12. Gary Lacy, Executive Director of CHECK, stated he' has heard about a lawsuit of the Fire
District (Kilmer vs. Taylor), and asked that it be agendized during a regular meeting for discussion. He
stated there are some on the Council that want to settle this. He stated he would like to know the facts
about this and also information regarding other fire fighter cases. He felt the Council has in the past hid
this type of information from the public. He stated the Fire District is a separate entity and the City should
not be paying any money to settle any lawsuit.
13. Jerie Lee wanted to talk about the Fire District workshop previously held November 8th. She didn't
see how Councilmembers Michael and Spagnolo can vote on any issue pertaining to the Fire District
since they are retired from there and felt it was a conflict of interest. She stated she has done some
calculations on how many calls each fire station handles. She said there is not a need for any more fire
stations in the City. She felt our money would be better spent on a call station as opposed to a fire
station.

a future meeting.

Corporation. He presented a power point presentation, which is on file in the City Clerk's office. He
thanked staff for their work on this project and appreciated their cooperation.
Councilmember Gutierrez asked what the difference is between this project and a HUD project.
Pete Pitassi stated design is one aspect and that they have put a great deal of time into this. He stated
the second aspect is management and the professional manner in which they provide their management
for the project. He commented on the amenities for this project.
Councilmember Gutierrez asked how we know they won't allow criminals and people with poor
backgrounds into this development.

City Clerk's office. He felt 75% of the units for this project are low income units. He also referred to
Health & Safety Code Section 33413 information, which is on file in the City Clerk's office. He did not feel
this project should be allowed at this site because it is outside the Redevelopment Project Area. He felt it
needed an EIR. He also referred to another document from LSA Associates, which is on file in the City
Clerk's office. He didn't feel this project should be 100% affordable housing. He stated they are not
against affordable housing, just this project because it should be smaller and not be 3 stories high.
Kenneth Van Horn, Chestnut Avenue, talked about the inspections done on the project, the workers
parking on the project, the mitigation measures for the project, and showed pictures of the windy days.
He referred to the many environmental issues they saw with the project. They did not feel this project
should be approved. He mentioned that air quality was considered and that he did not, feel it was
completely safe. He mentioned the school fees and wondered if the developer would pay the mitigated or
unmitigated school fees because that would make a difference to the schools. He felt this project would
create noise. He mentioned there were no sidewalks to the park. He did not feel the traffic studies were
done adequately. He hoped the Council appreciates the concerns of the appellant and also the legalities
of it. They hoped that the Council will not approve the project.

program. She stated she is also an employee of the City. She stated it is not a crime to live in low

should be set based on people's income.

the density was a problem. She felt the estimated student number was not correct. She stated the traffic
is a concern to her. She stated she is concerned about the exits out of the project and felt this will create
more traffic on East Avenue. She stated she opposes this project.

this project about three years ago. He felt the San Sevaine project will destroy all the work that has been
done for his area. He didn't feel people were properly notified about this hearing. He felt this
neighborhood is unsafe and that the prison wasn't helping the situation. He felt this is a bad idea for this
neighborhood.

Russell Veylupek felt the public noticing was deceiving. He-did not feel what is being proposed was a
good thing for this area. He felt this would create a lot of traffic and crime. He felt there was the
possibility of people who might not be able to pass the credit check and background check, moving in
with someone that has passed all the screenings, and that this would be a problem. He stated he
opposed this project and felt it should be reworked and made smaller.

decision.

market. She asked the Council to remember their kids and felt this should be downsized or disbursed
throughout the City.
Becky Hurst talked about where she used to live in West Covina because they were low income housing
units. She stated she is concerned about crime and the traffic this project will generate. She felt the
project should be made smaller or felt it should be a senior housing project.
Chris Rivanis felt NDC seems like a decent developer, but didn't know why we would want to put so many
units in the proposed area. He felt this should be re-evaluated and possibly place some of these units
throughout the City. He felt this area is very dumpy and needed sidewalks and other improvements to
make it better. He felt this would have an impact on crime increasing and also more traffic. He hoped the
Council would use common sense when making their decision.
Karol Kluz talked about accidents near her house. She stated being the corner house, she has people
hanging out on her corner. She felt it was unsafe because of no handicap access. She stated the traffic
from the car races also close them in when they are taking place. She stated this large of project is what
concerns her and felt the project should be smaller.
Jean Mendez stated she doesn't break any laws and also pays taxes. She stated she told her husband
she could sell her house and move in next door and would not have to work. She stated she is excited

park. She is concerned about her property value going down.

present.
Councilmember Spagnolo asked about the Article 34 information
James Markman, City Attorney stated Article 34 is a law in the constitution that states a local entity would
have to conduct an election if 49% of the units are low income units. He stated this project does not have
this. He stated Article 34 does not apply to this project. He mentioned this project being built out of the
project area. He stated if any Redevelopment Agency does adopt a resolution, which was done many
years ago in Rancho Cucamonga, it can build outside the project area. He stated an EIR is not required
and that the Council is being asked to approve a mitigated negative declaration. He stated the state taw
provides for the density bonuses, and the City cannot deny it. He stated up until about the mid 80's, the
City could regulate the schools, but cannot do this any longer.
Councilmember Spagnolo stated not much has changed in the Cornwall tract. He stated it is their
neighborhood and it is their responsibility to take care of it. He did not feel it is just the City's problem
what is going on in there. He mentioned the State says the City has to build affordable housing units, or
they will come in and build it for you. He stated we have high standards far the affordable housing units
we currently have. He talked about the accomplishments of Nacho Gracia with NDC. He stated this will
not create crime in their community, and that they need to work on what they currently have going on in
their neighborhood. He stated the City is willing to sit down with the residents to help them.
Councilmember Michael talked about his own experiences with his neighborhood. He stated most people
have to pay an assessment for street lighting and landscaping. He stated some of the issues brought up
are separate from the San Sevaine project. He stated there are improvements planned for this area
along Foothill, the new park being developed, and hopefully improvements along Etiwanda. He stated
workforce housing is necessary to provide housing for all income levels. He stated he hasn't heard
anything that crime will increase and traffic would be a problem because of this project. He stated
everyone has received and considered the letters sent to them. He asked if there was any information
presented tonight that should keep them from moving forward with this project.
James Troyer, Planning Director, stated no.
Councilmember Gutierrez felt the people from the Chestnut/Ivy area have been ignored. He stated he
wants to get a schedule for the street improvements for this area. He stated this area needs a lot of
work. He felt this would really be a nice project and did not feel it would be a detriment at all. He stated
the City is working on the jail issue. He felt the people will be heard and the background checks will be
done on the people moving in.
Mayor Pro Tem Williams asked the City Attorney why the Council did not respond to the letters.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated before the Council can respond, they need to have the hearing
and receive evidence and discussion before they make their decision. He stated for this reason, he asks
the Council not to take a position on the item to be discussed.
Redevelopment Agency, Fire Protection District and City Council Minutes
December 5, 2007
Page 9
Mayor Pro Tem Williams stated that is why there was not a response to the letters. She stated the
Council has heard what everyone has said about their neighborhood. She felt possibly after the first of
the year there should be a big neighborhood meeting, possibly form some districts and create a change.
She didn't see any reason why the San Sevaine project shouldn't be approved.
Mayor Kurth hoped the improvements along Foothill will help their situation. He felt the prisoners being
released from Wesi Valley is a problem. He stated there is a group of volunteers that tries to assist the
released prisoners, which will make their neighborhood safer. He felt homelessness is a problem
throughout the County. He stated there is always room for volunteers to help these types of problems.
He stated because this project meets all the requirements, it would be hard to deny it. He stated people
that buy property have the right to develop it. He stated property values have not gone down because of
workforce housing projects. He felt the quality will not go down with this project, and that it has to meet all
the standards of the City. He stated he believes and trusts the judgment of the City Attorney. He felt
Northtown Development Corporation has done some great things in the City. He stated he is supportive
of this project.
