Moved by Hollingsworth, seconded by Allen, it be referred to the City Mana- ger. Carried, all the Council present voting aye, 10/14/58 142 REPORT FROM THE TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE was read recommending that a. system of bumper to bumper parking on the east half of the 300 block on 8th Street (south side) be installed according to the drection of the Engineering Department. This is to maintain the number of park- ing stalls in this area and also to allow additional red curb adjacent to the intersection. COUNCILMAN FESSMAN asked what the Committee meant by bumper to bumper parking. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated this is the recommendation of the Traffic Safety Committee in relation to trying out of a new method of parallel parking; it is called bumper to bumper parking but there is six feet between spaces which allows adequate freeboard. Under the present situation we have 22 feet set aside for parking. This will cut the parking down to 18 feet which the car actually uses allowing between each two spaces 12 feet, or 6 foot maneuver ability. It is something the Committee wishes to try out. COUNCILMAN FESSMAN stated the people are supposed to park with- in the lines designated for parking,but if under this parallel parking if someone does not park in the right spot it will either take up two places or ruin the chances for another motorist to get out, and asked if there is anything in our traffic ordinance to make it unlawful not to park in the allocated space on the street. Moved by Allen, we accept the recommendation of the Traffic Safety Committee for this trial period for 120 days. COUNCILMAN FESSMAN asked if it would not take an ordinance to enforce thi:;,. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated it would take an ordinance.. There is no Irovision in the ordinance requiring that a motorist park within alloted spaces, and that should be placed in the ordinance. COUNCILMAN ALLEN withdrew his motion. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated the Traffic Safety Committee is in the process of bring- ing before the Council a number of recommendations, particularly on ruck route and on the parking between the hours of 4:00 A.M. and 6:00 A.M. It is going to necessitate, if Council follows the recom- mendation, a. change in the ordinance; there are a number of things which were in the original ordinance, which the traffic safety ordi- nance omitted when it was adopted which should be in the ordinance; one the question of parking in the designated parking spots, the other is running over fire hose which was deleted from the ordinance. Mr. Bird recommended we try the recommendation out for 120 days, at the spot designated, this new method of parking and if it is successful then the ordinance can be amended to cover all the items he mentioned, Moved by Fessman, seconded by Allen, the recommendation of the City Manager be followed. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. REPORT FROM THE TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE recommended a double white li#e be placed on Division Street east of El Toyon School as indica- ted by the Engineering and Police Departments studies. Moved by Allen, the recommendation of the Traffic Safety Committee be approved. COUNCILMAN FESSMAN stated he did not believe matters such as the placing of the white line need to come before the Council for action, it should be referred to the proper authority, probably the City Manager, for execution. 0bvisouly the white line is necessary there and should not be a matter for Council to approve or disapprove of, it can be taken care of by the staff. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated the 10/14/58 143 traffic ordinance specifically requires that when the Traffic Commit- tee, on matters such as this which is before the Council, if they approve it, it is then mandatory on the City Manager to see that it is carried out, it does not require an action of City Council. Motion died for lack of a second. Moved by Allen, seconded by Hollingsworth, the recommendation be approved. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. REPORT FROM THE TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE was read recommending a stop sign be erected on Plaza Boulevard facing west bound traffic east of "L" Avenue. Moved by Hollingsworth, seconded by Allen, the Traffic Safety Committee's recommendation be approved. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. COUNCILMAN FESSMAN stated he has heard several complaints in regard to speeding on 18th Street from Highland a-,.=aue east. It seems the Polioe Department has gone out there severel times and over a period of seven, eight days, or longer and have priced the area, and as soon as they are not there the speeding starts up again, and some of the citizens have requested this matter be presented. Another thing that might be investigated is the need for a street light, and it should be a bright one, at the corner of 28th Street and Highland, because there is a pedestrian zone and the people going to the adult eduoation classes at the school and crossing in that pedestrian zone cannot be seen by the drivers as it is in total darkness. Moved by Fessman, seconded by Hart, this be referred to the City Manager. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. COUNCILMAN HART stated in regard to the speeding on 18th Street, there is also a lot of speeding on a number of the sides streets, and if we hired a police- man, and the cost of his oar, the revenue taken in for catching the speeders would pay for it. The police department do not have enough men to do the work, COUNCILMAN ALLEN stated there is no motorcycle officer on duty between 2:00 and 6:00 A.M. and anyone interested can stand anywhere on 16th Street from National to Highland Avenue, par- ticularly at I'D" Avenue and can watch the cars leaving the drive-in going east on-16th Street, and he believed there could be thirty tickets written in the hour between 2:00 and 3:00 A.M. Moved by Hart, seconded by Allen, this be referred to the City Manager and to the Traffic Safety Committee and to the Finance Committee for study. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. DAVID THOMPSON, representing the San Diego County Traffic Safety Council and the National Safety Council was present for the purpose of presenting an award to National City for its activities and accom- plishments in the field of traffic safety. The award, which was a certificate of achievement, was presented to Mayor Hodge for a record of no traffic deaths and for traf f ice safety activities for 1957. HEARING ON HIGHLAND AVENUE 1911 ACT was held at this time for im- provement of Highland Avenue from 8th Street to 18th Street. Two written protests were read, from J. Gerald Hoehn and Florence Beery. CECIL F. ALLEN, 1504 Highland Avenue, was present and orally protest- ed the 1911 Act on Highland Avenue, CLAUDE L. HART, 1343 Highland Avenue, was present and orally protested the proposed improvement. EDMOND E. LACASSE, 2021 Highland Avenue, was present and stated he 10/14/58 144 was in favor of the improvement, and suggested the trees be taken out now on Highland Avenue from 18th to 30th Street in anticipation of improving the entire Avenue, CITY CLERK AL„TON asked the City Attor- ney if oral protests counted in this hearing, ATTORNEY CURRAN stated he did not have that particular code section in mind, however, the Engineer is making a computation so we will know whether or not there has been sufficient percentage. Moved by Fessman, seconded by Hol- lingsworth, the hearing be closed, and the City Engineer be instruc- ted to compute the percentage and bring it up under his report. Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Fessman, Hart, Holling- sworth, Hodge. Nays: Allen. ATTORNEY CURRAN stated at the last meeting there was referred to him a petition requesting the City Council to take certain requested aotion with reference to Ordinance No, 750. Examination of the Ordi- nance reveals that for the most part the matters which are requested to be done would require that Ordinance No. 750 be amended. In order to amend the Ordinance it is therefore the Attorney's recommendation the petition be referrred to the Planning Commission. Moved by Hart, seoonded by Alien, the recommendation of the City Attorney be approv- ed. Carried, all the Council present voting aye, ATTORNEY CURRAN stated there are several certificates of insurance which are in proper form and which he recommended be approved and filed, they are as follows: State Compensation Insurance Fund certi- ficate showing that Pace Construction Co. has the statutory Workmen's Compensation Insurance coverage; the Aetna Casualty and Surety Com- pany Certificate of Insurance shows that K.E.C. Company has a policy effective and for the limits required by its contract; Certificate of Insurance of W.B. Brandt & Co., Inc., and Syre & Toso, Inc., that K. E. C. Company has property damage insurance; Swett & Crawford Certificate of Insurance shows that Dan E. Pace and Willis H. Pace, co-partners, have property damage insurance; Pacific Indemnity Com- pany Certificate shows that Griffith Company has bodily injury and property damage insurance; Swett & Crawford Certificate shows that Griffith Company has bodily injury and property insurance in excess limits, Moved by Fessman,seconded by Hart, the recommendation of the City Attorney be followed. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. CITY ATTORNEY CURRAN stated there was referred to him a communication from the Chief Administrative Officer of the City of Chula Vista which attached a copy of a proposed agreement for the erection of certain improvements in order to develop the tidelands. Mr, Curran stated he has conferred with the City Attorney of Chula Vista and both City Attorneys agree the proposed agreement is not proper, that the cities should not be attempting to turn over end delegate to the Santa Fe Railway Company the right to let this project out for bids. The present thinking of the City Attorney is that each City should set up its own contract and call for bids at the same time the Santa Fe does so that on the same day there would be three bids for three 10/14/58 145 separate contracts submitted by the contractor so any bidder could consider it a unit project. It is expected we will hear more on this problem from the City of Chula Vista. VINCENT DE LUCIA, 1930 Granger Avenue, was present and stated he wished to come before the Council today in relation to some very interesting experiences last evening at the meeting of the Planning Commission. The meeting was very informative, and he was very much surprised of what is expected of the Commissioners, and it seems there is too much of a burden placed upon them by asking them to violate the laws that are on the books for the purpose of granting certain privileges. If we do not enforce the law we have nothing. If the law is not any good then we should change it. There should be some restrictions on these things that are being taken up, and every time something like this is granted and someone else makes a similar re— quest you cannot deny them because you have set a precedent. Mr. De Lucia commended the police department, and said he talked with some of the officers in Chula Vista and National City and found out our department is actually understaffed, and thought it would do no harm to increase the staff and give us more protection from speeders and traffic violations. COUNCILMAN HART stated that the Planning Commissions of Chula Vista, etc. have the same problems as we do. EDMOND LA.CASSE, was present and stated on Highland Avenue there is a place that used to sell feed and things of that kind, now it is a factory, used for building cabinets, etc. The people in back of the place are complaining about the noise caused by sawing and planing. COMMUNICATION FROM HELIX IRRIGATION DISTRICT was read stating the quarterly meeting of the Irrigation Districts Officers Association of San Diego Council will be held Wednesday, Ootorer 22nd, at the Twin Inns in Carlsbad. CITY CLERK ALSTON presented the Affidavit of Publication of Notice of Award of Contract to R. E. Hazard for the improvement of 20th Street i'AI' and 4Bii Avenues. Moved by Hollingsworth, seconded by Hart, the Affidavit be approved and filed. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. CITY CLERK ALSTON stated this morning she received the report of the meeting of the Small Craft Harbor Commission in Santa Cruz, August 28th, and recommended it be referred to the City Attorney to check to see if there is anything of importance to the City in the report. Moved by Fessman, seconded by Hart, the City Clerk's recommendation be followed. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. COMMUNICATION FROM DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS was read relative to the request that a sign reading RSan Diego°' be placed at the intersection of U.S. Highway 395 and 6. This signing policy will not permit the Division of Highways to designate more than three destinations ahead. on the route you are traveling and this route has three. Inyokern, Johannesburg, and San Bernardino where other State Highways connect with U. S. Highway 395. 10/14/58 146 CITY ENGINEER LILL reported in regard to the hearing on Highland Avenue there was less than three percent written protests and less than three percent oral protests, the total protests were less than five percent. Moved by Fessman, seconded by Hollingsworth, the next step in the 1911 Act be taken, and the resolution prepared. Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Fessman, Hollingsworth, Hodge. Nays: Allen, Hart. CITY ENGINEER LILL stated we received a petition for the improvement of 7th Street westerly from Palm Avenue, for grading, curbs and pave- ment, and was signed by persons interested in 63% of the frontage and 61% of the area. of the property within the district proposed to be assessed for the improvement. It was recommended the project be authorized. Moved by Fessman, seconded by Hollingsworth, the City Engineer's recommendation be approved. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. CITY ENGINEER LILL reported work has started an the Granger Avenue Storm Drain and is about to start on the "Bo Avenue Storm Drain. COMMUNICATION FROM AMERICAN NATIONAL RED CROSS, National City Branch, was read stating they have been asked by the San Diego Chapter, Ameri- can Red Cross, to establish a control and reception center in National. City for their local chapter. The local chapter is of the opinion the ideal setup would be the use of the Community Building since it is more centrally located and has the added advantage of being near the police and fire departments, and request permission to setup & con- trol and reception center at the Community Building should the need ever arise. CITY MANAGER BIRD recommended this be referred to the Manager and the Supt. of Parks, who is in charge of the Community Building, for further information and a report to the City Council. Moved by Hart, seconded by Fessman, the City Manager's recommendation be approved. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated with reference to the petition relative to Eeters Home and Garden Center, of which a partial report was made at the last meeting, he now has the additional part of the report, the pictures which were taken by the official photographer of the City and an additional report from the Planning Department. REPORT FROM CITY PLANNER STOCKMAN AND ASS'T. BUILDING INSPECTOR BURNS was read relative to the land use at 221 Highland Avenue, Peters Home & Garden Center* In measuring the property it was found that Peters Hane & Garden Center is occupying the area 160 feet east of Highland Avenue which would indicate an encroachment into the R-4, Multiple Residence District of 35 feet. Upon checking the footage on 2nd Street it was established that the sacks of manure are stored within the commercial zoning. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated this is in addition to the report by the Health Dept. which was submitted last week. MAUDE R. BIDDIS(1N6 840 E. 2nd Street, was present and stated the odor caused by the sacks of manure were very objectionable, and that a number of other resi- dents in the area have also complained about the condition. COUNCIL- MAN FESS+;AN asked the City Attorney what the City would be able to 10/14/58 147 do in the matter, obviously the law is not being broken, and asked if the property owners affected in the area have a right to a civil suit against the business; would it or would it not implicate the City. CITY ATTORNEY CURRAN stated if there is not any violation of any law then the City has no official interest in the matter, and the matter is simply between the property owners and if the neigh- bors complain against neighbors as to the use of the neighbor's property, it is incumbent upon them to have the court determine whether or not their rights have been violated; that is strictly a private matter between neighbors and not something in which the City, as such, has an interest. COUNCILMAN ALLEN stated thereis an en- croachment into an R-4 Zone, and asked what could be done in this regard. MAYOR HODGE suggested it be referred to the City Manager and Police Dept. Moved by Allen, seconded by Hart, the matter of the encroachment be referred to the Police Department and City Manager for a report. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. COMMUNICATION FROM CHIEF OF POLICE SMITH was read stating in review- ing the Annual Inventory of Traffic Safety activities for the year 1957 submitted by the National Safety Council, National City's per- formance rating advanced from 20% in 1956 to 67% in 1957. In the progress report a number of recommendations were made by the Presi- dent's Highway Safety Conference on items where improvement might be made for a more efficient enforcement program. In studying the recommendations, it is to be noted that the number one item was a suggestion that a substantial increase in total police strength be considered. The measure and source of police strength, as recom- mended by this survey is 57 men. During 1957 your Police Dept. operated with 37 police officers. In view of the recommendations submitted, it is believed advisable to set up a traffic division within the Police Dept, at the earliest possible moment. However, it is felt a survey should be made with the Civil Service Commission to determine the present status of the three motorcycle officers who are now in a separate classification. In forming this division it must be remembered that additional police officers will be needed in the fiscal year 1959-60, and serious consideration should be given to the request that will be forthcoming in the next budget for addit- ional personnel. Until such a time as the status of the three motor- cycle officers is clarified, it is recommended that Sergeant Hunter be temporarily placed in command of this division, in addition to his present duties. CITY MANAGER BIRD said it is his recommendation that a traffic division within the Police Department be created; that we ask of the Civil Service Commission to cane up with the recom- mendation as to classification; and also ask the City Attorney to answer questions one and two which is in Chief's communication. If Council is in accord of creating the framework of a traffic division, as recommended, we will assign, on a temporary basis, the officer as requested by the Chief of Police, until such a time as we can get the rulings from the Civil Service Commission. Moved by Hart, seconded by Hollingsworth, the City Manager's request be granted. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. COUNCILMAN ALLEN stated it is his opinion that in this field if we were to ask for a Sergeant for the traffic division, the Civil Service Commission would have to submit the first three names on the Sergeant's list of men who were 10/14/58 148 fully qualified in traffic, if they had passed the examination for police sergeant, they would still be rated as such, but if you had to have a specialist, you would then have to take the names of the first three men on the sergeants list that has that particular spec- iality of qualification. Mr. Allen said he did not know whether that is in accord with the Civil Service Commission we now have, or whether there is something in our ordinance that objects, but in the Federal Civil Service that ruling does prevail. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated he has a resolution which is necessary under our present California plan of Civilian Defense, it has been checked by the City Attorney, and recommended its adoption. RESOLUTION NO. 7330 was read, stating certain conditions are imposed by the Federal Civil Defense Administration, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, the California Disaster Office, and the Surplus Property Division of the State Department of Education in connection with the acquisition of such property; and the City of National City desires to become eligible to acquire such property; and that James A. Bird, City Manager and/or Cleo Osburn,Administrative Assistant are authorized as the representative of the City to sign for and accept surplus Federal property in accordance with the conditions imposed by the above agencies. Moved by Hart, seconded by Allen, the Resolution be adolted. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated in regard to the report from the City At- torney regarding the contract proposal with the Santa Fe Railway and jointly with the City of Chula Vista, wherein the Attorney for our City in concurrence with the City Attorney of Chula Vista, has ruled it would be necessary for the City to advertise for its own contract for such as that we propose, which is the diking of our bulkhead line south in the Paradise Creek. Mr. Bird said he would like to recommend for the Councilos recommendation specifically that the City Engineer be authorized to draw the plans and specifications which are necessary for said diking, and to call for bids for said work syn- chronizing same with the action of the City of Chula Vista and the Santa Fe Railway Company. Mr. Bird said his reason for this is one which he can only refer to at the present time. We are in a position whereby within a relative short period of time there will be spoil available to fill up our 42 acres on the south side of the Paradise Creek. Originally in discussion with the Santa Fe Railway Engineer and the City of Chula Vista, at which our Harbor Committee chairman was present, the estimated cost of this work under the proposed plan would have been for our share of it approximately $5,000.00. We are going to have an enbankment there, and we are going to have to have it there within the next nine months if we wish to participate, and this has nothing to do with the Governmental dredging. Moved by Hart, seconded by Fessman, the recommendation of the City Manager be fol- lowed. COUNCILaN FESSMAN and ALEN questioned the possibility that each of the three bids may be different. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated there is another condition which might prevail; a bid for National City and we have a bid simultaneously for Chula Vista and also for Santa Fe. The bid is not acceptable to Santa Fe and not acceptable 10/14/58 149 to Chula Vista. Mr. Bird said we must have this work done within the next nine months, and we may have to pay a higher price because we only have approximately 17% of the job. Motion carried, all the Council present voting aye. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated there has been, if the Council approves, a tentative meeting set for October 16th at 3:30 P.M. to meet with the Highway Transportation Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, also Mr. Dekema of the Highway Dept. for the purpose of presenting to the City of National City the ingresses and egresses on the proposed cross town freeway. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated the meeting would be held in the Library Conference Roan, and he will attempt to arrange the meeting and will notify all of the members. COUNCILMAN ALLEN asked the City Manager where we are going to have a pistol range. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated in this relation, he wanted a Harbor Committee meeting because it is going to have of necessity to be located; also we have three applications and the question of the Heflin, Caldwell lease transfer which must be resolved one way or the other. COUNCILMAN FESSMAN stated in regard to the Heflin, Cald- well transfer, he would like to request the City Manager to ask both parties to get a meeting of minds at least, so they can present their problems to the committee and it will not waste the committee's time. The meeting was set for 2:00 P.M., October 16th in the City Manager's office. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated we have set up in the Building Department and Engineering Department, with the aid of Planning, s,mething which we hope will alleviate a lot of criticism, also will put the respect- ive builders in a position of knowing the existing codes and laws which pertain to side yard set backs, drainage, off street parking, etc. This is now in use in the Building Department, and is a "must by anyone making an application for a building permit. COUNCILMAN FESSMAN stated it seems to him that the interpretation of Ordinance 750 is not clear, but he would assume that a parcel of property in a R-1 zone would permit one dwelling on that parcel of property, it would not matter whether the parcel is 5,000 or 50,000 square feet. From the discussions on lots splits, etc. it seems it is the thinking of many that you can build a house on every 5,000 square feet of prop- erty, Our ordinance does not spell it out, and thought it should; the amendments that were proposed and suggested by the City Attorney earlier should clarify it so a R-1 zone is for one dwelling no matter how large the parcel as long as it is 5,000 square feet minimum. Moved by Fessman, seconded by Allen, the provision, as mentioned above, be part of the amendment to Ordinance 750, Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Allen, Fessman, Hollingsworth. Nays: Hart, Hodge. REPORT FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION was read regarding Application for Conditional Exception No. 624 signed by Josephone C. Emrick rel- ative to the property located at 1012 E. 8th Street. Petitioner is requesting permission to use said property, located in an R-4, Mult- iple Residence District, for the purpose of a doctor's office and 10/14/58 150 said usage be transferrable with sale of same within the next 90 days. It was the recommendation of the Commission the request be granted. COUNCILWOMAN HOLLINGS UORTH asked the City Planner about parking area. CITY PLANNER STOCKMAN stated there was considerable discussion held in this regard. At the present time there will be off street park- ing for two ears, however, he will provide additional parking in the rear of the lot. Moved by Hollingsworth, seconded by Allen, the Council follow the recommendation of the Planning Commission and grant the variance. Carried, by the following vote to wit: Ayes: Allen, Fessman, Hart, Hollingsworth, Hodge. Nays: None. CITY CLERK ALSTON stated she wished to call the Gounci1 s attention to the fact that the meeting of October 28th is during the week of the League Conference; it is not known whether or not we will have a quorum; the first meeting in November will be the 4th which is elect- ion day,and a legal holiday; the second meeting in November is the llth which is Veterans Day and a legal holiday. If we do not have a quorum an the 28th of October there will be three weeks between Council meetings, and if Council does not want that much time be- tween Council meetings, we will have to make a request for the Court room far in advance. Moved by Hollingsworth, seconded by Hart, the City Clerk be authorized to contact Judge Harbison and find out the day he might be able to allow us the Court room, preferably Nov. 5th, because of payroll and payment of bills. MAYOR HODGE suggested we either have the meeting Monday, Nov. 3rd, or Wednesday, Nov. 5th, and if we cannot have it in the Court room we have it in the Library Conference Room, Carried, all the Council present voting aye.
