The City Manager presented a report from the Planning Director dated September 22 indicating the City Council initiated the annexation application on May 24, 1976 for 9.8 acres of land situated on the west side of Gay Street and at the northerly extension of Carob Street. The Local Agency Formation Commission approved the annexation on July 28, 1976. The City Council approved the pre-annexation zone change of the property to the RS-6000 and PS-lA Zones and also approved Tentative Tract Map #9434 for the division of the two southerly most parcels into 29 single-family lots. The subject property consists of seven parcels of land. Two of the property owners, representing over 50% of the assessed valuation of the area, requested the annexa- tion. Written and verbal protests have been received from three of the property owners. Mayor MacLain asked for those wishing to speak in support of the annexation. The following speakers spoke in favor and discussed reasons why they supported the annexation: Mr. Jeff.Owens, 8412 Carob, Cypress Mr. Ron Kieger, 8271 Carob, Cypress Mr. Joseph Todd, 8181 Gay, Cypress Mrs. Joan White, 8231 Gay, Cypress Mayor MacLain asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition. Mr. R. Steven Peters, 1615 Broadway, Santa Ana, California, attorney representing three property owners on Gay Street (Wilvers, Miller, Komaki) stated his clients represent in number the majority of property owners in the annexation area and they oppose annexation. He suggested an alternative that the property owners who oppose annexation be excluded from the application in order that they may maintain their present life- style which includes the keeping of horses. He offered their cooperation in supporting the annexation requested by the other two property owners. He felt this alternative best protected the property rights of everyone concerned. Mr. Peters stated his clients felt the disadvantages of annexation are: higher taxes without increased services and encroachment on their right to keep animals and enjoy their present lifestyle. Mrs. Karen Wilvers, 8131 Gay, Cypress, felt the annexation would increase their taxes without increasing ~ervices. She felt the owners would lack street improvements and sewer service and would continue to use the Sheriff's Department and volunteer fire department. She felt she should have the option to annex when she is ready to develop her property. She felt there would be stricter enforcement by the City of health codes and that protests from the future residents will pressure the City into eliminating the horse operations. City Council Minutes September 27, 1976 The staff indicated that if the property is annexed it would be policed by the City Police Department and included in the City's sewer system. The area would be detached from the Cypress County Water District and this special tax would be eliminated. They reported street improvements are not man- datory and if the property owners desire improvements they would be assessed like every other property owner in the City. Mr. Joe Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca Drive, Cypress, felt the proposed development might alleviate problems for residents on Carob Street but the new residents will complain about the flies and horses existing to the north. He felt the City should determine at this time the future development plans for the area to be annexed which is not proposed for develop- ment. Mr. Clarence Moxley, 8162 Gay, Cypress, felt the property owners have a right to keep their animals and enjoy this lifestyle and that the proposed development will infringe on this right. He felt 29 homes will overcrowd the area and that these resi- dents will object to the flies and horses. He suggested RS- 15000 zoning for the property on Gay Street. Mr. Jeff Owens, 8412 Carob, Cypress, stated the Council should consider the rights of property owners who must suffer from the lack of maintenance of the horse operations and fly problems. Councilman Hudson felt the annexation would be reasonable and would give the City more control and opportunity to deal with the maintenance and fly problems which the County has not abated. He felt the City has a responsibility to its residents to deal with the problems. It was moved by Councilman Hudson and seconded by Councilman Harvey to close the public hearing and adopt the following Resolution by title only, title as follows: RESOLUTION NO. 1774 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS FINDING AND DECLARING THAT A MAJORITY PROTEST HAS NOT BEEN MADE IN THE PROCEEDINGS KNOWN AS "ANNEXATION NO. 76-2." Councilman Harvey stated he agreed with Councilman Hudson's comments. He noted that the County is the City's health officer and he felt the County will continue the same enforcement as in the past. He felt Carob Street, being a dead-end street, lends itself to vandalism and the extension of Carob with the new development should curtail the problem. Councilman Harvey stated the horse operations will be allowed to remain as non- conforming uses. He felt it was significant that 98% of the property owners on Carob Street signed the petition supporting the annexation and stated these residents are also concerned about their lifestyle. Mayor MacLain stated she intended to request stricter enforcement of County health codes relating to the keeping of animals which the County has not enforced. She felt Cypress residents have rights to be protected from the nuisance problems caused by the keeping of animals.

Staff presented slides and drawings illustrating the three designs. The staff recommended Proposal #3, which was slightly modified by the Planning Commission, consisting of red cobblestone concrete surrounding planting areas of blue- grass sod and groupings of Aleppo Pines. Proposal #3 was recommended because the design would allow maintenance crews to be further removed from the traffic flow and the crews and equipment could be accommodated on the median, eliminating the need to block a traffic lane. Councilman Lacayo inquired about the possibility of subcontracting the project to City forces in order to cut costs and obtaining Federal funds for the project and discussion followed regarding this proposal. It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilwoman Sonju to approve Proposal #3 as recommended by staff for City Project ~7682-90 and authorize the Public Works Director to prepare working plans and specifications and obtain competitive bids for the project, and request a report for the next meeting regarding the possibility of subcontracting the project using City forces.
