Resolutions 7L.-21 and 71-Z2 were considered in one action. The Mayor recognized Mr. Dale Heinly who was representing Eston A. Rose. He stated that it appeared that both the Peterson and Rose applications were denied based on the fact of an urban change of the general use of property in the area; that the developers of the trailer park in the area have no objection to the continued use of the Peterson and Rose property as horse stables. He requested a continuation of the Rose appeal for two weeks in order that the developers of the trailer park may appear on behalf of the applicant. He also stated that horse stables do not appear to be an inconsistent use in an agricultural zone; that his client has received a letter from the City of Santa Aha ordering all structures to be removed from the property no later than February 24, 1971; that this is insufficient time for such action; and that at the time of annexation to the City, Mr. Rose was informed that the existing land use would be permitted to continue. Mayor Griset stated that his position has been to protect a pre-existing use of the land, but that he would oppose any expansion of an illegal non-conforming use. The Senior Planner verified that under the General Plan there is no projection for further agric~lltural use in the areas where the Rose and Peterson stables are located. Councilman Patterson was opposed to a commercial-type stable where private stables are leasedmut to other people. Councilman Evans stated that his support of the appeal was based on the fact that at the end of one year they would have to move out. This would give the people an opportunity to go elsewhere and find some place to put their horses.

In view of these circum- stances, they would not be able to support all of the costs of the Community Centers (Logan, Delhi and one in the Southwest Central Area) which have been supported and operated by the Community Action Council in the City of Santa Aha. Carlos Ramos, Executive Director of the COmmunity Action Council, stated he had no other sources of revenue for his program, and he felt it was an opportunity for the City of Santa Aha to assist in the continuance of the Community CenterS, which primarily serves people with economic and social problems.

PICKELHELMER conditions of approval 8, 9, 10 and 11 of Variance Application 70-83 which were appealed by the applicant on the basis of financial problems: Condition 8: This would require no outlay of, cash on the part of the developer; it requires only a signature to a deed of dedication. Condition 9: One way this could be approached is to require each parcel to provide a street light. We try to prorate the cost so that eventually, when the Edison system goes underground, funds will be available from all the property owners; in this case the to~l cost to the applicant is $99.90. Condition 10: The Public Works Department's position is that this condition cannot be waived because it is required by the Municipal Code. The approximate cost to the applicant would be $405. for the front water main, plus whatever side service he requires. Condition 11: The sidewalk could be installed now, but it freight be difficult to get it to fit the future curb grade when Harbor Boulevard4s widened; a bond may be posted now, which the Public Works Department estimates will approximate $400.0o. The Public Works Director stated that the estimated total outlay of cash for the applicant'would be $500 to cover the four conditions appealed; that this should not pose a financial burden for the property owner. The public hearing was opened by the Mayor. Mr. George Pickelheimer, 1122 North Harbor, Santa Ana, was present to represent the owner of the property, Mae A. Bull. He stated that the reason for the appeal of these four conditions was that the cost of these conditions in addition to the cost of other conditions which he is not appealing will create a financial problem. Mrs. Mae A. Bull also spoke, ~ating that the sidewalk requirement was appealed because there is presently black top all the way to the curb. The Clerk reported there were no written communications received on the matter and there being no further proponents or opponents, the Mayor declared the public hearing closed. Councilman Patterson's motion, seconded by Councilman Markel, to uphold the action of the Planning Commission and instruct the City Attorney to prepare a Resolution denying Appeal No. 259 on Variance Application 70-83, carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Herrin, Markel, Patterson, Villa, G~iset Evans, Y~mamoto None CITY COUNCIL -60- February 16, 1971 PUBLIC PROPERTY USE Application for Special License to Use Public Property, filed by the Orange County Model-'T Club, to use the area east of ColT&munity Center Building and extending east on parking area, on Sunday~ May 2, 1971, 6:30 A. lvi., to 5:00 P. lVi., for exchange meet limitedto antique car parts, primarilyModel-T Ford accessories, was approved on motion of Councilman Herrin, seconded by Councilman Patterson and unanimously carried.

This matter was postponed from the February 1, 1971, meeting.

Mr. Don Christeson, President of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. Royce Coln, representing the Building Industry Association of California, spoke in opposition to this ordinance. Opposition was based primarily on the amount of the increase in fees; both opponents stated that they felt a 57% increase at this time would bring the assessment to 50"/0 of present-day costs and would be acceptable; that any greater increase in fees would detract from the desirability of future development in the City of Santa Ana; that new developers should not be required to contribute to general drainage assessments on already developed land in addition to their own portion of costs on new constructinn. Mr, Andrew Kral~pman also spoke in favor of the Chamber of Commerce and Building Industry Association's position, stating that it must be kept in mind that a drainage fee is not a tax on a developer, but actually a levy on certain elements of Santa Ana's population. Councilman Evans' motion to continue this matter to the next Council meeting, instructing the City Attorney to revise the Ordinance to reflect a 57% increase in fees based on Column #3 of the Drainage Assessment Fee report, was seconded by Councilman Yamamoto.
