NORTH BONNYVIEW SEWER ASSESSMENT DISTRICT LOANS - Status Report Planning and Community Development Director Harris reviewed the memorandum to Council dated January 30, 1979 from the Housing Administrator.

Loans totaling $36,243.72 were granted to eight elderly families and five other low-income families. Mr. Harris indicated the program received a very positive response from all members of the neighborhood and will encourage use of the housing rehabilitation loan program in the spring. ENTERPRISE ANNEX No. 79-1 - Proposed Annexation east of Alta Mesa In a communication to the City dated December 18, 1978, W.H. Piles, representing American Land Investors, requested annexation of 80 acres of undeveloped land east of Alta Mesa to the City of Redding. The area was shown on the Vu Graph. Planning and Community Development Director Harris said that in discussing this matter with the applicants, staff suggested the annexation include the intervening developed area in order to avoid creating a peninsula. Following discussions with the applicants, contact was made with resident property owners of the intervening area, and they were found to be less than enthusiastic about annexation. Mr. Harris said the applicants wish to pursue the annexation as they desire to subdivide their property and connect to the City water system. If Council wishes to proceed with the annexation as requested, the appropriate action would be to approve the request and direct the staff to prepare the application for submission to the Local Agency Formation Commission. Councilman Kirkpatrick said he would like to see the proposed annexation go ahead and said he understood that a large percentage of the property owners contacted did not respond. Councilman Fulton said he felt it is important to annex the entire area thereby excluding the formation of a peninsula. Mr. Harris said that the applicants contacted the property owners by mail. The responses to the initial contact were mostly negative. He indicated that it is possible that further discussion in the neighborhood might lead to a subsequent proposal for annexation as a separate matter. 35 Mayor Demsher questioned how many persons actually responded. Mark Simons, 525 Royal Oak Drive, stated that he had mailed out 36 question- naires and received 16 responses. Of the 16 responses, three were for the proposal, two stated they might possibly be for the proposal, and the remaining responses were negative. Councilwoman Gard said it might be advisable to hold a community meeting with the property owners or send a letter from the City explaining the pros and cons of annexation. Mr. Harris said he has been asked to prepare a position statement for submission to the property owners. Councilman Kirkpatrick said he thinks that property owners are very sensitive about annexation stemming from feelings that go back many years when the first proposal for annexation of the E.P.U.D. to the City was considered. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilwoman Gard that Council proceed with the annexation as requested, and direct staff to prepare the necessary application for submission to the Local Agency Formation Commission. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Gard, Kirkpatrick, and Demsher Noes: Council Members - Fulton Absent: Council Members - Pugh COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM - Setting Hearing Date MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilwoman Gard setting a public hearing for 7:30 P.M. , February 20, 1979, pertaining to the application to the Department of Housing and Urban Development for Year 5 of Community Development Block Grant Entitlement funds, and Year 2 of a Small Cities Discretionary Grant.

It was noted that the Public Hearing to be conducted by the County Board of Supervisors on the E.I.R. re the proposed facility is February 20, which is the date of the next Council meeting. Planning and Community Development Director Harris noted that drafts of cc' the E.I.R. have been distributed to the Planning Commission with the request for comments which will be condensed into a concise report for submission to the City Council and the County Board of Supervisors. Mr. Harris stated that no specific timeline has been set up for the Planning Commission to respond. Council discussed adjourning its meeting to Friday, February 9, for consideration of this and other items. No immediate action was taken.

REQUEST FOR ASSESSMENT DISTRICT - Goodwater Avenue At its September 5, 1978 meeting, Council referred the informal petition from the property owners in the Goodwater Avenue area requesting formation of a water line assessment district to the Public Works Department for study and appropriate action. Public Works Director Arness said that staff has reviewed the request and is of the opinion that an assessment district is not appropriate at this r time based on the land use map recommendations of the Enterprise Citizens ( Committee, size of parcels, lack of a meaningful scheme to develop the area, and the inequities of spreading costs to only the adjoining property when the 12" line in the proposed Master Plan serves other adjacent area properties. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilwoman Gard postponing development of an assessment district until such time as sufficient progress is made on the aforestated issues to provide for organized development of the area. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes RESOLUTION - Landfill Charges Public Works Director Arness reviewed his memo to Council dated January 30, 1979 discussing the landfill charges, which memo is hereby made a part of these minutes by reference.

Councilman Kirkpatrick confirmed that there would be no charge for City residents for use of the landfill. Mr. Arness replied in the affirmative. 37 MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilwoman Gard that Council makes the following findings regarding the resolution establishing a fee schedule for disposing of solid waste materials at the City of Redding Sanitary Landfill: 1.

OLNEY CREEK Public Works Director Arness reviewed his memorandum to Council dated January 29, 1979, which memorandum is hereby made a part of these minutes by reference. Mr. Arness advised Council that the City of Redding recently received two letters from a developer, J.G.S. Hirtle, and his engineer, PACE Engineering, requesting approval of a plan to develop Bonnyview Meadows Subdivision located on the east side of. Olney Creek. Their original request for tentative approval was made quite some-time ago and they are anxious for some progress on their proposal. Mr. Arness reviewed that on. June 19, 1978, Council approved a special study pertaining to Olney Creek by Ott Water Engineers. Subsequent to 6 receipt of this study, the project was amended to review alternative construction of water storage structures upstream from the ACID Canal. I1 Mr. Arness said that after reviewing the amendedlproject, it was concluded that the alternative plan was impractical due to construction costs ($1,015,000 to 1,752,000) . These costs do not include land acquisition and siphon reconstruction needed at the ACID Canal to make the plan work. Mr. Arness said the following areas in the creek have confined or con- stricted flow: 1. ACID Canal 2. State Route 273, SPRR, and Eastside Road crossings of the creek 3. Sacramento Drive 4. Girvan Road He pointed out selected sections of the Ott Water Engineers report illus- trating to some extent the magnitude of the problems faced. Mr. Arness pointed out that the developer has offered a proposed solution to the potential flooding problem on his property only as follows: 1. Developer to construct a dike approximately 150 feet east of Olney Creek through entire property to intersect with Sacramento Drive roadbed; 2. Straightening of existing creek channel; 3. Provide erosion protection where required. Mr. Arness noted that the Members of the Planning Commission have walked the Creek and he believes a field trip by Council would be in order to _ 38 review the nature of this Creek. He further recommended that the City Council and the Planning Commission get together in a study session and determine what could or should be done with respect to Olney Creek in its entirety, not only that portion involving the Hirtle development. Councilwoman Gard noted that the Ott Water Engineer's report gives alterna- tive measures, but does not cover any comparative cost analyses and she assumed that such cost analyses were being prepared by staff for presen- tation to the Commission. Mrs. Gard indicated she does not believe the Planning Commission should be by-passed in making a decision. Mr. Arness stated that it would be a time-consuming process to prepare cost analyses for the various alternatives. He added that if proposed schemes add liability to the City and flood insurance programs, such schemes might not be viable. City Attorney Murphy said that one alternative is being pushed very strongly by one developer. While a portion of his development has been approved, he feels very strongly that he should be told how much of his land will be made available to him for development within Olney Creek. In order to resolve the question, it would be of great benefit for Council to take a field trip with the Public Works Director to the area from the Sacramento River to Girvan Road and hear the alternative possibilities. Mr. Murphy noted that the problem is not merely monetary, but also ecological. He said that perhaps Council could resolve the issues in a much shorter time if a visual approach is taken. Councilwoman Gard does not feel that decisions can be made on individual portions of Olney Creek, but that the entire Creek should be considered at one time. Mr. Arness said that a concrete channel might be a perfect engineering solution, but would not be acceptable aesthetically. He indicated that protection for that area of the Creek between the Sacramento River and Girvan Road is imperative. Mayor Demsher said he feels the City must consider four values - responsi- bility, liability, cost, and aesthetics. He feels aesthetics are important and the beauty of the Creek should be protected as much as possible. Mr. Murphy summarized by saying that there are possibly seven or eight solutions to the problem, but the field trip will help Council determine if it is willing to accept the developer's solution to his portion of the Creek. Councilwoman Gard noted that flood plain zoning might be an alternative. With concurrence of other Council Members, Mayor Demsher directed Public Works Director Arness to arrange a field trip for Council Members to study Olney Creek.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes HILLTOP DRIVE WIDENING - at Dana Drive Public Works Director Arness submitted a sketch showing proposed improve- ments along the west side of Hilltop Drive north of Dana Drive as a result of construction of the Sacramento Savings and Loan building there. Mr. Arness advised Council that in April of 1976, as a condition of Use Permit No. UP-29-76, the City entered into an agreement with the owners of the property on the west side of Hilltop Drive for acquisition of the neces- sary right of way to develop Hilltop Drive to its ultimate width. In consideration of this right of way, the City was to construct the improve- ments and do certain extensions of the drainage system that lies within the street right of way. This agreement was again approved as a condition of approval of Use Permit No. UP-147-76 issued to Sacramento Savings and Loan. Public Works Director Arness said it is the recommendation of his Department that Council approve the project which is estimated to cost $40,000 and for which no provision is made in the 1978-79 fiscal year budget and to authorize advertisement for bids on this project. City Attorney Murphy advised Council that the City is contractually obligated to construct these improvements.
