office space at 1020 South Anaheim Boulevard, to house Summer Youth Employment
Program CETA staff, at $750 per month for the period of 3une 1, 1980 through
May 31,1981.
Councilman Roth questioned why the CETA Services Division could not be accommodated
in the new City Hall.
Human Resources Director, Garry McRae confirmed, as outlined in his report dated
April 23, 1980, that the majority of the CETA Services staff was going to be
moving into the new City Hall. The space currently being retained at 1020
North Anaheim Boulevard was to accommodate the youth programs which were not
planned for the new building and were being absorbed by the City temporarily
for the first year. He did not know if there was any space available in the
new City Hall.
City Manager William Talley suggested that the matter be continued one week
until staff was prepared to address the question.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, consideration
of the subject agreement was continued one week; staff to ascertain if the oper-
ation could be accommodated in the new City Hall. MOTION CARRIED.

viding the Agency with studies and information relating to possible conditions
of blight, as recommended in memorandum dated April 24, 1980, from the Executive
Director of Community Development. MOTION CARRIED.
150: RECREATION FEE SCHEDULE'ADJUSTMENT: Amending the fees and charges schedule
in the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department, Recreation Division
and authorizing the new fees to be effective with the beginning of the 1980
Summer Recreation Program.
Mayor Seymour stated he had no problem with the recommended increases as outlined
in the attachments to report dated April 24, 1980 from the Deputy City Manager,
other than to know how much was windfall.
Deputy City Manager James Ruth stated that there was no windfall. Looking at
the budget, the problems they had were relative to the differential between the
General Fund's support in the past which had not kept up with inflation. Many .
of their programs and classes had not been increased in years because they were
always General Fund supported. Part of the problem revolved around the fact that
80-565
City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 29, 1980, ~:30 P.M.
the school district partially funded a number of the programs which represented
almost one-third of the recreation program's support. That funding was lost
with Proposition 13 which represented a major loss, coupled with the increased
inflation factor. The only way to continue the current level of service was to
increase fees to compensate for the difference in General Fund support.
Mayor Seymour reiterated there was a windfall, although it might not be to the
Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department. For example, the change
relative to the Pearson Park Theatre showed a 59% increase and they all knew
that there had not been a 59% increase in the cost of operating that theatre
in one year. The Department was playing catch-up and getting their fees into
reasonable line in exchange for what was being used or rented from them.' Thus,
in comparison to charges a year ago, there was a windfall going somewhere in the
City budget.
Mr. Ruth explained the problem they had relative to their budget, as presented
to the City Manager through the budget hearings, that if unable to generate
the increased revenue, they were going to have to cut services. When talking
about windfall, there probably was an increase that was not anticipated last
year but if they did not get it this year, they would have to cut services.
Mr. Talley eXplained that the arbitrary but necessary way they scheduled the
recreation fund was to take the General Fund contribution and indicate to the
department that it was entitled to only a certain share and, therefore, if the
Recreation programs could not be accommodated with the contribution from the
General Fund, they would have to find additional revenue sources or reduce
programs. The major problem last year was that the Recreation function, though
they should raise approximately $65,000 from special services and fees, actually
ra±sed about $30,000. His view was that they had to either cut programs back
by $30,000, or if they wanted to maintain services, retain a better fee structure,
because the General Fund was not going to give any more. They were willing to
give the same contribution as last year plus the increment they raised this
year in addition, but that was all.
Mayor Seymour asked if the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department
was generating an additional $65,000 as indicated in the subject report, he
wanted to know how much of that additional, $65,000 could be legitimately laid
off to increases of inflation, etc. and/or new programs. If it all could not
be laid off in that fashion, it was going to be done somewhere else.
Mr. Talley agreed but he did not want them to think'there was a windfall Other
than in the recreation series of programs.
Additional discussion followed between Council and staff further clarifying
the windfall aspect as broached by the Mayor.
Councilman Overholt then noted under Facility Fees/Rentals, Glover Stadium (commer-
cial) that it stated under the proposed rate, $500 set-up minus $200 plus 15%.
Mr. Ruth confirmed that was an error and it should say--S500 set-up plus $200,
plus 15%.

175: EXPANDING LIMITS ON THE ENERGY COST BALANCING ACCOUNT AND DECREASING THE
NON-LIFELINE ECABF: Public Utilities General Manager Gordon Hoyt briefed the
Council on report dated April 20, 1980 from the Public Utilities Board, recom-
mending that the Council: (1) Expand the limits on the Energy Cost Balancing
Account from "between a positive $1,000,000 and a negative $250,000" to between
a positive $2,000,000 and a negative $250,000;" and (2) Decrease Anaheim's
electric rates by decreasing the non-lifeline ECABF by 1.021c/kwh from 2.506C/kwh
to 1.485c/kwh.
Mayor Seymour asked the average monthly electrical bill of the residential consumer
in Anaheim.
Mr. Hoyt answered that the average customer using 500 kilowatts per month was
currently paying $29.18. With the proposal, the bill would decrease by 7%
for a total of $27.13. Commercial users would see a decrease of approximately
11%; the larger commercials better than 16%. Industrial users would see a
decrease in the area of 16.5%. Rates for residential consumers were going
to be approximately 26 or 27% under Southern California Edison rates; commer-
cial consumers, 15 to 20% under, and industrlal's 20 to 21%, representing a
substantial savings.
Councilwoman Kaywood offered Resolution No. 80R-186 for adoption, as recommended
in memorandum dated April 22, 1980, from the Public Utilities Board. Refer to

108: AMUSEMENT DEVICES PERMIT: Application by John Paul Weeks, Pinball Madness,
530 South Knott Avenue.
The Deputy City Clerk explained that the subject permit was originally sched-
uled for today's meeting and the applicant received a postcard to that effect;
however, it was later removed from the agenda because of the Police Department's
recommendation for denial. Since then, another memorandum was received from
the Department indicating that since the property was over 600 feet awav from
the Orangeview Jr. High School, they now recommended approval. As well, staff was
requested to research two questions relative to zoning on subject property, pre-
viously posed by Councilman Bay.
Miss Annika Santalahti, Assistant Director for Zoning, stated that the establish-
ment was located on the northeast corner of Knott Street and Orange Avenue and
the current zoning was Commercial, Limited. Also, there were no massage parlors
or similar activities in the subject complex or the one across the street.
MOTION: Councilman Roth moved to approve the application for Amusement Devices
Permit submitted by John Paul Weeks for Pinball Madness at 530 South Knott Avenue.
Councilman Overholt seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood expressed concern over the prolif-
eration of such businesses and wanted to know if staff had any record of how many
pinball palaces or the like were already established in the City. She also
wanted to know if there was any way they could control the hours of Operation.
Miss Santalahti stated that they could investigate how many licenses were issued
for such operations. Relative to any regulations, theoretically there was no
limit on the number they might have in the City or no limits relative to hours
of operation. The only regulations were with regard to zoning which had to be
Commercial and the distance from schools.
Councilman Overholt recalled that the Council previously requested a brief report
regarding the City's policy in issuing permits for such amusement device centers
(see minutes February 19, 1980). Mr. Talley stated he would check with Police
Chief Tielsch and report to the Council on Thursday at the Executive Management
Seminar.
Councilwoman Kaywood also wanted to know if there was a way to find out if any
drug paraphernalia was going to be displayed or whether there was a possibility
of stipulating something in order to prevent the display of such material, since
those businesses were a hangout for youngsters, similar to record shops.
Mr. Weeks, the father of John Paul Weeks who was opening the business, stated
he was representing his son who was a minor. However, he had a partner who was
an attorney. Mr. Weeks then attested to his sons's character. The boy did not
80-568
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 29~ 1980~ 1:30 P'M'
believe in drinking, smoking or dancing and he had told the Chief of Police there
would be no drinking, smoking or eating in the pinball arcade. There would be no
drugs.
Councilman Overholt questioned the partner in the business; Mr. Weeks explained
that he had met him, he was an attorney in New York, and his name was Roman A.
Dimeo who would be one-half owner of the business.
City Attorney Hopkins explained for Councilman Overholt that the applicant in
this case was John Paul Weeks and that would be sufficient for the purpose of
the application. If it were desirable to put additional persons on the appli-
cation, it might be appropriate to ask the name of the person as a reference
showing that he had a financial interest.
Councilman Overholt asked Mr. Weeks if his son would object to having Mr. Dimeo's
name on the business application; Mr. Weeks answered, none whatsoever, and that
their checking account was in both their names.
Councilman Overholt stated his concern was that a partnership was running the
business and they were interested in knowing who the partners were.
City Attorney Hopkins stated they would be interested in anyone who had a part-
nership interest. There was nothing that precluded their granting the permit
to a minor, but it would be more desirable to have the other name on the appli-
cation as a partnership. The application could be amended and the Council could
add the name; however, he did not know at this time if the Chief would concur
with the recommendation.
Councilman Overholt reiterated he was concerned when a minor made an application
for a permit and license to operate an amusement establishment along with an
attorney living in New York. Whatever had to be done to get the attorney's
name on the application should be done otherwise he could not approve the
application and there was nothing personal against John Weeks, the applicant.
City Attorney Hopkins recommended that the matter be held one week and referred
back to the Chief of Police because they had no information about Mr. Dimeo
other than his name being mentioned today. The Chief should have an opportunity
to review his recommendation.
MOTION: Councilman Overholt thereupon moved to continue consideration of the
subject application for one week for the purpose of submitting a modified
application containing the name and address of his partner, Roman A. Dimeo;
application to be referred back to the Police Department for checking and
subsequently submitted to the Council on May 6, 1980. Councilwoman Kaywood
seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Before concluding, further discussion followed relative to the procedure that
the applicant should follow in carrying out the Council's directive.
103: "FAIR SHARE" OF PROPERTY TAX REVENUE: A proposed motion directing the
City Attorney to prepare an emergency ordinance declaring a moratorium on the
issuance of any building or grading permits or the approval of any plan, zoning
reclassif~cation or tentative tract map for any property annexed between January 2,
80-569
C%.ty Hall~ .Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 29, 1980~ 1:30 P.M.
1978 and July 24, 1979, pending a property tax exchange agreement with the County
(continued from the meeting of April 8, 1980 - see minutes that date was scheduled
for reconsideration.)
City Manager Talley reported that since the meeting of April 8, 1980, they met
with the Chairman of the County Negotiating Committee and he was attempting to
come up with a fair and equitable solution. He (Talley) felt that the County
staff was unrealistically trying to maintain a position that would allow them
to retain more funds than they deserved. It was also his impression, however,
that the majority of the Board of Supervisors were willing to deal equitably
with the cities. The Chairman of the City Task Force had been ill and missed
some of the meetings and thus there would be some delay.
Mr. Talley recommended that the matter be continued another three or four weeks
at which time he felt they could give a good progress report. The Planning
Department informed that they were not holding anything up that was in progress
at this time. He recommended that the Council allow them to continue with
the negotiations.
MOTION: Councilman Roth moved to continue consideration of the subject moratorium
for four weeks. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Bay again suggested as he did at the meeting
of April 8, 1980, that they proceed in preparing the ordinance now since the
actual execution of it would take a period of time. In that way, they would
have more bargaining clout with the County; Mayor Seymour did not agree that
an ordinance should be prepared since, in the opinion of the City Manager, it
was not going to be necessary.
Councilman Bay expressed his concern because, as indicated in the staff report
of April 25, 1980, grading had already started on two of the three projects
listed, and he feared the vested interests question would become a reality.
Mr. Talley concurred that this could become an issue and for that reason had
suggested in discussion the Council might want to establish some procedure.
However, as noted in the staff report of April 25, grading permits had been
issued prior to Council action in all but one instance and in that one, the
final grading permit was issued two days after Council action on April 10,
1980. Basically the intent of the staff recommendation was to serve notice
on the proposed developers and the County that the City was going to cease
that activity unless the County could come up with some negotiations. In effect,
they were creating value, the benefits of which were being reaped by the County
and they were unrealistically witholding the tax revenues from the cities. They
had now indicated a much more reasonable attitude and entered into the negoti-
ations with more alacrity. He felt the Committee was working toward an equit-
able solution as well as the majority of the Board.
Councilman Bay stated he did not want to thwart that negotiation, but at the
same time he did not wish to go so far down the road that they would be up
against vested rights and if not sold, end up with law suits. That was his
concern.
80-5 70
Cit~ Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 29~ 1980~ 1:30 P.M.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED.
166: REVIEW OF ORDINANCE NO. 4010 - POSTING OF PRICES AT SERVICE STATIONS: One
year review requested at the meeting of May 22, 1979 (see minutes that date).
MOTION: Councilman Seymour moved that the subject Ordinance remain in force
to be reviewed again in one year. Councilworman Kaywood seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Roth noted that the gas station at the
corner of Anaheim Boulevard and Broadway (Texaco) was posting their prices in
liters and he had received complaints. Although the Ordinance did not cover
whether or not the stations had to post in U.S. dollars, he felt they were
circumventing the ordinance.
Miss Santalahti explained that the State called out how prices were to be posted
indicating that a gas station shall post either by liter or gallon but station
would have to indicate whether it was by liter if that was what they were doing.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated she believed all Texaco Stations were not posting or by
liter, and further she wanted to see the enforcement continue relative to price
posting. The stations knew the law and some of them had been flaunting it for
a year.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED.
148: APPOINTMENT OF REPRESENTATIVES TO THE ORANGE COUNTY HEALTH PLANNING COUNCIL
ASSEMBLY OF DELEGATES: Councilwoman Kaywood nominated Mr. William Postma as the
delegate to the subject Council. She also noted that the Health Planning Council
had been very lax about letting the City's delegate or alternate know about meet-
ings that were being held. It was an important post and the Council made far-
reaching decisions such as whether or not to build or add to hospitals, etc.
and it was important that the City be represented on that Council.
On motion by Councilman Bay, seconded by Councilman Overholt, nominations for
appointment of a representative to the Orange County Health Planning Council
were closed. MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. William Postma was thereupon unanimously appointed to serve as the City's
delegate on that Council.
Before concluding, Councilwoman Kaywood noted that they also had to fill the
alternate position and she was concerned that the Council did not let them
know that the City had a vacancy. Something needed to be done in that respect.
Mayor Seymour suggested that a letter be drafted to be sent to the Orange County
Health Planning Council asking them to inform the City more,expeditiously in the
future of any vacancies.
108: REQUEST FOR MASSEUSE LICENSE - YURY FERKELMAN: Requesting an exemption
from requirements of the Code relating to a massage technician permit.
80-571
City Hall~ Anaheim, Califorqia - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 29, 1980~ 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Seymour stated as he understood, Mr. Ferkelman wanted to act as a masseur
at the Sports Gallery, 2560 East Katella Avenue, that he had a great deal of
education on being a masseur having been trained in a Russian medical school,
and that he also had a bachelor's degree or equivalent in electrical engineering.
He also presumed that Mr. Ferkelman was aware that the Chief of Police was rec-
ommending denial of his request until such time as he received, certification
from a recognized school.
Mr. Yury Ferkelman, 3955 Locust Avenue, Long Beach, first confirmed the Mayor's
understanding and also stated that at first he was told he would be given a
positive recommendation and then he found out it was negative. He had just
returned from a school in Fullerton where he was told there was nothing they
could teach him. However, if he had to, he would go through the 50 hours
necessary and spend $300 to receive a piece of paper, but it did not make any
sense.
Mayor Seymour asked the City Attorney if there would be any violation of the
Ordinance if they asked the recognized school or equivalent thereof for some
certification, and then let the Chief determine if this was equivalent.
City Attorney Hopkins stated that the matter had come up before (see report dated
April 22, 1980 from the Chief of Police) and they had a number of applicants from
Japan who had been trained in Japan. They did accept their credentials inJapanese
and then have the Japanese Consulate in Los Angeles certify them. In the case of
Mr. Ferkelman, they felt they could not make an exception because it would set
a precedent leading to other persons making a similar request and they had no
way of justifying the situation in this case. They were told a Soviet Consul
General in San Francisco would assist Mr. Ferkelman in getting his certificates
if he would contact them, and his office would be happy to supply him with the
phone number of the Visa and Consulate Office. The other alternative would be
for Mr. Ferkelman to attend a State licensed school, and there was one in Fullerton.
That would enable him to qualify in'order to give some sort of verification of his
training.
Mr. Ferkelman stated if he had to choose, he would go to school. As a refugee,
he could not take any documents out of Russia and to receive any documentation
from Russia was impossible.
After a brief discussion, Mayor Seymour stated they were certain Mr. Ferkelman
was probably qualified but on the other hand he was perhaps familiar with some
of the problems in the community relative to massage parlors. The Council would
like to find a way to help him out if they could and he were not deprived of all
his documentation. Since he could finish the required schooling in a manner of
four weeks, in the interest of maintaining a position the Council had adopted
with regard to massage parlors, they were going to have to deny the request.
MOTION: Councilman Seymour moved to deny Mr. Ferkelman's request for an exemp-
tion from the requirements of the AMC relating to a massage technician permit.
Councilman Overholt seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Mr. Ferkelman asked if it was possible for him to get
permission to be in work with the stipulation that he would be going to school.

Cit~ Hall,. Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 29~. 1980, 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Seymour stated that would be acceptable if they would not jeopardize the
ordinance in so doing. If so, he would have to say "no" to such a request.
City Attorney Hopkins stated they felt the time involved in schooling was not
great. They were told that the state required 100 hours of training which could
be reduced by 50% for Mr. Ferkelman because they would give him credit for his
past work experience. The City required a diploma or certificate of graduation.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion of denial. MOTION CARRIED.
RECESS: By general consent the Council recessed for 15 minutes. (2:55 P.M.)
AFTER RECESS: Mayor Seymour called the meeting to order, all Council Members
being present. (3:10 P.M.)
176: PUBLIC HEARING - ABANDONMENT NO. 78-27A: In accordance with application
filed by Classic Development Corporation, public hearing was held on proposed
abandonment of a portion of the "Old" Santa Ana Canyon Road, lying southerly of
the Santa Ana Canyon Road and west of the S.A.V.I. Canal, pursuant to Resolution
No. 80R-155, duly published in the Anaheim Bulletin and notices thereof posted
in accordance with law.
Report of the City Engineer dated March 24, 1980 and recommendations by the
Planning Commission were submitted recommending denial of said abandonment.
City Engineer William Devitt stated he believed the Council had received the
supplemental report dated April 21, 1980 wherein it indicated a hearing was set
for July 2, 1980 to determine if the subject parcel was an illegally created
parcel; the Mayor confirmed that they had received that report.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to address the Council.
Mr. Maury Nickle, Executive Vice President, Classic Development, Irvine, owners
of the property stated that he wrote a letter to the Council dated March 6, 1980
(on file in the City Clerk's office) and that the hearing was a result of that
letter. He explained that Classic had owned the subject property since approx-
imately 1973, and in 1977 it was leased to the then-existing nursery for a parking
lot. Upon the sale of that nursery to the present nursery owner, they had dis-
continued remitting the lease payments indicating that since the City had the
easement on the property he (Nickle) therefore did not have the right to lease
it to them. He tried to get clarification of the matter and asked for an aban-
donment of the street right of way through the City's Real Property section.
Me wanted to have the matter heard so as to resolve it.
Upon his arrival at the meeting today, he received a copy of the supplemental
finding dated April 21, 1980 from the Engineering Department which he was not
aware of before and also a copy of a notice of intention to record notice of
violation. Since this was the first information he had regarding that matter,
he was not prepared to debate that issue because he did not have an opportunity
to look into the facts. He reiterated, he acquired the property in 1973, he
did have it leased and was unable to lease it at this point or collect any rent
80-573
City Hall~ Aqaheim, Califorqia - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 29, 1.980, 1:30 P.M.
because of the feeling of the tenant that the City had the right to give them
the use of the property rather than any right he had. That was why he asked
for the abandonment. He was not prepared to debate the conditions in the latter
documents.
Mayor Seymour stated they should deal with the former, the request for an aban-
donment, and not the latter, that an illegal subdivision had been created.
Mr. Nickle then respectfully requested that the Council act on his request for
abandonment. It was first filed in March of 1979. In February 1980, he received
a letter from the Real Property Section indicating that they thought he should
discontinue any further action on the application. He believed that the street
right of way had been abandoned to the east but was not certain of the parcel
to the south. He was also not aware that the Planning Commission acted on the
matter.
The Mayor confirmed it was not done at a public hearing. He then asked Mr.
Nickle how he acquired the property in 1973.
Mr. Nickle explained that he purchased approximately 100 acres on the north
side of the "Old" Canyon Road and subdivided it into about 9 tracts; the Mayor
interjected and asked if, in that process, did he provide the City with an
easement across the property. Mr. Nickle answered, "no", an easement for road
purposes to the State was originally created in 1928. In approximately 1948,
the State took the easement on what was now the "old" canyon road and they
severed the property by an easement. At that time, a Mr. Young owned the
property. When he acquired approximately 10 acres of the property from Mr.
Young in 1973, the condition of the purchase was that he take all the property
and that was the only reason he had that small parcel.
The Mayor asked if he then built his housing subdivision and then began leasing
the piece of property in question to the nursery; Mr. Nickle answered that was
correct. He referred to the drawings submitted to the Council previously in
order to clarify his explanation. The parcel severed from the main portion
was created by two separate State right-of-way easements, the first, the old,
"old", canyon road and the second, the present right of way over the old canyon
road taken by the State and later granted to the County, later reverting to the
City.
The Mayor asked why he did not attempt to get the matter clarified at the time
he applied for the subdivision.
Mr. Nickle stated he believed that was possibly the fault of the situation at
present. By the action of the City Engineer in report dated April 21 and the
notice of violation, it was evidently their contention that the parcel was
illegally created. Although he could not really explain the matter totally,
he believed it was the contention that the subdivision map should have included
the old canyon road and the parcel across the way. The red line on the map
represented the portion presently paved and used for access and parking and
the yellow was that portion of their fee property used for parking by the present
nursery operator.
80-574
City. Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 29, 1980~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Roth stated it was his understanding when the Classic Homes were
developed, they were all on the north side of Santa Ana Canyon Road and thus he
wanted to know what parcel other than the subject he was claiming on the south
side of Santa Ana Canyon Road.
Mr. Nickle answered none, except the sliver of land under discussion, containing
approximately 4500 square feet total.
In concluding, Mr. Nickle stated he would have no objection to a continuance
because he wanted a clarification of the whole situation that would bring about
a final resolution.
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to speak.
Mr. Paul Sato, 5992 Ridgeway, Yorba Linda, stated that he was a landscape architect
and planner and a friend of the Kobayoshi's, Frank and Tom, who were both residents
of Anaheim and owners of Koby's Garden Center. Tom was present in the Council
Chamber. He then gave the background on how the Kobayoshis came to locate their
business and residence in Anaheim. He also explained that the existing land
use problem was not created by them or the nursery and it was not the fault of
anybody. He understood in reading through some of the correspondence that Cal-
trans created the small piece of property and that the size was approximately
3700 square feet including parcel A and B on the map. He wanted to know the
purpose of the triangular parcel of land which the staff report indicated was
a weed patch. The Kobys wanted to purchase the easement but a lette~ received.
by their attorneys indicated the owners did not want to sell. He questioned
what could be built on that parcel and if anything, would another driveway be
allowed onto Santa Ana Canyon Road.
In concluding, Mr. Sato stated he agreed with the staff report 100%'and hoped-
that the Council would act accordingly.
There being no futher persons who wished to speak, the Mayor closed the public
hearing.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION: On motion by Councilman
Roth, seconded by Councilman Overholt, 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 fila an EIR. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Roth thereupon offered a resolution denying Abandonment No. 78-27A.
Before any action was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood noted that since there was
a hearing set for July 22, 1980, she wanted to have the abandonment continued
until they knew of the legality of the parcel.
Mr. Malcolm Slaughter, Deputy City Attorney, explained the decision as to whether
the parcel was illegal or not was technically and legally a separate issue from
the problem of abandonment. The Council could, if they desired abandon the
street as requested. The hearing on the illegal parcel, assuming the owner
80-5 75
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 29~ 1980~ 1:30 P.M.
contested the hearing, should continue and the notice of intention to record
the violation had already been filed in the County Recorder's Office to give
notice to any potential buyers of the property from Classic of the problem
involved. He could envision a possibility where all of the parties involved
might wish to sit down and discuss all of their various interests and perhaps
arrive at a resolution that would be satisfactory to everybody. He suggested
that be done and it could possibly be done in the period of time before the
hearing on the illegal subdivision.
Mr. Nickle asked for an opportunity to rebut; the Mayor thereupon reopened the
public hearing.
Mr. Nickle stated his calculations revealed that the property consisted of 4500
square feet. The property had always been for lease and it was not for sale
mostly for tax purposes. The fact that it was available for lease was the
material point he wanted to bring out. Relative to a continuance, from talking
to the City Attorney, he presumed he would not have the right to lease the pro-
perty if the abandonment was not approved. If not approved, he wanted to know
if it was then the City's intent to lease it to Koby's Garden Center. He
believed that Mr. Kobayoshi or the nursery was using it for their business; it
was intended for that use by the previous owner and it was leased for that use.
It had been a fact that it was under lease or agreement for use before he was
involved in the property in 1973 and he leased it from that time until 1978.
He believed they were entitled to their use of the property as much as adjacent
properties in which easements were vacated. If one was abandoned, he did not
see why an adjacent one would not be abandoned. He emphasized the property
was for lease and not for sale. '
Mayor Seymour closed the public hearing.
Councilman Bay asked if they fenced the parcels A and B, would that cut off
access to the nursery.
Mr. Nickle answered that it would, however, he did not have the right to fence
off the City's easement. That was his inclination in the first place but he
was warned by his attorney that he could not block that easement.
Councilman Bay asked how he felt about negotiating with all three parties.
Mr. Nickle stated that he would be happy to do so but he did not want to sell
the property and that would be his opening position. He felt there were merits
to leasing as opposed to purchase. If they arrived at a fair value, they would
not have to pay the principle amount and the lease was based on approximately
1% per month of its value.
Mayor Seymour asked staff, without beginning to address the question of usability
of the parcel in question, was there property sufficiently available so that
Kobys could get access to Santa Ana Canyon Road.~
City Engineer William Devitt stated it was his understanding there would be
enough available for access; however, it would be restricted and would adversely
affect the access.
80-5 76
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 29~ 1980~ 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Seymour then wanted to know the intentions of the City.
Mr. Slaughter explained so long as the portion over parcel C on the map the
Council had, the remaining public right of way, remained as a public right of
way, the Kobys could get from their property to the public right of way and
out to Santa Ana Canyon Road but they would have to make some physical improve-
ments in order to do so.
The Mayor asked what the City's intention was relative to selling, leasing,
permitting the Koby's to park on the property, etc.
Mr. Slaughter responded that he did not know that the City was legally able to
lease, for private purposes, its public right of way, but it could clearly be used
for the public to have access to the abutting private property in this came owned
by the Kobys. Most public streets had public parking provided on them. He did
not think that the Kobys had a right to use a public right of way as a private
parking lot to the exclusion of the public. The City could clearly make the
public right of way available for public parking on that property. He did not
know whether Kobys were attempting to exercise exclusive position of thier pro-
perty to the exclusion of the public or not.
Mayor Seymour explained that as he viewed the matter, he saw a piece of property
owned by a Mr. Young and subsequently sold to Classic and in the deal, the small
piece of property was thrown in. In essence, Classic picked up where the pre-
vious owner left off in the continuation of the lease of 'the property to the
nursery owner. The owner then found that the City controlled the property and
stopped payment on the lease. The owner was not desirous of selling the property
and then the City stepped in which, in his opinion, was moving in an area of
dealing with private property rights that it should not be doing. He was,
therefore, going to vote against the action before the Council and suggest that
they grant the Kobayoshis access to Santa Ana Canyon Road. Mr. Nickle could
then keep his property and try to develop it. He was not going to meddle with
people's private property rights.
Mr. Slaughter agreed and stated the reason for the reinstitution of the illegal
parcel proceedings was so that the City may review and impose those conditions
on the small remaining parcel. It was the entire parcel underlying the entire
Santa Ana Canyon Road and not just the 4500 or 3700 square feet that they
could have imposed had the subdivision been properly done in the first place.
Mayor Seymour stated he knew for a fact that they knew as a City that the Kobys
had been using the property to privately park on and he did not have a thin§
ag&inmt the Kobys and they had a fine nursery. He did not want to get into a
fight between two property owners and they mhould find a way so-that Kobys
could get access to Santa Ana Canyon Road, and then Mr. Nickle would probably
be sitting there with a useless piece of property.
Councilman Roth asked the reasoning behind the Planning Commission's recommen-
dation for denial.
80-577
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 29~ 1980~ 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Slaughter explained that he was not at the hearing but his understanding
was that staff had been recommending denial despite any of the illegal parcel
considerations because of underlying public utility easements.
Mr. Devitt stated that staff indicated to the Planning Commission that if the
abandonment was affected, it would adversely affect the access to Kobys.
Mayor Seymour stated if there was excess property then it probably should be
abandoned.
After further discussion between the Mayor and Mr. Slaughter, Councilwoman
Kaywood moved to continue consideration of the subject abandonment to July 22,
1980. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. Councilman Roth voted "no".
MOTION CARRIED.

CITY PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS: The following actions taken by the City Planning
Commission at their meeting held April 7, 1980, pertaining to the following
applications, as listed on the Consent Calendar, were submitted for City Council
information.
1. RECLASSIFICATION NO. 79-80-31 AND VARIANCE NO. 3141: Submitted by Holly
Wade Davidson, for a change in zone from County of Orange A-1 to City of Anaheim
ML, to construct an industrial complex on 6.3 acres of property located on the
south side of Frontera Street and the east side of Glassell Street, with certain
Code waivers.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution Nos. PC80-60 and 61, granted
Reclassification No. 79-80-31 and Variance No. 3141, and granted a negative
declaration status.
Councilman Bay noted that at the General Plan Amendment hearing which included
the subject property, there was a stipulation made relative to first cleaning
out the dump site and recompacting the soil in that area but he could not find
that in the documentation.
Miss Santalahti stated she did not believe it was necessary to indicate that
because such action would be required under the Building Codes in any case
and it would be handled at the time building permits were pulled.
2. RECLASSIFICATION NO. 79-80-33: Submitted by General American Life Insurance
Company, for a change in zone from'RS-A-43,000 to ML, to construct an industrial

142/156: ORDINANCE NO. 4121: Councilman Bay offered Ordinance No. 4121 for
adoption. Refer to Ordinance Book.
ORDINANCE NO. 4121: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING CHAPTER 7.20
OF TITLE 7 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO GAMBLING.
Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood asked if the proposed ordinance
would apply to something where a door prize was being given.
City Attorney Hopkins explained if the door prize were within the definition
of a lottery, it 'could. Normally, if tickets were not sold in the form of a
lottery where there was a violation of the Penal Code, it should not be a
problem but it could be in certain cases.
Councilwoman Kaywood gave as an example a meeting where people paid a dollar for
chances, followed by a drawing.
City Attorney Hopkins noted that Councilwoman Kavwood mentioned the word, "pay".
That would be consideration, and if there was a prize, consideration, or chance,
that was the definition of a lottery and thus a State Penal Code violation whether
the City had an ordinance or not. If it was a donation with no buying or no
consideration, then it would not be a lottery.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing ordinance.

139: REQUEST FOR SUPPORT OF HR6466 FROM THE AUTOMOBILE CLUB: Councilman Roth
referred to letter dated April 25, 1980 from Mr. Edward G. Sullivan, District
Mianager of the Automobile Club of Southern California, requesting Council support
of HR6466 deleting the Federally-mandated requirement of yearly motor vehicle
inspections in California and leaving it to the states to implement such plans.
The mandate would have far-reaching effects on California's well-being (see
minutes February 12, 1980). He was urging Council support of Mr. Sullivan's
request and that Congressmen Dannemeyer and Satterfield also be advised of the
City's intentions.
Councilman Bay recounted that at the League of Cities meeting in San Francisco,
Anaheim made a special point of disagreeing with the Orange County League's
position on motor vehicle inspectionm called out by the State. He agreed with
Councilman Roth'm view that the State should decide the matter on its own,
leaving it up to the prom and cons within the State and not by a Federal mandate.
The heaviest argument againmt what he considered boondoggling inspectionm per-
formed in the State with more coming, was based on the fact that if the State
did not comply, it would be cut off from all kinds of Federal funds. He thum
supported Councilman Roth'm requemt.
80-582
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - A~ril 29~ 1980, 1:30 P.M.
MOTION: Councilman Roth moved to support HR6466 as requested by the Automobile
Club. Councilman Bay seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Roth stated that the Council was undoubtedly
aware that there was presently a great deal of oppomition to the bill. The ARB
was violently opposed am well as the majority of his colleagues on the South
Coamt Air Quality Management Board (SCAQMB), the League of Women Voters and
most ecology groupm. They felt that every motor vehicle in the state should
comply with federal mandate. The problem, however, lay in the fact that politi-
cians who mumt implement the legislation refused to do so because t~ey were getting
a negative reading from their constituents stating it was another intrusion into
their lives.
Councilwoman Kaywood wanted to review a copy of the bill before taking any
action. She also asked Councilman Roth if he was recommending the action with
the knowledge of the SCAQMB.
Councilman Roth stated he wam recommending the action as a member of the City
Council and the Board did not have any control over what he did.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked that the matter be continued one week.
By general consent, consideration of the subject request was continued one week.
169: FAIRMONT BOULEVARD - IMPROVEMENTS TO SHOULDER: Councilman Roth noted
that another accident occurred on Fairmont Boulevard. He suggested that some-
how or way there be some improvements made with respect to the shoulder of
