amounts proposed to be assessed against various lots; that copy of
such report, together with notice of the time of its submission to the
Council has been posted on the door outside the Council Chamber on and

F-919
On July 17, 1962 the hearing on the appeal of Park Investment Co.,Inc.
from Planning Commission recommendation for denial of lot split
request on property at 2215 Lee Avenue was closed and after a tie
vote (due to the absence of Councilman Phillips) which was not
sufficient to reverse the decision of the Planning Commission, was
continued.
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.

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

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

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:

City Manager: That the Council consider his suggestion that the apPlicantl.

but that he would have no objection to this additional condition:

Mayor Pro Tempore Phillips, in compliance with Mrs. Stevens' request,
asked for a show of hands from the audience and from a visual count

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.

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.

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

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.

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:

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.

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,

as it has been the policy of the Council not to permit this type of

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.

The City Manager reported that due to the traffic hazard caused by the
exit and entrance to the Methodist Hospital parking lot north of the
hospital on the east Huntington Drive lanes., plans were drawn by the
Engineering Department showing work necessary to correct the situation;
that with such plans and quantity sheet the hospital administrator secured
a price of $1730 for such proposed work and the City was requested to
participate. 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

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

Mayor Pro Tempore Phillips orde-ced held over to the ~ouncil meeting of
August 21, 1962 the matter of the City Manager's report on proposed increase
in highway user's taxes to finance city streets,
The City Manager reported that in 1961 an Electrowriter System was installed
in the City's fire stations on an annual rental basis for the purpose of
determining its efficiency, such installation having been provided in the
1961-62 budget in the amount of $1,344 for rental and maintenance to the
equipment, That with credit being given for a portion of the 1961-62 rental
the equipment can be purchased for $4,258,80 including tax and that these
funds were provided in the 1962-63 budget.
There being only one source of supply for such equipment and the amount
being in excess of $3000, Councilman Balser MOVED that the Council accept
the recommendation of the City Manager and authorize the issuance of a
purchase order to Comptometer Corporation in the amount of $4,258,80 for
the E1ect-cowrite-c System in the Fire Depa-ctment and that such sum be paid
from the 1962-63 budget account No, 422-52, Councilman Reibold seconded

The City Manager advised that the construction of the Wilderness Road as it
now exists has encroached on private property immediately southerly thereof;
that any change in the access road alignment or width would be a detriment
to the safety of vehicular traffic using the road; that it is recommended that
the City secure an easement covering the limits of the encroachment and that
the sum of $750 for such easement has been negotiated with Mr, McDonald, the
owner of the property,
The City Manager continued that the Council appropriated the sum of $6500, for
construction of the stream crossing and approaches at Wilderness Park; that
such work was completed by City forces for $4,186,3l, leaving a balance of
$2,313.69 and that inasmuch as all appropriated balances in Capital Projects
Accounts expire on June 30th of each year, reappropriations are being
requested at this meeting.
Whereupon Councilman Turner MOVED that the Council accept the -cecommendation
of the City Manager and the Director of Public Works and authorize t~e sum of
$750 being paid to Mr. Donald M, McDonald from Capital Projects Account No.
