During the consideration it was stated in part by Councilman Haltom that
he had argued on two similar occasions for eating establfshments - that
24 chairs is not overly optimistic in his opinton for such an establish-
ment - that since it is a conditional use permit Council has a right tQ
change it if problems arise.
Parking was explored and staff noted that there is additional parking in
the balance of the shopping center where this facility is located. As
far as the seating is concerned it would have to comply with the existing
regulations of the Fire Department.. this would depend on the development
of the restaurant -- the location of the counters -- how much space re-
mains for aisle and seating - the type of chairs etc.
It was MOVED by Councilman Haltom, seconded by Councilman Pellegrino and
carried on roll call vote as follows that Council approve and file the
Neqative Declaration and find that the project will not have a sionifican
effect on the environment and that staff be directed to prepare the appro-
priate resolution granting the appeal for permission to have 24 chairs (
providina it meets with the provisions of the Fire Code.

Councilman Dring
On August 16 an appeal was filed by several residents in the subject area
in opposition to the Planning Commission's decision concerning a request
by the owner of 284 Arbolada Drive to modify the required 10' - 0" westerly
side yard setback and the 6' - 0" high block wall along the westerly prop-
erty line for a proposed tennis court at said location. The Commission had
approved the request on a 4 to 2 vote subject to conditions spelled out in
the staff report dated September 6. Each Councilman received a series of
letters relating to this item. In response to a question by Councilman
Pellegrino staff advised that a permit had not been taken out prior to the
start of the tennis court construction.
FOllOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE PROCEEDINGS (Transcript\has been prepared)
Mayor lojeski declared the hearing open and Ted Fogliani, an attorney re-
tained by two of the appellants, Barbara and William lewis, 300 Arbolada
Drive, stated in part that Arcadia City Ordinance No. 1734 provides setbacks
which are not being adhered to in the subject project. He felt there was a
lack of communication. The first Mr. Lewis knew of the proposed tennis
court was the beginning of excavation..during which time large shrubs were
removed. These had acted as a shield between the two properties. A permit
had not been taken out at that time, however, the City stopped construction.
Subsequently a permit was taken out.
Mr. Fog1iani 'continued--in part there is concern that the excavation maYI
have undermined the existing walls on Mr. lewis' property and noted the
setbacks which were approved by the Commission and the lighting which he
felt would be located at a distance of 6'2" from Mr. lewis' rear yard.
circulated a rendering of how the light fixtures would look from the lew
rear yard. He felt the provisions under which the Commission granted Dr.
Dale to locate his tennis court would be in violation of the zoning code.
Kermit Ferguson, 1131 De Anza Place, said in part that the high standards
in the City should be maintained. As a former member of the Planning
Commission he knows how much time and deliberation is involved in the deci-'
sion making process..he felt that to reduce the 10' side yard setback would
be quite drastic and would establish precedent for future such projects...
the closer the tennis court to a neighbor the closer the lights a1so...and
the possibility of undermining the existing wall due to the excavation. He
asked Council to keeo those pOints in mind.
Noel Watson, 240 Arbo1ada Drive, spoke to the time he constructed his
tennis court and what he had to do to get a permit - he had to obtain
permission from neighbors that they would not object. He felt this hasn't
-2- .

been done in this instance...he noted that in the final analysis he had
to move his court a few feet so that he now has about four feet around
his court that is unmaintainable.
Peggy Allison, realtor at 34 E. Foothill B1., said in part that she al-
ways has calls for residences with tennis courts in the subject area;
that the area in question has a history of maintaining its value and
desirability. However, she felt that due to the noise and the lights the
farther back tennis courts are placed the better.
Tom O'Toole, 285 W. Foothill Bl., abutting the southern perimeter of Dr.
Dale's property, spoke to the modification process which he felt was de-
signed to permit small deviations from ordinances in order to facilitate
property improvements. He felt any relaxation of the 10' setback provi-
sion invites abuse... and would open the door for others to devise under-
sirable situations... to allow this would set a dangerous precedent.
Jean Lee, 1745 Rodeo Road, said in part that rules and regulations should
be adhered to except in extreme hardShip cases. If the rules are not
correct then they should be changed. Disregard for established rules or
preferential treatment would be a bad precedent for the young oeople in
the city.
Martin 01sky, 300 Chelsea Avenue, said the rules and regulations should
be followed... that it would be unfair and discriminatory to have some
courts built to code and for virtually little reason allow another not to
be the same... he was concerned that any variance from the code might affect
him at a later date... his privacy... that there is room to move the court
back without invading any privacy or creating any problems.
Karl Linnes, 301 Arbo1ada Drive, said he would like to see the,tennis court
installed because of the beneficial values to Dr. Dale's property and to
the neighbor's property, however, he was appalled when the Planning Com-
mission did not follow the recommendation of the Modification Committee and
asked Council to affirm the Committee's recommendation.
Julie Condon, 37 Hacienda Drive, said she felt the zoning ordinances are
established for the protection of the entire neighborhood and that this
.wi11 adversely affect the quality of the Lewis' lifestyle. The court
should be built to Code.
William Lewis, 300 Arbo1ada Drive, directly west of the Dale property, said
in part that he is concerned with the direct impact on his home, family and
life... also how it would affect the city and property values... also the
invasion of his privacy by having neighbors too close to the property line.
He felt a better compromise would be to move the court 15 feet to the south
and 5 feet from the property line.
Mr. Fogl iani, reiterated what has been ,stated by Mr. Lewis and said further,
in part, that those opposing the location of the court are concerned for
the enforcement of the Zoning rules and regulations... that the 5 foot set-
back would be acceptable provided the court is placed back toward the rear
property 1 i ne.
SPEAKING IN OPPOSITION TO THE APPEAL
".
Dr. William C. Dale, 284 Arbo1ada Drive, said in part that the remarks of
Attorney Fogliani should be stricken from the record as they were based
on hearsay and not on fact.... that when his property was surveyed the
Lewis' wall was approximately 2 to 2 1/2 inches from the property line.
Most of the tennis courts in the city are on the property line.. although
there are rules and regulations there are none that are inf1exib1e..there
are exceptions to all rules and in his particular instance there is an
easement on the west side of the property as indicated on the photographs.
He submitted further in part that the Planning Commission heard both sides
and based upon what they heard voted to allow him to oroceed with the con-
struction
Dr. Dale presented the City Clerk with a letter in support of the decision
-3-
9-6-83
25:0792
and signed by eleven residents of the subject area., He also submitted a
survey of his property for Council to review. In response to a question
Dr. Dale said according to his engineers and excavators that at no time
was the footing of the Lewis' wall exposed 'or weakened in any way. He
also responded to further questions propounded by members of the Council
stating in part that when he purchased the property it had a paddle tennis
court which was about 40' x 60'..whereas a regulation tennis court is
60' by 120'.
Michael Blum, 235 Hillgreen Place, electrical engineer involved with the
subject project, submitted in part that as far as the quality of life is
concerned - Dr. Dale's life is altered every time the Lewis' court is used..
as Dr. Dale's bedroom overlooks the Lewis' court. He noted that commentSI
made relating to the excavation starting before a permit was obtained -
that is the responsibility of the contractor and not the property owner.
In response to a question Mr. Blum said further in part that the light
spillage problem could be taken care of with shields... that is something
which must be measured after the installation is complete.
Irving Finer, Miraloma, Ca., with the company installing the court spoke
to the lighting which will be the Parkette Ecology Light type and read
excerpts from various jobs through the state expounding the performance.
Steven Schultz, responsible for the drawings, said in part that he wouldn't
predict that the noise from the court would be a problem due to the muf-
fling factor of the fence and wind screen..in addition to the block wall
which has natural noise suppression characteristics. If the court were
shifted to the south the two existing avocado trees would have to be re-
moved which would not be to Mr. O'Toole's advantage.
Gino Roncelli, 1250 Ramona Road, felt by viewing the property one would
have to agree that having a tennis court close to the property line would
not hurt any one..there is a 17 foot wall measured from the bottom of the
court to the top of the wall... which is a noise barrier height that hard-
ly anyone would have.
Fritz Kretzschman, 435 Fairview, said in part that he has visited the Dale
home many times and has been in the backyard when the Lewis's court has
been occupied and one would have to listen hard to hear any noise with the'
exception of the ball being hit.. tennis is a game on which one must con-
centrate more. He felt in all fairness Council should abide by the deci-
sion of the Planning Commission.
George Fasching, 1451 Oaklawn Road, felt,this is a situation between
neighbor and neighbor... he has also visited the Dale home and has never
seen such a large wall between two properties. He could not understand
the Lewis' objecting whether the court is built up against the wall or 5'
away.. that with the lowering of the elevation for the tennis court and
the placement - also the shielding of the lights - he could not see how
it could cause hardship.
Sharon Culverwell, 1032 Hampton Road, said she visited both residences I
and felt that back to back tennis courts really enhances life.. for
tournaments and the like. As far as lights are concerned the Lewis'
lights are 6 feet above their fencing and the court, the lights are vis-
able from all of Dr. Dale's bedrooms. She said in part that she learned
from City staff that approximately 90% of the courts in the city are sit-
ting exactly on the property line... which is a viable, sensible, logical
use of property. She asked Council to uphold the Planning Commission's
decision.
,Dr. Leonard Churchman, 320 W. Orange Grove Avenue, said in part that if
Council wants to establish good property values with nice homes and
yards ... this can be done in this instance by placing the tennis court
up against the other, and taking into account the 2 1/2 feet easement
there would,be created virtually a minimun of dead space.. at the same
time enhancing the other side of the tennis court facing the guest house
to establish a nice yard.

Dr. Robert Sheppard. 1141 N. Santa Anita, hoped that common sense pre-
vails " that he could in no way see where placing the tennis court
where Dr. Dale desires would interfere with anyone's lifestyle.
Karen Gertmenian, 91 E. Oranqe Grove Avenue, felt that if the Dale's
and the Lewis's really objected to lights and noise they would not have
tennis courts- that they should visit each other and play tennis to-
gether.
No one else desirin9 to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Hannah, seconded by Councilman Pellegrino and carried.
Pellegrino
Councilman/stated ln part that he would like to remind both the Dale's
and Lewis' that most lots in cities are about 60' x 120'.. the size of
their tennis courts...He felt it admirable that they would spend money
to upgrade the area.. he could not see where approving the modificatins
would create any hardship - there are time limits and restrictions on
playing hours... it appears to him that it is simply a lack of dialogue
between the two property owners.
Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Pellegrino, seconded by Councilman
Haltom and carried on roll call vote as follows that the Council deny
the appeal and affirm the Planning Commission's decision and find that
the request would secure an appropriate improvement and prevent an un-
reasonable hardship - that Modification 83-60 be APPROVED subject to all
conditions set forth in the Planning Commission's recommendation dated
August 9, 1983.
Councilman Haltom said in part that if the wall did not exist - if it
,~ere property to property with just a normal fence inbetween he would
aqree with the appeal, however, to extend the distance to something like
2' or 5' would not be advantageous to anyone.
Councilman Hannah commented in part that there are ordinances on the books
and thus far he could see no extenuatinq circumstances for voting against
the appeal... that if the modifications are approved then Council will
have this come up again and again... that perhaps it should be discussed
.at some future time. His only reason for votinq in favor of the appeal is
that there are ordinances on the books.. that if this is a neighbor versus
neighbor matter he could not see where that would be reason enough to dis-
regard rules and requlations.
In response to a question about liability the City Attorney, said the wall
would have to meet the appropriate inspection and building requirements..
if that is done... then through that decision making orocess the City
would have no liability.
Mayor Lojesk~ felt that the wall height between the properties and Dr.
Dale's lowering of his court are factors to consider...No matter how the
Council acts someone will not be happy with the decision. He also felt
that there was an absense of dialogue between the affected parties. He
would favor the Planning Commission's decision. Roll call vote was then
ta ken.

Kiosk at the northwest corner of Santa Anita and Santa Clara. Concern for
the safety was expressed again by Council - primarily vehicles going in a
southerly direction on Santa Anita, making a right- hand turn and possibly
colliding with cars making a left hand turn on Santa Clara to go into the
parking area...they would be crossing traffic. During this consideration
Mr. D. Bracken of the Bank's Corporate Real Estate Division submitted the
Bank's position. .and referred to the various Plans which the Agency re-
viewed in depth.
It was noted tnat one would gain 50% more visibility by moving the drive-

Originally this project was to have been completed by August 13, 1983.
Due to delays caused by heavy rains this past winter Hometels are now re-
questing an extension to February 15, 19&4 It was noted that Hometels
indicate it wishes to payoff all indebtedness. It has this right under
the Deed/Trust Note dated August 9, 1982. In order to obtain a construc-
tion loan - the proceeds of which will be used to pay its indebtedness to
the Agency - certain documents must be approved. These are: Benefici-
ary's Demand, Request for full reconveyance, Consent and Estoppel certi-

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
James R. Helms, Jr., former Mayor and City Councilman, stated in part
that he represented a number of influential and concerned citizens of
the community about the procedure for electing councilmen to this City
Council. He read in full a letter from former Mayor Conrad T~ Reibold
(on file in the office of the City Clerk) recommending that the Cioty
Charter be amended to require that a successful candidate receive no less
than 50% plus one of the votes cast..when that is not the case that a run-
off election be held between the top two vote getters for each vacant of-
fice. Copies of this communication were presented to City Councilmen.
Similar letters were received and presented by Mr. Helms from former
Mayors Robert Ma~gett, Charles Gilb, Alton Scott, Jack Saelid and from
Mr. Helms.
Mr. Helm spoke at length - in part- now that the Governor has called a
Statewide Special Election for December 13, 1983, this matter could be
consolidated with that election. He did not ask Council to take a posi-
tion in favor or in opposition to the amendment - but that it adopt a
Resolution to cQ.osolidate with the Statewide Election and let the voters
decide.
Following discussion on the pros and cons of this charter amendment.,.it
was the consensus of Council that the question be placed before the
electorate at the Statewide Election of December 13, 1983 and that the
City Attorney and City Clerk prepare the necessary documents - and that
Council adjourn this meeting to September 13, 1983 at 5:30 p.m. It was
