The proposal revolves around the construction of a shopping center and dwelling units on the northeast corner of the intersection. Acted Months Ago Some six months ago plans were disapproved for a development offered by Fredericks Development Co. They changed their minds after the Fredericks Company submitted an alternate plan of development. The alternate, endorsed by the Planning Commission, called for five acres of commercial, five acres of apartments and five acres of single family homes. The commission had ruled that by placing single family homes to the east of the property, it would establish a single-family trend on adjacent undeveloped land. Councilmen disagreed. They said the adjacent land, and proposed single family homes, would be across the street from manufacturing zoned property. They said the homes would be incompatible with industry. Call For First Plan They then requested that the original plan, that called for just commercial and apartments, be reconsidered for passage. New Auto Club Head Lloyd L.

The threat of the state Public Utilities Commission to enter the picture and delay the condemnation proceedings of the city failed to materialize Monday. The PUC merely filed an order to show cause with the Anaheim city clerk requesting reasons why the voluntary transfer of the property was not a concern of the commission. As city officials had previously to those patrons who are non-residents of the city. No Rates Set The city has had a policy of higher rates to non-residents on the basis that such users do not pay taxes in support of the city-owned utility. So far, however, there has been no indication as to what the charges will be in the non-city locations of the former Dyke system. Anaheim was attempting to accomplish the take-over on the first of the month to make an easy transition in the billing period.

The PUC merely filed an order to show cause with the Anaheim city clerk requesting reasons why the voluntary transfer of the property was not a concern of the commission. As city officials had previously indicated, the transfer of the Dyke company property to the city of Anaheim was processed through condemnation authority and was not a voluntary move on the part of Dyke and the city. Matters of eminent domain are not within the purview of the PUC, city officials declare. PUC Asked Delay On Friday of last week the PUC moved to temporarily block the city's take-over of the Dyke property within the city by asking Judge Raymond Thompson of Superior Court to delay action in the case until Monday. The PUC indicated that on Monday they would be in a position to provide evidence of why they requested the delay. Assemblyman William Dannemeyer, Democrat of Fullerton, has indicated that he was a key figure in prompting the PUC to take the delay action. Dannemeyer has indicated his interest was stimulated by alleged complaints the city planned to charge double rates for water.
