CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
P~ge 2, 6-1-87
There were no other speakers on the matter, and the public hearing
was closed at 7:23 p.m.
Mr. Watson responded to Councilman Hoesterey that Tri-State Engi-
neering originally filed the Conditional Use ~Permit on Exxon's
behalf. It was never Exxon's policy to never request to sell beer
and wine. He stated that Exxon was not aware that Mr. Baker of
Tri-State made representations that a request to sell alcoholic
beverages would never be made.
It was moved bi/ Hoestere~, seconded by i..Kenned~, to adopt the
following:
RESOLUTION NO. 87-60 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF TUSTIN, UPHOLDING THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S DENIAL OF USE PERMIT
87-6 FOR AN OFF-SITE BEER AND WINE SALES LICENSE AT 14082 RED HILL
AVENUE
Coun'cilman Kelly spoke in opposition to the motion. He was suppor-
tive of the applicant's request, based on their track record and
character. He was impressed with the applicant's restrictive
guidelines in handling alcoholic beverages. Councilman Prescott
concurred.
Jack Miller, Parents Who Care, reported that a similar experience
recently occurred before the Pasadena City Council with representa-
tives from ARCO gasoline stations, .which is certainly a respected
organization. However, despite all the assurances, programs, poli-
cies, and video equipment, two Pasadena City College students (ages
19 and 20) were still able to purchase alcoholic beverages at three
of the four convenience stores they visited.
Police Chief Thayer stated that there are more liquor licenses per
capita in Tustin than in any other Orange~ County community, and
noted that there are considerable liquor establishments in subject
area. He disagreed with the addition of any liquor licenses in the
community until such time that growth can support that. He spoke
strongly to uphold the Planning Commission's denial of Use Permit
87-6.
Dave Larson, Tustin Meadows resident, Executive Director of the
National Council on Alcoholism in Orange County, concurred with
Chief Thayer. He urged Council to deny Use Permit 87-6.
Mayor Pro Tern Kennedy spoke adamantly in opposition to Use Permit
87-6.
Mayor Edgar spoke in favor of Use Permit 87-6 as a step in the com-
munity to maintain economic strength. .
Councilman Kelly and Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy ensued in debate on the
matter.
Ethel Reynolds, Parents Who Care, read an article to appear in
their newsletter which lists statistics on political donations by
liquor and gasoline lobbies. She noted that Ordinance No. 981,
effective on June 4, 1987, would prohibit such an establishment
based on distance requirements. On behalf of Parents Who Care, she
requested Council's denial of Use Permit 87-6.
Nadine Froesch expressed disbelief that the Council majority would
support beer and wine sales at a gasoline station. She encouraged
Council to explore other means of improving the community.
Lyn 'Van Dyken, 235 South "A" Street, spoke in opposition to Use
Permit 87-6.
Jack Miller again spoke in opposition to Use Permit 87-6.
Dave Larson expressed amazement that Council majority would accept
assurances by Exxon that sales will be restricted. He reported
instances where he has testified against illegal sales practices
in spite of company policies.

PUBLIC INPUT

Richard Vining, 400 West Main Street, requested a status report on
the downtown parking structure, and asked if the restricted parking
on "B" Street will be reinstated when the structure is completed.

ture is nearly completed. The only' thing remaining is the ramp
which should be completed within a week or two. The City Manager
assured Mr. Vining that parking restriction on "B" Street will be
reinstated upon completion of the downtown parking structure.
Mr. Vi ning stated that the entire curb on the northeast corner of
"B" and Main Streets was demolished for signal installation, and
then reinstalled by the contractor to its original condition. He
wondered why a handicap ramp was not installed, and why similar
curbs couldn't be converted to handicap ramps piecemeal.

struction Project will be awarded on June 15. Subject curb was not

the northwest corner of "B" and Main Streets where the existing

2. TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT NEWPORT AVENUE & OLD IRVINE BOULEVARD
Mayor Edgar requested staff report on the possibility of signaliz-
ing subject intersection and provide a cost estimate for same.
The Director of Public Works presented the staff report as con-
tained in his inter-com dated May 2'2, 1987. Although subject
intersection meets traffic signal warrants, he recommended against
signal installation due to the minimal amount of cars (200) exiting
Plaza Lafayette, and its proximity to the existing signalized
intersection at I rvine Boulevard and Newport Avenue. The Director
noted that there are several other locations throughout the City
that are in more critical need of expenditure of funds for 1;raffic
control. '
Mayor Edgar suggested staff explore utilization of Redevelopment
funds, agendize the matter, and perhaps accomplish the work without
compromising other work. The Director responded that on Newport
Avenue between Irvine Boulevard and 17th Street, the most logical
location for a traffic signal in that vicinity would be at Wass and
Newport. This location would serve many more cars, and provide
overall spacing for gaps within timing to allow cars exiting com-
mercial establishment driveways. The Director assumed Council
would be requested to install a signal at Wass sometime in the near
future. A signal at Old Irvine would make it difficult with timing
by having too many signals in a given area.
Council/staff discussion followed.
Councilman Hoesterey suggested making the movement from Old Irvine
onto Newport a "ri ght turn only." Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy concurred.
AS recommended by the Director, it was m°ve'dnb~et Kennedj/, seconded
bi/ Hoesterej/, to direct staff to study the ire area on Newport
Avenue between Irvine Boulevard and 17th Street, and report back to
Council on the matter. The motion carried 5-0. 94
