MINUTES: Approval of the minutes was deferred to the next regular meeting.

FINANCIAL DEMANDS AGAINST THE CITY in the amount of $2,165,751.95, in accordance
with the 1981-82 Budget, were approved.
167: OPPOSITION TO REMOVAL OF PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC SIGNAL - KNOTT AVENUE AT
HANSEN SCHOOL: City Manager William Talley briefed the Council on memorandum
dated January 26, 19'82, from the City Engineer (on file in the City Clerk's
office), revolving around the subject, a matter which surfaced that morning.
The signal was in the process of being removed but he ordered that work be
stopped so that if the Council wanted to take a different course of action,
they would have an opportunity to do so today. A representative from the
Savanna School District was present to speak to the matter.
Dr. Thomas Garnella, Assistant Superintendent of the Savanna School District,
stated he was present on behalf of the District and its patrons, and also, at
the request of the Traffic Engineer, relative to their concern over the existing
crosswalk and light at 1330 South Knott Avenue between Apollo Junior High School,
now closed, and the Hansen School. He then presented his case as to why they
felt the light should not be removed.
Discussion and questioning between the Council and Dr. Garnella followed, after
which the Mayor asked if there were other members of the public who wished to
speak to the issue.
The following people spoke in opposition to the removal of the pedestrian signal
and crosswalk as a matter of safety for their children and adults in the area,
as well as for the future residents of potential development on the Apollo School
site: Helen Nahera, resident on the west side of Knott Avenue; Linda McGoldrick
and Joan Hayes, members of the Board of Trustees of the Savanna School District.
Mayor Seymour, speaking to Dr. Garnella, stated it was unfortunate that a repre-
sentative of the Savanna School District was not present at the School Traffic
Safety Committee meeting of February 19, 1981, when removal of the signal was
recommended, and that School District representatives had attended only one
such meeting in 1981.
Discussion and questioning followed between the Council, Traffic Engineer and
Dr. Garnella, at the conclusion of which, Councilman Seymour moved: (1) That
the signal be reactivated; (2) That they proceed immediately with the installa-
tion of the signal on Magnolia at-Greenfield; (3) That the subject signal and
its warrants be referred back to the School Traffic Safety Committee, providing
the Savanna School District an opportunity to give their input. Councilwoman
Kaywood seconded the motion.
94
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 26, 1982~ 1:30 P.M.
Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood asked the Traffic Engineer, if
the signal were left in place, but making it clear it was an existing signal,
whether that would cause a problem with the School Traffic Safety Committee.
Traffic Engineer Paul Singer stated they were going to ask the Committee their
opinion and findings regarding retention of the signal. Relative to a precedent,
he felt there would be some impact.
Mayor Seymour commented, if the final recommendation was to keep the signal in
place, subsequently the Council and the School Traffic Safety Committee should
be prepared to address similar circumstances that would undoubtedly occur.
Once they started to compromise the process at the Safety Committee level, they
were going to have a rash of requests, and properly justified; Mr. Singer
added that he could foresee well over two hundred such requests at $25,000
each or better.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED.
127: GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION - JUNE 8~ 1982: City Clerk Linda Roberts
briefed the Council on her memorandum dated January 21, 1982~ relative to the
subject, and also adopting regulations for candidates pertaining to material
submitted to the electorate and costs thereof, i.e., candidates' statements.
Councilwoman Kaywood offered Resolution No. 82R-35 for adoption, as recommended
in memorandum dated January 21, 1982, from the City Clerk. Refer to Resolution
Book.
RESOLUTION NO. 82R-35: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM,

Councilman Roth then referred to the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce recommendation
of January 22, 1982, that the Council establish a 400-word limit for City Council
candidates' statements, instead of 200 words, attached to which was a background
paper explaining the reason for their recommendation (on file in the City Clerk's
office). He had attended the Chamber luncheon wherein the Resolution to
95
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 26~ 1982~ 1:30 P.M.
recommend same was unanimously passed and he felt the idea had merit. Although
it would cost the candidate $1600 instead of $800, it would be the most economical
way of providing campaigning material with which to reach the public. However,
concern was expressed with regard to potential cost to the taxpayers for the
Spanish translation.
City Clerk Roberts explained that should the statements be set at 400 words, in
the final analysis, the cost to the City for the Spanish translation would be
approximately $5400 overall.
Councilman Bay offered Resolution No. 82R-36 for adoption, adopting regulations
for candidates for elective office pertaining to materials submitted to the
electorate and the costs thereof for said election, in accordance with the
.recommendation of the City Clerk in memorandum dated January 21, 1982, with
candidate statements being limited to 200 words. Refer to Resolution Book.

123/177: REQUEST FOR AMENDMENTS TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENT - PADILLA DEVELOPMENT
COMPANY, 125 WEST SOUTH STREET: Executive Director of Community Development,
Norman Priest, briefed the Council on his detailed memorandum dated January 18,
1982, relative to the subject request, attached to which was a copy of the
proposed amended.agreement (on file in the City Clerk's office). They had been
notified by Padilla Development and various lenders that take-out financing for
the Affordable Housing Development could not be acquired because the Federal
Home Mortgage Loan Corporation would not approve projects that did not meet their
policy requirements. Since lenders would be unable to sell their loans on the
secondary market because of the regulations, Padilla Development had been unable
to secure a lender for the take-out financing.
Councilwoman Kaywood expressed her concern, as she had in the past, on this and
similar projects, that they were given a density bonus to begin with and by
removing the controls altogether, one person could receive a windfall and the
affordable housing would be gone. She was reasonably certain that their original
decision could have been different if the facts were known at the time, and she
was going to have to oppose the request.
Councilman Overholt asked if it were correct to state that the requested amendment
would remove ali restrictions or any with respect to foreclosures; Mr. Priest
answered, with respect to foreclosures and all in excess of 30 percent, it
removed a resale restriction. It was a requirement that had been opposed which
had not been foreseen by them, the lender or the developer at the time of the
agreement. It did not remove all restrictions.
Mro Padilla then answered questions posed by b~yor Seymour in which he (Padilla)
explained some of the difficulties he was experiencing relative to financing and
the adverse impact it would have on his project should his request not be
granted.
MOTION: Councilman Roth moved to authorize an amendment to the Affordable
Housing Agreement with Padilla Development Company, to exempt any lender and
any subsequent buyers receiving title through the procedure of foreclosure from
resale controls and to include all Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
requirements, as recommended in memorandum dated January 18, 1982, from the
Executive Director of Community Development. Councilman Overholt seconded
the motion.
97
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 26~ 1982~ 1:30 P.M.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Bay stated he intended to vote for the
motion on this specific case; however, he was concerned about future cases
involving the 100 percent affordables and 100 percent density bonuses given
and the effect of such a change on those. As they considered future projects
with density bonuses related to affordable, the change should be fully under-
stood at the time they made their decision.
Mr. Priest stated, had anyone known at the outset, it would have been brought to the
attention of the Council, but the change had just come to light very recently through
the lenders~ Councilman Bay presumed then that they would be reviewing every
project where there were high density bonuses given, already built or in the
process of being built.
Mr. Priest stated there would be at least one he would be discussing with the
Council later today where that would be the case.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. Councilwoman Kaywood voted "no."
MOTION CARRIED.

City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 26~ 1982, 1:30 P.M.
134: CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 171 AND NEGATIVE
DECLARATION: Application by Sunset of California Homes, Inc., for amendment
to the Land Use Element to consider an alternate proposal of land use from
the current General Commercial designation to Low-Medium Density Residential for
approximately 5.8 gross acres of land located on the northeast corner of La Palma
Avenue and Romneya Drive. (Continued from the meetings of January 5, 1982, and
January 12, 1982--see minutes those dates.)
The City Planning Commission, in their Resolution No. PC81-263, recommended
approval of Exhibit "A" (which was posted on the Chamber wall), changing the
current General Commercial designation to Low-Medium Density Residential with
the property owner proposing to develop a condominium complex consisting of
sixty to seventy dwelling units.
Councilman Bay requested staff to clarify the specific amount of acreage involved
and the differences in gross and net. At the conclusion of this discussion,
Councilman Bay stated his main point was that from 1974 to 1976, he did not recall
when they talked about densities that public streets were ever a portion of the
acreage in calculating those densities. Now he was being told that public streets,
to the center line, were a part of the gross acreage for doing so. He was
concerned that when they talked about ~M-3000, it was now a total surprise to
him in the last few weeks that they were including public street area in calculat-
ing gross density for an RM-3000 zone. He wanted to know specifically when
calculating RM-3000 in the Low and Medium General Plan, if they were including
public street acreage; Associate Planner Jay Tashiro confirmed that was correct.
Councilman Bay concluded that was a big change from what they did a few years
ago.
Assistant Planning Director for Zoning, Annika Santalahti, explained that when
RM-3000 was specifically addressed under the current standard, public streets
had never been included. She was not aware that any zoning action had ever
occurred where public streets were allowed to be counted. In the 1974 and 1976
discussions, the Exhibits and Texts of the Plans did go back and forth.
Councilman Bay surmised then that the RM-3000 on a gross density calculation
did not include public streets, but they were talking about 4.4 acres for
dwelling unit calculations; Miss Santalahti clarified that the RM-3000 did
exclude the public streets and, thus, the 4.4 acres excluded the public
streets.
The Mayor asked to hear from the applicant or applicant's agent.
Mr. Frank Hughes, representing The Wellington Group, agents for the applicant,
14771 Plaza Drive, Tustin, stated that they hoped the action today would be
two-fold--(1) That there be a change in designation on the General Plan from
Commercial to Residential and, (2) Since it was important to minimize any mis-
understandings, that he be able to preview for the Council tbeir plan for the
100
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 26, 1982~ 1:30 P.M.
proposed development, number of units, and etc., and that the action be concurrent
so that when they returned to the City in a couple or three weeks, there would be
no misunderstanding existing. Mr. Hughes then described the proposed project,
supplementing his verbal presentation with exhibits which were posted on the
Chamber wall. He pointed out that the plan was now for 64 dwelling units,
whereas their former plan indicated 70 units. He then explained how they
arrived at the 64-unit figure. They felt that their present plan responded to
,.t~e concerns they heard from staff, the Council, the Planning Commission and the
homeowners. In concluding, Mr. Hughes asked that favorable consideration be
given to the General Plan Amendment and that the property be designated for
Residential use for not less than 64 units.
Miss Santalahti then clarified for Councilwoman Kaywood that the proposed project
with 64 units would comply with RM-3000 zoning, at somewhere equal to or under
14.52 units per acre.
Mr. Hughes then clarified for Councilman Bay that relative to the Anaheim Shores
Owners Association (ASOA), it was his understanding after having had meetings
and continuing conversations with the group, that their official position was
that they had no opposition to the development in accordance'with the documents
submitted on January 5, 1982 (see Statement of the Applicant--The Wellington
Group, dated January 5, 1982--and Memorandum of Agreement, submitted under the
same date--previously made a part of the record). The plan at that time was
for 70 units and it was now reduced to 64.
The Mayor asked to hear from those in opposition to the General Plan Amendment
proposed; there being no response, he closed the public hearing.
Councilman Bay asked to hear from a representative of the ASOA, if present;
Mr. Clifford Harper, 1975 Bayshore, was present and stated that relative to
the Memorandum of Agreement in the development, their organization had taken
no position with regard to it. They would prefer single-family homes but they
were not supporting or opposing the applicant.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECLARATION: On motion by Councilman
Roth, seconded by Councilman Bay, the City Council finds that this project
would have no significant individual or cumulative adverse environmental impact
due to the approval of this Negative Declaration since the Anaheim General Plan
designates the subject property for General Commercial Land Uses commensurate
with the proposal; that no sensitive environmental impacts are involved in the
proposal, and that the initial study submitted by the petitioner indicates no
significant individual or cumulative adverse environmental impacts, and is,
therefore, exempt from the requirement to prepare an EIR. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Roth offered Resolution No. 82R-47, approving General Plan Amendment
No. 171, Exhibit "A", as recommended by the City Planning Commission. Refer to
Resolution Book.

SPECIMEN TREE REMOVAL AND NEGATIVE DECLARATION: Application by Fred L. Stevens,
et al, to establish a 13-lot, RS-HS-22,000(SC) zoned subdivision and to remove
two specimen trees on property located on the north side of Martella Lane,
east of Martin Road, with a Code waiver of minimum lot area.
The Deputy City Clerk announced that the applicant, in his letter dated
January 14, 1981, requested that the public hearing be continued to
February 2, 1982, since his attorney would be out of town on January 26,
1982.
Mayor Seymour also reported that he received a telephone call from one of the
neighbors adjoining the proposed project, asking that the matter be continued
to February 2, 1982, to ensure that he might have proper representation of
that neighborhood at the meeting. He then asked if there was any member of
the public present today to hear the matter, and if so, did they have an
objection to the continuance.
From the audience, Patti Barksdale answered she had no objection to the
r~qu~ted c0ntinuanca.
MOTION: Councilman Seymour moved to continue the subject public hearing to
February 2, 1982, at 3:00 p.m. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Bay referred to a letter dated January 25,
1982, from Fulop & Hardee, attorneys in Newport Beach, specifically Page 6,
Item 5, disputing the fact that the Council had any jurisdiction to hear the
matter since it was set for a public hearing after 12:00 midnight, thus the
22-day appeal period had lapsed.
103
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 26~ 1982~ 1:30 P.M.
City Attorney William Hopkins stated that he did not agree with the opinion
expressed. With respect to the Tentative Tract, it was true that the 15-day
period had expired and the appeal period passed by the time the matter was set
for hearing. The technicality in that case, however, was that the Tentative
Tract would be subject to the Variance approval. Relative to the 22-day period
of appeal on the Variance, Counsel (Fulop & Hardee) was of the opinion that the
time expired at 12:01 a.m. on January 6, 1982, whereas his (Hopkins) interpretation
was that the Council meeting started on the 22nd day, the last day to appeal, and
the fact that the meeting continued past midnight did not invalidate that
appeal.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion of continuance. MOTION CARRIED.
123: AMENDMENT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENT - MOH-TAL~ INC.~ 715 SOUTH
WEBSTER STREET: City Manager Talley briefed the Council on memorandum dated
January 18, 1982, from the Executive Director of Community Development, Norman
Priest, recommending the subject Amendment to exempt any lender and any sub-
sequent buyers receiving title through the procedure of foreclosure from resale
controls, and that the Agreement be amended to include all of the Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporations'~requirements and, further, that an Agreement be
approved between Moh-Tal and the City to provide for the sale of those units
exempt from resale controls to low and moderate income persons (on file in
the City Clerk's office).
}~. Norman Priest, Executive Director of Community Development, and Lisa Stipkovich,
Housing Manager, then answered questions posed by the Council, at the conclusion
of which Councilwoman Kaywood stated she could not imagine that the subject
project would have been approved with a 144 percent density bonus knowing there
would be no control on 21 of the 30 units. It only gave high density to
Anaheim with no benefits to other than the first person, and that was not the
intent when they discussed affordable housing.
Councilman Bay stated he agreed with Councilwoman Kaywood's statements on what
they might not have done, but they were discussing something that was already
done with subsequent rulings that affected financing and the success of the
whole project, which were beyond their control. They were now into something,
whether or not intended, and the choices were nil. If the choice was to
bankrupt the builder and still not solve the problem versus a degree of solution
and not bankrupting the builder, he did not see that there was any choice to be
made.
Councilwoman Kaywood felt that they did not now have to be in that position and
she wanted everybody's eyes wide open on what was going to be happening downstream,
and when the next developer requested a density bonus, it should be well known
that it was nothing much more than a gimmick because it would be affordable only
one time.
104
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 26~ 1982, 1:30 P.M.
Pk. Priest stated that they would consider that in their analysis of future
similar developments.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated she was going to have to oppose the requested
Amendment on the basis of the entire philosophy of this situation.
MOTION: Councilman Roth moved to approve an Amendment to the Affordable
Housing Agreement between the City and Moh-Tal, Inc., and to exempt any
lender and any subsequent buyers receiving title through the procedure of
foreclosure from resale control; Agreement to be amended to include all
Federal Home Loan Mor%gage Corporation requirements and approving an Agreement
between Moh-Tal and the City to provide for the sale of those units exempt from
resale controls to low and moderate income persons, as recommended in memorandum
dated January 18, 1982, from the Executive Director of Community Development.
Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. Councilwoman Kaywood voted "no."
MOTION CARRIED.
107: HOUSING TASK FORCE - REQUEST FOR AN EVENING MEETING ON FEBRUARY 9, 1982:
Request from Sheri Pignone, Chairperson, Housing Task Force.Committee, for an
evening meeting on February 9, 1982, to submit their final report to the Council.
Councilman Overholt referred to the previous meeting on the proposed Home
Occupancy Inspection Program (see minutes October 27, 1981) and the meeting
prior to that (see minutes October 13, 1981) wherein possible conflict of
interest of three Council Members was discussed relative to a Home Occupancy
Inspection Ordinance. He wanted to know, with respect to further deliberations
of the Task Force, if it was appropriate that the same three Council Members
who considered the matter on October 27, 1981 (Council Members Kaywood, Bay and
Roth, Councilman Roth having drawn the lot to be able to participate according
to the FPPC ruling at that time), or if it were now a matter to be considered
by all five members.
City Attorney Hopkins stated since the Council was now being asked to consider
other issues not tied to any vote on an Ordinance of Inspection, the previous
drawing of lots was no longer relevant. If they again considered an Ordinance
and there were three Council Members who again felt they had a legal requirement
to abstain, they would then revert again to the FPPC ruling of having lots drawn
amongst the three abstaining in order to determine who could participate since
it was necessary to have three Council Members decide the matter. As of right
now, there was no Ordinance before the Council and thus, the previous ruling
did not apply.
Mayor Seymour did not agree with the City Attorney's opinion. It was his
understanding that a report was going to be submitted by the Task Force with
a majority opinion that the Council adopt an Occupancy Inspection Ordinance,
and perhaps a minority report stating something different. Understanding
that was going to happen, there was going to be a room full of people present
to hear the Council finally decide what to do based on the report. At that
time, he saw a tremendous potential conflict of interest which had been
previously addressed.
105
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 26~ 1982~ 1:30 P.M.
After further discussion and debate, the City Attorney recommended that the
matter be sent back to the FPPC for an opinion in writing.
Councilman Bay assumed that the request for the opinion would include the
possibility of a five-person Council having the power to kill any further
action, regardless of how it was recommended by the Task Force. His opinion
was that the matter should be handled by the same three Members (Kaywood,
Bay, Roth) so there would be no doubt or any suspicion of any conflict.
Councilman Bay then requested copies of the minutes of all the meetings of
the Housing Task Force be submitted to the Council as soon as possible.
Mayor Seymour stated he was going to abstain on setting the meeting until an
opinion was received; the City Attorney suggested that they continue the
matter until the FPPC opinion was received, which should be within the week.
MOTION: Councilman Bay moved to continue setting a meeting of the Housing Task
Force 'for one week. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. Council Members
Overholt, Roth and Seymour abstained. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Overholt asked that the abstentions reflect that they were made on
the potential conflict of interest and for no other reason.
105: APPOINTMENT TO THE GOLF COURSE ADVISORY COMMISSION: Appointing a member
to fill the vacancy on the Golf Course Advisory Commission left by Dan Wise--
continued from the meetings of December 22, 1981, and January 19, 1982 (see
minutes those dates).
The Deputy City Clerk announced that Mr. Tom Hoag was present and wished to
address the Council.
Mr. Tom Hoag, 817 West Sycamore, referred to his letter of December 21, 1981,
requesting that he be considered for appointment to the Golf Course Advisory
Commission. He had also been present when the matter was previously discussed.
He then gave his qualifications and background and in concluding, stated he
would like to be appointed to the Commission. He then clarified for Council-
man Roth that no one had tried to reach him to discuss the possibility of
his appointment.
biayor Seymour opened nominations for an appointment to the Golf Course Advisory
Commission.
Councilwoman Kaywood nominated Michael Jacobs; Councilman Roth nominated Tom
Hoag.
Councilman Bay moved that nominations be closed. Councilman Overholt seconded
the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
106
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 26, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Seymour then asked for a roll call vote on the two nominees in the order
in which they were nominated, the first, Michael Jacobs.
Councilwoman Kaywood referred to the letter dated January 22, 1982, submitted
by the Chairman of the Golf Course Advisory Commission, Bob Messe, stating
that two names were brought before the Commission and the unanimous decision
was that Michael Jacobs be considered.
Councilman Roth, speaking against, stated that he could support the Chairman
if he had done one thing, paid the courtesy and invited Mr. Hoag to present
his qualifications before the Commission. He was going to support Mr. Hoag.
Councilman Overholt stated he was going to oppose the first nominee for the
same reason. He did not know if Mr. Hoag was one of the two candidates, but,
in any case, Mr. Hoag should have been contacted. He would like to delay the
matter and have the Commission contact Mr. Hoag.
Mayor Seymour felt that the Council had trapped themselves in a system that
was not the best--that of asking an existing Commission appointed by the Council
to name successors, thereby abrogating their right as a Council to make appoint-
ments. He was opposed to the process created. He was supportive of Mr. Hoag's
candidacy because of his qualifications and that was the reason.
Councilman Bay moved to continue the subject appointment for one week and that
Mr. Jacobs be notified and asked to be present at the meeting.
Before action was taken, Councilman Roth asked that it be continued two weeks
for full Council action; Councilman Bay amended the motion to two weeks.
Councilman Overholt seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, the Mayor stated he would support the continuance but
asked that the Council, at that time, also be prepared to discuss a policy
relative to Commission appointments, one wherein the Council would maintain
its authority.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED.
RECLASSIFICATION NO. 61-62-64 - CANCELLATION OF DEED RESTRICTIONS: Request by
Gulab and Lajwanti ~Kanal, Kanals Gifts and Fashions, for removal of C-1 Deed
Restrictions imposed on property located at 625 South Harbor Boulevard,
Restriction No. 3 as amended and recorded at Orange County, in Book 6066, at
Page 419.
Councilman Roth moved to approve the subject request as recommended in memorandum
dated January 20, 1982, from the Assistant Planning Director for Zoning, Annika
Santalahti. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
107
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 26, 1982~ 1:30 P.M.
HEARING - M. S. AMUSEMENT CENTER - APPEAL OF DENIAL OF AN AMUSEMENT ARCADE
APPLICATION: To consider an appeal of the decision of the Planning Director
denying an Amusement Arcade Application for 30 machines to be located in the
M. S. Amusement Center, 2840-A East Lincoln Avenue.
Miss Santalahti clarified for Council Members Kaywood and Bay that an entirely
new business was being established and opposition from the neighborhood was
registered by 40 people, amounting to 75 percent of the residents and the tenants
in the area.
The Mayor asked if the applicant or applicant's agent was present.
Mr. Jayanti Solanki, applicant, explained that he owned a similar business in
Buena Park. The subject business was to be a joint venture between his wife
and himself and they would operate and run the business with either one of them
being physically present during operating hours. He voiced the opinion that this
should solve the juvenile problem, plus the fact that they had house rules which
would be posted and strictly adhered to, such as, No Loitering, No Food or
Drinks, No Smoking, etc. The business would be well-decorated and nicely lit
and they intended to control the sound level on the machines and would install
soundproofing if required. They were also going to issue a student membership
card showing the name of the student and the school so that they would know if
students were in the business during school hours. Relative to the 75 percent
opposition, he did not believe the people or community were aware of how they
were going to control their business. He was concerned with regard to the
neighborhood concerns. If the Council had any other recommendations or suggestions,
they would be happy to look into them.
The Mayor then asked to hear from those who wished to speak to the matter.
Carol Shows, resident.on Jeanine, stated she was one of the 75 percent who
voiced opposition. They lived directly behind the proposed business site,
just over the fence. Some of the reasons the homeowners did not want the
arcade were as follows: Inadequate parking facilities forcing use of the
adjacent vacant lot, creating excessive noise and dust; the alley between the
arcade and homes, currently used as a motorcycle dragstmip by the motorcycle
shop in the vicinity, would be turned into a motorcycle and car dragstrip,
also causin§ a rise in the noise level and a safety hazard for their children;
neighborhood crime and vandalism could possibly increase because money would
be needed to play the machina~ and their home~ would be the ideal target;
sale and consumption of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages would increase;
the 7-11 Market and the Liquor Store across the street both had video machines
on their premises and the liquor store had been cited for selling alcoholic
beverages to minors; backyards would become a dumping site; they would be
exposed to foul language by customers of the arcade as had been evidenced in
the vicinity of other arcades; since their homes backed up to the site, they
would not be able to enjoy their homes and backyards for fear of a number of the
foregoing concerns.
108
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 26~ 1982~ 1:30 P.M.
Betty Miller, 2857 Gerald Circle, stated she had previously called the hotline
with regard to the motorcycles. The empty lot abutted her fence. She already
experienced obscene remarks from youngsters when she was trying to enjoy her
backyard; otherwise, Mrs. Shows covered everything else she had to say.
Mr. Solanki then explained that the motorcycle shop was going to be moving, which
would take care of the noise and dust. As well, construction was going to take
place on the empty lot which would further eliminate the dust. The 7-11 market
did not have any video machines, but the liquor store did, and their alcohol sales
are controlled by the ABC.
Mayor Seymour stated that this was a case of a new operation with 30 machines
and a neighborhood that had expressed strong opposition. The Council had
gone on record that there were appropriate locations for the type of activity
proposed; however, this was an inappropriate location, in his opinion.
MOTION: Councilman Seymour moved to uphold the recommendation of the Planning
Director, denying the Amusement Arcade Application for 30 machines, to be
located in the M. S. Amusement Center and, further, that approval of the permit
would be contrary to the public interest, health, safety and general welfare of
the neighborhood. Councilman Bay seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

149/142: PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO. 4305 - NO PARKING AT 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 meetings of January 12,
1982, and January 19, 1982--see minutes those dates).
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to be heard.
Mr. Dennis Mills, 1252 North Brookhurst, stated that the residents had again
discussed the matter at great length and were present for the third time to
point out certain facts to convince the Council why the proposal should not be
passed as written. They were convinced that the Traffic Engineer made little
or no study as to how the proposal would affect traffic if passed in its present
form. They believed that traffic on Brookhurst would be more menacing than at
present, it would not be relieved, but it would be even more hazardous. He
then elaborated on the reasons why they felt as they did. He also reemphasized
that the speed factor was a real factor which caused the accidents experienced,
and that there was no law enforcement in the area relative to speed. As an
alternative, they would favor red curbing approximately 120 feet from each
intersection, or whatever the Traffic Engineer would suggest to relieve the
problem of left turns off of Brookhurst. They felt that the proposal was well-
written from La Palma to Crescent (on Brookhurst), but not for a residential
area such as theirs. They could give up some of their parking while at least
maintaining some guest parking. They were asking for help; they needed street
parking and wanted the Council to reconsider the matter.
113
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 26~ 1982~ 1:30 P.M.
Peggy Brown, 1236 North Brookhurst, first stated that they did not have many
accidents. They were in business and received a lot of company and there was
no place for guests to park except on the side streets and the neighbors complained.
On trash days, there was no parking at all from 12:00 noon to 4:00 p.m. so they
had to park in the alleys.
Mayor Seymour explained that he did walk the alleys since the last meeting and
having done so, he maintained if the City wanted to provide more latitude for
parking in the alleys, and although it would necessitate serpentining of
vehicles through those alleys, the opportunity was there.
Discussion then followed between the Council and staff revolving around creating
additional parking in the alleys, also considering the trash pickup problem which
was presently accomplished off the alleys.
Mr. Jerry Thomas, 1204 North Brookhurst, stated that the houses on both sides
of the street could put their trash out onto Brookhurst for pickup.
Further discussion and questioning of the Traffic Engineer followed wherein
Mr. Singer explained that designated parking spaces in the alleys would be
marked as such and also confirmed for Councilwoman Kaywood that even increasing
the amount of parking in the alleys, there would be two days during specified
times when they could not park there, Mondays and Wednesdays for trash pickup
and street cleaning.
ORDINANCE NO. 4305: Councilman Seymour offered Ordinance No. 4305 for first
reading; however, before it was final or before he would vote to approve it
for adoption, he directed staff to rework the parking in the alleys to provide
additional parking spaces.
ORDINANCE NO. 4305: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING TITLE 14,
CHAPTER 14.32, SECTION 14.32.190, SUBSECTION .410 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL
CODE RELATING TO PARKING.
The Mayor then confirmed for Mr. Mills that there would be No Parking on
Brookhurst Street although the Ordinance would not become final until it
was adopted. He asked that Mr. Mills get in touch with Mr. Singer so that
he (Mills) and anybody else who wished to have the opportunity to review
the revised parking plan before the Ordinance became final. He also stated
that they were going to get the police to increase patrol on Brookhurst Street
in their area.
149/142: ORDINANCE NO.-4306: Councilman Roth offered Ordinance No. 4306
for first reading, repealing Subsection 14.32.190.2010 relating to no
parking on Avenida de Santiago, both sides, from its westerly terminus to
Hidden Canyon Road.
ORDINANCE NO. 4306: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING TITLE 14,

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 26, 1982~ 1:30 P.M.
156: DETROIT TRIP - POSSIBILITY OF SUPER BOWL BEING PLAYED IN ANAHEIM: Both Mayor
Seymour and Councilman Overholt briefed the Council on their trip to Detroit/
Pontiac, Michigan, the site of the XVIth Super Bowl at the Silver Dome in Pontiac,
Sunday, January 24, 1982, the purpose of which was to investigate some of the
challenges Anaheim and surrounding Cities would have to meet in order to host
a Super Bowl. Unless there was some opposition to the idea, the Mayor stated
the next step would be to bring together a meeting of people who might be able
to offer some resolution to some of those challenges, as well as the City
Council, in order to pursue that possibility.
Councilwoman Kaywood felt they should outline the benefits that would accrue
not only to Anaheim, but also surrounding neighborhoods and Cities.
REQUEST PERMISSION TO LEAVE THE STATE - COUNCIL~LkN ROTH: On motion by Council-
woman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Overholt, Councilman Roth was granted
permission to leave the State for 30 days. MOTION CARRIED.
167: STATUS OF TRAFFIC SIGNAL - FALMOUTH ON BROOKHURST STREET: Councilman Bay
requested staff to provide a status report of the traffic signal to be installed
at Falmouth on Brookhurst Street.
120: HOTLINE COMPLAINT - RUBY KULAK: Mayor Seymour referred to a hotline complaint
received from Mr. Ruby Kulak on January 7, 1982, advising that the burglar alarm
in the house next door had been ringing for some time. The Mayor then gave
Mr. Kulak an opportunity to address the Council due to his (Kulak's) dissatisfaction
with the handling of the matter.
Mr. Ruby Kulak, 247 South Brentwood Place, thereupon enumerated upon the
events and the lapse of time in being able to speak to a Council Member which
culminated in his appearance before the Council today.
Mayor Seymour then read, for Mr. Kulak, report dated January 12, 1982, from the
Chief of Police, George Tielsch, which documented the response given to Mr. Kulak's
complaint, the same report he tried to read to Mr. Kulak over the telephone in
an attempt to inform him what had transpired as a result of his complaint.
REQUEST FOR CLOSED SESSION: The City Manager requested a Closed Session to
discuss Personnel matters with no action anticipated; the City Attorney requested
a Closed Session to discuss litigation and potential litigation with no action
anticipated.
Councilman Bay moved to recess into Closed Session. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded
the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (6:45 p.m.)
AFTER RECESS: The Mayor called the meeting to order, all Council Members being
present. (7:30 p.m.)
