employees: Account Clerk in the Customer Services section; Landscape
Technician in the Planning Services Department; Building Maintenance Worker,
Department Aide and Park Maintenance Worker in the Public Services Department.
The cost of three of these positions will be offset by savings since the work is
currently being done by consultant. He reviewed other changes in revenues and

and the creation of a Safety Services complex by allowing the existing City Hall

Motion by Councilmember Goldsmith, seconded by Councilmember Brannon, to con-
tinue consideration of the 1990-91 Financial Plan to June 26, 1990 and requested

Association to identify means of funding maintenance of any new fields; and
report back in three to six months on possible sites for playing fields. Motion
carried unanimously.
Alan Sugarman, Chairman of the Parks & Recreation Committee, stated their

request.

ITEM 6
RECLAMATION PLAN 89-05 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 89-05
APPLICANT: CALMAT-POWAY
Mayor Higginson opened the public hearing. Item introduced by City Manager
Bowersox. This is a request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the continued
and expanded operation of CalMat-Poway for production of construction aggregate,
road base and fill material. Staff is proposing the Council consider a scaled
down project which would be restricted to the existing site in addition to
building a haul road into the South Poway industrial area to eliminate truck
traffic on Beeler Canyon and Creek Roads.
3814
Page 5 - CITY OF POWAY - June 19, 1990
Staff report by Assistant Director of Planning Services Streeter. This item
includes the certification of a Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report for
the South Poway Planned Community; a Reclamation Plan for the progressive reha-
bilitation of the mining site landform so that when reclamation is complete it
will contain stable slopes and be readily adaptable for alternate land uses; and
a Conditional Use Permit as described by the City Manager. The area currently
being mined has been recognized by the State Division of Mines and Geology as an
area of regional significance and its operation was cited as a mitigating
measure for the South Poway Planned Community since its development is covering
over a large mineral resource. CalMat-Poway is operating under a Special Use
Permit issued by the County of San Diego that expires in October, 1990.
The Reclamation Plan is required by AB747 and the current deadline for adoption
is June 30, although there is pending legislation that would extend this
deadline to July 31 or October 31. The Environmental Impact Report identifies
areas of biology, aesthetics/land form alteration that cannot be migitated. A
Statement of Overriding Considerations would be required. He also discussed the
loss of California Grasslands and Coastal Sage Scrub that must be mitigated.
Speaking in favor of the project:
Robert Imler, 19075 Beeler Canyon Road, Special Projects Manager for CalMat
Mr. Imler showed a video regarding CalMat's operations and presented
411 cards signed by Poway residents in favor of their proposal.
Dwight Beavers, 6623 Calle Eva Miranda, Irwindale, Vice President, CalMat
William Schwartz, 401 "B" St., San Diego, Attorney for CalMat, pointed out
the areas where they differed with staff's analysis, including
building the private road to public standards; need to establish
California grasslands off-site; and necessity to expend funds for
improvements prior to a decision on developing the entire 166 acres.
He also requested this item be continued since the staff report was
received today and they need time to review it.
Joe Broeron, 1032 Caminito Curervo #189, San Diego, 28 year CalMat employee.
Robert Heimpel, 11646 Creek Road

RECESS AND CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Higginson recessed the meeting at 10:35 p.m. and called it back to order
at 10:50 p.m. with all Councilmembers present.
In response to Council query, City Attorney Eckis stated that CalMat's request
for a continuance is appropriate since they did not receive the final staff
recommended conditions of approval until today. In his opinion, they are
3815
Page 6 - CITY OF POWAY - June 19, 1990
entitled to a continuance due to the magnitude of the project. Following
discussion, Councll concurred the public hearing will be continued to August 7
following all the public input since that is the first meeting when all
Councilmembers will be present. Mr. Schwartz agreed to waive any time con-
siderations on behalf of CalMat to August 7, 1990.
Speaking in opposition to the project:
Norman Elder, 12934 Welton Lane, showed a video of CalMat's current opera-
tion in Beeler Canyon
Mike Fry, 12819 Selma Court, questioned the EIR regarding the spring survey,
and the traffic study, and the sales tax figures.

siting use permit

Mr. Schwartz, attorney for CalMat, stated he would prepare a formal response to
the comments for the August 7, 1990 meeting.
Council discussion included: questions regarding impacts on traffic and air
quality; where the sales tax is credited; mixed message being sent by requiring
expenditure for haul road with no guarantee that expanded project will be appro-
ved; size of present project versus what was approved by the County; need for
clarification of whether CalMat is currently violating conditions of their CUP
and, if so, why there has not been a revocation hearing; whether this project
can be eliminated if it was cited as a mitigation measure for the South Poway
Specific Plan; and adequacy of the environmental impact report.
Motion by Councilmember Brannon, seconded by Councilmember Emery, to continue
consideration of this item for all purposes to August 7, 1990. Motion carried
unanimously.
