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. -1- 11-15-83 25:0835 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. -2,.. 11- 15-83 I I :r~ ': u..... :-.. .:"'" ' . ~'S:I ": ;: . , 25: 0836 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. -3- 11-15-83 MOTION to approve the appeal PUBLIC HEARING EIR MEDICAL OFFICE BLDG .j . -\') ~\ / I' -., ,. 25:0837 .. "Councilman Dring then MOVED that Council f.ind the request would secure . an aporopriate improvement, prevent, an unreasonable hardship .or oro" . mote uniformity of development and that, the appeal be and it is hereby approved. Motion seconded by Counc i lman Pe 11 egri no.. . rlayor LOjeski said in part thathe lived on tpe subject street many years and he understood the elevations.of the various lots on the north side of the street... the elevations are much higher than those on the other side... and that he has seen the compliance with property maintenance that has gone on .in relations'hip to what it was like. As long as there are no violations. of the code he would support the motion. Roll call vote was then taken,on the motion to approve. I AYES: NOES: .ABSENT: Councilmen Dring, Hannah, Pellegrino, Lojeski None Councilman Haltom I ! ; 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.

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.

It was MOVED by Councilman Dring, seconded by Councilman Pellegrino and carried on roll call vote as follows that the contract be awarded to .Wakeham Construction, Inc., in the amount of $53,450; that all other bids be rejected; that any irregularities or informalities in the bids or bidding process be waived and that the Mayor and City Clerk be AUTHORIZED to execute the contract. It was further MOVED that $67,610 be appropriated from the Parklands Act of 1980 to cover the cost of construction including design, inspection and contingencies. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Dring, Hannah, Pellegrino, Lojeski None Councilman Haltom 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.

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. -9- _ .1]: 1.5-83 FASHION PARK Temporary tab 1 es & benChes APPROVED 13.

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.
