softball teams on winning the Amateur Softball Association of America 1986 National

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: Mayor Lacayo asked if anyone wished to address the Council in
regard to any matter not on the agenda.
Mr. Don Sandefur, 5322 Halifax, Cypress, questioned whether there is a State law prohibiting
an individual from serving and being compensated under two governmental bodies, and he
referred to the Mayor serving on the Council and the North Orange County Community
College Board. He stated he will be studying this matter further because he feels there is a
conflict.
Councilman Coronado requested that the City Manager and City Attorney investigate this
matter and report to the Council on behalf of the citizens who are concerned with the issue.
Councilman Coronado discussed a recent ad in the News Enterprise which stated the Cypress
Chamber of Commerce congratulated the City Council for rezoning the Los Alamitos race
track property. Councilman Coronado felt the residents of Cypress do not expect the
Chamber to take a position in political affairs of the City and he stated he was very upset
with the ad which is very political particularly because it states that the Council approved
the rezoning and he has opposed it all along. Councilman Coronado asked that the Chamber
representatives explain their position and also print a retraction stating that he is not to be
included in the ad.
Mr. Greg Poyner, Chamber of Commerce President, stated the Board of Directors voted in
favor of the rezoning issue on the property but in no way were responsible for the ad, they
did not give the authority to place the ad and they did not pay for the ad.
Councilman Coronado asked that the Chamber publish a retraction to the ad before the
election, and clarify that he did not support the rezoning. He asked what the Chamber
planned to do on this matter.
Mr. Poyner stated they have contacted an attorney, held executive board meetings and
meetings with the publisher, Mr. Erskine, and the Board of Directors has prepared a
statement for publication this week explaining that the ad was not placed or paid for by the
Chamber.

City Council Minutes
October 27, 1986
Councilman Coronado reported that he was contacted by Mr. Poultney regarding the issue of
motorhome parking on streets and he asked what action would be taken on this item which
had been referred to the Traffic Commission. Mr. Essex indicated that staff would check on
this item and advise the City Council.
Councilman Coronado stated he was contacted by another resident regarding the fence on the
north side of the Holder Street channel. The resident was concerned about motorbike riding
and needed fence repairs. Councilman Partin stated the City received assurance from
Supervisor Wieder that a new fence will be constructed by the end of November.
#I"~
At Councilman Partin's request, the Mayor added Item #35 to the agenda regarding traffic
and bus problems on Holder Street, and street sweeping on Denni between Ball Road and the

STAFF REPORTS &. DISCUSSION: The City Manager requested an Executive Session for
personnel matters.
Mayor Lacayo stated the Council recently received a letter from a resident regarding
motorists being cited for crossing the solid line of a bike trail when turning off of Ball Road
onto Valley View. The Mayor suggested that the dotted line be increased so that motorists
lining up to make a right turn are not cited for being in the bike lane.
There being no objections, the Mayor referred this matter to the Traffic Commission for
study and a report.
CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: PARCEL MAP #86-0269, DIVIDE ONE PARCEL
INTO TWO PARCELS, SOUTHWEST CORNER OF PLAZA DRIVE AND VALLEY VIEW
STREET - MCDONNELL DOUGLAS REALTY COMPANY: Mayor Lacayo opened the public
hearing and the Planning Director presented a report dated October 21 describing the request
to divide an existing 11.5 acre parcel to create one buildable lot of 4.219 acres. The
proposed parcel map is to facilitate the development of the 5-story Sony office building.
Councilman Coronado questioned Condition #3 and the Public Works Director explained the
condition relating to a retaining wall.
~.
Mayor Lacayo stated the Council would consider the next public hearing on the agenda at this
time relating to the loading dock for the Sony office building.
CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT #86-21, LOADING
DOCK, 10833 VALLEY VIEW STR.EET - MCDONNELL DOUGLAS REALTY COMPANY:
Mayor Lacayo opened the public hearing and the Planning Director summarized a report
dated October 20 describing the application to construct a truck loading facility facing a
street (Plaza Drive) at 10833 Valley View Street. The Planning Director reported the loading
dock barely faces the interior street and should not create an adverse impact.
Councilman Partin indicated that loading docks are customary features of office buildings
and he asked if design review could be used for accessory loading docks rather than the public
hearing process. Mrs. Eynon stated that an application for a loading dock facing a street is
subject to a conditional use permit in order to notify the Council of the proposal; loading
docks which do not face a public street are approved under design review. Mrs. Eynon
suggested that a stipulation in the Code could be developed for loading docks which are minor
uses for office buildings.
Mr. Merle Pautsch, McDonnell Douglas Realty, stated Condition #3 is a standard condition
that will not apply because there is no grade difference on the property and no need for
retaining walIS. He stated Sony requested a designated area for trucks to load and unload and
it is not actually a loading dock or a massive loading area.

There were no other speakers.

Cerritos Avenue. Mrs. Eynon stated that a revised Exhibit B dated October 27, 1986 has been
submitted by the Public Works Director. She stated the applicant submitted a color board for
the Council's review and Condition #31 requires that final approval will include a review of
the building colors before building permits are issued.
The Public Works Director responded to a question from Councilman Coronado and stated
that when the project is completed the drainage channel will be covered from Cerritos to
Katella. Mr. Beardsley reported that there is some question whether the electrical lines on
Cerritos can be placed underground because of their voltage and he recommended that
Condition #13, the second sentence, be changed to read: Utility services on power poles on
Valley View Street and Cerritos Avenue shall be installed underground except that the City
Engineer may waive the undergrounding of existing electrical lines on Cerritos Avenue after
review of pertinent design and cost data in a feasibility report to be submitted by the Edison
Company and the developer.
Mr. Robert Sundstrom, representing Williamson &: Schmid, 17782 Sky Park, Irvine, stated they
have reviewed the revised Exhibit B and modification to Condition #13 and they have no
problems with either change. Mr. Sundstrom stated they will proceed quickly with all facets
of design work and hope to break ground immediately. He stated the corner shopping center
will be incorporated in the business park but the bar will be removed.
Mr. Chancy Lock, representing the architect, 18002 Cowan, Irvine, stated the colors of the
panels will be semi-gloss and long-lasting, fade resistant baked enamel. He stated the panels
are designed to be an integral part of the building and not look like mechanical equipment
screening. He stated they selected dark colors which will recede and not reflect sunlight.
There were no other speakers.

property and is not on the easement line. Mr. Sepchic stated that because of potential
earthquake problems he is opposed to the variance. He stated he objected to the pool being
located so close to the property line and he felt if any problems occur his property could be
flooded.
Councilman Coronado asked if he would object if the City Engineer determined that the
structural plans are acceptable to the City. Mr. Sepchic stated he would not object.
Mr. Jim Avare, 9602 Margaret, Cypress, stated his property is 12 to 18 inches lower than the
applicant's and his only concern is with the grade difference. He stated he would not object
to the variance if the City Engineer is satisfied that the revised plans are structurally sound.
Mrs. Charlotte Sepchic, 9612 Margaret, Cypress, stated she is concerned about the variance
because of the fact that the soil is very soft.

Mrs. Eynon reported that the property owner's request was made in response to a proposal for
construction of a hotel on the 2.17 acre site located at the northwest corner of Katella
Avenue and Meridian Drive. She indicated that hotel/motel uses are currently permitted in
all other Planned Community Zones subject to a conditional use permit.
Councilman Coronado asked how staff determines the parking requirements for hotel/motel
uses. Mrs. Eynon stated there are Code requirements for parking, however, if a hotel/motel
is proposed in conjunction with other development then a parking study is required for the
mixed uses and parking requirements are based on the study.

permit requirement for hotels/motels in this zone.

Anaheim, stated he is in favor of the amendment. He stated they have had several requests

CONSIDERATION OF SUBMITTING A PROPOSAL TO THE ARMED FORCES RESERVE
CENTER FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PUBLIC GOLF COURSE: Mr. Essex presented a
report dated October 23 and recommended that the Council submit a request to the
Commander of the Armed Forces Reserve Center to initiate the development of a public golf
course on the AFRC property. The request would include a waiver of the runway setback
requirement. Mr. Essex also presented a supplemental report dated October 27 and
recommended that the Council direct him to communicate with Captain Heinecke of the
Long Beach Naval Command requesting the Navy to share the golf course at the Armed
Forces Reserve Center with the public on an interim basis, subject to the condition that the
public use will be limited to those times that will not conflict with the military use of the
golf course.
Mayor Lacayo stated he spoke with Mr. Gillespie today who indicated that anything was
possible and he is not opposed to considering the request. Mr. Gillespie had asked how many
golfers would be interested in using the facility.
Mr. Chuck Schworman, 6907 Cerritos Avenue, Stanton, asked what time the military course
might be available for public use. He indicated that if public play cannot begin until mid
afternoon then the golfers would not have time to complete a round of golf. Mr. Schworman
stated he supported the recommendation to establish a public golf course on the AFRC
property. He reported that this year's membership in the Los Alamitos Men's Club is 550
members and half of them have paid dues for next year. He stated that they, as well as the
women's golf clubs, would be interested in using the military golf course.
Councilman Kanel noted that there are many retired military people who use the golf course
who may be upset about sharing it and he felt the proposal for interim public use may be
premature. He recommended that the Council begin by submitting the formal application to
Colonel Hernandez for private development of a public golf course on the AFRC property.
Mayor Lacayo indicated that he was interested in proceeding with the request for shared use
because the golfers have expressed a need for a place to play when the Los Alamitos course
closes, and submitting the request will demonstrate the Council's interest in relocating the
golf course. He stated he was aware of the retired personnel's use of the course and the
proposed public use would occur only when extra playing time is available and it would be on
an interim basis.
Councilman Kanel suggested that the retired military golf group should be notified that the
Council is officially making a request for shared public use and it should be clarified that
public use would be for an interim period and only when extra time is available.
Mayor Lacayo suggested that the Council proceed with the request to Colonel Hernandez.
It was moved by Councilman Kanel and seconded by Councilman Partin to direct the City
Manager to initiate a request to Colonel Hernandez of the Armed Forces Reserve Center to
establish a public golf course on the available properties at the Armed Forces Reserve
Center, including a waiver of the runway setback requirement. The motion unanimously
