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.

AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Council Members Lauber, Margett, Parry, Saelid None Council Member Gilb AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION / / I / PETITION FOR PARKING DISTRICT (SEPT. 20) y', 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 9- 6- 77 - 3 - SIDEWALKS PHASE XI Hearing scheduled (SEPT. 20)~ f: \ ' ~',IV' COUNTY SOLID WASTE MANAGE- MENT PLAN RESOLUTION NO. 4645 ADOPTED /. GRADE CROSSIN:; IMPROVEMENT APPROVED FOR PAYMENT "" V~(~~ FREEWAY NOISE v .~' \' 22:9307 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. I 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.

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.
