REP(~T - FII~IAL DEMAlqDS AGAINST TH~ CITY: Demands against the City in the amount of $1,182,802.62, in accordance with the 1973'74 Budget, were approved. DEVELOPmeNT PLA~ NO. 114: Public hearing was held June 11, 1974 to consider an Area Development Plan to provide circulation and access for an area bounded by the northerly extension of Grove Street to the west, Miraloma Avenue to the north, Tustin Avenue to the northeast, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad right-of-way on the southeast, and La Palms Avenue on the south. At that time the hearing was closed and the decision continued to June 18, 1974, and again to this date to allow investigation by the Engineering Division, the Development Services Department and the City Attorney's Office to determine the City's re- corded drainage and road easement rights. The City Planning Commission, pursuant to their Resolution No. PC74-97, recommended the adoption of the Area Development Plan No. 114, Exhibit "C", as modified to reflect a 17- foot right-of-way on either side of the existing 30 feet of right-of-way for portion "B" of the proposed street. Using 3 exhibits marked A, B and C, posted on the east wall of the Council Chamber, Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts reported that after the June 18 Council Meeting he met with the City Engineer and Mr. Sam Hurwitz, owner of Parcel B, and discussed the various aspects relating to the plan, the recommendations made by the Staff to the City Council relative to City participa- tion in the improvement of Portion B of the streets shown on the Area Development Plan, and how these recommendations would affect Mr. Hurwitz and Mr. Dan Webb, owner of Parcel A. At that time, Mr. Hurwitz was reluctant to compromise the position he has taken thus far. 74=671 City Ha~l, A~ahetm, California - COUNCIL MIBTJTES - July 2. 1974. 1:30 P.M. After said meeting, Mr. Roberts further reported that the City Engineer and Mr. William Lewis, Street and Sanitation Superintendent, again met with Mr. Hurwitz on his property (Parcel B), at which time he indicated a desire to have a survey of the property made to determine exactly where storm drains were located° Mr. Roberts pointed out that in the opinion of the City Attorney, the existing road easement, or rights to use the 30-foot strip for road purposes, would also include rights for drainage purposes. However, he advised that it now appears the existing dedicated right of way may be 50 feet wide rather than 30 feet, that the records date back into the last century, making it nearly im- possible to make a final determination. In conclusion, Mr. Roberts advised that the City Attorney has been unable to contact Mr. Hurwitz, who is not present today. However, the Staff recommends that the City Council approve the basic philosophy of the Area Development Plan in concept, Exhibit "~', without the preciseness shown on Exhibit "C", determining that there is a need for this street to connect Miraloma and La Palma Avenues. The details of precise alignment, dedication and street improvements would be worked out at a later date. He pointed out that property to the south is already under development, with improvements to the south side of the strip constructed; /ED Development Company is anxious to commence development of property immediately to the west of Parcel B, having been delayed pending action of subject Area Development Plan, and that Mr. Hurwitz has no immediate plans for his property. In addition, the Staff felt it proper in this case to reco~m~end to the Council that the City install or pay for the street improvements in exchange for necessary dedication of right-o~way, which would be a compromise of past'City policy in Mr. Hurwitz's favor. City Engineer James Maddox advised that First American Title In- surance Company have been asked to review the matter, and he read from their letter stating that the south line of lot 43, Mr° Hurwitz's property, is the north line of a road easement, as shown on a record of survey, recorded in the Office of the Orange County Recorder; therefore, Mr. Hurwitz should have no interest in the existing road easement. He recommended that the Area Development Plan be adopted. In answer to question of Councilman SeYmour, City Attorney Alan Watts clarified the report from the Title Company,. advising that the point is the existing roadway easement south of lot 43 and is not on Mr. Hurwitz's property. With regard to the discrepancy in street widths, Mayor Thom asked if a problem would result if the Council adopted Exhibit "C", which illus- trates a 30-foot right-of-way. Mr. Watts recommended the adoption of Exhibit "N' which indicates only a 64-foot right-o~way in the area without precise alignment. ~SOLUTION NO. 74R-314: Councilman SeYmour offered Resolution No. 74R-314 for adoption, adopting Area Development Plan No. 114, Exhibit "A" as recom- mended by the Development Services Department, City Engineer and City Attorney.

TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 8533: R. H. Grant Corporation, Developer; property located on the north side of Nohl Ranch Road and on the west side of Imperial Highway, and contains 41 proposed R-H 10,000 Zoned lots (Reclassification No. 73-74-56). REOUEST: Submitted by Donald H. Frederickson, Director of Engineering, Grant Company of California, requesting an exception to Section 17.06.110(b) as it relates to Tentative Tract No. 8533. Pursuant to request dated June 21, 1974, from Mr. Fred~rickson of Grant Company of California, Council consideration of the Tentative Tract Map and request was continued to July 30, 1974 to allow further study of the alignment of Imperial Highway, on motion by Councilman Sneegas, seconded by Councilman Seymour. MOTION CARRIED. Councilwoman Kaywood advised that she had not yet received the soil compaction report on Tract No. 8672 (Reclassification No. 73-74-56) - (6/18 minutes, page 74-615). WEEDABATEI~f O~JECTIONS: At their regular meeting held May 28, 1974, the City Council considered objections to weed abatement notices for removal of noxious growth on slope banks in the Westridge Tract of Anaheim Hills. At that time, after hearing objections by property owners and reports from the City Planning Staff, Fire Inspector and representatives from Anaheim Hills, the City Council continued the matter to this date to allow time for the developer to receive individual analyses of problems on particular lots by the homeowners involved, and for the Development Services Department to make a field inspection to determine whether or not there is any possibility of determining if the site development standards were met. Planning Supervisor Don McDaniel briefed report from the Development Services Department Planning Division, dated July 2, 1974, advising that it was difficult at this point to determine, on the basis of the field inspection, whether or not the site development standards were met; however, on the basis of Code requirements as synopsized in the report, and procedures followed by the Development Services Department in reviewing the plans and inspecting the slopes as they were planted, the Staff has concluded that the existing land- scaped slopes in the Westridge subdivision of Anaheim Hills have been installed in accordance with. the Hillside Grading Ordinance. 74-673 Anaheim. California- COUNCIL MINUTES- July 2. 1974. 1:30 P.M. Also set.out in the report was an outline of progress in proposed revisions to the Hillside Grading Ordinance, to prevent the recurrence of this situation, and projected for presentation to the Council 3uly 16, 1974. Mayor Thom asked if there were any questions from the City Council, there being no response, asked if Mr. Allen had any further comments to make. Mr. Tony Allen, President of Grant Company of California, advised that the company has been working closely with the homeowners association and has instituted a great deal of work to the slopes including replanting spots where nothing has grown, particularly along Nohl Ranch Road; and they have asked the homeowners association to help in obtaining the cooperation of the people in these areas to water and properly maintain the slopes after replanting ~e response has been good, and he was' of the opinion that the problem will be solved. Mr. Ray Talmadge, 425 Westridge Circle, addressed the Council repre- senting Westridge Homeowners Association, advising of the cooperation from the Grant Corporation in this matter, and stated they have'come to a good agreement regarding an overall better appearance as well as good erosion control. The only problem in getting the Homeowners Association to undertake maintenance of the slopes would be the necessity of rewriting the CovenantS, Conditions and Restrictions filed on the properties, which would require a 75% positive vote, extremely difficult to obtain. Mr. Talmadge suggested that in planning amendments to the ordinance, the type of materials to be used in these hillside, areas be those with which pre-emergent weed control can be used; this is not possible with most hydro- mulching or hydroseeding materials, as future growth is dependent upon reseeding. Fire Marshall Bob Phillips reported that as of June 28, the Westridge embankment had been devoided of weeds, as had the Grant property; the only remaining section to be abated being the remote back areas of 525, 529, 533 and 537 Tumbleweed Road, this being the area which was not included in the original weed abatement citations. In response to question of Councilman Seymour regarding clover planted on these slopes, Mr. McDaniel explained that clover is not intended to be a permanent grass but is an annual and included in the planting mix for the purpose of stabilizing the slopes during the winter months until the other ground covers take over. Marshall Phillips further noted that the only concern of the Fire Department would be dry weeds, and if a fire originates in the area, they are concerned about possible loss of property. Councilman Seymour felt it was co~m~endable that the Grant Corpora- tion and Mr. Allen had taken steps to correct the situation, and it appears most of the problems have been worked out in the past month and that the remaining problems will be resolved. Mayor Thom concurred. On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilwoman Ka~wood, the City Council found that the weed abatement problem has been abated, and there- upon sustained the objections by property owners to the weed abatement notices. ~0TION CARRIED. A~JSE~f DEVICES PERMIT: .Application filed by Robert Go Burglin for amusement devices permit to allow installation of three television games at Bob's Linbrook Car Wash., 2219 West Lincoln Avenue, was submitted. On the recommendations of the Chief of Police, Councilman Thom moved that said permit be granted subject to the provisions of Chapter 3°24 and 4.20 of the Anaheim Municipal Code.

LITIGATI0~- JOH~W~?REN VS, C~Y OF ANAHEIM: The City Attorney reported on the status of litigationwith John Wehren, former municipal employee (jailer), originating several years ago when the Workmen's Compensation Appeals Board made a finding of 37% permanent disability as result of a heart attack suffered by Mr. Wehren. The City terminated the employee thereafter, as a protection both to the City and to Mr. Wehren, since it was determined that the disability rating was work incurred. The employee filed action against the City, which was successful in Trial Court; however the City appealed and the Court of Appeals reversed the decision, based on the fact that the employee did not exhaust certain admini- strative remedies. The matter has been sent back to Trial Court. LITIGATION- OPPOSITION TO FAIR TA~_ STANDARDS ACT A~MENT OF 1974: The City Attorney reported on request from the League of California Cities for $500.00 from cities of 100,000 or more population, to help build a $15,000 fund to be used in proposed legal action against the Federal Government to determine w%ether the Fair Labor Standards Act Amendment of 1974 is constitutional. The fund would be used to reflect participating cities on an Amicus Curiae basis in connection with the proposed action, which would be on the national level. Mr. Watts explained how the amendment affects Fire Department safety employees, and recommended approval of participation by Anaheim. The City Manager noted the importance of said proposed litigation to the City and to all local jurisdictions and reported that the State of California may also file suit, inwhich case the City would participate. He felt there was a reasonable possibility that the point taken by the League of California Cities and the National League of Cities may'prevail. By consent, the City Council determined that the request for participa- tion in the proposed litigation be taken under consideration, with action to be taken at a later date° PU~C}~E OF EOUIP~NT - STEEL SHEDS: The City Manager reported on bids received for the purchase of four steel equipment sheds, as follows, and recommended acceptance of the low bid, that of Besteel Company, in the amount of $3,710.00, including tax: Vendor Total Pressel Brothers, Anaheim ........... $4,218.80 Besteel Co., City of Industry ......... 3,710.00 In answer to Council questioning, Mr. Murdoch reported that specifications were for 18 gauge steel sheds.

Corey research for services with respect to design and completion of a fact-finding study, was continued from the meeting of June 25, 1974. Mr. Hoyt advised that the award of contract would be the first step in an attempt to gain understanding of customer wishes and opinions relative to the Utilities Department operations and service. Reference was made to the sample questions and answers, and Mayor Thom noted that out of 17 questions, 8 actually deal with testing towards participation in generation of electricity by the City. Mr. Hoyt pointed out that the sample questions are typical, but not necessarily the ones which will be used in the final poll. The general thrust will be to determine the customers' opinions of the Utilities Depart- ment and how it might be improved, how those opinions were formulate~, and how they can be changed, if necessary, so as to best serve the customers. Councilman Seymour indicated he was in favor of the study, if the intent is to specifically attack the generation question. Councilwoman Kaywood advised she would like to see the final questions prior to the time the poll is initiated.

The reason for this, he stated, was that the Staff had not taken into account some of the items of concern, such as very narrow streets in the area, and a substantial difference in the amount of repavings to be done. Most of the additional costs will be defrayed by the increase in fees to the property owners in the area who require water service. It was further reported by Mr. Auerhach that stockholders in the Walnut Canyon Mutual Water Company, and the Homeowner's Association have been given revised estimates, and they indicated support for the City to go ahead with the project, even though the costs are somewhat high.
