inequities. Mr. Hanson of the O.C. Health Department backed up the
statements of Mr. Nelson. Hearing was then declared closed.
Council consensus after much discussion from members of the Council and
the audience was made in the form of a motion by Councilman Chermak
to have the Orange County Building Department act as agent for the
City and a stay of 90 days be imposed before action is caused to
have the four items required in the letter dated December 23, 1970
to be complied with. Councilman Thorpe seconded the motion and it
carried unanimously. Qualification of intent was that this will afford
the property owner time to demolish the buildings as relocation takes
place or within a 90 -day period. If vacating and compliance with
demolition has not been accomplished at the end of the 90 -day period,
