On MOTION by Member Lojeski, seconded by Member Gilb and CARRIED the minutes of the regular meeting of May 15, 1984 were APPROVED. It was noted by staff that, upon review of the American Savings and Loan proposal to relocate to 30 S. First Avenue, it was discovered that an error had taken place in the Redevelop- ment Plan Land Use Map. The current plan designation for the East and West sides of First between Alta and the alley South of Huntington is RHD (Residential High Density). The existing and proposed commercial uses are therefore in conflict with the redevelopment plan. The California Redevelopment Law requires that every redevelopment plan conform to the City's General Plan which is commercial for this particular site. Correcting the Map to read Commercial General will bring the land use plan into conformance with the General Plan and reflect the existing and proposed land uses. It was MOVED by Member Gilb, seconded by Member Lojeski and CARRIED that the correction be made by resolution. I Whereupon Member Gilb presented, read the title of ARA RESOLUTION NO. 76, "A RESOLUTION OF THE ARCADIA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY CORRECT- 1NG THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN LAND USE MAP FOR CERTAIN PARCELS EAST AND WEST OF FIRST AVENUE, SOUTH OF HUNTINGTON DRIVE AND NORTH OF ALTA, FROM RESIDENTIAL HIGH DENSITY (RHD) TO COMMERCiAL GENERAL (CG)", and MOVED that same be ADOPTED.

Lemon Avenue, spoke to sewers which the property owners had to pay for by levy in the beginning, that now he is having prob1ems from a tree the City p1anted practically over his sewer line. He is havin9 sewer troubles and the tree will probably have to be removed for which he must pay because property owners are responsib1e for the cost of this out to the middle of the street .., he understood that, but he felt that it should be the same for everyone .., and cited an examp1e on Huntington Drive between Second and Fifth where the sewers are considered to be deficient ... that if the sewers there have to be replaced, tax monies will be used, He felt the property owners there should have to pay just the same .., he does not want to have to pay to replace sewers in some place in the City because of deficiencies for which he is not responsible. Jim Bryant,Arcadia School Board Member, 1405 S. Fith Avenue, expressed appreciation to Council for its support of education during the past year and hoped it would continue ... and stressed the importance of the young people and what they can do for the City in the future.
