Planning Commission Resolution No. 444 recommending the granting of
a zone variance to allow a second dwelling at 931 South Eighth Avenue.
the Planning Director displayed and explained a map of the area, which
included the subject property, as well as a plot plan of the proposed
~econd dwelling. He stated in substance that the subject property is
now improved with a single family dwelling built in 1945 and located
approximately 119 feet from the front lot line and contains approxi-
mately 916 square feet. That the property is in Zone R-l, which allows
more than one dwelling under three specified conditions. That the
~ubject lot complies with two conditions in that it contains more than
,he minimum square footage requirement for two houses and that more than
,he minimum requirement of lots on the subject block have more than one
house. That the property does not comply with the requirement of having
peen resubdivided since 1949. That in the opinion of the Planning
Commission the subject property would be denied the right possessed by
the other properties to the south and that said Commission recommends
that the application be approved subject to the conditions set forth in
Planning Commission Resolution No. 444 (Resolution on file in .office of
the City Clerk).
the City Clerk advised that there were no additional communications
having previously submitted to the City Council all pertinent data,
including pictures, which had been made a part of the file.
Mayor Pro Tempore Phillips declared the. hearing open and announced that
the Council would first hear from the appellants:

(Clausen)

STATEMENTS REPORTED HEREIN ARE IN PART ONLY. FULL TAPE.;RECORDING
ON FILE IN OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK.
Mr. Charles Ryan, 719 Encino Drive, addressed the Council and stated in
part that he had attended the Planning Commission meetings; that he has
no objection to the building of an additional house on the subject
property; that it is not a personal matter; that he is only opposed to
the granting of a variance to permit R-l property to be improved with a
second dwelling; that the variance should not be granted, in his opinion,
just because there are second dwellings on adjacent properties.
Mrs. Ruth L. Brockstedt, 926 S. 8th Avenue addressed the Council and
stated in part that she has no animosity toward the applicants, who are 1
her friends and neighbors across the street, but that she feels as does
~rr. Ryan, that a variance should not be granted to erect a second house
on a lot in R-l zone,
Mrs. Dorothy Teague, 1009 S. 8th Avenue addressed the Council and stated
in part that her property is immediately south of the subject property;
that she objects to the granting of the requested zone variance on the
ground that she does not think it will tend to upgrade the area; that
she has two houses on her lot but that it is ISO feet wide and if it were
split it would provide for two full 75 foot lots,
Mr, Peer B. Clausen, 925 So 8th Avenue addressed the Council, stating
in part that he is not opposed to new development on the front of 931
S. 8th Avenue but is opposed to the retention of the existing house on
the rear portion of said property. Mr. Clausen made reference to City
requirements, quoting from a prepared statement (on file in the office
of the City Clerk) specifically referring to those conditions under which
a second dwelling may be constructed. He also quoted from the minutes
of the Planning Commission, setting forth requirements, including the
requirement of square footage, percentage of surrounding property which
must be improved with second dwellings, submission of plans and
specifications to the building department only, which, in his opinion,
grants the property o,;ner the right to rezone his R-l property.
The three conditions reflected in Planning Commission Resolution No. 4/>4
were discussed at length by Mr. Clausen, including the code section which
states that there would be no more than one house on R-l property if not
divided since June 1949; that he feels his property would decrease in
value if this variance were granted; that in his opinion the granting of
this variance would constitute a form of entrapment, giving others rights
and privileges which he did not receive at the time of the improvement of
his property.
Mr, Clausen continued in part, referring to definitions of a "block"; the
existing improvements on adjacent property to 931 S. 8th Avenue; various
portions of the Code; the fact that 8th Avenue residents presently have
only 8th Avenue as a means of ingress and egress; th,' traffic on 8th
Avenue eminating therefrom, etc. 1
Mr. Clausen further stated in part that the proposed new house is to have
four bedrooms, the present house has three, thus accommodating approxi-'
mately 14 persons and an unkno,;n number of cars, and this, he felt, would
not tend to upgrade the area; that he was not seeking any favors from
the Council and it was his hope that none would be granted. That in his
opinion the present zoning ordinances are unrealistic and incompatible
with present conditions; that perhaps remaining vacant properties should
be placed under special commissions for proper development; and that he
was asking the Council not to grant the subject variance request,
No one else desiring to speak in opposition, Mayor Pro Tempore Phillips
stated that the Council would now hear those in favor of the requested
variance.

~lr. S. E. ~lurad, (applicant) addressed the Council, stating in part
that he has improved the existing property since its purchase in 1957;
that he has need for larger quarters for his increased family; that his
property meets all requirements except that it has not been subdivided
since 1949; that a new house on the front of his property will improve
the appearance of the street and will benefit the entire neighborhood;
that he is willing to honor all requirements of the Planning Commission;
that the existing house was built prior to his ownership, Reference was
made to a carport and fence within the measurement of his property.
Mr. Clarence Head, residing at 842 Sunset Blvd., and o,<ner of the property
at 1019 and 1020 S. 8th Avenue, addressed the Council, stating in part
that in his opinion the construction of an additional dwclling on the
subject property would improve it; that the lots being decp, nothing
much can be done with them other than building second dwcllings.
Mrs. Marie Evans, 1000 S. 8th Avenue, addressed the Council, stating in
part that she feels an additional house on the front of applicants'
property will improve the area.
~lrs. S. E. Murad addressed the Council, stating in part that a bathtub
had been installed in the existing house together with other improvements;
that the main objectors to the construction of an additional house are
the adjacent property owners only; that they (the applicants) would be
agreeable to increasing the size of the proposed house to about 1500
square fee t.
To Councilman Reibold's question as to what kind of house the applicants
propose to build, Mr. Murad replied that he proposed building a very
modern house, the roof to be wood shingle.
(Mr. Clausen) No one else desired to speak in favor of the requested zone variance and
with the permission of Mayor Pro Tempore Phillips, Mr.Clausen again
addressed the Council, adding in substance that the two rental houses
he owns are on separate lots, one being in Monrovia and the other abutting
his residence. That at the Planning Commission hearing the 14 signatures
submitted did not favor the variance. That Mr. Mead is an absentee
landlord and not familiar with the situation; that Mrs. Evans has resided
on the street for quite a while and that it is now time, in his op1n10n,
to bring the City's regulations regarding vacant property up to date.

TRACT
NO. 27240
(Final)
j~C1 jJ
[NDEXED
In answer to Councilman Reibold's comment that the Council is concerned
about Mr. Clausen's statement regarding traffic generated on 8th Avenue,
and whether Mr. Clausen thought the ordinance should be changed to
preclude any property owner on 8th Avenue having the right to build a
second house, Mr. Clausen stated in part that he thought the ordinance
as now written is not compatible with present day conditions.
There being no further discussion Councilman Balser MOVED that the
hearing be closed. Councilman Turner seconded the motion which was
carried unanimously.
Matter to be placed on agenda for June 6, 1962 Council meeting to afford
Mayor Butterworth an opportunity to study the evidence presented and to
review the matter,
The Planning Director displayed a final map of Tract No. 27240 located
north of Woodruff Avenue and West of Santa Anita Avenue, c6~taining
11 lots. He advised that on March 6, 1962 the Council approved the
tent~tive map which showed the street as 50 feet wide, as it was felt
that by permitting the 50 foot street more rear yard would be available.
That there is excess land to be disposed of along each side of the
street for the first 124 foot depth from Woodruff Avenue which would
provide for a 60 foot street at this location if desired, and that the
3.

easement along each side of the balance of the street; that except
for these additional dedications, the final map conforms substantially
with the approved tentative map and is recommended for approval, subject
to the following conditions:
I. Remove all buildings within the tract, or relocate those meeting
the building code to conform with yard requirements of the new
lots.
2. Remove all trees from the street right of way.

8. A covenant in the form approved by the City Attorney shall be
recorded agreeing that for the purpose of Article IX of the
Arcadia Municipal Code the exterior boundary of said tract
shall constitute the rear lot line of lots three (3) through

The Council was also apprised of the fact that the tract map does
not reflect easements for telephone and utility purposes, which must
be installed in order to service the subdivision but that the
signatures of such public utilities are not required on the tract map.
Mr. Alfred Allen, subdivider, spoke to chis matter,

Councilman Balser MOVED that the Council approve the recommendation of

Discussion was held on the explanation of the City Manager that a
stream crossing in Wilderness Park must be immediately constructed
because the former bridge had to be removed due to its dangerous
condition as a result of flood damage; that lack of a crossing over
which equipment can travel is causing the deterioration of City property,
and that it is necessary to provide such crossing for fire fighting
equipment due to the fire hazard existing in the area; that the
estimated cost for the completion of this project would be a total of
$6,500.00 which includes $3000.00 for materials, $1500.00 for rental
of equipment and $2000.00 for labor by City forces. That because the
park must be opened by June 18, 1962 if the recreation program is to
be carried out, it was deemed necessary to order the pipe and commence
the necessary excavation for the project.
Councilman Balser MOVED that the Council accept the recommendation of
the City Manager and, pursuant to Section 1109 of the City Charter,
authorize the waiving of advertising for bids for the construction of a
stream crossing at Wilderness Park, due to its urgent necessity for the
preservation of property; that the Director of Public Works immediately
proceed with the construction of the stream crossing with City employees
and that the sum of $6500.00 be appropriated and transferred from
Reserve for Capital Projects Account No. 285 in the General Fund to
Capital Improvement Project No, 617 Wilderness Park Stream Crossing.

$1000 for an amateur radio antenna in order to continue his hobby.
Mrs. Clarkson, owner of 9891 Wendon Avenue, also addressed the Council
and indicated her desire to become annexed to Temple City.

Subsequent to the City Manager advising that Ordinance No, 1177, prepared
by the City Attorney, proposes to amend the water section of the Arcadia
Municipal Code, the reasons beine:
Section 2920: The present section does not now provide for the creation
of a Water Department nor does it designate the head of
such a department. All other departments have such
provisions.
Section 7524: This section now provides for deposits on services to
single family domestic meters, The proposed change
places other services in the same category now
applicable to single family units. Section 7524.2
provides for waiving the deposit when the account is
in the name of the property ownero New provisions of
Section 7524 would permit the requirement of a deposit
where the owner was unusually negligent in payment of
bills,
Section 7532.1: Permits other authorized charges to become a part of
the water bill and makes such unpaid charges delinquent
and subject to the same conditions of a delinquent water
bill.
Section 7540.12: Includes boxes in defining ownership since they are
not now included.
The City Attorney thereupon presented for the first time, explained the
content and read the title of Ordinance No. 1177, entitled: AN ORDINANCE

The City Manager commented that there is one error in the above
preliminary budget in that it mentions the continuation of the $1.10
City tax rate for the eighth consecutive year; that this should be the
tenth consecutive year that it has been the same. He continued, that
if nothing unforeseen occurs prior to the setting of the tax rate for
the fiscal year 1962-63, it will, in his opinion, be possible to make a
five cent reduction in taxes for this period.
It was stated that dates for the Council to meet and discuss the above
budget would be arranged upon Mayor Butterworth's return to the City.

The City Manager advised that pursuant to the Master Agreement for

Mayor Pro Tempore Phillips brought up for discussion the reinstitution
of annexation proceedings for McBean Street, the area being desirable
due to its proximity to City property on Peck Road,
During the ensuing discussion it was stated in part that prior
annexation proceedings had been dropped because the property owners
were not in complete accord with the City. It was suggested that the
City Manager approach said owners in order to secure their present
reactions. The City Manager commented that development is now beginning
in the vicinity already within the City.
After further discussion, Councilman Balser MOVED that the City Manager
contact the property owners on McBean Street to ascertain their present
attitude toward annexing to Arcadia. Councilman Reibold seconded the
motion which was carried unanimously,
Mayor Pro Tempore Phillips invited the Councilmen and/or the City
