Mr.-Aguilera said :staff has reviewed the proposal with the Public Works Director and it is his opinion that this route will work if the applicant can secure the proper permits from the railroad. Mr. Aguilera concluded if the City Council wishes to grant Mr. Siroonian's appeal of the,Planning Commission decision to deny, approval of Resolu- tion No. R-139-86 would be in order. The resolution emphasises that access to and from the property be limited to 9th Street, and it also stipulates the use of a solid metal fence to shield the project from view. Mayor Huntoon asked if anyone present desired to *peak"on this matter. Mr. Abe Siroonian, State Iron -&- Metal Company, Inc. ; 1,3780 Imperial Highway, Santa Fe Springs, showed the Council Members a new map in- dicating ingress and egress from the pt'opertp onto -the fre-eway via the 9th Street ramp. Mr. Siroonian also showed the Council Members a sample of the fencing that would' bee used rto surround the property. Mr. Ray Abril, 330 East "N" Street, stated he was in agreement with the new route, and stated the Council should make sure that'th'i's company abides by this new route. Mr. Wes Hayden, 279 West Litton Street, stated the Council should con- sider the aesthetic value of a project of this nature. Mr. Hayden said if the railroad wants to dismantle cars, they should do it in Bloomington, where it is now being done. Mr. Hayden felt this business would be of no real benefit to the City. Mr. George Adams. -Orange County Steel and State Iron & Metal Company, Inc., advised that the railroad had approached their company and asked them to do this type of work. Mr. Adams stated they operate two other facilities of this kind, at the Harbor and in Orange County. Mr. Adams said the Colton -area -is the largest switching bowl in the County. Mr. Adams stated the City should take a look at their operation at the Harbor or Orange County, and the work that Mr. Siroonian is doing, as they have a nice, clean operation, which would serve as a benefit to the City.
