The Director of Public Works added that in his op1n10n, however, the
public convenience and necessity require the reservation of permanent
easements and rights of way for the various structures enumerated in
Section 8330 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California
in order that the City may at any time or from time to time construct,
maintain, operate, replace, remove and renew sanitary sewers, storm
drains and appurtenant structures, or to enlarge pipe lines and other
convenient structures on any portion of said property.
Mayor Camphouse inquired if anyone in the audience desired to address the
Council in opposition to the above mentioned proceedings.
No one desiring to speak, Councilman Phillips moved that the hearing be I
closed. Motion seconded by Councilman Balser and carried unanimously.
It being the determination of the Council that the property hereinbefore
used for street purposes is unnecessary for present or prospective
street purposes and that the public welfare, convenience and necessity
and safety require and will be better served by the vacation thereof as
a public street in the City of Arcadia, the City Attorney presented for
the first time, explained the content and read the title of Ordinance
No. 1087, entitled: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, VACATING AND ABANDONING A PORTION OF FIFTH AVENUE,
A PUBLIC STREET IN SAID CITY AND RESERVING SPECIFIED EASEMENTS THEREIN."
Motion made by Councilman Phillips, seconded by Councilman Reibold and

Mayor Camphouse declared the hearing reopened on the application of
Dr. Emil R. Ritter and others for a zone reclassification from Zone R-l
to Zones C-3 and D (Architectural OVerlay) of property located at 623
West Duarte Road (Planning Commission Resolution No. 367 recommending
reclassification) and requested the City Clerk to read a communication
she had received.
The City Clerk thereupon read said communication from the applicants,
which stated in substance that the original application had requested a
C-3 reclassification in view of the possible need for a prescription I
pharmacy; however, that their purpose could be equally served by having
the property zoned C-O with a variance for a possible pharmacy, and
requested that the original zoning request be amended to an application
for 623 West Duarte Road to be zoned C-O with a variance for a pharmacy. ,
Mayor Camphouse then inquired if anyone in the audience desired to
address the Council either in favor of or in opposition to the requested
zone reclassification.
Councilman Phillips explained that this matter had been original+y set for
hearing May 3, 1960, at which time he had been absent, and the vote had
been two to one against the recommendation of the Planning Commission,
with one abstention; that due to this vote the matter had been placed on
pending agenda and at the Council meeting of May 17, 1960 he had requested
the matter be taken off pending agenda, the hearing reopened and placed
on agenda for this meeting. That as the matter now stands the applicants

are requesting a higher level zone to permit the construction of a
medical building with a variance for a possible pharmacy.
A general discussion ensued. Councilman Balser stated in part that at
the May 3rd meeting he had voted in favor of granting the requested zone
reclassification for the reason that in his opinion the area in question
was suitable for business; that at this time he would be in favor of a
more restrictive zone but that with regard to the requested variance for
a possible pharmacy, he wished to ask the applicant if he would be willing
to delete the pharmacy from his request.
Dr. Charles Shore, 523 Santa Rosa Road, addressed the Council, stating
that he and his associates are interested in a pharmacy at the stated
location for the convenience of the patients of the building; that it is
proposed to be a prescription pharmacy with no sale of magazines or
sundries; however, that if the Council did not favor a pharmacy they would
be agreeable to eliminating it from their plans.
Councilman Reibold stated in part that in his opinion the present trend
seemed to be toward prescription pharmacies in medical buildings; that
such pharmacies are operated by professional people and are an integral
part of that type of operation, and that the City's ordinance should be
amended to permit such pharmacies with restrictions as to signs and sale
of things other than medicinal prescriptions.
Councilman Phillips commented that in the past variances for prescription
pharmacies had been granted with certain restrictions imposed as to the
location of the pharmacy, the type, size and number of signs, advertising,
etc.
Mr. Wesley Davies, General Manager of Rancho Santa Anita, addressed the
Council, stating in part that he disagreed with Councilman Reibold's
statement as to a pharmacy being an integral part of a medical building,
adding that this could lead to commissaries in apartment buildings, and
that in his opinion retail stores in medical buildings cannot compete
with retail stores in C-2 zones. To Councilman Reibold's question as to
whether he was opposed to the granting of a c-o zone Mr. Davies replied
that he was opposed to the granting of any concession whereby merchandise
is retailed within a C-O or R-l or R-2 zone.
There being no one else desiring to be heard, Councilman Balser moved
that the hearing be closed. Motion seconded by Councilman Butterworth
and carried unanimously.
Councilman Butterworth then moved that Council grant the application of
Dr. Emil R. Ritter and others for a zone reclassification of property
located at 623 West Duarte Road from Zone R-l to Zone C-O, and that
their request for a zone variance for a pharmacy, as contained in their
letter as read by the City Clerk at this hearing, at said address be
denied. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion and it was carried on

that in connection with said ordinances the City Manager had prepared
reports on a survey made regarding fees charged for building, electrical
and plumbing permits in other cities in the San Gabriel Valley as
compared with those charged by the City of Arcadia.
Whereupon the City Manager read such reports (on file in office of the
City Clerk) adding that Arcadia's fees as shown by the survey are
approximately 40% lower than those charged for similar permits in the
cities listed, and that it is his recommendation that an increase in
fees is necessary if the Building Department is to operate on a paying
basis.

FROM ZONE R-3 TO ZONE C-3 OF PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF DUARTE
ROAD FROM 745 TO ,917 WEST DUARTE ROAD IN SAID CITY."
I
The City Attorney read the findings stated in the resolution, to wit:
That hearings on this matter were commenced at approximately the same
time as proceedings on Annexation No. 17 and that the subject property
parallels the annexed property; that although 16 owners of property
signed the petition and 20 property owners within a 300 foot radius signed
as approving the requested zone change there were many others who appeared
at the hearings and spoke against the change of zone to commercial uses.
He continued that the property immediately east of subject property has
h~d commercial zoning since 1952 and is still undeveloped; that property
in the Golden West area that has been zoned for commercial uses under
County regulations is developed only with small businesses; that the
present commercial uses are carried on in small buildings, some of them
old, and none of them complying with the No. 1 Fire Zone restrictions;
that it does not appear that public necessity and convenience require
the requested change of zone; that subject property comprises a narrow
shoestring strip not suitable for desirable commercial uses; that the
rezoning of property in the same vicinity on the south side of Duarte
Road for R-3 uses is presently under way and the granting of 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 presently being rezoned for multiple-family
uses. That present development and future planned developments to R-3
uses of Duarte Road frontages in the immediate vicinity of subject
property indicate clearly that subject property is both suitable,
useable and desirable for R-3 purposes.

The City Attorney added that this resolution was drawn upon instructions
of the Council and in accordance with their determination and motion at
the regular adjourned meeting of May 31, 1960.
Mayor Camphouse announced that the subject matter was not a hearing,
inasmuch as the hearing had been held on May 17, 1960, and that
discussions relative to the matter would be limited to the terms and
conditions upon which a permit might be granted.

Mr. Wesley Davies, General Manager of Rancho Santa Anita, addressed the
Council and requested the City Attorney to read in its entirety said
Resolution No. 3264, to which request Councilman Phillips stated that
such a procedure is possible, but is a matter of determination by the
Council.
To Councilman Butterworth's inquiry as to whether there was not some
misunderstanding regarding Mayor Camphouse's statement that discussion
on the resolution. would be limited, he was advised by Mayor Camphouse
that such procedure had been determined at the adjourned regular meeting
of May 31, 1960. The City Attorney commented that he was of the opinion
that although this is not a hearing at which evidence would be received,
it would be proper to hear arguments on the adoption of the resolution
itself as well as on the conditions stated therein.
At Mayor Camphouse's request the City Attorney then read in its entirety
Resolution No. 3264.

The City Clerk then read in its entirety a communication from Dr. R. H.
Hutchinson, 724 Fairview Avenue, Arcadia, which stated in substance that
Council is to be commended for their first action in rejecting the
license for the Shumaker bowling alley. (Communication on file in
office of the City Clerk).
: ,
The following persons addressed the Council:
Mr. Richard W. Callaway, 894 Fallen Leaf Road, Arcadia, read a prepazed
statement which in substance stated that if Council adopts the above
resolution it will, in his opinion, be discriminatory in that they
previously denied his request for a business permit to operate a bowling
alley adjacent to the El Rancho shopping center. Said statement ~lso
mentioned various points in Resolution No. 3261 with which he disagreed
and requested that Council substitute what in his opinion would be
consistency for discrimination. (Statement on file in office of the
City Clerk).
Mr. Lawrence E. Borquin, owner of property at 645 Fairview Avenue,
requested the Council to give the matter further consideration before
adopting said Resolution No. 3264.

Mr. J. R. Phares, 1019 Panorama Drive, read a communication from
Dr. J. Davis Barnard of the Arcadia Presbyterian Church, written to
clarify his previous communication regarding the subject matter, stating
in part that Dr. Barnard felt this enterprise would be injurious to
the community; also that it is presumptious in his opinion for work to
progress on this property before the issue is finally settled by the
Counc i 1.
Mr. Leland L. Dills, 1055 Panorama Drive, stated in part that he is the
President of the Citrus Belt Bowling Proprietors Association and also
proprietor of a 32-lane bowling alley in Rialto, said building I
containing 37,000 square feet, situated on five acres and having 387 _
parking stalls. He continued in part, that he did not believe the -
proposed location on Baldwin Avenue has sufficient parking area excludi
the Market parking area; that during the racing season it will be almos
impossible to move 120 cars in that area around 6:00 P.M. He also
mentioned that the American Machine and Foundary Company and the
Brunswick Co. were the promo tors respectively of the bowling alley at
the El Rancho location and the subject Baldwin Avenue location; that
this was a matter of speculation with said promotors and the location
first receiving permission would be the only location backed by the
respective promoters as, in his opinion, they would not back two bowling
alleys in such close proximity. Mr. Dills also mentioned a communication
from Mr. Cole of Brunswick to the Council explaining the situation. He
concluded by stating in substance that in his opinion Council should
make the same determination in both instances one way or another.
Mr. Wesley Davies stated in substance that in his opinion the reasons
given for denying the application of the El Rancho Bowling Alley were
applicable in this instance.
To Councilman Phillip's inquiry as to the receiver of the alleged
communication from a Mr. Cole or from a Mr. Bryant, he was advised
by the City Manager, City Clerk and the Planning Secretary that no such
letter had been received in their respective offices.
In the general discussion that ensued, Councilman Phillips commented
in substance that he had not been present at the hearing on the El Rancho
Bowling Alley matter; that he had voted against the Shumaker application
on May 17, 1960 and subsequently changed his vote when the City Attorney
advised that there were insufficient findings upon which to base Council's
denial. He added that at that time he had been concerned with the
possibility of speculation, as referred to by Mr. Dill, and had insisted,
as a condition of changing his vote, that certain restrictions be
incorporated in the resolution, such as time to file the plot plan and
the commencement of work after the plan was approved, and that he had
heard nothing at this meeting to convince him that his last decision
was wrong.
Councilman Butterworth stated in part that he had voted yes on both I
applications after considering the economic situation, whereby if the
bowling alley was not permitted to operate in Arcadia it could do so 0
the outskirts, thus causing the City to lose both the receipt of revenu
and the control of the enterprise as to hours of operation, method of
operation, severance of the cocktail bar from the concourse and the
prohibition of the sale of liquor on the concourse. He added that
personally he could not distinguish between the two applications; that
the sale of liquor is not within the jurisdiction of the Cancil; that
in his opinion, to say the bowling alleys were not commensurate with
their neighborhoods is to pervert the City's license ordinance into a
zoning statute, and that the statement that the City has enough bowling
alleys is an interference with private enterprise. He continued that
he did not know'what could be done about the El Rancho Bowling Alley
application as it had already been denied by resolution. That with
regard to the subject matter, he felt that Council is compelled to
grant this applicant a permit for a business license to operate a bowling
alley.

Motion by Councilman Balser, seconded by Councilman Reibold and carried
unanimously that Council accept the recommendation of the Planning
Commission as contained in its Resolution No. 374 and grant a zone
variance to Rico Land and Investment Company to allow the storage,
dressing and processing of nutria skins upon property located at
126-128 Wheeler Avenue, and that the City Attorney be instructed to
draw the proper resolutioIlAn ,accordance therewith.
Planning Commission Resolut1i.on.t No. 375, recommending denial without
prejudice of the application of John W. Hunter and G. M. Shumaker for
a zone variance to allow a bowling alley to encroach into the PR-3
Zone at 1020-30 South Baldwin Avenue.
The City Attorney pointed out that the applicants had requested their I
application be withdrawn but that the City's ordinance makes no
provision for the withdrawal of an application; that after 'the Planning
Commission had held a hearing on the matter and while the matter was
under advisement the applicants had requested the withdrawal of their
application and that the resolution of the Planning Commission was
merely to terminate the proceedings, deny the application without
prejudice to the consideration of any future applications which might
be made.
Whereupon Councilman Phillips moved that Council accept the recommendation
of the Planning Commission and deny without prejudice the application of
John W. Hunter and G. M. Shumaker for a zone variance to allow a bowling
alley to encroach into the PR-3 Zone at 1020-30 South Baldwin Avenue,
and that the City Attorney be instructed to draw the proper resolution
in accordance therewith. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion and it
was carried unanimously.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 376, recommending the granting of
the application of William A. Behrens for a zone variance to permit
the storage of new automobiles at 151 Alta Street in Zone PR-3.
Councilman Balser commented that in his opinion this is actually a
business. That protests had been received by the Planning Commission
from residents in the area against the granting of the zone variance in
that they did not want a business pattern to be started in this area.
The City Manager advised that other properties in the general vicinity
are used for parking of automobiles to meet business needs and that
applicant needs parking space for his own automobiles pending their
sale. That certain restrictions will apply in this matter, among them
being that an ornamental concrete block wall of from four to six feet
in height is to be constructed around the lot except for the south
five feet and abutting parkway on Alta Street which shall be landscaped
and maintained.
Councilman Phillips stated that in his opinion this is consistent
with good planning practice and the present and prospective development
of the neighborhood in which the property is located, and that he move
that Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission and
grant the application of William A, Behrens for a zone variance to
permit the storage of new automobiles at 151 Alta Street in Zone PR-3.

seconded by Councilman Reibold and carried unanimously.
The Director of Public Works advised that in the design and acce~tance
of Tract No. 25368, located on Ninth Avenue, a 10 foot wide drainage
easement was dedicated to the City to provide for a drain line from the
end of the street into the Santa Anita Wash. That this 10 foot easement
was located six feet on the south side of a full size lot and four feet
on a partial lot remaining along the south boundary of the tract. That
the six foot easement has made it difficult to locate the garage on the
lot and arrangements have been made to move the drain pipe further south.
He added that the subdivider has given the

Whereupon Councilman Balser moved that the City Council authorize the
Mayor and City Clerk to execute a quit claim deed to release four feet
. of the present easement in this matter, Councilman Phillips seconded
the motion and it was carried unanimously.
The City Manager advised that in June, 1958 Ordinance No. 1015 was
adopted providing that, if and when curb and gutter was constructed on
Fifth Avenue, the property on the west side of Fifth Avenue between
Huntington Drive and the Pacific Electric Railroad right of way would
be placed in Zones C-M and D. That at that time it was contemplated
the curb and gutter would be constructed by the property owners. That
now a project is being prepared by the City of Monrovia which will
provide the required curb and gutter.
'j
That the City at this time has an application from D. B. Milliken
Company to add an office addition to the front of their building at
131 N. Fifth Avenue and a permit cannot be issued until the zoning is
actually effective, and that it is the recommendation of the Director of
Public Works that because the curb and gutter will be constructed with
the improvement of Fifth Avenue that an ordinance be adopted now actually
changing the zone. Also that a resolution setting up the requirements
of Zone D be adopted.
The City Attorney stated that he had prepared an ordinance in this
connection. Whereupon he presented, explained the content and read the
title of Ordinance No. 1086, entitled: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, RECLASSIFYING CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY
ON THE WEST SIDE OF NORTH FIFTH AVENUE TO ZONES C-M AND D (ARCHITECTURAL

370 feet west of its intersection with Santa Anita Avenue and prohibiting
parking on the south side of Foothill Boulevard between Tindalo Road and
Santa Anita Avenue in order that the State Division of Highways may
recommend to Sacramento the painting of left turn lanes at said inter-
section. Councilman Butterworth seconded the motion.
A general discussion ensued. Mayor Camphouse stated in part that in
his opinion this action would not solve the problem of excessive speed
on Foothill Boulevard; that although this matter had been discussed with
the State many times no action has been taken in this regard.
The Director of Public Works advised that he and the Chief of Police
spent a great deal of time on this problem and that in his opinion,
concurred in by the Chief of Police, the aforesaid left turn lanes
would at least eliminate rear end collisions.
~dl
It was the consensus of the Council that the traffic flow pattern on
Foothill is so fast that a left hand turn can only be made on the
yellow light and that it might be suggested to the State that a 3-way
control system be installed.
A roll call vote was then taken as follows:
AYES: Councilmen Balser, Butterworth, Reibold, Phillips
NOES: Mayor camphouse

Councilman Balser requested that the State be contacted relative to a
left hand turn pocket at Rancho Road and requested the City Manager to
discuss the matter with the Chief of Police and the Director of Public
Works. He also stated that the Police Department has records of the
traffic flow on Foothill Blvd. and that this matter should again be
activated, and suggested that the matter be placed on agenda.
Motion by Councilman Phillips, seconded by Councilman Reibold and carried
unanimously that Council approve the recommendation of the City Manager
and the Director of Public Works and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk
to execute an agreement, in form approved by the City Attorney, covering
the routine maintenance of 16 street lights located on Las Tunas Drive
and Baldwin Avenue, between Live Oak Avenue and Palm Drive, which street
lights were included within the territory acquired by the City in
Annexation No. 17-A (Baldwin Avenue); said service to cost the City
approximately $20.00 per month; and that the sum of $240.00 be provided
in Account No. 433-43 of the 1960-61 budget.
Mayor camphouse suggested that the matter of the report on lot split
procedure be taken under advisement. Whereupon Councilman Reibold moved
that it be taken under advisement for two weeks. Councilman Balser
seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously.

parking lots on Wheeler Street between Santa Anita and First Avenue
for a Sutton Shows Circus; date for same being tentatively set for
the first or second week in August. Said communication also stated
that the show will write a $300,000 liability and $5,000 property damage
policy.
A general discussion ensued. Mr. John W. Bell, Chairman of the Circus
Promotion Committee, summarized the conduct of the show, stating in
part that it will attract people from surrounding communities who will
patronize the stores in Arcadia; that said show had been held in
Monrovia for the past three years and that Monrovia had waived the
license fee.
The City Attorney commented that since this show will be conducted by a
privately owned and operated concern, under Ordinance No. 823, they
would not be entitled to a waiver of the license fee. He also suggested
that the matter be discussed with the Board of Directors of the Vehicle
Parking District in question.
Councilman Butterworth stated in part that in his opinion the amount of
the liability insurance mentioned is inadequate; that liability insurance
at the upper level is inexpensive. Councilman Phillips commented that
he could see little difference between this circus and the request of
the Rotary Club to sponsor a rodeo, which request had been denied. He
added that the circus held at Hinsha~s', was on private property, much
smaller in scope, did not involve any acts as described in the subject
circus; also that it was a profit ~king venture in connection with
demonstration of their own wares. Councilman Reibold expressed a doubt
as to the sufficiency of parking facilities for the patrons of the circus
since the circus would be making use of the parking lots,
It was also pointed out that the employees of the circus who lived in
trailers must park such trailers in trailer camps outside the City of
Arcadia.
Councilman Butterworth then moved that the matter be referred to the
Staff for investigation and recommendation as expediently as possible
and that in the interim the matter be cleared with the Board of Directors
of the Parking District in question. Councilman Balser seconded the
motion and it was carried on roll call vote as follows:

Mr. H. C. 'TimUlty. owner of Rounds Floor Coverings, addressed the
Council, regarding the award of a carpeting contract for the new City
Library, for which his company had tendered a bid.
He stated in part, that Rounds' bid was $23,812.34 for 1990 square
yards, including state and local sales tax, on Lee's carpeting;
that Angelus Floor Covering of Los Angeles had bid $23,700.00 for
2000 square yards of Bigelow, which bid had not stated that it
included state and local sales tax. That although Bigelow carpeting f
was specified, and he could have bid on it, being an authorized I
distributor of all the brands of carpet which fit the bi9 sPecificatio
he had quoted Lee's Bondsett because it had a slightly higher pile '
and more rows to the inch than Bigelow Gropoint. "J
He also mentioned that acceptance of Rounds' bid would result in a
sales tax refund to the City of approximately $206.96 which would
make their bid lower than that of Angelus Floor Covering.
A general discussion ensued. Mr. Tumilty was advised that there was
no argument as to the relative quality of the carpeting bid upon by
the two low bidders; however, that Bigelow carpeting was specified
as the criteria and that Angelus had bid on it whereas Rounds' bid
on another make; that both the Architect and the Librarian had stated
that all things being equal, they preferred the Bigelow carpeting
because of the color.

That with reference to Hr. Timulty's statement,.with,:regard' to 'state and
local sales 'tax, according to the bid specifications all prices were
f,'o.b. Arcadia Public Library installed in place and that it was assumed
that sales tax was included in the bid price unless the bidder.
specifically stated the price to be exclusive of sales tax in a stated
amount.
That with reference to Mr. Tirnulty's contention that his bid would
actually be lower than the Angelus bid for the reason that the City
would get the sales tax rebate on Rounds, it was explained that Arcadia
does not get the full one cent rebate as the State Board charges for
,the collection and accounting of local sales tax, and that an indirect
benefit is not properly considered in determining a low bidder, although
it might be a factor in choosing between identical low bids.
To Mr. Timulty's statement that he had written a letter to the City
Manager on March 22, 1960 covering the City on three different types
of carpeting, he was advised that said letter had not been included by
Rounds as part of the bid, nor had he specified in his bid that he would
furnish either one of the three types of carpeting, but had specifically
bid on Lee's carpeting.
Mr. Timulty also mentioned that he had been advised that had the purchase
of furnishings for the library been handled through the City's Purchasing
Department a savings of ,7% could have been effected. He was advised that
the purchasing of furnishings for the library was part of the contract
with the Architect and therefore could not be purchased through the
Purchasing Department.
It being the consensus of the Council that it would be inequitable at
this time to change the award of the bid on the carpeting, because of
the various reasons given, CounCilman Phillips moved that further
discussion on the matter cease. Councilman Reibold seconded the matter
and it was carried on roll call vote as follows:

Mr. D. H. Johnson, 250 W. Camino Real, requested an explanation of the
remark made earlier that purchasing of furniture and fixtures through
some other means could have effected a savings of 7% to the City.
The City Manager explained that it had been the consensus of those
involved in the negotiation of the contract with the architect for the
library that the choice of furnishings would have a major effect on the
appearance of the library and therefore the responsibility of drawing
specifications for such furnishings would be his and the choice
thereof under his jurisdiction.

the contractor shall have no right of entry prior to October IS, 1960
upon the northeasterly portion of the library site, and that he will
