Council Member Pugh discussed the City Attorney's suggestion that some
consideration be given to scheduling public hearings for 7:00 P.M.,
rather than 7:30 P.M. He said, since the inception of the Consent

on several occasions.

was felt that steps could be taken to make it more understandable to
the public. It was decided that a statement would be placed on the
agendas and an announcement would be made explaining the Consent
Calendar and under what circumstances items may be removed.

said he would research the steps necessary to change the public
hearing times to 7:00 P.M.

(W-030-400)
The hour of 7:30 P.M., having arrived, Vice Mayor Gard opened the
public hearing re proposed water rate increase.
The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk:
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received and
the Vice Mayor ascertained that there were no protests from the floor.
Public Works Director Arness reviewed his memorandum to Council dated June ll, l985, which is incorporated herein by reference. He stated that on September l9, l983, Council adopted a new water rate schedule
and approved, in concept, a rate plan which when fully implemented will provide a uniform water rate for all users. Mr. Arness reported that the third and final rate adjustment is proposed for July l, l985,
which will eliminate the current inequity between single family
residential users on individual meters and multi-family residential
and industrial users on large master meters. He reviewed the accounts
which will be influenced by the recommended water rate change and
pointed out the annual increases for these customers.
It is the recommendation of staff that a resolution be adopted imple-
menting the proposed water rate adjustment.
Mr. Arness complimented Public Works Superintendent Galusha for
compiling the information contained in the report to Council. Vice
Mayor Gard noted that the report is very understandable and a very
good report.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member

PUBLIC HEARING - re Tentative Subdivision Map S-ll-84, Quail Ridge,
Units 2 - ll, Appeal of Denial of Amendment Request
(S-l00-607)
The hour of 7:30 P.M., having arrived, Vice Mayor Gard opened the
public hearing re the appeal of denial of amendment request for
Tentative Subdivision Map S-ll-84, Quail Ridge, Units 2 through ll.
The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk:
Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
Planning Commission recommendation dated June l4, l985
The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo-
randum to Council dated June l4, l985. He stated that the Planning
Commission has approved the subdivision of property located generally
north of Lancers Lane, east of Canby Road, and west of Churn Creek.
Units 2 through ll consist of 485 single-family residential lots on
l60 acres, a school site, two park sites, and an open-space dedication
along Churn Creek.
Mr. Perry explained that in l983, the Planning Commission approved a
request for the encroachment of a road and two lots into the l00-year
flood plain of Churn Creek, but denied the request for five other
lots. Subsequent to that decision, the applicant appealed that decision. He said the amendment request came about as a product of Condition No. 35, which required all lots to be outside of the flood
plain. Mr. Perry pointed out that if all lots in the flood plain are
relocated, there will be a loss of approximately six lots with a
school site or no lots if the school district elects to not accept the
dedication offer.
Mr. Perry reviewed the issues involved with encroachment into flood
plains. He said the applicant retained OTT Water Engineers to eval-
uate the hydrologic impacts of the proposed encroachment. Mr. Perry
outlined the choices available to Council at this time. He noted that
if any encroachment is allowed, Council must either find there is no
significant effect on the environment or require an environmental
impact report. The negative declaration was issued for the project
predicated on there not being any lots in the flood plain.
It is the recommendation of staff that the appeal be denied and the
action of the Commission be upheld. The opinion of staff is that
stream channels should generally be left in their natural condition,
that the City should not be party to raising flood levels on another's
property, and that encroachment on one side must presume that equal
encroachment will be afforded the property owner on the other side.
Jack Baker, l5537 Prospect Drive, developer of the project, stated
that at the time they prepared the tentative map, the engineer thought
the l00-year flood line was located below the Churn Creek Sewer and
they believed the project was out of the flood plain area. He said
that when it was determined that there was encroachment in the flood
plain, staff agreed that they should get a report from a recognized
hydrologist. Dr. Humphrey prepared the data and Mr. Baker indicated
that his report supports the construction of lots in the fringe area.
Mr. Baker indicated that the road system is in and they are not going
to change any construction costs. He said they have agreed to compen-
sate the property owner on the east side of the creek for a l0 foot by
800 foot strip of his property. Mr. Baker reviewed the points listed
in the staff report concerning the Ott Water Engineer report and noted
that staff did not ask them to study several of the points listed.
Mr. Baker said he believes they have met and mitigated most of the
concerns of the project. He said they believe the data they have
submitted together with the blessing of their neighbor on the east
side of the creek, support the encroachment in the backwater area of
approximately 60 feet. Mr. Baker asked that Council act favorably on
their request.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member
Pugh that the public hearing be closed.
In response to an question from Vice Mayor Gard, Mr. Perry advised
that the Planning Commission allowed the encroachment only in the
swail area which would have a minimal impact on the area.
Vice Mayor Gard expressed concern about setting a precedent for future
developments and the negative declaration which was predicated on no
encroachment in the flood plain. She said it would be difficult to
make the finding for a negative declaration if this request is ap-
proved.
Mr. Perry explained that staff learned more about this project as it progressed and that more questions were raised as time went on. Council Member Demsher said he understands the position of the devel-
oper but the flood plain does have some significance. He noted that
encroachments such as this have caused some problems in the past. Mr.
Demsher agreed that the appeal should be denied.
Council Member Pugh said it appears to him that we are looking at the
impacts of poten-tial encroachments on other properties. He said much
more information is available now about what water does than there was
a few years ago. Mr. Pugh noted that staff has agreed that there will
be no impact on properties upstream or downstream from the project and
the developer has a verbal agreement with the neighbors across the
creek. He said it would appear to him that the City could allow the
lots that would not impede the water flow or create problems upstream
or down-stream, if a written document is filed with the City Attorney
releas-ing the City from liability from the property owner on the east
side of the creek, and if the environmental issue is resolved.
Council Member Fulton agreed with Council Member Pugh that encroach-
ment is allowable under some circumstances.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Vice Mayor Gard
that the appeal the denial of an amendment request for Tentative
Subdivision Map S-ll-84, Quail Ridge, be denied.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Demsher and Gard
Noes: Council Members - Fulton and Pugh
Absent: Council Members - Kirkpatrick
This motion died for lack of a majority.
Council Member Pugh asked the City Attorney if there is a way to
mitigate the environmental issues at this time. City Attorney Hays
replied that the negative declaration was issued on the basis that
there would be no encroachment in the flood plain and approval of the
request would require that it be sent back to the Planning Commission
to deal with a new negative declaration and the mitigation measures.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Pugh that the appeal of denial of an amendment request for Tentative
Subdivision Map S-ll-84, Quail Ridge Subdivision, Units 2 through ll,

road, and referring the matter to the Planning Commission for environ-
mental review.
