Collins = Water Connection Cliarges Council reviewed the communication dated �February 17th from Mr. Collins re water connection charges 'to his property located on 5haron A.venue. Mr. Collins appeared before Council and asked for an explanation as to why he is being charged a total of $875. 50, whereas other property owners in the area had not been charged any fee except for the meters, He' cited a Mr. Ulberg as an exainple. It was � pointed out that although the City did extend the water line . some 200 feet in order that 1VIr. Ulberg could obtain City water, the City did bill Mr. UTbert for f`ront footage charges. It was explained to Mr. Collins that Mr, Ulbergis total charges amounted to less than what Mr. Collins is being billed because Ulberg�s property area is smaller. . . :. . � _ ,_ � � ��� Mr. Collins asked Council to review the charges and determin.e if he couldn�t be given`some relief. City Attorney Murphy read �� sections of the City Code which specify water service connec- tion charges and advised that Council cannot .waive payment if it is written in the Code. Mayor Moty suggested a deferred type payment might be arranged in view of the rather large sum involved. Mr. Collins thanked the Mayor for his off�r:. but said he didnit think that would help any. �He indicated � that because of the inadequ:ate bridge across the A. . C.�I. D. � Canal, fire trucks and load packers (sanitat'ion trucks). cannot serve the area, and that he hadn°t gained' anytliing by annexing to the City. The bridge belongs to the A: C. I�, D, and the load limit will not permit trucks heavier than light.produce type trucks. Following a discussion regarding the inadequacy of the bridge, Councilman Chatfield requested an investigation be made in order that persons iii the Sharon annexation can receive fire and sanitation service.

P. McIntosh, �Real Estate 1Vlanager for Richfield Oil Corporation, J Mayor Moty asked if anyone in the. audience wished to speak re tlie Official Plan Linesvand the following persons appeared before Council. � � Mr," Herber"t Ball, representative�of the Signal Oil and Ga_s Company, Norwalk Service Station, located on Wiltower Properties, advised that his Company would have no objection to the widening of Athens Avenue but would much prefer a � width of 76�' rather than 80� because of�the location�of'the � ' ' pump"islands iri their serv'ice station. Mr. Ball said they are in favor of widenirig A.thens A.venue all the way from Cypress � ` to South=Street and wou�d dedicate�necessary land but stated ' ` this will require the approval of the Wiltower people, When asked by Mayor Moty whether the Wiltower people had given tentative approval, Mr. Ball said it is generally a routine matter. �� Mr. Frank Shurnan,, representing John Trisdale who has property;on b,oth sides of Athens, A.venue between Cypress and Locust,Streets, said his client feels that whatever plan line .is established.should be the same width between Cypress and Locust as the width established between Locust and South Streets. His client also believes it would lessen economic problems �if,the .plan,line were set at 72�.-rather than 80t - . . _ . Mr. Kelly, .Texaco,. Inc.�, said his, Com,pany ,ob'jects .to the 80� widening.because-.it will-take them out, of business. If the proposed plan line were adopted they would have no driveway.to the outside island on Athens and on ,Locust they would lose the island completely. The only solution would be to move the entire facility back on the property and they would have no objection to this pr,oviding it was moved at no expense-_to the Company. . He .stated that a lesser widen.ing might be workable. : Mr. Charles Fleishman, Partner- in the Village Plaza Shopping Center, stated his .Company;is in accord with the 68= proposed curb-to-curb travelway, and is willing,to deed to th,e City outright_ the necessary footage for the road; how- ever, feels, the proposed sidewalks, in the area are not necessary. Mr. Fleishman said the.y would give additional easexnents for. necessary.utilities. Mr. .Fleishman asked for clarification re right-of-way for underground facilities. _ Pu�blic Works Director A.rness said.the current proposal is � for 80' without any additional easements, The only possi- bility for easements would be for fire hydrants or ornamental light standards. Planning Director .Keyes indicated that if , Council did not approve _undergrounding,utility facilities, easements.might be needed`for pole.s and pole arms, There , is also the question of.wheth�r the Telephone Company will ' uriderground its facilities... Mr.. Fleishman s,aid his Company feels sidewalks ,take valuable land, whereas easement land could be,utilized for, parking. He also stated he wants assur- ance from the City that any parking area lost through deed would be deducted from the off-street parking quota set by _ the City.� � _ � � � �. � Mr. Ball concurred with�Mr. Fleishman re no sidewalks, Planning Director Keyes showed a photograph of the building _ � belonging to the Mosquito Abatement District, ,labelled Exhibit D. Mr. Keyes stated.'that ,staff recommends a right- of-way of 80� for A.thens A.venue between Cypress and South _Streets. He pointed out that only 50°jo of the area .is developed _ at the pre,sent time and as this area develo,ps.it�will increase _ traffic 100°jo, possibly in a 10,-year pe.riod. The Public Works and Planning Departments .recommend a 16� median which , could possibly be.reduced,.to; 12�. Outside.lanes might be reduced from. 14',, to 12a which, with the narrower median; would reduce the right-of.-way:from 80� to 72� but at;hazards as will be explained by the Traffic Engineer. Traffic�Engineer Freeman explained the_necessity .of the , 16� median consisting of a lOs storage lane and a 6' _ � island�at intersections. to prevent:side.sw.iping of trucks �� with overhang. Mr. Freeman said it is possible to get by . � with a 64° travelway, that 66� would be better;. i. e. , 16t median, two 11= inside lanes and two 14� outside lanes, but that staff recommei�ds a 68° curb-to-�cu�rb travelway. 50 Mr. Freeman said he�had-been in eontact with�James Ray; Sacramento Gounty Traffic Engineer,- arid he con- curs that the proposed 68� travelway is the safest and - best solution for areas with this type of development. �In answer�to a question as to future pedestrian traffic in the A.thens_ A.venue Axea, Mr. Freeman said he was unable to project a figure but said he does see a need � for sidewalks, particularly as present planning sh�ould � coneern itself with a 10 to 20 year period, and inasmuch as there is foot �raffic to the nearby recreatiori area; to - a school bus loading zone in the area, and because of the nearby residential area. � MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Councilman Ghatfield the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous A.yes � � In a general discussion-following the close of the hearing, � Councilman Chatfield questioned the pol�icy the City would follow if the plan.line were adopted; i, e. , acquiring the necessary property where it is not dedi�cated and, -in� - addition, bearing the reconstruction costs, Mayor Moty � said it would appear the only problem areas.we have are ones connected with the various service stations and • � suggested a little more study be given towards a possible solution to this problerri,Mayor Moty said he is in agreement with Mr. Shuman that the treatment of�the stre�et should be � the same from Cypress to South Street and that aTl the � property owners be treated in the same manner. � Councilman Chatfield concurred that the travelways could possibly be narrowed but he believes sidewalks are_necessary and is in favor of retaining the 80° right-of-way, Councilman Fulton questioned the value of sidewalks and feels the additional IO` �required for them would be a real factor as far as service stations and�other businesses are concerned. Councilman Denny said he felt more information. is needed as to possible � easement requirements but favors the proposed plan line because he believes it is in the best interest �of property owners, Councilman Doherty approves the plan line but believes the plan should •be updated and corrected; resolving the question of underground or above ground utilities, etc. Council�decided to take the matter under advisemerit until � the meeting of M�areh 7th. � � � , � Mayor Moty raised the question -- if Council �adopts the plan line on Ma'rch 7th and certain teritative agreements are - made with•property owners deeding land-and the-n, for various reasons, �one or more property owne.rs indicate the only way - they will relinquish their �and is t�?rough condemnation, �:�;.:• which would make �it unfeasibl`e for t�e City to continue, may � the City abanc�on the plan line?� City A.ttorney Murphy advised that the Code is silent on abandonment of plan lines once they are adopted; however, a �General L-aw City has` the power to undo what it has done, subject to-certain limits. Mayor Moty requested the City � A.ttorney to have an opinion researched regarding the matter � of abandonment of plan lines by the meeting of March 7th, . � � � City Attorney Mur_phy wa� asked if the public hearing could be reopened and advised it is possible if the parties who voted to close the hearing wish to have it reopened. 5i ORDINA.NCE - re Personnel Rules MOTION�: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Gouncilman Doherty that full reading of the ordinance be waived, and the-City A.ttorney instructed to scan same.
