APPROVAL OF MINUTES It was moved by Councilman Hyde, seconded by Councilman Hobel and unanimously carried that the minutes of the meetings of September 26 and October 9, 1973 be approved, copies having been sent to each Councilman. RESOLUTION APPROVING THE This item was held over from the meeting of TENTATIVE MRP OF A SUB- October 9, 1973. A previous tentative map DIVISION TO BE KNOWN AS for 8S single-family units on the same pro- ZENITH II SUBDIVISION perty was denied by the Planning Commission on May 22, 1972, which recommendation was upheld by the City Council on July 11, 1972. This project proposes 74 single-family units on 29.6 acres, 7 of which are in the San Diego Gas and Electric Company power line easement and are considered open space. The net density of the project is 4.5 dwelling units per acre. Director of Planning Peterson noted the peti- tion reeeived by the City Clerk requesting that the City establish an Open Space Acquisition and Maintenance District to acquire the Zenith II property - the costs to be shared "equally" by the City and the area residents. Petition noted City Clerk Fulasz substantiated the fact that she did receive petitions totalling 236 signatures representing 174 properties. PUD Development Discussion followed during which Councilman Hyde questioned the legality of requiring a PUD development. Mr. Peterson explained that the area was zoned for single-family development, and the tentative map conforms with the zoning ordinance - he felt that a PUD requirement could not be ~mposed. Palomar and Oleander Councilman Egdahl questioned the extension of East Palomar Street and the street pat- tern in this area. City Council Meeting 2 October 16, 1973 Director of Public Works Cole explained the configuration of the proposed streets and the need for the Palomar Bridge. He com- mented that the Council agreed to this street alignment about two years ago and this ap- proval was conveyed to the State. Donald Worley, Attorney Mr. Worley, representing American Housing 3003 Fourth Avenne, San Diego Guild, stated that this was the third time the applicant has been before the Council for approval of this development. All of the deficiencies and discrepancies in the original tentative map have now been cor- rected; the homes will sell for $38,000 to $55,000; there is no market for attached townhouses - a PUD would not sell; no truth to the allegations that representa- tives of American Housing Guild told the residents in this area that this land would remain as open space; the average lot size is 9,500 square feet; to require a PUD would be both unlawful and unfair; the people are not objecting to the type of development going in - they are objecting to any development taking place on this property. Protestants Protesting the development were: Dean H. Koch, 14010cala Court; Roger D. Johnson, 1403 Ocala Court; Mrs. Anna Ingalls, 1400 Ocala Court; and Myron L. Gravlin, 492 Thrush Street. Their objections were: (1) a real estate man did inform them that the land would remain open space, and the areas adja- cent to their homes, on which the homeowners planted iceplant and trees [adjacent to 0cala Court] would be ~everted to the home- owners after a period of five years or so; (2) American Housing officials confirmed the statements that they would not build on this property - it w~not feasible, and they were trying to get the City to purchase it for park purposes; (3) the noise level should be considered; (4) investigate the possibility of assessing people for the acquisition and maintenance of the property; (5) what happens to the .wildlife out there; (6) give the people more time in which they can propose a Maintenance District; (7) the children need the area to play in rather than to have them on the streets; (8) they are the victims, of fraud and deception by American Housing Guild; (9) if the development is approved, they would like to retain their landscaped slopes; (10) there should be some sort of buffer between this development and their homes. Jerry Linton Mr. Linton stated he did not know of anything American Housing Guild about the landscaped areas these people are talking about. The proposed development will have to adhere to the landscaping re- quirements imposed by the City. He discussed the noise decibel levels which he explained meet HIID standards. As for the preservation of witdlif~e in the area, Mr. ninton commented that the place is presently used for dumping purposes and by motorcyclists. City Council Meeting 3 October 16, 1973 Suggestion for moro Councilman Scott suggested the area south open space of tho San Diego Gas and Electric Company easement to the parkview School be left as open space, and questioned the need for the East Palomar oxtension.~ Motion to deny map It was moved by Councilman Scott and seconded by Councilman Hyde that the tentative map be denied on the basis that the design is incompatible with the topography, and that he (Scott) would like to see a plan that would be more in mind with the comments he made earlier. Councilman Scott clarified his reasons for his motion: (1) the open space, as pro- posed, seems to meander down on the southern part, especially around a point of Azalea Street; (2) also, that portion of the pro- perty adjacent to the SDG&E easement and the Parkview open space area should be looked into to square it off in some manner; (5) the street pattern, in general, seems to out up so much of the open space; (4) because of the design, the utilization of the open space is broken up in many dif- ferent ways; (5) a better plan could be submitted to the Council for approval. Motion carries The motion carried by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Councilmen Scott, Hobel, Hyde, Egdahl Noes: Mayor Hamilton Absent: None Motion for staff direction It was moved by Councilman Hyde, seconded by Councilman Hobel and unanimously car- ried that the staff begin negotiations with American Housing Guild with regard to this parcel of the subdivision with the option to reconsider the possibility of land swaps (exchanges) and/or the possibility of land acquisition on the part of the City in order to come up with a solution which would be more compatible with the many dif- ferent interests the City has in this de- velopment. East Palomar Extension Councilman Egdahl questioned whether or not the Council wants East Palomar Street to go through. He suggested that a Council Con- ference be held on this matter. Another item that should be included in the staff study is the proposal by the residents in the area regarding an acquisition and open space district - what that would entail. City Manager's comments City Manager Tholason commented on the meet- ings held With American Housing Guild ap- proximately two years ago in which they discussed swaps, improvements on the roads and acquisition prices. Recess A recess was called at 8:42 p.m. and the meeting reconvened at 9:00 p.m. City Council Meeting 4 October 16, 1973 PRESENTATION ON SIERRA Mr. Marasso showed a slide presentation CLUB'S SLOW GROWTH ~hick depicted graphm and charts showing ORDINANCE - Richard the ~inding$~ ah~determihations conc~r~ing Marasso the effects of rapid population growth in this County az it affects the economic, environmental, health and social conditions of the residents. He asked the Eomcil to form a task force to establish the feasi- bility of the Slow Growth Ordinance to see what ramifications this would have. Councilman Hobel noted that CPO currently has this under study. Councilman Scott felt it would be redundant for the City to establish a task force since San Diego has already done so. He suggested the Council wait for this report and, at that time, call a Conference and look into the matter further. Resolution noted City Clerk Fulasz noted, for the record, the resolution received from the Savings and Loan ClEaring Association of San Diego County opposing the Slow Growth Ordinance. ORAL COb~qUNICATIONS Oral Communications centered on the use of Claire Street by the Hilltop High School Band. Fred Watts Mr. Watts stated there is a problem which 158 Via de Laurencio has occurred for many years by having the Hilltop High School Band use Claire Street for marching practice. From 2:30 to 5:00 p.m. every day, the band ties up traffic so that the cars turning into Claire Street are forced to use the High School parking lot area to get through. Recently, his wife used the parking area and a bicyclist darted out between cars and she had a near-accident. Mr. Watts suggested putting up barricades on either end of the street to warn motori§ts that they cannot get by. Don Marshall Mr. Marshall said he is the band director 3667 Bonita View Drive for the school. He explained the need for the use of the stree% stating that the band uses it from 3:00'p.m. to 4:30 p.m. for up to four days a week from September 15 to November 22. They will also use it for a fifteen-day period prior to the May band competitions. Mr. Marshall stated that the band has always yielded the right-of-way to any passing motorist. Robert Dodds Mr. Dodds, Principal of Hilltop High School, 767 Nolun Avenue declared that they wished to cooperate in any way. Me met with the Police, and after monitoring the area, reported that the band yielded the right-of-way to motorists and there was no problem. Russell Foss Mr. Foss explained that he was President of 660 Floyd Avenue the High School Band Boosters for the past five years. During this time, they have never received any complaints from the residents in the area. City Council Meeting 5 October 16, 1973 Greg Smith Mr.. Smith remarked that he met with Mr. Citizens Assistance Officer Watts and the school representative to try to resolve the prohlem~ He stated that in lg66, the City Council reviewed this matter and gave tacit approval to the use of Claire Street by the band. Petition received The City Clerk reported she received a petition containing 30S signatures requesting that the Lancer Band be allowed to continue the use of Claire Avenue (full width) from Shasta Street to "I" Street for the purpose of marching rehearsal. Suggestions for guards Mayor Hamilton suggested posting a student on either end of the street to warn motorists that the band is using the area. It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Hyde and unanimously carried that students be stationed on either end of the street to see how this works. In two weeks' time, a report is to be submitted to the Council by the Police and Eitizens Assistance Officer. RECESS A recess was called at 9:50 p.m. and the meeting reconvened at 10:00 p.m. BUS OOLORING CONTEST City Manager Thomson reported that the Chamber of Commerce will be handling the bus coloring contest, and will work through the junior and senior high schools and the junior college.

City Council Meeting 6 October 16, 1973 Motion for staff study It was moved by Councilman Hyde, seconded h~ Councilman Hobel and unanimously carried that the staff be directed to investigate this matter further and give the Council statistical data as to cost-benefit ratio and the financial impact it will have on the City's budget.
