RESOLUTION NO. 4848
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ARCADIA MAKING FINDINGS OF FACT, ADOPTING A
CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION AND ORDERING THE INSTALLATION
OF TEMPORARY TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES AT VARIOUS
INTERSECTIONS IN THE SANTA ANITA OAKS AREA.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE
AND DETERMINE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That we hereby make the following findings of
fact:
A. By letter from its President dated November 27, 1979,
the Santa Anita Oaks Homeowners Association, representing numerous
homeowners in that area bounded by Foothill Boulevard, Orange Grove,
Baldwin Avenue, and Santa Anita Avenue in the City of Arcadia (herein-
after referred to as "Santa Anita Oaks"), requested this City Council
to erect temporary barracades at the intersections of Rancho and
San Carlos Roads at Orange Grove, Rodeo and Arbolada Roads at Foothill
Boulevard, to correct traffic problems created by heavy traffic on
Foothill Boulevard traversing said area caused amongst other factors,
primarily by the installation of 210 Freeway. The Association addi-
tionally requested that traffic counts be taken, during and after the
trial period. A copy of said letter is attached as Exhibit "A".
B. That as a result of aforesaid request, this Council ordered
published a notice of public hearing, a copy of which is attached as
Exhibit "B", and as noticed said hearing was held by this Council on
March 20, 1979, at which time all persons interested were allowed to
be heard. Said hearing was continued to June 27, 1979, at which time
all persons interested were allowed to be heard.
C. A copy of the transcript of said March 20, 1979 hearing
and the Minutes of the June 27, 1979 hearing are on file in the office
of the City Clerk of the City of Arcadia, and are by this reference
incorporated herein.

D. That as a result of said testimony, we find that the
traffic conditions in Santa Anita Oaks have created traffic problems
dangerous to the health, safety and welfare of the residents of
said area as well as persons using the streets in said area.
E. That we hereby find that strict Police traffic patrol
of said area has not eliminated the dangerous conditions specified
in I'D" above.
F. That based on traffic engineering principles and traffic
investigations conducted by the Arcadia Police and Arcadia Public
Works Departments, that we hereby find that the Director of Public
Works has determined that temporary traffic control devices at afore-
said intersections, including the intersection Oak Meadow Road at
Orange Grove, in lieu of temporary barracades, are necessary to
eliminate the danger to the public health, safety and welfare, for
the protection of persons using said streets and will concurrently
minimize the impact on street traffic patterns in Santa Anita Oaks
G. We hereby find that the temporary installation of traffic
control devices specified in Exhibits 1, 2, 3, and 4, attached here-
to, are Class 1 existing facilities exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act under Section 15l0l(c) of the California
State Environmental Impact Report Guidelines involving the minor
a1tera~ion of existing public streets and the Director of Public
Works is hereby directed to file the Notice of Exemption, on file
with the Arcadia City Clerk, with County Clerk of the County of
Los Angeles.
SECTION 2. That the Director of Public Works is hereby
directed to install the temporary traffic control devices specified
on Exhibits 1, 2, 3, and 4, attached hereto, and by this reference
incorporated herein for a period of nine to twelve months and to
report to this Council every six weeks regarding effectiveness of
the traffic control devices.

SECTION 3. That the Clerk of the Council shall certify
to the adoption of this resolution.

vote of at least three Councilmen; to wit:
AYES:

Dear Mr. Howard:
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you and Captain
William Oliver for the time you spent discussing the heavy automo-
bile traffic conditions in the Santa Anita Oaks area,
We request that the Arcadia City Council place on their agenda
the placement of temporary barricades in the following locations in
order that the necessary information can be gathered to determine
how to proceed with the traffic problems in our residential areas:
1, Rancho at Orange Grove;
2. San Carlos at Orange Grove;
), Rodeo at Foothill; and
4. Arbolada at Foothill,
It is our understanding that traffic
fore, during and after the trial period,
portant to be able to analyze the traffic
upon the other streets in the Santa Anita
counts will be taken be-
We think it is most im-
impact of the barricades
Oaks area,
As we discussed on Wednesday, your suggestions and support are
very important to the solution of this problem. If, after you and
Captain Oliver have had an opportunity to study our traffic predica-
ment, you would like to meet with us to further discuss the best
way to solve the problem as well as present our request to the City
Council, we would be most pleased to do so,
I~e look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
SA~Al~ITA O~S/HOMEOWNERS

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
BEFORE THE
ARCADIA CITY COUNCIL
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 1979 at 7:30 p.m.
in the Arcadia City Hall Council Chamber, 240 West Huntington Dr.,
Arcadia, California, a public hearing will be held by and before
the City Council on the following:
REQUEST BY THE SANTA ANITA OAKS HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION THAT THE
FOLLOWING ROADWAYS BE TEMPORARILY BARRICADED:
1. ARBOLADA AT FOOTHILL BLVD.
2. RODEO AT FOOTHILL BLVD.
3. SAN CARLOS AT ORANGE GROVE AVENUE
4. RANCHO ROAD AT ORANGE GROVE AVENUE
FOR THE PURPOSE OF EVALUATING THE FEASIBILITY OF PERMAN~NT CLOS~S
TO TRAFFIC AT THESE LOCATIONS.
The area that will be impacted by the proposed closures is hounded
by Baldvin Avenue and Santa Anita Avenue on the West and East and
by Orange Grove Avenue and the Foothill Freevay on the North and South.
The nature of the impact will be the resultant redistribution of public
traffic to circumvent the temporary closures and an increase in response
time by the Fire Department when responding to emergency calls due to
circuitous route that would remain open after the proposed closure.
It is recommended that you discuss this matter with your neighbors
and be prepared to take advantage of the opportunity to make
your views known to the City Council at said public hearing.
