PROPOSAL - ANAHEIM UNION WATER COMPANY: Consideration of proposal of Anaheim
Union Water Company to convey to the City of Anaheim water distribution
facilities within the Anaheim city limits, was continued from the last
meeting for report from the Director of Public Works.
Mr. Piersall reported that there are two factors in which the
City of Anaheim would have an advantageG One9 those portions of the
Anaheim Union Water System which could be used in an integrated ultimate
system of storm drainage; to be used in some cases as an interim system,
and in others as a supplementary to a storm drain systemo
Mr. Piersall further reported that an analysis was made of the
twenty-six miles of line, and evaluation of the system was on a cubic foot
per water moved, per foot of pipe; that according to their estimate, the
value for storm drainage purposes would be from $5,000000 to $9,000.00.
Second, there would be an advantage in relocating the existing
lines for street improvements, which is extremely difficult to assign a
dollar value9 as in some cases the developer is responsible for the reloca-
tion of these lines, and the many local lines running from the Anaheim
Union Water System that the consumers have installed are uncharted lines;
however their estimate would be between $10,000.00 and $15,000.00.
Mr. Piersall further reported tha~ on the liability side of the
factor, is approximately 8,000 feet of open channel, weir boxes, etc., that
in their opinion are hazardous and should be removed. The cost of removing
these open channels, etco, would approximately balance out the cost of esti-
mated value for relocating lines.
Mr. Geisler reported that the contract was discussed with Mr.
Murdoch, Mr. Peterson, and Mr. Dudley Wright, Attorney for Anaheim Union
Water Company. Concerning the clause pertaining to indemnity, Mr. Wright
was of the opinion that it was essential that a protective clause be a part
of the agreement; however, the company would be agreeable to a fifty-fifty
basis.
Regarding water rights, the City felt some commitment should be
made, that if they did sell the water rights, there should be a right of first
refusal, either to the City of Anaheim, or some governmental agency of Orange
County.

City Hall, Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 7.. 1964.. 1:30 P.M.'
The company advised that although they probably would sell the
water rights to some Orange County agency, they would not be willing to
commit themselves, as in their opinion it might prejudice their bargaining
position on the sale of the rightst
Mr. Geisler further advised that the proposed agreement would not
transfer shares; the only obligation to the shareholders or present cus-
tomers would be to furnish irrigation water, which would be on the basis of
the City charges, and in accordance vlth City rates.
Reference was made to the two factors to the City9s advantage,
reported by Mro Lenain, Superintendent of the Water Division, the pr~gently
existing thirty-six inch bore under the Riverside Freeway, and a bore to be
constructed under the proposed Orange Freeway, which could be used for City
water transmission mains, being an estimated value to the City of Anaheim of
approximately $16,000.00.
In answer to Council questioning, Mra Peterson advised that the
Orange County Water District has filed an adjudication proceeding against
all the up-river users.
Mr. Murdoch reported that the possible use of the water rights, if
they could be acquired, was investigated, and explained where th~ water
could be obtained and how it could be channeled into the City system.
Concern was expressed regarding the possible loss of these water
rights to this area by non-use. Mr. Peterson advised that approximately
2,000 acres are still being served, namely in the Placentia area, and that
they will continue to take water in order to retain the rights.
Recognizing the relationship between the City of Anaheim and the
Anaheim Union Water Company has always been on the highest level, Councilman
Chandler advised that he would prefer purchasing the facilities on the basis
of the number of acres to be served, with transfer of water rights to serve
said acreage.
At the conclusion of the discussion, it was moved by Councilman
Krein, seconded by Councilman Chandler, that the present contract offer be
referred to the City Manager and City Attorney for further negotiations with
Mr. Peterson and Mr. Wright, of the Anaheim Union Water Company, to determine
if a more equitable arrangement can be worked out, even if it would result in
the purchasing of said facilities and water rights. MOTION CARRIED.
REQUEST - SIDEWALK PLACEMENT. 2746 WEST BROADWAY: Request of Mr. K. La Spaulding
for permission to install sidewalk adjacent to the curb in front of his
residence at 2746 West Broadway, was submitted.
Also submitted and reviewed by the City Council was report from
the City Engineer, recommending said request be denied, for the following
reasons:
1. This construction would be in contrast to Standard Plan No. 1000, as
approved and adopted by the City Council.
2. Dr. Albert Schweitzer School (229 South Dale) is 670 feet west of subject
property.
3. City Library and Community Park are located immediately to the east of
subject property, generating heavy foot traffic.
4. Property west of subject property has sidewalk at the ultimate 13 foot
alignment along Broadway, and the transition of the walk from there to
the proposed alignment adjacent to the curb could cause a safety hazard.
Mr. Maddox reported that he felt the City Counci19s attention
should be called to additional factors, which are the pedestrian safety
afforded by placing sidewalks away from the streets, the more pleasing
appearance of streets lined with landscaped parkways, and. the fact that
utility poles, fire hydrants, etc., are installed in parkway areas~ and
would have to be within the sidewalk area, should subject request be granted.

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 7, 1964, 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Spaulding addressed the Council advising that the thirteen
foot parkway width along Broadway would place the sidewalk within twelve
feet of his living room, constituting an invasion of privacy, in his opinion.
On motion by Councilman Dutton, seconded by Councilman Chandler,
said request was denied, in accordance with recommendations of the City
Engineer. MOTION CARRIED.
REVISED TENTATIVE MAP~ TRACT NO. 5231 (RECLASSIFICATION NO. 63-64-5 AND
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 449): Communication dated December 13, 1963, from
Consolidated Engineering, on behalf of S. V. Hunsaker and Sons, was sub-
mitted requesting elimination of the six foot wall along the Riverside
Freeway frontage, being the westerly boundary of Revised Tentative Tract
No. 5231, required as condition of approval thereof~
!
Council discussion was held and attention was called to Council
Policy No. 520, pertaining to all residential subdivisions adjacent to
freeways and/or arterial highways, which policy requires a six foot masonry
wall, separating the abutting lot from said freeway or arterial highway.
Mr. Purdy, representing S. V. Hunsaker and Sons, advised that they
have been informed by the State of California that chain link fences must be
installed by the State along all freeways, regardlessof what type fencing or
walls may be installed on property lines~ He further advised that because of
the difference between the elevation of the freeway and their property, a
wall would not screen the alley and garages which are to be located on the west
side of the property, and he thereupon requested said requirement be eliminated.
On motion by Councilman Dutton, seconded by Councilman Chandler,
said request was denied in accordance with Council Policy. MOTION CARRIED.
RECLASSIFICATION NO. 62-63-124 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 432- EXTENSION OF
TIME: Request of Doyle and Shields, dated December 26, 1963, was submitted~ for
180 day extension of time, to Reclassification No. 62-63-124 and Conditional
Use Permit No. 432, for compliance with certain conditions contingent to the
granting of subject applications.
~
One hundred and eighty day extension of time was granted as requested,
on motion by Councilman Schutte, seconded by Councilman Dutton. MOTION CARRIED.
CLARIFICATION - TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 5403 (RECLASSIFICATION NO. 62-63-35 AND
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 313): Brought before the City Council as City Planning
Commission recommendations concerning termination of Conditional Use Permit
No. 313 and amendment to Reclassification No. 62-63-35 had not been acted upono
It was determined by the City Council that recommendations of the
City Planning Commission were not acted upon, leaving determination to
the developer to finalize said tract map or develop under pending Reclassifi~
cation and Conditional Use Permit at his option.

Appeal from action taken by the City Planning Commission was
filed by Ulysses E. Bauer, Architect for the proposed project, and Public
Hearing scheduled this date.
Mr. Kreidt noted the location of the irregularly shaped subject
property, and the existing uses and zoning in the immediate area, indi-
cating existing landscape setback areas along Katella Avenue varying in
width from 10 to 20 feet.
Mr. Kreidt called attention to a Revised Plan of development
for portion "A", submitted for Council review together with report from
the Planning Department - Development Review.
The Mayor asked if the applicant or his agent was present and
wished to address the City Council.
Mr. Ulysses E. Bauer, Architect, 500-C North Los Angeles Street,
Anaheim, addressed the City Council advising that the appeal was filed to
request the 20 foot landscaped setback along Katella Avenue be reduced to
10 feet@ In their opinion a 10 foot landscaped setback would provide
not only a nice appearance, and just as much baffle as an additional 10 feet
of lawn, but also provide additional space to maneuver cars in the parking
area.
Regarding the air<-conditioners, Mro Bauer advised that relocating
the air-conditioners to the inner-court side of the building, as agreed to
at the City Planning Commission hearing, was found to require substantial
changes, and thereupon requested approval of a different type air-conditioner;
an "in-wall" unit extending approximately 2 inches from the finished surface.
of the exterior wall and with protective grills, an over all extension of
approximately 4 incheso
Plans and the file were reviewed together with drawing submitted
by the Architect.
The City Clerk read communication dated January 3, 1964, from
John B. Halverson, Attorney representing Mr. F. L. Duda, owner of apartment
building at 1830 Casa Vista Street. Said letter noted Mr. Duda's objection
to the proposed development, advising his building faces subject property, and
the plans indicate egress from the motel at a point directly opposite the front
of his building, adding to the already heavily traveled Casa Vista Street.
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to address the City Council.
MrG Halverson, Union Bank Tower, Orange, Attorney representing Mr.
Duda, addressed the Council in opposition, calling attention to the existing
R-3 zoning and noted that 1830 Casa Vista Street faces the proposed commercial
property which normally requires a 20 foot setback instead of 3 feet; and
further advised that in his opinion an undesirable precedent would be establish-
ed by granting a motel use on existing R-3 Zoned property.
Mr. Halverson submitted photos illustrating the relationship of sub-
ject property to the apartment building.
Mrso Flostine Herbst, owner of property located at 1172 and 1178 Casa
Grande Avenue, submitted photos of subject property and a typical residence in
the area, and advised that the proposed development would be a welcome improve-
ment to the vacant property and the neighborhood. Further, no increase in traf-
fic has been noted through their neighborhood as a result of the existing motels
on Katella Avenue.

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Januarv 7. 1964. 1:30 P.M.
Mr. and Mrs. Kardun, 1184 Casa Grande Avenue, addressed the Council
in favor of the proposed development, concurring with the statement made by
Mrs. Herbst.
Mr. Ben Dobbs, 1837 South Jacalene, adjacent to subject property,
was of the opinion that the value of nearby property would be increased by
the development as planned; and could not foresee future problems that would be ___
caused by traffic generated by the motel and restaurant.p~otection.
Mr. Bauer, in rebuttal, stated that the apartment building on Casa
Vista Street, referred to by Mr. Halverson, actually faces Casa Grande Avenue,
and the driveway for traffic leaving the motel would be directly across from
the apartment garagess
Mr. Halverson advised that it was Mr. Duda's understanding that a
3 foot planting strip and wall were planned for the west side of Casa Vista
Street, to which he objected~ He further noted that the address of the apart-
ment building is 1830 Casa Vista Street.
Mayor Coons asked if anyone else wished to address the Council,
there being no response, declared the hearing closed.
In answer to Councilman Chandler's question, Mr. Mahuerhan referred
to City Planning Commission Condition No.1, advising that the street light
installation charges for Casa Grande Avenue were previously paid when the tract
was developed.

upon the granting of a Conditional Use PermitG
2. That an irrevocable easement granting access from subject property across

the area, he summarized the public hearing held before the City Planning Com-
mission, and advised that the size of the units meet the R-3 Code requirements
and that the only variance from the R-3 Code requirements, are the provisions
for trash storage areas, and the carport which is presently under construction.
The Mayor asked if the applicants wished to address the Council.
Mr. Warren Finley Attorney, 1010 North Main Street Suite 700,
Santa Ana, California, representing the applicants, advised that the applica-
tion was submitted in order to conform with the existing actual usage of the
property. He further advised that the building was constructed with the

thought in mind that of leasing the units to businesses and corporations
on long term leases, to be occupied on a temporary basis by their various
visiting personnel, and as of this date sixty-two of the sixty-four units
are presently leased on a yearly basis~
Letter received this date, signed by the applicants was submitted
and it was noted that the tenants were residents of Anaheim, and were reg-
istered voters of the City of Anaheim.
-
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to address the Council.
Mr. Arthur Harman, 1760 West Lincoln Avenue, advised that his
objections were expressed in a letter filed by the Anaheim Area Visitors
and Convention Bureau, that if the development becomes an apartment under
the Apartment Code, there would be no objections, however he could foresee
a general danger of establishing a precedent8
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to address the Council,
there being no response, declared the hearing closed.
Discussion was held by the City Council, and Mr. Kreidt called
attention to a typographical error in both of the resolutions of the City
Planning Commission relative to the Reclassification and Conditional Use
Permit, and advised that in Finding No~ 1 reference should be to a two-story
construction rather than one-story construction.
RESOLUTION NO. 64R-8: At the conclusion of Council discussion, Councilman
Chandler noted the following findings;
1. That subject development is an R-3 development because of standards
required by the City Council in granting the motel permit.
2. That the granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 502 is in no way
any indication a precedent will be established, wherein other
motels in commercial or recreational areas will be granted a similar
zoning; that the granting of this permit is because of the unique
circumstances noted.
3. That the application for R-3 Reclassification, is in an area that
the Planning Staff and City Planning Commission have previously
recommended for R-3 development by virtue of the plan studies on
file, and the general indication on the General Plan.
In accordance with the above findings, Councilman Chandler offered
Resolution No. 64R-8 authorizing preparation of necessary Ordinance, changing
the zone as requested subject to the recommendations of the City Planning
Commission.

RECLASSIFICATION NO. 63-64-59: Submitted by Vivian F. Simmons, requesting a
change of zone from R-l to C-l, property located at the southeast corner
of Hiawatha Avenue and Brookhurst Street.
The City Planning Commission pursuant to Resolution No. 976,
Series 1963-64 recommended Reclassification No. 63-64-59 be denied.
Mr. Kreidt noted the location of subject property and the exist-
ing uses and zoning in the immediate area. He briefed the evidence submitted
to and considered by the City Planning Commission, and advised that the owner
of subject property plan to use a portion of said property for a beauty shop,
and also was the owner of the adjacent residential lot to the east.
Mr. Kreidt further reported that it was learned that the existing
dedication on Brookhurst Street was 50 feet instead of 40 feet as reported,
so the width of the lot would be reduced by ten feet instead of twenty feet
for street right-of-way, resulting in a lot width of sixty feet.
Plans and application file were reviewed by the City Council.
The Mayor asked if the applicant wished to address the Council.
Mrs. Vivian Simmons, 8821 Katella Avenue, applicant, addressed the
Council advising that in her opinion the denial was made without reason or
logic, and not supported by concrete objections9 further in her opinion, one
of the Planning Commissioners should have disqualified himself due to the fact
that he lived in the area.
Mrs. Simmons called attention to the heavily traveled Brookhurst
Street, and advised that the home has been for sale for eight months, and no
one was interested nor was financing available for a home on this site. The
increase in taxes without benefit of use of the property has been a burden,
and in addition there is presently existing commercial across the street in
both blocks to the North and South.
Mrs. Simmons felt that the Deed Restrictions on the tract were not
a valid argument in this matter as the character of the property has changed the
practical aspects of this condition, and further advised that the opposition has
always advanced the matter of deed restriction but have done nothing about the
violations that have occurred in the tract, by the addition of second stories
to dwellings and conducting businesses from some of the homes.
Attention was called to the indepartmental report, regarding possible
use of the property for multiplG or commercial development.
Mrse Simmons noted other areas where single lots have been granted
commercial use, and stated that the granting of the requested use would be a
substantial asset to the Lincoln Park Tract; that parking would not be a pro-
blem because the building would be small and the general appearance would be
very much improved by the erection of an attractive service type building.
Mrs. Simmons submitted a petition favoring said application, signed
by residents representing fourteen properties in the area.
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to address the Council in
support of said reclassification.
7399
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Januarv 7~ 1964~ 1:30 P.M.
Mr. L, G. Wunch, 2183 Niobe, addressed the Council calling atten-
tion to the high volume of traffic on Brookhurst Street and favored said
reclassification.
The Mayor asked if anyon~ else wished to address the Council in
favor of subject reclassification, there being no response, asked if anyone
wished to address the Council in opposition.
-
Mr. Cornelius Moyer, 2173 Victoria Avenue, stated that of the
thirty-five residents who signed the petition of opposition submitted at
the public hearing before the City Planning Commission, thirty-four live
in the area bounded by Brookhurst Street, Broadway, Garnet Street and
Hiawatha Avenue~ He further stated that many of the addresses represented
on the petition in favor of subject application were well removed from the
immediate area. Mr. Moyer was of the opinion that because the applicant
resides in a different section of the city, she may not be as familiar with
conditions in the neighborhood as are those who live there.
Mayor Coons read the petition in favor of C-l Zoning, noting
addresses as listed thereon containing 26 signatures representing fourteen
parcels of property.
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to adress the Council.
Mr. E. G. Yeager, 2177 Hiawatha Avenue, advised of the heavy
traffic within their subdivision, and he was not in favor of increasing
this problem by addition of a business. He further advised that children
in the neighborhood are too far from their school playground to make use
of it outside of school hours, and he suggested that a park be established
on some of the nearby undeveloped land which is commercially zoned.
Mr. Dick Tevlin, 106 Echo, stated that the property has been
declared zoned single family residential~ as approved by the City Council,
and called attention to the existing R-A zoned properties in the tract
which have been tentatively approved for R-l zoning~ He reported that his
home is adjacent to Lincoln Avenue, a busier street than Brookhurst, and
the traffic noises did not disturb him~
-,
Mrs. S. E. Jacobs, 2181 Hiawatha Avenue, addressed the Council
concurring in Mr. Yeagerqs statement regarding the need for a park where
youngsters could go for recreation, and she failed to see the necessity for
more commercial zoning in the area~
In rebuttal, Mrs. Simmons stated that if there was a house on
the lot in question, she could possibly sell the property; however, with
home financing unavailable for this property, the rezoning seems the only
solution to the problem. She advised that she has owned the property
four years, and although she was aware of the deed restrictions, she did
not fully realize the significance thereof.
Mr. Lowell Hawkins, 2177 Victoria, reported that the applicant
purchased the home adjacent to subject lot in 1956, and approximately
four years later, acquired the adjacent vacant property.
Mrs. M. Zustiak, 2108 Hiawatha, was of the opinion that to grant
this application would open the door to rezoning requests from other owners
of properties adjacent to Brookhurst Street.
Mrs. Stella Chavos, 1903 West Embassy, representing Lincoln Park
Civic Association, reported that some home owners in the subdivision have
added a second story room to their homes, however their deed restrictions
limit the Lincoln Park Tract to single family residential dwellings. She
advised that, according to the City Attorney, the Anaheim Municipal Code
allows one and one-half stories in the R-l Zone, and one room on the second
floor results in three-quarters of a dwelling being single story, which
complies with the Code. Mrs. Chavos requested that their deed restrictions
be upheld.

The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to address the City Council,
there being no response, declared the hearing closed.
Council discussion was held regarding the five lots in the area
which side on to Brookhurst Street, and consideration was given to the widen-
ing of said street and to the possibility of constructing masonry walls on
the westerly property lines of the lots$ Also noted was a recent similar
request at the corner of Niobe and Brookhurst Streets which was denied.

PUBLIC HEARING: RECLASSIFICATION NO. 63-64-60 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 504:
Submitted by Earle and Cecelia K. Brooks, requesting a change of zone from
R-A to R-3 and permission to establish a planned townhouse residential de-
velopment with waiver of the following:
1. Garages, to construct carports.
2. One-story height limitation within 150 feet of R-A property.
3. Alley access to permit ingress and egress from proposed street.
Property briefly described as located on the south side of Savanna
Street extending southerly to the Pacific Electric Railway Right-of-way,
approximately 1020 feet west of Knott Avenue (3620 Savanna Street).
The City Planning Commission pursuant to Resolution No. 977, Series
1963-64, recommended said reclassification be denied, and pursuant to Resolu-
tion No. 978, Series 1963-64, denied Conditional Use Permit No. 504.
Mr. Kreidt noted the location of the property and summarized the
hearing before the City Planning Commission, by reading excerpts of the
minutes of said meeting$ Reference was made to Finding No.4 of City Planning
Commission Resolution No. 977, Series 1963-64.
Mr. Kreidt further advised that upon visiting the location, it was
found that the area was completely rural in character.
The Mayor asked if the applicant wished to address the Council.
Mr. Tom Johnston, representing Lomar Developers, advised that the
entire area is in the process of change, and that they wish to develop the
area; however, since the applications have been recommended for denial, and
in the event the City Council concurred in these recommendations, and upon
the advise of a member of the Planning Staff, they have prepared an alternative
plan subdividing the property into eleven lots upon which they would propose
to construct duplex units.
Mr. Johnston further advised that they would prefer to develop the
property R-3 as originally planned.

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 7. 1964, 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Coons stated that any alternative plan that would be offered,
and would be such a marked change from the original plan would be referred
back to the Planning Commission for report.
Mr. Joe Long, President of Lomar Developers, 9776 Katella Avenue,
Anaheim, referred to the evidence presented to the City Planning Commission,
and further advised.
1. Regarding water supply: Upon checking with the City Water Department,
they have been advised that city water would be available.
2. Resarding Invasion of privacy: It was noted that there are no single
story limitations in an R-l Zone, further, the alternative plan is a
single story development.
3. Regarding keeping the area rural in character, Mr. Brooks, the present
owner of the property will comment on this matter~
Mr. Long presented the plot plan indicating eleven over minimum size
lots, plus elevation plans of proposed duplex units.
Mr. Earle Brooks, 3620 Savanna Street, owner of subject property,
advised that they wish to develop the property due to the fact that over the
past ten years the value of the land has increased, resulting in an increase
in taxes to a point wnpre it is no longer practical to maintain the property
for the purpose of raising orses.
He called attention to the development in the area during the past
ten years, noting that there is no longer a place to ride horses.
Mr. Brooks further advised that the row of eucalyptus trees next
to the railroad track at the south boundary of the property, has become a
nuisance and a hazardous area, because of children congregating at this loca-
tion and mischievously tormenting the horses, in addition there is a great
danger of fire. He sited incidents where the police and fire authorities
have been called, and reported that it is an area that is inaccessible for
police patrol. In his opinion the situation would be eliminated with the
development of the property as proposed.
..-,
Mr. Brooks felt that those in opposition to their request feared
development will result in their loss of a right to keep animals.
Mr. Long noted existing conditions in the area pertaining to the
keeping of animals which are in conflict with the Anaheim Municipal Code.
A letter received from Mrs. Barbara Middleton objecting to subject
reclassification, stating her reasons therefor, was submitted and read.
Mrs. Ann Logan, 3603 Savanna Drive, addressed the Council and re-
iterated objections presented by her before the City Planning Commission,
briefly as follows:
1. Financial burden due to the eventual street improvement, street'
lighting, etc.
2. The Mutual Water Company can not supply sufficient water.
3. Noise created by considerable increase in traffic.
4. Children may trespass and tease animals, and damage fruit trees.
5. Two story units would be an invasion to their privacy.
6. Decrease in the value of the propertyo

City Hal14 Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 7, 1964, 1:30 P.M.
Mrs~ Logan requested the area be permanently maintained as rural
in character.
Mrse Laura Wiebalk, 3629 Savanna Drive, Secretary of Savanna
Mutual Water Company, advised that they only have sufficient water for
the existing development.
Mrs. Wiebalk referred to the by-laws of the company, which state
that no one can become a member of the water company unless he is an owner
of a minimum of one-fourth acre, she questioned how lots in the proposed tract
of less than one-fourth acre could obtain water.
Mayor Coons stated, he believed it had been established that if
the development was approved, the City would extend water to the project,
and further explained the CityVs procedure of existing water mains and a
front foot charge when connections to said mains are made.
Mrs. Vivian Shields, 3640 Savanna Drive, felt that before units
could be sold, the property would require subdivision.
It was explained to Mrs. Shields that the application before the
City Council was for a planned multiple family development, however, if the
property is developed into an R-2 development, a subdivision map would be filed.
Mr. Richard Tetrow, 2136 West Savanna, addressed the Council opposing
said application, advising that in his opinion the development would not be
an asset to the area, further that the majority of people are satisfied with
the rural character of the area and requested be retained.
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to present additional evidence,
there being no response, declared the hearing closed.
