Regarding Item No. 21, Auditor's Management Letter, Mayor Bowman asked if the
Finance Director has always been involved in making investments. The Finance Director
stated that he does review the investments and then signs off on the investment report,
which represents approval. The Auditors had suggested that the Finance Director approve
the investment made by the Treasurer at the time it is made so he is aware of that
investment immediately.

CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT NO. 76-11 (USE OF EIGHT PARKING SPACES FOR RECREATIONAL
ACTIVITIES AT GRACE COMMUNITY CHURCH OF CYPRESS, 4421 CERRITOS
AVENUE): Mayor Bowman opened the public hearing. The City Manager asked the
Planning Director to present the staff report dated January 18, 1991, which represented a
request to allow the use of eight designated parking spaces of an existing church parking
lot at 4421 Cerritos Avenue for occasional youth recreation activities. In accordance with
the California Environmental Quality Act, a Categorical Exemption will be filed for this
project. Notices of this public hearing were posted, published and mailed to the property
owners within a 300 foot radius of the subject property. To date, staff has not received
additional comments regarding this matter since the notices were distributed. The
previous complainants indicated they will present their comments to the City Council
during the public hearing. She stated that the Planning Department has received
complaints off and on about the noise emanating from the games that are played outside
and this was taken into consideration when a recommendation was made on the
application.
Mr. Gordon French, President of the Board of Grace Community Church, 3466 Val Verde
Avenue, Long Beach, stated he represented the church and they are making application
for the occasional use of a portion of the existing parking lot for outside youth activities.
He stated that they feel the program benefits the community, apologized for any
inconvenience it may have caused the neighbors and they will continue to attempt to
resolve the issue with the neighbors should the Council approve the application.
Responding to Councilmember Age's question about meeting with the neighbors, Mr.
French answered that the Pastor had met with the neighbors directly and then the elders
wrote a letter to three of the neighbors inviting them to a meeting to discuss the situation.
Mayor Bowman asked if anyone wished to speak in favor of the application.
Mr. Ed Crossett, Director of Christian Education, 5677 Nelson Street, Cypress, stated that
he is responsible for the programming and implementation of the AWANA activities. He
described the types and the importance of the progrars and the importance of those
programs to the community. He provided some photos of the AWANA activities for the
Council to view.
Pastor Jack Ostermann, 4465 Hazelnut Avenue, Seal Beach, expressed his regrets that the
neighbors have been inconvenienced and offended by the noise from the outdoor
activities. He felt that the church could have made a better effort in the past few years
to work with the neighbors. He stated that he did make an effort to meet with them to
discuss the program and to attempt to work out a mutually agreeable arrangement but the
offer was declined. He expressed confidence that the Council would vote affirmatively
for the amendment but the amendment is going to restrict them. From his perspective,
7
r~~
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES January 28, 1991 1
they are looking at the few versus the many and his feeling is that the many should
dictate the ultimate decision of the Council.
Mr. Ted Hill, 10001 St. Vincent Circle, Cypress, spoke on behalf of the church and the
outdoor recreational activities.
Reverend Gene Gertsen, AWANA Missionary for Southern California, stated that he
worked with over SO churches in Orange County and the same amount in San Diego and
Riverside as well. He provided additional statistics and information on the AWANA
programs in the Southern California area. He stated that this was the first time a
concern of this nature has arisen.
Mr. Mark Wakefield, 4861 Lincoln Avenue, Cypress, spoke as a representative of his
friends from Grace Community Church and in support of the AWANA program.
Councilmember Age clarified that they are not disputing the program, there is a problem
with neighbors and noise and it needs to be resolved.
Mr. Bob Coblitz, 6249 Granada Avenue, Cypress, stated that the games are very important
to the AWANA program and suggested that perhaps the games be conducted first to
alleviate some of the noise problem.
Ms. Charlotte Sutherland, 8231 Summerdale Lane, La Palma, stated that her children
attend the AWANA program and spoke of the importance of the outdoor activity to her
children.
Mayor Bowman asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition to the application.
Ms. Barbara Howell, 4452 Patricia Drive, Cypress, stated that the neighbors started
complaining officially in 1990 because she didn't know she had the right to complain.
She mentioned the peculiar sound effects of that cul-de-sac and how the noise
reverberates off the buildings. She stated she was not against religion, she was against
religious activities in an outdoor parking lot belonging to a church.
Ms. Jan Callaway, 4422 Patricia Drive, Cypress, stated she lives directly behind the
church and the reason they hadn't complained before is because they didn't realize they
had a right to complain. She had contacted the church and the pastor and youth director
came over and she had asked them to keep the noise down and they haven't. It is a
matter of noise and the activities are located in an inappropriate place.
Mr. Sam Snyder, 4442 Patricia Drive, Cypress, commented that he concurred with the
statements made previously by his neighbors. This situation has been going on for some
time and so far the church hasn't done what they said they were going to do.
Ms. Cindy Warren, 10413 Cary Circle, Cypress, stated that she lives down the street and
she cares about her neighbors. She is the first one to say let the kids play, a little noise
isn't going to hurt anybody but when it goes on continually and neighbors try to work
with the church and the church ignores their concerns, then it needs to be brought before
the City Council. She believed a time constraint should be placed on the outdoor activity.
No one else wished to speak in support of or in opposition to the applications.
Mr. French remarked that he found it difficult to accept the fact that the church has not
attempted to cooperate, he does take exception to that and he has not been contacted by
any of the neighbors. They stand ready to meet with the neighbors in an attempt to
resolve the problems. He suggested that a sound level study be made to indicate whether
they are exceeding the noise level.
Responding to Councilmember Partin, the City Attorney answered that the City's Noise
Ordinance is designed for an ongoing operational or industrial noise situation rather than
playground activity.
Councilmember Kerry commented that the AWANA program is wonderful but how does
the program continue without bothering the neighbors. She suggested that the church
might use the parking area in the Business Park across the street for their outdoor
activities.
Mr. French responded that that is a consideration and a possibility they have not
explored.
Councilmember Age restated that no one is questioning the church or its teachings. The
hours that the activities are held are not conducive to the neighborhood and the one thing
a church should do is teach respect and love for neighbors. She suggested that the permit
be denied without prejudice, which means the applicant can return to Council when a
satisfactory solution is reached with the neighbors.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES January 28, 1991
Councilmember Nicholson stated that this is a situation that shouldn't have come before
Council. Of two neighbors, one became a bad neighbor and unfortunately that was the
church and a lot of that responsibility lies on the pastor's shoulders. She asked that the
church meet with the neighbors and resolve the problem.
Councilmember Kerry remarked that she believed the church was aware of a need to
amend their permit. What is needed is to meet with the neighbors, resolve this problem
satisfactorily and there is no choice but to stop the activity in the parking lot at this
time.
Councilmember Partin commented that this activity is not working within the
neighborhood; therefore, until something can be done to change it, the neighbors wishes
must be respected and the church must make some additional effort to keep this program
going.
Mayor Bowman stated that previous comments from the other Councilmembers
summarized his feelings.
It was moved by Councilmember Age and seconded by Councilmember Nicholson to close

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES January 28, 1991
Ms. Lois Bobak, Assistant City Attorney, advised that a number of representatives from
the City and respective County agencies are present to testify and she introduced those
representatives.
Ms. Katherine Twork, former contract Code Enforcement Officer for the City of Cypress,
stated that she conducted several investigations and inspections on the property on
various dates and found flies, smell of urine, fecal matter, observed numerous code
violations, kennel runs thrown together, stagnant water and backed up sewer systems. She
presented several photos of the premises for Council review.
Lt. Michelle Farrace, Orange County Animal Control, reported that the owner had been
issued 11 citations for unlawful exotic animals, operating a kennel without a license and
dog vaccinations required. Three notices to comply to take animals to a veterinarian for
various aliments; five follow-up inspections to comply for fly and sewage problems until
her license was denied. Kipperdale was denied a license on February 1, 1990 and after
that date, citations were issued on subsequent visits. Lt. Farrace listed her observations
of the condition of the kennels and the property on her visits.
Sgt. Sandy Stanton, Cypress Police Department, explained her contact with the kennels
and her visits there were. to keep the peace while the other agencies inspected the
premises. She stated that she concurred with the conditions as stated by the previous
testimony, the smell was overwhelming and her uniform was inundated with fleas and
odors.
Mr. Tom Ahrens, Supervising Environmental Health Specialist with Orange County, spoke
of his visits in October and November 1990 to Kipperdale Kennel and reported on his
findings. He observed pooled human waste on the ground behind the property, numerous
piles of animal feces, pooled urine in and around the kennels, a bootlegged sewage
conveyance system around the kennels into a collection sump. There would be areas of
the apparent drying of liquid waste, troughs full of pooled urine and fecal material. The
deck on which the kennels were located had a series of deck drains inside of which fecal
material was floating on stagnant water. The stench was incredible and he observed flies
throughout the facility, rodent activity, maggots under trash bags and trash bags of fecal
material.
Ms. Susan Knight, Environmental Health Specialist for the County of Orange and the
Deputy Health Officer for the City of Cypress, advised that her inspections coincided
with those of Mr. Ahrens. On October 11, she concurred with what Mr. Ahrens had
observed and added that she observed numerous items in the front yard of 8321 Denni
Street such as mattresses, weight lifting set, strollers and between the houses was
discarded lumber, wooden boxes. In the front yard on both dates, she observed full trash
cans and told of the stench and flies emanating from the property.
Mr. Ellwyn Brickson, Orange County Noise Control Specialist, under contract to the City
of Cypress for noise control, provided some background information on the kennels from
1983. Noise measurements were made and citations were issued. There were six noise
violations prior to the construction of the wall and three afterwards in areas not
protected by the wall. He stated that he has handled various kennels throughout the
County and this is the first time he has experienced this lack of cooperation with the
consistent noise violations.
Ms. Holly Hamlin, Associate Planner for the City of Cypress, explained what the actual
zoning and conditional use permit allowed on the property and the zoning permit
grandfathered in from the County is not in complete compliance with the original use
permit.
Ms. Bobak noted that Ms. Hamlin did mention what was permitted on the site under the
original use permit, which is the subject of the next public hearing but relevant to this
one inasmuch as a violation of the use permit in and of itself constitutes a public
nuisance.
Det. Solorza, City of Cypress Police Department, mentioned that there is an ongoing
investigation of the kennel but the District Attorney does not want details of the case
revealed. They are investigating the death of a pet of one of the customers, death of one
of Mrs. Nielsen's animals and alleged cruelty/neglect to several other animals.
Mayor Bowman asked the applicant to step forward.
Mrs. Norma Nielson, owner of Kipperdale Kennels, 8331 Denni Street, Cypress,
commented on the importance of retaining Kipperdale as a functioning business in the
community. She stated that many famous animal organizations have used her kennel over
the years to bring abandoned animals. She told about the harassment and false
accusations she has endured. She stated that all sewage problems on her property have
been caused by the City's failure to maintain their lines and she has receipts and
cancelled checks showing what she has spent on plumbing repairs.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES January 28, 1991
After some discussion, the Planning Director clarified that the conditional use permit for
a commercial kennel is for show dogs only and the non-commercial kennel is for the care
of the owner's show dogs.
Ms. Maggie Daglas, 5728 Pine Court, Cypress, real estate agent for the property, stated
that they have asked the Planning Department how to advertise the property and she has
referred real estate calls to the City to .determine how many dogs are allowed on the
property.
Mrs. Nielsen responded to questions from Councilmembers and Councilmember Kerry
asked her if she had the plumbing cleared and she responded in the affirmative. The
Acting Public Works Director explained that a four inch line would be adequate for most
commercial uses; however, for a kennel a four inch line would only be adequate if there
were auxiliary pumping systems working in conjunction with the line. In all cases sewer
lines from businesses or residences leading into the street is the responsibility of the
property owner.
The applicant was given an opportunity to view the pictures of the property so she could
answer additional questions from Council.
The City Attorney advised, for the record, that the public hearing has been open since
staff testified, and is now open for others who wish to testify.
Mayor Bowman asked if anyone wished to speak in support of the appeal.
Mr. Angelo Daglas, 5728 Pine Court, Cypress, expressed his concern with the way
everyone is attacking Kipperdale Kennels. Ms. Nielson has done everything she can to
take care of the problems and she is now in the process of selling her property.
Ms. Eileen Gilbert, 2992 Silverwood Drive, Rossmoor, stated that she has known Ms.
Nielson for quite a while as she does animal rescue. Ms. Nielson never turns down an
animal for boarding and the animals are very well fed.
Responding to questions from Council, Ms. Gilbert clarified that she rescues animals but
is not with any organized rescue group.
Ms. Carol Haas, 7315 Rood Street, Paramount, stated that she also rescues animals but she
is not with any organized rescue group and she helps Ms. Nielsen with the rescue dogs.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition to the appeal.
Mr. Ben Walters, 4451 Crescent Avenue, Cypress, commented that there probably has been
adequate testimony as to the kennel nuisance. He suggested that the number of dogs kept
in that confined area consists animal cruelty and Kipperdale is an animal concentration
camp. As an animal lover, he urged the Council to close t}ie kennel.
Mr. Floyd Osborne, 8472 Denni Street, Cypress, stated he agreed with all of Mr. Walters'
comments. Kipperdale Kennels is a blight in the area. The establishment has been
cleaned up somewhat in the last few months, but the stench, noise and blight are still
there.
Ms. Joyce Mullen, 8341 Denni Street, Cypress, stated she lives next door to the kennel and
sees no reason for Kipperdale Kennels to remain in business. The stench is unbearable,
there are many personal problems in the home, police officers around all the time and she
wants something done about it because it is not a healthy situation.
Ms. Michelle Thomas, 8242 Fontainbleau Way, Cypress, advised that she is six houses
north of the kennels. It is a disgusting place, trashy and drags the whole neighborhood
down.
Ms. Sherylyn Huerta, 4671 Dana Drive, La Palma, reported that she took her dog to
Kipperdale Kennels to be groomed, when she picked her up she was limping very badly.
Ms. Huerta took the dog to the veterinarian, who performed surgery on her back and
after two surgeries, she died.
Ms. Janie West, 8142 Fontainbleau Way, Cypress, advised that the neighborhood was very
unhappy when kennels were allowed without consulting the present residents. The
kennels are a nuisance, noisy, malodorous and cluttered.
No one else wished to speak in support or in opposition to the appeal.
The Assistant City Attorney asked if the applicant desired to provide rebuttal to the
testimony.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES January 28, 1991
Ms. Nielson addressed the pictures and noted that those pictures were taken before the
sewage problem was rectified and responded to questions from Councilmembers.
After some discussion, the City Attorney advised that even though this is a joint meeting,
Council is dealing with the public nuisance now. There is no license involved because
they have not been renewed. The use permit is still in existence but up for
reconsideration tonight.
Ms. Daglas stated that she didn't understand what had not been rectified on the property
and almost all of the items listed in the public nuisance notice had been abated.
The City Attorney commented that anything that has been cleaned up since the last visit
would be in compliance but any items not taken care of would have to be addressed
within the 14 day period.
The Assistant City Attorney, Lois Bobak, and representatives from the various agencies
responded to specific questions and comments that had been raised by the applicant.
Councilmember Nicholson stated that she drove by the property and saw overwhelming
evidence that these conditions have existed for some time. The testimony is irrefutable
that it is a problem and has been a problem over many years.
Councilmember Age stated that pictures speak a thousand words and there has been abuse
on that property for some time. She concurred that the property is a public nuisance, the
trash, the lack of storage, the fecal material, the lack of landscaping, inadequate and
unsanitary sewage conditions, stagnant water, the debris and junk in the yard and the
inoperable motor home. She questioned the lack of care to animals, no valid license or
permit to run the kennel, the fleas, flies, rodents and the illegal animals that have been
found there three times. Something is owed to the neighbors and she doesn't know how
they've put up with it this long. She stated she would vote to deny the appeal.
Councilmember Kerry added to Councilmember Age's statement and mentioned that Mrs.
Nielson was fully aware there was a problem on her property when an inventory of
animals revealed 92 dogs, 14 cats, 5 rabbis, 7 guinea pigs, 20 birds, 3 ferrets and 3
tortoises. Having ferrets confiscated three times is an example of someone not paying
attention to the laws. She stated that she has no choice at this time but to deny the
appeal.
Councilmember Partin remarked that he believed the lady has a good heart, the dogs have
been rescued, but this operation has existed in the City long enough and the nuisance
needs to be abated. He stated he would vote to deny the appeal.
Mayor Bowman stated everyone has heard the testimony and it appeared that everyone
has drawn the same conclusion.
It was moved by Councilmember Kerry and seconded by Councilmember Age to close the
public hearing, deny the appeal and authorize the City Attorney to seek a court order
directing the property owner, Mrs. Nielson to immediately abate the nuisance within the
time limits allowed. The motion unanimously carried by the following roll call vote:
AYES: 5 COUNCILMEMBERS: Age, Kerry, Nicholson, Partin and Bowman
NOES: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None
ABSENT: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None
It was moved by Councilmember Kerry and seconded by Councilmember Age to continue

Regarding Reconsideration of Use Permit Certificate No. 3373 and Use Permit Certificate
No. 3048 - Kipperdale Kennels, the Planning Director advised that the staff report dated
January 21, 1991 was introduced into the record at the public nuisance hearing and she
recommended that the City Council revoke the use permit certificate No. 3373 and use
permit certificate No. 3048.
The Mayor stated this is a public hearing and he reminded everyone that they are still
under oath.
In response to Mrs. Nielson's question, the City Attorney answered that she had 14 days
under the ordinance to remove the excess animals from the property and an extension of
time may be granted.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES January 28, 1991
The Planning Director recommended that the item be broken into two areas: the public
nuisance which would require 25 dogs per property within the 14 days and then the
Council determine when the remaining dogs have to be removed depending on whether
the use permits are revoked.
Mayor Bowman asked if anyone wished to speak in support of or in opposition to
reconsideration of the certificates.
Mr. Ben Walters pointed out that the applicant already has shown that she doesn't care
what the Council does; if Council doesn't take measures to close the kennels, the nuisance
will still be there. w
Mrs. Nielson stated that she is basically asking for time to move the dogs and felt she
needed 90 days.
No one else wished to speak in support of or opposition to the use permits.
After some discussion on conditional use permits, Councilmember Kerry stated that she
didn't have a problem with allowing a period of time for Mrs. Nielson to remove the
animals and suggested 60 days in addition to the 14 abatement days and the conditional
use permits to be revoked without prejudice to allow someone else to come in.
It was moved by Councilmember Partin and seconded by Councilmember Age to close the
public hearing, revoke Use Permit Certificate No. 3373 and Use Permit No. 3048 with the
condition at the end of the 14 day nuisance abatement period an additional 60 days will
be allowed to comply with the household pet code of the City of Cypress. The City
Attorney clarified that the motion revoked the conditional use permits, a 14 day period to
be in compliance to 50 dogs under the public nuisance and then an additional 60 days to
remove the remainder of the animals. The motion unanimously carried by the following
