Councilman Bay that the correct amount was $536,774.50 and not $554,774.50, as
indicated on Page 1 of the memorandum.
Councilman Roth was interested in knowing some of the larger accounts involved
in the 5,614 accounts assigned to an outside collection agency; Mr. Ed Alario
stated they could provide that information to the Council.
Councilwoman Kaywood left the Council Chambers. (2:28 P.M.)
Councilman Overholt wanted to know whether the collection agency process was
working and whether the agent or agents were doing the job; Mr. Alario
explained that they would be coming back to the Council within 30 days rela-
tive to a recommendation with regard to collection agencies.
MOTION: Councilman Roth moved to continue consideration of the 1980-81

(PUB)--subject: Recommendation for Revision of Water Rates and Fees, which
also included a listing of the documents attached to the report.
81-1142
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 18, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Seymour stated that in reviewing what took place at the PUB wherein the
majority of the Board said "no," he questioned why the recommendation for an
increase was before them; Public Utilities General Manager Gordon Hoyt then
explained what had taken place at the preceeding PUB meetings and public
hearings relative to the revision of water rates and fees where in the final
analysis, the Board moved to approve the rate increase and recommended it to
the Council on a three to two vote (see minutes of PUB meeting of August 6,
1951).
Councilman Bay stated his problem with the result of that was in talking to
the Board Members at this time that if there had been a full Board now and a
vote was taken, the vote would be four to three against the rate increases.
Mr. Hoyt suggested that they might refer the matter back to the Board. His
main concern was to make recommendations that would keep the Water Utility in
a healthy financial situation.
Councilwoman Kaywood entered the Council Chambers. (2:35 P.M.)
Councilman Roth stated he would feel more comfortable if the PUB took another
look at the situation.
MOTION: Councilman Seymour moved that the matter be referred back to the
Public Utilities Board with the specific instruction that they take a hard
look, rather than raising rates, to try to find some way to offset or elimin-
ate expenditures. Councilman Bay seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
119: WORLD RECORD OF CONTINUOUS BATON TWIRLING: The City Clerk announced
that Mrs. Karen Reger, Director of the Southern California Sun Drum and Baton
Corps and Color Guard, wished to apprise the Council of their attempt to break
the Guiness World Record for continuous baton twirling to take place Tuesday,
August 18, 1981, starting at 3:30 p.m. through Thursday, August 20, 1981 at
the Orangeview Junior High School Gym; the City Council acknowledged and
officially recognized the acitivity.
148: ALTERNATE - ORANGE COUNTY HEALTH PLANNING COUNCIL: (Continued from the
meetings of June 23, July 7, July 21 and August 4, 1981). The City Clerk
announced that the delegate, Mr. Postma, called today but had no recommenda-
tion for an alternate. He advised that the situation up to this time had
worked well without an alternate.
MOTION: On motion by Councilman Roth, seconded by Councilman Bay, the subject
item was removed from the agenda. MOTION CARRIED.

CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2198 (READVERTISED):
Application by Beth Adams Ltd., et al, requesting deletion of Condition Nos. 2
and 5 of Planning Commission Resolution No. PC81-83 pertaining to street light
installation and traffic signal assessment fee in connection with Conditional
Use Permit No. 2198, for proposed CR zoned property located at 131 West
Katella Avenue.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC81-83 of April 21,
1981 declared that the subject project be exempt from the requirement to pre-
pare 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 and
further granted Conditional Use Permit No. 2198 at that time subject to
81-1144
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 18, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
certain conditions. In their Resolution No. PC81-138 of June 15, 1981, the
Planning Commission denied the subject request for the deletion of Condition
Nos. 2 and 5 of Conditional Use Permit No. 2198. The decision of the Planning
Commission was appealed by David Traub, Agent for the applicant, and public
hearing scheduled August 4, 1981 (see minutes that date) and continued to this
date.
City Attorney William Hopkins briefed the Council on his report dated
August 7, 1981. If the Council were to remove the conditions as requested,
nobody would be obligated to pay the street light facilities or traffic signal
assessment fees.
Mr. David Traub, 131 West Katella Avenue, agent for the applicant confirmed
that he understood the City Attorney's report and opinion. He emphasized that
the fees would still be his responsibility since the owner transferred that
responsibility to him. He also felt it was unjust for him to have to accept
the responsibility for street lighting and traffic signalization five years
later as was now being requested.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to speak either in favor or in opposition;
there being no response, he closed the public hearing.
Councilman Seymour offered Resolution No. 81R-381 for adoption, denying the
request of the petitioner relative to the deletion of Condition Nos. 2 and 5,
with the fees to be paid in 60 days. Refer to Resolution Book.
RESOLUTION NO. 81R-381: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2230 AND NEGATIVE DECLARATION:
Application by Earl L. Singleton and James Clayton Peacock, to permit a con-
venience market with gasoline sales on CL zoned property located at 301 South
Euclid Street, was submitted.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC81-157, declared
that the subject project be exempt from the requirement to prepare an environ-
mental impact report pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmen-
tal Quality Act since there would be no significant individual or cumulative
advers~ environmental impact due to this project and further, denied Condi-
tional Use Permit No. 2230.
81-1145
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 18, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
The decision of the Planning Commission was appealed by Atlantic Richfield
Company (Arco) and public hearing scheduled this date.
Mr. Thomas Goodman, Attorney representing the Atlantic Richfield Company,
stated this was the last of three applications for conversion to mini-markets.
The applicant and Arco had accepted all of the conditions suggested by the
staff with one exception, "that the existing northerly driveway on Euclid
Avenue and the easterly driveway on Broadway shall be removed and replaced
with a standard curb, gutter and sidewalk." Working from the posted site
plan, he explained the present traffic circulation in and out of the property
and the internal traffic problem that would occur should those two driveways
be closed. The condition was unreasonable.
Mr. Dean Sherer, Associate Planner, clarified for the Council the Planning
Commission's reasons for denial, the main reason being the traffic problem.
They wanted to alleviate what might be a traffic ~probiem in the future by
assuring that certain driveways were closed.
There being no further persons who wished to speak, the Mayor closed the
public hearing.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECLARATION: On motion by Councilman
Roth, seconded by Councilman Overholt, the City Council finds that subject
project will have no significant individual or cumulative adverse environmen-
tal impact 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; 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.
Councilwoman Kaywood offered a resolution to deny the request upholding the
findings of the City Planning Commission.
Councilmen Roth and Bay spoke against the proposed resolution; Councilman
Overholt spoke in support of it.
Mayor Seymour wanted to know on what staff was basing their traffic concerns
and asked that the Traffic Engineer speak to the issue.
Later in the meeting, Traffic Engineer Paul Singer explained that the subject
intersection was heavily traveled by both vehicles and pedestrians. They had
been recommending to the Planning Commission that anytime a change of use took
place at any intersection, that the driveway closest to the intersection be
closed. In connection with the subject property, they had no data on which to
base an objection to the use as either contributing more or less traffic than
before but would be able to do so after gaining experience with the type of
use proposed.
81-1146
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 18, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
MOTION: Councilman Seymour moved that consideration of Conditional Use Permit
No. 2230 be continued three weeks, to September 29, 1981, at 3:00 p.m., to
give the applicant an opportunity to present data relative to redesign on site
to improve the safety conditions at the subject intersection. Councilman
Overholt seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

woman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Bay, the City Council ratified the
determination of the Planning Director that the proposed activity falls within

155: REVISION TO EXHIBIT NO. 7 OF THE SANTA ANA CANYON ROAD ACCESS POINTS
STUDY AND NEGATIVE DECLARATION: The City Planning Commission, to consider a
revision to Exhibit No. 7 of the Santa Ana Canyon Road Access Points Study in
order to provide access from Santa Ana Canyon Road to a 6.6-acre commercial
site located at the southwest corner of Santa Ana Canyon Road and Fairmont
Boulevard.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC81-127, declared
that the subject project be exempt from the requirement to prepare an environ-
mental impact report pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmen- .
tal Quality Act since there would be no significant individual or cumulative
adverse environmental impact due to this project and ~urther approved access
point designated as 9B as shown on Exhibit A with the closure of the existing
median and relocation of the bike lane and further subject to participation by
the developer in the cost of signalization at Fairmont Boulevard and Santa Ana
Canyon Road in the amount of $25,000.
Mr. Jay Tashiro, Associate Planner, described the location and surrounding
land uses. He also outlined the findings given in the staff report of
June 15, 1981 which was submitted to and considered by the City Planning
Commission. ~
The Mayor asked to hear from the applicant or applicant's agent.
81-1155
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 18, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Norman Rassmussen, representative of C. Robert Langslet & Son, Inc., 296
Redondo Avenue, Long Beach, owner and developer of the property, introduced a
narrated slide presentation explaining in detail the design criteria of the
Langslet Commercial Development at the corner of Fairmont Boulevard and Santa
Ana Canyon Road. He urged support and confirmation of the Planning
Commission's action of June 15, 1981 and as elaborated upon in letter dated
August 14, 1981 from Michael R. Engle, Vice President of Langslet, attached to
which was a rendering of the development and a schematic of the site (made a
part of the record). The letter also referred to the concern of the property
owner to the northwest of the development, Mr. Kobyashi (Koby's Garden
Nursery) relative to the recommendation by the Commission to eliminate the
left-turn lane in front of that business. While such a closure would not
affect the Langslet Development, they were in support of Mr. Kobyashi's posi-
tion and urged that they not close that left-turn lane off of Santa Ana Canyon
Road.
A representative of the firm of Weston Pringle, Traffic Consultant for the
developer, working from the site plan, discussed the proposed design for
continuation of the bike path and pedestrian walks to provide a safe means for
crossing the ingress and egress point (right-turn in and right-turn out only)
on Santa Ana Canyon Road.
The Mayor opened the public hearing and the following people spoke in opposi-
tion to certain aspects of the development: Floyd Pickrell, 157 South Donna
Court; Robert Fiorentino, 162 South Canyon Woods Road; Sally Bergmoser, 5432
Willowick; Henry Rivera, 6283 East Rio Grande; Joe Daly, resident of the
Peppertree subdivision.
Chief concerns expressed were: Safety of children in the area; environmental
compatibility with the existing residences; the ingress and egress point on
Rio Grande from the shopping center unanimously revoked by the homeowners in
the subdivisions; incremental traffic added to the location (Santa Ana Canyon
Road and Fairmont Boulevard) would be a danger to all of the residents in
Anaheim Hills; the development was overbuilt for the size of the property;
concern that the use of the property as depicted by the developer was shown on
a lateral plane instead of sloping downwards; visual impact of the development
on the views from homes on South Canyon Woods and Donna Court; need for
traffic signalization at Santa Ana Canyon Road and Fairmont Boulevard; shield-
lng of roof-mounted equipment; need of sound attenuation; routing of commer-
cial vehicles servicing the center upon exiting.
Mr. Floyd Farano, attorney, 2255 East Chapman, Fullerton, representing Koby's
Garden Nursery, explained that his client's property was indirectly affected
by the subject proposal since the Planning Commission adopted Condition No. 3
in Resolution No. PC81-127--"that the existing opening in the landscape median
on Santa Ana Canyon Road providing access to business property located immedi-
ately to the west shall be closed." He then explained the detrimental affect
such a condition would impose oh his client's business. He felt the decision
to clo~e the median break at this time was premature until such time as it was
determined that the existence of the median break would or would not cause a
81~1156
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 18, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
problem. The median should be left open until after the development was com-
pleted and the situation studied. He noted that Mr. Rassmussen indicated
there was no objection from Langslet relative to retention of the median break
into the Kobyashi's property.
The Mayor then gave the applicant an opportunity to make his s,~mmation and to
answer the concerns raised by the opponents.
Mr. Rassmussen responded that they supported Mr. Farano's position that the
median break in front of the Kobyashi business remain until such time as it
might turn out to be a traffic hazard. They supported deletion of Condition
No. 3. They also noted the comments of the opponents and hoped to address
them as the project developed. The hearing was for the approval of the "foot-
print" for access to Santa Ana Canyon Road and the left-turn median break on
Fairmont Boulevard. Other matters were irrelevant because they would be
coming to the Council with their specific plan development. He urged approval
of the Planning Commission's action with the foregoing exception; however,
they were willing to make whatever commitments that made sense and were feas-
ible to develop.
Mayor Seymour closed the public hearing.
Mr. John Baker, architect, McLellan, Cruz and Gaylord, explained the reason
why they designed the center architecturally as they did, the main reason
being trying to keep the integrity of the historic Peralta Adobe within the
complex.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECLARATION: On motion by Councilman
Seymour, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the City Council finds that subject
project will have no significant individual or cumulative adverse environmen-
tal impact; that no sensitive environmental impacts are involved in the pro-
posal; that the Initial Study submitted by the petitioner indicates no signi-
ficant individual or cumulative adverse environmental impacts; and is, there-
fore, exempt from the requirement to prepare an EIR. MOTION CARRIED.
After lengthy dialogue between the Council, developer and staff, Councilman
Seymour offered Resolution No. 81R-390 for adoption, amending Resolution No.
66R-27, as recommended by the Planning Commission in Resolution No. PC81-127,
but deleting Condition No. 3; waiving Council Policy No. 201 to provide access
from Santa Ana Canyon Road with the following additional conditions:
1. That the developer pay for the installation of full traffic signalization
at the intersection of Fairmont Boulevard and Santa Aha Canyon Road.
5. That the proposed vehicular ingress and egress on Rio Grande Drive from
the center be eliminated.
3. That the circulation plan relative to pedestrian, bikeway and vehicular
traffic be reviewed by staff as shown on the schematic submitted by the
developer with the understanding that the circulation plan include maintenance
of the' median opening for a period of two years at which time it will be
reviewed by the Council.
81-1157
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 18, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
4. That the specific plans for treatment of roof-mounted equipment as far as
visual and sound attenuation be approved by the Planning staff and also sound
attenuation plans for the truck loading area on the west side of the market.
5. That there be a lease stipulation with the tenants to insure that commer-
cial vehicles would exit on to Santa Ana Canyon Road.
Refer to Resolution Book.
RESOLUTION NO. 81R-390: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM AMENDING RESOLUTION No. 66R-27, APPROVING A REVISION TO EXHIBIT NO. 7
OF THE SANTA ANA CANYON ROAD ACCESS POINTS STUDY TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO A
CERTAIN SITE LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF SANTA ANA CANYON ROAD AND
FAIRMONT BOULEVARD AND WAIVING CITY COUNCIL POLICY NO. 201.
Before a vote was taken, the Traffic Engineer noted that Condition No. 1 of
the Planning Commission resolution indicated an access point on Fairmont
Boulevard ten feet wide. He asked that the ten-foot designation be removed
because he did not believe a truck could travel in a ten-foot lane; the Mayor
stated that would be handled as part of the circulation plan.
Mr. Rassmussen confirmed for the Mayor that they understood the resolution
offered and the conditions both in the Planning Commission resolution and the
ones added by the Mayor. They were in agreement with those conditions and
were willing to live with them.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing resolution.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1419: Application by City of Anaheim, to consider
revocation of Conditional Use Permit No. 1419, which permits the establishment
of a preschool and Christian Day School facility for a maximum of 50 pupils on
RM-1200 zoned property located at 305-325 East Broadway, under authority of
Code Section 18.03.091, for failure to comply with the conditions of approval,
was submitted.
81-1158
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 18, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC81-144, reported
that the Planning Director had determined that the proposed activity falls
within the definition of Section 3.01 Class 8, of the City of Anaheim guide-
lines to the requirements for an environmental impact report and is therefore
categorically exempt from the requirement to file an EIR and further revoked
Conditional Use Permit No. 1419 for failure to comply with conditions of
approval. The action of the Planning Commission was appealed by Dan Davidson,
Pastor of Anaheim Baptist Church, and public hearing scheduled this date.
Pastor Dan Davidson, Anaheim Baptist Church, 305 East Broadway, emphasized
that their church school was a part of their ministry and they wanted to main-
tain it as such. It could not be separated from the church for the purposes
of definition. The highlight of their ministry was the church/school and
major and mandated responsibility. That was the reason that brought them to a
problem under a conditional use permit. (Also see letters sent to the City by
Pastor Davidson or the church attorneys dated October 29, 1980, March 18,
1981, July 6, 1981, appeal letter July 20, 1981, as well as extensive testi-
mony given at the June 29, 1981 meeting of the Planning Commission and peti-
tion containing 87 signatures submitted August 18, 1981 of residents in the
immediate vicinity of the school imploring the Council to take no action which
would threaten the operation of the church or its ministries--all made a part
of the record). Regarding the former Conditional Use Permit No. 1419 (August
30, 1973), they never regarded it as being valid since 30 days after the per-
mit was issued, it was administratively dead because the conditions of that
permit were never fulfilled. They were clearly not above the law but their
attitude toward the law was one of resisting what would be licensure.
Pastor Davidson concluded their two-fold request to the Council was (1) that
they adopt the suggested amendment to the Code as submitted by the City
Attorney in his report of August 11, 1981 which would satisfy the legal situa-
tion, and (2) that the Council recognize and accept their plans to satisfy the
neighbors, their plan being--to pave a portion of the property, sod the play-
ground, install a dust/noise barrier on approval by the proper authorities
consisting of either a block wall, a hedge, or trees that could be placed on
the east side of the property, short of creating a blind spot on the corner
(Olive and Broadway).
Mr. David Shaefer, attorney, Shaefer and Gerenelli, 414 North Placentia
Avenue, Placentia, elaborated upon som~ of the testimony given by Pastor
Davidson and spoke to the legal aspects of the issue. He concluded since the
prior CUP was never affected by putting it into operation, that it died admin-
istratively and, in fact, the church/school was still, and should be recog-
nized, as a church not needing and not desiring to look for a CUP because the
church/school was an accessory use. The proposed amendment by the City
Attorney did not address those organizations outside of the immediate factual
situation that they had before them. He felt it was an excellent alternative
to the situation they found themselves in.
The M~yor opened the public hearing.
81-1159
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 18, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
The following people spoke in favor of the Council taking no action which
would threaten the operation of Anaheim Baptist Church or its ministries and
elaborated upon the positive affects the school had on their children or other
family members: Celia Solis, 719 South Olive Street; Phillip Aguilar, 317
East Broadway.
The following people spoke in opposition, urging the revocation of CUP 1419,
their major concerns being the noise generated from the property, the dust,
operation from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and the lack of a regular sprinkling
system: Emil Blankmeyer, 403 East Broadway; Dorothy Harmon, 407 East
Broadway; Elsa Martinez, 210 South Olive; Minnie Ingram, 411 East Broadway.
There being no further persons who wished to speak, the Mayor gave Pastor
Davidson an opportunity to speak to the concerns raised by the opposition,
which he did, in fact, respond to.
Mayor Seymour closed the public hearing.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION: On motion by Councilman
Seymour, seconded by Councilman Roth, the City Council ratified the determina-
tion of the Planning Director that the proposed activity falls within the
definition of Section 3.01, Class 8, of the City of Anaheim guidelines to the
requirements for an Environmental Impact Report and is, therefore, categori-
cally exempt from the requirement to file an EIR. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Seymour offered Resolution No. 81R-391 for adoption, revoking
Conditional Use Permit No. 1419 as recommended by the City Attorney. Refer to

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 18, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
Before action was taken on either the resolution or motion, Councilman
Overholt, stated he was not going to support the motion because if it passed,
they would be rendering themselves powerless to protect the neighborhood. It
was an issue that had to be determined by the courts.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated there was no way she could support changing the
laws to apply to one person.
Mayor Seymour asked for clarification by the City Attorney that if the motion
carried, that no laws would have been violated; City Attorney William Hopkins
answered this would be a motion to adopt the proposed amendment to the
ordinance and in that case it would be in compliance with the law.
Councilman Seymour then asked first for a roll call vote on the foregoing
motion.
