Ordinance be introduced designating Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the
City and establishing fire prevention measures for structures located within these

Continuance of Item:
It was moved by Council Member Nash, seconded by Council Member Jones, and
unanimously carried that this item be continued to the meeting of February 6, 1996.
Written Communication:
Report dated January 16, 1996, from the Engineering and Building Director, regarding the
request of seven property owners on Hunt Club Drive to waive all fees associated with the
proposed slope repair within Tract 6305, Lots 16-22. Staff recommended that a fee waiver
be granted to provide for the payment of actual costs to the City for plan checking and
inspection, including any out-of-pocket costs for outside consultants, not to exceed the fee
schedules. This item was continued from the meeting of January 2, 1996, at the request of
staff.
Public Comments:
(1) Anthony Montebello, 30812 Hunt Club Drive, spoke in support of reducing the fees.
(2) Thomas Merrell of Civic Solutions, 31726 Rancho Viejo Road, Suite 223, stated he
spoke on behalf of the seven homeowners in this matter. He suggested that
Alternative #4 in the Staff Report be adopted, approving a waiver of all City fees
except for direct out-of-pocket fees for outside consultant review. He noted that the
homeowners in question did not have insurance for this type of repair and have
incurred high out-of-pocket expenses.
Mr. Huber explained that the staff recommendation would waive the fee schedule and only
charge actual costs. In the event additional work was required, the charge would not exceed
what would have been required by the fee schedule. Alternative #4 would waive the fee
schedule and staff time and only charge for time spent by the outside consultant. He further
explained the City's policy to hire an outside independent geotechnical firm to review
submittals from the applicants' geotechnical firm to assure the plans were prepared in
accordance with City standards, and good grading and geotechnical practices. City staff time
would only involve review of the documents to ensure conformity with the City's codes; and,
inspection costs.
In response to Council Member Jones Mr. Huber advised that since 1993, approximately 44
permits had been processed for similar occurrences on single lots, several of which the cost
had been equal to this occurrence. He noted that no fee waivers had been requested.
Mr. Scarborough added that the requirement for a third party review by an outside consultant
City Council Minutes -9- 1/16/96
509
had not been in place in the late 1970's and early 1980's. It had since been put into place to
protect both the City and residents and to ensure compliance with local ordinances and
established grading practices.
(3) Richard Walker, 30872 Hunt Club Drive, urged the Council to waive the fees. He
noted that the homeowners have been unable to obtain funding from FEMA the
County, or the State, and that they have struggled financially to hire a geotechnical
firm and a contractor to begin the work. He stated that if creeping of the slope
continued, his home would be in jeopardy.
Mr. Huber stated that FEMA does not usually provide funding for damages to private
property. He noted that another property in the City which suffered damage from an adjacent
storm drain channel from Trabuco Creek was denied funding by FEMA because the damage
occurred to private property. He suggested that perhaps the Small Business Authority could
assist the homeowners in obtaining financial relief. Mr. Scarborough added that FEMA
required that the damage be associated with a disaster that had been officially declared.
Council Member Campbell felt it would be unfair to the taxpayers of the City to waive all of
the fees. She expressed concern that waiving the fees in this instance would set a precedent,
particularly since so many homes in the City are constructed on hillsides. Mr. Denhalter felt
that legal challenges would result if fees were waived in this instance and denied for others.
Council Member Nash concurred and questioned whether there was any way to recoup City
fees that had been waived if in the future the homeowners were able to obtain funding.
Mr. Huber suggested that consideration could be given to entering into a reimbursement
agreement with the homeowners or a to placin a lien. Mr. Scarborough noted that in the past,
the City had structured fee payments to be paid over a period of time. Mr. Denhalter stated
that a waiver of fees could be granted if findings could be made to clearly distinguish this
situation from other similar slides in the City; however, he felt those findings could not be
made in this instance. He noted that most slides in the City occur on private property.
Council Member Jones inquired about the City's policy to require geotechnical review.
Mr. Huber stated that over the last four to five years, the requirement had been added for an
outside independent geotechnical review to ensure the accuracy of the original geotechnical
report. Also instituted were geotechnical specifications requiring plans to meet the minimum
standards of care for drilling for testing soils values, etc., as well as a geotechnical inspection
to ensure projects are completed according to the geotechnical plans. He further added that
in areas of known geotechnical problems the City has an outside independent geotechnical
inspector inspect the work. In response to Council Member Jones, Mr. Huber advised he
would provide information regarding which of the 44 previously -noted slides had occurred
prior to the City's new policies.
City Council Minutes

Council Member Nash suggested that the staff recommendation be adopted, with direction
' to staff to work with the homeowners to seek additional sources for reimbursement of the
fees paid by the homeowners. Mr. Scarborough indicated he would discuss a repayment
structure with the homeowners for additional fees that would be required.
(4) Tom Lorch, 819 Avenida Salvador, San Clemente, noted that he had submitted claims
to FEMA and the Small Business Authority for damage to his vacant land but had
been denied. However, he felt that the homeowners in question might be able to
obtain a loan, with the City as a co -applicant.
Approval of Fee Waiver for Hunt Club Drive Slope Repair:
It was moved by Mayor pro tem Swerdlin, seconded by Council Member Nash, and
unanimously carried that a fee waiver be granted to provide for the payment of actual costs
to the City for plan checking and inspection, including any out-of-pocket costs for outside
consultants, not to exceed the fee schedules. Staff was directed to continue working with the
residents on a structure of fee payments.
