uwned i'ive truak~ whioh were u~ed ror sdr•vioin~r in tho :fiold.
In response to questioning by Commisa:iurio~ .~ King and Herbst, ~~Ir. Van Eck stipula.ted thai;
their own truaks and ~t;hose vohio].e~ to be servioed and/or rep~ired would be stored withi,l
the boundaries of the sub~ect proper~ty; and that they wo~ald conduc•L• mechanio~,l c•epair and
maintenanoe worl; only e~nd would not ooz,cl~~ct body work on 3aid trucic~. He fur•ther stated
the tru~ks would be the large diesel type, approximately 13 feet high, and he stipuiated
Liiat said truoks would not be stored n~x~t to the fonoa pd~scont to Tustin or Mlrsloma
Avenues and thai; said truoks would not be visible above the fence from those streets.
r,ommi~sionor Herbst notc~c? triat i;ho suUjeot 1oQation had o great deal oP expusuro, being a
ooi~ner peruel in i;he industrisl aree; that, from experier~oe, truok storage yards in
the industrial areas had been less i;han desirable becav.se of the l~ok of appropriata
screening; +~nd that tie was par.tiaular7.y oonoerned a1cnF~ Tustin Avenue. He turthAr not,ed
that the properi~y should be oompletoly enolosed by the redwood or oedar sl~ttc~d ahftinlink
fonoe and, addition~lly, that heavy landsaaping oonsisting oi a type of Cypre3s +,roe :,hould
be required to adequately soreen tl-Ae outci~or use of the property.
Chairman Farano noted that he had not understood that the prapo~al was for diasel-type
trucks, but for vans, etc.; and he questioned i~ Mr. Van Eck was an ~uthorized i•epair
dealor. Mr. Van Eok i~eplied that he was not an authorized repaiz• dealor; that he had
been in operation iri the area for approximatelJ 10 years and weW presently ].ooated in the
City o~ I'ullerton; that so~ne of the fle~ts he would serviae would be the iurd van ~nd
others would be the lar6or diesol rlgs; and th~1: i;hey hoped to purohase the property.

parked on the sd,jaoent stree~ts and that all phases of tho operation ::uu'ld be oonduated
inside the bounda^ies of tho site.
Coaunis ~ior.ier Moi~ley questioned the nUmbei• of em~,loye~r~~ for tho proposed operation, and
Mr. Siege~.e stipulated they would havn ~3 masimum of 11 employeas at the ~ub~ect loca~tion.
Mr. Siegele ;aes+.ioned the timinR for complet,ior o.f. the Interdepartme.ntal Committee reoom-
moildations outlined in tile Staff ~eport , ste.ting that he would liko to bogi.n moving onto
th: site immedie,tely; whereupon, Deputy City Attorney I~rank Lowry advised that Mr. Siogeia
should oc~ntact the IIuilding Division and Fire Department for i.nformatioii and possiL-le
alearanae conoernirig the safel;y of the existing struatuz•os, and that all Of 'tI16 rec~o;,~men-

the dat,e of approval, tYie petitioner wou'lcl be reqtiired to make application for an extensioz,
af ti.me to d~ so, or said approval would become null and void.
In response i;o quest;ioning by Commissioner King, Offiae ~ngin6ar ~lay Ti.tt~s advi:;od that
the dedioa~tion e~ong Santa Ana Street and Atohison Street had not beem m~ce to-aate, ~nd
the exi.sting buildings were or..~ ioot from tt~e au.rrent property ii~«; however, in thb eveni;
the existing buildit~gs ad,je~oent to those ~Lreet~ were removed or remodeled, the dedioation
would be rsquire~ e~t ~hat time.
Commissior.or Herbst noted that, if approved, a t~ime ll~nitatior. skiould be affixed, ~inoe
p~r•. Siegele's pa~st oper~tions in the City had croated problems, and saoh e~ppruval would
eiiable the ope.ration to oo• inue as long a~, tho property was kept alean and wa:~ not detr9.-
mental to the area. Chaiz•man Farano added that ~che total aperation was raqui~ed is~ t~e
oonduotsd within th~ four wall~ of the pro;~erty~ and, if the si;orage and/or parktng of

poor location, as far as visibi.lity was r.~nceri~dt that the existin~l siqns merely
advised of the daily specials at the marlet xn~ none of the other merchants in the

supporting the petitioner in the subject request; Lh,'t the signs were o~ned by 'the
petitl.oner (drawin~n wer.e ~r.esented of Raid signg and :he~.r loGati~ns) t tt~at the Sign
Ordinance should provi3e authority to find exceptions :o tl~e rules; that the
Ordinance was obviously for the beautificaL•ian of the citv and to not obstruct or bQ
unsightly; and that the sui~jeut siqn , ciici not nJ38 any garticul.ar rroblem to the
City- 'the othec merchants in Y.he area, or the c~nsumers and, the~:efore, the variance

Although the Staff Raport to the Planning Commisaion was not reacl at th~ mc~eting, said
StafE Roport is referred to and macle a part uf th~e minutas.
Ftr. Tom Baine, r~p.re~enr±ng thQ agont for th6 Petitioner, appearad b~fore the nlanning
C~~mQnission and took axcepLion to Condition No. G contai.ne~l in the Staff RepoTt and sta~•ad
that although they fclt the storm drains wero ntcos~ary, the cost would burd~,i his client
to a substantial extont„ M~:, Bainu discusaed tho cul:ic teet oE water wl~ich aould be
drairiing trom the subject proper.ry ancl ~~hich, in his opini.on, '~ras extremaly sninimz.l or
immeasurr~le to the downstream weters.
Chairman Faranc r.~ted t`~at the discussi~n concerninq drainage was substaT~tially technic~?
and, regardles5 of. the action taken hy the rilannin~l Commission on the suk~:jeot tract, he
would recomrnend that, since the Plannin~.~ Commission was a recommending body concerning
tracts, the petitionor. pre~are any a:-gument again3t the drainage requicemeni:s and present
same to CiCy Staff For presentntion to the City CouncilJ and, further., he did not feel
knowledgeabl.e to discuss the technical aspect5 of drainage.
Office EngineFr Jay Titus advisec3 that the drainage rec~~air.emen~s far the subject ar._.z were
developed many years ago to take care of the situntion~ wl~ich arose from develoY~•~ent.
Deputy City Attorney Frank Lowry further advised that ':hc particular drainsge :qu~rement
being d+_scussed was drawn up at the r.ec{uest of the peralta Hillg Homeowners Association
xnd he assum~d that the ori.ginal owners of the subject proPer.ty were members of said
as3ociation.
Commissioner Barnes noted that the drainage receptacle for the suk+ject dev< opment co~sld
probably b~ of less dimension than proposed on the b3sis that the AnahPim E~i1Js de~•elopers
were bringinq drainage down to the Santa Ana River and t11e s~lbjer.t cleveloper should be
able to tie into that drainage linef whereu~n, Mr. Titus advised that if. the Anaheim
Hills developers started their proiect first, they would be re~~uired to install the
ultima'te size and then th~: ~ubject developmen~ could tie into that li ~e~ l:owever, if• 'the
s~ibject development was congtructed first, the subiect property oW~ner ;aould ..ave to
install the ultimate Gize, etc.
2n respcnse to questioning by the Planning Commission, Mr. I~owry advisecl that a public
heari.ng was scheduled before the City Council on September 2, 1975, to consider and
establish drainage as^ ,sment fee3 and t11at matter was not the same as what was being
discussed.

st~ted t, City Engine^r had shawed the developeis s~uc7i.~~> of four di.:fere~~t altgnments.

nuise factu: in the bac};yards of thr_ }iomes adiacent to the railroad; that t11e Commission
had been very emphatic abcut the noise factor and wantecl the tiame, t.o be livable~ and that
the iss~:e at hand was the noise }~arricr.. In response. Mr. Sant~ statecl a noi.se barrier had
been desiqned and since the r.ailroad would not permit t',ie fill L•o be ~n their property,
thc~ developer coul.d mo•ve the barri.er onto the su'.~ject proF:er':v an addxtion:~l 30 feet which
would create a v~lley between tJie rai~.road an~~ t}le s~il~jert ~r.o~~ertyT ar.d that, however, iF
the fill was allowed to b` placed on the railroad oroperty, the County would not allow
eaid f3.11 to bc remov~d at a 9~-c?egrec angle, for instance.
Chairman Farano noted :hat somc de~7ree of per^ianency for tl~e wall needed to be apparent to
satisfy the intent of apl~rov~~l.
Office Fngineer Jay Titus adviseci that if the toe of. the berm hit natural gzound at the
railr.oad Property line, it ~c~.~~d be lower than the pads or tract elevati~m and therc: would
be no place to drain t^.e deF~re.sions; that the revi3e~1 plans, as submitted, in~icated that
the developer would be placing part of. the berm on the railroad property. Pii. Sant then
explained that the previous plans were with the wall sitting ori the propertv line and one-
half og the berm was on the railroad pr.operty, along witY~ the drainage facilitfesi ar-d
that since that arrangement could not be consutt~nated to the agreemei,t of b~th thQ City and
the railrosd, they were now proposing that the berm, the wall, and the p~pe for drainage
underneath the wall be p).aced on the sub ject property a-~d the de•~eYoper would than get an
encroachment permit from ~he rail.road t~ place fi~l on the railroad side of L•he property.
Mr. Titus £urther adviaed that if the Eill rras ever removed~ Yhe develogesr would ~:robably
be roquired to ronstruct A xetaining wall.

(RI:VISI~*I NO5. 1) - Re~uest for claritication concerninq parki.ng.
Chairman i~arano noted that dtiri-Zq the Planninc~ Cammi.ssion p~zt~l.ic hear.inR on Auqu~t h,
1975, in connecti.on with the sub~er_t mattcrs, there was a stipulation by the developer
that a tokal. of 7Fi-~ parking s~aces trould be prnvided in tho subject tractsi however, in
checkinr the dimensions on the plar.n, StaL•F was re})ortiny that 125 or 1G~ of the proposed
parking sPaces did not meet the Code standards and furthnr clarification was deemed
necessary. He Curther noted that since the numbE r of parking spaces proposed excaeded the
requiremsnts for the zone, thc Planning Commissian had £el.t a trade-off existed for the
shortcomings of some of the other features of the proposal~ and that it ap~~.ared the
Commission could make no assumptions, but hal to be vcry specific in its considerations
and diacussi.ons.
in response, Mr. Jim ChY•istensen, representing tY-e developar (~4atreyek Homes, Inc.),
appeared before the Plannin9 Commi~sAon and indicated tha± t2-ie nbsence of homeowners in
oppositian to the revised plans was an ind~.catiom that the propo=+a1 w3s more acceptable
than originally proposed~ and t.hat the front-on uarages with 19-f.oot driveways would be
equipped with automatic roll-up type garage doors, as indicated in their letter to the
City dated Augu3t 14, .1975. Fie reviewed certain elements of their proposal which included
the sale of the park site ta the City and the req~~irement to pay drainage fees to the
cities of Anaheim arid Fullerton ar:d tYie State o£ California, and staL-ed those elements
would increase the ~rice of e3.:h of the homes in the projecc approximately $E3,OQ0 each.
Mr. Cr~ristensen then 3tated t}icy were pz'oposir.g tu meet and exceed the requirements of an
RM-SOno ~3evelopmsnt.
Connnissioners Herbst and Tolar indicai:ed that the tandem parking in the driveways which
were shart~~r than 25 feet was not permitte~3 and, although there were pa•rkinq spaces
prc>posed in exce~s of the rpctuirements for the RM-4000 Zone, th~ devPloper was trying to
have a project with RS-7200 ame~itiest and, therefore, a atipulation apPeare~i to be
nec~essary that i.n those instances wherc tl~e driveway~ here 19 ~eet to less than 25 feet in
length, operable automatic vehicle acces~ door opener.s would be provide~d. Thereu~n, MY.
Christensen so s~ip~~lateci, and the Planning Comrnission generally cor.curred that said
stipula*_ion woulc' meet the intent of the Commission'r act~.on of Auqust A, 1975 in
connection wi.th the subject• vaziance and tiracts .
