t'he Commissi~~n aske:i Traffic Engine~r Paul Sinyer about the traffic generated from
a c~mmercial deveiopment versus apartment complex. with Mr, Singer replying that
commercial devel~~~ments generate two times as much tr~ffic.

not be required tn provide. He felt the project has been upgraded to g(ve property
owner5 as rnuch protection d~ possible.

William M. Clow, the petitioner, explained he had lived in Anaheim and had raised
his children in Anaheim. He explained he had acquired the property hoping to
develop it. the General Plan shows this site for medium density and that is what
he has tried to cio. Nis designer, Mr, Phelps was pr~sent to answer any questions.
Mr.Gerald Ghelfle, 4542 W. Simmons, Orange obtained 300 siqnatures for ~etitions
in six days opp~sing the requests. He ~bjected to the intrusion of multi far~ily
apartm~nts into sinyle fa~nily area. Ne read the cover letter of the petitiun
stating reasons for apposition, Hc felt traffic would be increased, the area
would be ov2rsaturated with prople with not enough schools, parks, ecc, He
felt this projece would affECt home values and reclassification ~f the zoning
would not be consistent with the zoning in the arPa.
Barbara Wohlt, 304 Bluebell Place, ~naheim, voiced concern about the schools
and problems they are already experiencin9 with the turn over in the sch~ols.
Rose Hindman, 501 E. Wilken Way, Araheim, sr.ated st~e was a Police Officer and
was aware of the crime nrablem created with too many Feaple in an area. She
was alsa concerned with the school problem and ~~ore buses being required to bus
the children to schools.
Mrs. Emma C. Mohler, 2230 S. Haster~ resident at that location for 27 years, was
concerned about maintaining the single family units and has seen the arfect
of apartments on the area. She felt Mr, Clow has the right to ask the C~ty to
change the zoning, buC the peaple living there also have right~, having signed
petititions and felt their democratic riyhts must be recognized. (Audie~ce applause).
Nick Netty, 11872 lst Street, Orange, attorney for a resident across the street
from the property~ referred to the regulations and stated it was feasible that
the owner could have single family homes on the property. He referred to
Section 18.030.40 and the one above it and stated if approved this could be
considered as granting a privilege to Mr. Clow.
RoberC Haislip, 2205 Anchor Street, Anahein;, objected due to the water shortage
already existing, running out of natural gas and energy, He felt the dense
population in [his area is not needed.
Carl Thisle~ adjacent property owner objected to having apartments on the property,

Jim Harris~ 13032 Simmons, Orange~ resldent across che street, referreJ to the
environmental impact report feeling the increase in traffic should be GonSidered
an adverse impact. (applause from audience),
Chairman Tolar pointed out tl~e Planniny Cormiiysion had not said there would not be
an adversP impact.
Donn~ Harryman,resident across the street from vacant property, v~+ced c~ncern
about (ncreased traffic ~nd parking problems.
Robert Schaeffer, 137 F.. Wilkin Way~ Anaheim~ objected to the overcrc~wded condition.
Some of his duplexes will abut ehe proJect and with two story uniks, privacy of
the duplexes~ will be invaded.
Mr.Phelps, 409 N. M;jin, Oran9e, designer of the project~ referred to the General
Plan of tF~e City of Ana~eim which shows thc arc~ for mediurr~ density with his feeling
that schaol impacts, parks, etc, had been taken in[o consideration at the time
the Geners~l Plan wa~ approved. He poin[ed out exist~ng adjacent 2-story units.
MR. Cic~w reported that his wife. had called the a~fected schools and wa~ toid
there would be one less teacher next ,ear due to [he turnover because of ;he
apartments and the school~ are not overcrowded.
The public hearing v~as closed.
Commissioner Herbst stated h~ fe~t this was a slight over-building of the site.
However, because of the surrounding multi-family units~ if it were cfecided thi,
should be all single family homes, then the people buying the hames would be
abuttir~g multi-family units, Ne felt single story garden type duplexes would
cut t.he density and traffic in half. He thought this parcel should be considered
as a transition area. Ne feit some multi-fart~ily unils are necessary to give
the young people a start.
Commissioners King and E3arnes agreed that the density shuuld L,e cut.
Commissioner Nerbst asked Mr. Clow for his thoughts on this propasal, Mr. Cluw
stated he felt this project would serve as a buffer between the homeowners and
apartments, that owner-occupied units are more desirable than apartments. He
felt this is a good project.
Commissioner Herbst sta[ed it is probabiy in the wrong location, He also expressed
concern about the traffic and the narrowness of the street.
Commissioner Barnes questiuned the Negative Declaration~ with the feeling that
there is a probler~ with scliools and traffic and wondered if an environmental
impact report should be recommended in this case.
Chairman Tolar stated he felt Item a5 was probably a fair request and he could
live with it~ but felt Item al3 would increase the traffic, He also felt the
two story ~nits would be an invasion of privacy.
