Discussion ensued with Member Lauber stating in part that she feels it fortunate to have been able to bring a national corporate headquarters for such a firm into the City and felt it will be an asset to the area and community as a whole. She supported the project in its entirety. Member Gilb supported the project. Member Parry stated in part that he agreed that the development appears to be an excellent one which would be compatible with the surrounding residential area. He was pleased that the subject firm will be remaining in the City. He could not agree to the differential I in price between the price City paid in acquiring the property and the cost of sale to said firm. He felt this would set a precedent under the Redevelopment Agency. He would have been willing to demolish the theatre building and have the property ready for development. He could not in good conscience support the basic agreement. Regardless of his negative feeling he will, assuming the majority of the Agency approves the development, do everything he can to see that it is an excellent one. Member Margett said in part that it is a difficult decision for him and he too was concerned that the selling price is less than the acquired price. He would rather not be in the land business, but that is the situation and continued that sooner or later the subject property will be developed and could be with commercial ventures with attendant noise factors over which the Councilor Agency would have very little to say. At this time it is possible to improve the property with a high calibre type of business - office hours and no week ends. He noted the existing blight condition of the property with its prior uses gone. He also felt that the revenue to be derived through increased assessed valuations and the sales tax will make the investment multiply itself many times. He would support this resolution. Mayor Saelid commented in part that he is in total sympathy with encouraging businesses such as Engineering-Science, Inc., to stay within the City. He felt however it is a mistake on the part of the Agency to enter into this kind of an Agreement wherein it accepts that to which many and most of the citizens object, the subsidizing of companies by selling them properties at less than that which was paid by the Agency. He could not support the agreement and felt it is setting a bad precedent. He supported Resolution No. 36 because the concept of an office building is superior to that of a restaurant or some other use for this site, but he could not support Resolution 37.

Mayor Saelid advised those in the audience who might be interested that this matter will be CONTINUED to JANUARY 9, 1978 (later changed) in order for the new Ci~ Manager to familiarize himself on this matter, however, inasmuch as there may be those in the audience who may desire to speak to this subject the hearing was declared open. Robert Honor, Chairman and President of HTL Industries, explained that his firm manufactures aircraft and industrial products and that the new site would be the corporate headquarters, He sub- mitted that this continuance to January 9 places his firm in an /''I''I1~ Ountenable position. They are on a tight schedule and must vacate v the present headquarters in Pasadena by February 22, He felt with the continuance it would be impossible to gain access to the property by that date (February 22). He has complied with all requests and has made an offer on price which he felt was acceptable to the City. F- I " , ,: During further deliberations it was the consensus of Council and Agency members that it would like to bring this firm into the City and in order to facilitate its decision this hearing could be continued to a date earlier than that first proposed. The Members also submitted their desire for more information concerning the sales revenue which could be derived from the company and Mr. Honor said he would endeavor to obtain whatever further data was required. Staff was also asked to submit complete..spread sheets on this proposal and on all other proposals for the property, i,e., 1)- A & K Financial for the purpose of constructing a 12 to 14 court Racquetball/ Health Club Facility, 2) Richard Chaput for the purpose of con- structing a 4,800 sq. ft. restaurant and 3) Robert Donaldson representing Messrs, Noren and McGoldrick for a 14 court Racquetball/ Health Club Facility, This to be received by the Members prior to the next meeting date, Mayor Saelid felt it a mistake not to await the arrival of the City Manager and to have his input, however if the Members move in this direction he would not stand in the way, Robert Donaldaon, representing Messrs, Noren and McGoldrick, said his clients are still interested in the property and they could provide any data required,.. They are interested in the entire triangle, He will be prepared with this information for the next meeting. 12-20-77 .5- , f' V ~ONDITlONAL USE PERMI T (Racquetball) APPROVED Time extens ion 22:9401 It was MOVED by Member Gilb, seconded by Member Lauber and carried unanimously that a study session on this entire matter be scheduled for 4 p.m. JANUARY 4, 1978.

The conditional use permit was originally approved by Resolution No. 974 on February 8, 1977. Revised plans were approved with conditions by the Planning Commission on December 13, 1977 and it was felt that these new plans will make the facility more attractive than the existing building and a better development for the site. It was MOVED by Member Gilb, seconded by Member Parry and carried unanimously that the time extension be approved based on the revised plans for construction of a new building. I AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION / ./ PROCEDURAL ORDINANCE WAIY' DANCE PERMIT MARQUEE WEST '"\ ~,.I)/~( I rJ'\ ~ (J( '~ \ ".I I Murray Seidner, owner of 653 Fairview Avenue, a parcel of property which is currently being considered by the City Council as part of a parking district, was interested in knowing what he would have to pay if this district were established. He said in part that he does have the property in escrow for another use but was favorable to a parking district as the area is in need of additional spaces. He was advised on the procedure and basis for assessing., that the district has not advanced to the point where exact figures are available. Bill Connelly, President of the Downtown Business Association, spoke concerning the working of community redevelopment versus private enterprise in the acquisition and sale of property. Some discussion also held on the possibility of HTL, Inc., locating in the City, which is favored by Mr, Connelly. In order to take an item on the agenda out of sequence the provisions of the Procedural Ordinance were WAIVED on MOT10N by Council Member Gilb, seconded by Council Member Lauber and carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Council Members Gilb, Lauber, Margett, Parry, Saelid None None Request of Paul Fry for a dance permit at 30 S, First Avenue to be called The Marquee West. The Business License Review Board approved the request subject to specific conditions set forth in the report dated December 16. Council also received a report from the Police Department concerning problems encountered on the previous Friday and Saturday nights. I Paul Fry, 512 S. Third Avenue, said in part that some problems had been encountered on Friday night due to the fact that all tickets had been sold and many came who could not get in which created a traffic problem in the neighborhood. He said he would welcome whatever the Police Department deemed necessary to control the traffic congestion. He felt everything inside the building went well without incident. He felt the dance permit is necessary so the youth may dance legally. Mr. Fry said he would be willing to do everything he possibly could to make it a success and would cooperate in every way. He told of obtaining other parking areas for the cars which could not park on the lot for the subject location. 12-20-77 - 6 - ..,,- ,',1.-" 22: 9402 David Robinson, 144 Alta Street, owner of an apartment complex, spoke at length in opposition to the event being held at this location and submitted in detail what transpired on both evenings. He said other persons in the community would have been at this meeting but were unable to do so. He told of the tremendous traffic problem and the noise emanating from cars in front of his apartment and debris left on the lawns of the residents and in parking lots of adjoining businesses. He also said he had not been notified of this dance and the Planning Director said that was because Mr. Robinson's address was not within the radius required for notification. I Adrian Towne 134 Alta Street, said as an 18 year old she would not attend the dances because of vandalism and other things which happened near her home. She confirmed what Mr. Robinson had said about the traffic. Bill Connelly, said it appeared that the problems were from the outside not from the inside which would be handled differently. John Tierney, 150 Alta, said most of his tenants are senior citizens and the area is a quiet residential one.. and submitted that four youths had been removed from his front yard after midnight. That he is all in favor of youth having a place to dance but it should not be in a residential area. Max Fields, commented in part that even with notification thpt the dance was to be permitted no one could anticipate the problems incurred. Mrs. Merrill, 134 Alta, told of her experience and did not think it should be in a residential area. Police Chief Mitchell reiterated some of the conditions encountered on the outside of the building including violations of road and driving laws, squealing of tires and the like, the adjoining lots were completely full and the gasoline station had to close early due to the congestion; problems with drinking in the cars and on the streets, noise and loud music. He felt the parking lot belonging to the Marquee West could take care of the patrons with security people and barricades. He said there were actually no problems inside which could not be handled by management. Suggestions were submitted which if followed could help. He also told of another type of operation which he would use on future dates, although he is already pushed for personnel due to the opening of the racing season and was not certain the situation can be controlled. I DiicUllion onluod Ind it Wli tha conienSUi of Council that perhapi dlncins will mlko I d1fferenca in tha crowd and that the permit ihould be issued at th!i time to make that possible; that it be tried for a couple of weekS following the holiday season with t~e Police Department task force and a report back to Council on January 17; that if the change from just music to dancing brought about a different patronage and things are controlled Council would consider continuation of the conditional use permit. If things do not correct themselves then consideration would be given to revoking the permit. Member Margett would like to see the experiment run a little longer. He was not really in favor of issuing the dance permit at this time.. he would like to see some relief for the residents before going on to bring in more people with the dance permit. It was then MOVED by Council Member Gilb, seconded by Council Member Lauber and carried on roll call vote as follows that a temporary dance permit be approved; that the matter come back to Council on January 17 with a full report; that the Police Chief do whatever is "necessary to protect the neighborhood. An interim report from the Police Chief will be submitted to Council on January 3.

The City Council on October 18 held a hearing on a preliminary report concerning the feasibility of creating a parking district between Baldwin and Fairview Avenues. A petition had been filed asking for consideration of the establishment of such a district, I Council asked that an appraisal be made of the subject property which has been reviewed by Council and the Director of Public Works .authorized to negotiate with the owners to develop a purchase agreement for the property at a specific price not to exceed $112,000. The report indicated an impasse and it appears that the only means available to the City for acquiring title to property at 653 Fairview (part of the proposed district) would be by implementation of eminent domain procedures.
