re Schedule Change for Redding Transit

advised that it would be appropriate for the RABA to review
the request, however, since it is within RABA' s area of
concern.

Demsher that a public hearing be set for 7 : 30 P.M. ,

REPORT RE VIACOM CABLE TELEVISION - Rate Setting Formula
City Attorney Hays reviewed the report of the CATV Committee
dated July 2 , 1981. He stated that the Committee has evaluated
Viacom' s request and studied A.B. 699 . Mr. Hays said that some
consideration was given to the possibility of deregulating go-il
cablevision rates; however, this possibility was discarded,
since it seems unlikely that a competing cable television system
would come into the community.
It is the recommendation of the Committee that the rate of
return method for establishing cable television rates is appro-
priate for the City of Redding. This recommendation is based on
the belief that if Viacom wishes to request a rate increase, it
should submit appropriate documentation, which will be reviewed
and acted upon in a prompt time frame.
7/6/81
254
Councilman Kirkpatrick stated that the Committee has had several
meetings on this matter and discussed the subject at length. He
noted that Viacom' s penetration of the market within the City of
Redding is in excess of 70 percent. He stated that until the
City receives proper documentation from Viacom, the Committee
cannot recommend a rate increase.
Mrs. Gard stated they have a virtual monopoly and felt the same
rate-setting method should be used for cable television com-
panies as is used for public utilities.
Councilman Demsher commented that since competition was un-
likely, he would not be in favor of deregulation.
Councilman Fulton stated he is in accordance with the Commit-
tee ' s findings.
Mayor Pugh favored the rate of return basis for setting rates.
He noted that a procedure should be followed when Viacom wishes
a rate increase, and upon receipt of the proper documentation,
the City should review the request in a timely manner.
Mr. Jerry Brown, Area Manager for Viacom, indicated that he
asked for the City' s guidance several months ago and concurred
that a procedure should be established whereby a rate applica-
tion could be reviewed and acted upon on a timely basis .
Mr. Brown advised that a financial statement has been mailed
from Viacom' s main office; however, since it did not arrive he
requested that Council reconsider the matter on July 20, 1981 .
Councilman Kirkpatrick detailed the Code requirements concerning
Cable Television.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Council
Member Gard that the method of rates be left as they are and
instructing the City Attorney to pursue the collection of all
income the City should be receiving for franchise payments ,
including Showtime revenue . The Vote : Unanimous Ayes
In response to an inquiry from Mayor Pugh, City Attorney Hays
advised that a rate increase application should go directly to
staff with proper documentation. Mayor Pugh and City Attorney
Hays agreed to meet with Mr. Brown to discuss the matter
further.
AWARD OF BID
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Council Member
Gard that all bids for Bid Schedule No. 1308, pole type and pad
type distribution transformers, be rejected due to an ambiguity
in the bid package (item No. 3) , and that the bid-package be
0243 clarified and re-bid.

Condition No. 33 requires Council authorization of the use of
the City' s power of eminent domain to provide a safer access
point to the subdivision. With respect to this issue, the lO
Commission found that a public need and necessity exists with
regard to providing a better access point. For Council to
consider this recommendation, it is suggested that a public
hearing be set for 7 : 30 P.M. , July 20, 1981.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Council Member

Planning and Community Development Director Perry advised that
the Planning Commission unanimously recommended denial of the
request to abandon a portion of Eugenia Street lying between
Railroad Avenue and the east end of the new cul-de-sac. A map
of the area was shown on the Vu Graph.
Mr. Perry stated that the Commission' s decision was based in
part on the rescinding of the application request by one of the
abutting property owners who would have lost access to an J/�
existing loading dock. Based on these factors, it is the
recommendation of staff that a public hearing not be set and
further proceedings be terminated.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Council
Member Gard approving the recommendation of the Planning Commis-
sion and staff that all further proceedings re Abandonment
Application, A-3-81, be terminated. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

REPORT RE ALTA MESA BALLPARK

Council dated June 29 , 1981. He stated that the Parks and
Recreation Commission met and discussed the Alta Mesa Ballpark
problems as requested by Council. Mr. Riley said that repre-
sentatives from the neighborhood and members of the Men' s
Slow Pitch Softball Board of Directors were present at this
• meeting and each entity gave their views on the rather delicate
subject.

7/6/81
257
Mr. Riley stated that the softball park has created some pro-
blems for the Parks and Recreation Department and hopefully this
amicable approach by the players and neighborhood residents will
result in a situation whereby both groups can enjoy the same
area during the same time period.
Mayor Pugh commended Mr. Riley and staff, the Commission, people
from the neighborhood, and representatives from the Softball
League, for the high level of negotiations which took place .
He stated they have all worked together for a compromise on a
solution which everyone can live with.
Mrs. Gard inquired about the long-term solution to the increas-
ing need for ballparks. She felt this is a totally inappro-
priate location for such a facility.
Mr. Riley advised that staff is working on the Parks and Recrea-
tion Element of the General Plan and some alternative sites will
be suggested.
Mrs. Gard noted that this is a priority item.
Councilman Fulton questioned the need for the alcohol ban in
Alta Mesa Park. He stated this is an entirely different situa-
tion than Lake Redding and Caldwell Parks .
Mr. Riley explained that staff agrees that the use of alcoholic
beverages in Alta Mesa Park has contributed to some of the
problems and felt it would behoove the City to include the park
in the ordinance banning the use of alcohol.
111
Councilman Demsher noted that the neighborhood has made it clear
that drinking has contributed to their concerns at Alta Mesa.
He felt that the permits for the use of alcohol have helped to
control the problems in other parks and that it would be appro •
-
priate to include Alta Mesa Park.
Councilman Kirkpatrick agreed that Alta Mesa Park is a different
situation than Lake Redding and Caldwell Parks, and he does not
blame the ball players for the problems; however, drinking does
add to the noise problem in the park.
Council Member Gard also concurred that this is a small park in
the center of a residential neighborhood and the use of alcohol
is magnified in this situation.
Mr. Riley stated that the Board of Directors of the Men' s Slow
Pitch Softball League is anxious to control the situation.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Councilman
Demsher approving the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation
Commission as hereinabove stated.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Demsher, Gard, and Kirkpatrick
Noes : Council Members - Fulton and Pugh

Senior Associate Planner Keaney referred to and briefly summar-
ized the Final EIR on the Redevelopment Plan. He noted that the
Draft EIR is a part of the Report of the Agency to the City
Council on the Redevelopment Plan and that Final Environmental
Impact Report consists of the Draft EIR as circulated and
responses to comments from the public on the draft.
Mr. Henson submitted the following documents as exhibits:
Final Environmental Impact Report on the Canby-Hilltop-
Cypress Redevelopment Project, EIR-3-81 (Exhibit 8) .
Report from the Planning and Community Development Director
to the City Council and the Redevelopment Agency, dated

June Street to Hartnell. A letter was also received from Delmar
Stephens, asking for further information on the Redevelopment
Project. Mr. Henson advised that a third letter was received
from James and Judith Ceragioli , 1861 Shasta Pines Way, dis-
agreeing with the methods of financing the Redevelopment
Project, problems with the EIR and other aspects of the Rede11
-
, velopment plan.
Mr. Henson submitted these letters and they were received as
Exhibit 12 .
7/6/81
261
Mayor Pugh advised that oral testimony in favor of the Rede-
velopment Plan or Final EIR will now be heard.
There were no comments in favor of the Plan or Final EIR.
Mayor Pugh advised that oral testimony in opposition to the
Redevelopment Plan or Final EIR will now be heard.
James Ceragioli, 1861 Shasta Pines Way, advised that he has been
sworn. He questioned the overcrossing north of Highway 44 and
the noise impact this would have on the Mt. Shasta Subdivision.
He said the EIR does not address this problem.
Mr. Perry advised that the Final EIR does show a noise impact
but added that there is no proposal to mitigate the impact.
Mr. Ceragioli objected to the June Street extension and the
major impacts on Parsons and Rother schools with the widening of
Hartnell to four lanes . He objects to the citizens of the City
having to pay for improvements to private property in the form
of Housing Rehabilitation loans and grants . He suggested that
if the area is blighted, possibly the abatement procedure should
be used.
Mr. Ceragioli is in agreement that the enlargement of water and
sewer lines are needed but feels that development fees could
handle much of these costs. He also noted that no mention is
made of any projects to relieve the problem of having only one
east/west arterial in the area.
Mr. Alan Swanson, 1648 Riverside Drive, stated he has been
sworn. He stated he represents Mr. & Mrs. Carl Mc Connell.
Mr. Swanson advised that his clients have no plans to sell or
develop their property in the immediate future and do not wish
to be included in the project area. He feels the boundary
should be Canby Road instead of the Mc Connell property.
Mr. Perry explained that amendment of the boundary would mean
that the Plan would have to go back to the Planning Commission
and the Redevelopment Agency for reconsideration which would
delay establishment of the base year for purposes of sequester-
ing the tax increment from fiscal year 81/82 to fiscal year
82/83 , which would amount to a one year delay.
In response to an inquiry from Mr. Beatty, Mr. Stewart advised
that the reason for including this property in the Project area
is that there is a major drainage problem on the corner of the
property and it is extremely important that this property be
included.
Mr. Steve Swendiman, representing the Shasta County Board of
Supervisors and the Fiscal Review Committee said he had been
sworn. He requested delaying a decision on the project until
the City staff was authorized by Council to negotiate sharing of
revenues with the Fiscal Review Committee and to discuss other
financing techniques. The Board is not opposed to the Project
but only the method of financing. He stated they are not
concerned with the loss of a tax increment for one year but for
20 years. He said it could mean the demise of some of the
taxing agencies such as the Mosquito Abatement District.
Mr. John Clark, 950 Redbud Drive, stated he has been sworn.
Mr. Clark indicated two areas of concern: 1) financing for
7/6/81
262
schools, and 2) whether the Redevelopment Agency is the proper
vehicle for this type of project. He said at present the State
will match any funds lost by schools , but it is not sure that
they will be in a position to continue this practice.
•
Mr. Clark questioned the need for an expenditure of $11, 000 ,000
for low and moderate income housing in the Redding area and
expressed concern regarding the impact this would have on the
quality of the school district and on classroom capacity. He
also noted that during the construction period, there will be an
increase in jobs bringing additional families to the area and
children to the schools. Schools will then have an increase in
enrollment with no increase in funds. Mr. Clark feels that all
people and agencies who benefit from this Project should share
in the financing.
Mr. Marion Hardy, 1940 Shady Lane, representing Enterprise
Elementary School, stated he has been sworn. Mr. Hardy said the
school district has not taken a stand for or against the Plan.
He is glad the Plan includes pedestrian and bicycle paths, but
is concerned about the widening of Hartnell and extension of
Hartnell to Cypress. Mr. Hardy said this would have the effect
of placing a major thoroughfare between two schools , Parsons and
Rother, and thus creating a hazard for students crossing in this
area. He opposed the extension of June Street and suggested a
pedestrian overpass on Hartnell.
Leonard Bandell, representing SAVI Co. , stated he has been
sworn. Mr. Bandell' s client generally supports the Project but
questioned the type of funding mix which will be brought for-
ward.
In response to Mr. Hardy' s comments, Mr. Perry advised that the
June Street extension is a remedial measure to be used only if
other improvements don' t work in the area, that the design of
June Street was only schematic and that there were other options
for its location. Mr. Perry stated that the Redevelopment
Project will conform to the General Plan and by-and-large will
be handled on a pay-as-you-go basis as public works projects .
Mr. Perry stated it is hoped that Mistletoe will not become an
east/west arterial. It was noted by Mr. Perry that in order to
receive this year' s increment, the Project must be acted upon
within a one week period.
The Mayor ascertained that there were no further comments from
the floor.
In response to an inquiry by Mrs. Gard, Mr. John Clark advised
that he cannot state that his views represent those of the
School Board; however, they are aware of his efforts and are in
concurrence with everything he has done thus far.

Resolution No. 81-143 is on file in the office of the City
Clerk.
In regard to the motion overruling written and oral objections
to the Redevelopment Plan, Mayor Pugh stated that most of the
concerns have been addressed during the long history of the
Project and that new problems can be addressed as they occur in
the future.
Councilman Demsher felt that there is enough flexibility in the 11
Plan to meet the needs of the school districts .
Councilman Fulton stated he has mixed feelings about penalizing
other public entities within the project such as the Mosquito
Abatement District. He stated they will be on a fixed income
for twenty years and felt there should be other ways of raising
money without penalizing public agencies .
7/6/81
265
Council Member Gard commented that the Mosquito Abatement
District receives about 6% of its revenue from the Project area
and with the drainage improvements proposed, their expenditures
should be lessened. She noted that the City' s share of revenue
from the Project area is approximately 9%, while the percentage
111 of services requirements is much greater.
Councilman Fulton emphasized that the City' s income will go up
each year, while other agencies ' income will remain the same.
Mayor Pugh pointed out that the Plan has built-in flexibility.
He felt the Plan is the only way of progressing to the benefit
of everyone in the community. He added that financial plans can
be worked out in the future to help stabilize the various taxing
entities.
Councilman Kirkpatrick stated that the Mosquito Abatement
District realizes that some of its projects will be improved
with the Project. Mr. Kirkpatrick also pointed out the flex-
ibility in the Plan which will allow the City to re-evaluate the
financial situations of the various entities , at some future
time .

PUBLIC HEARING - re Hartnell Avenue Assessment District No.
1980-3
The hour of 7 : 30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Pugh opened the
public hearing re Hartnell Avenue Assessment District
The following documents are on file in the office of the
City Clerk :
�$ I Certificate of Posting - Notice of Improvement
,1 1f Certificate of Mailing - Notice of Improvement
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
The City Clerk advised that written protests have been
received from Eugene and Donna Rother and from William and
Eugene Rother.
Special Bond Counsel Sperry advised that this hearing is
being held to hear protests, if any, on the subject
assessment district.
Mr. Sperry introduced Paul Jones of Pace Engineering, the
Engineer of Work for the project.
Mr. Sperry advised that the Engineer' s Report has been
amended to reflect a reduction in assessments of approxi-
mately $180 , 000 . He noted that Parcels 4 , 5 , and 6 will
have a zero assessment and Parcels 1 , 2, and 7 will have
reduced assessments .
Mr. William Harter, 3011 Lowden Lane, stated he has lived
in this location for 15 years and plans to live out his
life there . His land is in the area needed to extend
Hartnell Avenue. He stated he has been told that there
will be a long term benefit to the value of his property
but he has no plans to sell or develop the property.
Mr. Harter objected to the increased noise and air
pollution and being forced into an assessment district
where there is no benefit to him. He stated he would
consider litigation to protect his rights .
Phyllis Phipps , daughter of Mr. & Mrs . Harter, stated there
may be a long term advantage but their heirs will end up
paying for the assessment district. She said her parents
have lived and worked in this community for 40 years. She
said the property has many trees and wildlife and she would
be opposed to having any portion of it dedicated to the
City for the purpose of widening Hartnell Avenue.
Johanna Lyford, 410 Manzanita, stated she came to listen
and be informed. She stated that the Churn Creek Road and
Hartnell intersection is a death trap. She said that
widening Hartnell would be like opening up a freeway in
front of two schools. She said the City is asking to take
people' s property and assess them too. She agreed that the
improvements are needed but felt the cost is too great.
Mr. Gene Rother, P. 0. Box 3008 , stated he owns property
directly south of the Harter property. He is opposed to
the assessment. He felt the assessment district procedure
should not be used for public highways and freeways . He
feels the benefit to him is only incidental to the benefit
of the general public. He felt this is an unfair tax on
his property and asked to be removed from the assessment
district.
7/6/81
267
Mr. Leonard Wingate, attorney representing Mr. Stokes,
advised that a Cooperation Agreement has been executed
between the City of Redding and Mr. Stokes whereby
Mr. Stokes will pay the difference between the assessed
value of the property being dedicated and the amount of the
assessment for both the Harter and Rother properties . In
effect, he said, Mr. Stokes and Mr. Loring would be the
only property owners contributing to the assessment
district.
Mr. Wingate said that most of the costs of the closure of
Henderson Road should be the responsibility of the City of
Redding. He stated they are not opposing the assessment
district proceedings , however, he asked that the City staff
be authorized to talk with Mr. Stokes regarding the City
increasing its participation in the cost of closing
Henderson
Road.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by
Councilman Fulton that the public hearing be closed. The
Vote : Unanimous Ayes
Mr. Sperry advised Council that Mr. Harter and Mr. Rother
are assured of receiving cash in the amount not less than
the assessment that this recommendation would impose on the
properties. He noted that this could mean a reduction of
their assessment to zero.
Mr. Sperry said that Marshall Mayer, who represented
Mr. Harter and Mr. Rother at the Shasta County Board of
Supervisors meeting, stated that it is acknowledged that
there is a general benefit and court decisions on benefits
have been in favor of the property owner. Mr. Sperry noted
that the City is paying for oversizing the water and sewer
lines and while there is acknowledged general benefit to
those facilities , there is also a special and local bene-
fit.
Paul Jones noted that the Harter property is only being
assesed for sewer, curb and gutter and incidentals and is
not being assessed for water and cut and fill. In the case
of the Rother property, the drainage going through his
property is the reason for the larger assessment and that a
large portion of his assessment is for storm drainage .
Mrs. Gard asked how the Harter and Rother properties were
included in the assessment district. Public Works Director
Arness advised that a meeting was held and it was
determined that properties which received the benefit from
the development of the roadway access, should be assessed.
Mrs. Gard commented that the assumption was made that the
properties would redevelop and take advantage of a major
arterial and utilities.
In response to an inquiry from Mrs . Gard regarding time
lines, Mr. Sperry advised that construction bids were
opened June 30 , and the City is allowed 60 days to award
the bid. He added that the bids were very favorable.
Mr. Sperry advised it would be essential to act no later
than the next meeting and then it would be necessary to ask
for a few days ' extension.
7/6/81
268
Mrs. Gard asked that she be given a copy of the Board of
Supervisors minutes and a chance to look at the land again.
Mr. Wingate presented Council with a copy of the Mr.
Stokes' letter agreeing to pay for the Harter and Rother
assessments.
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman
Demsher that Council delay its decision on the public
hearing re Hartnell Avenue Assessment District, to July 20 ,
1981.
Mr. Jones stated further delay would be a very severe
handicap to the project and could result in increased
costs.
Mr. Harter pointed out that the letter of agreement from
Mr. Stokes may reduce or eliminate the assessment but
Mr. Harter will still have to give up 2/3 of an acre .
Gary Stokes was allowed to speak at this time, and advised
it has been his belief that the only major short term
benefits would be to himself and Mr. Loring, and he did not
feel Mr. Harter and Mr. Rother should lose any money as a
result of this project. He said it was not his idea to
extend Hartnell to connect with Bechelli Lane and the City
is to pick up the cost of the road between his property and
Bechelli Lane.
Mrs. Gard stated the inclusion of the Harter and Rother
properties was on the premise of benefit.
Mayor Pugh explained that if the properties are included in
the district, they would dedicate land and have no
additional charge or lien on their property. If they are
excluded, the City would have to condemn the property and
pay them for the land or that portion of the project could
be cancelled.
Councilman Demsher felt there is no doubt it is a needed
project.
Councilman Kirkpatrick asked if the Council Members who
have doubts could get the needed information to make a
decision, in two or three days in order that Council could
hold a special meeting on this matter. They felt they
could.
Voting on the above motion to continue the proceedings for
the Hartnell Avenue Assessment District was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Demsher and Gard
Noes : Council Members - Fulton, Kirkpatrick, and Pugh
Absent: Council Members - None
This motion was defeated.
Resolution - Overruling Protests
MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman
Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that
Resolution No. 81-145 be adopted, a resolution of the City
7/6/81
269
Council of the City of Redding overruling protests in
Hartnell Avenue Assessment District No. 1980-3.
Voting was as follows :
Ayes: Council Members - Fulton and Kirkpatrick
Noes: Council Members - Demsher, Gard, and Pugh
Absent: Council Members - None
Resolution No. 81-145 was defeated.
Mr. Sperry addressed some of the issues raised. He advised
that the City does have jurisdiction to continue the
proceedings even though the resolution overruling protests
was not adopted this evening. He noted that the protests
are not considered to be a majority. He suggested one
alternative would be to reduce the Harter and Rother
assessments to zero, with the City picking up the addi-
tional cost. Another alternative would be to reduce their
assessment to zero and proceed with the balance of the
project and direct staff to come back with a change order.
A third alternative would be to leave the assessment
district as is and come back on July 20 with an amendment
of the assessment district. He suggested a review of the
benefits to the Harter and Rother parcels .
The continuation of the matter was discussed further and it
was determined that a two or three day delay would not
cause any significant problems and would be adequate time
to review some of the alternatives discussed by Mr. Sperry.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by
Councilman Demsher that Council continue action on the
Hartnell Avenue Assessment District No. 1980-3 , to an
Adjourned Regular Meeting at 4 : 00 P.M. , July 9 , 1981, in
the City Council Chambers .
Voting was as follows :
Ayes: Council Members - Demsher, Gard, Kirkpatrick, and
Pugh
Noes: Council Members - Fulton
Absent: Council Members - None
Councilman Demsher asked Mr. Rother if he would be willing
to make contact with Mrs. Gard and himself the following
day to view the property. Mr. Rother agreed.
PUBLIC HEARING - re Proposed Churn Creek Road Plan Line
The hour of 7 : 30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Pugh opened the
public hearing re the proposed Churn Creek Road Plan Line.
The following documents are on file in the office of the
City Clerk:
110r3
Affidavit of Posting - Notice of Public Hearing
Planning Commission Recommendation dated July 2, 1981
1111 The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been
received.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed
his memorandum to Council dated July 2 , 1981. He stated
that the Planning Commission unanimously recommended
adoption of a plan line for the development of Churn Creek
7/6/81
270
Road generally between Industrial Street and the extension
of Browning Avenue. The Plan Line Report and maps of the
proposed plan line were submitted to Council. Mr. Perry
reported that previously, the Commission certified that
EIR-3-79 adequately addressed the impacts of the project.
Mr. Perry advised that the Planning Commission recommended
that Churn Creek Road would extend north of Dana Drive,
parallel to Canby Road. Two property owners on the east
side of Canby Road and north of the Mt. Shasta Mall have
said they will provide the necessary right of way.
Mr. Perry said it is recognized that the plan line as
recommended will not please all interested parties; how-
ever, an attempt has been made to minimize its impact and
to provide a viable cost-effective alignment that ade-
quately moves future traffic at an acceptable level of
service. Once the plan line is established, a multiyear
project will likely be implemented that includes design,
property acquisition, assessment-district financing,
redevelopment district financing, and construction.
Mr. Perry summarized the basic concerns as follows:
1. Impact on residential properties .
2 . Location of the right of way south of
Mistletoe Lane.
3 . Location of the right of way north of the
Mt. Shasta Mall.
It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and
staff that Alternate C be approved as modified by the
Commission, whereby Churn Creek Road would extend north of
Dana Drive, parallel to Canby Road. It is further recom-
mended that, a statement of Overriding Considerations be
adopted in regard to EIR-7-79 , and that the Public Works
Department be authorized to prepare the necessary record of
survey, for recording by the City Clerk.
Mr. Leonard Bandell, stated he was representing the SAVIC
Company and Richard Downs. He said they are not objecting
to the project but have questions on the plan line. He
asked when the City would acquire the property that is
needed.
Mr. Perry advised that it would be acquired as the need
dictates and there is no specific date at this time .
MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman
Kirkpatrick that the public hearing be closed. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman
Demsher that in accordance with Section 15088 of the State
EIR Guidelines, changes or alterations have been required
in or incorporated into the project which mitigate or avoid
the significant effects identified in EIR-7-79 . The Vote :
Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman
Kirkpatrick approving the recommendation of the Planning
Commission and staff that Alternative C be approved, as
contained in the Plan Line Report which is hereby made a
7/6/81
271
part of these minutes by reference and that the Public
Works Department be authorized to prepare the necessary
record of survey, for recording by the City Clerk . The
Vote: Unanimous Ayes
PUBLIC HEARING - re Appeal of Sandpointe Condominiums Tentative
Map, S-10-81
The hour of 7 : 30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Pugh opened the
public hearing re appeal of Sandpointe Condominiums Tenta-
tive Subdivision Map. S-10-81.
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
The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been
received. �r
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed ISD
his memorandum to Council dated July 1, 1981. He stated
that the Planning Commission unanimously approved the
Sandpointe Condominiums tentative map subject to 43 con-
ditions. The applicant has since filed an appeal con-
cerning two of the conditions of approval. Council was
given copies of the conditions, the letter of appeal , and
maps of the area were shown on the Vu Graph. The applicant
submitted an estimated cost analysis.
Mr. Perry reviewed the project which consists of 240
airspace-condominium units on approximately 73 acres
located north of Hilltop Drive and west of Interstate 5 , in
the "U" Unclassified District. He said access to the
development would be via two private roads running north
from Hilltop Drive.
The applicant has appealed Condition Nos . 19 and 31 ,
dealing with fencing and street improvements . Mr. Perry
advised that, with respect to Condition No. 19 , the appli-
cant previously represented that fenced private patio areas
on dwelling units near the property lines would provide the
same privacy and visual screen as solid perimeter fencing.
Their initial proposal was to fence all private patio areas
and to leave the area between the patio and property line
open. As approved by the Commission, the applicant has the
option of putting a fence around the patios or along the
property line; however, if he opts for a fence around the
patios, it must be the same quality as the fence would be
on the property line, block post and wood board or equiv-
alent.
It is the opinion of staff that the fencing requirement is
consistent with other similar approved developments and
that the estimated costs are not excessive. The concern of
staff is that if the fences are erected along the back of
the patios , the area between the patio fence and the
property line would become dead space and not be main-
tained.
Mr. Perry explained that the intent of Condition No. 31,
which requires a concrete edge along all roads , is to
7/6/81
272
insure proper drainage of surface water on internal roads
and to protect the edge of the pavement. The applicant
proposed to use redwood headerboard and asphalt berms
throughout the project. Staff feels the use of several
standards should be permitted since numerous factors may
influence which techniques will work best. Mr. Perry
suggested that Condition No. 31 be modified to read as
follows:
"The Public Works Department is to approve the structural
section of all internal private roads . Said roads shall be
bordered as follows:
a. All occupant and guest-parking areas shall have a
concrete edge or concrete berm.
b. Through-driveway areas shall have redwood headerboard
or a concrete edge.
c. The two main private roads shall have a concrete edge
adjacent to landscaped areas ; said roads may be
without edging in natural open-space areas provided
they are a minimum 26-feet wide with adequate
shoulders.
d. Curb and gutter may be required for drainage purposes
at the discretion of the Public Works Department. "
It is the recommendation of staff that the appeal be denied
but that Condition No. 31 be modified to read as outlined
above.
Mr. Jerry Bolster, representing Mr. Drake, developer of the
property, stated the basis of the appeal is that these
conditions will add to the cost of the units and feels
there are other viable alternatives. He said the area
where the dual fence would be includes only 12 units and
would benefit from moving the fence to the back property
line.
Mr. Paul Jones , engineer for the project, feels that AC
berms have an application and can be very workable on this
project.
Public Works Director Arness stated that edge protection is
necessary where cars may be driving over them.
Council Member Gard noted that asphalt does not hold up
over time and was in favor of the requirement for concrete
berms .
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman
Fulton that the public hearing be closed. The Vote :
Unanimous Ayes
Councilman Demsher felt the recommendation of staff in
regard to Condition No. 31, was a reasonable compromise.
Council Member Gard concurred with leaving the condition
regarding fencing as it is, allowing the option of putting
a fence around the patios or along the property line. In
regard to the street improvements, she favors the long term
benefits of concrete.
7/6/81
273
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Council
Member Gard that the appeal of Tentative Subdivision Map
S-10-81, Sandpointe Condominiums, be denied, and that
Condition No. 31 be revised as hereinabove stated and
approved. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

City Clerk :
Affidavit of Posting - Notice of Continued Public
Hearing
The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been
received and the Mayor ascertained that there were no 'Od
I protests from the floor. G
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed
his memorandum to Council dated July 2 , 1981. He stated
that the Planning Commission, at the instruction of
Council, reconsidered this application; however, no action
was taken as the applicant' s engineer orally requested that
the item be continued at both the Commission and Council
level for two weeks. Mr. Perry advised that the Planning
Commission met on June 23, 1981 and recommended approval of
the amended map subject to the changes in the following
conditions:
10 . Barricades are to be installed at the north end of
Road "B" and the east ends of Roads "A" and "C" in
accordance with the specifications of the Department
of Public Works.
21. Until such time as Road "A" , Road "B" or "C" are
physically connected to Lema Road, the existing
60-foot wide easement may be used as temporary access.
The deeds of all lot owners are to reflect that at
such time as improved access to Lema or Edgewood is
obtained, they will forfeit all access rights to the
60-foot wide easement to Old Alturas Road. The
easement shall be improved to provide two 12-foot wide
driving lanes with paved edges for pedestrians and
bicyclist as specified by the Department of Public
Works.
22 . Roads "A" and "C" are to be improved with two driving
lanes, a parking lane and curb, gutter and sidewalk
within the subdivision.

DOVE STREET EXTENSION
Public Works Director Arness reviewed his memorandum to Council
dated June 22 , 1981. He stated that little interest has been
shown in an assessment district to complete Dove Street.
Mr. Arness said that during a meeting with property owners ,
those persons in attendance basically said there was little need
for Dove Street when a road already existed (Valentine Lane) .
Mr. Arness outlined three alternatives as follows:
1. Leave everything as is.
2. Develop a benefit district for the completion of Dove
Street.
3. Open Valentine Lane.
02J-6o
He recommended Alternative No. 1 and added that property owners
adjacent to Polk Street will be contacted regarding an assess-
ment district of street improvements.
Council Member Gard stated that this still leaves a large
subdivision with only one means of ingress and egress.
Mayor Pugh remarked that the barricade could come down in the
event of an emergency.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman
Demsher approving the recommendation of the Public Works
Director to leave the Dove Street situation as it is.

PUBLIC WORKS ' PLANNING REPORT - July
Public Works Director Arness presented the Public Works '
3 I° Planning Reports for July, 1981.
CANYON CREEK BRIDGE REPLACEMENT
Mr. Arness advised that on June 3 , 1981, Canyon Creek Bridge No.
2 sustained major structural damage due to an apparent over-
loaded truck. The bridge is currently impassible and will
require major rebuilding of both spans of the timber structure.
I
/3y He added that the temporary bypass constructed to serve resi-
t dents on the west end of Canyon Creek Road will not be usable
during the winter months , and no other access is available.
Mr. Arness advised that under our existing Federal Bridge
Replacement Program, this bridge is scheduled for funding in
1983. It appears that the earliest we could be considered for
funding is in 1982 , and Mr. Arness advised it appears the City
will have to make crossing repairs of the wooden structure or
replace the timber span with some other type of crossing.

Mr. Arness said that the bridge will probably be abandoned when
Canyon Creek Road is realigned in the future and, therefore
staff will review the least expensive crossing of the creek
along with alternatives for replacing the existing bridge. It
is staff' s intention to proceed with a design for the replace-
ment of the creek crossing.
This was an information item and no action was taken by Council .

ORDINANCE - re Regulating Drug Paraphernalia
City Attorney Hays submitted an ordinance to prohibit the sale
of those items commonly characterized as drug paraphernalia. In
most respects it is identical to the Ordinance adopted by the
County of Shasta. He noted that the one significant difference
in the case of the City of Redding is that at least one retail
store sells items which are prohibited by the language of the
Ordinance. He noted that the effective date of the proposed 30`�
ordinance is January 1, 1982 , for two reasons . First, there is
activity at the State level to pass legislation which, in
effect, would make this ordinance conflict with State law. The
second reason deals with the the fact that we do have at least
one retail operation currently legally selling drug parapher-
nalia, and this time frame will allow that operation to amortize
its investment in stock-in-trade currently available for sale.
Councilman Kirkpatrick offered Ordinance No. 1553 for first
reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding
amending Title 10 of the Redding Municipal Code by adopting
Chapter 10 . 62 regulating drug paraphernalia.
