7. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
7.1 REQUEST TO REVIEW THE DECISION OF THE PLANNING
COMMISSION TO APPROVE A PROPOSED WIRELESS
TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITY AT 24401 DARRIN DRIVE
(CUP 96-10 AND DR 96-9) - Jeff McHaddad, Pacific Bell Mobile
Communications, in response to C/Ansari, stated that the installation
had been lowered 2'. Responding to C/Harmony, he said there was
no grading at the site. Top soil was imported for the mockup. He
referred Council to the presentation folder. Also in response to
C/Harmony, Mr. McHaddad stated that the applicant had not
requested a tract amendment for removal of the access restriction.
There will be foot traffic only to the site once or twice monthly and no
vehicular access to the project site. He clarified that the project
involves the attachment of 2 antennas to each of 3 pipes. The visual
impact is minimal. He indicated there are two existing facilities in D.B.
that exist in residential zones (D.B. High School). He further stated
that although several locations, including Peterson Park, were
considered for this installation, the proposed site grants the best line
of site and presents no visual impact to surrounding residences. The
applicant never proposed a tower with flashing red light. The site will
not interfere with television, radio or wireless telephone
communications. The resident's concerns regarding EMF's have been
addressed by the applicant. Mr. McHaddad also indicated that a
resident requested a 5' berm instead of the proposed 3' berm and that
the applicant is willing to extend the berm to 5', if necessary. He
pointed out that an independent real estate appraiser's opinion is that
installations of this type add valuable services to the area and do not
contribute to declining real estate values. He believed the applicant
had responded positively to the concerns of the residents, the
Planning Commission and Council. The proposed installation will add
a valuable service to the community.
Dr. Jerry Bushberg explained that he conducted broad banned MRF
exposure surveys of the mockup facility. Maximum levels measured
were approximately less than .2% of the allowed standard.
Bernie Garcia, 3748 Woodhurst Dr., Covina, Real Estate Appraiser,
stated that he holds a Senior Designation with the American Society
of Appraisers, a Senior Designation with the National Association of
Independent Fee Appraisers, and a Senior Designation with the
American Association of Certified Appraisers. He indicated he served
for three years on the Appraisal Qualifications Board, a five member
board in Washington, D.C., with the Appraisal Foundation whose
function it is to determine education and experience for Licensed
JUNE 3, 1997 PAGE 5 CITY COUNCIL
Certified Appraisers throughout the country. He inspected the subject
property to determine whether or not there would be a decline in value
of properties approximate or adjacent to the proposed site. Sales of
Residential property, one in 1993 (prior to the D.B. High School
cellular site installation) not in the vicinity of the High School site, and
one in January, 1997 which occurred immediately adjacent to the D. B.
High School site, revealed no negative impact to property values as
a result of the installation.
Mr. McHaddad stated that the applicant's landscape plan had been
upgraded to include additional vegetation and berming. He asked that
Council approve the project with appropriate enhancements or
modifications.
Responding to C/Werner, Mr. McHaddad indicated the existing trees
which camouflage the antenna shown on the plans were slated to be
removed; however, since the Planning Commission hearing, the trees
will now be trimmed and not removed. Existing plans are relevant
only to the extent that the conditions imposed by the Planning
Commission's approval are applicable.
C/Werner asked what condition provides that the trees will not be
removed. He asked the proposed height of the commercial metering
pedestal and wanted to know how the structure will look.
Mr. McHaddad verified to C/Werner that the dashed line represents
the lease line. Grey gravel will be placed in the lease area so that
weeds do not grow. Further, he confirmed that the gravel will not be
visible from the surrounding area and that the center antenna on the
plans should be labeled "Cox". Each pole will have two antennas, the
dimensions of which differ slightly between the two carriers. The
antenna, point in a specific direction, half pointed uphill and half
pointed downhill, all pointed away from the residences in order to
cover the freeway corridor. Technically, this site has not been left
open for a third provider. The Planning Commission asked if the
applicants would be opposed to letting another provider consider co -
locating at the site. He said they are not opposed to a third provider
co -locating at the site provided they obtain the City's permission and
conform to the conditions of the approval. The cabinets proposed for
the site are for Cox/Sprint PBS (one carrier) and Pacific Mobile
Services (a second carrier). Further, he stated that the chain link
fencing can be green vinyl or light brown vinyl with current plans to
provide a green vinyl fencing. The block wall is proposed to be slump
stone colored to blend with the surrounding vegetation.
In response to MPT/Herrera, Mr. McHaddad responded that currently,
the antenna are proposed to be placed 2' below pad grade. The
drawings provided to Council show the antennas flush with the pad.
JUNE 3, 1997 PAGE 6 CITY COUNCIL
The mockup antenna are 2' below the pad. The applicant's engineers
would prefer the tops of the antenna be flush with pad grade in order
to provide more effective coverage.
In response to C/Harmony, Mr. McHaddad stated that due to the
radius, highway, and topography, the Peterson Park site does not
offer handoff line of site to other digital installations. He indicated that
the equipment sites are fenced for security purposes. In addition, the
site requires a 220 watt/100 AMP power source. The antenna and
fencing are grounded and do not give off electrical shock during
transmission.
Responding to C/Werner's prior question, Mr. McHaddad stated the
commercial metering pedestal is proposed to be a cabinet
approximately 36 inches high and 18 inches in diameter.
In response to M/Huff, Mr. McHaddad explained that the Planning
Commission approved the antenna tip height at grade. Since
Commission approval, the applicant has lowered the antenna 2' below
grade. The Commission approved the project without the berm. He
indicated the front page of the notebook provided to the Council
shows a 1 112 to 2' berm. The actual height of the tallest antenna is
24' with the 2' reduction.
In response to M/Huff, ACA/Susskind responded that the law states
that wireless telecommunications providers must meet Federal
requirements which are not subject to interpretation by cities, counties
or states. She stated that although cities may not disallow providers,
distance requirements, zoning and other limitations may be imposed.
M/Huff opened the public hearing.
Joe Ruzicka, Planning Commission Chairman, fully understood
Council's concern for this controversial issue and its decision to review
the Planning Commission's determination. Nothing that has to do with
the maintenance of the City should be taken lightly. However, the
Planning Commission as a whole, abided by this maxim when it
received for consideration the installation of this facility. The end
product of the Commission's deliberations took into account the health
and safety of the neighborhood, potential disruption of views,
maintenance of property values due to aesthetics of the project, and
the rights of both the citizens and the applicant. He said he personally
called five agencies that deal with telecommunications facilities, the
Environmental Protection Agency, the National Institute of Health, the
National Institute of Environmental Health Services, the Federal
Communications Commission, and the Motorola Consortium. He
indicated the research information he received was made available to
the Council Members through the City's Planning Department. He
JUNE 3, 1997 PAGE 7 CITY COUNCIL
further stated that his fellow Commissioners conducted extensive
research on this matter. As a result of citizen and Planning
Commission concerns, the final project proposal was completely
changed from the initial submission. In view of this thorough review
process, he requested that Council confirm the Planning
Commission's 4-1 approval decision.
Don Schad, Planning Commission Vice Chairman, stated he voted
"NO" on this project. He said he feels the City Council has an
obligation to honor the citizens' wishes to not permit this project in
their neighborhood. He indicated he has received inconsistent
information from the applicant regarding the facility's power usage.
He pointed out that C/Werner's question regarding the antenna
dimensions was not answered by the applicant. He further stated he
is concerned about the applicant pruning black walnut trees on the
site.
Mary Yuen asked why the project is deemed appropriate to be placed
on a hillside and indicated the applicant previously stated the
antennas could not be placed below top of grade and now they are
advocating it is okay to place them 2' below grade. She is concerned
that the applicant will come back to the City after installation to say the
antennas do not work at the installation level and need to be raised.
She expressed concern about inconsistencies voiced by the applicant
and indicated that she had contacted a couple of realtors who told her
it was possible that property values could be jeopardized due to
antenna installations. Also, she was concerned about setting a
precedent by placing these types of antenna in residential
neighborhoods. The installation is visible from her property which is
up the hill from the site and she was concerned that antenna waves
could reach her property. The residents have no financial interest in
this project. However, the people who have spoken previously have
a financial interest and are not residents of the City. She said it is
important that the Council listen to the concerns of its citizens.
Denise Delgado said they purchased their view lot 11 years ago.
Health of her children is her number one concern. She said she and
her neighbors were not previously aware that 60 people signed a
CC&R amendment allowing this installation. The site is visible from
her home. She expressed concern about the applicant's inconsistent
statements.
Ellen Stepada, Jan Court, said she was not notified about the project
and expressed concern about the potential health effects of these
types of installations and property values. She complained that the
appraisal offered by the applicant had no bearing on the proposed site
in her neighborhood. She felt that the City will be sorry if the project
is approved because the residents have not been properly notified.
JUNE 3, 1997 PAGE 8 CITY COUNCIL
Dr. Lawrence Rhodes asked how this project will be affected if the
City Council passes a moratorium on these types of facilities (Agenda
Item No. 8.3).
Rose Madunnen, Carpio, believed that it was wrong for a commercial
establishment to be allowed in a residential area.
Mr. McHaddad said the residents gain a utility service with the
installation of this system like any other utility service such as the gas
company, the television cable company, the telephone company, etc.
Location of this type of installation in a residential neighborhood is not
precedent setting. This is not a commercial establishment. He asked
Council to uphold the Planning Commission's approval.
There being no further testimony offered, MIHuff closed the public
hearing.
C/Harmony believed protecting the City's neighborhoods is at issue.
Telephone pole installations are a blight on neighborhoods, There are
currently 18 telecommunications facilities in the City and the City
needs to gain control of these types of installations. Council has
proposed a moratorium on these types of installations until guidelines
are established. He said he was not satisfied with answers regarding
map restrictions and the original intent for use of the proposed site.
He questioned a review of the CC&Rs for the entire neighborhood and
indicated his discomfort with inconsistencies in the applicant's
proposal. He suggested Council deny the project without prejudice
and recommend that the applicant reapply to the City after guidelines
are established.
In response to C/Ansari regarding 60 signatures obtained for the
CC&R amendment, CDDIDeStefano explained that the applicant
sought and obtained an amendment to the CC&Rs that control his
property and some surrounding homes within the tract. The
amendment permits the type of application he has placed before the
City for consideration. An amendment to the CC&Rs requires 75%
approval of property owners within the tract, which he has obtained
according to the recorded document. Residents of the specific Tract
Map would have been notified. For instance, Jan Court is a different
tract and those residents would not have been notified about the
CC&R amendment.
In response to C/Ansari regarding raising of the berm to 5' and
lowering the antenna 2', Mr. McHaddad responded that the berm does
not affect the radio waves because it is behind the antennas and
serves only to mitigate the visual impact of the antenna.
C/Ansari said she visited the site. The installation is on the far side of
JUNE 3, 1997 PAGE 9 CITY COUNCIL
the property next to the fire station and surrounded by substantial
open space. She was concerned with setting a precedent in
residential neighborhoods and the potential impact to the neighbors;
however, she believed this project would have a minimal impact on
the neighbors. She disagreed with the project as she viewed it last
night with the 1 112' berm.
Mr. McHaddad explained the project plan's color representations to
C/Werner.
In response to CNWerner, CDDIDeStefano read the language of the
R1 Single Family Residential Zone, Section 22.20.100, which
describes permitted property uses under which this project was
considered. There is no ownership distinction. Other R1 land uses
that require Conditional Use Permits and could be construed as
commercial activities include Adult Day Care Facilities, Airports, Golf
Courses, Heliports, Libraries, Schools, Cemeteries, Museums, etc.
Home based businesses do not require a Conditional Use Permit. He
was not aware of any D.B. ordinance specifying or regulating numbers
of uses in addition to primary use.
C/Werner stated that the Planning Commission apparently made an
extraordinary effort in its review process. The only "NO" vote is based
upon the EMF's, a subject which the City is not able to regulate.
In response to CNWerner, ACA/Susskind explained that the City could
insert wording into the finding that if the FCC later determines that
these kinds of uses are found to be of health risk, and if the
government releases the clause, the City would be able to
retroactively remove the site on the basis of health risk.
C/Werner stated that the applicant's incomplete plans render a
decision difficult. In addition, there are no Planning Commission
conditions of approval indicating no trees shall be removed from the
site. He asked that the applicant provide conforming plans for
Council's consideration.
MPT/Herrera stated that it is never easy to make a decision that is
controversial, but Council has an obligation to make decisions based
upon the overall good to the City and behave in a proper business
sense. She did not believe it communicates a good message about
the City and how it wants to conduct business when it changes rules
in the middle of the game. At this time, D.B. is making a concerted
effort to promote economic development. The economic well-being
of D.B. depends on economic development. if the City continues to
chase away business, it will fall upon the backs of the homeowners to
support the City and its facilities and services. Further, Council has
an obligation to consider resident's concerns and views, and to modify
JUNE 3, 1997 PAGE 10 CITY COUNCIL
projects accordingly while meeting the City's financial obligations.
M/Huff agreed with ClWerner regarding the view. Council cannot
make an informed decision without complete and accurate project
plans. With respect to property values, the applicant hired a
professional appraiser who made a good faith comparison effort. Itis
difficult to obtain comparables within a portion of the community where
no facilities exist. He suggested the applicant be asked to provide a
complete mockup with a 5' berm in place.
ClWerner moved, MIHuff seconded, to continue the matter to June 17,
1997, and request the applicant provide Council with complete and
accurate site plans and mockup.
ClHarmony offered a substitute motion to overturn the Planning
Commission's approval and deny the application without prejudice.
Motion died for lack of a second.
C/Werner continued with his motion to include that the following
information be provided by the applicant: Height of antennas, precise
location relative to the flat pad, where the gravel is proposed to be
placed and what color it will be, location of the lease line, length of the
property lease and whether the lease constitutes a subdivision of land,
provide accurate and complete details of projected tree
maintenance/removal, provide precise landscape plan, provide
mockup of the commercial metering pedestal placed further away
from the right-of-way, and provide evidence that the site is not visible
as stated by the applicant.
ACA/Susskind suggested this meeting be adjourned to a time and
location specific for purposes of visiting the site in accordance with the
Brown Act.
ClWerner amended his motion to include a site visit at 5:30 p.m. on
June 17, 1997.
ClHarmony moved, C/Ansari seconded to amend C/Werner's motion
to include a written legal opinion/analysis of map restrictions. Further,
he requested an analysis of L.A. County's intent with respect to the
original Tract approval with respect to CC&Rs as the provisions relate
to open space. Motion to amend ClWerner's motion failed by the
following Roll Call vote:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Ansari, Harmony

9.1 FISCAL YEAR 1997-1998 MUNICIPAL BUDGET - Barbara Beach-
Courchesne expressed concern that the City was not addressing the
shortfall. She asked how the City can entice new business when it
cannot retain old business. D.B. is not suitable to be a large
commercial site and she believed the people do not want commercial
development in the City. Further, she did not agree with proposed
JUNE 3, 1997 PAGE 12 CITY COUNCIL
staff salary increases. Regarding donation to the Chamber of
Commerce, she felt that it would be Illegal to do so and felt that
redevelopment would take money from the City.
Debby O'Connor asked for consideration of a budget item for security
