AIDS and AIDS-related social, educational and health issues.
They requested the City Council consider financial aid and
assistance to AIDS Walk Orange County.

XI. OLD BUSINESS (AGENDA ORDER)
5. ST. JEANNE DE LESTONNAC SCHOOL DRIVEWAY EVALUATION AND TRAFFIC'
SIGNAL STUDY
Councilman Prescott requested this item be heard out of agenda
order as a convenience to members of the audience.
Jerry Crabill, Traffic Engineer Consultant, reported that if both
the inbound and outbound school traffic occurred at Stoneglass,
the State criteria for a traffic signal would be satisfied. The
cost of the signal would be approximately $150,000 due to unusual
sight distance design requirements and the full joint use would
require an agreement between St. Jeanne's School and the
condominium association located off of Stoneglass. He also noted
that due to the Caltrans I-5 widening project, there was the
possibility that the current outbound school driveway may
eventually be closed.
Mayor Pro Tem Edgar supported the expenditure of funds for the
combined signal, but was concerned about the I-5 widening impact.
He said it was necessary to intelligently interface with Caltrans
so when the signal was installed, at a significant cost, it would
serve the needs of everyone and require no modifications due to
Caltrans widening the I-5.
It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Prescott, that staff study the'
project cooperatively with Caltrans, St. Jeanne De Lestonnac
School and the condominium owners; reach an agreement that will
meet the needs and concerns of everyone involved; and, upon
completion of the agreement, Council to authorize the expenditure
of funds for a combined traffic signal.
Barbara Maggio, 2011 Munton Circle, Tustin, representing St.
Jeanne's School, requested the speed limit be reduced to 30 miles
per hour on Main Street until the issue was resolved and asked
that their driveway be retained if at all possible.
Councilman Hoesterey noted that if the speed limit was set below
40 miles per hour, the City could not enforce speeding tickets
issued through radar.
Mayor Kennedy requested the Police Department continue to monitor
traffic in the school area and explore methods of reducing speed.
The motion carried 5-0.
VI. PUBLIC HEARING

1. EXXON APPEAL OF A PLANNING COMMISSION DETERMINATION ON EXPIRATION
OF USE PERMIT 87-6 FOR OFF-SITE BEER AND WINE SALES AT 14082 RED.—
HILL AVENUE
Christine Shingleton, Director of Community Development, gave a
detailed staff report containing the issuance history of Use
Permit 87-6, timelines and events leading to expiration of Use
Permit 87-6, and reasons for determination of expiration by the
Planning Commission.
Mayor Kennedy opened the Public Hearing at 7:45 p.m.
The following members of the community spoke in opposition to
upholding the Planning Commission's decision:

John Rochefort, 444 S. Flower Street, Los Angeles (attorney
representing Exxon Corporation)
Rick Blake, 2700 N. Main Street, Santa Ana (attorney
representing Exxon dealer, John Yegenian)
The following members of the community spoke in favor of
upholding the Planning Commission°s decision:
Ethel Reynolds, 10841 Thorley Road, Santa Ana (representing
.., Parents Who Care)
Robert Machado, 1352 Mauna Loa Road, Tustin
There were no other speakers on the subject and the Public
Hearing was closed at 8:10 p.m.
It was moved by Hoesterey seconded by Kennedy, that the City
Council, by Minute Motion, uphold the Planning Commission
decision that Use Permit 87-6 expired on June 1, 1988.
Mayor Pro Tem Edgar felt the issue was simply that the Use Permit
had expired, the opportunity did exist for requesting an
extension of the permit, and that opportunity was not taken
advantage of in a timely manner.
Mayor Kennedy said Use Permits were issued on a one-year basis
to allow the City time to carefully review the impact of the use
upon the community. When Exxon received their initial Use Permit
approval, the form notifying them of the approval stated the one-
year limitation and the City Code requires renewal two months
prior to expiration. She noted that other Use Permits had
expired under similar conditions and the City did not allow an
extension after the expiration date.
Councilman Kelly commented on the following: the Council majority
�... indicated their decision on the abortion clinic issue was
influenced by the possibility of a lawsuit against the City and,
using that same criteria on this Use Permit matter, they should
rule in favor of the applicant; protest and ABC poll statistics;
irrelevant time schedules used by staff; and granting of other
extensions resulted in unfair treatment of this applicant. He
did not want to take a "hard line" on this issue.
As a substitute motion, it was moved by Kelly, seconded by
Prescott, that the City Council, by Minute Motion, reverse the
Planning Commission decision that Use Permit 87-6 expired on June
1, 1988.
The substitute motion failed 2-3, Kennedy, Edgar and Hoesterey
opposed.
The original motion carried 3-2, Kelly and Prescott opposed.
John Rochefort requested that the City Council make findings of
fact in this matter.
James Rourke, City Attorney, responded that proposed findings
would be presented to the City Council at their meeting on June
19, 1989. 81

COMPANY)
Christine Shingleton, Director of Community Development, reviewed the
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 5, 6-5-89
specific details and boundaries of the proposed subdivision which
would subdivide the last phase of the East Tustin project. She
highlighted two particular issues regarding individual Sectors: (1)
only a 3 acre portion of the 5.7 acre site of the proposed
neighborhood park located in Sector 2 was required to be dedicated
with the remaining 2.7 acre portion to be reserved with the
understanding that should the 2.7 acre site not be necessary due to
total dwelling unit counts and City parkland dedication requirements,
the 2.7 acres could ultimately be developed as residential, (2)
staff had received correspondence from residents requesting the
following: that the maximum dwelling unit count in theareasadjacent to them on a small 14 acre site (lot 26) in a portion of
Sector 4 and 5 be reduced from 5 dwelling units per acre to 4
dwelling units per acre, the minimum lot sizes be 10,000 square feet
and that the building heights be limited to single story structures.
She noted that staff did not feel that the Sector -map level was the
appropriate level to impose these conditions and the Planning
Commission along with staff would meet with residents at the site
prior to processing builder -level maps to insure that resident
concerns were addressed when the actual time for site planning
occurred.
The following members of the community expressed concerns regarding
the proposed development:
Judy Almquist, 2281 Pavillion Drive, Santa Ana
William Collins, 2261 Pavillion Drive, Santa Ana
Carl Greenwood, 2102 Racquet Hill, Santa Ana
Their concerns included: 20 ft. berm adjacent to properties, loss
of privacy, decreased property values, possibility of street abutting
the end of Racquet Hill, density of housing, single story
restrictions, and preservation of natural look of the Tustin Hills
area.
r.., Christine Shingleton responded that the issues pertain to precise
grading, lot size, maximum building height, and street layout of
individual builder -level parcels that would be created. For that
reason, the issues should be appropriately addressed at the level
where those decisions were made. She assured the City Council that
staff had commitments from the Irvine Company, p y, with letters to that
effect transmitted to residents, that concerns would be addressed
and during the Design Review of those specific builder parcels, staff
would give particular attention to details insuring that the
residents' concerns were dealt with properly.
Jennings Pierce, Jr., representing Foothill Community Builders, had
requested Item No. 8 removal from the Consent Calendar to discuss
reservation vs. dedication of the neighborhood park in Sector 2.
Foothill Community Builders felt it was inappropriate to require
actual dedication, rather than reservation, as a condition to the
recordation of this sector -level map.
Mayor Pro Tem Edgar was concerned that Council comply with the
existing ordinance which uses a mathematical equation to satisfy
park dedication requirements and in reviewing the data concluded that
the 3 acre dedication and 2.7 acre reservation were appropriate.
He suggested that, after development was completed, there was the
possibility that certain school sites would not be developed and
could be converted into residential sites and language indicating
that entitlement could be incorporated into the Resolution.
Christine Shingleton noted the language change in Planning Commission
Resolution No. 2603, in the event that the dedication exceeded the
parkland requirements of the City ordinance, allowed the builder to
use parkland credit and transfer it to a site for which there may be
modification of the land use designation, such as an unused school
site.
Mayor Kennedy stated that according to the East Tustin Specific Plan,
four neighborhood parks were required with a minimum of 3 acres each,
and for that reason supported the dedication. There was a
possibility that the 2.7 acres would also be needed at a later date,
but if that proved false due to decreased density, which the Council
encouraged, then appropriate credit would be due the developer.

5. SANTA ANA (I-5) FREEWAY WIDENING AND I-5/RTE 55 INTERCHANGE
RECONSTRUCTION
Councilman Prescott voiced concern regarding Caltrans' partial
procurement of property leaving the remaining portion of land
undevelopable.
Christine Shingleton, Director of Community Development,
responded that the Community Development Department and the
Public Works Department had been working together for several
months regarding problems magnified by the I-5 Freeway,
acquisition program. She cited situations where acquisitions had
resulted in small, remnant pieces of property that were not
-
consistent with City zoning standards and the responsibility for
compliance was placed with the property owner. Staff, in their
conversations with Caltrans, had found Caltrans to be
unresponsive in addressing individual property concerns. Staff
suggested that property owners be noticed with the subject letter
and urged property owners to meet with staff prior to reaching

4. REVERE HOUSE RESTAURANT SIGN AND 55 FREEWAY WIDENING
Councilman Edgar was concerned about the relocation of the Revere
House restaurant sign following widening of Rte. 55 and, because
its current size was larger than permitted by City Code, wanted
to preserve the sign through a grandfathering clause.
Christine Shingleton, Director of Community Development, stated
r..,l staff had represented to the property owner that variance
findings relate to the unusual size and shape of a parcel and in
review of this particular parcel discover those findings could
be supported. There would be a process under the Code that the
applicant would have to complete and staff would assist the
property rtY owner during that time.
Councilman Prescott noted the similarities between this issue and
denial of Variance No. 89-1 (request by Eugene Tutt to construct
two double-faced billboards).
Christine Shingleton suggested that the City Attorney's opinion
be obtained prior to agendizing a report on the Revere House
sign. She noted that the two issues differed in that the Revere
House sign would be a relocation of an existing sign rather than
new construction as in the Tutt billboard matter.
