Overturn Planning Commission Decision to Receive
and File the Director's Decision to Approve Patio
Cover and Second Floor Deck Request. Staff
Recommendation: Deny the appeal.
Mr. Richards gave the staff report.
Mayor Perez opened the public hearing.
Marc Charney, 65 North A Street, Oxnard, spoke as
Legal Counsel representing Mr. Tesfay, the
Appellant. He indicated that if the balcony is
approved it would compromise the privacy of Mr.
Tesfay's backyard. He said the issue is that one
homeowner, Mr. Sisseck, is being allowed to
increase the value of his property by devaluing the
property of Mr. Tesfay.
Ron Sisseck, 6708 Lafayette Court, stated that
there is really no privacy issue because it is
common that one resident's view looks into their
neighbors' backyard in this housing development.
He indicated disagreement with the statement that
his balcony would cause injury to and devaluation
of Mr. Tesfay's property. He stated that he has
attempted to compromise to no avail.
Mayor Perez closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Harper said he would like to have
both parties (Mr. Sisseck and Mr. Tesfay) speak to
the Council.
Mr. Tesfay expressed that his neighbor has no right
to look into his property nor to look over his
property to the City below. He said 15 foot trees
would not screen his property and give him privacy.
In response to Councilmember Lawrason, the City
Attorney said it was the City Council's job in this
situation is to apply the zoning policies of the
City as they apply to patio covers.
Mr. Sisseck spoke saying that after six months of
working on the problem, Mr. Tesfay has not
compromised on anything.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 10
July 25, 1990
Councilmember Lawrason stated it is not within the
authority of the Council to resolve the issue
between the homeowners.
AT THIS POINT in the meeting a recess was declared. The
Council reconvened at 9:20 p.m.
Ms. Kane said that the City's review is limited to
development standards which contain the setbacks
and height requirements of a patio cover. She said
if those standards are met in compliance with zone
clearance, there is no reason to reverse the
Director's decision.
Councilmember Harper suggested that a Council
Committee meet with Mr. Tesfay and Mr. Sisseck and
attempt to come up with a compromise.
In response, Mr. Sisseck stated he did not see how
another meeting would help the situation.
Councilmember Montgomery indicated that a
determination should be made.
Councilmember Lawrason stated his agreement with
Councilmember Montgomery.
MOTION: Councilmember Harper moved and Councilmember
Brown seconded the motion to continue the matter to the
Community Development Committee consisting of
Councilmember Brown and Harper to meet with Mr. Sisseck
and Mr. Tesfay and a representative of the Homeowners
Association in an attempt to facilitate a compromise
between the two homeowners. The motion failed 2 -3 by
voice vote, Councilmembers Lawrason and Montgomery and
Mayor Perez dissenting.
MOTION: Councilmember Lawrason moved and Mayor Perez
seconded a motion to approve the staff recommendation to
deny the appeal. The motion carried by unanimous voice

Eric Sakowicz, President of Environmental Impact
Sciences, gave a presentation describing the key
components of the proposed development. He
explained that his purpose is to define the project
and to initiate the Council review process. He
stated that different environmental factors were
considered for the three different components of
the development and that the environmental impact
report was prepared based on the time the project
will become operational rather than its impact on
the present environment.
Elaine Freeman, 2509 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd,
Thousand Oaks, spoke as a representative of the
applicants. She gave opening statements and said

summarized concerns of the residents that have been
brought to his attention and stated that these
concerns will be considered in the proposed

Rosa, spoke as the architect for the residential
portion of the project. He provided an overview of

surrounding area in the community.
Ken Macleod resumed speaking to address the
commercial aspect of the proposed development. He
stated the remaining two concerns of the citizens
are 1) that the residents would like to avoid
Lassen Street going into their tract, and 2) the
residents want to be included in some of the fine
tuning of the design for the retail project.
Steve Bosetti, Nadel Partnership, Los Angeles,
stated that they have tried to mitigate reasons for
complaints by residents regarding truck traffic by
using landscaping to buffer the noise.
Paul Jordan, 5447 Hollings, Ventura, stated what
landscaping devices have been used to alleviate the
noise and pollution of the truck traffic. He said
the current plans show very specific tree
selections to achieve this goal.
Mr. Macleod, continued at this point to discuss the
upper commercial portion of the plans. He said his
firm is investigating the possibility of providing
some senior care. He also stated that the name
"Mission Bell Plaza" is not necessarily the final
project name.
Richard Devericks, Ventura Pacific Capital Group,
Ventura, gave a presentation and summarized the
feasibility study that was done.
Steve Bosetti, spoke again and outlined the
architectural aspects of the project. He stated
that the Mediterranean style was chosen because it
offers a residential architectural compatibility
with the proposed residential project.
Doug Frazier, 237 Sierra, thanked Mr. Macleod for
the time and attentiveness they have given to the
citizens of Moorpark and continued by expressing
various concerns about the downtown park, the
placement of lights, widening of Liberty Bell Road,
the extension of Lassen Avenue, traffic circulation

traffic.

opposition to the Mission Bell Plaza project. Her
concern is the traffic that will be generated and
she said the applicants original request to build
