Councilman Balser moved that the minutes of the regular meeting of
April 15, 1958 be approved as submitted in writing. Councilman
Reibo1d seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously.
Councilman Jacobi introduced Mrs. Clifford M. Wofford of 1812 S.
Baldwin Avenue and Mrs. Donald D. Hughes of 477 Walnut Avenue.
Whereupon Mrs. Wofford addressed the Council, stating that on
behalf of the Arcadia Leona Club it was her privilege to present
to the City a check for $300.00 to be used for the purchase of a
flagpole for the Wilderness Area. Mayor Phillips expressed the
appreciation of the City for this donation. .
Mayor Phillips declared the hearing open on the request of Vivian
J. Margolin for a zone variance to permit property located at the
northwest corner of Santa Anita Avenue and Las Tunas Drive, to be
used for C-3 and PR-1 purposes, said request having been recom-
mended for approval by the Planning Commission Resolution No, 279.
The City Clerk stated that she had received three additional
communications regarding said recommendation; namely: one petition
bearing the signatures of 34 property owners located on Sandra
Avenue, requesting that Sandra Avenue remain a dead-end street and
that a ten foot buffer strip be established along the west side of
said property, and two communications, signed by R. V. Senior,
119 W. Live Oak, Alton W. Hall, 102 W. Las Tunas Drive, Mr. and
Mrs. Fred E. Woolf, 103 Las Tunas Drive, Mr. and Mrs. Schober,
102 Sandra and Esther M, Engleman, 108 Sandra respectively, in
favor of the recommendation.
Mayor Phillips then proclaimed the hearing open for the purpose
of hearing first the proponents of the recommendation and then the
opponents thereof.
No proponents desired to be heard,
Mr. Robert Moser, 62 West Woodruff Avenue, addressed the Council,
presenting a petition containing 82 signatures of property owners
on Woodruff and Sandra Avenues, protesting the proposed variance
recommendation. He commented that probably some of the Sandra
Avenue protestants were the same as on the petition the City Clerk
had previously mentioned. He added that approximately fifty of
the eighty-two protestants are property owners within 300 feet of
the proposed deve19pment. He also exhibited a drawing showing
three different elevations of the proposed development.
He continued in substance that the most important factors to

\"
consider were the opening of Sandra Avenue to Las Tunas Drive,
which would increase traffic on a residential street; would
result in cruising of motor vehicles for parking places; would
change Sandra Avenue from residential to semi-commercial status;
and, in his own case, would endanger the health and welfare of
his family by reason of the close proximity of the proposed auto-
mobile parking ramp which was only 25 feet from his bedroom
window, He commented on the fact that construction was proposed
to start within six months of the effective date of the variance,
to be completed within three years, and queried as to whether the
proposed protective wall would be erected before construction
commenced. He also questioned the published statement in the
press that this proposed development would cost approximately
eleven million dollars, citing instances of other comparable
developments that cost less than half such amount.
I
In conclusion he stated in substance that as a compromise the
residents of Woodruff and Sandra Avenues were willing to accept
the third (or lowest diagram shown) diagram, including the follow-
ing restrictions: that all buildings would be restricted to the
present C-3 zoning which faces Las Tunas; that all lights be
directed away from residential property; that no illuminated
signs be p!~ced to the north or east of the buildings; that the
parking area be used for parking only; that the change be made by
variance so that city officials will retain control; that changes
be final and that provisions be drawn for enforcement of such
restrictions.
Mr. Donald R. !Crag, of the law firm of Krag and Krag, Alhambra,
California, addressed the Council, stating in substance that he
was appearing on behalf of the Arcadia Congregational Church, not
on the basis of protesting the requested variance, but merely to
offer a few suggestions and recommendations, one being the matter
of the water easement; that the Church requested that should there
be any conditions or restrictions imposed on the proposed develop-
ment that no infringement be inadvertently placed on this particu-
lar easement. Also, that it was the understanding of the Church
that the Planning Commission recommended a wall be constructed
extending down the north' side of the proposed development, which
would be the south side of the church boundary and that it was the
suggestion of the church that the Council give consideration to
requiring that said wall be continued to surround the church in
order to avoid having an open area from the parking lot into the
rear of the church yard, thus avoiding the blowing of trash into
the yard and the trespass of the church premises,
To Councilman Reibold's query as to whether the matter of the
water easement was a civil matter, Mr. Krag replied that unless
the proposed developer of the property disrupts the easement it
is a matter between the developer and the Church; however, should
the developer attempt to cut off the easement the Church would
have no recourse except civil action; that in his opinion it is
pretty clear that the church has a right of easement from the
nature of the sale and that there is a civil obligation to continue
the easement or to work something out satisfactory to the church.
I
Mr. D. S. Clark, 103 Sandra Avenue, addressed the Council, stating
that the proposed variance would adversely affect him as a home
owner more than any other person except Mr. Robert Moser, because
of the close proximity of the parking area to his property; that
it would deprive him of privacy; that he advocated a buffer zone
of ten feet in width being established along the west side of the
property.
Mr. Alexander J. Clark, 109 Sandra, addressed the Council, stating
that he represented the majority of the property owners on Sandra
Avenue who opposed the extension of Sandra Avenue, He stressed
the parking problem and the cruising of overflow automobiles on
Sandra Avenue attempting to find parking places, and also the
fact that too much development for the amount of available parking
space results in traffic congestion. He also mentioned that

proponents of the extension of Sandra Avenue stress the point that
at this time the people on that street do not have adequate
police and fire protection and pointed out that such protection
would be coming from the north and west and not from the south,
into which Sandra Avenue Extension would feed.
Mr, Joseph Kauffman, 50 W. Woodruff Avenue addressed the Council,
stating in substance that he had moved into his home about five
years ago and at that time had been assured by the Planning Com-
mission that the zoning in effect at that time would be maintained.
Councilman Reibo1d then suggested that it might be a good idea for
the City Engineer to describe for the record the proposed plan.
Whereupon the City Engineer described in detail the sketch that
was exhibited, which sketch is on file in the office of the City
Clerk.
Mr, John P. Schober, 102 Sandra Avenue addressed the Council,
inquiring as to whether the ditch now on his property, would be
removed if the street was extended, to which the City Engineer
replied that this ditch was only a temporary expedient and would
be removed when the street was extended.
A general discussion then ensued and Councilman Reibo1d stated in
part that he did not favor the double deck parking, that he did
favor a ten foot buffer planted by the applicant and that he
believed the entire matter should be held over and more study
given it. Councilman Camphouse commented that he also did not
favor double deck parking, being more in favor of lower level
parking areas, and that he felt that a perfect solution for the
use of this property that would satisfy everyone concerned would
never be reached.' Councilman Balser said that he favored the
compromise plan (No.3) exhibited by Mr. Moser.
Councilman Camphouse then moved that the hearing be closed, which
motion was seconded by Councilman Reibold and carried unanimously.
Councilman Camphouse further moved that the matter be taken under
advisement and Counc1lman Balser seconded the motion, which was
carried unanimously.
Mayor Phillips declared the hear1ng open on the request of Jack
Adlor Ferron, 210J-A Hunt1ngton Place, South Pasadena, for a
permit to conduct house to house solicitat10n for orders to
paint house numbers on curbs.
The C1ty Clerk stated that 1nvest1gat10n revealed that the
app11cant des1red to so11c1t between the hours of ~:OO A.M. and
S:uO P.M. Mondays through Fridays; that this is the first time
they have attempted to conduct such an operation; that the cost
of painting said numbers would be $1.00 and that approval of the
house owner would be received prior to the painting; that a sample
of the contemplated work has been submitted and that the applicant
is present,
Mayor Phillips then inquired if anyone in the audience desired to
be heard in favor of or in opposition to the said application.
Mr. Jack Ad10r Ferron then addressed the Council and explained the
proposed method of operation; which in substance is as stated by
the City Clerk above.
No one else desiring to speak Councilman Jacobi moved that the
hearing be closed. Councilman Balser seconded the motion and it
was carried unanimously.
Councilman Jacobi moved that a permit be granted the applicant to
conduct house to house solicitation for orders to paint house
numbers on curbs. Councilman Reibo1d seconded the motion,

it is proper to impose whatever conditions are deemed reasonable
and necessary. That if it is Council's desire that one of the
conditions of the permit be that the painting could not be done
until approval of the home owner is received and the price
determined, the motion granting the permit should so state.
A general discussion then ensued and the applicant was questioned
as to the type of paint and machine to be used for the work.
Councilman Camp house commented that he would like to see the
applicant contact youth organizations, such as the Scouts, and
working together it would benefit the community in two ways,
Councilman Jacobi concurred in this; whereupon he withdrew his
original motion and suggested that the applicant contact youth
organizations, work out a program with them and then come back to
the Council. Councilman Camphouse then moved that the matter be
taken under advisement. Councilman Reibo1d seconded the motion
and it was carried unanimously,

Merle Hards, 1925 Ear1ington Avenue, Duarte, for a permit to

of or in opposition to the said application.
No one desiring to be heard Councilman Camphouse moved that the
hearing be closed, which motion was seconded by Councilman Reibo1d

Edward Merle Hards and that a permit be granted him to solicit

most totally blind, but has a very small percentage of sight in
one eye; and that his wife drives him to the location and he does
the actual selling.
Councilman Reibold inquired how Mr. Glick could tell if a no

him.
Mr, Glick then addressed the Council, stating in substance that
his wife did not go door to door with him; that she drove him to
the territory and picked him up at the end of the day; that he
is aware of the new ordinance; that since he still has 3% vision
he can see a no solicitors sign of a certain size when he is

Huntington and also the c-o z~ne. I definitely feel that the

against the Los Angeles County Flood Control District in the
amount of $7,340.43 for the relocation by the City of the City's

was work~ng closely with the Police Officer Reddington in the plan-
ning of said safety check and the cooperation of the Council in
granting said request would be appreciated.
Mayor Phillips stated that the Council had a policy of permitting
overhead banners to only the Los Angeles County Fair, the local
Community Chest, Red Cross and the Blood Bank. Councilman Reibold
stated that he was in favor of granting this particular request
for an overhead banner as it was in connection with accident
prevention methods, and that perhaps Council should explore the
matter further to ascertain just what the people want regarding
banners.

held on the matter, or that a committee be appointed to determine
policy regarding street banners.

stated that it was his understanding, when he seconded the motion,
that the motion was that "their request be approved, period,"

repeated his motion, and Councilman Reibold reiterated that this
was not his understanding of the motion; that he had thought the
motion was that "you grant their request" and their request

Councilman Camphouse suggested that the Mayor write a letter of
thanks to the Arcadia Leona Club for their donation to the
Wilderness Area fund. Mayor Phillips requested the City Manager
to write such a letter.
Councilman Jacobi commented on the illegal rate of 90 miles per
hour speed of cars going through Arcadia and felt that a letter
should be written to Judge Spurgeon advising him that the City
frowns on such speed. The City Manager stated that he was not
aware of such excessive speed; that he had not received any
reports to that effect. Councilman Jacobi stated that he would
investigate further.
Councilman Reibold commended the Street Department on the excel-
lent job they did during the storm that swept Arcadia several
weeks ago and commented to the City Engineer that knowing how this
had probably put the department behind in its tree program that
perhaps it might be advantageous to hire outside help in order
for his department to get caught up. The City Engineer replied
that he had given consideration and thought to the problem and
would submit a written report on the matter.
Mayor Phillips advised that a state-wide conference on Urban
Renewal and Redevelopment, sponsored by the California State
Chamber of Commerce League of California Cities and the County
Supervisor's Association of California are holding a one day
conference on May 22,1958 at the Fairmount Hotel, San Francisco,
from 9:30 A.M. until 4:00 P,M,: that it would be advantageous to
the City to send representation. Councilman Camp house suggested
that since it might be of benefit to the Engineering Department
that the City Engineer attend; that he himself might be able
to attend also.
Councilman Reibold moved that two persons be authorized to attend
the conference to be held on May 22, 1958 in San Francisco,
expenditures to be substantiated by an itemized expense account
upon return. Councilman Balser seconded the motion and it was
carried on roll call vote as follows:
