CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1213: Submitted by Led-
ger T. and Gladys K. Smith, to establish a 222-space travel trailer park
on M-1 zoned property located on the north side of Katella Avenue and on
the west side of Howell Avenue, with waiver of:
a. Minimum required front setback area.
The City Planning Co~nission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC70-
216, denied said conditional use permit.
Appeal from action taken by the City planning Commission was
filed by Ledger T. Smith, Applicant, and public hearing scheduled January
19, 1971, at which time it was continued to this date at the request of
Harry Knisely, Agent for the Applicant.
The City Clerk read correspondence dated January 28, 1971, from
F.I.G. Holding Company in opposition to subject request.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of subject
property, the existing uses and zoning in theirx,ediate area, and briefed
the evidence submitted to and considered by the City Planning Con~tssion,
71-60
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 2, 1971, 1:30 P.M.
noting the surrounding property is presently zoned oz proposed for indus-
trial purposes; that the property northeast across Howell Avenue is proposed
for an industrial subdivision, subject to annexation (Reclassification No.
70-71-28) and the proponents have indicated a desire to acquire property
irmnediately to their west and extend a street from their property to Howell
Avenue.
Mr. Roberts added that subject plans indicate the main entrance
to the proposed travel trailer park would be from Katella Avenue, with an
emergency crash gate the only entrance on Howell Avenue; however, at the
City Planning Commission hearing the Applicant had favored a secondary en-
trance on Howell Avenue. Further, within the Code required 50-foot setback
area, the plans show a 30-foot encroachment on Katella Avenue, and 40-foot
encroachment on Howell Avenue.
He also stated that in 1969 the General Plan was amended to indicate
Commercial-Recreation as the appropriate land use south of Katella Avenue,
retaining Industrial on the north; however, the County had approved a mobile
home park on Douglass Avenue and an R-3 zoning on the south side of Ball Road
over the objection of the Anaheim City Council.
Mr. Roberts further noted that the City Planning Commission had de-
nied subject application on the basis that approval would set an undesirable
precedent for introducing an incompatible use into an area planned and almost
completely developed for industrial uses and that Katella Avenue appears to
be the logical boundary between commercial-recreation and industrial areas.
Mayor Dutton asked if the Applicant or his Agent was present and
wished to address the Council.
Harry Knisely, 1741 South Euclid Street, Agent, referred to approxi-
mately 20 letters that had been filed in support of subject application and,
with the aid of a map posted on the wall, pointed out the locations represen-
ted by those letters, alleging they comprise 90% of the property in the vi-
cinity.
He specifically referenced correspondence from the Wally Byam Cara-
van Club and Adrian Wilson Associates, favoring the application.
Mr. Knisely stated he believed the number one industry in Orange
County is tourism and this provides most of the employment, either directly
or indirectly; thus, the development would be providing a commercial-recrea-
tion use rather than residential.
He requested that subject application be approved as an interim
use to expire in 10 years, to allow the owner a return on his property.
In reply to Council questioning, Mr. Knisely advised the afore-
mentioned letters favoring the application were from industrial tenants,
rather than from owners of the property represented, and that the majority
of the land is developed. Also, that subject property is not under an Agri-
culture Preserve.
Dick VaVerka, 2542 North Pacific Avenue, Santa Aha, Developer,
stated he believed subject property was suited for a cormnercial-recreattonal
use. In reply to Council questioning, Mr. VaVerka advised that the only
permanent resident on the property would be the year-round manager. Also,
with regard to setbacks, he stated he would like to use the natural boundaries
which would provide an approximately 37-foot setback on the railroad bank;
if a 50-foot setback was required at that point, there would be about 10
feet neither visiblenor providims any protection from the roadway. He added
he did not believe a 50-foot setback was necessary on Howell Street, and he
proposed 10 or 20 feet of landscaping, with a 6-foot block wall, and possibly
leaving in some existing orange trees, with other landscaping in between.
71-61
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 2, 1971, 1:30 P.M
Mr. Roberts explained that the setback requirement on Katella Ave-
nue, which is a major highway, would be measured 60 feet from the centerline
of the street (which would be a half-width of the street), plus 50 feet from
that point; since there are additional right-of-way requirements because of
the necessary slope for the underpass on Katella Avenue, an actual setback of
10 or 15 feet from the property boundary line may be all that would be re-
quired at some points, especially near the railroad tracks.
Mr. VaVerka stated that he would be willing to go along with Code
setback requirements, if necessary.
sition.
Mayor Dutton asked if anyone wished to address the Council in oppo-
Merrill Skilling, representing Northrop Corporation and Mutual Bene-
fit Life Insurance Company, from whom they lease property north of Howell Ave-
nue, across from the proposed park, objected to subject application on the
basis that it would degrade the area for industrial use. Mr. Skilling stated
he also was representing the Industrial Division of the Anaheim Chamber of
Co~nerce, and referenced a Resolution of the Chamber of Commerce opposing
subject application.
Replying to Council questioning, Mr. Skilling advised that although
he had not checked into the alleged 20 letters fr°m area tenants favoring the
application, some of whom could be members of the Chamber of Commerce, the
procedure followed with regard to such issues was that the Industrial Com-
mittee, which consists of a cross section of the industrial co~m~unity, re-
views such an issue and draws up a resolution if it is deemed advisable to
take a position; this resolution then goes to the Executive Comznittee for
approval before being submitted to the Board of Directors for a final deci-
sion. Thus it is felt each issue gets a thorough review representing the
wishes of the industrialist in general before a decision is made involving
the Chamber of Commerce. He added that he did not think there would have
been a different decision if the Industrial Committee had known the request
was for a 10-year period only.
Mr. Skilling also stated they realized that the owner could not be
required to carry a large tax burden on property over an extended period;
however, industrialists locate in an area expecting Industrial Zoning to be
retained.
He stated he believed the solution would be to develop all indus-
trial property in the City as quickly as possible, and advised that the Cham-
ber of Cor~nerce is embarking on an active campaign of business development of
all types, including undeveloped industrial property.
Jack Lorensen, of Keystone Mortgage, a partner in the Stadium In-
dustrial Park, read letter in opposition previously submitted by them.
Mayor Dutton invited the Applicant to again address the Council.
Mr. Knisely repeated the request that subject application be gran-
ted for a period of 10 years, since there is an existing need for such ac-
commodations for the tourists.
It was determined sufficient evidence had been presented, and Mayor
Button declared the hearing closed.
Replying to Councilman Pebley's query, Councilman Thom stated he
did not believe adding a travel trailer park near the Disneyland Hotel had
supplied enough facilities to suffice the needs.
Council~an Stepl~on =tared his.observations have been that the
travel trailer park near the DtsaeYl~nd Hotel has not been half-filled at
any time of the year; also; he had no, ed vacancies at ~he travel trailer
park on Harbor Boulevard at Ball Road, during the heavy tourist season last
August°
71-62
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 2, 1971, 1:30
Mr. Roberts advised that no survey has been conducted in recent
years with regard to need for travel trailer parks; however, several such
parks in and around the Dtsneyland area have been approved over the past
two or three years.
RESOLUTION NO. 71R-41: Councilman Stephenson stated he believed granting
subject petition even for a 10-year period would set a precedent and also
would be spot zoning, therefore, he offered Resolution No. 71R-41 for adop-
tion, denying Conditional Use Permit No. 1213.

The City Planning Con~aission, at their meeting held January 1I, 1971,
by Motion, deferred action on Variance No. 2142 and Tentative Tract No. 7137,
Revision No. 1 to February 22, 1971, to allow the City Council to take action
on the Reclassification and for the Petitioner to submit a revised tract map
accordingly, in the e~ent R-1 zoning is approved.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of subject ap-
proximate 90 acres of property, the existing uses and zoning in the immediate
area, and briefed the evidence submitted to and considered' by the City Planning
Commission. He reported that several months ago the City Council indicated
their approval of a request before the County Planning Commission for R-S-5,000
Zoning on this property if the Regional Park proposed for that area did not de-
velop, and in December, 1970, after several delays on zoning applications area
property owners requested the City Council reaffirm its previous decision re-
garding the appropriateness of R-S-5,000 Zoning for approximately 330 acres
in the area. At that time, the City Council advised the property owners to
proceed with pending annexation to the City of Anaheim, primarily on the basis
that the City Council felt the finding of the appropriateness of the County
R-S-5,000 Zoning would be more or less binding upon the City, and the zoning
probably would be appropriate. As a result, the Council directed the Planning
Staff to initiate R-2-5,000 actions on the property.
He further reported that subsequent to the City Council submitting
a letter to the County Planning Commission concerning the appropriateness of
the R-S-5,000 Zoning they directed the Planning Staff to initiate a General
Plan Amendment (No. 122) for a density study, to determine which properties
in the area were appropriate for higher densities. As a result of this study,
the City Planning Co~ission recommended several months ago that both the area
north of the River (between the River and Esperanza Road), and the properties
between the River and the Santa Aha Canyon Road should be retained for Iow-
density development, and thus now recommended subject property be zoned R-1
to conform with General Plan Amendment No. 122.
Mr. Roberts also stated that at the same time subject petition was
considered the City Planning Commission reviewed the Scenic Corridor Overlay
Zone. The Co=~nission reco~nended approval of the basic concept of the Over-
lay Zone, although they requested some changes be made and the study brought
back for final approval.
In reply to Council~n Dutton, Mr. Roberts advised that the City
Plannin§ Co~ission had based their determination to rec0m~nd low density
on subject property on ~he fact tha~ the Gouncil had directed initiation of
General Plan Amen~nt No. 122, on information received on the flood hazard,
and also on the environment felt desirable in the area.
Councilman Thom expressed the opinion that the City Planning Co~nis-
sion decision had reflected the changing attitude of the Hill and Canyon com-
munity, es~ecially in the Scenic Corridor, that low density should be maintained.
Councilman Dutton expressed the opinion that subject property was ap-
propriate for higher density, because of its location between a railroad track
and the River; also that the property north of the River should be considered
71-65
City Hall, Anaheim, California- COUNCIL MINUTES- February 2, 1971, 1:30 P.M.
separately from that south of the River, unless some bridges are planned
from Imperial Highway over the River.
Mr. Roberts expressed the opinion the City Planning Con~nission
had considered the complete area rather than any separate small areas,
and also that the areas both north and south of the River had been con-
sidered in the whole general study.
City Manager Keith Mnrdoch called attention to the Planning
Staff report of August 10, 1970, on the preliminary Santa Ana Canyon Den-
sity Study,where they reco~m~ended the areas around the Riverside Freeway,
Santa Ana River Channel, elevated railway right-of-way, and Imperial High-
way would be suitable for higher density residential development; and also
that that area north of the Freeway be recognized as suitable for higher
densities, while the area south of the Freeway remain low-density resi-
dential.
Councilman Pebley expressed the opinion that, since the Hill
and Canyon property owners were advised that the higher density was con-
sidered appropriate for these specified areas prior to annexation, this
decision should not be changed at this time.
Mr. Murdoch advised that the property owners in the Hill and
Canyon Area were assured, prior to annexation, that the Council's deci-
sion to recommended to the County R-S-5,000 zoning in certain areas was
a serious recommendation. Also, at that time there was a question raised
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding the flood hazard in the Hill
and Canyon Area, and now a letter has been received from the Corps of En-
~gineers stating that the design of the pr~.sent Channel by the Orange County
Flood Control District is sufficient to take care of up to a 100-year
flood, which is the flood level normally used by the City as a develop-
ment criteria.
Councilman Pebley inquired about a previous decision to require
approval of plans and elevations prior to zoning approval.
Mr. Murdoch advised that it would put a developer to consider-
able unnecessary expense to require plans and elevations for zoning that
may or may not be approved.
Councilman Button stated that it has been a Council policy to
grant the nearest~me to that previously granted by the County when pro-
perty was annexed to t~e City.
In reply to Councilman Stephenson, Mr. Roberts advised that the
majority of subject property is relatively flat, and thus there would be
no substantial areas devoted to slope with the exception of Fairmont Bou-
levard, which is designed to bisect the property and will have slopes,
however, none of Fairmont Boulevard slope area would be a part of any of
the proposed lots.
Mr. Murdoch advised that one of the owners of subject property
had expressed a desire for a planned-residential development, which could
incorporate to a much more satisfactory degree the concept of the Scenic
Corridor and its applications, rather than an R-2-5,000 development. He
further advised that the planned-residential development approach might
be a more acceptabter~olution.
Mr. Ymrdoch further advised that the Planning Staff had concurred
that a planned-reside~tial development would be the best solution; however,
he added, the owners first need an indication that they can obtain a den-
sity of ~FProximatelyR-2-5,000.
In reply to Councilman Pebley's suggestion that subject appli-
cation be continued so that plans for a planned-residential development
could be submitted, Hr. F~rdoch reminded the Council that an indication
that a higher density than R-1 would be approved would be necessary before
such plans could be required.
71-66
CitM Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 2, !971, 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Stephenson asked for information on the proposed homes,
and specifically asked if the developer was considering 4 bedrooms in a mini-
mum 1,225-square foot home.
Mayor Dutton asked if the Applicant or his Agent was present and
wished to address the Council.
Gil Kraemer, Placentia, representing the Applicants, advised that
he would like to defer answering Councilman Stephenson's question on home
sizes until a later time, since the request before the Council at this time
was for R-2-5,000 Zoning. He reviewed the history of subject property and,
with the aid of a map on the wall of the Council Chambers, pointed out the
proposed development and accessways east of Imperial Highway, in an effort
to show that an R-2-5,000, single-family development would not be in oppo-
sition to what currently is developing in the area.
In reply to Councilman Pebley, Mr. Roberts advised that the condi-
tions listed in City Planning Commission Resolution No. PC71-2 would apply
if R-2-5,000 Zoning was granted, as well as R-1.
Mr. Kraemer referred to conditions listed in Planning Commission
Resolution No. PC71-2, and stated that, in his opinion, Condition No. 2 would
impose undue hardships on a developer.
Mr. Murdoch explained that requiring that a final tract map be ap-
proved by the City Council and recorded by the County is a normal prerequi-
site of the City of Anaheim in every zoning action involving a subdivision.
With regard to Condition No. 5, subparagraph 1), of Resolution No.
PC71-2, Mr. Kraemer stated they would agree to submitting building plans
prior to issuance of the building permit, but they did not feel it was logi-
cal to submit these plans prior to the final zoning.
Mr. Murdoch advised this condition was intended to adapt the Scen-
ic Corridor Overlay Zone to subject property.
Referring to Condition No. 5, subparagraph 2, regarding setback
requirements, Mr. Kraemer felt the 40 and 50-foot required setbacks were too
severe. He also stated he believed the requirements as set forth in Condi-
tion No. 7, regarding plantings, were excessive, since this could amount to
as much as $15,000.00 an acre in some locations where there are slopes.
Mr. Murdoch advised that the detailed conditions recorm~ended by
the City Planning Commission were designed to adapt property to the Scenic
Corridor Overlay Zone; however, since the Scenic Corridor Plan is not yet
ready for Council consideration, and several changes still could be made,
it was possible some of the conditions as set forth in City Planning Commis-
sion Resolution No. PC71-2 would not meet the final requirements of this
zone. He referenced several changes that already had been made in the
Scenic Corridor Study as a result of recent work sessions with the City
Planning Commission.
Mayor Dutton asked if anyone wished to address the Council in op-
position.
Mrs. Ken Burnap, representing the League of Women Voters of Anaheim-
Garden Grove, and also the Orange C~unty Chapter, urged the City Council to
take a stewardship role in preserving the Santa Aha Canyon as a unique rec-
reational and aesthetic asset for Orange County, and advised that the State
Administrators of the Department of Interiors, Land and Water Conservation
Fund still are interested in funding the acquisition of the proposed regional
"Yorba Park." She suggested that subject property be considered in the con-
text of the pending Scenic Corridor Plan; that since the Yorba Park still
is a possibility, irreversible changes in the natural resources of Santa
Ana Canyon and River should not be allowed to take place.
71-67
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 2, 1971, 1:30 P.M.
Mrs. Burnap advised that Orange County recently had adopted a
Flood Plain Insurance program, obligating the County to be cautious in
permitting development in flood plains, and asked if the City of Anaheim
had considered such an insurance program.
The City Manager stated he was unfamiliar with the type of in-
surance referred to.
Albert Yorba, owner of property adjacent to subject property,
stated that in obtaining Multiple-Dwelling Zoning from the County for part
of his property he was advised he could build as high as 18 units per acre
on one side of Imperial Highway, and 12 units per acre on the other side.
Mr. Yorba noted uses presently approved in the area by the County north
to Orangethorpe Avenue, including mobile home parks and multiple-family
zoning, and felt the R-2-5,000 zone should be approved for subject pro-
perty and his property.
It was determined sufficient evidence had been presented, and
Mayor Dutton declared the hearing closed.
Councilman Roth, being newly appointed to the City Council, sta-
ted he had not seen any information on the proposed Scenic Corridor Over-
lay Zone, and was not familiar with the background of subject application.
Also, since no stand had as yet been taken by the City Council on the Scenic
Corridor he could not give a proper judgment and vote at this time.
RESOLUTION: Councilman Thom reiterated his belief that community standards
in the Hill and Canyon Area were changing and residents now desire lower
densities, whereupon he offered a Resolution for adoption, denying R-2-
5,000 zoning for Reclassification No. 69-70-25 and granting R-1 zoning,
as recommended by the City Planning Commission.
The foregoing Resolution received the following Roll Call Vote:

of additional property at Sage Park was continued from the meeting of January
26, 1971, to determine if necessary funds for this acquisition could be ob-
tained by a Budget transfer.
City Manager Keith Murdoch advised that a review of the Parks and
Recreation 1970-71 Budget had disclosed four budgeted items totaling $11,500.
that it was felt could be delayed without considerable adverse effect, and
thus it was his recommendation, and that of the Parks and Recreation Direc-
tor, that $11,500.00 be transferred for the acquisition of the additional
property adjacent to Sage Park, and that the balance of approximately $7,000.
needed to complete the purchase, after receipt of $5,000.00 offered as a do-

COM~fNI~ CONFERENCE - VIO,L~NGE AND VANDALISM: Correspondence dated January
14, 1971, from James D. Brier, Superintendent and Secretary to the Ana-
heim City School District Board of Education, was submitted requesting
the City Council to call a "Community Conference" regarding growing
violence and vandalism in the con~nunity.
Parks and Recreation Director John Collier reported that a
December 1, 1969 to December 1, 1970 study revealed vandalism in the
City Parks and other City facilities and the four School Districts
caused out-of-pocket expenses of $55,000.00 during that period; total
expenses incurred,including such things as Police investigation, etc.,
amounted to about $110,000.00. He advised that in discussion with Larry
Sierk, of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, it was suggested a Steering
Committee be formed, including representation from industry and the
Police Department, to discuss the possibilities of such a conference.
It was felt such a Steering Co~ttee should include Mr. Sierk, James
Brier, Police Chief Michel, himself, and perhaps two or three other
people.
In reply to Councilman Dutton, Mr. COllier and City Attorney
Joseph Geisler advised that parents have been held responsible for acts
of vandalism by their children in City Parks where it has been possible
to identify the vandal.
Mr. Murdoch advised that there has been some success from a
program of contacting the Principal of a school near a City Park where
there has been vandalism and arranging an assembly to discuss the subject
with the pupils.
By general Council consent, the City Clerk was directed to re-
move from the Council Agenda the subject of the Community Conference on
Violence and Vandalism in the community, to be rescheduled at such time
as reports and recommendations are received from the Parks and Recreation
Director.

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE LICENSE - ~3NICIPAL GOLF COURSE: The City Attorney reported
that on December 15, ~ the City Council gave permission to R & R Cater-
ing to apply for an AI66Rolic Beverage License for the Anaheim Municipal
Golf Course; however, it is now necessary for the City of Anaheim, being
owners of the property, to request the license be issued and to set forth
reasons why the issuance would be in the public interest.
On motion by Councilman Roth, seconded by Councilman Stephenson,
the City Clerk was directed to forward to the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board a request that an Alcoholic Beverage License be issued for the Ana-
heim Municipal Golf Course, listing the following findings as reasons
therefor, as recomended by the City Attorney:
1. Service of alcoholic beverages in conjunction with food at
the Anaheim Municipal Golf Course is traditional and is desired by many
golfers.
2. Ail public and private golf courses in the general area serve
alcoholic beverages, and,in order to afford the level of service of the area
at the Anaheim Municipal Golf Course, the service of alcoholic beverages is
needed.
3. Anaheim is the tourist center of Southern California, and many
tourists play golf at Anaheim Municipal Golf Course and expect to receive
the service of alcoholic beverages there the same as they receive at other
California golf courses, and to provide such service at the Golf Course is
in the best public interest.

The Mayor declared Resolution No. 71R-51 duly passed and adopted.
ENVIRONMENTAL ENHANCEMENT PROJECT - ORANGE COUNTY WATER DISTRICT: The City Mana-
ger reported a proposal had been made by the Orange County Water District
that Anaheim enter into their program of utilizing for recreation purposes
Orange County Water District properties presently used either for replenish-
ment of the basin or in some other part of their water replenishment program.
Parks and Recreation Director John Collier, with the aid of a sche-
matic drawing, outlined the area recommended by Orange County Water District
for such a joint recreational facility as that bounded approximately by Lin-
coln Avenue, Orange City Limits, Burris Sand Pit, and the 9-acre, Anaheim
City-owned property south of Lincoln Avenue.(Map labeled "Orange County Water
District, Initial Development Plan - Reach No. 3. (Initial Development from
Lincoln Avenue to Carbon Creek,) Environmental Enhancement Project - Santa
Aha River.")
Mr. Collier advised that the Orange County Water District has em-
ployed a firm owned by Harvey Banks, former head of the State Department of
Natural Resources, to study all property owned by the Water District, to

..City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 2, 1971, 1:30 P.M.
determine if such property could be utilized for recreational purposes as
well as spreading purposes, and the proposed project is one result of this
study.
Mr. Collier advised that the Orange County Water District sets
aside for such projects 10% of gross revenues received from the sale of
gravel from their pits, and also from the joint operation of Anaheim Lake
with the City of Anaheim, and they presently have a total of $50,000.00 in
this fund. Their proposal is to use this $50,000.00 for the major capital
expenditures for such a project, beginning work on it as soon as possible,
Anaheim to assume the cost of maintenance thereafter.
He added that the Orange County Water District hoped to eventually
initiate the same type of project on their properties all along the Santa
Ana River in conjunction with the various corm~unities involved.
He depicted the project as having an approximate 30-acre lake; a
berm separating the Flood Channel from the River bed, and creating a green
belt visible from the Anaheim side; bicycle and hiking trail on the north
side; with a possible swimming, boating and beach area at the east end of
the lake which would be the responsibility of the City of Anaheim; a horse
trail on the south side would be the responsibility of the City of Orange.
The lake would be approximately 6-feet deep, except for diving
areas, and the water would come from the Diemer Plant, if the lake was used
for swimming; if not used for swimming, the water would come from the Metro-
politan Water District.
Access and parking could be provided on the 9-acre former dump
site, via a tunnel beneath Lincoln Avenue.
Mr. Collier advised that if such an agreement were entered into
with the Orange County Water District, he would recommend it be similar to
the Anaheim Lake Agreement, wherein Anaheim would assume responsibility and
liability for operation and maintenance of the facility, and Orange County
Water District would provide the capital for development and also do much
of the development work themselves.
He also proposed there be fees charged for swimming, parking and
paddle boats on a concession basis, as at Anaheim Lake.
Netl Cline, Assistant Director of Orange County Water District,
advised that if Anaheim chose not to enter into such an agreement with Orange
County Water District, the Water District still would provide planting of
some kind to make the area more attractive. Also Orange County Water Dist-
rict would continue to set aside 10% of the gross revenues from the sale
of sand and gravel and put this money back into the River Project in some
way.
In reply to Councilman Dutton, Mr. Cline advised that, depending
on the operation, the proposed lake in this project would have to be closed
to the public approximately one month a year to allow for drainage and clean-
up.
Mr. Murdoch advised that two points would have to be cleared up
before such an agreement could be executed:
1. The area immediately on the south side of Lincoln Avenue,
which was indicated as a parking area for the project, is partially owned
by the City of Placentia. An agreement would have to be effected with Pla-
centia for that purpose.
2. It would have to be determined if the Orange County Water Dis-
trict would continue to take responsibility for removing silt from the bottom
of the Channel.
Mr. Cline answered that the Orange County Water District would con-
tinue to spread water in the Flood Channel and would physically remove silt.

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 2, 1971, 1:30 P.M.
In reply to Councilman Roth, Mr. Cline advised that the project
would be begun with the $50,000.00 available at this time, and would be com-
pleted in stages, as funds became available from the 10% of gross revenues
set aside for the project. He also advised that although there still are
problems with the Burris Sand Pit, a lawsuit now is in progress, and with
the new River Improvement Plan to separate the River from the Flood Channel,
the potential flood hazard no longer is prevalent at that point. He further
advised that the Burris Pit would not delay the proposed project in any way.
By general consent, the City Council agreed the proposal should be
further explored; that maintenance and operation costs, costs of the parking
area and also possible revenues be projected and that a form of agreement of
contract between the two agencies be drawn for further consideration.
