PUBLIC HEARING - re Rezoning Application RZ-1-87, by City of Redding
(adjacent to and east of Eastside Road and south of North Bonnyview
Road)
(L-010-230)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Dahl opened the public
hearing re Rezoning Application RZ-1-87, by City of Redding.
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 May 27, 1987
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed the memo-
randum to Council dated May 27, 1987. Mr. Perry reported that the
intent is to rezone 88 acres located adjacent to and east of Eastside
Road and south of North Bonnyview Road from "U" Unclassified District
to "M-2-F" Industrial District. He stated that the primary issue is
to adopt appropriate zoning for an area classified "General Industry"
on the General Plan. Mr. Perry noted that a 22-signature petition has
been received representing properties primarily in the Vandiver Lane
area to the south. Staff has prepared a set of proposed
site-plan-review criteria, which are intended to address some of the
concerns expressed by petitioners.
It is the recommendation of both staff and the Planning Commission
that the area be zoned "M-2-F" Industrial District and subject to the
site-plan-review criteria as submitted to Council.
In response to an inquiry by Council Member Johannessen, Mr. Perry
stated that pre-existing uses will continue to operate as they have
been, and future uses will operate in accordance with a Use Permit.
Mr. Perry explained that the rezoning ordinance is administrative in
nature; some uses will require only a site-plan-review and other, more
intensive uses, will still require a Use Permit. Mr. Perry pointed
out that it is a recognized industrial area. He stated that land use
control of the area will remain the same.
Speakers expressing concern regarding land use in the area were:
Jean Fisher, 2419 Heryford Lane;
Faye Maddox, 2490 Vandiver Lane;
Brian McGihon, 2530 Vandiver Lane; and
Robert Maddox, 2490 Vandiver Lane. Complaints were noted that Custom Cut Lumber was allowed into the area
without sufficient notice to residents, and excessive air and noise
pollution is being generated by Custom Cut.
Council Member Gard asked how the noise problem can be mitigated. Mr.
Perry explained that if there is a noise problem, the problem is with
the Use Permit standards. Mr. Perry noted that there is not enough
staff available to provide 24-hour noise monitoring and enforcing a
noise ordinance requires gathering evidence at that level. He in-
formed Council that Assistant Planner DeMallie has checked noise
levels at Custom Cut. City Attorney Hays pointed out that enforcing a
noise ordinance is very difficult and requires a great deal of exper-
tise and very technical equipment. Mr. Perry noted that Shasta County
zoning runs adjacent to the area, and noise levels will be elevated as
more industry is introduced into that area.
Council Member Gard stated that the noise level should be checked; and
if Custom Cut is not complying with their Use Permit, something must
be done. She stated that this problem has been here since annexation
in 1977 and there is no good solution.
Mr. Maddox stated that sawdust from chemically treated wood aggravates
the air pollution problem and constitutes a danger to the community.
Council Member Fulton stated that he is on the Pollution Control
Committee for Shasta County and this problem will be looked into.
Council Member Johannessen pointed out that the situation at Custom
Cut seems to be an operational problem. He said that homeowners have
a right to enjoy peace and tranquility, within reason. Council Member
Johannessen stated that he hoped staff has taken note of the concerns
expressed by the residents tonight. Mayor Dahl noted that two issues
have been raised, rezoning and operational problems. Mr. Perry stated
that staff will have to review the statements made tonight. Mayor
Dahl asked staff to report back to Council with their findings.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Carter, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, that Council make the following findings re Rezoning Applica-
tion RZ-1-87:
l. Project is compatible with the Redding General Plan.
2. Project will not significantly alter existing land form.
3. Project is compatible with surrounding land use.
4.
Project is compatible with the Code of the City of Redding,
California.

Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
Planning Commission recommendation dated May 27, 1987
Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that the
applicants have requested a reduction of in-lieu park fees for the
Knolls Planned Development by $3,300 in exchange for construction of
an additional tennis court within the project. It is the recommenda-
tion of the Planning Commission, Recreation and Parks Commission and
staff that the amendment request be approved.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Carter, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

PUBLIC HEARING - re Valentine Lane Barricade
(T-080-500)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Dahl opened the public
hearing re the Valentine Lane Barricade.
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 May 28, 1987
Council Member Johannessen stated that he will abstain from discussion
or voting on this matter.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed the memo-
randum to Council dated May 28, 1987. Mr. Perry explained that this
public hearing was called in response to a letter from Greg Beale.
Mr. Beale requested that the Valentine Lane barricade be removed for
the safety of residents who have only one access out of the neighbor-
hood. The issue had resurfaced because of a recent fire in the area.
Those who spoke in favor of retaining the barricade were:
Steven Cairns, 3000 Valentine Lane;
Gary Collier, 468 Rio Street;
Christopher and John Miley, 3050 Valentine Lane;
John Simmons, 414 Rivella Vista Drive;
Margaret McMahan, 2900 Valentine Lane; Bill Ramsdell, 2990 Dove Street; and
Bill Ulch, 2795 Freebridge Street.
Reasons for retaining the barricade include:
1. Child safety;
2. Valentine Lane is crooked and offers motorists poor visibility;
3. Because Valentine Lane is so narrow, cars park on the sidewalk to
avoid being struck;
4. Avoid breaking the public trust;
5. The barricade can be dismantled in 40 minutes and chain-sawed
down in much less; and
6. The Canned Food Warehouse on Wyndham Lane is moving.
Complaints noted:
1. Shoddy planning and development process;
2. Repetitive public hearings in this matter;
3. Development district should have been formed in planning stages;
4. Heavy timber barricade is not the solution;
5. Safety versus convenience; and
6. Shifting traffic from one area inadequately equipped to handle to
the traffic to another.
Suggestions to Council include:
1. Improve Wyndham Lane;
2. Leave the barricade in place until Dove Street goes through; and
3. Install a safety gate or high-tech electronic gate;
Those who spoke in favor of taking the barricade down were:
Christine Reinhardt, 2700 Wyndham Lane;
Greg Beale, 3487 Lagoon Drive;
Fran Evans, 2575 Wyndham Lane;
J. B. Grimes, 3425 Riverview Drive;
Gene Darr, 2575 Wyndham Lane;
Betty Myers, 2521 Wyndham Lane;
Dennis Canale, 2877 Wyndham Lane; and
Vera Neal, 3655 Riverview Drive.
Reasons for removing the barrier include:
1. Allow a secondary access to residents south of the barricade and
thus providing an additional emergency access;
2. Relieve traffic and improve pedestrian safety on Wyndham Lane;
3. Wyndham Lane is narrow and does not have sidewalks;
4. Safety versus convenience.
Complaints noted:
1. The recommendation of the Redding Police and Fire Department to
take down the barricade has not been followed;
2. Poor planning;
3. Barricade has been taken down twice in three years; and
4. The oil storage tanks and prospect of flooding pose a threat to
the neighborhood.
Suggestions to Council include:
1. Speed bumps or traffic control on Wyndham Lane
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Carter, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Carter noted that the intent of Mr. Beale's letter was
concern for the safety of the neighborhood in an emergency. He
suggested that the present barricade be replaced with an electric gate
and latch. Council Member Carter stated that the technology is
available to provide an economic, safe and vandal proof barricade.
Public Works Director Arness said that staff could look into such a
device.
Council Member Carter also recommended that the intersections of
Wyndham Lane and Highway 273 and Ellis and Highway 273 be improved.
Council Member Fulton pointed out that the decision to build a strong
fence was made because of the prospect of vandalism, and a desire to
reduce staff time spent repairing the barricade. He also stated that
the only way to improve the intersection at Wyndham Lane and Highway
273 is by signalization.
Council Member Gard explained that Council once believed that because
there was so much development going on in the area, Dove Street would
go through within a year. She stated that with the economic crash,
development stopped. Council Member Gard emphasized that the issue
now is safety. Mayor Dahl concurred, and pointed out that this is
what Council Member Carter is trying to address with the electronic
gate. Mayor Dahl pointed out that traffic safety is a problem common
to both sides of the barricade, and he urged people north and south of
the barricade to work together with the City.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, to replace the existing barricade with an electronically
controlled barrier, study and improve Highway 273 at Wyndham Lane and
Highway 273 at Ellis Street, and study the feasibility of extending
Dove Street.

RECESS
Mayor Dahl recessed the meeting at 9:15 P.M.
The meeting was reconvened at 9:23 P.M.
CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - re General Plan Amendment GPA-13-86, by
Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company (SAVI) and the City of Redding
(north and east of Mt. Shasta Mall)
(G-030-010)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Dahl opened the continued
public hearing re General Plan Amendment GPA-13-86.
The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk:
Affidavit of Posting - Notice of Continued Public Hearing
Planning Commission recommendation dated May 28, 1987
Council Member Johannessen stated that due to a conflict of interest,
he will abstain from discussing and voting on this issue.
City Clerk Nichols stated that a letter was received from the law firm
of Moss & Enochian, representing Elmer Roesner and Leo Audia, opposing
the proposed redesignation of their property, located north of the Mt.
Shasta Mall on the west side of Canby Road, to "Residential, 18 units
per acre," and requesting that the Roesner/Audia property retain its
retail designation.
Senior Planner Keaney reviewed the memorandum to Council dated May 28,
1987. Mr. Keaney noted that debate surrounding the amendment has
focused on two issues, the alignment of Browning Street and land use
west of Canby Road and north of Mt. Shasta Mall.
Staff has addressed the issues previously raised by Fran Kesterson
surrounding the Browning Street align-ment, and they submitted their
findings to Council. It is the opinion of staff that the alignment of
Browning Street which provides the most direct access to Victor Avenue
and runs adjacent with existing Enterprise Storm Drain Facilities is
the preferred route. Mr. Keaney noted that a natural drainage swale
already bisects the properties in question, and using this route makes
joint trenching of utilities more feasible. This alignment should
require substantially less grading and disturbance of existing terrain
and maximize the amount of usable land for future development.
Mr. Keaney stated that staff has determined Churn Creek Road to be the
main north-south access road. It would be appropriate to reduce
commercial traffic on Canby Road by redesignating that property
"Residential, 18.0 units per acre." The property in question is
either already residential or vacant. On land designated retail to
the east and west of Canby, traffic can be orientated to Churn Creek
Road and Hilltop Drive.
Leonard Bandell, representing SAVI and Sharrah, Dunlap & Associates,
reviewed the manner in which his client's property became involved in
the GPA and the Browning Street problem. Mr. Bandell pointed out that
SAVI does not need the Browning Street extension to develop their
property, and they were not a part of the decision to put the road on
Mr. Kesterson's property. He stated that his clients need to retain
the commercial designation to justify the cost of road improvements.
Fran Kesterson, 1126 Old Alturas Road, submitted to Council his
recommendations dated June 2, 1987, regarding the Browning Street
alignment and a map depicting his proposed plan. Said memorandum is
incorporated by reference herein.
Council Member Gard stated that she is concerned about bisecting the
Kesterson and Little properties with a road. She emphasized that this
action is affecting people who are not currently developing their
property and precludes what options they have for the future.
John Sharrah, Sharrah, Dunlap & Associates and engineers for SAVI,
stated that it is a common practice and it makes good sense to build a
road in the bottom of a draw; it leaves no scar, and storm and sewer
easements may be incorporated together.
Mr. Perry pointed out that the swale area cannot be developed anyway.
He said the extension of Bronwing Street is to provide for the over
all circulation of the area. Mr. Perry also advised that SAVI has
participated in the cost of the Churn Creek overcrossing.
Mr. Kesterson maintained that since the Browning Street extension
benefits SAVI, they should be the ones to dedicate the land. He
pointed out that his recommended alignment will make a good division
between residential and commercial areas.
John Kenny, from Moss & Enochian and representing Elmer Roesner and
Leo Audia, stated that his clients do not want their property
designated residential; they want to be released from GPA-13-86. He
pointed out that changing the retail designation on the south and east
side of the Mall to reduce traffic and then expanding the amount of
retail on the other side does not make sense. The proposed change
affects 3½ acres of his client's property.
Glenn Cameron, 1743 Victor Avenue, stated that he is not opposed to or
for the amendment. Mr. Cameron explained that he is opposed to an
increase in traffic on Victor Avenue. He stated that speeding is a
problem, and some traffic should be directed away from Victor.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Carter, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, approving, in concept, General Plan Amendment GPA-13-86,
except the Roesner/Audia property west of Canby which will remain
retail; and directing staff to prepare a resolution to adopt GPA-13-86
at a later date.

Ayes: Council Members - Carter, Fulton, Gard and Dahl

PUBLIC HEARING - re Appeal of Use Permit UP-61-87, by Shasta Nissan
(300 East Cypress Avenue)
(L-010-390)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Dahl opened the public
hearing re Appeal of Use Permit UP-61-87.
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 May 28, 1987
Planning and Community Development Director reviewed the memorandum to
Council dated May 28, 1987. Mr. Perry submitted pictures of the
street and signs in the area. Mr. Perry explained that Shasta Nissan
requested a 16-foot-high, 48-square-foot pole sign to advertise their
Yugo franchise. They currently have two existing free pole signs.
The central issue to this appeal is the sign policies of the City
concerning retail business development. Factors considered in
reviewing that policy were aesthetics, equitable treatment of retail businesses, and existing Code restrictions.
It is the recommendation of staff that the appeal be denied. Denial
will not prohibit the installation of a separate wall sign attached to
the building to advertise Yugo.
Randall Memeo, General Counsel for Shasta Nissan, stated that they
contacted Yugo regarding a wall sign. Yugo has viewed the area and
stated that a wall sign is acceptable. Mr. Memeo stated that
regardless, the position of Shasta Nissan remains intact; they cannot
provide Yugo adequate visibility with a wall sign because of the
building setback, and their request does not violate any City code.
Council Member Gard suggested that the existing pole sign "Nissan
Used Cars" sign be replaced with the Yugo sign, and place the used car
sign on the building.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Dahl,
that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, that the appeal of Use Permit UP-61-87 be denied. Voting was
as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Carter, Fulton, Gard and Dahl
Noes: Council Members - Johannessen
Absent: Council Members - None
AIRPORTS COMMISSION APPOINTMENT
(B-080-010)
Mayor Dahl stated that he is recommending appointment of Ginne Mistal
to the Airports Commission for a four-year term. He pointed out that
commissioners serve in an advisory capacity, and he is seeking
independent thinking commis-sioners. Council Member Carter stated that
Mayor Dahl conducted interviews and followed procedures; he is in
support of the appoint-ment.
Council Member Fulton stated that the reason he opposes the appoint-
ment is that the commissioner who is being replaced did not serve a
full term. He is hard working, and Council should give him the
opportunity to serve a full term. Council Member Fulton pointed out
that Mr. Putnam has only been on the commission two years, and he has
done a good job. He added that one way Council can thank
commissioners for the work they do is by reappointing them when they
wish to serve again. Council Member Carter explained that he is not
trying to discredit his past efforts, he is supporting the Mayor and
the process.
Council Member Gard pointed out that the Mayor only makes recommenda-
tions. Mayor Dahl conveyed to Council Members Fulton and Gard that he
respects their feelings and position. He stated that his new policy
should not be looked on as rejection.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Carter, appointing Ginne Mistal to the Airports Commission for
a term of four years, expiring May 1, 1991.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Carter, Johannessen and Dahl
Noes: Council Members - Fulton and Gard
Absent: Council Members - None
RECREATION AND PARKS COMMISSION APPOINTMENT
(B-080-350)
Mayor Dahl commended Sue Kowalewski for eight years of dedication,
hard work and accomplishment on the Recreation and Parks Commission.
He recommended that Peggy Parker be appointed to the Commission for a
four-year term. Mayor Dahl emphasized that Ms. Parker is an indepen-
dent thinker, and she is concerned about maintaining the amenities of
life that Redding residents enjoy.
Council Member Fulton stressed that Ms. Kowalewski has made a great
contribution to the Commission. He emphasized that the only thing we
can give the commissioners is reappointment, if they wish to continue
service. Council Member Fulton added that Ms. Kowalewski is very
knowledgeable.
Council Member Gard stated that she is very concerned about this
appointment. She noted that Ms. Kowalewski was an original member of
the Community Development Committee and is very knowledgeable about
the community. Ms. Kowalewski has been a strong environmentalist and
an advocate of preserving the Sacramento River riverfront. Council
Member Gard added that Ms. Kowalewski has been the guiding light
behind the tree planting program and Redding being designated Tree
City, U.S.A. for three years. Council Member Gard pointed out that it
seems foolish to put aside that kind of education and tremendous
devotion. Council Member Gard noted that Ms. Parker had a poor
attendance record when she served on the Traffic and Parking
Commission, and she resigned mid-term. She would like some assurance
that Ms. Parker will attend on a regular basis. Mayor Dahl stated
that he has discussed this with Ms. Parker, and she assured him that
it will not be a problem.
Council Member Carter said that Council is shifting directions a
little bit. There are many fine people in the community who want to
serve, and he supports Mayor Dahl's position. Council Member Gard
stated that she hopes this is not a repudiation of what Ms. Kowalewski
stands for; she noted that it is important to preserve what is
beautiful about Redding. Council Member Gard emphasized that
continuity and stability are very important. Mayor Dahl stated that
balance is an important factor, and he is committed to opening up the
process to the whole community.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Carter, appointing Ms. Peggy Parker to the Recreation and Parks
Commission for a term of four years, expiring May 1, 1991.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Carter, Johannessen and Dahl
Noes: Council Members - Fulton and Gard
Absent: Council Members - None
Mayor Dahl stated that, while Joe Vondrecek has served admirably, he
is recommending that Jim Elkins be appointed to the Recreation and
Parks Commission for a term of four years.
Council Member Gard questioned what Mr. Elkin's position on in-lieu
park fees is. She wanted to know if this appointment is a change in
the Commission's philosphy. Mr. Elkins stated that he is not opposed
to in-lieu park fees, but planned developments should be able to take
advantage of a fee exemption provided for by law if they provide park
facilities.
Council Member Johannessen pointed out that it is okay for a commis-
sioner to have a different viewpoint; they are but one of a
seven-member Commission.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen, appointing Jim Elkins to the Recreation and Parks Commis-
sion for a term of four years, expiring May 1, 1991.
The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION PLAN
(P-100-320)
City Manager Christofferson explained that under the City's existing
compensation plan, the basic salary structure is a typical five-step
plan, while the compensation plan for management or exempt positions
is fixed at a single rate. He pointed out that there are zero options
with regard to salary when hiring a new management employee, and there
is no room for growth or a meaningful way that merit can be recognized
tangibly. It is the recommendation of Mr. Christofferson that Council
consider modifying the management compensation plan, and if agreeable,
direct his office to prepare a specific plan for consideration at a
later meeting.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton; seconded by Council Member
Gard, directing staff to prepare a new management compensation plan.
The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
(A-050-060)
Council Member Carter commended Council Member Gard for her
contribution to the book, "Perspectives in Local Government." She
wrote a chapter on the "deep pocket" problem and the League of
California Cities. He stated that it is an excellent book, and
Council Member Gard made an exceptional contribution.
GUN CLUB - Status Update
(C-070-010-050)
City Manager Christofferson reported that he and members of the Gun
Club met with Department of Fish and Game staff for the purpose of
exploring the availability of Pittman-Robinson Act funds to finance
relocation of the Gun Club. Mr. Christofferson explained that,
although the Department of Fish and Game liked the project contemplat-
ed, it is unlikely that funding will be available in the near future.
Staff is currently exploring other available alternatives.
Mr. Christofferson stated that Gun Club members may be able to raise
several hundred thousand dollars; and if the City could make some type
of financial contribution to the project, it is possible that advances
from the Gun Club and the City could be utilized in the short run to
acquire a site. Permanent financing could be arranged later, possibly
bond funding through the League of California Cities financing agency.
Another possibility to be considered is utilization of a portion of the Southwest Oregon Gulch site, an idea which was previously con-
sidered and abandoned.
Mr. Christofferson explained that the facility will probably generate
some cash flow from other agencies. It would be a facility used by
recreational shooters, as well as Gun Club members and police
officers. The California Highway Patrol is also interested in using
the facility for training purposes. Mr. Christofferson noted that the
larger the facility is, the more capable it will be of drawing
participation from the entire region. He noted that it would be open
to the public; the City would retain ownership, and the Gun Club would
manage it.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Carter, authorizing staff to continue researching the matter of
financing relocation of the Gun Club. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
DATE SELECTION FOR COMMUNITY GOALS SESSION
(A-050-060)
City Manager Christofferson recommended that Council's next community
goals session be held July 18, 1987, at 9:00 A.M., at the Shasta
House. Council concurred with this date.
RECOMMENDED BUDGET FOR 1987-88
(B-130-070)
City Manager Christofferson submitted the 1987-88 budget to Council.
Mr. Christofferson expressed his appreciation to all department heads
for their work on the budget, with special thanks to Director of
Finance Linda Downing and Director of General Services Ron Masingale.
He noted that Council will probably want to hold several study
sessions to review the budget. With the concurrence of Council
Members, the first study session was set for Monday, June 8, 1987 at
4:00 P.M. in the City Hall Conference Room.
LEGISLATIVE MATTERS
(L-040-300)
City Manager Christofferson reported that SB1506 would require that
special district representation be provided on a mandatory basis on
LAFCO. Mr. Christofferson stated that it appears to be an unnecessary
bill. LAFCO is well balanced at present, and although special dis-
trict representation is permissible, it is not widely utilized. It is
the recommendation of Mr. Christofferson that Council take a position
in opposition to SB1506.
Mr. Christofferson reported that AB671 would set up a general
obligation bond issue for transportation projects. The 1.5 million
dollar bond issue would be set for the June, 1988 ballot and will
split funds between State highway projects and local street projects.
It is the recommendation of Mr. Christofferson that Council support
AB671. He stated that it seems to be a good bill and provides the
public the opportunity to vote to provide more funding for transporta-
tion.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Carter, directing staff to prepare communications from the Mayor to
our legislative representatives and appropriate committees in oppo-
sition to SB1506 and in support of AB671. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

(E-120-070-425)
Electric Director Lindley reported that staff is currently assembling
project documents which will provide the necessary background for
submission to our legislative representatives. Mr. Lindley stated
that the June 1st meeting with members of Council, the Electric
Utility Commission and staff was very positive. He advised that
consensus seems to be that regardless of the ultimate size of the
project, we need to press forward and bring this project to a conclu-
sion. Mr. Lindley noted that there will be more meetings to prepare
the position papers and sustain a forward direction.
RESOLUTION - Annexation Request 86-7, Manzanoaks Drive
(A-150-187)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed the memo-
randum to Council dated May 26, 1987. Mr. Perry reported that 88% of

AIRPORT PARK SUBDIVISION
(C-070-200)

Aviation Administration (FAA) approval of surplus property desig-
nation, process the tentative map through the Planning Commission for
consideration, environmental determination and General Plan consisten-
cy, seek improvement funds, and market the property or make it avail-
able for development.
Council Member Gard noted that the idea of surplus property does not
preclude the option of leasing. She pointed out that the City should
be buying land in the airport area, not selling it. Council Member
Gard stated that the parcels should be leased for industrial develop-
ment. Mayor Dahl concurred that they are committed to industrial
development in the airport area.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council Member
