In regard to Item No. 12, summary Vacation of Excess Street Right of way along the
North Side of orangewood Avenue from valley View Street to West City Limits, Mayor
Partin asked if it meant that Orangewood Avenue would never be widened. The Public
Works Director explained that the original plan was Orangewood would be 80 feet with
an access off orangewood Avenue onto the warland property. A 64 foot wide street
would be sufficient and would allow building setbacks to be adjusted. Councilmember
Age said she wanted it off the Agenda because it was premature to vote on it now. A
vote to approve assumes that the Warland project will pass tonight and she didn't want
to make that assumption until after the Warland project is voted upon.

Thompson went through the plan and explained what would be included in the Phase I
and Phase II buildings of the project, the landscaping, fencing and parking.
Mr. Don Larimer, Regional Manager for Shaw Industries, stated he was prepared to
answer any Questions from the Council. Shaw Industries is the world's largest carpet
manufacturer and the new facility will serve as a distribution center. He then explained
the operations of the facility, truck traffic and hours of operation.
There followed a Question and answer period between Mr. Larimer and the Council on
specific details of the operation of the proposed facility.
The Public Works Director, addressing the traffic Issue, stated that the original project
approved for this site would have generated 5,000 vehicle trips per day. The proposed
project will have a total of 900 vehicle trips per day.

further explained the majority of the truck traffic would occur during the day. He also
described the landscaping and the completion of orangewood Avenue.

Mr. Greg Shoop, 11663 Manila Dr., cypress, stated that he had many Questions on the
project beginning with the public hearing notice and nothing in it stated it would be a
carpet distribution warehouse. He complained about the lack of detail in the staff

tightened. He mentioned the size and type of trees and asked that the trees be a mix
of 24", 36" and 48" box trees. He recommended that the loading doors have a rubber
gasket that comes around the truck and he would prefer a 10 or 12 foot screening wall.
Mr. Larry Matson, 6455 san Andres Avenue, Cypress, had four points: the noticing, using
recycled water for Irrigation, asked about Input from the Armed Forces Reserve Center
and the proposed traffic signal in close proximity to orangewood and valley View
Streets.
Mr. Ted courtney, 11534 Manila Drive, Cypress, stated he was upset with the approved
project in 1990, with unlimited access from orangewood and he was in favor of having
one tenant as opposed to 20 or 30. He asked if a sign could be posted restricting trucks
at the head of orangewood Avenue.
Mayor Partin asked If anyone wished to speak in opposition to the project.
Ms. Ingrid Kline, 6163 Trinidad Avenue, cypress, said she had gathered over 200
signatures on a petition and she presented them to the Council. She also said the
residents were not adequately notified.
Mr. Tom Knopp, 11654 Manila Drive, Cypress, complained that the monolith structure
would block his view of the mountains completely and he could better accept the
previously proposed development. The truck traffic really concerned him.
Mr. Bruce Kelsey, 11674 Blackmer street, cypress, remarked that it wasn't the
development of the property that he objected to; It was the distribution feature that
brings tractor-trailers In at all hours.
Mrs. Kathy Simcox, 6143 Trinidad Avenue, cypress, asked several Questions, including why
the 1990 project was never built.
Councllmember Bowman suggested that the residents ask all their Questions and then
they will be answered by the applicant.
Mrs. Simcox continued with the statement that people have not been notified. She
visited another Warland project, spoke with several Council members and the Warland
developers. She did not have anything against Shaw, she just objected to the facility
being in her neighborhood.
Mrs. Ellen Kippel, 11664 Blackmer street, Cypress, mentioned that when they were
planning the previous project, the orangewood access was taken out of the plan and
she was assured that there would not be a light at orangewood Avenue and valley View
street. She stated that the trucks should use Katella Avenue and not Valley View Street.
Mr. Mike Leitao, 11500 Cozumel Street, cypress, stated he had many concerns and
objections to the project. He believed the building to be a losing proposition to all City
residents. He mentioned the fumes, the trucks traffic shaking the homes, and asked
how often the drivers are tested for drugs.
Mrs. JUlie Herkins, 5803 Lakia Drive, Cypress, asked if the berm would be finished to
Phase II, how long before Phase II would be built, and if the trucks parked in the
warehouse. She expressed concern about the road around the facility and if it was a
fire lane or for parking. She had Questions on carpet and diesel fumes, the berm,
landscaping and security on the premises.
Mr. Willis swanstrom, 5772 Lakia Drive, cypress, asked whether the trucks were
independent or company-owned and where the drivers went after they dropped the
trailer.
Mr. Dave Simcox, 6143 Trinidad Avenue, cypress, asked the Council to do some
investigation before they made a decision about this facility tonight.
Mr. David Greenberg, 11354 Jamaica street, Cypress, spoke about the worsening traffic
situation at the intersection of Katella Avenue and valley View street and he could only
see the traffic situation becoming much worse with this project. In some ways, more
car traffic is better accepted than truck traffic.

Mr. Kent Woods, 5733 Lakla Drive, Cypress, remarked that he was aware of all the
commercial space and knew some day it would be developed and the truck traffic
would appear to be less than the car traffic from the previous proposed development.
He Questioned the many promises made that might not be fulfilled. He asked if the
building will remain strictly a warehouse and he stated that the screening around the
loading docks should be mandatory if the project is approved. There are many areas of
concern and the residents know something Is going to go in there, but It appeared that
there is so much deception.
Mr. Don Wesling, 11431 Anegada street, Cypress, reported that his house does shake
when a semi truck drives by. He also expressed a concern about carpet fibers.
Mr. Ron Coffeen, 6360 Dominica Avenue, cypress, asked if the trucks would be refueling
at this facility and was concerned about the FAA examining the buildings. He specifically
requested that the hours of operation be limited to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. He didn't feel that
this warehouse met the intent of a business park.
Mr. Richard Brodowski, 11520 Cozumel street, Cypress, asked when the baseline point
was passed when no more vehicles could be tolerated and If the number of accidents at
the corner of orangewood Avenue and valley View street were studied.
Mr. steven Bradley, 5442 Oxford Drive, cypress, made some comments on the size of the
building, the forklift trucks, the semi tractor and trailers, parking for the retail trade. He
asked what the benefit was for the citizens of cypress and less trucks and more people
shopping at stores where the City gets the sales tax is what was needed.
Mr. Henry Hurtado, 5673 Lakla Drive, cypress, stated he was opposed to the project.
There is no such thing as a Quiet neighborhood when trucks are involved. He asked if
the amount of income produced would justify destruction of the environment and the
downgrade in property values. He believed this was a step in the wrong direction.
Mr. Burt Cheifer, 5982 Paradise circle, Cypress, expressed concern that orangewood
might be opened up as an access to the warehouse.
Mr. Emil Rothery, 7384 Anguilla Avenue, Cypress, expressed concern about the screening
of the building, sound barriers and occupancy of the building if the applicant leaves.
Ms. Rosanne Schnaider, 11384 Tortuga street, cypress, asked if the warehouse would
operate on saturdays and sundays.
Mr. Law spoke briefly, addressing Councilmember Kerry'S Question about the revenues
to the City. The sales tax from this facility is generated from the point of sale of their
will call operation and the city will receive one percent of the current $80 million in
sales.
Responding to Council member Bowman, the Finance Director reported that the current
total sales tax revenue to the City is $3.5 million.
Mr. Law made some general observations about the concerns of this particular use and
about the warehouse. The Business Park was created to have a mix of different uses.
warland does what they say and they mean what they say. Since so many of the
Questions were related to Shaw's operation, he asked Mr. Larimer to respond.
Mr. Larimer stated that he did understand the community's concerns, but he knew the
operation and the employees. He then responded first to the concerns raised about
the trucks, I.e., hours of operation, routes, number of trips, maintenance and fueling.
He also answered concerns on carpet fumes and fibers, days of operation, loading
ramps and security.
Councllmember Bowman stated that the conditions of approval covered many of the
concerns that have been voiced and if those conditions are violated, the use is subject
to a public hearing again. The owners of the property have a great interest in assuring
that the uses are compatible so other tenants will locate in the Business park.
RECESS: Mayor Partin recessed the meeting at 11 p.m. and reconvened it at 11:15 p.m.
with all Councilmembers present.
Mayor Partin advised the audience on public hearing procedures.

Councilmember Kerry asked Questions of the applicant on gaskets around the doorway
in the loading bay, over-the-road contract carriers,
Councilmember Bowman asked about the truck route and that the long haul route be
made one of the conditions. Mr. Larimer said that wasn't a problem. In responding to
Mr. Bowman, Mr. Larimer advised that long haul trucks do arrive on the weekend
occasionally, It Is a seven day a week operation and he explained the trucking operation.
The company trucks will not be operating on the weekend. Council member Bowman
asked if it would be acceptable to have a condition outlining the hours of operation
from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on saturday and from 2 p.m. on sunday. Mr. Larimer would have
to consult with Corporate as to whether they would be willing to have conditioning on
the hours of operation.
Regarding any parking in the fire lane, Mr. Larimer has requested that a locked gate be
put up at each back corner of the building for Fire Department access only.
Council member Age asked about a date for future expansion of the warehouse,
additional parking and the number of office employees and hours of work, which were
answered by Mr. Larimer.
Mr. Larimer then responded to Mayor Partin's Questions on the will-call hours.

The Councilmembers continued asking their Questions of City staff.
Council member Bowman asked that If there was a change in the use of the site and an
opening onto Orangewood that hadn't been approved previously, would the permit
have to go through the public hearing process. The Acting City Attorney advised that it
would be a modification to the permit that would require City Council approval.
Council member Kerry asked that the permit be conditioned so that If an opening were
proposed onto orangewood, It would require a modification to the conditional use
permit.
RECESS: Mayor partin recessed the meeting at 11:55 p.m. and reconvened at 12
midnight with all Council members present.
Mayor Partin asked the Acting City Attorney to clarify any future access onto
orangewood Avenue. She stated that if there was a new use on the site, all that would
technically be required would be a Design Review. In order to deal with the issue
raised, if the Council so desired, they could require the applicant to record a deed
restriction that would restrict access to the site from orangewood Avenue.
Mr. Carl Robertson, Manager Director of warland, stated that they have no intention of
allowing an access from orangewood Avenue; however, the deed restriction should
state there shall be no access from Orangewood Avenue unless required by the federal,
state, county or local government.
Mr. Law reiterated that Warland had no desire to have any driveway access any use of
orangewood Avenue. If the Fire Department wanted an in-road, they didn't want that
to affect their permit. Mr. Law also advised that they would agree to a 10 or 12 foot
wall and, in addition, will accept the landscaping requirements that staff had discussed.
Council member Bowman pointed out and read Condition NO. 25 of the Conditions of
Approval regarding revocation of a permit.
Mayor Partin commented that the public was noticed in accordance with the law and
actually exceeded the requirements. The Council is not permitted to contact the
applicants in any way prior to the public hearing.

Responding to Councilmember Bowman, the public works Director answered that even
with the rerouting of the truckS, the signal at valley View and Warland would be
necessary. To get across Valley View would be difficult even during slow periods. It
would be a necessary signal and when synchronized all the signals would function in a
coordinated fashion.
Council member Nicholson commented that she believed the traffic was mitigated by
going from 14 buildings to one; from 860 cars to 314 and the trucks will not be leaving
at the same time. The noise will be stopped by the building and she believed they
would be receiving less noise than she does just east of Valley View. She voiced her
support of the project, It will be an asset to the businesses and the City and bring in
needed revenues.
Council member Age also expressed her support of the project. She has listened to what
the citizens had said and the Council has taken measures to mitigate the noise and the
traffic level concerns. warland Investments has always created exceptional projects,
bringing In top Quality businesses. It is a specific Plan that has been designated as a
Business Park and she welcomed Shaw Industries into the City.
Council member Bowman remarked that the objective of the public hearing process was
to air the concerns of the community and it is important that communities have
balance. In order to have the parks and recreational programs in this City for the
residents is one of the reasons Cypress has good property vaiues. This is a point of sale
revenue source and it is Important to the City. He expressed his support of the project.
Council member Kerry stated that the Council has listened to the concerns, raised
Questions, added and modified them to arrive at comfortable solutions to the concerns.
There were many issues involved and major concerns about traffic generation, access
from orangewood, noise and other issues that the City has been dealing with for some
time. The property has been zoned for this type of use for years and if the citizens
wanted open space they would have to buy the property. She believed the project was
very good, it is a compromise and the project will provide the City with tax revenue
that is needed.
Mayor Partin commented that everyone likes the look of Katella Avenue, the Warland
buildings, and thousands and thousands of employees are brought into the City but the
total net sales revenue from all of those facilities will not equal that of this operation.
This one operation will increase the sales tax revenue of the City by 25%. The budget
for street maintenance has been Increased and the infrastructure needs to be repaired.
The City has no money, the employees have not received an Increase for some time, the
Council has no choice for the health safety and betterment of this City but to move
forward with this project.
It was moved by Councilmember Nicholson and seconded by Councilmember Kerry to
close the pUblic hearing, adopt a finding of de Minimis Impact, approve the Negative
Declaration and direct staff to file a Notice of Determination and de Minimis Impact
Exemption and adopt the Resolution by title OnlY, title as fOllOWS, approving Conditional
use Permit No. 94,15, subject to conditions In Exhibit "A" and the additional, modified
and changed conditions.
