the Council either in favor of or in opposition to the requested permit.
Mr. Robert G. Frye, the applicant, addressed the Council, and in answer
to various questions propounded by the Council, advised in part that he

HEARING
(Zoning -
Annex. 14 )
There being no one else desiring to address the Council, and it being the
consensus of the Council that it would be beneficial to have more pertinent
data regarding the Jex Construction Company, Councilman Balser moved that
the hearing be continued to the next regular Council meeting (October 18,
1960), and the staff instructed to investigate said company and ascertain
the type of work they had performed in other cities. Councilman Reibold
seconded the motion which was carried unanimously.
Mayor camphouse declared the hearing open on the matter of the zoning of
Annexation No. 14 consisting of property located generally on the west
side of Baldwin Avenue between Camino Real Avenue and Callita Street, and
in compliance with his request, the Director of Public Works reviewed in
substance the situation to date as follows:

Said area was annexed to the City of Arcadia December 20, 1955 and
automatically became a part of Zone R-l; thereafter by Ordinance No. 954
it was given tentative zoning of R-l, PR-3 and C-l subject to the prior
fulfillment of certain requirements of street and alley dedications and
the filing of certain specified covenants.
Because of the long lapse of time and the fact that none of the
conditions were fulfilled the Planning Commission restudied the area in
connection with Annexation No. l7-A, and recommended it be zoned R-l and
R-3 upon condition that if within one year certain specified conditions
were fulfilled the area should be zoned as outlined in said Ordinance
No. 954.

That due to recent developments the matter was referred back to the
Planning Commission for additional study and about the same time
Orlando Clarizio filed his third application for a special use permit
to allow a convalescent home on property at 1601-1609 South Baldwin Ave.
The two matters being closely related, hearings were conducted simul-
taneously. That the owners have proposed certain definite improvements
for the area and have submitted concrete plans.
Thereafter, due to inability of the Planning Commission, who were short
two members at the time, to reach an agreement and in accordance with
the requirements of Ordinance No. 760 the matter was referred to the City
Council without recommendation.
During the above review the Director of Public Works also displayed maps
depicting said information.
The City Manager commented that during the series of hearings material
changes were made in the buildings proposed to be constructed which
would overcome to some degree a number of the objections raised at
earlier. meetings.
Thereafter Mayor Camphouse called upon those persons in the audience who
wished to address the Council in favor of a change in the status quo of
the property and the following persons spoke:
Mr. Dexter Jones, 38 East Huntington Drive, stated in part that he was
an attorney representing Orlando Clarizio; that his client desired a
special use permit to allow the construction and operation of a 63 bed
nursing and convalescent home. He described the type of construction,
design and layout of the proposed building, adding that it will provide
services for ambulatory cases to supplement the services of a general
hospital and will not serve mental, alcoholic or narcotic cases. He also
displayed a front elevation of the proposed building and mentioned that
the operating company of the home will be a corporation, stock to be owned
by several doctors, and will have experienced management. He added that
provisions have been made in the rear for three residential sites which
meet the requirements as to area for R-l residences to act as a buffer 1
zone between the residences facing on Callita Street.
Mr. Jones then introduced as an expert on rest homes Mr. Charles F. Astin,
5250 Santa Monica Boulevard, who touched upon the need for this type of
facility in Arcadia based upon determination of an estimated 3 beds per
100 population for nursing homes and facilities providing services for
long care; that there is need for approximately 126 beds in Arcadia and
presently there is approximately 44.
Mr. J. W. Bernard stated in substance that he was the owner of the south-
west corner of Baldwin Avenue and Camino Real Avenue upon which he
proposes to build two one-story commercial buildings and a service
station. He described the type of buildings and mentioned that his
property adjoins the Clarizio property and expected that the buildings
would be occupied by a florist, a music store or the like.

Mr. Walter A. Routery, 716 Callita Street, favored commercial development,
feeling that it would effectively stop the movement of commercial'further
down Baldwin Avenue because of the residential appearance of the proposed
development.
Mr. Harry Robinson of Robinson Brothers. (Builders), owner of both the
northwest and southwest corners of Baldwin Avenue and Callita Street,
described the proposed one-story commercial office buildings and a two-
story professional office building, and favored commercial zoning.
No one else desiring to speak in favor of a change in the zoning, Mayor
Camphouse called on those persons desiring to address the Council in
favor of the retention of the property in status quo, and the following
persons spoke:
Mrs. Ella R. Milfert, 721 W. Callita Street, stated in substance that
she did not feel 1601-1609 South Baldwin Avenue a proper location for a
rest home. She also mentioned that parking would become a problem in
the area because of visitors to the patients in the home.
Mr. Bernard W. Neumeyer, 638 West Longden Avenue stated in .substance
that he opposed commercial zoning in that area; that he felt it should be
developed for residential only. He also submitted to the City Clerk
various petitions, which the City Clerk read, which stated in substance
that the petitioners opposed the construction of office buildings,
convalescent and commercial usages, and requested the promotion of single
family residence development; ,that they opposed any further commercial or
multiple dwelling establishments on Baldwin Avenue between Camino Real and
Las Tunas Drive and favored the reversion to and future continuance of
R-l zoning of the west side of Baldwin Avenue in the vicinity of Camino
Real and Callita Street; also that plans be established for the entire
portion of Baldwin Avenue between Camino Real and Live Oak Avenues and
during the interim that no action be taken by the Council to alter the
present R-l zoning. He also presented to the City Clerk a letter signed
by Ben Parkin, 711 West Estrella, requesting the denial of all requests
of non-residential usages of property in annexations 14 and 17, now pend-
ing. Members of the Council questioned Mr. Neumeyer on certain aspects
of the petitions and he described how the signatures had been obtained;
also that he did not officially represent such petitioners. He also
requested that an ordinance be adopted requiring owners to maintain
vacant lots, adding that some vacant lots are in an unsightly condition.
A person identifying himself as "an appraiser" for the Division of High-
ways, but who did not give his name, stated that in his opinion most of
the property could not stay R-l as sooner or later Baldwin Avenue will
connect with the Foothill Freeway,. and if not developed commercially,
will become a blight upon the City. In answer to Mayor Camphouse's
question as to whether in his opinion Baldwin Avenue is suitable for R-l
zoning, he stated that it is unusual to find well built, expensive homes
on highways that carry heavy and fast traffic. He cited as an example
Riverside Drive in the Taluca, Lake area where many of the corners have
professional buildings on them, then an alley and immediately behind are
the expensive homes.
General discussion then ensued.
Mr. Jones stated in part that the City has an ordinance under which there
is no limit whereby these people could dedicate an alley and automatically
get C-l zoning, and to his request for confirmation on this point, the
City Attorney replied that in his opinion a determination is predicated
upon facts in existence at the time and that the conditions imposed must
be availed of within a reasonable time. That the years which have passed
since such determination was made stretches the term reasonable to a
rather unreasonable length.

The City Attorney also stated in part that he would like to correct the
record to state that this property was not reclassified at the time of
its annexation but only determinations were made that it was properly the
subject of reclassification upon the compliance with certain conditions
and that if, as and when the conditions were complied with the Council
declared that it would then reclassify the property. That actuully it
has never been reclassified.
Mr. Howard Russell, Jr., 707 West Estrella Avenue, addressed the Council
and stated in part that he agreed with Mr. Neumeyer's statement that
there should be a plan as to development on Baldwin Ave.
The Director of pUblic Works advised that as far back as 1926 it has been 1
planned to have Baldwin Avenue as part of a master plan of major streets
in the County of Los Angeles; that on several occasions'resolutions have
been adopted by the County Board of Supervisors and by past City Councils
of Arcadia to the effect that Baldwin Avenue was and is a part of this
master plan. That at this time the City has an appropriation of $30,000
for the improvement of Baldwin Avenue and will probably continue to
acquire appropriations as the money becomes available for its improvement.
He then described the portions of Baldwin Avenue already improved and the
portions slated for improvement in the future.
Mr. Frank T. Kelly, 725 Call ita Street expressed his approval of the
revised plans of the proposed rest home.
No one else desiring to be heard, Councilman Reibold moved that the
hearing be closed. Councilman Phillips seconded the motion which was
carried on roll call vote as follows:
AYES: Councilmen Balser, Reibold, Phillips, Camphouse
NOES: None
ABSENT: Councilman Butterworth
The Council then stated their opinions in substance as follows:
Councilman Balser stated that the Council has had the subject area under
consideration for many years and that its decision on Annexation 14 will
have a serious effect on the spread of business south on Baldwin Avenue;
that personally he feels it should not go commercial any further; that
there are many beautiful homes on Baldwin Avenue south of Camino Real
that deserve Council's serious consideration; that he felt the idea of
Baldwin Avenue being the connecting link between the two freeways is over-
emphasized as in his opinion Baldwin Avenue will be a nice residential area
for many years. That he personally was inclined toward it remaining R-l
although he had favored R-3 single story. However, in view of the
evidence presented at this meeting he did not feel in position to decide
at this time and felt he needed a little additional time to come to a
definite conclusion.
Councilman Reibold stated in substance that while he did not agree entirel
with Councilman Balser, he did concur in his conclusion that probably thi
meeting was not the time to make a decision; that although the length of
time taken on this matter to reach a decision is inexcusable, he favored
a continuance to the next Council meeting.
Councilman Reibold added that he hoped the Council would keep in'mind that
it has certain obligations to the residents of the area annexed, that he
did not believe it would be fair to them to give them a use that would be
more restrictive than what they had in the County. That with respect to
the convalescent home, he had found that there is usually objection to
this type of building, such as is raised when there is proposed to be
built a school or church or hospital or mortuary, but that such services
are essential to total community living. Also that with respect to Baldwin
Avenue, it was and is a main thoroughfare. and that these aspects should
be considered in a realistic manner.

Councilman Phillips stated in part that he agreed with Councilman Reibold,
that the Council has delayed long enough and that it owes the people on
Baldwin Avenue, on Call ita Street and the applicants a decision. That he
agreed with Mr. Neumeyer insofar as what the Council decides will have an
effect on the ultimate development of Baldwin Avenue. That he concurred
with Councilman Balser that the Council should give the matter further
study and endeavor to tender its decision at the next Council meeting.
Mayor Camphouse stated that he had nothing to add to what had already
been stated except that he wished to reiterate that he thought the
Council as a body has been remiss in rendering a decision and that it
is time to do so by no later than the next Council meeting.
Whereupon Councilman Reibold moved that this matter be taken under
advisement until the next Council meeting (October 18, 1960). Councilman
Balser seconded the motion which was carried unanimously.
Mayor Camphouse declared a 5 minute recess at 10:00 o'clock P.M.

The City Manager reported that regarding the proposed prohibition of the

for the sale of tip sheets within the grounds of the Los Angeles Turf Club.

in the grounds of the Los Angeles Turf Club; also that the license fee

Avenue between Santa Clara Avenue and St. Joseph Avenue and that in this
regard he had received an engineering proposal from the engineering firm
of Wilsey, Ham & Blair but too late for thorough study and recommendation

In order that remedial action could be taken regarding height
regulations on apartment houses constructed in Zone C-O, the City
Attorney presented, as an emergency measure, and read in its entirety,
Ordinance No. ll03, entitled: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, LIMITING THE HEIGHT OF MULTIPLE DWELLINGS
IN SAID CITY".
He added that this would remedy the fact that no height regulations
other than those applicable to all buildings in Zone c-o had been
imposed on apartment houses, and that the above ordinance would freeze
for the present all multiple family dwellings to two stories in height.

ADJOURNMENT
In answer to Councilman Balser's query as to the status of the proposed
construction of the Sycamore Bridge the Director of Public Works advised
that the City anticipates the start of construction by March 15, 1961;
that the delay has been occasioned primarily by the fact that the County
Park and Recreation Department desire to construct an equestrian tunnel
at the same time the City constructs the bridge in order to avoid the
necessity of tearing up any of the structures installed by the City.
Councilman Balser requested the City Manager to keep the Council informed
as the time draws near.
Councilman Phillips inquired as to the possibility of traffic signals
at the corner of Second Avenue and Foothill Blvd. The Director of
Public Works stated that it is planned to have actuated signals there,'

Councilman Reibold touched upon the subject of Spittlebugs, stating that
the methods taken to eliminate them from Acacia trees have not proven
effective. The City Manager advised that the matter of control has
been discussed with the best recognized authorities on the subject and it
is their conclusion that there is very little that can be done to ward
off the infestation as it is almost impossible to control; that they feel
the Acacia tree is doomed as is the Elm in the east and middle west; and
that any further expenditure on the part of the City to try to eliminate
the pest would be a waste of funds. A discussion followed and it was the
concensus of the Council that the Acacia trees in the City's parkways
be removed as they die, since it would cost approximately $75,000 to
remove them all at one time, and that a tree be replanted as the infested
Acacia tree is removed. It was requested that the Staff report on a
long range program on the matter.
In answer to Councilman Reibold's query as to the status of the Lot Split
simplification program the City Attorney replied that the matter would
be expedited very shortly.
Mayor Camphouse stated that he had received an invitation from the Duarte
Chamber of Commerce for the Council to attend their Third Annual Parade to
be held November 5, 1960; and requested the City Manager to make the
necessary arrangements.
Mayor Camphouse also advised that he had received a communication with
reference to the California water plan and read an excerpt therefrom.
To his suggestion that Councilman Reibold, as the liaison, discuss the
matter with the Water Board, he was advised by Councilman Reibold that
the matter had already been discussed at the last Water Board meeting
and that there being a number of unknown factors he had advised that the
Council would look to them for advice as'to the City's action. Mayor
Camphouse then commented that probably the matter would also be discussed
at the Committee of Mayors meeting he would attend October 6, 1960.
Mayor Camphouse requested the City Manager to make arrangements for the
advance registrations for the League of California Cities meeting in
Los Angeles on October 23-26, 1960.
