Shasta View Drive to four lanes and construct a center median landscape planter as part of
a 52-home development citing a lack of proportionality as well as Traffic Impact Fee (TIF)
studies which determined that this particular portion of Shasta View Drive would not require
improvements for another 20 years. Mr. Ashby presented photos of various subdivisions in
the area where such requirements were not imposed, including an area in front ofthe Clover
Creek Preserve Project owned by the City. He pointed out that the cost to widen Shasta View
Drive will be approximately $350,000 and maintained that this is a public responsibility
which should be part of the TIF program or his client should receive reimburs~ent from the
City. Mr. Asby requested that the City Council modify Conditions of Approval No. 7 by
deleting the requirement to construct two new driving lanes, a center lane, a landscaped
median, and frontage improvements off site along the adjacent property of Shasta View
Drive.
Mr. Ashby explained that Condition No. 25, rehabilitation of the Gregory Pond spillway, was
required because of storm water runoff from the Subdivision into the Pond. He contended
that the Subdivision will be constructed and graded in such a way that storm water will run
into a ravine, away from the Pond. He advised that Mr. Baker hired hydrologist, Dr.
Humphrey, to study the area and he concluded that there will be no net runoff into the Pond
from the project. In addition, Engineering Geologist, Jim Bianchin, hired by Mr. Gregory,
determined that the spillway was stable and no rehabilitation work was indicated at this time.
Copies of the Hydrology Report prepared by Dr. Humphrey were submi1:ted for staffs
reVIew.
In response to Council Member Stegall, City Attorney Duvernay advised that the Planning
Commission does have the authority to consider and make changes to Conditions of
Approval, if necessary. He stated that the Planning Commission was provided an
opportunity to change the Conditions of Approval of the Subdivision Map but chose to
approve it with the Conditions as set forth by staff. However, having attende,d the Planning
Commission meeting, Mr. Duvernay noted that the concerns of the appl~cant were not
presented to the Planning Commission in the detail presented this evening. ., .
I
Mayor Mathena pointed out that Condition No. 18 on Parcel Map PM-14-03 indicates that
no grading on any ofthe three parcels should be done until such time as the dam is inspected
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Duane Miller, Civil Engineer for Shasta View Lake,
Inc. recalled that the Condition references all necessary permits being obtained, but the
Hydrology Report indicates that the spillway is stable and, if no work is indicated, no permits
are necessary. i .
City Manager Warren inteIjected that in the last year, the City Council has charged staff with
ensuring that when roads are improved, they receive complete improvements which eliminate
areas where pockets exist that cause the road to twist or "jog." These imperfections could
be straightened if full improvements were made. The addition of four lanes and a median
for Shasta View Drive is an example of a fully improved road. With regard to the dam
spillway, Mr. Warren advised that the potential for future downstream flooding is a real
safety issue if it is not properly inspected and rehabilitated.
I
In response to Council Member Murray, Assistant City Manager Starman ;explained that
widening the portion of Shasta View Drive adjacent to the City's Clover Greek Preserve
would have created the "jog" and safety issues that staffwas directed to eliminate. However,
the City will complete the additional lanes when future development occurs in that area
making four lanes necessary. He pointed out that additional lanes are site gependent and,
unfortunately for the applicant, it would pose a safety concern to leave only nyo lanes in that
particular area juxtaposed to the Clover Creek area. .
Council Member Murray expressed concern that the requirement for rehabilitation of
Gregory Dam spillway was imposed because it was assumed that engineering work would
be required. He believed that the Condition of Approval should be that the developer must
demonstrate the safety of the dam rather than perform specified repairs.
I
In response to Mr. Ashby's statement that Shasta View Drive should be funded with TIF
funds, Deputy City Manager Bachman explained that during the TIF update process in 2003
and 2004, it was estimated that $300 million would be needed for all proposed TIF projects.
Through the review and deliberations process, many projects were eliminated reducing the
total to $180 million. He pointed out, however, that this is still a substantial amount that

Mr. Hamilton recommended that the City Council uphold the decision of the Planning
Commission to approve the Fleur du Lac Tentative Subdivision Map S-8-03 subject to the
Conditions of Approval except for Condition No. 43, relating to construction of an eight- foot
wide concrete trail, as modified in the Report to City Council.
;
Council Member Kight expressed frustration with the conflicting information. Mr. Duvernay
explained that in regard to the dam, the City is requiring that rehabilitation of the spillway
occur. There may be more than one option to accommodate the rehabilitation, but it must
occur albeit at a future point in time and he recommended that the Condition not be waived
at this time.
I
Mr. Warren suggested that the project could be returned to the Planning Commission since
the applicant misunderstood the authority level of the Commission and did not present the
details of his opposition at that time.
Responding to Council Member Murray, Mr. Hamilton explained that rehabilitation of the
spillway was not required before recordation ofthe Parcel Map, as there was no development
planned at that time and staffbelieved it more appropriate to require that when development
occurred.
Mr. Ashby expressed concern that the City has collected $122,000 in funds tlrrough an area
of benefit to be allocated through the TIF program for widening of Shasta View Drive. Mr.
Bachman explained that at least $122,000 in TIP funds has been or will be used for Shasta
View Drive improvements. He advised, however, that during the TIF study period, the
portion of Shasta View Drive under consideration did not have the amount of traffic
necessary to trigger a level of service to qualify for the funding. He noted that many areas
of the City will never be in the TIF program because frontage improvemen,ts will already
have been completed by the time traffic studies show the areas warrant the funding.
I
Mr. Baker advised that his improvements to the dam raised the freeboard of the dam ten feet.
He stated he was advised by an environmentalist in Sacramento that it would be better to
raise the height of the dam rather than work on the spillway. Mr. Baker contended that the
spillway was down to hard rock and a 1 OO-year flood event could be handled by the spillway.
He stated he was not opposed to a modification of the Condition that would require him to
satisfy City engineers that the spillway was stable. He emphasized that the cost to line the
spillway was not at issue, but obtaining a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is
usually a difficult hurdle to overcome.
Mayor Mathena determined that no other individual wished to address this matter and closed
the public hearing.
Council Member Murray did not believe that the matter should be reheard b~ the Planning
Commission and that staff should review the new information. He suggested that there
should be some type of offset of costs for the construction of Shasta View Drive and that the
landscape median be eliminated. He also suggested that staff review the 'Gregory Pond
spillway as well.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Stegall, seconded by Council Member Kight, referring
the matter to staff to meet with the applicant and resolve the issues, with recommendations
returned to the City Council if necessary.
The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

FORMATION OF ASSESSMENT DISTRICT - For Public Improvements at the South
Bonnyview/Interstate 5 Interchange
(A-I 70-050)
Assistant City Manager Starman explained that the South Bonnyview Drive/Interstate 5
interchange is at or near capacity, and growth of the area will be limited unless interchange
improvements are made such as a second left turn lane and widening of the on- and off-
ramps. He advised that this project was not included in the Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) program
for funding and it is unlikely that State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funding
will be available for this project.
I
Mr. Starman explained that an alternative funding process could be developed with the
creation of an assessment district. The cost of the suggested interchange improvements is
currently estimated at $2.5 million.
Mr. Starman recommended that the City Council direct staff to explore the possibility of
creating an assessment district to finance various improvements at the South Bonnyview
Road/I-5 interchange by working with property owners of the area to determine interest.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Kight, seconded by Council Member Murray,
directing staff to work with property owners of the South Bonnyview R()ad/Interstate 5
interchange to explore the possibility of creating an assessment district or some similar
mechanism to finance various improvements to the interchange.

suggestion and brought back for consideration.
I
