I
Mr. Charles D. Mussey, 2512 Woodruff Way, addressed the Council, request-
ing information as to the procedure in which individual properties in
this instance were assessed, commenting that his amount seemed rather
high. It was explained that the 1911 Act is one of the most expensive
methods of procedure; that small jobs such as this one can be done more
economically on a contract basis with City inspection where there is
unanimous agreement of all property owners concerned but that procedure
under the 1911 Act is a statutory means of compelling each property owner
served by the improvement to pay his proportionate share.
The Director of Public Works summarized the method of assessing
properties.
The City Manager commented that procedure under both the 1911 and 1913
Acts seems antiquated and that assessment procedure in some states is
handled more economically by other methods; that the matter might be
called to, the attention of the Public Works Division of the League of
California Cities. The City Attorney remarked that one advantage of the
1911 Act procedure is that it permits the matter to go to bond as to
those persons who cannot or do not choose to pay cash.

Mayor Pro Tempore Balser commended the City Manager for his suggestion
to refer the method of assessment procedure to the League of California
Cities,and requested that he confer'with the Director of pubiic Works
and report back to the Council for determination as to action that
might beCtaken in the matter in this regard. I
Mayor Pro Tempore Balser declared the hearing open on Planning Commission
Resolution No. 392 recommending that the application of Earl R. Wragg
for a change of zone from R-2 to R-3 at 2515 South Sixth Avenue be denied,
but that a variance be granted to allow'no more than eight dwelling units
on the subject property, subject to all the regulations of Zone R-3.
Said resolution further stated in part as follows, to wit: That subject
property presently zoned R-2 lies between property on the east and north
zoned for and developed to R-l uses and property on the south which is
zoned R-3; that the R-2 zoning has served as a buffer between the R-l
and R-3 zones. That rezoning to R-3, with the type and number of multiple
dwellings that could then be constructed would be detrimental to the
single-family residences in the neighborhood but that certain
restrictions would still allow the property to serve as a buffer zone

between property zoned R-l and property zoned R-3 without detriment to '.
neighboring single-family residences. That plans for subject property
show a proposed street at the north side which would act as a buffer to
the R-l property at the north. That all property on the west side of
Sixth Avenue between Live Oak Avenue and the proposed street with the
exception of subject property is zoned either C-2 or R-3, and that the
granting of a variance for specified multiple-family uses with certain
restrictions will not be detrimental nor adversely affect the comprehensive
general plan.
Mayor pro Tempore Balser then inquired if anyone in the audience desired
to speak either in favor of or in opposition to th~ requested zone change.
Mayor camphouse arrived at the Council meeting at 8:20 P.M.
Mr. Alfred Allen, 1045 W. Huntington Drive addressed the Council,
respectfully requesting that the Council reconsider the recommendation of
the Planning Commission, stating in substance that such recommendation
would make it economically unfeasible to continue with Tract No. 25782
(subdivision to the east and north of subject property, upon which
approval had been granted); that the recommendation of the Planning
Commission that eight dwelling units be built on the subject property
was also economically unsound; that the requested R-3 zone change would
permit the construction of an apartment house of at least 12 units and
that if so desired he would covenant to the City that such building would
contain not more than 12 units. He added that the apartment building he
proposed to erect would be in keeping with the comprehensive general p~an
of the attractive R-l properties in the area; also that in his opinion
R-2 zoning was not in keeping with the trend of the times.
Thereafter the following persons addressed the Council, favoring the
recommendation of the Planning Commission, and stating in part that
their primary objections to the erection of an apartment building on the
subject property were that the apartment house dwellers will USe Lenta
Lane as a garage exit, increasing traffic on Lenta Lane and creating a
traffic hazard to their children playing in the street; and that their's
is a residential neighborhood and an apartment house in the near vicinity
will depreciate the value of their property:
Mr. John R. Smith, 2231 Lenta Lane
Mr. Leo Ullman, 2230 Lenta Lane
Mr. Fred McCormick, 2311 Lenta Lane
No one else desiring to be heard Councilman Phillips moved that the hearing
be closed. Councilman Butterworth seconded the motion 'which was carried
unanimously.
A general discussion then ensued. Councilman Butterworth stated in part
that he was inclined under the.circumstances to sustain:the recommendation
of the Planning Commission. Councilman Balser stated in part that he
personally had generally opposed R-3 zoning; however, in this particular
case due to the economics involved and in order to develop the landlocked
area the apartment house, in his opinion, would not be detrimental to the
neighborhood. He added that he hoped Mr. Allen would make every effor~
to have as many garages on the east end as possible.
Councilman Phillips stated in part that for many years the Council has
been endeavoring to provide some relief to landlocked areas and that if
denial of the requested R-3 zone would cause the progress thus far
achieved to retrograde that in his opinion the advantages outweigh any
disadvantages. That he therefore moved that Council not sustain the
recommendation of the Planning Commission and that a zone change from
R-2 to &-3 be granted Earl R. Wragg at. 2~15 South Sixth Avenue. Council-
man Reibold seconded the motion which was carried on roll call vote as

be added to his motion: "...satisfactory,provisions being made that

rear of 228 E. Sycamore Avenue, to be added to the market site at 211
East Foothill Blvd.
After the Director of Public Works indicated the property in question on
the map, Mayor Camphouse declared the hearing open on said application
and inquired if anyone in the audience desired to speak in favor of or
in opposition to the requested zone change.
The following persons addressed the Council:
Mr. Thomas Suttner, 50 N. First Avenue, an attorney representing the
applicant, stated in substance that the acquisition of the land in
question had been the subject of a previous discussion with the Council
when the rest of the property was acquired and zoned; that it was for the
purpose of straightening out the boundary of the market site and that
the Planning Commission and the Council had previously approved the lot
split which made this acquisition possible.
Mr. David H. Crane, 234 E. Sycamore Avenue stated in part that he would
appreciate it if the Council, in the interest of conformity, would assure
him that they would favorably consider his application for the same
zoning on the rear 45 feet of lot 9 of said tract if he should so request.
Mr. Edward A. Sonnenfeld, 246 E. Sycamore, stated in substance that he
feared such rezoning, if continued, would creep and soon abut his
property, thus defeating the residential aspect of the area.
Mayor Camphouse advised that the subject hearing had no reference to
properties owned by both persons - pertaining only to Ralphs Market.
I
No one else desiring to be heard Councilman Butterworth moved that the
hearing be closed. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion which was
carried unanimously.

desired to address the Council either in favor of or in opposition to "

Mr. Burr Blanchard, President of the applicant company, addressed the
Council, and in answer to their questions, advised that his company has
accumulated odd lots of samples of Christmas ornaments and cards which
they are unable to dispose of through their normal wholesale channels;
that this type of sale would not conflict with the established
merchants in this locale; that the merchandise would be marked at the

Planning Commission recommendation for approval subject to specified
conditions. Tract located on Fairview Avenue east, of Holly Avenue
containing 8 lots.
The Director of Public Works explained that the subdivider has
requested the establishment of a trust to provide that two parcels
on the south side of Fairview Avenue, not included in the tract, shall
pay their proportionate share of the cost of the street at such time as
they elect to use the street. The amount of said trust is recommended to
be $5,622.48 to be divided equally between the two parcels.
The owners of the two affected parcels protested to the Planning
Commission the amount of the trust and the method used for distribution
of the costs; however, the Director of Public Works and the Planning
Commission were of the opinion that the method and proposed amount were
both reasonable and fair.
The Director of Public Works spoke at length on the distribution of
costs, benefits, the need for installation of curbs, gutters, sewers
and pavement; and also displayed the final map of said subdivision.
Dr. Ray Allen Young, 650 West Duarte Road, addressed the Council at
length, stating in part that he felt as a property owner he would not
receive any benefit from the subdivision as proposed; that he did not
feel it fair to be asked by the City to give 12 feet for the widening of
Duarte Road with no remuneration; that he was willing to sell the rear
of his property to the subdivider (Alfred Allen) for the price offered
(approximately $7500.00) but that he would like to have Council postpone
final map approval of Tract No. 25253 until he had filed an application
and received approval of a lot split at the rear of his property.
Mr. Thomas H. English, 351 W. Duarte Road also addressed the Council,
concurring in the statements made by Dr. Young.
I
The City Attorney explained the procedure in applying for a lot split
to both the above property owners, and Mayor Camphouse commented that
the staff would be willing to assist them in arriving at the best use of
their land. He added that the matter before the Council at this time
was the request for final map approval of Tract No. 25253 and not the
lot split request presented by both protesting property owners. It was
also stated that they could do as they wished with their properties and
that there was no compulsion being placed upon them to deed the 12 feet.
Planning Commissioner Golisch summarized briefly the manner in which
the Planning Commission had arrived at their decision to approve the
subject subdivision tract, which would include the creation of a
subdivision trust.

confines of the race track, the City Manager advised that the race track
officials have expressed their willingness; that the distributors have
been notified and were advised to contact Mr. Ryan and negotiate::the::
matter with him.

should be arranged with the School Board early in October with reference
to the use of the City Library by the School District for an administration
building. Councilman Reibold expressed his willingness to attend such
meeting and the City Manager was instructed to arrange a meeting date
mutually satisfactory.

be aware of them; that he was not so aware and that there might be many
such resolutions that have been forgotten. The City Attorney replied
