for coaunercial use end ha Lelt tha restaurant romtemplated for this aite would
create more traffic than this re~identiel project and he felt from studies he
haa eeen that tha atreeta ere more than adequate for the housinq units end the
deneitias are far below the density comtemplated.
THS PUBLIC HEARING S~TA3 CIASED.
Commissioner Bushore etated he felt carporta in that nrea for thie type
project would dounqrt~de the erea and he also did not like cara parkinq on top
of the reaervoir becauee people v+ould be chnnging their oil, etc. He atnted
hs did not like adding the odd-ahaped parcel just to get the denaity and he
hoped the other Commieaionera would aqree because thie 1s not the direction he
would want to see Anaheim Hills tekinq in the future.
Mr. Mason stated the reaervoir was designed to allow parkinq and at the time
1t was converyed to the City, there wae a very substantiesl reduction in the
value, and he did not think there was any reason to think that veh~clea on top
of the raservoir would in nny way affect the weter auppXy.
Concerninq the comments reqardinq downgredinq of the area, Mr. Mason etated in
the laet 3 yeara ]~naheim Hille, Inc• has been virtunlly unable to market any

anA he r-ould have to vari~y that it wee desiqne+d to ecaocnaodete such vehiales,
but did not believe there wae a problem. He axplein~sd the rmcorde and
cnlculstions on thia project sre with the consultant a~id hav• not boen

Comc~issionar Herbst aaked it any access through the top is enti.ipnted tor
maintenance or repairs, with Mr. Auerbech rasponding that thoy do hava acaess
hatches built in, but thare ie a raaiote poeeibility that they would have to do
repeir wnrk ineide the reservoir.
Commissioner La Claira etnted aho hes been on the Comnai.esion ~or about 6 years
and Was involved in the Tesk Force which developAd tho Generel Plan !or the
Anaheim Hills area and that ehe nlao livea in Anaheim H111s and i.s vsry
larailiar with this area. 3he etated she realiaee thie property wna deeiqn~ted
!or cot~aArcial uaee and thet all development of the er.ea ae e planned
community has already bean approved, eo thei•e will be more Condominium
developwents, but ahe did not feel this is a qood ar~a for commercial prop~r.=~3'
and it would be cnuch better ae residentialt however, ehe did not think thi~x
particular projact haa the qeiality that should t~a req,iired in thet araa. S~.
atated Aneheica Hille is not en i.deal area for yaunq lamilies to purchase ~~M~,.',~-
lirat hame dne to the hiqh cost of developoent. Sha statad eha did not li#rw
the cnzpnrts even though tha new ozdinance will allow eome carports. Sl~e
atated the peopls ~n the area would like eomething that would not lower the~.'a
psoperty valuea. 3he stated, however, she ia nat oppoaed to condoa-inium
developa-ent .
Cocm-iesianer Herbst atated t~iia site was designated for commercial uea b~E~n
thexe aas any deveiopaent in Anaheim Hills to eatiaty the needs of the g~o~-le
in the area, but that that has now been taken care of ~+ith the co~aerci.sl
developcaent nt the end o! Serrano and he did not think m~y aonim~roial nsP
ehould be allowed on thie site. He stnted l-naheim H~ils, Inc. and the ~iey ~~f

the entrance t~ e~ne of the uwst expensive homea in Ar~akrei.m e~d :gr~ople ~-itr

Concarning the eddition c~! the hillside ta the propert;, Mr. Mason expleine8
thet hillside Pormed the nekurnl hill on th6 beck ot thte project and the hill
to tha oast and south will be preservad. He pointed out tlie expensive homes
are quite a distanca lrom this project.
iZeap~ndinq to Commissioner Boues, Mr. Mneon stnted h~ hed not contnctad the
neighbors concerning thie project be~ause hio experionce with homeowner.a hsa
not bsen qood. He etnted in deaiqning the project, the designer must try to
meet the homeowner'e needs and everyone hae a different view.
Chnirman Fry saked Mr. Maaon if he would like n vote on thie pro~ect e+e
propo~ed today or if he wc~uld like a continuenct in order to subtait revieed

would heve the riqht rf appeal t~o th~ City Council.
Mr. Meson stated they cannot construct e project with hel! the ~ua~ber o! units
that cen be sold in t~ay's market because there is no demand !or thnt type of
product.
Comraiesioner La Claire staCed she did not think a condoa4lnium project would be
bad in that locetion, considering the altarnative which is commarcial, and
asked i! garaqes aauld be includad with theee units, rather then carports.
Mr. Mason reecponded i! the proble.a is merely a queeCion o! carporte, he can
conatruct qarages and noted the carports ~nre deeigned eo that they can be
translora~ed into qsreqse and he could build additional qeraqes to cneet code.
Coaamiesioner La Clair• stated she sees this as an apnrtment complex. Shb
state3 the Commieaion ha• baen workinq hard for a long tima to kgep l~naheim
Hills a nice place to live nnd do not want to eee it downqrndad just becnuse

concexned ebou~ the quality ot the project.
Mr. I~ason xesp~ndad that thay could accamaodate garaqes, but they r+ould not ba
