RESOLUTION NO. 75R-251 - ESTABLISHING A NEW JOB CLASSIFICATION - ASSISTANT
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR: Mr. Garry McRae reported on the recommended
reorganization of the Development Services Department to eliminate the one
presently vacant position of Assistant Development Services Director and
to establish two Assistant Development Services Directors, rather than
Zoning and Planning Supervisors as currently constituted. This would
amount to an overall reduction from four management positions to three
for that Department. It is further recommended that the job classifica-
tion be assigned to salary schedule X1238 (#1,766.27-$2,145.87), which
reflects a 5% reduction from the previously established position, and a
10% increase from the present Zoning and Planning Supervisor salaries.

ORDINANCE NO. 3428 - AMENDMENT TO P.E.R.S. CONTRACT: Mr. Garry McRae reported
that on April 22, 1975, when the City Council adopted Resolution No. 75R-197,
a Resolution of Intent to modify the retirement system contract, he was under
the impression that this proposed amendment to the contract was, in
fact, the legislation requested by Mr. A1 Kohler. However, as it turns out,
Mr. Kohler was requesting that the contract pursuant to legislation which is
not at this time recommended because of serious language defects, which could
be interpreted as a cost of living adjustment anywhere from 2% to 30%. This
is presently in the process of correction. Therefore, Mr. McRae wished to
make Council aware that the ordinance presented for first reading this date
would amend the P.E.R.S.Contract to provide for a 5% cost-of-living adjustment
in retirement benefits to those individuals retired or deceased on or after
January 1, 1971, but prior to July 1, 1971. There is a on~-time cost to the
City of $15,356.00.
Councilman Thom offered Ordinance No. 3428 for first reading.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AUTHORIZING AN AMEND-
MENT TO THE CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE BOARD OF ADMINISTRATION
OF THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM.
RESOLUTION NO. 75R-252 - EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO NEGOTIATE AGREEMENT - MULTIMODAL
GROUP INC: Mr. Alan Watts presented an agreement negotiated with the Multimodal
Group Inc, providing said organization an exclusive right to negotiate regarding
the possible installation of a train stop, or stops, in the vicinity of Anaheim
Stadium. Said agreement was prepared pursuant to Council direction given at the
meeting of April 1, 1975. The agreement recognizes the responsibilities of each
of the parties to carry out portions of the study and grants exclusive rights
to negotiate agreement to Multimodal Group Inc.
In connection with this document, Mr. Watts recommended that paragraph "f"
be eliminated since it imposes an obligation on the City to conduct a public
hearing prior to actually entering the agreement which would, in turn, require
publication of the agreement and attendant advertising costs. He advised that
this clause was inadvertently included in the agreement and since it is not
legally necessary, he would recommend its deletion.
Mr. Don McDaniel reported, in reply to b{ayor Thom, that synchronization
between this activity and the study being conducted by the Orange County
Transit District appears to be very good.
Mr. Watts advised, in connection with the State property in the vicinity
of the Stadium, that at the very least, the City would have the first right of
refusal to acquire that property.
RESOLUTION NO. 75R-252: Councilman Thom offered Resolution No. 75R-252 for

RESOLUTION NO. 75R-253 - AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT WITH LORD ELECTRIC: The City
Attorney advised that Lord Electric, the contractor responsible for installa-
tion of electrical equipment at the Lewis 220 KV Electrical Substation, which
job is 95% complete, indicates the contract term has extended for a longer
period than originally anticipated generally due to delays in delivery of
equipment to the site. As is the City's normal practice, 10% of the construc-
tion price is being withheld. Because of cash flow difficulties, Lord Electric
has proposed an amendment to their contract to reduce the withholding portion
to 5%.

ANAHEIM INTERMODE SYSTEM CO.XqMITTEE - MINUTE EXCERPT APRIL 2, 1975: Mr. Don
McDaniel transmitted to the Council a minute excerpt from the mooting of the
Anaheim Intermode System Committee held April 2, 1975, recognizing the need t~
further investigate the Intermodal Transportation System to integrate the
regionally related systems with Anaheim's unique commercial-recreational
industrial activities and establish a program in pursuit of system planning
and implementation.
Mr. McDaniel briefed the Council re~arding the ~ctivities of this
Committee to date; i.e.. that they hax~e held nine meetings and have con-
cluded the first increment of the task, which was basically to familiarize
the Committee Members with the ground transportation situation and complete
the inventory of modes available in Anaheim. The second increment of the
task will begin at the ne~t m~t~n~ and durin~ this portion, it is the intent
of the Committee to identifv various transportation needs in Anaheim and
discuss these with representatives of the Visitor and Convention Bureau,
industrial sector, Disnevlsnd representatives, etc.
No action was taken by the City Council.
REQUEST TO ADDRESS THE COI7NCIL - MRS. DORIS WINCKLER - BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE
PEOPLE'S CENTER: Mrs. Winckler ad~ised that she ~'ss retained b~z t~e People's
Center, which was tben called the Business O£cupat~onal Development and
Research Center, one yoar ag~ to do public re]ations work. She stated that
she has requested this ~ime, not only as a friend to Mr. Ks~an, but as a
Member of the Board of Directors of the People's Center, to address the City
Council and attempt to straighten out some of tho accusations and scandal
which have accrued to Mr. Kyman as a result of the action taken by the City
Council to terminate the contract with the Poople'g Center.
Mrs. Winckler briefed the Ccuncil on Mr. Kyman's history o£ emplo3~nt
with the California Department of Corrections which he left because of his
discouragement over the limited effectiveness of that system to successfully
rehabilitate the inmates. He decided to attempt independently to counsel and
find jobs for these ind2viduals. She described the beginnings of the Business
Occupational Development and Research Center, Mr. K3~an's association with
Mr. Markowski and Mr. Scott Walters and eventually Mr. Vind. She advised that
there were jealousies and friction among some of the people workin~ for this
organization, but that those were aired, and it was finally agreed that there
was nothing more than a misunderstanding.
Regarding the contracts which were dra~ between the City of Anaheim and
the County of Orange, and between the Ci~, cf Anaheim and~.h~ .... People's C~nter
Mrs. Winckler contended that there was a sum of $16,000 which was to help
them, paid by the C~unty t~ th~, :City ~ ini~-{at~ the program and this
money never came to the P~ople's Center. Further, she stated that when Mr.
William Hepburn, the City's Manpower Coordinator, mresented this program to
Mr. Kyman, he indicated it ~o be a pilot pro,ram, subject ~.~ (~nstant
that Mr. Kyman saw the ~ ...... ~..,.~,a~t tbe day before it was to be ~resented to the
Anaheim City Council and at tha~ time no porfcrm.~anc~ c:]~,.:vc~ ,~as ~nc].uded. ~r.
Kyman questioned this and was told Ly Mr. Hepburn that the g.qrf~rmance criteria
and funding provisions could be incorporated before the contract was presente4
to the City Council ~,~n Mr Ks~an came to the Council o+
~ · - · me~.~ing and disccx~er~d
what the contract perfo~ance clause called for, he was stunned at what he
being asked to do. She voiced the opinion, that the placement of 50 sociails'
disadvantaged people intc fully unsubsidized, non-government aligned positiens,
in a period of six weeks, is ob,ziously impossible. She advised that both Mr.
Walters and Mr. Kyman won~ to the }{anpowor ~ff5. ce man,z timos to try to have
the contract amended, b~t sbo maintained that the,~ receivod no input or ~uppmrt
from tba~ office.

_City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 20~ 1975, 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Thom interjected that the City Council approved the contract with
the People's Canter on staff recommendation, and the investigation of the
program was authorized at the request of one Council Member. Subsequent to
that, having received the results of the audit dated April 25, 1975, the City
Council again acted upon the recommendation of staff, and based on the audit,
terminated the program. He advised Mrs. Winckler that the personalities and
the frictions on the periphery of this situation are immaterial to the
Council, but that they would be happy to hear any new factual evidence she
might care to present.
Mrs. Winckler submitted to Council Members, and read~ a statement from
Tracy and McLucas, Certified Public Accountants, 1605 North Spurgeon Street,
Santa Ana 92701, which indicated that Mr. Wally Kyman and Mr. Scott Walters
contributed capital in the amount of $3,130.00 to the People's Center during
the months of January, February and March, 1975, and that full accounting for
these amounts has not been made for expenditures and the remainder is carried
on the balance sheet as petty cash. She read this in response to the allega-
tion of malfeasance in connection with the non-accountability for $925.11.
She indicated she could see no reason why Mr. Kyman and Mr. Walters should
have to account for their own money.
Mayor Thom reminded Mrs. Winckler that the Council acted to terminate the
contract based on the audit indicating that the People's Center had failed to
meet contract performance standards.
Mrs. Winckler reiterated that the contract terms were impossible to meet.
She related that at the time stories and allegations about the People's Center
were circulating, she called the newspapers, namely the Anaheim Bulletin and
the Register, and invited them to investigate the operation. This offer was
declined, except for the Register reporter. Mrs. Winckler maintained that the
stories which were published were spurious and that in the interest of decency
and fairnes~ these areas of dispute should be investigated and reported
factually.
Mayor Thom pointed out that the audit report, aside from its critical
aspect, was very complimentary of the staff at the People's Center.
Mrs. Winckler advised that as far as the audit was concerned, she did
not mean to imply that this was intended to harm Mr. Kyman or his reputation..
She agreed that it was objectively performed, however, she felt it contained
some mistakes. As far as the report on the effectiveness of the People's
Center in job placement, pursuant to the contract terms, she compared their
placement record of 20 people with a grand expenditure of $18,000 as opposed
to the City Manpower Office having placed 44 people with the backing of the
Manpower Commission which has more than $1,000,000 in Federal funds. She
further contended that if the People's Center had received support from the
City, it would have had a better chance for success.
Councilman Sneegas wished to clarify that the statement presented by
Mrs. Winckler from Tracy and McLucas, indicates, despite the origin of the
money, that there is, in fact, $3,130.00, in addition to the $925.11, which
has not been accounted for.
Councilwoman Kaywood commented that the report received on the People's
Center indicated, after several placements and much counseling, that they
expected a rate of success with these ex-offenders of only 80%, which in her
opinion, is a high rate of success.
Councilman Sneegas concurred that if this is a viable progra~ he would
not wish to see it cancelled and suggested that perhaps the Grand Jury should
be requested to look into the matter and either clear or condemn the operation.
Councilman Sneegas indicated that although he feared the ramifications which
might come from a Grand Jury investigation for some individuals, he would, ·
nevertheless, move that the City Council request that the Grand Jury look into
the operation and administration of t he People's Center.
Said motion died for lack of a second.
75-464
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 20, 1975, 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Thom advised that any citizen or Council Member can take the results
of this audit to the Grand Jury and, upon reviewing same, they either will or
will not investigate the matter. He urged Councilman Sneegas to apprise the
remainder of the Council of any information which he may have on this matter.
Mr. Murdoch indicated that he wished to respond to certain derogatory
statements made by Mrs. Winckler regarding members of the City staff. He
pointed out, in particular, that Mrs. Winckler alleged several times that the Man-
power Office and Mr. William Hepburn did not provide support or cooperation to
the People's Center and he maintained that this is not factual. He advised
that the People's Center proposal .which the City's Manpower Commissioner,
Gerald Vind, had requested the City to sponsor, when initially proposed,
contained several serious deficiencies and for this reason,there were ob-
jections to it from the City staff. It contained no definitive proposal and
was a very poorly presented situation.
Mr. Murdoch advised that the City staff did, in fact, work very diligently
to put the contract into a workable form, and this responsibility was primarily
Mr. Hepburn's. Without this preparation, the contract would never have received
the approval of the City Council. He felt it should be clear that Mr. Hepburn
had helped with the project,and it is unfair to state that he did not.
The Mayor agreed that the work performed to put the contract into form
which could be approved by the COuncil does indicate a level of support.
Mrs. Winckler thanked the Council for the opportunity to make her
presentation.
No action was taken by the City Council.
PUBLIC HEARING - POSSIBLE AMENDMENT TO TITLE 18 (ZONING CODE) RELATING TO FLAGS,
BANNERS AND DIRECTIONAL SIGNS USED IN CONNECTION WITH SALE OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS:
To consider possible amendments to Chapter 18.05 (outdoor advertising) relating
specifically to flags and banners and certain types of directional signs used
in connection with the sale of residential units.
Public hearing was requested by the City Council following discussion of
request for limited additional usage of flags, banners and directional signs
presented by the Anaheim Advancement Council and representative of the Building
Industry Association at the Council Meeting held April 29, 1975, and said
hearing was scheduled this date.
Report from the Director of Development Services was submitted describing
findings to the permitted use of directional signs and flags and banners in the
cities of Placentia and Irvine, which was prepared following meetings with
representatives of the industry.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to address the Council regarding the
consideration of the use of flags, banners and/or directional signs in con-
nection with the sale of residential units.
Mr. Manuel Perez, Director of Governmental Affairs, Building Industry
Association, thanked members of the Council who participated in the meetings
conducted prior to this public hearing. He noted that although the industry
would like to have carte blanche in this matter, they are willing to compromise
and are desirous that these sales tools be permitted as quickly as possible.
Mrs. Mary Dinndorf, President of the Santa Ana Canyon Improvement Associa-
tion, Inc., 131 La Paz Street, Anaheim, questioned the validity of the developer's
claim that they have lost 50% of their sales due to the new sign ordinance; she
contended that model homes are clearly marked and set aside by special fencing
in each development. Mrs. Dinndorf advised that since enactment of the new
sign ordinance, out of 24 illegal signs, only 9 have been removed and voiced the
opinion that this mandates refusal of any special consideration. She also
stated that "bootleg" directional signs have proliferated and have caused ~n
unsightly problem on weekends. She concluded that she has worked for the new
sign ordinance since October of 1974 and is still waiting to see it completely
enforced.
75-465
City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 20, 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
Mrs. Jean Morris, 400 Torrey Pines Circle, Anaheim, representing the
Westridge Homeowner's Association, stated that this Association will strive
to maintain, foster and defend the preservation of natural beauty in the
Canyon. They are growing impatient with the lack of enforcement of the new
sign ordinance and lack of sensitivity for the homeowners in the area dis-
played by the developers. She stated they feel the sign ordinance should be
enforced as it is now written, and to permit additional flags, banners or
signs would only destroy the intent of the new ordinance which took so many
months of effort to fi~alize.
Mr. Bill Ehrle, Chairman of the Coalition of Anaheim Leaders, which is
composed of 14 homeowner groups, remarked that there is no question that this
organization supported 2 or 3 of the Council Members in the last election and
hoped to continue to support them when in agreement. ~!~ noted that the existing
ordinance was created through the diligent work of City personnel, developers,
and citizens and, in his opinion, this five months of effort should not be
undone in one afternoon.
Mrs. Frances Neville, 843 South State College Boulevard, Anaheim, Realtor,
advised that her business depends on signs to a large degree and cautioned
against setting down regulations with which the City might later be dissatisfied.
She inquired how far this sign restriction would extend and, specifically,
whether it would prohibit the realtor's "open house" signs.
Mr. James Chaffin, representing the Anaheim Advancement Council, advised
that the impetus to their request made originally at their April 29, 1975
meeting, was that since the enforcement of the new sign ordinance, the traffic
count and sales have declined significantly. He related that they
cannot say that the lack of directional signs, flags and banners is the entire
reason but, nevertheless, they feel it is associated.
Mr. Chaffin related that in the interim period between the original request
and this public hearing, the Anaheim Advancement Council has met with Council
Members Kaywood and Seymour and have discussed their situation. At the most
recent meeting they received very strong opposition to directional signs and,
therefore, he wished to clarify the Advancement Council's position this date;
i.e., they feel that these temporary directional signs are very important,
however, they are primarily seeking approval for the use of flags and banners
at the model complexes with certain restrictions. He proposed that they be
permitted two flags per model, with a maximum of 12 flags for any given project;
the flags to be 4 x 6 feet in size, and to be placed on poles not to exceed
20 feet in height. They would request these be permitted on a six-month period
subject to renewal. The developers would be willing to post bond to ensure the
rules are not violated and the flags kept in good condition.
Mr. Chaffin stressed the urgency of the developer's request inasmuch as
the government is trying to spur the economy with certain motivation to
purchase homes at this time.
At the request of Councilwoman Kaywood, Mr. Chaffin explained the pro-
posal for a regimented weekend directional sign program as was utilized in the
City of Placentia. This would be a program including all developers, the signs
themselves would be uniform and their locations identified in advance; the
signs are installed Friday night through Sunday night only; a number of dif-
ferent sign companies could be asked to bid for the program. The proposal
includes special policing of the signs for violations by the sign company
itself. Mr. Chaffin felt that this type of directional sign program would be
advantageous to the developers and aesthetically pleasing to those people
already living in the area. He noted that in their discussions of the problem,
it was ascertained that cities which do permit the signs under certain strict
guidelines have found that these regulations were adhered to by the developers,
and that the residents were not offended by the signs, as compared to those
cities which prohibit them and have a proliferation of many different types~
of "bootleg" directional signs each weekend.
Councilwoman Kaywood advised that at a later meeting it was agreed that
in such a directional sign program, the signs would be placed out on Saturday
morning and removed Sunday night. She stated that this type of program would
eliminate the clutter which is occurring in the hill and canyon area apparently
each weekend.
75-466
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 20~ 1975, 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Chaffin also pointed out that certain developers, for advertising
purposes, are far removed from the normal traffic stream and the limitation
on the number of off-site signs has made it difficult to route traffic into
these locations. They also feel that flags are necessary because it is, in
many cases, difficult to ascertain the location of the models, and reiterated
that their first priority request would be for a flag program as outlined
above.
Mr. Manuel Perez added that the relief the builders are seeking is not
aimed at the hard work that has gone into the present sign ordinance nor to
the considerations given to the Scenic Corridor Overlay zone. This request
arises because of a number of factors, such as the economy~ decrease in traffic,
etc., which have occurred simultaneously and are causing a problem for the
developers. He stated that it is his understanding that the request for use
of flags and banners would not require modification to the sign ordinance.
Mr. David Nelson, 635 South Grove Street, Anaheim, stated that he was not
involved personally in the real estate or home building field, but suggested
since homes, according to the newspapers, are selling readily in other areas,
and the demand is high, that the houses in the hill and canyon area are too
highly priced. He found it difficult to believe that more than the allowed
number of signs would increase the traffic and sales of homes in that area.
He described his own experience of buying and selling his own home which was
accomplished with only one sign.
Mr. John Millick, Vice President Anaheim Hills, Inc., stated that the new
sign ordinance under discussion was the result of many months of work by the
City Council, Task Force, and Planning Commission and was a compromise solution.
However, most of the efforts were directed primarily toward the billboards
which were recognized to be a problem by all concerned. He indicated that they
did not put any time into discussion of flags, banners and directional signs.
Mr. Millick advised that according to statistics kept by Anaheim Hills, Inc.
on the 7 projects now being sold on their property, that when the new ordinance
became effective, which eliminated directional signs and flags, they experienced
a 20% to 30% drop in overall traffic and as much as a 40% decrease in sales from
the beginning of 1975. He also admitted that it is very difficult to directly
attribute this decrease to the absence of flags and directional signs, but
emphasized that the lower traffic and sales statistics are facts with which
the builders have to deal.
Mr. Millick advised that the temporary directional sign program proposed
is very rigid and that a uniform logo in coordinated colors would be used. He
emphasized that because of the topography in the Anaheim Hills area, it is
difficult to locate certain projects. He also emphasized that in a townhouse
project it is impossible to identify the model complex from the others since
they are all landscaped similarly. He concluded that the builders have pro-
posed some solutions which would not create a circus-like atmosphere, but
rather would provide a controlled situation which would alleviate some of the
serious problems they are experiencing in moving their products.
In reply to Mrs. Dinndorf's inquiry about all the different projects out-
side of the Anaheim Hills property which would not use the same logo on a
directional sign, Mr. Millick advised that they had already agreed to utilize
a uniform logo.
Mr. Donald Bretz, 625 South Euclid Street, Chairman of the Anaheim Board
of Realtors Legislative and Taxation Committee, predicted that those very
people who are complaining of off-site tract directional signs now, in the
future when they wish to resell their property, will wish they were able to
have them. He emphasized that the realtor's open-house directional sign is
a definite necessity to his business, and if the directional signs prohibited
include the realtor's temporary directional sign for residential resales, this
would not be in the public interest. He advised that he would not be in favor
of placing a law on the books which would hinder resale activity in the
future.
Mayor Thom, having determined that sufficient public input was received,
declared the public hearing closed.
75-467
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 20, 1975, 1:30 P.M.
Councilwoman Kaywood advised that when the issues of a drop in traffic
and sales after the sign ordinance went into effect was originally raised,
her first impression was to refer the matter to the Canyon Area General
Planning Task Force. Tt~at gro~p, however, was formed with the distinct number
one priority of studying the densJ, ty in the Canyon area and since its
inception, has been diverted from this priority to other problems. She
noted that this is the reason she and Councilman Seymour met with the
developers, builders and sign interests. She indicated that it was not
their intent to amend the recently enacted sign ordinance.
Mayor Thom voiced ~be opinion, that this request is not so much from
the builders as it is ~!~ th~ sign companies in an attempt to realize
more business, and he is not amenable to changing the ordinance.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that she had made it clear she would not be
in favor of amending the ordinance either. However, since there is the
existing problem of an abundance of homes to be sold in the area, she
recognized that there is a need to communicate to potential buyers where
these homes are located.
Councilman Sneegas commented that he has personally observed a
drop in the amount of traffic in an~ about the area in which he lives. He
further explained that there ~s a tract of homes on a road which was closed
last summer because of fire hazard, and that even people living out in the
area are not aware ~}~t ~he road is now open. He felt that there is a problem
for the developers to route traffic to their projects and stated that as a
Councilman he felt it his duty to help the businessmen in the community, as
well as the residents. Therefore, he indicated he would support the effort
to permit two flags per model and directional signs, as outlined, on weekends
and would also include holidays.
Councilman Sneegas thereupon moved that the City Council instruct the City
Attorney to draft an amendment tc Chapter 18.05 (outdoor advertising) which
would permit two flags per model, not to exceed 12 per model complex, and
directional signs in a uniform program as previously described. Councilman
Pebley seconded the motion.
Said motion f~iled to carry by the following vote:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Pebley and Sneegas
NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Kaywood and Thom
ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Seymour
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that she again wanted to make it clear that
she is not in favor of amending the new sign ordinance. She reiterated that
she understood signs and banners are not included in that ordinance and,
therefore, could be pemnitted by some other means.
Mr. Watts counseled that the City Council should, in their consideration
of these matters, separate the two items as flags and banners are requested
to be permitted on-site, whereas the directional signs would be categorized as
off-site signs. He advised that, in his opinion, since the flags and banners
are not specifically mentioned in the ordinance, then it would require an amend-
ment to that section to permit them. He replied, in answer to Councilman
Sneegas' question regarding adopting a Council Policy, that this does not carry
the same weight as an amendment to the ordinance. He further noted that the
outdoor advertising ordinance basically indicates what signs on or off the
tract are permitted and if there is no indication that a specific sign can be
placed, then it is prohibited. He stated that as far as he knows, the "open
house" signs used by realtors have never been legal.
Councilwoman Kaywood inquired whether the Council could permit flags and
banners at model homes on a temporary basis to see if the area residents
object, and also to find out if these make any difference in the amount of'
traffic generated to the sales area.
Mr. Watts replied that the pragmatic answer is that if the Council
adopts such Policy to permit the display of flags and banners,.then staff
will not enforce the ordinance against this activity. However, the problem
he envisions is that if someone contests the Council's action, he did not
know whether or mot he could sustain in court the adoption of a Policy rather
than an amendment of an ordinance.
75-468
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 20~ 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Sneegas moved to instruct staff to draft a Council Policy
to permit the use of flags and banners at model homes in new tracts, two
per model, not to exceed twelve per model complex; to be displayed only
on weekends and legal holidays. Councilman Pebley seconded the motion.
Councilwoman Kaywood felt eight flags were sufficient.
During further discussion the Council amended the foregoing motion to
stipulate that the flags and banners not exceed ten per model complex, which
amendment was approved by both Councilmen Sneegas and Pebley. To this motion
Councilman Thom voted "no". Councilman Seymour absent. MOTION CARRIED.
By general Council consent,it was determined that the question of possible
amendment ~o Chapter 18.05 (outdoor advertising) to permit off-site temporary
directional signs would be held over to the meeting of May 27, 1975 for full
Council.
PRESENTATION OF ORAL HISTORY PROJECT AND PETITIONS - STUDENTS FROM TRIDENT JUNIOR
HIGH SCHOOL: Representatives from the Trident Junior High School, 8th grade class
of mentally gifted students, together with their teacher Mrs. Margaret Herbert,
presented copies of their oral history project entitled "An Oral Inquiry Into
The Operations of the City of Anaheim" to the Council Members.
The Mayor commended the group on the project which he calls exemplary in
size, scope and professional assembly and presentation.
Spokesmen for the group, Tom Campbell, 9591 Banta Avenue and Todd Sallo,
2105 Chanticleer Road, also presented two petitions to the Council (on file
in City Clerk's Office); one requesting the Council to consider the installa-
tion of bicycle paths in the City of Anaheim, thereby, providing a safe place
for bicycle riding; and the second petition requests that bicycle riding be
permitted in the City parks.
At the request of the Mayor, in answer to the students, Mr. John Collier
advised that the bicycle study has been completed by the consultant and pre-
sented to a Committee of various City Departments for review and will be sub-
mitted to the City Council in approximately 30 days.
In reply to the second petition regarding the riding of bicycles and
other vehicles in the City parks, Mr. Collier reported that this regulation
was enacted by Council Policy because of some serious accidents. He advised
that he would like to have the petitions and requests made by the students
referred to the Parks and Recreation Commission for study and recommendation.
By general Council consent, the petitions and requests submitted by the
Trident Junior High School 8th Grade Class were referred to the Parks and
Recreation Commission
RECLASSIFICATION NO. 73-74-37 - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NOS. 1445 AND 1446 -
REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME FOR POSTING OF BOND: Request of Mr. LeRoy Rose,
LeRoy Rose & Associates, dated April 28, 1975, for additional time to post
the bond required as a condition of approval of extension of time granted to
Reclassification No. 73-74-37 and Conditional Use Permit Nos. 1445 and 1446
on February 5, 1975. On that date extension of time was granted by the
Council to the above-mentioned reclassification and conditional use permits
relating to property located at the northeast corner of McKinnon Drive and
Lakeview Avenue, expiring February 5, 1976, subject to the Applicant posting
a bond for street improvements and street lighting facilities and making
required dedication within 90 days.
Mr. Uhl of LeRoy Rose and Associates advised that they made the required
right-of-way dedication and steps were taken to procure the bond. However,
the owner has developed some financial difficulties, which are a matter of
record, and,therefore,requests that the condition regarding the bonding be
waived or additional time granted so that the owner could attempt to resolve
these financial problems.
In reply to the Mayor, Mr. Watts advised that this request might be
accommodated by allowing the petitioner to post a certificate of deposit or
letter of credit; however, if there are financial difficulties, these may not
be viable alternatives. He further suggested that the bond for street
improvements and street lighting could be required prior to issuance of a
building permit rather than the reading of the ordinance.

REQUEST BY ANAHEIM HILLS, INC. - WAIVER OF DRAINAGE REqUIReMENT PRIOR TO GRADINC
~rainase District No. 41): Request of Anaheim Hills, Inc. for waiver of require-
ment that drainage facilities be provided to ultimate disposal prior to grading
of a site in the development of Unit VIII and its effect on Drainage District
No. 4]. was submitted for Council consideration.
Also submitted was report dated May 13, 1975 from the City Engineer
recommending that said request be granted subject to 7 conditions.
The Mayor asked if any of the Council Members had any questions regarding
the conditions submitted.
In reply to Councilwoman Kaywood's question, Mr. Maddox assured her that
it is not the City's intent to waive the requirement for diversion of the 47
acres from the Walnut Canyon Reservoir and this is the reason for the increase
in total drainage area into area 41.
Mr. Maddox further reported that Anaheim Hills, Inc. has indicated ob-
jection to two of the conditions submitted and has requested amendment to
these. He indicated that his office concurs with these amendments and would
recommend that they be incorporated.
On motion by Councilman Sneegas, seconded by Councilman Pebley, the City
Council approved the request of Anaheim Hills, Inc. for waiver of City Council
Policy that drainage facilities be provided to ultimate disposal prior to
grading of a site in connection with development of Unit VIII and its impact on
Drainage District No. 41, subject to the 7 conditions recommended by the City
Engineer, incorporating the revisions requested by Anaheim Hills, Inc. as
follows:
1. The ultimate offsite drainage facilities will be constructed in
accordance with City Council policy prior to or concurrent with any develop-
ment outside of the area shaded in red and shown on Exhibit "A".
75-470
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 20, 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
2. Anaheim Hills, Inc. shall construct and maintain an energy dissipater
structure and desilting and/or debris basins, on their property, at all dis-
charge points from Development Unit VIII and Canyon Rim Road. Plans for said
facilities shall be approved by the City Engineer, with construction being
completed prior to October 15, 1975.
3. The existing earthen dam, north of Santa Ana Canyon Road, shall be
removed and an earth berm constructed on the west side of the drainage course
as shown on Exhibit "C".
4. Ultimata drainage facilities will be installed by Anaheim Hills, Inc.
when their development extends beyond the area shown on Exhibit "A", or at the
time a downstream property owner develops, whichever occurs first. The first
developer shall prepare the necessary plans and obtain approval of all af-
fected public agencies. Construction costs may be financed through a drainage
reimbursement agreement.
5. That the property owner of record enter into an agreement holding
the City of Anaheim and County of Orange harmless for any damage caused by
surface runoff until such time as the ultimate storm drain facilities have
been constructed. Said agreement shall be recorded against the property and
be binding upon any successors or heirs.
6. Anaheim Hills, Inc. shall construct and maintain a retarding facility
on their property to accommodate the diversion of the 47 acres into District 41
until such time as the ultimate facilities are constructed.
7. Payment of a drainage fee at the time of development by the property
within the area shaded red and shown on Exhibit A" The fee shall be deter-
mined by the City Engineer and may be applied to the construction costs of
the ultimate facilities when they are installed.
Councilman Seymour absent. MOTION CARRIED.
REQUEST - APPROVAL OF SPECIAL RECREATIONAL FACILITY (PELANCONI PARK) ON THE
RANCHO YORBA DEVELOPMENT PLAN (RECLASSIFICATION NO. 70-71-13~ TRACT NO. 8783):
Request of Presley of Southern California, Grant Company of California,
Bernardo M. Yorba and Manny Fingerhut for approval of plans for special
recreational facility on the Rancho Yorba development plan, previously con-
tinued from the meetings of March 18, April 1, April 22 and May 6, 1975, was
resubmitted for Council consideration.
Mr. Fred Wilson, representing Presley of Southern California, presented
pro forma park improvement cost, drawn up following the meeting with Council
Members Seymour and Kaywood. He explained that the total cost of the park is
estimated at $513,670.00 including the cost for the land. He explained the
participation proposed by each of the developers and that the deficit amount
of $40,394.00 was agreed to be split by Mr. Yorba and Mr. Fingerhut, so that
there would be no cost to the City for development of the park.
Mr. John Harding, Administrative Assistant, advised that this proposal,
as presented, commits the City to spend the park and recreation in lieu
fees from these tracts on this project as a first priority, which some of
the Council Members have previously indicated they would not approve. The
City has two other park sites in that area, at Royal Oak and Imperial Highway
and on Nohl Ranch Road, which are actually on the park master plan. He
advised Councilman Pebley that these park in lieu fees would amount to
$69,999.00.
Mr. Harding further reported that it was discussed in negotiations that
the Grant Company of California had bonded for $142,000 and, according to this
proposal, they are lessening their park obligation by $50,000.00. The proposal
also calls for a dirt gravel roadway, whereas the City staff does not feel this
would be sufficient. They would prefer concrete, but consider asphalt the
minimum material which would be acceptable for this road.
Mr. Wilson stated that he felt it is not equitable to require the
developers who are already dedicating land for public use and picking up the
balance of the cost for improvement to, in addition, pay their park in lieu
fees. He also voiced the opinion that park in lieu fees should be spent on
the subdivisions from which they are generated. He advised that the plans for
a special recreational facility, as submitted, and for the various participa-
tion of all land owners and developers involved, represent their proposals for
the use of the area in compliance with the condition imposed by their tentative
map and requested that the City Council vote as to whether or not this plan
meets their approval.
75-471
City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 20, 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Thom advised that although the plan is acceptable in concept, in
its present form with the participation as outlined, the City Council could
not approve it. He noted that there still appears to be a discrepancy in the
participation,as outlined,of $69,000.00 and provisions for a concrete road.
Councilwoman Kaywood emphasized that the Rancho Yorba Development Plan
for condominiums in this area was approved strictly with the understanding
that subject property would be dedicated to open space recreational use in
perpetuity, and that without this stipulation,that density would not have
been approved. She stated that it was made very clear at the meetings held
with the developers that the park in lieu fees would not be considered as a
part of their participation.
In reply to Councilman Sneegas, Mr. Collier advised that maintenance
costs for the type of recreational facility planned on this site would be
approximately $1,500.00 per acre annually, and that the park usage would
primarily be for family picnics, etc. No football fields or traditional
park facilities are planned.
Mr. Wilson requested some time to confer with the other participating
developers. Later in the meeting, Mr. Wilson returned and requested a
further two-week continuance of consideration of the special recreational
facility, to the meeting of J~ne 3, 1975, which was granted on motion by
Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood. Councilman Seymour
absent. MOTION CARRIED.

The Mayor declared Resoiution Nos. 75R-257 through 75R-260, both inclusive,
duly passed and adopted.
ENCROACHMENT PERMIT NO. 74-22A: Submitted by David Moore, Armet & Davis, Archi-
tects for E1 Camino Bank, to encroach under and across a public alley for the
installation and maintenance of a proposed electrical service connection, to
provide pow,:~r to the proposed installation of drive-thru banking facilities,
and to cover the exist:ing pneumatic tube presently under and across said alley.
The Deputy City C.ierk read into the record a statement from Mr. Thornton E.
Piersall, D:.i.rector of Pubf£ic Works, ~ndicating that he owns stock in the E1
Camino Bank.
Councilman Pebley al. so indicated that he owns stock in the E1 Camino Bank
and would no't participate J.n discussion nor vote on the issue.
Mr. Alan Colby, Vice President and Cashier, E1 Camino Bank, explained
that the encroachment permit is necessary to al.low them to proceed with their
plans to develop an auto-bank, to the rear of their property. In order-to,
conduct this auto-bank, they will need a pneumatic tube such as the one existing,
with controls at either end and, therefore, require the encroachment permit to
allow the electrical connection at the outside end. He advised that they will
require this encroachment permit even if they do not proceed with this auto-
bank plan for the existing equipment or for improvement of that equipment.
Also submitted with the a. pp].ication for encroachment permit was a recom-
mendation from the City Engineer that. said encroachment be denied, which was
based on objections received from the Electrical Division.
Mr. George Edwards, Electrical Superintendent, stated that the Utilities
Department recommends denial of this encroachment permit since the approval
of it would establish a precedent which will erode the electrical utilities
service policies and rate structure. He noted that past requests for
similar encroachment permits have been denied. The present electrical rate
structures recognize the customer demand diversity and permitting private
electrical facilities in the public right of way will dilute this diversity
and is not in the public nor utilities interest. Service rules presently
call for service only to continuous parcels without customer facilities
crossing the public right of way. For this reason, they recommended that this
request for private electrical circuits in the public right of way 'be denied.
Councilman Sneegas inquired if it could be built-in and serviced with a
separate meter to which Mr. Edwards replied affirmatively.
Mr. Colby advised that although there would be no proble~n with separate
electrical meters, in order to run the pneumatic tube, they will still require
the encroachment permit for e].ectrical circuits across the public right of Way.
Mr. Watts advised that the present drive-through facility at the E1 Camino
Bank is located on property owned by the City and leased to the Bank for a five-
year period which has recently expired. He suggested that it might be possible to
resolve this encroachment problem during negotiations for renewal of the lease.
He further suggested that the Utilities Department review the situation with
the E1 Camino Bank representatives and architects to determine if there is
some other manner in which the problem can 'be resolved.

an encroachment permit for private electrical circuits in the public right of
way. Councilman Seymour absent. MOTION CARRIED.

with E.I.R. No. 149:
a. minimum lot width
b. minimum front setback
c. minimum rear yard
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC75-86,
granted Variance No. 2674, in part, with waiver "b" having been eliminated,
subject to conditions,and reported that they believe draft E.I.R. No. 149
does conform to the City and State Guidelines and the State of California
Environmental Quality Act and, based upon such information, recommendsthat
the City Council certify E.I.R. No. 149 as being in compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act provided, however, that additional
information shall be provided as a supplement to E.I.R. No. 149pertaining
to alternative mitigation measures for the sound from Santa Ana Canyon Road~
said supplement to be submitted prior to City Council review of E.I.R. No. 149,
Variance No. 2674 and Tentative Tract No. 8873.
The Deputy City Clerk reported that a letter fromBio~coustical Engineering
Corporation, dated May 7, 1975, submit~ngadditional information in connection
with E.I.R. No. 149 has been received and copies distributed to the Council
Members.
Mr. Roberts advised that in addition to the letter, sketches showing the
relationship of the berm and wall to both the elevations of Santa Ana Canyon
Road and the structures to be located in the proposed development, were re-
ceived this date from Bio~coustical Engineering Corporation. He advised that
members of Development Services Department have examined these documents, and
based on past recommendations and actions, believe that if these sketches and
this letter of May 7, 1975 are incorporated as an addendum to E.I.R. No. 149,
then it would be sufficient and complete as an informative document.
Councilwoman Kaywood questioned the actual height of the berm and wall
described in the documents, and the comparative relationship to the proposed
residential structures.
Mr. Roberts advised that according to the sketches submitted, the earthen
berm would be constructed along the property line, separating Santa Ana Canyon
Road from subject property. The elevation at the top of this berm would be
the same as the elevation of the travel lanes along the Santa Ana Canyon Road.
A six-foot high masonry wall would be located on the top of the berm. The
pad elevations for each of the lots within the subdivision would be from four
to four and one-half feet below the elevation of the travel lanes on Santa Aha
Canyon Road. According to the documentation provided by Bio~coustical Engineer-
ing Corporation, these barriers would bring the noise level to an acceptable
65 dbA in the rear yards of the homes.

Mr. Roberts further advised, in answer to Councilwoman Kaywood, that in
order to achieve the recommended sound level of 45 dBA inside the homes with
doors and windows closed it is suggested that the windows of the upstairs
rooms be of double strength glass and insulation be installed in the walls.
He reported that the developer has stipulated to providing this additional
protection and the developer's representative present in the audience concurred.
In reply to Councilwoman Kaywood's concern that the proposed homes to be
located adjacent to Santa Ana Canyon Road be amply protected from the noise
on said thoroughfare, Mr. Bob Kelley of the Planning Division indicated that
the protection listed should be adequate under these circumstances and taking
into consideration the fact that this road will not be a truck route.
Mr. Roberts further outlined a possible amendment to one of the conditions
of approval of Tentative Map Tract No. 8873, which would ensure that both in-
door and outdoor noise criteria are met.
Councilwoman Kaywood also inquired whether the developer will be making
every attempt to save the existing trees on the property and his representative
in the audience replied affirmatively.

PROPOSED PURCHASE - CITY-OWNED PROPERTY ON EUCLID STREET (CP NO. 10): Mr. John
Harding reported on the appraisal submitted to the City's Real Property Section
in connection with City-owned property located on the west side of Euclid
Street, north of Crescent Avenue, adjacent to the Carbon Creek Channel. This
appraisal indicates a fair market value as of May 6, 1975 of $52,500.00 for
said property.
Mr. Harding summarized that the agreement on obtaining this appraisal was
that either buyer or seller had the option of rejecting the appraised value.
He further reported that the Real Property Section advises that the City
purchased this property in 1969 for $5.50 per square foot, or $91,410.00,
total, as a potential fire station site. Due to joint response agreement with
the City of Fullerton and the coming construction of the Crescent Avenue over-
crossing, this fire station site is no longer necessary. He advised that the
stazf recommendation is that the property not be sold at this time and that
the City enter into a lease arrangement with the adjacent property owner who
wishes to purchase the lot to be used for parking purposes.
Council discussion ensued and the general consensus of opinion was that
the members would not be amenable to selling the property at this fair market
value, having originally paid $91,410.00 for it. Councilman Pebley was not
agreeable to leasing the property to the adjacent property owner for parking
as suggested. At the conclusion of the discussion the Council directed the
City Manager's Office to contact the party interested in purchasing this
property and convey that the Council might be agreeable to a counter offer
of $75,000.00 for subject parcel, but declined to sell the property at
$52,500.00.

PROPOSAL REGARDING CITY'S DUPLICATING NEEDS - A. B. DICK COMPANY: Councilman
Sneegas introduced a communication dated May 19, 1975 from Mr. K. Musurlian,
Anaheim Branch Manager of A. B. Dick Company, 1380 South Anaheim Boulevard,
appealing to the City Council to permit them to amend their original proposal
in connection with the City's copying needs.
During brief discussion of the manner in which the City's specifications
were presented Mr. Harding explained that all interested firms were invited to
attend a meeting at which the City's requirements and present costs were des-
cribed and the participating firms invited to submit bids.
Mayor Thom voiced the opinion that the specifications should be set forth
in greater detail so that each company may have a fair and equitable chance to
compete.
By general Council consent, it was suggested that the A. B. Dick Company
be given additional specific information as to the City's copying needs and
that they be given the same consideration as the other competing firms., with
report back to Council by the Manager's Office in one week.
