Variance No. 2001-04466, Resolution No. 2002R-86 (Approved by Council at the public

Mayor Daly moved, seconded by Council Member Feldhaus, to deny the request for rehearing
for Variance No. 2001-04466. Motion carried unanimously.
Council Member Feldhaus said he believed that it seemed to be a civil matter between the three
property owners and it needed to be worked out amongst them.
An unidentified gentleman stated that both the applicant and the opposition at the prior hearing
had withdrawn the accessory outdoor seating that had been added back in when the resolution
was voted on. He said he believed that Council should have reconsidered the matter.
City Attorney White stated that there had been two affidavits received in support of the request
for rehearing and Council examined them. He said it did not appear that there was any new
evidence that could not have been presented at the hearing with regard to the issue that was
just raised. He added that he believed that there was not a violation of any Federal or State law
by the grant of a land use entitlement and the property owners had private, civil remedies as
expressed by Council Member Feldhaus. If the approval somehow violated a civil remedy, it
could then be taken up as a civil matter and the Council's action relating to the zoning was final,
he explained.
5:00 P.M. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
000 A31. Public hearings on 2002/03 budget and budget appropriation limits (Items A - D) and

Mayor Daly opened the public hearing on the proposed budget.
Bud Schultz said he was past president and current treasurer of the Anaheim Hills Golf Club
and spoke about the fee increase in the proposed budget and the need for a new clubhouse.
He said he believed that revenues were lost due to poor and dilapidated conditions of the
clubhouse and the Chamber of Commerce had taken the annual fund raisers elsewhere. An
increase in maintenance fees had been caused by the clubhouse, he said, and competition from
new facilities and golf courses was very heavy in the area. He said that since the 1992/1993
budget, the golf courses had contributed over $18 million of revenue to the City. He informed
that the green fees were raised and the Council promised the City that the fees would be held
there for five years and it had not been five years yet. He said that the proposed increase was
between 10 to 13 percent while inflation was between 2 to 3 percent. There continued to be
increased competition from new golf courses that had better, more modern facilities, he said,
and the membership dropped 11 percent and the Club was struggling. The fees had been
reduced to encourage new membership into the club. He asked why the rounds had not
increased if the golf course was so much cheaper than the rest of the golf courses in the vicinity
and why were tournaments lost and he asked why the City did not invest more in an asset that
continued to generate profit for the City. The revenues from golf operations continued to rise
and there was $2.3 million this year and $2.6 million next year that would be contributed by the
golfers back to the City's general fund, he noted. Anaheim Hills Golf Club had substandard
facilities in the clubhouse and yet Council wanted to continue to increase the fees. He
explained that staff estimated a $115,000 increase in revenue from the fee increases proposed
and that they had taken into account the decrease in rounds due to people leaving or refusing to
pay the increase. The Anaheim Hills Golf Club conservatively contributed $300,000 per year to
the golf course, he informed, and that did not take into account any of the greens fees paid by
the members outside of club activities. He added that if the fees were raised, memberships
would be lost and the City had promised five-years without a green fee increase. He asked that
Council hold the green fees for five years.
Council Member Kring asked Mr. Schultz if the fees were kept the way they were, would he be
able to get members back into the organization. Mr. Schultz stated that there were no
guarantees and they were starting to come back. Council Member Kring agreed that the
clubhouse was a disgrace and she expressed her support of a new, modern clubhouse.
Council Member Tait said Mr. Schultz was in favor of the $6.7 million clubhouse and against the
fee increase. Mr. Schultz said that it was ill advised at this time to raise the fees and he said
when the fees were raised last time, it was to help pay for a new clubhouse and there was no
new clubhouse. He suggested raising rates when the clubhouse was done. Council Member
Tait asked Mr. Schultz if he would not be opposed to a fee increase once the clubhouse was
built and Mr. Schultz said that out of the $2.3 million contributed to the funds of the City, the
debt service would come out and $1.9 to $2 million would still be contributed to the City.
Mr. Klein said it was a bad time to increase the rates since the competition was tough and there
were almost 40 percent non-Anaheim players at both golf courses, but people were coming
back. Raising the rates and then tearing the golf course apart was not a good thing to do, he
said, and the City would not get people if the rates were raised.
Council Member Tait said it came down to policy issues where the golfers were to pay for the $7
million clubhouse or the taxpayers of the City. He said it should be paid for by those who use it
and he believed that the clubhouse did not come anywhere near paying for itself and he would
continue to vote against it.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 3790 AND NEGATIVE DECLARATION:
OWNER: Bobby Levell Gilbert Jr., 17300 17th Street, #J231
Tustin, CA 92680
LOCATION: 1514 West Broadwav. Property is approximately 1.1-acres located at the
southwest corner of Broadway and Adams Street (B and J's Tree Service).
Requests reinstatement of this permit by the modification or deletion of a condition of
approval pertaining to a time limitation (approved on April 17, 2001 to expire October 17,
2001) and to amend a condition of approval pertaining to the use of barbed wire on
perimeter fencing, which is visible to the public right-of-way or to residences to the west,
to retain a tree service contractor's storage yard with modular office building.
ACTION TAKEN BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION:
Denied reinstatement of Conditional Use Permit No. 3790 (PC2002-47) (6 yes votes,
Commissioner Vanderbilt absent).
Negative Declaration previously approved.
Informational item at the Council meeting of April 9,2002, Item B3. Planning
Commission's decision appealed by the Agent, Bobby Gilbert.
Zoning Division Manager, Greg Hastings, stated that the conditional use permit was originally
approved in 1995 to allow a contractor service yard with a modular office trailer. In April of
2001, due to ongoing and repeated Code violations and non-compliance with conditions, he
said, the Council modified the conditional use permit, including requiring the removal of razor
wire visible off-site, and placing a six-month expiration date on the conditional use permit. The
conditional use permit expired in October of last year and the applicant was requesting
reinstatement, he noted. The Planning Commission denied the reinstatement request on the
basis that the use was not being operated as originally approved and the use continued to
experience enforcement problems and consumed staff resources to repeatedly gain and
maintain compliance with conditions of approval, he said. Lack of cooperation by the business
owner had resulted in inconsistent compliance with the conditions, he explained, and the
Planning Commission indicated that continued operation of the conditional use permit, in the
manner that it was operated, would be detrimental to the peace, health, safety and general
welfare of the area. He said Code Enforcement had experienced continuous and repeated
problems pertaining to not maintaining the screening of the fence, odor from the decomposed
plant materials, auto parts being stored on top of containers and visible to the public,
unauthorized welding activities, problems with removal of refuse and waste and unauthorized,
heavy truck repair, inoperable vehicles and refusal to remove all unpermitted razor wire. He
noted that the violations were outlined on pages three and four of the Planning Commission
staff report. Since the original approval of the conditional use permit in 1995, several upgraded
activities had occurred near the property, he said, including the completion and the widening of
the 1-5 Freeway, expansion of the Betsy Ross school, construction of a modern, large industrial
complex to the north and acquisition of land for a park to the east along Broadway. He added
that a large residential neighborhood existed to the west beyond the railroad track. He asked
Council to note that Code only allowed reinstatement of the conditional use permit if it could be
shown that said permit was being exercised in conformance with all conditions and stipulations
originally approved and only if said permit was exercised in a manner not detrimental to the
particular area and surrounding land uses, nor the public peace, health, safety and general
welfare. He added that staff continued to recommend denial of reinstatement of the conditional
use permit for outdoor storage at the location.
Mayor Daly opened the public hearing.

Owner, Bobby Gilbert, Jr., stated that he had purchased the property in 1995 after a thorough
investigation with the City and the hiring of an attorney to obtain the conditional use permit. He
said he believed that he had complied with the City to the best of his ability and that some of the
violations were misunderstandings between himself and Code Enforcement. He said he
believed that the City Attorney had agreed that Mr. Gilbert was in compliance and Code
Enforcement insistent that he was not. The barbed wire and razor wire were
misunderstandings, he said, and Code Enforcement had told him last year that they were illegal
in the City. He was told to take the wire down and he told Code Enforcement that he could not
do that due to the fact that there was a railroad right behind the property and it would be an
invitation for vagrants to climb the fence and steal whatever he owned. He said that Code
Enforcement kept telling him that the fence was illegal and he could not have it and he had gone
to the City Attorney and asked if he could see the Code that said that. Back in November 1999,
the City had passed a resolution that said barbed wire and razor wire were not permitted where
visible from the public right of way, excluding alleys or non-industrial zoned properties. He said
if he had been told that in the beginning, he would have complied and he was told that he had to
remove it completely. He had complied with that Code and had taken the razor wire and barbed
wire and tucked it inside his screening so it was not visible to the public right of way. He said he
had taken pictures of 30 different properties where razor wire and barbed wire were visible and
he had tried to comply with the City in taking his down. He said he had been in business for
four years when someone let him know that the razor wire and barbed wire were illegal. He
said he had done all he could do under the circumstances and he had tried to work with the City
and done numerous jobs for the City. He was doing a service for the City, he said, and was
beautifying the City the best he could. The property was not an eyesore and if one did not know
where it was, they would not find it, he noted. It was beautifully landscaped in the front and
screened from public view and anything done on the property was done way in the back. Under
the original conditional use permit, he said he was allowed to do vehicle repairs, not major
repairs, and he did not have anyone capable of rebuilding engines on the property. He said that
the situation would place his family in financial hardship and the events of September had
dropped his business to one-third of the normal volume and his business was suffering. He did
not have the financial resources to move the business. He stated that the Parks Department
had acquired the Home Oil property, which was two properties over from his property, and he
said he believed that the agenda was for the City to acquire his property; not by asking him to
sell it to them and move him some place but to run him out of the City. If that was the case, he
said that the next two pieces of property would be taken by eminent domain and he felt it was
not fair to take his property to build a park on. He informed the Council that he was an amputee
and because of his age and disability, would not have the financial resources if he were to be
forced out of the City and he would not be able to go work for someone. He asked Council to
reevaluate the previous decision based on the evidence received and offered to show pictures
of his property, which he said was in compliance, and the 30 different photographs of other
properties throughout the City that had razor wire and barbed wire. He said he went to every
one of his neighbors and asked them if they had a problem with him and he said that they did
not have a problem with him. The City said that there was a problem with odor, he said, and
there had never been an odor outside of the smell of eucalyptus in his yard. He said that the
chips from tree service were stored there for a very short period of time and there was a very
small pile and less than one-week's worth of work on the ground and it was rotated regularly
and shipped out. He asked that he be allowed to do business with the City and work to find a
resolution. He noted that Code Enforcement had mentioned that there were auto parts on top of
containers and an awning that no longer existed and he could find no Code Enforcement
violations other than the razor wire and barbed wire which had since been tucked inside. The
American Disabilities Act said he had a right to do business, he noted, and being disabled, he

could not just quit and live on social security or work for anyone else. He asked Council to
consider his item and he expressed his willingness to work with the City.
Don Rohr stated that he and his family had a business to the right of the property in question
and had been operating it since 1965. He said that the property used to be Harmony Park
Ballroom; turned into Peppertree Fair which went out of business and the building was
demolished. The property sat as a vacant lot for many years until Bobby Gilbert purchased the
property and he said he believed that Mr. Gilbert brought a lot to the community with his tree
trimming services. He noted that Mr. Gilbert employed approximately 20 to 25 people at a time,
paid City taxes, purchased goods and services here in the City and did $45,000 to $50,000 per
year of business with Mr. Rohr. Mr. Rohr was aware of the Code Enforcement problem that Mr.
Gilbert had and said that Code Enforcement had come through his yard also. He said he
believed that Mr. Gilbert had made a conscious effort in the last year to get things up to speed.
The chip pile had been better than in the past years and it was kept much better under control,
he said, and the yard was screened and picked up. If Council denied him renewal of the
conditional use permit, he asked what would go back in on that property and if it would be a
vacant lot and if the surrounding businesses would receive and benefit from it. He noted that
new industrial buildings that were located to the northwest were not occupied and at least with
Mr. Gilbert, there was someone located on the property that paid taxes and employed people.
He said he hoped that Council would extend the conditional use permit for some period of time
to see if he did perform to the satisfaction of the Planning Department and Code Enforcement.
Mayor Daly closed the public hearing.
Council Member Kring noted that there seemed to be some confusion since Mr. Gilbert had
stated that when he talked to the City Attorney's Office he was told that he was in compliance
and when he talked to Code Enforcement, they had said he was not in compliance.
Executive Director of Planning and Community Development, Joel Fick, said he believed that
the last time a hearing was held on the item, because of compliance or non-compliance issues,
the permit was granted for a six-month period. Condition NO.4 of the last Council approval said
very clearly that all existing barbed and razor wire visible to the public right-of-way, which was
Broadway, or to the residentially zoned properties to the west, shall be removed from the
perimeter fencing and that no barbed or razor wire shall be permitted, he added. He said that
the testimony that Council had was part of the public record of the Planning Commission
minutes, described the Planning Commission's on-site visits and the visibility that they entered
into the record and discussed with the applicant at the Planning Commission meeting and aside
from the razor wire issue, there were the odors that were discussed and had been identified by
the Planning Commission and the general condition of the property related concerns.
City Attorney, Jack White, stated that he concurred with Mr. Fick's comments. He said he did
not believe that it was an issue of barbed or razor wire being prohibited under statute, it was a
question that it was prohibited as a condition by the Council over one-year ago. Since that
condition was added, he said, the condition was quite clear that there should be no barbed wire
or razor wire and any existing barbed or razor wire in public view should be removed. City
Attorney White stated that there was no compliance up until at least December 2001, according
to the staff report. He said he did not believe that there was inconsistent advice given by the
two departments involved.
Council Member Kring noted that razor wire was all right as long as it was not visible and she
noted that after looking at thirty pictures presented by the applicant, the barbed wire and razor

wire was visible in all of the pictures. She said that there had not been anyone that had come to
the hearing to oppose the project and it seemed that everything was coming from the City and
Code Enforcement and Code Enforcement had been out every month and found Code
violations. There was a neighbor that did not have a problem with the business and no one in
the community did and she said if Council decided to reinstate the conditional use permit, there
would need to be very strict conditions placed upon it. It seemed that there was no one in
opposition to the conditional use permit, she added.
Council Member McCracken said she thought that according to the conditional use permit
granted one-year ago, the exact same issues were clear. She said that the wire was a condition
of the use permit and was not a condition of City ordinance and it also said no major engine,
truck repair or overhaul only the changing of oil or tune-ups. There needed to be no composting
of the plant debris and it had to be removed in a timely fashion and he agreed to pay for the cost
of monthly Code Enforcement. She said she could see why Code Enforcement was looking at
the conditional use permit and going through the conditions because that was what they were
sent to do every month.
Director Fick said that Council Member McCracken was accurate and the reason for the
conditions imposed was because of the condition of the property from Broadway and the
unsightly nature that existed when the hearings were held.
Mayor Daly said he shared Council Member McCracken's concern that when the permit was
approved in early 2001, it was for a six-month period and the conditions were not adhered to
even closely and when the permit expired, conditions that were agreed to in the original permit
remained, even many months after the permit expired. He reviewed what the original condition
had said which was that no barbed or razor wire shall be permitted and until December 21 ,
2001, even after the permit had expired, there was still barbed and razor wire as well as a series
of other Code violations. He said if the City did not enforce its own Codes then there would be a
City that would start to deteriorate and if it were one or two items, he would be understanding,
but in this case, it had been a long series of violations and the track record did not give him
much confidence. The permit expired in October and there seemed to be a denial of recognition
that there needed to be a new permit or a renewal of the old permit. He stated that he would
oppose the item. He noted that the Planning Commission had unanimously denied the permit.
He added that there were other of locations in the City and lots of industrial zones, far more than
most cities, and there were plenty of locations that would accommodate this type of business.
There had been other tree services in Anaheim and they had been able to find locations and
comply with the City's Codes and he said he believed that it was not unreasonable for the City
to ask any business to comply with reasonable standards of operation. Regardless of where the
other locations were, the operator would still need to comply with the City's Codes and
standards.
Council Member Kring asked if there was a possibility of helping the business find a different
location since it did not seem to be a fit. Director Fick responded that staff would be willing to
do that provided that the applicant was interested and willing.
Council Member Tait asked what the property was zoned and Director Fick stated it was ML,
light industrial. Council Member Tait asked if the use fit the zoning and Director Fick said he
believed that for uses like this, there were conditional use permits to determine whether a
particular use and how it would be operated was compatible with the surroundings and that was
why the item was up for a conditional use permit. Council Member Tait asked if the concern of
the City was the barbed wire on Broadway and if it was objectionable and Director Fick said

when the item was originally established, the barbed wire, as the applicant had indicated, would
have been established legally because there was no ordinance. He said it was an issue and
initiative that had come out of the community planning program and it probably was around the
1999 time frame where there was an ordinance change and because of concerns of the
residents, it was very unsightly. He said he was not speaking about the property, and in
general, the City prohibited barbed wire and razor wire that were visible from the public right of
way. He said he believed that was why, when the item came back up before, it probably was
closer to the ordinance and it wasn't just a condition of the permit but brought the item into
compliance with the City's requirements. Not just related to the property, but barbed wire and
razor wire visible from public right of ways, in general, were prohibited from installation, he
added.
Council Member Tait asked if the applicant would be required, according to the Code
Enforcement Officer, to move the barbed wire not just along Broadway but also along the
railroad tracks. Director Fick stated that the specific condition required that all barbed and
razor wire visible to the public right of way or to the residentially zoned properties to the west
must be removed from the perimeter fencing. Anything on the interior that was visible was
prohibited, he added and the business could have the wire on the interior as long as it was not
visible. Council Member Tait noted that it was not just along the residential area or a public right
of way, it was anywhere visible from a residential area or public right of way. Director Fick said
that was what the condition stated.
Council Member McCracken said that Mr. Gilbert had submitted photos of all kinds of properties
that had barbed wire and she asked if there was a possibility that Mr. Gilbert had been
grandfathered in and they had not come up for a renewal on the conditional use permit.
Director Fick said it was very likely that any existing, non-conforming industrial would have had
something like that unless they had come in for some other type of permit or expansion or
something like that.
Council Member Tait said that the item was zoned industrial and not commercial or residential
and Mr. Gilbert had been in business and employed 25 people and even though he had not
complied with every condition, it seemed that it was in compliance now. He said he would move
for a three-year approval of the conditional use permit.
Council Member McCracken said she was not comfortable giving three years to a business that
was out of conformity.
Council Member Feldhaus said he would support an 18-month time limit so that the City could
work with Mr. Gilbert and relocate him to another property.
Council Member Tait amended the time limit to 18-months.
City Attorney, Jack White, said to be consistent with the October 17, 2001 original approval
date, Council could consider approving the permit for two-years, retroactive to the date it
expired, and it would be approximately one and one-half years and expire October 17, 2003.
Council Member McCracken said that Mr. Gilbert needed to understand what the conditions
were and rather than him thinking it was harassment by Code Enforcement, he needed to
understand that Code Enforcement was going down the list of items that had been agreed to at
the Council meeting.

Council Member Kring said she would support a year and one-half and the City needed to work
with the owner and owner with the City to find a better location that may even be larger for the
business and even after the events of September 11th, the economy was coming back and
people needed to have the trees trimmed and there may be something that would be more
fitting for his type of business.
Mayor Daly asked if the conditions on the conditional use permit would be the same as the
conditions in the March 25, 2002 Planning Commission staff report.
Council Member Tait said that they were the same as the previous conditions except for the
time limitation.
City Attorney White said that to the extent there was a difference in the conditions that were on
the prior permit as opposed to the staff recommended conditions.
Director Fick asked for clarification of Council's intent since some of the prior conditions prohibit
some of the existing wire on the property. By imposition of the same conditions that were
imposed before, he said, it required the applicant, working with staff, to remove them to be
compliant with the condition.
Council Member Kring said she was concerned about the barbed wire that Mr. Gilbert
mentioned on the railroad because of the problems with vagrants and if the razor wire was not
there, people could come over the fence and do damage to the property. She said she believed
it would be fitting to have it in that place to protect him.
Council Member Tait said Mr. Gilbert had screened the barbed wire to comply with the
condition.
Mayor Daly spoke about the 22 conditions listed in the staff report and asked if the previous
conditions would continue and that the applicant/business owner pay for the Code Enforcement
and Director Fick responded that it would.
City Attorney White said that one of the changes between the lists of conditions was a
clarification of the condition relating to the barbed wire and stated that specifically, the existing
barbed and razor wire must be relocated to the interior of the property and would not be visible
to the public right of way which would clarify the misunderstanding that the applicant said that
he had with regard to his obligation in the past. There were some clarifications, even though
they may not actually be changes in the requirement, he stated.
Council Member Tait said, in looking at the pictures submitted, the applicant had screened the
barbed wire and he said that it would comply with the condition.
City Attorney White said as long as it was not visible from the public right of way or residentially
zoned property to the west, it would comply with the language of the condition as contained in
the staff report. He suggested the use of the language of the amended and restated conditions
on page 7 of the Planning Commission staff report should the Council approve the extension of
the permit.
Council Member Kring asked if the permit was granted for 18-months, would the City want him
to pay for the costs for 18-months or maybe he should be granted a 6-month trial to see how
well he did. She asked how much the cost was for a Code Enforcement Officer to go out to the
-

property and Director Fick responded that it was $62. Council Member Kring said she would
leave it up to Code Enforcement staff as to whether or not the applicant was doing a good job
and if he was, at that point, maybe the process could be ended. Director Fick stated that if the
property was in compliance, there would not be a need for Code Enforcement to go out there.
Mayor Daly said it was his understanding that the permit would expire in October 2003 and the
conditions would be the conditions of the most recent staff report. He said he hoped that the
business owner would succeed and that there was a history of Code violations and the
unanimous vote of the Planning Commission to deny the application made him conclude that
this was not a permit that should be renewed.
Council Member Tait moved, seconded by Council Member Kring, to approve the CEQA Finding
of Negative Declaration. Motion carried. Mayor Daly voted no.
