PETITION - HARBOR BOULEVARD SPEED LIMIT: Petition requesting an increase in speed limit on Harbor Boulevard, submitted by Mr. Les Kraft, et al, was reviewed by the City Council together with reports from the City Engineer. Mr. Les Kraft, 12661Lampson Avenue, Garden Grove, addressed the Council representing the petitioners, estimating that traffic on Harbor Boulevard within the City of Anaheim generally averaged 30 to 35 miles per hour, and the 25 mile per hour speed limit seemed unrealistic, especially since the posted limit was apparently seldom enforced. Because he was employed in Fullerton, he traveled the Boulevard daily and was of the opinion that the traffic congestion and hazards could be alleviated by an increase in the speed limit. It was noted by the City Council that many of those who signed the petition were residents of other cities, while others did not give any address. in answer to Council questioning, Mr. Kraft reported that he obtained petition signatures from his fellow employees, and from residents of A~aheim and nearby cities who traveled Harbor Boulevard. Lieutenant Alvin E. Rogers of the Anaheim Police Department, Traffic Division, reported to the Council on the policy for enforcement of posted speed limits, and no,ed that th~ record of traffic citations on Harbor Boulevard ~S ~qua! to thos~ of other streets carrying the same amount of traffic. 9421 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 10, 1966, 1:30 P.M. Discussion was held by the City Council, City Manager and City Attorney, and attention was called to the remote control, variable type speed limit signs which were projected for installation during the coming year and would allow adjustment of the speed limit in accordance with traffic conditions. Also discussed was the action taken by the Council March 1, 1966, directing the preparation of an ordinance to provide as of September 1, 1966 there will be no parking on either side of Harbor Boulevard between Broadway and Ball Road, with the exception of those areas were dedication has been sufficient for the ultimate widening of the street, in accordance with the Master Plan of Streets and Highways. At the conclusion of the discussion, Councilman Chandler moved that the request to increase the speed limit on Harbor Boulevard, be taken off agenda to be rescheduled on receipt of further report from the Traffic Engineer after the "No Parking" ordinance for South Harbor Boulevard becomes effective. Councilman Pebley seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. SIDEWALK WAIVER - 1136 NORTH BROOKHURST STREET: Request of H. K. Marvin for waiver of sidewalk requirement at 1136 North Brookhurst Street, was submitted. Mr. Marvin addressed the Council noting that if installed at ultimate location, the required sidewalk would not align with existing sidewalk on property adjacent to the south, which is at the present curb. On the recommendations of the City Engineer, Councilman Chandler moved that temporary sidewalk waiver be denied, that sidewalks be constructed adjacent to existing curb, subject to no permanent planting or permanent type improvement be permitted within the area reserved for future sidewalk. Councilman Schutte seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

PUBLIC HEARING - VARIANCE NO. 1774: Submitted by Gulf Oil Corporation requesting waivers of (1) maximum number of signs permitted, (2) maximum sign height, (3) maximum permitted sign area, and (a) waiver of sign location, on on property zoned M-1 and P-L, located at 3105 East La Palms Avenue (Dowlin9 Street intersection). The City Planning Commission pursuant to Resolution No. 1986, Series 1965-66, denied said variance. Appeal from action taken by the City Planning Commission was filed by the agent for the applicant, and public hearing scheduled this date. Mr. Thompson noted the location of subject property, advising that three other existing service stations are located at the intersection of Dowlin9 Street and La Palms Avenue, and they have signs similar to those requested; and he called attention to findings of the City Planning Commission in denying subject application, Mayor Krein asked if a representative of the petitioners wished to address the City Council. 9428 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May-lO~ 1966~ 1:30 P.M. Mr. Jim Brooks, of General Maintenance Company, the sign company representing %he a~plicants, advised that although originally a maximum height of 76 feet was requested for their free-standing sign, in subsequent discussions with Gulf Oil Company representatives, it has been determined that a height of 53 feet would be sufficient. He submitted photographs for Council review, illustrating existin9 signs at the three corners of the intersection, and a view of the intersection from a distance (photographs were retained for the file). Mr. Brooks advised that the petitioners were aware of the sign ordinance, however it was their opinion that a hardship existed in that they were being denied a privilege which was enjoyed by others in the same area; it was their contention that the granting of their request, limiting the sign height to 53 feet, would not establish a precedent for similar requests in ~-1 zones. The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to address the City Council. Mr. Don W. Fink, of General Maintenance Company, expressed the opinion that each application for sign variance should be judged individually on its own merits. He noted that today, the service station business is designed on a credit card basis, and the majority of motorists look for a sign indicating the oil company whose card they hold; that their Gulf Oil sign was the only one of four at the intersection which was not visible from a dis- tance. In response to Council questioning Mr. Thompson reported on the approximate height of existing signs at subject intersection, and noted that property at the southwest corner was in County territory. Mr. Fred Westover, representing Gulf Oil Company, addressed the Council calling attention to the original request for a higher sign than they were now askin9. He stated that they were willing to conform to the existing signs at the intersection, however at the present time they are in a non-competitive situation. The Mayor asked if anyone wished to address the Council in opposition, there being no response, declared the hearing closed. Council discussion was held, Councilmen Pebley and Schutte being of the opinion that the variance was a reasonable request, and they noted the right of the applicants to appeal the sign ordinance provisions. Councilman Chandler was of the opinion that competition was not a sufficient basis for allowing deviation from the sign ordinance; that the oil companies were aware of the sign ordinance and many of their representa- tiv:s assisted in the draftin9 thereof; and that adequate signin9 could be provided on the property under the orovisions of the ordinance. RESOLUTION: Councilman Chandler offered a resolution upholding the action taken by ~he City Planning Commission, denying Variance No. 177~. Refer zo Resolution Book.

MOTION CARRIED. 9429 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 10, 1966, 1:30 PUBLIC HEARING - GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS NOS. 73 AND 74: Public hearing was schedule~ this date to consider proposals to amend the Circulation Element of the Highway Rights-of-Way, of the General Plan to establish the width of the South side of La Palma Avenue, a primary street, to 53 feet between Anaheim Boulevard and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Right-of- Way, and between Anaheim Boulevard and Harbor Boulevard. The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolutions Nos, 1966 and 1993, Series 1965-66, recommended the approval of General Plan Amend- ments. Mr. Murdoch noted aerial maps posted on the east wall of the Council Chamber, pointin9 out the portions of La Palma Avenue in question, and advised that the north side of the street was previously designated as a primary highway; that the proposal was to provide for the ultimate six lane highway to accommodate the ultimate traffic. He called attention to the almost completely developed residential properties alon9 the south side of the street, and the few commercial uses, noting the following considerations which should be taken into account. a. The possibility of the necessary taking of additional property on the south side of La Palma Avenue, a maximum of 20-1/2 feet, which would result in removal of homes that have been located there for many years. b. The possibility of the necessary interim activity of parking prohibition during the acquisition of properties to carry out the widening project. The engineering studies were not yet in sufficient detail to allow analysis of the situation in order to answer questions from property owners. Mr. Murdoch thereupon recommended that the public hearing be continued to allow the gathering of topographical information as to actual locations of existing buildings on both sides of La Palma Avenue between Harbor Boulevard and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Right-of-Way, and how the proposed widenin9 of the street would affect these properties, and other pertinent information such as the projected date that the project would be started, and the length of the time which would be involved. Mayor Krein asked if those present in the Council Chamber understood the recommendation, and received an affirmative reply. Mr. Joe Liles asked when the La Palma Avenue connection between East Street and the west side of the Santa Fe Railroad tracks would be open to traffic. The City Engineer advised that the connecting length will be opened approximately May 2Z, 1966. Mr. Liles advised that the majority of the residents on La Palma Avenue would prefer to forfeit on-street parking, rather %hah give up their property for street widening. He noted the proposed traffic signal at Lemon Street and La Palma Avenue, being of %he opinion that even a six lane street could not carry the projected 1,$00 vehicles per hour with traffic signals at Anaheim Boulevard, Lemon Street and Harbor Boulevard, or three signals within approximately 300 feet. At the conclusion of the discussion, on motion by Councilman ?ebley, seconded by Councilman Schutte, public hearing on General Plan Amendments Nos. 73 and 74 was continued to June 28, 1966, 7:00 P.M. MOTION CARRIED. At the suggestion of the City Manager, it was determined that stakes be placed at various points on properties alon9 La Palma Avenue to illustrate the effect of the proposed street widening. ADJOURNMENT: Councilman Schutte moved to adjourn. Councilman Pebley seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (7:35 P.M.) Deputy City Clerk
