THE CYPRESS CITY COUNCIL
HELD
February 9, 1987
The regular meeting of the Cypress City Council was called to order at 6:50 p.m. on Monday,
February 9, 1987, in the Cypress City Council Chamber, 5275 Orange Avenue, Cypress,
California, by Mayor John Kanel.
PRESENT: Councilmembers Arnold, Davis, Mullen and Kanel
ABSENT: Councilman Coronado
Mayor Kanel announced that Councilman Coronado would be absent tonight because of
illness.
JOINT MEETING WITH THE RECREATION AND COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION:
Commission Members Castro, Diaz, Hallak and Heinz were present. Chairman Diaz asked for
a report on the status of the Los Alamitos golf course and the plans for a golf course on the
Air Station property. Mayor Kanel reported that the Council has taken no action on the Los
Alamitos golf course property and he indicated that there are various reports on what
Hollywood Park intends to do with the entire property. Mr. Essex reported that the
Commander of the Air Station has not responded to a letter sent by the City three to four
months ago regarding use of a portion of their property for a golf course. Mayor Kanel
reported that, according to Colonel Hernandez, the golf course issue has been put on hold
because of the proposed study on relocating the Air Station helicopter operations and the
possibility of building naval housing on the property.
Chairman Diaz asked if a dedicated park will be included in the development plans for the
Texaco Tank Farm property. The Council and staff described the development plans by the
Fieldstone Company and reported that preliminary plans show a parksite on the property.
Chairman Diaz requested a discussion of the selection process and composition of the
Commission. The Council reported that they will conduct interviews of Commission
applicants on February 21. The Commissioners expressed concern about an imbalance on the
Commission and suggested the appointment of another female Commissioner.
Chairman Diaz reported that the Commission strongly feels that the Ordinance requiring a
City Commissioner to resign upon filing for the City Council is unfair, and the Commission
would like the Council to reconsider the ordinance. Mayor Kanel indicated that the purpose
of the Ordinance was to remove any advantage that a Commissioner might have over any
member of the community in an election campaign. Chairman Diaz noted that a Commission
loses a valuable member when that person resigns to apply for the City Council. Mayor
Kanel stated that the Council will consider the Commission's request.
Mayor Kanel inquired about user fees for the Community Center. Mr. DeCarlo reported that
there are separate fee schedules, and residents are charged a lower fee than non-residents.
He reported that residents can make reservations three months in advance for Community
Center facilities and 90% of the use is by residents.
Councilwoman Arnold asked if the Commission received information on the amendments to
the Brown Act. Mr. Essex stated that the Commissions were provided with this information.
Commissioner Hallak advised the Council that he is participating in a non-profit organization
which is being formed at the request of the Board of Supervisors to seek funds to provide
senior citizen meal services for the Cities of Cypress, Garden Grove, Los Alamitos and Seal
Beach. He offered to keep the Council informed about the program.
RECESS: Mayor Kanel called a recess at 7:30 p.m. The meeting was called back to order at
7:40 p.m. with Councilman Coronado absent.
Also present were City Manager/City Clerk Darrell Essex, City Attorney Mark Huebsch, and

and Community Services Commission. He reported that Councilman Coronado was ill and
would not be present tonight.

City Council Minutes February 9, 1987
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: The pledge to the flag was led by Councilwoman Arnold.
PRESENTATION: Mr. Mike Osborne, member of the Miss City of Cypress Pageant
committee, thanked the City Council for their offer of a loan to the scholarship fund and
stated the committee will decline the loan since it has raised $1,000 to be awarded in
scholarships to the Queen and runners-up in the contest. Mr. Osborne introduced Kimberly
Burtch, Miss Teen Cypress 1987. Miss Burtch stated that it was an honor to be selected and
she was excited about her reign as Miss Teen Cypress. She invited the Councilmembers to
attend a 75th anniversary celebration of the Girl Scouts which will be held on March 12.
Mr. Osborne introduced Taressa Weaver, Miss City of Cypress 1987. Miss Weaver stated that
it was an honor to be selected Miss City of Cypress and that she will do her best to represent
the City of Cypress.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: Mayor Kanel asked if anyone wished to speak in regard to any
matter that was not on the agenda. He indicated that speakers would be limited to five
minutes each.
Mr. Howard Rowan, 5831 Shirl Street, Cypress, reported that he has filed a complaint with
the Orange County District Attorney requesting an investigation of the payment of City
funds to rormer Councilman Lacayo while he served as both a Councilmember and member of
the North Orange County Community College Board. Mr. Rowan read the letter to the
District Attorney. His concerns were over the possible illegal payment of City funds, and the
inactivity of the City Council and staff in pursuing recovery of the funds.
Mayor Kanel stated that the Council may discuss this item in Executive Session.
Mr. Felix Lopez, 5661 Orange Avenue, Cypress, asked if the Council would respond to the
letter he submitted at the January 12 meeting. Mr. Lopez stated that he plans to circulate a
flier to inform Cypress residents about the issue concerning the former Councilman.
Mr. Harold Diaz, 6121 Barbados, Cypress, submitted a petition opposing the flyover at
Katella and Valley View. The petition signers felt the flyover would create a significant
increase in traffic and traffic noise, limit access to the retail property at the intersection
and be a detriment to orderly development, and encourage high traffic speeds and backed-up
traffic on Valley View. The signers asked the Council to deny the flyover construction.
CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT #86-36, PRE-
SCHOOL, 6169 BALL ROAD: Mayor Kanel opened the public hearing and the Planning
Director presented a report dated February 2 describing the application to establish a pre-
school in the Cinnamon Square Shopping Center. The report described development plan
changes which the applicant proposed in response to staff's concerns.
Mr. Milton Yates, attorney for the property owner and operators of the pre-school, reported
that they have read the conditions and all conditions can be met without any problem.
Mayor Kanel asked if anyone wished to speak in support. No one wished to speak. He asked
if anyone wished to speak in opposition.
Mrs. Charlotte Osinga, 9838 Gene Street, Cypress, felt that the pre-school would generate
more traffic and noise through the residential tract.
Mr. Tony Sanchez, owner of Prime Time Pizza in Cinnamon Square, stated that the acute
parking problem in the center has caused businesses to fail, and removal of more parking may
end his business. He reported that on Friday evenings between 8:00 and 11:00 p.m. most of
the parking spaces are taken up by teenage customers of the pizza shop.
There were no other speakers in opposition.
Mr. Yates stated that there is always surplus parking available at the rear of the shopping
center and signs are posted about the availability of this parking. He stated that there would
be no parking conflict for Prime Time Pizza because the pre-school will close at 6:30 p.m.
Councilman Davis questioned whether a shopping center was an appropriate location for a
pre-school from an aesthetic standpoint. Councilwoman Arnold expressed concern over
whether this was an appropriate location for children to spend a lot of time. She reported
that she visited the site and she was concerned over the corner location and the depressing
effect of the lack of light in the building. She asked if the rear parking area could
accommodate pre-school traffic, and she suggested that a closed elementary school would be
-2-

City Council Minutes February 9, 1987
a better location. Mayor Kanel asked for a listing of pre-schools which are located in
shopping centers. He felt a shopping center was inappropriate for a school site, and he
suggested that the applicants investigate an elementary school location. He suggested that
the property owner attempt to fill the vacancy in the center with a commercial business.
Mayor Kanel stated that he spoke with Councilman Coronado about this hearing and
Councilman Coronado was not happy with the application but he would listen to the tapes of
the hearing.
Mr. Yates stated that there is a similar pre-school located in a shopping center on Lincoln ~
A venue. He requested that the Council continue the hearing so that the applicant can
present information showing the trend in pre-schools. He stated that more pre-schools are
being located in centralized populated areas and in industrial areas and shopping malls.
Ms. Gladys Bryant reported that she has operated the pre-school in the shopping center at
Lincoln and Denni for 3 1/2 years, and the pre-school was part of the original development.
She reported that at the Ball Road location they propose an aesthetically pleasing
environment for the children with rocks, sand, grass and water play. She stated they have
hired a lighting specialist and they propose natural lighting and skylights for the children's
benefit. She reported that the pre-schools at the elementary schools will be closing this
year. Ms. Bryant stated that she would like an opportunity to better explain their plans to
the Council.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Davis to continue the public
hearing regarding C.U.P. #86-36 to the February 23 meeting and request that the applicant

requested Council approval.

and laundry rooms and requested that the laundry and exercise rooms be redesigned to
discourage future conversion and enable a City inspection from outside the building. He
suggested that the hearing be continued so the applicant may redesign the plans.

concerned with a 3-story structure and how the project fit in with the Council's plan for

a report dated February 2 describing the application to operate an herbal pain clinic
featuring acupuncture, acupressure and herbal medicine at 4682 Lincoln Avenue. The City

Mrs. Cecillia Yang, 3778 W. 9th, Los Angeles, applicant, reported that her clients have

State for ten years to perform acupuncture. She reported that she works with a physician for
the purpose of filing Medicare claims. She indicated that operating hours of 10:00 a.m. to
10:00 p.m. were requested because she treats clients after working hours. Mrs. Yang
indicated that she would accept a termination hour of 7 :00 p.m. as recommended by staff.
Councilman Mullen expressed concern over the business being converted by a future property
owner to one which is negative to the community's welfare and asked if the conditions will
ensure against a future obnoxious use. The City Attorney indicated that Condition #4 which
states that the permit will expire in one year unless extended by the Council should provide
significant protection. He suggested that there could be conditions requiring the
identification of all employees, and review and permits through the Police Department. The
Planning Director suggested an additional condition that if there is substantiated evidence
that the use has changed from what was originally approved then the permit could be brought
back for Council review at any time.
Councilman Mullen requested that the City Attorney recommend conditions relating to the
City's ability to enforce revocation of the permit. The City Attorney requested an

FLYOVER AT VALLEY VIEW & KATELLA: The City Manager presented a report dated
January 21 which summarized advantages and disadvantages of the flyover construction. Mr.
Essex indicated that letters were received from Mr. Jack Hosier, 11550 Cozumel, who
expressed opposition to the flyover, and from the President of the Chamber of Commerce
reporting on the results of the Chamber's survey.
Miss Lisa Mills of the Orange County Transportation Commission requested that the Council
decide tonight if they wish to proceed with the flyover project. She stated that the
Commission has invested over $8,000 for consultants to study this location. She indicated
that the demonstration project was begun at the request of the Council, and the Commission
determined that Valley View and Katella was an ideal location. Miss Mills stated that she
will report back to the Transportation Commission on February 23.

City Council Minutes February 9, 1987
Mayor Kanel asked if anyone wished to speak on this matter.
Mr. Bob Rizzie, 6268 Dalca Court, Cypress, stated that it was ludicrous and appalling to
consider a flyover at this location. He suggested that the plan was unfeasible since there
would be a traffic signal at Chip and another signal 3/10 of a mile away, and traffic would
speed over the bridge and then hit a bottleneck signal at Orangewood. He stated that Valley
View already has a speeding problem. Mr. Rizzie felt the flyover would not be aesthetically
pleasing or valuable to the Business Park or residents in south Cypress
Mr. David Webber, 11345 Culebra, Cypress, stated that he is concerned about noise,
especially the noise from trucks shifting gears on the bridge, and he would like to maintain a
quiet community.
Ms. Pam Bird, 6061 Barbados, Cypress, stated that she is very much opposed to the flyover.
She stated that children walk along Valley View to school and the high traffic speeds would
be unsafe for them. She expressed concern about noise and the unattractive appearance of
the flyover.
Mr. Walter Meers, 11374 Tortuga, Cypress, stated that he opposes the flyover. He reported
that he has spoken with many neighbors and none are in favor of the flyover and they are
opposed to the traffic and noise.
Mayor Kanel asked for a show of hands and there were approximately 25 people in the
audience indicating that they did not support the flyover.
Mayor Kanel reported on the City's involvement with the flyover project and indicated that
the Council wanted to investigate the feasibility of the project as a method to mitigate
traffic problems in the Business Park. He stated that although the Council is concerned
about the welfare of the community because of the traffic problems that may arise with
development of the Business Park, the Council is not trying to force acceptance of the
flyover project.
Mr. Rizzie suggested that the Council consider limiting growth in the Business Park by
reducing the height of buildings. He stated that the streets will not carry the load if all of
the proposed developments are built.
Mr. Nick Sinceri, 11423 Tortuga, Cypress, felt that the homeowners' desires should be
considered over those of the Council. He stated that the residents suddenly will be faced
with a cement wall and this will degrade their tract. He expressed concern over a proposed
access road adjacent to their tract that will be used for truck loading/unloading in the
Business Park and stated it will create noise for the residents. Mr. Sinceri expressed concern
about the fast growth in the Business Park and asked that the Council address that growth
and the other portions of the City that are deteriorating. He stated that he opposes the
flyover, he asked why the project didn't receive more exposure, and he suggested that
residents vote on the issue.
Councilman Mullen stated that he was excited about the prospects of the demonstration
project when it was initially discussed, but the opposition from the voters and property
owners has become obvious over the last few months. He stated that he did not support
continued consideration of the flyover because of the overwhelming opposition and lack of
support in the community and the concerns of the property owners, especially those at the
intersection. Councilman Mullen stated that the flyover alone would not solve all the traffic
problems and the loop street from Orangewood to Katella would still be necessary.
Councilman Mullen thanked Miss Mills and the Transportation Commission for their interest
and stated he regretted coming to the conclusion that technically and politically the flyover
is not a workable solution to Cypress' traffic problems.
Councilwoman Arnold stated that she agreed with Councilman Mullen's reasons and it is
imperative that any major traffic mitigation measures proposed in the future be discussed
with businesses and residents of the area.
Councilman Davis stated that he had concerns about whether the flyover would be functional
and do the job. He indicated that the success of the flyover was questionable without the
opening of Holder Street and extension of Walker.
Mayor Kanel stated that the Council would not have proceeded with the project without
getting input from the public and the property owners and the Council had good intentions in
studying the proposal. The Mayor stated that Councilman Coronado had indicated to him
that he basically did not support the way the flyover was to be developed.

City Council Minutes February 9, 1987
Miss Mills stated the the Commission did not want to proceed with a demonstration project
without support from the Council, surrounding property owners and residents. She requested
that the Council send a letter stating their position to the Chairman of the Commission.

CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF SOIL RECLAMATION AT THE CITY YARD
FUEL DISPENSING FACILITY - CITY OF CYPRESS PROJECT #8426-90: The Public Works
Director presented a report dated January 29 and indicated that Tony Maggio and Scott
Wilson of the consulting firm were present to answer questions.
Councilwoman Arnold indicated that the Council was concerned with the large investment
for the project and the lack of guarantees on whether it will be successful. She asked where
this process has been tried before.
Mr. Tony Maggio, 1019 Avenue A, Redondo Beach, representing Ground Water Technology,
reported that the feasibility study performed for this site showed that the sub-surface
conditions are good for this type of program to work. He stated that there is a shallow water
table, good soil, and it is a small area to deal with. Mr. Maggio stated that they cannot
guarantee the clean up level will be .7 parts/billion benzine which is a State Department of
Health Services action level which State regulation agencies know is an impossible level to
attain. He stated that Ground Water Technology proposes to take the soil and ground water
contamination levels down to extremely low levels. He indicated that they would end the
clean up operation when they reach a point of diminishing returns which they anticipate
should occur within six months to a year, and they hope at that time the Water Quality
Control Board will close the case. Mr. Maggio reported that the Board indicated it would
review the project on a cost versus benefit basis. He offered to show the Council a video
describing soil reclamation. Mr. Maggio stated that this would be the first site in California
-10-
316
City Council Minutes February 9, 1987
where bio-reclamation is used, and they have had great success with it in less favorable
conditions across the country. Responding to questions, he indicated that benzine is a
gasoline additive and it would be absent in the soil without the fuel spill. 1Vfr. Beardsley
indicated that the contamination level standard is set by the Water Quality Control Board
and is based on drinking water quality.
Mr. Scott Wilson, Manager of Bio-reclamation Services in the Western Region, stated that
the.7 parts/billion is a level that came about based upon the detection level for benzine and ~
that level is based upon the best available analytical technology. He stated that when a spill
occurs such as the one in Cypress, the best available technology for clean-up cannot match
that standard. Mr. Wilson indicated that bio-reclamation may be seen as the best clean-up
technology for water quality control in the future. He explained that current technology
treats only the water itself and when the purified water is put back into the ground it
becomes polluted again by the hydrocarbons on the soil and the water must be continually
recycled. With bio-reclamation, bacteria uses the hydrocarbons on the soil and removes the
contamination source.
Mr. Maggio recommended that the Council view the video on bio-reclamation.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Davis to approve the
recommendations in the staff report. Councilwoman Arnold stated that she would like to see
the video. Councilmembers Mullen and Davis withdrew the motion and second.
It was moved by Councilwoman Arnold and seconded by Councilman Davis to continue the
item to the February 23 meeting so that the Council may view the film. The motion
unanimously carried by the following roll call vote:

CABLECASTING CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS: Mr. Essex presented reports on this item
dated January 6 and February 3.
Councilmembers Mullen and Davis expressed support for the CATV Committee's .-
recommendations on cablecasting the Council meetings and the proposal to fund public
access programs. Councilwoman Arnold felt the Councilmembers' conduct at meetings
should be addressed before the meetings are televised. She stated that she did not oppose the
concept but she requested that the Committee explain the benefits of televising the
meetings. Councilwoman Arnold felt the funds might be better utilized by televising
classroom activities and educational information to students. Mayor Kanel stated that the
College and schools will have their own public access channels. He reported that Councilman
Coronado felt most people would not be interested in City Council meetings and he did not
support the plan to cablecast the meetings. Councilmembers Kanel, Mullen and Davis
indicated that they would support cablecasting the meetings live without any editing or
censorship. Councilwoman Arnold stated that she needed more clarification before she could
support the program.

Dr. Howard Martin, Chairman of the CATV Committee, stated that a portion of the franchise
fees are proposed to fund the public access programs and the funds would not be used for the

for governmental programs and the Council meetings would be the best thing that could be
shown on that channel to residents.
Councilman Mullen stated that some cities are cablecasting election results and candidates'
nights and many other things can be done if the equipment is in place.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Davis that the Council
proceed with cablecasting the City Council meetings. The motion unanimously carried by the

Item #32 - Continuation of Consideration of Potential Litigation Concerning
Employment.
CONSIDERATION OF DISCUSSION OF THE CLEANING AND DISMANTLING OF THE
TEXACO TANKS: Mr. Essex presented a report dated February 4 and a supplemental report
from the Planning Director dated February 6. He indicated that a key change in the
environmental review process is that Texaco wishes to evaluate the dismantling of the tanks
under their own environmental assessment. Texaco has been requested to submit an
environmental/project information form, a complete demolition plan, and a list of all
regulatory agencies that are required to review and approve the demolition plan, and staff
will present this information at the next meeting for an environmental determination by the
Council.
The Planning Director reported that Fieldstone would be responsible for the soil evaluation
under the full EIR. She indicated that review of the dismantling project would involve the
tops and sides of the tanks but would not include the bottoms of the tanks, the pipes or the
soil. She stated that after the EIR is completed, all impacts will be reviewed by the affected
agencies and all mitigation measures incorporated.
Councilman Mullen asked if the City could ensure removal of the foundations of the tanks in
the event that the project was unable to proceed after the tanks are dismantled. Mrs. Eynon
indicated that the City could consider having bonds posted for the removal or some type of
agreement.

City Council Minutes February 9, 1987
Responding to questions from Councilwoman Arnold, the Planning Director stated that
Texaco was considering a shortened document, not a separate EIR. She stated that the
problem with that is the City, and not Texaco, is the responsible agency and under CEQA the
City must look at the cumulative effect of a project and cannot ignore any issues. Mr. Essex
indicated that Texaco originally was asking for a Negative Declaration since they are anxious
to have the land cleared and turned over to Fieldstone but subsequently they have
compromised by agreeing to the separate review of the dismantling plan. He indicated that
this addresses Texaco's timeframe since the dismantling work should take about as long as -
the whole EIR process. Mrs. Eynon stated that Texaco understands the City must address all
issues through the EIR, and their only concern is the timing.
CONSIDERATION OF CATV SYSTEM COMPLAINT STATUS REPORT: The Assistant City
Manager presented a report dated February 3 which responded to Mr. Gritchen's complaints
about the cable service. Mr. Barrett reported that Mr. Gritchen realizes that not all of his
concerns can be redressed, but staff has worked out compromises with Copley Colony on how
they will operate which attempt to mitigate Mr. Gritchen's concerns. Mr. Barrett reported
that Mr. Gritchen has a large projection and sound system which highlight visual and audio
defects which are system-wide. He stated that Mr. Gritchen has a legitimate complaint
about the variance on satellite channels and problems include background noise, change in
audio levels, snow and wavy line distortion. These problems can be caused by the producer of
the program, like HBO, the satellite itself transmitting a poor quality picture, or there could
be local microwave transmission interference. Mr. Barrett stated that in all of these cases,
Copley can make some adjustments in the head end but it is burdensome to keep readjusting
their equipment and it will wear out prematurely. Mr. Barrett reported that staff is working
with Copley Colony to try to get technician service during after hours and weekends for
these type problems. Mr. Barrett stated that he will continue to work with Copley on these
issues and provide the Council with status reports, and he recommended that the matter be
received and filed.
Councilman Mullen supported staff's recommendation and asked that the item not be placed
on the agenda again unless requested by Mr. Gritchen.
The Council received and filed this item. >"
