SACRAMENTO RIVER TRAIL - Request to Bureau of Reclamation for Easement
and Salvage Rights and Initiate Annexation
(P-050-460-700 and F-200-200-050)
Senior Planner Keaney reviewed his memorandum to Council dated August
l, l985, which is incorporated herein by reference. He advised that
staff has been notified of Southern Pacific's intent to abandon the
existing tracks between Redding and Kennett. Once abandoned, Mr.
Keaney stated that the City could obtain an easement from the Bureau
of Reclamation and construct the Sacramento River Trail on the rail
bed for the entire distance from Diestelhorst Bridge to Keswick Dam
Road.
Mr. Keaney reviewed the benefits of utilizing the rail bed that would
justify the resultant delays in construction. He stated that staff
has approached the Bureau about utilizing the revenue from selling the
track salvage rights for construction of the trail (as much as
$70,000). Local Bureau of Reclamation officials have requested that
the City make an official request for both an easement over the rail bed from Redding to Keswick Dam, and to utilize the salvage revenue
for construction of the trail. Mr. Keaney explained that this would also require that the City obtain permission from the State Department of Parks to relocate the trail from Middle Creek Road to the rail bed.
Mr. Keaney pointed out that Phases III, V, and VI are outside the City
limits and should be annexed for purposes of maintenance and police
and fire response. He submitted a map illustrating a potential
annexation boundary.
It is the recommendation of staff that Council approve the use of the
rail bed in concept and direct staff to negotiate with the Bureau of
Reclamation as outlined. It is further recommended that staff be
directed to proceed with annexation as outlined.
In response to an inquiry from Council Member Fulton, Mr. Keaney
advised that this transaction would not involve any money on the part
of the City.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member
Pugh approving the use of the rail bed in concept and directing staff
to negotiate with the Bureau of Reclamation as outlined in the staff
memo dated August l, l985; and, that staff also be directed to proceed
with annexation as outlined. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

tion to Council for approval.
Council Member Pugh emphasized the importance of the property owners
or potential owners knowing that their trees have been designated as
landmark trees and the ramifications of having those trees on ones
property.
In response to an inquiry from Ms. Gard, Mr. Riley advised that
marking these trees in some way is something that could be considered.

Recreation and Parks Director Riley advised that he was asked to
research the availability of an engineering firm who would be knowl-
edgeable about night-lighted sports facilities for the purpose of
evaluating the lights at the Redding Softball Park. He said a
Sacramento firm, Associated Lighting Representatives, Inc. was re-
quested to personally evaluate the residence of Rufus Knapp, 3425
Hillcrest Street.
Associated Lighting has recommended that concentric glare rings be installed on the fixtures that are aimed in the southwesterly direc-
tion, as an attempt to reduce the glare towards Mr. Knapp's property.
They indicated that other options would involve relocating poles, using taller poles, and more luminaires, which would be very
expen-sive, or simply lowering the level of illumination to sub--
standard quality.
Mr. Riley advised that the recommended concentric glare rings have
been ordered and should arrive the week of August 5.
PUBLIC HEARING - re General Plan Amendment Application GPA-7-85, by
Bonnyview Meadows Investors
(G-030-0l0)
Council Member Pugh abstained from voting and discussion on this
matter.
The hour of 7:30 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatrick opened the
public hearing re General Plan Amendment Application GPA-7-85, by
Bonnyview Meadows Investors.
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 July 3l, l985
Senior Planner Keaney reviewed his memorandum to Council dated July
3l, l985. He stated that the Planning Commission has recommended
denial of GPA-7-85 to amend the General Plan from "Residential, 3.0
units per acre" and "2.0 units per acre" to "Residential, 4.0 units
per acre" on 3l.46 acres located north and east of Creekside Drive and
west of Reflection Street. A map of the area was shown on the Vu
Graph and council was given a copy of the draft negative declaration.
In the opinion of the Commission and staff, the amendment request is
not consistent with the character of surrounding development. Mr.
Keaney stated that, when the Bonnyview Meadows East Subdivision was
reviewed, it was determined that l5.9 acres of the property was
subject to flooding, which left 45.5 acres of developable land. When
considering the 45.5 acres of developable land, the approved subdivi-
sion already allows 3.0 units per acre, and permitting an additional
20 lots would result in a density of 3.4 units per acre.
It is the recommendation of both the Commission and staff that
GPA-7-85 be denied.
Paul Jones, l730 South Street, engineer for the applicant, stated that
even more of the property was subject to flooding before this develop-
ment was built. He noted that a flood control dike was installed in
l979 when the first 40 lots were developed. Mr. Jones said they feel
the request still meets the intent of the General Plan and Council
should not ignore the large park that was dedicated to the City.
John Varga, 3l8l Lakewood, said the lots are small enough and asked
that the amendment be denied.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member
Fulton that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
with Council Member Pugh abstaining
Council Member Gard emphasized that the three units per acre was a tremendous up-zoning during the Cascade Area Plan hearings. She
pointed out that the developer was aware that without the dike, the property could not have been developed.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Demsher that General Plan Amendment Application GPA-7-85, by Bonnyview
Meadows Investors, be denied. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Council
Member Pugh abstaining

PUBLIC HEARING - re Appeal of Use Permit UP-32-82, by Dick Shrock
(L-0l0-390)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatrick opened the
public hearing re appeal of Use Permit UP-32-82, by Dick Shrock.
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 July 30, l985
Senior Planner Keaney reviewed his memorandum to Council dated
July
30, l985. He stated that the Planning Commission unanimously
revoked Use Permit UP-32-82, which granted permission for an auto--
parts salvage and sales operation (Redding Truck Salvage) on property
located at 24l5 Girvan Road, in a "U" Unclassified District. Subse-
quent to that meeting, the owner of Redding Truck Salvage, Dick
Shrock, filed an appeal of the Planning Commission's decision.
Mr. Keaney advised that the permit was revoked due to the fact that
the current operator and owner allowed the landscaping to deteriorate
and was storing inoperable and wrecked vehicles in the parking lot and
along Girvan Road. Specifically, the operation was in violation of
Condition Numbers l, 6, l6, l7, and 2l.
Mr. Keaney stated that the number of complaints received by staff and
the photos taken by staff both substantiate that the property has
consistently not complied with the requirements of the use permit.
Dick Shrock, 24l5 Girvan Road, said he disagrees with staff on several
points and pointed out that there was a misunderstanding about the
date of the Planning Commission meeting. He said he would like to
have an opportunity to go over the alleged violations with the Plan-
ning Commission. Mr. Shrock contended that, compared to his competi-
tors, his business looks better than any other in the com-munity. He
agreed that outside storage must cease; however, he felt he should be
able to store his wrecker in the lot. He pointed out that one of the
parties who complained about his business has weeds growing completely
over the sidewalk and it is a blight on the neigh-borhood. Mr. Shrock
emphasized that it is an industrial area and the allegations are out
of line and exaggerated; however, he intends to comply with the
conditions of his permit.
Mr. Shrock contended that he never received notification on the date
of the Planning Commission meeting or the date when he was expected to
have the lot cleaned.
Roger Henry, 2600 Ely Lane, property-owner adjacent to the Shrock's
property, said he was one of the people who spoke against the project
originally. He said the concept now is somewhat different than the
original intent. He felt Mr. Shrock should have been in compliance
with the 28 conditions at all times. Mr. Henry concurred that Mr.
Shrock has been cleaning up his operation and the property is beginn-
ing to look better; however, he agrees with the Planning Commission
recommendation to revoke the permit.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Demsher that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Gard said Mr. Shrock's violations have been occurring
for l½ years and feels the Planning Commission's decision should be
upheld.
Council Member Fulton said the few times he has been in the area the
operation has been fairly well in compliance and hopes that Mr. Shrock
can salvage his business.
Council Member Pugh expressed the concern that it has taken l½ years to correct the violations but also has problems with terminating his
business if there is some way to save it. He suggested a possible extension for six months with a review by the Council at the end of that period.
Council Member Gard stated that the City's position in issuing the
permit originally was that if it is conditioned properly, the business
could have been a good neighbor. She felt if there had been an
intention to comply, she might feel differently.
Mayor Kirkpatrick felt the owner of the business has had ample time to
comply with the conditions of his permit. He also felt that the
Planning Commission has given ample opportunity for Mr. Shrock to
comply.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Demsher that the Planning Commission's decision be upheld to revoke
Use Permit UP-32-82.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Demsher, Gard, Pugh, and Kirkpatrick
Noes: Council Members - Fulton
Absent: Council Members - None

Certified Letters to Property Owners - Notice of Public Hearing
City Attorney Hays advised that written comments were received from
J-C Markets and Jimmy Shaw. He submitted a proposed resolution
setting forth the names of those property owners who are immediately
south of Hartnell Avenue whose property needs to be crossed in order
to provide for the extension of Shasta View Drive to Rancho Road. Mr.
Hays advised that there does not seem to be major disagreement over
the location of the road at this time; however, adoption of this
resolution will enable Council to move forward with the acquisition of
the properties through the condemnation process.
It is the recommendation of the City Attorney that the resolution be
adopted.
Robert Stenson, on behalf of Joe Catalano, said it appears that
property owners are in agreement and the amount is an acceptable
offer. His only concern is the potential requirements for improve-
ment.

Gard that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
(L-0l0)
Jim Simpson, l097 Denton Way, discussed a proposed group home next
door to his residence. He said the City is responsible for the safety
of the people going into the group home but does not have any author-
ity to prescribe any laws about what takes place in that home. Mr.
Simpson asked that the City write a letter to the State, stating what
requirements it would require if it had the authority to do so. He
also asked that a letter be written to the Attorney General stating
that subdivision covenants and conditions have been pre-empted by
State law. Mr. Simpson advised that the certificate of need has been
issued by the State for the home, but not the licenses.
Council Member Gard advised that covenants, conditions, and restric-
tions are strictly a civil matter and enforced by the neighborhood.
City Attorney Hays concurred and added that the State has said that
for zoning purposes, if they contain six or less residents, they are
considered residential purposes. He said this does not pre-empt the
City from enforcing building code requirements. Mr. Hays stated that
the Attorney General would decline comment on the CC and R's and the
individuals involved will have to bring their question to a court of
law.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, at the hour of 8:40 P.M., Mayor
Kirkpatrick declared the meeting adjourned.
