Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 3 February 6, 2002
the numbers contained in Revised Table Nos. 17.20.050
and 17.20.060.
Mr. Traffenstedt read written statement cards from
Moorpark residents Tony Geivet and Robert Demyan
supporting the ordinance, but requesting clarification
of certain items in the ordinance.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Ms. Traffenstedt
summarized staff's response to the comments received
from AT &T Wireless and the public. She confirmed that
the ordinance had been corrected with respect to
converting the term "should" to "shall" and that staff
would need additional time to analyze the RF limits.
Mayor Hunter recommended that staff be directed to
resolve the outstanding issues contained in the
correspondence received to date and prepare the final
ordinance for introduction at the next meeting.
Councilmember Millhouse commented on the lateness of
the comments received from AT &T Wireless and their
lack of attendance at the public hearing.
In response to Councilmember Harper's concerns about
field surveys, Ms. Traffenstedt replied that a firm
could be hired to perform field surveys or staff could
maintain a list of qualified consultants and collect a
fee from the carriers to cover the costs.
In response to Councilmember Harper's inquires about
the permit process being conducted at the Planning
Commission level, Ms. Traffenstedt replied that the
Administrative Permit process does require notice at
300 feet and the hearing is typically held in the late
afternoon. She stated that the Council would need to
direct staff on whether consideration of public right -
of -ways should be conducted at the administrative
level.
Mayor Hunter stated that staff should be prepared to
justify their recommendation with the understanding
that at least two Councilmembers believe that an
administrative process for this type of permit is not
appropriate. He recommended that staff be directed to
respond to comments received on the ordinance.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 4 February 6, 2002

Residential Planned Development No. 99 -02 and Vesting
Tentative Tract Map 5187, to Develop 250 Single- family
Homes on a Portion of a 350 -acre Site, Located on the
West Side of Walnut Canyon Road, Approximately 3,500
Feet North of Casey Road. Applicant: West Pointe
Homes. (Continued Public Hearing closed from
Adjourned City Council meeting of January 23, 2002).
Staff Recommendation: 1) Adopt Resolution No. 2002-
1937 approving General Plan Amendment 99 -01; and 2)
Adopt Resolution No. 2002 -1938 approving Vesting
Tentative Tract Map 5187 and Residential Planned
Development Permit No. 99 -02, subject to conditions of
approval, and to become effective upon the effective
date of the Zoning Ordinance.
Ms. Traffenstedt gave the staff report.
In response to Councilmember Millhouse regarding the
future sidewalk contributions process, Mr. Kueny
replied that this project is now proposed to be
responsible for sidewalks along the west side of
Walnut Canyon Road from the Spring Road intersection
south along the project frontage and including the 2-
acre affordable housing site. He stated that the
other projects, Suncal and SP1, would be responsible
for sidewalks on either or both the west and east
sides of the southerly end of this project. He
further stated that he believes that it is an
equitable condition for this project.
In response to Councilmember Millhouse regarding
Condition 41 relating to undergrounding utilities, Mr.
Kueny replied that the developer is obligated to make
the full -width frontage improvements.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Paae 5
February 6, 2002
Councilmember Millhouse stated that there were areas
where the applicant should and should not be obligated
to pay for undergrounding improvements and questioned
whether there was a nexus with this project to perform
all the proposed improvements on the east side of
Walnut Canyon Road.
Mayor Hunter stated that the utilities should be
undergrounded and agreed that the improvements should
take place on the west side, however, he too
questioned whether there was a nexus to obligate the
developer to provide improvements on the east side.
In response to Councilmember Mikos regarding the
Walnut Canyon Corridor Plan, Mr. Kueny replied that
the corridor study did not address undergrounding of
the utilities. He stated that it would be the City' s
position to require Suncal to underground on the east
side of its project. He also confirmed that staff did
shift the obligation to undergrounding versus
requiring additional sidewalk improvements to the
south.
In response to Councilmember Harper, Mr. Kueny stated
that there are approximately 12 poles to be
undergrounded along the east side of Walnut Canyon
Road.
Ms. Traffenstedt added that the area for
undergrounding consists of the length of the Walnut
Canyon Road improvements for the project.
In response to Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Kueny
clarified that the 12 poles are located at or near the
southern terminus of the Tract, and then proceeding
north.
Ms. Traffenstedt added that most of the poles are
located at the shoulder and only one is in the slope
area.
Councilmember Millhouse stated his concerns regarding
trading -off costs of sidewalks and reiterated that
there was no nexus to undergrounding utilities on the
east side of Walnut Canyon Road.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 6 February 6, 2002
In response to Councilmember Harper, Mr. Brown replied
that removal of a utility pole is about one -third of
the cost of undergrounding it.
In response to several questions posed by
Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Kueny replied that the reason
behind the condition is to provide full width
improvements. He stated that the Morrison project
does have some undergrounding issues as it approaches
Charles Street.
Councilmember Wozniak recommended that the wording be
changed to reflect the City's desire to underground
poles located in the right -of -way rather than to
relocate them.
Mr. Kueny reiterated that the Walnut Canyon Corridor
Plan did not address whether Suncal was responsible
for the entire sidewalk improvement along the east and
west sides of Walnut Canyon Road. He stated that
staff is recommending that West Pointe fund the
undergrounding knowing that later projects could be
conditioned to do 1000 of the sidewalks south of this
project to Casey Road.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Daly replied that
after the last meeting, his understanding was that
West Pointe would be responsible for sidewalks, curbs,
and gutter; and that undergrounding the utilities on
the other side of the street was not a requirement.
Councilmember Millhouse inquired about setting up an
assessment district and raised concern about the
fairness of conditioning this applicant to shoulder
the entire undergrounding effort.
Councilmember Harper stated that he would like to see
the staff recommended language left intact.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Councilmember Millhouse
replied that he could support Councilmember Wozniak's
proposal with an additional requirement that if there
is a dispute between staff and the applicant regarding
right -of -way, then the matter should be forwarded to
the Planning Commission for review.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 7 February 6, 2002
Mr. Kueny stated that if the design plans approved by
the City and Caltrans require the utility poles to
come down, then they would be undergrounded.
Mr. Kueny noted that the only projects left to pay for
improvements along Walnut Canyon Road are Suncal and
Specific Plan No. 1.
Councilmember Mikos stated that she agreed with
Councilmember Harper that the undergrounding condition
should remain as written.
Councilmember Wozniak commented that he would support
requiring the poles to be undergrounded and leaving in
Condition 41.
MOTION: Councilmember Harper moved and Councilmember
Mikos seconded a motion to adopt Resolution No. 2002 -1937.

10. PRESENTATION /ACTION /DISCUSSION:
A. Consider Receiving Public Comments on Unmet Transit
Needs in Ventura County and Forwarding the Comments to
the Ventura County Transportation Commission to be
Included in its Annual Process of Making Findings and
Determinations Regarding Unmet Transit Needs. Staff
Recommendation: Receive comments from the public and
the Council, and direct the City Clerk to forward a
summary of the comments to the Ventura County
Transportation Commission to be included in the Unmet
Transit Needs Comments submitted to the Commission
prior to the February 11, 2002 deadline.
Mr. Brand gave the staff report.
Councilmember Mikos discussed the importance of this
issue and stated that she wanted to give the Council
and the public the opportunity to provide their own
views to the VCTC.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 10 February 6, 2002
Mr. Brand provided the telephone and email information
for the public to send their comments for the VCTC
Unmet Needs Process.
Gerald Goldstein, a Moorpark resident, discussed the
bus service in the City of Moorpark and recommended
later bus schedules for evening travel within the City
of Moorpark and that there should be VISTA buses on
Highway 118 from Moorpark to the County of Ventura
Government Center, and from Fillmore to Moorpark.
Gerald Squier, Moorpark Representative of the CTAC
(Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee) reported
that he attended the VCTC public hearing. He noted
that several people did not understand what the proper
processes were to get the laws changed. He stated
that some comments received were too general, i.e.
that better service is wanted, and that comments on
the needs should be more specific and clearly
addressed. He commented that the VISTA 101 service
needs to be consistent, which would increase rider-
ship throughout the day. He pointed out that the
consistency issue was a problem due to costs
associated with having a backup driver available
during the lunch period. He also suggested more
focussed service to the more frequently traveled areas
in town such as the shopping centers. He asked that
VISTA -East be extended to the Mission Bell Shopping
Center on West Los Angeles Avenue in Moorpark.
Councilmember Mikos discussed VCTC's goals from last
years' Unmet Transit Needs process, and noted that
VCTC did not evaluate the progress of those findings
and prepare a report card for public review at the
beginning of this year's comment period as requested
by CTAC. She stated that it was impossible to know
how well they did or if they accomplished their goals.
She also stated that VCTC should be requested to
examine and study a way to create a marketing program
to increase ridership at various community colleges.
She noted that the public was not aware of how VCTC
has met that goal either.
Mr. Brand stated that he has received comments from
transit riders with regard to keeping the bus going on
City holidays; extending the subsidized taxi service
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 11 February 6, 2002
to senior citizens; and on the difficulty of getting
out of the south parking lot at the Moorpark station.
In response to Councilmember Mikos regarding transfers
from VISTA routes to the local buses, Mr. Brand
replied that there is no free transfer system;
however, there is a universal GoVentura SmartCard pass
that is good on all the systems. He stated that
riders complain that the discount rate of 10% is not
that good, and that a rider would need to use a
monthly pass on forty one -way trips per month before
the monthly pass provides an economic incentive. He
further stated that students and workers who get an
occasional ride do not benefit.
Councilmember Mikos stated that VCTC should evaluate
improving the discount rate to attract more riders.
Councilmember Harper requested information on whether
there had been any comments on the system from Cal
State University Channel Islands due to their
expansion efforts.
Councilmember Wozniak stated that Cal State University
Channel Islands was using the SmartCard system and
anticipates that it will be very well used by the
students on the campus since shuttles go from the
campus to Camarillo and Oxnard. He stated that next
month a national transit group is coming to look at
the SmartCard program and how it is rapidly growing.
He stated that all buses include the SmartCard and
each bus system throughout the County accepts them, so
when you buy the card, it is universal and makes it
easier to use throughout each jurisdiction. He noted
that VCTC is working on the report card, but other
priorities have taken precedence. He stated that he
was elected Vice Chair of the Commission on Friday and
his goal is to get the report card out sooner.
Councilmember Mikos stated that the City should do
this each year and have a public discussion on an
annual basis to increase awareness.
CONSENSUS: It was the consensus of the City Council to
direct staff to summarize the comments and submit them to
VCTC prior to the February 11, 2002, deadline.

He stated that the area north of Specific Plan No. 2

J. Consider Deferring General Plan Amendment (GPA)
Prescreening Application Processing for Two
Applications Filed in 2001 (GPA Prescreen 2001 -02 and
2001 -03) and One Application Filed in 2000 (GPA
Prescreen 2000 -02), and any other Developer- Initiated
GPA Prescreening Application until the November 2002
Application Filing Period. Staff Recommendation:
Direct staff to defer processing and consideration of
the GPA Prescreening Applications until the November
2002 filing period.
Councilmember Harper stated that this item was pulled
for discussion because DeWayne Jones' application was
for a rather long deferment He noted that he was
sensitive to the low staffing levels in the Community
Development Department, but that the project should be
moved forward.
Councilmember Mikos concurred with Councilmember
Harper's comments and asked whether the City should
let one go forward or treat them all the same.
Mr. Kueny replied that if the General Plan Amendment
processing is approved the application would sit on
the shelf behind the other applications, and that the
only difference with Dr. Jones' application is that it
had already gone through the pre- review process. He
requested that staff be given four to six months to
work on it and report back to the committee and
Council.
