The Director also stated that after implementation of the permit parking, barricading of the streets near the Fairgrounds will be eliminated; however, should it become necessary to use barricades, the program will be reinstated.

The total"recaTumended appropriation for operations and capital improvements is $41,528,600.00 1984-85 City which represents a four percent increase compared to Budget the adjusted 1983-84 Budget. The appropriation for operations is $32,426,285.00, and $9,102,315.00 for capital improvements. This represents an increase of 2.4 percent and 9.8 percent, respectively. The Budget reflects a net increase of 10 fulltime employees. The document does not include any salary adjustments other than normal merit increases, promotions, or reclassifi- cations. Possible salary adjustments for employees represented by the three employee associations cannot be included until after discussions have been completed and recommendations made to the City Council. The City Manager announced that the Budget will be presented for public discussion at the meeting of June 18, 1984. Former Mayor Alvin Pinkley commended the Council, City Manager, Assistant City Manager, the Finance Director, and staff for again presenting an excellent Budget. Fairview The City Manager presented the Fairview Regional Park Regional Park Development Plan and reported that staff met with repre- sentatives of the Orange County Environmental Management Agency; Doreen Marshall, Executive Assistant to Super- visor Thomas Riley; and two members from Reynolds Environmental Group, a consulting firm. Discussion concerned the County's agreement with the State to begin development of Fairview Regional Park within 10 years of the date of purchase, a time frame which already has been exceeded. The City Manager stated that after exploring various options, he is recommending that Council approve a minimum development plan which would encompass only the upper bluff or plateau west of Placentia Avenue. The development would include grading, irrigation, a bike trail to join the proposed bridge over the Santa Ana River, entry gate and road, parking for day use facili- ties, a restroan, and a dirt road to the lower site which would require minimum grading to provide soil to cover the archaeological site and provide drainage. Estimated cost is from $2.8 to $3.2 million. In addition, the City Manager recommended that a nine - member Citizens Review Committee be established to discuss the following: (1) Original suggested facility options (existing General Development Plan) for the remainder of the park. (2) Consider the questions presented at the Council meeting of May 7, 1984. (3) Approach future park development to provide recreation opportunities that are affordable, acceptable to the surrounding homeowners, and at the same time provide,revenue to help offset the maintenance and operation costs. Lastly, the City Manager recommended that the Council direct staff to request the County to answer, in writing, the following questions: (1) Can the park, under County ownership, remain as is? 1 (2) Is the property available for purchase by the City, and if it is, at what cost? (3) If the property were not developed, would it revert back to State ownership? Gilbert Collins, 3159 Sharon Lane, Costa Mesa, stated that he felt the Citizen Review Caamittee should be appointed before any plan is officially adopted. Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, stated that he was concerned about how much control the City will have over development of this site. Dick Mehren, 1824 Kinglet Court, Costa Mesa, asked why the Council would want to proceed with approval of Phase I without citizen input. The City Manager replied that approval of this phase would resolve the conflict between the County and State. Richard Hume, Reynolds Environmental Group, 3190-J Airport Loop Drive, Costa Mesa, reported that the pro- posed Phase I development includes those items which were most acceptable to the citizens. In response to Mayor Hall's question, Mr. Hume stated that the plan being presented is a general concept and the specifics will be discussed at a later time. The City Manager camnented that if the County approves Phase I, it will be two years before construction is started. John Vozenilek, 2271 Pacific Avenue, Costa Mesa, stated that the park plan being presented tonight is much better than the plan which was discussed at the May 7 meeting. He also stated that he would like to be on the Citizen Review Committee. The City Manager advised Mr. Vozenilek to submit a resume to his office. Linda French, 2083 Mandarin.Drive, Costa Mesa, asked why a cammittee was not formed prior to receiving this second park plan inasmuch as many Mesa Verde residents had submitted resumes several weeks ago. She also men- -tioned that the Mesa Verde citizens were not aware that another plan was being submitted this evening. The City Manager responded that Council's direction at the May 7 meeting was to report back within 30 days. Mayor Hall stated that the County was told what the City wanted for the park and the consultants submitted a plan, which is primarily landscaping. George Dernbach, 2065 Swan Drive, Costa Mesa, stated that an article had appeared in the Daily Pilot approxi- mately 10 years ago which indicated that the park site was to be designated a wilderness park area. The City Manager responded that the County did not purchase the site for use as a wilderness area only. Dick Mehren spoke again stating that according to Mr. Hume's report, an administration building will also be erected on the site. He asked if the citizens carnnittee will be allowed to recommend changes if the plan is approved by Council. Mayor Hall stated that the admin- istration building will probably be needed to collect fees for use of the park, for equipment storage, and personnel area. Don Maher, 2709 Sandpiper Drive, Costa Mesa, asked about maintenance costs and the proposed fee for use of the park. The Mayor stated that maintenance would cost the City approximately $50,000.00 per year; and the City Manager reported that the entry fee has not been deter- mined as yet. Barbara McHale, 920 Darrell Street, Costa Mesa, opposed approval of Phase I until after the Citizens Review Camittee is formed. She also opposed charging a fee to use the park. Mayor Hall mentioned that it is standard practice to charge a fee at regional parks. Margaret Weaver, 2211 Pacific Avenue, Costa Mesa, was in favor of the Phase I plan stating that development must start somewhere. During Council discussion, it was pointed out that if development of the park is not started, the property might revert back to the State, and in that case, the City may have little to say about future development. Councilman McFarland cammended the citizens who voiced their concerns, Mr. Hume, the County Environmental Management Agency, and City staff; for assisting in an excellent beginning of this program. He felt that approval of Phase I as presented this evening will indicate to the County and State that the City of Costa Mesa is cooperating with them in developing the site. He further stated that if Council approves the plan, the Citizens Review Committee can submit its recamnen- dations for possible modifications. MOTION A motion was made by Councilman McFarland, seconded by Phase I Plan for Vice Mayor Johnson, approving the General Development Fairview Regional Plan for Phase I of Fairview Regional Park as outlined Park Approved in the City Manager's memorandum of May 31, 1984, and the plan submitted on the same date. The motion carried 5-0. MOTION On motion by Councilman McFarland, seconded by Council - Committee Selection woman Schafer, and carried 5-0, the City Manager was Scheduled for directed to gather the names of.interested citizens to July 2, 1984 serve on the Citizens Review Committee with selection to be made at the Council meeting of July 2, 1984. Sidewalk Repair The City Manager reviewed his memorandum dated June 1, and Replacement 1984, in which he has requested authorization to enter on Harbor into a sole source contract for repair and replacement Boulevard of sidewalks at 2845 Harbor Boulevard. This work would ZE-83-153 be in conjunction with Zone Exception ZE-83-153, for extensive improvements being done by the Holmes Tuttle Datsun car dealer. The sidewalk at the site is esti- mated to be 2,000 square feet and the quoted price is $4.00 a square foot, which is a very competitive price since the City would expect to pay at least $5.00 a square foot for this small area. MOTION A motion was made by Vice Mayor Johnson, seconded by Contract Councilwoman Hertzog, approving the sole source con - Authorized tract as recommended by the City Manager. The motion carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Hall, Johnson, Hertzog, McFarland, Schafer NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None RECESS The Mayor declared a recess at 8:25 p.m., and the meet- ing eeting reconvened at 8:40 p.m. PUBLIC HEARING The Clerk announced that this was the time and place Appeal of ZE-84-88 set for the public hearing to consider an appeal of the Heath/Butler Planning Cammission's denial of Zone Exception ZE-84-88, from W. Heath and Company, in care of Ormonde Butler, 373 3225 Lacy Street, Los Angeles, for a variance frau the Sign Ordinance located at 2680 Newport Boulevard in a C2 zone. Environmental Determination: Exempt. The Affidavit of Mailing is on file in the Clerk's office. No canmunications have been received. The Development Services Director reviewed staff's memorandum of May 31, 1984. The proposed ground sign is 25 feet high, 17 feet wide, with a sign area of 51 square feet, with letters approximately three feet high. In contrast, Code permits an area of 15 square feet, 7 feet high, and letter height limited to 28 inches. The existing U -Haul sign complies with Code requirements; however, the appellant states that cus- taners have trouble finding the site because of the limited signage. The existing sign could be modified to improve its visibility without exceeding Code requirements. The Director further pointed out that to approve the request would be a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the sign limitations on other properties in the vicinity. The appellant, Ormonde Butler, was present and spoke in support of the request. He stated that he is willing to compromise and emphasized that better sign visibility is needed. Mayor Hall responded that staff mentioned other options and if Mr. Ormonde is willing to canpranise, Council could refer this item back to the Planning Commission for resolution because it was his opinion that Council would not approve the sign as proposed. Councilman McFarland expressed agreement with the Mayor's state- ment. Bill Guthrie, 920 West Commonwealth Avenue, Fullerton, owner of the U-Haulibusiness, stated that it was his impression at the Planning Commission meeting that the Commissioners could do nothing more and suggested that he try to negotiate a solution with the City Council. Mr. Guthrie reported that U -Haul now has a modular sign for all its locations, 2 feet by 2 feet, which will draw immediate recognition. He asked for approval of that modular sign at a height of 10 feet. Discussion followed regarding the various options MOTION available and location of the address, and thereafter, Held Over a motion was made by Councilman McFarland, seconded by Mayor Hall, directing staff to evaluate the use of the 2 -foot by 2 -foot modular sign, at a height of 7 feet or more, and to report back to the Council at its meeting of June 18, 1984. The motion carried 5-0.

Environmental Determination: Exempt. A communication has been received frau Jeff and Karen Martin, 589 Park Drive, Costa Mesa, voicing their con- cern'over noise if valet parking is permitted for the Golden Truffle Restaurant (ZE-84-52). The Development Services Director summarized staff's memorandum dated May 31, 1984, which addresses both applications and contains information regarding the shortage of parking which exists at the location of the Bamboo Terrace and Golden Truffle restaurants. At their meeting of May 29, 1984, the Planning Commis- sion extended the effect of the "Backdoor Club" for an additional six months in connection with Zone Exception ZE-82-36A/RA-82-04A, Bamboo Terrace. The Commission also directed staff to work with the applicant and the owner of the Golden.Truffle to explore additional short- term hortterm parking solutions. In connection with Zone Exception ZE-84-52/RA-84-04 for the Golden Truffle, the Planning Commission recommended approval contingent upon the provision of additional parking spaces at both lunch and dinner hours through valet parking, details to be worked out with staff, with the additional seating for both periods adjusted according to the number of spaces made available. Also, whenever public parking substantially changes, the applicant could request re-evaluation of any restrictions that are a part of the Commission's action. The Planning staff recammended denial or limit seating to 12 persons as indicated on the approval plans for Zone Exception ZE-83-112/RA-83-07 until the applicant submits a.detailed valet parking program identifying the total number of spaces to be provided, the means to ensure utilization of the valet service, and the means to pranote the availability of the valet service. This plan shall be submitted for review and approval by the Planning Cammission and shall be reviewed by the Plan- ning Commission after a six-month trial period. The Development Services Director answered numerous questions from the Council and stated that complaints regarding the shortage of parking were received after the Golden Truffle opened. He also pointed out that this restaurant now has 30 seats. Kathy Young, owner of the Bamboo Terrace, stated that she has turned away customers because of the City's requirement for limited seating. She commented that the Golden Truffle has disregarded the seating limita- tion from the beginning; however, nothing is being done to cite that restaurant for the infraction. Don Elmore, 505 Columbia Street, Newport Beach, owner of the health food store adjacent to the Bamboo Terrace, expresses his opinion that no one will use the valet parking service until all the available spaces on the frontage road are filled. He stated that the Bamboo Terrace is losing customers because of the seating restriction and the Golden Truffle has never abided by the City requirement. , Paul Davis, owner of Immetta's Ticket Service, 1799 Newport Boulevard, opposed changing the frontage road to a one-way street. He felt that the Bamboo Terrace could not survive with a 12 -seat limitation and that the Golden Truffle, in violating the requirements of the City, has caused the parking shortage which now exists. Jerry King, 4340 Campus Drive, Newport Beach, repre- senting the Golden Truffle, admitted that some errors were made and it was his intention to legalize the expansion. Mr. King elaborated on the various methods available to improve the parking situation. Mayor Hall stated that limitation of seating for these businesses is not appropriate. Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, catunented that the businesses in the area should get together to solve the parking problem. He suggested that the City purchase an area for parking and have the business people pay for the use and construction of the site. Councilman McFarland suggested that since $200,000.00 of Cammunity Development Block Grant funds have been ear- marked for caumercial rehabilitation, that some of these funds be used for additional parking in subject area. He felt a long-term solution must be reached and recan- mended that the City make an effort to obtain the State- owned property in that area. The City Manager suggested that he be authorized to file an encroachment permit with the State to provide additional parking in the landscaped area at the southern end of the frontage road. 1 MOTION A motion was made by Vice Mayor Johnson, seconded by Authorized Filing Councilwoman Hertzog, and carried 5-0, authorizing the of Encroachment City Manager.to proceed with filing of an encroachment Permit with State permit as he recommended. During further discussion, the Development Services Director recommended that the expansion of the Golden Truffle be denied until a long-term solution is found and that the restaurant be limited to use of 12 seats until the valet parking is resolved. In response to the Director's question, Mayor Hall stated that if this item is referred back to the Plan- ning Commission, and a valet parking plan is approved, then it will not be necessary to bring this item back to the Council. MOTION On motion by Vice Mayor Johnson, seconded by Councilman ZE-84-52 Referred Johnson, and carried 5-0, Zone -Exception ZE-84-52, Back to Planning Redevelopment Action RA -84-04, was refer -red back to the Commission Planning Commission to review a valet parking plan which will be submitted by the representative for the Golden Truffle. MOTION On motion by Councilwoman Schafer, seconded by Council- ZE-82-36A woman Hertzog, and carried 5-0, in conjunction with Zone Extended Exception ZE-82-36A, Redevelopment Action RA -82-04A, the Six Months effect of the "Backdoor Club" was extended for six months. Request for The Clerk presented a request from Tara Tolan, Costa Hearing from Mesa Communications Officer, appealing disciplinary Tara Tolan action by the City Manager. Paul Crost, 2020 West Chapman Avenue, Orange, represent- ing epresenting the Costa Mesa Employees' Association and Tara Tolan, stated that because of the substantial penalty imposed on Ms. Tolan, and in accordance with the City's rules and regulations, that the employee is entitled to a hearing before the Council.
