(THIRD AVENUE BETWEEN E AND G STREETS)
This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public hearing.
City Engineer Lippitt explained that this is the third year for this district.
During the first two years, the properties between E and F Streets were paying
for most of the cost for maintaining the improvements and the property owners
Council Minutes -2- July 20, 1982
between F and G Streets had very small assessments since their benefits were less.
During the next fiscal year, maintenance will begin on the project between F and G
Streets; therefore, the assessments for those properties have been upgraded to re-
flect this fact. Mr. Lippitt then explained the method of arriving at the assess-
ments.
City Clerk Fulasz stated that she has not received any written protests.
Mr. Niek Slijk, representing the Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Association,
asked (1) why the assessments were based on a square footage basis rather than a
front footage basis; (2) the Memorial Park is part of the district area and they
feel the City should pay their fair share of the assessments; (3) who is paying
the cost of watering the trees and the maintenance of the trees between G and K
Streets - if those property owners are not assessed for the maintenance of those
trees, then an equal amount being invested by the City for this maintenance should
be deducted from that portion of Third Avenue between G and E Streets; (4) what
amount of money was left over from the district last year and what happened to
that money; (5) there should be a way in which the Downtown Committee of the Chamber
could receive a report from the Finance Department regarding the district funds
so that they could monitor this.
City Engineer Lippitt and Assessment Engineer Rosetti answered the questions asked
by Mr. Slijk again explaining the assessment formula, acceptance of the Finance
Department to inform the Downtown Association of the funds collected and spent in
this District; reasons for basing the assessment on square footage; the City's
portion (approximately $250 a year) for the park.
Mrs. Kitty Raso, owner of La Bella Pizza Restaurant and the office complex at the
corner of Third Avenue and G Street, stated that her assessment (before the improve-
ments) is $1130.00 - $644 for the restaurant and $357 for the office building. She
indicated that she cannot and will not pay it; further, that she now hires a
maintenance gardener at $40 a month to take care of the trees at this corner lot.
There being no further comments, either for or against, the hearing was declared
closed.
Council discussion involved the formation of the assessments; assessments for the
vacant parcels as compared to those that have been developed; improvements will not
be put in for another six months butthe property owners are being assessed now for
the entire year; suggestion to meet with the architect and contractor to see what
can be reduced to lower the amount of the assessments.
MSUC (Cox/Moore) to refer back to staff and ask them to take a look at the assess-
ments with the thought in mind of reducing the assessments to reflect a time period
for the services that theyare going to be receiving for this landscaping district.
City Engineer Lippitt noted the time element and indicated that he would have an
oral report for the Council at the next meeting.
Council Minutes -3- July 20, 1982

side of Bay Boulevard between E and F Streets which also includes the small
park area near F Street. The maintenance of that area will be done by the City
to be financed by the maintenance district.
City Clerk Jennie Fulasz stated that she received no written protests,
In answer to Councilman Malcolm's query, Assessment Engineer Rosetti explained
the methodology in arriving at the assessments for this area (land size versus
square footage); the distances of the parcels to the main development; the
benefits derived by each parcel and the improvements being proposed.

closed.

Mayor Cox.
City Manager Cole commented that a unanimous consent item was being proposed for
this meeting for an agreement between the developer and City for the proposed
lot in order that the relocation of the fire station could be consummated. Mr.
Cole added that further consideration must be given to the agreement and he
will bring this item back at a subsequent meeting.
Principal Planner Lee explained that two years ago, the Council approved the
Sectional Planning Area Plan for this Watts' area (east of 1-805 bisected by
H Street). The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Plan so that he
can subdivide the present fire station site and relocate the fire station in
the open space area east of Ridgeback Road. Under this proposal, the applicant
will give the City the profit derived from the sale of the two homes built on
this former fire station site. Staff feels the new proposed site is acceptable
(one-half mile of the previous location) and has easy access onto H Street.
Councilman Scott questioned whether the Director of Public Safety still feels
this fire station will serve the Bonita area and asked about the time for the
fire runs. City Manager Cole said he would investigate this and report back
to the Council.
Council Minutes -4- July 20, 1982
Mr. Jim Johnson, 424 Stoneridge Court, Chula Vista, stated that the present
fire station site serves the residential areas much better than the proposed

Improvement Program. The traffic signal design combines the eastern driveway
to the Black Angus Restaurant and the western driveway to Lucky Byers Trailer
Sales into one driveway. This design provides a conventional intersection leg
to the north. The reconstruction of these driveways as one driveway will
eliminate the potential for confusing conflicts and so improve intersection
safety. As part of the driveway reconstruction, improvements will be made on
private property. Agreements between the City and each property owner for
reimbursing construction costs to the City for work on private property and
providing easements across the new driveway to each property owners has been
executed.

traffic signal at E and Woodlawn. Staff reported that since the FY82/83
budget has not yet been adopted and some of these projects may require an award
of contract prior to the adoption of the budget, they are recommending that
the money be appropriated at this time. The recommendation is for (1) $10,000
to GT-130 - widen Telegraph Canyon Road, Hilltop to Melrose; (2) $30,000 to
GT-131 - widen Palomar Street, Industrial to Walnut; and (3) $60,000 to TS-09 -

19: REPORT ON REQUESTED CHANGE IN THE ASSESSMENT FOR OPEN SPACE DISTRICT NO. 4
(Continued from 7/13/82 meeting) (Director of Parks & Recreation)
On June 22, 1982, Council directed the City Engineer to spread the assessments
for Open Space Districts Nos. 1 through 10. Subsequently, Open Space No. 4
Homeowners Association requested a decrease in their fund balance. The Director
of Parks & Recreation is recommending that Council authorize the reduction by
$17,000 in Open Space No. 4 fund balance thereby deducting that amount from the
required 1982/83 district assessments.
Mrs. Phyllis Altomare, 1205 Fallbrook Court, ChulaVista, said she called Council-
woman McCandliss and Councilman Moore who came out and looked over the area in
question. Mrs. Altomare declared that this area has been grossly neglected;
the property owners exuberantly taxed; they receive little or no service for
their open space area; they could have legal recourse against the City; want to
find out what is happening to the surplus money ($27,000) left in their
district; the assessment is unfair; it is unconstitutional; the residents have
to take care of their own individual areas; the problems stem from poor manage-
ment; the Contract Coordinator may have been pre-picked; his qualifications
should be made public.
Council discussion ensued with staff answering questions as to the fund balance
and the lowering of the assessments for this district; the duties of the
contract coordinator; no water is provided for the natural vegetation; the
need for someone to oversee the entire open space districts; the salary proposed
for the contractor seems high; comparable salary to City personnel - supervisors
range.
Also speaking against the assessments and themany problems encountered by the
property owners in this district were Spencer Harris, 3840 Palm Drive, Bonita
and Victor Resendez, 3932 Palm Avenue, Bonita.
Jim Johnson, 424 Stoneridge Court and President of the Stoneridge Homeowners
Association, stated that their Association was formed in 1974. The assessment
increase was noticed to the property owners about one year ago and several
meetings of the homeowners were called and this matter discussed. Detailed
reports of the ten Open Space Districts were received from the City along with
how the assessments were determined and the money spent. Mr. Johnson added that
the proposed contractor is one in which the homeowners have given approval;
further, they want $17,000 ~educted from their assessments and that $10,000 be
left in the fund.

City Council Meeting -7- July 20, 1982
Items #14 and #19 - Open Space District No. 4 - Continued
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MALCOLM, the reading of the text was waived
by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
MSUC (Scott/McCandliss) to accept the staff recommendations on item #19 (re-
duction of $17,000 in Open Space No. 4 fund balance and reduction in the
required assessments).
MSUC (Moore/Cox) staff to review the number of concerns involving the Open Space
District and make a report to the Council:
1. Establishing a maximum fund balance based on fiscal year overall
estimates rather than coming to a Council because there is excess
money in it - they can do it automatically - a motion can be made
(by Council) and put this into effect. This maximum fund balance
should not exceed 10%.
2. Fair share costs on improvements and repairs. There is an area
in District 4 that has a concrete -lined ditch that is for all
practical purposes a vertical ditch off Greenwood Court - this
ditch is strictly a street drainage that goes through an open
space district and this particular open space district paid a
fee of about $4800 to have this brow ditch repaired - this ditch
was not designed to protect the homeowners' district. Staff
to review this and see if there should be a fair share cost
in that repair - or should the homeowners pay any cost.
3. The Long Canyon natural drainage runs down along there and goes
through a very short section of the open space district and
also runs Acacia and Palm and there has been improvement on that.
What is the fair share the homeowners should pay for drainage
that flows naturally out of an area through 50' or 60' of open
space in Chula Vista and back out into the County again.
4. Someplace in the legal technicality there is an ordinance to
appoint a five-man advisory group in the homeowners association
to get them started. This should be considered and brought back
to Council.
5. Individual Homeowners Landscaping. There is a verbal authority
to go from the normal property line which is the landscaped plot
to go 20' further into the open space district and put in the
fire protection, low profile, low-watering succulent of some type.
Since this is a verbal thing, perhaps it should be put out as
an ordinance.
MS (Moore/Cox) when any new open space districts are proposed, that an
ad hoc committee be formed including but not limited to one Councilmember
and appropriate staff representatives and, if possible, the president
or past president of a large homeowners association be on that committee.
City Council Meeting -8- July 20, 1982
Open Space District No. 4 Continued
Council discussion followed regarding the charges to the ad hoc committee;
City Attorney Lindberg listed the options available to the Council for the
open space areas; time element involved in meeting with the homeowners
association; compliance with the subdivision map; staff having more expertise
than the homeowners in checking the plans and maps; wait until the new
contractor comes on board and see what he does.
Councilman Moore withdrew his motion; Mayor Cox withdrew the second.
15. RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT FOR THE MANAGEMENT, SUPERVISION AND
OPERATION OF THE CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE
(Assistant City Manager)
