A RESOLUTION OF TirE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ARCADIA, CALIFORIUA, DENYING THE PETITION
FO,l THE EXTENSION AND ENLARGEMENT OF AN EXIST-
ING VARIANCE AFFECTING CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY
IN SAID CITY.
WHEREAS, there was filed with the City Planning Commission
the petition of Herbert Kal11woda as owner, requesting a zone
variance affecting the Westerly lOO feet of that portion of Lot
69, Santa Anita Colony per map recorded in Book 42, Page 87, Mis-
cellaneous Records of Los Angeles County as more particularly des-
cribed in said application, to permit the extension of a variance
heretofore gra:nted for an add1tional five year period and the ex-
tension of said variance as granted ana thus extended to an addition-
al 25 feet of adjacent property; and
WHEREAS, a:rter due notice as required by the provisions of Ordin-
ance No.760 of the City of ArcadIa a public hearing was held on the
matter by and before this Commission on the 25th day of August 1953,
which hearing was at the request of applicant regularly continued
. to September 8, 1953. at which times all interested persons were
.
.
given an opportunity to be heard and to present evidence.
WHEREAS, on September 22, 1953, said Commission passed, approved
and adopted itl3 certain ReBdution No.123 wherein and whereby it
made its findil1gs relative to the requested variance and recommended
to this Council the requested variance be denied.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City or Arcadia does
hereby find, determine and resolve as fol10W6:
SECTION l. That there were letters of protest filed by five
owners of adjolning properties and a petition bearing twelve sig-
natures of adjoining owners and residents within the immediate
vicinity, all I)rotesting the granting of any portion of the variance
requested and lltatlng their reason therefor.
SECTION 2. The variance affecting subject property heretofore
originally granted and as subsequently extended, will not expire
until March 7, 1955. A request for a sinular extension was re-
commended for denial by said City Planning Commission on September
23, 1952, and was denied by this City Ceuncil on October 2l, 1952,

. pursuant to Resolution ro.2307 for the reason there was no apparent
need tor further extension of the existing variance and that the
further extensj.on of the variance would have a retarding affect
upon the development of unimproved adjoining properties; that the
extension was projected so far into the future as to make the inte-
gration of business conditions on subject and adjoining properties
.
difficult if not impossible; that each of said reasons are indivi-
dually and collectively applicable at this time. That the request
. for the extension of the variance to additional property 1s totally
unnecessary foX' the protection of property rights of the applicant.
That the letters and petitions of protest reflect the retardent effect
of applicant's present business and the reasons tor not extending
the same so far into the future; that the owner of the largest single
parcel of adjacent property has for some time planned extensive light
commercial development thereof; that the previous request for ad-
ditional time wa~enied as being prematire; that in the light of
present plans for the development of adjacent properties the pre-
.
.
sent requested time extension is even more premature. That the
evidence presented indicates that the restrictions imposed by the
present variance are not being complied with. That the requested
variance will definitely be detrimental to adjacent properties and
improvements thereon and injurious and detrimental to the publiC
welfare, health and convenience. That the property is presently
properly zoned and fully adequate provision haa been made for all
conditions that may be peculiar to 8ubject property.
SECTION 3. That for each of the foregoing reasons the
request of Herbert Kalliwoda for extension and enlargement of the
existing variance affecting subject property be and the same is
hereby denied.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption
of this Resolution.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing Resolution was adopted
at a regular meeting of the City Council held on the lst day ot
December, 1953, by the affirmative vote or the following Councilmen,
