Arcadia Sister City Commissioner Jack Barnes
PRESENT: Councilmen Dring, Hannah, Pellegrino, Lojeski

Councilman Haltom was excused.
On MOTION by Councilman Dring, seconded by Councilman Pellegrino and
carried the minutes of the adjourned and regular meetings of November
1, 1983 were APPROVED.
It was MOVED by Councilman Pellegrino, seconded by Councilman Dring
and carried that the ordinances and resolutions be read by title only.
Mayor Lojeski welcomed Scott Webster, son of the President of the
Sister City Commission in Newcastle, Australia. Scott is visiting
in Arcadia now having just returned from a world culinary contest in
conjunction with the World Gourmet Fair in Osaka, Japan at which Scott
won a gold medal. The competition was based on composition, prepar-
ation, arrangement and originality. Scott was presented with the
Mayor's Certificate of Appreciation.
APPEAL from the decision of the Planning Commission for denial of a
proposed second story addition at 1679 A1ta Oaks Drive. The Commis-
sion reaffirmed the Hiqh1and Oaks Homeowners Association's action with
statutory findings that the request would not secure an appropriate
improvement, would not prevent an unreasonable hardship and would not
promote uniformity of development.
The applicant proposes to remodel the existing residence by adding a
second story of approximately 1,300 sq. ft., and 100 sq. ft. to the
first floor. The residence presently contains 2,870 sq. .ft., which
includes the garage area of 470 sq. ft. Based on staff's review of
the plans the applicant's proposal complies with all building setbacks,
height and lot coverage requirements as set forth in the zoning ordi-
nance of the Municipal Code. Council received and reviewed the appli-
cant's letter of appeal, the list of letters received in opposition and
in favor of the request - also staff's reoorts including the proposed
plans.
Mayor Lojeski declared the hearing open.
FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY (TRANSCRIPTION HAS BEEN PREPARED)
Tom Rinn, 61 E. Grandview, current Chairman of the Architectural Review
Board of the Highland Homeowners' Association, agreed with the action
of the Board of Directors - that the modification proposed is not in
harmony in proportion to the adjacent structures and others in the neigh-
borhood.

Tom Kemp, Vice President of ,the Association. 1747 Oakwnncj AVI'nlle,.
reatr,rmed the position of t~e ,association; that they do not object
to the design,... only that ~he plans indicated a home which would be
,.' completely out of context' with those clo.se .by 'and on either side....
.: that they. had made suggestiqns for modifications to the size. He
questioned whether or not those who had signed for the new addition
had actually seen the plans. Mr. Kemp stated further in part that
in their opinion the project appears to be overwhelming.. that there
are 400 residents out of about.600 living in the Highland Oaks area
who ,are members of the association and that to him is a strong rep-
...... resentation.
,,' 1
Charlene Hoffman, 2221 Highland Oaks. referring to'a.:letter from Ken
Luce, President of the Assocjation, said in part that she agreed with
. his observation that this could set a very' dangerous precedent. and
felt that if Council overrides the Commission's decision then every-
one could build whatever. they wished - as long as.it meets the City
Code. .
. 'In response to an inquiry the City Attorney said that each case must
be determined on its own facts and regardless of whether it met City
Codes or not it would still have to adhere to the speCific applicable
resolution. Also that in reviewing the subject proposal it doesn't
appear'. to violate any code requirement.,. :...
Mrs. Hoffman continued in part that as far as external appearance is
concerned -- the homes in the area are mostly rambl ing ranch style
.put the proposed English Tudor is out of uniformity for the area...
that they have asked Mr. Matta to alter the plan --- they are not op-
posed to the second story per se. She hoped the Council would support
the association. .
I
. .
., -
Lieueen Thomas, 1685 Alta Oaks, north of the subject home, said she
agrees with the Planning Commission and the Association in denying the
addition. She was concerned about invasion of her privacy.. there will
be a window which would look into her family room; also a window which
will look into their pool area. That the Matta roof line would be
above hers.. about 8 feet above... Her view of the mountains would be
impaired and she questioned if living next d09r to a very lar~e struc-
ture would enhance her property value.
'.
Joan Rugqles, 201 Carol wood Drive, said the only issue is the size of
the addition .and how the architecture of the proposed house would fit
into the neighborhood. She said they do not oppose the second story
but .are. endeavoring to maintain uniformity and property values.
Ray Brockus, 1309 Standish Street. did not speak in opposition or in
favor - commented that he wondered whether or not the City Council
has studied this matter sufficiently to override the Commission - per-
haps it should be continued for another two weeks. .
Gary Runyon, 1670 Alta Oaks, directly across. the street from the sub- I
ject address said he has no objection and he is going to look directly
at the house from his front window. The plan meets the Code and he
courd not understand why it has taken so long to. resolve.
Walter Kierstein, 1665 Alta Oaks, said in part that he has heard many
objections but none he would consider legal. He felt Mr. Matta has a
right to improve his property as he sees fit.. and he (Mr. Matta) has
.shown he is within those boundaries. As far as proportion is concerned
one. can drive up and down any street in the city and find a house which
would be considered out of proportion with its surrounding neighbors.
He referred to a Newsletter which the Association had circulated concer-
ing the Matta addition... he felt .this was .incorrect.. that Mr. Matta
should be permitted to build what he. desires _u that is his freedom of
c~i~. ..
IN FAVOR
Mar~ie Kierstein, 1665 Alta Oaks Drive, agreed with the statements made
by er husband. She also took exception to the flyer .. and wondered
just how much authority one has to tell a neighbor exactly what to do.

Richard Cook, 1671 Alta Oaks, immediately south of the Matta's.. said
in part that he has reviewed the plans.. at no time has he had objec-
tion to what they wanted to do as long as it was determined all re-
quirements of the code were complied with... that the style of the
structure is merely subjective and whether or not he agreed it is
actually none of his business. He also resented the flyer and its
contents.
Lucy Poon, 1688 Highland Oaks,-said in part that the addition should
be allowed if it doesn't constitute a change in zoning.. if it still
remains R-l and it fulfills the requirement of the family.. they
need more room.
Nimer Matta, 1679 Alta Oaks, the applicant, spoke at length - that
when they purchased the property the house met their needs - that
the daughters have grown and each needs her own roo~ - that with his
profession and his wife's extended career.. they must have more space.
After considering all options they found that a second story addition
is the best way to go. The plan conforms completely with the City
Code. Mr. Matta then projected photographs of the subject plan and
explained each code requirement as it relates to his structure. Slides
of other residences in the city were shown with various styles... all
two stories. Mr. Matta stated further in part that when it became
apparent that the project was becoming controversial he took a survey
of the neighbor's attitude and submitted a drawing indicating those in
support and those in opposition. He asked Council to grant his appeal.
Mrs. Matta spoke at length stating in part that she appreciates what
the Association is doing to keep the area beautiful and safe... but
they are not professional architects and their opinion could be wrong.
She cited another instance where a resident was granted permission to
have a second story, and said she is only asking for what is fair and
just. She felt to deprive them of the right to improve their home
would be a violation of their civil rights and would be unconstitutional.
She also resented the flyer distributed by the association... it went to
every house with their name on it.. that it did not indicate the pro-
posed addition compliance with the code.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Dring, seconded by Councilman Hannah and carried.
Councilman Pellegrino said in part that indeed the homeowners associ-
ation must be applauded for their endeavor to keep up the standards..
it seems to him that there is a lack of dialogue between the two par-
ties... that perhaps they could sit down in harmony and discuss the
problems... and be glad someone is going to do something for the bet-
terment of the community. This case is just the opposite from those
who neglect their property.. Mr. Matta is going to invest thousands
of dollars for his needs and for the good of the neighborhood... that
he did oppose the invasion of privacy by windows in certain locations
... and surely this could be worked out between the two parties. He
could see no problem with the project.
"
Councilman Hannah, liaison to the Planning Commission, has heard,the
matter before .. he has reviewed the some 65 pages of material which
is before Council.. he has looked at the property and the only thing
he can see in the entire argument against the project is its size and
he did not think size alone is a basis for denial.
Councilman Drinq said in part that any homeowner has a right to con-
struct their property as long as they are within the code ... the
fact that aesthetics is not agreed upon is what makes the world go
round... the applicants have not violated any code nor have they vi-
olated any of the provisions of the ordinance which establishes the
homeowner association's rights. He personally would like the associ-
ation in the future to bear in mind that if the codes are met then the
house conforms with the standards of the city. He would support the
applicants.

Review of the: Draft Environmental Impact Report for the proposed seven-
story medical office building to be located on a portion of the Santa
Anita Race Track. It will contain 84,000 sq. ft., of gross floor space
and be seven stories 85' in he1ght. The project would involve a Gen-
eral Plan change from horse racing to commercial, a zone change from
S-l and R-l to C-O & H and a tentative parcel map. An initial study
disclosed there might be some potential impacts; therefore, this EIR
has been prepared. The purpose of this hearing ;s to provide the
publ ic an-opportunity to comment on the potential environmental impacts
and/or mitigation measures which may be associated with the proposed
project. Followino this hearing the Final EIR will be prepared for
. Council's certification. \
Mayor LOjeski declared the hearing open and Bill Vollero, 500 W. Hunt-
ington Drive, Apt. No.4, stated in pa~t that he is concerned about the
disposal of waste from the proposed Medical Building and the traffic
pattern -- especially for emergency vehicles going to and from the hos-
pital -- although he noted that the Hospital is in favor of the proposed
~edical building. In response to his questi~n he was advised that the
firm of Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Inc., had prep~red the traffic impact
study. It was also stated by staff that Mr. Vollero's questions relatiog
to zoning and revenue could best be answered at the time Council consi-
ders the General Plan and Zone change. '
Fra:cis Burgweger, (attorney with O'Melve~y & Myers, 400 S. Hope Street,
Los Angeles, representing the Los Angeles Turf Club, responded to
Councilman Dring's question concerning the statement in the EIR that a
minimum of 80%' of the parking will be turned over to the track on Satur-
days, Sundays and holidays; that it was the conclusion based on a broaq
study.that a minimum 'of 80j; would be adequate; .that it will have to ac-
tually be determined after it is known the hours the medical building
is .used on weekends.
.1
In response to Councilman Dring's inquiry about the visual impact on the
hospital patients Tony O'Keefe, 1550 W. Colorado, Pasadena, representingl
the architects for the proposed building, Neptune and Thomas Associates,
said in part that as architects for the hospital they are quite famil- 0
iar with the layout.. the patient's rooms face .southwest and northeast
.. at an angle. to Huntinoton Drive.. the stair tower at the westerly end
of the nursinp wino is the portion of the patient facility which would
,look out onto the subject site.. The new wing has windows which look out
at tree level. He felt he could better. demonstrate by drawings that the
. impact on. the existing facility would be minimal.

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
David Roos, 505 N. Old Ranch Road, referred to his water bill of
$106 for 277 units of water for the months of August and September.
Mr. Roos said in no way could he have used that amount of water.
The Water Manager said in part that the meter had been thoroughly
checked and he could not explain why the number of units. A com-
parison of the charges for the various months was reviewed and
Council agreed the bill appeared excessive considering one unit
is 750 ~a 11 ons.
Councilman Hannah MOVED to reduce the charge by $60 and that staff
watch this particular property very closely for the next 3 or 4 months
to ascertain if there is an inordinately high usage of water in which
case staff will so advise Council.

Consideration of the requested extension of the Resolution of Inducement
for tax-exempt financing for the proposed Ramada Inn Project. Resolu-
tion No. 5145 was prepared which would authorize the issuance of bonds
.for financing the construction of the hotel, parking and related facil-
ities for the TOWA Corporation.
Councilman Hannah inquired as to why the resolution should be adopted
when it isn't known as to whether or not they are actually going to
build. He is as anxious as anyone to see a development on the subject
property - but to date it isn't certain if there is a project, that
they have the tenants or are able to obtain the financing.
Staff responded in part stating that negotiations are underway between
the owners and TOWA feels the problems between them can be resolved..
that is the reason for the request to extend the Resolution of Induce-
ment.
In response to an inquiry by Mayor Lojeski as to how the adoption of
this resolution would improve the ne~otiating ability of TOWA in t~eir
negotiations with the owner.. be it on a lease arrangement or a buying
agreement, Larry Previl, attorney with O'Melveny & Myers, representing
TOWA said in part that the two are not related - this is the only en-
titlement that is expiring.. the others are still valid - he expressed
confidence that they can reach an agreement and can move forward. With
such an important piece of property it is vital that it be done correctly.
Mr. Previl continued in part that by adopting the subject resolution it
would not obligate the City to issue the bonds .. it does not create any
liability on the City. It was noted that the Resolution of Inducement
had expired - two months ago.
Councilman Dring submitted in part that he originally supported the
project because he felt it was a step forward, however, he was not
satisfied with the financial statement from TOWA anymore than the cur-
rent owners of the property. He could find no justification for extend-
ing the resolution.
Councilman Pellegrino stated in part that this proposed development is
of such magnitude that those involved have surely done their homework -
ang have expended a lot of money already.. he could not see where an
extension would hurt the City at any time... that there will still be
an opportunity to approve or disapprove the project. He then MOVED to

Council received and reviewed the residential refuse agreement with
Best Disposal Company. It is similar to the existing agreement and
addresses the concerns of the Council .as expressed at its September 20 I
meeting. This agreement would become effective March 1, 1984, termin-
ating March 1, 1989. Major points in the agreement were listed in
staff's report dated November 10.
Councilman Dring said in part that he could not support the agreement
because Best was not the second lowest.. it was number three in the
bidding.. and it would cost the people more than it should.

MATTERS FROM STAFF
Staff advised that per Council's directive a communication had been
sent to Falcon Cable TV concerning providing service within the City.
A meeting ,is to be held on the morrow (November 16) with the company,
the Mayor and staff. Also a letter has been received from Group W
stating that they can meet the time table set relative to the adoption
of the Draft Franchise and that staff has met with the new manager of
Group W.
Councilman Dring stated in part that in his opinion there is just no
way of granting Group W a 15 year franchise based on its c~rrent per-
formance. The City Manager advised that staff has never piven such
an impression to Group W - it was noted that the present franchise
goes to 1988 and pursuant to its content Group W could apply for an
extension at that time.

Staff advised that just this afternoon a communication was received
from Fashion Park seeking permission to reposition the benches in
some areas of the Mall and to install tempora.ry tables along with the
benches from November 25 to January 3, 1984... the Holiday Season.
The benches and tables would be placed outside existing eating estab-
lishments.. this would be a temporary arrangement. However, they are
working out plans for permanent seating along these lines. At that
time they will apply for a conditional use permit.
It was MOVED by Councilman Hannah, seconded by Counciiman Pellegrino
carried on roll call vote as follows that permission be granted on a
temporary basis subject to full compliance with various city require-
ments and staff approval; also that Fashion Park sign a short agree-
ment for the temporary use until a final CUP is issued so they do not
accrue vested rights in protecting the City's liability.
