Addressing the Council was: (3o) City Council Minutes January 17, 1990 Page 14 John O'Meara, Diversified Shopping Centers, presented background information for this project and how he has worked with the City to meet their requirements. He added they have been requested to pay $189,000.00 in fees for McDonalds which is a 5,000 square foot building. He felt the amount of fees they are paying for this project was unfair. Councilman Alexander asked if there was any proof to support what Mr. O'Meara was saying. Russ Maguire, City Engineer, stated there is nothing in the file to prove this. There being no further response, the public hearing was closed. Councilman Alexander stated he did not know if the cost should be jacked up at this point without the appropriate documentation to support it. Mayor Stout stated he agreed with Councilman Alexander as far as documentation, and further stated he agreed with the Planning Commission. Councilmembers Alexander and Wright concurred. MOTION: Moved by Alexander, seconded by Buquet to deny the appeal. Motion carried unanimously, 4-0-1 (Brown absent). A Resolution is to come back at the next meeting supporting this action. G. PUBLIC HEARINGS Rick Gomez, Community Development Director, left the room prior to discussion of the next item. G1. TENTATIVE TRACT 13303 - LEWIS HOMES - An appeal of the Planning Commission's decision to deny a request for a time extension for a residential subdivision and design review of 96 single family lots on 13.98 acres of land in the Terra Vista Planned Community designated Low-Medium Density (4-8 dwelling units per acre) located at the southwest corner of Terra Vista Parkway and Mountain View Drive - APN 227-151-13 and 14. Staff report presented by Dan Coleman, Principal Planner. (0701-06 APPEAL) Mayor Stout asked how they plan to go about resolving the street that has been deleted from the tract. Dan Coleman, Principal Planner, stated that presently the master plan for this area shows that it will be greenway. Russ Maguire, City Engineer, stated with the deletion of this street the City Engineer would not have found it in compliance with the tentative, and would have requested they go back and modify it to delete the street through the Planning Commission. City Council Minutes January 17, 1990 Page 15 James Markman, City Attorney, stated he felt it would take special legislation by the Council to let them build this out even if they granted the extension. James Markman, City Attorney, stated he was involved in many of the meetings, and felt it was safe to say there was not an agreement between the staff and Lewis Homes as to what was required as far as the basins to qualify as parks. He felt it was a good faith dispute between the two parties as to how the basins became parks and stated it took a long time to resolve this, and during that time their map ran out. He stated as far as looking to see if their map meets criteria to extend it, he questioned if there are changed circumstances that would change policy as it is presented today. Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council Was: Don Thompson, Lewis Homes stated he wanted to add to his letter he had written, and told about the basin issue. He further stated that with all that has gone on with this he felt they have been given an extreme penalty for trying to cooperate with the City. He stated he felt the Planning Commission Chair sympathized with Lewis Homes on the inequity of this, and felt in lieu of the City Ordinance, he would have granted the extension. Mayor Stout asked if the new standards would cause this tract to be redesigned. Mr. Thompson stated yes. There being no further response, the public hearing was closed. Councilman Buquet felt there were a lot of extenuating circumstances and felt there could have been a better way to go then to deny the tract map. Councilman Alexander stated he concurred. Mayor Stout gave further background on the planning of this project. He felt both the City and Lewis Homes were at fault in this matter. He stated he did not feel the park specs were specific enough. James Markman, City Attorney, stated he is not aware of anyone that would come in and amend a tract map as far as changing street alignments and date it back to the date of the original map, and that it presents a problem. He stated that Lewis Homes says these are technical problems, and stated if the Council wanted to work on this they could. He stated he did think this presented a problem. Councilman Buquet stated he felt this should be a win-win situation, and felt there were equal problems on both sides of the issue. He did not feel where the City was at right now was an appropriate resolution. He felt the City should go back and define what the specific main conflict is. Jack Lam, City Manager, stated if the City Council wants to do anything other than support the Planning Commission's decision that Mr. Markman should research this. City Council Minutes January 17, 1990 Page 16 Councilman Buquet felt this should come back at the next meeting. RESOLUTION NO. 90-038 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, DENYING AN APPEAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S DECISION TO DENY A TIME EXTENSION FOR TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 13303 - APN 227-151-13 AND 14, AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF MOTION: Moved by Alexander, seconded by Wright to continue the item to the February 7, 1990 meeting to obtain additional information. Motion carried unanimously, 4-0-1 (Brown absent). G2. CONSIDERATION OF THE MODIFIED ALIGNMENT FOR SUMMIT AVENUE WEST OF ETIWANDA AVENUE TO TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 13812 - WATT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DEVELOPMENT Staff report presented by Dan Coleman, Principal Planner. (1110-10 STREET PI) Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council were: Larry Lewis, Watt Southern California Development, 13812 Newport Avenue, Tustin, presented information on the project, and told about the negotiations he has been doing with the property owners involved. He stated he has asked the City to move forward with the condemnation process. He wanted the City Council to know that he has put forth a good faith effort to get this resolved, and asked that they approve staff's recommendation. Todd Peters0n, Arcadia, stated he was assured in 1986 that there would be no condemnation to the buildings, and that they would not have any reduction to their lot yields. He felt the fair market value is actually double what is being offered to him, and added that would be a real hardship on him financially. John Chang, 9227 Haven, stated they are developing the property near the Watt Homes. He stated they want to get the structure built and that he is dedicating land to get the project completed. He felt this situation was unfair. Jamie Peterson, Arcadia, stated that this alignment would adversely affect him if this happened. Bill Barnes, 12715 Summit, stated he is not in total agreement with the idea of the alignment, but is willing to go along with it instead of the previous alignment that was proposed. City Council Minutes January 17, 1990 Page 17 Lewis Trout, 7861 Leucite, after hearing the public testimony, stated he was not sure the Watt Company gave the property owners the opportunity to input into the process and submit valuation data for the appraisals as part of the negotiation process. He felt if the Council approved the right-of-way proposal, there needed to be some consideration given to the property owners' situations because he did not feel they have been treated fairly in the negotiations process. James Markman, City Attorney, stated he felt Mr. Trout's comments were inappropriate, that he did not understand all the circumstances, and advised the Council of the process the City would go through prior to entering into a formal condemnation. Mike Helm, 12745 Summit, did not feel the road should go straight through, and that he is not in favor of the alternate presented tonight. There being no further response, the public hearing was closed. Russ Maguire, City Engineer, added they are not asking for condemnation tonight, only to approve the modified alignment, but that any necessary condemnation would come back to the Council at a later date if necessary. Councilwoman Wright stated she does remember the conversations not to take any property. Mayor Stout felt the street should go straight, and did not see any other way to do this, but would like to see it as safe as possible. Councilman Buquet stated he felt the street should go straight through. Councilman Alexander stated he goes along with staff's recommendation. MOTION: Moved by Alexander, seconded by Buquet to adopt the modified alignment. Motion carried unanimously, 4-0-1 (Brown absent). G3. CONSIDERATION TO MODIFY A CONDITION OF APPROVAL TO ELIMINATE THE INSTALLATION OF STREET TREES FOR A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE ADDITION ON 13181 VICTORIA STREET {APN 227-121-22) Staff report presented by Dan James, Sr. Civil Engineer° (0203-02 TREES) Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council was: Jim Banks felt the requirement of the new wind break should be eliminated. He felt the requirement of the new trees near the existing windrows was absurd. (33) City Council Minutes January 17, 1990 Page 18 Councilman Buquet stated he has a problem with planting the trees when they may die because of the existing trees. He felt some kind of improvement agreement should be worked out, and that it could be called due at the appropriate time. Russ Maguire, City Engineer, suggested that if the Council agrees with Mr. Banks, and states they do not want the old trees, he felt it would not be practical to plant the new trees at that time, as the other code section kicks in and a lien agreement could be recorded as the code requires, deferring them to a later date. He further stated he did not think anybody disagrees with not planting the other trees at this time, that he was not recommending this at the present time. Councilwoman Wright stated that with the City's Tree Protection Ordinance we are trying to go in and do something against this. She did not know why this was being discussed tonight. MOTION: Moved by Alexander, seconded by Wright not to take the easement, but record a lien agreement for the installation of the future trees when it is necessary. Motion carried unanimously, 4-0-1 (Brown absent). H, CITY MANAGER'S STAFF REPORTS H1.

(0701-01 APPOINT EMC) Lewis Trout, 7861 Leucite, and representing the membership of the San Gorgonio Chapter of the Sierra Club, commended the proposal submitted. He expressed his opinion on the issues to be worked on by the Commission and informed the Council of other issues that the Commission could work on. Jack Lam stated this proposal does not preclude looking at Mr. Trout's suggestions, but that the issue was only providing a budget for meetings which they would go out of town to. He stated that any other programs the Commission was involved in would come back to the City Council for approval. Councilwoman Wright invited Mr. Trout to attend this new Commission's meetings. MOTION: Moved by Buquet, seconded by Stout to approve the proposed structure. Motion carried unanimously, 4-0-1 (Brown absent). H3o CONSIDERATION OF EXECUTION OF MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING {CO 90-016) BETWEEN ALTA LOMA, CENTRAL AND ETIWANDA SCHOOL DISTRICTS, THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA SHERIFF'S STATION, AND THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA TO EXPLORE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DRUG ABUSE RESISTANCE EDUCATION {DARE) PROGRAM Staff report presented by Jack Lam, City Manager.

Jack Lam, City Manager, stated staff will come back to the Council and describe the entire program once it is established. Deanne Bowers, Central School District, expressed her support of the program. Councilwoman Wright stated that everyone should remember that this does not cover all of the school districts, that the financial issue will come up around April. MOTION: Moved by Buquet, seconded by Wright to approve the MOU. Motion carried unanimously, 4-0-1 (Brown absent). Mayor Stout called a recess at 12:22 a.m. The meeting reconvened at 12:30 a.m. with all members of Council present (Brown absent). (35) (36) City Council Minutes January 17, 1990 Page 20 (37) (38) I. COUNCIL BUSINESS I1. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION RESTRICTING AIR TRAFFIC TRAINING FLIGHTS OVER THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA Staff report presented by Jack Lam, City Manager. (1160-00 TRAFFIC) (0507-02 TRAIN PROG) RESOLUTION NO. 90-041 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, RESTRICTING AIR TRAFFIC TRAINING FLIGHTS OVER THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA MOTION: Moved by Alexander, seconded by Buquet to approve Resolution No. 90- 041. Motion carried unanimously, 4-0-1 (Brown absent). I2. DISCUSSION OF DESIGN OPTIONS FOR OPERATION OF THE CENTRAL PARK LIBRARY Staff report presented by Linda Daniels, Deputy City Manager. (1601-06 LIBRARY) (1404-05 PARK) Councilwoman Wright asked if this has to be decided tonight. Jack Lam, City Manager, stated it did not, but this is only for information because it had been asked to be placed on the agenda. Councilman Buquet stated one of the concerns he is hearing from residents is a County-operated as opposed to a City-operated library. Councilwoman Wright stated a good question to ask is why can't the City get more of the money they are entitled to. Jack Lam, City Manager, stated there is no law stating that we are entitled to any of it. Councilwoman Wright felt the City needs to apply more pressure to get more of the funds from the County. Councilman Buquet stated he did not want the situation with the County where the "tail was wagging the dog" on the library issue. Jeff Sceranka gave background information on the "Friends of the Library" and stated they feel they are the pressure to the County. He stated what they want to do is to provide the best possible service to the community. He suggested there be a study on County vs. City operated libraries. He also stated they have not heard of any increase in funds to the City for library services. He further stated he felt there needed to be a tax increase to help library services, but that it should be a City tax, not a County tax. He did not want the County to feel too comfortable with handling the Central Park Library, that this is how he thinks they feel. City Council Minutes January 17, 1990 Page 21 Mayor Stout asked if there was a timeframe for establishing negotiations on the operation portion of this. Jack Lam, City Manager, stated the effort right now is trying to develop the "footprint" to get the grant application in because there is a time limit for that. He stated once that is completed, then the discussions will be initiated with the County. He stated the County initiated discussions, but staff told them they needed to develop the application for the grant first, to get the design process working, and then deal with the operation issue. He stated if the task is to look specifically at developing criteria in a service level for a municipal operation, he suggested a special study be conducted. Mayor Stout stated he sees various options for library operations that are not listed. Mayor Stout pointed out with the name Rancho Cucamonga on the front of our present library, he felt people expect the service to be as good as all of the other services the City provides. He added the City should check into other city operated libraries and see how they are operated. Diane Williams, 7251Amethyst, stated Government Code Section 19106 states that the City would file a notice of intent to withdraw, telling the library district that they no longer want to be part of the County library system. She added the City or library district could cease to participate in the benefits of the County-free library and the property situated in the city or library district shall not be liable to taxes for county-free library purposes. She felt this was something to check into. She further stated she got the impression that this was going to be a County-operated library. Jack Lam, City Manager, stated that staff's present efforts are to encourage as much County spending as possible, to get Rancho Cucamonga's share. He added that if the expectation is to do a feasibility study to develop the levels of service and the cost so that one can determine what is necessary to do a municipal operation, and to use that information to sell the idea in the community of providing additional support to do the facility, he did not feel staff could do that at this time. He stated at this point all staff is doing is the promise of the County's spending of additional funds for library services to the maximum. Councilwoman Wright felt much more information was needed to go forward with the new library. Jack Lam, City Manager, stated that all of the questions that have been brought up tonight cannot be answered at this time because of the need for a complete feasibility study which is beyond the scope of the budget and time frame that we presently have. Councilwoman Wright asked how we could get this information. City Council Minutes January 17, 1990 Page 22 (39) (40) Jack Lam, City Manager, suggested that if it is the Council's direction to pursue the feasibility of a municipal. library operation, they should consider allocating an amount of money in this coming year's budget to do the feasibility study. Councilwoman Wright asked what the time tables were for groundbreaking, etc. Linda Daniels, Deputy City Manager, explained the process, with the library being completed in about three to four years. Jack Lam, City Manager, suggested that if a study is to be pursued it be done shortly after negotiations with the County to see what the City's base is to begin with. He stated if we were to start a municipal operated library today, there are no funds to start this. Linda Daniels, Deputy City Manager, stated there is no action plan to start negotiations with the County for increased levels of service regardless of the Central Park Library, but with Council direction staff can begin doing this and at the same time study the tone or basis of what they are expecting to provide when the new Central Park Library is completed, and would negotiate for added service now and in four years what will they provide for the Central Park Library. Mayor Stout felt we should not commit to the County as to how the library will be operated. ACTION: Report received and filed. I3.

CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION'S PARTICIPATION IN MEETING WITH THE UNDERSHERIFF (Oral Report) (0701.-01 COMMISSION) (1301-00 SHERIFF) Mayor Stout stated he put this on the agenda because he felt it would be a good idea for the Public Safety Commission to be involved in this meeting. Councilman Buquet stated he felt it should be left at a Council level, but felt the Commission should be advised of what happened at the meeting. Mayor Stout suggested they be given a notice of the meeting because he did not feel they were aware of it, but that the Council would have the discussion and make the decisions. Councilman Alexander felt the Public Safety Commission did know about the meeting and stated he agreed with Councilman Buquet. ACTION: The meeting to only include the City Council. I7.

Addressing the City Council was: Jan Wilder, 10109 Stratton Court, stated she did not feel staff was keeping their promise as far as getting certain information to the homeowners. She added work is still not being completed as it should. She also expressed her concerns with the open septic tanks.

Rick Gomez, Community Development Director, stated he has met with Senator Ayala's office and that they would be working with the City on the problems it is having with Nordic Development. Councilman Buquet stated the City of Chino is experiencing some problems with Nordic, and that Rancho Cucamonga should keep in contact with them.
