HEARING
(Zone
Change)
Mayor Reibo1d declared the hearing open on the application of Mrs.
Charles Crowley, doing business as Crowley Brothers, 2508 North Angeles
Avenue, San Gabriel, for a business permit to allow rubbish pickup from
unfinished dwellings at the request of the contractors or builders
(business and residential areas), and inquired if anyone desired to speak
in opposition to the granting of the application. No one desired to speak
in opposition. He then inquired if anyone desired to speak in favor of
the granting of the application.
Mrs. Charles Crowley, the applicant, addressed the Council, stating in
substance that it was the intention of her company to pick up and haul
away all debris left by builders in the construction of new dwellings.
I
A general discussion ensued. Councilman Phillips inquired if the City's
regulations distinguish between new dwellings and other dwellings. The
City Manager replied that it was his understanding that an unfinished
residential dwelling is considered a commercial building until it is
finished, and the City Attorney added that the contractor has the authority
to haul away his own debris; that building done by a contractor is a
commercial venture while in the process of construction; that the City
has not granted an exclusive refuse contract to anyone except for the
regularly scheduled pickup of refuse in residential areas; and that Council
is not barred from granting a permit of this type.
In answer to Mayor Reibo1d's question as to whether the applicant
proposes to haul debris only or to clean up the premises and haul away
the debris, applicant advised that her company proposes to do both.
Councilman Camphouse stated that in his opinion the type of function
proposed by applicant is different than specified in the application;
that cleaning up premises and hauling away debris would come under the
category provided by the City for gardeners and the like, and that the
application should be revised.
Upon the applicant advising that her company hauls rubbish from industrial
construction in Pasadena but proposes to haul debris only from residential
construction in Arcadia, Mayor Reibo1d commented that he did not think
the appropriate type of permit is being applied for in this instance and
Councilman Camphouse felt that the applicant would be better served if the
application was held pending clarification with the Business License
Division.
The City Attorney stated that some refinements have been made in past
permits; that the City's ordinance contains a specific provision exempting
from the permit sections landscape gardeners and the like so that they do
not require a permit but only a business license and that it is probable
in the present case that the problem presented is caused by the nature of
the work the applicant does in other areas coupled with the generali-
zations set forth in the application; and that he suggested that the matter
be continued and the application referred to staff for report and recom-
mendation back to the Council. I
Whereupon:Counci1man Camphouse moved that the hearing be continued and th
matter referred to staff for report and recommendation to Council.
Councilman Balser seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously.
Mayor Reibo1d declared the hearing open on Planning Commission Resolution
Nos. 362 and 364 recommending classification and reclassification of
territory designated as West Arcadia Annexation No. 14 and Annexation
No. 17-A Southwest Arcadia Inhabited.
The Director of Public Works displayed a map of the area in question and
pointed out the properties involved.
The City Clerk read in full a communication dated April 2, 1960 from
Freeman E. Gates, 755 West Naomi Avenue, which stated in substance that a

petition had been signed by the property owners in his vicinity requesting
C-3 zoning.
Mayor Reibo1d then inquired if anyone in the audience desired to speak in
opposition to the recommendations of the Planning Commission.
The following persons addressed the Council, stating in part that they
did not wish C-3 zoning; that one story apartment houses would be
preferred; that the area remain R-1 and that R-2 was desirable:
C'. E. Kling, 744 West Naomi Avenue
Mrs. Ella R. Mi1fert, 721 West Ca11ita Ave.
Frank T. Ke11y~ 725 Ca11ita Ave.
Dexter Jones, attorney, representing his client Orlando C1arizio
Charles R. Fields, 717 West Ca11ita Ave.
Mrs. Wm. Bewick, 724 West Call ita Ave.
To Mayor Reibo1d's inquiry as to whether anyone in the audience desired
to' speak in favor of the recommendations of the Planning Commission the
following persons addressed the Council, stating in part that they favored
continuation of C-2 zoning, which was the zoning of the property when it
was annexed to Arcadia; that a definite decision should be promptly made;
and that a buffer ZOne is unnecessary:
J. W. Bernard, 1505-1529 South Baldwin
Wm. Jo Rowan, 1018 West Duarte Road ./
Les Beauchamp, 870 West Duarte Road
Vincent Agostino, 860 West Duarte Road
Oscar P. Sohnius, 834 West Duarte Road
To Mr. Kelly's inquiry as to why a buffer zone is necessary, that Camino
Real Avenue is a buffer zone, the Director of Public Works invited Mr.
Kelly to his office to discuss the matter.
No one else desiring to speak Councilman Phillips moved that the hearing
be closed. Councilman Jacobi seconded the motion and it was carried
unanimously.
Councilman Phillips further moved that since there are three resolutions
involved in the matter that the Council would be well advised to look at
some of the property discussed at this hearing, and that the matter be
taken under advisement. Councilman Jacobi seconded the motion and it was
carried unanimously.

With regard to Resolution No. 3233 regarding the classification of a
trampoline center as a special use, Councilman Camphouse stated that
prior to its presentation he would suggest further investigation, as
he had read and heard about problems arising regarding these centers;
that in the City of Los Angeles the matter had been referred to their
Health and Accident Department.
In answer to Mayor Reibo1d's query as to whether it is mandatory that a
trampoline center be considered a business and given a special use, the
City Attorney stated that trampoline centers are presently being
constructed in various parts of the country as business ventures as

distinguished from the isolated trampoline such as in a YMCA; that they
are conducted for profit and that a person is entitled to have the use
classified but not before Council has had time to give due consideration
to this matter. He added that this is the type of matter that might
properly be referred to the Health and Sanitation Commission for consider-
ation and recommendation.
Councilman Camphouse reiterated that he would prefer this matter being
held up, at least until a companion ordinance to the resolution could be
prepared, setting forth all the proper safeguards and then adopted at the
same time; that although he did not wish to bypass the Health an~ .
Sanitation Commission, he felt said Commission did not embody the same
ramifications as the Los Angeles Health and Accident Department.
Councilman Balser commented that since the Planning Commission had
inspected many trampoline centers and had given their opinion to the
effect that~they were unsafe and undesirable, that further investigation
by the Council would be a duplication of effort.
After further discussion, it being the consensus of the Council that the
matter be considered further before definite action, Mayor Reibo1d
ordered the matter referred to staff.

met.
No. 288 - Ray DuShane, 42 West Grandview Ave.
No. 289 - Ethel Zeigler, 34 W. Grandview Ave.
Recommendation of Planning Commission for approval, subject to following
conditions; also that these splits are side by side and each requires
dedication and street improvement for the extension of E1 Vista Circle;
that neither request be approved unless both are approved;
File a final map for each lot split with the City Engineer.
Provide a sewer lateral for each lot split.
Dedicate 5 feet for widening of Grandview Avenue along each lot.
Dedicate a standard 40 foot radius cuI de sac for the extension
of E1 Vista Circle.
The cuI de sac at E1 Vista Circle shall be improved with standard
curb, gutter, pavement, water service and sewer service.
Pay $25.00 recreation fee for each lot split.
Parcel 2 of lot split No. 289 shall be made not less than 100
.feet wide on the north-south dimension.
The city shall accept the offer of "future street" at the present
end of E1 Vista Circle.
Councilman Camphouse advised that in compliance with a request he had
personally viewed the properties in question and did not think a request
that the line on lot split No. 289 be relocated northerly a distance of
15 feet was incompatible. He thereupon moved that Council accept the
recommendation"of the Planning Commission and indicate its intention to
approve Lot Splits Nos. 288 and 289 upon compliance with the above listed
conditions and the added condition that the line on Lot Split No. 289
be relocated northerly a distance of 15 feet. Councilman Balser seconded
the motion.
Before the motion was voted upon Mr. Ray DuShane addressed the Council,
stating in substance that in~his opinion the proposed radius of the
cuI de sac for E1 Vista Circle. is excessive and would require too much
of his property; that he desired Council defer action on his requested
lot split (No. 288) until further word from him as he desired
additional time to study the matter.
Whereupon Councilmen Camphouse and Balser withdrew their motion and
second respectively.

Mr. Zeigler, son of the applicant for Lot Split No. 289, also addressed
the Council, stating in part that the map does not give a true picture
of his property; that he suggested a member of the Council view it from
his home which would prove that moving the line 15 feet north would
reduce the front yard more' than desirable, and that he was in accord
with Mr. DuShane in desiring that action on Lot Split No. 289 be held in
abeyance.
Councilman Phillips thereupon moved that Councilmanic action on Lot Splits
Nos. 288 and 289 be held pending advice by either or both of the ;:
applicants that the matter be reopened. Councilman Balser seconded the
motion and it was carried unanimously.
Irene MacKinnon, 601 Estrella Avenue I
Motion by Councilman Camphouse, seconded by Councilman Balser and carried
unanimously that Council accept the recommendation of the Planning
Commission and deny the request of Irene MacKinnon, 601 Estrella Avenue,
for a lot split at 601 Estrella Avenue.
Mayor Reibo1d called for a ten minute recess at 9;30 P.M.
Located on the westerly extension of Fairview Avenue to Holly Avenue,
consisting of 10 lots.
Recommendation of Planning Commission for denial without prejudice
because of the length of the cuI de sac and presented to the Council
October 22, 1959. Council had concurred in the recommendation, with the
suggestion that the staff and the City Attorney work with the Sub-
division Committee in an attempt to resolve the situation, possibly with
an outlet either to Holly Avenue or Duarte Road.
A general discussion ensued upon the presentation at this meeting of a
revised tentative map of said Tract, wherein the changes were observed,
among them being that all lots were above minimum requirements whereas
previously there had been objections to small size lots being adjacent to
Zone R-O property. It was noted, with regar~to the objection to the
two right angle turns in the street that after consideration of the
location of existing houses, it is the only practical way the property
can be subdivided.
Mr. Fred Erickson, the subdivider, addressed the Council, stating in part
that the situation existing in this matter is not of the subdivider's
making; that the property necessary to comply with the City's suggested
street contour has not been secured as the owner has not been willing to
sell. He inquired if Council would make some comment as to whether or
not condemnation proceedings by the City would be considered in the event
the subdivider cannot secure the property in question.
Mayor Reibo1d stated that the City's ordinance on the length of cuI de I
sacs is archaic in his opinion; that increased population and number of
motor vehicles is being disregarded and over-emphasis placed on shorten-
ing cuI de sacs because of emergency vehicle requirements; that he would
suggest a larger turning radius at the end of a cuI de sac as a solution
to the problem.
Councilman Phillips stated that as long as the City's ordinance on the
length of cuI de sacs is in effect it must be adhered to; that in answer
to Mr. Erickson's question regarding condemnation proceedings, if the
subdivider is unable to find a willing seller in order to have an
approved street then it behooves the Council to come to his assistance,
as has been done in the past in like situations, with condemnation
proceedings at the subdivider's cost, and that in his opinion such
proceedings in this instance would be indicated. He continued that on
the basis that those persons who complained about the position of the
street having been heard by the Planning Commission, and because the

acquisition and the work as of the moment must be done by the subdivider,
he moved that Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commis-
sion and grant tentative approval to Tract No. 25253 subject to the
following conditions;
1. Dedicate a five foot planting and sidewalk easement along the west
side of lot 4, the front of lots 5, 6, 7 and 8, along the north

Located On Encino Avenue and Camino Grove Avenue, containing 20 lots.
Motion by Councilman Balser, seconded by Councilman Jacobi and carried
unanimously that Council accept and approve final map of Tract No. 25340
subject to conditions set forth in letter of Planning Commission dated
March 31, 1960; that the City Clerk be and she is hereby authorized and
directed to endorse in due form such approval and acceptance on said map
and affix thereto the corporate seal of the City of Arcadia and to certify

guaranteeing certain improvements in said Tract No. 25340 pursuant to
Section 21 of Ordinance No. 860.
The Director of Public Works called the attention of the Council to the
points where the final map varies from the tentative map, to wit;
1. Lot 15 has been lengthened 20 feet and the front portion of Lot 20
has been widened 9 feet at the request of the Commission.
2. Lots 4 and 17 have been included in the tract.
3. . The west end of Camino Grove Avenue has been straightened. It was
curved on the tentative map to clear a house on lot 4. The building
is now to be removed. Realigning the street will create a jog of
about 25 feet at the center lines of Camino Grove Avenue and Leda Lane.

that the subdivider is requesting that the City pay this amount. He
added that he recommended the tract be approved pursuant to the
recommendation of the Planning Commission and that the matter of the
additional 'cost for the drainage facilities be referred to the staff for
a report to Council.
The Director of Public Works advised that in addition to the following
seven conditions, as listed in the communication dated March 30, 1960

of the Planning Commission dated March 30, 1960, as set forth above, and
the added'condition that a 10 foot easement be granted for storm drainage

of a Minute Order at such time as there shall be deposited with the City
of Arcadia a good and sufficient Surety Bond guaranteeing certain improve-
ments in said Tract No. 25368 pursuant to Section 21 of Ordinance No.860.
Councilman Jacobi seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously. I
Councilman Phillips further moved that the matter concerning possible
payment by the City for the cost of additional drainage in said Tract
No. 25368 as contained in the communication dated March 30, 1960 from
Mr. James J. Cecka, President of the Decal Corporation, owner of the land

Councilman Balser announced, as a member of a Committee composed of
himself, H. T. Michler and Ralph Norton (Planning Commission) and
Me1 Pratt (Vehicle parking District No. 1 Commissioner) appointed to
work with the staff for the purpose of reporting on the proposed develop-
ment and improvement of the older business sections of Arcadia, that he

reviewed the existing problems as brought forth by the staff and other
related problems observed by individual committee members, and that
his report regarding this subject would be presented by the City Manager.
Whereupon the City Manager read said report (on file in the office of the
City Clerk) adding that the recommendations apply to all areas of the city
where applicable and are not made for a specific block or parcel of
property, and that copies of the report were forwarded to the Planning
Commission, the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Arcadia
Business Association to afford them an opportunity to review the sug-
gestions for more thorough discussion before the Planning Commission.
A general discussion ensued and Mayor Reibo1d commended the Committee for
their prompt work and complete analysis of the problem, dismissed them,
and suggested the matter be referred to the Planning Commission.
Councilman Balser then moved that the report as submitted by the Committee
be referred to the Planning Commission. Councilman Phillips seconded the
motion and it was carried unanimously.
The City Manager submitted the following Library plans and specifications
for Council's consideration:
1. Final cost estimate for construction document phase as prepared
by the architect dated March 8, 1960.
2. Contract documents and specifications for the Library furnishings.
3. Contract documents arid specifications for Library construction.
4. Construction plans for Library furnishings.
5: Construction plans for Library construction.
He added that said plans have been approved by the Building Department
and the Director of Public Works and the specifications as submitted
were reviewed and approved by both himself and the City Attorney.
Mayor Reibo1d stated that the plans as drawn indicate that it is neces-
sary to acquire the property at the southeast corner adjoining the
building site of the Library but that the figure being asked is, in the
opinion of the Council, unreasonable; that he suggested the City Manager
be instructed, as soon as feasible after the matter has gone to bid, to
submit an addenda to move the library on the plot plan in order to make
the acquisition of the aforesaid property unnecessary.
Councilman Phillips agreed that if the asking price of the said property
could not be negotiated on an equitable basis that this should not hinder
this favorable bidding period; that the plot plan could be changed,
which in his opinion would not materially affect the bidding process. He
also commended the City Manager, the City Attorney, the Building Department
and the staff for their work in--this matter.
Councilman Camp house added that he did not think the Library Board was
aware of this problem, which had arisen at the last minute, and that he
wished to emphasize for their benefit that the property in question is
immaterial location-wise; that it had been offered to the City some years
ago at a reasonable figure, and that if this property cannot be acquired
at a fair market price it will in no way impair the library program.
Councilman Phillips then moved that Council accept the recommendation of
the City Manager and that he be authorized to approve said plans on behalf
of the City of Arcadia; that the plans, specifications and estimates be
placed on file with the City Clerk and the building plans be placed on file
with the Building Department. Councilman Camphouse seconded the motion

1. It would permit north, south, and westbound traffic to bypass the

2. It would serve as access to the area east of Santa Anita if the
hoped-for redevelopment of this area should occur.
3. The owner of the Santa Anita Motor Inn has abandoned his plans
for expansion and is placing the old right of way on the market.
4. If any substantial improvements are made On this property, any
future consideration of the opening would appear to be out of
the question.
The City Manager added that in view of the above factors the City has
obtained a 60-day option to purchase the property owned by Joseph E.
and Elane R. Henisse, and requested authorization to proceed with the
acquisition of this property by entering into an escrow agreement in
the amount of $25,250.00 with the sellers to pay all costs connected
with said escrow, and that the necessary funds be transferred from
Account No. 109-28, Council Contingency Account, to Capital Projects

the Government, said site being located on the north side of Wheeler

He continued that in view of the action by these groups he recommended
that he be authorized to forward a statement to the Postal Officials
to the effect that the City Council, recognizing the dire need for
expanded post office facilities to serve the citizens of the community,
strongly recommends that such expanded facilities be provided as soon
as possible; that in view of the fact that present and prior facilities
are and have been located in the general vicinity of Huntington Drive

and First Avenue it is recommended that any new postal facilities be
constructed in the general area of the present post office; that the
construction of these much needed postal facilities on the site
optioned by the Postal Department located on Wheeler Street between
Santa Anita and First Avenue will not interfere with any plans of the
City, and that an early start on construction is urged.
A general discussion ensued. Councilman Camphouse commented that the
City had reserved this area for a large overall development but that
the proposed postal facilities will preclude such plans; however,
notwithstanding his fondest dream of what the area could be, and although
personally he did not think it a good idea, since it is the consensus of
the aforementioned groups that said postal facilities are essential,
that he ~oved that Council accept the recommendation of the City Manager
as stated above.
Councilman Phillips seconded the motion and commented that this is a
concession on his part as he had worked for a long time, and
practically campaigned on the issue, of reserving this area for a large
overall development. He added that the Post Office Department, or. 'the
negotiator, should be apprised, possibly unofficially, of the action
just taken by the Council regarding the opening of Huntington Boulevard;
that at one time the Government had considered the Allen stable area as
a possible site; that with the positive action of a street both front and
rear, the area might seem attractive again.
Mayor Reibo1d stated that the Chamber of Commerce and the businessmen in
the area have given the matter a great deal of thought, and that since
they have endorsed the site he would cooperate.

The City Manager advised that an estimate of population of Arcadia has
been made by the State Department of Finance setting forth the March 1,
1960 estimated population at 42,300. He added that this figure will
now be used as a basis for fee apportionment to the City of State Gas
Tax and Motor Vehicle Licenses effective as of the first of the year,
based upon the present per capita rate, and that this will result in an
increase in return to the city of $28,307.00 in the next twelve months;
that this could be effected by the lowering of these per capita rates,
although not materially; and that the cost of this to the City will be
approximately $250.00, and not to exceed $500.00.
The City Manager submitted a report prepared by the Director of Public
Works on the status of State and County Gas Tax projects covering:

(Full report on file in office of the City Clerk)
The City Manager added that the funds indicated opposite each project
are available and have been apportioned to the projects; that primarily
these projects have been delayed because of right-of-way acquisition
and that within approximately two weeks the Director of Public Works
hopes to be in position to assign an individual to the task of obtaining
the needed parcels so that this work may proceed.
The Director of Public Works advised that a short time ago he had
discussed the matter of the Beckstrom Lumber Company development,
(Front Street and St. Joseph Street) and visited the site. That he
desired to bring the Council up to date on the past history of this
matter, to wit, for the City to quit claim their right, title and
interest in the triangular piece of property adjacent to their property,
to enable them to use this property in conjunction with the advantageous
development of their land. That the triangular strip of property once
owned by the Pacific Electric Railway has been quit claimed to the
Beckstroms and the title is still clouded by an easement in favor'of the
City for highway purposes.
I
That on November 11, 1959 the Council informally indicated a desire to
proceed with the abandonment or vacation of this triangular strip of
property conditioned upon the following;
1. The parcel to become a part of adjoining lots 24, 25 and 28, Block
78, Santa Anita Tract.
2. That concrete curbs and gutters were to be installed at the
Beckstroms expense along Front Street to connect to the existing
curb and to extend the same northwesterly to St. Joseph Street,
thence westerly along the south side of St. Joseph Street to
Santa Anita Avenue, and to construct the curb return at the
intersection of St. Joseph Street and Santa Anita Avenue.
3. That the telephone and/or electric poles be relocated with
like features on this parcel of land, at no expense to the
City. As a part of the vacation proceedings, we will recite
the reservations for easements existing of record.

4. That the Beckstroms remove all encroachments nOW existent on
Front Street.
5. The drainage of the gutter was.to be designed so as to discharge
the water onto Santa Anita Avenue from St. Joseph St.
That subsequently, on December 9, 1959,'a memorandum was addressed to
the Mayor and City Council which stated in brief as follows:
"An investigation into the grading and paving of St. Joseph Street and
the balance on Front Street indicates that the estimated cost of
construction will be approximately $8,000.00. The Beckstroms are
extremely reluctant to pay anything towards this improvement.
"The memoranda continued to the effect that the present policy of the
City was to pave the shoulders in locations where the center pavement
strip exists and the property owners pay the cost of installing the .
curbs and gutters. In this instance, however, nO center strip exists
and, therefore, we have the necessity of extending the policy to include
the whole street.
"We asked the City Council if they would give this their consideration and
advise the Staff of their decision, keeping in mind that we cancantieipate
the expense of paving and grading, as afore- described at $8,000.00, "and
the establishment of a new policy.
"The estimated cost of the curb and gutter construction is $1400.00.
"Informal discussions with the Beckstroms leads me to believe. they would
be Willing to put up the $1400.00 in a form of a bond for the faithful
completion of the curb and gutter construction."
A general discussion ensued wherein it was the consensus of the Council
that it would not be equitable to spend the sum of $8000.00 in this
instance; that they might go so far as to prorate the difference between
what the City would normally spend and the cost of the total job, but to
change the usual policy of the City in this one instance would create an
unwanted precedent.
Councilman Camphouse then moved that this matter be returned to staff
for further discussion. Councilman Balser seconded the motion and it was
carried unanimously.
The City Manager submitted a report from the Director of Public Works on
the proposed improvement of Sycamore Avenue, east from Highland Oaks
Avenue and Second Avenue from Foothill Boulevard to Sycamore Avenue, '';.'':.

Councilman Camphouse stated that 1n connection with the proposed improve-
ment of Sycamore and Second Avenue, he would like the Council and the
Staff to give consideration to the matter of sidewalks and method of
financing same in that area. The City Manager answered that this matter
was already under consideration and that a recommendation from the Staff
would be forthcoming.

The City Manager advised that in 1954 the City Council authorized the
establishment of a $1000.00 Revolving Fund for the purpose of maintain-
ing an inventory of office supplies and materials; that this permits
bulk purchases of items requisitioned by the various departments and
results in considerable savings in money and time. That since the origin
of the printing section it has been found that the size of the Revolving
Fund is inadequate.
Whereupon Councilman Jacobi moved that Council accept the recommendation
of the City Manager and the City Controller and authorize the increase
of the inventory allowance from the present amount of $1000.00 'to an
amount of $2000.00; that the sum of $1000.00 be transferred from the

Personnel Board that a position of Assistant City Controller be established.
That after review and consideration the Personnel Board is recommending
that the position be established, with a salary schedule No. 45,
$592-721. and position of Accountant be abolished.
In the general discussion that followed the City Manager stated that this
was not adding an additional position but only changing the title of the
position; that it is not in the same schedule but an increase, and in I
answer to Councilman Camphouse's query as to the previous schedule the
City Manager replied that he believed it was approximately 5% below the
present proposed schedule. The City Clerk then advised that the salary
schedule of the accountant was $486 to $592.00.
