The minutes of the Council meeting of April 7, 1959 were not presented

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

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

Councilmen, submitting his resignatIon as presiding officer and Mayor
of the City of Arcadia, adding that he looked forward to serving the
City as Councilman for the balance of hi.s term.

Mayor Phillips for the past year and appreciated all his help, and
that it was with reluctance that he moved that the Council accept
the resignation of Mayor Phillips as presiding officer and Mayor of
the City of Arcadia. Councilman Camphouse stated that in deference

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.

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

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:

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

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.

to give the required notice thereof.
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.

this nature have been refused and to grant permission in this instance
might set a precedent, and for that reason he moved that the above
request be denied. Councilman Phillips seconded the motion and it was
carried unanimously. Councilman Balser added that the City Manager

Mr. Earl H. 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

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.

The City Manager Pro Tempore advised that he had received a letter
from the Rancho Santa Anita Residents' Association signed by Robert
E. Williams, its president, stating in part that at one of their
meetings it had been recommended by resolution that the City Council
pass an ordinance that will prohibit the feeding of peacocks and wild
birds on the street; that such feeding by the public on North Old Ranch
Road on Sundays has created a nuisance to the residents.
A'general discussion ensued and the City Manager Pro Tempore was
instructed to write to Mr. Willi.ams advising him of the impossibility
of enforcing such an ordinance; that it would entail constant policing
and to be effective such an ordinance would have to be enforced
against all violators. Mayor Reibold also instructed that the matter
be referred back to Staff, and stated that should any member ot the
association desire to appear before the Council on this matter he
might so do.
The City Manager Pro Tempore advised that he had received a letter
from the law firm of Jones and Helms representing the Santa Anita
Bowl, 188 West Las Tunas Drive, Arcadia and the Arcadia Bowling
Courts, 21 Morlan Place, Arcadia, stating in part that both of these
bowling alleys are restricted from selling alcoholic beverages on
