It was submitted that the area consists of 30,60 acres and reference was made to a petition representing 16 of 17 property owners within the subject area which reques (Ed the D overlay, It would place the Anoakia properties in the Rancho Santa Anita Property Owner's Association, The addition of the D overlay would permit a review of all proposed building plans by the Architectural Review Board of the Association. A Negative Declaration had been prepared by the Commission, Mayor Saelid declared the hearing open and John Collins, President of the Rancho Santa Anita Property Owner's Association, said in part that the requested D overlay is the next and logical step in the uniform development of the neighborhood, He referred to a communication in I' opposition and submitted that the property owner in question owns about 19,6 acres; that the Association had endeavored to negotiate a compromise but have not heard since then. He asked the City Council to grant the D overlay, Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, stated in part that he has no personal interest in the area but recalled when the owner of the 19,6 acres asked for a zone change in order to construct some houses that he sensed animosity from the neighbors at that time and felt it would be difficult to try to please the City Council, the Planning Commission and the neighbors, No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Member Gilb, seconded by Member Parry and carried unanimously, The City Attorney responded to some questions of a legal nature with relation to the State Law and submitted that Arcadia is a Charter City and noted that the communication does not specifically cite any statutory or case of authority for the propo- sit~on represented. Member Gilb read from the Minutes of the Planning Commission in which statements of the various commissioners were set forth, i.e., Ilfelt the people in the area had a right to be interested in maintaining the standards in their neighborhood; ." that Anoakia should be part of the community and not a walled separate development and that there were other Boards in the City with similar powers." Member Gilb continued in part that he would hope that when the subject area is developed the property owners would become members of the' ~ Association and participate in its activities. Member Gilb then MOVED to approve and file the Negative Declaration and find that the project will not have a substantial effect on the environment, Member Margett seconded the motion which was carried unanimously. Discussion ensued on the prOV1Slon for an appeal and Section 15 of Resolution 4219 (establishing regulations) was read by Mayor Saelid. This sets forth the procedure for making an appeal to the City, Member Gilb then MOVED to approve the "D" overlay as recommended by the Planning Commission in its Resolution No, 1035, Motion seconded by Member Margett and carried on roll call vote as follows: 1 AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Members Gilb, Lauber, Margett, Parry, Saelid None ~~ ~, Appeal from the decision of the Planning Commission in its denial of a modification request for an addition of a second unit on property at 843 S, Golden West Avenue, The appeal was filed by the owner of the property, Mrs, Slava Starr, who was represented at this hearing by Paul Miller. Projecturals were reviewed which reflected the proposed development with elevations and parking area. The areas of deficieny were discussed,.. Modification requests were as follows: 1. A 3' sideyard setback for the existing house and an 8' sideyard 3-21-78 - 2 - ~- 23:9478 setback for a proposed multi-family addition - in lieu of the 10' minimum setback. 2. 3 parking spaces for two dwelling units in lieu of a minimum of 4 parking spaces. 3. A proposed driveway to occupy 56% of the required front yard in lieu of the 25% maximum coverage allowed. 4. A 3' wide landscaped buffer between opening parking space and the property line in lieu of the 5' side landscaped buffer as required. I Mayor Saelid declared the hearing open and Paul Miller, 321 Leda Lane, designer of the proposed development, spoke at length with relation to the modifications requested, He submitted a survey of R-3 lots which are 45' or less within the City---- and asked if the true purpose of a modification procedure is not to secure an appropriate improvement of a lot, to prevent unreasonable hardship to an owner, He said if the City has allowed 40' R-3 lots to be developed then it is the City's responsibility to allow reasonable deviations or modifications in their development, He stated further in part that the owner will reside in one of the units and does not own or drive a car and therefore the three parking spaces would be sufficient although there would be room for parking 'in the front. Mrs. Slava Starr, the owner, explained the purpose of requesting the modifications and spoke of the time, money and effort which have gone into this project which was to afford her some return for her in- vestment in her retirement years, She felt she should not be deprived of this right and asked the City Council to act favorably on her request. Mrs. Hope Rechif, 927 Encanto Drive, owner of the property at 835-839 Golden WestAvenue, immediately north of the subject site, stated in part that she objected to the proposed project due to the deficiency in parking; that Golden West is a narrow and busy street and also that the proposed development is in her opinion too large for the small lot." that there will not be sufficient room for landscaping, She continued in part that it is her intention to eventually build some eight condominiums on her property, No one else desiring to be heard it was MOVED by Member Margett, seconded by Member Parry and carried unanimously that the hearing be CLOSED, I Member Margett commended the designer and the applicant in their design and presentation and noted that the modification requests are not so drastic but there are so many of them; when there are so many something must be wrong with the zoning ordinance because parking is a major concern of his. He felt the proposed development is too large for the small lot, He would sustain the Planning Commission in its denial, Member Gilb referred to the vote of the Planning Commission, 3 to 2 which he did not think was conclusive and read some of the statements made by the Commissioners who felt it would create a hardship on the owner not to permit the development with 3 parking spaces in lieu of the 4 required by Code, He noted that the owner does not own or drive a car and that this in his opinion is a very minor change, He did not feel to approve the request would be overturning the Commission inasmuch as the vote could have been different if all Commissioners had been present. He would support the appeal, Member Lauber agreed and submitted that she would like the owner to incorporate some type of grass-crete in front for the proposed parking pad in tandem; this would alleviate the barren look often accompanying this type of parking area. She did not think this would be a blight on the neighborhood and felt the designs are attractive and would add to the area, She would support the appeal, 3-21-78 ~ 3 - HEARING (Temporary tent-like s truc ture) APPROVED f, e"\~,(\ ~,,; \, HEARING Capital Program (Prior to July 1) (Hearing closed) j -' 23:9479 Member Parry stated in part that he is considering the property itself and not the people residing there now. He recognizes the frustrations but there would be just too much building for the size of the lot; that there is a definite parking problem in the area at the present time and that to approve the request would only compound the existing problem, Mayor Saelid stated that there would be room for 4 cars with the 4th in tandem and extending into the 25 ft, setback, He agreed with Member Parry in terms of considering the application; that it must be looked at in terms of what might be there with a new owner, He felt the owner purchased the property when the requirements were pertinent and knew or could have found out what the problems were, He felt the immediate area is subject to future development and that if this is to be truly developed as R-3 there will have to be some consolidation of the parcels. Because of the parking inadequacy and the coverage of the front yard in asphalt he would sustain the Planning Commission. I Member Parry MOVED to sustain the Planning Commission and deny the appeal, Member Margett seconded the motion which was carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Members Margett, Parry, Saelid Members Gilb, Lauber None Request of John Lee, representing the Rio Hondo Preparatory School - Boys' and Girls' Christian League, for a variance from the Building Code to erect a temporary tent-like structure with open sides for gymnasium and assembly uses, A miniature model was reviewed and the Fire Chief indicated there would be access for the fire department apparatus and a water line will also be installed, Mayor Saelid declared the hearing open and John Lee, 11424 Miloann, advised on the activities which are proposed and that it is their intention to build a permanent structure in the future, date for which is unknown at the present time. They do have a conditional use permit from the County which carries many conditions with which they must comply, No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Member Gilb, seconded by Member Lauber and carried unanimously, It was MOVED by Member Gilb, seconded by Member Margett and carried on roll call vote as follows that the variance be and it is hereby APPROVED subject to the following conditions, 1, That the permit be granted for a maximum of two years. 2. That complete working drawings and calculations be submitted to the Building Division for approval, 3, That all wiring meet the requirements of the National Electric Code. 4, That the structure meet the requirements set forth in Article 30 of the Uniform Fire Code and Title 19 of the California Administrative Code, I AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Members Gilb, Lauber, Margett, Parry, Saelid None None Consideration of the Five-Year Capital Program, Mayor Saelid announced that some consideration had been given to reducing or deleting some of the items but that in view of pending legislation the City Council had asked staff to make recommendations for cut- backs and that the program be adopted prior to July 1, He then declared the hearing open, Mrs, Johanna Hofer, 875 Monte Verde Drive, stated in part that she 3-21-78 - 4 - .

It was MOVED by Member Lauber, seconded by Member Margett and carried unanimously that the guidelines be APPROVED and that the date of April 27 be so designated. Recommendation of the Recreation Commission concerning the closure of California Street and the redesign of the ballfield area at First Avenue Junior High School, The Recreation Director explained that,the Commission felt the baseball diamond should be relocated to the north- east corner of Santa Anita and Diamond and that the football field be situated in a north/south direction extending into what is now California Street, Lighting was also recommended. He also submitted that there is a possibility of obtaining funds through the Bureau of' Outdoor Recreation and a meeting will be held soon with the State representative of the Parks and Recreation. This waS elaborated upon by Dave Wright of the City Manager's office, It was MOVED by Member Gilb, seconded by Member Lauber and carried unanimously that the recommendation of the Recreation Commission be received and that staff pursue the possibility of funding, Mayor Saelid advised on two appointments made to the Senior Citizens Commission (Mrs, Richard Young representing the Arcadia Assistance League and John Joseph representing the Arcadia Golden Age Club). He also advised that a meeting will be held March 23 to interview other potential appointees, The meeting recessed in order for the City Council to act as the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency. The prov~s~ons of the Procedural Ordinance were waived in order to consider the following item out of agenda sequence, This was on MOTION by Member Gilb, seconded by Member Parry and carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Members Gilb, Lauber, Margett, Parry, Saelid None None The City Council had received a petition for installation of a traffic director to control traffic entering Hugo Reid at Michillinda, The device would be similar to that installed at Hugo Reid and Baldwin which prevents traffic from entering Hugo Reid at that location. Gordon Stebenne, President of the Santa Anita Village Community.. Association, asked the City Council to give serious consideration to 3-21-78 - 5 - Lighting Santa Anita Village ~{&~ 23:9481 the request and in discussing the signers of the petition Mrs, Gary Curtis, 1156 Hugo Reid Drive, said she encountered only one resident who did not want to sign. Considerable discussion ensued concerning the manner in which the traffic traverses the subject area and it was submitted in part by Mrs. Curtis that the wrong-way traffic creates a hazard to automobiles endeavoring to exit Hugo Reid at Michillinda and to the school children walking to and from the school. Some thought given to the possible closing of the street, The Acting Director of Public Works summarized a report setting forth alternatives for improving the situation and stated in part that if the City Council determines there is need of a sabre tooth director it would cost about $1000 plus the installation costs and would take about four weeks for delivery. During these deliberations a report from the Chief of Police was reviewed wherein it was indicated that six cars had been seen entering Hugo Reid in violation of the posted signs., this taken during a recent survey on a specific day. I Member Gilb stated in part that if there are violations now and if the sign does not deter the traffic from turning in at Hugo Reid then steps should be taken to stop the practice entirely,.. if it takes sabre tooth installation then it should be done, He then MOVED to install the sabre tooth director at a cost of $1000 plus installation costs, Mayor Saelid seconded the motion, Member Margett felt the situation probably would be compounded either way the City Council determines,., he expressed concern for those residing in the area - particularly the danger to bicycles and motorcycles", and that to install the director would hamper the flow of traffic, He favored one of the suggestions of staff - to endeavor to control the traffic by installing more "Do Not Enter" signs and a concentrated effort made to alert the residents to the regulation and that it is a violation, He could not support the installation of a sabre tooth director. r '. ~ Member Lauber felt to install such a device in a residential area is like turning the area into a combat zone." that it has a military feeling and she resented such installation. She felt the danger to the children would be greater and if the situation is as hazardous as the neighbors feel then serious consideration should be given to closing the street in orderly fashion and make a real residential street out of it, Member Parry expressed concern that if the street were closed entirely it might set a precedent and other residents would ask for street closures, however, as the situation exists now there are violations and under no circumstances should traffic be entering from Michillinda and he would hope accidents do not occur from the proposed installation. Mayor Saelid said in part that he has not heard of any such problems from the director at Hugo Reid and Baldwin and that it does prevent continuous violations, Roll call vote was then taken on the motion to install. I AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Members Gilb, Parry, Saelid Members Lauber, Margett None Discussion held on changes in the lighting system for the Santa Anita Village area and Mayor Saelid asked Mr. Stebenne to check with the members of the association as any change will have to be considered for inclusion in the Capital Project budget, It was also suggested that if this matter will be discussed at a general membership meeting the Director of Public Works should be invited to explain the complex change, Mr, Stebenne said such a meeting will be held April 21 at 7:30 p,m, in the Hugo Reid School Cafetorium, 3-21-78 - 6 - 23:9482 AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION I ~~ \ ,C u P 205-221 E.

He also submitted the possibility of using the center divider area along Huntington Drive between Michillinda and Baldwin for parking. He noted the numbers of cars parked along that street, John Joseph, 408 N. First Avenue, expressed appreciation to the City Council for the creation of a Senior Citizens' Commission and for the opportunity of serving as a member thereof, Mrs. Johanna Hofer, 875 Monte Verde Drive, referred to a report prepared by the Finance Director relating to the impact to be felt if Proposition 13 is approved by the voters on June 6, She said it warranted a resolution to the people asking them to vote against the measure. She also referred to the newly established Senior Citizens' Commission and said she felt the members should be required to have resided within the community for at least three to five years. She would not like to see a citizen who has resided here for twenty years bypassed for one who had only been in the City for a year. She also felt the Rancho Santa Anita Property Owners Association should participate in the Hugo-Michillinda closure matter as they traverse that street a great deal, It was also sub- mitted that the Arcadia Redevelopment matter should go to a vote by the people. On MOTION by Member Gilb, seconded by Member Parry and carried unani- mously the following CONSENT ITEMS (as listed On the agenda) were APPROVED, Planning Commission Resolution 1040 granting a conditional use permit to expand a realty office at 205-221 E, Duarte Road.

The only option would be the construction of a sidewalk along the southerly side of Colorado Street and a pedestrian crosswalk and signal on the west side of the signalized Y intersection, These were indicated on drawings, It was further stated in the report that due to ground contours abutting the proposed sidewalk it would be necessary to construct a retaining wall varying in height from 1 to 6 feet and to remove approximately 10 trees - 8 of which are in one cluster, This carries an estimated cost for all the work at $40,000. Member Gilb MOVED to include this item in the Capital Projects Budget for consideration at a later date, Member Lauber seconded the motion and commented in part that it might be wise to wait until the park is completed when the traffic can be better evaluated and then see if it is worth the expenditure, She also referred to the lack of restroom facilities and felt the use would be limited anyway and that she was under the impression that Newcastle was to be only a neighborhood park, She could not support the motion, which carried on the following roll call vote: I AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Members Gilb, Margett, Parry, Saelid Member Lauber None On MOTION by Member Gilb, seconded by Member Lauber and carried on roll call vote as follows the request of Santa Anita Fashion Park for permission to use a searchlight at the northwest corner of the parking lot on April 7 between 7 p.m, and 10 p,m, was APPROVED.
