The Director of Community Planning and Development
summarized the proposed amendment, noting that the capital
projects were added as a result of an agreement with the

regarding the school.

Hearing with the right to re -open at any time.
Council/Agency Discussion:
Council advised of their awareness of the desires and needs
of the community with regard to the San Juan School, but
stated that inclusion of the site on the list of capital
improvement projects was a planning tool that would be useful
in dealing with the site should the School District decide
it is no longer needed as a school facility. Councilman
Buchheim stated opposition to destruction of the San Juan
School, but cited support of the Amendment as a vehicle for
implementing important projects.

plan.
Written Communications:
Report dated May 1, 1984, from the Director of Community
Planning and Development, setting forth differences between
Alternate A, the original proposal for stockpiling earth from
the Oso Creek Improvement Project, and Alternate B, the new
plan. The report forwarded a letter from the applicants'
representative, Bob Mickelson, Planning Consultant,
discussing four alternates and advising that Alternate A was
preferable, but Alternate B was acceptable. The report
recommended denial of the proposals.
Exhibits were on display and Larry Lawrence, Senior Planner,
made an oral presentation, noting that in Alternate B the
dirt would be spread out over a larger area at a lower

area for agriculture purposes. Mayor Hausdorfer noted that
the Planning Commission had not reviewed Alternate B.
Bob Michelson, 3828 Casselle Avenue, Orange, 92669, agent
for the lessee of the Bathgate property, discussed the
proposals and cited a willingness to submit landscape plans
to mitigate visual impacts. He noted a smaller stockpile at

contractor for the Oso Creek Improvement Project. He
further cited a concern to raise the property out of the
Flood Plain 2 zoning.
Council Discussion:
Council cited concerns regarding approval of a stockpile
plan without an approved grading plan; the lack of guarantee
of future development; and, the length of time needed for
landscaping to provide effective visual screening.

general practice as well as the General Plan.

to see any major stockpiling. Mr. Mickelson advised that if

will review any forthcoming proposals at their next meeting.
