Rates for Golf cates that there are approximately 33,500 rounds at.the

recommended that the City increase the senior green fee
rate to $S.00.per round for resident and nonresident
seniors, and establish a monthly ticket at $30.00 for
residents only and $40.00 for a monthly ticket for non-
residents. The City Manager also recommended that the
present policy of restricted play between the hours of
8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on Los Lagos course remain in
existence; however, if there is an open tee, the
starters shall start the seniors on Los Lagos. Mesa
Linda course is open all day for seniors. It was
further recommended that this increase be effective
January 1, 1984.

NEW BUSINESS The Clerk presented Encroachment Permit EP -83-11, the
Reverend Conrad Nordquist, authorized agent for the
EP -83-11 Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church, Post Office
Nordquist Box 2164; Los Angeles, to allow an existing wall to
encroach into the public right-of-way at 183 East Bay
-Street in a PDR -HD zone. Environmental Determination:
Exempt.
The Development Services Director reviewed the Staff
Report and stated that the Planning Commission approved
the request by a 3-2 vote, subject to five conditions,
and based on the findings that there is adequate pedes-
trian access on Laurie Lane provided on the west side of
the street; access to Orange Avenue and Bay Street is
provided through the church property; removal of the
existing wall and installation of a sidewalk and a new
wall would require the removal of existing trees and
shrubs which presently exist to the east of the exist—
ing
xisting wall; and the existing six-foot fence provides
security to the rear of the church property.
Reverend Nordquist spoke in support of his request
stating that removal of the existing wall, installation
of a sidewalk, and construction of a new wall will be
too costly, and he felt there is sufficient access pro-
vided through the property.
Bob Yoder, 155 Buoy Street, Costa Mesa, spoke in opposi-
tion to the encroachmentthe and reminded the Council
that the Planning staff has recommended denial. Mr.
Yoder stated that pedestrians using the easterly side
of Laurie Lane will be forced to walk in the street for
130 feet before reaching Bay Street. Mr. Yoder gave a
slide presentation detailing his suggestions for removal
of the exising wall, installation of a sidewalk, and
location and of the new wall. He reiterated that it
would be unsafe for the elderly to walk on the street.
Mr. Yoder urged the Council to enforce the City's
original requirement for installation of the sidewalk.
Bill Kaban, 2029 Laurie Lane, also spoke in opposition
to the encroachment permit and commented that if the
applicant did not have the funds to comply with the
requirement for sidewalk installation, he should not
have started the project at all.
Brian Hunt, 1593-D Coriander Drive, Costa Mesa, stated
that he.is an employee of the church, spoke in support
of the request and expressed his opinion that if a
sidewalk is installed, it would encourage more parking
on Bay Street.
Charles Hamilton, 398 Wilson Street, Costa Mesa, also
spoke in support of the encroachment permit and sug-
gested that Reverend Nordquist make it a policy of the
senior citizens development that Laurie Lane is not to
be used.
Motion to Approve A motion was made by Councilwoman Schafer to approve
EP -83-11 Failed Encroachment Permit EP -83-11 subject to four conditions
to Carry contained in the Staff Report and based on the findings
that applicant shall provide proof of general liability
insurance; applicant shall sign and record a "hold harm-
less" agreement; applicant must maintain the approved
wall; and upon redevelopment of any portion of the
property, the encroachment permit shall be terminated
and the wall must be removed at applicant's expense.
Councilwoman Hertzog seconded the motion so that dis-
cussion could be held. She expressed her concern
that there will not be a continuous sidewalk if the
encroachment is approved. Councilwoman Hertzog stated
that she could not support Mr. Yoder's plan because it
would take away 10 feet from the play yard. She con-
cluded her statements by stating that she could not
vote in favor of the request.'
Councilwoman Schafer amended her motion, seconded by
Councilwoman Hertzog, to also include Condition No. 5
as shown on the first page of the Staff Report.
The Mayor called for the vote and the motion failed to
carry because of a 2-2 tie vote, Council Members Hertzog
and Johnson voting no.
