The homeowners at this meeting expressed concern that the measures proposed would not be binding in the future and that, generally, the residents did not want to discuss the problem issues and the suggested solutions because they did not want the Council to possibly misinterpret acceptance of those solutions as a concession to allowing lights to be placed at Cypress High School.

Mr. DeCarlo then made a slide presentaticm showing the locaticm of practice areas and the turned peripheral lighting at Oak Knoll Park.

Councilman Kanel stated that he feels a compromise should be worked out between the residents and the leagues so that there is no animosity and that he favors the lighting as proposed. Councilman Partin stated that the leagues had indicated willingness to compromise in order to alleviate the problems being created for the neighborhood and that he supports the lighting proposal at this location but would like to hear comments from the residents. He then requested Chief Lowenberg to comment on the present circumstances at Cypress College with respect to traffic. The Chief stated that the department would be opposed to adding to the traffic and parking congestion at the College. The Mayor then asked for comments of those present regarding this matter. Mm.

Mr. Bill Davis, 9654 Americk Circle, Chairperson for the Cypress Recreation Commission, stated that seven meetings had been held regarding this matter and that the only residents who had attended regularly had been those living on Wellson Drive. It was determined by the Commission that Field No. 2 would not directly affect the people on Wellson Drive because the lights are low level and would be an adequate distance from homes; however, other existing problems were brought up. The recommendation of the Commission that lighting of Field No. 2 be approved was made subject to conditions which were not included in the staff report: (1) that lighting be redirected away from Area 7 to eliminate usage of this area at night and that the league be requested to monitor adherence to this absolutely; (2) that legal covenants be part of the lighting agreements precluding future redirecting of lights toward the homes on Wellson Drive.as long as Field No. 2 lights and the agreements exist. Mrs. Katheryn Holt, 5793 Laguna Way, stated that she had received a post card notifying residents of the Commission meeting in Suly, but that it indicated consideration of adding lights at the school only, with no mention of an additional soccer field and she inquired as to whether a negative impact study had been made.
