WRITTEN COMMUNICATION
Greater Redding Chamber of Commerce
A communication was received from the Greater Redding Chamber
L{ of Commerce concerning the location of the proposed Civic Auditor-
ium Reader Board.

will not be a Reader Board but an Identification Board; that Reader
Boards will be established at the two Malls. With the approval of

BUENAVENTURA PROJECT - Land Acquisition
Councilman Pugh abstained from discussion and voting on this item.
City Manager Brickwood reviewed his memorandum to Council dated
March 4, 1977 concerning acquisition of property re the Buenaventura
Project. As a solution to the problem of finding additional funds to
relocate owner -occupants in the Linden Avenue area, it is recommended
that the Community Development Program be amended, as the only
available source of funds is within the existing Community Development
Block Grant. In order to fund the additional relocation housing payments,
it will be necessary to reduce or eliminate some other project in the
Community Development Program. It is estimated that the total com-
bined supplemental payments authorized by this amendment should not
exceed $60,000. It is suggested that the necessary funds for the addi-
tional relocation housing payments be rebudgeted from the housing -
rehabilitation loan program, and that Council adopt a resolution author-
izing the additional payment.
Mr. Brickwood noted that three full time field representatives will be
working with the owner -occupants to assist them in finding housing,
and that the representatives will contact such persons.
He further stated that this resolution addresses itself only to owner -
occupants, and that he is working on the problem of absentee landlords

with rental units. He hopes to have a report to Council on this matter
at the next meeting.

PUBLIC HEARING - Appeal re Use Permit UP -30-77 by Carrol Hammar
Councilman Pugh abstained from discussion and voting on this item.
The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Fulton opened
the Public Hearing on Appeal re Use Permit UP -30-77 by
Carrol Hammar
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
Memorandum from Director of Planning and Community
Development dated March 4, 1977
The City Clerk advised Council that a letter has been received
from Eric Ostling which states that Mr, and Mrs. Ostling oppose
the Appeal.
Associate Planner Perry reviewed the above referenced memorandum
to Council which states that the Redding Planning Commission approved
Use Permit UP -30-77, granting Carrol Hammar permission to operate
a mobilehome park in the City and to expand the park by 18 additional
spaces, subject to certain conditions. Mr. Hammar subsequently
appealed the conditions of approval of the use permit. The applicant
is opposed to the requirement that a 30 -foot wide strip of land along
the southern property boundary be dedicated to the City of Redding
for street and utility purposes. The location of the park, expansion,
and proposed easement were shown on the Vu Graph. The position
taken by the Commission was that each land owner is responsible
for his share of the extension of needed streets along property lines
and is also responsible for his share of the improvements of these
rights of way where they relate directly to the development or are
used as access. The Commission did not require installation of
curbs, gutters, and sidewalks; nor did they require dedication of
the 60 -foot -wide road easement along the eastern property boundary.
Mr. Hammar appeared before Council. He requested that Council-
man Demsher abstain from discussion and voting on this item, inas-
much as Mr. Demsher is employed by the Shasta High School District
and Mr. Hammar is a candidate for the Shasta High School District
Board.
City Attorney Murphy confirmed Mr. Demsher's assertion that
there is not a conflict of interest as Mr. Hammar is not at this
time a member of the School Board.
Mr. Hammar questioned the need of a use permit from the City,
noting that the use permit granted by the County should prevail
as he has been continually building on this property and that, in
his opinion, the construction has not been done in stages.

City Attorney Murphy stated that the County's jurisdiction ended
when annexation became effective, and any subsequent construc-
tion not specifically permitted by the County prior to annexation
is subject to City regulations.
Councilman Demsher said he believes the issue is whether Mr.
Hammar is willing to dedicate an easement for street and utility
purposes.
Mr. Hammar stated that the only opposition to his appeal is from
the Ostlings who do not live in the City and who have tried to get
hire to put a road through to their property. He stated that there
is a 30 -foot easement along the southern boundary of his property
and that he has improved the easement from Churn Creek Road to the
driveway into his mobilehome park. Mr. Hammar said he will not
dedicate what is required unless the City guarantees that he will not
b0orced to pay for the improvement of the dedicated area.
Mr. Murphy said the City is unable to guarantee what is requested.
He did state, however, that it iso,unlikely that Mr. Hammar will ever
be compelled to pave the dedicated area without his consent, even if
an assessment district is formed.
M . Hammar asked Mr. Murphy what law requires that he dedicate
land to the City for road easement.
Mr. Murphy replied that the law provides that when a developer
generates traffic which requires the development of an adjacent
street or roadway contiguous to a subdivision or mobilehome park
that is creating some of the traffic, the City can impose conditions
upon the development to solve the traffic problem which will be
generated. He noted that Mr. Hammar's mobilehome park is being
expanded from an existing street by a "L" shaped area on his land
and already dedicated as a private roadway to the benefit of Mr.
Hammar and other neighbors, and it is reasonable for the City to
require that he dedicate the front 30 feet of his property (that is
already a private roadway easement) to the City as a public street.
Mr. Hammar said he would be willing to dedicate the 30 foot portion
from the driveway entrance to his mobilehome park (approximately
300 feet).
There was discussion as to whether it would be possible for the
City to develop the street in exchange for dedication of the land.
Mr. Murphy stated that the City has a variety of procedures with
respect to street improvement' and, if Council wishes, it can
waive any street assessment in exchange for dedication of land.
Goluncilman Anderson said he felt that Mr. Hammar should receive
some sort of credit against future street assessments.
Councilwoman Gard said she feels strongly that street dedications
are very important, noting that there is access by easement all
throughout the Cascade, Enterprise, and Buckeye areas. She
stated that if the City abandons this policy, the taxpayer will pay
the bill for acquisition of property to build roads.
Mr. George Dymesich, who owns the property to the south of Mr.
Hammar said that the property owners to the east of Mr'. Hammar's
property did not fulfill their promise to provide a 30 -foot easement
as 'a continuation of the easement to the east of Mr. Hammar's
property. He believes that they have not acted in good faith -- that
they can now use Mr. Hammar's easement for access to their
property and so do not feel it necessary to provide an easement
for street and utility purposes. The property to the east of Mr.
Hammar's is not within the City. Mr. Dymesich owns the other
half of the 60 foot easement.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilwoman
Gard that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
with Councilman Pugh abstaining.
Councilman Demsher stated that if Mr. Hammar is being asked to
subsidize other property owners, perhaps it would be viable to use
the value of the property he is dedicating against any future assess-
ment district.
Mr. Murphy stated that an alternative would be to have Mr. Hammar
dedicate the portion that is already paved -- approximately 300 feet
from the driveway entrance to the westerly boundary of his property.
Public Works Director Arness noted that the exchange of right of
way for street improvements has been used primarily on major
str.eets where it benefits the public rather than private individuals .
Otherwise, the taxpayers are paying for services for private
developers.
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman
Demsher that the appeal be denied.
Voting was as follows:
=Ayes: Councilmen - Demsher and Gard
Noes: Councilmen - Anderson and Fulton
Absent: Councilmen - None
Abstain: Councilmen - Pugh
MOTION: Made by Councilman.Demsher, seconded by Councilwoman
Gard that the foregoing motion be amended that upon dedication of the
30 foot easement, the value of that portion of the property to be dedi-
cated east of the easterly side of Mr. Hammar's driveway be credited
at today's value for any future street improvements, and that the use
permit be granted. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Councilman
Pugh abstaining
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilwoman
Gard that Use Permit UP -30-77 be granted, subject to the performance
of all conditions of said Use Permit (including Condition No. 5, the
subject matter of said appeal), provided that the City shall give the
applicant credit, computed on the basis of today's market value, for
that portion of dedication lying east of the easterly edge of the
applicant's driveway into the mobilehome park, towards any sub-
sequent street improvements within the area of said dedication and
as the result of an assessment district formation or other procedure
in which the applicant is not a voluntary participant. The Vote:
unanimous Ayes with Councilman Pugh abstaining.
PUBLIC HEARING - Appeal of F. L. Chapter, et al of Use Permit
UP -35-77 granted to Lewis McCaslin
The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Fulton opened the
Public Hearing re Appeal of F. L. Chapter, et al of Use Permit
\ UP -35-77 granted to Lewis McCaslin.
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
Memorandum from Director of Planning and Community
Development dated March 4, 1977
59
The City Clerk advised Council that a petition signed by approxi-
mately twenty families in opposition to granting of Use Permit
UP -35-77 has been received.
Associate Planner Perry reviewed the aforementioned memorandum
to Council. The applicant plans to construct duplexes on three
individual 20,000 square foot lots located at 2120, 2136, and 2152
Marlene Avenue in a "U" Unclassified District, which property was
zoned "R-2" Duplex prior to annexation. ,The area under considera-
tion was shown on the Vu Graph. The Planning Commission approved
the permit, subject to certain conditions, including approval by the
Shasta County Health Department of sewage disposal system. The
applicant has proposed that a common septic tank be used for each
duplex.
The following people appeared before Council in opposition to
granting of the Use Permit:
Frank Chapter Dave Heins
Roger Martin Robert Foote
Their ar'eas of concern include the possible sewage, problem and
contamination of wells, the change in character of the neighborhood
from primarily singly family to multiple family, thus lowering
property values, and the effect of increased density upon traffic and
schools:
Mr. McCaslin, the applicant, submitted letters from James Lee
and Ruth Marshall, signers of the petition, who stated that the petition
was misrepresented to them and that they do not object to the
duplexes.
Mr. McCaslin said that when he purchased the property it was
zoned ''R-2" and he was assured that his proposal to construct
three duplexes would cause no problem. He said he plans to re-
side in one of the units, and two other members of his family in-
tend to reside in the other units, and that they will be well main-
tained.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman
Pugh that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes
In a discussion regarding the appeal, Council expressed concern
about the prolifereation of septic tank systems within the area, and
of the serious traffic problem on Alta Mesa which would be aggra-
vated by increased density in the area.
Councilman Demsher also mentioned the over -crowded school
conditions and the sentiment expressed to maintain the area as a
single-family residential neighborhood.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilwoman
Gard approving the appeal.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Councilmen - Anderson, Demsher, and Gard
Noes: C ouncilmen - Pugh and Fulton
Absent: Councilmen - None
Councilman Anderson said he believes a study should be made regarding
multiple family units on septic tanks and that the entire Enterprise area
should be zoned as quickly as possible.
Councilman Pugh concurred and added that thought should also be
given as to the City's ability to provide other services to developments
within the City as well as future annexations.

SPECIAL BENEFIT DISTRICT - Wyndham Lane Area
Planning and Community Director Harris recommended that a Public
Hearing be set for March 21, 1977 to consider the establishment of a
Special Benefit District in the Wyndham Lane area in accordance with
the procedure set forth in Ordinance No. 1305.
Council expressed concern about widening Wyndham Lane without
better access to Market Street. It was stated that Cal Trans plans to
remove the island at the intersection of Wyndham Lane and Market
Street, and the Department of Public Works has draft plans redesigning
Eastside Road.
Councilman Pugh said he would like more detailed information from staff
before proceeding with this district.
Councilwoman Gard asked what effect the delay would have on proposed
development in the area.
She was advised that there are two applications on file at present; one
is for a lot split and the other is for a 24 unit subdivision. In addition,
although the final map for Riverland Estates, Unit 2, has been approved,
only a few building permits have been issued.
The question was raised as to whether it would be possible to get agree-
ments from the developers to pay the assessment at a later date. Council
was advised that it would be necessary to know the amount of the assess-
ment.
Council took no action to set a Public Hearing.

ment, it is recommended that the proposal be referred to the Planning
