12200
Mr. Yoshiki explained the Applicant, as licant Calsan also known a Downey owney Area Recycling and
Transfer Facility (DART), has requested increasing the operating capacity of the facility from 1 500
g p Y y a
tons per day to 5,000 tons per day. This increase will not necessitate a physical chan g e to the site. He
narrated a visual program depicting the general plan diagram, zoning, subject ro ert and
p p y
surrounding property, explaining that with the proposed increase the facility would become a 24 -hour
Y
operation and be available to other haulers. The proposed increase would also accomplish the
requirements of Assembly Bill 939 to reduce the diversion of solid waste by 50 ercent by the
p Y year
Y
2000. He reviewed traffic patterns accessing and exiting the property and noted two speakers spoke
in opposition to the proposed expansion at the Planning Commission meeting, Park Water Company
p Y
and Can - Lines, Inc. Park Water Company is the Appellant in this appeal. He referred to Conditions
added during the Planning Commission meeting to address the concerns raised and explained the
conditional use permit process allows the City to impose conditions to insure surrounding property
gp p Y
owners that potential concerns are adequately addressed. It also affords the City the right to modi
• .. . g modify
its approval by adding additional conditions. He introduced Kevin Thomas of Robert Bein,William
Frost & Associates to discuss traffic issues.
Kevin Thomas, Environmental Services Manager of Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates,
noted he worked with City staff in preparation of the environmental impact report. He introduced
p p
Bob Matson, the primary author of the traffic study, who reviewed points raised by Park Water
Company. He noted there is no expiration date of a traffic study in the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA); mentioned steps taken to conduct the traffic pp
study; noted the Applicant will be
funding the reconstruction of the road; that tipping fees charged will contribute to resurfacing; and
g g,
that resurfacing of these roads is in the City's Capital Improvement Budget for this year. He referred
to the concern about odors, noting Conditions 7, 8 and 9 were added to respond to this concern. He
responded to comments from the Council.
Ms. McDonnell indicated correspondence was received from Mr. and Mrs. Du Lac supporting
the appeal.
It was moved by Council Member Lawrence, seconded by Council Member McCarthy and so
y y
ordered to receive and file.
Mayor McCaughan asked if the applicant or his representative wished to come forward and
present their case.
Lee Brock, General Manager of Downey Area Recycling and Transfer (DART), g 9770
Washburn Road, Chip Clements of Clements Environmental, consultant to the DART facility on
environmental and permitting matters, and Morrie Adnoff of DART, referred to comments made at the
Planning Commission meeting and explained p
steps put into place to alleviate or eliminate these
P
problems, such as assigning four employees to litter pickup; contracting with a street sweeping
company, noting they are in the process of purchasing their own sweeping equipment; installing a full-
time ventilation system installing a misting system to deter dust and odors; installing a new driveway;
and clearing all trash off the tipping floor so that ao trash is left in the buildin g overnight ht or over the
weekend. Mr. Brock stated they are monitored closely by the State and County Health De
� y y Departments
p
and have never received a violation. They responded to comments from the Council.
There being no one else to speak in favor of the Conditional Use Permit, Mayor McCaughan
asked if the Appellant wished to come forward and resent their appeal.

Council Minutes 6/22/99 -2-
12201
Patrick Kearns, Vice President of Park Water Company, 9750 Washburn Road, mentioned that
traffic has increased tremendously and the way it is handled is a problem. He felt the City was
responsible for dealing with the traffic situation and urged the Council to see that the rules of the road
are enforced in this area. He noted the storm drain system is omitting a terrible odor and that he was
advised the City has contacted the Los Angeles County Public Works Department to clean out the
storm drain system. He felt the air quality portion of the EIR report does not address toxics that might
be omitted from the trash and stated his employees are concerned and have asked Park Water
Company to hire a consulting firm to evaluate the outside and inside of their building for the presence
of any toxics in the air. He referred to traffic measures that Park Water Company has taken through
the years of its tenancy to make the streets safer in this area. He asked that the hearing be continued
to allow City staff the time to determine the effects of the gases omitted at this facility; asked that the
following statement be added to Exhibit A, Item 2: "Within four months of this approval of the
Planning Commission and at a noticed public hearing, shall consider the applicant compliant with
conditions of the approval and the mitigation monitoring program, including but not limited to,
conditions and mitigation measures related to the odors "; and asked that the Council direct staff to
present a traffic control plan for this neighborhood, with a construction schedule for improvements
that are planned for Washburn Road and Regentview Avenue. He responded to comments from the
Council.
Gary Justice, Owner of a multi-tenant property at Pangborn Avenue and Washburn Road, said
his tenants have complained that the street has been completely backed up with trash trucks when their
clients are arriving. These tenants have threatened to terminate their leases due to this situation and
the odor problem. He advised that he hired a security service because dumping behind his property
was escalating and feels the DART facility is a blight on this neighborhood.
Mayor McCaughan asked the applicant if he wished to speak in rebuttal.
Mr. Brock advised that it would take approximately 30 trucks in a line to block Mr. Justice's
property and noted this does not happen. Also, the odor problem has improved since the installation
of the fans, which were designed by engineers and an architect. He noted the sewer system in this area
emits a bad odor.
Mr. Clements explained their existing solid waste permit does not allow cueing of the trucks in
the street and stated their scale is situated where there is room to cue at least ten trucks, if necessary,
which does not happen. The facility is only allowed to process municipal solid waste and recyclables
and is not allowed to accept hazardous or toxic materials.
Council Member Lawrence asked if the entry to the property could be reversed to eliminate
cueing of trucks and was advised the facility was designed for access off the Regentview Avenue/ -
Washburn Road intersection and changing it would probably cause additional traffic problems.
Council Member Lawrence mentioned that mitigaticti measures have been taken since the
Planning Commission meeting. She expressed concern about air quality and questioned the age of the
trucks and maintenance measures. She was informed the trucks are a year and a half old, are tested
for air quality every month, and are well maintained.

Council Member McCarthy eferred to the mentioned on Page 8 of the
. Y number of truck trips menti
consultants report and was advised this equates to 700 trucks a day coming in and 7
. , y g d 00 trucks a day
leaving, if the facility operates at 5,000 tons per day.
Y
Council Member Perkins inquired regarding the items checked by State and County Health
y ealth
Departments on a monthly basis and was advised the checklist includes, odor, litter, and operating
operating
characteristics, as far as environmental and permitting compliance.
There being no one else to speak, it was moved by Council Member � y ember Lawrence, seconded by
Council Member McCarthy and so ordered to close the hearing.

Prior to the vote, Council Member Lawrence referred to Condition No. 10, street
markings to prevent vehicles from blocking he intersection of Downey-Norwalk Road
g y and
Regentview Avenue, and requested an explanation.
Bob Matson stated they were notified at the Planning Commission meeting that when the
railroad tracks are occupied it causes cueing periodically. It was recommended that striping
gp y or
signage be added stating "do not block intersection to allow access." He noted that the same
striping or signage could be installed at Pangborn Avenue, if this condition exists.
Council Member Lawrence asked that a condition be added to the Resolution to mitigate
cueing on Pangborn Avenue and Washburn Road with striping and also provide for a twelve-
month review to make sure these measures are working. She asked staff to look into the odor
emitted from the storm drains in this area.
Council Member McCarthy asked about staff's plans for street improvements in this area
and was informed that plans are almost ready for the Washburn Road project.
Council Member McCarthy asked for data on the ratio of trucks coming on and off
Washburn Road as opposed to Regentview Avenue and was informed that 60 percent of the
inbound trucks were entering on Regentview Avenue, the balance would access the site via
Washburn Road. When leaving, 20 percent leave via Washburn Road and 80 percent g o north on
p g
Regentview Avenue.
Council Member Perkins asked what information was used for highway capacity in the
g Y p Y
traffic analysis and was advised it was the Highway Capacity acit Analysis for Unsignalized
g Y P Y Y g
Intersections, which is typical for southern California He then stated he felt correct p rocedures
were used in performing the traffic study.

Commission and suggested that street sweeping be utilized from the entrance at Woodruff
Avenue off Stewart and Gray Road as liquid runs off the trucks in this area. He asked that trash
