INTRODUCTION OF GUEST Mayor Hamilton introduced Mr. George Chandler,

(Councilman Scott arrived at this time).
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS There were no Oral Communications.
PUBLIC HEARING - On August 12, 1975, by Resolution No. 7821, the
DEFERRAL OF UNDERGROUND City Council established this date for a public
REQUIREMENTS, NORTHWEST hearing for the purpose of determining whether
QUADRANT, 1-80S AND to vary from or defer the undergrounding of
BONITA ROAD utilities across the property located in the
northwest quadrant of 1-805 Freeway and Bonita
Road.
Assistant Director of Public Works Lippitt
submitted a plat noting the previous action of
City Council Meeting 2 August 12, 1975
the Council in approving the precise plan for
this property that all onsite utilities be
undergreunded with the exception that a waiver
for the 12 KV distribution line could be
requested by separate action.
It was the staff's recommendation that the
request to defer the requirement of under-
grounding this existing 12 KV distribution line
be approved.
Mr. Lippitt then cited the reasons for the recom-
mendation.
Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised,
Mayor Hamilton opened the public hearing.
Don O'Neill Mr. O'Neill stated he was the owner of the prop-
4910 Milton Street erty in question and was speaking also on behalf
San Diego of Mex-Insurance. He requested a continuance
of this public hearing on the basis that they
were under the impression that the staff's
recommendation would be to waive the require-
ments rather then defer. Mr. O'Neill declared
that the cost today to underground the utilities
was $75,000.00 and if this was deferred for five
or six years, the cost at that time would be
extremely high.
City Attorney's opinion Mr. Lindberg remarked that the hearing was called
for a deferral of the public improvements - if
Mr. O'Neill wants a waiver, then an entire new
public hearing must be called.
After conferring with his Engineer, Mr. Frank
Phillips, Mr. O'Neill said he was advised to
accept the deferral in lieu of the waiver. He
withdrew hi5 request for the continuance.
Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for or
against, the hearing was closed.
Resolution to be brought It was moved by Councilman Hyde, seconded by
back Councilman Hobel and unanimously carried that
a resolution be brought back to the Council
authorizing the deferral of the installation
of the public improvements of these properties.
PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED - The public hearing was continued from the meeting
ASSESSMENT~ DEL MAR AVENUE of August 5 in order that the staff can provide
1911 ACT DISTRICT 74-1 the Council with cost estimates for all prop-
erties within this District.
Abstaining Councilman Hobel stated he was abstaining from
vote and discussion of this matter since he
was not present at the last meeting.
City Council Meeting 3 August 12, 1975
Assistant Director of Public Works Lippitt
submitted a written report detailing the
estimated and actual costs of the construction
as assessed to each of the property owners
within the District.
He explained that the protest by Mr. Joseph
Simmons, one of the owners of Parcel No. 6,
(as voiced at the August 5 meeting), was against
the preliminary estimate and the description
of the work to be performed. The actual assess-
ment apportioned to Mr. Simmons was based upon
benefits received and does not include costs
for which he received no benefit. The assessment
to Mr. Simmons is totally consistent with the
assessments throughout the District. Mr.
Lippitt further explained that the letters sent
to ~he property owners on July 1974 was to poll
them on whether or not they wished lighting
(either overhead or underground) included in
this District. The letter included a prelim-
inary cost estimate.
Public hearing reopened This being the time and place as advertised,
Mayor Hamilton reopened the public hearing.
Joseph Simmons Mr. Simmons questioned the comparison of costs
617 Third Avenue (estimate and actual) of the other lots in the
Chula Vista District. It was noted that the difference
between the estimates and the assessment was
increased approximately the same percentage as
that of Mr. Simmons'.
Mr. Simmons then questioned why the other lots
have sidewalks and he doesn't. He assumed that
this was included in the 1911 Act.
Mr. Lippitt explained that Mr. Simmons was
charged for the sidewalk for 50% of ~He general
benefit under the total District which was
$94.00. He has a vacant lot with a 40' frontage
on a cul-de-sac. To put in sidewalks under the
Act would mean that at a later date, when Mr.
Simmons developed his property, he would have to
tear up over one-half of the Mdewalk in order
to put in a driveway.
Council discussion Discussion ensued on the hearing held by the
Council previously on this item which was on
the work to be done in the District - no objec-
tions were voiced at that time; notification to
the property owners; condemnation of a property
owner's land to put in the improvements; policy
of the City regarding the 1911 Acts, and the
fact that this particular District under dis-
cussion has been in the planning stages for
ten years.
Property for sale Mr. Simmons said he was trying to sell the prop-
erty. It now stands as an unimproved lot. He
City Council Meeting 4 August 12, 1975
stated he paid the City for sidewalks and he
didn't get it.
Senior Civil Engineer Goldkamp commented that the
City has been trying to get Del Mar Avenue
improved for ten years. He explained the back-
ground of this District noting that the street
was originally intended to be stubbed out;
however, for better turn-around purposes, it was
decided to provide the cul-de-sac. The owner
of Lot 5 objected to granting the additional
right-of-way, and the staff did not want to
enter into condemnation proceedings at that
time since the cost would exceed the benefit
derived. Mr. Goldkamp indicated that the side-
walk was carried as far northerly as possible
under this Act.
Dan Norris Mr. Norris said he was the owner of Lot 8, and
1055 Del Mar asked why he was charged for encaseing the
Chula Vista sewer on that street and Lots 6 and 7 were not
charged.
Mr. Goldkamp explained that Mr. Norris had the
City forces put in his sewer. Of all the prop-
erty owners in the District, only Lot 5 elected
to have the contractor install his sewer
lateral which cost was added to his District
costs. The reason for the encasement is that
it is the City's policy that any sewer which
has less than four feet from the pavement
surface to the flow line of the sewer must have
concrete encasement. That is the case with Lot 8.
Mary Buchanan Mrs. Buchanan remarked that she was the owner
1060 Del Mar of Lot 4 and indicated that she was present at
Chula Vista the July 1974 hearing. It was her understanding
that sidewalks were to be provided under the 1911
Act. It was not until after the project was
completed, that they found out that some of these
people did not get any sidewalks.
Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for or
against, the hearing was declared closed.

in an attempt to reactivate a joint powers
project which was discussed in the initial
plans for the development of this park. This
proposal was met with favorable response and
the County has requested a resolution to this
effect.
Mr. Hall reported that the cost of the construc-
tion would be approximately $16,000.00 - $8,000.00
to be contributed by the County and the cost of
the labor in the amount of $8,000.00 will be
undertaken by the City.

Civic Center Manager Cole explained that a study was pre-
sented to the Council regarding the spaces in

25 of these spaces is being offered too for
Court use.

all around the Civic Center.
