ARTICLE AND PHOTOS BY MARGARET THORNBERRY It’s a crisp morning at the Coyote Creek Field Station of the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory (SFBBO), and the staff is bundled up and ready to move out to put up mist nets. The nets are a fine mesh, nearly invisible, but flexible and fine enough so that when a bird flies into them, it is held safely, ready to be carefully removed by hand, placed into a small cloth bag to calm it, and tucked under a jacket or shirt to keep warm for the walk back to the station office. There it is weighed, measured, evaluated for health and either banded, or if already banded, logged, and then carefully released.

Local Man Grateful for Live-Saving Care at Washington Hospital Severe headache resulted in specialized brain hemorrhage surgery
Ricardo Munoz recently visited the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Washington Hospital. Munoz was not there as a patient, nor was he visiting anyone. He took the time to return to the place where he received life-saving care to thank the people who treated him. “I am very grateful for the care everyone gave me,” he says. One morning last May, Munoz woke up with inexplicable symptoms. “I got up, took a few steps and my neck got really stiff,” he describes. “A second or two later, I got a really bad headache. I’d never felt one like that before.” Munoz took an Advil, which didn’t ease his pain.

State forces approval of other than affordable housing Last fall, the State of California passed several laws that together are referred to as the Affordable Housing Bills. Generally, they are meant to expedite the construction of Affordable Housing projects for those of moderate income or below. Projects that conform to the objective standards set by a city, and that have no health and safety concerns, must not be denied nor have conditions placed upon them that would lower the density or make them financially infeasible to build. The penalties set by the State are very high. Benefits High-end Projects However, these same rules apply to housing projects for those in the Above-Moderate Income range. These too must be approved even if they have no units designated for Affordable Housing. Fremont has approved well over 400 percent of its state-mandated housing quota for the Above-Moderate level. While housing that is affordable will benefit from these bills, local control over high-end projects has also been constrained. Conforming Projects Conforming housing projects are those that follow the Land Use and Zoning regulations like density, setbacks, heights, etc. In Fremont, they go to the Planning Commission for approval of a Design Review Permit (DRP). In the past, the commission had some ability to condition the projects to improve the layout, density, etc. and had some subjective reasons, like not fitting the Community Character of the neighborhood, to deny them. Now they can only condition minor things like color palette or siding material. Unlike conforming projects, developments that propose a Planned District, require a General Plan Land Use Designation Amendment, or require other legislative action like rezoning, are not subject to these new rules. These types of developments must be approved by the City Council and often involve subjective decisions. Some Examples Several large projects have recently been submitted for Preliminary Review Procedures (PRP). This is a pre- liminary review of the plans to give the developer feedback as to whether its plans would be acceptable. If these projects are submitted later in the year as formal applications for a conforming Design Review Permit, the City and the residents basically have no say on their approval (providing that they have no health and safety issues.) 247 apartment units are proposed for the vacant lot adjacent to Paragon Apartments. The Fore Property Company submitted the 3515 Walnut Ave Apartments PRP with plans for a parking structure wrapped with five stories of residential units. The City Staff Planner is David Wage at [email protected] 84 residential units in a six-story mixed-use building are proposed in the 3411 Capitol Ave Mixed-Use PRP. This lot is where the Schoeber’s Athletic Club used to be located at the intersection with Liberty St. SPSD Developers LLC plans for a two-level, at-grade parking garage, and 14,400 sq. ft. of retail space. The City Staff Planner is Steve Kowalski [email protected]. 303 apartments above retail in a six-story building are proposed for the HUB at the corner of Fremont Blvd. and Mowry Ave. The Fremont Hub Mixed-Use PRP was submitted by KIMCO. The City Staff Planner is Joel Pullen at [email protected] Another Dilemma If a developer purchases land that is currently slated by the City for Affordable Housing and they apply for a conforming but high-end project, not only will we have to approve it, but we will have to designate an equal amount of land somewhere else in Fremont as for Affordable Housing. Fremont currently only designates such land by setting the required density very high. Unless the City finds another way to reserve land for Affordable Housing, we’ll be in a bind.
What Can We Do? The State could amend these new bills to limit their restrictions to housing projects that really are affordable. Contact your State representatives and ask them to work on your behalf to change the law. The California Building Industry lobby is strong and State representatives will have a tough row to hoe. Without your support, Fremont may not be able to say “No” again.

“My pups especially liked the Trails Challenge because they got to go to new parks with new sniffs!” added Petersen, who plans on taking on the 2018 challenge with her canine hiking companions.
To complete the 2018 Trails Challenge, participants need to hike a marathon’s length of trails (26.2 miles) or at least five of the 20 designated hikes in the Trails Challenge guidebook.
“Trails Challenge is about people getting outdoors and connecting with nature,” said Interpretive and Recreation Services Manager David Zuckermann. “Hiking is one of the best ways people can enjoy our Regional Parks.”
Each year, a new Trails Challenge guidebook highlights 20 different trails throughout the parks. From shorelines to ridgetops, there is something for everyone. A handy matrix helps readers choose from easy, medium or challenging hikes, and to identify trails accessible to wheelchair users, and those that allow dogs, bikes or horses.
“The Trails Challenge guidebook was especially helpful,” said Petersen. “The guidebook allowed me to pick a hike with a level of difficulty that matched how I felt that day.
Participation in Trails Challenge is easy. Simply visit www.ebparks.org/TrailsChallenge to download the guidebook and get started. No online registration is required. Free printed guidebooks and T-shirts are also available at participating Visitor Centers while supplies last.

Watson is an award-winning oil painter known for her lush contemporary florals. She was trained in traditional techniques, but her paintings veer into new territories such as flower mandalas and modern still life scenes. Watson is active in the Los Gatos art community and shows her work at Gallery 24, where she is the gallery manager. “My job as an artist is to take the beauty I see around me and distill it into a new image. To say that my work is about beauty may sound simple and trite, but making a beautiful painting is not,” Watson explained. “I’ve painted long enough to know my pre- ferred subject, style and medium. I often paint flowers, usually from my garden. Things I see in nature get edited and colored in my own imagination.” In her flower paintings, Watson said she likes to build up colors in thin layers of oil paint, so that the viewer can see subtle nuances. “When I include people or still life objects, I want to suggest a story by color, by body language of a figure, or by Floral oil paintings by Julia Watson Also photo for Artist of the Month from last issue Page 20 WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE January 30, 2018

SUBMITTED AND PHOTO BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW
The Irvington (Fremont) Lady Vikings junior varsity beat the Newark Memorial Cougars jun- ior varsity 37-32 on January 26th in a game that was undecided until the last three minutes of the game. Although the Vikings caught the Cougars off-guard early with impressive ball move- ment and appeared headed for an easy victory, the Cougars clawed their way back into the game and posed a serious threat in the fourth quarter. However, the close contest favored the Lady Vikings who maintained their lead and secured the win.

SUBMITTED AND PHOTO BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW
The Newark Memorial Lady Cougars were on target all night, January 26th, as they met the Lady Vikings of Irvington (Fremont) and prevailed 68-36. Controlling the paint area under the basket, the Cougars com- bined their defensive dominance with great outside shooting; the outcome was never in doubt. The second half of play was sparked by a Vikings surge but the Cougars were just too far ahead to allow a serious threat to evolve. Lady Cougars highlights (submitted by Tim Hess): Haylee Nelson (26-points, 11-rebounds), Kylie Chan (11-points, 5-assists), Rylee Sarasua (11-points, 3-steals) January 30, 2018 WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE Page 27

The GO COUGARS! flood protection projects. I will use my experience to guide the water district through flood protection projects and working closely with the communities we strive to protect. Specifically, we will continue pursuing a project for Coyote Creek where we saw significant flooding last year. The water district has already taken meaningful actions to reduce the flood risk there, and will continue to seek support from local, state and federal governments to help protect the community. Related to that is emergency preparedness. In the case of flooding, earthquakes or other natural or man-made disasters, we need to be ready to do our best to continue to supply the county with safe, clean water. That takes coordinated prepara- tion well ahead of time. It’s something we work on continually, and I will keep us going down that road. We also want a resilient water supply. This year, we will move forward with major infrastructure improvements including the Anderson Dam retrofit, upgrades to our oldest water treatment plant and essential pipeline rehabilitation. These infrastructure improvements will help us ensure a reliable water supply no matter what extreme weather the changing climate brings. We can’t make progress without our partners at all levels of government. Working with them to make sure we are doing what we can to move our projects and programs forward is a key priority for me in 2018. Collaboration will bring the community better service, better projects and a better use of the public’s funds. We will also work closely with the community. We are undertaking efforts to expand our volunteer base, to get the community engaged in their water system, and to help the water district achieve its goals of providing Silicon Valley safe, clean water for a healthy life, environment and economy. With an active volunteer force, we increase our reach exponentially. Consider volunteering! Send an e-mail to [email protected] to get involved. Many of our volunteers are our county’s youth, an important part of our efforts. Ensuring young people can serve as employees and concerned members of the community in the future requires fostering relationships now. To do that, we have an education program where we work with schools to teach students all about water. We also have a Youth Commission, which accepts the best students in Santa Clara County to learn more about water in Silicon Valley. I’m looking forward to 2018 and guiding the water district to success and strong partnership with the community.
Use water wisely, Richard P. Santos

The California Office of Emergency Services and California Earthquake Authority’s Earthquake Brace & Bolt program was developed to help homeowners lessen the potential for damage to their houses during an earthquake by making them more resistant to ground shaking and soil failure. The retrofits involve bolting a house to its foundation and adding plywood bracing around the perimeter of the crawlspace. Brace & Bolt provides up to $3,000 toward the cost of a retrofit awarded via a lottery of eligible homeowners. In addition, the City of Hayward Brace & Bolt program serves Hayward residents of owner-occupied homes. Using federal funds, the program covers the full cost of brace-and-bolt retrofits for homeowners who are seniors, have disabilities, or are low-income earners. To qualify for the state and city programs, a house must have been constructed prior to 1979 with wood framing, a crawl space and a raised foundation.
