An additional 2.4 acres located south of Otay Lakes Road, in the County, are also proposed for prezoning to R-E-P. This zoning is requested so that the applicant may reduce the lot sizes below the 20,000 square foot minimum while still remaining within the overall density permitted by the R-E zone. Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was opened. City Council Meeting 3 February 5, 1974 Frank Sarason Mr, Sarason remarked that he was President of 2375 Acacia Avenue the Long Canyon Home Association. He spoke against the development £or the following rea- sons: el) the plan does not provide for ad- equate roads for fire and pelice vehicles; (2) wants te keep the area a green belt; (3) cencerned about the density factor - 7,600 square foot lots and the lots on Acacia are 20,000 square £eet or more; (4) this develop- ment will start a precedent of high density in this area; (5) there are two major problems that need solving first - drainage and traffic; (6) Acacia cannot be widened beyond its 50' width now without causing major problems; (7) wants to prevent raping of the hillsides; (8) strive to maintain the rural environment; (9) a complete study should be made of the entire Long Canyon area before any further developments. Noel Smith Mr. Smith stated he was President of the Bel 1008 Calle Mesita Aire Homeowners Association. Tentative map to be Mayor Hamilton declared that the matter of the discussed tentative map will also be heard at this time, and asked Planning Director Peterson to make his presentation before hearing any further testimony from the audience. Presentation by Mr. Peterson submitted the tentative map noting Director of Planning the access points, street circulation, eques- trian trails, open space and the size of the proposed lots. In reviewing the drainage prob- lems, Mr. Peterson stated that the development of this area in accordance with the plan sub- mitted will have an insignificant effect on the drainage in the Acacia Avenue area. Meet- ings were held with the County staff and with residents of Acacia Avenue and the residents asked for a drainage district which would re- solve their problems. The plans were that this district would be formed; however, it must be initiated by the residents of the area. Mr. Peterson reported that the Planning Com- mission recommended approval of the map sub- ject to 41 conditions. Widening of Acacia Avenue Following Council discussion on the feasibility of widening this street, Mayor Hamilton com- mented that a few years ago when the City was proposing to annex Bonita, the proposal was made to connect Acacia with that street in the Southwestern College Estates. At that time, the Council made an agreement with the County not to connect that street to the existing Acacia Avenue here - that the street would come out to Bonita Road in another area. Mr. Cole, Director of Public Works, remarked that with extensive grading and cuts, they could have overcome the terrain and come out onto Bonita Road in another location. The Corky McMillan subdivision, however, precluded some of the routes contemplated. City Council Meeting 4 February 5, 1974 Public hearing reopened At this time, ~{a¥or Hamilton reopened the pub- lic hearing. Noel Smith Mr. Smith stated he was representing the Bel 1008 Calle Mesita Aire Homeowners Association, Their objections were (1) to the "P" zone attachment indicating that if the area were isolated the zone attach- ment would be fine, however this development is next to an established community; (2) they are enjoying the rural way of life and wish that maintained; (3) feel the R-E-H zoning has possibilities; (4) open space area in the proposed development is along the canyon areas on which nothing can be built - Mr. Smith's idea of good open space is within the bound- aries of one's own lot. Mr. Smith then referred to and read the petition signed by the home- owners in this area. Petition noted City Clerk Fulasz noted a petition received bearing 151 signatures representing 90 prop- erties in the Bonita Bel Aire Subdivision re- questing the following policies: (1) in residential areas, zoning shall define the minimum lot size allowed and in those areas where the Hillside Ordinance is applicable, the ordinance plus the zoning shall determine the actual lot size; (2) no occupancy to be permitted until sufficient highways and streets are completed; (3) no occupancy to be permitted until full services such as police, fire and school5 are provided. Billie Johnson Mr. Johnson remarked that part of the drainage 3946 Acacia runs through a corner of his property and questioned who would pay the cost of this improvement. Councilman Scott commented that it was his understanding that the County is forming a flood drainage district and this property was encouraged to join, along with the other prop- erty owners on Acacia Avenue. Donald Worley, Attorney Mr. Worley stated he is representing the de- Seltzer, Caplan, Wilkins & McMahon veloper. If they were to develop the property 3003 Fourth Avenue under the R-E zoning, they could get 192 units; San Diego however, with the "P" attachment, they are proposing construction of 136 units. In compliance with this zoning, the net density would be less than the other developments in the area. The development conforms to the intent of the Hillside Ordinance, and they asked for Council approval of the map. Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for or against, the hearing was declared closed. ORDINANCE NO. 1523 - It was moved by Councilm~] Hyde that this AMENDING ZONING MAP OR MAPS ordinance be placed on its first reading and ESTABLISHED BY SECTION 33.401 OF that reading of the text be waived by unan- THE CITY CODE REZONING THAT CERTAIN PROPERTY LOCATED BETWEEN OTAY LAKES imous consent. ROAD AND ACACIA AVENUE SOUTH OF BONITA ROAD FROM R-E TO R-E-P AND PREZONING CERTAIN ADDITIONAL PROF- ERTY LOCATED CONTIGUOUS THERETO FROM E-1-A TO R-E-P - FIRST READING City Council Meeting 5 February 5, 1974 The motion carried by the following vote, to- wit: AYES: Councilmen Hyd% Egdahl, Scott, Hobel~ Hamilton Noes: None Absent: None RESOLUTION NO. 7165 - Offered by Councilman Egdahl, the reading of APPROVING TENTATIVE MAP OF the text was waived by unanimous consent, BONITA RIDGE ESTATES passed and adopted by the following vote, to- SUBDIVISION wit: AYES: Councilmen Egdahl, Scott, Hobel, Hamilton, Hyde Noes: None Absent: None Councilman Egdahl cited the number of develop- ments that have come before the Council in rapid succession and suggested having a long- range plan for the entire area. EXECUTIVE SESSION It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Hobel and unanimously carried that the Council recess to Executive Session for personnel matters. The Council recessed at 9:05 p.m. and the meeting reconvened at 9:55 p.m. PUBLIC HEARING - City Attorney Lindberg explained that the RECONSIDERATION OF TENTATIVE public hearing was called by order of the ~P FOR ZENITH II Court. He read a portion of the judgment granting the preemptory writ of mandate which stated that the Court received transcripts and arguments and granted the decision. In the preemptory writ of mandate, as issued to the City Council, the Court stated that "you are commanded immediately on receipt of this Writ to set aside your decision denying ap- proval of the tentative Subdivision Zenith II Map and to reconsider the approval of filing of said map and to take special action espe- cially enjoined upon you by law." The purpose of the public hearing, therefore, is to hear new testimony for the basis for denying the Zenith II Subdivision map, or in the absence of such new material, the Council pursuant to the direction of the Court's Writ, to approve such map. On October 16, 1973, the City Council, by a 4-1 vote, denied the tentative map based on: 1. The design is incompatible with the topo- graphy, 2. The design results in peculiar configura- tion of open space areas on adjacent properties. 3. The developer, together with staff, should investigate the possibility of a land swap to improve both the configuration of the develop- ment and the configuration of adjacent proper- ties. City Council Meeting 6 February 5, 1974 This map was returned to the Council by order of the Superior Court under a writ of mandate requiring Council to consider the map on its own merits without regard to adjacent City property, Planning Director recommendation In an analysis report, Director of Planning Peterson commented that approval of the map as recommended by the Planning Commission re- suits in the creation of peculiarly shaped open space areas in City ownership, but that it did conform with the Zoning Ordinance and the Subdivision Ordinance. This difficulty could be resolved if the applicant agreed to an exchange of property or if East Palomar Street or Oleander Avenue did not have to be extended. However, the applicant desires to develop only the property presently under his control, and the extension of Palomar and Oleander Avenue is vital to the development of a satisfactory circulation system for that area. Mr. Peterson agreed with the recommenda- tion of the Planning Commission to approve the tentative map. Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Hamilton opened the public hearing. Don Worley, Attorney Mr. Worley stated he is representing the Seltzer, Caplan, Wilkins & McMahon American Housing Guild, San Diego. They have 3003 Fourth Avenue met all the requirements of the Zoning 0rdi- San Diego nance, the Subdivision Ordinance and the General Plan. They sought, at the outset, to satisfy every single discrepancy, and now ask that the Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission and approve the map. Tony Tieber Mr. Tieber stated he has followed this sub- 1267 Rayburn division from its initial plan three years Chairman, Parks & Recreation ago. He feels it is a well-planned develop- Commission ment; however, he asked that the Council take a look at the land west of this subdivision and see if something could be worked out with the developer for improvement of this area that would be advantageous to both parties. Gene Cook Mr. Cook thanked the Council, on behalf of the 14010cala Court residents who wanted to stop this development, for their efforts in this behalf. The resi- dents (1) want the area to remain open space; (2) believe that if Oleander Avenue is extended, the crime rates on both sides of the canyon will increase; (3) feel that there would be a great amount of energy saved if the develop- ment was not built; (4) questioned the possibi- lity of a land swap; (5) want a 30-day delay so that the people can put something together that would solve this issue. Protestants Others protesting were; Anna Ingalls, 1400 0tala Court; Mel Ingalls, 1400 Ocala Court; Bob Williamson, 489 Thrush Street; Ondina Wade, 486 Thrush Street. Their objections were: (1) the original General Plan showed this as open space; (2) they feel the proposed sub- division would not be in keeping with the spirit City Council Meeting 7 February 5, 1974 of the General Plan; {3) there is a need for a park here; ~4) the development does not take into account the educational needs - the chil- dren would have to use Bonita Vista Junior High and High School which is at capacity level; ~5) they heard that it would cost the City approximately $20,000 for each dwelling in services, such as putting in gas lines, street lights, etc. Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for or against, the hearing was declared closed. Four-way intersection between Councilman Hobel questioned whether the condi- Raven and East Palomar Street tion regarding the four-way intersection at these streets has been resolved. Mr. Peterson stated it has - the developer has redesigned the subdivison to bring the grade down to 3%+ at this intersection thereby removing the most objectionable element from this design feature. RESOLUTION NO. 7166 - Offered by Councilman Egdahl, the reading of APPROVING THE TENTATIVE MAP the text was waived by unanimous consent, OF A SUBDIVISION TO BE KNOWN passed and adopted by the following vote, to- AS ZENITH II SUBDIVISION wit: AYES: Councilmen Egdahl, Hobel, Hamilton, Hyde Noes: Councilman Scott Absent: None Speaking against motion Councilman Scott felt the design was incompat- ible with the topography. Planning has to take into consideration the entire area and not just the property owned by the landowner. The Judge has disagreed with this, and Councilman Scott felt it should be noted that it is the Judge who is approving this subdivision and not the City Council. Motion for staff direction It was moved by Councilman Egdahl, seconded by Mayor Hamilton and unanimously carried that the staff be directed to ask American Housing Guild to develop the property immediately to the east which belongs to the City, which is bounded by their proposed subdivision (by Oleander), and the idea of developing this property in conjunction with their subdivision so that it becomes one development. Also, to negotiate with them the fee for that service they would render the City. Disposal of City property In answer to Councilman Scott's inquiry, City Attorney Lindberg stated that the Purchasing Ordinance requires the auctioning of surplus City land to obtain the highest bid; however, under extraordinary circumstances, the Council can make findings whereby the direction stated in the motion can be done, City Council Meeting 8 February 5, 1974 REPORT ON STANDARDIZATION In a written report to the Council, City OF CURFEW HOUR Manager Thomson reported that the Chief of Police has recommended that the curfew be set at 11:00 p.m. for the entire year in view of standard daylight saying time.

REPORT ON "EL CAJON EXPRESS" In a written report to the Council, City Man- ager Thomson presented a detailed report on the "El Cajon Express" as investigated by Greg Smith, Administrative Analyst. This is a 24- hours a day system, covering a period of 7 months for which the City of E1Cajon has allocated the sum of $43,000 from revenue shar- ing funds. Mr. Thomson asked that he be per- mitted to investigate the matter further and report back during Council budget sessions.

REPORT ON LIEN ON PROPERTY Director of Public Works Cole reported that on AT 441 JAMES COURT - April 10, 1973, the Council approved a lien TED W. MELTON agreement between the Meltons and the City in the amount of $1,000 for the deferral of public improvements at 441 James Court. On November iS, 1973, W. H. Ledbetter & Sons, took out a general construction permit for the construction of the street improvements from the easterly property line of 429 James Court westerly to the end of the cul-de-sac. Mr. Melton did not execute a contract with the contractor and as a result only the street improvements owned by the prop- erty owners at 429, 431 and 435 James Court were constructed. At the meeting of December 13, 1973, the Plan- ning Commission directed that the required improvement be installed. Recommendation of Director Mr. Cole recommended that the Council uphold of Public Works this action, denying the appeal of Mr. Melton. Further, that if the work is not commenced in 30 days, the City Attorney be directed to fore- close said lien in accordance with the lien agreement.

REPORT ON THIRD AVENUE Director of Public Works Cole reported that a POST OFFICE TRAFFIC meeting was held with the Traffic Engineer and the Postmaster, Mr, Henry Copp, along with members of his staff on January 10, 1974.

Motion to accept report It was moved by Councilman Scott and seconded by Councilman Egdahl to accept the report and a letter be sent to the Chamber of Commerce citing the points made in this report. Staff position Mr. Olu Sawyerr, Traffic Engineer, stated the staff favors the circulation route around the post office. Councilman Hyde favored the staff's position and felt the Council should make every effort to get the traffic problem solved here.

Motion for staff direction It was moved by Councilman Hyde, seconded by Councilman Scott and unanimously carried that the staff be directed to prepare an argument on behalf of a traffic plan circulating around the post office to be presented formally to the Postmaster of the Chula Vista Post Office, and if he does not concur, that it then be forwarded to an appeal level within the fed- eral government. REPORT ON TRAFFIC ISLAND Director of Public Works Cole and Traffic REMOVAL ON BONITA ROAD Engineer Sawyerr discussed the request of the AT ALLEN SCHOOL ROAD Chamber of Commerce to remove the concrete island on Bonita Road east of Allen School Road. This island makes it difficult to make left turns onto Bonita Road from the westerly driveway of the Bonita Plaza Shopping Center parking lot. Mr. Cole stated the complexity of all possible movements at intersections increases the potential for accidents and makes it desirable to move other turning movements as far as possible from the inter- section. It would be his recommendation that the island, or any part of it, not be removed, and further, that the island be extended east- erly to physically prevent left turns from this driveway rather than removing the entire island. Emily Ritter Mrs, Ritter stated she is the President of the 339 Patricia Avenue Bonita branch of the Chamber of Commerce. They made the request to the Council to remove the island because they felt it was hazardous and dangerous. The car5 parking along the road present a site problem to the vehicles attempt- ing to exit from the shopping center. Mrs. Ritter cited other intersections in the City City Council Meeting 10 February 5, 1974 where islands have been removed and other areas where a pedestrian crosswalk was put in. Motion for no street parking rt was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Hyde and unanimously carried that this be referred to the staff to see about the possibility of putting in a "no parking" zone along this center to see if this helps the safety factors of the situation. Also, that a "no left turn" sign be installed at the driveway in question. This direction to be put into effect for 6 months and report back to the City Council. Clarence Knight Mr. Knight showed sketches of the Bonita Plaza 117 Jefferson Avenue Shopping Center layout. He referred to the Safety Commission meetings where this matter was discussed. Mr. Knight read an excerpt from a decision of the Supreme Court regarding dangerous conditions of public property. Accident report Traffic Engineer Sawyerr stated that there was ne evidence of any traffic hazard at this point. The traffic accident report for the last five years showed only one accident in this area. REPORT ON EAST "H" STREET Director of Public Works Cole stated that an CENTER ISLAND investigation of construction and maintenance costs and a close scrutiny of the proposed Gas Tax Program and of available Gas Tax funds revealed that limited Gas Tax funds were available and the residents would be satisfied to accept a limited or temporary solution to the existing problem on East "H" Street. Mr. Cole recommended that the center island be constructed on East "H" Street and that all street paving be constructed to the center island but that no landscaping be installed at this time. The project is estimated at $33,000 and is included in the 1974-75 Gas Tax budget. Mr. Cole added that the landscaping for this median island is proposed to be accomplished in fiscal year 1976-77 at a cost of $45,000. Letter of support noted A letter written by E. C. Carper, Jr., Pres- ident, College Estates Homeowners' Association, was submitted to the Council favoring the com- pletion and landscaping of the median of East "H" Street, stating that the homeowners in this area "have seen very little tax money" used in their area.

The motion carried by the following vote, to- wit: AYES: Councilmen Scott, Hamilton, Hyde, Egdahl Noes: Councilman Hobel Absent: None City Council Meeting 11 February 5, 1974 Speaking against motion Councilman Hohel felt something of a low-cost nature could be put into that dirt area - perhaps even some grass for the two-year period. Budget item Councilman Hyde suggested this be brought up at budget time, Letter to Mr. Carper It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Hyde and unanimously carried that a letter be written to Mr. Carper stating that the City has put in tennis courts out in this area; a joint agreement was made for the swim- ming pools out there; bus service is provided out there; Elmhurst Park has been developed; the median strip on "H" Street across the way was put in by the developer and not by the City; and a fire station was provided for this area.
