Richard Escamillo, 1702 Br~arvale Avenue, Anaheim~ sta~ed he obJects to this proJect
because the locs wiil be sub-standard and parking wili be inadequate; and that

a problem with a young lady paradinc~ a~ound in her bathing suit in one of the

Ernast Dsvls, 1711 W~rrenton Avenua, Aneheim, asked if a vsriancQ had been previously
granted on thls property~ with Chairman Pro Tempore Fry noting a variance was grented
in 1~58~ and Conmiss(on~r Herbst explal~ed the ~equest Is e~ctually for a lat spllt.
Mr. Dmvis stated he felt a lot split ts actually a varlance creating sub-standard
frontage and will be less than esteblished in the area and there would be nothing
to prevent them from erecting new construction in the future~ indicat(ng he under-
stands once a variance is granted, the owner would need no furthe~ approval.
Commissioner Barnes noted the va~ ance was actually granced in iy58 and the property
is already deveioped end if the owner decided to change the structu~es, they would
have to come before the Commission,
Mr. Davis stated he felt this would be multlplying a factar of abaentee landlords
because there would be 10 owners instead of f{ve~ and there is a lot of that now.
He stated there are a lot of children in the area and there is a real concern to
maintain the value of the p~operties.
Mr. Queryal stated mnst likely a buyer of a tr(plex would live in the front unit so
there would not necessarily be absentee landlords. He stated there are two triplexes
on one lot and the owner• desires to sell the units on individual lots which is the
reason far the lot spl(t and noted tho {ots are all over the minimum area except
chose with 64' and 63' foot widths~ versus the minimum 70 feet.
Mr. King stated a buyer of one of these ur,.ts would not let it go downhill because
the value would go down.

approve the Negacive Declaration from the requirement to prepare an e~vironmental
impact report on the basis that there would be no significant individual or cumulative
adverse environmental impact due to the approval of this Negative Declaration since
the Anaheim Gencral Plan designates the subject property for low-medium density
land uses commensurate with the pruposal; that no sensitive environmental impacts
are involved in the pruposal; that the Initial Study submitced by the petitioner
indicates no significant individual or cumulative adverse environmental impacts;
and that the Negative Declaration substantiating the foregoing findings in on file

CONOITIONAL USE REQUEST: Requests deletion nf Canditlon No. 1 Af Planning Commissio~
Resolution No. PC80-218 pertaining to required street improvements.
There was no one fndicating their presence in opposicion to sub}ect request~ and
although the staff report was not read~ it Is ~eferred to and made a parc of che
minut~s.
Ray McMurty~ Superintendent~ Melodyland Schools and Colleges, states origi~a)ly they
applted for a permit to build a gyrtuiasium on property indicated as four lots which the
City ind(cates as two lots; that Melodyland Christian Cencer owns 1.08 acres direcxly
cAntiguous ta the perking lot and they want to build a gymnasium on the proparty
owned by the church itself, He stated their original application was cn the entire
5.85 acres and their deslre was to bc able to plant grass in one area; however~
betause the high school is totally responsible and the church is noc able to fund
the project~ they only have sufficient funds for the building of the gymnasium and
feel that the requirement for street improvements on Katella is prohibttive; that
they sympethize with the desire to have the curbs~ gutters and sidewalks on Katella,
but it is over 300 feet away from the Melodyland-owned property~ pointing out the
rest of the property is leased to Melodyland on a I9-year basis and making the
improvements would be a definite financial hindrance ta the(r ability co bs able to
build a gymnasium. He stated there are over 200 schools in the area. with only 96
gymnasiums, and they have an agreement with Che City to allow Parks and Recreation to
use the facility, as well as the high school, He stated they are asking not to have
to provide these improvements because the land ir~ not owned by thc Melodyland Christian
Cente~ and because it would be ~ financial burden if the high school has to pay for
all the improvements.
THE PUBIIC HEAP.ING WAS CLOSED.
Dean Sherer~ Assistant Planner~ stated the original Conditional Use Permit No, 2149
was for a large gymnasium complex~ as well as a recreation f(eld. which covered the
entlre property shown in grey on the map; and that they have since gotten approval
for a smaller gymnasium facility on the ea~~erly parcel; and that the originel
condition applied to the full 300-foot frontage along Katella l4venue.
Cortimissione~ HGrbst asked if th~y exit nn~o Katella from that praperty and Mr. McMurty
repliod they do not.

stated tharc are e number of r~ear-end coiiisions~ ma~y of them three-car collislons
with in,jurles~ and several side-swipe collfsion~ that have been caused by this
misalignment In the lane linas and many of the colltsians ware preventabla if the
street was straightened out. Ne edded this is a very congested aree.
Conmissioner Herbst sta~ted thls property Is leased for 19 years and inasmuch os
Ketella is probably one of tha busiest travelad b~terial streets into that Disneyland
arca, it is up to the ownnr of the property or the lesaee to do something abaut the
situation because the collision report for that area in front of thnt property
indicetes ~here were il eccidents in 1981~ 10 in 19$0~ $ in 1979- etc. pointing out
this fs Just tn front of this property.
Mr. McMurty stated th~ report ind(cat~s two of the stde•swipe collisions were fairly
cluse to the Studio and exit area of the Moonshine Bar. He stated he is in total
sympathy, but the positio~ thcy would have to k,~ke is to ~ubdivide the property
end improve ~nly the portion which is being developed. He stated it is their desire
not to have to come back ta the Co~m~~ssion, but be able to go into the proJect to
n-ake it e nice clean area with grass~ etc. and enhance the beauty of the entire area.
Comm(ssianer Herbst stated he could not vate f'or this request because the health~
safety and welfare of the people of Anaheim are involved and even though the
property is leased, the owner or lessee should be required to fix the street~ ju$t
like any other property owner. Ne stated the exlsting ~dve~se conditlons are caused

There were spproximdtely 6 per~ons indicating their pr~sence in opposition to sub~ect
request~ end although the stsff report was not read~ it is referred to end made a
part of the minutes.
Scoct Immal, 1671 E. ~incoln~ Orenge~ statod the purpose of this hea~ing is to obtain
certification of Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Mo. 257, approval of Tentative
Map of Tract No. 11600 and appr~val of removal of apecimen trees. Ne stated since
the September 9, 1981 hearing, they have been accumulating data required as part of
the EIR.
Ile stated they purchasod 13 iots~ all conforming to City ordinances and standards~
with permits~ and had lnt bids for construction a~d had begun work whcn th~ court
ordered them to cease and nullified ail approvals by the City bas•..d on the finding
that the City had fa(lcd to give proper notice to adJoining proper~y owrers of a
public hearing held July 1979• Ne s[ated this causad an incredible Jrain on their
financial resources in this the worst economie depression since the 1930's. He
polnted out the staff recommcsnds certification of the EIR.
Mr. Immel statod they have spent considerable time and money to devclap this EIR and
th~ Tentatlve Tract No. 11600 does conform to al) City ordinances end standards and
their primary choice of proposals is the original tencative tract and Revision No. 1
was pr~pared aff.er accumulation of all thcs environmental impact report data and much
additlonal site study and engineering expenses and if the Commission approved
Revision No. 1 and feels it is a more acceptable proposal. then they are willing to
accept that decision.
Mr. Immel stated the community of Anaheim and the infracommunity of Anaheim Hills
affords a iimited amount of sp~ce to dev~lop a special community as proposed with
minimum ~-acre lots in a secluded ~ountry estate setting with a private entry system
to the proJect and a beautiful wooded envi~a~ment far from the maddening crowd and
it is thelr goal to develop in harmony with the surroundings while u[ilizing only
the soundest principles nf design and construction and to establish a vibrant
cortmunity which can be held up by the City's planners. He read the following from
the EtR: "Projects which accommodate the unavoidable adverse lmpacts uf develop-
me~t and enhance the quality of life for the canmunity as a whole also improve the
overall community environment. Economit and social pressures for grawth in north-
eastern Orange County are such that compiete protectian of the environment at the
expense of commu~ity ~rowth and wel! being ts not practical. The developmen± of
this site in accordance with the proposed plan will permit some of the more interesting
natural animal habitats and vegetated areas to remain~ while increasing the economic
and soci~l productivity of the site."
Mr. Imm~l stated they have managed to survive through this past year, at great expense
and sacrifice, and it would have baen simple to take {egal recourse one yea~ ago and
rascind the enti~e purchasa tra~saction, but they belleve in this proJect and its
feasibility and its value to th~e cemmu~ity and would like to see the p~oJect moving
again to help the indusCry recover from the disaster of the last 16 months.

which the developers da not h~ve eas~ments or righ~-of-way fo~ and he felt it would
be a waste of Commission's time to examine that propossl. He stated if thet Tract
cannot ba developed as p~oposed~ the questlon is~ what is acceptable. He stated
there (s a plan acceptable ta everybody and meets the City's gnals as well, and was
Alternative "C" tn thp EIR end it was developed as a result of several odJoining
homeowners hir•ing an engineer to havc that alternetlve made.
Mr. Wolsworth reed the follawing fran the EIR, Page 7: "RegerdJng this alternative
that the ad,joining hc~rtkowners have prQposed which will allow the developer to build
12 horr~s in accordence with the policies set out tn the Anaheim Canyon Ar~a General
Plan"~ and noted the Plan briefly states that one of thc policies is ta provid~ open
spac~ and ta kcep grading to an "absolute minlmum" with dcvelopmenis following the
natural cc~ntours of the land and prohibited in deep slope areas". He added
Alternative A meets that policy~ is In conformance with tha General Plan desighatton
and significantly less grading would be required. He continued that the EIR says
this alternatlve appears to be a viable alternative.
Ne stated it would be hard for the Commissicn to consider one plan that allows the
developer to put in 12 lots and not meet the needs of the ad}ointng neighbors when
there is a viable alternative to meet everyone's need. He noted a pe;ition
containing over 100 signatures was submitted. Ne stated he b~:lieved the develnper's
cash flow would be Just as sufficient if Alternative A is accepted.
Mr. Wolsworth stated if the Cnmmission is inclined to apprnve Altcrnative B~ he would
suggest a couple of conditions to help mitigate the problems~ and added this is not
to be construed a~; a~ endorsement of Alternative B. He stated there are at IeaSL
six unique homes which would abut this tract end they are designed with glass on one
slde~ with r., back yards. He steted the superintendent of the developer says the
three-car garages will back up to these homes and they will be looking at their
trash cans, open garages, etc. He suggested a conditi~n that the architectural and
landscape plans be submitted prior te final recordation of the tract map to allow
adJoining homeowners to have input ta assure aesthetic values wil) he maintained for
the surrounding area.
Mr. Idolsworth stated the court decision was based on improper n~tification~ end the

Mr, Immel stated they are in a rather unique position because they havc three lenders
holding security on 13 lot.s Lhat were nulltfied 9 months ago by the court and it i~
impossibte fnr them to be a primary mover of a 12 lot subdivision without the approval
of thei~ lenders to give up one of the lots which they ~aw have as security. He

Mr, Gregory. He stated the canyon to be filled is the unsanitary landfill and he
has witnessed people dumping their trash into that gulley a~d filling a portir~n
would give stability to thc slope and improve the whole situatiAn.
Mr. Immel stated they have never seen the pctition referred to by Mr. Wolsworth and
noced it was submitted in opposition to renx..val af trees and not this proJect.

or homeowners associatton" so the obligatlons could be elther/or and if an acceptable
arrang~ment to the City can be worked out~ It could be done without modifying the
cvndl t lon et a later dete.
Respond(nq to Chai~~nan Pro Tempore Fry, Mr. Immel explained che homec~mers recognize
t hey have an obligatlon neighbor-to-neighbor to make certain that everyth(ng is
malntained and It fs up to them to arrenge that it be done on a reguler basis end
i t has worked out on ~th~!r pro,Jrcks; that general ly owners wha have paid 5500,000
o r Sb00~000 for thQtr homes have a good pride of owne~ship ~nd recogniz~ the need
for mai~tatning It.
Comnlssioner Barnes stated she is concerned about me(ntenance of the private streets
a nd if there are a couple of owners who do nc• want to keep up the ~+rivate streets~
t hey become a p~oblem,
J ack White stated it wfil b~~ the Ci[y's responsibility eo make sure there is an
a dequate way to guarantee that the sCreets wil) bc maintaincd and it is now a mette r
of flndtng out if there is a mechanfsM, ocher than an essociati~n, ~nder which that
e an be satisfactorily handled, and the option can be left open for r-ow.
Cc~-rmisstoner Herbst stated he lives (n Anaheim Hills and recognizes the~e is a n~ed
for mainten~ince of slope;. It was clarifi~d that ail the sloFes wili be private and
cach owne~ w(11 have the obiic~ation nf his own slope. He noted there have been
p roblems In the past with sloF~es abutting thr stretts which might affect AdJotning
property ownor's valur.
C ommisSioner Barncs stated mosf. of the property will probably be I~ft (n its natural
s tate.
J ack White explained CCbRs fo~ homeowner associatlonf are really a matier of a private
contract betwe~n property ownNrs and Cheir office has multiple calls a week with
p roperty owners saying thetr CC6Rs are being vioiated and thefr response Is thac the
City does not recognize ur t~ke part in any in~erest and they are told to erf~rce it
through their associatio;~. He stated if the~e b.CC~Rs without an associatlon~ there
is the ultimate legal rem~~y of a civil case before the court and [he primary
difference is that thc association provides ~ buffer and takes the responstbility ~f
enforcing the ~onditions~ but if an flwner is still aggreived~ they would still have
that ultimate remedy to go ta court on their own end that right ~ill rtot be waivar
e ~ ther way.
Commissioner Herbst stated if there is an association and a neighbor is violating
t he CC6Rs, and others in the neighborhood dan't really ca~e, there would stili be
the clout of the wnofe assotiat(on group to try to get enforcerr~nt,
C halrman Pro Tempore Fry asked which plan the Commission would be intereste~ in
approving. Cammissioner Herbst repl ied he would want to sec Revision No. 1.,pproved
because it d4es prnvidE for all trails un thelr property and deletes a lot of othe r
problems which the EIR has referrtd to, indicating he thought ii was a good compromise,
and he felt Et provides as much protACtion as possible to the r,eighbors.
Jack White ciarified that somstin-es the plan has been referred to du~ing th~ heai•inQ

Mr. Perk staced the clinic will t,e demonstrating to purchasPrs of new equipment
by appointment only.
Comm!ssioner Herbst stated this particular applicati~n concerns him because certain
areas (n the indust~ial zone have been designated as islands for semi-related

wholesate, but does ob,ject to retall sales to the general publlc and also to the
clinic.
