Robett Galloway, Kaufman and Broad, Inc. ref~rred to Intecdepactmental
Committe~ recommendation No. 21, stating that no p~blic or pcivate street
grade shall exceed 10! except by pric,r approval of the ChieE of the Fire
Department and the Engineecing Division and explained they do propoae a street
through the centec of the pro~ect with a grad~ of 11.80 which does provide
good circulation. He explained the grade in accesa of lli has been discusaed
with the City Traffic Engineer and he agreed it would r.ot be a problem and
that he had discusaed it again a little while ago with the City Traffic
~ngineer and he still feels khe seme way. He stated the only staff inember to
discuss the grade was a representative from the Sanitation Diviaion wh~ had
indicated goinq down the grade cc~uld be a problem far their trash vehicles.
He stated the grade ia not as steep as some in Anaheim and there is another
way out of the area; and that it had been suggested they cul-de-sac the street
at the south end which would eliminate part of the prob.lem, but it would
reduce circulation on the balance of their property. He stated they would
like for the Commisaion to allow the grade for thet amall poction of the
street since the grade on Santa Ana Canyon Road cannot be changed and even
relocating the street to th~ eaat, would not solve the problem.
Mr. Galloway referred to Condit:~n No. 18 relating to the special fdcilities
agreement requiced by Rule 15-D of the water Utility Rules, Ra~ea and
Regulations and stated they have been before this Commission many timea and
this will be the last tract map to be approved and this ia the first time that
condition !as been included and he did not know how it would affect this
property.
Mr. Gdlloway referred to Condition No. 22 regarding drainage assessment fees
end atated ae part of their General Plan of Developmant, they will be
furnishing the drainage facilities and paying for them.
Concerning the dedicdtion and improvement of the 10-foot wide equeatcian and
hiking trail (Condition No. 26), Mc. Galloway skated he thougtit the standard
width fot trails wae from 3 to 10 feet and pointed out the trail is being

Reqecding the cequirement in Condition No. 27 to pcovide eech pucchAaer with a
copy of the E3euec RAncii Genec~l Plnr of Development, Mt. GalloweY expl~i~ed he
underetood th~y would only have to pcu:~ide the informetion pertaining to the
zoning and land usee and they nevec inten~cd to publish the entire book for
distribution for eech purche~se.~r.
Mr. Ge11~waY referred to e condition included in other tract approvals
perteining to greding, dedication end improvement of the peck site whfch was
relocated ~nd auggest~d thet condition ahould be deleted.
it was noted that the 11.8• gcade of tt~e stceet wea ebout 700 feet long.
eaul Singer responded to Chdirmnn Fry that he had discu~sed the grade with the
epplicant for the past two yeara and it hes always been hie contention thal•
the grade proposes no treffic problems, providing the Fite D• artment end
Sa-~itetion Diviei.on have no problemt however, the Fire Aepa~ ent has a coupl.e
of reaervations and one ia not to atub-out the atreets until they are required
for accees.
Dean sherer stated the general question about the atreet grade was that the
Fire Uepartment and Sanitation Depertmenta do not like ta travel streets where
grades are m~re than 109i however, exceptione have been made for ahort
distancea only and the condition was included becausc the question was not
quite reaolved to thei.r satiefactic-n.
Mr. Sherer refecred to Mr. Gallowa;~`s comments about Condition No. 18 and
stated that ia a common condition on tracts in the canyon area, however
Kaufman bnd Broad will be require~ to submit a Public Pacilities Plan which
will cover the facilities needed for water and agreed the condition should be
deleted.
Concerning Condition No. 22, Jack Judd suggested it should be included since
an assesament district will bt~ created and once the estimated coat for
facilities haa been figuced and compar.ed with the Bauer Ranch, their fair
share may or may not be required. Mr. Galloway et~ted this area does stand on
fte own and they will be paying for whatever is re~uired. It was pointed out
this acea will be included tn the a~saesament dietriat.
Dean Sherer referred to thz condition pertaining to thp equeskrian and tiiking
trail and stated it is a poli.cy of the City that the developer be required to
dPdicate tcails if an alignment is shown on the tentative tract and on thfs
tract it is an interim alignment and at some time in the future, the trail
will be moved south and the stanc~ard is for a 10-foot wide tcails however, he
did not think it would be a problem adjusting the condition to cead
7-to-10-feet wide. He stated staff ia more interested in the interim trail
being out af the right-of-way of Santa ~-na Canyon Road snd actually on subject
property even nn an interim basis and he thought the condition could be
setiafied with the developer wocking with the Parks and Rec.eation Department.
Commissioner La Claire sttstrd it is hec underetanding the developer is putting
in all the drainage for thia area, but eventually the Bauer Ranch property
owners will be included in the assessmeni district. Jack Judd stated it has
not been determined whether or not there will aciuAlly be any fees required

when the diatrict is formed. Commieaionec La claire etsted ahe ~tiought it
would actuelly benefit the developer to leave Cvneition No. 22 in becauae
ther~ may be a refund when the dietrict is Eorm~d. Jack Judd stated the
condition mey be e moot condition, but it ahould cemein since their coate may
exceed theic fa~ir ehere oE the diatrict.
Mr. Galloway atated there ia no question they will be reimbursed for the major
portion of the dr~inage fecilitiea when other prope-rtiea ere developed and
that was the ba~siE of the Public Facilitiea Plen.
Commisaioner La Claire referred to the gtade of the etreet with PAUl Singer
atating there ia a 12t grar~e on Serrano at Canyon Rim just as it gete to Nohl
Ranch Road, and Feirmont Boulevard ia also 12i, and the etreet taking the
place of Via E1 Eatribo exceada 15~. He ateted he can aee there could be
problema, not ao much with the emergency vehicles, but with the tcash
vehiclea, however, they could be rerouted through another development. He
gtaCed it is atill up to the Sai~itation Diviaion and the developer. He
explained this will connect to the tract to the aouth and the recommendation
to cul-de-s~c ttie stceet would not be prr~cticAl aince ik is needed foc
secondary access to the tcects to the aouth and west since they only have one
acces~ ko Santn Ana Canyon Road. Ne stated they have discuased alternative
locations for that atreet, but not much would be gained because the grade of
Santa .,na Canyon Road drops.
It was noted Environmental Impe~t i<eport No. 256 was pceviously approved by
the City Council June 8, 1982, for subject pcoperty.

aome ~f that chdtter and activity back in the house. She atated in May she
op~ned her home to the Anaheim HisturiCal Society and they had a lot of

Pelt witt~ a bed end bceekf~at inn in the neighburhood, it will no long~r be

becauae they will not know who bolonga end who doeen't. He ateted they also
do not want the trafEic in the ellel and note~ the 'Pratfic Engineec hAs
augge~ted that all tr~ffic be cc~ited through the alley which would be right
pASt hia bedroom window.
Cerol Tabor, 315 S. Indiena, stated ahe would be very concerne~ about the
parking since they need the space in front of their own home. She atat~d ahe
has talked to people who ar.e Eemiliar with `he bed and breakfASt inns in
Europe and they do edvertise witt~ signa out front and she did not want that
type oE advectiging around her neighborhood. She stated Broadway is a very
busy atreet and there cuuld be trefiic problems with people slowing to look
foc thie *eaidence and this City provides one of the most selective areas Eor
overnight stay with hotels end ~notela everywhere.
Alvin Johnaon, 9C0 W. Braadway, indicated concecn Lhat if this is appcoved
everyane in the area will want ta put up aigna advertieing their pcofession.
He atated they have all worked hacd to maintain the residential h~ritage of
the neighbochood and w~ndered how long it will be before this a~ea will atart

think a~y commercial uses should be pPrmitted in this residentidl dcea and
stated he would coneider thiA as a commercial use.
Mr. Chance, 415 S. Indiane, atated he has lived at this addcesa for 35 yeare
and wanted to point out that the alley was not 20 Eeet wide, but is actually
about 17-1/2 feet wide and he did not think the cement block wall would last
very long with a nacrow alley. He referred ta Paragra~h 11 which indicates
khe pcopo~ed use conforms more closely to the Code definit.ion of a hotel where
aecommodations are provided either daily or weekly to tourfsta or visitors.
He stated they do not need this type of uae in a residenti~l ar.ea.
Macgacet Ferguson, 411 S. Indiana, stdted they consider this one of the nicest
areas in Anaheim and that they have a lot of young people living in the
neiqhborh,od with severel young childcen and she was concerned about them
playing in the area, perhaps running acrosa the alley with the traffic in and
out.
Mra. Hawley stated this will not be a day in/day out four-:oom rental and
thought it would be a aporadic type thing. She referred to the recommendation
of closing the driveway and aeked if that meant her driveway for her personal
vehicle would be closed. Dea~ Sherer explained the main concern wes that the
driveway would be hezardous for vehicles to turn off er4adway and accese
should be off the alley only. He stated he thought this meant the driveway
would be closed to everyone, includiny the ownec.

beceure three perking spaces are needed to be provided on the drivewey.
Mra. :I~wley statp~ ehe would like the drivoway left apen. Concerning traffic
in the area, ehe ~taked she did not see a big problem becauae the alley goes
ecross ta Indiena and both of thoae homea ere owned 5y her and her husband.
Respondin~ to Commiasionec euuae, Mrs. Hawley atated she did not know how she
will advertise this businesa, however, tt~ere will be no aigns. She etated if
ahe geta thia approval, she will re~pond to aome of the articleA ahe has read,
but theC thia is a nice home end they would like to shere it. She stated
there are six bedroome in the hauee and she currently has two childcen home,
with one or poeaibly both expected to leave eaon.
Commiasioner Buehore atated Code will permit a certain emount of aigning by
rigtit, with Dean Sherer stating Code would ~llow two aquare feet of s~gning on
the exterior wall.
Mra. Hawley stated she would be willing to atipulate not to put up any uigna.
She state~ t~er mein reaeon for wan*_ing to do this is becauae her hous^_ is
empty and ahe would enjoy meeting other peop.le, especially fcom foceiqn
countciea. Reaponding to Commieaioner Buahore as to how to scceen the gueats,
Mrs. Hawley replied ahe would have ta.find out about that if thia is approved,
slnce ahe hes never done it befoce. Cunsmisaioner Buahore referred to the
requirement under Condition No. 1 requiring that the building be brought up to
exiating standard building Codes with plumbing, Plectrical, wdtec~ etc.
Dean Sherec atated this condition will requice the propecty be br~ught up to
the minimum Gity Codes, including any permits necessary from the Health
Department, if food ie going to be secved. He explained the petitioner will
have to work with the Building Department far an inspection which would
determine what needs to be done to bring the property up to Codes.
Commiasioner Bushore stated that could require new electrical wiring,
handicapped bathroom f~cilitiea, fire escepes Erom the second floor, fire
extinguishers, pogsibly a hendicapped ramp on the porch, etc. He stated the
owner will aleo have to collect ~n occupency tax. Jack White explained the
tax report would have to be filed evecy 30 days and the tax would have to be
paid on a 30-day basis. He explained the tax rate ia 8~ as of July lst.
Commissioner Bushore statQd che last similar requeat which was appcoved was a
little diffecent because the petitioner had resettcched the situation and knew
how often reports had ta be filed, ho~ to ecceen the gueats, etc. and pointed
out this could attcect undeeirable guests. He steted in order to protect the
neighbarhood, if thie is approved, he would reaommend that it be limited to

thia developer ie propoeing a 6-foot high well one foot from hia

wesn't e problem 3F yeacs ago when the permit wes gcenCed to build
the ga~rege.
Mr. Joliasaint stated he ie not in favoc of thp variance ellowing
these 9 units beceuse of tha treffic thet wil.l be genecated with 18
new cer owners and three vieitor packi~g space~ and pointed out it
ia har~l to q~t in and out of that erea now beceuse of the
congestion. tte et~ted t~e firmly believes this will deatroy the
neighbonc~+od snd pointed out the ~recedent hAa elceedy been set on
the corner of I.averne and Citron where aparCmenta were permitted.
He steted thoae apertments ace en asaet ta the community, but that
was vacent land and thia property ie not vacrnt and ie lerge enough
for a single-fdmily residence and all the other praperties in the
area are single-family and they do not want this in their
neighborhood. He stated he hde lettera to p~esent from some of his
neighbore who could not attend the meeting and elso some phot.ographa
showing the traffic congestion as it cucrent.ly exista. ye added he
did not bleme the properky owner from wanting to $ell the property,
but did not think this de~•~lo~ment ahould be allowed at the expenae
and beauty of Anaheim, particulacly thi~ area ~n North Citron.
Dave Cooper, 923 N. Winter, st~ted he would like to object
atrenuously to these unitst that thece are nine residents on Citcon
between Laverne and La Palma, not counting the apartmenta and he wae
aoncerned that if these apartmente are permitted, the other properly
owners would want to do the same thing which would meen up to 60
additianal units in that area. He stated he was also concecr~ed
about the buildings being built on the praperty line and thought
thia would open "pandora's box". He asked the Commiesion to think
about this very carefully and to lieten to the wishes of the people
in the area.
William Gorrell, 956 N. Winter, steted about 18 months ago, there
was a series af ineetings regacding the development of the proposed
apartments on Cftron and the Winter Skreet residenta played a very
determining part in those discuseions; that the consensus of the
residenta on Winter Street was that they do not object to the
development of the property with apa~rtments or condominiums,
praviding they are developed within the guidelines eateblished 18
months ago requiring they be single story with a buf~`er zone betwcen
the reaidential properties and the proposed units and that the
reeidents righks were not encroached upon with noise, air pollutior,
or viaual intrusion. Hr etated the original pldns anked fnr seve~al
waivers which encroached upon their righta and brought the Wintet
Street cesidents out in mass to object, but the revised plans do .tiot
leave a lot to object to, ae far as the Winter Street cesidents are
concerned. Be added he felt most of the reaidents on Winter Street

wel~ is not high •nough end they would like to $ee en 8-Eoot high
wall. H~ atated they would el~o like aome eaeur~ncea that there
will not be any aubeequent encroechments into the 20-toot ~andscaped
buffer en~ noted ;he ociginal plans show bsrbecuee, pathways, etc.
end they would like to Aee that kept ~ pure landecaped eted.
3usenne Leater, 9J1 Autumn Drive, stAted she reelizes that the
General Plen ehowa changee for Citcon 3treet, but ahe would like to
eee the development more in line with whar, is thRre and with some
c~ntinuity inatead of developing apartmenta and having eingle-femily
homes end condominiums because ehe felt that would lmpact the
neighhorhood. She edded ehe would rather have condominiume than
apartments, berause homeowners ere more responsible for their
pcoperty then someone renting. She etated she is also concerned
ebout the 20-foot landac~ped area, becauae ahe felk ~eople w~~ld eet
up picnic tablcs, barbecues, etc. aince their space is very limfted
and they wtl.l have no place Eor recreation except. in that lendaca~ed
area. She stated the people on the north will be encased becAUSe of
the shape of the property aince it curvea into the back oE their
h~mes and the driveway will be clght et the property line. 5he
et~ted again she realizea that somethiny will be developed i~ this
area, but they would juat like to see aomething a little more
compatible with the neighborhood to khe north, south and weat with a
better flow down Citron and not have diffecent types of development
throughout the area because then it doea nnt look like a
neighborhood.
.Jack Dick, 949 N. Citron, stated using the property toz ~
single-family residence would not be using it to ite maximum
potential and 9 units makes tlie project more affordable and less
units would meke the price range out of the range for this
neighborhood; that Citron ia a buay street, but he felt this pcoject
would enhance the praperty ~~p and down Cikron. He aCated ihe
neighbor immediately to the south w~nts to develop his property and
does not object to this pcoposal and the neighbosa further south are
also talking about developing their proFerty.
Mr. Gilbert apologized for having to submik reviae~ plans and stated
they were not aware af the strong feelings about single-~tory units
and were completely unpcepared fot the opposition. He explained
they are only aEking for ene variance that has to do with the
setbeck on the north side and it is completely in accordance with
City standarda in r,he Rt~1-300U Zone end the variance is necessary
because that property is still zoned single-family even though it is
in the Generel plan for low medium residential. He stated the
property owner on the south aide eigned the original petition asking
that the property be reclaesified, but it is not beinq processed
because he has no development plan et the present time and he has
indicated he is nat concerned with the project ~s it is proposed
nnw. He stet~d there was a 1R:c of oppasition at the City Council
meeting because it was fndicated that the same plen was being
pres~nted even though they had prepared a new plan and the
opposition was basically to the two-atnry units. He stated tr~ey ate
6/13/83
willing to pcovide the 8-loot wall on the west side as requeated by
tha property owneca. Conc~rning tretfic he ateted it mAy be hatd to
b+ack aut a~to thet atc'ek nowr but they r~ill be bu~lding to pcivate
street atendsrd• which will ellow sntfcing the stceet in a normal
n~annec aa oppoeed to beckinq out which will alleviate many
~roblems. He atated theY ~re proposinq 9 aingle-story, Z-bedroom,
950-equare loot unit~, 1-1/3 batha unil•s and expect them to fall
wfthin the City's afiordeble huusing qui8eline$ but Ghey are not
requeeting eny s~ec~tic bonua boceuse ot thek and are going in at
the zoned deneity and ace aaking foc no waivec on that isaue.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSEA.
Commisaioner King clarified tt-at t-~e cecreationel-lelsure epace le
over Code requiremRnt with Mr. Gilbect teplying thet the 20-foot

intenda to ~evelop and he t.tiought there could be another gara9e
backed up to thi~ one which ~+ould provide a 20-foot buffer to the
next pcoperty to the south a,nd he felt thls pl~n could work all the
way down the street.

Commissionec Bouas askµd if the propetty owne~s on the south had
signed the petition oi.~~osing the project. Kr. Gilbgrk reaponded
that that property awr~er had aignrd the petition to have Council
property reclassifiP~a but thdt he t~a~ sNaken r,t the City
meeting indicating h~a was nnt sure now the zero lot line would
affect his property.
Commissioner Bushore referred to the drainage problem, pointing out
when the Braille Institute developed their propecty on North Dale,
cucbs and guttecs were ins~alled, but the dcai~age problem was
caused south af that development and he thnught this could be a
aimilar situation, if thie i~ not properly taken care of. He added
he thought there would be water sitting thece because there fs no
place for it to drdin and on Dale Street a tempocacy asphelt curb
~nd driveway weee instAlled. Jack Judd atated he was not familiar
with the situation ~n Citron Street further south and did not know
if it has curbs and gutters.

ehould be added that the flow lines to the south ehould be teken

medium residential bece+uae the arNa was deterinreking and the l~~te
were too large foc einr.~le-femily reeidences end chenges ehould be
done in a proper mannRC which ia the reason for praviding the

then 12 apsrtments. He $teted they will be ir~dividually ~~wned aiid
an asaociation would teke care ~f the common aceas. He ritAted he
felt, however, thece will be children playing in that landscaped

Mr. Gilbert atated the t~asic difference is the 200 foot depth oi the
property.

Commiasioner McBurney indicated he is concerned about the proposed jail site
~.n the canyon erea and that he would like to protest it and felt the
Commission ~hould go un record opposing it.
Jeck White etated the normdl procelure would be for the Planning Cammission ko
recommend to Ctty Council thdt they teke a~tand for or egainet the project
rather than the Planning Commiesion making the atatement and communicating
direct]y with outside age~cies.
Commissioner McBurney stated this is the seme Board of Supervisora that wishes
to eliminate the coadway syakem through the hill c~cea and pointed out if that
roed had been oper.ative, they could have saved quite a few homes durir.g the
recent fire.
Joel Fick, Assistant Director for Planning, stated the City Council has
a~lready gone on rPCOrd opposing the jail site faciltties and n letter wae
draft eeve[el months ago and sent to the Boatd of Supervisors expreasing their
opposition. He added that goes back to the time when the site was conaidered
in the weir Canyon area and originally they were looking at a aite on the S~-VI
property, and the City Council expressed opposition to thoee sites and the
Aoard of Supervi~ors abandoned cnnsideration of those sites and directed
County ataff to atudy the sites at Gypaum Canyon and Codl Canyon. He atated
Council directed ataff to prepace a status report for the jail site and
landfill site and a memorandum was aent tu the City Cauncil explaining the
etat~s of the County's study. He stated the other aitea were eliminated from
the County's study and the only two siteg being studied are at Gypsum and Cnal
Canyons. ~e sCated he will include a copy of that letter in the Commissio~'s
next packet.
