On MOTION by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Considine
and carried unanimously the Minutes of the Regular Meeting of
September 6, 1966 were APPROVED as submitted in writing.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 597 recommended approval of the
zone change application filed by Ralph D. Stogsdill for a reclassi-
fication from Zone R-l to CoO on property at 2612 South Baldwin
Avenue.
Mayor Forman declared the hearing open. Henry Hege, 651 West Duarte
Road, appeared on behalf of the applicant and advised that the
building is to be completed by March 1967 and that in his opinion
there would be no objection to imposing a further condition that the
improvement be erected within an 18 month period. No one else
desiring to speak to the matter the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman Hage and carried
unanimously.
In reviewing the parking area it was the consensus of the City
Council that a further condition should be imposed - that a 6' wall
be constructed on the south property line to prevent any possible
use of this property for parking purposes by patrons of adjacent
businesses; that it be reserved for the professional office building.
Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman
Butterworth and carried unanimously that the recommendation of the
Planning Commission be sustained and that property at 2612 South
Baldwin Avenue be reclassified from Zone R-l to Zone CoO subject to
the following conditions:

substantially in compliance with the approved preliminary plans

Pursuant to Division 9" Part 3, Chapter 1, Article IV of the Arcadia
Municipal Code a complaint by three persons had been lodged against
the keeping of homing pigeons at 2057 Highland Oaks Drive, It was
alleged that the birds were maintained in such a manner, quantity and
location as to constitute a nuisance. The Acting City Manager
investigated the matter, determined the situation to be a nuisance
and so notified the owner of said premises, Roger Sands, with
alternative action recommendations. (Communication dated August 18,
1966), Mr. Sands subsequently appealed this determination and
pursuant to Arcadia Municipal Code Section 4139.2.2 a public hearing
was scheduled for this date and time.
Mayor Forman declared the hearing open and Mr, Sands read a statement
setting forth the background of the keeping of the birds; that a real
effort had been made to maintain the birds in such a manner as to
not create a nuisance to the neighbors, in particular those residing
at 242 Carolwood Drive who had made the initial complaint and that
they had complied with the instructions of the City Building
Department in relocating the structure housing the pigeons. He
explained the physical layout of the properties and observed that un-
fortunately the property on Carolwood Drive is on a much higher level
than his and overlooks both his north and rear yard areas, He
continued that in discussions with his immediate neighbors to the
rear, south and to the east, he had been told that they are not
bothered with the birds and explained that homing pigeons do not land
on neighbor's roofs or yards. He stated in part that his son
maintains the building in a sanitary condition which has met with the
County Health Department's regulations in this regard. He concluded
by advising that the birds are kept in excess of 35' from his
neighbor's home and suggested various ways in which he could and
would improve the situation: 1) by landscaping the subject area, I
2) install doors which would keep the birds in complete darkness for
a longer period of time in the early morning hours and 3) reduce the
number of birds, stating that his son can only efficiently care for
18 birds.
Jack Pontius, 2051 Highland Oaks Drive, addressed the Council in
substance that he has not seen any evidence of an unsanitary
condition and referred to the endeavor which has been made by
Mr. Sands to comply with all regulations; that the activity is
comparable to others in which young people participate and asked
that Mr. Sands be given the opportunity to pursue the improvements
suggested.
2.

Eugene Johnson, 2052 Highland Oaks Drive, referred to the wildlife
encountered in the subject area; that it is a canyon in surroundings
and that he did not even realize the pigeons were being maintained;
that he has not seen the coop from Highland Oaks Drive and spoke in
favor of permitting the activity to continue.
Mr. John Lauder, 2043 Highland Oaks Drive, stated in part that he
could not complain about the birds as he enjoys watching them in
flight and sees nothing disagreeable about them.
I
Mrs. Roger Sands explained her son's interest in the act'ivity and
what it means to him; that he is presently considering entering the
field of veterinary medicine.
Louis Lasser, 242 Carolwood Drive, spoke in opposition to the keeping
of the birds with reference to code sections regulating the keeping
of any fowl less than 35' from a residence; that even with the'
relocation of the coop from its original placement of 5' from his
bedroom window the noise has been unabated and the coop could still
be viewed from his home. (At this point in his presentation he
exhibited projecturals of the situation from various angles).' He
stated further that he works late at night and has been unable to
sleep during the early morning hours; that his primary objection is
to the noise but that the presence of the coop does not add to the
aesthetics of the view. He asked that the determination of the City
Manager 'Protempore in his letter of August 18, 1966 be sustained.
Henry McNulty, 245 Carolwood Drive, asked that the decision of the
City Council be based on whether or not there is a violation of the
regulations.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman Hage and carried
unanimously.
On being informed that there is no structural provision in the City
Code governing pigeon coops Councilman Considine commented that of
all such buildings he had seen that the subject one is the nicest.
The City Attorney explained Section 4136.1 concerning the distance
from any dwelling that all fowl, birds, etc., must be maintained
(35'); that the Section does not expressly exempt the dwelling of the
owner of the fowl; explained the Section's analogy and relationship
to a similar Section formerly in the State Health & Safety Code and
later transferred to the Administrative Code.
I
Councilman Butterworth stated in part that in his opinion this is
a good faith dispute between residents; that both sides are sincere;
however children are always going to have homing pigeons, cats, dogs
and all varieties of animals; that Arcadia is a family community;
that to him the structure where the birds are maintained is not an
offensive appearing one; that if the noise factor could be improved
and the subject section landscaped as represented by Mr. Sands, he
would be in favor of setting aside the ruling of the Acting City
Manager and that the regulation requiring the building to be not less
than 35' from any dwelling be complied with to the full extent that
it is applicable.
The other Councilmen concurred in the views expressed, whereupon it
was MOVED by Councilman Butterworth that the facts complained of do

The City Attorney explained that the Council has found and determined
that keeping of homing pig~ons as complained of does not constitute a
nuisance, but that they must be kept in accordance with any other
applicable regulations. Upon questioning by, Councilman Butterworth I
the City Attorney. stated he would research the legislative history of
Section 4136.1 and report to the City Council on the applicability of
that section to the premises of the owner of the poultry and fowl.
The City Council received and accepted a report from the Planning
Department regarding procedures for the development of the Chicago
Park Industrial area, wherein it was stated that the area involves
92 acres with three persons owning 85 percent of the land. It was
the consensus of the City Council ,that the property owners should
participate in the determination as to the method of development,
1) under the 1911 Improvement Act or 2) under the creation of a
community redevelopment agency. It was noted that a moratorium which
placed a building and use limitation on the area will automatically
expire (adopted under Section 65858 of the Government Code).
The City Council explored various aspects of the proposed program and
the following actions ensued:
MOTION by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman Butterworth
and carried unanimously that the City Council give tentative approval
to the Chicago Park Study.
MOTION by Councilman Arth, seconded by Councilman Hage and carried
unanimously that the report be referred to the Planning Commission
for study and recommendation.
MOTION by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman Arth and
carried unanimously that the property owners involved be given copies
of the preliminary report so they may be in attendance at future
discussions and may if they so desire initiate any action on their
own.
After considerable discussion concerning the inclusion of sidewalks,
it was MOVED by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman
Butterworth and carried unanimously that the Arcadia Municipal Code
be modified to require that all industrial buildings be constructed
only on dedicated improved streets complete with curbs and gutters.
I
It was MOVED by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman
Butterworth and carried unanimously that a public hearing be
scheduled for November 15, 1966 on the recommendation of Planning
Commission (Res. No. 598) concerning amendments to the text of the
Zoning Ordinance. The date will permit the Chamber of Commerce
sufficient time in which to study some of the proposed changes.
It was MOVED by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman
Considine and carried unanimously that the City Council grant the
request of Henry H. Hege' for an extension of six months in con-
nection with the requirement of Resolution 3824 for submission of

working drawings of a proposed professional building at the southeast
corner of Lovell Avenue and Duarte Road. (Deadline will now be May
19, 1967).
The City Manager advised that the novice training and competitive
Swimming program conducted under the auspices of the Recreation
Department as part of the summer activity had been highly successful
With an average daily attendance of 150; that it had been conducted
On a self supporting basis with receipts from the participants
~eeting all city personnel expense. However receipts did not cover
the maintenance charges impoBed by the School District. It was his
recommendation and that of the Recreation Department that the program
be continued throughout the school year under City control; with
permission to be gained from the School District to use the pool 5
days per week (5 P.M. to 8 P.M. plus one or two Saturdays monthly).
It was noted that the present fee of $5 per month per person would
not cover the maintenance costs; that some additional lighting would
be needed; that $600 is estimated for this coverage and that the
School District would be approached for maximum participation.
Discussion ensued on the possibility of increasing the fee in order
to make the program self sustaining. Recreation Director John
Panatier addressed Council in this regard concerning statistics in
participation. In response to an inquiry he stated in part that in
his opinion the families involved would not object to partially,
assisting toward the maintenance of the pool; however, that a determi-
nation would probably have to be made as to whether or not a charge
would be made to persons who picnic at Wilderness Park, 7th graders
who play touch football and the like. He also :responded to an inquiry
that every attempt would be made to operate within the total recre-
ation budget, however, that it presently appears doubtful that the
department could set aside sufficient funds to meet the continuing'
program which was instituted after budget adoption; that it can be
$elf sustaining from the standpoint of coaching salaries; that if the
~aintenance cost is to be imposed on,the participants it could be
accomplished through a fee increase.
After further discussion Councilman Considine stated for the record
that he has worked with the Recreation Commission and its Dire~tor;
that he has a very high regard for their capability and what they are
doing; that he is not trying to cast any reflections on their record
Or on their capabilities; they are outstanding and they have done a
tremendous job, however, if there is a chance to make something pay
its own way he always likes to see this road pursued first.
It was then MOVED by Councilman'Considine, seconded by Councilman
Rage and carried unanimously that the novice swimming program be
continued through the school year and that the formula and fee be
determined and arranged by the City Manager at his discretion to the,
best value of all.
The City Manager advised that he will pursue the matter and return to
the City Council at a later date for a transfer of funds and/or an
appropriation.
It was MOVED by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman
Butterworth and carried unanimously that the plans and specifications
for the construction of sidewalks on streets as listed in the report
dated September 15, 1966 as submitted, be APPROVED and that the City
