M. having arrived, �Mayor Moty operied the Public Hearing re Phase IV - Curb, Gutter, and Sidewalk Construction Project. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Cle rk: Declaration of Mailing and Posting Notice of the Project and Public Hearing thereon Superintendent of Streets "Finding of Fact" dated 4/ 16/68 The City Clerk advised that no written protests had been received, but did note that the Superintendent of Streets was unsuccessful in locating a Mr. Clarence Marshall to notify him of the public hearing. Assistant Civil Engineer Galusha briefed Council re the project ��/ and advised that the cost estimate is based on a front footage basis for curbs and gutters and on a sq, ft. basis for sidewalks. The following persons appeared to protest the construction of curb, gutter anddrivewa`yson the west side of North Market Street; Randy Milhem - Randy's Beauty College Ken Johnston - Miracle Mile Barbershop Bernice Weichers - owner of property leased by the above protestors Messrs. Milhem and Johnston stated that with the construction of curbs and gutters in front of their establishments, there would be inadequate parking. Vertical off-street parking now provides nine parking areas. Mr. Milhem commented that The Wharf Re stau rant would als o suffe r f rom lack of pa rking a rea. M rs. Weichers asked if it would be possible to delay construction for a yea r, du ring which time a s olution to the pa rking p roblem could be sought. In a discussion of this matter it was determined that there are five other parcels on the west side of North Market Street included in this project. Mr. John Reginato and Emil Bronkhurt asked questions regarding drainage problems on State Street and :were assured that with the installation of a catch basin at the approximate location of 724 State Street, water should drain properly in that area. Mr. Brorikhurst said that a Mr. Parker on State Street asked him to bring up the matter of a drainage ditch which runs parallel to his driveway. According to Mr. Parker, the ditch is not on his property but is eroding his driveway. Assistant City Engineer Lang was re- quested to check into this matter. Mr. Ray C. Brown, representing the K. G. B. Petroleum Company said his Company is not opposed to curb and gutter and sidew.alks. but believes the property to the north should be taken care of also. Mr. Brown commented that during the rainy season mud and other debris from the bluffs to the north wash down and leave a mess in 117 front of their property (Sunland Service Station on South Market Street) . He mentioned that the existing catch basin in front of their property is six feet from the curb and that everything bypasses it. He was advised that an additional catch basin will be installed immediately adjacent to the curli which should correct this situation. Mr. Brown contended that he does not believe the catcli basin can handle the muck which runs down. � Members of Council told Mr. Brown they were sympathetic but that, according to law, they could not compel the property owners to the north to correct the situation; that there is no legal way to accomplish this. Assistant C'ity Engineer Lang was instructed to contact all of the property owners to determine whether they are interested in installing curbs and gutters under this project, and to take a look at the area to see if there are any other solutions, and report his findings to Mr. Brown. The subject of a retaining wall was also discussed. Mr. Brown expressed the hope that there is some way this problem can be solved. Assistant City Engineer Lang reported that the Presbyterian Church on Placer Street has asked that it not be included in the project at this time because the Episcopal Church will be building on a portion of the property shortly and plans are not yet finalized as to where driveways will be located. MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Councilman Fulton that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes � It was the consensus of Council that the construction of curb, � gutter, and driveways on the west side of North Market Street should be delayed one year, and that the request of the Presbyterian Church for a delay is reasonable. MOTION: Made by.Councilman Denny, seconded by Councilman Fulton that Resolution No. 4060 be adopted, as amended by the deletion of the property located on the west side of North Market Street, between De1 Mar Avenue and Benton Drive; arid 'the south side of Placer Street, between Magnolia Street and the entrance to Benton Airport, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding ord'ering the construction of certain improvements in certain' designated locations on. certain designated streets in the City of Redding, pursuant to Chapter 27 of the Improvement Act of 1911.

M. having arrived, Mayor Moty opened the Public Hearing on amendinents to Chapter 30 re Site Plan Review. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission Recommendations dated 5/2/68 The City Clerk advised that no written protests had been received and the Mayor ascertained there were no protests from the floor. Planning Director Harris reviewed the Planning Commission recommendations and the reasons for,the proposed amendments to the Code which will combine the existing "F" District and the "architectural contro.l" provisions into a new section entitled "Site Plan Review. " i�y In a discussion of the proposed amendments, Councilman Chatfield expressed concern re the Planning Commission establishing guide- lines, as set forth in Section 30-17(�c). It is his belief that it creates a situation where property within the proposed district should not necessarily be subj:ect to the same conditions. It was pointed out that although the existing provisions allow this�flexi- bility, they are ambiguous, and it is felt that the proposed ordi- nance will clarify this situation.

A tabulation i of costs was submitted which indicated that the total cost . .. of operating this facility for one year is estimated at $7, 816; however, with an estimated income of $10, 000 from admission charges (based on figures supplied by the former operator), the facility could probably be run at no cost to the City, according to Mr. Stephens.

City Attorney Murphy raised three points which he said should be considered: (1) Is the City to maintain the dike?
