In order to hear from anyone in the audience who could not attend a
future meeting Mayor Lauber declared the hearing open and Fred Jahnke,
II Hacienda Drive, stated in part that he recognizes the fact that the
hearing is on the draft Environmental Impact Report but that in his
opinion the financial impact is of greater concern to the majority of
the citizens with whom he has recently spoken. Mr. Jahnke then
referred to his communication addressed to Councilman Saelid and
explored some of the questions propounded therein concerning the
financing of this project which is estimated to cost around $500,000
for improvement of a portion of Foothill Boulevard. Councilman Saelid
advised that he had received Mr. Jahnke's letter and that he will
respond shortly. (Mr. Jahnke's communication is on file in the office
of the City Clerk).
It was MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Parry and carriel
unanimousiy that this matter. be continued to November 10 at 7:30 p.m" .
in the Council Chamber. The Director of Public Works will renotify
all property owners of the continuation to the date and time certain.
Appeal filed by Jules Sandford on behalf of the Arcadia Datsun from
two conditions imposed by the Planning Commission in connection with
the granting of a conditional use permit for an existing car dealership
and to expand motor vehicle parts and auto preparation center at
333 E. Huntington. Drive. The Planning Director expanded on the
conditions set forth in Resoluti9n No. 955 and exhibited projecturals
indicating the rather complicated ownerships of the properties
involved.
Mr. Sandford advised that the owner has agreed to install light
standards within a specified period of time and if he should be unable
to acquire the so-calle~,Zerell property then that corner parcel would
not become a part of the Datsun business. As to the landscaping
requirement he felt it w9uld obstruct the view of the new automobiles
and would alter the car alignment. A suggestion was made that this
could be accomplished by potted plants and Mr. Sandford said this would
be acceptable and would probably be more attractive.
Discussion ensued on the time element and it was MOVED by Councilman
Gilb, seconded by Councilman Saelid and carried on roll call vote as
follows that the conditional use permit be approved subject to the
conditions set forth in the Commission's resolution with the following
modif{cations:
,Section 3 Condition 4 to read: The string lights shall be replaced
with light standards not exceeding 20 feet in height within
eighteen months or within six months of the acquisition of the
Zerell property, whichever date first occurs. Such lights shall
be hooded and screened from adjacent properties and streets. If
this is not complied with the congitional use permit shall be
terminated.
Section 3 Condition 5 to read: Landscape planters or pots shall be 'I
provided along the Huntington Ddve frontage where planters do not
exist. Said planters or pots shall be subject to the approval of
the Planning Department and shall be installed within three
months. If this condition is not complied with the conditional
use permit shall be terminated. In order to comply with Condition
5 plans showing the location, type and size of planting materials
must be submitted to the Planning Department for review and approval.

The Planning Commission granted a Conditional Use Permit for permission
to construct a Kentucky Fried Chicken take-out building on the same
site as the Sizzler Restaurant, 855 W. Baldwin Avenue and to permit an
existing dwelling and to provide parking on the lot at 711 Fairview
Avenue. Conditions were set forth in the Commission's Resolution
No. 957. It was noted that a take out business does not require a
conditional use permit, however, because the use is located on the
same property as the Sizzler which has a conditional use permit a
new application had to be filed in order to expand the use of the
property. In answer to an inquiry the Planning Director said the
resident in the existing dwelling is not willing to sell at this time.

carried on roll call vote as follows that the conditional use permit

with approval'of the tentative map of Tract No. 31656,400-410 W.

applicants are in the process of obtaining the property and until such
time arrangements have been made to lease property from the Atchison,
Topeka ,and Santa Fe Railroad on a year-to-year basis.
During this consideration the City Attorney advised that he would not
be able to rule on the legality as to whether or not the applicant 1
co";ld lease the property from the ,railway company. This due to the
fact that he is purchasing a home adjacent to this tract. He stated

lease arrangement it may be subject to the Attorney General's ruling

Referred to the possibility of obtaining State funding for noise barriers
along the Freeway and staff will put forth every effort in this regard.
Suggested that Council members visit property on the S/W corner of Naomi and
El Monte with reference to the radio ham operator's antenna which
apparently meets the City Code but is an eyesore.
Referred to encroachment into the public right-of-way by the construction
of a brick wall on Altura adjacent to the restaurants and parking lot at
Colorado and Michillinda. The Planning Director said his department will
soon have a report on the entire subject.
Pursuant to Councilman Gilb's inquiry the City Clerk advised that the
matter of race track passes being issued without the imposition of a tax
will appear in the minutes of the adjourned regular meeting of
October 28.
At 10:50 p.m. the meeting adjourned to Wednesday, November 10 at 7:30
in the Council Chamber to consider the Foothill improvement project.
Property owners will be renotified.
