacement

of

the asphalt sidewalks to the use

of

porous asphalt material.

As

such, staf f

is

bringing this item back to the Planning Commission for discussion of the suitability

of

using

porous asphalt instead

of

permeable pavers.

Staff Analysis

Porous Asphalt Option

Prior

to

the August 13, 2014 discussion

of

this item, staff had

researched using porous asphalt and noted several potential issues with its use

for

a sidewalk

along this lower segment of Ocean Avenue. In staffs opinion, the use

of

permeable pavers is

preferred, and the focus of the discussion at the last Commission meeting was finding a design

that

best reflected the aesthetics

of

the existing asphalt sidewalk. Staff

was

prepared to field

questions on why porous asphalt was not recommended; however, no such questions were

raised by the Commission

or

by

the

public.

Staff is prepared

to

discuss

the

pros and cons

of

porous asphalt in this application versus

permeable pavers. In short, the drawbacks of porous asphalt are as follows:

t

has a rough texture

that

may be incompatible with beach goers who are barefoot.

t tends to clog, particularly in a sandy environment, which leads

to

lower performance

and higher maintenance needs.

t can

slough off

and

discolor

the

surrounding area, which in this application

is

white

sand.

t

is more difficult and more expensive to maintain and repair.

The

main advantage

to

porous asphalt

is

that

it

would more closely match the existing

aesthetics of the existing asphalt concrete. Staff

can

present additional information on

installation cost differences at

the

meeting.

Alternatives

Staff continues to recommend the permeable paver option approved by the

Commission on August 13, 2014. f this option

is

reaffirmed, the City Council would need

to

explicitly allow this change

in

approving the funding

for

the project. Alternatively, the Planni

ng

Commission could approve the porous asphalt option. Either option would

be

consistent with

the

Del Mar Specific

Plan

and with the

Coastal

Conservancy's grant requirements. A third

alternative would be

to

leave the existing asphalt pavement sidewalk

as

it, in which

case

the

City would not proceed

with the

project, and would not need to spend any funds at this time

for

this project.

This

third alternative would likely in the loss

of

the 30,000 grant funding from

the

Coastal

Conservancy

as

well

as

15,000 in pending but held-back reimbursements

for

other

components of

the Del

Mar Parking Lot project that the City would be receiving from t he

Coastal

Conservancy.

Barbara Livingston provided an overview of the City Council s concern with

introduced another material to complicate the mix of materials in the beach area, and the

need for continuity of the existing nearby asphalt walkways. Seeing no other speakers,
