He recommended that Tuesday, May 9, 1995 be scheduled to begin the adoption process for the General Plan. Further, he recommended that the Council refer the Plan to the Planning Commission for review and recommendations in four specific areas (primarily dealing with the Land Use and Housing Elements): 1) establishment of a high density residential classification at 20 dwelling units per acre; 2) addition of residential uses at a density of one unit to two acres within the agricultural designation; 3) revisions to the Land Use Element regarding the planned development classification and the areas so designated; 4) modifications that need to be made to the land use map reflecting these items mentioned previously. He also requested an April 27, 1995 response deadline for the Planning Commission's recommendations for the Council's consideration for the May 9, 1995 meeting. Wilbur Smith, 21630 Fairwind Ln., asked that once these recommendations come back from the Planning Commission for Public Hearing, will the public get the opportunity to discuss. M/Papen responded that after the Planning Commission reviews Council's recommendations, their review and recommendations will come back to the Council for final approval and public comment will be provided for at the May 9 meeting. Max Maxwell, 3211 Bent Twig Ln., asked about the timing of signing the Ordinance to adopt the General Plan and if there would be a final presentation to the public for review. CDD/DeStefano advised that the purpose of the 30 -day review is to allow the public an opportunity to review all of the changes that the Council had made since beginning the process. He explained that it is hard to tell what kind of time frame will be needed until the recommendations come back from the Planning Commission. Once the recommendations are accepted by Council, the approval of the Ordinance will take place on May 9, 1995. Max Maxwell asked when will the public get to review the final draft before APRIL 4, 1995 PAGE 10 signing the Ordinance. M/Papen advised that once the Ordinance is adopted, there will not be another Ordinance printed. MPT/Werner moved, C/Ansari seconded to direct staff to distribute the revised draft General Plan, establish May 9, 1995 for a Public Hearing, refer the draft General Plan to the Planning Commission for recommendation on the four specific issues and instruct them to return their recommendation to the Council by April 27, 1995. C/Harmony asked if the EIR would need expansion to expand to accommodate the additional number of building units that are being proposed in this version of the General Plan and what is the ultimate build out according to the Plan. CDD/DeStefano advised that the 1995 General Plan outlines a base of residential dwelling units and commercial square footage, plus anticipated growth as a result of the Plan's policies. The cumulative total of that growth had been accessed with respect to the previously certified EIR. A determination had been made by staff and planning consultants that an addendum to the EIR, the appropriate environmental tool, based upon the cumulative total residential dwelling units and commercial/industrial development is within the scope and range of the environmental assessment done within that final EIR. C/Harmony reiterated that the old EIR provided a build -out of approximately 6,000 homes and the new General Plan is suggesting that the EIR provide up to that number. With the following Roll Call vote, motion carried: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Ansari, Miller, MPT/Werner, M/Papen NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Harmony ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None Associate Attorney Montgomery explained that the terms "Resolution" and "Ordinance" have been used inter -changeably.

M/Papen advised that the Council's intent is adoption by Resolution. RECESS: M/Papen recessed the meeting at 8:58 p.m. APRIL 4, 1995 PAGE 11 RECONVENED: M/Papen reconvened the meeting at 9:08 p.m. 9. NEW BUSINESS 9.1 ORDINANCE NO. 04(1995): AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR EXTENDING THE TERM OF THE CABLE TELEVISION SYSTEM FRANCHISE, GRANTED UNDER THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES - CM/Belanger reported that the Ordinance would extend the term of the cable television system franchise for a period not to exceed 18 months. The service was inherited from L.A. County upon incorporation. The cable ad hoc committee and staff met with principals from the cable company and, subject to a series of conditions, it was recommended that the Council extend the cable franchise in order to allow for certain activities to take place in conjunction with the negotiation of a new cable franchise agreement with Jones Intercable. In response to M/Papen, CM/Belanger advised that an extensive public needs assessment will be undertaken where the public will be able, through survey research, to feed back to the City what they think of Jones Intercable. No date has yet been set for a Public Hearing. He further stated that the proposal was worded for 18 months; however, it was indicated to the cable operator that it would be the City's intent to complete the study process before the end of 1995 calendar year. C/Harmony expressed concern as to why staff is now wanting to discuss this matter when Jones Intercable asked for informal discussions last year. CM/Belanger advised that the legal environment in which this negotiation would have taken place created reticence by city staff. MPT/Werner suggested that a date for Public Hearing be set regarding the likes and dislikes with Jones Intercable. He asked staff if a shorter extension was requested and can that extension be extended at a later date. CM/Belanger advised that 18 -months is given for a cushion and that the City can extend it as many times as they want. Janet Spatz, General Manager of Jones Intercable, advised that her company requested three years as a starting point, however 18 -months is all right. Max Maxwell, 3211 Bent Twig Ln., commented that a 30 -day notice should be given to Jones Intercable because they have not serviced the community as they should and indicated that he was against the contract. APRIL 4, 1995 PAGE 12 Dr. Lawrence Rhodes, Fiber Ct., supported the 18 -month contract extension. Steve Grimes commented that Jones Intercable does not give the variety of channels as does other cable companies and recommended a 30 -day notice, without extension, in order to make them come up with a fair value service plan. Frank Dursa opposed extension of the contract. Don Schad, 1824 Shaded Wood Rd., opposed extension of the contract. Mrs. Spatz explained that multiplexing cannot be done because there are no more channels available to Jones. MPT/Werner asked Mrs. Spatz that if there were additional channels available, would that result in an increase of cable costs. Mrs. Spatz advised that it would not increase the costs. She reported that random surveys are completed to keep Jones Intercable advised of the wants of the community. In response to C/Harmony, Mrs. Spatz indicated that Future America regularly displays their tapes on Channel 12 and that they must have a film permit in order to air on Jones Intercable. C/Harmony moved to give Jones Intercable a three-month extension with a request for RFP's, bring them back to Council for selection and hire special legal counsel knowledgeable in the laws in this regard. For lack of a second, motion died. C/Ansari asked for clarification on legal advice for this type of franchise. M/Papen explained that if special legal counsel is required for recommendations, it will be a long process due to various audits of the agency as well as completion of a needs assessment. CM/Belanger advised that the City Attorney cannot give this type of legal advice and special legal counsel would be necessary. CA/Jenkins advised that he has personally been involved with cable renewals and this service can be provided. In response to MPT/Werner, CM/Belanger stated three RFP's were received in the fall of 1994 and that staff and the cable ad hoc committee agreed that staff and the Council could make the decisions on their own. APRIL 4, 1995 PAGE 13 MPT/Werner asked if our budget would allow the City to extend the cable agreement, receive special legal assistance and receive RFP's for cable service. CM/Belanger advised that the Council would have to increase the budget to allow for these services to be performed. MPT/Werner moved, C/Miller seconded to approve a six month extension; direct staff to survey other Southern California cable companies; schedule a Public Hearing within six months for community input, performance of audits by staff and in-house counsel and a presentation by Jones Intercable. MPT/Harmony asked if our City Attorney sat in the meeting with the cable company. CA/Jenkins advised that he did not sit in on this meeting. With the Following Roll Call vote, motion carried: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Miller, MPT/Werner, M/Papen NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Ansari, Harmony ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None 10. ANNOUNCEMENTS: None 11. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to conduct, the meeting was adjourned at 10:14 p.m. in memory of John Joseph Mahoney. LYNDA BURGESS, City Clerk ATTEST: Mayor 2 MINUTES OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR SPECIAL JOINT MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL /Q AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 6, 1995 CALL TO ORDER: Mayor Papen called the meeting to order at 6:47 p.m. at the SCAQMD Auditorium, 21865 East Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, California. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: The audience was led in the Pledge of Allegiance by M/Papen. ROLL CALL: Council Members Ansari, Harmony, Miller, Mayor Pro Tem Werner and Mayor Papen. PLANNING COMMISSIONERS: Fong, Schad, Vice -Chairman Huff and Chairman Flamenbaum. Commissioner Meyer was excused. Also Present: Terrence L. Belanger, City Manager; Leonard Hempel, Special Legal Counsel; George Wentz, City Engineer; Michael Myers, Consultant Engineer; Jim DeStefano, Community Development Director; and Lynda Burgess, City Clerk. OLD BUSINESS: 2.1 CERTIFICATION OF MASTER ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NO. 91-2 AND APPROVAL OF VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 47850, LOCATED EASTERLY OF STEEPLECHASE LANE AND SOUTH OF WINDMILL DRIVE ADJACENT TO THE PRIVATE GATED COMMUNITY KNOWN AS "THE COUNTRY" - WPapen introduced Leonard Hempel, Rutan & Tucker, Special Legal Counsel, and asked him to discuss the reason for the joint meeting. She stated that staff would make a presentation regarding the project and lawsuit settlement. The meeting will be turned over to the Planning Commission for consideration and recommendation, after which the Council will discuss the project. Mr. Hempel stated that it had been approximately one year since litigation between D.B. Assoc. (DBA) and the City concluded with a settlement agreement. Part of the settlement involved the Council adopting a motion to reconsider a denial of VTTM No. 47850 which occurred in November, 1992. The denial was a result of the failure to present geotechnical data responding to 24 points at issue. The Planning Commission previously approved the map and because the City recognized there would be updated data with respect to geotechnical and environmental information in the new EIR, the settlement included a joint meeting between the Planning Commission and the Council. Although a public hearing is not required, the Planning Commissioners are being asked for their comments based on the new information. At the conclusion of the Council public hearing, the Council will determine whether to approve, deny, modify, or request additional data on the map. The agreement did not obligate the Council beyond following the State Subdivision Map Act, and City Codes and Ordinances in April 6, 1995 Page 2 reconsideration of the map. In response to M/Papen, Mr. Hempel stated that there is no conflict of interest with M/Papen and C/Miller sitting in judgement of this project. M/Papen and C/Miller were added as defendants in the initial lawsuit. Demurrers were filed on behalf of Papen and Miller which were sustained without leave to amend. The settlement did not resolve that issue and DBA was free to appeal the dismissal of Papen and Miller from the lawsuit. Although they initially appealed, they later dropped the appeal, thereby making the decision of the trail court final, dismissing Papen and Miller. There is no restriction and no conflict relating from that litigation. In response to MPT/Werner, Mr. Hempel indicated that the project was considered under Ordinance. No. 4, not under the General Plan. The settlement specifically envisioned that the Council would have the right to consider the project based upon the General Plan currently under consideration pursuant to the State Office of Planning and Research (OPR) extension of time. He stated that the Council should be considering this project under what they believe the ultimate General Plan designation will be for this property. The project will be vested under the terms of approval and at the time of final map approval. Technically, there is no General Plan under which the project will be vested, but the Council will be making findings that the project is not inconsistent with the proposed General Plan. Chair/Flamenbaum asked the extent of the current Planning Commission's involvement in the review process since a previously -seated Planning Commission had approved the project. Mr. Hempel responded that the Planning Commission was not being asked to re -approve the project or go through the detail of the conditions. Upon request by the Planning Commission, the Council may grant the Commission additional opportunity to consider the project. Chair/Flamenbaum stated that no current Planning Commissioners were members of the Commission when the project was approved and they do not have specific knowledge of the details. Mr. Hempel responded that, at the time the settlement agreement was entered into, it was not known that a year would be required to process the additional data and there would be a different Planning Commission. Council will determine the outcome of the project. Legally, the Planning Commission approved the project and the addition of the joint meeting was to give the current Commission the opportunity to review the updated data. Responding to MPT/Werner, CDD/DeStefano stated that the developer had April 6, 1995 Page 3 paid all costs associated with reconsideration of VTTM No. 47850. He further reported that the project began in November, 1989 with a submittal to the City's acting planning staff at L.A. County. VTM No. 47850 was a component of a three tract submittal that was given to the City. The three tracts, 47850, 47851 and 48487, comprise a total of approximately 160 acres within the southwest portion of 'The Country Estates" generally adjacent to Steeplechase Lane and Wagon Train Lane, and Hawkwood Road and Bent Twig Lane, and totalled about 120 dwelling units. In November, 1991 the Planning Commission reviewed the project and recommended its approval. The Council reviewed the project in early 1992 and in May, 1992, approved VTTMs 47851 and 48487 and certified that portion of the Master EIR. Map 47850 received further review in May and June 1992, and again in November and December 1992, and was subsequently denied. The Council denied the Map without prejudice and encouraged the developer to respond to outstanding issues and again present the project. As a result of litigation, the settlement agreement was concluded about one year ago and discussions ensued regarding the type of project presentation and environmental documentation needed for resubmission to the City. As a part of reconsideration of this project, the City held a widely publicized workshop on Saturday, March 11, 1995 from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. City staff, the City's consultants, development representatives and members of the community participated in an information session. This was not a posted public hearing. Kurt Nelson, D.B. Assoc., 3480 Torrance Blvd., Torrance, stated that VTTM 47850 is part of approximately 280 acres known as "The Back Country" which was intended as a third phase of development in "The Country Estates" by Transamerica Development, now D. B. Assoc. In the mid 1980's, through an agreement with 'The Country Estates", these back country parcels obtained access rights for development and these rights have been exercised with the Phase I development of Tract 47851. Negotiations continue with 'The Country Estates" to effect full annexation. D.B. Assoc. has a homeowners association with CC&R's to implement the special conditions of approval which were a part of Phase I and which will certainly be a part of Phase II. Full annexation will retain the declaration of CC&R's so that all of the conditions of approval that the City's staff, consultants and the Council visit on this project will be carried out. D.B. Assoc. has given careful consideration to the 24 questions posed by Leighton & Assoc. concerning the geologic stability of the project. Phase II will incorporate the balancing of grading and re -vegetation used in Phase I. Lex Williman, Planning Director, Hunsaker & Associates, 10179 Huntington Street, San Diego, stated that this project was originally submitted to the County. When the City incorporated, it changed some of the rules. The Council adopted a Hillside Management Ordinance, the County's Oak Tree April 6, 1995 Page 4 Ordinance and the SEA #15 boundaries. In addition, the City created a Significant Ecological Area Technical Advisory Committee (SEATAC) which reviewed this project. He indicated that his firm became involved in the project as a result of the Hillside Management Ordinance. His firm's task was to specifically recreate the project so that it met the Hillside Management Ordinance criteria. He believed this had been accomplished. This project has been reviewed by SEATAC on four occasions, and has been through five Planning Commission hearings and five or six Council hearings. The project is accessible from Steeplechase Ln. and Hawkwood Rd. Tonner Canyon and the Boy Scout properties are to the south of the project and Tract No. 47851 and No. 48487 are to the east of the project on the opposite ridge. His firm employed a combination of contour and land form grading techniques to the project. Balance was achieved by considering the underlying topography, the geotechnical conditions, the consideration of the General Plan, SEATAC input and the Hillside Ordinance. In areas where shear keys must be created, slopes similar to Tract No. 47851 are proposed to combine with the natural species. In addition, fill areas are proposed for the canyon to shore up some geotechnical instability in the slopes. There will be no construction in these areas. Land form grading will be used for the grading to create a natural look of the horizontal and vertical contours. The Uniform Building Code requires terraces and down drains which are hidden with berms and landscaping to preserve the natural look. In addition, all of the concrete required to meet the conditions of approval will be in earth tones in concert with the landscaping. He indicated that these issues have been addressed because the City's staff and City Council held the developers to a higher degree of standards than other cities. The 73 acre site proposes 57 lots. The minimum lot size is 20,000 square feet and the average lot size is about 1.3 acres. The minimum pad size is 10,000 square feet and the average is about 14,300 square feet. This conforms to the current Draft General Plan. The average density is .75 dwelling units per acre with a maximum of 1 dwelling unit per acre. The underlying zoning is R-1-8000 and R-1-20,000. This project adheres to the R-1-20,000 throughout the site. There is a gate at Steeplechase Lane and Hawkwood Road. In addition, there is an emergency access to the north through the Las Brisas condominium project that connects to Hawkwood Rd. and provides secondary access to the condominiums. It is intended that this access will remain and it will be gated for emergency purposes only. The architecture of the gate will be enhanced with a combination of brick and wrought iron to conform to the front entrance gates for "The Country Estates". Don Harrington, Harrington Geotechnical, 1938 North Batavia St., Ste. N, Orange, stated that there were 13 exploratory borings drilled 120 feet deep, 40 test pits 15 feet deep and approximately 1400 lineal feet of trench excavated with a bulldozer. All of these excavations were logged by the April 6, 1995 Page 5 project geologist and samples were taken. The weak link at this project is a thin layer of clay that was originally identified as bentonite. The material was tested in the Harrington Geotechnical laboratory, as well as the laboratory of another consultant and unusually high strength parameters were obtained. A sample was sent to the Bureau of Mines and Mineral Resources in New Mexico for analysis. It was determined that the material was smectite which is a coarser grained stronger material than bentonite. Realizing that there may be some uncertainties in sampling and testing, based upon discussions with D.B. Assoc. and the Leighton & Associates, the strength parameters were lowered by approximately 30%. The remedial grading design and stability calculations were based upon these lower values and a safety factor of 1.5 as required by code. Twenty four items of concern regarding the project were compiled by Leighton & Assoc. These items were reviewed and answered to the satisfaction of the consultant. Craig Weber, Consulting Landscape Architect, D.B. Assoc., 790 Redondo Ave., Long Beach, stated that his firm has been involved in this project since 1989 and they have conducted a thorough investigation of Tract No. 47850, as well as Tract No. 47851. The initial studies that took place in 1989 and 1990 resulted in a detailed analysis of the site and its vegetation which assisted in the development of criteria for mitigation. He indicated the primary structure of this site is a combination of oak and walnut woodlands. The primary tree, walnut, dominates the site at a ratio of four to one over the oak tree. In spite of considerable grading of the site, approximately 240 oak and walnut trees will be retained. As a result of grading, approximately 540 walnut trees and 23 oak trees will be removed from the site. The oaks will be mitigated at a ratio of four to one, and the walnuts will be mitigated at a ratio of two to one as determined by Michael Brandman & Assoc. The developer will be responsible for on-site planting of 85 oak trees and 1,096 walnut trees, all of which will be irrigated and monitored for a period of five years. Sycamore, willow and pine trees will be planted in the central portion of the development, and the surrounding slopes will be mitigated with pure native vegetation. All of the proposed material will be generated from seeds and/or cuttings from the on-site gene pool. He referred the Council members and Commissioners to the westerly canyon area of the site which will receive a significant portion of hillside runoff into Tonner Canyon. He stated a series of water management basins are being developed to insure the water quality following a format currently being developed by the Center for Regenerative Studies, Cal -Poly Pomona. He indicated that D. B. Assoc. will monitor the growth and development of all proposed site vegetation for a period of five years with an annual inspection and monitoring program. David Smith, Leighton & Associates, stated his firm is the Geotechnical Consultant for the City hired to review the geotechnical aspects of Tract No. 47850. The review began in 1992 with a submittal of the developers' April 6, 1995 Page 6 geotechnical investigation and grading plan review which was prepared by Harrington & Assoc. As a result of that review, Leighton & Assoc. issued a review sheet which recommended that the project not be approved until 24 specific comments were addressed. Since that time, Harrington & Associates has responded to the review comments which, in many cases, generated additional review comments. Through the review process involving several meetings between City's staff, the developer and his consultants, as well as Leighton & Assoc., all 24 of the original geotechnical review comments have been adequately addressed at this phase. He further stated that it is important to continue the review through the grading and construction phases to verify that the original geotechnical interpretation continues to be accurate. Tom Smith, Michael Brandman & Associates, 17310 Redhill, Irvine stated that Tract 47850 was originally evaluated in an EIR that address three tracts: 47850, 47851 and 48487. The EIR was certified for Tract No. 47851 and No. 48487. In the intervening two years since the EIR was filed, regulations have changed with special regard to biological resources on the site. In addition, there were changes in the air quality regulations that required re -analysis to meet current standards. As a result, in October, 1994, the City initiated a second environmental review process for Tract No. 47850. In order that information compiled in the previous EIR, the City and Michael Brandman & Assoc. determined that there were three primary issues that the revised Draft EIR should address. These were the geological factors, the biological resources and the air quality impacts of construction. All other issues that were analyzed in the 1992 EIR were determined to have been adequately addressed in that document and did not need to be re- analyzed. All impacts evaluated in the revised Draft EIR were found to be mitigated to a level that was not significant after mitigation was applied with the exception of construction dust on the environment. South Coast Air Quality Management set a standard of PM10 and because of the low standards set for dust emissions from construction, that impact cannot be mitigated through normal construction techniques of watering, etc. Therefore, Council will be required to make a statement of overriding considerations should the Council decide to approve this project. The revised Draft EIR was released for public review in February, 1995, and the review period ended on March 15, 1995. During the review period, written comments were received from two public agencies, the Los Angeles County Sanitation District and Caltrans, from three members of the community and from the applicant. Responses to these letters have been included in the document entitled "Response to Comments Received on Draft Environmental Impact Report". He further stated that, as required by California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a mitigation monitoring program has been prepared which lists all of the mitigation measures from the revised Draft and from the 1992 EIR that are recommended for April 6, 1995 Page 7 incorporation into the project to mitigate the impacts of its development. CDD/DeStefano stated that the overall proposed land use for this project is Single Family Residential, 57 units on 73 acres. The lot sizes range from about 314 acre to over 5 acres with the average lot size in excess of an acre. Average pad sizes are in excess of 14,300 square feet with a minimum of 10,000 square feet. The overall land use of the project is substantially the same as that which was reviewed by the Planning Commission in 1991 and the City Council in 1992. The project is generally consistent with the General Plan as it existed in 1992 and as it exists in its present form. It is consistent with the zoning in place on the site and with the caliber of homes within "The Country Estates", the immediate neighbor to the proposed project. Homes that will be created on a product of this nature range in size from 5,000 to 10,000 square feet, are generally two stories, generally provide substantial private amenities such as pools, tennis courts and other types of recreational facilities. The project not only incorporates the Vesting Tentative Map and related issues under discussion, it also involves, as a result of City and County standards, a Conditional Use Permit for hillside grading requiring the use of land form grading techniques and for the mitigation of the loss of oak trees. The grading for the proposed site comprises about 780,000 cubic yards of earth. He recommended that the joint session receive public testimony, receive Planning Commission commentary and for the Council to continue deliberation and direct staff appropriately. RECESS: M/Papen recessed the meeting at 8:02 p.m. RECONVENE: M/Papen reconvened the meeting at 8:20 p.m. M/Papen declared the Public Hearing open. Wilbur Smith, 21630 Fairwind Ln., referred the Council to his letter addressed to the City and requested it be made a part of the record. In addition, he requested that answers to questions in his letter be addressed by the Council and made a part of the final record. He cited the following reasons he opposed approval of VTTM 47850: The developers' technical documentation identified the cause of past and potential future landslides due to a combination of smectite soil layers and ground water/pore water pressure and the documents confirmed the presence of both items within the tract boundaries; the documents do not include groundwater or pore pressure in the Factor of Safety calculations which indicate the stability of the slopes; County Code requires Factors of Safety of 1.5 or greater. These documents report Factors of Safety of 1.5051, 1.5093, 1.5011, 1.5133 based on normal conditions. These values should exceed the County requirement April 6, 1995 Page 8 by a greater amount to allow for errors in the computational process. Also, calculations should be made based upon abnormal conditions such as adverse weather (50-100 year rain seasons), uncertainties in geologic parameters, human deficiencies in workmanship, etc.; and the report contains conflicting statements. The test states "groundwater was not encountered in any exploratory borings drilled on the site...", whereas the figures and tables show the presence of ground water. Because of these contradictions, the truthfulness of these reports is questionable. Don Greely, 22635 Ridge Line Rd., President of "The Country Estates" association, stated the association had been involved with this project since 1988. Seven years after D.B. Assoc. requested full annexation, this has not been accomplished. On behalf of the association, he asked the Council to consider proposing a condition that, as per the Council Minutes dated November 15, 1994, full annexation would be agreed to be involved parties prior to any further deliberation with regard to this project. In addition, if annexation does not occur, the developer will provide facilities such as club house, tennis courts and pools for their community use. He indicated that without annexation, the homeowners of Tract No. 47850 are not entitled to the privileges of "The Country Estates." He further stated that although he had previously been in favor of this project, he is now opposed to the project. The developer placed a burden upon 'The Country Estates" by using and damaging the paved roadways which have not been repaired. He asked that the developer make the necessary repairs immediately. In addition, the association anticipates there will be additional damage and requests a cash fund be established by the developer in advance for repair of streets. Responding to M/Papen, Mr. Greely stated that in the event of full annexation of the development, 'The Country Estates" will build a larger club house, a larger pool and additional tennis courts to accommodate the additional homeowners. The current facilities are not adequate to accommodate the new development. In response to MPT/Werner, Mr. Greely indicated the association is looking for a similar condition to that imposed on the Jerry Yeh project for annexation with an associated fee. M/Papen referred to a letter submitted by David Araujo dated March 11, 1995 wherein he stated that although he previously opposed the project, after attending the Saturday meeting in March he is now in favor of the project. Martha Bruske, 600 South Great Bend Dr., stated the 6:30 p.m. Public Hearing started about 6:40. The people in favor of the project had sufficient time to discuss their views and the only person who was timed and April 6, 1995 Page 9 interrupted was Mr. Wilbur Smith who lives in the area. In response to Mrs. Bruske, M/Papen stated she gave Mr. Smith eight minutes to speak and he took nine minutes which is nearly double the usual time allocated for speaking during a Public Hearing. Jack Healy asked that the City Attorney address the potential liability to D. B. Assoc., the City, JCC Developers and Leighton Assoc. with respect to slippage of the property. In addition, he asked whether D.B. Assoc. had published any safety factors for the proposed lots. He asked for discussion of the problem of burrowing animals which could cause seepage into the smectite, and what impact the lack of pest control in Tonner Canyon might have on this project since Tract No. 47850 borders 3500 acres of the Canyon. There being no further testimony offered, M/Papen closed the Public Hearing. M/Papen turned the meeting over to Planning Commission Chair Flamenbaum. A motion was made by VC/Huff that the Planning Commission recommend that the Council return this project to the Commission as an agenda item for consideration. Comm./Schad did not feel it necessary to pursue the project further. Comm./Fong stated that it is up to the Council to determine if they wish to send the project back to the Planning Commission for review. Chair/Flamenbaum stated that he had limited knowledge of the project and felt it might be in the best interest of the City to send the project back to the Planning Commission for review. C/Ansari felt the wishes of the Planning Commission should be honored. She indicated she had several questions as a result of issues raised during the public hearing and felt the project should be returned to the Planning Commission for recommendations. Responding to C/Harmony, Mr. Hempel read the following provision pertaining to the joint session from the settlement agreement with the developer: "After conducting the joint session, or any continuance of the joint session meeting, VTM 47850 shall be referred to the City Council to take action on the re -consideration. Upon such reconsideration, the Council shall exercise that degree of discretion permitted the Council by state April 6, 1995 Page 10 statutes and local ordinances pertaining to approval of a subdivision tract map. Further, the Council shall consider approval of VTM 47850 under the recently obtained extension of the deadline for adopting a General Plan issued by the Governor's Office of Planning and Research." Mr. Hempel explained that agreement does not state anything about a referral back to the Planning Commission, but the agreement does say the Council shall exercise a degree of discretion permitted to Council by state statute. State statute permits referral back to the Planning Commission, if in the Council's judgement, there is significant new information that the Planning Commission could assist in commenting on. He further stated that, in his opinion, the Council has the right to return the item to the Commission even though the agreement does not specifically address the issue. He suggested that with the time constraints, the Council could obtain the consent of the applicant and, in the event of referral to the Planning Commission, provide the applicant with a time line of events. C/Ansari expressed concern about whether the questions can be adequately addressed during the joint session with responses from the City's Engineering staff as to whether these are viable conclusions from the applicant's consultants. She requested further clarification regarding safety factors of 1.5 and water seepage. Mr. Hempel responded to M/Papen that the meeting could be split with the Council's portion continued to a later time and Planning Commission's portion continued to the April 10 Commission meeting. C/Miller suggested that the item be continued to the Planning Commission meeting of April 24 giving them adequate time to receive and review the pertinent materials. He requested the geotechnical investigation and recommended scheduling the item for the first Council meeting in May. M/Papen stated that the joint session would be used as an information and question gathering session. The Planning Commission will review the project at its April 24 meeting and return their recommendations to the Council for deliberation at the first Council meeting in May. She asked Planning Commissioners for their questions. Chair/Flamenbaum asked if it is necessary to fill in the canyon on the west side of the map if new houses are built on lots 20 through 28. How far to the west could a house be built if a fill did not occur on the west side. What if the map was split and houses were built only on the east side of the map and not on the west side of the map. Aside from the CC&R's, what assurances does the City have that the natural flora and fauna will not be impacted by future residents. The booklet "Home Buyers Awareness Package" indicates that homeowners should be warned and should not put April 6, 1995 Page 11 in certain potentially invasive plant species (Page 3), but what assurances are there that they will comply and what is the City's recourse if they do not comply. Will there be a mitigation/monitoring program and if so, who will maintain and pay for the program. Does the new Draft EIR consider the impact of the two adjacent projects and, subsequent to the initial EIR, the Jerry Yeh project was approved. What is the impact upon this tract as a result of that project approval. Regarding Volume I of the Draft EIR, Page 42-3, Mitigation Measures for Air Quality, he asked if these were the same measures used for other recently completed projects and what were the results. He further stated that, throughout the EIR, there is no mention of cougars or bobcats; however, the video concluded with a shot of a sleepy cougar. Where was the picture taken and why was it in the video if there are no cougars. Are all of the animals pictured in the video at the site. The EIR makes mention of numerous animals but it also avoids a number of animals. Is this area a part of a wildlife corridor. The EIR states that this is a secondary corridor but it does not talk about the project's impact to the secondary corridor. Additionally, inasmuch as the other tract maps are not considered in the EIR, what is the impact of the other improvements upon the site. Are the setbacks the same for each lot on the site. If not, how do they vary, how much do they vary, do they vary side to side, and if they are varied or not varied, does it have any significant impact in the EIR with regard to aesthetics and geology. Page 4-15 of the EIR discusses mammals, raccoons are not mentioned. The EIR does not mention bobcat. Bobcat is mentioned in the supplement. On Page 4-17, the EIR talks about mule deer and how there is no impact to the mule deer; however, it talks about the fact that this is a loss of a bedding area. He stated he would like to see an SEA #15 overlay on the project. He indicated the EIR is not specific with regard to the SEA #15. He referred to the five year monitoring of tree growth by the developer and wants to know what occurs at the end of the monitoring period. Is the City then responsible for their care and maintenance and is the City going to monitor and pay for their care. What is the impact upon those trees and other native species caused by the runoff from the resident's lawns and washing of cars. Are there any blue line streams in the area. He further stated he noticed Schabarum Trail is on the site. Who maintains the trail and what is the impact of the trail upon the hillsides that are being modified. On Page A-22, the EIR says that no wildlife movement was studied and in another section it states that there is a wildlife corridor. These statements are in conflict. If a study is not conducted, how can the report determine there is no wildlife corridor. On Page A-25, the EIR states that the Catalina Mariposa Lily may be present. Is it or isn't it? If there was a detailed study conducted, he stated he would like to know if such things exist and what the impact might be. He further asked about the impact to the City and to the homeowners if the project does not annex to "The Country Estates". Does the City have any obligation to provide for private homeowners or private residential communities to April 6, 1995 page 12 improve their lot. EIR Volume II, Appendix E-1, #3, states that the addition of berms to prevent water from spilling over the face of the slope is important. He asked how the berms are going to be maintained. The EIR discusses erecting walls and that the drainage should be back to the street. In D.B., a wall of six feet or less does not require a permit. How does the City know the walls are being built and what is the impact when the walls are built. Although the EIR indicates no trees shall be planted on the hillsides, the map shows that trees will be planted on the hillsides. What about slope maintenance areas and are the hillsides being planted or are they not being planted. He asked for an explanation of boring vermin and their impact on the site. With regard to the damaged streets in 'The Country Estates", he stated that those are private streets and it is a private matter between the developer and owner of the streets. If the streets are open to public access, then the Council could make a recommendation in support of street repair. VC/Huff expressed concern with the amount of dirt that will be rearranged at the site and the goal to maintain a natural look within that context. The proposed site appears to contain meticulously placed plantings rather than the irregular appearance of a natural site. Although the site proposes to have blended hues of concrete, he indicated he does not recall that this is a part of the current projects. He suggested placing rocks on the site with trees around them for a more natural appearance. With respect to traffic and circulation, according to the revised Draft EIR Volume I, there is no impact. He objected to the proposal of the restriping of D.B. Blvd. to three lanes. C/Fong commented that there is no statement or recommendation in the EIR regarding post construction fill sediment. In addition, he stated that he visited the site and the canyon fill on the west side is for stability. He proposed that a portion of the fill be eliminated and replaced with a shear key along the west side of the project for lots 21 through 26. He indicated he liked Chair/Flamenbaum's suggestion of reducing the number of units and avoiding the fill altogether. He suggested that a condition of approval should be that "a detailed geological mapping and measurement shall be performed during site excavation to confirm the geologic conditions assumed in design and if conditions encountered in the field during construction are different from the conditions during design analysis, that appropriate reanalysis be conducted and that the City Engineer and geotechnical engineer and consultant review the analysis for approval." In addition he suggested that a condition for approval of issuance of a building permit should be that "an as -built geotechnical grading plan showing all limits of engineered fill, compaction tests, stabilization fills, subterranean location and actual geological conditions obtained during site construction and excavation be submitted for review and approval by the City geotechnical consultants. The plan should also show the elevation of final bottom of excavated areas and April 6, 1995 Page 13 shear keys, as well as any required and proven building setbacks as dictated by the geotechnical condition observed during construction." He asked if Harrington re -calculated safety factors for fill slopes (back cuts for stabilization fill using the lower strength parameter) when re -calculating the stability analysis required by Leighton & Assoc. He felt that there was confusion between smectite and bentonite in the report. He believed that bentonite is a clay soil formed from the weathering of volcanic ash and containing a large amount of clay mineral called montmorillonite, which is also called smectite, therefore, montmorillonite and smectite are the same thing. The EIR and the response to the geotechnical questions indicate that the soil is not bentonite but smectite and infers that smectite is a coarser grained material with higher strength. He stated that this may be true for the sample taken in the test which contained greater amounts of stronger constituents; however, in general, the strength of smectite could be much lower if the constituents are weaker. He pointed out that pure smectite is one of the weakest soil materials in existence. He suggested that the vertical down drains be imbedded or buried in a trench under the final graded surface so that they would not be visible. He asked for the basis for the strength of C150 pounds per square foot and 50 degrees. He requested to know the strength parameter used in the adjacent Diamond Ridge tract and wanted to know if Leighton & Assoc. and the developer of Tract 47850 had looked at reports for Diamond Ridge to see if the parameters might be applicable to Tract 47850. He believed that, with proper setbacks and by reducing the number of lots to 37, the grading could be significantly reduced which would minimize the impact to existing vegetation and environment. MPTMlerner was concerned that there is a very generalized discussion of zoning in the EIR and no map showing the zoning as it overlays the site. Currently, three zone categories overlay on the site. These are R-1-8,000, R-1-20,000 and A-2. The A-2 runs co-terminously with the 5 -acre reserved parcel designated NAP (not a part of this project). However, the R-1-8,000 and R-1-20,000 overlay the remainder of the property that is subject to the tract map. The current Draft General Plan designates this entire property (Tract 47850) as RR (Rural Residential) which equates to 1 unit per acre density. The overall project meets this requirement. He requested more specifics on where the zoning falls and where the lot sizes fall in relation to the zoning. Lot sizes range from 20,000 sq. ft. to more than an acre which net down to 15,246 sq. ft. It exceeds the minimum 8,000 sq. ft. lot size, but falls under the 20,000 sq. ft. lot size if it is in that zone. A zoning overlay would address this question. A number of lots in the development are proposed to be less than one acre and average about 1/2 acre. He stated that CDD/DeStefano had advised him that lot averaging is permitted under the City's zoning code. He asked to see the wording of the ordinance that enables the lot averaging to occur. He felt he had a gap of understanding between the conditions for approval for Tract Map No. 47851 and what is April 6, 1995 Page 14 currently pending for the approval of Tract Map No. 47850. Among the issues that the Council relied upon in denial of this project 1 1/2 years ago was objections from at least one property owner to the grading that was proposed to extend beyond the boundaries of the project. He asked what had been done to resolve this issue. He stated it would be helpful to have the Council minutes of previous meetings involving denial of Tract Map No. 47850 so that the issues can be specifically addressed by staff and the developer in order to demonstrate how they have been resolved. He asked that responses to the issues raised by Mr. Smith be presented to Council. C/Miller stated he does not have the geotechnical report and would like a copy in order to formulate his questions which he will put in writing and forward to staff for their response. C/Ansari requested to know why the same amount of grading would be necessary for the project if 15 or 57 homes were placed on this site. She requested written responses to Mr. Smith's questions. She expressed concern about the project because of the amount of movement of dirt, the shear keys and the amount of smectite on the property and what will happen in 10 to 15 years with torrential rains and earth movement. She further stated she would like to see fewer houses built on this site. C/Harmony stated the project was denied for geotechnical aspects. He indicated he respects Comm./Fong's comments and that he expects a complete and full report back to the Council so that, in layman's terms, there is full understanding of Mr. Smith's concerns. He asked for interpretation of the arbitration provision in the Transamerica agreement (TADCO) with "The Country Estates" association as it relates to this project. M/Papen stated that she had reviewed the 31 pages of conditions of approval and did not find a provision for the use of reclaimed water for landscape irrigation or rubberized asphalt and asked if these are now City standards and no longer need to be specified in the conditions of approval. She wanted to be certain that they are included in this project.. She expressed concern about the lack of good faith in the annexation to "The Country Estates." Annexation was not written into Tract 47851; however, during public hearings, it was made very clear by the applicant that it was their intention to annex to "The Country Estates." During 7 years of discussion, the annexation has not happened and the buyers awareness package does not indicate a likelihood of this occurring. She requested that a condition of annexation be included in the conditions of approval with removal of the statement that the developer would not have to annex unless the fees were in excess of those applied to Tract No. 47722. She believed the Council listened to the developer and took them at their word that there would be full annexation and they are selling the previously approved tract April 6, 1995 Page 15 without having annexed and the lack of good faith to the Council is apparent. She stated the following items should be audited for possible changes in Tract No. 47850: 1) The footprint of the home on the pad. On Tract 47851, the minimum side yard setbacks were changed from 10' to 20', 2) The buyer awareness package contains no home diagrams, 3) wildlife and the City's liability; 4) drainage; 5) When does the developer's 5 -yr. tree maintenance program begin. In previous discussions, one of the alternatives in the EIR was that approximately 15 homes would be built on the northeast corner. Several Commissioners and Council members have asked questions about eliminating the grading on the west side while still allowing the development. She stated she had been told there had not been sufficient soils and grading analysis to make such a determination. She was concerned that an alternative in the EIR states that 15 homes will be built on the northeast section; however, if the soil cannot withstand this construction, is the alternative valid. Land form grading techniques being considered apply to the outside of the project with the pads on a plateau. It appears that this is a giant development surrounded 50 ft. below by a wildlife corridor, oak and walnut trees. There is nothing in the specific project that retains the appearance of country. In her opinion, there should be created hills and berms to create a natural corridor to run through the entire project. She indicated that if Lots 47 and 48 were removed, there would be a natural corridor running the length of the project and if lot 24 was removed, the corridor could be extended west, and if a lot was removed from lot 7 to 13, perhaps a "country atmosphere" could be created within the project. MPT/Werner requested that the builder recommend regulations as part of the development code on the RR designated lands to address the building envelope concerns. Responding to M/Papen, Kurt Nelson stated that the developer would be agreeable to the project being returned to the Planning Commission April 24. Further, questions currently raised by Mr. Smith were virtually the same questions raised by him on March 11, which should have been answered at that time. He referred the Council and Commission to the written answers given to Mr. Smith's March 11 questions. He indicated that he, Jack Cameron, and Dan Buffington had several meetings with a subcommittee of "The Country Estates, of which Mr. Greely was a member. "The Country Estates" indicated they were fearful that they might not be able to get the requisite percentage of roads required by their declaration to allow the project to annex. Despite the fact that, as a result of the TADCO agreement, a settlement of approximately $300,000 was paid by D.B. Assoc. (formerly known as Transamerica Developers) to 'The Country Estates" to settle the issue of impact upon the recreational facilities of "The Country Estates". In addition to the lump sum cash payment, a per lot access fee of $3,000 would be paid at the time the lots were developed. There is a covenant that runs April 6, 1995 Page 16 with the land and binds every resident in 'The Country Estates" to the contract. 'The Country Estates" has canceled at least two scheduled meetings regarding annexation. Annexation would generate approximately $800,000 of funds earmarked to enhance "The Country Estates" facilities. Regarding the alleged street damage, Mr. Nelson stated he had suggested retaining a third party paving expert to determine if there had been any damage. Services of a mutually agreed upon third party were retained and a report was presented to 'The Country Estates". He stated "The Country Estates" rejected the offer of recompense. He further stated he was willing to double and triple the amount to get the annexation done at a fair price. He stressed that D.B. Assoc. had acted in good faith and did not believe the project should be required to annex to'The Country Estates" even though they believe it is a good option for the project. If annexation does not occur, there is an arbitration clause contained in the TADCO legal settlement that runs with the land. The City has no legal responsibility to enforce annex- ation. He offered to meet with Comm./Fong, Leighton & Assoc. and Harrington Geotechnical prior to the Planning Commission's April 24 meeting to answer questions concerning geotechnical matters. He believed that there is a condition for approval which addresses reclaimed water, and he is not certain about rubberized asphalt. Regarding the footprints and mansionization, even though annexation had not taken place, there is a good faith review process in place with 'The Country Estates" architectural committee. He stated, to his knowledge, a committee review had been conducted for each house prior to submission to the City's Community Development Department for its review. He further stated that, in his opinion, the idea of elimination of some lots to create a more natural corridor is a good one and could have been considered 2 1/2 years ago; however, the current project conforms to the Council requirements set forth 2 1/2 years ago for this design alternative. The number of lots is fewer than is allowed by the zoning and the current proposed General Plan. As stated in the Master EIR and the recent update revision, fewer lots would not significantly reduce the amount of grading needed to reach an adequate factor of safety set forth by the Council. Smectite is the on-site material, but the design criteria (the parameters of shear strength, etc.) were for materials of lesser strength more in keeping with the bentonite. The safety factors were derived with strength parameters more conservative than industry standards because at 1.50 strength, it is 1 1/2 times stronger than the minimum necessary. Responding to Mr. Hempel, CM/Belanger stated that the Planning Commission would consider the matter April 24 and,May presuming6 or Commission could reach consensus that evening, he suggested Council consideration. A motion was made by MPTNVemer, seconded by C/Ansari to refer Vesting April 6, 1995 Page 17 Tentative Tract Map No. 47850 back to the Planning Commission for reconsideration on April 24, 1995 and continue the matter to May 16, 1995 for Council. Motion was carried unanimously by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - MPT/Werner, Ansari, Harmony, Miller, M/Papen NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None Responding to Chair/Flamenbaum, CM/Belanger responded that the Government Code provides for the Counci I to refer such matters back to the Planning Commission for their comments. The Commission has up to 45 days to make their comments or by a certain date, if directed by the Council. Further response from the Council indicated that the project is being returned to the Planning Commission for review and open to comments with respect to any and all issues. M/Papen stated the applicants' agreement for continuance of the project as stated in the prior motion. It was moved by Comm./Schad and seconded by VC/Huff to continue the meeting to April 24, 1995 for purposes of commenting on the project. This is not a public hearing. Motion carried 4-0 by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COMMISSIONERS - Schad, VC/Huff, Fong, Chair/ Flamenbaum NOES: COMMISSIONERS - None ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS - Meyer 4. ANNOUNCEMENTS: None 5. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to discuss, the meeting was continued to April 24, 1995 for the Planning Commission and May 16, 1995 for the City Council at 10:22 p.m. LYNDA BURGESS, City Clerk ATTEST: Mayor MINUTES OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR REGULAR MEETING OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 27, 1995 CALL TO ORDER Chairman Meyer called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. at the South Coast Air Quality Management Auditorium, 21865 East Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, California. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE The audience was led in the Pledge of Allegiance by Chairman Flamenbaum. ROLL CALL Present: Commissioners: Chairman Flamenbaum, Vice Chairman Huff, Meyer, Schad, Fong. Also Present: Community Development Director James DeStefano; Assistant Planner Ann Lungu; Associate Planner Robert Searcy; Recording Secretary Carol Dennis PRESENTATION: Chair/Flamenbaum presented a plaque to C/Meyer commending him for his services as Planning Commission Chairman for the period June 14, 1993 to February 27, 1995. MATTERS FROM THE AUDIENCE/PUBLIC COMMENTS - None CONSENT CALENDAR: 1. Minutes of March 13, 1995. C/Fong asked that the first sentence, last paragraph on Page 1 be changed to read: "C/Fong stated that he felt adequate deliberation was not made at the last meeting for the Commission to delete the water element from the Draft Resolution, Page 4, Condition #1." A motion was made by C/Meyer and seconded by C/Schad to approve the minutes as amended. The motion was carried 5-0. CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: Chair/Flamenbaum reminded the Commission that he continues to recuse himself from this agenda item and turned the meeting over to VC/Huff. March 27, 1995 Page 2 Planning Commission 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 94-7: A request to locate an unmanned public utility substation for a cellular telecommunication facility at an existing office building located at 3333 Brea Canyon Road, west of the intersection of Diamond Bar Boulevard and Brea Canyon Road. The installation of the facility requires the placement of a 90 foot high steel monopole with three antenna arrays, a microwave dish, and the construction of an enclosure to house the equipment room and emergency generator. Applicant: L.A. Cellular, Box 6028, Cerritos, CA 90702- 6028. Property Owner: Metro Diamond Bar Properties, Inc., 2030 Main #1020, Irvine, CA 92714. AstP/Searcy reported that the applicant requests that the item be tabled. This project was originally presented to the Planning Commission on January 9, 1995, continued to January 13, 1995 and subsequently continued to this meeting. As a result of the recommendation by the Planning Commission, the applicant has been investigating alternative sites. As a result, the applicant may submit a revised application to the Commission. Staff supports the applicant's request to table the item with an indication that the public hearing will be renoticed when the item is brought back to the Planning Commission. VC/Huff declared the public hearing reopened. Dan Hare, L.A. Cellular, stated that he was available to answer questions from the Planning Commission. C/Schad stated that several citizens have indicated they are concerned about the site of the proposed tower. Mr. Hare responded that the applicant created a computer model of the radio signal based on the topography which supports the school site. A live radio test was concluded last week at that site and the applicant is currently in the process of reviewing the data. If the conclusion is positive, the applicant will request use of the school site. Responding to C/Fong, Mr. Hare stated that although the primary consideration is the school site, they wish to leave all options open until the testing is completed. He indicated that it would be approximately two months before the item would again come before the Commission. Seeing no one else who wished to speak, VC/Huff declared the public hearing closed. March 27, 1995 Page 3 Planning Commission A motion was made by C/Meyer and seconded by C/Schad to table the item. The motion was carried with the following roll call: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS: ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: PUBLIC HEARING - None OLD BUSINESS - None NEW BUSINESS - None INFORMATIONAL ITEMS: Meyer, Schad, Fong, VC/Huff None Chair/Flamenbaum None 1) Planning Commissioners Institute. CDD/DeStefano reported that several members of the Planning Commission and staff attended the meeting last week and staff has provided the Commission with copies of presentation papers provided at that meeting. He asked if the Commissioners have requests to purchase cassette tapes of any of the presentations. 2) Update on Vesting Tentative Tract No. 47850. CDD/DeStefano reported that this is a 57 unit 73 acre site located off of Steeplechase Lane in "The Country Estates". This project was previously before the Planning Commission in November, 1991 and it was last before the City Council in November, 1992. As a result of a settlement agreement between the City and the applicant, a task within the implementation measures is a joint session between the Planning Commission and the City Council for review of the project. Staff has scheduled Thursday, April 6 at 6:30 p.m. at the South Coast Air Quality Management Auditorium for this meeting. The Planning Commission is joining the City Council for the specific purpose of receiving a presentation regarding the applicant's compliance with 24 points that were raised in November, 1992 pertaining to the geotechnical report. In addition, the City Council has requested the Planning Commissioner's comments regarding the project in their capacity as land use advisers to the City Council. Since the public hearing is with the City Council, the Council will review the project in the public hearing setting and move to take action on the item. March 27, 1995 Page 4 Planning commission Responding to Chair/Flamenbaum, CDD/DeStefano stated that the specific purpose of the joint session is to review the applicant's compliance with the 24 points raised in the geotechnical review sheet from the City. The City Council will have the ability to exercise any degree of discretion permitted by the Council through state statute and local ordinances pertaining to approval of the subdivision. The Planning Commission is being asked to provide any comments on the project. CDD/DeStefano asked the Planning Commissioners what they would like their role to be. C/Schad responded that the item has been reviewed by the Planning Commission several times. He indicated he does not feel the Planning Commission can add anything further and sees to reason for the Commissioners to be in attendance. VC/Huff stated he agrees with C/Schad that he sees no useful purpose in the Planning Commission attending. If it is mandated, the Commission needs to attend. If the Planning Commission is to review the project it should be done in an official capacity with the ability to take action. C/Meyer indicated that it is his understanding that the City Council denied the tract because of perceived discrepancies between the geotechnical report and the engineering review. If the Planning Commission through the normal process makes a recommendation on a subdivision, the matter would go to the City Council. If the Council wanted to deviate substantially from the recommendation of the Planning Commission the Council would send the item back to the Planning Commission for deliberation. The Planning Commission would rehear the item with direction from the City Council and would have a specified amount of time to return a revised recommendation to the City Council. In his opinion, this process is being condensed into a joint session. He stated he does not understand why the Planning Commission is involved in the joint session. C/Fong stated his comments are similar to those of C/Meyer. Chair/Flamenbaum asked CDD/DeStefano to convey the Commission's concerns to the City Manager and the City Council prior to the joint session and advise what is expected of the Planning Commission. CDD/DeStefano responded that he would relay the concerns of the Commissioners to the appropriate March 27, 1995 Page 5 Planning Commission parties and attempt to clarify the purpose for attendance by the Planning Commission. 3) Status Report on Draft General Plan CDD/DeStefano reported that the City Council last discussed this project on March 6, 1995. The Council deliberated on the Land Use Element and directed staff and the consultants to make the changes necessary to compile a final draft for distribution for public review. Staff intends to have the document ready for nd of the week of Mar pblication by the eCommission stated there may be a need for Planning review of some items that may have changed. Monday, April 10, 1995 is scheduled for Planning Commission review. City Council has stated that once the document is published and 30 days has elapsed for public review, the Council will review the document the week of May 8. Staff anticipates orith of he document be adopted sometime during ioa 1995. Chair/Flamenbaum requested that the commissioners 9joint session advise him of the plans to attend the April 6, meeting regarding Vesting Tentative Tract No. 47850. He suggested that any Commissioner not attending the meeting could forward his comments to Chair/Flamenbaum or to CDD/DeStefano. PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS: The Commissioners thanked the staff for coordinating their attendance at the Planners Institute. Responding to C/Fong, CDD/DeStefano stated that the City is attempting to schedule a meeting with Chino Hills and Brea to discuss transportation related issues that effect the three cities. The City Council discussed the Chino Hills letter in January and as a result of the Countcri re w re ea of the letter and the Circulation Element, number of changes made to the Circulation Element.d back Yk of the revised Circulation Element is being to Chino Hills with reference to their letter of Novee ember. There is a significant disagreement among ties with respect to the use of road through Tonn rCanyon. Chino Hills is seeking a Scenic Highway designation i for lity Carbon Canyon Road in an attempt ac limit the a result of of being widened to increase caepa Cany. on now loops rather Chino Hill's General Plan, Soqu Y than connecting with Brea Canyon's version the Canyon. Chino Hill's General Plan indicates a Tonner Canyon Road through the center of the valley floor. March 27, 1995 Page 6 Planning Commission Chair/Flamenbaum asked staff for a schedule of events for the next few months. CDD/DeStefano stated that the items scheduled for April 10 are the General Plan, the Intercommunity hospital secondary road study and a review of the proposed signage for all City parks. The only item currently scheduled for April 24 is a four lot subdivision on two and one-half acres across from the JCC Development project on Steeplechase Lane terminating at Hawkwood Road. Chair/ Flamenbaum requested that the Diamond Ranch High School road alignment be agendized for a future Planning Commission meeting. C/Schad thanked Steven Nice for assisting him in a tree planting program on Sunday, March 26 at Petersen Park. He stated that with the participation of approximately 40 students from Maple Hill School they planted 60 oak trees and it wild cherry plants. ANNOUNCEMENTS - None Chair/ Flamenbaum, declared the meeting adjourned at 7:53 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, /G/ JamAc ne-gi-efano James DeStefano Community Development Director Attest: /s/ Bruce Flamenbaum Bruce Flamenbaum Chairman CITY OF DIAMOND BAR MINUTES OF THE TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION MARCH 9, 1995 CALL TO ORDER Chairman Ortiz called the meeting to order at 7:02 p.m. at the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Hearing Room, 21865 East Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, California. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE The audience was led in the Pledge of Allegiance by Chairman Ortiz. ROLL CALL Commissioners: Chairman Ortiz, Vice Chairman Istik, Chavers, Leonard Excused: Gravdahl Staff: Senior Engineer, David Liu; Consultant Engineer, Michael Myers; Administrative Assistant, Tseday Aberra; Sergeant Rawlings; and Recording Secretary, Carol Dennis Chair/Ortiz welcomed Commissioner Joyce Leonard. C/Leonard stated that she has been a Diamond Bar resident for 16 years. She stated that she currently holds a Real Estate Broker's license and is affiliated with Re -Max Realtors. I. APPROVAL OF MINUTES 1. Meeting of February 9, 1995. C/Chavers indicated he is abstaining from approval of the minutes due to his absence from the February 9 Traffic and Transportation Commission meeting. VC/Istik questioned the approval of the minutes of the December 8, 1994 Traffic and Transportation meeting. He stated he was a few minutes late and that was voted on 2- 0. He asked if 2-0 constitutes approval of the minutes. SE/Liu responded that three commissioners were present and that two constitutes a majority of those present. Regarding the February 9, 1995 Traffic and Transportation Commission minutes, VC/Istik submitted the following corrections: 1) Page 4, sixth paragraph, fourth line, change "adequate" to "advisable" so that the sentence reads: "Some streets should have been designed as Residential Collectors with no houses facing the March 9, 1995 Page 2 T&T Commission street and because of this he feels it would be advisable.to tell people the grade of the street." 2) On Page 7, VII. Status of Previous Action Items, he stated that the discussion of why the item had not been before the City Council is close to what was discussed at that time. 3) Regarding Page 8, second paragraph, he stated that there was a discussion regarding receipt of the City Council packets and since that time, he has been receiving them on time. He indicated he also stated at that meeting that Commissioner Chavers had indicated that he was receiving his packet sometimes on the Wednesday following the meeting. He stated he indicated on February 9 that was not reflected in those previous minutes and ironically, neither was it included in the minutes of February 9, 1995 so he asked that the comment be added if it is something that C/Chavers said. C/Chavers stated that he received this week's Council Meeting notice in yesterday's mail. VC/Istick stated he received his the same day. It was postmarked Santa Ana and dated -March 3. 4) With respect to the third paragraph on Page 8, VC/Istick stated that was somewhat summarized. There was nothing in the minutes besides a vote on his part on those two issues. He feels strongly about this and has talked to the representative of the Evangelical Free Church and two Commissioners who are present tonight about whether or not he had something to say and if they recall any discussion on that part and they do. So that goes back to his statement on February 9 about the minutes being condensed or summarized or are some parts being cut out and he objects to some parts being cut out. 5) Regarding Page 9, paragraph five, what he recalls is SE/Liu stating "Here are the rules that were forwarded by Mayor Papen" and he further asked the question, "would you want to receive the rules once a year or in every packet?" And in response to that, he stated that he didn't think it was necessary to include the rules in every packet. He March 9, 1995 Page 3 T&T Commission stated he wants to leave in the question that was asked. A motion was made by VC/Istik and seconded by Chair/Ortiz to postpone approval of the minutes until the revisions are made. VC/Istik would like to see the revised minutes. The motion was approved with the following roll call: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: VC/Istik, Chair/Ortiz NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: Chavers, Leonard ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: Gravdahl II. COMMISSION COMMENTS C/Chavers stated he was able to get one copy of a handout regarding the Chino Valley Freeway. He further stated that many are pinning their hopes that when the freeway segment is improved there will be improvements to traffic conditions in Diamond Bar. C/Chavers stated that he noted with interest that the traffic signals at Golden Springs Drive/Golden Prados Drive and Golden Springs Drive/ Prospectors Road and Golden Springs Drive/Carpio Drive were on the agenda. He asked if those were authorized by Council to be constructed. SE/Liu responded that Council has authorized these projects as this year's capital improvement projects. C/Chavers commented that the City is now looking at another fiscal year and he believes those particular signals were a part of the 1994/1995 fiscal year and since the City is now approaching 1995/1996 it is his understanding that the City Council will put money into the budget for more traffic signals in fiscal year 1995/1996. He stated he would like to see efforts expedited to get the upcoming signals that are programmed into the budget identified, get the Council to approve them, get the designs put together and move as fast as possible. If there are funds available for 1995/1996 he would like to see it spent early in the fiscal year and have the benefit of the new equipment. He asked staff to update the Commission on the warrant information available, the current rankings, and what new intersections are coming to light. He indicated that he had witnessed an accident at Diamond Bar Boulevard and Goldrush Drive. He believes there are some very real concerns regarding this intersection and wants them addressed and acted upon as quickly as possible. March 9, 1995 Page 4 T&T Commission SE/Liu responded that with respect to the traffic signals for the next fiscal year the City is currently conducting traffic signal warrant studies at 10 intersections. These are: Diamond Bar Boulevard at Tin Drive, Goldrush Drive, Silverhawk Drive, Acacia Hill and Palomino Drive; Golden Springs Drive at Calbourne Drive and Raquet Club Road; Pathfinder Road at Peacefull Hills Road; and Sunset Crossing Road at the southbound SR 57. The warrant studies should be completed in approximately three weeks and with the conclusion of the studies, staff will bring this back to the Traffic and Transportation Commission meeting as an agenda item. With the blessing from the Commission, this will be forwarded to the Council for budget approval. Chair/Ortiz asked for a report on bike lane striping. SE/Liu stated that one of the concerns raised by a resident is whether the bike lane line should be dashed when it approaches a private driveway. According to the CalTrans standard, "the bike lane line may either be dropped entirely approximately 200 feet in advance of the intersection or a dash line carried to the intersection or through the intersection". With respect to the definition of an intersection, staff believes that this can be interpreted to mean a public street. He indicated that at this time, staff is not aware of any specific requirements in the code. Responding to Chair/Ortiz, SE/Liu stated that the driveway opposite Montefino at Diamond Bar Boulevard is a private driveway. VC/Istik stated that the SR 57 Freeway southbound on/off ramp at Sunset Crossing is under the jurisdiction of and should be funded by CalTrans. He further stated that CalTrans would probably let the City go in and pay the entire cost but since it is used to a great degree for eastbound SR 60 access it might be appropriate to ask CalTrans to think about funding a portion or all of the project. He asked to see the warrant study for Prospectors Road at Golden Springs Drive. SE/Liu responded that he would include the warrant study as part of the April Traffic and Transportation Commission packet. VC/Istik stated that would be agreeable. III. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Craig Clute, 21217 Fountain Springs Road, asked what the City's involvement is and how effective it might be in expressing its concerns to CalTrans. He is concerned with March 9, 1995 Page 5 T&T Commission sound walls and the type of construction and design pattern the soundwall might have. He stated he would not like to see all of the greenery removed from the Diamond Bar Boulevard and Pathfinder Road location just to accommodate a sound wall. Responding to Mr. Clute, SE/Liu stated that the City gets involved in the environmental process. Public meetings are conducted prior to the project approval. In response to Chair/Ortiz, SE/Liu stated that the March 8 Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) meeting was a workshop dealing with the Long Range Transportation Plan. LACMTA is soliciting public input for the Los Angeles County plan. C/Chavers stated that the project Mr. Clute is referring to has been funded for several years and it was moved up through efforts by Mayor Papen. The design is near completion. The Project Development Coordinator is Lu Quan. The City can give its input, however, CalTrans is not obligated to ask for input from the City. CalTrans will meet the letter of the law when it comes to the Environmental Impact requirements and the Mitigation Measures. In order to widen the freeway and add the lane, sound walls were a necessary mitigation measure under the EIR and CalTrans will build them. If any City wants to coordinate with CalTrans the City must proactively seek a relationship with CalTrans. With respect to this specific sound wall, CalTrans is widening the freeway from south of the Diamond Bar Boulevard off -ramp eight. to 12 feet and north of Diamond Bar Boulevard moving up and over the bridge and before it catches grade again somewhere around the Pathfinder Road interchange, pushing the freeway out. In order to retain the fill land they will install a retaining wall with a sound wall on top of it and the greenery will be destroyed. He anticipates the wall will be plain concrete with a very plain masonry wall. CalTrans may ask the City to pay for anything additional to make the wall architecturally and aesthetically pleasing. There are never any public meetings for construction design. The public meetings were held during the Environmental Impact review which was done approximately six years ago about the time the City incorporated. C/Chavers suggested that Mr. Clute contact CalTrans in coordination with City staff to determine what they are doing for the landscaping, retaining wall and block wall. Mr. Clute asked if CalTrans has plans to widen the Grand Avenue ramps. SE/Liu responded that he has no information for March 9, 1995 Page 6 TiT Commission that location. C/Chavers stated that it is a separate project. CalTrans divides things into design and construction packages. The SR 57 south of the SR 60 split will be one package. What happens in the SR 57/SR 60 confluence and the SR 60 extending up over the hill into Pomona will be a second design and construction package. He offered his services to staff with regard to contacting people at CalTrans. SE/Liu provided Mr. clute with a copy of the Executive summary from the March 8, 1995 MTA Long Range Transportation Plan workshop. IV. CONSENT CALENDAR: - None V. OLD BUSINESS: A. Neighborhood Traffic Management Study. SE/Liu reported that to resolve the traffic problems in a systematic areawide approach with the consensus approval of the community for the triangle area bounded by Pathfinder Road to the north, Diamond Bar Boulevard to the east and Brea Canyon Road to the west. DKS and staff have developed the proposed correspondence and the questionnaire that will be sent to the residents next week. Staff would like for the Commission to concur with the enclosures. There are approximately 500 residents in the area who will receive this mailing and they will have at least four weeks to respond. Staff is also requesting that the April Traffic and Transportation Commission meeting be a joint meeting and workshop with the neighborhood residents for this study. Responding to Chair/Ortiz, SE/Liu indicated that in addition to the workshop there are several items scheduled for the meeting agenda. Chair/Ortiz recommended two meetings for April with one meeting designated for the workshop only. C/Chavers stated he is comfortable with two meetings. As an alternative he would be agreeable to starting the meeting at 6:00 P.M. with the regular business being conducted in the first hour. The public workshop could be opened at 7:00 p.m. and a second meeting could be scheduled if needed. Page March 9, 1995 Pa e 7 T&T Commission vC/Istik stated he would like to have one meeting. C/Leonard indicated she would agree with one meeting starting at 6:00 p.m. Chair/Ortiz stated the next meeting would begin at 6:00 p.m. as opposed to 7:00 P.M. SE/Liu asked for Commission input with respect to the mailer which will be sent out next week. vC/Istik stated that at the February 9 Traffic and Transportation meeting it was brought up under "Old Business" that this item would come before the Traffic and Transportation Commission for approval at this meeting. Responding to VC/Istik, SE/Liu stated that DKS Associates has completed approximately 25% of the study. The Diamond Bar Boulevard project has been completed and DKS Associates has completed a review of the existing data for the neighborhood traffic management study. VC/Istik suggested that the residents could be told the key issues the City is looking for and that these items could be highlighted. C/Leonard indicated that she approves of the question- naire as written. C/Chavers stated that Item 14 on the questionnaire seems to be a fairly technical statement. He suggested that the item be rephrased to encourage a layman's response. He feels the questionnaire might lead people to exaggerate and therefore not elicit real opinions and he encouraged staf f to work with DKS to f ind a more open ended way to ask these questions. VC/Istik suggested that on Item #3 people could be encouraged to use a relative importance of 1 to 12. C/Chavers stated that if the residents are asked to rank the items in order of importance from 1 to 12 then they have been asked to provide a measure of importance. VC/Istik explained that he was involved with astudy wherein some people listed all items as a problem they put all 10's only to find out later when the responses were averaged there was absolutely no input to March 9, 1995 Page B T&T Commission the final result. Chair/Ortiz suggested that an example of how the questionnaire is to be completed should be included on the form. A motion was made by C/Chavers and seconded by C/Leonard to have staff work with the consultant to incorporate, where possible, the comments by the Commission and get the questionnaire out to the public. The motion wa's approved 4-0 with the following roll call: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS: ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: Chavers, Leonard, vC/Istik, Chair/Ortiz None None Gravdahl Mr. Clute suggested that owners and renters and the Country Hills Town Center Management Company, the school district and the school crossing guard company should be invited to the meeting. VI. NEW BUSINESS A. Request for multi -way stop sign warrant analysis on Palomino Drive between Diamond Bar Boulevard and Ballena Drive. AA/Aberra reported that the Department of Public Works continues to receive complaints about speeding on Palomino Drive. In the past, the Commission has discussed the feasibility of installing stop signs on Palomino Drive. Staff is requesting input from the Commission and asking that the Commission concur with staff's recommendation to conduct a warrant study for a three-way stop sign on Palomino Drive at Ballena Drive and Platina Drive. VC/Istik stated he would concur with the recommended action. C/Leonard stated she would also concur with the recommendation. C/Chavers indicated that there is a traffic signal warrant study being conducted on Diamond Bar Boulevard at March 9. 1995 Page 9 TiT Commission Palomino Drive. The information would be beneficial to have as part of this study and he is concerned that a three-way stop is treating the symptom rather than curing the disease. He is concerned about even considering a traff is signal at Palomino given how closely it is spaced to the SR 60/Diamond Bar Boulevard interchange. Perhaps the Palomino Drive/Diamond Bar Boulevard intersection should be viewed as to how the problem is fixed as opposed to putting stop signs down on Palomino Drive at Ballena Drive and Platina Drive. He sugg be there are geometric configurations where the access could be limited at the Diamond Bar Boulevardn ctnon.. Perhaps it could be made a right- in/right-out y Perhaps it could be made left -in and not allow left turns out. Some of those things would start to He change ed the traffic pattern fairly dramatically. supports the idea that the warrant analysis be done but he would like for an accompanying analysis to be done of the intersection of Diamond Bar Boulevard and Palomino Drive to see if there isn't another option. A motion was made by C/Chavers and seconded by VC/Istik to approve staff's recommendation to conduct multi -way stop sign warrant analysis on Palomino Drive at Ballena Drive and at Platina Drive and that staff concurrently investigate ways to improve the intersection of Diamond Bar Boulevard/ Palomino Drive. The motion was approved 4 0 with the following roll call: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: C/Chavers, VC/Istik, C/Leonard, Chair/Ortiz NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: C/Gravdahl B. Request by Jones Intercable to remove the existing red curb on both sides of their second driveway on Brea Canyon Road. SE/Liu stated that at the February Traffic and Transportation Commission meeting the Commission requested that staff work with the business owner to see if there might be any alternative solutions for the loading/unloading condition that exists. Staff has determined that the Jones Intercable business office and March 9, 1995 Page 10 T&T COmmissiOA the auto body shop are part of the same structure. The Jones Intercable facility is approximately 19,400 square feet of floor area. Jones Intercable has 31 employees on an average daily basis and 34 employees who work outside the facility for a total of 65 employees. The auto body shop employs two people. According to the City's Planning and Zoning Code, the parking requirement f ora he structure is 48. There are currently 34 parking Street es in a parking lot which is accessed from Lycoming and an additional 22 spaces are provided in the parking lot which is accessed from Brea Canyon Road. This gives a total of 56 parking spaces which exceeds the requirement of 48. Staff has been in contact with several people at Jones Intercable and tonighttheir representative is present with a suggestion that until resolution to this situation. Staff suggests the on-site parking facilities are fully further consider utilizedcity should not grant any Therefore, staff recommends that the Commission deny the to work with Jones Intercable to request and continue assist them in better utilizing their on-site parking facility. Janet Spatz, General Manager of Jones Intercable and resident of Diamond Bar, stated that she fully expected the Commission to deny their request based on prior comments by the Commissioners. She indicated that due to the shifting during the day, the current parking facility is empty part of the day. What the company has done is to identify certain spaces in the parking lot that are not used until the afternoon or evening shift by painting them with different striping so the trucks will be able to use those spaces in the morning hours. She stated they are not certain how effective this will be, however, they are trying to use this method to solve their own t problem. She indicated they would like the opportunity to return to the Commission if this solution is not workable. She stated some trucks will still be on the street somewhat, however, much more of the traffic will be off of the street. VC/Istik asked Ms. Spatz if Jones Intercable is withdrawing their request. Ms. Spatz re withdrawingndoed f permanently". She indicated that they a their request for the time being but they might wish to return to the Commission if this solution doesn't work. March 9, 1995 Page 11 TAT commission VC/Istik stated he felt strongly about the issue. Certainly with the testimony for parking and loading and not somng ething the street set precedent on the st and on if tsalllde, it is possible. not somet g Ms. Spatz stated she would withdraw the request for the time being. flect Chair/Ortiz asked that the 11 Commission comments s bees• Spatz stopped. request C. Request by a resident to install flashing beacons or pedestrian signal with a crosswalk on Diamond Bar Boulevard at Quail Summit Drive. SE/Liu stated that staff recommends that the Commission discuss this matter and concur with staff to conduct a warrant study on Diamond Bar Boulevard at Quail Summit Drive to ascertain if a pedestrian crosswalk with flashing beacon or pedestrian signal is warranted. VC/Istik stated that having tried to cross there he agrees with staff's recommendation. C/Chavers stated that he views these types of solutions with a great arranted at that location. wonders if a signal might be C/Leonard stated that at the minimum the location should have a pedestrian crosswalk. She indicated she feels a traffic signal might better serve the area and at the minimum she would vote for a warrant study. C/Chavers asked if it would be possible to do both warrantsavailable. ly so SE/Liut the Commission statedaff would comply the data with C/Chavers request. VC/Istik stated he has been involved recently with two a stopped flashing beacons in Walnut and so far they the number of accidents on Grand Avenue. Chair/Ortiz stated that crosswalks are false barriers without educating the pedestrians and gement some kind essence, they are not safe. He suggested the City imp of educational program to notify the proper method for using crosswalks. March 9, 1995 Page 12 T&T Commission Responding to Chair/Ortiz, Sgt. Rawlings stated that upon request of a school the Crime Prevention Unit will give presentations on traffic safety. In response to C/Chavers, Sgt. Rawlings stated that Deputy Bryant teaches the Traffic Safety program. His how to use agenda dkss The program s not include teaching includes c crosswa subst nce abuse and gangs, etc. Chair/Ortiz suggested the Commission for school children. edestrian safety education program A motion was made by C/Chavers and seconded by C/Leonard that the Commission concur with staff Is recomimendatio crosswalk a conduct warrant studies regarding ped at Diamond Bar Boulevard at Quail Summit Drive with an amendment to include warrant analysis for traffic signal purposes as well s° make at the evaluation on has all of the available datato VC/Istik asked if C/Chavers included flashing beacons as part of the motion with traffic signals as a third item.

STATUS OF PREVIOUS ACTION ITEMS. A. Installation of stop signs at the Legs of residential T - intersections (Cold Spring Lane at Barbi Lane, Cold Spring Lane at Ambushers Street, and Gold Run Drive at Running Branch Road). SE/Liu stated this item was approved by the City Council on February hould be installed in about a month given995. The work orr will be to the County and SE/Liu further stated that at the February 7, 1995 March 9, 1995 Paqe 13 TAT Commission meeting the City Council awarded the construction contract to Macadee Electric, Inc. for the Golden Springs Drive traffic signals. Construction is scheduled to begin in April and should be completed by June. VIII.ITEMS FROM COMMISSIONERS C/Chavers commended staff on the Diamond Bar Boulevard Rehabilitation Project. VC/Istik asked for a status on the change of speed limits for some of the residential streets from 30 to 25 MPH. SE/Liu responded that this item will likely be agendized for the first week in April. He stated he has conveyed the wishes of the Commission and the City Manager understands this will be included in a future meeting. Staff is currently writing the report. He indicated he will attempt to have the item placed on the March 21 agenda, otherwise it will be on the agenda for April. VC/Istik stated that he favors going back to 25 MPH on the double loaded streets in the City that have a very narrow pavement in each direction. VC/Istik stated he had a handout for the Commission so that they could see what kind of report C/Chavers makes when he is making a presentation to another City's City Council. Chair/Ortiz asked VC/Istik to make a copy for staff. C/Chavers stated it clearly presents what kind of records can be kept in the way of meeting minutes. He indicated in some instances City's he presents to will say "applicant presentation made by Todd Chavers" and he may have talked for 30 minutes and answered 30 minutes of questions. Other times he sees very complete meeting minutes like the one VC/Istik has handed out. He encouraged the Commission and staff to look at the handout from that perspective and get a feel for whether or not this is a direction the Commission might take. Chair/Ortiz stated that this is a further strengthening of VC/Istik's comments on meeting minutes that they should be complete and concise. C/Chavers stated that he would use the term "salient". VC/Chavers indicated that he had expressed some rather harsh March 9, 1995 Page 14 T&T Commission words because he was upset. He does not think it is the place of the City Manager to stand between an advisory body and the Council that appointed that advisory body. He stated he has never seen anything like that reflected in the meeting minutes. He further stated that he is certain that his words were strong enough that they came through on the tape. He is troubled that some things that he thinks should be there and are salient are not getting included. He indicated he is not sure he has the answer as to how to do that but this is a good place to look at it and see if this is a better direction to go. He stated he thinks we do a good job, we can always do better. Chair/Ortiz stated he remembers the meeting. Chair/Ortiz inquired Sgt. Rawlings about the Sheriff's Department policy on stop signs. He asked if enforcement begins the minute the stop signs are installed or if there a grace period. Responding to Chair/Ortiz, Sgt. Rawlings responded that there is no written policy regarding stops sign enforcement. Under hazardous situations, enforcement should begin immediately for safety reasons. With respect to the recently installed stop signs on Brea Canyon Road at Cold Springs Lane, he stated the Sheriff's Department was asked to issue warnings for the first week. For non -hazardous changes in the law there is a procedure to give a grace period. Chair/Ortiz stated that during weddings and funerals there are usually about 20 cars parked along the red curb at St. Denis. Even though there are citations being issued by the Sheriff's Department, staff should generate a letter to St. Denis stating that when there are funerals or special events, they instruct the parties that are going to use the grounds that they will be cited for illegal parking. Sgt. Rawlings stated that the Sheriff's Department is writing citations there. IX. ITEMS FROM STAFF SE/Liu stated that the Commission is required to elect a Chairperson and Vice Chairperson for a term of one year at its first regular meeting of March. He suggested that this item be agendized for the April meeting. CE/Myers presented the Commission with a copy of the preliminary design report for the Golden Springs Drive Bike March 9, 1995 Page 15 T&T Commission Lane project. He said the item will go before the City Council in April with a request for authorization to solicit bids. The item will then be returned to the Council in May with a request for authorization to award a contract. Construction is scheduled to begin the middle of May and to be completed the middle of June. This project and schedule is expending some third year SBA 821 fund before they are lost. At first blush the project seemed very straight forward. Upon detail study, some complications did arise. The parking as it exists in the northern end, particularly from Sylvan Glen Road to Temple Avenue, makes it very difficult if not impossible to fit all of the traffic lanes, bicycle lanes, parking lanes and turn lanes into a 64 foot roadway. Staff recommends and is proceeding to defer this portion to a second phase improvement project allowing more time for study. The first phase will be the introduction of the bicycle lane each side of Golden Springs Drive from Diamond Bar Boulevard to Sylvan Glen Road. Primarily this is a striping project. The portion of Golden Springs Drive from Platina Drive to Diamond Bar Boulevard is currently two to three hundred feet of posted "No Stopping". CE/Myers asked that the "No Stopping Any Time" on Golden Springs Drive from Diamond Bar Boulevard to Sylvan Glen Road issue be agendized for the April Traffic and Transportation Commission meeting and return to the April City Council meeting for recommendation for authorization to advertise. CE/Myers indicated he can anticipate the public concern about no -stopping because it does remove a number of parking spaces that are approximate to the school on Golden Springs Drive. The overall available supply of curb parking spaces would not be diminished below what is necessary to provide pickup and delivery, although there is some inconvenience involved. Most parents prefer to use the Golden Springs Drive frontage road and Ballena Drive for loading and unloading. All of the other immediately adjacent land uses do not take direct access from Golden Springs Drive and do not appear to have pedestrian or useable access but take access from the side streets or the frontage roads. C/Chavers asked why this was presented as an informational item rather than an agenda item. CE/Myers responded the design report was completed only over the last week and was not ready for presentation at the time the agenda was prepared for the Commission. C/Chavers asked if staff would intend to have a public meeting March 9, 1995 Page 16 T&T commission in the hour prior to the public workshop at the next meeting. CE/Myers responded that that is his recommendation. C/Chavers asked if there has been a meeting scheduled with the principal of Golden Springs Elementary School. CE/Myers responded that prior to the next meeting he would do that. There are no prepared plans available at this time. That will occur over the next two to three weeks. C/Chavers stated that there are no separate left turn lanes at Golden Springs Drive and High Knob Road. Since there are two different street configurations on Golden Springs Drive will staff consider using what is at the north end as a template bringing that to the south end. He asked how badly does the City need left turn lanes and will that be a part of the analysis. CE/Myers responded that it has not been a part of the analysis on Phase I. The intention was to perpetuate the turning lanes that are currently in existence. The reason for Phase II is because there are many more issues to be dealt with than appeared at the outset of the project. C/Chavers stated that it is inevitable that someone will say, "rather than lose the parking in front of the school, why not do it like it is up north?". The Commission and staff need to be prepared to answer that question prior to embarking upon a public meeting or the Commission will look very foolish. He encourage CE/Myers to meet with the principal, Mr. Mangham and Kathy Nolan, the head of the PTA at the school. vC/Istik stated that the school district can use the streets for drop off and in so doing, it takes away the original use for which the street was intended and that is to move people. C/Leonard asked for clarification that the Phase I is primarily the "no stopping" issue and Phase II is for construction of the bike lanes. CE/Myers responded that Phase II is to primarily be able to construct a bicycle lane from Diamond Bar Boulevard to Sylvan Glen Road on both sides of the roadway. The most significant complication is the necessity to install "No Stopping Any Time" in areas which now enjoy parking and particularly in front of the school. Chair/Ortiz asked if funds were available for a bicycle safety program for the local schools. CE/Myers responded that he believes the funds are for constructing bicycle and pedestrian facilities and improvements. He is not aware of funds for educational programs. SE/Liu reiterated that the SB 821 funds are not available for educational programs. Sgt. Rawlings stated the Sheriff's Department could conduct educational March 9, 1995 Page 17 T&T Commission programs upon request. The Crime Prevention Deputy that the City has under contract could perform those duties. Chair/Ortiz asked staff to look into have this service performed at the local schools. C/Chavers asked if it changed the City's O&M and if the City has to sweep the bike lanes more often and keep them clean so that people will use them and does the street lighting have to be changed in any way to accommodate the bike lane users. CE/Myers responded that he is not aware of any requirement for additional street lighting. Responding to C/Chavers, Sgt. Rawlings stated that the Sheriff's Department has pamphlets that address bicycle safety and the text could be used in City publications. Responding to Chair/Ortiz, CE/Myers stated he needs no action from the Commission this evening and asked if the Commission wishes to agendize this item for its next meeting. C/Leonard asked if the agenda items could be accomplished in the hour preceding the workshop. SE/Liu responded that he believed it could be done. C/Chavers stated he does not believe an hour will be sufficient for the regular meeting agenda and would prefer a meeting the week prior to the workshop meeting. Chair/Ortiz stated he agrees with C/Chavers. SE/Liu suggested that the regular meeting could begin at 6:00 p.m. and the workshop could begin at 7:30 or 8:00 p.m. VC/Istik stated written comments could be accepted if people have plans to be out of town. SE/Liu indicated that the residents will have three and one- half weeks to give their responses. He suggested that the workshop could be moved to April 6. C/Chavers stated he thought there was more urgency with respect to the bike lanes. His preference would be to conduct the regular meeting on April 6 and have the workshop on April 13. C/Chavers indicated that he is concerned with the appearance Page March 9, 1995 Pa a is TST Commission of bringing an unagendized item before the Commission so that the report to the Council can say staff ran it by the Traffic and Transportation Commission and feels this would put the Commission in a very embarrassing position. VC/Istik stated he would hope that reports handed out at the meeting are not forwarded to Council as reviewed items. C/Chavers stated that the process leaves him very uncomfortable. He indicated he can see people showing up for a meeting asking why the Commission is bothering to have a public meeting when the Council has already approved the item. CE/Myers stated that the authorization to bid could be moved to the April 18 City Council meeting and the award contract could be moved to the second Council meeting in May. C/Chavers stated the Commission could hold its public meeting on March 30 which would put the item ahead of the Council meeting. VC/Istik suggested that if the Commission is having a separate meeting and it is being done based on something the Council has already talked about he would rather not have the meeting or meet sooner. C/Chavers suggested March 30 for the public meeting. Without objection, the Commission concurred. CE/Myers responded that he would have substantially completed plans and specifications. VC/Istik asked if the 30 MPH to 25 MPH streets that the Commission voted on in December could be forwarded to the Council. He stated he is concerned with what was discussed at the last meeting about the item being put off until after the General Plan is adopted. CE/Myers responded that it might be appropriate for a member of the Commission work directly with the Mayor and reiterated the importance of putting this matter before the City Council. There has been a lot of businesses before the City Council. The agenda is created, set and published by the City Manager and the Mayor. SE/Liu reiterated that the City Manager is aware of this item and has given him direction to proceed and staff is compiling the information which will be forwarded to the City Council on March 21 or April 4. C/Leonard stated her willingness to speak with the Mayor March 9, 1995 Page 19 T&T Commission regarding the item. vC/Istik responded that he does not want to hang something on the timing of the General Plan. There has been testimony from Mr. Clute this evening and others have spoken regarding the item and there has been concurrence from Sgt. Rawlings to take the 30 MPH down to 25 MPH where it used to be. SE/Liu recommended that the meeting be adjourned to March 30, 1995 at 7:00 p.m. at the south Coast Air Quality Management District Building and the room number will be determined. Chair/Ortiz requested that staff provide an updated list of all Commissioners with their names, telephone numbers, addresses and their appointors. SE/Liu responded since there will be a reorganization of the Traffic and Transportation Commission, the list will be provided following that meeting with the updated information. X.

Usher, Assistant City Manager TITLE: Award of Contract to Charles Abbott and Associates to Provide Street Maintenance Services in the City of Diamond Bar. SUMMARY: On March 30, 1995, a Request for Proposal for Contract Maintenance Services was distributed to six firms. Three proposals were submitted on April 14, 1995 and the lowest responsible proposer was Charles Abbott and Associates of Torrance. In guaranteeing a high level, timely and cost effective street maintenance service to the Diamond Bar Community, staff believe Charles Abbott and Associates represents the best qualified choice. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council award a five-year contract to Charles Abbott and Associates to provide Street Maintenance Services in Diamond Bar, subject to completion of the actual contractual documents including a specific work program/plan for Fiscal Year 1995-96. Furthermore, it is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager or his designee to directly administer this Street Maintenance Contract as the Project Administrator.

Belanger Fran sh City Manager Assistant City Manager MEETING DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: ISSUE STATEMENT vrr� cvvrrciL iii -viz r AGENDA NO. May 2, 1995 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Terrence L. Belanger, City Manager Award of Contract to Charles Abbott and Associates to provide Street Maintenance Services in the City of Diamond Bar The City desires to provide quality and cost effective street maintenance services for the Diamond Bar Community. On March 30, 1995, a Request for Proposal for Street Maintenance Services was distributed to six firms. 3 proposals were submitted on April 14, 1995 and the lowest responsible proposal was from Charles Abbott and Associates of Torrance. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council award a five-year contract to Charles Abbott and Associates to provide Street Maintenance Services in Diamond Bar, subject to completion of the actual contractual documents including a specific work program/plan for Fiscal Year 1995-96. Furthermore, it is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager or his designee to directly administer this Street Maintenance Contract as the Project Administrator. FINANCIAL SUMMARY For FY 94-95, the budget for the street maintenance related activities totals $351,500. It is anticipated that the budget for FY 95-96 street maintenance activities will not exceed this amount. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION The City of Diamond Bar has been contracting with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works since June 11, 1990 for street maintenance services which includes activities such as routine and emergency street repairs; pothole patching; catch basin cleaning; storm patrol/debris clean- up; curb -gutter -sidewalk inspection and repairs; pavement striping; signage and curb markings. This was a five-year contract and is due to expire on June 30, 1995. At the March 21, 1995 City Council meeting, the City Council authorized the distribution of a Request For Proposal for providing street maintenance services. On March 30, 1995, staff distributed this Request For Proposal to 1)Los Angeles County Department of Public Works; 2)the City of Brea; 3)MCE Corporation from San Ramon 4)Charles Abbott and Associates from Torrance; 5)Hawkins/Mauk-Tell Project Information Services; and 6)Integrated Marking Systems. Staff received three proposals on April 14, 1995 from Los Angeles County, City of Brea and Charles Abbott and Associates. Staff from the City Manager's Office, the Department of Community Services and the Department of Public Works reviewed all three proposals and interviewed all three firms on Tuesday, April 25, 1995. 1 -p-li . MAY 2, 1995 STREET MAINTENANCE CONTRACT upon completion of the interviews, staff agreed that a)due to the County's higher overhead costs, b)because certain work program activities have been difficult to control, and c)because billings for services rendered have not been timely, the existing contract with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works should be allowed to expire on June 30, 1995. Staff believed that the City of Brea's approach to this Street Maintenance Contract appeared to be reactive as opposed to proactive, and needed a greater sense of program planning. Charles Abbott and Associates are offering all of the facets which the City staff Review Committee believe are critical in guaranting a high level, timely and cost effective street maintenance service to the Diamond Bar community. CAA's cost sheet reflects the lowest cost of all three firms for a comparable level of service. As shown in CAA's Exhibit 1, the savings are in excess of $73,000/year when compared to the second lowest firm Brea (See Brews Exhibit 1). CAA proposes to establish a local maintenance yard/office in the City of Diamond Bar on June 1, 1995. CAA will equip this yard with a flatbed truck (with Diamond Bar logo) and other necessary routine street maintenance equipment for use by the two "local" crew -workers whom CAA will hire to work full-time in Diamond Bar, with CAA's longtime street superintendent, who will spend 20 hours a week in Diamond Bar. These individuals will perform routine tasks such as patch potholes, repair signs, install curb markings, respond to citizen calls and inspect streets and sidewalks. Also, whenever possible, CAA has committed themselves to using local subcontractors to perform specialized maintenance work, such as concrete finishing, sign fabrication, pavement striping, etc., at less cost than performance by the County's in-house staff. As part of their review of CAA's proposal, staff contacted the Cities of Laguna Niguel and Rancho Palos Verdes, where CAA has worked in a similar capacity in street maintenance contract services. Both Cities were exceptionally satisfied with CAA's performance and the increased quality of all street maintenance related activities. For the City of Diamond Bar, all street maintenance activities will be co- ordinated with a member of City staff on a weekly basis to ensure accuracy of work program and consistency with budget. Key CAA project staff will be available on a 24-hour basis to ensure that they may be contacted and are capable of responding to critical or emergency situations within minutes of notification. The sub -contractors hired by CAA will also be available on a 24-hour basis to provide street maintenance emergency response services. This arrangement would be an improvement over the City's current emergency coverage by the County, in which the County crews must complete emergency work at the County's priority locations before providing assistance to their contract cities. Currently, the City of Diamond Bar's City Engineering/Public Works services is being performed by Mr. George Wentz (Senior Vice -President of CAA). As a result, to ensure appropriate separation of functions, staff recommends that direct administration of this Street Maintenance Contract be the exclusive responsibility of the City Manager or his designee, thereby preventing any perceived conflict of interest for Mr. Wentz. 2 PAGE 3 MAY 2, 1995 STREET MAINTENANCE CONTRACT The City's Street Maintenance Service Agreement with the County requires that they be notified no later than May 10, 1995 should the City wish to renew the existing Agreement. Without any action of intent, this Agreement will expire on June 30, 1995. In the month of June, CAA staff will implement a transition street maintenance program to ensure continuous street maintenance services during the County's withdrawal. CONCLUSION: Subject to completion of the actual contractual documents including a specific work program/plan for FY 95-96, staff anticipate savings of approximately $50,000 during FY 95-96 by contracting with CAA for street maintenance services. One time start-up costs will be borne by CAA and future year budgets for street maintenance are expected to have annual savings due to efficiencies of CAA as well as competitive bid prices from subcontractors performing the speciality work. 3 X - r iovce GRAND TOTAL = GoFd//in�.v �CtnR/�ss.� � • fLc OPTIONAL BID ITEM ANNUAL QTY UNIT COST TOTAL COST WATER TRUCK HOUR 400 x $55.00 = $22,000.00 7 EXHIBIT 1 G144 CONTRACT SERVICES COST SHEET ' FOR STREET MAINTENANCE SERVICES FOR THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR (A) (B) (C) (D) (C)"(D) UNIT OF ANNUAL UNIT TOTAL ' WORK AMTM-11 S MEASURE QUANTITY COST COST ROAD MAI NTEN, ,NCE I PATC H POT -TOLE SQ.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive and File Report FINANCIAL SUMMARY: $1.47 million dollars in Proposition A - Safe Parks Act funds are available for the design and development of Pantera Park. Construction drawings are being prepared in a manner that will allow the development of the park to be phased, if necessary, to stay within the allocated budget for this project. BACKGROUND: On March 13, 1995, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit No. 94-4, which under County Code, authorizes the City of Diamond Bar to construct Pantera Park. The C.U.P. was issued after the completion of a public workshop process before the Parks and Recreation Commission and public hearing process before the Planning Commission. DISCUSSION: The final design of Pantera Park includes two adult -size softball fields with full size soccer field overlays across the outfields, a tot lot, restroom/concession building, large on-site parking lot, picnic areas, large multi-purpose hard court area where rollerblade hockey and basketball may be conducted, two additional half -court basketball courts, two tennis courts, trails leading to the existing natural trails up the slope adjacent to the developed park, and lighting for the ball fields, hard court areas and tennis courts, plus security lighting in the parking lot and throughout the park. Construction drawings are now being completed by R.J.M. Design Group. Since the park area includes a large easement for a Los Angeles Council Report Pantera Park Meeting Date: May 2, 1995 Page 2 DISCUSSION: (continued) County debris detention basin, approval of construction drawings must come from Los Angeles County Flood Control. This approval process will add three to four months to the time needed to complete construction drawings. It is anticipated that the Construction drawings will be back before City Council for approval to solicit bids for a construction contractor in late October or early November, 1995. The funds necessary to develop Pantera Park were obtained from a grant funded by Proposition A, the Safe Parks Act. There is $1.47 million dollars available for the design and development of Pantera Park. The construction drawings are being prepared so that the project may be phased, if necessary. Phase I will include the ball fields, tot lot, restroom building, parking lot, picnic areas and rollerblade hockey court. The remaining elements of the park will be developed as funds become available.
