Rev. Walter Hanne, Arcadia Presbyterian Church Assistant City Manager, George Watts PRESENT: ABSENT: Councilmen Margett, Pellegrino, Saelid, Parry Councilman Gilb On MOTION by Councilman Margett, seconded by Councilman Pellegriho and carried unanimously Councilman Gilb was excused. On behalf of the City Council and as Council Liaison to the Sister City Commission, Councilman Saelid presented a plaque expressing appreciation to Mrs. Carol Libby for her many efforts and accomplish- ments during her tenure on the Sister City Commission. Mrs. Libby said she will be working along with the Commission on education. On behalf of the City Council and as Council Liaison to the Arcadia Beautiful Commission, Councilman Margett presented plaques of . appreciation to Mrs. Cay Mortenson, Mrs. Marcella Whitmore and William Wyman for their many efforts and accomplishments during their tenure on the Commission. The City Clerk administered the Oath of Office to Mrs. Edith M. Casey, new appointee to the Sister City Commission. Councilman Saelid then presented Mrs. Casey with her credentials and welcomed her to the official City Family. Mayor Parry read in full a Resolution of Appreciation to Edward Chastain, retiring Superintendent of Building and'Safety. Mr. Chastain has completed 19 years with the City and he was wished every possible success in the future. Planning Commission Resolution 1049 recommending approval of a zone change from R-l, PR-l and R-2 to c-o for property at 671 Naomi to the northwest corner of Naomi and Lovell, including 1307 - 1315 Lovell Avenue. The Planning Director explored the background of the zoning of this area which is now improved with mixed commercial uses and parking on the north, single-family dwellings and a 26 unit condominium on the south and single family dwellings on the east with general commercial on the west. The General Plan designation is for commercial uses. The staff report indicates that following public hearings a resolution was adopted amending the General Plan Land Map designations for the subject area from residential to commercial. The proposed zone change would provide for consistency with the General Plan. During the deliberations the need for a D-Overlay (architectural overlay) was brought out. Concerns were expressed about widening Naomi Avenue which the staff recommends if the zone change is approved and the protection of the south side of Naomi. It was felt aD-Overlay' should be placed on the area,in which case the matter should go back to the Commission for recommendation in that regard. Mayor Parry declared the hearing open and Bill Martin, 602 Naomi Avenue, 7-5-78 - 1 - 23:9582 stated in part that the City is a quality one and is known as a Community of Homes which he hoped would be taken into consideration by the City Council. He submitted a petition with 124 signatures opposing the zone change and asked that the zoning remain as it is. Mr. Martin noted the investment made particularly by those in the condominium on the south side of Naomi and they do not want commercial opposite their homes. He noted the amount of water runoff experienced by the area during the heavy rains... He felt the money necessary to widen Naomi should be considered now that the budget ts being reduced. He felt property values for the residential .would drop if the north side went commercial. He asked the City Council to make a decision and hopefully in the residents' favor. Some discussion held on the increased traffic if the area should become R-3 whereas with CoO it would be less inasmuch as the businesses are rarely open during the evening. 1 Norman Morris, 606 W. Naomi Avenue, agreed with Mr. Martin and said in part that a buffer is currently present with the zoning already on the north.. because the rear of those properties back up to a parking lot. Referring to increased traffic he has already seen that due to the parking lot... he felt the properties would deteriorate with the recommended zoning.. He was opposed to commercial zoning and if the City Council would come to a definite decision the owners of the properties on the north side would go ahead and improve with resi- dential. Daniel Espinoza, 663 W. Naomi Avenue, speaking for himself and four out of the six owners on the north side, said in part that they are really in a dilemma... they have improved somewhat but the existing buildings are over 60 years old and there isn't much left to do... that the . area carries the overflow of traffic from Baldwin Avenue. He is trying to resolve the issue and felt the CoO with a D-Overlay would make it less commercially oriented. He felt something has to be done and they are endeavoring to work in a positive w~y. , ' Paul Klein, 640 W. Naomi Avenue, expressed concern about additional setbacks on the south side and submitted that his three bedrooms face Naomi. He said something should be done on the north side.. but would like to see the City Council take steps to finalize the matter and not keep sending it back to the Planning Commission. He felt a condominium on the north side would be ideal and that R-3 would be worse than commercial. He was advised that the City is no~ contemplating any dedication of property for street purposes on the south side.. only the north side. Domenico Parsi, 1312 Lovell Avenue, stated in part that the City Council should consider the desires of the persons who signed the petition... that the message is clear.. and asked the City Council to come to a decision. Mayor Parry commented in part that of course the 124 signatures will be considered but at the same time the City Council must consider the overall effect on the City's some 47,000 residents and decide in the best interests of everyone. 1 No one else desiring to be heard thehearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Saelid, seconded by Councilman Margett and carried unani- mously. It was the consensus of the City Council that the matter should be referred back to the Planning Commission and that it hold a public hearing with report back to the City Council at the earliest possible date. It was so MOVED by Councilman Margett, seconded by Councilman Saelid and carried on roll call vote as follows.' Mayor Parry commented further in part that a definite decision will be made at that time. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Margett, Pellegrino; cSaelid, Parry None Councilman Gilb 7,5-78 - 2 - HEARING (HARE KRISHNA) AUGUST 15 1 .~.~ \1, ~. "- 1 .'~.. . -' .' ' ;-;...... {.-:- ~ '1,"/ :.J\',\ . " 23:9583 Application of International Society for Krishna Consciousness of California, Inc. (Hare Krishna) for a religious solicitation permit. This matter was before the City Council on April 4, 1978 at which time it was continued to this date for additional data. Mayor Parry declared the hearing open and Joel Schanker, 3764 Watseka Avenue, Los Angeles, said he was the representative of Hare Krishna and in response to a question as to why he did not attend the hearing scheduled for April 4 Mr. Schapker said he did know about the hearing but did not receive any correspondence through the mail, only over the telephone. He has discussed the matter with the City Attorney and said he has submitted the requested material. He continued in part that he knew there is a great deal of public opinion in the City but noted the First Amendment Freedoms.. that it is a bona fide religious group throughout the country and it has a legal right to come into the City to disseminate religious views. He explained it is customary to give out literature and then ask for a donation to help defray the printing costs to aid with religious programs. Mr. Schanker said they have been issued permits in many cities in the County and that the organization has programs such as food relief and that last year it was working with Governor Brown on mental health programs, visiting mental hospitals, etc. He said there may be those who do not want Hare Krishna in the City distributing religious literature which is a valid and free opinion, however, he referred once again to the Constitution and that if a person does not want to talk with a representative of Hare Krishna that is his decision. Mayor Parry recited his experience at the airport in San Francisco and noted that the representatives of Krishna did not identify themselves but did have a badge or a certificate of permit from the City on purses. He said many people feel intimidated and certainly a religious group or non-profit organization has a right to certain constitutional rights but at the same time the City Council has a right to protect the public from misrepresentations in the City.. that there is a balancing of these rights. He noted the tremendous amount of material which the City Council has reviewed in its considerations. In response to a question by Councilman Margett concerning people with social problems gravitating to Hare Krishna and does the organization endeavor to help these people, Mr. Schanker said in part that such a person would have a difficult time adjusting to the principles.. there is no intoxication, no gambling, no illicit sex. That it requires strong character to live at the center.. In response to a question by the City Attorney he said he signed the application as secretary although he is not the official secretary of the organization. ~ Peter F. Geissler, 43 W. Forest Avenue, said in part he had reviewed the application and found that the method of approaching persons is not as indicated in the application.. He recited his experience at the Los Angeles Airport and other areas; that he has been approached in a rude fashion. He questioned Some of the items in the financial statement and felt the information is not sufficient for the issuance of a permit. He could not ascertain what formula was used for the statement and noted that a Form known as 596 has not been filed and he wondered if this has been filed with the Internal Revenue Service. He stated in conclusion that it would be his recommendation that before any evaluation is given to the issuance of a license that a detailed examination of their books, records, accounting practices and credibility should be undertaken by the City Council. Louise Werner, 878 Monte Verde, said she had experienced a similar incident at the airport as has been noted by other speakers. ... that she had been approached by a young girl without identification who pinned a carnation on her coat lapel and said "that will be one dollar" however Mrs. Werner just walked away.... she noted other instances of what she called harassment which could be documented through the Los Angeles Police Department. Jean Winberg, 122 White Oak Avenue, submitted the same type of 7-5-78 - 3 - 23:9584 experiences.. She asked whether or not they intend to establish a church in the city.... or a meeting place.... what age bracket will the solicitors be... she felt the young have to be protected and does the money go to counsel the young because the average church does not spend the majority of its monies on literature. Jerome Schneider, 215 Leland Way, agreed that everyone should have a voice.. but he travels a lot and said he sees the representatives endeavoring to give candy, flowers and general harassment... the First Amendment does give this freedom but citizens have some freedoms too... Re felt there should be some restrictions if the City has to permit them to solicit.. he does not want to be intimidated and he would not want them coming to his home to solicit as he has enough trouble at the airports. 1 ~' I \' Stella Ross, 355 W. Longden Avenue, resented being placed in a position of being intimidated and agreed the Constitution grants the freedom but citizens have freedoms also. She felt the exact position with the organization held by Mr. Schanker should be known... She said in part tha t they should open up an office in the ci ty and if persons want their literature they could go in and get it. She recited incidents encountered in other cities. She said Mr. Schanker emphasized the negative so strongly... i.e., they do not eat meat, do not do that, etc., that she could not accept what he said. Mrs. Ross then submitted material identified as follows: ~' THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN Article entitled BLACKMAN TELLS HOW HE JOINED KRISHNA GROUP May 14, 1978 Las Vegas Sun KRISHNA SECT FOLLOWER SUES OVER KIDNAP June 21, 1978 The Bulletin - Salem, Oregon Hare Krishna Sect object to abduction Judge says Dad should return son. April 13 and 14, 1978 Communications: Peter J. Jelito, 1747 Claridge, Arcadia, CA Muriel A. Call, 406 W. Longden Av., Arcadia, CA Mrs. Edna McErlain, 356 W. Longden Av., Arcadia, CA Mrs. G. A. Campbell, 301 W. Longden Av., Arcadia, CA Regina M. Lang, 482 W. Las Flores, Av, Arcadia, CA Robert Kladifko, 348 W. Las Flores Avenue, Assistant High School Principal at the Venice High School, told of what has transpired in that City in the last five years. He thought Mr. Schanker does not rep,resent the group as well as s:>me of the other members as he does not dress in the same fashion nor use the same approach or tactics. He asked why the application could not be denied on the basis of misrepresentation because Mr. Schanker said he was not the Secretary but he did sign the application. At one time when school was letting 1 out a group of the members approached the students in a very hostile and aggressive manner. They were asked to leave but refused and the police eventually had to come to assist... police records indicate they have broken the law many times... battery on a number of citizens at the Los Angeles Airport. He questioned where the group would be soliciting --- at Fashion Park, in front of stores, door to door and what tactics would be used. He said in conclusion that if the City Council grants the the permit he hopes it understands what is going to happen in the community. Captain Billy Oliver, Arcadia Police Department, submitted a summary of records: 1974 a young man murdered his father because the father refused to furnish money to further the use of Krishna activities; In 1975 a man murdered his wife in a dispute over their Krishna activities; In 1977 another murder occurred and a number of persons were arrested during the investigation and many were identified as members of the organization; In 1977 an Ohio man was indicted for murdering his wife..both were deeply involved in Krishna. In May of 1977 at the L.A. Airport a man was arrested 7-5-78 - 4 - 1 1 \- 1'. i,""'-""" .-\ ,'''; 23:9585 for possession of 685 grams of 95% pure Asian herion.. at the time of his arrest he gave his address and phone number as the Hare Krishna Temple. Another man was arrested with possession of 20 kilograms of hash oil and he gave his address as the Laguna Beach Hare Krishna Temple. Another arrest was made in October of 1977 in Newport Beach for possession of one pound of 85% Asian heroin.. In December of 1977 an airline employee and female Krishna member had a verbal altercation over methods of soliciting. A male Krishna interceded and severely injured the airline employee. A multi-million dollar law suit has been filed by a communication firm charging Krishna with the illegal use of their private communication system.. making thousands of dollars worth of long distance phone calls. Captain Oliver said every agency he contacted regarding their experiences has been the same.. the members are disruptive, assaultive and combative. There is no evidence of gainful employment. Arcadia Police Officer Ed Winter, said in part that prior to affiliating with the Arcadia Police Department he was a police officer in the City of Pacific Grove and was assigned to the narcotics division working undercover throughout that area including Big Sur, where possible runaway juveniles were hiding out or living in a Krishna commune. During an investigation a purchase of one key of marajuana was made from three members of the Krishna group. An arrest was made and a conviction in court. There was continuous trouble in the City with harassment of employees, the merchants and customers in the business district. In some instances they were unable to produce identification.. He noted that there was a policy of the organization to remove all worldly identification at which time they take on another name which the Church gives.and that is not a legal and valid name. Joel Schanker said in part that he considers it an irresponsible oversight on the part of the City with relation to a financial statement which is always considered confidential and he could not see why it should be made public.... that they deal with the public every day in the major cities of the world and it would follow that there would be some who feel they were not treated nicely for one reason or another.. that they also receive letters of appreciation for the canvassing work of the representatives. That he could easily furnish those letters. He said he has never heard of the things mentioned by the police officers. He had however heard of the Laguna Beach case. Mayor Parry said in part that there is no quarrel with views or opinions as long as it does not interfere with another's right and by a spirited approach. That in his opinion based on the testimony thus far with the specific instances where there has been actual inter- ference -- that is what he objects to. Everyone is entitled to his right or his own view which the Constitution guarantees - still everyone has the right to be free of a forced view being placed upon him. That the Constitution could be taken to prove or disprove almost anything. In response to a question Mr. Schanker said he wouldn't deny the spirited approach of some of its members. That to be approached in such a manner is not the rule but an exception. He does not do soliciting but he knows that classes are held and there are instances where a member isn't sufficiently trained. In conclusion Mr. Schanker said in part that the City has the re- sponsibility of limiting the time, places and circumstances for public safety.... and he submitted a decision cited in the United States Supreme Court concerning a State's power to prevent or punish when there is clear and present danger of riot, disorder, interference with traffic upon public streets or other immediate threat to public safety, peace or order appears, but the State may not unduly suppress free communication of views, religious or other guises of conserving desirable conditions. Councilman Saelid referred to the concern expressed by Mr. Schanker concerning the contents of his application and submitted material and reminded him that he is applying for a religious solicitation permit which implies a public trust and the information is public and available for public scrutiny...if that is not to his liking the application may always be withdrawn. Mr. Schanker responded in part 7-5-78 - 5 - HEARING (Apartment Conversion) APPROVED /~ 1R- / .' I , I: () jS 1. I 23:9586 that he knows the application is public but not the confidential information of the corporation. The City Attorney said in part that the public has a right to know where funds are going and the only way they can find that out is to examine the financial statement - they have a right in this instance because Krishna will be soliciting funds in this City. The City Attorney then brought to the attention of Mr. Schanker excerpts from articles which have been submitted to the City and one indicated that a head member of the Krishna Society had written "that there is a misconception that the Movement represents a Hindu religion.. that it is in no way a faith or religion.. it seeks to defeat other faiths or religion.. rather it is an essential sectarian faith...that the Movement has nothing to do with the Hindu religion or any system of 1 re1igion~ He noted other charges in some of the submitted material. Mr. Schanker said they are just charges. When asked if he was aware of any other arrests or prosecutions, convictions for fraud where Krishna members have been so charged Mr. Schanker said he did not, although he was familiar with Germany cases.. which were thrown out of court. Jeff Dring, 205 Alice Street, was advised that the fact Mr. Schanker signed the application as Secretary and then sa~d he was not sbou1d be taken into consideration. Dave Robinson, 144 A1ta Street, suggested that the City Attorney check to see if Schanker is the legal name of the applicant and does he have a right to use it on legal documents. Mr. Schanker responded that it is his legal name; that as far as signing the application is concerned he is the official representative designated by the Trustees to make applications and it hasn't been brought up before by any of the Cities --- He is not the Secretary of the Corporation, and someone else could be designated. In response to the question about the age of the solicitors Mr. Schanker said in part that 'there is no set policy; that it would have to be someone old enough to carryon a conversation. At this time the City Council entered an executive session and reconvened - Mayor Parry requested Mr. Schanker to provide a balance sheet of the last fiscal year including a current profit and loss statement for the last fiscal year - both certified by a California Public Accountant. These to be submitted to the City Attorney no later than August 1, 1978. He advised that the public hearing would be continued to August 15, 1978 when all Councilmen will be present; that after receiving any additional testimony and information it is anticipated that a definite decision will be made one way or another. Appeal filed by James O. Vandervoort from the decision of the Planning Commission in its denial of his application to convert an apartment complex at 1122 - 1128 Fairview Avenue into a condominium. It was noted in the staff report that the apartment was constructed in 1971 and Mr. Vandervoort plans to bring it into compliance with the building code.Modifications were requested for side and rear yard setbacks, building length, distance between buildings and required parking... It is deficient by five parking spaces. 1 Mayor Parry declared the hearing open and the applicant addressed the City Council and referred to a comprehensive brochure which he had submitted for Council's consideration and noted the security parking would prohibit others from parking on the property and would also prohibit trade vehicles from blocking access. He felt the security parking should be considered as opposed to the number of guest parking spaces which are required. He said the parking on the street has never been a problem for the tenants and asked the City Council to grant his appeal. During this consideration Ray Copley of Loren Phillips and Associates, 137 E. Huntington Drive, noted other conversions which have been approved recently and asked the City Council to favorably consider this one. 7-5-78 - 6 - 1 HEARING (Nuisance barking dog) (JAN. 2, 1979) 1 HEARING (CABLE TV) JULY 18 f ~"l ~ "'.' ". I 23:9587 Jay Scatchard, 1122-1128 Fairview, said he has lived in the complex for over a year and that parking has never been a problem and he felt the security parking would be an asset to the tenants. Irene Castleman, 1137 Fairview, said in part that parking is a problem. Her apartment building is across the street and said the parking should comply with the, Code. No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Pellegrino, seconded by Councilman Margett and carried unanimously. Three of the Councilmen felt the conversion would be an improvement providing the building is brought up to Code as agreed to by the applicant especially with the security parking. Councilman Margett, however, felt there will be many such requests and that the policy should be strictly adhered to and was opposed to granting the request. It was MOVED by Councilman Saelid, seconded by Councilman Pellegrino and carried on roll call vote as follows that the appeal be granted and that the tentative map of Tract No. 35210 and Modification M-78-57 be and it is hereby APPROVED subject to conditions specified. AYES: NOES: ABSENT : Councilmen Pellegrino, Saelid, Parry Councilman Margett Councilman Gilb Pursuant to complaints received concerning a barking dog at 165 W. Arthur Avenue, the owner was notified to be present at this hearing to see what could be done to resolve the matter. The owner, Mrs. Gail Denson, addressed the City Council and said in part they are endeavoring to train the dog which is about 14 months old; that there are many young people in the home and fuey play with the dog and he does bark but that there are other dogs in the neighborhood and she thinks at times the neighbors are hearing the other dogs. One police officer had waited out an hour and said he did not hear the dog barking - however, another said he had. Mrs. Denson said they will continue to try to keep the dog from barking. One of the signers of the petition, Dave Szany, 150 W. Las Flores Avenue, said the situation has improved and he can hear the Densons trying to train the dog; that he has two dogs and they bark when strangers approach the home. He thanked Mrs. Denson for her endeavor to train her dog and said dogs are part of a family. The hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Sae lid, seconded by" Councilman Marge tt and carried unanimous ly. It was the consensus that" the complaint should be RECEIVED and the report filed;' that if ,the '.. ,'. situation continues it should be brought back to Council.. that it""'" appears there will be a remedy. Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Saelid, seconded by Councilman Pellegrino and carried on roll call vote as follows that the matter be FILED for the time being and CONTINUED for six months. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Margett, Pellegrino, Saelid,' Parry None Councilman Gilb The City Council received the proposed draft to provide for the granting of a franchise for a cable TV system for a period of 10 years to Teleprompter, Inc., the current franchisee. Because there are still some areas to be resolved between both parties in the agreement the Assistant City Manager suggested the matter be continued to give staff and Teleprompter an opportunity to discuss these areas with the attorney for the company and the legal counsel for the City. Mayor Parry declared the hearing open and Attorney John Nolan 7 - 5- 78 - 7 - 23:9588 discussed some of the language and said he could meet with staff and endeavor to come to a meeting of the minds. He would redline any changes so Council could consider them in detail. Clifford Peterson, 294 W. Foothill Boulevard, asked if Teleprompter has any plans to expand its TV coverage and Mr. Nolan responded in part that in order to expand to unserved areas they would have to have some reasonable expectation of return. It was submitted that if Mr. Peterson could secure sufficient signatures of those in his neighborhood to sign up and then petition the City, Teleprompter would, under the franchise, install the service at the standard rate. Bruce Douglas, Southern California District Manager for Teleprompter, Inc., said they would work with staff to work out a schedule for solicitation within the area to survey if there is an adequate market for the service. 1 Jeff Dring, 205 Alice, asked the City Council to be cautious in this transaction and hoped it would not be an exclusive franchise. It was MOVED by Councilman Saelid, seconded by Councilman Pellegrino and carried on roll call vote that the current franchise period be and it is hereby extended to September 1 and that the public hearing be continued to July 18. A proposed ordinance will also be ready for Council consideration at that time, and all changes will be redlined. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Margett, Pellegrino, Saelid, Parry None Councilman Gilb AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Jeff Dring, 205 Alice Street, was advised that the City Council has not as yet made any determination on the State surplus funds; that some discussion will have to be in executive session and the decision will be made in public meeting. He was also advised by the Finance Director on fund transfers. Mr. Dring asked Councilmen Margett and Saelid if they would reconsider their position taken on the tax raising ordinances. He was also advised that the budget had been adopted except for a few factors. Councilman Saelid responded that once it has been established how the financing will be and if it is found that revenue sources have been provided over and above what is necessary for those essential services he would be one of the first to consider rescinding all of them. Mr. Dring said he feels obligated to inform Council that a committee is being formed to either undo or repeal the ordinances and make an effort to overcome what in his opinion was an action of the City Council which did not represent the majority. Mrs. Sherry Passmore, 1109 Columbia Road, was advised by the City 1 Attorney on certain legal provisions.. specifically Section 419 of . the City Charter and Section 23a Article IV of the State Constitution relative to tax levies... also a State Supreme Court decision in support. Mrs. Passmore was advised to consult with the Finance Director regarding the financial status of the A!cadia Redevelopment Agency. Mrs. Jane Winberg, 122 White Oak Avenue, felt the budget should be based on this year's needs only. Louise Werner, 878 Monte Verde Drive, spoke to parking in the City's new parking lot on Wheeler opposite the main post office. She felt the design was not conducive to proper parking and said her car was defaced on one side when she parked there. She felt the spaces were not wide enough for the large cars.. Staff will check it out. 7-5-78 - 8 - HEARING SEPTEMBER 19 1 HEARING AUGUST 15 P " CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPROVED HEARING AUGUST 1 p: PARCEL MAP p: PARCEL MAP STREET MAINTENANCE 17l BLOCK PARTY 23:9589 Richard D r Evelyn, 42 W.
