Ci tv Hall, Anaheim. Cali fornia t November 27, 1956 - 7: 00 P,.M.
The Mayor asked if anyone ~shed to address the Council on the matter.
Mr. Bernard addressed the City Council on behalf of the Spadrom Estates
(Louis Lesser & Associates) and advised that they were the owners of the property
to the east, a part of which has been developed into single family residences, and
that this request was made because of inability to sell the single famj.ly residences
in this area. He presented an artist's conception of the apartment buildings that
they proposed to construct, which would contain four units each. Mr. Bernard also
submitted a letter from Mr. Louis Lesser advising that it was their intention and .~
promise to construct the multiple family dwellings in accordance with the renderings
as presented and to restrict the land by deed restrictions to the two story dwelling
un! ts.
It was noted that the lots within the tract were subnormal in size, being
on the average of 60 feet by 100 feet.
Mr. Al Scali, 1203 West Romneya Drive, and Mr. Blackford, 1312 Lombard Drive,
addressed the City Council, protesting the reclassification. They advised that they
had been informed when purchasing their homes, that only single family residences
would be constructed in this area, and that it was their opinion that sufficient
multiple dwellings were already in the area. Further, that the increase in traffic
caused by the additional residents would add to the already overburdened traffic
condition on'Romneya Driveo
After further discussion, Councilman Coons offered a Resolution to rezone
Lots 1 to 46, R-3, with Lots 47 through 64 remaining R-l, thereby creating a full
buffer on the west side of the area backing up to the present R-I zoning.
The City Council felt that Mr. Scali and Mr. Blackford should advise their
neighbors of the poss;.blli ty of rezoning a portion of this area R-3 and retaining a
R-l buffer zone.
Councilman Coons withdrew Resolution previously offered and moved to hold
the matter over to December 11, 1956, 7:00 o'clock P.M. Councilman Wisser seconded ~
the motion. MOTION CARRIED. I
