Planning Director Harris pointed out on the Vu Graph the properties under consideration for rezoning and reviewed the Planning Commission recomrnendation. The Commission recorrunended that: 1) The property located on the north side of Sonoma, west of West Street, be changed from R-T to R-3 District; 2) the triangular parcel between Sonoma and Octavia Streets east of Vista Avenue be changed from R-1 to R-3-15-F, and 3) the area between Court, West, 5chley, and Sonoma Streets be changed from R-1 to CO with the exception of two lots which are proposed to remain in the R-1 classification :,,; and the lot at the southwest corner of Court and Sonoxna which is recorzunended for CO-F 289 A petition signed by 80 persons purported to be property owners , and residents in the area in opposition to the proposed rezoning of the triangular parcel between Sonoma and Octavia Streets was filed with the City Clerk by Harry Hazeltine of 2043 Octavia Street, and a sumx7iary thereof was read to Council by the City Attorney. � � Mr. Paul Vollmers of 2268 Vista Avenue also appeared in opposition to the rezoning of this triangular parcel of property.

Mr. Maurice Johannessen, representing the owners of a portion of the property between Court, West, Schley, and Sonoma Streets , requested an explanation of the "F" restriction on the lot at the southwest corner of Court and Sonoma Streets which is recommended for CO-F zoning. Mr. Harris stated that the "F" designation was , attached in order that adequate site distance could be obtained at the property line. The corner clearance recommended is a 15 ft. triangular clearanc e at the property line . Mr. Johanne s s en said he is satisfied with this designation. MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Councilman Chatfield that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous � Aye s In a discussion of the proposed rezoning of the triangular parcel located between Sonoma and Octavia Streets , Councilman Chatfield said it is his feeling that there should be a study of street patterns ' and possible abandonment of some street rights of way before � ; rezoning of this parcel is considered. !

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes 'i '� � PUBLIC H�EARING - Russell and Weldon Streets Sewer Assessment District The hour of 8;00 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Moty opened the `��6 public hearing re Russell and Weldon Streets Sewer Assessment District 1968-2. �� 290 The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: C ertificate of Ma iling - Noti ce of filing a s s e s sme nt and time of public hearing Certificate of Posting - " " " " Affidavit of Publication - " " " " The City Clerk advised Council that written protests had been received from Mr. William Albert Peters, 517 Parkview Avenue and Mr. C. C. Mayberry, 495 Parkview Avenue. The protests were read in full by the City Clerk. In his letter to Council, Mr. Peters alleged that his property is not within the Assessment District. Assistant Civil Engineer Hastings showed the Assessment District on the Vu Graph and pointed out that Mr. Peters' property was included in the petition and boundary map for the reason that the grade is such that his property could not be hooked up to a sewer line on Parkview Avenue when such line is installed. In Mr. Mayberry's letter to Council he stated that he is in favor of property improvements but is concerned that the grade with relation to his sewer hookup in this assessment district is such that he would prefer to hook up to a sewer line on Parkview as soon as the line is put in. Mrs. Mayberry appeared before Council and confirmed that it is not the expense which concerns them; that they want a guaranteed trouble-free installation. Assistant Civil Engineer Hastings said that the slope at this particular hookup is slightly better than 1°jo and that there are quite a number of such installations (4" laterals) throughout the City with that degree of slope that a.re trouble free. In a discussion of this item it was suggested that perhaps a 6',' lateral instead of the 4" lateral would operate successfully, and it was also suggested that the sewer line be placed under the garage to av.oid 90" angles. Both Public Works Director Arness and Mr. Hastings stated that in this application a 4" line would be better since it is to be connected to a 4" lateral and because the liquid in the line will flow faster in a 4" line with that degree of slope; they also felt it was not desirable to place the line under the garage in the -ev�ent that the owners subsequently would desire to install a concrete slab in the garage. Bond Counsel Ed Ness was asked the proper procedure to follow in the instance of the Mayberry protest. He stated that Council has to decide whether there is benefit or no benefit to the Mayberry property. If there is benefit, then it should be included and assessed. In answer to Councilman Chatfield's inquiry as to why the depth of the lines was so limited, Mr. Hastings replied that it was done in an attempt to keep excavation at a depth where costs were within reason. He reminded Council that this project had to be bid twice in order to obtain a bid within reason. Councilman Chatfield recommended that if and when the Mayberrys hook up to the sewer line, City crews check grades carefully in order that the City is able to give assurance that the sewer line will work satisfactorily. He also said that if the sewer line were to give them trouble in the future, he feels that the City should extend the Parkview Avenue sewer line to their lot wlien the sewer line is put in. City Attorney Murphy said that the City is on notice and if there is a back flooding of the line caused by this design and grade the City would be liable for the resultant damage to their property. He further stated that Council is within its rights to instruct the Director of Public Works to be very certain that the line is properly installed by the private contractor. f 291 � Mayor Moty said that considering the interest of the property � owner, the City is on notice so the property owner is protected, and he does feel that the property is benefited by the sewer line. MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Councilman f Fulton that the public hearing be closed.

MOTION: Made by Councilman Chatfield, seconded by Councilman Denny that if at some time and point in the future it proves that the lateral to the sewer on the Mayberry property, parcel number 104-38-17, is not functioning properly due to the engineer's design of the project, that the City will extend the sewer line on Parkview , Avenue from the east property line of the property adjacent to the Mayberry property on the east to the east line of the Mayberry property. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes ORDINANCE - pertaining to sewers � /��f� At the request of the City Attorney, action on this item was tabled until the meeting of January 6, 1969• . OR.DINANCE - re Late Registration Fees and Proration of Dog License Fees MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Councilman Chatfield that full reading of Ordinance No. 995 be waived, and the � City Attorney be instructed to scan same.

Mr. Chatfield said that he feels the cost of illuminating the sign is more ��-�' than the City should spend. He pointed out that the cost of a Scotchlite � non-electrical sign is $100/month versus the $135/month charge for an electrical sign and that the additional one-time charge of $3 .50/sq. ft.. of lettering for Scotchliting the sign would be offset by the $35/month saving in having a non-electrical sign. -Council favored this idea rather than expend the $1 ,000. to $1 , 500. for an electric sign. Council also reviewed a letter received from the Chamber of Commerce dated December 12, 1968 re new format for the signs north and south of Redding. Council expressed an interest in having the sign north of Redding constructed as proposed by the Chamber of Commerce , using one color for the lettering, and that the south sign use multi-color lettering as proposed by Ryan Outdoor Advertising. MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Councilman Fulton that the rental of tlie-Ryan Outdoor A.dvertising illuminated billboard sign north of Redding be terminated and that the motel owners' sign be re- designed as proposed by the Chamber of Commerce, using Scotchlite construction. The Vote: Unanimous A.yes MOTION: Made by Councilman Chatfield, seconded by Councilman Denny authorizing the Mayor to execute a contract with Ryan Outdoor Advertising to assume the motel owners sign north of Redding at $100/month. The Vote: Unanimous A.yes CIVIC A.UDITORIUM - Seating Report re rejecting bids Councilman Denny reviewed the report of the A.uditorium Committee dated December 12, 1968 regarding auditorium seating, in which it was ,i�� recommended that Council adopt a resolution rejecting bids submitted by 1� manufacturers on March 18, 1968, and authorizing the A.uditorium Committee to negotiate with one or more manufacturers to furnish the seats upon the basis of a negotiated proposal. Mr. Denny pointed out that the following additions and corrections should be made to the A.uditorium Corr�xnittee Report: Page 3, Paragraph l , add - "Council recognizes that American Seating would p�ovide for moving the heavier units on casters ." Page 3, Paragraph 2, line 6 should read - "---with platforms of minimum 4-1/2" risers ." Page 3, Paragraph 3, add - "Holsinger offers a combination of four different shades of upholstery. This does not mean a choice of colors but a combination of four different shades in this single installation. American Seating offers a choice of colors.
