Motion by Councilman Phillips, seconded by Councilman Jacobi and carried
on roll call vote as follows that Council accept the recommendation of the
Planning Commission and indicate its intention to approve Lot Split No. 280,
D. C. Wheeler, 228 East Sycamore Avenue, upon compliance with the condition
that applicant ~ile a final map with the City Engineer:
AYES: Councilmen Balser, Camphouse, Jacobi, Phillips, Reibold

ABSENT: None
Planning Commission Resolution No. 358 recommending the granting of the
application of the Roman Catholic Archbishop o~ Los Angeles for' a variance
to allow the property at 910 and 924 Holly Avenue to be used for parochial
school playground and for church parking.
Mr. W. J. Schmidt addressed the 'Council, stating that he represented the
applicant and would answer any questions that Council desired to ask but
that he felt the recommendation of the Planning Commission covered the
situation in its entirety; that they found the use of the property would
not be deleterious to the surrounding properties and made their recommen-
dation without qualification other than that an existing building be used
as a library for adults rather than a clubhouse for youth groups, as
'.. originally set forth, and that such modification had been accepted by the
, ,applicant.
In the general discussion that ensued Mayor Reibold stated that he was of
the' impression that negotiations were in progress between a subdivider of
certain property to the south regarding a possible exchange of some
property. Mr. Schmidt replied that this was so ~ut that he did not feel
that action on the part of the Council should be delayed until such
negotiations were resolved since they related to the possible extension
and opening of Fairview Avenue, for which at the present time there are
no definite plans and thus were not directly related. To Councilman
Phillips' inquiry as to whether a two weeks further try at resolving such
negotiations would be out of order Mr. Schmidt reiterated that the pending
negotiations would not be affected by the requested variance; that eventually
if the negotiations were successful a plan could be proposed and acted upon
at which time the church property could be dedicated or sold.
Councilman Balser commented that he had attended the Planning Commission
hearings on this matter and that there were objections to the proposed
variance from residents to the south of applicant; that the Planning Com-
mission is and has been for many years very interested in bringing
Fairview Avenue through to Holly Avenue and that during these hearings
definite strides had been made to resolve the proposed subdivision by an
exchange of land. That the Planning Commission had reached the limit of
allowable time on the application to make their recommendation to the Council,
but that they were in favor of further negotiations being conducted between
the parties in an effort to extend Fairview Avenue to Holly Avenue. That
this would then become a buffer zone, upon which the residents in the area
looked with favor.
The City Attorney explained that the Planning Commission recommended the
granting of the variance but likewise recommended that Council give full
consideration to the problem of extending Fairview Avenue westerly to
Holly Avenue as it may concern this same property. That the matters are
related inasmuch as there had been filed a tentative subdivision map
involving the property south and east o~ applicant's property and that
said tentative map was disapproved by both the Planning Commission and
the Council because Fairview Avenue as presently constructed exceeds the
length now permitted by ordinance for a cuI de sac street. That the
Planning Commission had closed their hearing and then debated the situation
and adopted their resolution on the 45th day after the hearing was closed,
which was the last day they could adopt a resolution and send it to the
Council; otherwise it would have had to come to the Council without
recommendation, and they felt that Council should have the benefit of
their thinking at least up to that point.

Mayor Reibold commented'that in his opinion the problem in this
situation is the possible extension and opening of Fairview Avenue; that
this is good planning but that he personally did not feel it should open
on Holly Avenue, which is already a heavily trafficked street, and also
that he did not feel a 500 foot limitation on a cul ' de sac street is a
realistic answer to today's dense traffic problem.
Councilman Phillips then stated that although he agreed with Mayor Reibold,
the ordinance on cul de sac streets is presently in effect; that it might
be well to review said ordinance but that since' there is a' possibility of
extending and opening Fairview Avenue in the near future, and that he
could see no harm in delaying this matter for another two weeks, that he
moved that this matter be held over to the next Council meeting on March
1, 1960. Councilman Jacobi seconded the motion and it was carried
unanimously.

Mayor Reibold declared that since no action can be taken until time for
appeal elapses (February 19, 1960) the zone variance request of Russell
Uhl'to allow a miniature golf course at 131-137 East Live-Oak Avenue
(Planning Commission Resolution No. 360) will be held over until the
appeal period has passed.

Councilman Balser stated that with regard to the communication dated
February 8, 1960 from Rev. Wm. H. Clayton, Pastor of the Community
Foursquare Church, 9556 Duarte Road, requesting permission to use city
owned property located on' Duarte Road west of Santa Anita Avenue
(site of the new City Library) for the purpose of erecting a tent for a
series of meetings beginning February 28 through'March 13, 1960, said,"
tent to seat 250 people, that he moved that Council deny such request
inasmuch as the City is presently in the process of getting ready to
formalize bids for the constr~ction of the new City Library on said site
and it would work a hardship on the City not to have the site available if
and when necessary. He' added that said Church has a building located wit!
in the city limits of Arcadia. Councilman camphouse seconded the motion.'
I
Rev. Clayton, being present in the :audience, addressed the Council, statil
in part that the time element involved in his request would probably not
interfere with any plans of the City, and that the hours-of the meetings
would be from approximately 7:30 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. He continued that
their church building is not large enough to accommodate the expected
attendance; also that the requested site had been selected because it was
ideally located.
A general discussion ensued and it was the consensus of the Council that
plans for the new library building being presently in plan-check, that
there is no way of knowing whether the requested dates would or would not
conflict with the plans of the library architect.
Mayor Reibold then called for a roll call on the motion and second, which
was carried as follows:

To Rev. Clayton's request of the Council as to the exact reason for the
denial of his request, to enable him to report to his Board of Directors,
he was advised that factors other than the aforementioned hardship and
inconvenience that might be caused in the pending library construction '
are involved; that Council was not opposed to church gatherings per se;
that being City property places it in a different category than privately
owned property in a properly zoned area and that other requests for
various uses of said city-owned property had been denied.
Motion by Councilman Phillips, seconded by Councilman Jacobi and carried
on roll call vote as follows that Council approve the following appli-
cations for renewal of business license permits, and that the provisions
of Section 18 of Ordinance No. 737, applicable to previously licensed
businesses, be waived:

Upon the City Manager advising that two Personnel Board recommendations
had been submitted to him that day for presentation to the Council, one
regarding the employment of an Assistant Water Superintendent and the
other for the establishment of the classification of Assistant Chief of
Police, Mayor Reibold suggested that these matters be held over until the
proposed adjourned Council meeting the following week.
Councilman Camphouse inquired if the Staff had been able to uncover any
information regarding the discussion had at the time final action was
taken on Parking District No. 2 with regard to those persons who paid
the parking assessment being permitted to take this as a deduction on
their taxes as an additional benefit. He added that he had been contacted
on this matter. The City Attorney replied that his office had also been
contacted and the only information he was able to offer was a citation
he found on a similar situation in a northeastern district, ,and that
said citation is available in his office.
Councilman Balser remarked that at the time the Santa Anita Wash was
being constructed the question arose as to whether a bridge should be
built across Sycamore Avenue; that it was determined at that time that
there was. no immediate need for a bridge but that at such time as the
Oberly property was sold for either a school or a subdivision it would
then be necessary to erect a bridge for ingress and egress; that since-
a savings would be effected in the future if the bridge abutments were
erected at the time the wash was constructed, this was done.
I
Councilman Balser continued that it has now been established that a
Junior High School will be built on the said Oberly property; that
requests have been received from the School Board for the erection of a
bridge at Sycamore Avenue for ingress and egress and to expedite the
construction of the school, and that he moved that the Staff prepare plans
and specifications for the completion of a bridge at Sycamore Avenue
across Santa Anita Wash for submission to the Council, at which time bids
will be called in accordance therewith.
Councilman Phillips stated that in seconding the motion he wished to
add that he also had received requests from the School Board that Council

The City Manager commented that this bridge construction was included in
the capital improvement program submitted in 1958 but there was no time
scheduled; that at that time the estimate of cost was $21,000.00 but that
a revision of those costs now will probably be higher. '
The above motion was then carried on roll call vote as follows:
