(CA 82.3; CA 131.2) PUBLIC HEARING The public hearing to WAFFLE HOUSE receive and consider Proposals from potential donees for the preserva- tion and restoration of the Waffle House was opened by the Mayor. Mayor Patterson announced that two written proposals had been received, one from the Santa Ana Historical Preserva- tion Society, and another from the Women's Coalition of Orange County. Mrs. Edwina Walsh, 1225 Salvador, Placentia, representing the Women's Coalition of Orange County, stated that consideration should be given to establishing the Waffle House as a cultural and information center for the Women of Orange County in com~ memoration of Dr. Waffle's contribution to history as the first woman doctor in Orange County. Mayor Patterson stated that the suggestion from the Coalition was consistent with the Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society proposal; and that the Council had asked for bids from private groups that might be willing to assume the responsi~ bility of restoring the Waffle House and then maintaining it for some kind of public purpose. Mrs. Imo Randall, President of Let's ~mprove Santa Ana ~L~SA~, proposed that the City retain ownership of tke house; relocate it in the area of the Old Court House; and authorize the Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society to restore, preserve and maintain the house. She stated that LISA would Join with the Society in the restoration. There were no further proposals from the public and the Mayor closed the hearing. The proposal received from the Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society was referred to Staff for analysis and recommendation to Council at its June 17 meeting, on the unanimously approved (6-0) motion of Councilman Garthe, seconded by Councilman Griset. During discussion of the motion, Council suggested: That Staff continue communication with the Board of Supervisors regarding the "Heritage Plaza" con~ cept which would necessitate moving the Waffle House onto County-owned property, adjacent to the 01d Court House as soon as possible in order to proceed with the street widening; CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 197 JUNE 3~ 1R74 That a single move to a permanent location would be the best solution; That private investors should be encouraged to bid for the house even if it involved modifica- tion of the guidelines for potential donees; That restoration, preservation and maintenance should not be the responsibility of the City; That one consideration could be the donation of the house plus $12,000 for its relocation by the City, the donation of a permanent site by the County; and the application by the City for Federal Bicentennial funds to establish "Heritage Plaza". Mr. Wayne Schroeder, 2328 North Valencia, Executive Director of the Santa Ana Community Hospital, stated that it would cost approximately $80,000 to restore the Waffle House and $19,000 to relocate it on the new site of the Santa Ana Community Hospital. The letter dated May 29, 1974, from Mrs. Weston Walker, trans- mitting the following action taken by the Board of Supervisors on May 28, regarding the Waffle House was received and filed, on the unanimously approved (6-0) motion of Councilman Griset, seconded by Councilman Yamamoto: "Direct the Department of Real Property Services to contact the City of Santa Ana regarding plans for the removal of the Howe~Waffle House from its present site, and determine if a temporary site cannot be provided by the city. "Inventory county owned parcels in the Civic Center area to determine if any surplus property exists that would provide a suitable location for the structure." (CA 85.1d) TRAFFIC SIGNAL The interim report INSTALLATION AT dated May 28, 1974, WARNER & HALLADAY from the Director of Public Works, regard- ing the effect of pedestrians on traffic signal installation priority was received by Council. The Director stated that the preliminary pedestrian counts at selected locations indicate low pedestrian volume in rela- tion to the minimum pedestrian warrant; and that apparently the pedestrian factor will not significantly affect the priority list for signal installations. He added that the survey would be continued until all 18 intersections have been studied, at which time a new signal priority listing would be presented to Council. The following people spoke in favor of the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Warner Avenue and Halladay: Mr. John Saavedra, 2022 S. Cedar, Chairman of the Advisory Board for the South Community Center; Mr. Juan Gallegos, 2214 South Standard; Fr. John Coffield, 541 East Central Avenue. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 198 JUNE 3, 1974 The proponents stated that a traffic light at Warner and Halla- day would unify the community by providing easy access to all its members, young and old, to the neighborhood park, school, church, shopping and the community center; that it would espe- cially encourage the elderly to participate in community activi- ties; that crossing Warner Avenue is very dangerous because of the speed and volume of traffic; and that surveys do not always accurately portray the situation. The City Manager stated that other alternatives would be considered, such as a four-way stop, or other interim solutions until enough money is available to install a light. Staff was directed to continue the surveys of the 18 priority intersections and to include in the final report the number of accidents and fatalities occurring at each intersection for the past two-year period, and to submit the report to Council at its June 17 meeting, on the unanimously approved (6-0) motion of Councilman Griset, seconded by Councilman Yamamoto.
