carried, Council ordered filed report of
bids received for Spec. 371-115, Hot Pour Rubberized Mastic Joint Sealer, annual
requirement; awarded contract to the low bidder, Edoco Technical Products, Inc.;
and rejected all other bids.
SPEC. 381-104 - GASOLINE Council considered award of contract for
Spec. 381-104, Gasoline, annual require-
ments. A1 Koenig, representing Standard
Oil Company of California, requested that Council consider awarding the bid to
Standard Oil Company, the second lowest bidder, because of the closeness of the
two bids and because their bid included the addative, F310, claiming it reduced
carbon emissions and carbon monoxide, reduced engine maintenance and carburetor
adjustments, and is available in all three of their fuels. The Mayor asked the
advice of the City Attorney, who expressed the opinion that several bids had been
received which met the specifications, and with no other factors being present, the
lowest bid should be accepted; that Council was being asked to bypass the low bid
on the basis that Standard Oil Company qualified as a better bidder; and that since
none of the other bidders have been disqualified, it would be very questionable in
his opinion that this could be done.

on April 27, 1970, denying VA 70-20, filed by Pleasant Care, to construct
a 58-bed facility for mentally retarded children, in the LP District at
1604 E. 4th Street.
On motion of Councilman Patterson, seconded by Councilman Herrin and
unanimously carried, the public hearing on Appeal No. 234 was continued
to June 1, 1970, at 7:30 P.M., in the Council Chambers, City Hall Annex,
500 West Sixth Street.
PUBLIC HEARING Hearing was opened on Appeal No. 235,
APPEAL NO. 235 - VA 70-13 filed by Kevin O'Mahony, President of
HARBOR PARK APARTMENTS West Santa Ana Improvement League,
appealing Planning Commision's decision
on April 27, 1970~ approving VA 70-13, filed by Harbor Park Apartments. to
construct a two-story, 173 unit garden apartment complex in the C 4 District at
808 N. [{arbor Boulevard.
The following persons spoke in favor of the appeal:
Bill Walden, 3413 W. 5th Street, Vice President of the West Santa Ana
Improvement League, speaking for Mr, O'Mahony, who could not be
present, who stated that the association felt that a residential variance
on this prime commercial property was not in the best interests of the
residents in the area; Robert Levin, owner of property at 815 N. Harbor
Blvd.; L.I,. Barnett, 3713 W. Hazard, owner of 3/4 acre on northwest
corner of Harbor and Hazard; Reynaldo V~lenzuela, 810. N. Jackson;
Mrs. Hendrick, 4701 Oakfield; Ralph Canfield, 5521 W. Silver Drive;
Wands Martin, 4801 W. Oakfield; Mrs. Carol Bracken, 1110 N. West
Street; Art Sherman, 4018 W. Celeste; Mrs. Hodgerson, 1121N. Elaine
Drive; Carol Steadman, 4717 W. Oakfield; Mrs. Hayward, 4022 Celeste;
Sally McConnell, 4421 W Roosevelt. These proponents opposed the so-
called spot zoning; opposed having apartments in this commercial district
on heavily travelled Harbor Boulevard; preferred to have a shopping center
go in on that corner; and stressed the present overcrowding of the schools,
without adding more children to the area, with the possibility that bussing
to other schools would be necessary. Mrs. George Pickelhelmer, 1122
N. llarbor Blvd., owner of a bar in the area, asked if this would affect
their C 2 zoning, to which the Mayor responded that it would not.
Speaking in opposition to the appeal were:
JohnGarrett, attorney representing the Harbor Park Apartments, stressing
that this application is not for federal rent subsidy; that the financing is [00%
conventional; that this would be an improvement in the area; that the apartments
would rent from $170 to $250 per month. IIe stated that the property has
been in escrow since October and that many meetings had been held with the
Planning Commission before the variance was actually filed; that they had
eliminated all of the 4-bedroom apartments, and thought they had been very
reasonable in working out the details with the Planning Commission; and that
further delay would cause the interest of financing agencies to run out.
CI~g COUNCIL -141- May 18, 1970
APPEAL NO. 234 - VA 70-20 (Continued)
Richard Ball, 666 E. 17th Street, Real Estate Representative
for Gulf Oil Corporation, owner of the property, also spoke,
relating the past history of the property. He stated that the
property had been on the market for commercial development
for four years but no one had been interested in developing it
into a shopping center.
Robert Hirsch, the applicant for the variance, stated the apartments
would be a deluxe, conventional financed project, that 85% of the
project would be 1 and 2 bedroom apartments, thereby not attracting
many people with children. He explained that the parking and the
lights would be 80 feet away from La Vergn Way which is a
private street, 30 feet wide; that there would be a block wall and all
of the setbacks and conditions would be carried out as required:
and that they felt the project would be an asset to the community.
James McConnell, 4421 W. Roosevelt, expresse~i the opinion that
some of the people who were opposed to this project might have
changed their minds since it is no longer to be a federally subsidized
project for the elderly.
The hearing was closed.
After discussion by Council, on motion of Councilman Herrin, seconded by
Councilman Evans, the action of the Planning Commission was overruled
and the City Attorney was instructed to prepare a resolution denying
Variance Application 70-13, on the following roll call vote:
