The City Council subsequently chose not to acquire the latter parcel and the appli- cant is requesting a revision in the precise plan to allow development of the property. Mr. Peterson added that the revised precise plan proposes thirteen new residential lots on 4.6 acres and two small open space lots and that the revision of the overall precise plan will result in 127 residential lots on 73.4 acres. The change in environmental impact has been assessed by the City and the Planning Commis- sion adopted the final Environmental Impact Report on June 26, 1974. Sewer lift station Mr. Peterson explained that the thirteen lots are too low to drain by the existing sewer, so a temporary lift station has been proposed to provide service to this tract. ~.

Report accepted It was moved by Councilman Scott and seconded by Councilman Hyde that the report of the Director of Parks and Recreation be accepted.

FAU funds for this project would amount to $315,000 and would, in his opinion, justify the delay in completing the project providing there are no other insurmountable difficulties. Mr. Cole added that if in the processing of the EPA permit the cost of the project is found to be beyond the means of the City, he would then recommend proceeding with the project without FAU funding.

ESTIMATE FOR NEW CHULA VISTA ANIMAL SHELTER AND AUTHORIZING THE ARCHITECT TO PROCEED WITH PHASE II - PRELIMINARY PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS Joe Colgan Mr. Colgan, representing the architects for Colgan-Smith Architects the project, presented slides of renderings of the proposed facility. He mentioned such points as (1) the outdoor patio which could be used as an outdoor clinic if desired; (2) the multipurpose room in the office building which could be used as indoor clinic space; (3) the City's re- sponsibility of providing a landscape plan for the shelter (Mr. Colgan's idea for landscaping would be that the area toward the road and around the parking lot and the four parts of the buildings could be landscaped with some low maintenance landscaping and a few trees; the slope towards the west side of the kennel and the rear of the kennel could be left in natural vegetation, requiring low maintenance.); (4) floor plans of the buildings; (5) purpose of the freezer - storage of animal carcasses; (6) weather shades - perhaps canvas awnings - for weather protection and color to the building; (7) flexibility of the plan at this stage; (8) hot water radiant heat in floor slab to provide warmth for the animals in cold weather - the facility is not completely enclosed; (9) the arrangement of the kennels is fairly standard; (10) corrugated material for roof - probably metal; (11) increase in price for total enclosure would be approxi- mately 35%. Council discussion Discussion was held during which the Council directed several questions to Mr. Colgan, the Director of Public Works and the City Manager. Points raised and answers desired by Council were: 1. How near to a residential area could the facility safely be located due to the sound carried; what would the sound at- tenuation be? Would the corrugated material used add to the noise problem? 2. What portion of the facility would be used for animals; what portion for City personnel? How much is being expended for each? {Mr. Colgan did explain that the kennels are approximately 4,000 square feet, the service area comprises about 800 square feet and the office area about 1,200 square feet. He explained the kennels as costing about $250 each cage.) City Council Meeting 12 July 16, 1974 3. Need for multipurpose room and kitchen area. (Mr. Colgan explained that the multipurpose room could be used for clinic purposes if desired.) What is the just- ification for the size of the multi- purpose room, kitchen and public area? Is the administrative area overbuilt? 4. How many years can the City expect usage out of the facility? What is the projected useful life, other than normal maintenance? In answer to Councilman Hyde's inquiry as to State laws relative to animal facilities, Mr. Colgan remarked that there is a State law which requires that animals be protected from the sound of the euthanasic chambers. Zoning Director of Public Works Cole stated that the zoning across the street from the proposed facility is "industrial" and the zoning in the County is "agricultural." Most likely this facility would come in under "industrial" zoning, therefore he anticipates no problem with proximity of residential areas. Motion to continue item It was moved by Councilman Egdahl and seconded by Councilman Scott that this item be con- tinued. Councilman Hyde asked that a report be re- ceived on the justification of the size of the kitchen, multipurpose room and public area of the facility as presently designed. Councilman Hobel asked that more information be presented in regard to sound attenuation. Councilman Egdahl indicated that the first week in August (August 6) be the date certain to which this item be continued; Councilman Scott (the second to the motion) agreed. Councilman Hyde asked that alternatives for funding of the facility be included. Motion carried The motion to continue this item, incorporating the suggestions as made by Councilmembers, carried by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Councilmen Egdahl, Scott, Hobel, Hyde Noes: Mayor Hamilton Absent: None MAYOR'S REPORT EXECUTIVE SESSION It was moved by Mayor Hamilton, seconded by Councilman Scott and unanimously carried that the Council recess to Executive Session at the end of the meeting for personnel reasons.

City Council Meeting 13 July 16, 1974 This would give the Council the opportunity to review the agenda material and receive answers from staff prior to the Council meeting. Motion to hold Agenda It was moved by Mayor ttamilton and seconded Meetings by Councilman Hyde that Agenda Meetings be held on Monday evenings at 7:00 p.m. for a trial period of six weeks, after which time a determination would be made as to whether these meetings should be continued. Councilman Scott indicated that discussions held and questions asked at Council meetings are of benefit to the public and the elimina- tion of these by taking care of them prior to the meeting would be unfair to the public.

INTERSTATE 5 LANE Councilman Scott discussed the problem on REDUCTION Interstate S freeway where it goes from four lanes to three lanes.

City Council Meeting 14 July 16, 1974 LISTING OF CANDIDATES Councilman Scott commented on discussions ON BALLOTS being held in San Diego on listing candidates' names on the ballot by random as opposed to the present method (incumbents first, then alphabetically).

The Councilmembers concurred that this should be brought back the first week in August (August 6) at the time the proposed changes to the Chula Vista Election Ordinance are to be considered. Motion carried The motion to draft an ordinance to be brought back at the meeting of August 6, 1974 carried unanimously. OPEN SPACE DISTRICTS It was moved by Councilman Ilyde, seconded by Councilman Hobel and unanimously carried that the staff, at their earliest convenience, give a report to the Council on the experience had to date with the Open Space Districts already created.

Motion for report It was moved by Councilman Hyde, seconded by Mayor Hamilton and unanimously carried that a report be presented to the Council on this matter within a month.

He asked if it might be possible for the City to contact its legislators to see if that type of program could be put into effect in Chula Vista- Motion to contact It was moved by Councilman Egdahl, seconded legislators by Councilman Hyde and unanimously carried that the legislators on the State level representing the Chula Vista area be written and encouraged to initiate legislation to adopt the same type of policy in effect in the State of Oregon relating to canned beverages.
