Councilmember Buquet stated he would like to see some kind of turf block access
established for emergency vehicles so that it could be integrated into the
landscaping and design to make it compatible with what is proposed.
Councilmember Wright asked if the circulation pattern has not been approved
would this plan tie the City's hands as to what that circulation pattern would
be.
Walt Stickney, Associate Engineer, stated no, that this is for informational
purposes only and is only a preliminary plan. He stated staff is still looking
at other circulation plans, and this is very preliminary. Councilmember Buquet
stated he would like to see this interconnect with other streets in that area.
Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council
were=
Cynthia Dunlap, Cottonwood, stated there is a road maintenance agreement
that she wanted the City Council to be made aware of. She stated they do
not want the street to go through and that was also the opinion of her
other neighbors. She added they would like this to remain a private
street.
Mayor Stout suggested she and her neighbors be involved with the planning of
this tract.
Ms. Dunlap asked if they could be informed of any future meetings.
Mayor Stout asked Brad Buller, City Planner, to be sure and inform thesepeople
of future meetings.
Clyde Warner, 5819 Beryl, stated there had been a community meeting about
the proposed access, and that there was opposition to this. He stated the
City staff was given the suggestion they go back and meet with the
developer to redesign this. He felt the private street issue should be
considered separately as opposed to it accessing into some other
develo~nent. He also added he did not think communication between the
City and the property owners was very good because he had not been
notified of the meeting tonight.
There being no further response, the public hearing was closed.
Councilmember Buquet felt emergency access was important in this consideration
and whenever there are private street dedications.
Chief Michael, Fire District, stated whenever a street is dedicated as private,
and over 600 feet in length, is when the district requires a secondary access
on cul-de-sacs.
Walt Stickney, Associate Engineer, stated the length of the street is
approximately 650 feet and with the cul-de-sac it would probably Just exceed
600 feet and felt the City was right at the limit.

City Council Minutes
January 2, 1991

Councilmember Alexander stated he did not mean to imply that the Planning
Commission does not work hard when he brought this up. He felt if there were
more members on the Commission, that it might lessen the burden on their time
as it relates to Design Review meetings. He suggested that by having a larger
membership, and considering when there is absenteeism at a meeting with an
important decision being made, it might be beneficial to have more members to
act on these things.
Councilmember Buquet felt the membership should be increased. He felt the
Planning Commission was doing a good job, and with more members it might give
a broader representation. He felt with the responsibility of planning issues
coming up in the future and decisions dealing with the economy, it might not
hurt to have more members to make these important decisions. He felt this would
give an opportunity for some of the excellent people that have been interviewed
to be placed on the Planning Commission. He added he felt it was a strain on
the Planning Commissioners to have to attend all of the Design Review meetings.
Councilmember Wright stated she did not agree with Councilmembers Alexander and
Buquet, although what they were saying made sense. She felt more staff time and
money would be involved if there were more members. She felt with a larger
membership it would take longer to go through a public hearing process by
getting input from all members. She felt the critical years of the City's
planning were in the past, even though there are still important issues coming
before the City. She felt the burden was not that heavy for five members to
handle. She stated she did not feel there was a problem now, so why try to fix
it. She concluded by saying she was opposed to expanding the membership of the
Planning Commission.
Councilmember Williams stated after hearing complaints about the entire planning
process during her campaigning, she would like to see the entire process
reviewed, not just the Planning Commission membership issue. She stated that
by the Planning Commission being made aware there is a problem, they can take
care of it. She felt if after an analysis was completed and it was evident that
seven members were needed, then the City Council could vote on it, but did not
think adding two more people at this time would mitigate the problem.
Mayor Stout stated that after serving on the Planning Commission, he agrees
there are advantages with having more people available for the Design Review
process. He stated he felt the major growth for the City is over, which was
part of the problem in the beginning. He felt the Planning Commission's work
load has decreased now. He con~nended the Planning Commission stating he felt
it was the finest there is. He stated it has been told to the Rancho Cucamonga
City Council that other cities model themselves after Rancho Cucamonga because
they like our planning. He stated he has heard from other developers that they
like the high standards the City has, and would not like to see these
requirements changed. He stated he did not think the membership of the Planning
Commission should increase, and that if a Planning Commissioner has problems
with the system, they should approach someone about it. He concluded by stating
he is not in favor of expanding the membership of the Planning Commission.

MOTION:
members.
Moved by Stout. for th& Planning Con~nission membership to remain at five
Councilmember Alexander $~ated he would'agree to this, but felt that the process
should be evaluated.
Councilmember Buquet etated he did not have a problem with leaving the
membership at f~ve either. 'He suggested that this be left at five people for
two years and then ~eview it because he felt the City now has time to look at
some of these issues. He felt there is still a challenge for the City and that
there are still issues to be considered. He felt time and money should not be
the issue for making a decision, but the City should be dedicated to make sure
the system is efficient.
Mayor Stout suggested the Planning Commission Subcommittee of Councilmembers
Buquet and Wright meet with staff, a Couple members of the Planning Commission
and possibly the building community to examine the process for any improvements.
MOTION= Moved by Stout, seconded by Alexander to leave the Planning Commission
membership at five members, but for a task force (as suggested above) to examine
the entire process. Motion carried unl~nimously, 5-0.

J1. Councilmember Williams asked if there would be a notice in the paper about
the Joint meeting with the Park and Recreation Co~unission to be held on January
9, 1991 inviting people to come and gl~e their comments.
Jack Lam, City.Manager, stated this has robe legally advertised as a public
meeting, but if the Council wishes staff to go ~eyond what is required, they can
do so.
Councilmember Willjams stated she wanted the residents to have the opportunity
to be heard.
Councilmember Wright stated she felt the Council should hear from the residents,
and felt they should not wait until everything has been resolved, but she felt
the intent of this meeting was co~nunication with the Commission. She felt the
Central Park issue should be a separate meeting with the room packed with
residents. She felt Central Park should be discussed with the Commission, and
did not think it should be a closed door meeting, but also felt there should be
a subsequent public hearing.
Councilmember Buquet felt the Central Park issue would ~e discussed from a
workshop perspective. He stated the other open space issue would be a workshop
setting to collectively discuss it to see if the Council was in favor of it or
not. Me felt before the Council got the public involved with this, the Council
needed more answers about the matter.
City Council Minutes
January 2, 1991
Page 11
Jack Lam, City Manager, suggested that the Central Park public hearing be
conducted after the joint meeting with the Park and'Recreation Commission on the
9th, and it could be decided then how they want to proceed with the public
hearing process. He stated staff.had an ad in the newspaper for the open space
issue for the meeting on Januaf~ gth.
J2. Mayor Stout stated that approximately twol~years ago the City Council heard
about a tree replacement prO~ra~II'whereby it ~was stated ~he program would be
computerized. He asked that a report come back on this replacement program.
J3. Mayor Stout suggested a program be developed to retrofit major
thoroughfares with street lighting (safety lighting) because some of the City's
streets are so dark.
J4. Mayor Stout felt the graffiti removal program needed to be updated and
suggested Rancho Cucamonga look at what Fontana has done with their graffiti
program. He added he did not feel'Ythe problem should get out of hand.

K, COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC
Robert Flores, Kernwood Court (top of Haven), stated he has been a
resident of the City for one year and wanted to address the City Council
on an issue that would pertain to new homeowners. He reported about a
fire at his home over'the'Christmas holiday. He stated response time to
this fire was done in a timely manner with the cause due to a building
deficiency of his fireplace. It was Mr. Flores' opinion that proper
inspections were not done on his home and felt there were other homes in
the neighborhood which were missing the same inspections. He reported he
was advised by Mr. Grant and Mr. Martin of the Building and Safety
Division that there were inspections that had been overlooked. He did not
feel his home was safe and asked if there was something the City Council
could do to find out why certain inspections were overlooked.
Mayor Stout asked Mr. Flores what the defect was.
Mr. Flores stated their home is not built on a slab and that the fireplace
was not constructed properly.
Councilmember Buquet suggested that Iiik~ the Nordic Homes, a consultant come in
and inspect this tract in the same manner.
Mrs. Flores asked why seven homes were not inspected properly by City
inspectors.
Councilmember Buquet again suggested that the consultant look at the homes for
further information.
Mayor Stout asked that this come back in two weeks.

citizen does call with a problem,: something. should be done about it.
K3.
Jan Wilder, on Stratton Court, stated she agreed with Councilmember
Alexander that there should be an ~V~stigation done. within the Building

that also has building deficiencies. She stated the contract inspector
the City hired has only been to three homes to conduct inspections within
the Nordic tract.
