CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA
REGULAR MEETING
JUNE 21, 1966
The City Council of the City of Arcadia, California met in regular

The Minutes of the regular meeting of June 7, 1966 were approved as
submitted in writing on MOTION by Councilman Butterworth, seconded
by Councilman Hage and carried unanimously.
The hearing was scheduled at the request of property owners On Duarte
Road between Holly and El Monte Avenues and was for open discussion
on future improvements. The Director of Public Works summarized his
report dated June 16, 1966 (on file in the office of the City Clerk)
wherein the construction activities since 1955 were outlined including
daily and anticipated increase in traffic volume and the capacity of
the street to handle such increase, the congestion of which
contributes to accidents in the subject section of Duarte Road.
The Planning Director also presented an area study of the properties
on both sides of the street and summarized the contents of his report
dated June 6, 1966 which included land use, development pattern,
setbacks and reflected no properties with improvements existing in
the needed space for a widening program.
Whereupon Mayor Forman declared the hearing open and persons spoke
to the matter in part as follows:
James Coyle, 273 W. Duarte Road, asked for and received ansWers to
questions concerning the proposed widening. The possibility of
eliminating parking in the area which is zoned R-l was also suggested
as a way to gain a traffic lane on either side of the street.
Herbert Nicholson, 340 W. Duarte Road, stated in part that the
property owners are entitled to know what the City proposes to do -
whether the required land is to be acquired through condemnation,
dedication or by the offer of a fair price especially in instances
where improvements must be relocated.
The City Manager Pro Tempore explained the procedure which has been
followed in acquiring the land for widening purposes west of Baldwin
Avenue on Duarte Road and the Director of Public Works explored
procedure in constructing driveway aprons, relocation of utility
meters, block walls, chain link fences and shrubbery.

Dr. Ray Allen Young, 357 W. Duarte Road, stated in part that widening
will depreciate the value of property in the subject area and will
lessen the enjoyability of the property by the owners; that it would
become unsuitable for residences, and asked the amount of remuner-
ation the property owners could expect and what it would also cost
them.
Rev. Walter F. Dannaman, stated in part that in his op1n10n a fair
price should be offered the property owners before any thought is
given to condemnation; that sidewalks are also very important in this
busy thoroughfare; that he is in favor of widening Duarte Road all
the way and making it suitable for pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
I
Arthur Bauman, 49 Eldorado Street, spoke briefly regreting a dedi-
cation of 12 feet on Duarte Road which he made three years ago.
Dr. Daniel Willis, 415 W. Duarte Road, spoke in favor of widening
Duarte Road in the subject area and compared it to the section which
has already been improved; that a tax break would benefit the
property owners by the lessening of square feet and recommended the
widening.
Mr. Coyle stated in part that the widening would not benefit anyone;
that the fault lies with the City Council and the Planning Commission
by rezoning the areas to the west and east for apartments and semi-
public usage; that the residents in question had not been considered.
Extensive discussion ensued between staff and the City Councilmen
with Councilman Considine stating in part that ,the program has already
been implemented; the truck route has been 'established for some time;
the widening of Duarte Road has been provided for not only in the
City but in neighboring communities and County territory; that if the
subject area Wffe not widened it would become more hazardous to the
residents therein; that in his opinion sidewalks should certainly be
considered by discussion and negotiation and that perhaps in the
parkway areas some sort of limitatfon on the usage could be provided
which would inur to the benefit of the property owner.
The City Attorney explained the history of Duarte Road widening
acquisition; the method of arriving at a fair market price for land
the City has previously acquired for widening purposes west of
Baldwin Avenue; that all but one owner in that area accepted the
price offered by the City, and assured the property owners in the
area under discussion that the City has expressed no thought of
acquiring property for less than its market value.
Councilman Considine then MOVED that the hearing be CLOSED. Motion
seconded by Councilman Hage and carried unanimously.
I
The matter was referred to the Planning Commission and Modification
,Committee to further analyze the situation and ascertai~ if any
assistance can be granted within the program 'as established.
Reference was again made to the sidewalk program which contemplates
the use of City funds for construction of sidewalks to and from Holly
Avenue School and the Eigh School.
The Planning Director explored the background of the numerous
endeavors to develop the subject territory (opening of Los Altos
Avenue from Florence Avenue to approximately 160' west of its
westerly terminus). Projecturals were reviewed as he explained the
recommendation of the Planning Commission which was for disapproval

of the tentative map. Its decision was based on two points: 1) that
in the past the Commission had recommended approval of other
subdivision maps proposed for the area because in each instance Los
Altos Avenue was to be extended to Florence Avenue - in this case
only a portion of the street is proposed, 2) the Commission was of
the opinion that should the map be approved as submitted it would be
committed' to approval of at least two other lot splits for property
on the north side of Los Altos Avenue which would have less than 75'
in width (505 Los Altos Avenue which now has a width of 130'; the
other being 518 Palm Drive which is 69' wide). The Commission felt
that at some future time the property On the north side of Los Altos
could be developed the same as those on the south side which are
proposed to have 75' frontage as required by Code - hence the
recommendation for denial. He concluded his presentation by referring
to the conditions which should be imposed in the opinion of the
Planning Department if the tentative map is approved.
Extensive discussion held on the size of the proposed lots. The
subdivider, Arthur Bauman, spoke at length concerning his tentative
map and conditions imposed on former approved maps which he said were
impossible to comply with. He read in its entirety a written
statement (on file in the office of the City Clerk) which explored
the history of the subject matter since November 1962 at which time
a map was considered for the subject area. He also referred to
motions passed at regular meetings which directed the staff to
proceed on some specific action. Mr. Bauman contended that the
directions were not carried out and stated in part that on the
suggestion of Councilman Considine he had prepared and submitted the
subject map for which he asked approval.

521 Woodruff Avenue, asked for approval of the proposed
She is an owner of one of the deep lots within the
George Mason, 505 Los Altos Avenue, owner of property immediately
east of the proposed subdivision on toe north side of the street,
stated in part that there were discrepancies in the letter read by
Mr. Bauman and in answer to his inquiry he was advised that the
developer would bear the entire cost of street improvement except any
trust which the City Council might decide to place on one property
which extends from Palm Drive in the center of the subdivision (Lot 6)
which the developer owns. However, the City Attorney pointed out
that the conditions of approval of the'lot split at 501 W. Woodruff
Avenue would require the subdivider of those particular lots to pay
their pro rata share of the cost of improvements of the opening of
Los Altos Avenue.
I
Considerable discussion ensued concerning conditions of approval of
former maps. It was noted that the conditions to be imposed, should
the tentative map presently before the City Council be approved, are
only applicable to the area proposed for the subdivision - not on any
property outside thereof including Los Altos Avenue.
Mrs. George Mason, 505 Los Altos Avenue, spoke briefly concerning
past occurrences with Mr. Bauman in connection with their property
and the development of the entire area.
Councilman Hage stated in part that he would like to see the subject
property developed but that the land as divided does not meet the
minimum requirements; that to approve the map could set a precedent.
He then MOVED that the recommendation of the Planning Commission be
SUSTAINED and that tentative map of Tract No. 27275 be DISAPPROVED.

Councilman Arth seconded the motion and stated in part that in his
opinion the present Council is not bound by oral statements of former
Councils unless some legislative action had taken place and that
based on the size of the lots he concurred with the motion.
Councilman Butterworth stated in part that lots have been approved of
less than perfect standards; that the recommended motion sterilizes
the land and what is to be done if it is left in this condition;
that there should be some solution other than denying the map. He
continued in part that value is created by subdivisions which place
additional revenue on the tax rolls; that property owners in the
subject area will be left with waste land on which they must pay
taxes. He referred to one of the conditions in the approval of
former maps where the City Council did not fulfill a commitment which
was for condemnation of land for a street; that if the map is denied
there whould be another way to develop the land in order to recognize
the position of the subdivider; that he did not know why the City did
not follow through on its commitment.
I
Mayor Forman observed that he had always hoped to have a complete
development in the area - one that would go all the way through with
the required lot sizes - and that it should be a total plan not
piecemeal.
Councilman Considine stated in part that he had suggested that he
would consider a map which would deadend at the point reflected on
the map presently before Council, but that in his opinion the
subdivider had not prepared the map just to satisfy him; that it was
not necessarily true that he said he would be willing to approve a
map submitted On this one condition being fulfilled.
-Discussion continued on the possibility of the developer securing
additional land whereby the lots could be made to meet the minimum
size requirement. It was noted that only Lot 5 is undersized by IS'
and the subdivider recounted that this particular lot size had been
approved for him three previous times by the Planning Commission and
the Council, and referred to 65' lots which he has also had approved.
He concluded his remarks by stating in part that in his opinion the
City Council is honor bound in this instance.
Councilman Hage again referred to the danger, in his op1n10n, of
setting a precedent and noted his motion to sustain the Commission's
recommendation which had been seconded by Councilman Arth. Mayor
Forman then called for the roll call vote as follows:

The letter of appreciation from Johnny Longden was received and
ordered FILED,
The request of the signers of a petition for annexation of properties
on South Tenth Avenue (2531, 2539, 2547 and 2553 S. Tenth Avenue) was
considered in detail. It was brought out by persons interested in
annexing to the City that portions of their property are divided
between the City and the County and that they desired to become a
total part of Arcadia in which they shop, attend Church and the like.

The City Council was in accord with this desire and it was MOVED by
Councilman Considine that annexation proceedings be instituted for
the entire street to be within the local jurisdiction and that staff
consider other properties lying within and without City-County
boundaries in said area. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Butterworth.
- Discussion was held on whether or not it would be inviting a lot of
work due to the necessity of interviewing countless numbers of
homeowners at this time; that it'probably would be better not to
actively promote added territory as it has been the practice of the
City to clear up boundary lines at the request of the homeowner.
Councilman Considine then withdrew the portion of his motion
pertaining to "other properties". The MOTION stands that annexation
proceedings be instituted for the annexation of 2531, 2539, 2547 and
2553 S. Tenth Avenue as petitioned by the homeowners. Councilman
Butterworth withdrew his second to the first motion and seconded the
main motion, which was carried unanimously.
It was MOVED by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Arth and
carried unanimously that permission be granted the Arcadia DeMolay
to use city owned property at 504 S. Santa Anita Avenue for parking
purposes in connection with the July 4th fireworks display and also
to conduct a concession stand for the sale of refreshments with the
appropriate insurance coverage.
William Hovanitz, subdivider of Tract No. 30284, had requested an
extension in connection with one of the conditions of approval of
said tract: '~emoval of all structures within or across the tract
boundary". Specifically he referred to a stable which still remains
on, the property. It was noted that the tract is not to be completed
'legally until November of this year and the request is for an
extension from that time.
Harry Meskell, 1360 Michillinda Avenue, on behalf of his neighbors
and himself, asked that the City Council deny the request for an
extension and referred to the stable which does not contribute to the
aesthetic values of surrounding properties and to the fly problem
resulting from the maintaining of horses thereon.
Basing its decision on the resident annoyance the City Council denied
the request on MOTION by Councilman Arth, seconded by Councilman Hage
and carried on roll call vote as follows:

It is to be noted that Councilman Butterworth did not participate in

in the roll call vote.
As a point of information the City Manager Pro Tempore advised that
the Arcadia Historical Society has been endeavoring to retain the
Baldwin Railroad Station and to have it moved eventually to the
Arboretum; that the City has in conjunction with the Society and
other interested parties, worked on the project for two years and

The Director of Public Works advised that agreements with the State
Division of Highways providing for the maintenance of State Highways
in Arcadia have been reviewed in detail by the staff and recommended
the execution thereof. He explained that the purpose therefor is to
combine two sections (210a and 210b), Foothill Boulevard, into a
single agreement in order to delegate consistent maintenance functions
over the entire route within the City, rather than dividing the
responsibilities on the two sections as previously provided. The new
agreement would also increase the maximum allowable expenditure rate
per mile in order to keep abreast of the current cost experience -
$2,400 to $3,500 per mile. Route 210 is 1.88 miles in length and
route 248 is 3 miles in length.
It was MOVED by, Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman
Considine and carried on roll call vote as follows:

deficiency of funds for the current program and noted that there are
currently accrued and unbudgeted 2107 Gas Tax Funds in excess of
$7500 credited to the City but held by the California State Division
of Highways and recommended an amendment thereto.

The owner of property at 154 E. Huntington Drive, (Kermit Hartzler)
filed a Declaration pursuant to the requirements of Section 9248 of
the Arcadia Municipal Code relating to the continuance of a non-
conforming use of the subject property (used car sales lot).
Mr. Hartzler is desirous of continuing the rental of the property
for said use.
Upon advice that all records of the City support the statements set

seconded by, Councilman Hage and carried unanimously that the
Declaration of Kermit Hartzler be APPROVED and FILED. I
LaMarr Farrar had requested the City Council to waive requirements to .
permit the construction of a warehouse on La Salle Street and authorize
the issuance of a building permit. At the City Council meeting of
June 7 it was determined that no action be taken on any proposed
1911 Act improvement of La Salle Street and adjacent areas; that the
matter of Chicago Park development be referred to the Planning
Commission and Planning Department for study and recommendation which
the Planning Director anticipated would take about 60 days.
The City Manager Pro Tempore summarized the chronological background
of the modification request (report dated June '17, 1966) reflecting
progress to date and the basis on which the building permit was
withheld in the subject instance.
Mr. Farrar addressed Council briefly stating in part that he proposes
to construct several buildings but is primarily interested in the
warehouse construction.
During the discussion the City Council emphasized its desire to see
the subject area developed by free enterprise, however, inasmuch as
this is the last major undeveloped industrial site in the City all
plans should be finalized prior to any construction; that by
following this course Mr. Farrar would also benefit.
In order to withhold any additional building permit requests during
the time the study is being undertaken, it was the consensus of the
City Council that a moratorium be declared for a specified period.
Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Butterworth that the City
Attorney prepare an emergency ordinance declaring a moratorium in
connection with the Chicago Park Tract unless the land is relieved
from the moratorium at a time prior to the expiration of the mora-
torium period. The ordinance is to be presented later in this
meeting. 'Motion seconded by Councilman Arth and carried unanimously.
Jack B. Hartwick, 2~G W. Las Flores Avenue, asked for and received
assurance that the City Council would direct the City Manager Pro
Tempore to provide police protection for the children attending the
new Baldwin Stocker Elementary School on Lemon Avenue west of Holly
Avenue. The school will open its doors for the first time on June 22.
He also requested a crossing guard during the racing season.

Arthur Bauman addressed the City Council at length, asking direct
questions of the City Attorney concerning what redress was at his

questions were predi.cated on facts not in evidence and were out of

~ Council to reconsider the matter or to seek a Court Review. In
answer to his inquiry as to how to institute an investigation of the
procedures followed on Duar~Road property, he was advised either to
convince the City Council that such an investigation was warranted,
or to seek his own legal counsel. Mr. Bauman also asked about record
falsification and recall. As to the first item he was advised that
falsification of records is a felony; that the elections code
prescribes the procedure for recall.
