Page 2, 4-20-81
As recommended in the memo dated April 13, 1981, prepared by the
Assistant City Engineer, it was moved by Kennedy, seconded by
Edgar, to award subject project to Holstrum Construction Corpo-
ration, Huntington Beach, in the total amount of $22,226.78.
Motion carried 5:0.
5. OLD TO~N PARKING
Dr. Fleagle, Acting Community Development Director, provided
additional information on the 01d Town Parking Study dated
February 16, 1981, and the memo dated April 20, 1981, specifi-
cally related to 445 "C" Street identified as a future municipal
parking facility, which was followed by Council discussion.
It was then moved by Hoesterey, seconded by Edgar, to:
a)
Proceed on a priority basis with proposal for participation
and development of the Gfeller parking site at 445 "C"
Street; and
b) Contact the School District administration to determine
interest and feasibility of leased parking facilities.
Dr. Fleagle emphasized the above motion would direct staff to
evaluate the Gfeller proposal of participation in a parking
structure on "C" street, to further investigate the feasibility
of developing school properties for public parking, and come
back to Council with a recommendation on a priority basis
indicating which is the best way for the City to proceed. The
motion carried 5:0.
Councilman Edgar stated he reached the conclusion, based on
material presented and discussions of the Redevelopment Agency,
that parking considerations at the intersection of Prospect and
2nd Street do not justify acquisition of property for that pur-
pose; however, the opportunity to acquire that property for
renovation by a private developer makes it appropriate to make
such a commitment. He proposed acquisition with friendly con-
demnation by the City for the purpose of reselling to a devel-
oper for construction.
Dr. Fleagle responded it is staff's intent to first obtain a
developer and then transfer escrow where there would be no
commitment of City funds, but the City would have a deposit
guaranteed purchase. By using condemnation prior to acquisi-
tion, then transferring to a developer at no expense would allow
the City to proceed without exhausting its Redevelopment
resources. To acquire the property, demolish, have it vacant,
and wait for someone to come along with a development proposal
could tie up Redevelopment funds for a series of years with the
added burden of assuming relocation assistance projects. Dr.
Fleagle suggested waiting until submittal of a proposal by a
private developer. It was then moved bv Edgar, seconded by
Kennedy, that acquisition of that property be considered by emi-
nent domain at such time as a feasible proposal is submitted.
Councilman Saltarelli felt a purchase offer should be made to
the willing seller under conditions favorable to the City based
on the appraisal, and offer the parcel, for resale to highest
bidder (a private developer) - which would place the property
back on the market, bring in additional tax increment, and allow
improvements at that location. He suggested the owner may be
willing to provide a one-year escrow, after which time the City
could enter a purchase agreement with the Redevelopment Agency,
and subsequently have the ability to place the property back on
the market for resale and development; and it could possibly be
worked out by attorneys and seller so that the tax benefit from
same would go to the seller, even if there is not a friendly
condemnation.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 3, 4-20-81
A substitute motion was made by Saltarelli, seconded by Edgar,
to direct staff to enter negotiations with owners for purchase
of property at appraised value, to explore as lengthy an escrow
as is feasible, come back to Council with a proposal, and simul-
taneously find a developer who will proceed in a manner of most
benefit to the City.
Dr. Fleagle interjected that even with a willing seller, pro-
ceeding with the above direction could obligate the City to
relocation assistance, which is probably not included in the
appraised value. The City Administrator indicated there may be
some options the City Attorney's office could explore which
would allow the City to avoid relocation costs.
The substitute motion carried 5:0.
6. INCREMENT T/%X FINANCING FOR HOUSING
Councilman Edgar stated it is apparent from the Redevelopment
Agency financial report that increment tax financing will be
subject to limitations next year due to increase in revenue, and
it is appropriate to consider modifying the Agency agreement to
allow expansion of revenue based upon expansion of tax base. He
continued, stating the City has fully recognized that by making
this type of commitment, we will be exposed to committing a por-
tion of Redevelopment funding to housing, with ramifications of
that need still to be explored. It was then moved by Edgar,
seconded by Kennedy, that a study be conducted by staff, identi-
fying what the constraints are, what the steps are to make the
change, and what the obligations will be with a reconstitution
of the Redevelopment Agency.
The City Administrator stated this might occur in Fiscal Year
1982-83, and it was staff's intent to prepare such a study in
advance so that it could be considered at an opportune time.
Mayor Sharp concurred with the need for such a study and
requested a time certain on completion of same. Dr. Fleagle
indicated the study had commenced, and approximated that 60 days
would allow sufficient time for completion of the study. The
City Administrator noted that any changes would not become
effective until the following year.
Councilman Edgar added that timing in terms of completing the
report and taking action could affect the amount of funding
available to the Agency. The motion carried 5:0.
7. R.~FOND OF PARKING DISTRICT F~.ES
Barbara Clem, 220/250 E1 Camino Real, stated a reponse had not
been received on a request for refund of parking district fees
at subject location. Dr. Fleagle reported the matter had gone
before Council and read from the January 5, 1981, minutes indi-
cating denial of said request. Council concurred with the Mayor
that staff provide a written response to Mrs. Clem on the
matter.
It was moved by Hoesterey, seconded by Kennedy, to adjourn at
4:50 p.m. to the City Council meeting. Carried 5:0.

1. WA'rKK FRANCHISE ~kS
Pursuant to his memo dated April l, 1981, the City Administrator
reported that it was the City Attorney's opinion to discontinue
the franchise fee and bill the water service for any costs
reasonably incurred for reimbursement of such expenses. Council
concurred.
2. SIX STAR-NIELSON CAB~vlSION
The Director of Public Works provided additional information to
his memo dated April 15, 1981, regarding the revised request by
Six Star for a 50' communications tower, three satellite signal
receiving antennas, and one small electronic equipment building
at five potential sites. Council members expressed concerns
such as staff coordination on the matter, use of public property
for such purposes, further review by a Council/staff committee,
and L~pact on surrounding areas. The City Administrator stated
Council's indication on whether to pursue the matter was pre-
liminary to even commencing the use permit procedure. Further
comments by Council included the public's interest in the
matter, a willingness to consider franchise proposals from other
cable companies, and technology currently being used. The
Public ~orks Director made reference to the material handed to
Council which outlines delays encountered and status with each
utility company in getting overhead poles ready for cable
installation. It was then moved by Edgar, seconded by
Hoesterey, to agendize the matter for the May 4 meeting with a
report from staff.
Robert R. Patty, Area Manager, assured Council Six Star is using
the most modern technology, which requires the 50' tower to be
of best benefit to the City. He requested Council authorization
to explore use of one of the proposed sites prior to proceeding
with the use permit process. He further emphasized Six Star is
sensitive to citizens' needs and concerns and is willing to meet
with the citizens to discuss same.
In response to the Mayor, the City Administrator indicated a
need for Council direction on specific sites for antenna loca-
tion and suggested the matter be referred back to staff for a
report at the May 4 meeting. He also requested that Council
contact staff in the next few days and indicate their specific
concerns relative to the proposed sites. Motion carried 5:0.

1. COOPERATIv~ AGREEMENT FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING FUNDS
Dr. Fteagle, Acting Community Development Director, reported
that on June 3, 1980, voters in the City of Tustin gave approval
to Measure X, thus giving referendum authority for publicly
assisted low-rent housing projects to be constructed within the
City. Prior to any application for future low-rent housing
projects to be funded, a cooperation agreement must be com-
pleted. This hearing is for public testimony and direction for
staff to prepare a resolution authorizing entrance into the
agreement.
The public hearing was opened at 9:04 p.m. There being no com-
ments or objections, the public hearing was closed.
It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, to direct staff to
prepare a resolution authorizing entrance into the Cooperation
Agreement, plus a copy of the executed agreement, for the next
regularly scheduled meeting of the Council. Carried 4:0,
Saltarelli absent.
RESOLUTION NO. 81-48 - A Resolution of the City Council of the
City of Tustin, California, PERTAINING TO A SUBSCRIBER RATE
INCREASE BY COMMUNITY CABLEVISION COMPANY
The City Administrator reported that he ~ad held a preliminary
hearing on April 8, 1981 and that the people in attendance did
not believe the rate increase was unreasonable. Their main
problem was the difficulty the Laurelwood Association would have
in raising its fees to cover the increase on the 12 channel ser-
vice. They agreed to Council consideration of the 12 channel
service rate increase within 90 days to permit the Association
to get legal help in order to determine their alternatives.
The public hearing was opened at 9:07 p.m.

Tom LaFourcade, Community Cablevision Company representative,
said the' company was proposing a 26-channel service which will
be greatly improved. The user will have a wide range of Dro-
grams to choose from with the best possible rates. He said that
they were in agreement with staff's recommendation.
Peer Swan, 14351 Morning Glory, said he had been to the Adminis-
trative hearing and agreed that we have enjoyed an extremely low
rate, but pointed out that the expansions Community Cablevision
is putting in are conditions necessary to meet the requirements
of State Legislation AB 699 which would allow them to be
released from regulations of City Councils and set their own
rates. AB 699 allows a certain fee per subscriber to go to the
State, and he requested that any savings be passed on to the
people.
The public hearing was closed at 9:23 p.m.
It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Hoestere¥, to adopt the
recommendation and findings of the City Administrator as con-
tained in his memo to the Council dated 4-10-81 and to adoDt
Resolution No. 81-48. Motion carried 4:0, Saltarelli absent.
RESOLUTION NO. 81-45 - A Resolution of the City Council of the
City of Tustin, DETERMINING THE VALUE OF WRITTEN PROTESTS AND
ORDERING THE ANNEXATION OF THE AREA KNOWN AS "HOLT-HAMALA
ANNEXATION NO. 127" TO THE CITY OF TUSTIN
Dr. Fleagle, Acting Community Development Director, gave the
staff report that this annexation was initiated by three of the
four property owners on Holt Avenue, northerly of the Flood Con-
trol Channel. On March 11, 1981, the Local Agency Formation
Commission approved this proposed annexation as an uninhabited
annexation containing less than 12 registered voters. If there
had been unanimous consent, the property could have been annexed
without the necessity of a protest hearing, however, one prop-
erty owner did not consent at the time it was proposed, there-
fore necessitating this hearing. A letter was sent to the five
property owners affected by this annexation Droposal.
The public hearing was opened at 9:25 D.m. There being no com-
ments or objections, the public hearing was closed.
It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Sharp, to adopt Resolution
No. 81-45 showing that no protests were given.
Dr. Fleagle read the letter that was sent to all property owners
and affirmed that he would write to all parties concerned
regarding the specific plan action and ask them to voice their
opinions.
The motion carried 4:0, Saltarelli absent.

tract for subject project to Nobest Incorporated of Westminster,
California, in the amount of $13,717.25 and to continue the
decision on the plaque for further consideration.
Dan Blankenship, City Administrator, said that he had concerns

COMMUNITY DEVelOPMENT D9ARTM~NT P~0POSAL TO CONSTRUCT A PACK--
AGED I~ESIDENTIAL STRUC-i'U~E IN T~3~ FORM OF A GEODESIC DOME WITHIN
T~US R-1 SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT
RESOLUTION NO. 81-50 - A Resolution of the City Council of the
City of Tustin, California, AMENDING THE HANDBOOK OF GUIDELINES
FOR PLANNING, ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT ADOPTED BY RESOLUTION NO.
78-78
The City Attorney presented a draft resolution amending the
Handbook of Guidelines for Planning, Zoning and Development
("Guidelines") which was adopted by City Council Resolution No.
78-78. This amendment relates to the proposed development of a
geodesic dome on Second Street near "A" Street. By amending the
Guidelines in this manner the Guidelines would state as one of
its purposes the review of development applications for single-
family residential sites and thereby subject such developments
to existing design review procedures.
Dr. Fleagle, Acting Community Development Director, said that
most cities do not have architectural review of all R-1 property
unless they have complete neighborhood CC&R's or areas of
historical value that they review. In response to a question
about this being a tool to prevent old mobile homes from being
put on R-1 property, he said that the State has preempted us by
saying that cities have to provide individual R-1 building sites
for mobile homes but they have not taken from us the authority
to consider mobile homes as you would any other residential
development. If you say that this is going to apply to all R-1
separate building sites, it would assure that any factory built
move-in, mobile home, or non-standard design would have staff
approval as to compatibility to the existing residences with a
right of appeal to the City Council. There. are only a few
vacant lots within the City and therefore this process would not
have a financial impact on the City.
It was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Edgar, to adopt Resolution
No. 81-50.
Donald R. Bond, 15091Clemans Circle, Irvine, developer for this
property, said that apparently the opposition to his development
is one of architectural style and presently there are no
requirements to seek City approval on architectural style and
anything the Council does to change the existing laws is going
to restrict his rights as a property owner and he feels this is
grossly unfair and unjust and he asked that he be treated with
fairness and justice.
Greg Bennett, who has been employed by Mr. Bond on this project,
stated that they have a City Inter-office memo that says R-1
residences do not need architectural design review. They have
been required to have landscaping plans which has caused added
expense and he expressed that this change in the Guidelines is
morally after the fact.
Councilwoman Kennedy responded that the Cit~ Council two meet-
ings ago,did ask that this be resolved between the residents and
the developer and the meeting took place and there was no give
on the part of the developer and there was no resolution of the
problem.
Motion carried 4:0, Saltarelli absent.
7. TREE REMOVALS - MAIN STREET, "B" STROll~ AND "C" STREET
It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Hoesterey, to authorize the
following street tree removals and/or relocations:
1. Relocation of two "Ficus Retusa Nitida" or Indian Laurel
Fig trees on "C" Street;

2. Removal of one "Jugians Regia" or English Walnut tree on
"C" Street and replacement with a Ficus Retusa Nitida tree;
3. Removal of two "Schinus Molle" or California Pepper trees
on Main Street and replacement with approved street trees;
4. Removal of two Avocado and one "Bauhinia Variegata" or
Purple Orchid tree at the southeasterly corner of "B" and
Main Streets as required by the developer;
5. Removal of one "Prunus Persica" or peach tree, one Hibiscus
tree shrub and one Erythrinia Crista-galli or Cockspur Coral
tree on "B" Street; and
6. Removal of one "Eucalyptus Globulus" or Blue Gum tree on
Main Street and replacement with an approved street tree.
Bob Ledendecker, City Engineer, said that Item No. 4 is not a
request to remove the trees immediately but as the project pro-
gresses they will probably be one of the last items to be done.
Councilwoman Kennedy requested that the motion include that
Items 2, 3 and 6 might be able to be done at the owner's
expense. Councilmen Edgar and Hoesterev agreed to this addition
to the motion.
The City Engineer said that the two Peppertrees that have
historical value are in the worst shape. They have had to be
trimmed and they are hollow.
Doug Gfeller, representative for the developer of the Stevens
property at Main and "B" Streets, said that the removal Of these
trees would be a help to the developer and they would be willing
to pay the costs. However, he asked that the City increase the
size of the replacement trees if they pay for the removal.
Council concurred that they would do this.
Motion with the addition carried 4:0, Saltarelli absent.
~"~w.~u'r IVE SESSION
The City Administrator asked for a brief executive session for
personnel matters following the meeting. Council concurred.
2. 41' STR~P OF PROPERTY NF~XT TO 'r~ BOY'S CLUB
Councilman Edgar said that the Council had requested him to
interface with the Boy's Club regarding their approval of the
agreement to sell the 41' strip of property next to the Boy's
Club to Mr. Foster for a parking lot and he had found both
parties to be completely amiable to the agreement as drafted bv
Attorney Rourke with the exception of Appendix E. They felt the
liability insurance required in Appendix E would be too expen-
sive for them.
It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, to approve the
agreement with the elimination of Appendix "E".
Attorney Rourke said that he did not have any problem with
eliminating Appendix "E". In drafting the agreement he had
tried to give the City as fair an agreement as possible for the
value they were receiving in order to be sure it was a ~usti-
fiable action.
Councilman Edgar withdrew his motion and agreed to talk further
with the Boy's Club and Mr. Foster to work out an acceptable
solution to the agreement and to report back at the next
meeting.
