Ken Macleod, 4262 Telegraph Road, Ventura, spoke regarding Item 8.H., CPD 89 -2 and Tentative Tract No. 4757 - Minor Modification No. 1 (Ventura Pacific Capital Company).

Macleod Construction is requesting that this condition be modified to read (with the addition of the following language at the end): "provided that the applicant for CPD 89 -2 (Phase I) has made irrevocable arrangements to complete the permanent improvements noted in Item No. 1 of the Staff Comments herein (parking spaces, truck access, etc.) prior to the completion of the first building in CPD 89 -1 (west of the proposed KMART)" 2) Regarding Item no. 5, page 4 of the staff report and at Item 1., page 6 - Additional and Revised Conditions of Approval.

Minutes of the City Council Moorpark, California Page 4 May 6, 1992 Macleod Construction requests that if such temporary storm water facilities are required that Ventura Pacific Capital maintain such facilities at their cost and indemnify the City and Macleod from the consequences of such additional water flowing from their property onto the Macleod property. 4) Macleod Construction specifically requests that CPD 89 -1 (Phase II and III) not be deemed to have utilized its right to a future Minor Modification Request because of the request for this Minor Modification. Councilmember Montgomery asked the following questions of Mr. Macleod: a) If Mr. Macleod would grant reciprocal access to the parking in the development. Mr. Macleod said they are still negotiating this issue and it has been one of the stumbling blocks of the project. b) When is the major modification request going to be presented by Macleod Construction? Mr. Macleod responded that the cantilevering of the building poses a problem in securing an anchor tenant. Until they secure an anchor tenant, the Major Modification will not be requested. Barbara Shultz, 116 Sierra Avenue, stated that nothing should be developed in the area of the Ventura Pacific Capital /Macleod proposals until the drainage situation has been corrected. In addition, she cited the weed growth in the area as a problem and said she is concerned about potential fire hazard. Councilmember Talley stated that he had called the City Manager regarding the weed situation in this location and Mr. Talley requested staff to follow up on Mr. Kueny's call to Mr. Macleod. Eloise Brown, 13193 Annette, said she supports Mrs. Bredemann's concern about the lack of lighting on High Street. She said lighting is crucial. Mrs. Brown also stated her concern with the rate increase that Ventura County Cable system is proposing for its customers. She requested the address of Senator Metzenbaum so citizens can protest the increase. Mr. Hare responded that the City can send a letter of protest, but is not able to regulate or enforce a rate structure. In response to Councilmember Montgomery, Mr. Hare said Ventura County Cablevision gave the required notice to the City before implementing the increase. Minutes of the City Council Moorpark, California Page 5 May 6, 1992 In response to Councilmember Perez, Mr. Hare said staff is monitoring legislation and will keep the Council apprised of any changes regarding this item.

He stated that Kavlico Corporation is adamantly opposed to changing the name of Los Angeles Avenue and Princeton to High Street. He said the cost to their corporation for the change of name will be very high. He suggested leaving the street name as Los Angeles Avenue and to clarify the location of Los Angeles Avenue by denoting it as east and west. Councilmember Wozniak stated the reason for the renaming of streets was that when the freeway is completed and the street realignment done, the City will have three streets named Los Angeles Avenue, causing confusion with freeway exit signs. In response to Councilmember Montgomery, Mr. Tackman said changing the name now or later would make no difference in the negative effect on Kavlico. George Shakiban, 6047 Tampa Avenue, Tarzana, spoke for himself and on behalf of the Merchants Association of Varsity Park Plaza. He said the change of name affects the merchants very strongly. They oppose the change of name as it will cause Minutes of the City Council Moorpark, California Page 11 May 6, 1992 confusion for new businesses and for the existing businesses. He said he does not understand why the name needs to be changed. Anna Bell Sessler, 6061 Gabbert Road, was not present to speak, but Eloise Brown indicated that Mrs. Sessler is opposed to the name change. Eloise Brown, 13193 Annette Street, said that on the 101 freeway there are two 23 offramps. She requested that the council seriously consider the impact on small businesses before approving the change of street name from Princeton Avenue to High Street. Christine May, 13853 E. Los Angeles Avenue, also spoke regarding the proposed change of street names. She said she agrees with Mr. Tackman's objections and it is her opinion that it is inappropriate for the Council to change the street names. Helen Taylor, 12708 Misty Grove, spoke in opposition to changing the name of High Street. She said the character and recognition of High Street dictates that it not be changed and requested that the Councilmembers consider the citizens' opinions. Gerald Goldstein, 11932 Los Angeles Avenue, said each of the property owners should be notified in writing and be given a chance to respond before the names of streets are changed. Mayor Lawrason indicated that he cannot support extending the name High Street to the east up to Campus Park Drive.

BY CONSENSUS: By Consensus, the Council determined to allow the public hearing to be reopened. Mayor Lawrason reopened the public hearing. Amelio C. Russo, 6567 Princeton Avenue, spoke as a merchant whose shop is located in Varsity Plaza. He said he is opposed to the street name change. Tony Bellasalma, 11823 Maplecrest, spoke in opposition to the street name change, also. Mayor Lawrason closed the public hearing. Councilmember Wozniak indicated that it would be very confusing to have signage for three Los Angeles Avenue exits on the 118/23 freeway connector. Minutes of the City Council Moorpark, California Page 12 May 6, 1992 Councilmember Montgomery indicated his support of the change of street names. Councilmember Perez said that he could not support the street name changes. He indicated that he did not see any overwhelming need to change them. Councilmember Wozniak suggested that the City request that Caltrans remove the reference to Los Angeles Avenue on the Collins and Princeton offramps. He said there could be signage at the bottom of the offramp indicating the direction to Los Angeles Avenue and the direction to Princeton. He said there should be an added sign on the freeway designating which offramp to use to access the High Street area. MOTION: Councilmember Perez moved to adopt Resolution No. 92- renaming Villa Avenue to Villa Campesina Avenue and further directed staff to make the recommendation to CalTrans regarding changes in signage as suggested by Councilmember Wozniak above. THE MOTION WAS WITHDRAWN. Councilmember Montgomery indicated the sections of the resolution that would have to be changed.
