Resolution No. 3177, entitled: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, REQUESTING THE INSTALLATION OF SIGNALS AT
BALDWIN AVENUE AND FOOTHILL BOULEVARD IN THE CITY OF ARCADIA."
Because of the high rate of speed of traffic on Foothill Boulevard, and
the fact that previous requests to the State Division of Highways to
post lesser speed limits on said boulevard have been ignored and also
the fact that previous discussions and contacts with the State Division
of Highways have led the Council to believe that signals would be
installed at the intersection of Baldwin Avenue and Foothill Boulevard,
it was the consensus of the Council that the above resolution should
be sent to the State Highway Department both locally and in Sacramento,
to each member of the California Highway Commission, to the State
Assemblymen from this district and to the State Senator from this
district.

Motion by Councilman Jacobi, seconded by Councilman Phillips and
carried unanimously that Council accept the recommendation of the
Planning Commission and approve Final Map of Tract No. 17746-,
located on Magna Vista Avenue, west of Second Avenue, consisting of
7 lots, subject to conditions as outlined in communication of October
15, 1959 from the Planning Secretary.
Upon being advised by the Director of Public Works that all requirements
have been complied with, Councilman Camphouse moved that the improvements
of Tract No. 17746 be accepted for maintenance by the City and the bond
posted by the subdivider be released. Councilman Phillips seconded the
motion and it was carried unanimously.
I
Located on the extension of Fairview Avenue, westerly from Park Avenue,
consisting of 8 lots, and recommended by the Planning Commission for
denial without prejudice because of the length of the cu1 de sac.
In the general discussion that ensued Mr. Fred Erickson, 435 West Walnut
Avenue, Arcadia, (the subdivider) addressed the Council, stating in part
that he had in various discussions with the Planning Commission adviseQ
them that two of the owners of property on the south side of Fairview
Avenue protested making the angle in the street at the east line of the
tract and also that the City had erred in permitting the construction of
a dwelling upon a portion of a lot which had been split off from the
remainder and which would have been sufficient to provide a westerly
extension of Fairview Avenue to Holly Avenue.
It was the feeling of Councilmen Camphouse and Phillips that as the
proposed subdivision as presented is incompatible with good planning,
that further study should be given the matter in an attempt to work out
a solution; that possibly a street opening either to Holly Avenue or
Duarte Road should be considered, as the cuI de sac now present in the
map being 1135 feet long is not in accordance with the subdivision
ordinance which allows only 500 feet.
Whereupon Councilman Phillips moved that Council accept the recommendation
of the Planning Commission and deny without prejudice the tentative map
of Tract No. 25253, and also that Council recommend that the Staff and the
City Attorney work with the Subdivision Committee in an attempt to resolve
this situation, possibly with an outlet either to Holly Avenue or Duarte
Road. Councilman Camphouse seconded the motion and it was carried on roll
call vote as follows:
AYES: Councilmen Camphouse, Jacobi, Phillips, Reibold
NOES: None
ABSENT: Councilman Balser
The City Attorney commented that the Arcadia Avenue opening, near Baldwin
Avenue and Duarte Road, was started by the Council on its own motion; I
that an area such as this and others similar to it may be areas where the
Council could participate to the extent of conducting related p~oceedings,
assessing the cost back against the entire area in accordance with the
benefits received, and suggested that this also might be studied by the
Staff. Councilman camphouse agreed, adding that street openings would
probably alleviate traffic congestion, as this had been done in Pasadena
and had greatly helped the traffic problem there.
Mayor Reibo1d declared that since no action can be taken until time for
appeal elapses (October 23, 1959), the zone variance requests of James L.
and Jean P. Doughman to allow the erection of a duplex at 9912-9914 East
Camino Real (Planning Commission Resolution No. 347), and of Albert and
Jane Adcock to allow the erection of an additional dw~lling on the rear
of the lot at 1503 South Fourth Avenue (Planning Commission Resolution
No. 348) will be held over until the appeal period has passed and that said
matters be placed on the November 3, 1959 agenda.

Motion by Councilman Camphouse, seconded by Councilman Jacobi .and
carried unanimously that Council accept the recommendation of the
Staff and approve the request of the Los Angeles Turf Club to relocate
exit gate #2 to a point fartheT east of Baldwin Avenue on Huntington
Drive upon the conditions as outlined by the City Manager Pro Tempore.
The City Clerk read a communication from the law firm of Faith, Weiss
and Holland, requesting that their client, the Santa Anita Bowl, be
permitted to serve beer on the bowling lanes.
Mr. Frank J. Weiss, the attorney representing the bowl, addressed the
Council, stating in part that permission to serve beer on the bowling
lanes would draw more bowling teams to this alley, as they have been.
losing business due to. their inability to so do, and also that thit' is,
the only bowling alley in the State of California where a bowler cannot
order beer.
Mayor Reibo1d felt that Council is out of its element when it attempts
to get into the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act as it concerns business,
and that so long as it is a law of the land it is not right that Council
should disregard it no matter how the individual councilmen feel.
Councilman camphouse stated that he agreed with Mayor Reibold in his
statement, but that he also felt that it is not Council's prerogative
to determine whether the amount of money a business is making is not
enough or too much. He added that the request to serve beer only on the
bowling alleys was, so to speak, "a foot in the door" proposition and
would be letting the residents of the area down for the reason that had
this been known at the time the zone variance was originally requested
stro~ger protests might have been made by such residents.
Mayor Reibo1d then moved that Council grant the request of the Carol
Catering Co., doing business as the Carribean Inn, and the South Arcadia
Recreation Center, Inc., doing business as the Santa Anita Bowl, to serve
beer only on the bowling concourse of the Santa Anita Bowl located at
188 Las Tunas Drive, Arcadia, and that the current calendar permit for
the operation of said bowl be amended accordingly. Motion seconded by
Councilman Phillips and carried on roll call vote as follows:

City Attorney Nicklin expressed his appreciation for being allowed to
attend the National Institute of Municipal Law Officers Conference in
Pittsburgh, stating that he felt the conference this year was even
better than usual, He further stated that at one of the sessions, as
City Attorney of Arcadia, he had presented a paper entitled "Annexations
in California or the Gold Rush of 1959". He stated further that he
felt he had expressed the policyc of the City Council in opposing a
resolution as tendered by the Resolutions Committee to appoint a joint
Federal, State and Local Committee "....to consider and recommend how
Federal expenditures can be reduced and the revenue thus derived can be
made available to local governments...."; that he had opposed the
resolution as drawn because the Arcadia Council had frequently expressed
itself as being in opposition to higher levels of government levying
taxes for redistribution to lower levels of government for the reasons
that it is frequently more expensive, the redistribution is not always
fair, and the money frequently comes back with undesirable strings
attached. That he was supported by Roger Arnebergh, City Attorney of
Los Angeles, whose motion was adopted to amend the resolution to
read substantially that ".... consideration be given to the formation of
a joint Federal, State and'Loca1 Committee whose duty it shall be to
consider and recommend how Federal expenditures can be reduced so that
additional revenues will be available to local governments to enable
them to more adequately perform their obligations and meet their
responsibilities. "
Councilman Camphouse tendered for the record a communication written to
him, dated October 13, 1959, from Mr. and Mrs. George D. Milligan, 701
Anoakia Lane, calling his attention to a statement purportedly made by
him, which appeared in the press, regarding the area around the Anoakia
School which had been misconstrued; adding that he desired to clarify
his statement, which was that there was fire and police protection all
around that particular area and that the chief benefit to be derived
by that area in being annexed to Arcadia would be that they too would
receive such benefits.
Mayor Reibo1d ordered the meeting adjourned at 9:55 P.M.
