The City Manager paraphrased his report dated October 28, 1966 (on,
file in the office of the City Clerk) concerning the request of
Mrs. Emma D. Menninger for permission to relocate and rebuild a
3000 sq. ft. greenhouse at 730 N. Old Ranch Road. He explained that
the regulation permits only 1500 sq. ft; that the Division of Highways
will acquire a portion of her property for the Foothill Freeway,
construction"hence the necessity of relocating on a portion of the

same lot both the present home and greenhouse structures; that the
latter will not be used for commercial purposes, only for recreational
and personal enjoyment.
It was MOVED by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman Hage and
carried unanimously that permission be granted Mrs. Menninger to move
a portion of and rebuild the greenhouse at 730 N. Old Ranch Road not
to exceed 3000 sq. ft.
The City Manager advised that Martin Yurich, lessee and operator of
the Westerner Restaurant at 181 Colorado Place has requested a waiver
from the provision requiring sidewalks in conjunction with new
commercial construction exceeding $1500; that Mr. Yurich is willing
to put in curbs and gutters, but has asked permission to construct a
5' sidewalk on Colorado Place'and no sidewalks on San Juan Drive (the
property is on the corner of said streets). He recommended that the
City adhere to its requirements for sidewalks on San Juan Drive and
that the sidewalks on Colorado Place need not be wider than 5' with
the locations to be worked out with the Department of Public Works in
order to preserve as much of the existing landscaping as possible.
I
It was MOVED by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Arth
that the recommendation of the City Manager be approved.
Martin Yurich addressed the City Council stating in part that the
sidewalk installation on San Juan Drive would necessitate the removal
of some 13 year old 8' trees which presently serve as a screening
device for the parking lot; that there is little foot traffic and no
houses fronting on San Juan Drive. He also stated he would like to
preserve the lawn area in the City parkway on Colorado Place; that he
would just as soon construct a 10' sidewalk all around if the
aforesaid landscaping would have to be removed.
It was the consensus of the City Council that the sidewalk program is
in the best interests of the health and welfare of the citizens
however, it was Councilman Hage's observation that if the sidewalks
were to be installed at the expense of forfeiting the landscaping and
were not needed he could see no purpose in the installation.
Whereupon Mayor Forman called for the roll call vote on the MOTION to
accept the recommendation of the City Manager and staff that the
sidewalks be required pursuant to Arcadia Municipal Code regulation.

It was the feeling of Councilman Considine, concurred in by the City I
Council, that the City staff work with Mr. Yurich in shielding the
parking area. It was noted that a 10' sidewalk could be constructed
if he so desired.
The request of the Library Board of Trustees for authorization to
transfer from the Library Surplus Fund the total sum of $3,244 for
purposes outlined below was APPROVED on MOTION by Councilman
Considine, seconded by Councilman Hage and carried on roll call vote
as follows:

DEMOLITION The City Manager presented his recommendation on the bids received
City-owned for the demolition of city'o~ed buildings in the Towne Center (122 N.
buildings Santa Anita, various sheds and two gasoline storage tanks at the old
_ City Yards at 125 E. Santa Clara and the City Garage at 210. N. Second
17; 19A1AJ~~~ Avenue). Bids were taken on two proposals, 1) complete removal of
II . .--~~~- the gasoline storage tanks, 2) pumping the storage tanks with rotary
/J.f"I t_~;..... mud).
Discussion ensued on the advisability of demolishing the Peerless
Laundry building at 122 N. Santa Anita Avenue and the majority of the
City Council felt that it would be in the best interest of the City
to clear all of the subject properties; that the said building could
be a detriment in the overall development; that it contributes to the
depressed appearance of the entire area.
I
However, Councilman Considine felt that the building represents a
sizeable investment; that he could see no reason to destroy it unless
and until a definite replacement were obtained; that there has been
interest in a leasing arrangement but none that the City was willing
to accept; that the City Council had previously indicated its
willingness to remove the building if and when a decision to so do
would have to be made; that it would not be a cost to a potential
buyer.
Mayor Forman then called for the roll call vote.
It was MOVED by Councilman Arth, seconded by Councilman Hage and
carried on roll call vote as follows that the recommendation of the
City Manager be accepted and that the contract be awarded to the low
bidder, H. E. Simpson on the basis of proposal I in the amount of
$4,670.00; that all other bids be rejected; that any irregularities
or informalities in the bids or bidding process be waived and that
the May~ and City Clerk be and they are hereby authorized to execute
a contract therefor in form approved by the City Attorney.

The City Manager advised of the request of John W. Biedebach for a
revision of the ordinance governing fencing of swimming pools. He
explained that the objection was the requirement for installation of
bars at both top and bottom of a chain link fence. Reports from the
City Manager, City Attorney and Director of Public Works were made
part of the record. The City Manager recommended code amendments
which would eliminate the specific bar requirements, fence completion
before pool guniting and application of the completion bond to all
aspects of the construction.
I
Councilman Considine stated in part that in his opinion to lessen the
requirements would downgrade the safety regulations and standards;
that the regulations should be adhered to. Whereupon he MOVED that
the standards not be reduced and also that the fence be positioned
with pole construction prior to re-enforcing steel and/or guniting
the pool. Motion seconded by Councilman Hage.
Mr. Biedebach, 235 W. Foothill Boulevard, spoke at length concerning
his request for permission to construct a chain link fence with a bar
across the top only. He outlined the properties surrounding the pool
area and stated in part that he was as concerned as everyone about
the safety of children but that he felt to require bars at both top
and bottom of a fence was unnecessary; that at the present time-there
are no children on either side. He further stated that he received
the letter from the Building and Safety Department setting forth the
Code requirement after he had contracted for the construction of the
pool which Company indicated it was not aware of the regulation
although they had been in the subject business for many years. He
asked for consideration of a revision to the governing ordinance.
Upon request of Councilman Butterworth the City Attorney explained
that the ordinance makes no provision to vary the requirements; that
the problem in the subject instance is that the fencing does not meet
the Code as to method of construction. He continued that although
there is no provision to waive regulations the City Council has the
authority to amend the Code if that be its decision.
Councilman Considine stated in part that the Code is specific; that I
at the time the pool was built the regulation was in existence; that
in his opinion it should be sustained; that the fact that there are
no children on either side of the subject property does not preclude
the possibility that families with children could reside there.
Councilman Butterworth stated in part that in line with the ruling of
the City Attorney to the effect that the Code makes no provision for
waiving the requirements, the City Council is in the position where
it must follow its own laws and has no choice in the matter. He
suggested that perhaps Mr. Biedebach could consult with the City
staff to see if some solution could be found that would be less
burdensome than fencing the entire area; that he would not be in

favor of making a snap judgment in a matter of such importance.
Councilman Arth stated that he might be in favor of amending the Code
to some extent but that in line with the ruling of the City Attorney
there was no provision for waiving the requirement.
Councilman Hage stated in part that he felt the requirement protects
the safety of the public and he would not be in favor of changing it
at this time.
Councilman Considine"with the consent of his second, withdrew his
motion as stated above and MOVED that the request for an amendment of

The request of Bill Bond (World Industries, Inc., and Lido Sales) for
permission to continue use of property at 333 N. Santa Anita Avenue
as a swimming pool supply business. It was noted by the City Manager
that Mr. Bond was granted a two-year waiver on November 17, 1964
which will expire in a few days; that the property was originally in
a so-called moratorium area pending completion of the improvement of
Santa Anita Avenue. The moratorium has now ended and new M-l
standards have been applied. He explained conditions which should be
considered if the use is to be continued.

The City Manager reported on the following bids received for the

engine for the Department of Public Works (1953 Hough Loader to be

Harry Biehler, representing the International Harvester Company,
addressed the City Council at length, stating in substance that his
Company had submitted a bid for an H-50C which met the specifications
in the amount of $14,584. He outlined the areas in which the
specLfications were exceeded and asked for consideration of his bid.
The City Manager advised that the specifications were drawn to produce I
eqUipment which could meet situations in t he City with the minimum in
operating cost over the life of the machine; that three of the bids
received met the requirements of the specifications.
It was the consensus of the City Council that the remarks of
Mr. Biehler were enlightening but it must rely on the recommendation
of the City staff which is versed in such matters, whereupon it was
MOVED by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Hage and
carried on roll call vote as follows that the contract be awarded to

Councilman Arth commented that the staff 'should make certain that the
specifications are based on what equipment will do rather than on
individual items and not accommodate one or two suppliers. This
observation waS concurred in by Councilman Considine who also stated
in part that this is the first time in his review of bids that the
majority of the bidders did not meet the requirements.
The City Manager advised that at the time the various Citizen's
Committees were organized funds were not provided for secretarial
services and recommended that same be now established. It was MOVED

It was MOVED by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman
Considine and carried unanimously that the matter of taking support
action on County Propositions A, B, C, be tabled. It was the
consensus that the City has not been involved sufficiently in the
study which has led to the propositions becoming an election issue
to justify official support.

FEASIBILITY

The City Manager advised that discussions with the Land Committee
indicated a community desire for a department store and/or a junior I
department store in the downtown center if possible; that it has been
recommended that a feasibility study be made; that along this line he
has discussed with Larry Smith and Company, consultants, the cost of
study and has reviewed the area in question and nearby commercia~
centers. The proposal was submitted in the amount of $7000 for time
and materials necessary.

During the ensuing discussion reference was made to the possibility
of the Arcadia Towers building (Heiss) becoming a reality in a short
time; that in the original plans a junior department store had been
proposed as a tenant in which event the desires of the Land Committee
would partially be met; that it would not preclude a full size
department or specialty store. It waS the consensus of the City
Council that a study of this nature is important and has a lot to
offer, but that it should first be determined if there is a possibili-
ty such a store would be established in the 'Heiss' building.
Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Butterwort~, seconded by
Councilman Arth and carried on roll call vote as follows that the
matter be continued for two weeks.

approached with emphasis on architecture rather than on high rise

The City Attorney advised that the City had been served with a
Summons on an Order to Show Cause by the legal representatives of the
Bowling Square and Arcadia Bowling Lanes and requested authority to
employ special counsel; that the basic principle of the complaint is
that they are licensed to sell liquor by the State and that therefore
the City should not be allowed to interfere with that right.

It was observed by Councilman Arth that matters which have been
before the City Council and require additional study should not be
overlooked in the pressure of meeting current needs, (swimming
,
pool regulations, keeping of birds, animals, etc.).
Councilman Considine asked that the City Manager place on the agenda
for the next regular City Council meeting the recommendation of the
Citizen's Land Committee and stated in part that the Committee has a
report on a general city policy relating to land, its purchase, use
and disposal; also a request has been made that the Citizen's Land
Committee be represented on the City Council Land Committee; that he
would suggest that the philosophy of land use be considered, modified
or rejected by the City Council before more time is expended in this
regard. (Will appear on agenda for November 15, 1966)
May~ Forman referred to the need by the Arcadia Tournament of Roses
Association for further financial support.
At 10:30 P.M. Mayor Forman adjourned the meeting.
