CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA
REGULAR MEETING
MAY 3, 1960
The City Council of the City of Arcadia met in regular session in the
Council Chamber of the City Hall at 8:00 o'clock P.M., May 3, 1960.
The' Invocation was offered by Rev. A. Leonard Gilmour, Pastor of the
Arcadia Friends Church.
PRESENT :
ABSENT:
Councilmen Balser, Butterworth, Reibo1d, Camphouse
Councilman Phillips
Councilman Reibo1d moved that the minutes of the Regular Meetings of
April 5 and April 19, 1960 as submitted in writing be approved. Council-
man Balser seconded the motion which was carried unanimously with the
exception of Councilman Butterworth who abstained as to the minutes of
April 19, 1960.
Continued hearing on application of Paul B. Caler and others, for change
of zone from R-3 to C-3 on north side of Duarte Road from Nos. 745 to
917. Planning Commission Resolution No. 359 recommending denial of such
request. Hearing closed on April 5, 1960.
The Director of Public Works displayed a map of the area in question and
the City Attorney summarized the recommendation of the Planning Commis-
sion as set out in their Resolution No. 359, and their findings in'
support thereof, viz: that no written protests were filed but there were
many who appeared at the Planning Commission hearing and spoke against
the change of zone; that property immediately east of the subject property
has had commercial zoning since 1952 and is still undeveloped; that the
property in the Golden West area that has been zoned for commercial uses
under County regulations is developed with small businesses only; that
the public necessity and convenience do not require the change of zone;
that granting the requested zone change would not follow good zoning
practice nor be for the general welfare and would be detrimental to the
residential properties on the south side of Duarte Road,
Whereupon Councilman Reibo1d moved that, in light of the outcome of
Ordinance No. 1071, which in essence said that the people of Arcadia do
not want more business property, and in light of the recommendation of
the Planning Commission to deny this request, and in spite of the hearing
on it, that Planning Commission Resolution No. 359 recommending denial,
be sustained. Councilman Balser seconded the motion.
Before a vote could be taken Councilman Butterworth stated in substance
that he questioned the ability of the applicants to make reasonable use
of their property unless it was rezoned to C-3, and that in his opinion
the owners of property in the area will be deprived of a real property
right; that he felt more consideration should be given the requested
rezoning. To Councilman Reibo1d's point of order as to Councilman
Butterworth's status in that he had not participated in the hearing on
the matter Councilman Butterworth replied that the point was well taken
but that he desired to express his opinion so that it would be clear as
to how he would vote were he in position so to do.
Mayor Camphouse commented that opinions similar to those expressed by
Councilman Butterworth had been advanced at the hearing before the Council

and also that essentially this request is an individual piece-meal
operation. That on the surface it appears that because of what
might be across the street would lend itself to commercial develop-
ment, this type of experiment was attempted on Duarte Road between
First and Second Avenues and had proved unsuccessful; that in his
opinion he would favor the zone change had the property been combined
into a unit.
The following roll call was then taken of the above motion:
AYES: Councilmen Balser, Reibo1d, camphouse
ABSTAINED: Councilman Butterworth
NOES: None
ABSENT: Councilman Phillips

Councilman Camphouse declared the hearing open on the application of
Dr. Emil R. Ritter and others for a zone reclassification from Zone R-1
to Zones C-3 and D (Architectural Overlay) of property located at 623
West Duarte Road (Planning Commission Resolution No. 367 recommended
reclassification), and inquired if anyone in the audience desired to
address the Council on the matter.
Dr. Emil R. Ritter, 1001 Paloma Drive, Arcadia, addressed the Council,
stating that he resided and practiced medicine in Arcadia; that he
represented six doctors who have purchased the property in question,
which lies immediately east of the Gateway Market development and
across the street from an existing medical center and the new being
constructed Security Bank Building, for the purpose of building a
multiple unit medical office building.
Upon inquiry from Councilman Reibo1d, the following doctors were named
as the owners:
James E. Anderson, M.D.
Theodore E. Drake, M.D.
Emil R. Ritter, M,D.
Charles Shore, M.D.
Clyde B. McAuley, M,D,
Antone W. Nisson, Dentist
No one else desiring to address the Council, Councilman Butterworth
moved that the hearing be closed. Councilman Reibo1d seconded the
motion and it was carried unanimously.
The Director of Public Works then pointed out the area in question on
the zoning map and a general discussion ensued.
To Councilman Balser's inquiry of Dr. Ritter as to whether he was
familiar with the fact that Huntington Drive, between Baldwin and
Holly Avenues, had been zoned C-Q primarily for the purpose of the
development of medical buildings as it had been felt that they would
be more compatible with the apartment houses being developed in that
area, Dr. Ritter replied that he was aware of this fact as his office
was presently in that location.
1
Mayor Camphouse commented that the Huntington Drive area had been zoned
c-o so that it could be developed for medical buildings rather than
rezoning new areas and changing the content, especially after some
Arcadia residents had expressed themselves as feeling that Arcadia
already has a sufficient number of service areas.
Dr. Theodore E. Drake addressed the Council, stating in substance
that approximately 50% of the doctors practicing in Arcadia are
located within the area of the Medical and Professional Square Building
and the soon to be built Security Bank Building, and their reason
for preferring to locate there is the expediency of securing the
ancillary services of X-Ray, laborAtories and consultation with other
doctors.

Councilman Balser mentioned that one of the projects of the Chamber of
Commerce is to make Arcadia the top medical office building area in the
San Gabriel Valley and that he hoped the medical profession would not
all want to locate in the business areas, particularly since there is an
area reserved for just such purpose on Huntington Drive.
Councilman Reibo1d stated that there is also territory in downtown
Arcadia which would provide adequate facilities for professional buildings,
and added that he had been in favor of what he had thought was a forward
looking development of West Arcadia, but that since Ordinance No. 1071
was defeated, he could not in good conscience draw a distinction between
a 'piece of property on the north side of Duarte Road and a piece of
property on the south side of Duarte Road; that he felt Council could not
keep faith with the peop1e'of Arcadia and still go along with what the
Planning Commission has recommended in this case; and that he therefore
moved that Council not accept the recommendation of the Planning Commis-
sion as contained in its Resolution No. 367, and deny the application of
Dr. Emil R. Ritter and others for a zone reclassification from Zone R-1
to Zones C-3 and D (Architectural Overlay) of property located at 623
West Duarte Road.
Councilman Balser commented that although he sympathized with Councilman
Reibo1d's thinking, and would prefer the proposed medical building being
constructed on Huntington Drive, he could not comprehend what could be
built between a mortuary and a market other than a commercial building.
The above motion having died for lack of a second, Councilman Butterworth
then moved that Planning Commission Resolution No, 367, recommending
classification of property at 623 West Duarte Road from R-1 to C-3 and D
be approved. Councilman Balser seconded the motion which was carried on
roll call vote as follows:
AYES: Councilmen Balser and Butterworth
NOES: Councilman Reibo1d
ABSTAINED: Mayor Camphouse (for business reasons and affiliations)
ABSENT: Councilman phillips
It was announced that this matter will go over until a vote of three
councilmen can be secured one way or the other; that the matter will
appear on Pending Agenda,
The City Clerk advised that an application had been filed by Richard W,
Callaway (dba Rancho Lanes, Inc.), residing at 894 Fallen Leaf Road,
Arcadia, for a business permit to allow the operation of a 24 lane bowl-
ing alley, including coffee shop, cocktail lounge, end nu~~ery",
adjacent to the E1 Rancho Shopping Center, said alley to be open
daily from 8:00 A.M. to 2:00 A.M.
The City Clerk then presented a petition carrying 21 signatures,
protesting the use of the land for a bowling alley, restaurant and
cocktail lounge and other businesses that usually come with this type
of business; also a commUnication of protest from the Santa Anita
Village Community Association, signed by William J. Bird, Vice
President.
Mayor Camphouse declared the hearing open
INDEXE to address the Council, adding that under
D City's ordinance, this particular hearing
and inquired if anyone desired
the technicalities of the
is not on zoning,
The following is a summary of the full transcript on file in the City
Clerk's office:
Mr. Thomas R. Suttner, 50 North First Avenue, Arcadia, attorney for the
applicant, addressed the Council, submitted a plot plan of the subject
area and displayed an architect's rendition of the proposed building.

He stated in substance that the question of whether other bowling alleys
in Arcadia are adequate for the demand is not a legal question; that the
applicant, who is a family man and a resident of Arcadia, would not
advocate a business detrimental to the community; that he proposes to
erect a bowling alley with the usual facilities similar to every other
bowling alley in Arcadia with the exception that ne does not plan to have
a billiard room; that there is a precedent in Arcadia of two other exist-
ing bowling alleys and that the background of the applicant and the
existing zoning are good ground for granting the application.
The applicant, Mr. Richard W. Callaway, 894 Fallen Leaf Road, Arcadia,
then addressed the Council, described his background, reiterated state-
ments made by his attorney as to method of operation, and added that 1
there will be a nursery for small children, a coffee shop and cocktail
lounge, in addition to the bowling alleys. He also described the type
of building proposed to be constructed, stating that it would be the
same architectural style as predominates in the neighborhood.
Mayor Camphouse then inquired if anyone else in the audience desired> to
address the Council, adding that he had noted that some of the petition
signers were objecting on the basis that the proposed bowling alley will
have a cocktail lounge, and requested the City Attorney to explain to the
audience regarding that phase, adding that he wished to emphasize the
point that a liquor license is under the control of the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board and if the people are interested in that type of protest it
should be made before them and not before the Council.
The City Attorney proceeded to explain in substance that zoning is not
in issue at this hearing; that the property is and has been zoned
commercially for many years; that some years ago the Council deemed it
advisable to require a special permit for some 40 businesses enumerated
in the amendment to the business license Ordinance No. 737, which amend-
ment was added by Ordinance No. 823, because certain businesses may,
either by their nature or by their manner of conduct, be detrimental or
harmful to the public peace, health, safety, morals or welfare of the
community; that the ordinance itself is not a prohibition but is a means
of regulation and specifically states that the Council shall deny a permit
if it finds and determines that the granting of the permit or the conduct-
ing of a business for which a permit is requested will be injurious,
detrimental or harmful to the public peace, health, safety, morals or
welfare of the City of Arcadia or the inhabitants thereof. That this
places a burden of producing competent evidence that these detrimental
factors exist or will occur in the conduct of the business for which the
permit is requested and if there be no evidence whatsoever, then the
Council has no alternative but to grant a permit.
The following persons then addressed the Council in protest to the
granting of the requested permit, each stating in substance that:
Mr. Richard H. Clucas, 525 Cortez Road: Such a business would influence
the welfare of the residents in the area which is primarily residential,
and the welfare of his family residing less than a block away from a
business which operates a bar which attracts undesirables.

Mildred Deffebach, 426 Cortez Road: Would change the character of the
neighborhood.
Mr. Robert A. Minckler, 526 Cortez Road: A bar will create a disturbance
and destroy the character of the neighborhood.
Mr. Richard H. Mazy, owner of 530 Cortez Road: The neighborhood is
approximately 70% residential which is not true of the other two bowling
alleys in Arcadia, and this is an unusual area for a bowling alley.
Mr. W. F. Paetz, 506 Columbia Road: Would affect the shopping area in
existance in this area in that they could not expand, and that in his
opinion expansion is necessary if many of the shops are to remain in
business.

Mrs. John T. Goss, 435 Cortez Road: Would not want her children raised in

Mrs. Job Moore, 835 Michi11inda Avenue, Pasadena: Too much noise from

installed on Baldwin Avenue and others nearby, and would be a detriment
to her property.

Mrs. Richard H. Clucas, 525 Cortez Road: Too much traffic and would not

Mayor Camphouse stated that Council would prefer to hear from persons
having something to add over and above what has already been stated or
.n-itten.
Mr. Thomas R. Suttner, attorney for applicant, stated in part that the
objections made are primarily to zoning, which is not before the Council,
and also to the question of a cocktail lounge, which is not before the
council, but is a matter for the Alcoholic Beverage Control, which can be
heard when they have a hearing on the matter. He commented that the bowl-
ing alley mentioned as being constructed in West Arcadia is a zoning
problem which has not yet been settled; also the bowling alley in South
Arcadia is contiguous to R-1 property; that regarding a cocktail lounge
being adjacent to a residential area, he cited as a precedent Eaton's
Restaurant which is within walking distance of a well defined residential
area, and Rand's Restaurant, which backs up to residential property, both
having cocktail bars. He added that the matter should be determined on
the question of whether there has been evidence showing that the proposed
use is adverse to the public health, safety and morals.
Councilman Reibo1d then moved that the hearing be closed, which motion was
seconded by Councilman Balser and carried unanimously.
Councilman Balser stated in part that after hearing the protests he
personally felt that this proposed bowling alley would not be compatible
to the area and would be detrimental to the welfare of the citizens of
Arcadia and that he moved that the application of Richard W. Callaway
for a business permit to allow the operation of a bowling alley adjacent
to the E1 Rancho Shopping Center be denied.
Councilman Reibo1d seconded the motion, adding in part that in his opinion
the Council has only one determination to make at this hearing and that
is whether or not this business will be injurious, detrimental or harmful
to the public peace, health, safety, morals or welfare, and that he felt
the general welfare of the people of the area would be injured in the term
of noise and additional traffic.
In the general discussion that ensued, Councilman Butterworth stated in
substance that the issue involved in this matter is not zoning, since the
property in question is already zoned commercial and one of the lawful

uses in a commercial zone is a bowling alley. That although he is
sympathetic with the feeling of the people living nearby, the property
was zoned commercial some time ago. That 'with regard to the sale of
alcoholic beverages, that is outside the jurisdiction of this Council
and is a matter that can be heard before the A1colio1ic Beverage Control
Board, at which time objections may be made. That the issue is whether
the applicant is qualified for a business license, and as the uniform
application of the law applies to all, that he believes the applicant
has qualified and is entitled to a business permit; that if not granted-
such permit and he wants to take his remedy, he could mandamus the Council.
Councilman Reibo1d then stated in part that the matter goes to the Business
License Ordinance itself; that in his opinion Council has no'choice but to 1
deny the permit; that the ordinance states: "The City Council shall have
the right to and shall refuse any such permit if it shall find ......that
the permit requested would be injurious, detrimental or harmful to anyone
of these things: public peace, health, safety, welfare or morals." That
in his opinion the testimony before the Council at this hearing shows this
beyond any shadow of doubt, and that he did not fear a court case on the
matter.
Mayor Camphouse oommented in part that he sympatliized with the people
having property interests but that in the past permits for bowling alleys
with liquor licenses have been granted basically because of lack of
interest of people within the community. He then called for a roll call
which was carried as follows:

The City Attorney commented that Council's formal decision will be embodied

Mayor Camphouse declared the hearing open on the application of Mr. Argi1
Simmons, assistant Secretary of the Rose Hills Memorial Park Association for
a business permit to allow door to door solicitation. Said application sets
forth that the hours of solicitation will be Monday through Friday between
9:30 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. and evenings by appointment; also that an office is
maintained in the City of Arcadia. Mayor Camphouse inquired if anyone in
the audience desired to address the Council on the matter.
No one desiring to speak, and no communications having been received
protesting the granting of such permit, Councilman Balser moved that the
hearing be closed. Councilman Reibo1d seconded the motion and it was
carried unanimously.
Councilman Balser further moved that Council approve the application of
Mr. Argi1 Simmons, Assistant Secretary of the Rose Hills Memorial Park
Association for a business permit to allow door to door solicitation
between the hours of 9:30 A.M. to 3:00 P.M., Mondays through Fridays;

In compliance with Councilman Butterworth's request, Mayor,Camphouse
stated'that the next item to be heard will be 13 (d) on the agenda, regard-
ing a communication and petition from the Arcadia Golf Course requesting
an amendment of the provisions of their lease with the City to permit the
sale of beer.
The City Clerk read said letter and petition, which contained approximately
100 signatures, which letter stated in substance that their reason for the
request was to enable them to more effectively compete with another golf
course less than five miles away that had opened for business since the
execution of their lease with the City.
The City Attorney advised that the property is City owned and under lease
, ___which lease presently prohibits the sale of any type of liquor, including
~ beer, on the property, and an amendment of the lease is required in order
to make it permissible so to do. He pointed out that it is a matter of
policy only as to whether the Council wishes to permit beer to be served
on property that is owned by the City and leased to the golf course; that
it is not a matter of Alcoholic Beverage Control except that the golf
course would have to obtain a permit from them if Council were to allow
the golf course to sell beer; that no law prohibits sale of beer on City
property, and zoning is not involved.

The following persons addressed the Council, protesting the granting of a
permit to the Arcadia Golf Course to sell beer on the premises:
Rev. George Walters, 432 West Duarte Road, Minister associated with the
Church of the Good Shepherd, stated in substance that it being city-owned
property, open to all the people of the community, and largely frequented
by young people, thae the sale of alcoholic beverages or beer would
create a precedent for other city-owned property; also that the Lessee
understood that no alcoholic beverages, including beer, were to be sold
on the premises when the lease was executed.,
Mr. Arthur Pelto, 2801 Winthrop Avenue and Mr." J. D. Barnard, 141 Alice
St. stated in part that classes for children from 8:00 A.M.: to 12:00 were
conducted on the premises; also that no financial hardship appears to be
involved since the course is always crowded and it is necessary to wait
at least an hour to get on' the course.
It was also ascertained that it is a policy of Los Angeles County not to
permit the sale of alcoholic beverages of any kind on any of their property.
Councilman Butterworth thereupon moved that the request of the Arcadia Golf
Company requesting an amendment of the provisions of their lease dated
November 18, 1957 between the City and the Arcadia Golf Course, to permit
the sale of beer, be denied. Councilman Reibo1d seconded the motion and
it was carried on roll call vote as follows: '

The City Attorney explained that it had been Council's declaration, at the
time 17-A annexation proceedings were in process, to favorably act upon
the request of the First Baptist Church of Temple City for exclusion after
the annexation was completed rather than to hold up the proceedings; that
through a misunderstanding this could not be accomplished as simply as had
been anticipated and that he had requested that they await the outcome of
the Temple City incorporation, for if successful the matter of annexation
from one city to another would be simple. Assuming Council does not wish
to change their prior determination, he recommended that Council authorize
the City Clerk to address a letter to the City Council of the newly formed
City of Temple City to that effect, await the organization of the Council
of said City and the appointment of their City Attorney in order that the
matter might be expedited.
Whereupon Councilman Balser moved that Council reaffirm:their,wi11ingness

Located on Sandra Avenue and Lenta Lane, consisting of 11 lots.
Recommendation of Planning Commission for Tentative Map approval,
subject to specified conditions.
The Director of Public Works advised that this matter has been taken
before the Planning Commission twice; that the Subdivision Committee
met with the subdivider and owners on the site and also that members
of the staff have viewed the site; that it was found that the tract
does not conform with the minimum requirements as follows:
Ten of the lots are less than 75' wide at the building line; the cu1 de
sac as shown on the map is approximately 800 feet long; that a consider-
able portion of Sandra Avenue is shown as 43' wide with a future
dedication of seven feet; that the property immediately north of lots
10 and 11 (designated as the Scott property) is now available for sub-
division; that it would be possible, through the development of this
particular area, to eliminate the 800' cu1 de sac; and that the recom-
mendation for approval is subject,to the following conditions:
Secure additional land to make each lot a minimum of 75 feet
wide at the building line.
Dedicate all of the streets' a minimum of 50 foot right of way
with an additional 5 foot planting and sidewalk easement on
each side.
Provide all necessary rear line utility easements.
Install all street improvements required by the Subdivision
Ordinance in accordance with plans and grades to be approved by
the City Engineer.
Pay all fees and deposits required by the Subdivision Ordinance.
Extend Lenta Lane north to connect with Rodell Place and the
present dead end of Lenta Lane and include the property north
of lots 10 and 11 (designated as Scott property) in the subdivision.
The Director of Public Works advised further that one of the obstacles
to actually complying with the recommendation of the Planning Commission
is that one of the property owners involved does not desire encroachment
upon his property of the necessary amount to actually straighten the
street or to provide the property to widen the lots, although he has
indicated to the staff that he would in the future grant a covenant for
the necessary property.
Mr. Alfred Allen, 1045 West Huntington Drive (the subdivider) addressed
the Council and stated in substance that there will be no problem
regarding the cooperation of Mr. Scott; that the only problem in
complying with the recommendations of the Planning Commission is the
securing of more property to make each lot 75' and he does not think
it can be done; that he has no opposition from abutting property owners
who have written a letter to the Council favoring the tract map. He
then proceeded to pass said letter to the Council, which had the signatures
of nine property owners on Fourth Avenue and Rodell Place. He continued,
that there are several hundred lots in the area of the proposed tract that
are under the 75' width and displayed maps in proof thereof.
A general discussion ensued. Mr. L. M. Talley, the Planning Secretary,
was asked by Councilman Butterworth for his thinking,on the subject,
which he expressed as agreeing with Mr. Allen to the extent that there
are many houses built in Arcadia on lots of less than 75' frontage, but
that years ago the City's ordinance called for 60' lots which were
later increased to 65' and now are 75'. He added that the decision of
the Planning Commission was unanimous in their recommendation that the
tract map be approved, but with the provision that the lots be 75' wide;
that the 800' cu1 de sac be eliminated; that the street be made a minimum
of 50' wide with a 5' planting easement on each side, which, he added,
would in effect bring the tract up to the full conformance of the
Subdivision Ordinance.

To the City'Attorney's suggestion that Mr. Scott could file a sub-
division map concurrently with that of Mr. Allen, Mr. Allen reiterated
that he was sure Mr. Scott would cooperate, and Mr. Wilfred R. Scott,
who was present, addressed the Council and confirmed the statement.
Mayor Camphouse then inquired if there was anyone else in the audience
wishing to address the Council. Mrs. Alpert, 2516 South Fourth Avenue,
spoke from the audience. However, her questions did not pertain to the
matter at hand.
Mr. Edward F. Stout, 1iason member of the Planning Commission with the
Council, stated in part that he did not feel the City should approve a
substandard subdivision on the basis that the property of one person 1
cannot be acquired at the present time; that eventually, he added, it
will be acquired, at which time the area in question will make a fine
subdivision.
Councilman Butterworth commented that he had not had an opportunity to
view the area in question nor to talk to any of the members of the
Planning Commission, and requested that the matter be held over until the
next Council meeting.
Upon being advised that postponement of a decision would require the
consent of the subdivider, Mr. Alfred Allen (the subdivider) consented
to the continuation of the matter beyond the time specified by the
Subdivision Map Act.
Thereupon Councilman Reibo1d moved, seconded by Councilman Butterworth
and carried on roll call vote as follows, that inasmuch as the subdivider
has agreed to holding the matter over, action on tentative approval of
Tract No. 25782 be held over to the Council Meeting of May 17, 1960:
AYES: Councilmen Balser, Butterworth, Reibo1d, Camphouse

Located on Santa Anita Terrace, containing 24 lots.
Recommendation of Planning Commission that Revised Tentative Map be
approved, subject to specified conditions.
The City Clerk read in its entirety a letter dated April 28, 1960,
from Mr. Arthur C. Bauman of the Westman Development Corp., 109 North
Santa Anita A~nue (letter on file in office of City Clerk) which in
substance requested permission to develop only 16 lots, being that
portion of the tract from the entrance on Camino Real Avenue to what is
shown as Lots 10 and 19 inclusive; that they do not own the land compris-
ing lots 11 to 18 inclusive and efforts to secure same have been unsuccess-
ful due to the prices being requested.,
The Director of Public Works displayed a map of the proposed subdivision 1
and explained that lots 1 and 2 do not meet ' minimum depth requirements;
that lots 3 and 4 do not meet minimum width at the building line but are
well above minimum area and will provide good building sites; that the
subdivider does not yet have options on the easterly 260 feet of the
property but the plan is based on using all of the property between the
two flood control structures; that a right of way coming off of Camino
Real Avenue is dedicated as a 55 foot right of way with a 5 foot planting
and sidewalk easement along the west side of the street and that the tract
is recommended for approval as submitted subject to the following
conditions:
1. Dedicate a 10 foot wide drainage easement instead of the proposed
6 foot easement. '
2. Remove all buildings within the tract and any trees within the
street right of way.

3. Provide all necessary rear line utility easements.
4. Install all street improvements, including drainage facilities,
required by the Subdivision Ordinance in accordance with plans
and to grades to be-approved by the City Engineer.
5. Pay all fees and deposits required by the Subdivision Ordinance.
A general discussion ensued. Councilman Reibo1d commented in part that
he was not opposed to short cu1 de sacs; that the present traffic
pattern, however, enhances property value on dead end streets and that
the long cu1 de sac problem could be resolved by a wide turn-around.
1
The Director of Public Works brought up the subject of a storm drain
20' wide dedicated at this time, stating that at such time as a street
goes through it will be necessary to bridge the storm drain, the
approximate cost of which will be $6000.00.
Mayor Camphouse inquired as to whether the subdivider would be willing
to set up a fund to pay for such bridge, and Mr. Bauman, the subdivider,
being in the audience, addressed the Council, and stated that he would be
willing to do so, but that his engineer had estimated the cost at
approximately $2500.00.
Mr. Cornelius Hoogenboom, 105 W. Camino Real, addressed the Council,
advising that he owned the property farthest to the east of the
proposed subdivision; that his unwillingness to sell to the subdivider
stemmed from the fact that he had two rental units at the back of his
; property and was not interested in selling unless he could get the price
he requested; also that he had no objection to the street going through.
Councilman Balser moved that Council accept the recommendation of the
Planning Commission and approve Tentative Map of Tract No. 25803, deleting
therefrom the lots shown as lots 11 through 18 inclusive, on the conditions
enumerated above, and upon the further condition'that the subdivider
deposit with the City three-fifths (3/5) of the cost as estimated by the
City Engineer of the cost of the drainage structure over the storm drain
at the easterly end of the map as submitted; said deposit to be returned
to the depositor, without interest, at the end of ten years if the
drainage structure is not constructed within that time.
Mr. Baum then stated that he did not understand the theory of requiring
him to pay part of the cost of the bridge on the basis that he might
.. '. develop the entire subdivision; that on that basis the other developer
or the property owners themselves should pay for the street that he
purchased.
1
Mayor Camphouse advised Mr. Bauman that he was imposing a new restriction
which would contradict all that had been discussed and decided upon at
this meeting, since earlier he had explicitly agreed to the proration
of the cost of the drainage structure. Whereupon Mr. Bauman withdrew
his statement.

Mr. Jerome T. Stewart, general partner of the Arcadia Golf Course,
addressed the Council, inquiring as to when Council would take, action
on the request of said golf course for a permit to sell beer. He was
informed that the matter had been heard earlier in the evening out of
sequence on the agenda, and the request denied.
Mrs. Basil G. Carmack, 805 West Duarte Road, Mrs. James C. Greer, 901
West Duarte Road, and Mrs. Miriam H. Brainard, 819 Duarte Road,
addressed the Council, stating in substance that in their opinion the
Council had acted inconsistently with regard to their application for
a change of zone from R-3 to C-3 on property located on the north side
of Duarte Road from 745 to 917 West Duarte Road; that lack of consider-
ation had been shown them by both Council and the Planning Commission
and that they would continue to fight for their alleged rights.
Mr. Frank T. Kelly, 725 Ca11ite Avenue, inquired as to what action had
been taken with regard to the recommendations of the Planning Commission
regarding classification and reclassification of territory designated
as West Arcadia Annexation No. 14 and he was advised that no action had
been taken on this parcicu1ar phase of the matter at this meeting; that
the matter had been referred back to the Planning Commission.
