Ms. Helen SChwab, 16055 Ventura Blvd., Ste. 1000, Enclno, was present representing the
appellant In the publiC employee dismissal matter to be considered during Closed
session. She advised that the hearing officer found that the extreme measure of
discharge was harsh and excessive given the employee'S 17 year history. She urged the
Council to reinstate the appellant but with a lesser suspension than that recommended

harsh and a 30 day suspension Is more than sufficient. She then brought up some
additional points In the matter and mentioned positive comments received from

Support or Opposition, Councilmember Carroll referred to the League of Cities request
to oppose SB 1066, expressing his disagreement with their position and Indicated a

The Administrative Services Director announced that the initial CATV Commission survey
of Public Access, Educational and Government (PEG! channels had been completed with
1,409 subscribers out of 8,403 responding. A complete report and analysis will be done
at a subsequent meeting.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: For Matters Not on the 7:30 P.M. Agenda
Ms. Teresa Ivins, 9527 Naples Drive, Cypress, suggested that the rules for a construction
project be established prior to the onset of the construction and made very clear to
contractors so the residents are not disturbed by equipment.
Ms. Kathy Simcox, 6143 Trinidad Avenue, Cypress, stated that more than 23 complaints
have been levied against the warehouse project, for violations of the conditional use
permit and the law. They continue to violate the CUP and she would like to see the CUP
revoked or looked at on the next agenda.
Mr. Don wesling, 11431 Anegada street, Cypress, followed up on the news clipping that
he presented to the Council at the last meeting. He referred to and read from various
sections In the Cypress City Code. He said the Business Park was not zoned for the Shaw
warehouse and a conditional use permit had to be issued.
Mrs. Susan creager, 4701 Ariano Drive, Cypress, told of her many volunteer activities and
she expressed her concern for the City. She said she had been forced to bring a lawsuit
against the City for the way she was treated when she was an employee. The City'S law
firm is costing the taxpayers money to get her to drop her lawsuit.
Ms. Paula English, 5975 Suva way, cypress, asked why the City'S janitorial contract was
not going to bid and If it is, why was an Individual told it was not. She then referred to
the Council meeting at which the Kid's Corner matter was brought up and discussion
was not permitted because there was mention of a lawsuit.
Mayor Age suggested that the individual who is interested in bidding on the janitorial
contract call the staff for further information on bidding.
The City Attorney clarified that a lawsuit was filed by Mrs. creager against the City of
Cypress. At the court hearing today, the judge threw out all Mrs. creager's causes of
action. Mrs. creager's attorney has requested amending the complaint and filing
another lawsuit with respect to this action. As of today, the City filed a motion for a
Judgment on the pleading for her cause of action and the judge granted it.
Mr. Jerry creager, 4701 Ariano Drive, Cypress, felt that the residents are extremely upset
with the Council. He read the legal opinion regarding the Sorrento Homes CC&Rs and
Sorrento Homes should not be granted special privileges. He believed CC&Rs clearly
state the conditions on satellite dishes and the Council is defaming the community by
not upholding the responsibilities of the CC&RS by passing it off to an association.
The City Attorney explained that the City government has no legal standing to enforce
CC&Rs.
Mrs. Regan smith, 6033 Trinidad Avenue, Cypress, commented that oral communications
are about the only opportunity citizens have to speak their mind because the City
newspaper is extremely biased. She referred to the writ of mandate initiated by the
City Clerk concerning the arguments against the advisory measures. The defendants
were requested to pay the City's attorneys fees and all associated costs and she viewed
this as nothing more than intimidation.
Ms. Gina Restivo, asked if there were specific criteria on the bidding of contracts. The
PUblic Works Director asked Ms. Restivo to call him or come into City Hall for an
explanation because the documents were quite extensive. The City Manager reported
that the existing policy is to encourage Cypress businesses to bid on contracts and
proposals are sent to the Chamber to solicit those qualified to bid.

Council member Carroll stated that he is a proponent of frequent publiC bidding on
contracts, It Is a safeguard to the City and he will do everything he can to see most of
these Items are sent out for competitive bids as often as practical.
Mr. Tony Smith, 6033 Trinidad Avenue, Cypress, asked why the Brlggeman Disposal
contract was not competitively bid. He expressed his concern to the Council about the
selective enforcement of laws In the City and referred to the violations of both City
ordinances and the conditional use permit In the Business Park for over six weeks. He
asked the Council to specifically Instruct the City Manager, the City Attorney and Chief
Wicker to Issue citations and fines for every violation that occurs from this date
forward.
The City Attorney explained that the Chief will cite for code violations. There Is one case
that will be pursued In municipal court as an infraction for a violation but he has to walt
for the complaints to come in before action is taken.
Council member carroll stated that the policy Is that the City Manager and/or Police Chief
execute the laws of the City and if that Is not being done, he would like to know Why.
The Police Chief reported the directive that Mr. Smith is seeking Is from the City
Manager and the Police Department Is strictly enforcing the law as It pertains to the
Warland site.
Ms. Kathy Shaw, 6533 Teakwood street, Cypress, asked if her taxes were paying for ali the
lawsuits and why couldn't they be settled within a reasonable periOd of time. The City
Attorney advised that the City does not have the control of how litigation goes and the
City Is the defendant and only reacts to the lawsuit. The City Clerk advised that he filed
a writ of mandate because the opponents of some of the measures on the ballot used
that opportunity to create language that was not appropriate to the arguments.
Mr. Bob pepper, 6273 Trinidad Avenue, Cypress, said that when they submitted their
arguments against the advisory measures, they talked with the City Attorney, the
Deputy City Clerk and agreed in advance to strike the words pertaining to recall. The
City wanted complete censorship, they went to court and asked that everything be
stricken.
The City Attorney reported that the court deleted several lines from the argument and
the court issues the writ of mandate. The City Clerk clarified that he has never had to
initiate a writ of mandate and go before a judge asking for clarification until this issue.
He is an officer of the state when it comes to holding elections and he is not going to
put fraudulent statements in a campaign or argument Issue and the writ was flied. For
the record, it was not a censorship, It was only a clarification of what needs to be
submitted.
Mayor Age advised that it was a public document and copies are available in City Hall If
the public wants to look at the arguments.
The City Manager announced that the Postmaster is here as directed by the Council to
address those Issues raised previously.
Mr. Brian BlaCk, 11382 Anegada street, Cypress, stated that basically the advisory
measures are meaningless and carry no weight to the citizens other than the fact that
the City Council is aSking the constituents what they want. He commented that all of
this wouldn't have been necessary if the Council had listened to the citizens.
Council member Bowman advised that the issue had been raised that the City Clerk was
paying for the permit and the return mall. He also advised that some time after he did
the mailing, he was accused of changing the permit and he asked the Postmaster to
clarify that.
Ms. Nancy Shank, postmaster, Cypress Post Office, stated that the permit was originally
taken out In the Cypress City Clerk's name with Council member Bowman's signature and
it did not come from City funds. After she had a conversation with the City Manager
and Council member Bowman, It was In the best Interest to put It under "Friends of
Walter K. Bowman." She then explained the process that the post office follows. If it
had been explained more thoroughly to her Business Reply Clerk, none of this would
have happened. The mail piece had to be designed one way, the application can be in
anYbody's name and the actual card says "Paid for by Citizens for Walter K. Bowman."

Responding to Mayor Age, the Postmaster said that the City Manager did not request
the permit, they did speak of a change on the telephone after she had talked with
Council member Bowman.
After additional questions and answers, the City Manager stated that he didn't believe
he should be obligated to write the postmaster saying he did not take out a permit
which was asked of him the first time he contacted the post office. An error was made
on the part of the post office. There is no reason to request a change of something he
never applied for; that Is the issue. The same issue that has been paraded before this
Council for the last two months.
The Postmaster stated after conversations with the City Clerk and Councilmember
Bowman, in order to set the record straight, she did change the permit for Cypress City C1 erk
to Friends of Walter K. Bowman. If they had all had the same understanding when
the permit was taken out, none of this would have happened. Council member
Bowman stated that according to his legal counsel, the postcard had to go to the City
Clerk and the permit was filled out exactly the way the clerk at the post office
Instructed him to fill It out.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: For Clarification of Matters on the 7:30 P.M. Agenda. No one
spoke.
RECESS: Mayor Age recessed the meeting at 8:50 p.m. and reconvened at 9:00 p.m. with
all Council members present.
CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: VARIANCE NO. 95-6. SATELLITE
DISH ANTENNA. 9847 RAVARI DRIVE. CYPRESS: This public hearing had been continued
from the meeting of AugUst 28, 1995 and the City Manager asked the community
Development Director to present the staff report dated september 6,1995. The Council
had continued this item in order to allow the applicants to acquire documentation from
a registered satellite dish installer attesting to the necessity for the subject satellite dish
antenna to be placed at the proposed location and height. Additional time was also
necessary to allow staff to research other satellite dish locations and any variances
granted. The letter from the installer stated that the proposed location was the only
choice which would allow the applicants to receive all stations with satisfactory signal
reception quality. Additional information comparing the subject site and other similar
satellite dish locations were provided at the Council meeting along with a slide
presentation of dishes in the immediate vicinity that have received variances. The
Community Development Director commented, for the record, that a citizen, Teresa
Ivins, was present earlier but unable to stay and wanted her concern voiced regarding
safety because of the height and size of the dish and the visibility.
Regarding Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations, the City Attorney
advised that traditionaliy cities would deny satellite dishes due to zoning criteria. The
FCC says that the local agencies will be given certain authority to regUlate satellite
dishes, but will preempt them from regUlating satellite dish antennas because that falis
within the realm of the FCC regulations. The City shall issue a variance if the applicant
can provide evidence that this is the only location to have the reception and the City
has no right to obstruct that reception. He read and explained each criteria for which a
variance shall be issued for an antenna, which are itemized in the staff report. After
additional discussion on cost, permits, location, height, reception, the applicants came
forward.
Council member Jones mentioned that she had reviewed the video recording of the
previous meeting on this issue.
Mrs. Ann Agajanlan, 9847 Ravari Drive, Cypress, stated that if the variance was not
granted, the dish would be relocated in the middle of the yard to meet City regulations
where it will be much more visible than It is now. Jerry Agajanian said that the pictures
of the dish were taken from the most conspicuous angle and It is difficult to see from
the street. If it is in the middle of the back yard, it would be lower but more
conspicuous.
No one wished to speak in favor of the project. The Mayor asked If anyone wished to
speak in opposition to the project.
Mr. Jerry creager, 4701 Ariano Drive, Cypress, stated that the applicants broke the law.
Their contractor violated the ordinances and the CC&Rs prohibit these satellite dishes.

He commented that Sorrento Homes, the City Council and the City's legal counsel need
to sit down and iron out an equitable situation on a document the people were led to
believe is valid. Landscaping will not solve the aesthetics problem created by the dish.
Mrs. Susan creager, 4701 Ariano Drive, Cypress, stated that there are alternatives to cable
TV and satellite dishes. It is the right of the neighbors not to have to look at those
dishes.
The applicant, Ann Agajanlan, spoke of the CC&Rs and the limitation placed on outside
antennas. She wanted television show choices and she has those choices with the
satellite dish.
Mr. Jerry Agajanian said that If the Council makes them move the diSh, it will be in a
much worse place than it is now.
Council member Bowman advised that no local jurisdiction can enforce the CC&RS. It Is a
matter between homeowners and the City cannot be Involved.
Councilmember Carroll stated that the satellite dish was erected without a permit; it
doesn't meet the five foot rule; it doesn't meet the 10 foot rule; It doesn't meet the 15
foot rule and It doesn't pass the good neighbor test. He would not vote to approve the
application.
Councilmember Kerry felt that there were some FCC questions unresolved and asked the
City Attorney's opinion. The City Attorney's recommendation, in light of testimony,
would be to have the councli direct him to review some issues, evaluate them and
return to Council.
Councilmember Carroli disagreed. Mayor Age advised that because of the height of the
satellite dish, she Is not in favor of the project and she agreed with Council member
Carroll.
It was moved by Council member Carroll and seconded by Council member Bowman to
close the public hearing and adopt a Resolution by title only, title as foliows, denying
the approval of Variance No. 95-6. Council member Bowman said that It Is Incumbent on
the homeowner to come into compliance and he believed the height was bad.
Councilmember Kerry commented that the aesthetic issue is very Important and If there
Is anything that can be done to evaluate aesthetic Issue more carefuliy, the City
Attorney be directed to do that.

AugUst 28,1995, which Indicated that the applicant had constructed a 36 inch deep Kol

september 11,1995
pond Is a body of water less than 24" in depth. Any body of water deeper than 24" is
considered a pool. Originally, permits were obtained for the landscaping Improvements
which included a patio cover, BBQ area and the Koi pond (no depth Indicated). During
an inspection for landscaping improvements, the building Inspector discovered the
discrepancy and Informed the apPlicant of the necessary corrections. In accordance
with the California Environmental Quality Act, a categorical Exemption will be filed for
this project. By being defined as a swimming pool, the pond now must comply with the
required setbacks for a swimming pool. The pond does not comply with the necessary
four foot setbacks for the rear and side. In this instance, it Is necessary that the
applicant demonstrate why the Koi pond need be 36" deep, thereby prOViding the
exceptional or extraordinary circumstance to justify a variance. Notices of the publiC
hearing for this project were posted, published and mailed to all owners of property
located within 300 feet of the subject parcel. TO date, staff has not received any

VARIANCE NO. 95-9. INSTALLATION OF A NEW SIGN AT THE LOS ALAMITOS RACE COURSE. 4961
KATELLA AVENUE: The public hearing was opened by Mayor Age. The City Manager asked
the Community Development Director to review the staff report dated August 22, 1995,
which represented a request to install a new 281 square foot red channel letter wall sign
at the main grandstand entrance of the Los Alamitos Race Course. Staff reviewed this
project for compliance with the speCific plan design guidelines and as proposed, the
sign exceeded the allowable square footage. The Design Review Committee received
the proposal and concluded upon their review, that the proposed sign is within the
scale of the structure and; therefore, would not detract from the attractiveness of the
structure. Additionally, due to the size and the scale of the site, there are exceptional
circumstances and a finding can be made to this effect. The sign, as proposed, does not
exceed the criteria of a sign not comprising more than 10% of the area upon which the

sign is located. However, at 281 square feet, the proposed wall sign exceeds the
allowable square footage by 126 square feet; therefore, a variance is required. In
accordance with the Environmental Quality Act, a categorical Exemption will be filed for
this project. Notice of the public hearing was mailed to property owners within a 300-
foot radius of the subject site. To date the Community Development Department has
not received oral or written comment.
Mr. Frank sabato, General Manager of LOS Alamitos Race course, 4961 Katella Avenue,
Cypress, said that they need the sign because with all the remodeling that Is occurring,
it would enhance the building.
No one spoke In support of or in opposition to the application.
It was moved by Councilmember Jones and seconded by Councllmember Bowman to
close the public hearing, direct staff to file a categorical Exemption and a finding of de
Minimis Exemption and adopt the Resolutions approving Design Review Committee

CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 95-1 AND ZONE
CHANGE NO. 95-1. 9737-61 WALKER STREET: The publiC hearing was opened by Mayor Age.
The Community Development Director presented the staff report dated August 22, 1995,
which indicated an application had been submitted for a General Plan Amendment and
Zone Change for 9737-61 Walker Street to change the General Plan land use designation
from General/Neighborhood Commercial to Medium Density Residential and to change
the zoning from Commercial General 10,000 to RM-15 Residential MUltiple-Family. Staff
had identified some issues that needed to be resolved relating to "spot zoning," prior to
any action being taken. Alternatives were provided as to how to resolve the spot
zoning issue and the Council Is requested to direct staff as to which alternatives they
want pursued relating to the resolution of this matter. Since the applicant did not file
for a preliminary review, but for a formal hearing, there is stili research that remains to
be completed on this request. The applicant has indicated a desire to build detached
condominiums on the property; however, the actual project would have to be heard at
a later date.
council member Bowman asked if notices of the public hearing were sent to property
owners within a 300-foot radius of the site and the community Development Director
replied In the affirmative. In addition, the applicant has met with the neighbors.
Mr. Mahendra Desai, representing C&A Homes, 1150 E. orangethorpe, #112, Placentia,
92670, advised that they have requested changing the zoning which would allow a
maximum of 15 dwelling units per acre. He mentioned the measures that they had
initiated on their own asking homeowners within 300 feet what kind of development
they preferred on that property. The preference was for multi-family residential. A
neighborhOod meeting was held, various development options, adequate guest parking
and set back requirements were also discussed. He showed and explained the color-
coded chart covering the area of orange Avenue to Ball Road.

Mayor Age asked If anyone wished to speak In favor of the project.
Ms. Allison Young, Cypress, was present representing Josephine Trautman and she read
Mrs. Trautman's statement. She has tried to sell the property for several years and this
is the second time she has had It in escrow with a developer. The likelihood of
commercial development on her property was in the distant future.
MS. Julie Brooks, Cypress, lives in back of Mrs. Trautman, and stated that she and some of
her neighbors would like to see the property zoned for residential.
Mayor Age asked if anyone wanted to speak in opposition to the application.
Mr. Rick Hubble, Hanover Drive, Cypress, said that he wasn't necessarily opposed to the
project, but presented some reservations that he and his neighbors had about the
project. There Is a very severe parking problem on Hanover now because the condos
across walker have limited parking. He urged the Council to carefully consider the long-
term effects of this project.
Mr. Desai addressed some of the issues that the homeowners had mentioned on parking
and the type of homes.
Council member Jones remarked that alternate uses for the property should be
reviewed and she felt they should be compatible with potential residential uses.
Councilmember Bowman suggested that the property owner to the north be included
as far any discussion of a specific plan and zone change or General Plan change.
Council member Kerry said that parking Is a valid concern and it has to be addressed.
After considerable discussion on a general plan amendment, zoning, zone changes and
speCific plan, It was moved by Council member carroll and seconded to Council member
Jones to continue the publiC hearing to October 10, 1995 and direct staff to pursue the
General Plan Amendment and Zone Change study and if Alternatives 1 and 3 are stili
viable, they pursue those also. Mr. Desai would be happy to work with staff, have
another neighborhood meeting if necessary and urged Council to expedite the project.
Councilmember Bowman explained to the applicant how the process would work and
the length of time it could take. Councllmember Kerry advised the applicant that the
adjacent property to the north had to be considered also. The motion unanimously

yard meeting area, garden and play area and to modifY the parking lot layout at an
existing church. The application also included a request to vary from Section 10.6.B of
the Cypress zoning Ordinance in order to allow a two foot height extension onto the
existing six foot high rear wall of the SUbject church. The proposed project has been
determined to be categorically Exempt, Class 3 and 4, in accordance with the California

climbing apparatus in the children's play area, the hours which the children'S play area
and forest chapel may be occupied and require screening trees. Notices of the public

11

september 11,1995
he would abstain on this item because he is a property owner within the 300 foot radius
and he left the dais during the public hearing.
Mr. Jerry Talley, president of the Cypress Evangelical Free Church, 6143 Ball Road,
Cypress, said they wanted to beautify their property as well as be good neighbors. He
felt that the primary Issue was with the area behind the church and he explained the
proposed plans. He expressed concern with Conditions NO.8, 10, 12 and 13 and asked
that the hours In 13 be extended.
Mayor Age asked if anyone wished to speak in favor of the project.
Ms. Caroline vogl, 9866 Joel Circle, Cypress, said she was disturbed by noise from the
church only once and asked them to close the back door. She asked that landscaping be
placed along the brick wall to Improve the aesthetiCS, which might also absorb some
sound.
MS. Bonnie Blount, a member of the church staff in charge of the children's programs,
said during the summer they had over 400 children In attendance. The children'S play
area Is small, utilized during a very limited time and supervised.
Mr. Bob saravia, 8152 Acacia street, Cypress, suggested that a high sound wall be built
between the church and the residences.
MS. Bev perrls, Garden Grove, a church member involved In planning the landscaping,
clarified that there will be plantings all along the forest chapel area, trees and shrubs
along the meditation garden and the children's play area.

to speak against the application.
Mr. Laurence Clive, 9884 Milton Circle, Cypress, stated that he whOlly concurred with Mr.
Bell's letter regarding the noise emanating from the church. He said that sunday
mornings are noisy also. He thought a building permit had to be taken out before any
work was done, but the fence was raised prior to any permits.
NO one else spoke.
Mr. Talley commented that they would like to utilize as much of the facility for as many
hours as they can. He asked the Council to seriously consider not limiting the days of
operation.
Council member Jones remarked that in view of the noise factor, Mr. Talley's request to
the reduce the size of the landscape trees or extending the hours of the play yard
couldn't be done.
Councilmember Kerry felt that 15 gallon trees were too small and will take five years
before there would be an effect in muffling the sound.
The Public Works Director asked the Council to give staff the discretion as to the type
and size of trees to be required for the landscaping.
It was moved by Councilmember Jones and seconded by Councilmember Carroll to close
the public hearing, direct staff to file a Notice of categorical Exemption, Class 3 and 4;

over nine years for repayment means about $500,000 to $1 million to Cypress Homes.
