Mayor Hunter called the adjourned regular meeting to order for the purPose of
meeting jointly with the Senior Citizens' Commission and the Community
Services Board for discussion regarding human and senior services in Anaheim
for fiscal years 1989-90 and 1990-91.
Chairman of the Community Services Board (CSB) June Lowry called the Community
Services Board to order.
Chairman of the Senior Citizens' Commission (SCC) Herman Siegmund called the
Commission to order.
Steve Swaim, Superintendent, Community Services Division. The meeting is to
discuss human services and senior services - where they have been over the
past ten years and where they are going in the future ten years. Last June
the Council approved the Human Services Needs Assessment and Action Plan and
one o~ the strategies was ~or the Council to meet with the Senior Citizens'
Commission and Community Services Board to discuss the issues.
June Lowry, Chairman, Community Services Board. They are presenting a "State
of the Union" of human services needs in the past year as viewed through the
Commission and the Board. She then deferred to Vlvian Engelbrecht.
Vivtan Engelbrecht, Community Services Board. As the senior member of the
CSB, she has seen the Board's duties change dramatically through the years.
As the City grows, human needs become more demanding. The Board, because of
its makeup, has been able to study and evaluate the changes intelligently and
with compassion. Each Member is a specialist on human needs, representing
various organizations and churches in the community.

Adjourned Regular Meeting of May 1. 1990
June Lowry. She expanded on the activities of the Board, which include the
large task of recommending to the Council those Community Services Agencies to
be funded through the process established. The Council has given the citizens
of Anaheim a great deal of support. Last year when the Council agreed on an
amount of money to be available for funding the agencies in this year it was
extremely helpful to the Board. She then explained the process the Board
followed in the past year, the many meetings which took place with Block Grant
people and the seniors to determine what would be best for the City for the
next five years in terms of a Needs Assessment Action Plan and
implementation. Five priorities were determined between the Gommtsston,
Board and Block Grant people - (1) transportation for seniors/frail elderly,
(2) homeless and affordable housing, (3) adequate health care and access to
same, (4) in-home supportive care and (5) youth crime prevention. Relative to
adequate transportation for seniors, an area within that is the door-to-door
frail elderly. Dial-A-Ride does not address this group. If it is possible to
keep these seniors in their homes they do not need to be institutionalized.
Muriel Nelson, Senior Citizens' Commission. One of the overall goals of the
SCC is to support the City's elderly in their efforts to stay alive, be well
cared for and continue living in their homes as long as possible.
Transportation means access to all of the services the seniors need.
Steve Swaim. CTSA, as well as Dial-A-Ride and other transportation providers,
especially on fixed route systems, are not dealing with the needs of the frail
elderly. The City has a contract with CTSA to provide transportation for TLC
(Transportation, Lunch, Counseling) participants, but other seniors who want
to go shopping or have doctors' appointments have no viable means of
transportation. Staff is in the process of assessing the need by surveys, as
well as through a series of three public forums, to find out exactly what the
need is. Staff believes the outcome will reveal that there is, in fact, such
an unmet need.
Upon questioning by Council Members additional discussion followed relative to
transportation needs with further input by staff and Gommunity Services Board
Member Jackte Terrell, who gave further insight to the problem.
June Lowry. The second priority is homeless and affordable housing.
Marjorie Rothrock, CSB. She is not an authority on affordable housing but
just those agencies she has worked with. Halcyon is one such agency and she
thanked the Council for assisting with that project. At a recent Halcyon
Board meeting, the discussion revolved around the need for more shelter. At
present, ten families can be accommodated at one time. They have motels
filled with homeless families and also the mentally t11. There are also
alcoholics, single men and single women who are in need of shelter. They want
to expand and have another shelter and it is hoped that can be accomplished in
another year. It is something that cannot Just be done by the private
sector. Another housing problem is overcrowding in apartments with landlords
charging by the head. It is a subject which comes up constantly at their
human needs network meetings. There are the working poor as well. Another

AdJourn_e_d Re~_l._a_r__Me_ettniz of May 1. 1990
issue is that of child education in homeless families. Although schools are
doing a good job, there are families who do not know of the program and there
is no money to go out and canvass for these children.
June Lowry. Another problem under affordable housing is people living in
apartments and in order to meet their needs, both parents work, leaving the
children to themselves, which creates problems after school and in the
evening. They have seen this in areas where there is overcrowding, such as
the Jeffrey-Lynn area and other areas in Anaheim that are like Jeffrey-Lynn.
There are too many people living in a small area and because of it there are
code enforcement problems and police problems.
Jacquelyn Terrell. The City has to evaluate some type of facility for the
homeless who want to be homeless - a place where they can shower and clean up,
where soap and towels are available. Those people are now in the parks,
sleeping on the park tables.
June Lowry. With reference to adequate health care and access to same, the
agencies presently in Anaheim are doing a good job. The University of
California Irvine on Romneya has a health project where they work with
indigent people and the Orange County Center for health works on a sliding
scale basis. There is a need for better pre-natal care. It is a problem they
may have to address and look at in the future.
Another concern/priority is in-home supportive care. It is a situation where
the frail elderly cannot take care of themselves entirely but still want to
remain independent. Their meals are supplied by Meals-On-Wheels or TLC. Home
Helping Hands helps in bathing them and cleans their house once a week. By
allowing them to stay in their homes, they remain productive members of
society. If institutionalized, they shrink away from life and some say they
would rather die.
Murtel Nelson, SCC. Her work is with the congregate meals centers throughout
the county and the three in Anaheim. Many a senior has said they are glad
they have a reason to get up, dress, put on makeup and go someplace. If they
did not have that opportunity they say they would die. Also, the supportive
programs for the homebound are important not only to get a meal or two but
also to have contact with at least one person a day. These people are trained
to know any differences in the person they are attending. The frail senior
needs a whole range of supportive services to keep them in their homes. When
they go into a facility, their independence, self esteem and everything else
suffers. It is less costly to bring the services to them than putting them in
a home.
June Lowry. This last year, Feedback Foundation, which the Council helps
fund, served 52,000 in-home meals and 55,600 congregate lunches (at TLC sites)
and in addition have served breakfast at two sites as well.
She then moved to the fifth priority - youth crime prevention. Prevention is
better than treatment after the fact. If they can help young people before
451

Adjourned Regular Meeting of May 1. 1990
they get into trouble, it is far better than after and this is done through
agencies such as Youth Employment Services.
Betty Vton, CSB. She is Chairman of Youth Employment Services. They find
jobs for young people between the ages of 14 and 24. She then explained how
the program works and its benefits to the community.
June Lowry. The task force called Project S A Y is involved in youth crime
prevention. There are various nonprofit agencies and groups that work within
that framework, such as the YMCA, the Boys and Girls Club and Turning Point -
each working with the idea of prevention.
Marge Rothrock, Brian Crow and Jackie Terrell then spoke on the benefits of
Project S A Y. The task force works on gang problems, graffiti, outreach
workers in the parks, etc. It is a positive force in the community.
June Lowry. Another area they wish to discuss is what they see as present
needs for this year. They have already met with various agencies which have
come before the Board. At this time they are not ready for a proposal, or to
ask about money. She then deferred to Rick Gastill, Chairman of the Funding
Subcommittee.
Rick Gastill, CSB. He has been involved in the Funding Subcommittee for the
last three years. He then explained the thoroughness with which the Board
Members become involved in the process, their knowledge of the agencies and
the investment of many hours of review and research that go into the process.
He briefed how the funding procedure has grown, the criteria used in
determining what agencies will be funded, etc. This year they looked at how
the requests fit into the priority needs of the City as well as looking at
some of the agencies that have historically proven to be providing a vital
need that would continue to require some level of funding because, if stopped,
it would cause problems. One of the other possibilities they opened up this
year is the prospect of being pro-active if necessary. If the agencies do not
meet all of the priority needs, there is a possibility of going out and taking
a portion of the $200,000 allocated to see if somebody would want to fill a
gap that has not been spontaneously met.
June Lowry. She clarified that if they did not use all of the $200,000, they
could issue a request for a proposal to meet a specific need they felt was not
being met by the requesting agencies. It would then come to the Council as a
separate matter.
In concluding, Mrs. Lowry asked Members of either the Senior Citizens'
Commission or the Community Services Board if there were any other matters to
bring to the Council's attention at this informational meeting; there was no
response.
Mayor Hunter. He outlined the five needs identified - transportation for
seniors/frail elderly, homeless and affordable housing, health care and access
to same, in-home supportive care and youth crime prevention.

Council Members then gave their comments and input or posed questions for
purposes of clarification which were answered by Mrs. Lowry and/or staff,
during which Mr. Swaim emphasized that the five priorities discussed this
evening do have the consensus of all three groups, the Senior Citizens'
Commission, Community Services Board and Block Grant groups. Relative to the
Block Grant funding process, the impetus of the recommendations start with the
neighborhood target areas. The needs within those neighborhoods oftentimes
are the same needs experienced City-wide, but sometimes they are not.
Before closing, Mrs. Lowry commended Steve Swatm and his staff for the time
and effort they put forth in the overall process.

CITY OF ANAHEIM IN SUPPORT OF PROPOSITION 111.
All, 162/%42; ORDINANCE NO, 5128 RELATING TO SMOKING IN PUBLIC PLACES:
Amending Section 6.30.050 of Chapter 6.30 of Title 6 of the Anaheim Municipal
Code relating to smoking in public places.
Sharon Ericson, representing the Anaheim Municipal Employees Association
(AMEA). She is a representative on the Health Council and two other people on
the Health Council were also present. She did not attend the last two Health
Council meetings and would like to know exactly what the subject Ordinance
provides.
City Attorney Jack White. The Ordinance and accompanying Resolution, if
adopted by the Council, would have the effect of prohibiting smoking within
the Civic Center building except within that certain area designated as
Lunchroom B on the ground floor. All other smoking in the interior of the
building would be prohibited.
Sharon Ericson. She was not aware this was coming to the Council tonight and
would like it removed because there are a lot of employees very much against
this who would like to come and speak. AMEA abstained on the voting at the
Health Council because they are right in the middle. Everybody is going into
Lunchroom B now and complaining that there is not enough room. If nobody can
smoke anywhere else, it will be even more of a problem. She previously talked
to the Chairman of the Health Council that there should be at least another
location. Otherwise there will be employees smoking outside of City Hall
which will not look good and there will be grievances because they are going
to be out there too long. The proposal is too prohibitive.
City Manager James Ruth noted that Mr. Mendoza , Chairman of the Health
Council, was in the audience and perhaps can address the matter. He has not
spoken with Mr. Mendoza since this matter was initiated before he became City
Manager but he did believe there was an agreement on this.
Sharon Ericson. Most of the representatives on the Health Council do not
smoke and she does not smoke either. When she talked to former City Manager
Simpson at the time he was in a stand-offish position also. She was not at
the last Health Council meeting but the two people in the audience who are on
the Council along with herself were there and they do not remember discussion
saying it was going to come to Council yet.
George Mendoza, Chairman, Health Council. This issue has been under
discussion for a couple of years and it needs some resolution. Mrs. Ericson
was not present at the last meeting but he had talked to her by phone. He
felt he gave her plenty of opportunity to buffer the situation in any way
which she did by abstaining again. In the Health Council all work units but
one supported the issue. Their support is for many reasons, healthwtse,
financial reasons, etc. Anaheim is an aggressive City and it is necessary to
take an aggressive stand. He is representing the Health Council and of all
458
58
City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 8. 1990, 5;30 p,M,
the employee work units represented, 90% of that representation supports the
proposal. If the issue is postponed, it will just continue as an issue; It
is in the best interests of the people who work in the Civic Center. He is a
non-smoker, does not work in the building, but is a fire fighter and knows the
detriments to health of smoking and the escalating costs. It should be passed
and it is the recommendation of the Health Council. Answering Councilwoman
Kaywood, he stated that the unit which abstained was the AMEA. He understands
their position.
Councilwoman Kaywood noted that in June of 1989 a survey of employees was
taken in the Civic Center and the vote was two to one in favor of making the
Civic Center building smoke free.
The ordinance was offered for introduction as part of the Consent Calendar and
will be on the agenda May 15th for adoption.
Al2. 158: Authorizing payment of the.relocation claim for Rancho Del Rio
Stables in an amount not to exceed $1,945.15 for work completed to date.
Al3, 153; AMENDING pERSONNEL RULE 23 - ADOPTING NEW PERSONNEL RULE 33 - POST
RETIREMENT MEDICAL BENEFITS: Amending Personnel Rule 23 as set forth in
Resolution No. 88R-166 and adopting new Personnel Rule 33 pertaining to post
retirement medical benefits. Submitted was report dated May 1, 1990 from the
Human Resources Director, Dave Morgan, recommending approval of the subject.
Sharon Ericson, President, AMEA. The issue of retirement medical benefits is
before the Council once again. All the arguments she presented two weeks ago
(see minutes of April 24, 1990) are still valid. She has asked management on
several occasions what the urgency is to push this matter through before all
represented groups have negotiated their contracts, but no one has been able
to give her an answer. She is not trying to keep anyone from getting their
benefits. All employees from labor to the City Manager should have the same
medical retirement benefits, but she does not feel it is right to hand one
group these benefits while expecting the other to negotiate items away in
order to receive the same benefits. It should not be used as a bargaining
chip. AMEA has the largest group of employees in the Anaheim work force
(800). They are still extremely upset that the IBEW maintained their original
benefits while the rest of the employee units did not. The cost of the
subject benefit is so insignificant that the Council should not hesitate to
give it to all. The Human Resources Director said the benefits were a
blueprint that would most likely eventually go to all employees. If that is
the case, she strongly urges that they give it to all employees now and they
can then negotiate up from there. They do agree that this is not the proper
forum for negotiations. Employees deserve better treatment than this.
Mayor Hunter. He is going to vote as he did two weeks ago. Those who need
the benefit most are going to be the last in line to get it. There should be
a level playing field by opening up negotiations with all bargaining units and
the issue put on the table for everyone instead of just one group and then
using it as a bargaining chip; Councilman Ehrle agreed.

Al4. 135/152: REOUEST FOR PROPOSAL - SURPLUS CITY PROPERTY - ANAHEIM
GOLF COURSE: Authorizing staff to prepare a Request for Proposal to develop
the one-acre Anaheim Hills Golf Course parking lot into a compatible
commercial development. Submitted was report dated May 2, 1990 from John
Roche, Director of Maintenance, recommending approval of the subject.
Mr. Patrick Pepper, Chairman, Anaheim Hills Citizens' Coalition. He asked
that the item be removed from the consent calendar. Over the last two years,
the Coalition has been working with City staff on the one-acre golf course
parking lot site and the 20 acres across the street. On April 17, 1990, the
issue came before the Council on the consent calendar (item Al7), which
included the concept of retaining the 20 acres of surplus golf course property
on the opposite side of Nohl Ranch Road as open space. The item today
contains no mention of the 20 acres, but only the development on the one-acre
site. He is asking that the Council continue this item for a couple of weeks
to allow him and other members of the community to continue working with City
staff on the matter. On April 17th it was noted that funding was found to
repair the golf course channelizatton which was the reason stated in the
Environmental Impact Report for selling the 20 acres. He discussed the matter
with the City Manager this morning who told him he has other funding
identified for repairing the golf course. There is no apparent need to sell
the 20 acres. He reiterated his request that the matter be continued in orde~
to discuss this with staff and to combine the items once again because they
were combined in the Environmental Impact Report.
Councilwoman Kaywood noted that the item Mr. Pepper referred to on the April
17, 1990 agenda was not acted upon but removed from the agenda at that time.
Patrick Pepper. The point is, only the second item is before the Council
tonight. The two issues had always been combined and he wants to see them
combined again.
Councilman Pickler. He does not believe one has any bearing on the other;
Patrick Pepper. If other funding has been found and the reason for selling
the 20 acres has gone away, he questioned why not put them together.
Councilman Pickler. He does not know if it has gone away. Staff has not come
to the Council with the proposal as yet. This is a Request for Proposal for
the parking lot and has nothing to do with the channel or the 20 acres.
Patrick Pepper. He reiterated and emphasized that they have been working with
City staff for two years and the two items have always been together. All he
is asking is for a couple of weeks to talk to staff. The first notice he had
that the item was on the agenda today was the letter he received from John
Roche on Friday.
Mayor Hunter. He feels the concern is that the report also indicates that the
development of the parking lot will also provide a public meeting space. If
the idea is to construct a golf course clubhouse, and a health club similar to
Sequoia that would have a multiple use of a public community meeting place,
460

City Hall, Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 8. 1990. 5:30 P.M.
and if it is to use the facility as a substitute for any proposed community
center in the hills, there should be input. He asked if this was going.to be
used as some type of community center to placate the Anaheim Hills residents.
City Manager James Ruth. His understanding in discussing the matter with
Chris Jarvi, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services, this was
not intended to supplant, but to augment. It is recognizing that there is a
need for a community center and a critical need for meeting space. This was
to augment the need for a meeting place and not to replace the need for a
community center. They are still looking at various alternative sites, but
there is critical and immediate need for meeting space. The RFP conceptually
gives the opportunity to say there is interest in developing from the private
sector standpoint on the parking lot and these are the kinds of things that we
can do. They would always go back to the community with the public hearing
process to give them an opportunity to react.
Further discussion followed between Council and Mr. Pepper, during which Mr.
Pepper explained for Councilman Daly that he has no problem with the concept
of the RFP. The development of the whole area, the parking lot and the 20
acres, was combined in the Environmental Impact Report. He had a discussion
with staff today on that. They could separate the one-acre out of the
Environmental Impact Report. He understands Environmental Impact Report No.
279 is now obsolete. Right now they are to the point of waiting for responses
to their comments.
City Manager Ruth. He clarified that the drainage issue is a policy issue and
will be considered by the Council during budget negotiations. If the Council
chose, they could consider the disposition of the 20 acres at that time, but
the Council can consider it at any time.
John Roche, Director of Maintenance, clarified that relative to Fire Station
No. 9, it is not part of the 20 acres. It is a separate parcel.
Councilman Pickler. He has a problem continuing the matter for a couple of
weeks. They are considering putting something on the golf course parking lot
to enhance it. If it is tied in with the concerns expressed by Mr. Pepper, he
would go along with that but he feels staff has cleared the air that it has no
bearing whatsoever.
Mayor Hunter, He would like to see more focus on what they are ~oin~ to do
with the 20 acres - if they are goln~ to build a community center and where
that will be located ultimately. It is a difficult issue, the same issue is
being faced in the downtown area - if, where, and where the funds will come
from. He is going to vote against the recommendation.
Councilman Ehrle. He is also going to vote no, because he feels they have
time. It is not so critical that it has to be decided tonight. He would like
to have more information.

APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Dave Sobodos. The appeal is based on two of the conditions
imposed by the Planning Commission - No. 5 and No. 6, having to
do with stadium area fees. The proposal is not an
intensification of use and there is no new construction
involved. It is an existing building. They are going to pave
part of the parking lot with concrete and run small go-karts in
that area.
City Attorney White. As a matter of convenience to the
permittees, the Planning Commission often puts conditions on
those permits that are mere recitals of ordinance requirements.
Conditions 5 and 6 are such an instance where the Municipal Code
requires these fees to be paid and the elimination from the
Conditional Use Permit of those two conditions and have no
effect on the code requirement. It would still be in the
ordinance. The ordinance provides that the fees are due where
there is a modification in the use if it is changed to more
intensive use. On the staff level, staff can be convinced that
this is not the case and the fees would not be attached. The
only alternative the Council would have would be to amend the
ordinance.
Mr. Sobodos asked if this would then be a matter he would take
up with staff as to whether or not it would apply to his project.
Mayor Hunter. It should be worked out on the staff level
whether or not it would be applicable. The Council does not
have the authority without amending the ordinance and it would
require a new ordinance.
Dave Sobodos. Another point is that one of the requirements
under Condition 16 is that there be a four foot high monument
style sign. The ordinance for the property is more lenient than
that, allowing for a seven foot high sign with a 350 square foot
face.
467
47
City Hall, Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES May 8. 1990, 5;30 P,M,
Councilman Pickler. The agenda notes that signs are to remain
as they are existing. He asked for clarification if that was
the action taken by the Planning Commission.
Annika Santalahtt. That was picked up from the action agenda.
When she prepared the resolution, she did not pick that up. The
Commission specifically deleted another condition, but the
condition Mr. Sobodos referred to, Condition no. 16, does impose
a limitation on the sign size. The Commission may have intended
that and it was not clear enough. This is a Use Permit approved
for three years which she believes ties into the lease of the
property.
Dave Sobodos. They are purchasing the property, but it is based
on the widening of I-5.
Annika Santalahti. Her recollection was that the Commission was
concerned and did want the monument type sign rather than free
standing. Under the three year regulation, when the three years
are over, the sign issue would be readdressed at that time.
Councilman Pickler. I{e explained for Mr. Sobodos that they
could let him use it as it is now and in three years he would
have to come back. At that time they might want him to go to a
monument sign or downstze the sign or leave it as is.
Councilwoman Kaywood. She pointed out in the staff report that
staff considered the use to be inappropriate and incompatible
with the emerging business center, recommending that it not be
approved.
Councilman Pickler. In talking to Planning Department Staff and
the Traffic Engineer, Paul Singer, they did not feel it was
going to affect the area that much. His (Pickler's) concern was
relative to traffic.
John Lower, Principal Traffic Engineer. Caltrans is proceeding
with the widening of I-5 a~ far as alignment. There is accurate
information on what parcels would be involved, but not accurate
information on how much of those parcels would be affected. He
also believes that the Environmental Impact Report for the
widening project has been approved.
Councilman Daly. He shares Councilwoman Kaywood's concerns. He
is not certain it is compatible with what they are trying to do
in the area on both sides of the freeway.
Donald L. Baggett, 230 Morning Canyon Road, Corona Del Mar.
During the nine months the property has been on the market,
468
48
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 8. 1990. 5:30 P.M.
there have been hotel, office building and restaurant developers
as well as others all showing an interest until they are =old of
the short period of life for the property due to the widening of
I-5 and Anaheim Boulevard. From the plans he has seen, it will
be a total taking of the property if the freeway is widened to
12 lanes and with the widening of Anaheim Boulevard. Only the
buyer present this evening, using the existing buildings and
with minor changes, sees it as a viable investment. It will
keep the property from becoming a blight in this highly visible
freeway location. If not, most likely it will sit vacant and
abandoned. He relayed instances of trespassing on the property
since it has been vacant. The short term use is a practical one
and will keep the property occupied, maintain a revenue stream
for the City and reduce the chances for more vandalism. It will
keep the area neat, clean and landscaped until widening of the

APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Dick De Beikes, De Beikes Investment. This is a complicated
piece of property. There is a long term lease on the property
with Knollwood Restaurant. They have been working with several
items trying to address those to get a property that works for
all parties concerned with the site, Knollwood Restaurant, Union
Federal Savings and Cinemapolis Theatre. It requires a lot of
compromise on all parts. Until the last couple of weeks he
thought they had a site plan that met everyone's needs. He
found out that the needs of Mr. Sanborn (Cinemapolis) were still
not addressed. He is, therefore, going to request a continuance
of the public hearing. They have worked hard with Mr. Sanborn
in the last few weeks to come up with a site plan alternative.
He would like to submit a conceptual plan so that the Council
can see it tonight, but then would like a continuance for a few
weeks. They want to find out from the Council if there are
471
43
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 8, 1990, 5;30 P,M,
specific issues, since the Council requested a review of the
item.
Mayor Hunter. He feels that Mr. De Beikes has addressed the
issue - that he is going to work with his neighbors. If there
is no one in the audience who objects to a continuance, that
would be appropriate. The concern of the Council is that the
developer work with Mr. Sanborn and other retailers. The
Council knows that ingress and egress off of La Palma and
Imperial are horrendous.
Councilwoman Kaywood. The setback adjacent to Imperial is
required to be 50 feet and the request is for 21 feet. She has
a big problem with that.
Councilman Pickler. He wants to eliminate any look of a strip
center. It is a prime area and he wants it to remain that way.
Bruce Sanborn/Ctnemapolts. The plan the applicant worked out in
the last couple of weeks is the plan they had hoped for when
Cinemapolts was built. It is an open feeling, but to get that
feeling they need Knollwood to be in the setback, as well as
another building. It makes the two parcels look like one. It
is complicated since there would have to be a land swap, so that
Cinnemapolts ends up with parking in a different configuration,
so that they can build where the theatre land is now, and in
order to make it look like one center. They are pleased with
the new plan.
MOTION; Councilman Hunter moved to continue the public hearing on
Reclassification No. 89-90-48 and Conditional Use Permit No. 3253 to Tuesday,
June 5, 1990. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

B2, VARIANCE NO. 3924 - REOUEST FOR RETROACTIVE EXTENSION OF TIME TO COMPLY
WITH CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
REQUESTED BY: Brinkley Hulin, 820 North nickel Street, Anaheim, California
92805
LOCATION: 820 North Dickel Street.
Petitioner requests an extension of time to comply with conditions of approval.
ACTION TAKEN BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR:
Extension of Time on Variance No. 3924 GRANTED, until March 23, 1991.
END OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR ITEMS.
B3. VARIANCE NO. 3746 REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME:
REQUESTED BY: Farouk J. Kubba, Diversified Projects, Incorporated, 23201 Lake
Center Drive, Suite 200, E1 Toro, California 92630
LOCATION/REQUEST: The property is located at 1925 West Lincoln Avenue. The
petitioner is requesting an Extension of Time on Variance No. 3746 due to
delays in obtaining financing. Variance No. 3746 is to permit waiver of
maximum fence height, maximum structural height and minimum distance between
buildings to construct a 184-unit, 38-foot high, 2 to 4-story apartment
complex.
This matter was continued from the meeting of April 24, 1990 to this date to
allow staff time to review revised plans.
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator. The Council received a staff report
that is supplemental to the time extension staff report in which staff
recommended that the time extension be granted, subject to modifications
reflective of the new Deck Ordinance adopted after the project was approved.
In the May 1, 1990 supplemental report, she indicated that the unit count
decreased. The architect for the developer is in the audience and can clarify
it is still a 184 unit project. Other changes relate to the change in the
distribution of bedroom types resulting in a smaller square footage over all,
a smaller site coverage and modification in the parking requirements. As a
result, there is an increase in the property line setback from the north from
&O £eet, adding a parking bay £or about a 60 £oot ~etbaek. Overall ~arking
space is increased from 460 to 491. It is a slightly less intense project.
Staff recommends that the revised plans be considered consistent with the
original approval on this project.
Councilman Daly wanted to know if the developer had done anything else in the
City.
Phtlltp Turhorst, Architect with McLaren, Vasquez and Partners, the original
architect. The new developer and his partners, to his knowledge, have not
473
41
City Hall. Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 8. 1990. 5:30 P.M.
built anything in Anaheim. The project did not change when the ownership
changed. It is essentially the same project. The decrease in the number of
bedrooms came about as a marketing perception by the new client, that there
should be fewer three bedroom units, since they would be more difficult to
rent. The project is three levels of apartments over one level of basement
garage. There are varying levels along the western portion which abuts the
single family homes. That is the lower portion of the building where there
are two levels, town homes over the basement garage.
Councilman Daly. He remembers following the project when it came to the
City. There were many things he did not think were good about the project at
that time, including the need for a traffic light; Mayor Hunter stated he
believed the Council voted for a traffic light, since that was a main point of
contention.
Councilman Daly. He is going to vote against the extension. It is a big
project on an important piece of land. He feels that steps can be taken to
improve the project. He cannot support the project as proposed.
Councilman Pickler. Before making a final decision, he would like a
presentation by the Planning Department relative to the project. He recalls
at the time it was approved that they were not going to deviate from the finaI
plan.
Councilman Daly moved to continue the request for an extension of time on
Variance No. 3746 for 30 days or to June 5, 1990, in order to receive a status
update on the project from staff.
Before a vote was taken, Annika Santalahtt surmised that what the Council
would like to see is to have the architect/property owners submit a site plan
more clearly understood.
Councilwoman Kaywood. With the decrease of the 57 bedrooms, she wonders with
less people density if it would take away the need and agreement that there be
an additional traffic light which is a problem on Lincoln.
Annika Santalahti. Staff will look at that as well. She does not believe
that that reduction would be great enough, because of the residents' concern,
and that condition was added at the Council meeting in response to the
residents' concerns. The applicant has not indicated that they desire to
change that.
Councilwoman Kaywood. If access can be taken out to Muller Street it would
also take away from congestion and traffic on the residential street to the
west.
Annika Santalahtt. A modification like that would be greater than what they
have submitted.
474
City Hall, Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 8. 1990. 5:30 P.M,
City Attorney White. This request for an extension of time is not, nor should
it be, a public hearing. If the extension is denied and the apRlicant wishes
to proceed with the project or a modified version they would need to file a
new application which would require a new public hearing. The only issue now
or if it is continued to another time would be whether or not the Council
wishes to grant an extension of time based upon the same general project
previously approved, or whether there has been a change in circumstances,
which would now indicate an extension should be denied and any new project
would require a new application. The continuation would not be a public
hearing but a presentation by staff and based on the information given, the
Council could grant or deny the extension.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED.
179: ORDINANCE NO, 5127 - ADOPTION:

108; APPLICATION FOR POOL ROOM PERMIT - 1827 WEST KATELLA AVENUE:
Application for a Pool Room Permit submitted by Alberto Flores to operate a
pool room with three pool tables at 1827 West Katella Avenue. Submitted was
report dated May 1, 1990 from the Code Enforcement Division, recommending that
the applicant be allowed to maintain the pool tables at his business
establishment.
Mayor Hunter. There is a recommendation of approval by staff and the Police
Department reports no problem after their investigation.
Joel Ftck, Planning Director. The three pool tables have been there and have
been in operation since 1987. A check was run through the Police Department

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 8, 1990, 5;30 P,M,
and there is no problem.
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator. She confirmed for Councilman Pickler
that the location is on the north side of Katella on the northeast corner of
Easy Way and Katella, opposite the City of Garden Grove.
City Attorney White also confirmed that a Pool Room Permit is revocable for
violation of any law or City Ordinance, or if it is conducted in any manner
that would be detrimental to the City.
MOTION: Councilman Hunter moved to approve the application for a Pool Room
Permit submitted by Alberto Flores to operate a pool room with three pool
tables at 1827 West Katella Avenue. Councilman Ehrle seconded the motion.
MOTION CARRIED.
106/150; FEEDBACK FOUNDATION EMERGENCY FUNDING REOUEST: To consider using
Council Contingency Funds to provide the Feedback Foundation a one-time
emergency grant of $17,000. Submitted was report dated April 30, 1990 from
Chris Jarvi, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services,
recommending that the Council consider utilizing Council Contingency Funds to
provide the Foundation with the funds needed for the two TLC (Transportation,'
Lunch and Counselling) sites in Anaheim, to assist in the foundation's total
program deficit of $200,000. Funds are being requested not only of Anaheim,
but the County and other cities in order to prevent the nutrition programs
from being eliminated for the month of 3une.
Mayor Hunter acknowledged the contingent of seniors who were present in the
Chamber audience on the issue.
Councilman Hunter moved to allocate $17,000 from Council Contingency Funds to
provide Feedback Foundation a one-time emergency grant as requested.
Councilman Pickler seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
ITEMS OF pUBLIC INTEREST; Bill Ericson, 301 East North Street. Saturday, May
5, 1990, he drove along with John Poole, the Code Enforcement Manager, during
a clean up campaign to rid the City of graffiti. He explained for the Council
what the program entailed and how successful and positive it was.
Sharon Ericson, President, Anaheim Municipal Employees Association. She asked
for clarification on Item All on today's agenda relating to the proposed
ordinance regarding limiting smoking in the Civic Center.
City Attorney White clarified that the ordinance was not adopted tonight, but
only given first reading. It will be on next Tuesday's Council Agenda unless
staff is instructed otherwise.
114/173: FEASIBILITY OF EXPEDITING CITY'S MAJOR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS:
Councilman Daly. He has discussed with staff the prospect of the City taking
476
Cttv Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 8. 1990, 5;30
the lead on some very important projects to Anaheim such as the rebuilding of
the various interchanges along the I-5 corridor. Caltrans cannot say with any
certainty when it will start buying up the necessary right-of-way to widen and
rebuild the freeway including the major bridge and intersection projects the
City so desperately needs at Katella, Harbor, Lincoln and Euclid, just as
examples. There is a collective "wish list" for those transportation
improvements which takes years to design, engineer and construct. He is
suggesting that Anaheim fund the money rather than waiting years. He is
recommending also that staff evaluate the feasibility and report back as to
how it might take place, a key being is Galtrans willing to agree to pay
Anaheim back on any money spent.
Mayor Hunter. He feels it is a good idea to have staff come back with such a
report. Staff could first indicate their priorities. Pacifico and Grescent
are two other improvements that are critical, especially Pacifico, since it is
such a critical part of the whole CR Zone among the Convention Center,
Disneyland and the Stadium and the prospective Arena.
Council Members Kaywood and Pickler agreed that a key element in getting some
of these improvements accomplished is the passage of Propositions 108, 111 and
116 on the 3une ballot.
ADJOURNMENT; Councilman Hunter moved to adjourn. Councilwoman Kaywood
seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (7:50 p.m.)
