Parry and carried unanimously Council Member Gilb was excused.
Mayor Saelid introduced members of the Webelos Den No. 1 from Pack 113

function of City Council meetings through citizen participation.
Planning Commission Resolution 1014 recommending a General Plan
change to designate Santa Clara east of Santa Anita as a collector
street and Third Avenue as extended north to Santa Clara Street.
The Commission prepared a Negative Declaration for this project.
It was noted in the staff report that Santa Clara Street has been
designated as a collector street in the City's select system since
1964. The recommended designation of this Street would provide
for consistency between the General Plan and the select system of
streets and the recommended designation for the extension of
Third Avenue would facilitate its extension should such extension
be pursued by the City.
Mayor Saelid declared the hearing open and no one desiring to be
heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Council Member Lauber,
seconded by Council Member Margett and carried unanimously. It
was then MOVED by Council Member Lauber, seconded by Council Member
Parry and carried on roll call vote as follows that the Council
approve and file the Negative Declaration, find that the project
will not have a significant effect on the environment and that the
recommendations be APPROVED. The City Attorney will prepare the
appropriate document to effect this change.

exterior light fixtures may be mounted a maximum of fifteen feet
above grade on any wall or structure. The Commission prepared a
Negative Declaration on this\project.

ilEARING
(TRAFFIC

llARRIERS
APPROVED
This hearing was scheduled to determine the need of traffic control
islands at the Victoria and Balboa intersections which would reduce
or eliminate 3600 thrill-type turning maneuvers. Similar intersections
within the City were listed in the staff report dated November 15.
Drawings which were previously submitted for concept purposes only
would also apply to the similar intersections.
+ )3<21
Mayor Saelid declared the hearing open and the following persons
spoke concerning this.
Robert O. Bartley, 506 S. Old Ranch Road, spoke at length of the
three suggestions which had been made by staff and advised that the
Santa Anita Village Association had reviewed the plans and felt
Plan 3 would help in eliminating the practice of reckless exhibition
driving and high rate of speed on Old Ranch Road north from Huntington
Drive. Projecturals were shown and Mr. Bartley indicated the problem
spots and felt islands at the Victoria and Balboa intersections would
help. Also the intersection at Coronado is dangerous. He asked the
City Council for assistance and perhaps have another study made of
the speed of the traffic.
Ann Kronenbitter, 405 S. Old Ranch Road, also spoke of the speed and
asked the City Council to assist in slowing down the traffic.
Larry Kent, 604 S. Old Ranch Road, supported the remarks made by
Mr. Bartley. He would support a suggestion that barriers be placed
on a temporary basis if there were a guarantee that they would
become permanent, but could not support the idea if they were similar
to those at Hugo Reid and Golden West. He was not sure he could
support that.
Robert Kronenbitter, 405 S. Old Ranch Road, spoke to the speed of
the traffic and the possibility of fatalities.
Robert Kelly, 512 S. Old Ranch Road, supported the thought of
barriers and suggested stop signs at Old Ranch Road at Balboa and
one for traffic going south on Victoria going toward Huntington
Drive. He also spoke of areas where there are no lights.
I
Marcus Otto, 615 S. Old Ranch Road, said the violations are committed
by both young and old and felt barriers would help and noted that
children leave the school bus at his corner location and the danger
of the situation is paramount because about 50 percent of the cars
do not stop at the Balboa stop sign.
Tony Henrich, 431 N. Altura Road, then introduced the following
members of his Webelos troup who spoke to their individual viewpoints
on the problem.

James Glass, 706 S. Old Ranch Road, spoke at length about the
problem and was in agreement about the danger due to the speeding
which starts from Huntington Drive going north on Old Ranch Road.
He was opposed to the erection of barriers.. felt they would not slow
down the traffic..that the problem was not the so-called donuts but
the speed. He noted the absence of sidewalks and inadequate lighting.
He hoped to see sidewalks someday.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION
by Council Member Margett, seconded by Council Member Parry and
carried unanimously. Council deliberated at length and submitted
the unanimous position that something must be done now to help the
situation; favored barriers if only on a temporary basis to ascertain
their effectiveness and a stop sign going north on Old Ranch Road
at the most advantageous location. The possibility of sidewalk
construction and improved lighting was also explored.
It was MOVED by Council Member Margett, seconded by Council Member
Lauber and carried on roll call vote as follows that an evaluation be
made to ascertain whether or not the property owners in the subject
area would like the construction of sidewalks; an evaluation of the
lighting situation; that temporary illuminated barriers be constructed
at Old Ranch Road at the Victoria and Balboa intersections; that a
stop sign be erected at a location to be determined by the Director
of Public Works and large stop signs to replace the existing ones.

Lighting Maintenance District....that where property owners desire
the lighting it can be done with the property owners paying a share
of the cost... It was the consensus of Council that the residents
be advised of the procedure for obtaining improved lighting. This
can be done through the City Newsletter.

Request for a variance from the Building Code was filed by the Rio
Hondo Preparatory School in order to erect an air-supported building
on its field which is located within the City. The building would
be 120 x 80 feet and would be used as a gymnasium and auditorium
for approximately 250 people. It was noted in the staff report that
there are serious reservations relative to the safety of this.. type
of structure and its possible proliferation if this request were
approved. Staff asked for a continuation in order to submit a
more comprehensive report and recommendation. Mayor Saelid declared
the hearing open. No one desired to speak at this time and the
matter will be carried over until December 6.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of Tract No. 33902 I
which would create a 32 unit condominium at 1135-1155 Arcadia Avenue,
subject to all conditions in the staff report. It is consistent
with the existing zoning and the General Plan. During this
consideration the developer, Sam Falzone, answered questions concerning
the type of condominium he is constructing. He said in part that he
has three floor plans with from 1550 to 1800 sq. ft. per unit.
It was MOVED by Council Member Margett, seconded by Council Member
Lauber and carried unanimously that the Council approve .and file the
Negative Declaration, find that the project will not have a
significant effect on the environment; that it is consistent with the
General Plan and that the waste discharge from the tract would not
result in a violation of the existing requirements set forth in the
Water Code; that the Director of Public Works be authorized to
approve subdivision agreement and that the tentative map be approved
subject to all conditions.

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
./
James Glass, 706 S. Old Ranch Road, asked that the City Council
consider a change in the lighting and directional signs, primarily
in order to assist a motorist to locate the police facility.. that
the present signs are confusing and misleading. During his pre-
sentation he said he has become aware of a morale problem in the
Police Department; He asked the City Council to look into this and
submitted that the City has an excellent police department.
v"
Mayor SaeUd agreed that the City has a very good police department
and that the City Council is concerned about the morale. As far as
the sign indicating the location of the Police Department and City
Hall the Acting City Manager advised that plans are already underway
to improve all of the lighting and sign designations in connection

with the completion of the new Council Chamber.
Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, suggested that Council give
consideration to acting as host city for the athletes who will be
coming to Los Angeles to perform the Olympics in 1984. The
athletes he has in mind would be those from the countries of Greece
and Australia inasmuch as the City has Sister Cities in both
countries.. that perhaps housing could be offered also.
Council received the communication from Warren Siecke, Consulting
Engineer for the traffic signal improvement between Holly and
Michillinda. Originally Mr. Siecke proposed modification of the
existing Singer controllers and interfacing with the proposed
Multisonic system. Fro~ the letter it appears that optimum results
can only be obtained by replacing the existing equipment. This would
cost approximately $32,000 which would be an additional 10 percent
over the estimated cost. Staff recommended authorization. It was
MOVED by Council Member Parry, seconded by Council Member Margett and
carried on roll call vote as follows that Mr. Siecke be AUTHORIZED
to complete the plans and specifications incorporating the changes
suggested in his communication. Funds are available in the Gas Tax
Account.

Staff advised that a grant in the amount of $30,500 was applied for
and approved by the State Office of Traffic Safety. The purpose and
aim of the grant will be identification and surveillance of accident
locations and will result in reduction of traffic accidents through
improved analysis methods, engineering improvements and selective
enforcement. The project has been approved subject to the studies
being made by a consultant and includes a provision to purchase four
traffic counters which would be used in the study and become city
property.
It was MOVED by Council Member Lauber, seconded by Council Member

The City Council previously adopted the proposed bikeway through the
Arcadia County Park at an estimated cost at that time of about $4,000.
Revisions were indicated and were submitted to the County Parks and
Recreation Department. The County now advises that the total cost
estimate would increase to $6,700. It was staff's position that the
added safety aspects and the potential for future extension would be
worth the $2,700 increase. Funds could be provided from the $9,094
allocated in the Capital Improvement Account for bikeway development.
It was MOVED by Council Member Lauber, seconded by Council Member

Asked for direction concerning tentative tracts and submitted that
the Planning Commission has advised that it does not really want to
see the plot plan layouts... this was due to the fact that in the
State Map Act there is no basis for denial or approval of a project
because of its design, however, he would like to know if the City
Council wants to review the layouts. He said this would not be too
staff time consuming - only a matter of knowing which way to go. It
was the consensus of Council that it would like something along this
line so it would be aware of the quality of developments which are
taking place.
