( MINUTE ORDER NO . 69- 77 ) Councilman Arnett moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO . 5970 APPROVING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR PENINSULA PARKWAY - SECTION 1 AND BRIDGE PARKWAY - SECTION 1 ( 645 -4-46 ) FOR REDWOOD CITY GENERAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO , 1 -64 ; AND , AUTHORIZING CITY CLERK TO CALL FOR BIDS THEREFOR , seconded by Councilman Rosselli . Motion carried on roll call vote . City Manager reported on intended change in fencing in Redwood Shores and commented on the earlier report by Mr . Sue , landscape architectural consultant , wherein the type of fencing orginally planned was precast concrete . However , since that time , Staff has gone more thoroughly into the problems on this type fencing and concluded that the District could not economically provide funds for it , and had requested Mr . Sue to review and submit an alternate design . This has been studied by the Urban Design Committee , our Staff , DMJM and Leslie Properties . Recommended alter- native was a pressure -treated redwood fencing . 880r of fencing will be installed adjacent to parkways in Subdivision 1 to give completed appearance to first sub - division . Councilman Rosselli expressed unwillingness to accept the revised design , if cost was only factor , unless engineering and structural consideration , as well as dura - bility were involved , City Manager advised there was substantial difference in cost between the redwood and the concrete design , and additional cost involved in construction ; also , to keep precast concrete to a desirable minimum weight , it would be necessary to cut down on thickness . It was stated pressure - treated red- wood fence could be expected to last thirty years . Also , with the landscaping planned along the parkways , fence would be visible only in the initial stages , until growth of the plantings develops to the point where fencing would be ob - scured . Consideration was given these factors , and the difference per lineal foot between the precast concrete at $ 13 . 00 and the redwood at $ 8 . 00 . Mr . Sue showed sketch of the proposed fencing , advising it would be 6 feet in height , chemically treated to prevent rot , and advised structure would last for approximately as long as the dwelling . There was discussion concerning increas - ing lumber costs , and Mr . Sue responded this fence would still be the best buy for the money . APR 23 '69
