Commissioner Fletcher asked to pull the item for discussion. He asked legal counsel to explain the Vacation request more specifically. Steven Flower, Assistant City Attorney said the process for a Vacation is relatively routine and he deferred the question to staff. • • -.Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer explained that when the subdivision was processed, a garage €driveway access directly onto Etiwanda Avenue was not considered a desirable location by staff and therefore a restriction to construct the access there was placed on the project. As the project made its way through the process and after further review, staff noticed the location of the private trail and that a-second access to the private equestrian trail would be needed. He said in the spirit of the Etiwanda Specific Plan and because that driveway was needed for trail purposes, the City decided to vacate its own restriction placed on the construction of that driveway.

Vice Chairman Howdyshell asked for more information with respect to Exhibit B (floor plan) and asked where the games will go. . . Mr. van der Zwaag explained that there will be table top machines; they are small and can sit on tables or on the bar. Chairman Munoz asked if staff contacted the Police Department about the request and if they made the decision that this application request is not a concern. Mr. van der Zwaag confirmed that staff spoke with the PD and they said this business is not on their radar for problems. James Troyer, Planning Director noted that incidents that may not even be attributable to this particular business may be noted on the Police reports. Christina Stewart stated she represents the applicants. She said Mr. van der Zwaag did a great job, and she had nothing to add to the report. Commissioner Oaxaca said he noticed their request to open earlier on Sundays. Ms. Stewart said that is because the games (televised sporting events) usually start at • about 10:00 a.m. Chairman Munoz closed the public hearing. He noted the condition regarding a Security Plan. He asked if that is already in place. Mr. van der Zwaag stated that it is and that the condition was carried forward from their prior approval. Vice Chairman Howdyshell said she thought the hours would be fine. Commissioner Fletcher said the request is minor and that he hopes the additions will help the business succeed. Commissioner Wimberly said the change in hours and an earlier opening on Sundays should help them expand their customer base and that is a good idea. ' Commissioner Oaxaca said the change is not really significant. He noted that he has been there during the day and evening. He commented that it is a family oriented business,sports teams come there, and it appears to be well run. Planning Commission Minutes -4- December 14, 2011 Chairman Munoz agreed.

Mr. van der Zwaag suggested a continuance to unspecified date to allow staff time to re-advertise the item and to forward it to the Design Review Committee.

He noted that additional Grading conditions have been added, are placed before the Commissioners for review, and are attached to the draft Resolution for approval. Chairman Munoz said it was an excellent report as this project proposal has a lot going on. Mr. Grahn added that on the northeast corner of the tract (Lot 6) is where the old Frost General Store was located. He said the Johnston House and office currently located on Lots 15 and16 will be the only structures moved and preserved on Lot 17. He noted the barn, garages and other outbuildings will not be moved. . Chairman Fletcher asked if a Variance would still be needed if the orientation of the house was not accessed off of Etiwanda Avenue. Mr. Grahn stated that it still would have needed the Variance regardless of how it was oriented on the lot.as there is a standard for lot depth in the Etiwanda Specific Plan. Commissioner Oaxaca asked if all the improvements shown on Page 14 for Lot 17 will be made by the applicants. Mr. Grahn said no, the exhibit is only conceptual as what could be. Planning Commission Minutes -6- December 14, 2011 • Commissioner Oaxaca confirmed that just the relocation of the house and office will occur, the developer will place them on a new foundation, they will be re-roofed, utility connections provided and then any future improvements will be on the City. Mr. Grahn stated that is correct. Commissioner Fletcher asked if when the house is moved if it will require some structural improvements. Mr. Grahn said he did not know and deferred the question to the applicant. Vice Chairman Howdyshell said she likes the conceptual plan on Page 14 as it seems consistent with Etiwanda. Mr. Grahn noted that it will also have the same orientation as the Pearson House located to the north. Chairman Munoz opened the public hearing. • Jim Manning, stated he is the applicant. He said he was here 1 year ago with a request from the Etiwanda Historical Society to come up with a better plan to save the Johnston house. He said that plan is before the Commission tonight. He said they (Manning Homes) will move the house and office to a new foundation, address structural issues, and beef it up, create a lot, provide utility connections, re-roof and do the land planning. He said the project will embellish and continue the historic area. He said he agrees with the comments and the staff report. He thanked Mr. Grahn for • • his assistance. Commissioner Fletcher said he likes the conceptual plan and noted that it would be nice if the applicant would provide those improvements like they did at the Toews House. Vice Chairman Howdyshell said in Plan 1-A- bedroom#4 appears to be an attached casita. She said the French doors might not be desirable if "Gramma" lived there. She asked if there is an option if the buyer does not want the French doors. Mr. Manning said they would develop more options. He said the idea was to give access to that room without having to go through the house. Jim Frost presented a historical deed related to the Frost General Store signed in January 1906. He said when the store burned down he understood that all the rubble was pushed into the basement. He said there may be 2 fuel tanks there. He said he plans to start the process for historic designation of that corner of the property although a portion would be underneath a new driveway. He said he is interested in the street names and would appreciate consideration of them. He said the notice for the project never arrived. He said the conceptual plan is far better than expected. Gwynn Frost said the original layout of the house in 1890 was as a duplex which was then converted in 1896. She said on the west side of house was a cool room which she felt was a significant part of the building. She said it was built with thick walls and there is only one other in Etiwanda. She said it is used as an additional fridge. She said this room should be available for the public to see. She would like to know that it is considered and included in some way because this was a typical feature • of houses back then. Mr. Troyer said it could be included with the rehab when the City is able to restore the building. He thought this one will likely disintegrate if moved. Planning Commission Minutes -7- December 14, 2011 Commissioner Fletcher said it looked like a poor addition that occurred later. He said it may have served that purpose but it did not appear original part of home. Richard Heath, 6956 Etiwanda Avenue said he has mixed emotions about the project. He said he is sad to see the grapes go. He asked if the vines could be transplanted to preserve them. He expressed concern about gophers and rodents coming to his house during the grading/development phase and if the builder will handle the abatement. He said with respect to removal of the trees, he would like to be informed which trees behind his house will go. He said some of the Eucalyptus are in rough shape. He said he would like to know the timing for grading and when dirt will be flying. He noted the curb along Etiwanda Avenue is falling apart and he asked if its repair is part of the plan. . He asked if the sidewalk will be asphalt or something else and if there will be a walkway behind his home as he is concerned about people walking behind or through the property. He asked if the homes closest to his lot could be single-story instead of two-story. Mr. Grahn said the trail with a block wall will be constructed along the east property line. He said the homes closest to his lot are two-story homes. Jim Manning said that with respect to the Frost site, he (the developer) is required to have an archeologist on site-through out the process to discover any artifacts. He said if there are fuel tanks on site, they cannot find them, but if they are buried, they will be discovered during grading. He said they will cooperate with the street names. He said they would do their best to mitigate the rodents. He said an arborist looked at the trees and submitted a report. He said they will be replacing the removed trees at a ratio of 3-1. He said he would notify the residents before grading and rebuild the curb. He said the sidewalk will be moved, but he will need to approach the owner to get permission to use 2 more feet of his property to get the sidewalk, the full street street-width and the new curb. He said folks are welcome to take some grape vines to transplant. He said he hopes the timing of the development will be in the spring, but it depends on the economy. He said they are moving I ahead with engineering plans. Commissioner Fletcher asked what is required with respect to archeological finds. Mr. Manning said the grading will be performed with the archaeologist on site. He said they will go down in 6-inch lifts,walk the area and check it after each lift for artifacts until they have gone at least 5 feet down. Chairman Munoz closed the public hearing. Mr. Grahn said the conditions regarding archeological finds should adequately address this concern. He said he was not aware of any tanks being there, but if they are there,they will be discovered. He said with respect to street names; Frost Brothers Court may be considered, but it must meet safety criteria. He said the issue of the cooler will be addressed at the time of preservation. He said the pictures of that room appear to be a precision block. He said it could be restored to look more like the period. He said the grape vines have probably not been irrigated and therefore the older ones may not transplant well. He said people will be allowed to get on-site to obtain the vines. Chairman Munoz asked how will people get notified of that. Mr. Grahn said staff can work with the Historic Society and to let them know. He said the rodent issue will be addressed by Manning Homes and they will let the other owners know about the timing of the development as well. He said the curb improvements will be completed with the tract. Commissioner Fletcher said that if the City agrees with the conceptual plan, it would be nice if they could preserve some of those original vines to be incorporated into that plan. Planning Commission Minutes -8- December 14, 2011 Chairman Munoz noted that it is not Mr. Manning's responsibility to move those nor preserve those vines until that time. Commissioner Fletcher said Mr. Grahn did a good job and it would be nice to work out the street naming that would be acceptable to the Frosts. He said it would also be nice if the City could preserve some vines to move to the new site. He said the tree removal seems acceptable as they will be replaced with healthy ones. Commissioner Wimberly said he has no real issues with the project proposal. He said he worked with the applicant at DRC and agreed the proposal is a real win for the area. He said the applicant worked well with staff and he looks forward to seeing the development. Commissioner Oaxaca thanked the applicant for working on this. He said he went the extra mile to preserve and relocate those buildings. He said this is important to him as he lives close by and he is aware of the historical significance of the site. He said he is hopeful some vines can be preserved • for a nice finishing touch as well as some artifacts from the Frost General Store. He said this project is a new opportunity for historic preservation to occur. Vice Chairman Howdyshell said she is pleased to see this combination of new development and historic preservation. She complimented the applicant for taking care of this and staff did a great job to recognize all the components. She said she wants to be sensitive to Mr. Heath with the development impacts. She said she is looking forward to seeing the,project. - Chairman Munoz gave kudos to all for a great example of partnership between developer, the Historic Society and the City; not long ago this home was slated for demolition and now 4 years later we have a plan to move the home, shore up, reroof, and restore it. This will be a wonderful addition to our City. 'Thanks to Mr. Manning, he was very easy to work with and brought alternate plans. Staff prepared an excellent report and has a great relationship with the applicant. The Johnston home is on its way to resurrection, please keep Mr. Frost.notified of project related items. Commissioner Fletcher added that the Variance makes sense. Motion: Moved by Howdyshell, seconded by Fletcher, to adopt the Resolutions of Approval for Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18819, Development Review DRC2011-00629, Variance DRC2011- 00383 and Tree Removal Permit DRC2011-00638 and to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: FLETCHER, HOWDYSHELL, MUNOZ, OAXACA, WIMBERLY NOES: NONE ABSENT: NONE - carried • DIRECTOR'S REPORTS • K. DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE STATUS REPORT AND REVIEW OF PROPOSED CHANGES James Troyer, Planning Director, gave the staff report and a brief PbwerPoint presentation (copy on file). • Commissioner Fletcher commented on the provisions for subtenant signage. He also asked about hand held human signs. Mr. Troyer said staff is still working on the provisions for subtenant signage and they will at least be able to have one sign regardless of the business square footage as the intent is for large tenants Planning Commission Minutes -9- December 14, 2011 such as the large groceries, banks, etc. He said it is not intended for things such as a mini-mall that would be located inside a major tenant building space. Commissioner Fletcher asked about the provision for subtenants within a four story building. He asked if this is going to be worked out. Mr. Troyer said they are still working on that. Mr. Troyer said they are still working on hand held signs as they are considered non-commercial speech that we have to allow. Steven Flower,Assistant City Attorney said they are a form of non-commercial speech but because they are often found in the public right of way it is altogether a different issue. Commissioner Fletcher commented that they need to be sure they do not block the vehicular line of sight. Commissioner Oaxaca asked with respect to the increase in the number of tenants on monument signs if any increase in size would be given to allow all the tenants space. James Troyer, Planning Director noted that the maximum height is 8 feet so the additional tenant signs are easy to accommodate. He said the name of the center was also part of the previous calculation and now it is not so it actually doubles the number allowed on a single monument. He said we are also looking at how many monument signs are allowed per center and that we may consider more in the future. Commissioner Oaxaca asked if signage on private property was addressed not in terms of smaller campaign signs, but big banners on a house for example. He asked if this could be regulated as a visual nuisance. Mr. Flower said we can limit the size of the sign and that is already covered in the current Code. Chairman Munoz asked about the number of political signs allowed on private property. Mr. Troyer said 1 per parcel is allowed in non-residential zones with a size restriction. Vice Chairman Howdyshell mentioned that she has seen a vehicle with a trailer driving around with billboard mounted on the back of the trailer and sometimes it is parked in a lot for a period of time and then it is moved to another location. Mr. Troyer said this was addressed through the Vehicle Code. He said the City also changed the Municipal Code so that now the City has the right to enforce the Vehicle Code. Commissioner Fletcher mentioned that some businesses have vans covered with signage that is parked in their own lot. He said this can be a sensitive issue when a large vendor has many decorated vans sitting in their lot but a small business had a van and they were notified that it was a violation. Mr. Troyer said this concern also comes up in residential areas in that someone may have a home office and their vehicle has signage on it. He said the City will not enforce it if it is not a commercial vehicle. Mr. Flower said we are mainly looking at parked off-site signs or the case of'wrapped'vehicles that are being parked somewhere or when a trailer is parked somewhere; then it becomes an off-site sign and that is what the City is enforcing. Planning Commission Minutes -10- December 14, 2011 The secretary received and filed the report. PUBLIC COMMENTS None RRf # # COMMISSION BUSINESS AND COMMENTS Chairman Munoz welcomed Desiree Lawson, Office Specialist II to the Planning Department. He said she is joining an excellent team and she is joining an excellent assistant to the Director. Commissioner Wimberly noted the Farrell's grand opening and said it is a nice place. James Troyer, Planning Director said the DRC did a great job and helped find the perfect compromise for the design of the exterior of the building. Chairman Munoz said the DRC was pleased with the result and the reward is that the parking lot at Terra Vista is really busy. He also noted that Hobby Lobby is also contributing to that. He offered kudos to all-there was teamwork between the staff and the design team from Farrell's. Vice Chairman Howdyshell noted that both entities created many jobs.
