CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER PRQ~S~ .TO THE ANNEXATIQN OF
INHABITED PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE NqR~H .A~.D SOUTH SIDES OF LINCOLN
AVENUE BETWEEN SUMNER PLACE AND MSODY STREET KNOWN AS .AN~.~X~T. ION 69-6: The
Mayo~ 'announced this was' t~e time and place f~ '~ continuation of the Public
Hearing to consider protests to the Annexation of inhabited property generally
located on the north and south sides of Lincoln Avenue between Sumner Place and
Moody Street, and known as Annexation 69-6 ~
The Mayor announced that the Public Hearing was open, and requested the Staff
to present its report°
The City Manager presented a report dated August 6, 1970 which indicated that the
affidavits of continuation of the Public Hearing have been posted and are on
file in the office of the City Clerk. The report further indicated that the
City has received a communication dated August 4, 1970, from Mr. Donald Hunt,
President, Hunt Enterprises, 17411 Cretehaw Blvd., Torrents, requesting that any
previous property protest filed on the 8~8 acre Bebereia property, within the
annexation area, be withdrawn° The report stated that Mr, Hunt has also submitted
a written, recorded agreement to buy the property, which fulfills the legal
requirements, and indicates in his letter that his company wishes the property
to be annexed to the City~ The report indicated that an analysis of the
original petition of protest reveals that there were protests in the amount
of $156,380, which would have been sufficient to terminate further proceedings;
hcwever, the assessed value of theBebereia property, which was included in
the protest petition, but is no longer valid, is $51,160. With this protest
removed, the totalwritten property protest is $105,220, which is insufficient to
terminate further proceedings.
At the suggestion of Councilman Roberrs, the Council agreed that there should
be a reasonable time limit placed on the public testimony, and that the
speakers in opposition to the annexation should alternate with those in favor.
The Mayor then asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition to the annexation.
Mr<, Joseph Sheets, 4802 Morton Avenue, addressed the Council indicating that
a majority protest had been filed at the City Council meeting of June 8, 1970,
-6 -
City Council Minutes August 10, 1970
and that the City Coancil continued this matter in order to have an outcome which
would be favorable to those who favored the annexation,
There being no one in the audience wishing to speak in favor of the annexation,
Mayor Kenel recognized Mro Ralph Thomas, 4872 Lincoln Avenue, who addressed the
Council indicating that he felt that the entire matter was handled in an unfair
manner, and that it would appear that the City is not interested in the individual,
but only his property°
Following discussion, it was moved by Councilman Kenode and seconded by Councilman
Roberrs to close the Public Hearing° The motion was unanimously carried by the
follcwing roll call vote:

Councilman Roberrs stated that although he could understand the reasons why
people have felt strongly about this matter, it would be incorrect to assume
that any members of the Council coveted that property. He urged that all of
the people in the annexation area talk with one another, and seriously consider
the reasons for the annexation to the City of Cypress. Councilman Roberrs
explained that the City Council wished to let the people decide whether or not
they would like to be a part of the City~
Mayor Kanal stated that he could understand the personal feelings of Mro Sheets
and Mr~ Thomas, relative to this particular situation ~ Me stated that he
must look at the fact which has been presented, which ie that the record
shows a majority protest has not been filed~ He indicated that he was previously
somewhat in opposition as it appeared there was a majority protest; however, it is
now evident that a majority protest has not been filed, therefore, he will
reluctantly be voting in favor of the matter.
Councilman Harvey commented that the final determination will be made by a vote
of the people in the area.
It was moved by Councilman Roberrs and seconded by Councilman Kenode to adopt
the following Resolution by title only, title as follows:
RESOLUTION NO~ 1096

CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: CONSiDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING

the time and place for the continuation of the Public Hearing to consider
an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance No. 90, known as Zone Change Z-187.
The Mayor announced that the Public Hearing was open, and requested the Staff
to present its report.
The City Manager reviewed a report dated August 5, 1970, which indicated that
the City Council at its regular meeting of July 13, 1970, continued the Public
Hearing to consider an application to amend Zoning Ordinance No. 90 to change
the zone of a certain parcel of land from C-2 (General Commercial) to R-3
(Multiple-family Residential) on property generally located on the west side
of Holder Street, north of Ball Road, requested by Creative Environment, Inc.,
2110 E. Katella, Ariahelm, California (for Frank J. Hansman and James J. Fuchik,
property owners). The report indicated that the notice of continuation of the
Public Hearing has been posted, and that no additional conmunications regarding
this matter have been received by the office of the City Clerk.
The Planning Director than presented Planning Staff Report PC#70-44, dated May
12, 1970, which described in detail the property in question and the surrounding
area. The report indicated that the proposed zone change would act as a
transitional use between the commercial activities fronting on Ball Road and
the low density residential neighborhoods to the north.
In answer to an inquiry from Councilman Harvey, the Planning Director stated
that the Planning Commission felt that an R-3 zone would be the most con~atible
use for the particular area.
In response to an inquiry from Councilmen Roberrs, the City Manager read a portion
of the zoning ordinance pertaining to height and distance restrictions of a
development in an R-3 zone.
In response to an inquiry from Councilman Roberts, the Planning Director
stated that all residents within a 300' radius of the subject property had
been notified of the Public Hearing on this matter.
In answer to a question from Councilman Harvey, the Planning Director explained
why he did not consider an R-2 or an R-i zone to be the best use for the
property.
Mr. 0. W. Norris, Creative Environment, Inc., addressed the Council stating
that he considered the request for the zone change to be in accordance with the
General Plan of the City. He indicated that should the zone change be approved
that it would be the plan of his organization to obtain a Building Permit in order
to develop an apartment complex, which would have parking around the perimeter,
with two rows of garages on the north side and a driveway between them. He
stated that the closest boundary to residential property would be 140 feet, and
that a block wall or screening device would be used.
Mrs. David Ginns, 4573 Rainier Drive, Cypress, stated that the City might
wish to consider another use for the subject property, such as a recreational
area.
It was moved by Councilman Roberts and seconded by Councilmen Kanode to close
the Public Hearing. The motion was unanimously carried by the following roll

City Council Minutes August 10, 1970
In answer to a question from Co~mcilman Roberts, the applicant stated that
the preliminary plan relative to parking spaces is based on 2 spaces per unit,
which, he stated, would be adequate to accommodate visitor parking.
Mayor Kanel stated that he would be opposed to this particular zone change, and
indicated that the property could be used for commercial purposes.
Councilman Harvey stated that when this matter was first brought to the attention
of the Council, he was in favor of the zone change due to the fact that he
felt that it was a logical change with the channel as a buffer and being
adjacent to C-2 and R-3; however, since that time, he has spent considerable
time examining the area, and indicated that he felt that the parking on
Juanita Street has become a problem as a result of the multiple-unit developmant
currently in the neighborhood, and further expressed concern that an apartment
unit in that particular location may attract an undesirable element of persons.
Councilmsm Harvey stated that he would prefer low density rather than multiple-
unit in this case.
In answer to a question from Councilman Roberts, the City Attorney stated that
there is a six month limitation on the filing of a new application on
the sarfe property for the same purpose; however, an application for a different
zone classification may be filed immediately. He further advised that the City
Council does have an obligation to act within 40 days of the time that the
Public Hearing proceedings were initiated; however, should the Council desire to
continue the matter, the extension beyond the 40 day period would allow the
applicant the prerogative of filing a statement to the effect that he
considered the inaction to be a denial of the application.
Councilman Kanode indicated that he did not consider this property to be in the
best commercial location within the conmunity as it is not on a main
thoroughfare; however, he further indicated that there is very little commercial
property within the community, and would be somewhat reluctant to act in favor of
the zone change.
Councilman Roberts stated that he would be in favor of continuing the matter
in order to allow the applicant time to consider the opinions expressed by the
Council this evening.
It was moved by Councilman Roberrs, seconded by Councilman Kanode and unanimously
carried to reopen the Public Hearing at this time.
It was moved by Councilman Roberts, seconded by Councilman Kanode and unanimously
carried to continue this matter to the City Council meeting scheduled for
September 14, 1970.

In response roan inquiry from Mayor Kanel, Mr. 0liver indicated that he would
receive a commission from the solicitation.
In response to an inquiry from Councilman Roberrs, the City Manager indicated
that the main objection contained in the report from the Chief of Police
is the fact that there is personal profit involved which is in conflict with
the past Council policy, where permits of this nature have been issued only to non-
profit organizations.
It was moved by Councilm~m Roberrs, seconded by Com~cilman Harvey and unanimously
carried to close the Public Hearing.
Mayor Kanel indicated that there are organizations within the City which
will be wanting to paint numbers on curbs°

request for a Special Permit to Student Home Specialties based on a determination
that the operation of the business would not comport with the peace, health, safety,
convenience, good morals, and general welfare of the public.
Councilman Kenode stated that he was not in opposition to young people in
enterprise; however, did feel that the community would prefer to support local
organizations.

who attend Kennedy High School and Walker Junior High School located in La Palms and
walk to school an Crescent Avenue. Mr. Hall indicated that installation of curbs
and sidewalks on Crescent between Moody and Carob are very much needed; that off-street
parking where the right of way is too narrow for both a sidewalk and parking, be
prohibited; and the speed limit be reduced to the lowest legal limit for a school zone°
At the request of Councilman Harvey, the Planning Director pointed out the
subject location on the aerial map.
Councilman Harvey stated that it would appear that most of the people who
are walking along the subject area, are walking in County territory even though
they reside in the Glen Park tract.
Councilman Roberts commended Mr. Hall for submitting such a thorough analysis
of the situation.
It was moved by Councilman Roberts and seconded by Councilman Kenode that the City
prepare a Resolution requesting assistance in this matter, to be forwarded to the
City of La Palms and the Orange County Board of Supervisors.

City could renew its request to encourage the County to post signs along this
area as previously agreed.

CONSIDERATION OF CURB DESIGN ON ORANGE AVENUE ADJACENT TO TIL~CT 6839: The City
Manager presented a report dated August 6, 1970 which indicated that the City
Council at its regular meeting of August 13, 1970 requested the Staff to provide
a further report on the proposed curb design on Orange Avenue adjacent to Tract
6839, which is located between Valley View and Graham Street on the south side
of Orange Avenue. The report stated that this action was taken following a
presentation which was made by Mr. Lee Goldin representing the Larwin Coupany
as the developer of the subject tract, which questioned the traffic safety
features of the new curb design and restrictions which the curb design would place
on the flow of traffic on Orange Avenue. The report then outlined the chronological
history of the improvement requirements for the subject tract and the recommandatior
provided by the Townscape and Urban Design consultants. The report further indicat~
that the Planning Department contacted Mr, S~eve Street, City Manager for the
City of Rosemead, in reference to traffic problems created by the construction
of parkway projections into the parking lane on Valley Blvd. in the City of Rosemead,
and was informed that there had been no traffic problems in the three years that
the projections have been in existence~
The Plannin~ Director then presented slides showing the scalloped curb design
treatment in other cormnunities and a diagram showing the proposed curb design
for Orange Avenue. The Planning Director explained that this treatment along
Orange Avenue would be a method of implementing the Townscape Plan on a small
scale, He stated that at 8ome future date, should the City deterxmtne that it
is a desirable design, other sections of Orange Avenue could be installed using the
concept.
In answer to an inquiry from Councilman Harvey, the Planning Director indicated
that maintenets of the curbing would come under the City's maintenance program.
In response to an inquiry from Councilman Robarts, the Planning Director stated
that the treatment could be applied to both sides of the street in the distant
future, should it be desirable.
Mr~ Lee Goldin, Vice-President of the Larwin Company, 9300 Wllshire Blvd., Beverly
Hill~ California, addressed the Council stating that the proposed curb, in his
opinion, is a potential hazard, as Orange Avenue is a relatively heavily used
street. Mr. Goldin suggested that am experiment of this nature should be
done on a temporary basis at another location. Mr. Goldin indicated that the
- 15 -
City Council Minutes August 10, lg70""' "'~
plans for constructing the scalloped curb are complete, and that in fact, it would
be more of an expense to his company to ~ back and start over than to ~o ahead
with the scalloped treatment. He then requested that his company be granted a
waiver of liability for any injuries which might be caused by the public improvements.
Mr. Goldin indicated that his company gave its consent for landscape improvements
on the street; however, the engineers did not have any knowledge of the
different treatment other than it was to be an improved street with additional
planting, irrigation, etco
In responeeto an inquiry from Mayor Kanel, the City Manager indicated that there
was an awareness that there would be different treatment of this portion of
Orange Avenue in conjunction with the Townscape Program; however, there
probably was a question as to when the precise development plan was presented
and agreed upon between the engineering division and the developer.
Following discussion relative to the safety of the curbing, and the possible
difficulties one might have in parking at such a curb, it was moved by Councilman
Rober~s and seconded by Counci!ma~Kanodeto receive and file the report dated
August 6, 1970, which will allow the street improvements to be installed as required
on landscape and improvement plans on Tract 6839.
Councilman Kenode stated that the City of Cypress, does at times, try various schemes
that do not always work, and felt that there was some question as to the safetyZ
however, until the City has some experience with something of this nature, it would
be difficult to ascertain the true value.
Councilman Harvey stated that the City has had a history of being innovative; however,
he felt that Orange Avenue does carry a considerable amount of traffic which may
increase, and that although it is a relatively short distance, he would have
reservations concerning this matter, and would be inclined to vote in opposition to
it at this time.
In answer to a question from Councilmam~ Kenode, Mr. Goldin indicated that the
LaYwin Company is ready to construct the improvementsZ however, felt that the
implementation of this portion of the Townscape Program was premature since Public
Hearings on the program are still being held.
Councilman Roberrs explained that should the proposed curb treatment fail for some
reason, the curb would be changed back to a standard curb at expenseto the City,
and, he further indicated that he felt that if the City did not make this kind
of experiment at the present time, =hat it would not be done in the future with
any degree of ease or obJectivity.
