CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
MINUTES OF THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING
AUGUST 4, 1992
CALL TO ORDER: Mayor Kim called the meeting to order at 6:02 p.m.
at the South Coast Air Quality Management
Auditorium, 21865 East Copley Drive, Diamond Bar,
California.
PLEDGE OF The audience was led in the Pledge of Allegiance by
ALLEGIANCE: Mayor Kim.
ROLL CALL: Councilmen: Forbing, Miller, Mayor Pro Tem Papen,
and Mayor Kim. Councilmen Werner arrived at 6:40
p.m.
Also present were City Manager Terrence Belanger,
City Attorney Andrew Arczynski, Community
Development Director James DeStefano, Interim City
Engineer George Wentz, and City Clerk Lynda
Burgess.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: John Healy stated his concern for the condition of
Diamond Bar Boulevard.
Mike Goldenberg complained that the rates for the
Basic Plus plan, for Jones Intercable, has been
increased by 9.2%, and the Basic plan by 5%, for a
total rate increase of 19.2% since September 30,
1991. He stated that he would be less inclined to
object to reasonable rate increases if such
monopolistic franchisees held public hearings for
rate increases, and were governed by a regulatory
agency that would oversee excess profits.
Red Calkins, residing at 240 Eagle Nest Dr., stated
that he is not connected in any way with the group
that is circulating the referendum for the General
Plan. He thanked staff for contacting the Fire
Department regarding the weeds on Torito Lane, as
well as picking up the trash in the area.
Marshall Wise stated that he received a speeding
ticket, inaccurately documented, on Derringer Lane,
July 7, 1992, by Deputy Walker. He indicated that
Diamond Bar has overzealous traffic policemen that
seem to be more interested in tracking motorists
coming out of their driveways, than they are with
traffic control within the City.
William Gross stated that though the City has
indicated that they have not been engaged in
negotiations with the Boy Scouts of America (BSA)
regarding their property, the BSA has indicated
August 4, 1992 Page 2
that they have been negotiating with the City for
the past several months. He also stated that the
proponents of the referendum for the General Plan
hope that the Council reconsider the General Plan
and come up with a Plan more representative of the
citizens.
Al Rumpella, residing at 23958 Golden Springs Dr.,
objected to the following changes made to the
opening procedure of tonight's meeting: Public
comments were allowed before the Council comments;
speaker cards inquire if the speaker is for or
against an item: citizen's inquiries have not been
answered by the Council as they are asked; and the
strict policy of only allowing five minutes to
address the Council on agenda items.
Max Maxwell, in reference to a letter received by
Community Development Director James DeStefano,
from the State of California, requesting that
Diamond Bar submit a copy of the draft General
Plan, and the draft EIR, to the Governors Office of
Planning and Research, 30 days prior to final
consideration of the City Council, inquired why it
has not yet been submitted even 20 days after
adoption of the General Plan.
Barbara Ruth, residing at 1403 Winterwood Lane,
president of Walnut/Diamond Bar Theater, stated
that they are still in need of stages for their
performances.
Mack Gilliland stated that the Walnut/Diamond Bar
Theater has been existing on the generosity of the
Walnut Valley Unified School District facilities.
However, they would like to become a respected
community theater offering artistic and recreation
outlet for all level of ages in the community.
CM/Belanger, in response to the concern regarding
the condition of Diamond Bar Blvd., stated that
City staff is presently exploring remedial
measures, such as surface failures, to be done in
the near future. Also, staff is exploring larger
Plans of slurrying, or resurfacing of Diamond Bar
Blvd., to be done within 12 to 18 months. The City
needs to utilize gas tax, FAU, and other sources of
revenues to mount such a project.
CM/Belanger, in response to the concern regarding
the Jones Intercable rate increase, stated that the
National legislature has usurped State and Local
governments in the regulation of the cable
industry. Staff will be in communication with
August 4, 1992 page 3
Jones Intercable in an attempt to get more
information as to the increase.
CM/Belanger, in response to Mr. Wise 's concern
regarding the speeding ticket he received, pointed
out that Lt. Mauravez, of the Sheriff Department,
is present at tonight's meeting and has noted his
concern. He assured Mr. Wise that the City has not
asked for any kind of selective enforcement in "The
Country".
CM/Belanger, in response to Mr.Gross's comment,
confirmed that there has not been any negotiations
with the BSA. The City has contacted the BSA,
during the General Plan process, to ask them to
express their intentions regarding their property.
Mayor/Kim, in response to the concerns stated by
Mr. Rumpilla, stated that he has changed the
procedure of the meeting in hopes of eliminating a
lot of the arguing and debating that has occurred
during the last few meetings. Everyone is given an
ample opportunity to express their concerns.
CDD/DeStefano, in response to Mr. Maxwell's
concern, stated that staff has the correspondence
to confirm that the draft General Plan was sent to
the Governors Office of Planning and Research
directly following the Planning Commission's action
on the document June 8, 1992.
COUNCILMEN C/Forbing reminded the public that there are three
COMMENTS: more Concerts in the Parks scheduled. In response
to the General Plan, he indicated that the people
of Diamond Bar, after 18 public hearings, has had
plenty of opportunity to express their opinions.
The Council did respond to the concerns of Tonner
Canyon by leaving it zoned agricultural. He
pointed out that the State allows the General Plan
to be amended four times a year, therefore a
legitimate complaint can be rediscussed at any
time.
C/Miller pointed out that the Agricultural zone,
which is the zone designation for Tonner Canyon,
does not allow for development. The Council has
tried to be responsive to the community. He noted
that it would take a General Plan amendment if
Tonner Canyon ever did become part of Diamond Bar.
Also, if the BSA chooses to develop through the
County of Los Angeles, Diamond Bar is only advisory
at that point in time.
August 4, 1992 Page 4
C/Werner, in regards to the General Plan,
encouraged citizens to get involved with the viable
options available, but to get involved with the
proper information. He then stated that he has
requested staff to place, on the next agenda, the
establishment of a Senior liaison committee to
include members of the City Council, and the Parks
and Recreation Commission, with the purpose of
developing a department that would address the
concerns of the Senior population. He volunteered
to be a member of the sub -committee.
MPT/Papen, noting that both the Parks and
Recreation Commission and the Traffic and
Transportation Commission have also addressed
issues dealing with senior citizens, suggested that
one encompassing group be formed, as opposed to
establishing five or six advisory committees to
each different agency. Furthermore, the Chinese
Association has recently announced that they are
forming a Senior Citizens group. Groups, that
don't normally appear before the City Council,
should be informed that the City has Senior citizen
housing. She informed the Council that she
represented the City at a Mayor's and Councilmen
meeting regarding the budget crises. The League of
Cities presented two options: prepare an initiative
action to assure that the State leaves revenue
sources in line; or, the more popular option of
calling for a constitutional convention that would
require the State to balance its budget. She
requested ACM/Belanger to review how the State's
lack of budget affects Diamond Bar this year.
Mayor/Kim stated that the Council designated Tonner
Canyon as an Agricultural zone for the purpose of
prohibiting any potential development in the area.
CM/Belanger stated that the State of California has
not been able to resolve the long term budget
crisis. As a result, all the subventions
coming from the State are coming in non -monetary
form, such as register warrants, and are contingent
upon the State of California doing something with
their budget.
CONSENT CALENDAR: CM/Bel anger clarified the following items on the
Consent Calendar: item 5.8 is Resolution No. 92-48;
item 5.13 is Resolution No. 92-47; and the Minutes
of July 21, 1992 is amended to properly indicate,
"unable", as reflected in item #4 of the correction
sheet.
August 4, 1992 page 5
C/Werner requested that item 5.8, Resolution 92-48,
of the Consent Calendar, be pulled.
MPT/Papen stated that she will be abstaining from
voting on item 5.2.1, Minutes of July 7, 1992,
because she was absent from that meeting.
C/Werner, in reference to item 5.8, noted that the
City Council is being asked to record the final
map, though the landscaping and tree requirements
imposed on the subdivision map, have not yet been
installed. The City should have the proper
documentation to assure that the City does not lose
it's leverage on the landscaping.
CD/DeStefano explained that landscaping is a
condition of the map. The issue of landscaping was
a bonded issue. All of the conditions of the
project must be resolved prior to occupancy, or
occupancy will not be granted.
CA/Arczynski stated that the on site landscaping
conditions are part of the CUP for this project.
All of the public improvement requirements of the
map, with the exception of the signal installation,
have been completed.
Motion was made by C/Forbing, seconded by C/Miller,
and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to approve the Consent
Calendar, as amended. MPT/Papen abstained from
voting on item 5.2.1.
AYES: COUNCILMEN: Forbing, Miller, Werner,
Mayor Pro Tem Papen, and
Mayor Kim.
NOES: COUNCILMEN: None.
ABSTAIN: COUNCILMEN: None.
ABSENT: COUNCILMEN: None.
Motion was made by C/Forbing and seconded by
C/Miller to approve the recommendation in item 5.8,
Resolution 92-48.
C/Werner noted that the property owner could
conceivably sell off individual units, leaving 54
homeowners that can't occupy the units because the
landscaping was not completed.
CA/Arczynski stated that the law requires the City
to approve the final map, if it is in substantial
compliance with the Tentative Tract map. Staff has
reviewed the final map and have concluded that the
final map is in compliance with the Tentative Tract
map, with the sole exception of the signal. They
August 4, 1992 Page 6
have provided an agreement, and bonding, to insure
that the signal is installed.
C/Werner stated that to satisfy the condition for
the recordation of Tract Map does not necessarily
mean that the work has been completed, but that all
the criteria necessary for recordation of the map
have been completed.
AYES: COUNCILMEN: Forbing, Miller, and
Mayor Kim.
NOES: COUNCILMEN: Werner and MPT/Papen.
ABSTAIN: COUNCILMEN: None.
ABSENT: COUNCILMEN: None.
The Motion CARRIED.
OLD BUSINESS:
CM/Belanger presented the staff report for
Resolution 92-49, to approve the plans and
Res. 92-49
specifications, and call for bids, for the
Heritage Park
reconstruction of the Heritage Park Community
Community Bldg.
Building. Three community work sessions were
conducted with community members, seniors, and
local organization representatives. The submitted
plans and specifications were developed, through
the work sessions and discussions with the Parks
and Recreation Commission, to best serve the needs
of the community. Staff is projecting the mid-
summer of 1993 for the opening of this facility.
It is recommended that the City Council adopt
Resolution 92-49.
CM/Belanger, in response to C/Werner's inquiry,
explained that, as it becomes more apparent that
the building will be opened and available for use,
the City staff will begin the reservation process
for not only ongoing City recreation and community
group programming, but for use by private groups,
as well. A policy for the use of the building will
be developed by the Parks and Recreation Commission
for recommendation to the City Council.
C/Werner requested that the City Engineer review
the public street right of way to determine if more
parking could be added, and to review ways to
improve parking security, such as additional
lighting.
Motion was made by MPT/Papen, seconded by C/Werner,
and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to adopt Resolution 92-49,
approving the plans and specifications for the
Heritage Park Community Building construction,
authorizing the City Clerk to advertize and receive
bids.

NEW BUSINESS: Dennis Tarango, the City's Building Official,
presented the staff report for Ordinance No. 03 of
Ordinance No. 03 the City Council. Every three years the State of
Uniform Bldg. California is mandated to review, for approval, the
Codes most current uniform codes printing by the
International Conference of Building Officials
(ICBO). The reason for review is to keep current
with the construction methods. The State allows
local municipalities to amend the Uniform Building
Codes to meet the unique climatic, geographical,
and topographic conditions of the City. He then
reviewed the major amendments to the Uniform Codes,
as indicated in the staff report.
CA/Arczynski stated that the City Council will be
asked to set the public hearing date to get public
input on the proposed modifications to the various
codes. At the same time, staff will present, to
the City Council, the appropriate Resolutions
making the requisite findings with regards to the
modifications to the codes that have been proposed.
He recommended introduction by Title only, for
first reading, and then to set the hearing prior to
the second reading, and adoption.
CD/DeStefano stated that staff recommends that the
City Council set the public hearing date for
September 1, 1992.
Motion was made by C/Werner, seconded by C/Miller
and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to accept staffs
recommendation.

Res. No. 92-50
ICE/Wentz presented the staff report for Resolution
Colima to
92-50 of the City Council to consider changing the
Golden Springs
name of Colima Rd. to Golden Springs Dr., between
name change
Brea Canyon Rd. and the westerly City limit. The
Traffic and Transportation Commission (TTC)
discussed the matter, and held a public hearing on
July 9, 1992. The TTC minutes of July 9, 1992 have
August 4, 1992
Parks Master
Page 8
been made available to the City Council. The TTC
concluded that, based upon the testimony received,
and the potential impact upon those businesses in
that section of roadway, it would not be
appropriate to change the name at this particular
time, and that the street name change be deferred
since the sphere -of -influence area (i.e. Fairway
Drive) may be affected in the future. A Resolution
has been prepared should the Council decide to
proceed with further action.
C/Forbing stated that the name Golden Springs Rd.
should be continous through the City. It doesn't
make sense to stop the naming of the street right
in the middle of the City limit.
Motion was made by C/Forbing, and seconded by
C/Miller to approve Resolution 92-50.
MPT/Papen stated her concern that the business and
property owners have not been notified that the
City Council is considering overriding the TTC's
recommendation.
ICE/Wentz, in response to C/Werner, stated that the
business and property owners received a letter from
the City staff indicating the time and place for
the TTC public hearings. It was also published in
two local newspapers.
CA/Arczynski stated that there is no legal
requirement for a public hearing of the City
Council on this matter.
Mayor/Kim stated that he does not see any great
benefit in changing the name during these trying
economic times. He recommended that the item be
indefinitely postponed.
MPT/Papen stated that it would add to the
cohesiveness of the City to have the Golden Springs
street name continuous through the City. She
suggested that the matter be continued, and that
the businesses be renotified.
C/Forbing withdrew his motion, with the
understanding that the City Council direct staff to
reschedule this item for the September 1, 1992
meeting, and to send a notice to the property and
business owners along the affected area. C/Miller
withdrew his second to the motion. The Council
concurred.
CM/Belanger stated that staff requests that this
August 4, 1992
Plan item be deferred
is the Council's
of process in a
and Recreation.
Page 9
to a subsequent meeting, unless it
pleasure to adopt a different type
creation of a Master Plan of Parks
C/Miller stated that the preparation of the Parks
Master Plan should be accomplished by staff and the
Park and Recreation Commission. This is not
something that we should be contracting for at this
time.
CM/Belanger stated that staff and the Park and
Recreation Commission will embark upon a Master
Plan of Parks and Recreation development utilizing
staff members and volunteers from local
universities. Staff will bring the item back to
the Council at the next meeting. The Council
concurred.
Rehab. of Grand CM/Belanger stated that staff will repropose this
Ave. project and bring back a new recommendation with a
new mix of consultants at a later date.
MPT/Papen inquired if funds for this projects is
coming from the Grand Ave. construction fund. She
further inquired if there is support from the other
Councilmembers to use rubberized asphalt, or some
kind of mixture of recycled materials, in the
pavement. She noted that rubberized asphalt does
absorb sound and may help alleviate some of the
noise problem on Grand Avenue.
ICE/Wentz confirmed that the project will be funded
through the Grand Ave. construction fund, both for
design and construction. We are including, as part
of the bid process, an alternative bid item to use
our recycled materials.
The Council concurred to continue the matter to the
next meeting.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Al Rumpella stated that, under Roberts Rules of
Order, page 66, he is allowed to return to the
microphone after everyone else has spoken. He
stated that he does not agree with Mayor Kim in
interrupting the citizens from speaking, and is
concerned that all the rules have been changed in
the last two weeks.
CA/Arczynski stated that the order of business of
the City Council is the Council's prerogative.
Furthermore, page 66 of the Roberts Rule of Order,
is for a deliberative body, and has nothing to do
with the audience's participation at this meeting.
August 4, 1992 Page 10
C/Werner requested the City Manager to investigate
ways for the City to provide solicitation of input
from the public (i.e. postcards) as to how the City
Council is doing.
MPT/Papen requested staff to take special note of
comments made regarding the cable franchise. The
cable franchisee is up for renewal in the City of
Diamond Bar within the next 6 months. She stated
that she and the City Manager will be going to
Sacramento in regards to SB1718.

CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
MINUTES OF THE TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
JUNE 11, 1992
CALL TO ORDER: Chairman Chavers called the meeting to order at
6:38 p.m. at the South Coast Air Quality Management
District Hearing Room, 21865 East Copley Drive,
Diamond Bar, California.
PLEDGE OF The audience was led in the Pledge of Allegiance
ALLEGIANCE: by Chair/Chavers.
ROLL CALL: Commissioners: Ury, Cheng, Vice Chairman Gravdahl,
and Chairman Chavers. Commissioner Beke was absent
(excused).
Also present were Interim City Engineer George
Wentz, Associate Engineer David Liu, Administrative
Analyst Tseday Aberra, Sergeant Rawlings, and
contract Secretary Liz Myers.
MINUTES:
May 21, 1992 VC/Gravdahl requested that the Minutes of May 21,
1992 be amended on page 10, second paragraph, to
add the statement, "It is subject to the approval
of LACTC, Orange County Transit District, and San
Pac".
C/Ury noted that the Motion on page 7 is
incomplete. He requested that there be mention
that all day delivery parking should be discouraged
in front of the residential properties, and all the
parking to the commercial properties should remain
on site.
Motion was made by C/Ury, seconded by VC/Gravdahl
and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to approve the Minutes of
May 21, 1992, as amended.
COMMISSION VC/Gravdahl, noting that the Reduce Speed Ahead
COMMENTS: sign, on Diamond Bar Boulevard, has been installed
about 150 feet passed the 45 m.p.h. sign, indicated
that he had understood that the speed limit sign
was to be taken down to encourage the 40 m.p.h..
Chair/Chavers stated that the purpose was to
reinforce the 45 m.p.h. speed limit through that
area, and forewarn motorists that the speed limit
will be further reduced. It is appropriately
marked.
Chair/Chavers then requested staff to review the
situation of the need to realign the two left turn
arrows on Diamond Bar Blvd. and Golden Springs.
CONSENT CALENDAR: VC/Gravdahl requested item B to be pulled from the
Consent Calendar.
June 11,
1992 Page 3
OLD BUSINESS:
Mid -block
crosswalk in
AE/Liu reported that the Commission, at the April
9, 1992 meeting, requested
front of Maple
staff to conduct a mid -
block crosswalk evaluation and
Hill Elem.
a warrant study for
crossing guard service in front of the Maple Hill
Elementary School. The study considered the
relocation of the
crosswalk across Maple Hill Road,
west of Eaglefen Drive. It is
recommended that the
Commission concur with staff's recommendation to
relocate the crosswalk from Maple Hill Road, west
of Eaglefen Drive to
approximately 400 feet west of
Blenbury Drive. Necessary
pavement legend and
signs will need to be installed accordingly.
Leslie Stoltz, residing at 1755 Ano Nuevo, stated
that they
would like to be sure that the crosswalk
avoids the school driveway because it is
used by
school buses and vans. She also requested that
there be
centerline yellow striping.
Motion was made VC/Gravdahl, seconded by C/Ury and
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to adopt staff's
recommendation, and for staff to work with the
school for the
proper placement of the crosswalk,
Staff is to
review the application of centerline
striping, and, if it deems
appropriate, handle it
administratively.
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Cheng, Ury, VC/Gravdahl,
and Chair/Chavers.
NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None.
ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: Beke.
AE/Liu stated that it is anticipated that the
contractor, doing the slurry seal will also do the
centerline striping, scheduled to be done next
week. Any signs associated with the old crosswalk
will be
removed appropriately.
Holiday Shuttle
AA/Aberra reported that, as was requested at the
last meeting, staff has provided C/Ury and C/Cheng
with the report of the 1991 Holiday Shuttle
Program. It is
recommended that the Commission
present its suggestions, and consider incorporating
said recommendations into the 1992 Holiday Shuttle
Program planning.
VC/Gravdahl made the following suggestions: form a
sub -committee of the TTC to meet with the Senior
Citizen group, and the riderships from the Heritage
Park Apartments, to get further input to get raised
ridership, with the intent of possibly incorpora-
ting that input into action for this year's
program; having the shuttle drop off passengers at
June 11, 1992 Page 5
visibility restriction. Due to lack of time to
observe the site, staff is requesting that the
matter be postponed to the July 9, 1992 meeting.
Ken Anderson, residing at 2628 Rising Star, stated
that the there has been six accidents at Diamond
Bar Blvd. and Fountain Springs since September of
1991. Three injury accidents has occurred in the
last three months, indicating that there is
obviously a problem that has developed there
recently. The wall along Fountain Springs, as well
as the parking occurring on that street, creates a
blind intersection on Fountain Springs, turning
north on Diamond Bar Blvd.. He suggested that
there be "No Parking" 100 feet from the corner, to
the fire hydrant to Diamond Bar Blvd., immediately.
ICE/Wentz, in response to Chair/Chavers, stated
that staff will have a firm recommendation back to
the Commission at the next meeting. There should
be no reason to postpone this matter passed the
next meeting.
Chair/Chavers stated that, if parking removal is to
be staff's recommendation, then staff should
discuss with the adjacent business area as to why
it is necessary for them to park out on the street.
C/Ury requested staff to look into a temporary "No
Parking" along Fountain Springs, for at least
enough distance to make sure that any visibility
there is maintained, and to investigate the
Possibility of cutting back that wall. He asked
Sgt. Rawlings to provide selective enforcement, in
the area, during the time that the theater let's
out.
Ken Anderson indicated that the traffic congestion
occurs intermittently, all day long.
C/Ury suggested that staff check into the
feasibility of closing off the entry onto Fountain
Springs.
The Commission concurred to accept staff's
recommendation.
STATUS OF ICE/Wentz stated that this agenda item is for the
PREVIOUS ITEM Commission's information.
ACTIONS:
Chair/Chavers stated that the sign on Chinook Place
has been improperly placed. He suggested that the
sign be moved so that it is better seen by
motorists.
June 11, 1992 Page 7
AE/Liu, in response to Chair/Chavers inquiry,
stated that the pavement improvements construction
limits will start from Brea Canyon all the way to
Grand Avenue. The median study is just for the
area previously indicated.
INFORMATIONAL AE/Liu introduced Interim City Engineer George
ITEMS: Wentz to the Commission.
C/Ury stated that the matter of the intersection of

ITEMS FROM VC/Gravdahl stated that the stop sign on the corner

it's visibility is blocked by a tree.
AE/Liu stated that staff will investigate the
matter.
ITEMS FROM C/Ury indicated that he was under the impression
STAFF: that overnight parking was already restricted in
Diamond Bar.
Sgt. Rawlings explained that the County ordinance,
adopted by Diamond Bar, prohibiting overnight
parking on residential street between 2:00 a.m. and
4:00 a.m., is not enforced anywhere in the County,
in the Sheriff Department jurisdiction, except in
cities where they have made a new ordinance that
requests the Sheriff Department to enforce it. The
City of Diamond Bar has not made such a request.
Chair/Chavers requested staff to forward, to Mr.
Grabowski, copies of some paperwork regarding the
public hearing held on this matter.
ICE/Wentz stated that staff has handed out, to the
Commission, a preliminary layout of proposed
medians along Golden Springs, from Brea Canyon to
just passed the 57 freeway overpass, to be done
hopefully this summer. The business owners have
not been contacted as of yet, but staff will do so
prior to the next meeting. Staff would like the
Commission's input and direction regarding those
upcoming projects.
Chair/Chavers made the following comments: the left
turn bay, left at Brea Canyon Road, seems short;
there are four distinct driveways between In and
Out Burger and Armstrong/Carrows which will be
confusing for motorists; as an alternative, we
should considered posting "Right Turn Only" signs
out of these driveways; and combine either option
#1 or #2, with option #3, in front of the In and
Out Burger/Armstrong area.
AE/Liu, in response to VC/Gravdahl, explained that
this project will be done as one of the Capital
Improvement Projects, if deemed feasible. The
maintenance of these improvements will come out of
Assessment District #38.

VC/Gravdahl and C/Ury volunteered to be on the sub-
committee.
C/Ury concurred with the suggestion of looping into
some of the residential areas to provide more
ridership.
Chair/Chavers suggested that there be a milestone
schedule, indicating the date the route will be
set, the set number of buses fixed, as well as the
information from the questionnaire, so that the
project can start to be pulled together. He
requested that the item be continued to the next
meeting.

upon a request received from Neil Armstrong

concur with staff's recommendation to install a
crosswalk on Clearview Crest Drive and Beaverhead
Drive, including the installation of necessary
pavement legend, a School Crosswalk (W-66) sign and
a School Xing sign (W -66A).

Minutes of Chair/Chavers noted that only three of the

the Planning Commission on May 11, 1992, therefore,
there is a quorum of the Commission to act on the

and Miller. Mayor Pro Tem Papen was excused.

3. COUNCIL COMMENTS: C/Forbing stated that he and C/Werner
and ACM/Belanger had just returned from Sacramento during
which they testified on S.B. 1718 regarding provision of 75
acres by the City of Industry toward the construction of a
high school by the Pomona Unified School District. The
Assembly Housing Committee approved the bill for consideration
by the Legislature in September.
C/Miller announced that the first Concert in the Park at
Sycamore Canyon was well -attended and that there would be a
concert each Wednesday through August 19th, 6:30 to 8:00 P.M.
C/Werner indicated that he was pleased to speak on behalf of
the community for S.B. 1718 . The City Council has pursued all
efforts available to help facilitate the construction of the
high school.
4. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Red Calkins, 240 Eagle Nest Dr.,
thanked the Sheriff's Department for successfully apprehending
an armed robber who accosted his neighbor's sister while
walking in the vicinity of Prospectors and Sunset Crossing.
Jim Paul, 1269 Ahtena, referring to LAD 38, suggested that the
City reevaluate the proposal to put medians in the areas
between Gona Ct . and Lemon Ave. and instead, construct medians
between Lemon Ave. and Calborne so that travelers into the
City can enjoy the value of the landscape district. He
further suggested that the Council adopt a policy which would
require future Councilmen, upon election to higher office, to
subsidize the City for selection of a replacement which would
maintain the citizens' right to vote on that replacement. In
addition, he suggested that, in accordance with Prop 140, the
City restrict elected officers to two terms and set the stage
for eliminating career politicians.
JULY 7, 1992 PAGE 2
Clair Harmony, 24139 Afamado Ln., asked whether the City's
purchase of the land on Brea Canyon Rd. had anything to do
with the proposed development project in that neighborhood.
ACM/Belanger stated that all discussion related to that
property could not have, at that time, been related to any
development project because there was no development project
before the City that would have impacted that kind of
discussion.
Martha Bruske, 600 S. Great Bend Dr., complained about the
amount of illegal fireworks set off in her neighborhood and
suggested that the City remind citizens that fireworks are
illegal next year.
ACM/Belanger stated that Chief Lee reported that there were no
fires attributed to the use of illegal fireworks. However,
the City will be posting large firework prohibition signs in
the future on major entrances into town.

7.2 SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM NEEDS IN THE COUNTRY - ICE/Wentz
reported that the City's contractor, Kleinfelder,
indicated a need to place an underground sanitary sewer
system for 149 lots within "The Country." A feasibility
study is needed to provide alternatives for sewer
construction, location of necessary pumping stations and
costs. He recommended 1) a feasibility study be
completed prior to construction of a sewer district; 2)
determine the level of support for a sanitary sewer
district within the area and 3) upon completion of the
study, schedule a meeting with affected residents to
discuss funding, obligations and assessments related to
such a district. He estimated that the cost of the study
would be approximately $20,000 and should be completed in
approximately 30 to 40 days.
ACM/Belanger stated that staff would prepare a Request
For Proposal (RFP) for distribution to firms with
expertise in evaluating these kinds of systems.
Proposals would then be reviewed by staff with a
recommendation made to the City Council. If an
assessment district is formed, the costs of the study
would be recaptured as part of the miscellaneous costs
attributed to the district. He further recommended that
$20,000 be appropriated from Unappropriated Reserves in
the General Fund.
CA/Arczynski explained that there are six or seven
different kinds of financing mechanisms available;
however, typically, approval by 50% to 60% of the
affected properties is needed. The feasibility study
would recommend which financing method would be most
appropriate.
Mayor/Kim opened the meeting for public testimony.
Jack Nelson, 23656 Falcon View Dr., noted that it may be
difficult to get 50% to 60% of the 150 homeowners to
agree to sewers because only those properties on the
lower elevations are affected by seepage from upper lots.
He suggested using the L.A. County Health Department's
method of imposing it upon the community.
With no further testimony offered, M/Kim closed the
meeting for public testimony.
In response to C/Werner's inquiry into what other methods
are available to enact a district, CA/Arczynski explained
that the feasibility study would also identify the
financial implication of such a district and methods for
accomplishment.
It was moved by C/Miller, seconded by C/Forbing to
approve funding for the feasibility study, direct staff
to move forward as expeditiously as possible and hold a

8. NEW BUSINESS:
8.1 AGREEMENT FOR USE OF FACILITIES WITH WALNUT VALLEY
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT - ACM/Belanger reported that this
agreement would set forth terms and conditions under
which the City would use WVUSD facilities for a variety
of City recreation programs.
Al Rumpila, 23958 Golden Springs Dr., asked whether the
same agreement would be made with the Pomona Unified
School District.
ACM/Belanger explained that staff is negotiating with
PUSD staff for a similar type of agreement, which will be
brought before the Council at the second meeting in
August.
It was moved by C/Werner, seconded by C/Miller to approve
the agreement for use of facilities with the Walnut
Valley Unified School District and authorize the Mayor to
execute the agreement.

for the Regional Transportation Authority to construct a
roadway or assure that if it is constructed, it is done
under our conditions.
James Roberts, a geology student at Cal Poly Pomona,
stated that those in power are destroying the land and
killing the fauna for so-called progress. He stated that
he is asking the City Council to give equal rights to not
just people, but nature as well, and to respect his
future and the future of our children.
Gary Neely, 344 Canoe Cove Dr., stated his support of the
transportation corridor through Tonner Canyon. He
submitted copies of Table 3-4, the City's Existing and
Estimated Future Average Daily Traffic and Table 3-5,
Future Average Daily Traffic volume to Capacity Ratios
for Selected Arterials, with and without Soquel
Canyon/Tonner Canyon extensions, which was taken out of
the document by the Planning Commission, and noted that
the information in the Tables indicate that a Tonner
Canyon roadway is necessary. It can be built as an
environmentally sensitive roadway.
Todd Chavers, Traffic & Transportation Commissioner,
stated that the document now before the Council was
condensed to a point that is not representative of the
effort that went into it. He indicated that he is
neither for or against a Tonner Canyon facility, but
would hope that what comes out of the General Plan is a
balance. Since Grand Ave. will not be improved over its
existing condition, then the question becomes how much
worse will we allow Grand Ave. to become and the price we
are willing to pay economically, environmentally and
socially to mitigate the worsening on Grand Ave. at the
expense of using another resource. The option of a
Tonner Canyon Transportation corridor must be maintained
in the General Plan.
Max Maxwell, 3211 Bent Twig Ln., stated that the City is
not working to control development, as indicated in the
document, but rather to increase development and that the
City should work with CalTrans to improve the freeway
system. He suggested development of a permit system to
allow exiting the freeway into Diamond Bar. He stated
that on Page 15 of the Grand Ave. agreement, there is
indication of Diamond Bar's desire to put a roadway in
Tonner Canyon and develop an assessment district.
ACM/Belanger stated that the City has been working with
CalTrans District #7 for the past 3 years to find a
design solution for the interchange, hopefully by the end
of 1992. Recently, the four Counties, the three corner
cities, the four transportation agencies and the three
CalTrans Districts have met to develop a transportation
study to review the multiplicity of impacts being created
JULY 7, 1992 PAGE 10
by development throughout the region. Diamond Bar will
have a consultant do a feasibility study addressing a
variety of impacts beyond the freeway, the kinds of
solutions available, today and in the future, as well as
evaluate the variety of transportation modes that can be
implemented.
CA/Arczynski explained that there is no provision in
State law or the Constitution that would authorize the
City or any City to charge people to exit the freeway to
come here since they are public roads. Toll ways, now
presently under construction, require special legislation
to get around legal restraints. In regard to the Grand
Ave. agreement, the provisions discussed are nebulous
because, at the time they were executed, there were no
particular plans for a Tonner Canyon road other than a
highly conceptual plan. The idea of the provision was to
work cooperatively with the County of San Bernardino to
look at Tonner Canyon road as a feasible alternative, and
possibly levy an assessment on the properties adjacent to
that road, particularly and including, the Chino Hills
area.
Don Schad apologized to the Council for his previous
error in interpreting Vision document regarding Brea
Canyon and its sphere of influence. He requested that a
provision of "No Hunting" be added to the General Plan
pertaining to firearms and archery. He stated that the
ecological damage to Tonner Canyon from a roadway will be
permanent.
Kim Chapman, 22713 Happy Hollow Dr., representing
students and parents of Neil Armstrong Elementary, stated
that they support keeping Sunset Crossing and Beaverhead
Dr. as a cul-de-sac because it would negatively impact
the neighborhood.
Ken Anderson, 2628 Rising Star Dr., noting that the
intersection of Shadow Canyon is proposed to get a
traffic signal, stated that he is opposed to that
intersection receiving a traffic signal before the
intersection of Diamond Bar Blvd. and Fountain Springs,
which has had more accidents in the past year than Shadow
Canyon.
Clair Harmony stated that the City should not allow the
"trade-off" of neighborhoods, such as Sunset Crossing,
for development. He suggested that Tonner Canyon not be
given away to get a quick fix for transit problems.
ACM/Belanger stated that, as City Manager, he does not
recall any conversation with anyone regarding a "trade-
off" of Sunset Crossing, or any other street, for
development rights or for some other purpose.

Mr. Harmony stated that he heard such discussion

and Of

Transportation Commission.
C/Miller pointed out that, since city government is in
the business of long-range planning, many ideas are

General Plan. The Planning Commission recommended a classif-
ication of RLM which would allow 6 units per acre maximum.
The property has a variety of restrictions on it and at this
time there is no proposed development.
In regard to the designation for Tonner Canyon, CDD/DeStefano
stated that Council previously discussed an agricultural
designation and that the Council may have requested a future
specific plan on the property. He then asked for clarifi-
cation toward correcting the language in the Plan as to the
Council's desire for a specific plan or whether they wished to
retain the present language which does not precisely specify
a future specific plan. It is, however, referenced in another
part of the document but there is no specific reference to an
agricultural designation for Tonner Canyon.
MPT/Papen asked if the Stone property was originally one lot
or if the ten acres plus the single family residence were
remnant property bought in addition to the residence.
CDD/DeStefano stated that the 10 acres were purchased as part
of the purchase of the single family home.
C/Miller stated that the Stone property is encumbered with
deed restrictions and that prior to any development on the
property, the owner would have to obtain support from
two-thirds of the community that he is a part of.
CDD/DeStefano stated that this is a complicated piece of
property to develop due to the easements across the property,
in addition to significant storm drain issues and noise and
traffic issues that would be generated due to the intersection
where it is located.
CA/Arczynski stated that the City would not be able to remove
the deed restrictions; that it would be up to the rest of the
community in which the property is located.
M/Kim opened the Public Hearing.
Tom Van Winkle, resident, requested that the Council continue
consideration of the General Plan for 45 days in order to give
the public an opportunity to fully review and comment.
CA/Arczynski stated that the document needs to be approved and
sent to the State by the middle of August and that the City
cannot delay approval for 45 days without State permission.
He pointed out that the General Plan may be amended up to four
times annually to address specific concerns.
Ron Hockwalt, Superintendent of the Walnut Valley Unified
School District, presented Council with a letter from the
School Board requesting that the Public Service and Facilities
JUNE 14, 1992 PAGE 3
Element address schools more extensively and specifically.
Their request included the following: In Section D, under
Goals, Objectives and Implementation Strategies, Item 1.3, be
expanded with an additional Strategy 1.3.3. to indicate that
future residential development would be linked directly to the
availability of local educational facilities, i.e., schools.
This request is based on the fact that schools are already
overcrowded. The second request was that Site D not be
designated as a proposed school site and that the General Plan
designate property on the basis of actual use or on its
highest and best use and not merely ownership.
CA/Arczynski stated that wording presented by Mr. Hockwalt had
been previously forwarded to staff for use by the Planning
Commission's review of the draft General Plan. At that time,
it had been recommended that that type of language not be
included in the General Plan and that the provisions that
currently exist in State law in regard to school funding are
likely to be adequate, particularly in regard to the fact that
the growth inducing impact of this document does not appear to
substantially generate new numbers of school children
assuming build -out of the proposed General Plan.
In response to M/Kim's request for clarification, Mr. Hockwalt
indicated that the School Board is requesting that Site D be
designated either residential or commercial zoning.
Don Schad, 1824 Shaded Wood Rd., spoke in favor of keeping
Tonner Canyon in its natural state and allowing the Boy Scouts
develop the land for youth activities. He further asked that
the Council consider allowing the original GPAC to come
together to review and evaluate the Plan. He expressed
opposition to the 1 unit per acre use of undeveloped land and
that the GPAC had specified 1 unit per 2.5 acres.
Wilbur Smith, 21630 Fairwind Ln., stated that the General
Plan that had been sent out to all residences in the City was
not the same that came before the Council. He further
requested that Council review the document to make sure that
the wording in the Land Use and Resource Management segments
is consistent with that of the EIR and the Master
Environmental document.
C/Miller indicated to Mr. Smith that the document he received
was an overview of the Plan at the time of mailing and that it
would be impossible to mail out the entire General Plan. He
further stated that there is an obligation by the public to
attend Public Hearings if they wish to have input.
Anne Burke, 612 Chaparral, felt that the Summary General Plan
did not given citizens adequate information and that residents
need further time to review the draft document being
considered by the Council. She asked what the Council was
JUNE 14, 1992
PAGE 4
doing to support business to locate and stain the City; what
incentive programs are there; why build homes in Tonner Canyon
that cant pay their own way,
City's financial well bein and dont contribute to the
int
out that these homes can't pay their and h ownoes waythe in neuncil breathoand
recommend their construction in the next.
William Gross, 21637 Highbluff, requested the Council to
extend the review period until residents have had time to
review the final draft. He chastised the Council for what he
felt was a lack of consideration for the public's input.
Max Maxwell, 3211 Bent Twig Ln., stated that if residents are
opposed to any item in the Plan, they are entitled to seek
legal remedies and indicated areas in which he considered that
discrepancies exist.
CA/Arczynski stated that the document referred to by Mr.
Maxwell is the Environmental Impact Report that by law is
required to address a variety of alternative development
proposals from a "no project" alternative to the "worse case"
Possible alternative so that it can develop information to the
Council and Planning Commission, etc. to determine what would
occur with regard to various types of potential a
what different approaches this document could take; ovals howevean
rait is irrelevant to what is in the General Plan.
Dan Buffington, 2605 Indian Creek, commended the Council on
dealing with the public abuse that they have received over the
last few weeks and pointed out that while he does not agree
with everything that is in the Plan, on the whole, it is
balanced and therefore should be adopted.
With no further testimony offered

RECESS: M/Kim recessed the meeting at 8:50 p.m.
RECONVENED: M/Kim reconvened the meeting at 9:05 p.m.
2.1 DRAFT GENERAL PLAN (Cont'd.) - Following discussion,
Council made the following changes:
Under Land Use, Page I-13, 1.2.6 strike "require" and replace
with "When possible encourage developments..."
On Page I-21, Item 3.4.2 strike "Require that existing." The
sentence should read "Promote incorporation of hillside
features into project designs."
MPT/Papen expressed concern over the lack of clear definition
of churches in the Land Use Element based on the fact that
many churches use either commercial or school facilities on a
JUNE 14, 1992

temporary basis or share facilities with another congregation.
She asked that the Tres Hermanos Specific Plan include an
allocation for churches.
CDD/DeStefano stated that Page I-16, Objective 1.6.4 discusses
the formulation of a specific plan for Tres Hermanos. The
statement "Such facilities may include a high school and other
educational institutions..." can be altered to include
churches.
On Page II -4, Table II -1, numbers under "City of D.B." and
"City Percent" do not correspond with Page II -3, paragraph 2
under Housing Stock Condition. Other references indicate that
the City has 12,589 single family residences, or 71.3%, yet
the table shows 87%.
Mr. Zola stated that the correct numbers for Table II -1 are:
12,589 single family, 4,784 Multiple Units and 294 Mobile
Homes, for a total of 17,664. He further stated that
corresponding changes should be made in the Land Use Element,
Pages I-1 and I-3.1.
On Page II -15, first sentence, strike the second occurrence of
"by. Of
On Page III -3, Parks and Recreation, add "Chino Hill State

On Page III -9, Objective 1.2, change to read "Where

On Page III -10, Item 1.2.3, change to read "In conjunction
with local schools and volunteers, the City may partici ate in

On Page III -11, Item 1.3.1 change the seventh bullet to
"Pursue protection of environmentally significant areas."
Remove the last bullet entirely.
On Page III -12, Item 1.3.71 change the rate to 3.0 - 5.0
acres. Strive to provide neighborhood and community park
facilities such that a rate of 5.0 acres per parkland is
ultimately achieved.
On Page III -13, Item 2.1.2, change the second bullet to read
"flush valve operated water closets which minimize water
usage."
On Page V-19, Table V-6, change Roadway Improvement Stds.
(ft.) for Diamond Bar Blvd. from 80 to 100.
JUNE 14, 1992 PAGE 6
M/Kim re -opened the Public Hearing.
There being no testimony offered, M/Kim closed the Public
Hearing.
CDD/DeStefano stated that the Council may wish to discuss the
following:
On Page I-16, Strategy 1.6.3, include a statement "See also
Section 1.1.9 of the Circulation Element" referring to the
transportation corridor.
Section 1.1.9, Circulation Element, perhaps add a statement
"See also 1.6.3 of the Land Use Element."
On Page I-12, at the end of 1.1.9, add "See also 1.6.3."
Following discussion, the Council agreed to follow the
Planning Commission's recommendations for designation of the
Marlboro and Stone properties.
On Page III -4, Table III -1, Local Recreational Facilities,
change to indicate that Heritage Park has a half court
basketball facility, Paul Grow has no basketball court and
Ronald Reagan has a lighted basketball court.
Mr. Schad suggested water convection for usage in new
developments.
On Page V-16, paragraph 1, update numbers based on the final
adopted Land Use Map.
Following discussion and consensus of the Council to
incorporate the changes recommended by CDD/DeStefano as well
as those changes suggested by the Council itself, C/Miller
moved, C/Werner seconded to adopt Resolution No. 92-43
entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

Attorney Andrew V. Arczynski; Community Development Director
James DeStefano; Associate Engineer David Liu; Parks &
Recreation Director Bob Rose and City Clerk Lynda Burgess.
3. COUNCIL COMMENTS: C/Forbing expressed his sorrow at the
recent passing of Mr. Everett Howard. Mr. Howard had been
very involved with the D.B. Homeowner's Association and had
gathered 1,000 signatures during the 1983 City Incorporation
drive.
MPT/Papen requested that the meeting be adjourned in memory of
Mr. Howard. She expressed concern over a recent Highlander
Newspaper Editorial regarding filling of a vacancy on the
Council, if such vacancy should occur. She asked that either
the City Attorney or City Manager respond to the editorial.
CA/Arczynski stated that the Council is not in the position to
call for an election or start the process of filling a vacancy
until there is a vacancy.
4. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Red Calkins, 240 Eagle Nest Dr.,
spoke regarding an incident that occurred on July 4 involving
Planning Commissioner Michael Li and requested that Mr. Li be
removed from the Commission.
Al Rumpilla, 23958 Golden Springs Dr., also requested that
M/Kim remove Planning Commissioner Michael Li due to the
incident on July 4. He further requested that either the City
or Commissioner Li reimburse the store employee for lost wages
resulting from the incident.
CA/Arczynski stated that the employee's father had corres-
ponded with the newspapers and the City Attorney's office.
However, without conducting a review and presenting it to the
Council, he has been able to respond to the allegations. The
story published by the newspapers is based on one side. In
regard to paying someone's salary, that would be an issue to
be discussed by the employee and his employer. The City did

AA/Fritzal indicated that staff will place, on the
July agenda, the list of concerns, brought up by
the Commission, at the November, 1991 meeting,
regarding the senior citizen's subcommittee.
AA/Fritzal stated that the Senior Citizens come
yearly request, a $1,000 grant for insurance and
facility rental. This year, City Council applied
for, a CDBG Grant, for the seniors, to cover this
cost. The money has been granted, therefore,
funding will no longer come out of the Parks and
Recreation Department.
VC/Plunk suggested that there be an At -Risk -Child
Program, under Programming, to provide
scholarships, for those in need, for sports
programs in the City. She requested staff to
contact Kathy Wilson, who has volunteered to help
on the Anniversary Celebration. She requested an
update on the City Tree issue.
AA/Fritzal stated that the Oak as a City Tree will
be going to the City Council this Tuesday. It is
felt that the designation of the oak tree, as the
City tree, is symbolic of the Councils commitment
to the preservation of all trees. The
recommendation will not have any enforcement
procedures attached to it.
C/Medina suggested that the Anniversary Program
include a cultural presentation of different
societies and organizations. Schools and dance
studios could be invited to perform during the
celebration. This may help to increase attendance
of the Anniversary Celebration.
AA/Fritzal stated that staff will be contacting
organizations to determine the funding source of
the Anniversary Celebration, and will begin
planning around October for a multi -cultural event,
as so recommended by the Commission.
Chair/Ruzicka noted that if there are multi-
cultural groups willing to back this event, there
may also be a sufficient number of people willing
to plan a 5K or 10K run.
VC/Plunk stated that Kathy Wilson, with the U.S.
Olympic Committee, and the L.A. Marathon, is
interested in conducting a 5k and 10k run.

NEW BUSINESS:
Eagle Scout Chair/Ruzicka stated that Life Scout, Patrick
Project Zubiate, has requested permission, for an Eagle
Request Scout Project, to place signs along the trail of
Sycamore Canyon Park.
PRD/Rose stated that Patrick Zubiate was unable to
attend tonight's meeting because of a choir tour
scheduled during the summer. Apparently the Eagle
Scouts have a very elaborate approval process for
their projects, and Patrick Zubiate felt that it
would enhance the chances of his project if it were
first approved by the Commission. Patrick is
interested in placing signs along the trail in
Sycamore Canyon Park to identify the different
flora and fauna. The sign will be approximately
eight by eight inches, and would be mounted on
posts three feet tall. He is interested in
completing the project by the end of this summer.
Park Superintendent Don Hinsley will be supervising
the project.
VC/Plunk suggested that there be a Memorandum Of
Understanding (MOU), indicating that he will be
working with PRD/Rose, in case there are any
questions in the future.
Motion was made by VC/Plunk, seconded by C/Medina
and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to approve Patrick
Zubiate's Eagle Scout project, to be accompanied by
a MOU that he will be working with City staff in
completing the project.
INFORMATIONAL
ITEMS:
Recreation PRD/Rose presented the staff report regarding the
Program Recreation Program Update, dated June 19, 1992.
Update This is the first week of the recreation program,

PRD/Rose further reported that the User Group
meeting was held, and the facilities have been
allocated for the period of July 1 to December 31,
1992. There were nine groups represented at the
meeting, and all were very cooperative. He also
reported that, for the Commission's i sf rm than
ion
regarding the Youth Baseball Program, arenas
taken a rather firm approach of denying p
requesting trades, transfers, or movements of
players to other teams, to avoid manipulation of
winning teams. If the parents feel too
inconvenienced, their money can be refunded.

group organizational meeting, inquired what staff
found out regarding the concern of protecting the
City, if a volunteer gets hurt, without
emasculating the rights of the volunteers.
AA/Fritzal stated that staff is still in the
process of investigating this issue.
vC/Plunk suggested that the Liability/Insurance
section be rewritten so that the laymen could
better understand it.
Motion was made by vC/Plunk, seconded by C/Medina
and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to recommend to the City
Council approval of the Adopt -A -Park Program.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Commission VC/Plunk thanked staff for taking her on a tour of
the parks. She requested that the active sports
group waiver be reviewed because it is too broad
and general, making it difficult to understand.

reviewing the Resource Management Element on June

located near the northwest Torito Lane and Golden
Springs Avenue. Because of its coincidence with
the General Plan, the applicant, Diamond
Development Co, a California Limited Partnership,
has requested a continuance to the next public
hearing of June 22, 1992.
AP/Searcy, in response to a series of Commission
inquiries, stated that the plans circulated January
of 1992 have not been revised, and that a
preparation of the perspective of different views
and surrounding buildings, have not been received
by staff at this time.
C/Grothe stated that since the Commission had
requested modification to the project, and those
modifications have not yet been submitted, then the
project is not complete and should not be before
the Commission. The matter should be taken off
calendar until it is deemed complete.
Chair/Flamenbaum requested staff to include a copy
of the Minutes of January 1992, in the Commission
package, should the Commission grant the
continuance.
C/Li informed staff that he has not received a full
package regarding the project.
CD/DeStefano stated that it is staff's
recommendation that the Commission continue the
item to June 22nd, as requested by the applicant.
If the applicant has not provided the information
at that time, then staff will suggest an
alternative date.
Chair/Flamenbaum pointed out that only two of the
Commissioners have reviewed the entire plan
package.
The Public Hearing was declared open.
Don Gravdahl suggested that, since there are people
in the audience that had anticipated a hearing on
this project tonight, everything should be in hand
before scheduling another public hearing.
Continuing a project tends to diminish the
attendance of those people wishing to speak on that
project.
Red Calkins, residing at 240 Eagle Nest Dr.,
inquired why another senior citizens complex is
being built in Diamond Bar when the Heritage
Complex for Senior Citizens, near Oak Tree Lanes,
June 8, 1992 Page 3
has never even been filled to capacity.
Furthermore, it seems this project will also have
the same problem with inadequate parking spaces as
the existing complex.
Gary Neely, residing at 344 Canoe Cove, opposing
the project, stated that it would be unconscionable
to put a residential development on that particular
piece of property. It is dangerous to add more
cars on a street that is already seriously
congested with traffic. The site should be kept
zoned as Commercial.
The Public Hearing was declared closed.
Chair/Flamenbaum stated that it may be appropriate
to renotice the public hearing to assure attendance
of those that may wish to speak on the project.
C/Meyer suggested that, since the project is to be
renoticed, and the applicant still has further
information to submit to staff, the public hearing,
with the exception of the Tract Map, should be
continued to a date certain that would go beyond
June 22nd.
DCA/Curley stated it would be appropriate to have
the developers consent to any extension beyond the
requested date. It is recommended that it be
continued to the next meeting, use that time to
determine if the package is complete, and then use
the next meeting to develop a timeline as to what
is required for further information.
C/Meyer inquired if the application could be split
to continue the Tract Map to June 22nd and the rest
of the application to a more reasonable time frame.
CD/DeStefano stated that, since the applicant is
not present, it is staff's recommendation that the
matter be continued to the date requested. If the
materials are not satisfactorily presented at the
June 22nd meeting, then the Commission can continue
the project to some other date. The project can be
renoticed for June 22nd, to see if it generates any
new input, and then dealt with at that time.
Motion was made by C/Meyer, seconded by VC/MacBride
and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to continue the matter to
the June 22, 1992 meeting.
C/Meyer, noting that the application itself is
incomplete, and that it is not a simple
application, suggested that the applicant meet with

significant long term revenue to the land owner,
and improve both the revenue and the quality of
life for the City of Diamond Bar. Associated with
this objective was the following: ascertain the
priorities and requirements of the constituencies;
staff beforehand to identify some of the major
issues.
C/Grothe requested staff to gather statistical
information on the other senior citizen complex,

contracted with a team of consultants, headed by
the firm of Kotin, Regan, and Mouchly, in late
1991, to prepare a conceptual land use plan for the
800 acre Tres Hermanos Ranch property. The two
principle land uses identified, at that time, for
inclusion within the project area, were a new High
School site for the Pomona Unified School District,
and a reservoir, for the City of Industry, for the
purposes of reclaimed water. The consultant team
will give a presentation on the Tres Hermanos
conceptual plan. The results of the presentation
will be part of the final report, prepared by the
consultant team, to be presented to the City

Mike Rust reviewed the topographic and slope
considerations, considering the opportunities and
constraints of the property. He stated the
following: within the 829 acres are 14 acres of
existing streets; there is a Metropolitan Water

the property comprising about 8.2 acres; there is a
tunnel easement for the elevations of 950 to 1050;

property on the southside and the eastside; there
are overhead powerlines on the south side and the
east side of the boundaries; and there is the
Walnut Valley reservoir. He then briefly reviewed
the slope analysis, as indicated in the topographic
map obtained from the Pomona Unified School
District.
Lisa Picard reviewed the biological resources and
environmental characteristics of the site. She
stated the following: There is a wide diversity of
plant and animal species existing on site; patches
of native vegetation remain, especially in areas
not accessible to cattle, found primarily north of
the major ridgeline; regionally, its biological
significance is located in the northern end of the
Tonner Canyon drainage area; the sensitive habitat,
which supports sensitive, endangered, or threatened
species, are coastal sage scrub, southern oak,
sycamore, and woodlands; traversing through the
habitat areas are the habitat linkage, which are
those areas that have the potential to facilitate
the movement of wildlife; and there is a natural
spring located in the northeast portion of the
site, east of Chino Hills Parkway. The following
are some development considerations to maintain
that biological integrity: Development should not
fragment the open space; it should remain
contiguous with designated off site open space
areas; there should be a clustering of development;
and there should be a buffering of habitat linkage
areas from intensities of development.

Mike Rust explained that the Tres Hermanos property
has been a subject of study by Boyle Engineering,
as requested by the City of Industry to look at the
feasibility of water reservoir sites that could be
developed on the property. After analyzing the
various sites, Boyle Engineering concluded that,
for an optimum surface water reservoir for this
location, the reservoir should be confined south of
Grand Avenue. The MWD will be studying the area,
in the future, for a potable water reservoir.
Lisa Picard briefly addressed the health and safety
hazards associated with a reclaimed water facility,
which the City of Industry does currently plan for
the site. She stated there are three basic
designations given to reclaimed water, which is
determined by the degree of treatment and level of
adequate disinfection: a non -restricted
impoundment, which has no limitations on body
contact; a restricted impoundment, which limits the
activities to fishing, boating, and other non body
contacts; and landscape impoundments, which is for
aesthetic enjoyment only. The County Sanitation
District stated that the reclaimed water, leaving
the San Jose Creek water reclamation plant, which
would service the site, could be used for non
restrictive recreational impoundment.
James Regan explained that one of the constraints
in developing the conceptual plan was that the City
of Industry has indicated that they did not have
near term plans to develop this property for urban
uses, other than a desire to develop a reclaimed
water reservoir. This desire effects the potential
uses of the property. Upon studying the
conventional urban uses, as well as the
unconventional uses, the following was determined:
there would be no possible way to have regular
fluctuation leading to some recreational use
because of the shape and depth of the reservoir; no
potential for major educational use; no potential
for a major entertainment attraction use; there is
poor visibility from the freeway; there is limited
market for major regional spending attraction; the
location of the high school also precludes
developing a major retail window; and a research
park is not feasible because it should be in
proximity to a major University base.
Jim Goodell stated that a large number of
alternatives was developed, however, we will review
two or three of the basic alternative uses of the
site that are viable, given the market and the site
constraints. He stated that it was ascertained
June 8, 1992 page 7
that this site would require an addition of an
elementary school, in addition to the proposed
Pantera facility.
Peter Kramnitzer lead the audience through a number
of slides to explain the development of the
thinking that lead to the three alternative land
use plans. The reservoir could be used as the
major focal point of the development. It could be
located three different ways: as a 142 acre lake,
with a 10,000 acre feet capacity, which would be
the least expensive way to create the lake because
of the elevations surrounding the area; as two
different lakes, one higher than the other one, and
one featured for more recreation than the other;
and as one reservoir, utilizing the other valley
for residential mixed use. He reviewed the three
alternative land use plans:
Plan A - The reservoir could be used for
recreational purposes. There would be a mixed use
areas consisting of retail, cafes, restaurant,
apartments and a water front development. There
would be single family residents that would have
direct water frontage. There would also be a
hotel, a 64 acre school site, multi -residential
developments, and a golf course, leading into other
parks and developed along the ridges. However,
there would be no structures on the ridelines.
There would be a very modest commercial area, and
perhaps stables, at the entry of the freeway.
Plan B - This plan shows two different reservoirs.
It is very similar to the first plan.
Plan C - This plan has one reservoir, with the
other area reserved for a mixed used development,
and a residential development.
He reviewed the conventional method of developing
sloped areas, and compared it with the hillside
traditional development method. The traditional
method has narrower streets, modest setbacks from
the street, pockets used for guest parking, and
there is less grading of the hillsides.
James Regan stated that one of their objectives was
to assess the probable fiscal impacts of this
conceptual plan. The property, which is unique in
its size, location, topography, the slope, MWD
line, and the canyon area, is difficult to come up
with a major use not now in existence in the market
place that would consume the majority of the
property. The characteristics of the property is
June 8, 1992 Page 8
such that it is very difficult to accommodate large
scale uses that will house, on a temporary basis,
large volumes of people, such as a major campus, or
a theme park, because of its sloped areas. At the
same time, a large portion of the relatively
developable portion of the property is taken up by
a reservoir. Therefore, the idea of using the
water resource, as the focus of the development,
was used. The water feature affordshe
development of something that is revenue posit
to the City. Scheme A generates a positive fiscal
of close to 500 million
revenue, to the City,
dollars. Scheme B generates a comparable n rate va
fiscal revenue. Scheme C does not because of
comparable revenue to the City primarily
the loss of those elements that generate positive
tax dollars to the City.
Peter Kramnitzer, in response to Chair/ Flam
inquiry, stated that scheme A is the preferred
plan. In response to vC/MacBride, he stated that
schemes A,B, or C are not antagonistic to the MWD
fee and easement holdings. The northeast corner
will not be developed because of the MWD's right of
way, and the native growth from the spring.
Lisa Picard, in response to vC/MacBride's inquiry
if the plans are sympathetic to the biological
movements, stated that the schemes respects the
biology of the site and the intensity of that one
valley on the northeast side of Pomona Peak.
C/Li inquired why reclaimed water is
being
recommended, on site, for this particular
reservoir, instead of potable water. He pointed
out that reclaimed water is sewage.
James Regan explained that when they started the
process, the City of Industry was alreadyo property
process of planning a reservoir for this p p Y•
They are interested in both the potable reservoir
and the reclaimed water reservoir to balance off
the needs of their customers. However, the MWD is
not interested in a potable water reservoir that is
this small for this site. He pointed out that they
were only asked to do a conceptual plan given the
constraints of the area.
Lisa Picard stated that they can provide the data,
regarding the safety of reclaimed water, to the
Commission, if so desired.
June 8, 1992 Page 9
C/Meyer inquired if the consultants report will
include the information on how the other
development scenarios dropped out.
James Regan stated that the results will be
presented to staff, which will include the market
investigation, and the physical investigation. In
response to C/Grothe, the High School site may move
towards the parkway, depending upon the Pomona
School District's investigation of the site.
Therefore, it would not dramatically alter the plan
other than that it would shift over to the west.
Chair/Flamenbaum recessed the meeting at 9:15 p.m.
The meeting was reconvened at 9:30 p.m.
The Public Hearing was declared open.
Sue Sisk, residing at 1087 Flintlock, inquired if
the consultants developed ways to minimize the
costs to bring the infrastructures into the area.
James Regan explained that it did not seem that
there would be a typically high or out of the
ordinary site development costs, with the exception
of the water feature.
Gary Neely, 344 Canoe Cove, stated his concern that
the location of the Tonner Canyon Road was not
taken into consideration. He stated that he would
not dismiss the possibility of having a higher
education facility. He congratulated the
contractors on the work they have done.
Sue Sisk, concerned with traffic congestion,
inquired why a single family residential
development is being proposed by the High School.
James Goodell explained that the idea was to have
as many houses fronting the water as possible.
They thought it better to have the High School
adjacent to the residential neighborhood, as
Opposed to having it isolated from the rest of the
community. It would be a very low density
development with plenty of parking for the High
School.
Richard Ide, residing at 1624 Range Court, inquired
if having a reclaimed water reservoir by a potable
reservoir is acceptable to the MWD, taken into
consideration a possible flooding, whereas the
reclaimed water may run off into the potable water
and ruin it. He also inquired when there will be
June S, 1992 Page 10
information regarding the location of the Tonner
Canyon Road.
Mike Rust stated that he is unsure if that concern
was addressed by the scheme. There would probably
and
have to be some separation between the two,
have some sort of containment area below that would
separate the two.
Chair/Flamenbaum, in regards to the location
of the
of the
Tonner Canyon Road, explained that, as p
General Plan discussion, the Commission indicated
that a transportation corridor is appropriate
through Tonner Canyon. The location of Chir °h adds
predicated by the specific plan,
perspective land owners would have to develop.
The Public Hearing was declared closed.

PUBLIC HEARING: PT/Lungu presented the staff report regarding a
request, from applicant William A. Stiegler, for a
Variance Variance to approve an existing six (6) foot high
No. 92-1 wrought iron fence with pilasters within the twenty
(20) foot front yard setback, over the allowable
height of forty-two (42) inches. The proposed
project is located within "The Country" at 2621
Indian Creek Road (Lot 8, Tract 23483). There are
three issues that need to be addressed pertaining
to this project. The first issue concerns the fact
that the existing fence has been constructed within
the twenty (20) foot front yard setback and exceeds
a height of forty two (42) inches. The second
issue is determining if it was necessary to
construct the fencing as it exists or if it could
have been placed behind the twenty (20) foot front
yard setback. The third issue is determining
whether the fencing is aesthetically compatible
with the area. Staff recommended that the Planning
Commission approve Variance No. 92-1 with the
following conditions and Findings of Fact attached
to the staff report.
C/Meyer inquired why this particular project is
before the Commission since there are other such
similar fences located in "The Country".
PT/Lungu explained that it began as a code
enforcement issue. It is before the Commission as
a request for a Variance to permit modification of
the development standards because the topography of
the site makes it difficult to enforce the Code
setback and height requirements.

PUBLIC HEARING: PT/Lungu presented the staff report regarding a
request, from applicant William A. Stiegler, for a
Variance Variance to approve an existing six (6) foot high
No. 92-1 wrought iron fence with pilasters within the twenty
(20) foot front yard setback, over the allowable
height of forty-two (42) inches. The proposed
project is located within "The Country" at 2621

PT/Lungu explained that it began as a code

a request for a Variance to permit modification of
the development standards because the topography of
the site makes it difficult to enforce the Code
setback and height requirements.
June 22, 1992 Page 2
C/Meyer inquired if the City issues building
permits for fences.
PT/Lungu stated that building permits are not
issued for fences six (6) feet or less, and it is
not a retaining wall.
William Stiegler, residing at 8724 E. Garvey Ave.,
Rosemead, the applicant, stated that this matter
was brought up because of an inspector, who was in
the area regarding an unrelated matter, noted the
fence. Mr. Stiegler submitted an affidavit, from
two neighbors across the street from the indicated
property, stating that they are in favor of the
fence. He explained that the fence has been
installed for approximately one year.
The Public Hearing was declared opened.
The Public Hearing was declared closed.
C/Grothe indicated that, though the fence is
aesthetically suitable, he does not feel a variance
should be granted for a fence that is too tall, too
close to the street, and does not conform to the
zoning code. He suggested that there needs to be
modification to the development code.
C/Meyer stated that this type of fencing occurs in
that community, is consistent with the development
standards of that community, is acceptable to the
neighbors, and only violates a set of development
standards that may no longer be applicable to that
area. Instead of looking at it as an exception,
perhaps the development standards should be
reviewed. He recommended that the request be
continued, and staff be directed to develop some
sort of development standards, either through a
conditional use permit, or a modification of the
development standards for large lot subdivisions,
which would allow this development in certain
circumstances. The variance is the wrong tool for
this project.
C/Li concurred that the variance is an improper
tool. All fencing that violates the development
standards should be before the Commission, not just
one. He suggested that there should be a timeline
to determine at what point our standards come into
effect.
CD/DeStefano explained that code enforcement in
Diamond Bar is limited and works on a reactive
basis. If this case is a result of some sort of
June 2.2, 1992
Page 3
code enforcement activity, then we are obligated,
by the code, to get the proper permits. Staff
feels it is a righteous variance in terms of it
being a hardship for the applicant, the topography
of the site, and the safety issues. Staff
recommended that the Commission approve the
variance, eliminating the hardship for this
particular applicant, and then direct staff to
prepare a code amendment to bring back to the
Commission for consideration at the earliest date.
C/Meyer inquired how long it would take for staff
to develop new standards. He further inquired if
the present standards are antiquated as they're
applied to this particular zoning character.
CD/DeStefano responded that the standards are
antiquated in terms of their application to
hillside properties. It will probably take staff
six to eight weeks to gather up information from
other hillside communities with similar
circumstances, see how they are addressing the
problem, and then develop an ordinance, for the
Commissions consideration, that meets the desires
of our community. Staff recommends that the
variance approach is the appropriate tool for this
specific application. However, in terms of dealing
with the more broadly based issue, a change in code
is warranted.
Motion was made by C/Meyer, seconded by
Chair/Flamenbaum and CARRIED to approve Variance
92-1.

Commission, directed staff to prepare a code

CONTINUED Chair/Flamenbaum suggested that the Planning
PUBLIC HEARING: Commission may first wish to begin discussion on
the Zone Change issue.
TT Map No. 50519/
DA No. 91-3/ C/Meyer stated that since it is a comprehensive
DR No. 91-2/ project, perhaps the information submitted on the
Zone Change 91-1 entire project should be discussed, and then the
actions dealt with incrementally. The Commission
concurred.
June 22, 1992 Page 4
AP/Searcy presented the staff report regarding the
request from the applicant, Diamond Development
Company, to subdivide a 2.3 acre site, located at
23575 Golden Springs, into six (6) lots, to
construct an 80 unit Senior citizen project, to
change the zone classification from C-1 (Restricted
Business) to Zone R-4 (Unlimited Residence), and to
enter into a Development Agreement with the City.
He thoroughly reviewed the Application Analysis, as
indicated in the staff report. It is recommended
that the Planning Commission discuss the project,
and direct staff on Assues and project specifics.
Staff is supportive of multi -family residential
development at this location as well as senior
citizen housing as a specific land use. It is an
appropriate transitional use for this land. Staff
recommended that the development agreement,
incorporating the appropriate density bonus, be
drafted. However, staff can not support the
massive reduction in parking and potential problems
with the internal circulation within the parking
structure as proposed by the applicant.
Chair/Flamenbaum inquired if the traffic report has
been reviewed by the Traffic and Transportation
Commission (TTC).
AP/Searcy stated that it is staff's understanding
that the project went before the TTC nearly one
year ago.
Chair/ F lamenbaum, noting that the project presented
today has been revised from the one reviewed by the
TTC a year ago, suggested that it would be
appropriate to allow the TTC to review it again.
AP/Searcy informed the Commission that a
representative of Alfred Gobar and Associates is
available to discuss the Impact Analysis, if the
Commission so desires.
Al Marshall, residing at 4400 MacAurther Blvd.,
Newport Beach, representing Dr. Crowley, discussed
the need to provide for senior housing in Diamond
Bar. He made the following comments: many seniors
are looking for an alternative to their current
lifestyles, and desire to continue to live within
their community, on a fixed income; there is a hand
by hand cooperation, of City and private
enterprise, to keep housing affordable, usually in
the form of density bonuses; this project is
proposed in the $100,000 to the $160,000 range,
which allow seniors to sell their current home,
live on their fixed income, put additional fund
June 22, 1992 Page 5
money in bank, and continue to own their homes; the
parking ratio of this project is far greater than
the other 800 units he has developed, none of which
had a higher parking ratio of 1.08:1; there is a
sufficient number of guest parking outside of the
project; since the average age of the buyer is 72
years old, the ratio of cars actually owned is
considerable below the 1.08:1 ratio; and the design
of the project fits well in the surrounding area.
Chair/Flamenbaum informed Mr. Marshall that two of
the Commissioners present have never heard a
presentation on this project.
Al Marshall continued his presentation and made the
following comments regarding the proposed project:
it is 80 units consisting of 2 and 3 stories over
the parking structure, and 2 and 3 stories on grade
at the front; there will be 10 two bedroom units,
and 6 one bedroom units per building; the parking
and complex is secured; the homeowners association
will participate in running the recreational
facility; the age restriction is geared
specifically for adults; the majority of the
purchasers are, in most cases, elderly single
women; the number of parking spaces need only be
tied to the number of units, not bedrooms, because
seniors don't usually expand their family unit; and
it is 35 feet above grade.
C/Meyer stated that the Planning Commission has
already recommended, in the Land Use Element, that
this land be used for multi -family residential
zoning at 16DU/acre. Noting that the density bonus
is based on the availability of the units to low
and moderate income, he inquired if an individual
with a low to moderate income of $26,000/year can
afford to buy these units at $100,000 to $160,000.
Al Marshall stated that the density bonus is not
necessarily tied to just the income level, but the
restrictions on the property are taken in to
consideration as well.
Al Marshall made the following responses to
C/Meyer's inquiries: there is a lot of concrete,
however, the deck above will be landscaped with a
lot of planters; the biggest units are the best
sellers whereas the den is used as a study, and the
extra bedroom for visiting children; everything is
fully accessible, with stairways and 4 elevators;
the age is restricted through the CC&R's, the land
covenant, conditioned by the Conditional Use
Permit, and other trigger mechanisms that can be
June 22, 1992 Page 6
put in place; proof of age will be required to
purchase; one companion is allowed to occupy the
units that is at least 45 years of age; children
can only visit for a certain total number of
overnight stays per year, controlled by the HOA;
deciduous screening material will be used to
visually obscure the south westerly portion of the
site from the existing single family residences;
and a shadow analysis was not conducted on this
site.
C/Li advised the applicant to enter into this
development carefully because the seniors must be
considered and taken care of.
C/Grothe indicated that he has various concerns on
the project in general. However, at this point, he
stated that he is very concerned that he has not
yet received the elevation view of that project, as
to how the project fits into Diamond Bar Blvd. and
Torito Lane, and to the surrounding resident, as he
has requested numerous times.
Chair/Flamenbaum, in regards to page 8, in the
Summary and Conclusions of the Fiscal Impact
report, inquired how it was concluded that retail
development of the site will result in a negligible
net increase in retail sales tax revenues received
by the City.
Olance Gadreen, with Alfred Gobar Associates,
located at 721 Kimberly Ave., Placentia, stated
that the specifics supporting that statement is
located on page 17 and 18 of the report. Following
his summary of the Fiscal Impact Analysis, he
explained that if Diamond Bar limits retail
development to the 2.3 acres available on this
site, the City will get another duplication of the
convenience oriented type of retail operations,
which is already in over supply.
Chair/Flamenbaum stated that he does not concur
with the sudden transition that if the City
develops 2.3 acres of retail, the City will see a
negligible increase in retail sales tax.
Chair/Flamenbaum recessed the meeting at 8:43 p.m.
The meeting was reconvened at 9:00 p.m.
The Public Hearing was declared opened.
Red Calkins, residing at 240 Eaglenest Dr., stated
that at the time that he moved to Diamond Bar, it
was supposed to be a village type cluster of homes.
June 22, 1992 Page 7
He inquired if a traffic study was conducted. He
noted that Diamond Bar is over run by office
vacancies as it is.
Don Gravdahl, residing at 23988 Minnequa, made the
following comments: much of the lack of audience
may be due to the fact that the project has been
continued so often; there is not adequate available
parking spaces; a change of ownership could
generate more cars than first anticipated; 55 year
olds and 45 year olds often have more than one
vehicle; the TTC often review problems in which
residential areas are being impacted by the lack of
parking spaces in office buildings; and the effects
of these tall buildings on Diamond Bar should be
considered.
The Public Hearing was declared closed, to be
continued to a meeting yet to be determined.
C/Grothe stated that, though he is not opposed to a
zone change, he does not see any reason to continue
a project that is so far out of conformance.
C/Li stated that, though he is not opposed to the
project, he has a lot of doubts regarding the
density of the project, and would concur to
continue the matter.
C/Meyer made the following comments: density
bonuses does have a direct relationship to the
provision of units to low and moderate income, and
if the project does exceed the 37 dwelling units,
then some provision should be made for low to
moderate incomes; the TTC should review the site,
and the issues relative to on -street parking; on
site parking should be commensurate with the size
of the units and the number of bedrooms; there
needs to be a redesign of the project to provide
easy access to these units; the elderly are not
usually attracted to subterranean parking, and it
should be redesigned; the plans should show above
grade landscaping above the subterranean parking;
there needs to be an analysis of the potential
impacts on the surrounding land uses; on site
circulation plan is difficult to maneuver; the
visitor parking will probably be used by the
residents; the lot coverage is contrary to a lot of
the concepts, dealt with in the General Plan
review, regarding design standards, softening glare
of hardscape with landscaping efforts, reducing the
amount of impervious materials, etc.; the
recreational amenities are minimal and should be
redesigned to be the focal point to encourage group
June 22, 1992 page 8
type of activities; this development should comply
with the rest of the standards we would apply to
other condominium developments in the community;
the trash areas are inadequate; a public transit
facility should be made to provide use; an analysis
should be made of the site, it's impact of each of
the buildings internally, and external to the
project, to include a shades analysis; and an
Environmental Analysis should be done.
Motion was made by C/Grothe and seconded by C/Meyer
to deny the project, as submitted.
C/Grothe concurred with the statements made by
C/Meyer, and added that the number and size of the
parking spaces need to be increased, and there
should be recreational amenities for guests. He
recommended denying the project, and advising the
applicant to resubmit a redesign of the project, as
a new application.
Chair/Flamenbaum indicated that if the application
is denied, the applicant should be given
groundrules as to what he should expect if he
chooses to resubmit.
C/Grothe indicated that this project is
fundamentally the same project that has been
proposed for a year now, with the exception of the
senior citizen housing. He stated that his
direction to the applicant would be to go back and
design the project to meet the code, the design
review, and the General Plan.
Chair/Flamenbaum inquired of the applicant if they
are in a position to work with staff to develop a
project that the Commission feels would be more
appropriate for Diamond Bar.
Al Marshall requested the opportunity to study the
project, and give it further consideration, given
the concerns expressed by the Commission.
The Planning Commission voted upon C/Grothe's
motion to deny the project, as submitted.
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Grothe.
NOES: COMMISSIONERS: M e y e r L i a n d
Chair/Flamenbaum.
ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: None.
ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: VC/MacBride.
The Motion FAILED.
June 22, 1992 Page 9
C/Meyer asked if the applicant is willing to waive
the time restrictions for the Tentative Tact Map.
Al Marshall stated that the applicant is in
concurrence to waive the time restrictions on the
Tentative Tract Map.
C/Grothe requested that the application first go
before the TTC for review before coming to the
Planning Commission.
Motion was made by C/Meyer, seconded by C/Li and
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to continue the matter to the
meeting of August 10, 1992.
The Commission stated more concerns regarding the
proposed project: the size of the parking stalls
need to be increased; there needs to be additional
guest recreation amenities, especially for
children; there should be sprinklers in the garage
of the community building; and there should be a
further explanation as to why this site should not
be retail space, as indicated in the Fiscal Impact
report.
Chair/Flamenbaum noted that the letter received
from the Pomona Unified School District, expressing
a concern that the schools could not adequately
handle more enrollment, was written before the
project was proposed as a Senior Citizen complex.
The Commission then discussed the need to renotice
this project. The project has already been noticed
four times. However, because there is going to be
a 60 day lapse before the next hearing, the
Commission concurred to renotice the project.
C/Grothe suggested that noticing, in general,
should come up as a Commission item to determine
how to adequately notice all of the projects.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: CD/DeStefano reported that the City has hired
George Wentz, with the firm of Abbot & Associates,
Staff as Interim City Engineer. He further reported that
the City Council has tentatively approved the Plan
for Public Health and Safety, as well as the Plan
for Public Services and Facilities. Also, the
video tapes on the Tres Hermanos presentation is
available if anyone would like to view them.
Commissioners C/Meyer requested staff to place, on the agenda, a
discussion regarding the provisions of the zoning
ordinance, with respect to set backs of swimming
pools, with respect to main and accessory
June 22, 1992 Page 10
buildings. He would like staff to confer with the
City Attorney to see if there is a way to clarify
the definition, either by policy, or potential
modification of that definition by whatever means
necessary. The Commission concurred.
ADJOURNMENT: Motion was made by C/Grothe, seconded by
Chair/Flamenbaum and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to adjourn
the meeting at 10:00 p.m.

MEETING DATE: August 4, 1992
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: Heritage Park Community Building Reconstruction
ISSUE STATEMENT:
The City Council retained WolfflLang\Christopher Architects for Architectural Services to prepare plans,
specifications and construction management for the Heritage Park Community Building reconstruction. The
Architects and staff conduct three community work sessions to gather input from interested community
members, seniors and local organizations. Through the work sessions and discussion with the Parks and
Recreation Commission and City Staff the following plans were developed to best serve the needs of the
Community.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 92 - XX "Approving Plans and Specifications for Heritage Park Community Building
Construction and authorize the City Clerk to advertise and receive bids."
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
The anticipated cost for the Heritage Park Community Building is $575,150 and is part of the City's approved
Capital Improvement Program. State Park Grant, Community Development Block Grant and General Fund
money will be utilized.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council originally planned to renovate the existing 2,000 sq. ft. building. The Council applied for
and received approval for a $40,000 State Park Grant to renovate the Heritage Park Building. In addition the
Council has allocated part of the yearly Community Development Block Grant allocation for the construction
of the senior facility at Heritage Park. After reviewing the originally proposed renovation project with several
architects, it was determined that the best interest of the City would be served by demolishing rather than
renovating the current Heritage Park facility. In October, 1991 the firm of Wolff/Lang/Christopher Architects,
Inc. were retained to developed plans and specifications for the construction of a community and senior center.
DISCUSSION: The new building, 3,942 sq. ft., has been developed to meet current building codes
and standards, as well as, provide a building that can meet the needs of the community from Tiny Tots to the
Senior Programming. The building plans were developed through community workshops, input from the local
senior organization, Parks and Recreation Commission and City Staff. The building was developed to have
multiple uses that can be scheduled for various functions throughout the day.
Staff has prepared a tentative schedule for the various project activities. They are as follows:

MEETING DATE: August 4, 1992
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

SUBJECT: Adoption of the Uniform Building and Construction Codes for
the City of Diamond Bar
ISSUE STATEMENT:
The State of California reviews its Model Building Code regulations every
three years, and adopts the most current Uniform Building Codes printed by
the International Conference of Building Officials. The State of California
adopted the 1991 Building Code, 1991 Plumbing Code, 1991 Uniform Housing
Code, and 1991 Mechanical Code in late January, 1991. Local jurisdictions
are required to adopt said codes by ordinance or they will automatically be
adopted. The State allows local municipalities to amend the Uniform Building
Codes to meet the unique climatic, geographical, and topographical conditions
of the City.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council set for hearing and adoption, by reference, of the
"Uniform Administrative Code", 1991 edition, the "Uniform Building Code",
1991 edition including all appendices thereto and the "Uniform Building Code
Standards, 1991 edition, the "Uniform Mechanical Code", 1991 edition, the
"Uniform Plumbing Code", 1991 edition, the "National Electrical Code", 1990
edition, the "Uniform Housing Code", 1991 edition, the "Uniform Swimming
Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Code", 1991 edition together with certain amendments,
deletions and exceptions, including fees and penalties.
BACKGROUND:
In July of 1990, the City adopted the 1988 Uniform Model Code as amended by
Los Angeles County. Since then the International Conference of Building
Officials has reviewed the model codes, changed and omitted portions of said
codes. These changes and omissions are enclosed in the 1991 edition of above
referenced codes. In January of this year the State of California adopted
the 1991 codes which allow local cities by Law 180 days to follow suit. This
year local Cities have until August 14, 1992 to adopt the 1991 Uniform Codes.
DISCUSSION:
The State of California reviews its Model Building Code regulations every
three years, and adopts the most current Uniform Building Codes printed by
the International Conference of Building Officials. The State of California
adopted the 1991 Building Code, 1991 Plumbing Code, 1991 Uniform Housing
Code, and 1991 Mechanical Code in late January, 1992. Local jurisdictions
are required to adopt said codes by ordinance or they will automatically be
adopted. The State allows local municipalities to amend the Uniform Building
Codes to meet the unique climatic, geographical, and topographical conditions
of the city.
1
The attached proposed ordinance repeals Title 26 (Building Code), Title 27
(Electrical Code), Title 28 (Plumbing Code), and Title 29 (Mechanical Code)
of the Los Angeles County Code, and adds a new Title 15 to the Diamond Bar
City Code. The Title 15 codifies all Uniform Construction Codes into one
chapter. The reason for establishing the proposed Title 15 is that the
current Los Angeles County Uniform Building Codes do not meet the higher
quality construction methods used in the City of Diamond Bar.
The proposed ordinance introduces the Uniform Administrative Code, 1991
Edition, which will aid the Building Official in administrative,
organizational and enforcement rules and regulations for the technical codes
which regulate the site preparation and construction, alteration, moving,
demolition, repair, use and occupancy of buildings, structures and building
service equipment within the City of Diamond Bar.
Also introduced by this ordinance is the Uniform Housing Code, 1991 Edition.
This code establishes minimum requirements for housing standards, thus
enhancing the quality of living in the City of Diamond Bar. It gives the
City authority to address the maintenance of residential housing as relates
to required exiting, minimum light and ventilation, sanitation facilities,
electrical wiring, and weather protection. Within the Code there is
provision for abatement of substandard housing.
Highlighted within this ordinance is the addition to the plumbing code which
requires all new structures, to be equipped with an additional main for
future use of reclaimed water for landscape irrigation systems.
The department has reviewed the Model "Grey Water" Ordinance adopted by the
County of Los Angeles in July of 1991 and has discussed the impacts of said
Ordinance with both the Los Angeles Health Department and Los Angeles
Building & Safety Department. The Health Department has expressed some
concerns regarding the ordinance for the simple reason that complaints have
been filed by neighboring property owners complaining about grass drying and
smell. The Health Department has concluded that toxic soap and raw sewage
from clothes washer and or bathtubs have drained into the grey water system,
damaging the neighbors grass and plants. With the above information, it is
the department's recommendation that the City of Diamond Bar does not approve
any Grey Water Ordinance.
The Building Department has discussed the high rise package (Section 1807
Special Provisions) with the Fire Department and concluded that the County
equipment (ladders) can meet the 75 foot height limitation mandated by
Section 1807 of the 1991 Uniform Building Code. The Department recommends
that no modification to this section is required.
The following amended sections reflect the significant changes to the Model
Building Codes.
15.10.030 Section 202(c) is amended to give the Building Official "Right of
Entry" when in possession of a warrant.
15.10.050 Section 204(a) and (b) establishing the City Council to act as a
Board of Appeals in making a final determination of any appeal filed against
the Building Official's code interpretations or alternate materials.
2
15.10.060 Section 301(a) has been amended to allow the Building Department to
require permits for all demolitions, thus mandating the Department's review
of all demolition sites for maintenance and safety conditions (e.g.
pedestrian protection).
15.10.070 Section 301(b)(1)(A) is amended to further define storage sheds,
tool sheds, and similar accessory buildings. After reviewing the code
enforcement files it has come to our attention that the so-called tool sheds
and playhouses are equipped with elaborate electrical and plumbing systems
which may be used for housing people. This amendment requires a permit for
such a structure.
15.10.120 Section 303(d) has been amended to reduce the demolition permit
duration from 180 days to 45 days. This amendment will allow the Building
Department to review the building sites more frequently, thus expediting the
demolition phase of projects and reducing the possible eyesores related to
demolition projects.
15.14.030 Section 2907(j) is added to establish minimum design criteria for
all foundation work in expansive soil conditions. Throughout the City of
Diamond Bar expansive soil (adobe) exists, which mandates a soils report for
any foundation work. By adopting this amendment, the costly soils report can
be omitted from the typical room addition plans.
15.14.040 Section 3203 is amended to require a Class "C" roof material for
all new buildings and existing buildings throughout the City of Diamond Bar
when twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the roofed area is reroofed within
a one year period. The class "C" rated roof is effective against light fires
and may consist of wood shakes, which have been treated with fire retardant
materials.
15.14.060 Section 7001.5 (Appendix) is added to transfer the power and duties
usually exercised by the Building Official on all items dealing with
excavation and grading to the City Engineer. This amendment is proposed due
to the complexity of the submitted grading plans, due to the diverse
topography in the City of Diamond Bar. Dealing with this type of challenge
requires the expertise of an civil engineer who is accustomed in addressing
these projects, and this amendment would address this need.
15.26.040 Article 336-3 (a) Uses Permitted.
336-3 (a) Type NM. Type NM cable shall be permitted for beth expese
concealed work in normally dry locations. It shall be permissible to install
or fish Type NM cable in air voids in masonry block or tile walls where such
walls are not exposed or subject to excessive moisture or dampness.
Amended to read:
336-3 (a) Type NM. Type NM cable shall be permitted for concealed work in
normally dry locations. It shall be permissible to install or fish Type NM
cable in air voids in masonry block or tile walls where such walls are not
exposed or subject to excessive moisture or dampness.
3
336-3 (b) Type NMC. Type NMC cable shall be permitted: (1) for beth
empesed concealed work in dry, moist, damp, or corrosive locations; (2)
in outside and inside walls of masonry block or tile; (3) in a shallow chase
in masonry, concrete, or adobe protected against nails or screws by a steel
plate at least 1/16 inch (1.59 mm) thick and covered with plaster, adobe, or
similar finish.
Amended to read:
336-3 (b) Type NMC. Type NMC cable shall be permitted: (1) for concealed
work in dry, moist, damp, or corrosive locations; (2) in outside and inside
walls of masonry block or tile; (3) in a shallow chase in masonry, concrete,
or adobe protected against nails or screws by a steel plate at least 1/16
inch (1.59 mm) thick and covered with plaster, adobe, or similar finish.
These changes will help eliminate damage to nonmetallic cable in locations
subject to damage due to weather, ultra -violet light, or personal use (i.e.
garages, attics, under exterior soffits, under open -roofed patios).
15.26.050 336-4. Uses not Permitted.
336-4 (a) Type NM or NMC. Types NM and NMC cables shall not be used: (1)
in any dwelling or structure exceeding three floors above grade: (2) as
service -entrance cable; (3) in commercial garages having hazardous
(classified) locations as provided in Section 511-3: (4) in theaters and
--
Article 336-4 (a) Amended to read:
336-4 (a) Type NM or NMC. Types NM and NMC cables shall not be used: (1) in
any dwelling or structure exceeding three floors above grade; (2) as service -
entrance cable; (3) in commercial and industrial buildings. For the purpose
of this article, the first floor of a building shall be that floor that has
fifty percent or more of the exterior wall surface area level with or above
finished grade. One additional level that is the first level and not
designed for human habitation and used only for vehicle parking, storage, or
similar use shall be permitted.
Currently, the Building Department is encountering many cases of damage to
nonmetallic -sheathed cable during inspections of commercial tenant
improvements. Most of said damage is due to the use of steel studs, which is
mandated by the building code. The original article contained many
exceptions to commercial use already, however this change will broaden the
safety net to include office type uses.

Due to the expansive -type soil throughout Diamond Bar, it is necessary to add
the additional six inches burial of the Electrical wiring under one- and two-
family dwelling driveways and parking areas.
A copy of the proposed amended Codes have been provided to the Building
Industry Association (B.I.A.) for their review and comment.
A response from the Building Industry Association (B.I.A.) was received,
informing the Building Department that the proposed amendments to the Uniform
Model Codes were minor in nature and would not have a negative impact on the
building industry.
The Fire Department has received and reviewed the proposed Uniform Building
Code amendments and has determined that the amendments will not negatively
impact the Fire Codes.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
AGENDA NO.
MEETING DATE: August 4, 1992
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Terrence L. Belanger, City Manager
SUBJECT: Change of the street name Colima Road to Golden Springs
Drive, between Brea Canyon Road and westerly City limit
ISSUE STATEMENT
The City of Diamond Bar is considering changing the street name from Colima
Road to Golden Springs Drive, between Brea Canyon Road and westerly City
limit.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider this item and determine if
the street name should be changed from Colima Road to Golden Springs Drive,
between Brea Canyon Road and westerly City limit.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
It is approximated that the street name change would have an administrative
cost between $2,500 and $3,500, which is based on a 30 to 40 -hour staff time
at $75.00 per hour. The replacement of street signs, both regular and
illuminated, is anticipated to cost $3,000.
BACKGROUND
The proposal to change the current street name, Colima Road to Golden Springs
Drive originated from the discussion to maintain consistency in street names
within the City of Diamond Bar. Section 5026 of the Streets and Highways
Codes makes reference to street name changes accomplished by either a
resolution or and order. It is a common practice among cities to adopt a
resolution or an ordinance to allow street name changes as set forth in
Section 970.5 of the Streets and Highways Code.
DISCUSSION
Staff was asked to prepare related information for presentation to and
discussion by the Traffic and Transportation Commission. Following that
discussion, staff was to bring the findings to the City Council for
consideration.

Street Name change: Colima to Golden Springs
August 4, 1992
Prior to consideration of the street name change by the Traffic and
Transportation Commission, it was recommended that all businesses which are
affected by the proposed street name change be contacted and invited to
attend a public hearing. A public hearing was held before the Traffic and
Transportation Commission on July 9, 1992. Notification by way of mailers
were sent to each tenant of the various buildings affected by the proposed
name change. It was assumed that responses would be brought forth at the
public hearing. A copy of the letter sent is attached for your information.
A copy of the draft Minutes from the Traffic and Transportation Commission
meeting is also attached for City Council's information. The Commission
concluded that they could not find a clear basis for making a name change at
this time. Receiving no testimony from the public, the Commission
recommended that the street name change be deferred since the sphere -of -
influence area (i.e. Fairway Drive) may be affected in the future.
Should the City Council decide to change the street name change, a map
showing the change must be distributed to Registrar of Voters, U.S. Post
Office, City Clerk, County Engineer, and Utility Companies. It is
anticipated that the transition period would take between four to six months.

Boulevard to Fountain Springs as a way to bring the
limit line out.
ICE/Wentz stated that staff will investigate this
design alternative. He pointed out that
redesigning the existing wall will improve
visibility considerably. In response to
Chair/Chavers, he stated that staff has not yet
spoken to the office building owner about
restricting parking along his frontage on Fountain
Springs. Staff has not observed many vehicles
parked in that area.
Chair/Chavers requested staff to research the
appropriateness of a "No Parking" situation.
Motion was made by C/Beke, seconded by
Chair/Chavers and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to accept
staff's recommendation as presented, and to request
staff to investigate extending the red curb as
discussed by Mr. Anderson, and to investigate the
potential of a right turn only lane as a means of
pushing the limit line out into Diamond Bar Blvd.,
to be brought back to the Commission on the August
13, 1992 meeting.

The public hearing was declared opened.
AA/Aberra presented the staff report regarding the
desire to change the street name Colima Road to
Golden Springs Drive, between Brea Canyon Road and
westerly City limit. When the public hearing is
complete, testimonies will be forwarded to the City
Council with a recommendation. If the City Council
approves the name change, it is anticipated that
the transition period will take between four and
six months. It is recommended that the Commission
receive and forward the public testimony with the
recommendation to change the street name Colima
Road to Golden Springs Drive, between Brea Canyon
Road and westerly City limit, to the City Council
for approval.
AA/Aberra, in response to a series of Commission
inquiries, stated the following: the property
owners were notified, of the name change, by
July 9, 1992
Page 7
letter, prior to the meeting; the Council desires
the name change to maintain consistency; and staff
has determined that the cost of replacing the
street signs will be approximately $3,000.
Motion was made VC/Gravdahl, and seconded by C/Ury
to hold the decision of the name change until it is
determined if the Brea Canyon Cut-off/Fairway Drive
area is annexed.
Chair/Chavers stated that it does not make sense to
extend the name change to Lemon at this time since
it would have to be changed again if we annex to
Fairway.
C/Ury suggested that a more logical location for
the name change would be Brea Canyon and Golden
Springs/Colima, or move down to the next major
intersection. He questioned why the Council
desires the name change.
C/Beke indicated that, though it is unusual, it is
not unprecedented to change the name in the middle
of a block. The Council may desire the name change
simply because Golden Springs sounds more like
Diamond Bar, and sounds more prestigious. He would
support the name change at the Golf Course, and
would not want to hold off until some annexation
that may never happen.
C/Cheng noted that Colima is a better known name
generally than Golden Springs.
The Commission voted upon VC/Gravdahl's Motion to
consider the name change at a later date.
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Ury, VC/Gravdahl, and
Chair/Chavers.
NOES: COMMISSIONERS: Beke.
ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: Cheng.

MEETING DATE: August 4, 1992
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Terrence L. Belanger, Acting City Manager
SUBJECT: Rehabilitation of Grand Avenue from the easterly City
limit line to Golden Springs Drive
ISSUE STATEMENT
The City proposes to rehabilitate Grand Avenue between the easterly City
limit line and Golden Springs Drive. To accomplish the improvements, it
is necessary to secure the services of a qualified pavement testing and
civil engineering firm to provide pavement analysis and design services.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council award a consultant services
contract to DGA Consultants, Inc. in an amount not -to -exceed $53,000.00
plus provide a contingency of $5,000.00.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
A total of $450,000.00 has been budgeted for Grand Avenue at this time.
This project is funded by Grand Avenue Construction Fund.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Grand Avenue, between the easterly City limit line and Golden Springs
Drive, is in need of pavement rehabilitation. To determine the most
practical and economical approach for restoring the street to full
function, the existing pavement on Grand Avenue must be tested,
analyzed, and evaluated prior to any pavement design work. It is
anticipated that the varied conditions of the existing roadway paving
may result in optional rehabilitation treatments (i.e., overlay, asphalt
rubber hot mix, etc.).
Staff proposes to complete the design for the entire section of Grand
Avenue from the easterly City limit to Golden Springs. This will
provide both a short and long term plan for improvements since the
limits of the project will be determined by the cost of construction.
Once the design is complete, staff proposes to bid the project and
recommend appropriate awards to the City Council based on available
funds and anticipated improvements.
On July 9, 1992, staff initiated a request for proposals to procure a
civil engineering firm for the design services for the project. A total
of three (3) engineering proposals were solicited and submitted for
evaluation. These firms and equivalent bids are as follows:
1. Dwight French and Associates $69,000
2. DGA Consultants, Inc. $53,000
3. Boyle Engineering Corporation $43,404
Interviews were conducted with all consultants on July 28, 1992.
Evaluation based on demonstrated track record, adequate number of staff
assigned to the job, experience of team members, ability to work with
city staff, knowledge of local conditions, involvement with related
projects, ability to keep on schedule, ability to stay within budget and
demonstrated interest by the consultants were utilized.
Based upon their presentations and proposals, staff believes that the
scope of work and related services from DGA Consultants, Inc. represents
the best choice. DGA's proposal also includes approximately $6,600 for
aerial and field surveys which are not included by the other proposers
but will prove valuable to the City. The cost as proposed by DGA
includes approximately $22,250 for pavement testing and $30,750 for all
design services including plans used for construction purposes. The
total design cost will not exceed $53,000. The cost should be somewhat
less if the limits are changed due to the cost of construction based on
traffic control and striping plans not being required for the entire
project. Staff anticipates design to be complete within 3 months.
