The Public Hearing was Dp&ned at 7:06 p.m. Roger O'Oell, 17341 Mcfadden Street, spoke on behalf of his mother, Wanda O'Oell, ~ho had written a letter to the Council.

At Mayor Hoesterey's suggestion, Mr. 0'0ell agreed that hts mother's letter would become part of the public record.. There were no additional speakers on the matter and the Public Hearing was closed at 7:08 p.m. Mayor Hoesterey asked Mr. O'Dell if it would be easier for his mother to have the assessment placed on the property to become due when the property was sold. Oifficulty could arise from expenditure of City funds on private property. Councilwoman Kennedy explained that property values increase when undergreunding projects are implemented. If the assessment was done when the property was sold, Mrs. O'DeIl would not be impacted because the increase in property value would hopefully offset the charge. Robert Ledendecker indicated that this item did not have to be finalized at this meeting. It could be continued at another meeting and Mr. O'Oell could consult with his mother regarding her wishes. Page 2, 4-18-88 Councilman Prescott. asked- if the telephone service was from a utiltty pole located on McFadden and was there a utility pole at the rear of the property that could be used.

The Public Hearing was opened at 7:16 p.m. Tom Hunter, 625 8roadway, San Otego, representing Hone Federalo stated that the company's need was to identify the property for traffic on Irvine Blvd. traveling iran east to west. Home Federal realizes they are over the maximum allowed for signs. When teller machines became popular, Fl~lm Federa) roquesCc~ thaC A~ Ti,lm Fell~)r be added to their already existing sign and tha: request pu: them over the maximum. Mr. Hunter said that both the Owner as well as the tenants had agreed to identify the building as the Home Federal Building, Mayor Hoester~ asked staff if this was a building identification sign versus a tenant Identification sign would Home Federal be within the limits. :hristine Shingleton indicated that tenant signs cannot be used on the center identification sign. Mayor Hoesterey stated that generally it is due to some particular hardship this the case with Home Federal. in the granting of a variance that can be exhibited and was Mr. Hunter ~sponded that immediate identification of the bull~ing would assist their elderly rust.ers from a traffic standpoint. Curt Bower, speaking as a consultant for Home Federal, stated that when the exception was granted on building signage, the Planning Oepa~ment recognized that although it is a multi-tenant building with professional uses, that a savings and loan would have special needs. He felt that by contrast to other surrounding financial institutions, Home Federal's sign was modest. The special circumstances exist because it is not primarily a professional office building but has heavy cmnmercial use as well. Mayor Hoesterey asked if it would be acceptable to Home Federal to have the sign exclude the company logo. Mr, Bower stated that if the word "building" had to be added they preferred that the logo remain. No one else wished to speak and the Public Hearing was closed aC 7:2S p.m. COUNCIL MINUTES 3, 4-18-88 IV. Councilwoman Kennedy stated the Council had done a good job in the past to make Tustin a beautiful city by restraining uses of signs. As a result, the City attracts business and is financially successful. Home Federal had chosen to go i'nto a professionally zoned building and now, in addition to the previously allowed exception, is requesting to also have the advantage of a commercial sign. This will become a precedent and other tenants in professional buildings will want the same consideration. If a conq)any wants commercial signing, they should be in a commercial zone. [t. ~as moved by Kennedyt seconded by Hoest~rey, to adopt Resolution No. 88-38(b), upholding the Planning Commission s denial. Councilman Edgar spoke in opposition to the motion. He shared Council- woman Kennedy's dialogue, however, the building is al ready surrounded by businesses with monument signs and the only difference is, one area is zoned for professional and the othe~ is zoned for cmmnercial. He felt that every tenant has the right to be identified and it would be appropriate for a small, discreet monument sign. He would support Resolution No. 88-38(a). Councilman Kelly spoke in opposition to the motion feeling that the applicant's request was modest and he was upset with the attitude towards signs displayed by some Council members. Mayor Hoesterey was conceded that three-quarters of the sign was logo and felt the sign. was for attracting new customers in the area. He suggested scaltng the ~tgn down with a Smaller logo to bring it into accordance with the ordinance. He added that professional zo, fng increases the value of property. A substitute'motion was made by Edqar, seconded by Ke1)~, to approve Resolution No. 88-38(a), reversing the Planning Con~nission's denial. Mayor Hoesterey stated that as long ~s the conditions are for this particular site for these particular reasons and there is a waiver of the building sign that would be part of the record, he would be in favor of' the substitute motion. The substitute motion carried 4-1, Kennedy opposed. 106 I~JSLIC I#PUT ANNEXATIO#S NO. 144 ANO 145 The following extended their appreciation to Mr. Joseph Herzig for his work regarding Annexations No. 144 and Elva Woodland, 13132 Fairmont Way, Tustin Harv~-y Roll, 17711 Laurie Lane, Santa Ana Mr. Joe Herzig asked Council if any action on Annexations 144 and 145 had been taken since April 4, 1988.
