(See Transcript) I The entire proceeding on this matter has been fully transcribed and appears in transcript form on file in the office of the City Clerk and made a part hereof by reference as though set forth in length. ACTION on this particular matter: Councilman Scott MOVED that Baldwin Avenue be widened from Huntington Drive on the south to the 'intersection of the improvements adjacent to the Freeway on the north as proposed in the Baldwin Avenue Improvement Project included in the Environmental Impact Report dated March 2, 1973 and compiled by the Director of Public Works; that staff be ~uthorized to proceed with the preparation of the plans and specifications - with an amendment that the sidewalk as recommended for the east portion of the improvement be omitted from the northern boundary of the Fashion Park project. Motion seconded by Councilman Butterworth and carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Butterworth, Helms, Scott, Hage Counci lman Arth None Councilman Butterworth then MOVED that staff be instructed to undertake forthwith a study and investigation of the Colorado Oaks area and submit to Council - not more than 60 days hence - its studies for Council review and analysis. Motion seconded by Councilman Helms and carried unani- mously. Discussion held on the proposed agreement dated March 16, 1973 between Santa Anita and the City and in response to a question by Councilman Butterworth the Attorney for Santa Anita stated they would be willing to agree that the contract would be binding upon successors and assigns of Santa Anita. Following the lengthy deliberation as set forth in the transcript it was MOVED by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Scott and carried on roll call vote as follows that the proposed contract of March 16, 1973, submitted by Santa Anita, be accepted with the provision that there be added to the agreement a covenant that this shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Santa Anita Consolidated, Inc., that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the agreement on behalf of the City and that a grading permit for the parking lot be authorized providing the appli- cation of Santa Anita otherwise meets the requirements of laws per- taining thereto. 1 AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Butterworth, Helms, Scott, Hage Councilman Arth None Time and place scheduled for the public hearing on the proposed 5 year Capital Program. It was noted that the program has been considered by the Planning Commission and the Council. ,Mayor Hage declared the hearing open. 3-20-73 - 2 - " , " ., \.. "', 20: 8241, Herbert Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, referred to funds earmarked for the Community Redevelopment Land assembly - $45,000, and questioned the expenditure. The City Manager explained that the Agency has been formed and is in existence - the proposal is that the initial funds might be loaned to the Agency by the City at 7 percent interest in return to the City. Mr. Fletcher then referred to an approximate amount of money - $217,000 - for widening Foothill Boulevard between Santa , Anita and Baldwin. He also que~tioned the need for the proposed 1_ '(' ,.!I' it f alignment of the corner of Baldwin and Camino Real. The City Manager (jf, J'V explained that it has been the repeated desire of Council that major ,) ~streets within the City traversing residential areas be provided with .\ -I,: ~( f', a landscape median for an appearance sake. He noted the speed on V Foothill which it is hoped would' ,be reduced with the improvement. Reasons are for safety and appearance. As far as the alignment is concerned it may be that this'will not be necessary now that signals have been installed at that corner of Camino Real and Baldwin. But it was planned prior to that installation due to the hazardous jog in the street. Mr. Fletcher also felt that there are too many traffic signals at the present time and suggested a trial period without the lights. Council expressed appreciation to Mr. Fletcher for his remarks and interest in the program. 1 MOTION HEARING (Alley vacation) (J: ,'Ijb''( ......- RESOLUTION NO. 4322 ADOPTED HEARING (Park 1.;;;~1 Councilman Scott MOVED to close the hearing, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried unanimously. It was then MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman Arth and carried on roll call vote as follows that the 5-year Capital Program be ADOPTED. AYES: Councilmen Arth, Butterworth, Helms, Scott, Hage NOES:None ABSENT: None Time and place scheduled for a public hearing on the intention of the City to vacate an alley between Huntington Drive and Fairview Avenue and bounded on the east and west by Holly and Baldwin Avenues. Mayor Hage declared the hearing open and no one desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman Butterworth and carried unanimously. Whereupon the City Attorney presented, explained the content and read the title of Resolution No. 4322 erititled: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA ORDERING THE VACATION OF AN ALLEY BETWEEN HUNTINGTON DRIVE AND FAIRVIEW AVENUE AND BOUNDED ON THE EAST AND WEST BY HOLLY AVENUE AND BALDWIN AVENUE." It was MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman Butterworth and carried on roll call vote as follows that the reading of the full body of the resolution be WAIVED and that the same be ADOPTED. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Arth, Butterworth, Helms, Scott, Hage None None Council received a draft of an Environmental Impact Report concerning the proposed expansion of Eisenhower Par~. It was noted that the Report includes the input brought out at the Planning Commission level and the comments of the residents. However, the Report is before Council without recommendation. Mayor Hage declared the hearing open. Ronald Rook, 143 E. Newman Avenue, asked if the Police Department had been consulted about the expansion of the park. The City Manager 'advised that it had and explained that it indicated there is no evidence that would substantiate the claim that vand~lism and burglary incidents would increase in the neighborhood; there would be no additional problems as to surveillance. Mr. Rook felt'the expansion would create a pocket which would border up against the back of some of the homes on Newman and could, not accept the police report as 3-20-73 - 3 - (CONTINUED TO APRIL 3) HEARING (SIDEWALKS - PHASE VII) .J- I d0r.;1 A 20:8242 accurate. He submitted that lighting would be necessary from about 9 p.m., until 6 a.m. and felt the City would not approve that and the neighbors would not like it either. He spoke to the access to the park... Newman is now a cul-de-sac and would have to be opened up. He referred to a report put out by the Southern California Association of Governments and asked Council to delay the matter for further study. Fay Barry, 144 E. Newman Avenue, stated in part that there had been quite a lot of pilfering in the neighborhood and told of instances where strangers had invaded a pool in one of the back yards on the street. She noted noise emanating from motorcycles, etc. She felt that with the park expansion more areas would be opened up for burglary. She was against the opening up of Newman Avenue to the park. I' Louis Shipshee, 136 E. Newman Avenue, concurred with what has been said and submitted that the E.I.R. makes no provision for parking in the expanded area; that the access entrance on Newman would turn the cul-de-sac into a parking lot for the visitors to the Park. He took exception to the police report and stated in part that at the present time two sides of the park are open to public exposure and police surveillance and noted the natural sound barriers from activities in the park both during the day and at night, but felt the proposed expansion would lead to burglary incidents. He also asked that the matter not be decided at this meeting and that Council receive public input. Mayor Hage advised that an approval of the E.I.R. does not mean that Council has approved the park at all. Councilman Helms commented in part that it has been his experience in the development of neighborhood parks that there have been no incidents relative to increase in crime in an area as a result of a park.' He compared the proposed development with residences which back up to a public school playground which have more hidden places than would be possible in the subject instance. That he can understand the concern but perhaps it is misplaced. Councilman Scott submitted the possibility of the construction of a block wall and felt more time should be taken in order for the residents to have input for the E.I.R. Mr. Shipsee stated further in part that in his opinion the matter has ilot..been fully investigated and he would like Council and the Police Department to read the statistics in the crime report referred to earlier. In response to a question the Planning Director stated in part that the Department has a copy of the report referred to by Mr. Shipsee, but felt the police can make a better assessment of local problems than a regional body. No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Butterworth and carried unanimously. It was the consensus of Council that it appears further investigation is in order and the matter was carried over to the next regular meeting. Council received a report on the proposed sidewalk program which 1 indicates the streets proposed for improvement. Plans and specification were also submitted by staff. It was noted that the environmental impact report covers the number of trees to be lost adjacent to the curb or adjacent to the property line. The E.I.R. requires approval prior to the next step in the program. Mayor Hage declared the hearing open and Hugh Williams, 2230 S. Sixth Avenue, submitted that in his opinion many aspects have not been taken into consideration by staff and asked if the program is necessary. He felt further study should be made with relation to the aesthetics and 3-20-73 - 4 - l."dO' Closed) (Continued to April 3) HEARING (General Plan and Zoning) p::?r .WV~ 1 ^ . .<:.....,.....}. - 'l.t'~ "l~" ..... . " 20:8243 the environment and that the residents should have an opportunity to review the environmental impact report. He agreed that the health and welfare of the children must be protected, however, the rural atmosphere of the City is rapidly changing. He would like to see a copy of the E. loR. Michael Schmidt, 2801 Longley Way, opposed the construction of sidewalks on Longley Way. In response to an inquiry by Mr. Schmidt the Director of Public Works stated in part that the sidewalks in that particular area were requested by the School District. Other locations have been determined and recommended by staff. Mr. Schmidt explored the pe- destrian pattern followed by the children attending Longley Way School and felt the sidewalk construction would necessitate a crossing guard. He felt the pedestrian movement is not sufficient to warrant sidewalks and he liked the rural atmosphere of the area. He said he is in favor of sidewalks where needed but not otherwise. No one else desiring to be heard thehearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried unanimous ly. Councilman Helms observed that there is merit to what Mr. Schmidt has submitted and unless staff has information which would indicate differ- ently he would be inclined to delete Longley Way for the present at least or until the next sidewalk Program phase if it could be justified by the School District and the Public Works Department. He thought more time was needed for the residents to study the E.I.R. Councilman Arth agreed and felt the city is seeking main arteries where there are numbers of children and much traffic. He would delete Longley Way unless there are some overriding reasons. Councilman Scott had reservations about the deletion; that perhaps staff could prepare a report on the traffic generated in the area~ Also how many children walk on the street during the early hours, and time permitted for the E.I.R. to be reviewed by the residents. Further discussion ensued and it was the consensus that the matter be continued until the next regular meeting (April 3). Planning Commission recommendation (Resolution No. 803) concerning certain zone changes and changes in the General Plan relative to property on Naomi and Camino Real west of Baldwin and on Baldwin between Camino Real and Callita. Property described as Area 1, commonly known as 9808-9834 Naomi and 756-818 Naomi, and 6732 - 6756 Golden West Avenue, be reclassified from Zone C-l and C-2 to R-3.

Mayor Hage declared the hearing open and Henry Hege, 550 W. Duarte Road, asked that the one lot on Camino Real to the rear of the commercial on Baldwin Avenue be zoned CoO and submitted that an escrow company intends to move into that area. He then referred to property on Naomi facing the commercial improvements and felt it would not lend itself to residential develop~ent. Phil Davenport, 225 W. Norman Avenue, representing the owner at 807-809 W. Camino Real asked if that property was included in the recommendation for rezoning. He was informed that it was not. Mr. Davenport then submitted a request that those properties be included in the proposed R-3 zone. That it would be an island unto itself with R-2 zoning - J difficult to sell for its best use. He was advised to initiate his request through the Planning Commission. Dennis Neff, representing the owner of 756 W. Naomi (next to the Shoppin Bag-Sav On Drug complex). He explored the many endeavors to develop that property with commercial - to no avail. He felt R-3 zoning would be the best way to merchandise the property. He had discussed the matter with condominium developers and interest was shown. Mr. Leslie Bloom, owner of property at 6756 Golden West and 9808 Naomi - opposite the Pantry Shopping Center - referred the four way stop sign on the corner of the two streets (Golden West and Naomi) and the problem of keeping tenants due to the heavy traffic and noise. He felt the subject property would not lend itself to condominium de- velopment - the lots are too shallow - but could be developed with commercial. He was opposed to R-3. John Knisley, 9812, 9814 and 9816 Naomi, noted the small lots and agreed with Mr. Bloo~,about the development - that it could not be improved for R-3 use - what with the noise from the shopping center, .. the lights from the parking lot, apartments could not be rented. He felt the property in the subject area could be packaged together for a commercial improvement but not R-3. He indicated he had purchased the property about two years ago primarily for a future commercial improvement. No one else desiring to speak the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman Butterworth and carried unanimously. Extensive discussion ensued on the individual areas as recommended. It was the consensus that the property referred to as "Area 1" should be reviewed again. Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried unanimously that the recommendation of the Planning Commission as set forth in its Resolution No. 803 be APPROVED, with the EXCE?TION of Area 1 and the lot at 711 Camino Real (to b'e C"O),; that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare' the -- -. appropriate ordinance for submission to Council on April 3.

Mayor Hage declared the hearing open and Dennis Neff, 665 W. Naomi Avenue, was advised concerning the procedure in seeking a conditional use permit. He explained that apparently all endeavors to develop the property for commercial uses has been exhausted; that it would be a more reasonable zoning at R-3. Henry Hege, 550 W. Duarte'Road, .reminded Council of the proposed improvement of certain property on Naomi west'of Lovell Avenue. It is in PR-l at the present time and is to be so developed; that final drawings for the new office building on Duarte are about completed. Mary Leupold, owner of property located at 662 W. Naomi Avenue, told of the many endeavors made to interest commercial developers - that they say their only interest would be an R-3 development - condominium type of improvement. She favored the R-3 zoning, and submitted that ~ith the proposed Fashion Park development interest in commercial development in West Arcadia has waned. No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Arth and carried unani- mously. Discussion ensued with the Planning Director stating in part that with the requested rezoning the City could find itself with an isolated apartment development but it would be across the street from the same type of improvement and that there are other areas in the City with the same situations. It was the consensus of Council that the requests of the property owners appear reasonable and it was MOVED by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried unanimously that the recom- mendation of the Planning Commission be APPROVED with the exception of the north side of Naomi Avenue - that same be zoned for high density development similar to that on the south side of the street. (This does not include the so-called Holman property on Naomi west of Lovell Avenue.) The City Attorney was instructed to prepare the appropriate ordinance.
