Important amendments of the Ordinance include: sprinker requirements in any building of 6,000 square feet or more and/or two stories in height, sprinklers for apartment buildings, "high rise" will be defined as 55 feet or more, and the prohibition of flan~able liquids in above ground tanks except in planned industriaT districts (applies to new tanks only). Councilman Edgar noted that many of the amendments apply to new structures and was concerned about deficiencies in existing buildings. Chief Nicola stated that Sen older buildings are modified in any way, amendments will require their compliance with current codes. Councilman Edgar restated his desire to retroactively insure that the community is fire safe. Christine Shingleton indicated that adoption of the Uniform Building Code Provisions addressed some of his concerns. If the City went into retroactivity, the process would be fairly exhaustive, both politically and economically. The City always has the ability, ~hen there is ~n unsafe condition through c~nplaint Or inspection, to deal with a hazardous condition. Staff would provide Councilman Edgar ~th the initial analysis regarding this matter. CITY COUNCIL MINUT' Page 2, 5-16-88 IV.

Chief Nicola responded that of the cities within their jurisdiction, all but Los Alamitos and Yorba Linda have adopted this Code.

The motion carried 5-0. PUBLIC INPUT 1. REQUEST FOR HANDICAPPED PARKING NEAR FIRST AND PACIFIC STREETS *Betty Oavies, [06 S. Portela Lane, Tustin. is an e~loyee of CR Reprographics on the corner of Pacific and First Streets, Because the c~any does not provide' parking for employees, they must park wherever possible. She felt that the mole block of Pacific from First to Second Streets was excessively red-lined, causing long daily walks for her. In addition she is on a breathing machine and must carry it with her. There is no handicapped parking on First S:reet and she Felt it was no: unreasonable to request it. She also asked for an explanation of the excessive red-lining. Mayor HoestereY asked Mrs. Davies if her employer provided on-site handicapped parking. Mrs. Davies indicated that. this was not possible because the employer must provide parking for customers and company vehicles. Mayor Hoesterey directed the Engineering Department to investigate the situation and report back to the Council. He added that some of the red-lining was to prevent the use, of parking for business reasons in front of residential homes. Z. REQUEST lO CONTINUE OPERATION OF BUSINESS FROM HOI~E AT 6ZO W. RI, IN Francoise Conrad of Francoise Interiors, 5ZO W. Main St., Tustin, had been informed by the C~,m~unity Development Department that she was no longer allowed to operate a business from her home.

CITY COUNCIL MINUT Page 4, 5-16-88 Comsent Calendar Item No. 11 - Tustin Ranch R~ Interchange Consultant Agr~nt - Councilman Edgar asked what the present.timeline was for the Tustin Ranch Road Interchange.. Robert Ledendecker, Director of Public Works, said the current timeline calls for advertisement of bids sometime in late Qctober or early November. The plans are being finalized and reviewed by the State. The City hopes to have an encroachment permit issued by the State which will allow for the advertisement of bids on the project and proceed with construction shortly after the first of the year. Councilman Edgar asked if the City Council will advertise the bid. Robert Ledendecker answered in the affirmative and also indicated that this will be the first time this has been done in the Orange County area. It will save approximately 4-6 months of time in lieu of having Caltrans do the advertising through their process. As a matter of information, the City is also currently working on the Tustin Ranch Road project from the I-S5 south of Walnut, which will follow 6-8 months behind the bid advertisement for the interchange enmbling the completion of the two projects at the same time. Construction on the interchange will take between 12-14 months. The project has been delayed to al low the Jamboree Road Interchange project, edmini stared by Caltrans, to proceed and preventing the two projects from conflicting with each other. Mayor Pro Tern Kennedy asked why the-City did not go out to bid on this expensive project. From the wording, it appeared there was already an agreement with the Irvine Co. to hire Ookken Engineering and now Dokken has increased their fee to $100,000. Robert Leclendecker repltc4d that Dokken Engineering is the design firm for the plans and specifications. The project itself will be constr~cted by another firm. The Irvine Co. acted as project coordinator in the City's behalf to keep the project on target due to a lack of City staffing. The City asked the Irvine Co, to solicit proposals and both the Irvine Co. and City staffs reviewed proposals from approximately 3-4 companies. Dokken Engineering was selected as the most qualified from their proposal presentation, proposal fee, and their experience. The City has been working on the design of this project for about 2.5 years and Caltrans has added additional requi tenants. William Huston, City Manager, emphasized that this is additional work, Tustin is the first City in California to, undertake an interchange outside the Caltrans process. While the City saves a lot of time, it has also been very complicated dealing with Caltrans and the Federal Government. However. this is new work; it is not a matter of Dokken bidding on a project and then increasing that bid. Councilman Edgar stated that interfacing with Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration was extremely bureaucratic and cumbersome. There had been periods when the City wondered if it would receive the authorization for the project even though it was 100% funded by our Assessment District. Mayor Pro Tam Kennedy asked if the previously discussed upgrading of sound berms and landscaping for the residential area impacted by this project was part of this plan. Robert Lede~decker stated that this project incompasses the area on the southerly side of the I-5 and adjacent to Laurelwood Townhomes. The City road project incompasses the easterly side of the Laurelwood development, both townhomes and patio homes. The project will only pertain to the area within the. interchange limits and the City project will address the issue as it proceeds Southerly on Tustin Ranch Road, The project will include a sound wall along the southerly boundary of the freeway as well as our road project. The City has involved the -TY COUNCIL MINUTES ~e 5. 5-16-'88 homeowners group and they have reviewed the environmental documents and will provide input ~nd ask questions during the Public Hearing on Ray 31, 1988. It was moved' by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, to approve the following as recommended by the Public Works Department/Engineering Division: 11. TUSTIN RANOI ROAD INTERCHANGE CONSULTANT CONTRACT A/~END~ENT Approved the amendment to the City/Irvine Company agreement for design consulting services for the Tustin Ranch Road/Santa Aha Freeway Interchange Project to provide for an augmentation of $83,906.00 to the Dokken Engineering design contract. The motion carried 5-0. VI. OROINANEES FOR INll~OOUCTION - None VIZ. OROINANCES FOR ADOPTION - None VllI. OLO BUSINESS 1. JI&R NOISE HONXTORING PROGRAM - ~'~ATUS REPORT Christine Shtngleton asked that the staff recommendation be modified. Correspondence was received that day from the airport concerning the installation of the Localizer Directional Aid equipment. The program will be acted upon this week and the City of Villa Park has taken a very active role opposing the installation of the equipment. Staff believes this equipment will improve conditions for the City of Tustin and asked for direction from Council to draft a letter for the Mayor's signature. The letter would encourage the airport department to proceed with the installation of the LDA equipment. It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Kelly. that a letter be sent from tile Mayor encouraging the airport to proceed with the installation of the LDA equipment. William Huston also requested that Council consider sending a representative to appear at the 8oard meeting on May Z4, 1988. Because of over-flight problems and Villa Park aggressively opposing the program, he felt it would be in the best interest of the City to actively support this program. The situation needs to be monitored and the airport Board should know the feelings of the City. It was moved by Prescott that Councilman Kelly represent the city at the Board meeting on May 24, lg88. Mayor Hoesterey asked that he be the representative and Councilmen Kelly and Prescott agreed. As an addition to the original motion, it was moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, that Mayor Hoesterey represent the Council at the Board meeting on May 2¢, 1988. The motion carried 5-0. ADDRESS AND ZIP CODE OLRNGES FOR NEWLY ANNEXED AREA IN TUSTIN Jerry Feldman, 13191 Wickshire Lane, Santa Ana, representing the Bellewick Community Association, thanked Mayor Hoesterey, Christine Shingleton and William Huston for meeting with Hector Godinez, Orange County Postmaster, in an attempt to solve the address and zip code problems. Mr. Feldman felt that further discussion with the local post office officials would not be of benefit. The community in that area wants a Tustin zip code and if they cannot have it now, they would have felt more comfortable having a commitment from the post office that the change would occur at a definite time in the future. On behalf of the Association 8oard, he requested that the mechanisms be started to at least allow them the use of the name Tustin with a 92705 zip code. CITY.COUNCIL MINUTCq Page 6, 5-16-88 Mayor Hoesterey stated that the Council had been told that area citizens could use the Tustin name with a 92705 zip code. As more areas are annexed in the future, changes could be made as a "block" rather than by piecemeal annexation. Councilman Edgar suggested that a letter be written to our Congressman for assistance with this problem. Mayor Hoesterey felt there was some cooperation from the Post Office to evaluate changes from an operational standpoint. He was concerned about possible repercussions that could result in being locked into irrevocable positions. Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy asked if there were economic reasons for not allowing this change. Mayor Hoesterey said it was due to operational reasons such as route structures for distribution of mail. It was pointed out to them that when East Tustin is developed, carriers will have to be added and routes changed anyway. The Post Office agreed to evaluate and take into consideration those changes. Christine Shingleton will contact Mr. Godinez to obtain, in writing, the Post office's agreement. Staff had agreed with the justifications provided when exploring the operational issues. Councilman Edgar was still concerned about the post office's lack of a definite commitment time and wanted a formal direction to our Congressman requesting thiS. area be absorbed at the same time and rate as the East Tustin area. Councilman Prescott felt the situation had become political, not operational. It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Kelly, that a letter be sent to our Congressman regarding changing the addresses of the newly annexed areas to reflect the name and zip code of Tustin, 92680. The motion carried 4-I, Hoesterey opposed. STREET NA/4ING Christine Shingleton, responding to Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy's previous request for current procedures on street naming, stated that developers submit their proposed names and the names are routed to Engineering for comment. There had been conversation with the Irvine Co. in trying to incorporate historical names~ places or events into the street naming program and providing those names to developers. The Historical So6iety had also assisted. Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy asked that the City reach back in history and honor Indian tribes from this area, the City founders or special historical events. Even though she was a member of the Historical Society, she felt they should not be the only input into the system. Anyone should be able to submit names and wanted to know the procedure for doing $o. She suggested utilizing the assistance of the local newspaper in gathering names and then appoint an Ad Hoc Committee. Christine Shingleton indicated that the next go days would be crucial. She felt using the newspaper to gather a community "wish list "was a good idea. The City could then provide the names to developers as a resource. It was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Edgar, thaK staff prepare a press release and begin the process to appoin~ a 5-member Ad Hoc Committee that will check the historical value of names. The motion carried 5-0. COUNCIL MINUTES 7, $-16-88 IX. 4. NEWPORT AVENUE/~CFADDEN *AVENUE UNOERGROUND UTILITY DISTP~CT NO. 10 It was moved by Edger, seconded by Hoesterey, to continue this item to the June 6, 1958, meeting. Councilman Edgar asked if the property in question was currently zon~ for commerical or residential and requested that information be available o~ June 6, 1988. Robert Ledendecker, Director of Public Works, reported that staff felt it was feasible to service that property from the Edison pole in the rear. Continuance is required while the phone company checks into the matter. The motion carried $-0. 8~SI~ESS l. POLICY FOR TRANSCRIPTS OF COUNCIL It was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Edgar, to continue this item to the June 6, 1988, meeting. The motion carried 5-0. 2. (~NTENRXAL WAY I~EE 1~40VAL/P.[PI.ACF.~ENT It was moved by Prescott, seconded by Kennedy, that the Council authorize the removal of four Fires trees on the westerly side of Centennial Way southerly of First Street and replace same with four Jacarand& trees (16" box size). Additionally, authorize the planting of six to seven Jacaranda trees {16' box size) in front of the City Hall parkway o~ Centennial Way. Councilman Edgar asked if the messiness of Jacaranda trees had been considered in Chis recommendation. Robert Ledendecker indicated that Jacaranda trees, when dropping their lavender blooms, are messy; but felt that ?icus trees were too. He also indicated that there were so~e areas .in front of City Hall where there are no trees and requested the additional trees to fill those voids. Councilman Prescott asked if there was a void at the corner of Second Street and Centennial Way. Robert Ledendecker said that he had discovered, after his report was written, an additional void south of Second Street and suggested that staff be directed to .fill all of the existing voids. This would require.an additional 3-4 trees. AS an addition to the original motion, it was moved by Prescott, seconded bx Kennedy, to autherize the planting of an additional 3-4 trees to fill existing voids. The motion carried 5-0. 3. EL CNqINO REAL STREET INPROVENENT BID AWARD It was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Edgar, to authorize the setting of a special City Council meeting for Monday, May 23, 1988, to award the bid for the E1 Camino Real Street improvements between the E1 Modena-Irvine Channel and Jamboree Road.
