north of Kenyon Drive on the west side of Cedars Road be cut down.

to motorists is impaired.

Planner Will, and Transportation Coordinator Duryee have viewed the
intersection in question. Staff has concluded that visibility is not
impaired because it is a four-way stop intersection.

registered civil engineer and a specialist in this field. Council
concurred that there is no overriding reason to cut the tree down.
Letter from Mr. Alan Guinn - re Skateboard Regulations

Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers, stating that their restaurant on

parking lot as a speedway to slingshot out into opposing traffic on
Pine Street. The situation is antagonized by the fact that the
skateboarders have destroyed sprinkler heads in their irrigation
system.
City Attorney Hays noted that skateboarding is regulated in the
Downtown Mall. He stated that drafting the regulation is not a
problem, but enforcement is. Mr. Hays proposed that Council refer the
matter to him, and he will meet with the Chief of Police. With the
concurrence of Council, Mayor Dahl referred the matter of skateboard
regulation to the office of the City Attorney and Chief of Police.

The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Dahl opened the public
hearing re Appeal of Denial of Use Permit Application UP-28087.
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 11, 1987
City Clerk Nichols submitted a letter to Council from Ms. Cathy Mayer
expressing opposition to the Appeal of UP-28-87.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that the
applicant, Mr. Robert Milton, has requested a continuance of this
public hearing to allow them the opportunity to submit further infor-
mation at the Planning Commission level.
Ms. Carol Franklin, 1415 Chestnut Street, stated that she is strongly
opposed to construction of a day care center in a designated residen-
tial area. Ms. Franklin conveyed that she is unhappy about delay tactics used by the applicant to drag this matter out through the
summer.
Ms. Deena Humble, 1400 Chestnut Street, pointed out that the area
already has a serious traffic problem; residential parking on Chestnut
and Willis Streets is by permit, and a two-hour parking limit is in
effect.
Ms. Norma Scott, 1364 Chestnut Street, stated that the area is des-
ignated residential and should be maintained as such.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes
Council Member Fulton stated that Council should act tonight to deny
the appeal. He suggested that the applicant is using delaying tac-
tics, and residents should not be penalized because of it. Council
Member Johannessen stated that he is not in favor of the project in
that area because of the traffic impact on the neighborhood. Mayor
Dahl stated that he is concerned that some evidence is not being
considered. Council Member Gard said that it is not an appropriate
land use and questioned why staff recommended approval.
Mr. Perry responded that staff identified both pros and cons surround-
ing the project. Because of the proximity to Shasta County School's
Offices and the Courthouse, day care facilities are compatible. Staff
believed the parking situation to be debatable.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Gard, denying the Appeal of Use Permit Application UP-28-87, by
Robert Milton. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
PUBLIC HEARING - re Planned Development Application PD-1-87, East
Redding Estates, by Bruce Beers (2575 & 2585 Yana Avenue)
(L-010-210-145)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Dahl opened the public
hearing re Planned Development Application PD-1-87, East Redding
Estates.
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 10, 1987
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that the
applicant is requesting the rezoning of 12.02 acres located at 2575
and 2585 Yana Avenue from "U" Unclassified District to "PD" Planned
Development District for the development of a 72 lot high security
complex for senior citizens.
Mr. Alden Cockerill, 2655 Yana Avenue, stated that he is concerned
with the site plan because the buildings on the southern extremity are
within 15 feet of property lines, and the RV and mini storage location
is undesirable. Mr. Cockerill stated that storing the RVs in the same location constitutes a fire danger to the neighbors and is not aes-
thetically pleasing. He requested that the site plan be amended to
move the RV storage area to where the tennis court is now located.
Mr. Perry noted that buildings on the southern property line will be
one-story construction and a seven-foot fence will surround the
development.
Mr. Harold Shaw, 2799 Bechelli Lane and designer of East Redding
Estates, reported that the only entrance to the development is on East
Cypress Avenue, and a tennis court in that location will be more
attractive than a storage area. Mr. Shaw explained that the storage
area will be enclosed with a decorative seven-foot block wall and
noted that storing the RVs together will look better than storing them
in front of the homes.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, 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 regarding Planned
Development Application PD-1-87:

mended that the Old City Hall bell be rung for the first time on

LEGISLATIVE MATTERS
(L-040-300)
City Manager Christofferson reported that ACA27 is a Constitutional
Amendment to impose substantive and procedural requirements for the
adoption of fees and assessments by cities, counties, and special
districts in the State. It would require a city-wide vote on anything
in the way of a broad fee of any type. It is the recommendation of
the City Manager that Council take a position of opposition to ACA27.
Mr. Christofferson stated that SB323 would significantly increase
various workers' compensation benefits, including the weekly temporary
disability benefit, the maximum workers' compensation death benefit
and various other changes. The bill is estimated to cost local
agencies several million dollars and is not reimbursable by the State.
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that Council take a
position of opposition to SB323.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Carter, to oppose ACA27 and SB323 and send letters stating such
to the appropriate committees, legislators and the League of

ANNEXATION REQUEST 87-1 - Redding Rancheria
(A-150-194)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed the memo-
randum to Council dated June 9, 1987. Mr. Perry stated that Redding
Rancheria has expressed the desire to purchase water from the City
while maintaining their tribal status. Staff has reviewed and com-
mented upon the request and it is the recommendation of staff to
provide water service to the Rancheria contingent upon annexation.
Mr. Leland Foreman, Chairman of the Redding Rancheria Tribal Office,
explained that the present water system serves 60 people with one
well. The lines are rotting and the water is contaminated by a septic
system which will not leach properly because of saturated ground from
the nearby ACID canal. The Rancheria would like to contract for water
with the City of Redding.
Council Member Carter suggested that the Rancheria negotiate with the
Anderson-Cottonwood Irrigation District for water and build a storage
system to hold water during the winter months. Council Member
Johannessen stated that although he understands their desire to
maintain their sovereign status, it is City policy to provide water
only within City limits.
Mayor Dahl asked if the Rancheria is planning for any commercial
development in the future, and Mr. Foreman responded not at this time.
Council Member Fulton asked if the water contamination and health
hazard could be documented and suggested they do so. Mr. Perry stated
that the Rancheria could receive water if they would annex to the
City. He explained that without annexation, the City does not have
the ability to control land use, and parcels could be added to the
Rancheria at a later date.
Council Member Gard pointed out that the issue is health. She asked
if the contamination problem could be addressed by a new well and
lines, and if Indian Health Service's (IHS) money can only be used to
hook up to City water. Mr. Foreman explained that ground saturation
is a problem, and they have not talked with IHS regarding any other
project.
Mr. Ben Drake, 2004 Redding Rancheria Road, stated that he is one of
five non-Indian families who would like to annex to the City of
Redding. Mr. Drake explained that they do not have a lot of money to build an expensive water system.
Ms. Rene Rich, Administrator of the Redding Rancheria Tribe, stated
that IHS will pay for the Indians' share of cost for the oversized
line and special benefit and hook-up charges. Ms. Rich explained that
there are many handicapped and elderly persons living on the
Rancheria.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, to supply water to Redding Rancheria contingent upon annexa-
tion. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
City Attorney Hays stated that the Rancheria does have the ability to
surrender their land use. He advised that there is room for nego-
tiation.
RESOLUTION - Sacramento River Trail Bridge
(P-050-460)
Council Member Carter stated that he will abstain from discussion or
voting on this issue.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed the memo-
randum to Council dated June 11, 1987. Mr. Perry reported that
funding from the 1986 Parkland Bond Act and the 1987 Land and Water
Conservation Act has been approved for construction of the bridge.
The 1987-88 preliminary budget requested $240,000 in funds; and if
approved, $53,500 in City Park Development Funds will be necessary to
complete the funding.

Federal agencies. The State Lands Commission has approved the permit

RESOLUTION - Hillside Aviation Lease of Hangar Facilities at Benton
Airpark
(A-090-020 & C-070-100)
Airports Director Homan reported that the CH2M Hill lease for the
six-bay hangar located at Benton Airpark expires in September of 1987;
and at that time, they plan to move their operation to Redding Munici-
pal Airport. Mr. Homan stated that the issue before Council is
whether the lease should go out to bid or be assigned to Hillside
Aviation. It is the recommendation of staff that the entire hangar be
leased to Hillside Aviation, the fixed base operator (FBO) at Benton,
for a period of three years at a rate of $11,700 per annum.
Council Member Johannessen stated that he would like to see who is
interested in the hangars and for what price. City Manager
Christofferson stated that Mercy Air Ambulance inquired, and Hillside
is willing to sublease two of the hangars to them. This arrangement
will alleviate the burden of the City administrating those hangars.
Council Member Gard emphasized that this is an expansion of the FBO.
The issue is if Council is interested in supporting the FBO and if
this is an appropriate use at Benton. She pointed out that it is
extremely important to help them stabilize and expand.
Mr. Steve Miller, Hillside Aviation, stated that Hillside Aviation is
paying more for hangar space than anyone else in Redding. He pointed
out that there is only one electrical meter for the hangars and the
east side of the building is set up for maintenance. Mr. Miller
explained that they want to expand their business by bringing in
damaged aircraft for repair and building specialized aircraft parts.
It is their hope to hire another four to five employees.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Carter, to adopt Resolution No. 87-197, a resolution of the City
Council of the City of Redding approving the Lease Agreement between
the City of Redding and Hillside Aviation, and authorizing the Mayor
to sign same.

EXTENSION OF CLEAR CREEK WATER LINE
(W-030-725)
Public Works Director Arness reported that the City of Redding Water
Utility has been asked to provide service for the sawmill and
cogeneration plant located on Clear Creek Road. A 12-inch water line
extension, approximately 15,000 feet in length, is needed to provide
service. Mr. Arness stated that the applicant is willing to install a
16-inch line, as this size is indicated on the Redding Master Water
Plan, provided the City pay for the difference between a 12-inch and
16-inch water line and they be further reimbursed through the payment
of front-footage fees when property adjacent to them connects. Mr.
Arness pointed out that the City will receive approximately $78,250 in
special benefit and connection charges, and this money could be used
to fund part of the oversizing. Mr. Arness advised that they will
probably be the largest consumer of water in the City.
Council Member Fulton indicated that he is concerned with the length
of the water line this project will require and wondered if industrial
use is the best use of the water. Mr. Arness conveyed that the
project fits the Master Plan.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council Member
Gard, approving the proposed extension of Clear Creek water line to
the sawmill and cogeneration plant located at 17450 Clear Creek Road.
