HEARING
(Sheahan)
g~J~
PRESENT: Councilmen Camphouse, Jacobi, Phillips, Reibold and
Dennis
Motion was made by Councilman Reibold that the minutes of the
regular meeting of November 5, 1957 be approved as submitted
in \.riting. Said motion was seconded by Councilman Jacobi
and carried unanimously.
Appeal from Planning Commission recommendation for denial of
request of Robert B. and Mary V. Sheahan for a yard
modification to permit the erection of a second dwelling at
1200 South Santa Anita Avenue.
Mayor Dennis declared the hearing open.
Mr. Robert B. Sheahan, the applicant, protested the recom-
mendation for denial and exhibited a diagram of the proposed
development and read from a prepared statement which was filed
with the City Clerk.
Mr. Sheahan appealed to Council to allow the 10 foot setback
from the 260.92 line in keeping with the requirement at the
time the Planning Commission's decision was made and to conform
with the pattern established by his neighbors to the south.
Reference was made to Ordinance No. 990 which requires a 25
foot setback; however, Mr. Sheahan felt that his application
should be approved inasmuch as this Ordinance was not effective
at the time he made his request.
Mr. Alfred Allen, subdivider, representing property owners to
the south of 1200 South Santa Anita Avenue, addressed Council
stating in substance that it would be beneficial to all con-
cerned if a policy were established as to whether or not
Council would grant any lot splits prior to the time Louise
Avenue was actually cut through and if 130 foot depth would
be acceptable as a uniform measure.
Mayor Dennis advised Mr. Allen that certain requirements are
set up by the Planning Commission with which Council concurs.
Councilman Phillips moved that the Hearing be closed.
Upon questioning by Mayor Dennis, the City Attorney stated
that where a person has undergone expense to undertake a
development which is legal at the time, then the amendment
of the ordinance does not preclude him from finishing that
which he has planned and incurred expense so to do; however,
1.

if he merely has ideas which do not become accomplished before
the ordinance is amended, the fact that he merely filed an
application for a permit just before the deadline does not
of itself give him the right to proceed.
Mr. Sheahan expressed willingness to make application for a
lot split, which in the opinion of the City Attorney, would
determine proximity to a future homesite.
Councilman Phillips moved that the recommendation of the
Planning Commission be accepted and that Council deny the
request of Robert B. and Mary V. Sheahan to build a new house,
the rear line of the house to be 250.92 feet east of Santa
Anita Avenue, but that the request be modified and granted
on the condition that the back line of the rear house be
located 243.97 feet east of Santa Anita Avenue consistent
with the property at 1212 South Santa Anita Avenue.

Motion was seconded by Councilman Jacobi and carried on roll
call vote as follows:

HEARING
(Seimer)
fU'N
Appeal from Planning Commission recommendation for denial of
the request of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Seimer for permission
to erect two new dwellings on the front of their property at
1208 South Sixth Avenue.
Mayor Dennis declared the hearing open.
The City Clerk read a petition signed by 17 property owners
protesting the erection of the dwellings and a communication
received from the applicants.
The following persons addressed Council:
Mr. Harry Baylis, 1200 South Sixth Avenue,
W. H. McCauley, 1136 South Sixth Avenue,
Mrs. Genevieve Dexter, 1205 South Sixth Avenue,
Mr. Jack Samson, Jr., 1127 South Sixth Avenue,
Mr. Ralph W. Mildrum, 1212 South Sixth Avenue;
all protested proposed development of additional rental
property in the neighborhood.
Mr. Seimer, the applicant, stated that they had decided to
build additional rental property due to the fact that they must
relinquish their poultry business by the end of 1960 and that
it was their feeling that this would help defray financial
losses; that the protestants knew existing conditions when
they moved in next to a poultry ranch.
Mrs. Seimer stated that she was sorry she had brought up the
matter of having the garages detached as she was under the
impression that a permit would have been issued at that time.
I
The City Attorney explained that the erection of two
additional dwellings had to be approved by the Modification
Committee in any case, and that when that approval was
appealed by the Planning Commission, it stayed the issuance
of the permit and the matter then had been finally decided.
Councilman Camphouse then moved that the hearing be closed and
Councilman Jacobi seconded the motion which was carried
unanimously.

Councilman Camphouse further stated that when Council
adopted Ordinance No. 990 it had in mind clarification of
just such cases as this - that of additional houses being
built on R-l lots.
Councilman Phillips stated that to build three houses on
a lot this size might be all right if they were equally
spaced the length of the lot but to cram two houses at the
front building line on a 90-foot lot in effect made two
45-foot lots which certainly was neither desirable nor
compatible with the rest of the neighborhood.
'Councilman Camphouse moved that the appeal from the decision
of the Planning Commission be sustained; that the recom-
mendation of the, Planning Commission for approval of this
request to build two additional dwellings at 1208 South
Sixth Avenue be disapproved and that permission to build
two additional dwellings at said address as proposed was
denied. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion and it was
carried on roll call vote as follows:
AYES: Councilmen Camphouse, Jacobi, Phillips, Reibold and
Dennis
NOES: None

HEARING
(Senior)
~~bi
Planning Commission recommendation, as contained in their Reso-
lution No. 267, that the applicant, Reuben V. Senior,
be granted a zone variance to allow the property at 108 West
Las Tunas Drive to be used for the construction and
maintenance of a pet hospital.
Mayor Dennis declared the hearing open.
The City Clerk read communications from the following
persons:
Two letters of protest signed by Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Dolan,
8556 Skyway, Paradise, California and Douglas C. Huntington,
1814 Watson Drive, Arcadia. The following letters in favor
of the zone variance: L. A. Zima, 132 West Las Tunas Drive,
Mrs. Marian Spaulding, 175 West Live Oak, Fred E. Woolf,
103 West Las Tunas Drive, John Godfrey, 111 West Las Tunas
Drive, George J. Sullivan, 119 Las Tunas Drive, F. M. Strose,
127 West Las Tunas Drive, Mr. and Mrs. Howard W. Reese,
114 West Las Tunas Drive, Alton W. Hall, 102 West Las Tunas
Drive, Mr. and Mrs. Emanuel H. Malter, 117 Woodruff Ave.,
B. F. Brabee, 14922 East Ramona, Baldwin Park, Joe Bustelloc,
729 East Grand Avenue and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Kaufman, 50
West Woodruff Avenue.
Mr. John E. Orsi, 240 Woodruff Avenue, stated that he
represented homeowners in the area and that he was not
speaking in opposition to the pet hospital as such, or its
construction or the business methods; but that he was
opposed to spot zoning and would favor an ordinance which
would clearly define zones per se. He was appearing in the
interest of good zoning.
Attorney J. Patrick Conroy, representing the applicant,
advised Council that the property in question was in escrow
subject to the requested variance being granted; that the
builders and operators of the proposed pet hospital intended
to build a dual purpose professional building, air condition-
ed and sound proof. He then introduced Mr. Minsky, one of
the owners to be, who exhibited a colored drawing of the
proposed building, explaining its function. Mr. David Keast,
3.
11-19-57
4028
acoustical engineer, spoke at length on the sound control
advantages of the proposed building. Mr. Keast made refer-
ence to 'sound control' in place of 'sound proof'. Council-
man Reibold questioned Mr. Keast at length in an effort
to determine the effectiveness of the sound control operation.
Councilman Reibold moved that the hearing be closed.
Councilman Phillips seconded the motion and it was
unanimously carried.
Councilman Reibold then stated that he feels very deeply
on the subject of zone variances; that he believes the
value of property in Arcadia is determined by what someone
is willing to pay for it and that the amount a person is
willing to pay for a piece of property to a large extent
is determined by the sacredness and integrity of our zoning
ordinance; that he believes if Council continues to grant
variances as it has in the past few months it will material-
ly affect all the values in the city; that t~e zoning
ordinance is very specific: It states that in the case of
a variance certain conditions must be met, namely, that
there is exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the property involved or to the
intended use that do not, generally apply; that there will
be no material detrimental affect upon the public health
or welfare; that such variance is necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right
of an applicant possessed by other property in the same
zone or vicinity and that it will not affect the
comprehensive plan. He contended that the findings of the
Planning Commission did not sustain those conditions. In
section 3 it contends that this variance should be granted
because of the essential deterioration of the property
brought about by the granting of variances to other
property and indicates that it is a significant quality,
that actually the amount of the Triangle that is now under
variance is in round figures one tenth of the total area.
In section 4, where you have to sustain the point that
there will be no injury to property improvements, it
maintains that the granting of this variance would not
affect the other property in the area,
Councilman Reibold further stated that he is personally
against the granting of a variance and that he would
recommend that this be referred back to the Planning
Commission and they be asked to consider that the use of a
small pet hospital, which should include the clinic, as a
special use and be handled as individual items. He also
stated that personally he did not believe the proposed
structure would be detrimental to the area but that in all
sincerity he believes that to continue to grant variances
will go beyond the Triangle and that he is opposed to the
variance.
General discussion then ensued between the Councilmen.
Mayor Dennis asked Councilman Reibold if he would vote in
favor of granting the variance if it was in another
classification and Councilman Reibold stated that he would
if it was in accordance with the specifications contained
in the ordinance under a special use permit, and if there
was a relatively rigid application of the sound part.
Mayor Dennis stated that this would result in quite a delay.

Councilman Phillips stated that he agreed in part with Mr.
Orsi and in part with Councilman Reibold. That from time
to time they try to weigh ordinances and the building code
on something written as recently as 1949-1952. Many
operations that are in C-2 are repugnant to us now in
C-2; that there should be a down-grading of some operations
that are contemplated for the future; that this was done
very recently by providing a special zone for professional
buildings, architects, offices, doctors offices, doctors
clinics, etc. called C-O.
Councilman Phillips further stated that he felt the
proposal approved by the Planning Commission was sound;
that he felt, after listening to the scientific discus-
sions and the applicant's presentation, that he felt
the applicant was sincere in his endeavor not to harm anyone
close by. He further stated that he would hesitate to hold
up the approval of this application for approximately six
months or longer in order to reclassify the property into
a special use zone.
Upon questioning as to the length of time it would take
to amend the ordinance to make pet hospitals a special use
and then to obtain a special use, City Attorney Nicklin
advised that if every step were taken at the earliest pos-
sible date, it would require approximately 28 weeks to
complete the two proceedings. He outlined the respective
steps that had to be taken and stated that experience
indicated that two such proceedings would take nearer a
year than half a year.
Mayor Dennis stated that the purpose of a variance was well
stated this evening; that in his opinion the applicant was
conscientiously attempting to construct a good type of
development for the area; that it was unreasonable to
expect people not to make such an endeavor for improvement
of their property. He further stated that it was his
hope that the other members of the Council would give
serious consideration to their vote as he felt that this
development would in no way depreciate property values
and that he felt it would be an attractive addition to the
Triangle.
Councilman Phillips stated that he felt the Planning Commis-
sion's resolution had fulfilled all the requirements; that
he would support a motion to change the zoning ordinance
but as to this particular application he would now move that
the Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Com-
mission and approve Resolution No. 267 and approve the
variance request of Reuben C. Senior. Councilman Camphouse
stated that he would second the motion in order to bring it
to a vote, although he would vote against it.
AYES: Councilmen Phillips and Dennis
NOES: Councilmen Camphouse, Jacobi and Reibold
ABSENT: None
Councilman Reibold asked how to initia~e an amendment to the
zoning ordinance. The City Attorney advised that the Coun-
cil could request the Planning Commission to do so by simple
motion, in which event the Planning Commission could insti-
tute the proceedings by adoption of a resolution; or the
Council could institute such proceedings itself by adopting
a resolution; that the first procedure would be the quicker.

The City Manager recommended approval of Requests No's 1
and 2; No. 3 provided prior arrangements are made with the
Police Department; No.4; and recommended disapproval of No.
5. The City Manager felt that the matter of permitting
persons to be taken for helicopter rides would present a
hazard to the safety of people in the area, and the problem
of setting up a new business for which a business license
would be required; also that setting aside the parking area
necessary for such take-off and landing purposes would not be
consistent with the basic purpose of parking districts, i.e.
to provide space for shoppers' automobiles.
The City Attorney reminded Council that a District Parking
Board should be appointed for Parking District No.2, and the
approval of the Boards of Parking Place Commissioners obtained
be~ore Parking District Lots could be used.
Councilman Reibold moved that the recommendation of the City
Manager be approved subject to securing permission to use
the property from the Boards of Parking Place Commissioners of
Parking Districts No. 1 and No.2, and that Section 18 of
Ordinance 737, as amended by Ordinance 823, be waived; and
that permission be granted the Downtown Arcadia Business
Association to hold its Christmas night opening;and announcement
party of the new off-street parking lots to the shopping
public on December 13 and 14, 1957, subject to the above stated
conditions. Councilman Jacobi seconded said motion and it was
carried unanimously.
Recommendation of the City Manager that approval be given the
request of the First Baptist Church to conduct a baby sitting
nursery in its church kindergarten room a few days each week

of pre-school children with their Christmas shopping and to
advertise this in the neighborhood newspaper without the need
of license and trained nurses; also for its youth groups to
solicit door to door the sale of candy, mistletoe, fruit cakes,
etc.
Councilman Camphouse moved that section 18 of Ordinance 737 as
amended by Ordinance 823 be waived; and that permission be
granted the First Baptist Church to conduct a baby sitting
nursery in its church kindergarten room a few days each
week beginning the first week of December without the neces-
sity of securing a license or trained nurses, and to advertise
same in the neighborhood newspaper and also for its youth
groups to solicit door to door the sale of candy, mistletoe,
fruit cakes, etc.; said activities to terminate by the 24th
of December, 1957; said motion was seconded by Councilman
Reibold and carried unanimously.
Recommendation of the City Engineer that the bids received
November 19, 1957 for the construction of an automatic

estimate of $8,300.00 for this work and the bids received
