City Planner reviewed her memorandum of November L4 in which she
recommended council hold public hearing and take action. Councilman
Pagliaro has ca11ed this project up for review at the last meeting.
Tha Carruf Corporation is requesting three special permits to build a

are for height, floor area ratio and exceeding three of the Design
Guidelines: front setback equal to height of building, front setback
equal to half the width of the structure, and obstruction of more than
40 percent of street f rontage.
Councilman Pagliaro reviewed his concerns. Did the original EIR
address this current project; whether developer should be required to
provide a maintenance bond for maintaining the Fisherments Park;
Airport Boulevard improvements and the bridge improvements over
Sanchez Creek channel; how is proportionaLe share for road
improvements figured, DPW stated it is computed on traffic generation;
when would road improvements go in, DPld stated when project is bui1t.
Vice ivlayor Martin st.ated he also had concerns about maintenance of
parks and roads, and had suggested an assessment district to recover
costs and to provide that city mai-ntain those areas.
Vice Mayor Martin opened the public hearing.
Mark Hornberger, rePresenting the Carruf Project, showed a sli-de
presentation of Ehe project. He reviewed the fire safety of project,
the four main access points for fire trucks with ladders to reach roof
area, the two exits from each f1oor. He also showed the improvements
to Fishermen t s Park and the dedication of 1B parking spaces
exclusively for the park, and the public access routes to the bay

PUBLIC HEARING _ MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR A USE
DETERMINATION AND PARKING VARIANCE - 1 157 CALIFORNIA DRIVE
City Planner reviewed her memorandum of November 14 in which she
recommended council hold public hearing and take action. Approval of
the Mitigated Negative Declaration does not constitute approval of theproject, nor does it prejudice in any way future action on the
project. This project is for a daytime video studio and a nighttime
restaurant/bar and disco in the old Encore Theater building.
Council had a number of questions and concerns: would the project
have a public hearing, CP replied yes; noise impact could be great,
councj-1 has had previous experience with noisy discos in residential
areas; building could be soundproofed, but would not eliminate noise
of patrons outside.
Vice Mayor Martin opened the public hearing. There being no comments,
the hearing was closed.
Councilman Pagliaro questioned whether the project would operate until
2 a.m. or unLil 4 a.m. CP replied that originally they had requested
to operate until 4 a.m. but have revised the request to 2 a.m.
Councilman Pagliaro could not find this document adequate, did not
understand how they could differentiate between noi-se made between l2midnight and 1 a.m. and noj-se made between 1 and 2 a.m.

CONTINUED CONSIDERATION OF FAIRF]ELD ROAD TRAFF]C PROBLEMS
Director of Public hlorks reviewed his memorandum of November L4 in
which he recommended council approve Alternate 1 of six alternates
presented. Alternate 1 would install 25 mph speed limit signs on
Fairfield and increase enforcement of speed limit on both blocks of
Fairfield. It would respond to concerns of residents on Fairfield
to the schoolrs and PTArs concerns about keeping street open. Some
the other alternates were to increase the angle of a right turn off
Camino, making street one-way southbound and installing ttrumble
strips.tt He noted the State saw nothing wrong with increasing the
angle of the right turn but reserved comments on making the street
one-way.

b.HILLSIDE DRIVE SEI,{ER AND WATER REHAB]LITATION JOB 325
Director of Public Works reviewed his memorandum of November 15 in
which he recommended council award two contracts, one for water line
replacement to Homer J.01sen in the amount of $108,980 and the other
for sewer rehabilitation and repairs to L.J. Duarte in the amount of
$342,693. City had received a letter from Homer J. 01sen, Inc.,
187
objecting to the method of bid award. 01sen was the 1ow bidder for
the entire project, but if the water and sewer blds are split the city
can save approximately $30,000. City had noted in specs that it might
choose to split the bids.
Gerald E. Clair of Homer J. 01sen, Inc., reviewed his objections to
this method of awarding the bid. He noted that splitting the project
would inconvenience the homeowners because one contractor would work
on first project and move oD, then the next. contractor would tear up
street again for the second project.
Council reviewed the bidding process with Director and City Attorney.

c. and d. CONSTRUCTION 0F SEWER REPAIR AT 2740 SUMMIT DRIVE JoB 4t1
Director of Public lJorks reviewed history of this project. A sewer
was accidently fi11ed with cement while a home was being bui1t. The
contractorrs insurance company has agreed to pay for repairs after
some negotiation, meanwhile a temporary above-ground sewer line is in
use.
Director of Public Works noted that city had received a letter from
Attorney Hugh F. Conno11y, representing adjoining property owners at
2722 E1 Prado, objecting to city authorizing work on this hillside
during rainy weather. The hill has had problems in past and client
would hold city responsible for any damage if work is commenced atthis time.
Director of Public Works stated contractor had said he would need atleast five days without rai-n before he would start on project. The
only alternative is to wait until spring and go to bid again.
Director will talk to contracLor. City Attorney noted that contractor
would be responsible for damage if he determined to work at this time.
Councilman Pagliaro requested that the agreement. for easement alsoinclude a paragraph that the owners will pay for repairs if his
insurance company does not. City Attorney will add phrase and bothitems will come back at the next meeting.

Memo from Police Chief regarding Radar Enforcement on Carolan
Avenue.
Councilman Pagliaro was amazed that a judge dismissed a 57 mph
citation on basis of the speed survey on Carolan where the mean speed
is listed at 44 miles per hour. The judge staLed city can posL a
lower than mean speed limit with a vari-ance of up to five miles per
hour. In essence, we can post speed of 40 mph, not 35 mph.

Alan Horn, 7325 Paloma, objected strongly to the Police Departmentfs
Sobriety Road Check for drunk drivers. He said it violated the Fourth
