Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his )03 memorandum to Council dated May 28 , 1981, which is hereby made a part of these minutes by reference. He stated that as a result of Council ' s direction to review Cal Tank ' s compliance with the requirements of SPR-3-79 , the City Attorney and 6/1/81 • 208 himself have visited the site and a staff person has monitored the following: 1. Landscaping along Woggon Lane 2 . Screening of Storage 3 . Noise 4 . Truck Movements Mr. Perry advised that in regard to landscaping, the weeds along Woggon Road, as cited by Mrs. Gouldsmith, have been removed since the last Council meeting and the dead trees were replaced today. Mr. Perry reviewed the matter of screening of storage and • explained that there is a grade change in the property and because of this , pallets stacked next to the building may be viewed above the fence even though they may be the same height as the fence. He stated that the fence was constructed in accordance with the requirement and he feels the applicant has complied with the condition. In response to Mrs. Gouldsmith' s claim that the noise limi- tation is being violated, Mr. Perry stated that staff has monitored the site once each day and responded to one telephone call concerning excessive noise. He advised that in each case, staff has not found the condition being violated. Mr. Perry discussed the shear press, which he believes is the major cause of the noise problem. Cal Tank has advised that a new shear press has been installed which is quieter than the old press and they have agreed not to operate the old press before 7 : 00 a.m. Mr. Perry noted that Cal Tank has also covered the roll-up door with insulation which has reduced the • noise from the press considerably. He added that several other steps have been taken in an attempt to reduce the noise of metal dropping. Mr. Perry advised that staff has not witnessed any trucks backing onto Oasis Road. The insulation on the door in the northwest corner of the building will cause trucks to go around • the west side of the building to the back where truck loading is occurring outside on the south side of the building. Mrs. Gard referred to the requirement for screening storage and noted that the condition states that "such areas shall be screened from the view of the adjoining properties or streets , which barrier shall be at least six feet in height. " She stated that if the fence is not screening the view of adjoining property owners, it should be higher than six feet. Mr. Perry agreed that the fence could be raised up to ten feet but felt that six feet should be adequate. He stated that the only alternative is a ten foot, solid fence. Councilman Fulton stated that the applicant has complied with the intent of the permit. Mrs. Gard noted that this is the second time the dead trees have been replaced and felt they are not being properly main- ! tained. • Vice Mayor Demsher felt there has not been good compliance with what the City wants to accomplish. 6/1/81 209 Vice Mayor Demsher advised the audience that this is not a public hearing; however, since Mrs . Gouldsmith had initiated this investigation, he would allow her to speak on the matter. Mrs. Mary Gouldsmith, 4091 Oasis Road, stated that the City Attorney and Planning Director have not gotten together with the neighbors and no meeting has been set, as was directed by Council on May 4 , 1981. Mrs. Gouldsmith agreed that the weeds have been removed and is a great improvement; however, the other violations still exist. She referred to the screening of storage and the requirement that the fence be at least six feet high. Mrs. Gouldsmith stated she has no hope that the new trees will be properly maintained. Vice Mayor Demsher stated that the City' s responsibility of bringing all the people involved together in one meeting, has not been done and suggested that the matter be held over until all the parties have met together. Mrs. Gouldsmith questioned the noise levels as reported by staff and stated that if there has been a reduction of 2 to 3 db (A) with the insulation and new press, then the old press was in violation. It was the opinion of Mrs. Gouldsmith that Mr. Maier be required to comply with the conditions of his Site Plan Review. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Fulton that discussion on this matter be closed and that the matter be held over until staff has complied with the direction of Council to meet with the parties involved. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Mayor Pugh abstaining City Attorney Hays asked that staff receive some clarification from Council on what further action it would like staff to take. He noted that several conversations and meetings have been held with Mrs. Gouldsmith. Vice Chairman Demsher advised that Council has asked staff to observe the conditions at Cal Tank with all the parties in- volved. He felt that a meeting should be held with Mr. Maier, his superintendent, the neighboring property owners and staff to attempt to mediate the situation. Mrs . Gouldsmith continued her comments and Councilman Kirkpatrick interjected that a motion has been made and passed that all further discussion be closed on this matter. The City Attorney concurred. STREET NAME CHANGE - Amy Lane to Alta Saga Drive Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated May 28 , 1981. He stated that in 1978, a new street in the Enterprise area was inadvertently given two street names as the result of two subdividers ' requests. It was named "Alta Saga Drive" north of, and "Amy Lane" south of El Verano Street. Mr. Perry advised that to correct this situation, and since there are many more addresses assigned north of El Verano Street, it is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that the portion of the street south of El Verano Street 6/1/81 210 be renamed from "Amy Lane" to "Alta Saga Drive. " It is further recommended that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare a resolution for consideration at the next regular Council meeting. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Fulton approving the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff as hereinabove stated, and instructing the City Attorney to prepare the necessary resolution. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC HEARING - re Rezoning Application RZ-2-81, by Alan Brayton The hour of 7 : 30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Pugh opened the public hearing re Rezoning Application RZ-2-81 , by Alan Brayton. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk. Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission Recommendation dated 5/28/81 The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received and the Mayor advised that there were no protests from the floor. Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated May 28 , 1981 . He stated that at its regular meeting of April 28 , 1981, the Plan- ning Commission unanimously recommended rezoning approxi- mately 6 . 5 acres located at 1701 Dana Drive from "U" Unclassified District to "R-2" Duplex Residential Dis- trict. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph and a draft negative declaration was submitted to Council. Mr. Perry advised that the property is classified on the General Plan as Residential, 6 . 0 units per gross acre. Surrounding land use consists of single-family units on large lots and a use permit has been approved for con- struction of 15 apartment units across Dana Drive to the northwest. The property is the site of the La Honda Village Subdivi- sion previously approved as a single-family subdivision by the Planning Commission. Mr. Perry advised that all 20 lots meet the minimum site area and street frontage requirements for the "R-2" District. It is the recommendation of both the Planning Commission and staff that the area be rezoned "R-2" as requested, that the negative declaration be ratified and that the attached ordinance be offered for first reading. Mrs. Gard asked why R-2 zoning is appropriate in this area. Mr. Perry answered that it is a product of the Mt. Shasta Mall Plan, taking into consideration the four major arterial streets and increasing density to the east away from the Mall. He stated that it is not a pure single- , 6/1/81 211 family area but is a mixed-use area. Mr. Perry further advised that it is assumed that Victor Avenue will re- develop into a more intense use and that possibly the General Plan will be changed on the east side of Victor.

Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Demsher, Fulton, Kirkpatrick, and Pugh Noes : Council Members - Gard Absent: Council Members - None Mrs. Gard noted that St. Joseph Parish Social Board states in their letter of request that they wish to sell beer and also to play Bingo. Since Bingo is not allowed in City parks and State law prohibits Bingo in locations other than regular approved meeting places, and inasmuch as there was a question as to whether beer would be served or sold, the request was removed until clarification is received. Councilman Kirkpatrick stated he received a call from a Parks Commissioner seeking clarification of the alcohol ban in Alta Mesa Park. He stated it appears that some City parks are becoming more neighborhood parks and the question arose that the City refrain from allowing the sale of beer in some parks. The question also arose regarding the alcohol ban in the new Buckeye Park and Mr. Kirkpatrick said these areas of concern should be watched closely. Mrs. Gard stated that if these requests had been separated into groups selling beer and groups serving beer, she would not have voted "no" on the request. However, she objects to the sale of beer in City parks. Councilman Demsher noted that some organizations sell to their own members while others sell to anyone and he felt that this should be clarified in future requests . PUBLIC WORKS PLANNING REPORT Public Works Director Arness submitted the Public Works Plan- ning Reports for June, 1981. ARE YOU TOO CLOSE SIGNS Public Works Director Arness advised that in February, Kip Lee urged Council to use more of the "Are You Too Close" symbol signs throughout Redding and this matter was referred to staff. 0yn Mr. Arness advised that since the sign is non-standard, we requested approval for experimentation from the California Traffic Control devices Committee, which considered the request at their meeting of April 28 , 1981. The Committee denied the request and a copy of their letter and minutes of the meeting was submitted to Council. In response to an inquiry from Mayor Pugh, the City Attorney advised that the two signs in question are regulated by the 6/1/81 215 State because they are located on State highways and that such signs on our own streets would not be so regulated. Kip Lee, 1797 Kenyon Drive , stated he is sorry the signs must be removed and asked if the signs could be redesigned to 111 conform to State regulations. Mayor Pugh stated that staff would need more input from the State before any further time could be spent on the matter. REPORT ON FAIRWAY AVENUE Public Works Director Arness reviewed his report to Council dated May 27 , 1981, regarding Mrs. Ambrosini ' s complaint about speed and drainage problems on Fairway Avenue. He advised that the street runs north from Hartnell Avenue for 1,280 feet where it connects with an "L" intersection to Minor Street. Mr. Arness explained the structure of the street and advised that the County installed a single 25 mph sign on Fairway Avenue just north of Hartnell. Mr. Arness advised that a traffic count taken in May 1981 showed that the volume is so light that a speed study is '6� considered impractical. No accidents have been reported on 3 Fairway Avenue in the last three years. He stated that speed / 1 studies which have been made on similar low volume streets in residential areas with good sight distance and width of pave- ment have shown an 85th percentile in the range of 35 to 40 mph. Should strict enforcement efforts be desired, staff would have to conduct the study and post the street, probably at 35 or 40 mph. Mr. Arness stated that this problem exists in many areas of town, and only major collectors and arterials have been studied and speed zoned. It is the suggestion of staff that the signing remain as is. In regard to Mrs. Ambrosini ' s complaint about drainage , Mr. Arness advised that the drainage ditch behind her house was cleaned in 1978. A staff member recently inspected the ditch and found it cluttered with grass clippings and leaves , as well as an old mattress. Staff discussed this with Mrs. Ambrosini and indicated that the ditch will be cleaned this fall to improve flow conditions and remove weed growth. In addition, the Shasta Mosquito Abatement District was requested to watch this drainage ditch for mosquito breeding. Mr. Arness advised that there are no Community Development funds available at this time for use on an improvement project for this ditch. An assessment district could be formed to enclose the ditch if the adjacent property owners chose to fund the improvements. This was an information item and no action was required by Council. CONTRACT - Master Water Plan Update Mayor Pugh abstained from voting and discussion on this matter. Public Works Director Arness submitted a contract with PACE 3374 Engineering to prepare the five (5) year update to our Master Water Plan. It is the recommendation of staff that Council approve a contract with PACE Engineering for completing Phase I of the Master Water Plan update at a cost not to exceed $25 , 000 . 6/1/81 216 MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilwoman Gard approving a contract with PACE Engineering as hereinabove described. The Vote : Unanimous Ayes with Mayor Pugh abstain- ing REPORT ON WYNDHAM LANE AND VALENTINE LANE Public Works Director Arness reviewed his memorandum to Council dated May 27 , 1981. He stated that at its meeting of April 20 , CC 1981, Council requested staff to investigate traffic congestion on Wyndham Lane and to take another look at the Valentine Lane barricade. Mr. Arness advised that the traffic congestion on Wyndham Lane is partly due to the Canned Food Warehouse located at Wyndham Lane and South Market. He noted that they have taken steps to solve their problems and it appears they are successful . Other streets adding to this situation are Eastside Road and Polk Street. He stated that funds have been allocated to complete Eastside Road south of Wyndham Lane and funds have been re- quested to pave Polk Street between Geary and Ellis. The surfacing of Polk Street should improve the safety of traffic circulation in the area, particularly for parents taking their children to Juniper School . The issue of the barricade on Valentine Lane was again raised and Mr. Arness reviewed the reasons for the barricade and the conditions under which it would be removed--the completion of Dove Street. Mr. Arness described the three options for the formation of an assessment district for the completion of Dove Street. Said option boundaries are indicated on the map submitted to Council which is hereby made a part of these minutes by reference. He recommended Option No. 1, a district serving only the subdi- vided lands lying south of the terminus of Dove Street. Mr. Arness stated that some staff members recommended the opening of Valentine Lane , however he believes that the pro- perty owners south of the closure have the obligation to solve their access problem. Mr. Arness said that the minimum asses- sment district cost for the Dove Street extension is estimated at $225 per lot. It is the recommendation of the Public Works Director Dove Street be extended and that an attempt be made to form an assessment district for the properties which have been sub- divided as described in option No. 1. Mrs. Gard noted that a 60o sign-up would be needed to form an assessment district and asked about the possibility of a pay-back agreement or enabling ordinance for the developer to share in the cost. • City Attorney Hays advised that there is a benefit, but noted that what is being discussed is a substandard street, without curb, gutter, sidewalk, water, sewer, or electric improvements. Mayor Pugh noted that when development occurs in the area adjacent to the Dove Street extension, the developer would probably tear out the street and construct a new street. Mrs. Gard noted that if the City acquires the property, there should be some provision to pay the City back. 6/1/81 217 City Attorney Hays noted that another possibility would be a benefit district but there is the problem of who you can collect from. Mr. Demsher noted that the area near Wyndham Lane has tripled in size since Wyndham Lane was widened. He added that he had expected Dove Street to be connected within one year of the placement of the barricade. Councilwoman Gard stated she feels strongly that it is a health and safety matter and that if Dove Street is not extended by assessment district it must be done some other way. Members of the audience wished to speak regarding the Valentine Lane barricade. Mayor Pugh explained that the report this evening deals with the status of Dove Street and not Valentine Lane. He stated that the Valentine Lane problem should go back to the Planning Commission for recommendation to the City Council. He added that the issue this evening is pursuing the possibility of a Dove Street assessment district. Mr. Arness stated that the petitions for an assessment district should be circulated by a property owner in the area. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick directing staff to seek the formation of an assess- ment district for the extension of Dove Street, per the recom- mendation of the Public Works Director, for report back to Council by July 20 , 1981. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes At this time, Mayor Pugh invited comments from residents south of the extention of Dove Street. Walter Girving, 3745 Riverview Drive, feels it is an extreme emergency to complete Dove Street, for two reasons : 1) increased traffic due to the Canned Food Warehouse, and 2) Eastside Road traffic continues to increase. He does not believe the proposed improvements to Polk Street will offer any solution. Due to this dangerous situation, he feels the barricade should be removed. Councilman Demsher asked Mr. Girving if he would be willing to circulate a petition for the formation of assessment district for the extension of Dove Street. Mr. Girving said that he would, however they already have a paved road out of the area so he would not agree to paying additional taxes for this purpose. He stated he would have to discuss the matter with the other people involved. Mr. Kirkpatrick stated it is his understanding that if Dove Street is opened, the Valentine Lane barricade comes down. Mayor Pugh now invited comments from property owners north of the extention of Dove Street. Ann Huber, 497 Weldon Street, noted her letter to Council dated June 1, 1981, and feels this is a matter of a person' s home and the quality of life. She takes no issue with those who wish to have several ways in and out of a subdivision. She noted that there is a blind corner at Polk and Wyndham. She urged some 6/1/81 218 type of assessment district. Mrs. Huber stated that if each subdivision along the river had its ingress and egress, there would be no problem with safety. Mayor Pugh stated that the City Council has been very clear that projected road improvements for the area include the extension of Dove Street to the north and that when these improvements are completed, the Valentine Lane barricade will come down.
