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. -1- 4848 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. -2- 4848 SECTION 3.

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 IASS;;O#~~tk /~ --- Bruce H. Archibald President BHA:nk 4848 EXHIBIT "A" ~ ,-.. " t.- I.,J \~ 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. tZ~ /I ~.t~ CHESTER N.
