On MOTION by Council Member Gilb, seconded by Council Member Parry
and carried unanimously the minutes of the regular meeting of
February 21 and the Adjourned Regular Meetings of February 17, 21
and 28, 1978 were APPROVED.
Prior to consideration of the scheduled agenda items Mayor Saelid
advised of the action the City Council took concerning traffic safety
in the Santa Anita Oaks area; that in response to a reque~t from the
Santa Anita Homeowners Association four-way boulevard stop signs
will be installed at the intersections of Rodeo/Hacienda and
Arbolada/San Carlos on a six month's trial period; that the petition
concerning the possible closing of San Carlos Road will be discussed
at a study session. The other items contained in the communication
will be referred to staff to discuss with the,llomeowners Association.
Appeal from the decision of the Planning Commission in connection with
conditions imposed in the granting of a Conditional Use Permit relating
to a restaurant at 14 E. Huntington Drive. The City Council had
considered this matter on February 21 in public hearing proceedings
and continued to this date. During the interim staff was to endeavor
to locate other locations which might be suitable for the restaurant
with sufficient parking spaces. The present site is deficient in
that area. Staff advised that they had shown other locations to the
applicant, Thomas Turiace, but that he preferred to proceed with his
appeal relating to his own property.
Discussion ensued concerning the parking deficiency and the possible
use of the Parking District north of Huntington Drive. Mr. Turiace
said that inasmuch as they are starting a new business his present
location would be the best and he would like to pursue this.
Arthur Palfrey, 15 Alta Street, reiterated his statements of
February 21 - in part that the existing parking situation is a matter
of great concern to him and felt the appeal should be turned down if
the parking could not come up to Code.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Member Lauber, seconded by Member Parry and carried unanimously.
Member Lauber stated in part that the design of the proposed facility
is most attractive and she would hope Mr. Turiace will construct his
restaurant within the City. She felt the restaurant is really too
large in scope for his property. She noted the communications and
testimony in opposition due to the crowded conditions and the fact
that there is parking in the alley. She felt it would be a disservice,
not only to the residents of Alta Street, but to the other small

businesses adjacent thereto. She said it is with regret that she
would have to support the Planning Commission and deny the appeal,
but she hoped Mr. Turiace would be able to locate elsewhere in the
City.
Member Gilb felt it is a very difficult situation, but from the
viewpoint of the City Council he would have to find something very
unusual to overrule the recommendation of the Commission. He too
felt the restaurant would be an asset to the City and he would like
staff to continue to work with Mr. Turiace to this end, but in view
of the parking deficiency he could not grant the appeal. He would
support the recommendation of the Commission.
Member Parry agreed and stated in part that to approve this would
only be compounding the already congested traffic problem; that
actually in his opinion the location is not right for a restaurant
in view of the lack of parking spaces. lie would sustain the Planning
Commission in its recommendation.
I
Member Margett was in accord and submitted that the rendering was
excellent and that there is a need for this type of facility in the
City. He felt the endeavor on the part of staff to find another
location is indicative of the City Council's desire to keep this
particular business in the community. However, the inability to
provide the required 21 parking spaces is paramount to him and he
would support a motion to sustain the Commission.
Mayor Saelid agreed and would support the Commission based on what
has already been set forth.
It was MOVED by Member Parry, seconded by Member Margett and carried
unanimously that the recommendation of the Planning Commission in
its Resolution 1031 be SUSTAINED and that the appeal be and it is
hereby DENIED.
Time and place to hear objections to the proposed removal of weeds,
refuse and other flammable material growing upon or in front of
properties as listed by the Los Angeles County Agricultural
Commissioner. The Fire Chief explained certain areas of concern
and Mayor Saelid then declared the hearing open. No one desiring
to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Member Gilb, seconded
by Member Lauber and carried unanimously. It'was then MOVED by
Member Gilb, seconded by Member Margett and carried on roll call vote
as follows that the County Agricultural Commissioner be and he is
hereby directed to abate the nuisance by having the weeds, rubbish
and refuse removed.

Planning Commission Resolution No. 1034 recommending denial of a
variance for two substandard lots at 220 - 224 S. Santa Anita Avenue
and consideration of Lot Split application (L-78-2). The Planning
Director explain~d that the Commission felt by creating two sub-
standard lots it could place a hardship on the future development of
the area and it was not able to make all of the findings necessary
to grant a zone variance based on the proposal before it. Sub-
sequently the City Council felt consideration should be given to the
future impact of closing a portion of California Street adjacent to
the applicant's property (Dr. Herbert Herscher) which could enlarge
the site. The City Council reviewed projecturals of the site
reflecting dimensions. Some discussion held on the possibility of
closing California Street and extending the playground of the First
Avenue School. In this event more footage would be added to the
Doctor's office providing for parking spaces for the apartments to
the north. As it stands now there is a parking deficiency.

Mayor Saelid declared the hearing open and Dave Paradis speaking on
behalf of a group who have entered into an agreement with Dr. Herscher
to purchase the apartment building, noted that permits had been issued
for the buildings but a lot split was not applied for in the beginning
(1956). During the years the zoning laws have become more restrictive
so that now it is extremely difficult to split lots. He noted that
the structures have been maintained and are in fine condition. He
referred to the parking and said there are 15 parking spaces for a
14 unit building; that practically all the units are one-person
occupied. He said it is hoped the units may be available for senior
citizens and the rents would be kept where they are now.
Mr. Paradis continued in part that they have been in escrow for some
time now and that Dr. Herscher has been endeavoring to sell the
property for some time.. but it is almost impossible to sell it as
a unit... two separate buildings with separate financial structures,
etc. Some mention was made of the possibility of a County Clubhouse
being constructed at the golf course property and the Doctor's
property might be acquired for additional parking for that facility.
However, this would be in the future. In response to an inquiry he
said acquiring the entire parcel has been discussed with Dr. Herscher
but it was felt this would lead to many complications - what with his
heirs and the attendant legalities, He asked the City Council to
favorably consider granting the lot split and submitted that every
assurance could be made that the units would be maintained which might
not be the case if they could not be sold as a separate package from
the Doctor's office.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Member Lauber, seconded by Member Gilb and carried unanimously.
Member Margett stated in part that in his opinion the most intelligent
approach would be to ente~ into some type of joint effort between the
City and the Board of Educ~tion to acquire the property for expanded
recreational facilities and an adjustment of property lines would
provide for both the field and parking spaces. He was concerned with
the non-conforming use. He could not support a lot split at this
point.
In response to some questions the Planning Director explained that as
long as the use continued to be for professional offices without an
interlude of more than 90 days there would be no problem. Dr. Herscher
could lease it out to some other professional office use...or the
structure could be converted and brought up to Code to conform to a
multiple family building thus making it into a residential duplex
probably.. or the structure could be removed and in that event as
many as four or five dwelling units could be built.
Member Lauber noted that there hasn't been a problem during the past
twenty years and she felt the City Council should do everything
possible to protect the housing along Santa Anita primarily for the
senior citizens. She submitted that the subject apartment building
is within walking distance to all of the senior activities which is
important especially for those who do not drive. The building is
in good condition and all that is really being considered is making
a paper work change.... it is very difficult to put 1978 standards on
something constructed in 1957. She said she would support the appeal
and commented that if more protection were desired a covenant could
be required on the medical building for future development in the
event of closure of California street,
c
Member Gilb agreed with this observation and said that the possibility
of expanding the recreation facilities of First Avenue School should
be pursued. He did not think this matter should be held up until
the California street matter is resolved. He would support the
appeal.
Member Parry stated in part that at some future date a determination
could be made concerning California, but he felt that the situation

is such that the apartments could continue to be used, the medical
building also, but that by granting a lot split two substandard
lots would be created and there already is a parking deficiency along
with front, side and rear yard deficiencies. lie could not support
the appeal.
Mayor Saelid said that from a zoning viewpoint there is nothing which
could be done to improve any of the deficiencies and that is why he
was interested in the closure of California and then shift the property
line which could mitigate some of these deficiencies. The apartments
could never be brought into conformity with present standards unless
half of the units were eliminated which certainly is not practical.
By granting the lot split it would sterilize the property in terms
of any improvement. He also referred to the vote of the Planning
Commission which was 5 to 0 with one abstention. He could not support
the appea 1.

Planning Commission recommendation for General Plan amendments for the
properties at 625-671 Naomi Avenue and amending the General Plan
Circulation Element (Res. No. 1033). The Planning Director explained
the subject properties are on the north side of Naomi along with
property on the west side of Lovell Avenue and Naomi Avenue known as
1243 to 1315 Lovell Avenue. The existing improvements consist of 11
parcels developed with single family dwellings and a parking lot.
Maps were reviewed indicating changes which have taken place since
1960. The Commission recommends a Commercial designation. Discussion
ensued concerning the parking situation in the entire subject area.
Mayor Saelid declared the hearing open and James Plotkin, owner of
1310 to 1316 S. Baldwin Avenue, stated in part that he has great
concern for the pedestrians particularly endeavoring to walk across
the alley next to the Bank of America; also with traffic trying to
make a left turn out of that alley into Baldwin. He felt there is
a need for an alley to run from Duarte Road to Naomi. If part of his
land is taken for that he would not have sufficient parking space for
his customers, however, he would give that up if the area could be
improved. He felt this would increase the retail business on Baldwin
Avenue and stressed the need for improving Naomi Avenue on the north
side.
Mark Allen, 707 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, representing the owners
of 645, 663 and 665 Naomi, stated in part that his clients are in
favor of the Planning Commission recommendation.
C. L. Fuller, 640 Naomi Avenue, submitted that those residing in the
new condominium on the south side of Naomi Avenue, are concerned
about the traffic problem which would occur if more parking were
provided; that at the present time there is a great deal of traffic
using Naomi Avenue. He did not feel that there is need for more
parking space as this would only add to the traffic. He also felt
the north side should be residential (R-3) as commercial would only
compound the traffic problem.
I
Oscar Kraft, 630 W. Duarte Road, spoke in favor of the Planning
Commission recommendation and submitted in part that he is endeavoring
to purchase all of the property on the north side including the
corner of Lovell and Naomi for commercial purposes.
Steve Worsley, owner of 673 Naomi Avenue, expressed concern about the
location of the alley as it affects part of his property, and also

submitted that he favors the commercial recommendation. He had
empathy for the residents in the condominium but if the subject
property were made R-3 it would hamper the future development of
his property.
Mrs. Johanna Hofer, 875 Monte Verde Drive, commented in part that
there is an energy crisis in the Country and that perhaps the
contemplated zone change might effect the construction of something
to be sorry about later.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION
by Member Gilb, seconded by Member Lauber and carried unanimously.
Member Parry was in favor of the recommendation of the Planning
Commission and commented that the condominiums on the south side are
quite nice, but that he can only envision commercial on the north
side.
Member Margett also favored the recommendation as the zone change
would certainly enhance the entire block and area. He did hope that
any commercial use would be, of a low profile type commercial and felt
it incumbent on the City Council to protect the condominiums from
additional traffic problems.
Some discussion held on the designation of the northwest corner of
Lovell and Naomi. It was the consensus that this should also be
commercial so the entire block would be the same designation. Some
consideration given to widening Naomi, but this will be taken up at
a later date.
It was MOVED by Member Lauber, seconded by Member Gilb and carried
on roll call vote as follows that the City Council approve and file
the Negative Declaration and find that the project will not have a
significant effect on the environment; that the recommendation of
the Planning Commission as set forth in its Resolution No. 1033 be
approved and that the northwest corner of Lovell and Naomi be
included in the commercial designation.

On February 7 the City Council reviewed a petition for street
lighting on Laurel Avenue ... and scheduled a public hearing for
this date. The petition contained 17 signatures representing 65%
of the property owners however it did contain three parties which
are not on the current assessment roll. Verified owners constitute
54% of the ownerships within the area proposed to be improved with
a lighting system. Estimated cost would be $7250 " 75% of the
cost of installation would be borne by the City and the other 25%
equally divided between the property owners. Power and maintenance
costs would be at the property owner's expense. They would be in
what is known as Zone E of the Consolidated Lighting District which
has a current tax rate of $0.373 per $100 of land valuation. Funds
are in the Capital Improvement Program for undergrounding and
street lighting.
Mayor Saelid declared the hearing open and Tom Kasper, 204 E. Laurel
Avenue, was advised on the cost per assessed land value.

The Finance Director presented his recommendation for a complete

would accomplish a safeguard to the investment in the fixed records
which would be valuable to substantiate a claim for loss; it would
establish custody of fixed assets; it would include a computer
print out, would coordinate acquisition and replacement of fixed
assets.

In order to accomplish these objectives it would be desirable to
retain a professional appraisal firm and he obtained written
