Staff report presented by Kirt Court, Associate Planner. Mayor Alexander stated he has heard that there has been conversation between the parties to try to resolve this and added he felt there has to be "give and take" between everyone. He asked if all involved would consider a continuance to see if they can work things out. The appellants stated they are willing to do this. Councilmember Williams asked if the developer is willing to continue the matter. Forecast Corporation stated they are not willing to continue this. Councilmember Williams stated their comments and attitude concern her. Mayor Alexander opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council were: Danny Sandoval, Chervill Street, felt this project would affect everyone's financial investment by lowering their property values. He felt the developers should be required to acquire their properties before they get the final approval for this development. He stated if the developer is unwilling to offer a reasonable price so they can relocate before construction, he felt they should be required to meet certain conditions of approval to protect them. He stated these conditions are: 1) change the zoning to match surrounding medium density zoning so they are no longer surrounded on three and-a-half sides by medium density; 2) require a fifteen foot easement on Forecast property at the south side of Chervill at Etiwanda Avenue to widen Chervill Street to meet fire access standards and to allow proper ingress and egress from their surrounding properties to accommodate traffic of a future higher density development; 3) according to California State law they need to have a large enough easement on the west end of Chervill Street for proper turn around of service vehicles, emergency vehicles, guests, etc. For safety reasons, building a wall that blocks their access to this easement would force vehicles to back up the entire length of the 700' road out onto Etiwanda Avenue. He stated they request the City require the developer to set the perimeter block wall back 30' from its proposed location at the west end of Chervill Street to allow for safe and adequate turn-around. He stated they would go through the courts to get this if necessary; and 4) He added at the public hearing of January 23, 2002, it was agreed upon by the Planning Commission and Mr. Previty that all utilities would be stubbed out to a maximum density of fourteen units per acre at Forecast expense with no need for reimbursement by the residents or the City at both the Southern portion of their properties City Council Minutes March 6, 2002 Page 8 and the Northwestern corner of their adjacent properties where they showed just water and sewer. He stated after reading the Resolution and hearing information tonight, he felt this was not the case. He stated he did not feel that was the intention of the Planning Commission. He felt this should be postponed so they can talk to all the City Council members. He felt their rights should be protected. Don Glover felt it was the City Council's duty to look into this before today. He stated he does not agree with having to share his driveway with 340 apartments. He added he would not accept $250,000 for his house offered by Mr. Previty. Wes LeNier representing himself and Gail Timm, stated he concurred with everything his neighbors stated. He felt more conversation was needed to get this resolved. He felt Forecast should give up about fifteen feet of easement for the driveways. He also stated there are Redtail Hawks n the Eucalyptus Trees by them. Mr. Previty stated if the Council wants them to continue this for two weeks, he will do that. He stated are willing to continue this for two more weeks. He stated he is sorry he was shod with Councilmember Williams. Councilmember Williams stated if they own all of the property it would be less of a headache and hoped they realize there is a cost to do this. Mayor Alexander stated the residents should have known more about this. He hoped this would get continued. He stated the developer has worked very hard on this, but understands what the property owners are saying also. Councilmember Biane stated he hoped they can talk about this further over the next couple weeks and resolve things. Councilmember Dutton stated he has been out to the project site and talked to the property owners. He stated he hoped they can come to some agreement by continuing this matter, but isn't sure it will be productive if it is continued. He stated his thought was if the concern is that people are getting paid fair compensation, it was suggested by one of the property owners that the Eminent Domain process be used to acquire the property. He stated this way the City would be in control of making sure there is a fair and impartial appraisal done on the property. He stated at least the property owners would know they got a fair deal. Councilmember Williams inquired about the condemnation process. James Markman, City Attorney, stated first there would have to be a public purpose to even commence a condemnation proceeding. He stated the City can't make an offer to buy a piece of property in eminent domain until an appraisal has been done on the property. He added that would have to be an appraiser that the City would choose that would be MAI and very qualified to come up with a fair market value number. He stated the Council would have to review his work and establish the fair market value based on the appraisal, and then make an offer to that property owner for no less than that fair market value number. He stated the owner could agree or not agree and negotiate or not negotiate. If that is not successful, then the Council would have to set a necessity hearing to proceed the condemnation and show the need for public necessity of taking the property. He stated if that failed there would be a legal proceeding for a court or jury trial to settle this. Councilmember Dutton suggested that staff get the Council the costs for all of the condemnation process in case they can't come up with an agreement. Brad Bullet, City Planner, stated he has heard the property closest to Etiwanda does not want to sell. Councilmember Williams felt staff should have direct conversation with the property owner. City Council Minutes March 6, 2002 Page 9 Councilmember Curatalo stated she hopes this can be continued for two weeks so things can be worked out.
