1 A report from the Public Works Director on Railroad Quiet Zones. (T2200.1.4)SUMMARY:
This report examined Railroad Quiet Zone implementation for the City of Orange,as
well as funding issues.Discussion
Public
Works Director, Harry Thomas reported on the various aspects of implementing the quiet zones,
including types of barriers, staggering costs, funding sources, safety, insurance,maintenance,
and location details. He noted there are 16 grade crossings in Orange with a cost estimate
of about $12.9 million to initiate Quiet Zones, although even that figure is just an estimate.
In addition to capital costs, there are also yearly maintenance costs and liability costs.With
quad gates, the City would need to purchase liability insurance, and there is no solid information
that the City can even get that insurance. There may be OCTA grant money available,
but is very limited; and the City will continue to look at other potential funding sources,
both State and Federal.Mayor
pro tern Cavecche clarified the need for the trains to blow their whistles as a safety measure
due to the lack of adequate barriers at street crossings. She reiterated there needs to be more
research on the insurance and liability issues, and whether the City is able to even purchase insurance.
She expressed appreciation to staff for the information contained in the report and indicated
this was a quality of life issue that the Council is taking very seriously. She stated that the
City has a lot of research to do in finding the funding sources; noting also that OCT A will continue
discussions on this matter Councilmember
Smith stated that the longer this takes, the more costly the project becomes. She suggested
the possibility of using CDBG funds for implementing the zones and/or maintenance costs;
and announced details of a Western Regional Safety Grade Crossing training conference occurring
in May that she would like staff to attend.Councilmember
Dumitru commented that the City of Pomona used Redevelopment funds to implement
quad gates in their redevelopment area; suggesting this could be another option for funding.
Councilmember
Ambriz asked if an analysis had occurred ranking all cities addressing this issue and
where Orange appeared on the list; as well as his belief that liability was a huge issue and needed
to be reflected in the report.Mayor
Murphy commended staff for doing the homework and the level of detail in the report; as well
as making it available to the public. He stated that the work can not be done incrementally and
must be done in large portions and staff needed to stay aggressive in finding funds.PAGE

the Planning Commission's approval of Conditional Use Permit 2517-04, Minor
Site Plan Review 360-04, and Design Review Committee 3943-04, to construct a 1,
160 sq. ft. second-story addition on a one-story residence located at the southwest
corner of Washington Avenue and Shaffer Street (260 S. Shaffer Street).The existing 1920'
s Prairie styled, single-family residence is listed
as a contributing historic structure in the City's Historic Building Survey.NOTE:
Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1738-04 has been prepared for this project
in accordance with provisions of
the California Environmental
Quality Act per State CEQA Guidelines Section15070 et seq.Reason for Appeal:I. The entirely
visible second story - 59% increase in floor area is too large for a) existing building;
b) with narrow 8- foot setback (north); and c) on the block.2.
Addition DOES NOT follow Old Towne design standards; building design shall be compatible with
existing structure and new additions
shall be compatible with other buildings on block... including height, mass, bulk.3. Addition
DOES NOT follow Secretary of Interior Standards best explained by review of Planning Commission

13. PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued)
MAYOR MURPHY OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING
Appellant, Councilmember Teresa Smith stated the purpose of her appeal is to question whether
or not the proposed second story addition to the circa 1920 Prairie style residence is appropriate
in terms of visibility from the street, size of the addition and its compatibility, placement, context
and height with the rest of the house and with the neighborhood. It is possible that the design
approach did not explore all available options for an addition that will better retain the historic
integrity of this contributing structure; and the appeal calls for another look at options. She
reviewed each of her reasons for appealing this project, and presented a discussion and
suggestion of each reason. Her suggestions include reducing the size (height) of the second
story addition or place a single story addition out of view at the rear or south side of the building;
reducing the height of the second story ceiling to eight feet, removing parapets and using a less
conspicuous, lower, flatter, possibly overhang roof. A more simple second story would allow the
bottom story Prairie style to continue to dominate the comer lot.
TAPE 2
Applicant, Scott Bolt, 260 S. Shaffer, stated that he had spoken with experts on historical
structures in exploring all possibilities for an addition, and the proposed addition is the best
possible option and will not compromise the historic integrity of the structure, especially as the
ground floor is remaining as is. He indicated that the remodel permit process began one year ago
ending with the Design Review Committee (DRC) and Planning Commission unanimously
approving the project as it is submitted to Council; noting the current option is actually the one
which the DRC thought would be the most appropriate. He stated a single story addition would
diminish yard space and trees.
Craig Wheeler, 58 Plaza Square, Architect representing applicant, stated that many different
options had been considered for the project. He added the design was structured so if a future
owner wanted to remove the second story, they could do so without altering the original structure
and its historic nature; and a single story addition would ruin the existing windows.
The following people spoke in Favor of the Proiect. Their comments include:
Size of lot can support addition to house; additions, including additional bathrooms, are needed
for growing families; conflict of interest applies to appellant; will not jeopardize historical
significance; will add value to neighborhood; neighborhood should not remain static; the Bolts
have a proven track record of improvements both to this house and to their previous house in Old
Towne; to be a vibrant community, need to be able to attract families and be cognizant of
current needs; merits of project have already been reviewed by DRC and Planning Commission;
architect is well respected in Old Towne;

Commission; and it was also not a conflict for a Councilmember to appeal an item to the
Council.
Mr. Bolt reiterated his earlier comment that the DRC and the Planning Commission had
unanimously approved the design.

Councilmember Teresa Smith suggested a reworked roofline on the second story. She added that
at the DRC and Planning Commission Meetings, there had been only three of the five members
present. She quoted from the Secretary of Interior Standards which recommends designing a
new addition to make clear what is historic and what is new. She expressed her suggestion was a
compromise and supported the addition of the second story with a lower roof line, and removal
of parapets.

Council Comments
Mayor Murphy commented that although the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and the Old
Towne Design Standards guidelines are well written, they are still subject to interpretation. He
stated a second story addition would be less intrusive than a one story addition, and did not want
to see a loss of yard space or trees. He concurred that the Applicant should not be asked to
reduce the size of the addition either in square footage or internal height, but in order to find a
compromise and a balance, asked the Applicant if they would be agreeable for the Council to
discuss the project with modifications to the roof trim and parapets.
Mayor pro tem Cavecche agreed that a one story addition would ruin one entire side of the
dwelling and the symmetry of the Prairie style; and that if an addition is going to be made, a
second story is the best alternative; although she would be agreeable to a slight design change in
the second story.
Councilmember Dumitru stated he sees Old Towne as a museum - andthat while the exhibits may
change, the basic structure does not; and agreed the parapets on the roof line are a bad design.
The
Applicant, and his Architect, agreed to a modified design of the roof line.Council
