assu~ the court costs for both the District and the City, in addition to the
added burden of double taxation to which they would be subjected until this

property for the proposed Post Office development, and indicated that one of the
property owners in this Annexation has requested the Council to request the Local
Agency Formation Con~ssion to continue its consideration of this matter for a
30-day period. This request was made due to the fact that the property owner is
having difficulty in receiving information from the Post Office Department relative
to constructing the Post Office on his property.
Mayor Bowen indicated that since the Local Agency Formation COmmiSsion determines
only whether or not the property is contiguous and is a logical.extension of the
City's boundaries, he could not see the value of requesting a continuance of the
hearing before the Commission~

was attempting to contact one of the major property owners on this matter and
that he hoped to meet with this property owner prior to the hearing before the

request a continuance of this matter at the Local Agency Formation Com~nission
meeting or consider a continuance at the time it is presented before the City
Council.

although not specifically established, ~ublic hearings before the City Council

Agency Formation Co~m~ssion, it was moved by Councilman Kanode, seconded by
Councilman Kanel and unanimously carried to place this matter on the agenda
for consideration at this time.

quest for a continuance of the Public Hearing on Annexation No. 69-3 before

City Council Minutes
April 7, 1969
"A bond shall be posted for the development of a future wall along the south
boundary of the tract and for the vertical extension of the north wall of the
flood control channel." This condition is necessary since the Flood Control
District intends to build a rectangular channel in this area and the walls
surrounding the channel would be designed high enough only to contain the flow
of water, which would mean that the top of the wall would be some distance below
the adjacent ground. Therefore, in order to be able to use eight feet on the
end of the lots abutting the channel, it will be necessary to extend the wall
of the channel~
The City Manager stated that Condition No~ 26 had been reworded by the Planning

outlining the necessity to enter into an agreement with the Southern California
Edison Company, whereby the Edison Company would quit claim to the City all

of-way from Orange to 1351 feet south of Orange and would in return receive

General discussion was held relative to placing this utility pole underground,

CONSIDERATION OF REPORT ON STATUS OF DRAINAGE FUNDS: The City Manager presented
a report dated April 3, 1969 reviewing the status of the unpaid reimbursement
agreements and estimating the amount of funds to be deposited in the Master Plan
of Drainage account upon development of remaining R-1 and school properties.
The report also presented three MaSter Plan Storm Drain facilities which will be
required to be constructed prior to subdivision development and which could be
financed either through drainage reimbursement agreements or through the use of
storm drain bond funds. These drains include the 20-A-1 Storm Drain across the
Naval Air Station which is estimated to cost $72,500; the 2-A-2 Storm Drain which
is the northerly extension of the West Side Drain and which is estimated to cost
$34,000; and the 7-A-1 Storm Drain from Valley View south of Orange to the Carbon
Creek Channel which is estimated to cost $38,000°
The City Manager stated that these three projects are estimated to cost a total
of $144,500 and that it appears that sufficient monies will be collected from
drainage fees to reimburse the developers for the construction of these Master
Storm Drain facilitieso He further indicated that although a balance of over
$200,000 will remain in the Bond Fund Account upon completion of the current
storm drain projects, it does not seem advisable to commit these funds for the
construction of storm drain facilities which can be financed through the
drainage fee program.
In response to a question from Mayor Bowen, the City Manager advised that the
City had included the Tank Farm as one of the undeveloped areas from which the
City will ~otain drainage fees. He further indicated that there are approximately
175 acres of land which are currently undeveloped on which drainage fees could
be collected through requirements of variances, conditional use permits and
division of land applications~
