ing
epresenting Coaxial Cammunications Company, Post Office Box
2655, Capistrano Beach, asked that the award of the

An appeal of the Planning Commission's approval of the
above items has been received from Tan Avik, 2605 North
Flower Street, Santa Ana, owner of property at 634
Hamilton Street. Mr. Avik is objecting to the Center
being rented for private parties which have adversely
impacted the neighborhood because of noise, incidents
resulting in police or other emergency vehicles caning
to the site, and an increase in traffic accidents in
the vicinity of the Center.
The Development Services Director summarized staff's
memorandum of January 3, 1985, and a eanparison of
police activity at Pea Center versus Parona and Davis
Schools. The schools are canparable types to what lea
School was formerly. Staff noted that as of December
29, 1984, the City no longer rents the facilities at
Rea Center for private parties; therefore, the cause of
Mr. Avik's concerns have been removed.
The Development Services Director also reported that
staff has recommended that Condition Nos. 1, 2, 3, and
4 be amended to allow 90 days to canply, instead of 30
days.
The appellant, Ton Avik, was present and stated that he
is pleased that Rea Center will no longer be used for
private parties and that he had no objections to the
other uses on that property.
Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, asked if the
City leases the Rea Center property frau the School
District. He was advised that the City does lease the
site and that the School District can, if a necessity
arises, again use the property for a school after the
lease has expired.
There being no other speakers, the Mayor closed the
public hearing.

Approved contained in the Staff Report, subject to all conditions
with Condition Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 amended as recom-

PUBLIC HEARING
The Clerk announced that this was the time and place
Appeal of ZE-84-79
set for the public hearing to consider an appeal of the
Menke/Ice Capades
Planning Commission's denial to renew Zone Exception
Chalet
ZE-84-79. The appeal was received from Dale Menke, Ice
Box Arcade (Inf-O-Raana Systems, Incorporated), 1391 East
Pacifico Avenue, Anaheim, authorized agent for Ice
Capades, Incorporated, 6121 Santa Monica Boulevard,
Hollywood, for a Conditional Use Permit for a game
arcade in an existing ice rink, located at 2701 Harbor
Boulevard in a C1 -S zone. Environmental Determination:
Negative Declaration which was previously adopted. The
Affidavit of Mailing is on file in the Clerk's office.
No communications have been received.
The Development Services Director reviewed a memorandum
from staff dated January 3, 1985, and stated that the
appellant believes that the City should not be able to
deny.the renewal because he is not providing public
restrooms. This is required under Condition No. 2.
The appellant also stated in the appeal that it causes
unreasonable hardship to retroactively require a Condi-
tional Use Permit for the arcade because of the adoption
of the City's electronic game machine ordinance on
November 16, 1981. The arcade has had a business
license since April 5, 1976. The appellant also has
stated that the complaint of security problems is
unfounded and inaccurate.
The Director also mentioned that a letter dated Septem-
ber 21, 1984, has been received frau the Vice President
of the Ice Capades Chalet, specifically stating that the
arcade has been denied permission to use the Ice Capades
washroans. Additionally, letters dated May 15, 1984,
and January 3, 1985, as well as several calls frau the
Kona Lanes Bowling Alley, reiterate its concerns due to
arcade patrons using, and possibly vandalizing, its
restrooms. It also appears that the arcade will not
be allocated additional space by the Ice Capades Chalet
for the construction of restroans. A letter dated
October 1, 1984, from the general manager of the prop-
erty, requested that the renewal of the Conditional Use
Permit be denied because incidents associated with the
arcade demonstrate a lack of control on the part of
the operators of that business.
In response to a question from Council Member Wheeler,
the Development Services Director reported that the
City ordinance does not require restroams; however, a
condition may be imposed requiring restrooms if needed.
Vice Mayor Hornbuckle asked if the appellant had agreed
to all conditions at the time the Conditional Use Permit
was approved, and the Director responded that since the
appellant did not file an appeal, it must be assumed
that he agreed to all conditions.
111
Attorney Patrick Carroll, 1900 Bank of America Building,
1 City Boulevard West, Orange, representing the appel-
lant, stated that he had just met with his client today,
and requested more time to. talk to everyone involved.
Mr. Carroll requested that this item be continued for 30
days.
