Councilmember Wozniak stated he wished further discussion on

Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 6
July 15, 1992
Mr. Gilbert provided a supplementary report and said the
infrastructure of the Arroyo Vista Community Park has been
determined to cost $400,000 more than anticipated. It will
be necessary to reduce the scope of work to occur in Phase I
as the City currently does not have the funds to pay for all
the work specified in the bid documents. Cost savings may be
effected by delaying some of the drainage improvements until
Phase II or by making modifications to the extension of the
roadway system.
MOTION: Councilmember Montgomery moved and Councilmember Wozniak
seconded a motion to make the necessary modifications to the bid
specification documents to meet the cost saving requirements; to
delay the bid opening for Phase I until August 24; and to bring
the results of the bid opening back to the Council at their first
scheduled meeting in September. The motion carried by unanimous
voice vote.
M. Consider Approval of Design Plans for the Construction of the
Rail Station Parking Lot. Staff Recommendation: Approve the
design plans and authorize construction.
Councilmember Montgomery said staff should contact the owners of
Kahoots Feed Store to check the feasibility of coordinating the
paving activity with them. Their desire is to have the paving of
their parking lot done at the same time as the Rail Station
parking lot. It must be understood that this will be done at no
expense to the City.
MOTION: Councilmember Montgomery moved and Councilmember Wozniak
seconded a motion to approve the design plans and authorize
construction of the Rail Station parking lot as amended above.
The motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
9. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
None.
10. COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS:
Councilmember Montgomery stated that with the revised Rules of
Procedure, the portion of the agenda which addresses the Public
Comment procedure must be modified by staff to reflect the

Procedure will be revised by staff to reflect that change
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 7
July 15, 1992
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined that the speakers
will be limited to three minutes each, applicants /proponents of
the item will speak first with the Mayor making that
determination, and that no rebuttals will be allowed by public
speakers during the discussion /action portion of the agenda.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to revise the
Rules of Procedure as stated above.
11. ACTION /DISCUSSION ITEMS:
A. Consider Authorization to Advertise for Receipt of Bids for
the Construction of Charles Street Storm Drain Street and
Sidewalk Improvement. Staff Recommendation: Approve design
and authorize advertisement for receipt of bids. (Continued
Item 8.C. from July 1, 1992)
Mr. Gilbert gave the staff report.
In response to Mayor Lawrason, Mr. Gilbert provided an
overview of what the scope of work will be in the bid
package.
MOTION: Councilmember Montgomery moved and Councilmember Talley
seconded a motion to direct staff to contact the County
Environmental Health Department to obtain a decision at the
earliest possible time regarding approval or denial of the soils
report; and approve the plans and specifications and authorize the
advertisement for bid with a 90 day period for bid award
consideration by the City. The motion carried by unanimous voice
vote.
B. Consider Revised Pad Elevation and Building Envelopes on
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 4620 - JBH. Staff
Recommendation: Approve the pad elevation and building
envelopes.
Mr. Phelps gave the staff report.
In response to Councilmember Montgomery, Mr. Kueny suggested
that the City Attorney may want to review the City's
subdivision ordinance to see if it addresses the situation of
modifying the pads to make better use of the property
especially in cases where it yielded a larger building pad.
He indicated that typically this sort of change is handled at
staff level and is not considered to be a major modification
until the plans have been approved; however, if a change of
two feet or more in elevation is made it must come to
Council.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 8
July 15, 1992
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to hear public
testimony now and to table this item until later in the meeting
when the City Attorney has had the opportunity to review the
City's Subdivision Ordinance.
David Potter, spoke representing Potter Engineering, 12 North
Ash Street, Ventura. He explained that in a hillside project
the lots are such that they have a 2% slope on the pads and
that it is easy to slip beyond that criteria. He outlined
the differences of elevation on various lots and that the
road is being lowered as a result of one of the conditions of
approval.
Joe Latunski, 289 Casey Road, spoke as an adjacent property
owner. Mr. Latunski spoke in opposition to this development
and expressed concern about improper drainage and requested
that JBH be required to come forth with a plan for flood
control prior to the development being approved. Mr.
Latunski also said he believes this item should warrant a
public hearing as the changes that are being made are major
ones.
AT THIS POINT in the meeting, a recess was declared. The time was
9:05 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 9 :30 p.m.
At the Council's request, Ms. Kane commented on the project
as it relates to the Subdivision Ordinance. She related the
following:
The Subdivision Map Act does not address modifications to
tentative maps, so that process is strictly governed by
Moorpark's own Subdivision Ordinance. Under that Ordinance
a distinction is made between minor modifications and major
modifications to tentative maps. Major modifications require
the commencement of a new process whereby a new tentative map
would be filed and the entire subdivision process would be
initiated over again. Minor modification is a term not
defined in the Code, but there are limitations as to what a
minor modification would consist of. Those limitations are:
1) the modification would not affect the quality or quantity
of required dedication, 2) it would not increase the total
number or significantly alter the configuration of proposed
lots. If those factors did not occur, it would be considered
a minor modification. A minor modification is acted upon by
the Planning Director; however, the Code does provide that
within ten days after the action of the Director any
interested person can object to the decision of the Director.
If that occurs, then it is treated as a major modification,
which requires going back through the entire process.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 9 July 15, 1992
If there is an objection, and the applicant is required to go
back through the process, then that applicant has a choice to
abandon the modifications he is seeking and go forth with the
map as it was originally approved or file for a new tentative
map. Filing for a new tentative map would not extinguish the
existing tentative map and if a new tentative map were
approved, the applicant would have the choice as to which map
would be become final.
Ms. Kane went on to explain that if a decision were made to
treat this as a major modification, and the applicant sought
not to go forward with that process and final the map as it
had originally been approved, then he could come back after
recordation and on a lot -by -lot basis seek a modification and
would only have to have the approval of the Director of
Community Development.
In response to Councilmember Montgomery, Ms. Kane clarified
that the condition states that the subdivider has to include
a requirement in the CC &R's making it clear to any purchaser
that if they wish to modify the envelope they would have to
have the approval of the Director of Community Development.
MOTION: Councilmember Montgomery moved and Councilmember Wozniak
seconded a motion to continue this item to the City Council
meeting of August 19th and direct staff to prepare responses from
the City Attorney to the questions that were discussed above. The
motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined that they would
address the added agenda item, 11.G., at this point in the
meeting.
G. Consider Working Relationship Between City and Senior
Citizens Club and Assumption of Senior Citizen Grant.
Mr. Kueny gave the staff report. He said that Don Reynolds
met with representatives of the Moorpark Senior Citizens Club
Board today. He said the Seniors formerly had a staff
position funded by an Area Agency on Aging grant, this
position is now vacant and the City is interested in having
that grant assigned to the City so the City could employ a
staff person for the Seniors. Contingent upon the Board
approving the assignment of the grant, the City will recruit
for a part -time and a full -time Senior Coordinator. The
salary range is proposed to be from $9.46 - $11.50 per hour.
The City would contract with the Club in the interim to
provide staffing on an as needed and agreed upon basis. The
Senior Citizens' Club will remain responsible for the
building maintenance and the City will not assume
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 10 July 15, 1992
responsibility for operation of the Center until either of
the positions are filled. Staff is recommending that during
the next several weeks, staff work with the Public Works and
Facilities Committee and the Club representatives to develop
proposals for volunteer support that will be needed when the
City assumes responsibility for staffing, fund raising
support and to establish an advisory council to develop
programs and activities for the seniors under direction of
the City Council.
There were no speaker cards for this item.
In response to Mayor Lawrason, Mr. Kueny said the City would
be spending the grant money in the interim. Once the Seniors
inform the City that they concur officially, by Board action,
with the City's proposal, the City would then begin the
recruitment and be able to hire someone in September based
upon whether the State budget is enacted and the Council has
made its final budget decisions. The City could either
provide a part time or a full time position based upon the
budget.
MOTION: Councilmember Montgomery moved and Councilmember Wozniak
seconded a motion to approve the staff recommendation as outlined
by the City Manager above. The motion carried by unanimous voice
vote.
C. Consider General Plan Update Implementation. Staff
Recommendation: Direct staff as deemed appropriate.
Mr. Phelps gave the staff report.
In response to Councilmember Montgomery, Ms. Kane said the
City is entitled to a deposit from the landowner that would
be within the Specific Plan area. The total amount of fees
that the City may collect cannot exceed the cost of preparing
and processing the Specific Plan. To the extent that any
fees are being imposed, as long as those fees do not exceed
the actual cost of preparing the Specific Plan, the fees are
permissible. Any fees that would exceed that would be fees
that a property owner would in essence be voluntarily giving
to the City.
Councilmember Montgomery indicated that the intent is not to
pay for the processing of the Specific Plan, but to recapture
a deficit for the General Plan Update which has already been
completed, and secondly, to pay for processing of certain
ordinances which may or may not have relevance to a Specific
Plan application. Given this, is this fee legal?
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 11
July 15, 1992
Ms. Kane responded that it would fall into the voluntary
category.
Councilmember Montgomery asked if a person can be prohibited
from submitting an application to the City for a period of 6
- 9 months if a voluntary fee is not paid. He asked if that
is consistent with the imposition of a voluntary fee in the
sense that nonpayment of that voluntary fee would obviously
incur a severe penalty for nonpayment.
Ms. Kane said a Specific Plan, just as a General Plan, is not
an item that is mandatory to be processed by the City. She
said she does not recall if there is an underlying land use
that a property owner can avail himself of in the absence of
a Specific Plan or if the only use he can make of his
property is a Specific Plan. She said if the latter is the
case, then we may have a problem.
Ms. Traffenstedt said each of the properties that have
Specific Plan designations also have an overlay designation
which is the original land use prior to the Specific Plan
designation. The Land Use Element makes it clear that if
they do not receive the clearance of the Specific Plan, they
could avail themselves of the overlay designation.
Marshall Milligan spoke representing the Levy Company, 2575
Vista Del Mar, Ventura. He offered the following comments:
1. Regarding the Specific Plan and EIR being prepared by
consultants, he thinks the owners' consultant should be
allowed to contribute to the preparation. He would like
an understanding that provided the owners' consultant
presented a coherent discussion of the issue, they be
allowed to pass on information to the City's consultant.
2. It would be advantageous to have the consultant's
payments laid out in advance and have them paid on a
percentage of progress that has been completed.
3. The fee that is being requested is excessive and he
opposes it.
4. With regard to the deadline, he believes that the
Council should wait until they get the guidelines from
staff.
Francis Okyere, 484 E. Los Angeles Avenue, #210, spoke
representing the Moorpark Chamber of Commerce. He said the
entire recommendation should be reexamined.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 12
July 15, 1992
Tom Schleve, 8160 Happy Camp Road, spoke against the entire
proposal. He believes the approach of this item is
detrimental to bringing development to the City.
Gary Austin, spoke representing Messenger Investment
Corporation, 17512 Von Karman, Irvine. He said his company
is anxious to commence the development of Specific Plan No.
8 and requested the following:
1. Setting the deadline for payment of the Specific Plan
fees by August 10 is premature since the Specific Plan
process application requirements and procedures will not
be finalized by that time. Payment of a reasonable fee
should occur once the City's procedures are in place.
They do intend to pay the required fee by the deadline;
however, payment of the fee as a condition for
initiating the process seems excessive to them.
2. They do not believe it is reasonable or necessary to
"hold off" acceptance of draft Specific Plans until
various ordinances and planning procedures are adopted
as referred to. They believe the Specific Plan process
is tailored to allow staff, Planning Commission and
Council to impose whatever conditions are necessary as
a part of that process. Delaying the specific plan
process for that reason does not serve a useful purpose
and is a hardship on the property owner.
3. His firm believes it is absolutely necessary to select
their own planning consultant.
4. They requested the City to notify LAFCO within the next
week or two and request them to modify the sphere of
influence to include Specific Plan No. 8.
Eloise Brown, 13193 Annette Street, said most of the
ordinances in the City are for the benefit of the City as a
whole. She spoke in opposition to the deadline. She said
imposing a moratorium is not the right thing to do.
Dee Boysen, spoke representing the Building Industry
Association, 24005 Ventura Blvd, Calabasas. She spoke in
opposition to the fees and to the August 10th deadline. Ms.
Boysen submitted a letter to the Deputy City Clerk for
presentation to the City Council and to be included in the
record.
In response to Councilmember Montgomery, Mr. Kueny stated
that the City did not view the deadline as a moratorium. He
said we view it as an objective to help City staff plan their
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 13
July 15, 1992
work. They need to know what they will be working on and the
Council needs to be able to set priorities as to what needs
to be processed first.
Mayor Lawrason indicated that the committee reviewed several
procedures and this seemed to be the best method for
processing the Specific Plans. He indicated that this
procedure is a recommendation and not an action to proceed at
this point.
Councilmember Talley said perhaps each Specific Plan
applicant could put a percentage of their actual cost up
front. Expenses they could pay would help get the process
started. He said the applicants are correct that the City
procedures should be in place before we impose a deadline for
the processing of the Specific Plans.
Councilmember Perez stated that a lot of discussion was held
on the committee level as to the planning consultant being
chosen by the City. He said they brought this recommendation
forward because traditionally the City has selected the
consultant to implement the Specific Plans. He said he would
like more Council discussion on this subject.
Councilmember Talley said if the applicant is excluded from
the process, then the public hearing step is a difficult one.
He said he favors the applicant choosing their own planning
consultant with the concurrence of the City.
Mayor Lawrason said he favors more involvement of the
applicant with the entire process, too.
Councilmember Wozniak stated that the applicants should be
able to use their current consultants with the City having
input to that situation. He added that a percentage of the
fee deposit should be paid based on the percentage of
completion of the process. Milestones would be established
and have to be met on specific dates. He indicated that he
does not agree with the August 10th deadline and that the
City should pay for the hillside ordinance.
Mr. Kueny commented that the dates were not arbitrary. It
was City staff's intent that, during the recess of the
Council, staff would get to a point that they could come back
on August 19 knowing who wants to be in the process and have
EIR and Specific Plan requirements complete. As to the
consultants, Mr. Kueny said the City cannot process all of
the Specific Plans without the use of consultants. Mr. Kueny
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 14 July 15, 1992
added that the City does not want to preclude the applicants'
use of consultants, but we want the Specific Plan consultants
to be an extension of staff. The proposed fee is not a legal
alternative per the City Attorney's advice.
Councilmember Montgomery stated that the City should 1)
delete the condition of a fee, but have staff calculate a
deposit based upon certain criteria, to be collected at the
time the Specific Plan application is submitted, 2) delete
the August 10th deadline, 3) staff should submit at the
August 19th meeting the recommendations for which
applications will be processed, 4) between now and August
19th the Committee should meet with representatives of
Specific Plan No. 8 to seek agreement for them to pay for the
deficit that exists with the General Plan Update as they are
the only ones who have not as yet contributed to the expense
of the General Plan Update, and discuss with them that they
enter into an agreement to pay for a sphere of influence
amendment application, 5) the City should not wait to process
Specific Plans for the passage of the Hillside Ordinance, 6)
the Traffic Improvement Fee and the processing of the
Specific Plans should be processed concurrently and the costs
to develop it should be identified and charged to a separate
new fund into which will go the exactions that developers
will pay, 7) the use of consultants is necessary to process
the Specific Plans, but specific plan applicants may hire
their own consultant to prepare their specific plan and them
submit the plan ' to the City,'; for review which review may be
done by a City hired consultant 8) between now and August
19th, the applicants should notify the City of consultants
and their qualifications, and City staff will evaluate and
comprise a list of consultants.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to direct staff
to take action as indicated by Councilmember Montgomery above.
D. Consider Approval of an East County Joint Powers Authority
for the Development of a Waste Processing Facility. Staff
Recommendation: Approve Waste Commission Action Plan and
consider action on JPA commitment for waste processing
facilities.
Ms. Lindley gave the staff report.
MOTION: Councilmember Perez moved and Councilmember Talley
seconded a motion to provide Councilmember Montgomery with the
authorization to commit the City to the County wide JPA if the
City's concerns are alleviated or to seek to form an East County
JPA if that is in the best interest of Moorpark, to concur with
the Ventura County Waste Commission's Action Plan for Regional
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 15
July 15, 1992
Waste Processing and Transfer Facility Implementation, and to
consider alternative actions on a JPA for regional waste
processing facilities. The motion carried by unanimous voice
vote.
AT THIS POINT in the meeting a recess was declared. The time was
11:30 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 11:40 p.m.
E. Consider Report On Proposed At—Risk Youth Program. Staff
Recommendation: Direct staff to proceed with the development
of an agreement with MUSD and E1 Concilio for an "At Risk
Youth Program ".
Councilmember Perez stepped down from the dais due to a
possible conflict of interest with this item.
Ms. Lindley gave the staff report.
Mayor Lawrason commented that referrals to this program will
