At the January 21, 1992 meeting, the City Council directed staff to modify the current policy of annexing single family minor development reviews, room additions, and small subdivisions that do not have a direct benefit from LMD facilities.

Motion carried unanimously. ITEM 10 (203-24) RECYCLING CENTER IMPROVEMENTS POWAY HIGH SCHOOL MUSIC BOOSTERS Staff report by Director of Planning Services Wright-Quastler. When the Music Boosters applied for a Minor Conditional Use Permit for the use of the Garden Road site as a recycling center, it was intended to be a temporary location and the conditions imposed related to the use, not improvements to the property. 4483 Page 5 - CITY OF POWAY - February 25, 1992 They are now looking at this site as a permanent one and staff has told them what conditions would be recommended, including a masonry wall separating the property from the residential uses to the south. The Music Boosters have indicated they will have difficulty in paying for these improvements and have requested help from the city. In particular, the city will be receiving tonnage grant revenue from the County based on the amount of material the Music Boosters program is diverting from the waste stream. City Manager Bowersox noted that the Music Boosters have contracted with IMS to operate the glass, aluminum, and plastic recycling program at the site. John Baildon, 12709 Corte Rayito, Chair of the Music Boosters Recycling Committee, discussed their current situation. Peter Neild, 13131 Golden Way, adjacent property owner to the recycling center cited the noise and trash from the center and urged Council to require a wall to be constructed soon. Following discussion, motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember McIntyre to direct staff to prepare a plan for financing the improvements with cooperation from the property owner, IMS, the Band Boosters and the City. Motion carried unanimously. ITEM 11 (203-02) GRADING ON TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 91-04 Staff report by Director of Planning Services Wright-Quastler. On February 11, 1992, Robert Hessler, 15497 Oakstand Court, addressed the City Council regarding his concern over the elevation of a recently graded lot adjacent to his property, particularly since the notice regarding the public hearing to consider the tentative parcel map did not state anything about grading. Staff recommends modifying future public notices to more fully address site development impacts and carefully review the future minor development review for Mr. Pierson's parcel adjacent to Mr. Hessler. Director of Engineering Services Weston stated that the elevation of Mr. Hessler's pad is 912' and Mr. Pierson's is 911' and presented pictures showing the two properties. The grading plan was approved in accordance with the approved tentative parcel map and there are no current city policies regarding view preservation. Council concurred that the notice needs to be more explicit, including maps that more adequately represent what is being proposed. Robert Hessler, 15497 Oakstand Court, suggested the city staff needs more sensitivity to aesthetics and asked that the city pay for lowering the eastern portion of the Pierson's lot and require any home proposed on the lot be moved as far west as possible. He cited his attempts to get a response from staff while the grading was going on and stated Mr. Pierson had been willing to make changes. 4484 Page 6 - CITY OF POWAY - February 25, 1992 Douglas Pierson, 14082 Valley Springs Road stated he can't afford the time or money to make any changes at this late date. Following discussion, motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Snesko, to adopt staff recommendation; meet with the two property owners regarding the Minor Development Review; expedite any changes Mr. Piersen might decide to make to the grading; and improve the maps used in future notices, including showing contours. Motion carried unanimously. ITEM 11.1 (1503-29) EMERGENCY SUPPLY OF TREATED WATER FOR RAMONA Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. Ramona Municipal Water District has requested Poway treat water for them during the February 23 to February 28 treated water aqueduct shutdown. Staff recommends approval of their request and that staff begin negotiations with them for an emergency treated water supply agreement. In the event both the treated and untreated aqueducts were shut down, water could be treated from Lake Ramona and Lake Poway to serve both communities. Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Higginson to adopt staff recommendation. Motion carried unanimously. ITEM 20.1 (602-01, #161R) AWARD OF BID POWAY ROAD WEST STREET IMPROVEMENTS Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. Bids were received for the Poway Road street improvements from Oak Knoll Road to the west city limits, including medians, traffic signal, sidewalks and wall on the north side. The low bid from Southland Paving, Inc. was approximately $100,000 below the engineer's estimate. Councilmember Snesko asked about the location of the wall and how many trees would be removed. He stated he is opposed to the project if the wall is too close to the street and causes a closed in effect for this entrance to Poway. Director of Engineering Services Weston stated staff had worked with each property owner to locate the wall on their property and in some cases it would be five feet behind the sidewalk and in others would be at the current location. Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Snesko to continue this item to March 3, 1992 in order to look at the wall's proposed location. Motion carried unanimously.
