Staff report by Director of Planning Services Wright-Quastler. This is a request
to construct a restaurant on the property located on the northwest corner of the
Poway Road and Oak Knoll Drive intersection. There are four alternative design
proposal presented, three of which require a street side yard setback variance.
Staff recommends Alternative lA. On November 17, 1992, the City Council denied
a variance request for this project to allow sections of the parking lot to
encroach into a street side yard setback. On January 5, 1993, the City Council
denied a specific plan proposal for the subject property that would prohibit
potential high impact commercial uses from the site. Alternative lA differs
from the original proposal in that it proposes a six foot high masonry wall and
a landscape area along the northerly property line. The dri veway has been
relocated and the parking lot redesigned to provide two additional parking
stalls. The building would be 4,536 square foot and the parking lot will
accommodate 38 cars. The applicant is making arrangements for off-site parking
for employees and if overflow parking from the restaurant becomes a nuisance to
Woodcrest residents, parking restrictions could be established along Crest Road
and a portion of Oak Knoll Drive.
Speaking in opposition to staff recommendation:
Theresa Boyer, 12118 Poway Road, objected to the kitchen opening to the
west which faces their home. As an alternative, she requested a
10' wall on the west side.
Les Revier, 13020 Oak Knoll Drive.
Robert Good, 12730 Soule Street
Speaking in favor of staff recommendation:
Greg Cox, 245 E Street, Chula Vista, representing the owners.
Dan Ferreira, 4751 Terrace Drive, San Diego, one of the owners.
Jul ius Ickler, 12102 Poway Road, suggested the wording "Appl icant shall
contact the Department regardi ng compl i ance" does not sound 1 i ke
they are requi red to comply. He also questioned why the plans
submitted do not conform with the resolution's conditions.
Director of Planning Services Quastler, in response to Mr. Ickler's comments,
concurred the wording regarding compliance could be more specific and stated that
the conditions prevail over the plans.
Motion by Council member Cafagna, seconded by Council member Emery to issue a
Mitigated Negative Declaration, close the public hearing, and adopt Resolution
No. P-93-06, ent i t 1 ed, "A Reso 1 ut i on of the City Counc il of the City of Poway,
Ca 1 i forni a Approvi ng Vari ance 93-01 and Development Revi ew 92-17, Assessor's
Parce 1 Number 316-320-35," fi ndi ng that good cause exi sts to waive ~ 17 . 50 .130

ITEM 8 (1180-03)
RESPONSE TO PUBLIC INOUIRY RE CLAIRE DRIVE
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. At the January 26, 1993 City Council
meeting, Myron Carter made requests regarding road improvements on Golden Way and
Claire Drive. These are private roads, however creek crossing projects for both
roads are included in the Redevelopment Agency's capital improvement plans and
will compete with other projects for funding priority. City crews do repair
erosion around the water line in Golden Way but do no other maintenance.
Council concurred to receive and file.
ITEM 9 ( 1170-09)
BUDWIN LANE DRAINAGE
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. On January 26, 1993 the City Council
asked staff about the status of improving the drainage on Budwin Lane at Twin
Peaks Road. In 1989 the City constructed a parking lot on San Diego Gas &
Electric property on Budwin Lane. During every significant rain the parkin9 lots
collects deposits of mud and silt from the private portion of Budwin Lane and an
earthen San Diego Gas & Electric easement. The drainage system of the private
portion will eventually be improved by the Huntington Gate subdivision. Staff
is determining the cost of installing a storm drain through the SDG&E easement
around the parking lot. The other recurring storm damage will continue until the
respective private property owners decide to pave Budwin Lane and improve the
drainage along the west side.
Council concurred to receive and file.
ITEM 10 (1170-09 )
MAINTENANCE OF WATERCOURSES
ON PRIVATE PROPERTY
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. At the January 12, 1993 City Council
meeting, Councilmember Emery asked about the city's policy requiring the
maintenance of watercourses on private property. Ordinance 85 requires property
owners to maintain private watercourses, however an annual inspection is not
done, unlike weed abatement. Few problems have arisen in the ten years since the
ordinance was adopted.
Council concurred to receive and file the report.

USE OF PUBLIC EDUCATION/GOVERNMENT
ACCESS TELEVISION (PEG) FUNDS
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. At the January 27, 1993 City Council
meeting, Mayor Higginson requested staff report back regarding three potential
projects using PEG funds, $125,000 provided by the cable companies as a condition
of their franchises. The first, a closed circuit system that would allow a
television monitor to be in the lobby of City Hall during overflow City Council
meetings would cost approximately $18,000. The second, a publiC information
kiosk that would function as a 24-hour City Hall system merg i ng a personal
computer with a laser disk player and software, is currently in use in several
cities throughout the nation. The third, interactive information services that
would be available via telephone and television once Cox's fiber optic system is
in place, is currently in place in Carlsbad and Encinitas. The fiber optic
system is scheduled to be installed in Poway this year. Staff recommends
proceeding with the first two and start working with Cox Cable on an interactive
system.
Speaking in opposition to staff recommendation:
Larry Cruse, 13734 Utopia, stated he had spoke to an information system
person at UCSD where he works about this report and he questioned
some of the recommend at ions. He has had to sit in the lobby duri ng
Council meetings and does not feel a television monitor is necessary since
the sound is available. He also talked about the rapid development of
technology and questioned whether we should move ahead with the
information kiosk until the library is completed since that is the logical
place to put the kiosk.
Following discussion, Council concurred to not proceed with the lobby television,
hold up on the information kiosk, and wait until the fi ber optic system is
complete to do further work on an interactive system.
ITEM 12 (1170-04 )
PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT FOR SOLID WASTE
DELIVERY TO COUNTY-WIDE SYSTEM
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. The participation agreement was proposed
by the County to grantee a reliable flow of solid waste to the landfills in order
to make the bonds they plan to issue more marketable. By signing the agreement,
cities guarantee that the sol id waste generated within their boundaries is
delivered to County landfills for 20 years. The County will form a Solid Waste
Commission to give participating cities a voice, however not over fees or sites.
There are two "guns" poi nt i ng at our head. If we don't sign the agreement by May
1, an additional 50% tipping fee will be charged for trash from Poway, and if we
do sign we are committing ourselves virtually forever to the County system.
MAR 2 3 1993 ITi:;M 13 4812
Page 8 - CITY OF POWAY - February 23, 1993
City Attorney Eckis stated that the San Diego City Attorneys have discussed this
agreement and have several fundamental problems with it. It needs a clear
service covenant with reasonable guarantees of performance; rate protection and
equity; apportionment of liability risks; a clear obligation to locate and
develop di sposal sites at the lowest poss i bl e cost and wi th the greatest
protection to the environment, coupled with a remedy for failure to perform. He
suggests a joint powers authority be formed rather than a commission to give the
cities some say in rates and sites, that the period of the agreement be less than
20 years, and that we only be required to commit as much of our trash as they
need to get funding in order to give us options if a more desirable means of
solid waste disposal becomes available.
This issue wi 11 be di scussed at the SANDAG meeting this week and Council
concurred to direct Mayor Higginson to bring up City Attorney Eckis's points and
to send a letter to the other cities in the county stating our concerns with this
agreement. Mayor Higginson stated he will report back at next week's meeting.
ITEM 13 (1180-03)
CITIZEN COMPLAINT RE USE OF
TEMPORARY AUTO STORAGE LOT
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. At the February 9, 1993 City Council
meet i ng Joe St. Lucas requested the auto dealers not be allowed to use the
Redevelopment Agency property to the west of the Chrysler dealership for auto
storage. The Ford dealer, who is currently using this property for storage of
excess inventory, has requested an additional 90 days to locate another site.
Council concurred with this request because of the sales tax the auto dealers are
generating, but noted we do need to be a good neighbor and requested the cars be
kept as much as possible to the front of the property. Staff will report back
in 90 days.
ITEM 13.1 (1503-03)
SOCWA'S PROPOSED WATER RATE INCREASE
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. In May, 1990, the City Council asked that
the San Diego County Water authority establish capacity charges, standby charges,
and water rates that would make new growth pay a fair share of the capital
improvement program costs. The SDCWA Board subsequently approved a water rate
and capacity fee for new meters. On March 3, 1993, the SDCWA will consider a 27%
increase in water rates, however they have not prepared an analysis to determine
that the proposed water rate, coupled with the capacity charge and standby charge
represents a fair spl it of costs between present and future users. Staff
recommends that the City Council reaffirm their philosophy that revenue sources
shoul d be balanced so that new development pays a fa i r share of the SDCWA's
capital improvement costs.
Counci 1 concurred wi th staff's recommendat i on and Counci 1 member Cafagna requested
a copy of the Water Authority's capital improvement plan.
