Chairman Fernandez arrived at 3:15 p.m., and requested that Vice -Chairman Turner continue conducting the meeting. APPROVAL OF MINUTES ON A MOTION by Member Harris, seconded by Member Looney, it was carried by an all AYE voice vote of the members present to approve the minutes of March 9, 1999, as submitted. AUDIENCE COMMENTS ON NON -AGENDA ITEMS Chairman Turner read audience comments. DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS: NEW BUSINESS Request for a disabledap rking area at 302 West Henry Street at the corner of Oak Street - James McLain - County of Mendocino AODP Mr. James McLain, Administrative Services Officer, Department of Public Health, County of Mendocino, stated he is requesting a handicap parking space to be designated at 302 West Henry Street for an employee who has recently been approved for a disabled person placard. Currently, there is no designated handicap parking space that meets ADA requirements for handicap individuals. MINUTES OF THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING COMMITTEE APRIL 13, 1999 PAGE 1 Vice -Chairman Turner noted that the placard expires September 10, 1999 Member Harris stated abutting the property is a vacated building with on-site parking, and asked if that parking area could be used for employee and handicap parking. Mr. McLain responded the vacated property is a separate parcel, but owned by the same property owner. He advised, in a discussion with the County's Risk Manager, the on-site parking area does not meet ADA requirements. Vice -Chairman Turner asked if the employee is in a wheelchair or uses crutches. He expressed that he is opposed to the on -street handicap parking on the south side of Henry Street, and that the intersection of Henry and Oak Streets does not have curb cuts or wheelchair ramps. Mr. McLain responded the employee uses crutches. Member Looney stated he is opposed to designated on -street handicap parking at that location. ADA regulations for parallel parking requires an additional 5 -feet in width for handicap parking to accommodate wheelchairs, and extensive repair to the sidewalk for a handicap ramp. Member Lohse asked if there is on-site parking. Mr. McLain responded the employees utilize the on-site parking, however, they are not authorized to use the parking area. Vice -Chairman Turner stated the driveway adjacent to Henry Street has been designated as a pick-up/drop-off/short-term parking for handicap parking. He asked if the employee could utilize the end of the driveway, with the existing area being reserved for clients. Mr. McLain responded staff measured the area and it will not accommodate a wheelchair. Member Lohse asked if there is sufficient parking area to develop another handicap parking space. Mr. McLain responded he will contact the property owner to discuss this issue and the possibility of paving the parking area. Member Lohse expressed he is opposed to the on -street handicap parking area because the parking space would be utilized by others, other than for the employee, and there are no handicap ramps. Discussion followed regarding the possibility of relocating the fence along the driveway to obtain additional parking space; Henry Street is narrow and Oak Street has a downhill MINUTES OF THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING COMMITTEE APRIL 13, 1999 PAGE grade. ON A MOTION by Member Looney, seconded by Member Harris, it was carried by an all AYE voice vote of the members present, to deny the request for a disabled parking area at 302 West Henry Street at the corner of Oak Street. a. Request for stop sign on Dora Street at the new driveway entrance of the Catholic Church - Lois Cook. Member Looney advised the Public Works Department has provided a stop sign, at no cost, to St. Mary's Catholic Church, and no further action is required. b. Request to change two hour parking zone to a loading zone located in front of Tom's Glass, 105 South Main - Tom Griffin. Owner. Vice -Chairman Turner reported staff received a letter from Tom Griffin, owner of Tom's Glass located at 105 South Main Street. He is requesting that the two hour parking zone be changed to a loading zone for deliveries to his business. Mr. Griffin states it has become difficult for a 40 -foot delivery truck to make a right -turn into the driveway when vehicles are parked on -street and close to the driveway entrance, and creates traffic congestion. The loading zone could be utilized for deliveries, making a resourceful and safer area. Vice -Chairman Turner asked if there is on -street parking in front of the Dragon's Lair. Member Looney responded the Dragon's Lair has off-street parking, and is also an access entrance/exit to the parking lot of the Porter Street Barbeque. He advised that he spoke with Mr. Griffin regarding the possibility of yellow curbing the entire frontage, including the 24.8 -foot red curb area, to allow larger trucks to utilize the entire frontage. Mr. Griffin expressed a concern that vehicles would utilize the loading zone for other surrounding businesses and wished to stay with his original request for a loading zone and keep the 24.8 -foot red zone. Mr. Griffin noted the delivery trucks deliver three times a week. Vice -Chairman Turner expressed a concern to on -street parking near the intersection of Perkins Street and Main Street. Member Lohse stated at high peak traffic hours vehicles are backed -up and utilize the right-hand turn lane. ON A MOTION by Vice -Chairman Turner, seconded by Member Harris, it was carried by an all AYE voice vote of the members present, that the Traffic Engineering Committee recommend to the City Council approval of the request to change the two hour parking zone to a loading zone located in front of Tom's Glass, 105 South Main. MINUTES OF THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING COMMITTEE APRIL 13, 1999 PAGE 3 OLD BUSINESS a. Status Report on Traffic Issues and Complaints Concerning Pick-up and Drop-off Area for Elementary School Children at Mendocino Drive and Dora Street - Ukiah Police Department. Member Harris stated the School Administrator, Principal of Yokayo Elementary, Sergeant Greg Heitkamp, and himself looked at the area. Flyers were to be sent to parents, plans were given to the School indicating the location of the sewer line along the south property line, and there was discussion of improvements along Mendocino Drive. Vice -Chairman Turner advised in a discussion with Sergeant Heitkamp, the gate at the southwest corner of the property was to be open to allow children access to the school grounds within the fenced area, and the gate at mid -block was to be locked to prevent children from exiting between the parked vehicles. As of this date, the School has not opened the gate and the gate at mid -block remains unlocked. He expressed he would like to see "NO PARKING' zone signs installed on Mendocino Drive, 10 - 20 feet apart, to allow the children clear sight visibility when exiting the gate area. Member Lohse expressed he agrees with Vice -Chairman Turner and would like to see the gate at mid -block locked. He advised that he would like to have a representative from the School District respond on the status of this issue. It was the consensus of the Committee to continue this item to the May 11, 1999 meeting, requesting representatives from the Police Department and School District to respond on the status of the traffic issues and complaints concerning pick-up and drop-off area for elementary school children at Mendocino Drive and Dora Street.

As a registered (and/or legal) owner of record of said vehicle (or said parts of a vehicle), you are hereby notified that you may, within ten (10) days after the mailing of this notice of intention, request a public hearing and if such a request is not received by the City Clerk within such ten (10) day period, the Police Chief or his designated representative shall have the authority to abate and remove said vehicle (or said parts of a vehicle) without a hearing.

If the owner of the land submits a sworn written statement denying responsibility for the presence of the vehicle on his land within such ten (10) day period, said statement shall be construed as a request for hearing which does not require his presence. Notice of the hearing shall be mailed at least ten (10) days before the hearing to the owner of the land and to the owner of the vehicle, unless the vehicle is in such condition that identification numbers are not available to determine ownership. If such a request for hearing is not received within said ten (10) days after mailing of the notice of intention to abate and remove, the City shall have the authority to abate and remove the vehicle or parts thereof as a public nuisance without holding a public hearing.

Said facts and testimony may include testimony on the condition of the vehicle IM §7611 §7613 or parts thereof and the circumstances concerning its location on the said private property or public property. The Traffic Engineering Committee shall not be limited by the technical rules of evidence. The owner of the land may appear in person at the hearing or present a sworn written statement in time for consideration at the hearing, and deny responsibility for the presence of the vehicle on the land, with his reasons for such denial. The Traffic Engineering Committee may impose such conditions and take such other action as it deems appropriate under the circumstances to carry out the purpose of this Chapter. It may delay the time for removal of the vehicle or parts thereof if, in its opinion, the circumstances justify it. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Traffic Engineering Committee may find that a vehicle or parts thereof has been abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, or is inoperative on private or public property and order the same removed from the property as a public nuisance and disposed of as hereinafter provided and determine the administrative costs and the cost of removal to be charged against the owner of the land. The order requiring removal shall include a description of the vehicle or parts thereof and the correct identification number and license number of the vehicle, if available at the site. If it is determined at the hearing that the vehicle was placed on the land without the consent of the owner of the land and that he has not subsequently acquiesced in its presence, the Traffic Engineering Committee shall not assess the costs of administration or removal of the vehicle against the property upon which the vehicle is located or otherwise attempt to collect such costs from such owner of the land. If the owner of the land submits a sworn written statement denying responsibility for the presence of the vehicle on his land but does not appear, he shall be notified, in writing, of the decision.

Napa, CA 94558 Dear Toni and Regina, I am writing this letter pursuant to the conversation I had with you (Regina) on 04-26-99, via telephone. I am also enclosing a copy of the letter that Cpl. Heilkamp sent to Rose on 03-15-99. The letter and the notices of Abatement on the vehicles located at your property, 660 Talmage Rd., Ukiah , CA, was returned to the Ukiah Police Dept. I am sending you the revised copies of the notices regarding the Abatement of the vehicles, since I now am clear on the situation with Rose and Tom being the conservator of her estate. As you are now aware, the Ukiah Police Dept. was assigned to handle the vehicle abatement matter on the mentioned property. I am aware that the City of Ukiah Building Inspector, Carl Tuliback, has sent you a letter regarding the complete clean up of the mentioned property. Mr. Tuliback has set a proposed date of completion for the clean up for August 31, 1999. The Police Dept. has a stricter guideline regarding the vehicles. As you will find in the abatement notices, the notice has a 10 day stipulation regarding removal of the vehicles and/or submission of a request for a public hearing regarding the issue. The Ukiah Police Dept. realizes that your tenant, Mr. Pugh, is the responsible party for the disarray on your property, and we are willing to work around the requirements of the abatement codes. However, the vehicles (and auto parts) on your property pose concerns for the safety of the public. As I have mentioned in our telephone conversations, the oils deposited from the vehicles, the acids from the wet cell batteries, and the general pollution from the vehicles causes problems to the environment, as well as, the public 04/20/99 Page I !y Ukiah ppPolice Department F30v01.4.SBMINARYAVENUE UKIAII, CALIFORNIA 95482•l�gi�� r' Bits: (707) 463-6262 Fitz: (707) 461-6068 John rr'illia"' M ,I Chief of Police safety. The potential problems could lead to further violations of the law (local, state, and federal) without immediate clean up. I would like to state, again, that we ar e not trying to be unreasonable, and that we are willing to work with you in this matter. As I have stated in our conversations, the Police Dept. would like to see all of the vehicles off of the property no later than May 31, 1999. Jhe alternative is that the Police Dept. will abate the vehicles ourselves, which unfortunately brings costs to you. I know that you are making progress with Mr. Pugh in the clean up of the property and we would all like to see the progress continue. I had a conversation with Mr. Pugh on 04-21-99. Mr. Pugh shared with me Iiis design to dismantle the vehicles and make some type of trailer vehicles with the parts. Mr. Pugh's plans have other problems that we have discussed and do not follow the requirements set forth by Mr. Tuliback, which is the complete clean up of the property. I would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation and your efforts toward resolving this matter. If I can be of any further assistance or you run into problerns in the vehicle matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at my office, ph.#463-6759 or voice mail ext. 6463. Very7Ty yours, Cpl.

On the property is located a business called "Bob's Trading Post" which deals mainly in secondhand merchandise. Tuliback told me that he has received complaints about the appearance of the business in the past and has previously spoken with the owner. Tuliback said that these contacts had resulted in the business rearranging their goods so that they appeared organized for display. Upon our arrival this date I observed all of the property to be strewn about in disarray with no indication that any of it was for sale. There were no price tags or for sale signs on any of the mist. equipment on the property nor were there any on the 15 vehicles that were parked in various locations. Tuliback advised me that he would address the issue of accumulated trash if I would deal with the abandoned vehicles on the property. I proceeded to walk about the property and record the license numbers and descriptions of the vehicles that were obviously abandoned or inoperative. Also located on the property was a large quantity of misc. vehicle parts, which were contained mainly in the rear yard area to the North of the business. Upon completing an inventory of the vehicles I proceeded to take 15 color digital photographs depicting the condition of the property and vehicles located thereon (copies attached). During our inspection of the property I located an RV trailer in the front yard area that was occupied by a subject named Mike Davidson (DOB: 8-14-39). Davidson stated that he was currently living in the trailer on the property and had been given permission to stay there from the business owner, Bobby Pugh. I informed Davidson that it was illegal for 03117199 G.

Davidson told me that he would make immediate arrangements to move his RV to a legal living area. As we continued to walk through the property we located a "lean to" type camping tent near the North property line which appeared to be in current use as a living structure. There was plastic sheeting set up over some branches to provide shelter, a cooking area that appeared recently used along with a Five gallon plastic bucket that was being used as a toilet. I was unable to locate a possible resident in the vicinity of this structure. Tnliback made note of the various types of trash and rubbish being stored on the property and provided me with the name and address of the property owner, S#1 Rose Caldwell. At 1010 hrs we concluded our inspection of the property and left the location. On 3-15-99 I prepared vehicle abatement notices (copies attached) for S#1 Caldwell and all of the registered owners of the vehicles on the property and caused these to be sent to the involved parties by certified mail in accordance with 7609 UCC (receipts on file). Recommendations: Further action is pending the expiration of the required ten-day waiting period that the parties are allowed in order to request a hearing on the issue. If no requests are made I will re -inspect the property on 3-29-99 to determine if it has been brought into conformance.

OF PUBLIC WORKS Rick, this is a follow-up letter in regards to our conversation on 4-19-99. At the present time there is only a two way stop on Freitas Ave. I would like this changed to a four way stop at the intersection of Freitas and Oak. Just recently the Catholic Church was finished at this intersection which has increased the amount of vehicle traffic on these two streets one hundred percent. On street parking has also increased to the point where you can't see if the road way is clear until you are in the middle of the intersection. In addition what use to be a quite neighborhood street has become a raceway at times. There have been several near accidents and several accidents since the church has opened. For the above-mentioned reasons, I feel that a potentially dangerous problem has arisen for drivers in the area and for the small children who live in the apartments at this intersection. Your attention and quick action in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
