Mr. Bob 5undstrom, representing Williamson & Scnmzdt. 17782 Sky Park, Irvine,
~-eq~lest~d that Conditinns #4 and 13b be modified to allow the applicant to post

January 12, 1981
Mr. Earl Fresch, 7351 Rockmont, Westminster, representing the Yamaha Corporation,
stated they support the applicant's parcel map request, and they would like to be
present at meetings when future development requests are considered.
Mr. Greg Diaz, 6121 Barbados, Cypress, stated he lives near the subject property
and he encouraged the Council's support of the development.
Mr. Joe Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca Drive, Cypress, stated he agreed with the appli-
cant's request and he did not feel it was fair to require public improvements for
property outside their development site. He felt the residential development to
the south of the applicant's property was generating most of the traffic. He felt
the improvements should be financed by some other method.
Mr. Eobert Davis, 6441 Cantiles, Cypress, stated he hoped the Council will con-
sider whether the proposed development will enhance the adjacent homes or be a
liability, lie felt many of the homeowners may oppose the extension of Holder
Stree~ i~ecause ~t w~]l increase noise, especially from large trucks, and it may
prov~d~ an avenue by which the homes could be burglarized. He reported there
haw~ b~'e~ many recent burglaries in his area. Councilman Mullen advised him that
trucks would he prohibited on Holder Street as it is not a truck route.

the pr~posed user of the property is a large company which plans a multi-million
dollar development similar to the Yamaha development, and they would like to move
onto t[~e property in April of 1982. He requested prompt approval by the Council.
Couuc] ~man (',oronado expressed concern over a piecemeal approach to development of
the pr, perry and concern that the Council was considering the parcel map prior to
appt~v~g the Master Pla~ for the property.

Ms. Sheri Hippter, 6272 Barbados, Cypress, stated that homeowners in the Larwin,
College Park and patio home tracts will all be affected by the possible extension
of Holder Street and she felt they all should be notified when the Council con-
siders this issue.
The Council held discussion in regard to determining to which areas the public
hearing notice should be sent. Mayor Evans requested that the hearing notice
specifically advise that the issue of the Holder Street extension will be con-
sidered at the public hearing.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Mayor Evans that public hearing
notices regarding the public hearing on Specific Plan #81-1, which was continued

Mrs. Marie Wick, 6630 Capers Way, Cypress, expressed concern that she did not
receive a public hearing notice regarding the Jean Ellen Manufacturing development
on Katella in the Cypress Business Park. She stated she was assured several years
ago by the Planning Commission that property owners within 300 feet would be
notified before any construction occurs. The City Attorney advised that subdivision
approvals did not require public hearings prior to last year, and a court case
last year determined the need for a public hearing. The Mayor also pointed out
that the Jean Ellen development is a permitted use in that zone and does not
require conditional use permit approval. The staff reported that the conditions
applied to developments on the south side of Orangewood would mitigate most of the
adjacent homeowners' concerns and they offered to send Mrs. Wick a copy of the
conditions.
Mr. Bob Bano, 11250 Holder, Cypress, stated he reviewed the Cypress Land Company's
master plan and felt it was a good plan since it took into consideration the adjacent
homes and provided a buffer. He felt the property could be developed without
extending Holder Street.
RECESS: Mayor Evans called a recess at 9:05 p.m. The meeting was called back
to order at 9:18 p.m. with Councilman Lacayo absent.
CONSIDERATION OF CITY OF CYPRESS RENTAL HOUSING SURVEY: The City Manager pre-
sented a report dated January 8 indicating the Council received a copy of the
survey. Also transmitted were communications regarding the Lincoln Center Mobile-
home Park rent increases and rent controls. Councilman Rowan stated the high
rental rates did not apply only to mobilehome parks, and that he had requested
the survey for his information. The Council requested that staff attempt to
survey rental rates for single-family housing through a review of classified ads
in local newspapers, such as the Long Beach Press Telegram and the Register.
CONSIDERATION OF THE CYPRESS ISLANDS ANNEXATION STUDY: The City Manager presented
a report from the Administrative Coordinating Team dated December 30 which trans-
mitted the Cypress Islands Annexation Study.
Mr. Clement Lauberth, 8822 Belmont Street, Cypress~ spoke in favor of annexation.
He stated the area is a no-man~s land, the streets are inadequately swept amd there
is inadequate police protection. He stated he was unaware whether his neighbors
supported annexation.
Councilmembers Rowan and Coronado stated they favored initiating annexation for
Areas A and B. Councilman Mullen expressed concern over the impact of annexation
on the possible sale of Cypress/Arnold Park. The City Manager stated that the
City of La Palma had expressed interest in meeting with the Cypress City Council
to discuss boundaries in this area. The City Attorney indicated that the park
could be sold following its annexation to the City of Cypress. Mayor Evans re-
ported that the City of Buena Park was also interested in changing the boundaries
