6)- ADI:t
In response to counciL questions, City Planner reviewed sign B's size
(182 square feet) and locationl due to an architectural feature the
tuo rdords in the sign would be separated and counted as two signs on
other hotel sides the words are together. Council reviewed directions
the three signs face and other signs at street level; discussed the
possib1e removal of the sign on the porte cochere. Councilman Lembi
wondered if this r.ras the first hotel to receive signage under the new
sign ordinance; City Pl-anner replied Crowne Plaza nas the first.
Because the building backs onto the city dunp and faces the nev
freeway entrance, council could see the need for all three signs as
proposed by applicant.
Councilman Lembi moved to approve the sign exceptions with conditions
L and, 2 approved by the Planning Commission and added their own
condition, the removal of sign D on the porte cochere. The Planning
Commj-ssionrs third condition was dropped by council. Seconded by
Councilman Pagliaro, carried unanimousJ-y by rolJ- call vote.
PUBLIC HEARING - TENTATIVE AND FINAL PARCEL MAP TO COMBINE LOTS - 1730
ROLLINS ROAD - PRIME TIME ATHLETIC CLUB - CONTINUED TO STUDY MEETING
Director of Public Works reviewed his memo of April 1in which he
recommended council hold public hearing and take action. In March the
Planning Connission reviewed the tentative and final map to combine a
portion of a railroad 1ot, the lots fronting Rollins Road and a 1ot
encumbered by both a PG&E easement and a city drainage easement. A
remnant narrow railroad 1ot will remain. Staff requested a condition
to approval: to allow the fence at the most westerly property l-ine to
remain at present and to allow a reasonable access corridor to the
cityrs pump station, an additional width of ten feet for vehicular andpedestrian ingress and egress sha1l be granted on the map, to be added
to the existent ten foot easement for a total of tuenty feet. Theproperty ovner has appealed to council objecting to the additional
easement requirement.
Mayor Mangini opened the publi.c hearing.
Arthur Michaels, property owner, passed out a si.te plan showing thepresent easenents on hls and on adjacent property and Ehe cityrs
proposed additional easement on his property. He reviewed that the 10foot easement on the adjacent property is not used due to the property
owner installing a fence on the property J,ine. Director of Public
Works reviewed city had historically used the athletic club easenent
because it is paved, while the other property i-s not paved; the
adjacent property orrner put the fence up because athletic club patrons
were parking on his property; when the fence was installed theathletic club patrons began parking on the city easement; city trucks
sometines have difficulty getting around cars and into the city pumpstation at the rear.
Council questioned if parking could be prohibited on easement; somecouncil nenbers had problen with city restricting use of privateproperty; reviewed city traffic over the easement and size of trucks
using the easement; DPW reviewed city must have access at all" times tothe pump station; city is now using 10 feet, why does it need 20 feet;
Michaels reviewed that he will develop nore park
easenent should not be used for parking; would i
easement like a fire lane to keep parkers away;

Councilman Pagliaro moved to approve the tentative and final naps with
condition that easement be provided to city for tuo years at which
time the owner would cone before council to renove the easement ifparking requirements had been ret. Michaels objected to this
requirement.
Council discussed at length with Michaels and City Attorney. Council
directed City Attorney to drau up a condition to be added to the map
that would be acceptable to Michaels and to council and bring it to
the Study Meetlng for action.
Mayor Mangini moved to close the public heari.ng and continued this
issue to the Study Meeting of April 9 for action. Seconded by
Councilnan Lembi, carried unaninously by voj-ce vote.

PUBLIC HEARING - URGENCY
SATELLITE DISH ANTENNAS
ORDINANCE 1319 ESTABLISHING A MORATORIUM ON
City Attorney reviewed his memo of March 20 in uhich he recommended
council hold public heari.ng and adopt thls ordinance. Recently the
FCC has adopted regulations affecting 1oca1 regulation of satellite
dish antennas. Basically the regulation requires that we treat them
the same as television antennas unless there are established health'
safety and esthetic criteria, and in no event can we prohibit them-
He is reviewing this ruling rlith other city attorneys and they are
working on a neu nethod of regulating these antennas. Until this new
ordinance is ready, he suggested counci-1 adoPt the Urgency 0rdi.nance
which will be effective for 45 days. He conf irrned thaE an urgency
ordinance requires a 4-1 affirmative Yote to pass.
Councilman Pagliaro questioned whether ue can 1-egal1y inpose a
moratorium; he questioned how the present ordinance could be
challenged. City Attorney said we can adopt an urgency ordinance
while this lssue is being studied.
Mayor Mangini opened the publi.c hearing.
Martin Reed, 1401 Floribunda Avenue, spoke in
a cl-ear definition of satelli-te dish antennas
favor, he favors having
in a new ordinance.
Peter, a student from Ilill-sborough, spoke against the moratoriun.
Steve Sharple, nanager of Marriott Ilotel, currently has an application
before the Planning Commission for a satellite antenna. He reviewed
his hotel is at a disadvantage in not providlng thia service and
objected to a 45 day delay before any actlon can be taken.
Dan Rosenbledt, 1215 Vancouver, spoke agaj.nst, he also has an
application pending and is trying to comply wj.th city ru1es.
Robert Kearn, resident, spoke against; he works for a large inetaller
of satellite dish antennas and this ordinance would effectively put
them out of business for 45 days.
Mayor Manginj. closed the public hearing.
Councilman Pagliaro stated he would vote against this; he has no
probJ,em rrith our present satell-ite antenna ordinance; he considers
satellite di.sh antennas a blight on the envi-ronnent. Councilman Lembi
stated while he nornally opposed moratoriums he could suPport this.
Other council members agreed rrith city attorneyrs recommendation for
adoption. Counci-1man Pagliaro wondered h,hat is i11ega1 about our
present ordinance; City Attorney replied FCC regulation 1s that if you
treat satellite dish antenna differently than regular television
antennas you can't prohibit them and you must allow for their
placenent somewhere on a property. Council discussed exception for
the two parties who have applications pending, since they agreed to be
reviewed under the existing ordinance they could be allowed to
proceed. The City Attorney acknowledged that if these appllcations
were denj-ed, they could come back under the new ordinance for review.

Councilnan Pagliaro commented that if our present ordinance could be
successfully challenged in court, he would vote for the moratoriun.
Councilman Amstrup moved adoption of URGENCY ORDINANCE 1319. Seconded
by Councilwoman Barton with the exception of allowing the two present
applicants, Marriott Hotel and Rosenbledt, to proceed. Carried
unanimousJ-y 5-0 by rol-1 caLl vote.
City Manager reviewed City Attorney's memo of March 11 in which he
recommended council hold public hearing and take action. At aprevious meeting CounciLnan Pagliaro asked that nodifications be madeto the council expense poli.cy so that certain limitations are pJ-aced
on expenses which may be claimed. This ordinance would limit expensesto those meetings or other activities specifically involving one or
more governmental agenciesl it would exclude Chamber of Commerce
dinners and retirement dinners and uould exclude any mileage withlnthe city.
Councilnan Anstrup stated this ordinance wouLd put a burden upon the
Mayor because he is expected to attend many functions oD behalf of thecouncil and the city; perhaps the Mayor could be excepted from some ofthe restrictions. Council agreed that paid mileage should be limitedto outside the city. City Manager mentioned example from another city
where a council- member chose to attend conferences in other states atgreat expense. He suggested fulL council approval of any such trip.
Council continued this itern to Study Meeting and directed CityAttorney to bring revisions of this ordj.nance to Study Meeting foraction.
