EMPLOYEE HEALTH BENEFIT PROPOSALS: (Continued from the meeting of December 9, 1975.)
Mr. Garry McRae reported that in accordance with Council direction given at the
meeting of December 9, 1975, representatives from employees groups heard the
proposal from the Independent Insurance Agents Association of Anaheim and also
considered the possibility of a combined program whereby the medical benefits
would be self-funded and administered by Galbraith & Green, Inc., and the
hospital benefits provided and administered by Blue Cross. After considering
these proposals, three of the employee organizations responded with letters
supporting the self-funded approach and IBEW also has verbally indicated their
support of a self-funded employee insurance benefit program.
Mr. McRae recommended against the combined proposal because of the estimated
cost submitted by Blue Cross at $40,000 to perform approximately 10% of the
workload. In addition~ Galbraith & Green, Inc. indicated on such combined propo-
sal they could reduce their charges only slightly.
Mr. McRae therefore reaffirmed the previous recommendation dated
December 5, 1975, that the City Council adopt a self-funded insurance program
concept for employee health benefits and accept the consensus conclusion of the
evaluation committee and appoint Galbraith & Green, Inc. the low bidder, as
administrators of this plan.

City Hall.., Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 23, 1.975, 1:30 P.M.
In regard to stop-loss insurance, Mr. McRae recommended that the City Council
defer any decision for a period of 60 days, so that proposals might be solicited
from all interested parties for a combination life and stop-loss insurance plan.
He advised that since the stop-loss insurance is based on accrued paid claims for
a twelve-month period, the City's exposure would be minimal and the delay may
produce substantial savings.
Mr. Hal Parker representing the Independent Insurance Agents Association of
Anaheim responded to the comments made by the employee organizations that at the
time their presentation was made of the fully-insured program, no negative
responses were given. He outlined some of the provisions and benefits of the
fully-insured program they propose for the City of Anaheim as described in the
letter dated December 18, 1975, from Tom Bode, President of the Independent
Insurance Agents Association of Anaheim. (Said letter on file in the office of
the City Clerk.) Mr. Parker advised their program reflects a potential savings
to the City of Anaheim of $400,000 maximum and noted that with a reduced deductible
amount from $100 to $50 or with either of the two options available which would
provide additional benefits for prescription drugs and vision care, the potential
savings would be reduced, but would still be available ina minimum amount of
$100,000 if all three of these options were included.
Discussion was held between Council Members and Mr. Parker as to the reasons
the employee associations elected not to recommend the fully insured health
benefits program. During the discussion Mr. Harvey Waldren, Vice President of
AMEA explained that a prime factor in the decision not to recommend the insured
program was the $100 deductible which the program provided. This would represent
an increased cost to the employees as their current program required only a $50
deductible. Mr. Waldren also pointed out that they were given only one insurance
proposal to consider and therefore had no basis for comparison.
Mr. Parker reiterated that it is possible with their fully insured plan to
reduce the deductible to $50 by the City self-insuring that portion of the
benefit which would cost approximately $100,000 per year. There is no insured
plan available any longer which offers a $50 deductible amount.
The Mayor offered Mr. Bob Beagle of Blue Cross an opportunity to speak, but
he indicated he had no comments to add.
Additional discussion was held between Mr. Paul Ashton of Galbraith & Green,
Inc., City Council Members and Mr. Hal Parker during which the self-insured
versus the fully-insured insurance proposals were further compared.
Councilman Seymour voiced the opinion that the only logical reason he could find
for the recommendation presented to adopt the self-funded approach, when the
fully-insured program proposes a guaranteed savings of $100,000 to $400,000,
depending upon the options selected, is the credibility factor.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilwoman .Kaywood the
City Council approved the self-funded insurance concept and authorized the
City Attorney to draft an agreement with Galbraith & Green, Inc. for a 1-year
term in accordance with their proposal, effective 3anuary 1, 1976. MOTION
CARRIED.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Sneegas the
City Council adopted the recommendations of the Personnel Director to defer
decision on stop-loss insurance for a period of 60 days and further directed
the City Personnel Director to solicit proposals for said insurance. MOTION
CARRIED.
Councilman Seymour requested and urged that Mr. Parker and the Independent
Insurance Agents Association of Anaheim continue to work with the City in an
advisory capacity on not only the health benefit insurance but other City
insurance needs. He noted that he would personally be in favor of discussing
the concept of forming an insurance commission to act as an advisory board, in-
asmuch as this would enable the City to avail themselves of the many years of
insurance expertise which is represented in this association.
RESOLUTION NO. 75R-654 - ESTABLISHING JOB CLASSIFICATION - CENSUS SUPERVISOR: On

CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - RECLASSIFICATION NO. 66-67-61 - AMENDMENT TO CONDITION:
To consider amendment to Condition No. 1 of Resolution No. 67R-310 pertaining to
dedication for street widening purposes. (Continued from the meetings of
December 9, and 16, 1975, to this meeting at the request of the applicant.)
The City Planning Commission pursuant to Resolution No. PC75-228 recommended
that the Council adopt the following amendment to Condition No. 1 of Resolution
No. 67R-310:
la. That dedication~shall be made to th= City of Anaheim on all streets in
the area hereinbefore described according to the Circulation Element of the
General Plan-Highway Rights-of-Way, prior to the adoption of the ordinance
rezoning the property in the area, except Haster Street between Manchester Avenue
and Katella Avenue.
b. That the owner(s) of property along Haster Street between
Manchester Avenue and Katella Avenue shall deed to the City of Anaheim a strip
of land forty-five (45) feet in width from the centerline of the street along
Haster Street for street widening purposes, prior to the adoption of the
ordinance rezoning the property; and that dedication to the ultimate width
according to the Circulation Element of the General Plan-Highway Rights-of-Way,
shall be made to the City of Anaheim on Haster Street between Manchester Avenue
and Katella Avenue, at the time the property is redeveloped.
The City Clerk reported that the Council at their meeting of December 9, 1975,
by motion, ratified the categorical exemption status of this proposed zoning
action.
Miss Santalahti reported that in discussions with the applicant's attorney
subsequent to the Planning Commission consideration of this matter, it was
discovered that Manchester and Katella both would also involve dedication in
addition to Haster Street. The property owner was willing to make dedication
at this time along Haster Street only. Staff has since reviewed the situation
and it is apparent that the dedication is not necessary at this time; that the
property could be rezoned Without any detrimental effect if the conditions of
the resolution of intent were amended to reflect that partial dedication would
be made on Haster Street now~ and the property would be developed in full
conformance with the C-R zone standards at the time of development to its
ultimate use.
Miss Santalahti reported that the Planning staff, the property owner and
his attorney all concur with the rewording of the condition as recommended by
the Planning staff which is now proposed for approval by the City Council.
The Mayor asked if the applicant or his agent were present and wished to
address the Council.
Mrs. Marjorie Mize LeGaye stated that her client agrees with the reports
submitted by the Zoning Supervisor and is satisfied with the proposed amendment
to Condition No. 1.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to address the Council either in favor or
in opposition, there being no response he declared the hearing closed.

SUBMISSION OF BIDS FOR REMOVAL AND RESTORATION OF THE TELLERS-KENT ORGAN: (To be
removed from the Wagner House, State College Boulevard.) Pursuant to direction
given by the City Council at their meeting of September 9, 1975, when funds were
authorized for removal and restoration of the Wagner House Pipe Organ, pending
submission of more complete cost estimates, Mrs. Leta Archer, Director of the
Anaheim Foundation for Culture and the Arts, submitted the following cost estimates
which she had received from three different firms to complete this project:
Blaine Ricketts, P. O. Box 17069, Los Angeles, California, 90017, $3,500;
Manuel J. Rosales, 2716 West Avenue 35, Los Angeles, California, 90065, $400 to
$500 for moving and $7,000 to $9,000 for rebuilding and reinstallation with
necessary mechanical improvements; Newport Organs, 846 Production Place, Newport
Beach, California, 92660, $4,550 maximum.
Discussion ensued during which Mrs. Archer advised that the Anaheim Foundation
for Culture and the Arts would like the organ installed in the auditorium of the
Cultural Arts Center to be used for recitals and other performances. She reported
that this Teller-Kent Organ has a harp and automatic player feature which make
it even more valuable and that they would also like these features to be restored.
It was noted that the low bidder, Blaine Ricketts had not included or discussed
whether or not his price would include the restoration of the functions of the
organ.
Councilwoman Kaywood moved that the City Council accept the price quoted by
Newport Organs and that staff be instructed to prepare an agreement in accordance
with the terms set forth.
Prior to any second or voting on the motion, Councilman Sneegas suggested
that the low bidder, Blaine Ricketts, first be contacted to ascertain
whether or not they would be willing to perform the necessary work to refurbish
the player and harp features and locate the organ in the auditorium, and that this
might be discussed over the telephone prior to Council taking any action.
Pursuant to this suggestion, Councilwoman Kaywood withdrew her motion and
the matter was deferred.
Later in the meeting, Mrs. Archer reported back that she was unable to contact
Blaine Ricketts by telephone.

IRRIGATION SYSTEM - H. G. DAD MILLER GOLF COURSE: Mr. Liegler submitted request
for approval of an agreement with Gordon's Irrigation Consulting for redesign
of the irrigation system at the H. G. "Dad" Miller Golf Course in an amount not
to exceed $6,800. Also submitted were copies of the minutes of the Golf Course
Advisory Commission meeting of December 11, 1975, at which this matter was
discussed and approval recommended. Mr. Liegler remarked that this item had
been discussed by the Golf Course Advisory Commission back in June, 1975, and
recommended, but the actual award of contract deferred since the Council wished
to first determine how the management of the golf courses would be handled. He
advised that $100,000 has been budgeted to perform this work.
Originally the proposed letter agreement called for a sum of $6,500 and
Mr. Liegler suggested that this agreement be amended to a sum not to
exceed $6,800 to provide for the probable inflationary increase. An additional
amendment to the proposed letter agreement to provide that a progress payment
be made in lieu of $800 at the time the agreement is signed as originally proposed
is suggested inasmuch as this would be an advance of funds.
Mr. Watts reported that he would propose to combine this $800 figure with
the first payment as originally proposed providing for a $1900 payment at the
time of presentation of the preliminary plans.
RESOLUTION NO. 75R-660: Councilman Sneegas offered Resolution No. 75R-660 for

which ~uld be added to the City's fleet for use at the H. G. "Dad" Miller
Municipal Golf Course. He advised that this proposal was discussed by the
Golf Course Advisory Commission at their December 11, 1975, meeting and they
are in support of same. He noted that the contract with Mr~ Nicholas Cassa,
the Golf Pro at this course, will expire effective December 30, 1975, and
thereafter, there will be no golf carts available unless provided by the City.
Mr. Liegler reported that these carts would carry the same guarantee as
new carts and since they have been used very seldom, they will appear to be
new. The existing maintenance contract with Taylor-Dunn would also be extended
to cover these additional carts.
With regard to financing this purchase, Mr. Talley reported that the
Council Contingency Fund has a balance of $175,000. He recommended that the
Council approve an allocation from the Council Contingency Fund for $35,000,
on the basis of a commitment by Mr. Liegler that if the Council Contingency
Fund runs low he will delay construction of t.he redesigned irrigation
system at H. G. "Dad" Miller Golf Course to the fol£owlng fiscal year, thereby
releasing $100,000 to restore the $35,000 to the Council Contingency Fund.

City Hall; Anaheim; California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 23; 1975; 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Seymour cautioned that the $100,000 under discussion might be
one of the capital improvement items included in the 3.6 million dollar surplus
created at the time the 1975-76 Budget was adopted and consequently might be
used to absorb increases in utility rates.
Mr. Talley advised he was told that it was not a portion of that surplus,
however, he personally could not vouch for this as he has just begun the
analysis of that fund. He gave Council his assurance that if this $100,000 is
a part of that surplus fund, he would locate the $35,000 somewhere else in the
budget.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Thom, the City
Council authorized the purchase of 30 reconditioned golf carts from Tayor-Dunn
Manufacturing Company in the approximate amount of $35,000, thereby allowing
expansion of the golf cart operation to include the H. G. "Dad" Miller Anaheim
Municipal Golf Course along with Anaheim Hills Golf Course as proposed by
Mr. Liegler. Further, the transfer of approximately $35,000 from the Council
Contingency Fund to cover said purchase, was authorized, with the assurance of
the Assistant City Manager that if the Contingency Fund runs low, said amount
will be removed from certain golf course construction accounts and restored to
the Council Contingency Fund. MOTION CARRIED.

REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF FEES - OCTD - 1825 VIA BURTON STREET: Request of Supervisor
Clark for waiver of all fees and assessments in connection with the utilization
by. Orange County Transit District of an existing building at 1825 Via Burton and
adjoining property as a temporary maintenance and operations facility, was submitted.
Also submitted was report from the City Manager's Office indicating that generally
it has been the City's policy to collect all fees and assessments from all appli-
cants including Federa~ State and County governments and special districts, except-
ing some instances when building permit fees have been waived if the building in
question was governmentally owned. In this instance the facility at 1825
Via Burton is leased by OCTD.
On motion by Councilman Thom, seconded by Councilman Pebley, said request for
waiver of fees and assessments was denied, based on the fact that the existing
building is leased by the District and such fees and assessments have not previously
been waived for any building unless it was governmentally owned. MOTION CARRIED.
REPORT AND DISCUSSION - TRANSPORTATION CENTER LEASE - MULTIMODAL GROUP INC.
Messrs. Jack Sinclair and Norman Smedegaard representing Multimodal Group Inc.
presented preliminary plans and a rough draft of a proposed lease agreement
pertaining to a transportation center to be located on property currently
utilized by the Anaheim Stadium. (Said firm was granted an Exclusive Right to
Negotiate Agreement pursuant to Resolution No. 75R-252 in May of 1975.)
Mr. Smedegaard reviewed the activities undertaken by Multimodal Group Inc.
during the past year, which has resulted in the receipt of notification from
Amtrak, by letter, that they will stop one of the two San Diego trains, on both
its north and south run, at this location in Anaheim as soon as the platform is
installed, and will also stop some of the other trains if the traffic warrants.
Another positive result of their efforts is that the Bank of America, which
was planning to open a permanent branch office at Katella, is now considering
the installation of a temporary branch in the area, with the permanent branch
ultimately at the transportation center.
Mr. Jack Sinclair explained the various plans and concepts for the transpor-
tation center as drawn and envisioned by Multimodal Group Inc. using artistic
renderings to illustrate his presentation.
Mr. Sinclair described the basic first phase concept as essentially a
railroad station which would provide Amtrak service as soon as possible. He
indicated that Multimodal Group Inc. believes the City would want this
transportation center facility to be outstanding and in order to create such a
center, they believe it should incc~porate many different modes of transportation.
He noted that it is the confluence of rail and freeway and the large number of
parking spaces which makes this a very good potential location for transfer from
one mode of transportation to the other. He described the types of transporta-
tion facilities they hope to have available in this center in addition to the
railroad, as Park'N Ride and Dial-A-Ride services through OCTD, long distance
buses, taxis and rental cars. Multimodal Group Inc. is aware of the California
Angels' right to be assured of a number of parking spaces and that looking to
the future there may be a time when the traffic demand generated by the transpor-
tation center would require an elevated parking structure. He described the
75-1114
City Hal.l~. A.na.heim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 23~ 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
artistic rendering with the Multimodal Group Inc. long-term goal, which would be
a maximum utilization of the property and would include, in addition to the
railroad platform and access to other modes of transportation, specialty shops,
restaurants and a permanent financial institution. He added that the proposal
is to use the facility approximately as it is in the first phase~ except for the
addition of a railroad platform.
In response to Mayor Thom's specific question regarding whether or not air
and water transportation systems or linkages thereto were being considered for
this center, Mr. Sinclair advised that part of the anticipated linkage would be
an airport bus service.
Mr. Smedegaard explained that one of the terms contemplated in the lease
would be that Multimodal Group Inc. as the City's tenant, receives no rights to
possession of any property but as the City's client would file each and every
single project for approval.
The proposed lease suggests a minimum rental fee of 21% of adjusted gross
income. The lease also includes provisions against the client encumbering the
City's property. He outlined that they would propose to carry liability
insurance in the amount of one million dollars, and to carry fire and extended
coverage on everything during the construction period to 90% of its value.
However, any and all leasehold interests or improvements built on the property
would be paid by Multimodal Group Inc.
Mr. Smedegaard emphasized that there are two time frames which must be dealt
with fairly soon: (1) that the bank branch which is being replaced expires
March 1, 1976, and they must be under construction on a temporary replacement
branch by that date; (2) that because of the impending onset of the specialized
commuter train service between Los Angeles and San Diego, it is imperative to
have a platform built by March 1, 1976, inasmuch as it is felt it would be
impossible to obtain service if the platform is not in existence at the inception
of this service.
Mr. Smedegaard explained that their efforts at development and securing
interested tenants are currently stymied by the fact that Multimodal Group Inc.
does not actually have any lease agreement with the City. In addition,
Mr. Smedegaard explained that if the Multimodal Group is held accountable for
all of the studies and other requirements pursuant to the Exclusive Right to
Negotiate Agreement entered into on May 20, 1975, then there is no way that
they can meet the time frames suggested.
Mr. Murdoch explained that from this discussion with Council, staff is
seeking some policy guidelines as to what the City's interest is in transporta-
tion activities and if the City is interested in transportation elements, which
ones, and to what extent?
Insofar as the railroad platform is concerned, Mr. Murdoch reported that
the City Engineering Department did prepare plans for same using criteria as
outlined by the Santa Fe Railroad and Amtrak. These plans did result in a rather
expensive platform facility. It was further discovered that the design was well
beyond the minimum requirements for such a station. The staff is currently
preparing design plans for a minimum temporary facility which could be expanded
at a later time. He explained that there will also have to be some method for
handling ticket sales, Railway Express packages and baggage, which would require,
in addition to the platform, a temporary or mobile building. In regard to the
temporary bank facility, Mr. Murdoch suggested that it is felt the best location
for this would be away from the construction area, at the northwest corner of
the Stadium parking lot, on State College Boulevard.
Mr. Murdoch reported that financing possibilities have been explored for
the platform construction and Redevelopment funds are not available for the
project. If there is any federal funding available it would certainly not be
available within the time period required an~ therefore, a private funding
program such as Multimodal Group Inc. is offerin~is the vehicle to accomplish
the platform. He noted that in connection with private funding there is the
realization of the importance of the lease which would then make available to
them the future commercial development which would offset this investment.

City Hall~ ~n~be.im~ ~a.l.ifornia - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 23~ 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Seymour agreed that the City should attempt to have the plat-
form ready by March 1, 1976, and if this is the location for the multimodal
transportation center~ it makes a lot of sense to encourage Multimodal Group
Inc. to deliver transportation services to Anaheim. He pointed out that he
has great concern over one of the comments made by Mr. Sinclair in his presen-
tation regarding air travel, and that he wished to point out at this juncture
that he could not support any kind of direct air travel facility at this loca-
tion. A second concern Councilman Seymour pointed out was in regard to the
amount of reasonable rent for the ground under consideration. In this connec-
tion he felt the City Attorney's Office should seek consultation from a firm
with experience in real estate development and/or transportation facilities to
advise on what a reasonable rental would be.
Mr. Watts indicated that he is considering retaining the services of an
individual or firm such ~sColdwell-Banker, with experience in these type ground
leases.
Councilman Seymour stated that the language as used on page 6 of the pro-
posed lease document includes justification which convinces him that at this
particular state the intent of the Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement is
being reached. However, in his opinion, a marketing study is not necessary to
determine that there should be a train station at this location under discussion,
because of the fact there is no other location for Amtrak to stop.
Mr. Bob Linn, Vice Chairman of the Anaheim Intermode Committee, was
recognized by the Mayor and advised that the only thing they are willing to
concede at this time is that the train station has to be located at the site
indicated by Multimodal Group Inc. He advised that the Intermode Committee
has not reached any conclusions on the appropriate location for the multimodal
transportation center and would be hesitant to make any recommendations on same
until the results of the study being conducted by Daniel, Mann, Johnson and
Mendenhall are submitted.
Councilman Seymour observed that these results would be in by the time
that Multimodal Group Inc. is ready to propose commercial development on the
property.
Council Pebley left the Council Chambers. (5:05 P.M.)
At the conclusion of discussion, on motion by Councilman Thom, seconded
by Councilman Seymour, the City Attorney was instructed to negotiate an appro-
priate lease with Multimodal Group Inc. along the terms presented and discussed,
to be submitted for Council consideration. MOTION CARRIED. (Councilman Pebley

Engineer.
Report from the City Engineer recommended that if the extension of time is
approved it be subject to the following conditions:
1. That Condition No. 1 of Reclassification No. 71-72-18 be altered to

RECLASSIFICATION NO. 74-75-39 - REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF REVISED PLANS: Revised
plans for development of a 19-unit apartment complex at 2683 West Ball Road
were submitted for Council consideration by Mr. Michael Clark, said property is
the subject of Reclassification No. 74-75-39.
Miss Santalahti reported that when originally approved, there was much
discussion on this reclassification by both Council and Planning Commission
regarding the fact that the site is located immediately adjacent to an existing
single-family tract to the north and consequently a condition was imposed on
Reclassification No. 74-75-39 that a heavily landscaped five foot wide buffer
zone be provided, said landscaped area subject to the approval of the City
Council and Planning Commission. Both original and revised plans were posted
on the wall of Council Chambers and Miss Santalahti described the basic
differences between these as follows: That the number of dwelling units in
the revised plan has been lowered from 25 to 19 units with decrease in density
from 33.5 to 30.1 units per acre; that the units in the revised plans would be
located 45 feet minimum from the north property line; that the open recreational
area which originally abutted the single-family properties to the north has been
relocated to the south; that while the originally proposed plan indicated tuck-
under parking, all spaces on the revised plans would be at grade level and the
circulation pattern has been changed to a drive loop through the property; that
the five foot landscaped buffer zone on the north property line has been deleted
and instead there would be accessory garages abutting the northerly property
line.
75-1118
City Hall.~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 23~ 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
Miss Santalahti advised that the Planning Commission considered these
revised plans at their meeting of December 22, 1975, and they were concerned as
to the reaction of the adjacent property owners to the rev%sed plans because of
the deletion of the five foot buffer zone and the fact the 10-foot high garage
walls would abut the residential property. The Planning Commission felt the
matter should be set for public hearing to reconsider plans because of the
rather substantial changes which have been proposed.
Mr. Michael Clark addressed the Council advising that in his opinion the
changes proposed to his plans would still fullfill the sound attenuation,
screening and security purposes which were intended by the 5-foot buffer zone
with 6-foot high fence; and that these plans would provide a better project.
Mr. Clark stated that he has contacted three of the four affected property
owners to the north, two of whom are in complete agreement with the proposed
revisions; that he was unable to contact the fourth property owner and the
third was present to speak for himself; that the one person who spoke at the
Planning Commission hearing is one of those who has signed the letter indicating
agreement with the revised plans.
In response to Mayor Thom's concern that another public hearing should be
held since the changes proposed are so substantial'and this project is~d±fferent
from that which was originally considered, Miss Santalahti reported that with
the exception of the condition regarding the landscaped buffered zone, the
applicant could finalize RM-1200 zoning on subject property without any problem
using the revised plans, since these are in complete conformance with RM-1200
site development standards.
Mr. Dick McAllister, 2850 Elmlawn Drive, Anaheim, one of the property owners
whose home abuts the north property line of subject parcel, advised that his
wife would prefer to see the alley and garage system as exists behind their
home continued on subject property. Their main concern is the prospect of a
10-foot high garage wall along their rear yard, but are willing to agree to
Council's decision. He advised that if there is any way the height of the
garage walls could be reduced, they would certainly appreciate it.
Mr. Clark advised that he would be willing to stipulate to whatever changes
in interior or exterior construction are necessary to allow a garage height of
less than 10 feet. He further stated that if Mr. McAllister wishes to continue
the higher wall across his entire rear property line, that he would furnish
this at his own cost during the course of construction.
At the conclusion of discussion, Councilman Sneegas moved that the revised
plans submitted in conjunction with Reclassification No. 74-75-39 be approved
subject to applicant's filing of a letter with the Planning Department no later
than 5:00 P.M., December 30, 1975, indicating that the fourth property owner
abutting the north property line of subject parcel is in agreement with said
revised plans; and further subject to the applicant's stipulation that he will
attempt to lower the garage walls on the north property line if possible.
Councilman Seymour seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (Councilman Pebley
absent.)
