PUBLIC HEARING - TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 82-1001 - HELLMAN PROPERTY
DEVELOPMENT
Mayor Laszlo declared the public hearing open to consider proposed
Tentative Parcel Map Number 82-1001 for the division of the Hellman
Specific Plan area into parks, streets and lots. The City Clerk
I
certified that notices had been published and mailed as required by
law and that no communications had been received either for or against
this matter. The Associate Planner presented the staff report, stated
the Tentative Parcel Map delineated the two park areas for transfer to
the City, First Street and "U" Street rights-of-way for dedication to
the City, designates the oil easements and provides a method to
purchase residential parcels in block from the Hellman Estate. Mr.
Antos reported that the Tentative Parcel Map had been reviewed by all
affected City departments, that conditions had been developed that
address all areas of concern of those departments, insures dedication
of road rights-of-way, implements mitigating measures suggested by
Southern California Edison Company and the Orange County Sanitation
I
District, and as conditioned Tentative Parcel Map No. 82-1001 complies
with the Specific Plan, the City's General Plan and the Redevelopment
Agency Plan. The Associate Planner reported actions taken by the
Planning Commission and their recommendations to the City Council.
It was noted a revised Resolution had been provided the Council prior
to the meeting. Mayor Laszlo invited members of the audience wishing
to speak to this item to come to the microphone and state his/her
name for the record. Mr. D. Munsell, Director of Planning for
Ponderosa Homes, stated that the Conditions of Approval as set forth
had been reviewed and agreed to by Ponderosa Homes. There were no
other communications from the audience; Mayor Laszlo declared the
public hearing closed. Councilman Seitz referred to the liquafaction
I
problem and possible liability of the City if not satisfactorily
resolved. The Assistant City Attorney stated the Environmental
Impact Report set forth liquafaction mitigating measures and that
approval of the Parcel Map did not subject the City to any liability.
Councilman Seitz referred to the Southern California Edison Company
communication referenced in Condition 4, stated the Parcel Map did
2-22-82
not clarify the impact of any exchange of land on the City parksite
or of the transmission lines proposed to be located in the park area
and inquired as to any limitation of park area recreation facilities
due to the power lines. The Associate Planner explained that the
transmission lines are proposed for the northerly portion of the
parksite, that the referenced easement is to be increased to twenty-
five feet to provide roadway access to the oil extraction sites and
for transmission line location, and stated the only limitation of
parksite use would be that of the Edison Company relating to location
of buildings and structures in the vicinity of the transmission
lines. Mr. Antos stated the power transmission relocation was con-
ditioned as part of the Tentative Tract Map approved by the City
Council and that as proposed the relocation would eliminate an old
electrical loop that originated from the Department of Water and
Power facility, eliminates the electric poles along First Street
and lines along Bolsa Avenue. Councilman Seitz also referred to
the approximate dimensions shown on the Parcel Map, expressed concern
regarding determination of the final lot lines for existing properties
along Catalina Avenue and asked if the City would be legally bound
to the approximate dimensions when the 'final map is considered. The
C~~y Engineer explained the Parcel Map being considered shows: lot
lines as they legally exist and that any adjustment to those lines
would be presented by the developer when other phases of the develop-
ment are considered. It was again clarified the developer is negotiating
with those homeowners to resolve any property line adjustments. The
Assistant City Attorney suggested the Council may wish to consider
a condition of approval that would provide dimension adjustments up
to a maximum footage. Councilman Seitz stated he would like this item
held over until next meeting to review the Edison Company relocation
plan. Mr. Munsell reported that the Edison relocation is in the design
state and that precise data would not be available by the next meeting
and it was pointed out that location of the transmission lines would
be fully set forth on the final parcel map. Discussion continued. It
was noted that without Council approval of the Tentative Parcel Map,
I
I
I
2-22-82
the Planning Department could not approve the concept plan and there-
fore the project would not be eligible for consideration by the Coastal
Commission. The Assistant City Attorney recommended that Condition
4 be amended to read "Final determination as to location of the power
I
transmission lines shall be to the satisfaction of the City Council",
noting that all conditions must be satisfied prior to recordation of
the Final Map. With regard to the one hundred foot easement shown as
Parcel C, the City Engineer explained the roadway width is eighty-
four feet, the remainder to be landscaped area, that the road is on
the County Master Plan and the City's Circulation Element. Mr.
Johnson stated it was his understanding maintenance of the parkway
areas by the homeowners association was a condition of approval of
the Tentative Tract Map.
Seitz moved, second by Vanderstaay, to approve amended Condition No.
4 relating to location of the power transmission lines as recommended
by the Assistant City Attorney.

MUNICIPAL HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE
The City Manager presented the staff report and noted the information
previously requested by Council regarding loss experience in the City
and background information on AVCO had been provided the Council. In
response to Council, the Assistant City Attorney clarified that the
2-22-82
legal opinion of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher dated October 1981 to AVCO
had no bearing on the homeowners proposal being considered by the
City, that the agreement with AVCO is non-exclusive and has been
amended to provide for a five year termination and a thirty day
cancellation provision, that the City is one of the insured not the
insurer and reported that AVCO had agreed to a hold harmless clause
in the event of negligent inspection on the part of the City, however
would not hold harmless in the instance of a resident bringing suit
directly against the City. Mr. Stepanicich noted the City is also
covered under its liability insurance. Discussion continued. Seitz
moved, second by Vanderstaay, to authorize the City Manager to
execute the policy endorsement on behalf of the City as amended
providing for a five year termination and thirty day cancellation
clause and that Section B-J of the endorsement be amended to include
the words "not be responsible or liable for payment.. .". Councilman
Supple stated he would like the City Manager to investigate other
means of generating an equal amount of revenue to the City rather
than through the homeowners insurance program and that he would like
to postpone action on this item pending the City Manager's financial
analysis for the City. Mayor Laszlo stated he was not' prepared' to
vote on the homeowners insurance at this time and would therefore
abstain from voting.

Area Committee be designated as the Citizen Participation Committee.

Citizen Participation Committee be representative of the entire target
area eligible for HC/D funds. Vanderstaay moved, second by Kredell,
