10569 AND TRACT 9584-1 - DEER CREEK AND WILLIAM LYON CObfPANY. Staff report was
presented by Lloyd Hubbs.
Mr. Hubbs stated that since the last meeting staff had met with develooers of
Deer Creek. Some changes had been suggested which were as follows:
1. Assessments ~ormally take effect immediately. However, there was a potential
that there would be assessments on the property prior to any construction.
In order to mitigate the concern, there was a provision added to the
Resolution which states that assessments will not be levied until 60% of
the tract had been occupied.
2. In developments where a homeowners association would be maintaining the
parkway areas that would be included in the assessment district, it was
felt that there should be some provision to give credit for that maintenance.
This change is reflected in the Engineer's Report.
Mayor Schlosser opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing Council was:
-Tony Zenz, representing Deer Creek Company. They were the petitioners who
had previously opposed the action. He stated that they had received the
proper mailed notice. On behalf of the builder, William Grigsby, they are
approving the staff's recommendation for the formation of the assessment
district. It was their request, however, that the Engineer's Report be
made a part of the Resolution.
-Roy Schauben,' Deer Creek Association treasurer. Ex,ressed ooposition to this
tax. Felt it was in opoosition to the desires of the Deo~le when they oassed
Proposition 13.
There being no further public response, the Mayor closed the public hearing.
Councilman Mikels asked what the aoproximate percentage of decrease in assessment
that would otherwise have been levied. Mr. Hubbs said they had not calculated this
yet, but they would apply whatever the rate was (approximately 30 cent ,er square
foot) times the square footage of the area; then decrease the assessments by that
amount.
Mr. Zenz pointed out that this assessment would be on top of the present assess-
ment that the new homeowers would be paying.
Motion: Moved by Palombo, seconded by B~idge to approve and adopt Resolution
No. 81-141 and to waive the entire reading. Motion carried unanimously 5-0.

interim facilities which they recommend as $1100 or $550 for multi-family units or
mobile homes with two bedrooms or more.
Mayor Schlosser opened the meeting for public input. Addressing Council were:
-Sharon Romero asked why the multi-family units were one half the amount.
Mr. Lam stated that staff had done a survey and found consistently that
mobile homes and multi-family units ~roduced one half the amount of children
as single family units. We have agreements with the school districts that
when this situation changes then changes in the ordinance would be introduced
to reflect such changes.
-Ken Willis, Building Industry Association, stated they neither opposed or
endorsed the fee, but they did appreciate the fact that there was a good deal
of candor by the city staff and school districts in establishing the fee.
He said basically the fee which is proposed would cover inflationary costs
as they understand them.
Mr. Willis did state that they have not had the privilege of reading the
required annual statements of collections and expenditures of the fees. He
requested that they receive copies of these reports.
Mr. Willis also asked whether or not the Alta Loma District received its
Phase III grant monies from the State Allocation Board under the LeRoy Green
School Purchase Act. If so, on what date. Also, has the Charley High School
District received an indication as to what date they may receive such funds
from the same Board and under the same law.

whether we would want to require a hooku~ fee to existing residences for such
cosmetic changes to the city.

if staff could develop some projections based on the revised revenue outlook to see
if there isn't some way these costs could be mitigated.

not been putting their investments in high yield short terra investments such

indeptendent analysis conducted of such policies.

Mayor Schlosser asked for an update on the Etiwanda Specific Plan.
Councilman Frost reported that there was a town meeting last evening which was
requested by the Specific Plan Advisory Committee. The significant factor which
he preceives as the direction from Council that we use the existing General Plan
as a starting point subject to minor refinement and adjustment as opposed to
starting from scratch.
Jack Lam stated in his conversations with residents that there is a great deal of
concern that this is another major rehash of items which have been discussed before.
He said there seems to be a major blockage in moving ahead and we would ~robably
move ahead better if there was a solid understanding that the specific p]~n process
is one that must be consistent with the adopted general plan. This is n~ot to be a
wholesale chucking of the General Plan.
Councilman Frost requested that both he and Jack receive some firm Council direction.
Mayor Schlosser said he had attended the meeting last evening. What the people
wanted was something specific -- something they could point to and discuss.
Councilman Bridge stated he had attended the two other meetings. He said this had
been very slow in moving ahead. He felt very strongly that the professional planners
on staff must come forward with some imaginative options to develop that community.
He said he sat during the meetings frustrated as do the residents and land owners
since none know about planning and how to develop that community to its full potential.
We do know it must be consistent with the general plan.
Councilman Mikels concurred. He said to focus the discussion, the people needed
concrete alternatives, and that the money was budgeted for the staff for the project~
they are the professional staff to provide this kind of information to the committee
Councilman Bridge encouraged Council whenever possible to sit in on these meetings.
6. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORTS. Mr. Hobson said he had nothing except to request an
executive session to discuss pending litigation.
7. ADJOURNMENT. Motion: Moved by Palombo, seconded by Mikels to adjourn to a
Redevelopment meeting. Following the Redevelopment meeting, Council to adjourn
to an executive session not to reconvene. Motion carried unanimously 5-0. Meeting
adjourned at 9:35 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Deputy City Clerk
