PROPOSED ADOPTION OF UPDATED EDITIONS OF MODEL CONSTRUCTION CODES WITH LOCAL MODIFICATIONS 2. PROPOSED ADOPTION OF UPDATED EDITION OF UNIFORM FIRE CODE WITH LOCAL MODIFICATIONS Christine Shingleton, Director of Community Development, reported that the model construction codes were rewritten on a three-year interval as required by State law and the codes were reviewed and approved by the International Conference of Building Officials. She proposed minor amendments to the model codes to address local CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 2, 1-15-90 conditions, administrative procedures and to maintain compatibility with the City's existing and proposed Fire Code. She reported that staff had not taken a position on the Fire Department's request that a modified automatic sprinkler system be installed throughout all one and two-family residences and, if Council wished to take a position supporting the Fire Department's recommendation, an amendment to Ordinance No. 1043 could be added prior to first reading. She noted that the Model Construction Codes and Uniform Fire Code Public Hearings could be heard as one issue. Mayor Edgar opened the Public Hearings at 7:11 p.m. The following member of the audience spoke in opposition to mandating the installation of fire sprinkler systems: Tom Daley, Orange County Building Industry Association Will Wright, Fire Marshall, Orange County Fire Department, spoke at the request of Mayor Edgar and recapped the workshop that had previously taken place citing the importance of the Fire Department's request for fire sprinklers in single family homes. There were no other speakers on the subject and the Public Hearing was closed at 7:23 p.m. Councilman Kelly stated his opposition to several aspects of the codes. Christine Shingleton clarified the amendments had been in place since 1979 and there were no new changes to these amendments. This action was readoption of update portions of the 1988 edition of the Codes. Councilman Kelly stated he felt it was unnecessary to require all exterior wood doors be of solid core construction. Council/staff discussion followed regarding exterior wooden doors. It was moved by Kelly, seconded by Prescott, to eliminate paragraph No. 1(a) of Section 4111 from Ordinance No. 1043 regarding solid core construction for wooden exterior doors. The following member of the audience addressed the Council regarding concerns raised by Councilman Kelly: Scott Fazekas, representing BSI Consultants- Council/speaker/staff discussion followed regarding use of material other than wood for construction of exterior doors and energy conservation requirements. The motion failed 1-3, Edgar, Kennedy, Prescott opposed.

The motion failed 1-3, Edgar, Kennedy, Prescott opposed. It was moved by Kelly, seconded by Prescott, to eliminate paragraph No. 1(e) of Section 4111 from Ordinance No. 1043, regarding front exterior doors equipped with wide angle door viewers. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 3, 1-15-90 The motion failed 1-3, Edgar, Kennedy, Prescott opposed. Councilman Kelly requested paragraph (a) of Section 320 from Ordinance No. 1043 be changed to increase fence height surrounding swimming pools/spas to more than (5) feet for safety reasons. Council/staff discussion followed regarding necessary height of subject fences. Mayor Edgar stated it was important to note that these Ordinances were an upgrading that was done on a regular basis and it was appropriate for the Council to acknowledge the upgrades so the Building Code was as current as the National Code. He cited examples where, in some cases, the City Code was more restrictive or had differences as deemed appropriate by the Council. He supported the Ordinances and noted the expanded definition of mandatory sprinkler locations. The Council was now being asked by the Fire Department to consider further expansion by mandating individual sprinklers in single family residences. There was no staff recommendation on this item and the Ordinance did not mandate single family fire sprinklers. Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy reported on the brief film shown earlier by the Fire Department and the Fire Chief spoke to the Council as to whether the City should require all new homes to be piped for a sprinkler system. The cost would be $1.00 per square foot and would be added on to the cost of a home. She suggested offering the home buyer the option of installing pipes for a sprinkler system. Councilman Kelly thought the City would be out of bounds by such enforcement and he could not support mandating this feature for a new home buyer. The following member of the audience spoke in favor of sprinkler systems: Zipora Shifberg-Mencher, 16282 Main St., #3B, Tustin Councilman Prescott stated that 60% of the homes in Orange County had smoke detectors and of that 60% not even half were functional. He wanted emphasis in 1990 to be an increased effort to install smoke detectors in every home and insure they are functional. Mayor Edgar felt future fire safety in homes was a sprinkler system along with smoke detectors and the City should make it more convenient for people who desire sprinkler systems to obtain them. He thought mandating the requirement was premature but supported the concept. Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy requested consideration of requiring new homes built from the effective date of the Ordinance to provide an offer of the option. It was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Prescott, to modify the Ordinance requiring builders to provide sprinklers as an option in new single family homes. The following member of the audience addressed the Council regarding the plumbing schematics of building houses and the inherent problems with offering options involving plumbing: Norm Smith, representing Foothill Community Builders The following member of the audience addressed the Council regarding the problems of building homes with options when escrow failed: Tom Daley, Orange County Building Industry Association The motion died 2-2, Edgar, Kennedy favored; Prescott, Kelly opposed.

STATUS REPORT - JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT NOISE MONITORING PROGRAM (JWA), COALITION FOR A RESPONSIBLE AIRPORT SOLUTION (CRAS), AIRPORT SITE COALITION (ASC) AND HELICOPTER OVERFLIGHT PROGRAM TASK FORCE (HOPTF) Steve Rubin, Associate Planner, summarized the report prepared by the City's consultant, J. J. Van Houten and Associates, on the Aircraft Noise Impact Study related to John Wayne Airport operations over the City of Tustin. He stated the report findings: The community noise equivalent level (CNEL) generated by flight activity ranged from 51 to 58 dB levels, which represented an average daily noise exposure level in the City and average single event noise exposure levels (SENELS) for individual aircraft overflights ranged from 74 dB to 87 dB; the Phase 2 operations at the airport would increase the flight activity from 55 ADD (average daily departures) to 73 ADD and it was estimated that the noise level generated by aircraft overflights would increase by about 1 dB to 2 dB; and noise reduction measurements were obtained at a residence in the City with the windows closed to determine the level of sound insulation that is realized by typical construction of a single family residence and it was found that this type of construction reduced noise levels by approximately 24 dB. He further stated that the consultant recommended several options the City could pursue to minimize annoyance levels resulting from overflights: Minimize evening operations between 7:00 - 10:00 p.m.; establish a curfew on overflights between 10:00 p.m. - 7:00 a.m.; and establish a maximum single event noise level of 80 dB in the City. The report did not take into consideration the potential of cargo aircraft operations at JWA. At the direction of the Board of Supervisors, the County staff was conducting discussions with two primary carriers, UPS and Federal Express, to determine if their operations could be accommodated at JWA. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 7, 1-15-90 John Van Houten, representing J. J. Van Houten & Associates, was introduced to the Council to answer questions regarding review of the Aircraft Noise Impact Study. Council/consultant/staff discussion followed regarding (1) the location of the noise monitoring equipment, (2) number of monitoring sites within the city limits, (3) types of aircraft monitored, (4) types of aircraft flying into JWA, (5)=noise levels on landings and take -offs, (6) type of residential .-- structure used for monitoring, and (7) cargo flights into JWA. Councilman Kelly stated his displeasure with the report and wanted the City to purchase its own sound monitoring equipment, hire a technician and control placement of sound monitoring equipment. He stated he wanted the City to take an aggressive approach to this issue'. Mayor Edgar said at this time there had been no data that indicated noncompliance but he was apprehensive that through circumstances such as cargo flights at 3:00 a.m., noncompliance of the noise ordinance could occur and it was critical for the City to prevent it. He felt the report was excellent in defining areas requiring aggressive action. Councilman Prescott stated the report was a good first step and wanted the City to work towards obtaining a permanent noise monitoring system at City Hall such as that used by the Glendale/Burbank airport. Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy reported the City was recruiting a knowledgeable citizen to head community effort to monitor all airport/aircraft problems in Tustin and report to the Council. The excellent consultant provided hard data, which was needed, and the data indicated the City was close to having an actual violation of the noise standard. The cargo flight problem was a new challenge which would require applying pressure to the Board of Supervisors and it would be essential to win the cargo flight battle. It was moved by Kelly, seconded by Prescott, to receive and file subject report. The motion carried 4-0. It was moved by Prescott, seconded by Kelly, to agendize in 4-6 weeks discussion of possible purchase of permanent noise monitoring equipment similar to that of Glendale/Burbank Airport.

NEWSRACK ORDINANCE An Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy confirmed that the Children's Legal Foundation, an organization protecting children from pornography, had reviewed the City's proposed Ordinance No. 1033 and declared it a strong, constitutionally well-founded Ordinance. Councilman Kelly commented that the Children's Legal Foundation letter stated that providing for a ban of pornography on public property could be successfully defended depending how "dedicated" the City Council was on the position. He said the original Ordinance drafted in 1973 was a strong, sound Ordinance and requested it be enforced. Councilman Prescott requested discussion of Assembly Bill 2033 be agendized for the February 5, 1990 Council meeting. Council concurred.

Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy stated she had submitted historical and current Tustin scenes to an artist who will do a water color to be printed, which will cost approximately $1.30 each. The initial cost was for the artist rendering and the four-color printing process. Councilman Kelly thought the present proclamation form was suitable and did not approve of spending money for what one Councilmember thought was a beautiful piece of art work. Mayor Edgar supported the motion because he thought it was excellent to reinforce the characteristics of the City and everyone benefited from the prestige of the City's historical value. Councilman Prescott questioned whether the Marine Base was one of the historical scenes submitted to the artist. Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy responded she had supplied pictures of the Stevens' house, the Senior Center, four buildings in town and two agricultural scenes to reflect the City's heritage.

He proposed Council consider purchase of a vacant parcel for sale on Prospect between Main Street and Third Street, adjacent to the City Water Department. Council discussion followed regarding water service to the East Tustin area and expansion of the Water Department facilities. William Huston, City Manager, noted the County Fire Department was considering building a new fire station on the helicopter base to provide civilian fire service. If that occurred, Station 37, which was owned by the City, would be vacant and one option would be to use that site as a water facility. Other options would depend on the extent of Council's desire to maintain the facility on Main Street. Council concurred to agendize this item at the February 5, 1990 City Council meeting. 85 5.

APRIL ELECTION - LOCATION OF POLLING PLACES Councilman Prescott questioned the proposed locations of polling places as follows: Precinct 17, suggested use of clubhouse in the mobile home park on Browning; Precincts 11 and 12; suggested use of school sites; Precinct 9 suggested use of a clubhouse in an apartment complex; and Precinct 7, suggested use of a polling place on the Base, instead of a private residence in Tustin Meadows. Councilman Kelly pointed out that in the last April City election none of the registered Marines on the base voted and he wanted to encourage them to cast ballots by putting a polling place on the Base. Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy agreed that in Precinct 7 perhaps a clubhouse would be easier to locate than a private residence. The following members of the audience addressed the Council regarding polling places: Guido Borges, representing Laurelwood Homeowners Association Berklee Maughan, Tustin Mayor Edgar concurred that clubhouses or schools were preferable. He noted there was a separate polling place on the Marine base as identified in Precinct 18. He suggested staff obtain schools or clubhouses as polling sites wherever possible.
