10. City Council held a public hearing to consider a recommendation of the
Planning Commission to extend the time to submit the final parcel map for
' minor subdivision no. 79 -114, to create two lots from one lot at 2106 Loomis
Street and 416 Buena Vista Avenue; R -1 zone; John Hough, subdivider.
Henry Engen, Community Development Director, stated that the Planning Commission
recommended that the City Council grant.a 12 -month time extension to file the
final map for minor subdivision 79 -114, and also the Planning Commission
recommended that the City Council amend condition no. 1 of the original
resolution approving the tentative map to allow deferral of park in -lieu fees
and all other previous conditions of tentative map approval.
City Council discussed with the Community Development Director the recommendation
dealing with the park in -lieu fees on this second lot being split. It was the
feeling that this was an R -1 zone property, two houses already existed on the
property, the lot was just being split in half. They did not see any reason
to encumber the property with this extra cost.
Councilwoman Billig stated she was opposed to the Planning Commission recommendation
as she would support a complete waiver of the park in -lieu fee at this time
and not defer to some future date.
Several members of the council agreed with Councilwoman Billig's comment. And
on motion of Councilwoman Billig, seconded by Councilman Dunin, the following
resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 4239 (1980 Series), a resolution

11. City Council held a public hearing to consider the recommendation of
the Planning Commission to ask the Board of Supervisors to impose a moratorium
on development in the airport area pending preparation of a Specific Plan and
Environmental Impact Report for the airport area.
Henry Engen, Community Development Director, reviewed for the council's information
the report of the county's environmental director bringing to the supervisors'
attention of the tremendous expanded, accelerated growth in the general airport
area without any direction or.plan or environmental report. The recommended that
the county prepare a specific plan which would deal with drainage, traffic
circulation, alternate use, development intensity, development standards and
improvement standards. The detailed traffic analysis and hydraulogy work would
be part of the environmental impact work. The county's environmental director
also stated there were three ways the program could be done: 1) Plan to be
prepared by the county staff; 2) county could hire a consultant to undertake
the preparation of the plan; 3) or a task force could be developed consisting
of the county planning and engineering departments, as well as city staff,
' property owners and other. He estimates the cost to be in the area of $45- 50,000.
The county representatives recommended that the county proceed with the specific
plan utilizing county personnel and reimbursement of costs from the area based
on a direct benefit.
Henry Engen continued that the area to be studied was an area approximately 1,100
acres. He urged the council to adopt the resolution prepared by the city Planning
Commission recommended that the county prepare a specific plan and an E.I.R. for
the airport area and that the County Board of Supervisors establish a moratium
on all development projects in the airport area until the specific plan and E.I.R.
could be adopted by the county. He then reviewed the areas the plan would
cover, such as the land use, transportation planning, flood control, utility
planning, design standards and portions of the E.I.R. which would include
community plans and goals, population distribution and growth, land use, public
services and utilities, air qualities, surface water flow and quality,

archaeological resources, aesthetics, energy, and compatibility with the airport.
The City Planning Commission also recommended that the city participate in
the preparation of specific plan by authorizing the city staff to work with
the county staff and to make any records they have available to the county area.
They also recommended that the $5,000 in the 1980 -81 budget for the city's zone
study of the airport area be offered to the County Board of Supervisors to help
defray their cost of the plan. Finally, the Planning Commission wished the
City Council to inform the Supervisors that the City Planning Commission and
Council should become involved in public hearings for the development of this
area after the specific plan is prepared before the Supervisors handle their t
hearing.
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing open.
Vic Montgomery, representing the Airport Area Property Owners' Association, informed
the City Council that in no time during the hearings, did the supervisors contemplate
placing a moratorium on any development in the area to be studied in the specific
plan. He stated this was a city- inspired proposal by either city staff or city
planning commission. He stated the principlas for whom he works, agreed that a
preparation of a specific plan and an E.I.R. for the airport were needed.
He and his principals would support a task force approach.consisting of property
owners, county staff and city staff to prepare the spcific plan and E.I.R. He
did not feel an out of county planning expert was needed to develop this plan.
The Airport Area Property Owners' Association asked: 1) that the council amend
the resolution to drop the moratorium and; 2) not bring in an out -of -town
consultant to develop a plan.
Ken Smee, property owner, agreed. He did not believe there was a need for a moratoria
and also felt there was no need for an outside consultant. He felt the county staff
could prepare a specific plan and E.I.R. with the coopration of property owners
and the city.
Don Ross, property owner, was opposed to placing a moratorium on development in
the airport area as he felt it would take 2 -3 years to prepare a specific plan and
E.I.R. He did not feel this was fair to property owners in the area. He question
some of the statistics of the county environmental coordinator on the so- called
"crisis" in the valley.
Dottie Conner, League of Women Voters, stated that the League cannot take a
position on the moratorium. She felt they would support a specific plan and
an EIR for the area in order that the City Council and the Board of Supervisors
really know what's happening or what could happen in the area.
James Philbin, Chairman of the Airport Land Use Commission, spoke in support of
• specific plan but he was opposed to the city considering the imposition of
• moratorium on development in the area. He felt it was unfair to property owners
who were trying to develop their own land. He would oppose and out-of -town
consultant. He also offered full support of the Airport Land Use Commission
in developing a plan.
Russ Johnson was in support of property rights and free enterprise. He felt that
the moratorium was a wrong way to control growth.
Joe Cardoza, opposed to a moratorium on development. He stated he could no
longer farm his property due to soil conditions and would like to develop housing
on his land and has been turned down by the county. He asked the council
to consider his problems and his neighbors' problems.
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing closed.
Councilman Dunin stated he supported the development of the new lines of
communications between the county and city. He would support the preparation
of a specific plan and EIR by a consultant paid for by the city, county and
property owners. He would oppose the imposition of a moratorium. He opposed
to signing the resolution prepared by the Planning Commission to the Supervisors
but felt a letter should be sent accepting cooperation with the county staff
on the plan.
Councilwoman Billig stated she was in support of the preparation of a specific
plan and an EIR for this area. She felt it was extremely important to have
this information before both the Board of Supervisors and City Council. She
applauded the cooperation between the county staff and supervisors and the
city staff. She would oppose the request for a moritorium at:this time and await
the further information. She felt the scope of the work was commendable. She

' Planning Commission resolution.. He-would support a specific plan for the

Mayor Cooper stated he opposed.the moratorium.. He hoped the city could'. cooperate
- with.the county in developing.a specific plan and EIR for this area. He felt
that the new cooperation between the city and county, elected officials and
staffs is excellent and he hoped it 'would continue.
Councilman. - Dunin suggested .that .possible.the. Airport .Land:Use...Commission.could
be made a.part-of.a specific-plan task force if that was the.route the Supervisors
chose..
On motion of Councilman Bond,. seconded :_.by..Councilman_Dunin, the.City.Council
endorsed the proposal of the.preparation.of.the Airport..Area.Specific.Plan
and an E.I.R., and recommended that the.Board.of Supervisors.prepare. this -plan
with a task force.consisting of county staff, city staff, property owners in
the area and the.Airport.Land Use Commission. This.should.be.sent to the
Supervisors in letter -form with a. suggested workscope attached for their

12. City Council.held_a: public_ hearing,. to - .consider approving the final
..map of Tract 772, a 24 -lot subdivision at 1680 Southwood Drive, Leonard
Blaser, applicant.
D.F. Romero, Public Services Director, reviewed for the City Council the
final map of..Tract No.. 772, stated that the developer. -had 'submitted a
set- aside-letter pleding $158, 500. 00 :to.guranted.iiistallation.of subdivision
improvements and $79,250.00 to guarantee..labor , and.inaterials. The developer
requested deviation from the preliminary grading plan.approving during
tentative map processing. All other..cotiditions, had been met.
He continued that the City Engineer..recommend:'•_.against accepting-the set -aside
letter as surity.for subdivision improvements. It'.was. the City-Engineer's
opinion.that a set -aside letter does not guarantee.performance in the same
way a performance bond would, and.would.result in the city becoming liable
should the-developer-default on. the_.subdivision.agreement,.and also, no plan
of the grading deviation has been..presented -- a plan that does not deviate from
the tentative grading plan has been reviewed and is accepted.
He recommended that if the set - aside.letter.was acceptable.-the final map
should be approved. If a change in the grading-concept is approved, the
final map should be conditionally approved subject to revised grading plan
being approved by the City Engineer. .
While Mr. Romero agreed with the City Engineer-'s comments dealing with.the set -aside
letter, he felt the city should accept this.set -aside letter for this tract at
this time as this is the basis on which the developer has been working. But

in the future, if the council wishes to delete or not wish to use the set -aside
letter, it should be done prior to anyone getting into the actual development
of a subdivision. He stated he would be preparing a report to the council
within the next several months.

species, minimum of 25- gallon size, pine trees, etc. Also, he stated that if
the City Council wished, he would bring back a minor deviation to the grading
plan which would spread 3 to 5 inches on some of the lots without going into
the restricted areas.
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing closed.

a safer crossing for students coming from the south of Foothill blvd. crossing
onto Patricia. He felt the present diagonal type crossing was dangerous and
he would hold the council responsible.if anyone.was hurt. He also suggested
that.the.city place stop or .yield signs at the corners of Patricia Drive
at Daily, Marlene and Westmont, and a 4- way.marked crossing at the corners
of Highland Drive and Jeffrey, and at the corner of Patricia Drive and Highland Dr.
He also asked that a marked crossing at the corner of Patricia Drive and Clover,
the same type that is at the corner or Patricia Drive and Craig Way. He did
not feel that the present improvements to date had been very satisfactory. He
felt that city officials had been very cavalier about about the way they have
approached this problem. He hoped that before school starts in September, some
definite life - saving steps would be taken on the matter.
Mr. Romero reported that the traffic control measures mentioned in Mr.
Busselen's letter would be considered by the traffic committee at their
next meeting. The sidewalk on Foothill could be installed under city standard
"Public Convenience and Necessities" procedures.
After a lengthy discussion, it was moved by Councilman Dunin, seconded by
