6. PUBLIC HEARING VARIANCE ZAV-6-26: REQUEST TO INCREASE
LOT COVERAGE FROM 40% TO 61% AND BUILDING
HEIGHT FROM 2.5 TO 3.0 STORIES AT 165
MURRAY STREET - J. ANTHONY RASO (Director
of Planning)
This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox declared
the public hearing open.
In his written report, Planning Director Krempl stated this
application was filed in order to accommodate an expanded single
family dwelling and detached accessory building on the lot in
question. The three-story, 9,767 sq. ft. single family dwelling
(which has already been framed and sheathed) would cover 4,085 sq.
ft. or 46.2% of the lot. The third story has resulted due to the
installation of flooring and direct stair access within the
otherwise defined attic space. The existing single-story
accessory building located at the rear of the lot (20'x65') covers
1,300 sq. ft. or an additional 14.7% of the lot.
Minutes 7 May 6, 1986
Director Krempl noted facts which must be found in order to grant
a variance and recommended Council concur with the recommendation
of the Planning Commission (to deny the variance).
Assistant Planner Lee narrated a slide presentation which
included: footprint of the structure; total building covers over
40,000 square feet; building permit was issued in error and
construction allowed to begin on the project; the ordinance allows
maximum of 35 feet as measured to the mid-point with a 2-1/2 foot
height limitation; "stop work" order is in effect on the project;
floor area ratio ordinance becomes effective in two weeks which
would limit square footage to under 4,000 square feet; the City is
not a party to the CC&R's; accessory building was constructed
without a permit; numbers on the plans submitted were not "run
out" because they were not shown to scale; if the accessory
building had been shown on the original plans, discovery of the
excessive lot coverage could have been made.
Director of Planning Krempl noted the lot coverage was at about
45% for single-story level, or 39%, if the footprint was correct
and the accessory building had been shown.
Mr. Joe Raso, 165 Murray Street, Chula Vista 92011, testified
that the Planning Department was informed of the existence of the
accessory building when the plans were first submitted to the
City; the City was fully aware before construction began that the
existing structure was not correct as depicted on the plans; did
not know a permit was required to build a patio; was under the
impression that the structure was legal; was informed recently
that the height of the building is still legal; apologized for not
"doing his homework" but thought his only responsibility was to
check the height limitation and setbacks on the plans; tried to
withdraw the variance yesterday; will lower the height of the
house.
Director of Planning Krempl reported staff's advice to the
applicant (in order to comply with th'e Code) was to remove the
accessory building, modify the building to conform to the 40% lot
coverage, remove flooring, and lower the height of the house.
Assistant City Attorney Gill concurred that the house as presently
constructed is illegal; there is still a problem with the current
three-story height; the applicant's concerns don't take into
consideration the City's ordinances on floor area ratio; plans
submitted after April 16, 1986 must meet the 28 foot height
limitation.
The following individuals supported the variance: Kitty Raso, 155
Murray Street, Chula Vista; Kathleen Orth, 165 Murray Street;
Edward Wochaski, 1194 Napa Avenue; Jeffrey J. Hughes, 859
Halecrest Drive; Kevin Cohanig, 938 Anita Court; Bob Currie, ABC
Design, 1770 Evergreen, San Diego 92106;.
Minutes - 8 - May 6, 1986
These individuals expressed the following: applicant wants to
please his neighbors; the house was built legally; an open house
was held and neighbors were invited to offer input regarding
construction; questioned who will pay demolition costs for the
structure; garage existed prior to applicant moving into the
house; mistakes were made by both the City and Raso; Raso is
trying to comply with the City; Raso has a right to build what he
wants.
The following individuals opposed the approval of the variance:
Irene Foelschow, 170 Halsey Street; Lois Myers, 162 Halsey Street;
Michael Burgess, 166 Halsey Street; Helen Wadsworth, 175 Murray
Street.
Their concerns included: structure towers over one residence
located 30 feet from the Raso backyard; dislike of the building;
petition circulated by Raso; privacy of surrounding property
owners has been destroyed; the sundeck located on the second story
impedes the privacy of neighboring backyard overlooking swimming
pool; property values in the neighborhood have been depreciated;
City denied permit for two-story room addition in the same
neighborhood; garage conversion did not exist prior to Raso moving
in.
There being no further testimonies either for or against, the
public hearing was closed.
MS (Malcolm/McCandliss) to uphold the Planning Commission's denial
of the variance.
Councilwoman McCandliss, noting the inconformity of the structure
to the rest of the neighborhood, requested Mr. Raso volunteer to
submit his plans to the'Design Review Committee for evaluation.
Mayor Cox concurred with previous comments adding the ultimate
solution would be to make the housing modifications consistent
with the City's existing zoning ordinances and at the same time
something the Raso's can be proud of and which would be compatible
with the rest of the neighborhood.
The motion to deny the variance passed unanimously.
MS (McCandliss/Campbell) that Mr. Raso be asked to voluntarily
submit (his plans) to the City Design Review Committee.
Council discussion ensued concerning the need for a motion if the
applicant agrees to the request.
Councilwoman McCandliss withdrew her motion and the second
concurred.
Minutes - 9 - May 6, 1986
MSUC (McCandliss/Moore) to refer this to staff for a report back
on how practicable it would be to require a field inspection on
the small percentage of plans that are so close to the maximum
(square footage) allowed.
In response to Mayor Cox' question, Director Krempl reiterated
staff's recommendations for compliance:
1. Remove accessory building;
2. Modification of the existing building either by taking a
portion of the building off the rear, or front, or altering
the interior to open it up so the building is 40% lot
coverage;
3. In order to not have a third story, sheathing should be cut
out;
4. Building height cut down to 35 feet as originally submitted.
MS (Cox/Moore) to ask staff to work with the property owner in
order to institute these modifications to make additions to 165
Murray Street consistent with the City's zoning ordinances.
Mr. Raso responded he had offered to lower the structure to 28
feet but there may be a problem since the footings had already
been poured.
SUBSTITUTE MOTION
MS (Malcolm/McCandliss) prior to any negotiations and issuance of
permits that the item come back for approval and (direct) staff to
work with Mr. Raso.
Discussion on the motion followed concerning: permit has already
been issued--approval would be on modified plans; continuing
negotiations would require that a variance be granted; concurrent
readvertising by the Planning Commission and the City Council for
a hearing to discuss any new information presented by Mr. Raso.
Councilman Malcolm withdrew his substitute motion and the second
agreed.
It was moved by Councilman Moore and concurred by the Council
rather that schedule another public hearing that Council
reconsider its previous action.

TO RENEW CLAUSE IN OPEN SPACE CONTRACTS
(Director of Parks & Recreation)
On June 21, 1983, Council requested the Parks and Recreation
Department to reevaluate the option to renew policy regarding the
rebidding of Open Space Districts. The study done at that time
determined that annual bidding would be cost effective by
providing more competitive maintenance bids each year and
attracting larger numbers of bidding contractors. Based on the
Department's recommendation, Council eliminated the option to
renew policy, effective during FY 84-85. The new policy was to be
monitored, and a report submitted in two years regarding the
effects of this new policy.
It was recommended Council change the current policy of annual
bidding and reinstate a modified option to renew clause for Open
Space Maintenance contracts.

Mesa for ~161,434. (TwO other bids submitted but did not meet
specifications.)
Minutes - 17 - May 6, 1986
Tri-Co Floors' bid included a requirement that the Library be
closed for two weeks for them to ensure completion of the
installation prior to July 4. They propose to work 24 hours a day
including weekends. The Library Director recommended closing the
Library starting approximately June 15 for the two weeks as this
is the only guarantee that the project can be completed by July 4.
Funds needed for the carpet are ~161,434 and are provided for in
Account 600-6000-RS58 ($99,000) and 600-6000-CLSA6 (~67,000).

10. RESOLUTION 12462 ACCEPTING BIDS AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR
OFFSET DUPLICATING SYSTEM (Director of
Finance)
At its meeting of October 15, 1985, the City Council deferred
accepting bids and awarding a contract for an offset duplicating
system in order to provide representatives of both bidders--AB
Dick Company and Multigraphics Corporation --an opportunity to
respond to staff's report. More specifically, the bidders were to
be provided an opportunity to address the cost-effectiveness of
their offset duplicating system with regard to the cost of
producing the masters, the double-sheet detection system,
maintenance service agreement, and other issues raised in staff's
report.
The cost of the Multigraphics system of ~46,461.40 is within the
amount budgeted in FY 1985-86 of ~52,000.
The recommendation was that the City Council award the contract to
Multigraphics Corporation.
Councilwoman McCandliss commented that staff could have
sole-sourced this report since Multigraphics appeared to have all
the features required for the printing operations.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MALCOLM, the reading of the text
was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
17. REPORT PETITION FROM RESIDENTS OF OLEANDER
AVENUE REGARDING TRAFFIC CONTROLS ON THAT

Minutes - 18 May 6, 1986
At the December 10, 1985 meeting, Council referred a petition from
Mr. Tom Turner and other residents on Oleander Avenue to staff and
the Safety Commission for report and recommendation. The
residents requested at least two traffic signals and/or three-way
stop installations on Oleander between Telegraph Canyon Road and
Naples Avenue. This matter was presented to the Safety Commission
at their regular meeting of February 13, 1986, who recommended to
concur with staff's recommendation to not install traffic control
devices at this time.
It was recommended Council accept the report and recommendation
that no additional traffic control devices be installed at this
time.
Mr. Tom Turner, 1042 Oleander Avenue, Chula Vista 92011,
requested traffic instruments, not traffic signals, be placed on
Oleander noting Oleander measures 36 feet in width the entire
length.
Traffic Engineer Glass commented that the section near Jamul Court
is 36 feet and other sections down Oleander widen to 40 feet.
Council discussion followed concerning the need for some type of
traffic controls in the area, particularly stop signs at Jamul.
MS (McCandliss/Malcolm) to place stop signs at Jamul.
Discussion on the motion followed concerning who should designate
locations for signs.
SUBSTITUTE MOTION
MSUC (McCandliss/Malcolm) to tentatively designate the
intersection at Jamul Court and refer to staff for a report back
to Council.
Mayor Cox clarified the motion: to refer the recommendation of Mr.
Turner to install 3-way stop signs, provide double line striping,
and refer this to staff (to come back next week).
The motion for tentative approval passed unanimously.
18. REPORT MELLO-ROOS FINANCING FOR SCHOOLS IN THE
EASTLAKE PROJECT (Continued from April
22, 1986)(Director Of Public Works/City

Mayor Cox announced under the advice of the City Attorney, he and
Councilman Malcolm would abstain on this item due to a possible
conflict of interest involving their potential purchase of
property in the EastLake area.
Minutes - 19 - May 6, 1986
At the March 11, 1986 meeting of the City Council, staff was
requested to prepare a report and recommendation regarding
possible opposition to the use of Mello-Roos financing for the
EastLake Development Project.
The EastLake Public Facilities Financing Plan suggests the
formation of a Community Facilities District under the Mello-Roos
legislation for the financing of the parks, water and fire
station, and other public facilities including schools in the
proposed EastLake development.
MSC (Moore/Campbell) to accept the report (Mayor Cox and
Councilman Malcolm abstained).
19. REPORT REGARDING WRITTEN COMMUNICATION AND
PETITION FROM RESIDENTS OF EAST SAN
MIGUEL DRIVE REQUESTING TRAFFIC CONTROLS
AND SPEED BUMPS TO REDUCE SPEED AND
DECREASE ITS USE AS A THROUGH STREET
(Director Of Public Works/City Engineer)
At the February 11, 1986 meeting, Council referred a petition from
the residents of East San Miguel Drive to staff and the Safety
Commission for report and recommendation. The residents request
installation of a three-way stop and speed bumps at East Sierra
Way and Cuyamaca Avenue.
The Safety Commission, at its April 10, 1986, meeting recommended
concurrence with staff's recommendation to not install speed bumps
or a three-way stop at this time. The Safety Commission
recommended to install two (2) curve warning signs and a 25 mph
speed limit sign.
The recommendation was that Council accept this report: that
neither speed bumps nor a three-way stop be installed at this time.
Councilman Campbell stated he received a request to defer this
item for one week.
Ralph Needers, 81 East San Miguel Drive, Chula Vista, remarked on
the staff report which provided estimates on speed rates and
percentage of speeders in the area; possibility of head-on
collisions every day when motorists cross the center divider line;
as a result of previous car accidents, trees have been uprooted
and damage to other vehicles on the street have occurred;
insurance rates have increased to homeowners due to these
accidents; recommended 3-way stop sign to slow down traffic; the
street is being used by motorists as a short cut to "beat" the
light on a nearby street.
MS (Campbell/McCandliss) to defer this item for one week (May 13).
Minutes 20 - May 6, 1986
Councilman Moore noted the elementary school located in the area
where parents drop off their children. This may be an
appropriate location (East Palomar) for a traffic sign.
Council discussion ensued with Mayor Cox noting the motion would
include: have staff evaluate the placement of a 3-way stop sign at
East Palomar or East Sierra Way.
The motion to continue the item for one week passed unanimously.
21. REPORT REQUEST BY STAFFORD GARDNER DEVELOPMENT
COMPANY FOR TEMPORARY FLOWER STREET
CLOSURE (Continued from April 22, 1986)
(Director of Public Works/City Engineer)
At its meeting of April 22, 1986, the City Council referred a
request by Stafford Gardner Development Company, for a temporary
closure of Flower Street, to staff for investigation. Council
also directed that area residents be notified so they may voice
any concerns over the requested closure. A review of traffic
conditions in this area indicates that Flower Street is currently
serving a useful purpose for the neighborhood and should not be
closed.
It was recommended Council deny the request to temporarily close
Flower Street.
Mayor Cox noted that Ralph Swanson had submitted his support for
the staff recommendation to not close the street.
Councilman Malcolm suggested re-docketing this item to have the
City Council consider a partial closure of the street (8 to 3:30
p.m.) and assign times the street should not be closed (during
peak traffic hours).
Don Gardner, 1497 Jay-Ken Way, Chula Vista noted excessive speed
traveled on Flower Street; therefore, he suggested construction
could be expedited if the City agrees to close off the street.
The following individuals spoke in support of the request for
temporary street closure: Wayne Copp, 12 Casselman Court; Albert
King, 192 Corte Maria; Mr. Gadney, 193 Corte Maria; Ella King, 192
Corte Maria.
Their comments included: "E" Street and First are misaligned by
14 feet, dangerous area, particularly around the school; trailer
trucks are using Flower Street; closure would be an asset to
construction; suggested developer provide flashing overhead lights
to slow down traffic and install speed bumps.
Minutes 21 - May 6, 1986
Donald Culver, 191 Corte Maria, Chula Vista, opposed the temporary
street closure, questioning whose responsibility it is for rodents
that appeared when the developer cleared the site.
Traffic Engineer Glass added Sam Snyder, Principal of Rosebank
Elementary School, opposed the temporary street closure.
Council discussion followed concerning closing the street from
7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for 5 days a week; staff to provide
information necessary for proper signage; protection necessary to
surrounding residents against drivers traveling down Corte Maria;
suggested temporary closure for 90 days because of problems
associated with daily removal of barricades, etc.; sufficient
justification presented tonight to grant the closure; closure is
for the convenience of the developer but the public still uses it;
safety should be concern of the Council; citizens on "E" Street
are endangered more than the developer is endangering the public
on Flower Street.
MSUC (Malcolm/Moore) to allow a temporary closure for 90 days
between the hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and that the staff
come up with conditions necessary for proper signage and so forth
and that the property owner be required to comply with those
conditions.
Councilman Campbell suggested closing the entire street for 90
days except for the weekends. Mayor Cox discussed the heavy
trucks coming down through Flower Street and any damage to the
road should be repaired by those truck companies.
Councilwoman McCandliss wanted more information coming next week
on how the closure will be done.
MSUC (Malcolm/Moore) to refer the intersections of First and "E"
and Corte Maria and "E' to the Safety Commission for a report back
for an evaluation on moving traffic in and out of First Avenue.
In response to the Council's questions, Traffic Engineer Glass
stated he will be coming back to the Council within the next two
weeks on the chip seal program for that area between First and
Flower Street.
Mayor Cox noted that the traffic signal at Flower and "E" Street
will be put in by the first of June.
23. REPORT REQUESTING THE APPROVAL OF THE CONCEPT OF
A PARK RESERVATION SYSTEM (Director of
Parks & Recreation)
Minutes - 22 May 6, 1986
Director of Parks and Recreation Mollinedo explained that a major
problem identified in the Rohr-Sweetwater Park Master Plan Study
was the lack of control and supervision of the Rohr-Sweetwater
Park area during heavy weekend usage. A picnic reservation policy
combined with departmental staffing at parks during weekends and
holiday periods will greatly reduce many of the problems
presently occurring in our parks. The Parks and Recreation
Commission endorsed and approved the concept of a Park Reservation
System for the Rohr-Sweetwater Park.
He recommended Council approve the concept of a Park Reservation
System on a trial basis to determine the effectiveness of such a
policy.
Assistant City Attorney Gill stated he was concerned that the
Director of Parks and Recreation would be rejecting applications
based without any criteria. Director Mollinedo stated he would
follow a policy outline. He would like to start this on Memorial
Day and come back to the Council before the month of July for a
definite policy for approval. He asked for a 90-day trial period.
MSUC (Cox/Malcolm) to accept staff recommendation for a 90-day
trial period and for a report back to the City Council.
