City Council Minutes June 23, 1970
It was moved by Councilman Kanode and seconded by Councilman Harvey to adopt the
above Urgency Ordinance°
Councilman Harvey stated that the above Urgency Ordinance substantially reduces
the lot coverage and far exceeds minimum standards set by surrounding cities for
square footage in multiple f~m{ly dwellings.
Following dis cussion the Mayor announced there would be 15 minutes of testimony
allowed at this time°
Mr. Bob Hopkins, 4192 Avertira Madrid, made several suggestions to amend the ordi-
nance regarding dwelling density of multiple family residences in Cypress.
Mro Edward Warmington, 300 No. Newport Beach Blvd., Newport Beach, spoke in favor
of the proposed square footage requirements and requested permission of the Council
to display several slides which would depict good architectural design for multiple
family developments°
Following discussion regarding the purpose of displaying the slides, it was deter-
mined to proceed with the slide presentation since it would not be a part of the
presentation scheduled for Public Hearing on Conditional Use Permit C-231.
Mro Garrett Smith, 300 No. Newport Beach Blvd., Newport Beach, presented the slides
depicting various styles of architecture, recreational facilities, laundry facili-
ties, open areas, square footage and various densities involved in multiple family
dwelling projects throughout the County of Orange. In response to an inquiry from
Councilman Lacayo, Mro Smith advised that these projects were from 4 months to 2
years oldo
Mr. Eo Ko Cooper, 4721 Newman, co~m~ented that he was not impressed by the slides
stating that the ordinance now says buildings must be compatible with surrounding
areas, which would be difficult in all the various neighborhoods of Cypress. Mayor
Kanel advised that issuance of Conditional Use Permits would help in this regard.
Mr~ Conrad Tooley, 2555 Eo Chapman, Fullerton, stated he felt the ordinance as
now provided would exceed the customary requirements throughout the County. He
felt the most important aspect was that Council reserved the right to review all
applications°
Mro Bob Hopkins addressed the Council stating the ordinance must be written in
such a way as to be flexible.

FAMILY DEVELOPMENT, DENNI AND LINCOLN AVENUE: The Mayor announced this was the time
and place for the continuation of Public Hearing to consider the appeal of Conditional
Use Permit C-231, Multiple Family Development, Denni and Lincoln Avenue.
The Mayor declared the Public Hearing open and requested the Staff to present its
report~
The City Manager reviewed a report dated June 18, 1970, which stated that the affi-
davits of publication, posting and mailing of the Public Hearing notice, and affidavits
of continuation of Public Hearing are on file in the office of the City Clerk. The
report indicated the City Council at its adjourned regular meeting of May 27, 1970,
appealed the decision of the Planning Commission in reference to the subject Permit.
The Planning Director presented the Planning Commission's recommendation and report
and displayed the development plan, all of which would be kept on file in the office
of the City Clerk.
In response to an inquiry from Councilman Roberrs, the Planning Director indicated
that the developer would be responsible for the installation of landscaping, and
the owner of the multiple family development would be responsible for the maintenance
of the landscaped area°
Discussion ensued regarding traffic density conditions and entrance/exit requirements
from the development onto adjoining streets° Mr. Warmington addressed the Council
in response to an inquiry from Councilman Roberrs, advising that installation of
air conditioning had not been determined at this point as a part of the development,
that the appliances included would be a built-in range and oven, and possibly
refrigerators~ In response to Councilman Lacayo's request, Mr. Warmington advised
that two to three full-time maintenance men would be provided on this project, which
is the standard practice on projects of this nature. The City Council added as a
condition that the developer be required to install stop signs on all exits from the
multiple family development. Discussion followed regarding landscaping and the
asthetics landscaping offers. The City Council added as a condition that the deve-
loper submit the precise plan of development along the frontage of Denni Street to
the City Council for approvalo
Mr. Lea Wilson, 9190 Whitney Way, addressed the Council stating he felt the proposal
was not good in that the traffic and parking would be a problem. He stated he felt
there should be no parking on Denni at any time. Mayor Kanel advised Mr. Wilson that
this could be controlled by a No Parking restriction.
Mr~ Tony Dragonetti, 4477 Via Linda, stated he felt there should be a main traffic
entrance on Lincoln to relieve traffic on Denni, indicating that with two schools
and an additional proposed school there would be too much traffic on Denni.
The City Manager and Public Works Director reviewed the problems of an access
street onto Lincoln Avenue, including the problem of providing an additional traffic
signal which would be required on Lincoln Avenue°
Mro Vic Snug, 4603 Rainier Drive, stated he felt the street on the south side of the
proposed development would be the most appropriate place for a signal so that chil-
dren can cross to the school.

Mrs° Alice Frankiewich, 4219 Dover Circle, addressed the Council stating traffic
could be a problem for the residents to the South and West of the proposed dove~
lopment if it became difficult for vehicles to gain access to Lincoln on Denni.
This condition could increase traffic on Surrey Drive and other residential streets
south of the development°
Mro Jack Leneker, 4504 Middlebury, stated he felt most people would avoid Lincoln
Avenue which would add to traffic congestion on Denni and Orange.
~o Richard Koppang, 4024 Betwick Court, addressed the Council stating that if
Denni is later extended to Katella that this traffic situation should be considered
in these deliberationso Discussion followed regarding possible no parking signs
along Surrey Drive as well as on Denni Street, Mro Koppang presented a map out-
lining current and proposed multiple family zones and indicated there were far too
few open park areas in Cypress~
Mro Roger Seriaco, 4602 Rainier, addressed Council stating he felt the standards of
multiple family dwellings should be higher than those in some of the surrounding
cities°
Mrso Georgette Wagner, 4543 Rainier, inquired as to plans for landscaping and children's
play areas in the development stating she felt great care should be given in these
areas to provide adequate facilities so that children from the project would not be
coming into the residential tract next to it.
Mr~ Pat O~Hara, 9170 Whitney Way, stated he felt the project should be done one
section at a time so that it would look nice° Discussion followed regarding various
aspects of the development project. The City Manager reviewed each condition as
