B. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
John Fisher, 6692 Shetland Circle, expressed his concerns with
the request to accept conveyance of property formerly used as
the Orange County Transfer Station from the County to the City
for park purposes (Item A-2). He feels the transaction will
create a "financial Jonas" that the future homeowners will
have to swallow. He feels the land swap is being initiated to
speed up downtown development and urged the Commission to take
a closer look at the acquisition. He recommended that the
City urge the County to maintain the park and suggested an
estimate be prepared on the maintenance and the cost that will
be spent on the linear park over the years.
Paul Weatherly, 7622 Talbert Avenue, urged the Commission to
approve his extension of time request (Item D-1).

Conditional Use Permit No. 87-51 in conjunction with Conditional
Exception (Variance) No. 87-84, which was approved by the Planning
Commission on November 17, 1987. Conditional Use Permit No. 87-51

Code.
The applicant was previously granted a one-year extension of time by
the Planning Commission on November 15, 1988, due to the lengthy
structural plan check process and delays in concluding financial
arrangements for the project. To date, the applicant has received
all necessary approvals for the project, with the exception of the
