The Invocation was offered by Councilman Balser. Mayor Butterworth led in the pledge of allegiance to the flag. Councilman Phillips presented to Councilman Balser a plaque bearing the City's appreciation for his gracious representation of the City as Mayor of Arcadia from April of 1961 to April of 1962, and Councilman Balser accepted the plaque, stating that his tenure as Mayor was a "Golden Chapter" in his life. PRESENT : ABSENT : Councilmen Balser, Phillips, Reibold, Turner, Butterworth None MOTION by Councilman Reibold that the minutes of the Regular Meeting of May IS, 1962 be approved as submitted in writing. Councilman Phillips seconded the motion which was carried unanimously, with the exception of Mayor Butterworth, who abstained due to his absence from said meeting. Mayor Butterworth called for Councilmanic discussion and determination on the continued matter pertaining to Planning Commission Resolution No. 444 recommending the granting of a zone variance to allow a second dwelling at 931 South Eighth Avenue, the hearing having been closed at the Regular Council meeting of May 15,1962, at which time testimony had been submitted by the applicant and adjacent property owners both in favor of and opposed to the requested zone variance. The individual Councilmen expressed their observations and opinions in part as follows: Councilman Turner: That he did not believe there had been a showing of good faith on the part of the applicants, in that they had indicated in their appearance before the Council on May 15,1962, that the need for the variance was to allow them to build another house on the subject property to permit them to take care of their growing family; that he questioned this statement inasmuch as the subject property is in the hands of a real estate broker for sale; that although he did not know whether this was valid cause for denying the requested variance, it should be considered by the Council. Mayor Butterworth interpolated that a communication dated May 21, 1962 had been received from the Director of Public Works and the Superin- tendent of Building and Safety on the subject matter; that if the Council wishes, in the event the application for a zone variance is approved, it could either approve it outright or condition it upon the suggestions in said letter. Upon the suggestion of the City Attorney, Mayor Butterworth also stated for the record that although he had not been present at the hearing on the matter held before the Council on May 15,1962, he was familiar with the details of the evidence; that he had reviewed the contents of the tape of the proceedings as well as the minutes of the Council meeting of May 15,1962, and the various communications addressed to the Council. 1. 6-6-62 HEARING (0' Callaghan) rt ,/r ~ 'It . ,. lNDEXED 14:5694 Councilman Phillips: That one of the reasons the subject matter had been'continued was to enable the Councilmen to view the subject property; that he had done so on June 3,1962 and that in his opinion the owner of the subject property has not made a concerted effort to keep the property up, such as watering the grass, mowing the lawn, keeping the brush down, etc. He also pointed out that he has continually been opposed to a second house on a lot; that he had favored Ordinance No. 990 without any alterations when it was adopted several years ago and that this was still his position insofar as the subject appli- cation is concernedG Councilman Balser: That he also had viewed the subject property and the surrounding a~ea and had noted that the adjacent area is on . the upgrade. That the house presently on the subject property is quite small and that the front of the property is not well maintaine That he did not feel that the granting of the requested variance for a second house would tend to upgrade the area. Councilman Balser thereupon MOVED that the recommendation of the Planning Commission, embodied in its Resolution No. 444 be dis- approved, and the petition of Saeed E. and Gloria H. B. Murad for a zone variance for the purpose of and affecting the property there- in described be DENIED. Councilman Turner seconded the motion. Further discussion ensued. Councilman Reibo1d stated in substance that in his opinion the basic issue of the subject matter is not the purpose for which the applicants desire the variance, but whether an applicant for a zone variance on a lot ,located on a block that has other lots containing two or more houses is entitled to have his request approved. That it was not necessary for the subject applicants 'to give specific reasons for desiring the variance; that on the same street there have been two variances granted based on the fact that the owners desired to sell their property; that the reason is not material. That at the subject hearing there were property owners in the area who favored the granting of the requested variance as well as those who opposed it, and that in his opinion the Council' has been brought into a situation which is merely a disagreement between neighbors. That a disapproval of this request might set a precedent which could prove embarrassing in the future. Mayor Butterworth stated in part that in reviewing the minutes of the Planning Commission he had noted that Planning Commission Chair- man Go1isch had made observations somewhat along the lines of Councilman Balser. That he had viewed the property and area and felt that Eighth Avenue is making strenuous efforts to upgrade it- self. That he did not believe the approval of the requested variance would be in the best interest of the area or the City. The following roll call was ,then taken of the motion to disapprove the recommendation of the Planning Commission: 1 AYES: Councilmen Balser, Phillips, Turner, Butterworth NOES: Councilman Reibold ABSENT: None Mayor Butterworth declared the hearing open on the request of Hannah and Thomas T. O'Callaghan for a business permit to operate a day-care boarding home for four children over two years of age, at their home at 702 E. Camino Real, Arcadia, five days per week from 6:00 A.M, to 12:00 midnight, and inquired if anyone in the audience desired to address the Council in favor of the requested permit. 2. 6-6-62 1 1 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 446 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 447 14:5695 Mrs. O/Ca11aghan add~essed the Council and stated in part that she desi~ed the permit because she desired to care for other children and also that the added income would be helpful. To Mayor Butterworth's query as to whether she was aware of the conditions that have been recommended in the event the permit is granted, Mrs. O'Ca11aghan stated that she was aware of such conditions and ,that they were ag~eeable. No one else desiring to be heard Councilman Reibo1d ~ that the hearing be closed. Councilman Balser seconded the motion which was carried unanimously. Councilman Reibo1d further MOVED that the Council authorize the granting of a"business permit to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas T. O'Ca11aghan to operate a day-care boarding home for four children over two years of age, at 702 E. Camino Real, Arcadia, five days per week, 6:00 A.M. to 12:00 midnight, such permit to be based upon the following conditions: 1. Number of children to be cared for be limited to four. 2. No play apparatus shall be established in the front yard area. 3. All play or other outdoor activity on the property shall be restricted to the backyard area and/or back of the front building line. 4. No outdoor activities shall be permitted before 8:00 A.M. or after 8:00 P.M. of any day. Councilman Balser stated that he has never favored chi1drens' nurseries in residential areas; that such an enterprise is not compatible with residential neighborhoods and should be in business areas inasmuch as it is a business. Councilman Reibo1d pointed out that there is on file in this matter a petition with 13 signatures of adjacent property owners favoring the applicants obtaining a business permit for the care of children in their home during the day. It was also brought out that although the license is renewable auto- matically each year if there is a material change of circumstances it would be in orde~ for the applicants to show cause why the permit should not be terminated prior to the renewal period. The following roll call was taken of the above motion: AYES: Councilmen Phillips, Reibold, Turner, Butterworth NOES: Councilman Balser ABSENT: None Planning Commission Resolution No. 446 requ~r~ng two parking spaces for each apartment unit, Said matter requiring a public hearing Councilman Reibo1d MOVED that the hearing be scheduled for June 19, 1962.

An appeal from said decision having been duly filed and said matter requiring a public hearing Councilman Reibold ~ that the hearing be scheduled for June 19, 1962. Councilman Turner seconded the motion which was carried unanimously, 3. 6-6-62 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 448 FORMER LIBRARY SITE - INTERIM REPORT J 103 INDEXED 14:5696 Planning Commission Resolution No. 448 recommending denial of application for change of zone from R-3 to C-2 at 745-805 West Duarte Road. An appeal from said decision of the Planning Commission having been duly filed by applicants and said matter requiring a public hearing, Council- man Reibo1d MOVED that the hearing be scheduled for July 3, 1962. Motion seconded by Councilman Turner and carried unanimously. To Councilman Phillips' question of the Planning Di~ector as to how much property has already been developed in Zone R-3, he replied that he thought app~oximate1y 50% of such property and 50% ~emains still to be developed; that information on this matter has been compiled and will bel presented to the, Council at the next Council meeting. Councilman Phillips (member of Council Committee to meet with staff and othe~s to consider proposals received by the City for use of former library site) reported in part as follows: (Detailed report on file in office of the City Clerk) American Friends Service Committee - Society of Friends (Quaker). Propose to conve~t existing building into offices for their staff of about 25-30 people. Offer to purchase $75,000.00 cash. Conclusion and Recommendation: Occupation by tax exempt institution would not produce the stimulus in the a~ea desired by the Council and recommended offe~ of purchase be rejected. Templekadian Incorporated - Arcadia Lodge No. 2025 of the B.P.O.E. (Elks). Propose to develop site for lodge use, including family restau~ant open to public and other facilities necessary to modernize present structure. Propose at some future date, if financial condition permits, to construct store buildings in front of existing building fronting on First Avenue. Offer to purchase $80,000.00. Conclusion and Recommendation: Possibility of substantial development on present Elks Lodge property (they have offer for its purchase) which would be stimulus to area north of Huntington Drive and west of Santa Anita Avenue in which the City has deep interest. City should make every effort to encourage development of present Elks' p~operty and has considered another location for Elks Lodge and feels former library site not a good location for Elks Lodge nor will its occupancy of the old building accomplish the results desired. Recommended that offer be rejected and Committee instructed to continue negotiations with representatives as soon as possible to attempt solution so that their present location can be made available for development. Beach. F1aaten Realtors (for Mr. William Katz of Los Angeles) Propose to use existing library building for general office space after being redecorated and remodeled or to demolish existing building and construct a multi-level office building, or to exercise one or the othel but possibly setting up a retail operation if this appears more profit- able in the long run. Offer to purchase $75,000.00. Conclusion and Recommendation: This proposal would leave City with little control of the property in the future; there would be a long waiting pe~iod before the construction of a multi-story building on the site if substantial sums are expended fo~ redecorating and remodel- ing. Recommended that offer be rejected and deposit check returned. After brief general discussion, Councilman Balser MOVED that the Council accept the progress report as submitted and that the offers indicated therein be rejected. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion, and at Mayo~ Butterworth expressing the appreciation of the Council for the repo~t, the motion was carried unanimously. 4. 6-6-62 I I COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS /vsp TRACT NO. 27037 (Final) 1- ~ ~1 lNDEXED BID AWARD ---;f -1 & I INDEXED 14:5697 Councilman Tu~ner then MOVED that inasmuch as it is possible that the Council will accept an offer for the purchase of the former library site by the next Council meeting, that the City Manager be authorized to open an escrow at this time and order through said escrow for Council's use copies of a preliminary title report in order to expedite the closing of the matter at the time Council makes its determination.

Bell Aircraft Utility Helicopters, Inc. Mercury Helicopter Service Mr. William Pascoe, Pomona National Helicopter Company He continued, that he felt some measure of service could be rendered Arcadia citizens and businessmen by such establishment and suggested as a temporary location the vacant City owned land north of City Hall. That such facility could be installed for less than $3000. That the City had permitted the landing of helicopters on said land during the racing season (approximately four such landings made) and that presently Council's consent is requested for said land to be used for the time being for such purpose, but that specific plans, specifications and cost estimate would be submitted to the Council. Gene~al discussion ensued. Councilman Reibold stated in part that he favored a heliport in Arcadia because of the service it could render Arcadia businessmen; that the cost is small and there are some higher value usages in the offing for the property but that this would b~ a start in the right direction. Councilman Turner stated in part that he felt the utilization of a portion of the subject property might hamper its potential utilization value in an overall development; that it might be difficult to remove the proposed usage after its establishment. That if it is of sufficient business potential, private ente~prise will provide its own money and improvement. He also mentioned the fact that in one of the proposals received for the use of the forme~ library site it was contemplated that a heliport landing would be built on the roof of the proposed building and that this usage might still be put into effect; that private enterprise development in this respect would prove more advantageous to the City. I Councilman Phillips advised in part that he had spoken with Mr. Bruce McNeil, the owner of Helicabs, Inc., who offered the services of his engineer to the City Manager with respect to design, etc. Also that Mr. McNeil had mentioned that if the City did proceed it would be the only heliport in the area that would take more than one heliport company and that a landing pattern should be spelled out; that the proposed site has the advantage of planes coming in over the parking lot without the necessity of coming in over the tops of buildings and residences; also that he had cautioned that haste be made slowly. Councilman Balser stated in part that he did not feel the proposed 6. 6-6-62 I I LEASE ON P. E. PROPERTY 5(/1& lNDEXED 14:5699 location was good due to its proximity to the hospital and a hotel and that he agreed with Councilman Turner that it should be a matter for private enterprise. The City Manager commented that if the landing is established it could grow to such proportion as to provide a worthwhile service to the City and thereafter a permanent location could be determined. That it'was his thought that at the present time the amount of money involved would make it unwise for the City to accept funds for the development as the City would then be under obligation to continue its use at this location or provide another location. That the main objective is to provide a service and eventually prove its need so that private industry could take over at perhaps a different location. Councilman Reibo1d then MOVED that the Council approve the recommen- dation of the City Manager and authorize him to proceed with plans and specifications and cost estimate; that in the interim the Council discuss the matter wt'th Arcadians interested in the proposed project. Councilman Phillips seconded the motion. Further discussion ensued. Mayor Butterworth observed in substance that the Council would encourage private enterprise undertaking the project and that no doubt it will after it progresses but that a start has to be made. He mentioned that the Los Angeles International Airport is a municipal enterprise almost in its entirety, that harbors are built with public funds and that he did not think the small expenditure anticipated in this case will amount to an invasion of private enterprise. That he questioned the location because of its proximity to the hospital and hotel but that presently he could not think of a better location. A suggestion of using the race track as a location was made and it was stated that it could not be used during the racing season, nor would the City have sufficient control in that respect. The following roll call was then taken of the above motion: AYES: Councilmen Phillips, Reibold, Butterworth NOES: Councilmen Balser, Turner ABSENT: None ,The City Manager advised that the Arcadia Lumber Company has a lease on the property purchased by the City from the Pacific Electric Railway Company which expires on December 31, 1962 unless cancelled by mutual consent. That the Beckstroms have expressed willingness to cancel said lease effective May 31, 1962 and that it is his recommendation that the Council approve a mutual cancellation of the lease on the property. MOTION by Councilman Phillips, seconded by Councilman Reibo1d and carried unanimously that the Council accept the recommendation of the City Manager and approve a mutual cancellation of the lease of the Arcadia Lumber Company on certain property purchased by the City from the Pacific Electric Railway Company and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute said mutual cancellation of lease on behalf of the City. The City Attorney advised that he had that day received a communi- cation from the Pacific Electric Company concerning other leases and assignments also on the same property and that he would suggest that the City Manager be authorized to execute the assumption of the "Allen" lease and a second "Beckstrom" lease on portions of Pacific Electric property and to execute mutual cancellation: of same. 7. 6-6-62 PACIFIC ELECTRIC PROPERTY DEED RESTRICTIONS NORTH SANTA ANITA AVENUE PETITION 5"~ lNDEXED LIBRARY (Children's and Young People's Room) 1- Lf7.;v Cf1WEXED 14:5700 Whereupon Councilman Reibold ~ that the Council accept the recommendation of the City Attorney and authorize the City Manager to execute the assumption of the ltAllenll lease and a second "Beckstrom" lease on portions of Pacific Electric property and to execute a mutual cancellation of the same, Councilman Balser seconded the motion which was carried unanimously.

(b) The Library Committee shall determine what furnish- ings shall be included in the "Works" which would be subject to architect's fees. Discussion ensued, and at Councilman Turner's questioning of certain payment to the architect, inasmuch as decisions as to furnishings would be made by the Library Committee, Mayor Butterworth suggested that both the Library Committee and the architect submit reports as to their individual participation. Mayor Butterworth also suggested that the Chairman of the Library Board be requested to select two members of said Board to work with the Council Committee and the City Clerk was instructed to so inform the Library Board Chairman.
