COMMUNICATION FROM NORTH ORANGE COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE DISTRICT RE: TRAFFIC

Manager presented a communication dated April 27, 1966, from Mr. Elton
W. Ward, Director of Physical Plant and Facilities of the North Orange
County Junior College District concerning traffic and street improvement
recommendations made by the City. The City Manager also presented a
memorandum dated May 18, 1966, from the Director of Public Works which
commented on the items outlined in the communication from the North
Orange County Junior College District.
In the subject memorandum, the Public Works Director proposed that the storm
drain system to be constructed on the Junior College property should not
be extended past a point approximately 580 feet west of Holder Street.
The report of the Public Works Director indicates that the extension of
the Master Plan of Drainage facilities beyond that point would not be
required for either draining the developed property on the Junior College
site or to accept the drainage waters now originating outside of the Cypress
City limits. The deletion of this portion of the 2-A Master Plan of
Drainage facilities would remove an estimated $29,000.00 from the Drainage
Reimbursement Agreement with the North Orange County Junior College District.
May 23, 1966
The Public Works Director indicates that these monies could be used for
other drainage facilities in the 2-A District which are more vital to the
2-A drainage system.
Following further discussion on the drainage needs in the 2-A District,
it was moved by Councilman McCarney, seconded by Councilman Harvey, and
unanimously carried to concur in the recommendation of the Public Works
Director that the Master Plan of Drainage facilities to be constructed by
the North Orange County Junior College District be terminated at a point

constructed beyond that point would not be subject to a reimbursement
agreement. The following roll call vote was taken:

the City Attorney has prepared the amendment to the Joint Powers Agreement
between the Cypress Park and Recreation District and the City of Cypress

The report further outlined a recent suggestion by the Park and Recreation
District Director that snow fencing supported by metal stakes <'c~uld be
used in the same manner at a considerable savings to the City.
Councilman Bowen stated that he is familiar with the snow fencing and
feels it would be adequate at this time since the ultimate development
plans for the park have not yet been finalized.
Councilman Kanel stated that representatives from one of the organization's
presently using the Community Sports Center would be presentat the
evening portion of the City Council meeting and suggested continuing this
matter until that time.
May 23, 1966
Councilman Harvey suggested that since the Federal Little League had
originally offered to contribute to the purchase of the outfield fencing,
that perhaps the lower price of the snow fencing would enable them to
purchase the fencing themselves. Councilman Kanel took exception to
this suggestion, stating that he feels individual groups should not
purchase equipment to be used on government property.
Following further discussion, it was moved by Councilman Kanel, seconded
by Councilman McCarney, and carried, to continue consideration of this

CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: FLY BREEDING AT 6411-6461 ORANGE AVENUE:
The Mayor announced this was the time and place for the continuation of
the Public Hearing to determine whether the breeding of flies at 6411-6461
Orange Avenue, Cypress, is in violation of Chapter 13, Article II Fly
Control, of the Cypress City Code, and to further determine whether nor not
the Health Officer may abate said condition, as requested by Joe Mello,
6411-6461 Orange Avenue, Cypress. The Mayor declared the Public Hearing
open and asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak for or against
the fly abatement.
The City Manager reviewed the actions of the City Council at the May 2nd
meeting, at which time Mr. Mello had indicated that the dairy operation
at the subject location would be removed by May 20, 1966.
Mr. Fred King, Supervising Sanitarian for the Orange County Health
Department, addressed the Council, stating that the dairy was abandoned
as of May 20, 1966, however Mr. King advised that there is still manure
on the property containing sufficient moisture to cause a fly breeding
problem. He further indicated that the present owners, the North Orange
County Junior College District, had indicated an interest in spreading
the manure in other areas of the proposed junior college Site, which would
be an acceptable solution to the problem.
Mr. Wheatley, representing the North Orange County Junior College District,
addressed the Council, stating that the District is in the process of
awarding a contract for site development and work would be underway almost
immediately.
Mr. Wayne Worley, 6412 Orange Avenue, Cypress, addressed the Council,
stating that he lives across from the subject property and has noticed
a great reduction in the amount of flies.
There being no further oral communications and no written communications,
the Mayor declared the Public Hearing closed.
It was moved by Councilman McCarney.and seconded by Councilman Bowen to
determine, on the basis of the report from the Health Department
representative, that no abatement proceedings will be required on the
property at 6411-6461 Orange Avenue, Cypress, if the present owner
distributes the manure in a manner acceptable to the Health Department.
Prior to voting on this motion, further discussion was held.
Councilman Kanel stated he was not in favor of this motion in that the
dairy had already been given three weeks to l~PLove the situation and in
his opinion the manure should be removed.
Councilman Harvey stated that since Mr. King is a professional man, he
would be willing to accept his description and recommendation concerning
the subject property. Councilman Kanel stated that Mr. King had also
~dicated that a fly breeding problem does exist on the property.
The motion carried by the following roll call vote:
AYES: 4
NOES: 1

PUBLIC HEARING RE: SPECIAL PERMIT FOR THE UNICORN RESTAURANT: The Mayor
announced this was the time and place for the Public Hearing to consider
an application for Special Permit to allow dancing by the patrons at the
Unicorn Restaurant, 5960 Cerritos Avenue, Cypress, as requested by Allan
Roberrs, 3251 Mainway Street, Los Alamitos, California.
The Mayor declared the Public Hearing open and requested the City Manager
to submit his report concerning the subject application.
A report dated May 19, 1966, was presented from the City Manager, stating
that inasmuch as the original application was submitted without complete
information, the Police Department has not been able to complete its
investigation of the persons who would be in charge of the restaurant and
cocktail lounge while dancing is taking place, and for this reason the
Police Department has requested that this Public Hearing be continued until
June 13, 1966, at which time a complete report will be available.
May 23, 1966
The Mayor asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak for or against
the subject application.
Mr. Allan Roberts, applicant, addressed the Council, stating that he felt
the Police Department had enough time to complete their investigation and
questioned what additional information would be required.
Mr. John Leneker, Acting President of the Cypress Chamber of Commerce,
addressed the Council, stating that he feels dancing at the Unicorn
Restaurant would be beneficial to the City of Cypress in providing the
citizens with a local establishment in which to dance.
In answer to questions from Councilman Kanel, the applicant, Mr. Roberts,
explained the location of the proposed ~nce floor, stating that i~ would
be a portable floor.
Further discussion was held concerning the investigation required prior
to issuance of the permit for dancing. The City Manager expl~ined that
all persons responsible for the management or supervision of the business
must be investigated and further stated that the Police Department has not
been able to obtain sufficient information concerning all of the individuals
involved in the operation of the Unicorn Restaurant.
Mr. Allan Roberrs again addressed the Council, reviewing occasions in
the past relating to the installation of a sign, the painting of the curbs
adjacent to his place of business, and the operation of the Police Department
in relation to his business, stating that in his opinion ~e City has
fought him and that he would not pay graft to anyone. Mr. Roberrs also
stated that the City Manager had told him that there were other ways of
handling his request.
The City Manager stated that he wished to clarify the statements made by
Mr. Roberts, regarding the processing of his request for a dance permit.
Mr. Roberts had originally requested this dance permit at a time when the
zoning ordinance prohibited dancing in a C-2 zone in which the Unicorn
Restaurant property was located. An amendment to the Zoning Ordinance
allowing dancing in the C-2 zone was approved by the Planning Commission
and City Council and in an effort to accommodate Mr. Roberts, he was advised
that the application would be accepted following the second reading of
the Ordinance amendment relating to dancing. Under this procedure, the
City Council if it determined that the permit was to be granted could
approve the application subject to the effective date of the Zoning
Ordinance amendment. Mr. Essex further emphasized that at no time was
any statement made to Mr. Roberts that the dance permit could be obtained
in any manner other than through the City Council under the procedures
~et forth in the Special Permit Ordinance.
Councilman Kanel stated that he has known Mr. Roberts for some time and
felt that the inferences made by Mr. Roberts were not intended.
Mr. Jack Leneker ag~h addressed the Council, stating that he felt the
inferences made by Mr. Roberrs could be attributed to his character as
an aggresive businessman seeking a permit and requested that the City
Council give favorable consideration to his reqhest.
The City Manager requested Police Chief Savord to present additional
information on the status of the required investigation.
Police Chief Savord addressed the Council, stating that he had requested
a continuation of the subject Public Hearing in order to obtain information
from Mr. Roberts concerning his employees which is required in order to
comply with the Special Permit Ordinance. He stated that the Police
Department investigators had been unsuccessful in their attempts to obtain
the required information from Mr. Roberts. Chief Savord emphasized that
the Police Department has no allegations to make against Mr. Roberts, but
simply need additional time to investigate the application.
Mrs. May Roberts addressed the Council, stating that she felt the
investigation conducted by the State in issuing the Alcoholic Beverage
License should be sufficient and in her opinion the employees should not
be involved in the investigation. The Police Chief replied that the City
Code requires an ~vestigation by the Police Department of all persons involved
in the management or operation of the establishment.
May 23, 1966
City Attorney James Erickson reviewed the City Ordinance regulating the
issuance of Special Permits by the City Council, with particular reference
to the investigation required by the Police Department. He also adViSed
that according to the Ordinance, the City Council must take action on
the request within 30 days of the filing of the application.
The Police Chief advised the Council that on the original application,
a great deal of the required information was not included by Mr. Roberts,
and for this reason the application had been returned for more complete
information.
The Police Chief suggested the possibility of the City Council continuing
this matter until later in the meeting, to allow him an opportunity to
determine if the required information has now been submitted to the Police
Department. It was moved by Councilman McCarney, seconded by Councilman
Harvey, and unanimously carried, to continue this Public Hearing until
later in the meeting.
PUBLIC HEARING RE:~ REVISION TO DRAINAGE DISTRICT 3-SQ OF THE MASTER PLAN
OF DRAINAGE: The Mayor announced this was the time and place for the
Public Hearing to consider a proposed revision of Drainage District 3-SQ
of the Master Plan of Drainage, which District is bounded generally on
the northwest by the Bolsa Chica Channel; on the north by a line approximately
600 feet north of the centerline of Orangewood Avenue~ onthe east by
Knott Street~ and on the south and west by the Cypress City boundary,
initiated by the Cypress Planning Commission.
The Mayor declared the Public Hearing open and requested the staff to
present its report concerning the proposed amendment.
The City Manager reported that the affidavits of publication and posting
of the Notice of the Public Hearing were on file in the Office of the City
Clerk and no communications had been received concerning the subject
amendment to the Master Plan of Drainage.
Public Works Director Art Schatzeder reviewed the engineering study
completed by the Public Works Department and summarized the following
recommendations for~avisions to Drainage District 3-SQ: (1) Installation
of an underground conduit system rather than an open channel; (2) Deletion
of the underground box conduit in Orangewood Avenue from the ~lsa Chica
Channel to approximately 1,320 feet west of Valley View, since this facility
will be installed by the Orange County Flood Control District; (3) updating
of construction costs to conform with revised facilities; and (4) deletion
of portions of the present District which are outside of the City limits.
He further indicated that the estimated total cost of the facilities
ncessary for the underground drainage system would be $342,400.00, which
would provide for an acreage charge in this district of $1,070.00 as
compared to the present $660.00 per acre ~harge for the construction of
an open channel.
In answer to questions from Councilman Harvey, the Public Works Director
stated that ~he alternate to the proposed underground system would be
an ~en channel, with a $960 per acre charge, assuming that the City could
obtain the required dedication. Further discussion ensued concerning the
advantages of an underground system.
The b~yor asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak for or against
the proposed Amendment to Drainage District 3-SQ.
Mr. Anthony Palmitessa, 10182 Pimlico, Cypress, addressed the Council,
inquiring as to the need for this amendment. The PuBlic Works Director
reviewed the City's Master Plan of Drainage and the manner of assessment
of drainage fees. Mr. Palmitessa stated that he is in favor of the
amendment since it will not be a cost to the City.
There being no oral protests and no written communications, the Mayor
declared the Public Hearing closed.
Councilman Kanel inquired concerning the Planning Commission's discussions
on the ~oposed amendment, noting that the Resolution recommending approval
of the amendment had not been adopted by a unanimou~ vote of the Planning
Commission. Secretary of the Planning Commission George Putnam indicated
that the difference of opinion partially concerned the recommendation for
an underground system and the possibility that the higher drainage fee could
discourage development of the property.
May 23, 1966
Following further discussion, it was moved by Councilman Kanel, seconded
by Councilman Bowen, and unanimously carried, the following Resolution
be adopted, title as follows:

PUBLIC HEARING RE: OBJECTIONS TO 1966 WEED ABATEMENT PROGRAM: The Mayor
announced this was the time and place for the Public Hearing to consider
any objections to the proposed removal of we~ds, rubbish, refuse, and
dirt, as noted in Resolution No. 689 declaring public nuisances and the
intention to abate. The Mayor declared the Public Hearing open and
requested the City Manager to present his report concerning this matter.
The City Manager stated that the affidavits of publication a~d posting
of the Notice of Public Hearing were on file in the Office of the City Clerk,
and that written communications had been received from the following (1)
Edwin F. and Bernice McKell Brown, stating that arrangements had been made
for the cleaning of their property; (2) North Orange County Junior College
District, requesting deferment of weed abatement on the Cypress Junior
College property since development work on the site will begin shortly;
and (3) Mr. D. L. Norgren, 6063 Fred Drive, Cypress, stating that the weed
problem on his property had been abated. In addition the Public Works
Director has received verbal notification from the Larwin Company and the
Cypress School District that their properties will be cleaned. The City
Manager further reported that he had received a verbal request from Mr.
Pete Van Ruiten that he be allowed to do his own abatement work sometime
following the date on which the City contractor will begin work.
Mrs. Mason Boston addressed the Council, stating that she does not object
to the City's removal of weeds on her property, however last year the weed
abatement contractor removed rock, dirt, and fill, and she does not want
this type of material removed this year.
Mr. Leonard Malitz, 4508 Lemon, Cypress, addressed the Council, stating
that he had removed the wee~ from his property and was in the process
of landscaping his yard.
Mr. Wayne Worley, 6412 Orange Avenue, Cypress, addressed the Council, inquir-
ing as to who is responsible for theposting of properties which require
weed abatement, stating that the property next to his at 6452 Orange should
have been posted. The Public Works Director advised Mr. Worley that the
weed abatement contract is responsible for posting of the property. Mr.
Worley emphasized that the subject property is a definite fire hazard in
its present condition.
........... ~La~ 23~ 1966
In answer to an inquiry from Mrs. Mason Boston, the City Manager reviewed
the unit prices for weed abatement work to be performed by the weed
abatement contractor.
Mr. Leonard Malitz, 4508 Lemon, again addressed the Council, stating that
property at the intersection of Denni and Orange contains a large pile of
rubbish. The Public Works Director replied that this property had been
posted for abatement.
In answer to a question from Mr. Bob Smith, of the Anaheim Bulletin, the
City Manager stated that the Weed Abatement Contract is under the control
of the City and that photographs of each lot are taken prior to the actual
start of cleaning operations and in addition an inspection is made by the
City's Public Works Inspector to ascertain the need for cleaning of each
parcel.
In answer to a question from Mr. Anthony Palmitessa, 10182 Pimltco, Cypress,
the City Attorney advised that the weed abatement contractor can enter
private property due to the fact that the existence of weeds and rubbish
constitutes a public nuisance, which therefore gives the City the
authority to enter the property for removal of the nuisances.
Mr. Nick Ermolemko, 4291 Myra Avenue, Cypress, addressed the Council,
inquiring as to the size weeds must reach prior to being considered a
nuisance. The City Attorney explained that there is no exact size, but
they must be such that the inspector determines that they would constitute
a fire hazard or a nuisance. Mr. Ermolemko stated that he has planted
his lot twice without success and has recently been attemptl~g to remove
the weeds, so would request an additional three weeks in which to complete
the removal.
At the request of the City Council, the City Manager read into the record
Page 4 of the proposed Resolution ordering theabatement of the nuisances,
said page having been inadvertently~itted from the material submitted
to the City Council for consideration.
Mr. R. J. Callanan, 4422 Marion Avenue, Cypress, addressed the Council,
stating that h~ front yard is landscaped and his back yard is planted
with various types of greenery, including tomatoes, 1 rhubarb, and beans.
Mr. Callanan stated that an error had been made in posting his property.
There being no further oral protests and w~itten communications, the
Mayor declared the Public Hearing closed.
The City Manager requested that the City Council express its desire
concerning the action to be taken on those properties discussed during
the Public Hearing. With reference to the requests from the School
Districts, he stated that the staff feels that such public agencies
should be allowed to complete their own work if desired. He also suggested
the possibility of bonds being posted by other property owners to guarantee
the weed abatement work.
Further discussion ensued concerning the time periods involved for
cleaning of the weeds. Councilman Harvey stated he feels individuals
who have contacted the City expressing a desire to do the work themselves
should be given some consideration. Councilman Kanel suggested the
possibility of defering work on those properties mentioned in the Public
Hearing for approximately 20 days; however, the Public Works Director
pointed out that this would be an additional burden upon the Weed
Abatement Contractor.
The Public Works Director stated that he understands portions of the
Junior College site are not included in their pending contract for
development, and inquired if these should be subject to abatement.
Mr. Wheatley, representing the Junior College District, advised that the
only area not included in the pending development was located in the
un~nzorporated area of the County.
Further discussion ensued concerning the various properties discussed during
the public hearing, following which it was moved by CQuncilman Kanel,
seconded by Councilman Bowen, and unanimously carried, to adopt the
following Resolution, deleting the following from Exhibit "A" of the

method, proceeded to conduct a background check on the various employees,
some of which have not yet been completed. Chief Savord emphasized that it

CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
BETWEEN CYPRESS PARK AND RECREATION DISTRICT AND CITY OF CYPRESS RE:
PURCHASE OF FENCING: A report dated May 19, 1966, was again presented
from the City Manager concerning the amendment authorized to the Joint Powers
Agreement between the Cypress Park and Recreation District and the City
for the purchase of outfield fencing for the ball fields at the
Community Sports Center, and outlining the recent suggestion by the Park
and Recreation District Director that snow fencing could be used in the
same manner at a lesser cost to the City.
In answer to an inquiry from Councilman Harvey, the City Manager stated
that he understands that the snow fencing can be used in other areas if
the additional holes and staking materials were available.
Mr. Robert Lopez, 5602 Bishop Street, Cypress, addressed the Council,
stating that the proposed snow fencing is merely a picket fence secured
with woven wire, and indicated that the City could not ~ expected to
gain more than two years of use out of this type of fencing. He also
stated that the snow fencing is a hazard for children.
In answer to a question from Councilman Kanel, Mr. Louis Selby,
5204 Melbourne Drive, Cypress, President of the Federal Little League,
addressed the Council, stating that Mr. Bryant, Director of the Park and
Recreation District was in favor of the permanent type of outfield fencing
approved at the last City Council meeting. He stated that since that time,
Mr. Bryant had reconsidered this matter and suggested the snow fencing.
Further discussion ensued concerning the possibility of a parking lot
being installed by the Federal Little League at the Community Sports
Center. Mr. Tom Fitzgerald, 10211Angela Avenue, Cypress, addressed the
Council, stating that he feels a parking lot should not be installed on
property which may never be available for purchase.
Mr. Selby again addressed the Counc~, outlining future plans for a
permanent recreation building being built on the property.
Mr. Fitzgerald addressed the Council, outlining the malicious mischief
which has occurred in the community sports center as of this time, and
stated that the proposed snow fencing would probably not last long.
Mr. Fitzgerald stated that the Federal Little League had offered to pay
for half of the permanent outfield fencing if the City would purchase the
remainder. In answer to a question from Councilman Harvey, Mr. Fitzgerald
indicated that the Federal Little League would be eligible for tournament
play if the fencing is installed.
Mr. Louis Selby again addressed the Council, stating that there is a
possibility of the North Orange County Junior College District utilizing
the Community Sports Center for the baseball diamonds. He also stated
that there were various facilities which had been allocated in the
budget for development of the Community Sports Center which to date have
not been completed.
Following further discussion, it was moved by Councilman McCarney and
seconded by Councilman Kanel to authorize the Mayor to sign and City
Clerk to attest the amendment to the Joint Powers Agreement providing
for the $4,000 appropriation for the purchase of outfield fencing for the
Community Sports Center. Prior to voting on this motion, further discussion
was held.
May 23, 1966
Councilman Harvey inquired if the Little League had investigated the
possibility of obtaining the use of private property for development of
little league diamonds. Mr. Selby stated that this would be an ideal
situation but he had not found individuals who would be willing to
initiate such a development. Councilman Harvey suggested that the Federal
Little League officials contact the City of Long Beach to see what condi-
tions were imposed on the little league to permit the erection of diamonds,
with reference to purchase of fencing, equipment, etc. Councilman Harvey
further stated that he feels the expenditure of $4,000 for the purchase of
fly spray equipment, which would be of benefit to the entire community,
would be more appropriate than expendiDg it for a small group of little
league individuals. He emphasized that he is not opposed to fencing the
little league diamonds, but would prefer to see the less expensive snow
fencing.
Councilman Kanel inquired if the new Councilmen had been advised of the
recent negotiations concerning moneys received by the City for recreational
purposes, indicating that he felt this should be taken into consideration
in this decision.
