Moorpark, California Page 4 August 1, 2001
In response to Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Gilbert stated
there were engineering problems associated with
restricting turn movements.
In response to Councilmember Millhouse, Mr. Butch
Britt, Ventura County Public Works Agency, explained
that any median that would restrict northbound traffic
on the realigned Moorpark Road from continuing north
onto Miller Parkway would also affect left turn
movements from vehicles southbound on Miller Parkway.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Britt replied that
other alterations such as a "zebra stripe median"
could be installed, but a physical barrier could not
be put in the center of the intersection.
In response to Councilmember Millhouse, Mr. Britt
stated that through traffic could be restricted;
however, not with a center median.
In response to Councilmember Harper, Mr. Britt
suggested a left -turn signal with protected turn
arrows versus a raised median.
Mayor Hunter summarized safety and design concerns.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Jarrod DeGonia,
representing Supervisor Mikels, stated he could not
state her position on the Norwegian grade project. He
did state that Supervisor Mikels is supportive of the
Moorpark Road realignment project because of safety
concerns, and that she had asked the County Public
Works staff to design an intersection to achieve the
City's objectives to restrict through traffic.
In response to Councilmember Millhouse, Mr. DeGonia
confirmed that Supervisor Mikels had told
Councilmember Millhouse that the intersection could be
designed to restrict through traffic.
In response to Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Gilbert
replied there will be no raised median, only signage
and striping. He stated that a raised median would
not be possible.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 5 August 1, 2001
Councilmember Harper stated that a protected left turn
northbound and southbound could be used rather than
just passive signs.
Mr. Kueny stated it will take some time to design the
intersection. He also stated that the Tierra Rejada
Road median might need to be pulled back for a short
distance.
Ruth Pritkin, a Moorpark resident, stated her
opposition to the County Moorpark Road project and
that she was in support of a physical barrier to

Mr. Capitele stated he would like to be involved and
share his opinion on a solution.

Council for opposing the project, and requested a very
careful study for the safety of the community.
Ms. Traffenstedt stated that three written statement
cards in opposition to the County project had been
received from: Ralph Mauriello, Marcia Capitelli, and
Scott Kams.

staff to work with the County on the design and that
he wants to consider a center median to be studied.

a partial barrier isn't possible versus a painted
median.
Councilmember Millhouse stated that he agreed with
what had been said by other Councilmembers.
Mr. Kueny asked for Mr. Britt to speak about the
County's schedule.
Mr. Britt stated that the County is proceeding to
purchase the right of way for the project and plan to
advertise for construction this fall.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Britt stated that the
cost for existing Moorpark Road improvements were more
that the proposed realignment project.
Mr. Kueny suggested delaying issuance of the
encroachment permit to allow a solution to be
developed. He suggested the item be continued to
September 5, 2001.
In response to Mr. Kueny, Mr. Montes stated that the
County may be concerned with the statute of limitation
of 90 days from the date of approval of the
encroachment permit.
Councilmember Millhouse suggested the City Attorney be
authorized to prepare a limited tolling agreement to
extend the time period for the County to file a
lawsuit.

Mikos seconded a motion to direct staff to meet with County
staff regarding the design for the Moorpark Road
realignment /Miller Parkway intersection and authorized the

Agreement to extend the lawsuit filing period, and
continued the Item to the September 5, 2001 meeting. The
motion passed by voice vote 4 -1, Councilmember Harper
dissenting.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 7 August 1, 2001

Minutes of the City Council

Retail /Commercial Center Including Target and Kohl
Department Stores at the Southwest Quadrant of New Los
Angeles Avenue and Highway 23. Staff Recommendation:
1) Consider and discuss the presentation by applicant
and recommendation from the Planning Commission; and
2) Direct staff as deemed appropriate.
Mr. Loftus gave the staff report.
Brian Wolf, P & R Architects, 111 W. Ocean Boulevard,
Laguna Beach, representing Zelman Retail Partners/
Zelman Development Company as the project architect,
stated the project applicant was seeking direction on
the architecture. He stated the Planning Commission
reviewed three styles and the consensus was that a
Spanish Revival was preferred. He discussed the
conceptual site plan, architecture and type of retail
center planned.
Robert Exel, Vice President of Zelman Development
Company, 515 South Figueroa Street, Suite 1230, Los
Angeles, stated he was available for questions.
Mark DiCecco, a Moorpark resident and City Planning
Commissioner, discussed the importance of the project
design at the gateway to the City. He stated the site
plan does not have adequate pedestrian access and that
it ignored the project behind it. He stated that an
intimate scale does not exist with the current design.
In response to Councilmember Millhouse, Mr. DiCecco
discussed potential pedestrian access linking the
industrial development to the south and discussed the
Spanish revival architectural theme.
Gerald Goldstein, a Moorpark resident, discussed
entrance to the City concerns.
Mayor Hunter stated that this site is the last large
commercial development that the city of Moorpark will
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 11 August 1, 2001
have a chance to build. He also stated that, in his
opinion, the first draft development plan has a long
way to go and does not meet community standards. He
stated that his first impression is that this appears
to be a large strip mall with the orientation of the
large buildings to the rear. In comparison, he spoke
about the Promenade in Westlake and stated that in
comparison that center is open, inviting and
interesting. Mayor Hunter stated that there is
nothing creative about this center. He stated that
this project requires a significant amount of work.
Councilmember Harper stated he concurred with the
Mayor's comments and that a straight store frontage of
this mass is not attractive. He requested that the
developer come back with better drawings with more
people oriented areas. He stated pedestrian areas
also needed places for people to sit.
Mr. Wolfe, stated that he would work with staff to
address the issues raised by Council.

Councilmember Wozniak stated he concurred with the
need for pedestrian access between the commercial and
industrial projects and asked for large walkways
through the center. He also stated that the Council
does not want a strip mall appearance.
Councilmember Mikos stated she concurred with the
comments and wants the project to be more pedestrian
friendly. She stated she is not enamored with the
Spanish revival style. She also stated she does not
want to see a straight line of buildings.
Councilmember Millhouse stated he spoke to the
applicant about design changes over a month ago and
was disappointed his previous comments were not
addressed. He stated the straight line of buildings
must be modified. He stated the project needs to be
more pedestrian friendly.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 12 August 1, 2001
Councilmember Mikos asked if a tall architectural
feature could be blended into the center to allow a
higher sign.
Mayor Hunter stated the tenant mix is important to the
success or failure of the center and that he hoped the
applicant would get the City's concurrence with what
residents would like to have available. He suggested
a bookstore, places to eat, a clothing store, and a
Trader Joe's.
Councilmember Millhouse also suggested a sporting
goods store, a water fountain area with seating, and
coffee and ice cream sales.
Mr. Exel asked what was the preferred architectural
style and whether Spanish revival was acceptable to
the Council.
Councilmember Harper stated that Spanish revival is
the closest consensus the applicant could get.
Mr. Wolfe thanked the Council and stated he would
attempt to address the Council's comments.

Objectives for Fiscal Year 2001 -2002. (Continued from
June 20, 2001) . Staff Recommendation: Approve City
Goals and Objectives for Fiscal Year 2001/2002.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 13 August 1, 2001
Mr. Kueny gave the staff report.
Mayor Hunter referred to the lists of objectives
received from Councilmember Millhouse and
Councilmember Mikos.
Councilmember Mikos discussed her recommendation to
consider doing the Goals and Objectives earlier in the
year. She discussed her list and suggested one
additional item, which was rezoning of the prior SP -8
property this year.
Councilmember Millhouse stated his list is focussed on
traffic mitigation and youth activities. He stated he
has proposed some specific deadlines for some of the
projects. He stated his agreement with receiving the
objectives earlier in the budget process, perhaps
December. He outlined his list of objectives including
having an aquatic center in place by summer of 2003;
additional softball and soccer fields to accommodate
youth groups; and adding a fourth field at Arroyo
Vista Community Park and lighting them all with
photovoltaics or other energy saving lighting.
Councilmember Harper referenced stamped page 64 and
stated that the City Manager's recommended top ten
list is the closest to consensus. He stated that the
Open Space, Conservation and Recreation (OSCAR) and
Circulation Elements should be added to the third
bullet item on page 64 and the next to last bullet
item on stamped page 65 should include the trail
system along the Arroyo Simi.
Councilmember Mikos stated that an item regarding City
website upgrade should be added to the City Manager's
list as a priority item. She expressed a concern that
interest in the Arroyo Simi will be focussed only on
the trail system and stated that the General Plan
update should include the concept of a greenway for
the Arroyo Simi.
Mayor Hunter stated he is
Arroyo Simi as a priority

Moorpark, California Page 14 August 1, 2001
people in the City. He stated his top priority items
include construction of a community pool, construction
of a police station on Spring Road, and traffic
mitigation issues.
Councilmember Wozniak stated that staff has the
ability to pick up on the items that the Council wants
action on. He stated he wants the top ten objectives
to have the broadest appeal for the City of Moorpark,
and the City Manager's list is consistent with the
citizen's priorities.
Councilmember Millhouse stated his agreement that the
top ten objectives should have the broadest range of
appeal. He concurred with adding the OSCAR Element to
the third bullet item on stamped page 64 and
incorporating the management of the Arroyo Simi with
the trail system. He stated the website upgrade is not
one of his top ten priority items for the next fiscal
year; however, it is important for the long term.
Councilmember Harper stated he did not include any
technology items in the top ten to give time for the
new Information Systems staff person to get on board.
He stated everything on the City Manager's list is top
priority. He suggested adding to the second to last
bullet item on stamped page 65, the wording about
providing recreational use of the Arroyo Simi
watershed.
Councilmember Mikos stated that more than recreation
should be addressed in the second to last bullet item.
She suggested there should be a balance between
management, flood control, recreation, habitat
enhancement, and all of the resources of the Arroyo
Simi.
Councilmember Millhouse suggested development of a
comprehensive plan for the Arroyo Simi rather than a
piecemeal approach.
Mr. Kueny stated that historically the council
consensus has been to bring the Goals and Objectives
back on the council agenda as a consent item. He
suggested that at the second regular meeting of
January, staff bring back a concise status report on
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 15 August 1, 2001
the top ten objectives and use that to lead up to the
budget process.
Mayor Hunter stated that he wants to continue to use
the term aquatic facility for the community pool. He
stated he expects staff to stay on schedule for the
deadline of summer /fall of 2003. He stated that if
there is a chance the aquatic facility project will
fall behind, it should be brought to the council's
attention.
Mr. Kueny stated it is his intent that, at the second
meeting in January, there will be a status on the top
ten with a comprehensive report on each of the items.
Councilmember Mikos stated that the last item on the
City Manager's list should include some focus on
housing in the downtown specific plan, and
consideration for commercial and retail.
Mayor Hunter stated that he thinks those projects will
move along at their own pace. He stated he does see
that it will take significant staff time to address
the top ten items.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council approved the modified
City Manager's list of top ten priorities, directed staff
to schedule City goals and objectives for fiscal year
2001/2002 for consent calendar approval on September 5,
2001, and directed staff to schedule a progress report on
top ten priorities for January 16, 2002.
