6. PUBLIC COMMENT:
Margarita Riley, representing the Moorpark Arts Commission,
addressed the Council requesting a waiver on the rental fee
for the Apricot Room so that she could provide dance
lessons to the youth in the community over the summer
school break.
Mayor Hunter recommended that Ms. Riley contact the City
Manager regarding putting her request on a future agenda,
since the Council would be unable to act on her request at
this meeting.
Daanish Arasto, Naseem Arastu, Doreen Bennett, Mark
Carroll, Rick Hansen, Bassim (Sam) Hijaz, David Jacobs,
Patrick Leyden, Mark Nizdil, Melissa Nizdil, Yvette
Palmquist, Ashok Patel, Mike Patel, Prem Patel, and Alan
Trimble, current or future Moorpark residents purchasing
homes in the Toll Brothers Country Club Estates development
in Moorpark, spoke about their overall concern regarding
delay in being able to occupy their new homes; opposition
to relocation of fencing to the top of the slope, which
will obstruct views and reduce rear yard set backs;
restrictions on any changes to the drainage for their lot;
and opposition to elimination of citrus and avocado trees.
They asked for explanations for the fence and landscape
plan changes and requested that the elected officials come
to some reasonable conclusions to resolve the issues. They
offered suggestions such as having the Homeowners
Association accept maintenance responsibility for slopes
containing citrus and avocado trees and allowing fencing
below the top of slope, such as what was allowed for homes
already constructed along Grimes Canyon Road.
Gerald Goldstein, a Moorpark resident, spoke about his
opposition to enforced cleanup activities at his home; the
placement of fencing on his western property line by
neighbors to his east; the subsequent construction of a
horse coral within 20 -feet of his window.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Kueny stated that staff is
prepared to bring to the City Council, on July 17, 2002,
modifications to the Toll Brothers project that need to be
addressed prior to occupancy of the homes. He stated that:
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 4 June 19, 2002
citrus and avocado trees were never approved by the city,
although the developer claims they received verbal approval
from the former Community Development Director; these
agricultural trees are contrary to the General Plan, which
requires a 200 -foot buffer between agricultural use and
residential use; the first phase of lot lines were recorded
contrary to the approved Tentative Tract Map, since lot
lines that were approved at the top of the slope on the
Tentative Tract Map were then revised in the Final Map to
be located approximately 10 feet below the top of slope;
fencing may or may not be at lot lines, since the fencing
plan has not yet been approved; and he stated that these
issues will be dealt with in the staff report and the
public record examined for what he hopes will resolve
discrepancies to everyone's satisfaction.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Kueny stated that new
information indicates that Caltrans has ordered a work
stoppage on the project due to a delay in the connection of
Championship Drive to Walnut Canyon Road; there is also an
issue of improvements needed at the Grimes Canyon and Los
Angeles Avenue intersection prior to occupancy; and there
are no issues that would prevent occupancy for homes
already constructed and purchased beyond late July. He
went on to state that the last city directed work stoppage
occurred when the fencing was installed without an approved
fence plan.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Brown confirmed that there
has been no onsite construction stoppage.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Kueny stated that the only
enforcement issue the City has directed is for the removal
of several hundred citrus and avocado trees, which is to be
accomplished before the July 17, 2002, deadline.
In response to Councilmember Harper, Ms. Traffenstedt
stated that the applicant had installed much of the
landscaping without an approved Landscape Plan; they were
directed to submit all landscape plans to the City for
review by the contract landscape architect; the
citrus /avocado orchards under dispute, were excluded from
the plans, as they were viewed to be inconsistent with the
City's Landscape Guidelines for erosion control and slope
failure prevention.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Paqe 5 June 19, 2002
In response to Councilmember Harper, Mr. Kueny stated that
after the Final Map was recorded, it appears that it was
not a priority for Toll Brothers to submit the Landscape
Plan for approval.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Hogan stated that Toll
Brothers has recently filed a Landscape Plan.
Councilmember Millhouse empathized with the residents'
confusion and distress over the relocation of the fencing;
expressed his disappointment and frustration with Toll
Brothers for creating this situation; and indicated that it
is difficult to resolve the problem since the subject is
not on the agenda.
Councilmember Mikos stated there is nothing further that
can be done at this meeting; and that staff will keep the
Council informed.
Councilmember Wozniak stated that this project needs to
move forward without dwelling on past history of how these
issues were created; he has a major concern regarding the
condition of approval on the project for construction of
Grimes Canyon Road and Los Angeles Avenue, which is tied to
First Occupancy Permits and for which the applicant is
going to apply for a four -year time extension on July 17,
2002; he is also concerned about a one -year time extension
the applicant will be requesting for construction of the 9-
hole golf course; and he recommends that the homebuyers
apply pressure on Toll Brothers to disclose the true
situation regarding the construction of this development.
MOTION: Mayor Hunter moved and Councilmember Harper seconded a
motion to add this matter to this agenda as Item 10.D. under
Presentation /Action /Discussion, with the finding that the need
for action came to the attention of the City Council subsequent

the City Council's next meeting, and Item 10.D. would be heard
at this time. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
MOTION: Councilmember Millhouse moved and Councilmember Wozniak
seconded a motion to direct staff to not require removal of the

Minutes of the City Council

City Council meeting.
In response to Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Kueny stated that
staff will make a recommendation on July 17th to address
concerns associated with Grimes Canyon Road /Los Angeles
Avenue; occupancy permits; and enforcement issues with Toll

the City has offered the theatre owner on High Street

Development Plan.
Minutes of the City Council

that the City has the flexibility to move the
temporary parking when the permanent parking is

Club's Civil War
Council Meeting
Recommendation: 1)
Authorize staff to
agenda report.
ponsorship of the Moorpark Rotary
Reenactment. (Continued from City
of June 5, 2002.) Staff
Decline co- sponsorship; and 2)
implement Options 1 and 2 in the
AT THIS POINT in the meeting Councilmember Millhouse left
the dais, stating that as a member of Rotary, he would
abstain from consideration of this matter due to the
potential for a conflict of interest. The time was 8:23
p.m.
Mr. Kueny gave the staff report.
In response to Councilmember Mikos, Ms. Traffenstedt
stated that: the city's insurance carrier does not
recommend nor exclude pyrotechnic co- sponsorship; the
city's insurance coverage through Joint Powers
Insurance Authority (JPIA) is five- to six - million
dollars, along with umbrella coverage of up to 50-
million dollars; and the JPIA wants to see that the
event sponsor, along with the company staging the
pyrotechnic event, have insurance in place.
In response to Councilmember Harper, Mr. Kueny stated
that the city could assist financially without
becoming co- sponsors of the event by making a non-
specific donation.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Ms. Traffenstedt stated
that there were no speakers.
Mr. Kueny concurred with Mayor Hunter, that it would
be more economical to assist the Rotary in publicizing
the event by allowing them to post temporary signs,
placing an advertisement in the City's Quarterly
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Paae 13
June 19, 2002
Newsletter at no cost, and that he did not believe the
Rotary was looking for a loan, which would need to be
repaid.
Mayor Hunter stated that this event is a benefit to
the community from both social and historical aspects.
He asked Dale Parvin to come to the podium.
Councilmember Harper stated that if this encourages
other organizations to perform similarly for the
benefit of the community, it is well worth the effort.
Dale Parvin, representing the Moorpark Rotary Club,
stated that they are not seeking seed money, but would
find the advertising helpful, especially the Marquee
to be used to state the time and location of the
event.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Parvin concurred that
if the city made the Marquee sign available, placed a
full page advertisement in the city's quarterly
magazine, allowed signs or banners around the
community, and provided some seed money to use for
non -local advertisement, it would be outstanding
support.
Mr. Parvin concurred with Councilmember Mikos'
suggestion that to broadcast the event on the local
cable channel would be a valuable educational
experience.
Mr. Kueny cautioned that it would be advisable to
consult the City Attorney regarding use of the
government channel. He stated that staff will follow
the Council's direction.
Councilmember Mikos stated that she was in favor of
supporting the event as outlined, but without official
sponsorship to protect the City from any liability due
to the dangerous activity.
In response to Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Parvin stated
that the July 3rd Fireworks sponsored by the City are
much more dangerous than the Civil War Reenactment
where charges are set off to blow up small pieces of
peat moss.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark. California Paae 14 June 19, 2002
In response to Councilmember Harper, Mr. Kueny stated
that a modest amount of seed money the Council
recommends would have to come out of the General Fund
Reserve.

seconded a motion to approve the staff report, as amended
to include a Budget Allocation from an account to be
determined by the City Manager for $5,000 to the Rotary to

playing a video tape of the event on Channel 10 or 8. The
motion carried by roll call vote 4 -0, Councilmember
Millhouse absent.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Parvin announced the
dates of the event to be November 2nd and 3rd at Tierra
Rejada Ranch on Moorpark Road.

improvements to Los Angeles Avenue (East) to Condor

resolution of the North Park Village project ", since
it is not known whether the project will go to the
voters.
Councilmember Mikos, a member of the Ad Hoc Committee
