B Ratify 4/24/86 CRA Action,

F. Reject Liability Claim No. GTLC-86-01.
APPROVAL OF 4/10/86 MINUTES

Planning Commissioner member's attendance, whereby it was his
understanding, according to City Attorney Hopkins' comments, that a
past record of absences and the reasons therefore would be submitted
Page 2 -
(4/24/86)
for Council's determination regarding validity of excuses, and Council
would than set guidelines to give Commission direction relative
thereto, noted the Minutes did not reference above. City Clerk
Dughman advised tapes had been reviewed due to vagueness; however, if
further review reveals that to be the intent, minutes will be
amended. Councilwoman Pfennighausen requested Motion by Mayor Pro Tem
Matteson, Pg. 5, paragraph 2, be changed to reflec t requirement of
Planning Commissioner's attendance of meetings not to exceed 10%
absences, opposed to requiring 10% attendance.
(2) Pertaining to the Sisters of St. Benedict's Appeal, Pg.
5, Councilman Evans voiced concern relative to the lack of discussion
leading up to Motions No. CC-86-85A and CC-86-85B, regarding when
installation of curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements would be
required in relation to future planned development, felt it important
to reflect different points of view indicating rationale behind action
by Council. City Clerk Dughman related it was felt that requirements
were set by the Code and discussion appeared to be clarification of
the law.
Responding to Mayor Grant, City Clerk Dughman felt the Minutes could
be amended without any further information or clarification.
CC-86-91 Motion by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, Second by Mayor Grant, ALL AYES,
to approve the Minutes of April 10, 1986, with the above discussed
modifications.
LIONS CLUB BINGO LICENSE RENEWAL

ALL AYES, to authorize City Clerk to issue the Lions Club a Bingo
License Renewal, to expire April 20, 1987, for the purpose of
conducting bingo games at the Senior/Community Center.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Terry Kurr, 22823 La Paix, spoke on issue of Home Occupation Permits.
Intends to start a Family Video Education business requiring no
supplies other than visual aids, questioned San Bernardino County
Environmental Public Works Agency requirement that he secure a Home
Occupation Permit, since his business deals primarily in paperwork,
noted, after checking with surrounding communities, that some Cities
do not require going through the County, making their own
determination relative to environmental impact, and charging only for
the business license itself.
Acting City Manager Schwab related staff would investigate current
policy, coordinate with the County, and possibly incorporate into
existing City Business License Department, related purpose of the Home
Occupation Permit is to protect a residential area from individuals
starting a home business which could have an adverse environmental
impact on surrounding residents

(4/24/86)
J

for his capabilities and talent, concurred with staff recommendations
to extend term expiration to 1990 if unscheduled vacancy is filled

CC-86-93 Motion by Mayor Grant, Second by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, ALL AYES,

preparation of a suitable letter of appreciation and a Certificate of
Service for presentation at a subsequent meeting, and, authorize

Declaration of Committee Vacancies (Roberta Fulton, Donald Minesinger)
Mayor Grant related Committee's request to declare the above two
positions vacant due to lack of attendance and advertise vacancies
with terms to expire June 30, 1990, noted receipt of letter of
resignation from Dr. Donald Minesinger indicating, due to time
constraints, he was unable to devote the necessary time to the
Committee.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen voiced concern over a newspaper article
regarding the removal of two Committee members, felt it abrasive and
unnecessary, advised Dr. Minesinger worked regularly with the
Committee until undergoing heart surgery earlier this year, expressed
appreciation for time devoted and welcomed him to work on another
Committee when feasible. Advised of Roberta Ful ton's work schedule
problems, making it impossible to attend meetings. Concurred with
Committee's recommendations to keep Roberta Fulton and Dr. Minesinger
as alternate members, did not see lack of attendance due to lack of
interest, felt Committee's task extremely important to the community,
requiring complete membership giving full attention to the matters at
hand - officially requested both individuals be sent letters of
appreciation thanking them for their service.
CC-86-94 Motion by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, Second by Mayor Grant, to accept
Dr. Minesinger's resignation as submitted, declare Dr. Vern Andress
and Roberta Fulton's positions vacant, and advertise Emergency
Operations Committee vacancies with both terms expiring June 30, 1990.
Mayor Grant concurred with Councilwoman Pfennighausen's recommendation
for letters of appreciation and offering the alternate options.
Councilman Petta noted difficulty in recruiting members for this
particular Committee, did not feel it necessary to remove these
individuals for lack of attendance, noting their expertise in that
field, felt accepting the resignation and vacating the positions would
be a disservice to the Committee and the Community. Recommended
sending letters requesting they remain on the Committee until such
time as other interested parties are found, if for no other reason
than to serve as consultants, therefore, opposed Motion.
Responding to Councilman Petta, Councilwoman Pfennighausen related
both parties will be asked to remain as alternates on the Committee,
which would be in a consulting capacity, clarified that one member was
omitted from the staff report, and, in fact, there are seven members.
Expressed importance of Committees to the functioning of the City and
voiced concern with individuals who do not attend meetings nor resign,
thereby precluding others from actively participating, supported
Committee's recommendations and opposed Council overriding requested
action.
Motion No CC-86-94 carried, 4-1, with Councilman Petta voting NOE.

budget sessions as May 14 and 15,

CITY COUNCIL REPORTS
Manager Schwab clarified dates for
1986 at 5 30 p.m., rather than May
Mayor Pro Tem Matteson reported the following (1) Voiced objection
to the new Riverside Highland Water Company's water rate increases
(average 40% per household), did not see justification for rate
adjustment and compared exceedingly lower rates of surrounding
communities, encouraged citizens to attend the shareholder's meeting
on April 29 and express opinions relative thereto.
Responding to Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, Councilwoman Pfennighausen
supported action by Riverside Highland Water Company, felt previous
minimum rating unfair and concurred with charge being determined by
actual water usage. Relative to varying rates, felt it unfair to
compare a shareholder company with a municipality. Observed that
Grand Terrace has the highest rate of water use per residence in
Southern California and felt people should be more conscious of
personal usage. Related importance of gaining revenue to upgrade
current systems. Also encouraged attendance at the shareholder's
meeting. Mayor Pro Tem Matteson felt, if exhorbitant rate is due to
being a shareholder company, consideration should be given to
establishing a municipal water company.
( 2 ) Retirement of Phil Elliot, Acting City Manager of Colton -
requested, with Mayor Grant in concurrence, City present a
commendation at his farewell dinner, (3) Warned of strong opposition
to Proposition 51, the "Deep Pockets" Bill, by Trial Lawyers
Association - voiced support of Bill, (4) City employees and City
Council will play softball against the Chamber of commerce -
encouraged participation.
Recessed at 6 50 p m., reconvened at 7 05 p.m., with all members
present.
Relative to the water rate increase, Mayor Pro Tem Matteson further
related that the Board making up Riverside Highland Water Company is
comprised primarily of growers, who both own numerous shares of stock
and use large quantities of water Since above water rate adjustment
reduces cost per share, felt action benefited them far more than the
community as a whole Councilwoman Pfennighausen concurred

Lot #1 Only, (2) Consider the findings of the Planning Commission's
decision from the April 21, 1986 Planning Commission meeting at the
Public Hearing, and, (3) Approve the lot width variance of 67 feet for
Lot #1 of Tract 13050-3.
Mayor Grant opened and closed Public Hearing with no testimony given.
Responding to Councilman Evans relative to impact of approving 67 foot
lot width variance for this particular corner lot, City Engineer
indicated parcel is, in fact, larger than most of the average lots in
the older subdivisions, foresaw no major problems from the design
standpoint or ultimate property usage. Advised all property owners
within a 300 foot radius of property had been notified of this Public
Hearing, which was properly advertised.

City Attorney Hopkins read title of Ordinance, related amended
off-street parking requirements would require that single family
dwellings have two -car garages in R-R, R-1, and A-1 districts.
Mayor Grant opened and closed Public Hearing with no testimony given.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen voiced objection to mandating a requirement
for garages, felt most garages contain everything but vehicles.
CC-86-96 Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, Second by Councilman Petta, to adopt
Ordinance No. 103, carried, 4-1, with Councilwoman Pfennighausen
voting NOE.
TIME EXTENSION OF CONDITIONAL APPROVAL FOR TRACT 13050, 1, 2, 3, & 4
an Dell & Associates
City Engineer Kicak related receipt of April 16, 1986 letter from
Fieldcrest Homes, Inc., property owner of above Tract, requesting
approval of an additional forty-five day conditional final approval
extension, advised request is due to increased loan activity slowing
down processing of construction loans. Subsequent to receipt of
letter, Mr. Kicak advised applicant that, since the Tentative Tract
Map will not expire for sixteen months, the requested extension would
Page 7 -

accomplish nothing, therefore, staff recommended no action at this
time. No action taken.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE,
TITLE 18, PERTAINING TO MINIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR RESIDENTIAL
DISTRICTS. (First Reading)
City Attorney Hopkins read title of Ordinance.
Relative to minimum square footage requirements for residential
districts, City Engineer Kicak advised prior staff recommendations
were presented to the Title 18 Ad Hoc Committee for consideration,
related Committee's recommendations as follows. (1) Single Family
Residential - 1350 square feet, (2) Multiple Family Residential -
(a) Studio - 1 Bedroom - 800 square feet, (b) 2 Bedroom - 1000 square
feet, (c) 3 Bedroom - 1200 square feet, noted the Multiple Family
Residential requirements did not change from previous recommendations
made by staff.
Mayor Grant opened and closed Public Hearing with no testimony given.
Councilman Evans voiced objection to including apartments with
condominiums in calculating minimum square footage requirements, felt
them not to be one in the same and, therefore, should be separated.
Questioned rationale and justification behind selecting above
multi -family residential minimum square footage requirements. City
Engineer Kicak indicated determination of various footage requirements
was a subjective matter. Referencing City of Colton's 1984 Ordinance
adopting footage requirements, Councilman Evans requested
documentation relative to the background thereof, felt developments in
Cooley Ranch area should be investigated with respect to acreage and
density, to include breakdown of number of single and multi -family
dwellings and square footage requirements - in addition, whether above
projects fall within the criteria of Colton's Ordinance or were
approved prior to adoption.
Mayor Pro Tem Matteson felt larger units more desirable, when taking
into consideration the type of buildings in Grand Terrace, therefore,
supported staff's recommendations.
CC-86-97 Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, Second by Councilman Petta, to
approve the Title 18 Ad Hoc Committee's recommendations as follows
(1) Single Family Residential - 1350 square feet, (2) Multiple Family
Residential - (a) Studio - 1 Bedroom - 800 square feet, (b) 2 Bedroom
- 1000 square feet, (c) 3 Bedroom - 1200 square feet, and adopt first
reading of Ordinance with square footage requirements as outlined.
Responding to Councilman Evans, Councilman Petta felt that apartments
and condominiums should be considered together, related apartments are
often converted into condominiums and emphasis should be on conformity
within a residential neighborhood - felt proposed recommendations
reasonable square footage requirements for Grand Terrace and should
Page 8 -
(4/24/86)
not be compared with apartments in Cooley ranch located in a basically
commercial area.
Referencing information received from an individual accomplishing an
apartment rental scale survey in Grand Terrace, Councilwoman
Pfennighausen related the average criteria used when evaluating rents
as follows (1) One bedroom studio apartment - 550 - 600 square feet,
(2) One bedroom apartment - 700 square feet, (3) Two bedroom
apartment 850 - 900 square feet, (4) Three bedroom apartments were
unheard of, therefore, no available figures, noted figures to be
standard whether in Beverly Hills, Orange County, or San Bernardino
County, felt proposed 800 square foot requirement for studio
apartments grossly disproportionate to actual need. Believed three
bedroom apartments would impact the City's already crowded school
situation. Questioned criteria discussed by Title 18 Ad Hoc Committee
in determining footage requirements.
Responding to Councilman Evans relative to density requirement of
18-20 units per dwelling acre incorporated within the Housing Element,
City Attorney Hopkins related those densities, as mandated by the
State, are encouraged.
Councilman Evans questioned whether increasing the size of a
multi -family dwelling, as proposed, would decrease number of units per
parcel , felt that green space would have to be decreased or higher
buildings constructed, therefore, believed it to be an important
consideration. Relative to current development within Grand Terrace,
City Engineer Kicak cited McMillan Development as a developer who
would have no difficulty complying with proposed square footage along
with previously approved density, parking, and landscaping
requirements.
Responding to Councilwoman Pfennighausen relative to criteria used by
Title 18 Ad Hoc Committee, Councilman Petta related consideration was
given to what appeared to be reasonable for development coming into
the City relative to conformance with existing residential
neighborhoods.
Motion No. CC-86-97 carried, 3-2, with Councilmembers Pfennighausen
and Evans voting NOE.

SUBJECT: Placement of Sewer User Charge Liens
FUNDING IS REQUIRED
NO FUNDING IS REQUIRED XX
The City Staff works with our sewer users to attempt to collect all charges. We
have never resorted to di sconnection of a sewer 1 ateral and feel that doi ng so woul d
only make a bad situation worse. Staff has been able to resolve most situations
without drastic action but have encountered three accounts we have attempted to work
with but with no results.
The options at thi s point are 1 egal action or a 1 ien and pl acement on the taxrol1 .
Legal costs would be more than the amount recovered, therefore, the lien procedure
seems to be the best alternative.
The three accounts are skips, and two of the properties are in foreclosure. The
lien procedure would insure the City would recover the amounts due.

SUBJECT PARADE REQUEST BY HANDS ACROSS AMERICA
FUNDING REQUIRED
NO FUNDING REQUIRED
As Council is aware, the much published, Hands Across America organizers,
plan on their pro3ect running through the City of Grand Terrace, on its
way to New York. The exact route of this event will be from the southerly
Mt. Vernon Avenue City limits, to Barton Road, easterly on Barton Road to
the easterly Barton Road City limits. This route will entail a total of
ten street closures, for approximately 20 to 30 minutes (please refer to
attached map). The Hands Across America organizers at this time are
requesting Council authorization to conduct this event within the Grand
Terrace incorporated limits. The organization will be providing the
City with a ten million dollar insurance policy, naming the City of Grand
Terrace as a co-insured. I have also attached to this staff report, an
Interoffice Memo from Lt. Dave Baker to Capt. Jim Bradford discussing
this event. Funds will have to be expended by the City of Grand Terrace
to cover the cost of renting approximately 500 traffic delineators, and
staff time, in addition to any cost that may arise within the areas of
law enforcement and unforseen activities.
Staff Recommends that the Council

County of San Bcrnardiao
This assessment study was made regarding the "Hands Across America" event
that will occur on May 25, 1986 at 1200 hours on Barton Road
This event will consist of people, holding hands and singing, forming a
"human chain" from coast -to -coast This event is scheduled for 1200 hours,
May 25, 1986 and will occur on Barton Road, stretching from city limit
(railroad overpass) to city limit (Colton city limit), a distance of 2 miles
The Hands Across America Corporation estimates about 1,350 people per mile,
impact ,: _ -v with about 2,700 people standing along a major traffic
artery
SPECIFIC PROBLEM AREAS
There are 4 specific areas that I feel will present a concern to law enforcement
and the City of Grand Terrace.
1 PARKING
An est--=--- -"^ participants will be standing in a line on Barton Road
ati now, %j - mere is no way of knowing how many, if any, are
residents of Grand Terrace, nor how many will "carpool" to the city.
This 2,700 doesn't include on -lookers or the curious that always arrive
at major events
The scope of the parking problem is difficult to foresee due to the lack
of information available but I feel about 1,300 to 1,500 vehicles may be
a fair estimate
2 TRAFFIC CONTROL
This doesn't refer to the movement of vehicles into or out of any parking
facilities, but rather assesses the normal flow of traffic along Barton
Road and other surface streets during this time
rons�= ;`Ion must be given to both east -west and north -south traffic
01 emergency nature
J G Bradford, Captain
April 2, 1986
Page 2 - HANDS ACROSS AMERICA (GRAND TERRACE)
2 TRAFFIC CONTROL (continued)
Grand Terrace has two unique problems concerning traffic, these are
(a) The fire station will effectively be cut off from the northern
portion of the city and (b) a major freeway off -ramp terminates into
the line of participants on Barton Road
3 PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC
This refers to the multitude of people that will be walking to their
respective places in line from their vehicles, then later, making the
return trips back to their cars The problem of hoards of people
crossing major streets for 4 or 5 hours could become a tremendous traffic
hazard
4 CRIME PATROL
Although this will be a major event in the City of Grand Terrace,
unfortunately crime may continue There will still be calls for
assistance from citizens, both ncr- _ .nth of Barton Road Response
time, sometimes the difference between life and death, will be greatly
hindered by the amount of pedestrian traffic on and around Barton Road
RECOMMENDATIONS
1 PARKING
a) A dirt lot of about 2 acres located southwest of Barton and Terrace
c:_ J `c =raded and park 400 ,E"-: -- ::-son to contact is
Mr warren Cocke at 783-5021
b) A dirt lot of about 4 acres at 21801 Barton Road could be graded
and oark about 600 vehicles The aerson to contact is Mr. Ruben
Luna at 947-3818
c) The Azure Hill Church at 22633 Barton Road could park about 350
vehicles
d) Vehicles could be parked diagonally on Commercial Drive, southwest
of Michigan and Barton and park about 250 vehicles
TOTAL 1,600 vehicles Security and parking assistance could be
provided by a local service organization

J G Bradford, Captain
April 2, 1986
Page 3 - HANDS ACROSS AMERICA (GRAND TERRACE)
2 TRAFFIC CONTROL (continued)
The IS 215 off -ramp will have to be closed Cal Trans must be contacted
1n order to have this done
A CDF Unit(s) should be placed at some location, north of Barton Road,
for a period of time during this event to shorten the response time for
their requested services
There are 9 intersections assessed in this study They are from, west to
east LaCrosse, the IS 215 on -ramp, the IS 215 off -ramp, Michigan, Mt.
Vernon, Palm, Preston, Honey Hill, and Glendora Each of these intersection.
(excluding those closed by Cal Trans) should have at least 2 persons present
to keep the crowd on the roadside and to facilitate the traffic flow These
persons could be provided by local service organizations
3 PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC
A large percentage of the traffic problem can be handled by
buses School or military ouszb -uuld act as a shuttle service and move
the participants to and from the parking areas This service could also
be used to convince the participants to park in assigned parking areas
and not somewhere else, nearer their place in line
Medical aid may be necessary and Courtesy Ambulance could be standing
by on the north side of Barton Road with the CDF.
4 CRIME PATROL
__ - s_ggested, to keep =r __ that two patrol cars be
employed for those hours, one north and one south of Barton Road
Mrs Korgan at 824-6621 is the head of the Neighborhood Watch and should
:_-ontacted regarding the event
I believe that these or similar solutions will easily handle the large
influx of traffic into the city and reduce many liabilities
