Mr. Gray stated the Honda dealership i.s located on the corner of Weir Canyon and
La Palma and the one 6-foor hi.gh monumenr. si.gn on the r_orner inr_ludes the Canyon
Auto Center logo, wi.th the word "Honda" ot~ two diEf.erent angles, with 13" high
letters. He stated the a~ef~otthegshapeno£atheepropertydandetheadiffe~entrservices
signs on each driveway,
provided.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Mr. Gray responded r.o Commissioner McBurney r.hat the signs will be ~.nr.ernally
iltuminated. He explained rhe const;uction and materi.als of the sign and stated
on.ly the r_opy i.tself will be illuminated.
Mr. Gray replied to Commissioner Fry that event:ual.ly there will be other
dealershtps, i.n add~tion r.o Honda, at: r.hi.s 1.or_arion and r.har. rhe used r_ar and
Subaru dealerships are being developed ri.ght away. He pointed out the long-range
plans show where rhey are proposing a freest:anding monuraenr sign, not ro exceed 6
Leet in het~ht, for each dealershtp, all having the samheccorneresisntat Weirlogo.
He stated t:hey do nor. anrir_ipar.e changing t:he size ^ 8
Canyon Road and La Palma which is in front of the •.•~a dealershi.p and will only
advertise Honda.
Commissioner Herbsr. st:ated he fel.t rhere are r.oo many Honda signs, wir_h "Honda" on
the driveways, and on all sides and the front of the building, and a large "Honda"
sign tn f.ront:. He star.ed rhis is r.he Scenir Corridor and rhe Planning Commission
has had to deny thi.s saae request to other businesses in the area, and they have
only been a1.lowed one wal.l-mounr.ed sign.
Mr. Gray stated r.hi.s is a corner location and the butlding is set back quite a
distanr_e and is nor. direc1-l.y visible from a1.1. direr_r.ions, with r_urved roads from
both di-rections, and signs on each side of the building are for identtftcation from
each direcr.ion, and r.he mf.eelethesone in'frontaisanecessaryrfoontheicorporate
i.dentification, and they
identity.
Commissioner Herbsr. pointed our. rhere wi1.1. be another idenr.ificatton sign on the
front of the buitding and explained he was referring to stgns "B" and "F", as shown
on the exhibtt,
Bill Reur.emann, deal.er, stared rhe driveway signs are direr_tional. and are not
advertising signs. He explained there will actually be three separate businesses
on that corner and r_he word "Honda" i.s not adverti.sing, but ~s f.or dirertional_
purposes so a person going down the road can find the Honda service entrance, etc.
He stated the purpose for r.he monumenr sign ~s real.l.y to make it look li.ke a nice
corporate enti.L-y and an automobile park and it doesn't say "Honda" un the front,
but "Canyon". He stated the monument s~gns ~n e~r,her s~de are "Honda" signs, and
they give a view down La Palma and Weir Canyon Road, and the si.gn on the front of
the building whirh reads, "Canyon Honda" ts direr_ted into the intersection and
added he did not believe there are too many si.gns.
Chatrwoman La Cla're stared she r_ould see r_he need for r.he disertional signs, "G"
and "H" and asked if those would be iLluminated at night. Mr. Reutemann srated
those are usual.ly on a rimer and shur. off about 2 hours after the business ts
closed. He added he was not sure where staff got the informatton for the staff
report that the signs w~ll be illuminated from dusk to dawn. 6/9/86
MINUTES, ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, JUNE 9, 1986 56-373
Chairwoman La Claire stated she is concerned about the predominance of the
illumination with lights betng on all night i.n r.he lot whi.r_h r_oul.d be seen by the
homeowners and suggested the direr_tional signs be turned off af.ter the business is
closed.
Mr. Gray srar.ed there wi.l.l. be displ.ay l.i.ghting in the l.ot whir_h would proba':~l.y
overshadow any illumination given off by the lighting on the build.[ng or mo•xument
si.gns, whir_h are nor exr_eeding 6 feer. i.n heighr, from ground l.evel.. He star.ed the
overhead lighting will be on all night for security purposes and that r.heir
busi.ness hours woul.d be until. 10:00 p,m.
Commi.ssioner Heri~sr. stated Honda wil.l. have ar l.east 3 monument s~gns, and r.his will
be an automobile r_enter with other dealerships and those other dealers will want
the same signing privi.leges and r.here will be a big mess of signs in r.har. area. He
suggested the monument si.gn out front shoutd include the rest of the agenctes,
similar to what is done in a shopping center. fle st:ated he fel.r_ they are
reque~ttng an 'overkill' of si.gnage £or Honda, and added he does not li.ke to be put
on the spot and orher businesses in r.he Scen~c Corridor have unly been al.lowed ro
have one stgn. He suggesr.ed they stay wtth~.n the guideltnes for signs in the
Scenic Corr~.dor.
Mr. Reutemann srated rhey have rri.ed to present a program r.har. will provi.de an idea
of the t~tal outlook for tliis parr_el, includi.ng the northwest and northeast r_orner,
and explained the northwest corner is yet undeveloped.
Mr. Gray stated these dealershi.ps do need street i_den~ificati.on so the cusr.omers
know which driveway to turn inr.o, and r.hey have r.ried to make them r.onform to ear_h
other, su tltey will. look tdentir..al. He stated there was concern about the 40-foot
hi.gh freesr.anding sign, so they have reduced al.l. r.he monument signs t:o no higher
than b feet. He stated there will be six dealerships in taat locatton and they
w311 all. have r.heir own individual. signs and the l.ighr.ing is very subdued.
He stated the stgn out f.ront is not part of thi.s package and was submir.ted for
i.nformaticr only and the "Auto Center" sign wir.h r.he franr_hi.ses oa r.he bottom was
contemplar.ed as a directional sign on the northwest corner. He srated this request
is for the Honda dealershi.p on the northeast corner and it inr_ludes the monument
sign on the corner, the wall signs and the directional signs.
Commissi.oner Herbsr. stared his r_oncern ~s rhar with r.he number of. signs being
requested for the Honda dealership, the site will not be able to have any other
signs. Mr. Reutemann stat:ed rhe onty signs for the fur.ure dealerships would be
direr_tional signs, identir_al to these, with "Subaru" or "Ford", etc. instead of
"Honda".
Annika Santalahr.t, Assistant Direct_or Zoning, stated the current proposa]. is for
signs no nigher than 6 feet. She pointed out the whole property !.s covered by thi.s
variance, and if Commiss~or. does appro•~e th~s requesr. and the other deal.erships
come in, they would have to work withi.n this variance and would probably review it
and decide wher.her or not r.hey coul.d ltve with it, or wherher r_hey needed to
request a change.
Commissioner Herbst srat:ed r.his is one p~arc<:1., and they would not be entitled to
any more f.ree~tanding signs, without anc~ther variance.

MINUTES, ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, JUNE 9, 1986 E6-374
Anni.ka Santalahti stated staff was concerned because this was not the type of use
anticipated f.or this property when t:he Scenic Corridor Overl.ay Zone ~as adopted and
the stgns allowed would be for r_ommercial uses with sma].1 shops. She stated i.n
working with this peti.tioner, staff was conrerned wher_her or not r.hey were r_oming
up with srandards that would be acceptab7.e and whether or not signs for the other
two dealers on the same stte r_ould be accommodated. She stated the major change i.n
t.he revi.sion is that the signs are lower. She statel there will be a constant
negati.ve response from P1.anning Department: staff for any 4U-foot sign.
Mr. Gray state•.d they are talking about r_he northeast corner today and there are
three separar_e businesses on r.hi.s one parcel., *.he Honda deal.er on t:he corner, and a
used car f.actli.ty whi.r_h i.s a smal.l bui.iding, and to the f.ar east wil7. be the Subaru
dealership. He star.ed the used r.ar faril.iry is being cons±rur_ted now, along with
Lhe Honda dealership. He asked if. the problem 1.s ber_ause of Lhe three businesses
on one parr_el.
Commiss~oner Herbsr_ st:ated r.his variance would be for al.l t:he si.gning permitted on
this site and the orher agenr_i.es wi.ll not have any si.gns wit.hout f.urther
variances. Mr. Gray st:ar.ed t:here is only one ent;it:y on *he northeast r_orner, and
northwest r_orner has not been developed and those signs would probably be applted
for under a separa~e requesr..
Chairwoman La Claire st:at:ed t:he Commission want:s to allow enough signing for t:he
Honda dealer to be sucr_essf.ul whir_h w1.11 bring a lot of tax money to Analietm, bu*
t:here are seven separaf.e s~gns for Honda. She st:at:ed Merrury Savings, Nurseryland
and Car].'s Jr. and alt rhe other businesses i.n the Sr_eni.r_ Corridor were artually
al.lowed one wrap-around s~gn.
Commissioner Bouas point:ed out l.ooking at t:his s~t-e, a person woul.d not see more
than one Honda sign at a time. Mr. Gray repli.ed looking to the right or northeast
at the ~.nterser_tton of Wei.r Canyon and La Yalma, tihe buil.ding is on r.he rorner and
ts a triangular building, and both signs are not vi_sible. He stated the stgns on
the overhang; or enr.ranr_e ~:o r.he service area, are 1.8" lerters and lie did not rhi.nk
they could be seen.
Chai.rwoman La Cl.aire suggest:ed that: t:he wa1.1 stgns on r.he northwest side be
combi.ned, simtlar t:o what Merr_ury Savings has done.
Commi.ssi.oner Herbst st:ated a 1.2' monument sign, h feer. high, is ~roposed for Lhe
used car dealer and that he realizes that i-s not part of. this request, but he fel.t
the petitioner needs to consider a1.1. rhe signs for t:he entire parrel., Mr, Gray
stated they have taken the whole site into consideratton and have come up wir.h a
program where each business wi1.1. have a smal.l mcnumenr sign, and rhey understand
t:hey will need more variances.
Mr. Gray sr.ar.ed rhey wout.d l.ike ro get t:his approved and n~t hol.d up r.he opening
for the Honda dealership. Commissioner Herbst stated they are just asking for too
many signs and approval would set a prer.edent for al.l future businesses and they
will ask f.or the same thing. Mr. Gray stat.ed they felt since these are three
separate businesses, each one would be entir.l.ed ro one freestanding sign and each
one needs separate identif±.cation.
Annika Santalahtt stated there is ML zoning between t:he freeway and t:his property,
and those properti.es do not have the same restricti.ons and staff was more willing
to r_onsider some Code waivers and did nor. vtew this site the same as other
6/9/86
MZNUTPS, ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, JUNE 9, 1986 86-375
commerctal sites because in order to get to the property, you go through an area
which will be allowing more signs. She added it takes some ti.me to r_hange the
Code, and the petttiotter has come up wtrh a proposal that might be accepr.able to
t~e City and *.he low profile was def.initely one of the big issues with the 'Jity and
freestanding 40-foot high signs are not desired.
Commissioner Herbst stated r.hey have submirted a l.ong-range pl.an and are under
construction and will ~e back £or more vartanr_es. N~ star.ed he felt they r_ould
present a plan f.ar more acceptabl.e and po~nr.ed our t:hey are proposing a l.arge
freestanding sign for the used car dealer and he tl~ought it will set an undesi_rable
precedent. He sugg~sr.ed maybe rhts properr.y shoutd be deleted from the Scenic
Corridor. Annika Santalahti stated she di.d think it should be deleted, but perhaps
some sorr. oi overl.ay or special r_onsidera*~on ul.rimatel.y in the Code r_oul.d be
considered. Slle pointed out thts si.te has limi.ted ar_r_ess and there has been a
general f.eel.ing wi`h staff r.har. when access ~s l.imited, signage at earh driveway i.s
certainly not totally unacceptable. Commissioner He.rbst stated it is unfortunate
that the property belongs r.o r.he Cir.y of Anaheim.
Chairwoman La Claire stated each dealership that comes in wi.ll ask for seven si.gns
and this wi.ll r_reate anorher Harbor poulavard s~r.uation.
Mr. Reutemann sCated this is an unusual intersectiun due to several things,
includi.ng tne shape of the property, and r.here has ~een a l.ot of effort, r.ime and
money spent in order to devetop thts property ~nto a retai.l area and the si.gns are
sr.rictly to a~tract people in *he area and direr_tions from t:he in~erser_tton and r.he
monument signs will direct r_ustomers to the proper driveway. He stated there are
separate driveways for the used car dealer and rhe Subaru dealer and t:iiey need
separate signs and most of. the signs at stx feet are Eor i.nformatton and they are
not tryin~ to attract people f.rom the f.reeway
Chairwoman La Clatre stated there are three sl.gns on the butlding, one being 128
square f.eet, and thaf: she has no* objer_tion ro the id_ntifiratton s~gn and the
directional signs. She stated standing at the corner of Weir Canyon and La Palma,
a person shoul.d be able r.o see rhe word "Honda" at Least twice. She added she did
not think the sign identif.i.ed as "B" is ner_essary.
Mr. Reutemann star.ed sign "B" is tlie focal poi_nt and gives the "Canyon" identi.ty to
the whole project.
Chai.rwoman La Clai.re srated if rh~s business was going tnto Irvine, r.hey woul.d not
be able to have any more than two signs and Anaheim does not want another
proliferatton of si.gns l.ike on Harbor Boulevard. She added "more" or "bigger" i.s
not necessarily bett2r, and the Commission wants this business to succeed but the
si.gns to stay as limi.ted as possible.
Mr. Reur.emann suggested el.iminar_i.ng eirher r.he Canyon 1.ogo or the "Honda" sign on
the side of the building.
Commissioner Bouas suggested eirher del.ertng r.he "Honda" identification from the
monument sign or from the side of the building. She stated sign "B" certatnly
identifies the area and it doesn't have *o say "Honda". Commissioner Messe
suggested eliminating "lionda" from the sign identi.f.i.ed as "F". He stated only half
the signs would be ~istble at one time.
6/9/86
86-376
MINUTES, ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 9, 1986
Commisstoner Herbst stuted this is an 'overki.ll' of signs £or th~s one project and
the plans are for the same number of. signs on r.he rest of. the projects and he
thought the signs need to be combined because this is going to be an automotive
shopping center.
Anntka Santalahtt responded ro Chairwoman La C1.aire thar. they woul.d be all.owed to
have a wall sign equaltng l0Y of the building wall involved.
Chai.rwoman La Clai.re sugges?:ed approval. of all *.he signs, excepr. the one identi_fied
as "B" which is the monument stgn and then the dealers can all get together and
decide on a r_ombir.ed si.gn f.or t:he whol.e r_enter.
Mr. Reutemann indicated that woutd be acr_eptable to him.
It was noted the P1.ann~ng Direr_t:or or his au*:horized representative has determined
that tlie proposed projert falls within the def.i.nitton of Chereforealcaregor~~all.y
Class 11, as defined in r,he State EIR Guidel.ines and is,
exempt from the requirement to prepare an EIR.

the vicinlty and subjer.t r.o Inr.erdepartment_al Committee recommendati.ons.
Malcolm Slaughter, Deputy City Attorney, asked the intent of the Planning
Commission regardi.ng rzstrir_t:tons on 1.1.luminaLi.on of the signs. It was cl.arifi.ed
that tlluminatton of the directi.onal signs wuuld be restri.r_ted to businESS ho~rs,
with no restriction on the wall stgns. Mr. Reutemann agreed that would be
acceptable. Chairuoman La Clatre stated she did not think this wtil have an eff.er_t
on the netghborhood, but: asked Mr. Reu*emann r.o agree thar i.f there are r_omplai.nts,
to turn off whatever lights are f.ar_1ng the residences. Commi.ssi-oner Fry pointed

that they con*.~nued t:heir discussions with Mr. Art Garcia, representing Federa*_ed

they trea*_ them the same as residents who own property in the area.

Mr. Meador read +.he sert:ion of the Code se'r.~ng ou.*. the findi.ngs required to be

*_o be granted - 1) that the use is properly one for whi~h a rondi.tional use permi.t
is authorized by the Zoning code, and they do not di.spute that; 2) ttiat the use

State College ai~~ Lincoln, where there is a Ralph's market and an Angelo's, and by
the employment of addittonal security personnel, Ral.ph's was able to mi.ti.ga*_e the
situation and consequently, the number of cars and persons whu were congregating in
thetr parki.ng l.o* a* State Col.l.ege and L~nroln was subs*_antially redur_ed.
Mr. Garcia s*_ated he was tol.d by *_l:e applicant that the f.irst Friday ntght i.s the
major evening when r.he car cl.ubs meet:. He added he unders*ands tha*_ is an informal
group, however, acr_ordi.ng to Ralph's Security llepart:ment, it is the first Saturday
nigh* at Beach and L~ncoln and *.he firs* Fr~day night a* S*_a*_e Co1.l.ege and Linr_oln.
Mur McShea, resi.dent of Anahei.m Vacation Park, 311 N. Beach Boulevard, stated to
her knowl.edge absoiu*:ely no effort of a con~il_tarory na*.ure has been made by
Angelo's towards its neighbors sinr_e the tntr_tal meeting; ~hat outdoor ar_tivities
appear to have intensified with al.mos*. a flaun*_ing of loud music and yelting, and
tires screer.hing, especially last Frid:iy, Saturday and Sunday and they were very
obnoxtous. She s*a*.ed las*. night r.here were firecrarkers rtgh+: ou*sjde their walls
during the hours Angelo's was open. She stated ber_ause Ralph's has posted their
property, parking overflow of patrons of Angel.o's has moved a~ross Bearh Boulevard
to Cirr_uit City and the patrons seem to dart. back and forth through the traffi.c,
tliereby halting t:he ~raffir_ fl.ow orcas~onall-y. She s?=a*ed she and other res~dents
feel that, all in all, Angelo's has demonstrat:ed itself. to be a very uncartng
neibhbor.
Mary Hamilton, Anaheim Vacatton Park, s*.a*.ed she has seen no improvement i.n the
noi.ses, e*_c. althoubh, they have improved at times when the polire has been called
and they have taken ~hem out of the Zody's parking 10?:, bu*_ they have gone arross
the street and are running bac?c and forth. She stated also, '_here i.s almost a
trafftr_ jam and sFie was concerned r_here wil.l be a very bad acr_iden.*.. She sta*ed
she did not think there is enough roo~ ~.n the area to hold the crowd *_hat is trytng
to get i.nto Angelo's; and *he paT.rons bring lawn r.hairs and ga*_her in groups and
s3.t and talk. She stated some of the residents at Anaheim Var_atton Park stay there
year i.n and year ou* and are no*: rrans~en~s, and the park does have r_ertain rules,
and there are tourists in about one-half. of. the park but the other one-half has
permanent residents. Sh~ s*_a*ed *.he !:ouris*.s who do r.ome in have reall.y compla~ned
about the notse and crowds at Angelo's and they come in to sleep and rest and
cannot do that with the noise. She s*_a~ed she *_houghr. all.owing something li.ke
Angelo's there really does give Anaheim a bad name. She stated some peopte have
moved to the other side of *.he park be~ause of r.he notse and that there has been no
ef.f.ect on trying to solve tlie problem.
Betty Lookabaugh, 311. N. Bear.h Boul.evard, s*_a*ed she real.l.y gers ronrerned when she
hears the engines roaring and the tires squealing, and just waits Eor a crash while
trying to sleep and i.t is real.ly hard on her, She added she really just wanted to
back up what the neighbors have sai.d; and that Angeio's hasn't really kept the
place very clean. She stated the patrons are parking across the street and tha*
makes it more difftr_ult because they are crossing Beach Boulevard and there is a
lot of traffir_ and r.here rould be a very bad acr_iden*. wir.h somehody being killed.
She stated she could not see this use being continued.

Department has Itad to be catled and app
another burden on the Poltce Department, as i£ they didn't have enough already, and
he thought they are being l.ousy neighbors; and r_o plare a burden of this nature on
adjoining property owners hy asking them to do things to help wir.h the situati.on is
ludtcrous. He stated there is no way he will vote f.or this reques*_.
Commissioner Herbst agreed. f.~e asked if the petitioner would like to have a
conti.nuance and reques*_ a r_onditional. use permir. berause *.hey have an il.legal
operation there now andrhe could not vote Eo~ aWasXpurrhasedf unforrunatel.yeraYion,
and even *.hough it was ..here when the prop° y
lacks buildin~ permits, a conditi.onal use permit f.or a drive-through restaurant and
does not meet the drive-through restaurant standards; therefore, the request is to
aFprove something that is illegal now. He suggested they request a continuanr_e and
brinK the restaurant up fo Code as a standard drive-through restaurant.
Ms. Rei.nglass stated she did not thittk the use is illegal. Commissioner Herbsr.
stated staf.f says rhe drive-through res.*.aurant never had a rondirtonal. use permi.t;
and that the origi.nal CUP was for a walk-up restaurant and the Commission r_annot
expand an illegal operation.
Ms. Reinglass stated there is no CUP for a dr3-ve-tn, dri.ve-through, and *_hat has
not been disputed by them, but what has been disputed is the iss6/9/86t it has

Comznissioner Herbst star.ed the operation was expanded wi.thout proper butlding
permi.ts and, unf.ort:unar.el.y, Angelo's has purchased an i1.l.egal. opera*_i.on. He s*_ated
he could not vote for thi.s expansion and is of.f.ering an opportuni.ty for the
peti.tioner to bring it up to Code.

when the problem r_lears up,
Ms. Rei-nglass asked if r.ha?: would he for bo!:h, <he CUP f.or the pa'io, as well_ as
the appli.r_3tion for t:l1e beer and wine. Chairwoman La Claire stated she probaUly
would not vote for Lhe ~ond~t:~ona1. use permit at this t'me ber_ause she sees a
business whir_h, if expanded, would be detrimental, and i:he expanston woutd probabl.y
attract more people, and maybe an ou*.door area would inr_rease !he problem of
lotter~.ng because people tend to hang around more i.n an outdoor eating area,
esper_i.ally teenagers, and ir is easy for them t:o expand over in':o the parking to*_.
Chairwoman LaClatre sugges*_ed the pettti.oner withdraw the appliratton and request a

a CUP, once these problems r_lear up. She stated she thought all of. this is a
temporary thing and is get.~:ing bl.own ou* of porLion and if they don't expand r.he
operatton, and if the pressure is kept up, eventually, the patrons will go some
other place. She s*a*.ed when a11 r.he probl_ems are cl.eared up, she would have no

Mary Di.nndorf, 1.31 La Paz, reTerred *.o petitions and l.etrers submitted and stated
there was no notification. She stated a neighbor saw a public noti.ce stgn on Nohl
Ranrh Road and r_hat she only heard abou*. i t l as!: Tuesday and ±hey had bee;: r.ol.d by
the proponents that they were all notif.ied but no one recei.ved any notif.ication.
Ms. llinndorE star.ed the projer_t looks very good in rhe pictures, bu*_ it would not
look very good on site; that L-hey are proposing 125 uni.ts whtch means 125 cars, i.f
esch unit only had one rar, and with vi.sitors and some staff peopl.e, that means
quite a few cars at that intersecti.on. She stated, in addtti.on, on T.he other side
of. the street, east. of this projert., *here is ano*_her 1.33-un~t project which means
another .133 cars r_omtng out i.nto that area which from 5 to 7:30 p.m. is very
congested. She sta*_ed she bel.ieved r.raff±c alone is reason enough Lo deny the
projert:
3he stated the Sceiii.c Corridor Overlay Zone does nat allow 3 stories and a large
portion of. this bui.lding wtll be 3 stortes. She ref.erred to the Senior Cttizen
Ordinance and added she was not aware of tha* r_ategory in the City of. Anahei.m. She
stated to ~he southwest, there is ano*her proposal for a reti.rement center, where a
hospital was previously proposed, and added there is an agl.ng population there, bu*_
not that many and she would like those £acts r_onsidered and this project deni.ed.
Jean Morse, 400 Torrey Pine Ctrcle, stated wi.th all the vari.anr_es requested, this
is a very typical reque~t and the project woul.d be one oE the highest densities i.n
tha*_ area, with the e:cception of the one across the street and ±hat is a dif.ferent
catebory. She star.ed the original marketing survey projer.ted 120 uni.ts, not t25.
She stated they are asking for a varianr_e of the ser.back which is typical and she
felt 20 Eeet from Anaheim Hills Road is not enough distance because it ts very
busy. She stated across the street there i.c a depressed area because the Alpha
Beta market closed, but they clid nut feel this project will help that situation.
She stated she drove aruund tha*_ area today and went into the project across the
street and there is no one walktng in there asking for inEormation so she 3td not
thi.nk there i.s a need for r.his '~ype facil.ity. She stated their market3.ng survey
indicates the}• talked to real estate people and a manager of an apartment in
Ar~aheim Nills, and r.here is on1.y apartment project in Anaheim Hills. She stated
she does not want to see hi~h density at that intersec.tton.
Ms. Morse stated she is glad the petttioners are requesting a continuance because
she did no± have time to collect all the data she would like to present and would
like to add it at a l.ater ttme. She referred to the watvers r.hey are requesting,

including a waiver of the affordable housinK, and stated it is not unusual for
builders to request waivers. She stated she is passing on her feelings and the
fee.lings of those people who had just learned about the request and were shocked,
and if there is a continuance, there will be more people attendinK.
Ara Call, 6015 E. Hil~crest Circle, stated the view out of his bedroom window will
be of this projer_t; that ~hey moved tv Anaheim Hills in October of 1985 and
surveyed a lot of areas before moving here and moved here because the City had done
a~ood job in meeting r_lieir needs. He srated they like the quiet neighborhood wi.th
relatively low density, especially the number of trees and the extent of wildlife,
and thar. they ha~•e enjoyed very mucn .Living here. He stated also they were not
notified and are located within 300 f.eet of `he property. He stated they
frequently walk in r.he area ar.d saw no signs, and after he heard about it, when he
looked, there wa~ a sign posted on Anaheim Hi~ls Road and one on Nohl ltanch Koad
and even though he walks past that area, he di.d not see those signs.
Mr. Ca.il stated he is concerned about construction noise; that just after he moved
iii on October 3, abuut 1 a.m• he was awakened and thoubht there was freeway
traffic, but .learned it was the all-night pouring of the concrere for the
f.oundations ~f the senio: citj.zens home Lhat is being construr_Led across the
street. He asked that if somethin~ is constructed on this stte, construction times
should be restrained. He sta~ed construrtion was r_arried on frequently on Saturday
mornings at 6:30 and that does bother his family.
Mr. Ca.ll referred to the beautiEul Eucalyptus trees .locar.ed on Analleim Htl:ls Road
which were recently trl.mmed, and explained as a result of just the trimming, the
noise level at his house has increased twu to three times greater than it was. He
stated he does not like Lhe red roof on the other project and would like somethin~
tliat would blend witlt the surroundings. He added he left a relati.vely nice
community that was spoiled by density and housing.
Mr. Call referred to t:he variances being requested, and noted since this is to be a
luxury project, probably most people wt.tl have at least two cars and ne did not
think rhere would be adequare parking. He stated he feels tlie densi.ty is too great
and rhe access to r.he street is not adequate, especially rhe access past the tennis
courts which he £elr_ will be dangerous.
Mr. Call stated the project incorporates covering the r.hannel and that concerned
hi.m because rhat would disturb the bir.d nesting areas and he really enjoys seeing
the different. birds in the area now. He stared he bouglit his home here because he
liked the ambiance and would like to have a chance to read and study more and would
like to have the Commission help preserve wha`_ attracted hi.m r.o Anaheim Hills.
Melvin Hunt, 273 S. Hillcrest, stated he agrees with the opposition regarding the
high deusity. He referred to the area along Nohl Ranch Road bordered by Hillcrest
Street on the west and Anaheim Hills Road on the east and state3 that is an
weed-filled, dry, uncared-for strip of .land which is really an eye sore aad a
hazard to pedestrians with weeds growing over the sidewalks, etc. He asked thaz if
this approved, r.he Commission should i.nclude a requt.rement r.o matntain a landscaped
greenbelt alon~ the Nohl Ranr_h Koad portion, in keeping with the stanZards of
Anaheim klil.ls.

Mr. Ryan stated they aould be happy to provtde *_he greenbett as suggested. He
stated all senior apartment projects are devel.oped tn the RM-1.200 codas which does
permit 36 units per acre and this projecr, could have been much more dense, but
because of the type of market they were 1.ooking f.or, felr_ r_he 125-unit project
which is at 23.5 units per acre, well below the 36 units per acre, would a7.low for
the square footages of the uni.ts as proposed. He stated *_he projer_t across the
street does not classify as a senior citizen ap~.rtment projer_t because it is an
~nstitution and the nature of tha*_ project ~.s a 1.0*_ more dense than this project.
Mr. Ryan stated the access is the existing access and required parking for the
project is l19 spar_es and r.hey are provid~ng 1.33 spar_es and fee? conf.tdent there
would be adequate parking.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSEll.
Commissi.oner Fry sta*_ed there i.s no way to r_ompare this projert to *_he one arross

doesn't quali.fy as far as *_he inr_ome level. requ.iremen*.s, e*c., and *_here are no

Commissioner Herbst agreed and sta*.ed he l.ooked at rhis sire several. r_imes las*

qualify th9.s as a sen~or ritizen's cumpl.ex, and r_he seniors Wllandetherelisoaygood
moving around and wilt be aff.luent and probably have two cars,
chance one or borh woul.d s~ill. be working and rhe spouse woul.d have a car. He
stated he did not think the whole complex would meet the s*_andards regarding

ameniti.es are just not there for a sentor citi*~naP~vee2t~~~cmi~esarorohernearest
or bank and ro even ~et f.ood, ±:hey would have

};o stated Anahei~ Hil.l.s Road is rhe en*_ranre *o Anaheim Hitls and *_hese will be
built right to the road. He sugges~ed eliminating one whole row and meeting *.he
setbar_k requtrements, which woutd stitl provtde about 100 untts and also the units
could be spread out a bit. He stated he recognizes *_his is a hardship parr_el to
develop because of. the fl.ood con*_ro1. channel., bu* rha*_ doesn't mean r_he amentttes
of Anahei~W Hills should be destroyed. He added there is just too much density and
he thougtit there is a way thts coutd be developed. He stated there is a need Eor
this type apar.tment complex in Anaheim Hills and there aren't any apartments for
sentor cittzens, bur. thts i.s jus* too dense. He sta~ed the 50-f.oo*_ setback catt be
met and more parking provided because he did not think the parking will be
adequate. He sta.*_ed he fe1.t t:here coul.d be a r_ompromise.
Chairwoman LaClaire stated there are other conrerns with that property; that if.
thi.s property rematns f.or rerreattonal purposes, everyone should be aware of the

not exreedi.ng 4~0~ square feer, ho*_el., mo*_el, enr_losed res*auran*_, skating rink,

detrimental to the neighbors; that she is no~ i..favor of the density on this

to see it stay just as it is. She suggested i.n their discuss3.ons with the
petitioner, the neighbors should try to r_ome up with some pro-active planning and
decide if they want things to sr.ay the same, or what would be r.he least impact on
the whole area. She star.ed she does not like this being proposed as a senior
citi.zen housing project wir_h no affordable units and according to the ordinance,
Lhe Commission cannot approve it because i.t doesn't have '15% of the units in the
affordable range, or 10% in %he very very low range, and also she is not in favor
o£ the three srories. She stated the density and overall impact on t'ne whole
property is just too hibh and she would not vote for rhe encroachment i.nto the
50-foor. setback.
hir. Ryan star.ed they would be very happy to meet with r.he ci`izen~ and work out

Sharon Browning, agent, explained she is requesting a minimum of three units be
allowed for personal automobile storage and repairs on personal automobiles rather
than S as shoNn in r.he staff report. She explained they have had qui.te a few calls
for r.his type use since some people are not allowed to repair automobiles in their
area, and have requested ro rent a unit ro do personal work on the vehicles.
Leonard McGhee, Assor_iate Planner, stated the applicant is requesting a permit for
r.hree units as opposed to five as shown in rhe sr.aff report and witli only three
units, no parking waiver woulc+ be necessary.
Ms. Browning stated originally a possibility of ustng ten units was discussed with
staff, but her goal is to allow a very minimal number of ~his type use at this
facility. She noted tliere are r.hree units availabl~ for lease at the present time,
and stated she is not trying to r.urn this complex into an automutive type business.

is not adequate parking in the entire complex, and they feel any additional loss of
parking spaces will pur more parking into the street which is already becoming

actua.lly to allow those three.
Ms. Brownin~ responded the current automor.ivQ sturage was there when they purr_hased
tlie property in November or llecemUer, and at the time the City inf.ormed them they
would have to eitlier have those people move or obtatn a conditional use permit.
5he clarified the request is to allow the three that are there.
Ms. Browni.nb sta~ed she was nor aware thar any of the tenants tn her complex are
currently parking in the cul de sac atid poiar.ed out there is plenty of parking on
subject property. It was clarified rhat r.he parkinb problem is being caused by all
the industrial users in that immediate area.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSEll.
Commissioner Fry stated with only three units affected, rhe parking waiver is not
needed, and those three are already existing, so there is no change i.n the parking
si.tuation.
Ms. Browninb explatned r_he tenants of r_hose three units do not do any major
repairs; that one gentleman uses it for his liobby shop to work on his car.
Commissioner Messe suKgested r.ying the conditional use permi.t to tliose three units.
Commissioner Herbst stated these units are fairly large and questioned that a
person would rent one of these unir.s just to repatr his own automobile, and asked
how long they lease rhe unit. Ms. Browning responded un~ tenant has been r.here for
maybe two to three years. She stated one r.enanr repairs tiis trur_k and a small r_ar
and she r.hought he was prubably restoring it and also does other odd jobs, similar
ro a hobby shop and i.t is not a business, and the other two are basical.Ly the same.
Ms. Browning responded to Commissioner Messe that one to two employees for each
unit mQans, i.n general, there would be one or two people in 'he uriit at a time.
She stated a person may want to restore an o.ld car and the wife says it cannot be
done at thetr residenr_e, so the person then tries to find another place such as
this to do rhe work.
Leonard McGhee stated this really wasn't the origina:l request; and r.hat staff
Gecame aware of thi.s as a part of a business license applir_atton f.or suto repair in
one of the units and it was made known to the applicant that a conditional use
permit was required. He stared the original request came in at 10 units and after
staff discussed the project at r_he In'.erdepartmental Committee meet_ing, the
applicant was asked to provide a list of the restrictions whicli vould be placed on
the tenants and Lhat list of restrictions has not been provided.
Ms. Brcwning explained the restrictious discussed pertained to what type of

Property described as a rectangularly-shaped parcel o~ land r.ansisting of
approximately 0.5 acres, located at the southeast corner of Bal.l lioad and Walnut
Street, and 'Eurther described as 1198 West Ball Road (servir_e starion).
To permi.t construction of a convenience market wir.h gasoline ~ales and off-sale
beer and wine.
There were four persons indicating thetr presence in opposition Lo subject request
and although the staff report was not read, it is referred to and made a part of
tiie minutes.
Responding to Chairaomaa La Claire, Annika Santalahti, Assistant llirector for
Zoning, explained this property is in the area to be considered by the Ctty Council
on the 17th, but Commission can hear this matter r.~day because a convenience market
with ~asoline sales and off-sale beer and wine is a permitted use wirh approval of
a conditional use permit in rhe Cit, as well as other zones.
Malcolm Slaughter, lleputy City Ati.orney, stated the modified moratorium to be
considered by the City Council on June 17 precludes any use unle~s thar. use is
permitted in the CR zone, conditionally permitted in the CK zone, or basically is
the extenslon of an existing lawful use, so if the request would permit something
that is permitted in the CR zone, it is not afEected by that particular moratorium.
Ms. Leslie Kyle, 439 Via Lio Souid, Newport Beach, stated the application is for a
convenience market in conjunction with continued gasoline sales, with a request for
off-sale beer and wine. She stated the purpose of the CR Zone is to provide and
encourage the development of rer_ail businesses directly related to the businesses
of entertaining, housing or supplying services to the tourists, and this is
precisely what r.hey are proposing to do at this location. 5he explained the
facility is designed to serve the needs of the traveler, particularly those who
utilize notorhomes and utilize the nearby recreational vehicle parks. She stated
there is a substanrial number of people wlio travel this way and for one reason or
another do not desire to eat all their meals in a restaurant, and there is always
something needed from a market; and that some peop.le need to eat certain meals at
certain times of the day and it is not always possible to find a restaurant and get
service :n a timely manner, nor to find what is needed on r_he nenu; and r.hat some
people do not want to take time from their busy vacation schedules to go out to a
restaurant.

MINUTES, ANAH~LM CITY PLANNING COMMISSIUN, JUN~ 9, 1986 Sb-397
She stated she feels this use proposed for this location definir.ely meets a need
for the tourist in the area, and that it will be very benefi.cial ro the existing
community because there is really no major food aarket in the area, with the
closest they could find about 1-1/1 miles away, and i.t was not even a major food
chain and was aot located on a major inzersection where it was readily visible.
She stated the proposed faciliry is similar to another ~acility this applicant has
at Katella and Brookhurst, approved about two yearc ago, and this facility is
intended to be a very, very significant upgrade for the site. She stated ttie
facility witl be concrete block construction along the property lines as indir_ated
in rhe staff report, and that ts a Building Code requirement with consrruction on a
property line; however, the other waLls would be of stucco and glass and in
addition, they have added fountains, etc. She stated the applicant has the
comounity's best .interest in mind and tha•`. has already been substantiated by the
manner in whicR he has upbraded the axisti.n~ service station in `he interim.
She presented a petition in support of r.he request containinb approximately 200
signatures, and explai.ned petiti.ons with approximately 1,000 addirional names
including residents and people in tiie area in favor of r.he request will be
delivered la`er. She read the petition as follows: "'Co the Mayor of Analieim. ~e,
the people of Anaheim, sign this petiti.on and are in favor of ihe remodeling,
building and upbrade of the gas station and proposed mint- marke` lor_ated at 1198
West Ball Road. At present, the sration is run down and is not as murh an asset to
the community as it would be provided rhe remodeling, building and upgrade was
done. We, the people of Anaheim, are in favor of havinb a msrket in the area since
we have none within tliis area, and, we r.he people of Anaheim, are in f.avor of
providing new jobs to the area, as well as lookin~ forward to having this beautiEul
new station with mini-market to provide us wi.th r.his nice and wonderful
convenience. Thank you for your r_ooperation.'
Betty Ronconi, 1241 S. Walnut, sta~ed she wouid abree rtie physir_al appearance of
rhe proposed facility would be an upgrade. She stated she also has a petition to
present, and rhey did not put mur_h time inr.o thetr per.irton and from just the
immediate area, have 18 signatures of neighburs and 35 si~natures from Walnut
Manor. She stated they are also not plea~ed with the possibility of a gasoline
station in conjunction with the sale of alcoholic beverages.
Ms. Roncont sta`ed she is curious as to why the: .:~re nor contacted, pointing out
no one approached Lhen with a petition and the, .. right there and she would
question where the siKners of the applicant's pe' .tion live. She stated this site
has residential uses on two sides and a post office on the other side and they are
againsr the general concept of a far_ilir.y with the sale of alcoholic beveraKes and
gasoline sales.
Ms. Ronconi stated r.hey already have existing hardships from living ar_ross from the
existing businesses and do not need this type facility across the street from their
residences. She stated through the cooperation of the buslnesses, they have been
able to maintain their residential area. Stie stated there is a hotel, restaurant,
and Tennisland in 'har area, with he~vy traffic on Walnut, and they feel this type
businass is not compatible with Lheir residential area.

Ms. Ronconi stated this could become a meeting place for teenagers, or the same
type thi.ng dis~ussed earller regardi.ng Angelo's, and there roul.d be addi.ttonal
loiteri.ng and littering; and this type faciltty is vulnerable to crime, commonly
referred *_o as a"stop and rob" market, and also *_heir residential area could be
more vulnerable, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and tt seems intolerable to her.
She sta*ed they object to thi.s fcr z1.1. of these reasons, and are reatty surprised
by the petittan submi.tted by the applir_ant.
Ms. Roncini. s*a*.ed *hey have seven r_onvenienre markers in rhe area, and three
f.ull-servi.ce markets not very far away, one at the corner of Cerrttos and Walnut,
and each trai.ler park has ir_s own convenlen~e store, and *here is a convenience
store at Ball and West, and Euclid and Ball has two markets (one i.s Atbertsons
which ts open 24 hours a day), and t:here are plen*yo uf far.ilittes to serve the
tourists.
Michael. Rizzu*.o, 1217 S. Wal.nut, sta*.ed his property is righ*. across from the
service station, and he thought a 24-hour f.ar_i.ltty would be i.ntolerable; that rhey
have rars squealing ou~ of rhat site now and a.*. nigh*. t_he 1.ights shine tn*_o thetr
bedrooms. lie stated there are a lo* of young people wlto use the phones lor_ated
there and r_ongrega~e attd sir and drink beer and *hen come arross the street and
throw the r_ans on his lawn. He stated traffic is very heavy and there are a lot of
tourists who s*.ay ar r_he Cones?:oga Inn and walk *o the gas s*arion and many ttmes
there have been near acr_i.dents. Ne stated he opposes the sale of wine and beer.
Ms. Kyle invir.ed the neighbors to v~sir. any of the applicanr.'s other lor_a*_i.ons to
see how the business is run. She staLed these markets are not the same as an AM/Phi
Market, and are mur_h berr.er run ?:han a 7-1.1. in mos*_ resper..r_s, and rhe appl.icanr_ has
several stores and has experienced managers. She s*ar_ed ser_urity measures are
exceptional wirhin ~he s*ores and a video sys*em is used ~o moni*or every aisl.e of
the store and those tapes are saved for at Least two weeks.
Ms. Kyle sta~ed she emphasizes wi.*.h rhe peoPle who l.ive across *he sr_reer. f.rom a
recreational area and it i.s unfortunate that there is not more buff.ering be*_ween
the residences and ~he recrea*_ional. area and ~hey are separated only by a s*_reet.
She stated the petitioners reali.a.e there is a problem with the existing phones and
that they woul.d be removed. She sra~ed the f.ariliries have an exr_el.lenr_ record of.
being run in s manner whir_h i.s very complimentary to their locations and in other
areas, *_he neighbors have approached rhem subsequen*_ to constructton of. the
building to say how pleased they are with it and they are patronized by the
surrounding communities.
THE YUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSL•'D.
Commissioner Lawi.cki sr_ated he has lived in r.he immediate area for the last 20
years and Less than 1/4 mile on Ball Road, near Anaheim Sheraton, rhere is a gas
sta*ion sell.ing beer and wine and food, and *_here ~s a far.ility on Cerritos and
Walnut, and severaL stores at the intersection of Walnut and Katella, wtth no less
than 5 liquor stores in r_he i.mmediar_e area, 3 of which are on the corner of Eucli.d
and Ball, about 1/4 mile away, and two large stores on the northeast and northwest
stde of Ball and Eurli.d, in addition t.o the +_wo liquor s*_ores and a small.
mini-market which is on the southeast corner of Ba.ll and Euclid. He stated
probably wi.*_hin one mile of. this sir_e he r_oul.d count a*_remendous amoun*_ of
6/9/86
MINUTES, ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, JUNE 9, 1986 86-399
facilities to service the needs of the communi.ty and rhe r.ourists. He stated he
encourages entrepreneurship, but questions if there is a need f.or the conversion or
expansion of an existing business, and he personally could not see the need for
that type faci.lity at that locatton. He stated r.he existing gas station could be
remodeled to give it the look it requires for the area, but that he could not vote
for or encourabe approval of this request.
Ms. Kyle stated r.hey do fee~ the produr_t being offered is significantly different
from r.he mini-markets in the area in that it i.s lar~er and provides a broader range
o£ goods and avai.labi.lity. She stated the market at Cerritos and Walnut is, ia
their estimation, a poor conversion and does nor. se11 gasoline, and added she dtd
not see r.he Albertsons at Eur_lid and Ball. Commissioner Lawicki stated there are
two large stores, one on `he northwest and one on r_he northeasr. corner of Euclid
and Ba.ll, and they have a broad var~ety of items.
Commissioner Herbst asked i.f Ms. Kyle is aware of pas~ Planni.ng Commi.ssion acttons
rebarding r.he sale of. beer and wi.ne in conjuncr.ion wi.rh gasoline sales. Ms. Kyle
responded r.he staff did our_line the pasr. liisr.ory of these requests in the report
and rhat is always a r_oncern, and she was sure that is an on-goinb debare from
jurisdir_r.ton r.o jurisdiction.
Chairwoman La Claire stated r.his Commi.ssion iias never voted i.n favor of the sale of
beer and wi.ne in conjuncti.on wir.h basoline sales.
Malcolm ~laugti'er stated the Commission must make rhe findin~ thar the proposed use
is properly one for whi.r_h a conditi.onal use permit is authorized by Code, and r.hat
the property in questton is zoned CR which permi.ts, under Section 18.48.050, an
automobile servir_e station, subject to r.he requirements of Chapter 1$.87, and an
automobile servir_e staticn is defined i.n the Code as, "a retai.L place of business
engaged primarily in the sale of motor fuels and inciden'ally supplyin~ boods and
servir_es required by the operar.ion and maintenance of. auromobile vehicles and in
fulfilling the needs of motorists." He stated f.urther, Chap'er 18.~7 says that a
conditional u^Q permi.t i.s requi.red f.or a service sr.ar.ion if, in f.act, they plan to
sell beer and wine, subject to numerous condittons set forth, which the Commission
is well aware of, aud hi.s concern in readinb r.iie staff report and thought staEt wa:
also concerned that this may not be a service sr.ation wir.h some minor incidenr.al
sales, but is, in facr., a marker. with the inr_idental sale of gasoline and r.hat he
was not sure it could be determined, 'i~ased on the evidence he has heaXd, that this
is a use £or which a r_ondirional use permi.t is even authorized in this zone.
Commissioner Herbst srated there is a residential area right across the street and
res':lenr.i.al ar_ross Ball. Road, and he thought a 24-hour operation in this location
would certainly be detrimental to the peace, health, safety and wel£are of the
people livinK there. He stated r.har was hi.s feeling in 1967 wken he voted agatnst
the gas station, and he hasn't changed his mind now, and felt the people who live
there certatnly have r_heir righr.s and rhat this is an enr_roachmenr on their
rights. Ne sLated the gas station is there, but he did not think additional uses
should be al.lowed. He added he also felt having the sa.le of beer and wine would
furtlter complicate the maLter.
6/9/86
MINUTE5, ANAHEIPI CITY PLANNING COMMISSZON, JUNE 9, 1986 86-400
Ms. Kyle reminded the Commissiott she did submit a petition containing names of.
residents in the area who were in favor of the request. Commissioner Herbst stated
signatures of people from Santa Ana and Garden Grove were also included on that
list, and they were n~t from people ir. r.he netghborhood, bur. people the petirioner
had solicited. Commissioner htesse stated they were probably customers at the gas
station. Ms. Kyle responded they probably were and probaoly would have liked to
have seen other conveniences avai.lable to them. Commissioner Herbst asked why they
did not contact the people ar_ross r.he street. Ms. Kyle responded she was sure thar
has also eccurred.
Ms. Kyle stated on the original submittal of the application, rhe proposed land use
was described as a self-serve servtr_e station wiLh the sale of automotive and
recreational vehicle parts and accessories, as ~aell as sales of. convenience foods
and sundries, incl.udi.ng off-sale beer and wine.
Malr_olm Slaughter read f.rom r.he application thar. "the applir_ation is made f.or a
conditional use permir. under 4ode Secrion 1~.87.023.020 of. the Anaheim Municipal
Code to permit r.he £olloui.ng specific uses - gas station, convenience market."
hls. Kyle stated staff was given a very comple`.e description of the use and that the
sales of automotive arcessories, etc, would be i.n r_onjunction witli r.he other rer.ail
sales. She stated some of those items are avatlable in most convenienr_e markets,
and not just food items. She sr.ared addittonally, Section 18.87.OG3 of the Code
authorizes this use in conjunction with rhe sale of beer and wine at service
stations and requires rhat a minimum of $.10,000 in tnventory other than the beer
and wine or automotive or f.uel products be provided, so they are tryinK to r_omply
with other ser_tions of the code, as wel~.
Chairwoman La Claire stated she has never voted f.or beer and wine or alcohol sa.les
in conjunction with gasoline sales ber_ause she is familiar wit.h that issue and has
looked at all the available statistics. She star.ed this is a time when r.here is a
problem with drinking and driving, wi.r.n many dear.hs occurrinb on ttie highways every
year, and this issue ts being recogni.zed in the State right now and has been
recogni.zed by other c:i'=tes; and that the Planning Commission has recognized for a
long time r.hat it doe>>n't make much sense to link drinking and driving when a lot
of money is being spent tryi.n~ to unlink drinking and driving. 5he stated the
~lanning Commission has never voted in favor of the joint sale of alcoho.l and
gasoline, and feel very strongly about it.
Chairwoman La Claire stated it seems to her that according to Commissioner Lawicki
who lives in the area and according to the testimony of the other people in the
area, there are many convenience stores. She stated also there is a desperate need
for service stations whir_li do repairs and it seems one of the biggest benefits for
the tourists who come to area would be a place to have repairs done, and suggested,
as a planner, she would like to see a positive approach taken to providing
somethiny, that the community really needs.
Ms. Kyle stated they do feel there is a need cf this type facility uased on their
studies and review of the market area; that the RV parks indeed do t~ave very small
convenience facilities for the purchase of emergency supplies, but nothin~ like the
services they wou.Ld provide with this facility. She stated it is thei.r experience
that the beer and wine sold in r_onjunction with gasoline sales is not consumed by
the drivers on the premises, but is taken away and consumed at h6/9/86 some other

Mr. McPherson stated in r_he redesign oE r.he map, partir.ular care has been taken in
attempting to infuse the additional lots; and that originally all eight lots
fronted on Mohler Drive, and the redesign provides a 2o-foot private dri.ve with
four lots fronting on thar. pri.vare drtve. He sr.ar.ed r.hey have r.aken care tn
aligning the proposed privar.e drive almost precisely with Ycrkshire Circle, and
have proposed wir.htn `he boundaries of proposed Lot No. 4, an easemenr. running
along the comwon lot boundary between Lots 4 and 5 for the carry-off of water
buildup in that privar.e dri.ve, r.hrough Lo` 4 and down rhe s~.ope 'o a r_onnection

addirional rhree lots, but are roncerned whether the drai.nage i.s adequate and how
it will affect rheir property, along with other properttes below thei.rs. He
pointed our. their r_onr_erns on 'he map and sr.a'ed f.rom hi.s review of rhe plans, no
indication has been made as to where ttie drainage far_tlities wi~l be located. He
poi:.ted our. r.here ~.s a sr.eep stope and r.he water will run of.f. on'o his f.amily's
property. He stated he reali.zes that staff has recommended in Conditton No. 5 that
the developer '.s `o provide a hydrolugy study and provide drainage far_iliti.es and
they are curious where those wtll be lor_ared.
Jay Tir.us, Office Engj.neer, s*ated Cond~rion No. ~ requires the developer or
property owner to conduct a hydrology study along Mohler llrive and to put in the
drainage far_iliti.es, bur. rhe loryti.on of rt:e drainage facilir.tes will no~ be
determined until that study has been conducted.
Mr. Mr_Pherson star.ed r.hey are not oppos~ng Cond~.tion No. 5 and will r_omply, and
feel the conditions with respect to the drainage issue can be resolved.

or something similar to allow the v2hir.les to come out i.n a forward direction.
Chairwoman La Clatre sr.ar.ed rhe PLanning Commission is aware rhar. two uf the lots
are smaller rhan allowed by Code and the reason for allowing those reductions is
because of the hi.gh r_osr of provtdtng rhe drainage far.i.li.r.ies.
