REPORTS CITY MANAGER'S REPORT CITY MANAGER BOURCIER announced that the City has advertised for bids for the remodeling of Casa de Salud; it is hoped that bids can be opened on December 30th; it is also hoped the City can get an expeditious determination of the City's permit from the Coastal Commission so construction can be started as soon as possible in January. The Planning Commission's recommendation that revised tentative SUBDIVISION MAP for SOUTH BAY TOWN & COUNTRY SHOPPING CENTER be approved, subject to three conditions; (1) that all the conditions of approval of the Tentative Subdivision Map - National Center Subdivision, as stipulated in City Council Resolution No. 11,223 shall apply to subject map; (2) that prior to City Council approval of the final map for this subdivision, the subdivider shall execute and submit to National City Planning Department a covenant running with the land, form and content to be approved by the City Attorney, agreeing that prior to the sale of either proposed Lot 8 and/or Lot 10, access easement (s) shall be grant- ed to said lots; said covenant shall be accompanied by a map or maps showing the location or locations of the easements to be dedicated in case of sale; (3) the final map reflect the correct- ions and additional information noted in the attached report of the Director of Public Works; i.e., (a) where reference is made to "Quarter Sections" as recorded on Map 166, the use of "Qtr" is requested instead of "1/4"; (b) the easterly terminus of 30th Street is the Westerly line of Qtr. Sec. 127; and (c) boundary between National City - Chula Vista should be noted, was presented. Moved by Pinson, seconded by Reid, in favor of the Plannin Commission's recommendations and the Environmental Im act Report received be approved (amended motion). Carried by unanimous vote. 12/2/75 205 The Planning Commission's recommendation that TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP for the north side of 14th Street between Orange and Euclid Avenues (D.M.D. DEVELOPMENT CO.) be approved subject to four conditions: (1) that curb, gutter, sidewalk and ½ street paving be installed along the property frontage of 14th Street in accordance with National City standards; (2) that the most easterly parcel shall be dimensioned 50.00 feet on both north- erly and southerly boundaries; (3) the anal map shall show the dedication and survey data required by the Director of Public Works; (4) that sanitary sewer fees in the amount to be deter- mined by the Director of Building and Housing be paid was presented, Moved by Pinson, seconded by Reid, in favor of the Planning Commission's recommendations. City Attorney McLean stated that the question of the alignment of Orange connecting 13th and 14th Streets is unresolved; we are not able to say how Orange -- if design will affect the property; the recommendation of the Engineering Department for an alignment of Orange Avenue as proposed has been sent to the Planning Commission and will be heard by them and a recommendation made to the Council about aligning Orange; it is possible that to make a recommendation to you as to how much, if any part, of Orange we properly could require the subdivider to donate and how much, if not ail, we will have to buy either now or later, at which time the Council could probably go ahead without acquiring Orange at this point. The City Attorney continued that if the Council desired to have the report of the Planning Commission about an alignment of Orange Avenue, he would recommend they not approve this plan until the Council has the alignment report from the Planning Commission. It was stated the developers were ready to start building houses in this area and should be put on notice of the street going through there. City Attorney McLean said that there's no legal way of doing that without having a street design and then making a decision as to how much, if any part, of the street has to be dedicated and how much you're going to have to buy. Planning Director Gerschler said the item would be on the Agenda by the 30th of December. It was stated that the City has streets that don't jive, don't connect, and should have streets that coincide and align; the City has been the victim of poor planning for a long, long time. Mayor Morgan addressed RAY DUKE, 1414 K Avenue, representing the D.M.D. Development Company and said the City was interested in taking the easterly part of the property for a street and although he didn't want to delay them, he was in favcr of the staff looking this over more closely. Mr. Duke stated that his Engineer had been working with the City on the problem in their initial phasing and in the Planning Department's last request that they cut the lot size on the easterly parcel to 50 feet; they were aware of this; they were going to build one structure at a time, not four at a time, starting with the west- erly lot and working east which coincides with the plan to work with the City; and this in no way hampers them in their building program while the City studies it, the only thing that would start to hamper them is if it is set over, because they are having meetings with their financial people tomorrow morning for funds on this property and it has already been set over once; and as you know, financing monies for property is getting pretty tight; if we put this further down then the operations and loans and stuff is putting us past the first of the year. Mr. Duke requested tentative approval so they could continue their plans while the City is working with theirs; they would like to be able to start on the westerly part of the property as soon as possible. Planning Director Gerschler said that he thought he could get a permit for one dwelling on the lot at the westerly end tomorrow. Mr. Duke said that that's the problem, they don't want to go into getting one development on one property, on one piece of property, then if something happened they would be stuck with one house on one piece of property. City Engineer Hoffland stated that their plan was for providing for a 50 foot wide right-of-way and take one of the routes up to 13th from 14th. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Pinson, the motion be amended to include authorizin the staff to continue77;111211e easterly 50lot in 9.----____thissubdivisionfor street purposes and the Clty Attorne 's comments that the w 12,4/ 206 that's Alternate A -- does not affect this property; proposal before the Plannin Commission wouldbeAlternate and only would follow all City ordinances and state laws and the City would not issue a building permit for that lot until the Council adecision on ac uisition. makes q City Attorney McLean stated that the spot the Council didn't want to get in is to approve the map, have them take out a building permit and then thirty days from now when the foundations are down have the Council say well, we better not do this. In answer to the question if this would be adequate for their lender, Mr. Duke said that as long as the map is a roved; they are just going with number one which would be the westerl lot. City Attorney McLean said that whatever parcel the east- erly erly parcel is the legend will show that it's subject to City acquisition and no permit will be issued.
