APPROVAL
The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of September 17, 1968, were
APPROVED on MOTION by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman
Arth and carried unanimously.
Visitors
Mayor Hage welcomed the visiting members of Boy Scout Troop No. 145
and students from civic classes.
HEARING The appeal filed by Mrs. Paul R. Whittington for removal of one of
(Lot Split) the conditions (No. 13) imposed by the Planning Commission in its
f?....Ju.t approval 'of a lot split of her property at 1050 Rancho Road, was
~I J I continued from August 20 until this date in order for Council to
M.t Af~.-';UYascertain whether or not the Commission would have approved the
.. division of property without condition thirteen. Said condition
requires the execution of a covenant enforceable by the City and
recorded restricting further division of parcels 1 and 2. The
Planning Director advised that the Commission determined that it
would not have approved the lot split without the imposition of
the subject condition.
I
The hearing remaining open, Fred G. Kennedy, 735 W. Duarte Road, asked
what if any benefit would such a covenant serve; that it appears the
commis~ion is making a determination with which future commissions
would have to abide. He mentioned changes in the subject area which
could occur with the advent of the freeway. He commented that there
is a possibility of inverse condemnation in that by condemnation the
value of a property would be taken from the present owner; that the
covenant is notice to potential purchasers that certain things cannot
be done with the land. He enumerated the conditions imposed on the
approval with which there is no disagreement on the part of his client,
that 'they are only objecting to the imposition of the aforementioned
covenant. He noted the absence of opposition from adjacent property
owners at hearings before the Commission up to the present time and
asked fpr the deletion of the requirement.
No one else desiring to be heard the Hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried
unanimously.
Councilman Butterworth stated in part that he has great respect for
the commission and supports it whenever possible, but felt that its
action in this instance prejudices land owners by prejudging future
conditions unnecessarily; that in his opinion anyone interested

in purchasing the land for a lot split would surely have sufficient
business expertise to contact the city beforehand to ascertain the
possibility for property division; that it is unwise to place such
a restriction which in his recollection has not been imposed
previously on any other land.
Councilman Considine explored in chronological order past occurrences
at the commission level; that the original request was for a three
way lot split but when that application was strongly opposed by
surrounding property owners it was decided by the property owner that
a two way lot split would be acceptable. That in his opinion the
subject condition was imposed so that there would not be three private I
residences on the property and noted the location of the pool and the
house at the top of a grade. He felt the appeal goes back to the
original hope by the applicant for a three way split. He favored
retaining condition thirteen.
Councilman Arth agreed with Mr. Considine and recalled that the
Commission turned down a three way split; that the covenant could
at some future date be removed by Council action; that the covenant
would alert a future buyer to contact the City concerning further
division and that in his opinion the covenant is a legitimate
restriction.
Councilman Helms expressed respect for Councilman Butterworth and the
legal counsel for Mrs, Whittington, but felt that Council is bound
by the findings of the Commission. He referred to former testimony
and circumstances which indicated to him the retention of Condition
thirteen.
'-:l J
Mayor Hage agreed with the position of Councilman Butterworth and
expressed concern as to the reason in placing an extra cloud on
property when it would take a simple vote of a Council to remove it;
that it would place an extra burden on a future buyer. He then
called for the pleasure of the Council.
,Councilman Arth MOVED that the appeal for deletion of Condition thirteen
be denied; that the decision of the Planning Commission be sustained
and that the lot split be approved subject to all conditions imposed by
the commission. Motion seconded by Councilman Considine and carried
on roll call vote as follows:
AYES:
NOES:
ABSENT:
Councilmen Arth, Considine, Helms

In answer to an inquiry by Mr. Kennedy as to what' steps should be taken
should other property within the immediate area be divided, it was noted
that the procedure would have to start allover again through the
Planning Commission.
I
This being the time scheduled for hearing objections to the proposed
removal of weeds, rubbish and refuse, pursuant to Resol~tion No. 4029,
Mayor Hage declared the hearing open. ,No one desiring to be heard the
hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Considine', seconded by
Councilman Arth and carried unanimously. Motion to instruct the
Superintendent of Weed Abatement to proceed was made as the last item
in these minutes. See Page 11.

HEARING
(Howser)
~~~
18:7352
Appeal of Mrs. Helen S. Howser and Mrs. Clifford W. Waddoups from
the decision of the Planning Commission in its denial of a zone
variance to permit construction of a 20 unit apartment at 241 W.
Colorado Boulevard. Following an oral report by the Planning
Director on the findings of the commission as set forth in Resolution
No. 651 Mayor Hage declared the hearing open.
Fred N. Howser, 30808 Coast Highway, South Laguna, noted in chronological
order former attempts to develop the property which they have owned since
1953. He stated in part that in his opinion the present application could
be termed a renewal of an application for a zone variance which was
'approved in 1964 based on conditions in the immediate area which still
exist. He stated in part that he requested and received an extension of
one year which expired in 1965; that he did not proceed with construction
at that time due to economics and his inability to secure adequate financing
from~lending institutions; that there was a high vacancy factor at the
time; that this has now been reduced to about five percent.
He explored the site topography and surrounding improvements, the race
track, a large R-3 development to the east, Church and School, motel,
service station. He felt that the architectural design of the proposed
apartment 'units would not detract from the fine residential section
across the street; that it could act as a buffer; that although the
property is zoned R-l little property in the vicinity is used for or
improved with single family dwellings. In referring to photographs
which were part of the city record, he stated in part that there have
not been any changes or upgrading in the subject area since 1965 and
read in full an opinion rendered by James Nicklin, former City Attorney,
in that regard. He referred to the above as exceptional circumstances
applicable only to the subject property and asked for relief in being
permitted to develop the land which has been up for sale for some time
without success. In conclusion he submitted a petition with signatures
, of ten property owners on Oakhurst Lane in favor of the Zone variance.
James Giridlian, 345 W. Colorado Boulevard, spoke in support of the
application and stated in part that the construction costs would be
high due to the nature of the site; that it could only be used for
apartments so an owner could realize some financial return.
Mrs,. William Howard Roach, 301 Harvard Drive, opposed the development
and stated in part that she had received a letter from Mr. Howser
asking her consent to the construction. He set forth reasons for
permitting the original variance to lapse and reasons for the new
request. She noted that a 'for sale' sign has been on the property
, for some time indicating its use as an apartment although it is
zoned R-l. She asked Council to consider the homes across the
street valued at between $42,000 and $69,000. In conclusion she
asked ,that letters submitted to the Planning Commission be made part
of these proceedings.
E. J. Moscaret, 1125 Encanto Drive, President of the Rancho Santa
Anita Association, explained the boundary of the residences contained
within the association which includes the south side of Colorado
Boulevard directly opposite the subject property. He asked to go on
record on behalf of the association in opposition to the construction
of apartment units on the subject property; that it was felt it would
demean the properties to the south; that just what impact it would
have on property values is unpredictable but that coupled with the
already hazardous traffic situation it is something that the associa-
tion would not like to see occur. He commented that he recognized
the regrettable position of the applicants and that it is an
unfortunate situation.

Robert S. Whitmore, 512 Santa Maria Road, addressed Council stating
in part that his reasons for opposing the granting of the zone
variance have not changed in the last four years, if anything they
have probably increased due to the additional racing days. He
referred to accidents in the immediate area and felt that with an
additional twenty units the existing traffic hazard would increase.
He expressed hope for an elimination of drag stripping and screeching
of brakes as a result of the traffic signal currently being installed.
He felt Council should consider whether or not the signers of the
petition submitted by Mr. Howser are property owners and urged
Council to sustain the recommendation of the commission.
During the discussion on alternate uses for the site it was the
consensus of the Council that its first concern is to the residents,
but that it could not sterilize land by denying any reasonable use;
but through working with the architectural board of the association,--
the applicants and the planning staff, perhaps a good buffer develop-
ment could be worked out which would be acceptable to all concerned.
Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman
Butterworth and carried unanimously that the matter be continued to
NOVEMBER 5 at which time alternates will be discussed regarding
disposition of the subject property.
I
The application of the Foothill Disposal Company for a commercial
refuse collection permit was CONTINUED until October 15 to permit
staff to review and prepare its recommendation thereon.
Upon receipt of the concurrence of the Planning Commission in the
Reconnaissance Study prepared by Simon Eisner and Associates, the
Council MOVED to proceed with the necessary steps to undertake the
preparation of a General Plan for the City on MOTION by Councilman
Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried unanimously.
It was further MOVED by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by
Councilman Helms and carried unanimously that the committee which
recommended said consultants be utilized in recommending the
consultant for the General Plan. (Councilman Arth, Commissioner
Parker, Planning Director Phelps and the City Manager).
Councilman Considine MOVED to endorse the Plan prepared under the
auspices of the West San Gabriel Valley Planning Council by the
Los Angeles County Regional Planning Commission. Motion seconded
by Councilman Arth and carried unanimously.
The conditional use permit granted by the Planning Commission for
. the construction and operation of a bank with drive-in teller windows
at 118-128 E. Huntington Drive was RATIFIED on MOTION by Councilman
Considine, seconded by Councilman Butterworth and carried unanimously.
(Resolution No. 657 sets forth conditions therefor).
The conditional use permit granted by the Planning Commission for the
construction of a used car sales lot at 5 South Fifth Avenue was
RATIFIED on MOTION by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman
Arth and carried unanimously. (Resolution No. 658 sets forth
conditions therefor).
I
It was noted that the applicant, Phillips Petroleum Company, has
appealed the recommendation of the Planning Commission concerning
an application for a permit to operate a service station at 5 West
Live Oak Avenue and that a public hearing had been scheduled for
October 15, 1968. Resolution No. 660 recommends the construction
of a new facility. The Company desires to operate the existing
service station with some modifications.

project is the section of the Foothill Freeway from Santa Anita
Avenue to Rosemead Boulevard.

Council received reports of expressed opposition to Proposition 9
(Watson Amendment) as adopted by, 1) Arcadia Unified School District,
2) Arcadia Chamber of Commerce and 3) California Water Resources
Association. During the discussion it was noted that approximately
one hundred letters have gone to Commission members and various
clubs and associations concerning the measure.
Discussion held on a complaint from a citizen concerning a citation
issued by an officer 'in a plain unmarked police car. Councilman
Butterworth felt that during these times of violence in the street,
when people are not safe on city streets, that an individual could
react violently to an attempt of an unmarked car to pull him over
to the curb. He expressed the highest regard for the police depart-
ment but felt such a car should not be used for traffic violations
although it is legal to so do. Instances and situations were explored
and his position was concurred in by members of council.
Letters of appreciation were acknowledged and ordered filed. 1) from
a local citizen for the police and fire assistance in an emergency
.rescue situation and 2) for the assistance rendered by the city
multilith operator to the Friends of the California Libraries.
