CAR CLUB

Mayor Gilb then introduced members of the Chariots Car Club who were
present in the audience and stated, in part, that the car club was
started in 1953 and was known as the Interceptors' Car Club. This club
was sponsored by the Arcadia Police Department and was developed for
the youth of the community as an or9anzied activity. In 1963 the
Interceptors' Car Club disbanded and then Sergeant Neal Johnson, who
is now Chief, established the Chariots Car Club. Chief Johnson has
worked as advisor for 23 years and in later years Sergeant Dan Morgan
assisted in the program. Officer Philip Henry was asked by Chief
Johnson to advise the car club. Officer Henry had joined while he was
still in high school. The Chariots Car Club has a tradition of help-
ing needy families at Christmas time and they collect and distribute
food and toys to these families. On behalf of the City Council, Mayor
Gilb presented commendation certificates to the Members of the Club who
were present.

Council member Harbicht inquired if this were a construction trailer or
were they doing business out of the trailer. Staff replied they were
doing business from the trailer. Councilmember Lojeski said he was
concerned that this permission was being requested after the fact.
Mayor Gilb declared the hearing open.
Dick Hale, 513 S. Myrtle, Monrovia, general contractor for the project
state~n part, that this was a matter of confusion between the parties
involved. Apparently the Planning Department and/or Planning Commission
had thought that this was a construction trailer; however, the plans did
show the trailer as in present use.
No one else desiring to be heard, the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Council member Lojeski, seconded by Councilmember Young and CARRIED.
It was then MOVED by Councilmember Harbicht, seconded by Councilmember

The City Council on December 15, 1987 adopted Resolution No. 5393
declaring the City's intention to vacate and abandon a portion of
North Third Avenue north of Huntington Drive and south of Santa Clara
Street. All the existing util ities located in the portion of North
Third Avenue to be vacated will in the near future be removed or
abandoned in place and therefore no easement reservations will be re-
quired. Furthermore, there is no forseeable need to reserve access
rights for public convenience and necessity over the public rights-of-
way to be abandoned.

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon, stated, in part, that he had seen a news-
paper article to the effect that some of the surrounding cities --
Monrovia, Temple City and others -- are attempting to obtain a more
equitable distribution of property taxes; however, Arcadia was not
one of these cities. The City Manager replied they were not sure to
what he was referring but that cities like Temple City did not have
property tax prior to Proposition 13 and did not benefit from property
taxes. There is legislation currently pending in Sacramento ... support-
ed by the League of California Cities -- and by the County -- which would
allow a small portion of property taxes to go to low property income
cities. Los Angeles County feels this is the best way to handle it.
However, staff will look into the matter. Mr. Fletcher suggested that
Arcadia might look to the future of property taxes. He had also read
that it was possible that in the future the tax deduction allowable
under Proposition 13 would stay with the property when and if that
property were sold to another individual rather than having the property
tax increase under a new owner as is the present case. Staff will also
look into th is.
Mr. Fletcher noted that this year is the first year Santa Anita race
track has off-track betting and wondered if the City still collected
half. Staff replied that cities that had the satellites will collect;
i.e., during the race meet at Del Mar, Arcadia will be a satellite and
therefore will pick up taxes for that.

Design review of proposed construction of a new 7,500 square foot
restaurant to seat 206 persons as part of the North side (Emkay) Develop-
ment Project. The plans for this development are a part of staff report
dated January 19, 1988. The restaurant operation would be cafeteria
style, serving soup, salad and baked goods. The building will be
approximately 20 feet in height.
\
Renderings of the proposed building were reviewed and Rick Smith,Emkay,
1500 Quail Avenue, Newport Beach responded to questio~ Member Lojeski
commented that the Planning Commission had seen this and had noted some
recommendations regarding the use of palm trees and also the paving.
Chairman Gilb inquired if there would be some attempt to maintain the
same color style throughout the whole development. Mr. Smith replied
that as master developers of the site, they were responsible for
continuity of style. He cannot say that all awnings will be the same
but only that there will be continuity throughout the development.
There will be a flow which will be aesthetically pleasinq to the City.
Member Lojeski complimented Mr. Smith and Emkay on exceeding the Code
requirements regarding landscaping. He also inquired if the Agency
were approving the signage at this time. Staff replied in the affirma-
tive. Member Lojeski inquired if at some point the developer will
come in for approval of overall signage. Staff replied that what is
shown here was recommended by Souplantation and that there will be
another sign on their property which will be a hotel sign. This will
come back for review and approval by the Agency to make sure it is
consistent with the overall architectural theme.

Member Young commented that the colors proposed for the development
on the south side of Huntington will also be green and beige and,
hopefully, they will compliment those on the north side of Huntington.

Design Review for construction of the Hampton Inn [four story, 132 room
hotel as part of the North side (Emkay) project] at 311 E, Huntington
Drive. The plans for this development are a part of staff report dated
January 19, 1988. This project incorporates all hotel rooms in one "L"
shaped building and lies within Parcel No.2 of the Emkay Parcel Map
and is situated between the proposed Residence Inn on Santa Clara Street
and the proposed Souplantation Restaurant on Huntington Drive. Renderings
were presented and reviewed by the Agency. Rick Smith, Emkay, 1500 Quail
Avenue, Newport 8each, was present to answer questions. He commented
that this design of Hampton Inn will be unique to Arcadia. Member
Harbicht commented that it was appreciated that Hampton Inn had designed
this especially for Arcadia,
It was then MOVED by Member Harbicht, seconded by Member Young and

Design Review for construction of Residence Inn, a 120 room (suite) hotel
and gatehouse in the North side (Emkay) Development site by Marriott, Inc.
The plans for this development are a part of the staff report dated
January 19, 1988" The rooms will be grouped in 15 individual two story
buildings with each containing 8 units (4,834 square feet per buildina).
The exterior effect is to create a covered walkway between buildings. A
rendering was reviewed by the Agency.
Member Lojeski questioned the item in the plans which calls for either
a wrought iron or picket fence. He did not feel a picket fence would
be appropriate in that area. This observation was the same as the other
Agency Members. Rick Smith, Emkay, 1500 Quail Avenue, Newport Beach,
replied that a wrought iron fence would be satisfactory since the Agency
did not want a picket fence. He preferred to stay away from masonary.
Mr. Smith said it was possible they would not need a fence since there
is a berm across Santa Clara Street which provides a good shield. But
they will agree to whatever the Agency prefers. Member Young questioned
whether there was a pool or spa in the plans. Mr. Smith replied that
was a small waterfall type pool which would not be more than 6 - 8 inches
deept.
It was then MOVED by Member Lojeski, seconded by Member Young and CARRIED
on roll call vote as follows that the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency APPROVE
the Residence Inn Design Review (321 E. Huntington) with the conditions
set forth in staff report dated January 19, 1988 including the condition
that either there should be no fence or that the fence should be of wrought
iron.

MATTERS FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS
Noted that at the last Planning Commission meeting, there were 17
public hearin9s on the agenda which were handled in about two hours.
They are a very efficient group.
Commented on a situation which had recently come to his attention in
that he had been visiting a person and found there was no place to park
on the street for a large area surrounding because of a large meeting
tpat was being held in one of the neighborhood homes. There were at
least 60 cars parked in the area. He was informed that this sort of
large meeting took place in the same house frequently. He felt this was
an inappropriate use of residences and wondered what could be done about
it. Staff replied that such matters were handled on a case by case basis.
Mayor Gi1b remarked that he had noted the same situation on Oak1awn Road.
Counci1member Young said San Marino has an ordinance controlling this
matter which was very restrictive. It was the consensus of Council that
The City Attorney come back to Council with a report and recommendation
on how to control large, frequent meetings being held in residences.
A1 so had some comments regarding the Sanitation District. He is the tity' s
representative and had recently been appointed to a sub-committee of the
Sanitation District Board which is looking into the possibility of provid-
ing some method of disposal of hazardous waste which is entering the
household waste stream. A report shows that the amount of hazardous
waste entering the landfills is probably infinitesimal. A recommendation
was made to charge 15~ per ton ,in the tipping fee to raise a million or

a million and a half to bring this problem under control. One disposal
station will be open to the public for about 15 days at different
locations throughout the County on different Saturdays. Counci1member
Harbicht feels that a million or a million and a half is a great deal
of money to raise for this problem and does not feel that it will be
cost effective. Many people do not even realize what hazardous waste
is -- such as motor oil or paint cans. Counci1member Young concurred
with this. Mayor Gi1b inquired how this would prevent people from
putting hazardous waste items into the household waste stream. Counci1-
'member Harbicht said actually there is no way to stop this. Counci1member
, Harbichtsaid his greatest concern was that they would not be able to
advertise enough to make people aware of this. He had presented his views
and wondered if other Councilmembers concurred with this. Other Counci1-
members agreed.
Mentioned that he would not be present at the next Council meeting. I
"As you probably know, our City Clerk, Christine Van Maanen, is retiring

all be aware of all the service she has given the City over the. 38 years
-- the paper sa i d 32, but I th i nk it is 38 -- anyway, we wi 11.' be work i ng
out something as we go along for getting you something to do after you
retire in the community and just so we go on record as knowing that the
City Council and all the City Councils that have served with you -- I have
talked with many of the Council people who have served with you over many
years and they are certainly for all that you have done for this community.
When it comes to the time that we bang the gavel and all walk out the
door, we will say more, but I certainly want to go on record that we
have recognized your service and that it is now official that you are
going to retire. But we wanted that in the record and the entire Council
give their best at this time and want you to know how much we appreciate
YOU,ll
