PUBLIC COMMENTS: Clair Harmony, 24139 Afamado, spoke in support of most of the Graffiti Ordinance; however, he expressed concern that the Ordinance tends to punish victims of vandalism, and over -restricts merchants by requiring them to lock and secure such items as nail polish, crayons, and chalk, etc., creating an economic burden on the local business community. Oscar Law, 21511 Pathfinder Rd., referring to a letter he received by the Emergency Services Coordinator, Phil Armentrout, indicating that the Pathfinder Bridge may be closed during construction under certain circumstances, requested that the Council strongly urge that at least one lane be kept open at all times to allow for emergency vehicle access. George Barrett, 1884 Shaded Wood Rd., stated that the five minute time limit for public comments is not a sufficient amount of time to express concerns regarding such issues as the proposed South Pointe development. William Gross, 21637 Highbluff, expressed concern that C/Forbing may have insulted Assemblyman Horcher during his trip to Sacramento by wearing a certain political button. Nick Annis, 1125 Bramford Ct., requested that the City Council reconsider their decision on posting "No Right Turn Monday APRIL 20, 1993 PAGE 2 through Friday 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m." signs at Rolling Knoll and Country View. He further stated that a road through Tonner Canyon Rd., should be explored as well as freeway improvements to alleviate the traffic problems rather than creating more restrictions on public roads. Don Schad, 1824 Shaded Wood Rd., suggested that the City and residents could have worked together collectively toward preservation of Sandstone Canyon. He further expressed opposition to the development of a road in Tonner Canyon as a way to solve the City's traffic problem. Eileen Ansari, 1823 S. Cliffbranch Dr., spoke in support of the Graffiti Ordinance; however, she felt that the Ordinance creates excessive burden on merchants requiring them to lock up such products as nail polish, markers, crayons, etc., because they are considered graffiti tools. She further stated that the Ordinance appears to penalize the victim when vandalized. Dr. Joe Gorman, an environmental expert, made the following comments: a DEIR cannot be approved unless there is a preceding or present General Plan; the Sandstone Canyon DEIR is not worth the money spent on it; there is not enough open space in the General Plan; and the geology and hydrology section of the South Pointe DEIR needs further attention. Barbara Beach Cushane, 2021 Peaceful Hills Rd., stated that she addresses the Council on those issues that she considers of utmost importance and not because she is seeking attention. M/Miller requested that the following letter received from Mr. Tom Van Winkle, become a part of the record: "Dear Council: Regarding the General Plan workshop and hearings. "I want this General Plan to be reflective of the will of the people and guide Diamond Bar forever. "I feel the concerns of the public are not being adequately addressed by the proposed schedule to re -work the General Plan. A new schedule should be made. "Is the City, once again, blocking input from the main groups in the community? What does the city plan to do with the information gained from the work shops? Does the City expect to accomplish in seven meetings what they haven't been able to do in the past four years? "I was under the impression, since this issue was decided by the court, that the City could put the General Plan on a ballot or rescind the General Plan and start over. Since the city had the wisdom to rescind the General Plan, I feel the new schedule should be reflective of the following. APRIL 20, 1993 PAGE 3 "Your present seven meeting schedule may be adequate for input only, for the community at large. The City Council should then put a committee together represented by the following groups: The original GPAC, business community, various homeowner groups of which are presently active on preservation of all the canyons and open spaces, Gadflys, any other resident or persons that wish to attend, and last but not least the Diamond Bar for Country Living, the group that started the referendum to begin with. "This special group should review the General Plan page by page, line by line to restore it to the will of the community. When concluded, this document should be printed and released to the public for review and public hearings be re -opened by the City Council for discussion and approval. If the City Council should make changes, it should only be to make the document more efficient, not to change the meaning of the document. "I want to thank the City of Diamond Bar and the City Council for their consideration of this letter." 4. COUNCIL COMMENTS: Asst. Fire Chief Lockhart, at the request of CM/Belanger, explained that emergency vehicles will always have access to Pathfinder Bridge in either direction. However, if something prevented crossing at the bridge, resources would be dispatched from the opposite side to ensure acceptable service levels are continued. C/Werner suggested that the City clearly state the interest in retaining full access across the bridge during construction. He further suggested that the Graffiti sub -committee meet to allow additional input from members of the business and residential community, and that clarification appears to be needed by what is meant by implements of graffiti. He further stated in regard to the signs posted on Rolling Knoll and Country View, the Council will discuss the matter in detail during one of their June meetings. In addition, he requested that this meeting be adjourned in memory of the 50th Anniversary of the Holocaust during World War II. C/MacBride reported that both the Fire and Sheriff Departments must enter a property in order to take care of public health and safety problems, i.e., mosquito evasion and problems with encephalitis, caused by neglected swimming pools. He requested that staff make the appropriate contacts to determine what assurances are needed to provide the best pattern of access to such areas that may be a public or safety hazard. Council concurred. C/Forbing thanked the Historical Society and the Diamond Bar Improvement Assn. (DBIA) for sponsoring the City's 4th Anniversary celebration. He further stated that in regard to the Graffiti Ordinance, it was developed on the basis of input from the Sheriff's Department and was reviewed by the Chamber APRIL 20, 1993 PAGE 4 of Commerce. There was sufficient opportunity for the public and businesses to comment on it. In regard to Mr. Schad's comments regarding the use of proposition monies for the purchase of Sandstone Canyon, he explained that those monies can only be used for those items specifically mentioned on the ballot. M/Miller, in response to comments made by Mr. Harmony, stated that he addressed students at both Diamond Point and Golden Springs Schools explaining the Graffiti Ordinance and they did not feel that the restrictions in the Ordinance were too cumbersome. He further stated that Council cannot respond to questions regarding Sandstone Canyon because the issue is not before the City Council and the applicant is not here to respond. In response to Mr. Gross's comments, he stated that both Assemblyman Horcher and Senator Hill were invited by the City to sit at their table; however, they were unable to do so. He indicated that he did not see any buttons that had any derogatory word toward Assemblyman Horcher. In response to Mrs. Ansari, he stated that it is not the City's intent to make it difficult for the community, but rather to solve a problem in the community. In response Dr. Gorman's comment regarding the amount of open space indicated in the General Plan, he explained that there is a liability issue'when the City tries to designate privately -owned property as open space without buying it. CM/Belanger, at the request of M/Miller, responded to Mr. Schad's inquiry regarding monies available through a Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) program to purchase a portion of the Sandstone Canyon area, and explained that after reviewing some of the requirements of the program, as well as the obligations that the City would be warranting, at that time it was recommended that the City not pursue an application for those monies. In order to receive the grant, the balance of that project would have had to have been funded out of the City resources, and the City does not have the resources to fund a project of that magnitude, either in the short term or the foreseeable long term. 5. CONSENT CALENDAR: CM/Belanger reported that the City will be conducting a series of public workshops and hearings over the course of two months to prepare a revised General Plan. The series of public meetings, locations and times have been published in all the local newspapers, posted throughout the community and in a variety of commercial areas, and advertised in conjunction with Jones Intercable. He then stated that item 5.2, Minutes of April 6, 1993, would be amended to indicate that C/Werner was absent (excused). -- M/Miller requested that the Minutes of April 6, 1993 be amended on page 3 to indicate that the intent of the five minute speaking time had been created to allow public input, and that this is not the only forum available to the public. APRIL 20, 1993 PAGE 5 C/Werner requested that item 5.4, Bond Exonerations, be pulled from the Consent Calendar. He indicated that his intention to abstain on the Minutes is because he was not present at that meeting. C/MacBride moved, C/Forbing seconded to approved the Consent Calendar as amended.

OLD BUSINESS: 7.1 INSTALLATION OF METAL BEAM GUARD RAILING ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF GRAND AVENUE AT ROLLING KNOLL ROAD - ICE/Wentz reported that Council directed staff to advertise for bids for the installation of a metal beam guard railing along the north side of Grand Ave. at Rolling Knoll Rd. He recommended that the Council consider awarding a contract to C & W Fence Co., Inc. in an amount not to exceed $33,475 and provide a contingency amount of $13,000 to address such issues as landscaping or other necessary contract change orders that may be necessary from the City's perspective. The general concept was that the guard rail would be installed near the property line behind the curb and gutter. In reviewing the appropriate standards for installation of guard rail, the recommended engineering installation is to place the guard rail such that the face of the steel beam lines up APRIL 20, 1993 PAGE 7 with the face of the curb on the street. The contractor has indicated that it is feasible to install the guard rail per that standard, and would do so. In response to C/Forbing's inquiry regarding the extra 800 ft. of guardrail along the open restricted land at the top of the hill, ICE/Wentz explained that it was staff's opinion that it may be prudent to carry it beyond the property that abuts the entire area, however, the proposal is written in that the guard rail could go up to 2,500 ft. or be terminated at some identified mid point. C/Forbing inquired if the guard rail could in installed approximately three to four feet back from the curb. ICE/Wentz explained that the purpose of the guard rail is to control traffic. In order for it to function as designed, the best place to locate the guard rail is at the face of the curb to prevent a vehicle from jumping over it. He suggested that the hedge be planted behind the guard rail because if it is planted in front, there is a possibility that if a vehicle hits the guard rail, it will not function as designed. CM/Belanger stated that the function of the guard rail is to keep motorists on the road and prevent them from going down the hill. The choice becomes the amount of risk the City Council wishes to assume by taking the guard rail out of its recommended design function and moving it away for other reasons. ICE/Wentz, in response to C/Werner's inquiry regarding the use of a chain link fence as an alternative, stated that staff would recommend that if Council considers the option of installing a wall or chain link fence, it should be to delineate the property and not as a pro- tector to prevent vehicles from going down the hill. The contractor has indicated that he would only be willing to install the guard rail per standards. CA/Arczynski stated that if the City varies from an approved design standard, the City must prove that the design was reasonable, proper and appropriate if some- thing should occur. Don Schad recommended that holly, mulefat and Mexican elderberry be considered for planting behind the guard rail to improve the aesthetics. Stan Granger, 23800 Gold Nugget Ave., made the following comments: accidents have occurred pretty much along the length of the hill on Grand Ave.; residents concur with installing the guard rail at the curb line; in order to mitigate the noise problem, residents would prefer vegetation that is high and bushy, especially at the APRIL 20, 1993 PAGE 8 lower end of the street. Patricia Ayoub thanked the Council for their efforts and stated that the residents agree that by protecting the motorists, the property owners are protected as well. ICE/Wentz, in response to C/Werner's inquiry regarding landscaping, stated that part of the intent would be to provide some screening behind the guard rail and between the properties, to provide some buffer from noise, and to provide some obscuring of the guard rails. Once the guard rail is installed, staff will work out various landscaping plans and present them to the Council. M/Miller suggested that the landscaping plan consider the joggers and pedestrians to assure that access to that side of Grand Ave., is maintained. C/Forbing moved to direct staff to bring back a land- scaping plan for approval at next meeting with a 1,700 feet of railing along the curb, with a hedge to be planted in between the posts behind the railing and other plantings behind that in the right-of-way, and to close it off at the top and bottom so that no one can walk for the purpose of providing privacy to the homeowners and safety for the pedestrians and joggers. Motion died for lack of second. C/Werner stated that the situation first proposal for the concurred. he would prefer that staff review and then bring back a reasonable Council to consider. M/Miller Carleen Wilworth, 23922 Gold Nugget, stated that privacy is not an issue because they have planted various trees. C/Forbing, preferring 1,700 ft. of guard rail, suggested that the item be brought back to the Council with an entire plan that can be voted upon. ICE/Wentz indicated that the contract can be structured on a per lineal foot basis so as to give the Council flexibility to make the determination as to whether 1,700 or 2,500 feet is preferred. It was moved by C/Werner, seconded by C/Forbing to approve staff's recommendation for the guard railing and to direct staff to come back to the City Council with a landscaping proposal.

CA/Arczynski stated that unless C/Werner had read all the material on Ordinance No. 03 and listened to the tapes of the last meeting, he should abstain from voting because he was not present for the Public Hearing.

He recommended adoption APRIL 20, 1993 PAGE 10 of a Resolution approving the application for bicycle and/or pedestrian funds and adoption of the plan.

Oscar Law, 21511 Pathfinder Rd., suggested that Council place these public improvements under one landscaping ._ assessment district, instead of three, because the items are all the same. He then inquired into which district within the City would pay the fees for these improvements. CM/Belanger explained that Landscaping Assessment District No. 38 is a citywide district in which all activities, within that district are paid for from funds within that district; Landscaping Assessment District Nos. 39 and 41 were established as a part of subdivision maps of newer residential neighborhoods to take care of some of the public open space in which only those property owners that benefit from the public open space pay into that district for maintenance. The Council is considering approval of the resolutions that direct the City Engineer to prepare the assessment role and budget for the district. Once those are prepared, there will be public hearings held on each of these districts. Eileen Ansari, noting that the sidewalk areas along Grand Ave. and Diamond Bar Blvd. have weeds two feet high, inquired if the assessment districts includes maintenance of the sidewalks. CM/Belanger explained that because of recent rains, Lanterman and Conservation Corps forces have had difficulty keeping up with the growth of the weeds throughout the City. However, staff will be attempting to eradicate these weeds within the next month or two.
