GROWTH COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION - Upper Churn Creek Sewer
Assessment District
Councilman Kirkpatrick reviewed the recommendation from the
Growth Committee to Council, dated November 13 , 1980 , pertaining
to the proposed Upper Churn Creek Assessment District. Said lo01
recommendation is hereby made a part of these minutes by refer-
ence. The Committee considered sewer-line capacity in relation
to General Plan densities, City-limit lines, and one property
owner' s conditional signing. Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that the
12/1/80
460
line is proposed to be constructed in accordance with Plan "B"
of the Master Sewer Plan. The area would serve approximately
3, 460 acres and will have a capacity of approximately 9 , 000
household equivalents. He stated that, according to the engineers
for the Assessment District, the line would serve approximately
5, 005 HE, including commercial, industrial and residential uses
in 2, 130 acres.
Mr. Kirkpatrick said that as proposed, the Assessment District
would construct a sewer line which, based on the General Plan, is
sufficient to serve the area within the Assessment District and
still allow for urbanization of the remainder of the area up to
the regional sewer-service boundary. He discussed the policy
for hookups to the system and the distribution of household
equivalents in the subject area. The difference in the County
and City General Plans within the boundaries of the Assessment
District was also discussed and it is the recommendation of the
Growth Committee that, if property owners outside the City wish
to use the services of the City, they should work under the same
General Plan as those property owners in the City .
The last issue discussed in the report was that of conditional
signups . Mr. Kirkpatrick stated it is the opinion of the Committee
that conditional signups should not be permitted as an indirect
way of amending the General Plan. He stated that the Committee
recommends that Council proceed with the Assessment District, and
listed six conditions under which it should do so. Mr. Kirkpatrick
concluded that the Committee feels the proper procedure for any
property owner in the District desiring additional units , is to
request a General Plan amendment.
Councilwoman Gard noted that the Growth Committee had prepared
an excellent report and has offered good solutions . She added
that the assignment of household equivalents is a way to alleviate
the problem of people participating in assessment districts , only
to find that the line is full at the time they wish to connect.
Mayor Pugh agreed and felt it is necessary to calculate the
burden on utilities and identify the areas of demand for future
development.
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman
Kirkpatrick approving the recommendation of the Growth Committee
dated November 13, 1980, regarding the Upper Churn Creek Sewer
Assessment District and direct staff to proceed with the assess-
ment district subject to the conditions outlined by the Growth
Committee. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

annexation No. 80-10, Mt. Vista Subdivision and Redwoods Mobile-
' ca"� home Park, consisting of 289 acres located generally west of
Highway 273, north of Lake Boulevard and south of the Mountain
Lakes Industrial Park. A map of the area was shown on the
Vu Graph. Mr. Perry advised that at the conclusion of its
hearing, LAFCO amended the application to delete the southern
160 acres.
Mr. Perry said that the City has sought to annex the entire
area as requested by LAFCO several years ago. He stated that
the annexation as commenced by Council on October 6 , 1980 , would
achieve
that goal, as less than 20 percent of the land value
opposes the annexation and an overwhelming number of registered
voters are in favor.
It is the recommendation of staff that Council request LAFCO
to reconsider the deletion of the southern 160 acres .
Councilwoman Gard noted that Council recognizes the problem
for the property owner of the southern 160 acres but stated
that he is in limbo and will continue to be until the problem
is resolved. (Refer to letter dated 11/6/80 , written to LAFCO
by property owner. )

� in two areas to the City. The first property is located generally

located between Fig Tree Lane and the Municipal Airport. A
map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry noted
that together, they total 490 acres.
Mr. Perry stated that most of the area in question lies outside
the boundaries of the Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. In
reviewing the proposed annexation with the Growth Committee,
it was the opinion of the Committee that in this case, the
Redding Municipal Airport be included in the annexation request
and that the properties in the annexation be given the same
opportunities for City services as other properties inside the
City have.
It is the recommendation of both the Growth Committee and staff
that annexation proceedings be commenced for the area, and that
the City Attorney be instructed to prepare the necessary resolu-
tions for the next regular Council meeting, re commencing annexa-
tion proceedings and exchanging property tax revenues .
Councilwoman Gard stated that sewage disposal must be provided
for the Airport and whatever facilities are developed for the
Airport would be available to the surrounding properties .
Councilman Kirkpatrick noted that possibly a second regional
sewer system would be considered south of the Airport.
Mayor Pugh stressed the importance of considering this possibility
in the immediate future, or possibly a new trunk line along
Rancho Road that would tie into the existing Regional Sewer Treat-
ment Plant. He stated that a long range master sewer plan needs
to be considered including cost estimates, etc .
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Council-
woman Gard approving the recommendation of the Growth Committee

resolutions. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

the public hearing re Midway Drive Curb and Gutter Improve-
ments Assessment District (Chapter 27) .
The following documents are on file in the office of the _5/
City Clerk:
Notice of Mailing and Posting - Notice of Public Hearing
Memorandum from Superintendent of Streets , 11/25/80
The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been
received.
12/1/80
468
Associate Civil Engineer Hastings reviewed the memorandum from
the Superintendent of Streets dated November 25 , 1980 . He
presented the following finding of fact in connection with
certain public improvements to be installed in the City of
Redding:
Portland cement concrete curb and gutter has been
installed in front of properties constituting more
than 50 percent of the frontage of the blocks in
the following locations :
North side of Midway Drive between Twin View Boulevard
and Shiloh Court.
South side of Midway Drive between Twin View Boulevard
and Ridge Road.
Portland cement concrete curb and gutter on a voluntary
basis is to be installed as part of these proceedings
at the following locations:
South side of Midway Drive between Ridge Road and
Interstate 5.
5424 Midway Drive
5434 Midway Drive
5444 Midway Drive
5486 Midway Drive
5520 Midway Drive
Mr. Hastings advised Council that Chapter 27 of the 1911
Improvement Act is applicable to the unimproved properties
in the above described areas.
Ballard Smith, 5505 Midway Drive, advised Council that he
is opposed to the proposed improvements . He submitted a
list of thirteen residents on Midway Drive, all of whom
are opposed to the improvements. He stated that he wishes
to withdraw his name from the petition he signed in May
of 1980, asking for the initiation of assessment district
proceedings for curb and gutter improvements .
Ruth C. Elder, 5515 Midway Drive, also opposes the assess-
ment district and wishes to withdraw her name from the
petition to form an assessment district.
Mr. Hastings stated that if two or three property owners
on the south side of Midway between Ridge and I-5 want to
withdraw, this would allow that particular block to be
excluded from the assessment district. The other two
blocks on Midway meet the requirement of 50% or more curbs
and gutters completed, and an involuntary assessment dis-
trict could be formed.
Mayor Pugh suggested that the hearing be continued to
allow staff to reassess the situation, in light of the
property owners who wish to withdraw from the proposed
assessment district.
A letter was presented to Council from Mrs . A. M. Orlando
12/1/80
469
opposing the installation of curbs and gutters and stating
that residents of Midway Drive are opposed to their in-
stallation. This letter was read by Mayor Pugh.
Councilwoman Gard felt that staff needs to send an in-
formational letter to property owners in the area, ex-
plaining the Chapter 27 assessment district procedure.
City Attorney Hays suggested that the hearing be continued
to the next regular Council meeting and staff be directed to
provide input regarding the status of the petition to
initiate assessment district proceedings for curb and gutter
improvements .
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Council-
man Fulton that the public hearing re Midway Drive Curb and
Gutter Improvements Assessment District (Chapter 27) , be
continued to 7: 30 P .M. , December 15, 1980, and directing
staff to assess the status of the petition. The Vote :

TRANSPORTATION PERMIT - re Request by John Hoeflich
City Attorney Hays submitted his report to Council regarding
several questions raised by Council at the public hearing held
on November 17, 1980. Mr. Hays discussed the meaning of
"public convenience and necessity" and explained that the
definition contains a great deal of latitude, so that the body
dealing with the subject matter has the ability to arrive at
conclusions which address and meet the particular needs of the
situation. Mr. Hays also discussed the question of buy out in
the instance where the proposed bus system would be functioning
when the RABA system is instituted. He advised that the City
would have some obligation to place into its work force those
who are employed by any existing bus system if, at the time
111 the RABA system becomes operational, the systems run concurrent
operations.
Kr. Hays also discussed access for handicapped persons and
stated that since Mr. Hoeflich' s proposal will not receive 3
Federal funds, he would not be required to provide such access . —20
He stated, however, that this concern can be addressed under
the question of public convenience and necessity.
Councilwoman Gard asked if the permit, if issued, would cover
only those hours and routes as previously submitted by the
applicant. Mr. Hays advised that the permit would be issued
for Sundays only, as requested by the applicant, and any amend-
ment to that schedule would have to be reconsidered by Council
at a later time.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilwoman
Gard that Council finds that the public convenience and necessity
requires that a permit be issued to John Hoeflich to operate
a bus system in the City of Redding on the day, and route, and
at the rate as prescribed by the applicant in his request sub-
mitted to Council on November 17, 1980. The Vote: Unanimous

developer dedicate to the public, the site on the property
commonly called the Olsen Petroglyphs. He explained that
the developer has approached the City to be the jurisdiction
to assume control of the Olsen Petroglyphs site, and the
deeds to the site have been received for acceptance.

take if these deeds are accepted, and submitted an outline

line of liabilities are hereby made a part of these minutes

suggested that a reciprocal agreement be worked out between

principle some time ago, Council talked about the Museum
Board of Directors proposing a procedure for the use of the
site.

that although he has not discussed this matter with the Museum
Board, it is his understanding that the Board will submit a
policy proposal and felt it would be the logical agency to do so.

and advised Council that the Board does have a plan and will
submit it upon Council ' s authorization to accept the site.
