CUP 7Z-19
HARVEY BEAR - (Continued)
Prior to voting, the Acting City Attorney advised Council that he had recommended
that CUP 72-19 be considered apart from the Consent Calendar because of the
recent decision by the California Supreme Court in the case of Friends of Mammoth
v. Mono County; and that he recommended to Council that the matter be continued,
or in the alternative, that the conditional use permit be received and ordered filed
subject to conditions that the developer be required to submit an Environmental
Impact Statement that the development would not have more than a trivial impact on
the environment and that the developer enter into an agreement with the City holding
the C'ity harmless from any.liability on the Conditional Use Permit. He further
stated that there were as yet no clear guidelines as to what should be considered
"trivial," and recommended to Council that an Environmental Impact
Evaluator be appointed to ascertain whether an Environmental Impact Statement
should be required of a developer; that if required, the statement would be
submitted to the Council for a further finding of fact and that Council would still
have the discretion to approve the project even if the environmental impact was
found to be more than trivial.
Mrs. lanice Boer, 912 North Lowell, asked Council to not over-react to the Friends
of Mammoth case and hire an evaluator, but rather to wait until after the California

OUTDOOR RECREATION Council considered the letter dated
MT. SADDLEBACK ACADEMY October 3, 197Z, from Dr. Ao Neal
de Gaston, Director of Mount
Saddleback Academy, 502 South Ross Street, requesting that the indoor recreation
activity restriction be removed from Conditional Use lmermit 71-12, implemented by
Resolution 71-53o
Dro de Gaston spoke in favor of his request stating that they had a small, private,
Christian school where high academic standards were stressed, with 30 students
from kindergax-ten through eighth grade; and that they were requesting that the
restriction be lifted so that they might fence in part of the parking lot of their
facility to provide their students with outside exercise, fresh air and sunshine. He
stated that they had polled the neighborhood and had a petition signed by sixty-two
nearby residents, and that all four families immediately next to the school had
signed the petition.
Mrs° 3essie Backer, 512 So. Van Ness Ave., spoke in opposition to the request
stating that she knew of many people who were opposed to lifting the indoor
recreational stipulation°
On the unanimously approved motion of Councilman Evans, seconded by Council-
man Markel, Council set a public hearing for November 6, 1972, for the purpose
of considering an amendment to Resolution #71-53 deleting the provision restrict-
lng students' exercise or recreational activities to the interior of the building.
Prior to voting, Dr. de Gaston asked Council if, pending the outcome of the public
hearing, they could be granted a temporary lifting of the restriction.
The Acting City Attorney responded that the Municipal Code did not allow for any
modification of a Conditional Use Permit without a public hearing.
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE Council considered the letter dated
LICENSE APPLICATION October 6, 1972, from the Law Offices
ERWIN A. ROHM of Berrien ]~. Moore Incorporated,
requesting that Council reconsider
the Alcoholic Beverage Control License application of Erwin A. Rohm, to which
Council had instructed the City Attorney to prepare a letter of protest at the October
Z meeting.
Mro Kenneth Scholtz, Attorney at Law, from the Law Offices of Berrien E. Moor e,
Incorporated, 1515 Redondo Beach Boulevard, Gardena, spoke in favor of the request.
He stated that the reason he had asked for a rehearing on behalf of his client, was
that there had been a number of misleading statements in the report from the
Police Department recommending the protest; that his client should have been
given an opportunity to express his point of view; that the filing of a protest by the
City is a very serious matter both for the licensee and for the City in that the
application would have to be held up for a hearing before the ABC, the premises
could not be used during that time, the City Attorney-would be involved, and the
appearance of witnesses on behalt of the City would be necessary. He stated that
Mr° Rohm had received no notice of the police protest except with the letter
informing him of the hearing which Mr. Rohm did not receive until Monday after-
noon~ which was too late for him to attend the hearing; that the police objections
were based largely on past events instead of the current situation.

recommendation necessary as soon as possible so that the ABC can set the
matter for public hearing, at which time additional facts can be brought out; that Mr.
Rohm was represented by counsel and had at least one other ownership of a
bar in Santa Ana, and that the decision as to whether or not he will be granted
an ABC license would come only after hearing before ABC.

RECREATIONAL VEHICLE AND
MOBILE HOME DEALERS - (Continued)
The following persons spoke in favor of.~e request:
Mr. A.M. Anderson, 520 N. Harbor
Mr. Frank Bond, B & B Mobile Homes, Z12 N. Harbor
Mr. Larry Hylers, King's Coach, 604 N. Harbor
Mr. Bill Gates, Valhalla Mobile Homes, 1201 N. Harbor
Mr. Don Chisolm, Santa Aha Vacation Vehicles, 1415 N. Harbor
Mr. Gordon Rogers, Valhalla Mobile Homes, 1201 N. Harbor
Mr. Ed Thomas, Orange Executive Motor Homes, 525 S. Harbor
Mr. Dave Murdock, 1010 N. Harbor
Mr. Bob Belknap, Bob Belknap Trailer Sales, 420 S. Harbor
They stated that many of them had purchased lots with existing 10~ound load awnings
attached to the offices years ago; that they had been granted licenses by the City at
that time; that they knew of no 10-pound load a~rning on any of their lots that had been
blown down even with the heaviest Santa Aha winds; that many of the dealers used their
office awning as their display awning because their lots were too small to accommodate
additional display awnings; that a large part of their volume was selling awnings; that
because of the frequent changes in the size of mobile homes,- it is often necessary for
them to move their offices and the attached awnings; that the required 20-pound load
awning must be set in cement six inches away from their office; and that many of their
offices were not permanent in that they were also for sale.
The Director of Building Safety and Housing stated that the Code does require a 20-
pound load awning on all commercial offices and that-an exception to mobile home and
recreational vehicle dealers would make it difficult to draw the line in requirements
for other types of businesses. He pointed out the safety reasons for having the heavier
awning for commerciad use in that there was a much greater exposure with employees
and customers always under the awning and that a 20-pound load awning was 10%
stronger than a 10-pound load awning.
On hearing no motion from Council, Mayor Griset stated that Council appreciated
hearing the opinions expressed, however, that the matter was status quo and that
no motion was required.
PARAMEDIC TRAINING Council considered a written request
