COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS COUNCILMAN WATERS asked the City Manager to check into whether or not em- ployees leaving City employment usually are given recognition with a cer- tificate; he did not see a presentation to Phil Milligan, who left City employment after 15 years. COUNCILMAN WATERS asked Planning Director Gerschler what procedure was used to follow up on things that the Council suggested in relation to, say Scrap Disposal ; they were given permanent zoning with the under- standing that within one year they would fix up their establishment; he didn't see anything happening. Planning Director Gerschler stated they have all the use permits of various kinds that the City has used over the years; they have researched them and tagged them for "call back" periods; at the end of an expiration period they have them tagged and each month they pull all those cases for checking; just last week, as a matter of fact, a case came up on their system of checking; they are being advised of the deadline, if they don' t eliminate the violation the code then specifies they take the zoning violation to the Planning Commission; they make a ruling as to whether or not a violation exists; if they rule a violation exists, it is referred to the City Attorney for proper legal action and he has several choices; that is routine. There was discussion. Councilman Waters suggested procedure be simplified by deputising a member of the Planning staff to issue citations for zoning violations. City Attorney McLean stated there are a lot of approaches to zoning enforcement and Mr. Gerschler has proposed an amendment to attempt to streamline our enforcement procedures; however, on certain philosophy involved, City Council has some choices to make now; it would be feasible for us to set the whole thing up just like a traffic ticket; give them a citation, tell them to appear in court; you could do that; however, in almost every case where there is a violation of zoning, the person with whom you deal, is a law abiding, tax paying citizen of this community; we try to deal with them and their zoning violation in that content. VICE MAYOR REID presented a service pin to Lt. Milton Hunter, Police Department, who has been with the City for 25 years.

WYLIE, DIRECTOR C & G HOMES, also owner of A.R. WYLIE SIGN COMPANY, who submitted a letter acting as agent for the 7/18/72 257 subdivider to the Planning Commission who met with them a week ago last night; the recommendation of the Planning Commission was that there was nothing in the scope of the ordinance which did allow off -site subdivi- sion directional signs for other than a subdivision locater within the City of National City; therefore, off -site subdivision directional signs are authorized if the subdivision is located within the City limits of National City; in this particular instance, we do have a subdivision located outside the City of National City in the City of San Diego; however, the only entrance into the subdivision is off Plaza on Olive; this is the only entrance to the subdivision at the present time; the model home complex will be built at the end of the City limits of National City; they are at a loss on bringing people into the development other than in this entry way. Mr. Wylie said they applied to the Planning Comm- ission for a 4 x 5 which was recommended by staff; they had to present this to the Planning Commission to find out if there was something in ordinance which would allow a subdivision directional sign not within the city limits of National City to be erected in National City; they reduced the sign size to 16 sq ft; there would be two small signs; one on the north side and one on the south side of Plaza Boulevard; they get them in . to that point from newspaper advertising, etc.; they would like Council's consideration on the encroachment permit; they will post bond, underwrite, or what have you, in regard to an insurance policy, etc. Mr. Wylie continued regarding the improvement on Reo Drive it has been discussed with the Planning Director; maybe Mr. Gerschler could fill them in in regard to this as far as funding, etc; Mr. Chilco, owner of C & G Homes, is well prepared for the improvement on Reo Drive subject to the bonding, etc.; he is wiling to improve 1 the street and is sure it will be feasible to improve the other. THOMAS ZOCIMARAS, JR, stated he is not in the grading, improvement part of Chilco Construction Co., but did have a brief chat with one of the Engineers; he thinks someone has contacted -- the Planning Department; his understanding was that Mr. Chilco's position was that he would be more than glad to go along with anything that is feasible and that is his understanding of the position. There was further discussion. Planning Director Gerschler reported that he had a conversa- tion with Mr. Zoumaras and with the Engineer and he advised both of them that the question of opening Redo Drive was one to be considered by our City Manager; he discussed this with Mr. Osburn and he had asked to con- tact them and arrange a meeting which he will do perhaps before they get away tonight; he would urge the Council to follow this action to delay this matter over till they can give Council a report on Reo Drive. City Attorney McLean said the staff is reporting there is no question our ordinance will not allow them to put up advertising in this zone, we are not discussing that; there is a different problem, the problem of traffic; staff is telling you it looks like the City is going to be better off with a couple of privately constructed directional signs to handle the traffic congestion; if you don't have those signs, we are not talking about an advertisement for the sale of housing; what we are talking about are signs that we feel are appropriate to handle what we feel is going to be a traffic congestion problem; the fact that that traffic sign has the name of a housing development on it, that's just because it, the housing development, is causing the traffic; it might as well be a sporting event or sometrin,: e s3, but thG'% is g":?'t2c'w we are ;0i:1ut; we ?::G c? c.XYs about a directional sign.
