"Nudity, etc. Editor: So: you defend naked dancing in bars
with the sacred term, 'free enterprise'?

How about the freely enterprising purveyors of heroin and
the like? You would say, 'if you don't like it, don't buy
it,' or else, 'get your friends together and boycott the smug-
glers and The Bulletin will uphold your right to boycott.' Yes,
that ought to fix them: Erma L. Raeburn, Anaheim
Editor's note: We do not defend naked dancing in bars; we
argue for the right to present even vulgarity in a private
establishment, the clientele of which might not be offended.
As for heroin, we do support a free market therein, thus to
eliminate the profit from violence connected with heroin trade.
Should an addict get violent under heroin's influence, he
should be arrested for violent behavior. Mrs. Raeburd, how-
ever wry she intends her phrase, is right: If she doesn't like
heroin, as is proper, she does not have to buy it. Politicians
play on precisely those fears Mrs. Raeburn envinces, and there-
by perpetuate a heroin traffic problem."
2. Correspondence dated September 28, 1972, addressed to Mr. C. H.
Hoiles, Publisher, Freedom Newspapers Inc., from Mayor Dutton:
"Dear Mr. C. H. Hoiles:
I find it hard to believe that the enclosed response to a letter
to the Editor of the Anaheim Bulletin can represent the policy
and philosophy of your company.
The statement of your Editor, in my opinion, exceeds the bounds
of healthy political discussion and enters the threshold of
dangerous lunacy.
If this item does indeed represent your official position, I
would much appreciate an explanation in greater detail.
Thank you for your indulgence.
encl.
Must sincerely yours,
/s/ Jack C. Dutton
Mayor"
3. Response received from Mr. C. H. Hoiles, Chairman of the
Board, on Freedom Newspapers Inc. letterhead, dated October 2, 1972.
"Dear Mr. Dutton:
The most succinct answer I can give to your question in your
letter of September 28 is that people can handle their own
affairs exceedingly better than politicians can tell them what
to do.
Sincerely yours,
FREEDOM NEWSPAPERS, INC.

Councilman Thom stated that he agreed primarily with almost
everything Mayor Dutton said, and almost everything the resolution purports,
because he did endorse the intent of Proposition 18. He advised that he was
as anti- pornography and anti-obscenity as anyone present and has so demon-
strated this fact by actively participating in various drives against it.
However, he could not endorse what seems to be a bad piece of legislation
when even its constitutionality is questionable, and which could create even
greater problems for law enforcement.
Councilman Thom noted that unfortunately we have never been.able
to properly legislate public morals. He stated as a public'official represen-
ting all the people he must recognize that the citizenry is split on this
issue and as a councilman he would not make a public endorsemdht although he
knew how he would vote privately.

City Hall. Anaheim. California COUNCIL MINUTES October 24. 1972. 1:30 P.M.
Commissioner Rowland advised that the Planning Commission has been
acting on a policy of not more than 12 condominiums or townhouses per gross
acre. They have found that condominium type living requires more open space
and slightly more parking (2.5 parking spaces per unit), and have made these
requirements conditions of approval for condominium developments. Under R -3
development standards, only 1.5 parking spaces per unit is required which
generates less open space. Commissioner Rowland stated that site development
standards for condominium development, broad enough in scope to encourage
independent creative development of land by responsible creative developers,
is a goal of the Planning Commission, noting importance of adequate parking
requirements in a residential area.
Commissioner Gauer was of the opinion that the City should set high
standards for developments in order to enhance the environment of the City4,it
is uniqueness of development which attracts people.
Commissioner Seymour summarized from the discussion that it is
Council's desire to have the Planning Commission draft proposed condominium
site development standards for Council consideration.
Commissioner Seymour stated that the Planning Commission bases their
decisions and recommendationson aesthethics and environment, rather than on
economics, and this approach has been used in respect to undergrounding elec-
trical utilities. It is the belief of the Planning Commission that when street
widening projects occur, necessitating removal and relocation of poles, that
these lines go underground. He advised that in the hill and canyon area, it
is more than just a request for undergrounding, more than just an aesthetical
or environmental wish, private enterprise with its desires and objectives in
meeting the market place, want underground utilities.
Mayor Dutton clarified for those in attendance that all new sub-
division developments are required to install underground utilities with the
exception of the backbone feeder line (12KV) which is the matter under discussion
now. He pointed out that Council is awaiting an absolute cost report to under-
ground all facilities in the City, and that it has been estimated that such 'a
project would cost twice as much as the value of the City's electrical system.
The Mayor explained that other cities in Orange County have installed portions
of their electrical utility system underground at the expense of the Edison
Company. Since Anaheim owns and operates its own electrical utility system,
the expense of undergrounding would be borne by the taxpayers of Anaheim.
The City Council has taken a position that no authorization will be given
until the total cost is known and also where the money will come from for the
underground installation or conversion.
Commissioner Gauer questioned whether or not Anaheim realized a
profit on their utilities to which Mayor Dutton replied that the profits
realized were deposited in the general fund in order to retain the City's low
tax rate of $1.05.
Commissioner Rowland expressed a desire to have input from the broad
segment of the community, from industrialists in our area and the Industrial
Committee of the Chamber of Commerce in order to obtain their views on under
grounding.
Mayor Dutton cited an instance where everyone agreed the overhead
lines in the area of Katella Avenue and Harbor Boulevard should go underground,
with a total cost of six million dollars. The City contacted the property
owners in the ale rto advise them of their proportionate share and not one
wanted to pay their share.
Commissioner Kaywood stated that the Vice President of Southern
California Edison Company quoted a 20% cost increase over the conventional
overhead line installation for new developments. She reported that last year
the Edison Company spent. 53 million dollars, or 17% of their construction
budget for environment and aesthetics. Commissioner Kaywood stated that she
and others worked very hard on the January 18, 1972 electrical revenue bond
election because they were under the impression that undergrounding would be
accomplished if the bond issue passed, and if they had known there would be
no undergrounding, it would have been a different situation. If the City is
not going for a conversion plan, then they should commence initial under
grounding of all new areas of development.

Commissioner Farano questioned the City Attorney as to the method
of levying an assessment against the property.
City Attorney Geisler advised that assessment districts are
generally set for anywhere from a 10 to 20 year period, or it can be funded
by the City thru a continuing fund. However in addition to conversion to
underground all the homes served must also be converted at a cost of from
$400.00 to $800.00 per house. Practically no houses have been so converted
in Southern California.
Commissioner Farano stated he agreed with Commissioner Rowland in
wanting to get input from the citizens of Anaheim, but achieving this goal
is very difficult. If people want undergrounding and are willing to pay for
it, then the City should proceed with a conversion plan, if not it should be
forgotten.
Commissioner Herbst related that according to Pacific Gas and
Electric Company, 12KV installation is as cheap as installing overhead lines
in the long run when you consider amenities such as tree trimming and main-
tenance. He was of the opinion that all new development should underground
electrical utilities and perhaps the City could set aside a portion of each
year's budget for future street widening projects which require relocation
of electrical poles.
Councilman Sneegas voiced the opinion that there is too much con-
fusion as to what people are talking about when they say undergrounding and
the cost thereof. When we are talking about undergrounding now, we are talking
about the backbone feeder lines, not the intract facilities which are under-
ground already. Councilman sneegas advised he was informed that in the hill
and canyon area alone, there is a seven million dollar difference between under
grounding and overhead installation of the 12KV lines. He further strongly
expressed his position that he would not commit the citizens of Anaheim to 30
or 40 million dollars for partial undergrounding or two hundred million for
the complete undergrounding unless it was their desire and they were willing
to pay for it.
Councilman Thom agreed that the Council would not commit the citizens
to such an obligation without their approval. He expressed his agreement with
the Planning Commission however in their recommendation that an electrical
undergrounding be required in the hill and canyon area where the cost is very
little more than overhead.
It was the general feeling of the City Council and the Planning
Commission that there was too much confusion and misinformation as to cost
of undergrounding electrical utilities. Mayor Dutton requested that the
Planning Commission obtain precise facts and figures and submit them to
Council for their consideration.
Mayor Dutton asked if anyone in the audience wished to make a
statement or ask a question.
Nick Carducci, 4240 East La Palma Avenue, questioned the Council as
to what their thinking was in allowing a miniature golf course to be constructed
in the northeast industrial area and how they planned to protect the integrity
of the area as an industrial area. He was of the opinion that the Council and
Planning Commission have the duty to protect the people who made investments in
that industrial area.
Mayor Dutton replied that the miniature golf course is an interim
use and would enhance the appearance of the area along the Riverside Freeway.
He stated that the City of Anaheim protects all of its zones; that people have
the right to ask for any variance from code requirements; and that people are
entitled to the maximum economic use of their property conditioned upon two
factors; does it hurt their neighbor and does it hurt the City of Anaheim?
Bill Messe, 1523 South Bayless, cited a recently approved development
at Walnut and Cerritos Streets and asked if any recommendations to be made by
the City Planning Commission or the subjects discussed at this meeting would
apply to this development.

City Hall. Anaheim. California COUNCIL MINUTES October 24. 1972. 1 :30 P.M.
Commissioner Seymour explained that as structured now, our sign
ordinance classifies an oil company (service station) lighter box as a sign.
Thus, it has been necessary for oil companies to make application for a
variance for lighter boxes for each station. Because of strict interpretation
of our sign ordinance, which the Planning Commission must uphold, the action
of the Planning Commission must be to deny these applications.
Mayor Dutton acknowledged the fact that because of the sign ordinance,
which was adopted by the City Council, the Planning Commission had no alterna-
tive but to uphold it.
Commissioner Seymour voiced the sentiments of the Planning Commission
relative to the number of signs service stations require. They feel competi-
tion has forced service stations to create more and more signs, advertising
and /or directing patrons, which leaves the patron frustrated and confused. It
is the desire of the. Planning Commission, if it is consistent with Council
philosophy, to draft a proposed ordinance that will give the oil companies
some direction in perhaps consolidating the number of signs on service station
sites and still enable them to convey their message and compete in the market
place.
Mayor Dutton stated it has been determined by the Council that
lighter boxes with a logo are permissible, although the ordinance has not yet
been changed to reflect this intention. He suggested that the Planning Com-
mission take an overall look at the entire sign ordinance, pointing out it is
the feeling of the Council that a man has the right to advertise his own
business. The ordinance should not be too restrictive.
Commissioner Herbst voiced the opinion that glaring, repetitious
signing on a service station site is not needed by the public nor in good
taste and related an example of a Standard Oil station on which 16 signs are
located.
Mayor Dutton noted that to have signing from all directions of
approach there would necessarily be some repetition.
Councilman Stephenson noted that with today's concept in gasoline
sales, in order to operate in an efficient manner it is a "must" to have a
sign designating the self- service island, full service island, and pricing.
In a recent trip to the midwest, Councilman Stephenson stated he noticed that
most Standard stations had lighter boxes with the logo on it.
Commissioner Rowland questioned Councilman Stephenson about signing
of petroleum products with unrelated items such as panty hose, fried chicken,
ice cream, etc., to which Councilman Stephenson indicated he had not encountered
this type of signing. Commissioner Rowland was of the opinion that sale of
unrelated items to merchandise gasoline was imminent here in California as the
trend was now circulating in the southwest, noting three recent applications
before the Planning Commission wherein the sale of food products along with
gasoline sales was requested.
Mayor Dutton stated whenever signing was required for a national identi-
fication, whether it conformed to our sign ordinance or not, it has been approved
by the Council.
With reference to directions from the Council to the Planning Commission
regarding sale of unrelated items with the gasoline operation, Councilman Sneegas
pointed out two recent applications were denied by the City Council, one at East
and Santa Ana Streets, the other at Lincoln and Magnolia Avenues. He also
reminded the Commission of the service station ordinance which perhaps limits
the activity of a service station.
City Attorney Joseph Geisler explained that the Code does limit the
peripheral activities; that they must be in conjunction with sale of gasoline.
Commissioner Herbst expressed the concern that the service station
industry was being allowed a privilege not afforded any other industries
by allowing them more than the standard number of free standing signs. He
T
72 -694
City Hall. Anaheim. California COUNCIL MINIMS October 24. 1972. 1:30 P.M.
stated that service stations receive additional signing over other industries
by the design of their buildings, such as canopies extending from the main
portion of their building.
Mayor Dutton clarified his previous statement relative to signing for
national identification to include. not only the service station industry, but
others such as McDonald's, Bob's Big Boy, etc.
At the conclusion of discussion, it was decided that the Planning
Commission will study, evaluate and make recommendations relative to the sign
ordinance with emphasis being given to what constitutes a sign and the number
of free standing signs permitted.
Commissioner Seymour stated that the Planning Commission has recently
become quite concerned with proposed, and some approved development in the
northeast industrial area, specifically that area between the Riverside Freeway
and La Palma Avenue. The Planning Commission has consistently upheld the general
plan in that area which has designated it for industrial development. After
approval by Council of a miniature golf course, the movie studio and travel
trailer development in this area, the Commission became concerned with the fact
that perhaps there was a change in the area and requested staff to investigate
and make recommendations to them. Staff studies revealed that with the amount
of industrial development occurring and with industrial space allotted in
surrounding cities nearly exhausted, Anaheim will not only receive additional
and continuing industrial development in the northeast area, it will also be
at a more rapid pace. Commissioner Seymour questioned whether or not Council
still desires to reserve this area for strictly industrial development.
Mayor Dutton wished to remove any doubt that it was Council's
intention to open the total northeast industrial area for other than industrial
use. He suggested that the Planning Commission evaluate the possibility of
additional uses being permitted within the industrial zone.
Commissioners Farano and Herbst stated that after hearing staff
recommendations, they were of the opinion that there was a sufficient amount
of growth and even an increase in growth to warrant holding the industrial
zone as is. It was felt in the next 20 years, demand would far exceed supply.
Councilman Thom stated in his opinion the study made clearly
dictates preservation of the industrial area, its integrity and usage.
Commissioner Seymour concluded that the Planning Commission will
take a look at the industrial area and M-1 uses in an attempt to define
additional uses that would be compatible with industrial development.
Commissioner Seymour voiced a fearof °thePlanning Commission in
approving condominium developments without an ordinance regulating this type
of development. Townhouse developments have been approved under the Planned
Unit Development concept, which has proved successful to date, and condominium
developments have been approved under R -3 development standards. It is the
belief of the Planning Commission that condominium usage, which is ownership
usage, is not consistent with an apartment house. Condominium connotates
permanence of tenancy which differs from apartment house usage. The Planning
Commission feels that if condominiums are permitted to develop like R-3
developments, the density will become so great and the open space will be
so reduced that slum areas could materialize.
He stated that with the expiration of the emergency condominium
ordinance adopted by Council over a year ago, any zoned R -3 property or
designated R-3 property on the General Plan, can be developed as a condo-
minium and within five years create an undesired atmosphere and environment
due to greater density and less open space.
Mayor Dutton explained that the Council has recognized the fact
that condominium owners are of a permanent nature, meaning average ownership
of a five year period. He was in accord with updating the expired condominium
ordinance and suggested the Planning Commission review, recommend and submit
it to the City Council for consideration.
72 -691
City Hall. Anaheim. California COUNCIL MINUTES October 24. 1972. 1:30 P.M.
The Mayor stated he feels the problem lies with the fact that when Council
"reverses" the recommendation of the Planning Commission, which is the
recommending, not deciding body, citizens and the press criticize Council
because they do not understand the function of the Planning Commission. If
Council continuously reverses recommendations of the City Planning Commission
on the same issue, then it is a good indication that there is a need to review
site development standards, and perhaps change certain ordinances, so that the
Planning Commission can uphold the ordinances which reflect the policies and
desires of the Council. Mayor Dutton stated he felt that the purpose of this
meeting was to review the changes that ought to be made so that there will be
a consistency of philosophical viewpoints between the City Council and the
Planning Commission relative to land use and development.
Commissioner Seymour stated the first item that concerns the Planning
Commission gravely is garage setbacks and parking in single family residential
area. The recently adopted setback requirements permitting a developer to
erect a structure somewhere between six and ten feet from the property line,
providing no off street parking in the driveway, will create or has already
created a parking problem in some instances in the RS-5,000 developments.
This parking problem arises when the lot size is squeezed or narrowed, combined
with the factor of reduced setbacks which will not permit parking in driveways;
and when homeowners use the garage for storage rather than parking, forcing
vehicles onto the street; and when vehicles are parked on the street and are
not provided with adequate on-street parking due to narrow lots, more specifi-
cally on cul-de-sacs.
Commissioner Seymour was of the opinion that the ordinance should
reflect variable setbacks, six to ten foot setbacks, but limit the number of
those lots within a subdivision. The ordinance as structured now permits a
developer to build homes with a six to ten foot setback and even though he
provides automatic garage door openers, he destroys two effective parking
spaces per house and if lots are not wide enough to provide adequate on- street
parking, it creates a definite parking problem.
Commissioner Farano explained that the occasion that brought this
parking problem to the acute attention of the Planning Commission was recent
application wherein developers have had between 50 and 75% of the garages
within the six to ten foot setback. These factors combined with cul- de-sac
lots all have little curb parking provided. Commissioner Farano was of the
opinion that there should be a limit as to how many lots can be within the
six to ten foot setback. Further, the Planning Commission feels there is a
direct correlation between the number of bedrooms per house and parking
requirement, additional bedrooms produce additional parking needs.
Mayor Dutton explained that the Council's position in adopting RS-
5000 site development standards was that with a six to ten foot setback,
people either had to park on the street or in the garage which was provided
with automatic garage door openers, and with a 25 foot or over, they could
park in the driveway instead of the garages. The Council felt that the market
place would take care of the number snd percentages of those six to ten foot
setback lots. If there is an abuse of the RS-5,000 standard, then perhaps a
change in the ordinance is warranted.
Commissioner Gauer noted a recent trend in converting garages into
dens, thereby eliminating any parking in the garage and if you have a six to
ten foot setback with a converted garage, a parking problem develops.
With more cars than can be garaged at most homes, Commissioner Kaywood
felt there is a need for an ample driveway in order to park off the street. She
stated that most people, when buying a home, do not realize nor anticipate their
parking needs until after they have lived in the home.
Councilman Stephenson stated

72 -692
City Hall. Anaheim, California COUNCIL MINUTES October 24. 1972. 1 :30 P.M.
Commissioner Kaywood asked whether the City was creating a parking
problem situation by lowering the amount of space needed to get the cars off the
street. Another factor to consider are visitors to these homes. If homeowners
are forced to park in the street, then you have bumper to bumper parking in a
residential area. It would be impossible for a street sweeper to clean the
street.
Relative to the RS -5,000 developments, Councilman Stephenson ques-
tioned the practicability of having a 20 foot lawn to care for. In his opinion
it was more important to give people a usable backyard rather than giving them
a large front yard to maintain.
Commissioner Kaywood voiced opinion that the main beauty in any
residential or commercial area was in the setback and landscaping.
Commissioner Allred stated he felt that the beauty of landscaping
was for everyone's enjoyment, be it residential or commercial. Getting the
cars off the street would enhance the appearance of any area. There is a
definite need for a better setback requirement.
Mayor Dutton pointed out that different people have different require-
ments. He advised it was not the Council's intention all lots be allowed the
reduced setback but that people would purchase according to their needs.
Councilman Sneegas was of the opinion that there is no beauty in a
front yard that has 20 feet of black asphalt with a camper shell, motorhome or
boat trailer continuously parked on it. In order to solve the parking problem,
it would be necessary to revert back to the larger lot, but our present day
economy and the market place does not permit this. In deliberations on the six
to ten foot setbacks, Council was of the opinion that a reasonable number of
homes in the City could be built in this fashion and that the people buying
these lots would use the automatic garage door openers and park in the garage.
Councilman Sneegas felt the market place, rather than legislation, was a better
way to solve the parking problem.
Commissioner Farano offered a suggestion that if it was consistent
with Council's thinking, perhaps the Planning Commission undertake a
study to determine what would be acceptable percentage policy for large tracts
where a percentage of homes in the tract have smaller setbacks than others,
including both the residential structures and garages.
Mayor Dutton agreed that the Planning Commission should make such an
analysis and added that some study be given to the amount of parking space
recommended in front of homes, particularly on cul-de-sacs.
Commissioner Herbst disagreed with the theory that the market place was
the means for solving the parking problem. He felt that the developer builds
with the idea that he will sell all of his houses; it is the City who is left
with the parking problem. He stated in his opinion a street was for parking, not
storing a car, and that houses should provide the storage space for cars. With
cars parked on the street, street sweepers can not clean, the streets become
dirty and the City has a health problem.
Councilman Thom stated there seems to be a direct corollary between
the number of bedrooms and the number of automobiles per home. This factor
should be taken into consideration by the Planning Commission in determining
percentage guidelines on suggested setbacks for tract developments, i.e., homes
with four bedrooms or more have at least a 25 foot setback and home with three
or less bedrooms have a six to ten foot setback.
Commissioner Gauer cautioned the Council against setting minimum
requirements because developers tend to use minimum requirements as the standard.
Commissioner Seymour stated the Planning Commission would hold a work
session regarding setbacks and parking requirements in single family residential
areas and make recommendations to the Council for their consideration.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE LEASE AGREEMENT ANAHEIM STADIUM, JANUARY 1973: Mr. Tom
Liegler, Director of the Stadium- Convention Center, introduced Donn Weiss,
Bill Granholm and Joe Browne, representatives of the National Football League,
Commissioner's Office.
Mr. Liegler informed the Council that since the Super Bowl game will
be played at the Los Angeles Coliseum this year, two stadiums would be needed
for the participating teams to use for workouts, and one will be selected in
the Long Beach area, the other in Orange County. A proposal has been received
from the National Football League for use of Anaheim Stadium for this purpose
for one week in January 1973, as follows: the League (or team) is to pay all
costs of operation, services, labor and supplies, plus an additional 5% of the
total cost as an administrative fee. In addition, the League has agreed, as
a public service, to open the Stadium to the public free of charge the first
day of practice and will be responsible for costs involved, including crowd
control and cleanup. The remainder of the week the stadium would be closed to
both press and public.
Mr. Liegler stated that this use of the facility in January would not
affect any other tenants and recommended that the City Council approve the lease
agreement.
In answer to Councilman Stephenson's question regarding possible
damages to the playing field as a result of the workout sessions, Mr. Liegler
advised that the League would be required to return the field in the same
condition as it was obtained.
On motion by Councilman Sneegas, seconded by Councilman Stephenson,
the lease agreement as outlined and recommended by the Stadium Director, with
the National Football League for use of Anaheim Stadium for one week in the

John F. Seymour, Jr., Chairman
Commissioner Seymour stated that the Planning Commission requested
this joint work session because in the more recent past, the Commission has
found itself making decisions and recommendations to the City Council which
have been counter evidently to the Council's desire, noting that the Planning
Commission does not feel the Council should approve all their decisions and
recommendations, nor should the Planning Commission act as a mere rubber stamp
body. It is the intent of the City Planning Commission to more closely conform
their decision and recommendations to the desires of the City Council, who are
the elected officials and represent the citizens of Anaheim.
Commissioner Seymour was of the opinion that perhaps there exists
basic philosophical differences or interpretations of the ordinances and
general plan of the City between the Council and the Commission which has
resulted in a lack of concert in decision making. It is hoped by reaching a
closer understanding of philosophical beliefs by both bodies, the citizens
will benefit by a closer harmonious working relationship of the two bodies;
thus providing them with better service in an efficient and effective manner.
Commissioner Herbst added that he felt .there was some misinterpreta-
tion by the press of the Planning Commission's role. He explained that the
Planning Commission is subject to uphold and protect the ordinances passed by
the City Council, and felt if the Council wishes to vary from these ordinances,
perhaps a change or amendment to them would be proper.
Mayor Dutton enlarged on Commissioner Herbst's opinion by stating that
most citizens do not understand the function of their own Government. He ex-
plained that the City Council is the elected representative of the citizens and
their duties are principally fourfold:
1. Legislative body.
2. Policy making group.
3. Quasi judicial body.
4. Trustees of the people's property.
Under State law the primary, but not limited, duty of the Planning
Commission is to make recommendations to the City Council relative to land use.
City Hall, Anaheim, California COUNCIL MINUTES October 24, 1972, 1 :30 P.M.
PROPOSED ABANDONMENT NO. 72 -6A: Request was submitted by Mr. Frederick Z. Reitler,
to abandon a portion of a former Anaheim Union Water Company right of way,
located south of La Palma Avenue, east of Kraemer Boulevard.
Discussion was held as to whether or not the proposed abandonment
would require Environmental Impact Report prior to action by the Council.
Mr. Watts pointed out that the City's abandonment will allow the fee owner an
entitlement of use, which according to the Supreme Court decision, may have a
significant impact and would require an E.I.R.
The Council directed the Engineering staff to prepare required E.I.R.
for Abandonment No. 72 -6A.
RESOLUTION NO. 72R -496: Councilman Dutton offered Resolution No. 72R -496
for adoption.

NORTH SUBSTATION SITE EAST SIDE OF PAULINE STREET, NORTH OF LA PALMA AVENUE:
Mr. Murdoch reported that this item had been held over from the October 19,
1972 meeting for further clarification regarding the price of $80,000.00 for
the 2.64 acre parcel. He stated that in further research, land in the area
was sold by the City in 1967 and 1971 at approximately the same price per
square foot and the price, as established,is well supported by sales of indus-
trial properties in the general area. He reported that although the City does
not require the northly portion of subject parcel, the cost of severance would
exceed cost of the entire parcel, and indications are that the sale of this
northern triangular shaped portion of the property may be possible.
Mr. Edwards informed the Council that studies of the electrical system
for several years have indicated that additional capacities were needed in the
northern part of the City for voltage regulation and load growth. Construction
was deferred for budgetary reasons until after the Edison acquisition. Load
shifting in this area is now at a critical point and this new station must be
in service and on the line by the peak time, which is anticipated to be any
time after July 1973. There are no abutting stations close enough to handle
voltage regulation in this area.
Four different sites were considered for this substation, all of them
located within the general area. The advantages of this particular site is that
there is presently existing an Edison Company 66KV transmission line along the
railroad right of way, on which Edison will grant permission for joint use.
Therefore, a minimum of 66KV and 12KV work is required to pick up the existing
circuits in this area, and construction of the North Substation on this parti-
cular parcel would be less costly than any other site.
RESOLUTION NO. 72R -497: At the conclusion of the discussion, Councilman
Stephenson offered Resolution No. 72R -497 for adoption.

departmental input aside from the report.
Mr. Roberts reported that development was well underway at the time

done preliminary grading and awaits only final reading of the ordinance to
proceed.
Mr. Roberts noted that the Environmental Impact Report prepared
follows closely to the guidelines adopted by the City Council and since the
committee review, the Police Department has expressed concern regarding the
private alleyways and the fact all garages are orientated toward these alley-
ways and the possible difficulties that might be encountered by emergency
vehicles and enforcement of parking violations. Also, the City Engineer
report regarding traffic projected to be generated by the project and
possible routes used for traffic circulation was noted.

CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING HOUSEMOVING: Application for housemoving permit submitted
by Miss Rose Mae Williams, to move a structure from 121 Illinois Street,Anaheim
to 828 North Pine Street, Anaheim, was continued from the meeting of October
10, 1972 to allow neighbors objecting to the moving of the house, to view and
inspect the garage proposed to be moved, to determine if there would be any ob-
jections to moving of the garage only.
Communication from Miss Williams was submitted and read, wherein it
was requested that the existing garage be allowed to remain on the property in
addition to the new garage.
Noted was the previous stipulation by the Applicant that the existing
garage would be removed. Also noted was petition approving the moving onto
the property of the new three -car garage on condition it not be used as a living
quarter of any nature and that the existing single -car garage be removed.
The Mayor asked if the Applicant was present and wished to address
the Council.
Miss Williams advised although the existing garage was not usable as
a garage, it was good storage space for furnishings needed in her other apart-
ments and rentals. For this reason and also for the reason that the garage
existed when she purchased the property, she would like to have it remain.
Mr. Roberts reported that it was not the intent of the R -1 zone to
permit use of the garage for storage purposes (ranges, refrigerators, etc.)
in connection with another business. Further if the Council approves moving
of the garage only, the coverage must be limited to that permitted in an R -1
zone and due to the necessity of an additional two and one -half feet at the
rear of the property for future alley widening, the garage would have to be
located further away from the centerline of the alley than what is indicated
on the plot plan.

in favor or in opposition to said application. There.being no response declared
