114: INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATION - SISTER CITY RELATIONSHIP - BRUHL, GERMANY:
Mr. Bill Riley, Chairman of the Sister City Committee, explained that because
of the many requests from the citizens of Anaheim and because of Anaheim's
German heritage, the Sister City Committee for the past two years had been
investigating possible cities in Germany as a Sister City. At this time, the
Committee was suggesting Bruhl Germany, located Midway between Cologne and
Bern near the Rhine, the general area where many of Anaheim's ancestors
originated. Bruhl and its surrounding area was approximately the same size
and population as Anaheim and also had a tourist attraction similar to
Disneyland call Fantasialand, a Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm combined. It
was an excellent choice and "shone" above the rest. The Anaheim Sister City
Committee was, therefore, respectfully requesting permission to enter into
negotiations with the City of Bruhl to establish a Sister City affiliation.
366
CitT. Hall., Anaheim, .California - COUNCIL MINUTE. S - March 27, 1984, 10:00 A.M.
Mayor Roth asked for confirmation that they were merely asking permission to
enter into negotiations at no cost to the City; Mr. Riley confirmed that was
correct. He saw no outlay of money whatsoever. The Sister City Committee for
the first time had become self-supporting and could carry through without
additional monies from the City.
Councilman Pickier wanted to know if it was going to be possible to carry two
Sister Cities or if that would create a problem.
Mr. Riley answered that he did not think so. He felt that the relationship
would be established because of Anaheim's heritage and also that he would get
more help on this project as well. He saw no extra burden and noted that
there were other cities the size of Anaheim who had up to four Sister Cities
and managed the situation.
Councilwoman Kaywood wanted to know who suggested the City of Bruhl and also
if there was interest on the part of that city.
Mr. Riley stated the first recommendation came from Mr. Horst Schor and also,
former Police Chief Harold Bastrup spent a great deal of time in that area.
He did not know if there was a firm interest from Bruhl but felt there was
because there had been very informal preliminary discussions.
MOTION: Councilman Roth moved to grant permission to the Sister Cities
Committee to enter into negotiations with the City of Bruhl to establish a
Sister City affiliation. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. MOTION
CARRIED.
MINUTES: Approval of the minutes was deferred to the next regular meeting.
WAIVER OF READING - ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to
waive the reading in full of ail ordinances and resolutions of the Agenda,
after reading of the title thereof by the City Clerk, and that consent to
waiver is hereby given by all Council Members, unless after reading of the
title, specific request is made by a Council Member for the reading of such
ordinances or resolutions in regular~order. Councilman Pickier seconded the
motion. MOTION CARRIED.
FINANCIAL DEMANDS AGAINST THE CITY in the amount of ~2,205,817.24, in
accordance with the 1983-84 Budget, were approved.

upon questioning by Councilman Pickler, gave a historical overview of the

after they had considered recommendations of the Citizens Capital Improvement

extensive and detailed report dated March 14, 1984 from the Maintenance

findings concerning a new Street Maintenance facility and a new study

14, 1984 report. Councilman Roth seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
123: CANYON CORPORATE CENTRE~ LTD. INSTALLATION AND CONTINUING MAINTENANCE OF
A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE CANYON CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT:
Councilwoman Kaywood, referring to the signature of the principal On' the
subject agreement, stated that for clarity and recourse in the future, on an
agreement or contract she felt that the name of the signer should be typed
under the signature line since signatures were usually illegible and in years
to come, no one would know who signed the document.
Councilman Overholt explained the problem with such a recommendation was that
they usually did not know which general partner was going to sign such
agreements.
Councilwoman Kaywood explained it was not just the subject agreement, but she
was talklng about all agreements. (She later clarified that the signature on
the proposed agreement was that of Richard Macklin, General Partner). She
then questioned the status of the Canyon Plaza Shopping Center access.
Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer, stated he had been in contact with Mr. Rinker
and Shantz and they hired an engineering firm to prepare preliminary plans to
provide the "ultimate" solution. Things were proceeding, but at a snail's
pace.
Councilman Roth offered Resolution No. 84R-122 for adoption authorizing an
agreement with Canyon Corporate Centre, Ltd., for the installation and
continuing maintenance of a traffic signal to be installed on La Palma Avenue
approximately 1000 feet west of Imperial Highway, at the main entrance to the
Canyon Corporate Development, with City reimbursing Canyon Corporate in an
amount not to exceed $100,000 from the Traffic Signal Assessment Fee Fund, as
recommended in memorandum dated March 16, 1984 from the acting City Engineer.

The Planning Commission, to expire August 20, 1986.
5. ORANGE COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT - CONFORMANCE WITH GENERAL PLAN:
Orange County Flood Control District, requesting determination as to
conformity with General Plan of proposed leasing of land for five years for
the storage of potted plants and/or a "cut and choose" Christmas tree farm on
property located on the south side of Frontera Street, west of Glasseii Street.
The Planning Commission determined the activity was in conformance with the
General Plan.
6. TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 9602 READV: Submitted by Gunston Hail Company, Inc.,
to re-establish a 49-1ot, RS-HS-iO,000(SC) zoned single-family subdivision on
property located on the south side of Nohl Ranch Road, west of Andover Drive.
The City Planning Commission certified EIR No. 203 (supplemental to EIR No.

i79: REQUEST FOR CONTINUANCE FOR PUBLIC HEARING ON RECLASSIFICATION 83-84-i7
AND VARIANCE 3374: City Clerk Linda D. Roberts announced that a letter dated
March 23, 1984 'had been received from Irene Jennings, President, and Kathy
Ellis, Secretary/Treasurer, of the South Anaheim Neighborhood Council
requesting a continuation of the public hearing on the subject
reclassification and variance which was scheduled for April 3, 1984. She
explained for Councilman Pickler that the decision of the Planning Commission
denying both the reclassification and variance was appealed by the applicant
on March 15, 1984.
Councilman Overhoit noted that they were also requesting a night hearing. He
suggested instead that it be scheduled as the last hearing on April 17, 1984,
since one of the purposes of having Council meetings start earlier in the day
was to avoid meetings later in the evening.
Councilman Overhoit moved to grant the request that the public hearing
scheduled for April 3, 1984 on Reclassification No. 83-84-17 and Variance No.
3374 and Negative Declaration therefor to Tuesday, April 17, 1984, denying the
request that it be an evening hearing but setting it as the last public
hearing on that day.
Before any action was taken, discussion followed relative to the other public
hearings scheduled for April 17, 1984 and the fact that it would be difficult
to indicate any specific time when the subject public hearing might be heard
on that date; Councilman Overholt subsequently withdrew his motion.
MOTION: Councilman Pickier, thereupon, moved that the Council determined that
the public hearing scheduled for April 3, 1984 at 1:30 p.m. at that time be
continued to April 17, 1984 at 1:30 p.m. but that it be scheduled as the last
public hearing on that date.
Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

170: FINAL MAP TRACT NO. 11924: Developer, Robin Hill Development Company;
Tract is located southwesterly of Imperial Highway north of Big Sky Lane and
contains forty-six proposed RSHS 10,000 (SC) zoned lots.
On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood seconded by Councilman Bay, the proposed
subdivision together with its design and improvement was found to be
consistent with the City's General Plan, and the City Council approved Final
Map Tract No. li924 as recommended by the City Engineer in his memorandum
dated March 1984. MOTION CARRIED.
179: REQUEST FOR CONFIRMATION OF CARPORT REQUIREMENTS: Councilwoman Kaywood
asked for some clarification on th~ new carport requirements where a minimum
of 50 percent closed area was required. She was not aware of that change and
did not believe anyone else was. The one they were discussing did not comply
even with the new ordinance because it was completely open on three sides
(proposed development at 2620 West Ball Road, Reclassification 83-84-7,
Conditional Use Permit No. 2499 - Wm. Pene, G. G. P. Associates and intended
to be only one-half closed on the rear initially. She asked to have a report
so that there could be some discussion on the issue and perhaps a change. She
also wanted to know the rationale behind why it was discussed to be changed.
172: TRAFFIC PROBLEMS - LOARA - DOGWOOD AREA: Councilman Overholt referred
to a letter he had read from a resident in the Loara Street area who was
concerned about some rumor that Loara Street was going to be closed and it was
going to be a double cul de sac at the Carbon Creek channel. Today he also
received a letter from the Postmaster indicating grave concern about anything
along that line being considered. He wanted to express his concern as well.
His personal opinion was that closing anything off was the wrong way to go and
the thing to do was to open it up.
Mr. Art Daw, Acting City Engineer, stated they had money included in the
budget for the current fiscal year for a study and preparation of an
environmental document to look into the traffic conditions in the
Loara-Dogwood area. Concern was expressed by citizens in that area that they
were getting too much traffic through their neighborhood from outside
sources. They held a citizen's meeting with property owners in the area in
which the total problem was discussed and the potential of some alternatives
that might help give some relief. At the conclusion of that meeting, there
were thirteen property owners selected as a committee to work with staff to
take a look at other alternatives and solutions that might be acceptable.
After several meetings with staff, the committee felt that the optimum
alternative was the closing of Loara at the Flood Control channel. This was
not considered as an ultimate solution as far as City staff was concerned.
Last Wednesday, another meeting was held and since the closing of Loara would
have a greater impact than just the Loara-Dogwood tract, they expanded their
mailing for concerned citizens to a larger area. At that meeting, the Anaheim
Plaza Center appeared in opposition, as well as the Post Office, YMCA, and the
owner of the small market south of the channel. Approximately 90 percent of
the citizens were also opposed, as well as a percentage of citizens within the
tract, due to the inconvenience it would cause, since the only way to get in
and out would be to go to La Palma Avenue at Dresden and try to make left-hand
373
CitY Hall., Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 27, 1984, 10:00 A.M.
turns or to go out onto Euclid and be forced to make left-hand turns there.
At that time, the final resolution of a majority of the people was to attempt
to put stop signs at Loara and Dogwood for the northbound traffic on Loara and
the eastbound on Dogwood and also a stop sign at westbound Dogwood at
Dresden. That would also include in the northbound Loara at Dogwood, the red
flasher to give warning. It was their understanding that the residents living
at Loara and Dogwood were still not happy with this solution.
Councilman Pickler stated in looking at Loara, he was thinking of the
possibility of extending Loara through to La Palma and understood that was a
possibility.
Mr. Daw answered that was an alternative and the estimate to extend it and put
a signal at Loara was ~400,000. It was generally felt this would tend to make
Loara more of a "race track", increase speeds and compound the problem.
Councilman Overhoit asked if there was a report available with that cost
estimate, as well as the pros and cons of different alternatives; Mr. Daw
stated there was such a report.
Councilman Pickier asked that a copy be provided to the Council. That was a
"band-aid" solution to a problem created by bad planning years ago. There was
a real problem in the area.
Councilman Bay was glad that Councilman Overhoit broached the subject since he
recalled the Council discussing the situation in the past and wanting to look
into the extension of Loara through to La Palma Avenue since there was a
vacant lot on La Palma Avenue at the end of Loara. He was suprised to hear,
after the fact, about ail the activity that had been going on in that
neighborhood. He was certain there were many people who were concerned about
what happend to Loara relative to access for the post office and to avoid some
of the jams on Euclid. He agreed with Councilman Overholt that it was not a
small problem and it was going to have to be looked at extensively. It was
the first time he heard a $400,000 estimate on the cut-through and he also
wanted to see the report that was generated. He agreed that a "band-aid"
approach would not suffice in that area.
175: LIFELINE RATES - ELECTRICITY AND WATER: Mr. Bill Erickson, 301 East
North Street, read his letter to the Council dated March 13, 1984 (on file in
the City Clerk's office), the thrust of which was his concern that there was
no real response to the recommendations of the Ad Hoc Committee established in
late 1982 by the Council to study the issue of lifeline rates for electricity
and water. His letter explained that after months of deliberation, a majority
and minority report was submitted to the Public Utilities Board (PUB) at that
time, it was the unanimous opinion that their committee or any such committee
to follow could do nothing to improve the proper working of the lifeline rate
problem until there was a Charter Amendment giving the Council the right to
set lifeline rates based on age, health and ability to pay. He felt that now
was the time they should be working on such a charter amendment. As noted in
his letter, "A request had also been made that the wording for age/income be
written to be put on the ballot. Sufficient time should be allowed so that
the voting public will be adequately informed." He wanted a response to the
majority and minority report submitted by the committee.
374
City Hal!., Angheim., .Califo.rn.i9 -.COUNCIL MINUTES - March 27, !984.,. 10:00 A.M.
Councilman Bay stated the way he understood, Mr. Erickson was asking the
Council to put a Charter Amendment on the ballot to change the concept of life
line rates in the City from being a relief to all residential users to one of
a selective nature, or relief to the needy.
Mr. Erickson stated he had a letter that the Utilities Department received
which would explain the situation, and also that the issue be put on a
referendum for age and income. The majority report recommended the status quo
and he had a minority report.
Councilman Bay stated, in effect, he was quoting the minority report from the
committee that worked on the lifeline rates; Mr. Erickson confirmed that was
correct.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated the cost of changing over the data processing
system in Anaheim was previously explained. The City did not function the
same as Los Angeles and from her recollection, it would be mulitiple millions
of dollars to do so.
Mr. Erickson stated he had a letter from Los Angeles noting that the cost was
minimal and it would be less for Anaheim because they had a lesser population;
Councilwoman Kaywood reiterated that Anaheim had a different system.
Mayor Roth asked Mr. Erickson to submit his letter to the City Clerk so that a
response could be obtained from staff.
REQUEST FOR CLOSED SESSION: The City Manager requested a Closed Session to
discuss public security, current litigation and a personnel matter with no
action anticipated; the City Attorney requested a Closed Session to discuss
litigation and potential litigation with action anticipated.
Councilman Roth moved to recess into closed session and a lunch break.
Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (11:15 a.m.)
AFTER RECESS: The Mayor called the meeting to order all Council memebers
being present. (1:40 p.m.)
179: CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2522 AND NEGATIVE
DECLARATION: Application submitted by Mahmoud R. E. L. KanaWey, to permit a
convenience market with off-sale beer and wine and gasoline sales on ML zoned
property located at 1175 No. East Street.
The City Planning Commission pursuant to Resolution PC83-248 approved the
negative declaration upon finding that it has considered the negative
declaration together with any comments received during the public review
process and further finding on the basis of the initial study and any comments
received chat there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a
significant affect on the environment and further, denied Conditional Use
Permit No. 2522.
The decision of the Planning Commission was appealed by Talat Radwan,
appellant, and public hearing scheduled and continued from the meeting of
February 7, 1984 to this date.

A review of the Planning Commission's decision was requested by Councilman
Pickier at the meeting of February 28, 1984 and public hearing scheduled this
date.
The Mayor asked if the applicant or applicant's agent was present.
Mr. Floyd Farano, Attorney for the applicant, 100 South Anaheim Boulevard, was
present. He stated that they did not have a presentation to make as to the
office structures in view of the prior presentations on the overall project
(see minutes of January 24, 1984). They were prepared to answer questions;
otherwise, the only discussion would be directed toward three conditions they
would like to discuss with the Council.
378
City Hall, A~aheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 27, 1984, 10:00 A.M.
Councilman Pickler then stated one of the things he was concerned with was
relative to the progress regarding Ciementine Street. At the last hearing,
Mr. Fujishige, the property owner to the south mentioned that no contact had
been made with him. Re asked the status of that situation.
Mr. Farano explained they had contact with Mr. Fujishige and his attorney
since the last public hearing on Phase I and Phase II of the project. He
agreed to dedicate the easement for the storm drain that was going to run from
Katella Avenue to Orangewood Avenue. They anticipated in the near future
commencement of studies and engineering work that had to be done in
preparation for the storm drain.
As part of the public hearing, Mr. Farano stated the items he would like to
discuss involved Conditions No. 11, 12, i7, and 22 of Planning Commission
Resolution No. PC84-18. In the early presentations and the actions of the
City Council, they agreed with the City to construct a street from the
southern boundary of the Riviera property to easterly extension of Convention
Way. He was aware the conditions stated otherwise. Relative to Condition No.
12, they agreed to construct a street from Clementine westerly to Harbor
Boulevard. They would do so and had no problem with that.
Condition No. 17 required that the applicant acquire a property interest and
dedication of that interest to the City as a portion of building the streets.
They wanted to address that and, lastly, Condition No. 22 related to the
execution of an agreement in the nature of Development Agreement 83-01. At
the last public hearing on Phase I and Phase II he raised the question before
the Council as to exactly how the development agreement entered into between
the Anaheim Stadium Associates and the City had a bearing on his client's
project. The Council directed staff to do a study on that which was contained
in report dated February 1, 1984 to the Council and City Manager which was
forwarded to him as well.
Throughout the conditions on Conditional Use Permit No. 2460 and No. 2462 as
well as No. 2461, the developer agreed to numerous off and on site
improvements. In reviewing the EIR, particularly with regard to Condition No.
22, it appeared that with respect to traffic, and that was the most
significant impact, the Anaheim Stadium project primarily was going to impact
the area east of the Santa Aha freeway. The Riviera project would impact the
area west of the Santa Aha freeway. It also appeared that the Anaheim Stadium
project was required to provide for impacts as a result of that development.
Their conclusion was that the two developments were in two distinct areas. As
a result, neither of the impacts, in their opinion, were related. It also
appeared that the City was "carving" Riviera from one impact, Harbor and
Katella, and placing it into the Anaheim Stadium impact area and through the
development agreement set forth in 83-01 would require the Riviera project to
make contributions as part of an assessment district for off-site improvements
that may be necessary as a result of the stadium project. They questioned
that and felt the Riviera was being overburdened as the City was intending to
combine the two impact areas into one assessment district that should include
other developers and businesses as well. If that was to be undertaken,
Riviera should be relieved of the financial and off-site development
obligations under Conditional Use Permit No. 2460, 2462 and potentially 2461.
The City should require them to do one or the other, but not both.
379
City Hall,. Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 27, 1984, 10:00 A.M.
In reviewing the February 1, 1984 memorandum and the Stadium Development
Agreement, it appeared that there were no certain dates or the areas had not
been defined. It was potentially an open check book situation. And so far as
development of Clementine beyond Convention Way reflected in Condition No. 11
and insofar as Condition No. 17, there were significant traffic congestion
problems in the general area of Harbor and Katella. The EIR for the Riviera
project as well as the one for the Anaheim Stadium project stated there would
be additional traffic loads by no less than six additional traffic generators
or businesses that had developed in the area. The Riviera project would
primarily affect two intersections - Katella - Ciementine and Katella - Haster.
Their conclusion, as they interpreted the EIR, was they were being requested
and asked to assume responsibility they were not creating but rather created
by other developments. They realized there were other problems in that area
but their EIR noted they were not responsible for them. To require Riviera to
obtain the title for land and pass it on to the City by dedication and to
construct the Clementine extension was far above and beyond its share. They
would be willing to do their share in the area and to mitigate the impact.
They were requesting that Condition No. 11 be amended to delete the southerly
extension of Clementine beyond Convention Way, that Condition No. 17 in its
entirety be deleted, and Condition No. 22 be deleted in its entirety.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked if Condition No. i2 was satisfactory; Mr. Farano
answered "yes."
Councilwoman Kaywood pointed out that at the prior hearing, Mr. Farano
stipulated to Conditon No. 22.
Mr. Farano stated he agreed with it but with the reservation of rights. The
Council recognized that the February 1, 1984 memorandum was going to be
developed and would give them, as well as the Council, data as to what was
involved and giving them the right to raise the question at a later time.
Pam Lucado, Associate Planner, in answer to a question posed by the Mayor,
explained that Condition No. 22 put the property owner on notice that the City
intended to enter assessment districts. The condition covered ail forms of
assessment districts, not Just parking or the Convention Center or Stadium
area. It had already been done with other developers in the area and in the
Disneyland area, the Emerald Hotel and Regency Hotel properties.
Mayor Roth wanted to know if there was any indication of cost to the
developers; Ms. Lucado answered that the covenant they asked the property
owner to enter into simply put the property owner on notice of the City's
intent to form a district. It reserved unto that property owner the right to
contest the boundary, the fee, or whatever actions would be involved.
Traffic Engineer, Paul Singer, stated that the assessment district was
intended to encompass not only new properties coming in, but also would
include the properties now in the area that had been constructed. It was a
form of taxation and had the same type of connotation.
380
City Hal.~, .Anaheim, .Ca!iforni.a - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 2.7, 1984, iO:00..A.M..
Mr. Farano stated they had a copy of the agreement that was signed and he had
information only on two properties that had signed the agreement, both of
which were in the Stadium area - one at Howell and Katella and the other at
Orangewood and Santa Cruz. If the Regency and Emerald had signed, they had
done so since he checked the records. The agreement stated, we shall not
contest the formation of a district. It was a recorded document and as they
read the law, what he thought was intended in the formation of an assessment
district was that the City had to obtain aprovai of fifty percent of the
property owners in the area. The legal effect if they wanted to contest the
formation of an assessment district was they may not do so under the
document. They were not even objecting to it, but were saying they did not
think it was right to get two bites out of the apple by the off-site
improvements and expense they were going through in complying with the
conditions of all three Conditional Use Permits and the agreement as well.
Mr. Singer stated he saw the formation of an assessment district as an aid to
the developer as opposed to an addition. He visualized if the district was
properly formed, it would include the extension of Clementine and Convention
Way. It was not a doubling of the developers requirement, but it could be
that the entire improvement required would include the extension of the two
street arteries. It was also obvious as indicated in the EIR that the project
could not be constructed without the extension of Clementine and Convention
Way.
Councilman Pickler stated he felt the opposite of Mr. Farano in saying that
the Anaheim Stadium and Riviera project had no connection. The Riviera
development was going to impact an area that was at its peak right now. The
development was going to impose a hardship relative to traffic and circulation
in the area.
Mr. Farano stated they were willing to pay their fair share, but were
concerned about "double taxation". He felt an answer, if the Council agreed,
was in the event the assessment district were formed and assessment levied
against the Riviera and other projects in the area, that they be given credit
against any assessment impact of the off-site improvements.
Ron Thompson, Planning Director, stated he (Farano) was of the opinion that
more than just the Riviera project would benefit by the extension of
Clementine and Convention Way. It could benefit the Marriott, the ~ilton and
other developments yet to come and that type of improvement that would benefit
a large area would be different from the off-site improvements immediately
adjacent to Mr. Fujishige's project.
Councilman Overhoit stated it was necessary to define what type of public
improvements and benefits were to be in the assessment district and, if they
were paying one hundred percent, they should be given credit accordingly.
Mayor Roth left the Council chamber. (2:28 p.m.)
Mr. Singer reiterated that without the improvement, the extension of
Clementine and Convention Way, the project could not be built and that was the
impact. There were going to be benefits of the extension to other properties
381
City Hall, Anaheim,..California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 27, 1984, 10:00 A.M.
and other businesses, but the bottom line was that the project would have to
wait for a long time until the City through an assessment district could
construct it. If the Riviera developer would like to develop now, they were
responsible for extending it. That portion of the benefit would then be
assignable and then a study on an assessment district would address the
impacts and be able to assess the properties individually. Without a
question, there were certain off-site improvements that would benefit only the
subject property and make it sole beneficiary, i.e., the median islands along
Kateila Avenue, and the improvements on Clementine within the property of the
Riviera was wholly for the benefit of the development. The extension from the
south of the property of Clementine and Convention Way was to be determined at
the time the district was assessed and the specific benefits.
Councilman Overholt clarified for Mr. Farano that when the district was formed
it would be determined at that time the extent to which the off site
improvements benefited other developments. In allowance for that, a credit to
his project would be given in the formation of the assessment district.
Mr. Farano sur~u[sed then that when the assessment district was formed, if the
Clementine extension benefited their project ten percent and someone else's
ninety percent, they would get reimbursed ninety percent; Mr. Singer stated
that he would not want to quote the percentages, but essentially that was
correct and it would be decided by an independent study and the developer
could have input into that study.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated from the beginning at the Planning Commission
hearings, it seemed to her the reason the project was separated was because it
was made clear that the improvements would have to go in before they could
begin the office project, because that was going to have the largest impact.
Mr. Farano stated that was correct. It was recognized and stated that before
the office towers could be constructed that the road would have to be in
place. It was because of other problems and allowing time to solve those
problems. He also wanted the Council to address Condition No. 17, the essence
of which was to compel Riviera Mobile Home park to acquire the title to real
property to build the road which involved approximately eight acres of land.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated once again it would not be necessary without their
project; Mr. Farano stated that he could not buy that and quoted a section
from the EIR indicating that it would have a relatively minor impact.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated for anyone to presume that an 852-room hotel would
not have an impact on Katella Avenue and Harbor Boulevard and that many of
those people would not be going to Disneyland or the Convention Center was
pure fantasy. Mr. Farano was saying the overwhelming burden should go to the
City and she could not accept that.
Mayor Roth entered the Council chamber. (2:36 p.m.)
Mr. Singer stated that time was of the essence and he believed the street
could not be constructed on right-of-way that they did not have. It was
essential that the developer acquire the right-of-way and construct the street
382
City ~1~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 27~ 1984, 10:00 A.M.
unless the City would assume the burden for acquiring the right-of-way which
he did not believe was in order.
After further discussion between Council, Mr. Farano and staff, Mr. Farano
stated rather than continuing, he would like to request the Council to also
add a condition that to the extent that off-site improvements were undertaken
by Riviera, that they be subject to a reimbursement agreement. That was
especially true relative to the storm drain.
Mr. Singer stated those improvements dealing with the extension of Clementine
and Convention Way only would he recommend, because the others were required
under the conditions for the condominium complex and the hotel. They had
nothing to do with the office buildings so they should be excluded on the
Fujishige property only.
Mayor Roth asked for clarification if he was talking about off-site
improvements subject to reimbursement with what exclusions.
Mr. Singer answered with the exclusion of the median lsland on Katella Avenue,
the improvements required at Clementine on the property owned by Riviera, and
the traffic signal at the intersection of Clementine Street and Katella Avenue.
Mr. Farano agreed.
The Mayor then asked if anyone wished to speak.
Judith Graham, Riviera Mobile Home Park, 136, asked whether an ordinance had
already been adopted rezoning the property.
City Attorney William Hopkins, stated that the resolution had been adopted
covering the Riviera Mobile Home Park and they had certain provisions relative
to reimbursement to the various tenants. There was an ordinance covering the
Mobile Home project subject to the procedure of reimbursement. He believed
Mrs. Graham had discussed the matter with Mr. Farano and there were certain
conditions she had been asked to comply with such as signing a waiver and
release.
Mayor Roth asked if it was a legal question between her and Mr. Farano or if
the City was involved.
Mr. Hopkins answered that it was between Mr. Farano and the owner of the
property to work out whatever they could concerning the reimbursement
agreement that was provided for in the resolution that was adopted. The City
merely approved certain documents that were submitted after ail the tenants
had made their final arrangements. As far as individual payments, that was
between the owners, their attorney and the tenants.
Mrs. Graham stated the reason she asked whether an ordinance had been adopted
was due to the fact that the wording of the resolution in three cases
mentioned that the relocation benefits must be paid. One was prior to the
adoption of an ordinance rezoning the property opon which the subject mobile
home park was located.
383
Cit~.Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 27, 1984~ 10:00 A.M.
Miss Santalahti explained the ordinance removing the Mobilehome Park Overlay
Zone had not yet been, and would not be, adopted until they received from the
developer satisfactory proof that ail tenants had accepted the relocation
benefits.
Mrs. Graham stated that was what she was questioning. She did not think any
new conditional use permits should be issued in this case, because they came
under the Overlay Zone and the park had not complied with the requirements of
the resolution. The resolution stated prior to the termination of tenancy,
the amounts must be paid in order to allow someone to move.
Mayor Roth asked if the action they were taking today related to that
finalization.
Miss Santalahti stated a condition of the use permit stated, "that they shall
have finalized the C-R zoning and removed the Mobilehome Park Overlay Zone."
Mayor Roth stated if the Council took an action today it was then subject to
those things happening otherwise they could not build.
Extensive discussion and questioning followed with Mrs. Graham, Council and
staff relative to her concerns. In concluding, Mrs. Graham reiterated that
she could not move from the park until they gave her money to move with.
City Attorney Hopkins stated that he had reviewed the matter with Mrs. Graham
and Mr. Farano and Mr. Farano's requirement was that she sign a waiver and
release. If she was not willing to do so, then she should consult a private
attorney because it was a private matter between the owner and the attorney.
As far as the legal requirements of the City, Mr. Farano was correct in his
position on the matter.
Mrs. Graham stated Mr. Farano was not doing what the City ordered him to do
and ail she was asking was that they make him do it.
Mr. Richard Miller, 1855 E1 Paso Lane, Fullerton, stated he was present to
speak for his mother, Margaret Miller, who had lived at Riviera Mobile Home
Park for twenty-one years. They were confused relative to the relocation
allowance. People who had already moved out that had the same kind of home as
his mother received the ~3,500 allowance. He had not talked to Mr. Farano but
to a Mr. Chang and Grace Baumann, who said she was the manager of the park.
They were told they were not getting the allowance because his mother's coach
was classified as a travel trailer.
Both Mayor Roth and Councilman Overhoit suggested that Mr. Miller contact
either Mr. Farano and/or the City Attorney and he was thereupon supplied with
telephone numbers for both. It was pointed out that the hearing today was
relative to CUP No. 2461 and not relocation allowances as that aspect had been
covered in past hearings.
Mr. Bill Kumer, Chief Engineer, Disneyland, reiterated the necessity they had
for a visual intrusion test because of the height limitation in that area in
order to comply with the ordinance.
384
Cit.y Hall, .Anaheim, Caiiforpi. a - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 27. t 198.4,.' z0,:p,p,,A,.,M.
Miss Santalahti suggested an added condition that, prior to the issuance of a
building permit, the developer shall conduct a balloon test in cooperation
with Disneyland. Said test to show there shall be no visual intrusion of amy
part of the proposed buildings or signage into Disneyland.
Mayor Roth stated if approval was given today, that condition would be added.
The Mayor closed the public hearing.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked staff with regard to the concluding paragraph, what
would have been permitted on the property without any CUP; Miss Santalahti
explained that the office uses proposed in connection with the use permit were
not permisible uses in the C-R zone without a CUP. Otherwise only motel-hotel
type uses and restaurants would be allowed. The condomimiums would not have
been allowable and the height limitation on the hotel would have been 75 feet.
Councilman Pickler offered a resolution for adoption granting Conditonal Use
Permit No. 2461.
Before any action was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood noted that Mr. Fujishige was
in the Chambers audience and wanted to know if he wished to speak.
Mr. Fujishige, 1848 Margie Lane, stated they had one or two meetings but
nothing definite had come up. Mr. Farano had made no offers. Construction of
the project was six or eight years in the future and he did not know what
would happen by then. He had no comments to make.
Councilman Overholt asked what they decided on Condition No. 11, the extension
beyond Clementine to Orangewood; Miss Santalahti stated she did not think the
Traffic Engineer wanted to extend Clementine Street from Convention Way
southerly.
Mr. Singer stated the entire extension should be taken from Katelia Avenue to
Orangewood and from Harbor to Clementine.
Councilman Overholt wanted to know if it was something they would get credit
for if an assessment district were established.
Mr. Singer answered it was not intended to be a loss to the developer but a
benefit; Councilman Overholt asked how many acres were involved in the
extension south of Convention Way.
Mr. Singer did not know, but the ultimate road would be of a secondary
arterial nature, and he believed approximately eight acres were involved in
the entire package.
Councilman Bay asked if the off-site storm drain would be reimbursable as
well; Mr. Singer answered, "no."
Mr. Farano stated his impression was that the construction of the storm drain
was reimbursable, at least the portion constructed across the Fujishige
property, in connection with the hotel and condominium development.
385
Ci.ty Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 27., 1984~ 10:~p. A.M.
Miss Santalahti stated it was required in connection with those. Her
understanding was that the Fujishige property would also drain into the storm
drain, but the City Engineer would have to comment on that. Those were the
only two beneficiaries of that storm drain.
Councilwoman Kaywood surmised then that the portion required at this point was
the full responsibility of the developer.
Miss Santalahti clarified it was his responsibility to construct it from the
very beginning, because it was necessary immediately, but the Fujishige
property would benefit ultimately as well.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked for clarification that the conditions Mr. Farano
wanted deleted were not being deleted and Condtions No. 11, 12, 17 and 22
would remain just as granted by the Planning Commission.
Councilman Overholt stated except that Condition No. 22 had an explanation
with respect to the possibility of including certain off-site improvements.
Councilman Pickler stated they had added another Condition to No. 22;
Councilman Overholt asked if it was another separate numbered condition which
impacted No. 22.
Miss Santalahti answered "yes".
Councilman Pickier, thereupon, offered Resolution No. 84R-124 for adoption
subject to ail City Planning Commission conditions including the following as
discussed and as recommended by staff;
That if an assessment district is formed and it includes subject property, the
developer's cost to construct off-site improvements specified in the said
district shall be reimbursable to the extent that said improvements are
proportionally not due to the proposed development herein. The reimbursable
costs shall not include the following; (a) cost to construct a raised median
in Katella Avenue, (b) cost of any improvements in the future extension of
Clementine Street through subject property and, (c) cost of the traffic signal
modification at Katella Avenue and Clementine Street.
That prior to issuance of a building permit, the 'developer shall conduct a
balloon test in cooperation with Disneyland, said test to show that there
shall be no visual intrusion of any part of the proposed buildings or signage
into Disneyland.
Add to Condition No. 3: If said storm drain is an improvement identified in
the assessment district discussed in connection with Condition No. 22 herein,
this developer shall be proportionally reimbursed to the extent that said
storm drain serves the Fujishige property to the south at the time development
of the Fujishige property takes place. Refer to Resolution Book.

The Mayor declared Resolution No. 84R-124 duly passed and adopted.
179: PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2538 AND NEGATIVE
DECLARATION:' Ap~lic~'tion submitted by Robert L. Wetzler and Ethel L. Wetzler,
to permit a convenience market with gasoline sales and off-sale beer and wine
on CL zoned property located at 934 South Beach Boulevard.
The City Planning Commission pursuant to Resolution PC84-28 approved the
negative declaration upon finding that it has considered the negative
declaration together with any comments received during the public review
process and further finding on the basis the initial study and any comments
received that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a
significant affect on the environment and further, denied Conditional Use
Permit No. 2538.
The decision of the Planning Commission was appealed by Robin Oil Company,
agent, and public hearing scheduled this date.
The Mayor asked to hear from the applicant or applicant's agent.
Mr. Tony Bristol, 1903 North Durpee, Los Angeles, General Manager, Robin Oil
stated he would like to present to the Council photographs of existing service
bay areas which they proposed to convert to a mini market in connection with
the gas station (made a part of the record). He also presanted a rendering
showing what the proposed project would look like. As they could see from the
photographs, the existing building was in desperate need of repair and
upgrading. The northeast corner of Beach Boulevard and Ball Road was the last
to be upgraded and their other three locations had already been completed.
Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer, in answer to Councilwoman Kaywood, reported
that Beach Boulevard had an average daily traffic (ADT) count of 46,000
vehicles and Bail Road, 23,000. He recommended.closure of one driveway
closest to the intersection on Ball Road.
Mayor Roth asked Mr. Bristol if he would accept that; Mr. Bristol answered,
"yes". He stated, in addition, the Planning Commission also specified that
they wished installation of a street light on the Ball Road side of their
property which they also agreed to.
Mayor Roth stated one of the things he had asked several weeks ago, due to the
fact that they had several of the subject operations in the City, he wanted to
know what had been generated relative to complaints either from the
neighborhood, police department or in general.
Miss Santalahti answered that they had nothing in writing. The only kinds of
violations had to do with signage on the property. Apparently with a mixed
use of this type, some of the on-site managers put up too many signs but that
was all.

Cit~ Hall,. Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 27., 1984, 10:00 A.M.
Councilwoman Kaywood reiterated her ongoing concerns relative to such
proposals that if automobiles were no longer serviced at stations as in the
past, that there would be more accidents, as well as her concern with dual
uses and triple uses interfering with existing businesses. What they would
see would be more people going out of business. She was very much opposed to
that.
Councilwoman Kaywood posed a line of questioning to Mr. Bristol relative to
the operation wherein he (Bristol) reported that relative to the sale of beer
and wine that, although they had not made a decision as to whether or not they
would be willing to have the operation without beer and wine, that it would be
doubtful, that there would be a minimum of one person on duty at all times and
two at peak times, that someone would oversee the situation so that no
gasoline would be dispensed into portable containers, that there would be
sandwiches or coffee to eat on the premises and that the attendant would be
monitoring the disposal of cups, napkins, etc.
The Mayor asked to hear from anyone who wished to speak.
Mr. John D. Witt, President of Robin Oil, first clarified as discussed earlier
that the property was 147 by 150 feet and they had additional easements beyond
that property that made it larger.
Mayor Roth interjected and noted that the plot map showed it to be 125 feet by
125 feet although he realized they had some additional amount of driveway
because of the adjacent restaurant.
Mr. Witt continued that they felt the proposal was a positive upgrade for the
service station at that location and urged approval of the permit. He also
confirmed for Councilwoman Kaywood that Robin Oil had been the tenant at that
location since 1972.
Mr. Robert L. Wetzler, 926 South Beach Boulevard, stated that relative to what
Councilwoman Kaywood stated earlier relating to the number of cars at that
intersection, a few years ago the station was pumping between 100,000 and
130,000 gallons of gasoline per month, the point being with the traffic
situation during that high peak, they never had any problems with traffic.
With the new mini-convenience market, it would reduce the traffic tremendously
and that in itself was a plus. The proposed location was an ideal spot for
the traveler and those in the immediate area. It was good for the community
and surrounding area.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked Mr. Wetzier if he owned the Beach-Ball corner,
Lyndy's restaurant and the motel; Mr. Wetzler answered "yes".
The Mayor closed the public hearing.

Before a vote was taken Councilwoman Kaywood asked the Mayor if he wanted to
stipulate that there be no written or paper signs on the windows.
Mayor Roth answered that he was asking the applicant to stipulate to the sign
ordinance of the City which was automatic.
City Attorney Hopkins stated that the requirement would be on anyone to obey
the ordinances of the City whether stipulated to or not, and the City would
take action against any violator.
Mr. Bristol agreed that they would not violate the sign ordinance.
Miss Santalahti stated that one modification to the conditions need to include
that all the improvements prior to any commencement of the activities
approved, specifically the convenience market and off sale liquor sales, i.e.,
that Condition No. 8 be deleted, No. 7 be renumbered No. 6, and No. 6 be
renumbered No. 7, and requiring that all of the conditions herein shall be
satisfied prior to commencement of the activity herein approved.
Councilman Roth clarified that his resolution included the forgoing amendments
as articulated by Miss Santalahti; Mr. Bristol agreed to those as well.
