specified conditions for the remodeling of an existing service
station on property located at 348 E. Foothill Boulevard (See
Resolution No. 605 adopted December 13, 1966). The waiving of

inappropriate and not applicable to the proper development of the
subject site.

Butterworth and carried unanimously that provisions of Section
9275.4.11 of the Arcadia Municipal Code, Paragraph 1, Paragraph 2
with respect to Fifth Avenue and Paragraph 3 with respect to the
southerly property line, and Section 9275.4.16 thereof to the extent
necessary to allow oil dispensers, windshield cleaning accessories
and cash boxes on pump islands, be WAIVED for the reason that the

The City Council received information on the Collier-Unruh Gas Tax
Revision program as set forth in the League report dated December 1,
1966 and the subsequent report of the Director of Public Works to
the City Manager dated December 15, 1966.
The City Council ackhowledged receipt' of the communication from
Edward A. Heiss, President of the Arcadia Tower Corporation
(December 19, 1966) concerning the escrow established in the U. S.
National Bank for the purpose of concluding fee and title to city-
owned property (old library site at Wheeler and First Avenue).
Incorporated therein was a request that the former lease-option be
reinstated for a period of six months and that a sum of $2000 be
tendered to the City to represent a pro-rata lease payment for said
period.
Mr. Heiss introduced Wade Ballard, new partner in the operation.
Mr. Ballard explained efforts which have been made to negotiate
financing and stated in part that they now feel that the ,City's
interest would best be served if a new arrangement were entered into
under the original lease-option method wherein the City would retain
complete control of the development of the property; that it is now
proposed to seek private financing and that additional time is needed.
The City Council considered the time element, the amount of payment
to be required at this time and the feasibility of making the land
available to other developers inasmuch as Mr. Heiss has thus far been
unable to secure financing. A figure of $20,000 was discussed but
Mr. Ballard stated that he could not be positive of raising that
amount. Whereupon it was suggested that the sum of $10,000 be
tendered the City for the requested six months extension. A new
agreement would then be formulated. Mr. Ballard stated that he
understood Council action; that the present contract is at an end,
that the land will be made available to others and that if he and
Mr. Heiss return with another proposition it will be considered on
its face value. They will return to the City Council on January 17,
1967 to announce their intention.
The request of Roger Hedrick pertaining to possible annexation of
territory surrounded by Huntington Drive, Duarte Road, Michillinda
Avenue and Rosemead Boulevard was received and ordered FILED on
MOTION by Councilman Arth, seconded by Councilman Hage and carried
unanimously.
It was noted that the Planning Commission is presently preparing
reports on the unincorporated areas immediately to the north of Duarte
Road.
The City Manager noted that the Pacific Telephone Company has acquired
property for a new building at the northeast corner of Santa Clara
Avenue and Rolyn Place.
George .~erron, dba Paris Tour Eiffel, 156 W. Las Tunas Drive, asked
to be properly informed concerning signs which would be acceptable
and would meet the City's requirements. He explained that he had
two signs advertising his bakery; that one had been removed because
