Enabling Reso- The Development Services Director outlined staff's lution for memorandum dated July 12, 1988. Option 1 would allow Development the City to enter into a development agreement anywhere Agreements in the City, while Option 2 would restrict development agreements to the Redevelopment Agency Downtown Project Area. Both proposed resolutions are similar in content and requirements. In Option 1, applicable Citywide, any development agree- ment proposed in the Redevelopment Agency Project Area would require review by the Redevelopment Agency with a recommendation to Council as to whether the proposed agreement promotes the policies and purposes of the Redevelopment Plan. In Option 2, Redevelopment Project Area only, the Redevelopment Agency's role is expanded and the Agency would review and approve the development agreement before it is acted on by Council, except in those situa- tions in which the development agreement implements an existing Redevelopment Agency -approved -negotiating agreement, development -disposition agreement, or owner - participation agreement. At the request of Mayor Hall, the Director of Develop ment Services explained the advantages of a development, agreement both for the City and property owners. Council Member Wheeler said developers realize far more benefits from development agreements than does the City. Jan Luymes, 592 Park Drive, Costa Mesa, spoke in opposi- tion to development agreements being instituted and, if authorized, would nulify the proposals made by those who have worked on the General Plan Steering Committee. It would not be fair to all those who attended and expressed their views at the numerous meetings held on the General Plan review. 1 In response to questions posed by Mayor Hall, the De- velopment Services Director stated that development agreements could not be approved which would be contrary .to the General Plan, the Zoning Code, or violate a City ordinance. Council Member Wheeler stated that he concurred with the statements,made'by Jan Luymes regarding the formulation of a new. General Plan,,and that the questions posed by Mayor Hall relate to the current General Plan. Jerry.Kline, representing The Kline Group, 33161 Camino Capistrano, San Juan Capistrano, developers of the Triangle Square Project, spoke in favor of development agreements.and addressed the advantages of them to both the City and developers.

Council Member Wheeler opposed the motion stating that it would authorize development agreements anywhere in the City which.would be beyond the scope of the requested agreement for the Downtown Redevelopment Project Area and, in his opinion, it would increase the requests in North Costa Mesa. Council Member Hornbuckle.stated she would be in favor of development agreements only within the Redevelopment Project Area itself.

Council Member Wheeler cited opposition to the Victoria Street Widening Project as the reason he will be opposing the motion. In his opinion, the costs for the project outweigh the benefits to be gained.

The motion.carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Hall, Amburgey, Hornbuckle, Buffa NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Wheeler -ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None NEW BUSINESS The Clerk presented Environmental Impact Report No. 1038 and Planning Action PA -88-40 for Kaufman and Broad of EIR 1038 and Southern California, Incorporated, 5500 East Santa Ana PA -88-40 Canyon Read, Anaheim, authorized agent for Barto/ Kaufman and Tarnutzer Venture I, 2082 Southeast Bristol Street, Broad/Barto No. 200, Santa Ana, for a Final Development Plan with an Tarnutzer open space variance, for 90 single-family hcames on an 11 -acre site at 1050 West 18th Street in a PDR -AVID zone. A petition has been received with 53 signatures from residents of the Ocean View Park development opposing the open pedestrian access between their development and the proposed 90 -home development on the Barto/Tarnutzer property to the south. Letters have also been received from the following.Costa Mesa residents expressing con- cerns,on various aspects of the project: Diane Wells, 1049 Parkhill Drive; Louise Hagan, 1885 Parkview Circle; Mary Ann Wood, -1869 Parkview Circle; Judy and Benjamin Hubbart, 1880 Parkview Circle; Betty and Larry Kraus, 1057 Parkhill Drive; Douglas Cavanaugh, The Ruby Restaur- ant Group, 1721 WAttier Avenue; Tcsm Carson, Greenleaf Park, 1750 Whittier Avenue.; and Wynette Robinson, 1053 Parkhill Drive. Also, a letter expressing concern was received from Donald E. Studer, General Counsel for Olen Properties Corporation, 17991 Cowan, Irvine. The Development Services Director presented background information contained in his memorandum dated July 14, 1988, and attachments thereto. The project site cur- rently contains 15 operating oil wells with a storage tank facility. The Director stated that the present General Plan allows for 15 units per acre, multiple - family residential. This request is for a density of 8.27 units per acre. By utilizing transparencies, the Director outlined the typography of the site and sur- rounding developments along with detailed plans for the proposed project itself. The applicants' present proposal includes the removal of all pumping equipment and active oil wells from the site, and includes capping off the oil wells below ground level. Also, the oil storage tank facility would be completely removed. To compensate for these changes, the applicant is now requesting 92 units and reconfig- uration of open space. Staff is recommending approval of this proposal unless Council desires to refer it back to the Plannning Commission for review. At the request of Council Member Wheeler, the Develop- ment Services Director provided an explanation regarding the open pedestrian access between the existing Ocean View Park development and this proposed project which was the subject of a petition of opposition frau some of the residents in the Ocean View Park development. The Development Services Director responded to questions posed by Council Member Wheeler regarding site lines. Council Member Hornbuckle was concerned about building around capped oil wells and the Development Services Director outlined their locations and none are to be under housing sites. f - Fred Talarico,.of Sanchez, Talarico and Associates, Incorporated,.550-. Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, authors:of Environmental.Impact Report (EIR) No. 1038, stated -that the capping.of oil wells would be accom- plished in accordance with the new standards set forth by the State Department of Oil and Gas and referred to in mitigation measures No. 2, 3,_ and 61 in the EIR, and he read the proposed mitigation measures. At.the.request.of Vice Mayor Anburgey, Richard Hollingsworth, 11601 Wilshire Boulevard, Ips Angeles, addressed the safety of open .oil wells versus capped oil wells. Mr. Hollingsworth stated he has met with repre- sentatives frau the Department of Oil and Gas and with a petroleum geologist regarding this particular field, the West Newport Oil Field. He said if the oil wells were capped there would be.no build up of gas pressure because oil mould still.be.drawn frau surrounding wells adjacent to .and, below the ,bluffs. . In addition, Kaufman arra Broad had a study.,performed by The Code Consortium, Incor- porated, -and -Fire -Protection Engineer Life Safety and Fire Protection Concerns Association, with regard to development of .single-family residences within a produc- ing oil well field. The results of this study which focused on possible hazards to residents within the proposed development showed,that the likelihood of leaking gas,fran a capped oil well was extremely remote. Richard Hollingsworth, Manager for Land Acquisition, Kaufman arra Broad -of .Southern California, Incorporated, presented background information. In reference to con- cerns expressed at._the_Planning..CaLUnission meeting he said that -this new -proposal would rid this property of all oil wells. Kaufman.and Broad has not addresssed the relocation of the ,oil storage -tank facility, as that responsibility lies.with the -property owner who has done preliminary work in conjunction with its relocation. Also, Mr. --Hollingsworth mentioned that three oil wells would.remain on an.adjacent property, Lot 42. Kaufman and Broad are recamnending that a condition be placed on that property which would prevent development from taking place until such time as these three oil wells are removed or capped. With regard -to -the financial cost for removing oil wells, Richard Hollingsworth stated that Kaufman and Broad are requesting a shared cost arrangement with the City for costs which are directly attributable to properties outside of,this proposed project.. He said they would build an infrastructure.to provide for offsite drainage which would take care of approximately 110 acres of waterflow, 100 acres of which,are outside their proposed project area. In addition, a Condition for -Approval in- cludes repair and restoration of 18th Street to Whittier Avenue, a total of 650 -feet. In their opinion, they should not bear all of these costs. Scott.Minami,. Land.Development Engineer, Kaufman and Broad, presented.slides and'.addressed site and pad elevations along with retaining walls .and their heights. Dr. Richard`Benson, 1857 Parkview Circle, Costa Mesa, a member of the Oceanview Haneowners Association, com- plimented Kaufman and Broad on their proposed project and thanked them for eliminating the oil wells on the development site. He.felt that this project should contain the maximum open space possible and addressed concerns with wall heights, and safety and parking problems connected with the open pedestrian and Emer- gency vehicle access. RBCESS In closing Dr. Benson stated .that he has been asked to speak'on behalf'of Jeff Grant, 1041 Parkhill Drive, who was unable to attend tonight's meeting. Mr. Grant is concerned about losing mature;trees on his property and recommended changing the height of a proposed wall. Dr. Benson stated that same'of the other homeowners are concerned about similar circumstances. Mary Warwick, 1042 West 18th Street, Costa Mesa, said 18th Street would became a thoroughfare for this project and felt another new street would be necessary to accom- modate the traffic. Donna Borkland; 1045 Parkhill Drive, Costa Mesa, thanked Kaufman and Broad°for working with the citizens in the neighborhood'. She is concerned that changing typography would effect drainage and agreed -with Dr. Benson that as much open space as possible should remain within the project. She opposes a hone which would be built 10 feet frau her property line,.and requested that construc- tion be limited to six days a week, excluding Sundays. `Ihe Mayor declared recess at 8:30 p.m., and the meeting reconvened at 8:45 p.m. Grace Speth, 1018 West 18th -Street, Costa Mesa, expres- sed concern with`increased traffic in the area as a result of this proposed project. Jim Navai, 1857. .Parkview Circle, Costa Mesa, and Wynette Robinson, 1053 Parkhill Drive, Costa Mesa, expressed concern with.the height of retaining walls proposed .around their properties. Richard Hollingsworth addressed the concerns expressed by,residents of the Oceanview Park development. Mayor Hall asked the Director of Development Services to respond to.ccmments made regarding the pedestrian access. The Director stated that the emergency access pedestrian connection referred to is an easement 20 feet wide and would be chained off or have an unlockable type of gate installed for fire equipment access. Mayor Hall asked if it would b6 possible to reconfigure the lots on the north .side of'the property to eliminate the setback of 10 feet if -the .access were eliminated. Richard Hollingsworth responded that one of the hones in the proposed tract could be relocated if the pedestrian access were eliminated.' Scott Minami responded.to questions posed by Mayor Hall regarding drainage plans and limiting construction to six days per week with no construction on Sundays, and he explained grade differentials relating to Jim Navai's home. .Richard Hollingsworth addressed retaining walls and adjustments that could be made. In reply to a question posed by Council Member Wheeler, the`_ Development Services Director stated that the Condition of.Approval addressing retaining walls could Abe modified.' Kevin Kirk, Vice President of Development and Engineer- ing, Kaufman and Broad, addressed lot line adjustments and setbacks and stated they are willing to give three feet of property to adjacent,property owners. He then outlined .the manner in which he felt this would be most appropriately accomplished. Robert Hollingsworth responded to a question posed by Council Member Wheeler regarding guest parking. Kevin Kirk stated that if driveways and sidewalks were included as open space, this.project would exceed the 45 percent,open space,requirenents, but as a result of the PDR -MD zoning on -the property, this space cannot be calculated as open space,,nor can credit for driveway parking be given. Mayor Hall asked if the developers were agreeable to all conditions and mitigations measures. Scott Minami re- sponded that itis their desire to defer this decision to the Planning Carr ission meeting when the actual vesting.,of..the.-Tentative Tract,Map will be resubmitted. Vice Mayor Amburgey said he would have to give serious consideration to elimination of the proposed emergency vehicle access. .He objects,to the developer giving up three feet of property.to build a retaining wall, and said if the property owners in Oceanview Park desire a lower wall, the developer could build planter type structures on their properties., He said work on Sundays might.be.necessary for the project to stay on schedule. Council Member Wheeler disagreed with the comments made by Vice Mayor Amburgey arid.felt that the cooperation between the developer and surrounding haneowners has been commendable and that it was the developer that suggested granting three feet of property to adjacent property .,owners.. Council Member Buffa stated that if one unit were eliminated at the north end of .the property, sane of the Conditions for Approval could be removed. Kevin Kirk said their request for two additional units does not make up for the reductions they have had to make in connection with the elimination of oil wells. He opposed any further.decreases'but'stated that they could raise the balconies on.the two hanes in question so that the line -of -sight would be directed away from the rear yards of the neighbors.

Vice Mayor hmburgey addressed the recommendations made by'Mr. Hollingsworth regarding their request for addi- tional conditions regarding the City sharing in a portion of the costs for reconstruction of 18th Street and flood control'improvements. The Director of Development Services explained that Kaufman and Broad, by letter to staff dated July 15, 1988, recommended a shared arrange- ment to pay for the flood control improvements and a portion of the reconstruction of 18th Street. He said this is not mentioned in the Staff Report due to the date on which it was received and is not on the agenda.
