CONSIDERATION OF FINAL TRAC~ MAy ~0. ~q72,.. ~O~ERT H.. GRANT..AND C~PANY.: The City
Manager presented a report dated November 20, 1964, from the City Engineer concerning
Pinal Tract }~p No. 5072, located north of Orange Avenue, 660-feat east of Bloomfield,
101 R-1 lots, 20.282 acres, as requested by Robert H. Grant and Company, 1665 South
Brookhurst Street, Anaheim, California,
The report frem the City Engineer indicated that Condition No. 6 placed on the
Tentative Tract Hap has not been met, said condition reading as follows~
A temporary chm~nel traversing private property doomstream must be
provided to cary runoff from a ten year storm over this tract and the
con tributing areas on the north to a sump area between Carbon Creek
Channel and Ball Road. The channel shall be designed to remove this
flow by gravity under maximum water surface elevation 28° in the sump
area with maximum head loss of two feet from Orange Avenue to the semp.
Permanent drainage facilities will be constructed later to conform to
the City~s Master Plan of Drainage,"
This condition has not been complied with in that a correct easement to the sump
area south of Ball Ro~d has not been submitted and engineering calculations
have not been provided indicating that a maximten head loss Of two feet would
exist from Orange Avenue to the eump area.
Due to the drainage problems and difficulty with the proposed street pattern,
the City Engineer recommended that the Council not approve Final Tract Map No.
5072 and also take no action to extend the time for compliance with the
tentative map conditons imposed on December 9,1963.
Mr. Richard Owens, representing the Robert H. Grant Company, addressed the Council
indicating that every effort had been made to comply with the conditions of the
Tentative Tract Map and that the easement obtained from the Larwin Company
terminated at time proposed sump area north of Ball Road, which was one of the
main reasons that the Grant Company entered into the Drainage District 2-A
Agreement between the City afld the Larwin Company.
Mr. Owen further requested that if the City Council could not approve the Final
'~ap at this time, the time for map approval may be extended·
The City Engineer outlined the drainage problems in the subject area and the
possibility that the street pattern may have to be altered to provide for the
ultimate drainage of the tract and surrounding areas.
Upon questioning, the City Attorney advised the City Council that the Council
has limited Jurisdiction in t~ls matter and must approve the Final Map if it
meets the conditions of the Tentative Map, and if the Council wishes to extend
the time for Final Map approval, no new or additional requirements ~euld be
imposed.
~lr. Richard ~qen again addressed the Council, requesting consideration of extend-
ing time of approval of the Final T~Iap} indicating that ~Ir. Goldin, representing
tile Larwin Company~ ]lad indicated favorable consideration would be given to
extendin~ the easement to the proper area required by Condition No. 6 on the
Tentative Map,
~e City Manager advised that he had received a call from T.Ir. Goldin, expressing
the possibility that the drainage easement might be extended to the sump area
below Ball Road, depending upon the effect this addit4onal easement would have
upon the Larwin Company's property at that location.
In ans%~r to a question from Councilman Corzeman regarding the time needed for
additional studies in this area to determine the most effective way to solve
tbe drainage problem~ the City Manager indicated that a period of 90 days will
be needed to finalize any of the engineering studies provided for in the Drainage
District 2-A agreement.
A motion was made by Councilman Kanet to deny Final Tract Map No. 5072 based upon
the conditions of the Tentative Map not be trig met, however the motion died for
lack of a second·
November 23, 1964
The City Council was further advised that if the Final ~ap ~re denied based on
the fact that the conditons of tile Tentative Map were not met at this time,
the Developer could refile a similar map at the conclusion of the drainage
studies if the drainage and street pattern could be resolved without altering the
existing map.
Mr. Pete Van Ruiten, 9432 South Bloomfield, Cypress, addressed the Council,
stating that ha hopes the City Council takes into consideration the fact that
this tract is a major key to the drainage in the subject area.
It was moved by Counoilman Kanel, and seconded by Councilman McCarney to deny
Final Tract Map No. 5072 inasmuch as the Developer has not conformed to
Condition No. 6 relative to drainage, in that a correct easement to the sump
area south of Ball Road has not been submitted~ and engineering calculations
have not been provided indicating that a maximum head loss of two feet would
exist from Orange Avenue to the sump area. Prior to voting on this motion,
further discussion was held regarding the need for additional drainage studies
in the area.
Mr. Arthur Anderson, 4312 Jad~ Avenue, Cypress, addressed the Council, stating
that it seemed evident that if the Council were to grant an extension of this
Tract Map, tile City would be required to maintain the street pattern as submitted.

C~.TY OF CYPRE.SS PREFERE/~CE FOR P.RpPOSED.}!U~.~.INGTON BEACH FllE~Y: A report
dated Novsmoker 18, 1964, was presented from the City Manager concerning the
proposed locati6n of the Huntingtun Beach Freeway now under study by the State
Division of Highways. The State has prepared a map suggesting four alternative
routes, and th ~ity staff has favored Route A, located in the most westerly
area, generally west of Knott Street, due to the favorable impact that such a
proposed freeway might have upon the projected industrial area south of Cerritos
on both sides of Valley View.
Tile report outlined further desirable aspects of locating the Freeway on
Routh A, and further stated that Route A would appear to require less expenditure
in funds in terms of condemning areas already developed.
Following discussion, it was moved by Councilman Gorzeman, seconded by Councilman
Wright, and unanimously carried, to go on record in support of selection of
Route A for the proposed Huntington Beach Freeway, and instruct the City Manager
to prepare a letter outlining the reasons for this action to be submitted to the
State of California, Department of Public Works, Division of Highways and to
AssemblS~an William Dannemeyer.
AN~EXATIOi~j OF PORTION OF CY.PP~..S.S LI..~I.~.ING D~.STR.ICT OF O.R~NGE COUNTY LYIN~ L~ITHIN
C.I.Ty..OF CYPRESS: A report dated November 18, 1964,.was presented from the 'City
Manager, stating that during the past several months, the City Manager and
Public Works Director have held nomerous meetings with the Southern California
Edison Company regarding the existing street lighting systems within the City of
C~ypress in an effort to develop an uniform pattern of street lighting procedures
a~d asses.~ments. One of the major problems is the existence of an area north
of Orange Avenue between Denni and Valley View which falls within an Orange
County Lighting District.
The City has performed street l~ghting service through tile formation of special
districts in ~he s~bdivided areas, levying assessments against each property
owner based on the benefit received from the street llghts installed as the
subdivisions develop. The most economical and efficient way to collect energy
charges for street lighting is to establish the energy charges on a tax ~te
basis, which is accomplished by establishing a City-wide Lighting District and
establishing zones within the various areas of the City based on the type and
amount of street lighting available to tile various araas.
November 23, 1964
Prior to establishing a Street Lighting Program of this nature, it would be
required to de-annex the areas falling within the County Street Lighting
District from the County and annex these areas into the over-all City Lighting
District.
~e major re ason for this d~ange in Jurisdiction would be to improve the
street lighting standards which are higt~'r in the City than exist in theCounty
District. In order to receive the tax monies to be collected from the district,
tile City must have accomplished the transfer of Jurisdiction prior to February 1,
1965.
Following discussion concerning this matter, it was moved by Councilman Gorzeman,
seconded by Councilman Wright,and unanimously carried~ to adopt the following
Resolution, title as follows:
RESOLUTION NO. 531
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS RE. QUESTING
