PUBLIC ~EARING
1. APPEAL OF USE PERMIT NO. 8~-6 - 450 WEST FIRST STREET
(Continued from April 1, 1985)
The Director of Community Development presented the staff report
and recommendation as contained in the inter-com dated April 15,
1985, prepared by the Community Development Department.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 2, 4-15-85
Building floor plans, site plans, and elevations were viewed by
Council. The Director narrated a series of slides of subject prop-
erty, the adjacent property, and land uses along First Street from
the 55 Freeway to Newport Avenue.
The public hearing was opened by Mayor Greinke at 7:26 p.m.
Applicant Harry Gates, 11502 Plantero, Santa Ana, spoke in favor of
Use Permit 85-6. In response to Council comments of the March 18
meeting, he stated that during the past four years various unsuc-
cessful efforts were made to purchase the adjacent parcel (430-440
West First Street). Since then, the property has been sold. Mr.
Gates has worked with the new owner, and architects for both par-
cels have coordinated development of a compatible architectural
theme as displayed this evening. Also, Mr. Gates reported he spent
several weeks talking to a major restaurant owner on subject par-
cel, which was eventually turned down because of location, lack of
parking and local competition in the area.
Mr. Gates stated that ideally, efforts to combine parcels should
have been made prior to construction of the condominium project to
the south which would have allowed more parcel depth and possible
development of a "mini shopping center." Mr. Gates responded to
Council questions.
Howard Jones, 203 North Golden Circle Drive, McMahon-Jones-Ray
Partnership, owner/developer/architect of the adjacent parcel at
430-440 West First Street, spoke regarding development of subject
parcel and its proposed use. In relation to the Gates development,
Mr. Jones stated the plans have been redesigned to make the two
more compatible and to accommodate parking standards. Mr. Jones
responded to Council questions.
There being no other speakers on the matter, the public hearing was
closed at 7:49 p.m.
Councilman Hoesterey emphasized the need for a specific plan on
First Street and expressed uncertainty that the area can support
retail. He stated strip retail centers are not aesthetic at City
entrances, and encouraged Council to take some action on the Gates
property.
Councilman Edgar stated he was a member of the City Council when
widening/undergrounding improvements were made on First Street to
significantly enhance Tustin's commercial viability. In addition
to City funds allocated for subject improvements, businesses along
First Street were inconvenienced during construction. Now ten
years later, he is extremely reluctant to view First Street as
another attractive office corridor.
Councilwoman Kennedy stated her greatest concern is the building
height at 35 feet which would have to be reduced for her to support
the project. She favored allowing Mr. Gates to resubmit a project
with lower density and concurred with Councilman Hoesterey regard-
ing a specific plan for First Street.
Mayor Greinke echoed Council concerns and agreed with the need for
a specific plan.
Mr. Gates responded to Councilman Hoesterey that the third floor
was a personal preference to use it as his office space, and it
could be deleted with no problem. In response to Councilwoman
Kennedy, Mr. Gates stated underground parking was eliminated upon
discovery that the storm drain runs along the northerly side of
First Street. Mr. Gates called attention to the existing low-grade
retail on First Street, which is not aesthetically pleasing.
The Community Development Director responded to Councilwoman
Kennedy that a specific plan would take at least six months to pre-
pare, and described what it would entail, i.e., land use inventory,
market study of properties along First Street, proposal of a con-
sistent type of architectural theme, etc.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 3, 4-15-85
Mr. Gates respectfully requested that should Council deny Use Per-
mit 85-6, that it do so without prejudice.
The motion by Hoesterey to approve Use Permit 85-6 with a waiver of
the retail requirement and a reduction in building height through
elimination of the third floor; to direct staff to immediately hire
consultants to prepare a specific plan for the area along First
Street between the Newport Freeway and Newport Avenue with final-
ization and presentation to Council in six months; and to delay any
further development along First Street pending Council adoption of
a specific plan died for lack of a second.
It was then moved by Kennedy, seconded by Edgar, to continue Use
Permit 85-6 to May2b to allow Mr. Gates the opportunity to review
Council concerns, review the fiscal feasibility of his property,
and perhaps resubmit plans.
In response to Councilman Edgar, the Community Development Director
explained 'that Council could deny the project and waive any future
filing fees simply by instructing staff to do so; denial without
prejudice would allow Mr. Gates to resubmit at any time in the
future; Council could continue the matter for resubmittal of plans,
or it could deny and ask for a new project to be resubmitted. He
stressed that if the use permit is denied and resubmitted, it must
first go through Planning Commission review.
The motion to continue carried 4-0, Saltarelli absent.
It was moved by Hoestere~, seconded by Kennedy, to direct staff to
hire a consultant firm to"develop a Specific Plan for the area
between the Newport Freeway and Newport Avenue, along First Street,
to be presented to Council six months from today, and to place a
hold on any permits pending completion of the Specific Plan.
At Councilman Edgar's request, the Community Development Director
clarified that placing a hold on any permits is proper from the
standpoint that staff will notify the development industry of Coun-
cil direction, eliminating the need for an interim urgency ordi-
nance. However, if a use permit application is submitted, it must
go to public hearing within "x" number of days, and staff will
return to Counc~ with an interim urgency ordinance at the next
regular meeting to block the development. Staff must then advise
Council every 30-45 days according to law.
The Director added that Howard Jones' project has been submitted,
and it must not legally be considered/discussed this evening.
Staff received Council direction to discuss with Mr. Jones the
matter of voluntarily withholding his project from going to hear-
ing. If Mr. Jones wishes his project to be heard, then staff must
return at the next meeting with an interim urgency ordinance.
The motion carried 4-0, Saltarelli absent.
81
The Director acknowledged that he would prepare correspondence from
the Mayor to formally inform the Planning Commission of Council
action/dialogue regarding development along First Street.
PUBLIC INPUT
1. EL CANINO REAL EXTENSION TO MYFORO ROAD
Walter Flaherty, 190 E1 Camino Real, stated that four years ago he
requested the extension of E1 Camino Real to Red Hill Avenue, which
was approved up to Newport Avenue. He added that he personally
polled many businesses and there was only one business opposed to
the name change. He encouraged the extension of E1 Camino Real to
Myford Road for better identity and improved business for the down-
town merchants.
Trudy Wilson, Tustin Chamber of Commerce Executive Manager,
reported that the Board unanimously decided to support renaming
Laguna Road to E1Camino Real from Newport Avenue to Myford Road.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 4, 4-15-85
In response to Councilwoman Kennedy, the Community Development
Director stated that in relation to the East Tustin area, staff did
recommend formation of a committee consisting of public/private
individuals to review/approve proposed street names, etc., in the
future.
Following Council/staff discussion, it was moved by Hoesterey, sec-
onded by Kennedy, to direct staff to initiate proceedings for con-
sideration of a street name change on Laguna Road from Newport
Avenue to Myford Road.
Mayor Greinke expresssed his support of the motion.
The motion carried 4-0, Saltarelli absent.
96
It was then moved by Kennedy, seconded by Edgar, to begin prepara-
tion for formation of a City street-naming committee for the East
Tustin area. Carried 4-0, Saltarelli absent, g6
Mayor Greinke thanked Dr. Flaherty and the Tustin Chamber of Com-
merce for bringing the matter before Council.
2. CONSTRUCTION PROBLEMS AT 545 SOU1}I "B' Sll~EET
Theresa Arndt, 535 South "B" Street, described problems with con-
struction on the adjacent lot at 545 South "B" Street, whereby her
stake fence and numerous plants were destroyed. She stated that
there is a conflict over erection of a retaining wall and the loca-
tion of the property line. She reported that she contacted City
staff, and the Building Inspector and City Attorney are investi-
gating the matter.
Charles Anderson, 255 West Sixth Street, also complained about
encroachment onto his property from construction at subject parcel
owned by Walter Fredrickson. He reported damage to trees and
utility boxes on his property, and poor workmanship by construction
workers.
The Community Development Director stated staff has had several
complaints regarding subject property, a Stop Order will be issued
on the wall construction, and surveyors will be called in to settle
the property line dispute.
In response to Councilwoman Kennedy, the Director of Community
Development stated that active construction always results in a
nuisance to the surrounding area. He reported that the City can
intervene to a certain degree by withholding release of any utility
connection and occupancy until the contractors clean-up the adjoin-
ing properties, replace damaged plants and walls, etc. He added
that the City is in the business of certifying the safety and qual-
ity of construction, and the matter is probably more of a civil
dispute between adjoining property owners.
Councilwoman Kennedy suggested that Mrs. Arndt and Mr. Anderson
submit to Mr. Frederickson their bills for damages, with a copy to
the City. She also suggested the City do the same. The City
Attorney stated that staff must first determine the facts, i.e.,
have the survey completed, Engineering will review same, and staff
will proceed from that point, prior to recommending small claims
court or other sources of legal assistance to Mrs. Arndt and Mr.
Anderson.
The Director of Community Development responded to Councilman Edgar
that should the survey reveal the forms for the retaining block
wall are misplaced, staff will not release the inspection and con-
crete cannot be poured. If they are in the proper place, however,
staff cannot legally stop construction of the wall. 81
3. CO.UNITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
At Mayor Greinke's request, the Chief of Police provided an oral
progress report on the Community Improvement Program, and its
recent successful clean-up campaign on Kenyon Drive.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 5, 4-15-85
A slide presentation was viewed by Councilmembers which has been
prepared in-house to enlist the support and participation of land-
lords/property owners in the Community Improvement Program.
Mayor Greinke suggested staff submit the Program to the League of
California Cities for recognition. The Chief responded that all
information is being properly documented, staff will then submit
the Program to the League, and Tustin is the only city that has
implemented such a program.
Council concurred with Councilman Hoesterey's suggestion that the
MaYor send letters of Council appreciation to all organizations who
participated in the Kenyon Drive clean-up campaign, and to members
of the Task Force. 82
VI.

3. EAST TUSTIN ASSESS)lENT DISTRICT
The City Manager recommended continuance to May 6, 1985, for fur-
ther review by the City Attorney's office. He stated that staff
and The Irvine Company representatives have discussed this method
of financing improvements in the East Tustin area for some time,
pointing out that it would not preclude other methods of financing
future improvements. He stated proceedings are very detailed, and
Council may want to schedule a workshop for complete presentation
on same. At the May 6 meeting The Irvine Company's petition which
initiates assessment district proceedings will be presented for
Council acceptance. The Director of Public Works described the
boundaries of the proposed assessment district area, the improve-
ments to be made within the district, and the timetable for comple-
tion of work.
Councilman Edgar noted his intent to include a north-south arterial
in any future developer agreement, to be fully developed with
asphalt pavement perhaps from the I-5 Freeway to Chapman, acknowl-
edging that the assessment district being considered at the May 6
meeting deals with a local area only.
Brad Olsen, The Irvine Company, was present to answer Council ques-
tions and expressed understanding of Councilman Edgar's point
regarding a development agreement and future extension of the
north-south arterial.
It was then moved by.~dgar, seconded by Hoesterey, to continue con-
sideration of the East Tustin Assessment Distrtict to May 6, 1985.

REPORTS
1. PLANNING CO~IISSION ACTIONS - APRIL 8, 1985
It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Hoesterey, to ratify the entire
Planning Commission Action Agenda of April 8, 1985.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 8, 4-15-85
The Director of Community Development explained to Councilman
Hoesterey that because Healthcare Medical Center has a leasehold
interest in the hospital property, but the adjoining parcel was
purchased from Tustin Block Company, the two properties cannot be
combined physically. Therefore, Healthcare has requested a change
in the condition which required combining the two parcels. A
series of covenants has been prepared which prohibits them from
ever selling the 100' strip of purchased property separately from
the hospital property without City approval, and staff feels the
City is well-protected in this regard.
The motion carried 4-0, Saltarelli absent.
8O
2. INVESTMENT SCHEDULE AS OF NARCH 31, 1985
It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Hoestere~, to receive and file
subject report dated April 5, 1985, prepared by the Finance Direc-
tor. Carried 4-0, Saltarelli absent. 50
3. HANDICAP RAMPS/CURB CUTS
Following consideration of the inter-com dated April 9, 1985, pre-
pared by the Director of Public Works, it was moved by Hoestere~,
seconded by Edgar, to receive and file same.
Councilwoman Kennedy stated she would support the motion with the
understanding that when funds were diverted from the handicap ramp
construction program to sidewalk construction, Council did so with
other concerns that were equally important, and it was not from an
insensitivity to the needs of the handicapped.
The motion carried 4-0, Saltarelli absent.
4. WATER SERVICE FINANCIAL REVIEW
It was moved by Hoestere~, seconded by Edgar, to receive and file
subject report dated April 9, 1985, prepared by the Director of
Public Works.
Councilman Edgar commended staff on a very explicit report in terms
of the change in ratio of pumped water to purchased water. He
pointed out that it highlights the terrific financial advantage
being gained, approximately $200,000 per year, in going from 45/55
(% pumped/% purchased) to 53/47. He noted that an equal advantage
can be gained by going from a ratio of 53/47 to 60/40. He felt it
essential to quickly analyze the next step to achieve that ratio.
The City Manager concurred and stated the matter would be addressed
in the draft budget for fiscal year 1985-86.
The motion carried 4-0, Saltarelli absent.
107
5. REDHILL AVENUE & BRYAN AVENUE TRAFFIC SIGNING
Councilwoman Kennedy suggested changing the signs to read, "No
Right Turn on Red When Children Are Present." Council discussion
followed.
In response to Council, the Chief of Police recommended removal of
the signs, stating there is no vision obstruction, the street is
wide open in all directions, there is clear visibility on the side-
walk, and the signs are not consistent with State standards for
signing. The Director of Public Works concurred, adding that the
signs should either be removed or revised to read "No Right Turn on
Red" with a full 24-hour prohibition.
Relative to signing at Redhill and Sycamore Avenues, the Chief and
Director of Public Works responded that there is a high volume of
pedestrians and bicyclists at subject intersection which necessi-
tated same.
It was then moved by Hoesterey, seconded by Edgar, that the signs
at the intersection of Redhill and Bryan Avenues be removed.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 9, 4-15-85
Councilwoman Kennedy expressed opposition to the motion on the
basis that staff should first attempt "No Right Turn On Red When
Children Are Present."
There was no response to the Mayor for persons wishing to speak on
the matter.
The motion carried 3-1, Kennedy opposed, Saltarelli absent. 94
REVIEW OF DRAFT EIR FOR VILLAGE 14 - CITY OF IRVINE
The staff report and recommendation were presented by the Director
of Community Development as contained in the inter-com dated
April 15, 1985, prepared by the Community Development Department.
It was moved by Hoestere~, seconded by Edgar, to authorize staff to
forward the letter dated April 15, 1985, to the City of Irvine in
response to the Draft EIR for Village 14 stating publicly Tustin's
concerns relative to this project; and should there be delays in
the freeway improvement projects, Tustin has grave concerns about
the effects on Tustin streets which become the alternate routes for
any north/south traffic traveling through these areas.
Coralee Newman, Manager of Government Relations for The Irvine
Company, stated the staff reports have been reviewed, the concerns
taken to heart, and they will be trying to address same. She
encouraged both Tustin and Irvine to get together and discuss these
matters on staff, Council-to-Council, and Commission levels.
The motion carried 4-0, Saltarelli absent.

5. REPEAL OF ANTIQUATED CITY ORDINANCES
Councilwoman Kennedy requested the Mayor begin a clean-up campaign
to eliminate antiquated City ordinances. Mayor Greinke assigned
the matter low priority, and the City Manager stated that those
departments most involved are extremely busy and other projects
would suffer if it is given high priority. Mayor Greinke suggested
a one-year completion time, and the City Manager stated staff would
review a process for accomplishing same and come back at a later
date with timing. 38
