PUBLIC HEARING ON APPEAL NO. 231 OF VA 70-4 (continued) Cecil Wright, 60 Plaza Square, Orange, Attorney for the appellant, displayed a map of the property to Council and explained the surrounding area. He stated that his client objected to the conditions imposed that required a north - south street along the west property line from First Street south approximately 700 feet; allowed only one driveway to First Street; required street easement for the north - south street; and re- quired providing a drainage easement along the westerly property line. He expressed the opinion that because the adjoining 10 acres is owned by the Garden Grove School District and is a landlocked parcel, they are being asked to put in the street to solve the access for the school district property; and he further stated that it would not benefit the subject property. Mr. Wright stated that they would be solving the drainage for the neighboring properties. He also stated that most trailer parks do not have d~dicated streets through the park; that with dedicated streets, the owner cannot control the traffic through the park. Mr. Wright expressed the opinion that the conditions imposed were unreasonable and served'to benefit the school district property. I{. S. Harvey, 620 Vance Street, with Ward & Harrington Lumber Company, and Howard Miller, with Contemporary Mobile Homes Corporation, also spoke in favor of the appeal. David McCalla, owner of adjoining property on /he west at the corner of First and Harbor, spoke in opposition to the appeal. He felt that access off of First Street to the proposed park would be impeded if it were in the middle of the block rather than at an intersection, and that the street along the side of the property would be favorable. Mrs. McCalla stated that it is better to come out of a trailer park onto a minor street rather than onto a main artery. The hearing was closed. After discussion by Council, it was moved by Councilman Patterson, seconded by Councilman Villa, to deny the appeal, uphold the action of the Planning Commission, and instruct the City Attorney to prepare a resolution granting Variance 70-4 subject to conditions in Finding of Fact dated February Z4, 1970.
