WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
Letter from Ellen Marie Blissenbach - Re Automobiles for Sale on
Public and Private Property
(A-010-140)
A letter was received from Ellen Marie Blissenbach requesting
staff to investigate the temporary parking of automobiles for
sale on private and public property. Ms. Blissenbach noted that
it creates a poor image in our community, and she hoped that an
ordinance could be passed to prohibit this practice.

may have a model ordinance.
With the concurrence of Council, Mayor Dahl referred this matter
to the Planning Department for review.

Letter from the Optimist Club
(C-050-050)
A letter was received from the Optimist Club stating that they do
not have the manpower and resources to continue the 4th of July
celebration at the Convention Center and hoped that the City
could take responsibility for the event.
City Manager Christofferson conveyed that, because of the high
demand for pyrotechnic contractors during the 4th of July, it is
essential to move quickly to secure the services of a
pyrotechnician. It is, therefore, his recommendation that
Council grant conceptual approval of a July 4 fireworks show for
the community so that the necessary advance preparation can
begin. He added that the pyrotechnician who designed last year's
celebration has expressed willingness to contract with the City
this year. There is $5000 budgeted for the current year.
Additional money could be budgeted and sponsorships utilized to
offset City advances.
Mr. Christofferson noted that there is some merit in considering
a 101st birthday party in early October and a financing base
could be built that would accommodate both.
Council Member Gard suggested that the games for children and the
"State" areas be retained in the July 4 celebration, and she
noted that there should be some protection built for the lights
and wiring in the fountains. Council Member Gard pointed out
that the October 4, 1988, date coincides with the annual Redding
Museum and Art Faire, and staff should check with the Museum.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Carter, to contract for 4th of July fireworks. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes.

Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
Planning Commission recommendation dated March 30, 1988
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that
the Planning Commission recommended rezoning property at 2111
Airpark Drive from "CO-B15-F" Commercial Office District to "PD"
Planned Development District for the development of a mixed-use
medical office complex consisting of 29,900 square feet of office
space and a 36-seat restaurant. It is the recommendation of
staff that the rezoning be approved as recommended.
Ted Klaseen, 2295 Oak Ridge Drive, noted that placement of the
sewer line has not been decided. He questioned how a project can
be approved without that information.
Jesse Holland, Americor--448 Redcliff Drive, stated that they are
looking for an alternate route for the sewer line, but they will
probably request a small easement across Mr. Klaseen's property.
Mr. Holland conveyed that they are requesting an encroachment
permit into the open space easement for brush clearing.
In response to an inquiry by Council Member Johannessen, Mr.
Perry noted that City policy has been to allow some encroachment
into the open space, but it cannot be left bare.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Carter, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes
Mr. Perry noted that the proposed sewer route crosses the lower
edge of Mr. Klaseen's property. He explained that Council is
approving a conceptual development plan, and if approved, the
developer will go forward with the engineering, etc. If they are
unable to reach an agreement with Mr. Klaseen, it is their
obligation to find another way to route the sewer.
Council Member Gard emphasized that it is important not to
impinge on these open spaces; we must preserve open spaces and
maintain the characteristics of the City.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council
Member Gard, that Council make the following findings regarding
Planned Development Application PD-1-88:
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.
and, ratify the Negative Declaration authorized by the Board of
Administrative Review on February 24, 1988. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Carter, that Council find in accordance with the Government Code

Planning Commission recommendation dated March 23, 1988
Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that
Council approved the Oasis Road Area Plan, with the exclusion of
the Cowling and Racki properties, at the March 1, 1988 meeting.
It is the recommendation of staff that the area be prezoned, as
recommended by the Planning Commission, with the deletion of the
Racki and Cowling properties.
Bruce Webb, Shasta Dam Area Public Utility District, requested
that property under Shook ownership be deleted from Rezoning
Application RZ-1-88 and placed under the District's sphere of
influence.
Mike Wells, attorney for C.M. Shook and Trustee of the Shook
Vaughn Minor's Trust and the Jane Vaughn Trust, stated that his
clients, as well as the prospective owners of the property, want
to annex to the City and favor the staff recommendation to
include the Shook property into Rezoning Application RZ-1-88.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes
Mr. Perry stated that the ordinance submitted to Council for
their consideration tonight excludes the Racki and Cowling
properties and includes the Shook property.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, certifying that Council has reviewed and considered
EIR-1-87. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member

loss of open space. The vote: Unanimous Ayes

RESOLUTION RE "THROUGH-THE-FENCE" - Redding Municipal Airport
(A-090-100)
Airports Director Homan reviewed the Report to City Council dated March 24, 1988, and it is incorporated by reference herein. Mr.
Homan stated that it is the recommendation of staff, the Master Plan Consultants (Hodges & Shutt), and the Airports Commission that the City adopt a no "through-the-fence" policy for the
Municipal Airport. He advised that the FAA also recommends that
the City reject any "through-the-fence" proposal.
Dave Dietz, Hodges & Shutt Master Planner, stated that the runway
must be protected, and they recommend that those parcels oriented
toward the Airport be acquired and avigation easements be granted
on the larger, west side parcels. Mr. Dietz noted that,
regardless of the controversy surrounding the Sanders' and Shasta
Enterprises' property, those parcels would have to have been
acquired. He added that property owners on the south end of the
runway could also ask for access; and in other airports, history
has shown that it is difficult to control access. They are
recommending a no "through-the-fence" policy and acquisition of
the Sanders and Shasta Enterprises property.
Mayor Dahl read a letter from the California Department of
Transportation, Division of Aeronautics, which is incorporated by
reference herein, which states that it is the Department's policy
to oppose and discourage off-airport "through-the-fence"
operations on the basis that such activity may adversely impact
the stability and economic viability of an airport.
Leonard Bandell, attorney for Allison Sanders--1330 West Street,
questioned why this agenda item was taken out of order.
City Attorney Hays explained that, because of the way the agenda
is numbered, it was appropriate to take this item out of order.
He added that Council has that prerogative.
Mr. Bandell objected to Mr. Homan's letter to Michael Mavrakis
dated October 27, 1986, and stated that the letter is not
adequate as a letter of application. He pointed out that Mr.
Mavrakis' response was to request the preparation and submission
of a revised Airport Layout Plan showing the development, and
this was not done. Mr. Bandell said that Mr. Homan has used this
letter as evidence for denying "through-the-fence" access.
Mr. Bandell said that the City can adopt policy identical to that
of the FAA's and that policy allows "through-the-fence." He
stated that everything that has been brought before Council has
been done to protect the City's interest in the Airport, tie-down
fees, etc.
Mr. Bandell contended, with regard to the proposed resolution
confirming opposition to "through-the-fence" access, that there
is no support for Item No. 1 and Item No. 2. He pointed out
that, with regard to Item No. 3, it is necessary for FAA to
approve access off and on the runway. Regarding Item No. 4, Mr.
Bandell stated that they are not asking for exclusive access.
Mr. Bandell stated that staff has not been able to produce a
letter saying FAA will block all funding.
Mr. Bandell referred to retired Airports Director Woodrum's
letter dated September, 1982, and noted that Woodrum asked the
FAA to give any reason for not granting a taxiway, and Mavarkis'
response does not make any reference to funding.
4/5/88
Council Member Johannessen pointed out that the letter does state that it would serve the best interest of the City to deny access. Mr. Bandell conveyed that he does not know what the exact application was for, but some jobs were lost because of that. He added that as long as there is an economic denuded zone, there will be a loss of jobs to the City and County. Mr. Bandell
requested that a decision on this policy wait until the Master
Plan Update comes before Council.
Mr. Bandell stated that the taxiway should have (1) been approved
on the Airport Master Plan and (2) a Notice of Construction
submitted. He opined that Mr. Homan skipped the first step and
went right to step number two.
Mr. Homan stated that he transmitted a letter with Minutes
excerpts and the Airport Layout Plan, which was modified by
Hodges and Shutt to show the easement. The FAA denied the
request because the private taxiway was on federal grant land and
it was private access.
Leonard Wingate, attorney for Shasta Enterprises--292 Hemsted
Drive, referred to the Mavrakis letter dated December 2, 1986.
He noted that Mavrakis' response was to request preparation and
submission of a revised layout plan showing the proposed
development. Mr. Wingate concurred that while Mr. Homan may have
included the airport layout plan, he had not requested the
airport layout be approved; he skipped a step.
Mr. Wingate stated that the Airport Land Use Commission will be
holding public hearings on the Airport Master Plan Update and
Part 150 Study; Council should consider these issues after that
process is completed. It is premature for Council to consider
this with the little knowledge that Council has.
Council Member Fulton stated that this is a statement of policy.
Mr. Wingate indicated that if Council acts on this issue, they
will be taking away, from the public, the value of their comments
on this issue. He opined that the issue is not Federal funds, it
is not noise; the issue is if Council is going to allow any
competition from private enterprise.
Mr. Homan stated that the adoption of the Master Plan will come
before Council next month, and we are trying to resolve the issue
now.
Council Member Gard stated that Council is well informed on the
issues.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council
Member Gard, that Resolution No. 88-133 be adopted, a resolution
of the City Council of the City of Redding confirming a policy of
opposition to "through-the-fence" Airport access by private
property owners adjacent to the Redding Municipal Airport.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Carter, Fulton, Gard, Johannessen and
Dahl
Noes: Council Members - None
Absent: Council Members - None
Resolution No. 88-133 is on file in the office of the City Clerk.
4/5/88
Council Member Carter said he was hoping something could have
been worked out with the property owners. He noted that the FAA will be releasing a substantial amount of funds, and he is concerned that discretionary funding may be eradicated. Council Member Johannessen concurred with Council Member Gard and
noted that Council is informed on this matter. Council must act to ensure that the Airport is protected. He noted that Mr.
Pheifer, from the FAA, stated that whereas this may have been a
gray area before, there is an FAA internal order stating no
"through-the-fence" access. FAA is concerned with security and
economic viability, and they will fund those airports where they
feel they can get the most return on their money. The City's
action will be reviewed very carefully. Mr. Pheifer has stated
that despite the political and legal problems involved,
condemnation is the way to go; followed by a clear statement of
policy.
Mayor Dahl noted that economic development is Council's priority.
He added that the significance of this will be felt in 15 to 20
years.
AIRPORT-ORIENTED USE - Redding Municipal Airport
(L-010-390)
Airports Director Homan recalled that in 1981, City Council
approved an easement for Allison Sanders to have a
private-taxiway access, and one of the conditions of the easement
was that any Airport-oriented usage on the property be submitted
to the Airports Commission and the City Council for approval.
Mr. Homan stated that the Planning Commission approved a Use
Permit (Use Permit Application 121-86, by Allison Sanders) for a
warehouse and six-place hangar, and Mr. Sanders is now requesting
Council approval.
Mr. Homan stated that consideration should be given to the same
extent and standards as previous determinations on other Airport
leases and permits. It is the recommendation of staff that
Council approve the proposed Airport-oriented use. Mr. Homan
stated that approval will not impact policy regarding
"through-the-fence" or anything else.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Carter, approving the use of a warehouse and six-place hangar
proposed by Allison Sanders. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
PUBLIC HEARING - re (1) Resolution of Public Convenience and
Necessity, property located on Old Oregon Trail and owned by
Allison Sanders, Bessie Sanders, Joe Lee Sanders, and Sanders
Construction Company; and (2) Resolution of Public Convenience
and Necessity, property located on Old Oregon Trail and owned by
Shasta Enterprises
(C-070-010 & A-090-100)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Dahl opened the
public hearing re the Resolutions of Public Convenience and
Necessity.
The following documents are on file in the office of the City
Clerk:
Affidavit of Service - Notice of Public Hearing -

Enterprises
4/5/88
Assistant City Attorney McNeill reviewed the Report to City Council dated March 31, 1988. He acknowledged a memo from
Airports Director Homan and the City's Airport Master Plan Consultant stating justification for acquisition of these properties. Mr. McNeill stated that acquisition of the
properties has been recommended based upon: (1) land use compatibility for present and future Airport growth, proximity to the present and future runway, and high
noise impact on the property;
(2) elimination of the "through-the-fence" easement which
jeopardizes FAA grant funding; and
(3) elimination of the "through-the-fence" easement and related
operations as a matter of Airport policy.
It is the recommendation of staff that Council approve the
Resolutions of Public Convenience and Necessity for acquisition
of these properties by eminent domain.
Leonard Bandell, 1330 West Street, representing Sanders, stated
that the Sanders object to the notice sent to them on the
following grounds: he has not been authorized by the Sanders to
be a designated agent for receipt of statutory notices and all
such notices are to go directly to his clients; the notice does
not reference the Council's intent to adopt the resolution; the
notice is defective in that it does not alert the property owners
to the elements of the project, thus, it does not allow them the
opportunity to prepare an adequate case. Mr. Bandell stated that
a hearing is premature at this time, and is being heard on
defective notice.
Council Member Carter questioned if the lack of notice would
affect his presentation.
Mr. Bandell stated that it does not afford his client due
process.
Council Member Johannessen asked what area Mr. Bandell does not
have information on.
Mr. Bandell stated that he has been informed on all parts of this
matter, but he did not have time to review the materials or go
through the file.
Mr. McNeill stated that the law requires reasonable, adequate
written notice on what is proposed to take place at a public
hearing. He noted that Mr. Bandell also received actual notice
at the last Council meeting that it was staff's intention to
bring the resolution before Council tonight.
Council Member Gard said she finds it hard to believe that his
clients will not be well represented.
Regarding the proposed Resolution, section (a), Mr. Bandell noted
that the City is not asking for access of property on the west
side, and there is no recommendation to take that property. He
said there is no need for open space on either side.
4/5/88
Regarding section (b), Mr. Bandell noted that the FAA will have to approve safety mechanisms. Regarding section (c), Mr. Bandell stated that the impact of noise on property located on the west side is no different than that on the east side. He referred to a letter from Hodges &
Shutt saying noise is not a major impact. Regarding section (d), Mr. Bandell stated that staff has not been
able to provide a statement saying the taxiway will affect grant
funding.
Mr. Bandell stated that he would like the deposition of Michael
J. Mavrakis taken on October 20, 1986, be incorporated by
reference herein. He noted that he can find the question, but
not the answer to..."have any of such taxiways been a factor in
denying an airport owner Federal funding," ..... "we don't deny
any funds unless a decision is made that that taxiway easement is
objectionable." Mr. Bandell said the issue is whether the City
is going to renege on the 1981 contract; his clients believe they
have given the City their due, and they refute staff's assertion
that it will harm FAA funding.
Leonard Wingate, 292 Hemsted, representing Shasta Enterprises,
noted that the two public hearings are being heard concurrently,
and requested that all remarks relating to Sanders by Mr. Bandell
be on record for Shasta Enterprises also. Mr. Wingate requested
that his letter, with 28 exhibits, dated October 3, 1986,
regarding the Resolution of Public Convenience and Necessity for
the purpose of acquiring Shasta Enterprises' property at a public
hearing October 6, 1986, be incorporated by reference herein.
Mr. Wingate said that, considering that the Board of Supervisors
and the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) will be holding public
hearings in May, the adoption of a no "through-the-fence" policy
now is premature. He added that the Master Plan Update and Part
150 Study has not been adopted. Mr. Wingate noted that Council
had a policy of allowing "through-the-fence" in order to
encourage economic development at the Airport; those plans are
still in existence and what has changed is your policy. He asked
what Council views as the project, which gives Council the right
to adopt a resolution of public convenience and necessity, and is
it the policy that it just adopted regarding "though-the-fence"?
Mr. McNeill stated that there was no previous policy favoring
"through-the-fence," so he does not see this as a modification of
that. The project is acquisition of Shasta Enterprises' property
and it's easement and Sanders' property and its easement, on the
grounds indicated in the memo.
City Attorney Hays stated that the project is not the policy.
Mr. Wingate noted that there are certain findings Council must
make when the resolution is adopted. The Code states that land
can be acquired for a project; there is no project, and, thus,
nothing that requires you to have this property. Council action
is premature. He added that the ALUC has jurisdiction over this.
Council Member Gard asked if protection of the public interest is
considered a project. City Attorney Hays responded yes. He
noted that the viewgraph shown by Hodges & Shutt shows that the
property sits within FAA guidelines.
4/5/88
Dave Dietz, Hodges & Shutt, explained that they have made three types of recommendations: avigation easements, acquisition, and
development rights. Mr. Dietz indicated that design restrictions are high on the south side of the runway, and the City may have to buy them. The recommendation is to buy those properties that
are shallow, and ask for an avigation easement on large properties and construction be designed away from the runway. Mr. Dietz added that there is additional policy in the Master Plan which tries to eliminate uses by people.
Council Member Johannessen asked what jurisdiction the ALUC has
over this.
Planning Director Perry stated that the ALUC will review the
Airport Land Use Plan. They are concerned with land use planning
to protect the airport, and he does not think they have the
authorization to approve "through-the-fence" access. Mr. Dietz
stated that the ALUC does not have jurisdiction over the
operations of an airport.
Mr. Bandell asked what precluded Council from condemning those
portions of properties on the west side. He noted that if
portions of these properties can be restricted with compensation,
why can't use of the Sanders' property be taken with an avigation
easement with compensation.
Mr. Hays pointed out that Sanders' parcel is substantially
smaller.
Mr. Dietz explained that if an avigation easement and additional
design restrictions were applied to the east side, there would
not be any opportunity for use left.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, that the public hearings be closed. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes

Fulton, that Resolution No. 88-134 be adopted, a resolution of

COMMITTEE ON HOUSING, COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT - League
of California Cities
(L-040-150)
Council Member Gard stated that the Committee on Housing,
Community and Economic Development met on March 30, 1988. She
noted that a subcommittee will be studying LAFCO to see what
positive changes can be made. Council Member Gard suggested that
staff provide input and ideas to the subcommittee on LAFCO
reform.
Council Member Gard conveyed that the Redevelopment Committee has
been charged to look at a statewide problem. Redevelopment
agencies are gathering money and not spending it; thus, pools of
cash for housing redevelopment projects are being set aside. She
noted that there are all kinds of potential solutions, and we
should provide input and see that the money is spent on what it
was intended.
Council Member Gard noted that legislation is pending on open
space and fire hazards. She suggested that Chief Bailey and
Assistant Chief Hiebert pay close attention to that legislation
and provide some input.
Council Member Gard expressed her appreciation for the
opportunity to serve on this committee.
MASTER SITE PLAN FOR CIVIC CENTER
(C-050-025)
City Manager Christofferson reported that staff has been working
with the architects, Nichols, Melburg & Rossetto, on the
development of a master site plan for the civic center. Mr.
Christofferson stated that the preliminary master site plan has
been developed, and he introduced Mr. Les Melburg who presented
the site plan to Council.
Council expressed approval of the preliminary site plan.
COMMUNITY GOALS - Recommendation for Council Retreat
(A-050-060)
City Manager Christofferson recommended that Council consider the
date of April 30, 1988, for the next Council retreat to discuss
community goals. Council concurred with this date and instructed
Mr. Christofferson to go forward with plans for the next retreat.

general population would be offered in the Record Searchlight.
The survey is to be completed this month, hopefully in time for
consideration at the next Council retreat.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council

FORMATION OF CITIZENS' ADVISORY COMMITTEE - Library Service
(L-050)
City Manager Christofferson indicated that there has been a high
level of interest and concern regarding continuity of library
service, and the time is appropriate to approach the matter of
inviting and mobilizing citizen involvement in library service.
Mr. Christofferson recommended that an organizational meeting be
held on May 10, 1988, at the Convention Center to establish a
citizen's advisory committee for the support of library service.
Mayor Dahl concurred with the recommendation to bring together
numerous organizations and individuals committed to having a
library, and requested approval to create a special Council
liaison composed of himself, Council Member Johannessen, and
Council Member Carter as an alternate.
Council Member Gard suggested that organizations be contacted and
requested to send a representative to the meeting. She noted
that by designating representatives, communication flows in both
directions.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, to adopt the proposal to hold an organizational meeting
on May 10, 1988, at the Convention Center, to establish a
citizen's advisory committee for the support of library service
and that notice be mailed to every organization with a request to
send a representative to the meeting. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

the Cowling property and the area currently within the Shasta Dam
Area P.U.D. Sphere of Influence. It is the recommendation of
staff that annexation proceedings commence for the remaining two
parcels.

ORDINANCE - Class C Fire Retardant Roofing
(C-110-100 & P-150-070)
Fire Chief Bailey reported that it is present City policy to
require fire retardant roofs on lots that back onto open space
areas as a condition of approval of a subdivision map, but this
policy does not apply to pre-existing lots onto open space areas.
Chief Bailey stated that it is the recommendation of staff that
an ordinance be adopted requiring fire retardant roofs in high
risk areas, which includes all steep and brushy terrain and areas
with large open wildland areas. He noted that the Fire Task
Force Report, and the Shasta Builder's Exchange also recommend
this action.
Kent Dagg, Executive Director of the Shasta Builder's Exchange,
thanked Council and staff for giving the Builder's Exchange the
opportunity to work with the City on this ordinance. He noted
that there is a clause in the ordinance stating that the map of
hazardous fire areas shall be updated on a yearly basis. Mr.
Dagg conveyed that the Builder's Exchange asked that an appeals
board be set up to review appeals pertaining to this matter; but
staff recommended against it because there is an existing Board
of Appeals. He asked Council to reconsider setting up an appeals
board during the yearly review.
4/5/88
Council Member Johannessen offered Ordinance No. 1848 for first reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding
