M/S Mullin/Fernekes - To add the Closed Session.
Carried by unanimous voice vote.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Mr. Pedro Gonzales, 804 Olive Ave., stated he
wanted to express concerns of a group of citizens
over the recent police brutality in Riverside in
Southern California. He stated what happened to
those illegal aliens could happen to anybody in any
City in the Country when the police over react and
use violent tactics on individuals. He stated every-
one agrees the people had violated the law, but the
beatings were unnecessary. Their concern is that
this type of incident will not happen here or any
where in S.S.F. and urge the Police Department to
not allow this to happen here.
He commended the Police Department for working
with the community and the community will contin-
ue to cooperate in the future.
He thanked the Council for the cleanup measures in
Oldtown on empty lots.
Mayor Drago stated the City Manager came up with
the idea and Council supported him.
COMMUNITY FORUM
Councilman Mullin reiterated his announcement
from the last meeting on the 75th anniversary of
Martin School that will be celebrated on April 25th
with. a dinner at 6:00 p.m. and entertainment at the
School. He stated there will be a rally conducted to
generate interest and funds to help in the relocation
of the child care center from the Avalon School. He
stated 2,500 letters have been sent out to all the
businesses in the immediate area and he hoped the
businesses and the general public will avail them-
selves of the forthcoming event.
He stated Former President Carter was involved in
the habitat and a similar local program is called
Christmas in April; they will go in and renovate,
remodel and paint homes in the community that for
a variety of circumstances are unable to do it them-
selves; this will happen on 4/27/96 when they will

Mayor Drago stated a request was made at the last
meeting to make a transcript of the police officer's
hearing, it is being transcribed now and will be
made available at the Orange Avenue Library and
when it is ready anyone may go and review it.
He stated on the affinity credit card - they received a
telephone call from Boston Chamber of Commerce
and after deliberations they turned us down. They
did not want to take the risk of marketing and it
appears the market right now is pretty well gutted.
He stated the good news is that the Olympic Torch

tract to update and modify the plans which exist
for the relocation of the Corporation Yard facility.
As he read the minutes there was going to be an
investigation of the SamTrans facilities to see if
there was a different type of design, a garage that
would bring the project in at a reduced mount and
he thought the contract was in the neighborhood of
$50,000, but he sees it is in a higher amount.
Director of Public Services Gibbs stated that was
correct, he looked into the Samtrans and they have a
cheaper method of construction - steel beam and
corrugated and does not lend itself as to what we
have to do with the rest of the Park & Recreation
and what they plan to put in the Yard. He stated
Samtrans last garage cost $13 million and does not
have the office space the City requires. He contin-
ued in great detail: looked at the cost of a redesign;
they are recommending the amount discussed with
Mr. Avanessian for a redesign and feel it is the
cheapest; etc.
Discussion followed: a right-of-way had been dis-
cussed which may or may not affect the costs; a
prefab building would be cheaper; there is a prohi-
bition against prefab buildings; part of the redesign
by Avanessian is downgrading; Councilman Yee
stated he is quite familiar with the plan and would
be happy to give up his Subcommittee seat to
Councilman Mullin for him to familiarize himself
with the project; Councilman Mullin thanked him,
but stated he believed he has a full number of Sub-
committees he serves upon now and will rely on the
judgment of the Subcommittee but will come in and
look at it; Councilman Yee feels all of Council
should be familiar with the project so when we get
the bids and discuss this there should not be a de-
bate; City Manager will set up a briefing and invite
any Councilmember to attend.
M/S Fernekes/Yee - To adopt the Resolution.
RESOLUTION NO. 47-96
Carried by unanimous voice vote.
Councilman Mullin asked if this was an increase or
an offset with the cost of the County charge.
Finance Director Brooks stated it was an offset.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Mayor Drago opened the Public Hearing.
Director of Economic & Community Development
VanDuyn related: the lots involved in the applica-
tion would average approximately 45' wide and
4,500 sq. ft.; the proposed size of the homes are
from 2,000 sq. ft. to 2,600 sq. ft.; the circulation
system for the subdivision includes a loop road,
Nursery Way, a public street which would connect
to Chestnut Avenue opposite Sunset Avenue; Chest-
nut Avenue would be widened adjacent to the site to
provide a 25 ft. centerline to curb line width and
new curb, gutter and sidewalk would be installed; it
includes a 5' planting strip between the sidewalk and
the subdivision fence with street trees provided
every 30 feet and various shrubs planted in between;
the improvements, with the exception of a
fence are located within the City's right-of-way
and would become the City's maintenance responsi-
bility; condition of approval requires that the devel-
oper be responsible for maintaining this landscaping
for three years after installation; budget impacts for

the improvements are included in the report; the
Commission wanted the Council aware of the long
term maintenance obligations; elevations of the
project; retaining walls; the plan includes alternate
elevations; the project densities are consistent;
the Commission has made the necessary findings and
is recommending approval; the Mitigated Negative
Declaration is included in the action to be taken
which identifies potential concerns with geologic
stability, water quality, construction noise, health
impacts, traffic safety, school capacity and parks and
recreation facilities; no grading permits will be
allowed until the clean-up is done and asserted to;
there was considerable discussion by the Commis-
sion, neighbors in Parkway Estates II and Aldenglen
subdivisions about the adjacent Willow Gardens
Common Greens, and Mr. Pat Nobis has a long
term problem with kids throwing things at his house
and jumping down into his yard from the Common
Greens; Mr. Nobis believes Standard Building Co.
needs to address this problem before building more
homes which might experience similar problems and
told staff that the only real solution he sees is for the
Willow Gardens property to be condemned and
demolished; an 8' solid wall is proposed at the top
of the slope is intended to create a site separation
between the subdivisions and act as a sound barrier
and address the neighbors concerns for security and
privacy; the Commission wants Council to seriously
consider the fence and purchase of the right-of-way
strip for the fence; the residents suggested dense tree
planting in addition to the wall and the applicant
agreed to plant a row of tall cypress trees on the
downslope side of the fence to discourage people
from crawling up the wall and doing graffiti, but
there was not total agreement on this as a solution,
however, staff was in agreement that it was suffi-
cient and they support it; Council has received
correspondence from adjacent residents asking that it
be continued to allow more time to discuss it, but in
the meantime there was a meeting sponsored by the
developer in an attempt to explain in more detail;
this meeting was attended by 8 residents, staff,
police representatives, the residents attorney and the
development team; the residents also wanted a cy-
clone fence on top of the other fence and add securi-
ty; staff raised some concern about the visual im-
pact; staff feels that the planted trees will exceed the
8' wall and be better than a cyclone fence; the resi-

dents are willing to withdraw their request for a
continuance providing they get agreement on a eom-
promise in the letter distributed tonight; landscaping;
three car garages and quality fencing are being
provided by the developer, meet all legal require-
ments for setbacks and are under the density al-
lowed; no one from Willow Gardens was in atten-
dance at the meeting with the developer; concerns
on the crib wall; etc.
Discussion followed: Councilman Mullin has some
concerns about future residents of those homes and
what they will be getting; the existing four lots that
are not being touched have double frontage; Council
giving over a 10' slope to the property owners; etc.
Mr. Pat Nobis, 125 Aldenglen Dr., stated there had
been a meeting with the developer on the buffer wall
to discuss the many years of problems with eggs,
rocks, golf balls and pellets being thrown at their
homes. He related: he made seven police reports in
the last year and three in this year; all the residents
feel the City has an obligation to take appropriate
steps; the residents get a lot of sympathy, but no
action; one neighbor's daughter almost got hit with a
rock and beebees through the windows; they do not
feel the City is enforcing the Codes in the housing
behind their homes; there is constant traffic until
3:00 or 4:00 in the morning with kids around and
there is not enough police patrols; there were three
police reports he could not get because it was
teenagers; he thinks the City is putting itself in some
serious litigation problems, even though the statute
of limitations has run out in terms of lawsuits; this
problem is not going to be abated with an 9' wall
and they had asked for additional fence on top of it
because we are tired of being targeted and the new
people are going to have ten people behind them;
they want protection from the people on the second
floor of the apartments behind them; until the trees
mature the peole are not going to be invisible and
the pellets are coming from the apartments; etc.
Discussion followed: the problem is with Willow
Gardens and it is a social problem; the apartments
have been assessed for added landscaping; can HUD
enforce standards in the buildings; Mr. Nobis wants
regular police patrols; Mr. Robert Kent, President of
Standard Buildings, commended staff on their re-

port; Mayor Drago asked Mr. Kent if he had re-
viewed the 11 conditions in the letter; he had, and
the Company would pay for the cyclone fence if the
City wants it; he feels the second fence is unusual;
they have not decided yet if they are going to put in
cedar trees or another type tree; they are going to -
put in a 15 gallon tree 16' in height; some of those
conditions are Council decisions; Councilman Yee
feels there should be input from the Willow Gardens
people before any action is taken; what compensa-
tion is the City getting if they give up the
strip; a wooden fence is not going to stay up very
long on the slope - it should be a concrete wall;
Councilman Mullin had walked the area, it was not
an easy task, but he had walked behind all the prop-
erty in the existing development and saw those
problems the homeowners saw; the area is depress-
ing and he hopes whatever solution does not end up
in building fences all over the City; he wanted to see
some visuals on how it is going to be boxed in and
the 10' strip is still up for debate; etc.
Discussion followed: Mr. Bob Kent stated the 10' is
a slope that is not useable for the residents; Coun-
cilman Mullin stated it is a planted area that gives
visual relief and amenities; if a fence is put at the
bottom of the planted areas and if it is 6' high, it
would be easy for a child to jump on top of the
fence because of the slope, so it and a 10' fence
would have easy accessibility and that is why it was
presented to staff for remediation of the problem by
the developer; Councilman Mullin asked if there is a
way the slope can be changed to the 10' remains and
it could be leveled off and a fence at the end that
would give visual protection; the area could be filled
in, but that would involve a barring wall between
the subdivisions to bring that area up to grade, then
the City can put a 6' or 8' fence; it would have a
more common relationship and accomplish the same
thing; Mr. Kent was not sure that is engineeringly
possible with the wind factor; etc.
Mr. Colin Post stated, in Willow Gardens, the po-
lice can only do what they can do and the kids are
destroying everything around it. His suggestion is
to call the police, but by the time you do that the
criminal is gone for they all wear baggy pants and
look alike. He also suggested putting more money
into the police and hire more officers to patrol the

area for in a month's time he is lucky to see five
cars. He stated these kids are out from 3:00 to 5:00
in the morning, drinking and taking drugs and we
need to help the kids, etc.
Mr. Kent recounted the history of how the City
acquired Willow Gardens common greens: it was
built in 1960; there was an association that was in
the CC&Rs and the fee was $120.00 a month per
building to maintain the common facilities including
the common greens in the proposed development; a
few years later they decided to disband and let it go
for taxes and the City purchased it through a tax
lien. He stated it has a public nuisance value and
drains down into the proposed development and is a
liability to the City. He feels it is a win win situa-
tion if the sloped area is incorporated into this and a
true divider is put in.
Discussion followed: a 24" box tree gets to be 11'
high; the developer is responsible for putting in
security during construction for the three years and
the trees would be 30' high and would also be be-
hind Parkway; Councilman Mullin wants Willow
Gardens people to make input and he feels planting
mature trees will help; etc.
Ms. Ruth Miller, 1032 Crestwood Dr., stated her
property is next to the Willow Gardens common
greens and has lived there for 34 years. She stated
the wooden fences are torn down, including the
small cement block fence. She does see the police
responding, however, the landlords make no im-
provements. She does not believe the residents of
Willow Gardens will come to a meeting. Her
neighbor took out her fruit trees because kids threw
fruit at her windows.
Mayor Drago asked that the Public Hearing be
continued to the next meeting.
Discussion followed: not enough time to notify
everyone and alert them about the size of the wall;
what is the benefit to the potential property owners;
City Attorney suggested compliance and making
conditions of approval; Councilman Mullin wants
cost estimates to fill and bring the slope up vs.
keeping the 10' strip and dealing with the slope;
responsibility of street maintenance was raised, and

what is the irrigation; it will be tied to each home

there is no way the City should maintain it and will

for there is no side adjacent to Hillside Estates and
he is not sure if this will cut into that; fence line is

Carried by unanimous voice vote.
ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS
Fire Chief Stark related: for the past 18 months
County Fire Chiefs and City Managers have been
studying the present role of fire service and delivery
of emergency medical services and enhanced deliv-
ery of advanced life support skills; interest in en-
hancing productivity of existing fire department
resources; emergency medical service delivery rep-
resents a potential new revenue stream; proposed
option B is a public/private partnership and is the
preferred option which is a paramedic on each fire
company and private transport; the current provider
has difficulty meeting the ambulance requirement in
many areas of the County; cost savings by the pri-
vate providers and this will offset providing ALS
services; hiring paramedics to replace firefighters;
Fire Chiefs and City Managers agree with condi-
tions; etc.
Discussion followed: what is down side; extremely
difficult to pull out with the number of agencies
involved; involves creating a JPA with some loss of
local control over resources and a lot of labor is-
sues; this is already in place in the southern part of
the County; we have ALS currently in our City, so
we already have this plan; Mayor Drago suggested
dividing the County into four districts; etc.
