Environmental Determination: Exempt. No communications were received. The Acting City Manager summarized background informa- tion detailed in staff's memorandum dated March 1, 1990. He commented that there were three recommendations made by staff for Council's determination. Robert Ziemer, 258 East 20th Street, Costa Mesa, owner of Henry and Harry's Goat Hill Tavern, stated that he has taken several steps to show his willingness to be an asset to the community, i.e., advertised locally through newsletters distributed through hospitals, tourist trade, and charitable organizations; eliminated happy hour; eliminated specials; raised prices; paved the rear park- ing lot, will be installing lighting; has armed and unarmed security; and has a man clear the litter in a one -block area twice a week. Mr. Ziemer also commented that the establishment does call the Police Department when there are any problems. Sergeant Holloway of the Costa Mesa Police Department, responding to Council Member Genis's question, stated that it was legal for the establishment to hire armed guards. Sheila Ward, 122-D Magnolia Street, Costa Mesa, re- ported on a diary she maintained on Henry and Harry's Coat Hill Tavern from December 4, 1989, through February 25, 1990, and read a letter from John Ryan, 129 Broadway, No. C, Costa Mesa, regarding disturbing behavior of Coat Hill patrons, which was given to the City Clerk. Miss Ward stated that she has noticed some improvements resulting from the efforts by Goat Hill management, but the lack of restroom facilities outside remains a problem. Alan Burns, Attorney for Robert Ziemer, 453 South Glassell Street, Orange, referred to staff's memorandum of March 1, 1990, and was in favor of the six-month extension recommendation.

Mr. Burns stated that the diary of Sheila Ward was not substantiated by the Police Department, and asked that the Council rely on actual facts, not statistics, when making their determinations. Richard Goldstein, 1981 Wallace Street, Costa Mesa, was of the opinion that there were too many disturbances at the location. Sergeant Holloway stated that there were some unreported incidents due to the amount of time that it takes and the manpower needed to write the reports. Brian Theriot, 2005 Paloma Drive, Costa Mesa, stated that that he has observed the behavior at the location for two months, and has seen a pro -active management curtailing incidents and the security reaching closer to the neigh- borhood to contain disturbances. He believed that the management was making a great effort to maintain control and to work with the City.

The Director of Public Services stated that a recent review of policies and opinions of the respective organ- izations relative to this issue reveal a dichotomy of opinion, and staff would require more information before a reccmmendation would be available. Janet Graves stated that she has requested this audible signal since there is no cross -traffic on Fairview Road at Orange Coast College/Costa Mesa High School and with- out the noise differential, it is difficult to know when to cross at a safe time. John Bates, President of the National Federation of the Blind of Orange County, 3050 South Bristol, Santa Ana, opposed the signals and believed they are dangerous and detrimental. Nava Goldine, Secretary of the Orange County Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind, 1016 South Lamond, No. 10, Anaheim, stated that it was important to listen to the flow of traffic since the audible signal can be drowned out by construction noise and car stereos. Betty McLean, 389 East 19th Street, Costa Mesa, stated that the blind would not know when to cross this inter- section since there is no two-way traffic. Sandy Shambaugh, 6028 San Michel Drive, Costa Mesa, understood the want of independence by the blind, and was of the opinion that this particular intersection warranted an audible pedestrian signal. Vice Mayor Hornbuckle requested that more information be obtained on the transmitter signal.

Sharon Petersen, 3093 Donnybrook Lane, Costa Mesa, stated that the City of Brisbane, Australia, has audible signals at all its major downtown crossings. Vice Mayor Hornbuckle was of the opinion that this would be an excellent topic for an article in the City News- letter, particularly the White Cane Laws and the use of guide dogs. The Clerk presented a request to sell a portion of sur- plus land located behind 1970 Church Street. The Public Services Director summarized staff's memo- randum of February 26, 1990, and reported that property owners on each side of the land have shown interest in purchasing the parcel. He stated that upon the sale of the property, the owners would be dividing the parcel, and clarified that appraisal would be for one parcel only. Charles Grove, 2140 Aster Place, Costa Mesa, owner of the property at 1970 Church Street, commented that he had purchased his property in 1983 and during the process of selling the land, he discovered this parcel was not part of his property.

Council Member Genis stated she made this request to establish a commission rather than a committee to deal with various issues such as the types of activities permitted in the parks, a master plan of parks, and to oversee the parkways. She believed that a group of this kind would eliminate some of the burdens and decisions that are now handled by the City Council.
