NOES: None
ABSENT: Councilmen Camphouse, Phillips
Request of Dr. J. Kendall McBane for annexation to Arcadia of his
property at 1167 West Duarte Road and referred to the Planning Commission
for recommendation, said property consisting of one lot.
The City Attorney commented that the staff contacted other owners in the
area regarding annexation but received no affirmative response; also that
the Planning Commission could see no objection to the requested annexation
and felt that consideration should be given to R-3 zoni~g for this
property should it be annexed.
Council indicating its desire to proceed further, Councilman Butterworth 1
moved that the staff be instructed to submit the description of the
subject property to the County Boundary Commission and that the Planning
Commission be instructed to notice and hold a public hearing regarding
zoning of the property. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion.
At the request of Councilman Butterworth, Mr. Ervin H. Golisch, Planning
Commission's liaison with the Council, advised in substance that normally
this property would come in as R-l; however, it being in an area, as far
as Arcadia is concerned, that is already zoned R-3 it appeared reasonable
to conclude that the subject property will ultimately become an elongation
of the R-3 properties in the area; that although the Planning Commission
is not too inclined to have additional R-3 it was felt that inasmuch as
an application would probably eventually be made for a zone change to
R-3, that in an endeavor to expedite the matter that R-3 was recommended.

The City Attorney further commented that the County Boundary Commission
has 20 days within which to report upon the boundary description; that
after receipt of the approved description Council may adopt a resolution
formally instituting the annexation processes and the protest hearing
cannot be held less than 40 days after the adoption of the resolution;
that during the approximately 60 day period it would be his recommen-
dation that the Planning Commission give notice and hold a hearing
". concerning the zoning to be placed on the property concurrent with its
annexation and that its recommendation be submitted to the Council prior
to said sixty day period.
The City Attorney advised that with regard to the request of Joseph W.
and Muriel A. Scheuer that a small triangular portion of their property
located in the City of Sierra Madre, at the rear of lot 13, Tract No.
18702 (2051 Vista Avenue) be annexed to Arcadia, that between the
cities of Sierra Madre and Monrovia, the City of Arcadia has had numerous
exchang~s of portions of lots in order to get an entire lot in one city
or the other, and that there is a simplified process applicable here if
it be Council's desire to accede to the request, namely, the consent of
the owner, the consent of the City of Sierra Madre by resolution and the
consent of the City of Arcadia by resolution; . that the filing of such
latter resolution with the Secretary of State accomplishes the change of
boundary.
The Council indicating its willingness to proceed further in the matter,
Councilman Reibold moved that the City Attorney proceed with the prepa-
ration of the necessary documents. Councilman Butterworth seconded the
motion which was Carried unanimously.
Motion by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Reibold and
carried unanimously that Council accept the recommendation of the Planning

Regarding Planning Commission Resolution No. 412, recommending that the
business of distribution of electronic components, as proposed by Mr.
Thomas A. Lynch, be classified as a use permissible in Zone C-M,
Councilman Butterworth advisl!d'~ that the applicant had in the interim
leased property in a nearby city and that he moved the matter be
tabled. (Mr. Lynch had requested that his proposed business be 1
classified as a use permissible in Zone C-2).
The City Attorney stated, in the general discussion that ensued, that ,
had the applicant filed an application for the conduct of a predominantly
retail ,business .no ',clarification' ,would ,have ,been neC;essary, but that the
statements made by the applicant leaned substantially toward a wholesale
type of business rather than retail and the resolution of the Planning
Commission was tailored to cover only the business as outlined by the
applicant; that it did not purport to encompass the entire field. That
the Planning Commission recognized that this business, at least as it
would be initially conducted, would be very desirable. That even if it
developed into a basically wholesale operation it would be acceptable
at the location the applicant had in mind and a variance application
would have been very much in order for this particular location; however,
no variance application was made. '
Councilman Reibo1d stated in part that in view of the City Attorney's
statements he thought Councilman Butterworth's motion was proper. He
also suggested that consideration be given the matter at some future date
when it is more appropriate. That he thought the staff plus the Planning
Commission should investigate the matter. That he was personally inclined
to believe that present day wholesale operations are in a different
category than what traditionally has been classified as wholesale, and
that he would suggest that a present day analysis be made by the staff
and the Planning Commission in an endeavor to come to a conclusion of
where the line may be drawn within the category of wholesale. He added
that he did not question but that the Planning Commission acted in good
faith, but that he questioned whether a wholesale sale is any different
than a retail sale. Mayor ,Balser pointed out that there is a difference
of sales tax. '
To the City Manager's question as to the differential in the commercial
areas between retail and wholesale, Mr. Ervin H. Go1isch, Planning Com-
mission's liaison with the Council, explained that in this particular case
the applicant was seeking classification of a business which apparently
was only 20 to 30% retail at the present time; that one of the basic
problems was that any major increase in his business would all be in the
area of ' a wholesale business. That if ultimately this business was gOingl
to develop into a wholesale business it would be doing an injustice to
the other retail businesses in that area.
The City Manager stated in part that so long as there is no manufacturing
or fabricating he wondered if the City's zoning ordinance should not be
reviewed in order to clarify the retail section so that this type of
operation could take place in a C-2 zone.
Councilman Butterworth then stated that he desired to withdraw his motion
inasmuch as the applicant is a client of his law office and consequently
he felt he should take no part in any proceedings pertaining to the matter.
Councilman Reibo1d thereupon moved that the matter contained in Planning
Commission Resolution No. 412 be tabled. Mayor Balser seconded the motion

Mr. Jerome T. Stewart, a partner ,of the subject company, addressed the
Council, stating in part that the letters just read ,had not been
solicited; that no doubt many more would have been received had they
been solicited. He then introduced Mr. Ray Cappon, manager of the golf
course, who addressed the Council, stating in part that he had contacted
many county and city oWned golf courses; among them being the Rancho,
Boyle, Western Avenue, Monte Bello, Ontario, Altadena, San Clemente,
Maywood, Whittier and others, all selling beer on their premises. He
mentioned that although the Par-3 Golf Course is located on city-owned
property they pay rent for the land in the same manner as they would to
-'a 'private individual. He suggested that the City grant them a three
..,months probation period and then if there were complaints the privilege
could be revoked.
-.,:
Mayor Balser stated that his thinking on the subject has not changed;
,that he personally feels very strongly against the sale of intoxicating
beverages at recreation facilities, including bowling alleys and golf
courses, and that he could see no reason to change his opinion at this
time.
Whereupon Councilman Butterworth moved that Council deny the request of
the Arcadia Golf Course to amend their lease with the City to permit the
sale of beer on the-premises of said ,golf course. Councilman Reibold
seconded the motion which was carried on roll call vote as follows:
AYES: Councilmen Butterworth, Reibold, Balser

Mr. Tom Sullivan, Jr., an Arcadia businessman, addressed the Council, and
criticized the manner in which the matter of the classification of the
business of distribution of electronic components, as proposed by Mr;
Thomas A. Lynch, had been handled.
He $tated in part that he thought in this particular instance it'W8S, a
matter of different interpretations of the zoning ordinance by different
'per$ons and that the time spent in endeavoring to come to a conclusion
as to whether the business was wholesale or retail had subsequently
resulted in Mr. Lynch locating in another city before a conclusion had
been reached, resulting in a loss of revenue to the City and its
residents. ' That he felt the City's zoning ordinances were outmoded and
too restrictive and suggested that the Council grant emergency powers to
the City Manager or to the Council as a whole to give prospective firms
quick action; he also suggested that a thorough study be made of the
zoning ordinances. '
Mayor Balser pointed out that Council had expressed itself on this
subject earlier in the evening; that instructions had been given to the
staff and the Planning Commission to study the zoning ordinance in an
effort to clarify it.
MATTERS NOT ON THE AGENDA
ANNUAL AUDIO
VISUAL REPORT
"I S f'

A discussion was held regarding the City Manager's request for Council's
determination regarding the matter of rendering an annual report to the
public via audio visual or printed, the subject having been ~isc~ssed
during the budget sessions and provisions for same having been made in
the budget.
It being the consensus of the Council that the audio-visual approach
was favored, Councilman Reibold moved that the City Manager be instructed
to proceed with its investigation. Councilman Butterworth seconded the
motion which was carried unanimously.
The City Manager commented that he would attempt to have something
finalized by the next Council meeting.

Councilman Reibold mentioned, and a discussion was held, regarding
the possibility of the City being reimbursed by the County for the
expense incurred by the City due to the necessity of the Water
Department installing an inverted siphon in the point of Duarte Road
and Santa Anita Avenue to enable the County'Flood Control to install
their storm drain. The City Attorney said that this could be done only
with respect to revenue-producing utilities and explained the
reasons therefor.
Councilman Reibold commented again on the inadequacy of the City"s
present zoning laws as they concern businesses such as the one
discussed earlier in the evening (Lynch) and urged again that the
staff and the Planning Commission take into consideration the total
impact of the loss of this type of operation as it affects other
businesses in the City, such as banks,merchants, etc. That he wished
to stress the point that a realistic modern look be taken of the
zoning ordinances.

emphasizing and reiterating statements made earlier in the evening,

Rousellot.
