ANIMAL CONTROL
REVISED & CONTINUED TO JANUARY 1S
address the Council.
The Mayor invited anyone in
favor of or in opposition to
proposed Ordinance No. NS-1466,
relating to animal control, to
Marc C. Johnson, 5413 West Silver Drive, spoke in opposition to Section 5-19,
stating that he raises animals for food; the slaughter of his animals is
performed in his back yard and not in public view; and he proposed rephrasing
the section to allow slaughtering of animals in enclosed areas.
Judy Stricker, 3001 Royal Palm Drive, Costa Mesa, expressed objections to the
provisions of Section 5-6. She stated that in her opinion the keeping of
barnyard animals or livestock should not be permitted at all in residential
areas; and that the provision allowing the keeping of 25 small animals without
a permit would encourage people to raise animals for slaughter. Mrs. Stricker
also appealed to Council for a strong educational program regarding animal
problems in the City.
Hazel Mortensen, 8921 Blackheath Circle, Westminster, Chairman of United
Humanitarians, presented Council with educational materials which she stated
would encourage neutering and h~nane treatment of animals and spoke briefly
on the subject.
MOTION was made by Ward, seconded by Bricken, to 1) review and place the pro-
posed animal control ordinance on first reading; and 2) authorize the City
Attorney to prepare a resolution to amend the Uniform Schedule of Fees,
Resolution No. 78-56, to include a non-refundable $50.000 application fee
for a wild animal permit.
A substitute MOTION was made by Bricken, seconded by Garthe, to instruct the
City Attorney to revise the ordinance to 1) permit slaughtering of animals
of five pounds or less in enclosed areas; and 2) change the number of animals
permitted under Section 5-6A from 25 to 15; and to continue first reading
to January 15, 1979.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 13 JANUARY 8, 1979
Mr. Barbot stated that the windows are required for aesthetic reasons in the
end units; that the tract has "postage stamp" lots and open space lots; that
he feels that the conditions, covenants and restrictions (CC&R's) and the
existence of special district zoning will control what will happen in the
open space area; that he does not believe anyone can build on an adjacent
lot without the permission of Council; that the tract map has been recorded;
that moving the property lines, the solution suggested in the memorandom
to Council dated January 4, 1979, from the Acting Director of Building Safety
and Housing, would cause a delay of several months; that the developer was
not previously aware of the problem; and that he believed the windows would
be permitted in other jurisdictions.
Following the City Attorney's statement that Council is the appellate body
in the matter, MOTION was made by Yamamoto, seconded by Ward, that the City
Cotmcil, acting as the Building Code Appeals Board in accordance with Section
204 of the Uniform Building Code, 1976 Edition, hereby grants a waiver to
Heritage Development, Inc., to permit said developer to construct window
openings on certain exterior property lines, which lines are protected by
conditions of the CC&R's of Tract 10251.
