OTHER BUSINESS
DOWNTOWN HOLIDAY PARKING PROGRAM (20.34)
Assistant Town Manager/Executive Director, Jim Piper, gave an update on the status of the 17 items
that were considered for implementation in the Downtown Holiday Parking Program this year. He
asked that three particular items receive additional discussion this evening: Resurfacing of Lots 1 &
2; Parking on University Ave. and in Almond Grove; and Advertising on the shuttle .
The following people spoke to the issue:
Phil Micciche, St. Mary’s representative, 220 Alexander Ave, suggested alternative parking at St.
Mary’s during the holiday season, including employee parking in the Church school yard, evenings,
from 4 p.m. to mid-night. Town would have to review the suggestions with the Church and the
timing to implement for the season may not work this year.
Larry Edgar, 221 University, opposed any lifting of the 24 hour parking restriction in the Edelen
District noting the problems for residents parking on University Avenue.
Tom Boyce, 134 Wilder Ave, spoke of the additional impact on the Almond Grove streets that have
not been included in the Preferential Parking District. Asked that this program be measured and
analyzed as to use of the services provided. Asked that the parking map include the downtown
commercial parking areas and not point out the residential streets in the preferential zones; That the
parking ambassadors not point out the residential neighborhoods, noting that some employees could
make use of the spaces, but he did not want the residential neighborhoods to be pointed out as town
parking lots.
Sallie Robbins-Druian, 32 East Main Street, The French Cellar, asked for additional stop signs on
University Ave, and for allowing general parking in the neighborhoods between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
She asked that Council agendize some neighborhood meetings with business owners and residents
after the holiday season to attempt to unify the two factions.
Rex Morton, 51 University Ave, Parking Commissioner, commended the proposal but feels that it is
still lacking and should have had much more to offer given the year between now and last year. He
felt that the employee survey should have been completed by this time.

DOWNTOWN PARKING PROGRAM CONT.
Speakers continued:
Bill Errico, 236 University Ave, he spoke of greatly increased traffic on University, the
intensification of speeding, the confusion of construction vehicles due to four large projects in the
vicinity, and the narrowness of University (40 feet) compared to North Santa Cruz (45 feet). With the
narrower street it is impossible to back out of the residential driveways and see past parked cars up
and down University. The safety issue is the main concern for those living on this street. Asked for
the continued restrictive parking for residents. He asked for the open parking hours to be between 9
a.m. and 6 p.m. ad that the street sweeper come by before 9 a.m.
Maureen Heath, 250 University Ave, spoke of the difficulty in backing out of her driveway on the
busy University Ave. and she requested stop signs be installed due to the safety problems pedestrians
have of crossing this street as cars speed by.
No one else from the audience spoke to the issue.
Council/Agency consensus to accept the status report on the downtown holiday parking program
noting the specific items as follows: Accept the resurfacing plan for parking lots 1 & 2; Proceed
with the revised Shuttle Service Plan with the ability to modify if needed; Two hour parking limit on
portions of Tait and Wilder and University Ave. within the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. but
without using any advertising or noticing to the general public; Installation of stop signs on
University and Royce; Advertising on shuttle van to support the local merchants and offset the
Town’s costs; To consider University a high priority traffic control area during the season and assign
additional motorcycle patrols and speed trailers; to ensure that proper signage is installed to direct
people to the appropriate parking; and to review Mr.Micciche’s suggestions to make use of the St.
Mary’s parking lots for town employees at night. Mr. Blanton noted he was still opposed to funding
the shuttle service.
APPOINTMENT OF TOWN MANAGER/RESOLUTION 2000-127 (21.29)
Mayor Blanton noted that this was the time and place so noted to discuss appointment of Town
Manager and adoption of resolution approving agreement.
Ray Davis, resident, welcomed our new Town Manager, Debra Figone, and thanked our departing

Motion by Mrs. Lubeck, seconded by Mr. Pirzynski, that Council adopt Resolution 2000-127

appeal of the decision of the Planning Commission approving the construction of a new single family

Property Location: 65. College Avenue. Property Owner: Lee Qualls. Applicant: Todd and Marlene

COLLEGE AVENUE 65/FAMILY RESIDENTIAL CONT.
Council and Staff discussion: After some discussion it was noted that the reports needed for
Council to ever consider this a build able lot were a geotechnical report, sufficient drainage plans, a
peer review before final plan approval, engineer’s reports checked by Town approved review panel --
and staff repeated that nothing would be approved that was considered unsafe.
Todd Johnson, applicant, 85 College, requested a continuance.
Motion by Mr Attaway, to grant the continuance. Motion was tabled.
The following people from the audience addressed this issue:
Christopher Farmer, 59 College Ave, appellant, asked that the record show that neither he nor Ms
Wilcox nor their agents have ever threatened legal action against the Johnsons at any time. He spoke
again of the problems involved in the development plans for this lot. He mentioned again the steep
slopes, poorly drained slopes, slopes prone to slippage and a lot situated in a potential fault area. The
report before Council tonight makes these points a reality. He asked Council to uphold the appeal.
Todd Johnson, 85 College Avenue, asked again for this item to be continued. He had just received
the new geo-technical report and asked for sufficient time to review it and work with his architect.
Gail Nishimura, 81 College Ave., allowed that she had given her support at the last meeting with the
understanding that the soils report was accurate. With the new report being offered, she would like
more time for review and study of the issue. She noted that her home insurance did not cover soil
movement.
Ray Davis, resident, spoke of the need for peer review by the Town in advance of any project
approval.
Chris Bevis, 81 College Ave, lives below the proposal, and had removed his objections based on the
preliminary soils and geo-technical report. Having read the new report, he is reaffirming his
objections to the development, until these grave concerns are addressed.
John Lien, College Ave, spoke of the report which is to be used by a structural engineer to determine
how much steel is needed in the foundation; how large the foundations need to be; how much earth
movement needs to be resisted in structural components. This report has nothing to do with the
design of the structure. Planning review and approval process is independent of the geologic study.
This technical study affects the structural composition and not the architectural design work.
No one else from the audience spoke to this issue.
Motion by Mr. Attaway, seconded by Mr. Pirzynski, to close the public hearing. Carried
unanimously.
Motion by Mrs. Lubeck, seconded by Mr. Pirzynski, that Council remand this project to the Design
Review Committee. (Mr. Attaway believes that there is a great deal of differing opinions among the
experts regarding these reports and he would grant a continuance. Mr. Blanton believes that the
applicants have done all that has been requested of them, and they should not be jeopardized by
having to return to the beginning of the process. He favors a continuance.) Maker of the motion
withdraws the motion.
Motion by Mrs. Lubeck, seconded by Mr. Attaway, to continue this matter to January 2, 2001.
Carried by a vote of 4 ayes. Mr. Hutchins absent.

BELMONT 215/RESIDENTIAL/S-00-53/APPEAL (23.15)
Mayor Blanton announced that this was the time and place so noted for public hearing to consider an
appeal of the decision of the Planning Commission to approve an unlawful demolition and the
reconstruction of a single family residence with a second story which projects into the required
setbacks and the addition to a detached garage which exceeds 450 square feet in area on a
nonconforming property zoned R-1:8. Architecture and Site Application S-00-53. Property Location:
215 Belmont. Property Owner\Appellant: Don and Dana Langley. Applicant: E. Gary Schloh.
Mr. Attaway will be abstaining due to a possible appearance of a conflict of interest on this matter.
The following people spoke to this issue:
Don Langley, appellant, asked for a full Council for decision and continuance to November 6, 2000.
He understands that one Councilmember has abstained from the issue and will not be voting.
Ray Davis, resident, questioned the review of the appeal sites by the councilmembers.
Eric Raff, 211 Belmont Ave., would like to see the house finished and completed, and he believes
Plan C was the one before Planning that was approved. He noted changes on the plans that were
happening in the building permitting process and not in the public meeting process.
No one else spoke to the issue.
Motion by Mrs. Lubeck, seconded by Mr. Pirzynski, to continue this item to November 6, 2000.
Carried by a vote of 4 ayes. Mr. Hutchins absent.
FRANCIS OAKS WAY/RESIDENTIAL/PRJ-98-113/APPEAL (24.15)
Mayor Blanton announced that this was the time and place so noted for public hearing to consider an
appeal of the decision of the Planning Commission denying an Architecture and Site application to
construct a new single family residence on property zoned HR-2 Prj-98-113. Property location:
15500 Francis Oaks Way. Property owner: Mike Moffat. Applicant / appellant: T.H.I.S. Design.
The following people from the audience addressed this issue:
Tony Jeans, introduced owner.
Mike Moffat, 15500 Francis Oaks Way, spoke of the project and the work involved working with the
neighbors concerns. Asked Council for approval.
Jolie Houston, Berliner Cohen, representing the owner, spoke of the complete approval by Planning
Commission except for 6 conditions. She noted that all they were appealing was the removal of
Condition #6. She also noted that the approved project should not be denied on the legal retention of
the possible option of a subdivision.
Tony Jeans, 170 Stacia, T.H.I.S. Design, he explained that this project has gone through five designs
so far. He spoke of working with the neighbors and the dimensions of the lot.
Diane McLaughlin, 15626 Francis Oaks Way, spoke of the history of proposed development on this
lot. She noted that the current plans for the home had been approved if the parcel remained its
present size. By the owners not agreeing to the restriction on the subdivision, the Planning
Commission wanted a smaller proposal for the home.

the area. He spoke of the potential for eight new houses in this neighborhood and the impact of
traffic on the road and the potential for fire hazard in the area. He noted that the house will be larger
than any other neighborhood home and that it will sit right on the road causing a substantial impact.
Gary Harwin, 15423 Francis Oaks Way, spoke strongly in favor of this proposal being approved.
David Weissman, Francis Oaks Way, asked for raparian protection within this hillside property under
the Town’s Hillside Plan.
Ray Davis, resident, believes the project should be denied due to size and traffic safety issues.
Jolie Houston, reiterated that the subdivision concern was not an issue at this time. If it was ever a
concern, it would have to come forward on a complete hearing of its own.
No one else addressed this issue at this time.
Motion by Mr. Pirzynski, seconded by Mrs. Lubeck, to close the public hearing. Carried by a vote
of 4 ayes. Mr. Hutchins absent.
Motion by Mrs. Lubeck, seconded by Mr. Blanton, to grant the appeal and approve the Architecture
and Site Application PRJ-98-113 with the conditions that are shown in Exhibit “O” to Attachment “3"
and an added condition that “the fencing shall be limited and reduced to along the Francis Oaks
footage only, and that any other fencing on the site be of an open design, in keeping with our current
design standards in the hillside.” That the story poles be placed in the current location to delineate
the model that is before us tonight. That the model that we see is going to be the house that is built.
That the model be called Exhibit XX and be kept for reference and that Findings required by Section
29.20.150 of the Town Code for Architecture and Site Applications be part of the motion as follows:
That the Council has considered all relevant matters including considerations relating to traffic safety
and traffic congestion; limitations of landscaping; discussions relating to site layout; considerations

LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT BLOCK GRANT/HEARING (25.36)

authorizing the Town Manager to accept $10,325 awarded by the Bureau of Justice assistance for
local law enforcement block grant and authorizing the use of local law enforcement block grant funds
to purchase a comuputerized robot for youth education and safety programs; or authorize the Town

of 4 ayes. Mr. Hutchins absent.
Council Consensus to accept the block grant and return the report to staff for further review.

more than the grant. The traffic control radar trailers were discussed as being extremely effective,
and were suggested as a viable use for the block grant funding.
FISCAL YEAR 1999-00 YEAR END REPORT (08.09)
Motion by Mrs. Lubeck, seconded by Mr. Pirzynski, to accept the Fiscal Year 1999-00 Year End
Report; bring the Manager’s Contingency Fund to $100,000; and leave the rest of the surplus funds
