School
Building
(DENIED)
Rio Hondo
Request by the Rio Hondo Preparatory School for a variance from the
Building Code to allow an air supported building to be placed on its
property on the portion within the City limits. Staff submitted a
report and recommended denial based on the findings of the Fire Chief,
Director of Public Works, Planning and the Building Departments.

Mayor Saelid declared the hearing open and William Barbo, 46 E. Woodruff
o,','~'
r Avenue, Designer and Engineer for the school project, stated in part
that they desire to construct this building for a use of about 18
, ~odths in which to house their activities during the construction
~~AA ., period of a five million dollar permanent building. The air supported
building would then be moved to their property in Wrightwood. He
also submitted that conditional use permit applications have been
filed with the County and the City for the new building. Mr. Barbo
said in part that the recommended conditions which have been listed,
should Council approve his application, would present no problem and
they would comply fully.
The Fire Chief stated in part that he could not approve the request
because of the danger to life and property which could occur from a
fire--that smoke does not escape from this type of building and it
does not meet the minimum requirements of the Building Code. He
noted that a fire station does not exist in that locality and he
could not approve the request..that he only included the conditions
listed in his staff report in the event Council did approve the
request.

Mr. Barbo further stated that no one wants to create a fire hazard..
that the requested type of structure was thoroughly investigated
before they gave it any consideration in the first place and that it
is approved by the Building Officials of Americs. He related the
operation of the air system and its backup system. A continuous
inspection procedure would be welcome and that this type of facility
can be fully insured.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Member Gilb, seconded by Member Lauber and carried unanimously.
Discussion ensued and it was the consensus of Council that it would
like to accommodate the request however based on the staff recom-

Central Area Street and Parking Improvements (Assessment District 76-1).
Staff advised on the procedure to be followed for this CONTINUED
hearing. It was noted that new bids for the project had been received
and submitted for Council consideration. Evaluations have been
accomplished and staff recommended the contract award to the low
bidder. The effect of this bid would reduce the estimated assessments
for each individual property owner. It was further noted that the
Parking Place Commission had reviewed the project and recommended
that the City Council make a contribution of $18,000 to offset the land
cost for the price of city property adjacent to the Medical Center.
The Commission also recommended an additional cash contribution of
$50,000 from the Capital Improvement Account.
Changes in the cost estimates and assessments in the Engineer's report
were set forth in the staff report dated December 6, 1977. The change
in the spread of assessments were indicated in percentages as follows:
Total project costs down 10.8%
City contributions down 6.3%
Assessable costs down 12.7%
Amount assessed to the Area of Primary Benefit down 12.7%
Amount assessed to the Area of Secondary Benefit down 12.7%
Council also received a list of preliminary estimated assessments
for each parcel within the District and the new amount for each parcel
based on the reduced cost outlined above.
No additional written or oral protests have been received and Mayor
Saelid continued the hearing. In response to an inquiry Richard
Carlson was advised on the amount of the new assessment and terms of
the bond.
Tam Lake, Stone & Youngberg, answered questions concerning the
differential in the term of the bonds and the premium to retire a
bon~ - all provided for in the Improvement Bond Act of 1915. I
Cou~cil then considered the recommendations of the Parking Place
Commission and it was the consensus of the City Council that it would
be in favor of the $18,000 contribution to offset the cost of the land
which amount is reflected in the following total assessable cost:
Cost of construction
Contingencies
Incidental expenses
Land acquisition cost
$146,097.20

James Helms, Parking Place Commissioner, recalled the history of
this matter and stated in part that the City is not really contributing
to the project; that discussion should be directed to contributing
some real money to accept the responsibility that the City Council
creamd a number of years ago when it approved the Towne Center.
Because the City created the situation he felt it should also bear
a greater financial responsibility and it has always been foresee-
able that the parking problem would grow. It's not a question of
hardship on the part of the individual property owners.. but a
question of whose responsibility it is and he felt the
City should put up additional money along with that required
of the merchants.
Bill Connelly, Downtown Business Association, felt there is much
which is not clear and in response to his question Mr. Lake of Stone
and Youngberg advised in part that there would be a 30 day period in
which the property owners could pay all or a portion of his assessment,
after which there would be a 5 percent prepayment penalty.
Dennis Lojeski, Parking Place Commissioner, supported the remarks of
Mr. Helms and submitted that the three absent members of the Commission
are of the same opinion. They all would like to see an additional
$50,000 contributed from the ,Capital Improvement Account.
Paul Fry who is in the process of purchasing 30 S. First Avenue was
advised that his location is not within the project area.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Member Lauber, 'seconded by Member GLIb and carried unanimously.
It was MOVED by Member Gilb, seconded by Member Lauber and carried
on roll call vote as follows that the City Council authorize a cash
contribution from the Capital Improvement Account in the amount of
$18,000.

It was further MOVED by Member Gilb, seconded by Member
Margett that an additional $50,000 be placed in the project from the
Capital Improvement Account. Following considerable discussion this
Motion was WITHDRAWN and Member Margett withdrew his second.
Member Lauber stated in part that she could not in good conscience
support the additional $50,000 and referred to Parking District No. 1
which is in need of repair and the possibility of a third district
being formed in West Arcadia, which will be in need of assistance
at some future point. She could not see any hardship reflected in
the assessments as presented.
At this point the owner of the property on which the post office
stands on Wheeler Street spoke to its assessment and was advised
that the amount now would be approximately $1,674 per year with a
total assessment of $18,018 for both of his parcels. He agreed with
Mr. Helms and asked Council to favorably consider a further con-
tribution of ~50,000.
Council continued its deliberations and it was pointed out that with
the $18,000 the City's contribution has been increased from the
$65,771 to a total of $83,771.
F. MacKenzie Brown, Special Counsel to the District, presented and

HEARING Request of Orla Pedersen to construct a building at the southwest
(construction) corner of Huntington Drive and Fifth, Avenue across, a City easement
I ,- containing ~n exis~ing 8-inch main line,sani~ary sewer, and assistance
,), ~for protection or:relocation of the s~wer if requested. The Economic
p ~ 00A..f'//;1?AJL. Coordinator exhibited renderings of the proposed building and
indicated locations of the sewer line. Mr. Pedersen would like the
Agency to bear the cost of ,either providing some protection by either
a concrete'encasement or a reinstallation of a cast iron line. The
figure would be in the neighborhood of $2500. During this consider- I
ation the Director of Public Works related what might occur in the
relocation and that unless Mr. Pedersen would submit a design that
would not seriously jeopardize the security of the line he could not
approve it.
It was MOVED by Member Gilb, seconded by Member Margett and carried
unanimously that permission be granted to construct the building
across the easement; that staff be instructed to draft a modification
to the easement allowing building construction with conditions
relating to the protection and future relocation of the sewer main;
that the easement modification document be returned to the City
Council for final action and that prior to the Director of Public
Works making a final recommendation the developer be required to
submit soils information and foundation plans for approval.

Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, asked the reason the City is
purchasing property at lll-l25 W. Huntington Drive. This matter was
authorized in the ARA portion of this meeting. Mayor Saelid explained
in part that it is recognized that this property is a key parcel in
the City and how it is developed along with the adjacent property
where the old theatre stands, could be very important as to how the
downtown area is developed; that the City Council has no specific
use in mind for the land, although there have been requests for the
use but Council is not in a position to talk openly because it could
compromise negotiations.
