Park & Recreation Commissioner Peterson spoke of the important issues facing the Commission, such as Paradise, the Buri Buri expansion and the Terrabay Project. She questioned what the Council expected of the Commission and its priorities. She felt that the Commission should establish priorities regardless of the money involved for the capital improvements. Park & Recreation Commissioner Sellick stated that a restroom was desperately needed somewhere near the basketball court to serve the people who use the fields, and perhaps those using the ten- nis courts. She stated that it needed to be a concrete structure with stainless steel so it could not be broken as por- celain could be, and it would stop people from using the outside of the building as a restroom. She stated that she supported the need for the preventative maintenance program the Chairman had mentioned because the buildings were badly in need of paint to protect them from further deterioration. She stated that some years back one indi- vidual had been responsible for the main- tenance, who fortunately had also been a carpenter by trade. She stated that she was concerned about an area that was for parking for a City park, and she was afraid it would become lost in the hands of developers. She stated that property had been dedicated to the City, and was not a part of the marina. Park & Recreation Commissioner Salo§ga 12/14/88 Page 2 AGENDA ACT~[ ON TAKEN Joint Session - Continued. spoke of the deterioration: around the pool due to the chlorine and caustic materials used to keep it clean; that Paradise and Winston Manor were in bad shape. He spoke of the need for a master plan, so that grant monies could be applied for to implement the improvements. Park & Recreation Commissioner Gonzales stated that the City tour had been very enlightening in relation to the needed repairs. He spoke of the need for soccer fields in the City, and a preventative maintenance program. Discussion followed: that staff had investigated all City facilities, and had looked at long term financing for upgrading on a five year program; that the master plan was nearly complete, and would be presented to the Commission shortly; whether or not the School District had a master plan; that open space sites were very important for the future; that the Commission should give written requests to Department Heads with a deadline for a response; that the Commission was the Council's eyes and ears for the park needs of the community; whether the Commission was involved in the department's budget process; that the Council was aware of the deterioration of the City facilities, and had not been able to address them; that only the Council could authorize the expenditures of money; that the Commission's role was to look at the bigger picture, and pro- ject the needs of the community; that staff did not take direction from the Commission; that the Commission should project an independent prioritization than staff; that the commission had been actively involved in the 1970s master plan for parks; that the Council had prioritized repairs at Paradise and Siebecker; that the Commission should come back in a few years with a side focus on a community park with input from a users group for Orange Park; that the City would then go to the voters for 12/14/88 Page 3 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ~ 1.

Mayor Pro Tem Haffey stated that the City was requesting consulting services from a gentleman who provides planning services for jail siting. He stated that the Subcommittee was encouraging the County to consider a different location for a No. County jail facility medium security prison in this community other than where it was proposed by the County Board of Supervisors - which was directly adjacent to the Sunshine Gardens neighborhood. He stated that City staff had held a number of meetings and discussions with County staff to look at other alternatives. He stated that these services were needed to finally convince the Board of Supervisors and its staff that a loca- tion out by the Sewage Treatment Plant would be an ideal location for that kind of use as opposed to being next to a residential neighborhood. M/S Addiego/Drago - To adopt the Resolution. RESOLUTION NO. 143-88 Carried by unanimous voice vote. 12/14/88 Page 3 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 10. Motion to grant a one-year time extension to 12/31/89 for the Shearwater Tentative Subdivision Map SA-87-91 and for related approvals. Motion to direct staff to screen the proposals received and report back to Council with a recommen- dation to select a consultant for the Westborough/Gellert Specific Plan Status. (Cassette No. 2) Mayor Teglia Returned to the Podium: ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS Director of Planning Smith explained the previous approvals issued, and the staff recommendation to approve the one year extension. Councilman Addiego questioned if the developer group had indicated their interest in developing the project substantially as it was first envisioned. Director of Planning Smith stated that they had said in her office that they were interested in developing the project as approved after the sale of the property. M/S Nicolopulos/Drago - To grant a one- year time extension to 12/31/89 for Shearwater Tentative Subdivision Map SA-87-91 and for related approvals. Carried by unanimous voice vote. Director of Planning Smith stated that the original direction on this item had come from Council in October for the pro- posals, and Council had also mentioned the possible adoption of a moratorium to prohibit any new construction or expan- sion of use, until the specific plan was completed and new regulations were in place. She suggested that if there was an urgent need for the ordinance, it could be agendized for the next meeting. Mayor Te§lia returned to the podium at 8:05 p.m. Mr. George Avanessian, 400 Oyster Point Blvd., stated that he represented Mr. Tom Callan and asked the Council not to take action on this item tonight because they had been engaged to come up with a speci- fic plan for the area - which this matter was directed at because it was the only vacant parcel in the area. He stated that he wished to come in with his propo- sal, and then have the Council hire a 12/14/88 Page 4 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 11. Motion - Continued. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS consultant, if so desired, to analyze what Mr. Callan was proposing for that site. He thought it would be money poorly spent to hire someone right now to come up with recommendations that may not be acceptable to Mr. Callan; and in which case he would not develop the land for the next 10-20 years. He stated that it would take 90 days for him to come up with the proposal, and in the meantime no applications would be brought forward. Discussion followed: that many traffic studies had been done in past years; that staff wanted more analysis of the traffic studies already completed, and some addi- tional mitigation suggestions such as looking at more land uses in the area; looking at on-site and off-site circulation analysis, and recommended improvements; that Council had staff solicit proposals to evaluate all impacts on the area, etc. City Manager Armas stated that Council, when it had dealt with the recent deve- lopment proposal, had felt concern that the City was being put in a position of constantly reacting. He continued, and felt it was time for the City to take a position to identify the kinds of uses that the City finds appropriate, and to have the opportunity not to feel under the pressure of a specific proposal to evaluate the impacts of whatever uses occur up in that area. He stated that as a consequence of that discussion, the Council had asked the staff to solicit proposals from a variety of firms in which the firms would be asked to look at: the current land use designation, and identify some alternatives; then identify and comment on the traffic implications associated with those uses, etc. Vice Mayor Haffey stated that this was not a final action, merely soliciting proposals and felt the Council should move forward. 12/14/88 Page 5 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 11. Motion - Continued. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS Councilman Nicolopulos questioned if Mr. Callan could accomplish the same request by the City moving on this item. Mr. Avanessian stated that he was not objecting to the City spending the money, but wanted the City to wait until Mr. Callan submitted a proposal and then hire the consultant to analyze what Mr. Callan wanted to develop on his land rather than select now and wait ten months for the analysis of proposals that may not be what Mr. Callan wants for the area. Councilman Dra9o stated that action on this item would safeguard any proposals being submitted by any developer in the area. Councilman Addiego questioned if it was necessary for action on a moratorium tonight along with the other action to be taken. Director of Planning Smith stated that Council could impose a moratorium at a later time if necessary. Councilman Addiego stated that there are no circumstances under which he could support a moratorium in that area, because the application process will control what happens in the area. He suggested that Mr. Avanessian present his proposal to the consultant when it was completed. Mayor Teglia stated that she had been led to believe that Mr. Callan was not interested in contributing on this cost, and apologized for the wrong assumption. M/S Haffey/Addiego - To direct staff to screen the proposals received and report back to Council. Councilman Addiego questioned if there were any additional roadways in Mr. Avanessian's proposal. 12/14/88 Page 6 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 11. Motion - Continued. 12.

Councilman Addie§o stated that he would be interested in seeing the plan when it was completed. Carried by unanimous voice vote. Acting Deputy City Manager/City Engineer Wong described the $1,250,000 bond issue improvements that would benefit the Assessment District to be formed: sani- tary sewers; water facilities; and impro- vements to Colma Creek. Mayor Teglia questioned why the extension to Hickey Blvd. was not included. Acting Deputy City Manager/City Engineer Wong stated that the District was south of the Hickey extension, and would not benefit the parcels in the Assessment District. Councilman Drago stated that he disagreed with that, and felt that a future assessment district could be involved with the Hickey extension that included these parcels. M/S Haffey/Addiego - To adopt Resolution a, RESOLUTION NO. 144-88 Carried by unanimous voice vote. M/S Haffey/Addiego - To adopt Resolution b. RESOLUTION NO. 145-88 Carried by unanimous voice vote.

Mayor Teglia stated that at some point in the future a Subcommittee would be appointed to work on the Hickey Extension, and she and Councilman Drago were interested in serving. LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS City Clerk Battaya read the title of the Ordinance in its entirety. Acting Deputy City Manager/City Engineer Wong stated that the Subdivision Map Act required a City to establish procedures for lot line adjustments between two par- cels, which the Ordinance allows. Councilman Nicolopulos questioned how extensive was this in the City to warrant this - were there potential problems. City Manager Armas stated that the current process was cumbersome, wherein people now have to file parcel maps for even a minor adjustment. Councilman Haffey stated that if this had just been found out, that it was cumber- some, why didn't the staff report relate that fact. City Manager Armas stated that Engineering and the City Attorney were examining procedures, and finding easier methods to accomplish same. M/S Haffey/Addiego - To waive reading and introduce the Ordinance. Carried by unanimous voice vote. 12/14/88 Page 8 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN PUBLIC HEARINGS 14.
