PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Planning= Commission Actions - July 11, 1,989
a
On motion of Councilmember Larson, seconded by Councilmember Wormser, the report,
of the last Planning Commission meeting was unanimously acknowledged as received.
Hillside Development DistrictInterpre tation
Community Development Director Shaw reported a project proponent preparing plansrN
r for a residential development in the Live Oak Canyon General Plan area has requested
interpretation of the intended method of determining allowable density in each of the
three slope categories defined for the Hillside Development District. The project
g proponent believes staff interpretation may be more restrictive than intended by the
Commission and Council. Since the project will be the; first large development to be
processed under the Hillside Development Ordinance, staff believes a Council
Edetermination is appropriate to establish future procedure. On behalf of file
developer, Pat Meyer told Councilmembers they have found the ordinance difficult
' to interpret and noted the Southeast Specific Plan used Alternate 3 and he supported
Alternate 2. Carole Wesson voiced her support for the Planning Department's N
recommendation for Alternate 1. Councilmember Cunningham moved to approve
Alternate I for implementation of the Hillside Development District. For the salve of
discussion, Councilmember Beswick seconded the motion. Following lengthy discussion, W
it became apparent that several Councilmembers desired more clarification of the different
alternatives, and on motion of Councilmember Wormser, seconded by Councilmember
DeMirjyn, this matter was unanimously continued to July 31, 1989,.

Groundwater In accordance with Government Code Section 54954.2(b)(2), Mayor Beswick moved '7f ii
°- to discuss and take action on an item which arose subsequent to the agenda being
posted as specified in the Government Code. Motion seconded by Councilmeirber
Wormser and carried unanimously. It was reported that on July 17, 1989, the Board
of Directors of the San Bernardino Municipal Water District voted to reject the City's1r
}Vjit`:
request for spreading of imported water in the Santa Ana/Mill Creek area. At the
same time, the Board voted to approve a similar request by the City of San Bernardino '
for spreading of imported water in the north San Bernardino/Devil's Canyon area. �\
The major reason given for the decision was that San Bernardino faced an imminent
and substantial danger of water shortages while Redlands and other water producers �]IN
in the east end of the Valley with direct connections to the SBVMWD system only faced CC
a financial penalty from the existing low groundwater levels. It appears that once l j
again Redlands is being penalized financially for taking prudent actions to assure an :�h�
adequate water supply for its customers. The SBVMWD has an obligation to support ss�
R' the water needs of its constituents whether the impact of the need is direct water
` shortage or financial, This obligation must be addressed in spite of the status of 111';41',;,
�k current litigation. They have water and facilities available and should honor all of ,>`,ti'
the requests for spreading in the East Valley area. Council concurred to direct a �1
` letter to our representative Mr. Van Mouwerik and the other Board members to express 1\ t
` our deep disappointment and challenge their decision and to inform them we intend fir;
{ to pursue the matter to receive the same consideration as is granted to San Bernardino.
MOn behalf of Bear Valley Mutual Water Company, John Shone offered his support on
this matter and suggested the City talk with San Bernardino's Mayor Holcomb andhi
urged our attendance at the advisory commission meeting scheduled for next I,,"
Wednesday. Councilmember Cunningham indicated he would attend this meeting.
Council recessed at 5:37 P.M. to a Redevelopment Agency meeting and reconvened WiW";
at 5:38 P.M. to a closed session for the purpose of discussing personnel matters,
�i property acquisition, and pending litigation. In accordance with State law, the City ,13
Attorney prepared a confidential memo to Council providing justification for the pending `�1,'
,p litigation portion of the closed session. Council reconvened at 7:25 P.M.

9�s BIDS
Contract Award Bids were opened and publicly declared on June 28, 1989, by the City Clerk for the
North Redlands Street Lighting Project; a bid opening report is on file in the Office
Street of the City Clerk. The bid submitted by TBM Electric, Inc, appeared to be the lowest
Lighting bid. Upon further review, however, it was noticed that a lump sum figure was given
1 in place of the required unit price figure making their actual bid $2,078,820.00. At
this time, it is the recommendation of the Planning and Community Development
Department that the responsible bidder submitting the bid for said project which will
result in the lowest cost to the City is Steiny and Company, Inc. in the amount of
$82,859,00, and it is in the best interest of the City that this contract be awarded
to said firm. On motion of Councilmember Larson, seconded by Councilmember Wormser, ,.,t
