Parcel Number 0172-321-43 totaling 68,591 square feet into two parcels one
Planning Commission Minutes of

Page 2
totaling 19,288 square feet with an existing house and the other parcel totaling
49,303 undeveloped vacant land within the R-S, Suburban Residential District
located at 1107 Cypress Avenue.
Chairman Macdonald opened the public hearing.
Project Planner Joshua Altopp gave a brief overview of the proposed project. Mr. Altopp stated that there
are issues relative to the undergrounding of the utilities. He stated that the applicant is proposing to pay
in-lieu fees for the costs. Staff is recommending approval of the project with the waiver of
undergrounding the utilities.
Commissioner Osborne asked about the in-lieu fees. Mr. Altopp stated that the fees will be for the true
cost of the entire job.
Chairman Macdonald asked if the applicant was present to address the Commission.
John Hiebert, applicant, had questions relative to the power lines and the subdivision across the street
and asked if he would be required to pull his power under that street. Mr. Altopp stated that it would
depend on which development would need to get it done first because of timelines.
Mr. Hiebert had concerns relative to the costs of undergrounding the utilities and the responsibilities of the
other property owners. Mr. Altopp stated that staff just conditions the project and leaves it up to the
applicant to work out the details with the other property owners involved.
Commissioner Miller referred to the housing development currently under construction across the street
and asked if they were conditioned to underground these same utilities. Mr. Altopp responded that they
were conditioned to underground the utilities. Director Shaw stated they would be responsible for the
lines going across the street but not for the line on Mr. Hebert's frontage. Commissioner Osborne
commented that the Vines development would go underground but Mr. Hiebert would need to remove the
pole since it is on the front of his property.
Assistant Director John Jaquess stated that the development across the street is working on recordation
at this time and would be required to underground the lines coming from across the street.
Mr. Heibert asked if the development across the street would be required to underground the existing
house that was on the original property. Mr. Jaquess stated that would be required as part of the
subdivision.
Bill Cunningham, resident, commented that it is disturbing that projects are not being undergrounded as
they go forward and stated that it would be a gross mistake to postpone this project with the possibility of
never having it completed. He added that putting money into a pool would degrade over time in value.
Chairman Macdonald closed the public hearing.
Director Shaw commented that if the applicant is going to pay for the cost of undergrounding, he may
want to go ahead and underground the utilities because of the aesthetic improvement on the site. He
stated that in the event that the applicant changes his mind at a later time, staff has written a condition
that would give the applicant the ability to still underground the utilities.
Commissioner Miller asked if engineering took into consideration the cost of undergrounding utilities
going up at a faster rate than the interest that the money would earn in a fund. Director Shaw stated that
according to code, the in-lieu fee cost would cover the cost as if it were to occur today.
Commissioner Osborne asked for clarification relative to the recording of the final map in the event the
utilities are not undergrounded. Mr. Jaquess stated that the applicant has the authority to bond for that
Planning Commission Minutes of
October 24, 2006
Page 3
improvement and could go ahead and record the map. He added that the applicant is obligated by the
surety bond to do the improvements that were conditioned.
Commissioner Miller asked if Public Works expressed an opinion relative to undergrounding the utilities or
having the money funded. Director Shaw stated that it was more of a policy issue.
Commissioner Shamp asked what mechanisms were in place to ensure that projects get executed as
soon as funds are adequate. Director Shaw stated that it would be best to come back with a report
relative to that issue.
Commissioner Osborne commented on the motion of waiver for underground utilities being cost
prohibited and asked if the motion is to allow the applicant to pay in-lieu fees or eliminating the
undergrounding one hundred percent. Mr. Altopp stated that the applicant would have to pay whatever
the true cost would be for the entire project.
Mr. Jaquess stated that staff is trying to identify the physical constraint that makes it impractical in going
underneath the channel which is off-site of the applicants property to the west. Director Shaw referred to
Municipal Code 17.17.020, item 3A, and recommended that the motion be modified as it relates to the
physical constraints.
Commissioner Shamp asked if Public Works had a priority list of undergrounding projects, and if the
undergrounding of utilities on Clifton Avenue was considered a priority. Mr. Jaquess stated that Director
Ron Mutter should address Commissioner Shamp's question.
Commissioner Shamp commented on the applicant's ability in choosing whether to pay into a fund or
undergrounding the utilities, and stated that it would be a wiser use of that money to target priority areas
and request that the applicant go one way or the other depending on those priorities.
Mr. Jaquess called the Public Works Department and was advised that Public Works Director Mutter was
not available to address the Commission.
Both Commissioners Cook and Shamp concurred that they do no want to leave it as a choice for the
applicant to choose between undergrounding or paying in-lieu fees.
Chairman Macdonald asked if the Vines property is conditioned to underground utilities. Mr. Shaw
responded that the Vines property was conditioned.
Commissioner Cook asked if why the applicant is not undergrounding the utilities if the costs are the
same. Commissioner Shamp requested to hear from the applicant relative to his choice.
Chairman Macdonald opened the public hearing.
Mr. Hiebert stated that the question he had was relative to the marker for the property line where the
power pole is located and that the major problem and expense is in taking the utilities under the drainage
ditch, which is on the neighbor's property. Mr. Heibert stated that he could not understand why he has to
underground through someone else's property.
Mr. Shaw asked if the pole was on the property line. Mr. Hiebert stated that the pole is either on the
property line or within inches of it and could not recall what side of the property line that the pole is
located.
Commissioner Cook commented that Mr. Heibert and the neighbor are going to have to underground the
pole and asked if Mr. Heibert would be first to develop his property. Mr. Hiebert responded that he would
be the first to develop his property.

Mr. Jaquess referred the Commission back to the ordinance section attached to the packet, stating that
the code provides the Commission with some potential discretion in this area.
Director Shaw commented that the Commission is still implementing the condition if the pole is on the
property line or very close to it. Director Shaw asked Mr. Altopp if the pole was located within inches or on
the property line. Mr. Altopp stated that he evaluated the location of the pole according to what was
shown on the map.
Mr. Shaw commented that the key issue for this project is where the pole is located relative to the
property line. He stated that it will affect the condition considerably if the pole is on or in close proximity
to the property line. Mr. Shaw added that staff needs to know exactly where the pole is located so that
the Commission can make a decision and recommended a two week continuance.
Chairman Macdonald closed the public hearing.
Chairman Macdonald asked if there was any further discussion relative to undergrounding and asked for
the Commission's input.
Commissioner James stated that he would rather see undergrounding between the two poles but that the
westerly pole remain in place.
Commissioner Miller commented that he would like to ask Public Works Director Mutter what is in the best
interest of the City relative to undergrounding the utilities or having the money go into a fund. He added
that the undergrounding should be in relative proportion of the development.
Commissioner Osborne concurred with Commissioners James and Miller and stated that the westerly
pole could remain if staff determines that the pole is close enough to the property line.
MOTION
It was moved by Commissioner Osborne, seconded by Commissioner Cook, and carried on a 7-0 vote
that the Planning Commission continue Minor Subdivision No. 299 to the meeting of November 14, 2006.

USE PERMIT NO. 895 for the on-site sale of beer at the existing Redlands
Shooting Park on a parcel totaling 10.4 gross acres located at 2125 Orange
Street in the O, Open Space District.
Chairman Macdonald opened the public hearing.
Project Planner Joshua Altopp gave a brief overview on the proposed conditional use permit. Mr. Altopp
stated that the property previously held a license to sell beer but that it lapsed due to a change in
ownership. He added that the Police Department has made the decision to support the beer license.
Staff recommended continuance to finalize some details relative to legal issues and procedural matters.
Chairman Macdonald asked is anyone in the audience wanted to speak. No comments were forthcoming
and Chairman Macdonald closed the public hearing.

B. LOUISE HAYES, APPLICANT
(PROJECT PLANNER: JOSHUA ALTOPP)
1. Planning Commission to consider a Mitigated Negative Declaration.
2. PUBLIC HEARING for the Planning Commission to consider a Socio-Economic
Cost/Benefit Study.
3. PUBLIC HEARING for the Planning Commission to consider Tentative Tract
Map No. 18169 - a Tentative Tract Map to subdivide approximately 1.84 acres
into 5 lots for property located on the north side of Cypress Avenue
approximately 150 feet west of University Place in the R-S, Suburban Residential
District.
Chairman Macdonald opened the public hearing.
Project Planner Joshua Altopp gave an overview of the proposed project. Staff recommended approval
of the project subject to the conditions of approval.
Chairman Macdonald asked if the applicant was available to address the Commission.
Louis Flores, Project Engineer, stated that he was available for questions.
Commissioner Miller commented that the common drive allows cars to pass each other but does not
afford parking. He asked Mr. Flores if he would have a problem with a condition that would require the
developers of the lots to provide off-street parking in addition to the typical space in front of the garages.
Mr. Flores stated that they are complying by providing off-street parking but questioned what
Commissioner Miller was asking to do other than providing an easement for parking.
Commissioner Miller stated that he wanted to add a condition requiring a ten by twenty(10 x 20)foot long
piece of asphalt or concrete in addition to what is normally in front of the garage. Mr. Flores stated that
there would be off-street parking available between the garage and the private drive.
Commissioner Miller asked if the off-street parking needed to be paved. Director Shaw gave several
alternatives that could be utilized, such as providing one additional space for each of the lots or providing
an additional eight (8)feet of parking area which would provide parallel parking in front of each of the lots.
Director Shaw added that this could be done in a form of an easement where visually it would look like
part of the street.
Mr. Flores stated that off street parking would be preferable than having the additional eight feet or an
easement and did not see a problem in providing an additional paved area.
Commissioner Shamp had questions relative to the detention basins and asked if they would be able to
accommodate significant amounts of storm water and how quickly the water would be infiltrated. Mr.
Flores stated that the basins are sized according to specific criteria set by the County and should be able
to detain the soils as far as the percolation rate in that area.
Commissioner Osborne asked if the perimeter wall on the west side of the private streets was six (6) feet
tall. Mr. Flores stated that code would allow a six foot wall but depending on the grade difference, the
City may limit the height so as to improve visibility near University.
Planning Commission Minutes of
October 24, 2006
Page 6
Commissioner Osborne commented that planters would soften the expanse of the wall. Commissioner
Cook concurred and suggested planting vines. Mr. Flores stated that planting vines along the wall would
not present a problem but did not want to create a wide planter area that would compromise the ability of
fire or trash collection since it would require widening the driveway.
Commissioner Cook asked if the Commission had the ability to condition something along the wall on a
tentative tract. Director Shaw stated that the Commission could require landscaping but had concerns
relative to the extent of narrowing the driveway and how it would affect the traffic width. Mr. Flores stated
that it would not compromise the development standards.
Commissioner Shamp stated that there would be an added advantage in providing a curb as this would
protect the wall.
Chairman Macdonald stated that additional parking slabs on the property would work. He commented
that the street is very narrow and would be compromised if additional footage was taken for the wall
planter.
Mr. Flores suggested widening the driveway a foot to accommodate a planter and provide an easement
for parking that could be paved. He stated that an easement for parking would condition the project and
each property owner to provide for it. Commissioner Shamp suggested using a lattice block or grass
pavers that would look like landscape that could be parked on. Mr. Flores commented that it would
improve the project aesthetically and would be one of the preferable methods of treatment that was
suggested for the final Water Quality Management Plan, making the provision of an easement preferable.
Commissioner Miller had reservations relative to the impervious block and the survival of the grass that
would be parked on or driven over a regular basis. Mr. Flores commented that the impervious block
would accommodate vehicles parked on it.
Commissioner Osborne asked if they were considering doing the easement continuously from lots three
(3) to five (5) or just doing a twenty (20) foot section with a grassy area. Commissioner Shamp
commented on requiring continuous parking on lots three (3) through five (5), stating that it would
significantly reduce the usable depth of the lot but that the retention basin would have to be widened so
that the area remains the same. Mr. Flores stated that the detention basins can be relocated a little more
to the rear building setback area. He added that if there is an area that needs to be used for parking, the
detention area can be relocated back to accommodate a vehicle and that the lot grading is designed to
allow that to occur.
Chairman Macdonald asked if anyone in the audience would like to address the Commission. No
comments were forthcoming and Chairman Macdonald closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Miller asked for clarification on what is being measured relative to the two foot planter.
Commissioner Osborne stated it would be eighteen inches of planter and six (6) inches of curb.
Chairman Macdonald stated that conditions would be needed for the planter area and the easement for
the parking.
MOTION
It was moved by Commissioner Foster, seconded by Commissioner Osborne, and carried on a 7-0 vote
that the Planning Commission approve the Mitigated Negative Declaration for Tentative Tract Map No.
18169 and direct staff to file and post a "Notice of Determination" in accordance with city guidelines. It
has been determined this project will not individually or cumulatively affect wildlife resources as defined in
Section 711.2 of the California Fish and Game Code.

MOTION
It was moved by Commissioner Foster, seconded by Commissioner Osborne, and carried on a 7-0 vote
that the Planning Commission approve the Socio-Economic Cost/Benefit Study for Tentative Tract Map
No. 18169 as it has been determined that this project will not create unmitigable physical blight or
overburden public services in the community, and no additional information or evaluation is needed.
MOTION
It was moved by Commissioner Foster, seconded by Commissioner Osborne, and carried on a 7-0 vote
that the Planning Commission approve Tentative Tract Map No. 18169 subject to conditions of approval,
and based upon the following findings:
1. The proposed map is consistent with the City's General Plan and Municipal Code. The project
has a General Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential and a zoning of 'R-S',
Suburban Residential District and is consistent with both the General Plan and Municipal Code;
2. The site is physically suitable for the type of development. The site is large enough to subdivide
into five (5) lots;
3. The site is physically suitable for the density of development of a five (5) unit subdivision. The
General Plan Land Use Designation of Low Density Residential and `R-S', Suburban Residential
District both allow for at least five (5) units;
4. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The
subject site is not identified as being within an area containing biological resources or within a
wildlife corridor;
5. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health
problems. This is a residential project and is not likely to cause any serious public health
problems, aside from temporary air quality and noise impacts during construction addressed in
the project's Mitigation Measures;
6. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements,
acquired by the public at large, for access through or use or property within the proposed
subdivision;
7. That pursuant to California Government Code Section 66474.4, of the Subdivision Map Act, the
land is not subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of
1965. The property is not in an agricultural preserve.
This includes the addition of two conditions of approval as follows:
22. The applicant shall install a two (2) foot wide planter consisting of 18 inches of planter
and a six (6) inch curb to the west property line along the base of the six foot tall block
wall. Landscaping shall be installed which shall be approved by staff and may include
vines and shrubs. This landscaping shall be maintained by the Homeowners
Association.
23. The applicant shall provide an 8-foot easement on the west property lines of parcels two
(2)through five (5) consisting of a pervious surface for the location of guest parking.

recommending continuance so that the application can be brought forward with the zone change request.
Mr. Meyer stated that the applicant concurred with staff's analysis on the zone change.
Commissioner Miller commented on the acoustical analysis that we completed in April, 2004 and asked if
the acoustical engineer considered the frequency of trains that is being predicted to travel up San
Timoteo. Mr. Meyer stated that acoustical engineer, Gorden Bricken, probably contacted the railroad and
projected the noise but will contact him relative to this issue. Mr. Meyer mentioned that the residents
along Alessandro are proposing that the area be designated as a quiet zone for the railroad.
Mr. Meyer had questions relative to the date of the continuation and was advised that it would be
continued to November 14th 2006.
Bill Cunningham, representing the Redlands Association, commented that the area north of the creek
between Alessandro and Fern has been a long time goal of preservation. Mr. Cunningham commented
on flooding, the noise from the trains, biological elements and habitat areas that need to be addressed.
