PUBLIC INPUT - USE PERMIT 83-28 (1011 LAGUNA ROAD) Jack Miller, 17352 Parker Drive, spoke in opposition to Use Permit 83-28 (authorization to operate a convenience market including the off-sale of beer and wine, and to install three 6,000-gallon above- grade petroleum storage tanks) which was approved by the Planning Com- mission on December 12, 1983, and urged the Council's denial of same. Mr. Miller cited objections as follows: the proximity of the project to Tustin High School; the TUSD Board of Education has not had an opportunity to act on the request; it poses too great a convenience for !obtaining alcoholic beverages - not only to students, but truck drivers returning to the public streets and highways; and he quoted statistics of drunk-driving related deaths in the Nation. Margaret Grei nke, 230 South "A" Street, applicant/owner, described the proposed operations of the convenience market and assured the Council that scrutiny would be practiced by office personnel in the sale of alcoholic beverages. Mr. Miller emphasized his major concern is that allowing a convenience market selling alcoholic beverages contradicts the message of recent series of meetings to educate students about "chemical people" - those who abuse alcohol and drugs. Council/staff discussion followed, with Mrs. Greinke and Mr. Miller participating and responding to Council questions. The motion by Edgar to table any further discussion on this issue died ,-- for lack of a second. It was then moved by Edgar, seconded by Saltarelli, to uphold the find- ings of the Planning Commission approving Use Permit 83-28. After further discussion, the motion carried 3-1, Greinke abstaining, Kennedy dissenting on the basis of lack of input from the Board of Education. 81 Councilman Greinke assured the Council and ;audience that his family is proud of their name and reputation, and they would never do anything to harm the community.

I TO USE PERMIT 80-3 -TUSTIN COMMERCE CENTER PHASE II, BURNETT-EHLINE CO. (18352-18376 IRVINE BLVD .) The Community Development Director presented the staff report and recommendation as contained in the inter-com dated December 19, 1983, prepared by the Community Development Department, and responded to Council questions regarding parking requirements (including compact car parking), ingress/egress from the project onto Irvine Boulevard, and utility undergrounding. The public hearing was opened by Mayor Hoesterey at 7:57 p.m. Phillip Schwartze, applicant representative, spoke in favor of Amendment No. I to Use Permit 80-3, and responded to Council ques- tions. Jim Vecchio, property owner on the southwest corner of Irvine and Newport Boulevards, expressed concern that the proposed project is not architecturally compatible with his existing Spanish tile roof building, and requested that Council take same into consideration. There being no other speakers on the matter, the public hearing was closed at 8:13 p.m. It v~s moved by Greinke, seconded by Edgar, to uphold the findings of the P1 anning Commission approvi ng Amendment No. 1 to Use Permit 80-3 and direct the developer to consider negotiating to purchase the City's right-of-way for driveway access from Newport Avenue. Council/staff discussion followed regarding an access driveway off of Newport Avenue. The Director of Public Works stated that it is staff's position that a driveway should not be cut into Newport Avenue for the following reasons: 1) The bike trail was con- structed off-street with as much protected access as possible. 2) If a driveway is cut into Newport, the location would be crucial. A driveway opposite ingress/egress to Packers Square, or with left-turn access from any opening on Newport, would create confu- sion and cross-traffic on Newport. Staff recommends that any driveway be located where it would have only Mght-turn ingress/ egress and no cross-traffic on Newport. 3) With traffic volumes expected to increase on Newport Avenue, the least amount of access to and from that street will help move traffic more efficiently. 4) A driveway would ~iminate at least four parking spaces. The City Attorney noted that in addition to safety aspects, the City purchased the bike trail property from the railroad company for a sufficient sum, and he would recommend against quitclaiming access through same. After further discussion, the motion carried 5-0. 81 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 3, 12-19-83 3.

Terese Arndt, 535 South "B" Street, owner of property northerly of the proposed project, stated she was informed at the Planning Com- mission that the plans would be flipped so that the building does not abut her property, and she wished to be reassured that same would be approved by Council. Charles Anderson, 255 West Sixth Street, southerly of the proposed project, requested the fencing between properties and windows be high enough for privacy purposes. Additionally, Mr. Anderson reported a rodent problem, which Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy indicated she would refer to the Orange County Vector Control District. r*- Walter Fredriksen, 12912 Dean Street, project applicant, spoke in favor of Use Permit 83-24 as originally applied for as a five-unit two-story apartment building based on full compliance with existing codes.
