Planning Commission for approval was not carried and for that reason the
matter is referred to the Council without recommendation.

Planning Commission Golisch, the liaison between the Planning Commission
, l~ and the Council, advised that the principal objections of the Planning

t? removal of certain buildings,

A general discussion ensued. The City Attorney advised that if the final
map conforms in all details to the Subdivision Map Act and the local
ordinances and rulings thereunder the final map is deemed to be approved
by the approving body; however, the fact that the present map does not
technically comply with all rulings, in that one of the conditions was
that all structures be removed from all lots in the subdivision, would
enable the Council to disapprove should they so elect.
Mrs. Elaine Parks, the subdivider, being present in the audience, was
asked several questions by the Council and in answer thereto, advised
that lot 11, although a part of the proposed subdivision, is not owned
by the subdivision; that it is presently being used for storage but that
in her opinion as a realtor, the structures will be removed from the lot
in about a year due to its value as a building site.

The City Manager reported that some difficulty has been encountered in
consummating the acquisition of the Texaco Service Station site on the
southeast corner of Duarte Road and Santa Anita Avenue intended for the
new library, the Texaco Company desiring to remain on said property
until March 1, 1961 at which time they anticipate the completion of a
new service station at another location. That the completion date for
the construction of the new library is February 3, 1961, and the general
contractor has estimated the additional cost involved if the land were
to be occupied up to March 1, 1961 to be $1,410.00, and in addition
thereto there will be an overhead and administration charge to the final
total of approximately 10%. That the contractors have verbally indicated
that there would be very few problems involved if the property is
vacated on January 1, 1961. That the Texaco Company has agreed to pay
to the City, or have deducted from the monies that will be due them, the
sum of $600.00 per month for occupancy of the land, which would amount to
$3000,00 if they remain on the property until March 1, 1961.

The City Manager then stated that these details were reviewed with
special counsel for this project and they concurred in his following
recommendation: That arrangements be made to permit Texaco to occupy
the premises up to but not later than March 1, 1961 at a monthly rental
of $600.00 per month, subject to the preparation of a lease, agreement
or stipulation in the suit settlement, whichever, in the opinion of
special counsel would work to the best interests of the City. That
special counsel and the City Manager be authorized to complete these
negotiations at the earliest possible date and that any final determi-
nation is to be predicated upon the acquisition of the property being
completed and title transferred to the City not later than October 1,
1960,
Motion by Councilman Balser, seconded by Councilman Reibold and carried
on roll call vote as follows that Council accept the recommendation of
the City Manager as outlined in his communication to the Council of

predicated upon the acquisition of the property to be completed and title
transferred to the City not later than October 1, 1960, and that as soon
as practicable a change order be issued not to exceed the cost plus 10%

Mr. Robert S, Whitmore, Jr., 512 Santa Maria Road, Arcadia, addressed
the Council on the following matters: a) He felt the City should not
grant zone variances and spot zoning but should engage a firm to
establish a master plan to be adhered to by the City; b) that the
waiving of the reading of ordinances left the contents unknown to
citizens and inconvenient to ascertain; c) that no action had been
taken on his previous suggestion regarding the possibility of possessory
interest tax on apartment house dwellers; and d) that Council should
take positive action on economy measures and also to reduce the City's
services.
I
Councilman Butterworth advised that the matter of possessory interest tax
on apartment house dwellers was being researched,
The City Attorney advised that regarding the waiving of the reading and
adoption of ordinances, particularly as to zoning matters, both the

Planning Commission and another full hearing before the City Council,
at which times the matter is not only thoroughly discussed by the
Commission and the Council but every interested person, regardless of
where he lives, is invited to attend and participate in the discussion;
