RESOLUTION 14075 APPROVING MANUFACTURERS GROCERY OUTLET AT
651 L STREET
This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing
was declared open.
Director of Krempl reported the recommendation of the Planning
Commission to approve the request to establish a manufacturers
grocery outlet at the Ratner's Clothing complex which includes
several thousand square feet of light industrial floor space and
associated parking areas on 15.5 acres of land.
Mayor Cox requested a condition be included to assure the
asphalted area between the sidewalk and the leased space and which
is broken up by a loading area be included in the landscaping.
Charles Tiano, Ratner Corporation, 705 Twelfth Avenue, San Diego,
reported the corporation is presently reviewing the possibility of
landscaping the entire area mentioned by Mayor Cox, which decision
is pending until they know the requirements of a future tenant.
Secondly, Mr. Tiano reported the Corporation's desire to landscape
along "L" Street rather than the parking lot.
Councilman Malcolm obtained Director Krempl's confirmation the
parking requirements are adequate for the proposed use.
MAYOR COX OFFERED THE RESOLUTION which was read by title, the
reading of the text waived by unanimous consent and approved

activities. Dr. Baumgarten explained the services proposed to be

clients.
There being no others to speak either for or against the subject
the public hearing was closed.

in the Mobilehome Industry. Mayor Cox accepted the check for
$2,000 stating the appreciation of City Council and immediately
presented the check to Director of Finance Christopher.
MINUTES 9 May 2, 1989
PULLED ITEMS
3d. CONCERNS REGARDING SINGLE CONDUITS PLACED IN SERVICE TRENCH AT
RANCHO DEL REY - Martin Altbaum, President, Ultronics, Inc.,
253 Third Avenue, Chula Vista 92010
Martin Altbaum, ULTRONICS INC., 253 Third Avenue, 92010, reported
the importance of this item because of the very few cities that
have two franchise cable operations and stated the previously
requested trench ordinance would have foreclosed this problem.
McMillin Corporation has decided to put in the one pipe to be
shared by both companies; a separate 1" inexpensive pipe for each
cable company would prevent any problems in the future as other
companies have agreed to do. He reported Cal Oliver, Engineering
Director for ULTRONICS, 253 Third Avenue, 92010, is here to answer
technical questions.
Ed Elliott, Representative for the Rancho del Rey/McMillin
communities, presented a brief background stating he would like to
bring this to a possible quick conclusion. He feels this request
should be referred to the Building Department of the City for a
standard method of operation.
Councilman Malcolm stressed the importance of affording price
competition and services for the citizens and requested a
commitment from Mr. Elliott that the Rancho del Rey/McMillin
Communities will give every franchisee the same right or
opportunity to go into the conduit or pipe and get to every house;
Mr. Elliott confirmed his commitment states to the front of the
property rather than the house, which is the point of
disagreement. Mr. Elliott also stated, however, when the City of
Chula Vista sets a standard the Companies will abide by that and
no trenches will be closed to prevent this.
Councilman Moore questioned the method of wiring the older
sections of Chula Vista for cable TV. Martin Altbaum, ULTRONICS,
reported his company has wired up to 900 homes/month which include
141 single family homes and are working toward Naples Street at
this time for the reason that they must reach the Rancho del Sur
before the development goes underground.
MOTION
MS (Cox/Nader) to refer the item to staff to come back on the
first Meeting in June with a recommendation whether to modify the
Development Ordinance to accommodate two or three competing
companies.
For the record, Mr. Elliott stated his agreement that, thirty days
from now if the action of City Council has modified the
requirements, McMillin Corporation is agreeable to adopt those
standards for its upcoming projects.
MINUTES lO May 2, 1989
To answer Councilman Nader's questions, City Attorney Harron
confirmed that after a legal analysis the City is allowed to pass
reasonable regulations to protect the public welfare and,
secondly, maps cannot be conditioned at the Final Map stage.
VOTE ON THE MOTION
passed unanimously.
10. RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BIDS AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR
TRAFFIC SIGNAL MODIFICATIONS AT THE
INTERSECTION OF FOURTH AVENUE AND L
STREET; AND TRAFFIC SIGNAL INSTALLATION AT
EAST L STREET AND MONSERATE AVENUE
(Director of Public Works)
Staff recommended Council accept the bids and award the contract
to low bidder, ESS Corporation of Phoenix, Arizona, in the amount
of $90,415 to install left turn phasing at Fourth Avenue and "L"
Street and to install traffic signals at East "L" Street and
Monserate Avenue and to perform related work at both
intersections. It is further recommended the modification of
traffic signals at Fifth Avenue and "H" Street to provide left
turn phasing be deleted from the contract.
Councilwoman McCandliss questioned the decision of staff and,
since the City has a good low bidder, the left turn phasing at
Fifth and "H" Street should not be deleted. Director of Public
Works Lippitt reported that as a general policy staff does not
like to put in the turn phasing until necessary.
Traffic Engineer Rosenberg reported the warrants which are based
on the delay of cars turning left and the number of cycles
measured within an hour.
MOTION
MS IMcCandliss/Nader) to amend the Resolution to include the
project at Fifth Avenue at "H" Street.
Councilman Malcolm reported his opposition because the left turn
phasing at Fifth and "H" is not needed. To answer Councilman
Nader, Traffic Engineer Rosenberg reported the left turn phasing
will eventually be needed in staff's opinion and when the property
is developed on the north side, channelization or management of
traffic will be necessary to avoid conflicts. Council discussed
the cost of the projects and the funding sources.
VOTE ON THE MOTION
Motion failed. (Councilwoman McCandliss voted aye; Mayor Cox and
Councilmen Nader and Malcolm voted no; Councilman Moore abstained
because he lives in the area.)
MAYOR COX OFFERED THE RESOLUTION which was read by title, the
reading of the text waived by unanimous consent and approved.
ICouncilwoman McCandliss voted no; Councilman Moore abstained.)

The nine final maps of Tract 88-1 consist of a total of 669 single
family residential lots and a total of 25 lots for open space,
public utilities and other public uses. It is recommended Council
approve the proposed street names by virtue of their acceptance as
public streets in conjunction with approval of the subdivision
maps.
Councilman Nader questioned the amount of grading, to the top of
the ridge along the west side of Otay Lakes Road, and his
recollection that open space was to remain in that portion. City
Engineer Swanson reported the developer graded in the area to
create the subdivision above and to create Otay Lakes Road;
additionally, from Avenida del Rey to the east a drainage channel
was created because of the slopes and the roadway. The graded
area will be replanted and remain as open space as required by the
subdivision ordinance and acceptable to the landscape architect;
the rest of the area to the north will be left native.
Ed Elliott, Rancho del Rey Partnership, reported "H" Street was
the first threshold, the work with the State for improvements at
Route 805 and "H" which are in progress; and the completion of
Otay Lakes Road, which must be completed before occupancy of the
Phase III and Phase IV of the project. Phase II, Unit 11, is tied
to another threshold and all thresholds are in progress and will
be completed on schedule to coincide with the map process. He
further reported the graded area will be restored as open space
with drought tolerant materials but it will take approximately two
years and a watering process to establish new growth as has been
accomplished previously in other developments.
MAYOR COX OFFERED THE RESOLUTIONS a. THROUGH h. which were read by
titles, the reading of the texts waived by unanimous consent.
Councilman Malcolm stated he would vote no on the resolutions
because of his disappointment that the developer did not take
advantage of the natural land forms when placing the homes.
Councilman Nader reported the areas in which he was not
satisfied: (1) The open space corridor on Otay Lakes Road and how
it will look when the project is completed and (2) he is not sure
that the spirit of joined access for all franchise utilities has
been met.

VOTE ON THE RESOLUTIONS
Motion passed. (Councilmembers Nader and Malcolm voted no.)
12. REPORT ON REQUEST FOR ENCROACHMENT PERMIT BY
KAMEL HINDI AT 661 REDLANDS PLACE
(Director of Public Works)
The encroachment permit is requested to maintain an existing
retaining wall which was constructed in the city's open space lot
at the rear of this parcel. The item was considered by Council on
April 18 at which time the report was accepted to deny the request
but it was later learned that Mr. Hindi did not receive his notice
of the meeting.
Kamel Hindi, 661 Redlands Place, stated that when he purchased the
property in April 1988, the former owner had a wood wall and
markers to point out the boundaries of the property. When he
called City Hall to question, he was told no permit was required
to build a 3'wall; later he was approached by City personnel with
information to the contrary and later received a letter advising
him to request an encroachment permit.
Parks and Recreation Director Mollinedo reported the item was
brought to the City's attention by a complaint of a neighbor. The
Open Space Coordinator investigated the matter and found a permit
was never requested for the construction which was under way and
which was continued for a deck over the retaining wall which is
actually in the open space.
Open Space Coordinator Chew reported staff did not monitor the
construction of the wall so it is conjectural where the fill for
the retaining wall came from; however, the slope has obviously
been altered.
Rod F. Davis, 653 Redlands Place, Bonita 92002, stated he knew the
original owner of this property and reported the lo9 wall was
created for a horseshoe pit. His objection lies in three areas:
this is an "eyesore" which affects property values, voices of
people recreating at the edge of the canyon creates an offensive
volume of noise in the neighbors yards and, if granted, others
will follow until no open space remains.
Wendy Lyon, 657 Redlands Place, Bonita, 92002, a neighbor of Mr.
Hindi, stated her concern that there is no structural safety and
there is the annoyance created at the edge and through their
fence. These concerns existed before it was known it encroached
on to the open space.
Doug Thimm, 669 Redlands Place, reported that he called the City
when the construction began and was told it would be
