Ken Macleod, 4262 Telegraph Road, Ventura, spoke representing
Macleod Construction Company, an applicant for the project.
Mr. Macleod requested that he be allowed to record the Land
Division Map without the required bonding and that the City
have an equitable lien on the property in lieu of bonds. He
said his firm will submit for approval some cost estimates
that could serve as the basis for the bond amounts with an
additional amount added for safety and cost escalation. He
stated that this lien would be subordinate to the loan on the
property. Mr. Macleod also stated that they would like to
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 10
September 18, 1991
avoid any double bonding requirements for improvements in
connection with their project and that they would like to pay
additional fees at the time of building permit issuance rather
than at the time of filing the parcel map.
Mr. Macleod asked if it is necessary to give the reciprocal
easement access immediately or if it can occur as late as the
attainment of an anchor tenant on their side of the shopping
center.
In response to Councilmember Montgomery, Mr. Macleod said he
would agree to the reciprocal parking agreement being provided
now.
Barbara Schultz, 116 Sierra Avenue, stated that the project
should not be done in phases, but should be constructed all at
once.
Mela Cano, 148 Sierra Avenue, expressed concerns about the new
plans that Mr. Macleod presented at the previous meeting. She
said the previous plan looks better and she restated the need
for security at the center twenty -four hours a day.
Ken Loe, 8410 Waters Road, asked if Mr. Macleod must undergo
a General Plan amendment for the new plan presented and Mr.
Loe encouraged Council to require security at the shopping
center.
Councilmember Montgomery asked if the City Engineer has
verified that the additional nine feet is actually the amount
needed to modify the parking area. The Assistant City
Engineer responded that the amount needed to modify the
parking area has not yet been verified.
Councilmember Montgomery continued by clarifying the following
conditions contained in the staff report with Mr. Richards:
1. Similar language regarding assessment districts will be

Condition 59 to clarify the language in this condition.

building located adjacent to Park Lane Avenue to be moved
nine feet.
5. Condition 58 on page 12 - Councilmember Montgomery said
that the total amount of $100,000 would be due and
payable when the first building permit is pulled. He
said it would be paid with the building permit and
subsequent amounts would be paid on a pro rata basis
based on square footage at the time certificates of
occupancy of any new building, including K -Mart, are
issued.
Councilmember Talley said Condition 28 on page 37 addresses
the hours of construction as being 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. weekdays.
He said the wording in Condition 104, page 20 is not
consistent. Mr. Talley stated that construction should not
begin until 9:00 a.m. on Saturdays.
In response to Council question, Ms. Kane said she would
review the Subdivision Map Act during the break regarding
requirements for bonding.
AT THIS POINT in the meeting a recess was declared. The time
was 9:20 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 9:55 p.m.
Councilmember Wozniak stated his concerns that dust mitigation
and the impacts during construction on Chaparral School were
not addressed in the EIR. He requested the inclusion of these
matters in the EIR.
Ms. Kane stated that her review of the Map Act and the City's

and said the applicant will comply with all conditions of

conditions must be recouped in the market. He commented as
follows:

interior open space. He indicated that the applicant has
reduced the size of the courtyard, but it still measures
a more than adequate 43 feet in width.
2. The applicant will build a swimming pool and two tot lots
to enhance the recreational facilities available at the
proposed project.
3. The thickness of the walls between individual living
units that the City is requiring is above and beyond what

He questioned why this project is being singled out for
sound attenuation between units.
Justin Farmer, 207 South La Brea Blvd, La Brea, spoke as the
traffic engineer for the project. He addressed three items as
follows:
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 14
September 18, 1991
1. Validity of the Traffic Count - To ascertain accuracy of
the first traffic study, a second was taken in August,
1991. He said there was a 5% lower traffic count than
the count taken in February. He said the applicant is
satisfied that the traffic counts are accurate.
2. Validity of Trip Generation Forecasts - All traffic
entering and leaving the existing complex was evaluated.
He said the applicant is satisfied that the original
forecast erred on the side of overforecasting.
3. Trip Distribution Forecast - The estimated volume figure
of 100 vehicles per hour on Millard was 20% too high.
Their study shows no need for a signal at Millard and Los
Angeles Avenue and no need to extend Millard.
Mr. Fukatomi, said this project meets the City's needs for the
affordable housing goals of the City's housing element.
Gary Verboon, 11355 W. Olympic Blvd, Suite 550, Los Angeles,
spoke as legal counsel for the Regal Park Homeowners'
Association. Mr. Verboon said there are concerns with
parking, safety and environmental issues that have not been
satisfactorily resolved.
Eugene O'Brien, 150 E. Los Angeles Avenue, stated that the
traffic study that was conducted was not accurate and
conclusive. He appealed to the Council to deny the project
due to its high density.
Wes Ardahl, 150 Majestic Court, #1107, spoke in opposition to
the Bibo project due to the high population density of it.
Richard Gable, 150 E. Los Angeles Avenue, #305, said he is
opposed to the proposed project because it will increase
traffic significantly and the pool areas would be a constant
concern with so many children present.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 15
September 18, 1991
Roger Smith, 150 Majestic Court, #1009, stated his opposition
to the project due to its high population density in such a
small area.
Deborah Menard, 150 -802 Majestic Court, said she is opposed to
the Bibo project due to the possibility of increased crime in
the area as a result of the high density of tenants that would
live there.
Mary D'Attile, 151 Majestic Court, said one of her objections
to the project is the irrevocable easement from the Flood
Control District to allow off -site parking that she believes
exists. She appealed to the City Council to recommend denial
of the project.
Teresa Schmidt, 90 Fremont, recommended denial of the project
due to the property devaluation that it may cause to
surrounding property.
Dominic Schmidt, 90 Fremont Street, spoke in opposition to the
project.
Frank J. Dyjur, 150 E. Los Angeles Avenue, #501, stated his
opposition to the project due to the high density of
population.
Varoujan Paul, 4611 Bella Vista Drive, spoke opposed to the
project because t will overuse the services of the community,
such as police for increased crime and the impact on local
schools.
David J. Fukutomi, 360 Mobil Avenue, Camarillo, spoke again
and addressed the following points that had been expressed by
the public testimony.
1. Parking. He said the area to be used for the off -site
parking is not owned by the Ventura County Flood Control
District. The area the project will utilize is owned by
a private individual.
2. Traffic Study. The City's traffic engineer reviewed the
study and it was deemed complete and accurate.
3. Density. It is currently zoned RPD 12 units and the
proposed density conforms with the zoning. The density
is substantially less than the Le Club Apartments next
door.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 16
September 18, 1991
4. Size of Units. These units are substantially larger than
most market units said Mr. Fukutomi.
5. Recreational Amenities. Bibo will construct a pool and
two tot lots to accommodate the need for recreational
facilities.
6. Property Devaluation. Mr. Fukutomi stated that he has
not seen anything conclusive that this proposed project
will devalue surrounding properties.
7. Tenant Character. Mr. Fukutomi said the average income
of some of the units would be $44,000 per year, which is
much higher than some other citizens in Moorpark.
In addition, Mr. Fukutomi said Bibo would welcome dialogue
with the Homeowners' Association to work to mitigate their
concerns.
In response to Councilmember Talley, Mr. Fukutomi indicated
that the rents would be based upon a median income figure of
$54,000 for a family of four.
In response to Councilmember Talley, staff clarified that the
median income for Ventura County for a family of four is
$48,400 and therefore the rents would be lower than being
represented by Mr. Fukutomi.
Mr. Fukutomi said they will waive the right to receive copies
of all of the public correspondence regarding this project,
but will request they be provided at a later date.
In response to Mr. Kueny, Mr. Fukutomi said the applicant is
aware of their obligation to pay the Quimby fees if the
project is approved.
Mayor Lawrason closed the public hearing.
After further Council discussion, the following motion was
heard:
MOTION: Councilmember Montgomery moved and Councilmember Wozniak
seconded a motion that the Council concur with the Planning
Commission reasons for recommending denial of the project as
