Others present: City Administrator Harry Gill Asst. City Admin.-Community Development Ken Fleagle City Attorney James Rourke City Clerk Ruth Poe Secretary Jessica Carroll V. PUBLIC HEARINGS 1. COUNCIL APPEAL UP 73-17 On motion of the City Council, an appeal to UP 73-17, as approved by the Planning Commis- sion by Resolution No. 1366, which authorized the development of a 47-unit apartment com- plex on the westerly side of Browning Avenue, approximately 250' south Of Nisson Road. Mr. Fleagle reviewed the initial proposal and the present redesign of the project which showed open space and recreation area fronting on Browning Avenue, with parking faci!iti~s in closer proximity to the units they would serve. The revised plans show one entry-way into the complex which, as presently designed, would serve for emergency vehicle use. Staff would desire to make adjustments in the loca- tion of carports and specific requirements for security fencing. Public hearing opened at 7:42 p.m. Mr. William Reed, Ar. chitect, stated that the dimen- sions of the property are 291 feet from the front sidewalk to the rear property line, or approximately two acres. There being no further comments, Ma~or Saltarelli closed the public portion of the hearing at 7:45 p.m. Mayor Saltarelli stated that the architect had removed his concern regarding emergency vehicle turning radius and carport proximity to units served. Councilman Woodruff did not feel it would be an appropriate action to approve an apartment develop- ment of this magnitude at this particular location, City Council Minutes 11/5/73 Page 2 would prefer a development more compatible with the surrounding area; namely, duplexes. Mayor Saltarelli pointed out that of 47 units, 45 are one-bedroom. In answer to questioning by Councilman Sharp, Mr. Fleagle explained that development of this project would encompass more than 50% land coverage and, therefore, by zoning ordinance, could not classify for condominium development. Moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Langley, that the findings of the Planning Commission, as contained in Resolution No, 1366 be upheld, subject to incor- poration of therevisedplot plan design, and staff review offinal development plans. Councilman Woodruff urged his colleagues to defeat the motion on the basis that it would create more ~palrtments than can be used. Motion to uphold Resolution No. 1366, with change in plot plan approved. Ayes: Saltarelli, Langley, Sharp. Noes: Welsh, ~oedruff. Absent: none. 2. APPEAL OF V 73-5 - TUSTIN CONVALESCENT HOSPITAL An appeal by the Tustin Convalescent Hospital, of the Planning Commission denial of Variance 73-5, for the Tnstin Convalescent Hospital. Proposed application was to authorize a double face f~e~standing, 6' x 12' electric ~ pole sign, at a heightof 20' Mr. Fleagle reported that the Planning Commission had reviewed this matter at length on October 8, 1973 at which time a public hearing was held. It was the finding of the Planning Commission that the location of the convalescent hospital did not constitute a hardship case. In denying the request for a variance, the Planning Commission, by Resolu- tion No. 1373, did grant the erection of a sign consistent with the present Ordinance, plus the added features of er. ection at ~.he e/~t~e ~f the cul-de-sac and lighting to an intensity of up to 450 milliamps. ConnCi~ma~Sharp asked if the Planning Commission had considered the capacity and turnover of the facility, las well as the number of visitors it elicited, to which Mr. Fleagle replied that these matters were not brought up during discussion. During the Planning Commission consideration, it was .indicated there were times an ambulance would arrive at night but lighting could be limited to visiting hours for advertising purposes. Vacancy was not taken into consideration. Public hearing was opened at 8:00 p.m. Mr. William Becker, Custom Signs, 160 Centennial Way, Tustin, representing Mr. L. B. Lewis,~E~a~&c letter prepared by Mr. Lewis and which was presented at the Planning Commission public hearing and incor- porated in the minutes of October 8, 1973. He further City Council Minutes 11/5/73 Page 3 stated there was no public opposition to their request and that two Planning Commission members spoke favorably of their "hardship". The sign authorized by the Planning Commission is giving them less than the prevailing code. It was their opinion that the Planning Commission was unfair in taking the attitude that because they chose their location, the condition of difficulty of directional finding was self-imposed and as such did not represent a "hardship" case. Moved by Woodruff, seconded by Sharp that the public portion of the hearing be closed at 8:15 p.m. Carried unanimously. Mr. Fleagle stated that the authorized sign, as granted bythe Planning Commission, would reduce by two-thirds the size of the sign presently existing on the site which was erected by the original construction com- pany approximately one year ago in violation of the Sign Ordinance. The owner claims he was not informed to remove this sign although staff reports otherwise. Moved by Woodruff, seconded by Welsh that Planning Commission Resolution No. 1373, denying a variance on Application No. V-73-5 of the Tustin Convalescent Hospital be upheld. Mayor Saltarelli stated~that a directional sign on First Street would be the'most satisfactory solution but questioned if the present Sign Ordinance would permit this. Mr. Fle~gle replied that only those hospitals having "emergency services" are allowed directional signs. There is an amendment, however, in the revised Sign Ordinance draft which would permit identification of this type of facility. Councilman Langley pointed out that one of the prob- lems Tustin is presently facing is that the existing Sign Ordinance has double and triple standards and noted there are other cases within the City where signs have been illegally installed without a permit. However, Council must live with the existing Ordinance and cannot justify a sign built illegally and also maintained without a permit. This would be a contra- diction of what is being attempted with the existing Sign Ordinance. Mr. Fleagle stated that what the Planning Commission has required to be approved would be consistent with the recommendations which the Sign COmmittee has considered favorable at this p6int. To date, however, no complaints have been received against the existing sign. Substitute motion by Saltarelli, seconded by Sharp that the previous motion to uphold the findings of the Planning Commission as contained in Resolution No. 1373 be !tabled pending adoption of the new Sign Ordinance. Ma~or Saltarelli stated that the present Sign Ord- inance is such as to clearly deny the request for a variance and removal of the existing sign. When the new sign ordinance is adopted, if the present request is still in violation, applicant could then be required to conform and also remove the presently existing sign. Councilman Woodruff opposed any delay, stating that approval or denial of the proposed variance should Ci~ty Council Minutes 11/5/73 Page 4 be made. He further noted that the hearing on the new Sign Ordinance should be held within 45 days. Substitute motion to table the motion upholding the findings ofthe Planning Coz~miSsion as contained in Resolu~tion No. 1373 failed. Ayes: Saltarelli. Noes: Langley, Sharp, Welsh, Woodruff. Absent: none. Motion upholding Planning Commission Resolution No. 1373, denying a variance on Application No. V-73-5 adopted. Ayes: Langley, Sharp, Welsh, Woodruff. Noes: Saltarelli. Absent: none. 3. TUSTIN CITY ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 2 RIVERFORD ROAD Mr. Gill stated that bids were scheduled to be opened at 10:00 a.m., November 1, 1973, for the construction of a decorative entryway at the Riverford Road, 400feet east of Nixon Circle. There were no bids submitted for opening at that time. At. 10:30 a.m., November 1, 1973, bids were opened for the~rsale of Improvement Bonds to finance the construction of the decorative entry improvements at RiverfOrd Road. All legal requirements for the competitive bidding for this Assessment District project have been fulfilled. The Assessment Dis- trict Attorney, F. MacKenzie Brown, has indicated that the construction can be performed by the City through a negotiated contract with a contractor and this would not have to be formally bid. Mr. Gill recommended that the City Council open the hearing as previously scheduled, and after hearing comments either for 0r against the improvements or the Assessment District, continue the meeting until the next City Council meeting of November 19, 1973. This continuance would allow the time to select a contractor to perform this work at or below the estimated construction cost. Mayor Saltarelli stated that the hour of 7:30 o'clock p.m.,~November 5, 1973, having arrived, this is the time and place for the hearing of protests or objec- tions to the improvement, the extent of the Assessment District, or to the proposed assessment, or to any or all other matters contained in the "Report" for the improvements in Assessment District No. 2. The City Clerk reported that due notice of this hearing pursuant to the provisions of the "Municipal Imp[~ement Act of 1913" has been given in the manner and form perscribed by law and that affi- davits showing such compliance are on file. That Notice for the receipt of bids for construction and the sale of the Improvement Bonds has also been given in the manner and form prescribed and that Affidavits showing such compliance are on file. The City Administrator summarized theY~improvements and explained the formula and method of spread of assessment. Estimated Construction Cost $ 7,500.00 Incidental Costs and Expenses 4,800.00 Total Estimated CostS= $12,300.00 City Council Minutes 11/5/73 Page 5 There are twenty-four (24) parcels of land within the proposed Assessment District. The total esti- mated cost was spread over each parcel equally resulting in an Assessment Cost of $512.50 per parcel. The Cit~ Clerk reported that no written protests have been received. Mayor Saltarelli asked~if there were anyone who wished to speak for or against theimprovements or Assessment District. George Homer, 13271 Nixon Circle, Tustin, stated heis a resident of the area and is well aware of the long events which have transpired for decorative entry improvements. The proposed masonry wall would abutswall ~ ofpink cinder block construction which extends to three feet in height nextto the.sidewalk. Nextto Lotl on the north side of Riverford Road, the Flood Control District has provided a chain link fence to a height of six feet. On the opposite side of Riverford Road, the perimeter wall is only three feet high. There is currently no provision in plan copy to provide either a chain link fence to raise existing fence in the area to six feet or to provide for the raising of the masonry wall. Ma~or Saltarelli questioned if Mr. Homer was asking for additional items into thelAssessment~ Mr. Homer replied that he was not certain. He had brought to Mr. Ledendecker's attention the fact that an 8' wall was not included; that the resolu- tion called for the masonry wall to be removed on the north side with the chain link fence to remain. The Riverford Road view wouldbeobstructed by having a masonry wall; however, a combination masonry wall and wrought iron fence would do the same. Some provision is needed onthe opposite side of River- ford Road to prevent children from being able to enter the flood control channel on the south and north sides. The existing chain link fence on the north~side is on flood control district property. Ma~or Saltarelli stated that the residents of the area may inform the City Engineer of what is requiredland it will be implemented, agreeing that measures should be~taken to keep children from entering the flood control channel. Mrs Gill stated that the present package was put together over a long period of time to satisfy the desires of those in the area. The City Engineer had not mentioned that there were any design changes involved. Attorney F. MacKenzie Brown suggested this would be one of the reasons for continuing the public hear- ing to allow Mr. Homer and the City Engineer to go over the plans and for staff to put together the necessary Resolutions for~this Assessment. Moved by Sharp, seconded by Woodruff~ that public hearing for Tustin City Assessment District No. 2 be continuedto November 19, 1973. Carried unanimously.

Councilman Woodruff then stated his objection that the City should have to pay for this protection when the railroad is going to install their own permanent protection. Mayor Saltarelli recommended that the permanent installations by the railroad be completed as soon as possible. Moved by Langley, seconded by Welsh that Resolution Nos. 73-71, 73'72, 73-73 and 73-74 be approved and adopted. Carried by roll call. Ayes: Saltarelli, Langley, Sharp, Welsh, Woodruff. Noes: none. Absent: none. XI. OLD BUSINESS 1. AWARD OF CONTRACT - LIGHTING OF TENNIS COURTS AT TUSTIN HIGH SCHOOL Mr. Gill stated that this project was bid with four alternates: Alternate "A" - Light six (6) courts with over- head conduit attached to chain link fence. Alternate "B" - Light three (3) courts with over- head conduit attached to chain link fence. Alternate "C"- Light six (6) courts with under- ground conduit. Alternate "D" - Light three (3) courts with under- ground conduit. City Council Minutes 11/5/73 Page 8 The School Board has approved the Contract, as submitted, with two exceptions. They would prefer the undergroundlighting of six courts but will not fund the difference incost, amounting to $2:,375.00. Also, they offered nO opinion as to number ofcourts to be definitely lighted, three or six. They will approve City's decision on the condition that the City share in the maintenance and lighting costs. Mr. Saltarelli pointed out that.the~School Dis- trict receives a 10¢ override on community dis- trict tax funds for the purpose of handling this type of expense. Therefore, he would oppose any action until this issue has been resolved. Mr. Gi~l stated that the bids received remain valid for a period of thirty days... Mayor Saltarellisuggesteda-de¢ision could be made toillight-either =three or six courts~without further action on bids being made until a suitable agreement has been reached concerning Article 9 of the contractual agreement between the City and the School District.' Councilma~ Woodruff was of the opinion that six courtsshouldlbe lighted since the monetary dif- ference would amount of $1600~ thus representing a cost saving. Movedby Saltarelli, seconded.by-~Welsh that light- ing of six courts, with~undergroundconduit be approved, subject tO the,stipulation, lthat motion does not constitute acceptante of bids.prior to the execution of the contractual agreement between the City and the!School District, contract to be further considered at next~regutarly scheduled meeting on ~ovember 19, 1973. Carried.unanimously. 2. EXTENSION OF TIME FOR TRACTS 7794 and 7979 Portion of~Laurelwood Townhomes~and~Patio Homes. Mr. Fleagle-reported that there,have been five dif- ferent principals of the U. S~ Development Corpora- tion since he has been working on this project, who are no longer associated with them. Therefore, it is very...difficult to expect the~e~principals to know what was approved and agreed to in the past. The City Councilconsidered this request and the recommendation of the Planning Commission on Octo- ber 15,.1973, and, followingdiscussions!~of the developer's intent related to lots 176 and 177 of Tract 7794, continued the determination. The staff was directed toascertain the status of the vacant lots 176 and177of Tract 7794 (Lots 1 and 2L~of Final Tract No. 8033). The developer has offered the reservation of one of these lots for a land- scapedopen area, with bus stop, to be dedicated to and maintained by Laurelwood Homeowners Association. As a condition,.the!developer has requested approval of a model mix in Tract 7794 as follows: Plan 1!- llunits .~ Plan 3 - 26 units Plan 2 - 12 units Plan 4 - 13 units Staff doesn0t believe it would be desirable nor City Council Minutes 11/5/73 Page 9 beneficial to the total project to develop either of lots 1 and 2, located at the northwesterly corner of Walnut and Cherrywood, as residential building sites. M__ayor Saltarelli noted that original plot plans showed lots open on CherrywOod Lane. The present proposal would block the view down Cedar Lane and feels this is a reasonable compromise to the solu- tion. The masonry wall and bus stop in that area would make a pleasing entryway. Moved by Saltarelli, seconded~by Woodruff that U. S. DeVelopment CorporatiOn be granted an 18- month extension of Tentative Tracts 7794 and 7979, subject to incorporation of Exhibit "A" of the U. S. Development Corporation, with proposed bus stop to be built in that area; landscaped and maintained by the Laurelwood Homeowners Association, and sub- ject to conditions of staff. Carried. Ayes: Saltarelli, Langley, Sharp, Welsh, Woodruff. Noes: none. Absent: none. XII. NEW BUSINESS 1. FINAL AGREEMENT - YORBA STREET FROM LAURIE LANE TO 250' SOUTHERLY - AHFP #723 Mr. Gill stated this agreement for Yorba Street (AHFP 723) is the legal agreement between the County of Orange and the City of Tustin that defines the responsibilities of each agency for the planning, administration, construction and maintenance of the subject project, and recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of this final agreement and that they then be returned to the County of Orange for their execution. MOved b~F Woodruff, seconded b~; Langley/that the Agreement for the AHFP 723 project be executed. Carried unanimously. Ayes: Saltarelli, Langley, Sharp, Welsh, Woodruff. Noes: none. Absent: n6ne. 2. CONSIDERATION OF NAME AND DEDICATION PLANS FOR PARK LOCATED AT S/W CORNER OF RED HILL AND BRYAN Mr. Gill reported the park will ~e dedicated approx- imately the first week in December, and that the City Council is authorized to name parks in any manner desired. The recommendations of the Parks and ~ReCreatiOn COmmission have beenLpresented to City Council, as well as the TUstin Police Employ- ees' Association recommendation that the park be named in memory of Officer Waldron Karp.. Mary Hernandez, Chairman, Parks and Recreation Com- mission, stated that the naming of parks was very important, and it is their considered opinion that the accent should be placed on youth~ Also, in memory of Officer Karp, a memory plaque could be placed near the flagpole. It was their intention to plant a pine tree grove in the park, with the trees planted to be donated by the young people of the community, and recommended the name Pine Tree Park. City Council Minutes 11/5/73 Page 10 Linda Smith, Parks and Recreation Commission, out. lined their proposed dedication program which carries the theme, "Accent on Youth". Because of the program of planting trees by the young people~ it was their desire that the park be named "Pine Tree Park". The sizes of the treesplanted=Wou'ldbe open to the choice.of the individualyouths involved. Councilman Langle~ stated it was his understanding there would be some type of plaque for the memory of Officer Karpto belocated at the new Civic Center. He suggested that if park is named"Pine Tree Park", Item 9 of the Dedication Program (Officer Karp Memorial - Police Explorer Scouts) be deleted and staff directed tO get input as to the most applicable site forthis memorial. Moved by WelSh,'seconded by Langle~, that~park locatedat southwest corner of Red Hill and Bryan be named"PineTree~Park". Mayor Saltarelli Stated that pine trees should be of reasonable size and that the planting of trees be coordinated with the Architect. Councilman Sharp suggested that the architect be authOrizedto make a change order to incorporate sizeable pines in their overall design, since MayorSaltarell'idesires at least one very large pine tree, regardless of cost, and feels that=it is mandatory. MotiOn'to name. park "Pine Tree Park" carried unani- mously~ Staff was directed to contact the Tustin Police Employee~'Association~for a dialog with them as to what they feel would be the most appropriate locationI for a memorial to Officer Karp. 3. CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF PARK TURF Mayor Saltarelli complimented Mr. Blankenship on the excellent report he prepared and submitted for Council approval. Moved b~ Saltarelli, seconded b~ Woodruff, that the amount of $3,565.00 be transferred from, Undistributed Reserve to Maintenance Department capitalsOutlay for care andmaintenance.of'park turf. Carried unanimously. 4. APPOINTMENT OF CITIZENS LONG RANGE PLANNING COMMITTEE Mayor Saltarelli has suggested that the City appoint a Citizens Long Range Planning Committee, to set forth City goals and establish priorities and capi- tal improvements, which incorporates community at large, as well as'residentS of the northTustin area. The Committee could besimilar to the former TNT Committee. Councilman Woodruff stated he would prefer to avoid the problems of the TNT. However, he would like to encourage such a committee as proposed. City Council Minutes 11/5/73 Page 11 Moved by Woodruff, seconded by Langley, that appoint- ment of a Citizens Long Range Planning Committee be continued to NoVember 19,1973, tO' determine if such a committee should be established. Carried unanimously. 5. RED HILL/BRYAN PARK SITE TIME EXTENSION Mr. Gill stated it is his recommendation that a I'5~ng day extension be granted the United Sprinkler Company, as they have requested, to the contract for construction of the Red Hill/Bryan Park, making the completion date November 16, 1973, and, in the event the contract exceeds the extended completion date, then liquidated damages be assessed in the sum of $50.00 per day for each and every calendar day's delay in finishing the work. Councilman Langley disagreed with this extension on the basis that they delayed excessively the starting of this project, although requested many times to begin construction. Mr. Gill stated there was a conflict of activity going on at the time and therefore feels with all factors involved, the extension. of time is warranted. After general discussion, it was Councilman Langley's suggestion that no action be taken at this time. It was his opinion that all contractors ~be made aware that the City is serious when they set deadline dates. Moved by Woodruff, seconded by Langley, that no action be taken on the requested 15 working day extension, and that contractor proceed as fast as possible, and, further change order can be processed when job is finished. Carried unanimously. XIII. OTHER BUSINESS 1. COMMUNITY SERVICES TAX It was the opinion of Mayor Saltarelli and Mr. Gill that the letter requested at the last Council meeting to be sent to the School District would be premature. Matter was deferred. 2. NOISE COMPLAINT CAUSED BY FREIGHT CAR SWITCHING, SANTA FE RAILROAD Staff to keep Council informed. During the weekend it was necessary that a police officer control traf- fic because gates and lights were not working prop- erly. Mayor Saltarelli pointed out, however, that Item 5 of the Findings of Fact of the Santa Fe Rail- road Company pointed out that certain problems would exist. 3. PARKS AND RECREATION QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER Report from Mr. Marchetti recommending that "Tustin Today" be expanded from its present four sheets to six sheets and that annual bids for printing be considered rather than the present quarterly bids received. Mayor Saltarelli pointed out that this newsletter has been a tremendous success in informing citizens City Council Minutes 11/5/73 Page 12 of the various events within the City. For a small amount of additional expense and no additional mail- ing costs, the larger newsletter could be incorporated. Moved by Woodruff, seconded by Langley, that the newsletter "Tustin Today" be expanded to six sheets and that bids for printing be made on an annual basis, with staff being directedto work in that direction. Carried unanimously. 4. PEDESTRIAN OVERCROSSING COSTS Costs were presented, with Mayor Saltarelli pointing out the necessity of such crossings over arterial roads. No action taken. 5. POPULATION ANALYSIS The City AdministratOr reported that Mr. Fleagle had met with Mr. Walter P. Hollman, Chief, Popu- lation Research, Department of Finance, in Sacramento on October 24, 1973, to contest the population count creditedto the City of TuStin. While the State of California credits the City of Tustin with 10,382 housing units, by City analysis, the housing count is 11,107 units, or a difference of 725 units. The State Research Unit has offered to furnish a Special Enumeration for the City of Tustin the week of November 26, 1973, at a cost of $11,263. A popu- lation credit for 600 additional persons would more than offset the cost of the census. Therefore, it was Mr. Gill's recommendation that the City Council approve a Special Enumeration and that funding in the amount of $11,263 be authorized for this purpose. Moved by Sharp, seconded by Langley, that authoriza- tion be granted for a Special Enume~ti~nnto be con- ducted under the auspices of the Population Research Unit of the Finance Department, State of California, to be scheduled for the week of November 26, 1973, and that funds in the amount of $11,263 be authorized for conduct of said census. Carried unanimously. Ayes: Saltarelli, Langley, Sharp, Welsh, Woodruff. Noes: none. Absent: none. ~ SPLITTING OF ORANGE COUNTY TELEPHONE DIRECTORIES Staff was directed to prepare a Resolution against splitting of Orange County Telephone Directories for Council approval on November 19,1973. 7.
