Mr. Loftus gave the staff report.
Joe Ahearn, Acres Realty, 484 E. Los Angeles Avenue, No.
214, representing the applicant, discussed outstanding
issues, including onsite and offsite street improvements,
undergrounding of utilities, and the type of walls to be
provided. He requested that the existing street
configuration for the intersection of Third and Bard
Streets be maintained. He stated that the applicant was
amendable to removing the power pole in front of the
existing home on the project site as well as another pole
on the site, and that they agreed with no on- street
parking along their frontage. He also stated that they
would like to keep payment of an in -lieu fee for
affordable housing as an option payable at occupancy
approval for the first home.
In response to Mayor Hunter regarding the sideyard
setback, Mr. Ahearn stated that if a window was added to
the side elevation, a redesign might be necessary, and
that they would prefer a functional window.
Juan Alcaraz, 337 Bard Street, expressed concern with the
impact to his parent's property if the project resulted
in the widening of Bard Street. He stated that he was
concerned about removal of the fire hydrant and the road
being closer to his house.
Mr. Kueny stated that the Ad Hoc Committee had not been
provided with the cost to flatten out the curve for the
street intersection.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 4
December 1, 1999
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Ahearn replied that they
did not have the complete estimate. He stated that the
cost of street improvements would be about $5,000 to move
the hydrant and to create the curb cut.
In response to Councilmember Evans regarding designing
all lots to front on Millard Street, Don Haase, Haase
Engineering, replied that the layout would not work due
to the square footage required for the minimum lot size.
Mr. Kueny stated that the Council may want to consider a
revision to Lot No. 6 to move the driveway to the other
end of the lot and minimize the impact to the
intersection.
Councilmember Wozniak commented on his concern with
impacting the Alcaraz home and concurred with revising
the driveway to make the area safer.
Mayor Hunter stated that the developer should make the
change on his property rather than taking other property
offsite.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Loftus stated that
staff's initial recommendation was to require the street
improvements onsite.
In response to Councilmember Evans, Mr. Loftus stated
that the Planning Commission recommended that the street
continue to function as is.
Councilmember Harper stated that they should stay with
the City standard, that there was a line -of -sight issue,
and that the loss of property was very small for the
corner house.
Councilmember Evans commented that the existing residents
across the street from the project site should not be
impacted.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Loftus stated that the
original staff recommendation was to install the knuckle
design, with additional right of way taken from the
project site to finish the flare out and the transition,
and the center line moved in an effort to channel the
traffic into the wider section of the street.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Ahearn stated that the
hardscape estimate of $5,000 does not take into
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 5
December 1, 1999
consideration property acquisition and undergrounding of
utilities.
Councilmember Harper recommended a compromise with
construction of the knuckle design on the project site
and School District property and leaving the property
across the street intact. He asked if Redevelopment
Agency funds could be used for land acquisition.
In response to Councilmember Harper, Mr. Kueny stated
that land acquisition should be the applicant's
responsibility.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Haase stated that just
the land acquisition for the knuckle would cost
approximately $50,000. He also stated that he did not
have an estimate available for the applicant's frontage
and the School District property for paving, curb,
gutter, and sidewalk.
Mr. Gilbert stated that all of the curb on the east side
of the street would need to be rebuilt, in addition to
the property frontage.
In response to Councilmember Evans, Mr. Loftus stated
that the diagram on page 169 of the staff report,
Attachment J, shows a City standard.
In response to Councilmember Evans regarding Attachment
J, Mr. Lovett explained that the width of the road would
be reduced from that existing, but that the area to be
reduced is not "driveable" area. He also stated that the
flow for traffic would be improved with no parking
restrictions.
Councilmember Harper proposed requiring the improvements
on the project site and School District property.
Councilmember Wozniak stated that he is leaning towards
the design recommended by Councilmember Harper. He also
stated that improving the flow of traffic makes sense.
Councilmember Rodgers stated that Councilmember Harper's
suggestion makes sense and she will support his
recommendation.
Councilmember Evans stated that he cannot support the
revised design, because looking at the diagram on page
169, there is no way it will work.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 6 December 1, 1999
In response to Councilmember Evans, Mr. Loftus stated
that the diagram on page 169 is not exact, but that the
idea is to increase the radius.
Councilmember Harper stated that the improvements would
need to be redesigned so that the radius would be on the
applicant's property and the Flory School site.
In response to Councilmember Evans, Mr. Loftus stated
that Lot 6 would remain buildable, although the footprint
for the home may need to be revised.
Mr. Kueny stated that the applicant would need to request
a modification if Lot 6 is found to be not buildable, or
approval can be delayed.
Mr. Ahearn expressed concern regarding meeting the
minimum lot size and stated that requiring the
improvements was not fair given the project impact.
Mayor Hunter stated that the improvements should not be
entirely the applicant's responsibility.
Councilmember Wozniak stated that if the applicant agrees
not to take access from Bard and Third Streets, then he
could agree not to require the street improvements.
Councilmember Evans stated that if a house is built on
Lot 6, then the City could not construct a knuckle in the
future.
Councilmember Harper stated
to City standards would not

that requiring construction

Mayor Hunter stated that there must be some measure of
fairness and that the entire exaction for street
improvements should not be borne by the applicant.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council concluded that the
applicant would not be required to construct street
improvements to adhere to the City's standard for a knuckle at
the intersection of Bard Street and Third Street. The existing
improvements may remain; however, any new curb cut that may be
proposed for Lot 6 as shown on the proposed tentative map
shall be relocated to a point near the northerly property
line.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 7 December 1, 1999
Mayor Hunter asked for Council comments regarding
utilities.
Councilmember Harper stated that utilities should be
undergrounded whenever possible and that consistent
standards should be applied.
In response to Councilmember Rodgers, Mr. Loftus stated
that the Ad Hoc Committee discussed removing the
northwest corner to southwest corner poles, the pole just
north of the northwest corner, and the pole across the
street.
Mayor Hunter stated that with the modified intersection,
the pole across the street should no longer be a
candidate for removal, although the wires should be
placed underground.
CONSENSUS: All existing and proposed utilities shall be
undergrounded between the northwest corner and the southwest
corner of the project site and including the existing utility
pole just north of the northwest corner, if determined by the
Director of Community Development to be feasible and not add
a significant cost to the project. In addition, the overhead
wires that connect the property line utility poles to the
utility pole on the northwest corner of Bard and Third Streets
shall be placed underground.
Mayor Hunter stated that walls were no longer an issue
and asked for comments regarding affordable housing.
In response to Councilmember Rodgers, Mr. Loftus stated
that the requirement was currently to require one lower -
income unit onsite or one very low- income unit offsite.
In response to Councilmember Harper, Mr. Loftus stated
that the Ad Hoc Committee had not recommended the in lieu
fee, although that language was included in the standard
condition language.
Mayor Hunter stated that the affordable unit should be
provided onsite but that the condition should allow the
in -lieu fee for consistency with other projects.
Councilmember Rodgers stated other projects recently
approved were not infill in the Redevelopment Area.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 8 December 1, 1999
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Ahearn stated that the
developer requests that the three options remain
available.
Councilmember Wozniak stated he agreed with Councilmember
Rodgers and that this project should have an onsite
affordable housing unit.
Councilmember Harper stated that he concurred and that an
onsite affordable unit should be required.
Councilmember Evans stated that he also agreed.
Mr. Ahearn questioned whether the affordable unit had to
be the same size or if it could be constructed smaller,
such as approximately 1,000 square feet.
Mr. Loftus stated that the condition requires a minimum
of 1,350 square feet and that the affordable unit have a
similar appearance.
Mayor Hunter stated that there should not be a compromise
in standards.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to require a
lower- income affordable housing unit to be constructed onsite
with a minimum square footage of 1,350 square feet and a
similar appearance to other housing units built on the project
site.
In response to Mayor Hunter regarding setback
requirements, Mr. Loftus stated that the staff
recommendation was to require that windows on side
elevations be placed at a height that would not require
a larger setback or impact neighboring properties. He
also stated that a permit modification approval would be
required for a variation to the approved design in excess
of 20 percent.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Ahearn stated that the
developer agrees to route all construction traffic from
the Millard Street access with the exception of
improvements required along Third and Bard Streets such
as undergrounding of utilities.
Mr. Kueny stated that construction site management will
be required to minimize impacts to Flory School.

issues had been addressed.
AT THIS POINT in the meeting, a recess was declared. The time
was 8:44 p.m. The Council reconvened at 9:01 p.m.
Mr. Kueny stated that since the size of the affordable
unit was required to be 1,350 square feet, then the
applicant should not be allowed to reduce the square
footage by any amount without returning to the Council.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined that the
affordable unit cannot be modified to be smaller than 1,350
square feet without subsequent Council approval of a
modification to the Residential Planned Development Permit.
Mayor Hunter closed the public hearing.
