Vivian Margolin, 1431 South Santa Anita Ave. The City Clerk advised that the Planning Commission recommended 2. 8-4-59 1 I LOT SPLIt No. 259 ammanI I 3~j .'1Y~>c denial of this lot split but that Mr. Nate Margolin was present and desired to address the Council for the purpose of appealing the decision. In compliance with Mayor Reibold's request, Mr. Edward Stout, a member of the Planning Commission, reported on the matter, in part as follows: That in the opinion of the Planning Commission the requested lot split represents a deviation from the orderly pattern of the neighborhood and does not represent a sound portrayal of what Mr.- Margolin proposes to do with the property or how he proposes to do it; also that the granting of a lot split in this instance would be in conflict with certain deed restrictions; and that it would require the placing of the house in a manner that would not be compatible with the rest of the neighborhood insofar as yard clearance, etc. is concerned. He added that a petition signed by approximately 38 residents of the area protested the split on the basis that it violates deed restrictions. Mr. Stout also stated that in the opinion of the Planning Commission the requested split is not in the interests of good planning. Mr. Nate Margolin, 605 Mountain Drive, Beverly Hills, then addressed the Council, stating that he would be amenable to any plan considered by the Planning Commission to be in the interest of good planning; that he had been unaware of the deed restrictions until the aforesaid petition had been filed, and that he desired additional time to study the restrictions. That after further study of the restrictions, if he interpreted their meaning to be as represented he would withdraw the requested lot split. He added that he could not agree with the Planning Commission that the requested lot split would depreciate and act as a detriment to the exist- ing homes on Pamela Road; that in fact he proposed to erect a residence that would enhance the value of the street. Also that contrary to the fact that the petition stated there would be improper rear, side and front yard setbacks, he was prepared to show that this was not the case. He then asked that the matter be referred back to the Planning Commission. The following persons then requested and received permission to address the Council: Francis J. Donnelly, 53 Pamela Road Cyril F. McDermott, 77 Pamela Road Duane B. Blanchard, 14 Pamela Road In essence they requested Council not to refer this matter back to the Planning Commission, contending that this is a delaying tactic, and protested the requested lot split on the basis that the deed restrictions on the lot in question prohibited the building of two residences on one lot, and also the fact that there would be insufficient back yard footage on the existing residence on Santa Anita Avenue. They felt also that the requested lot split would not enhance the value of the property on Pamela Road. Whereupon Councilman Balser moved that the Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission and deny Lot Split No. 254 - Vivian Margolin, 1431 South Santa Anita Avenue. Councilman Jacobi seconded the motion and it was carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: Councilmen Balser, Jacobi, Phillips, Reibold NOES: None ABSENT: Councilman Camphouse C.

(Copy of resolution on file in office of the City Clerk) . After discussion of the Council and the Director of Public Works regarding a communication from Howard E. Corbitt, 1809 North Santa Anita Avenue, suggesting stop signs on Andrea Lane and El Vista Circle in an effort to prevent high speed on the west side of North Santa Anita Avenue between Grand View and Sierra Madre Boulevard, and also referring to the recent school bus accident which occurred at Sierra Madre Boulevard, it was the recommendation of the Director of Public Works, in which the Chief of Police concurred, that since there is a stop sign on Grand View and at Sierra Madre Boulevard, and since the sight distance at Andrea Lane and El Vista Circle is good,no useful purpose would be served in placing additional stop signs at those intersections. It was remarked that the brakes on the bus in question were faulty and that a stop sign would not have alleviated that situation. Mayor Reibold requested the City Manager to write a letter of explanation to Mr. Corbitt. 1 & Military Affairs attend on August Mayor Reibo1d With regard to an invitation from the Civil Defense Committee for a representative of the City Council to 19 and 20, 1959 a hearing on atomic attack survival, advised that Mr. Clifford pollock would attend. 6. 8-4- 59 (Complaint Mayor Reibold referred to Staff for 'proper action the communication Mattingly)from Mr. Ben Mattingly, dated July 28" 1959, protesting the Good Humor Man's music at around 10:00 P.M. and the door to door solicitation of IND~ the Good Will Agencies.

WATER DISTRICT FORMATION INDElilif j ~V" Councilman Phillips commented that the petitions for the formation of a water district have been declared sufficient; that on August 11, 1959 they go to the County Supervisors' who must set an election date between November 9 and December 9; that he thought it will probably be about December 5, 1959. Mayor Reibold expressed the appreciation of the Council to Councilman Phillips for the work he has done in this matter.

MATTERS FROM CITY OFFICIALS: JAMES HAYES 1 Jl;~Ex.jID ~ ~\>t^, ~ The City Clerk read in full one of the 31 petitions, containing 720 signatures, that had been filed with her office at 4:00 P.M. August 4, 1959, petitioning the City Council and all city officials having jurisdiction in police matters to reinstate former Captain James Hayes as Captain of Police. Mayor Reibold stated that the Council appreciates the interest the people in Arcadia take in affairs of their government, but that he wished to point out that part of what the petition requests is contrary to law. He then read Section 406 of the Charter of the City of Arcadia: J "Neither the City Council nor any of its members shall interfere with the execution by the City Manager of his powers and duties, or order, directly or indirectly, the appointment by the City Manager or by any of the department heads in the administrative service of the City, of any person to an office or employment or his removal therefrom. Except for the purpose of inquiry, the City Council and its members shall deal with the administrative service under the City Manager solely through the City Manager and neither the City Council nor any member thereof shall give orders to any subordinates of the City Manager, either publicly or privately." 7. 8-4-59 1:'t1~f TRAfnC SIGNALS (Baldwin & Colorado) INDEXED ~ ~~~ ~ MARKETOWNE (Fi re) INDEJUm ~!:f Mayor Reibold continued [hat the point he desired to clearly make is that as far as any direct interference, the Council is specifically prohibited from so doing, and that he is certain that this is the last thing the signers of the petition'would desire. He added that after due process has taken place, referring to the hearing to be held August 6" 1959 before the Personnel Board, and the Board has made its findings, anything in said findings that require Councilmanic action will receive such action promptly. Councilman Phillips stated that he thought too much comment at this meeting is not in keeping with the due process which has now been officially set for August 6, 1959. 1 Mayor Reibold then requested the City Clerk to file the petitions. The City Manager reported on the progress of the proposed installation of traffic signals at the intersection of Baldwin Avenue and Colorado Street. He also displayed plans of the project. He added that financing for this project was provided for in the Memorandum of Agreement executed a short time ago and that the City's share is in the amount of $3500.00 and is defrayed from its State Gas Tax allocation. Also that he recommended Council grant their approval of the project and authorize him to execute the plan, which will assist in the completion of the installation of the signals prior to the racing season. Whereupon Councilman Phillips moved that Council accept the recom- mendation of the Director of ~blic Works and approve the project of the proposed installation of traffic signals at the intersection of Baldwin Avenue and Colorado Street and authorize him to execute the plan. Councilman Jacobi seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously. The Director of Public Works advised that notices had been posted and sent to owners and interested parties requesting the removal of debris at the fire-gutted Marketowne property but that as yet the City's request has not been fully complied with and that he recommended Councilmanic action ordering the owners of the property to proceed with the work specified in said notices, namely, the demolition of the building. In the general discussion [hat ensued it was stated that the owners had encountered labor difficulty because of the questionable stability of the building; also that the complicated ownership, lease and sublease arrange- ment of the property made it difficult to place responsibility for the cleaning up process; also that there are several insurance companies involved and not all have as yet given releases to their insured. The Director of Public Works pointed out that the Building Code provides that the Council may order the owner of the building to proceed with the work specified in the notice and that if such order is not heeded they may order the building official to proceed with the work specified and the cost of such work levied as a special assessment against the land on which the structure is located and collected in the manner provided for special assessments. 1 It was the consensus of the Council, the City Manager and the Director of Public Works that prompt action must be taken in this matter due to the hot weather and the sanitation problem involved and Mayor Reibold suggested that an adjourned meeting be called for August 11, 1959 and ' in the interim that the Staff attempt to resolve the problem with the owners of the property; that by August 11th if Council is not satisfied that everything possible has been done, they will then order action instituted as provided by the Building Code. This suggestion met with the approval of the Council. 8. 8-4- 59 MULTILITH OPERATOR INDEa-Q [i\ <; ~ ISOLUTION . 3158 Il'lU7:Un ORDINANCE No. 1062 (Introduced) li.~ tuTW' NO. 19 SOUTH ARCADIA UNINHABITED INDEXED ) \,~, Of7o{ -, In compliance with the City Manager's request for authorization to employ a Multilith Operator at either Step A, B, C, or D in Schedule 17 because of X'he difficulty being encountered in securing the services of such an operaX'or at the entrance salary of $297.00 Councilman Phillips moved that Council authorize the employment of a Multilith Operator in the City Controller's Department at either Step A, B, C, or D in Schedule 17.

Councilman Balser stated that he concurred in this and added that it is very difficult to plan one side of a street when the' property on the other side is under the jurisdiction of a municipality more liberal in its planning than Arcadia. 9. 8-4-59 k"\ o~ RESOLUTION No. 3159 INDEXED ~ ~"J., SPECIAL COUNSEL PERSONNEL BOARD (Hayes) .iUD~'O>D. i COMPARISON OF REVENUE t:) (Arcadia (j\c, \ and Inglewood) ADJOURNMENT Mayor'Reibold stated that Arcadia is not seeking annexation for the sole purpose of annexing more land; that he agreed with Councilman Balser that the centers of streets do not make good division lines; that it will be more beneficial to all concerned for the City of Arcadia to be able to meintain Live Oak Avenue in the way it should on both sides and prevent future conflict. The City Attorney stated that the legal description of the property proposed to be annexed is as described in Resolution No. 3159 which he proposes to read. He then suggested that in this case Council avail themselves of the Government Code and the City Ordinance provisions, and that prior to the annexation protest hearing, which will be in about 1 two months, hearings be held before the Planning Commission and City Council so that proper zoning can be placed on the property concurrent with its annexation. Councilman Phillips thought the City Attorney's suggestion should be carried out forthwith by the Planning Commission. The City Attorney then presented, explained the content and read the title of Resolution No. 3159, entitled: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, GIVING NOTICE O~ THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION OF CERTAIN TERRITORY ADJACENT AND CONTIGUOUS TO THE PRESENT CITY LIMITS OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, THE SAME BEING SITUATED NEAR THE SOUTHERLY PORTION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA AND DESIGNATED AS 'ANNEXATION NO. 19, SOUTH ARCADIA UNINHABITED'."
