The Director of Public Works commented that this covers the resurfacing of Colorado from Second to Fifth Avenues, and Golden West north from Huntington Drive to its terminus. Motion by Councilman Reibold, seconded by Councilman Balser and carried on roll call vote as follows that the reading of the full body of Resolution No. 3275 be waived: AYES: Councilmen Balser, Butterworth, Reibold, Camphouse NOES: None ABSENT: Councilman Phillips Councilman Reibold further moved that Resolution No. 3275 be adopted, Motion seconded by Councilman Balser and carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: Councilmen Balser, Butterworth, Reibold, Camphouse NOES: None ABSENT: Councilman Phillips No. 288 - Ray DuShane, 42 West Grandview Avenue No. 289 - Ethel Ziegler, 34 West Grandview Avenue The Director of Public Works advised that the above related lot splits were recommended for approval, subject to certain conditions; that condition 7 was to add 15 feet more ground to Lot split 289 to make the lot 100 feet wide. However, at the Council meeting of April 5, 1960, Mr. Ziegler stated that the additional 15 feet on No. 289 would unreasonably reduce the avail- able yard area; also that Mr. Dushane had stated that the cul de sac was taking too much of his land. That the matter was held to give the owners an opportunity to work out details. The Director of Public Works continued that he and the Planning Secretary )XUDE4Enhad visited the Ziegler property and were inclined to agree with the owner that the 15 foot strip was desirable to be left with the north portion of the lot; that with regard to the cul de sac a redesign was made, the curve of the curb line was started further south in the old portion of the El Vista Circle, thus not extending so far into the new lots and that he had approved this design. I Recommendation of the Director of Public Works that since the new lot on the Ziegler property will contain an area of 7936 square feet after the street dedication (minimum lot depth approximately 76') and the DuShane lot contains 16,768 square feet (above required minimum), said lot splits be approved, subject to all the conditions specified on March 22,1960 except No.7, as follows: 1. File a final map for each lot split with the City Engineer. 2. Provide a sewer lateral for each lot split. 3. Dedicate 5 feet for widening of Grandview Avenue along each lot. 4. Dedicate a standard 40' radius cul de sac for extension of El Vista Circle. 5. The cuI de sac at El Vista Circle shall be improved with standard curb, gutter, pavement, water service and sewer service. 6. Pay $25.00 recreation fee for each lot split. 7. The City shall accept the offer of "future street" at the present end of El Vista Circle. 3. 7-5-60 SO/.f tf (Lot Splits Nos. 288 & 289 - Continued) STREET NAME (Hun tington) AWARD OF BID (Widening of Baldwin Ave.) a.NDEXED 1bg~ Whereupon Councilman Reibold moved that Council accept the recommendation of the Director of Public Works and the Planning Secretary and indicate its intention to approve Lot Split No. 288 - Ray'DuShane, 42 West Grandview Avenue and Lot Split No. 289 - Ethel Ziegler, 34 West Grandview Avenue, upon compliance with the conditions outlined above. Councilman'Balser seconded the motion which was carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: Councilmen Balser and Reibold ABSTAINED: Councilman Butterworth (because of the hearing date) NO: Mayor Camphouse ABSENT: Councilman Phillips A discussion ensued regarding Councilman Butterworth's abstention on his I understanding that a public hearing had been held on this matter prior to his becoming a member of the Council. It was pointed out that there' had been no noticed hearing on the matter and no jurisdictional factor wa involved; that presently Councilman Butterworth had before him all the information available. Councilman Butterworth indicated that because he had not had the benefit of personally hearing the arguments for and against the applications and not knowing what action he would have taken he felt obliged to abstain. Councilman Butterworth then requested the City Attorney to rule on the issue of there being a quorum present and a two to one vote in favor of permitting the lot splits. Reference was made to section 412 of the City Charter, after which the City Attorney stated that as section 29 of the Subdivision Ordinance No. 860 states that ".,..the City Council may, by the vote of a majority of its members entered in the Council minutes, approve, disapprove or modify such proposed division of single lots..," it will require the affirmative vote of the majority of the membership of the Council rather than just a majority of the quorum. Whereupon Mayor Camphouse ordered the matter continued until a majority vote of the entire membership of the Council is reached. A general discussion was held regarding the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the name of Huntington Boulevard, from Michillinda Avenue to Holly Avenue, be changed to Huntington Drive. It was stated that the Postmaster had suggested changing the name of Huntington Boulevard to Huntington Drive to eliminate confusion. It was suggested that the Council give the matter further consideration, particularly a more permanent solution than just changing the name of the portion mentioned. Whereupon Councilman Reibold moved that the matter be referred to staff for a report to the Council at the next Council meeting, with particular consideration being given to Huntington Place. Councilman Butterworth seconded the motion which was carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: Councilmen Balser, Butterworth, Reibold, Camphouse NOES: None ABSENT: Councilman Phillips I Recommendation of the City Manager and the Director of Public Works that with regard to the follOWing bids received July 5, 1960 for the widening of Baldwin Avenue, between Duarte Road and Camino Real (project to be financed with budgeted State Gas Tax Funds) that the City Council award the contract to the low bidder Attwood and Pursel: Attwood & Pursell American Asphalt paving Co.

A general discussion ensued. The City Attorney commented that action, if any were taken, would be upon the request that partial rezoning be established. It was stated that Mr. Anderson had objected to the sub- division layout as proposed by the Planning Commission some time ago; that it was proposed that the rear end of the properties would be R-l and the front R-3 and that it was set aside until the zoning of the north side of Duarte Road was resolved. After further discussion Councilman Balser moved that this matter be held over until some future date for further study. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion which was carried unanimously. 5. 7- 5-60 3'04(0 ARCADIA AVE.

(Traffic) l!nDE4i,;iJ s/~~ RESOLUTION No. 3276 lNDEXED To Councilman Reibold's query as to the so-called point of no return in such proceedings, so that the matter of the rezoning of the north side of Duarte Road may be considered, the City Attorney answered that it would be after Council's Resolution of Intention declaring the district formed, which resolution can be presented at the next council meeting if the hearing on the Resqlution of Intention is concluded. Such a' resolution would authorize the acquisition of the property and the filing of the necessary condemnation action. When summons is issued and notice recordel it becomes a matter of public record. Thereafter the Council can proceed with the related matter of zoning as such proceedings cannot be defeated thereafter. That the hearing set by said Resolution of Intention should be no later than a month after the adoption of said resolution, and barri an extensive desire on the part of those affected to be heard, the hearing should be completed that same night. Mayor Camphouse stated that this would also answer Mr. Carl Pearson's communication regarding the rezoning of the north side of Duarte Road (item 5c on this agenda) and requested the City Manager to inform Mr. Pearson to this effect. With regard to traffic safety on Foothill Boulevard, particularly that section between Michillinda and Santa Anita, the City Manager stated that the City Attorney had prepared for Council's consideration a resolution to be forwarded to the Division of Highways, Department of Public Works, of 'the State of california, and to all agencies or individuals concerned, requesting action be taken to reduce the high accident and injury rate on Foothill Boulevard in Arcadia by reducing the speed limit on said street and by the installation of signalling devices and left-turn bays. To Councilman Balser's suggestion that substantiating data be attached to such resolution showing the number of injuries and accidents that have occurred in that area in a certain length of time the City Attorney advised that said resolution incorporated the fact that the records of the City show a total of 104 traffic collisions, involving 70 personal injuries and one fatality having occurred since January 1, 1959 on said street within the boundaries of the City of Arcadia. The City Attorney then presented and read the title of Resolution No. 3276, entitled: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, REQUESTING THE DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS, DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION TO REDUCE THE SPEED LIMIT AND INSTALL TRAFFIC SIGNALS ON FOOTHILL BOULEVARD, EASTERLY OF MICHILLINDA AVENUE." .
