Company, requesting a one-year extension on a bond posted with the City in
the amount of $33,000guaranteeing the full street improvements on the south
side of Orange Avenue west of Walker Street, which was originally a part of
Tentative Tract Map No. 5957. The basis for the request for the extension is
due to the cost of the improvements and the decision of the Grant Company to
sell the property. The City Council authorized the posting of this bond on
February 27, 1967 for a two year period to expire on February 16, 1969.
The City Manager reviewed the results of meetings which have been held with
representatives of Grant Company; wherein, Grant Company requested considera-
tion of allowing the one-year extension with a provision that a four-foot
A.C. walkway be installed ten feet from the right of way, which would provide
a temporary walking area on the south side of Orange Avenue. However, the
Staff feels that the full street improvements should be installed at this
time not only for pedestrian use, but also for the additional traffic lanes,
which the ultimete improvements would provide.
In response to a question from Councilman Harvey, the City Manager advised
that the improvements include sidewalk, curb and gutter and would extend
from Walker Street to approximately 300 feet east of Grindlay Street.
It was moved by Councilmen Kanel and seconded by Councilman Harvey to deny
the request of Robert H. Grant and Company for an extension of the bond
and require Robert H. Grant and Company to proceed with the installation
of improvements prior to the expiration of the bond on February 16, 1969.

mously carried to proceed to Item No. 10 on the agenda at this time, since
Items 4 through 9 and Item No. 11 had been considered during the afternoon
session of the City Council Meeting.

COMMUNICATION FROM CYPRESS STUDENTS OPPOSING THE FOkMATION OF AN ORGANIZATION
CALLED STUDENTS FOR A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETYeN-TME~6~fPRES8 3UNIOR COLLEGE CAMPUS:
The City Manager presented a communication received on November 6, 1968 from
Miss Linda Jensen, on behalf of the Cypress Students opposing the Students
for a Democratic Society and requesting the City Council to issue a state-
ment of position in reference to organization of this group on the Cypress
Junior College Campus. The conmmunication further requested this statement to
be transmitted to the Board of Trustees of the North Orange County Junior
College District,who apparently will receive an appeal from the proponents
of this organization of the action of the Cypress Junior College Student
Body Executive Council who denied their request to organize a chapter of
this association on the Campus.
The City Manager indicated that he has discussed this matter with Dr. Walker
from Cypress Junior College and reviewed for the Council the procedures to
be followed for organizing an on-campus association. He stated that in this
particular case, the denial of this group to organize by the Student Body
Council was supported by the Administration of Cypress Junior College and
statements of position in reference to this matter have been transmitted to
the North Orange County Junior College District Board of Trustees.
It was moved by Council man~Moe and seconded by Councilman Kanel to authorize
the City Manager to transmit to the North Orange County Junior College Dis-
trict Board of Trustees a statement that since the governing of the Campus
is of direct concern to both the Students and Administration of Cypress 3unior
College, in cases where both the Student Body and Administration agree in the
approval or denial of a request to form an association, the District Board
should not revoke their decision.
Councilman Harvey stated that although he is in sympathy of the request from
the Students opposing the formation of the Students for a Democratic Society
on the Cypress 3unior College Campus due to the problems that it could create
for the City; however, he felt this was an internal matter and, if the City
Council were to assume a position in this matter, it would set a precedent
of involving the City Council in requests for formation of other organiza-
tions on the College Campus.
Mayor Bowen and Councilman Noe concurred in the statements made by Council-
man Harvey, following which Councilman Noe's metion was unanimously carried
by the ~btlowing roll call vote:

CONSIDERATION OF ABATEMENT OF NUISANCE CONDITION ON PROPERTY LOCATED SOUTH
OF ORANGE AVENUE BETWEEN WALKER AND GRINDLAY: The City Manager presented a
report dated November 7, 1968, indicating that the owner of the property
located at Orange Avenue between Walker and Grindlay Streets had employed
a contractor to clear the property of the weeds and debris and this work
was completed as of November 4, 1968. In reference to the removal of broken
concrete on the property, the report indicated that although the foundation
has an undesirable appearance, the foundation and floor is not of a hazar-
dous nature as far as health or fire is concerned and it appears that it
would be an undue requirement on the property owner to force him to remove
this large mass of concrete at this time.
Mr. Alphonso Tranconni, 5471 Oxford Drive, Cypress, addressed the Council
requesting their consideration of requiring the property owner to remove
this concrete slab since it is an attractive nuisance for children due to
the fact that a child could fall off the slab and obtain an injury.
General discussion ensued relative to whether the provisions of the City's
Nuisance Abatement Ordinance provided for the abatement of this type of
nuisance.
Councilman Kanel indicated his desire to require the owner of the property
to remove this foundation slab at this time.
Mayor Bowen then indicated that, if this requirement is applied to one, it
should be applied equally throughout the City.
Following further discussion, the City Attorney reviewed the section of the
City Code, outlining the factors which constitute a public nuisance and
which can be abated under this Code Section.
Upon the request of Councilman Harvey, the City Manager reviewed the extent
of the foundation slab, indicating that it had previously been the founda-
tion for a dairy barn and since it is on a higher elevation than the resi-
dences adjoining the property, it is the same height as the fences. He
further indicated that the Staff would have to review the provisions of the
Nuisance Abatement sections of the City Code to determine which provisions,
if any, would apply.
It was moved by Councilman Noe and seconded by Councilman Kanode,
to request the Staff to prepare a report and recommendation
to be pre~ented ~o the City Council at its meeting of November 25, 1968, t'o
determine whether or not the existence of the concrete foundation slab on
the property south of Orange Avenue between Walker and Grindlay Streets
constitutes a public nuisance; and further whether the conditions on the
former Van Dyke property constitute a public nuisance and should be abated
under the City Code provisions.

CONSIDERATION OF INVESTIGATION OF LOCATION OF REVERSE CORNER LOT AT 5355
HANOVER DRIVE: The City Manager presented a report dated November 7, 1968,
reviewing the results of an investigation requested by the City Council at
its meeting of October 28, 1968, which indicated that reverse corner lot
located at 5355 Hanover Drive, Cypress, in Tract No. 5957 was in accordance
with the approved Final Map for this tract.
Mayor Bowen stated that a review of his notes on this matter indicated
that a condition had not been placed on Lot No. 19 in Tract 5957 since this
was a reverse comer lot and the driveway location would, therefore, have
had no effect on the vision clearance situation.
It was moved by Councilman Kanode, seconded by Councilman Harvey and unani-
mously carried this report be received and filed.
CONSIDERATION OF REPORT ON SPRAY PAINTING ACTIVITIES AT 5461 MARCELLA
CIRCLE: The City Manager presented a report dated November 8, 1968, re-
viewing the results of an investigation which had been conducted relative
to the spray painting operations conducted by Mr. Anthony Burdette at
5461 Marcella Circle, Cypress. The report indicated that there was a
difference of opinion between Mr. Burdette and the Planning Director as to
the attitude of each party and the basis for the conflict. The report also
indicated that the matter was brought to the attention of the City through
a complaint and that the Police Department had surveyed the area in reference
to the nuisance created by the activities at this residence. In summary,
the report indicated that it is apparent that a problem does exist and
there is little question that the repair and painting of vehicles is a use
not permitted in the residential zone and that Mr. Burdette's activities
in his garage should be limited to the repair and painting of his own
vehicle,and any additional activities would require the City to pursue
further action in limiting this activity.
The City Manager introduced into the record a communication dated November
7, 1968 signed by property owners on Marcella Circle who were protesting
the spray painting operations at 5461 Marcella Circle. He also presented
communications dated November 10th and November 12th, 1968 signed by other
property owners on Marcella Circle and adjacent streets indicating that
this operation did not disturb them.
With the permission of Mayor Bowen, Mr. Anthony Burdette, 5461 Marcella
Circle, Cypress, addressed the Council indicating that although he had
advised the Council that he had painted fifteen cars since the first of
the year, he had later determined that only seven cars had been painted,
three of which were painted at a place other than his residence- He fur-
ther advised that he wishes to paint only his own cars in his garage and
will no longer paint the vehicles of other persons.
The City Manager advised that, if Mr. Burdette were to purchase, paint
and repair a car with the express purpose of re-selling it, this would be
considered a commercial business and would also be in violation of the
Zoning Ordinance-
Mr. Burdette indicated that he has three vehicles, two of which he has
owned for eleven months or more.
Mr. Leonard Segler, 5452 Marcella Circle, Cypress, addressed the Council,
indicating that Mr. Burdette's spray painting operations in his garage
caused no disturbance to him° He further advised that Mr. Burdette re-
paired his car at no cost.
City Council Minutes
November 12, 1968
In response to inquiries from Councilman Kanel, Mr. Burdette indicated that
when spray painting in his garage, he does turn off the hot water heater.
He further indicated that since being advised by Mr. Putnam that the spray
painting operations were in violation of the Zoning Ordinance, he has ceased
these operations; but requested the Council's consideration of allowing him
to continue these operations on his own vehicles as a hobby~
Mr. Larry Ambrose, 5451 Marcella Circle, Cypress, addressed the Council,
advising that he lives on the west side of Mr. Burdette, requesting the
Council to consider in~posing a time limit on these spray painting operations,
if Mr. Burdette is allowed to continue them on his own vehicles as a hobby.
He advised that many times, Mr. Burdette has worked until 11:00 or 12:00
at night, which is a source of disturbance to the neighbors.
Councilman Kanel then stated that he felt Mr. Burdette's operations in his
garage should be discontinued before 10:00 p.m.
It was moved by Councilman Harvey and seconded by Councilman Noe to notify
Mr. Burdette that the continued operation of auto repairs and painting of
vehicles other than his own in his garage at 5461 Marcella Circle is a
violation of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance; and that the City will
pursue additional courses of action in the event Mr. Burdette fails to com-
ply with the Zoning Ordinance.

Staff had not had sufficient time since the last Council meeting to finalize
the research required in preparing a report on the various problems at Mid-
wood Manor and requested permission to continue this item to the City
Council Meeting of November 25, 1968.
It was moved by Councilman Noe, seconded by Councilman Kanel and unani-
mously carried to continue consideration of the report on the problems
at Midwood Manor until the meeting of November 25,1968.
