Mayor Dennis declared the hearing open on the application of
Margaret Corbett, 3890 Shadow Grove Road, Pasadena, for permission
to solicit the sale of Real Silk Company products door to door.
The City Clerk stated that she had received no communication on
the subject. Mayor Dennis then inquired if anyone in the audience
desired to speak in favor of, or in opposition to the said
application.
Mrs. Margaret Corbett, 3890 Shadow Grove Road, Pasadena, addressed
the Council, stating that she was the applicant and that she had
nothing to add to the information contained in her application.
There being no other person desiring to be heard Councilman
Phillips moved that the hearing be closed, which motion was
seconded by Councilman Camphouse and carried unanimously.
Councilman Phillips .inquired of the City Attorney as to what
procedure could be followed in order to pass on this application,
and the applications of others that were awaiting the effective
date of Ordinance No. 1006 for councilmanic action, to which the
City Attorney replied that Council had the following optional
procedures it could follow:
That the first determination to be made is whether Council desires
to grant the applications; if it desires to grant them, then does
it desire them to become effective immediately, or to become
effective on April 18, 1958 (effective date of Ordinance No. 1006).
That if it desires them to become effective now, but subject to the
provisions of Ordinance No. 1006, then the provisions of Ordinance
No. 1006 could be included as conditions of the permits; however,
if it does not want them to become effective until Ordinance No.
1006 becomes effective, but desires to act on all the applications
at this meeting, it can grant the applications tonight to become
effective April 18, 1958.
Whereupon Councilman Camphouse moved that the matter of Margaret
Corbett's application for permission to solicit the sale of Real
Silk Company products door to door be taken under advisement.
Councilman Reibold seconded the motion and it was carried '
unanimously.

Councilman Phillips moved that the applications for permission to
solicit door to door of Mrs. Margaret Corbett for Real Silk products,
Mrs. Gertrude Goddard for Real Silk products, Avon Products, Inc.,
Mrs. Charlotte G. Lyon for Field Enterprises, Inc., and Mr. James
L. Pitts for E1ectro1ux, be granted to said applicants; that such
permits become effective April 18, 1958, the effective date of
Ordinance No. 1006, and in conformance with the terms and
conditions set forth in said ordinance. Councilman Canphouse
seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously.
Mayor Dennis declared the hearing open on Planning Commission
Resolution No. 276 recommending that there be a change of zone
from Zone R-3 to Zone C-O and Zone D on property located on the
south side of Huntington Blvd. from Holly Ave. to the C-Zone at
Baldwin Avenue and including two lots west of the C-Zone west of
Baldwin Avenue. He inquired of the City Clerk if she had received
any communications on the subject to which she replied that she had
received one letter from Edward G. Marshall, in favor of such zone
change.
The City Attorney pointed out that these proceedings were instituted
on the motion of the Planning Commission; that some variances have
been granted in the general area and that this was part of the long
range plan of considering areas and recommending rezoning on an
orderly planned basis rather than on individual applications; that
the Planning Commission had recommended the creation of the c-o
zone and subsequently an amendment to thet zone eliminating one of
the uses that was found from experience not to be too well adapted
to that zone; that on its own motion it instituted these proceed-
ings to consider a sizeable area for C-O zone and its recommendation
is embodied in the resolution that was transmitted to the Council.
Mayor Dennis then inquired if there was anyone in the audience who
desired to be heard on the matter.
I
Mr. A. W. Haube1t, 630 W. Huntington Blvd. addressed the Council,
stating in substance that this proposition had come up before on
several different occasions and that in his opinion it was still
the consensus of the property owners within and adjacent to the
area proposed to be rezoned that there is no urgent or general
demand or property useab1e for medical or professional purposes;
that a variance for a medical building in this locality has been
granted and can readily be granted again should demand arise; that
he was opposed to the 10 foot setback provision as compared with
the 50 foot setback observed by the present owners; that the
proposed reca11ification will lead to increased taxes without a
means of producing comparable increase in income; and that Arcadia
is more in need of multiple housing to support the existing
businesses rather than additional business districts.

A general discussion ensued and Councilman Camphouse inquired if
there was any record o~ the number of protestants at the Planning
Commission hearing, to'Wh1Ch Mr. Talley, Secretary of the Planning
Commission, who was in the audience, answered that he thought about
50% of the property owners 1n that area had protested; and 1n
answer to the question of whether 1n his opin10n the same people
would protest S1nce the setback had been changed, he replied that he
d1d not th1nk all of them would protest. He added that. the setback
change was for the rear setback of 30 teet so that there will be
vacant property for an alley at the rear ot the deep lots at some
future time when an alley is needed.
Mr. Joseph M. Spichtig, 508 W. Huntington Blvd. addressed the Council,
stating in substance that he was in favor of the rezoning if
restrictions are placed on buildings so that they will not cost
under $20,000.00. The City.Engineer pointed out that while a dollar
value restriction could not be placed on buildings erected in that
vicinity, that due to the building code requirements and the. cost
of the individual lots in that vicinity, it was improbable that a
professional building could be erected for less than $20,000.00.
The City Attorney then suggested to the Council that the hearing
be continued so that the next Council could close the hearing,
'review the proceedings and then introduce and later adopt the
ordinance relative to this matter; or it could close the hearing at
this meeting, introduce the ordinance at this meeting, have a meet-
ing prior to the regular Council meeting of April 15, 1958 and
adopt it. That his suggestion would be to close the hearing,
introduce the ordinance at this meeting and adopt it prior to the
induction of the new Council.
After due consideration being given saip suggestions Councilman
Phillips moved that the hearing on Planning Commission Resolution
No. 276 be continued to April 15, 1958. Councilman Camphouse
seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously_
Mayor Dennis declared the hearing open on Resolution of Intention
No. 2990 to establish setback line on portion of Huntington Drive
between San Rafael Road and Morlan Place. He inquired if anyone
desired to speak in favor of or in opposition to said intention.
No one desired'to be heard.
Councilman Camphouse moved that the hearing be closed, which motion
was seconded by Councilman Jacobi and carried unanimously.
The City Attorney pointed out that there is a companion action as
to which the Council has already had a hearing, to wit, the
reclassification of unzoned property to Zone C-2; that appropriate
ordinances are prepared but that he suggested they be continued to
the next Council meeting for introduction because the file would
have to be reviewed by the new council prior to adopting the
ordinances.
Councilman Camphouse moved that action on said setback be continued
to the regular Council meeting of April 15, 1958. Said motion
seconded by Councilman Reibo1d and carried unanimously.
The City Attorney presented for the second time, discussed and read
the title of Ordinance No. 1011, entitled:. "AN ORDINANCE OF THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE

2. Construct a concrete curb and gutter along the frontage of
Colorado Place and Colorado Boulevard before the issuance of
a certificate of occupancy for any building on the respective
lot, as specified in the minutes of the Council meeting of
February 4, 1958.
Motion made by Councilman Reibold, seconded by Councilman Camphouse
and carried unanimously that the recommendations of the Planning
Commission be accepted and that Lot Split No. 199 and No. 200 be
given approval subject to specified conditions.
Recommendation of Planning Commission that Lot Split No. 198 -
MARION C. KNUTSEN, 607 Sharon Road, be denied. The request is to
divide lots 11, 12 and 13, in. a new subdivision, 80 feet, 75 feet
and 75 feet respectively, to result with widths of 88 feet, 73
feet and 69 feet, for the purpose of deeding the 73 foot lot to the
former owner_ This subdivision was originally submitted showing
lots 73 feet wide, one of which was to be returned to the original
owner. The City required that the lots be made wider, resulting
in the relocated lot lines. The subdivider has offered to deed
lot 12, 74 feet wide, but the original owner insists on receiving
the exact land specified in the escrow instructions. In the
opinion of the Commission, the subdivision as now constituted is a
good use of the land, and the technicality of the escrow instructions
is not sufficient reason for making the two sub-standard width lots.
I
A general discussion ensued on the legality of the escrow
instructions, and Mr. L. M. Talley, Planning Secretary, requested
permission to address the Council, stating that he had additional
information to add to the matter; that the original owner of the
property, Mr. J. L. Reid, telephoned him and he now does not want
the 73 feet, he wants the lot as it is shown on the recorded tract
map.
Councilman Phillips moved that Council accept the recommendation of
the Planning Connnission and deny Lot Split No. 198. Councilman
Reibo1d seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously.

Planning Commission Resolution No. 278 recommending the granting of
the application of the Arcadia Professional Center for zone variance
to permit the addition at the rear of the existing medical office
for the establishment of a prescription pharmacy, and for a sign in
front of property at 600 West Huntington Boulevard.
A general discussion ensued as to whether business should be kept in
the business sections of the City as against the convenience of
pharmacies located in medical buildings both to the persons who
needed immediate prescriptions and to the doctors occupying the
premises.
The City Attorney read portions of the Planning Commission
Resolution No. 278 which stated in substance that pharmacists are
under the Business and Professions Code; that doctors can compound
their own prescriptions in their own offices; that only prescrip-
tions, medicines, home sick-room supplies and surgical appliances
are to be sold in said proposed pharmacy.
Councilman Reibold moved that the recommendation of the Planning
Commission be accepted and a variance granted upon the conditions
and the purposes therein contained. Councilman Phillips seconded
the motion and it was carried on roll call vote as follows:

The City Attorney pointed out to the Council that their motion was
to disapprove the Planning Commission's recommendation as a whole,
and as such precluded permission for a sign in front of the said
property. Whereupon Mayor Dennis moved that permission be granted
for the construction of the sign as recommended by the Planning
Commission in that portion of its recommendation pertaining to the
sign; also that the Council instruct the City Attorney to prepare
a resolution in accordance with Council's determination. Council-
man Jacobi seconded the motion and it was carried on roll call vote

Planning Commission Resolution No. 279 recommending the approval
of application of Vivian J. Margolin for zone variance to permit
property at the norwest corner of Santa Anita Avenue and Las
Tunas Drive to be used for C-3 and PR-l purposes.
Time for appeal from said recommendation elapsing April 4, 1958
and appeals from said recommendation having already been received,
Councilman Phillips moved that this matter be set for hearing on
May 6, 1958. Councilman Reibold seconded the.motion and it was
carried unanimously.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 281 recommending that the.
business of a roller skating rink be classified as a use permis-
sible in Zone C-2.
I
Mr. John Howard, 19 LaPorte Street, addressed the Council, stating
in substance that he questioned a roller skating rink in a C-2
zone without qualification; that this is dealing with a new type
of business, never encountered in Arcadia prior to this occasion;
with inherent noise and problem of traffic in the evening; that if
this is made a permissible use in any C-2 zone there would be no
reason for Council to take any specific action if an application
was made to build a roller skating rink or to make use of that
particular property for roller skating purposes. That certain
types of businesses were left out of the list of specified permis-
sible uses in preparing the zoning ordinance, and much better
control could be had in the planning of properties in the city by
leaving these uses to be determined at time of application rather
than making it a standard permissible use on any C-2 property in
the City. He asked the Council to consider this; also that only
two property owners immediately affected received notices of the
hearing before the Planning Commission and asked if it is possible
to have such matters as this brought up in a public hearing so that
property owners who would be adversely affected have an opportunity
to appear before the Council.
A general discussion ensued. Councilman Reibold stated that Mr.
Howard is bringing forth the issue of the proper classification
of the skating rink; that the other issue relative to application
for license is offset by the first issue. And that he strongly
recommended that if a public hearing is desired, that the matter
be referred back to the Planning Commission for a public hearing.
The City Attorney pointed out that the provisions of the Zoning
Ordinance provide that where there is ambiguity or uncertainty
as to any provision or any use not specifically mentioned, the
Planning Commission may investigate the situation and make its
findings and recommendations to the Council by resolution, and the
Council may consider that and by resolution can add a given use to
a particular zone. He added that one possible defect is in the
procedure in the fact that there is no advance notice other than
the statement on the agenda that a given matter is going to be
heard. He suggested that if it is advisable that a public hearing I
be held after some public notice is given, Council could either
hold it or refer it back to the Planning Commission and request
that they consider it again after publishing a notice, such as is
done when a change in the text of the zoning ordinance is proposed.
He continued that placing such a use in the special use category
gives the Planning Commission and the Council an opportunity to
consider the restrictions to be applicable upon each individual
usage under that section for many specified uses; that under
Ordinance No. 737 as amended by Ordinance No. 823 a permit is
required by the Council and under that procedure some type of
restrictions can be imposed.
Mr. Randolph Weltner, President of the Christian Youth Center ,
588 N. Larchmont Blvd., Los Angeles, the applicant for a permit
to conduct the said roller skating rink addressed the Council,

requesting that he and several other people be heard on the matter.
Mayor Dennis informed Mr. Weltner that this is not a noticed
public hearing; that the sentiment of the Council seems to be that
this should be referred back to the Planning Commission for a
regularly noticed public hearing; that the Council has adopted a
policy of discouraging new evidence at Council level not presented
'to the Planning Commission.
Councilman Reibold informed Mr. Weltner that actually his matter
was the following item on the agenda; that he had assumed that the
skating rink would automatically be in Zone C-2 but that now the
question has arisen as to whether or not that is the proper usage,
which would set aside his permit request until the matter of the
proper zone has been resolved.
Councilman Jacobi moved that the matter of the business of a roller
skating rink being classified as a use permissible in Zone C-2 be
referred back to the Planning Commission for a public hearing,
after publication of notice. Councilman Camphouse seconded the
motion and it was carried unanimously.
Mayor Dennis announced that those people in the audience who had
come to this meeting as a result of this matter, if they left
their names with the clerk, would be notified through the regular
channels; also that there would be a publication in the newspapers.
Mayor Dennis then stated that under the circumstances there would
not b e any point in taking up item lIon the agenda (communication
from Mr. Weltner, President of the Christian Youth Center, apply-
ing for permit to operate skating rink .second lot north of
LaPorte Street on the west side of First Avenue).
The City Attorney stated that Item 11 presu~poses favorable action
on item 10 (the above matter), but that comes under Ordinance
No. 737 as amended by Ordinance No, 823; that the communication
is actually a request to waive the provisions of section 18 of
Ordinance No. 823 for the reasons stated in the'communication and
to grant a permit to operate a rink at the location specified upon
the conditions outlined in the communication; that Council could
not act favorably on the application until a determination is made
on the zoning and suggested that Council continue the matter of the
request for a permit,
Councilman Phillips moved that the
placed on the pending agenda until
surrounding item 10 are resolved.

Recommendation of the City Manager and the Water Superintendent for
authorization to advertise for bids for the construction of a
reservoir roof, such roof being a replacement of the existing
roof on Orange Grove Reservoir No.2; said work being provided for
under the current budget, Water Reserve and Depreciation Fund,
Major Projects, Item No.2.
Councilman Jacobi moved that the Council accept the recommendation
of the City Manager and the Water Superintendent, and that the City
Clerk be authorized to call for bids for the construction of a
reservoir roof to replace the existing roof on Orange Grove
Reservoir No.2; said bids to be. opened April 14, 1958, at 11:00
A.M. and acted upon at the City Council meeting on April 15, 1958.
Councilman Camphouse seconded the motion and it was carried
unanimously.
The City Manager and the Water Superintendent presented to the
Council for approval a contract prepared by the Corps of Engineers,
United States Army; said contract being between the United States
Government and the City of Arcadia, providing for reimbursement to
the City for the expense to be incurred by reason of the relocation
of the City's water facilities across the proposed Santa Anita Wash
Part 1, Los Angeles County Drainage Area, California.
The City Manager explained that the City has entered into and
completed four contracts with the above agency for similar work;
that these prior contracts have been what the Government terms
"Cost Reimbursable" contracts, and that this entailed considerable
work on the part of the City both during construction and during
the Government's audit of the City's claims that is not reflected in
the City's costs.

general liquor license; that the Chief of Police has filed a protest
against the issuance of this license; and that to enable the hearing

resolution has been prepared by the City Attorney for Council's
approval. He added that the attorney for the applicant was present
and desLred to address the Council.
I
Mr. Alvin W. Hahn, lUl~ East Huntington Drive, attorney for the
applicant, addressed the council, statLng that he dLd not want to
speak at this tLme, that he only wLshed to answer any questions the
CouncLl wLshed to aSK; also to state that there is another bowling
alley in Arcadia that has on-sale liquor license.
A general discussion ensued and Mr. Hahn was asked if it was
proposed that liquor served would be taken to the alley, to which he
replied that no decision had been made on that; that applicant was
willing to cooperate with the City in whatever was required in that
regard. He also stated that the application was for a bona fide
restaurant.
The City Manager commented that this is the third .application filed
by the applicant, two of which have been denied; that he would like
to have the hearing held in Arcadia rather than in Los Angeles,
which requires a resolution by the Council.
The City Attorney inquired of Mr. Hahn whether the application filed
covers the entire premises now operated as a bowling alley, which,
if granted, would permit the applicant to serve liquor in the bowl-
ing alleys. Mr. Hahn answered to the effect that this was so but
that if an agreement is reached, certain restrictions can be included
and the applicant would have to abide by such restrictions.
Councilman Camphouse stated that he felt the only place to discuss
the issues was at a hearing and he moved that the Council accept
the recommendation of the Chief of Police and request the City

The City Manager announced that the Methodist Hospital has'
requested permission to establish a child care center at the
hospital for the children of employees of the hospital.
Councilman Reibold commented that since this does not apply to the
community as a whole but only to the hospital employees he did not think
it was a Council matter, to which the City Attorney replied that it
has been the City's policy in the past that the hospital secure
permission for all uses that are not specifically permitted by the
lease; that if it be the desire of the Council to grant this permis-
sion, that it smotion be that permission is granted to the hospital
to conduct this operation as defined, and to the extent that the
same may be applicable that the provisions of section 18 of Ordinance
No. 737 as amended by Ordinance No. 823 be waived.
Councilman Reibold moved that the Council grant the Methodist Hospital
of Southern California permission to establish a child care center

that the speed limits were to be made more "realistic"and he queried

the individual's interpretation and that so far the matter was still
in status quo.
