Present: Councilmembers Miller, DeMirjyn, Knudsen, Grace, Mayo: Cu Ings; Deputy City Attorney Brunick Absent : None 0�,1 3 A .ends Redlands adopting Precise (Specific) Street Plan No. 14, was introduced, with public hearing on the resolution set for 7:00 P.M. , September 17, 1974. C.U.P. No. 226 - Reverend Peter P. Staviski That the request of Reverend Peter P. Staviski for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a community school for children on property located on the south side of Stillman Avenue, 500 feet east of Grove Street, be approved, subject to compliance with the requirements of the various departments as contained in Planning Commission minutes dated July 23, 1974. Mr. Saul Eisenberg, of 1321 Stillman Avenue, has filed an appeal to this decision. Council also received petitions signed by most of the residents in the area and letters from individuals protesting the granting of this Conditional Use Permit. Mayor Cummings read Mr. Eisenberg' s appeal, and asked Father Staviski il: he would care to comment on it. Father Staviski preferred to let the opponents of his project present their arguments first. The following residents of the area spoke against this use in their R-2 zone: Mr. Eisenberg, 1321 Stillman; Mr. M. J. Smith, 1309 Stillman; Mr. Owen Zurcher, owner of the Cameo Apartments, 1351 Stillman; Mrs. Margie Daylstrom, 1311 Stillman; Mrs. M. J. Smith, and Mrs. Eisenberg. They stated their concern for this type of facility in a residential area and the possible impact of a project like this on the value of property in the area, questioned the type of children who would be attending the school and whether they would cause problems in the neighborhood, and reiterated their desire that the area be kept residential. Father Staviski attempted to dispel their concern with an explanation of the type of children who would be attending his school; they are children with learning problems, not disciplinary problems. He stated that he has been located in Mentone for three years and has never had a situation where the children have caused any difficulty at all with any of the neighbors, and that even the neighbors who opposed his first school in Redlands have no such feelings now. He introduced Dr. Maxine Smith of the Yucaipa School District, who described his successful work with children from that school district and asked that favorable con- sideration be given to his request. Next he introduced Mrs. Johnson of the Diagnostic Center at Franklin Elementary School, who has worked with some of his children, and refers children to him. She also urged Coun- cil to consider his request favorably. Mayor Cummings summarized the dilemma facing the Council : a Conditional Use Permit is a special kind of permit to allow people to go into an area for approved purposes, and by the nature of their positions they must pay some attention to people who live there. Father Staviski pointed out that he is restricted by city ordinances to put this type of facility in an R-2 zone, and added that he was sorry he had not been able to dispel the neighbors ' fears about his school because the property would have fitted his needs beautifully. Councilman DeMirjyn moved to deny approval of Conditional Use Permit No, 226. The motion was seconded by Councilman Miller and unanimously adopted. Councilman Knudsen then suggested that perhaps consideration should be given to the possibility of permitting such a home in an agricultural district, or in areas which have not been developed, so that future development will occur with the home already there. He cited the loca- tion of the Terracina Convalescent Home as an example of this type of planning.
