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

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.

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:

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

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
Georgia A. Baynham, 1321 South Second Avenue

Mayor Phillips inquired if anyone in the audience wished to speak in
favor of the zone variance.
Mr. Philip C. Cain, 1320 S. . 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

(Letters on file in office of the City Clerk)
Mr. Wm. L. Amendt, 1400 S. 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

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.

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.

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,

plainly stated that. thp.y would be sOlIle.,hat in favor of the varia.n.ce

commitments to date are that he is inter.p.sted in exploring the matter
further if it be limited to sb: months and in such further expl.o..
ration would be interested in knowing in some general way the plot
plan and some general type of bui10ing plans that might be contemplated
for the place; and that if that be his thinking, then a re.ferra1 of the
matter back to the Plan.ning Co=issiot' with the notification of Mr.
Cain's willingness to accept six months and a re.quest that .they seek
a plot plan and such general tyP€. of constxuction plans as would be
indicated for their ~onsideration and recommendation back to the Council
would probably meet with the approval of at least the majority of the
Council.
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-

motion and it was carr.ied on roll call vote as follows:

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

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.

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
