Aasiatant Zoning Supervieor Annika Santal.ahti read the SCuff Report to the Planning
Commisaion dated J~ine 10, 197A, and satd SCaff Report ia ref•erred to as if set forth
+.n full in the minuCea.
Mr. John Mi.llick, representi•~~ the property owner, appe~red before the Comaaission and
atated they were :eq~~eating down-~~ning frora t'~e unita proposed under the Zoning Glement
or General. 1'lan Amendment No. 123-A, from a potentfal. 2a0 units to 73 units; and that the
;r~oosed density was 2.5 unita per ar.re.
~4r. James Rogera, repr.esenting Westfield Dev~lopment Company, the deyeloper, appeared
before the Commiasion and atatPd the proposed pro~ect would be an exr.ension of thetr
existing tract to the easC; that they were alsu the developers f.or the ~~t~~rCment property
to the west. of t}ie prupoaed devel.opment; that the varian~es being ~requested were necessary
ia order tn develop the sub~ect prop~rty as an extenaion of the development to the east
ar.d all of said variances were requested and granted for Tract No. 8215. He pointed out
t`~at there was considerable distance between the dwelling units and a tremendous amount of
open ep~~ce.
Mre. Mary Dint~dorf, 131 La Paz Street, Maheim~ Praeident uf the Santa ~1na Canyon Home-
ownera Improvement Asaociation, appeared before the Commission anc; s:~ted the developer
should be r~yuired to meet all of r.he deve?opment standards even t~us~. thEre was con-
siderable distance between the home~; that there were too many drlveiaays coming into the
cul-de-sac which was bad; that wany buyere wanted cul-de-sac lots and fo• that reuson it
was to the advantage of Che developer to have se many homes ot- a cul-de-:ac as poesible,
but for parking automobiles it was not ao good; that some of the requestc3 variar.ces Here
too much but if the developer hai the extra land beCween the homeo they s;ould use some of
that land to reduce the number of variances,
In rebuttgl, Mr. Rogere statEd Mra. Dinndorf's xE•action w~s natural since :~vone who had
not completely analyzed what had been dune would object; that hie feeling was ~.`At the
variance^ were more th~n ~uatif•led duE ~o t.he ahape of ti~e property involved, etc.; that
all of the homes on the cul-de-sacs were pie-shaped ~.~d would have a tXemendous view; that
the bu~lding line of all the lots was in excess of 60 feet wi9e; that the cul-de-eac loea
yuickly widened at the redr; that regat.fing pa=king 1.n the cul-de-sa~c~, lhE driveways were
extended or extra long an~. many of tho~~ howzs had tht•ee-ca.r garages; and C~~aC ttiere was
room for zt least aix .:ft--atreet ~arking sPacas £~Y each oi the homea on ihe cul-de-sac,
in most ~ases.
Mrs. Jean Moxr•ls, 40U Torrey Piner~ Circl~, Anahc:~n, appeared befora the Commisaion in
oppusition to sub,jec* petition and stated she acrongly diyRpproved Ai~~:c the 1onP drive-
ways and three-c~.: garagea were incrediblc: aoluttoas, in her opina~n, to :he parking

In reply l•o questioning by Commiseioner lierbst regarding whut would hsppen if Aomeone on

~f the parking needs and some of the care ,:~+t~ld probably liuve to par.k down the atreet in

Commise~.oner Nerbsk noted that. with Che cul-de-eacs completel~~ cut up with drivewayP,
there waa nu place on the aCreet in frunt of the cul-de-an~ ce to purk; snd Mr. Rogers
cei.terated that Chey l~ad made up for the variancea by huv. , diotunce between the home~.
In reply to questioning by L'ommisaioner Herbst, Mr, Ro~ a stated the percentage of under-
sized lote ir~ width was prohably 75X of the developmer~ ; that the ma,jority of the lota
wer~ uuder '10 feet wide but there were other thinge ~:-t were '~u~r. as importanC, such as
the diatance be.tween th~ homes and the reasons for ~e walvere.
In reply ta queati.oning by Commissioner King, Mr. ~togera staCed the lenar number of cara
that could be parked on the lots, including the _se of the garages, was four on the cui-
-sacs and othera would be froin five to eight cars.
Chairman Gauer noted. £ur the Commiseion that he did not believe cl,e guest parking problem
cauld ever be solved unleas there was a parking lot.
Commiaeioner Compton uoted for the Cownisslon that it appeared that putCing seven homes on
the cui-de-sac was crowding ~~i too many homes.
Mr. Rogere atated that given another set of circumstancea~ the parlcing situatlon might be
a problem but not with the proposed homes and plan for the sub~ect development.
CaA.miesioner Nerbet noCed for the petieioner that he had no ob~ection to the flag lots as
long as they did n~t cr.owd anyone and, in hi.s opiniotc, the propuaed plan crowded the
property, however, with some minor changPs iC could be corrected, i.e., reducing the
number of luts; that ther.e was no hardehip demonstrated; that stretching out the lets
would help correct the cul-de-s:ic situati.on; that it appeared the developer wus trying to
develop an R-], tract but did not want to uae R-1 standarda; that the proposaJ. would set a
precedent; that larger lots in the hill and canyan area would not hurt; and the propoeed
loka were too narruw.
Mr. Millick ~hen requestied a two-week continuance in order to review the praposal in line
with the remarks made by the ~''Lar.ni:-g Commi~saion at this meeting.
Co,nmissio~~er. King offered a aor:un, sec~nded by Commi~sioner Herbst and h10TI01G CARRIED

Four peraons indicated their presence in opposition to sub~ecC petitl~ne and £orthwitti
waived the f+~ll reading of the Staff Report.
Although the StaEf Report to the PZanning CommiRaiun dEted June 10, 1974 wae not xead at
the public hearing, it is referred Co and madp n part of the minutea.
Mr. Lewis R. Schmid, the petitiuner, appeared before the Commiesion and eta~ed the plane
had beEn reviaed eliminating the need for waiyer of the minimum lot width on a cul-de-aac
and mir~imum width on interior loto.
Mrs. Mary Uinndorf, Presldent of the Santa Ana Cssnyon tiomeownera Improvement A680C~.AC~GT1~
appeared before the Coauaiesion in oppoaition to subject petitiona and ~tated ahe was
concerned about tl~e rraffic build-up in t:he ~ubject arex; that she was eapeci.~lly con-
cerned about the traFfic on Nohl Ranch Road with Che contiizued development and th~ schools,
since the other streete in the area woul.d not be completed for some time to come.
The other~ preacnt in opp~eition indicated they wer.e opposed prior to the revised plans.
There being no rebuCtal, THF PUSLTC HEARI;IG WAS CLOSED.
Commlasion~r Compton inquired wl~y ttie developer thought it wae tiecessary to bring the
6-foot wall to [he side property line rathex than providing the aetback, and Mr. Schmid
stated the buyers would ask for the variance so tt~ey r_ould use the side yard. Upon
further inquiry~ Mr.. Schmid etated the wall would not obstruct the view of the houae in
any way.
Commisaioner King i.nquired if Mre. Dinndorf had any auggnstions for s~.o~_ng down the
traffic in the area and she replied that in the hill area the developers had been allowed
to install nurrow etrc:ets h~td with parking ~~n Che atreets, r.hey should on3.y be used for.
one•way traffic; thr~t it would talce time to get all of the streets in but she would_l~ke
to aee more atreetd :~nd the dralning c~nditions taken care of before constructfon o
projecta; that it had appeared that iti mar~ cases in thc: past the developwenta were con-
structed and the problema were aolved aYter.:~?rds; that with all thc~ develo?ment in th2
area there w:~e a~roblem with relationahip to the ficod plain; and thai !3oh1 Ranch Road,
in some in~~an~es, ahould be made almost a f:eeway.
Nr. Glen Salebury, H111crest Drive, Anaheim, appeared before the c:ommission and inquired
what protection a property owner would have to keEp hia view frur~, being destr.oyed by new
deve~opment such ae the one be•ing proposed. He atr-ted the.re were a number of view lota
which may loau their vi.ew when the subject development was conatructed, e»pecial2y if
fences were included.
Deputy City Attorney Frnnk Lowry sta~ed he was not aware of ar.y ordinance that would
~~rotect the h~+aeownera mentioned by Mr. S~elebury; however, the CCbRa gave such protection
in some casee; and that ch~ or.iy ~rdinance related to the situction limited conetrucCion
to two-story or 35 Feet !n a residenCial area.

Commisaioner tlexbst Chen noted tha~ the open spaca !n the proposed ptio~ect was not usab'le,
except vieibly, us n trade-aff~~ and Mr. Smith etnted there waro other opinione in that
regard.
In repl~y to questioning by Cl~airman Gauer, Office Engi.neer .Jay TiCus advised tl~at the
horizonta'. alignment of Fairmont Boulevard waR pratty fi~:m in tha mind of tha Eng:ln~e:ring
Di.vision ak the present time, how~ver, the vor~ical alignment er profile was not; and that
easements were necessatiy Eor. the uukeide lirnita of the slopes.
Deputy City Attorney Frank Lowry advir:ed the Comniseiun thut the preciae alignmAnt oF
Fa~'m~iit Buulevard had not been presented oz~ acted upon to this part•l~ular time; tliat
until •lt was preeented and accepted by the City Council, there wus not r~ precise plan; end
that the coiidition of appcoval set forth in the Steff Report made the pro~ect subject to
the prc~cise alignment .rhen accepted.
Mr. Titus further clari.fied Chat the alignment indicated on Che proposed pl.ana £or devel-
upment would be the f inal alignment and t~ha t ttie vertical ~elavations ~rere yet to ba
determined to satl.Afy Che outer limite of the s~opes; and tha~ the green area to be taken
in woul.d be determined by the profile also.
In reply to que~tioning by Co~mni.oaioner Herbet, Mr. Titus adviasd that some af khe open
space would be represented in the sl~pes of the road; that he could nat give a time wlien
the prof ile would be ready but that he was hoping Che right-of-way could be obtained
without Eoing to tl;e Ci.ty Council.
Mr, Smith stated the developer had been in discassion with.Mr. Ti.tus and would grant the
easement baeed un the horizontnl alignmec-t; and that t'hey would be discuasing the vertical
alignment.
Commiesioner. Compton noted fram the Staff Report that the petitioner was requeating to be
incorporated in the Moh1eY Dri.ve Study Ares to be able to have gr~vel on. th~ sides of the
streets and that wiChout standard curbs and guttera, the cantrol of drai.nage wou].d be
impaired and atreet sweeping wauld be more difficult, as well as delineation c.f clie atreet.
Mr. Smith stxted he hud an o~en mind regardiug the street improvements alttiough hs would
probably debate the mntter with Staff; and that in aome areas he was surc, Chey would have
curbs and gutters but in so~e ,~reas they coul.d be el:iminated.
Coaaraisaioner Compton noCed thar. at the public hearing on MArch 18, i9%4 there was some
coaanent about tr.aversing the property ratYzer than providing a bridal path along tlie east
end, and Mr. Swith stated they had come to the conclusion that it would be to nu avail
since 't would be taking people into areas where there were no facilities.
In reply to queationing by Coisni..s~oner Herbot, Mr. Smith atated that the l.ot deaignated
for the maintaining of. horses would p:obably use the atre~ete io get to the trails ae
others in the area did.
Commisaioner Compton noted that he had voted against the pro~ect when it was Eubmitted
previouAly but not necesearil.y because it wns not a besut:lful pro3ect; that i.t looked like
something that could be a vary nice pro~ect, howaver, the.ne was no f ixm alignment of
Fairmont Boulevard~ that the prohlems regarding the co~mon areas had not been reaolved,

that the area wou:d be developed r.esidential; that if the proposal was appruved a traffic

In rabuCtal. Mr., Flores s~t:uted hc intended tu uae the rec+r af the properry tor off-c~CreFt

d~gs ta protect the ealva~;e; that the aulvag~ would be kept in order at al.l ~ime+~ Fxt

know why Clie Toyota der~l.eYahip thuught the prapoeal would hurt taeir bueinese; that where
the old laundry/cleaners had been locaked, r.here were wrecked cara there and he had never
ob~ected to that; that the Anaheim Ru1leCin had paper. bl.owing in the area wliich he tiad
been i~icking up; and that he inCended to keep up hia property in a nsat mnnner.
THE PUBLIC HI:ARING WAS CLOS~D.
In reply to questioning by Commisaioner King, Mr. Flores etipulated that the motorcycles
would not ba atacked and that there would be no sPlLing o.f purtg, and the exieting and
proposed chain:link fencea would be acreened wlth redwood slats.
In reply to quec~tioning by Commissi.oner Herbst~ Mr. Flores stipulated there would be no
dismantling of the motarcycles and the wrecked motorcycles would be brought [o Che sub~ect
property for storage for 1.neurunce purpoaes.
Zoning Supervia~x Charlea R~~berts made nn observalion thnt th~ proposar appeared to be
more uf a storage and impo.ind yctrd than a salvage yard.
ln re~?;~ r~~ queat~oning by (:hr-irman Gauer, Mr. Flores atated the bidder~ would buy the
dc~uoliahed motor.cycles "as i.s" snd Che motorcycles wauld not be ter~ted to see if they
operated or were functional; that some o£ the bids would be thraugh the €lyers wt~ich
indicate the area on the motorcycles th~t was wrecked, i.e., the rear, front, etc.
In reply to queaCioning by Commiseioner Herbst, Mr. Florea indicated there would be ~wo
emp~uyees at the sub~ect location~ bsing his wife and himaelf.
Cormnissioner C~mpton questioned the referencE contained in [he Staff Report, page 1,
paragr.aph 6, thaC tt-e peCitioner had indicated a possibility that one of the ofiices might
be rented out and he inquired what type of tenant might be occupying thati epace. Mr.
Florea atated thrst the Cenant mighC be a draftsman or a real estate person.
Mr. Roberta pointed out that aince the subject property was in the M-1 Zone, the type of
uses would be strictly limi.ted; that a draftaman could probably fall within the scope of
an arr.hitectural or engineering flrm but other u9e~ not normally permitted in the r[-1 Zone
would require a conditional uae permit applic~ztion.
:Ir. Roberts thet~ questianed what the repair aapect uf the propoaed use entailed, and Mr.
Flores AtRted that hopefully he would fill his yard and would not have to go to repaira.
Thereupun, Mr. Flores stipulated that ther~ would be n~ repairs to the motorc.ycles per-
formed aC the ~ub~ect location.
The Plann~ng Commiasion entered inko discuasion with Mr. Flores regar.ding waiver of the

~ommisaioner Morley inquired if the ~tate would p].ace restrictione on the facllity 1E the

they would; that tlie State had a vast amount of federal funda to be placed in half-way
hu~aes and if this L•acility did not accept the funds, said funda would be ~ut in other
arear; however, the funds might destroy their purpoae.
Commissioner Morley made an obaervation that tl~e petitioner would need the State grant in

plumbing areas; that much of the buildimg wgs in v~olation o£ the Codes and it was rec•om-
mended by Staff that whoever would be doing Che corrective work ahc~uld correct the existing
violations prior co the granting of the subject conditional uae permit; that the work
nec~seary to bring the aCr.ucture i.nto cowpliance with the Building Codea for a change in

that there were sp,e ,attreases that leaned on the block wall on the pr.operty line which
loosened the wall; rhat tl~e men had becom~e angry and stated if her huaband ever put hia
atm over the ~eace they would braak it o£f; that there was indeed more than 20 men at the

up the subJect property; that Lt would be nice if everything was on tne up-and-up buC ehe

Mr. Steve Wariirr appeared before the Crn~ission and stated he was the manager of the

logically and an alcohollc could not be cured by a ehot in the arm.
In reply to questioni.ng by Chuirman Gauer, Mr. Warner etated the men held jobs durt.ng the

Cammiseioner Morley noted that Ctie haif-~aay house was for the alcoholic who wss out of the

go home they had Co fa.^.e other pr'obleme; and he felt atrongly that the facility was a good
thing.
Comomiesioner Compton concutred in Commisaioner Morley's statementa but queaCionEd if the

Ur. Theodore J. 'Ckach, thF petitianer~ uppeared before the Commigsi.ou and eCated during
L•he publia heari.ng for Variance No, 190b in 1y67, he recalled Ck~are was some discuesion
regarding Che dental usage~
THE PUAI.IC HEAkING WAS CI pSEU.
In response to questioning by Comtai9eioc-~r Herbat, Dr. Tkach atated ther: wae vacnnt r~om
in the subjec:t buildln~ r~s thP optical leboratory and unother Iaboratory ware no longer
tl~ere; that at one time thare were four partners snd presently Chere were. Cwo parCnera;
and that thc sp~ce was the sume.
Commission~ar HerbaC noted that the proposal appeared to need more parking spaae~ and the
petitioner atat~d the dental aervice staggered their haur~+ w~th the opticul service; that
parki.ng wras noC real.ly a probZem as there was a loi of par.k~ing per patient anr~ the services
were noC for the general public but were for groupa.
Commiseicner Herbst Chen noted that Che area was primaril,y indu~ ~1 and a` would not
appear 4o be xuitable for the pr.-posed operation, and the petii r statad ~uat the
operation had been at the sub~ect location for five or ~ix yeu..,.snd was a lar.ge group
practi+:e with four dentists.
Commii3sioner Herbet inqufred why Lhe petitioner did not choo~e a courmercial location and
Dr. Tkach stated tha,t he was noC the origin~l owner; that the original t~ao partners sold
out Co four parCne•rs und prPSently there were two partners; ttaat he was not awaze of tl~e
variance for the uae until the renewal of the busineas licenae i:~. 1974 and that was why he
was before the Commiasion at this time.
Chr•iirA,an ~s~uer noted for the petitioner that tlle Coarmission was concerned that khe use
might expand, and Ar. Tkach stated not in dental; that there wae vacant space for optical
and they were deairous of keeping the space quota the ~ame as it had been.
In reaponse Co queationing by Cammiseioner Merley, Dr. Tkach stated that Saturday was a
I~usy day for these servicea.
14r. Jamea Emmi~ the property owner, appeared before [he COII~1~R9j.011 and stated thaC the
original idea was to uae an indusirial bvilding where the renta would be low; thut the
lena gxinding operaCion proved to be ~neconoml.cal due to tha volume and that operetion was
reduced to nominal ,;'asa-fitting work only; that the design was tu incorporate the dental
fox the same type aervi.ce to groupa and they ha~t attained a building permit to aet up
additianal offi.ces; tllat he. understood that the origi:~al vsrianca was approved to permit
the dental o~erati-on and he was surpriaed that the matter was being recc+nsidered by the
Planning Coacoisaion; and that he had received a copy of the le~al notice in the mail. wh~ch
brought fC to hia attenL'ion. He iurther atated that Dr, Hahn whu occupied space in the
opti~al portion of the building predently had his busineas license and did not feel he
needed to be a paxty to the sub~ect petitioci; that the off-houre for the optical and
dental servicPS were staggered f.or parking reasone and the type of aervice Chat was nffered
~aaa keyed to off-houra and Satu~days for the w~orking people who wese unable Cc+ k~ep appoint-
ments dnring the wQek.
In reapanae to queationing by Coumnissioaer King, Mr. E~i stated that Dr. Hahn was re~ponei-
ble for the entire lear~a and whether the ent:re space wae used or not the lease atill had
to be p~id. Mr. ~mmi further ata~ that they would nut be expandiiig into the vacant

a Eavornble evolt~tion toward removiug aome of the bli.ghe cauaed by Che vacant site; that

and a developer was f.aced with unuaual problema in trying tu develop them with oth~r thar.
a~rive-thru type operation such as food~ drycleanera, dairies, etc.; that they were
hoping to construct a small garden-type office building and i.n order to do 9o they would
require the waivers being requested; that the proposal would set a precedent for other
similar aite: to be developed in the City; and that he realized the parcel was destined to
be commercial hu; iioped the variances could b~ worked oat favorably.
THE PUBLIC ti..Af:ING WAS CLOSFT .
In responae to questioning by Commissioner Herbet, Mr. White etated the type usPs might

£iced and thie would be aettit~g a pY~QC~:dent~ and Mr, Wl~ita ~tated that the proposed
structure would have no windowa on the rear since he did not want the teiiante .:o be ebi.e
C~ ]~ook i.nta the bnck yarda of rhe residential propertiae; and that there would be r~
parking lot between the proposad ~tructure and the resiclc~ntiul pr.operty linee.
In respunee ko quest•Loning by ~ommisaianpr Murley, Mr. White etipulatPd tt~ey would have no

In response Co comment by Commisei.oner Compton that the waivera would be aettinq a prece-
dent and the p•~rking might not be sufficient, Mr. White statr_d thaC the pzopoAal would be
opening the door for a much bettar use than had ex~etud on khis type pr.operty praviously
and he ur.deratood Che cancerne regarding the parking but whether it would be adequaka was
u~udgment or matter of opinion.
