Judy Hut~hins, 2265 Goldenwest, Anaheim, presented a peti[~an with 59 signatures from residpnts in the immediate area opposing the request. She stated they werr aware of ~t~e need for homes like this. She stated t.hat none of the pcc~ple who had spoken for tl~e request lived in the neighborhood of the Boys Ranch.

Ken S[rickland, 2245 Crestwood, Anaheim, restated the druy problem in the neighborhood and pointed out lhe traffic problems. He suggested the Opiimist Club seek another location such as Cor~na, Norcc, etc. where the proper;y would be less expensive and he felt would be a better location.

Mr. Bushore explained there is a yard in the back, approximately 30'x75', with the a~dience responding that this was not the case. He stated the Optimist Club had offered to meet with some of the neighbars. He explained that the home is wanted in an existing neighbor- hood and not in a large area, fenced in, as suggested by ~ne of the opponents. It was his feeling that statements made by thase ir opposition were being made to try and decer the Optimist Club from putting the facility in their neiyhborhocd. 6-20-77 77-394 c~ • ~~ MINUTES, ANAHEIM CITY pLANNING COMMISSION, June 20~ 1977 17-395 EIR CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT ANQ CONOITIONAL USE PERMIT N0, 1709 (continued) Mr. Naraman stated that controry to wl-at had been stated by the opposition~ hc lived at the boys home witli 66 boys.

The staff report date~i June 20, 1977, to the Planniny Commiasion was read by Mr. Tashira. William eradley, the petitioner, stated he had ins[alled solar panels on the roaf of his garage and they are performing satistactorily and have saved abouc S10 to $40 a ir~ntli on his gas bill. He stated he felt he had taken the first stc~p to meet the requirements of savinq energy and is asking the City to [ake a second step by looking at che Cadr, and possibly amendinq it to stt the ground rules for others ~o install solar panel systems on any house in any area. He stated the reyui~ements for s~lar energy have been talked abaut by the President of the United States, t~ie Eneryy Cc~mmission. ehe Government~ Sacramento, Cities, even the City of Anaheim , that his yas bill includes SuggNS'ions that he should look for other sources to heat his pool. Mr. Bradley stated that after he had ins[alled the solar panels, a representative of the Architect~.~~~~1 Re~~~ew Cornm~ttc~e~ of the 6roadmcwr Northridge Community Association had visited hin~ and was rather upset that he hadn't gotten their approval prior to installa[ion. Mr. Bradley stated the neighbor~, next door really didn't want the panels moved. He stated thF representative frorn the Committee gave his verbal approval. Mr. 6radley pointed out the description of the panels in the staff repart was incorrect in that there were eight panels~ 8 inches +thick, but there is no steel rack holding them, they lay flat on the roof and are strapped to the roof. He stated tf~at. since all this began, he has recFived numerous phone calls, with some people in favor of the proposal and some threatening t~ come over and tear the panels off his roof and that this has been reported to the Police Department. Larry Mapes, representative of Fafco, the company which installed the solar panels, stated Fafco is the largest manuFacturer of solar heating equipment i~ the world for swimming pools; having install~d over I5.000 systems in the United Staces, 400 of which were installed in Orange County, same in Anaheim. He stated the Company is a pioneer in solar heating sys[ems and not a city in Orange Gounty has a comprehensive solar code. He stated the City of Los Angeles does have a solar code which includes swimming pools, and that most cities throughout Orange County accept the City of Los Angeles code as being quite a stringent code and as long as it is not in opposition to their local co:fe. He stated Fafco does conform to the City of Los Angeles Gode and the Uniform Plumbing Code. 6-20-77 17-398 r~~ MINUTES~ ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING CCMMIS~ION, June 20, 1977 77-399 EIR CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT AND CONpITIONAL USE PERMit N0. 1716 (continued) Mr. Mapes stated he hA~.+ been to the Planntng Department Just this afternoon~ but had not gotten any clear informatlon as to whether ur not permits are required to instali solar panels. He stated the Zoning Represent~itfve had first indicated that solar pan~ls don't work, which is contrary to what their company lias proven, and second that welght is a concern. He pointed out that for heating swimming pools, a lower water temperature is reyuir~d which reduces the weight factor. He stated the company makes every endeavor to insure that things are done according to local regulations, and that the gentlemen who had corie in~o the City offices to obtain permits had left with the idea :hat no permits were required. He stated the company would be happy to comply with the permit rNquirement if that is a condition of leaving th~ panels on the roof. lie stated the reason for the panels b~ing on [he front of the house was because tiiat was t.he most cast effective place to install them. Owen tlrown, f'resideni of Bro~dmoor Northridge Community Ac~nci~ri~n, F,b94 E. Paseo del Morte, Anaheim, stat.ed the Association is not against solar he~ting, that he personally has checked into solar heatlny far himself.and other mEmbPrs of the Association are interested in solar heating for themselves; [hat the Association is opposed to the methnds with which this construction prnje~t proceeded. He stated the contractor had said he inst~lled the heating panels even though he wasn't sure whether or not permits were required. He pointed out there are two conu~wnity pools merr~bers can use and some homeowners have not had swimming pools installed because of the energy crisis. Mr. Brown stated he liad contacted a consultiny engineer involved in solar heating and that this engineer had stated the design of solar heating systems is still in its infanc/; but that there are many different sysiems available and ic is now possible for salar panels to work ~lmost anywhere, on the ground, in the backyard, on the roof, exc. He stated tl7is engineer had generated 190~ with panels ar a 20~ angle at an exhihit recently and that this could be done with the panels at a 50° angle in the winter. He stated there are systems available that can be placed in the backyard, tandscaped for aesthetics and the panels cilted to catch the sun at various tin,es of the year and there are also systems designed for tile roofs. Mr. Brown stated the Architectura) Conmittee did not appi~ove this installation and it has not been appr~ved by the Ass~~iatior~. Ne stated that this City has a Code Co protect those people living in the Canyon and orher parts of the city, and felt the Cod~ should be followed; that there are other systems available for solar heating that would stay within the Code and the Association CCbRs. Jerry Fredrico,Envir•onrnental Energy Systems,Alhambra, stated his company distributes solar pa~els; that there are other systems avaiiable; that he had come to the meeting to offer his company's services to the Planning Commission in designing a comprehen~ive code to help those people who are interested in solar heating to decide on the proper system. Mrs. William Phillips, 482 S. Paseo Serena, Anaheirn, stated she was not from C,arden Grove; that she li~ied on the corner and c~uld see the panels on the Eiradley's horne whc:n she left her driveway. She stated she had noticed the panels at first, but now doesn't even notice the~n. She felt aeople should i~~r~i to live tagether and maybe the rules should be bent a little bit.

After long study, State suppart was received for the Scenic Corrldor with specific regu- lations to be upheld and hope uf receiving further State support for additiona) landscaping along Santa Ana Canyon R~ad and parks requires that the regu- lations are followed. He reported there are approximately 200 manufacturers of solar panel systems in the United States; that he had consulted with a solar physicist engineer who stated this is still in the infancy stages with designers attempting to design system5 that will do the Job for an ecanomical price. Commissioner Herbst felt since this installati~n is in the Scenic Corridur and people purchasing homes are paying ir-ore for view lats and do have CCbRs to yuicle thr_m, that something notaesthetically pleasing to the neiglibors should not be permitted; ll~at further study should ~e done by thc Comm'ssion. Hc suggested that recommendations from solar panel experts should be ~ought.and objectionable roof-mounted equipment that is offensive to the neighbors, or that might devaluate the ~~roperty or be detrimental to the ncighborhood,should not be allowed. He felt the City should set the standards,not only for the hill and canyon area, but the whnle city and Chis p~rticular installation certainly shoutd not set a precedenc. He felt if this request is approved, conditions should be added requiring that when a ~ode is established at some future date, this i,~stallation must be made to meet that Code. Commissioner 8arnes state~+ that one of the probleins the Comnission faces is that anybody can put 3nything In their backyard and there ?s no ordinance vrhich says they have to screen it from anybody's view. She felt the Commission needs time to study ihe problem and until that study is made a~d a code established, then the only thiny that can be done is to look at each one individually. Conunissioner King pointed out there is a report on this subjec+ on the agenda for today's meeting. Commissioner Tolar discussed the rights of the homeowner and the Association and Archi- tectural Committee. He stated, however, he didn't like the idea that Mr. Bradley had gone ahead and put the unit in. He felt this is a big decision to make since the unit is iri and if approval is given to Mr. Bradley, it will be setting a precedent. He stated hP is in favor of the Scenic Canyon Corridor ~rdinance against roof-mo~~nted equipment, but ~vas having a hard time identifying solar heating panels as roof-mounted equipment. He felt if Mr. Bradley had this equipment on another area of his roof, that this matter wauld not have come up. He was concerned with the contractor instaliing the equipment in the first place w+thr.~ut thoroughly checking into the regulations. He felt the Commission needed time to study the problem. Commissioner King asked Mr. L,~+ry if i[ was po5sible to qive temporary approval, subject to completion of an Ordinance, and Mr. Lowry replied that a time limit could be imposed. Lommission~r Tolar stated he preferre.d to see a continuance rather than t.o tell Mr, B~adley [o comply with the Code later. 6-20-77 77-400 ~4 MINUTES~ ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, June 20, 1977 77'40~ EIR CATEGORICAILY EXEMPT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMI_T N0. 1716 (contlnucd) The Commiss(on discussed the possibil(ty of having a work 5@SS10~ on this subJect, with Mr. Lowry pointing out there is not adequate staff to prepare the information requi~ed and present (t to the Commissian in a work s~ssian in less than two months~ and that a continuance for more than 40 days could not be gr~nted without consent of all concerned parties. Ch~irman Johnson expressed his apinion that if tfiis conlractor had installed 15,U00 units as he had stated~ then this isn't considered as being in its infancy and he shauld have known that permits were required and this installatinn was donF in spite of the rules.
