~UBLIC HEARING ~ VARIANCE NO. 7~0: Submitted by Lee Symonds, requesting permission
to erect a service station on p~operty described as the most westerly portion of the
triangle formed by Center Street, Anaheim=Olive Road and Placentia Avenue"
..-,
I
The City Planning Com~ission, pursuant to their Resolution Noo 5, Series
1957=58, granted said Variance, subject to engineering requirements"
Appeal from action taken by the City Planning Commission was filed by
eleven residents in the area and public hearing ordered held~
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to address the Council~
Mrso Ann Ho Armeson, 218 Beech Street, addressed the Council and presented
a petition of opposition containing 25 signatures~
Mro Symonds, Applicant, addressed the Council and advised that the Council
had previously approved this location for a service station, approximately two
years ago, under C=l zoning and since that time, service stations require C-3 zoning,
and for that reason the Variance is being requestedo He further advised that he
has leased the entire parcel of property which includes the pointo
Mrso Hemmerling, 114 North Coffman Avenue, addressed the Council in
opposition to the Variance and called attention to the increased hazard to the
school children who assemble at the corner of Coffman Avenue and Center Street
for the school bus and the increase of traffic hazards as this corner is located
where Center Street and Anaheim-Olive Road merge, and, in addition to that, the
Foster Freeze Business did not have adequate parking facilities and this area
was needed for that purposeu
Mro Symonds advised that there would be approximately 40 or 50 feet
between the east line of the Foster Freeze property that would be paved; further,
that the pumps will be located approximately 125 feet from the point of the
property~
Mro Shepard, 1811 East Center Street, owner of two lots on Center Street,
addressed the Council in opposition, and stated that the location of the already
established gasoline distributors have devalued his property because of the
fumes from the gasolineo
Others addressing the Council in opposition were: Mr. Armeson, 218
Beech Street and Mrso Robby, 203 Beech Streeto
Attention was called to an error in the legal description of the property
being, "an further described as the most easterly portion of the triangle formed
by Center Street, Anaheim=Olive Road, and Placentia Avenue", the true location
of the property being, "the most westerly portion of the triangle".
Mayor Pearson asked those present what use they felt this property could
be put to"
si te &
A lady in the audience suggested developing the property into a park
Councilman Coons stated that he could fully appreciate the position of
the people that live in this area, however, this particular property is of such a
size and shape as not to be conducive to most commercial buildings, further, the
property was too valuable for landscaping for park purposes and with reference to
the number of already established stations in the area, it was not for him to
speculate on the success of the station~ That due to the size and shape of the
property it did not have many uses; that this particular use would leave the area
wide open, so that traffic could be perfectly visibleo

City Hall, Anaheim, California, August 20, 1957 - 7:00 PoMo
When asked if this would be an all night station, a gentlemen re-
presenting Richfield Oil Company advised that their stations usually operate
from 7:00 AoMo to 10:00 PoMo, however, in the summer months, they might stay
open latero In no event would it be later than 12:00 oQclock midnighto
closed
There being no further discussion~ the Mayor declared the hearing
Councilman Coons moved that the Variance be referred to the City
Attorney for the checking for the legal description to determine if the description
as published was sufficient, and in view of the error in the description, if
action taken by the City Cou~il would be a valid actiono Councilman Wisser
seconded the motionc MOTION CARRIED. (10 be aqain considered bv the City

PUBLIC HEARING = VbRI_~_NO~81: Submi tted by Triple fVA" Mortgage Company,
requesting permission to erect a 12 story hotel with 2,000 rooms, the first two
stories being shops, etc0' on property located approximately 660 feet north of
Katella Avenue on the east side of West StreetQ
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to their Resolution NOQ 6,
Series 1957==58, granted said Variance for a hotel in accordance with the plans as
presented in the brochure, which becomes a part of the applicationo
Review of action taken by the City Planning Commission was ordered
by the City Councilo
Discussion was held regarding a proposed motion, which motion was
submitted and read in ful1@
Mr@ Robert Po Lawton, Attorney for the Triple "A" Mortgage Company,
stated that the proposed motion was perfectly satisfactory to theme
There being no further discussion, Councilman Coons offered the
motion as previously read, being as follows:
WHEREAS, the applicant (Variance Noo 781), Triple "A" Mortgage Company,
has applied for a variance requesting permission to erect a 12<=story h'otel wi th
2,000 rooms, and has submitted tentative plans and sketches in connection with
such construction; and
WHEREAS, the ~lanning Commission of the City of Anaheim did approve
such variance with certain conditions imposed, as set forth in Resolution No. 6,-
Series 1957-58, of the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim; and
WHEREAS, a hearing by the City Council of the City of Anaheim was
scheduled and duly advertised by reason of a protest filed to the action of the
Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim; and
WHEREAS, public hearings were duly held by the City Council of the City
of Anaheim and the matter was fully considered;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT MOVED that the City Council of the City of Anaheim
does find and determine that the facts found and determined by the Planning
Commission of the City of Anaheim are correct, and that the construction and
operation of a 12-story hotel at Katella Avenue and West Street, as set out in
the variance request, would not be detrimental to the area, and that such operation
would be a use similar to the use of other property in the area; but that the
City Council does further find that the granting of the variance for the con-
struction and operation of the hotel as requested, due to its size and subsequent
impact on the area and community at large, should not be granted unless the
parties requesting such variance show adequate financial backing to assure the
City Council that such project will be completed according to tentative plans and
specifications, and also show the Ci.ty Council of adequate backing by a recognized
hotel management, so that the City Council may be assured that such project will
be operated in a manner which will not be detrimental to the public welfare and
the area where such project is contemplatedm
THEREFORE, IT IS FURTHER MOVED that the hearing on Variance No. 78~

Mortgage Company to produce commitments showing adequate financial responsibility
for the construction of the proposed hotel, and commitments for lease or ownership
of the hotel by some recognized and established hotel management association, and

CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING =ESTAB~ISHMENT OF SET-BACKS: Public hearing was continued
from the August 13, 1957 meetingi' to consider evidence heard at said rneeting, re-
garding the establishment of set~back requirements on the north side of West La Palma
Avenue, westerly from North Euclid Avenueo
Mro Gorden Stein, Planning Technicia~ reported on the following re-
commendations; 10 To permit C~l zoning and require a 63 foot set-back and require
a traffic alley across the rear of the propert~ the approximate cost of the
traffic alley would be $17J50 per foot, or aporoximately $875000 for a 50 foot 10tG
This cost would include the removal of the water alley itself, grading of the property
and the installation of an adequate pipelineo
2~ To permit C~l zoning, do not require a traffic alley, however,
insist upon adequate rear set-back for the placement of trash and a five foot access
for truck deliveries, require a 60 foot set=back for parking~ This would require
all variances be subject to public works requirements regarding trasho
30 Zoning the area to a more restrictive zone, such as R-A, with
recommendation that the Council consider other variances or grant other variances
which would not have an excessive amount of trash or would require an excessive
amount of deliverieso The uses already established in this area are of this
character
40 A 60 foot front set-back and a 10 foot rear set-back~ It was
reported that this would be less than the Code requirement, that is, one-half of
the property to be used for parking in C=l zoneso
The location of the water alley to the property line's was determined.
Mro Holyoke, City Engineer, advised that he felt that the requirement
of an alley at this particular location was economically unsound, there being only
131G92 feet of lot area after street dedication, and further, no portion of the
alley could be considered for parking area, and suggested that there be a minimum
requirement of 50 foot set=back, with front parking, which, at str'aight parking
or ninety degree angle parking, would allow for 14 carse
MrG Beatty advised that they figured on a 48 foot set=back and perferred
the 55 foot set=back to the 63 footo Further, that they have an outlet to the
back regardless of whether an alley goes in there~
Mr. Dysinger, owner of lot next to the Anaheim Swimming School, stated
that to impose a set=back requir~ment on his property would render it uselesss
Mrs Dysinger was advised that the property under consideration was
from the Swimming School, east only, and that nothing, at this time, was being
considered west of the swimming pool areao That before any development of
his property takes place, he will be required to have his property separately
considered as it was the only lot posing an individual probleffio
Councilman Schutte moved that the set=back considerations be given at
this time to Lots 4 to 21, inclusive, only~ Councilman Fry seconded the motion;
MOTION CARRIED.
MrG Vernon Hylton, addressed the Council on behalf of his mother, th~
owner of lots 13, 14 and one~half of lot 15, and favored the uniform set-back as
established by MrG Spehars0 He did not approve, however, of the alley requireme~
because of the expenseo
Further discussion was held regarding a comm~nity parking system and

its advantages to all, that would be derived from such a ventureo
Mrso Cox, owner of the residential lot directly across from Mr.
SpeharDs property, addressed the Council, favoring the uniform set-back
which, in her opinion, would add to the value of the property and the improve-
ment of the appearancea
Assistant Administrative Officer, Albert Hair, reminded that some
area should be reserved at the rear of the buildings for the daily accumulation
of trashc
Councilman Coons felt that for the general appearance of the buildings,
it would be well to allow some tolerance so that all the buildings will not be
constructed in a single line)
No one appeared to object to the possible joint use of the parking
in front of the proposed buildings, and Mre Geisler, Assistant City Attorney,
advised that according to the Anaheim Municipal COde, no fence could be con-
structed between commercial and parking areas, however, the joint use should
be done by deed restriction5~
No one present indicated objections to a five foot deed restriction
for sidewalk purposes, thereby, establis~ing a definite set-back and also a
definite sidewalk requirement0
When the question was asked if the 18 foot parkway could be used for
parking, the City Engineer advised against the use of this parkway for such, as it
will be required for future street wideningo
cl.osed
There being no further discussion, the Mayor declared the hearing
RESOLUTION NOe 4052: Councilman Schutte offered Resolution Noo 4052 establishing
a minimum set=back of 60 feet and a maximum set-back of 66 feet; that the
set=back at 55 feet be devoted for parking only and 5 feet from the parking
area back to 60 feet be devoted to a walkway and that the building be set to
allow a back yard of 10 feet, and moved for its passage and adoptionG

City Hall, Anaheim, Catifornia, August 20, 1957 - 7:00 PoMo
Mrc Albert Hair advised that in considering this entire area, one of the
points that the City Planning Commission wanted to make was, because of the lack
of an alley, that favorable consideration be given to only those types of businesses
that do not generate a lot of trash~ waste, or traffice

REVIEW NO.9: Submitted by Dyke Water Company~ requesting permission to drill and
operate a water well near the southwest corner of Harbor Boulevard and Orangewoode
The City Planning CommiSSion, pursuant to their Resolution No. 34,
Series 1957~.,58, denled said special use permit to drill a well as requested under
Review No 90
Communication dated August 15, 1957 from Dyke Water Company was submitted
and read, stati.ng that if a Special Use Permit was granted to the Dyke Water Company
that they will not use at any time the water pumped from the subject well site
within the City limits of the City of Anaheim for any new connections.
Communication from Jo E, GOSline, dated August 16, 1957, was submitted
and read, requesting that the City Council not grant the Dyke Water Company the
land use permit which they seek as the location of the proposed well would place
them in a difficult position insofar as the availability of water is concerned
and would also drastically reduce the value of their water well propertyo
Discussion was held and when questioned regarding the effect the new
well at this location would have on the existing well, George Fo Oelkers, Public
Utilities Director advised that the City of Anaheim had a similar situation and
moved well over 200 feet from an existing well to avoid affecting said welle That
the proposed location of the Dyke Water Company well is within 60 feet of the
existing well, therefore, the situation is very differento
My KarCher, from the Dyke Water Company, advised that the existing well
was comparatively shallow, being around 225 feet or 235 feet deep and that they
usually go down 400 feet to 500 or 600 feet and would very likely perforate 350
feet to 400 feet down~ He asked if that would affect the existing wello

City Hall, Anaheim. California. AUGust 20. 1957 = 7:00 PoMo
Mr. Oelkers advised that he did not know the status of the well in
that particular areae
Mro Karcher further advised that if they would cut off the water
from the existing wel , they would not be interested in drilling there, and
referred to another location where they drilled near another well and did not
affect it He ~tatAd that this was the site they owned and the reason the
request was made for this ocation, and that they were in great need of additional
water to pick up their wat~r pressure in the Garden Grove areao
Mr Ly e Mitchell, orange grower and part owner of the existing well,
addressed the Counc and stated they had been there for 35 or 40 years and
whether their well was used or not the power was on and the well is operativeo
He further advised that as of March 10, 1956, they were no longer the sole
owners of the we ~~ now owning only lO/12th interests, and that the well is in
need of repairs and the other interests do not want to share in the expense of
the repair work, so at the present time, they are buying water from another
source, which they know will be for a limited time and that work has begun
on their we 1 to place it back in good operative useo He further advised that
~he dri ling of his new at this location, so near to theirs, was neither fair
or }ust and that the Dyke Water Company knew of the existing well when they
acquired the property
Mr John Wright, President of the Anaheim Farm Bureau, addressed the
Council and asked Mra Karcher what percentage of the Metropolitan Water District
water was used by the Dyke Water Company at this time~
Mr8 Karcher answered that there was noneo
Mrj Wright further advised that we were now dumping more water into
the Santa Ana River for the protection of the underground supply, and at the
original hearing it was asked what the Dyke Water Company did to protect the
underground water rights for the farmers in this areao At this time, they
promised to serve Metropoli.tan Water District into their lines since it was
possible for them to obtajn Metropolitan Water District watero He further
advised that everyone was aware of the dropping water levels and that every well
drLlled today is dr.;11ed at the cost of nearing the day for the abandonment of
their wells He asked why the Dyke Water Company did not secure the Metropolitan
Water Di5~rict and pu~ in a booster to get greater pressureo
Mr Karcher stated that an application was made to the Metropolitan
Water District and because the contract offered did not meet the approval of
their company, it was refused, however, they were in the process of again
applying, and as soon as they get the application through they will be using
Metropolitan water Further, that they were paying their share of the cost
of water for the underground basin, and would soon have an additional two,
5=mi l1].on gal on water reservoirs"
Mr Wright stated that they were opposed to the drilling of this,
or any other well
Mr Karcher stated that he doubted if a 600, 700 or 800 foot well
would effect the well on the Mitchell propertyo
Counci lman Schutte advised of a similar condition on his own property
where the shal.low well went dry after they drilled and pumped from the new
well which was of a depth of between 500 feet to 600 feeto
MYa Wright felt that every effort should be made by the Dyke Water
Company to connect with the Metropolitan Water District immediatelYe
Councilmen Coons stated that because of the many factors in this
particular applicati.on, such as the prior rights to the water, the fact that
the water to be pumped from this well is to be used outside of the City of
Anaheim~ and the nece:ssary Gonservatj on of water, that review of action taken
