C. COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC
Councilwoman Brown read a letter from Chuck Haynes, President of the Caryn
Homeowners Association for the record.
"November 14, 1989
Captain Gary (sic) Gilmore
Sheriff's Office
Rancho Cucamonga
Captain Gilmore:
I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to you and Detective
Emerson for the services of my helath (sic), security and well being when I went
to San Bernardino before the County Board of Supervisors. I had passed off the
call threatening my life as some crank call. After talking to you and
Councilwoman Deborah Brown I was convinced this may be more that (sic) an angry
caller.
Detective Emerson made sure every possible security measure was taken for my
safety. Not only was he proffesional (sic), he made sure I was as relaxed as
possible. During the entire day I was never out of his sight. He was constantly
on the move watching for any possibility that might present itself. Detective
Emerson was polite, sincere, intellegent (sic) and undaunted in his duties. I
felt more like I had a friend with me that day.
My hat goes off to the fine law enforcement agents of the Rancho Cucamonga
Sheriff's Department. It's too bad we wait for an opportunity like this before
we express our appreciation. I was relieved and thankful that you considered and
offered your services. Again, my thanks and appreciation.
Chuck Haynes, President
Caryn Homeowners Organization

Councilwoman Wright stated the reason she asked for this particular item to be
pulled is because they are asking for a six month extension, and asked if they
would be allowed to occupy these units before they have completed all of the work
on Baker or Foothill.
Russ Maguire, City Engineer, stated that basically they get no occupancy until
they can prove they have reasonable and safe access to the site. Once they have
done this, then occupancy is released proportionally to completion up to 95%, at
which point it is held until Council accepts the tract. He further stated that
most of these extensions, when it includes landscaping, also include anywhere
from a one to three month landscape establishment period.
City Council Minutes
November 15, 1989
Page 9
Councilwoman Wright stated that on this one specifically they are asking for an
extension on the sidewalk and landscaping on Foothill as well as Baker, and
stated that it has been her experience throughout construction that they have not
maintained adequate signal men or whatever is needed during the construction
phase. She asked if we are obligated by law to grant the extension.
Russ Maguire, City Engineer, stated the City is not obligated to grant the
extension, but stated if we do not grant it, what will happen is the contractor
will be in violation of the agreement, and that the City's only option is to not
force completion, but take them into court and have the bonding company complete
the project, which usually takes longer. He stated if Councilwoman Wright feels
uncomfortable with this, they can be granted only three months and then come back
again.
Councilman Alexander stated he agreed with Councilwoman Wright as it relates to
safety and access, and that even though the extension might be granted, he felt
no form of occupancy has to be granted until such time as all safety issues
relating to access are completed, and asked if this was correct.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated that if the Council wants to come back and
amend the agreement this can be done.
Councilwoman Wright stated this is not her only concern, and stated that this
major corner is almost completed and to sit like this for six months would create
an eyesore.
Russ Maguire, City Engineer, stated the Council could take a minute action
directing staff to consider the completion of frontage improvements on Foothill
and Baker, the safety issue, and that this be applied to withhold any occupancy.
Councilwoman Wright stated she is also concerned that the site sits uncompleted
and asked if they would have to keep progressing over the six month period.
Russ Maguire, City Engineer, stated he did not know of any vehicle other than
saying you can't move anyone in.
Councilwoman Brown stated there are two improvement agreement extensions on the
agenda for Nordic, and that the Council knew what kind of problems the City was
having with them.
Councilman Buquet asked if there was a way to express to the contractor the
concerns that the Council has.
Russ Maguire, City Engineer, stated that staff needs some kind of leverage of "no
occupancies" by minute action.
Councilwoman Wright stated that would be her motion, and asked if they could
reconsider Nordic if this is voted in the affirmative.
City Council Minutes
November 15, 1989
Page 10
James Markman, City Attorney, stated they could reconsider it if they wanted to
bring it up.
Mayor Stout said he agrees with the safety issues on Baker and Foothill, and felt
he could justify the holding of occupancies, but had concerns about rushing the
landscaping issue too much and not getting a quality job.
Councilman Buquet felt staff should be able to do whatever is necessary to get
the job done.
MOTION= Moved by Wright, seconded by Buquet to approve the extension with the
proviso that no occupancy be allowed until the infrastructure on Baker and
Foothill is complete with an appropriate percentage of occupancies to be
released, which is to be determined by staff, with no occupancy allowed beyond
that until the landscaping is complete on the two perimeter streets. Motion
carried unanimously, 5-0.
, , , , ,
Councilwoman Wright asked that Item D10 be reconsidered if staff felt it should
be along with any others.
Councilman Buquet felt this should be looked at by legal counsel before the
Council does any further reconsiderations.

presented by Brett Hornet, Associate Planner. (0203-05 TVCP AMEN)
Councilwoman Brown stated that in the staff report it notes that one of the parks
had been deleted because the difference had been taken up by the other two parks,
which were water retention basins at one time, and asked if that had already been
decided prior to the deletion. She felt this had been addressed one year ago,
and it was not barring any deletion of any park in the future.
City Council Minutes
November 15, 1989
Page 15
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated that the park issue and the retention basin
issue were discussed and that this amendment is an administrative update to
actually catch up with some of those actions that were taken in the past, and
stated this is the formal action to put it back in the community plan as it is
today.
Councilwoman Brown stated her question is that the decision to make the parks the
acreage they are was not dependent upon deleting a park a year and a half later,
and asked if this was the case, or did we know a year and a half ago that
Etiwanda School District was not going to need the school facilities.
Brad Bullet, City Planner, stated he thought it was over a year and a half ago
that the City knew the Jr. High would not be there, nor did they need the
elementary school sites.
Councilwoman Brown stated she knew about the Jr. High, that they had swapped that
land quite awhile ago, but that she was talking about the other piece.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated Dan Coleman, Principal Planner, is nodding his
head that this was correct, that we did know a year and a half ago about the
elementary school also.
Councilwoman Brown asked if this was in line with City standards or the
Development Agreement.
Joe Schultz, Community Services Manager, stated this is in line with the
Development Agreement.
Councilwoman Brown asked if they could apply new conditions to an already
existing Development Agreement to make it consistent with City standards.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated this could be done if the developer agreed
with it.
Mayor Stout stated we are forcing Lewis Homes to bring their plan in compliance
with a decision that was already made in the past.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated we have requested that they comply and that
they are doing this.
Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council
were:
Don Thompson, Lewis Homes, clarified the park acreage issue and felt this
amendment to the Tetra Vista Community Plan was a "housekeeping" item. He
referred to Item I and stated this was not one of their favorite items,
but that they do not have any objection to this. Mr. Thompson said Lewis
Homes does not want to donate more park land. He informed the Council
what their plans were to upgrade Terra Vista Planned Community.

Jim Frost, City Treasurer, gave background on the established Tetra Vista
Community Plan and did not feel there should be any compromise with the
standards set for Terra Vista.
There being no further response, the public hearing was closed.
Councilwoman Brown stated she realizes that Tetra Vista is a very nicely planned
community, but felt she and the entire City Council were concerned about the park
land standards.

Mayor Stout stated the reason this is on the agenda was because there are more
people interested in being on this Subcommittee than there are positions
available.
Councilwoman Brown stated she would like to serve ae an alternate because she
already serves on other Solid Waste Committees.
Councilman Buquet felt because of the transition he would like to be on this
Subcommittee.
Councilman Alexander suggested the Subcommittee consist of Councilmembers Wright
and Buquet, with Councilwoman Brown as the alternate.
Councilwoman Brown felt she has put a lot of time into this issue and she would
like to be part of the Subcommittee. She did not know why Councilman Buquet was
interested in this now, because he did not bring anything up at the previous
meeting.
Councilman Buquet stated he was only on one Subcommittee and that was the
Citizens Advisory Commission. He stated he has not complained about this and
would like to be on this Subcommittee.
Councilwoman Wright stated she did not want to insist on being on this
Subcommittee, and felt drawing straws was the way to go.

Mayor Stout asked if a station was in Rancho Cucamonga, would there be money
included for infrastructure improvements because of the increased traffic.
Mr. Taylor felt there would be.
Mayor Stout asked if this included parking structures.
Mr. Taylor stated yes.
Councilwoman Brown stated the reason she had this put on the agenda was for
interlocking commuter rails. She felt we needed to address what traffic impacts
this might have since Measure I was passed. She felt if this was in Ontario,
Rancho Cucamonga would not get to vote on it and felt Rancho Cucamonga should
look at this and stay involved.
Mayor Stout felt the City should design where they want it to be located.
Councilman Buquet felt Rancho Cucamonga should get more information on this
before we decide what our position is on it.
Mr. Taylor stated he would keep the City informed.

by Russ Maguire, City Engineer.
Councilman Alexander stated with parking on both sides of a street that is 36
feet curb to curb, the City is to have 26 feet clearance. He felt this was
needed so emergency apparatus could meet their standards.
Chief Lloyd Almarid, Fire District, explained the necessary access requirements
and why it was needed. He referred to his handout on emergency access in
residential tracts.

are 36 feet wide.

I6. REPORT ON HOUSE AND BUILDING ADDRESSING PROCEDURE Staff report presented
by Jerry Grant, Building Official. (0807-01 CODE BLDG)
Mayor Stout stated that up until recently, the City did not put address numbers
on street signs. He felt some kind of method should be developed so that
neighborhoods can be better identified. He did not feel Rancho Cucamonga's
numbering system was very well planned out. He felt numbers should be put on
street signs, especially along Base Line.
Councilman Buquet felt we also need a better marking system and that we should
get street signs up that have come down for whatever reason.
Mayor Stout asked for this to go to the Community Development Department, Public
Safety Commission, Sheriff's Department and Fire Department for investigation.
Councilman Buquet felt there should be a consistent place for the addresses to
go on buildings. He felt painting curbs was a good idea, but that the placement
was also important.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated staff will look into it and come back with a
report.

Report to come back to Council.

I8. ANNEXATION DISCUSSION - A discuseion to develop a resolution of intent to
annex the City's Sphere of Influence. (Oral Report) (0702-02 ANNEX)
Councilwoman Brown stated that it appears there is support now by the County to
annex the sphere. She stated some of the concern was if the City was to go ahead
with a Resolution of Intent to Annex, that those people already in the process
could drop tomorrow and apply with the County, and if this were to ever go
through, they would fall back because they applied before the annexation took
place. She asked James Markman, City Attorney, that if there was a vote to move
forward with annexation, could there also be a motion to ask the County to put
some kind of a hold or whatever on the parcels up there until (as Mr. Walker
suggested) the County and City staff got together to work out a preannexation,
prezoning of that sphere.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated he did not know what the County would do.
He suggested that the City ask the County to apply City standards in the interim.
Mayor Stout stated he and Councilman Buquet would be meeting with Supervisor
Mikels, but felt there should be a position paper written from the City of Rancho
Cucamonga to the Board of Supervisors telling them exactly what the City would
like to happen. He felt the City should be on record as to what it wants,
because he has heard from other sources the City has never told them this.
Councilman Buquet agreed that we should correspond with them about this.
Mayor Stout suggested the following be related to the County: 1) that the City
wants the Sphere of Influence area to have City standards adopted per their own
general plan; 2) request annexation of all County areas in the sphere; and 3)
request from them that the City process all development through the sphere area.
He added he would like to do this if the Council concurred.
Councilwoman Wright stated that she wanted it to be known, after reading today's
newspaper, that the City has been fighting the issue of annexing the sphere and
has been doing everything possible to complete the annexation. She asked that
it be put on the record with an answer by the City Manager that it has in the
past been the intent and direction of the City Council that the City annexes, and
do everything possible to annex the sphere, and asked if staff has taken that
direction to do everything possible to complete the annexation of the sphere.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated yes.
Councilwoman Wright clarified if the developer calls the shots as far as being
annexed into the City, that if he does not want to be annexed, it does not occur.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated that is correct because there is a requirement
for over 51% of the assessed valuation to concur with the annexation, and stated
that at this point in time, there is no formula that would allow any of that
property to be annexed into the City.

City Council Minutes

Councilman Buquet added that part of the problem is that there has not been the
opening from the County.
Councilwoman Brown stated she was surprised to hear that the City had not done
anything to annex the County Flood Control area since this was one of the first
things she had worked on after being elected.
Mayor Stout stated it should be included that the City has always been working
on the annexation in the letter to the County. He further asked if this had been
annexed into the City some time back, could this have stopped the Rock Crusher?
James Markman, City Attorney, stated no.
The City Council concurred with Mayor Stout's suggestion regarding the letter to
the County.
Mayor Stout stated he would work with staff on the preparation of the letter.
Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public input. Addressing the City Council
were:
Gerald Recon, Caryn Homeowner's Association, stated their association
commends the City in moving ahead with annexing this land. He stated they
would like for the City to consider 3 to 4 homes per acre and would like
to go on record with this request. He added he would like to go on record
asking that the Chaffey Regional Park be put back in the master plan. He
further added he appreciated that it is difficult at times to get things
accomplished through the City, but felt it was worthwhile for the City to
do what they do.
Councilwoman Wright stated to Mr. Recon that the City has not let the annexation
issue lay idle, and that the City has done everything possible to get the
annexation through.
Mark Gutglueck, resident of Rancho Cucamonga, expressed that at some of
the workshops and meetings regarding this issue, he felt citizens were not
allowed to attend or give input.
Mayor Stout asked Mr. Gutglueck if he had any proof of his charges.
Mr. Gutglueck said he was excluded from one of the meetings held in April,
1988 which included Mr. DiIorio and Mr. Rizzo, several citizens and a
couple staff members. He stated he told the group he was from the press
and was told they would cancel the meeting if he insisted on being
present.
Mayor Stout asked Brad Bullet, City Planner, if he knew of any such meeting.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated no.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated that if he is talking about a meeting where
staff is working with developers and their staffs, and that if there are not

November 15, 1989
Page 23
three Councilmembers, then it is common not to have the press there while those
types of agreements are negotiated. He stated this is not what he exactly called
a community workshop.
Councilman Buquet stated that regardless of what happens in a meeting, a majority
of the City Council would have to vote on an issue that was actually to take
place.
Mr. Gutglueck added he would like to see what will happen to this property
once it is annexed and felt the people should know this. He stated he did
not want there to be thousands of units on this property.
There being no further input, the public hearing was closed.
ACTION: Letter to go to the County regarding annexation of property as outlined
by Mayor Stout above.

I9. DISCUSSION ON UPCOMING LAFCO HEARING ON THE PRESERVATION OF THE
AGRICULTURAL PRESERVE AS IT RELATES TO THE EFFORTS OF THE AOMP AND THE COUNTY-
WIDE OPEN SPACE STUDY RECENTLY INITIATED BY THE COUNTY (Oral Report) Staff
report presented by Councilwoman Brown, who stated that this was put on the
agenda because on November 29, 1989, LAFCO will be hearing the debate of the
preservation of the Agricultural Preserve. She stated she felt the Council
should encourage LAFCO to keep their word that they will at least keep the ten
year window before they open it up to the City of Ontario to cement over. She
added this is nothing more than to suppert this negotiation through a letter from
the Mayor. (1503-01 LAFCO)
Councilman Buquet stated he did not have enough background information on it to
do anything tonight.
Mayor Stout asked if this could be heard at the November 28 meeting so written
information could be provided about this issue.
ACTION: Item to be placed on the November 28 agenda.
