Environmen- tal Determination: Exempt. The Affidavit of Mailing is on file in the City Clerk's office. A communication was received from George and Ruth Rueger, 594 Knowell Place, Costa Mesa, supporting the request.

He showed photographs of the antenna which illustrated how it projects beyond the roof of the one-story house. He reported that he had ascertained that power poles and wires should not interfere with reception. Charles Henggeler, stated that the location of the satellite antenna on the property was determined by an experienced technician, and explained that the pole -mounted dish was selected because no ground-based location on the property, front or back, would afford a view of all the satellites with the reception window free of solid objects. The Associate Planner showed a picture of a satellite antenna located at 573 Victoria Street, Apt. A, Costa Mesa, which is low to the ground and near a power pole. Frank Cole, 2482,,� f airview Way, Costa Mesa, suggested that approval of this item should include a condition that the apparatus cannot be used to transmit without the City's prior approval. Ken Bozarth, 243 East 20th Street, Apt. B, Costa Mesa, commented that the telephone poles and lines in the background of the photographs are more objectionable than the antenna. Mr.Bozarth spoke again later adding that short wave antennas are also unsightly. Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, proposed eliminating the palm tree and telephone pole instead of the antenna. He questioned the Agenda Report statement that the antenna would be "materially detrimental to other properties in the area". Mayor Genis stated that this antenna is located in the side yard setback and exceeds the allowable height limit, and she would not like to see a proliferation of antennas or other objects erected under similar conditions. There being no other speakers, the Mayor closed the public hearing. Council Member Erickson suggested approving the application with the condition that the antenna be relocated on the property. Mayor Genis proposed that the antenna be located so that it meets all required setbacks and height requirements for structures in the residential district, and supported restricting these types of applications to the rear half of the lot. Council Member Erickson commented that guidelines for future applicants should be established, and staff should begin this process immediately. The Mayor responded that this work is in progress. MOTION A motion was made by Council Member Hornbuckle, seconded by Adopted Resolution Vice Mayor Humphrey, to adopt Resolution 93-69, A 93-69 Approving RESOLUTION OF THE CITYO COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ZA-93-02 COSTA .

PUBLIC HEARING The Deputy City Clerk announced that this was the time and place Appeal of ZA-93-03 set for the public hearing to consider an appeal of the Planning Cendoya Commission's denial of Zoning Action ZA-93-03 from Richard and Cristina Cendoya, 3469 Fuchsia Street, Costa Mesa, for a minor conditional use permit to legalize a satellite antenna at a single- family residence at- the above address, in an R1 zone.

He reviewed' -photographs of the antenna in relation to the property. Cristina Cendoya, indicated that the company which installed their satellite antenna did not indicate the need for a Conditional Use Permit, and stated that she had immediately instituted remedial action upon learning of this requirement. She stated that she has investigated the possible negative impact to the value of their home due to the installation of the antenna, and has been reassured that there is none. Richard Cendoya, submitted pictures taken of other antennas installed throughout :the neighborhood. He reiterated that they were informed by the company installing the antenna that Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, and. some other cities do not require a permit. Mr. Cendoya. reported that the residence at 973 Azalea Drive had a similar antenna in the identical location. Robert Olea, 998 , Azalea Drive, Costa Mesa, supported the application, stating that satellite antennas are the wave of the future, and this particular antenna in not objectionable. Jeanne Olea, 998 Azalea Drive, Costa Mesa, reported that the Cendoya's house is an asset to the neighborhood and indicated no opposition to the antenna. Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, suggested altering the pole and antenna to render the application less offensive. He maintained that those who oppose the Cendoya's antenna probably do not support the concept in general. Rich Shapiro, 2515 Holly Lane, Newport Beach, stated that the installation of satellite antennas does not always take into consider- ation the most aesthetic position, and correctplacement is critical. 47 Jana Fremont, 3468 Fuchsia Street, Costa Mesa, representing the persons who signed -petitions opposing ZA-93-03 for the Planning Commission and Council, related the reasons for her objections and stressed that.the antenna should be relocated in the backyard, on the ground, and behind a six-foot fence, or it must be removed. She submitted photographs of the antenna as viewed from her residence. Ms. Fremont asked that the neighbors be allowed to view and approve any proposed repositioning of the antenna. Maryalice Wilson, 3435 Plumeria Place, Costa Mesa, reported that all utilities in the area are underground so the antenna is completely out of place. , Ken Bozarth, 243 East 20th Street, Apt. B, Costa Mesa, felt that denying the application would interfere with the applicants constitutional rights.
