2. REQUEST TO WAIVE REQUIREMENTS TO CONSTRUCT SIDEWALK AT 2512-
2522 CHAMBERS ROAD (CRESTMARK REAL ESTATE AND INVESTMENTS)
XI. NEW BUSINESS (Agenda Order)
1. REQUEST TO WAIVE REQUIREMENTS TO CONSTRUCT SIDEWALK AT 14511
MYFORD ROAD (SILICON SYSTEMS)
Robert Ledendecker, Director of Public Works, reported that
Crestmark Real Estate and Investments requested the City waive
the requirement to construct a sidewalk in the public right-
of-way adjacent to their building located at 2512-2522
Chambers Road. At the August 3, 1992 Council meeting, this
item was continued and upon Council's request, staff
investigated the parkway landscaping and learned that sod,
flower cover, and ground cover adjacent the driveways had been
replaced several months ago, and no trees would require
removal.
The following member of the audience spoke in opposition to
the sidewalk requirement policy:
Jerold Dworkin, Silicon Systems representative
Mayor Pro Tem Potts said he favored placing a moratorium on
the sidewalk requirement within the industrial areas for a
designated period of time or until the recession was resolved.
Councilmember Saltarelli stated creation of an assessment
.-. district was an alternative to raise revenue for sidewalk
construction; however, he believed staff should study this
issue in greater detail. He said he was concerned with
companies who had already installed sidewalks being assessed
fairly; encouraged businesses to examine sidewalk installation
from a liability standpoint; questioned if CC&Rs exist for
that area; and cautioned that implementing an assessment
district should be done carefully.
Mayor Pontious requested additional information regarding
formation of an assessment district.
Mayor Pro Tem Potts' motion to place a moratorium on the
sidewalk requirement within the industrial areas until the
recession was resolved died for lack of a second.
William Huston, City Manager, recommended that if the Council
placed a moratorium on the sidewalk requirement, to defer
instead of waive dedication requirements. He stated staff
would submit a report in 120 days addressing formation of an
assessment district.
Councilmember Saltarelli agreed that the sidewalk requirement
should not be eliminated because of the safety factor.
It was moved by Potts, seconded by Thomas, to defer the
sidewalk requirement and staff to submit a report in 120 days
on establishment of an assessment district.
Motion carried 5-0.
730-25
Christine Shingleton, Assistant City Manager, noted that this
action would not delay issuance of building permits; however,
applicants would be required to sign an agreement deferring
the sidewalk installation requirement until Council action.
Council/staff discussion followed regarding releasing bonds;
and holding future requests for sidewalk waiver until staff
report was submitted.

Christine Shingleton, Assistant City Manager,: summarized the
background of the Irvine Business Complex project including
the Draft Environmental Impact Reports (DEIR); traffic shares
study; circulation/traffic impacts; widening of Red Hill
Avenue; MOU with the City of Irvine; and revisions to the
project. She stated that comments on the third DEIR were due
on September 21, 1992 and the City had drafted a memo to the
City of Irvine addressing the City's concerns regarding the
project. She further stated that because City of Irvine staff
had been unresponsive to concerns raised by staff, she
believed a meeting between members of the councils would be
beneficial.
Councilmember Thomas said that the City of Irvine resistance
to the City's concerns was caused by their financial
shortfalls and the inability to obtain money for the project.
William Huston, City Manager, suggested that designation of
a Council committee should be formed immediately due to time
constraints.
Council/staff discussion followed regarding whether the other
cities should be invited to join the committee.
Councilmember Saltarelli said he supported moving quickly on
this matter before the Growth Management Area funds were spent
on the SR -55 freeway overpasses.
Councilmember Puckett stated that in the past the City and the
City of Irvine had met to resolve problems and he was
supportive of forming a committee on this issue.
Mayor Pro Tem Potts noted his concerns regarding Red Hill
widening; increased passenger train crossing on Red Hill
Avenue; construction of a bridge over Tustin Ranch; Newport
Avenue undercrossing, and future emergency traffic through the
City.
It was moved by Puckett, seconded by Thomas, to authorize
staff to transmit comments and response to the City of Irvine
on the Irvine Business Complex (IBC) project; and form a
Council committee to meet with City of Irvine Council and
staff.
Motion carried 5-0. 150-10
Mayor Pontious and Councilmember Thomas volunteered to serve
on the committee.
4. STATUS OF GREAT WESTERN RECLAMATION REFUND
The following member of the audience spoke in favor of
returning the Great Western Reclamation refund to residents:
Al Shifberg-Mencher, 16282 Main Street #3B, Tustin
Ronald Nault, Director of Finance, reported this item was
continued from the August 3, 1992 Council meeting. He stated
that if the Council directed staff to refund the approximate
$15.50 per unit, 7,000 checks would be issued requiring
additional computer programming, outside handling and postage
for a total estimated cost of $4,700.00.
Council/staff discussion followed regarding the timeline cycle
to reduce the current trash rates.
Mayor Pro Tem Potts said he was opposed to the City spending
$.70 per $15.50 refund check.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 9, 9-8-92
William Huston, City Manager, clarified that the current
residential trash collection rates were "locked in" on the
County of Orange tax roll, and any refund costs would be at
City expense.
It was moved by Puckett, seconded by Potts, to hold the Great
Western Reclamation refund in a trust account.
