but that the Conditional Use Permit be modified subject to certain conditions, which
were also contained in the report.

conditions which have been complied with, and an approximate time-table in which he

permits for any modification to the sidewalk and curb would coma from the State

street would be acceptable to the City.

to the drainage, the Public Works Director indicated that if there would not be
a concentrated flow of drains8· over the sidewalk, it would be acceptable to the
Engineering Department. Re indicated that at the present time, however, a permit
would have to be obtained from the State.

to modify the condition until the CitF can obtain a confirmation from the State
as to what they will allow, with this information to be brought to the City Council.
In answer to an inquiry from Councilmen1 Roberrs, Mr. Harrelson stated that the dirt
has been rough graded and is close to grade at this tim.
In answer to a question from Councilmen Harvey, Mr. Harrelson indicated that the
conditions were all acceptable, and stated that the aspbaltic concrete would be poured
as soon as the drainage problem is solved. Re further indicated that he would like

City Council Minutes
October 13, 1970
Councilman Kenode stated that when the matter was originally considered by the City
Council, he had reservations about giving up any com,~rcial property. He indicated
that he seconded the motion to adopt the Ordinance when this matter was last con-
sidered as he felt that the area would not develop cowwn~rcially; however, at this
time, he indicated, before any commercial property is sacrificed, he would prefer to
have the Planning CoM4 scion conduct a study of the cov,m~rcial areas within the City,
particularly the area in question, and the area at Orange Avenue and Valley View.
Therefore, he stated, he would be voting in opposition to the motion at this time.
Councilman Lacayo stated that he had voted in opposition to the adoption of the
Ordinance when the matter had previously been considered, however, after studying
the area in question and considering the feelings of the adjacent property owners, it
was his conclusion that he would be in favor of the zone change, as was recommended
by the Planning Conmission.
Councilman Harvey indicated that the matter had been thoroughly discussed when previously
considered by the Council, and that if a motion to deny the request had been
made at the time this matter was under consideration, it would have been approved
and the zone change would have failed. He further indicated that there has not
been any additional information expressed which would warrant additional consideration.
Mayor Kanel stated that he has been opposed to this particular zone change since the
matter was first considered, as he considered it to be premature at this time.
Councilman Roberrs urged a favorable vote on the motion, stating that he considered
the zone change to be in the best interests of the citizens.

suited for an R-3 development, and questioned whether the intention of the Council was
not to have multiple-family development within the City.
Councilman Kenode stated that should it be determined that the property would be
more suitable for a multiple-family development after it has been re-studied, the
matter could again come before the City Council either in one year's time, or
earlier, with the consent of the Council. He stated that this was not in any way,

on Item No. 17, regarding the report on weekly street sweeping. He stated that he
would like to go on record in opposition to weekly street sweeping, as he did not
consider the expense to be J ustified, and indicated that the funds could perhaps
be used for parks or another worth ~hile cause,

City C~"~i~ Minutes October 13, 1970
Councilman Roberrs indicated that the appearance of the City of Cypress is one of
the main goals of the Planning Comnission, and stated that there were a number of
reasons for the more frequent street sweeping including cleanliness. He strongly
urged that the weekly street cleaning be continued,
Councilman Harvey stated that with regard to Stem No. 28, he would approve the
authorization of the City Manager to enter into a contract with Mr. Cadtic White
for appraisal services to appraise the building and land as provided for in the
Resolution initiating the detachment proceedings adopted by the Cypress County
Water District Beard of Trustees.
CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF REPORT ON WEEKLY STREET SWEEPING: The City Manager
p~esented a ~epo~ 'da ' d 'September 24, 19~0, 'f*o& 'the Public Works Director, which
indicated that the City Council, during budget hearings, approved inclusion of funds
to provide for street sweeping on a weekly basis for two months on a trial basis. The
report stated that the streets appear to be visibly cleaner with the weekly sweeping
than they were with sweeping on the every other week basis and that the volume of
complaints have been reduced. The report continued, that there was some discussion
during the preliminary budget hearings relative to the merits of contract street
sweeping versus street sweeping with City owned sweepers. The City Manager advised
that he had been contacted by Mr. Dickson, who requested that if the Council continued
the current weekly sweeping program, that the charges be based on the hourly rate
rather than the curb mile rate which had been used for the trial period,, The City
Council, at its regular meeting of July 13, 1970, deferred consideration of a street
sweeping proposal by Mr. R. L. Baker until October of 1970, in order to review the results
of the weekly sweeping for two months, and that in the event the Council determines to
continue with contract sweeping, it maybe advisable to seek proposals on either a curb
mile basis or an hourly rate basis from the existing contractor and from Baker Sweeping
Service as suggested in the City Manager's report for the City Council meeting of
July 13, 1970o
Councilman Kanodeindicated that he would be inclined to favor the every other week
street sweeping, however, would be agreeable to continuing the weekly service for
a period of 30 days,
Councilman Lacayo stated that he would favor the 30 day continuance of the weekly
street sweeping service at this time as he had not seen an actual cost comparison,
Mro R. L~ Baker, Baker Sweeping Service, 4372 Jade Avenue, addressed the Council
inquiring as to the. status of the proposal which he had submitted.
The City Manager explained that it was a proposal and not a bid which was submitted
by Mr. Baker, and that before bids can be accepted, the level of service must be
determined.
In response to inquiries fromMayor Kanel, Mr. Baker stated that he has been in the
sweeping business for four years, and listed various places which he has swept, and
indicated that he has submitted bids to several cities.
In response to an inquiry from Councilman Lacayo, the City Manager indicated that
he did not have any survey information as to whether the citizens would prefer
the sweeping on a weekly or every other week basis.
Mrs. Marion Bakke, 5055 Brunswick Drive, Cypress, suggested that perhaps this item
could be placed in the next edition of the Newsletter.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilman Roberrs to continue
the weekly street sweeping service for a period of one month, and to instruct the
City Manager to conduct a survey of the City relative to this matter to be presented
to the City Council at its meeting of November 9, 1970. The motion was unanimously
carried by the following roll call vote:

CONSIDEREEION OF PROHIBITION OF OVERNIGHT PARKING qF LARGE TRUCKS: The City
Manager present~'d a"r~port dated October 5, 1970, which ~ndicated that at
its meeting of Septe~er 18, 1970, the Advisory Traffic Co~.m4ttee voted unanimously
to recormmend the adoption of an Ordinance by the City Council, prohibiting the
overnight parking of large trucks. The report indicated that Ordinances and enforcement
practices of other cities were reviewed and the Traffic Committee considered a number
of methods to accomplish an appropriate parking restriction; however, the remedies
were not feasible under the California Vehicle Code or the City Code, which prohibits
parking of large vehicles only on streets with a width of forty feet or less or on
wider streets where the vehicle is parked within fourteen feet of a painted lane line.
The report stated that a relatively new section of the California Vehicle Code
authorizes cities to prohibit the parking of vehicles between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.mo
without the necessity of extensive signing, which would appear to be the most
suitable solution to the problem, without creating additional difficulties.
Councilman Roberrs indicated that he was concerned due to the fact that quite often
truckers leave their trailers unattended on Moody Street. parked in front of the
library, thereby creating a total blind spot to those driving out of the area.
It was moved by Councilman Roberrs and seconded by Councilman Kenode to read the

CITY IN THE .CQI~.T~. QF.0.RANGE UNTIL STUDY BY THE COUNTY ~"RE~ COI~.L~TED: Councilman
Roberrs stated that the cities in~nediately adjacent to present county area in Orange
County which is being considered for incorporation as a city have unanimously prepared
statements to the Board of Regents of the University of California not to endorse at
this time, the proposed City of Irvine; but rather to wait until the studies which
have been instituted by Orange County as to the effect of this city on the entire
County are completed. Me stated that the Board of Regents are meeting on Friday,
October 16, 1970, and proposed that the City Council of Cypress draft a Resolution
urging the Board of Regents at the University of California not to endorse the
proposed City of Irvine until such time as the studies have been completed.
In answer to an inquiry from Mayor Kenel, Councilman Roberts stated that the Irvine
Corporation will request that the Board of Regents endorse the proposed city.
Following discussion regarding the effect that the incorporation of Irvine would have
on the County, Councilman Lacayo indicated that he felt that the Board of Regents should
not be supporting something that has not happened publicly.

City Council Minutes October 13, 1970
Councilman Kenode indicated that he considered those serving on the Board of
Regents to be very capable businessman as well as State political leaders who
would not act tmder circumstances that would not be in the best interests of the
University and the State as a whole. Me further indicated that for the City of
Cypress to interfere with the Board's Judgement would probably be taking a step
further than the City should take.
Mayor Kanel stated that he would not consider notification concerning this matter to the
Board from the City of Cypress to be interference, and indicated that an area
the size of Irvine would have quite an impact on the County, should it become a City.
At the request of Mayor Kanel, Cotmcilman Robarts read in full, the Resolution
