On motion by Councilwoman Hertzog, Withdrawn seconded by Councilwoman Schafer, and carried 3-0, this item was withdrawn as requested by the applicant. Business Permit Item 7 on the Consent Calendar was presented: Notice Lions Club of Intention to Appeal or Solicit for Charitable Purpose from Costa Mesa Orange Coast Lions Club, 290 Princeton Trailed Drive, by holding a four-day carnival at the Harbor Shopping Center March 22-25, 1984, for the purpose of raising funds for Fairview State Hospital. Councilwoman Hertzog expressed her concern over the location of the activity which will be located at the rear portion of the shopping center adjacent to residen- tial property, and the late hours of operation. Since arepresentative from the Lions Club was not present at this time, this item was trailed until later in the meeting. Later in the meeting, under Councilmanic Comments, Councilwoman Hertzog mentioned that no one from the Lions Club had appeared and she felt action should be taken on the request. Councilwoman Hertzog again expressed her concerns regarding this activity. Mayor Hall commented that no complaints had been received in previous years. MOTION On motion by Councilwoman Schafer, seconded by Council - Permit woman Hertzog, and carried 3-0, the permit was approved Approved subject to conditions contained in the Revenue Super- visor's memoranda dated March 8 and 15, 1984, and stipulating that the event be monitored by City staff. Business Permit Item 9 on the Consent Calendar was presented: a request Inter -Shows from Inter -Shows, Post Office Box 2910, Mission Viejo, for a one-year extension of a permit to hold vehicle swap meets at the Orange County Fairgrounds. Roy Andreen, 2769 Cibola Avenue, Costa Mesa, stated it was his understanding that the swap meet is part of the motorcycle events. He objected to the application because he felt demonstration of these vehicles for prospective buyers would produce more noise in his neighborhood which is near the Fairgrounds. The Assistant City Manager reported that the vehicle swap meet has been in operation for several years and no complaints have been received for this particular activity. Norbert Bartosik, General Manager of the Orange County Fairgrounds, stated that the vehicle swap meet is a separate function from the motorcycle races, and that most of the activity is held inside. He stated that he is not aware of a noise problem existing although the swap meet probably causes an increase in traffic. Arlene Dowski, 332 Hanover.Drive, Costa Mesa, spoke in opposition to the application and urged Council to deny the request. Russell Millar,,223 Wellesley Lane, Costa Mesa, Presi- dent of Concerned Citizens of Costa Mesa, supported the comments made by Mr. Andreen and Mrs. Dowski, and asked that this item be tabled until further noise and traffic studies are made. Jerry Odegaard, 1632 Pegasus Street, Santa Ana Heights, suggested that the Fairgrounds be moved elsewhere. John Feeney, 1154 Dorset Lane, Costa Mesa, also a member of Concerned Citizens of Costa Mesa, stated that the traffic generated by the Fairgrounds is horrendous and asked that a traffic impact study be done before approving this application. Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, asked if the City.had any authority at the Fairgrounds for this type of event. The City Attorney explained the agree- ment between the City and the Fair Board regarding compliance with certain City requirements. Norbert Bartosik, Fairgrounds General Manager, spoke again and reported that the swap meet is held on Friday evenings, not on weekends, and that the activity is located towards the rear of the property. MOTION A motion was made by Councilwanan Schafer to continue Held over this item to April 2, 1984,,so that staff can investi- gate the events at the Fairgrounds and report back to the Council at the next meeting. The motion was sec- onded by Councilwanan Hertzog, and carried 3-0. OLD BUSINESS The Clerk presented for second reading and adoption, Mini -Warehouses Ordinance 84-8 and a proposed resolution concerning the regulations for mini -warehouses. The Development Services Director referred to Council's action at the meeting of March 5, 1984, directing staff to change the wording of the ordinance so that the Citywide square footage per capita would be set by resolution. The resolution and amended ordinance being considered contain the requested changes.

The Director of Public Services reported on the Master Drainage Plan Update which was prepared by Boyle Engineering Corporation and reviewed the priority list showing the facilities that are in need of construction or upgrading. The prioritizing process utilized a variety of criteria to establish four priority groups, with an added list of interim improvements for selected areas. Five of the most important criteria are detailed in the Director's letter of March 8, 1984; recommended priority areas and comments are contained in Exhibit "A". The Director stated that there is a need for a consultant to design those drainage facilities which are not yet designed, and recommended that work proceed Citywide using a phasing method by which immediate problem will be alleviated at the same time in various areas of the City. The Director concluded his presentation by reviewing the recommendations contained in his report of March 8. Joe Devlin, 354 Hanover Drive, Costa Mesa, representing flood victims from the College Park area, stated that he had met with City staff concerning their recarnmenda- tions. He expressed his opinion that it is vital that drainage construction and upgrading be completed before next fall. Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, asked various. questions regarding the City's insurance coverage. Phyllis Sides, 3125 Trinity Drive, stated that she has not seen the drainage study and asked if her area is included for improvements. In response, Mayor Hall reviewed Exhibit "A" which details the locations of all areas in the City where the drainage improvements are to be made. The Mayor also pointed out that the areas as listed are not necessarily the order of construction since several different phases in various locations may be under construction at the same time. Attorney Ronald Martin, 1401 Dove Street, Newport Beach, representing Marshall Duffield, owner of property at 17th Street and Pamona Avenue, stated that the flooding which occurred last year at his client's property is a serious matter. Mr. Martin offered to work with the City in resolving the problem. MOTION A motion was made by Councilwoman Schafer, seconded by Drainage Update Councilwoman Hertzog, and carried 3-0, accepting the Accepted final draft of the Master Drainage Plan Update. MOTION On motion by Councilwoman Schafer, seconded by Council - Priorities woman Hertzog, and carried 3-0, project priorities were Established established as defined in Exhibit "A".

Councilwoman Hertzog suggested that interested citizens keep in contact with. the City Manager's office so that they may obtain information on the progress of the drainage projects. Permit Parking in The City Clerk presented reports concerning a permit College Park Area parking system in the College Park area. The Director of Public Services reported that the Public Services staff has recommended adopting an ordinance and a resolution to implement a permit system during evening hours only during amphitheatre events, but not affecting other events at the Fairgrounds or at Orange Coast College. The proposed permit parking program is con- tained in staff's letter dated March 8., 1984, and the affected streets are shown on Exhibit "A" of the pro- posed resolution. Feedback frau affected residents indicates strong interest and support for such a system by a 2 to 1 margin. The Director also reported that the Traffic Canmission has heard much testimony regarding a preferential permit parking system, both positive and negative. The CaTmis- sion does not support a residential permit system at this time because it feels there are more viable alter- natives which could be explored to solve the problem, without additional personnel or a continuing administra- tive function. The recanmended alternatives, contained in a letter dated March 7, 1984, from the Transportation Services Engineer, are: (1) Close pedestrian accesses on Hanover Drive and Wellesley Lane. (2) Raise the wall along Fairview Road to prevent pedestrian scaling and to serve as a more effective sound barrier. (3) Explore limiting or restricting pedestrian entry to the amphitheatre from Fairview Road. (4) Explore installation of a gate on Princeton Drive at Fairview Road which is to be closed prior to performances. (5) Develop other alternatives which might reduce or eliminate City administrative costs. (6) Continue manning of temporary barricades using amphitheatre personnel. Russell Millar, 223 Wellesley Lane, advised that he represents the Board of Directors of Concerned Citizens of Costa Mesa and that the Board strongly supports the proposed ordinance which would implement the permit parking system in College Park. Mr. Millar felt that the parking problem must be resolved before the first amphitheatre concert is held in April. Mayor Hall stated he had concerns regarding the permit fees and the inconvenience to the residents in obtain- ing permits for their guests. He also was concerned about amphitheatre patrons parking their vehicles further into the College Park area where the permit system would not be in effect. Karen Millar, 223 Wellesley Lane, favored the permit system because she felt it would not be a hardship for residents to obtain permits for their guests. She suggested that if concert patrons did start using other streets in her area, the ordinance could be amended to add more streets which would fall within the permit parking system. Mrs. Millar also mentioned that during the week, Orange Coast College students park in her neighborhood to avoid the parking fee charged by the college, and that the swap meet vendors and customers use the residential streets for parking instead of using the Fairgrounds parking lot. In view of this situation, she preferred that permit parking hours be extended beyond the recommendation of staff. Jan Kennedy, 101-C Clearbrook Lane, reported that the swap meet parking is a problem in her area and she also expressed opposition to residents being charged a fee for the parking permit. Elizabeth Gecsey, 212 Hanover Drive, stated that her street is now posted for one-hour parking frau 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. but that this ordinance is not enforced unless someone canplains. She mentioned that students attending night classes at the college also use College Park streets for parking and it is very noisy at approximately 10:00 p.m. after classes have ended. Paul Foster, 2529 Littleton.Place, felt that permit parking was an imposition on the College Park resi- dents and would only be an accommodation for the amphitheatre. Mr. Foster opposed permit parking and stated that barricading street entrances worked very well last summer. John Feeney, 1154 Dorset Lane, suggested that the Fair Board may be in violation of its agreement with the City, and expressed opposition to the permit parking system. Mr. Feeney reported that when the amphitheatre operators were asked to incorporate parking fees into the price of the ticket, which he felt would resolve sane of the problems, they refused to consider that suggestion. Greg Lyskoski, 124-A Clearbrook Lane, opposed a permit fee and urged Council to address all parking problems caused by amphitheatre patrons as well as swap meet custamers and vendors, and college students. Barbara Fagen, 101 Clearbrook Lane, stated that there has been more swap meet traffic on Vanguard Way since entrances were changed at the Fairgrounds. She also mentioned that amphitheatre patrons leave beer bottles and other trash on lawns, sidewalks, and streets. Jerry Odegaard, 1632 Pegasus Street, Santa Ana Heights, opposed permit parking and reiterated a statement he made earlier in the evening regarding relocating the Fairgrounds. Ray Bishop, 305 Hanover Drive, mentioned that parking at the Fairgrounds has been contracted to Aloha Parking Service of Beverly Hills. Councilwoman Hertzog felt the permit concept would create many problems, and suggested that College Park residents park their vehicles on the street until after the concerts have begun. She also stated that if the ordinance is adopted, she opposes a fee being charged for the permits, and towing of vehicles. Councilwoman Hertzog also favored continued use of street barricades. Councilwoman Schafer mentioned that she is a College Park resident and is well aware of the parking problem which exists there; however, she does not believe that the permit parking system is the answer. Councilwoman Schafer favored use of street barricades, at least until the Traffic Commission and staff can recommend better alternatives to alleviate the parking problems caused by the amphitheatre events, the swap meets, and the college students. Janell Benzinger, 202 Princeton Drive, suggested that if the Princeton Drive entrance to the Fairgrounds were closed, parking in the residential area would be greatly reduced. Russell Millar spoke again to express opposition to any further study by the Traffic Commission and urged Coun- cil to make a definite decision before opening of the amphitheatre in April. Paul Foster reiterated his previous statement in opposi- tion to permit parking and in support of the use of street barricades. He added that he also supported the proposal of including the parking fees into the cost of the concert tickets. Councilwoman Hertzog suggested painting the curbs white with the words "resident parking only" in black, and installing signs at the intersections. Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, proposed that no -parking signs be erected but that no -parking be enforced only on concert nights. Ron Chamberlain, 412 Princeton Drive, expressed support for the use of street barricades, strict enforcement of the one-hour parking, and for concert tickets to include the parking fee. Edward Lynch, 250 Bucknell Road, agreed with Paul Foster and Councilwoman Schafer in opposing permit parking and supporting the use of barricades. Mayor Hall asked Mr. Millar if he still felt that permit parking was the best solution, and Mr. Millar responded that he would support use of barricades only if they were used at all entrances to College Park and if they were manned by police officers.
