Mr~ Nathan addressed the Council noting the location of his property,

On the ad'vise of the City Attorney that the motel is a nonconformin9

Use Permit or Rezonin9.

RECLASSIFICATION NO. 63-64-31 AND VARIANCE 1602 - CLARIFICATION: Communication
dated December 30~ 1963~ from Raymond Spehar requesting clarification of Con-
dition No. 1 of Ordinance Nco 19569 pertaining to landscaping and a 2-foot
wall requirement along the north and south lines of subject property, bI~iefly
described as located on the east side of Euclid $to~ north of Crescent Street~
was submitted.
Because of a possible conflict of interest, Councilman Chandler
withdrew from the discussion and action on this issue.
Mr~ Spehar addressed the Council advising that it was his opinion
all were in agreement that the block wall wasn"t necessary as it was dividing
a commercial use from an office use separated by a R~A zone which would very
likely be developed commercially°
Mr~ $pehar further adv~ed~ that the architect proposed a three
foot landscaping area along the south ~nd north boundaries of the property
which plans were approved by the City Planning Commission, and as he could
see no need for the landscaping, he had changed the plans and presented the
revised plans to the City Council, which he felt the Council had approved°
As a result, he was under the impression that 'the block wall and the three
foot landscaping requirements were both eliminated~ and in place of the
three foot landscapin9 he would plant shade trees that could be used to
better advantage in the parking areao Mr~ Spehar thereupon requested that
both of these conditions be eliminated.>
It was noted that the plans fo~- the high rise building adjacent
to subject property did not include a requirement for a wall or landscaping
on the south property lineo
Excerpts of the City Council Minutes of the meeting held October
1~ 1963~ pertaining to the public hearing on Reclassification No. 63-64-31
and Variance Nco 1602 were read by' the City Clerko
Council discussion was held and request to eliminate both re-
quirements denied°
To further clarify the intent of the City Council, it was moved
by Councilman Schutte that it be 'the findinq of the City Council that the
word "planting'" as referred to in Condi[tion Nco 1 of Reclassification No.
63-64-31 be determined to mean "tree planting at approximately 40-foot
intervals on the north and south property iines of subject property~ and
that the trees shall be protected with redwood headers and concrete bumper
blocks". Councilman Dutton seconded the motion° MOTION CARRIED.
RECLASSIFICATION NO. 63-64-44 AND VARIANCE NO. 1605 - RECONSIDERATION: Communi-
cation dated December 31, 1963, from J. J. Ausilio, Agent for the petitioners,

that a previous application for C~2 zoning on the property was also denied

would be benefitted by the development of 'the land and the elimination of /he
existing old residence~ which has been a target for vandalism. Mr, Ausilio

determination could be made as to what use would be most desirable for the

the adoption of Service Station Minimum Site Development ~tandards.
(4) City Planning Commission Resolution No. 995, Series 1963-64, rescinding

Mr. Kreidt reviewed the past history concerning suggested amendments
noted above, which had been referred to a Service Station Study Committe,
to prepare recommended "definitions", which were also considered by the
City Planning Commission~ as well as proposed amendments to the Anaheim
Municipal Code and the adoption of Service Station Minimum Site Develop-
ment Standards.
Each of the four resolutions noted above were reviewed~ and Mr.
Kreidt explained reasons certain language was recommended, in an effort
to provide a workable set of standards and definitions that will provide
for a level of operation permitting service station operators to economi-
cally operate, and still remove the objectionable activities included in
some service station operations~
Discussion was held by the City Council, City Manager, City
Attorney and Zonin9 Coordinator concerning the following;
(a) The 'tonnage arrived for allowable vehicles.
(b) Vested rights of existing service stations°
(c) The term ~'occasional", and the meaning thereof.
(d) The wall complimentary to service stations~
(e) Trailers~ and the size permitted to differentiate between
light equipment and heavy equipment.
(f) Location of stations at intersections of major primary or second-
ary highways in commercial zones, by right, under certain conditions.
(g) Location of service stations in the middle of the block, instead
of at an intersectiono
th) Occupied residential structure existing in a commercial zone, with-
in specified distance to prohibit service s{ation development.
ti) Corrections and amendments to City Planning Commission Resolution
No. 993, Series 1963-64~
Section 18~40.010 - be amended by 'the addition of the following:
"(31) Automobile Service Station, limited to those sites located
at the intersection of two highways~ as designated on the Circula-
tion Element of the General Plan, as Major, Primary or Secondary
Highways, except where the site is within seventy-five (75) feet
of any R-E, R-O, R-l, R-2~ or R-3, or any residential structure
in an R-A Zone~' (balance of Section to remain the same).
Correction changing Section 18~24.010(24) to Section 18'.48.010
(D-24), and Section 18.48.010(1-A) to Section 18.48.010(2-A).
(j) ~.mendment to City Planning Commission No. 993, Series 1963-64;

Exhibit "A" Amendment to;
5. There be added after~ ~"provided that no cabinet", the words
"or rack".
7. (Be omitted)o
Mayor Coons asked if Mro Clarke~ President of the $eruice Station
Operators Association~ wished to address the Council.
.
Mr. Ralph Clarke, 1608 West Orangewood, Anaheim, advised that the
"Definitions" were basically what the Ser'vlce Station Study Committee recom-
mended; that the only item that might add confusion was the item concerning
"trailers". Yurther~ it would be acceptable to the dealers as a group to
delete this from the definitions~ and include this activity in an equipment
rental ordinance.
Regarding the definitions, Mr. Clarke felt they must be written to
7415
City Hall: Anaheim~ California - cO.UN.CIL MINUTES - Jan.uarY 14~ 1964~ 1:30 P.M.
govern the progress of the City; that these as recommended were ones that
they, as a group, felt they could comply with~
Further discussion was held concerning trailers, as a light neighbor-
hood activity, wherein it was attempted to limit only rental of heavy equip-
ment from service station operations. Consideration was given to possible
limiting the number of trailers, or govern this activity by the number of
axles, or the distance between axles, load capacity, or describing the equip-
ment as "utility trailers".
The suggestion was made to omit trailers from the definition,
and assign a group to study types of rental equipment, including trailers
and equipment assigned by "Rent Master~, such as lawn renovators, etc., or
the possibility of controlling rental activities by conditional use permit.
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to address the Council.
Mr. Lee Watts, 1727 West Park Lane, Santa Aha, asked if ice vending
boxes would be an allowable activity at a service station site,
It was reported that the use questioned was allowable only in a
C-3 Zone~
Mrs~ Peters, 2645 Carnival Avenue, Anaheim, addressed the Council
favoring the adoption of the Ordinance amending the Anaheim Municipal Code.
In her opinion, the ordinance would encourage requirement of conditional use
permits for service stations. Mrs~ Peters requested public hearings before
the City Council on all conditional use permit applications for service
station use~ in order for the City Council to have jurisdiction of these
permits.
It was explained to Mrs. Peters that the City Council presently
has the control and jurisdiction over all actions taken by the City Planning
Commission; that every action taken by the City Planning Commission is re-
viewed by the City Council°
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to address the Council,
there being no response, declared the hearing closed.
Discussion was held by 'the City Council, it being determined that
the question of trailers~ arterial highways~ and Item Nco 7 of Exhibit No. "A"
pertaining to standards, appeared to be the only points of uncartainty. At
the conclusion thereof~ it was moved by Councilman Schutte, seconded by
Councilman Krein, that Council action be continued to January 21, 1964, 1:30
P.M., to establish some definition of trailers by size that would be
allowable° MOTION CARRIED.
RECESS: Councilman Dutton moved for a 15 minute recess~ Councilman Chandler
seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (9:05 P.M.)
AFTER RECESS: Mayor Coons called the meeting to order, all the members of the
City Council being present°
P.~O~OSAL - DART CORPORATION:_ Mayor Coons announced that a proposal was submitted
by DART Cora°ration December 24, 1963, to sponsor a monorail system to be ,con-
structed between Dish,viand and Knott~ B~rry Farm, th~ ~pon~or~hip wouI~
involve a request by the City of Anaheim to the Federal Government to provide
funds for engineering research and development of the project as proposed.
In addition the City would be a party to any rights-of-waY franchises or
Eminent Domain proceedings that might be involved in said rights-of-way.
Consideration of said proposal was deferred to this date for an
informal public hearing, and DART Corp. was requested to hold a press conference
to apprise all of the news media of the details of the proposal so that publi~
cation could be made, and the people properly informed; in addition a request
was made by the City Council that a financial statement of the firm be filed,
and according to his information neither the press conference was held, nor
the financial statement filed.
7416
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 14~. 1964.~ 1:~0 P.M.
The Mayor asked Mr. Strizek if he wished to address the Council.
Mr. Strizek, President of DART Corporation, advised that
answers to the eight questions raised at the December 24th meeting were
sent to the press and Ci±y Council.
He stated that originally they planned the. project with private
funds~ then it came to their attention that the Federal Government had
appropriated monies for experimentation in Rapid Transit Systems; of the
85 million dollars appropriated approximately 28 million still remain in
the fund. He noted that taxpayers have already paid into this fund.
Mr. $trizek then asked Mr. Werner, an Associate, to read their
reply to the questions raised°
Mr. Oscar Werner identified himself as a stockholder in the
corporation~and further advised that at one time he had been an officer
of the firm temporarily.
Statement was submitted in written form, and read by Mr. Werner
and in general, briefly was as follows:
Regarding the obligation of the City for any operation or
maintenance of the system~ during the test period or subsequently there-
to: The operation would be under the engineering control of DART and
its Associate~ during the test period, and the corporation would be
financially responsible for its subsequent operation. In their opinion
it was not necessar~ a't this time, to deal with the question of finan-
cial ability to operate the system~ after completion these facts and
figures would be submit'ted to the City of Anaheim and the underwriters
prior to the construction of the project°
Regarding the requirement of relocation of utilities: Until
a feasibility study is made~ no one can state exactly which utility may
require relocation~
Regarding the cost of relocation of utilities or transmission
lines: This would be considered as a part of 'the expense of construc-
tion and operation of the system.
Regarding possible cancellation or termination of the project,
or the possibility of bankruptcy of the corporation: No obligation to
the taxpayer will be affected~ legal consideration between the City of
Anaheim, DART qorporation and the Underwriters, can be manifested upon
completion of a Feasibility $'tudy~ The grant and financial responsibi-
lity would not affect the city budget nor be a part of the regular
operational matters of the City of Anaheimo
Regarding the right of Eminent Domain, and the use of that
power by the City for a project of this type: In their opinion the
City would judiciously use the right of Eminent Domain should it be-
come necessary°
Regarding the corporation's financial ability: Sponsorship
by the City of Anaheim and the acceptance of the qrant~ would be on
a ba~i~ w~ere{.n ~e C{ty Counc{1 can determine both a financial and
engineering ability and resources of the company at the time necessary
monies are provided by the underwriters.
Regarding the benefits that may accrue to the people of
Anaheim: In their opinion they would be in the nature of more volume
of business~ dollar mise and publicity wise~ and be a significant
contribution in the Rapid Transit field.
Regarding concurrence of Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm:
DART Corporation felt that both of these industries would become a
part of the operation; however~ it was further determined that con-
currence of these two major industries would have to be after deform%-
7417
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 14~ 1964~ 1:30 P.M.
nation is made by the City of Anaheimo
Regarding Rapid Transit problem being a local problem: Many
reams of Dublication, congressional reports and hearings~ would be necessary
to dissuade anyone from thinking the rapid transit problem is purely a
local problem~
Regarding the Federal Government intervention: None of the trans-
portation media of this country would have attained the magnitude of gigan-
tic industries~ had it not been for Federal intervention.
Regarding 'the feasibility of the project: From the testing of the
transportation system wii1 come a full operationaI program, which wiI1 be
of benefit to the peopie of the United $tates~
Regarding the evaluation of a test between two recreational centers:
In their opinion the answer can best be determined by the acceptance of the
Home Finance Agency~ if and when the grant is approved°
Councilman Krein stated that very little is known about the Dart
Corporation~ no list has been furnished of the officers~ directors~ or
names of some of the stockholders, their capitalization, or the stock that
has been issued, and was of the opinion the City Council should be better
informed before entering into an agreement~
Mr. Strizek advised that they took over the Dart Corporation, on
the 24th of December~ and they have not reviwed the books; however, they
would be happy to furnish this information° He further advised that all
they were requesting was the City's cooperation, that with the City's
approval the firms of Boeing, and Food Machinery will join, and a survey
can be made.
~ayor Coons felt before the City of Anaheim made such a request
to the Home Finance Agency~ some indication should be received from the
Federal Government as to whether or not this was considered a feasible and
logic project°
Mr. Strizek reported that the Federal Government knows about the
Dart Corporation~ and the Duorail System as referred to in the Congressional
Record.
Mr° Murdoch advised that the Congressional Record referred to was
general in nature and did not referred to this location.
Discussion was held, it being noted that the proposed project
would necessitate formation as a public utility, requiring an application
to the Public Utilities Commission, that franchises within the City would
be in the control of the local agency~
Councilman Chandler stated in his opinion Urban Rapid Transit
was a local problem and not a direc't obligation of the Federal Government,
that the development of the airlines was an obligation of the Federal
Government for national defense, Councilman Chandler further stated it
was his opinion thai the only possible use of a duorail transit between
the two points mentioned, would be for an amusement ride; he noted it was
not brought through any populated area and {elf that this type of experi-
ment could not determine whether or not the general public would accept
this type transportation as a permanent rapid transit system.
Councilman Dutton stated he was opposed to the project outlined
and referred to the act under the Housing Home Finance Agency~ noting the
amount of money allocated for rapid transit for research and development
and for feasibility studies; in his opinion this could not prove economi-
cally feasible unless perhaps it was constructed between Anaheim and Los
Angeles. Councilman button further felt that the government should only
do those things that the people cannot do for themselves, and if the
system was desirable~ private enterprise would find a way to accomplish
the project, that in eastern states, where there are smaller areas of
7~ 18
City Hq. ll~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January ~4~ 1964~ 1:30 P.M.
high density population, the project may be acceptable~ but here in the
west people are still able to travel by means of private automobiles.
Regarding Federal interven'tion, Councilman Dutton referred to
the T.V.A. Project which started because of a naviqation and flood problem,
and started with the construction of one dam in the amount of
$150,000,000.00. He noted that the expenditure is now two billion dollars
and there have been constructed thirty dams, which now provide for the
generation of electricity that has been indirectly subsidized by the~Government.
Councilman $chutte advised that he agreed with Councilman Krein
that more information on the corporation, its officers and finances should
be made available prior to any negotiations between the City and the
company.
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to address the Council.
Mr. Jay R. McEntee~ 218 Broadview Street, addressed the Council
urging the City"s rejection of the proposal submitted by the Dart Corpora-
tion~ stating his reasons therefor as contained in a prepared statement
(Copy on file).
Mr. McEntee stated he noted a thread throughout the text pre-
sented by Mr. Werner, that progress is made as result of federal money
and federal grants, and requires this type of funding to achieve pro-
gress in the rapid transit problem. Mr. McEntee advised that he did not
subscribe to this view and felt there were many others who did not.
He advised that he whole-hear'tedly endorsed the attitude of
the Dart Corporation of intending to construct the proposed project with
their own funds~ and as he understood 'the matter they would be required
to applv for a certificate of convenience and necessity to the Public
Utilities Commission of the State of California, and necessary franchises
would be required from the City of Anaheim. Even under free enterprise,
he urged considerable ~aution and scrutiny on the part of the City on
9rantin9 any franchise~
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to address the Council,
there being no response, declared the hearing closed.
Councilman Schutte asked the City Attorney what right Dart
Corporation would have as a public carrier under the Public Utilities
Commission.
Mr. Geisler explained that as a public utility, they would
have the right and power of Eminent Domain for necessary right-of-way
however, it would be inaonceivabie to construct this system without
necessary license or franchises from the City to cross public rights-
of-way.
Councilman Krein felt 'that even if the project was developed
privately, the Dart Corporation would have to submit the information
he first requested°
The following letters of protest or caution were received from:
R. E. Whittier~ M. D.
J. M. and Betty-Jean Hay
3ohn H. Adrian~ M. D.
Joan Dalton
At the conclusion of the discussion, Councilman Coons moved'the
City Council reject the request of Dart Corporation for the City of
Anaheim to request federal grants to aid in the engineering and de-
velopment of the Duorail System as requested. Councilman Krein second-
ed the motion.
