PRESENT : ABSENT : Councilmen Balser, Camphouse, Jacobi, Reibold, Phillips None Councilman Reibold moved that the minutes of the regular meeting of July 1, 1958, as submitted in writing, be approved. Councilman 'Jacobi seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously. Mayor Phillips declared the hearing open on the application of Hal Broadhead for a business permit to install one skill game machine at the Coventry Inn, 302 East Foothill Boulevard. The City Clerk advised that no communications had been received on the matter. Mayor Phillips then inquired if anyone in the audience wished to be heard in favor of the granting of the requested permit , Mr. Hal Broadhead, the applicant, addressed the Council, stating that he had nothing to add to the information already on his application. However, upon being questioned by the various Councilmen he elicited the following information: That he is doing business at Coventry Inn, 302 East Foothill, Arcadia, together with a partner, one Harry Albert Williams, presently at Fort Ord, serving six months in the National Guard; that he has been in business with said partner since May 1st; that he is 22 years of age and his partner 23 years; that he is now residing at 5432 McCulloch Ave., Temple City and that his partner's residence is 440 Segovia, San Gabriel; that prior to that both he and his partner had resided and attended school in Arcadia, having graduated from the Arcadia-Monrovia-Duarte High School in 1954. To Mayor Phillips' question as to whether or not he was aware that a similar application for a skill game at Coventry Inn had been turned down by the Council in April, Mr. Broadhead replied that he was aware of that fact; however, that said application had been submitted by Leighton K. Coats of the Kenro Music Co., vendor of games of skill; that he and his partner anticipated purchasing the skill game outright, and that he thought the Council would be more favorably inclined toward an owner and also a local person. Councilman Camphouse inquired if Mr. Broadhead's name was the only one appearing on the "M" license and w'as he the only one that had made application before the State Board of Equalization, to which Mr. Broadhead replied in the affirmative. Mayor Phillips then inquired if anyone cared to speak in opposition 1. 7-15-58 I~ 432:1 HEAllING (Kunin 6 Sons) -:;.. / to the granting of the application. No one desiring to be heard, Councilman Balser moved that the hearing be closed; which motion was seconded by Councilman Camphouse and carried unanimously. Councilman Balser commented that it is well known that Arcadia has a very strict policy of denying permits for games of skill; that they serve no useful purpose; and that, in view of such policy, he moved that the request of Hal Broadhead, for a permit to inltall one skill game machine at the Coventry Inn, 302 East . Foothill Boulevard, be denied. Councilman Jacobi seconded the motion. Mayor Phillips remarked that Arcadia does have a few skill game permits that have been renewals, but that it has been the City's policy to deny applications for new installations. Councilman Camphouse commented that some of the licenses were actually granted prior to the time any of the present members were on the Council. I The motion having been made and seconded, it was then passed unani1llOualY. Mayor Phillips declared the hearing open on the application of Jean McCormick, 4122 Forestda1e, Covina, Jessie Triplett, 18851 Groverdale, Covina, and Emma Miller, 3222 Fracier, Baldwin Park, for business permits to ~olicit door to door the sale of frozen food products for Kunin & Sons. The City Clerk advised that she had received no communications regarding said applications, Mayor Phillips then inquired if anyone in the audience wished to be heard either in favor of or against the granting of the requested permits. Mr. Donald W. Longevay, 524 Sunquist Street, LaPuente, addressed the Council, stating that he wished to speak on behalf of the three applicants, and thereupon proceeded to explain, in part, the method of operation of Kunin & Sons, as follows: That the appli- cants solicit door to door and attempt to make appointments for later dates with the company's salesmen, who then present different type plans for purchasing frozen foods, staple foods and freezers;. that the salesmen set up plans for monthly payments for the food which is incorporated in the price of the freezer; however, the person may purchase the food plan only or the freezer only; that the cost of the food is on a wholesale basis; that all perishable food is delivered directly to the person and all staple foods may be purchased at the company warehouse at 4606 West Adams, Los Angeles. In answer to various questions put to him by the Councilmen, Mr. Longevay also added that his. company is familiar with Ordinance No. 1006, which prohibits solicitation at posted premises and intends to comply with such ordinance; that his company's address is 155 West Badillo, Covina, California; that they have a County health permit for the sale of food door to door; that" they have solicited throughout Southern California, including Ontario, Covina, West Covina, as well as cities in Orange County. I . }" No one desiring to speak against the granting of the requested permits, Councilman Jacobi moved that the hearing be closed. Councilman Camphouse seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously. Councilman Jacobi then moved that the Council grant the requests of Jean McCormick, Emma Miller and Jessie Triplett for permits to solicit door to door in accordance with their applications, and upon condition that all other applicable ordinances be complied with at all times, Councilman ReibqJd seconded the motion and it was carried on roll call vote as follows: 2. 7-15-58 I I HEARING (Melus1.n) i'I07 ,I HEARING (Cain) .f"~ iI> 1 III "O)<J/ ':fl:t...)!-a''''' AYES: Councilmen Balser, Jacobi, Reibold, Phillips NOES: Councilman Carnphouse ABSENT: None Mayor Phillips declared the hearing open on the application of Stanley Melusin for a business permit to solicit door to door the sale of tapestries. The City Clerk advised that she had received no communications regarding said application. Mayor Phillips inquired if anyone in the audience wished to speak in favor of or against the granting of the requested permit. Mr. Stanley Melusin addressed the Council, stating that he resided at 2189~ Dolores Street in Pasadena; that he desired to solicit door to door between the hours of 9:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. and evenings by appointment, the sale of imported tapestries from Belgium, Holland and France; that he carried tapestries up to $18,00 in stock at his above mentioned address and that he took orders for those costing over $18.00 as they were ordered on demand from Belgium, Holland or France. That he receives no payment until the goods are delivered, and that he lists his Pasadena address for sales tax purposes. No one desiring to speak against the granting of the requested permit Councilman Reibold moved that the hearing be closed. Said motion seconded by Councilman Balser and carried unanimously, Councilman Reibold then moved that the application of Stanley Me1usin for a permit to solicit door to door be granted in accordance with his application on condition that all other applicable ordinances be complied with at all times. Councilman Jacobi seconded the motion and it was carried on roll call vote as fo llows : AYES: Councilmen Balser, Jacobi, Reibold, Phillips NOES: Councilman Camphouse ABSENT: None The City Attorney suggested that the Mayor or Controller sometime throughout a period of a year contact the State Board of Equali- zation, advise them of the solicitation permits that have been issued and double-check to make sure that they are pro-rating the sales tax collected on the basis of the formula that applies to solicitors generally. Mayor Phillips declared the hearing open on Planning Commission Resolution No. 291 recommending denial of the application filed by Philip C, and Kathleen F. Cain for a zone variance to permit the construction of an additional dwelling at 1320 South Second Avenue. The City Clerk read letters in favor of the requested zone variance from the following persons, which letters are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Arthur Halstedt. 1508 So.

Second Avenue, the appellant, addressed the Council, stating that he had nothing to add to his application but that he would be glad to answer any questions. No one desir- ing to ask him any questions, Mayor Phillips then l.nquired if anyone desired to speak in opposit1.on to the applicat1.on. 3. 7-15-58 .',iI')Q~ "i!:t...)~....)r ~; ': Mr. Donald L. Morgan, 1404 South Second Aven~e, addressed the Council, 2.t8f:ing that he had brought with him several COlmIllmica.tions from r.esi- dents opposing the requested zone variance, which the City Clerk read, Said letters are from the following persons: Donald L. and Carolyn B. Morgan, 1404 S. Second Avenue, William L. and Sara Frances Amendt, 1400 S. Second Avenue, Mrs. Mary V. Stephens, 1408 S. Third Avenue, Mr. and Mrs. Ted Emm, 166 E. Pamela Road, Mr. and Mrs. C. E.

Second Avenue, addressed the Council, stating I in part that the majority of the residents in the vicinity of the applicant feel Council and the Planning Commission have done a commenda- ble job, but that they find it difficult to understand why the zoning should be mixed, and that to permit multiple dwellings in the area would reduce property values. Councilman Camphouse requested the City Clerk to read into the records Planning Commission Resolution No. 291: "RESOLUTION NO. 291 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THE DENIAL OF A REQUESTED ZONE VARIANCE TO PERMIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ADDITIONAL DWELLING AT 1320 SOUTH SECOND AVENUE, WHEREAS, there was filed with this Commission on March 31, 1958, the application of Philip C. Cain and Kathleen F. Cain, as owners, for a zone variance to permit the erection of one addi- tional dwelling on the rear portion of the following described property in the City of Arcadia, County of Los Angeles, State of California, to wit: . The north 90 feet of the south 190 feet of the west 220 feet of Lot 29, Tract No. 808, as shown on map recorded in Book 16, pages 82 and 83, of Maps, Records of said County, located at 1320 South Second Avenue; and, WHEREAS, after notice required by Ordinance No. 760 of said City, as amended, a public hearing was duly held on the matter by and before this Commission on the 22nd day of April, 1958, which hearing was duly continued to May 13, 1958, at each of which times all interested persons were given a full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence; I NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY DETER- MINES AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. That there were protests, both written and oral, to the granting of the variance on the grounds that although subject property is a large lot, it is in a neighborhood with many expensive single dwellings; that the construction of a rental on the rear of the property would deteriorate the value of the single resi- dences in the neighborhood, and would not be compatible with the construction in the area. That subject property was owned by appli- ,cant for some three years during most of which time applicant could have built an additional dwelling, as could have owners of other lots in, the same vicinity; that very few lots in the vicinity were so \, 4, 7-15-58 (Hearing - Cain .. Cout'd) -J " ,. ,t or .l' I I ..:" .4324 developed, and applicant's property was not Dsed to its fullest ext~nt during said period of time. SECTION 2. rhat it was not shovn that there are excep- tional circumstances applir;abJ.p. to subject property, nor that. tbe variance is necp.ssa~.-y for the pr.esp..rvQti.oo and p.njoyw.8lJ,t of substan- tial property righcs of the applicant posseosed by other property in the sa~p. vicinity and znnp.. That the granting of the requested var- iance would be injurious to propert.y and improvements in the same vicinity and zone and would adversely affect the comprehensive ~en- eral plan. SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons, this Commission recommends to the City Council chat the requested variance for the construction of an additional dwelling at l320 South Second Avenue be denied. SECTION 4. this Resolution and to the City Council The Secretary ~hall certify to the adoption of shall cause a copy of the same to be forwarded of the City of Arcadia. I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing Resolution was adopted at a regular meeting of the City Planning Commission held on the lOth day of June, 1958, by the following vote: AYES: Commissioners Acker, Davison, Forman, Michler and Vachon NOES: None ABSENT, Commissioners Pratt and Robertson FRANK VACHON Chairman ATTEST: L. M. TALLEY Secretary" To Councilman Balser's inquiry as to the percentage of lots between Camino Real Avenue and Duarte Road having mor.e than one house at the present time, he was informed that 25,91% are now developed with two or more dwellings; that within 300 feet of the property at 1234 South Second Avenue on both sides of Second Avenue there are l6 lots, of which six, or 37.5% have more than one house; that within 300 feet of the prope rty at 152.0 South Second Ave.nue. there are 17 lots, of which five, or 29.41% have more than one house. Councilman Balser stat.ed that he feels Ordinance No. 990 is basically very good for Arcadia; however, that he thinks its original intent and design was primarily to prevent rear houses being built in areas that still had a good chance of being subdivided, but that in certain landlocked areas, "'here the rear streets are already developed it would be unfair, especially if 25% to 37% of the lots in the area already have two houses: t.hac in his opinion the people should be entitled to relief through the variance provisions. He cited the case of Richard M. Canzoneri, 535 West Lemon Avenue, where Council, at ics July 1st meeting, granted Mr. Canzoneri a variance to erect a second dwelling on his lot, Mayor Phillips remi"de.d C:ouncUman Balser that in that instance the case differed in that Mr. Canzoneri's application for a zone variance was for the regular six months period, whereas Mr. Cain had requesced a two-year variance. To which Councilman Balser replied that he, of course, would not agree to a two-year variance but that the application should be considered for a six months variance. Councilman Camphouse moved tnat the hearing be closed, which motion was seconded by Councilman Jacobi and carried unanimously. 5. 7-J.5-58 4325 (Hearing - Cain - Continued) '1 ;. ~ Councilman Camphouse then stated that he thought Councilman Balser had pointed out some very important facts ~nd indicated that the basic concept of Ordinance No. 990 was to provide the EL~chinery to e~ecute proper development of the land in the back of deep lots. He added that he felt the application in essence is not for a variance but for a zone change, in that it exceeds the usual six months; that the original application was for ten years, which the applicant later changed to two years and that the applicant also agreed to abide by the requirements of Ordinance No. 990 and build a bouse larger than 900 square feet, but that he felt the Council should follow a consistent pattern, not only in this case but with regard to other such appli- cations, with regard to the limitation of time on zone variances; and that taking into consideration these factors, it was his opinion that if Council agreed to approve the zone variance in this matter it should be for only six months; that the matter should be returned to the Plan- ning Commission; that the Council should deny it without prejudice, in which instance the applicant would not forfeit his fee and would be able to resubmit it in accordance with the variance requirements. I Councilman Camphouse then stated that on the basis of the above he moved that Council sustain the action of the Planning Commission and deny the application without prejudice. Councilman Reibold, upon inquiry, was informed the filing fee is $25.00. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion. The City Attorney advised that in his opinion such "denial without prejudice" would in this case be improper. That a decision without prejudice technically implies a reservation of final judgment based upon the same facts. That in this case, the motion presupposed a referral of the matter back to the Planning Commission so that the Council's final decision might be upon different facts. Furthermore, in zoning hearings before both the Plann<ng Commission and the Council, property owners are entitled to noticc of all hearings and such a "decision with- out prejudice" is therefore different than a similar decision in a matter that does not require notice. Also, the motion contemplated a referral of the matter to the Planning Commission which had already recommended against any modifications or variances and that therefore the Council's action would probably be an idle act. He suggested that the Council either sustain the Planning Commission, overrule the Plan- ning Commission and grant the variance, or refrain from any decision and refer the matter back to the Planning Commission for further study. Councilman Camphouse thereupon rescinded his motion and Councilman Reibold withdrew his second thereof. Councilman Camphouse thereupon moved that the Council sustain the action of the Planning Commission and authorize the applicant to file a new application without a filing fee, Motion was seconded by Councilman Reibold. Then the City Attorney further advised that if Council were to refer the matter back to the Planning Commission with an indication of I Council's thinking, the applicant could amend his application before the Commission by stating his willingness to limit his request to a six months' variance; that he did not think it a sound practice to deny an application of this kind and permit refiling without the payment of fees. Whereupon Councilman Camphouse withdrew his motion and moved that the Council refer this matter to the Planning Commission with this specific notation: "That realizing the reasons set forth in Resolution No. 291 for denial, in addition it be noted that in contrast to the previous application under 990 that was granted by the Council two weeks ago, this particular application has no set of plans." Mr. Cain then addressed the Council again and stated that since the issue seemed to be the time element he would be in accord with the standard six months zone variance; that this would press him but that he could start construction within that time or shortly thereafter, 6. 7.-15- 58 (Hearing Cain - continued). 1.1'-' t, .

Mayor Phillips agreed and added that the Planning Com:nission is g.:>ing to have to bear the brunt throughout en the heaxings on Ordinance No. 990; that in such a vital matter as decisions on 990 he hesitates to change their decisions by am~ndments; that he would rather they had a chance to fully argue the point. The City Attorney commented that an applicant is generally entitled to a prompt decision but that in this case a referral of th" matter. back to the Planning Co=iss'ion .70nld ",ork. no hardship upon applicant because of his statement that a six rnCloths datf\ line w')uld impose a hardship upon him, so that further delay wO'Jld be beneficial rath"r than harmful to him. Mayor Phillips then said that there had been a motion made by C01.ncil- man Camphouse end asked for a second. Councilman Jacobi seconded the motion and it was carr.ied on roll call vote as follows: AYES, Councilmen Balser, Camphouse, Jacobi, Phillips NOES: Councilman Reibold ABSENT: None Councilman Camphouse inquired if the City had any alternative other than to grant an application if all the require~.nts for a variance had been met by an applicant. The City Attorney replied that if the record cc.ntains facts found by thf'. C"\)n.<;i1 to be true" which facts fulfill all the c.,mditions r.equired for. the granting of a "ariance" then. the applicant is entitled to the vaxiance. That the Council has a jurisdictional discreti.on to exercise in determining the facts from the evidence in the record; that the variance provisions of the Zoning Ordinance are a safety valve to protect the constitutionality of the ordinance itseJ.f against its application to conditions which otherwise would make the ordinance unreasonable and arbitrary in a given case. Councilman Camphouse then added that the Council in essence conducts a hearing to determine the facts; that if the facts found support a var1ance, the Council has no alternative but to grant the application; that although he 'personally does not approve variances for more than one house on a lot and fought against the Canzoneri app11cat1on at the July 1st Council. meeting, t.hat nevertheless 1f the facts requ1red tor a VarL2nCe are tcuna to eXLsts the CouncLl should grant a varLance ~ 7. '. 7 -15- 58 .4327 HEARING (Meade) tf?{\ Mayor Phillips declared the hearing open on Planning Commission Resolution No. 292, recommending denial of the application of Giles G. Meade and Emma D. Meade, for a zone variance to permit the construction of two additional dwellings at 1234 S. Second Ave. The City Clerk read letters in favor of the requested zone variance from the following persons: Mr. and Mrs. G. G. Meade, 1234 So. Second Ave. (the applicants) Ralph Hord, 1301 So. Third Ave. Arthur Upham and Mabel F. Upham, 1166 So. Second Ave. James A. Duncan, 1307 So. Third Ave. Fred Pink, 1212 So. Second Ave. I Mrs. Lois Gates, 1309 So. Second Ave. Leroy S. Goodman, 1231 So. Third Ave. Roxie F, Wilson, 1121 S. Second Avenue, and . letters protesting the granting of the requested zone variance from the following: James R. and Annette C. Mamer, 1221 So. Third Ave. F. S. Campbell, 1211 So. Third Avenue V. Vartanian, 1215 So. Third Ave. The Mayor then inquired if anyone wished to speak in favor of the application. Mr. Meade, the applicant, addressed the Council, stating in substance that the purchasers of property in the vicinity of his home knew that the deep lots existed and that the property could be improved with additional units; that he intended erect- ing a wall around his property which would insure privacy; that his neighbors were in favor of the granting of his application; that he felt additional dwellings on the deep lots would enhance rather than deteriorate the value of the property in the area. Mayor Phillips then asked if anyone in the audience desired to speak in opposition to the application. No one desired to be heard. A general discussion ensued, wherein it was the consensus of the Councilmen that this matter was similar to the application of Philip C. Cain, heard just prior to this hearing, with the exception that Mr. Meade's request was for two additional houses to be erected on his lot, and that he had indicated. willingness to reduce his request from two years to the usual six months, as contained in applicant's letter read earlier. Councilman Jacobi then inquired of Mr, Meade whether he would accept a six months variance, to which Mr. Meade replied that he would be willing if it was subject to renewal. Councilman Jacobi commented that there would be no point in granting a six months variance if the applicant intended to renew it. I The City Attorney advised that Ordinance No. 760 provides that a variance shall lapse at the end of six months if it be not used within the meantime unless, within that six months period, application is made for an extension, and if good cause be shown for an extension, an extension can be granted. Councilman Jacobi commented that just a short time ago he had sold his home, located in the vicinity of Mr. Meade's property, with no difficulty; that his lot was quite large (92\ x 300' as compared to Mr. Meade's of l39 x 300'); that the size of his lot and the fact that it had a single dwelling on it had not deteriorated the value of his property or slowed up its sale. 8. 7-15-58 I ORDINANCE No. 1020 (Adopted) 1 if ",; I ORDINANCE No. 1021 (Introduced) , ":<'4328 Councilman Reibold remarked that in fairness, on requests for renewals, if there is no new condition existing at such time that did not exist at the time of the original granting, he could not see how a renewal could be granted. Councilman Camphouse added that he thought there was a significant difference between this matter and Mr. Cain's, in that this one in essence is more of a zone change than the other appeared to be; that he did not agree that large properties deteriorate; that in fact it had been brought to his attention that in other cities where strict standards have been maintained that although large properties might not sell as quickly, that they do sell. In Mayor Phillip's opinion the difference in the two applications is that Mr. Meade's application is in effect a request for rezon- ing, but that since specific action was taken in the Cain matter he felt that since these two properties were so close that the same procedure should be followed in this case, i.e. of referring this matter back to the Planning Commission, to which Councilmen Balser and Camphouse agreed, except that Councilman Camphouse did not agree that the two matters were similar. Councilman Jacobi moved that the hearing be closed. Councilman Camphouse seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously. Councilman Jacobi then moved that the matter be referred back to the Planning Commission; that it be called to their attention that this application has no plot or building plans, and that Council would not favorably consider more than a six months variance. Councilman Camphouse seconded the motion and it was carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: Councilmen Balser, Camphouse, Jacobi, Phillips NOES: Councilman Reibold ABSENT: None The City Attorney presented, discussed and read for the second time the title of Ordinance No. 1020, entitled: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, RECLASSIFYING CERTAIN CITY-OWNED REAL PROPERTY ON LIVE OAK AVENUE."

He commented that this is the same resolution as No. 3024, which Council adopted June 17, 1958, consenting to the annexation strip on the south side of Duarte and the west side of Baldwin Avenue. That this recites subsequent events, namely the referral of the description to the Boundary Commission, its making of minor corrections in the description without changing the actual area included, and merely reaffirms Council's consent on the revised description.
