KkSTER PLAN OF

Huntington Harbour Corp., filed with the Commission the Master

with eight islands and 18 miles of water front property. Of the
860 acres in the development approximately 30.10 will be in water
area and the remainder in single family, multiple family, co=er-
cial and school uses. Also proposed are several public beach
areas.

in filing the Master Plan is so that the City may adopt the plan
as part of the overall Master Plan of Land Use for the City.
After discussion by the Commission, the
motion of Letson, Seconded by Worthy to hold a public hearing on
the Master Land Use Plan of Huntington Harbour as an amendment

TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO 4304 - REVISED
Number of Lots: 126 Subdivider: K. W. Koll Construction Co.
Total Acreage: 26.7± Engineer: Voorheis-Trindle-Nelson
Located west of Bushard Street and
south of Garfield Avenue, and legally described as being a proposed
subdivision of a portion of the NE 4 of the N`vJ 4 of Section 6-6-10.
The Secretary read a report which
pointed out the subdivision problems in the Talbert Valley and
the one major problem of irrigation of farm lands by the Talbert
Irrigation District with undisinfected sewer effluent. The Health
Department has reported that the irrigation presents a disease
transmission hazard and they cannot recommend approval of a
subdivision within the district.
I:enneth Carlson, agent for the sub-
divider, addressed the Commission, and stated that the amount of
traffic in the area has increased already causing more and more
people to travel thru the Water District and'that the proposed
tract would not add to the problem that much.
The City Attorney was asked the
legality of approving only the layout and design of the tract and
not give full approval. The Attorney stated that the tentative
tract could be approved subject to any conditions required by the
Planning Commission.
The Secretary pointed out that
majority of the area is being farmed at the present time, and
using sewage effluent for irrigation.
Dan Parton, of Vanguard Construction
Co., addressed the Commission, and stated that it would be to the
-2-

Minutes - H. B. Plannin-- Commission
Wednesday, September 6th, 1961
City's advantage to have the area developed residentially
rather than being irrigated with undisinfected sewer effluents.
Charles Cohan, representing Doll
Construction Co., addressed the Commission, and stated that
the Koll Construction Co. ownes other land in the area, and
this parcel is further from the Talbert Water District
their
than any other parcels, under/ownership.
,Ivan Harper, 8341 Garfield Avenue,
Huntington Beach, addressed the Commission and stated that
there are other homes situated in the area, in addition to
the Pacific Sands development.
City Engineer, James R. Wheeler,
pointed out that the subdivision known as the Pacific Sands
was under construction before the Health Department found them
to be within the district.
Bill Tressler,,Orange County Health,
Department representative, pointed out that no distance for
homes from the irrigation by sewer effluent has been established
by them, but prior to the occupancy of any homes in Pacific
Sands, adjoining farm land,was irrigated up to 1200 ft. and
one irrigation with 600 ft. of the development. Mr. Tressler
stated, that it was questionable whether chloronation of the
effluent would be totally effective, and other sources of water
would be costly. The District does hold a permit issued by
the County Agricultural Department, and was reviewed by other
county agencies. The farmers did not intend to subdivide
the land and at that time, rather keep it for farming purposes.
The number of vehicles on Adams Avenue and Brookhurst Street
has increased considerably and does impose a definite problem.
Mr. Tressler further pointed out that the families Mr. Harper
-3-

mentioned as living within the district were among those that had
originally formed the district and would strongly oppose the
County denying, them the right to farm the land.
The Secretary read the report of the
Subdivision Committee recommending that -the Planning Commission
approve only the design and layout of the tract, and at such time
as the health problem is•solved, the tract should be considered
again to complete the tract approval.
Commission discussion was held at length.

change in the commercial corner that was requested by the
Subdivision Committee. He also objected to the condition '

pedestrian bridge across the flood control channel in the
vicinity of Lots 179 or 187 but had no objection to the require-
ment of providing the walkways, leading to the pedestrian bridge
wherever it might be constructed.
The Secretary pointed, cut that the corner
of Cannery and Adams was suggested for commercial development
because it was a more logical location for business than at the
half section corners.
Mr. Parton representative of Vanguard
Construction Co., addressed the Commission and stated they
were dedicating the entire park site to the City which exceeded
the amount required by the Subdivision Ordinance and would like
relief from the requirement of the pedestrian foot bridl-e across
the flood control channel.
