years. He expressed concern that this fence will affect the whole
upper westside neighborhood, and noted Mr. Fieldler is upset that
the City would construct a fence to protect Mr. Mayfield's
property. He urged Council to look at this new fence and see how
existing fencing should be continued south to Gibson Creek and
not east and west. He stated that City staff says there will be
no lock on a gate, but expressed concern that it is only a
matter of time when one could be put installed.
The Assistant City Manager/Community Services Director commented
this fence was installed at the rear of Giorno Park to reduce
damage caused by bicycles to the slopes owned by the City which

FROM: THE CHARTER COMMITTEE
OF THE GIRLS AND BOYS CLUB OF UKIAH
OCT. 19,1994
We have come before you to ask for a resolution of support for our efforts to
establish a Girls .and Boys Club in the City of Ukiah.
Our group, comprised of concerned citizens, came together last winter out of
a mutual desire to help the young people of the Ukiah Valley. We saw a
great, need for a facility-based activity program, where our children could
feel comfortable and safe.
The Girls and Boys Club of Ukiah will primarily be a guidance program,
using a variety of acUvities to foster the social, cultural, physical, and
educational development of the youth of Ukiah.
Since our inception, we have received a great deal of support from the
community. Many parents, local businesses, and agencies, have expressed
their enthusiasm and support for our efforts. After spending several months
evaluating all our options we have chosen to go forward with opening the
club.
To date we have filed our Articles of Incorporation, applied for tax exempt
status, and have organized a site selection and finance committees. We will
use this resolution of support to show the Boys and Girls Clubs of America,
and other national support agencies, that we have the backing of the local
government, as well as the private sector.
We would be happy to answer any further questions the council may have
concerning our plans. Thank you for your time and efforts on our behalf.

~ M. MCAVOY JR.

DATE' November 2t 1994
REPORT
SUBJECT' ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION OPPOSING PROPOSITION 188, THE "CALIFORNIA
UNIFORM TOBACCO CONTROL ACT"
This City Council adopted a far-reaching smoking control ordinance in
October, 1993, which bans smoking in all public places, restaurants, and
worksites. Adoption of this ordinance by the City Council followed an
extensive public opinion survey which .indicated that the majority of
resident and business respondents favored this tougher approach to
protecting citizens from second-hand smoke in public places.
Proposition 188, which is on the November ballot, would establish a
statewide smoking standard and repeal all existing local and state
ordinances that restrict the use, sale, distribution, or promotion of
tobacco.
Today, more than 300 communities have some kind of smoking or tobacco
control law in place. All would be repealed by Proposition 188. Cities
would be forbidden, forever, from enacting the smoking laws desired by
residents in the community, and would be stuck with a law that is weaker
than existing state statutes and many communities' local ordinances.
Over 60% of the population of California lives in cities and counties which
have tougher tobacco controls than contained in Proposition 188, and would
suffer reduced protection from environmental tobacco smoke if Proposition
188 passes.
(Continued on Page 2)
RECOMMENDED ACTION- City Council adopt resolution opposing Proposition
188, the "California Uniform Tobacco Control Act"

1. Council adopt amended resolution.

Supporters of Proposition 188 maintain that the state needs a uniform
statewide standard for tobacco regulation. But, California already has a
statewide standard for enclosed places of employment. This year California
enacted AB 13, by Assembly Member Terry Friedman, which establishes a
statewide smoking prohibition for most enclosed places of employment
(including restaurants and most work places). Equally important, AB 13
allows communities to regulate smoking in areas not covered by the state
standard.
The California League of Cities has taken a position in opposition to
Proposition 188.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF UKIAH OPPOSING PROPOSITION 188, THE
"CALIFORNIA UNIFORM TOBACCO CONTROL ACT"
WHEREAS, tobacco use is responsible for the death of over
400,000 people every year and is the number one cause of death in
the United States; and
WHEREAS, Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS), or second hand
smoke, has been categorized as a cancer causing substance by the
Environmental Protection Agency; and exposure to ETS kills an
estimated 40,000 persons every year; and
WHEREAS, the State of California, as well as many counties and
municipalities, conduct aggressive public education campaigns to
discourage tobacco use, particularly among children; and
WHEREAS, Ukiah passed a smoking control ordinance in
October 1993 which bans smoking in all public places, restaurants
and worksites in order to protect against exposure to ETS; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 188, mistitled the "California Uniform
Tobacco Control Act" would repeal the local smoking control
ordinance passed in Ukiah and replace it with a state wide law
which could permit smoking in every restaurant and workplace in the
State; and
WHEREAS, over 60% of the population of California lives in
cities and counties which have tougher tobacco controls than
contained in Proposition 188, and would suffer reduced protection
from ETS if Proposition 188 passes; and

WHEREAS, Proposition 188 prohibits local government from ever

prohibits community organizations from monitoring the illegal sale
of cigarettes to minors through tobacco purchase surveys or "sting"
operations utilizing minors attempting to purchase tobacco; and
WHEREAS, the ventilation standards proposed in Proposition 188
for application to indoor smoking will remove the odor of smoke
from the air, but not the cancer causing substances which pose a
threat to public health.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Ukiah City Council
opposes Proposition 188; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Ukiah City Council will take
immediate steps to inform the residents of the negative impact of
Proposition 188 on the community.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Resolution declaring 273 Clay Street a public nuisance
and City Council's intent to commence abatement proceedings
SUMMARY: 273 Clay Street contains 10 detached buildings currently
owned by Beverly Balleto who lives in Redwood Valley. She has
applied to the Building Department for a permit to demolish three
of the buildings: two residential rental units and one storage
unit. The remaining seven buildings are rented as residential
dwellings. The City Council approved the issuance of the
demolition permit, since the buildings are over 50 years old. The
rental units for years have been called "Cohen's cabins." The
cabins are uninhabitable and represent a health and safety hazard
to the occupants and the general public. These conditions
constitute a public nuisance as defined in Ukiah City Code Section
3300.
Recent efforts to correct the conditions include a letter from the
City Manager to the owner dated April 28, 1993 (Attachment 1),
followed by a meeting May 12, 1993, between City staff and Ms.
Balleto. (See May 12, 1993 letter from Mike Harris - Attachment
2.) In that meeting Ms. Bellato agreed to an inspection of the
property and the cabin which was, in her opinion, in the best
condition. Based on the results of the inspection she was to
propose a plan to correct the deficiencies by May 24. By May 26
the staff would respond to her proposed plan. At that time, staff
indicated that they would request the City Council to determine
whether to initiate nuisance abatement proceedings.
(Continued on next page)
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution declaring nuisance and intent
to commence abatement proceedings.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS:
Provide
additional
opportunities to abate conditions prior to commencing formal
abatement proceedings; determine that conditions do not warrant
abatement.

The City Building Inspector and Fire Marshall inspected the
property on May 13, 1993. The results of that inspection are set
forth in a memorandum from Cliff Shepard, dated May 18, 1993.
(Attachment 3.) An inspection of the "best unit" on the property
revealed a foundation consisting of unbraced 4" x 4" posts
resulting in a pronounced slope in the floor, walls without top
plates or bracing, windows nailed shut, inadequate sanitation
facilities, 30 amp electrical service in a dangerous condition,
drain pipes that have sagged out of alignment, leak, are improperly
vented, and have unused openings that allow sewer gases and sewage
to escape, a space heater that is improperly installed and vented,
a gas water heater that is improperly installed and vented, and
unrepaired fire damage both inside and outside the cabin.
The Fire Marshall also identified numerous violations of the
Uniform Fire Code. (See April 22, 1993 memo from Fire Marshall -
Attachment 3.)
Following these inspections, by letter to Ms. Balleto, dated May
19, 1993, the Director of Community Development confirmed the
previous agreement under which the inspection had been conducted
and requested Ms. Balleto to propose a plan for correcting the
dangerous and inadequate condition of the cabins.
On May 24, 1993, Ms. Balleto proposed a four year plan to upgrade
the units. On May 26, 1993, the Director of Community Development
rejected a four year time period, but agreed to six months subject
to stated conditions. (August 26, 1993, letter from Mike Harris -
Attachment 4.)
On March 23, 1994, the property was reinspected by the City's Code
Enforcement Officer. He found the same conditions with no
improvement. (See Inspection Report, dated March 31, 1994, from
Carl Tuliback - Attachment 5.)
Despite these efforts to secure the property owner's voluntary
compliance with applicable codes, the property remains a fire
hazard and a danger to occupants and members of the public.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 38773.5, the City has adopted
Ukiah City Code Sections 3300-3310. These sections provide a
procedure for abating a nuisance and making the cost of abatement
a special assessment against the parcel where the nuisance exists.
The resulting assessment may be collected at the same time and in
the same manner as ordinary property taxes. Failure to pay the
assessment is subject to the same penalties and the same procedure
and sale that are used to collect delinquent property taxes.
s:\u\docs94\agenda.coh
October 28, 1994 2
Under those Code Sections, the City Council starts the process by
adopting a resolution which declares the existence of the nuisance
and its intention to commence proceedings to the abate the
nuisance. A resolution is attached for this purpose.
The resolution is recorded in the county property records. The
Building Official posts a notice on the property and a notice is
sent to the property owner. A copy of the proposed notice is
attached as Attachment 6.
The City Council must conduct a hearing not sooner than 30 days
after the notice has been posted and served. At the hearing, the
City Council must hear and consider all objections and protests and
the testimony of the owner, witnesses or interested parties. After
hearing all of the evidence and argument, the City can adopt a
resolution ordering the Public Works Director to repair or remove
the structures or other conditions creating the nuisance. The
Public Works Director must wait thirty days before commencing work.
The City Council can make this order, if it finds that good and
sufficient cause does not exist why the buildings should not be
removed or repaired.
The resolution provides the necessary authority to enter upon
private property for that purpose.
A copy of the resolution must be served on the owner. Within the
thirty days, the owner can remove or repair the buildings at his or
her own expense.
The City would also have to post an order requiring any tenants to
vacate the premises, if the Public Works Director determines to
demolish the buildings.
If the Public Works Director abates the nuisance, he provides the
City Council with an itemized report showing the costs of abating
the nuisance. The City can include its costs in preparing notices,
specifications, contracts, service and mailing. Prior to
submitting the report, he must post a copy of it on the property
for five days and serve a copy on the owner.
The City Council shall set a time for hearing the report. After
conducting the hearing, the City Council adopts a resolution
confirming or correcting the report. A copy of the resolution is
delivered to the Assessor and Tax Collector. They are required to
include this amount as a special assessment and collect it in the
same manner as other property taxes.

Dear Ms. Balletto,
This is a follow up to the conversations you have been having with Mike Harris, our Director of
Community Development, regarding your property at 273 East Clay Street. The City of Ukiah is very
concerned with the living conditions existing on the subject property. The situation is such that formal
action by the City is necessary to bring the units up to minimum acceptable levels for human habitation.
We appreciate your efforts to supply the community with affordable housing, but we must ensure that
the health and safety of our residents is maintained.
On April 20 the Building Official and the Fire Marshal conducted inspections of the property and found
the grounds and structures substandard relative to the safety and welfare of occupants. The Building
Official's observations indicate the situation is such that compliance with Chapter 10 of the Housing
Code is absolutely necessary. Chapter 10 does not specify particular code requirements but identifies
general standards for acceptable living conditions. A listing of the pertinent points identified by the
Building Official is attached for your information. The Fire Marshal's comments (copy attached) are
more specific, but cannot be implemented until the general conditions are drastically improved.
Because of the extensive problems on the site, you will be required to completely upgrade the property
and bring the units into code compliance prior to occupancy of the fire damaged units and even
continued use of the other "dwellings". Demolition of the structures may be necessary in which case
rebuilding for residential uses within this C-2 zone would not be allowed. We will have to evaluate how
extensive the upgrades would be in the context of the zoning code allowances.
In light of these facts, a meeting between yourself and pertinent City staff will be scheduled for the
Week of May 3-7 to discuss the options available to you for the property. If you have a preference for
time or date please contact me or Mike Harris immediately. Until this meeting, any construction on the
property requiring building permits by the City of Ukiah cannot take pla.ce.

Dear Beverly,
We appreciate meeting with you this afternoon t° resolve the issues regarding the
housing conditions on your property at 273 East Clay Street. This is a written recap of
the meeting identifying the schedule and process we agreed too.
By tomorrow, Thursday May 13, you will provide Clif Shepard, Building Official, with the
unit you believe is in the best condition of any on the site. This will be the single unit will
inspected by Clif and Roe Sandelin, Fire Marshall, being the basis for the written report
on the property. It is your responsibility to make arrangements with the tenants and City
staff for the inspections.
The written evaluation of the unit will be submitted to you by Wednesday, May 19. This
will describe the provisions of the building code which are lacking in the identified unit.
From this listing you should be able to determine the extent of the situation and create
a program to comply with the codes for the entire residential complex. To reiterate, this
will reflect the inspection of your "best" unit, so the deficiencies in the others should be
Considerably more extensive.
Accordingly, you are to return to us on Monday, May 24, a complete proposal of what
you plan to do with all of the units. This program will include: 1) how the project will be
financed, 2) a precise schedule of when the work will occur, 3) what will be done to each
unit and what the priority of the work will be, and 4) how you will provide interim housing
for the current occupants.
Clif, Roe, the City Manager, and I will analyze your proposal and determine if it will
satisfactorily meet the City's requirements by Wednesday, May 26. I'm sure we will
discuss this with you to insure we completely understand your objectives. From these
we will recommend a course of action. That action will be agendized for the City Council

SUBJECT:
Chuck Rough, City Manager
Roe M. Sandelin, Fire Marshal
273 E. Clay Street
On April 20, 1993, an inspection of the premises at 273 E. Clay Street was
conducted to determine compliance with fire safety regulations. The following
deficiencies were identified:
a. Each dwelling unit is required to have a fully functioning smoke
detector installed according the manufacturers guidelines. Some units do
not have smoke detectors. (Health and Safety Code 13113.7)
b. Fire extinguishers must be provided for use by tenants in case of fire.
Extinguishers must be located within 75 feet travel distance, be readily
accessible, and be classified as 2A:10BC, minimum. An alternative would be
to place one extinguisher classified as 1A:10BC in each individual dwelling
unit. Compliance could not be verified. (Uniform Fire Code 10.505)
c. Approved numbers must be placed on all buildings in such a position as to
be plainly visible and legible from the street or road fronting the property.
Numbers must contrast with their background. (Uniform Fire Code 10.301)
d. Heating appliances shall be installed and maintained in accordance with
their listings and the Uniform Building, National Electric and Uniform
Mechanical Codes. Clearance from combustible material shall be maintained
as set forth in the Uniform Building and Uniform Mechanical Codes and the
product listing. (Uni[orm Fire Code 11.404)
e. Combustible rubbish kept or accumulated within or adjacent to buildings or
structures shall be stored in approved containers or in rooms or vaults
constructed of noncombustible materials. The term "rubbish" as used in this
code section refers to "waste material including, but not limit6d to, garbage,
waste paper and debris from construction or demolition. (Uniform Fire Code
11.302. a)
Attachment 3, Page 1 of 2
273 E Clay St.

f. Fire apparatus access roads are required to be provided for every facility,
building or portion of a building when any portion of an exterior wall is located
more than 150 feet from fire apparatus access as measured by an approved
route around the exterior of the building or facility. The existing driveway
system provides the necessary access but is often obstructed by parked
vehicles and discarded appliance. The driveway must be identified as a fire
lane and maintained in an open condition to the approval of the fire department.

CERTIFIED MAIL
August 26,' 1993
Dear Beverly,
This will verify the City of Ukiah's position regarding your proposal to complete improvements to the
residential units at 273 E. Clay St. As we have discussed on several occasions, the four years you
have indicated is too long, but six (6) months would be acceptable. This will require combining the
tasks identified in your May 24 letter so that all repair and reconstruction is completed by March 1994.
We had originally thought a two year period could be accomodated, but the situation is such a health
and safety concern that the most expeditious time frame must be imposed. All necessary permits
required for these repairs and rebuilding shall be secured prior to commencing the work. This will entail
plans prior to issuance of the building permits.
Monthly inspections of the work will be conducted to insure compliance with this proposal. In the event
satisfactory progress is not made, the entire project will be terminated, and you will be required to
secure other accommodations for the tenants, and the structures removed.
Immediate action must be given to removing the illegal trailer on the site. This matter was brought to
your attention some time ago, citations have been issued by the Police Department, and it still remains
on the property, as verified by on-site inspection last Friday, August 13, 1993. If this violation is not
rectified by September 7, it will be considered as a failure to comply with the whole upgrading effort
and require us to abandon the agreement noted above and initiate abatement proceedings. It should
be noted that the trailer is in specific violation of Ukiah City Code section 2461, which is over and
above the general deterioration of the units.
We thank you for your continued willingness to work with the City to rectify this situation. I'm sure you
understand, however, the necessity to resolve the matter in a rapid manner. If you have any questions,
or l can be of any further assistance don't hesitate to contact me.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF CITY COMMITMENT TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
FINANCING CORPORATION OF MENDOCINO COUNTY
In early 1991, then Congressman Frank Riggs was able to secure an $850,000
grant through the Department of Housing and Urban Development for the
purpose of regional economic development among north coast counties. The
grant was to be administered by the Redwood Regional Economic Development
Commission (RREDC) of Humboldt County with funds distributed to Humboldt,
Del Norte, and Mendocino Counties. With knowledge of the grant, the City
of Ukiah took the lead and initiated a series of meetings among key public
and private sector agencies to determine the appropriate use of Mendocino
County's apportionment of $250,000. During the processing of the grant and
over a period of approximately two years, that steering committee continued
to meet and determined to use these funds as an opportunity to create a new
non-profit economic development agency for Mendocino county-wide
activities.
That process has continued to evolve through the facilitation of Mendocino
Council of Governments as the appropriate County-wide JPA. With the work
of the initial committee completed in 1993, MCOG recruited a second
steering committee to attain the highest level of public input and to
ensure that any agency ultimately created would represent the broad range
of interests and needs of Mendocino County.
That committee has recommended, and MCOG has approved, the use of the HUD
funds for the establishment of the Economic Development and Finance
Corporation of Mendocino County. This agency is an independent, private,
non-profit corporation, with a 12-member Board of Directors. The City of
Ukiah will retain a voting seat on that Board, which is currently filled by
Councilmember Mastin.

Funds designated from the HUD grant have provided for the agency's start-up
costs, including facilities staffing and equipment. However, both the
initial steering committee, as well as the MCOG representatives, determined
that to ensure the long-term survival of the EDFC, some initial financial
commitment from the four cities and the County of Mendocino would be
necessary. Both committees also felt it was essential that the public
participation be at a minimum so as to create an agency which could
ultimately stand independent of local public funding assistance.
Funding distribution is proposed through a dollars-per-population ratio
intended to proportionately distribute funding among the various public
agencies. The formula arrived at provides for $.75 per person for the four
municipalities of Ukiah, Willits, Fort Bragg, and Point Arena; and $.50 per
person for the unincorporated populations and paid by Mendocino County.
Based upon that formula, the respective funding from the public agencies
would be approximately:
Mendocino County $28,000
Ukiah 11,290
Fort Bragg $4,500
Willits $3,750
Point Arena 300
TOTAL $47,840
Ukiah's contribution is determined on a population of 15,050.
Staff is presenting this item to the Council for consideration and action
on a conceptual basis only. While staff recommends approval of the funding
conceptually, we would also recommend that final appropriation of funding
by the Council be determined at a later date allowing for the actual set-up
of the EDFC and providing the Council an opportunity to consider the
specific services the EDFC can provide to the City of Ukiah.

REPORT
SUBJECT:
APPROVAL OF A DEMOLITION PERMIT APPLICATION TO DEMOLISH 'A SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENCE OVER FIFTY YEARS OLD LOCATED AT 351 SOUTH OAK
STREET
SUMMARY: On October 28, 1994, the Demolition Permit Review Committee voted 3-1 to approve a
demolition permit application to demolish the single family residence located at 351 South Oak Street. The
purpose of the demolition project is to remove the residence and create additional area for the new
Downtown City Plaza parking facility. The 85-year old residence fronts on South Oak Street, and was
originally constructed as a second dwelling unit to a larger residence that was demolished, removed or
bumed prior to world war II. The area surrounding the structure was originally a residential neighborhood,
but has slowly evolved into component of the commercial downtown. After careful review and considerable
discussion, the Committee concluded that the structure does not have significant historical or architectural
value to warrant preservation. However, concern was expressed regarding the loss of an historic
residential neighborhood, and the fact that the historic Hoffman House, located at 308 South School Street
would be left as the only remaining residence from that neighborhood.
An ad has been placed in the Daily Journal announcing an opportunity to acquire the house at no charge.
Staff is currently working with several individuals who have expressed an interest in removing the
residence, however, no agreements have been initiated by these parties. The request for demolition is
contingent upon failing to secure relocation of the structure.
The committee recommended that if the demolition permit is approved, the applicant be strongly urged to
continue efforts to have the building relocated and/or the materials salvaged.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: City Council approve the Demolition Permit for the single family
residence over 50 years old located at 351 South Oak Street.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTION:
1. Determine that the subject structure is historically significant, and deny the Demolition Permit.
2. Remand the demolition proposal back to staff for further research and evaluation into the historical
significance of the structure.

SUBJECT: 351 South Oak Street
351 South Oak was built in 1909. It was built for Mr. & Mrs. L.W. Babcock as a
second living unit on their property. They owned the south half of Block 19, with the
additional land of 1428 square feet from the north half of the block. The Babcock's
primary residence was 320 South School, as shown on the 1911 Sanborn Fire Map. 320
was demolished, burned or removed before World War II.
L. W. Babcock came to Ukiah in 1882 as a school teacher. From 1885-1893 he
was the principal of Ukiah Grammar School. Professor Babcock went on to become the
first principal of Ukiah High School in 1894 and later the Superintendent of Education in
Mendocino County. Biographical material indicates he was a prominent and popular
citizen in Ukiah. The Babcock's moved to Southern California about 1916-1917 for health
reasons. Professor Babcock died in El Monte at the age of 73 in 1919.
The second unit, 351 South Oak, was built either as a rental, retirement home or
for the adult children living in the area. It is not known at this time which purpose or
purposes it served.
The property as it now stands was subdivided from the Babcock's larger lot by
1918. Tax rolls show that the Babcock's sold their primary residence, 320 South School,
by 1919 but retained ownership of 351. It is not known at this time when the widow
Babcock sold the property.
Leonard Nix, well known real estate agent, owned 351 from 1944-1980, using it
as a primary residence form 1946-1951.
I was not able to do an interior inspection. The exterior condition appears to be
in average condition for its age. There has been some remodeling but within the confines
of its original foot print. The structure has had continual occupancy since 1909 as a
residential unit.

The request for demolition is not about the condition of the house, nor economic
hardship. The request is about it being in the way for a proposed parking lot. At one
time Block 19 had four homes on it, if this demolition or removal is approved, there will
only be one house left. Although 351 South Oak does not demonstrate architectural
merit, nor is it the primary residence of the Babcock's, it does have a certain historical
significance as a contributing factor to an historical neighborhood. An important issue is
not to leave the Hofman House, 308 South School, National Reg~er property, like a
"duck out of water", i.e. a home without a neighborhood. An additional issue would be
trading an 85 year old house of viable condition for 10 parking spots. Which serves the
community better?

ON A MOTION by Committee Member Clif Shepard, seconded by Committee Member
Charley Stump, it was carried by an all AYE vote of those present to approve the
Minutes of October 11, 1994, as presented.
DEMOLITION PERMIT REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Chairperson Judy Pruden inquired as to why City Engineer Rick Kennedy had not
attended the past few meetings and discussed the matter of the City Council appointing
staff members for a purpose, rather than designates, to serve on the Committee.
Larry Woods, representing Rick Kennedy, advised that Mr. Kennedy could not attend the
meeting today because he had to attend a MCOG meeting. He noted he is an extremely
busy person.

Chairperson Pruden was of the opinion that Mr. Kennedy should attend the meetings,
since the City Council appointed him. She inquired if it would be appropriate for her to
question him about the matter.
Charley Stump, representing Bob Sawyer who is on vacation, suggested that it is
appropriate for an alternate to attend the meetings, as long as the Department is
represented.
Assistant Redevelopment Director Larry DeKnoblough recommended Chairperson
Pruden discuss the matter with Assistant City Manager/Personnel Director Candace
Horsley.
ReQuest for demolition of structure located at 351 South Oak Strcct, Assessor's_
Parcel No. 002-262-04, owned by Ukiah Redevelopment AQency.
Chairperson Judy Pruden explained that the property was difficult to research and that
she was notified on Friday, October 21, 1994 of the request to demolish the structure.
She read her staff report, noting there is still some information concerning the subdivision
which she was unable to obtain. She discussed the 1911 Sanborn Map. She inquired
why no parcel map or documentation from the applicant was received. She discussed
subdivisions not being recorded in deed books.
Mr. Stump advised that it was not a City requirement to file a parcel map for subdividing
property in 1918.
Chairperson Pruden advised that she did not have an opportunity to research the 1920
tax rolls to see if Mrs. Babcock returned to the community and used the house. She felt
she is in a quandary over the demolition because she likes the property, although it is not
in the inventory and does not have outstanding architectural value. It was obvious at the
time of the inventory it was a secondary house. It was a common occurrence that on the
west side of Ukiah, many second units were constructed. She explained that although
the City is proposing a parking lot at this location, she does not like to see old properties
torn down and felt the City should make an effort to relocate the house. She expressed
her concern for the Hofman House being isolated in the block since there would be no
other residences in the block. She noted that she is not as found of parking lots as she
is of older houses and felt this house is a contributing factor to the neighborhood.
Mr. Stump noted that the neighborhood is predominently commercial at this time.
Discussion followed concerning the possible removal/relocation of the house, Salvaging
materials from the house and perspective persons who are interested in the salvaging
process.
Mr. DeKnoblough apologized for the short time in which the application for demolition
DEMOLITION PERMIT REVIEW COMMITTEE
Page 2
OCTOBER 28, 1994
had been on file and explained that the Ukiah Redevelopment Agency (URA) has been
pursuing relocating the house, noting that several persons have expressed an interest.
Salvaging of materials will occur on project as soon as the present occupants have
vacated the premises. The URA will award the contract for demolition on November 2,
1994 and will need to have the house removed from the property by November 23, 1994.
There is an advertisement in the paper for those interested in taking the house, and the
URA will need to set up appointments for viewing the inside of the house. He noted the
difficulty in viewing the interior of the house while it is still occupied. There is also a need
to inspect under the house to determine if it can be moved. The URA would, prefer to
move the house. If they can't get someone to move the house, they would like to have
it demolished within a certain time frame.
Chairperson Pruden advised that she has been contacted regarding the relocation of
the house, but noted the person was looking for cheaper property outside of Ukiah in
which to relocate it. She expressed her concern with the context of the neighborhood and
felt the Hofman House should not be isolated in the block.
Mr. Stump explained that the Hofman House is currently being used for offices. He
determined from a site visit that both structures seemed out of context in the
neighborhood.
Mr. Woods inquired what the impact would be if the house were to remain at its present
location.
Mr. DeKnoblough advised they are trying to tie in all of these lots into the parking lot.
Approximately 10 or 15 spaces would be lost due to reconfiguring the traffic circulation.
The subject parcel ties in with the parcels on Clay and Oak Streets, and ties in with
streetscape and visual pattern to make it into one parking lot. The fiscal impact would
be approximately $75,000, and would mean the parking would need to be acquired at a
different location.
Clif Shepard felt the structure is an old house and has outlived its usefulness. The City
needs parking lots to help with traffic control and revitalization.
Mr. Stump noted he values old buildings, such as the Hofman House, as assets to the
community, but from a long range planning perspective it is a difficult decision. He was
leaning in favor of the demolition, with a message to the City Council that they make a
concerted effort to move the structure or salvage the materials. Although there will be
a loss with its removal, there will also be a gain as well.
Discussion followed concerning the Committee being aware of the parking lot project
and possible demolition of the structure, however, being given such short notice for the
Committee to conduct research and make a decision on the mater. It was noted that
DEMOLITION PERMIT REVIEW COMMITTEE
Page 3
OCTOBER 28, 1994
many members of the Committee wear many "hats" and it would be better to have ample
notification before the Committee meets.
A MOTION WAS MADE by Committee Member Larry Woods, seconded by Committee
Member Clif Shepard, to approve the demolition of the residential structure, as submitted,
with a strong recommendation to the City Council.
Mr. Shepard withdrew his second to the motion and Mr. Stump then seconded the
motion.
Mr. Woods withdrew his motion.
A MOTION WAS MADE by Committee Member Larry Woods, seconded by Committee
Member Charley Stump, to approve the demolition of the residential structure, with a
recommendation that an effort would be made to give the Committee more notice in the
future as to the disposition of buildings which are part of some ongoing plan.
Mr. Stump withdrew his second to the motion.
Mr. Woods withdrew his motion.
A MOTION WAS MADE by Committee Member Charley Stump, seconded by Committee
Member Larry Woods, to approve the demolition of the structure at 351 South Oak Street,
Assessor's parcel No. 002-262-04, and to urge the City Council to direct the Ukiah
Redevelopment Agency to make a strong effort to have the structure relocated or
salvaged.
Chairperson Pruden advised that regardless of being aware of the parking lot project,
she does not conduct evaluations in advance unless requested.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: TRAFFIC GRANT FOR A RADAR TRAILER
Recently, the State of California, Office of Traffic Safety, approved the Ukiah Police
Department's request for the purchase and use of a mobile radar display trailer. This
mobile radar display trailer will be a self-contained, solar powered trailer that will
display both posted speed limits and the actual speed of passing vehicles. This radar
trailer will be used to inform and educate our community regarding speed laws,
personal driving habits, and serve as an information base on vehicle speed conditions
in areas of the City, along with their relationship to collisions within these areas.
The radar trailer will be located in areas having higher collision rates, areas where the
primary cause of collisions are speed violations, and requests and concerns from our
community, providing an immediate police presence to the concerns and complaints of
the community concerning vehicle traffic violations. In addition, the trailer will be used
in concert with the established community policing program to help officers meet the
specific needs of their communities.
The State of California, Office of Traffic Safety, has authorized the purchase of the
radar trailer ($13,985.40) and continued training in the use of traffic grants, and using
traffic grants as future solutions to traffic concerns within our community ($3,000). The
Office of Traffic Safety will reimburse the City of Ukiah for the entire cost of the
purchase of the trailer and training funds on a quarterly basis.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize approval to purchase grant funded radar trailer
and begin implementation of this program.
