Community Survey Admin. Analyst Troy Butzlaff stated that the
Results Rose Institute conducted a Community Survey
consisting of a random sample of 300 adult

waste management issues. He introduced Dr.
Alan Heslop who discussed the final results
of the survey.
Dr. Heslop gave a brief history of the Rose
Institute and stated that its focus is on
issues of concern to state and local govern-
ment. Between November 12 - 14, 1990, 800
people were polled throughout the San Gabriel
Valley, 300 of which were from Diamond Bar
and questions focused on concerns of City
residents. Dr. Heslop stated that of the
residents polled, traffic was the most
important issue facing the City. Further,
those polled favored the development of
commercial centers; felt there was an
inadequate public transportation system;
would be willing to support a bond issue for
the development of a multi -civic center;
would support a bond issue for parks; would
be willing to allow the City to conduct a
rail haul program and pay more for such a
program; would be agreeable to a local
facility for separation of recyclables and
would be willing for residents to separate
recyclables.
Mr. Dave Cope, 316 Del Sol Ln., expressed

Mr. Frank Dursa, 2533 Harmony Hill Dr., also
spoke in opposition to use of taxpayers'
money for the survey.

OLD BUSINESS:
Emergency ACM/Belanger stated that the preparation
Preparedness of a multi -hazard, functional Emergency
Operations Plan, which is required by the
State, is currently being prepared. Also
drafted is a "Community Self -Help Program"
concept which has been modeled after the
Cities of Sunnyvale and Santa Fe Springs.
Emergency equipment is being purchased so
that those responsible during a disaster can
communicate and effectively respond to the
needs that may arise. In addition, the
community organization that would be called
upon during an emergency is still being
formed and that it was staff's recommendation
that the Diamond Bar Improvement Association
be approached to head the program.
In response to C/Papen's inquiry, ACM/
Belanger stated that, for the remainder of
this fiscal year, he estimated an additional
$10,000 would be needed for communications
equipment and $5,000 for other program
activities related to preparation of the
plans.
Following discussion, ACM/Belanger stated
that a report would be presented at the
February 5, 1991 meeting giving a time line
as to when the entire emergency preparedness
program would be in place.
Mrs. Glenda Thompson Bona, 22401 Birdseye
Dr., Secretary of the Diamond Bar Improvement
Assn., stated that the DBIA wants to work
with the City in the area of disaster
preparedness and inquired into whether a
budget has been allocated and which City
staff member would be designated as liaison.
CM/Van Nort asked the Council to direct staff
to meet with the DBIA to address the issues
raised by Ms. Bona, then bring them back to
the Council in the next 60 days.

90-42 Authrzng
Commission considered staff's recommendation
& Drctng
to restrict parking along the east side of
Installation of
Diamond Bar Blvd. between Grand Ave. and
"No Parking"
Quail Summit. Although the Commission felt
Signs - East Side
that the situation did not merit restricted
of D.B. Blvd.
parking on a full-time basis, they did feel
from Grand Ave.
that the existing parking restriction should
to Quail Summit
be extended and more strongly enforced. In
addition, the restriction should carry the
"tow away zone" provisions of the Vehicle
Code.
C/Papen suggested that the Council and the
Planning Commission look into requiring
condominium complexes to have garage door
openers.

PAGE 6
by contract or City staff. The Budget also
sets forth revenue sources and anticipated
revenue levels necessary to fund the proposed

mated at $250,000 due to increased services

through December 31, 1990, from 10:00 a.m. to
7:00 p.m. with a total ridership of 711
passengers. She further stated that it was
staff's recommendation that another pilot
project be designed similar to the Holiday
Shuttle to encompass the Dial -A -Ride service
that is already in place.
C/Nardella asked if the County Dial -A -Ride
program will expire in July and if the same
type of services would be provided if the
City has its own transit program.
CM/Van Nort stated that the same shuttle
would provide both community service and
Dial -A -Ride.
JANUARY 15, 1991 PAGE 7
C/Papen requested that staff look into a
direct bus route from Diamond Bar into Orange
County and the transit center. After being
turned down last year, it was suggested that
we come back and talk to them again.
M/Werner asked when this matter would be
brought back for Council review.
Admin. Analyst Fritzal stated that in 30 to
60 days, a report would be brought back for
Council direction.
M/Werner suggested that perhaps the shuttle
service could be used to bring the public to
City Council meetings.
Zip Code Admin. Analyst Troy Butzlaff reported on the
zip code dispute between the City and the
U.S. Postal Service. The problem existed
before the City incorporated and involves
approximately 2,000 residents and 211
businesses in the northwest section of the
City. In November, Council adopted two
resolutions: 1) supporting the use of the
City's name in lieu of the delivery post
office name for those residents and busin-
esses located in the 91789 zip code and 2)
petitioning the U.S. Postal Service to
establish an official post office station to
serve the City. These Resolutions were sent
to Congressman Dreier's office and the
Congressman has corresponded with the
Assistant Postmaster General outlining the
City's concerns and asking for an immediate
response. Copies were also sent to the
Postmaster and Manager of the Alhambra
Management Sectional Center officially
requesting assistance. On January 7th, the
City Manager received a response from the
Management Sectional Center in Alhambra
stating that they will be examining the issue
upon the return of the Manager on January 22.
Furthermore, staff is tracking federal
legislation in anticipation that new
legislation will be introduced and will
continue to work with the Congressman's
office. In addition, the Postal Service is
conducting a survey to examine the issue of
postal autonomy and redrawing of zip code
boundaries to match municipal boundaries.

L.A. Cnty. Sheriff Capt. Lee McCown of the L.A. County Sheriff's
Department reported that during the past six
months, an increase to approximately of 120
calls per month has been received for serv-
ices in Diamond Bar. The Neighborhood Watch

JANUARY 15, 1991 PAGE 9
working closely with Cal Trans for a grant
application for the "Environmental
Enhancement and Mitigation Act" to provide
mitigation via landscaping for new trans-
portation projects, specifically the truck
climbing lane on the 60 freeway, which would
involve 54 acres of freeway right-of-way.
The proposal consists of planting 5,500 trees
and the State has been requested to provide
$563,000 for the project. Peterson Park
improvements have been completed and include
a gazebo, park playground equipment, barbe-
cues and picnic tables. In addition, a fence
was installed at Maple Hill Park behind the
back yards of homes that abut the park;
resurfacing of basketball courts at Ronald
Reagan and Maple Hill Parks has been com-
pleted; and fencing of the storm drain
entrance at Pantera Park has been installed.
M/Werner stated that some of the lawn areas
in the southerly end of the City appear to be
turning brownish.
PM/Janiel explained that part of the reason
is that the irrigation has been off due to
the freeze and that some brown normally
occurs during the winter.
City Engineering CE/Sid Mousavi stated that the major activity
of the City Engineer's Office was completion
of the Grand Ave. and Chino Hills Parkway
improvements, administering Traffic &
Transportation Commission activities, and
completing other capital improvement projects
as well as review approval and coordination
of private developments within the City.
Accomplishments include installation of
traffic signal systems on Grand Ave. at
Longview Dr., Summit Ridge, and Montefino,
modification of the traffic signal system on
Grand Ave. at Diamond Bar Blvd., intersection
improvements at Grand Ave. at Diamond Bar
Blvd., Chino Hills Parkway street and storm
drain improvements, median improvements, the
1989-90 slurry seal program and interfacing
with the Parks and Maintenance Department on
Peterson Park improvements. He also stated
that within the next six months, his
Department plans to complete capital as well
as other projects such as 1990-91 slurry seal
projects for Area 1, construction of sidewalk
improvements on Brea Canyon Rd. under the 60
freeway, intersection improvements on Grand
Ave. at Golden Springs Dr. and
JANUARY 15, 1991 PAGE 10
Grand Ave. at the entrance to the Country,
installation of traffic signal systems on
Grand Ave. at Rolling Hills Dr. and Grand
Ave. at Shotgun, Diamond Bar Blvd. at Kiowa
Crest and Golden Springs Rd. at Sunset
Crossing. Another project will be the devel-
opment of 1991-92 Lighting and Landscaping
Assessments for Districts 38, 39 and 41.
M/Werner asked about the status of completion
of Grand Ave. toward Walnut.
CE/Mousavi stated that the City of Industry
has indicated that utility work will be
completed sometime in February. Advertising
for construction of the street will then take
place. It is anticipated that the street
will be open in June or July, 1991.
M/Werner also asked about the Pathfinder
overcrossing.
CE/Mousavi stated that finalization of the
agreement between the County, the City and
Cal Trans will soon take place which will
then be transmitted for Council review and
execution. Plans have been submitted to the
City for review and are currently being plan
checked.
C/Kim asked staff to look into the addition
of a northbound left -turn lane on Grand Ave.
Mr. Al Rumpilla, 23958 Golden Springs Dr.,
asked what was being done about the instal-
lation of a signal at Sunset Crossing and
Golden Springs Dr. as requested by over 400
parents from Diamond Point School.
CE/Mousavi stated that this installation is
to be funded by FAU funds and administered by
the County. There appears to be a problem
with the easement over adjacent property for
installation of detector hooks for the signal
which has delayed the project.
M/Werner stated that the date set for bid is
January 26, 1991 with estimated time of
completion in March.
Planning Planning Director Jim DeStefano stated that
Department the Planning Department is responsible for
"advanced planning activities" involving the
General Plan, specific plans, annexation
studies, etc. Currently, the department is
JANUARY 15, 1991 PAGE 11
spending a great deal of time in general
planning. They also work heavily into
current planning activities, most commonly,
zoning administration. They review all the
environmental projects for their impact upon
the community, conduct code enforcement
activities throughout the community and
provide services to both the Planning
Commission and City Council in a variety of
planning issues and special studies. They
have also contracted for a circulation
element which will be coordinated with the
City Engineering Department. The Zoning and
Development Subdivision Code is now ready for
review by the Planning Commission and the
Council. His staff has also reviewed several
major hillside development projects, some of
them carrying over from the County and some
almost 3 years old. Land uses within CM -
Zones have also been reviewed, new hillside
development standards have been created and
review of drafts of the new sign ordinance
has taken place. An Economic Development
Retreat was conducted in October with the
Chamber of Commerce. In addition, staff
recommended creation of the SEATAC
(Significant Ecological Area Technical
Advisory Committee) for the area that the Boy
Scout camp rests in along Tonner Canyon Rd.,
which was created to review the environmental
impacts caused by several proposed hillside
projects. Upcoming projects include contin-
uation of the General Plan, Circulation
Element, Zoning and Subdivision Codes,
creation of a Gateway Corporate Center
development agreement to eliminate the
unilateral contract, finishing the sign code,
analyzing processing fees, review of
additional hillside development projects,
liaison with the City of Industry for.
creation of a specific plan for the Tres
Hermanos Ranch area and assistance to the
City Manager's office on a North Diamond Bar
high school site. Creation of an economic
development policy and development of a
Senior Center are additional projects within
the next six months. Current trends indicate
a decline in building activity in respect to
building fees received, the number of plan
checks and the activity overall. The trend
is expected to continue, particularly in the
areas of commercial and industrial develop-
ment. There is great activity in residential
areas, particularly the hillsides and it
appears there is significant planning going
JANUARY 15, 1991 PAGE 12
on by larger residential developers toward
projects that they hope to have approved in
1991 for construction in 1992 and beyond.
M/Werner asked about the LAFCO sphere and if,
through development of the General Plan, any
boundaries will extend beyond the current
sphere.
PD/DeStefano stated that the issue had not
been reconciled as of yet and may be decided
at the end of January by GPAC.
PD/DeStefano introduced Irwin Kaplan who
spoke on economic development programs. Mr.
Kaplan suggested that a workshop be planned
involving the Council, Planning Commission
and Chamber of Commerce to provide self-
assessment --looking at strengths and weak-
nesses as well as opportunities and limita-
tions and available resources. He also
stated that the financial aspect should also
be looked at when preparing the program. In
addition, when long term economic plans are
made, the proposals should be tested to make
sure that they will result in land use
patterns that are compatible with the City's
overall transportation capabilities and the
quality of life for the residents, at the
same time enhancing opportunities for the
success of local businesses not only for the
fiscal return to the Community but because
these are important businesses serving local
needs which provides a pool of power to the
community that local government can draw
upon.
C/Kim asked if the D.B. Golf Course could be
relocated for use of the land as a commercial
zone area for a strong tax base.
Mr. Kaplan stated that that is one of the
items that is being discussed.
M/Werner asked about redevelopment.
Mr. Kaplan stated that it had been discussed
but was not sure how much opportunity there
is in traditional redevelopment.
Ordinance 8-A CA/Arczynski stated that some time ago, the
(1990) Amndng Fire Department reported on the effects of
Secs. 3203 & 3204 wood shake shingles in this area which is
Title 26 (Bldg.) subject to high winds and low humidity. In
Code) of L.A. reviewing the County Code, he found that the
JANUARY 15, 1991 PAGE 13
County Code,
County had, in fact, banned the use of wood
Pertaining to
the use of wood shake and shingles as
Roof Covering
approved roofing material. Further review
Requirements
indicated that there was a difference of
opinion as to whether or not existing roofs
that had been covered with those materials
could be re -roofed in the event of partial
destruction, room additions, etc. As a
result, an Ordinance was drafted to permit
the homeowner who has an existing wood shake
roof that may be damaged to replace it with
similar material so that he does not have to
replace the whole roof. There is a 25%
limitation and it can only be done once
during a 12 month period. He further stated
that, in addition to the Ordinance, a
Resolution was also drafted which makes the
requisite findings. Factual issues that are
stated in the Resolution are based upon
information provided by the Fire Department
as well as statements made during the
previous meeting. He then introduced for
first reading by title only Ordinance No. 8A
(1990) entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR AMENDING
SECTIONS 3203 AND 3204 OF TITLE 26 (BUILDING
CODE) OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY CODE, AS
HERETOFORE ADOPTED, PERTAINING TO ROOF
COVERING REQUIREMENTS.
C/Kim asked about the 25% limitation on
replacement of the roof.
CA/Arczynski stated that there are some
cities that have gone with 10% but due to the
discussion with the Council during the prior
meeting, 25% seemed to be more reasonable.
M/Werner asked about building additions.
CA/Arczynski stated that new roofs would not
be permitted to have wood shake shingles,
plus there would be planning review
requirements for compatibility that would
require whatever is put on would be in
keeping with the neighborhood. In the case
of room additions, if more than 25% of the
roof needs to be replaced, that would trigger
the need for an entire new roof.
MPT/Forbing moved, C/Kim seconded to waive
full reading and introduce for first reading
by title only Ordinance No. 8A (1990)
entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR AMENDING SECTION
JANUARY 15, 1991 PAGE 14

Motion carried unanimously.
Waste -By -Rail
Admin. Analyst Troy Butzlaff reported on a
proposed waste -by -rail joint powers agreement
between the L.A. County Sanitation District
and the San Gabriel Valley Association of
Cities to establish a responsible authority
to oversee implementation and operation of a
waste -by -rail system designed to meet future
shortfalls of landfill capacity predicted to
reach crisis levels in the next 3 to 5 years.
The proposed agreement would require the City
to commit a specified quantity of waste on a
put or pay basis. To be operative, the pro-
ject would need to obtain 24,000 tons of
waste per week in commitments from signator-
ies by the end of the first year. Signator-
ies would then be financially responsible for
the waste commitment with no refunds for
unused waste management capacity. Staff has
analyzed the cost of the proposed agreement
and it is estimated that the closure of local
landfills could cost local residents an
average of 30% more if waste has to be trans-
ported out of the area to other landfills in
the County, but 50% more if the City partici-
pates in the waste -by -rail option. As a
result, the waste -by -rail option could
increase a resident's trash bill from an
average of $12.50 to $19.25 per month. Staff
is also concerned about the projects' concur-
rence with the source reduction and recycling
element. The status of the waste -by -rail
project will be discussed at the January 17,
1991 San Gabriel Valley Association of Cities
JANUARY 15, 1991 PAGE 15
meeting to be held in Monrovia. He recom-
mended support of the waste -by -rail concept
by receiving this report for future discus-
sion and not become a signatory to the
agreement at this time but direct staff to
monitor and update Council as necessary.
M/Werner asked if supporting the waste -by -
rail concept at this time might be construed
or misconstrued should the Council elect not
to go in this direction.
AA/Butzlaff stated that it could be, but that
no city has yet sponsored or become a
signatory and have only supported it in
concept.
C/Kim and C/Papen spoke in opposition to
supporting the concept of waste -by -rail.
Following discussion, C/Kim moved to table
this item indefinitely. With consensus of
Council, the matter was tabled.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: C/Nardella asked that the meeting be
adjourned for the Americans in the Middle
East as well as in memory of Malcolm McReel.
C/Papen asked for a report from the Rotary
Club regarding the donation of the 1-800
number to the Sheriff's Department.
C/Kim commended the staff on their
presentations.
M/Werner also commended the staff's
presentations.
CLOSED SESSION: With no further business to conduct, M/Werner
recessed to Closed Session at 9:57 p.m. for
discussion of Litigation and Personnel
Matters.
ADJOURNMENT: M/Werner reconvened the meeting to Regular
Session at 10:21 p.m., declared that there
was no reportable action taken and adjourned
the meeting at 10:21 p.m. in memory of Mr.
Malcolm McReel and the American Troops in the
Middle East.

QUAIL SUMMIT DRIVE/ Ronald Kranzer gave background of traffic
ROLLING KNOLL DRIVE congestion on Diamond Bar Boulevard and Grand
CIRCULATION Avenue and cut -through problems in the area
which has been before both the Traffic and
Transportation Commission and City Council
during the year. Traffic counts taken show
signs that the improvements now in place have
reduced{ the traffic. There are still some
improvements planned on Grand Avenue. The
analysis of the traffic counts conclude that
the cut -through traffic has been greatly
diminshed.
Staff recommends that the Commission adopt a
finding that the cut -through issued has been
resolved due to traffic improvements both
within Quail Summit/Rolling Knoll are and
along the adjacent major highways, and further
recommend to the City Council to proceed with
the installation of a traffic signal on Grand

in-house recreational services. The City Attorney is
currently reviewing the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA)
regarding this decision. Staff recommended the Park
Drop -In Program be dissolved as of January 1, 1990 and
the savings be put towards the new recreation services.
C/Whelan suggested the funds, received from the change in
the Parks Program, be used for recreational equipment
such as park benches, picnic tables, barbecues and lights
at Peterson Park as opposed to using it in recreational
programs or special events.
Charles Janiel suggested the Commission consider
resurfacing the basketball courts at Maple Hill and
Ronald Reagan.
October 25, 1990
Page 2
VC/Nardella inquired as to how the termination date of
January 1, 1991 was determined.
Staff stated the date was chosen as a foundation base
until the exact date had been determined, by the
Commission, to recommend to the Council.
C/Whelan stated the point of waiting till January 1, 1991
was to allow the program to end as advertised.
VC/Nardella asserted, since the parks program only has
about three participants, there would be very few
effected by discontinuing the program earlier than
--W expected.
Staff recommended the Commission act promptly, on the
issue, to allow the administration adequate time to
gather necessary information to conclude the program and
allow the City Attorney time to create an amendment
modifying the JPA. Staff anticipated the issue will be
included on the November 6, 1990 agenda to go before the
City Council.
VC/Nardella explained the opinion of the City Attorney,
is essential because there are various interpretations to
the outcome of the funds. The funds may revert to the
Parks and Recreation, as anticipated, or may remain in
the JPA for redistribution by the Recreational Advisory
Board (RAB) . He recommended the funds be returned to the
Parks and Recreation at the termination of the program,
if the monies are to remain in the JPA.
Staff suggested the Commission recommend the program be
terminated at the earliest possible date and the savings
be distributed for improvements in the Parks, and drafted
as such by the City Attorney.
VC/Nardella divided the motion into two parts, to include
the date of termination and the disposition of the
monies.
Motion was made by VC/Nardella, seconded by C/Whelan, and
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to terminate the Park Program at the
earliest possible date, no later than December 31, 1990.
Motion made by VC/Nardella, seconded by Chair/Nyal and
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to recommend to the Council the
monies be reserved from the JPA in the Recreation fund,
and if either City Council or the City Attorney determine
this is not an appropriate course of action, and the
October 25, 1990 Page 3
monies must be left within the JPA, then the Commission
request of the RAB, the monies saved from the termination
of the program be reallocated and expended upon Diamond
Bar Park improvements.
Citizens Request Staff, as requested by the Commission, compiled a list
CIP Projects of specific items requested by the citizens of Diamond
Bar: indoor/outdoor swimming pool; indoor basketball
courts; outdoor lighted basketball courts; bleachers at
Peterson Park; and additional tennis courts. Staff also
included a list of needed improvements requested by Pop
Warner Football.
VC/Nardella recalled a wish list from Little League
pertaining to field improvements at Quail Summit.
C/Whelan reminded the Commission of the request for clay
dust and storage facilities, at Heritage Park, for Little
League games.
Chair/Nyal noted the letter, from Pop Warner Football,
was the ongoing request for a location to play home
games.
C/Ruzicka declared Diamond Bar High School (DBHS), though
cautious of field abuse, wants to be more cooperative
with community organizations. He recalled also, at one
of the sports organization meetings, a recommendation,
through the JPA, for the use of the fields at Lorbeer
Junior High School. He would recommend Pop Warner
football contact the DBHS athletic director, or Lorbeer
Junior High School.
VC/Nardella suggested, if the Master Use Agreement is
close to being negotiated, it would be preferable the
Commission negotiate field use, rather than directing
community groups to handle it, especially if scheduling
of fields at DBHS is to be included.
C/Whelan directed staff to include the resurfacing of the
basketball courts at Maple Hill Park and Ronald Reagan
Park on the list of requests by Diamond Bar citizens.
NEW BUSINESS:
Master Use Staff reported there will be negotiations of the master
Agreement -Schools use agreements with Walnut Unified School District and
Pomona Unified School District in the beginning of
November of 1990. Upon approval from the Commission of
the master use agreement, it will be sent to the
Assistant Superintendent of Business Development of both
October 25, 1990 Page 4
schools, and negotiations will commence, to be in effect
by July of 1991. The document had been reviewed and
approved by the City Attorney. It is staffs intention
the master use agreements will allow the City to schedule
community sports groups.
C/Whelan requested, if the City is anticipating a summer
recreation program at the schools, to have the master use
agreement take effect prior to July of 1991.
Kellee Fritzal responded staff will try to have the
master use agreement in effect in March of 1991. She
stated the document is intended for the Commissions
review, and recommendation to staff to proceed with
negotiations with the school districts.
VC/Nardella is concerned the document is extremely
skeletal.
Kellee Fritzal explained the document sets forth for ten
(10) years, allowing for yearly review and amendments
without having to redraft the entire document. The basic
responsibilities are outlined within the document.
Chair/Nyal noted Paragraph G, Amendment and Modification
Agreement, explained the process for modifications. He
stated as long as the document, in its draft form, does
not hinder negotiations for field use or other issues
needing immediate attention, he motions approval of the
document.
C/Ruzicka inquired as what is considered in determining
fees in field usage.
Staff explained the expenditure is in maintaining the
upkeep of the fields from the natural wear and tear of
the facilities. The costs, in some instances, are
bringing the fields up to standard for liability reasons.
Staff reported the document allows for a six (6) month
written notification to be given to the City if the
District should decide to terminate the agreement.
VC/Nardella observed the omittance of necessary language,
within the document on paragraph G.2. in reference to
"under this six months' prior written notice". He stated
there needs to be an explanation on the termination of
the contract concerning terms and conditions.
VC/Nardella noted staffs intention to allow the City to
schedule the community sports groups, but questioned the
absence of scheduling within the master use agreement.
October 25, 1990 Page 5
He would like to amend Chair/Nyals motion to include the
recommendation to Council the usage of the master use
agreement, with the addendum that it is the Commissions
recommendation they be allowed to schedule the
facilities.
Kellee Fritzal explained the document, after the
Commissions review, will be returned to staff to allow
further negotiations and then brought back to the
Commission for further review and recommendation, before
it is addressed before the Council.
VC/Nardella noted the explanation and thus directed staff
to include the aforesaid addendum.
C/Whelan criticized the districts action of arbitrarily
canceling field usage without prior notice and would
amend the motion to include staff direction to make
provisions for cancellations with adequate notice and/or
similar field replacement.
Motion made by Chair/Nyal, seconded by VC/Nardella and
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to adopt the master use agreement
with direction to staff to negotiate the facilities
agreement, and specific direction to staff that the
Commission would like to schedule the use of the
facilities and that, in any event, regardless of who
schedules, if it should become necessary to cancel, in an
event that has been scheduled, that the school district
provide similar, equivalent facilities with as much
notice as possible.
RFP Recreation Staff reported, to assist in the review and selection
Services. process of all interested recreational providers, the
decision was made to send the attached Request for
Proposals and Specifications for Recreational Services.
Upon the Commissions approval, it will be placed on the
City Council agenda of November 6, 1990, and if approved,

Kellee Fritzal stated the Commissions recommendations,
from the October 11, 1990 meeting, was included in
Section III, Scope of Work, whereas self supporting
programs were stressed.
VC/Nardella inquired as to the responsibility of
insurance.

purchased. Staff will be receiving an inventory of all
equipment possessed by Walnut Valley and the decision as
to who purchased the equipment will then be made.
C/Whelan inquired if the City has the list of the
equipment purchased for the Tiny Tots at Heritage Park.
Staff reported the equipment is marked Diamond Bar, and
it was purchased under a separate budget.
O,n'P Windaroves, Walnut, Recreation
October 25, 1990 Page 7
Ms. Lynborn stated Walnut pays the District a dollar
amount plus 6% of the total expenditures, and suggested
that could be used as a dollar amount of disclosure
contribution.
VC/Nardella specified Diamond Bar did not contribute
towards services but rather paid for administrative
costs.
Staff emphasized the City purchased new equipment for
park usage and a specified dollar amount was attached to
each Park program.
C/Whelan believed the budget for the equipment was broken
down for each park and each special event. The equipment
bought last year was to remain at said park and
additional equipment purchased this year was to
supplement it. He stated Diamond Bar minutes verify
money was to be spent from the JPA funds to go towards
the haunted house and stated Walnut should have
documentation as to what went specifically to the haunted
house at the Heritage Park Halloween Carnival.
VC/Nardella suggested since the JPA will be breaking up,
the Commission should request the inventory being
prepared be provided to the Commission.
Ms. Lyngrove offered a categorized inventory of items
purchased separately.
Chair/Nyal requested staff to handle communications with
the Recreation Supervisor, Cheryl Lynborn, to obtain a
categorized inventory of the equipment, specifying
Diamond Bars property and its proper location.
C/Whelan stated Diamond Bar purchased new equipment for
the parks and requested a list of the exact costs of the
purchases for Diamond Bar, not the fair market value
suggested by Walnut.
C/Ruzicka requested staff to obtain a copy of the
District letter and a categorized inventory of all of the
property.
VC/Nardella noted item seven (7) of the correspondence
does not mention Diamond Bar or the Diamond Bar program.
He directed staff to be equally as explicit to guarantee
the Citys fair share.
October 25, 1990 Page 8
VC/Nardella questioned staff if, in interpreting item six
(6), the City will encourage the contractor of choice to
retain existing personnel. He recommended the retention
of full time staff.
Staff is obtaining, from Walnut, a list of all present
employees interested in working for the City of Diamond
Bar.
Christmas - The issue of Christmas decorations was explored in a
Memorandum from discussion with the Chamber President and Chamber
Robert Van Nort. liaison, Don Nardella. City Manager Robert Van Nort
strongly urged the Parks and Recreation Commission and
Chamber of Commerce, with staff assistance, develop a
long-term theme and process to implement a permanent
Christmas decorating program for the City.
VC/Nardella explained the idea is to create a community
atmosphere, along with businesses involving window
decorations, and neighborhood decoration contests. He
stated acquiring needed decorations would be a long term
process, but many costs could be donated by group
sponsors, businesses or by individuals.
C/Ruzicka asserted many cities accomplish this type of an
event and with input from the Commission and Staff, a
theme and a method for City operations could be achieved.
Chair/Nyal inquired if the monies for banner decorations
would come out of the Recreation budget.
VC/Nardella stated the City could provide the fixtures
and then individual community groups obtain a permit with
an attached fee for its use, keeping City costs at a
minimum. VC/Nardella would like the Commission to
explore further ideas.
The Commission expressed their approval of the project.
VC/Nardella requested staff add the item on next years
budget and determine estimated costs with a list of
possible funds available to the Commission.
COMMISSIONER Chair/Nyal announced his intentions of formally
COMMENTS: submitting his letter of resignation due to the Ordinance
recently adopted by the Council stating a Commissioner
must be a resident of the City. He regrets his
resignation and enjoyed the many years of time and energy
donated to the City. He will continue to attend the
meetings until such time he has to resign.
October 25, 1990 Page 9
C/Whelan informed the Commission of the requests he
received from children to replace a nice size slide at
Sycamore Park.
C/Whelan suggested a Community garden at Larkstone Park
involving community groups for its maintenance. He
stated the project would be easy and replaceable should
the City decide on something else in the future. He
requested staff to pursue the possibility.
C/Ruzicka commented on his disappointment of Chair/Nyals
resignation.

Commissioner Ruzicka suggested Pop Warner representatives
approach the Athletic Director at DBHS to discuss field usage.
VC/Nardella recommended Pop Warner withhold discussions with
DBHS until Diamond Bar has completed negotiations of the
Master Use Agreement. He stated Diamond Bar will negotiate
field usage for Pop Warner at the same time negotiations for
other user groups occur with the Walnut Valley School District
(WVSD).
James Roberts, 23627 Bower Cascade Place, Diamond Bar,
represented a group of informal street hockey players
currently playing at Diamond Point Elementary School. He
requested help from the Commission in obtaining a playing
field approximately 150' long by 75' wide of flat concrete
surface with walls at each end and rounded corners. He stated
there is an increase in the number of interested players and
would consider starting a league to help defer costs to the
City.
VC/Nardella stated the request will be taken into considera-
tion with thought to any construction to be done that may
correspond with the needed facilities.
C/Ruzicka suggested the group formalize the organization to

ORAL REPORT: _VC/Nardella reported Chris Adams, Director of Walnut Valley
RAB Members Recreation, recommended all proceeds or savings, generated
Report by changing to an all Saturday Program, be used to offset the
costs of Park Monitors. Upon the request to explain how the
calculations of budgetary items are determined, Chris Adams
explained that if money in one line item was deficient, money
from another line item would be pulled and substituted. A
complete review of the budget, as compared to the originally
approved line item budget, was requested to help Diamond Bar
determine the cost effectiveness of each program.
Staff reported a complete review of the budget was requested
and the December 6, 1990 RAB meeting was made a formal meeting
to discuss these issues.
VC/Nardella noted severe concerns for the quality of the
programs to be received with the termination of staff and the
reallocation of budgetary dollars.
Kellee Fritzal, suggested the Commissioners express to staff
any concerns of park programs, or problems of contract classes
they may hear about.
VC/Nardella explained the quality of the contract or leisure
classes should remain the same and the only changes made have
been the termination of the Park Drop-in program, to be in
effect December 1, 1990.
C/Ruzicka inquired as to the attitude of WVR toward the change
in the Park Drop-in program.
VC/Nardella stated, in his opinion, Chris Adams appeared
disgruntled. He explained, every RAB meeting since September,
the Commission has made a significant program change whereby
the WVR must redo budgets, and account for the expenditures
and the reallocation of monies. He asserted the WVRs
interpretation of the budget is that funds have been
contractually committed and are to be allocated to any program
deemed necessary, regardless of the line item budget. Whereas
Diamond Bars position is that if a program is no longer being
provided due to its ineffectiveness, than those monies are no
longer to be contributed. The matter is now with the City
Attorney and will be sorted out shortly.
OLD BUSINESS: Staff presented the Commission with photos of various
Christmas banner themes. This is informational only, if banners are
bought Council will need to approval.
-----------------------------
November 8, 1990 Page 3
Staff informed the Commission of the intent of the Rotary
Club, in conjunction with the interact Club at DBHS, to wrap
three (3) inch red ribbon around light poles to achieve a
candy cane effect, upon the Commissions approval. Staff
requested direction from the Commission to formulate a plan of
action for Christmas of 1990, and a long term plan for future
Christmas themes and its implementation process.
VC/Nardella explained the original intention from the Chamber
of Commerce and the City Council was to start a Christmas
program on a small scale to spruce up the City, perhaps around
the shopping center. He expressed concern for the red ribbon
project because of the amount of light poles in the City.
Kellee Fritzal remarked shopping centers are usually
responsible for their own decorations.
Charles Janiel informed the Commission there are approximately
200 street lights on Diamond Bar Boulevard from Brea Canyon to
Temple.
C/Ruzicka inquired about the costs of wrapping the light
poles.
Staff stated the ribbon will cost approximately $200 to $300
and the Clubs' services are volunteered.
C/Ruzicka commented the cost of wrapping every pole is
marginal. He felt the prod-ect would be well noticed this year
and would enhance the community spirit for next years
Christmas theme.
VC/Nardella expressed concern of possible vandalism if the
wrapping was to cover the whole pole. He suggested beginning
the wrapping at eight (8) feet.
Director Charles Janiel wondered about the safety of young
kids on a 16 foot extension ladder.
VC/Nardella requested staff to allow the decoration of the
light poles with the recommendation to begin wrapping at eight
(8) feet and continue wrapping for eight (8) feet, to include
every pole from Brea Canyon to Temple.
C/Ruzicka suggested the Commission foresee a five (5) year
plan in which decorations could be added gradually each year,
to eventually include banners for all occasions.
VC/Nardella recommended creating subcommittees to handle the
various occasions throughout the year.
VC/Nardella requested staff put the issue of Christmas
decoration on the agenda for January, 1991.
November 8, 1990 Page 4
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Park Drop-in Staff reported meeting with WVR November 5, 1991 to review
Program budget figures. Staff included a letter by City Manager
Robert Van Nort calling for an audit of the program.
In review of the quarterly budget it is feared the monies have
been dissolved within their administrative costs.
VC/Nardella requested the quarterly budget be compared to the
beginning line item budget entered into with WVR.
Kellee Fritzal informed the Commission of a intended meeting,
involving Walnut and Diamond Bar representatives, to discuss
recreation services, and a inventory of the recreation
equipment.
VC/Nardella stressed the importance of conveying the
impression to the RAB that the equipment purchased was
specifically allocated to the area used, and should remain.
C/Ruzicka questioned the scope of WVRs understanding of the
budget.
Staff explained the problem arising is frcm different
interpretations of the budget. WVR believed the monies were
given in good faith and the recreation program :•ras set up to
include the full range of the programs, disregarding line item
budgets. Diamond Bar believed the money was given in
proportion to a line item budget and allocated to specified
areas, with monies returned if a program is canceled.
VC/Nardella emphasized the loss in profit incurred by WVR
should not be solved at Diamond Bar's expense.
CORRESPONDENCE:
Facilities Staff included a memorandum from Dr. David L. Brown from
Usage Rental WVUSD summarizing the Facility Usage Rental for Diamond Bar
Schools. The annual fees for the use of facilities for the
recreation activities for 1991 through 1992 are $103,500.
VC/Nardella stated, for the significant amount of money the
school district is requesting for the use of the fields, the
Commission should coordinate the scheduled use of the
facilities.
C/Ruzicka noted the harsh dealings of WVUSD with the community
and questioned the determination of the usage rates.
Staff explained the school district included all direct and
indirect costs in their interpretation of community usage of
school facilities.

next regular meeting to November 26, 1990.
VC/Nardella reminded the Commission of the December 1, 1990
meeting to discuss the roles and responsibilities of the
Commission and staff. He also reminded the Commission of the
CIP Joint Meeting Tuesday, November 13, 1990 at 3:00 p.m.
Staff informed the Commission of the full agenda to be
discussed on the evening of the Joint Meeting and suggested
the Commissioners arrive at 5:30 p.m., a more accurate time
for the start of discussion for mutual philosophies of the
CIP.
VC/Nardella requested staff convey the time to Commissioner
Whelan and Chairman Nyal.
VC/Nardella inquired as to the progress of Chairman Nyal's
resignation and suggested his replacement be able to attend
the December 1, 1990 meeting as a helpful training exercise.
VC/Nardella stated Mayor Warner is still accepting suggestions
on candidates for replacement on the Commission.

Enhancement criteria manual for the Environmental Enhancement and
and Mitigation Program. Staff
reported a

Director Charles Janiel concurred, and explained that staff,
with the aid of Cal Trans, will try to get funding for
landscaping from City limits at Pomona down to Grand Avenue.
The grant allows only for the planting of trees for the public
benefit of improving the air quality, reducing the heat
levels, and reducing the psychological affects of the
roadways. Cal Trans is preparing plans to fit the specifica-
tions, and is working with staff in preparing the application.

Director Charles Janiel explained the grant is going to be in
progress for ten (10) years therefore if the application is
not completed this year, then it will get done next year.

VC/Nardella pointed out the program ties in with the Chamber
of Commerce "Shop Diamond Bar" program and stated, if the
program works with the Proposition A funds, the program could
be kept running with money from participating merchants to
continue the shuttle on a regular basis.
Kellee Fritzal explained the white bus will have the Diamond
Bar logo for easy visual accessibility and will offer a
transportation alternative to seniors and young people to
shopping centers. The intent is to offer a very flexible
service. Staff stressed to the Commission the importance of
publicizing it among the community.
COMMISSIONER C/Ruzicka announced the season for DBHS football ended with
COMMENTS: a 9 and 1 record and attributed many of his sons
accomplishments to Pop Warner training.
C/Stitt commented on how good it was to see so much
involvement among the community at tonight's meeting. He
stated looking forward to working with C/Ruzicka on the User
Group Sub -Committee.
VC/Nardella requested staff include a summarization of the
pros and cons of the issues, in their reports, as opposed to
just the recommendations of staff. He stated by seeing both
sides of the issue, the Commission is better able to make an
informed decision.

MINUTES,OF THE PARR AND RECREATION COMMISSION
DECEMBER 1, 1990
CALL TO ORDER: VC/Nardella called the meeting to order at 9:15 a.m. at
the City Hall, 21660 East Copley Drive, Suite 100,
Diamond Bar, California.
ROLL CALL: Commissioner Ruzicka, Commissioner Stitt, Commissioner
Whelan, and Vice Chairman Nardella.
Also present were Parks and Maintenance Director Charles
Janiel, Administrative Analyst Kellee Fritzal.
CONSENT CALENDAR: Motion was made by Commissioner Stitt, seconded by
Commissioner Ruzicka and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to approve
the Consent Calendar and the Minutes of November 8, 1990.
NEW BUSINESS:
Public Suggestion Staff included a letter from Mrs. Ayala, a resident of
Memo from Robert Diamond Bar, suggesting the City include a Vendor Fair
Van Nort. onuthe agenda, such as is held in West Covina, to allow
an outlet for expression and creativity. The City
Manager acknowledged the letter and informed Mrs. Ayala
the suggestion had been forwarded to the Parks and
Recreation Commission. If the Commission wants to pursue
the idea further, staff will assess the West Covina
Vendor Fair.
VC/Nardella stated, from experience of handling business
expos, the majority participating in the expo tend to be
businesses, not home businesses from the community. He
agreed there are many home businesses, but doubted there
are many arts and crafts. He asserted there is not a
City site available, nor does the City own booths.
Staff recommended the Commission consider including this
suggestion at the business expo, scheduled at the City
Anniversary in April of 1991.
VC/Nardella questioned the method to be used to contact
these individuals, since there is not a City licensing
process to obtain address information.
C/Ruzicka speculated on the possibility of a network
within these craft businesses, that could assist in
providing the information needed.
C/Whelan suggested to hold the Vendor Fair at scheduled
special events approximately three (3) times a year. The
City could allow them to set up in a corner for a $10.00
fee. The booths would be their responsibility. In
return, the City would provide them with, free
advertisement and publicity.
VC/Nardella questioned if the decision is a matter for
the Park and Recreation Commission.
December 1, 1990
Page 2
Administrative Analyst Kellee Fritzal explained her
concern of beginning the ground work for the project,
then discovering the Commission is opposed to the
suggestion.
C/Whelan reiterated the program could be noted as part of
a special event, to be considered when the Commission
reviews the Special Event calendar. He stated his
concern of becoming involved with setting up arts and
crafts fair for the community. The City could end up
doing it full time, thereby taking away from other groups
involved with these type of projects.
VC/Nardella suggested allowing the groups to participate
at the Second City Anniversary Celebration, and the Ranch
Festival. This would allow the opportunity for these
craft type people to participate in two (2) events,
spring and fall. Anything more frequent, such as
weekends, may not be for the purview of this Commission,
but perhaps more appropriate for the Chamber of Commerce.
Kellee Fritzal acknowledged the suggestions made by the
Commission and will contact the Chamber of Commerce in
regards to the business expos for the Anniversary
Celebration. She stated Mrs. Ayala will be contacted and
staff will try to obtain more information on the
suggested program.
VC/Nardella stated the cost of rental booths at the Ranch
Festival are approximately $120.00 to $150.00 for three
(3) days. The group should be informed the City cannot
afford to buy booths at this point in time, nor is there
land available for their project. The rental costs would
have to be covered by them.
C/Ruzicka contended an organization may already exist in
handling programs such as these. In that event, the City
would only handle the liability insurance and the clean
up of the park.
VC/Nardella requested staff respond to Mrs. Ayala by
obtaining information on the organization of their
program, and notify her the information will be sent to
the Economic Development Director and to the Chamber of
Commerce.
Historical Staff reported Mr. John Isaack, a resident of Diamond
Pictures. Bar for 23 years, would like to donate historical
pictures of Diamond Bar to the City or a Historical
Society. There is no Historical Society in Diamond Bar
nor anyone collecting historical pictures. Though the
library has some photographs and documents, it is not a
collection which is on view. There are three (3) options
before the Commission:
Decamber 1, 1990 Page 3
1. Ask Mr. Isaack to donate the pictures to the City
to begin a collection of Historical interest.
2. Ask Mr. Isaack to donate the pictures to the
Diamond Bar Library, thereby losing control of the
pictures.
3. To devise an alternative plan.
Staff requested a recommendation from the Commission to
give to the City Manager and the City Council.
C/Ruzicka stated his enthusiasm of maintaining control of
the pictures and inquired if there is a location
available to store the donation.
Staff was uncertain as to the amount of space needed to
store the pictures adequately but suggested retaining
them at City Hall until there is an acceptable area to
display them one day.
C/Ruzicka advocated the acquisition of the pictures from
Mr. Isaack and anyone else wishing to donate pictures to
the City. He suggested the decision of a location for a
permanent storage space could be done at a later date.
VC/Nardella was concerned not only with adequate storage
space but also with the tendency of letting the
collection sit unless there is someone actively involved
with preserving the pictures.
C/Ruzicka recommended getting the Senior Citizens
involved with initiating a Historical Society. They can
be responsible for sorting and framing the pictures and
decorating City Hall.
Kellee Fritzal stated each level of City commitment to
its history is different. Many display fra=med pictures
at their City Hall, schools and/or the Historical Society
location. The issue should be resolved immediately so as
not to lose possession of the pictures.
VC/Nardellalrecommended accepting the pictures pending a
final disposition of a place to store them. He
recommended to the Council that the City become a
temporary repository for these type of items until a
formation of a Historical Society, who will coordinate
the efforts to preserve the historic data and the
photographic history of the City.
December 1, 1990
OLD BUSINESS:
Page 4
RFP -Recreation Staff reported the closing date for the RFP for
Services. recreation was November 28, 1990. There are three (3)
proposals; the City of Brea, the Diamond Bar YMCA, and
the Los Angeles County Recreation Department. The in-
house proposal is being prepared in concurrence with
information being received by the other proposals. Staff
is in the process of reviewing the documents. It is
recommended a sub -committee be formed to interview
proposed recreation providers, as needed. The interview
dates will be set for the second week in December of
1990.
C/Ruzicka stated his reservation of being qualified to
interview recreation providers. He suggested a sub-
committee be formed, with a knowledge of recreation
services, to speak in behalf of the Commission.
VC/Nardella inquired when the matrix will be available.
Kellee Fritzal reported the County has not yet completed
the RFP and when it arrives, a matrix can then be
concluded. The information will be given to the sub-
committee for their review. A matrix should be completed
by December 7, 1990.
C/Whelan asked staff their opinion of the proposals
received and if they -appeared realistic.
VC/Nardella agreed with the necessity of forming a sub-
committee, if there will be interviewing. He requested,
prior to the interviews, a matrix be given to the
Commission and also the results of the Park and
Recreation Survey. The information from the survey will
indicate the type of programs desired in order to direct
the interview process.
C/Ruzicka invited C/Whelan and VC/Nardella to sit on the
sub -committee.
I�
C/Stitt stated his desire to sit in on the interviews and
contribute whenever possible.
Kellee Fritzal informed the Commission of the scheduled,
which include: the completion of the matrix and the
results of the survey on December 7, 1990; the sub-
committee interviews on December 10 or 11, 1990; the
Commissioners meeting on December 13, 1990 in which the
staff requests a recommendation to go to the City Council
in late December or early January. She recommended the
Commission review their calendar for the 10th or 11th of
December as a way of determining who is available to be
on the sub -committee.
December 1, 1990
Page 5
Director Charles Janiel pointed out if the Commission
gets into negotiations, time must be allotted for the
representatives to redo budget items and return the
information back to us.
VC/Nardella wondered how responsive the representatives
would be if the Commission requested cuts in staffing as
well as cuts in the presentations of particular programs
and their emphasis. He questioned if there were
provisions made to allow Diamond Bar the option of
obtaining any financial information needed without undue
problems as was the case with the WVR.
Kellee Fritzal responded she does not feel revising the
proposals will be a particular problem. She stated staff
included in the contract stipulations allowing access to
the financial reports, as well as specifying monthly
meetings to review the progress of the programs. Staff
emphasized in the contract that the recreation program to
be offered will be publicized as a Diamond Bar Recreation
Service, to include our name and logo.
VC/Nardella indicated the decision of the Commission is
to appoint C/Whelan and C/Stitt on the sub -committee to
meet December 11, 1990, at 2:00 p.m. VC/Nardella will
serve as an alternative.
VC/Nardella requested -pertinent information such as the
CIP budget, the Recreation contract, the Park survey, and
items concerning the Parks and Recreation, be copied and
distributed to the new Commissioner, David Meyer.
Commission Staff reported the Handbook distributed to the
Handbook. Commission was approved by the City Council and contains
general information, membership and operations,
Commission role, legal restraints and specific park and
recreation activities. Staff stated they will review the
Handbook with the Commission and any questions will be
explained.
C/Whelan inquired if the Commission may change the
designated time and date of a meeting. He explained his
work has created a conflict of being able to attend
meetings at the designated date and time with the
dedication desired.
Staff responded the Commission can alter meeting dates,
times, and location with notice duly given to the public.
VC/Nardella requested staff look into possible dates,
times, and locations available, and inform the Commission
at the next meeting of December 13, 1990.
December 1, 1990
Page 6
VC/Nardella questioned why sub -committees are not
compensated, especially for those Council had requested
to be formed.
VC/Nardella inquired how closely the procedures are
followed in respect to the Commissioners requests.
Kellee Fritzal explained she gives weekly summaries to
the City Manager with information on her activities
concerning the Parks and Recreation Commission. She
explained her responsibilities are assessed by the City
Manager, and she follows his direction.
C/Ruzicka noted many requests made by the Commission had
not been responded to by staff and inevitably forgotten
causing delays and disorder. He wondered to what extent
Commissioners requests are ensued.
Kellee Fritzal stated, after each meeting with every
Commission, staff will be listing requests made, stating
the staff responsible, and including a time frame, which
will then be given to the City Manager.
VC/Nardella recommended when the time frame is created,
the item should appear on the agenda and calendared
regardless of whether a report was made or not.
C/Whelan asked if adding emergency items to the agenda is
addressed within the Handbook.
Kellee Fritzal stated the item should have been included
and staff will check its whereabouts.
C/Whelan inquired if he were to make a presentation
before the City Council in behalf of Unocal to develop a
piece of property in the City, would there be a conflict
of interest.
il
Staff suggested referring any item to the City Attorney
before commencing with an action.
VC/Nardella asked how frequently the Handbook will be
updated.
Kellee Fritzal replied the Handbook can be readily
amended throughout the year and will be reviewed on a
yearly basis.
COMMISSIONER C/Ruzicka requested the last meeting of the sports
COMMENTS: organizations be covered on the next agenda item.
December 1, 1990
Page 7
VC/Nardella reported asking the Council their attitude on
the garden concept in regards to the Pantera property.
At first, the idea was not whole heartedly received but
as the discussion continued they realized if money isn't
available, negotiation with Arciero could be made. At
that point, direction to staff was given to look into
Arciero's obligations. He stated the project is a dead
issue until such time the Arciero issued is resolved.
VC/Nardella reported the money returned to the City from
the Ranch Festival is $10,000.00 dollars. The money is
supposed to come to the Parks and Recreation Commission.
However, it was suggested if the Commission would like to
initiate a project such as putting up banners along the
boulevard or the banner poles, the Ranch FestiVtl could
undertake the project to its completion as opposed to
returning the money. They can accomplish the project for
a lot less money than tie City could because of the RFP
process.
Staff informed the Commission regardless of who initiates
the project, it must first go through the Planning
Commission to establish its approval within the sign
ordinance.
VC/Nardella discussed five (5) possible locations for
double sets of poles -'to be at the corner of Grand and
east of Golden Springs; Grand and Diamond Bar Boulevard;
Diamond Bar Boulevard and Temple; Diamond Bar Boulevard
and Sunset Crossing by the; Diamond Bar Boulevard and
Brea Canyon; and out of town toward Chino Hills.
Charles Janiel asked what the banner will say.
VC/Nardella explained the intent is to notify the
residents of activities such as special events, holiday
decorations, celebrations, and whatever the City would
like to announce. He asserted the project will be
difficult to go to the Council and request a $40,000
dollar budget to install five (5) banners, and
suggested having two (2) or three (3) locations.
C/Ruzicka suggested installing the banners at Diamond Bar
Boulevard at Temple, Grand, and Brea Canyon.
C/Stitt suggested installing them at Diamond Bar
Boulevard and Sunset Crossing, Grand, and Brea Canyon.
C/Whelan suggested Colima and Brea Canyon, Diamond Bar
Boulevard and Grand and Sunset Crossing.
C/Ruzicka summarized the five (5) favorable. locations are
Diamond Bar Boulevard and Grand; Grand and Golden
December 1, 1990
Page 8
Springs; Diamond Bar Boulevard and Brea Canyon; Colima and
Brea Canyon; Diamond Bar Boulevard and Sunset Crossing; and
Pathfinder and Brea Canyon.
VC/Nardella stated the reason for informally discussing the
project as opposed to placing it on the agenda is to,
first, wait until information concerning the actual costs
can be reviewed, and second, is to determine if the
Commission prefers to see this project initiated or prefers
to see the $10,000 dollars be put into the holders brackets
on the board.
C/Ruzicka stated his preference would be see both issues
eventually accomplished, but feels the poles are useful in
announcing special events and helpful in showing good will
with WVUSD by advertising their special events.
C/Whelan stated he would rather see the banners as opposed
to the individual pole flags because it seems to have a
bigger impact within the community.
Staff stated to rely on community groups to install banners
on a long time basis would be difficult and stated
contractors would have to be used.
VC/Nardella reported there is no inventory concerning the
RAB.

MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OCTOBER 22, 1990
Chairman Schey called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.
in the Walnut Valley School District Board Meeting Room,
880 South Lemon Street., Walnut, California.
The audience was led in the Pledge of Allegiance by
Vice Chairman Harmony.
Commissioner Grothe, Commissioner Lin, Commissioner
MacBride, Vice Chairman Harmony, and Chairman Schey.
Also present were Planning Director James DeStefano,
Associate Planning Director Robert Searcy, City Attorney
Bill Curley, Interim City Planner Irwin Kaplan, Assistant
City Engineer Jack Istik, and Secretary (contract) Liz
Myers.
Motion made by VC/Harmony, and seconded by C/Grothe and
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to approve the Consent Calendar and
the minutes of October 8, 1990.
Consideration Staff reported the Resolution for Denial, before the
Resolution of Commission, had been prepared, by staff and the City
Denial for Attorneys office, in compliance with the conclusion of
47722 & CUP/OT the October 8, 1990 Public Hearing. The Resolution
89-338. had been faxed to the developer, and the developers'
environmental consultant, and is presented for adoption
tonight.
Motion made by VC/Harmony, seconded by C/MacBride to
adopt the Resolution for Denial. Motion CARRIED with
C/Grothe abstaining.
Request for
Staff reported the property is located along the north
Extension of
side of Clear Creek Canyon Drive generally between
Tentative Tract
Cleghorn Drive and Monument Drive. The project consists
45678 & CUP/OT
of ten (10) lots located on two (2) acres, nine (9)
87-373
lots proposed for single family residential development,
and lot ten (10) proposed as open space. The project
received a conditional approval from Los Angeles County
on March 22, 1988. The tentative tract map, conditional
use permit and Oak tree permits expired on March 22,
1990. The final tract map was presented for approval by
the City Council on February 20, 1990, in which the
applicant had responded to a variety of project
conditions, but failed to clear the CC&Rs with the City
Attorney. As a result, the map was denied by the City
Council. Subsequently, the applicant had requested an
extension of time on February 26, 1990, but, as of this
date, the map has not gone before the City Council for a
final review
October 22, 1990 Page 2
because the CC&Rs remain an issue. Staff recommended the
Planning Commission deny the request for an extension.
Chair/Schey asked staff to clarify if the primary issue
before the Commission is the failure of the applicant to
.comply with the CC&Rs over the years.
Bill Curley, City Attorney, stated the CC&Rs have been
received by the office but not reviewed because of the
assumption the map had terminated on its own accord. He
stated if the Commission should decide to extend the map,
then the documents will be given a full review.
Chair/Schey inquired how the subdivision conforms with
the present criteria.
James DeStefano, Planning Director, stated a lot
averaging process was used to obtain the 8,000 sq. ft.
minimum requirement of the County, which the City no
longer advocates. He stated, other than this major
issue, the map would probably meet all current standards
within the zone.
C/MacBride asked if there are unique features to the
CC&Rs in the area.
Bill Curley responded the primary issue is the slope
maintenance of the undevelopable areas of each of the
lots, and the maintenance of the common areas.
VC/Harmony asked if there is access to the open space.
Jack Istik, Assistant City Engineer, responded there is
an easement, showing, across a portion of lot nine (9).
Chair/Schey asked the applicant to respond.
Mr. Prescott, clerk to Dr. Omars attorney, stated, in
July of 1990, staff requested the applicant change three
(3) words on the map and draw one line representing the
slope crest. The applicant complied and received verbal
approval from staff. He stated the CC&R were prepared
and submitted mid March, but the dates for the City
Council review were never honored due to various
circumstances. The CC&Rs do provide care of the slopes
by the homeowners. He stated the applicant will do
modifications, at the Commissions request, but believed
the documents, as presented, should satisfy the City
requirements. He asserted the delays were not due to the
applicants failure, but the organizational process of the
City.
October 22, 1990 Page 3
Chair/Schey inquired as to why the tentative tract map
had never been recorded since the subdivision had con-
ditions of approval since 1987.
Mr. Prescott noted his inability to speak for that period
of time, but stated it was his understanding the map was
recorded since the grant of title to the homeowners asso-
ciation was submitted March 15, 1990 and the tract re-
ference was accepted.
Bill Curley explained, when the CC&Rs were submitted
March 15, 1990, staff made a full inquiry into the status
of the map because the tentative map had not been
approved nor recorded. Staff researched dates and timing.
There was no indication by the City Clerks office, the
Council had granted an extension but showed the request
was denied for final approval because of non-compliance.
In referencing back to the records of the Council, it
indicated the map, for all intent and purposes, expired
on its own accord. However, staffs' follow up inquiry
identified there had an assertion and a request for
extension submitted by the applicant.
Mrs. Omar stated the project was approved by the County
except for the CC&Rs. They have tried to comply, and had
provided staff with the CC&Rs in March of 1990. She
stated they have put in a lot of time, money, and effort
and requested an extension.
VC/Harmony asked if the changes in the CC&Rs have met
with Councils criteria.
Bill Curley replied staff has not scrutinized the map
because it appeared to have expired. He stated it
wouldn't take long to review the status of the CC&Rs, if
the Commission decides to grant an extension of the map.
James Destefano stated, generally speaking, it meets all
of the requirements because the requirements are prin-
cipally the same as they were with the County. The
philosophy is different concerning Oak trees and lot
averaging. The Oak tree Setback has not been determined
because homes are not placed on the site.
Jack Istik stated, even though the map meets the Countys
conditions of approval, he is concerned with the build-
ability of lots 7,8, and 9 because of the small pad area
by a large downhill slope.
Chair/Schey asked if grading plans had been submitted by
the applicant.
October 22, 1990 Page 4
Staff responded that only the tract map had been
submitted.
Chair/Schey asked if the applicant is permitted to modify
the canyon.
.Mr. Prescott stated, in the CC&Rs, the applicant agreed
it will maintain the slope in the low land, in the
original condition. He stated contemplation of grading
will be minimal and the applicant will build on the flat
land.
Jack Istik asked the applicant if the developer would be
willing to place a note on the final map indicating a
restrictive use area, not permitting grading.
Mr. Prescott indicated he is reasonably sure the
applicant would be agreeable to such an action.
VC/Harmony asked what the CC&Rs requirements are, for the
changing of their own CC&Rs.
Mr. Prescott stated with two thirds (2/3) vote, the CC&Rs
can be modified but the applicant has covenanted not to
and would have to obtain the Commissions' approval.
C/MacBride stated he would remain uncomfortable until the
CC&Rs are carefully reviewed. The matter of open space,
and covenants, is very important in view of future
maintenance, proposed transfers and other transfers that
may occur. He is uncomfortable with the lot averaging
and would prefer further information to be presented.
Bill Curley reiterated the reason the final map had been
denied was because of nonconformance. Should an
extension be granted, the map would not come back to the
Commission. He expressed, if the intent is to receive
more information to assure the map conforms with the
current design standards, an extension would not give the
Commission an opportunity to place new conditions upon
it, but rather allow the applicant more time to gather
incomplete items to present to the Council. He stated
the matter is out of the Commissions hands to put any new
conditions or requirements on this issue.
C/Lin inquired if the frontage of the homes would be
narrow because the pads are small.
Staff, without viewing the area, speculated the frontage
would be consistent to the rest of the neighborhood.
Ernie Delray, manager of the property across the street
from the site, stated the neighborhood consists of
condominiums with homes above the site.
October 22, 1990
Page 5
C/Grothe inquired if the Commissions' action would go
before the Council.
Bill Curley stated if the Commission does not grant an
extension, the applicant could appeal before the Council.
If the Commission approves the extension, the applicant
could make the appropriate changes before going before
the Council. The merits of the project are as described
in the resolutions originally issued by the County. The
question before the Commission is whether or not to grant
an extension of time.
Chair/Schey stated the project is a simple subdivision
that should have been recorded before Diamond Bar became
a City. Since it was not recorded, and is now subjected
to expiration, the Commission has the obligation to re-
view the map. He does not believe the map meets the cur-
rent City standards, and would make a motion to deny the
request for extension.
VC/Harmony stated he is not convinced the lots are build-
able. He contended there is an element of do diligence,
on staff and the applicant, to assure the process is
administered appropriately.
Motion was made by Chair/Schey and seconded by VC/Harmony
and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to deny the request for exten-
sion.
Review and Staff reported the City Council has scheduled a joint
Comment on study session for Tuesday, November 13, 1990, at 6:00
Draft CIP p.m. to review the initial draft of the Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) and explain the roles and
responsibilities of each Commission. The Planning
Commissions comments, relative to specific projects, will
be forwarded, to the City Council, for their considera-
tion and prioritizing of the projects. Staff explained
the CIP is a master plan, for the next five (5) years, to
plan the allocation of the Citys' financial and land
resources. The CIP would deal with plans for
constructing, repairing and maintaining the Citys parks,
buildings, streets, and other assets, and is funded
through a variety of mechanisms. Staff requested
comments from the Commissioners, relative to the CIP.
C/MacBride had concerns with three (3) items:
1. Street Improvements
Project: Modification of western terminus of
Sunset Crossing Road including possible extension
into City of Industry.
October 22, 1990
Page 6
He was concerned the language, "possible extension
into City of Industry", extends verbal leverage to
outside bodies, and would like to have the wording
eliminated. He would rather have the language
inserted, "... we make plans to develop a connector
link between the two (2) recreational parcels so
they can be more advantageously used for the
benefit of the community."
2. Municipal Buildings and Facilities
Project: City Hall/Community Center
He encouraged describing the center to indicate the
possibility of a multi -faceted Civic Center.
3. Traffic Control
A new project to be included: Diamond Bar Blvd.
Sunset Crossing North to Freeway 57 on ramp
(distance approximately 750 feet), to include
medians for traffic control and aesthetics.
He explained this section of Diamond Bar Blvd. is a
part of the state freeway 57 system, and is
temporarily signed to connect the 57 and 60. He
stated the on-ramp has (5) traffic movements. The
painted median safeguards (8) commercial driveways,
(3) fast food centers, (3) street exits and
entrances, (3) fire plugs and (2) bus stops. He
requested the project be included in the CIP and
requested research as to the occurrence of the
situation.
C/Grothe was concerned with items:
1. He advocated separating the project City
Hall/Community Center and recommended expending
money towards City improvements first and continue
leasing office space for City Hall.
2. Landscaping and Irrigation
Project: Correct widespread deficiencies of
sidewalks, curbs, and gutters.
He recommended adding street lighting to the
project. He stressed avoiding capital improvements
that would leave "holes" of unimproved areas within
the City.
3. He stated additional areas in need of capital
improvement are on Golden Springs, Diamond Bar
Blvd. at Lorbeer, and Diamond Bar Blvd. in front of
the triplexes. He explained there have been
center median improvements, but the smaller asphalt
medians, separating Diamond Bar Blvd. from frontage
streets, have been neglected.
October 22, 1990

Chair/Schey referred to the items:

2.
Street Improvements
Project: Resurface Golden Springs Road from Grand
Avenue to Brea Canyon Road.
He requested adding the installation of proper
curb, gutter, and sidewalk along the north side of
Golden Springs.
Traffic Control
Project: Construction of bus turnouts along
regularly traveled bus routes.
He questioned the necessity of the project. He
stated the County recently did substantial
concreting of pads at bus stops, and, in most
cases, there is no room to widen roads, nor a need
to.
3. Traffic Control
Project: Construction of circulation barrier to
deter traffic using Quail Summit Drive and Rolling
Knoll Drive as an alternate access between Diamond
Bar Blvd. and Grand Avenue.
He realized the area is of concern to the residents
but questioned the action as an appropriate method
of controlling an undetermined problem.
4. Electrical Systems
Project: Underground installation of electrical
components along Diamond Bar Boulevard, removing
unsightly overhead wires.
He urged the inclusion of underground wires beyond
Sunset Crossing to extend toward the City limits.
5. Parks and Recreation
Project: Replacement
playground equipment
Canyon Parks.
of obsolete and/or damaged
at Heritage and Sycamore
He requested the project be expanded to all City
parks. He noted (4) small parks he felt should be
recognized, located at Softwind and Stardust,
Longview east of Brookwood, Longview near Summit
Ridge, and Longview near Cold Springs Court.
6. He concurred with C/Grothe on the necessity of
including street lighting when correcting sidewalk,
curbs, and gutters.
October 22, 1990
Page 8
C/Harmony discussed the items:
1. He concurred with C/MacBride extending Sunset
Crossing into the City of Industry would be
undesirable. He emphasized the City of Industry is
a light industrial center to be wedged between two
(2) major residential cities, creating undesirable
environmental impacts, too close to Diamond Bars'
recreational facilities.
2. He cautioned the improvement of public facilities,
as they relate to our boundaries, can facilitate or
complicate development outside the City of Diamond
Bar, within our well-defined sphere of influence.
He advised waiting on improvements until future
developers offer assurance of annexing with the
City, allowing the capability to regulate the kind
of developments to occur in the area.
3. He stated, in reference to a Community Center, it
should be encouraged to obtain centralized land to
house all community needs. He stated rent for the
Commission and the consultants, at City Hall,
totals $120,000 a year, and he would prefer to
upgrade the old Post Office site, on a temporary
lease basis for five (5) to ten (10) years, before
buying another parcel of land strictly for City
governmental use.
4. He requested from staff a report on the sources
available to obtain additional grants and funding,
other than taxes, and staffs' opinion as to the
best possibilities of capturing these dollars.
C/Lin was concerned with the item:
1. Sewer and Storm Drain Systems
Project: Upgrading of existing sewer pump stations
throughout the City.
She inquired as to the amount of stations currently
servicing the City, and the urgency of the project.
Jack Istik responded there are five (5) sewer pump
stations the County is in the process of
redesigning because of breaking mains. There is a
chance, due to the Health Department requirements,
the City is bound to repair them. However, the Los
Angeles County Office of Public Works has not yet
approached the City with costs.
October 22, 1990 Page 9
PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS:
Variance 90-101. Staff reported the environmental assessment and
variance is an application for the construction of
an approximately 6,300 sq. ft., three story, single
family residence, in excess of 35' above average
finished grade, on a .9 acre lot, and located at
1741 Derringer Road, in a zone R-1-40,000, of the
Country Estates.
Robert Searcy, Associate Planning Director,
reported the rectangular site is one (1) acre in
size, but the buildable area is limited due to the
topography of the lot. The design of the residence
is a typical pad type design, being proposed for a
parcel with slopes in excess of 50 percent. The
lot possesses 151 feet of frontage and the average
lot depth is 468 feet. The lot slopes from south
to north and a ravine traverses the rear portion of
the property sloping to the east. The property is
covered by natural grasses and a stand of trees is
located to the rear of the site. A retaining wall
and stilts must be constructed in order for the pad
and structure to be completed as designed. The
structure will reach in excess of 40 feet above the
average finished grade, and an additional 15 feet
of the structure will be visible from the western
elevation. From the eastern elevation, the
residence will have the appearance of a one floor
structure. The in application was submitted to
the Los Angeles County Regional Planning, at which
time it was denied. The applicant waited, until
the City took over the planning functions, to file
a plot plan. The application was denied by staff
because the design did not conform to the height
limits. The applicant is now appealing the denial
in the form of this variance application. Staff
recommended denial of the environmental assessment
and variance.
Chair/Schey declared the Public Hearing open.
Pete Volbeda, architect for the project, residing
at 630 Brea Canyon Road, Walnut, stated the lot is
one of few, along Derringer, that has no pad, and
in which the site drops straight down from the
asphalt pavement. The home cannot be designed like
the adjacent residents. To design the house more
closely to the natural terrain, in which a road is
taken down at 15%, would be an expensive alterna-
tive to the applicant. The applicant is asking for
a six (6) foot, two (2) inch variance above the
allowable height, and stated there are other homes
October 22, 1990 Page 10
in the Country meeting the exact height the appli-
cant is now proposing. He maintained the Country
is running out of flat lots and the Commission will
be seeing more requests for variances in the
future. He urged the Commission to view the
variance as a hardship claim.
VC/Harmony acknowledged the Country is running out
of developable lots, many at the edge of cliffs
requiring inventiveness in development. He does
not perceive this to be enough reason to justify a
hardship claim.
Pete Volbeda stressed, at the time the applicant
submitted the plan, the County standards allowed
measuring from the average finished grade to the
mid point of the highest gable, and now the City
determines the height to the top of the ridge.
VC/Harmony pointed out the City adopted County
standards after the County had made the modifi-
cations.
Chair/Schey noted the applicants' design had not
conformed to County standards, and was thereby
denied.
Vigal Vakeel, owner of the house, stated several
homes are being built in the Country the same size
or higher. He stated the plan is the only
affordable design he can build, and asked for
relief, from the Commission, to allow the height
difference.
Chair/Schey declared the Public Hearing closed.
C/Grothe suggested adopting standards, specifically
for the Country, to fit desired ridge home develop-
ments, as opposed to encouraging more grading, to
achieve flat lands, to meet present City standards.
He would like to allow for some imagination, and
asserted if 90% of homes would not comply to the
standards, then the Commission should reevaluate
those standards.
Chair/Schey commented it was typical of the County
to grant very lenient interpretations of the codes,
as is evident in the Country. He asserted the
standards are not wrong, but rather there has been
a lack of consistency, giving the idea any design
will be approved. He stated there must be a mini-
mum standard, at some point, and he did not feel
the standards pose any undue restrictions.
October 22, 1990 Page 11
VC/Harmony asked what would result, if the appli-
cation was made to comply to City standards.
Staff believed it possible to redesign the house to
utilize more of the slope by changing the elevation
of the floors. Another alternative would be to
redesign the roof, to lower the height.
C/Grothe concurred there should be a minimum stan-
dard. However, he felt the standard was written
for flat land development, and did not make rea-
sonable provisions for hilltop development. He
directed staff to survey the amount of homes not
complying with the current standards.
VC/Harmony believed more than 700 of homes, in the
Country, comply with the current standard. The
lots remaining are the most difficult to develop,
and the homes are becoming more massive. To pro-
tect the specialized zoning of the Country, the
standard must be maintained.
Chair/Schey stated surveying homes, would only de-
monstrate the amount of variances permitted. It
would not demonstrate if complying to the standards
was achievable. He asserted, in some cases, a
variance would be appropriate, but he was not con-
vinced there are extenuating circumstances in this
particular variance. He is not convinced the cur-
rent standard is unreasonable.
C/Lin concurred with the necessity of maintaining a
minimum standard, but agreed with C/Grothe to allow
changes to height requirement to accommodate some
of the more difficult to develop lots remaining in
the Country. She would consider a variance in the
present case, since the house was designed years
ago, but in the future, she proposed revising the
current standards to allow for the unique circum-
stances of the remaining lots.
VC/Harmony asserted the revised standards the
County effected, were developed with the Country in
mind, to prevent the massive structures being
developed.
Motion was made by C/Grothe, and seconded by
C/MacBride, to deny the application for an
environmental assessment and variance. MOTION
CARRIED.
4 AYES - C/Grothe, C/MacBride, VC/Harmony, and
Chair/Schey.
1 NAY - C/Lin
Chair/Schey stated surveying homes, to determine
the need of creating a new ordinance to accommodate
the development in the Country, would require a lot
October 22, 1990
Page 12
of work for a small remaining portion of undeve-
loped lots. _
C/MacBride concurred the existing regulation is
reasonable, and regardless of the requirements
determined, there will always be applications for
variances to the rule.
C/Grothe mentioned, besides the issue of heighth,
he is concerned with sideyard setbacks in relation
to the size of homes.
Chair/Schey stated crafting an ordinance to meet
all contingencies and potential issues would be
impossible. The only way to mediate these issues
would be through a design review.
James DeStefano suggested an alternative, to
looking at a large variety of houses, to determine
average height, would be for the Commissioners to
pin point homes appealing in bulk and mass. Staff
can do a comparative research on the homes to help
establish standards.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: VC/Harmony announced that on Saturday, he has an
appointment with the Fire Chief of Los Angeles
County to determine if fire trucks can climb a 15%
grade, after turning around on a cul de sac, at the
Gold Rush development. He stated if the meeting
becomes something of interest, perhaps it could be
arranged for the Commission to ride on the fire
truck.
C/Grothe declared Gold Rush is impossible to exit
since the new home development.
C/MacBride stated he will be unable to attend the
November 13, 1990 study session.
Staff explained the study session of November 13,
1990 will commence at 3:00 p.m. to review the
Interim Ordinance for Hillside Regulations and the
Interim Ordinance for Commercial Manufacturing Land
Uses. The Council has arranged to meet with the
other Commissions, at 6:00 p.m., to discuss,
specifically, the CIP.
Staff, in response to the inquiry from C/MacBride,
stated the Sign Ordinance will be.presented for the
Commissions review on the meeting of November 26,
1990 and will be delivered in the Commissioners
packet on November 16, 1990.

MacBride, Vice Chairman Harmony, and Chairman Schey.
Also present were Planning Director James DeStefano,

OLD BUSINESS:
Consideration
Staff reported the resolution prepared is in conform
Resolution of
ance with the direction given by the Commission at the
Denial for
last Planning Commission Meeting of October 22, 1990.
Variance 90-0101.
Since then staff has had an opportunity to meet with the
applicant and the architect to discuss possible changes
to the drawings. The architect prepared a letter dated
November 13; 1990, requesting an opportunity to speak in
regards to the matter. Staff requested to see any speci-
fic changes to be made prior to tonights hearing, so as
to advise the applicant, the architect, and the Planning
Commission appropriately. However, no new drawings were
presented. There is, before the Commission, a Resolution
of Denial and a letter from the applicant requesting to
be heard.
VC/Harmony requested the applicant be allowed a five (5)
minute presentation.
Chair/Schey, with the consensus of the Commission, per-
mitted the applicant to speak before the Commission.
Fete Volbeda clarified the original height denied by the
County was 48 feet, not the 35 foot height presented to
the Commission. He stated the six (6) foot variance on
the height could, be altered to three (3) or four (4)
feet, and claimed it would be much easier to work with
November 26,1990
Page 2
the given shape as opposed to not receiving any height
variance at all.
James DeStefano, Planning -Director, stated the discussion
to find alternatives to the granting of the height
variance requested, occurred at the meeting with the
applicant three (3) weeks ago. Staff suggested to
redesign the roof, but the client was concerned it would
not provide the vaulted ceilings desired throughout the
home. Another concept suggested by staff was to drop the
house a few feet below the proposed elevation in order to
find a desireable medium from the 7 foot variance
requested. The purpose of requesting drawings prior to
the meeting was to allow for staff review and to present
an amended recommendation, or some other action, to the
Commission. The difficulty in the applicants
presentation is the lack of specificity as to where the
few feet variance will come from. Staff suggested it is
not appropriate for the Commission to have to decide on
possible options to variances at this particular time.
Bill Curley, City Attorney, explained if the Commission
has an interest in pursuing a redesign, the proper motion
would not be to go into discussion or analysis, but
rather to request a continuance allowing the applicant an
opportunity to work with staff to find designing options.
The alternative would be a denial, if the Commission
thought it could be worked out without prejudice, to give
the applicant an opportunity to turn around with a
redesigned project.
Chair/Schey affirmed his view that any height difference
is therefore a variance and must be taken as a complete
package and resubmitted through the proper channels for
negotiations. He stated his inclination to approve the
resolution ds written.
VC/Harmony concurred and reiterated the 35 foot standard
was adopted by the County after incorporation. He
stressed it is a needed standard and one that should be
enforced. He questioned the necessity of approving the
resolution without prejudice and inquired if the project
has been on the same application process since being
denied by the County.
Staff explained the applicant resubmitted a different
application and a different design than was denied by the
County. They maintained by using the clause "without
prejudice" allows the applicant an opportunity to show
a circumstance that may have alluded the Commission
previously.

Developmental Staff reported a developmental code draft was received
Code Status approximately September 5, 1990, and passed around to a
Report. variety of people. Many good comments are now being re-
ceived and staff is in the process of restructuring the
code. Due to the complexity of formulating zoning issues
to pertain to Diamond Bar needs in preparation for a de-
velopmental code standard, it is going to take more work
than originally anticipated. A document for the Commis-
sions review will be ready sometime in January, 1991.
Sign Ordinance Staff reminded the Commission of the decision made at
Status Report. the last discussion, concerning the sign ordinance, to
have staff work with the City Attorney to put the working
document into an ordinance format, preparing it for adop-
tion by the Commission and by the City Council. It was
indicated the document would be sent out to a wide va-
riety of people to advertise a hearing tentatively set
for tonight. This was not done because the document is
not in the proper shape staff is comfortable with. The
City Attorney found many areas of inconsistencies ori-
ginally not noted and some concerns pertaining to defini-
tions which could cause problems from a legal defense
stand point. The reason for the delay is the concern on
how to implement and explain the document so the public
can understand it.
VC/Harmony questioned if staff needs direction from the
Commission.,
Bill Curley stated the bulk of the problem isn't the need
for Planning Commission policy direction, but for mechan-
ical cleanup of the document.
VC/Harmony requested staff take the initiative to rewrite
the document, with the knowledge that a simplification is
far preferable.
Bill Curley acknowledged the preference and stated the
mechanical problems of the document concerning defini-
tions is just one element. The key beyond the defini-
tions is the application of those definitions, whereas
the level of intensity, or lack of it, of the sign pro-
grams are as the Commission prefers.
C/MacBride specified the Commissions intent was not to
have an aggressive abatement of nonconforming sign pro-
gram. The attempt is to have an amortization program,
November 26,1990
Page 4
discouraging a continuance of offensive signs, that would
eventually meld the entire program throughout the years.
Bill Curley inquired if the Commission has concerns with
the application packet. He explained the applicant must
depict every sign and every structure within a 100 ft
radius around the site. A complete monitoring of appli-
cations would be a nightmare for both staff and the ap-
plicant. He requested the Commission give certain dis-
cretion to his office and the planning staff to develop
workable processees.
Chair/Schey stated the Commission would leave it to staff
to formulate the application packet in such a way to gat-
her enough information to make a reasoned recommendation.
James DeStefano noted two (2) representatives of the
Ramada Inn who may want to speak in regards to the item.
He stated it is up to the Commission to allow for a pre-
sentation since it is not a Public Hearing.
Chair/Schey, with the consensus of the Commission, re-
quested the representative from Ramada Inn speak before
the Commission.
Jack Williamson, 259 Gentle Springs Lane, representing
Ramada Classics, pointed out the recent down turn in the
hotel market also affecting Ramadas decrease in business.
The Ramada relies on all available advertisements to
generate revenues in Diamond Bar and keep a competitive
edge. He informed the Commission they are working dili-
gently with staff to come up with sign alternatives to
keep within the parameters, be visually appealing, yet
attract people to their business. They will make a pre-
sentation in hopes to be considered a special interest
case. ,
VC/Harmony inquired if the plan for a Marriot in Diamond
Bar will go on through.
James DeStefano responded that information from the de-
velopers toward alternative land uses have been received.
The developer has considered the possibilities of office
buildings at the pad the hotel was previously proposed
and a new proposal may be forthcoming sometime in Decem-
ber, 1990.
Jack Williamson emphasized the fact the Country is headed
for more troubled times in the hotel business and stress-
ed they need as much help as possible.
C/MacBride asked if a study, relating to our Community in
terms of leader signs, has been done.
November 26,1990
Page 5
Jack Williamson responded it is very difficult to find a
leader sign or to afford one. He explained most leader
signs are corporately sponsored, but this is not the case
with the Ramada. It is much easier for the Ramada to put
up something at one time, and on location.
James DeStefano explained there are strict standards on
what is allowable in urbanized areas. Commercial signage
is not allowed. There are two (2) elements against off-
site signage, which are the lack of billboard space, and
the Department of Transportation regulations.
Chair/Schey summarized the discussion stating staff and
the City Attorneys office will massage the document fur-
ther, distribute to the appropriate interested parties,
and then set a hearing date.
Staff concurred and stated the projected date for the
Hearing will be January 7, 1991 and the document will be
ready for advertising and review around December 7 or 10,
1990.
VC/Harmony asserted staff and the City Attorney could as-
sume the Commissions support to make notes on any major
changes, and advise the Commission as such.
C/MacBride upheld the importance the foundation of the
document be as acceptable as possible from the beginning
to establish acceptance from the public, not animosity.
Bill Curley contended if the Commission is comfortable
with the signage concepts such as the density and inten-
sity of the signs, then the document will not be altered
all that much. The difficulty is the trappings sur-
rounding it that make it work, such as the mechanics, the
application process, and the definitions. Those elements
need to be smoothed out to make sense of it.
C/Grothe stated his consent to postpone the date of the
projected advertisement of the document, if staff feels
it is not yet completely acceptable.
Chair/Schey related to the Commissioners to note their
comments on the draft and relay them to staff.
Status Report Staff reported four (4) members have been found for the
SEATAC. SEATAC from local colleges. They have met once with the
purpose of touring the site. They are scheduled to meet
again next week and will then meet a third time to con-
clude their analysis and provide the information to staff
to incorporate it into these projects. The Commissions
will then review it at a later date. The committee mem-
bers were approved by the City Council by staffs recom-
mendations. The committee is more of a task force rather
November 26,1990
Page 6
than an ongoing commission and will come into play when
there is a project located within a SEA area.
VC/Harmony stated his satisfaction with the qualifica-
tions of the members chosen. He was concerned with the
fact they are all local people which could lead to the
possibility of a specialized view of the neighborhood.
He questioned why there was not someone chosen from out-
side the area, and why, contrary to the County SEATAC, so
few members were chosen as well.
James DeStefano explained an administrative decision was
made to keep the task force small therefore more manage-
able than the County task force. The goal was to gather
five (5) people but it was difficult obtaining qualified
individuals who were willing to devote the time needed on
the projects along with accepting the compensation offer-
ed to them. He explained the reason professional consul-
tants were not brought in was to keep the ideas fresh and
free of conflict of interests.
Chair/Schey suggested more individuals might have been
interested in joining the task force had they been offer-
ed enough compensation to justify the amount of time and
work being asked of them.
VC/Harmony inquired why the applicant hired the EIR
consultant, and not the City.
Staff explained the project is caught in the middle of
the City's incorporation, the philosophical changes, the
maturing of the decision makers, and not a process the
City would embrace now. The applicant and the EIR con-
sultant were told it will not be done this way again.
The SEATAC plans to visit the site without the applicants
agent, use the data from the EIR consultant and judge the
adequacy of the material. In the future, the consultant
will be our consultant providing the information to us as
needed.
PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS:
Environmental Staff reported the application is a CUP request to locate
Assessment & a mobile telephone repeater station in a public storage
CUP 90-0109 site located at 275 South Prospectors Road. The request
is unusual in that the property site is in a M-1 zone and
the application is for locating the repeater within a
storage unit which is a 2 story building. The unit will
be located in 2 adjacent units and there will be a 60
foot monopole located within the site but not in the
building. The applicant seeks approval of the unmanned
repeater station for the mobile phone at the storage
unit. The site is a 2.5 acre triangular shaped parcel
with an 8 foot block wall separating the property from
the building and a 2 foot parapet wall separating the
November 26,1990 Page 7
60 foot monopole from thebuilding. There is a landscaped
embankment separating the storage facility from the free-
way. The condominium complex which lies to the southeast
is visually separated from the site by a wrought iron
fence and a row of trees. The site is virtually flat and
is located to the south of the Orange Freeway and ranges
from approximately 15 to 25 feet below the surface of the
road. Currently the City has two (2) repeater stations
or monopoles located at the roof of the Diamond Bar High
School shrouded by a Brahmas canopy and the other is on
the eastern portion of the property which has a DBHS can-
opy surrounding it. The monopole proposed is blue with
antennas extending from the top portion. It will have a
surrounding canopy with no proposed signage. The appli-
cant states the monopole and repeater station will not
interfere with existing TV, radio, satellite, or other
cable communication devices. The repeater equipment is
designed with a fire suppressant system intended to re-
duce the chances of a fire. The land use designation
does not prohibit this type of use at this location. The
land uses immediately surrounding the site are open space
and commercial, and will not conflict with the location
of the repeater station. Staff recommended approval of
the project with consideration of the conditions imposed
in the resolution.
Chair/Schey declared the Public Hearing Open.
Jerome Buckmelter, representing Los Angeles Cellular
Telephone, explained L.A. Cellular Telephone is a public
utility licensed by the FCC and the California Public
Utlities Commission (CPUC), with the responsibility of
providing quality cellular phone service throughout the
greater Los Angeles area. They have been doing business
for three (3) years and have installed 214 cell sites or
repeater stations. The project consists of electronic
equipment, which will not be visible, to be housed in two
(2) storage spaces of a mini -storage facility and a 60
foot monopole with small panel antennas attached to the
top. He pointed out there is need to provide coverage
and capacity to the City and the freeway travelers, and
stated it enhances commerce and adds a new dimension to
private communications. He explained cellular phones can
be the only reliable means of communications during major
disasters, and because they provide free 911 services,
the response time during emergencies can be significantly
reduced. He stated cellular technology is environmentally
safe and will not cause any interference. He explained
a metal pole of light blue with matching antennas will
be installed and suggested eliminating the shroud. The
noise will be minimal with only a light humming of the
air conditioning units.

C/Grothe inquired for an explanation of the temporary
structure installed at the site presently.
Jerome Buckmelter was unaware of anything presently at
the site but suggested it could be a testing unit to
obtain readings.
Chair/Schey asked if anyone desired to speak in favor of
or in opposition to the proposal. The Public Hearing was
declared closed.
VC/Harmony questioned staff if surrounding residents, in-
cluding the condominium association, were notified of the
facility. He also questioned the level of noise from the
air conditioning units.
Staff reported all property owners within a 300 foot
radius of the property site were notified including the
condominium association. The noise from the air condi-
tioning will not exceed the ambient level because of the
proximity to the freeway.
C/Grothe challenged the necessity of adding another free
standing pole along the freeway, especially since the
commission has been discussing eliminating pole signs.
He asserted investigating other options for location of
the pole and would like to exclude the provision allowing
microwave dishes on the antenna.
Jerome Buckmelter responded they need sole access to the
pole and locating the device on another pole becomes com-
plicated due to a necessity for separate easements. He
offered looking into other locations as long as it is
kept in the same geographical area.
N
James DeStefano concurred with the possibility of in-
stalling the device on an existing pole. He notes, if it
goes to an alternative location, there would still be a
need for leasing a small building to store the equipment.
Chair/Schey was concerned the issue would become compli-
cated by relocating to an existing pole because of the
involvement of a third party to obtain storage. He
stated he does not find the proposed pole objectionable
and views it not as a pole sign but more as a utility
pole.
C/MacBride concurred and finds the project useful and
needed. He would like to encourage as easy an accommo-
dation to this type of technology as can be provided. He
stated he sees no comparison of this proposal to signage,
which draws attention.
November 26,1990
Page 9
C/Grothe insisted the CC&Rs disallow homeowners to in-
stall small CB antennas on the roof yet, the Commission
is advocating the installation of a 60 foot pole, with
antennas 50 times the size that is also visually obtru-
sive. He asserted having the applicant find a new site,
using existing poles or buildings which would be less
obtrusive. He agreed the technology is needed but empha-
tically believes any new pole is not needed along the
freeway. He suggested moving the pole away from the
street and back by the freeway corner to keep it visible
to just the freeway traffic as opposed to the whole town.
VC/Harmony stated acceptance of the proposal if the app-
licant could accept a covenant, or restriction requiring
no microwave dishes or additional fixtures other than the
top unit.
C/Lin stated she does not object to the structure but
suggested the applicant explore an alternative location.
Chair/Schey pointed out with this type of facility, it
may be less obtrusive close as opposed to further away.
VC/Harmony recommended, since C/Grothe feels so strongly
on the matter, to continue the application.
Staff stated they will work with the applicant to find
alternative locations on this site or in the immediate
area with illustrations of the appearance of the pole
both on site and off site.
Motion was made by VC/Harmony, seconded by C/MacBride and
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to continue the matter until the next
regular meeting of December 10, 1990 pending further dis-
cussions between -the applicant and the staff on the po-
tential relocation of the site to a location somewhat
further away from Old Prospector Road.

struction. The last phase, which has not occurred, was
to begin by the end of the tenth year. The applicant is
requesting an amendment to the condition within the exis-
ting approval that mandated the ten year time line. In
addition, over the course of the ten years, the applicant
has made some minor changes to the church facilities, and
wish to make some major changes to the final phase of the
prior approval. The staff felt it appropriate to get the
item on the agenda to maintain the time line and require
a thorough review of the major changes desired. The
changes are basically an increase of the sanctuary and
November 26,1990

parking accommodations. The item will probably be
presented to the Commission on the first or second
-meeting in January, 1991, giving adequate notice of the
public hearing.
Chair/Schey asked if the CUP expires today, or if it is
the beginning date of "the third phase, which would
thereby be negated due to non-compliance.
James DeStefano responded the statement of non compliance
would be technically correct. Staff recommended to con-
tinue the extension until the first meeting in January,
1991, in order to keep the permit alive.
Chair/Schey summarized the reason for the extension is to
grant a waiver of the condition for a period of time.
C/Grothe inquired if the extension is for the third phase
or the entire property. He questioned if the conditions
of the third phase are not done by the tenth year, is the
entire CUP lost or just the right to build the third
phase.
James DeStefano explained the extension is for the entire
property which was split into three phases requiring con-
ditions by the third, seventh, and tenth year. He stated
his understandment of the CUP is that they would lose the
right to build the third phase.
C/Grothe stated his preference to allow the CUP to ex-
pire, making the applicant file a new CUP, so as to pro-
vide the Commission with control over building condi-
tions.
VC/Harmony asked the cost of reapplying as opposed to an
extension. 1i
Staff explained the cost would be $1600.00 minimum for
filing fees.
VC/Harmony claimed it would be more convenient for the
applicant to allow them an extension subjected to the
Commissions review process.
Robert Searcy stated the applicant is proposing to alter
the initially approved CUP and site plan.
James DeStefano reported the applicant is making signi-
ficant enough changes staff cannot take care of
administratively.
Chair/Schey noted the Commission will have the ability to
review the entire CUP and its changes when staff returns
with a recommendation. If the Commission does not feel
the CUP is in conformance with the current standards,
November 26,1990
Page 11
that portion can be denied forcing a new application. He
noted if it did conform, there is nothing lost and the
applicant saves a significant amount of time and effort.
VC/Harmony asked staff the time extension needed by the
applicant.
Bill Curley responded, at this point, the Commission
would be maintaining status quo, allowing no additional
construction, pending the appearance before the Commis-
sion which is without prejudice to them or us.
Chair/Schey declared the Public Hearing open. Upon no
response, the Public Hearing was declared closed.
Staff requested till December 10, 1990, to sort out the
application and come back to the Commission with a re-
quest of the amount of time needed for an extension.
VC/Harmony suggested giving a 90 day extension to allow
the applicant sufficient time to respond.
Chair/Schey was concerned with the possibility of the
applicant beginning construction based on the letter
approving phase three, giving them the right to proceed
whether or not it is in conformance with the current
standards. He noted the requirements were for commencing
construction, not finishing it. He asked if any plans
for a permit were submitted.
Staff responded no plans were submitted.
Chair/Schey realized a plan check could not be completed
within 60 to 90 days and was reassured to allow an ex-
tension.
N
Motion was made by VC/Harmony, seconded by C/Lin and
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to give a 90 day continuance to
February 25, 1991.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Chair/Schey made reference to Ordinance 25 adopted by the
City Council, and the memorandum by staff dated October
11, 1990 which enclosed Ordinance 25B, adopted by the
City Council on October 22, 1990. He was concerned with:
1. The aspect of the new ordinance which mandates that
each Commissioners post is a ficdum of a particular
Council Member. If that Councilman is changed, the
Commissioner is deemed having resigned and a new
Commissioner is appointed.
This would make the Planning Commission a purely
political animal. He questioned the objectivity of
this idea and thought the Commission should be
independent of the politics of the City.
November 26,1990
Page 12
2. Setting the dates, these offices are initiated and
reupped, flies in the face of the reappointment of
a particular Commissioner by a particular Council-
man new in the office. This will create fouled up
office periods.
3. It dictates when the Commission elects it Chairman.
Chair/Schey was selected as Commission Chairman
February of 1990, with the intent of a one year
period. The Ordinance states the Chairman will be
chosen in the month of June or July.
Staff informed the Commission that each Commission has
been set up this way with respect to the appointment pro-
cess, the Chairmanship, or the terms of office. The ap-
pointment of a Commissioner is recommended by a Council-
man, and the removal of a Commissioner requires a 4/5
vote of the Council.
C/Grothe believed the terms should be fixed so as to
prevent quick turn abouts of the Commission.
Chair/Schey noted the elected board is a policy making
body and is technically non partisan, yet political in
its own way. The other boards, albeit is somewhat poli-
tical because of their appointment by the political ani-
mals, are there to do more of a technical job rather than
a political job. Structuring the board as it is now,
each Councilman will have a political ficdum with a fin-
ger in each board. In his opinion, he felt it is not a
particularly good method of operation.
VC/Harmony suggested one of the reasons the Ordinance was
created was because of a Commissioner who moved, yet re-
fused to resign his position on the Commission, creating
a dilemma. The Ordinance, in his opinion, may have some
technical flaws, but he perceived it appropriate for a
new Councilman to want to exercise some of his political
backing.
Chair/Schey retold of the letter he, received from
Councilman Kim basically reinstating his appointment as
Chairman of the Commission. He questioned if his term is
based on the date he was initially appointed or reupped
based on Councilman Kims date of reappointment. He
pointed out this is an example of the confusion created.
Chair/Schey stated he is somewhat bothered by serving as
Chairman for another six (6) months without allowing
another Commissioner a chance to become Chair.
C/Lin inquired as to her position once Council Horcher
resigns.
James DeStefano explained the City Council has 30 days
from the time of the resignation to either appoint a new
member or call for.an election. There is a 90 day clock
November 26,1990 Page 13
for the position of the Planning Commission, in which
there must be a resignation or a reappointment of the
-Commissioner from the Council.
Chair/Schey _requested staff to find out the date his
Chairmanship initiated and when it will terminate.
VC/Harmony asked the mailing address on the agenda be
altered to read Diamond Bar, as opposed to Walnut, and
not allow the Post Office to dictate what is written on
our documents.
VC/Harmony requested staff to coordinate the holidays
with the Planning Commission Meetings in order to have
one (1) year projected dates.
VC/Harmony noted the memorandum of the Hillside Ordinance
adopted by the City Council, deleted the provisions as
relating to density. He perceived the density formula
used as confusing. He suggested the Commission develop
and propose policy in regards to upcoming projects and
make them operating guidelines.
Chair/Schey concurred and stated he was somewhat perturb-
ed to see in essence, current projects exempted from the
Interim Ordinance.
Staff stated current projects were not exempted but rat-
her they allowed projects with certain difficulties to be
reviewed at an exception standpoint.
VC/Harmony would like to have a discussion relating to
grates and driveways in regards to the Hillside Ordinance
to come up with standard guidelines.
Staff reported the CIP Meeting of December 13, 1990 was
postponed to December 29, 1990. The time of the commen-
cement of the discussion is uncertain.
ADJOURNMENT: Motion was made by C/MacBride, seconded by VC/Harmony and
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to adjourn the meeting at 9:56 p.m.

MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
DECEMBER 10, 1990
Chairman Schey called the meeting to order at 7:07 p.m.
in the Walnut Valley School District Board Meeting Room
880 South Lemon Street, Diamond Bar, California.
The audience was led in the Pledge of Allegiance by
Vice Chairman Harmony.
Commissioner Grothe, Vice Chairman Harmony, Chairman
Schey. Commissioner Lin and Commissioner MacBride were
absent.
Also present were Planning Director James DeStefano,
Assoc. Planner Robert Searcy, City Attorney Bill Curley,
City Engineer Sid Mousavi, Contract Secretary Liz Myers.
VC/Harmony requested the Minutes of November 26, 1990 be
amended on page 13, eighth paragraph, to change "grates"
to "grades".
Motion was made by VC/Harmony, seconded by C/Grothe and
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to approve the Consent Calendar and
the Minutes of November 26, 1990 as amended.
Request for
Staff reported the request is for an extension of an
Extension of
existing Tentative Parcel Map for property commonly
Tentative Map
known as Country Hills Town Center, located on Diamond
#18722
Bar Boulevard, nearing Brea Canyon Road. The map was ap-
proved by the County on December 23, 1987 and should
have expired December 23, 1989. A letter was submitted,
dated December 5, 1989, requesting an extension, but was
never acted upon. City Planning and Engineering staff
members have had discussions with the owners of the de-
-velopment project. Staff requested, and received from
the applicant, an outline of the chronology of events
regarding the tentative map. The approval of the exten-
sion request will extend the life of the map from Decem-
ber 23, 1989 to December 23, 1990. The applicant has
stated their ability to submit the final map, for City
review, prior to December 23, 1990. The final map will
be scheduled for review at a future City Council meet-
ing. It is staff's opinion that the extension request
has merit and should be granted. The development pro-
ject is physically complete and to the knowledge of the
Planning Staff, all conditions of the approved map have
been satisfied. Staff recommended the Planning Commis-
sion approve an extension of time for Tentative Parcel
Map No. 18722, extending the life of the map through De-
cember 23, 1990.
December 10, 1990 Page 2
Chair/Schey asked if this is the first extension of the
Tentative Map and inquired as to the reason the map has
not been recorded.
VC/Harmony inquired if the codes, relative to the devel-
opment of the shopping center, were all under County
standards.
James DeStefano, Planning Director, responded the map
was processed prior to incorporation. The development
of the Center was constructed, prior to incorporation.
He explained the County standards, in which the project
was approved, are essentially the same standards the
City embraces today. He suggested asking the applicant
to explain why the map was not previously recorded.
Chair/Schey, with the consensus of the Commission, perm-
itted the applicant to speak before the Commission.
Mike Joyce, Legal Counsel fbr the developer, replied the
final map was submitted to the County for a plan check
in June 9, 1988. There was a bad hand off from the
County to the City in the incorporation process. An
additional refiling had been made in 1989, but further
problems were encountered. He stated, in addition to
the retroactive extension through December 23, 1990,
they're requesting an additional three (3) month exten-
sion to get them through any problems that may arise.
The situation is unusual in which the map is being pre-
sented after the completion of the shopping center. He
explained the urgency of completing the map is their
need to finance a portion of the center.
Chair/Schey inquired if the applicants intent is to re-
cord the map sometime in the next two or three months.
Mike Joyce stated it will be submitted before December
23, 1990, after approval of the plan check.
James DeStefano stated staff is not opposed to extending
the life of the map until March 23, 1991, as long as it
is the intent of the applicant to submit the map immedi-
ately for final processing.
Chair/Schey asked if the map has been plan checked by
the City Engineer.
Mike Joyce stated the final map was not checked by the
!t_ City Engineer. It was submitted to the County in 1988
but nothing came of it.
VC/Harmony inquired who the current owner is.
Cary Treff, representative of the Wolff Company, stated
the present owner is Lansing Pacific Fund.
December 10, 1990 Page 3
VC/Harmony questioned the applicants plan to correct the
illegal monument signs and the signs on the back of
buildings.
Cary Treff responded the only monument sign he is aware
of was approved by the County. The signs in back of the
building will be taken care of if they are not in con-
formance with the final results of the sign ordinance.
VC/Harmony asserted there are two (2) monument signs,
one small monument sign behind the Wherehouse, and an-
other restaurant pad sign, as well as a few small signs
behind the building.
Cary Treff agreed to remove the monument signs immedi-
ately.
VC/Harmony requested some type of assurance that the
monument signs and the small signs behind the building
will be removed.
Cary Treff preferred not to take down the signs behind
the back of the buildings until the sign ordinance has
been resolved. He believed the small signs are pres-
ently in conformance to the sign ordinance. He was un-
ure as to the kind of assurance requested.
Chair/Schey inquired, assuming the sign ordinance will
have provisions for a sign program, if the requirement
for a sign program would be applicable to the Center, or
would the Center signage become a non -conforming and un-
touchable with the new ordinance.
James DeStefano responded that it is too early in the
process to know what the sign ordinance will be com-
prised of and, therefore, it is difficult to evaluate
the outcome of each sign at the shopping center.
Bill Curley, City Attorney, explained developing sign
regulations, in which pre-existing signs don't meet the
standards, would require an abatement process to exped-
ite their removal. The abatement process is not a pro-
blem with signs that have no pre-existing rights.
VC/Harmony stated the City has issued letters in the
past requesting compliance on the issue. He maintained
the necessity of obtaining assurance the applicant will
be in compliance with the minimum of the County stand-
ards, He would like verbal assurance, as well as lock-
ing it in with a bond or cash assurity, if the agreement
is not complied with, the City has authorization to re-
move the signs.
December 10, 1990 Page 4
James DeStefano explained the issue of signage and code
enforcement responsibilities are different than the is-
sue of the tentative map extension of time before the
Commission. The Commission does not have the legal abil-
ity to apply new conditions to the Tentative Map.
VC/Harmony inquired why the Commission does not have
latitude to condition and requested a verbal explanation
of the conditions of the tentative.
Bill Curley explained the City inherited the map with
all the conditions. The map is now at the stage of be-
ing looked at as basically a ministerial act to see if
the conditions of the tentative are met. He stated the
conditions of the tentative pertain to the parcelization
of the site.
VC/Harmony asserted his inability to vote for approval
to expedite an extension knowing there are obvious vio-
lations. He would like to see some sort of good will
effort on the part of the developer.
Cary Treff verbally assured the Commission the monument
signs will be removed immediately.
Chair/Schey suggested a motion to extend the Tentative
Tract, with direction to staff to pursue the code en-
forcement letters submitted earlier and entertain a
statement from the applicant for the record.
C/Grothe felt assured the applicant will follow the ve-
rbal agreement, especially since the applicant will need
to return to the Commission for future approval of pro-
posals.
James DeStefano stated the Commissions direction is ei-
ther to approve or deny the map. With respect to the
code enforcement of signage, he recommended the Commis-
sion give direction to staff to work with the applicant
on the removal of all free standing signs. Wall signs
should be left alone until the final adoption of the
sign ordinance, to avoid removing signs that may be per-
mitted in a couple of months. He recommended approval
of the extension of the map.
VC/Harmony inquired when an existing condition become
acceptable by not enforcing it's removal.
Bill Curley explained the failure to enforce our own
regulations cannot be raised as a defense in any legal
action the City may take.
Motion was made by C/Grothe, seconded by Chair/Schey and
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to approve the extension of the Ten-
tative Tract No. 18722, retroactive through December 23,
1989 and extending through March 23,1991.

native
sites at this location,
and in the general vicin-
ity, be reviewed. Staff has
received the information
needed
in order to provide the
Commission with an appro-
priate
recommendation.
Robert Searcy, Associate Planner, reported pursuant to
the Commissions request for a site review of final al-
ternative locations for the monopole, he met with the
applicant and the property owner representative at the
site. Two (2) potential locations on the property were
identified and analyzed:
1. The only portion of the property along the north-
ern boundary that appears to provide a possible
alternative lies between the one (1) and the two
(2) floor structures. The placement of the 60
foot monopole at this location would expose the
monopole to both east and west bound traffic on
the 57 freeway. The monopole would be located
within 100 feet of the freeway and would offer an
unobstructed visual impact to vehicular travelers
to a much greater extent than the currently pro-
posed location. Additionally, the trash dumpsters
and two (2) parking stalls occupy the space and
would have to be relocated elsewhere on the site.
The relocation of the trash enclosure would create
a major difficulty because of the configuration of
the site. No other alternative would provide ade-
quate access and maneuverability for the public,
and the refuge disposal vehicle. Also, there is
no area identified that could be transformed into
the two (2) deleted parking stalls.
2. At the western end of the parcel, the parcel nar-
rows to a blunted point. The property adjacent to
this property line is under County and Cal Trans
jurisdiction. To locate the monopole here, would
offer the most unobstructed and continuous view to
freeway traffic. This portion of the site yields
the closest approximate grade to the freeway and
provides almost no visual obstructions. This lo-
cation would also decrease the desired performance
of the monopole and repeater station because of
the inability to locate the repeater station in
the nearest building. The interior storage unit
requires in excess of a seven (7) foot ceiling for
adequate connections and ventilation. The build-
ing adjacent to this location cannot provide this
ceiling height. To run the coaxial to the nearest
available storage unit would require a series of
three (3) inch in diameter cables to extend over
300 feet. Beyond increasing exposure to problems
which could interrupt service, each foot of cable
represents diminished service capabilities.
December 10, 1990 Page 6
Staff recommended the most appropriate location of
the monopole would be the original planned loca-
tion. The applicant stated it would be an approp-
riate condition to put larger fruit trees on the
outside of the retaining wall along the street on
Prospectors Road to hide the appearance of the
monopole. Staff recommended the Planning Commis-
sion approve the said application with conditions.
C/Grothe was not fully convinced the mini -storage site
is the only site geographically suited. He stated since
pole signs along the freeway will be restricted, he
can't see allowing a 60 foot monopole.
VC/Harmony conceded to the possibility of a better geo-
graphic location existing, but as a governmental agency
dealing with a private enterprise, our authority extends
to deciding if the requested location is acceptable or
unacceptable, and not deciding which location would be
most appropriate.
C/Grothe maintained business should not be allowed to
install something private individuals would be prohibit-
ed from.
Chair/Schey declared the Public Hearing open.
Jerome Buckmelter, representative of L.A. Cellular Tele-
phone Co., stated the location chosen is the most appro-
priate. They would be willing to plant 36" to 42" box
trees to aid in obstructing visibility.
Chair/Schey, with no one requesting to speak either in
favor of or opposed to the proposal, declared the Public
Hearing closed.
Chair/Schey contended the business is a public utility
that serves the public and is regulated by the CPUC. He
maintained the location of the monopole is inconsequen-
tial.
Motion was made by VC/Harmony, seconded by Chair/Schey
and CARRIED to approve the Resolution for adoption and
the CUP subject to the seven (7) conditions listed by
staff in the packet, as well as the condition that four
(4) 36" box trees be installed adjacent to the monopole
subject to approval of a landscaping plan by the Direc-
tor of Planning, and to include the condition that no
microwave dishes, or antennae whips will be installed.

DA 90-2 Staff reported the development agreement is being formu-
Development lated between the City and the Developer for the proper -
Agreement ty known as the Gateway Corporate Center. A Draft Devel-
opment Agreement has been prepared and is being circu-
lated for review by the Zelman Development Company, the
City's Traffic Engineer and the City Attorney. Once
their comments have been received, a final document will
be prepared for the presentation to the Planning Commis-
sion. Since the Final document has not yet been prepar-
ed, it is suggested the matter be continued to the Plan-
ning Commission Meeting of January 14, 1991.
Chair/Schey declared the Public Hearing open.
Ben Reiling, 1611 Hanover, City of Industry, represent-
ing the Zelman Company, stated his willingness to answer
any questions.
Chair/Schey closed the Public Hearing.
VC/Harmony stated his support of the Gateway Center and
hope for its' success.
Motion made by VC/Harmony, seconded by C/Grothe and CAR-
RIED UNANIMOUSLY to continue the matter to the next reg-
ular meeting of January 14, 1991.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: VC/Harmony referred to the memo he submitted to the Com-
mission. He suggested the formation of a speakers bu-
reau composed of volunteers from staff and Commission
members. He stated the volunteers must be available to
go out and talk to community groups and bring the demo-
cratic processes to Civic organizations. The opportun-
ity of carrying out informal discussions on a one to one
basis with civic organizations is important to the in-
formation gathering process. With these informal dis-
,,cussions, comes the opportunity of inviting the public
to attend, And get involved with, the formal hearings
and deliberations of the Planning Commission.
Chair/Schey inquired if VC/Harmony had any particular
requests from any agencies or groups.
VC/Harmony replied there have been no requests. He sug-
gested sending out a letter to the Civic Organizations
and making a press release to the public stating its'
availability.
C/Grothe asked for a further explanation on subjects to
discuss.
December 10, 1990 Page 8
VC/Harmony explained the purpose of the informal discus-
sions is not so much to state our opinions on matters,
but to help clarify any complexities that may exist
within the subject matter. As Public officials, there
is a responsibility to play an active role in addressing
questions from the public.
Chair/Schey noted in most cases these type of appearanc-
es are going to be more with Rotary Club groups or Cham-
ber of Commerce groups asking for details on specific
time frames of issues.
C/Grothe asserted in most cases, staff would answer
questions on a lot of issues. He suggested that an up-
coming calendar would be appropriate to help the Commis-
sioners answer questions pertaining to issues submitted
to the City.
Chair/Schey remarked on the merits of a Speakers Bureau
but is uncertain how the concept could be implemented.
Bill Curley explained the agenda items are announcements
without specificity. He stated VC/Harmony's proposal
would have to be reset to the following meeting to come
back for a formal action.
Chair/Schey requested staff to investigate if there is a
formalized process being used by neighboring communities
that might create that availability. The matter will be
placed on the next agenda of January 14, 1991.
Chair/Schey commented on several maintenance concerns,
i.e. irrigation, turf, and the facilities of the parks
are abysmal. He noted Charles Janiel's expertise in the
area and wondered if he has authority over the mainte-
nance and if he's being properly staffed.
C/Grothe concurred the maintenance of the parks are
slipping.
ADJOURNMENT: Motion was made by C/Grothe, seconded by VC/Harmony and
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to adjourn the meeting at 8:20 p.m.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
We have audited the balance sheets of the Proposition A Local
Return Fund of the City of Diamond Bar as of June 30, 1990 and 1989
and the accompanying statements of revenues, expenditures, and
changes in fund balance for the years then ended. These statements
are the responsibility of the City's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these statements based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards required that we plan and
perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
statement is free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
As more fully described in Note 2, the statements present only the
Proposition A Local Return Fund and are not intended to present
fairly the financial position and results of operations of the
City's total funds in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
In our opinion, the statements referred to in the opening paragraph
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Proposition A Local Return Fund of the City of Diamond Bar as
of June 30, 1990 and 1989, and the results of its operations and
changes in the fund balances for the years then ended, in
conformity with the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission
(LACTC) Proposition A Local Return Program Guidelines.
The accompanying supplemental information, listed in the foregoing
table of contents, is not necessary for a fair presentation of the
statements referred to in the opening paragraph, but is presented
as additional analytical data. The supplemental information has
been subjected to the tests and other auditing procedures applied
in the audits of the statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the
City and the LACTC and should not be used for any other purpose.
This restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this
report, which, upon acceptance by the City Council and the LACTC,
is a matter of public record.

Local Return allocations, which are legally restricted for specific
purposes.
Basis of Accounting

they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures
of the current period and expenditures are generally recognized
when the related fund liabilities are incurred.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON PROJECT COMPLIANCE
We have audited the balance sheets and statements of revenue,
expenditures, and changes in Fund balance of Proposition A Local
Return Funds of the City of Diamond Bar for the years ended June
30, 1990 and 1989, and have issued our report thereon dated
November 30, 1990. Our audits were made in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards and the rules and regulations
of the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission (LACTC) and the
Proposition A Local Return Guidelines (revised, June 1988) and,
accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such
other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances.
The management of the City of Diamond Bar is responsible for the
City's compliance with the laws and regulations of the LACTC and
the Proposition A Local Return Guidelines. The following projects
were reviewed and tested:
Elderly and Disabled Para- Proposition A/ Regional Federal

SUBJECT: TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT GRAND AVENUE AND ROLLING KNOLL DRIVE
This is to request the City Council's authorization to proceed with
design and installation of a traffic signal system at the intersection
of Grand Avenue and Rolling Knoll Drive.
BACKGROUND
Installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Grand Avenue and
Rolling Knoll Drive was identified as one of the Grand Avenue/Chino
Hills Project's mitigation measures along Grand Avenue. However, this
project was put on hold until such time that cut -through issues in the
Quail Summit/Rolling Knoll area be resolved.
DISCUSSION
The Traffic & Transportation Commission, at their regular meeting of
December 12, 1990, discussed the Quail Summit/Rolling Knoll Road cut -

through problems and determined that despite the mitigation measure
identified on the attached report, the cut -through problem had not been
completely resolved. The Commission continued their discussion to
January 10, 1991 meeting.
At this meeting, the Commissioners determined that the installation of
a traffic signal at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Rolling Knoll
is a separate issue and recommended the design and installation of it.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council concur with the Traffic & Trans-
portation Commission's recommendation and direct staff to proceed with
design and installation of a traffic signal system for this intersec-
tion.
2. Prohibited parking during the weekday peak hours along the east side of Diamond
Bar Blvd. between Grand Ave. and Quail Summit Rd. (Parking is prohibited, along the
remainder of Diamond Bar Blvd. southerly of Quail Summit to Brea Canyon Rd.).
This would allow for a third lane for right turn movement on to Grand Ave. (a major
contributor to cut through traffic.)
3. Reduced the bike lane width on Diamond Bar Blvd, to six feet between Quail Summit
Road and 500 feet southerly of Mountain Laurel Way creating a third lane to be
designated for right turn only into Mountain Laurel Way and into Quail Summit Rd.
4. Sign the above mentioned right turn only lanes as "Local Access Only" to discourage
cut through traffic.
5. Install "NO OUTLET" signs on Mountain Laurel Way and on Quail Summit Rd.
immediately east of Diamond Bar Blvd. While the message of these signs was not
true, they were intended to discourage and assist in stemming a problem.
6. Installation of Stop Signs on Quail Summit Road at Winterwood Lane adjacent to
Quail Summit School.
7. Increase traffic enforcement.
8. Installation of 25 mph signs within the subject area.
After these First Stage elements were put into place, traffic counting observations similar to the
before conditions were again made and indicated that there was a significant reduction in the
cut -through traffic.
Subsequent to the First Stage element and before traffic signal improvements were completed
at Diamond Bar blvd. and Grand Ave. additional traffic control measures were put into effect:
Stop signs installed (3 way) on Forrest Canyon Rd., Highbluff Dr. and Coyote Springs

2. Stop signs installed (4 way)i on Silver Rain Dr. at Meadow Glen Dr.
3. Prohibit left turns from Grand Ave. to Roiling Knoll Dr. on week days from 6:00 a.m.
to 7:30 a.m.
On September 1, 1990 major improvements to the intersection of Diamond Bar Blvd. and Grand
Ave. were completed - median modification on Diamond Bar Blvd. to provide for two left -turn
lanes, two through lanes and one right -turn lane for each leg of Diamond Bar Blvd. and left -turn
phasing on Grand Ave.
-2-
Subsequent to these improvements of the intersection of Diamond Bar Blvd. at Grand Ave. and
the opening of Grand Ave. into San Bernardino County numerous traffic counts have been taken
in and around the Quail Summit/Rolling Knoll Area that indicate that the cut -through traffic has
been reduced to a minimum. This minimum probably is a situation that will prevail unless
restrictions were to be installed to make it physically impossible.
In the review of the traffic counts for the subject area we are initially disturbed by the fact that the
total ADTs for the area exceeded by 2000 vehicles what we would expect to be generated by the
nearly 600 homes. And our first thought was that perhaps we did have a significant cut -through
problem but further analysis of the existing volumes indicated just the opposite. It was also
interesting to note that the week -end exiting traffic volumes were higher than the week day
volumes which we concluded was due to the easier ability to exit onto Grand Ave. on the week-
end days.
Applying the higher rate of 12.7 week day trip end generation factor for the 592 homes, plus that
generated by the school (500), we have an expectant generator of 8,018 vehicles per day vs the
actual count of 8,082.
Based upon the actual counts and analysis of generators, staff is comfortable with the fact that
the traffic improvements on Diamond Bar Blvd. coupled with those proposed for Grand Ave. have
corrected the major cut -through traffic along Quail Summit Rd. and Rolling Knoll Rd.
Having reached the comfort level on the cut -through traffic issue it is now time to consider a
traffic signal on Grand Ave. at Rolling Knoll Rd. As previously reported, a traffic signal at this
location would have little adverse effect upon the performance of the traffic signal on Grand Ave.
at Diamond Bar Blvd. but would allow controlled ingress and egress to the subject area. Also
as previously reported a signal at this location has been identified as one of the mitigation
measures along Grand Ave. and was put on hold pending a resolve to the cut -through traffic
Issue.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Traffic & Transportation Commission adopt a finding that the cut -
through issue has been resolved due to traffic improvements both within the Quail Summit/Rolling
Knoll area and along the adjacent major highways, and further recommend to the City Council
to proceed with the installation of a traffic signal on Grand Ave. at Rolling Knoll Road.

Terrence L. Belanger, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: CITY MEMORABILIA
In July 1989, the City of Diamond Bar held a contest to encourage citizens,
organizations, and students to participate in the development of a City Logo. A
design that incorporated the unique physical, cultural and environmental
characteristics of Diamond Bar was selected to be the official city logo.
The City of Diamond Bar has no policy for making the various types of memorabilia
available to the general public. Currently, City memorabilia is used in the
following fashion. Since incorporation, the City has utilized the logo in the
design of lapel pins, city tile plaques, coffee cups, and other memorabilia.
These items, however, are presently not available to the public.
City Lapel Pins:
The pins have been distributed to City Council and the City Manager to hand-out
at their discretion at conferences, seminars, meetings, etc. City Staff also have
lapel pins to wear when representing Diamond Bar at various functions.

City Tiles:
City tile plaques are presented by the City Council to recognize persons,
businesses, and organizations for exceptional efforts and contributions made to
the City and the community.
Coffee Cups:
Coffee cups, with the identifying City logo, were purchased when the City
determined, as a part of a recycling and environmental policy, to eliminate the
use of styrofoam cups. The coffee cups have been made available only to City
Council, Commissioners and staff.
The City has received numerous requests from local citizens to purchase coffee
cups, with the City logo. In response to this request, staff contacted various
Cities to determine whether they had policies pertaining to the selling of
merchandise, with a City identifying logo, to the public. The research results
indicated that although some Cities sold memorabilia to the general public, they
did not have adopted policies.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the offering of City memorabilia,
specifically coffee cups, for sale to the public. The purchase price would allow
the City to recover the cost of the memorabilia, as well as, and the cost of staff
time and other associated costs that would be required to fulfill requests for
purchase.

BACKGROUND
On January 16, 1991, United States led multinational forces, under the
authority of United Nations Security Council Resolution 673, initiated
hostilities against the government and military of Iraq for its unprovoked
invasion of the country of Kuwait.
In response to the outbreak of conflict between Allied and Iraqi forces,
local governments nationwide have received numerous requests from citizens
asking for the development and/or implementation of support programs to deal
with the impact of events in the Persian Gulf. Locally, staff has contacted
representatives from other Valley cities to learn what those communities are
doing in support of our military personnel. The following is a synopsis of
those comments:

It should be noted that this list is not inclusive and only represents
officially sanctioned activities that have been authorized by the governing
body of the respective jurisdiction. Activities and/or programs sponsored by
local community and civic organizations are not included on this list.
DISCUSSION:
While the City of Diamond Bar has taken no formal action regarding the crisis
in the Gulf, staff has received several inquiries from residents asking about
the possibility of taking action. In response to these inquiries, staff has
developed several viable alternatives to express the City's support for the
men and women of our armed forces. These alternatives include but are not
limited to:
o Adopt a resolution in support of our military personnel or a
specific military unit (See attached sample);
o Proclaim a certain day or week as "Armed Forces Day/Week" and
encourage residents to show their support by displaying the
flag or a yellow ribbon (See attached sample);
o Lower the flag at City Hall and other civic facilities to
half-mast to honor the military personnel killed in action;
o Fly the POW/MIA flag at City Hall to remember those members of
the military that have been captured or listed as missing in
action.
o Display flags, typically used on official holidays, on lamp
posts throughout the City;
o Issue a press release encouraging residents with relatives
serving in the Gulf to contact City Hall. This information
could be used for a letter writing campaign or a resolution
commending their individual service to their country;
o Sponsor a community pep rally or parade to support the troops
in the Gulf;
o Take no official action at this time but defer the issue to
local community groups/organizations (i.e., Rotary, Kiwanis,
etc.).
The purpose of supporting a particular activity is not to condone the use of
force but is intended to express the community's unequivocal support of our
military personnel and their selfless devotion to duty and unflinching
courage in serving their country.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council review the available alternatives and
direct staff as necessary.
INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: _Robert L. Van Nort, city Manager
FROM: Nancy B. Whitehouse, Secretary��a
SUBJECT: PUBLIC REQUEST/COMPLAINT
DATE: January 25, 1991
I had received a call from a Diamond Bar resident, Bill Ornelas
(714) 860-4470, this date. He wanted to know what the City was
"doing," e.g. resolution, to support the troops in the mid -East.
I related that the City has not taken any formal position to date
but that the Mayor did make a statement at the last meeting
expressing the City's concern and support.
Mr. Ornelas commented that "without a resolution, we're far
behind." He further indicated that he would like to be place on
the agenda to approach the City Council on the matter. I related
that he could address the City Council under PUBLIC COMMENTS at
the next Council meeting, February 5. He said that would be
fine; hence, I believe he will be there.

M E M O R A N D U M
TO: Robert Van Nort, City Manger
FROM: Henrie Watkins, Emergency Service Coord.
DATE: January 6, 1991
SUBJECT: Emergency Preparedness Status
OVERVIEW
Local government has the primary responsibility of preparing for
and responding to disaster(s). Pursuant to the State Emergency
Plan, local government is expected to do the following in regards
to emergency preparedness:
* Identify all hazards that pose a major threat.
* Develop and maintain hazard maps.
* Develop and maintain emergency plans.
* Develop a standard method for requesting the
Governor to proclaim a State of Emergency.
* Maintain the ability to request support from the
State during disaster.
* Develop and maintain the ability to provide the
State with estimates of the severity of damage
following a disaster.
While it is true that both public safety agencies (Sheriff and
Fire) maintain disaster plans that would be used during times of
major emergencies, these plans only address a portion of the City's
total need. Therefore, to save lives, protect property, and
satisfy the expectations of the State, staff has undertaken the
development of an Emergency Service System (ESS).
The ESS has a goal of mitigating the impact of, preparing for,
responding to, and recovering from, a major emergency. What
follows is a brief description and status report of each of the
elements that compose the ESS.
EMERGENCY PREP STATUS
PAGE TWO
MITIGATION
Public Information April/May, 1991 & On-going
To lessen the loss of life and property during disaster, staff is
making an effort to inform all those who live and work within the
City on what to do during a major emergency. Staff has been
planning a multi -media campaign which will include the use of
public service announcements on cable television, print
advertisements in local newspapers, and brochures disseminated via
various sources throughout the City.
To date, staff has developed and distributed an earthquake
preparedness brochure. This handout informs citizens of actions to
take before, during, and after, a large earthquake. Plans are
underway to develop a booklet that informs citizens how to plan for
and to act during all types of emergencies (i.e. fires, hazardous
material exposure, etc.).
Safety Regulations April, 1991
To ensure that the City maintains a safe environment for its
citizens, various ordinances and requirements are being developed.
The ordinances will set forth the City's emergency management
organization structure and define City action during emergencies,
ratify emergency networks, and ensure a certain level of public
safety service. The codes will be brought to the City Council later
in the year for approval.
PREPAREDNESS
Self -Help Program February, 1991 & On-going
Enclosed with this document is a proposal for a Self Help Program.
The purpose of the program will be to train and organize citizen
groups to be self-sufficient following a disaster; thereby
increasing the chances of survival for citizens. The program will
require a commitment from both the City and community
organizations, for it to be fully implementmented. A draft of the
Self -Help Program concept is attached to this report.
Multi -Hazard Functional Plan (MHFP) July, 1991
The MHFP is a document that defines City response to multiple
threats that have the potential of affecting large numbers of
people. The plan is designed to guide all of the City's actions in
regard to emergency preparedness. The MHFP is designed to function
in much the same way a general plan does. The MHFP must be
accredited by the State of California.
EMERGENCY PREP STATUS
PAGE THREE
MHFP (con't
The majority of the MHFP is complete. Staff is currently in the
process of making apropriate additions, deletions and other
revisions to the plan. The MHFP will be completed by March, 1991.
City Staff Training February, 1991
During times of disaster each City official and staff person, by
law, automatically becomes a disaster worker. Consequently, they
are obligated to report to work to assist in crisis management
activities. To ensure that the staff can effectively manage
emergency operations, each person must be prepared in a number of
functional areas. First, in the area of basic preparedness, each
staff person will be provided with an information packet on how to
prepare themselves and their families, for an emergency. Second,
all City staff will be trained in the different functions of the
Emergency Operations Center and in basic concepts of emergency
management. This level of training is scheduled to occur in
February, 1991. Third, selected staff members will be sent to
emergency management training centers (CSTI or FEMA), to enhance
their skills in emergency preparedness planning and management.
Also, a disaster simulation exercise is scheduled for April, 1991.
RESPONSE
Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) Completed
The EOP is the basis for the City's ability to manage during a
disaster. The EOP sets forth the operational functions of all City
staff, describes the organizational framework to be utilized and
identifies methods of communication with relevant agencies and
organizations (public, private and community). The EOP establishes
the City's priorities during a disaster. Also, the EOP contains a
reference guide that identifies all potentially needed resources in
the community, both public and private. Staff has completed the
preparation of the EOP. The plan is scheduled to be distributed in
late January, 1991.
Emergency Operations Center (EOC) February/March, 1991
An EOC is a centralized facility from which emergency operations
are managed, during a disaster. The EOC is to be outfitted and
stocked with all the equipment, materials and supplies needed to
manage the crises. Included would be a wide variety of
communication linkages to other agencies and organizations.
Potential EOC sites have been identified. Equipment and supplies
have been purchased or will be purchased. When the EOC site is
selected, it will be outfitted and suppied.
EMERGENCY PREP STATUS

Communications
Febraury/March, 1991
The City has been fortunate to attract hard working and
knowledgable community volunteers. Through their dedicated efforts
and assistance, the City now has two repeater sites and
state-of-the-art short wave (HAM) radio equipment. Communications
capabilities will be enhanced with the addition of cellular
telephones, along with centrex telephone lines, to EOC's
communications linkages. Staff is in the process of purchasing a
900 radio system. The 900 radio system will serve the dual purpose
of providing everyday communications to the Parks Department, as
well as, providing an important communications capability, during
an emergency.
Emergency Response Teams (ERT) March, 1991 & On-going
ERTs are proposed to be established to supply the City with much
needed personnel, during a disaster. Each ERT would be trained to
provide the City with both emergency response and emergency
management capabilities. ERTs would also provide training support
to the Self -Help Program. A draft of an ERT program is currently
being prepared. The ERT program plan will be given to Council,
when it is completed.
RECOVERY
Recovery Plan October, 1991
During the latter part of this calendar year, staff will develop a
plan that will guide the City's actions in regards to recovery. The
State has requirements that govern the reimbursement process that
is available to cities that suffer damages as a result of a
disaster. Furthermore, the State and Federal governments have
disaster relief programs available to cities and private citizens.
The Recovery Plan will be designed to assist the City in working
through the State and Federal processes and procedures.
The emergency preparedness effort for the City of Diamond Bar is
being developed in an expeditious and aggressive manner. The
development of emergency preparedness plans and programs will
continue to require the cooperative efforts of public and private
agencies, as well as, from community organizations and community
members. Of special importance is the establishment of an Emergency
Preparedness Committee to provide support and advise to the City
Council regarding the development of community-based emergency
preparedness programs. Total preparedness is the City's goal.

January 28, 1991
Diamond Bar City Council
c/o Robert Van Nort
21660 E. Copley Drive, Suite 100
Diamond Bar, CA 91765
Dear Council,
As you know, the Diamond Bar Ranch Festival is a non-profit group
that sponsors an annual event. The purpose of the group is to
promote a "community feeling" in Diamond Bar, to give other non-
profit groups an opportunity to raise monies, give local
businesses a chance to display and sell their products and
services and, finally, to distribute profits to local non-profit
groups. Planning for the Festival Event is a year long process
and is directed by a 15 member, all volunteer, board.
We have talked with Mr. Van Nort as the City Manager and we are
in agreement that the Festival and the City need to be two
completely separate entities. We also agree that the long term
continuation of the festival is only possible with 100% coopera-
tion between the two entities.
We would, of course, accept any and all help from the city. We
would propose, however, that you approve the cooperative effort
in concept. Direct city staff to then work with representatives
from the Festival to work out the details. The agreement could
be reviewed on an annual basis and changes could be proposed by
either party at that time.
We look forward to working with the City of Diamond Bar. If you
have any questions, please feel free to contact me at my office -
714-598-5588.
Sincerely,
Z,tw-

DATED: January 3, 1991
RE: Transportation Leasing, et al. v. State
of California;
December 28, 1990 Memorandum from
Robert L. Van Nort, City Manager
Pursuant to your request, I have conducted a
preliminary analysis of the City of Diamond Bar's potential
exposure to liability arising from legal theories similar to
those alleged in the above -captioned case. It appears that the
federal statute known as CERCLA (Superfund) presently is drafted
with exceptionally broad definitions. CERCLA provides that
clean-up liability is to be accorded to any party who has
participated in or furthered the identified contamination. In
the above -referenced litigation, both the federal government and
the sixty-four corporations which were directly named in the
Superfund litigation are alleging that each city which has
directly or indirectly contributed its residents' trash to the
subject landfill is proportionately liable for the clean-up
costs. The federal government and the corporations are alleging
that the CERCLA definitions are broad enough to include a city
which has, as its only nexus, a purely revenue, non -regulatory
business license. Further, one city had virtually no business
license, franchise or other grant or entitlement process
regarding the haulers servicing the community; yet that city is a
defendant in the action.
The defendant cities are attempting to have the court
and/or the plaintiffs concede that a mere non -regulatory, revenue
only business license or similar nexus, is an insufficient nexus
to cause liability to accrue to the jurisdiction. At this point
in time, this argument is meeting with little or no success. As
the law is presently being interpreted, any form of municipal
involvement, even silent consent, is a sufficient nexus to cause
exposure to liability to accrue to the city. In a discussion
with the Alhambra city attorney, he indicated that it appears
unavoidable that a city who has issued a franchise will be liable
as an "arranger". Unless and until the outcome of the
litigation, or a change in legislation occurs, it appears that a
community may be implicated as a defendant in any such lawsuit.
Memorandum to: Andrew V. Arczynski
January 3, 1991
Page Two
I have not performed exhaustive research into the scope
and limitations of the CERCLA legislation. If you believe that
such research will be of benefit, I shall undertake such at your
direction.
In regard to the City of Diamond Bar's participation in
this "American Communities for Clean-up Equity" organization,
such a decision could be prudent if there is any chance that a
landfill utilized by the City of Diamond Bar, or the trash
haulers servicing it, is likely to be subjected to Superfund
clean-up activities. Certainly a change in legislation which
would immunize the City from such potentially crippling clean-up
costs would be of benefit. In such a case, a $3,000 membership
which would be intended to assist in causing the law to change
would be a very minimal cost. However, if the City would not be
subjected to Superfund litigation, then the investment would be a
"neighborly" action to assist those communities which are
currently or potentially subject to -such an onerous obligation.
In the above -referenced action, the twenty-nine cities are
potentially exposed to a $720 million clean-up cost; their
information further indicates that they have spent collectively
$1.5 million in legal defense costs.
Please advise me if you wish any additional research or
analysis to be performed in regard to this matter.

JOIN AMERICAN COMMUNITIES FOR CLEANUP EQUITY!
This past fall, 29 cities founded American Communities for Cleanup Equity (ACCE)
to address the growing national problem of local government liability under Superfund. We
invite you to join us in a national effort to fight for Superfund reform.
The stakes for local governments under Superfund are extremely high, involving
billions of dollars in potential liability and litigation costs. If the law isn't clarified to protect
local governments and their citizens, we will be forced to waste precious resources defending
ourselves against overreaching lawsuits brought by private polluters.
The time for action is now. Local governments cannot wait any longer to join together
and take this issue to the United States Congress.
Superfund was meant to make polluters of hazardous waste pay for the results of their
actions. American Communities for Cleanup Equity strongly supports Superfund's goal of
cleaning up hazardous waste sites, but opposes the application of the law's strict, joint and
several liability scheme to local governments which merely handled municipal solid waste.
In the last few years, private polluters sued as "potentially responsible parties" at
Superfund sites have started to search for "deep pockets" to help shoulder enormous cleanup
costs. These corporations have launched a major campaign to redistribute the lion's share of
the costs at municipal landfills to local governments and, ultimately, the taxpayer.
If this corporate campaign is successful, local governments and their taxpayers will pay
the same amount to clean up a ton of old magazines and food scraps as industry pays to clean
up a ton of hazardous toxins. At the Operating Industries site in California, 64 industrial
corporations have sued 29 cities alleging that the cities should pay up to 90 percent of the
cleanup costs, which could exceed $800 million. In Connecticut, 22 cities and towns have
been sued for approximately 50 percent of cleanup costs at two landfills where preliminary
studies estimate costs of $70 million. At another site, the city of Woodstock, Illinois, which
has an annual budget of under $13 million, could be liable for over $12 million for site
investigation and study costs alone. Even if your local government is not faced with
Superfund liability today, the odds are that you will have to face it tomorrow.
American Communities for Cleanup Equity was founded to educate federal officials
regarding the nature and extent of the municipal garbage problem, and to undertake an
aggressive legislative effort to secure Congressional and regulatory relief. As outlined in our
Position Paper, we have developed a just, coherent, and winnable agenda. To aid our efforts,
-2 -
we have retained an outstanding consulting team to keep us educated, organized and focused,
and to provide critical access to key players in Washington, D.C.
But we need your support. Given the size and nature of our corporate opposition, we
need the strength that comes from numbers and grass roots support. Congress is much more
likely to redress our concerns if we speak from all over the country with a unified voice;
ACCE's members will be urged to become actively and personally engaged in a coordinated
lobbying effort.
You will benefit by joining us. Besides making ACCE more likely to succeed, your
participation will make you part of an invaluable network to share information about
Superfund issues. We publish a monthly newsletter explaining legislative and regulatory
issues related to Superfund of concern to local governments. Special legislative alerts are
issued whenever appropriate. For those local governments who are already embroiled in
Superfund litigation, ACCE serves as a clearinghouse to share information. We will continue
to arrange seminars, especially in conjunction with other nationally planned meetings or
conventions. When the time is right to pressure Capitol Hill, we will guide local governments
through the Washington lobbying scene.
Along with this solicitation, we have also made available a Position Paper, a more
extensive Mission Statement, and a Dues Structure. We hope you will join us as soon as
possible and send us a completed Preliminary Application form. If you would like any further
information about American Communities for Cleanup Equity or have any questions, please
call Kevin Murphy, City Manager of Alhambra, California, at (818) 570-5014 or Rena
Steinzor, ACCE attorney, at (202) 879-4000.
Thank you for your support. We look forward to working with you.

Dear Mr�ian Nor
Shortly before the first of the calendar year you received a letter and packet of
information from Kevin Murphy, Alhambra City Manager, that described the purpose and goals
of the "American Communities for Cleanup Equity". The City of Alhambra along with 14 other
cities involved in the Operating Industries landfill suit asked for your city's support in seeking
an amendment to the Federal Superfund law, for the purpose of limiting the exposure of cities
to these types of lawsuits. There is no doubt in my mind that most cities will eventually face
the kind of significant challenge now posed to the 29 cities involved in the Operating Industries
suit. The cost of defending against these kinds of lawsuits is staggering, not to mention the
potential cleanup costs if liability under Federal law is determined by the courts. Those of us
cities that are not involved in the Operating Industries lawsuit are fortunate that cities like
Alhambra are taking a leadership role in seeking amendments to the Federal law to remove the
potential risk to us as well as themselves.
If you haven't yet reviewed the information that Kevin sent you I encourage you to do
so, and to strongiy recommend to ,your City Council that your city actively support the efforts
of the American Communities for Cleanup Equity. The Monrovia City Council has unanimously
approved Monrovia becoming a member of ACCE, believing that a very small investment now
could save our city significant costs later on. If you need more information on the Cleanup
Equity effort I'm sure that Kevin or the managers of the cities involved in the Operating
Industries suit would be happy to assist you.
Sincerely,

Vehicle theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in
California. It is rampant in urhan and Tet rcr o'_ita GreGS
as we-- as ir_ rural communities. According to Crime and
,elinquency 1988 Statistics, a vehicle is stolen every 22
seconds in Ca:ifcr nia. Between 1983 and 1988, motor vehicle
theft increased 48.8% with j-veni'_e arrests fcr this crime
leaping 227%.
In response to these alarming statistics, Governor '
Deukme,jian proclaimed the week cf A,:_"zt 13-17, 1990 as
?'e^_c' e .heft 'reven tion Week. :tT..
,�merous police ag....cies
thrcug hoot Southern California, and the nation, are adopting
programs to help reduce the number of auto thefts and
expedite the recovery of vehicles w1hic h are stolen.

Operation C.A.T. - Combat Auto -heft - originated in New

25,000 vehicles enrolled in their grogram and only 32 of
these vehicles had been stolen. Their figures indicate that
vel`ales with the C.A.T. decals have 401% les_ chance of
being stolen. - -- -- — - - --
C.A.T. PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Operation C.A.T. is a voluntary program, designed to help
prevent aato t :eft. 7"e registered Owner of a vehicle signs .
a waiver allowing any law enforcement officer to stop their _
vehicle between the hours of 1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. This is
when most vehicle thefts occur. The waiver doe_ not

PARTICIPATION
The registered owner takes the vehicle, registration and
current driver's license to either Walnut or San Dimas
Station. Upon verification, the registered owner then reads
and signs the contract. A serialized decal is then affixed to
the vehicle. The ew ner agrees to withdraw from "he program if

Introduction of the C.A.T. Program in the local area, versus
the L.A.W. (Lakewood,/Lynwood Auto Watch) will. establish
uniformity with c--*.er local, state and national law
enforcement agencies. It is important that officers in other
jurisdictions recognize the symbol to aid in identifying
potential thefts. Th f to Theft Investigators
The Cal._=ornia Auto g
Association and our own auto theft detectives strongly
recommend this uniform program approach.
Extensive review was cc nducted of several programs in
existence throughout Southern. California. This resulted in
forms being deve'— --� Lam._ ;'al.n :t Reg=cr '_ -at_oi area which
could be adopted for county wide use. This standardization:

in an effort to anticipate areas of concern the issues of
I1ability and citizen complaints were considered. Liability
applies to the individual citizen not to mention the
participating agency. Some pe3ple have shown reluctance in
signing up for the program and some have in fact declined to
join because of the liability they assume upon signing the
co :tract. Tf:ere is r:o as to the extent of

OPERATION C.A.T.
(Combat Auto Theft)
C. -AT., patterned after a project begun in 1986 by
thieNew York Police Department, gives cooperat-
ingLos Angeles County law enforcement officers
a means to Identify recently stolen vehicles during
haus when most vehicles are stolen. Facts Indl-
ca. to that professional car thieves have entered the
field in increasing numbers; however, most cars
arestill taken by amateurs who can be stopped
fai iry easily. You can greatly Increase your protec-
tio ragainst this type of crime by taking the follow-
Ingprecautions.
To i thief, there's nothing like a car. It's self-
pro)elled and fully equipped for a fast getaway.
Th, ecar and most especially its components are
items in steady demand.
Theowner or authorized driver of a car should not
lea,e the vehicle unattended without locking the
Igniion and removing the key. A significant num-
be rof automobiles are stolen because drivers fail
to remove Ignition keys.
Keys should be carefully guarded. If the keys have
pun;h-out numbers, these should be removed and
kepi at home for reference in case of loss.
HCW TO GIVE A THIEF A HARD TIME
The National Automobile Theft Bureau (NATB)
reccmmends the following precautions:

expensive items In full view Invite theft.
• if you park in a commercial lot or garage, leave
only the Ignition key with the attendant.
• If you have a garage, Use h. Lock both the
vehicle and the garage.
AUTO THEFT SECURITY DEVICES

be Installed to deter or prevent theft of the car of
any of its parts br contents. Anti -theft devices,
expensive or not, are only going to deter the inex-
perienced thief.

each tire and is key -operated. (Hub caps: special
locking devices are available for curtain hub caps
such as the spoked hub, etc.)
Guard Plate: Install a guard plate over the trunk

Ignition Cut -Off (kill switch): A key -operated or
hidden manual switch that interrupts the power
supply from the battery t4 the ignition.
Fuel Cut -Off: Integrated into the fuel line, this
device prevents the flow of gasoline once the fuel
In the gas line is used. Only a special key deac-
tivates the cut-off.
Door Locks: Visible inside door lock buttons
should be smooth and tapered.
Hood Lock: A secondary hood lock should be
installed to prevent access to the power source,
battery or siren for an alarm system. A key -
operated bolt, which is accessible from Inside the

outside, should be Installed.
Steering Wheel Lock: Placed on steering wheel,
stopping wheel from being turned.
CAR ALARMS
There are several alarm systems that will serve to
deter or discourage the car thlef and alert others

theft devices are primarily a deterrent to the
amateur thief. An experienced thief will not be
deterred by any anti -theft device.

can be used in conjunction with switches for over-
all alarm protection.
Voltage Sensing Device: This device Is attached
-to the wiring of the vehicle and triggers the alarm
when a drain of power Is detected, such as from
an interior, hood or trunk light.
Motion -Sensing Device: Sends out sound waves
above human hearing and is activated by any
disturbance in the sound wave pattern. Note:
This alarm can and has been activated by vibra-
tions of passing vehicles.)
Mercury or Tift Switch: Placed in the car, this
device detects any motion of the car. (Note: Can-
not be used when parked on a hill, slope or other
than flat ground.)

SUBJECT: Proposed Activities for the 1991-1992 (17t1h year) Community Development
Block Grant Program
The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administers
Federal Community Development Programs. Through federal assistance, state and
local governments receive grants for various community development, economic
development, and housing rehabilitation programs. The Community Development
Block Grant Entitlement Program (CDBG) is the largest program providing formula
grants to cities within metropolitan areas that exceed a population of fifty
thousand. CDBG funds are also provided to urban counties, such as Los Angeles
County, for administration to participating cities. Grant amounts are deter-
mined by a federal formula based upon the community's population, demographics,
growth, persons in poverty, over -crowded housing, and the extent and amount of
housing built prior to 1940.
In order to receive our allocation, or entitlement, we must meet the require-
ments of the local urban county administrator, and/or HUD. We must also define
our local needs and develop programs to address them.

Council Agenda Item
February 5, 1991
Page Two
The process to receive our CDBG funds began last July when the City Council ap-
proved a Cooperation Agreement between the City and the Community Development
Commission of Los Angeles County. The Community Development Commission (CDC) is
the local urban county administrator for CDBG funds. The CDC currently works
with forty-seven cities which participate in the CDBG Program. In order to re-
ceive CDBG funds, a variety of steps must be taken which include a discussion of
programs and budgets for use of the funds and an opportunity for public input
into the process. A statement of proposed objectives and use of funds is for-
warded to the CDC and HUD. Additionally, a review of the prior year's use of
funds and attainment of objectives is discussed. since the City did not receive
any funds last year, there will be no discussion of prior activities within this
year's process.
ANALYSIS:
The City of Diamond Bar expects to receive approximately $463,714 in CDBG funds
as a participant in the 1991-1992 (17th year) program. The use of funds must
meet the primary objective of the Housing Community Development Act of 1974, as
amended, which is to develop viable urban communities which meet at least one of
three broad national objectives. These objectives are:
1. To benefit low and moderate income persons,
2. To aid in the prevention and elimination of slums and blighted areas, and
3. To meet urgent community development needs.
The funds may only be used within low and moderate income census tracts and/or
to benefit low and moderate income persons. The City proposes to utilize its
CDBG allocation to acquire land for the construction of a senior center. Ten
percent of our allocation will be utilized to plan and administer this plan ob-
jective. The senior center would be located on approximately a one (1) acre
site. The senior center building would contain approximately ten thousand
square feet in size and would provide and facilitate an extensive menu of ser-
vices and programs for senior citizens. The cost for a fully furnished and
equipped senior center is estimated to be $1,500,000. The senior center project
would be funded through a multi-year financing program utilizing a mix of CDBG
funding and other available funding sources. A project description for the pro-
posed senior center is attached as Exhibit "A". The proposed administrative
budget for fiscal year 1991-92 is attached as Exhibit "B".
RECOMMENDATION•
It is recommended that the City Council, upon completion of the staff presenta-
tion, open the public hearing for the input of citizens wishing to speak, close
the public hearing and take action to approve the proposed project and budget
recommendation as provided by staff and direct that these materials be forwarded
to the Community Development Commission.

SUBJECT: CITY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDING
BACKGROUND:
The City of Diamond Bar has provided funding for programs, projects, and
activities sponsored by various community organizations. In general,
the City of Diamond Bar has provided such funding, on the basis of benefit to
the entire community. Commencing July 1, 1991, the City will begin to receive
CDBG funding for community projects and programs. Therefore, the City Council
desires to establish requirements for determining future funding eligibility
for CDBG.
DISCUSSION•
Staff conducted research on how cities, similar to Diamond Bar, determine the
eligibility criteria for CDBG funding. The research results show that some
Cities have established requirements for providing CDBG funding to community
organizations.
RECOMMENDATION•
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached requirements to be
used in evaluating future funding eligibility for CDBG.
