The City Council appropriated $417,700 for site improvements
at Arroyo Vista Community Park during FY 1994/95.
Since the opening of the park, and specifically since the
increased use of the gravel road and gravel parking lets
during the current soccer season, staff has recognized a need
to assuage the dust and dirt caused by vehicle traffic along
this road.
Staff has researched a feasible way to deter this problem.
There are two methods which would work in this case.
The first would be to do what's referred to as a "chip seal ".
This method involves laying down two layers of penetrating
oil and crushed rock. This method is similar to laying down
asphalt, although it is not as permanent. It would cost
approximately $14,000 and would last four to five years.
The second alternative would be to put down a penetrating oil
base. While this is will not last as long as the chip seal
(it lasts 2 to 3 years), it is less costly (roughly
$5,500.00) and is just as effective. Many rural and farm
properties with gravel and dirt driveways and access roads
use this method to contain the Just.
Neither method will control dust from vehicle traffic
completely, but both would substantially lessen the dust in
the air, which impairs vision when driving on the road, and
is a health hazard for those individuals playing sports at
the park near the road.
The penetrating oil base method would take about a week to
complete. Western Oil Spreading of Santa Paula is the only
company that does this type of work in the area, and upon
Council action, staff will contract with Western Oil
Spreading for the desired work product. Staff is

recommending that the City Council redirect $5,500.00 for
this road project from the previously appropriated funds for
this park. Staff will work toward trimming costs on the
other site improvement projects to cover this additional
project at Arroyo Vista Community Park.
Approve use of $5,500.00 from previously allocated (1994/95)
Park Improvement Funds for oil based treatment of gravel road
and parking lots at Arroyo Vista Community Park for FY
1994/95.
