Mr~ John So Garroway, engineer of the medical center, appeared before the Commission
and reviewed the proposed location of the sign, noting that extensive landscaping and
irc~F:ove;nent would be placed on subject property also adjoininq the sign; further, that
the _equested sign was not a new one, but was only for relocation, and in accordance
with the existing Sign Ordinance, it w.- necessary to request a waiver of the number
of free-st.;nding signs since it did ne~ ~' Code; that they had had difficulty in people
being abie to loc~te the huspitai; ano ~ght that having the sign located at a more
strategic point would assisi th~:,:; Furtt,t.,, it was his feeling the sign would not inter-
fere with the flow of traffic on Romneya Uzive, a private street,
The Commission then discussed the proaezties on the no.rth and south sides of th? private
street, noting the Interdepartmental Committee was opposed to locating a private sign in
the ultimate right-of••way of a street on which the petitioner had originally presented
an offer of dedication, but which had not, as yet, been accepted by the City; that the
proposed sign wouid be a hazard to heavy traffic, especially when ambulances ~.vould be

VARIAhJCE ~0.. ~~8~ •- In response to Commission puestioningY Mro Garroway stated the
(Continued)~ location of tne proposed sign had been recommended by thE srchitect
as being a most ar~enable change and would be complementary to the
f3cilitiess and that both the +ichitect and the en9ineer had surveyed
the area and were of the opinion ihe proposed location would not interfere with traffico
Office Engineer Arthur D3w advised the Commission that a~ the time subject petition had
been r~viewed at the Interdep3rtmental Committee Meeting, the previous action of dedication
of Romneya Drive was revie~ve:-~ for the meMbeis9 although the termination of the private
street w3s within subject property, and the dedication had not been accepted by the City,
it was the feeling of the Pub~ic Works Director that the proposed location of the sign
would not be acceptabie by the City~
Comr,issioner Camp returned to the Councii Chamber at 2:33 pamo
Mr~ Thomas Antionyy architect for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and
stated it was his opinion ~tl:e proposed loc3tion wouid not be hazardeus to traffic, although
the Commission seemed to be of the opi~:ion ±hat a hazard was being created, and he would
respect any reco~r.mendation the Conrnissi.on night have~
~ Discussion was then heid by tne Conunission .;elative to the relocation of the existing
sign, noting that the City wou~d not permit the location of pri:ate signs in an ultimate
public :ight•of••way., and su~gested the petitioner might place the sign on the southwest
cozner of Romneys Dri~-e and Euciid Street since this would accomplish the purpose of the
_elocation of the sign~

Mr~ Roberts advised the Commission that since the proposed R-3 Zone was being increased,

of possible conFlict of ~irculatior,s prob~ems of adjoining properties in conjunction with
subject petitions,
Mr~ Randall Fairbsirn appeared befoze the Commissiony represeni:ing the petitioner,
stating that some problem had developed bec3use of a:eciprocal agreement fr~r the street
pattern with tne properties tc the east and west; that he had contacted the adjacent
property cwners and w~s hopef~_ they wouid appear at the hearing todayf that the property
owner to ~he east h3d ,advised ti~r; the proposed development of their property was no longer
vaiid; tnat he ha~+ r,~nt3cted tne p7ope~ty owner to the west, but they were re?uctant to
agree or disagi•ee with the p:ooose~ deveiopment or withdraw th=ir plans of development
which had been tied in w.ith ~ ientative tract map~ and that as a condition of approval,
he would obtsin signatures oi ihe pzoperty owners for withdrawal of their developments,
and thi~ couid be stipuiated to st the ~equest of the City Attorney's office~
The Commission rev?ewed the `_ime limitations of the proposed developments to the east and
westy it was noted 3 six•-montii time 1:.7~ita+.ion fcr the property to the east had expired
in Septertioer of ;964, 3nd no addition33 extension of time had been requested; that the
ti~e limit3tion oF the prope.ty to the west wouid expire later on in the year, si.nce
the oet:tioner hs~ ~e?uested a yea:s' exter:sion of time on Tract No~ 5385~
?t w.is ~~~-cher no*.ed by Lhe Cort~;:issior that the pioposed development v+as a self-contained
unii,. whe;eas those or, the e:3st and west weze deveioped contingent upon subject property
e~o•.:~:ir:g s_cess *o: ~hese prope:ties,.
M,, Fai:tai_n s*sted he had bee~~ ~neb:e to obtain any concrete commitment from the

bs necessary 'rom the owners of inte_est in ~he preperties, and that a letter of intent

FurtherY 3n response to ht;, F.3i,-oairr`s ;uestioning -=_ince subject development was a
se:f conta.ned one; the :~djo'_ning p:operty owners would have to submit revised plans -
Mi. Robe:ts st~ted thjt if the tentative tz3ct was fiied in final form and approved by
the City Cour.ci:, there would be some question under the Subdivision T:3ct Map Act whether
or not subiect petition could be approved ~nd developed because of previous commitments

contiriger.t upon each other reing developed.,
Corsiderable discussion was ther :eid between the Commission, the representative of the
developery a~~d Uffice Engineei Arthur Daw relative to providing access contingent upon
the tracts to the west beiry developed~ It was noted that since oniy one o{ the Dowling
brothers pzesently indicated interest in the property, the tract map could ba withdrawno
Mr, I.eRoy Rose, a:chitect ior ihe developmenty reviewed the plans for the Commission upon
r.eing questioned ~bout the possibiiity of revision to delete the waiver of the minimum
required yard areas, and stated this could be accomplished by relocation, whereupon the
Commission stated that since the plans for subject property could be revised to provide
adequate yard areas, the oniy waiver they would presently consider would be the height
li.mitation„
Mro Mickelson advised the Commission that the maximum coverage in the R-3 Zone was 55%;
tha± the petitioner proposed 52% on the easterly and 49% on the westerly portions.,

_, JEFFERSON AND LIA'DA VISTA _STREEI_S COMMISSION, 204 East Lincoln Avenue, Anaheim, California,
proposing ti.~ precise alignment of Jefferson and Linda
Vista Stre~ between Orangethorpe and La Palma Avenues„
Associate Planner Ronald Grudzins~~i reviewed the •~roposed precise alignment of Jefferson
and Linda Vista St:eets for the Gommission, notin9 that in July of 1964, the Commission
had approved the general alignmenty that the City Ceuncil had concurred w;th the Commission's
generai a?.ignment of these streets and had recommended to the Orange County Planning Commis-
sion tha.+. the qeneral aliynment be adopted; fur•ther, that the Orange County Board of Super-
visors had adopted ~he precise ali9nment as indicated; and that the only exception on being
r2viewed by the Planning and Engineering Departments of tne City of Anaheim was the fact
the street width was propused for 100 feet, whereas the City of Anaheim's requirement was
lOti feet, but that the centerline remain the samee
i ~
Mr. Grudzinski further stated that since th? precise alignment advertised was in concurrence
with the Orange County Board of Supervisor`s action, it was :el+ 'this was the normal manner
of procedure for establishing the precise alignment of Jefferson and Linda Vista Streets.
! in response to Commission questioning relative to the basic reason for calling this the
"Jeffersor, alignment", Mr. Grudzinski stated that since the County had referred to the
i precise alignment, the name was carried on as far as the City of Anahei~r was concerned,
I but that no specific name had been chosen.
i A man in the Council Ch3rc~ber advised the C,-~mission that Jefferson Street extended throug:~
to Yorba Linda Eoulevard, although northerly of Orangewood Avenue it appeared to be just
a local street~
It was noted by the Commission thai; if a name change was in order, it could be advertised
at a later date since the existir,g hearing was for the establishment of th~ precise align-
ment of these two streets.
' Mre Hudson Saffell, 2080 Placentia, Costa Mesa, appeared before the Commission in opposition
, to subject precise aligrment, stating that he and a partner, Mr. McAdam owned property on
~~ the southeast corner of Jefferson and Walnut Streets; that if the proposed alignment were
established, his property would suffer a loss because it would eliminate suitable frontage

of ~he prope~ty since at the time they purchased the property, they were under the assumption
that they would have access ',;o both Walnut Street and Jefferson Street, and that although he
had no definite plans for the use of that intersection, development with industrial purposes
or sale of the pro;~erty for said purposes would be difficult if the Commission's action took
place,
The Conmission advised Mro Saffell that the frontage on Walnut Street would remain the same,
but there would be some alteration to the Jefferson Street frontage, and a study would have
,~~~ ta be made to determine whether or not the triangular portion would be abandoned, and Walnut
~4 Street would be stub~ended at ~hs terminaLion adjacent to the Jefferson Street alignmente
:~~ ,
;, Mr~ Saffell stated he was only interested in protectin9 his frontage interest, anr' he was
~~ not generaily opposed to the Jefferson-I.inda Vista precise alignment.
Mro Roy Soiomon, 219 West Hardy Street, In9lewood, appeared before the Commission in
opposition, stating that in addition to a iot tc the west of the proposed alignment, a
small corner would remain after the precise alignment cut across the eastern section of
' his p•roperty, rendering tliai section almost valueless for development; that he had received
a notice from the Orange County Board of Supervisors relative to their meeting and had
attended it, but before he could understand all the proceedings, the action had taken place
relative to the precise aiignmenty and inquired why the Commission had no~ considered a
layout of the alignment in grid squares from north to south and east to west to eliminate
the hisection of his properiy so thar a portion of it was rendered useless for sale for
industrial. purposes:
The Commission 3dvised Mr. Soiomon that at the General Plan amendment hear:ng, three plans
were submitted, and from evidence submitted to the Commission, it was felt one plan offered
the least amount of damage to properties in thet area and was favored by tlle Road Commission
as weil as tFe Engineering Department.
Mr~ 5am Nurwitz~ 100 VJPSt Chaprr,an, Orange, appeared before thP Commission in opposition
to the proposed alignment, staiing that his property would be completely bisected by the
proposed .?efferson alignment, since this wouid mean he would lose approximately 25% of
his property for development; that he was in favorof using the grid squar~ plan of alignment,
namely, extendina Jefferson to La Palma and then routing the traffic on Wainut Street
westerly to Linda Vista S~reet - this, then, would offer the least amount of loss of
potential development of industrial property in the area for all concerned; that he had
purchased the property many yeazsagoin anticip~tionthe property would have considerable
value, and he had not received a notice from the Board of Supervisors relative to the
hearing, at which time the IIoard of Supervisors adopted the precise alignment; and that
although the City had adopted a general alignman±, it was not too late to correct an
error, and he knew Supervisor Phillips wouid have concerned himself considerably more
with the precise alignment if his attention had been drawn to it by the property owners
involved
The Comrrission, in reviewir,y the precise alignment, stated limited access was available
to provide streets crossing the Santa Ana River; that the proposed alignment would cross
the railroad tracks at a less strategic point and would also be a shorter route to facili-
tate the fiow of traffic, since a 90 degree intersection would deter an ev=n flow of traffic.
Mr, Hurwitz then stated ti:at che future flow of traffic was only one factor-the Commission
should take in±o consideration the ~.~~r•ing of the property owners; that it would be some
years before the widening oi .Teffer. ~~ Street took place; that Walnut Street dead-ended
at Autonetics; that Walnui, Street might be consi9ered an impoztant street to provide
another access poir.t for employees of Autonetics; t:~at the railroad tracks must be con-
sidered because it would be impossib!e to move them eut of their existing area; and that
he felt the proposed precise alignment was not taking the property owners in the area
into consideration by bisecting their lande
~ Mr> Don Burgess, Planning Engineer for the Countv of Orange Road Department, appeared
before the Commissicn and stated the opposition came as a complete surprise; that it was
his impression the many difficulties had been resoived by the Anaheim Plar.ning Commission
and the Orange County Planning Commission before the County started consideration of the
' adoption of the precise alignment before the Board of Supervisors; that the przcise align-
ment had been under discussion and survey with the City of Anaheim for four years; that
because the City, in the pasc, was not in agreement with the County findings, any improve-
ment of Jefferson Street had been by-passed; that Jefferson Street was considered a primary
* road in the County and could never meet the projected traffic impact. from the Riverside
~ Freeway intersection; thaL ihere were only a certain number of points vahere roads could

cross the river; that the proposed alignment would connect with Rose Drive in Yorba
Linda and Tustin Avenue in Orange on the south; that purtions of Rose Drive were presently
under construction; and any continuation of improvements of Jefferson :,tra~t would be held
in abeyance until consideraiion was made favorable as far as the pro;-i,ed or any other
alignment was concernedo
Mre Hurwitz then stated, in f~is opinion, the property owners were being penalized and
asked too great a price to ~r~~•ide an even flow of traffic, and it would destroy the
property value of the industr':al ~*operty in the areae
in response to questioning by Mre Solomon relative to the suggested plans, Mr. Grudzinski
advise~ the Com~ission that three alternatives were presented at the general alignment
Generai Plan public hesring; that before the Planning Commission had considered the general
alignment, the County Road ilepartment had been contacted to make a study on the possible
location of the curve north of Orangethorpe; that the northerly curve would pass through
existing oil fields and grades which would be an exorbitant cost to pay for providing
the alignment throuqh the oil fieldsf that the other alternative provided for a junction
of the alignment of Mira~uma Street and the railroad t:acks at a triangular section
which would also be prohibitive for routing traffic; tha± the proposed precise alignment
would provide the least expensive and affect fewer property owners to carry tt,e projected
traffic volume and to function as a primary highways that all this information had been
presented to the Commission and Councii, and that th~ design study would coincide with
the genera~ alignmen*_~
Mra Donald Pierotti, 501 Si. John Way, Placentia, appeared before the Commission and
stated he owned property at the juncture of the proposed alignment and the existing
Jefferson Street, and he assumed the reason for utilization of the curve at that point
was because he had dedicated 53 feet of his land at the tim•~ he had considered industrial
development of his property; that he had never requested this property be returned to him
since the industrial plans did not materialize; that the traffic flow from and to Auto-
netics during certain hours of the day was almost unbearable; that La Palma Avenue and
Jefferson St*eet sho:~:d be designed to carry the traffic; and that provision should be made
for additional streets, ratner than the relocation of existing old streets.
Considerable discussion was neld by the Commission relative to all the opposition being
presented at this heariny, when less opposition had been presented at the ~eneral Plan
hearing; that the proposed al:gnment was not sacred and could be reconsidered; that re-
gardless of what plan was adopted eventually, and developed, property owners in that area
wouid be affected adverseiy; tnat the proposed precise alignment affected the fewestnumber
of people in the area; that other streets in the area had originally been considered to
align with streets to the souihy but changes i~ad been made because of studies and concern
of the property ownersy and valid consideration should be given to the concern of the
property owners~ It was iurther recommended by the Commission that the property owners
opposing the precise alignmeni should contact the County Supervisor of their district
to n.ake known t~~eir feelings :eyarding the alignment, and to determine what his position
might be ssfar tis *_he reconsideration by the Orange County Board of Supervisors,
After some discussion by ~he Commission relative to reconsldering General Plan Amendment
No~ 20 for the generai aiiynment of Jefferson and Lind.: Vista Streets and requesting that
the Staff present additional information, Commissioner ~owland offered a motion to continue
the public hearing of th~ adoption of the precise alignment of .Jefferson and Linda Vista
Streets be*ween Orangethorpe and La Palma Avenues to the meeti;ig of Aprii 26, 1965, to
allow time for the Staff co assemble all documentary evidence and contact the County
relative to any -~~ditional evidence that might substantiate or invalidate the precise
alignment study, Further, ihat. the Planning Department re-advertise General Plan Ai.iend-
n,ent Noo 20 for public hearing Lo reconsider the general alignment of Jefferson and Linda
Vista Streets, said rehearing to be scheduled concurrently with the precise alignment on
Aprii 26, 1965„ Commissioner Camp seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

Grace Elizabeth Dickerson, Petitioner - Consideration of revised plans~
Zoning Coordinator Robert Mickelson reviewed for the Commission past action on Reclassi-
fication Noo 64-65•-66 and Conditional Use Permit Noo 659, noting that since the Commission
had made their recommendation of disapprovai to the City Council revised plans were sub-
mitteda Further, because said plans were substantially changed from those originally
submitted, the Council had referred the plans to the Commission for reoort and recommendationo
Mro Robert MacMahon~ agent for the petitioner, advised the Commission that in addition to
s reduction of one~-third of tne original density proposed, that the Council had requested
tt~at the agent explore the possibility of having an access to Lincoln Avenuz to offset

been made and it was determined that access could be provided to Lincoln Avenue, but this
was not indicated u:~ the revised plans,
The Commission then reviewed the revised plans and noted that although a substantial change
was evident, nothing h3d been done to alleviate an untenable condition of subjecting the
single-family residents to the east and west of the proposed development to traffic noises
at the front and rear of their properties; that subject property was developable for R-1
subdivision using the lot widths and square footage of adjacent properties; and if any
consideration shouid be made, ihe residents of the area sf~uld be present to indicate
their opinion of the revised plans.,
