il4: LETTER FROM CITY OF TUSTIN -ALCOHOLAND DRUG RECOVERY FACILITI~:. To
receive and file letter dated July 20, 1988 from the City of Tustin re£a'~ing
to the operation and administration of alcohol and drug recovery facilities
licensed by the State Department of Social Services.
Mayor Bay. The Tustin City Council is bringing this issue to the League of
Cities with the hope that a resolution will be passed asking for changes at
the state level concerning the matter. He has been very concerned relative to
the state taking away local prerogatives on control of what is put into
783
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 9, 1988, 1:30 P.M.
neighborhoods within the City's jurisdiction. He still feels strongly the
state has overridden local control in too many ways and this is just one
example.
Councilman Bay thereupon moved that the Council not only receive and file the
letter but also agree with and support Tustin on their position on the issues
involved. He referred to the five points listed by the Tustin City Council in
their proposed resolution (see resolution attached to letter dated July 20,
1988) and also referred to the listing of the Department of Social Services
Community Care Facilities Information System Directory report which included
community care facilities in Anaheim. He was surprised to see how many are in
existence in Anaheim and commented that previously when he wanted to know how
many such facilities there were, was told that staff could not get that kind
of information. He is not implying this is a major problem, but it is a
proposal where the state sets up laws to overrule local control and the reason
for making his motion. Councilman Ehrle seconded the motion for purposes of
discussion.
Councilwoman Kaywood. She is against the motion. There have been no problems
with community care facilities in Anaheim. The alternative is tb~t either the
state runs the facilities, or have everybody living on the street. She
believes with Tustin the concern is one of management. To create a problem
where none exists is the wrong way to go.
Councilman Pickler. He would like the motion tabled to a future date.
League meeting is to be held on Thursday and he would like to see what
develops. The matter should be continued for at least two weeks.
The
Councilman Ehrle. He has no problem with a continuance but feels at some
point it is necessary to let the state know that the City has some rights as
well.
Mayor Bay noted that a further concern of Tustin is that they cannot get
answers to their complaints because two different state departments are
involved.
A vote was them taken on the motion to continue the matter but amended to one
week, A~gust 16, i98§. Councilman Hunter was absent. MOTION CARRIED.
101: 1993 NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE (NFL) SUPERBOWL SITE SELECTION: Submitted
was report dated August 1, 1988 from the Stadium General Manager, Greg Smith,
recommending that the Council authorize Stadium management to participate in
preparation and presentation of a Southern California regional proposal to the
National Football League in an effort to bring the 1993 Superbowl to Southern
California.
Councilman Pickler. He removed the item from the Consent Calendar since he
would like more information assuming that action can be continued for one
week. If the City is again going to proceed, he wants to look at this in more
detail.
784
I'4.6
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 9~ 1988~ 1:30 P.M.
Greg Smith, Stadium General Manager, stated there would be no problem with a
one week's continuance.
MOTION: Councilman Pickier moved to continue the decision on authorizing
Stadium management to participate in an effort to bring the 1993 Superbowl to
Southern California for one week, August 16, 1988. Councilman Ehrle seconded
the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Mayor Bay stated he was very concerned after the last
time the City spent a great deal of money contending for the Superbowl to be
played in Anaheim and this will be the third attempt. Following the last
presentation the City made in San Diego, he stated then that he would never
vote for the City to spend another nickel to be a party to the political games
of the NFL in trying get the Superbowl in Anaheim and he still strongly feels
that way. He does not intend to support any move at this time for the City to
get involved in attempting to be part of that "seller's" market.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion of continuance. Councilman
Hunter was absent. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilwoman Kaywood left the Council Chamber. (2:25 p.m.)
130: NOTICE TO IMPOSE SANCTIONS - ML MEDIA PARTNERS, L.P. MULTI-VISION CABLE
TV: City Manager Bob Simpson explained that this item and the need to act on
it' arose after posting of the agenda on Friday, August 5, 1988 at 3:15 p.m.
Action by the Council will require a waiver of the Brown Act.
Assistant City Attorney Bob Franks confirmed for the Mayor that the Brown Act
can be waived by a 2/3's vote of the legislative body. If less than 2/3's are
present, it would then take a unanimous vote of those Council Members present.
MOTION: On motion by Councilman Bay, seconded by Councilman Pickler, the
Anaheim City Council determined that the need to act on the following item
arose after the posting of the agenda for this meeting, on Friday, August 5,
1988, at 3:15 p.m.; and consequently waived the Brown Act requirement relative
to posting the item on the printed agenda. Councilman Hunter was absent.
Councilwoman Kaywood was temporarily absent. MOTION CARRIED.

and to respond to the Notice of Appeal from MLMedia Partners, L.P., by
scheduling a public hearing within 30 days to consider the appeal as
recommended in memorandum dated August 9, 1988 from the City Manager, Bob

The Mayor declared Ordinance No. 4946 duly passed and adopted.
127/142: PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY CHARTER: To discuss potential
changes to City Charter to be placed on November 1988 ballot. This matter was
discussed at the Council meetings held starting May 3i, 1988 to this date,
today being the last day to place any additional measures on the November,
1988 ballot. City Clerk Leonora Sohl announced that the only additional items
are the arguments on the issues already approved to be placed on the November
ballot, i.e., technical "housekeeping" amendments to the Charter, Storm Drain
Bond Issue and the Critical Intersection Bond Issue. Drafts are presently
being prepared for the Council to review. The deadline is August 19, i988.
It was determined that there were no additional measures or proposed Charter
Amendments to be brought forward at this time; therefore, the item can now be
removed from the Council agenda.
ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST:
Sonja Grewal, speaking on behalf of the Executive Board of the Anaheim Hills
Citizen Coalition (AHCC), referred to the issue brought to the Council's
attention several weeks ago regarding maintenance of the Olive Hills Park (see
minutes of July 19, 1988). She thanked City Maintenance and the Parks and
Recreation Department for the steps taken to remedy the situation. She also
learned that the Parks and Recreation Department has considered the
possibility of selling the site for residential. To their knowledge, that
possible action has not been directed by the City Council. Staff has been
more than cooperative in sharing documents relating to the issue and have
emphasized that public comment would be invited if and when there is a public
hearing to amend the General Plan. (Also see letter dated August, 1988 to the
City Council from the AHCC Executive Board - made a part of the record).
To even consider that the land is no longer needed for recreational purposes
considering its historical background and the Canyon Area General Plan is
wrong. Before concluding her presentation, Ms. Grewal also read portions of
letter dated August 3, 1988 from Virginia Chester, President of the Sea & Sage
Audubon Society (made a part of the record) urging the Council to reconsider
its plans to abolish the park. Letter dated August 9, 1988 from Dallas
Pierce, President of the Rocky Point Community Association was also submitted
opposin~ such a sale. Finally, Ms. Grewal submitted petitions containing
approximately 1,425 signature~ from users of the tennis courts and the area in
and around the park asking that the Council issue a policy statement to ~he
Parks and Recreation Director to immediately cease evaluation or consi~ '~tion
of Olive Hills Park and to immediately seek viable financial alternatf for
enhancement of the site. She also asked, with the Council's permissio
those present on the issue to stand (approximately 25 people were pres.
approximately l0 of which were not Anaheim residents since the park is c' ~e
borderline of Anaheim and Orange).
Mayor Bay. He is not aware of any proposed sale of Olive Hills Park nor has
the Council been presented with any such proposal from staff.
Councilwoman Kaywood.
Recreation Commission.
She is the Council representative on the Parks and
The Commission had this information brought to them a
787
City Hall~ Anmheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 9, 1988, 1:30 P.M.
few months ago. Nothing has happened at the Commission level. Until
something is actually a Council agenda item, there may be thousands of issues
that are being studied, looked at and discussed which never come to fruition.
Too late is a problem, but too early is also a problem when there has been no
decision or recommendation made.
Gus Be
conc,
N. East Street. He addressed several issues with which he was
the City.
Melo~ _, Anaheim Political Action Committee. She first read and then
submitted letter dated August 9, 1988 (made a part of the record). The letter
explained the plight of a senior citizen mobilehome owner aided by a rent
subsidy who could not sign a 5-year park lease because of the terms and was
then told by the park owner that the owner will not accept the rent subsidy
unless the lease is signed leaving the senior citizen in a vulnerable
position. The owners have the ultimate Power to control one's life, future
and home. She asked as City leaders what the Council is doing to help.
Marshal Krupp, Chairman of the Anaheim Economic Development Board. Since he
will not be able to attend the next Council meeting when the business license
tax is again to be discussed, he will today comment on the issue as requested
by the Board. The Board has taken an action to support overhauling the
business license fees of the City but cannot support the proposal presented to
the Council by staff. The Board supports a revenue neutral approach to the
business license fee program. When the discussion and vote took place at the
last meeting of the 9-Member Board, four were absent, there were two
abstentions, two were in favor of the motion and one in opposition. The
motion was made in lieu of a request to continue the item for 30 days so that
the Board could receive information, look at the pros and cons of the issue
and come back with their findings. He reiterated they took action to support
the overhaul of the business license fee program but favor a revenue neutral
approach with two members in favor of the motion, two abstentions and one in
opposition with four members absent.
Gus Popke, 4243 Ranch Gate Road, Anaheim. He represents the 45 homes in their
Homeowners Association. He lives directly across from the Olive Hills Park
and tennis courts. He has talked to all but two or three of the homeowners
and approximately 95% want the City to keep the park and the tennis courts and
to further report that the courts are in need of re~urfaeing.
E.ECESS; Councilman Bay moved to recess for ten minutes. Councilman Pickler
seconded the motion. Councilman Hunter was absent. MOTION CAiiKIEO.

City Clerk Sohl announced that on August 8, 1988 a request had been received
from Rodolfo Montejano, attorney for the applicant, for a continuance of the
public hearing to the next available date.
Mayor Bay asked how many people were present on the issue (seven were
present). Of those, four intended to speak and only two indicated they could
be back I£ the matter was continued for two w~ek~.
Mayor Bay moved to continue the public hearing to August 30, 1988. The motion
died for lack of a second.
Bob Franks, Assistant City Attorney, clarified for Councilwoman Kaywood that
even though a continuance had been requested, it is within the discretion of
the Council to either continue or not continue the matter. If discretion is
reasonably exercised, the Council may decide to go forward with the public
hearing.

and each time it has been turned down. It is not something new. The request
for continuance was received just today and there is no opportunity to notify
anybody. Since it is within the Council's prerogative she wants the public

APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Manmett Nijjar, 3437 East Ridgeway Drive, Orange.
The only reason for the pressure regarding the proposed location
is that the adjacent property owner, Hilgenfeld Mortuary does
not want the convenience market to be there. Otherwise, he is
not asking for any special consideration. The reason the Pizza
Man was originally denied, they were asking for special
consideration on parking. The convenience market is the best
use for the location at this time. In the future, perhaps in
four years, if a big development is proposed for that area, he
will go along with the City and come back and ask what they
would like him to have on the property and he will be glad to
change the use in accordance with City plans. He is leasing the
property but can change it so there will be only one tenant in
the building in four years. He confirmed he is planning to sell
alcohol and he has never had any problem doing so in his other
locations in the City. He has over 700 signatures from his
customers which he would have brought with him today but he
thought the hearing would be continued as requested. He could
also have had 50 people present today speaking on his behalf.
His customers are Anaheim residents who patronize his stores at
2790 East Lincoln and his other store at Harbor and La Palma.
He has one of the cleanest stores in Anaheim. He has been in
business for five years and receives awards from his company for
running the cleanest stores.

City Hall, An~heim~ Ca!~fornia - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 9, 1988~ 1:30 P.M.
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator.
She clarified that the previously requested waiver of minimum
dimension of small car spaces had been eliminated in connection
with revised plans and was no longer being requested. No
waivers are requested at this time. However, regarding the
recently adopted ordinance relating to convenience market
parking when there is take-out food service, if the Council were
to consider the subject application favorably, a condition would
have to be included that would eliminate the possibility of
take-out food because the parking they now have is a straight
retail requirement. With that condition, it would not require
an additional five spaces.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION-
IN FAVOR: None.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION-
IN OPPOSITION:
Gerald Bushore, 4085 East La Palma No. C.
He is present on behalf of the Hilgenfeld family, owners of the
mortuary next door. They met with Mr. Nijjar and everyone
present expressed agreement with the property owner having the
right to develop his property but the problem is, the proposal
is the most intense use in terms of traffic. There is only one
driveway into the property which will cause people to cut across
in such a manner as to impede or impair traffic and also to
zig-zag the Hilgenfeld lot. The mortuary is a quasi-religious
building and services are being conducted all the time and they
need to be very concerned with every family that comes to them.
There are many things that could be put on the property by right
that would eliminate tb~ need to be before the Council again,
such as offices for accounting, real estate, insurance agency,
etc., which would not cause a traffic problem, nor a problem
with alcohol or litter. They are present today because the use
is something that has caused problems in the past.
Gary Field, Hilgenfeld Mortuary.
They object to the project for the aforementioned reasons and
£or traffic problem~, lack of ~paea for delivery trucks and lack
of ingress and egress into the property. It would be a
tremendous hazard to have people turn into the proposed
driveways. They object strenuously to on-sale or off-sale of
any alcoholic beverages on the property because of the increased
potential of offending the mortuary's customers with people
attending funerals and having beer cans, bottles and debris
thrown over the fence from people drinking in their cars, or in
the process of walking from the store to their cars. There will
be an increase of people parking in their lot since people other
than their customers are parking in the lot right now. They did
not tell the attorney of the leaseholder that they did not want
to see anything going in there but would like to see something
that is compatible with the area. A convenience market is not
compatible to the area and certainly not next to the mortuary.

City H:~
Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 9, 1988~ 1:30 P.M.
Joe White, 809 West Broadway.
He was invited to the meeting which took place with the property
owner. The owner only has one proposal. There are uses that
can be developed on the property for which they can obtain a
building permit without going through all this trouble. The
hardship is on the neighbors. The applicant is claiming a
hardship just because they bought the lot and only have one
single purpose or use in mind. He does not want to see a
convenience market on a downtown corner. His office faces a
Circle K and there is trash in the area all the time. There are
many things that can be developed that would be much more
compatible to this important downtown area than a convenience
market.
Ronald Bevins, 300 So. Harbor Boulevard.
He is representing his mother who owns the property immediately
to the south of the subject property separated only by a 20-foot
alley which is used for automotive repair and used car sales.
The previous application appears to be the same as the present
one. Although the Pizza Parlor has been eliminated from the
application, the plans are confusing. The EIR indicates a 2,600
square-foot building but the plans show 3,584 square feet and
still has the area in it which housed the pizza facility;
therefore, the 975 square feet is an undocumented use. The
parking situation has not changed. Hilgenfeld has a legitimate
complaint. They have been buying lots to accommodate their
parking. He also elaborated on the traffic and circulation
which would result with such a use. The 24-hour operation is
also outrageous and not even worth considering. The Planning
Commission made the findings that the use would not be
compatible, would adversely affect adjoining land uses, the size
and shape of the property is not adequate for the use and it
would be a detriment to peace, health and safety since those
were the only findings that could be made with respect to the
subject property.
SU~fl~ATION BY APPLICANT: Manmett Nijar.
Ne has just spoken with his attorney. They would like to have a
continuance to next week. His customers should have an
opportunity to explain why they support him. His supporters
should be here. He then rebutted or countered the points raised
by those in opposition. The theatre is causing traffic as well
as the detour of traffic onto Broadway because Lincoln is
closed. He will guarantee clean up of the Hilgenfeld's parking
lot if there is debris on the lot. If there are problems, he is
willing to talk to his neighbors. Beer only represents 19% to
20% of gross sales. There are only five deliveries every two
weeks which can be scheduled for early morning or late at
night. The entrance in the back of the alley will not be used
to make deliveries. It is a fire access. Regarding the 973
square feet, they will be willing to take the whole portion as
794
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 9, 1988~ 1:30 P.M.
long as they can get a commitment from the City and four years
from now he will be willing to change the whole place. The best
use is what he is proposing. It will be one convenience store.
He also feels that a full Council should be available and he
would like to have Councilman Hunter present to also listen to
his point of view.
COUNCIL ACTION:
Mayor Bay closed the public hearing.
Councilman Ehrle.
Alcohol or cleaniness or Mr. Nijar's 700 customers is not the
issue. The issues are having one driveway, a convenience market
is not the best possible use for the property, and the i,000
trips made by people coming to the applicant's present stores as
reported by him. Those are the issues. A convenience market is
not compatible to the area and what is planned for downtown
Anaheim.
Councilwoman Kaywood.
It is unfair to say the Hilgenfelds have been uncooperative.
The only proposals have been a convenience market and pizza
place. Both are out of order for the area. While a convenience
market provides a service, it will create a problem on a
sensitive and difficult corner. It is the wrong place for a
convenience market.
Councilman Pickler.
He is concerned with convenience markets and their locations
generally. Regulations have been tightened on parking but many
are still being proposed, some creating havoc in the community.
He is going to vote against this proposal because he feels it is
detrimental to the 243,000 citizens he represents. It is a
proposal that does not fit in at the corner of Broadway and
Anaheim Boulevard.

PUBLIC DISCUSSION-
IN OPPOSITION:
Bob Carter, 2433 East Lincoln.
The proposed building is 20,000 plus square feet and they are
requesting 8i parking spaces. The previous Ralph's SupermarKet
building is being used by an insurance company with a large
number of employees. He counted available parking spaces on the
lot when the insurance company was open and came up with only 45
spaces not used. Thus there would be a shortage of available
spaces. The proposed building will create a competitive
situation. It will be active not passive as Mr. Kendall
indicated in a letter to the Council and it is in a commercial
area. It is putting a finger of commercial into an area that
has residential on three sides. They are against the request
but as an alternative are suggesting that a lawn be planted with
a walk-way and that the property be donated for improvement of
the residential area. There is too much building in the area
even now.
SUMMATION BY APPLICANT: Herbert Kendall.
He owns the entire four acres which has a parking lot containing
242 spaces. The Ralph's Market was converted to the southwest
office of Ohio Casualty with 85 employees and some visitors who
use approximately 100 spaces maximum. The proposed building
will face Ohio Casualty making it an office plaza. The required
spaces are 216 and there are 242, none of which are compact.
The building will be a passive office building. There will be
no medical or dental facilities. People will arrive in the
morning and be leaving after the work day. He sees absolutely
no better use for the property and will do the best he can so
that it will be a point of pride to the City. There is a 7-year
lease on the property with 4-1/2 years to go. There is every
indication that Ohio Casualty will stay there for a very long
time since they have four divisions in the present building.
Councilman Ehrle.
He expressed concern over the very heavilY traveled interse~'~ion
of Lincoln and Sunkist, especially the fact that there are
left-turn lanes on Sunkist traveling north and south whic~
causes a heavy back up of traffic. The intersection is i~ d
of improvements to aid traffic flow.
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator.
In a meeting with the Traffic Engineer, he did not indicate that
there were any plans for that intersection at present but she
believes that at some point such improvements will be necessary.
797
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 9, 1988, 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Ehrle felt that improvements were needed now and that
either the developer was going to have to install a signal or
something was going to have to be done. He also commented on
the size of the proposed building which seems to be a very
optimistic use for that corner.
Annika Santalahti.
With the 242 parking spaces, they are just under 30 spaces in
excessive parking spaces for office uses. The parking meets the
Code and is about 10% over Code.
Councilwoman Kaywood.
She asked for confirmation by Mr. Kendall that the 40-foot
landscaped setback along the south property line adjacent to the
homes will remain as is; Mr. Kendall answered yes. The trees
are all alive and well and they do not intend to change the
parking lot at all.
Councilman Ehrle reiterated his concern relative to traffic and
that a 20,000 foot square building was a lot for that corner.
He feels that a left and right-turn lane is necessary at the
traffic signal on Sunkist going north and south.
Councilman Pickler also expressed concern that a 20,000
square-foot building was too much for that corner. There may be
sufficient parking but he was still concerned.
Herbert Kendall.
The second floor of the building will be occupied by an
Engineering Company with hardly any visitors. Relative to the
first floor, he has had discussions with his present tenant
(Ohio Casualty) who would like to use the first floor as part of
their function. Ohio Casualty is interested in an office
complex where they are the major user. He can only pledge to
the Traffic Department that he will be happy to cooperate in
solving the traffic problem, one which has existed long before
his present proposal.
Mayor Bay.
No one is present from Traffic Engineeri~ staff and there are
many questions that require an answer relative to installing
north and south left-turn lanes on Sunkist, the first being is
there enough width on Sunkist to make those improvements. There
are left-turns east and west on Lincoln now but to do so on
Sunkist north and south he does not agree with the concerns
expressed. He recalled when the original development was
approved for a grocery store, when all the parking was ten times
what is being proposed today. In discussing the increase of
traffic on Sunkist and Lincoln, it is necessary to look at the
added commercial uses in the commercial development west of the
subject site (East Anaheim Shopping Center), as well as the 57
Freeway. He does not agree that the proposed development should
798
132
City Hall, Anaheim~ Cml~fornia - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 9, 1988~ 1:30 P.M.
cover the total cost of north and south left-turns on Lincoln
because he does not feel it would be fair to ask that. He sees
the proposal as a lot less impact than what was originally
approved on the property years ago. There is no less impact
than commercial office to the surrounding residents and this
proposal will be a favorable instead of a highly intense
commercial development that might be justified.
Mr. Kendall.
He did not mean to say that he would build lanes.

Annika Santalahti.
This is not designated a critical intersection. She suggested
that the Council may wish to continue the matter for two weeks
so that it can be discussed with the Traffic Engineer and a
condition drafted and also to determine whether the existing
street widths will accommodate left-turn lanes and also, if a
proportionate share of the cost is possible, to take a look at
budgeting considerations.

He would like action to be taken today.

Councilwoman Kaywood.
She suggested approving the requested amendment to conditions
but if there is a problem from the Traffic Engineer's
standpoint, that it can come back or something that Mr. Kendall
can work out that is satisfactory to the Traffic Engineer.
Annika Santalahti.
She suggested the following: That there be a new Condition
No. 18 for the resolution that prior to the issuance of a
building permit, determination shall be made by the Traffic
Engineer as to whether a traffic signal at the intersection of
Lincoln and Sunkist can be modified for signalized left-turns
within Lincoln and Sunkist and if he finds that to be
appropriate, that the property owner shall pay a proportionate
appropriate share in the cost of making such modifications prior
to final building inspections.

LOCATION/REQUEST: The property is located at 1925 West Lincoln Avenue
(northwest corner of Lincoln Avenue and Muller Street). The applicant has
requested the hearing to remove the requirement for affordable units from the
conditions. The original proposal was to construct a 220-unit, 58 foot high 4
to 6 story "affordable" apartment complex with waivers of (a) maximum fence
height, (b) minimum building site area per dwelling unit, (c) maximum
structural height and (d) minimum distance between buildings. Following

pertaining to permitted density.

A chain link fence has been installed around the property beyond
Diane Way. In the meantime, it came to his attention in talking
to the neighbors this morning that moving the fence back would
allow the neighbors to continue having the accessibility south
of Anaheim Bowl that they had for many years. Further, at the
last public hearing, it was determined that he would install a
traffic light but it does not seem to be included in the
conditions of approval and he wants to assure the neighborhood
that is going to happen. He suggests further that it be
installed and in operation prior to the commencement of framing
of the project but provide accessibility up until that time.
Another issue is that he was not aware he needed a conditional
use permit for his construction office which will be put on the
site. It is a mobile modular trailer and he would like
clarification as to whether or not he does need a CUP.
Mayor Bay.
The public hearing has obviously taken on added issues when the
only issue today is amendment of conditions of approval. He
asked for clarification, however, relative to the traffic light
which was to be installed by the developer and the main point of
contention at the last public hearing.
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator.
Condition No. 25 of Resolution No. 88R-143 granting Variance
No. 3746 stated the following, "That prior to issuance of a
building permit, the developer shall post a bond or other
security acceptable to the City of Anaheim to guarantee the
construction of a traffic signal at the intersection of Aladdin
Drive and Lincoln Avenue, as approved by the City Traffic
Engineer. Construction of the traffic signal shall be completed
prior to final building and zoning inspections."
Mayor Bay.
That condition is clear and since it was included, he does not
understand Mr. Vazquez's remark. However, he (Vazquez) is
saying he would like to put the light in at the time of framing
and the condition ~tat~s it will ba bonded and construction
shall be completed prior to final building and zoning
inspections. The mobile office is a new issue as well. He
reiterated, the public hearing today merely covers whether .
not the Council is going to approve amendment to conditio~
removing the requirement for the affordable units or not.
Councilwoman Kaywood.
She asked if there is any kind of bonus involved in the number
of units that were approved.
Annika Santalahti.
The 184 units are at the proper density for the Code and a
density waiver is not involved. The other three waivers are
still needed.
801
City Hall, Anmheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 9, 1988~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilwoman Kaywood.
She assumed that affordable housing could still be required.
Councilman Pickler.
He was always under the understanding that there would be no
affordable housing involved in the project.
Mayor Bay.
He was of the same understanding. When the units were reduced
from 220 to 184, the height was lowered and the traffic light
committed to, the neighborhood problems were solved. Then the
affordable units were no longer required although it was
technically not covered at the time of the hearing. To now try
to condone it and base it on a couple of waivers given uniformly
throughout the City on these types of projects would not be in
order.
Mayor Bay asked if anyone wished to speak.
Betty McFarland, 231 North Carol Drive.
In reference to the fence, she noticed that it has been knocked
down along Lincoln sometime during the night. Mr. Vazquez did
agree to move the fence back for ingress and egress to get out
onto Muller. There is also the problem along Lincoln which she
discussed with Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer, in the lobby about
red zoning from Delia to beyond Aladdin Drive. There are now a
number of North American Vanline trucks parking on Lincoln at
the very end of Aladdin and an unidentified truck that parks on
Diane Way. It was difficult enough when the residents reported
they could not make a clear or good judgment on a left-turn but
they cannot now make a good clear right-turn.
The Traffic Engineer told her if she went to his office and made
a request, they would put a red zone in that location. They
have also talked to Mr. Vazquez again. He asked if there was
any objection to retail. The residents did not have any
objection even before with retail and it might be beneficial to
the whole area. Their concern is being able to get in and out
sa~ely.
COUNCIL ACTION:
Mayor Bay closed the public hearing.
Mayor Bay.
Relative to circulation problems during demolition and
construction, he urged that the staff provide assistance and
help where it is needed in that area, particularly that Code
Enforcement investigate the situation of the truck parking
over-night or blocking places where they should not be.

ANAMEIM A~PROVING ~ AF~ENDM~T TO CERTA/N CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL IN VANCE
NO. 3746 A/gD ~24ENDING RESOLUTION NO. 88R-143.
Before a vote was taken, Mayor Bay stated he is concerned over the fact that
there is a real need for fencing when demolition is taking place. At the same
time, he does not want to see any major problems in circulation because that
was the greatest complaint and concern. He also feels it is time they made
things clear if there are any vague notions between Mr. Vazquez and staff on
when the traffic light has to be installed those should be clarified. At the
same time, if trucks are parking legally and are creating a problem, that may
require further action. Regarding the other questions posed by Mr. Vazquez,
some are new and may have to come back under a different hearing.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing resolution:

problem; Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator, stated that in the future
