Rev. J. William Daum, Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration Councilman Margett PRESENT: ABSENT: Council Members Gilb, Margett, Parry, Saelid, Lauber None On MOTION by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Parry and carried unanimously the minutes of the regular meeting of September 7 were APPROVED. Mayor Lauber announced that an agenda item (No.3) relating to the lease of Water Division property at 230 N, Second Avenue, would be postponed and it was MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Margett and carried unanimously that it be placed on the agenda for November 2. PRESENTATIONS Richard Miller, City Librarian and President of the Arcadia Chapter of the American Field Services, introduced Exchange Students Lourdes Andrade-Morena from Quayaquil, Ecuador and Jane Comerford from Newcastle, Australia. Both students were welcomed by Council and a communication from the Lord Mayor of Newcastle was read in full. Dr. Richard Cordano, on behalf of the Arcadia High School Student Body, presented credentials to the city officials relating to the forthcoming athletic events. Student Body President Mark Tober was introduced. Mr, Tober hoped that the city officials would be able to attend the events. Council expressed appreciation and wished ,the school success. Members of the Boy Scout Troop 105 (Baldwin Stocker School area) were present and welcomed by Council. Planning Commission recommendation that a change be made in the General Plan relating to property on the north side of Las Tunas between El Monte and the Arcadia Wash. Resolution No. 951 indicates the change would be from Commercial to Single.Fa~ily, Residential~ 0-6 dwelling units per acre. The Commission found that the properties are not conducive to commercial development; that existing residences at 151 and 159 Las Tunas are compatible with properties to the north and are consistent with the proposed designation; that the traffic counts and noise level studies indicate no significant difference between the subject site and the residential area to the west on Las Tunas. The Arcadia Wash is a natural boundary between the commercial properties and the subject site to the east, 9-21-76 - 1 - HEARING APPEAL Setback requirements (Nov, 2) /;}cf ~.. ",-~.2 fl I -<- ~p'"' 5~1 HEARING (Lease-city property) NOV. 2 Hearing remains open ~, : ( fA..) ~ 22: 9072 Mayor Lauber declared the hearing open and a representative of the John Marshall Construction Company, the firm which made the initial application for the change of designation, asked Council to approve the change as it would permit residences to back up to residences rather than to perhaps 3 story office buildings and noted the natural buffer created by the Wash. No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Saelid, seconded by Councilman Gilb and carried unanimously. Councilman Gilb then MOVED to approve the recom- mendation; that the appropriate ordinance be prepared and that Council finds the proposed change would not have a substantial adverse impact on the environment. Motion seconded by Councilman Margett and carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: I Council Members Gilb, Margett, Parry, Saelid, Lauber None None Appeal filed by Maidie T, and Howard Bong from the recommendation of the Planning Commission for denial of their request for a 30 foot building setback from the center line of Santa Clara Street in lieu of the 40 foot requirement. The majority of the Commissioners felt that new construction in the industrial zone should meet the 10 foot street side setback standard for that zone and the anticipated widening of a portion of Santa Clara would put the proposed buildings on the street side property line. It was noted that the applicants had started preliminary site plans prior to the passage of the special setback, The applicant proposes to construct industrial buildings 10 feet from the street side property line. This would be inconsistent with the 10 foot street side setback normally required for industrial con- struction. The Planning Director projected two alternative plans to indicate developments which would provide more sq, ft. than proposed by the applicant and would provide for adequate parking and comply with the setback requirement. Councilman Saelid had discussed another possi- bility with the applicant who had expressed willingness to pursue this - in part - trade land to the south for city owned land on the east side of Third Avenue. It would be in terms of dollar for dollar of market value or assessed valuation. Mayor Lauber declared the~aring open and the applicant. said he had long advocated this solution and looked favorably upon the suggestion. No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Margett, seconded by Councilman Saelid and carried unani- mously. It was the consensus of Council that it would like to pursue this avenue - that of a trade - whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Saelid and carried unanimously that this matter be continued to November 2 and that during the interim staff confer with the applicant to ascertain whether or not an equitable arrangement can be worked out. I Lease of Water Division property at 230 N. Second Avenue, The City Manager advised on the proposals received - that two towing companies had bid on this and the Arcadia Redevelopment property at 135-41 Wheeler Street. It was noted that both would be required to obtain a conditional use permit to use the property for the storage of towed vehicles, Because the two highest proposals are directly related to the towing contract staff recommended that the matter be continued until the Police DepaFtment towing contract is awarded and the interest of these two bidders is clarified. The City Manager noted that perhaps the present lessee, Air Logistics Corporation, could remain at 230 N. Second Avenue on a month to month basis. Council asked for a complete report on these matters including a review of the specifications. Mayor Lauber declared the hearing open and it was MOVED by Councilman Margett, 9-21-76 - 2 - PROCEDURAL ORDINANCE WAIVED FEDERAL PUBLIC WORKS ACT r"~) ~w /1 \~ VI I 22:9073 seconded by Councilman Saelid and carried unanimously that the matter be placed on the November 2 agenda and that a report as requested by Council be submitted by October 5, In order to take the following item out of agenda sequence it was MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Parry and carried that the provisions of the Procedural Ordinance be waived and that 7h under the items from the City Manager be taken up at this time. A meeting was held recently between members of the City Council and the School Board concerning projects which might qualify under the Federal Public Works Employment Act, Council took action on September 7 to submit projects, primarily an auditorium, and authorized an appropri- ation of $2000 toward the updating of plans for an auditorium which were prepared some years ago. The School Board authorized an appropri- ation of $4000 for this purpose, It was the consensus of Council that the proposed fee of $6000 for the updating by an architect should be shared equally by the School District and the City. Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Saelid, seconded by Councilman Parry and carried on roll call vote as follows that Council reconsider its action of September 7. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Council Members Gilb, Margett, Parry, Saelid, Lauber None None Mayor Lauber opened the discussion to anyone in the desired to be heard on the matter of an auditorium, summarized as follows). audience who (Statements are Robert Whitmore, Jr., 512 Santa'MafiaRd,circulated copies of the subject Act and spoke at length on several restrictive areas therein. He noted in particular that the Director of Commerce will consider the severity and duration of unemployment in an area. He felt unemployment in Arcadia is not that severe and what there is is:,n6t in the 'building traQes. He also said in part that a City boundary does not constitute the community or neighborhood under the Act and if an auditorium qualified and had to be shared with surrounding communities be questioned who would have control, etc. He summarized other areas of concern which tie felt have not been answered as yet and although he realized that time is of the essence in meeting the deadline he urged Council to postpone any decision until more information has been obtained; that until regulations are promulgated no one knows how it is going to work. Carol Papay, 1415 Caballero Road, read a letter from the Arcadia League of Women Voters, urging Council to make an application for an auditorium to be constructed in cooperation with the School District; that it is an opportunity which should not be passed up and would provide the needed facility without placing a greater than necessary tax burden on the residents, Carol Libby, 438 W. Norman Avenue, said the PTA has not had an opportunity to consider the matter, but did point out the value to children of having an auditorium locally which would be in keeping with the goals of the PTA - to work toward things of great interest and need for children. She urged Council to submit an application even if it appears to be remote at the present time. Carol Papay, 1415 Caballero Road, speaking in her own behalf, said in her opinion the merits of having an auditorium and providing employment in this area would outweigh the regrets of having to construct the facility with federal funds. She felt the majority of voters in the City did express a desire for an auditorium but the vote was not sufficient at that time for the passage of a bond issue, Irvin. Living~toni,1927 Highland Oaks Drive; spoke in favor of submitting the application and noted that the Library' at the School was financed with Federal funds and didn't recall that the School was told how to run it. 9-21-76 - 3 - 22:9074 Priscilla Sibson, 16 Ontare Road, was in favor of making the application as soon as possible; that a firm decision can be made at a later date when regulations and restrictions are known. The individual Council Members then summarized their positions as follows. Councilman Parry said he had mixed emotions and realizes that an auditorium certainly has top priority and that he is one hundred percent for an auditorium. However, based on the data gained thus far the chances of obtaining approval seem to him to be quite remote; that the intent and purpose of the Act is to aid areas more underprivileged than Arcadia, He also felt Council is faced with a situation where the voters had previously rejected bonds for an auditorium at a time when 66 2/3% vote wa~ required; that-,they were un- willing to pay for the expenses which would be involved and referred to I today's taxes and Councilts efforts to lower the rate. He felt there are many problems inherent in the Act for which Council does not have answers at the present time, for instance, he could foresee problems if the auditorium were to be shared with adjacent communities... that there are too many assumptions and speculations, Councilman. Gilb stated that everyone agrees Arcadia should have an auditorium. He felt Council should take a positive approach and go ahead with the applications with the very best plans possible in view of the time element and see what happens, He was somewhat concerned that due to the deadline local architects would not have an opportunity. He referred to the position of the School Board in asking that only plans for an auditorium be submitted and asked the City Manager if there were items on the list which would affect the health and safety of the community if they were not approved. The City Manager said the-water project might' come under that heading, These particular plans are ready and could be submitted posthaste. Mr, Gilb was in favor of proceeding with the application especially in view of the fact that the School Board would cooperate and the attitude.,of;the community is favorabl~. Councilman Margett felt to deprive the community of the opportunity to gain an auditorium would be most unfair. He'was in favor of making the application and then to assess every aspect of the Act .. that compromises may be possible later on, and too, all of the projects may not be approved. Councilman Saelid stated in part that since the last meeting when he voted in favor of an appropriation to update the plans he has had an opportunity to study the contents of the Act and has discovered that Council should be considering projects which are not controversial in .nature; that he has talked with many citizens during the last two weeks and. they appear to be divided in their attitudes - those who are opposed to the concept period; those who feel there are too many strings attached and those who feel the City should accept the funds if their are no strings attached. He felt that there,certainly could be strings attached which haven't as yet been identified and that in view of the amount of the Grant being considered the chances of getting it I are slim. Also it appears to him that there w~ll not be an opportunity_ to carefully select an architect; that due to the time element the City would have to proceed with its proposal and go with the architect who , prepares that proposal which would not afford much of a selection process. The City Manager said that due to the many technicalities it would be almost impossible to wait to select an architect until after notification of whether or not the project qualifies; that he is en- deavoring to obtain some first hand information and will pursue all questions submitted. Councilman Gilb commented in part that he had talked with Mr. Ruhnau, architect, and had been advised that for the $6000 plans could be updated for the application and that the plans would then belong to the City. Mayor Lauber said she did not have any strong feelings on who the architect should be; that she would be willing to accept staff recom- mendations in that regard: She expressed confidence in the City staff and the School staff with their expertise in the field. She felt 9-21-76 - 4 - 22:9075 Council should seek every possible avenue for improvement of the City and with reference to the Grant she could not think there would be strings attached which would make it unbearable to live with. Because the School Board had gone on record as desiring to cooperate it was the consensus of Council that each Agency should share equally in the appropriation. Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Margett, seconded by Mayor Lauber and carried on roll call vote as follows that the sum of $3000 be appropriated from Capital Outlay, if the School will appropriate a like amount, for the preparation of preliminary plans sufficient for an application for a Grant under the Federal Public Works Act for the construction of an auditorium on School property.
