AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmembers Chandler, Lojeski and Harbicht None Councilmembers Gilb and Young AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Phil Lopes, Manager, West Arcadia Business and Professional Association, Temple City resident, stated, in part, that he was present this evening to request the deletion of Condition 6 of the previous Council approval of WABAPA-HUB shopping area carnival. He distributed to the Council copies of a letter addressed to the City Manager which was received too late to be part of the agenda for this, meeting. One of the Council action points (Condition 6) stipulated that there be no dismantling in the evening hours after the close of the carnival Sunday evening. He was unaware that this is normal procedure for a carnival. He has contacted other organizations in the area who have had carnival attractions and who are near residential areas, including Holy Angels Church and this appears t<:> be, standard procedure. His request is to allow the carnival to dismantle after closing hours Sunday evening which will take them to early Monday ,.morning 'between 2:00 - 3:00 a. m. Mayor Harbicht inquired as to the exact location of the carnival. Mr. Lopes replied directly across from the OSCO Drug Building near the Ross Building at the east end of the parking lot and will be 125 - 150 feet away from the nearest residential compound. Councilmember Lojeski inquired if the same language was incorporated, into the Holy Angels agreement. Staff replied they did 9/6/88 -3- 4. 5. 5a. ROLL CALL 5b. / MINUTE APPROVAL (Aug. 16, 1988) (APPROVED) 30:0213 not believe so; this is different in that it is a business promotion therefore it goes through a different process. Councilmember Lojeski said that the lateness of the request in relation to the time of the event does bother him. He feels the dismantling will create a lot of noise at a very late hour. Mr. Lopes replied that it is estimated that the carnival will be off the premises by 12:00 or 1:00 a. m. Mayor Harbicht said that whether it was charitable or business related does not make much difference; the dismantling noise would be the same, and has apparently not been a 'problem previously. This is a major promotion for the business interests in Arcadia. The dismantling is probably a minor thing. He is inclined to grant the request. Councilmember Chandler. said some of the problems mentioned by Councilmember Lojeski also bothere him, but overall it seems it will not be that harmful. It was then MOVED by Councilmember Chandler, seconded by Councilmember Lojeski and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows to amend the previous approval of this Council relative to the one point of take-down hours to allow them to take down at a later time and, if there is a consensus of Council, ask the City Attorney to make the appropriate announcement to make this legal under the provisions of the Brown Act since this is an emergency action for the carnival people but is not on the agenda. The City Attorney announced that, preliminary to the vote on the motion, in order to meet the concerns Councilmember Chandler mention, and since this item is not on the agenda, it cannot be acted upon under the Brown Act unless Council, with at least a two-thirds vote, votes that the need to take action arose after the posting of ' the agenda. Approval requires a two-thirds vote. It was MOVED by Councilmember Lojeski, seconded by Councilmember Chandler and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that the need to take action on this item arose after the p~sting of the agenda for this meeting.

' AYES: Councilmembers Chandler, Lojeski and Harbicht NOES: None ABSENT: Councilmembers Gilb and Young MATTERS FROM STAFF None MATTERS FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS I Expressed concern about the property maintenance at the Weiner property at Santa Anita and Huntington Drive, which was formerly Tiny's Restaurant, now vacant. The landscaping is in a deplorable state. The City has recently renovated the adjacent Parking District lot and it was a fine job. However, the big chuckholes are actually in the back lot portion of the Weiner prop- erty .,. the citizens probably think that is also Parking District property and wonder why the City did not repair that area. Staff had been requested to check into this situation. It was noted that Property Maintenance staff was checking into the matter. He further inquired if a new restaurant is planned for this location. Staff replied it had been their information that within a week of the closing, plans would be turned in for a new restaurant; however, to date this has not happened. Councilmember Lojeski also noted that at one time there had been a temporary structure located on the SE corner of Wheeler and Santa Anita; this being a portion of the Weiner property. When that structure was removed, there had been some discussion in Council of the City obtaining that corner portion. If a structure were placed on that corner, it would create parking congestion in an already extremely busy lot. He wondered if it had ever been pursued. Staff replied that it had been the majority consensus of Council not to proceed with investigating the purchase of that property because it would remain parking anyway under private ownership, so why spend money if it will be parking in any event. Councilmember Lojeski replied Mr. Weiner could spinoff that one parcel, since he has adequate parking area. It is possible that a two or three story building could be constructed there .,. the temporary building formerly in that space had had adequate parking I area .,. so conceivably another building could go in there. Mayor Harbich . suggested the Economic Development Director take a look at the matter and put together a rough estimate of cost. Noted that he was very pleased with the rehabilitation of the animal hospital on Santa Anita Avenue. He felt they had done an outstanding job ... the design of the building, the plants, the signage are all very well done. Hopes the Arcadia Beautiful Commission will keep it in mind when they consider their awards next year. They took a completely dilapidated building and replaced it with a beautiful, multi-storied structure ... they even managed to stay in operation during the con- struction period. He is pleased that the building has a large setback and greenspace which certainly make a lot of difference. .,J Agreed. 9/6/88 -8- 30:0218 LOJESKI Congratulated the Director of Public Works on finally seeing through the project of removing the poles from the alleyways south of Huntington Drive. It makes a great difference when driving down the alleyway. 12.
