is seeking to institute a plan somewhat similar to Garden
Grove. He stated that a detailed list of criteria has been
sent to the Department of Public Works for report back to the

such a program. The City Attorney further stated that it is a
lobbying process to encourage action by the State in the field
of local option.

a local standard definition of obscenity. Councilman Ward stated
we should work with other Orange County cities on this problem.

allowed to use that public property for a newspaper rack than
a bona fide merchant utilizing the same property right in

expeditiously on pornographic problems in the City. (CA 153; 153.7)

SEGERSTROM PROPERTIES An oral presentation of
DEVELOPMENT PLANS the proposed development
for property, owned by
C. J. Segerstrom & Sons,
located on Warner Avenue South, between MacArthur and Alton,
was given by Mr. Gregory Butcher, representing the Segerstrom
Company, and by Mr. George Kurilko, Sasaki Walker & Associates.
Their presentation included concepts for residential develop-
ments, park sites, school sites, pedestrian and vehicular
traffic flow and open space and their relationship to existing
development in the area.
Mr. Kurilko stated that the area involves 203 acres; that
the City is considering the possibility of two park sites
in the area; that possibly one would be adequate if the
development has proper recreation; and that the area will
be a mix of single-family, multi-family homes, and adult
and family apartments; and that 300 school children are a
possibility.
Vice Mayor Evans stated that he was opposed to the location
of the park site at the City limits; that it should be
adjacent to the school and worked out concurrently with
the school site.
Councilman Ward stated that a park connecting with the City
of Costa Mesa could be an advantage.
Mr. Jerry Lance, Facility Planner and Administrative Assistant
of Support Services for the Santa Ana Unified School District
stated that the proposed school site is not satisfactory to
the District; and that the school and park sites should be
jointly developed and adjacent to each other.
Mr. Bill Daugherty, Senior Planner, stated that he is con-
cerned over the densities proposed for some of the develop-
ment; that approximately 171 acres of the area on the map
is zoned and planned for approximately 1,565 units; that
the proposal presented indicates 2,058 units, 493 in excess
of the zoning and general plan, for the area; and that the
City policy for joint school-park development is an excellent
one.
Mr. Butcher stated that the proposal is flexible; that his
firm will continue to explore alternatives with respect to
park location; and that the Segerstrom Company will continue
to work on the proposal in preparation for its official
presentation through channels of the City operation. CCA 25)

October 31 regarding the
status of the Waffle House
relocation project. He stated that the principals of the Santa
Ana Historical Society are not willing or are unable to accept
personal liability for repayment to the City of the $12,000
costs of relocation in the event of failure of c~ntract por~,
formance, (restoration and maintenance]; that a $2,200

tion and maintenance should be sought out by the City to

that they haven't been given a chance. She invited Council

SIDEWALK OR CURB
MAIL BOXES
The City Manager gave
a resume of the
Letters and petitions

curb mailboxes were
presented to Council.
issues involved.
Mr. Hector Godinez, Postmaster, stated that this is a matter
of economics. It would add one-third more deliveries to
routes; and mail could be delivered faster.
Mrs. Famalaro, 2110 Victoria, Mr. Godinez's neighbor, stated
that it might save the Post Office some money, but it would
cost each homeowner an expenditure "to put that thing out at
the curb"; that insofar as ecology goes, it doesn't make the
environment any nicer seeing these things sit out at the
curb almost like parking meters; and that it does pose a
hardship for the elderly.
Mrs. Ann Tucker, 1019 East Catalina, stated that going outside
to pick up mail is a giant step backward; that the Post Office
raises the price of the stamps to provide better service but
the result is questionable. She stated that she didn't feel
that curbside mail boxes would save that much.
Mr. Novel James, 2144 Alona Street, stated that in 1~59,
there was an extensive survey made and Santa Aha was one of
16 cities in the United States to he tested for curb pest-
boxes and the advantages and disadvantages. He further
stated that it is undoubtedly not the local post office but
the U. S. Postal Service idea; and that two parking spats
would be lost at each home if we should ever have curb
delivery.
Councilman Markel's motion, seconded by Councilman ~artke,
to receive and file Staff report and restate our position
of opposition to curbside mail boxes to our current Congres-
sional delegation and to those new Congressional representa-
tives that take office after January 1, 1975, was carried 4-2
with dissenting votes by Councilman Griset and Councilman
Yamamoto. (CA 78)
STREET LIGHTING Council received the
2100 BLOCK OF report dated October
SOUTH OAK STREET 29, 1974, from the
Director of Public
Works, regarding the petition request for installation of
street lighting on the 2100 block of South Oak Street at
no cost to the residents.
Mrs. Mercedes Arreola, 2130 South Oak Street, who initiated
the petition stated that there are no lights at all on the
2100 block; that within seven months there have been six
burglaries and nothing has been recovered; that it is
dangerous for children and elderly citizens because there
is a mentally unbalanced person in the neighborhood; that
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 415 NOVEMBER 4, 1974
approximately 18 persons signed the petition and eight or
nine are willing to pay their share for the lights.
Mrs. Sara Gomez, 2126 South Oak also spoke in favor of the
installation.
Councilman Griset's motion, seconded by Councilman Ward, to
direct Staff to counsel with Mrs. Arreola, and to continue
with the present policy regarding the payment for street
light installation by benefited property owners until staff
completes its present citywide street lighting study, was
unanimously carried. (CA 29.3; CA 151

ORAL COMMUNICATION Mr. Donald Drew, Attorney
POTATO BIN representing Mr. and Mrs.
George Fisher, owners of
the "Potato Bin", 1605
West First Street, stated that he had filed, with the Clerk
of the Council, an appeal from the conditions attached to the
issuance of a building permit to enclose the patio area.
Council had been provided with copies.
Mr. Drew stated that the request was in the nature of an
emergency because of the continued problem of burglaries;
that there is great concern over the possible cancellation
of insurance; and that certain land dedications are required
to obtain the building permit which in this particular case
do seem logical.
Councilman Yamamoto's motion, seconded by Councilman Griset,
to set the matter for hearing on November 18, was unanimously
carried.
Police Chief Davis suggested that a solution to the burglaries
was possible through a portable alarm system; and invited
Mr. Drew to telephone him in the morning to make arrangements
for installation. (CA 87.1)

into the Country and their ramification, was seconded
by Councilman Griset and unanimously carried (6-0). (CA 57.1)
