William Davis, 9654 Amberwich, President of Friends of Cypress Recreation and Park
District, invited the Council members to the rededication of the Oak Knoll Park Snack Bar,
Saturday, March 16, 11:30, following Cypress Little League Opening Day.
Mr. Baltazar Perez, 9292 Lime Circle, President of Cypress Pony League, invited the Council
members to the Pony League's opening day, March 23, 1985, 10:00, indicating that plans
include that the first ball of the season be thrown by the Mayor.
STAFF REPORTS:
Mr. Essex advised the Council that the Ritz Grill will hold its grand opening on Thursday,
March 14, 1985, and that he has issued a temporary live entertainment permit for a band.
Mr. Essex also requested a Closed Session for Personnel issues at the end of the meeting.
CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: GENERAL PLAN
AMENDMENT NO. 85-1 AND ZONE CHANGE NO. 85-1, COMMERCIAL TO MULTIPLE-
FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, ADJACENT SOUTH OF 5900 BALL ROAD: Mayor Kanel opened the
Public Hearing. The Planning Director presented a staff report dated February 20 and March
4, 1985. At the request of the applicant, the City Council continued this item from the
meeting of February 25. The application represents a request to change the General Plan
designation from retail and general commercial to high density residential with a
corresponding zone change from CG Commercial General to RM-20 Residential Multiple-
Family, for property located on the south side of Ball Road approximately 550 feet west of
Valley View Street behind 5900 Ball Road. Subsequent to the February 25 meeting, staff met
with the applicant to discuss the project. Staff upheld their previous recommendation of
denial of General Plan Amendment No. 85-1 and Zone Change No. 85-1.
Mr. Rudy Serar, of Serar & Associates, architect for the project, 314 North First Avenue,
Arcadia, spoke in support of the proposal and indicated that the density has been lessened
from 24 to 20 apartment units to meet parking and landscape requirements, the sewer
easement relocated, and the driveway widened. Mr. Serar added that the hours of the bank
traffic would not coincide with the traffic generated from the apartments, and that the noise
from the loading docks of the Albertson's and Mervyn's would be minimal.
Mayor Kanel asked for testimony in opposition to this proposal.
Mr. Sid Williams, 5821 Roxbury Court, spoke in opposition to the project stating that the
noise in the area is a problem and the congestion from traffic extreme.
Mr. Richard Rotar, 10022 Myra Avenue, indicated that the development would infringe upon
his privacy, explaining that his backyard would be in view from the units.
Mr. Ray Holloway, 5831 Roxbury Court, related his opinion that the project would have a
great impact on the Ball Road access, indicating his lack of support for rezoning of the
parcel.

City Council Minutes
March 11, 1985
Mr. Joe Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca Drive, explained that commercial property should be
developed for a stable tax base, adding that apartments are fire hazards as well.
Mr. Jim Michael, 10032 Myra Avenue, suggested office buildings or a park, indicating that
the proposal would not benefit the City, and adding that the noise in the late night hours
from the Albertson's loading docks does exist.
Discussion continued with Mayor Kanel expressing concern over the hours that the
Albertson's trucks utilize the loading docks.
Councilman Coronado stated that to the best of his recollection the trucks could park after
dark but could work only in daylight hours.
Mayor Kanel indicated that the truck traffic operation would be investigated.
Mr. Joe Doughty, 5841 Roxbury Court, indicated that the trucks are noisy at all hours of the
night, the traffic always congested, and that crime would increase due to the long alley.
Mr. Larry Kingsley, 5851 Roxbury Court, suggested the development of a park as the best use
for this parcel and indicated his lack of support for the proposal.
Mr. Al Vincent, 5850 Roxbury Court also expressed his opposition to the project.
Mr. Richard Rotare spoke once again to clarify that the residents in the area do not want to
cause Albertson's Market any trouble, that the noise from the market is something that all of
the residents have learned to live with, indicating that Albertson's has worked with the
community and has curtailed its truck traffic at least 80%.
Wendy Strong, 5822 Myra Avenue, stated that the traffic in the area is already extremely
congested, and this project would make it unbearable. Mrs. Strong reported that the Boys'
Club is presently seeking land to develop a Boys' Club gymnasium and suggested
the gym as an alternative use for the property.
Mr. Serar, applicant, again spoke in support of the proposal, adding that this use would have
the least impact on the area.
Councilman Lacayo stated that this landlocked parcel has noise and traffic problems from
adjacent commercial uses and indicated his lack of support, adding that the Council has a
responsibility to its citizens to provide a safe and healthy environment.
Councilman Coronado indicated that it is a problem lot and whatever use it provides would
create further traffic and noise problems, adding that this property is not appropriate for
housing.
Councilman Mullen indicated his support for staff's recommendation, adding that the traffic
capacity would not support the density of this proposal. Councilman Mullen further stated
his surprise that the applicant has pursued this request after review with staff.
Councilman Partin stated that the Council should adhere to the original plan for the area,
indicating that the zoning is appropriate, and adding that the land owner created the
situation by splitting the parcels.
Mayor Kanel indicated that a zone change is inappropriate, suggesting that possibly an
accounting business or similar type of business be proposed for the parcel. The Mayor added
that the indication by Mr. Serar of the possible development of a multi-story building seems
inappropriate as well.
It was moved by Councilman Partin and seconded by Councilman Mullen to close the public
hearing and adopt the Resolution by title only, title as follows, denying General Plan
Amendment No. 85-1.
RESOLUTION NO. 2885

CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 85-4,
COMMERCIAL SHOPPING CENTER AND FUTURE BUILDING SITES, SOUTHWEST
CORNER OF KATELLA A VENUE AND KNOTT STREET: Mayor Kanel opened the public
hearing. Mr. Essex reported that the applicant, Howard F. Thompson & Associates, Inc.,
16520 Aston Street, Irvine, has requested a continuance to the meeting of March 25, 1985 for
consideration of Conditional Use Permit No. 85-4, construction of a retail shopping center at
the southwest corner of Katella Avenue and Knott Street, to further review plans for the
proposal of two restaurants.
Mayor Kanel, hearing no objections, continued consideration of Conditional Use Permit 85-4
to the meeting of March 25, 1985.
CONSIDERATION OF AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR PROFESSIONAL ELECTRICAL
ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR DESIGNING AND PREPARING BID DOCUMENTS FOR
INSTALLING AN EMERGENCY GENERATOR FOR PUMPING STATION NO.1 ON MYRA
AVENUE: A staff report dated February 28, 1985, was submitted outlining the four bids
received for the services of a professional electrical engineer to design and prepare the bid
documents for an emergency generator at Pump Station No.1, Myra Avenue. After review
by staff, it was found that the proposal of William R. Ishii and Associates, Inc., appeared to
be the most cost-effective to the City. Therefore, staff recommended award of contract to
William R. Ishii and Associates, Inc.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilman Mullen to award the
contract for professional electrical engineering services for the design, bid document
preparation and inspection for the installation of an emergency generator set at Myra Pump
Station No.1, to William R. Ishii and Associates, Inc., 1165 East San Antonio Drive, Long
Beach, in the amount of $1,500. The motion unanimously carried by the following roll call

CONSIDERATION OF AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR REBUILDING AIR-CONDITIONING
COMPRESSORS IN CITY HALL OFFICES: A staff report was presented dated March 5,
1985, outlining the three bids received for the rebuilding of the air-conditioning compressors
in the east and west wings of City Hall, adding that because these units are an integral part
of the total air-conditioning system, knowledge of how they are rebuilt is very important.
Scott Refrigertion is the prime contractor for all maintenance and repair, therefore staff
considered that factor sufficient justification to expend over the low bid.
It was moved by Councilman Coronado and seconded by Councilman Lacayo to award the
contract for rebuilding the three compressors in City Hall to Scott Refrigeration, 1330 West
Collins Avenue, Orange, in the amount of $8,995, which was determined to be the lowest
responsible bid received. The motion unanimously carried by the following roll call vote:

CONSIDERA TION OF VEHICLE REPLACEMENT: A staff report was presented dated March
4, 1985, requesting approval for the replacement of the Recreation and Park District pool car
#810, a 1977 Nova, that was used extensively for short mileage trips totalling 119,781
miles. The car was purchased new in October of 1976 and has a number of obvious
problems. Staff reviewed several vehicles and determined that Hertz Corporation, Rent-A-
Car Division, offered the greatest cost savings for a passenger vehicle meeting the standards
for replacement.

CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING
SALARIES AND WORKING CONDITIONS FOR CITY EMPLOYEES REPRESENTED BY THE
CYPRESS PUBLIC SAFETY EMPLOYEES' ASSOCIATION: Mr. Essex requested a
continuance of this item since the final negotiations have not been settled. Mayor Kanel,
hearing no objections, ordered it continued to the meeting of March 25, 1985.
CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES TO LANDSCAPED BERM
ADJACENT TO STANTON STORM CHANNEL: Mr. Essex presented staff reports dated
February 1 and March 5, 1985 which outline the three alternatives available to complete the
landscaped earth berm buffering the industrial and residential areas in Districts 41 and 42
adjacent to the Stanton Storm Channel. The following three alternatives were discussed at
the meeting of February 11, 1985: 1) Complete the berm as originally planned; 2) Berm/Wall
concept; and 3) Full wall concept. At the request of Mayor Kanel, the City Council
continued this item to this date to allow the members ample time to inspect the site. Mr.
Essex reported that one communication had been received from Mitsubishi Motor Sales in
support of their existing berm.
Councilman Coronado reported that he had walked the area a few years ago and all of the
residents with whom he spoke indicated support for some type of barrier.
Councilman Partin stressed his lack of support of the berm concept, adding that if standing
on the berm, a view is provided of the backyards and homes to the south, thereby making it
an ideal area for crime. Councilman Partin suggested leaving the decision open for
negotiation between present and future developers, and concluded by adding that from the
homeowners view the berm looks terrible.
Councilman Lacayo suggested that before a decision is made, a special meeting be held to
involve the current commercial and residential property owners to gather input regarding the
berm and attempt to satisfy all parties.
Mayor Kanel and Councilman Coronado indicated their agreement to a workshop to attempt
to resolve the problems now existing.
Mr. Boyd Hexem, 6171 Barbados Avenue, reported that years ago the Council had indicated
that when development occurred, the developers would move the jogging and bicycle trail
located to the south of the channel to the north of the channel, thereby reducing the theft
and vandelism presently occurring to the homeowners backing the trail.
Councilman Mullen stated that a community meeting is a good idea and indicated that he is
in support of the berm and the possible immediate establishment of an assessment district to
provide for the maintenance of the berm, thereby proceeding with the original plan, should
the meeting prove futile.
Mayor Kanel directed the staff to organize the com munity meeting and notify all property
owners in the area in question of the meeting.
Councilman Coronado added his opinion that the Council and staff should be unanimous in
striving for a solution that provides a contiguous design.
Mayor Kanel asked the City Manager to provide, at the Council meeting of March 25, an
outline of the information to be mailed to the property owners advising them of the upcoming
meeting and explaining the reasons thereof.

City Council Minutes
March 11, 1985
Discussion continued regarding the time and the place for the meeting.
Councilman Mullen requested that the meeting be held after April 11, which is when he is
scheduled to return from his vacation.
Mayor Kanel suggested that at the April 8 meeting, the Council adjourn to the special
meeting, which would be held approximately one week after the Council meeting of the 8th.
Mr. Boyd Hexem again spoke regarding this issue and stated that anything would be better
than the berm and encouraged the Council to add the jogging trail issue to the agenda for the
special meeting.
Mitch Drainy from the Cypress Land Company assured the Council that if the berm does not
stay that he could put the soil to good use for the development of his property.
CONSIDERA nON OF APPROVAL OF COMMERCIAL WARRANT LIST FOR WARRANTS
NO. 8424 - 8583: It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Coronado
