Roth led the assembly in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. 154: PRESENTATION - ANAHEIM ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (AEDC) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Mr. George Kilishek, President, AEDC, presented to the Council the Anaheim Economic Development Corporation Comprehensive Plan, dated November 10, 1981 (on file in the City Clerk's office), which was prepared with the coopera- tion and the support of City staff. The Plan was a recommendation for action and strategies for the City throughout the 1980's, focusing on industrial development. He then briefed the Council on the report, specifically enumerating on the action items, as outlined (see Section V - Alternative Projects/ProgrmvLs). Mr. Kilishek then emphasized an issue that was not a specific action item, that being the concern over the depletion of the existing stock of industrial land in the City. Once that land was gone, there would be no more. The only way new industry was going to be able to build was to tear down or renovate, which was a great deal more difficult to do. He believed that Anaheim had a sound plan for development. They had identified areas for industrial activity but much of that land was being "frittered" away into less productive industrial activity through the process whereby commercial development intruded into the industrial areas via a conditional use permit or simply that it happened. That problem was a major one for the City and they were tryin§ to find a way of dealing with it and nad appointed a member of the Board of Directors~ Walt Smith, to handle the matter. Mr. Walt Smith then briefed the action they planned to take in that regard. City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5~ 1982~ 1:30 P.M.

East Lincoln Avenue, for eight amusement devices-- continued from the meeting of December 29, 1981, see minutes that date. Mayor Seymour asked Mr. Michael Pinkus if he had seen the City Attorney's recommendation in report dated December 30, 1981; Mr. Michael Pinkus (who was with his brother, Paul) answered, "no." The Mayor thereupon asked the City Attorney to report on his recommendation of December 30, 1981 (report on file in the City Clerk's office). Subsequently, Mr. Pinkus asked that the Council approve their application for eight amusement devices on the information provided by the people who Were present and spoke to the issue at the December 29, 1981, meeting, and who indicated they did not understand the postcard notification sent to them. Miss Annika Santalahti, Assistant Planning Director for Zoning, then explained for Councilwoman Kaywood the revisions that were going to be made to the post- card notification in similar situations. MOTION: Councilman Roth moved to approve the Amusement Arcade application for Mia Taco, 2801 East Lincoln Avenue, for eight amusement devices. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. Before a vote was taken, Councilman Bay expressed concern that if they were to approve the motion, they would, to a degree, be undermining the polling system of the surrounding people. He would prefer that they take a new poll by sending a corrected postcard with the new information clearly explaining that the arcade had been there with the existing machines, in order to ascertain whether or not a majority would not be opposed. They could still reverse that decision from what he heard of the City Attorney's explanation. He cautioned the Council, if they moved to approve the application over and above the poll figures recently determined, realizing that it was not totally fair, they might be threatening or undermining the use of that polling system on future applications. 4 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5, 1982, 1:30 P.M. Councilwoman Kaywood agreed with Councilman Bay's contention and stated she would feel more comfortable with a new poll with new postcard wording. She, therefore, withdrew her second to the motion. Councilman Overholt thereupon offered the second and stated he was comfortable with approving the application based upon what had been presented. A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion of approval as moved by Councilman Roth and seconded by Councilman Overholt. Roll Call Vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Roth, Overholt and Seymour NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Bay ABSTAINED: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Kaywood MOTION CARRIED. 152: ANAHEIM MEMORIAL MANOR - REQUEST TO BE THE AUTHORIZED AGENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF INITIATING A ZONE CHANGE: Request by Paul M. O'Neill that Anaheim Memorial Manor be the authorized agent of the City for the purpose of initiating a citizen housing development under a HUD 202 Loan Reservation on land located on the east side of Loara Street, north of North Street, to be acquired from the City, was submitted. Mr. Paul O'Neill, Chief Executive Officer, Anaheim Memorial Hospital, explained this was an attempt to allow them (Anaheim Memorial Manor) to begin processing an application before the City for the required zone change, so that there would be no delay after the acquisition of the property. MOTION: Councilman Roth moved to approve the subject request that Anaheim Memorial blanor be the authorized agent of the City for the purpose of initiating the subject zone change. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. 179: THE ART & ANTIQUE EMPORIUM~ INC.: Request by David Traub for clarification of fees to be paid under Conditional Use Permit No. 2198, to permit retail antique sales on ML zoned property located at 131 West Katella Avenue, was submitted. The Mayor asked to hear from Mr. Traub; there was no response. MOTION: Councilman Overholt moved to continue consideration of the subject request £or one week. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. Mayor Seymour asked the City Clerk to notify Mr. Traub that next week they ex- pected he would be present at the meeting. City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5~ 1982~ 1:30 P.M. 149: SKYWOOD PLACE PETITION FOR ANGLE PARKING: Request of Mr. W. G. Van Der Made for "head-in" parking on the cul-de-sac of Skywood Place, was submitted. Mr. W. G. Van Der Made, 1616 West Skywood Place, was present; Mayor Seymour asked if he had been provided a copy of the staff report relative to the subject request. Mr. Van Der Made answered "no"; the Mayor thereupon reported that in each instance, the Traffic Engineer/City Engineer (report dated December 28, 1981), the Fire Department (report dated December 10, 1981), the Police Department (report dated December 16, 1981), and the Street Maintenance Department (report dated December 28, 1981), all recommended denial of the request for head-in parking for the reasons outlined in their report (on file in the City Clerk's office). Mr. Van Der Made stated they had problems and citations had been received. There were eight houses in the tract and there were three to four cars to one family and no place to park. He did not park in his garage because it was too dangerous to do so with the water heater located in it and the garage attached to the house, which presented a potential fire hazard. He used his garage for storage. Mayor Seymour explained although they.were sympathetic with the request, if they approved it, they would be setting an extremely hazardous and serious precedent as borne out by the reports. As well, there would be no reason why they should not, or could not, grant the same in every other cul-de-sac and if they did so, would create a tremendous risk of safety, health and welfare in the community. He was going to have to accept the recommendations of staff and deny the request. MOTION: Councilman Seymour moved to deny the request for head-in parking on the cul-de-sac portion of Skywood Place. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. 134: PUBLIC HEARING - GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 171 AND NEGATIVE DECLARATION: Sunset of California Homes, Inc., for an amendment to the Land Use Element to consider an alternate proposal of land use from the current General Commercial designation to Low-Medium Residential for approximately 5.8 acres of lar~d on the northeast corner of La Palma Avenue and Romneya Drive. Mr. Jay Tashiro, Associate Planner, briefed the staff report to the Planning Commission dated December 14, 1981, relative to the subject property, an owner-initiated General Plan Amendment to change the current General-Commercial designation to Low-Medium Density Residential. The property owner proposed to develop a condominium complex consisting of sixty to seventy dwelling units. The Planning Commission, in their Resolution No. PC81-263, recommended approval of Exhibit "A" (which was posted on the Chamber wall) changing the current General Commercial to Low-Medium Density Residential, for the 5.8 acres involved, and, further,-declared that the subject project be exempt 6 City Hall~ Anaheim,~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5, 1982, 1:30 P.M. from the requirement to prepare an environmental impact report pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act since there would be no s~gnificant individual or cumulative adverse environmental impact due to this project. The Mayor asked~ to hear from the applicant or applicant's agent. Mr. Frank Hughes, representing The Wellington Group, the appointed agent for Sunset of California Homes, 14771 Plaza Drive, Tustin, stated they were the applicants for the subject General Plan Amendment. He thereupon read a prepared statement relative to their request entitled "City of Anaheim, General Plan Amendment No. 171--Statement of the Applicant--The Wellington Group," and subsequently submitted the statement to the City Clerk (made a part of the record). He also presented executed copies of Memorandum of Agreement which he referenced in his presentation, signed by two members at large of the Anaheim Shores Owner Association. The Mayor asked if anyone wished to speak, either in favor or opposition. Mr. A1 Kobrick, 1962 West La Palma Avenue, noted that one and two bedroom units were noted. Since the subject project was adjacent to a large park, a grade school, and across the street from a high school, he felt consideration should be given to three- ~nd four-bedroom units as wel~ since the surrounding communities were compatible to families. Mr. Clifford R. Harper, 1975 Bayshore Drive, suggested that the proposed density was high. Seventy units would amount to approximately thirteen dwelling units per net acre, compared to the surrounding area which was R-1 across La Palma, and Anaheim Shores itself was approximately 6.4 dwelling units per net acre. Other objections were, the project would generate a trespassing nuisance on their common areas (Anaheim Shores). There was a tendency for small children to use their lake as a playgound. The planted areas, as well as the area around the lake, were of great concern to the residents. He then presented an opague of a slide which he wished entered into the record. It was basically a map similar to Exhibit "A" showing the scale and density of the housing involved. In summation, Mr. Harper reiterated his concerns regarding the extreme density, over double the surround- ing area, plus the certainty that the children wh0 would be living in the development would want to use their area. He still wanted to see the neighborhood shopping center as originally proposed, or at least a much lower density development. Mr. Harper then clarified for Councilman Bay that he was a member of the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Shores Owners Association (ASOA). The Association elected to neither oppose nor endorse the development, but he, as an individual living very close to it and knowing of the continual problems, elected to come before the Council as an individual to make his concerns known. City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5~ 1982~ 1:30 P.M. Mr. Harper further clarified that relative to his (Bay) concern that every new development be a member of the overall master Homeowners Association, since that was one of the selling points of the original Plan, that the pro- posed development would not fit into the structure of their CC & R's since it was a piece of property never intended to be residential. If, however, the develop- ment were comparable housing to that existing, they would welcome it into their Association. The issue was not the cost relative to the sharing of expenses, but density. Further, if the new residents were to be members of tha Association, he would want to make the amenities as accessible as possible, but, if not, he would like to make them somewhat less accessible. Mr. David Reed, 914 Fairview Street, stated if the proposed revision to the land use was residential and similar to the adjacent area, the people on Fairview Street would have no objection. If they were going to have a density equivalent to a one-bedroom apartment, that was another matter. He reiterated, his personal feelings and those with whom he had discussed the issue in the neighborhood, felt that if the density was similar to the area to the east of the proposed use as shown on Exhibit "A", that would be a fair exchange. After discussion between the Mayor and Mr. Reed relative to the minutes of May 14, 1974, when the Planned Community was established, Miss Santalahti stated in that meeting, the discussion was sometimes net and sometimes gross and she did not believe the terms were commonly ever defined. Sometimes the lake was subtracted and sometimes it was not. In terms of practical interpretation by the Planning Department, when a General Plan designation was discussed, it did mean gross, and typically included public streets. She did not think the issue was so clear that anyone could make a finite statement relative to what was really intended by everybody concerned. When she talked to developers about the property, she felt she was correct in stating that 11.3 was the official figure that appeared in the resolution or in the documentation giving approval to the project. She explained to them that 11.3 was a gross figure on the boundary of the tract involved, whether or not it included a public street. When a net figure was discussed, they were talking on a zoning level. Sometimes the two did not come together very well. The existing Anaheim Shores projects were a slight bit more than 11.3 because they were typically detached units with a fair amount of land area and a lot of private streets. She did not know the exact density, but would supply that at the evening hearing. Councilman Bay then recounted what he recalled of not only the May 14, 1974, hearing when he was present as a citizen, but also the March 19, 1974, hearing when the original General Plan Amendment No. 130 was voted on, the major point being: gross density was never discussed in those days. The new interpretations came along with the recent changes to RM-3000 zoning to use gross, so that the RM-3000 density could be increased and still not go beyond the limits of the General Plan Amendment. He also quoted certain portions of the 1974 minutes which he felt substantiated the fact that net density was being discussed. He maintained that General Plan Amendment No. 130 became Planned Community zoning, and it became the General Plan; therefore, the limitations called out in General Plan Amendment No. 130 and the Planned Community zoning City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5, 1982, 1:30 P.M. and the specific Exhibits 1 through 6 did, in effect, substantially set the General Plan with a limitation that by law could not be changed or exceeded by developments in Anaheim Shores. He had not planned to discuss the matter until this evening, since it was not necessarily germane to the subject General Plan Amendment other than the argument that the General Plan Amendment for the subject section, which was an integral part of the Planned community, be the same as General Plan Amendment No. 130, and, therefore the PC zoning, and set to the same limitations set for the rest of the community. As it changed from Commercial to Residential, and he heard no objection to that, it should still be an integral part of the Planned Community and subject to the same legal limitations as General Plan Amendment No. 130. That would limit it to approximately 11.3 dwelling units per net acre maximum. It would not allow seventy units, but probably considerably less, and closer to what had already been developed in the Anaheim Shores Development. If both developments (the subject development and the Fieldstone development that would be discussed this evening) were held to the original plan based on net densities, they would become a welcome member to the Master Homeowners Association so that the full plan of the overall Anaheim Shores Development would be as agreed to in 1974. Later in the hearing, after further discussion between Council and staff relative to the issue of density, Councilman Bay stated it was time to have a legal opinion from the City Attorney's office on the interpretation of the 1974 minutes and the words and logic flow in those minutes as to the current General Plan Amendment. The assumption was to jump to the gross acreage. He reiterated, in 1974, that would have been something rarely ever discussed. They discussed net, and always did. Working from the basis of gross, they may have been in a position where they not only misled the Planning Commission to a degree, but also the Council, and even the developer involved with the further development of Anaheim Shores on what he considered a misinterpretation of the General Plan as part of the Planned Community. He also wanted to look at the exhibits involved. Those exhibits, as he recalled showed a net and a gross density figure on each of the tracts. Splitting them up and combining them would lead to possibly two or three density limitations. They may even have to bend a little to see that they met the General Plan. The Council had to make up its mind whether it would retain the General Plan commitments and an extension of those densities approved on the whole community, or whether they were going to make a major change and vote as recommended by the Planning Commission for Exhibit "A", which was low to medium density. Mr. Tashiro confirmed since the applicant was proposing condominiums, they would have to develop under the RM-3000 requirement and the maximum permitted density would be 14.5 dwelling units per net acre. 9 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - CO~CIL MINUTES - January 5, 1982~ 1:30 P.M. Councilman Bay stated it should be clearly understood that with the proposed Exhibit "A" Amendment to the General Plan, they were limiting the net density to 14.5 which was above what the current legal General Plan allowed in the whole Anaheim Shores community at present. That was the decision for the Council to make. He thought the whole idea behind added residential was, in fact, to make up to some degree the losses of the acreage that went to the Martin Luther Hospital parking lot and to help solve some of the problems of the Association. That was why he was astounded when he saw an agreement that the Association did not want the group as a member of their Association, until he found out why. The reason was that it was not similar to their development and would, therefore, create legal changes to their CC & R's. Miss Santalahti then clarified for Councilwoman Kaywood and the Mayor that everything thus far that had been approved in the Planned Community, there were 277 units left over to approve for the present site and the site they were going to be discussing this evening. Councilman Bay stated, using onlv the number count, that he did not think by adding density limitations on Exhibits 1 through 6 that those figures would total 982 homes as indicated on Page 10c of the staff report. Those exhibits were the General Plan as it now existed legally. That was why he was interested in what the figures said on those Exhibits. If net, tonight's development would be way beyond the General Plan and illegal to approve. The logical argument was to try to hold to the density as an integral part of the whole plan and that was his view. Dr. Shook, resident of Anaheim Shores, then explained why he became a resident of that community. He was especially pleased when he made the decision to find that further development was going to be consistent. The Council should consider that at tonight,s hearing. Hewanted consistency with the existing development at Anaheim Shores and that the density not be changed. He was happy with what was there at present and he would like to see it continued. Helen Carter, 1945 Bayshore, agreed with Dr. Shook. She moved to Anaheim Shores because it was the kind of place in which she wanted to live and she wanted it continued the way it was begun. The Mayor then gave Mr. Hughes an opportunity for summation. Mr. Fred Hughes stated he would rather ask for a delay to see if it were possible to reach a consensus as to an understanding with regard to density. Relative to the issue of the Community Association, it was necessary to have equity amongst the membership.' It was difficult for him at this time to justify a fee of fifty dollars, or whatever it might be for a facility (the lake) that was not very equitably spread across the membership, and thus, he had concerns with regard to a mandatory association. Relative to the issue of density, he asked that they give an indication to him what that might be before he proceeded. If there were not a great deal of margin as to the number of units, and if it were fifty, it might not be a viable project. They had been dealing in the range of 10 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5, 19829 1:30 P.M. sixty-four to sixty-six units following the calculations he used. He then asked that the matter be delayed one week since his only concern was that prior to any actiun taken changing the ~roperty from Commercial to Residential, that they have a good understanding from the Council as to the number of units that would be allowed. Councilman Bay stated thst he would be agreeable to a delay if for no other reason than the right of the applicant to have some idea of whet he was going to be limited to. MOTION: Councilman Roth moved to continue the public bearing on General Plan Amendment Ne. I71 for one week. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. RECESS: By general consent, the Council recessed for ten minutes. (5:00 p.m.) AFTER RECESS: The Mayor cslled the meeting to order, all Council Members bei~g present. (5:10 p.m.) 156: LOUIS DEXT~ER - REQUEST TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON PUBLIC SAFETY: Mr. Louis Dexter, 305 North Ranchito read, "An Address By Louis Dexter Before the Anaheim City Council, January 5, 1982--Public Safety--.The Two-Edged Sword," (on file in the City C'ierk's office). Starting on Page Three of his presentation, Mr. Dexter outlined three recommendations, the essence of which were as follows: (1) That the Council designate the ~irst week of January, each year, as "Public Safety Week In Anaheim;" (2) That a Public Safety Commission or Board be established by the Council to serve as a forum for public discussion of public safety matters and to help develop citizen "expertise" in public safety matters; (3) That one of the first duties or responsibilities of the Public Safety Co~maissJon or Board will be to develop, in conjunction with ~he professional staff of City Administratio~ and with the guidance add support of the City Council, a Public Safety Plan and that the Public Safety Plan be open to public discussion prior to the City Council's approval and adoption of the plan. After Council questioning of, and debate with, Mr. Dexter relative to some of the information contained in his presentation, the Mayor recommended that Mr. Dexter's written comments be provided to the City Manager, Publi~ Works Director, Fire Chief and Police Chief and ask them to develop information relative to the questions Mr. Dexter raised, as well as some of the questions the Council raised, and to take up the matter again in a couple of weeks. Mr. Dexter should also be provided with a copy of the resultant report in time to have an opportunity to evaluate it before meeting again. MOTION: Councilman Roth moved that a report be submitted as articulated by the Mayor. Councilman Seymour seconded the motion. 11 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5~ t982~ 1:30 P~M. Before action was taken, City Manager William Talley stated they had not seen Mr. Dexter's report and suggested that three weeks' time be given. They would send a copy to Mr. Dexter and'when he was ready to return to the Council, he could do so. Mr. Dexter stated he was in a dilemma si,~ce in newsprint, he promised never to come before the Council again on the matter as an individual. He had formed a Political Action Committee, the details of which were available in the City Clerk's office. If they sent him the report, he would then distribute it to the media as their reaction and response to his request. The Mayor asked for an explanation; Mr. Dexter stated he was no longer working as an individual and after tonight, he would be known as a political acgivist. He reiterated he had formed a Political Action Committee, it was on file, it had an identifiable number and a purpose in mind, that purpose being to disseminate information on public safety, report on elected officials and incumbent officials record of public safety, etc. He would not be appearing again, and if they sent him a copy of the report, he would send it to the media who presently had a copy of the report he just read. Councilman OVerhoit and Councilwoman Kaywood expressed their concern that the media had already seen his presentation and the Council had not. Mr. Dexter stated hE had asked the City Clerk to provide the Council with copies. He also clarified for the City Manager that he (Dexter') asked that no copies be made until after his presentation. Speaking to Mr. Dexter, Mayor Seymour stated heretofore he had played the role in the community of a good watchdog on the Council. Sometimes they had agreed and sometimes not. -Now he had decided to take a 'political approach and he (Seymour) for one felt that was unfortunate because wi>th what Mr. Dexter just stated, it made it difficult for any elected body to work in a positive fashion with him. Relative to today's presentation, he felt it in the best interests, that they would take their time, ask for a report, give a copy to Mr. Dexter and work something out. Now Mr. Oexter was sayiag he was a Political Action Committee and would not even come back and talk with the Council when he thought he was going to try to find a better way to make a better community. Mr. Dexter felt thzt considering what had transpired in the interim w~th his original request for a Public Safety Committee or Commission in 1978, that the gauntlet was now laid down to him. The Mayor asked Councilman Roth to amend his motion that the requested report not' be mailed to Mr. Dexter, i.e., that the report be provided in three weeks and at that time that it be placed on the agenda. Councilman Overholt interjected and stated he was reticent to instruct staff to respond to something the Council had not seen. He suggested that they receive the report, give them an opportunity to look at it, and next week, give direction to staff. 12 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5, 1982~ 1:30 P.M. Mr. Dexter confirmed for Councilman Roth that he had read his report verbatim. Mayor Seymour believed then it would be appropriate to withdraw the motion; Councilman Roth thereupon withdrew his motion and Councilman Seymour, his second. Mayor Seymour concluded that they were going to tell the public how they stood a week from today, after having read Mr. Dexter's report. CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2104 - EXTENSION OF TIME: Request submitted by George and William Nichols, requesting an extension of time to Conditional Use Permit No. 2104, to permit a public dance hall on CL zoned property located at 919 South Knott Street. The extemsion of time was approved by the the Planning Commission, to expire September 2, 1982. A review of the Planning Commission's decision was requested by Councilman Roth at the meeting of October 27, 1981, and a public hearing scheduled and continued from December 1, 1981, for submission of a sound study. Councilman Roth explained the reason he wanted the review was due to the fact they had received complaints from residents living in the apartment units to the north and from a single family residence to the south, across Ball Road, relative to noise. They now had a sound study indicating the noise impacts in those residential areas, along with appropriate recommendations. The Mayor asked if the applicant or applicant's agent was present. Mr. George Nichols, 5732 Edwood Ware Circle, Garden Grove, one of the owners of the public dance hall at 919 South Knott, gave the background revolving around complaints regarding the noise level emanating from his place of business and the area in which it was located. He then explained the noise mitigation measures they had taken since they were informed of the problem. He stated, however, that street noise was higher than any noise emanating from the business. The recent sound check conducted by J. J. Van Houten and Associates recommended that they cover a glass window near the band stage with acoustical tile. They did so, and also purchased curtains for behind the sta§e to stop any bouncin8 of the sound emanating from the rear of the music amplifierm. Am well~ they were willin$ to cooperate with any additional recommendations offered to them by the consulting engineer in an attempt to stop any discomfort to the neighbors. They were willing and anxious to eliminate the problem and did not wish to cause the City any additional expenditures on their behalf. The Mayor asked if anyone wished to speak, either in favor or in opposition. 13 .City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5~ 1982~ 1:30 P.M. Mr. Bill Sammons explained that he owned the Union 76 gas station next door. The establishment was approximately seventy feet from his back door and there was very little noise coming from that place of business to his. Most of the problem was with the other two clubs and he had turned a number of complaints over to the police. The problem was with the "punkers" next door and he had never seen any- one coming from the area of the subject business over to his area, the reason being that Mr. Nichols' club catered to an older group. There being no further persons who wished to speak, the Mayor closed the public hearing. Mr. John Van Houten, Consulting Engineer, then explained that he felt the problem was the fact that there were three rock-and-roll type of establishments in the center and the noise coming from one of these establishments, two, or all three, was associated with a back door being open, a front door being opened, and the noise associated with parking lot activity. He did not think they could look at any one establishment and apply sound controls ~and ignore the fact that there were two other establishments conducting activities of the same type. His noise control recommendations clearly stated that unless applied to all three, they were not going to work. Councilman Roth stated since the applicant stipulated that he would comply with all noise control recommendations as contained in the sound study made by J. J. Van Houten and Associates, dated December 15, 1981 (made a part of the record), he would approve the requested extension of time. MOTION: Councilman Roth moved to approve the extension of time of Conditional Use Permit No. 2104 to September 2, 1982, subject to compliance with the noise control recommendations outlined in the sound study made by J. J. Van Houten & Associates, dated December 15, 1981, to be accomplished in ninety days. Council- man Overholt seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. MOTION: Councilman Bay moved that a copy of the Van Houten report be forwarded to the other two establishments in the center with a letter from the Council advising that they also comply with the corrective action requests as well. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. Before concluding, Mr. Kobrick, 1962 West La Palma, stated that they should consider everybody's welfare and assure that proper decible levels were main- rained. 169/108: CLOSURE OF FRA~NCES DRIVE AND AN APPEAT. OF AMUSEMENT ARCADE APPLICATION FOR THE PIZZA STORE: To 'consider the possible closure of the westerly terminus of Frances Drive which leads into the parking lot of the shopping center located at the southeast corner of Euclid Street and La Palma Avenue; and to consider an appeal of the decision of the Planning Director denying an Amusement Arcade Permit Application for The Pizza Store, 1000 North Euclid Street, filed by John Guarascio, continued from the meeting of November 10, 1981 (see minutes that date). 14 City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5, 1982, 1:30 P.M. The Mayor asked to hear from those who wished to speak in opposition. Mrs° Marie McDonald, 1005 Dresden Street, stated that she was personally against the Amusement Arcade Application, but if a ten-foot noise abatement wall was constructed between the stores and the residences on Dresden, she would approve. She then submitted pictures showing conditions presently existing in and around the shopping center, upon which she elaborated. While there were many problems, their main concerns revolved around the noise and traffic generated from the Pizza Store, and also the situation involving the Alpha Beta store with the unloading of their trucks twenty-four hours a day. Since the store had been remodeled and expanded, only one truck at a time could be unloaded while other trucks waited their turn with their engines running, resulting in fumes, noise and an intrusion of privacy into the rear yards of the residents' homes on Dresden. There was also a noise problem from the market's trash compactor and they had contacted Alpha Beta many times over the years with regard to such problems. There was also a problem of noise with the photo studio which closed at 4:00 a.m., and the employees subsequently congregated outside and then had to warm up their vehicles before leaving. She also reiterated additional concerns which were expressed and summarized at the meeting of November 10, 1981 (see minutes that date). Traffic Engineer Paul Singer then gave BDT counts on Dresden and surrounding streets as requested by Mrs. McDonald (see report dated December 29, 1981, from the Engineering Division). Mr. A1 Roth, 1512 Frances Drive, favored the closure of Frances Drive to help alleviate some of the problems they were experiencing; Cathy Brokup, 1009 North Dresden, then submitted a petition signed by a number of residents surrounding the subject shopping center (made a part of the record) and read a list of their concerns, which were attached to the signature pages. She personally was not against two or three additional machines being added to the Pizza Store, but she and the people she had talked with wanted help in eliminating the congregat- ing and drinking that went on behind the business. Further, all thirty-six people who signed the petition were in favor of the closure of Frances Drive. Elaine Patterson, 1622 Catherine Drive, expressed her concern relative to the nursery located on the corner of Euclid Street and Catherine Drive, which generated considerable traffic. She maintained if Frances Drive were closed, more tra{{ic would be diverted onto Catherine Drive as a result. She felt it was only fair that the people on Frances Drive share the responsibility of the traffic burden for the whole neighborhood. She was, therefore, opposed to the closure of Frances Drive but had signed the petition against the request for an Amusement Arcade Application. Mildred Miller, 1633 Catherine Drive, stated she was against the Pizza Store Amusement Arcade Application to add additional machines and also against the closure of Frances Drive. 15 City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Januar~ 5, 1982~ 1:30 P.M. The following people also spoke against the request for additional amusement devices but also against the closure of Frances Drive: Mrs. Billie Strickland, 1623 Catherine Drive; Georgia Boyer, Catherine Drive; Edna Straight, 1606 Catherine Drive; and Ginger Oswald, 1526 Frances Drive, spoke against the request for additional amusement devices for the closure of Frances Drive. Mr. John Guarascio, owner of the Pizza Store, stated he was sympathetic to the problems expressed by the residents. He could not personally control many of those problems but stated that he was in support of their views and would like to see whatever could be done to alleviate the problems. He then answered some of the concerns expressed as he had at the meeting of November 10, 1981 (see minutes that date). In concluding, he requested a "yes" vote from the Council on his petition to add additional machines to his business. His request was not something that was aggravating the problems at the shopping center. He then confirmed for Councilman Overholt that relative to his feeling on the closure of Frances Drive, from a businessman's standpoint, he felt closure would be detrimental to the businesses in the center, but if he were a homeowner in the area, he would be sympathetic to closing the street. There being no further persons who wished to speak, the Mayor closed the public hearing. The Council then asked to hear from the representative from Alpha Beta, who was present in the Chamber audience. Ms. Elaine Guest, representative of Alpha Beta's Real Estate Department, La Habra, stated her purpose in being present was primarily for observation, and they were also concerned relative to the closure of Frances Drive. In talking to the store manager, he felt a tremendous amount of his customers were using that access, it was a convenience to them, and he personally did not want to see it closed. The Mayor then showed Ms. Guest the pictures that were submitted by Mrs. McDonald, specifically those involving the Alpha Beta trucks intruding into the residents' back yards on Dresden, and referred to the testimony given relative to the noise, fumes, litter, etc., generating from the Alpha Beta property. He cautioned that she should inform the management if they did not clean up their act there was going to be more action than the closure of Frances Drive. He urged her to speak to the Alpha Beta management and have them get together with the other owners of the property to resolve the problems in the center. Ms. Guest explained it was a fragmentized center. She had researched the files and there was not even a reciprocal parking agreement with adjacent property owners. She then addressed some of the problems as expressed by the residents upon Council questioning and specifically explained that truck loading and unloading could not commence before 7:00 a.m., nor continue after 10:00 p.m. If employees were abusing that time frame, they were going against Alpha Beta's policy as well as store policy. It would be investigated and stopped. She agreed that everything possible should be done from their stand point to resolve the problems expressed. 16 City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5, 1982, 1:30 P.M. Councilman Overholt felt the problem lay in the fact that there were multiple owners of the center and certain owners were unwilling tO spend a dime to improve it. Mayor Seymour stated it appeared the biggest problem was th~ fact that the subject was a shopping center that was designed twenty-five years .ago, it was now under separate ownership, and there was no control on the property for maintenance and upkeep'. Relative to the request for an Amusement Devices Permit, he did not see anything wrong with the request to add three machines t~ those already existing at the Pizza Store. Approval was not going to make any difference with regard to the problems that were occurring. They had to attack the conditions existing in the center and he, therefore, suggested that a notification be sent to ail property owners of the center, as well as tenants,-setting up a meeting with appropriate City staff, and also two members of the Council who would express the Council's concern for the neighborhood, the cleanliness of the center, the drinking tha~was occurri~g on the premises, etc. The ~olice Department' should also be involved. They should do all possible with regard to Alpha Beta to minimJ, ze the disturbance that store created in the environment. Both Councilmen Roth and Overholt felt that the Mayor's recommendation was a good one. Councilman Overholt commented further that he did not feel tha~ three more machines in the Pizza Store was going to make any difference, one way or the other. Councilwoman Kaywood expressed her opposition to allowing more machines at this time. If everythin~ was cleaned up and they were able to get all of the owners together to assure their responsiveness to the surrounding residential area, the Council could then consider the ~equest for additional machines. Councilman Bay volunteered to serve on the committee outlined by the Mayor. He asked that a time limit be set so the residents would know when something was going to be done; Councilman Overholt also volunteered to be on the committee. MOTION: Councilman Seymour moved that Councilmembers Overholt and Bay serve as a liaison committee from the Council to meet with appropriate City staff and property owners, as well as interested tenants of the subject shopping center, an~ report bac~ to the Council with the intent of conducting a public hearing within forty-five days with their specific recommendations as to improve- ments to be made in that shoppin8 center. Councilman Roth seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. Councilman Seymour offered Resolution Nc. 82R-5 for adoption, disapproving the closure of Frances Drive, thereby accepting staff's recommendation in report dated December 29, 1981, that it remain open.~ Refer to Resolution Book. 17 City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5~ 1982, 1:30 P.M. RESOLUTION NO. 82R-5: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM DISAPPROVING THE CLOSURE OF FRANCES DRIVE TO VEHICULAR TRAFFIC AT ITS WESTERLY TERMINUS PURSUANT TO SECTION 21101 OF THE VEHICLE CODE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

MOTION: Councilman Seymour moved that the Amusement Arcade Permit Application submitted by Mr. John Guarascio for the Pizza Store, 1000 North Euclid Avenue, for three additional machines, be approved. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood stated she was going to have to oppose the motion until there was some positive change in the problems now existing in the center. Councilman Bay stated he would prefer to see a decision on the application to wait sixty days since they had forty-five days to look at the existing problems. A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. Council Members Kaywood and Bay voted "no". MOTION CARRIED. RECESS: By general aonsent the Council recessed for fifteen minutes. (7:37 p.m.) AFTER RECESS: The Mayor called the meeting to order, all Council Members being present. (7:55 p.m.) Before proceeding, Councilman Roth stated that since he owned property at 1000 East Lincoln Avenue, located within the boundaries of Project Alpha, and upon advice of legal counsel, he would abstain from discussion and voting on all matters to be considered relative to the Third Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Flan Alpha. Councilman R0th left the Council Chambers. (7:56 p.m.) PUBLIC HEARING ~ GENERAL.PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 172: Amendment to the Land Use Element, to consider an alternate proposal of land use from the current Medium Density Residential designation to General Commercial designation for approximately 3.1 acres of land bounded on the north hy Cypress Street, south by Lincoln Avenue, east by an alley and Helena Street and the west by Harbor Boulevard. 18 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5, 1982, 1:30 P.M. Mr. Jay Tashiro, Associate Planner, briefed the staff report to the Planning Commission, dated November 16, 1981, relative to the subject property, a City- initiated General Plan Amendment to change the current Medium Density Residential designation to General Commercial, consisting of 1.0 acres of undeveloped site bounded on the north by Cypress Street, south by Chartres Street, east by an alley and Helena Street, and west by Harbor Boulevard, and a 2.1 acre site currently developed with commercial office buildings (El Camino Business Center) bounded on the north by Chartres Street, south by Lincoln Avenue, east by Helena Street and west by Harbor Boulevard. The City Planning Commission, in their Resolution No. PC81-246, recommended approval of Exhibit "B" (which was posted on the Chamber wall) designating the entire area for Commercial, Office and Professions1 uses. The project area was covered under Environmental Impact Report No. 189 which was previously approved. The Mayor then asked if anyone wished to speak to General Plan Amendment No. 172. Mr. Larry King, 218 South Florette Avenue, stated he failed to see the necessity for the proposed General Plan Amendment. The area under discussion was promised to be continued as a residential area a~ the time meetings were held in the main library. Also, the Project Area Committee resolved they were opposed, with one abstention. They saw no reason for allowing commercial which would be backed up to housing and across the street from the park. There being no further persons who wished to speak, the Mayor closed the public hearing. Mayor Seymour then announced that having completed receiving testimony on the General Plan Amendment, they were now scheduled to take testimony on a proposed Third Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Alpha. He therefore, suggested that they defer discussion and a decision on the proposed General Plan Amendment Until the conclusion of the hearing on the proposed Redevelopment Plan Amendment. Chairman Seymour thcreupon reconvened the meeting of the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency, all agency members being present with the exception of Mr. Roth. (8:07 p.m.) Mayor Seymour then asked the Commission/Agency Secretary to call the roll for the Redevelopment Agency and the Redevelopment Commission: PRESENT: TEMPORARILY ABSENT: PRESENT: REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEMBERS: Overholt, Kaywood, Bay and Seymour REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEMBERS: Roth CITY MANAGER: William O.

Mayor Seymour asked the Redevelopment Agency'~s Executive Director, Norman Priest, to begin the presentation for the Agency. Mr. Norman Priest then introduced the following to Agency Members; Mr. Bruce Ballmer, Special Counsel, Mr. Phil Gardner, Development Services Manager, Mr. Michael Welch, Associate Planner, Ms. Roberta Costa, Real Estate Development Specialist. Mr. Priest then explained and briefed the Council/Agency/Community Redevelopment Commission on the documents covering the proposed Third Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan, all of which were contained in the information package previously submitted to the Agency (on file in the City Clerk's office), as well as supporting documentation. Recommendations (1 through 5) were outlined in memorandum dated December 28, 1981, from the Executive Director. In concluding his presentation, Mr. Priest noted that as required by law, the Plan and Plan Report were submitted to the Project Area Committee (PAC) who met and deliberated the matter at their meeting of November 24, 1981, and as a result, submitted letter dated November 25, 1981 (on file in the City Clerk's office), which he read. PAC had voted unanimously (one member not participating because of a possible conflict of interest) to recommend that the land use not be changed from residential to general commercial, listing four reasons for their vote. With the Committee's failure to approve the Plan, it would require that the Council/Agency adopt the Plan Amendment with four votes. City Attorney William Hopkins then clarified for Councilman Overholt that only three votes would be necessary to adopt the plan since Councilman R0th was not participating. The Mayor then opened the hearing to public testimony on the proposed Third Amendment tO the Redevelopment Plan asking first to hear from those in opposition. He noted that Mr. Larry King, under the Council portion, when discussing General Plan Amendment No. 172, had registered opposition to the proposal. He invited Mr. King to come forward if he wished to register his opposition again under this portion of the meeting. Mr. King communicated to the Mayor from the audience that he felt that he had covered what he had to say in opposition under the previous portion of the meeting. 2O City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5~ 1982~ 1:30 P.M. Mr. Kobrick, 1962 La Palma, asked what type of commercial was proposed, and Mr. Priest answered, professional-office type commercial; Mr. Tashiro confirmed that the Planning Commission had approved Exhibit "B", commercial-professional office type uses, excluding retail. The Mayor then asked to hear from those persons in favor of the proposed Third Amendment; there was no response. The Deputy City Clerk confirmed that no written comments had been received up until this time. There being no further persons who wished to speak, either in favor or opposition, the Mayor closed the joint public hearing on the Redevelopment Plan Amendment for the Council/Redevelopment Agency. Mr. Leo, Chairman of the Community Redevelopment Commission, declared the joint public hearing on the Redevelopment Plan Amendment closed for the Commission. Council Members Kaywood, Bay, Seymour and Overholt respectively commented on why they favored the recommended action to approve the proposed Third Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Alpha.

Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall present evidence satisfactory to the Chief Building Inspector that the units will be in conformance with Noise Insulation Standards specified in the California AdministratiVe Code, Title 25. 16. That the proposed subdivision shall provide, to the extent feasible, for passive or natural heating and cooling opportunities. Miss Annika Santalahti, Assistant Planning Director for Zoning, described the location and surrounding land uses. She outlined the findings given in the staff report which was submitted to and considered by the Planning Commission. Miss Santalahti also added that the existing projects, which included five partially constructed tracts, had an overall density per net acre, excluding both public and private streets, of 8.6 dwelling units per acre. The gross density, including public streets, was 6.8 units per acre, which accounted for 217 dwelling units on approximately 31 gross acres, or 25 net acres. The two tracts approved on the westerly boundary of the Anaheim Shores project were for 125 units on 19.3 gross acres with a gross density of 6.4 units and a net density of 8.5 on 14.6 acres, again excluding both public and private streets. There was a subsequent zone change and now the zoning interpretation would only exclude public streets. The current project had a gross acreage of approximately 9.96, a net of approximately 7.08, with 105 units, or 14.8 units per net acre, excluding only public streets, or 10.5 per gross acre. Adding up the units, including the current project', and subtracting the 24 units which were originally to be built in what was now going to be a parking lot area for the Martin Luther Hospital, gave the entire project a total of 423 units on a total acreage of 61.14. That was a gross density of 6.91 and a net density of 9.02 on a net acreage of 46.88. The entire project was approved for 982 units and the interpretation that staff had on the project and given to the developers was an overall density of 11.3. If a developer had gone in on one part of it with five units to the acre, another developer 27 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5, 1982, 1:30 P.M. might potentially have been able to exceed the 11.3 because the average total project density would still have been 11.3 or lower. Right now, even if the subject project were approved, it would be under the 11.3 project-wide. At the conclusion of Miss Santalahti's presentation, Councilman Bay referred to the motion made by the Planning Commission, quoting the latter portion, "...that subject to the petitioner's stipulation to continue negotiations with the existing Anaheim Shores Owners Association to work out an acceptable agreement pertaining to the maintenance and liability of the lake with the developer stipulating to participate in a pro-rata share of those costs and subject to the following conditions..." He felt that portion of the motion made by the Planning Commission was germane and should have been in the staff report. The Mayor asked to hear from the applicant or applicant's agent. Mr. David Langlois, 12422 LaBella, Santa Ana, representing the Fieldstone Company, first asked that the site plan exhibit be posted on the Chamber wall for reference purposes. He felt they had met all the requirements of the existing zoning and, quoting from the staff report to the Planning Commission, "...the adopted zoning element of the Anaheim Shores General Planned Community designates the property for Low-Medium Density Residential Land Uses, permitting 11.3 dwelling units per gross acre." He pointed out that they were significantly below the number of units permitted under that zoning. They also met or exceeded all the other requirements of the zoning with the exception of the minor variance which staff mentioned. He also wanted to make it clear at this point, since there had been a great deal of discussion on the matter, that the Fieldstone Company always recognized their obligation to contribute to the maintenance of the lake and the surrounding greenbelt areas in some fashion. The problem arose relative to the fact that in reading the CC & R's of the Homeowners Association, it was impossible to place a condominium project within their existing Association without a complete overhaul of those CC & R's. After elaborating upon that issue, and upon the direction of the Planning Com~ssion to come to some solution, they hired a law firm who came up with an umbrella organization made up of members of the existing Anaheim Shores Owners Association (ASOA) who had the ability to set the budget, to set the rules for the use of the Association properties, and to adopt any regulations they wished over the use of the property. The only rights the Condominium Association would have would be the right of approval of the budgets and regulations. Once the budget was set, then the Fieldstone Association would be billed for their pro-rata share and obligated to pay. The proposal wa~ reviewed by the Board o£ the Homeowners Association in favor of the position of constructing some type of wall between the two developments. They (Fieldstone) felt strongly that a wall or any.type of physical barrier running through the center of Anaheim Shores was not good planning and unfair to the future residents living in their project. It would also not solve the problem the home owners had now of trespassing and vandalism. 28 City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5, 1982~ 1:30 P.M. Before proceeding, Councilman Bay challenged staff's opinion and asked for a legal opinion from the City Attorney's office on the interpretation of the Council minutes relative to the intent of the minutes of bey 14, 1974, as well as March 19, 1974, if necessary, regarding the planned community zoning on Anaheim Shores and the question of gross versus net on density. His interpretation, as he voiced it at an earlier hearing today, was that only net densities were discussed in 1974 during those hearings. He wanted to know whether his interpretation of PC zoning in Anaheim Shores, which, in effect, was the General Plan limitation, was as he saw it or as the staff reported of 11.3 gross, which he maintained was 11.3 net. Assistant City Attorney, Jack White, stated that the issue was with reference to Condition No. 13 of Resolution No. 74R-235, the Resolution of Intent to the PC zone, adopted on May 14, 1974, as amended, that provision being that basically the property be developed in accordance with Exhibits 1, 2, and Revisions No. 1 of Exhibits No. 3, 4, 5 and 6, which were posted on the Chamber wall. The conditions further state, however, that the proposed multiple family apartments on the exhibits be deleted and replaced with condominiums or planned residential units with a density not to exceed 11.3 per acre. It did not say net or gross in that Condition. To determine whether or not it was gross or net, they reviewed the minutes of both meetings, March 19, 1974, and May 19, 1974, and it was clear that predominantly the discussion of density and when figures were mentioned in connection therewith, reference was to net density in both meetings. There were also instances where it was clear that gross was the term being discussed, even though not differentiated. He continued that the pertinent point of the minutes came in the May 14, 1974, hearing, page 74-506, which was a discussion by Mr. Jim Christiansen, where he indicated his firm would be amenable to the removal of the apartment portion and the replacement of that section with condominiums, which would lower the density to approximately 11.3 units to the acre, overall. He (White) was under the assumption that the Council's action was basically to implement the proposal by Mr. Christiansen and that the density be 11.3 units to the acre, overall. Planning staff previously indicated that in connection with this project, they had interpreted that to mean the total project density for the entire residential area would not exceed 11.3 units to the acre. He could not disagree with that as being an unreasonable interpretation. If that was a true and correct interpretation, then necessarily it also had to be true that the reference to the 11.3 per acre was a reference to net and not gross because the original Plan, as proposed, showed 10.8 units per gross acre. The net density was shown originally as 12.8, and then reduced to 12.0. Ultimately, the intent of the particular Amendment was to reduce it to 11.3. One unresolved issue remained with which the Council had to deal which involved an interpretation he felt was a factual decision the Council must make in interpreting the General Plan and the PC Plan, whether or not the 11.3 units per net acre was meant to be an absolute number applied to each particular 29 City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5, 1982, 1:30 P.M. project in the development or an average that could not be exceeded for the project as a whole. Taking the latter interpretation, it was clear that the subject project, even though exceeding 11.3 units per net acre, would not cause the project to exceed 11.3 units per acre when taken as an average. The Council must make the decision as to which way the General Plan was to be interpreted in that regard. Finally, as to the approximate westerly one/half of the proposed development, the original PC Plan and General Plan showed a maximum density of 10.9 units per net acre and 9.9 per gross acre. They were going to have to make a finding as to whether or not the project was in conformance with the General Plan. At the same time, the prerequisite to approving any tentative tract was to make a finding that the project conformed to the City's General Plan. It was incumbent upon the Council to face both issues as to the 11.3 overall density and the portion of the project sho%m on the plan as a maximum of 10.9 units net density. He also confirmed for Councilman Bay that legally, it would be difficult to defend an interpretation which excluded from the net density calculation any- thing other than the public and private streets, as shown on the plan. Miss Santalahti also clarified that the only instance in which public and private streets were not subtracted was in the Fieldstone project. Later in the meeting, Mr. White also clarified for the Mayor that if the Council would find that the General Plan interpretation was 11.3 net overall, then the subject proposal would comply. Mr. Langlois then reported when they first purchased the property, they questioned the Planning Division as to the zoning of the property and the number of units that would be allowed. The representations made were clearly based on 11.3 units per gross acre and those representations had been made consistently over the past eight years. Reading the Planning Commission report, it stated clearly that the zoning was based on 11.3 dwelling units per gross acre, and it was also very clear in the Planning Commission staff report that the City Council established the 982 units on an overall basis. They had spent a considerable amount of money proceeding on those representa- tions. Extensive discussion then followed between the Council and staff upon the conclusion of.which, the Mayor asked to hear first from those in favor of the project and then those in opposition. 3O City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5, 1982, 1:30 P.M. There being no persons who wished to speak in favor, the following people spoke in opposition and listed are the major points of their concern. Mr. Clifford R. Harper, 1975 Bayshore, Member of the Board of Directors of Anaheim Shores Owners Association (ASOA), speaking on behalf of and with the authority of the Board of Directors and speaking as spokesmam this evening, stated that they felt the proposed development would not conform to the PC development. One of the major problems was continual trespassing around their lake from people not members of the Association, as well as problems of litter, vandalism, harassment of the ducks, and late night parties which were of considerable inconvenience to the residents. That was the problem with a high density alien development to Anaheim Shores over which they had no control. He then supplemented his presentation with a slide which further illustrated the points made. The 105 units proposed by Fieldstone to the north, and the 70 units proposed by the Wellington group to the south, represented 175 units, the same amount of lots presently existing in their development. There were no provisions in the CC & R's of the ASOA to include unlike units. They had worked on the possibility of modifying their CC & R's to accommodate other people and exchanged several thoughts on the subject with Fieldstone. He thereupon submitted the two letters he had sent to Mr. Langl~is (Fieldstone), the first dated November 17, 1981, and the second dated December 19, 1981, in which their position was modified slightly (both letters made a part of the record). They felt they had paid for the lake and lot premiums were also charged. It belonged to the ASOA and should not be given away. The proper way to gain access was to join the Homeowners Association. With no annexation, they felt they would have no control or community identity they had presently, and thus, they did not want the project. They were not happy with the prospect of having a completely alien community geared toward family units with two and three bedrooms at a much higher density than presently existing, twice what they had, invade their area. They represented 175 homes and families who wanted to live in a well-developed, planned community. He asked that the Council reconfirm the decision made in 1974 to adhere to the planned development and not allow high-density developments which did not conform. Mr. Bob Dagenai$, 1148 Boatswain Circle, Member of the ASOA Board of Directors, then entered into the record two documents, Department of Real Estate of the State of California--Final Subdivision Public Report--File No. 38598 issued March 14, 1977, and File No. 40322 issued December 29, 1977 (made a part of the racord: h0waver, the~e two rep0rt~ wera already a part of tha racord). Working from the slide presented by Mr. Harper, he pointed to the seven increments, or phases, that made up Anaheim Shores, noting from both Subdivision Public Reports that "The project is proposed to contain a total of seven increments and 394 residential lots." Pointing to the subject area, he contended that would allow only 51 units for Phase Seven. That was the intent of the builders, developers and City Council at the time. This was what the people who bought and were living in Anaheim Shores were expecting--51 similar houses to what was presently existing. 31 City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5~ 1982~ 1:30 P.M. Mr. Henry R. Hutchinson, 1866 West Surf Drive, referred to the letter he sub- mitted dated January 4, 1982 (previously made a part of the record), outlining his points of opposition, reiterating one point, that being the question--how were they going to protect their investment. The people along the greenbelts and the lakes were policemen for their community. They had to have protection so that if their assets were damaged, they would have some recourse. Mr. Joe Carter, 1945 Bayshore, stated he believed the community was intended to be 394 residential lots with a building on each lot. If followed through, the proposed project would consist of 50 units and not 105. Mr. Larry McNanny (Lot 8 of the Second Phase), explained the problems he en- countered in trying to police the area since he was a "watchdog" at his end of the lake. Mrs. Linda Sullivan (Lot 34, First Phase), stated they bought with the idea that the community was going to consist of single-family residences. She would also prefer a wall to giving away the lake. Mr. Leo Lake, 1894 West Surf, explained that the swimming pool area was used year-round and there was also a jacuzzi. That expense had to be figured as part of the communal attractive activities. It was a fenced area and keys were issued to Association members. P~. Harry Chow, Jr., 1116 North Voyager, stated he enjoyed the environment surrounding the lake. Phase I, II and III had a wall and the Wellington group (potential development at La Palma and Romneya) was proposing to construct a solid wall. He was concerned about the people in the new developments using the amenities of Anaheim Shores. The Wellington group had offered to do what- ever they could but'Fieldstone had not. He was also concerned about the liability involved if, for instance, someone drowned in 'their lake. They had to do something to protect their own people. He urged the Council to keep to the original Plan of 1974 and develop the area into single-family lots. Donna Holt, 1995 Bayshore, wanted less density than what was being proposed, and also, the development should contribute to the amenities existing in Anaheim Shores. Councilman Bay then asked for a show of hands of those opposed to the subject project; there were approximately 25 people present in opposition. Mr. Clifford Harper, in.concluding his s,~mmation, stated that downgrading the density and changing the structure to something that could be annexed to their Association would be acceptable. The Mayor asked the applicant to make his summation, answering some of the questions that had been raised. 32 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5~ 19827 1:30 P.M. Mr. Langlois stated the existing CC & R~s would not allow them to become a part of the community but they were willing to pay their pro-rata share in perpetuity through the mechanism he discussed developed by the law firm who formed the Lake Mission Viejo Association, which would leave the control of the lake in the hands of the existing ASOA. They Would set the budget, determine .the rules, and once the budget was established, then the Condominium. Owo. ers Association would have to pay their pro-rata share of that budget in perpetuity. They were willing to share the cost and cooperate in the maintenance of the lake and were willing to have that control in the hands of the ASOA. Relative to the problem of trespassing and vandalism on the Association property, at present there was open access. Although he was not sayimg that a build-out would solve that problem, if the Condominium Association had a stake in that community, they were also going to take on some of thE: burden to police the area. If th~ p~oject was approved, they would stand by the stipulation they made before the Planning Commission that they would work a solution out with the Board of Directors of the ASOA. Councilwoman Kaywood asked Mr. Langlois the m~ximum number of units he could build and still have a financially feasible project. Mr. Langlois answered that to go much below 105 units would work a hardship and an honest answer would be 101 units. He also confirmed for C~unciiwoman Overholt that should the density be reduced below 101 units, that would endanger their project. A reduction would not address the issue of the home owners. They did not want condominiums, brt single-family detached houses and a project that could be annexed directly into their CC & R~s'. There was no significant number they could decrease their project that would be meaningful. He further confirmed for Councilman Bay that the documen~ he was referring to previously had an insurance clause contained therein binding both Associmtions to carry adequate insurance relative to liability. There being no further persons who wished to speak, the Mayor closed the public hearing. b~. Peter Och$, Presidemg and major o~ner of Fieldstone, stated that being the person who would either pay for the down-zone or the wall or whatever, answering the question relative to the wall, if t~at was a condition tha~ the Council needed to impose, while he totally agreed with Mr. Langlois that it was bad planning, in order to preserve the density requested the answer was yes, they would do that. Relative to the question on the density issue, the project would not work at anything much more than a couple of units less thzn its current density. They could not make it work at lower densities even if it were single family rathcr than condominiums. 33 City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5~ 1982~ 1:30 P.M. Councilman Bay stated his position had not changed. He did not intend to vote for development in the subject area of over 11.3 net density, whatever the development might be, since that meant the intent of the General Plan. Later in the hearing, he also emphasized that he did not believe that the intent was to end up with the last developments in Anaheim Shores coming in at 17.3 which would be the net figure recalculated based on the interpretation of net that was on the map at the time the development was proposed. Miss Santalahti also clarified that the developer was seeking a variance involving three additional units over and above the new RM-3000 zoning. Councilman Seymour stated his whole point was the fact that they had laid out a Planned Community in 1974 and to the best of their ability they should follow through on that. If not, they should adhere to the current standards. Councilwoman Kaywood stated she could not approve the project at 105 units. Councilman Overholt stated he agreed with what Councilman Bay said, using the overall concept, he (Bay) felt density shouid not all be unloaded on the last parcel. He was concerned with the commitment to the people in Anaheim Shores. His concept of the Planned Community was that the Plan was made in 1974. Whatever the philosophies and arguments, the subject project was sub- stantially removed from what the people must have had in mind in 1974. He intended to support the position that Councilman Bay had been proposing. Councilwoman Kaywood thereupon offered a Resolution denying the Reclassifica- tion and Variance. Before action was taken, Mayor Seymour stated he was going to oppose the Resolution for all .the reasons he articulated earlier in the evening. If there should be room for some reasonable reduction in density, that would be in order, such as to the current standards that applied or such as what he knew was intended by the original PC development. He could support that type of flexibility or the type of flexibility that would wall off the community as he described in the event the ASOA did not want to accept the development. What was taking place this evening was a total turnaround of what had been committed to the Planned Community Development and what had been promised to the owner of the subject property by staff. Councilman Overholt stated he would be influenced by some flexibility but he had not seen that on the part of the developer tonight and it might not be economically possible. In supporting the Resolution, he felt to the best of his ability he was voting to carry out the agreement on the Planned Community. In response to Councilwoman Kaywood, Miss Santalahti explained and confirmed that if the project were analyzed on the basis of subtracting public and private streets, the total number of units would be 68.365. If analyzed on the basis of subtracting only public streets, as stated in the current RM-3000 zone, it would be approximately 80 units. 34 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 5, 1982, 1:30 P.M. Councilwoman Kaywood stated if it were 68 units, she could approve the Reclassifi- cation on that basis, but still oppose the Variance; Miss Santalahti stated without a Variance and going with the interpretation that 11.3 was an overall Anaheim Shores figure, 102 units would comply with Code. From the audience, Mr. Ochs suggested that one solution might be to continue the matter for one week, not for them to change or revise their plans necessarily, but for the staff to do more homework, and perhaps themselves also, and to discuss what the original interpretations were, what they meant, and what they would be if applied today. Discussion then followed between Council and staff relative to a possible continuance during which Mr. Fred Hughes, President of the Wellington group, stated that his opinion was that there may be some precedent that would be set relative to density, but the conditions of the parcel he was representing were quite different from what was being discussed tonight. MOTION: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to continue the subject public hearing on Reclassification No. 81-82-3, Variance No. 3238 and Tentative Tract No. 11637 for two weeks to January 19, 1982, at 3:00 p.m. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood stated that she was not looking to reopen the entire hearing. The message was clear, the density was too high and she could not accept that. The Council was ready to deny the project and Mr. Ochs asked for a delay. She did not believe that it was necessary for all of the Homeowners Association to be in attendance again; Councilman Overholt asked Mr. Harper if he could be present. Mr. Harper indicated he could probably take off from work. A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED.
