(U. S. Condominium) - pursuant to Ordinance No. 4
Councilmember Prieto announced that he would abstain from participating in the
discussion and action on this matter, because of a possible conflict of interest.
The City Manager suggested that the Council might wish to hold this matter until
the arrival of Councilmember Beaulieu, who was expected to arrive later in the
meeting; however, it was decided by general consent to proceed with the order of
the agenda.
The City Manager stated that negotiations had been conducted with the developer,
Mr. Phil Vein, and that Mr. Vein was ready to make a presentation to the Council
to explain the results of such negotiations. He stated that the negotiated conditions
had not been reduced to writing, but that if Council approved them, then the pre-
pared resolution could be presented at the next meeting, October 19, 1983.
Mr. Phil Vein, 6685 Princeton, Moorpark, representing the applicant, U. S. Condo-
minium, addressed Council and explained with illustrations the changes which had
been negotiated in the project. He requested favorable consideration by the Council.

of Ordinance No. 4 of said City, adopted July 6, 1983.

and further possibility of a re- design of the project to further mitigate the con-
cerns regarding hillside development, which would be an item of additional
expense to the developer. Mr. Vein stated he would agree to astudy to see
whether or not it would be feasible to re- design the project.
There was some discussion concerning whether or not Campus Park Drive need
be a four -lane as opposed to a two -lane road; also some discussion regarding
roofing materials to be used in the project.

absence.
In response to concerns expressed by Mayor Yancy- Sutton regarding the continuing
deferment of a decision on PD -857, the City Attorney quoted from Ordinance No. 5
of the City of Moorpark, and gave his opinion that under the provisions of the
ordinance the City Manager/Director of Community Development is under a con-
tinuing duty to study the Residential Planned Developments affected by said ordinance
and to report back to the City Council; therefore, the directive given in the previous
motion is an administrative act and not a legislative act, and is in order.

them back; however, he stated he had been informed by telephone call from the
County Planning Department that the set of plans he had furnished were identical
to the plans approved by the County in 1980, and that no other plans had been
approved subsequently by the County. The City Attorney advised that the Council
should have the approved plans before them when any formal action regarding
the plans is taken.
During discussion between membenof the City Council and the City Staff„ the City
Attorney, upon inquiry, stated that it would be appropriate to condition the subject
permit to provide that specific floor plans be located on specific lots within the
project, or that the plot plans be subject to the approval of the City Manager.

provides that the final plot plan shall be approved by the Planning Director.

has submitted to and received approval by the City Manager of a plot plan of the
project indicating thereon the lot designations for the elevations and floor plans
previously approved by the County. Said motion died for lack of a second.
There was discussion regarding whether or not the Pacifica Corporation Develop-
ment plans could be approved on a different time schedule from those of Pardee
Corporation, who is owner of a portion of the real property to be developed. The
City Attorney advised this could be accomplished if the developers could not
coordinate their development schedules.
The City Manager suggested that the matter be continued to the next regular
Council meeting in order to give him an opportunity to modify the proposed reso-
lution of approval to provide that the County - imposed condition on the permit
requiring approval of the plot plan by the Planning Director be modified to require
the approval of the City Council at the time of development.
Mr. Tredway, speaking for Pacifica Corporation, stated that the question of what
to put on a plot plan cannot be rushed because of various marketing events and
suggested that further delay would severly prejudice his client.
Councilmember Harper than questioned the City Attorney whether or not the permit
could be conditioned to provide that no more than 25% of the units in the project be
of one size, and that no more than 3 contiguous lots be of one size, to which inquiry
the City Attorney replied in the affirmative.
It was moved by Councilmember Harper :and seconded by Councilmember Straughan
that the matter be continued to the next regular meeting and that the City Manager
be directed to modify the proposed approval resolution to provide the following:
a That no more than 2570 of the units on the lots be of any one size;
b That no more than 3 contiguous lots be of any one size; and

over until he could be in attendance; by general agreement the order of the agenda
was followed;
9. A. Proposed Ordinances Restricting Building in Geologic Fault Zones.
It was moved by Councilmember Harper and seconded by Councilmember Straughan
that the City Manager be instructed to proceed with his recommended review and
analysis of the proposed ordinances and to report back.
Councilmember Harper then amended his motion to provide that in the event an
affected development is in process, the review and analysis be expedited so that
the ordinances are adopted before the project is built, which amendment was
seconded by Councilmember Straughan and unanimously carried.
The main motion was then carried by unanimous vote.
Councilmember Prieto then expressed some concern about some provisions of the
proposed ordinances, and agreed to work with the City Manager during the study.

been handed a note advising her that the applicant (Pacifica) could have the elevation
plans, available within 45 minutes for presentation to the Council at this meeting if
Council would agree to re -open the hearing. By general consent the Council agreed
not to re -open the hearing at this time.
9. B. "Granny Flats"
By general consent the report of the City Manager dated October 5, 1983, regarding
the subject matter was ordered received and filed, pending receipt of further
information.
9. C. Ordinance Restricting the Parking of Campers and Vehicles being
Repaired.
Frank Knickelbein, 4893 Avedon Road, Moorpark, addressed Council suggesting
that careful consideration be given to the drafting of subject ordinance, especially
in the definition of camper, van, bus, and other vehicles.
Councilmember Harper stated that Agoura Hills had either adopted or was con-
sidering the adoption of an ordinance to restrict the parking of oversized vehicles
overnight on residential streets, and suggested that a copy of such ordinance be
obtained and distributed to the members of the Council for study.
The City Attorney and the City Manager both cautioned that any ordinance adopted
by the City Council should first be submitted to the Sheriff's Department for review
and comment regarding enforcement and fines.
By general consent the matter was continued for further study.
9. D. Roofing Materials
It was moved by Councilmember Straughan that any type of wood shake, as well
as any composition of asphalt, asbestos, fiberglass, etc., roofing materials be
prohibited within the City, with the exception of tile roofing. Councilmember
Harper stated he would support a motion to prohibit shake of any type, as well as
composition shingle roofs, and there followed a discussion regarding different
types of roofing materials.
The following individuals addressed the Council regarding the subject matter:
Jim Hartley, 5950 Gabbert Road, Moorpark, urged that Council give thorough
consideration to different types of composition roofing materials, some of which
are not objectionable to the Fire Protection District or to insurance companies;
asked that the matter be studied thoroughly before a decision is reached.
Phil Vein, of U. S. Condominium, Moorpark, expressed concern that action might
be taken on this matter without further study and information; stated that he felt
there should be some flexibility, that the City should not prohibit all roofing
materials except tile, and that maintenance of tile roofs would impose an additional
burden on the homeowner, and would increase the initial cost of the home con-
siderably.
Louise Rice - Lawson, of Building Industries Association, expressed concern over
the rapidity of action on this item and requested a delay in order to study the
matter more thoroughly; offered to bring to Council a display of different kinds
of acceptable composition roofing materials.
By general consent the Council requested the Building Industries Association to
develop the suggested display of composition roofing materials, together with a
report on the comparative costs involved.
Councilmember Straughan then withdrew his motion, with the consent of the
second, and Ms. Rice - Lawson agreed to bring the display and report to the next
regular meeting of the Council.
It was then moved by Councilman Harper and seconded by Councilmember Straughan
that the City Manager and the Planning Commission be directed to not approve any
new structures that contain any type of wooden shake roofing.
Mayor Yancy- Sutton stated that she felt the action was redundant in that the
County had already adopted an ordinance prohibiting the use of wooden shake
roofing. It was clarified that the County ordinance prohibited untreated wooden
shake roofing; also that the Fire Protection District had a policy of prohibiting
all wooden shake roofing in the District.
-10-
The motion passed by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Harper, Straughan and Prieto;
NOES: Mayor Yancy - Sutton;
ABSENT: Councilmember Beaulieu.
9. E. Use of Aluminium Electrical Wiring
Councilmember Harper requested that this matter be continued to permit him
an opportunity to locate a study which had been published by Consumers Reports
in which it was recommended that no aluminium wiring be use in structures,
and he stated he would like to furnish a copy to each of the Councilmembers.
The matter was continued by general consent.
9. F. Animal Regulation
Mayor Yancy- Sutton requested that this matter be continued for further study,
especially in matters of enforcement, and it was suggested that perhaps the City
could contract in the future with the Humane Society, or with the County if the
Humane Society has no place to harbor the stray animals, such a contract to be
specific to meet the City's needs.
During the above discussion, at 10:50 p. m., Councilmember Straughan left the
Council bench and returned at 10 :53 p. m.
10. G. Assembly Bill 1597 (Costa)
By general consent it was agreed that the City Manager would summarize the
effects of the subject legislation at a future meeting.
Non - Agenda Item: Noise Ordinance
The City Attorney announced that pursuant to instructions from the City Council,
the City Clerk had procured from the League of California Cities copies of various
city ordinances regulating noise. He suggested that the City Clerk hold them in
her possession, and that members of the Council review them at her office and
indicate any ordinances which they might be interested in having copied for
reference.
Non - Agenda Item:
The City Attorney announced that the matter of approval of franchises may be
ready for placement on the agenda for the next meeting of the Council; that
because of a possible conflict of interest, he must disqualify himself from par-
ticipating in the matter and that in his stead, Kathy Stone, Assistant City Attorney,
of the firm of Burke, Williams and Sorensen, would be in attendance at the
Council meeting.
At this time, 11 :05 p. m., Councilmember Beaulieu arrived in the Council Chambers,
and Mayor Yancy- Sutton declared a short recess in order to provide an opportunity
to brief Councilmember Beaulieu on the status of Item S. F. , which had been
continued pending his arrival.
