Present : All Council Members , Attorney Carl Davis 1 . Conditional Use Permit No . 10) - E. J . 'Leiner - Continuation Consideration of C .U.P . No. 103 was tabled to this date from the Council meeting of October 5, 1965, in order to allow tiwe for a report from the County Flood Control District . At this time, Director of Public Works Shone described on an aerial map of the city , the proposed alignment for the perma- aent drainage channel for the Zan ja . This will run on an easement - sometimes 50 feet and sometimes bu feet - just north of the railroad. This location is recommended as being the most economical place for a permanent cement drainage channel . On this map, Mr . Shone also outlined a recommended easement pletion of the permanent channel would be between three and t( years . Sterling Cox Attorney Rex Cranmer, Mr. Zeiner, Mr. 4ne-h-Gem arid Mr . James Hicks addressed the Council concerning the desirability of cleaning out the Zanja. Mr, "Leiner stated that fie had 1A.- censes to permit his cleaning those sections of the Zarija whic he or Mr. Cox did not own , and that lie interided to do Lhis . Attorney Davis pointed out the City' s liability in making in- adequate solutions to problems on private property, and state( that a municipality assumes duty much higher than any indivi- dual would assume in a similar situation . Attorney Davis also pointed out to Mr. 'Leiner the possibility of Mr. Zeiner ' s incurring liability by this development from nearby property owners or from his own tenants , and he con- curred and, assumed the re5ponaibility therefor. Following Council discussion, Councilman Wagner made the fol- lowing motion . "Move to approve C . U.P. No . 103 subject to th( following Engineering Department requirements : 1 . Judson Street : a . Dedicate right-of-way to provide for 88-foot street . b. Install curb and gutter 32 feet from centerline . C * Install standard roadway between new curb and street centerline. d.

Agree to sell to the Flood Control District, at `air market value, the apartment houses and other improvements that must be removed to pro- vide for a permanent channel north of the rail- road right-of-way. The value of these facilitie; to be determined by three appraisers , one to be selected by Mr . E. J.

Agree to provide the City of Redlands and County Flo( Control District with a Hold Harmless clause for floc damage to the trailer park. All improvements to be designed by owner ' s civil en- gineer and installed to the specifications of the City Engineer. -tor bnone requested mat , if approved, minute note be made that the approval was given over the objection of the City Engineer. The motion carried by the following vote : A'YES . Councilmen Martinez , Wagner, Cummings NOES : Councilman Hartzell, Mayor Burroughs ABSENT: None In voting "No " Mr. Hartzell made the following statement : 1 . Trailer Parks are not a permitted land use . Original Ordinance No . 1124 adopted June 16, 1959 , permitting this use was repealed by Ordinance No . 1150, adopted September 20, 1960, and has not been reinstated since . 2 . Cannot be considered as an expansion of an existing use because the land now proposed for this use is not a part of the parcel on which the present trailer park exists , and is not a part of an integrated plan to ex- pand. 3 . Present trailer park is now a non-conforming use , and approval of application will amount to an expansion and perpetuation of such non-conforming use, in viola- tion of existing ordinance . It . Cannot be considered as a variance - Section 50. 10, Ordinance No . 1000, page 16. Should the members of the Council approve the application, then ; 1 . You are by implication adopting the study ordinance , i' Amendment No . 61 to Ordinance No . 10001 in spite of the fact that neither the Planning Commission nor, the Coun- cil could reach agreement on its provisions . 2 . You are in effect executing an ordinance without public review or hearing. J . You are legislating for and in behalf of special inter- ests exclusively , in the absence of any general public need or desirability for public health, safety and welIj - fare which is contrary to the accepted principles of democratic government . Councilman Cummings stated that the application was presented to Council under Ordinance No . 1202, prior to the removal of that ordinance from the Code . The Council has held up the applica- tion and for this reason it seems unjust to disqualify it at this time. Ordinance No . 1202 is applicable if the property is considered a problem parcel , and with all the discussion that has occurred, I cannot see how the subject property can be called anything else . This permit can also be justified as being re- lated to uses already existing in the area . Councilman Wagner stated that we have a parcel that is difficult to deal with, trapped between drainage channel, railroad and streets . This parcel deserves a chance to develop when this can be done, and a Mobile home Park is the highest and best use of this land. 2 . Tentative Map - Tract 6953 - Herb Tobin Council consideration of Tract No . 6953 originally scheduled for this time, was tabled at the request of Mr . Tobin.
