SPECIAL PROJECTS REVIEW
1. MEREDITH CANYON LANDSCAPING, TRACTS 8087 AND 8319
(85) Proposal:
A r— evi w scheduled to receive public input with regard to
the completion of the major slope landscaping for Tracts
8087 and 8319. All residents in Meredith Canyon and the
Board of Directors were notified of the meeting.
Written Communications:
Report dated June 20, 1979, from the Director of Community
Planning and Development, forwarding a list of developments
affecting the release of the landscaping to the homeowners'
association.
Mayor Friess advised that this item has been scheduled to
receive input from the residents of Meredith Canyon to help
Council determine whether or not to release the slopes back
to the Homeowners Association. Gary Mitchell, Land Use
Coordinator, advised that in February the Homeowners Association
had changed landscape contractors, resulting in a different
level of maintenance; further, that a forum had been held with
all parties concerned to discuss the situation. Mr. Mitchell
advised that there are four areas of concern: two slope
failures, one on the west side of Via de Agua, and one on
the east side; and, landscaping for areas at the ends of
Via de Agua and Calle Delgado, which are on property owned
by Glendale Federal. The major slopes have reached a point
where they may be formally released to the Homeowners Association,
which is currently maintaining them.
Receipt of Public Input:
The following persons addressed Council regarding the situation:
(1) Ron Jenner, 33501 Avenida Calita, advised that he felt
the problem stemmed from the initial installation and
choice of landscaping and that it should be the
developer's responsibility, not the homeowners;
(2) Lois Patti, 33731 Calle Miramar, advised that she felt
the landscaping and maintenance was the responsibility
of the homeowners;
(3) Glen Groos, 33501 Calle Miramar, advised that the slopes
behind his home had never had proper irrigation systems
installed and that he felt the landscaping has deteriorated
in the last 6 months;
-8- 6/20/79
369
(4) John Sayers, 33471 Calle Miramar, chairman of the
maintenance committee, discussed problems encountered
with contractors, landscaping, sprinklers, and advised
that he would like the area released back to the
Homeowners Association;
(5) Teri Groos, 33501 Calle Miramar, advised she felt the
slopes have deteriorated;
(6) Judy Jamroz, 33511 Calle Miramar, advised that Mr. Meredith
had informed her that the slope repairs were complete to
his satisfaction and that the area was landscaped and
planted to pre -failure conditions; that the City had
released him of the obligation to landscape the property
owned by Glendale Federal. Mrs. Jamroz felt the Homeowners
Association should be allowed to take responsibility
for the slopes and that the developer be released from
his responsibility for the areas the City deems appropriate;
Mr. Mitchell clarified that landscaping the property owned
by Glendale Federal is a condition of the tract.
(7) Ken Chapman, 33706 Calle Miramar, advised that the
Association is grateful for the City's efforts in trying
to resolve the problems, and that the developer should
be released of his responsibility.
Council Discussion:
Mayor Friess cited three options: to maintain the status quo;
to release all areas, including the slope failrues, to the
Association; or, to release the slopes deemed adequate and
complete to the Association and retain City jurisdiction over
the slope repair areas and to make a determination regarding
landscaping at the ends of the streets. Council concurred
in opposition to releasing the developer of his obligations
and that the Homeowners Association should receive control
over the slopes.
Release of Major Slopes:
It was moved by Councilman Thorpe, seconded by Councilman
Schwartze and unanimously carried to accept those major slopes
recommended by staff as being substantially adequate; to maintain
City jurisdiction over those areas that have been damaged and
need repair, including the ends of Via de Agua and Calle
Delgado; that a determination be made with regard to the
responsibility of the developer; and, that the bonds be
retained.
Staff was directed to take action to accomplish the release
of the slopes and to continue status reports on the four
remaining areas.
2. RE -OPENING OF CALLE SAN REMO
(87) Proposal:
A review scheduled to receive public
in the San Juan Terrace/Los Corrales
paving of Camino La Ronda and closure
on Calle San Remo.
Written Communications:
Report dated June 20, 1979, from the
forwarding a chronological review of
a re -opening date for Calle San Remo
issuance of the last occupancy permit
input on traffic conditions
developments after final
of the emergency access
Director of Public Works,
the problem and recommending
of 30 days following
for Tract 9373.
Receipt of Public Input:
The following persons addressed the Council regarding the
situation:
-9- 6/20/79
370
(1) Pat Grant, 28046 Calle San Remo, cited an incident on
Calle San Remo between a man on a bicycle and a sand
truck; noted that due to the incident medics were
called and did not have a key to go through the
barricade on San Remo; advised of his feeling that
San Remo should be open to residents of Los Corrales but
that construction traffic should be controlled;
(2) Betty Elder, 27881 Calle San Remo, expressed concern about
the completion of Los Corrales, final occupancy and
subsequent review in terms of re -opening Calle San Remo.
Mrs. Elder read portions of a petition dated June 19,
1979, and signed by approximately 150 residents of San
Juan Terrace, concurring with Council action of May 16th
to close San Remo with a barrier to allow emergency access ^
until issuance of the final occupancy permit and subsequent
review;
(3) Marilyn Haehn, 28261 Via Rueda, requested immediate
re -opening of Calle San Remo;
(4) Barbara Nalon, 28261 Paseo Corrales, requested re -opening
of Calle San Remo;
(5) Matt Kindred, 27892 Calle San Remo, advised that he was
the man on the bicycle in the incident cited previously;
suggested maintaining the "status quo" to allow for a
cooling off period;
(6) Dennis Haehn, 28261 Via Rueda, requested that the barricade
either be removed immediately or that Council set a
specific date for removal;
(7) Maria Wheeler, 27876 Calle San Remo, expressed concern
regarding construction traffic on Calle San Remo;
(8) James Yarborough, Paseo Corrales, advised that the truck
involved in the incident cited previously was delivering
sand to his home; requested action to allow access on
Calle San Remo;
(9) David Starr, 27927 Calle San Remo, advised of original
meetings with the developer of Los Corrales, wherein he
promised a barricade between the two tracts if traffic
was a problem; cited the problem of truck drivers ignoring
the signs at the bottom of the hill;
(10) Ward Kindred, 27892 Calle San Remo, advised that license
numbers of construction trucks using San Remo should be
reported to the Sheriff.
Council Discussion:
Mayor Friess advised of the need for clarification as to when
to give direction to the Traffic and Transportation Commission
to study the issue of re -opening San Remo. Councilman Thorpe
advised that the issue of safety cannot be known until all
construction traffic is gone from the area; reiterated the
intent of his original motion was that the street stayed
closed until construction pressure was over and in the interim
the Director of Public Works has the power to open the barricade
if there is a need; that he doesn't see the problem being
referred back to the Traffic and Transportation Commission.
Councilman Buchheim advised of the need for a load limit sign
at the entrance to San Juan Terrace; suggested residents notify
the Sheriff of violations and favored staff's recommendation.
Councilman Schwartze advised of his support for opening
Calle San Remo immediately.
-10- 6/20/79

Maintenance of Status Quo:
It was moved by Councilman Buchheim to set a date of 30 days
following issuance of the last occupancy permit for Tract 9373,
with the exception of the four residential units in the model
area, to remove the barricade on Calle San Remo and re -open the
street to through traffic. The motion died for lack of a
second.
There being no other motion, Mayor Friess advised that the
current policy stands. The Director of Public Works was
authorized to install the appropriate signs to deter traffic
from using Calle San Remo.

iYiuYDW \d
(85) Proposal:
An appeal of the Planning Commission's denial of a one-year
extension of time and of the grading plan for Tract 9784.
Appellant:
Morris Misbin, 33901 Calle Borrego, San Juan Capistrano.
Written Communications:
Report dated June 20, 1979, from the Director of Community
Planning and Development, forwarding the Planning Commission's
actions and staff findings with regard to the grading plan
and extension of time; and, recommending denial of both.
Mr. Misbin addressed the Council to cite his feelings that the
plans are good; that there will be extensive grading due to
City requirements for Route E, drainage basins and a park;
that the landscaping will be extensive. Mr. Bob Dickey, a
civil engineer/engineering geologist employed by Mr. Misbin,
advised that he had worked with City staff in 1975 on Route
E; that from a geologic standpoint the plans are good.
Council discussed concerns with the amount of grading required.
Mayor Friess suggested some other approach to the density;
i.e., clusters. Councilman Thorpe advised that the major
grading is due to City requirements and that extensions on
maps are given to provide for negotiation. Councilman Buchheim
expressed concern about the stability of the area after grading.
Approval of Extension of Time:
It was moved by Councilman Thorpe and seconded by Councilman
Buchheim to extend the Tentative Tract Map for a one-year
period. The motion carried by the following vote:

Councilman Schwartze cited his feelings that given the tract
map, the grading could be no different; cited a lack of
direction to the developer; that grading will be needed if
the City requires certain items. In response to Council,
staff advised that there is a condition of approval that ties
occupancy to completion of landscaping. It was clarified that
2.8 acres are to be dedicated for public park purposes; the
remainder for private park purposes, totalling approximately
4.1 acres designated for park purposes. Mr. Misbin advised
that if the City wishes, he will dedicate the entire park
area. He further advised that in terms of phasing of

1. REQUEST FOR FLOOD PROTECTION - TRABUCO CREEK
(80) Proposal:
A request for direction regarding possible channelization of
Trabuco Creek to protect property from low flow storm damage
and erosion.
Written Communications:
Report dated June 20, 1979, from the Director of Public Works,
recommending approval of the concept of providing property
protection in Trabuco Creek; and, that the cost of the needed
improvements be borne by all properties receiving benefit.
Discussion:
Mr. Murphy advised that this is a change in concept to allow
for a protection device within the channel rather than on
the property line.
Mr. Steve Kabel, Chambers Consultants and Planners, representing
Pete Gibbs, 33042 Sea Breeze, San Juan Capistrano, advised that
Mr. Gibbs wishes to develop a stable facility in the area; that
some insurance is needed that the stable would be protected
during a storm; suggested development of a 100' wide, 10' deep
channel lined with rip rap and covered with native vegetation;
suggested that the developed channel would extend from Oso
Road to Mr. Gibbs' property line.
Council discussed concerns that the proposed channel development
does not hookup with the existing channel development; that the
situation might prove to be more dangerous and cause more
damage if storm water were to get behind the existing channel.
Flood Protection Approved In Principal:
It was moved by Councilman Schwartze, seconded by Councilman
Buchheim to approve the concept of providing property protec-
tion from low flow storm floodwaters in Trabuco Creek and to
direct staff to process developments in that area conditioned
that the creek is sufficiently improved to provide low flow
protection and that the cost of such improvements are to be
borne by all properties receiving benefit. Further discussion
ensued regarding the elimination of Mr. Gibbs' choice to either
develop the channel or to take his chances with the flood waters.
The motion was subsequently withdrawn.
It was moved by Councilman Schwartze, seconded by Councilman
Buchheim to approve the channelization; that it will be a
condition of any development and that the City will not be
financially involved. Following clarification that the
channelization would be a condition of approval of development,
Councilman Buchheim withdrew his second. The motion died.
It was moved by Councilman Thorpe, seconded by Councilman
Buchheim and unanimously carried to approve the principal
of flood control protection for this area subject to a more
definite plan being returned to Council spelling out the type
of flood control and the way in which the property owners, both
present and future, would be involved in the process.

served basis.

as submitted; that among other alternatives, staff could be
increased or the procedures changed; that the system and
