I INVOCATION Rev. James E. Holland, Assistant Pastor, Church of the Good Shepherd Methodist. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Mayor Don W. Hage ROLL CALL PRESENT: ABSENT: Councilmen Arth, Butterworth, Considine, Helms, Hage None MINUTE 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 10- 1- 68 - 1 - HEARING (Weeds) -o1~ /196' 18:7351 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 Councilmen Butterworth, Hage None 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. 10-1-68 - 2 - I I 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. ~ 10-1-68 - 3 - !'IEARING (Rubbish Collection) (Continued) RECONNAISSANCE STUDY (Eisner) -:/-//~O WSG VALLEY ~ l'LAN1,.... .{. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (Bank) p: ~ j) n CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (Used Car Lot) p; CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (Service Station) HEARING SET p, 18:7353 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.

(Councilman Arth, Commissioner Parker, Planning Director Phelps and the City Manager).

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.

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. 10-1-68 - 4 - I I Freeway Postponement Opposed .1-1"11 L M D if 31 REPORT .f-/,;f DO 18:7354 On' MOTION by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman Butterworth and carried unanimously the City Council will go on record with Congressional representatives as strongly objecting to the action of the Bureau of Public Roads in reducing its federal expenditures from the Highway Trust Fund prior to June 30, 1969.
