Mayor Phillips declared the hearing open on the application of Dorothy M. Walters, 18825 Sierra Madre Avenue, Glendora, California, for a business permit to allow solicitation of merchants for advertising and to act as welcoming hostess to residents, and inquired if anyone wished to speak in favor of the application. Mrs. Dorothy M. Walters, the applicant, being present, addressed the Council, giving a resume of her background and method of operation. She stated in part that her business office is located at 4325 North Maine Avenue, Baldwin Park; that she employs about 100 people in approximately 48 cities in the surrounding area who solicit advertising from local merchants and businesses and call upon new families and newly married couples from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Mondays through Fridays and evenings by appointment; that her fee schedule is between 30 and 40 cents to the business per call, the differential being the amount of service required by the merchant. In answer to various questions she stated that she was aware that Arcadia already has a hostess service sponsored by the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce; that her material also advertised businesses outside Arcadia City limits, being those licensed to come into the City to render services to Arcadia citizens. No one else desiring to speak in favor of the application Mayor Phillips inquired if anyone desired to speak in opposition to the application. Mr. Ed Beaty addressed the Council, stating in part that he is the Manager of the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce, which has a hostess calling on new Arcadia residents; that this operation has been in service since 1946 and represents local firms only so that sales tax remains in the community, and does not call on any residents outside the community; that this service is not dependent on the number of calls made; is authorized by the City to operate and that the primary concern of this operation is to acquaint the residents with their new community. That between 56 to 58 business firms participate but that the Chamber of Commerce lists the majority of the business firms whether or not they belong to the hostess program; that the charge is $17.50 per quarter to members of the hospitality program; that said 1. 4- 21- 59 \ ~ 4597 WATER BOARD INDEXED fI:M,~..,.J RESIGNATION OF MAYOR PHILLIPS AND NOMINATION OF MAYOR REIBOLD INDEXED. program is self-sustaining and not a money-making program and that the general membership income is not used for this purpose. Mrs. Walters then again addressed the Council, stating that she would not interfere with the Chamber of Commerce service; that many merchants might take both services and her service would not replace the one in existence. No One else desiring to speak Councilman Jacobi moved that the hearing be closed. Councilman Camphouse seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously" A general discussIon ensued wherein Mayor Phillips called Council's I attentIon to a similar application made about two years ago called "Welcome Wagon" which was turned down by the Council; that he felt that basically Council has a primary duty to Arcadia and its merchants and that there is not room in Arcadia for two operations of this nature. Councilman Reibold felt that sInce the Chamber of Commerce is partly an agency of the City, subsidized by the City, it would be interfering with one's own business; that the services rendered by the Chamber of Commerce have so far proven satisfactory" Councilman Balser felt that Arcadia is covered adequately at this time and that he would not favor another hostess service. Councilman Camphouse stated that he moved that Council not grant this application; that this denial is no reflection upon the applicant, whose services are needed in many communities, Councilman Balser seconded the motion which was carried unanimously. The applicant then inquired if she could have a modified license to solicit businesses in this area for advertising in her books, but not to call upon local residents, to which the City Attorney replied that he would suggest she take this matter up with the License Officer who would advise her of the proper procedure. Mayor Phillips stated that he had been authorized by the Council, sitting as a committee of the whole on April 18, 1959, to present the names of the following persons who had indicated that they would accept an appointment on the newly formed Water Board: Harold B. Hemborg, 922 Panorama Drive Frank E. Vachon, 1145 Encanto Drive F. Harold Roach, 1310 San Carlos Road Ray Rogers, 360 North Baldwin Avenue Thomas C.

I The estimated cost of such work is approximately $6000.00, which will be, except for depreciation, reimbursed entirely to the City by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers as this covers their work on the Santa Anita Wash - Sierra Madre Wash Inlet which requires the relocation of interfering water mains and appurtenances by the Water Department.

File a final map with the City Engineer, 2. Dedicate 12 feet for the future widening of Second Avenue, 3. Pay $25.00 recreation fee, 4. Remove an existing shed, 5.

Located on Magna Vista Avenue, east of Lyndon Way, containing 11 lots. I The Director of Public Works stated that Tract No. 20952 was approved April 7, 1959 with specified conditions, No.5 condition requiring the subdivider to deposit $6,872.00 as his proportional share of the cost of the future opening of the street into LeRoy Avenue. He added that Robinson Brothers, the subdividers, are now requesting that this condition be modified to the effect that in the event that Magna Vista Avenue is extended to LeRoy Avenue with the use of other funds, other than those acquired from abutting properties, or if the street is not constructed to LeRoy Avenue within the next. ten years (April 7, 1969), the deposit shall be returned to Robinson Brothers, 4" 4-21-59 ~ 'k-r '\,~ I TRACT No. 21618 (Tentative) I -/ 3S~ PARKING (Thayer) INDEXED :4600 their heirs or assignees, with interest at the prevailing bank rate. That the Commission recommends the requested modification be approved, but is making no recommendation on the matter of interest on the money deposited. A general discussion ensued. To Councilman Phillip's query as to whether the ordinance under which the trust is taken prescribes the amount but does not limit the time, the City Attorney replied that the policy memorandum to which he refers does specify that interest may be charged, but that in th1s situat10n the subd1v1sion was approved on condition that the subdivider deposit a sum to help defray the acquisit10n cost of parcels further down the 11ne; that this is not a situat10n where property was placed 1n trust and to be purchased back; that th1s subdivider d1d not do anyth1ng to help the surrounding area and was required to put up money that would further the extension of the street into an area that would otherwise bear the full cost of improvements which would also be of benefit to this subdivision. That Mr. Robinson is asking for a clarification of the minutes; that in the past a time limit has been set on cash deposits providing that if the thing for which the deposit is made is not actually done within a specified time the money ultimately goes back to the person depositing same, and that is what he wants specified in the minutes; also that his deposit be returned with interest, and as to that, the City Attorney would hesitate to offer any suggestion without first getting a recommendation from the Controller as to computation of interest, etc. The consensus of the Council being that interest should not be returned, Councilman Phillips moved that the Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission and modify condition 5 by stipulating that in the event Magna Vista Avenue is extended to LeRoy Avenue with the use of funds other than those acquired from abutting properties, or if the street is not constructed to LeRoy Avenue within the next ten years, expiring April 7, 1969, the deposit be returned to Robinson Brothers, their heirs or assignees, but that it be stipulated that no interest on such deposit be paid by the City. Councilman Balser seconded the motion and it was carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: Councilmen Balser, Camphouse, Jacobi, Phillips, Reibold NOES: None ABSENT: None Located on Greenfield Avenue, north of Pamela Road, containing 14 lots, approved June 4, 1958. The Director of Public Works displayed a map of the area, stating that lot 11 was shown as 200 feet deep on this tract as originally approved, but that the owner now requests said lot be approved at 120 feet deep to correspond with the other lots, and that the Planning Commission recommends approval of this request, subject to all previously imposed conditions. Councilman Camphouse moved that the Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission and approve the request that lot 11 be 120 feet deep, subject, however, to all previously imposed conditions of Tract No. 21618. Councilman Phillips seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously. The Director of Public Works advised that Dick Thayer & Associates, 124 East Foothill, Arcadia, have requested permission to use a part of a dedicated alley as required parking space for an addition to a building. He added that the available space on the lot would provide for only five cars and if the area in the 16-foot alley is included it is doubtful that space for six cars with turning area 5. 4-21-59 = 4501 ZONE CHANGE REQUESTS (Ellis - Harris) (Blake) 15'{.1) SYCAMORE AVENUE BRIDGE VJ 1~\> could be provided; and that it is the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the present parking requirements being an absolute minimum should not be reduced, nor the public alley area be allowed to be counted as parking area even though it is a dead-end alley, and that the request be denied. Councilman Jacobi moved that the Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission and deny the request of Dick Thayer & Associates for permission to use part of a dedicated alley as required parking space for the building of an addition to their building. Councilman Camphouse seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously. Planning Commission recommendations for denial of the following I applications for zone changes requiring public hearings, on motion by Councilman Balser, seconded by Councilman Phillips and carried unanimously, May 19, 1959 at 8:00 o'clock P.M. was set as the date for said public hearings and the City Clerk was ordered to give the required notice the reo f: t~IO Resolution No. 327 - R.

The Director of Public Works advised that in accordance with Council's request the cost of constructing the Sycamore Avenue Bridge deck, as well as the street in connection therewith, storm drain appurtenances, etc. had been investigated and an estimated cost of the work of $21,200.00 had been received, provided there would be no additions to this cost because of limited fill material available in this project for filling adjacent to the channel walls, northerly of the project site; that if fill material is available within the limits of the project, there will be an additional $4000.00 to $5000.00 necessary for the fill replacement, making a total of approximately $25,000.00 for this project. A general discussion ensued and it was the consensus of the Council that originally it had been thought the bridge might get into the bid process and money could be saved due to the overall bid of the Santa Anita Wash, but that because the City has provided in the plans and specifications with the County Engineers the abutments that at a later date the City could secure bids on this work if and when the need became evident. I Whereupon Councilman Phillips moved that the Council thank the Staff for determining these costs and that the matter of the Sycamore Avenue Bridge be deferred until a later date. Councilman Balser seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously. 6. 4-21-59 1958 STORM DRAIN BOND ISSUE 1"/ I ADVERTISE FOR BIDS I WILDERNESS PARK ,\ \ -,,\\ :4602 The Director of Public Works advised that the City of Arcadia has received an allocation of funds of approximately $1,200,000.00 to finance the following two projects under the 1958 Los Angeles County Storm Drain Bond Issue under the jurisdiction of the Los Angeles County Flood Control District: PROJECT 404 - commences at Duarte Road and the Arcadia Wash, easterly in Duarte Road to Second Avenue, northerly in First Avenue to Huntington Drive.

Madinger addressed the Council, stating that he had applied for a building permit to build a house at 910 South 4th Avenue and had been refused on the ground that there was insufficient square footage in the lot; that he had subsequently sought relief by appearing before the Council on Apri 1 7, 1959 and had been advised that hi.s only remedy was to apply for a zone variance; that he had done so but had been told that if granted a variance would not be completed before the month of July. That his reason for coming before Council at this time was to i.nquire i.f there was anything the Council could do to expedite the procedure as his loan commitment was running out~ 8. 4-21- 59 I (Herbert Miller) ;: ~l, (T. W. Royer) ~s~ :J.,( I :4601 He was advised by the City Attorney that in the regular course of securing a zone variance certain procedures must be followed, such as notices to be mailed, hearing before the Planning Commission, recommendation of the Planning Commission to the Council, setting of hearing before Council, adoption of resolution, etc. That this was the normal process but if an appeal were filed, further time would elapse. He was also advised that there is under consideration at this time an amendment to the zoning ordinance which might speed up the process, but that in his particular case it would not 'help as an amendment to an ordinance takes more time to be adopted than a zone variance procedure. Mr. Herbert Miller, 1025 El Sur, addre~sed the Council, inquiring as to their stand on the matter of the State Legislature concerning transfer of fire department control to the County. He stated that he was not in -favor of such a move and was assured by the Council that they were on record as being against such a move. (A.B. 919) Mr. T. W. Royer, 606 West Naomi Avenue, addressed the Council, stating that some time ago the planning Commission unanimously recommended denial of a zone variance for a parking lot at 639 Naomi Avenue; that the parking lot was already in existenc,e prior to the requested zone variance and protests were filed; that subsequently on February 3, 1959 Council took the matter under advisement; and that at this time he was inquiring as to the length of time the matter would remain under advisement. Councilman Phillips advised that shortly after the matter was placed on pending agenda an application was filed with the Planning Commission for the rezoning of lots in and around the area of the said parking lot; that this matter is now set for hearing before the Council on June 2, 1959 and for that reason the matter was not taken off pending agenda because the decision as to what will happen to those lots will affect the decision on the said parking lot; that if those lots are rezoned to R-3 then certain parking is a legal usage in that zone. Mr. Royer then inquired if both matters could be handled on June 2nd and Mayor Reibold instructed the City Clerk to place both matters on the agenda for that time.
