C) CONSENT CALENDAR
As Consent Calendar items are considered routine in nature,
they are normally enacted in one motion. The Mayor may remove
a questioned Consent Calendar item for separate action.
1) Written Communications (Refer to Staff)
a) Letter received from Terri Mullender addressing a
number of complaints stemming from activities at
1520 Norma Avenue. The primary complaint relates
to the installation of neon lighting within trees
in the rear yard. The lights not only illuminate
the rear yard, but also spill on to adjacent
properties. Another complaint relates to the
placement of railroad tracks within the front yard
area and possibly within the public right-of-way.
Lastly, the letter raises concerns over noise from
construction equipment. A letter will be sent to
Mrs. Mullender and the persons signing the petition
addressing their complaints and the findings of our
review regarding the safety of the intersection of
Norma Avenue and Butterfield Road.
b) Letter received from Mr. Robert Bacon requesting
the City Council to amend the Municipal Code
relative to'regulations for billiard parlors. Mr.
Bacon is representing Mr. George Khachatourian who,
on June 4, 1993, obtained approval of a Planning
Director's Modification to establish a billiard
parlor at 217-C North Citrus Street. The approval
allows 21 "hourly rental" billiard tables and
specifies that no alcoholic beverages may be sold
on the premises. Staff recommends that the City
Council refer the subject request to the Planning
Commission for review and recommendation back to
the City Council relative to the need for a code
amendment and, if found to be a necessary project,
establish its priority within the current Planning
Department Work Program.
