CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF STUDY OF POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO
ELIMINATE NOISE PROBLEMS AT THE CYPRESS PLAZA EAST SHOPPING CENTER
(MERVYN'S, ALBERTSONS ETC.): A staff report was presented dated January 17, 1986
summarizing a neighborhood meeting held by staff on January 15, 1986, to gather local
homeowners' input regarding the noise problems they were experiencing from the adjacent
Cypress Plaza East Shopping Center and to discuss possible solutions to mitigate the noise.
The two alternative solutions discussed were the installation of a 12 -foot high block wall and
administrative controls. The consensus of the homeowners was that increasing the height of
the wall between the shopping center and their properties would not substantially reduce the
City Council Minutes January 27, 1986
problems. Additionally, the residents indicated that the problems experienced all occur at
night after 8:00 p.m. and before 7:00 a.m., and requested increased police patrols behind the
shopping center. It was recommended that the Council direct staff to work closely with the
adjoining residents and shopping center businesses to resolve the noise problems and to
provide the Council with a progress report in six months.
19
Following discussion, it was moved by Mayor Pro-tem Mullen and seconded by Councilman
Coronado to direct the City Attorney to draft an Ordinance relating to the Commercial -
General Zone prohibiting trash collection in the early morning hours; the ban of truck parking
along the fence, as well as overnight; prohibiting the operation of the street sweeper and
blower in the evening and early morning hours; and making it illegal to continuously operate a
refrigeration truck at that location. The Chair so ordered the motion as stands.
CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF COMPATIBILITY OF CABLE READY VIDEO
EQUIPMENT WITH THE CYPRESS CATV SYSTEM: Assistant City Manager David Barrett
presented the staff report dated January 21, 1986, clarifying the issue of compatibility of
cable -ready video equipment with the Cypress CATV system. He indicated that cable -ready
sets can only be used by subscribers wanting the lowest tier of basic service. Pay services
and expanded basic service tiers are only available with the use of the cable company's
converter box, which is universal. Copley /Colony has indicated that although they will allow
direct connection to cable ready sets, they do discourage it, not only because of the problems
with channel designation and poor quality reception, but also because they scramble most of
the popular basic services.
Cheryl Roderiques, General Manager of Copley /Colony, clarified that cable -ready does not
mean cable compatibility. She addressed the three reasons why the company recommends
using a cable converter with cable -ready televisions and VCR's when subscribing to basic
cable services.
Councilman Partin expressed concern that many complaints will be received when it is known
that cable -ready equipment cannot be used with the system and indicated that this should be
publicized before any other equipment purchases are made.
Councilman Coronado suggested that the next Newsletter published contain information
warning the citizens of the problems.
Ms. Roderiques indicated that sales to date are at 40% and that the system should be
completely operational by the end of February, 1986. She concluded by adding that the
studio is finished and operational.
Mr. Barrett reminded the Council of the public meeting, which will be held on January 29,
1986, at 7:30 p.m., at the Community Center, to inform the various community groups of
public access programming.
CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF STUDY OF POSSIBLE RE- STRUCTURING OF
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FEES TO DESIGNATE MAJOR AND MINOR CATEGORIES: It
was moved by Mayor Pro-tem Mullen and seconded by Councilman Coronado to continue this
item to enable Mayor Lacayo to be present. Hearing no objections, the Chair so ordered it
continued.
CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF REPORT ON MAINTENANCE CONDITIONS IN
DISTRICT NO. 41, NORTH OF ORANGEWOOD AVENUE: Public Works Director Bob
Beardsley presented a staff report dated January 20, 1986 addressing the concerns expressed
by several residents of the tract bounded by Valley View Street, Orangewood Avenue, Holder
Street, and the Stanton Channel. Mr. Beardsley showed a video presentation addressing the
concerns, which were immediately investigated by staff. Those concerns were lack of
landscape maintenance and general cleaning of Valley View and Orangewood parkways, which
he indicated could be due to the lack of sufficient personnel in the maintenance department
at this time; deterioration of streets and damage caused by utility cuts, especially those for
cable television conduits, adding that the area will be considered for repair of failed street
sections and a slurry seal or asphalt overlay in FY 86 -87; lack of sand in the play areas at the
park, which will be resolved; condition of parkway tree at 11428 Madeira Street, which would
be removed with the next contract in approximately 6 months; and the leaking hydraulic lines
on trash collection trucks, which the City Manager has researched.
Mr. Essex indicated that Briggeman Disposal had reported one hydraulic spill and Councilman
Partin indicated that the trucks are often leaking the hydraulic fluid.

CONSIDERATION OF PARTICIPATION IN THE FORUM III TRANSPORTATION SEMINAR
SPONSORED BY THE ORANGE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION: Mr. Essex
summarized the staff report dated January 22, 1986. The Council has been invited to
participate in FORUM III which is a seminar scheduled for March 27 at Goldenwest College
to discuss the transportation issues of the cities and communities of West Orange County.
The Commission requested that the Council designate a person to serve on the FORUM III
Advisory Committee; submit a list of ten names of individuals who would make an important
contribution to FORUM III; and assist in offsetting the cost of the FORUM by committing an
amount of $500 towards the estimated conference cost of $25,000.
Following discussion, it was moved by Mayor Pro -tem Mullen and seconded by Councilman
Partin to appoint Mayor Pro-tem Mullen as the Advisory Committee member, with
Councilman Coronado as the alternate; that the five Traffic Commissioners and the
Executive Director and President of the Chamber of Commerce attend the meeting, with the
remaining three citizens to be chosen at the February 10 Council meeting; and to authorize
