WAFFLE HOUSE introduced a discussion
of the condition of the
Waffle House by asking
why the Waffle House is not on its foundation or when will it
be. Ronald Wolford, Public Works Director, stated that the
estimated cost to perform the work is $21,500; that the City
has available $5,000 and the Historical Preservation Society
has $2,000, at the present time, representing a deficit of
$14,500. Councilman Yamamoto stated that he would like Staff
to write a letter to the Historical Preservation Society to
restate the City's position that it is their responsibility
to restore the Waffle House. Councilman Ward suggested that
the architect or interested citizens negotiate to reduce the
cost of putting the house on the foundation. Councilman
Bricken emphasized that if the house is to be ready as a
Bicentennial project for next year, something is going to
have to be done soon; and that the restoration of the Waffle
House is a great community project and that the City should
participate and encourage it. Councilman Yamamoto strongly
disagreed and stated that this project is the responsibility
of the Historical Preservation Society. CA 85.1d

GEORGE HALE of a City Seal Tile to
Mr. George Hale, Chair-
man of the Bowers

Mr. Hale stated that there were many rewards from serving

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 300 JULY 14, 1975
pleasure to work with the people on the Board, the City
Council, the City Manager and the others who made possi-
ble the fine developments at.the Museum during the past
years; that he appreciated this recognition by the City.
Former Councilman J. Ogden Markel came forward to say that
Mr. Hale's leaving the Board is certainly the close of an
era in the City of Santa Ana; that George had served tre-
mendously well and served at a time when Santa Ana was
growing; that the City was sorely in need of the kind of
character and citizenship that George represents; that
Santa Ana is increasing in numbers but not in the quality
that the City of Santa Ana has grown up with, that has
been its foundation; that the City needs to put back the
qualities represented by Mr. Gerald Peebler and Mr. George
Hale who live by the philosophy that one of our recent
Presidents expressed in the statement that we should
attempt to give the government all that we can and ask as
little as we can from government; these gentlemen have
abided by that statement. Au revoir, but not goodbye.

Mr. Ronald Wolford, Public Works Director, stated that the

tion of a large Bunya-Bunya tree located on the east curb
line of Flower Street and Santa Ana Boulevard; that the new
alignment would also enable the City to preserve the first
brick building constructed in Santa Ana which is on the

Hearing on Appeal No. 349
filed by Otis Babcock to allow a convenience market at the
southeast corner of 4th and McClay Streets in the L P District
which was denied by the Planning Commission on June 9, 1975.
Mr. Charles Zimmerman, Planning Director, described the
property as a 90' x 100' parcel surrounded by special schools,
duplexes and single family dwellings. He stated that the
Planning Commission unanimously found that the usage was in-
appropriate for the L P District; that this corridor should be
protected and conflicting land use could only damage what will
be a fine district in that area; and that the Planning Commis-
sion had received a letter from the Santa Ana Unified School
District in opposition to the variance.
The Clerk of the Council reported that the appellant had
submitted his Declaration in support of his appeal and that
she had received a letter from Frank J. and Jane E. Gelinas
in opposition to the variance.
Mayor Garthe invited proponents or opponents to present
their testimony to the City Council. The following persons
spoke in opposition to the variance application:
Richard Hansen, 1539 East Fourth Street
Frank Gelinas, 1538 East Fourth Street
The opponents stated that the convenience market was not
compatible with present neighborhood use; and that there are
two neighborhood shopping areas nearby.
The following persons spoke in favor of the use of the
property for a convenience market:
Ed Spatrisano, Walker & Lee Real Estate
John Lieser, Architect
Otis Babcock, owner of the property
Walt Thornton, Tic Toc Markets
The proponents stated that the proposed market is the best use
for the property; economically and realistically; that an office
building for the property is not feasible; and that it would

improve the property and bring a needed convenience to
the area.
There being no further comments, the Mayor closed the Public
Hearing.
The Council received and filed the Negative Declaration,

mission denying the variance, and instructed the City
Attorney to prepare a resolution to that effect, on the

voice their opinion on
this variance, with no prior knowledge of the appellant's
request for a 30-day continuance of the matter, and that,
therefore, the Council would hear the speakers and he opened
the Public Hearing on the matter.
The Planning Director, Charles Zimmerman, advised Council
that the appellant/applicant, Southland Corporation, is
asking for a convenience market in the R-4 Zone at 629
S. Euclid Street; and that numerous neighbors came to the
Planning Commission hearing to protest the proposed use.
The following persons spoke in opposition to the variance:
Patricia McGuigan, 5642 Keelson Avenue
Manuel M. Makieve, 615 South Euclid Street
Mrs. Joseph Cox, 615 South Euclid, #D1
Rose Marie Wojtkiewicz of St. Barbara

Dr. Conrad Wong, 615 South Euclid Street, #N1

congregation of youth in an adult community, proximity to
schools, major stores within one-half mile, and area incom-
patibility as reasons for their objection to the variance.

PROPOSED LICENSING OF CATS of 3413 South Olive

of a problem to the citizens; and that if the County can
run a voluntary cat licensing program, he doesn't see why
the City can't.
Larry Gentry, 1831 West 19th Street, stated that he had no
objection to the increased pet owner fees, but that the
notice said that the fee would be $5.00 more if the animal
had not been neutered or spayed; that the animal must be
licensed at four months of age, but that he could not find
a veterinarian who would alter an animal before six months
of age and some who preferred nine months of age; and that
he would be required to pay a penalty for something he ?~?
could not get done. !?

PUBLIC HEARING The Mayor announced
ORDINANCE NS-1263 that the matter of a
UTILITY USERS TAX utility users tax had
previously been moved
to the evening agenda to allow for comments from the audience
and he thereupon opened the meeting fore, public hearing.
Mr. Wayne Rash, 522 West First Street~, said that a new general
tax is always a perilous step becaus~ it sets a precedent;
that this is not the time for a new ~general tax; that a
property tax increase would be prefdrable to the new utility
users tax; that he sympathizes with the City's budget problems
and that he suggests as an alternative proposal, another
$100,000 cut in minor items from the operating budgets of
1976 and ~7 and consideration ~£ a 31 cent increase in the
property tax for 1976, increased~to 36 cents the next year,
plus a maxi~k~n $ percent increas~e)in salaries for City em-
ployees ne~xt~l~ear. He suggested~ further that the City lobby

Mr. Billy C. Hall; City Center Association, advised Council
of the Association's opposition to a utility users tax; that
they are in favor of the crime abatement program, but would
prefer to fund it through additional property taxes.
Councilman Ward stated that for him, in times of recession
and high unemployment, it is difficult to consider new and
higher taxes, but that newt.revenues are necessary to pay for
the near 100 new policemen that the City needs; that the most
equitable method to all categories of citizens and business
people in the community to share in the cost of crime pre-
vention would be the utility users tax; and that an advantage
would be user tax control through controlled utilities usage.
Councilman Yamamoto agreed with Councilman Ward's comments.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
306
JULY 14, 1975
Councilman Bricken stated that in considering the arguments
for and against the utility users tax, he feels it to be
attractive because it would give the City an escalating
revenue which would increase as utility costs increase; that
he has a philosophical problem with this type of tax; and
that he cannot at this time support it, but that he has
no alternative to suggest.
Mayor Garthe said that he favors the utility users tax; that
he would rather not add such a large amount to the property
tax; that he feels that the utility users' tax would be more
equitable for the lower income families; that it has been
necessary to cut City service; and that the additional re-
venue is needed to maintain a desirable level of service.
Councilman Evans indicated his opposition to the utility
users' tax; and that an increased property tax would have
to go along with it.
On the motion of Councilman Yamamoto, seconded by Councilman
Ward, the following Ordinance NS-1263 was approved for second
reading (4-2) with Councilmen Evans and Ortiz dissenting:

Mayor Garthe asked for

posed Ordinance providing

Councilman Evans stated that establishment of a maximum
was more unfair and inequitable than the original ordinance;
and that he could not understand the reason the tax should
be not paid according to usage.
Mr. Rhodes Martin, 1434 East Borchard, said that the four
largest users of utilities in Santa Ana would pay in excess
of one quarter million dollars annually without the maximum.
Councilman Bricken stated that he would not support an
ordinance to establish a limit on the tax.
Councilman Ward stated he would be in favor of removing the
upper limit.
Mayor Garthe favored the $5,000 upper limit; he did not think
the larger users should be penalized.
