Mayor Camphouse called for Item 2 on pending agenda, and Councilman
'Phillips advised that he had received a telephone call from Mr. Carl
Pearson inquiring as to the status of his request to convert a building
at 427 West Duarte Road into rental units, which request had been placed
on pending until the outcome of deliberations on the improvement or
opening of Arcadia Avenue.
A general discussion ensued. Mayor Camphouse stated that the above
matter also tied in with Item 1 on pending agenda regarding the rezoning
of Duarte Road between Holly Avenue and the commercial zone near Baldwin
Avenue. The Director of Public Works advised that deliberations had
progressed in ~he matter to the extent that plans and specifications were
completed and contracts ready to be let approximately the latter part of
October or early in November of 1960 for the commencement of work on the
opening of Arcadia Avenue. Councilman Phillips suggested that Mr. Pearson
be apprised of this situation.
Mayor Camphouse requested a staff report be submitted to the Council at
the next meeting covering the time table and status of the matter.
Motion by Councilman Reibold, seconded by Councilman Balser and carried
unanimously that the minutes of the Regular Adjourned Meeting of May 31,
1960 be corrected by the insertion of a "No" vote for Councilman Balser
on page 6, last paragraph; and as thus corrected and submitted in writing,
be approved; also that the minutes of the Regular Meeting of June 8, 1960
as submitted in writing be approved.
Councilman Balser advised that at a luncheon which Mayor Camp house and he
attended on June 21, 1960, in Pasadena, of the San Gabriel Valley Branch
of the American Cancer Society, Arcadia had been honored by the presen-
tation of a plaque acknowledging Arcadia's outstanding service in the
cause of Cancer Control during the Society's annual campaign in 1960, and
that he had accepted said plaque on behalf of the City. He offered it
to the City Manager for display in the City Hall.
Councilman Balser then acknowledged the presence in the audience of Mrs.
Charles Vance, the Residential Chairman for Arcadia of the Cancer Drive,
adding that she had been to a great degree responsible for the said award
to the City of Arcadia.
Mayor Camp house declared the hearing open on the proposed budget for the
fiscal year 1960-61. The City Clerk advised that notice of the hearing
on the proposed 1960-1961 budget had been published and that copies of
the proposed budget have been on file in her office and available for
lHDELm

public inspection, all as required by the City Charter. The Mayor
inquired if anyone desired to be heard on the matter,
Mr. Robert Whitmore, Jr., 512 Santa Maria Road, addressed the Council
and questioned the effect on the tax rate of the proposed increase in
property assessed valuation contemplated by the Los Angeles County
Assessor as reported in the Arcadia Tribune and the anticipated use
of the additional revenue by the City,
General discussion was held, wherein it was stated in part that the
newspaper article is not official; that the City, in estimating and
preparing the budget, had contemplated approximately a five million
dollar increase in assessed valuation; that there had been discussion I
of increasing the assessed valuation on land in certain areas of the
City, this being a continuing program throughout the year. That if the .'
proposed increase becomes an actuality, approximately five million
dollars has already been contemplated and that based on the present tax
rate of $1.10 (maintained since 1953) this would be equivalent to
approximately $55,000.00 on a total budget of about three million dollars;
that the proposed budget is not a balanced budget in the sense that the
tax dollars alone will support it, since it calls for a transfer of present
funds in the treasury of approximately $79,553.00 which exceeds the
$55,000.00 referred to in the newspaper as a "windfall", That had this
been known in advance and considered it would have resulted in a smaller
transfer of surplus funds.
Councilman Reibold stated in part that he personally is opposed to
deficit financing and that in his opinion, if the level of service is
to be continued, other sources of revenue must be explored; that this
is what the City had in mind when Ordinance No. 1071 was proposed; that
the alternative is to turn to tax revenue.
Mr. Whitmore suggested that a possessory interest tax could be imposed
upon apartment house residents, so they would carry a more equitable
share of the tax burden. Mr, Whitmore was thanked for his interest,
There being no one else desiring to address the Council, Councilman
Phillips moved that the hearing be closed, which motion was seconded
by Councilman Reibold and carried unanimously.
Councilman Phillips pointed out that there is a difference in the salary
rate for supervisors in the Recreation Department as set forth in the
budget and as recommended by the Personnel Board, and the City Attorney
replied that under the Salary Resolution and the resolution adopting the
budget, temporary help can be employed at any figure less than the stated
rate.
The City Manager recommended that the forthcoming Resolution No, 3268,
adopting the budget, be amended by adding to section 3 thereof the
following sentence: "That if the City Manager determines that there are I
moneys in any such category of a department in excess of the amounts
required for all budgeted items within such major category, he may,
without further councilmanic action, direct a transfer of all or any
portion of such excess moneys to any other major category or categories
within the same department." He added that the auditors had suggested
this procedure, with the exception that they had suggested such transfers
be authorized by the Controller. He also stated that such transfers will
be reflected in the monthly financial statements issued to the Council
and the press and in the end-of-the-year financial report and in the
annual audit.
The City Attorney then presented as drawn and previo~sly mailed to the
Council Resolution No.3268, entitled: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING OFFICIAL BUDGET FOR THE
FISCAL YEAR 1960-1961."

HEARING Mayor camphouse declared the hearing open on the application of Gordon
(Hough) E. Hough, 1009 South 5th Street, Alhambra, for a business permit to
conduct the Hough Patrol Service, and inquired if the applicant desired
ft}l~ to address the Council.
~ The applicant not being present, the City Manager recommended that the
11'lDEXEIl permit not be granted at this time, pending a report from the applicant
as to whether he still proposes to operate within the City of Arcadia
in view of some incidents that have occurred since he submitted his
original application, particularly with reference to one of his
employees.

There being no other nominations, Councilman Butterworth seconded the
motion which was carried unanimously,
Councilman Reibold placed in nomination and moved that Mr, J, Clayton
Schaefer, 901 Encanto Drive, be appointed to fill the vacancy created
on the 'Personnel Board by the end of the term of Frank J, Walton, who
had requested that he not be considered for reappointment due to the
press of personal business, for a term connnencing July 1, 1960 and'
terminating June 30, 1964. Councilman Balser seconded the motion and
it was carried unanimously,

Councilman Phillips placed in nomination and moved that Mr. Donald G,
Ehr, 215 West Pamela Road, be appointed to fill the remaining vacancy
on the Personnel Board to fill the vacancy created by L; D. Bonham,
his term to commence July 1, 1960 and terminate June 30, 1964.
Councilman Reibold seconded the motion which was carried unanimously.
Mayor Camphouse instructed the City Clerk to have prepared scrolls
for presentation to the outgoing members.
Mayor Camphouse connnented that he had received from the League of
Women Voters a list of names of various individuals for the various
board and connnission vacancies; that he was personally familiar with
some of the individuals and knew them to be very worthy people, but that
his personal reaction was that while the list represents a keen interest
on the part of the League and the people that serve Arcadia, in his
opinion it is far afield from the basic concept of the League's charter,
which sets forth that the League is basically a study organization and
does not enter into the specifics of politics.
He added that he had previously mentioned receipt of a connnunication
from the Board of Realtors suggesting that a member of the real estate
profession be placed on the Planning Connnission, and that he had also
previously expressed his opinion in that regard.
Councilman Phillips stated that he agreed with Mayor Camphouse as to the
list submitted by the League of Women Voters, it being helpful to the
Council to receive such names, which are filed for future reference and
consideration. That with regard to the suggestion of the Realty Board,
there is at the present time a member of the Planning Connnission working
with the real estate dealers in Arcadia, but that in his opinion,
because of the nature of the Planning Connnission there is an area of I
conflicting interest and that he would not favor the continuing practice
of placing a member of the real estate profession on the Planning
Connnis s ion,
Councilman Butterworth stated that he would not wish silence on his
part to be construed as acquiescence; that in his opinion there is a
lack of foundation as to the interpretation placed on the connnunication
from the League of Women Voters; that he had construed the letter to
be not in the nature of a mandate but an effort on the part of the
League to suggest a list of candidates; that he personally appreciated
the suggestions which Council is free to accept or reject; and that in
his opinion this was not political on the part of the League but rather
administrative.

Mrs. James E. Johnson, representing the League of Women Voters,
addressed the Council, and stated that she supported Councilman
Butterworth's comments; that the League had not intended being
political, but that the letter was intended to inform the Council of
the people considered by the League as being civic minded and well
qualified to serve on the various boards and commissions; that the
League had hoped the list would be kept on file for future reference.

The City Attorney presented for the second time Ordinance No.' 1085,
entitled: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, RECLASSIFYING CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1602-1616
SOUTH BALDWIN AVENUE FROM ZONE R-l TO ZONE R-3-R."
Mayor CaIDphouse stated that although a hearing had previously been
conducted on this matter he would permit the person who had requested
permission to be heard at this time.
Whereupon Mr. Irving M. Feigus, 4515 Don Phillipe Road, Los Angeles,
addressed the Council, advising that he was an attorney representing
Mr. Norman Greenberg, who is in escrow with the present owner of the
property at 1602 South Baldwin Avenue for the purchase of said
property.
I
Mr. Feigus then summarized the proceedings on the matter to date and
requested the Council to reconsider their determination to rezone the
said property to Zone R-3-R rather than Zone R-3 as originally
requested and as recommended by the Planning Commission.
Mr. Feigus added in substance that in his opinion Zone R-3 would be
more beneficial and applicable to the area than Zone R-3-R; that the
restrictions on Zone R-3-R would result in an unequitable return to
the investor inasmuch as the high rent which of necessity would have to
be charged for an apartment in an R-3-R zone would not appeal to the
type of individual who could afford to pay such rent since he would
not wish to live in that area.

Mayor Camphouse took exception to the implied criticism that there was
a differentiation between the residents of Arcadia and informed Mr.
Feigus that he felt his reasoning and logic were unfounded.
A general discussion ensued. Councilman Butterworth requested that the
matter go over to the next meeting to permit him an opportunity to
personally view the area. Councilman Reibold commented that he had no
objection to the matter going over but that he had voted against the
R-3-R zoning because in essence he felt that Zone R-3 with its increased
standards was more applicable to the area in question.
The City Attorney pointed out that Council has under consideration the
large area across the street from the property in question; that the
action to be taken here and action pending before them on another much
larger area, involving particularly the west side of Baldwin Avenue in
the same location, cannot be divorced; that the gradation contemplated
on the east side of Baldwin Avenue in this area is a logical gradation
from R-l to R-3 to R-3-R and then on down still further, but that this
perfectly normal gradation can be colored by contrary action on the
opposite side of the street. That Council might wish to make their
decision contemporaneously on both sides of the street because they are
related.
Mrs. Lillian A. Moriarty, owner of the property at 1616 Soutn Baldwin
Avenue, and one pf the applicants in the reclassification request,
addressed the Council, stating in part that she had been unable to sell
her property when it was Zone R-l and felt that zoning it R-3-R would
not improve the situation.
Councilman Phillips and Councilman Balser both stated that they had no
objection to holding over action on the adoption of Ordinance No. 1085
until another meeting.
Mayor Camphouse called for a three minute recess.
Upon Council's return from the recess, Mayor Camphouse called for a
motion on the above matter, Whereupon Councilman Reibold moved that
action on Ordinance No. 1085 be deferred for a future meeting. Council-
man Phillips seconded the motion which was carried unanimously.
The City Attorney presented for the second time, explained the content
and read the title of Ordinance No. 1086, entitled: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE

Motion by Councilman Phillips, seconded by Councilman Reibold'and carried
unanimously that Council accept the recommendation of the Director of
Public Works and the Planning' Secretary and that final approval be
granted the lot splits set forth above, as all conditions imposed have
been met.
Charlotte L. Sutton, 1030 portola Drive
Applicant's lot is triangular containing approximately 12,000 square feet
with a frontage of 190 feet, and in Zone R-l. Because of the R-3 lot to
the south, the zoning ordinance would allow a duplex on this lot; however
deed restrictions prohibit a duplex but would allow two Single family
houses. Planning Commission recommends denial as 6000 square feet is not
in keeping with the homes in the area.
The City Clerk read a communication dated June 21, 1960 from the Santa
Anita Village Community Association objecting to the lot split, The City
Clerk also advised that a communication dated June 16, 1960 had been
received from the applicant requesting an opportunity to address the
Council in regard to this matter, (Communication on file in the office
of the City Clerk).
~~~uPon being granted permission, Mrs. Charlotte L. Sutton addressed the
Council, stating in part that the property is not suitable for a growing
family due to its close proximity to heavy traffic. That if Rancho Santa
Anita would waive the deed restrictions an R-2 zoning could be secured and
two houses of 1200 square feet, suitable for adults, could be constructed,
and that she would welcome suggestions as to what could be done with the
lot as it is the only unimproved lot left in the Village,

Mr, Charles G, Bon Eske, 1011 portola Drive, addressed the Council, stating
in part that zoning restrictions were clearly set forth for both the
builders and buyers in that area; that in his opinion the residents of
said area were happy with the restrictions and that the Planning Commission
had denied an application for permission to build two houses on said lot
two years ago, and that he did not favor a lot split,
Councilman Reibold stated in part that he did not feel that Council could
place itself in the position of abrogating deed restrictions, and moved
that Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission and deny

The Director of Public Works advised that with regard to Planning Commission
recommendations relative to zoning to be applied to Annexation No. 14 and
a portion of Annexation No. 17-A as contained in their Resolutions No, 362
and 364, which had been referred back to them for further consideration,
the Planning Commission reaffirmed its recommendation contained in
Resolution No. 364 relative to a portion of Annexation No. 17-A and
recommends that the Council proceed with its adoption. That with regard to
Resolution No. 362 relative to Annexation No. 14, various requests and
proposed plans have been submitted for the use of the land and further
public hearings are to be held before the Planning Commission, after which
a recommendation will be forthcoming.

(Annexation

Zoning) ,
The Director of Public Works displayed 'a map of the area and outlined the
property on the west side of Baldwin Avenue northerly of Lemon, excluding'
,that included within Annexation 14, as the portion of Annexation No. 17-A
; in question.
. I :.~. ~.~.
The City Attorney summarized the proceedings on the matter to'date, to wit:
That Annexation No, 17-A was one of the largest inhabited annexations
performed by the City; that the zoning was not predetermined prior to the
annexation and it came in all as R-l, the area then being broken into
three large areas for consideration and recommendation to the Council.
That action had been taken on the lower segment some time ago and recently I
action was taken on the segment abutting Duarte Road. The intervening
segment was referred back to the Planning Commission, and at this point
the Planning Commission has reaffirmed its former recommendation as to the
balance of 17-A.
Whereupon Councilman Balser moved that the Council accept the recommendation
of the planning Commission with respect to that portion of Annexation 17-A
as contained in its Resolution No, 364 and that the City Attorney be' ,
instructed to prepare an ordinance classifying the property in accordarice
therewith, Councilman Reibold seconded the motion which was carried on

FOOTHILL The City Manager advised that contact had been made by the School District

It was proposed that this street be extended from the southerly boundary
line of the property now o\n>ed by the City School systen to the northerly
boundary of the Junior !Ii3h School plant site, a distance of approximately
600 feet; that if it were to become a part of the City street system it
,~' should have a right of way width of not less than 60 feet and a paved
street width of 40 feet, the improvements to consist of pavement, curbs", ,~'
gutters and an allowance for 10 foot parkways on either side with" -
provisions on the east side adjacent to the school for a five foot
marginal sidewalk,
He added that the westerly 30 feet of the proposed 60 foot right of way
is a private street, owned and maintained by the abutting property owners.
That said 0wners have refused to dedicate the property to the City or to
the School and if the City or the School wishes to acquire the property
they will have to do so by purchase or condemnation,
The Director of Public Works then stated that he could not recommend that
the City accept Oakhaven Lane as a dedicated public street until such time
as it meets design standards and policies adhered to by the City for many
years.
In the general discussion that followed it was stated that a future problem
could develop regarding a proposed subdivision at the end of the street
which would have no access Over public ways to the rest of the city. It
was also noted that if the school were to move over 30 feet on its own
property it would be deprived of prime land.'
After further discussion it was the consensus of the Council, and the
City Manager was requested to so advise the school officials, that the
City cannot accept the street in its present status as a public street;
that it will be necessary for the school either to move over 30 feet onto
its own property or proceed to acquire that portion necessary from the
owners of the private street. That should such acquisition be necessary,
in the opinion of the Council, condemnation proceeding costs would be
nominal since the owners \iould not be deprived of anything.
ALLEY Motion by Councilman Phillips, seconded by Councilman Reibold and carried
IMPROVEMENTS unanimously that the Council accept the recommendation of the City Manager
(Live Oak Ave.)and the Director of Public Works and that the improvements of the alley,weft
of Second Avenue and north of Live Oak Avenue, which have been satisfactorily
~~ completed, be accepted for maintenance by the City and that the eaah bond

improvements, be released,
LIBRARY

g~
the City Manager advised that the Southern California Edison Company has
requested the City to grant an easement over the westerly ten feet 6f the
library site so that they may serve the hew library and ~ke possi51e tne
removal of the poles from the center me~ian of Santa Anita Avenue.
He added that by early 1961 the only need,'for the wood poles along ~tte
Road will be for street lighting but that the pole at the southwest
corner of Duarte Road and Santa Anita Avenue may have to remai~ tor s~
time pending right of way negotiations east of Santa Anita Avetiut d1~rig
Duarte Road. Also that curb realignment along Duarte Road, adjacent f~
the library was proposed to coincide with the completion of thaf 9fruefur~;
and that in conjunction with the foregoing, the instaliation of sfeej
street light standards in the area of the library is recommended; ffiaf
five such steel poles are estimated to be necessary at a cost of $6j~:6&: ~
To Councilman Phillips inquiry as to the possibility of underground
installation, it was stated that eventually this would probably be done,
Councilman Reibold then moved that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized
to execute a grant of easement to the Southern California Edison Company
in form approved by the City Attorney and that the Director of Public Works
be authorized to carry out the project as outlined above, Councilman

The City Manager advised that Perl iter and Soring, Consulting Engineers,

this project was $566,800.00 and a preliminary estimated cost submitted by
said Consulting Engineers is $669,452,00. That the District policy for the
preparation of plans and specifications for a storm dr~;n project states
that the estimated construction cost is 'to be limited to the allocated bond
issue amounts, That it is therefore requested that the City indicate the
deletion of a portion of the project to bring the cost within the allocated
amount, said deletion to be shown as alternates to be included as a portion
of the contract after receipt of bids by the Flood Control District.
That a review of the plans by the Public Works staff and the Consulting
Engineers indicate that the following portions of the drain be recommended
for deletion:
A, Deletion of a portion of the line located on Old Ranch Road,
northerly from Huntington Drive, estimated cost - $39,123.00;
B. Deletion of the portion of the line located on Las Flores Avenue,
westerly of First Avenue, estimated cost - $63,839.00.
