Bonner requesting a 30 day continuation to allow his company time to reconsider feasibility and plan changes involving the density as submitted to the Tustin Planning Commission on May 27th. ~ayor Coco stated the hearing would be opened at this time for those who do wish to make their feelings known. If the Council so desires, the hearing will be deferred and the public portion will remain open so that when the hearing reconvenes 30 days from now, there will be an opportunity to speak. If anyone speaks at this hearing tonight, it will be with the understanding that Mr. Bonner is not here at this time. Hearing opened at 7:36 P.M. Mr. Gordon Kimbrough of i7411 Bonner Drive, stated that a representative of Mr. Bonner is here and the people in his area have taken the time to come out to see this resolved one way or the other. He saw no reason why the representative could not take Mr. Bonner's place. Council Minutes 6/17/68 Pg. 2 Mayor Coco stated that the public hearing is held so that the Council can hear bcth sides of an issue, and if anyone wished to speak tonight, he is more than welcome to=do so. If anyone prefers to defer until Mr. Bonner is present, that is also their privilege. Mr. Kimbrough deferred further comments to a later time. There being no further conments or objections, Mayor Coco requested the ~leasure of the Council. Councilman Mack stated that at the request of the proponent and in the hope of receiving the full story, he would make the following motion. Moved by Mack, seconded by Klingelhofer that the Council defer any abtion on this matter and continue the hearing for 30 days to the July 15th meeting_. Councilman Mack stated that he is in co~nptete sympathy with the people present, but he was sure they would want both sides of the story to be heard. Councilman Miller stated that there was a similar situation with Mr. Bonner a year or two ago where he changed to a lower density. If this could be the case again, he would favor renoticing for the hearing so that all those concerned will be sent notices. Mayor coco so directed. Councilman Miller asked if anyone had petitions they wished to file at this meeting. No petitions were filed. Mr. Kimbrough asked that in light of vacations in the next few months, this be deferred for 90 days. Mr. Hicks, representative of Mr. Bonner, said that a 90 day continuance would be fine. Motion and second withdrawn. Moved by Mack that the hearing be deferred for 90 ~__ays to the September 16th meeting. Mr. Rourke stated that as he understands this letter, Mr. Bonner is suggesting that he may be coming in with a different request or density, and if that is so, it might be something that should be reapplied for and reviewed by the Planning Commission. In the past we have come up with these things at the last minute.which has been hard for the staff to handle. It mioht be better to take this off the calendar and let the applicant reapply. Mr. Rourke felt that this might be more'appropriate. Above motion died for lack of second. Moved by Klingelhofer, seconded b~ Miller that Zone Change application of C. J. Bonner be dismissed with no action. Motion carried. Council Minutes 6/17/68 Pg. 3 2.

Council Minutes 6/17/68 Pg. 4 RESOLUTION NO. 946 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN ADOPTING THE CITY BUDGET AND APPROPRIATING REVENUE OF THE CITY FOR THE 1968-69 FISCAL YEAR. Hearing opened at 7:55 P.M. There being no comments or objections, the hearing was declared closed at 7:56 P.M. Councilman Mack stated that the staff had done a '~antastic job with the fuhds available. They have been able to present a balanced budget with no increase in taxes. Moved by Mack, seconded bX Marsters that Resolution No. 946 be read by title only. Councilman Miller pointed out that the total appropriation of all funds for the City Budget is $1,268,605. The Council lowered the tax rate last year and were able to do so because there were some subventions and tax benefits that came to the City from the State, and rather than just take those and add on, the Council took the opportunity to lower the tax rate to the-point where our tax rate is now the lowest in Orange County. The City carries a reserve fund which is enough to pay one month's expenses so that we will not find ourselves in any financial difficulty such as some cities in the County have had. The Council has also instructed the staff not to present one of these budgets that is way over the anticipated revenue so that we can save ourselves and the public the agony of having to go through the search to reduce the budget and start off with a conservative balanced budget with reserve to cover contingencies and unforeseen circumstances. Above motion carried unanimously. '- Moved by Mack, seconded by Miller that Resolution No. 946, adopting the City Budget and appropriating revenue of the City for the 1968-1969 fiscal year, be passed and adopted. Carried by roll call. Ayes: Coco, Mack, Klingelhofer, Miller, Marsters. Noes: None. Absent: None. Councilman Mack stated that even though the taxes were not raised, we did increase and improve all the other services that the City provides. VII. OLD 1. ORDINANCE NO. 405 - Cont'd. from 6/3/68 BUSINESS AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, REZONING PROPERTY ON APPLICATION ZC 68-175 OF BROOMELL. To rezone approximately 2.33 acres from PD-3500 to C-1 and R-3-1900. Site fronts 164 feet on the North side of 17th Street, 620 feet on the West side of Yorba Street and 164 feet on the South side of Medford Avenue. Council Minutes 6/17/68 Pg. 5 ~ayor Coco explained that this zone change was continued from the June 3rd meeting in order to allow the Council to obtain some additional infor- mation on past actions on this particular piece of property a few years ago and the con~ittmen~s and promises and statements that were made at that time. The Council has received the information that was asked for and at this time, the discussion among the Council will be continued. In answer to questioning by Councilman Marsters, Mr. Sup~in_ger stated that ~he Planning Commission vote on this matter was 3 to 2 for approval. One Commissioner was absent, and the Comn~j. ssion was short one member at that time. .... Councilman Marsters stated that he felt strongly that PD-3500 is proper zoning and that he does not like the commercial frontage along Seventeenth Street. He would rather see it zoned professional, and is in disfavor of opening it up for gas stations. Councilman Mack stated that one of the things he found out in reading the material is that we are comparing in many discussions, certain uses such as Tree Haven and the RP zoning on the opposite side of Yorba Street on Seventeenth. He pointed ou~ that the corner, presently zoned RP under County zoning, can go into business uses. Regardless of what the City does, it can be advertising agencies, travel agencies, · convalescent hospitals, etc. Under the City pro- fessional, it ~s strictly professional zone. The other factor is that if the Council considers the proposal under the higher density ~e by the proponents of 40 units as to the plot and building plans, there would be a percentage of 35.5% of land covered by buildings. Tree Haven Development has 37.8% of land covered. Assuming that the Council left this at PD-3500 zoning, they could build 22 units and assuming that they would have to go to three bedroom units, which would be 1,350 square feet per unit, that would mean approximately 88 people living in this complex and under the 40 units proposed of the 1,900 square foot per unit or 1,143 per living area, it would also come to 88 people but with no children factor. In 1964, Councilman Mack stated, he voted in favor of zoning the entire parcel, knowing that some day we would be faced with this zoning again. He stated his feelings have not changed and believes this proposal will not detract from the area and that the commercial on Seventeenth Street is not · going to detracE because of the commercial uses allowed across the street in the County, which they did against the City's wishes, and he is in favor of thms application. Councilman Miller stated he had reviewed past actions and is still concerned with what might happen along. Seventeenth Street. He notea that of the names on the petitions filed at the last meeting, 49 separate pieces of property are represented in the City, most of which, are adjacent to the piece of property. He Council Minutes 6/17/68 Pg. 6 stated~ he did not feel it~o be in the.best interest of th~City to approve th~l~ zone change. The higher density would present parking problems as R-3 zone is not adequate as far as parking standards. Instead of C-1 on the corner, he would like no higher usage than in the City Pr zone.- something similar to that on Fourth Street. Councilman Marsters stated that if they must consider for comnercial, he felt that Pr would be the control. -Councilman Kliqgelhofer ~tated that over the past years, he was involved in the Ralphs controversy. The original zoning on these parcels before us this evening was part of the reason Ralphs was approved. There was somewhat of a generalized agreement that they be zoned what they are today and try to make an honest effort to establish a buffer at this point. Councilman Klingelhofer said he still feels that if a gas station is permitted on this corner, the County is going to put one on the opposite corner. Then buffering would have to be established further down Seventeenth Street and this eventually does develop a strip zoning. We must' have some type of community agreement. He said he spoke to many who were involved in the annexation that recently failed in this general region that we were striving to eliminate further commercial on this street. He would be in favor of a Pr zone on the corner and as far as the Planned Development, if this is at all economically feasible, he is for it. In answer to questioning, Councilman Marsters said that in his opinion, PD would be economically feasible. Moved by Ktingelhofer, seconded by Marsters that the PD-3500 remain as zoned and the C-1 portion be rezoned to the Pr zone. Councilman Mack stated he could not vote for this motion on the basis that these people who do this type of work study it for a long time before they come to a conclusion that property is suitable for a particular type of development and cannot vote arbitrarily on a given parcel of "X" number of feet that it should be Pr instead of C-1. It is placing an unfair burden on the land owner to have to try to fit pieces to the puzzle after the fact and he is against this motion. Mayor Coco felt this to be a point well taken in any attempt to rezone on the spur of the moment. He stated he believes in allowing the applicant to have the flexibility of coming before the Council for a possible compromise application if this were to be denied at this point. On questioning by Councilman Marsters, Mr. John Stanley, representing the applicant, said he hadn't had a chance to speak to his clientsl but his inclination would be that Councilman Mack's remarks would be well taken. Some of the Council have expressed themselves that C-1 would not be appropriate and he felt that it would be in order Council MinuEes 6/17/68 Pg. 7 that if this application were turned down and if his c~ients find other users, then an additional new application be brought in. Moved by Klingelhofer, seconded by Marsters that the above motion be amended to ~.e~l~. this zone ~hange application. Councilman Miller clarified that Councilman klingelh~{~r's and his comments were based on a prezoning for annexation and all the committmerlhs that they made at the time on what they thought was the proper ].and use for that piece of property. Councilman Miller stated he felt that the repre- -senrations he made on behalf of the City are a matter of principle and it is very hard to get around it. The circumstances do not look that -different. Above motion carried by roll call. Ayes: Marsters, Miller, Klingelhofer, Coco. Noes: Mack. Absent: None. 2.

REQUEST FOR TIME BEFORE THE COUNCIL REGARDING 1968 SUMMER RECREATION PROGRAM - Mrs. Sipple and Mrs. Lavelie Mrs. Sippie_ requested reinstatement of the old recreation program with supervised play on school grounds. This year it 'appears that day camps have Council Minutes 6/17/68 Pg. 10 been progranm~ed rather than the supervised play. Three days of one week out of the sunm~er will not keep the children occupied, and Mrs. Sipple said she is worried about the chj. ldren in the __ streets and damage caused to schools and other property by the children being unsupervised most of the sunm~er. Most of the damage will be accidental, but it could be done away with if someone was on the premises. Most of the parents she had talked to are very happy with the recreation department in the past and would like to have a coordinating committee set up so that they can have a return to this program~ if possible, this summer. She said she had talked to Mr. Gill and there is a meeting set up for Wednesday morning, June 19th, at 10:00 A.M. Mrs. Sipp!e said she had an article from the Tustin ~ews where Mr. Gill, in speaking of the budget, said that two parks with play and picnic equipment, land purchases for parks in the north central and southern areas of the City and the center island planrings were discontinued and full-time director of Parks and Recreation was deleted this year. Also, that the City .will complete programs begun in recent years as well as add new programs. The program she has been talking about has been in progress in the past and they would like a continuance of it. Perhaps interested parents could get together with the Council and pay a certain fee and not have the program done away with, without any prior notice. The new program is very inadequate. Mayor Coco stated that the Council also recognizes that this program is inadequate. This is the first year that the City has had to remain within its own boundaries for the program. There has been no financial support from the County or public school districts. The City is engaged mn an intensive program to encourage this cooperation. Cooperation not only coming from the City, but the school district which we really all pay for as taxpayers within the school districts. We have received a briefing on programs that are going on in other parts of the country and if people, both City and County residents, would become familiar with these programs and see how school facilities could be used more than the 30% of the time that they are presently being used, we could have a much more comprehensive recreation program · and parks program. The cooperation between the City and the school districts is gomng to have to come at the insistence of the grass roots. In answer to Mrs. Sipple's request for a representative from the Council on a committee, Councilman Klingelhofer said he would like to see a representative of the Council at the meeting with Mr. Gill, representatives of the Parks and Recreation Commission, and Dr. Gaffey, Superintendent of the Elementary School District, on Wednesday. He hoped that Mrs. Sipple and Mrs. Lavelle would remain interested and help work out so~nething where it is not one governmental agency speaking to another, but where the citizens are interposed ~nd everyone ia working out a solution. Council Minutes 6/17/68 Pg. 11 Mayor Coco advised Mrs. Sipple that Mr. Gill w~uld be very helpful in suggesting the most effective way to get action. The City has, for the past few years, embraced County and City residents. This is the first year the City has restricted the program to City residents. The City is not happy about it~ some of the reasons for this restriction can be pointed out Wednesday by Mr. Gill and if there is a nuc].eous of people who actively fee]. that there should be expanded recreation, it is hoped that the Wednesday meeting will give some direction,. some importance and guidance. Councilman Miller stated that over the years the feeling of himself and the Council had been that: no one really cared wh~ther th6re wa~s a program or not. There had been complaints about it, and it was decided this year to do only tile things that had been well received by the City residents. It is regrettable that the City was not able to implement a program or did not understand the effects of the program. The Council exists to serve the residents of the City, and it is hope~ that through meetings such as the one scheduled, we will be able to come up with a good program. Councilman Miller t~anked Mrs. Sipple for being the first citizen to bring to the Council's attention and the School Board's attention a matter of vital concern which the Council had thought no one else cared about. ~ayor Coco stated it is helpful to get expressmons and to get this kind of feedback. The film on joint usage seen by the Council and Commissioners last Saturday will be available to City Hall and he will try to make it available to various citizens groups. 5. APPROVAL OF DEMANDS ~oved by Marsters, seconded by Mack that demands in the amount of $39,099.83 be approved. Carried. IX. OTHER 1. Personnel Session BUSINESS 9ouncilman Klingelhofer requested a short personnel session followmng this meeting. 2. ~eport from Street Renaming Committee Councilman Mack, Chairman of this Committee, reported that the Committee had gotten off to an enthusiastic start and would be meeting the first and third Mondays at 12:00 Noon at the Revere House. Members are selecting alternates to represent them at meetings in the event they themselves cannot attend. Councilman Mack said tha~ a news release had been given out which would list members names and phone numbers in the hopes that residents will contact them with any comments on this matter. 3. ~dequac_~ of Multiple Residential Parking Moved _b.~ Miller, seconded b_j Marstars that the Planning Commission be requested to s'tudy the parking reguire- ments in multiple residential zones j' Carried. Council Minutes 6/17/68 Pg. 12 4. Agricultural Land in Tax Holding District Councilman Miller stated that he had learned of a proposal the Irvine Company has made to the County to draw an aUreement under existing legislation on putting agricultural land in a holding district for a period of ten years at a significant reduction in tax rate. Much of this acreage is in the Tustin area and could affect the taxes in Tustin through the school districts. Upon the request of Councilman Miller, directed that a letter be sent to the Board of Supervmsors asking for information and time for study, and the City contact the Chamber of Commerce Legislative Committee for theirreview and request the Irvine Company for information on their side of this matter. 5. Board of S~pervisors Hearin~ on }]arbor District Councilman Klingelhofer requested that a representative of the City be present at this hearing on June t9th. 6. Commendation to Tustin Fireman Councilman Klingelhofer suggested that some form of connnendation from the Council go to the Fireman responsible for saving a life in a recent structural __ fire in the City. Matter referred to Mr. Gill for investigation and recommendation. 7. Commendation to Jay Cees Councilman Mack requested that a letter of conF~endation be sent to the Tustin Jay Cees for their efforts in the impressive Memorial Celebration on Fourth Street. Mayor Coco concurred and stated that this is the kind of thing that should be encouraged, also the symbol erected in memoriam to Senator Kennedy. 8. Detailed Transcripts Councilman Marsters said he wondered about the necessity of the detailed, time consuming transcripts of Planning Commission meetings. He thought; though pertinent to decisions the Council makes, perhaps the minutes could be adequate. ~_a~or Coco and Councilman Miller stated they appreciated the transcripts of all public hearings as they provide full coverage of significant points as well as flavor and insight. In answer to questioning, Mr. Gill said he did hoe believe many cities do have ~hese complete transcripts. The transcrjpts for this meeting required several evenings and Saturday work. After further discussion, it was decided to try to sum_n]arize hearings for the next few meetings with copies sent to Commissioners for any comments or clarifications, and if mandatory, a full transcript called for. Council Minutes 6/17/68 Pg. 13 9. Miss California Pageant Mr. Fred Waitman, Chamber Manager, reported last year's Miss Tustln is entered in the Miss California division of the Miss Universe Pageant and will be on television Friday night, June 21st. 10. Centennial Committee R~port ~ayor Coco acknowledged the letter from ~he Centennial Committe'~? Mrs. Lee Wagner stated that the Centennial needed more publicity, but: tile Coimnittee needed financial help. The Committee is now selling Centennial coins and aerial flags but this would not cover all expenses. She would consider their requirements in the following order: 1. Banner at C'ity entrances 2. Queen float 3. Mayor's breakfast 4. Historial brochures. Mrs. Wagner also stated that they hoped for Council support and invited tile Council to have a representative at their meetings h~ld in tile Tustin Area Youth Center at 7:30 P.M. on the first and third Thursdays of the month. Mr. Gill stated that financial help from the City has been minimal to this poj. nt. The City is now investigating signs to be used at City entrances and, on population signs. It is estimated that these signs will cost between $300 and $400. Moved by Miller, seconded by Marsters that the CitX ~~ator be authormzed to p_~eceed with the' ' implementatiGn of this sign program at a cost not ~o exceed $600.Y~'. Carried.
