CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: VARIANCE NO. 85-4 (W ALL SIGNS, MCDONNELL DOUGLAS CORPORATION, 5701 KATELLA AVENUE): Planning Director Chris Eynon presented a staff report dated July 31, 1985. This item was continued from the July 22, 1985 meeting to enable staff and the applicant sufficient time to resolve questions concerning a modification of the application request and identification of C i t y 8<9Tlc i 1 M i nut e s August 12, 1985 the McDonnell-Douglas Division responsible for the subject five-story office building. Following the meeting with staff, the request had been modified to include not only the two McDonnell Douglas wall signs exceeding the maximum allowable sign area of 150 square feet, but also a request to allow the placement of multiple signs on the south and east building faces. Ms. Eynon indicated that staff felt some legal justification for supporting the two oversized wall signs due to the size of the building and the long McDonnell Douglas name. However, staff felt that the request for multiple signs on the south and east faces was not a legitimate variance hardship and did not support the additional signs. Mr. Merle Pautch, of McDonnell Realty Company, spoke in support of the sign requests and expressed his opinion that due to the size of the building, a hardship does exist and that the signs are necessary for proper identification of the businesses located in the building. Mr. Pautch reported that the landscaping partially covers the existing lower level signs and when the trees grow larger, it will be more difficult to see the signs. Mr. Phil Arroyo, representing McAuto, was present to answer questions from the City Council. Councilman Partin asked why McDonnell Douglas has not considered signing the west side of the building, adding that when he travels eastbound on Katella, the building is not indentifiable. Councilman Partin added that Condition No.2 listed in the Staff Report which states, "No future signage shall be allowed on the north and west building faces unless the south and east building faces are reduced to one sign each", is not practical. There was no opposition to the Variance. It was moved by Council man Mullen and seconded by Councilman Lacayo to close the Public Hearing and to adopt the Resolution by title only, title as follows, approving Variance No. 85- 4, Option No.3 listed in the staff report, which approves two oversized wall signs on the building's south and east face and allows an additional sign on the building's south (Racal- lVIilgo) and east (Toshiba) face, and to include only Condition No.1, which states that all necessary approval and permits be obtained from the Planning and Building Departments prior to the installation of any sign.

(;-211 - BUILOING EXPANSION OF HYATT DIE CAST, 4656 LINCOLN AVENUE: Planning Director Chris Eynon presented a staff report dated July 31, 1985 for continuation of consideration of an amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. C-211, building expansion of Hyatt Die Cast, 4656 Lincoln Avenue. This item was continued from the meeting of June 24 and .July 8, 1985 to enable the applicant and staff sufficient time to address neighborhood concerns regarding noise and landscape screening. Staff has been working with \1r. Bric1cson, Noise Specialist for the County of Orange, as well as the management of Hyatt Die Cast to resolve the concerns. The applicant has planted 36 additional 24-inch box trees to fill in the gaps between existing onsite trees. Upon evaluation of the proposed building addition's sound attenuation, Mr. Brickson has determined that the proposed addition and insulation should be effective and the noise transmission should fall within the acceptable City standards and possibly below present levels. A communication was received from Mrs. Anne Garrett, 9191 Julie Beth Street, Cypress, urging careful consideration of this issue. Staff recommended approval of amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. C-211, subject to conditions. At approximately 8:15 p.m., a hlackout occurred in the Council Chambers and the electricity was restored at 8:40 p.m. At 8:42 p.m., the meeting reconvened with all Council members present. Mr. Al Hyatt, 251 Orange Acres Drive, Anaheim, spoke in support of approval and indicated that colored sheet metal has been added to the existing building to demonstrate the aesthetics of the proposed addition. Mr. l-lyatt added that the interior has been insulated. In response to a question, Mr. Hyatt briefly summarized his business operations in Cypress, as -2- City Council Minutes August 12, 19,85 38:3 well as Tijuana, Mexico. Councilman Mullen expressed his concern regarding the statement in Mr. Brickson's report indicating that with the proposed additions of the acoustical treatment of furnace fans and silencers, the noise received by the residential area would be less than presently, questioning how he reached that conclusion. l\1r. Hyatt reported that a double wall will exist between the furnace and the rear of the building, which should alleviate some of the noise. Councilman Coronado questioned how Mr. Hyatt intended to eliminate the vibrations transmitted to the nearby properties and added his opinion that the original conditions should be adhered to prior to consideration of an additional request. In response to the vibration concern, Mr. Hyatt indicated that he intends to install a heavier floor and increase absorption padding under the machine. Mr. Les Wilson, 9190 Whitney Way, Cypress, representing a number of residents living adjacent to the business, spoke in opposition to the proposed expansion and requested the following: 1) Items as originally required by the City Council to be corrected prior to the consideration of any expansion or construction on the Hyatt property; and 2) Items to be accomplished during the consideration of the expansion to the Hyatt north building. Mr. Wilson explained that the details of these two phases would be presented by two residents who live adjacent to the Hyatt property. Mrs. Ann Marie '\1cLauglin, 9161 Julie Beth Street, outlined the following list of items originally required by the City Council and, on behalf of a number of people, stated that they are requiring that these items be corrected prior to the consideration of any expansion or construction on the Hyatt property: 1) Complete the perimeter tree planting plan around the perimeter of the property for the north and south buildings, storage yard and the RV storage area; 2) replace dead or unhealthy perimeter area trees with the original type required; 3) maint!lin the perimeter area trees in a manner such that they are given the required nourishment and trimming in a manner which prevents the limbs from growing into neighboring properties; 4) correct the flooding of neighboring property adjacent to the RV storage which results when these trees are watered; 5) cease parldng vehicles in the RV storage Hrea approximately 24' from the neighboring property line; 6) pave, stripe and mark "no parking" on the 25' wide emergency vehicle access drive in the RV storage area; 7) remove inoperable and unlicensed non-recreational vehicles that are stored in the RV storage area, as well as ceasing vehicle repair in the RV storage area; 8) initiate and continue the required valet shuttle for patrons of the RV storage area; 9) cease and desist the violation of the RV storage area agreement by operating the storage area prior to 9:00 a.m. and after 5:00 p.m., maintain the operating hours as stipulated by the City Council; and 10) replace the sound abatement material on the existing north building which has deteriorated or been re 111 oved. Mr. Patrick O'Hara, 9170 Whitney Way, Cypress, outlined the list of items to be accomplished during the consideration of the expansion of the Hyatt north building: 1) Plan to construct the addition to the north building out of concrete block or bricks, insulate so that the noise does not violate the noise level codes of the County of Orange and the City of Cypress. The exterior aesthetics of the building to conform with the new construction that is presently underway on Lincoln, as well as the construction in the Cypress Industrial Park; 2) the doors to the buildings to be kept closed so that the noise does not infiltrate into the neighboring homes; 3) a reporting procedure set up for complaints or irritants to the neighbors to include a means of informing the neighbors of the corrective action taken; 4) the vibrations eliminated which infiltrate into the neighboring homes from the machinery use; 5) investigate and determine that none of the chemicals used in the manufacturing process that spread into the surrounding areas violate the Orange County and/or Cypress Health Codes; 6) dispose of toxic waste in accordance with the existing Federal, State, County and City Codes; 7) improve the aesthetics of the north building by eliminating the rust on the air turbans and roof and by not removing any of the side panels; 8) provide the City Maintenance personnel with the access to the storm drain located near the south building for the purpose of accomplishing the required cleaning when necessary; 9) improve working conditions so that the employees will be able to work with the doors to the buildings closed; and 10) limit working hours of operation from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. - no further night operations. Mr. Joe Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca Drive, Cypress expressed his opposition to the expansion, adding that the trees are not an effective buffer. Mr. Hardcastle added that the noise is not as bad as the vibrations. \IIr. Howard Neil, 9171 Julie Beth, rypress, asked for assurance that the noise will not increase. -3- 03~4council Minutes August 12,1985 Mr. Fred Glass, 9210 Whitney Way, Cypress, expressed his opinion that the tree investigation is incomplete and that the incorrect trees have been planted to fill in the gaps and added that further proof should be obtained assuring that sound will be decreased. Mr. Wayne Stoleker, 4811 F'ieldbrook Lane, Cypress, stressed that the residences located due east of the facility are as affected by the noise and vibrations from the operation as the areas immediately adjacent. !VIr. Hyatt, addressing a number of the concerns expressed, assured that the chemicals are disposed of properly and legally; a metal building has already been purchased, prior to approval, therefore he would not consider a concrete building; insulation inspection will be conducted to determine degree of deterioration; the particular trees planted were done so due to a recommendation that they are faster growing and larger plants; the trees have been tl'irnmed, at considerable expense, because they were encroaching on neighboring yards; and until owners of stored vehicles can be notified, the stored cars must remain. Councilman Lacayo inquired whether VIr. Hyatt would be agreeable to meeting with staff to address these concerns in detail. Mr. qyatt indicated that he would be happy to. Mr. Hyatt added that he is willing to cooperate and attempt to resolve the concerns mentioned and indicated that he would investigate the allegations. It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilman Coronado to continue the public hearing to enable staff and Mr. Hyatt to review the entire list of desires and allegations for violations of any conditions to the Conditional Use Permit, and that staff return to the meeting of August 26 with the results. Discussion continued regarding whether this item should be continued or if it could be resolved, at least in part, at this time. Council man Coronado expressed concern that previous conditions connected with the Conditional Use Permit have not been complied with, and therefore felt that investigation in de cd necds to take place to ensure that the Conditional Use Permit conditions are being met. Mr. Hyatt addressed Condition No.2 of Exhibit A, which states that the westerly drive approach on Lincoln Avenue in front of his development shall be removed and replaced with sidewa]'{ and full height curb and gutter according to City standards; the holes in the easterly driveway approllch shall be cleaned to a depth of 6" and filled with grout, which is a condition that Nas previously included in CUP No. 82-18. Mr. Hyatt responded that the State had owned that drive approach and opposed removal. Mayor Kanel questioned the status of the street light that was to be installed. Mr. Hyatt reported that it was forgotten. Chris Eynon requested clarification of what direction Council wishes to proceed regarding the vibration issue. Councilman Coronado and Councilman Lacayo expressed that they understood staff's limitation with the problem and indicated that they did not wish additional funds expended or outside assistance obtained. Mrs. Wilson, a resident in the audience, asked that staff review the tonnage of the machine to be added, reporting that the size has an impact on the amount of noise and vibration transmitted. Mayor Kanel indicated that it would also be looked into. The motion to continue this item to the meeting of August 26, 1985, unanimously carried.

CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF REPORT FROM THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION REGARDING THE INSTALLA.TION OF A LEFT-TURN LANE ON WALKER STREET BETWEEN CRESCENT AVENUE AND DANNY AVENUE: Public Works Director Bob Beardsley presented a staff report dated July 29,1985. At the July 8 meeting the Council reviewed a recommendation from the Traffic Commission to install a continous left-turn lane on \Valker Street between Crescent A venue and Danny A venue; and establish a "No Parking Any Time" zone on Walker Street, both sides, from Crescent to Danny Avenues. The City has received petitions, letters, and phone calls, the most recently received expressing opposition to the elimination of parking. The accident data for Walker Street hetween Crescent and Lincoln A venues indicates that 30 accidents have occured at this section in the last 3 1/2 years, 'Nith 16 of these reported accidents involving vehicles stopping on Walker Street to make left turns onto side streets or driveways. Staff felt that by the installation of the continuous It:'.~ft turn lane, this type of accident would be substantially reduced. The suggestions to alleviate the accidents on Walker Street that have been made since the July 8 Council meeting are as follows: 1) four-way stop signs at Vonnie Lane/Walker Street; 2) eliminate parking on one sioe of Walker Street only; 3) install red curb zones at intersections only; and 4) left-turn pockets one or more intersections only rather than along the entire stretch. Staff felt that the first three suggestions were not feasible or did not adequately addcess the problem. Staff indicated that if a left-turn lane were installed only between DeLong Street and Danny A venue, it vlould address the majority of the accidents, provide a left-turn access lane for all side streets except Sprague, and provide access to the heavily- used 8791 apart m ent dri veway. Mr. Beardsley presented a video presentation depicting the existing conditions, selected left- turn movements, and layouts of both the recommended striping and Alternative 1. Councilman \1ullen stressed that his main concern is for the public's safety, indicating that although some parking would be eliminated along Walker, it would be a safer area in which to travel. Ms. Marie Gilbert, 8602 Walker Street, presented a petition with approximately 144 signatures in opposition to the elimination of parking and expressed her opinion that the speed will increase causing a more dangerous situation than presently exists. 1\111'. Clyde Briggs, 8615 Walker Street, stressed the inconvenience that would be created due to the elimination of parking, and indicated that if the speed could be reduced, posssibly by the use of a stop sign, the accidents would decrease. Ms. Evelyn Murdy, 8611 Walker Street, questioned whether the complex scheduled to be constructed adjacent to her home would have adequate parking to avoid the need to utilize Wa);<er Street for parking. Mr. .Jerry Jehoich, 5622 St. Ann, C;ypress, stressed the need for a solution, adding that when the south end of the City is completely developed it will cause additional traffic on Walker and additional accidents would be inevitable. Mr. Glen Vlom, 8612 Walker Street, expressed concern over the speed of the traffic on Walker and added that if parking is eliminated, the vehicles' speeds will increase, thereby endangering the children playing in the area. -5- '1 q ~~ C~~~ouncil Minutes August 12, 1985 Chief Lowenberg indicated that the area would be safer with the installation of a bike lane and eUminateion of parking because it would provide an area for the cyclist to ride farther from the traffic. The Chief indicated that selective enforcement has taken place from July 11 to August 11. Within that time period he reported that 21 contacts had been made, with 19 citations issued and one rear-end accident occurring. Former Traffic Engineer Dan Schiada explained that the accident history on Walker Street, south of Lincoln A venue is not unusual, as it is north of Lincoln. In response to an inquiry from Council, Mr. Schiada reported that if the Council wished to install a continuous left- turn lane on Walker Street from Crescent to Danny A venues, the main accident area would be addressed. It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Partin to adopt the Resolution by title only, title as follows, establishing a "No Parking Any Time" zone on both sides of Walker Street between DeLong Street and Lincoln Avenue; to approve Alternative 1, the installation of a continuous left-turn lane from DeLong Street to Lincoln Avenue; and to authorize the Finance Department to request bids for the required sandblasting work with restriping to be done by City forces. RESOLUTION NO. 2967 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS ESTABLISHING A "NO PARKING ANY TIME" AREA ON WALKER STREET, 80TH SIDES, FROM CR ESCENT AVENUE TO DANNY AVENUE. The motion unanimously carried by the following roll call vote: A YES: NOES: i\HSENT: 5 COUN(~IL MEMBERS: o rOUNCIL MEMBERS: o COUNCIL MEMBERS: Coronado, Lacayo, Mullen, Partin and Kanel None None Mayor J{anel indicated that Item No. 36-A, which was added to the Agenda at the heginning of the meeting regarding the McDonnell Douglas representatives urging support of the 1\10-80 Aircl'aft, would be heaJ'd at this time, Mr. Robert Fleming, 9208 Bloomfield, representlltive from McDonald Douglas, asked for City Council support in urging the Orange County Board of Supervisors not to enter into a compromise agreement which would adversely affect the use of McDonnell Douglas MD-80 Aircraft at ,John Wayne Airport. 'VIr. Fleming reported that an action such as this by the Board would threaten the jobs of thousands at McDonnell Douglas, the majority of which are residents of Orange County. He further indicated that the minute differences in noise created by the locally built lVID-80 and the other aircraft built out of state does not represent an equitable balance between the economical and ecological impact that the proposed agreement would create. Following discussion, it was moved by Councilman Mul1en to adopt a Resolution by title only, title as follows, urging the Board of Supervisors support of the MD-80 Aircraft and opposing the creation of the sub-classifications, with letters to be transmitted to the Board of Supervisors, as well as to all Orange County cities urging their support.

CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF THE CYPRESS BLUE RIBBON CITIZENS COMMITTEE REPORT: A staff report was presented dated August 5, 1985. Mr. David Hughes, a member of the Cypress Blue Ribbon Citizens Committee, summarized the Committee's report regarding Congressman Dannemeyer's recommendation to close the Katella Corridor to Air Base traffic. Mr. Hughes reported that the Committee does not support the Congressman's position because it is felt that it would not be appropriate in light of the facts and considerations which the Com mittee has presented in its formal report to the Council and that it would be counter-productive to the cooperative relationship which has been developed between the City and the Los AIamitos Armed Forces Reserve Center. The Council commended the Committee on the excellent job they have done and indicated agreement to the Committee's recommendation. Mr. Hughes in turn commended Assistant City Manager David Barrett for his time and effort spent with the rommittee. Colonel Brandt from the Air Base com mended the Com mittee on the fine report which outlined reasonable recommendations. Colonel Brandt indicated that the Air Base is willing to i'nplement some of the recommendations at this time and that some may take 3 to 4 months to accomplish. He reported thA.t the Air Base is on the list to receive the UH-l Simuliltors and that he will contA.ct the Council when additional information is received. Overall, the Colonel conveyed thA.t the Base is very pleased with the relationship with the Committee and the rity. 1\11'. John O'Neil reminded the Council that by obtaining the Simul!ltors the problems would not be resolved, only alleviated. It was moved by Council man Mullen and seconded by Councilman Coronado to direct staff to prepare letters of commendation to each member of the Cypress Blue Ribbon Citizens Committee.

Pryor is w€'lcome to contact staff or return to a Council meeting for additional information. At this time Mayor Kanel indicated that Item No. 32 would be taken out of order and heard at this time.

Of foremost concern was developing an economically feasible alternative which would relocate the trail away from the residences, thus providing more adequate security for them. Discussion centered around a resident's proposal that showed relocating the trail to the north side of the Channel west of Holder and leaving it in place on the Channel's south side east of Holder. Connection between the two trails would be made via a foot bridge at Holder Street. That proposal would save approximately $60,000 but would preclude maintenance and security patrols along the Channel. Other related issues regarding trail lighting, channel fencing, and completion of the berm were also discussed. Mr. Carl Robertson, representative from the Warland Company, suggested a modification to the berm which would prove to be a benefit to the industrial side and yet not compromise the aesthetics from the residential side. He indicated that the concept basically consists of a wall on the industrial side and landscape on the residential side. Mr. Robertson also suggested closing off the bike trail during the evening hours and adding police patrol. It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilman Mullen to continue this item to the adjourned Council meeting of August 19, 1985 to enable further discussion. Mayor Kanel so ordered it continued.
