X. OLD BUSINESS (Agenda Order)
1. ROOSTERS
Mayor Pontious announced that, at the request of several
members of the audience, this item would be taken out of
agenda order.
Dana Ogdon, Senior Planner, reported that on March 2, 1992,
the Council received a petition signed by forty-six Old Town
residents requesting the Municipal Code be amended to permit
roosters in the City. At the direction of Council, the
Planning Commission reviewed the issue and recommended
maintaining the existing Code prohibiting roosters. He
summarized the options presented to the Planning Commission,
including a possible solution submitted by resident, Jeff
Thompson. Mr. Thompson proposed the roosting areas be fully
enclosed with solid construction material; which would
restrict light and, therefore, reduce rooster crowing.
The following members of the audience spoke in favor of
permitting roosters in the Old Town area:
W. S. Leinberger, 445 West Main Street, Tustin
Connie Check, 335 W. 3rd Street, Tustin
Nancy Prescott, 230 S. "A" Street, Tustin (also read note
from Eleanor A. Tafoya, 245 S. "A" Street, Tustin)

Jesse Ezell, 365 W. 6th Street, Tustin
Ken Ezell, 365 W. 6th Street, Tustin (video tape
presentation)
Jeff Thompson, 415 W. 6th Street, Tustin
Mayor Pro Tem Potts stated that citizen complaints regarding
rooster crowing must be addressed, but he favored a compromise
permitting roosters under certain restrictions. However, if
complaints continued, only devocalized roosters should be
allowed in the City.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 3, 5-4-92
It was moved by Potts, seconded by Thomas, to allow roosters
with the following restrictions: limiting the lot size on
which roosters can be kept to a minimum of 15,000 square feet;
containing roosters in a certain confined area; limiting the
confined area to a minimum of 100 feet from any dwelling
structures; screening the confined area from the view of
neighboring dwelling structures through the use of solid
fencing, vegetation, etc.; and continued complaints would
result in an ordinance amendment to permit only devocalized
roosters.
Councilmember Saltarelli said that the sentiment of the Old
Town area to keep roosters was important; however, noise level
mitigation measures must be implemented. He stated he favored
permitting roosters with restrictions and monitoring by staff.
Councilmember Thomas stated he favored allowing the roosters
under the restricted conditions, and requested a monitoring
timeline.
Councilmember Puckett requested a monitoring timeline of 4-6
months and implementation of Mr. Thompson's suggestion of
enclosed light -tight coops at night.
Council/speaker (Mr. Thompson) discussion followed regarding
proposed setbacks and enclosures; devocalizing roosters;
light -tight coops; and utilizing sound proof materials for
coops.
Christine Shingleton, Assistant City Manager, stated that a
draft ordinance including a contingency plan for noise
complaints would be prepared and presented to Council in
approximately 30 days.
Mayor Pontious directed staff to present a status report to
Council in 6 months, and to work with all interested parties.
Motion carried 5-0.
Mayor Pontious commended the citizens for their interest and
concern regarding this issue.

There were no other speakers on the subject and the Public
Hearing was closed at 9:30 p.m.
Council/staff discussion followed regarding variance
mitigation measures.
Councilmember Puckett stated he was opposed to condominiums
north of Warren Avenue. He said the variances improved the
quality of the project, and he supported the project as
proposed.
Councilmember Thomas said he was opposed to multi -family
dwellings in the subject area and believed that development
of four single-family units would maintain the neighborhood
atmosphere. He requested that landscape separation between
the sidewalks and walls be included in the plan.
Councilmember Saltarelli stated he supported the project for
the following reasons: it was a single-family residential
project compatible with the land use densities; condominium
project boundary at Warren Avenue; project would not set
precedent; environmental impacts had been mitigated; the
project would incorporate with the adjoining land; proposed
internal driveway; and legislative bodies should refrain from
over -regulating private property ownership rights. He said
he also supported perimeter wall landscaping.
Mayor Pro Tem Potts stated that he supported the project
because the adjoining resident approved of the proposed plan,
and he believed the project would enhance the neighborhood.
Mayor Pontious said that zone changes were extremely difficult
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 6, 5-4-92
issues and because she felt this project would set a precedent
for development patterns on Holt Avenue, she would oppose
approval of the project.
Christine Shingleton, Assistant City Manager, stated that
resolutions supporting Council approval of the project would
be presented at the May 18, 1992 Council meeting, with
inclusion of perimeter wall landscaping.
It was moved by Puckett, seconded by Saltarelli, to prepare
resolutions approving Zone Change 92-001, changing the zoning
designation of the subject property from E-4 (Residential
Estate District) to R-1 (Single Family Residential District);
approving vesting Tentative Parcel Map 91-288, creating four

developing four single family detached dwelling units;

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 9, 5-4-92
Mayor Pro Tem Potts stated his concern that approval of this item
would permit an even number of voting representatives on the
Corridor Agency Board of Directors, which could create voting
ties.
Robert Ledendecker, Director of Public Works, reported that four
cities had voted to approve the Board of Directors expansion; the
City of Irvine was opposed; and the remaining agencies were
uncommitted.
Council/staff discussion followed regarding whether a voting
majority or unanimous vote of cities was necessary to approve this
item.
William Huston, City Manager, summarized the background of why the
County of Orange had two voting representatives on the Board of
Directors.
Council/staff discussion followed regarding whether three County
representatives would allow an advantage for the County.
It was moved by Potts, seconded by Thomas, to deny approval of
Resolution No. 92-62.
William Huston, City Manager, stated that because the west leg of
the corridor and the 91 Freeway joined in the 4th District, the
County felt that a member should represent the 4th District.

the May 18 Council meeting to acquire additional information

representatives to the Board of Directors.

additional information.
William Huston, City Manager, stated that the Agency wanted seven
cities to approve this item by May 14, 1992, to allow the new
member to vote on the Environmental Impact Report. He said that
since the alignment decisions had been made, adding one board
member would not make a difference; and continuation of this item

a warrant study for the subject intersection. The results of
the study indicated that a traffic signal or all -way stop
controls were not warranted at this time.
Councilmember Thomas stated his concern regarding the pepper
tree visually impairing motorists on First Street; and
questioned whether installation of a signal at this

if Redevelopment funds would be allocated in the future.
William Huston, City Manager, replied that staff was
recommending Council review the matter after the First Street
bridge reopened to ascertain whether the intersection
warranted a traffic signal at that time.
Council/staff discussion followed regarding pedestrian safety,
utilizing Redevelopment funds for signal installation, and
