conflict of interest.
MARCH 3, 1992 PAGE 6
CDD/DeStefano reported that the proposed project is for
construction of 120 dwelling units on 160 acres at the
backside of The Country. Public Hearings were conducted
on January 21st and 28th, during which several issues
were raised by the public and Council regarding the EIR,
geotechnical matters, grading, zoning, land use, general
plan issues, etc. Testimony at both hearings required a
variety of analyses and responses to comments by staff as
well as additional technical data to be provided to the
City. Staff and the development consultants reviewed a
portion of the data required but not all necessary data
had been received. He recommended a one-month continu-
ance in order to provide staff sufficient opportunity to
collect all materials and thoroughly analyze it for prep-
aration of early staff reports to the public and Council.
He further recommended that Council open the Public
Hearing, receive additional testimony and continue the
matter to April 7, 1992.
MPT/Papen opened the Continued Public Hearing.
Joe Ingraham, 21647 Highbluff, stated that he was con-
cerned about Tract 47850 and opposed it for the following
reasons: 1) Judge Mills had previously stated that the
main part of 47850 was to remain park -like with no
construction to take place in this area, 2) no one has
seen the model showing proposed development of this
tract, 3) he expressed interest in M/Kim's opinion of the
project in that his firm worked on it.
David Araujo, 3206 Falcon Ridge Rd., expressed agreement
with the concerns raised by Mr. Ingraham and inquired
into when the developers became aware that the property
was within an environmentally -sensitive area.
Bruce Farnsworth, 536 W. Whitcomb, Glendora; Conservation
Chair, Pomona Valley Audubon Society, stated that his
group had studied the draft EIR and Tentative Tract Maps
47850, 47851 and 48487 and was concerned about the
omission of species in compliance with the Environmental
Quality Act, as well as the lack of a tree preservation
ordinance adopted by the City. He requested that the
project comply with SB 3880, a critical portion of CEQA
requiring full and adequate assessment of mitigation
monitoring plans.
MPT/Papen responded by indicating that she and C/Miller
had requested that issues regarding cougars, migratory
birds and nesting problems be addressed. In addition,
they expressed concern regarding grading during nesting
season and the mitigation monitoring program.
CA/Arczynski also stated that an oak tree preservation
ordinance is currently in place in the City that would
tie into non -discretionary projects. Since this project
MARCH 3, 1992 PAGE 7
requires a full EIR, the EIR will deal with oak trees as
well as black walnuts and other trees on the site that
either need to be preserved or relocated.
In response to C/Werner's question regarding inadequacy
of the alternatives in the EIR, Mr. Farnsworth stated
that there would not be enough open space for the natural
habitat.
MPT/Papen directed staff to transmit to Mr. Farnsworth
copies of the consultant's responses to the letter of
January 21st as these documents represent a more up-to-
date point of view.
Max Maxwell, 3211 Bent Twig Ln., expressed concern
regarding details of the fire access gate at the end
Hawkwood Rd. He read a letter from the residents of
Diamond Ridge outlining specific demands for construction
and maintenance of the gate and stating that the gate
would be used for fire access only and permanently closed
to through traffic during construction and following
completion of the projects. He requested that the City
include all requirements specified in the letter in the
EIR or before issuance of building permits.
Don Schad, 1824 Shaded Wood Rd., distributed copies of
hydrology reports and stated that he was concerned with
run-off from the tracts. He also expressed concern that
there would not be enough run-off to areas needing water,
e.g., the Scouting facility.
Franklin Fong, 3253 Falcon Ridge Rd., stated that he was
a geotechnical engineer and referred to the report
prepared by Layton & Associates. He indicated that there
were many deficiencies in the report and questioned
whether there is sufficient information to justify the
buttress fill or to say that it is adequate.
MPT/Papen stated that both she and C/Miller were
concerned about these matters and that these matters were
to be addressed on April 7.
C/Miller also stated that the issue of bentonite is also
being questioned as well as stabilization of the fill
slopes. The developers will be expected to justify these
issues before the project is approved.
With no further testimony offered, MPT/Papen continued
the Public Hearing to April 7, 1992, at 7:00 p.m.
9. ANNOUNCEMENTS: C/Miller announced that the Diamond
Bar High School Color Guard took first in a band competition
at the Fiesta Bowl and that staff is developing a presentation
to recognize them. He expressed approval of all Commission
appointments and wished them luck in their endeavors.
MARCH 3, 1992 PAGE 8
C/Werner also congratulated the new commissioners, thanked all
outgoing commissioners and thanked the audience for sharing
their views.
10. ADJOURNMENT: With no further business to conduct,
M/Kim adjourned the meeting to March 10, 1992, at 5:00 p.m.

3. DISCUSSION OF ORDINANCE NO. 92 -XX: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR REPEALING PART 16 OF
CHAPTER 22.56 OF DIVISION 1 OF TITLE 22 OF THE LOS ANGELES
COUNTY CODE AS HERETOFORE ADOPTED AND ADOPTING A NEW PART 15
OF CHAPTER 22.56 OF DIVISION 1 OF TITLE 22 PERTAINING TO TREE
PRESERVATION - CDD/DeStefano reported that the Planning
Commission adopted a resolution recommending adoption of a
Tree Preservation Ordinance at a Public Hearing held January
13, 1992. The purposes of the Los Angeles County Oak Tree
Ordinance adopted by the City upon incorporation and the
proposed Tree Preservation Ordinance are similar. However,
three major differences between the two ordinances include:
type of trees to be protected, replacement ratio and size
criteria for trees to be preserved.
C/Miller opposed the proposed Ordinance for the following
reasons: it prohibits anyone from topping trees on public or
private property; requirements to prune a tree are too
stringent; residents must comply with recommendations made in
an arborist's report if they want to remove a tree; if a tree
dies, a resident is liable for the replacement cost of the
tree; if a resident prunes for three days, he can be assessed
for three different violations; the Ordinance invades privacy;
and it is in opposition to Fire Department regulations which
MARCH 10, 1992
PAGE 2
require all trees to be trimmed 4 feet off ground for weed
abatement. If the Ordinance is passed, then it should be
enforced. However, the financial impact to the City to
enforce such an ordinance would be immense. He further
opposed imposition of more layers of government on the
community for a non-existent problem.
C/Werner concurred that the proposed Ordinance goes further
than what he would have liked. He suggested that the 2:1
replacement policy of the County Ordinance be updated and he
explained that replacing a 100+ year old oak tree with two 15
gallon oak trees is not equivalent.
C/Miller referred to a SEATAC meeting held December 3, 1990 in
which Mr. Hewitt, an arborist appointed to SEATAC, recommended
that nothing larger than 15 gallon trees be used because
larger trees would not acclimate as well as smaller trees.
C/Miller further stated that he was not opposed to a 4:1
replacement to guarantee that more survive. He indicated
that, between staff, the Planning Commission and the City
Council, any replacement ratio desired can be required when a
project is reviewed and that an Ordinance is unnecessary.
MPT/Papen noted that specifications of the tree replacement
ratio are based on whether a parcel is less than an acre or
more, which is aimed at heavily dense acreage not yet
developed. She suggested including language indicating this
in the Ordinance instead of a uniform policy for each lot.
C/Forbing stated that this Ordinance would charge the
residents of D.B. quite a lot of money and that the Ordinance
currently in place is sufficient for the City's needs. In
addition, he felt that a 2:1 replacement ratio appeared
adequate. He recommended directing staff to table this
Ordinance and retain the current Ordinance.
M/Kim expressed opposition to the proposed Ordinance because
he felt it would invade privacy and usurp individual rights,
it would be expensive to D.B. residents and it would require
additional staff for enforcement.
Don Gravdahl agreed that the Ordinance should be discarded in
that it would be too expensive for any resident with trees on
their property.
Don Schad concurred that proposed restrictions on public
property are too severe but felt that a 4:1 replacement
requirement should be considered, giving flexibility in the
size of the tree for each individual situation. He explained
that there are many heritage trees in D.B. that are over 400
years old that should be preserved.
Jack Nelson, Red Calkins, Marshall Wise and Ross Bilotta
agreed that the proposed Ordinance should not be adopted
MARCH 10, 1992 PAGE 3
because they felt it is unnecessary, it takes away individual
freedoms and takes away the right of property owners to do as
he chooses with his property.
MPT/Papen expressed concern that the meeting was not being
conducted as a Council study session but rather as a Public
Hearing.
The Council agreed to allow the last audience member to speak.
Roberta Ray stated that she does not want any more of her
freedom taken away and that the financial impact to the City
to enforce such an ordinance should be considered.
Al Rumpilla noted that if the Chairman opens the study session
to public comments, then it becomes a public hearing.
C/Werner suggested that Mr. Schad develop a list of what he
feels are Heritage trees for Council review and direction to
staff to keep an eye on those particular trees. He stated
that he felt that changing an existing Ordinance that has
worked for years would not make a lot of sense and recommended
that the Council disregard the amendment.
By consensus of Council, the proposed Ordinance was tabled.

CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
MINUTES OF THE TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
FEBRUARY 13, 1992
CALL TO ORDER: Chairman Chavers called the meeting to order at
6:30 p.m. at the South Coast Air Quality Management
District Hearing Room, 21865 East Copley Drive,
Diamond Bar, California.
ROLL CALL: Commissioner Ortiz, Commissioner Beke, Commissioner
Fritz, Vice Chairman Gravdahl, and Chairman
Chavers.
Also present were City Engineer Sid Mousavi,
Administrative Analyst Tseday Aberra, Associate
Engineer David Liu, Sergeant Rawlings, and Contract
Secretary Liz Myers.
MINUTES: C/Beke requested that the Minutes of January 9,
1992 be amended on page 3, line 7, to read,
Jan. 9, 1992 "...centerline stripe through..."; and on page 4,
third paragraph, to indicate a three way stop.
Chair/Chavers requested the minutes to be amended
on page 5, first paragraph, to indicate that the
City Manager also requested the item to be
postponed; and the ninth paragraph to properly
indicate AB1600.
Motion was made by C/Beke, seconded by VC/Gravdahl
and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to approve the Minutes of
January 9, 1992, as amended.
COMMISSION C/Ortiz indicated that Clyde Evans, the Director of
COMMENTS: Transportation for the Walnut Valley Unified School
District (WVUSD), suggested that the Commission and
Transportation for WVUSD work together. C/Ortiz
requested that an agenda be mailed to Mr. Evans to
advise him of the meetings. Also, Mr. Evans noted
that there are "No Left Turn" signs, between
certain hours on school days, posted on the Diamond
Bar High School property, on the new addition area.
VC/Gravdahl stated that the duration of the green
on the light, on Golden Springs/Grand, is short;
and the light at Cold Springs turns full cycle
twice before allowing any movement of traffic.
OLD BUSINESS: AE/Liu addressed the Commission regarding the
request made by concerned citizens to modify the
Request to modify egress/ingress of the Century 21 and adjacent
egress/ingress of Medical Office Building. Staff recommended adding
Century 21 & adj.a third lane between Montefino and Diamond Bar
Med. Office Bldg. Blvd., in the eastbound direction, and to
reconstruct the median islands, in order to reduce
delay, and increase intersection capacity.
February 13, 1992 Pag• 2
Upon the request of Chair/Chavers, CE/Mousavi
explained that the reason this item was placed on
the agenda out of the normal scheduling order was
because members of the community attended a City
Council meeting and insisted that the item be
addressed by this Commission immediately.
Toni Lewis, residing at 1504 High Bluff, employed
at 1081 S. Grand, made the following comments:
they do not feel the matter has been addressed
expeditiously, because they had originally
expressed their concerns at the Commission meeting
in June of 1991; there have been many accidents
witnessed, however, two just occurred in the last
two hours; you can not safely ingress or egress
from the plaza driveway; and Dr. Cocker, owner of
the Medical Building, and Dr. Joe Anthony have
asked her to relay their concerns to the
Commission.
The following citizens stated their concerns over
the traffic hazards of ingress and egress from the
Century 21: Lucy Pense, residing at 23419
Sandridge, employed at Century 21; John Melendez,
employed at Century 21 at 1081 Grand Ave.; and
Randy Newe. The citizens made the following
suggestions: put a "Keep Clear Zone" in front of
the driveway; install a street light; adding a
third lane will create a blind spot; and adding a
third lane will create further problems.
Mr. Melendez explained that the problem is with
people attempting to use the median to cross
traffic to turn left, those turning left into the
library and the Center, as well as those attempting
to turn right out of the driveway.
Lucy Pense stated that it is also unsafe to make a
right hand turn into the building from the right
lane because the curb does not allow it.
CE/Mousavi, in response to Chair/Chavers, explained
that staff has not yet done a queuing analysis to
determine if creating a third lane will keep the
queue behind the stop bar at the signal when the
green has ended. It was thought that if the
capacity of the street is increased by creating a
third lane, starting at the intersection at
Montefino, it would reduce the queuing and allow
for an easier ingress and egress. Because this
matter came to staff as a last minute item, staff
has not had the opportunity to illustrate how this
proposal would be feasible. If it appears to be a
solution to the problem, staff can create a
February 13, 1992 Page 3
schematic drawing for the next meeting, and do a
queuing analysis.
C/Beke explained that a traffic signal is not
usually installed at a driveway. He noted that if
the two left hand turn lanes, at Grand Ave. and
Diamond Bar Blvd., are preserved by moving the
median over, then the U-turns would have to be
eliminated. Furthermore, if the third lane is put
in, then traffic is now up against the curb making
it difficult for people going in and out of the
driveway. He suggested that eliminating the left
turn, coming out of the drive, be considered.
VC/Gravdahl, noting that running a third lane would
make it impossible to get into the building because
of the way the driveways are constructed, suggested
widening the drives at the Center and the utility
station.
C/Beke suggested blocking out 10 to 12 feet of curb
lane, from Montefino on, and creating a
channelization area in and out of that drive.
CE/Mousavi confirmed that converting driveways from
typical drive approaches to alley approaches,
facilitates an ingress and egress from the site.
However, if the acceleration, deceleration lane is
created, some construction will have to be done.
Chair/Chavers stated that since there is a median
serving both the apartments and the businesses on
the south side, the median could remain a full
movement access, limited to a left in only, but
exiting would be a right out. The most restrictive
possibility is to extend the median through there,
and let everyone deal with right in, right out. He
requested staff to generate some sketches, and talk
to the concerned citizens, by the next meeting.
C/Fritz requested that staff generate cost
estimates for the driveway modification.
Following discussion, the Commission concurred to
create a Task Force, consisting of C/Beke, C/Ortiz,
staff, and two of the concerned citizens from
Century 21, to meet Friday, February 21st at 11:00
a.m., at the site, to look at viable solutions.
Sgt. Rawlings, upon the request of Chair/Chavers,
explained to the citizens that anyone stopping on a
"Keep Clear Zone" is in violation, including those
egressing from the driveway.
February 13, 1992

C/Beke requested AE/Liu to bring information on all
the lane widths when the Task Force meets.
Marsha Blair, employed at Century 21, stated her
concern about the accidents occurring in the
indicated area.
Motion was made by C/Fritz, seconded by C/Ortiz and
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to continue the matter to the
next meeting of February 27, 1992, for discussion,
and a status report from the Task Force.
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Beke, Fritz, Ortiz,
VC/Gravdahl, and
Chair/Chavers.
NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None.
ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None.
white Paper AA/Aberra addressed the Commission regarding the
list of issues to be addressed by the City Council
and community during a Public Hearing in early
Spring, 1992. It was indicated by the Commission
that the list would be finalized at the February
13, 1992 meeting.
Chair/Chavers explained that he developed the list
from the documentation of the items communicated to
him from each member of the Commission. He
requested that each Commissioner review the items,
add input, and mail the responses to him before the
next meeting.
Upon discussion, the Commission decided to divide
the items, among the Commission, for further review
and input: VC/Gravdahl will review items 13, 14, &
15; C/Ortiz will review items 10, 11, & 12; C/Fritz
will review items 6, 7, &, 8; C/Beke will review
items 2, 3, & 9; and Chair/Chavers will review
items 1, 4, & 5. The responses are to be given to
staff by Tuesday, February 18th. Chair/Chavers
will rewrite the "White Paper" and submit a copy to
staff and each Commissioner before the next
meeting.
CE/Mousavi suggested that, since March 3rd is the
date to introduce the new Commissioners, the
Commission may want to develop a final copy of the
"White Paper" by the end of this month.
Motion was made by Chair/Chavers, seconded by
C/Ortiz and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to continue the
matter to the next meeting.
Traffic Study CE/Mousavi reported that the Commission, at the
Summitridge/ January 9th meeting, requested staff to investigate
February 13, 1992 Page 5
Brookwood the kind of circulation study best suited for a
residential neighborhood, the nature of the scope
of study, the goals and objectives, and a method of
invoking input from the citizens. Upon evaluation
of the situation, it is essential that the
strategies conducted to handle requests be defined,
discussed and finally adopted. Staff and the
Commission need to develop a formalized procedure
to handle requests in a responsive manner. The
objective for adopting such standards and
procedures is to introduce uniformity in processing
such requests, reduce unwarranted requests, and
provide an effective means to interact with the
community to find viable solutions to the area -wide
traffic intrusion problem. If the solutions
presented by the subcommittee and staff does not
solve the problem for the neighborhood, staff
suggests that the Commission advise the requesting
party to circulate a petition stating the problem,
the cause of the problem, and the proposed action
relative to solving the problem. A neighborhood
map should be attached, as well as the signatures
of the simple majority. once the type of study is
determined, as well as it's funding sources, then
staff would look at the feasibility of making
arterial system improvements to mitigate
neighborhood problems. If this procedure did not
solve the situation, neighborhood type of
improvements could be suggested, and brought before
the Commission for recommendation to the City
Council for their action. Staff recommended that
the Commission discuss this procedure and the
policy. Upon adoption, or modification of this
policy, or creation of a new policy, staff would
then deal with the Summitridge/Brookwood situation.
Bruce Flamenbaum pointed out that if residents knew
what needed to be done, they wouldn't be requesting
a traffic study. The point of requesting the
traffic study was so that the Commission, and the
citizens, could ascertain what the problem is, if
indeed there is a problem. He recommended that the
Commission institute a traffic study, be it
minimal, and establish a policy of responding to
citizens requests in a timely manner.
Chair/Chavers suggested that another Task Force be
put together, with 2 members of the Commission,
staff, and 4 to 5 concerned citizens, to discuss
the issues and concerns. In response to
VC/Gravdahl's concern if there is sufficient funds
to conduct a study, Chair/Chavers indicated that
the citizens would probably be more than willing to
provide the manpower needed to conduct a study.
February 13, 1992
Page 6
VC/Gravdahl suggested that if the Commission is
going to proceed with the recommended policy,
reference to the Summitridge/Brookwood area should
be omitted. It should be a general policy.
C/Beke indicated that requests for neighborhood
traffic control should not require a petition. It
is the Commission's job to review such requests.
Chair/Chavers suggested that the Commission receive
and file staff's recommendation. He requested Mr.
Flamenbaum to contact 4 residents in the area, and
get back to him regarding a suitable meeting date.
Sgt. Rawlings informed the Commission that the Task
Force should not rely heavily on traffic
enforcement as a solution to their concerns because
there are many complaints about over enforcement in
that area.
Motion was made by C/Ortiz, seconded by VC/Gravdahl
and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to receive and file staff's
report and continue the matter to the next meeting.
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Beke, Fritz, Ortiz,
VC/Gravdahl, and
Chair/Chavers.
NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None.
ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None.
Queuing Analysis CE/Mousavi reported that, upon further analysis of
for intersection the queuing problem at the intersection of
of Pathfinder at Pathfinder Road and Brea Canyon Road, it is
Brea Cnyn. Rd. recommended that an additional lane be added to the
westbound traffic, develop a new striping plan, and
install 3 -way stop signs.
C/Beke, concerned if there is enough width between
the ramp to develop the extra lane, requested a
schematic drawing. Chair/Chavers concurred.
CE/Mousavi, responding to Chair/Chavers, stated
that staff is aware that the only way to put an
additional westbound lane is to move the center
median island further south. If the Commission
concurs with staff recommendation, then staff will
go back and do the engineering drawing and bring it
back to the Commission in the March meeting. As
suggested by C/Beke and Chair/Chavers, staff will
do the sketches in house.
Motion was made by C/Fritz, seconded by VC/Gravdahl
and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to continue the matter to
the next meeting.

traffic control device.
CE/Mousavi, upon discovering that none of the
Commissioners received any documents from the City
Attorney, suggested that the matter be postponed to
the next meeting.

Request to
AE/Liu addressed the Commission regarding the
eliminate parkingrequest to eliminate parking along Brea Canyon Cut -
along Brea Cnyn.
Off Road at Fallowfield. Presently, there are "No
Cut -Off at
Parking Between 10:00 a.m to 2:00 p.m. Thursday
Fallowfield Dr.
Street Sweeping" signs located in the areas
indicated in the staff report. This was
implemented by the County prior to the City's
incorporation. Fridays have now been designated
for street sweeping in that part of the City.
However, since the signs indicate Thursday, street
sweeping is currently being done on Thursdays for
the Windwood/Silverfur area. In light of the
recently adjusted bi-weekly street sweeping
schedule, it would not be feasible for the City to
consider or evaluate a City-wide general policy at
this time. AE/Liu confirmed that motorists have
been using Fallowfield as a park -n -ride for the
easy Brea access, and the on-site parking at First
Mortgage Corporation. It is recommended that the
Commission accommodate the existing street sweeping
signs in the Windwood/Silverfur area, and consider
the alternatives presented in the staff report. It
is further recommended that "No Parking Signs" with
restrictions for specific hours for sweeping days
be installed in the Fallowfield area.
C/Beke, questioning the bi-weekly sweeping,
inquired how citizens are to know when every other
week is, and how it will be monitored by the
Sheriff Department. There is a problem with
enforcement if a car is ticketed for parking during
the designated hours, yet no street sweepers come.
Furthermore, if an area is designated Friday, but
the signs say Thursday, then the signs should be
changed.
Motion was made by VC/Gravdahl, seconded by C/Ortiz
to remove the signs.
C/Beke pointed out that the direction of the motion
is not an agenda item. The only agenda item is
whether to post signs on Fallowfield.
Motion was made by VC/Gravdahl to accept
alternative A from staff's recommendation. The
Motion Failed for lack of a second.
Chair/Chavers, noting that the staff report
indicates that it is not feasible, at this time,
for the City to consider or evaluate a City-wide
general policy, stated that if signs are posted on
a couple of streets, it would, in effect, establish
policy.
February 13, 1992 Page 9
Motion was made by Chair/Chavers, seconded by
C/Beke and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to table the matter,
and request staff to bring the issue back on the
agenda for discussion that will deal with the other
signs, as well as the background of the City's
policy.
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Beke, Fritz, Ortiz,
VC/Gravdahl, and
Chair/Chavers.
NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None.
ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None.
NEW BUSINESS: CE/Mousavi addressed the Commission regarding the
suggestion to establish a Traffic and
Establishing Transportation sub -committee to review requests,
Sub -committees such as traffic control devices, so that they can
to review be handled administratively, and presented to the
transportation Commission as informational items. Upon discussion
issues. with the Chairman, it was also suggested that a
sub -committee handle transit issues, as well as
regional transportation issues.
Chair/Chavers explained that the intent of the sub-
committee would be to review transportation issues,
report back to the Commission, and then advise
staff how the Commission would prefer the issues to
be handled administratively. This would simplify
and divide the workload for staff, and allow the
Commission to get through Consent Calendar items
quicker.
C/Fritz, noting that the Commission is often split
on their decisions, and/or have different concerns
regarding traffic control issues, stated that this
approach may not save any extra time. However, it
may be wise to have a representative keep the
Commission informed, on an on-going basis, on
transit and planning issues.
VC/Gravdahl stated that the sub -committee could
advise staff of which direction to go regarding
certain issues, thus avoiding repeated discussion.
C/Beke noted that assigning various transportation
issues to a sub -committee would still require
review by the Commission. However, the sub-
committee could be there to advise staff what items
of information the Commission will be particularly
interested in.
Motion was made by C/Fritz, seconded by VC/Gravdahl
and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to table the matter to the
next meeting, with discussion to be limited to five
minutes.
February 13, 1992 Page 10
ITEMS FROM AA/Aberra reported that the 1991 Holiday Shuttle
STAFF: was a successful program. She reviewed the details
of the program, as indicated in the staff report.
Holiday Shuttle Staff recommended that there be a follow up to this
program for the 1992-3 holiday season. If desired,
the Commission could establish a sub -committee to
be involved in the implementation of this program
for the 1992 season.
VC/Gravdahl corrected that the change in ridership
should indicate an approximate 76% increase. He
made the following suggestions: elongate one of
the route loops into neighborhoods that were not
serviced; changing the route slightly might give
better exposure to senior citizen neighborhoods;
and costs could be reduced by starting a half hour
earlier, and ending a half hour later.
Motion was made by C/Beke, seconded by
Chair/Chavers and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to table the
matter for further discussion to the April meeting.
Future Agenda CE/Mousavi informed the Commission that the City
Items has received three proposals to the RFP for
development of a Transit Route for the City. He
suggested that one or two of the Commissioners
volunteer to attend the interviews to select a
consultant. VC/Gravdahl volunteered.
CE/Mousavi informed the Commission that the draft
Traffic Impact/Fee Analysis is ready for review.
Chair/Chavers volunteered to be the liaison for the
Commission.
CE/Mousavi stated that the Council has scheduled a
workshop on March 10th for a study session on the
Tree Ordinance, and may have a workshop on
Commission Conduct. Staff will provide more
information at a later date.
ITEMS FROM THE Chair/Chavers submitted a letter from Golden
COMMISSION: Springs PTA, and a letter from Clair Harmony
regarding truck parking on Washington Street.
C/Fritz requested an update of the High School
street marking issue.
AE/Liu stated that staff contacted the High School
and informed them of the motion made by the
Commission. Staff requested a $500 deposit fee
from them before any work is initiated. As of now,
staff has not received anything. The estimate fee
to install the signs is $300 dollars.
Chair/Chavers informed the Commission that CalTrans
is wrapping up scoping for the 57/60 interchange.
February 13, 1992 Page 11
He requested staff to keep the Commission up to
speed. He submitted the article, and a copy of the
letter he wrote to CalTrans.
CE/Mousavi stated that letters were sent to
CalTrans by the Mayor, the Counties, and Senator
Frank Hills office. Staff will copy the material
submitted by Chair/Chavers and distribute them to
the Commission, as well as copies of the letters
sent by the other entities, and the responses.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Robert L. Van Nort, City Manager
SUBJECT: Fixed Route Deviation Public Transit System
ISSUE STATEMENT
The City desires to develop a fixed route deviation public transit
system to meet the needs of the general public of the City. To
accomplish this, it is necessary to secure the services of a
qualified transportation engineering firm to provide the planning
and design services.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council award a Professional
Services Contract to UMA Engineering, Inc. in the amount not to
exceed $34,872.00 and authorize the City Manager to execute
amendments to the contract agreement if deemed to be necessary.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The engineer's estimate for the planning and design of a fixed
route deviation transit system for the City was $45,200.00. UMA
Engineering, Inc. has proposed a not -to -exceed fee of $34,872.00
for these services. Said services have been approved by L.A.C.T.C.
and the project will be funded by the approved Proposition A Local
Return Funds.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The City of Diamond Bar is interested in developing a fixed route
deviation public transit system to meet the needs of the general
public of the City. The system would be a combination of a fixed
route and a demand responsive type service. It would employ a
number of fixed timed stops where residents can board the vehicles
on a scheduled basis, and a number of check -point stops, where
residents within a specific distance of the route can be picked up.
The system would link with the commuter express bus services
operated by the Southern California Rapid Transit District and
Foothill Transit.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
AGENDA NO.
MEETING DATE: March 17, 1992
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: Municipal Solid Waste Collection, Disposal and Recycling
Contract
ISSUE STATEMENT:
The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, also known as AB 939,
requires that the City demonstrate an ability to generate revenues and
allocate resources in planning, developing, and implementing a combination of
source reduction, recycling, and composting programs that will divert 25% of
solid wastes from landfill disposal by 1995, and 50% or the maximum amount
feasible by the year 2000.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council direct staff to enter into
negotiations with Western Waste Industries for the purpose of establishing an
exclusive franchise arrangement for the provision of solid waste collection,
disposal and recycling services within the incorporated City boundaries.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
The known fiscal implications of the Source Reduction and Recycling Element
are discussed within the Funding Component.
BACKGROUND:
In December 1991, the City Council declared its intent to establish an
exclusive franchise for the provision of municipal solid waste collection,
disposal and recycling services within the incorporated boundaries of the
City. Pursuant to that decision, the Council directed staff to evaluate the
comparative qualifications and service capabilities of two solid waste
providers: Community Disposal and Western Waste Industries. Consequently,
staff prepared and disseminated a Request for Information package to the two
companies in order to obtain more precise information on their solid waste
collection, disposal and recycling services.
In February 1992, staff, after careful consideration of the history of solid
waste collection services in the community, recommended that the scope of the
Request for Information process be broadened to include Waste Management of
San Gabriel/Pomona Valley, Inc. Subsequently, interviews were held with the
three firms to discuss their qualifications and to clarify the information
contained in their Request for Information package. As a result of these
interviews and after careful evaluation of the comparative qualifications of
the three firms, it is recommended that staff be directed to enter into
negotiations with Western Waste Industries for the purpose of establishing an
exclusive franchise contract to provide municipal solid waste collection,
disposal and recycling services. This recommendation is based upon the level
of resources and scope of services that Western Waste is capable of providing
to the City both now and into the future.
DISCUSSION:
As a result of the requirements set forth by AB 939, the City is now faced
with the difficult task of developing an integrated waste management program
capable of achieving a 25% reduction in the volume of waste disposed of in
landfills by 1995. While this alone could be perceived as an insurmountable
task under normal economic conditions, AB 939 requires cities to identify
both the public and private sector costs of the proposed integrated waste
management programs, the funding mechanisms that will be utilized to pay for
them, and what contingency plans are available to accommodate changing
economic conditions.
Specifically, Section 41230 of the Public Resources Code states that the
City's funding component shall demonstrate the City's ability to generate
sufficient revenues and allocate ample resources for planning, developing,
and implementing the various programs identified in the SRRE. If the SRRE
fails to provide this information or show adequate financial resources, the
California Integrated Waste Management Board may find the City's SRRE
deficient and withhold approve of the City's SRRE. If this deficiency is not
corrected, the Board, pursuant to Section 41813 of the Public Resources Code,
could levy administrative civil penalties against the City of up to $10,000
per day.
The consultant to the East San Gabriel Valley Integrated Waste Management
Joint Powers Authority has completed a revised funding table which shows the
public versus private costs for development and implementation of the City's
AB 939 program. It is estimated that the total private/public sector costs
to implement the various component programs of the SRRE could exceed $1.9
million dollars in the short-term planning period (1992-1995). While private
sector costs represent the largest share of the known program costs, the
public sector costs, which include both the capital costs and the staff time
involved in SRRE program development, implementation, administration, and
monitoring and evaluation, may approach $857,000 over the short-term planning
period or an average of $214,000 per year.
Currently the City utilizes the revenues generated by the Solid Waste Permit
System to pay for solid waste related expenditures. Based upon existing
trends, the City's permit system will generate approximately $85,000 in
revenues in fiscal year 1991-92. Assuming the annual SRRE planning and
implementation costs to be around $214,000, it is quite obvious that the
revenues derived from this source will be insufficient to effectively meet
the City's state mandated obligations.
The JPA consultant has indicated that the level of funding needed for SRRE
programs is ultimately linked to the type of collection system adopted by the
City. In examining the City's current collection system, vis-a-vis the solid
waste permit system, the consultant has estimated that it would require a
significant across-the-board increase in permit fees to generate enough
revenue to support the City's SRRE program. While this approach may generate
sufficient revenues to support SRRE programs, it will not resolve the
problems plaguing the existing permit system and could place a serious
financial burden on residential and commercial accounts. In light of this,
the consultant has highly recommended that the City consider an exclusive
franchise arrangement for the collection and disposal of solid waste.
Pa
CONTRACT NEGOTIATION:
The State Legislature has given local government broad authority to establish
a system for solid waste collection and disposal. Collection services may be
provided by the City, by another local entity, or by a solid waste enterprise
(Public Resources Code Section 40058). In addition, Public Resources Code
Section 40059 (a[2]) states that local government has the authority to award
collection services, with or without a competitive bid process, by means of
a partially exclusive or wholly exclusive franchise, non-exclusive franchise,
contract, license, or permit, if in the opinion of the governing body the
public health, safety, and well-being so require.
Based on a comparative evaluation of the three firms, staff concluded that
Western Waste Industries offered both a level of services more consistent to
the programming needs of the SRRE and demonstrated a higher level of
resources (e.g., facilities, personnel, etc.) to effect an exclusive
franchise contract for the provision of solid waste collection, disposal and
recycling services. While the other two firms are capable of providing solid
waste collection, disposal and recycling services, it was felt that they
lacked developed solid waste facilities or were to dependent on speculative
disposal alternatives to be considered for this contract.
In negotiating the franchise agreement with Western Waste Industries, the
City establishes the contractual framework and performance expectations of
the contractor. This may include, but is not limited to: insuring long-range
disposal capacity; establishing authority to exercise review and approval
control over rates; enforcing customer satisfaction; setting performance and
equipment standards; mandating compliance with all waste reduction and
recycling goals; requiring AB 939 indemnification; mandating special
collection services (e.g., household hazardous waste, Christmas trees, bulky
wastes, etc.); and instituting disclosure standards for reporting revenues,
expenditures, and program activities to the City.
As would be the case in most contractual relationships wherein exclusive
rights and privileges are granted, with a resultant benefit conferred, the
beneficiary of that exclusive right provides consideration, usually in the
form of a franchise fee. This fee is not solely consideration for the
exclusive rights to provide collection, disposal and recycling services, but
is also consideration for the impacts that these services have on the City's
infrastructure (e.g., streets, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, etc.), liability
exposure, and ability to meet its state mandated obligations.
The type of fee structure established by the City can vary from a flat
surcharge assessed to each customer to a percentage of the company's gross
revenues. The City Council must determine the type of fee, level and
frequency of payment that the exclusive franchisee will remit to the City.
For example, using demographic data obtained from the 1990 Census and
information compiled from other sources, a franchise arrangement in the City
has an estimated revenue potential in excess of $5,000,000 dollars per year.
Assuming the City Council adopts a 10% franchise fee, the City can expect to
receive approximately $500,000 per year. Based on this, staff would
recommend that the City Council establish a franchise fee of up to 10% of the
contractor's gross revenues for the purpose of offsetting the direct and
indirect costs of solid waste collection, disposal and recycling services.
It is known that the impacts created by AB 939 have significant financial
implications will that far exceed the City's available resources. To reduce
the effects of this legislation, the City can, as part of the franchise
3
agreement, shift the primary responsibility for SRRE program development and
implementation to the franchisee. In shifting this responsibility to the
contractor, the City may require programs such as: public education and
information; waste evaluations and technical assistance to nonresidential
generators; monitoring and evaluation of programs; and other activities aimed
at the reduction of solid waste. In doing so, the City will in effect create
the required funding mechanism that demonstrates that it has ability to
adequately fund its SRRE programs.
Summary:
The process by which the City selects a hauler to provide collection and
disposal services within its incorporated boundaries can be difficult to
effect. Nevertheless, state law mandates that the City demonstrate an
ability to generate revenues and allocate resources in planning, developing,
and implementing a combination of source reduction, recycling, and composting
programs that will divert 25% of solid wastes from landfill disposal by 1995.
Staff contends that an exclusive franchise is the best method to insure
complete compliance with state mandated diversion goals because it
establishes the City's specifications as to what type of solid waste
collection system it desires. These specifications are designed to meet the
varying needs of citizens and businesses and may include, but are not limited
to: levels of service, rates, performance and equipment standards, and
disclosure requirements. Furthermore, because the selected company is
contractually obligated, the City is assured that the company will provide
outstanding service at reasonable rates or risk possible termination of the
franchise agreement.
Staff believes that Western Waste Industries has satisfactory demonstrated
that it has the desired qualifications and resources necessary to render
solid waste collection, disposal and recycling services. Therefore, it is
recommended that the City Council direct staff to enter into negotiations
with Western Waste Industries for the purpose of establishing an exclusive
franchise contract for the provision of municipal solid waste collection,
disposal, and recycling services within the City's incorporated boundaries.

8.1 CONSIDERATION OF MID -YEAR BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS - CM/Van
Nort stated that Resolution No. 90-40 established the
1991-92 Fiscal Budget, and that, based on the fact that
the budget is a "living document," it is necessary to
monitor and evaluate its implementation during the course
of the year.
Following discussion, M/Kim requested that staff prepare
a report on the impact of the street sweeping cutback
from weekly to bi-weekly to be presented in 90 days.
Martha Bruske, 600 Great Bend Dr., was concerned about
the reduction of the Sheriff's activities, and the
stationing of a sheriff's unit at Diamond Bar Blvd. and
Goldrush. She asked what other reductions had been made
and indicated that she had called City Hall many times
but did not get a response to her concerns. She
suggested that reductions at City Hall may be in order.
CM/Van Nort stated that the Sheriff's Department will
operate with one-man cars in lieu of two-man cars,
resulting in the same number of patrol cars as currently
exists. In addition, the intersection of Diamond Bar
Blvd. and Goldrush Dr. has been a traffic problem in the
past with a large number of speeders. He stated that he
would request the Sheriff's Department to prepare a
report as to why enforcement at that intersection is so
important. He then requested that Ms. Bruske provide
specifics so that he could investigate her allegations
and respond.

8.2 ORDINANCE NO. 8 (1991): AN CRDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR ADOPTING AN INTERIM ZONING
ORDINANCE PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA
GOVERNMENT CODE 65858(a) AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT
THEREOF - DCA/Curley indicated that the purpose of the
Ordinance was to prohibit "flyer parties," defined as
those for which an admission fee is charged and which are
advertised by flyers or other posting inviting people to
attend.
Lt. Michael Muravez, Walnut Sheriff's Station, reported
that his Department endorsed the Ordinance due to their
experience that such parties are disruptive to normal
residential activities and attract persons from a wide
area, depending on how the flyers are distributed.
In response to M/Kim's question, Lt. Muravez stated that
during a flyer party approximately two weeks before, an
incident occurred involving individuals who did not want
to pay the admission fee, returned later and fatally shot
a person involved in an earlier argument.
At the request of MPT/Papen, DCA/Curley stated that
"admission charge" means a tangible benefit, either
monetary or otherwise, which is expressly or impliedly
required as a condition of admittance to a party. It
would not include donations for political, community
service, charitable or religious purposes.
C/Forbing moved, C/Miller seconded to adopt Ordinance No.
8 (1991) by title only and waive further reading. With

integration into the City's final SRRE draft; (2) declare
the City's intention to award an exclusive franchise to
one or more haulers to provide refuse collection,
disposal and recycling services for residential and
commercial premises in the City; (3) submit the legally
prescribed notice of discontinuance to all permitted
haulers currently doing business within the incorporated
City limits, notifying said haulers of the City's intent
to award an exclusive franchise for the collection and
disposal of solid waste; and (4) prepare a modified
Request for Proposal package for the provision of solid
waste collection, disposal and recycling services for
residential and commercial premises pursuant to
specifications established by the City Council. The
proposal would be completed within sixty days and brought
back for approval by the Council and then submitted to
the haulers for their RFPs.
Al Rumpilla, 23958 Golden Springs Dr., spoke in
opposition to a single franchise and dividing the City in
half and awarding 2 franchises.
Red Calkins, 240 Eagle Nest Dr., also spoke in opposition
to awarding an exclusive franchise.
Martha Bruske stated that she didn't want to hear the
Council talk about splitting the City in half. She
further stated that approximately 5 separate haulers pick
up trash on her street which creates quite a lot of noise
and indicated that she would prefer only one hauler.
With no further testimony offered, M/Kim closed the
Public Hearing.
MPT/Papen reported that in written opinions furnished by
both the City Attorney and the Fair Political Practices
Commission have indicated that she did not have a

3. COUNCIL COMMENTS: None offered.
4. PUBLIC COMMENTS! Jeff Nelson, 23051 Rio Lobos Rd.,
expressed concern that MPT/Papen had decided to run for
Assembly so soon after she was re-elected to the City
Council. In addition, he complained that a sign he had
posted on private property had been taken down by Al Flores,
the City's Code Enforcement Officer and that a few days
after he had retrieved this sign, the Sheriff's Department
and a City truck went to his house looking to impound the
sign.
ACM/Belanger stated that he would be happy to discuss Mr.
Nelson's concerns at his convenience in the hope of
resolving the problem.
C/Werner asked for clarification as to whether or not Mr.
Nelson had been instructed to remove signs from behind City
offices, identification on the sign and what the specific
direction of the City Manager was.
C/Miller stated that he had heard that the sign was on
Montefino property and that they had requested the City to
remove it.
FEBRUARY 18, 1992
PAGE 2
ACM/Belanger stated that C/Miller's comment was accurate and
that the City had been asked to remove the sign since it had
been placed there without permission. Upon investigation,
it was determined that the sign was 32 sq. ft. in size and
that a portion of it straddled the City right-of-way. City
Code states that any sign over 6 ft. within the public
right-of-way is not permitted; therefore, this particular
sign was removed and transported to City Hall.
Beverly D'Errico, 23631 Prospect Valley, announced that on
Thursday, February 23, 1992 at the AQMD, a public meeting
will be held to address the United Nations Conference on
Environment and Development scheduled for June in Brazil.
Betty Sanford, President of the United Nations Assn. in
Pasadena will be the guest speaker.
Clair Harmony, 24139 Afamado Ln. stated that M/Kim is
responsible for the conduct of the City and expressed his
feeling that a lot of "dirty tricks" were being played at
City Hall.
Bob Quartucy, 21446 Broken Arrow, President, D.B. Lively Sr.
Citizens responded to C/Forbing's question during a previous
meeting regarding contributions made by the organization for
the benefit of the community by reading a list of contribu-
tions made by individual members.
William Gross, 21637 Highbluff Rd., presented a transcript
of a legal opinion the City Attorney had given during
discussions regarding the Tonner Canyon project during the
January 21st meeting and stated that the opinion had no
legal foundation based on law, code or court case. He
further indicated that he felt the City Attorney had mislead
the Council.
CA/Arczynski replied that, on more than one occasion, he had
indicated that State Law is abundantly clear that the
project being discussed was a vesting tentative map; the
cases and law are clear as to the guidelines and General
Plan, or lack thereof, that the City must apply to projects,
and that changes in the General Plan cannot be applied to
this project. He stated that he would be happy to provide
staff with the most recent cases on this matter for trans-
mittal to Mr. Gross.
Al Rumpilla, 23958 Golden Springs Dr., stated that he had
spoken with CM/Van Nort several times in the past regarding
the sign Ordinance and the Code Enforcement Officer's
conduct. He further stated that the sign ordinance does not
address what happens to signs after impound by the City and
held for more than ten days.

6.1 PROCLAMATION - Proclaimed the week of March 8 - 14,
1992 as "Girl Scout Week." MPT/Papen presented the
Proclamation to Junior Girl Scout Troop 378.
6.2 UPDATE ON STATUS OF JCC PROJECT - CDD/DeStefano stated
that Tentative Tract Maps 47851 47850 and 48487 had

concerns and the City engaged engineering and
FEBRUARY 18, 1992 PAGE 5
environmental consultants to review issues pertaining
to mitigation monitoring, responses to comments, sewer
analyses, soils analyses and other issues outlined by
the community and the City Council. He further
commented that the March 3rd public hearing date may
require further continuance due to lack of opportunity
for staff to provide a quality analysis of all the data
for Council's consideration, provide feedback to the
consultants, finalize the reports and provide the
analysis and reports to the community and City Council.
C/Werner asked the City Attorney for clarification as
to whether or not there needs to be a finding of
consistency with the General Plan.
CA/Arczynski stated that there is a requirement for
consistency of the General Plan; however, that finding
has to be made in the context of the date in which the

City, will be the controlling factors in which document
applies to it for analysis.

Emergency Services Coordinator.
Mr. Armentrout briefly described his background and
plans for development of the City's disaster plans.
7. NEW BUSINESS:
7.1 RESOLUTION NO. 92-04: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING A
DEPOSIT FEE FOR THE PROCESSING OF STREET ADDRESS NUMBER
CHANGES - ACM/Belarger reported that, as a result of a
number of requests from residents, staff prepared a
proposed resolution which would accomplish two things:
establish a deposit fee for processing an address
number change and establish a procedure by which the
application can be processed and approved or
disapproved.
C/Miller requested that Section 7 be amended to read
"If the actual costs incurred do not exceed this
amount, the unused portion of deposit will be
refunded." He did not feel it appropriate to require
the owner to request a refund.
Martha Bruske, 600 S. Great Bend Dr., stated that she
was opposed to the matter and suggested that the
Council spend their time more wisely. She further
reminded the Council that she had made � specific
complaint at a previous meeting but has yet to hear
FEBRUARY 18, 1992 PAGE 6
from any City staff member in response.
C/Werner stated that he processes these type of
requests at another City and that the entire process
should require no more than one hour of staff's time.

Following discussion, C/Forbing moved, C/Miller
seconded to adopt Resolution No. 92-04, as amended.

CAN BE HEARD:
8.1 RESOLUTION NO. 92-05: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR ESTABLISHING A SERVICE
CHARGE FOR RELEASE OF STORED AND/OR IMPOUNDED VEHICLES
- ACM/Belanger reported that owners of vehicles
currently impounded/stored from within the City
boundaries are not charged for impound/storage expenses
yet the Sheriff incurs costs which are passed to the
City, via the Contract for Law Enforcement Services.
Reasons for impounding/storing vehicles may be due to
abandonment, expired registration, vehicle creating a
hazard, blocking a driveway, having more than 5
outstanding parking tickets, operation of vehicle by
unlicensed driver or with a suspended license. After
consultation with the Sheriff's Department, staff
determined a fee of $60.00 would cover the costs of
Sheriff and City personnel related to the release of an
impounded or stored vehicle. The proposed fee does not
include fees charged by the storage facility or for
towing charges.
M/Kim opened the Public Hearing.
Al Rumpilla, 23958 Golden Springs Dr., asked whether
the fee would defray costs and reduce the Sheriff's
Department billing to the City or go into the General
Fund.
ACM/Belanger stated that fees would initially go to the
General Fund but would also defray costs undertaken by
the Sheriff. t
With no further testimony offered, M/Kimtclosed the

She further spoke regarding the sign ordinance and comments
that were made during the Public Comment portion of the

should first contact City staff in order to alleviate

3. COUNCIL COMMENTS: None offered.
4. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Jeff Nelson, 23051 Rio Lobos Rd.,
expressed concern that MPT/Papen had decided to run for
Assembly so soon after she was re-elected to the City
Council. In addition, he complained that a sign he had
posted on private property had been taken down by Al Flores,
the City's Code Enforcement Officer and that a few days
after he had retrieved this sign, the Sheriff's Department
and a City truck went to his house looking to impound the
sign.
ACM/Belanger stated that he would be happy to discuss Mr.
Nelson's concerns at his convenience in the hope of
resolving the problem.
C/Werner asked for clarification as to whether or not Mr.
Nelson had been instructed to remove signs from behind City
offices, identification on the sign and what the specific
direction of the City Manager was.
C/Miller stated that he had heard that the sign was on
Montefino property and that they had requested the City to
remove it.
FEBRUARY 18, 1992
PAGE 2
ACM/Belanger stated that C/Miller's comment was accurate and
that the City had been asked to remove the sign since it had
been placed there without permission. Upon investigation,
it was determined that the sign was 32 sq. ft. in size and
that a portion of it straddled the City right-of-way. City
Code states that any sign over 6 ft. within the public
right-of-way is not permitted; therefore, this particular
sign was removed and transported to City Hall.
Beverly D'Errico, 23631 Prospect Valley, announced that on
Thursday, February 23, 1992 at the AQMD, a public meeting
will be held to address the United Nations Conference on
Environment and Development scheduled for June in Brazil.
Betty Sanford, President of the United Nations Assn. in
Pasadena will be the guest speaker.
Clair Harmony, 24139 Afamado Ln. stated that M/Kim is
responsible for the conduct of the City and expressed his
feeling that a lot of "dirty tricks" were being played at
City Hall.
Bob Quartucy, 21446 Broken Arrow, President, D.B. Lively Sr.
Citizens responded to C/Forbing's question during a previous
meeting regarding contributions made by the organization for
the benefit of the community by reading a list of contribu-
tions made by individual members.
William Gross, 21637 Highbluff Rd., presented a transcript
of a legal opinion the City Attorney had given during
discussions regarding the Tonner Canyon project during the
January 21st meeting and stated that the opinion had no
legal foundation based on law, code or court case. He
further indicated that he felt the City Attorney had mislead
the Council.
CA/Arczynski replied that, on more than one occasion, he had
indicated that State Law is abundantly clear that the
project being discussed was a vesting tentative map; the
cases and law are clear as to the guidelines and General
Plan, or lack thereof, that the City must apply to projects,
and that changes in the General Plan cannot be applied to
this project. He stated that he would be happy to provide
staff with the most recent cases on this matter for trans-
mittal to Mr. Gross.
Al Rumpilla, 23958 Golden Springs Dr., stated that he had
spoken with CM/Van Nort several times in the past regarding
the sign Ordinance and the Code Enforcement Officer's
conduct. He further stated that the sign ordinance does not
address what happens to signs after impound by the City and
held for more than ten days.

concerns and the City engaged engineering and
FEBRUARY 18, 1992
PAGE 5
environmental consultants to review issues pertaining
to mitigation monitoring, responses to comments, sewer
analyses, soils analyses and other issues outlined by
the community and the City Council. He further
commented that the March 3rd public hearing date may
require further continuance due to lack of opportunity
for staff to provide a quality analysis of all the data
for Council's consideration, provide feedback to the
consultants, finalize the reports and provide the
analysis and reports to the community and City Council.
C/Werner asked the City Attorney for clarification as
to whether or not there needs to be a finding of
consistency with the General Plan.
CA/Arczynski stated that there is a requirement for
consistency of the General Plan; however, that finding
has to be made in the context of the date in which the

were in place when the map application and other
documents were filed by Diamond Bar Associates with the

applies to it for analysis.

8. NEW BUSINESS:
8.1 CONSIDERATION OF MID -YEAR BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS - CM/Van
Nort stated that Resolution No. 90-40 established the
1991-92 Fiscal Budget, and that, based on the fact that
the budget is a "living document," it is necessary to
monitor and evaluate its implementation during the course
of the year.
Following discussion, M/Kim requested that staff prepare
a report on the impact of the street sweeping cutback
from weekly to bi-weekly to be presented in 90 days.
Martha Bruske, 600 Great Bend Dr., was concerned about
the reduction of the Sheriff's activities, and the
stationing of a sheriff's unit at Diamond Bar Blvd. and
Goldrush. She asked what other reductions had been made
and indicated that she had called City Hall many times
but did not get a response to her concerns. She
suggested that reductions at City Hall may be in order.
CM/Van Nort stated that the Sheriff's Department will
operate with one-man cars in lieu of two-man cars,
resulting in the same number of patrol cars as currently
exists. In addition, the intersection of Diamond Bar
Blvd. and Goldrush Dr. has been a traffic problem in the
past with a large number of speeders. He stated that he
would request the Sheriff's Department to prepare a
report as to why enforcement at that intersection is so
important. He then requested that Ms. Bruske provide
specifics so that he could investigate her allegations
and respond.
C/Werner moved, C/Forbing seconded to approve the

OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR ADOPTING AN INTERIM ZONING
ORDINANCE PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA
GOVERNMENT CODE 65858(a) AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT
THEREOF - DCA/Curley indicated that the purpose of the
Ordinance was to prohibit "flyer parties," defined as
those for which an admission fee is charged and which are
advertised by flyers or other posting inviting people to
attend.
Lt. Michael Muravez, Walnut Sheriff's Station, reported
that his Department endorsed the Ordinance due to their
experience that such parties are disruptive to normal
residential activities and attract persons from a wide
area, depending on how the flyers are distributed.
In response to M/Kim's question, Lt. Muravez stated that
during a flyer party approximately two weeks before, an
incident occurred involving individuals who did not want
to pay the admission fee, returned later and fatally shot
a person involved in an earlier argument.
At the request of MPT/Papen, DCA/Curley stated that
"admission charge" means a tangible benefit, either
monetary or otherwise, which is expressly or impliedly
required as a condition of admittance to a party. It
would not include donations for political, community
service, charitable or religious purposes.
C/Forbing moved, C/Miller seconded to adopt Ordinance No.

proposal would be completed within sixty days and brought
back for approval by the Council and then submitted to
the haulers for their RFPs.
Al Rumpilla, 23958 Golden Springs Dr., spoke in
opposition to a single franchise and dividing the City in
half and awarding 2 franchises.

to awarding an exclusive franchise.
Martha Bruske stated that she didn't want to hear the
Council talk about splitting the City in half. She
further stated that approximately 5 separate haulers pick
up trash on her street which creates quite a lot of noise

MEETING DATE: March 17, 1992
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit No. 91-14 (C.U.P. 91-14)
ISSUE STATEMENT:
An appeal of the Planning Commission decision which approved a dry cleaning
establishment with a dry cleaning plant maintained on the premises, located
at 1397-99 Diamond Bar Blvd. in the Montefino Center was submitted to the
City on February 11, 1992, by Councilman Gary Werner.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council confirm the decision of Planning
Commission and approve Conditional Use Permit No. 91-14.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
The proposed project is located at 1397-99 Diamond Bar Blvd. in the
Montefino Center which is in a C -3 -BE (Unlimited Commercial -Billboard
Exclusion) zone. A dry cleaning establishment is allowed in this zone by
right. A dry cleaning plant is permitted in this zone provided that a
Conditional Use Permit has first been obtained.
On February 10, 1992, at a public hearing, the Planning Commission heard
testimony and approved a request to open a dry cleaning established which
will maintain a dry cleaning plant on the premises.
A letter of appeal, submitted to the City by Councilman Werner is attached to
this report. The essence of this letter is that due to the fact that the
Planning Commission first opened the public hearing for this project at
approximately 12:30 a.m., on February 11, 1992, several people who opposed
the project did not give testimony because they had left due to the late
hour.
DISCUSSION:
Two issues were raised at the Planning Commission hearing on February 10,
1992: 1. the impacts on air quality and; 2. the number of dry cleaning
establishment within the proximity of the location of this project.
The first issue, concerning the impact on air quality, is monitored by South
Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). SCAQMD requires an air
Pollution control permit to operate a dry cleaning plant. This permit is
issued for the purpose of controlling the amount of Perchlorethylene that is
released into the atmosphere during the dry cleaning process. This permit is
renewed annually and records concerning the dry cleaning process must be
available to SCAQMD for review whenever requested.
According to SCAQMD, the real danger in Perchlorethylene (a non-combustible
chemical) is the hazardous waste called still residue, which if not disposed
of properly, could contaminate the water supply. The still residue left
after the completion of the dry cleaning process is store and cooled in the
dry cleaning equipment until a hazardous waste hauler collects and disposes
of the waste. The hazardous waste will be hauled away and properly disposed
of by A.A.D. Waste Disposal Company located at 2306 E. 38th St., Vernon,
California.
The second issue, is the close proximity in which dry cleaning establishments
are located. As for SCAQMD, they are not concerned about the close proximity
that dry cleaning establishments could be located. Their main concern is
that the equipment used has the proper air pollution control devices and the
still residue is disposed of properly. The City of Diamond Bar does not have
provisions in its code that would control how close dry cleaning
establishments can be located. Staff is unaware of any city that regulates
the issue of separating a particular land use, from itself, in other
location, due to over concentration except for adult uses. At the present
time, there is a dry cleaning establishment in the Montefino Plaza which is
adjacent to the subject site.
Attached to this report are the minutes from the February 10, 1992 Planning
Commission meeting. Within the minutes are comments from the public and the
Commissioners concerning the impacts to air quality and the location of dry
cleaning establishments. Most of the Commissioners felt that it was not the
Commission's responsibility to choose what business should be allowed in
which center and if a particular business is viable for the chosen location.
The proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment. In
this case, there will not be a significant effect on the environment because
mitigation measures have been incorporated into the proposed project and a
Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared according to the guidelines
of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The applicant has
assured the City that all the required safeguards will be taken to insure the
protection of the environment.

probability that the approval of this project as proposed in said
Application will not have an adverse effect on adjacent or
adjoining residential or commercial use, enjoyment, or valuation of
other persons located in the vicinity and the Conditional Use
Permit will not adversely affect the health or welfare of persons
residing or working in the surrounding area.

CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
CUP 91-14 FEBRUARY 10, 1992
CD/DeStefano reported that the application is for a request to open
a dry cleaning establishment which will maintain a dry cleaning
plant on the premises. The proposed project is located at 11397-99
Diamond Bar Blvd., which is in a C -3 -BE Zone. A dry cleaning
establishment is allowed in this zone by right, however, since this
facility will have a plant on site, a conditional use permit is
required. Staff has received numerous letters from citizens who
are in opposition to this particular application because there are
existing dry cleaners within the City, and several different dry
cleaners within this immediate area. The citizens are also
concerned about the impacts to air quality from the chemicals used
with this kind of operation. Upon contact with the AQMD, they
indicated that there is no maximum facilities that can be located
within one jurisdiction, as long as each of them receives the
proper permits through the procedures established by AQMD.
Secondly, staff is unaware of a single City that gets into the
issue of separating land uses, or over concentration of land uses
(with the possible exception of adult uses). Staff recommended The
Commission approve the application, with the mitigated negative
declaration, the findings of fact, and conditions.
C/Harmony indicated that the last prior approval for the dry
cleaning establishment had a problem with their exhaust venting
into the back door of one of the upstairs offices. The venting was
reduct to solve the problem.
The Public Hearing was declared opened.
Douglas Levine, a dry cleaning in-house consultant for PECO
Equipment Co., explained that the only venting done in a dry
cleaning facility today is the venting of the boiler. There are no
chemicals vented to the atmosphere, or discharged to the sewer.
This facility has already been approved by AQMD. It is just in the
process of a name change. He further stated that, to his
knowledge, there are only two cleaners in the general area. One
cleaner is across the way, and the other is in the adjacent center.
CD/DeStefano explained that there are two separate centers with two
separate owners that are adjacent to one another.
John Hitan, owner of the existing cleaners located within 75 yards
of the proposed new facility, stated that there are already 6
cleaners within a quarter of a mile distance. Another facility,
especially so close to their existing business, may drive them
away. Furthermore, parking is already a problem within that
center.
Grigori Hitan, owner of Thrifty Clean Cleaners, stated that the
shopping center, that they are presently located, is small and
competition is already difficult. If this proposed discount
cleaners is permitted to come into the Center, it will close out
his business.
Bill Tinsmen, residing at 1014 Capon Ave., indicated that City
Planners should not allow business failures by allowing too many of
the same uses to operate within one area.
Doug Levine pointed out that the issue here is one of free
enterprise, not of planning, because you have two different
shopping centers, with two different landlords.
Grigori Hitan stated that though the centers are separate, they are
adjacent, and both are too small for two cleaners to exist.
John Hitan stated that it is unfair to expect free enterprise when
his competition is next store to him within a small area.
The Public Hearing was declared closed.
PT/Lungu, responding to C/Harmony, explained that staff didn't
receive application for a permit before the name change. The AQMD
issued the permit under the old name. They are now coming to the
Commission for a CUP under the new name.
C/Harmony stated that though he believes in IaW
government, he has pa trouble with seein this t faire
pment
going in when there are six dry cleaners in the earea de An good
landlord would not allow 2 cleaners in one center, except for the
fact that they are two separate landlords.
Motion was made by C/Harmony to deny the CUP.
The Motion Failed for lack of a second.
Chair/Grothe indicated that it is not the Commission's
responsibility to chose which business goes in which center.
C/Schey stated that deciding which business is viable and which
isn't viable exceeds our planning function.
C/Harmony, noting staff's efforts to make sure that churches could
not go in commercial zoning, or the Commission's discussion about
avoiding the development of two car washes across from each other,
stated that the Commission often makes decisions based on economic
development.
Motion was made by C/Schey, seconded by VC/MacBride and CARRIED to
approve the CUP as recommended by staff and subject to the
conditions outlined in the Resolution.
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Schey, MacBride, and Chair/Grothe.
NOES: COMMISSIONERS: Harmony.

mond Bar, California, as described in the title of this Resolu-
tion.
Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Conditional Use
Permit is referred to as "Application".
2. On April 18, 1989, the City of Diamond Bar was established as a
duly organized municipal organization of the State of
California. On said date, pursuant to the requirements, as

California Government § 65360.
4. The Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar, on February
10, 1992 conducted a duly noticed public hearing on said Appli-
cation and concluded said hearing on such date.
5. All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have
occurred.
Resolution
NOW, THEREFORE, it is found, determined and resolved by the Plan-
ning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar as follows:
1. This Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that all of
1
the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution
are true and correct.
2. The Planning Commission hereby finds that the Negative
Declaration has been prepared in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and guidelines
promulgated thereunder, and, further this Planning Commission
has reviewed and considered the information contained in the
said Negative Declaration with respect to the project
identified in this Resolution.
3. Based upon substantial evidence presented to this Commission
during the above referenced public hearings and oral testimony
provided at the hearings, this Commission hereby specifically
finds as follows:
(a) The project relates to a site which is comprised of 1.92
acres with retail shops and restaurants within the C -3 -BE
zone, on Diamond Bar Blvd. between Montifino Ave. and
Mountain Laurel Way, City of Diamond Bar, California.
(b) Generally, property to the North is Residential Planned
Development -8,000 square foot lots -9 units (RPD -8,
000-9U) zone; property to the South is Limited Multiple
Residence -18U (R -3-18U) zone; property to the East is
Residential -Minimum Lot Size 8,000 square feet (R-1-8,000)
and R -3-8,000-30U zones; and property to the West is R-1-
8,000 zone.
(c) The Conditional Use Permit will not have an adverse effect
on adjacent or adjoining residential commercial uses. It
will not be materially detrimental to the use, enjoyment,
or valuation of property of other persons located in the
vicinity and the Conditional Use Permit will not adversely
affect the health or welfare of persons residing or work-
ing in the surrounding area.
(d) It is hereby declared that and made a condition of this
permit that if any condition hereof is violated, or if any
law, statue, or ordinance is violated, the permit shall be
suspended and the privileges granted shall lapse; provided
that the applicant has been given written notice to cease
such violation and has failed to do so for a period of
thirty (30) days.
(e) Notwithstanding any previous Subsection of this
Resolution, if the Department of Fish and Game requires
payment of a fee pursuant to Section 711.4 of the Fish and
Game Code, payment thereof shall be made by the applicant
prior to the issuance of any building permit or any other
entitlement.
5. Based upon the substantial evidence and conclusion set forth
2
herein above, and conditions set forth below in this
Resolution, presented to the Planning Commission on February
10, 1992, at the public hearing referenced herein, this Commis-
sion in conformance with the terms and provisions.of California
Government Code § 65360, hereby finds and concludes as follows:
(a) The granting of this Conditional Use Permit is based on
the reasonable probability that the project request
considered herein it is will be consistent with the
General Plan on the basis of review of the draft General
Plan presently under going review by the City. There is
little or no probability of substantial detriment to or
interference with the finally adopted General Plan if this
application is granted and the same is ultimately
inconsistent with the Plan because the unique physical
circumstances applicable to the subject site, together
with the conditions applied hereto, serve to minimize any
and deleterious impacts which could otherwise arise.

foot lots -9 units) zone; to the south is R -3-18U (Limited Multiple
Residence) zone; to the west is R-1-8,000 (Residential -Minimum Lot Size
8,000 square feet) zone; to the east is R-1-8,000 and R -3-8,000-30U
zone.
At the present time, there is a dry cleaning establishments with a dry
cleaning plant at Montefino Plaza which is adjacent to Montefino
Center.
APPLICATION ANALYSIS:
The proposed dry cleaning establishment will be located in a unit of
approximately 2,100 square feet and is adequate in size for the
proposed use. one (1) dry cleaning unit, six (6) pressing units for
the different types of garments to be pressed, a spotting board, a
boiler, air compressor, and two (2) conveyors to hang and move clean
articles of clothing will be the main equipment to be utilized. There
will not be any exterior alterations to the building. The maximum
number of employees will be five (5). Hours of operation will be
Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 7 P.M. and Saturday from 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m.
The required number of parking spaces for the existing uses and the
proposed use in this shopping center are seventy-three (73). The
number provided is eighty-five (85). Egress and ingress to this
shopping center is adequate for the proposed use. The previous use in
the subject unit was a chinese restaurant. According to David Liu,
Associate Engineer of the City, the current ingress and egress and the
on-site circulation are adequate for the proposed dry cleaning
establishment.
The signage for the proposed dry cleaning establishment is not included
as part of this approval process.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) requires an
air pollution control permit to operate a dry cleaning plant. This
permit is issued for the purpose of controlling the amount of Perchlor-
ethylene that is released into the atmosphere during the dry cleaning
process. This permit is renewed annually and records concerning the
dry cleaning process must be available to the SCAQMD for review whenev-
er requested.
Perchlorethylene is the chemical used in the dry cleaning process. The
applicant will be using approximately ten (10) gallons of
Perchlorethylene a month. From the dry cleaning process a still
residue will be produced which is the hazardous waste. This waste will
be hauled away by A.A.D. Hazard Waste Disposal Company located at 2306
Agenda Item

E. 38th St., Vernon, California. According to Don Dallons, regional
sales manager of A.A.D., Perchlorethylene is a non-combustible
chemical. The health risk in using this chemical is through human
consumption which is possible if not disposed of in the proper way and
could result in Perchlorethylene contaminating the water supply.
Perchlorethylene is delivered to the dry cleaning establishment. The
amount needed is pumped into the dry cleaning equipment, stored there,
and dispensed as needed during the dry cleaning process. A.A.D. will
haul away the remaining hazardous waste from Perchlorethylene and the
filters used in the cleaning process, disposing of the waste in
accordance with state and federal regulations. Some of the waste is
recycled into brake fluid, jewelry cleaner, and Perchlorethylene.
The applicant will be using a dry cleaning machine manufactured by
Realstar which incoporates the most advanced technology, to conform
with current health and safety requirements, and comply with
environmental and ecological restrictions. An efficient refrigeration
unit, this machine obtains extremely low solvent consumption.
The boiler is manufactured by Thermo -Steam. It is an economical source
of high pressure steam which is used for pressing garments. It is
equipped with Honeywell Micro safety switches. The boiler will use
approximately fifty-five gallons of water a day. The portion of water
not consumed in the pressing process is then recylced for use at
another time.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
Although the proposed use could have a significant effect on the envi-
ronment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because
the mitigation measures have been incorporated into the proposed pro-
ject and a Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared according
to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The applicant has assured the City that all the required safeguards
will be taken to insure the protection of the environment.
