129: PETITION BANNING FIREWORKS: Councilman Overholt moved to communicate
the City's opposition to State restrictions on local ability to ban the sale of
"safe and sane" fireworks to the Governor should the Senate approve it on a
concurrence file without a referral to a policy committee, as recommended in
memorandum dated January 13, 1982, from the Intergovernmental Relations office.
Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Council discussion then followed with the City Clerk relative to the time
frame involved should it be decided to place the issue on a ballot to ban
the sale and use of all fireworks and firework stands, excluding controlled
professional displays (see minutes December 15, 1981, where the matter was
discussed and petitions previously submitted), should SB 999 not come to pass.
At the conclusion of discussion, it was determined that on February 2, 1982,
the matter would be agendized, at which time a decision would be made on whether
or not a public hearing would be held on the issue on February 16, 1982, thereby
leaving sufficient time for a ballot measure should that be the outcome.
105: REPORT RELATING TO THE STATUS OF THE YOUTH COMMISSION: Mayor Seymour
referred to Page 4 of the Deputy City Manager's report dated September 23, 1981,
which reflected four alternatives to the current Youth Commission structure. He
thereupon moved that they adopt Alternative No. 1--"Reduce the Commission to
a Standing Committee status to work to organize a Youth-In-Government Day and
to inform the City of youth-related problems." Councilman Bay seconded the
motion.
Before a vote was taken, Council Members expressed their views, Councilmen
Overholt, Bay and Roth speaking in support, Councilwoman Kaywood speaking
against since she maintained that if the Commission were reduced to a Standing
Committee, that would be the end of it. She was in favor of Alternative No. 4.
75
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 19, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Roth was hopeful that they could receive input from the School District
expressing their views regarding changing the Commission to a Standing Committee;
Councilman Overholt thereupon suggested that the matter be continued to give the
District an opportunity to respond.
MOTION: After Deputy City Manager, James Ruth, confirmed that input had not been
solicited from the School District, Councilman Overholt moved to continue the
matter for three weeks in order to receive input from the District. Councilwoman
Kaywood seconded the motion. Councilman Bay voted No. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Bay maintained that Alternative No. 1 was a better course of action
for the Council to take since he did not feel, because the Commission would be
a Standing Committee, they were going to lose the benefits.
115: ANAHEIM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE - REQUEST FOR INSTALLATION OF CIVIC CENTER
DIRECTIONAL SIGNS: Councilman Bay referred to report dated January 13~ 1982,
from the City Engineer, wherein it is recommended the request for seven
directional signs on the freeway be denied due to the lack of minimum criteria,
but further recommended approval of eight directional signs on City-controlled
public right-of-way. If the Council denied the freeway signs because of the
problems with Cal-Trans, he asked if it were possible that the Chamber might
want to add six more signs in lieu of the freeway signs, or a total of fourteen
signs, at $150.00 apiece, or approximately $2,000 which he assumed would be
appropriated from the Council Contingency Fund.
Traffic Engineer, Paul Singer, answered yes to the first part of Councilman Bay's
question, but relative to the latter, City Manager William Talley answered the
recommendation was that the cost figures be accomodated in next year's budget and
be a part of the budgeting process.
Mr. Les Riddell, President, Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, concurred with the
suggestion of fourteen signs. Their subcommittee came up with a total of
twenty-one locations, including the freeway signs. He advised he would
request the Committee to consider additional locations to replace the freeway
signs.
106: MOTION: Councilman Roth stated his direction would be to have the signs
installed now and not wait for the budgeting process to take place. He there-
upon moved the following at the suggestion of Mr, Talley--that the request for
Civic Center Directional Signs be approved and that $2,000 be appropriated
from the Council Contingency Funds for eight signs at surface street locations
as indicated on the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce list, and for staff to work with
the Chamber on the six. additional locations, for a total of fourteen signs.
Councilman Bay seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

Overholt, the following actions were authorized in accordance with the reports

ORDINANCE NO. 4302: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING TITLE 18
OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO ZONING.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Bay asked if the subject Reclassification
had any variances to the current RM-3000 since he had stated his position
on RM-3000 some time ago,--that he would not vote for any RM-3000 that
included variances.
The Assistant Director for Zoning answered tha~ as indicated in the Planning
Commission Minutes, the project would be built to code with no variances
requested.
Councilwoman Kaywood suggested that next time a notation be made accordingly so
that it would not be necessary to have to stop and look it up.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing Ordinance.

The Mayor declared Ordinance No. 4302 duly passed and adopted.
149/142: PROPOSED ORDINANCE - NO PARKING ANY TIME - PORTION OF BROOKHURST
STREET: Amending Subsection 14.32.190.410 of the Code, No Parking At Any Time--
Streets Designated, to include Brookhurst Street on the east side, from the
North City Limits to Crescent Avenue and from Lincoln Avenue to Broadway; and
on the west side, from the North City Limits to Crescent Avenue and from Lincoln
Avenue to Broadway (continued from the meeting of January 12, 1982--see minutes
that date).
Mr. Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer, referred to the posted map of the subject
area supplementing the City Engineer's extensive report of January 14, 1982,
attached to which was an off-street parking opportunity survey for both sides
of Brookhurst Street between Crescent Avenue and the Riverside Freeway, as re-
quested by the Council at the meeting of January 19, 1982 (on file in the City
Clerk's office).
After questioning Mr. Singer relative to certain points in his report, the Mayor
asked if anyone wished to speak to the matter (see minutes of January 12, 1982,
where extensive input was received).
Mr. J. W. Davis, Jr., 1246 North Brookhurst, explained that a group of the residents,
including the fifty plus people who signed the petition in opposition to no parking,
met to discuss the situation and formulated a proposition for Council consideration,
consisting of several alternatives that could be instituted, alleviating the
necessity for the proposed No Parking. Mr. Davis then elaborated upon and outlined
the proposals by the residents. They were also requesting the same police
radar surveillance and speed enforcement in their area as given to the area
between Crescent Street and Lincoln Avenue on Brookhurst Street, a matter which
82
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 19, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
he broached at the meeting of January 12, 1982. In concluding, he emphasized that
their main objection was to the fact that they would not be able to park their
vehicles on the street and guests would not be able to visit since they would
have no place to park. They felt that technically, no street parking in an
R-1 zone could possibly be discriminatory. If the alternatives they proposed
did not work after an eight or ten month trial and study, they would concede to
the No Parking as proposed.
Mr. Dennis Mills, 1252 North Brookhurst, disputed a point made by the Traffic
Engineer that left turns could not feasibly be installed, as recommended in
Mr. Davis' presentation, at Huntington, and he referred to several examples
of similar situations.
Mr. Singer then answered Mr. Mills, as well as additional questions posed by the
Council. At the conclusion of discussion and questioning, Councilman Bay stated
he would like to explore any other off-street parking that might be available,
but if he had to decide now, relative to the amount of potential off-street
parking versus the safety problem in that area, he would have to go with adding
the left turn lanes and cutting the parking.
The Mayor was in support of statements made by Councilman Bay but had yet to be
satisfied that a sincere attempt had been made to identify alternative off-street
parking, particularly in the alleys. He was not going to support the recommendation
until he was afforded another week to walk those alleys himself.
MOTION: Councilman Seymour moved to continue consideration of the proposed
Ordinance for one week. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. MOTION
CARRIED.
RECESS: By general consent, the Council recessed for ten minutes (3:40 p.m.).
AFTER RECESS: The Mayor called the meeting to order, all Council Members
being present (3:57 p.m.).
CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - RECLASSIFICATION NO. 81-82-3, VARIANCE
NO. 3238 AND TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 11637: Application submitted by The Fieldstone
Company, for a change in zone from RS-A-43,000 to RM-3000 to establish a 2-lot,
105-unit condominium subdivision on property located at the northwest corner
of Romneya Drive and Coronet Avenue and at the southeast corner of Medical
Center Drive and Coronet Avenue, with a Code waiver of minimum lot area per
dwelling unit. This matter was continued from the meeting of January 5, 1982,
when extensive discussion and input was received (see minutes that date).
Jack L. White, Assistant City Attorney, acted as City Attorney for this
portion of the meeting as Mr. William P. Hopkins had announced a conflict
of interest.
83
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 19, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
Ms. Santalahti, Assistant Director for Zoning, submitted to the Council four
sheets of data; the first page titled "Anaheim Shores Planned Community--As of
January 13, 1982," the first page containing statistics; the second, a map of
the community as of January 1982; the third, statistics on Reclassification
No. 73-74-36 and the fourth, a map of the Anaheim Shores Planned Community
under that reclassification.
The Mayor asked to hear from the applicant or applicant's agent.
Mr. Peter Ochs, President of Fieldstone, then made a presentation which included
a brief background on their proposed project from its inception, as well as the
background with regard to density, an issue which arose at the January 5, 1982,
meeting, and which took them by surprise. His presentation was supplemented by
two transparencies, the first entitled - Anaheim Shores - Matrcyek Homes -
Land Use and Population Element; the second, an overlay showing the property
as it existed today. In concluding, Mr. Ochs explained that they had looked
at the matter f~fteen or twenty different ways to see if the density they were
requesting was somehow not consistent with the General Plan as approved and as
shown on the map, with comments made by the Council at that time, and in no
way did they find that they were inconsistent. They also sought out the man who
probably knew more about that plan than any other, Mr. Jim Christiansen, who was
working for Matreyek in 1974 and personally handled all staff, Planning Commission,
and City Council meetings, and meetings with local neighbors, as well as other
negotiations and details involved with the approval of the project. He thereupon
introduced Mr. Christiansen and asked that he give his understanding of what the
approvals entailed at that time.
Mr. Jim Christiansen, 3822 Campus Drive, Newport Beach, then reported on his
understanding relative to the ultimate approval of the planned community of
Anaheim Shores which took place in 1974. In the final analysis, and as was
recorded in the minutes, the'overall density was 11.3, but due to changes, they
were on%y going to end up with a density of eight to nine units on the first
phase. The important issue was the fact that it was all one package--selling
the park to the City at a reasonable rate, installing the extensive flood
control measures, etc., that were an integral part of the whole project. It
was a master-planned community of Anaheim Shores which he understood allowed
the developer to have no more than 11.3 units to the acre. There was no
given density for each individual area, as long as they did not exceed 11.3
for the overall density of the project. It did not appear to him that the
Fieldstone Project exceeded the 11.3 unit~ to the acre overall.
Extensive discussion and questioning followed between Councilman Bay and
Mr. Christiansen, mainlY revolving around the density issue.
Mr. Ochs then reported that since the meeting of January 5, 1982, they had spent
time with the homeowners to try to get as many of their concerns on paper as
possible to determine what they could do to alleviate those concerns so that the
resultant community would be the best possible. Mr. David Langlois had handled
those discussions. He thereupon asked Mr. Langlois to make a summary report.
84
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 19, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
Mr. David Langlois, 12422 LaBella, Santa Ana, briefed the Council on discussions
that had taken place and also reiterated some of the points made in his presentation
of January 5, 1982 (see minutes that date). They went back to September when
negotiations started and made a list of every concern of the residents out of which
came a nine-point proposal, which he delivered to the Board of the Anaheim Shores
Owners Association (ASOA) at their meeting last night. He then submitted a copy
of the proposal (made a part of the record--see letter dated January 18, 1982,
to the Board of Directors, ASOA, from David Langlois, Vice President). If the
property were developed as condominiums, the nine points would go a long way to
mitigate the concerns expressed. The steps outlined would add a total cost to
Fieldstone of between $200,000 to $250,000; however, it was crucial to them
that they maintained the proposed density. Relative to the fence (Item 1),
they still felt strongly that it was not a good idea, but conceded that if
that was what it would take to get the project accomplished, they would provide
it. An alternative they wanted to offer, in the event the project was approved
at the density requested, and if the Board felt the fence was not a good idea,
was to offer the cost of that fence to use as they saw fit, an amount of
approximately $20,000.
Mr. Ochs maintained that there were a number of items on the list that
were over and above the project requirements. They went to the maximum
not only to meet the objections with the interface, but also, the concerns that
the committee had to make it a better community. They had gone through an
exhaustive process of reexamining the density issue and looking at all the City
documents, all the recollections of staff, all the published reports, the maps,
and the recollections of the individual who presented it. It was very clear what
they were proposing was very much in keeping with the original approvals and they
were not asking for anything beyond that. They hoped to build an attractive project
that would be an asset, and respectfully requested approval of their request
incorporating the nine-point proposal.
Councilwoman Kaywood recalled that two weeks ago, the reason the Council did not
deny the proposal was to permit the developer to go back and look to see how he could
redesign the project to result in lower density; Mr. Ochs stated that was not his
understanding. They wanted an opportunity to reexamine the situation since there
was a great deal of confusion related to the numbers.
The Mayor then asked to hear from those who wished to speak:
Mr. Clifford R. Harper, 1975 Bayshore, confirmed that the nine-point proposal
was presented to the Board at their meeting last night. He noted in Item 1,
where it stated "Coronet Avenue to the Lake," that it was perhaps meant to say
"Romneya." (This was confirmed by the developer from the audience.) He then
expressed his concern over what would occur to the property on the western
boundary of the lake if the subject project were approved at 105 units. He
then asked to have a copy of the material submitted to the Council by staff.
85
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 19, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
At present, there were 175 dwelling units in their community. If Fieldstone
Condominiums were built, as well as those to the south (Wellington Group), that
would add another 175 units. If another 300 were built west of the lake, they
would have an incredible condominium city built around them which they did not
anticipate and never envisioned as a part of the plan. He would agree with
Mr. Langlois that the Fieldstone Company had still not alleviated the primary
concern, especially of those people who must now look out at a different
community than they were led to believe would be there when they bought their homes.
That was essentially the concern of the Association.
Mr. Harper then explained for Councilwoman Kaywood that relative to the nine
points, they would not ask to approve or disapprove the proposal, but it was
presented as a "consolation prize." In discussing it with some of the people,
there was still not unanimity that the developer had done everything they had
wanted. At the last hearing, the Mayor commented if it were the will of the
Anaheim Shores people that the development not be associated with the lake, he
would allow them to build it out as a wall. There were still people in the
Association that would prefer that. He would like to retain the option of the
wall if the Mayor had not changed his mind. He later clarified for Councilman
Overholt that as one member of the Board, the 105 units with the agreement was
better than 105 units without it.
Mayor Seymour clarified that. what he intended was the construction of a fence
that would prevent direct access to the shore of the lake. The following people
then spoke and expressed the below listed concerns: Rudy Hutchinson, 1866 West
Surf; Helen Carter, 1945 Bayshore Drive; Mary Hill, ASOA Board Member; Ron Beckman,
1874 West Surf. They held title to the common area and paid for it; in retrospect,
there was a lack of credibility when they bought their homes as to what would
occur on the property; the development would interfere with the privacy of the
existing residents, and the residents in the proposed project would be sharing
in the amenities of Anaheim Shores which was supposed to be reserved for the
residents who bought homes in the community; the high density was objectionable.
The Mayor then asked Mr. Ochs to make his summation; Mr. Ochs spoke to the concerns
expressed stating that there were some they could meet and others they could not.
He then expanded upon the development, which in finality, he maintained, would be
a credit to the community. He also confirmed, for Councilwoman Kaywood, that
relative to the minimum number of units that could be built still resulting in
a viable project were the 105 units as proposed. He emphasized that the nine-
point proposal had addad on,-quarter million dollar~ to their co~t~, over and
above where they were after being approved by the Planning Commission. Those
were dollars they did not feel they could recoup in their sales price.
The Mayor closed the public hearing.
Councilwoman Kaywood offered a resolution to deny the reclassification and variance,
stating she could not accept a net density of 19.6 for the 105 units proposed.
86
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 19, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
Before further action was taken, extensive discussion, debate and questioning
followed between the Council and staff revolving around the issue of density,
the intent at the time the General Plan on the Anaheim Shores project was
adopted, and the figures contained in the new data presented by staff (a
partial verbatim transcript from the closing of the public hearing to the end
of the hearing is on file in the City Clerk's office).
The Mayor stated he was going to oppose the resolution to deny and enumerated
his reasons. He could not go back on his word of 1974 when he was on the Council
and a party to the decision made at that time. He agreed with Mr. Christiansen's
recollection of what occurred in 1974. Relative to the variance, the Code calls
for 3,000 square feet and what was being asked for was 2,937 square feet of land
area, or a 2.1 percent difference. Further, although he was opposed to the
resolution, if there should be support on the Council to hold Fieldstone to what
they reduced to writing in their proposal, he could support that. Relative
to the property on the western boundary, he recommended that they take whatever
action was necessary as a Council to hold to the densities already approved.
Councilman Overholt stated he was going to oppose the resolution since he felt
what was going to develop out of the hearing would be a project compatible with
the Anaheim Shores community. He did not hear any residents say outright that
they could not live with a project that had any more than 80 units but that
there was concern over privacy, the use of the lake, vagrants, etc. He agreed
with the Mayor that as much control as possible be exercised on the further
development of the remaining parcels so that it would be developed consistent
and compatible with Anaheim Shores. He would also like to see, as a condition
of approval, a commitment by the developer that he would do any one, or all,
of the things promised, subject to the approval of the ASOA. He was also going
to approve the variance because it was what he deemed diminimous. A vote
was then taken on the foregoing resolution of denial which failed to carry by
the following vote:

Councilman Seymour offered Resolution Nos. 82R-31 and 82R-32 for adoption, the
first approving Reclassification No. 81-82-3, and the second, granting Variance
No. 3238, subject to the Planning Commission recommendations and conditions,
and subject to the additions arrived at during extensive Council
discussion following the offering of the resolutions and as stipulated to
by the applicant, to wit: that approval include the nine-point proposal
contained in letter of January 18, 1982, from the Fieldstone Company, David R.
Langlois, Vice President, which letter was directed to the Board of Directors
of the Anaheim Shores Owners Association; Item 1 to be corrected to change
Coronet to Romneya and striking the word easement with reference to lake
access rather than easement thereafter; the Anaheim Shores Owners Association
shall be provided reasonable time, not to exceed two months, in order to
poll their membership to determine which, if any, of the nine points covered
in the agreement are acceptable or any they might wish to "exchange." Refer
to Resolution Book.

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 19, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
RESOLUTION NO. 82R-31: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT TITLE 18 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE
RELATING TO ZONING SHOULD BE AMENDED AND THAT THE BOUNDARIES OF CERTAIN
ZONES SHOULD BE CHANGED. (Reclassification No. 81-82-3)
RESOLUTION NO. 82R-32: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM GRANTING VARIANCE NO. 3238.
Earlier in the meeting, Councilman Bay had expressed his reasons for support
of the resolutions to deny, and thus, his reasons for opposition to the
resolutions of approval. Speaking to the variance, there was no way he could
vote for any waiver or variance to the current RM-3000 zone as he had expressed
several times in the past, and consistent with the firm stand he took at the
time of its adoption. With regard to density, his concern not only revolved
around the impact that the proposed density would have on the people presently
living in the community, but also the impact such a decision would have on
the western section of the community, backing up to an R-1 where an owner might
sell to a developer wanting to use up the rest of the housing count on that
property and the resultant impact to that whole area. Relative to the southern
property (La Palma and Romneya) and the requested change from commercial to
residential (i.e., the Wellington Group proposal and request for a General Plan
Amendment), that was a different and separate issue since it was not an original
part of the whole planned community.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing resolutions with the additional conditions
as stipulated.
AYES:
NOES:

The Mayor declared Resolution Nos. 82R-31 and 82R-32, both inclusive, duly passed
and adopted.
MOTION: Councilman Seymour moved to approve Tentative Tract No. 11637, subject to
the conditions as listed at the outset of the previous hearing which took place
on January 5, 1982 (see minutes that date). Councilman Roth seconded the motion.
Council Members Kaywood and Bay voted No. MOTION CARRIED.
MOTION: Councilman Seymour moved to direct staff to prepare a General Plan
Amendment impacting the property on the western boundary to reflect the existing
approved density. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Bay stated he agreed with the motion but he
wanted to be certain that they would not only hold to the density, but also,
voice their intent to hold to some of the setbacks and the two stories agreed
to as the Plan went through the last process. He was hoping that the intent
of the Council was to keep those as close to the Plan as possible.
88
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 19, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Seymour stated, as he understood, a tentative tract map had been approved
and if he (Bay) or any other member of the public wanted to see on paper the
intent of his motion, they merely had to review that map.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED unanimously.
176: PUBLIC HEARING - ABANDONMENT NO. 81-19A: In accordance with application
filed by the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency, a public hearing was held on proposed
abandonment of a portion of dedicated right-of-way of Claudina Street, Lincoln
Avenue, and a portion of dedicated public alley, all located approximately at
the northeast corner of Old Lincoln Avenue and Claudina Street, pursuant to
Resolution No. 81R-589, duly published in the Anaheim Bulletin, notices thereof
posted in accordance with law.
Report of the City Engineer, dated January 6, 1981, and a recommendation by the
Planning Commission, were submitted recommending approval of said abandonment.
Mayor Seymour asked if anyone wished to address the Council; there being no
response, he closed the Public Hearing.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION: On motion by Councilwoman
Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Roth, the City Council ratified the determination
of the Planning Director that the proposed activity falls within the definition
of Section 3.01, Class 5, of the City of Anaheim guidelines to the requirements
for an Environmental Impact Report and is, therefore, categorically exempt
from the requirement to file an Environmental Impact Report. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilwoman Kaywood offered Resolution No. 82R-33 for adoption approving
Abandonment No. 81-19A. Refer to Resolution Book.

DECLARATION AND CLOSURE OF PATT STREET, N/O LA PALMA AVENUE: Submitted by the
Community Development Department and Engineering Division, to consider an
amendment to the Circulation Element of the General Plan to change the current
designation of Patt Street between Commercial Street and La Palma Avenue
from a secondary arterial highway to a local street, and also to consider the
closure of Patt Street at a point 655 feet north of La Palma Avenue, pursuant
to Section 21101 of the Vehicle Code of the State of California.
89
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 19, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Jay Tashiro, Associate Planner, briefed the Staff Report to the Planning
Commission dated December 14, 1981, relative to the subject proposal, requested
by the Community Development Department and Engineering Division, to change
the current designation of Part Street between Commercial Street and La Palma
Avenue from a secondary arterial highway to a local street.
The Planning Commission, in their Resolution No. PC81-264, recommended approval
of Exhibit "A" (which was posted on the Chamber wall), designating Part Street
between Commercial Street and La Palma Avenue as a local street and, further,
declared that the subject project be exempt from the requirement to prepare
an Environmental Impact Report, pursuant to the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act, since there would be no significant individual
or cumulative adverse environmental impact due to this project.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to speak.
Mr. John Ybarra, 1025 North Part Street, stated that they were in complete
accord with the closure.
Mr. William Erickson, 301 North Street, stated his only concern was relative
to the property in the industrial area. They had been using the street for
a number of years and he wanted to know if they had been contacted and were
they agreeable to the closure.
Mr. Joel Fick, Assistant Director for Planning, explained that they had been
contacted and that the Community Development Department had been working with
both the industrial tenants in the area as well as the homeowners.
Mr. David Vidadich, 191 Alice Way, Plant Manager, Stepan Chemical Company,
stated that his firm was in favor of the closure of Patt Street. They had
numerous meetings With Community Development on this issue. Representatives
from two other plants were present earlier, and as far as he knew, they were
also in accord.
There being no further persons who wished to speak, the Mayor closed the public
hearing.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECLARATION: On motion by Councilwoman
Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Roth, the City Council finds that this project
would hav~ no ~ignificant individual or cumulatiw advar~ ~nvir0nm~ntal impact
due to the approval of this Negative Declaration since no sensitive environmental
impacts are involved in the proposal; that the initial study submitted by the
petitioner indicates no significant individual or cumulative adverse environmental
impact, and is, therefore, exempt from the requirement to prepare an Environmental
Impact Report. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Roth offered Resolution No. 82R-34 and 82R-35 for adoption, the first
approving General Plan Amendment No. 173, Exhibit "A" as recommended by the
City Planning Commission, and the second, approving the closure of Patt Street,
north of La Palma Avenue, as recommended. Refer to Resolution Book.

142/149: PROPOSED ORDINANCE - NO PARKING ANY TIME, AVENIDA DE SANTIAGO:
Amending Subsection 14.32.190.2010 of the Code, No Parking At Any Time--
Streets Designated, to include Avenida de Santiago, on the south side, from
Hidden Canyon Road to, and including, its entire western c~l-de-sac.
The Mayor asked if anyone was present to speak to the proposed Ordinance.
Mr. Cliff Springmeyer, 16119 Avenida de Santiago, was opposed to the No Parking,
as proposed, because there was no reason for anyone from a true traffic
standpoint to be on the street unless they were an owner or visitor. There
was a problem relative to the cul-de-sac at the top of the road where there
were no homes but where kids tended to congregate.
He was requesting that "No Parking, No Loitering, No Stopping" be posted at
the top of the hill, but to have no parking on the street, either side, did
not make sense. Mrs. Oscar Martin stated her husband was president of the
Anaheim Ridge Estates Homeowners Association and she drew up a petition that
was previously submitted. They wanted the "No Parking" signs removed from
both sides of Avenida de Santiago but at the cul-de-sac, they wanted to have
"No Parking, No Loitering," etc., to prevent to problems they were experiencing
with the youth utilizing that cul-de-sac to congregate.
Traffic Engineer, Paul Singer, explained that he had no objection to the request
just presented and recommended that the parking ordinance be rescinded, that
the curbs be painted red in the cul-de-sac, and "No Loitering" signs be in-
stalled; City Attorney Hopkins felt that the red curbs and "No Parking" signs
would be sufficient, but that the "No Loitering" signs would be questionable.
91
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 19, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Roth requested that the last half-block area leading to the cul-de-
sac, as well as the cul-de-sac, be signed.
Mayor Seymour directed, with Council concurrence, that action be taken to
rescind the ordinance restricting parking on both sides of Avenida de Santiago,
and that signing measures be used to reduce the loitering problem in the
cul-de-sac.
