Thatcher Jordan, Pastor of the Church of the Good Shepherd, Mayor Balser led in the pledge of allegianc~ to the flag, PRESENT: ABSENT : Councilmen Butterworth, Camp-house, Reibold, Phillips, Balser None MOTION by Councilman Camphouse, seconded by Councilman Phillips and carried unanimously that the minutes of the Regular Meeting of November 21, 1961 as previously approved, be corrected by changing the figure of $4950.00 appearing on page 5, under the heading "Bid Award - Truck Loader" to $3995.00, and as thus corrected that they be approved, MOTION by Councilman Phillips, seconded by Councilman Camphouse and carried unanimously (with the exception of Councilman Reibold who abstained due to absence from the December. 5, 1961 meeting) that the minutes of the Regular Meeting of December 5, 1961 as submitted in writing be approved. Mayor Balser declared the hearing open on the application of Mrs. I. M. Hayes Specht for a variance from specified provisions of the Building Code to allow the operation of a dress shop at 1110 South Baldwin Avenue on a temporary basis, said property being in a C-2 zone, and inquired if anyone in the audience desired to speak in favor of the granting of the requested variance. The applicant, Mrs, Specht, addressed the Council, stating that she had nothing to add to the information presently in said application, In answer to Councilman Phillips' query as to whether she was aware of the eight conditions specified by the Director of Public Works and the Superintendent of Building and Safety to be made a requirement of the variance if granted, she replied that she was aware of said conditions and that they were satisfactory. To Mayor Balser's question as to whether anyone desired to speak in opposition to the granting of the requested variance, Mr. Henry H, Hege, 651 Duarte Road, Arcadia, an attorney representing Arlinic Properties, owners of property in the subject area, addressed the Council, stating that he was not thoroughly familiar with the matter. He requested and received permission to read the eight conditions mentioned above and upon reading them' he stated in part that on behalf of his client he w~shed to oppose the granting of the requested variance on the basis that the subject building is old and that while his client is not opposed to a retail dress shop in the area, it is felt that such a business should be housed in a commercial building rather than in a residence. Mrs. Specht then explained that the owner of the subject residence plans the commencement of the construction of a commercial building adjacent to the residence within six months and contemplates removing the residence in order to provide parking for the commercial building; that she desires locating in the subject residence in order to establish herself in that area and contemplates moving her operation into the commercial building When'constructed;. 1. 12-19-61 . 14:5556 To Mr. Hege's remark that prior to his client building in that area .they were refused a similar variance, he was advised that in that particular .instance a zone change was involved; that the subject residence is presently in a C-2 zone and that if granted, will be for temporary occupancy only; that there was assurance from the owner of the subject property that plans for a new commercial building in that area are in process and that the occupancy of the subject building under conditions as specified seemed to be a better solution than permitting it to remain vacant. The City Clerk read a communication dated December 14, 1961, from Edward J, Markey, Trustee for the estate of the owners of the subject property, which stated in substance,that he had read the conditions under which a variance from the Building Code has been recommended for approval and that I he agreed thereto, No one else desiring to be heard Councilman Reibold MOVED that the hearing be closed, Motion seconded by Councilman Phillips and carried unanimously. Discussion ensued. Councilman Reibold stated in part that he desired it understood that he would not be willing to extend the requested variance but would be willing to grant it for a year. Councilman Phillips pointed out that inasmuch as condition No.4 states that the property owner will commence construction of a commercial structure on the site within six months from the date the variancesLarel'granted, that if this condition is not met the variance would then be terminated. Councilman Butterworth stated in part that inasmuch as the applicant has indicated that the eight conditions are satisfactory, he MOVED that the variance be granted from Sections 502 and l602(a) of the Uniform Building Code, providing that the eight conditions as listed in the memorandum to the Mayor and City Council from the Director of Public Works and the Superintendent of Building and Safety, dated December 8, 1961 be made a condition of the granting of the variance. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion. Mayor Balser stated in part that he was strongly opposed to business in a residential home in a business area; that there is a good business develop- ment in West Arcadia and that he could see no justification in giving this kind of a variance; that it is not compatible with the rest of the area. Councilman Butterworth stated in part that the City needs business in West Arcadia and the more business of the right type the better; that this seems to be a good location and the applicant is apparently anxious to become known at that location and that it is either an empty abandoned building or a reasonable use thereof, Councilman Camphouse stated in part that he was inclined to favor the six months variance. The City Attorney suggested that the variance be granted for six months and automatically extended for an additional six months if the new commercial building is started on the site within six months, I With the consent of Councilman Reibold, Councilman Butterworth amended his motion to incorporate the City Attorney's suggestion to read as follows: That a variance be granted from the provisions of Sections 502 and l602(a) of the Uniform Building Code for a period of six months from date hereof upon condition that the eight conditions listed in the December 8, 1961 memorandum to the Mayor and the City Council from the Director of Public Works and the Superintendent of Building and Safety be complied with, said variance to be extended for an additional six months if the proposed new commercial building on the site be commenced within six months after date hereof, and if so commenced and all of the eight conditions have been complied with during said six months' period, the variance hereby granted shall automatically be extended for an additional six months upon the 2. 12-19-61 I HEARING (Planning COllUlliss ion Resolutions Nos. 429 & 430) If, \,J, '~ 4"~ INDl!;XED 1'/ .~ <i{&,O INDEXED I 14:5557 same conditions to the extent that they are then applicable, and that the word "building" be substituted for the word "structure" in condition 4 as thus incorporated by reference; AYES: Councilmen Butterworth, Camphouse, Reibold, Phillips NOES: Mayor Balser ABSENT: None Planning COllUllission Resolution No. 429 recommending reclassification from Zone R-l to Zones C-2 and D (Architectural Overlay) Northeast corner of Las Tunas Drive and Baldwin Avenue.

The Planning Director displayed an aerial map of the area and pointed to the'subject lots. He explained the thinking of the Planning Commission in making its recollUllendations (contained in said resolutions Nos, 429 and 430) and suggested that both the above Planning Commission resolutions be considered at the same time. Whereupon Councilman Reibold~, seconded by Councilman Camphouse and carried unanimously that the hearings on Planning COllUllission Resolutions Nos. 429 and 430 be consolidated, and that all testimony presented as to the subject matter of either of said resolutions be received and made part of the record as to each of said matters. Mayor Balser then declared the hearing open on Planning COllUllission Resolutions Nos. ,429 and 430. The City Clerk read a communication dated December 18, 1961 from Fred B. and Patricia Heartt, 479 Woodruff Avenue, stating in substance that they approve the recommendation of the Planning COllUllission as to the property at the northeast corner of Las Tunas Drive and Baldwin Avenue and oppose the commercial variance requested by Mr. Stogsdill for Baldwin Avenue north from Las. Tunas Drive. Mayor Balser inquired if anyone in the audience desired to address the Council in favor of the zone changes, and the following persons spoke: Mr. Henry Shatford, 410 Drake Road, Arcadia, an attorney representing Mr. Ralph D, Stogsdill, spoke at length, stating in part that he hoped the Council would follow the recommendation of the Planning COllUllission except as to the easterly 25 feet of lot 17 and the westerly 25 feet of lot 16; that the conditions imposed are satisfactory to the applicant except as to the condition with regard to air conditioning, which should be subject to ordinary engineering and construction. That with regard to the recommendation of the Planning COllUllission as to Lot 2 on Baldwin Avenue, that said Baldwin Avenue is considered an arterial highway; that directly across the street from lot 2 the develop- ment is commercial; that in the opinion of the County of Los Angeles planning experts C-2 backed up to R-l is not archaic but is compatible and that the owner of lot 1 is agreeable to the requested zone change, Mr. Robert E, Heale, 2604 South Baldwin Avenue addressed the Council, stating that he is the owner of the property illUllediately north of lot 2 and that he favored it being rezoned to C-2; also that he intended apply- ing for a zone change for his property. 3. 12-19-61 "-I I .'"/ :r- ~' ~) INDEXED 14:5558 Mrs. Pearl G. Shermerhorn, owner of the lot south of lot 2, addressed the Council, stating in part that she favored the rezoning of lot 2 to C-2. No one else desiring to be heard Councilman Butterworth MOVED that the hearing be closed. Councilman Phillips seconded the motion which was carried unanimously. Discussion ensued with reference to the conditions as outlined in said resolutions, particularly with reference to the requirement of the concrete block wall to be constructed along the north end of lot 21 and that any commercial building on said lot shall be set back 20 feet south of the north lot line. It was stated that the construction of I the wall might preclude the development of the adjoining lot for parking; also if that requirement were eliminated it should be contingent upon it being used for parking as long as it remains residential use. Councilman Camphouse MOVED that the Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission with respect to its Resolution No, 430 and accept its recommendation contained in Resolution No. 429 except that the requirement of subdivision h of section 3 be modified as follows: "That concurrent with the construction of any commercial building on lot 21 the concrete block wall when and if constructed shall be constructed on the north line of said lot, leaving the fence requirement, provided, however, that said wall may be eliminated the full length of lot 2 during such time as the southerly portion of lot 2 is developed and used as a parking lot under applicable transitional use." Councilman Reibold seconded the motion. the City Manager commented on a point which was considered by the Planning Commission in requesting the 20 foot setback, namely that if the lot is zoned commercial a commercial building ~an be built out to the front property line; that the Planning Commission was trying to protect the adjacent residential lot by requiring access to the parking via the northerly 20 feet of the commercial lot and that he believed the recommendation of the Planning Commission for the 20 foot setback was sound. Ascertaining that Mr. Stogsdill was the owner of lot 2, he was asked if this would be agreeable and he stated that he had no objection to remov- ing the 20 foot setback, In answer to Councilman Butterworth's question as to whether he understood that the Council was referring to the recommendation of the Planning Commission with respect to lot 21 to ~he south of him, and that by eliminating the requirement that any commercial building put there must be set back 20 feet from the north lot line the possibility exists that there will be commercial property out to the curb line while :R~l':zoti.ing must be maintained on lot 2 to the north, Mr, Stogsdill replied that he understood. Whereupon, at the request of Councilman Butterworth that Councilman Camphouse's motion be withdrawn and restated, Councilman Camphouse with- I drew his motion and Councilman Reibold withdrew his second.
