Novelli the contents of the claims. The Mayor responded that
the Ghymel claim was of a very confidential nature and
should not be discussed in public in order to preserve
the privacy of the claimant; and that the other two
claims actually do not involve the City in any way.

j AQ
Since the applicant had not yet arrived, the Mayor
trailed this item until later in the evening.
After the City Manager's reports, the request was again
presented since Mr. Concepcion was present at that time.
The applicant answered questions from the Council and
reported that he expected approximately 400 people to
attend, that there will be dancing, and that the activ-
ity will be video-taped. He stated that he had surveyed
the area and felt that because of the location of the
patio area, noise would not be a factor.
MOTION A motion was made by Councilman McFarland, seconded by
Permit Vice Mayor Johnson, carried 5-0, approving the request
Approved subject to the four conditions contained in the Leisure

Permit Parking
The Clerk presented from the meeting of May 7, 1984,
Near the
permit parking near the Orange County Fairgrounds.
Fairgrounds
The Director of Public Services presented a revised
permit parking procedure which includes the elimination
of the tow -away requirement, elimination of fees to
residents, reduction of the permit parking area to
within 1,000 feet of the Fairgrounds, and a guest permit
which should reduce administration or supervision by
City staff. Temporary guest permits will be issued by
the residents for on -street parking by their guests
with each residence receiving a large refillable
supply.
In response to Mayor Hall's question regarding Section
10-221.9 of the urgency ordinance, the Director stated
that the year of 1986 as shown in the ordinance is
incorrect and Section 10-221.9 should read: "Unless
extended by an ordinance of the City Council, the provi-
sions of this article shall be of no force or effect
after December 31, 1985". 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.
Arlene Dowski, 332 Hanover Drive, Costa Mesa, expressed
her approval of the permit parking program but felt that
the permit area should be expanded. She also opposed
removal of the barricades.

CITY MANAGER
The City Manager presented the 1984-85 City Budget for
REPORTS
Council review. 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

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.

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
