regard to continuance of an established landfill operation on a site consisting of approximately 28 acres located southerly of Flores and Fernando Streets, which operation was to be reviewed and inspected by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board and Solid Waste Management Board for compliance with. the California Water Code, after which the W.Q.C.B. imposed a cease and de- sist on the landfill operation, and the site was not to accept any wastes until requirements were established by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Mr. Gonzales advised the California Regional Water Quality Control Board will not consider issuance of a permit on the operation of the landfill site until all local agencies with jurisdiction have approved the use of the site for the intended purpose. Mr. Gonzales concluded the Planning Commission, at a meeting held October 11, 1977, approved the Conditional Use Permit application, subject to findings and two conditions - 1) immediate prohibition of the use of Fernando and Flores Streets for access to the subject property; and 2) requirement for the property owner to acquire access rights furnishing protection to the existing residential neighborhood along Fernando and Flores Streets from heavy truck traffic and associated impacts of those operations, as outlined in Planning Commission Reso- lution No. 847. (y) Councilman Rehrer asked if the Regional Water Quality Control Board has now given their approval of this operation. Mr. Gonzales answered no, they will not consider the application until approved Q by the local jurisdiction. Mr. Ralph Guyaux, applicant and owner of the site, stated this property has been used as a landfill site for sometime, before he purchased the property, and he finds it rather ironic that the Crane Company has been dumping the very same kind of materials into the County Flood Control dykes for many years. Mr. Guyaux mentioned that the Water Quality Control Board has stated these materials may be detrimental, not that they are detrimental. Councilwoman Cisneros stated she was very concerned for the residents, especially children, living on Fernando and Flores Streets, and the dangerous truck traffic being created by this operation. Mrs. Cisneros suggested that the applicant try to find an alternate route to the dump site. Mr. Guyaux stated he is in the process of working out details with Southern Pacific Railroad Company to use a portion of their right-of-way as an alternate route to the dump site. After additional discussion, moved by Councilwoman Cisneros, seconded by Council- man Rehrer, to deny Planning Commission Resolution No. 847, and refer this matter back to the Planning Commission and Staff for further review and.consideration. Unanimous vote. COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR'S REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Right -of -Way Files Community Services Director Earl Young referred to his memorandum and a letter dated May 2, 1978, from Total Concepts Corporation, requesting permission to encroach into the public right-of-way with a three foot high slumpstone and wrought iron wall, which will front an 88 -unit apartment complex, in the process of becoming condominiums under Tentative Tract No. 10280, located on the north side of Washington Street. Mr. Young advised the owners have indicated that they would include in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions that the owners would maintain and remove the wall at their cost, at such time as the City deemed it necessary. Moved by Councilwoman Cisneros, seconded by Councilman Hayes, to approve and grant permission for the encroachment of a 3 -foot high wall as requested, with the condition that the maintenance and removal, when necessary, be included in the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. Vote was unanimous. Tract Files Mr. Young requested approval of Tentative Tract No. 10280, a conversion to con- dominiums of an 88 -unit apartment complex, located on Washington Street. MAY 16 1978
