said this, along with the Traffic Management Plan
prepared for the City .this year by Kunzman and Assoc-
iates, indicates that over the last four years over 60
accidents have.occurred, and since the Council meeting
of May 4, 1987, there have been four accidents. He
referred to.a petition signed by 162 people in the
Wimbledon Tract who are requesting some form of action be
taken. He stated'at the original reading of the petition
there was miscommunication as to whether or not closure
could be discussed versus directional turn restrictions.

iates, Item No. 5, recommending a closure at Sunflower
Avenue.

IN THE R2, R3, AND R4 ZONES.
Mark:Korando,..582 Park Drive, Costa Mesa, asked that a
new ordinance.be prepared and adopted which would bring
the zoning ordinance into conformance with the General
Plan.
Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street,.Costa Mesa, asked that the
proposed ordinance be clarified.
The Development Services Director presented an overview
of the ordinance,..explaining the "round -up" rule and
citing_the.following example:_ In calculating density for
a small apartment complex, one unit is allowed for every
3,000 square feet of land. If..three units.were being
considered on 8,800.square. feet of land, instead of the
required 9,000 square feet, the additional 200 square
feet could be rounded -up to allow the three units. This
precludes_ the property owner frau seeking a zone change
and any .other requests for,variances. The ordinance
only allows for round -up in cases within five percent of
the next level required.._
Sid Soffer, spoke about this ordinance being an ordinance
to control densities.

opposition to the ."round -up" rule.

Satellite Dish The Clerk presented Ordinance 87-8, continued.from the
Antennas meeting cf May 4,.1987, for second.reading and adoption,
Council Member Hornbuckle spoke about Section 2, Item 5,
Section 13-353, �of the proposed ordinance not .addressing
satellite antennas in non-residential.zones which are
adjacent to residential zones.. She would like this added
to that section as follows.'(new addition underlined):

residential zones and non-residential zones
adjacent'to.re'sidential zones as a use which the
-Zoning Administrator may allow by a Minor.Condi-
tional Ilse '.Permit: as follows : ,
Pat Dolan, 923 West 20th Street, Costa Mesa, asked what
the cost is for a minor.Cohditional.Use Permit and the
Development Services Director responded he believes
$35.00. s Mr. Dolan .said if :$35.00 is imposed on .people
requesting a satellite antenna, but people who have ham
radios, -.microwave camnunications, or,CB's-are not charged,
the City is discriminating against satellite antennas.
Mr. --Dolan further . camnented .the Federal Communications
Commission's regulations -are specific, you cannot discri-
minate against.satellite�.antennas.only.
Mayor Hall summarized, in the Federal Ccrmnunications Can -
mission's -Docket DC -362, one.paragraph states "under the
adopted rule local government may impose non-discrimina-
tory regulations on earth stations as.long as.the same
regulations are 'applied to 'all antennas."
Steve Willems, 3496 Wimbledon Way, Costa Mesa, asked for
the definition of. a satellite dish antenna and Mayor Hall
responded the -general accepted term for satellite is
receiving -television broadcasts from satellites and the
higher the frequency .aril smaller the dish.
Sid Soffer, 900.Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, would like to
see satellite:dishes regulated',.not prohibited.

the.'motion.but feels it is'a buggy whip ordinance and the
types:of..satellite dishes this ordinance addresses will
became fewer in cumbers because of technology. evolved..
Council Member Wheeler said,,for the record, he apposes

aesthetics and .it - is. not a legitimate function of
Government to rule on aesthetics and we should -try to
avoid it whenever possible.

afford a wider driveway.

motion as the item before Council is whether there are
unusual circumstances about the lot itself, and the facts
that the building has been there for many years, nor the
width of the lot, are not sufficient grounds to grant a
variance.

and is in agreement with the Planning Commission, and

a variance because it is too much for the small lot.

canmented that it appears situations got better without
anything being done.

the technical appendix for the'EIR stated that there are
areas of the text.technically correct but which are

assisting east/west traffic flow through the City of
Costa Mesa and extending into the Huntington Beach area.
Mr. Lindmark responded to questioning concerning noise,

tion of the project will cest-and when completion of the
total project can be expected, assuming all funding is

with funding available this could be a four- to five-year
project.

mendations.
Phil Marx, a private pilot, 854 Darrell Street, Costa
Mesa, spoke on alternatives ging a better solution to
the problem and his negative feelings on supporting
better commuting for residents outside of Costa Mesa.
He spoke about closing the end of Victoria Street with
an alternative at 19th Street being imre advantageous to
the City.
At the request cf Council Member Hornbuckle, the Public
Services Director presented .an overview of what has been
accomplished thus far regarding the extension of 19th
Street and bridge. The Project Report has been completed
by the County and the Envirormental Impact Report is
approximately 50 percent complete. The road traverses
the Orange County Sanitation District on the Huntington

riated for the bridge by the County. There would be
bridge approach participation by the Cities of Newport
Beach, Huntington Beach, and Costa Mesa. The project is

ting that if the project is cleared it could ccnmence in

asked if the EIR for Victoria Street took into considera-
tion this extension and the Public Services Director

ment Services Director responded they are available from
