On MOTION by Councilman Saelid, seconded by Councilman Margett and
carried unanimously Councilman Gilb was excused.
In its consideration of hillside roofing materials the City Council
at its meetlng of September 19, 1978 directed staff to eliminate the
existing developed residential areas from the proposed regulations
for all properties in the R-M zone, Fire Zone 4 and all properties
north of Elkins Avenue in Fire Zone 3. The hearing was then continued
to this date to permit staff and Commissioners to examine and
photograph recent fires which had devastated canyon areas.
The photographs were reviewed by Council and staff explained how
various types of material performed in those fires. Council also
considered two types of treated wood products which can achieve a
Class B or Class C rating depending on the application of the product.
At the present time wood products in residential areas in Arcadia
cannot achieve even a Class C rating and are referred to as unrated
products.
Staff was directed to schedule a public hearing for March 6 to
consider Class A or B materials for the R-M zone. It also scheduled
a public hearing for June 5 to conslder requiring noncombustible
roofing materials (Class A, B or C) for all new residential construction
regardless of location. During the interim staff will endeavor to
explain the issue to homeowner associations, Chamber/Commerce and
builders and bring back to Council the consensus of these groups.
The Planning Commission on January 23 amended by resolution one of the
conditions relating to the conditional use permit granted for the
operation of a handball/racquetball club at 1001 S. First Avenue. This
amendment will permit the sale of beer and wine on the premises -
restricting the sale and consumption to the second floor snack bar
lounge area. On MOTION by Councilman Pellegrino, seconded by Councilman
Margett and carried on roll call vote as follows said action was

Request of Mrs. E. C. Sheahan that the City Council consider repealing
the Arcadia Municipal Code provision regarding penalties for late
filings of business license fees. Mrs. Sheahan also asked that the
$17.50 fee for the period from July 1 through December 31, 1979 be
cancelled. Correspondence revealed that Mrs. Sheahan acquired the
property on July 24, 1978; the previous owner had paid the license fee
for 1978. Staff submitted that a business license is not transferable
and the business license so indicates. There is a $25 fee for late

filing and along with the 1979 business license fee of $35 there is
a total due the City at this time of $77.50. The City Council
requested additional information with a recommendation from staff.
The City Council received a request from four residents on Doolittle
Avenue that the parcel map fees of $400 be waived in connection with
the strip of property at the rear of 2501, 2509, 2515 and 2519
Doolittle Avenue which it was felt by the residents was unreasonable
considering the fact that they only paid $750 for the entire strip.
It was the concensus of Council that staff determine an equitable
solution in order to grant relief to the property owners.
Staff discussed at length its inability to enforce Code Section
9269.3 - Changes in Use - primarily in fue area of required parking
for each use It was noted that business licenses and building permits
are being held up due to the lack of clarification. One case in point
is 300 N. Santa Anita Avenue... the new owners want to operate a retail
sales office of spa accessories. The former use was nonconforming for
the location and there is no on-site parking. It was the consensus of
Council that the entire matter should be and it is hereby referred to
the Planning Commission for study and recommendation.
