The City Manager advised that on May 23; 1963 an application for the
issuance of a business license was received by the City for a beer tavern
to be located in the same development and that at this time the City is
attempting to protest the issuance of a permit for the beer tavern by the
Alconolic Beverage Control on the basis that it would be detrimental to the
residential properties in the area; that the location adjacent to an exist-
ing drive-in restaurant (corner of Arcadia and Baldwin Avenues) could create
policing problems and the subject application, if granted, would be affected
if tne facilities were located adjacent to a beer tavern.
Mayo~ Phillips then declared the hearing open on

the subject application
of the granting of said
I
Mr. Joseph O. GallaI, the applicant, residing at 506 Santa Cruz Road,
addressed the Council, stating in part that the proposed facilities at
the subject location were the same as described at a hearing held February
19, 1963, at which time he had requested a business permit to establish and
operate a 20 table billiard room at 37 East Huntington Drive. That this
new image of billiards, created by the Brunswick Company, could be an
integral part of bowling centers; that the proposed facilities would be a
family type recreational center; that there would be no gambling; and that
in his opinion the subject location would be ideal for the proposed business
and ~ould not be detrimental to the area.
No one else desiring to speak in favor of the requested permit, Mayor
Phillips stated that the Council would now hear those in opposition to the
granting of the requested business permit.
The following persons addressed the Council, stating
IN ~:
Mr. Jerry Cole, 326 Fairview Avenue, General Sales Manager of Kent Chevrolet
located at 850 S. Baldwin Avenue, and President of the West Arcadia Business
& Professional Association: That he was protesting the granting of the
requested permit on behalf of himself and the following persons not present
at this hearing:
Mr. Tom McKibben of Santa Anita Travel, 1110 South Baldwin Avenue
Mr. George Sanders of Colonial Pharmacy, 1326 South Baldwin Avenue
Mr. M. A. Shenbaum of Richards Mens Store, 1315 South Baldwin Avenue
Mr. Henry Provost of Hub Hardware, 1311 South Baldwin Avenue
Mr. A. L. ViselIi of Arcadia Floor Covering, 1202 South Baldwin Avenue
Mr. Jack Vail of VaiIs Jewelers, 1275 South Baldwin
and the following persons present at this hearing:
Mr. L. E. Beauchamp, Insurance, 870 W. Duarte Road (Treasurer of West Arcadia
Business & Professional Associaton) I
Mr. James R. Weitz, Manager of WAB&PA and member of the Board of Directors
said association)
Mr. I. E. Hollander of Hollander Appliances, 1228 South Baldwin (Past Presi .
of WAB&PA)
Mr. Dave Barron of Barrons Pharmacy, 1271 South Baldwin Avenue (Past President
of WAB&PA and member of the Board of Directors of same)
Dr. John F. Stewart, Dentist, 630 West Duarte Road
Mr. Don Ehr, Assistant Manager of Hinshaws Department Store and member of
the Board of Directors of WAB&PA
Mr. Jack Schmitz of Jack the Toy Man, 1220.South Baldwin"Avenue.
Dr. Robert L. D'Arcy, Optometrist, I228~ South Baldwin Avenue
Mr. Cole continued in part that their..opposition was primarily directed at
the proposed location of the facilities; that in their opinion this would
have a deterring effect on the area and could result in a serious policing
problem.

In answer to questions propounded by the Council, Mr. Cole advised in
part that the matter had not been brought before the Board of Directors
of the West Arcadia Business & Professional Association officially but
that of the members and businessmen in the area polled by telephone
one hundred per cent had indicated opposition to the proposed facilities.
That in spite of the claim that the new type billiard center could not be
equated with the old type, it was felt that such a recreation had not
changed; that it would draw all types of clientele; that the opposition
waa not against pool halls per se but was opposed to such facilities in
the proposed location. That if it were determined that the matter ahould
be brought before the Board of Directors of the West Arcadia Business &
Professional Association, the pictures and literature of the proposed
facilities emanating from Brunswick would be shown. That the persons
present at this hearing were individually opposed to the proposed facilities
in the subject location and within at least a 20 block radius; that there
would be no opposition to the billiard tables being located in Bowling
Square as there is more parental guidance there.
Mr. Don Ehr, 215 W. Pamela Road: That he concurred with Mr~ Cole. He
propounded in substance the following questions of the Council: Had
this alleged modern type billiard room been investigated as to its
success in other areas; is the applicant experienced in this new type
venture, and is the City ready for an experiment; have any young people
indicated a desire for such recreation; and would it be a real 'addition
to the West Arcadia.business area? That in his opinion there were no
affirmative answers to any of the questions; that this could be compared
to spot zoning; that it should be a part of a recreational center; that
there is no precedent to indicate that it will differ from the old time
pool hall.
In answer to Councilman Butterworth's comment that there had been no vote
taken on the matter by the Board of Directors of the West Arcadia Business
& Professional Association and that everyone would be more satisfied if
this were done, Mr. Ehr replied in substance that the survey which had been
made was, in his opinion, sufficient to indicate the position the Board of
Directors would take and that such position would not change by continuing
the matter two weeks or a month based on the information presently obtain-
able.
Dr, Robert D'Arcy: That his teenage son had narrated experiences of some
of his friends who frequented bowling alleys with billiard tables and
on that basis he would oppose this type of facility in Arcadia; that he was
not opposed to billiards or pool per',se and would not oppose such
facilities in Bowling Square; that such an enterprise would not attract the
ded~ element of patronage and would have a deterring effect on the
community; that in his opinion the application should be denied on the
basis that it is not in the best interests of the City or the children
residing therein.
I
No one else desiring to be heard, Councilman Reibold MOVED that the hearing
be closed. Councilman Balser seconded the motion which was carried
unanimously.
Councilman Reibold further MOVED that the Council deny the application of
Joseph O. Gallal for a business permit to conduct a family recreation center
with twelve pocket billiard tables at 1025 South Baldwin Avenue. Councilman
Balser seconded the motion.
Councilman Butterworth observed in substance that although Mr. Gallal had
received Councilmanic approval of his application for the same type of
enterprise on Huntington Drive in Downtown Arcadia and that he had voted
in favor of it under the belief that the majority of the Downtown business-
men would support the project, that subsequent events indicating opposition
o~ such businessmen had caused Mr, Gallal, a man of good conscience and a
3.
6-4-63
15:6014
feeling of responsibility to the community, to withdraw his application.
That with regard to the subject matter, if the West Arcadia Business &
Professional Association is opposed, he would vote against the subject
application. However, inasmuch as the businessmen seem to equate the
proposed facilities with the old type pool hall, in his opinion action
should be continued until a more comprehensive survey can be made by the
West Arcadia Business & Professional Association.
Councilman Butterworth then MOVED that the hearing be continued to the next
Council meeting (June 18, 1963). Councilman Turner seconded the motion.
Councilman Turner stated in part that in his opinion the presentation,
including pictures and literature, made by Mr. Gallal at the hearing for I
similar. facilities proposed to be located on Huntington Drive, would not
indicate an equation with the old type billiard and pool hall; that after
a more thorough investigation and after having an opportunity to see the
illustrations of the subject facilities, as distributed by the Brunswick
Company, and becoming aware of the fact that the Brunswick Company will
spend large sums of money to promote billiards, the West Arcadia Business
& Professional Association might view the project more favorably. He also
commented on the fact that bowling alleys as they are today could not, in
his opinion, 'be equated with those in the past.
Councilman Butterworth commented that inasmuch as no member of the West
Arcadia Business & Professional Association had been present when Mr. Ga~laI
had illustrated his first request with pictures and literature that there
could be no harm in having such a presentation made to the Association;
that Mr. Gallal is a responsible businessman in this community and should
be given a hearing. .
Councilman Reibold stated in part that when the application was before the
Council for the facilities to be located in Downtown Arcadia he had voted
for approval of the application because he believed the facilities would
have improved a building in need of upgrading. That after the permit was
granted, for reasons known to those involved, certain pressures were
brought to bear causing Mr. Gallal to withdraw his application; that there
were no factors in the subject situation which would bar similar pressure
being applied; that the pressures might become stronger. That in his
opinion there are two things involved: (I) that the merchants do not
happen to want this type of business next to theirs; and (2) that the
operation was objectionable per se to the people of Arcadia. That he
could see no difference in the matter before Council. at this time and
that he would personally oppose the continuance.
Councilman Balser stated in part that he did not question but that Mr.
Gallal has a good development for a recreation center; however, that in
his opinion the game of pool has not changed and is not a des~rable business
in any area in Arcadia and that he was opposed to the amendment to continue
the mat ter .
Mayor Phillips pointed out that there would be only three Council~n presentl
at the Council meetings for the next two or three months and fOl that reason
the matter would not be postponed for merely two weeks but probably all
. summer.
The following roll call was then taken on the amendment proposed by
Councilman Butterworth:

The City Manager advised that Mr. C. B. Nichols, owner of the property
at 46 LaPorte Street desires to lease said property to Bowman's Sheet
Metal and the newsstand distributor of the Los Angeles Times; that said
property is in an area designated as research and development in the
Central Area Plan and also in the area designated as the 2nd phase of
the timing for research and development zoning. That permitting the
subject building to be occupied by these two firms would perpetuate the
economic life of a building which should be torn down.
Discussion ensued. It was stated in part that the plan was never I
intended to result in businessmen going out of business; that until the,.
plan is adopted some temporary relief should be available and the
Council given the discretion of providing such relief.
The City Attorney advised that if the Council is of the opinion that the '

Mrs. Plyler addressed the Council, requesting its endorsement of the
installation of a boulevard stop at said intersection. She mentioned
a report from the Chief of Police which recommended against such
installation as not meeting the criterea established for stop signs.
Also that the City Manager had indicated that stop signs would make
the crossing more hazardous since through traffic would have a tendency
to ignore or fail to see a stop sign at this point.
After extensive discussion and the Council concurring in the policy of
not holding firmly to an established criterea where the safety of
children is concerned, Councilman Balser MOVED that the Council authorize
the installation forthwith of stop signs at the intersection of Santa 1
Anita and Virginia Avenues. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion.
After further discussion and suggestions as to signs being erected so
many feet in advance of stop signs indicating a stop sign ahead, and
the value of flashing lights in the interim, Councilman Balser ADDED
to his MOTION that consideration be given to stop lights in the subject
intersection in the future. Councilman Reibold agreed to this addition
to the motion, which was then carried unanimously.
Discussion was held on the request of Mr. and Mrs. William Cline of
1066 Singingwood Drive for relief from driveway standards as provided
in Section 7212.1 of the Arcadia Municipal Code in the construction of
their new home at 980 Singingwood Drive.
The City Manager advised that plans showing an asphalt drive and
approach for the new construction were approved; that a building permit
was issued December 12, 1962, a month prior to the approval by the
Council of the new standards; that while the building permit as well
as other required permits were issued prior to January 15, 1963, the
permit for the curb cut and drive approach was not applied for until
last week.
It being the consensus of the Council that inasmuch as construction of
new homes in the area has been almost saturated and that the esthetic
appearance would be more pleasing if the subject driveway were asphalt,
in keeping with practically all the driveways in the Upper Rancho area,
Councilman Butterworth ~ that the request of Mr. and Mrs. William
Cline for relief from Driveway Standards as provided in Section 7212.1
of the Arcadia Municipal Code be granted. Councilman Reibold seconded
the motion which was carried unanimously.
The City Attorney presented and read in its entirety Ordinance No. 1212

Mr. Glen H. Meyer, 184 La Sierra Drive, addressed the Council, inquiring
in substance as to whether the proposed gate requirements have proven
successful in other communities; that if such requirements have been
proven to prevent accidents he would favor them.
The City Attorney explained the reasons for the proposed requirements,
citing a decision of the District Court of Appeals holding against
a property owner who had a gate across his driveway which had been
propped open while he was washing his car, enabling a child to gain
access to the pool without his knowledge.
Councilman Turner inquired as to the outcome of his suggestion that the
subject ordinance specify which side of the gate opening was to be
posted. The City Attorney stated that the ordinance had not been
corrected in that respect and suggested that it might be well to place
a sign on both sides.
