CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
NO. 88-29. CELLULAR TELEPHONE FACILITY. 5351 LINCOLN AVENUE: Mayor Davis
declared the public hearing open. The City Manager referred to the staff
reports dated December 6, 1988 and January 3, 1989, which represented a
request for a cellular phone facility that the City Council had continued so
the applicant could review the proposed placement of the monopole on Lincoln
Avenue and return to staff with alternative sites for the monopole; however,
no further information has been received at the staff level from the
applicant.
Mr. Jerome Buckmelter, L. A. Cellular Telephone Company, 23534 Aetna Street,
Woodland Hills, stated that L. A. Cellular did look for other sites for the
facility in response to the Council's instructions and did not find a property
7

City Council Hinutes January 9, 1~3
available. He commented that his company suggested he return and exhaust the
possibilities of the present proposal. He further explained the layout and
design of the proposed facility on the property. He also presented
photographs of views of the site from various locations on Lincoln Avenue.
Councilmember Kanel asked what was the cost of the facility and Hr. Buckmelter
responded that it was in excess of $1 million, the majority of the dollars
being invested in electronic equipment.
After further discussion, Councilmember Kanel mentioned the conceivability of
this property being in redevelopment and if that should happen, the Agency
would be buying parcels and a possible $1 million liability for the City.
Hayor Davis stated that the major issue is the height of the pole and that has
been the concern.
Mr. Buckmelter advised that the pole may be shortened in the future as the
usage of cellular phones becomes more common and stated he would agree to a
condition that would require shortening the pole.
Councilmember Kanel stated he would be willing to consider this application,
but is concerned about the potential future liability and does not feel that
the Redevelopment Agency should have to pursue a buyout of $1 million.
After some discussion, Mayor Davis advised that there definitely will be
property improvements made on Lincoln Avenue.
Councilmember Arnold stated her concern was that a number of applicants along
Lincoln Avenue have been denied the use of pole signs over the last few years
because the City is trying to improve the street and the goal is to reduce the
sign size and lower them.
Mr. Andrew Lachina, an attorney representing Mr. Berwick, the property owner,
advised the Council that there is a provision in the lease which provides for
the relocation of the facility if the owner wished to develop the property.
No one wished to speak in support of or opposition to the application.
Councilmember Kerry expressed some concern about the lack of lot depth, the
possibility of changes on this portion of Lincoln Avenue, but there are
possibilities and she would have difficulty denying the application.
Councilmember Age stated that there has to be some alternative site for this
project, is not convinced that this is the site for the pole and the
possibility of redevelopment of that area must be addressed.
Councilmember Arnold expressed her concern about the entire project, would
like L.A. Cellular to search for another site and is uncomfortable considering
approving a project this close to Lincoln. She stated she supported L. A.
Cellular in their endeavors and has heard excellent reports on them.
Mayor Davis stated that his objection was not the pole, but it was the
proposed location of the pole and the City is working on Lincoln Avenue to
make improvements. He further stated there have been problems and concerns
with signage in an effort to improve the street and he does not support this
application.
Councilmember Kanel indicated he could support this application only on the
basis there was a compromise on the utilization of the potential redevelopment
and felt there was a form of liability buyout to the City.
It was moved by Councilmember Age and seconded by Councilmember Arnold to
close the public hearing and deny Conditional Use Permit No. 88-29.
Councilmember Kanel stated he will abide with the majority opinion of the
Council even though he has reservations and would have desired some
compromise. Councilmember Kerry concurred. The motion unanimously carried by
the following roll call vote:

RECESS: Mayor Davis called a recess at 9:28 p.m. and reconvened the meeting
at 9:35 p.m. with all Councilmembers present.
CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
NO. 88-32. TEN APARTMENT UNITS. INCLUDING TWO DENSITY BONUS UNITS. 5462 DELONG
STREET: Mayor Davis opened the public hearing. The staff reports dated
December 5, 1988 and January 3, 1989 represented a request to develop ten
apartment units, including two density bonus units at 5461 DeLong Street.
This item had been continued from the meeting of December 12, 1988 to be JIIi!""~~;
considered with the zone change petitions.
Councilman Kanel asked if any attempt had been made to have the access on
Walker Street instead of DeLong Street because there have been citizens at the
previous meetings who are upset about the DeLong Street access. The Public
Works Director responded that from a traffic safety point it is safer to have
the access on Delong Street.
After further discussion, the City Manager stated that the access point has
been presented on both streets and from a traffic safety standpoint, DeLong
Street would be the logical access street but it doesn't preclude a plan with
the access point off Walker Street.
Councilmember Kerry perceived more problems with the driveway on DeLong from
vehicles turning off Walker Street at a moderate rate of speed thereby
creating a potential accident problem. She stated a Walker Street access
might be better because it is more visible.
Mr. Bob Gilbert. Gilbert Engineering, 4552 Lincoln Avenue, Cypress.
representing the developer, advised that he understood the Council's concerns,
had designed the project with the access off DeLong Street for traffic safety
and the project works the same with access on Walker Street. He advised
against Walker Street because of the number of access points already there, it
is a through street and has faster traffic than DeLong Street.
No one spoke in support of the application.
Mayor Davis asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition to the project.
Mr. Barry Cannata, 5331 DeLong Street, Cypress, discussed the traffic and
parking situations on Walker and DeLong Streets. He noted that there is no
place in the project for children to play, lack of parking space, lack of an
adequate sewer system, and does not feel comfortable with the project. He
stated that if the project were smaller, it would make the project more
acceptable but as it is, he believed it to be a detriment to the neighborhood.
Ms. Susan Ver Steeg, 5352 DeLong Street, Cypress, stated her objections to the
project were basically the same and, additionally, the enclosed garages might
be used for storage and therefore add to the existing parking problems on
DeLong Street.
Mr. Manny Machado. 5432 DeLong Street, Cypress, expressed his objection to the
location of the access point on DeLong Street and would prefer it be placed on
Wa Her Street.
Mr. Edward Endo, 5301 DeLong Street, Cypress, stated his concern about the
safety of the access point and potential parking problems associated with the
project.
Mr. Robert Brandon, 5261 DeLong Street, Cypress, advised that studies have
indicated that it is more feasible to provide an exit onto a busy street
rather than a short, narrow street and asked the Council to consider placing
the access point on Walker Street.
Councilmember Arnold commented that she supported what staff has recommended
which is the placement the driveway on DeLong Street as the safest access
point.

has no problem with the complex itself and recommended that the staff study
traffic measures.

more serious accidents occurs.

possibility of making the exit onto DeLong Street safer and if a Walker Street
exit was put near the intersection, she would vote "no." Councilmember Kerry

After some discussion, the City Manager explained that the Council would be
determining that this is a similar use to those already allowed in the PS
zone.

school district used for other than school district purposes and a better use
for that property other than to store vehicles could be found.
Councilmember Kerry stated her opposition to the idea of considering
recreational vehicle storage in public/semi-public zones because it does open
an avenue for everybody to apply. She further stated that even allowing to
submit an application is stretching the code beyond acceptability.
