a memorandum to Council requesting policy direction in the area of CC&R
enforcement over the next 30 days. Planning Commission action is final

the resolutions covering City enforcement responsibilities in CC&R's.
The City Attorney commented that the City has never vetoed any proposed

dent upon the CC&R's, it seems only reasonable, that the City provide
that they can't be changed without review of same.

The Director of Public Works responded to Mayor Edgar that for the past
several months, the Community Development Department has been in the
process of completing the environmental document. Scoping meetings
were held for public comment. This action is the start of a long pro-
cess, and as it continues, there will be ample opportunity for public

995
In response to Councilman Kelly, the Building Official noted that
wide angle (180-degree) door viewers are not required on front
exterior doors where clear-vision panels are installed.
It was moved by Kelly, seconded by Kennedy, to adopt the following:
REVISED RESOLUTION NO. 87-133 -A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF TUSTIN, SETTING FORTH FINDINGS WITH RESPECT TO LOCAL
CONDITIONS WITHIN THE CITY OF TUSTIN WHICH MAKE CERTAIN MODIFICA-
TIONS AND CHANGES TO THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE, THE UNIFORM PLUMB-
ING CODE, AND THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE REASONABLY .NECESSARY FOR
HOUSING OCCUPANCIES
Councilman Hoesterey stated that 6,000 square-foot buildings are
too small to require fire sprinkler installation. He felt it
unnecessary to add cost to that size building, and could see it for
12,000 or 15,000 square foot buildings. The Building Official con-
firmed that the square footage has been reduced from previous
codes.
Chief Jim Stone, Orange County Fire Marshal, clarified that fire
sprinkler requirements contain an exception for residential occu-
pancies. He added that the basis for this more restrictive ordi-
nance, introduced by the Orange County Fire Department (OCFD}, is
.twofol d:
1) Fire in a 6,000 sq. ft. building can reasonably be expected to
be controlled by the first-alarm assignment of fi re apparatus,
reducing the necessity of additional apparatus. If steps are
not taken for built-in fire protection, we will reach a demand
for level of service where additional companies will have to he
added. OCFD is looking at greater community participation from
the aspect of providing self-protection vs. trying to keep up
with demands on budgeting for additional resources, apparatus,
fire stations, and manpower which is the greatest expense.
2} Historically, damage fron sprinklers is 15% of fire damage. If
the fire is allowed to burn unchecked until arrival of the
first' fire engine, damage is generally 85% greater. Insurance
in commercial sprinklered buildings amounts to 33-50% reduction
'- in premiums. This will amortize the cost of sprinkler systems
in 5-7 years.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
'~ge 7, 12-7-87
Chief Stone responded to questions from Councilman Hoesterey on
types of sprinkler systems and how they operate.
In response to Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy's concern that water from
sprinklers may worsen a chemical fire, the Community Development
Director stated that the ordinance contains an amendment where
sprinklers would not be installed when application of water or
flame and water to contents may constitute a serious life or fire
hazard. Other approved automatic fire-extinguishing systems would
be installed when the area is required to be protected by other
Code sections.
Chief Stone confirmed the Mayor's comment that there have been no
multiple fire deaths in a building that was protected by an operat-
ing fire sprinkler system in the United States.
There was further discussion and a question-and-answer period.
The motion carried 4-0, Prescott absent. 81

Development Di rector as contained in the inter-com dated
Decent)er 7, 1987, prepared by the Community Development Department.

there were days that the Old Town area saw many overflights and

4. AUTHORIZATION TO INSTALL NEW STREET LIGHTS ON MAIN STREET
Presently, $16,000 is budgeted for. subject project in fiscal year
1987-88.
Councilman Kelly expressed a desire to delay subject project until
input from the Old Town area residents is received.
At the Mayor's request, the Director of Public Works identified the
difference in projects between Items 3 and 4.
He explained that Item 3 involves three street lights on "C" Street
between Third and Main, one light on the easterly side, two on the
westerly side. The project was initially sent out to informal bid
which staff hoped would come in under the $5,000 bid limit. How-
ever, staff had to comply with the formal bid process, and formal
bid results were exact as informal bids.
Undergrounding was never slated for Item 4. During the Main Street
reconstruction project, the intent was to install conduit for a
street light system, which was done during recent construction
between "C" and Pacific. While designing the roadway, there was
suggested the use of decorative lighting (such as Victorian style}.
However, staff found that such style of lights, are mostly on a
single pole without the mast arm which hangs over in the street,
and would require removal of' trees on Main Street. Therefore,
staff felt it wisest to go back to conventional style lights to get
as much illumination on pavement area as possible.
Staff also considered tile possibility of extending the mission bell
theme, which is still an option. However, conventional style
lighting exists in front of Stevens Square and further west on Main
past Pacific, which would not match the mission bell theme on the
north side of Main Street.
If other than the mission bell lights are used, the City would have
to maintain its own special lighting system. In other words, they
