AFFORDABLE HOUSING -
GOLDEN COVE ( 701)
704CP /MIN5.1 -4
Commissioner Von Hagen gave a brief
overview of the Commission's study
of the issues involved in the af-
fordable housing portion of the Gol-
-1- April 29, 1986
den Cove Condominium Project. The Commission's major concerns centered on
the criteria for eligibility to purchase these units, controls on windfall
profits and resale; income criteria and hidden assets; purchase of one unit
by the City; administration of the program; and owner occupancy.
Council and the Commission then discussed the origin of the proposed agree-
ment, if this agreement had been reviewed by the City Attorney, and the
constraints that the City is faced with in determining priority groups. A
good deal of the discussion focused on the levels of income that should be
established as the median income for the City and the obligation of the
City in meeting the State's criteria for, affordable housing.
The discussion between the Council and Commission then focused on the cost
to the developer in supplying these units, who would administer these
units, whether these units could be willed to another, the restrictions on
resale, and the length of time the City should have control over ownership.
It was concluded that discussion of this matter should be continued until
the May 6, 1986 meeting so it could be discussed with the benefit of coun-
sel from the City Attorney,
SPECIFIC PLAN N0, 3 Associate Planner Alice Angus re-
viewed the staff memorandum of April
29 which gave the background on the
March 6, 1986 workshop and listed
the concerns expressed at that meet-
ing.
The Council and Commission then discussed the trade -offs in set -backs for
allowing greater heights on some structures which would result in a more
varied building plan, how this plan compared with the other Specific Plans,
the requirement that no flat roof be allowed and that equipment could not
be exposed on roofs, and architectural controls that could be imposed on
building structures.
(At this time the Planning Commission adjourned to May 6.)
TRACT N0. 35040 - STREET
LIGHTS (1411)
Acting Director Negendank and Public
Works Director Wentz then showed a
videotape of this tract showing the
proposed location of street lights
for that tract. Staff requested
clarification for Condition No.
27(d) of Resolution No. 80 -48,
Councilwoman Bacharach moved, seconded by Councilman Hughes and carried to
replace existing street lights with new lights and add lights at new inter-
sections and cul -de -sacs.
704CP /MIN5.1 -4 -2- April 29, 1986
VALLEY -VIEW TRACT NO 31714 Another videotape showed the char-
acteristics of the curbs and gutters
and the resulting drainage problems
in this development.
After discussion whether the street should be slurry sealed, if a drainage
system could be installed, and the status of Trail No. 6 which runs along
the development, and possible encroachment onto this trail, it was the con-
sensus that staff should pursue improvements in the existing roadway from
the developer of this tract.
REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION Acting Director Negendank summarized
the law which now requires realtors
at the time of sale of a home to
check all building permits which
have been issued for that structure.
Responding to these requests requires a substantial amount of staff time
and staff recommended that consideration be given to charging a fee for
this service.
It was the consensus of Council that staff prepare a policy recommendation
on this matter.
RELEASE OF RETENTION FOR The City Clerk reported that Sunset
SUNSET OIL - SLURRY Oil had requested payment on their
SEAL CONTRACT final invoice for this contract.
(1404) The Notice of Completion has been
recorded with the County Recorder's.
Councilwoman Bacharach moved, seconded by Councilman McTaggart and carried
to release the $25,058.76 to the Sunset Oil Company on the Slurry Seal Con-
tract for Fiscal Year 1984 -85 - 1985 -860
LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES
CLAIMS PROCESS
HESSE PARK TILE (1201)
Councilwoman Bacharach requested

Treasurer for the League. It was
the consensus of Council to support
her candidacy.
It was the consensus of Council to
have a representative of Carl Warren
& Company make a presentation ex-
plaining the claims process at the
May 20 meeting.
Public Works Director Wentz gave an
update on the installation of the
