The residential design proposed for the site was approved by the Design Review Committee on May 3. The applicant has submitted the plan which includes the following changes: (1) site plan considerations; (2) on-site and off-site parking; (3) building height and bulk and (4) three-way stop at Melrose and Telegraph Canyon Road.

Mr. Stan Landis, Jefferson Street, San Diego, representing the applicant, stated he met with the staff and some of the residents of the area. Most of the issues were resolved: the only problem was the ingress and egress off Melrose Avenue. Mr. Landis remarked the residents' arguments were nothing but subjective and did not address ~e real issue and asked Council to approve the plan as submitted. Council discussed the asphalt shingles - whether this was a "typical" type shingle. Mr. Landis stated it was and was approved by the Design Review Board. Mr. Gary Wetter, 883 Melrose, Chula Vista, stated that most of the issues were resolved except the access to Melrose. The residents feel this is a serious safety feature.

Councilman Malcolm felt the type of roof shingle should be the same as that required for the McMillin subdivision off "H" Street. Mr. Chuck Glass, Traffic Engineer, said he reviewed the access off Melrose Avenue and with the 70 trips per day projected from this apartment complex, he feels there will not be any significant traffic problem. MSUC (Cox/Moore) to accept the staff recommendation: to approve the revised design as submitted subject to Planning Commission Resolution PCZ-84-F.

Mrs. Debbie Reyfuse and Mr. Ernest Bray, 458 "F" Street, Chula Vista, representing the tenants of that apartment complex complained of their current Manager as being "very bad". The Manager has already evicted 32 out of 60 families living in these units. Among the complaints, the Manager uses profanity, yells at the children, will not allow white children to play with blacks and Mexicans and will not allow them to play City Council Meeting 4 August 14, 1984 on the grass etc. Councilman Malcolm noted the Council does not have the authority to do anything about this; however, he advised the residents to get an attorney. City Manager Goss stated they could also get in touch with mediation services in the County that deal with tenant-owner property issues. Councilman Scott felt this should be referred to staff on what the tenants can do - what agencies can help them with this type of problem. MSUC (Scott/Malcolm) to refer this matter to staff to find out what these tenants can do - what agencies handle this type of problem and for staff to get all the information together in one packet and give it to these people so that they will know what their rights are. In answer to Councilman Moore's question, Assistant City Attorney Gill stated the City Attorney cannot provide legal advice to private citizens; it would create a conflict of interest not only under State law but pursuant to professional ethics. He added the Attorney's Office will assist staff with this report. b. Bess Pocklington, 656 Glover Place, Chula Vista, referred to the recent newspaper article stating that tile City may relinquish future authority over the Otay Landfill. She asked that the Council reconsider this as it "frightens many of the people". Assistant City Attorney Gill explained that this was a response to the settlement of the lawsuit. The Attorney's Office has always contended that the Redevelopment Agency does not have the authority to impose conditions or restrictions upon the Otay Land Fill; therefore, the City is not giving up any right. The Owner Participation agreement goes specifically to the Redevelopmerit Agency. The City Council will still have the authority of all matters as it presently exists under State law. c. Dr. Guy Litchey II, 1652 Point Sal Court, Chula Vista referred to the Owner Participation agreement where it stated "land fill and its related uses". He asked whether this refers to facilities such as BKK or something similar. Dr. Litchey then questioned the wording "planned issues beyond land fill uses" asking what the County has in mind on this. The third question related to the 40 year life expectancy plan - would this be subject to change in the future or stay in effect for forty years. Dr. Litchey referred to the tax increment financing for projects within the County area stating his concern for projects such as Sander or another BKK plant. Councilman Scott felt the people were overly-concerned with this~ the public relations matter was a disaster. He wondered if staff could persuade the County to drop this. Assistant City Attorney Gill stated the Attorneys for the County were adamant - this provision be left in in response to the law suit. The agreement which will be coming before the Council on Thursday's meeting (Redevelopment Agency) is the second or third draft of this particular agreement modified several times to obtain the right language. City Council Meeting - 5 - August ]4, 1984 Mayor Cox asked Community Development Director DesrocHers to get together with Dr. Litchey and to respond to his questions prior to Thursday's meeting. Councilman Moore asked staff to review the concerns of the Council when this matter is reviewed by the Agency on Thursday.
