Request of David B. Titus, President of the Teledyne Camera Systems,
for a variance from the building code to permit the installation and
occupancy of a mobile structure as office space on a 24 month basis.
The Planning Director explained the conditions under which the
variance could be approved.
Mayor Saelid declared the hearing open and Mr. Titus submitted the
reasons for the request - primarily because of the growth of the I
business the additional space is needed and that he is looking forward
to constructing a new building within two years. Discussion held on
some of the conditions and Mr. Titus did not foresee any problems
except the provisions for utilities to be underground and the tie-
down requirement. He felt undergrounding the utilities was really
not necessary for such a temporary facility and would like to leave
the tie-down requirement up to the appropriate City Department to
confirm the necessity. All other conditions would be acceptable.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION
by Council Member Lauber, seconded by Council Member Parry and
carried unanimously. It was MOVED by Council Member Margett, seconded
by Council Member Lauber and carried on roll call vote as follows
that the variance be GRANTED subject to the following conditions:

Council recessed in order to act as the Redevelopment Agency.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of Tract No. 31274
which would create a 3 lot subdivision and a 44 unit condominium at
634-650 W. Huntington Drive. It was MOVED by Council Member Parry,
seconded by Council Member Margett and carried on roll call vote as
follows that the Negative Declaration be APPROVED and FILED; that
Council finds the project will not have a significant effect on the
environment and that the tract be APPROVED. It is consistent with
the General Plan and the waste discharge from said tract would not
result in a violation of the existing requirements set forth in the

FOR PARKING

(SEPT. 20)

I. \b
\ : v
John Adams, 6 E. Huntington Drive, spoke to his water bill in the
amount of $67.36 which he said must be an error and submitted the
various costs for previous months and years. He said there is no
way his business (gasoline station) could have used that much and
asked for some relief. The Water Manager advised that the seven
year old meter has been checked and found satisfactory however, a new
meter has been installed. Mayor Saelid stated in part that the amount
of usage does seem unreasonable but the staff study indicates the meter
has been working properly and could only suggest that Mr. Adams file
a claim against the City.
Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, suggested that the scarcity of
service stations within the City be looked into by Council, as the
revenue derived from such facilities is substantial. Residents
should be encouraged to purchase their gas from local stations.
Doris Heiss, 222 W. Camino Real, referred to her neighgor at 230 W.
Camino Real, who is making cabinets on the premises!g~~ed that something
be done to eliminate the noise, dust, etc., from the activity which,
appears to be a business. Staff will investigate immediately.
Council received a petition requesting the formation of a Parking
District in the vicinity of Baldwin and Fairview Avenues. The signers
of the petition represent approximately 60 percent of the total
assessable land and about 59,450 sq. ft., of the 93,800 sq. ft.,
within the proposed district boundaries. The West Arcadia Business
and Professional Association submitted a letter in support of this
district. It was noted in the staff report dated September 6 that
the subject parcel is in escrow and a proposal has been submitted to
improve the lot with a condominium. It was staff's understanding
that the escrow is contingent upon approval from the City for this
construction.
John Garton, 32 N. Golden West and a realtor at 906 S. Baldwin,
representing both buyer and seller in this transaction, advised that

sometime ago an endeavor was made to put through some sort of parking
area at the subject location but they were unable to interest the sur-
rounding property owners. The subject property was then sold to a
developer for a condominium who has drawn up extensive plans, however,
negotiations have been held in abeyance pending the outcome of the
matter before Council at this time.
It was the consensus of Council that the proposal for a Parking
District has merit and that in view of the situation the matter should
be pursued with all rapidity so all those interested could be advised.
During the discussion it was noted that if the District is approved
all costs for acquisition, improvement and maintenance would be
borne by the properties benefiting from the parking district. Staff
will recommend a date for public hearing.

Council received the list of proposed locations for the sidewalk
program, the Negative Declaration and initial report, maps and
additional material related to the program. The estimated cost is
$72,200. Council concurred in the locations and it was MOVED by
Council Member Margett, seconded by Council Member Lauber and carried
on roll call vote as follows that the tentative list of locations be
APPROVED, that a public hearing be held on SEPTEMBER 20 and that the
Director of Public Works be authorized to give notice to the affected
property owners of the impending action.

the abatement of the noise emanating from Route 210 Freeway,staff was
directed to obtain additional information from the State Department of
Transportation. Based on the initial data received Council budgeted
a token amount of $75,000 in the current Capital Improvement Program
to initiate the accumulation of funds for ultimate 50 percent par-
ticipation in the funding of at,tenuation barriers. However, a recent
noise level survey was made by the State and a conclusion was determined
that the noise levels are within the limits allowable by the Federal
noise level standards for new freeway construction and consequently no
State funding of attenuation barriers could be provided. However
consideration would be given if the City would fund the project and
prepare plans and specifications along with estimates in conformance
with Caltrans standards. There is also legislation introduced, which
will, if adopted, provide State matching funds for noise attenuation
projects where local agencies contribute one half of the cost.
It was MOVED by Council Member Lauber, seconded by Council Member Parry
and carried on roll call vote as follows that an urgent communication
be submitted the Legislators asking for support of the legislation
introduced by Assemblyman Dannameyer.
