AGENDA ORDER
Attorney Melvin Cohen, who was in the
Council agreed by informal
unanimous consent to con-
sider Item 63 on the public
Agenda to accommodate
audience.
CONTINUANCE The report of the City
OF TAXI HEARINGS AS Attorney recommending
SET FOR AUGUST 20, 1973 that Council continue the
taxi hearings for a period
of sixty days on August 20, 1973, which would afford applicants
maximum due process, and free Council from the time-consuming
process of hearing initial presentations, under the provisions
of Ordinance NS-1180, was considered by Council.
Melvin Cohen, Attorney, 401 Civic Center Drive West, representing
C ~ S Tours, Inc., spoke in opposition to the continuance, stating
that further continuance could in effect close down his client's
entire operation because of a preliminary injunction obtained
against C & S Tours, Inc. by Blue & White Cab Co., which had
been stayed to August 22, 1973.
The consensus of Council was that it did not want to hear taxi
applications by the old procedure; that Council was not in a
position to gather evidence in this kind of hearing; that the
public interest would best be served by hearing the matter
under the standards and procedures of the new ordinance; and
that it was in favor of the continuance to a time when the matter
could be heard under the new ordinance.
Mr. Cohen stated that he would be willing to stipulate that the
matter could be heard by a hearing officer based on the new
ordinance, and that he would agree to be bound by the provisions
of the new ordinance, if the findings of the hearing officer
could be completed prior to August 20.
Councilman Griset's motion to accept the stipulation, and to
permit the matter to be heard by a hearing officer under the
new procedure, subject to the approval of the City Attorney;
and in the absence of the City Attorney's approval, that the
matter be set for continuance on August 20, 1973; was seconded
by Councilman Ward, and unanimously carried on a 6 - 0 vote.

PUBLIC HEARING The Mayor opened the public
APPEAL NO. 322 hearing on Appeal No. 322,
FOX & CARSKADON filed by Fox & Carskadon
Financial Corporation,
appealing the Zoning Administrator's denial of Minor Exception
73-17, to reduce required parking for a retail use from 26
spaces to 21 spaces, in the C 1 District, at 322 W. 17th Street.
The Planning Director summarized the Zoning Administrator's
report dated July 20, and the Addendum for Minor Exception
73-17 - Appeal 322. He stated that some relief had been
granted to the health food store on the adjoining lot, and
Council might wish to grant relief to the applicant; however, that
a twenty per cent waiver is very high; that modification of the
building in size, shape or location could provide the required
parking space.
Dave Legters, Legters Realty, 565 E. Holt Avenue, representing
Fox and Carskadon, spoke in favor of the appeal. He stated
that Color Tile, Inc. would enter into a 15 year lease for the
building; that due to the nature of the business 21 spaces would
be more than adequate for the proposed use; that the building
would be attractive and improve the property; that the proposed
use would cause no traffic or parking problems; that all other
Code requirements had been met or exceeded; that additional
parking would only increase the amount of blacktop.
Dr. Forest Moody, part owner of the property, spoke in favor of
the appeal. He stated that the widening of 17th Street had
created a hardship for the owners in that it shortened the lots,
and that two lots had been combined to find a solution to the
problems.
There were no written communications; there were no other pro-
ponents and no opponents; and the Mayor closed the public hearing.
On motion of Councilman Ward, seconded by Councilman Markel,
Council overruled the decision of the Zoning Administrator and
granted the appeal and approved Minor Exception 73-17, subject
to Planning Director's conditions contained in Addendum dated
August 1, 1973, on the following vote:
AYES: Ward, Markel, Griset, Evans, Yamamoto
NOES: Patterson
ABSENT: Garthe

The consensus of the Councilmen voting in favor of the motion was
that the City should encourage business development and higher
assessed valuation of land; that the plan was a good one in all
other respects; that relief had been granted in similar instances.
Mayor Patterson concurred; however, he stated that he could not
support the motion because better development in the City is
being brought about by Code requirements, such as adequate park-
ing; that he was reluctant to deviate from present standards;
that no real hardship had been established; and that the appli-
cant could meet the parking requirements by adjusting the site
plan.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 297 AUGUST 6,-1973
The Mayor reviewed the Council discussion at the meeting of
June 25, and stated that Council had some concern that other

similar nature are taking place throughout the County, and not
concentrated in the City of Santa Ana.
Ray Curran, 550 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach representing
Boys Republic, directed comments to points raised by the Mayor:
Boys Republic had accepted boys from all over California since
1917, including Orange County. Since 1959, Boys Republic had
tried to locate schools closer to the homes of the boys it
served, and Santa Ana was the central location of Orange County.
Frank Graves, Director of Boys Republic, Chino, and Jack Dennis
2141 Edinburg, Cardiff, spoke briefly regarding the services of
Boys Republic and its success in other areas.
Margaret C. Grier, Chief Probation Officer, County of Orange,
spoke on behalf of a Boys Republic in Santa Aha, and requested
Council's approval, stating that the school was an asset to
every community where it exists; that there was a need for the
services offered; that Santa Aha is uniquely able to serve in
this capacity; and that the project was supported by the Juvenile
Justice Commission and the Juvenile Court Judge.
There were no written communications; there were no other
proponents, and no opponents; and the Mayor closed the public
hearing.

400, representing Maurine T. Sutton, stated that the Departments
of Mental Hygiene and Social Welfare attempted to place people
as close to home as possible and preference would be given to
Santa Ana residents; that the Santa Aha site had been selected
because it was a centrally located, inner-city area with public
transportation and recreational activities available, and in close
proximity to related facilities; that the remodeling included
safety requirements; that a five year period was necessary in
order to obtain financing.
