Motion seconded by Councilman Balser and carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Balser, Considine, Forman, Turner, Reibold None None This matter was continued from the regular meeting of November 16, 1965, in order for the Counsel for the subdivider to confer with the City Attorney in an effort to resolve the differences encountered at said meeting. The tentative map was approved on November 2, 1965 but the final map submitted differed from the approved tentative map inasmuch as it indicated the creation of seven lots, not as a condominium, but as a planned residential development. The tentative map reflected the creation of one lot for condominium purposes. The City Attorney summarized the contents of his communication to the City Council dated December 7, 1965 and stated in part that the separate lots proposed to be created do not meet the City's re- quirements particularly as to area, width, depth or direct access to a dedicated street; that the Planning Commission and staff have expressed concern about the division of title to the property proposed in said Tract and about the precedent that might be set if the final map of the Tract were approved as submitted. He continued that he knew of nothing further the subdivider could do to lessen or remove the City's concern and still accomplish the subdivider's desires. Allyn Barber, attorney for the subdivider Arthur Bauman, stated in part that he directed his attention to that which disturbed the City Council most, namely the orderly development of the City and also that the approval of the final map as submitted might create a precedent which would not be to the benefit of the City. He referred to Civil Code sections under which the owners of adjacent property could agree to restrict the uses in order to provide for certain uses of their property. He advised that his client is willing to enter into a separate agreement with the City to provide that the development would go forward as the developer has indicated on the submitted map; that a copy of the proposed agreement has been given to the City Attorney; that therein the City is given control so that no changes can be made in the future without the consent of the City Council and in addition have prepared restrictions which could at some future time be amended by a sufficient number of property owners of the subject development. He expressed the willingness of the developer to file an amended tentative map similar to the final map; that the regulations of a zone variance governing the improvement of the property have been complied with; that everything has been done and asked for approval of the final map. The City Attorney stated in part that the problem would not present itself until some time in the future, perhaps ten to twenty years 3. 12-7-65 16:6691 from now; that the developer must at this time construct and maintain the planned development in accordance with the plans which have been approved by the City Council under the variance. That it appears the subdivider had at some time arrived at a decision to convey title under some means other than to retain the entire land under common ownership. He concluded by stating in part that he had not been concerned until reviewing the final map which designated 'units' which has a different connotation then 'lots'; that there is a basic difference between a condominium as contemplated by the tentative map, and a planned development as proposed under the final map, and it is this difference which gives the City concern; that everything other than the manner of title disposition meets every criteria; that it is only the method of conveyance which is an issue. I Following discussion it was the consensus of the City Council that the final map is not in substantial compliance with the tentative map and that the separate lots do not meet the City's requirements which is the purpose of the Subdivision Ordinance, whereupon Councilman Balser MOVED that the final map be disapproved for the reasons in accordance with the recommendation of the Planning Commission. Motion seconded by Councilman Turner and carried on roll call as follows: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Balser, Considine, Forman, Turner, Reibold None None HEARINGS SCHEDULED (a) MOTION by Councilman Forman, seconded by Councilman Balser and carried unanimously a public hearing was scheduled for Tuesday December 21, 1965 at 8 P.M. on the reclassification of certain property between Duarte Road and Camino Real, west of Baldwin Avenue to Golden West Avenue, from R-2 and R-3 to C-2 and D zones, and on the recommendations of the Planning Commission as contained in its Resolution No. 572.

AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Balser, Considine, Forman, TuYne~, Reibold None None At the City Council meeting of November 16, 1965 the staff was instructed to make a survey of the number of children walking on Santa Anita Avenue between Sierra Madre Boulevard and El Vista Circle. This was following Council action to delete from the overall sidewalk program the area from El Vista Circle to Andrea Lane on Santa Anita Avenue. The City Manager advised that the study indicated 71 school children walking south on the west side of Santa Anita Avenue south of Sierra Madre Boulevard; explored in detail the survey, and based upon the results therefrom recommended that sidewalks as proposed be installed on the west side of Santa Anita Avenue from Sierra Madre Boulevard to El Vista Circle and further recommended that the City Council reconsider its prior action in the deletion of the sidewalks from El Vista Circle to Andrea Lane. The following persons expressed opposition to the sidewalks: Charles Sherman, 1741 N. Santa Anita Avenue, stated in part that sidewalks in said area are not necessary; that they would encourage children from other areas to use them for skateboarding; that the property owners had made a count on the same day the City made its survey and the figures do not correspond. s. 12-7-65 } iJbi-1 TRACT NO. 27903 (final acceptay::)q ~ i STREET LIGHTING (Santa Anita Ave.) P: ~ f L :; . , ',f.O'1) c'\ '-~ ~ 16:6693 Edward Schurte, 1763 N. Santa Anita Avenue, stated in part that during his 14 years residency he has never seen the number of children walking in the area as set forth in the City survey; .that he has never made a complaint before and stated for the record that the proposed program is ridiculous; that he too felt it would encourage skateboard riding which has taken place late at night and is dangerous. Earle Teague, 1808 N. Santa Anita Avenue, protested the sidewalk construction. I Eli Mischuck, 1701 El Vista Circle, stated in part that he has never observed more than two children walking in front of his home; that their number does not justify the expense. He referred to the additional cost to property owners in replacement of landscaping; that should the sidewalks be installed he will move from the area. Mrs. Robert Imus, 1826 N. Santa Anita Avenue, stated in part that most of the children in the area are transported to school by their parents and referred to a landscaping problem as well as a skateboard problem. Discussion ensued with Mayor Reibold and Councilman Turner of the opinion they would not vote for sidewalks in a given area where residents did not want them. Councilman Balser referred to a survey which reflected 89 percent of the residents in favor of sidewalks; that he was more concerned with the safety of the children and MOVED that sidewalks be constructed on Santa Anita Avenue from Sierra Madre to El Vista Circle and that the area north to Andrea Lane be studied further as in his opinion the staff figures are factual. THIS MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. Councilman Turner then MOVED that the matter be TABLED and that the installation of sidewalks on Santa Anita Avenue between Sierra Madre Boulevard and El Vista Circle be deleted from the program and that further discussion be held if and when the residents in the subject area desire. (The area from El Vista Circle to Andrea Lane having been previously deleted from the program).

It was MOVED by Councilman Balser, seconded by Councilman Turner and carried that the petition be FILED. It was then noted by the City Manager that the subject area is included in the first phase of the construction for which the contract was let at this meeting. The traffic situation was explored at length and it was agreed that it is more dense than that north of Sierra Madre on Santa Anita Avenue. The differential in the count made by the staff and the one made by the residents was a matter of concern also, as was Mayor Reiboldts expression that the Parent Teacher's Organization had been silent about the program. I It was also his suggestion that perhaps a record of the number of accidents to persons walking in the streets would be helpful. At one point in the . discussion a MOTION was made by Councilman Turner, seconded by Mayor Reibold that a study be made to determine just what the traffic situation is at the subject area to ascertain whether or not to override the petition. It was agreed that a commentary from the PTA would be welcome. AYES: NOES: Councilmen Turner, Reibold Councilmen Balser, Considine, Forman ABSENT: None Discussion continued with Councilman Considine stating in part that the City Council will have to take a firmer stand; that it could be subject to criticism should an accident occur to a child walking to and from school; that it appears to him that esthetic values are being placed before the safety of a child. Some discussion held on the change which would take place in the property owner's landscaping. Councilman Balser stated in part that it would be his suggestion that the work proceed as proposed on Holly Avenue and Santa Anita Avenue; that it would help sell the program and then make a study of how many children use the sidewalks in safety; that this would be a more positive approach. At this point Arthur Johnson, 327 E. Colorado Boulevard, stated in part that the residents on Colorado Boulevard between Second Avenue and Fifth Avenues have gone on record as desiring sidewalks; that there are 30 children attending the Bonita Park School and that they cannot participate in the after school City recreation program at the same school because of the traffic hazard. In conclusion it was the consensus that a study would be helpful, but that the program should proceed with the construction to begin at Holly Avenue School and that residents could then observe the merit of the program as it develops. The motion remains which was previously made by Councilman Balser - the petition to be filed for the present. Staff will prepare the study as suggested. On MOTION by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman Forman and carried unanimously, the request of Herbert M. Piken for permission to erect light standards at a 15 foot height limit instead of the originally I approved 10 foot limit was APPROVED. (Paragraph 7 of Resolution No. 3810). The request for permission to install an ornamental redwood fence sur- rounding the air conditioning condenser to a height of 5 feet was DISAPPROVED. The redwood fencing is not permitted as a screening device in Fire Zone No.1. The screening of the air conditioning condenser is to be composed of non-combustible materials. The petition requesting sidewalks on Colorado Boulevard between Second and Fifth Avenues was received on MOTION by Councilman Forman, seconded by Councilman Turner and carried unanimously. The matter was deferred as the City Manager pointed out that there is a question of curb and gutter installation for which the property owners would be responsible and that some type of warrant and/or criteria should be set up; that there could be further requests of this nature. Mrs. Arthur Reiter, 1842 Wilson Avenue, stated in part that she is in favor of sidewalks and enumerated other streets which she considered necessary for such installation. 8. 12-7-65 ORDJ:NANCE NO. 1313 Adopted I RESOLUTION NO. 3835 Adopted ~ 113/ I 16:6696 The City Attorney presented for the second time, explained the content and read the title of Ordinance No. 1313, entitled: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING DIVISION 2 OF PART 6 OF CHAPTER 2 OF ARTICLE IX OF THE ARCADIA MUNICIPAL CODE (C-l LIMTTED COMMERCIAL ZONE)."
