Rev, John Toews, Arcadia Christian Church Mayor Conrad T. Reibold Roger Turner, retiring from the Planning Commission, was presented with a plaque honoring him for his years of service on the Recreation and Planning Commissions, PRESENT: ABSENT: Councilmen Considine, Forman, Turner, Reibold Councilman Balser On MOTION by Councilman Forman, seconded Ly Councilman Turner and carried unanimously the Minutes of the Regular meeting of September 7, 1965 were APPROVED as submitted in writing. MOTION by Councilman Forman, seconded by Councilman Turner and carried unanimously that the request of the applicant be APPROVED and that the public hearing on the zone variance application to permit the construction of a 21 unit apartment development at 343 W. Colorado Boulevard be continued until the regular meeting of October 5, 1965. MOTION by Councilman Forman, seconded by Councilman Turner and carried unanimously that the request of the applicant be APPROVED and that the public hearing on the zone change application on property located on the northwest corner of Santa Anita Avenue and Las Tunas Drive be continued until the regular meeti~of October 19, 1965. Mayor Reibold declared the hearing open on the application of Mr, and Mrs, Darrell Clingman for a business permit to allow the operation of a Montessori School for children from 2~ to 5 years of age at 1406 S, Santa Anita Avenue, Petitions and communications in protest and communications in favor were made part of the record. The applicant, Mrs. Clingman, in answer to a question propounded by Councilman "Turner, stated that the enterprise will be a private one; that they will be under no obligation to another school; that the teacher is affiliated with the Montessori International Association by membership and that the special equipment could be purchased by anyone. In answer to a request by John Searfoss, 27 E, Pamela Road, the City Attorney read provisions from the Municipal Code concerning conditional use permits which are part of the zoning ordinance dealing primarily with the appropriate locations for specific uses, and from the provisions concerning business permit applications which are peculiar to the applicants who will operate and the manner in which they propose to conduct a business. Mr. Searfoss continued in part that he was spokesman for the property owners residing within a 300' radius of the subject property; that in 1. 9-21-65 16:6639 his op1n10n there were some questionable procedural methods; that notification of the hearing before the Planning Commission was to go to all 26 property owners, including the School District which is neutral in the matter; that to date there is a record of 83 percent in protest or 20 out of a possible 24; that two owners did noc receive any notice. Reference was made by Mr, Searfoss to the possibility of bankruptcy in the subject instance and to the filing of bankruptcy by other schools of the same nature; that the applicants are not experienced in the operation of a school. He stated further in part that to grant the business permit would only downgrade the area and by visiting a similar school which is successful in Pasadena he dis- covered that it is situated in a zone R-3 with a predominance of apartments. He referred to a press article in which the applicant stated that if the school were successful she would expand next year. I Mr, Searfoss asked what would prevent the City Council from granting a business permit on adjacent properties should an application be made therefor, and referred specifically to the owner of 1412 S. Santa Anita Avenue who is in favor of the school; that it is possible an extended option could be placed on this property. He referred to alterations which would be necessary as indicated by the Fire Department, which conversions would make the property undesirable if it ever reverted to residential use. He then stated in part that it was the understanding of the protesting property owners that an appeal would be scheduled to be heard before the City Council; that instead the proprietors of the proposed business had checkreined the City Council; that there are better locations for the school which should have been recommended by the Planning Department, He mentioned East Duarte Road between Second and Fifth Avenues in particular, which area is currently being studied for rezoning. He stated that a formal appeal had not been filed due to the time element and the money necessary in such procedure; that an appeal is being made at this time and that they had not been informed of the procedure. He urged denial of ,the application. Mrs, Ray Fortner, 1331 S. Santa Anita Avenue, asked for denial of the business permit as did Basil Johnson, 20 E. Pamela Road, who stated in part that it was ,commercial intrusion in a residential area; that others could follow which would result in property devaluation. Mrs. Fredda Whippo, 1411 S, Santa Anita Avenue, also asked for denial of the permit. No one else desiring to be heard, it was MOVED by Councilman Turner, seconded by Councilman Forman and carried unanimously that the hearing be CLOSED. It was noted by Councilman Considine that the hearing before the City Council is on the application for a business permit, not on zoning;' that there had been no formal appeal filed; that the arguments presented should have been related to the moral standards of the applicants or to the conduct of the proposed business and whether or not it would be harmful to the community; that as far as bankruptcy is concerned any business either s~cceeds or fails; that should the applicant fail the property owners would be protected, as another person could not continue the school; that the subject property returns to Zone R-l in five years and that he was at a loss to see how a conditional use permit may be granted and at the same time a denial of a business permit without just cause.

It was stated that good and usable lots could be developed of the subject properties under lot split procedures, Verne Mishler, 263 W, Las Flores Avenue, one of the three property owners not desiring to sell a portion of their property in order to become part of the new tract stated in part that in line with a communication, which is a matter of record, he felt that the amount of the proposed trust ($5,204.39) is exorbitant; that there will be a drastic change in living and environment; the view will be marred; an increase in taxes; the inconvenience of dirt, dust and noise of the workmen; and referred to the fact that they use the north portion of their land for the keeping of saddle horses. He then asked for a 25 percent reduction in said amount.

The City Attorney referred to a policy resolution which was adopted some time ago; the purpose of same was for the orderly development of properties and not to allow property owners to remain out of a subdivision and then when expenses were paid come in, thereby taking advantage of improvements paid for by someone else, He pointed out that the placing of a trust is not an assessment against land of anyone else; that it merely gives them a right at the time of their own choosing to make use of the facilities installed by someone else.
