PUBLIC
PARTICIPATION
4r Mayor Matteson opened the meeting for public participation.
Steven Perkio Mr. Perkio informed Council of graffiti on block walls in Grand
22401 Ladera Terrace which he had spoken to Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen
about. He felt if the City would offer a reward people would
come forward helping in the arrest and conviction of those
person(s) who commit vandalism or deface public property. He
stated a good way of getting the word out is through
Neighborhood Watches, the Sheriff's Department, Chamber's
Newsletter and the Foothill Journal.
Councilmember Grant stated Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen had
mentioned something about the amount of graffiti on walls in
the southern part of Grand Terrace several months ago. He
felt this was an excellent idea and was surprised that Council
had not thought of it before. Councilmember Grant indicated he
wasn't sure what the reward should be, but he concurred with
Mr. Perkio. He stated he will put this recommendation on the
agenda for the next Council meeting and asked everyone to think
about what type of reward should be offered.
Council Minutes - 9/10/87

Mayor Matteson asked staff to do some research and bring
recommendations back to the next City Council meeting.
The City Manager informed Council it would be done and stated
the City has a budget of $2,000.00 which is basically
unallocated and non -departmental. He stated it is used for
donations and can be used if Council would direct staff to
develop a program. He stated it can be paid out of the budget
and would not need a motion only a direction from Council.
Mayor Matteson stated that there will be a penalty for those
caught defacing public property and the fine would be used to
pay the reward.
�Mr The City Manager indicated staff will develop a program and put
it in the next agenda.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated that almost on a weekly
basis the City was having the flag stolen and at that time, the
reward for the apprehension and conviction of whomever was
stealing the flag was established. She felt this was an act of
vandalism and theft and felt Council could piggy -back from that
without coming back with a new action, since that was an
official Council action at that time.
Mayor Matteson asked the City Attorney if that could fall under
the previous action? The City Attorney replied he wasn't sure,
he would have to research it.
Bill Dodge Mr. Dodge stated an ongoing aggravation for himself, neighbors
22887 Finch St. and those individuals bordering on the new construction going
on between west of Observation, south of Finch and north of
Oriole, are the Fieldcrest Homes that are going up in that
area. He stated earlier in August people in the area became
aware that the City had a noise ordinance preventing certain
types of construction activities before 7:00 a.m. and after
10:00 p.m. Mr. Dodge stated he and some of the neighbors began
to chart the activities that are going on there and had
contacted the Sheriff's Department on each occasion when the
builders had been in violation of that ordinance. Mr. Dodge
indicated the Community Services Director and City Engineer
were provided with a copy of the log. Mr. Dodge stated he and
his neighbors are tired of the developers violating the noise
ordinance and he would like Council to start some kind of legal
action to stop them. He stated he had no objection to noise
after 7:00 a.m. and up to 10:00 p.m.
Robert Faries Mr. Faries stated the simple fact is the residents cannot stop
12491 Oriole the developers from interrupting their sleep, their Sundays and
holidays. Mr. Faries pointed out the residents, the City
Council or the Sheriff's Department have not been able to stop
the developers. Mr. Faries stated two weeks ago a neighbor and
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 3
his son were roofing their house and the sheriff stopped them
from doing so, as a complaint had been made. He stated you can
stop a private citizen, a resident of this city, but you cannot
stop a construction crew.
Jim Sims Mr. Sims concurred with Mr. Dodge and Mr. Faries. He stated
22907 Finch the disturbances have been many and felt the City has the good
wisdom to set up an ordinance to control these types of things
and all the citizens are asking for is that they be enforced.
Quentin Raaz Mr. Raaz stated he was not aware of the noise ordinance until a
12467 Oriole week ago. He stated he and his sons-in-law were putting a roof
on his home and the Sheriff's Deputy came along and said there
had been a complaint about the noise. After he was made aware
of the noise ordinance, which at the time he wasn't, they quit
roofing. He stated he had called the City about the cement
trough and watering entering his home twice from the runoff and
had been told by a fried that the trough had been approved by
an engineer. Mr. Raaz felt commercial businesses should be
forced to comply with the code, rules and laws of Grand
Terrace.
Marilyn Dodge Mrs. Dodge stated they were told by the Sheriff's Deputies that
22887 Finch prior to obtaining the building permit to start Terrace Hills
Housing Construction, they had to sign an agreement to abide by
the noise ordinance of Grand Terrace; that the contractors are
fully aware of the noise ordinance, as the foreman has told the
deputies that he knew about it. She wanted to know what can
they do, is there any recourse.
Mayor Matteson stated there seemed to be two problems, one the
noise and the other, the runoff. He stated they should address
them separately starting with the noise ordinance.
Councilmember Evans stated he believed Council spent a good six
months with the noise problem, which resulted in a noise
ordinance relating to Inland Lumber. He stated Council came up
with the best solution they could at that particular time. He
stated construction workers want to beat the heat, but felt
they should recognize the wishes of people in the community.
Councilmember Evans noted once Council has established an
ordinance, it is not going to be any good unless it is
enforced. He questioned a condition of the building permit,
does a developer have to sign that agreement?
The City Engineer replied, "No," a condition of approval that
is set upon the developer is "you shall obey all the ordinances
of the city." He stated that is the only one that he knew of;
there is no special document that he signs regarding the
ordinances. He stated the developer was cited for a violation
on August 4, 1987 and notice of violation was given to him at
that time.
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 4
Councilmember Evans asked if this was for the noise ordinance
or something else. The City Engineer replied for the noise
ordinance. Councilmember Evans questioned if the City
initiated that. The City Engineer replied the developer had
been cited on August 4, 1987.
The City Engineer stated he received today a copy of the list
of violations from the one Mr. Dodge compiled.
Mayor Matteson asked the City Engineer if he had any
suggestions as to what can be done.
The City Engineer stated he did not want to make suggestions,
4 but if there are any comments, he would like to hear them.
Councilmember Evans stated it is not like Council had been
inactive; Council had initiated something and obviously has not
been effective.
The City Engineer stated that is correct.
Councilmember Evans asked if the deputy who had gone out to the
scene had issued any citations.
Detective Reynosa replied,"Yes." The deputies had been at the
site, in the last month and a half, at least 36 times and on
two of those occasions issued citations.
Councilmember Evans asked other than the letter that the City
Engineer indicated, has anyone directly contacted the developer
on this project and expressed to him the problems that they
have been having and the concerns of the residents.
The City Engineer replied, "Yes," and the inspectors have
spoken to the previous superintendent, as well as the current
superintendent. He stated the citation was actually served on
Fieldcrest Homes in the field and was also forwarded to their
office, so the responsibility for compliance with the ordinance
is certainly with the developer; he felt the subcontractors
were also advised, so they all should be aware of the noise
ordinance.
Councilmember Evans questioned the City Attorney as to whether
it was possible to file a restraining order against the
developer to have them comply with the ordinance.
The City Attorney replied a temporary restraining order is a
document that is preliminary to a preliminary injunction to
prohibit the continuation of a public nuisance, which in this
case is noise.
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 5
Councilmember Evans asked the City Attorney whether it would be
possible for staff to submit a letter to the developer stating
that if they do not immediately comply with the noise
ordinance, that the City will seek other legal means.
The City Attorney agreed to follow through.
Councilmember Evans asked that this be put on the next agenda
for Council to see if they have complied within the two -week
period and whether legal recourse in the form of a restraining
order is needed.
The City Attorney stated they probably would not wait two
weeks, since there were so many violations and they had not
complied with the law. He stated Council will be considering
calling an adjourned meeting prior to two weeks and at that
time Council could declare a public nuisance and seek the
injunction.
Councilmember Evans asked the concerned citizens whether this
was agreeable with them.
The City Engineer stated he will write a letter to Fieldcrest
Homes advising them that their inspections are suspended until
they come into compliance with this ordinance; this will not
stop them from working immediately, but it will stop them at a
point where they will have to have inspections in order to
continue with the next phase.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated that the City is not going
A, to favor the developer because he is going to bring in taxes
as citizens pay taxes too. She explained the noise ordinance
is called a nuisance ordinance and no one rolls on a nuisance
ordinance unless someone makes a complaint. As far as
construction defects, if property adjacent to this building
site is being adversely affected by the construction project
that is going on, it's our responsibility and your
responsibility to see that that it is stopped. If it exists
now, it should be corrected immediately. If this man's fence
has been undermined, it is Fieldcrest's responsibility to see
that the problem is taken care of immediately, not when the job
is completed. She indicated she has concerns for the residents
along Oriole. She stated if Council were to stop construction
on that site today, the winter rains could cause big problems.
She stated she would like to see the project finished because
of what it is going to do down line. It should continue in a
legal way, adhering to ordinances, abiding by building codes
and all that ought to be possible. She indicated she has some
real concerns about stopping the project at this point, but if
that is what has to be done, she suggests hauling in sandbags
to build a dam since there is no landscaping to stop mud flow.
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 6
The City Attorney stated construction activity noises are
exempted from the probations of the noise ordinance prohibiting
loud excessive noises. However, construction activities
between 8:00 p.m., not 10:00 p.m., and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays
and Saturdays are not exempted and, therefore, construction
sites cannot make loud excessive noises between those
designated times, as well as make any loud excessive noises on
Sundays and national holidays.
Councilmember Grant stated we have a double standard and it is
not the sheriff necessarily exercising the double standard,
it's just that the big guy can put up with the pressure of
government longer than the little guy. He concurred with the
other Councilmembers on getting some kind of legal judgment
against the developers because apparently that is the only
thing that they are going to understand.
Mayor Matteson asked the City Attorney if he started on this
tomorrow, September 11, 1987, do you have to give the
developers so many days to comply, what would be legal?
The City Attorney replied he will start the process tomorrow to
stop the noise and if they completely ignore us, then next week
we will have a temporary restraining order preliminary to the
injunction.
Councilmember Evans stated he wanted it understood that he did
not want to stop the development of the project; but that the
developers comply with the order.
The City Engineer stated that they also needed to address the
drainage problem. He stated for the benefit of those concerned
regarding the existing ditch it is not a product that will be
accepted.
Mayor Matteson thanked the concerned citizens for bringing this
to Council's attention. However, this documentation started on
August 4, 1987 and he wished they had brought this matter to
their attention before this. He stated it takes the City a
certain length of time to put things in motion and the City is
here for the people, to protect them and to represent them, so
when something like this comes up let the City know
immediately.
Mr. Dodge stated the developers have done this since they broke
ground. He further stated it took the concerned citizens until
August 4, 1987 to get a hold of the ordinance and to supply the
sheriff with copies of the ordinance so he could enforce it.
Mayor Matteson stated this is the first time Council was aware
of this and Council will immediately take action.
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 7
Mr. Dodge stated the citizens do not want to shut the
developers down. Mayor Matteson thanked Mr. Dodge and said
they do not have to shut down, but they do have to comply.
Mr. Faries stated he wanted something done about the drainage
problem. The rains will be coming down into their yards and
finishing the homes the developers are working on now is not
going to stop the water. The developers are building ten to
fifteen homes in the center of this development and they can
put in all the landscape they want, but that is not going to
stop the mud.
Mr. Sims stated
Engineer whether
control plan to
will not create
have done this.
he is a civil engineer and questioned the City
the developers are required to prepare a road
control drainage from within the tract so it
the mud slides. He asked if the developers
The City Engineer stated, in this particular case, the
estimated date of completion for the public road has since
passed so, based on their schedule, he felt that the area
would be adequately protected from any potential mud slides or
runoff, especially in the public right-of-way; therefore, in
this particular case they were not required to submit a plan.
Mr. Sims asked whether the developers could prepare such a plan
since they are running past the anticipated schedule.
The City Engineer stated he agreed with Mr. Sims, that such a
4 plan is an excellent tool, you can have the plan, but trying to
implement it and having the cooperation is another thing.
Mrs. Dodge Mrs. Dodge stated she prepared the response for the Southern
Pacific Transportation Company Railroad litigation versus the
City of Grand Terrace and filed it. She asked the Council to
do them a favor and get the Temporary Restraining Order, if
necessary.
Dick Rollins Mr. Rollins stated he would like to remind the City Attorney he
22700 DeBerry did work out an ordinance for a law regarding a reward for
vandalism of public property.
Mr. Rollins indicated a reward was posted in the park when
vandals burned down the bulletin board. He stated the City
Engineer came up with the answer. The developers are paying
over $6,000.00 a day in construction interest money, that time
is of the essence and the developers are going to ignore you
all they can to keep from paying other interest rates. He
stated the way to stop the developers is to stop the inspection
permits; stop the inspections and you stop construction; then
the interest rates go up and that will force them to abide by
the ordinance.
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 8
Mr. Rollins stated that by the City Engineer writing a letter
it will be far more powerful than the letter the City Attorney
writes because the developer want those subs in there to get
the job done as fast as it can be done.
Mr. Rollins asked permission to hand out copies of Assembly
Bill 1637, which Barbara Riordan, 3rd District Supervisor, is
spear -heading for SANBAG. He further stated the Parks and
Recreation Committee is going to have an educational process
with taxpayers of this County.
ORAL REPORTS
Committee Reports There were no Committee reports.
City Council Reports
Councilmember Councilmember Evans stated last week he was contacted by a
Evans gentlemen who lives on the west side of the freeway in regard
to a problem involving the truck swampers and the traffic
problems they are creating along Barton Road. He had passed
the information on to the Community Services Director and was
curious as to what current status is.
The Assistant City Manager stated they notified the Sheriff's
Department, and those individuals that were stopped and parked
in the public right-of-way where it was posted no parking, were
moved on. He stated there are some individuals that are
parking on private property and the City has no control over
that property. He thought Mr. Hughes and some of the residents
4 from Grand Terrace Road have submitted a request to the Mayor
and members of the City Council to designate certain areas
along Grand Terrace Road as "No Parking" areas.
Councilmember Evans requested the Assistant City Manager to
review the letter and see if it would be appropriate to place
"No Parking" signs in those designated areas and hopefully
resolve the problem.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated the City needs to talk very
carefully to the people along Grand Terrace Road to find out
what can be done and advise them of how restrictive the
solution can be. She stated the other thing that she is
concerned about is the condition of the private property upon
which these people are parking. She felt the property should
be inspected for health and fire hazards. We need to make them
remove the trash and garbage, and if they are not using proper
toilet facilities, then the City needs to do something about
that.
Mayor Matteson noted that the piece of property is in escrow
and will be developed soon.
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 9
Councilmember Evans asked the Assistant City Manager if he had
already inspected the property. The Assistant City Manager
indicated staff made a visual inspection after Councilmember
Evans reported it to staff and staff notified the County of San
Bernardino Environmental Health Department and the appropriate
notices of violation are being prepared.
Councilmember Evans stated as far as the impact of no parking
signs, it was explained to Mr. Hughes that he was to contact
the people who would directly be impacted by any potential
signs. He stated the letter that was submitted had the
concurrence of all the property owners in the immediate area.
He stated it is his understanding that the owners are fully
kaware that if the signs do go up, it will have some impact.
The Assistant City Manager stated he would assume that if those
individuals who are going to be impacted by the proposed "No
Parking" area, concur with that request and it will then be
placed on the agenda for the City Council to take the
appropriate action, to so designate that as a "No Parking"
area.
Councilmember Grant concurred with the other Councilmembers;
sees it five mornings a week and felt it is a very sad
situation. He wondered to what extent, if any, Stater Bros.
Company could assist the City in this. He stated Warren Coake
is the chief security man for that company and felt something
ought to be done to involve Mr. Coake.
Mayor Pro Tem Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen indicated she and Councilmember
Pfennighausen Evans attended the first Municipal Water Advisory Board
Commission meeting after they were selected to do so. She
indicated they are going to be addressing 14 specific areas of
concern that was brought forth to them through a survey done
throughout the Municipal Water District and they are going to
tackle the first five at the next meeting and will report back
to the people at that time.
Mayor Matteson stated Victor Construction is planning on doing
a complex down on Commerce Way, but they don't want to wait
until the General Plan is approved for that area. He stated
they would like to have a meeting with the City Council to get
input next week to get the feel of Council and Planning
Commission. He asked how Council felt about this meeting and
stated he, personally, felt it is good to get an idea before
the developer gets too far into his plans on what we want for
the City down there.
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 10
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated the meeting would be a
workshop -type atmosphere to give them some idea of the feeling
or the problems that people are going to have with the project;
it will be fully open to the public. This project is a
first -quality commercial development within our community.
Time is money and the development has funding. Funding doesn't
last forever and we would like to facilitate this with the
least impact. She further indicated we want to get it through
in a timely manner to a positive result within the City.
Mayor Matteson set the date and time for Tuesday, September 15,
1987 at 7:30 p.m. and asked the City Manager to contact the
Planning Commission.
The City Manager stated he would contact Planning Commission
and would advertise the meeting. He asked if Council wanted to
put the issue of the restraining order on as well. Mayor
Matteson indicated that would be a good idea.
Councilmember Evans suggested that the Chamber be invited to
the meeting and requested the City Manager to also notify
them. The City Manager indicated he would notify the Chamber
and run an ad in the Sun and Riverside Press.
Mayor Matteson notified everyone that October 10, 1987 will be
Grand Terrace's free dump day.
Mayor Matteson called for a ten-minute break at 6:40 p.m.
before going into Public Hearing which was scheduled for
6:30 p.m.
Council reconvened at 6:50 p.m.
Item 6(A)
The Planning Director
stated on August 17, 1987, the Planning
Appeal of
Commission
denied CUP
87-7 (Keeney), an application for a
Planning
Conditional
Use Permit
allowing the operation of a combined
Commission's
recreational
vehicle
park and retail shops facility to be
(Keeney)
located in
the City C-2
zone. He stated subsequently that
Mr. Robert
Keeney has
appealed the Planning Commission
decision to
the City
Council. The Planning Director stated
Mr. Keeney
proposes a
total of 11,600 square feet of commercial
floor space
and 1,300
square feet of floor area devoted to the
RY park.
The Planning Director read the description and proposed uses of
the commercial and RV areas. He indicated if Council approves
this request, staff recommends several conditions to be made
part of the Conditional Use Permit. He further stated these
conditions are contained in the attached proposed resolution
and include recommended conditions by the Planning Department,
Engineering Department, the Department of Forestry, the
Department of Transportation and the Department of
Environmental Health Services.
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 11
He stated the Planning Department's original recommendation to
the Planning Commission was for approval of this application as
conditioned by staff. He noted that it was staff's opinion
that the development of this parcel would be better suited to a
larger retail restaurant development combining this parcel with
the adjacent parcel to the east. However, the existing
developments on these parcels and the availability of other
potential sites in the area, which are more attractive to
developers at this time should keep such a development from
occurring in the near future. For this reason staff feels that
this project, if recommended, is an appropriate use for the
subject property at this time and, therefore, staff recommends
City Council approve Conditional Use Permit 87-7 as recommended
and conditioned in the resolution.
4 Robert Keeney Mr. Keeney stated this is a combined -use project that consists
12139 Mt. Vernon of a commercial center on the front portion of the property;
approximately one and a half acres of commercial and an RV park
on the rear of the northerly property approximately three
acres; indicating the commercial center having approximately
twelve thousand square feet of rentable space.
He noted they are trying to get different tenants in there,
such as restaurants, convenience stores, a hardware store and a
laundromat which will serve both the RV park and the community,
and any other use they feel is compatible in that C-2 zone.
Mr. Keeney stated the RV park will have approximately 115
spaces with a spa, attractive landscaping, greenbelt, a club
room and restroom facilities. He stated the RV park will not
be easily visible from Barton Road, Grand Terrace Road or
LaCrosse, indicating he knew this had been a major concern of
some of the citizens that have questioned this project.
Mr. Keeney indicated the first front third of the project will
be entirely commercial and the way the property is, it will
slope on a gentle rise for about a third of the project. The
RV park portion of it will slope toward the north. He stated
they have met with the neighbors and have their confirmation on
the project if they meet their concerns. He stated they feel
this project will be a catalyst for future development on the
west side of the freeway and Grand Terrace. He indicated in
the development process of this project, Barton Road will be
widened to an ultimate width of one -hundred feet of the
right-of-way and seventy-two feet to curb and it should
alleviate the traffic problem we are having there now.
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 12
Mr. Keeney stated the property is approximately 250 feet wide
and 1,000 feet deep and, because of its unique shape, this
combined project makes a good use of the frontage with visible
commercial and also offers a site cover for the RV park. He
stated they plan to have an attractive design with the town and
country look compatible with Grand Terrace's current desires
for architectural landscaping. He noted the project is an
effort on their part to bring commerce to Grand Terrace. They
want to upgrade the area with a project that is compatible with
the neighbors and the City of Grand Terrace and would
appreciate a favorable consideration from Council. Mr. Keeney
indicated he would be happy to answer any questions or
concerns.
fkaw Mayor Matteson opened the meeting up to the public to find out
if there are any comments on this, either pro or con.
Steve Perkio Mr. Perkio stated he had not heard of any of this before; he
22401 Ladera missed the other Council meeting where this was brought up. He
stated he has done a lot of camping with his wife and felt an
RV park would be nice to have in town as long as it is nicely
landscaped with nice facilities and is quiet for all the
neighbors. He felt it would be a great thing to have people
coming from out of town with their motorhomes to have a place
to stay.
Lois Pierce Mrs. Pierce indicated she had been to their neighborhood
21845 Grand meetings and felt this would be a great addition to their side
Terrace Road of the freeway. They had a few concerns, such as the lighting
which they would like to have low enough so that it didn't
disturb the residents at night. They have been assured it is
going to have a solid fence; a chain link fence would be
unattractive. She further stated they had assured the
residents there will be 24-hour supervision to take care of any
problems that might arrive, and the emergency exit that they
have proposed will indeed be used just for emergencies. Since
the rest of the supporters did not show up, she would like to
encourage Council to adopt this plan.
Douglas Bruno
Mr. Bruno stated he
is affiliated with Moore Construction
Moore Constr.
Development Company
from Riverside, and they are very
Development
interested in this
particular project because they may be
Company
coming to the area
with a development of their own. He stated
they are presently
negotiating on some property which he would
rather not discuss
or reveal at this point. However, if this
goes they will be relatively
close neighbors to this project
and it will enhance
the area. It is encouraging to see that
development is coming
up on the west side and he felt right now
there is a traffic
problem which was a concern to them. He
indicated this will
lend a lesser traffic problem because of
the RV parking and,
if it were all commercial, that would
really put additional
stress in that area for parking and for
traffic flow coming
on and off of Barton Road to the freeway.
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 13
Bruno stated he was in favor of the project and felt it
encouraging from a developer's standpoint.
Sandy Collins Mr. Collins stated he was not for or against this project
22697 Brentwood because he did not know much about it, but he heard people here
tonight say they are in favor and heard the Planning Director
state that you should approve it. He pointed out the reason
the project is before Council tonight is because the Planning
Commission denied it and he had not heard anyone say why.
The Planning Director stated the reason the Planning Commission
did not approve this Conditional Use Permit was based on
traffic impact and the feeling that this area was not suited
for an RV type development.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated she attended the Planning
Commission meeting when this item was discussed and at the end
of the discussion before the voting, they had managed to attach
45 conditions onto this project. She stated she was thinking
Mr. Keeney wouldn't go for these conditions, but he did.
She indicated she left the room completely confident that with
all of those conditions which had been placed on it to mitigate
all of their concerns that there would be nothing that the
Commission could do but approve the project. She stated she
left the meeting and three minutes later she heard the Planning
Commission had completely done a reverse on the direction that
they had been taking on the discussion. She told Mr. Collins
she did not know why the project was denied and she sat through
the whole meeting.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated she did not have a
particular love for the project and had told Mr. Keeney that
from the beginning. The obvious best use is to combine all of
those parcels and have a large project, but in order to do
that, someone has to be willing to gather all of those pieces
together and there doesn't seem to be a meeting of minds.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated that earlier this evening,
Council had something before them that not long ago was a
problem on this particular property; the same swampers were
using this piece of property for a variety of uses that they
seem to find for vacant property. The swampers are gone and
now the property is just sitting there. If Mr. Keeney can
mitigate all of the factors of concern, the project should go
through. She also indicated if all criteria on the project
were met, she would vote in favor of this appeal.
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 14
Council member. Grant stated he wanted to see total commercial
development in that area and had expressed that opinion to Mr.
Keeney. He stated he thought Mr. Keeney had done his best and
it would be to Mr. Keeney's benefit to combine that with other
properties. Councilmember Grant felt Mr. Keeney had been
sincere in his efforts to make something better out of that
than what it is going to be and he concurred with Mayor Pro Tem
Pfennighausen. He stated he read the minutes from the Planning
Commission meeting; read the details; looked at the 40-odd
number of conditions and he cannot justify in good faith why he
should go against this appeal.
Councilmember Shirley stated she felt Mr. Keeney is very
forward thinking in being able to put together a project of
kw this type as he has stated. She said an RV park can be easily
removed for a better use of that real estate. In talking with
Mr. Keeney, he pointed out to her Item 38 in the stipulations
whereby the Department of Transportation had recommended that
there only be one ingress and egress into this property and to
use the emergency exit as the second exit and entrance into
this property.
She indicated she liked the way the plan is drawn; that Council
has here an exhibit with two entrances and, as the people who
live in the area have stated, they want that emergency entrance
strictly left for emergencies so that there will not be traffic
through their neighborhood.
Councilmember Evans stated when this project first came before
the Planning Commission the question was whether or not an RV
#aV park was an allowable use in a C-2 zone. The Planning
Commission found that it wasn't an allowable use. The
surrounding property owners spoke in favor of Mr. Keeney's
project.
Councilmember Evans stated he needed a legal opinion or
explanation from the Planning Director on the change. He
indicated that in the staff report of June 25, 1987, the
Planning Director indicated, based on the Planning Commission's
decision, that this RV park is not compatible with the type of
development Grand Terrace is trying to obtain in the areas the
City currently has zoned C-2. It was his recommendation that
this was not a permitted use in the City's C-2 zone. Now, we
come up to September 10, 1987, where you agree it would be nice
to have this parcel assembled into a larger parcel. It had
been discussed, in the past, the assembly of three parcels
where you can have a larger retail or restaurant development.
The general concensus was that side of the City will probably
not develop as rapidly as some other areas. Now, the
recommendation is that Council approve the project.
Councilmember Evans stated he liked to rely upon input from
staff's expertise, as well as the input from our Planning
Commission. Why the flip-flop?
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 15
The Planning Director stated, the prior action was actually.
taking a look at the determination of use and not the
individual project itself. He stated if that was approved at
that time as a use within the C-2 zone, we would then be
approving an RV park type of use on any piece of property
that's zoned C-2 in the City. He agreed with the Planning
Commissioners that it is not something that we wished to put
into our code. He stated the second recommendation that the
Planning Department has for Council tonight follows up on a
item of law that the City Attorney can explain a little better,
that we cannot outlaw any particular use in the City and
because an RV park is not allowed in any particular zone in the
City neither as permitted or with a Conditional Use Permit. He
indicated they then have the right to apply for a Conditional
�br Use Permit on any particular site in the City and that is what
they have done this time. The Planning Department has taken a
look at it from the staff's point -of -view and the Planning
Commissioners point -of -view as to whether or not an RV park as
presented in this proposal is appropriate for that particular
use and, as you have read, the Planning Commission and Mr.
Keeney disagreed on that and that is why the applicant has
appealed.
Councilmember Evans stated Council has no problems as far as
the project complying legally with any of the conditions.
The Planning Director stated, as long as they can come back,
one of the conditions of this Conditional Use Permit is that an
Architectural Review Hearing be held which is part of the code
requirement. At that time, a revised site plan, which meets
all the conditions that we placed on it in this particular
Conditional Use Permit meets all the standard ordinance
requirements should be presented to the Site and Architectural
Review Board for approval. He noted that particular plan would
need to meet all the regulations and these conditions.
Councilmember Evans stated that the rendering we have this
evening shows two entrances and two exits. Caltrans has shown
that because of this close proximity to the freeway
right-of-way, they will only go with one. How does that change
the traffic impact as it goes out onto Grand Terrace Road?
The Planning Director stated Caltrans' actual recommendation
and ratio recommendation in their memo stated that the driveway
should be pushed as far westerly away from the interchange as
possible and that there only be one -access way onto Barton Road
and that the emergency road entrance be used as a second
entrance. He stated that is not what staff is recommending.
Staff is agreeing with the Department of Transportation that
there should be one driveway on Barton Road as far westerly as
possible, but that driveway be constructed in a manner that is
wide enough to handle the egress and ingress as a one driveway
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 16
facility and that emergency entrance be kept as an emergency
entrance only. He stated because of that, there will be some
internal revisions that will be needed in order to allow the
turning ratios, but the traffic generation will be the same on
Barton Road as it is here which is put together into one
driveway rather than two.
Councilmember Evans asked the Planning Director to explain Item
No. 7. Mr. Keeney indicated Barton Road will be widened to a
100-foot right-of-way with 72-foot curb -to -curb as a result of
his project and questioned whether Mr. Keeney would be willing
in that area to do both sides of the street.
The Planning Director indicated asking Mr. Keeney, because he
wasn't sure what the intent of that memo was.
Mr. Keeney stated he wasn't willing to develop both sides of
the street.
Councilmember Evans stated he did not like the project because
he felt it wasn't the best usage for the City, but from a legal
standpoint, and the input from staff, he can't find anything in
which to deny the project, if Mr. Keeney meets all the
conditions. He stated he would much rather see all the parcels
assembled into a larger development which he felt would be more
of an asset for this community. However, since staff feels
this is not a reality at the moment, he can only support it at
this particular time.
CC-87-176 Motion by Mayor Matteson, second by Councilmember Grant, ALL
(,, AYES, to grant the appeal of Planning Commission's decision of
CUP 87-7.
Undergrounding The City Engineer stated at the August 27, 1987 Council
meeting, Council adopted Resolution 87-20 setting a public
hearing on Council's intention to 100 lb. certain overhead
facilities along Barton Road, including the Southern California
Edison, Pacific Telephone and Cable Television facilities and,
in that same resolution, Council set a public hearing for
September 10, 1987 at 7:30 p.m.
The City Engineer stated he had met with Southern California
Edison personnel. The original map indicated the westerly
boundary could be the easterly right-of-way line of the freeway
which would include the parcel on the northwest corner of
Vivienda and Barton, and the parcels fronting on Barton Road
westerly of Michigan, specifically the service station on the
south west corner and the service station adjacent to the
freeway and the design center on Barton Road. He indicated it
had been requested that the boundary be amended to go easterly
along the center line of Vivienda, center line of Barton Road
and center line of Michigan Street, thus, eliminating the four
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 17
parcels west of M.ichigan and Vivienda on both sides of Barton
Road between those two streets and the freeway. In addition,
it had been suggested that certain parcels within the
boundaries remaining have an overhead pole set close to that
building that actually supports the lights from the Edison
Company facilities on Barton Road right-of-way close to their
homes and then drops from that pole down into the meter which
is fairly close to the structure. He stated it has been
suggested that if the City Council so desires, they can
eliminate the undergrounding of the overhead facilities from
the poles close to the structure to the meter, thus saving some
money. As we discussed previously, one of their considerations
that was given to the property owners for the dedication was
the total undergrounding or the undergrounding of all those
facilities. He stated staff, at this time, is recommending
that the boundaries be amended to eliminate the four parcels
westerly of Vivienda and Michigan. With respect to the
elimination of the undergrounding from the on -sight poles to
the meters, he felt this is something that the City Council
might want to discuss in further detail before staff would even
consider recommendations on that.
Mayor Matteson asked why were we eliminating those areas west
of Vivienda and Michigan? The City Engineer stated he had a
misunderstanding with the Edison Company representative when
they met; he thought they indicated the last pole that would
remain would be just easterly of the freeway right-of-way on
the south side of Barton Road. He stated what the Edison
Company needs to do is take the next pole down which is between
there and the Corner of Michigan and Barton. He stated the
4 pole on the southwest corner of Michigan and Barton would be
eliminated; the one just to the west of that would remain. Two
reasons, (1) the budget that they have prepared for the funds
did not include the relocation or the eliminating of that pole
and; (2) they need to anchor that pole just easterly of the
freeway right-of-way of Barton Road. He stated there is no
place to anchor that pole therefore, the second pole, the one
before the freeway and the one at Michigan and Barton, are the
only ones they can really anchor to maintain the line going
westerly that is to remain over the freeway right-of-way.
Mayor Matteson asked if he was saying the one on the corner of
Michigan and Barton Road would be eliminated.
The City Engineer stated the one on the southwest corner would
be eliminated.
Mayor Matteson said the other question is if you put a pole on
there, you run the Edison lines underground and then you come
up to a pole, wouldn't that be more expensive than if you just
came up to the houses up to the meter?
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 18
The City Engineer stated probably not because you still have to
come up to the meter which is probably the same as coming up
the pole. However, you still have to convert the meter to the
underground facility from the overhead and that is a conversion
on the house itself. He stated, again, he wanted to remind the
City Council that in the transmittal to the property owners,
staff did tell them that the City would underground to the
house and this was a suggestion from the Southern California
Edison Company that if we wanted to save some money, this would
be one place where we could. He stated there is a total of
five residences involved in that particular situation.
The City Attorney stated he wasn't certain of the
communication, the pole on the southwest corner of Barton Road
and Michigan, would it still be standing? Mayor Matteson
responded, no sir. The City Attorney asked if it would be
underground and the response was yes.
Mayor Matteson asked if staff is recommending that you put in
the pole instead of going directly to the house?
The City Engineer stated staff has to honor the transmittal to
all the property owners and staff said that we would pay for
that portion of the conversion on private property to complete
the undergrounding.
Mayor Matteson asked how much difference the City Engineer is
talking about going from a pole to changing a meter over.
The City Engineer replied, "You are probably looking at an
estimated additional $400.00 or so."
Councilmember Shirley asked about the people who had deeded
property to the City and we promised them we would underground
to the house; she felt Council should honor that. She felt it
would be much better for the City if we could underground the
whole thing; if we are going to start with one part of it, lets
do it right.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen asked if there were poles on the
north side along the Grand Terrace School property.
The City Engineer replied not Edison Company poles, but a
telephone line along the frontage of that property and the
service coming to the Community Center is where the telephone
service is coming off of that system. The Edison Company
services to both the Community Center and the School is from a
system that is far removed from Barton Road.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen questioned, "would it be reasonable
in the City Engineer's estimation to pull those telephone lines
underground as we are doing everything else?"
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 19
The City Engineer replied the telephone lines from Vivienda
easterly, which is all on the north side of Barton Road, is
going down and so is the cable, there will be no facility.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated she understood that what he
was saying is that does he feel it would be unreasonable to
take those telephone poles down and put the rest of that
telephone service underground?
The City Attorney asked, "along the frontage of the school
property?" He thought it came under Rule 20 regulations and
wasn't sure we could ask the telephone company to go
underground without asking Edison to go underground in the same
boundaries. He stated that means if we ask the telephone
company to go underground along the northerly side of Barton
Road between Vivienda and the freeway, there is no Edison
facilities in that area and he wasn't sure of what the legality
would be.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated she heard what the City
Engineer was saying. It does seem to piggyback to what
Councilmember Shirley said that if we are going to do it, do it
right and, if that is right, then we need to do it. She stated
there is a definite reason why Edison has recommended retaining
that pole on the south side of the street and that makes
sense. She stated we want to clean up Barton Road; to beautify
the entrance into our City, we want to put everything
underground and we are going to leave poles on the north side
along Grand Terrace School, that doesn't make sense.
The City Engineer indicated, he would have to refer to some
legal advice or talk to someone who is far more familiar with
Rule 20-A than he was from a legal standpoint. He stated to
try and accomplish what we are talking about would mean that
the boundary on the northerly side of Barton Road would follow
the easterly right-of-way line to the center line then drop
back somewhere back to Michigan Street, which would include
only the telephone facilities on that side.
Mayor Matteson asked if it were possible to cross over the
street and then go with Edison down to the freeway, rather than
running separate lines down each side of the street.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated she did not understand what
the City Engineer was saying.
The City Engineer asked Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen, "as far as
the construction is concerned, is that what you are saying,
the installation of the underground?"
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 20
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated, there are facilities on
both sides of Barton Road that are going to have to be moved.
Where we originally started the freeway, Edison has a problem
because of anchoring another pole, so that saves strategic
problems that are solved there. Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen
indicated it didn't make sense to her that the only things on
poles along Barton Road north side of the freeway are telephone
lines. If we are going to underground, it doesn't make sense
that the telephone company is going to underground all of the
lines except from Vivienda to the freeway. Are we going to
leave the poles standing there?
The City Engineer replied, that is the logical boundary for the
undergrounding of Edison and, again, Rule 20-A pertains to
$40. overhead electrical lines which requires all other facilities
to follow. He indicated he would like Sue Noreen, with
Southern California Edison Company, to explain that because he
did not understand it all.
Sue Noreen Ms. Noreen said she did not understand all the legal
Southern ramifications, but would explain to Council that when Edison
California declared the situation where Edison wanted to go out and find
Edison Company the Rule 20-A Project where they could spend the dollars that
Edison had set aside for you to beautify your City, there are
some certain guidelines that have to be followed. She stated
there has to be at least 600 feet, it has to be a heavily
traveled area or an area where there is a lot of overhead
congestion.
Ms. Noreen indicated the initial request that came to Edison
#4W was to underground Barton Road from Canal to Michigan. She
noted what Edison usually does at that point is get together
with the City Engineer, bring in all the utilities and go out
and walk the project.
Ms. Noreen explained Edison could not serve the other side of
the freeway if the district went up to the freeway and the pole
came down, so they have to have an anchor pole there to
maintain the line which goes across the freeway. She stated
there is no way to underground across the freeway. She said
she could not speak for the telephone company, but it could be
because Edison goes out and walks the entire area before coming
up with the most practical, logical boundaries to block off the
underground districts if agreed upon by all three utilities,
cable, Pacific Telephone, and Edison. It could be that they
have met with the same conditions that Edison has; that they
have to have an anchor pole or they can't continue their line
across the freeway. Ms. Noreen further stated the boundaries
are agreed upon mutually by all the utilities. When the map
came to her originally, the boundaries were drawn incorrectly,
not the way that the utilities had agreed upon. Ms. Noreen
stated the agreement was the center line or the properties on
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 21
both sides of Barton Road from Canal to the center line of
Vivienda; the center line of Barton Road; and the center line
of Michigan, but the one Edison pole on the outside of that
boundary would be removed. She indicated that is what was
agreed upon by the utilities and the map should have been
presented to Council that way.
Mayor Matteson questioned, theoretically, the telephone company
would go underground up to Michigan and then up again?
Ms. Noreen replied "Up to Michigan." She stated she could not
speak for them. She did not know what their construction looks
like out there, but they must have a reason for dropping it off
at that point. Mayor Matteson said they are not going through
there by themselves. Ms. Noreen said they are the only ones on
that side of the street; she asked if the cable was with Edison
or on the other side of the street.
The City Engineer replied he believed the cable was on Edison's
side. He questioned Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen, "is that what
you meant by construction, if there are going to be two
trenches, one on each side?"
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated, "no," she just wanted to
make sure; she was getting a little bit scared, now she doesn't
know how logistically they are going to handle it.
Ms. Noreen said it depends on the construction schedule and if
they can all coordinate it; it will go into the same trench.
If one of the utilities is further ahead in construction than
the other, then it usually ends up being something that most
likely will go on one side of the street, because it will be
less expensive. The other two utilities will then go on the
other side of the street and it will be in conjunction with the
street widening on Barton Road.
The City Engineer stated the westerly boundary should be
amended from coming down the center line of Vivienda, westerly
on Barton and south on Michigan and maintain the rest of the
boundary eliminating the boundary westerly of Michigan and
Vivienda.
The City Attorney stated he did not know of any prohibition
that would preclude Council from drawing that boundary to
include the school site or the north side of Barton Road up to
the freeway. He suggested that if you consider doing that, you
should conduct a public hearing, then close it and continue the
matter. Do not make a decision so that you can then consult
with the telephone people and see what impractical problems
that might ...
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 22
Ms. Noreen said she was sure it was something impractical. She
felt it may have been considered at the time, but she certainly
didn't know.
It was observed that Councilmember Grant left the meeting at
7:30 p.m. and returned at 7:35 p.m.
The City Engineer stated, the property that would be effected,
is the Community Center and the school property, which is the
additional boundary on the north side as it is drawn.
Mayor Matteson asked the City Engineer to clarify whether the
utilities will go down to Michigan and stop there at Michigan.
The City Engineer replied, the undergrounding on the south side
or the Edison Company, which is where they are, will include
the pole on the southwest corner on Michigan and Barton and
everything easterly from there to the Canal right-of-way.
Mayor Matteson asked, "and the telephone company would
include?"
The City Engineer replied, "From Vivienda easterly to Gage
Canal along the north side of Barton Road," and he would be
happy to discuss the details of the problems with the telephone
company's representatives and go from there.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated whether it is five years
from now or fifty years from now, sooner or later something is
going to happen with the Grand Terrace School site, and at that
time, she was sure we are going to have all of those lines
underground so she can wait.
PUBLIC HEARING
Mayor Matteson opened the public hearing and asked if anyone
would like to speak on the subject.
Elsa Debald Mrs. Debald stated she was here representing her daughter who
owns parcel 022. She made reference to a letter that was sent
out stating that the property owner shall reconnect their
buildings to new underground lines; service lateral will be
provided without cost to property owners up to 100 feet from
the utilities main line. She wanted to know where is the main
line, is it out in the middle of the street?
The City Attorney indicated that Mrs. Debald was reading out of
the resolution, stating there was a letter that accompanied
it.
Mrs. Debald read part of the letter and asked if the entire 100
feet plus going around through the meter will not be charged to
the property owners.
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 23
The City Attorney replied, "That is correct." The City
Attorney stated the reason he had it put in a letter was
because the normal or standard form of a resolution is what you
are reading. However, the City Council has made the commitment
and what he tried to do is ease the owner's mind with respect
to what the resolution said and that is why he stated it in the
letter the way that he did.
The City Manager indicated that staff had taken up the issue of
the original resolution stating that language. He suggested to
make it clear for all the property owners in the second
resolution, which will allow staff to add one section to that
language that would state that those who dedicated would be
given the connection at no cost, just so that it is in the
legal form in the resolution.
The City Attorney mentioned that it should probably state that
the now improved properties having connections at this time
will be reconnected at no cost. There are others who do have
unimproved property. We can't make a commitment for down the
road.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated she also understood that
this would be an accommodation made to people who willingly
participated with the City in this. She thanked everyone for
helping the City clean up Barton Road. She noted there was
only one exception and she would like to see a Section 8 added
to the resolution so stating that all improved property owners
who willingly dedicated will have the power connected to their
house or place of business at no cost to them, as the letter
represents. Mayor Matteson asked if that was a motion and the
response was yes, and she would like that to be Section 8.
CC-87-177 Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen, second by Councilmember
Evans.
Mrs. Debald Mrs. Debald asked if the meters currently on the houses are
going to be adequate to handle this new line or are there going
to be new meters. The City Engineer replied, no, we will be
using the same meters.
Motion CC-87-177 carried ALL AYES, to add to the resolution so
stating that ALL IMPROVED PROPERTY OWNERS WHO WILLINGLY
DEDICATE WILL HAVE THE POWER RUN IN AND CONNECTED TO THEIR
HOUSES OR PLACE OF BUSINESS AT NO COST TO THEM AS THE LETTER
REPRESENTS.
Mayor Matteson explained because of a prior commitment, he have
been asked to move Item 7(D) up to the next item on the list.
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 24
Pico Park Site The City Manager stated that Council had asked staff to wrap-up
the Pico Park Site issue. Staff has received a summary from
Edison with all the conditions that they would require in order
for us to take control of the site. He stated, that the
fencing and irrigation will be about $6,000.00, the
reimbursement to Marygold is now estimated at $2,500.00 and the
lease is now estimated at $1,000.00. He noted the Parks and
Recreation Committee, at their last meeting, asked for
directions on this issue and therefore, we have summarized it
and placed it before Council to give both the Parks and
Recreation Committee permission, and staff direction on how to
proceed on this matter.
Mayor Matteson asked what was Council's desire.
Councilmember Shirley felt we should go ahead with the lease
with Edison; we need the land and indicated, it is more than
reasonable and it would be a real asset to the community.
Councilmember Grant stated he has consistently supported this
lease and would have liked to have seen a longer lease, but
felt delays in implementing this is going to cost us money. He
indicated, not being totally happy with all the conditions
requested by the Edison Company, felt the need of this park,
and the lease of this land from Edison outweighs those
concerns. He concurred with his colleagues and the Committee
that we need extra recreational parkland in this community. He
fully supports the intent of this agreement with Edison and
feels we would seriously regret this if we don't follow
through.
Councilmember Evans asked the Assistant City Manager, "If we
were to accept to this lease agreement, when would it be
effective?"
The Assistant City Manager indicated he may have to defer this
question to Sue Noreen, but he assumed immediately.
Ms. Noreen replied, it takes about 60 days to draw up a lease,
but you can have immediate occupancy. Edison will tell the
current tenant that the City has agreed to enter into a lease,
even though it might take Edison 60 days to draw up the paper
work. She also stated you can go in and do the improvements
that are being requested, as they have to be done first. You
wouldn't be able to go in right away; you have to get the
fencing up and start doing your work.
Councilmember Evans asked the Assistant City Manager if he were
recommending a cost of $9,500.00, is that for the lease, the
reimbursement for Marygold Farms, for fencing and irrigation?
The Assistant City Manager stated that is $6,000.00.
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 25
Councilmember Evans questioned, assuming we were entering into
the lease agreement, do you have a timetable as to when any
improvements would commence and also exactly what it is that we
are going to do on that property and how much we are going to
spend to improve that property.
The Assistant City Manager replied if it is approved for
occupancy, staff will get back with the Parks and Recreation
Committee to finalize exactly what they are hoping to achieve
with the development of this site and work on obtaining some
concrete estimates as to exactly what it is going to cost.
Councilmember Evans stated we haven't done that to date.
The Assistant City Manager stated we really don't have anything
finalized, everything is strictly preliminary now.
Barbara Conley, Barbara Conley stated the Committee decided to put this through
Chairman
to Council because they felt the amount of time they have been
Parks and
dealing with Edison on the Pico Park Site has been over too
Recreation
long a period of time. She stated the Committee felt the land
Committee
within Grand Terrace City limits for possible park sites is
extremely limited. The availability of a land lease, provided
the City and Edison can agree on conditions, is a viable
option. She stated the original intent of the Parks and
Recreation Committee was to establish a simple park that would
include two adult softball fields, two little league fields,
and two or three soccer fields, depending on the season. She
indicated this proclamation was submitted in February, 1986 to
Edison and she believed was approved by Edison on that simple
basis. Future development concepts, provided they concurred
with the land -lease agreement, would be to include portable
bleachers, toilets, and/or drinking fountains. She stated in
answer to Councilmember Evans' question, we have come up with a
park design of which she had copies. It is not a completed
park design; it is one that was drawn up by one of the
Commissioners and this is what the Parks and Recreation
Committee felt was the best use for the land.
Ms. Conley stated that the cost associated with the simple park
site, backstops, fencing, preparation, seating, etc. had not
currently been assessed by staff; they just had the rough
outline of what they would like to see on that land because of
the ongoing debates. She indicated with cost of land
spiralling outrageously in Grand Terrace, they did not feel the
$1,000.00 per year lease is unreasonable, neither does she feel
that the $2,500.00 cost to reimburse Marygold Farms is
excessive, due to the delay that we have all been involved in
with signing this lease. The $3,500.00 for the first year to
lease ten acres of land would appear to be far below the
purchase price for yearly financing to purchase ten acres of
land here in Grand Terrace. The estimated fencing stipulated
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 26
by Edison Company would possibly be a cost we would incur no
matter where our park site was located. We might think that
there isn't complete fencing around our baseball diamond on
DeBerry, but you have to understand, that is more than a
softball diamond. We are talking about four softball diamonds
on this land on Pico.
Ms. Conley stated during the past eighteen months the Parks and
Recreation Committee has sent various action items to Council
and they are at the point where they would like a decision to
be made. She wanted to know if we are going to lease the land
or not, because they have other ideas and things they should be
working on. The Committee also felt that the possible lease of
these ten acres of land should not diminish the concern for
additional city -owned parkland or a sports complex in Grand
Terrace for the future.
The City Manager stated the estimate is only to do the minimum
that Edison required on the fencing, which is only to fence the
western portion that would separate our parcel from the
existing alfalfa.
Ms. Conley said the plan that the Parks and Recreation
Committee was working on had fencing all the way around and
that is on which she was basing her assumption. The City
Manager stated the cost estimate is just for that one piece.
CC-87-178 Motion by Mayor Matteson, second by Councilmember Grant, to
sign a lease and expedite it as soon as possible.
4W Councilmember Evans questioned the amount of money we are
willing to put into this park site.
The Assistant City Manager stated that is entirely up to the
City Council.
Councilmember Evans asked the Assistant City Manager if he had
any rough estimate based on what has been discussed over the
last couple of years?
The Assistant City Manager assured it could be as high as
$130,000.00 or maybe as low as $90,000.00. It depends on what
extent we want to go development wise.
Councilmember Evans questioned if this amount is for a park
site that will not be fully functional, by that, it cannot be
utilized year-round because we can't put permanent fixtures on
this land and, primarily, lights at this particular point.
The Assistant City Manager responded, "yes."
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 27
Councilmember Evans stated he had some concerns of spending
that amount of money towards a park that will not be fully
functional. He stated the City Manager has shared with Council
that he has been doing a study on possible sources of revenue
that we could utilize towards park acquisition land, which
would be the first step towards having an all-purpose site that
would incorporate what Ms. Conley talked about, a recreation
center, tennis courts, handball courts, lighted fields and what
have you.
Councilmember Evans asked the City Manager to share with
Council and the audience on how much money the City Manager
thought we would have available if we were to pursue going out
on park acquisition.
The City Manager stated he had been working out a residual
value deal with the 1981 housing issue and the closer we get to
actually putting this deal together, it appears it is going to
be more like $500,000.00. Basically, it is the residual cash
that will be available when that bond issue plays out, which
will be in about 15 years. He indicated what this does is
allow us to sell that at the present value and believed that we
could cash out at about $400,000.00, which would be available
to the Redevelopment Agency. If Council saw fit to spend that
on parkland, then we would have to transfer that in the way of
a payback to the City on loans. He further stated if Council
wishes to commit to a site and use those resources or other
resources that exist in the General Fund, there is money
available, as well as methods to use financing if we acquire a
site that we can't handle all at once.

Councilmember Shirley stated she felt Council is in agreement
that we need more than one park site in Grand Terrace, that we
are not stopping with the Pico Park Site if we do go through
with this. Councilmember Shirley asked the Assistant City
Manager how much, not withstanding any funding, we might get
from anywhere else. How much would it cost to purchase and
develop a fully functional park?
The Assistant City Manager stated it depends on what amenities
you want. If you want a multi -purpose type sports complex,
probably in the neighborhood of one million and a half to two
million dollars.
Councilmember Shirley stated she felt the Pico Park Site is a
bargain and a beginning. It is the second park site in this
town and hopefully the beginning of many more.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated that the Pico Park Site
backs directly up to a tract of houses. We would never be able
to light it even if Edison would allow us to put up lights;
that makes it a daytime field. She stated that really doesn't
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 28
bother her because we don't have the dollars and we don't have
the space to produce enough ball parks to keep everyone playing
ball except on weekends, so that is not a great concern to
her. If they want to play ball and they can't do it at night,
then they can do it on weekend as long as we have ball fields
to offer them. She indicated her second concern is that
already this year the turf at the upper soccer field is
starting to get torn up and worn out. She noted it has taken
us six years to get a turf bed that will hold up at all. She
stated if the people think that they are going to have two
useful soccer fields by the next soccer season, by taking the
Pico Park Site, she felt they are going to be sadly
disappointed. She did not think we could build a turf bed that
quickly and history has proven that we can't. She stated, as
far as an unlighted ballfield for softball, all of the things
that Barbara Conley, Chairman of the Parks and Recreation
Committee, referenced about their concept of the use of the
property was actually what she had perceived it would be,
something very simple, inexpensive to develop and something we
would be able to put into immediate use. She stated upon
reflection, we wouldn't be able to put into immediate use the
soccer fields, but we could put into immediate use the four
baseball fields on day time use only. Now her question is do
we take $100,000.00 plus and put it some place if we are going
to need it some place else. If all the questions were in
place, this is absolutely one of the best deals going. She
stated she is going to support the lease, but supports it with
reservation.
Motion CC-87-178 carried with Councilmember Evans voting NOE.
The City Manager asked for clarification, did the motion
include the appropriation that staff listed? The response was
yes.
Item 7(A) Mayor Matteson indicated every Councilmember had an opportunity
to interview the Planning Commissioner applicants the earlier
part of the week.
CC-87-179 Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen, second by Councilmember
Evans, ALL AYES, to appoint Jim Sims as Planning Commissioner.
Item 7(B) The City Attorney stated the Planning Director will be making a
presentation shortly, but this is the second reading of the
ordinance, THE TITLE AND ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF GRAND TERRACE, CA, APPROVING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT
NO. GP 87-2.
The Planning Director addressed amendment changes to certain
land -use designation on the west side of I-215 in the City. He
noted there had been no substantial changes made to the
ordinance and it is now before Council for a second reading.
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 29
CC-87-180 Motion by Mayor Matteson, second by Councilmember Shirley, to
approve the second reading and changes of the General Plan
Amendment. Motion carried with Councilmember Evans and Mayor
Pro Tem Pfennighausen voting NOE.
Item 7(C) The Planning Director stated the second reading of the Zoning
Ordinance change is for the west side of the City at this time
only until the entire General Plan Revision is completed for
the entire City. At the meeting held on July 30, 1987, Council
held a public hearing and requested that staff change the
Planning Commission recommendation of 15 dwelling units per
acre in an R-3 zone to 12 dwelling units per acre. This change
was made in the ordinance.
4W CC-87-181 Motion by Mayor Matteson, second by Councilmember Grant, to
approve the changes in the Zoning Ordinance.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen indicated she opposed one portion
of the Zoning Ordinance and the General Plan Amendment. On the
west side of the freeway, it dealt only with one piece of
property. She felt it is totally unrealistic in today's
dollars to expect the developer to develop multi -family units
at 12 units to an acre. She felt that it is a move on the part
of Grand Terrace to shut that type of development down; she was
not sure we could do that unless we hurry up and get something
else done. Therefore, she will oppose this Zoning Ordinance
Amendment strictly based on the reduction of 15 units per acre
to 12 units per acre.
Councilmember Ev

ans concurred with Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen
taking a look at something that is totally
it is certainly going to create very serious
for the City in the future. He questioned
gone to the State yet? Even if we pass this
conceivably come back from the State at a
is that correct?
The Planning Director indicated his understanding was that the
State, in essence, would reject housing elements because they
must approve it and we would consider any recommended changes.
Councilmember Evans stated we would, therefore, have to go
through this whole process again to increase it.
The Planning Director responded, "That is a possibility."
Councilmember Evans mentioned there is also another concern and
the City Attorney needs to give us input, once it is adopted.
It is his understanding this document is for the entire City,
is that not correct?
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 30
The City Attorney responded, "Yes." The only problem that is
certain is if the designation does not exist east of the
freeway; therefore, it would not be applicable until such time
as you have adopted a General Plan Amendment for that portion
of the City.
The Planning Director stated the Planning Commission had their
meeting Tuesday night. They recommended a resolution, which
will clarify that this Zoning Ordinance and the General Plan
Amendments will not have any affect on the east side of the
freeway until the entire General Plan is heard and approved.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen asked if the Planning Commission
has the authority to do that once Council has adopted this
document. A similar zoning, and the only one she can think of
is A-1, that could be placed elsewhere in the City as we do our
General Plan Update on the east side of the freeway. She
stated all of the other portion of that now will apply to the
whole city, was she correct?
The City Attorney stated, no. Not until such time, and in his
opinion, even with the Commission action, it will not apply to
that area east because Council has adopted amendments that do
not exist in the area east of the freeway or until such time as
the other General Plan Amendment has gone through, or no longer
is compatible.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated if she understands what she
is hearing there is an R-3 Zone where Council has changed some
density regulations in it. She asked if the City Attorney was
420 telling her that is only going to apply to the west side of the
freeway; that any R-3 property on this side of the freeway is
not going to apply until the General Plan in its entirety has
been adopted and the new zoning has been adopted.
The City Attorney, replied, "Yes, you have zoning designations
that do not exist east of the freeway."
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen asked if we have R-3 on both sides
of the freeway.
The City Attorney stated, we have R-3 on both sides of the
freeway, but not within the designation as defined in the
ordinance.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen asked if the specific square
footage is what makes the difference.
The City Attorney answered, "Yes."
Councilmember Evans questioned how is it going to affect the
proposed Mt. Vernon Villas Project?
Council Minutes - 9/10/87
Page 31
The City Attorney asked if that is the Forest City Dillon
Project, Councilmember Evans answer was, "Yes."
The City Attorney replied, it won't because it is east of the
freeway, it will not until you have adopted a General Plan
Amendment.
Councilmember Evans stated, the question is, "it can easily fit
into the criteria of this document," if he understood it
correctly. He stated he has a hard time understanding it is
okay over here, but until you do this on the other side of the
tracks, it is not going to apply, but yet the R-3 that is in
that's particular area would fit the criteria.
The City Attorney stated it wouldn't fit the criteria of the
General Plan Amendment because you have adopted that General
Plan Amendment.
Motion CC-87-181 carried with Councilmember Evans and Mayor Pro
Tem Pfennighausen voting NOE.
Mayor Matteson stated we will adjourn this meeting until the
special meeting of September 15, 1987 at 7:30 p.m. The City
Attorney indicated not a special meeting. Mayor Matteson then
stated to the adjourned meeting.

ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING - SEPTEMBER 15,
1987
A adjourned regular meeting of the City Council and Planning Commission of the
City of Grand Terrace was called to order in the Council Chambers, Grand Terrace
Civic Center, 22795 Barton Road, Grand Terrace, California, on September 15, 1987,

The meeting was opened with invocation by Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen, followed by
the Pledge of Allegiance led by Councilmember Grant.
Mayor Matteson convened City Council and Planning Commission,
this is from the adjourned meeting of September 10, 1987.
Mayor Matteson indicated the first item on the list is the
Retail development in the vicinity of DeBerry and the I-215
freeway.
The Planning Director presented a staff report for Council's
and Commissioners' information. On July 20, 1987 the Site and
Architectural Review Board considered and conditionally
approved SA 87-6, a proposed 3.3 acre commercial retail center
located in the area north of DeBerry Street and east of I-215
freeway. He stated the project, as proposed, requires a
General Plan Amendment which realigns the right-of-way of
Commerce Way and also reduces the required width of Commerce
Way. He stated todate, staff has not processed the General
Plan Amendment to accomplish this because such a realignment of
Commerce Way would have a significant impact on the property to
the south of this project and should be considered in the
overall General Plan Amendment. He stated Mr. Ross Geller has
indicated to staff that the realignment of Commerce Way, as
proposed by the applicant, is in -line with what he will be
recommending. He stated the applicant has requested this joint
meeting in hope that after a general discussion of the project,
he will feel more comfortable in beginning work on the required
drawings necessary for building permits and the Site and
Architectural Review, while waiting for the General Plan
Amendment to be heard. He noted the purpose of this meeting is
for general discussion of this project and no action should be
taken by either the City Council or the Planning Commission, as
recommended by the Planning Department at this time. The
Planning Director indicated the applicants were in the audience
and felt they had presentations to present to Council and
Commissioners.
Vic Peloquin
Mr. Peloquin indicated as being one of the owners of the
280 Pasalto
property, and the property being in their possession
Anaheim, CA
approximately a year and in preparation of this development, he
Victor
understood the City had other developments proposed on this
Construction
property. Mr. Peloquin stated that in order to make the
project economically feasible, they had to come up with a
number of square feet at the price they paid for the property
and the construction. He stated in order to do that, they need
to get the road aligned to get better utilization of the land.
He stated they are anticipating attracting freeway frontage
users that need that exposure. Therefore, their design is
leaning towards what they submitted to the Planning Commission
approximately three and half months ago when they got a very
receptive response from them regarding the overall project.
Mr. Peloquin stated the only thing that the Planning Commission
could not do was approve the realignment of the roads or the
road width with regard to their development. He indicated,
subsequent to that meeting, they understood that a General Plan
Amendment change is coming before the City and is going to be
presented to the City around October 12, 1987 for the first
review. In preparing for that, and in talking with city
officials, they found out their alignment matches the proposed
alignment of the consultant. Mr. Peloquin stated they only had
two issues to discuss; the alignment and the width of the
road. He felt the alignment of the road that they came up with
was what the City's Consultant would be recommending and,
therefore, is not an issue to discuss. Mr. Peloquin stated if
they widen the road further than it is right now, which is
21 ft. on either side, they could easily widen it to 24 ft.,
which would give you two travel lanes each direction. He felt
they could widen the road to 48 ft. and come up with a 12-foot
landscape buffer. He stated the two travel lanes being 12 ft.
Council Minutes - 9/15/87
Page 2
each bring a maximum total of 48 ft. from curb -to -curb which he
believed would facilitate any future traffic needs within that
scope of traffic impact. He stated if the Planning Commission,
City Council and City Personnel all concurred with that, he
would like to open for discussion.
Mayor Matteson asked Mr. Peloquin if he would show them on the
map what he was talking about?
Mr. Peloquin, pointing out on the map, stated what they have
right now is the width of the road being 80 ft. up near the
skating rink coming down to this area. He stated they propose
an ultimate right-of-way of 72 ft., which is about 8 ft. short
of what the width is now. He noted the recommendation they got
at their last meeting, was there will be no "on -street"
46, parking. If that is case, the width of the road could be
narrowed down making it into two lanes in either direction,
48 ft. curb -to -curb. He indicated they would reduce their
landscape buffer (made indication on the map) by 3 ft. and
widen the road to 48 ft. curb -to -curb creating 4 lanes in
either direction.
Mayor Matteson questioned Mr. Peloquin as to where the street
is ending now.
Mr. Peloquin indicated the street ends at DeBerry (made
indication on the map) and ties into the existing street and
makes an even transition to Commerce terminating at DeBerry.
The Planning Director stated the existing street ends at the
beginning of the plan and what Mr. Peloquin is showing you was
OAW proposed.
Mayor Matteson asked if this was the existing proposal or the
revised proposal.
Mr. Peloquin stated this is the only proposal they have ever
submitted.
Mayor Matteson asked who owns the land; was Mr. Peloquin
dividing someone elses land. Mr. Peloquin stated they own all
the land there (indicating on the map), 9.1 acres, they do not
control any of the land on the other side. Mayor Matteson
asked, so this does not affect anyone's property but your own.
Mr. Peloquin replied "That is correct."
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen asked Mr. Peloquin to explain why
the existing General Plan alignment would not make the project
feasible and why the realignment is better for the project in
the City.
Council Minutes - 9/15/87
Page 3
Mr. Peloquin proceeded to show where it terminates and stated,
if this street were to continue on a parallel line with this,
it would come right down in this location and they wouldn't
have parking. He stated by realigning this street and coming
out in this direction, they felt the interesection would be a
much better intersection. Their main purpose is to get this
road away from the freeway, which would allow for ample parking
for larger users.
Councilmember Grant asked the Planning Director how does it
affect the property that continues on south from there.
The Planning Director replied (indicating on map) the one area
where the roads comes into is a property line that would impact
these properties to the south. If, in fact, the road
4bw continued, it would impact each one of the properties on either
side of the property line.
Mayor Matteson asked if the property owners down there have
been contacted regarding their opinion on the street coming in
there. The Planning Director stated they have not been
contacted by staff. Mayor Matteson asked the Planning Director
to please contact them.
Nick Bacani Mr. Bacani stated in the present plan of the 1983 General Plan,
Victor Constr. the road goes all the way (indicating on the map) and even if
this road goes this way and then goes this way, they feel it
would not make very much difference. It would be very logical
and advantageous for the development of the entire City if it
goes this way and dissect this property (indicating on the map)
in between because most of this area is vacant right now. He
stated if this will be zoned similar to this (indicating on the
*,. map), it will be of a great importance to the City, because
right now what we are attracting is freeway visibility. He
stated if this grows, it would impact the growth.
Mr. Peloquin stated, just in general terms, anytime you can get
a road frontage on a piece of property, it will enhance the
frontage value of the property.
Councilmember Grant questioned you mentioned there will be no
"on -street" parking, is that your own idea? Mr. Peloquin
replied no, they met with staff approximately a week or week
and half ago and it was a thought that no "on -street" parking
in that location would be desirable. He stated whether staff
recommends it now or whether the City Council would want
"on -street" parking, what they are trying to do is get cars off
the street and onto the parking lots.
Mayor Matteson stated that he had mentioned in his report that
there was no intended usage and so how can we designate how
many parking spaces are required when we don't know what is
going in.
Council Minutes - 9/15/87
Page 4
The Planning Director stated the current proposal is broken
into three phases. The current proposal, which is going
through Site and Architectural Review, is through the zoning of
C-2 and CPD. The way our code is written, we have a blanket
formula for that, with the exception of certain uses, such as
hospitals, or something along those lines. He stated what the
buildings are being built for, staff measured the parking per
the 100 per one space for 250 square feet requirements. He
stated so, as long as the use goes in and meets the CPD and C-2
use requirements the parking will be adequate as the code is
written now.
Mayor Matteson asked if there were any other questions?
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated several years ago, we
attempted to put a minimum -acre development with an overlay on
that area. She stated through a variety of moods, the
development minimums were removed, but this project comes the
closest to meeting that criteria that at one time we had set.
She stated the hindsight being a little easier than foresight,
had we known something like this would come in, we probably
wouldn't have Orco Tool where it is.
Mayor Matteson stated one of his concerns is that if we do
narrow those streets down, we might have problem later on with
traffic.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen asked the City Engineer if he could
develop some type of scenario that would give Council and the
Commissioners an idea of how traffic would be feeding into this
alignment of Commerce Way and tell us whether in the future,
4 that alignment could handle it.
The City Engineer replied in the staff report that had been
prepared for the first Planning Commission meeting, staff
recognized the General Plan as it is now, which requires
88 ft. of right-of-way with a 64-foot curb -to -curb. He noted
the existing conditions, as they are now in the developed
section of Commerce Way is 60 ft. of curb -to -curb, which
doesn't meet our current standards. He stated, strictly from a
traffic standpoint, the 64-foot curb -to -curb provides for two
lanes of traffic in either direction and a potential parking
lane on either side, which means what you are ending up with is
two 12-foot lanes of traffic, which is the half street.
The City Engineer indicated the concerns he has, if any, are
the fact of someone parking in a "No Parking" area which would
impede traffic, like unnecessary turning movements off of
Commerce Way into the various facilities.
Councilmember Shirley said taking the extremely optimistic
viewpoint that if this development goes in and becomes
Council Minutes - 9/15/87
Page 5
extremely well used and the parking lot fills up and people
start parking on the streets, how can the City deal with this
and keep it under control? She believes there will be
"on -street" parking, illegal or not, and she would like to
address this point further and get sme more comments on it.
Mayor Matteson asked what will happen if you are required to
put in that larger street, how would it affect your project?
Mr. Peloquin stated if the larger streets are put into two
lanes either direction and parking, it impacts the parking
requirements all along both sides and we will have to put in
another 8 ft. The landscaping will diminish and will also take
out parking spaces, which then reduces our square footage of
our buildings. He stated so, economically, it impacts them
460 severely.
Mayor Matteson stated we do not know what will develop down
from there either.
Mr. Peloquin stated as far as the parking on the street, he
felt it could be easily controlled as they do it in other
cities that have "no parking" on the streets. They put in red
curb, "No Parking" signs and enforce it with citations.
Mayor Matteson expressed a concern about delivery trucks or
furniture trucks coming to deliver, they are going to double
park out on the streets while they find out what they are
suppose to do, right there that makes one lane.
Mr. Peloquin stated, traditionally, they don't do that, but he
can't say that they wouldn't. They are suppose to be pulling
into the parking lot and if they have delivered once to that
location, they know where they are going, and they just drive
in.
Councilmember Shirley questioned if there was anything that
provides for compact car parking and, if so, has that been
taken into consideration?
Mr. Peloquin stated it had been taken into consideration. He
stated he thought the code is 25 percent for compact, he wasn't
sure what it is in Grand Terrace.
Councilmember Evans stated he felt we are getting off the path,
and if he understood what was being asked is to give input to
two issues, (1) whether or not we agree with your current
alignment, (2) decide as to the proper width. He stated in the
staff report, the Planning Director mentioned that the
Consultant had indicated he had no problem with this alignment
and this is what he is going to be recommending, is this not
correct?
Council Minutes - 9/15/87
Page 6
The Planning Director replied that is what he had indicated to
him at this point.
Councilmember Evans asked the Planning Director in his
professional opinion, is that realignment better for the City
than what is currently on our General Plan?
The Planning Director replied, "Yes."
Councilmember Evans asked the Planning Director if he could
justify why.
The Planning Director stated he felt the applicant talked about
some of the reasons. Basically, the current alignment runs
along this easement here (indicating place on map). What that
is going to produce is the strip of commercial here that does
not allow for interior parking of the adjacent two structures.
He stated it continues on down into the next section of
properties along the freeway, and the easement is down there
also and this alignment will allow us to dissect the property
and allow a cluster of developments on either side.
Councilmember Evans asked, "for better utilization of all the
area?" The Planning Director replied, "that is correct."
Councilmember Evans asked The City Engineer, from an
engineering standpoint, if we were to go with this realignment
and continue with it south of DeBerry, in your professional
opinion as an engineer is this a better realignment than the
current General Plan?
4bo The City Engineer replied he had no doubt that it is a better
alignment than the one on the current General Plan.
Councilmember Evans stated his position would be at this
particular point is we got it from our Consultants, our staff,
that that's probably what we should go with.
Mayor Matteson asked if he could get some input from the
Planning Commission?
Planning Chairman Caouette stated that initially having been through a
Commission former review project, he agreed with the consensus.
Commissioner Commissioner Hawkinson stated he concurred with Mayor Pro Tem
Planning Pfennighausen as far as what the Commissioners attempted to do
Commission with an overlay, and he felt this is what they were looking
for, this type of development.
Mayor Matteson asked if there were any property owners here who
would like to speak on this subject?
Council Minutes - 9/15/87
Page 7
Tony Petta Mr. Petta made reference to the alignment and to the streets.
First he pointed out that the present alignment was designed
along the flood control right-of-way with the minimum impaction
upon the property owners. He stated that was designed to be a
frontage road. He stated it doesn't mean a realignment
wouldn't be better, it's possible it could be. However, in
order for the property owners to be able to intelligently
discuss the realignment, we need to know where it is.
Mayor Matteson asked the Planning Director to move the map
where the audience could see.
The Planning Director showed the audience where the realignment
was located on the map.
Mr. Petta stated if that is the location of the alignment, then
the alignment will affect his property and it will also affect
the property which is south of him. He stated one of his
questions had been answered, the indication that the road would
be on the property and half on either side. The Planning
Director stated that is what he understood the recommendation
to be.
The Planning Director stated, we can assume recommendation
could be made at this time, for discussion purposes.
Mr. Petta stated if that is the case, let him point out that
half of this road, which would be the west side, at DeBerry and
Commerce Way, the southwest corner, is a duplex and that duplex
would be in the way of the road. He stated that since that
property has already been developed, it would be ages before
the City could force the owner to put in a road at that
particular point. He asked if that would create a problem for
the City?
Mr. Bacani stated they are aligning the new road with one of
the edges of the right-of-way, to be the edge of the 30-foot
water easement line. He indicated a property on the map that
looks like it is abandoned.
Mr. Petta asked Mr. Bacani if he was north of DeBerry now, and
the response was yes.
The Planning Director stated this is the 30-foot easement that
Mr. Bacani is talking about coming down through this area here
(indicating a place on the map). He stated this is the
easement for the water line and across the street there is a
green pressure pop -off valve on the other side of DeBerry. He
stated he wasn't sure if that is dead center in that easement,
but you can kind of get a picture of where this road is going
to be. It is going to be a little bit east of the green valve
that is on the other side. He indicated this easement is
Council Minutes - 9/15/87
Page 8
already existing and felt it has about 60" of water line that
runs down through the high pressure.
Mayor Matteson wanted to know where the duplex was that Mr.
Bacani was referring to.
The Planning Director stated he wasn't sure where Victor
Construction Company was and asked them to come up and point
out their property.
After the explanation and indication on the map, Mayor Matteson
asked if that duplex was to the west of that water cap.
Mr. Peloquin stated he wasn't sure.
Councilmember Evans asked Mr. Harber to point out on the map
where his property was in relationship to where they were
talking about and then share with us your ideas.
Mr. Harber indicated if he understood it right, it's across
from Mr. Petta's property. He stated he really had no problem
with the possibility of a half street...... and felt it would be
a good asset and felt it would be advantageous to others in the
area.
Councilmember Evans stated if he understood his position then,
you don't have any objections at all to continue Commerce Way
from this particular development southward as long as it
divides the property line.
Mr. Harber replied, no, he did not have any objections to that
and felt that it appears as though the development that is
proposed here has had some good planning done and he does not
object to the realignment nor the development.
Councilmember Evans stated he felt the general consensus of
what has been proposed is probably the best utilization for
everyone right now.
Mr. Harber stated that in his opinion, yes, and he agree with
that.
Mayor Matteson asked if there were anyone who objected to this
realignment.
Mr. Petta stated that his conversation was not in the form of
an objection, but his question was specifically about the
duplex at the corner. He stated he really saw no real
objections to that situation. He questioned if the Planners
had considered that?
Council Minutes - 9/15/87
Page 9
The Planning Director stated that he believed Mr. Petta
explained two of the options that are available. We could
either let the property stay there and when it is no longer
useful, we could put it in our plan or else decide it is needed
and we could purchase the property, but that decision would be
up to Council at that time.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated, due to the fact that the
General Plan Consultants have not come in with their
recommendations of land use in the area located between DeBerry
and Van Buren, it is very difficult for us at this time to
project what will happen to that duplex. She stated there
didn't seem to be a great deal of concern about what would
happen to that duplex when it was proposed, but either a wall
or black top would take its place and a regional shopping mall
will be replaced in that area. She felt that at such time as
the property would develop, she was certain the owner of that
duplex, all things being given, if the price were right, the
property would be sold and the road would go through. She
indicated she would have great concern over an alignment that
would take this alignment from Commerce Way to DeBerry, then
jogger over to the freeway, down to Van Buren and then some
other way from Van Buren. She stated she was very concerned as
to where roads are going to go and alignment and street widths.
She noted the General Plan Consultants have not come in with
their recommendations. The property owners in that area have
not had an opportunity, as well as public forum, to come
forward and give their recommendations of what they would like
to see developed in the area. She hoped that is going to
happen, Council has recommended it.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen felt what the developers are asking
us for tonight is a conceptual okay with the adjusted street
width and the realignment, in order to proceed with the project
in a timely manner. She indicated the developer understands
that we can't make any decisions tonight, he is just trying to
get a feel. She stated she would like to hear from the
Planning Commission and she introduced the new Planning
Commissioner, Jimmy Sims.
Councilmember Grant indicated regardless of what the Consultant
ultimately recommends in the area south of DeBerry, there is
most likely going to be a need for the extension of this road,
so you cannot very well put your head in the sand and ignore
the fact the duplex is there. He indicated he is delighted to
see that this project is attempting to be approved and as far
as the width of the roads are concerned, he has concerns, as
well as the Mayor, about parking with red lining. He stated
they had better look at that very seriously now when we can do
something about it.
Council Minutes - 9/15/87
Page 10
Mayor Matteson stated it seems to be the consensus of the
Planning Commission, the property owners and the City Council,
that the alignment is for the best interest of the City and he
felt you can almost take that as a direction. He indicated the
other issue is the width and there seem to be some controversy
on that. He opened discussion on width.
Seth Armstead Mr. Armstead stated he is an absentee owner for Grand Terrace,
but he would like to go on record that Mr. Petta and he are
fifty-fifty on this proposition and he is in favor of the
extension of Commerce Way, because you are going to need the
local use of sales tax.
Commissioner Sims stated that one thing he noticed on the plan
is that the parkway seemed to be fully landscaped discouraging
4,. any kind of pedestrian movements at all and asked the Planning
Director is that the intent.
The Planning Director stated one of the options that was
discussed at the Planning Commission level was whether or not
sidewalks would be appropriate for this type of development.
He stated sidewalks were in the original recommendations from
the City Engineer, but the Planning Commission felt that for
this type of development pedestrian walkways along Commerce Way
was not what they were intending to encourage.
Commissioner Sims stated in his mind he was relating back to
the concern of the roadway width and what would happen beyond
the illegal parking flow. In an emergency situation if a
vehicle breaks down, naturally they will go to the side of the
road, and there doesn't seem to be any provision for escape
#6V along the side of the road except in the roadway itself.
He indicated being interested in seeing what the Consultants
have prepared on this and really would like to see what they
say.
Mayor Matteson concurred with Commissioner Sims and felt width
is very important.
Dick Yost Mr. Yost stated either he missed something or something has not
23247 Barton Road been pointed out that he felt would be rather obvious. He
questioned about parking on either side which would take about
another 12 ft. total or 24 ft. on either side. He asked why
couldn't there be a 12-foot turn -lane right down through the
middle of it? He stated we are talking about taking up 12 ft.
instead of 24 ft. total, so that will have an impact on your
cost factor there too, but a lesser cost factor than an
additional 12 ft. for parking.
Lee Swertfeger Mr. Swertfeger stated he really liked the sound of the whole
12438 Michigan project and agreed with Mr. Yost.
Council Minutes - 9/15/87
Page 11
Councilmember Evans stated he thought the purpose of this
meeting was to try and get a feel for the developers. He
stated he hoped that the issue of realignment has been
addressed to your satisfaction. The issue of width of the
street, we can't give you any definitive directions because we
don't know what the consultant is going to propose south of
DeBerry.
Councilmember Evans stated as far as traffic hazards, he felt
that staff has given you direction, we can put up "No Parking"
signs, that is no problem. Obviously in the event of an
emergency, people may have to park where they are not going to
be able to get off the roadway. His concern was that of
decreasing it down to 48 ft. He felt it is imperative that we
do provide some kind of turning lane and as to what will be
appropriate, that will have to be worked out through staff and
the Engineering Department. He felt they cannot eliminate the
utilization of landscaping. He feels the City needs to heavily
emphasize landscaping, because it sets a tone and he is not
prepared to cut back on that.
Chairman Caouette Chairman Caouette stated he really does appreciate the scale
and scope of this particular project and felt all of us would
like to see this project and more like it.
Vice -Chairman Van Gelder stated she does not have a problem
with a slightly narrower street, but she did feel it is
important to have a center -turn lane. She did not feel that
red lining the curb is going to be a problem. She is very
pleased with the project and hopes we can give it every support
6 possible.
Commissioner Hawkinson stated that he concurred with everything
that had been said as far as the project itself and is very
delighted to see something like this being proposed. He
indicated he is more in favor of a wider width of street,
specifically the turning lane in the center.
Council Minutes -
Page 12
Commissioner Hargrave felt we would need a turning lane on
Commerce Way, as a minimum, and felt it might be prudent to
have the developer, when they come in with their proposal,
give us some of the numbers. He stated perhaps we can mitigate
the number of parking spaces that we have in this particular
project as a way of having what we want as far as the traffic,
which he felt is far more important and has a higher priority
than getting an exact number of parking stalls. He stated he
would be happy to give up some of the parking spaces in that
complex to get a turning lane on that road.
9/15/87
Commissioner Hargrave stated he would like to see some
numbers. If we put a turning lane on Commerce Way, how many
parking spaces in this project would we lose, and then look at
that. If it is reasonable and not too far out of line, then
maybe that is a good trade off.
Commissioner Hargrave asked the Planning Director if the
project contains approximately 35,000 square feet of floor
space, is this rentable or usable floor space or are we talking
gross floor space?
The Planning Director stated the square footage was figured on
gross within the buildings themselves. It does not take into
account sidewalks or walkways in between the buildings, but it
does include storage areas within the buildings.
Commissioner Hargrave stated so, in that case, the square
footage that we have represented here, really is more square
footage than is going to be used for commercial sense. He
noted if we could get a little better idea on the actual square
footage that this project might have as far as resale floor
space then you might be able to better equate that into the
actual number of parking stalls that we would need.
Commissioner Sims indicated he heard a lot of good comments;
his concern revolved around an emergency situation. He
concurred with Commissioner Hargrave in making sure the road is
wide enough.
Mr. Peloquin stated in general, and understood the conservative
approach that was mentioned in regard to the error in widening
of the street or going conservative to an wider asphalt buffer
in there. He stated the problem that you face is that the
street is not a tax -generating source for the City and it never
will be. The square footage of the buildings that is allowed
to be put on that property is a tax -generated basis and is an
income for the City. If you error too large in a wide street,
it just goes perpetually for years and years and never earns
you any income. So it's a thought process in there, of at
least getting to a happy medium of getting the amount of square
footage that's both profitable for us as developers and also to
develop to generate income for the City. He indicated a
left -turn pocket is not going to be traveled at a high speed,
it's mostly slow down and turning to the left. He indicated we
have a tremendous amount of landscaping which is to allow us to
have approximately an 8-foot landscape buffer on either side,
four 12-foot lanes and a 10-foot left -turn pocket lane within
the right-of-way. He felt we will still end up with the
ultimate width of approximately 72 feet.
Council Minutes - 9/15/87
Page 13
Comissioner Hargrave stated if developers come in and don't do
their homework economically and make generic overtones and know
they haven't done it, and you come in and say this is the
square foot this project needs and you have done your homework
properly, he felt you can make a good case, indicating most
Planning Departments will go along with it.
Mr. Peloquin stated he appreciated what Commissioner Hargrave
was saying, but we do have some physical constraints and what
you are seeing on the board up there is not just a one
afternoon shot at getting the best utilization of the
property. It was well thought out for many, many weeks. He
indicated they have some physical constraints as far as the
width between the buildings; the width of the right-of-way that
has to be put in for the travel lanes within the parking area
and then the parking stalls themselves and that by virtue of
those constraints end up almost dictating where the property
line has to be. He stated they might go back and try to do
something with that, but he wasn't sure how they can.
(Indicating going over to the board), if we just move, for
example, this right-of-way over 3 or 4 feet, it will eliminate
this entire row of parking, because we have to have a 25 foot
width, plus the parking stall links in here.
Mayor Matteson stated or you can adjust the building, you don't
have to lose all the parking, you're talking 3 feet, adjust the
building by 3 feet or come up with different designs.
Mr. Bacani stated one solution which would strike a happy
medium between the problem of curb -to -curb that will allow a
left -turn pocket (allowing a right-of-way of 72 ft.), 72 ft.
divided into 12 (12 on a 4-12 lane) is 48 ft. and a 10 ft.
left-hand pocket (58 ft.). He indicated subtracting that from
the 72 ft. right-of-way, (14 ft.). Mr. Bacani indicated if you
allow 6 to 7 ft. of landscaping, (6 ft. on both sides), you
have 5-12 ft. lanes, (12-foot width curb -to -curb). Mr. Bacani
explained a 6-foot landscape buffer on the both sides of road
would be more than enough, depending on the kind of landscaping
(inside and outside). He stated, Victor Construction
emphasizes beautiful landscaping on the buildings that he owns.
Mr. Bacani agreed with Councilmember Evans that landscaping
attracts people. He stated, they could perhaps propose instead
of the 15-foot landscaping buffer they have drawn, they can
accommodate the road 4 lanes of 12 ft. and a center -lane pocket
of 10 to 12 ft. and the remainder will be 6 ft. on either side
for landscaping where we can have trees and shrubs. He stated
if you even want to put sidewalks, you can accommodate it.
Still it comes to 72 ft. right-of-way and if that is acceptable
by the City, then what they are after here tonight is
direction.
Council Minutes - 9/15/87
Page 14
Mr. Peloquin noted that Mr. Bacani had been spending about
$30,000.00 a month to carry available funds. He indicated one
of the greatest difficulties in development of a project is to
get a lender. This project, in particular, because we have got
a joint -venture partner and a lender who has been sold on the
idea and has carried the interest for so many months now.
There comes a time when they can carry no more, and this is the
reason we are asking the Planning Director to give us some
direction so we can proceed with the hard-line drawings. Once
we have the hard-line drawings, we can look forward to
submitting building plans as fast as we can and move forward
with the project. Mr. Bacani asked for the extremes of the
dimensions and we will try to work with them. If our
proposition of a 72-foot right-of-way is acceptable, then we
can proceed.
The Planning Director stated the purpose of tonight's meeting
is to try to give the developers some idea of how the Council
may act in the future regarding the width and the alignment of
the road. We are getting into some detailed information that
really deals with site plans, not Site and Architectural
Review, but unfortunately it does affect the width of the
road. We've talked about the turning lanes, the parking, the
width and we are now touching on landscaping. He stated, and
while you are making that decision about how you would want to
comment on that. We are asking Council to realize that the
landscaping being proposed is within the right-of-way in a
normal development the way the code is written up. The 15-foot
landscaping buffer has to be on their property (the development
property), not in the City right-of-way. The problem with that
is that we need to make sure that we have all of the width that
fir we want now, including the parking and the turn lane. He
noted, because in the future if we are going to approve a
project which allows less than the 15-foot landscape buffer
within the right-of-way in order to widen it, we will be
eliminating all of the landscaping in the future.
Mayor Matteson indicated, okay, let's finish up with the
Planning Commissioner's opinions.
Commissioner Munson stated, the minimum width of the street
should be the four lanes plus the turning lane. However, he
will be happy to compromise on the landscaping or the parking.
He felt we can't be set in what we demand, you have to
negotiate and would negotiate with the landscaping and
parking. He did not feel all of the parking will be used all
of the time.
Commissioner Cole stated, he too, had concerns about the street
width, but felt the left turn lanes were needed. He indicated,
his reluctance to give in on the landscaping because he
believed the landscaping establishes the tone and setting for
Council Minutes - 9/15/87
Page 15
the entire project. He felt 6-foot landscaping on either side
of the street would be a minimum amount that would be just a
place to collect gum wrappers. As far as negotiating or giving
in on the parking, he guessed he would take objection to that
also. He indicated we would be shooting ourselves in the foot
if we cut down on the amount of parking required for the
buildings and he would not be in favor of that suggestion.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated, she would like to summarize
where she stood at this point. She stated, she is particularly
cognizant of the fact that a vehicle may break down and she
didn't think that when roads and freeways are planned they keep
adding additional lanes for the fact that someone may break
down on one and, therefore, you add another to accommodate and
so on. She stated, usually, vehicles are removed rather
rapidly when they find themselves in that situation. The road
width is of concern and she felt that the two lanes in each
direction with a turning -lane is advisable and she did not feel
she would be in favor in reducing to a 6-foot landscaping
buffer.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated she appreciated Commissioner
Hargrave calling to our attention the fact that, the number of
square feet within each building does not accommodate customers
and, therefore, that's where we are associating square footage
to a retail space, not storage space. She stated if she have
to move off center of anything, she would like to retain the
landscape buffer and negotiate on the parking based on usable
retail space. She stated she would ask all the Planning
Commissioners and all the members of the Council to audit the
local shopping centers and see that there is probably only one
season of the year when cars park the entire parking lot
available, and that is Christmas. Otherwise, the perimeter
parking space is never used because Americans have become
traditionally lazy and they do not want to walk more than
50 feet.
Barney Karger Mr. Karger stated he is very much in favor of a wider street
11668 Bernardo and less greenery. Now, the parking as you said, is used only
Way at certain times, so he would compromise on that. Also
remember that you do not have to consider your greenery as
horizontal, it can also be vertical. If you have ferns that
make 8 ft. look like 15 ft. or have more trees so that you have
more greenery and looks bigger. So, if the developer can
assure the Planning Department and convince them that he is
going to have a greenery affect, he sees no reason for not
giving up some of the greenery space.
Councilmember Evans stated, he felt the purpose of the meeting
tonight has been to give direction; that everyone is agreeable
to the realignment. He stated the fact of the matter is that
they are not going to bend on the street width.
Council Minutes - 9/15/87
Page 16
He thought the developers have heard that we are ready to
compromise and the compromise will probably be in parking,
maybe some in landscaping.
The City Attorney stated, the Council has not indicated they
are going to compromise on parking. That, requires a variance
and we certainly cannot commit to granting variances and making
those findings and felt it is simply one of the areas you would
consider.
Councilmember Evans stated, that is the direction he is
hearing, they are willing to do that.
The Planning Director stated in the Code, there is some
flexibility for parking that is allowed for the developer and
the Planning Director to compromise on. He indicated that we
could do some of this without having to go through the variance
requirements which would, in essence, allow us to do it because
the findings for a variance could be very difficult in this
situation.
Mayor Matteson stated, basically, everyone is for the project;
it's a good project; everybody is for the alignment, but you
are going to have problems with that street width, so that is
your basis.
Mr. Peloquin Mr. Peloquin stated, in regard to the street width from the
City Engineer, The Planning Director and anyone who might be an
expertise on it. If four 12-foot lanes, two in either
direction, and a 10-foot left -turn pocket would be acceptable,
we might be able to go back and start with that. If we are
4 told, that, it is 12 ft., then he wasn't sure if the lanes
could all be 11 ft., this are somethings he would like to have
some direction on if, in fact, anyone knows.
The City Engineer stated, basically, what the City Council has
discussed this evening appears to him is that we are back to
the original staff recommendation of 60 ft. In that respect,
he would suggest that as the rest of the property develops
along Commerce Way, he has a feeling we are going to have a
"No Parking" situation all along Commerce Way if there is going
to be a turning lane. He asked, we are talking right now about
2 ft., is that what you are talking about, am I correct, the
difference between a 10 and 12-foot parking lane?
Mr. Peloquin stated it is not that they are objectionable to
that, it is just that they could solve more landscaping buffer
problems with two more feet of landscaping than we could in
putting in more asphalt. So, it is almost one in the same as
far as cost, it's just they are trying to get a happy medium to
accommodate everyone's need.
Council Minutes - 9/15/87
Page 17
The City Engineer stated, strictly from an engineering stand
point, if someone came to him five years from now and said Joe,
why the 1-foot indentation in the curb, he would have a hard
time trying to explain that to him, but it doesn't make sense,
if it is that critical, lets look at it again. He stated there
are certain things we can live with and everyone understands
until someone says why did they do this?
Mr. Peloquin stated they have a beautiful project coming into
the City and they are very proud of what they are going to be
doing. He indicated they are now buffered against Commerce
Way, that is, going up into Michigan with a very very wide
street. They are promoting bringing in a beautiful project to
the City. A lot of color, a lot of elegance into the window of
the City coming in. They stated they do need some concession
to make this a very viable and very successful project for the
City. He thanked everyone for their concerns and indicated
they will go back and give some consideration to the width of
the street, but he didn't necessarily see how that they are
going to automatically open it up to be a 80 or 90-foot wide
street.
Mayor Matteson stated he realized the maximum you get out of
property is the more money you can make and as a business man
that's your purpose, but at the same token we have to consider
everything that is involved.
Councilmember Evans stated he did not know if the City Engineer
answered his question, do you start from the base of 58 ft. or
do you start from 60 ft.
The City Engineer replied there are no decisions to be made
here, theoretically, you should be starting with the base of
88 ft. of right-of-way and 64 ft. curb -to -curb. He stated
staff's recommendation to the Planning Commission was that a
minimum of 60 ft. curb -to -curb be followed and that is what we
are recommending right now. That will give us two lanes in
either direction, plus a turning lane.
Councilmember Evans asked a question from an engineering
standpoint. He has been out to too many traffic accidents and
has had to measure streets, lane widths, what have you. Most
of his experience shows that a turning lane generally averages
10 ft., is that a correct assumption?
The City Engineer replied your affected width for all practical
purposes is probably 10 ft. because you are not going to drive
in the gutter lane, you basically have 10 ft. of pavement to
drive on. He stated he has known of some streets that are
10-feet wide in length and they certainly impede the traffic
and they also caused more accidents in the area. He felt a
12-foot lane is what should be used in the public street.
Council Minutes - 9/15/87
Page 18
Mayor Matteson stated that is why Officer Evans was out there
on the accident because of the 10 ft. He thanked Mr. Peloquin
and stated he hoped they had given them enough information to
work that night.
Mayor Matteson indicated Item #2, Temporary Restraining Order
against Fieldcrest Homes.
The Planning Director read the staff report regarding
testimonies from local residents that live adjacent to the
Fieldcrest Development and primarily their complaints about the
violation of the City Municipal Code Section 8.108.030 Noise.
He stated, present this evening is a representative of the
Fieldcrest Development and if Council so desires, staff would
suggest opening the floor and affording him the opportunity to
give a testimony.
The City Attorney stated we really are here to give the
developers the opportunity to respond, and if he does not
respond and if the testimony that you hear is such that you
deem if a public nuisance, you should declare it and direct the
City Attorney to obtain a preliminary injunction, Temporary
Restraining Order. He stated he did contact the developer's
representative and they indicated they would be present this
evening and he believed they were present. He stated he felt
they should have the opportunity to respond, he generally
conveyed to them what the complaints were and he will let them
tell you what their response is in their own words.
John Neggie
Mr. Meggie stated they have a problem and they have tried to
Superintendent
solve it. He believes some of it has been a little bit
for Fieldcrest
exaggerated. He indicated according to an officer by the name
Development
of Riggs said that the last seven days they have not had a
violation called in, with the exception of today. He stated
they had one that was stupidly done by one of the workmen and
he told the officer it was his first day there when it wasn't.
He stated they sent out letters to all the subcontractors that
starting before 7:00 a.m. will not be tolerated and if they
continue to do this, they will no longer be working on the
Fieldcrest Project. He stated they have signs up, they will
put fences up, if necessary. He stated he did not know what
else to do except shut the whole thing down. He stated it is
very difficult to talk to people who can't speak English. He
stated most of them understand now because they have been cited
a couple of times and he hopes this will be the end of this so
that they can go on with the building.
Mayor Matteson asked if there were any residents that would
like to speak on this.
Council Minutes - 9/15/87
Page 19
Bill Dodge Mr. Dodge said that he was here at the September 10, 1987
22887 Finch meeting and a couple of his neighbors addressed Council with
these problems. He stated he gave Council copies of the logs
that he and his neighbors kept of the violations for the last
four or five days since the last meeting. This past Sunday, he
went down into the development and chased off two gentlemen who
were trying to deliver scaffolding, and when he asked them
aren't you aware of this ordinance, they said nobody ever told
us about it. He stated the only thing that discouraged them
was the possibility of the $50.00 cite.
He stated he has not done his job. He has not done anything
about avoiding or creating less of a nuisance. Mr. Dodge
stated he was here tonight to act as a representative for all
the neighbors who border this project to ask that, in fact,
that this project be considered a public nuisance and that an
injunction be started against them. He indicated this is the
only way these people are going to understand it.
Mr. Dodge said as far as what he wants and what his neighbors
want is their peace and quiet and the only way they are going
to get it is get an injunction process started to have this
company declared a public nuisance. He stated they also want
to know why, out of the thirty-six times that the sheriff was
out, he cited only twice.
Mayor Matteson asked Mr. Neggie if he wanted to answer that?
Mr. Neggie stated the signs were made out and brought out
today, one sign, a double sided sign. He stated there will be
two more signs which will cover up the two streets coming in,
that will be Van Buren and Cardinal. Mr. Neggie stated there
is no problem getting those put up and they will also put
fences up on the existing streets, coming up Cardinal and also
on Van Buren and will lock those. They will lock the street on
Observation, and it will not be opened until 7:00 a.m. because
he will have the only key.
Marilyn Dodge Mrs. Dodge stated on Sunday, she also had to call the sheriff
because there was a roofer out there using a saw to cut the
cement tiles. She did not believe that sheriff had any trouble
communicating with that roofer because the roofer ultimately
got down, packed up his tools and left. She stated she did not
think there is a problem with communication in English.
Mayor Matteson thanked Mrs. Dodge and asked what if we give
Mr. Neggie an opportunity to fence that, lock the gates and
also give Mr. Dodge your phone number, so that if there is a
problem, you call Mr. Neggie and try to solve it in that
manner. He asked would that be satisfactory to you Mr. Dodge?
Council Minutes - 9/15/87
Page 20
Mr. Dodge replied sure, he will go along with that. Mr. Dodge
stated he wants a date when it will be put up and in place. He
stated if we don't we will be leaving them with an open-end
situation, and he has found it does not work.
Mayor Matteson asked Mr. Neggie when could he have that fence
put up. Mr. Neggie said he will have the contractor out
tomorrow and it shouldn't be no more than two or three days.
Mayor Matteson asked Mr. Dodge and Mr. Neggie to please
exchange phone numbers and Mr. Neggie could call and give Mr.
Dodge a date and also call the City and give the City that
date.
Mrs. Dodge stated Mr. Faries, who was not here tonight, was
concerned about them undercutting his back fence.
Mayor Matteson asked them to give Mr. Faries the phone number
of Mr. Neggie. Mrs. Dodge asked how about the run-off ditch?
What's going to happen on that? Mayor Matteson stated the City
Engineer will handle that. She wanted is there a deadline on
that? The City Engineer stated they will get with Mr. Neggie
and resolve all these problems in the very near future.
The City Engineer stated yes he understood and, Mr. Dodge, in
the past, that these are some of the problems we've had and
this was before Mr. Neggie's appearance on the job. He stated
he was not saying that this developer is exceptional or that he
is the worst in the world, he is saying that since this has
been brought to our attention, you and I spoke approximately
about a week or so ago, he wasn't aware of all the problems,
40 unfortunately, not that he could have solved them. He stated
his experience has been that working with them, they try to be
reasonable and all he is saying is that he would like to sit
down with Mr. Neggie and try to resolve those problems and then
come back and give a definite date as to when they will be
resolved if not before we get back together.
Mayor Matteson asked Mr. Dodge if he would get Mr. Neggie's
phone number so you can reach him 24-hours a day. Mr. Neggie
said in the background that his main office number and home
phone number is on there.
Councilmember Evans stated it sounds as if we are dealing with
two problems, a building engineering problem and the noise
ordinance problem. He stated he will only address the noise
because he thinks that is the primary concern this evening.
Councilmember Evans asked Mr. Neggie, you are prepared to put
up a fence around the whole project, is that correct?
Council Minutes - 9/15/87
Page 21
Mr. Neggie stated they will have to. That is the only way they
are going to be able to keep those people out before 7:00 a.m.
Councilmember Evans asked Mr. Neggie from your experience in
the past, how long will it take to get a fence up?
Mr. Neggie stated anywhere from three to four days.
Councilmember Evans stated one week from this Thursday, Council
will be meeting again, if it is not, he would like to request
right now that matter be put on the agenda for review. If it
is agreeable with Mr. Dodge and if the problems have not been
resolved at that time, they will seriously consider taking the
Temporary Restraining Order.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated the thing that disturbs her
about this whole thing is that Grand Terrace is a quality
community and we encourage development with quality
developers. She stated Fieldcrest was not the original company
that we were dealing with and she has had nothing but problems
come out of that development ever since it broke ground. She
stated she cannot imagine how a company the size of Fieldcrest
cannot have a fence up around the perimeter of that facility in
less than four days, if they really wanted to. She stated a
quality developer comes in, understands the area he is in, and
works responsibly and cooperatively with the community.
Fieldcrest owes that to Grand Terrace and we intend to see that
Fieldcrest gives it to us.
Commissioner Sims indicated as one of the owners, he thinks the
fence is a good idea, but he wanted to stress that you are
AW putting up a barrier to prevent people from getting in before
7:00 a.m., but you won't be doing anything to prevent the
people from milling around those lock gates and quite possibly
creating a disturbance at the same early hours.
Mr. Neggie gave Council a copy of what they sent out to all
their subcontractors.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated there is an amazing
mechanism and it is called a payroll check. It has an amazing
quality of being able to control what that man does.
Mayor Matteson stated we have discussed this thing and now
hopefully we have a solution worked out between Mr. Neggie and
Mr. Dodge. This is not going to be perfect no matter which way
it goes, there has to be a little give and take, so hopefully
both of you will work together and try to come up with a
solution.

Councilmember Evans stated just so he understands, this will be
on for the next meeting for review? The Planning Director
stated if Council so desires. Councilmember Evans stated he
feels it is imperative. Also, Mr. Neggie, if you have legal
counsel, have them explain to you what a Temporary Restraining
Order is all about and the power of a Peace Officer, if someone
violates it.
Mayor Matteson adjourned the meeting at 9:45 p.m. until the
next regular City Council meeting which will be held Thursday,

Motion by Councilmember Grant, second by Mayor Pro Tem
Pfennighausen, ALL AYES, to approve Check Register No. 17408.
PUBLIC
PARTICIPATION
Mayor Matteson opened the meeting for public participation.
Tony Petta
Mr. Petta stated he appreciated the Mayor reading the
11875 Eton Dr.
proclamation of the Constitution and the importance of
remembering the fact that, we the people refer to the
government of the people by and for the people. He also stated
the importance of government meetings being opened to the
public. He stated that last Monday evening, he attended the
Planning Commission Meeting and made reference to the Forest
City Dillon Project. He stated the public was not properly
notified of such an important meeting. He stated the newspaper
should have carried the notice for the public's benefit. He
stated this Phase I project went before the Planning Commission
and was denied. He voiced his many concerns about the impact
the apartment will have on Mt. Vernon and the density being the
greatest. The developer appealed and went before the City
Council and the City Council addressed only one of the
problems, which was density. They felt this was the main issue
and, therefore, the City Council approved the whole project.
He stated the developers submitted a plan to the Planning
Council Minutes - 9/24/87
Page 2
Commission last Monday for 308 units, in addition to the
original 248 units. Their project chose not to consider the
conditions of the ordinance. He stated this was approved by
the Planning Commission and will come before Council. Mr.
Petta stated Phase I already has 248 units approved, which
apparently will be built, 96 units will be built in the
Britton area and that already is too much. He stated it will
severely impact Mt. Vernon. He stated as long as the City
Council understood the concerns of the people west of the
freeway, and did away with not only the project, but the zone,
that sets the precedents and, therefore, it would be wise to do
the same on Mt. Vernon.
Councilmember Grant stated that this will come before the City
Council approximately October 24, 1987, or may be as soon as
October 8, 1987. The City Manager stated that they will try
and have it on October 8, 1987, as most of the groundwork is
already set. Councilmember Grant stated he is ready whenever
staff feels they are. He stated his suggestion to staff was,
in addition to the normally described legal places of
notification that it be publicized in the newspapers. Someone
has to make an effort to publicize, not only the people that
might be affected, but the people from all over Grand Terrace
if they are concerned about this need to be notified. He
stated he hoped that we would make every effort to let people
know.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen reiterated the fact that the
Planning Commission made an accurate decision and was very
thorough in their study of the facts stating that the denial of
the project west of the freeway, was not based on density, but
on safety and access of the project. She stated that the
Forest City Dillon Project is not a poor quality project, but a
quality project by a quality builder. After much discussion,
the Planning Commission voted 6 to 1 in favor of the project.
She felt it was about time people got concerned about this
project, and that only about fifteen people were verbal and
stopped it the last time.
Mayor Matteson stated it was not the time for an open
discussion on this subject, that it will be opened for public
discussion at a later date. He stated that maybe the Foothill
Journal could carry an article on it. He then asked if there
were any other public participation.
Debbie Harber Ms. Harber reported the Chamber of Commerce's upcoming
installation Dinner on October 24, 1987. On October 31, 1987,
they will be having their Chili Cookoff. November 8, 1987,
will be the day of the races at Santa Anita.

Ed O'Neal Mr. O'Neal stated two years ago, Grand --Terrace enacted the
22608 Minona Dr. first Smoke Control Ordinance in San Bernardino County. In
general, every city within the boundary of San Bernardino
County, has either enacted or is in the process of enacting a
similar program. He stated we will be hearing more about it in
November.
Mayor Matteson asked if there were any committee reports?
Crime Prevention
Ms. Sharon Korgan asked Council to donate funds for the
Sharon Korgan
plaquesfor the Poster and Essay Contest which she allocated
Crime Prevention
$30.00 a piece for nine plaques. She discussed the program
Officer
goals for 1987/88. She stated that Council had in their packet
a list of the goals she was discussing. She invited Council to
4bv
the October 19, 1987 Monthly Business Watch Meeting at 7:00
p.m. She also invited Council to the Neighborhood Watch
Program on September 30, 1987 at 7:00 p.m. in the Community
Room. She thanked Council for the full-time position, which
she felt is much needed. She asked Council to please act on
the plaques. Mayor Matteson stated he had one question about
the plaquesbeing so expensive. Ms. Korgan stated that she
geared it a little high.
The City Attorney stated there was no action item on the agenda
regarding the plaques, therefore, Council could not act on this
issue. Mayor Matteson asked that it be placed on the agenda
for the next meeting. The City Manager stated that if Council
had general concensus that they want to purchase the plaques,
we have sufficent funds in our existing budget to buy them.
Mayor Matteson stated he felt it was the general concensus, but
the cost should be investigated. The City Manager stated he
will check out more than one price. Mayor Pro Tem
Pfennighausen stated to keep up the good work. Ms. Korgan
informed the Council that Thomas Semph has resigned from the
Crime Prevention Committee.
CC-87-183 Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen, second by Councilmember
Evans, ALL AYES, to accept the resignation from Thomas
Semph,regretfully, and that staff should advertise to accept
applications for his replacement.
Mayor Matteson asked staff to send a letter of appreciation to
Mr. Semph. Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen asked that Mr. Semph be
included in the Volunteer Banquet.
Mayor Matteson asked if there were any other discussions?
Parks and

as a full compliment. He stated that Council will have full
cooperation from the Crime Prevention Committee, as well as the
Parks and Recreation Committee regarding vandalism.
Mayor Matteson asked if there were any other oral reports?
Parks and Ms. Conley, Chairman of Parks and Recreation Committee stated
Recreation that there are three vacancies, due to the resignation of Chuck
Committee Percy, Ken Linderhagen and Louie Galvez. She asked Council to
Barbara Conley advertise for vacancies. She also stated that she is meeting
with all of the other committees regarding an 1988 Community
Events Calendar.
COUNCIL REPORTS
Mayor Matteson asked if there were any Council reports?
Councilmember Evans stated he had two items, the first was the
Barton Road over -crossing to the I-215 freeway and the
congestion. His main concern was the widening of the bridge.
He stated that in 1985, our City Engineer sent correspondence
to Caltrans concerning widening of the bridge on Barton Road
and I-215, and that Caltrans felt there was not enough traffic
to warrant their participation. In March 1987, we again,
submitted correspondence to Caltrans asking for an update on
the situation. He asked if we had received a reply on that.
The City Engineer stated we also asked for synchronization of
the signals at that time. He stated that in a letter he
received last week, Caltrans asked for our traffic data on
Michigan and Barton Road to be compared with their traffic
data. The comparison would be used in the decision both to
widen the bridge and to synchronize signals at these
locations. In communication, Caltrans stated the
synchronization of the lights would pose no major problem, but
that the lights will need to be interconnected with lights on
the off -ramp.
Councilmember Evans stated he would appreciate receiving any
correspondence received since June 1987. The City Engineer
stated that the widening of the bridge would be contingent upon
the passage of the 1/2 cent sales tax. Councilmember Evans
stated he wants to explore the Council's options in case the
Bill does not pass. Councilmember Evans stated the second
issue is in reference to the Pico Park site. He stated that
since we are in dire need of park sites, he asked that staff
prepare a timetable which would be utilized to guide the
development of that park once we enter into that agreement with
Southern California Edison. He would like to see that in
conjunction with the signing of that agreement.
Council Minutes - 9/24/87
Page 5
Councilmember Grant stated for the record, he represented the
cities of San Bernardino County at the Local Agency Formation
Commission on September 23, 1987. He stated that he sat in on
the Yucaipa Municipal Advisory Council's Open Session on
Yucaipa Cityhood on September 24, 1987. He further stated that
he has again observed the rubbish on top of Mt. Vernon and
advised staff to have it picked -up. He also indicated the
parking lot at Stater Bros. Shopping Center needed to be
cleaned up.
Mayor Matteson directed staff to write a letter to the landlord
regarding the clean-up.
Councilmember Grant asked if we had received any update from
the developer regarding the Westar Project? The City Manager
replied we have not received any directly from them, but he
will request an update and report back to Council.
Councilmember Grant stated he would appreciate it.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated as a piggy -back to the
issues made by Councilmember Grant, the lessors pay to have
sidewalks and parking lots maintained. She has encouraged them
to take some kind of action against Viking Properties to take
care of this. She stated that in regard to the Westar Project,
we should receive an update at least once a month on where they
are. She stated that she attended the Parks and Recreation
Committee meeting and one of the big concerns that the Parks
and Recreation Committee requested her to bring before Council
was the frustration that was felt in not getting information
Ar before the fact about the General Plan Update. She stated they
wanted to put in a request that they be given the opportunity
before it comes to the Council for officially reviewing any
recommendations for any place in the City regarding park land
so they have some idea of what the General Plan Consultant is
considering, like the buying of land, the places that he is
identifying as potential sites, so they might address some of
the issues in the development of park sites. She stated that
was an official request from the Parks and Recreation
Committee. She further stated that frustration is starting to
come out in the Committees with resignations. These people are
giving free of their time and they feel Council is not
listening to them.
Councilmember Evans stated that he asked staff several meetings
ago to coordinate the input of information regarding the
Consultant and asked if staff has done so.
The City Manager replied that they have not had any direct
contact to give to the General Plan Consultant. He felt staff
was a little confused as to what contact they wanted the
General Plan Consultant to address regarding the park issue.
Council Minutes - 9/24/87
Page 6
He stated that when he talked to Mr. Geller, Mr. Geller
indicated he was confused as to what context Council wanted
addressed. From a General Plan standpoint, the issue of the
zoning, applying to land for a park, does not generally fall
under the purvue of a general update.
Councilmember Evans stated that he was hired as a professional,
that he should have formulated a plan for land use in this
community and by now this plan should have been forwarded to
the Parks and Recreation Committee. He stated that either the
plan should be written and delivered to the committee or orally
presented, but that it should be a one-on-one communication.
He felt it was clear at the time. He stated that the committee
should be aware of the plan and be able to share their input
before it goes to the Planning Commission or the City Council.
The City Manager stated that it was Council 's direction to the
staff that there would be no direct contact with any citizens
or committee members to the General Plan Consultant. With that
being the direction you have given to staff, you have already,
as a body told us that no one has access and unless Council
changes that policy, that is the case.
Councilmember Evans asked if any correspondence is being
forward to the committee.
The City Manager replied, no direct correspondence relating to
parks.
Councilmember Evans asked has the request been transferred to
the Consultant as to Council's concern?
The City Manager replied, we have talked to the Consultant and
that was the result of the fact stated that he is confused as
to what Council wanted to see. He stated the Consultant feels
it was not his job to stake out land that the City has no
control over and designate it as parkland.
Councilmember Evans stated the City does not have control over
any land.
The City Manager stated that the General Plan Consultant felt,
in his professional opinion, that was not the item that should
be addressed in a General Plan Amendment.
Councilmember Evans stated that he is only 1 of the 5
Councilmembers, that staff should pass it on, that if he does
not identify some land, that he will have some hard questions
to answer to him and he hopes the Parks and Recreation
Committee also.
Council Minutes - 9/24/87
Page 7
Councilmember Grant indicated that what he understood the
direction to staff to be was that the input to the Consultant
from the community would be through the Consultant with the
participation of the City Manager and the Planning Director.
At no time has this Council stated that the community could not
have communication with the Consultant. He stated they hired a
Planning Director to plan the community and a City Manager to
manage the City and that communication must take place in order
for them to work together.
Mayor Matteson stated that the Parks and Recreation Committee
appealed before Council a few weeks ago asking permission to
find a parcel of land. The Mayor stated they were denied the
right and they should have let them do it.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen requested that staff find the
Minutes where direction was given that only the City Manager
would deal with the Consultant. She stated that she felt that
other committee's should be allowed to have access to plans and
be allowed to give input to those plans. She stated that they
should form a citizen committee before the next update to
review the plan and save the City $30,000.00, because Council
has refused every suggestion the Consultant has made todate.
Mayor Matteson asked staff to find the Minutes where the Parks
and Recreation Committee was present and asked for permission
to find a park site.
Mayor Matteson asked the City Engineer what problems there
4, would in putting a stop sign at Main Street at the Michigan
crossing. The City Engineer replied that would have to be
coordinated with the County of Riverside because that is the
boundaries between the two Counties.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated that she had talked to Melva
Dunlap, Supervisor from Riverside about a piece of
correspondence that a lady had received from a supervisor from
that district and in the letter he made a remark that it was
not serious because someone did not die there. Mayor Pro Tem
Pfennighausen stated that by having access to that letter,
there would be no problem in getting the stop sign in that
location.
Mayor Matteson asked about the widening of Barton Road past the
freeway down to the next bridge?
The City Engineer asked within the current project? Mayor
Matteson replied, yes. The City Engineer further stated that
it was possible, but there are some right-of-way problems,
mainly on the south side of the freeway, but these parties
could be approached. He stated that if Council so directed, he
would write letters to the people on the west side of I-215 and
request that they consider dedicating.
Council Minutes - 9/24/87
Page 8
Mayor Matteson asked if that was Council's general consensus to
continue with the research?
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen asked the City Manager if they had
funding for a project of this magnitude?
The City Manager replied he felt before asking the owners to
dedicate, that they should do a study on the cost to find out
if they have funding in this fisal year and that Council could
go from there.
The City Engineer stated that the Assistant City Manager had
funds budgeted for improvement on that portion of the roadway
4 and if they combined that with the estimated balance of funds,
they could come back to Council with a figure of cost.
L41
PUBLIC HEARING
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated that in the widening of
Barton Road, there would be excessive expense because of the
moving of power poles.
Councilmember Evans concurred that they were talking about a
lot of money and asked if they were talking about widening from
the western side of the bridge to the City limits, is that the
intent. Mayor Matteson replied, yes.
It was observed that Hugh J. Grant left the meeting at 7:48
p.m. and returned at 7:54 p.m.
Consider extension The Planning Director read the staff report regarding the T.J.
T.J. Austyn Austyn extension. Mayor Matteson asked if there were any
Tentative Tract questions from the audience regarding this issue?
No. 13050
Robert Faries Mr. Faries stated that a meeting should be set up between
12491 Oriole Austyn and the citizens of the surrounding area and also
suggested that someone from the City be in attendance to help
them understand what is going on.
Ed St. Jermain Mr. St. Jermain discussed the report from T.J. Austyn and
12600 Warbler stated there is no downstream storm drain for the water to go
into. He stated the hydraulic report prepared for T.J. Austyn
stated that there is a large amount of off -sight drainage
coming from Blue Mountain onto that tract. He made reference
to the options stated by the Planning Director. He stated they
called themselves the Blue Mountain City, and if we are going
to be the Blue Moutain City, then we need to learn to live with
Blue Mountain and understand it and the natural forces that
interact with it, because if we don't, Blue Mountain is just
going to wash us down the mountain.
Council Minutes - 9/24/87
Page 9
Mayor Matteson asked if there was anyone else in the audience
that wanted to give their comments on this issue. No one
desired to do so, so he returned it back to the City Council
for their comments.
CC-87-184 Motion by Councilmember Evans, second by Mayor Pro Tem
Pfennighausen, to adopt staff's recommendation, Alternative
Number 1 - denying the request for an extension for TM 13050,
Phases 5, 6 & 7.
Mayor Matteson asked if there was any discussion?
The City Attorney asked what notice we gave to the developer or
4 the owners. The Planning Director replied the applicant was
notified after the Planning Commission meeting of the
scheduling of the meeting and he understood the City Clerk's
Office and the City Manager's Office sent a copy of the report
to the applicant last week, but that has not been confirmed.
Mayor Matteson asked the Planning Director did this expire on
September 12, 1987?
The Planning Director replied, yes, but the California State
Map Act automatically allows for a sixty-day extension, as long
as staff from the City receives a request for a extension prior
to that date or if Council acts and approves or denies the
project.
Councilmember Evans stated that the five members of the
Council, when a project comes before them, have to rely on the
professional experience of all the various agencies for their
input from what they base a decision. He stated that he had
major concerns as it relates to the topography. He stated
there are concerns relating to grading and problems as you get
closer to the foot of the hill, the topography and engineering
aspect of this project are his primary reasons for requesting
denial of the project.
Mayor Matteson asked Council to cast their votes.
Motion CC-87-184 carried ALL AYES.
Mayor Matteson stated the next item is an approval of an
Interim Ordinance clarifying GP-87-2 and Z-87-2 the area west
of I-215. The City Attorney stated he would read the ordinance
and felt it should be an Urgency Ordinance and asked that
Council act on it as an Urgency Ordinance and then he read the
ordinance.
Council Minutes - 9/24/87
Page 10
The Planning Director stated that the Interim Ordinance is to
clarify the intent of GP-87-2 and Z-87-2, the intent is that
all of the changes that were approved at that time will affect
all of the area west of the freeway. Until the City's overall
General Plan and map designation are reviewd, this ordinance
will not change any of the details of those ordinances or
amendments to the General Plan.
Mayor Matteson asked as clarification, why doesn't the zoning
in the ordinance which was passed affect the whole City? Why
are we separating that right now?
The Planning Director replied that was suggested by the City
Attorney and maybe he should clarify that.
The City Attorney stated there are certain portions of the
ordinance that could not apply and until such time as the
General Plan occurs, those designations don't match what
currently exists. The position would be a hunt and peck
situation in which you decide and determine in each instant
which designation applies and which does not. He felt it would
be vulnerable to attack. He stated so that if you disapprove a
project, and it's vulnerable, it doesn't take very much of a
whiz to notice the area in which he should attack you. He
stated he didn't think we wanted the vulnerability to attack
from the position the City takes and the approval it grants.
Mayor Matteson asked if this ordinance would automatically
terminate upon completion of the General Plan? The City
Attorney replied, Mayor Matteson
yes, sir. asked if there were
any questions from the audience?
Councilmember Evans asked the City Attorney if he was making
this ordinance an Urgency Ordinance, when would the effective
date of this ordinance be. The City Attorney replied,
immediately upon its adoption.
CC-87-185
Motion by Councilmember Evans, second by Mayor Pro Tem
Pfennighausen, ALL AYES, that the City Council adopt staff's
recommendation regarding the Urgency Ordinance clarifying
GP-87-2 and Z-87-2, the area west of I-215.

Update on Noise
The Assistant City Manager stated that at the last regular
Violation
session of the City Council, it was requested that Council be
Fieldcrest
aprised of the situation concerning the noise that was being
Homes
generated from the Fieldcrest Property. He indicated there was
an update before Council that dealt with the conversation that
staff had with Marilyn Dodge and Jim Sims.
Council Minutes - 9/24/87
Page 11
Bill Dodge Mr. Dodge handed out a log that he and his wife had kept since
22887 Finch St. the last meeting. He stated there has been some changes, but
they were not significant. He stated he tried to call Mr.
Neggie, but all he got was an answering machine. In regard to
the ditch, he suggested that a Bond be posted by the developer
so that it will be completed.
Robert Faries Mr. Faries stated the gates around the property are opened at
6:00 a.m. every morning. He stated he was contacted by the
City Engineer's Office and that they were going to put in a
storm drain ditch, but he was not informed as to when that is
going to take place. The City Engineer stated he had a
conversation with Mr. Neggie and that ditch would be worked on
(60 beginning September 29th and should take no more than two days
to complete.
Mayor Matteson stated that the ditch is an issue that must get
resolved. He stated that we have done our job on the Noise
Ordinance and things are getting a little picky. These guys
have to get their job done.
Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated that if the project is not
completed by winter, the problems they are facing right now are
going to be minor to the problems they will have. She further
stated she is symphatic with their interrupted sleep and their
peace and quiet on Saturdays and Sundays. She does not feel
that Fieldcrest has been cooperative, and Council is concerned
with the citizens complaints, but not if they have to stand
outside and see if they are working. She stated if the
4, deputies are not citing them, then they need to be given
redirection. She asked the people how would you like to be
house directly behind the underground drain at Cardinal and
Warbler when that water comes down that hill; how would you
like to be that property owner when that comes down as a sea of
mud. She stated that the drainage channel has to be carefully
monitored and done quickly; that the developer should be ready
with sandbags in that event.
Councilmember Grant asked the City Attorney, in reference to
the chronological notes presented to him by Mr. Dodge, if City
Law has been violated. The City Attorney replied, probably on
some of the occasions, but felt the instances had been
reduced. For the most part he did not feel that they are
construction -oriented offensive noises.
CC-87-186 Motion by Councilmember Grant, that Council instruct the
Attorney to provide Council with a recommendation whether
not they should require posting of a substantial bond to
restrain the developer from continuing a nuisance in this
regard or to provide them with information whether or not
should have a legal injunction.

Ci ty
or
they
Second by Councilmember Evans for purposes of discussion. He
asked the City Attorney to define a Temporary Restraining Order
and a Bond that Council member Grant proposed.
The City Attorney replied there is no similarity, the Bond
would assure that this would not occur, it would be a voluntary
bond. The affective way would be the Temporary Restraining
Order.
Councilmember Evans went through the log provided by Mr. Dodge
and asked the City Attorney in his opinion, which occurrences
were actually in violation of the ordinance. The City Attorney
stated the occurrences he felt were in violation.
Marilyn Dodge Mrs. Dodge stated she felt it asked of them to provide Council
with an update, therefore, she took specific notes.
Detective Reynosa asked to address the specific date of the
20th of September. He stated that the Sheriff's Officer went
out to the site and spoke to the workers. He informed
Detective Reynosa as to what his disposition was on that
assignment. The Officer advised him that he had not seen
either of the two men on prior occasions, so he took the
alternative to ask them to leave, which they did.
Councilmember Evans stated from reviewing the chronology of
those dates where there have been violations, with one
exception where the deputies have taken action by initiating a
tv citation. The City Attorney now has to address that in court.
Sandy Windbigler Ms. Windbigler stated she does not live in Grand Terrace
anymore, but works here and felt the citizens need to be more
patient with the developer; as soon as the developers get their
work done, they will be on their way. She stated that it is
not always the developers fault, sometimes it is the
subcontractors fault.
Councilmember Grant stated the people have been more than
patient.
Mayor Matteson stated that if the motion is passed, is that to
install an injunction on this tract of homes? If so, the
developers better increase the insurance, because when the mud
comes down into that tract of homes, the same people are going
to come back to Council for restitution.
The City Attorney stated he did not believe the motion directed
him to to obtain a Temporary Restraining Order. Mayor Matteson
asked Councilmember Grant to repeat the motion.
Council Minutes - 9/24/87

Councilmember Grant stated that this Couincil instructs the
City Attorney to provide Council with a recommendation as to
whether or not they should impose an injunction or whether or
not there should be required a legal Bond against the
developers to restrain the nuisance.
The City Attorney inquired as to whether or not Council would
want him to wait until the next Council meeting to seek a
Temporary Restraining Order.
Councilmember Granted stated, "no."
The City Attorney stated if the motion passes, he suggests that
(40 rather than reporting back to Council as a whole, because they
won't meet for two weeks, that they might want him to report
back to either the Mayor or the City Manager.
The Mayor asked the City Attorney to explain the motion.
The City Attorney stated the motion was for them to report back
with the affect of either or both, and his recommendation as to
which method should be pursued or to pursue a Temporary
Restraining Order and the Bond.
Motion CC-87-186 carried ALL AYES.

Request for
The Assistant City Manager stated the City Council has received
4 No Parking Signs
a request from three property owners, whose property is located
on Barton Road
on Grand Terrace Road, just north of Barton, to delineate
certain areas of Grand Terrace Road as "No Parking" areas. He
stated staff has gone out and looked at the area and staff has
no objection if Council choose to delineate these areas.
Mayor Matteson indicated the agenda stated Barton Road, not
Grand Terrace Road and asked the City Attorney if there was a
problem with that? The City Attorney replied, yes. The Mayor
postponed that item until the next Council meeting.
Appropriation of
The Assistant City Manager stated staff was requested to go

Extension of 90 Mayor Matteson stated that he has since received a letter
days granted to requesting that the date be extended to December 30, 1987,
ITT School until because the building that they are moving into will not be
11/30/87 completed. They will actually be closing the school on the
18th of December and want until the 30th of December to move
out.
CC-87-188 Motion by Mayor Matteson, second by Mayor Pro Tem
Pfennighausen.
Councilmember Evans stated that it was never the intent of the
City to force ITT School out, that he has heard the City wants
to welcome them with open arms. He asked if they would
4W consider moving back into Grand Terrace if they can work
something out with the Victor Construction Project.
Bill Miles Mr. Miles stated the situation with Victor Construction and the
10437 San decision making was that they did not have enough time to wait
Antonio, for Victor Construction. It has come down to timing, as they
Colton are requiring more classroom space. He stated that they felt
it was in their best interest because of timing to leave the
City of Grand Terrace although, they have looked extensively
for more space, before coming to Council.
Councilmember Evans asked if Council were to take action that
would say you could stay and if there are available facilities
in that building contingent upon finding other suitable
locations within the Terrace, would you go with that?
Mr. Miles stated that they would seriously consider it, but
parking is a major consequence.
Councilmember Evans stated that they have until December 30,
1987, and suggested staff closely coordinate with ITT and
Victor Construction in a timely fashion the possibility of
keeping the school in the Terrace.
Mayor Matteson stated that they already have a lease.
Councilmember Evans stated that leases can be broken.
Mr. Miles stated that Grand Terrace had worked and cooperated
with them to the extent beyond reasonableness and they are very
thankful for that.
Mayor Matteson asked Council to cast their votes.
Motion CC-87-188 carried ALL AYES.

RE: SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY CDBG REQUALIFICATION NOTICE
Dear Mayor Matteson:
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently issued Notice
Number CPD 87-10, a copy of which is enclosed for your reference. This notice
addresses the qualification process for urban county participation in the
Community Development Block Grant Program. As part of the qualification process,
San Bernardino County is required to notify each eligible unit of general local
government of its opportunity to continue to participate with the County during
the upcoming three year (Fiscal Years 1988 through 1990) CDBG Program, or elect
to have its population excluded from that of the County's total, and seek CDBG
funds on a competetive basis through the State of California Small Cities CDBG
4W Program.
An extract of that notice states:
"By September 18, 1987, any county seeking to qualify for an entitlement grant
as an urban county for Fiscal Year 1988 must notify in writing each unit of
general local government which is located in the county, and which is eligible
to elect to have its population excluded from that of the urban county (as
described in paragraph III. A.) that it has the opportunity to make such an
election. The notification must make clear that such an election, or the failure
to make such an election, will be effective for the three year period for which
the county qualifies as an urban county, and must state that the unit of general
local government must notify the county and HUD of an election to be so executed
by October 15, 1987."
Please address correspondence to HUD as follows:

CDBG REQUALIFICATION NOTICE
You need to be aware that a decision to exclude the City's population from
that of the County's total would remain in effect during the next three year
CDBG program period. If the City elects to exclude its population and no longer
participate with the County CDBG Program, the City must notify the County and
HUD of this decision by October 15, 1987. Said notice should be accompanied
by a City Council Resolution specifying the City's desire to not participate.
In making your decision, you should consider that during your past participation
in the County's CDBG Program, your City has received over $346,972 in capital
4 improvements, as well as direct citizen benefits from several County CDBG
programs. These programs include housing preservation, business expansion
loans and various public services.
Should your City decide to continue to participate in the County's CDBG Program
during the upcoming three year period, a new cooperation agreement will need
to be executed and sent to HUD by November 9, 1987. The new Cooperation
Agreement will be similar to the agreement now in effect. It is being updated
to address the rules set forth in the attached HUD notice and will be transmitted
to you by October 2, 1987. The transmittal date will allow you about 3 weeks
to review the agreement and obtain authorization (via City Council Resolution)
to execute the agreements. To stay within HUD's time frame, executed agreements
will need to be submitted to this office by October 23, 1987. Upon receipt,
and prior to HUD's November 9, 1987 deadline, the executed agreements will
be presented to the Board of Supervisors for approval.
,r
Please keep these dates in mind as you schedule City Attorney and City Council
reviews. It is critical that we receive completed documents from you by the
October 23 deadline.
For additional information on the County's CDBG Program, we invite you or your
designee to attend a meeting for the cooperating cities scheduled for October
2, 1987, 10:00 A.M. in the Citrus Room, County Government Center, Fifth Floor,
385 North Arrowhead Avenue, San Bernardino.
We look forward to working with you in a cooperative venture to meet the needs
of your City's low and moderate income households over the next three years.
If you have any questions, please call me at (714) 387-4594 or Mr. Douglas
Payne at (714) 387-4583.

Federal Fiscal Year 1988 urban county qualification process
in the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
I. General
This Notice establishes requirements, deadlines, and
general procedures to be followed in determining the
qualification of urban counties and joint recipients for
program years 1988 through 1990. It also states Departmental
policy regarding determinations of essential powers of urban
counties, provisions for split places and performance reviews
(of urban counties and joint recipients. Additionally, it
46Westablishes a schedule of actions required of urban counties to
qualify for entitlement status for Fiscal Years 1988 through
1990.
Standards for cooperation agreements are set forth at
section III. D. The standards contain additional requirements
pertaining to real property acquisition, disposition and
program income not generally contained in existing agreements.
Moreover, please note that language relative to compliance with
Civil Rights provisions has been revised to clarify the
Department's position regarding compliance with these and other
provisions. The new provisions are denoted in this Notice by
bold type. It is suggested that special attention be directed
to these new requirements and grantees be advised of the
additional required provisions that must be included in
cooperation agreements. A section has also been added to the
Notice describing certain legislation now pending and
suggesting how potentially affected counties should proceed.
This section is also flagged by bold type.

city in the urban county if grandfathering legislation is
enacted. Nevertheless, HUD will accept cooperation
agreements from such cities that contain a provision stating
that such agreement will not become effective if the
grandfathering provision is enacted prior to the official
allocation of CDBG funds for FY 1988.
B_ Deferral: Pending legislation would allow new metropolitan
cities —Co —defer their entitlement status in order to be part
of an urban county. If the pending legislation is not passed
certain cities will become new entitlement cities (including
several that would have become metropolitan cities three
years ago but that elected to defer such status under a now
defunct provision), and in some cases the respective urban
county will lose entitlement status. (Such cities and their
counties are identified in an attachment to this Notice.)
Affected urban counties may proceed to execute cooperation
agreements with any such units'of"local government on the
assumption that deferral legislation will be passed. Any
such agreements should contain a provision specifying that
the agreement will become effective only if a statutory
provision authorizing deferral of metropolitan city status
becomes enacted prior to the official allocation of the FY
1988 CDBG funds.
C. Urban County definition may be modified as a result of a
pending amendment that would allow any county with 200,000
potential combined population to qualify as an urban county
if its unincorporated population plus participating units
AW total a minimum of 50,000. Therefore, any county attempting
to qualify under the terms of this Notice that fails to
secure participation of the currently required 200,000
combined population by the established deadline, may submit
the documentation for those units that do wish to
participate, in the event that statutory change may by then
enable the county to qualify based on that population level
by the time the official allocation of FY 1988 CDBG funds is
made.
Counties potentially affected by the above described
pending legislation should initiate actions to fulfill the
requirements set forth in this Notice. They will be notified
in accordance with the schedule contained in this Notice,
taking into account any statutory amendments that may occur
before the official fund allocation is ready to be made.
3
undertake essential community development and housing
assistance activities or may do so only with the consent of
the governing body of the locality. HUD will count such a
unit towards qualification of the urban county only if the
county is authorized to undertake essential community
develoment and housing assistance activities with the consent
of the governing body of the locality and the county and the
unit of general local government have executed a cooperation
agreement to undertake, or assist in the undertaking of,
essential community development and housing assistance
activities. The county must submit cooperation agreements
meeting the standards set forth in paragraph III.D. of this
Notice to HUD by November 9, 1987.
4 B. Special rules for split places
If a unit of general local government is located only
partly within a county (a split place), the population of the
portion of the unit of general local government located outside
the county will not be included in that county for the purpose
of urban count qualification P
Y q (i.e., to reach the 200,000
Population threshold).
For the purpose of urban county grant computation, the
entire area of such a split place will be included as a part of
the urban county if:
1. The part of the split place located within the boundaries
of the county would otherwise be included in computing the
urban county's grant amount (i.e., that such unit of
general local government either does not elect to have its
Population excluded from the county, or enters into a
cooperation agreement with the urban county, as
applicable); and,
2. The part of the split place outside the boundaries of the
county is not included in calculating the grant amount for
any other unit of general local government entitled to a
Community Development Block Grant. Where a portion of a
split place located outside the county is included in the
urban county for grant computation purposes, that area
shall be included in the housing conditions, needs and
goals established in the Housing Assistance Plan (HAP) for
that urban county. Counties seeking qualification as urban
counties and having units of _general local government
located only partly within the county must notify such
units of their applicable rights by September 18, 1987.
Specifically, the county must notify a split place with any
population located in the county that:
S
D. Cooperation agreements
Certain urban counties must enter into cooperation
agreements with certain units of general local government
located in whole or in part within the county (as described in
paragraph III. A. and B.) in order for such units to be
included as part of the urban county. Such counties must
submit to HUD executed cooperation agreements, together with
evidence of authorization by the governing bodies of both
parties (county and included unit), executed by the proper
officials not later than November 9, 1987. These cooperation
agreements must allow the county to undertake or assist in
undertaking essential community development and housing
assistance activities, and should clearly state that the county
has final responsibility for selecting activities and annually
filing Final Statements with HUD. All such cooperation
agreements must meet the following standards in order to be
acceptable for this purpose:
1. The agreements must give the county authority to carry out
activities which will be funded from annual CD Block Grants
from Federal Fiscal Years 1988, 1989 and 1990
appropriations and from any program income generated from
the expenditure of such funds.
2. The agreements must state expressly that the county and the
cooperating unit of general local government agree to
4W "cooperate to undertake, or assist in undertaking,
community renewal and lower income housing assistance
activities, specifically urban renewal and publicly
assisted housing." As an alternative to this wording, the
cooperation agreements may reference State legislation
authorizing such activities, but only with the approval of
the specific alternative wording by counsel of the
appropriate HUD Field Office.
3. HUD shall not accept any agreement which contains a
provision for veto or other restriction which would allow
any party to the agreement to obstruct the implementation
of the approved HAP during the three program years for
which the county qualifies as an urban county and for such
additional time as may be required for the expenditure of
funds granted to the county for such period.
4. HUD shall not accept any agreement which contains a
provision for termination or withdrawal by the county or
the cooperating unit of general local government, except as
specifically authorized under Section II, Effects of
Pending Legislation.
7
d_ That the county has the responsibility for monitoring
and reporting to HUD on the use of any such program
income thereby requiring appropriate recordkeeping
and reporting by the participating unit as may be
needed for this purpose; and,
e_ That in the event of close-out or change in status
of the participating unit, any program income that is
on hand or received subsequent to the close-out or
change in status shall be paid to the county.
9. The Cooperation Agreement shall include provisions setting
forth the standards which shall apply to real property
acquired or improved in whole or in part using CDBG funds
that is within the control of a participating unit of
general local government. The standards must include:
a. The timely notification of the county by the
participating unit of local government for any
modification or change in the use'•of the real
property from that planned at the time of acquisition
or improvement including disposition;
b. Provision for reimbursing the county in an amount
equal to the current fair market value (less any
portion thereof attributable to expenditures of non-
CDBG funds) of property acquired or improved with
CDBG funds that is sold or transfered for a use which
does not qualify under the CDBG regulations; and,
C. Treatment of program income generated from the
disposition or transfer of property prior to or
subsequent to the close-out, change of status or
termination of the cooperation agreement between the
county and the participating unit.
A county may also include in the cooperation agreement any
provisions authorized by State and local laws which legally
obligate the cooperating units to undertake the necessary
actions, as determined by the county, to carry out a community
development program and the approved
requirements of the CDBG program and HAP,
otheraappli meet other
plicable laws.
E. Qualification documentation
By November 9, 1987 a county wishing to qualify as an
urban county tor Fiscal Year 1988 must submit to the
responsible HUD Field Office:
W
pertaining to each urban county are available in
Headquarters. Under separate cover the CPD Data Systems and
Statistics Division will supply Field Offices with instructions
and worksheets necessary to report which units of government
are to be included in urban counties.
By December 18, 1987, Data Systems will return the printed
updated urban county worksheets to the Field Offices with a
cover memorandum notifying the Field Office of any
discrepancies, problems or questions. The Field Office will be
asked to verify the data and respond to Data Systems within
seven days if a problem exists with the data.
CPD Headquarters will complete its review of all
qualification information by December 18, 1987, and as soon as
possible thereafter will, through the applicable Field Office,
notify each county seeking to qualify as an urban county (1 )
whether or not the county qualifies as an urban county, (2) the
three-year period for which the county qualifies as an urban
county, (3) which communities are included in the urban county
for the three years of qualification, and (4) which communities
have properly elected not to be included in the urban county
for the three years of qualification. Similar information
shall be supplied by the Field Offices to appropriate State
agencies where States are administering the CDBG program for
nonentitled communities.
G. Period of qualification
Any county which qualifies as an urban county will be
entitled to receive funds as an urban county for three
successive Fiscal Years regardless of changes in its population
or the metropolitan city status of any portion of the urban
county during that period, unless the urban county does not
receive a grant for any year during such period. For grant
calculation, during the three-year period of qualification, no
included unit of general local government may withdraw from the
urban county, and no additional geographical area may be newly
included in the urban county, except that a unit of general
local government which loses designation as a metropolitan city
may join a previously existing urban county in which it is
located starting in the Fiscal Year for which it first fails to
be designated as a metropolitan city. Any unincorporated
portion of the county which incorporates during the three year
urban county qualification period will remain a part of the
urban county through the end of that three year period.
Any unit of general local government which is part of an
urban county will continue to be included in the urban county
for that county's three-year qualification period even if it is
11
6. By November 23, 1987 Field Office Counsel will have
complete rev' ews__0T cooperation agreements and
certified that they meet the requirements of paragraph
III. D.
7- By November 23, 1987 Field Offices will concurrently
forward a complete marked -up copy of the urban county
status worksheet to participating counties and to the
CPD Data Systems and Statistics Division in
Headquarters for verification of the data that will be
used in the allocation process.
8. By December 18, 1987 Headquarters will
complete
review or the marke -up urban county status worksheet
and return the printed updated worksheet to Field
Offices with a cover memorandum notifying the Field
Office of any apparent discrepancies, problems or
questions. The Field Office will be asked to verify
the data and respond to Data Systems within seven days
if a problem exists.
9. By December 28, 1987 or as soon as possible thereafter,
File-Lu Orrices shall notify each county seeking to
qualify as an urban county of its urban county status
for Fiscal Years 1988 through 1990.
to IV. METROPOLITAN CITY/URBAN COUNTY JOINT RECIPIENTS
A. Joint requests and cooperation agreements
Any urban county and any metropolitan city located, in
whole or in part, within that county can request HUD to
approve the inclusion of the metropolitan city as a part of
the urban county for purposes of planning and implementing a
joint community development and housing assistance program.
HUD will consider approving such a joint request only if
submitted at the time the county is seeking its three-year
qualification as an urban county. Field Offices approving
such joint requests shall identify the participating
metropolitan city as a part of the urban county on the
applicable urban county worksheet submitted to the CPD
Division of Data Systems and Statistics. Metropolitan cities
and urban counties thus forming a joint recipient must submit
cooperation agreements for HUD approval which must meet the
standards in paragraph III. D. of this Notice. An arr
ovd
joint request must remain effective for the period forwhicch
the county qualifies as an urban count
be joined by more than one metropolitan city,urbbutnacounty may
metropolitan city located in more than one urban county may
13
Year 1988 may continue to receive grants based on a previously
approved HAP. HUD will not approve an annual HAP goal for 1988
which is not submitted together with a new three-year HAP for
any urban county which consists of a different configuration
than that reflected in the previously approved three-year HAP.
The HAP submitted by a joint recipient must include the
metropolitan city as well as the urban county. Any HAP which
is currently in effect for any metropolitan city which joins an
urban county will be superseded by the joint three-year HAP
required under this paragraph. In preparing its HAP, the urban
4 county should consider unmet needs and goals in any such
superseded HAP and should make appropriate adjustments to
account for housing assistance previously provided under such a
HAP.
VI- URBAN COUNTY PROGRAM RESPONSIBILITIES
The county, as the grant recipient (either for the urban
county or a joint recipient), has full responsibility for the
execution of the community development and housing assistance
programs and for meeting the requirements of other applicable
laws (for example, meeting the requirements of E.O. 11988 and
E.O. 12372). The county's responsibility must include these
functions even where, as a matter of administrative convenience
or State law, the county permits the participating units of
general local government to carry out essential community
+development and housing assistance activities. The county will
be held responsible for the accomplishment of the community
development program and the housing assistance goals and for
ensuring that actions necessary for such accomplishment are
taken by cooperating units of general local government. In
this context, the chief executive officer of the county will be
the responsible official under the provisions of 24 CFR 791
relating to local review and comment on HUD assisted rental
housing applications.

Dear
`,'nur Honor
As we discussed recently, this is to confirm and varify
that the Riverside Sheriffs Association is publishing the " Teen Suicide,
Missing Children, and Child Abuse Prevention Manual." A minimum of 5,000
copies will be distributed, more if needed and support is generated. The
aim is to educate and prevent child abuse, teen suicide, and to help find
the missing children.
To make this project work, we are asking you and other
local businesses who care about Riverside County and its people to sponsor
an ad space in the manual. This will enable us to publish and distribute
these manuals, and will clearly identify you as a supporter of this project
and your Riverside Sheriffs Association.
410 Frankly, we need your support. We felt if you were
aware of what we are doing, we could count on you this year. If we could
save one life with this program, we would all benefit.
We will be calling you later this week or early next
week to help you in placing your ad, or you may call us at the number list-
ed below. You are a true friend of law enforcement.

Sincerely,
Ton Hardy

should be told they have the right to say no if any adult tries
to touch them in ways that make them feel uncomfortable
They should also be encuuraged to tell an adult they trust if
anyone tries to touch them in this way
Children should also be encouraged to ask for help if
someone is physically abusing them Additionally, we can
all be alert for signs of increasing stress and increasing
"loss of control" or "overdisciplining" with children By get-
ting services such as child care, respite care, parent aides,
parenting education, and counseling to parents in these
stages, we can prevent abuse from happening
Sometimes, we can prevent abuse just by helping out
friends and relatives going through difficult times:
• Offer to watch a friend's children for an afternoon or
evening so she/he can have a break, look for a job,
etc
• Offer emotional support to a parent in stress (go by for
a visit, call to listen, etc )
• Let them know you have trouble being a parent some-
times too.
• Tell them about services in the community (see
below).
The prevention of child abuse cannot be done just by the
"official agencies" or "somebody else." Child abuse is a
problem that affects us all. We must all be part of the
solution Each of us can be part of the solution.

child abuse and neglect These behaviors may exist inde-
pendent or of in conjunction with physical indicators
The following are some of the behaviors which may be
associated with physical abuse. If the child:

will often avoid it, sometimes even shrinking at the touch
or approach or an adult )

other people say and do things to him/her without pro-
test
is frequently late or absent or often comes to school
much too early; hangs around after school is dismissed
wears long sleeves or other concealing clothing to hide
injuries

believable, doesn't seem to fit the type or seriousness of
the injury observed
shows little or no distress at being separated from pa-
rents
apt to seek affection from any adult

the crime must testify and the criminal must be prosecuted.

Singley suggested maybe the Committees could design a fence or road
barrior, more lights etc. to make the park less of an attraction to the
trouble makers.

her committee and then the Parks and Recreation Committee could come bac
to the Crime Prevention Committee with a recommendation so that the Crime
Prevention Committee may take it to the City Counsel.

Prevention Officer's and the Committees goals are for the 87-88 term.
Korgan reported that the Sheriffs Department paid to send her to the

► p► �: _.:
PROBLEM_
As an advisory City sanctioned Committee, the Parks 8
Recreation Committee should be included in the
Consultants initial plans for parks PRIOR to the plan
being reviewed by the general public.
Facts•
Parks 9 Recreation Committee submitted a needs
analysis report to the Planning Director to be
forwarded to the Consultant. Council directed
Planning Director to keep Committee abreast of
Consultants thoughts and plans for parks. Committee
was notified as of 9-21-87 that Consultant has not
formalized his thoughts on paper yet concerning
plans.
Facts II.
With the General plan update slated for public debate
in October, it would seem the Consultant should have
formalized, if not detailed ideas, about Grand
Terrace and its' Parks. This Committee feels
strongly that the Committee should be notified of
Consultant's intentions prior to the General Public
viewing of the General Plan.
ALTERNATIVES
Present General Plan update to Community of Grand
Terrace without an adivisory Committees' review and
input.
SOLUTION•
1. Request that Consultant allow Committee
opportunity to review General Plan as it relates to
Parks prior to Community perusal/comment period.
2. By-pass Committee input.
Accept Alternative #1 above.

PROBLEM:
T.J. Austyn has submitted a proposed park development
for the greenbelt for City/Committee review.
T.J. Austyn has submitted a plan for review for
developing the greenbelt over the California
Aqueduct. The plans, as drawn, were adequate and met
Council requirement as set forth with T.J. Austyn
originally in 1986.
Facts II:
Committee has reservations with proposed drawing due
to the minimum number of benches and n❑ equipment
provided by T.J. Austyn for Tot Lot. The City will
have to pick up the cost of these amenities. This
Committee strongly feels an additional $20,000 may be
necessary to have a usable greenbelt and to avoid the
problem of unusable land that developed with the
Griffin Park Site.
Develop proposed site int❑ a street.
1. Accept the proposal as drawn, realizing it will
take additional funds to complete the area with
equipment.
2. Request T.J. Austyn to upgrade park to include
City approved equipment.
3. Pave over the area and make a street

Attention: Barbara Conley
Chairperson
Dear Barbara,
Due to increasing time commitments involving my work, personal
life and church involvement I feel it best that I resign from
the Parks and Recreation Committee effective October 1, 1987.
Although I could make a majority of the upcomming monthly
meetings, I would not be satisfied that I was an effective
member. I realize that this is not the most opportune time
to resign because of the inactivity of other members, but
it must be done now.
I have enjoyed working on the committee and with the City
Council during the several years that I have served on the
Committee. Hopefully, new blodd will help revitalize the
Committee.
Sincerely,

CHAIRMAN CAOUETTE OPENED THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AT 7:00
P.M.
Applicant/Stephen Fox
CG Engineering
TPM-87-5
The Planning Director presented the staff report on the
revised plan for this parcel map. The item was
continued after denial on a four lot subdivision. It
was now resubmitted to the Planning Commission for a
three lot subdivision. He presented the reviewing
agencies recommendations.
Chairman Caouette opened discussion from the Planning
Commission.
Commissioner Van Gelder asked if the dedication of Pico
Street was included in this revised plan.
The Planning Director stated that the conditions do not
include the dedication for street frontage on either
Pico Street or. Blue Mountain Court.
Commissioner Sims referred to the conditions submitted
by the City Engineer.. The City Engineer., he mentioned,
had indicated the dedication of 30'f_or right of way.
The City Engineer clarified that the conditions were
based on the original parcel map, 4 lots, with 1 lot
fronting on Blue Mountain Court. He stated that the
applicant would not take access on Blue Mountain Court.
If in fact the applicant did take access he would have
to negotiate with the property owners that owned that
street. He referred to his recommendations on his
memorandum stating that item 3B and item 4B be deleted,
specifically the offer of dedication of right of way
30' to the east of Blue Mountain Court. That street
should remain a private street.
Commissioner Sims asked how the grading in this site
compares to the surrounding areas.
The Planning Director stated that the surrounding areas
to the south and the west were a slight slope and goes
up the hillside and the greater slope to the east.
-1-
He mentioned in order to fit three lots here, staf_t
felt that the grading that would have to be done would
intensify the topographical impact on the building
sites. Staff recommended a denial on three, but said
it would be appropriate for a two lot split.
Commissioner Munson expressed concern for the traffic
impact on Blue Mountain Court.
The Planning Director stated that since it was a
private road the City would not be responsible for
parking enforcement. It would be up to the owners to
deal with it as a private matter.
Commissioner Hargrave asked if the 3rd lot to the left
and grading change would have a significance on the
rain runoff down Pico Street.
The City Engineer stated that any rain runoff from
roofs and surfaces would have some significance but
could not convey at this time what the impact would be.
Commissioner Hargrave asked about the flood conditions
down Pico.
The City Engineer stated that at the vicinity of Pico
and Mt. Vernon the problems are about as compound as
anywhere else in the City.
Commissioner Sims mentioned that since the City
Engineer was revising his recommendations the lot
fronting Blue Mountain Court, southeast corner, would
increase approximately 4,000 sq. ft. If this map were
revised to reflect that situation and Blue Mountain
Court becomes a public street, he asked what impact
this would be to the City.
The City Engineer stated that it would be up to the
property owners of Blue Mountain Court and if thev
could show that thev could maintain the street- and
conform with City standards then they could dedicate
Blue Mountain Court as a public street. The City would
not be involved in the dedication or improvements to
that street.
The City Engineer stated that, if it goes as a private
street the 1t-0-A or setback is measured from the
existing easement. if thev think in terms of
considering Blue Mountain Court for dedication then
same should be considered at this time. lti,th the
parcel as it is being currently considered and the
requirements as we have expressed they would have
sufficient room for the R-O-A. The acceptance of the
-2-
i
right of way should be deleted right now.
The Planning Director stated that any huiidi.ng
dedication would be handled in the Site and
Architectural Review.
CHAIRMAN CAOUETTE OPENED THE PU13LIC HEARING.
David Boraquin
2627 S. Waterman Ave.
San Bernardino, CA.
CG Engineering
Mr. Boraquin was representing applicant/ Stephen Fox.
He presented the parcel map display. He stated that
with their previous request for parcel. map subdivision
being denied, their project was continued. He stated
that what they have done with their new map was to
increase the size of their lots. It was the
applicant's intention as a compromise, to increase the
lots and to have a different access avoiding impact on
the private road of Blue Mountain Court. It is the
applicant's purpose to comply with current standards.
Chairman Caouette asked for public reply in favor of
the project.
Stephen Fox
Bonnie View Dr.
Rialto, CA.
Owner of property
Mr. Fox stated that his project would uphold the value
of the area and stated he would be willing to comply
with the property owners desire to maintain appropriate
building standards.
Dennis Kidd

Mr. Kidd stated that he was opposed to the project due
to the size of the lots already in the vicinity and the
topography.

Mr. Stein was the representative of the property owners

in that area. He stated that they agreed with the
staff report and were in opposition to the project.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
CHAIRMAN CAOUETTE OPENED DISCUSSION BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Chairman Caouette asked the Planning Director to review
the overall history of the project from the start.
fhe Planning Director gave a brief description of the
parcel map and the status presentiv of the project. He
obw explained the present zoning and the upcoming changes
and their effect on the area.
Commissioner Munson asked of the City Engineer the
water title for that area.
The City Engineer referred to the map and explained the
location of the water line in surrounding areas. He
was unable to clearly define the water line location
for the parcel map.
Commissioner Hargrave referred to the southside of Pico
Street and the asphalt berm that runs along the street.
The City Engineer reaffirmed this, stating there was a
curb which came up to the easterly property which is to
the west of the property in question. There is a berm
which runs south, not in the best condition but there
is a berm.
Commissioner. Hargrave asked if during the General Plan
Revision they might look at rezoning that area to try
to retain the character of the area to larger acreage
or larger lots.
The Planning Director stated that be what starf would
recommend.
Chairman Caouette stated that there are questions on
suitability and grading.
Commissioner Hargrave stated on the subject of grading
that the City Engineer seemed very comfortable with the
project. He directed a question to the Planning
Director for his objection to the grading.
The Planning Director stated that visualizing the

FROM: David Sawyer, Planning Director
DATE: September 8, 1987
SUBJECT: Staff Reports, Z-87-3, GP 87-3 and SA-87-8
APPLICANT: CDS Engineering
LOCATION: 22325 Barton Road
BACKGROUND
On September 16, 1985, the Planning Commission approved CUP-85-9
and SA-85-9 permitting an 88 unit retirement hotel to be built on
the site subject to certain Conditions of Approval, see
Attachment "A". Construction is now in progress at the site.
Prior to the completion of the project, the applicant must submit
for approval, a detailed landscaping/parking plan.
The applicant is now requesting a modification of the site plan
to include a 5,000 sq.ft. commercial structure fronting on Barton
Road and a redesigned parking layout. The revised parking layout
includes property to the south of the retirement hotel which was
previously not a part of this project. In order to include this
property in the project a General Plan amendment and a Zoning
Ordinance amendment is required. The addition of the commercial
structure requires additional site and architectural review.
Revised plans are included in your packet for review. Color
renderings of the project will be displayed at the meeting.
The applicant is requesting a total of three actions tonight, one
from the Site and Architectural Review Board and two from the
Planning Commission. Although these are separate actions, Staff
has combined these items into one staff report and your
Commission should consider all of the related issues at this
time.

DISCUSSION
Site and Architectural Review
Approval of the revised site plans which include the addition of
a 5,000 sq.ft. commercial structure and a revised parking plan.
The design elements of the proposed structure are intended to
match that of the hotel. The buildings are white stucco with red
and blue trim. The roof is a spanish adobe style concrete
shingle. The applicant is proposing five 1,000 sq. ft. shops to
be located in the proposed structure.
General Plan and_Zoning_Ordinance _Amendments
In order for the applicant to build according to his revised
plans a General Plan Amendment is necessary. This is because
the original southern property line is the dividing line between
the General Commercial and Medium Density Residential General
Plan Designations as well as the line between the C-2 and R-3
Zones. Moving the parking to the South of the hotel pushes the
project across this line will effectively cross the line between
the two designations. Therefore, the applicant needs to change
this parking area from MDR to GC on the General Plan Map and from
11-3 to C-2 on the Zoning Map.. Currently, this area is occupied
by a portion of the apartment complex owned by the applicant
located to the south. The applicant intends to demolish this
portion of the apartment complex.
Parking
Moving the parking behind the Hotel is a change that will promote
a safer living environment for the residents of the Hotel by
reducing a dangerous pedestrian and vehicular conflict in the
previous parking layout. There are, however, some problems that
need to be resolved. There is insufficient parking for the
residents and staff, see Conditions of Approval, Attachment "A".
These Conditions state that there must be one parking space per
unit and one per employee. There are 88 units in the Hotel and
the applicant has informed us that there is estimated to be
between 10 and 15 employees. Therefore, at a minimum, the
applicant needs to provide 100 parking spaces (88 + 12). In
addition, according to City Code, there must be 4 loading spaces
provided. The proposed site plan shows 84 acceptable parking
spaces to the south and to the east of the Hotel.
The site plan provides 27 acceptable parking spaces for the
commercial structure. Several of the parking places indicated on
the site plan do not meet code requirements. The current parking
requirements for the commercial structure is 34, seven more than aw are legally provided on the site plan. Overall, the revised
project requires 138 parking spaces with III legal parking spaces
shown on the site plan. This is a shortage of 27 parking spaces
or twenty percent of the required parking spaces.
En zneerin Issues
The City Engineer has reviewed the revised site plan and
recommended several conditions of approval which are included in
a Memo dated September 2, 1987 and included with this report as
Attachment B.
RECOMMENDATIONS
SA-87-8
Based on the fact that the project does not meet the previously
approved conditions of CUP-85-9 and the requirements of Chapter
18.60 of the Grand Terrace Municipal code, dealing with off-
street parking requirements, the Planning Department recommends
the Planning Commission deny SA-87-8 as submitted.
An alternative to this recommendation is to continue this item
until the applicant resubmits a revised site plan which is in
conformance with the City's parking regulations and which meets
the recommended requirements of the City Engineer's memo
(Attachment B).
GII-87-3 AND Z-87-3
If the Planning Commission Denies SA-87-8, the Planning
Department recommends the Planning Commission ask the applicant
if he wishes to withdraw their applications for GP-87-3 and Z-87-
3.
if the Planning Commission continues SA-87-8, the Planning
Department recommends the Planning Commission continue GP-87-3
and Z-87-3 until the applicant resubmits SA-87-8.

He stated that when this project came before the
Planning Commission one of the conditions of the
CUP was that there he, one per each employee, and
one per each unit. There is flexibility in the
code but was not used.
Commissioner Hargrave recalled the original -
project . The two problems thev had with the
parking on the project at that time were the
required amount of spaces and the location of the
parking lot or. i gi_na 1. l y.
Commissioner Hargrave asked of Mr. Pairner it there
was any way- to make parking availahie to the north
of the retirement home.

Commissioner Hargrave stated that unless thev can
find specific documentation on the variance for
property requirements then he did not see any
reason to exempt the applicant from parking
requirements for the retirement hotel.
Commissioner Van Gelder asked the Planning
Di.recior to research this issue for the Planning
Commission.

The Planning Director stated that they could
research this but in preparation for the meeting
he did not find anv exemptions and the Clip
re(Tuirements are still in effect. lit order to

BACKGROUND:
On September 21, 1987, the Planning Commission considered 7PI-87-
7, an application from Mr. Steve Fox to subdivide a l.1 acre lot
into three individual single familv lots. At that meeting, the
Planning Commission denied the application based on the fact that
due to the topography of the site and the required grading, the
site is not suitable for the proposed density of development.
The applicant has since appealed that decision to your Council
and is before you tonight (see Attachment B).

I'he subject Property is located at the Southeast Corner of Pico

is surrounded on three sides by developed A-1 zoned property,

which allows lots with a minimum of 43,560 Square feet and
agricultural uses. The su1)iect property is zoned R-l, which
allows lots with a minimum of 7,200 square feet of area.
On August 17, 1987, 1Te applicant requested the Planning
Commission to divide this same parcel into four lots. phis
request was continued by the Planning Commission with the approval
of the applicant until after- the General Plan and "Zoning Ordinance
revisions are completed for this area. The applicant has since
requested the Planning Commission to consider a revised version of
the tentative map prior to the upcoming hearings.
DISCUSSION
The Applicant is currently requesting the Planning Commission to
consider a revision of the proposed map creating a three lot
subdivision with one 14,255 sq. ft. lot and two 14,235 sq. ft.
lots, all three of which front on Pico Street (see Attachment H).
Under current minimum lot size regulations these lots are
permissable, however., as was discussed during the previous hearing
for this property, it is anticipated that during the upcoming
General Plan and 'honing Ordinance revision , this property will he
recommended for a zone change to the A-i (R1-40) or the R-1-20
residential designation to better blend with the surrounding
zoning and land use.
During the previous hearings on this map, substantial opposition
was voiced by property owners in the neighborhood r.egaroing the
splitting of this property into four lots, several of thorn
indicated that a compromise of two lots would be acceptable. in
reviewing the sub iect sire, its topography and its surrounding
land uses, staff feels that a suhdivi.sion of this property
creating two iots could be appropriate. Due to the topography oi-
the site, -the creation of three lots would require substantial
grading to create a pad for the most easterly proposed lot.
Limiting the subdivision to two lots would eliminate the need for
much of the grading thus allowing the site to blend better with
the neighboring properties both physicaiiv with relation to land
contours and with relation to the density of development.
Attached as Attachment C are the recommended conditions of
approval submitted by the City Engineer if the Planning Commission
should approve this application.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Department recommends the Planning Commission adopt
the attached resolution (Attachment A) denying TPM-87-5 based on
the findings stated in said resolution.

C R A ITEM ( ) COUNCIL ITEM ( ) MEETING DATE:
AGENDA ITEM NO.
Considered Fxtension for T.J. Austyn Tentative
SUBJECT Tract Map 13050
FUNDING REQUIRED
NO FUNDING REQUIRED ✓
BACKGROUND:
On August 5, 1985,.the Planning Commission recommended approval
of Tentative 'Tract. Map 13050 and Specific Plan 85-10 to the City
Council and on September 1.2, 1985, the City Council approved both
items. Tn accordance with the California State Map Act the
approval of Tentative Tract Map 13050 was set to expire on
September 12, 1987. Consequently, staff received a letter from
the applicant, T.J. Austyn, Inc. requesting a one vear extension
of said Map (see Attachment A).
On August 17, 1987, the Planning Commission recommended the Citv
Council approve the applicant's request for a one-year extension.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant is actually requesting a one-year extension on only
a portion of TM 13050, this portion being phases 5,6, and 7 as
illustrated on Attachment B. Phases 1,2,3 and 4 which have been
sold by T.J. Austvn to Fieldcrest Homes have received final map
approval and are currently under construction.
The California State Map Act allows the Citv Council to extend
the approval of a tentative map for a period of time up to three
vears from the original expiration date. tipon application for an
extension by the subdivider prior to the expiration date, the
tentative map automatically receives a 60 day extension or until
such time the Citv Council either approves or denies the
application, whichever occurs first.
As illustrated on Attachment ( ' the subiect area is located
hetween current I v deve 1 oped R- l propert v ( mini mum 7,200 s(r . f t .
lots) to the west, A-1 zoned property (minimum 43,5oo -;q. ti.
lots with allowed agricultural uses) along with nublic ()pen space
to the east, both R-1 and A-1 zoned property to the soulh and R-1
zoned property to the north. 'Fhe existing land uses for these
properties are illustrated on Attachment 1). The subiect property
is currently zoned R-1 as it was at the time of the tentative map
and specific plan approval in 1985. However, considering the
subject property's location between two significantly different
residential landuse designations, it would he appropriate that
there be some type of buffer area between the two residential
zones (R-1 and A-1). The current zoning for this area does not
provide for. this.
The upcoming General Plan and 'Zoning Ordinances revision for this
area will be considering this issue and a change of land use
designations is a possible recommendation.
At that time the City Council may decide that a change of zoning
(to R-1-20 for instance) may be appropriate for certain
properties in this area including a portion if not all of the
land contained in TM 13050 phases 5,6, and 7. If this is the
case, the Council now has the opportunity to deny the requested
extension and prevent the development of this land at the higher
density and smaller lot design. If the map is extended for the
requested year, it is possible that the subdivider will move
forward with his plans to file a final map, and the property will
be developed as it is currently planned.
RECOMMENDATION:
As a result of preliminary research, staff feels that the concept
of rezoning some of this area does have some merit and warrants
OAW further analysis and should be considered during the upcoming
Zoning Ordinance Revision. If the Council agrees with staff that
the issue of rezoning some of this area to a larger lot
requirement such as the R-1-20 zoning should be considered during
the 'Zoning Ordinance Revision hearings, Staff recommends the City
Council consider one of the following three alternatives:
ALTERNATIVE ONE. - deny the request for an extension of TM
13050 phases 5,6, and 7 thereby forcing a new tentative map
to be filed which if filed after the Zoning Revision will
need to meet the requirements of the revised 'Zoning
Ordinance.
ALTERNATIVE TWO - approve an extension of. TM 13050 phases
516 and7 until after the Zoning Ordinance is revised K
month extension). After which, if the zoning remains the
same, a longer extension may be granted. This alternative
does allow the subdivider time to submit a final neap and
obtain building permits prior to the time the zoning issue
is decided.
ALTERNATIVE THREE - approve a 4 month extension of 1M 11050
phases 5 and o and deny the extension of phase 7. This
alternative will ensure that phase 7, which extends
southward into the area of larger parcels and undivided
acreage, will not be developed at the smaller lot si;Ps
before the zoning issue is decided. It also allows the
subdivider a window of time to prepare a final map ror
phases 5 and 6 j)rior to the zoning ordinance hearing's whicii
will dictate whether or not phases 5 and 6 should he
extended or denied at the end of the 4 month extension
period.
If the Citv Council decides that the issue of rezoning portions
AW of this area should not be considered during the upcoming zoning
hearings or that the area of land covered by TM 1.3050 should not
be considered for rezoning during the hearings the City Council
may choose the following alternative:
ALTERNATIVE FOUR - approve a one-year extension of Tit 13u50
phases 5,6 and 7 as requested.
