REQUEST FOR REMOVAL OF BRICK Abandonment of the
WALL BARRICADE - HELIOTROPE DRIVE portion of the street
Council Referral Item #209 underlying the wall
so as to effect the
closure of Heliotrope Drive on a permanent basis was approved
and referred to the Planning Commission for initiation of
the abandonment procedure, and Item #209 was deleted from
the Council Referral Summary, on the motion of Councilman
Brandt, seconded by Councilman Ward and unanimously (7-0)
carried.
Traffic Engineer Joe Foust, prior to the motion, stated that
a request from property owners and lessees of 17th Street
property had been received to remove the brick wall barricade.
He further stated that the wall had been constructed at the
request of residents of the homes north of 17th Street and
with their funds in order to separate the residential from
the commercial properties; that there had been numerous com-
plaints of speeding on Heliotrope; that for traffic planning
an arterial street such as 17th should have spaced inter-
sections; and finally that Staff would recommend that a fire
hydrant be installed on the residential side of the Heliotrope
wall.
Speakers favoring the removal of the wall were:
Richard Riemer, Attorney, representing property
owners on 17th Street;
Warren Henningsgard, lessee of property on 17th
Street and Director of Lawton School;
Marge Logush, 1710 N. Heliotrope; and
Billie Troth, 1711 N. Heliotrope
The opponents of the wall stated that the action of the Council
to have the wall constructed was improper; that the right of
the owners and lessees of the property on 17th Street to access
to Heliotrope has been taken away wrongfully; and that the
owners of the two homes south of the wall have had difficulty
borrowing money on the property or financing it for sale
cause of the wall.

that the two occupants of residences on the south side of
the wall made the decision in 1969 to stay on the south side
after having been given their choice; that the wall has
reduced the crime rate. Mr. Lowrey presented a petition in
favor of retention of the wall, signed by the 39 Heliotrope
residents who live north of the wall to Santa Clara.
Councilmen Evans, Ward, Bricken and Yamamoto spoke in favor of
maintaining the wall, to separate residential from commercial
property, and to maintain the increased safety of the neighbor-
hood which has resulted from the installation of the wall.

turbed people housed in three adjacent homes; that they have
been disturbed by numerous incidents of undesirable behavior
enumerated in the petition; that they have young children
they do not wish to have exposed to this behavior; and that
they are here to seek help from the Council.

the Lanterman Act to house mentally disturbed persons in a
residential environment, was being violated in spirit by the
allowance of three homes in a row in one neighborhood.
The Council expressed agreement with the petitioners and generally
favored all possible attempts to aid in the correction of the
problem.

and
Appointed~Councilman Yamamoto as the liaison
representative between the citizens group and
Council, and requested that the group make contact
with Mr. Gow, City Attorney, informing him who
the leaders are going to be so that status informa-
tion may be exchanged,
Prior to the approved motion, City Attorney Keith Gow advised
the Council that the City's ability to proceed against theaters
showing material objectionable to the residents has been
preempted by State and Federal law; that the adoption of an
ordinance prohibiting the showing of such films could be
challenged and the ordinance held unconstitutional; that a
zoning law designed to restrict theaters showing objectionable
material to a certain area of the City would likewise present
a constitutional problem; and that in view of the very
stringent limitations that the law places upon the power of
a city to regulate the content of pornographic materials, he
recommended that the City urge adoption of Senate Bill 886
by the State Legislature.
Persons appearing before the Council to speak in opposition
to the Mitchell Brothers theater were:
Lee Ogorek, 2202 North Pacific
Dr. Norman Conner, Pastor
Joy Ransdell, 2206 North Pacific

Matthew Ogorek, 2202 North Racific
Ron Hartman
Sharon Seropke, 1629 West Avalon
Dan Salceda, 2618 Westwood Street
Glen Rose, 2519 North Forest
The opponents of the theater stated that they had been circulat-
ing a petition, and that they had approximately 5,200 names to
date; that the community is voicing its objection to having
pornography as a community standard where they live and work;
that they wish Council to go out on a limb and find a way to
close this theater; that numerous case histories of crimes
show that the criminal has committed the crime after viewing
a pornographic film; and that they protest the fact that a
small minority of people are allowed to trample on the decency
of the majority. In addition, Council was informed that the
City of San Bruno was successful in closing a pornographic
theater and the Council was asked to contact the City of San
Bruno to find out what means were used.
Mr. Salceda informed Council that Senate Bill 886 is in the
Assembly Judiciary Committee, and that the only Orange County
legislator who sits on that committee is Mr. Bruce Nestande
of Orange, who is trying to get it out of committee and on
to the floor of the Legislature.
