ANALYSIS:
Review Authoritv (Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Sections 22,47 and
22.56
An addition that is over 301 square feet and less than 50 percent of the existing
structure requires a Plot Plan review which is reviewed at the staff level. Changes to an
existing nonconforming structure require tfie approval of a Minor Conditional Use Permit
�n/ICUP) by the Hearing Officer. Because the MCUP application requires approval by
�the Hearing Officer, the Hearing Officer is reviewing the Plot Plan.
Approval of an MCUP and a Plot Plan is required to ensiare compliance with the City's
General Plan policies, Development Standards, and Design Giaidelines to minimize
adverse effects of the proposed project upon the surrounding properties and the City in
general.

, Site and Grading Configuration: The site is on an existing leveled pad and no
grading is required.
Elevations: The existing architectural style is a 1970's tract home design with a hipped
roof, wood siding, stone veneer, concrete roof tile, stucco, and vinyl windows. The
proposed addition will maintain the existing architectural style of the existing residence
and will be consistent with the surrounding architecture of the neighborhood.

completion as indicated in the conditions of approval.
Compatibilitv with Neiqhborhood
The proposed project complies with the gaals and objectives as set forth in the adopted
General Plan in terms of land use and density. The project will not negatively affect the
existing surrounding land uses, and the design and appearance of the proposed single-
family residence is compatible with the surrounding community.
The project is designed to be compatible and complementary to the neighborhood, and
incorporates the prineiples of the City's Residential Design Guidelines as follows:

MATTERS FROM THE AUDIENCE: Jessica Fajardo, Troop Leader, Browriie Troop
#2234, and troop members Isabella Fajardo, and Jasmine Armas, shared that they
were concerned about a falling hazard between the tot lot and the creek at Sycamore
Canyon Park. The girls provided pictures as Ms. Fajardo read the offered suggestions.
They suggested "falling hazard" signage and, better still, a temporary fence to prevent
kids from falling and also to direct foot traffic to a safer access path to the creek side.
The third suggestion, and recommended solution, would be to create a hedge fence.
Ms: Fajardo said that the troop would offer to participate in the acquisition of materials
and/or installation to make Sycamore Canyon Park a safer place.
(New Business Item 4.2 was moved up on the agenda to address the concerns
and suggestions presented)
4. NEW BUSINESS -
4.2 Erosion Control of Sycamore Canyon Park Creek — PMS/Jordan
a. Sycamore Canyon Power Point Presentation
PMS/Jordan stated that, with respect to the area of concern expressed
by the Brownies and to keep water out of the playground, staff is
considering installing a barrier/seating wall. This would serve to
kUGtJST 25, 2011 PAGE 2 P&R COMMISSION
preclude access by a small child into the creek, and it wo�ald also
create a seating surface for parents. Potential temporary fiixes include
signage, snow fence/temporary barrier which would offer on-going
maintenance considerations, vinyl coated 36 to 42" high chain link
fencing, vinyl fence (aesthetically pleasing), and lodge pole fencing
(aesthetically the best solution). Currently, staff is evaluating four
design firm proposals. Because there are no funds set aside for this
project during the current fiscal year, the earliest there would be
funding available would be in fiscal year 2012/2013. A temporary fix
can commence fairly quickly once the decision is made about the
materials with possible assistance from the California Conservation
Corp on the lodge pole fencing. The principal costs would be for the
material. Staff recommends lodge pole fencing. The hedge is a good
solution as well; however, there could be a problem with the time it
would take to grow the hedge. It would take years to get the full
growth benefit from 15 gallon plantings.
Chair/Roberto asked if staff intended to put gabion fencing alang the
creek bed as a permanent solution. CSD/Rose responded no, that the
gabion fence would be at the point of erosion only and the rest would
be left in its natural state for the most part. He went on to share about
15 years ago staff went through this and it is an on-going issue.
PMS/Jordan said that the rate of erosion that the City experiences in
this location is substantially less than what is experienced on the upper
creek. Although the volume of water that moves through this area is
much greater, the area that it flows through is much wider, which in
turn makes the velocity relatively slow and, in the short term, the
erosion of soil would be fairly insignificant.
VC/Herndon stated that it appeared to him that there are boards on the
bridge that prevent the kids frorn falling in and he would feel more
comfortable bringing that fencing around. Even with the lodge pole
fencing kids could climb over or through the lowest rail and although it
may not be as aesthetically pleasing, it would probably be a lot safer.
C/Owens asked if signage would be necessary and/or desirable in
addition to the fencing and PMS/Jordan responded that it could be
done. CSD/Rose stated that from a liability standpoint, this is
considered to be an "open and obvious" issue which has been there
for years and whether it is lodge pole or some other kind of structure,
staff is not necessarily looking at this as a barrier to keep people out.
The area was designed so that people could come in on the other side
af the bridge as well and staff does not plan to block complete access
to the creek. This is one of the recreation elements people enjoy and
use in that park. Whatever material is used woi_ild be to help slow
down individuals and give parents time to react to kids who are trying
to run from the tot lot and not paying close attention to where they are
headed. Staff wants to be very sensitive to the aesthetics of �the park
which is the reason there is nothing in place at this time. The goal was
to keep it an open area. There are two tot lots; one tot lot was
designed for two to five year olds so that they do not have an adjacent
AUGUST 25, 2011 PAGE 3 P&R COMMISSION
drop off. The tot lot in question is designed for five to 12 year olds and
five year o(d kids have more skills and are more easily directed as to
their boundaries. However, because some of the younger kids find
their way into this tot lot area, it makes sense to put some kind of
barrier up to help keep kids from charging into the creek area.
VC/Herndon asked for input from the Browr�ies about a pole fence.
Isabella Fajardo replied that she liked the pole fence and signage.
C/Owens thanked both girls.
C/Owens said he would favor the pole fence as a barrier with signage
as a reminder to folks. He would not favor having a seating area
because kids will play on it and it could be yet another hazard. He
liked the idea of keeping the area open.
C/Liang asked what the length of the pole fence would be and
PMS/Jordan responded about 100 feet. C/Liang asked if a sign would
relieve the City's liability. CSD/Rose responded that nothing
eliminates the City's responsibility; therefore, the design of the fence is
very important with respect to liability. Also, if the fence is placed right
along the sidewalk and someone clin�ibed the fence and fell over, they
would fall on the grass on the other side. The design would be better
and the liability would not be so great. Because this is an open an
obvious situation, the expectation is that a reasonable person should
stay away from the creek. Once a barrier is erected it could create an
expectation that one would not have to be as vigiJant.
VC/Hemdon moved, C/Owens seconded, to move forward with
installation of a lodge pole fenee with a couple of signs. Without
objection, the motion was so ordered.
CALENDAR OF EVENTS: As presented in the agenda.
1. CONSENT CALENDAR:
1.1 Approval of amended Minutes far the May 12, 2011 Study Session.

AUGUST 25, 2011 PAGE 4 P&R COMMISSION
2. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
2.1 Recreation Program Update — RS/Murphey
VC/Herndon asked if the fiinancial summary for 2010/11 showing "rental
lease of real property" projected to be about $19,000, even though it was
listed as only $1,900 actual. RS/Murphey responded that it is correct.
-fhe amount varies from year to year. When she started with D.B. almost
10 years ago, the City spent mare on facili�ties because the Diamond Bar
Center and other facilities were not available. The City still budgets in
case it is able to offer a really popular class for which the City might not
have space and wants to make sure the money is available for rental.
Chair/Roberto asked if the totals on the mid-year were actual totals and
RS/Murphey responded no, those are mid-year projections. The financiat
summary page shows the actual totals.
C/Owens asked if senior softball was over. RS/Murphey referred C/Owens
to the next agenda item.
2.1.1 PowerPoint Presentation — Senior Softball/Senior Excursions —
RS/Meyer. RS/Meyer thanked everyone for their kindness to her
over the years and reported that she would be retiring from the City
of D.B. on October 5.
2.2 Parks Report— PMS/Jordan
2.3 Status of CIP Projects — CSD/Rose
2.3.1 Washington Park — CSD/Rose explained that there were
irregularities in the lowest and second lowest bids that were
submitted. Also, there were budget protests from the second and
third bidders who threatened litigation if the City awarded the
contract to the lowest bidder. CA/Jenkins advised the City that the
project could be delayed for quite some time if there was litigation;
therefore, all bids were rejected by the City Council on August 16.
As a result, the plans and specs were updated and the project is
ready to go out to bid with bid opening on September 13 and award
of contract prajected for September 20.
C/Owens asked how many contractors bid on the first project and
CSD/Rose responded 18.
Chair/Roberto asked if the contractors have to pay again and
CSD/Rose responded yes, because this is essentially a new
project.
2.3.2 Sifver Tip Mini-Park — CSD/Rose stated that the bid opening was
supposed to take place today. However, staff had to issue an
Y
AUGUST 25, 2d11 PAGE 5 P&R COMiVI1SSION
addendum yesterday to delay the operiing to September 1. There
were a few issues with the plans and specs that were brought to
staff's attention later which left insufficient �I:ime to complete the
addendum and continue with the bid opening today. "fhirty-eight
contractors have picked up plans and specs for �this project. Staff
plans to award the contract on September 20.
2.3.3 Sycamore Canyon Park Trail — Phase IV— CSD/Rose reported that
staff opened the bids on August 23 and the award of contract is
scheduled for September 20. There were 13 contractors that
submitted bids and the bids ran from $345,000 to $695,000. Ace
Construction is khe apparent low bidder and staff is checking
references. Ace was previously called Mega Way, which is the
company that built Sycamore Canyon Trail Phase III.
VC/Herndon asked how �Frequen�tly staff has to put projects out for
rebid. CSD/Rose said it is very unusual �that contractors are willing
to litigate. The problem with the low bidder was that the bidder
forgot to submit the required acknowledgement that he received the
fifth of five addendums and he was willing to forgo the additional
$200 for the fifth addendum. The City Attorney originally ruled that
it was a minor irregularity that could be waived but the second
bidder threatened ta file an injunction if the contract was awarded
to the low bidder. After speaking with their attorney, CA/Jenkins
determined that it was not worth the risk that the project could be
delayed by months. This does not often happen because most
contractors are too busy to get involved in litigation.
3. OLD BUSINESS: None
4. NEW BUSINESS (Continuedj:
4.1 Philosophical Discussian of Program Finances - CSD/Rose
CSD/Rose asked for Commission input as to how the report would best
suit its needs. Staff has a program budget including the contract class
budget that shows how much money is budgeted for each program and
the Program Evaluation Financial Report reflects the real numbers which
helps the program director determine what adjustments need ta be made
to the program and what needs to be budgeted. However, the reports
need to also serve the Commission and from past discussions there have
been many corriments and a good amount of discussion indicating that the
current reporting format may not serve the Commission's purposes. The
report contained in the Commissioner's packet lists the actual
expenditures for the programs ar about 98.1% of the appropriated funds
during the last fiscal year. The revenues are listed in the same categories
as listed in the budget. D.B. collected 103% of the revenues that were
projected. The overall subsidy level is basically the actual revenues
divided by the actual expenditures which came out to about a 54%
subsidy level. One expense that is not induded in the current number is
AUGUST 25, 2011 PAGE 6 P&R COMMISSION
the quarterly recreation brochure, which is in a different budget from the
Community Services budget. That expense is approximately $41,6Q0 per
year.
Chair/Roberto stated that he felt that the point of past discussions was
that the subsidy was somewhat hidden within ihe report and the
Commissioners wanted to be sure that information was being properly
communicated to the community reading the brochures when trying to
determine the value of signing up for classes at a certain price.
VCIHerndon asked if it was correct that the City was subsidizing those
classes and CSD/Rose responded yes. For exarnple, the classes that are
held at the Diamond Bar Center are not charged rent for use of �the
Center, so utilities, loss of potential revenue, space, etc. are being
subsidized.
Chair/Roberto reiterated that in the past when the City did not have those
facilities, it was paying someone for the rental space. CSD/Rose
respanded that Chair/Roberto was correct. CSD/Rose said he believed
the highest amount that was paid to the school districts was about
$120,000 per year.
CSD/Rose canfirmed to C/Owens that the City essentially subsidizes the
programs at about a 54% level which incliades full time employees,
benefits, utilities, maintenance, etc.
VC/Herndon felt that �khe recreation brochure should be included and he
also believed that the breakdown of different costs included a statement
indicating that, based on previous years' experience; #he subsidy levels for
this program would have been XX percentage. He believed triis would
provide a truer picture of what is happening.
Chair/Roberto concurred with VC/Herndon and felt that statements at the
battom of each program would be an effective way of presenting the fact
that there is an additionai benefit to the participants.
5. ANNOUNCEMENTS:
C/Liang thanked staff for the great job on the safety issues at Sycamore Canyon
' Park and for keeping the residents and the City safe.
C/Owens shared that he attended several Concerts in the Park programs and
was impressed with the crowds. He attended the Youth Baseball Picnic Awards
and was impressed with the number of attendees. He thanked staff for
organizing the events.
VC/Herndon echoed comments about the great job staff does. He appreciates
the great presentations and is always impressed with the results of the obvious
efforts put forth by staff. When the Commission met to discuss the Parks Master
Plan, there was a discussion about finding a spokesperson to help raise funds to
AUGUST 25, 2011 PAGE 7 P&R COMMISSION
develop sports fields. There was a budget mentioned and the possibifity nf
organizations within the City getting involved. He would like to see a Council
Merriber or someone of prominence in the City spearhead getting support for
#hese sports fields. He believed there was a tremendous opportunity at this time
with a tremendous adopted Master Plan. In addition, as was pointed out in the
minutes, there may be �funds available at the Federal level that could be utilized
toward this effort and he would hate to see the ball dropped on this effort. He
would like to see some forward movement on this issue.
Chair/Roberto thanked staff for tonight's presentations and congratulated
RS/Meyer on her retirement. He asked if the City had plans to recognize her and
RS/Murphey responded that there would be a recognition ceremony for Lorry at
the October 4 senior meeting. Once the details are made public, she will invite
the Commissioners to attend. Chair/Raberto said he had no problem with staff
opening mail that is addressed to him in care of the City. He appreciated the
presentation on Item 4.2. He asked what staff would recommend that the
� Commission propose to the City Council to move forward with the Parks Master
Plan. CSD/Rose stated that the first effort was to get the City Council to finance
the new City Hall to get money back into the General Fund so that money could
be earmarked for�the sports facilities at Lorbeer and South Point Middle Schools.
However, the City Council chose not to finance the facility and leave it as a cash
purchase. Staff will propose to the City Council to see, if they are interested in
spearheading a fundraising effort. A number of years ago, then City Council
Member and Mayor Bob Zirbes appointed a Sports Complex Task Force to study
the matter which is how fundraising efforts began through the Diamond Bar
Community Foundation. As a result, there are funds that have been set aside for
a future sports complex; however, there needs to be more momentum and a
citywide effort to move the matter forward.
ADJOIJRNMENT: VC/Herndon moved, C/Liang seconded, to adjourn the
meeting. With no further business before the Parks & Recreation Commission,
Chair/Roberto adjourned the meeting at 8:28 p.m.
The foregoing minutes are hereby approved this day of , 2011.
