IV. PUBLIC INPUT 1. LANDSCAPING ON PROSPECT AVENUE NORTH OF BENETA WAY Robert Davis, 17981 Lucero Way, and George Banks, 17902 Lucero Way, complained about the noise of the drilling of the well at Columbus Tustin Park and the spreading of the heavy clay mud out of the well which is killing the orange trees and they requested that the City Council take some action to replace the trees or landscape the area. They expressed that the residents on Lucero Way have waited for over six years for the area to be beautified. Dr. Banks sug- gested that the city might contact the School District to see if some class could plant a garden and maintain it as a class project. Jeff Kolin, Recreation Superintendent, responded that this was not one of the projects in this year's budget. He felt the whole project of Columbus Tustin Park should be handled as one unit. '=' Bob Ledendecker referred to his memo dated August 30, 1984, enti- ! tled "Columbus-Tustin Well Project Status Report" and explained the ~ progress of the well. It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, to direct staff to go full speed ahead for landscaping of the land north of Beneta Way and east and west of Shasta, using Redevelopment funds for the con- struction. Councilman Greinke felt that the Council should be fiscally respon- sible and he requested that a plan be presented to them before any decisions are made. He requested that the motion be amended that staff bring back a plan. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 2, 9-4-84 It was moved by Ed ar, seconded by Kennedy, to amend the motion to read that staff ~tain an estimate for capital costs and mainte- nance for landscaping, including sprinklers, for the north side of Beneta Way and that it be presented to the Council on October 1, 1984, and staff be directed to communicate with the School District about a possible cooperative agreement for the south side of Beneta Way. Mr. Huston advised that this would be a rough estimate. The motion carried 3-0, Hoesterey and Saltarelli absent. 77 V. PUBLIC HEARING 1. ORDINANCE NO. 917 - An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Tustin, APPROVING ZONE CHANGE 84-4 FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1262 BRYAN AVENUE FROM R-1 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO PC-MF PLANNED COMMUNITY MULTIPLE FAMILY The staff report was given by Alan Warren, Senior Planner, as contained in subject Inter-Com dated September 4, 1984. The Public Hearing was opened at 7:45 p.m. Manuel Aftergut of Goldrich, Kest & Assoc., project applicant, pre- sented the plans for the Senior Citizen Board and Care Home pro- posed to be built at 1262 Bryan Avenue. The proposed facilities are for the reti red elderly and the 85 dwelling units do not con- tain cooking facilities. The food service is 3 meals a day, plus a 24 hour snack bar. Nursing care will not be provided as the facil- ity is for the ambulatory elderly. Larry Robbins, project architect, explained that there is a 3 story "L" shaped building to the north and, west and parking is to the south and east which serves as a buffer to the single family resi- dential homes. Morris Iverson, 13452 Cindy Lane, Tustin, had questions about the size of the rooms, adequate parking, and ingress and egress because of the curve in the road and the fast moving traffic on Bryan Ave- nue. He was not opposed to the project. David Bryant, 1331 Bryan Avenue, Tustin, spoke in favor of the project. The public hearing was closed at 8:27 p.m. It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Greinke, that Ordinance No. 917 have first reading by title only. Carried 3-0, Hoesterey and Saltarelli absent. Following the reading of the title of Ordinance No. 917 by the City Clerk, it was moved by Edgar, seconded by Greinke, that Ordinance No. 917 be introduced. In response to Councilman Greinke, Mr. Aftergut said that using 1984 dollars, the large suite will be $1,200 per month per person, the smaller suite will be $1,100 per month per person and the standard rooms $1,000 per month per person. There will be a slight surcharge for double occupancies because of additional service and food. This fee includes room, housing services, ~ood, transpor- tation and other services. Mayor Kennedy had concerns about the height of the 3 story build- ing, age limit of 55 years being a very low limit for a~.retirement home, and the small percentage of parking spaces. A substitute motion was made by Kennedy, seconded by Greinke, to continue this item to the next meeting in order for the applicdnt to reduce the density and increase the parking. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 3, 9-4-84 Councilman Greinke was willing to continue the matter so that the applicant could respond to Mayor Kennedy's concerns and also so that the other two councilpersons could be present to vote on the matter. Councilman Edgar stated he would vote against the substitute motion because this is the introduction of the ordinance and the other members would be present to express their opinions before the adop- tion of the ordinance. He expressed that the economics of the pro- ~ ject clearly relate to the number of units and if you reduce the number of units, the rent will be higher. Councilman Greinke with- ' drew his second on the substitute motion. The original motion to introduce Ordinance No. 917 was carried 2-1, Kennedy opposed, and Hoesterey and Saltarelli absent. Kennedy opposed the motion to show that she was definitely interested in some answers to her questions. 110 2.

The City is attempting to install a traffic signal at the intersection of Newport Avenue and Sycamore Avenue. When any portion of the leg of the intersection is under State control, the State requires complete control of the intersection. The type of controller that would be used by the State is not conducive to the controllers we desire to use in order to time by progression and inter-connect our local systems. Cal Trans is set up basically for the freeway and not for local streets. ~ It was moved by Greinke, seconded by Kennedy, to adopt Resolu- S absent. tion No. 84-70.

Carried 3-0, Hoesterey and Saltarelli absent. 50 4. PANKING RESTRICTIONS Councilman Edgar reported seeing an area in Anaheim near the Convention Center where signs were posted for parking for resi- dents only. He asked if we could have a similar ordinance for certain parts of Tustin, particularly the downtown areas. Chief Thayer responded that it can be done by issuing stickers to residents but he hoped it would not be done because it can cause a lot of problems. Frequently residents have friends who want to park and do not have the stickers. It works well in a beach community. If we were to do it in one area, it would not be long before every neighborhood would want the stickers. In order to go to a sticker system, 51% of the residents on the street would have to be in favorof it. Margaret Byrd and Agnes Bacon interjected that they would like signs prohibiting parking on street sweeping days on "B" Street and Mountain View between First and Irvine. Mr. Ledendecker responded that he would take a survey of their streets to see if 51% of the residents were in favor. 75 5. AIRPORT ACTION Mayor Kennedy rep rted that she had received at least ten tel e- phone r Ti n ;i theirn e 6. SIDEWALK REPAIR 101 Mayor Kennedy reported that the Tustin Paint Store wants to know when we are going to fix their sidewalk. Bob Ledendecker responded that the contractor has started work and he has approximately 175 locations to repair throughout the City and has 60 days from start to finish. He will try to find out when he has scheduled the work at the paint store and get in touch with the owner. 92 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 6, 9-4-84 XIII.
