CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA
REGUlAR MEETING
SEPTEMBER 19, 1978
"
The City Council of the City of Arcadia, California, met in regular
session on Tuesday September 19, 1978 at 7:30 p.m. in the Council
Chamber of the Arcadia City Hall.
Rev. J. William Daum, Episcopal Church of Transfiguration
Water Manager Robert G. Berlien
Present: Councilmen Gilb, Margett, Pellegrino, Saelid, Parry
On MOTION by Councilman Margett, seconded by Councilman Saelid and
carried unanimously the Minutes of the Regular Meeting of September
5, 1978 were APPROVED.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1060 recommended approval of a
zone change from R-l, R-2 and PR-l to C-O and D for properties at
671 Naomi Avenue to the northwest corner of Lovell and Naomi Avenues
including l307.and 1315 Lovell Avenue. The resolution set forth
restrictions made applicable to the properties, i.e. height of
buildings to be limited to two stories not to exceed 30 feet in height;
minimum setback of 55 feet from the center line of Naomi Avenue; no
vehicle parking shall be located within the required front yard
setback; seventy-five percent of the required front yard not to be
used for driveway purposes, landscaping required; vehicular access to
the properties shall be from one-way ingress drives off Naomi Avenue
and a plot plan and elevations showing the proposed development shall
be submitted to and approved by the Planning Commission prior to the
issuance of any building permits.
Mayor Parry declared the hearing open and Daniel Espinosa, 663 Naomi
Avenue, speaking for himself and two other property owners, stated in
part that they were in favor of the proposed zone change and felt it
would mitigate problems. Bill Martin, 602 Naomi Avenue, spoke in
opposition to the zone change and recalled a petition he had previ-
ously filed with 120 signatures against the change. He felt it would
have a detrimental impact on the environment and that some of the
residents would leave, the neighborhood.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Saelid and carried unanimously.
The Councilmen then submitted individual observations in part as
follows: Councilman Margett felt there are always those who oppose
and favor a change such as is proposed, but the area in question has
been in a stagnant state for so long and because the structures have
not been remodeled or updated is evidence that no one wanted to
invest in R-1.
He noted the requirements for development as recommended by the
Planning Commission which he felt would act as a buffer to those
properties on the south side of Naomi Avenue. He would support the
recommendation.

Councilman Pellegrino was in favor also and felt the C-O with D zoning
would be an asset to the area especially to those Ii ing on the south
side.
Councilman Gilb felt that with the changes and the r quirements an
opportunity for a good project will come about and h would support
the recommendation.
Councilman Saelid felt the future of the area was pr

development to locate there. He felt the recommende

Planning Commission Resolution No. 1051 recommending an amendment to
Chapter 17, Section 1704 of the Uniform Building Code 1973 Edition,
relating to roof coverings. Staff advised that the Planning Commission's
Ad Hoc Committee (Building Materials study) along with Planners,
Building Official and the Fire Department had reviewed noncombustible
materials and ordinances of other jurisdictions having special
requirements for hillside areas. Properties in question include
those in the existing R-M zone, those in Fire Zone 4 and all resi-
dential lots north of Elkins Avenue. Those on the east side of
Highland Oaks Avenue were eliminated because the Flood Control
Channel property acts as a buffer.
I
Available water supply was also considered -- there are over 100
swimming pools in the area north of Elkins Drive, however, at the
present time the Fire Department does not have sufficient pumping
equipment. Roof types were also part of the oral report with the
condition of the roofs explored. Cost of reroofing was also explored
according to the material i.e., Cal-shake, heavy wood shake, tile,
treated or untreated wood shakes.. there are many divergent processes
but at this time they do not have laboratory reports.
Mayor Parry declared the hearing open .and spokesmen for several
segments of the roofing industry testified on roofing quality, types
of roofing,., cost and structural changes that might be required if
heavy roofing were installed by the homeowners. Those speaking to
this were Mark Basich, R & R Roofing Company; S. M. Malloy, Western
Regional Manager for the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing Association,
Morris Gold~erg;, representing the Red Cedar Shingle & Shake Bureau.

G. L. Patterson, 2164 Canyon Road, spoke to the brush area in which he
resides and noted that he is interested in obtaining the best fire
protective material for a new roof which he will soon need. He is
not certain whether or not the house could stand major changes in the
wall structures. The Fire Chief and Cap~ain Clark spoke to Class A,
Band C roofings which are required to be noncombustible and recog-
nized as such by the National Fire Protection Association. They
spoke to costs and other restrictions in addition to roofing material.
I
Al Green, President of the Highland Oaks Homeowners Association, said
he and the Association's Architectural Review Board had approved fire
retardant roofs. He said they did favor the recommendation of the
Planning Commission and that at the present time they only approve
tile or the wood shake shingle. In response to a question he said
they had not polled the members.
Residents speaking in opposition to the recommendation were Nadene
Sanford, 2171 Highland Oaks Drive, Judy Helmuth, 320 Topaz Place, Lew
Lawrence, 246 Angelo Place, Jean Wunberg, 122 White Oak Drive, Eloise
Ward, 325 Topaz Place and Sidney Raikin, 2016 Wilson Avenue. In part
they referred to the costs involved in replacing a roof, the fact that
some buildings could not withstand the weight of some roofing materials
and the fact that some of the materials could collapse under a person's
weight when it was necessary to be on the roof. They agreed many
homes were in need of new roofs but felt a change in regulations would
be discriminatory against those homeowners and asked Council to retain
the existing regulations. Mr. Raikin spoke as a structural engineer
with particular reference to what happens to dwellings during an
earthquake " particularly a house with a heavy roof because they are
not required to have the structural blocking necessary in commercial
buildings.
Morris Hegg, Chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee, explained that the
Committee was not endeavoring to propose the installation of a heavier
roof to overstress a building - that they had inspected about 20
material samples and they had recommended a noncombustible roofing
material but did not specify Cal-shake in particular but left that up
to the Homeowners Association - they did not feel they should take a
position on any specific type. He noted that the Building Code
addresses itself to everything but a roof --- they did not want in
any way to dictate what a homeowner should put on his roof.
I
In submitting personal observations Councilman Saelid said in part
that actually there are two sides to the question 1) the possibility
of changing the ground rules on existing residential areas and about
the residential mountainous area where reasonable development rules
may be established. He felt the present restrictions on. roofing has
made the area so attractive. He was concerned on what restrictions
might be placed in the mountainous area. He did not see the value of
seeking a poll of the membership of the association and felt it would
be wrong at this point to go into an area already developed and
impose a change when homeowners may have already planned their future
expenses. He would also like to see some staff studies in terms of
what additional consideration should be undertaken for the new area
as yet to be developed.
Councilman Pellegrino felt that those living in the subject area would
not replace a roof with anything but the best protective quality
material they could afford for the protection of their family. He was
against changing the developed residential area regulations.
Councilman Gilb agreed and felt every homeowner maintains his
residence in the best possible manner and a good roof is essential.
He als9 felt there was no use in putting on a heavy roof when the
walls would not maintain. He then referred to the value of being a
member of the homeowners association.. that it is one way of pro-
tecting an interes't... and there is value in numbers,
Councilman Margett concurred with what has been submitted but he did

feel a poll of the membership would be helpful... they should be
advised as to what is transpiring on the legislative level and how
any new regulation may affect the area. He was in favor of continuing
the hearing pending input from the association and staff.
Mayor Parry agreed with the intent to promote safety in the hillside
areas and would like additional time for further study especially for
the regulations for the new mountainous area necessary for additional
fire safety and improved structural engineering as far as earthquakes
are concerned.
It was the consensus of the City Council that it could not support
any change in the regulations for the already developed residential
areas and it was MOVED by Councilman Saelid, seconded by Councilman
Gilb and carried on roll call vote as follows that the City Council
exclude from further consideration roofing requirements in any zone
other than the R-M zone

Request for a variance from the Building Code relating to ramp
requirements (percent of grade of the driveway) at 1125 Fairview
Avenue. Staff advised that the Code currently requires the transition
at the top of a driveway to be a minimum of 20 feet in length with a
maximum slope of 2 percent. The applicant proposes an 8 foot transition
area with a slope of 10 percent. The Planning and Public Works
Departments recommend against the variance as it would not provide
for adequate public safety... it would be too steep and too short to
allow for adequate visibility over the front of a car.
I
Mayor Parry declared the hearing open and Lewis Rodwell, architect
at 1041 E. Green Street, Pasadena, spoke as an interested party ---
to ramps he has constructed in the area and felt the requirements are
not reasonable and submitted instances when he has endeavored to have
plans approved but has been denied. He felt a Committee should be
formed to investigate the ramifications.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was 'CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Margett, seconded by Councilman Pellegrino and carried
unanimously.
The City Council expressed concern that the applicant was not present I
as it would like to have discussed a possible space compromise and
felt that the ramp ordinances should be re-evaluated. Whereupon it
was MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Margett and
carried on roll call vote as follows that the request for a variance
be denied.

Complaints were received from four property owners adjacent to 1640
Old Oak Lane concerning the continuous barking of dogs at that address.
Mayor Parry declared the hearing open and Ernest H. Lehman, 134 W.
Sierra Madre Boulevard, said in part he was sorry to have to bring
this to the legislative body but that the nuisance had gone on so
long that it appeared he had no other recourse. He played a portion
of a tape recording of the barking on a specific date which continued
for five hours. He asked to be assured that he would not have to
contend with the nuisance any longer. He said he would like a period
of time to see whether or not it really did improve as it has recently.
Leonard Altmeyer, owner of the dogs, said one of the dogs has been
placed with a relative and is no longer at this address... that he
is guilty of having the barking dogs as charged but that they are
surrounded by dogs and it is possible that his dogs have not been
the only ones to cause annoyance.
Elliott Lief, 637 Fairview Avenue, said that if there are laws on the
books in this regard they should be enforced and should be handled by
the Police Department. The City Attorney explained the procedure and
recited the pertinent sections of the Arcadia Municipal Code.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED by Councilman
Margett, seconded by Councilman Saelid and carried unanimously.
During the consideration it was the consensus of the City Council
that a period of time should be determined in which to ascertain
whether or not the situation has improved and that during the interim
if it continues Mr. Lehman should contact the Police Department to
have the disturbance verified; that the City Attorney could also
draft the appropriate document finding that a nuisance does exist
which could be available for Council consideration on the specific
date.
It was MOVED by Councilman Saelid, seconded by Councilman Pellegrino
and carried on roll call vote as follows that the'hearing be continued
to November 7, 1978; that the City Attorney prepare the appropriate
document finding that a nuisance does exist which Council may consider
at that time.

Elliott Lief, 637 Fairview Avenue, inquired ~hether or not the City
Council is giving any consideration to a reduction or roll-back of
rents similar to the action taken recently by the City of Los Angeles,
i.e., roll back the rents to May 31 with a 6 month moratorium on
rent increases. He was advised that the City'Council has not
considered such a step and it was suggested that he contact the
Howard Jarvis headquarters for the apartment house representative in
the area.
Adrian Asencio, 232 E. Laurel Avenue, asked about the status of
lighting on Laurel Avenue and referred to a petition which was filed
signed by a majority of the residents in the subject area. He was
advised by staff that due to the passage of Proposition 13 some
projects had been deleted; that if the residents were willing to
bear the ongoing maintenance cost something might be worked out. It
was noted that the installation costs are assessed to the property
owner so there is no problem there. Mr. Asencio will confer further
with the Public Works Director and during the interim the City
Attorney will explore the legal aspect.

request.. The report was ordered filed on MOTION by Councilman

solution would be the installation of a physical barrier such as a
fence to restrict the access for this illegal activity. The owners
of lots which would be vacant for any period of time would secure
their property by the installation of some type of restrictive
barrier. It was MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman
