He commented that he is looking for

to the future of the railroad station
He also commented that he is pleased
have another gas station.
Steven Graven, 287 Casey Road, commented that due to the
relocation of the Boys and Girls Club to the Casey Road site,
there is traffic congestion on Casey Road. He made notice
that at the intersection with Walnut Canyon Road a driver can
only make a right turn which is a hindrance. He also
commented that the crime in this area has increased and the
offenders are escaping by way of the storm drain. He
recommended that the City put bars on the storm drain tunnels.
In response to Mayor Lawrason, Sergeant Rouse agreed that the
storm drains are used as an escape route in the area.
Mayor Lawrason explained that any modification of the storm
drain structure is not within the jurisdiction of the City,
but lies with the Ventura County Flood Control District.
In response to the NO LEFT TURN situation at the end of Casey
Road onto Walnut Canyon Road, Councilmember Montgomery stated
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California 3 April 7, 1993
that the reason this is prohibited is because there is not
appropriate sight distance for left turns to be allowed at
that intersection.
Kenneth D. Sherman, 15460 Dracena Avenue, expressed support
for the smoking ordinance. He said nonsmokers should not be
subjected to second hand smoke.
Diana Prickett, 12324 Alderglen Street, spoke as a member of
the Moorpark High School Parent - Teacher Student Association.
She indicated that there will be an arts and crafts fair on
April 24 from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. to raise money for student
scholarships. She requested that their organization be
allowed to place signs publicizing the event at several
locations within the city: 1) Spring Road and Tierra Rejada
Road; 2) Spring Road and Peach Hill Road; 3) Spring Road and
Los Angeles Avenue; 4) Los Angeles Avenue and Moorpark Avenue;
5) Moorpark Avenue and High Street; and 6) Collins Drive and
Campus Park Drive. She said the City has advised them that
they must abide by the sign guidelines for a boutique
situation and she does not find this acceptable as they want
to keep the signs up for longer than those guidelines allow.
She requested support from the Council to modify the
requirements.
Mr. Kueny stated that action on this matter may set a
precedent for future events. He said the organization had
been directed to follow the guidelines for boutique signage,
but that they want to keep the signs posted longer and the
signs are larger than the approved size. Mr. Kueny continued
by saying that the City could restrict posting signs on City
right of way (Spring Road and Los Angeles Avenue and Moorpark
Avenue and High Street), and let the PTSA adhere to the
private property posting requirements. He suggested that
staff be directed to work with the PTSA regarding the posting
of signs on the four private property locations.
Roseann Mikos, 14371 E. Cambridge Street, commented that City
staff should be commended for the timely graffiti removal they
have been doing recently.

Construction. Ms. Elias requested that the Council delay any
decision in this regard until they have the benefit of the

smoking ordinance.

of the smoking ordinance.
Judy Bysshe, 1187 Norwich Lane, Ventura, said that she is in
favor of the smoking ordinance being adopted and she applauded
the proposed action on the part of the City Council.
Dortha Fiscus, 13537 Shady Point Drive, commented on item 8.M.
She challenged the legality of changing a permit 5 - 7 years
after the house has been sold. She said if it is changed
later, the permit loses its validity.
Ruth Farabaugh, 13543 E. Cedarpine, spoke as a member of the
North View Homeowners' Association. She said the "harmony of
external design" is being violated by the approval of the
sheet metal extensions on the fireplace chimneys. She
commented further that the homeowners deserve better treatment
than they have been afforded by Pardee Construction in this
matter.
Lori Rutter, 11611 Pinedale Road, expressed disappointment
that the City has not taken action to police the willful
misconduct of Urban West Communities with the downsizing of
the Tuscany models.

11.F., Concert at Happy Camp Park. He commented that the

disapproval purposes at this time.

Color Port. He asked the Council for an update on what is
happening with the Foster case as he is a tenant on one of the
Foster Enterprises properties.
In response to Mr. Paikin, Ms. Kane said the court has not yet
ruled on the case and no judgement has been entered.
7. COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Councilmember Montgomery said he attended the Ventura County
Waste Commission Meeting for the month of March and said the
draft legislation to form the Waste Management Authority is
now in a form that is completely different and it is his
recommendation that, unless the legislation is changed, the
City of Moorpark not join the Authority.
Councilmember Montgomery continued by stating he has attended
two meetings of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy Board
and has provided Councilmembers with reports. He said he also
attended the East County Wasteshed Task Force meetings and
said the City will be working with the Authority to reduce the
rate of increase in the trash hauling fees, if not to lower
them. He indicated that this item will be coming to the
Council at a future date. He also wished his wife a Happy
Fourth Wedding Anniversary and his son a Happy Third Birthday.

Councilmember Montgomery referred to a letter he had

company outlined the type of chimney extension they
manufacture and what the type of material must be used

to comply with the manufacturer's wishes.
In response to Councilmember Montgomery, Mr. Aguilera
said the citizens are able to appeal the approval of a
minor modification.
Councilmember Montgomery also requested an answer
regarding the changing of permits after the house has
been sold.
Mr. Aguilera said the violation occurred at the time of
construction; therefore, the minor modification applied
for is valid in terms of the fact that the builder is
still responsible for that code violation. He confirmed
that the modification request is the proper process to
follow.
With regard to Condition No. 6, Mr. Aguilera said it
should be at the City's discretion whether or not to
conduct the inspection.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California 9
April 7, 1993
Councilmember Hunter said he does not want to alienate
Pardee and drive them away from the negotiations. He
asked if continuing this item for two weeks would be a
hardship and would the City still be afforded the same
right to appeal.
Mr. Aguilera responded that if the Council continues this
item it must be done through the appeal process because
the time would expire before the next meeting. The
Council would then have to wait until the May 5th meeting
and conduct a public hearing at that time. He indicated
that the final date of appeal is the 9th of April.
In response to Councilmember Perez, Mr. Aguilera said the
distinction between the extensions being constructed of
metal or stucco is one of aesthetic value.

and Los Angeles Avenues. Staff Recommendation: Direct
staff as deemed appropriate.
Mr. Aguilera gave the staff report.
In response to Mayor Lawrason, Mr. Aguilera confirmed
that there had not been substantial discussion about
alcohol sales at the Planning Commission level. He said
there was discussion about delivery time and the
Commission determined that delivery times would be
allowed anytime in the 24 -hour period as trucks coming in
and out at night would be less harmful than during the
day. The Commission also left the proviso that if the
late delivery times became a problem, the hours could be
changed.
Mr. Aguilera explained that the Planning Commission's
recommendation is that the driveway should straddle the
two properties to enable this applicant full use of it.
No action was taken by the Council on this item.

Councilmember Perez also mentioned that he received an
invitation to the City's Annual Easter Egg Hunt, which is
to be held at 10:00 a.m. at the former Moorpark High
School football field.
Councilmember Montgomery announced that Monday, April 19,
the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy is sponsoring a
field trip tour to Rim of the Valley trails in the east
Santa Susana Mountains. He said the tour will begin in

AT THIS POINT in the meeting, the City Clerk announced that
time had arrived for the Council to reordering the agenda.
The time was 10:30 p.m.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to consider
Item 11.F. first and then to take the remaining items in the
order in which they appear on the agenda.
11.F. Consider Staff Response to Ventura County's Request for
Comments on the Application by Moorpark Athletic
Community Complex (MACC) to Host a Country Western
Concert at the Happy Camp Recreational Area. Staff
Recommendation: Concur with staff response.
Mr. Aguilera gave the staff report.
Mayor Lawrason said he wants to support this kind of
activity, but he is having difficulty with the proposed
location.
Councilmember Montgomery said the issue is whether this
activity is appropriate for this location. He said the
logical place to hold this event is at the high school
stadium. He said the application is not complete,
circulation to this site is inadequate either by Campus
Park Drive or Broadway. He said the City does not deem
this intensive of a use an allowable use in a designated
open space area. He said the County needed to be
notified immediately that there are substantial
environmental impacts to this application, that an EIR
is needed, that biological /ecological, traffic,
circulation, noise, air pollution and dust must be
considered; furthermore, a biological study needs to be
made to determine if sensitive species are present on the
proposed site. He indicated that the bringing on site of
vehicles over roads that are not to standard is totally
unacceptable to the City. He said the potential for
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California 12 April 7, 1993
health and safety injury and fire hazard is extremely
high.
Jim Hartley, 5950 Gabbert Road, said he is in regular
contact with the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. He
said he is not aware of any contact that the Conservancy
has had from MACC. He said the appropriate place to have
this event is at the Moorpark High School stadium.
Mark P. Beers, 6891 N. Westwood, was not present to
speak, but left a note that the concert should be moved
to Moorpark College or the Community Park.
Carolyn Poleri, 6863 Trojan Court, spoke in opposition to
the concert being held at Happy Camp Canyon Regional
Park.
Bill Poleri, 6863 Trojan Court, said he does not believe
the MACC will realize any profit in this event as they
must bear the cost of sanitation, trash, electricity,
liability insurance and many other things.
Barbara Loczi, 11658 Blossomwood Court, spoke
representing the Moorpark Athletic Complex Committee.
She said the MACC has no intention of shortcutting the
process or not taking care of needs that must be met.
She said Rory Skei of the Santa Monica Mountains
Conservancy has been contacted early in the process. She
said one of the reasons for requesting Happy Camp as the
site of the event was to replicate something that had
been done previously in another State for a Country
Western concert. She said it will attract top calibre
entertainers if this is allowed to happen. She said the
application has been filed with the County as a Mitigated
Negative Declaration. She said the MACC is not tied to
QUOR in any way. She said she would be willing to
provide answers to Council questions in writing and
requested information from the City regarding exactly
what permits would be necessary from the City.
In response to Councilmember Montgomery, Ms. Loczi said
their organization cannot afford to do an environmental
impact report. She also responded that MACC had talked
to the Sheriff's Department about security and parking
control.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California 13 April 7, 1993
In response to Councilmember Montgomery, Ms. Loczi said
she hopes the City will consider that MACC is a nonprofit
organization and take that into consideration in charging
fees for staff time.
Eloise Brown, 13193 Annette Street, addressed the process
of the agenda and the public being notified of this item.
She said the public should have had the opportunity to
comment on this process. In addition, Mrs. Brown spoke
in opposition to the concert being held at Happy Camp
Campground.
Roseann Mikos, 14371 E. Cambridge Street, spoke
representing the Campus Park neighborhood and as a docent
for the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. She spoke in
opposition to the concert being held at Happy Camp
Campground.
Councilmember Montgomery indicated that portable
generators would not be acceptable because there would be
contamination of the soil from their use.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council directed staff to send
a letter to the County indicating the City's opposition to
this application and listing the reasons as discussed this
evening.
AT THIS POINT in the meeting, the Mayor called a recess. The
time was 12:17 a.m.
The Council reconvened at 12:27 a.m.
A. Consider Appropriation of Community Development Block
Grant Funds for 1993(94 of $210,038. Staff
Recommendation: Approve Budget & Finance Committee

Don Reynolds gave the staff report.
Mayor Lawrason commented that the difficult part of this
process is choosing the projects from the many
applications that are received. He explained that the
programs chosen to receive funds are those that will best
benefit the citizens of Moorpark.
Councilmember Perez said he hopes it is still the
Council's intent to use CDBG funds for affordable housing
in the future. He stated that the administrative
reporting should be documented.
