mendations 1 through 4 and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign a contract with

Rolling Hills Estates installing a traffic
signal at Montemalaga Drive and Silver Spur Road and contribute one-third of the cost
with a maximum contribution of $7,000.

mechanical or electronic.
CITY COUNCIL -2- 11/17/81
Chuck Sanderson, 5400 Montemalaga Drive, said he was concerned about the type of light
to be installed and the increase in traffic and noise on Montemalaga.
Council discussion then followed on how this light would affect the flow of traffic,
if the Council could see the final design before implementation and changes that might
occur in the crosswalk striping.
Councilwoman Shaw moved, seconded by Councilman Dyda and carried to table this item
until the next meeting.
HEIGHT VARIATION NO. 186 - Assistant Planner Alice Angus presented
APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION'S the staff report of November 17th which
DENIAL described this addition above an existing
(1804) garage. Staff denied this request and
11/ the applicants subsequently appealed that
decision to the Planning Commission who also denied the project.
Speaking against this addition were the following residents of the area: Mr. & Mrs.
Ronald McDowell, 28925 Geronimo Drive, and Charles Plumley, 29005 Geronimo Drive. These
residents questioned if the second story was the best design, how this project would
effect their view and property value.
Council then discussed the effects this addition would have on views, particularly that
of the Plumley residence and how much of that view is already blocked by trees.
Councilwoman Shaw moved, seconded by Mayor Bacharach to deny the appeal and uphold the
Planning Commission's decision based upon the following findings: (1) It cannot be found
that the proposed structure is designed and situated in such a manner as to minimize
view obstruction. There are other alternatives for the addition; there is a large back
yard which could accommodate the desired addition. (2) The view impairment for that
portion over sixteen feet significantly impairs the primary view from a property or
properties identified as having a view per Section 9113 of the Development Code. Also,
that staff prepare an appropriate resolution for adoption at the next meeting. The motion
carried on a three - one vote with Councilman Ryan voting in opposition.
REQUEST FOR SUPPORT OF Community Services Director Bandy presented
DOUG ECKERT MEMORIAL 10K RUN the staff report of November •10, 1981 which
(306) outlined this request f dr financial support
to offset cbsts involved with. route safety &
traffic control for the second annual 10K run. s=.cheduled= for .December. 13. Staff recommended
that based upon prior actions, the Council provide support in the form of traffic safety
materials and labor not to exceed $400. Additionally, staff felt that the Council should
reconsider its policy of support for these events because of restricted fiscal conditions.
Council then discussed the past policy of support for such events, and if these requests
should be made during the budget process.
Representing the Doug Eckert Memorial Committee was Sara Bowlus, 28427 Quailhill Drive, who
told the Council that the run would have the same route as last year's race.
Also speaking in favor of this support was Joyce Watt, who told the Council that this is
the same route as the Library Run and that they were not charged by the City of Rolling
Hills Estates last year for police or traffic control.
Councilman Ryan moved, seconded by Councilman Dyda and carried to table this item until
the second meeting in December.
It was the consensus of Council that staff should prepare a report identifying what was
budgeted for such charitable functions in the past so a method for handling such requests
in future budgets can be established.
REOPEN AGENDA Councilwoman Shaw moved, seconded by
Mayor Bacharach and carried to reopen the
agenda. Councilwoman Shaw moved, seconded
by Mayor Bacharach and carried to discuss the size of type used in the agenda back-up
material.
GRADING ORDINANCE Councilman Ryan moved, seconded by
Councilman Dyda and carried to table this
item until the second meeting in December.
