as Filed by James Lohr, to Provide off Site Street Improvements, for
Property Located in R-1 Zone, at 400 Cypress Avenue
Councilmember Shoemaker excused himself from the meeting at 7:17
p.m., due to a possible conflict of interest.
The Associate Planner reported on the history of this minor
subdivision project, that was considered by the Planning Commission
on October 25, 1995, as an appeal of the City Engineer's Condition of
Approval No. 5. He explained this condition requires that specific
improvements be constructed by the applicant or developer of the
project site along unimproved portions of Cypress Avenue and Pine
Street that are dedicated to the City of Ukiah. He further reported
on the Planning Commission recommendations, the request by the
appellant, Mr. Lohr, and City staff recommendations.
Discussion ensued relative to City-owned property and the applicant's
property, with a map and overhead illustrations.
The City Engineer explained the reasoning of the conditions placed on
this project.
Council queried staff regarding the placement of garbage cans, and

and gutter would permit placement of the garbage cans behind the

Jim Lohr, 1022 W. Standley, distributed drawings showing his proposed
solution to this appeal of Condition No. 4, which is noted as
Condition No. 5. In the agenda summary report. He explained his
understanding of the code. He feels the City cannot ask for
improvements unless they are reasonable and that his proposal makes
more sense than staff's recommendation because it lessens the
confusion for the property's served, and explained his reasoning. He
stated he agreed to pave the area fronting his property as part of
the proposal and if the Council approved, he would raise manholes as
noted.
Jeff Truette, 807 Maple Avenue, stated if one house was to be built
on this property there would be no requirements for curb, gutter, and
sidewalks. He noted this property is neglected by the City of Ukiah.
The requirement for the curb and gutter to go 90 degrees makes more
sense with the manhole to be taken care of. He commented it makes
more sense with the new plan as it creates two separate driveways.
He noted he feels if there is a requirement to extend the sidewalk,
the City should share in the cost for improving this area~
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED - 7:40 P.M.
The City Engineer explained a new residence is required to improve
sidewalks and streets as per Policy Resolution No. 5 provisions. He
explained minor subdivision requirements and conditions and public

Property Zoned R-1 Single Family Residential at 150 Luce Avenue
Councilmember Shoemaker returned to the meeting at this time.
The Associate Planner reported on Use Permit Amendment No. 95-48
which was applied for and denied by a 2-1 vote by the Planning
Commission on November 8, 1995. He reported the original use permit
denies use of facility on weekends and the recommendation of Planning
Department has to approve the request of Plowshares with amended
conditions. On November 8th, the Planning Commission denied by a 2-1
vote. He reviewed possible options.
Council queried staff regarding the original request and procedures
for approval.
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED - 8:09 P.M.
Elaine Taylor, President of Plowshare Board of Directors, requested
that Council to approve this appeal as they have attempted to be good
neighbors, at all times. She explained they are proud of the work
they do, such as last month when they provided 2,400 meals, with
shower and laundry facilities available.
Martin Bradley, 620 Malaga Drive, supports Plowshares and spoke to
the social responsibility of the City to accommodate this beneficial
service, as legally allowed.
Cheryl Baker, 750 N. Pine St., former director of Plowshares,
explained this agency is well supported by this community and
Plowshares is a good neighbor. She requested Council consideration
and compassion for the welfare of the community, and to grant this
appeal.

years. He noted his father came here for two reasons, the work and
the people here, and he indicated he supports Plowshares efforts.

job. She explained that Plowshares is the only family she has right
now and wants to be with them on Christmas.
Alan Seiver, 180 Luce, neighbor to Plowshares, explained the
neighbors agree to be open on December 23 for the Christmas dinner,
but we are afraid they are looking for a foot in the door for
weekends.
Carol Brodsky, Director of Plowshares, reported on the past services
of Plowshares, noting current support services are waning, and
provided statistics as to the numbers served. She encouraged
reasonable solutions to the proposed 4.5 hours per year increase in
our operating hours. She addressed the issues of Police calls for
service in the area compared to other neighborhoods. She addressed
the staff parking matter. She feels they have the most restricted
business operations in the community as they must prepare, serve, and
clean up in four hours with guests eating in 45 minutes, so they can
be good neighbors.
Alec Thomas, pear grower, 1202 Vichy Springs Road, stated he feels
that adding 3 days is a silly exercise in frustration to have our
elected and paid officials to have to worry about, given the value
this operation gives to our valley. He explained our family has been
involved in many services and cannot think of another one ~hat gives
this level of service. He explained that homeless people do not
cause problems, as there are a number of folks who live under the
bridge close to their home, and they have never been a problem to
them.
Suzanne Jackson, 140 Lucerne Avenue, to add to the list of police
calls there are also calls for alarms going off. She indicated she
does not want to have to clean up their garbage around her yard, and
would like to find a better location for this service.
Christin Lazare, stated she lives in a van and her family is in
Arkansas. She wants to allow Plowshares clients to spend the holiday
with their family.
Patricia Haley, volunteer at Plowshares who works three Tuesdays a
month, stated we are very sensitive to the concerns of the neighbors.
She urged Council approval of this appeal.
Frank Zotter, 707 Dora Avenue, stated for five years he lived on
South Street, immediately perpendicular to Luce, and during that time
we never had any problems with people who used Plowshares. People
did park in front of our house during mealtimes. He spoke to other
residential areas he has lived in, with schools and mini-storage
customers that create more problems for him than Plowshares.
Mr. Seiber, 180 Luce Avenue, stated he approves of use for Christmas
but is worried about them getting their foot in the door for weekend
service. He expressed concern regarding fundraising events on
weekends, shower use by walk-ins, and health care services being
provided at this site. He urged approval of only December 23 meal
service.
Shawn Newman, noted he is homeless from Idaho due to no promised job
and with the help of Plowshares, he has a place to eat and a place to
shower.
Jean Harmon, Plowshares volunteer, has found it a very warm
experience which shows me why Ukiah is the 6th best City in the
United States. She encouraged the neighbors to come and assist too.
She suggested as this service is very needed maybe we should find
another location.
Evan Lee, 175 Luce Avenue, stated we are not trying to close
Plowshares, we are only trying to avoid 3 weekends, not Christmas.
She encouraged observation of Plowshares at other times in the year.
Sister Jane Kelly, 991 South Dora, stated she has never stated they

want to be open seven days a week. Explained what all that they have
done for their neighbors. She encouraged observation at any time as
she is proud of their clean operations. She noted all they are
asking for is 3 days out of 103 days, which is alittle over 6 hours
of operation.
James, who lives on Waugh Lane, stated he went homeless overnight. He
spoke to the issues of living homeless with HIV, and is not homeless
anymore and Plowshares has been a great place for me, and it is
always very clean.
Suzy, 180 Luce, addressed the missing bike replacement issue and we
are that we are not here to take away Christmas. She addressed the
neighbors past concerns surrounding the use permit and feels there
are detriments to the surrounding neighborhood for this operation.
Patricia Haley, clarified there are a couple of other new businesses
on the street that create parking, noting all activities are done in
the short time period the facility is open.
John McCowen, PO Box 454, is attending to hear the issues and noted
no one questions the services of Plowshares are valuable. He noted
there has been expanded use and recommends that they be given one
weekend for use, with staff approval.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED - 9:15 P.M.
Councilmember Shoemaker questioned Carol Brodsky regarding Christmas
versus three days.
Ms. Brodsky answered that we requested December 23 only but in
conversation with Dave it was decided it would be simpler and less
hassle if we came up with a maximum number of days. Emphasized if
you decide to go with this appeal, we are not guaranteed those days.
We are asking for the Planning Director to have the ability to
approve a maximum 3 days per year. He has the option of turning them
down.
Discussion ensued regarding future holiday dinner dates, three days
and possible conflicts, support for providing service to the majority
of citizens, and more positives which outweigh the negatives.
M/S Wattenburger/Malone to uphold the applicant's appeal with the
following findings that 1) The project conforms to the conditions of
approval for previously approved discretionary actions required to
permit the operation of the Plowshares facility; 2) A negative
declaration was prepared for the previous Use Permit 92-20 and
approved by the Planning Commission on April 14, 1992, that reviewed
weekend operation of the dining room and determined that no
significant adverse impacts would be generated by, or associated with
this operations and 3) The establishment, maintenance, or operation
of the dining room portion of the Plowshares facility during
specified weekend hours will not be detrimental to the health,
safety, comfort or general welfare of persons residing or working
within the neighborhood, or be detrimental to property or
improvements around the site, or be harmful to the general welfare of
the City, because it is a minor expansion in the hours of operation
of an existing use that has been allowed by previous discretionary
review and approval; with the following amendments to Use Permit 92-
20 Condition No. 1 - All applicable conditions of Use Permit No. 85-
12 shall remain in effect, with the exception of Condition No. 2,
which shall be deleted; and Condition No. 7. - The hours of operation
for the office, shower facilities and laundry facilities shall be
from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 9:00
a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekends. The public use of the dining room
facility shall be from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Monday through
Friday, unless weekend preparation of the dining room facility is
permitted by the Director of Planning as part of a program to provide
meals during special events or holidays. The number of weekend days
permitted by the Planning Director shall be restricted to a maximum
of three days during the calendar year. The motion was carried by the
Reg. Mtg.
