ation of the restructuring of the Belco Development Com-
pany Loan Agreement. (31)
In a memorandum dated February 5, 1987, Kenneth Hen-
derson, Director, Community Development Department, gave
the background of the Belco Development Company Loan
Agreement, and explained various methods of loan restruc-
turing. He stated that staff recommended that approval be
given to deferring of principal and interest payments for
up to two years, with such principal and interest added to
the outstanding principal balance.
Kenneth Henderson, Director of Community Development
Department, explained that Belco had submitted a pro forma
and cash-flow analysis which indicated there is a $3,888
per month negative cash flow, or approximately $46,000 per
year. He explained alternatives to reduce the amount of
payments made to the City, which were: to defer part of
the loan payment for one or two years; defer the whole
payment for a year or two; or to reduce interest rates
for two to five years.
The Mayor and Council discussed the various alterna-
tives.
Ken Henderson, Director, Community Development De-
partment, answered questions regarding the deferment of
payments for two years, stating that Belco is attempting
to sell the property and if they are successful within
this two year period, as anticipated, then the City's
investment would be completely repaid.
Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Reilly and unanimously carried, that the
payments for the Belco Development Company loan be defer-
9
2/16/87
red for 24 months, with an annual review, and with the
additional stipulation that such principal and interest be
added to the outstanding principal balance.
william Collazo, a principal in Belco, expressed
their interest in working with the City in this matter. He
also stated that the proposed restructuring would allow
Belco time and opportunity to pursue a buyer for the prop-
erty. He explained that although there is a negative cash
flow, there are rent increases annually to partially close
the gap. Mr. Collazo explained their goal of bringing
more business to Mt. Vernon Avenue. He reported they have
a laundromat from which they do not recover rent, but
which provides an important service to the people in the
area.
COUNCIL MEMBER FRAZIER ARRIVED
At 9:55 a.m., Council Member Frazier arrived at the
Council Meeting and took his place at the Council Table.
APPEAL HEARING - JOHN M. ZARAGOZA - CONSIDER RELEASE
OF LIEN - 1358 W. FIFTH STREET
This is the time and place set for a hearing to con-
sider an appeal made by John M. Zaragoza, 1472 W. 8th
Street, San Bernardino, for the release of a nuisance
abatement lien in the amount of $183.03 for administrative
charges on property located at 1358 W. Fifth Street.
(29)
Mayor wilcox opened the hearing.
John M. Zaragoza, 1472 W. 8th Street, explained his
appeal, and gave a review of events leading up to the lien
being placed on his property located at 1358 W. Fifth
Street. His appeal is based on a discrepancy in informa-
tion in that it was stated that he failed to respond to a
letter dated February 7, 1986, when in fact, he had re-
sponded in person to then Superintendent of Building and
Safety, Jack Rosebraugh. He produced a letter with a
handwritten message from Mr. Rosebraugh which verified the
fact he had responded to the letter by coming to the
Building & Safety Department requesting information as to
how to correct the problem of an unsafe wall on his
property.
Charles Dunham, Acting Superintendent, Building and
Safety, explained the nature of the problem of the retain-
ing wall, which was determined to be unsafe because it did
not contain steel in the construction, and caused other
unsafe conditions.
Mr. Dunham answered questions, stating that the costs
of the abatement were incurred in administrative charges
in preparing the matter to be brought before the Board of
Building Commissioners on March 25, 1986.
Mr. Zaragoza indicated that the problem of the wall
had been one of long standing but that the problem had
been corrected and he thought the matter had been settled.
He stated he was not aware of the lien until he received
his tax bill.
CITY ATTORNEY PRINCE ARRIVED
At 10:00 a.m., City Attorney Prince arrived at the
Council Meeting and took his place at the Council Table.
Deputy City Attorney Loren McQueen stated it appeared
that Mr. Zaragoza was made aware of the costs at the Board
of Building Commissioners. She also explained what she
considered to be the real issue of the matter and that
10
2/16/87
proper procedure had been followed in the hearing before
the Board of Building Commissioners and the charges for
administrative costs.
council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Hernandez and unanimously carried, that the
City Clerk be instructed to remove the lien on the prop-
erty located at 1358 W. Fifth Street, pertaining to both
John and Angel Zaragoza, on the basis that without Mr.
Rosebraugh here to shed some additional light on this, and
based on the information that has been supplied, Mr. Zara-
goza was not given sufficient information at the time that
he met with Mr. Rosebraugh concerning the possible alter-
natives to costs incurred on this property.
City Attorney Prince answered questions, stating that
he believed the charges were validly incurred.
James Clark, Building Inspector, Building and Safety
Department, stated Mr. Rosebraugh had spoken to him fol-
lowing his meeting with Mr. Zaragoza and told him of his
conversation with Mr. Zaragoza in which Mr. Rosebraugh
indicated that there were problems with the wall. Mr.
Rosebraugh subsequently instructed Mr. Clark to take the
matter to the Board of Building Commissioners.
NEW DIRECTOR OF BUILDING AND SAFETY - JOHN TUCKER
Charles Dunham introduced Mr. John E. Tucker, new
Director of Building & Safety.
Mr. Tucker made a brief statement and indicated one
of the first things he would do would be to revise the
Statement of Costs Form, as it appears unclear as to what
the appeal process actually does.

APPEAL HEARING - REVIEW OF PLANS NO. 86-43 -
FRANK DEL'ANDRAE, ARCHITECT - DARWIN REINGLASS,
DEVELOPER - THREE-STORY APARTMENT COMPLEX -
MILL STREET - CONTINUED FROM FEBRUARY 2, 1987
This is the time and place continued to for consider-
ation of an appeal filed by Frank Del'Andrae, Architect,
on behalf of Irma Ernst, Owner and Darwin Reinglass, De-
veloper, on the Review of Plans No. 86-43, a proposed
three-story apartment complex located on the south side of
Mill street, approximately 200 feet west of the centerline
of Rancho Avenue. (34)
A letter dated February 11, 1987, from Irma Ernst,
property owner, was received, in which she requested a
continuance of the appeal hearing, due to her ill health.
Mayor wilcox opened the hearing.
Dave Anderson, Principal Planner, Planning Depart-
ment, presented the appeal.
City Attorney Prince answered questions.
Darwin Reinglass, representing the development firm,
stated they intend to proceed with the plans for the
apartment complex, and even though Mrs. Ernst had re-
quested a continuance, he felt they could proceed today.
Mr. Frank Del'Andrae, architect and applicant, stated
he was authorized by Mrs. Ernst to use his discretion in
making decisions regarding this proposed project. He
stated he concurred with Mr. Reinglass in the decision to
proceed with the hearing today.
Mr. Del'Andrae stated he had talked to various people
in the area regarding the crime problem, and reported that
a gym sponsored the Colton Police Department will soon be
opened which will help curb crime in the area. Mr.
Del'Andrae reviewed the crime statistics of the area, with
the conclusion that crime is going down.
Jim Penman, Attorney and candidate for the Office of
City Attorney, stated that he felt there was a legal prob-
lem involved in this issue that should be dealt with now
to avoid future complications. He stated that he was not
for or against the project, but just wanted to offer a
suggestion to avoid legal problems.
Mr. Penman suggested that the Council put into the
record the following: "That the Council finds that the
Planning Director has admitted he was instructed to file
the written appeal and failed to do so. Therefore, in the
interest of fairness and justice, we have allowed the
24
2/16/87
appeal to the Planning Commission without compliance with
the requirements of Chapter 2.64 of the San Bernardino
Municipal Code."
City Attorney Prince reaffirmed his legal position,
and quoted from Sections 2.64.010 and 2.64.020 of the San
Bernardino Municipal Code. He stated that due process of
appeal had not been given to the neighboring residents, so
they can't be held to an appeal process that was not
granted to them. Their appeal doesn't have to be in writ-
ing because they didn't know they had the right to appeal.
The Mayor and Council discussed the past record on
this matter and what had been included in the minutes.
City Clerk Clark explained that the appeal by Council
Member Hernandez had not appeared on the tape and there-
fore had not been included in the minutes.
City Attorney Prince recommended that the minutes be
amended to include the appeal, as there are three wit-
nesses that heard the appeal given.
Helen Kopczynski, 8150 Cable Canyon Rd., stated she
had read a reference to the appeal by Council Member
Hernandez in the newspaper, so it appeared to be of public
record that the appeal was made.
Darwin Reinglass, developer, stated that none of the
people here in the audience had spoken to him and tried to
find out what kind of a project he was planning to build.
He stated that increasing the population in an area with
honorable citizens cuts down on crime. He explained that
he didn't think a commercial venture in the area would be
successful, as there is already a 60% vacancy factor in
the Stater Brothers Shopping Center. He stated he planned
to build nice apartments and would cater to the handi-
capped and senior citizens.
Mr. Reinglass stated that he intended to provide good
management for the proposed apartment complex and would
retain ownership for at least seven years and ensure prop-
er management. He also stated that he had decided to
reduce the complex from three stories to two stories and
reduce density to 32 units.
Dave Anderson, Principal Planner, Planning Depart-
ment, answered questions, stating that Mr. Reinglass had
submitted a revised set of plans a little over two weeks
ago, and was advised at that time the plans would have to
go back to Design Review Committee, due to the extensive
changes.
Kenneth Connor, Coordinator of the Architectural Bar-
riers Committee, stated he had reviewed the plans for the
proposed apartment complex, and was in favor of the proj-
ect. He explained that at least four of the apartments
will be accessible to the handicapped, and that there are
nearly 5000 applications for such facilities. Presently
there are no apartments certified for the handicapped in
the Third Ward, or elsewhere in the City.
Henry Steil, 2250 W. Mill Street, stated that there
are handicapped persons living in the mobile home parks,
and suggested the vacant apartment complex in the area be
used for handicapped persons, as they are all on the
ground level and were originally built for senior citi-
zens.
25
2/16/87
Mr. E. Jerry Rios, 650 La Cadena, Colton, Council
Member, Colton, expressed concern over the proposed apart-
ment complex, for himself and his constituents, and re-
quested that the project be denied, because of the deteri-
oration of apartments and homes in the immediate area. He
felt this type of project would be detrimental to the
area, and suggested down zoning or rezoning the area to
commercial.
E. J. Hutchinson, Manager of the Village Green Apart-
ments, stated she was opposed to the proposed project
because the residents of the area have become victims at
the hands of criminals and it would be unfair to bring
more people into this situation.
Don Toft, 2250 W. Mill, a resident of the Stardust
Mobile Home Park, in reference to a remark by Mr. Rein-
glass at a previous meeting, stated that even though some
of the people protesting are not property owners, they
are home owners, voters and taxpayers and have as many
rights as property owners. He stated he was opposed to
the project.
Chuck West, 2176 W. Mill Street, spoke against the
project, stating that the apartments in the area are not
well built and had deteriorated. He also spoke about the
businesses that have left the area because of unfavorable
conditions.
Henry Steil, 2250 W. Mill Street, spoke of the dan-
gerous conditions in the neighborhood and felt it would be
wrong to bring handicapped persons in the neighborhood, as
it not safe for anyone, particularly at night. He sug-
gested that no units larger than four-plexes be built
within the City.
Jess Flores, Planning Commissioner, stated there had
been a public hearing at the Planning Commission on this
matter, and even though everyone had been contacted, no
one from this development was present. The project was
unanimously denied, because it was not compatible with the
area. Mr. Flores requested that the Mayor and Council
sustain the decision of the Planning Commission.
Betty Chute, 2686 W. Mill, Rancho Meridian Mobile
Homes Estates, opposed the project. It was her opinion
that it would be more difficult to control the problem of
crime if there were additional people in the area.
Beatrice Emory, spoke in opposition to the project,
because of the crime problems.
Belinda, a resident of the area, stated she had been
a victim of a crime, and stated she felt that people
needed to cooperate and provide some kind of rehabilita-
tion and education program to help the criminals. This
type of help would cut down on crime and provide a better
atmosphere for everyone concerned.
Harry Spencer, Sequoia Mobile Home Park, was opposed
to the project, because of the run down apartments in the
area and the serious crime problems after dark.
A lady from the Stardust Mobile Home Park, spoke of
children in the neighborhood who threw rocks at her and
were verbally abusive.
The Council discussed the possibility of meeting with
the developer to try to work out a solution by providing
another use for the property, such as commercial.
26
2/16/87
council Member Hernandez made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Estrada and unanimously carried, that the
hearing be closed, and that the decision of the Planning
Commission be affirmed in denying the project.
Mr. Reinglass stated he was stunned by the Council's
decision, and stated he had tried to do the right thing by
removing the third floor of the proposed apartments and
reducing the density. He stated he had no intention of
building slum units, and that a commercial venture would
not succeed, as there is already a 60% vacancy factor in
the commercial area.
Jess Flores, Planning Commissioner, answered ques-
tions, stating that the Planning Commission held an open
hearing and had recommended denial because the project was
not compatible with the surrounding areas due to the three
stories and the fact there were no recreational amenities.
