6.H. Jim Safechuck (Moorpark Rubbish) addressed the Council
concerning the Solid Waste Ordinance, advising that an

Pruner Health Services, advised that his ambulance
operation responds to approximately 40 calls per month
in Moorpark, and transports approximately 24 patients.

Club and 153 Residential Units (Bollinger Development Corn. 1.
Staff recommended denying the request of Bollinger Development
Corporation as proposed.
Pat Richards, Director of Community Development, advised the
Council that the current zoning and General Plan designation
of the subject property allows only 5 acre residential lots;
that the proposed development would require a General Plan
Amendment, and the proponents have requested authorization to
be processed outside the current General Plan Update. Mr.
Richards pointed out that, as in the past, Staff is opposed
to such processing as it undermines the intent of the current
General Plan Update. He advised that Staff and the Community
Development Committee recommend denial of the proposal by
Bollinger Development Corporation.
The Council recognized Paul Bollinger (5743 Corsa Avenue,
Westlake Village) who addressed the Council regarding the

at the Council's direction, this item was referred to the
Parks and Recreation Commission which has unanimously
recommended that the name of Paul E. Griffin, Sr. Park not be

developers donate land for parks -- that land is paid for by
Minutes of the City Council 9
Moorpark, California
February 21, 1990
those people who buy homes in the surrounding tract (a).
Councilmember Harper stated that Griffin Homes engaged in
campaign fund laundering with total disregard for what may
happen to their employees or the candidates and that he did
not want a public facility to be named after a company that
willfully engages in illegal activities.
Mayor Lawrason commented that he failed to see the correlation
between the name of Paul E. Griffin, Sr. Park and the FPPC
fine. Councilmember Brown advised that other community
members, not in attendance, supported the renaming of Griffin
Park. Councilmember Perez noted that although he was
personally injured by Griffin's recent actions, he supported

Councilmember Montgomery apologized to the Griffin family for

with the Parks and Recreation Commission to accomplish this.

Smith & Associates Application for a Proposed Hotel

action on January 17, 1990, which was to process the Conditional Use
Permit and General Plan Amendment concurrently.
11.K. City Finances
In response to questions being raised by the public regarding
park funds and bookkeeping practices, Councilmember Harper
recommended that the Council hold a workshop for the purpose
of providing an opportunity for concerned citizens to express
Minutes of the City Council 10
Moorpark, California February 21, 1990
themselves directly to the Council. Questions posed that can
be answered on the spot, will be. For those questions
requiring research, a second workshop would be held in order
to respond.
In response to the City Manager' s request to hold the workshop
in two weeks to allow staff ample time to produce related
documents for the public's perusal, the Council expressed its
desire to hold the meeting as soon as possible, within one
week.
MOTION: Councilmember Harper moved and Councilmember Montgomery
seconded a motion to hold a town hall meeting on February 28, 1990

ll.A. Consider Authorization to Loan Funds to Caltrans to Construct
Improvements at Southeast Corner of Spring Road /Los Angeles
Avenue /High Street Instersection. Staff recommended that the
Mayor be authorized to sign the MOU.
City Manager Kueny advised that there is no additional
information from Caltrans since the Council's discussion on
February 7, 1990.
Councilmember Brown expressed reluctance to fund the project
with no guarantee from Caltrans that the money will be repaid.
Councilmember Harper advised that he felt it was a relatively
modest amount to pay to amend a nagging problem, and it is
possible that the City will get paid back.
City Manager Kueny suggested that the Council consider
requesting Caltrans to borrow $40,000 (for the intersection
improvement project) from the $150,000 Caltrans has already
funded for the Continuous Left Turn Project in the Virginia
Colony area, which will not be under construction for several
months. In this way, Caltrans will be borrowing from funds
already committed to a Moorpark project and can pay itself
back when the money becomes available; and the City can
proceed with the improvements at the southeast corner of
Spring Road, Los Angeles Avenue and High Street.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to request that
Caltrans use funds from the $150,000 already committed to the Left
Turn Project to fund the improvements for the intersection at Spring
Road, Los Angeles Avenue and High Street; funds to be paid back by
Caltrans for the Left Turn Project when the funds become available.
Minutes of the City Council 11
Moorpark, California February 21, 1990
11.B. Consider Status Report Regarding PBR's Progress Associated
with the Carlsberg Specific Plan. Staff recommended they be
directed as deemed appropriate.
Pat Richards, Director of Community Development, reviewed the
Staff's written status report.
The Council recognized Allen Camp (One Boardwalk, Thousand
Oaks), representing Carlsberg, who made the following points:
1. Stressed that the environmental document for the
Specific Plan should be comprehensive enough, based on
the highest and best use level of development on that
property, so as to allow the fullest opportunity for
flexible consideration. It is a precautionary measure
to assess the project on the highest and best use and
base the environmental document on that assessment so
that the project has the most flexibility.
2. Because there is no school site designation in either
Alternative 1 -A or Alternative 1 -B, it will be placed
in an area where lots are currently designated.
3. The contract obligates the City to act on this Specific
Plan by August. He expressed concern with the delay in
getting the environmental report underway.
The Council recognized Ron Tankersley (Carlsberg) who advised
that the environmental document should address that the school
could locate on either of two sites and the environmental
document should include both sites in the alternative project
so that units could be built on the site not chosen by the
school district.
AT THIS POINT IN THE MEETING, Mayor Lawrason declared a recess, the time
being 11:40 p.m. The meeting reconvened at the hour of 11:55 p.m.
Pat Richards, Director of Community Development, advised that
Staff recommends Alternative 1 -A to be the project, and
Alternative 1 -B to be the alternative project for purposes of
environmental assessment.
Councilmember Harper advised that he supported identification
of the school site that has been confirmed by the School
District as the site. Councilmember Brown advised that she
supported Alternative 1 -A as the project.
City Attorney Kane advised that for purposes of planning, the
Council should consider other uses of the proposed school
Minutes of the City Council 12
Moorpark, California February 21, 1990
site. She noted that the School District is not bound by land
use designations and, therefore, the Council should provide
a land use in the event the school does not choose that site.
MOTION: Councilmember Brown moved and Councilmember Montgomery
seconded a motion to adopt Alternative 1 -A as the project, with the
preferred school site identified, and with the additional option of
residential being used on that site.
City Attorney Kane advised that the environmental document
analyzes potential land uses and one project must be
identified. The motion on the floor identifies two uses of
a single site, and only one project can be identified for
purposes of the environmental assessment.
MOTION WITHDRAWN: Councilmember Brown withdrew her motion;
Councilmember Montgomery withdrew his second.
Allen Camp suggested that residential be the level of
intensity on both locations.
City Attorney Kane advised that alternatives to the project
are developed to look at projects that have less environmental
impact than the identified project.
Councilmember Harper suggested that both sites be identified
as residential in the project; and the school site be
considered as an alternative to the project.
MOTION: Councilmember Harper moved and Councilmember Brown seconded
a motion to approve Alternative 1 -A as the project; and to direct
PBR to analyze as the first alternative, 1 -A with the school site
as identified by the Moorpark Unified School District; the second
alternative, an all residential project of 690 dwelling units as
would be allotted under current zoning; and the third alternative,
no project. No action was taken on the motion at this time.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to table this item
until later in the meeting.
12.A. Consider Adoption of Ordinance No. 123, an ordinance
pertaining to the regulation of solid waste.
Council discussion included the desire to change Section
6.10.100 a) for residential collection to begin at 7:00 a.m;
to change Section 6.10.100 b) for commercial collection to
begin at 8:00 a.m. on Saturdays; to limit container size to
45 gallons; and to cover blanket enroachment permits as part
of the franchise agreement rather than the ordinance.
Minutes of the City Council 13
Moorpark, California February 21, 1990
City Manager Kueny advised that it would be necessary to
continue allowing 55 gallon containers, currently supplied by
the refuse companies, until the refuse companies exchanged
them for 45 gallon containers. Other than those supplied by
the refuse company, 55 gallon containers would not be allowed.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council directed Staff to revise the
ordinance in accordance with the changes outlined, and bring it back
for Council action.
