The' Invocation was offered by Rev. Ralph English, Pastor of the Arcadia Church of the Nazarene. Mayor Balser led in the pledge of allegiance to the flag. PRESENT: ABSENT : Councilmen Butterworth, Camphouse, Reibold, Phillips, Balser None MOTION by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Reibold and carried unanimously that the minutes of the Regular Meeting of January 16, 1962 be approved as submitted in writing. Hearing on application of James G, Greer and Ora Reed Greer for a zone variance to permit the erection and operation of a gasoline service station on property at the northwest corner of Duarte Road and Golden West Avenue closed at Council meeting of January 16, 1962 and matter referred to staff for a report. The City Clerk advised that she had received several communications from residents in the subject area. However, the hearing having been closed and it being the consensus of the Council that no further evidence from the public was admissible, Councilman Butterworth MOVED that the letters not be read into the record but that they be accepted and filed. Council- man Phillips seconded the motion which was carried unanimously. The Planning Director then read a report dated February 1, 1962 from the Planning Department on the subject matter, which stated in substance that 1) recent development in .the area has been R-3 uses; 2) extraordinary circumstances were not found which would preclude the development of the subject property to uses permitted in Zone R-3 as other similar properties in the same district have done; 3) the area is not in any particular need of a service station as two others were already in existence just one block to the east; and 4) if a service station were approved similar requests for commercial zoning would be forthcoming on the. other corner, probably all the way to Baldwin Avenue and this commercial development would be detrimental to the property in the same neighborhood and zone. That because the advantages of permitting this service station to be constructed seem to be outweighed by the disadvantages, the Planning Department recommends that the application not be approved. (Report on file in office of the City Clerk). Councilman Butterworth stated in part that although the subject property is a hardship case, the essence of the hardship arises from the commercial construction immediately across the street; however, that the staff has gone into the matter and sustained the Planning Commission and that in his opinion the Council is obliged to support the staff and the Planning Commission unless they are completely arbitrary, which does not appear to be so in this instance. That people have relied upon R-3 zoning in this area and to relieve one hardship case could create others, and --'--- that under the circumstances he felt obliged to support the Planning Commission. 1. 2-6-62 HEARING (Byit te - Closed on 1-16-62 and matter continued for staff report) J fi.'1/ IND~EI) HEARING (Gladden 6< Dennis - Closed l~ 16-62 and matter continued for staff report) 14: 5595 Whereupon Councilman Butterworth ~ that Council accept the recommen- dation of the Planning 'Commission as contained in its Resolution No. 407, and the recommendation of the Planning Department, and that the zone variance request of James G. and Ora Reed Greer to permit the erection and operation of a gasoline service station on their property at the north- west corner of Duarte Road and Golden West Avenue be denied, Councilman Reibold seconded the motion. The following comments in part were then made by the Councilmen: Councilman Camphouse: That he felt keenly the fact that the subject owners have limitations a~.,to how to develop their property; that he did not concur with all the facts in the staff report; that he had viewed on I several occasions the apartment development in the area and did not think they measured up to the high standards of the community. That on the basi of the fact that the Planning Commission voted unanimously to deny the request he was inclined to sustain it. Councilman Reibold: That the fact making this a problem is simply that the south side of the street, which at one time was in the County and which Arcadia annexed, contained some business property; that it is his understanding that the busin~ss property was probably constructed prior to the time the house on the north side was built, That should the request be granted the Council would have to recognize that the same type of zoning would have to be granted for the property going eastward from there to the existing R-3 property; that he did not think this type development would be to the mutual interest of all concerned, That in his opinion no circumstances peculiar to the subject property were established, Mayor Balser: That he did not feel a service station would be compatible with the area and that he agreed with the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff. The following roll call was then taken on the motion made and seconded: AYES: Councilmen Butterworth, Camphouse, Reibold, Phillips, Balser NOES: None ABSENT: None Hearing on the application for a business permit by Mrs. Myrtle L.

Councilman Butterworth seconded the motion which was carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: Councilmen Butterworth, Reibold, Phillips, Balser NOES: None NOT VOTING: Councilman Camphouse ABSENT: None Mayor Balser declared the hearing open on the appeal of the Live Oak Medical Building (H. N, and Frances C, Berger, owners) from those portions of Planning Commission Resolution No. 437 whereby a zone variance was granted upon condition that the east 12 feet of Lot 2 be dedicated for the widening of Greenfield Avenue and that the north 25 feet of Lot 2 be dedicated for public alley purposes; said improve- ments to be made prior to or concurrent with any building construction on subject property, and inquired if anyone desired to be heard on the matter. Mr. T. R. Suttner, 50 North First Avenue, Arcadia, an attorney represent- ing the appellants, addressed the Council and explained his clients' purpose in originally requesting the variance and presently appealing certain portions of Planning Commission Resolution No, 437. He displayed a plot plan that had been presented to the Planning Commis- sion in 1955 when the original zone variance was granted as to lot 2 and denied as to lot 3 unless and until an alley 20 feet in width was dedicated across lot 3. That subsequently lot 3 was sold and the present medical building constructed on lot 2. I Mr. Suttner continued, stating in part that in seeking to build an addition his clients were not requesting anything that was not contemplat by the City when the original variance was granted; that the present plan simply doubles the size of the existing building. That he did not think his clients were required legally to apply for a variance for this purpose and that their application had been made without prejudice to their rights. That his clients, who are Pediatricians, do not desire the public driving through their property and that in his opinion the conditions that his clients must give approximately 5000 square feet to the City is unreasonable, unfair and confiscatory. That at the Planning Commission meeting his clients had offered to make the dedication if in the future this property should be used for general C-2 purposes. He then requested the Council to overrule the Planning Commission as to that portion of its recommendation appealed by his clients. 4. 2-6-62 I 1- '67~ I 14:5598 The Planning Director then displayed a map of the subject area and explained in substance that the proposed use of the subject property will cause an increase in vehicular traffic in the immediate vicinity and that the subject conditions will provide additional means of vehicular ingress and egress, or a secondary means of access; that later on in the evening the Council will consider a change of zone for property on the northeast and northwest corners of Louise Avenue where similar conditions are imposed, That there has been an offer of dedication from the service station and restaurant located in the immediate vicinity. No one else in the audience desiring to be heard Councilman Phillips MOVED that the hearing be closed. Councilman Butterworth seconded the motion which was carried unanimously. Councilman Phillips further MOVED that Council approve the recommendation of the Planning Commission as contained in its Resolution No. 437, with the exception of striking therefrom Condition, "a~~ 'of ,Section 4, and _ that Condition "b" be changed to read: "Offer to dedicate 25 feet for public alley purposes subject to the development of the alley to the west." Councilman Camphouse seconded the motion. In response to Councilman Butterworth's request for clarification of the above motion, the City Attorney explained that the motion would require the owners of the subject property to offer to dedicate for alley purposes the northerly 25 feet of said property and to tender a recordable deed for such alley upon the extension of the alley westerly to some inter- connecting street, and concurrent with the filing of an application for a building permit to improve the alley in accordance with City standards, Upon further inquiry by Councilman Butterworth, the City Attorney explained that such an offer of dedication would be recorded, would be binding upon the successors in interest of the present owners, and that compliance with the offer could be compelled by a suit for specific performance when the conditions of the offer have been fulfilled, He suggested that the obtaining of the deed would be simplified if concurrent with the offer of dedication the owners be required to tender a deed of dedication, said deed not to be recorded or accepted until such time as the conditions of tender have been met. After further discussion on the subject, Councilman Butterworth MOVED that the motion made by Councilman Phillips be amended to include the present deposit of a deed as suggested by the City Attorney, Councilman Phillips seconded the motion which was carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: Councilmen Butterworth, Reibo1d, Phillips, Balser NOES: Councilman Camphous e ABSENT: None The following roll call was then taken on the original motion as amended: AYES: Councilmen Butterworth, Camphouse, Reibo1d, Phillips, Balser NOES: None ABSENT: None Lengthy discussion ensued, Councilman Phillips stated that it was not his intention to change sub- section "d" of Section 4; that it was not his intention to relieve the property owner of the cost of the improvement, The City Attorney remarked that subsection "d" requires that the property dedicated for the alley and/or the widening of Greenfield Avenue be improved prior to or concurrent with any building construction on the subject property, which is slightly inconsistent with the motion as amended which requires actual dedication and improvement only if the alley is extended westerly. 5. 2-6-62 .J Y:7& HEARING (Zone Change) J ~~ e7 / ll'lDEXELl 14:5599 Councilman Butterworth requested the City Attorney to recommend the most expeditious manner to accomplish the stated wish of the Council to impose the cost of improving the alley upon the land owner and the City Attorney replied that the most expeditious way is the requirement of the posting of a cash bond; that the second most expeditious way is the recordation of a"covenant running with the land, Councilman Butterworth then ~ that subsection "d" of Section 4 of Planning Commission Resolution No. 437 be stricken and in lieu and in place thereof another condition be inserted to the effect that the variance be conditioned upon the execution by the land owners of a covenant running with the land wherein they agree to improve the cost I of the alley upon the recordation of the deed of dedication. Councilman Phillips seconded the motion. Councilman Camphouse stated in part that the Council has not taken into consideration whether the conditions would be acceptable to the applicant; that if the applicant felt that the conditions imposed as to the dedication of property for alley purpose and widening of Greenfield Avenue were confiscatory, that the further conditions imposed at this time would be adding insult to injury. Councilman Butterworth replied that the Planning Commission resolution adopted initially has condition "d" in it which requires the land owner to improve the alley prior to or concurrent with any building; that the requirement of present improvement has been eliminated as an accommodation to the owner so that he does not have to improve it until certain conditions come into effect at a later time. Upon request of Councilman Reibo1d, Mr. L. Talley, the Planning Secretary, advised that in the case of the Pie King, he thought a covenant agreeing to dedicate and improve was secured and that this is substantially what is desired in this case, The following roll call was taken of the motion made by Councilman Butterworth: AYES: Councilmen Butterworth, Reibo1d, Phillips, Balser NOES: Councilman Camphouse ABSENT: None Mayor Balser declared the hearing open on the application of William H. Rowland, as owner, for a change of zone from R~3 to C-2 and D of certain property located at 2626, 2633, 2634 and 2637 Louise Avenue and 55 and :,67 East Live Oak Avenue (Planning Commission Resolution No. 438 'recommending reclassification, upon certain conditions, of said property), and inquired if anyone in the audience desired to speak in favor of the proposed reclassification. Mr. William H. Rowland, the applicant, residing at 2634 Louise Avenue I (northeast corner of Louise and Live Oak Avenues) addressed the Council and stated in part that the subject property is located in an area now predominately commercial; that the subject lots are an island which cannot be developed until it is known what is going to happen; that a commercial development for said lots will be beneficial to the community and the City, Upon the subject of deed restrictions on the property Mr. Rowland stated in part that deed restrictions were placed on the property when it was a farm area; that in 1948 or 1949 R-3 zoning had been given on a portion of the subject area without request and that he has been paying taxes on R-3 property since that time; that he has been unable to sell his property for residential purposes and that in his opinion a precedent had been established in 1953 when the property on the corner had been rezoned by court action. Councilman Butterworth read subsection "f" of Section 3 of Planning Commission Resolution No. 438 which stated i~ substance that the change 6. 2-6-62 I J'?77 I 14:5600 of zone should not become effective until such time as the deed restrictions have been removed, to which Mr, Rowland commented that he was aware of this subsection and thought it should be stricken, Thereafter Mr, Kendall J, Metcalf, 2633 Louise Avenue, and Mr, Francis Champane, 55 E, Live Oak Avenue also addressed the Council, each stating in substance that they endorsed Mr, Rowland's statements. In answer to Councilman Reibold's question as to the length of time the deed restrictions have to run, Mr. Rowland replied that they run to 1968 and are renewable every ten years thereafter but that he did not think this should have any bearing on the matter inasmuch as there are several commercial establishments presently located on deed restricted property, such as the service station and restaurant on the two northeast corner lots. Discussion then ensued as to methods that may be adopted to lift deed restrictions, such as agreement of owners, court action, etc,; that the deed restrictions on the aforementioned two northeast corner lots were lifted by court action; that if the Council grants the request and makes the subject property commercial, the City will not be assuming any liability. No one else wishing to speak in favor of the requested zone change, Mayor Balser inquired if anyone in the audience desired to speak in opposition thereto, and the following persons addressed the Council and stated in part: Dr, A, J. Andreoli, 2600 Louise Avenue: That there is other available commercial land in the area; that it is strictly a single family residential area; that the fact that the deed restrictions were lifted by Court action as to the two northeast corner lots does not affect the other lots; that applicant's request does not show need; that no concrete plan as to the proposed use has been submitted; that the residential property owners in the area are concerned as to the outcome; and that suggestions should be made as to alternate use of the subject property, He also mentioned that the Planning Director had attended a meeting of the area property owners held at his home at which time plans had been discussed, The Planning Director summarized the subjects that had been discussed at said meeting, and Dr, Andreoli spoke again and reiterated some of the statements he had made earlier. Mr, Frank Ireland, 2627 Louise Avenue: Read a copy of the restrictions on the subject property, which he stated had not been presented to the Planning Commission. He also mentioned that nothing had been said as to the type of business contemplated if the zone change was made; also that an alley in that area would empty upon a traffic laden highway; and that the majority of the residents of the area are agreed that they desire it to remain residential,. Mr. Clarence E. Davis, 2607 Louise Avenue: That the area being presently residential should not be changed without the consent of the majority of the property owners; that he desires his property to remain in Zone R-l. Mr. Wm. A. Barbeau, 46 E. Woodruff Avenue: That perhaps Zone C-O might be the solution; that in his opinion Zone C-l would deteriorate property values, No one else desiring to be heard Councilman Camphouse MOVED that the hearing be closed. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion which was carried unanimously, Discussion ensued. 7, 2-6-62 } c~ - )7 RECESS ZONE VARIANCE (American / Lutheran Church - Duarte Rd,) TRACT NO, 24140 (Revised Tentative Map) / ( - 't~ J J '/- ( INDEXED 14: 5601 It was stated in part that the suggested c-o zone should be considered; that the requested rezoning is premature inasmuch as the question of deed restrictions must first be overcome; that the willingness of the property owners be ascertained to consider a more restrictive zone, possibly a revamping of the zoning on the north side of the two long lots; that the matter then be referred back to the Planning Commission without action in this particular instance., to institute proceedings to implement the plans that the staff might recommend; and that a decision in the pending matter be deferred until a report is received either from the staff or the Planning Commission after further study, It was also stated that it was improbable that the corner lots on Live I Oak Avenue would be used for R-l homes, Also that the two deep lots are now zoned R-3 and are not deed restricted and an apartment house could be built thereon which might bother the R-l residents more than the development of the Live Oak frontages, Councilman Butterworth MOVED that a decision in this matter be deferred and in the interim it be placed on pending agenda; that the matter be referred back to staff with the request that they restudy the matter and in their study that they take into consideration the two deep lots and make recommendations; that they make some effort to see if a working arrangement can be made between the home owners there and the owners of the subject property; that their findings then be referred to the Planning Commission for the Planning Commission's recommendation and ultimate resubmission to the Council, Councilman Camphouse seconded the motion which was carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: Councilmen Butterworth, Camphouse, ,Reibo1d, Phillips, Balser NOES: None ABSENT: None At 10:05 P,M, Mayor Balser declared a recess, The meeting reconvened at 10:10 P.M.

An appeal from said decision of the Planning Commission having been received and said matter requiring a public hearing, Councilman Phillips MOVED that the hearing be scheduled for February 20, 1962. Motion seconded by Councilman Reibo1d and carried unanimously, Located on Sharon Road between El Monte and Holly Avenues and containing 36 lots, (Original tentative map approved September 20, 1960 containing 42 lots). The Planning Director displayed a map of the proposed subdivision and explained that the subdivider had not been able to acquire one parcel at I El Monte Avenue and four near Holly Avenue and the revised plan therefore has some irregular rear lines which were not anticipated in the original ' approval. The City Manager stated that the lack of dedication of half the street on the four lots near Holly Avenue has presented the problem of continuing the curb and gutter on the half street which does not have adequate width for two lanes of traffic, and the Assistant City Engineer displayed a drawing of the proposed solution of the problem worked out by the Engineering Department as to where the half street could be located and the proposed approach. At the suggestion of the City Manager that a sixth condition be added to those set forth in the recommendation of the Planning Commission to insure the recommended performance, Councilman Reibold MOVED that the Council accept the recommendation of the City Manager and the Planning Commission 8. 2-6-62 I COVENANT (Van Lanen) :f So 3 INDEXED ZONE VARIANCE (930-950 West Foothill) I .J $7 Y INDEXED ZONE VARIANCE (Shepherd of the Hills Evangelical Lutheran Church) J ............ :, .I,d tIl11JEXED. 14:5602 and that the revised tentative map of Tract No. 24140 be approved subject to the following conditions: 1, Provide all necessary rear li~e utility easements. 2.

(Commendation) Mrs. Elsie Fuehr, 1001 El Sur Avenue, Arcadia, addressed the Council and reiterated statements made in her communication of January 24, 1962 regarding her appeal to the condition of a lot split granted on her property that she install curb and gutters inasmuch as this would not only work a hardship on her financially but that the rest of the street does not have curb and gutters. At the recommendation of the City Manager, Mayor Balser ordered the matter held over to the next Council meeting in order to give the staff an opportunity to complete a survey of the thinking of the property owners on the street regarding the matter of curbs and gutters on the entire street. MOTION by Councilman Camphouse, seconded by Councilman Reibold and carried unanimously that the Council grant the request of the Arcadia Chapter of the American National Red Cross as contained in their letter of January 22,1962 and authorize them to use 100 lamp pole posters during the month of March, 1962, the Chapter to be responsible for both the placing and the removing of the pole posters.

DOOR TO DOOR SOLICITATION (Butterworth) CIVIL DEFENSE BOARD YC6~,3 INDEXED CROSS WALK (A1ta St. & Santa Anita Avenue) )y, S" p, 14:5611 The City Attorney commented that many of the points touched on by Mr. Colvin have been dealt with in the report to be submitted to the Council and summarized earlier in the evening. That there was a certain consistency in the 'responses received in that, there should not be an arbitrary elimination of the ".h,?bbyist, particularly of birds, and that suggested quantities ranged from 25 from the most conservative of those who wanted to abolish, to as high as 500 from those who wanted to keep them, That it will be a simple matter to add a clause that no more than X number may be kept in addition to ,t~e other regulations that were mentioned. That a~ ordinance will be, submitted to the Council together with the report for Council's consideration in the near future. I " The City Manager advised that a problem 'had arisen regarding the Civic Center air conditioning system in that one of the conditions of the specifications called for a bond for a one year period on the maintenance,' and requested Council's approval to ,substi,tute in lieu of the one year bond a one year parts warranty from the Carrier Air Conditioning Company plus a supplemental certified maintenance contract from the Carrier Air Conditioning Company executed by the Los Angeles and New York offices running to the City of Arcadia and Kissell Refrigeration and also an ,agreement with Mr. Kissell to withhold six months payment on maintenance unless he is able to provide the one year bond prior to the end of the six months period. The City Manager explained that litigation has resulted' from the installation by Kissel of some other type of equipment which was installed apparently according to design, and suit was filed which included the bonding company. That Kisse11~s insurance carrier now has agreed to defend the case for him and he may now be able to get his bond within a short period of time. He added that he and the City Attorney have considered the matter and feel that the City is adequately covered. Whereupon Councilman Camphouse MOVED that Council accept the recommen- dation of the City Manager and authorize Kissell Refrigeration to substitute, in lieu of the one year bond, a one year parts warranty from the Carrier Air Conditioning Company, plus a supplemental certified maintenance contract from the Carrier Air Conditioning Company, executed by the Los Angeles and New York offices, running to the City of Arcadia and Kissell Refrigeration; also that the agreement of Mr. Kissell to withhold six months payment on maintenance be approved unless he is able to provide the one year bond prior to the end of the six months period. Motion seconded by Councilman Phillips and carried unanimously, Councilman Butterworth suggested that Council give some thought to placing the matter of anti-solicitation on the ballot and that perhaps the subject could be discussed at one of the"last Thursday of the month" Council meetings, Upon Councilman Camphouse presenting the name of Mr. J. G. Smaxwell, 2530 South Santa Anita Avenue, for consideration as a member of the Arcadia Civil Defense Board, to replace James ~,CR~~who resigned from said Board, Councilman Reibold ~ that the Council approve the appointment of Mr, J. G" Smaxwell to the Arcadia Civil Defense Board to fill the unexpired term of Mr, James L. Rush, said term to expire June 30, 1965. Councilman Phillips seconded the motion which was carried unanimously, I Councilman Reibold stated that the Assistance League has a clubhouse at 100 South Santa Anita (corner of A1ta and Santa Anita) and host the Golden Age Club which has three meetings a week with an attendance of approximately 100; that they park directly across Santa Anita Avenue in the County parking lot but have difficulty in crossing Santa Anita Avenue. That it was suggested that Council consider a cross walk for their use. 18. 2-6-62 <' 14:5612 . The City Manager stated that he had discussed the matter with the Director of Public Works; that any unmarked intersection is a pedestrian crosswalk in that sense but that marked pedestrian cross- walks have been primarily reserved for intersections where there is traffic signalization or stop signs, or in the middle of an extremely long block, That the problem in the subject matter is that there is approximately 350 feet between A1ta Street and Huntington Drive; that it is the feeling of both the Director of Public, Works' and the Police Chief that in this particular instance it is impractical to install stop signs because of stop signs to the south and Huntington Drive and the installation of pedestrian cross walks where there is no signalization or stop signs tends to give the individual who is cross- ing a false sense of security. I After discussion it was the consensus of the Council that it accept the recommendation of the City 'Manager and that the matter be investigated further by the Director of Public Works and the Chief of Police and report made to the Council at the next Council meeting.
