R, CAMPBELL a brief presentation concerning the "J" Street launching ramp area. He stated that the Environ- mental Report consisting of more than 100 pages is still being worked on. It should be ready for issuance within the next two to three weeks and will be an important milestone because the report will generate the official responses from the many different agencies to which it must be submitted for their comments, criticisms and other remarks. Mr. Campbell reviewed some statistics in connection with the program. The area to be dredged fs approximately 40 acres in size and at low tide, more than 80% is above the low water mark. There is an estimated one million cubic yards of soil to be removed from the area which is one of the reasons for the delay to the project. A combination island and wild life preserve is to be created which will be approximately 80 to 100 acres. There have been some engineering problems, but they will be resolved. Mr. Campbell further stated that the cost figures may now be close to two and one-half million dollars. The project is mov~ng and is considered by the Port District as .one of the most important that they have in terms of an unfinished pro~ect. The schedule for completion is only approximately two months later than reported previously. (Mayor Hamilton came in at this time.) City Council Meeting 2 October 28, 1975 In answer to a quest}on from Councilman Hyde, ~Ir. Campbell stated that they do not anticipate any difficulty in terms of approval by the Army Corps of Engineers, and none of the agencies involved have indicated that they would oppose the project. ORAL CO~qUNICATIONS Mrs. Judy Sullivan Mrs. Sullivan and Mrs. Kelley requested that 162 Mankato Street the Council reconsider the decision to take out the trees in the Mankato-Whitney Circle Mrs, J. Kelley and that the Council hold another Council 167 Mankato Street Conference to find the best solution for the City while still keeping the trees. They stated that they were representing the majority (a simple majority of 32 out of 63) of the home owners as shown on a petition they had with them, and were asking that the City keep the trees and let the City find the best way to do it. Discussion of problem Discussion followed by Council and staff, including comments from Mrs. Sullivan and Mrs. Kelley, concerning various alternatives of solving the problem, and it was concluded that the problem has not been resolved. Motion It was moved by Councilman Egdahl that the Council decision to remove the trees be held in abeyance until such time as this new information has been referred to and acted upon by the Street Tree Committee and they bring a proposal back to the Council and at that time a Council conference be considered. Notation to motion Councilman Hobel seconded the motion with the notation that they also speak to any other proposals and not just come forward and say, "this is the proposal we have settled on."

She requested, in connection with the Human Care Services Feasibility Study, that a community task force or committee be appointed to participate in the development of any recommendations that might arise out of the staff study so there would be community as well as staff input. She stated City Council Meeting -3- October 28, 1975 that many people, because of new Federal regulations in Title VII~ XIX, and XX of the Social Security Act, Revenue Sharing Act and Community Development Block Grant fund monies, there is much funding avail- able to communities at this time that could be brought into our community. She asked that the Council take some action to establish some kind of a community task force or committee which would work with staff in the development of anything that mi, ght come before the Council. Mayor Hamilton explained that the report was only an interim report at this time. There was no further discussion. Human Relations Mrs. Helton stated the Human Relations Commission Commission received a letter from the State Conference on Community Human Relations requesting that a representative serve on the state planning committee. The Human Relations Commission voted to have Mrs. Helton represent them. She has received a notice inviting her to a meeting to be held Saturday, November 1, 1975 in Burlingame. There are no funds in the Human Relations Commis$ion budget for this trip and it was suggested that she present a request to the Council for funds to cover airfare and luncheon.

They will also be placed in the Tourist and Convention Bureau. The booklet represents the total business community. David Burns Mr. Burns, President of the South Bay Irriga- 130 Whitney Street tion D~strict, commented that he hoped the Chula Vista Council and Chamber of Commerce did recognize the South Bay Irrigation District; that they are elected by the citizens and perform a public service. City Council Meeting 4 October 28, 1975 PUBLIC HEARING - The City Council, on October 7, 1975 by CONSIDERATION OF INTENTION Resolution ~o. 7914, established October 28, TO VACATE A PORTION OF FIG 1975, as the date for a public hearing AVENUE, SOUTH OF DAVIDSON vacating the easterly 19 feet of Fig Avenue, STREET south of Davidson Street, There will be no physical changes in the street configuration as a result of the vacation. All adjacent property will maintain existing access to the public street. Report on unavailability In response to the Council's earlier request of parking space that staff investigate the matter and deter- mine a means of controlling the parking, Director of Public Works Robens reported that the parking spaces marked on Fig Avenue - three for City veh~cles~ three for visitors, two for the Council and one for the Mayor - were often not available during the day. The only way availability could be accomplished is through vacation of the street so that the City would own the property and have the enforcement rights. Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Hamilton opened the public hearing. Public hearing closed There being no comments either for or against the vacation, ~layor Hamilton closed the public hearing. Motion to bring resolution It was moved by Councilman ~lyde and seconded back by Councilman I~obel that a resolution be brought back to the Council providing for the vacation of the property. Discussion of motion Councilman Scott spoke against the motion, stating he felt a lot of parking space was being placed in the private domain of staff and City Council and could be used more efficiently in the public domain thereby being used by everyone. Further discussion was held on the consequences of issuing citations for people parking in the marked area and the effectiveness of posted signs. ~r. Robens stated that no actual study had been made, but he had observed that no real problem existed. Usu- ally there are parking spaces available, except on Thursdays. There is a lot of use of the spaces by non-city and non-city hall vehicles at all times. Councilman Hyde commented that he could not think of any public agency where there are not some working spaces, limited perhaps, but reasonable space provided for those who have a need to be at the facility on a regular basis. He did not feel it unreason- able to have a few spaces allocated for City vehicles and suggested that if motion passed, a more obvious "~o Parking" sign be prepared so that people will not get tickets. City Council r~eeting 5 October 28, 1975 Motion carried The motion carried by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Councilmen Hyde, Hobel, Hamilton ~loes: Councilmen Scott, Egdahl Absent: None PUBLIC HEARING - On August 26, 1975 the Zoning Administrator CONSIDERATION OF APPEAL denied a request to vary from the Zoning OF DENIAL OF REQUEST FOR Ordinance by increasing the rear yard VARIANCE ZAV-75-8 TO coverage from 30% (allowed) to 59%. The INCREASE REAR YARD Zoning Administrator was unable to make the COVERAGE FROM 30% TO 59% necessary findings of hardship. The applicant, AT 950 MELROSE AVENUE., ~lr. McCauley, appealed the Zoning Administrator's HOWARD L~ AND KATHLEEN decision to the Planning Commission on Septem- I~cCAULEY ber 24, 1975.. After hearing testimony from the applicant and two neighbors the Planning Commission upheld the denial of the variance and the applicant appealed the Planning Commission's decision to the Council. Director of Planning Peterson explained that the normal rear yard requirement in the R-1 Zone is 20 feet, but there is a provision in the ordinance for encroaching into that required rear yard to a depth of l0 feet if the building addition covers no more than 30% of the required rear yard area. In this case, the applicant constructed a patio or sunshade area so that the total coverage of the rear yard area is now 59%. Light and air and circulation are the m~jor concerns..The applicant's plan does not silow the overhead cover and it was not discovered until inspec- tion was made of the actual building addition. Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Hamilton opened the public hearing. Howard McCauley Mr. McCauley stated that his written appeal 950 Melrose Avenue submitted to the Council together with the pictures covered the situation. He asked his attorney, Mr. ~iller, to represent him at the hearing. James E. Miller Mr. Miller presented a set of photographs Attorney for the Council to review and offered various 4819 Whippom~ill Lane facts in support of the hardship determination Bonita which the Council is being asked to make. Mr. Miller commented that the matter of coverage is undefined in the ordinance. The slats allow for considerable amount of light and air so it is not a roof to house the interior space but is strictly an outdoor type of lattice structure. There is no fire hazard. Mr. Miller said that Mr. McCauley had commendably improved a residence in the City in good faith and with considerable expense and was hopeful that the Council would allow him to maintain the structure. City Council Meeting 6 October 28, 1975 Ray Howard Mr. tloward lives in the house just behind 949 Maria Way Mr. McCauley. He pointed out that the structure certainly does not destroy the area in which they live and recommended that the Council approve the variance. James M. Darnell Mr. Darnell lives next to Mr. McCauley 954 Melrose and has view of the property every day. He stated he could see nothing detrimental to the structure and felt it was beneficial from the standpoint of a property owner. Council discussion Councilman Egdahl commented that the argument of the staff and Planning Commission are valid and good ones, however, the ordinance does not specifically define what degree of overhead coverage should be considered a roof. He suggested that it be recognized that this probably needs to be much more clearly defined in the ordinance. It was moved by Councilman Egdahl and seconded MOtion to grant appeal by Councilman Scott that the appeal be granted. Discussion of motion Further comments were made by Councilman Egdahl saying that his intention is to follow on with a second motion to revise that part of the ordinance. ~{e thought it would serve no purpose to remove the sunshade, but that it does bring up the fact that a problem does exist with the ordinance and revisions should be made. Councilman Hyde expressed concern that at a later date someone could make a patio and build on it, although at this point it is obvious that its purpose is a sunshade. Motion carried The motion to grant the appeal carried unanimously. Motion to revise It was moved by Councilman Egdahl, seconded ordinance by Councilman Scott and unanimously carried to consider amendments to the ordinance to revise and correct that particular deficiency defining the percentage of coverage (overhead) which does define a roof structure for this purpose. CONSENT CALENDAR It was moved by Councilman Hyde that the Consent Calendar be approved and adopted. The mOtiOn carried.with Councilman Scott VOting "no!' On Item No. 9, Resolution No. 7933.

Report by City Attorney Mr. Lindberg made a brief summation of the Eindberg letters presented to the Council, stating that he had discussion with Hr. Patton, Attorney for the San Diego Transit Corpora- tion, and it was pointed out that the situation has not changed from what it was over a year ago in connection with San Diego Transit buving out Mr. Allen's bus line. The Transit Corporation says it cannot accept Mr. Allen's proposal, The last offer ~as approximately $375,000 and incorporated in the offer was a requirement for employment with the Transit Co~oration. City Council Meeting 9 October 28, 1975 San Diego Transit has indicated their willing- ness and interest in buying Mr. Allen's company and have offered to employ an independent appraiser; however, to date no agreement has been reached. He commented that San Diego Transit Corporation does not have a "policy" in regard to this matter, but their posture has not changed, nor has Mr. Allen's position. Motion to file resolution It was moved by Councilman Scott and seconded by Councilman Hyde that the resolution be filed. Discussion of motion Councilman Hyde stated that while he voted last week in favor of the resolution approving modification of the "L" Street bus line, after further evaluation, he now feels that basically it will not provide any benefits to the City of Chula Vista and he does see some loss of service to the City. He agreed that the primary responsibility of the Council is to provide for the citizens of the City. Councilman Scott concurred that there would be a loss of service to the people of Chula Vista and felt there would not be any benefits. Councilman Hobel further agreed with the position of Councilmen Hyde and Scott. One of his concerns is that in past years he has seen erosion take place in small businesses, and he expressed this concern in that perhaps at some future date, the City might be involved jointly with San Diego Transit on some type of problem, therefore, on that basis he supported the motion that was made. Motion carried The motion to file the resolution carried unanimously.
