MINU7`ES, ANAHCIM CITY PLANNING COMMTSSInN~ DECEMBER 121_1984 84-784
aruce Sanborn, 13 Corporate Plaza, Newport Beach, stated this matter was
contin~~~d in order for them tu uktempt to get the cooperati.on of Sutherland
Lumber for a cammon driveway And they we[e unsuccesaEul in thak attemptt ~nd
that they were also supposed to reaolve pr.oblemp with the Meccury Savings
cepcesentatives pertaining to the laeation of the proposed restaurant and they
were succeasful in that attempt and are pre~enting a reviePd plan today.
Bob Miller, representing Sutherl~nd Lumber Company, explained a meeting was
held between the three property owners and the result of that meeting was that
the developer waa to have an engineered plan pce~ared redesigning a reasonable
aommon dri.veway and they did receive a revised plan i.ndtcattng the proposed
restaurant relocAted to the nor.thwest corner oE khe pr.operty adjacent to
Sutherland Lumber Company. He stated they woul~ have the aame objPCtions t~
thal• re~t~ucant locatton ad~acent to their property as Mercury Savings had
wt~en the reatauranG was pcoposed adjacent to their propecty. He explained
they had suhmitted a rough outline of theic objections to the locati.on of tfi e
common driveway And stated he did not think this plan should be approved. He
added they are for ttie development of that property and consider it ~m~erative
that they tiave a common driveway, but tt must be deaigned far the safpty of
their customera. t4r. Mtller stated they are also very concerned abQUt the
request for watver oi parking spaces and ttiought i.t would create a~roblem for
them during those ti.~es when the theatre is vecy busy and thei.r store i.s also
busy, such as Saturdays and Sundays. He added they also feel a medtan stri.p
on La Palma Avenue would adversely affect their business and future growth and
explatned 908 of thetr customers use the Imperial/La Palma tntersection with
60e of their total sales coming from people living in the Anahetm Hills area
and Yorba Linda. He ~teted so far therE is no assurance that an access would
be allowed off Impertal and without that access, there ts no way this
developme~t wo~ld ever work.
Concerning the .location of the proposed resiaurant ar~d the proposed driveway,
Mr. Miller stated they feei this proposed plan would not be safe far the
community and they are also concerned about the trash, cooking odors and fltes
and also they are concerned about the park.ing and exp:a3ned they have not ~een
any plans far the restauranl. He added they t~ave suggested the locatton of
the restaurant rema~n where it is now, or be moved to the far corner next to
the theatre, or adjacent to its current site.
Mel Kapson, representing Mercury Savings and Loan, stated to some extent he
would agree with the Sutherland repreaentat~ve regarding the contemplated
closure of lhe me~i.an str~p on J~a Palma and felt that would create a major
traffic problem and it ~s absolutely impera~:ive that tf this plar, ts approved
by the Plannfng Commission, the Imperial access be obtained from the state
prior to issuance of ccn:~tr!~ction permfts. He ~tated th~f have no objections
to the development as proposed in the revised plans.
Mr. Kapaon stated there is a proposed condtti.on requiring the approval of the
City Engineer for drainage and pointed out that thii unimproved land acts as a
reservoi.r dur.tng normal rainy periods and when thfs development occurs, it
will no longer be available for the percolation of that water into the ground
and it appears the only way fo* the water lo drain woul~ be onto the driveway
to La Palma and he felt the Commission should require that the water drainaye
services be prouided prior to the issuance of any permits.

R~~asell Wilaon, managec of 5uthecJ.and Lumber Company, explai.ned tt waa
evecyone'e feeling at the Not~kmb~r 19Ch mePttng th~t the restaurant r~nd common
driveway ibsues would be resolved and Chat th~ developer would present An
eng~neered plan that cou.ld be agreed unon that would rea~ly wark; hnwevec, the

resl•t~urAnt would ~ie odjacent k.o their £aciltty and they du no~ thi.nt~ that plan
is acceptaule.
Mr. Sanborn stated na mWtter rrhich way the dciveWay is turned, there will be a
T-sltuation because it h~s to be aligr~ed with ttie drtveway across the atreet
and that ts a conrkrai.nt they h~d ta work wtth and tt~r_ common c3r.i.veway was
engineered the best they could and that 5utherland Lumber was not tn agteement
wi.th the plans with the cammon dctveway next. to Mercury Savings.
THE Pt38LIC HEARING WA5 CLASED.
Comm.tssi.oner L~a Clatre atated she did nc~t under~tand why ~hey were unable to
reach a camprnm~se ~n the dri.veway location and painted nut no matter what
goes onto that ~+~~~perty, the r~ccesu on i,a Palma i~ going to be cloaed btcbuse
it is already a hazard. She stated ahe thought the r~evi~Pd plans wi.ll not
work with trafff.c tcytny to come in and other tra~ftc backing out of the
parking spaces inta ~.he dcfiveway and noted the tcatfic will all b~
concentrated into one aceu. Mr. Sanbocn ~tated the plan i.s identi.cal to khe
ptevious one re~arding traffi.c, except for the locati.on of the new ces~aurant.
Paul Str-ger, Traff+ic Eng~raeec, stated the driveway will :.tay the way it is
w~th right-tucn in and right-turn out only Eor boCh dciveways and there are
two 90 degree turns 'becaa~se of the location of the restaurantp hawever, i.t i.s
p~ssible to move the: resraurant over another 60 Eeet to the north whtch would
provide somewh~t fewer tvcns and allow more roam Co maneuve~.
Commissfionec 'La Claire stated th~.s t~ one oE the worst internal circulation
plan~ st~e nas ever seen, except Ep: ~he Rinker Shop~i.ng Center on Imperial
which was a mistake she does not want to make agatn, and that she liked the
old plan bettec and thouyt~t it cou2d have t~een worred out; and that she had no
problem with khe tcash loeati.on because Meccury Savtnga has thelr trash thece
too.
Mr. Sanborn ~tated Herc~cy Savfnga diil not like the oId plan and now
Sutherland does not like the rev.tsed plan. H~e atated they cannot put the
cestaurant nn the east property line because of the setback requirements off
Imperial and it could not be located in the center ~f th~ property becuuEe of
the l•raffic si~.~ation and the only place ts on the westerly property line.
~omm:Issionec Hrrbst suggested the access off Imperial be plannsd so Lhat it
goes right on through to Sutherland which woUld allow another access from
their business d~artng their busy hours and ~t could be designed to service all
four businesaes.
Paul Singer stated that was the original plan and wtth the restaurant tn ita
prior locat~an behind Mercury Savings, the access could havp s~rved all the
businesaes, but since that could not be worked out, the same thing could be

~accompltshed by movtng the .cearaurant build~ng to the norkF~. He expl.Ained
with that plan, the present driveway at Mercury Savtngs would be clo~ed ~~ith a
combi.ned driveway provided between the two pcoperties where the Suthec'land
dr~.veway is presently loc~ted with a E~11 interaecli.on provided for ttie~
commercial center accosa the atreet and the two drivewaye would have
left-turna in and lel:t-turns ~ut.
Chairmar~ Herbat clarifted that Sutherland was not agr~eable to a common
driveway at the beginning, but now the;~ are, if it ~s properly deaignpd.
Mr. Sanborr: responded to Commissiunec Bouas kh~t the accesa Erom Imperial is a
aonditi~on of this development and ~Eter thia approval, they can approach
CAI.TRANS. Fegarding the "T", he explatnec~ the pl~ns ahow thAt th~ right-turn
in is not made at the last dri.veway next to Sutherland, but somewhece in the
mi.ddle with a right turr, towards Mercury and fucther explatned there are three
driveways at Sutherland and a peraon cou].d take a turn at the fi:st or seaond
dri.veway- but noL• the thi.rd.
Bob Miller stated the ori.yinal plan submitted to Sutherland Lumber was very
poorly engineered with the theatre traf~tc right agatnst their buiiding and
the plan was prepared with no input from them and at that ttme, he made three
different sketches with suggestions of how t.hey felt a common drivpway should
be destgned wi.th the theatce next to the cai.lroad tr.acks and aqreed that after
it had been properly planned, he would acrange a mee4iiq wtth Mr. Sutherland.
He stated when the plans were submitted three weeks later, they had no i.de~
how many parkin9 apaces would be lost and also did nok feel the pcaposed
facility would have adequate parking and were afratd khe theatre or restaucant
patrons would be p~rking on their property. He expiained they were not
against the pcopo~al with the restaurant a~jacent to Mercury Savings; however,
they would prefer to see it in the corner. He at~ted they wanted to pcotect
the La Palma access and do not want to inconvenience their customers by having
that access closed, Fle stated he has sug~ested they rebuild the restaurant
right where it is currently located as another alternative.
Chairman Nerbst clarified that if the drive~~ay rema.ins where it is currently
located for Sutherland, the current Mercury driveway will be closed and a
common driveway ceul~i be accomplished with le~:t-turns in and out wh{ch would
serve Suthecland, the theatre, Knollwoods, Mercury Savings and the Christtan
erothers Market across the street.
Nr. Mi11er stated that has been the plan all along, but alony with that there
must be the T.mperial access. He stated their coricern ia that the driveway
will not be properly de~igned and with the I,-sftuatton tn front o£ theic
buildin~, it cauld be very dangerous for their custom~rs with the theatre
patrons 1~aviny the eite.
Chairman Herbst stated he thought if there is a driveway to Imperial, rather
thAn gaing out to make a left-turn onto La Palma. Suthecland customers could
ga o~t and make a right-turn ~nto Imperial and that would help their
businesa. Mr. Miller stared they do not want to commit to a common drive
because they do not th~.nk it would be adequate without the guarantee they
would 5ave access to Imperfal. Mr. Sanborn asked if the common driveway is
needed for this development, Chairman Herbst stated the Commission has to

MINUTES ANAHEIM CTTY PLANNING COMMISSION AECEMBEIt 12 148A 84-787
look at r.he l.and use deve~opment of this percel and the trafftc that ta
alceady on Jmperial and La Palma. Ne ateted he usea those streets everyday
and is very familiar wi.th the traffic pcoblem and a1RO now that the W~eir
CanXon Accesa bridge ia open, there is a lot more tra~fic on La Palma and the
common dciveway And accesa to Imperia.l sre a must.
Mr. Sanborn stated the Sutherlan~l busi.nesa will be clo~ed when the theatCe has
its biygest traffic impact a~d that most peoplr flttendtng the Saturday
afternoon matinees ride bicyclea or are dropped-of.f by theic parents and are
not old enough to drive.
Chairman Herbst atated there wi.ll noL be very many btcycle~ coming into that
area because thts area ia ~uite a distance from the housing .in that area. Mr.
Sanborn stated most of r.heir c~ast~mecs would ur~e ImPertal.
Commissioner Ga Clai.ce E;tatE~d most af tt~p people who live in Anahe.tm Hills
ares would use Imperi~J. ~nd Hc. Sanborn responded that should reduce
Sutherland concecns. H~ at~ted they cannot have the common drl.veway if the
restaurant i~ locar.F:d wt~erc was before. He stated they could probably move
the cestaurant la o~.~ 1`~ teet to the north. Chairman Herbst added he thought
it cuuld be moveJ a J.o~ further th~n that.
CommiasioneX L». Clai.~e atated an industrial bui.lding cou'ld be butlt on the
property berau:;e i.t is industrially zonec3; and that ttie traffic pattecn on
that propecty r.ight now is very bad and with the pcoposed circulatton plan,
there i.s on1X about a 25-to 30-foot area with everyone exittng from the
theatre and khe customers from Knollwoods trying to br~ck out of thetr parking
spaces. Mr. ~anbocn ~tated no m+~tter what, there would be krafEic backi.ng out
of those par'~cing spaces, He stated bastcally the theatre wtl.l be operattny
wt~en all the other businessea ace closed and its peak would be ~n Saturday
night froR. 9:00 to 10:00 p.m.
Paul S~.nger stated the only problem traffic time would be with Saturday
matinees and very few people would be parking then and would be comi.n9 tn to
drop their children off; and that the greate~t exodus of traffic from the
t7eatre wAUld be when the other businesses ace not ~pen and khere would be
very li~ttle c:onflict. He also explained rhece would be several different
theatres and they would not all let ~ut at the same time.
Mr. Sanborn stated an alternattve use Eor this property would be an industrial
buildiny or office building which would cceate more of a~roblem for
Sutherland Lumber and traffic problems for that intersection and he thought
everyone had agreed that this would prabably be the bPSt use Eor this property.
Commissir~nec La Clatre stated there would be duuble traffic for the Saturday
matinees with parents dropping their children aff and then picking them up.
She stated the theatre and restaucant, which is busy all the time, would all
be tcying to use a 30-foot wide driveway.
Chairman Herbst clariffed that .tf this plan is approved with the two driveways
and the median on La Palma being closed, they would have to come up with a
common dXiveway in the mfddle, He stated most of Sutherland's business is
from Anaheim Hills ar~d he cottld not vote for approval of this cevised plan
12/1Q/84
MINUTE5~ ANAHEIM CITY P~~NNING COMMISSION, DEC~MHER 12, 1984 84-788
becau$e it would harm Sutherland. He stated Sutherland hAS Aaid they will
come to an agreetnent, but it has lo be wo~~^~ out between the two property
ownerB. He asked if they woul~ lik~ a continuance in ocder to resalve these
tasues.
Commisaton~r L~ Claice stated the incentive for wanting to have a common
driveway io that any project that g~ea onto that property will cequire the
closure of the access on La Palma. Mr. Sanborn stated i.t is poasible they
will never agree and will continue to come to ~hese he~ri.ngs and oppose any
use that is proposEd until they get the one thAt they want and ~hey could
eta11 many prujects for a].ong ti.me.
Commissioner La Claire sl-ated the Commission has seen th9.s problem befoce and
she thtnks the developer tias worked very hard on thist hnwevec, she would like
to see the threc propecty owner representatives get together and solve thQ
problems of the c.ommon dc~veway and coopecate and partiatpate in getttng the
access on Imperisl Appruved.
Chairmen Herbct st~ted it appears SutherlAnd is wi.lltng to compromise on the
common driveway and if the plan ts ~~proved, they would lose the La Palma
access and it appears evecyone has an i.ncentive to work together for a common
driveway and to get the access to Imperial. Pa~l Singer 3tated Conditi.an No.
3 prohibiks lhe use unless approval is obt.atned from CALTRANS for imperial
access.
Commissioner E~~~hore stated he thought part of the prablem is that there are
na plana available for the restaucant which the other property ownErs can
review. Mr. Sanborn stated plans were submikked at the last hearing and the
ceataurant will have same type of wood exterior and the plan does not change
the exterioc and he thought Sutherland and Mercury had seen them.
Commissioner aushore stated he thought the}• were probdbly more r~ncerned about
the outside eating area, exhaust f~mes, etc. Mr. Sanborn stated Knollwoads
delivered a rough skekch of their plans showtng the location of the outdoor
eatiny areas between the restaurant and theatre.
Commissioner La Claire clarified that Mercury Savings representatives and
Sutherland representatives are willing to work with this deve~oper, poin~ing
out a variance was gcanted Por Mercury Savxny~ and she felt the C.tty has done
their part.
Commissioner Bushore state~ he realizes nothing can be done about the Mercury
Savings traah, but thought the location of the restaurant's trash needs to be
addreased and thoughk movtng the restaurant to the north and having the trash
located on the main thoroughface so it could be picked up quickly, with
posaibly a c.ircu]ar driveway, should be considered.
Kendra Morries, Assietant Planner, stated staff was only given a revised site
glan end no interior or exter~or plans and they were also giveri a verbal
indicati.on the height of the restaurant would be lowered to 35 feet i.n
conformance witt~ Code.

Mr. S~nborn eteted they d~d not R~ove th@ ~estaucant n~xt to the theatre
because it w~s their undecstanding the most efficient use of. the parking lot
would be ~a have Che ceataur.Ant pdtrons perk or, the north side oE Merauty
Savinga and the theatre cuatomera park tn front of the thcatt~ and lf the
restaurAnt wao next to rhe Cheatres, the cuatamecs wou.ld be competing for
tl~ose spots on the northerly part of the parki.ng lot.
ChAirman tl~rbat stated the resteurant could be placed in the carnec next to
Impertal or in the same locetton as it is currently existing. Mr.. Sanborn
respanded it could not be on Impecial ~ecause of the setback requtrementsj
however, they cquld rnove it 15 to 20 feet north on the western pc~perty 1tnP.
Pa~l Singer stated it ~ou.ld not be 1~ nted f~arthec south because o~ the
].eft-turn lane and tt~e closer to the internection, the more difficult to make
the left turns.
Mr. Sanborn stated atter all this time he was beg.inntng to wonder if this
could ever be worked out with the property owners agreetng. Chairman Herbst
stated everyone has a commnn tnterest here because of L•he ~ccess and traffic
problems tn the area. Mr. Sanborn explained Sutherland is not in fsvor of
hooktng up to Imperial with their last driveway.
Mr. Mi11er stated wtthout an engineered plan, tt is hard to make commente=
that Knollwood ic rhe one who wants to develop thts site and has the most to
gatn wtth a nice new butlding and tie thougf;t they should request a variance of
the ~etback requirements or remain in the present locatton and they do not
want to have the restaurant and theatre in the same northeast corner, but now
want to put the restaurant next to the Sutherland Lumber and that Sutherland
is open 14 houra a day and does uaQ all 5 acres of their propetty, even L•hough
the parktng is all in Front, because theLr customers h~ve to pull aroun~ to
the cear to pick up merchandise. He stated they are concerned about the
parking waiver and also hecause Knellwood is busy during lunch ttme and their
customers might spill over onto their parking lot. He stated they could ~lsa
build next to the old stte, but that would r.equire a setback waiver.
Commissioner La Claire suggested posting the Sutherland property eo tr~fftc
w~uld not entEr the lask driveway because they have three separate driveways.
Mr. Miller stated he was sure a good engineered plan could be designed and
they wo~ld still lfke to see the driveway curved back in, but the restaurant
would sti11 have to be moved. Mr. Singer stated the dr~veway would have to be
moved northerly, subject to the restaurant moving.
A variance for the required setback on Imperial was discussed with Chairman
Hecbst suggest~ng the pet~tioner cnnsider applying for a variance. He stated
this iE the only piece of pco~erty left in Anahe.im on Imperial that isn't
developed and he thought a var.iance could 'ae considered so the restaurant
could be located as close to Imperial as it is right now and he did not think
that would set a precedent.

It was clarified that the aztback of Carl's Jr. across th~ atreet is probably

Kendra Morri.es pointed out the plana would need to be submikted by TuESday,

Sanborn stated they can make thp deAdli.ne if they do not have to have
agreement with tiutherland. It wa3 noted that Sukherland and Mprcury Sav.ings
representatives are williny to cooperate. Chatrman Herbst asked if the
Sutherland and Mercury represe~tatives are willtng to consider allowing the
theAtre customers to exit on their pcoperty in front of thetr butldtngs and
out the common driveway, tf the restaucant is placed on ImpertAl. Mr. Mtller
responded to Chairman Herbst that they would have to see drawings before they
could make a comm~nt; however, he thought ths driveway could angle back in end
if the restaurAnt ts moved to the Imperial side and the common driveway is
properly deaigned with the right amount of parking, he weuld present that plan
to Mr. Sutherla~d and ~aw no reason why they would not agree stnce they know
the La Palma access is going to be closed.
Mr. Kapaon stated they have aat tn on evecy meeting they have been awace of
and wil~ continue to do so and have cooperated in every opportunity they have
been o~fered and the only requirement they have is that the restaurant be a
minimum of 50 to ~0 feet away from theic facility and everything else that has
been considered such as mutual parking, mutual egress to Imperial, mutual
