Mayor Pro Tempore Phillips stated in part that he had read the Council minutes of July 17, 1962 on the matter but had not listened to the tape recording; that he had personally viewed the subject property and at the pre-Council meeting had heard arguments of the staff and the Planning Commission. He continued, stating in part that at the time Lee Avenue was extended there was and probably still is a desire to have Greenfield Avenue turn to the east and extend out to Lee Avenue or at least that the cuI de sac of Greenfield Avenue be opened to Longden or to the north but that he did not believe it was in the best interests of the City to attempt to subdivide presently constituted property lines. Councilman Reibold MOVED that the Council overrule the recommendation of the Planning Commission for denial of the lot split request of the Park Investment Co.,Inc. on property at 2215 Lee Avenue and that said request be granted upon the following conditions: 1. File a final map. 2. Provide a sewer lateral to the newly created lot. 3. Pay a recreation fee of $25.00. 4. Provide water services to comply with the Uniform Plumbing Code. 5. Remove all buildings from the lots. 1 To Councilman Turner's comment that no reference was made to the five foot dedication for planting on the old subdivision, the City Attorney stated in substance that it would be his recommendation that inasmuch as this is only a tentative approval the dedication not be removed until final approval is given. Councilman Turner then seconded the motion. Councilman Balser stated in part that he recalled the five foot dedication which was. dedicated with the intent that the street would some day go through to the west to connect with Greenfield Avenue; that the Planning Commission is very anxious to keep from landlocking the area to the west and that he felt the Council should give this 2. 8-7-62 HEARING (Stevens) 1'"'80 1 15:5741 consideration. There being no further discussion, the following roll call was taken on the motion made and seconded: AYESf Councilmen Reibold, Turner, Phillips NOES: Councilman Balser ABSENT: Mayor Butterworth Planning Commission Resolution No. 453 recommending approval of zone variance request to allow the continued operation of a children's day nursery at 530 West Las Tunas Drive. The City Clerk voicing their read the following names of persons who had written opposition to or in favor of the requested variance: IN FAVOR OPPOSED Mrs. Donald J. Heath 541 Workman Ave. Mr. & Mrs. Marcus Halwax 524 Las Tunas Drive Mr. and Mrs. Ralph D. Stogsdill 547 Workman Ave. Mr. & Mrs. Earl E. Bengston 521 Workman Ave. Mrs. O. C. Traut, Jr. 1531 S. First Avenue Mr. lie Mrs. N. H. Humphrey 518 W. Las Tunas Drive Department of Social Welfare Mr. lie Mrs. Robert McPherson 529 Workman Ave. Mr. & Mrs. Ernest' Anthony 510 W~ Las Tunas Dr. (Letters on file in office of the City Clerk). I The Planning Director displayed a map of the subject property and advised that the Planning Commission had recommended approval of the requested zone variance subject to the following conditions: 1. That the period of the variance be limited to a period of five years from and after the date of approval of such variance by the City Council. 2. That prior to September 1, 1962, the existing block wall on the east side of subject property be increased to the uniform height of six feet. Mayor Pro Tempore Phillips declared the hearing open and stated that the Council would hear first from those persons opposed to the proposed zone variance continuation. Mr. Marcus Halwax, 524 Las Tunas Drive, addressed the Council and stated in part that his communication of August 3, 1962 set forth in detail his reasons for being opposed to the requested variance. In response to Councilman Reibold's request for clarification of item 5 in his letter, that the nursery was run by others approximately three years ago, Mr. Halwax replied that it was operated by the applicant's daughter for about nine months. No one else desiring to speak in opposition, Mayor Pro Tempore Phillips inquired if anyone desired to speak in favor of the requested zone variance continuation and the following persons addressed the Council, stating in part: Mr. A. E. Erickson, 525 Las Tunas Drive: That the school is so quietly maintained that he was consciously unaware of its physical existance. Mrs. Dorothy Stevens, the applicant: personally view the subject premises. That she had invited the Council to She then reviewed the history of 3. 8-7-62 15:5742 the school from. the time she had started it in 1948 because her husband was in ill health and she needed additional income to support her family, to its present status of being, in her opinion, an asset to the City. She commented that the Department of Social Welfare favors nursery schools in residential areas in preference to commercial because of the easier transition for children away from their homes and reminded the Council that the Longley 'Way School, only four blocks east, is in a purely residential area while her property serves as a buffer between commercial and residential; also that commercial structures had been adjacent to and across the street from her premises prior to her purchase of the property. She also stated that during the 14 years of her residence there had never been a complaint made regarding the school and noted that the neighbor who led the opposition to her school has lived in the area only four years and has fivl children. Mrs. Stevens then made the following requests of the Council should it determine to grant the requested zone variance extension: that the variance be extended for ten years rather than five; that the recommended extension of the existing block wall be modified to have it extend only up to the six foot fence of the Halwax property; and a show of hands from the audience of those in favor of and those opposed to the requested variance extension. In answer to Mayor Pro Tempore Phillip's question regarding the statement made by Mr. Halwax that she had not operated the school for about six to nine months three years ago, Mrs. Stevens replied that she had remarried and moved to Pasadena and that her daughter had attempted to operate the school during such time but had not wished to continue and that she had then again taken over its operation. No one else desiring to be heard Councilman Reibold MOVED that the hearing be closed. Councilman Balser seconded the motion which was carried unanimously. Discussion ensued and the following comments were made in part by the Council and staff: Councilman Reibold: That he had viewed the premises and found them very satisfactory; that he agreed with her request for a modification of the block wall requirement. Planning Director: That he agreed,with the requested modification of the wall requirement and thought that this point had not been thoroughly explained to the Planning Commission. Councilman Turner: Mrs. Stevens should such a facility and wall. City Manager: That the Council consider his suggestion that the apPlicantl. erect a fence at the eastern portion of the front yard to separate the two properties, and Councilman Reibold interpolated that there is presentl a hedge there and that the school is located in the rear of the property, but that he would have no objection to this additional condition: That he also had visited the subject premises and be complimented on her school; that there is need also that he too agreed as to the modification of that fur the Mayor Pro Tempore Phillips, in compliance with Mrs. Stevens' request, asked for a show of hands from the audience and from a visual count there appeared to be approximately 30 persons in favor of and approximately 5 persons opposed to the requested variance. An inquiry was then made as to complaints regarding the school and the City Manager replied that to his knowledge none has ever been received. 4. 8-7-62 J HEARING (Perkinson) P:LS I 15:5743 Mayor Pro Tempore Phillips: That the property is a buffer for the c~rcial development westerly. That with regard to the applicant's request for a ten year variance rather than five, as recommended by the Planning Commission, he felt it not unreasonable to come back every five years thus giving the Council a chance to survey the situation. Councilman Balser: That he has always been opposed to nursery schools in R-l zones as he did not think they were compatible with residential areas but that he was not opposed to nursery schools per se. There being no further discussion, Councilman Reibold MOVED that the Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission as contained in its Resolution No. 453 recommending approval of the zone variance request of Mrs. Dorothy Stevens to allow the continued operation for a period of five years of a children's day nursery at 530 West Las Tunas Drive subject to the change that the six foot concrete block wall not be required to go beyond the point of the redwood fence of the Halwax property and that an additional condition be made that a fence of chain link or grape stake, or the like, of approximately three feet in height, be constructed between her property in the front and that of the adjacent neighbor to the east, starting at the end of the parkway. Councilman Turner seconded the motion which was carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Reibold, Turner, Phillips Councilman Balser Mayor Butterworth Appeal from Planning Commission recommendation for denial of lot split request on property at 1301 South Mayflower Avenue (Sec. 9122.5.1 A.M.C.) The Planning Director displayed a map of the subject property and explained that the proposed lot split would result in two lots each approximately 51 feet wide. That the property is in an area of wider lots and the widths proposed do not conform to the requirements of the sub- division ordinance; that although there are substandard and non-conforming lots within the City, it was felt by the Planning Commission that new sub- standard lots should not be created. That it has been the policy of the Planning Commission in the past to base its decision on the general aspect of the area and that in this case the majority of the lots adjacent to the subject property are wide. Mayor Pro Tempore Phillips declared the hearing open and inquired if anyone desired to address the Council with regard to the subject matter. Mr. Alfred H. Allen, 1045 West Huntington Drive, addressed the Council, stating that he had the subject property under option and was appearing on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Allen then summarized the background of the area development and stated in part that the subject property has been on the market for several years at a reasonable price but that in his opinion it has not sold because the area did not warrant the construction of a residence commensurate with the size of the lot. That he contemplated constructing homes on the proposed two lots priced at approximately $27,950 each, which he felt would be more in keeping with the neighborhood. That no one in the neighborhood has opposed his plan and that in his opinion it would enhance the area. No one else desiring to be heard Councilman Balser MOVED that the hearing be closed. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion which was carried unanimously. Councilman Balser stated in part that the Planning Commission has given considerable thought and consideration to the subject area; that there are many lots in the area that are large and that it felt eventually this lot will be developed; that to approve this lot split would tend to make the 5. 8-7-62 HEARING (Udlenik) 1"-924 15:5744 area even more spotty. Councilman Balser then ~ that the Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission and that the lot split request of Mrs. Edna Perkinson on her property at 1301 South Mayflower Avenue be denied. Councilman Phillips seconded the motion which was carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: Councilmen Balser, Reibo1d, Turner, Phillips NOES: None ABSENT: Mayor Butterworth This being the first hearing before the Council under Ordinance Nos. 1'_. 1173 and 1174 establishing policy and procedure for controlling animal and bird nuisance, adopted by the Council in April, 1962, the City Attorney explained in detail the events leading to their preparation and adoption, and summarized their content, and the procedure to be followed by complainants, staff and the Council. He added that in the subject matter the necessary procedure has been followed, a complaint having been filed, staff findings and recommendations made, proper notices mailed (the City Clerk having advised that she has on file evidence of service of said notices) and the Council having determined it to be in the public interest to schedule the subject hearing. The City Manager then summarized his findings, conclusions and. recommen- dations in the matter, to wit: that upon receipt of a written complaint signed by Mr. and Mrs. John H. Colvin, 503 W. Wistaria Avenue, Mr. and Mrs. John S. Eberly, 508 W. Lemon Avenue and E1f1eda Fisher, 485 West Wistaria Avenue, against the use of the property at 504 W. Lemon Avenue for business and a bird farm, such birds being allegedly kept and maintained in such manner as to disrupt and disturb their peace and quiet, interfering with the reasonable use. of their property and the enjoyment of life, and being a detriment to their property and impairing its value, causing disturbance and annoyance to them by reason of unsightliness, noise, etc., an investigation was made by the Los Angeles County Sanitarian and Rodent~ontro1 Division, and the staff. That the investigation by the County Sanitarian and Rodent Control representative resulted in reports that in their opinion no sanitation or rodent problem exists. That the staff investigation resulted in the findings that the pens are old and not in good repair and are located three and five feet from property lines; that conditions are such that the birds, approximately 200 in number, could be a disturbance to the neighbors. That the following recommendations were contained in a notice to abate a nuisance sent to Mr. Louis E. Ud1enik, owner of the property complained of: 1. Construct a six foot high masonry wall along the south line of the property known as 504 W. Lemon and a six foot high masonry wall along I the east and west property lines of said property from the rear building line of the house at 504 W. Lemon Avenue to join with the wall on the south property line. 2. All pens for the keeping of birds or animals, shall be located at least twenty five feet from any property line. That Mr. and Mrs. Udlenik submitted an appeal to the Council from the recommendation of the masonry wall as being financially impossible. Mayor Pro Tempore Phillips thereupon declared the hearing open and stated that the Council would hear first from the complainants, and the following persons addressed the Council, stating in part: 6. 8-7-62 I I HEARING (Lapin) F-858 HEARING (Gile) F-925 15:5745 Mrs. Vera M. Colvin, 503 W. Wistaria Avenue: She read a note from Mrs. E1f1eda Fisher, 485 W. Wistaria Avenue which in substance stated that she was in accord with the Manager's recommendations. Mrs. Colvin stated in part that'she too favored the said recommendations, In answer to Councilman Reibo1d she stated that she thought the Manager's recommendations would alleviate the situation, In answer to the City Attorney's questions as to whether the keeping of the birds interferes with the reasonable use of her property and causes a detriment and impairment to the value thereof, she replied in the affirmative, and to his question as to whether compliance with the recommendation of the City Manager will materially reduce the disturbance, she replied that it would. She added that if Mr. and Mrs. Ud1enik carried out the City Manager's recommendation with regard to the masonry wall she would pay half the cost of building it on their common boundary, which is approximately 54.3 feet, Mr, John H. Colvin, 503 W, Wistaria Avenue: That he also favored the City Manager's recommendations, In answer to the City Attorney's question that if he were asked the same questions as were asked of his wife would his answers be substantially the same, Mr, Colvin replied that they would. Mrs. Lois Eberly, 508 W. Lemon Avenue: That she agreed with the City Manager's recommendations; also that she had moved from the Lemon Avenue address to another city because of the noise and unsightliness. There being no other complainants that desired to be heard Mayor Pro Tempore Phillips then stated that the Council would hear from the respondent. Mrs, Louis E. Udlenik, 504 W, Lemon Avenue, addressed the Council, and in answer to various questions stated in part that she was speaking on behalf of her husband who was not well; that they maintained approximately 200 parakeets which were kept as a hobby but that they did sell some of the birds; and that she believed the pens could be repaired. No one else desiring to be heard Councilman Reibold MOVED that the hearing be closed. Councilman Balser seconded the motion which was carried unanimously, After extensive discussion regarding staff findings, the City Manager's recommendations, whether the facts do constitute a nuisance within the ordinance, determination as to conditions to impose and the time within which compliance with such conditions shall commence and be completed, Councilman Reibo1d MOVED that the Council instruct the City Attorney to prepare a resolution pursuant to the requirements of the Arcadia Municipal Code determining' that the keeping of the birds in the quantities and manner and location complained of does constitute a nuisance to the neighbors and impairs the value of adjacent properties, determining that the recommendations of the City Manager shall be complied with, and specifying that the time within which compliance therewith shall commence and be completed shall be 120 days, Councilman Turner seconded the motion which was carried unanimously, Application by Ly1i P, Lapin for a business permit to allow a Ladies Ready-to~Wear C10se-Out-Sa1e at 1110 S.

Mayor Pro Tempore Phillips declared the hearing open on the application for a permit filed by Ronald T. Gi1e to charge a cover charge for entertainment at the Cat's Pajamas Coffee House at 166 E, Huntington Drive, and inquired if anyone desired to be heard in the matter, The applicant addressed the Council and in answer to questions, described the proposed entertainment as consisting of traditional American folk music and that the charge was necessary to supplement the income of the cafe, 7, 8-7-62 IMPROVEMENT OF DUARTE RD, (Bid Award) F-918 METHODIST HOSPITAL (Left Turn Pocket) F-85 15:5746 No one else desiring to be heard Councilman Balser ~ that the hearing be closed. Councilman Turner seconded the motion which was carried unanimously, Discussion ensued, and it being the consensus of the Council that inasmuch as it has been the policy of the Council not to permit this type of entertainment at a cover charge; that it might set a precedent; that the Planning Consultants recently employed by the City had asked that present development in that area be frozen pending their survey, Councilman Balser MOVED that the Council find and determine that the granting of the permit and the conduct of the business for which it was requested will be detrimental to the public welfare of the City and the inhabitants thereof and that the Council deny the application of Ronald T. Gi1e for a permit I. to charge a cover charge for entertainment at the Cat's Paja~s Coffee House at 166 E. Huntington Drive, Councilman Turner seconded the motion which was carried unanimously, Following bids received August 6,1962 for the improvement of Duarte Road from the Arcadia Wash to Third Avenue and the north side of Campus Drive: Martin & Weisz D & W Paving Coxco) Inc.

That due to the low price and the urgency of the matter the hospital administrator authorized the work to be completed and in addition , ordered signs to be posted advising of the approach to the hospital I grounds and to use the left lane for entrance, That it is the combined opinion of the City Manager, the Director of Public Works and the Police Chief that material benefit will inure to the City as a result of the elimination of such traffic hazard, . The City Manager continued that inasmuch as it has been the practice of the City to make improvements to new curb and gutter installations, it is his recommendation that payment of the sum of $545,70 be made to the Methodist Hospital to cover the cost of such installation, Whereupon Councilman Turner MOVED, seconded by Councilman Reibo1d and carried on roll call vote as follows that the Council accept the recommendation of the City Manager and authorize the appropriation of the sum of $545,70 from Reserve for Capital Projects Account No, 285, General Fund, to Capital Projects Account No. 222, Left Turn bays, 8. 8-7-62 FOOTHILL FREEWAY AGREEMENT 1 -I l5:5747 Huntington Drive and payment of such amount be made to the Methodist Hospital of Southern California: AYES: Councilmen Balser, Reibo1d, Turper, Phillips NOES: None ABSENT: Mayor Butterworth The City Manager spoke about the proposed Foothill Freeway agreement and its review by the Director of Public Works, both having been previously submitted to the Council, stating in substance that the City Attorney and he had made two revisions in the agreement and that a resolution had been prepared which would be presented by the City Attorney, said revision covering points primarily dealing with the Baldwin Avenue extension and interchange, providing for Baldwin Avenue to be an underpass under the- freeway and making reference to the grading of the freeway through Arcadia. The City Manager also commented on a communication dated August 7,1962 from John H. Saunders, 841-San Simeon Road, President of the Rancho Santa Anita Residents' Association, regarding said proposed agreement and recommending that it not be executed until final elevations of the freeway are established, or that a clause be added to the effect that the City's approval of the configuration of the interchange shown on the plan map is conditional and subject to revocation if the ultimate elevations established for the freeway are not approved by the City, The City Manager continued that if the recommendations as proposed by Mr, Saunders were included in the agreement neither the Highway Commission nor the Federal Bureau of Roads would consider it. That the matter has been under negotiation with the State Highway Department for some time and is presently only in the preliminary design stage and money for final construction design cannot be made available by the Federal Bureau of Roads until the actual interchange and location has been approved by the Highway Commission and the Federal Bureau of Roads, and that this can only be done via the agreement, which will not be done if the smallest details are subject to the City's approval. That the Council has in the past recognized the desire of the residents to keep the grading of the freeway as low as is engineering1y possible and such views have been made known to the State Highway Commission, The City Manager then added that the point has been reached where unless the agreement is executed there will be no construction plans and design and that it is his recommendation that the agreement be executed subject to the changes as made by the City Attorney, In answer to Councilman Phillips' question as to whether there is any reference in the agreement to elevation, the City Manager replied that there was none, The City Attorney explained the two changes and the effect of the resolution he had drawn at the request of the City Manager, in substance as follows: That paragraph 5 of the freeway agreement as presented by the State, stated that there shall be overpasses or underpasses as further engineer- ing studies shall determine to be feasible, and that strictly construed, such provision would give the State the right to make those decisions as it determines they shall be without any right of supervision on the part of the City, That this was changed to provide that the grade separation as shown on the map shall be underpasses or overpasses as respectively shown in the agreement unless the parties agree otherwise after engineer- ing studies indicate that changes be made, That a clause was inserted to provide that the State and the City further agree that the City may make other or further relocations, alterations, reconstructions of local streets so long as same cause no increase in cost to the State or any other public agency and do not interfere with the effectiveness of the freeway itself, That with respect to the resolution, it contains a paragraph that the Mayor and City Clerk execute the agreement, and a declaration of the intent of the parties that in authorizing the execution of such agreement 9. 8-7-62 RESOLUTION NO. 3513 15:5748 the City declares the intent and desire of the parties thereto that the freeway in the City of Arcadia will be constructed as nearly in conformity to the existing grade of the terrain as is feasible in accordance with sound engineering principals so as to minimize as far as possible all detrimental effects upon the adjacent highly developed and valuable property. That the City of Arcadia further requests that the separate agreement referred to in the freeway agreement, involving the Baldwin. Avenue extension, be formally executed by the necessary parties at the earliest possible date. . The City Attorney further explained that the effect of the above two clauses merely express the intent of the parties that the freeway will follow existing terrain to the extent feasible but does not make it a 1 condition of the agreement that it actually occur, and relies upon the creditability of the people working on the matter to follow out the intent but would not be enforeab1e in law, That the second clause does not make . . the execution of a satisfactory Baldwin Avenue extension agreement a condition, but merely asks that this take place as soon as possible. The City Attorney continued that ordinarily he would recommend against the signing of the agreement at this time but that he desired to point out to the Council that the City Manager and the Director of Public Works have been negotiating this matter for a long time and that they are satisfied that the details and the design have proceeded to such extent that from the practicalities of the situation there is no need to rely solely upon the legal leverage that the Council has by not signing the agreement at this time. That the City of Arcadia is in a different situation than other cities have found themselves in the past in that the City of Arcadia has obtained and received permission for sizable Federal grants to aid in the construction of the freeway and particularly sizeable commitments from the County of Los Angeles; however, the City will lose the legal leverage it has if the Council signs the agreement now as to some of the minor details; that the practicalities of the situation might outweigh the legal technicalities, That he felt it was the City Attorney's function to point out the legal effect of the documents and the Council's action thereon arid that it was the Manager's proper function to recommend timing of the agreement as he has done. The City Attorney then presented and read in its entirety, Resolution No. 3513, entitled: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE AGREEMENT NO. VII-LA-9-Ada WITH THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS, DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS, FOR THE CLOSING OR RELOCATION OF CITY STREETS, THE CONSTRUCTION OF FRONTAGE AND OTHER LOCAL ROADS, FOR CARRYING CITY STREETS OVER OR UNDER THE FREEWAY, AND FOR OTHER CONSTRUCTION AFFECTING CITY STREETS IN SAID CITY." Before Councilmanic action could be taken on the above resolution, Mr. John H. Saunders received permission to address the Council. He spoke at length regarding the concern of the residents of the Santa Anita Rancho area regard~ . ing the advent of the freeway and its effect on the value of their property, 1 He also mentioned the loss of leverage, as explained by the City-Attorney, with respect to the elevation of the freeway, and urged the Council to retain this leverage. He commented that with regard to the cost, would the State bear the cost of more expensive construction here or will the adjacent property owners bear the cost by depreciation in value of their property, He added that the residents of the area are convinced that the property values will be depreciated by an elevated freeway, and urged the Council to defer action if there is any question in its mind as to the importance of this situation of property values until the Rancho Santa Anita Residents' Association can present the Council with a report of a qualified appraiser. After brief further discussion, it being the consensus of the Council that a postponement of the execution of the agreement would not cause any undue hardship, Councilman Reibold MOVED that the authorization for the execution of the proposed freeway agreement (between the City of Arcadia and State of lO. 8-7-62 RECESS HIGHWAY USER'S TAX FIRE DEn. 1 (Electro- writer System) : .
