On MOTI.ON by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Arth and
carried unanimously the minutes of the regular meeting of March 20
were APPROVED.
Planning Commission recommendation concerning a proposed restaurant
at 59 W. Las Tunas Drive. The Planning Director explained that the
site is now vacant and is zoned C-O and C-2. Contiguous property to
the north is single family residential, that to the south is zoned
C-M and is developed with general commercial uses, that to the east
is zoned C-2 and developed with a shopping center, that to the west
is zoned c-o and is vacant. The site is irregular in shape with a
width of approximately 202 ft., an average depth of approximately
180 ft" total of about 35,911 sq, ft. Projectura1s were reviewed
indicating the restaurant would contain 4,511 sq. ft. providing
seating for 118 persons. Parking spaces were shown with a landscaped
perimeter as required. The main facility and 41 parking spaces would
be in the C-2 zone portion of the property and the remaining 16
parking spaces would be in the c-o portion.
Mayor Hage declared the hearing open and the applicant, Ted Fish,
426 S. Cambridge, Orange, presented two petitions signed by 23
property owners in favor of the restaurant, Pictures of the interior
were circulated. The hours would be from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m, with
deliveries to be made after 9 a.m, The lighting would not create a
glare for the adjacent residential area, The Regional Manager of the
jojos Restaurants, William Cravens, also participated in the discussion.
Homer Shirley, owner of the Superior Block Company, located directly
across the street from the proposed restaurant) spoke in favor of the
project and felt it would enhance the area. No one else desiring to be
heard the heacing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Butterworth,
seconded by Councilman Scott and carried unanimously.
Councilman Butterworth stated in part that notices were sent out by the
Planning Commission for the hearing before that body. No one appeared
in opposition at that time and the Commission voted to grant the permit.
Following the same procedure the Council held a hearing at which no

citizen lodged opposition. In addition,on his own,the applicant made
a canvas of the neighborhood So there is no point in protecting non-
existent homeowners from non-existent evils. He felt the restaurant
would improve the area and noted the restrictions which have been
imposed with which the applicant agrees to comply and noted that it is
the policy of Council to uphold the Commission unless it is felt the
Commission acted in an arbitrary or capricious manner which is not the
case in this instance. Whereupon he MOVED to sustain the Planning
Commission and grant the conditional use permit pursuant to Resolution
No. 805. Motion seconded by Councilman Scott and carried unanimously.
Planning Commission recommendacion concerning proposed amendments to
the Municipal Code relating to street setback lines as set forth in its I
Resolution No. 806. The Planning Director explained in detail the
sections to be amended and to which streets they apply. It was felt
this would lead ro uniformity of setbacks. Mayor Hage declared the
hearing open and no one desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on
MOTiON by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Arth and carried
unanimously. It was further MOVED by Councilman Scott, seconded by
Councilman Arth and carried unanimously that the recommendation be
approved and that the City Attorney be and he is hereby directed to
prepare the appropriate ordinance.
Planning Commission recommendation for denial of a residential sub-
division development tax and land dedication ordinance (Res. No. 799).
If adopted the funds collected under this ordinance would be used
exclusively for (a) Purchase of land or interest in land to be desig-
n nated as and developed as a neighborhood park or recreation area,

that are utilized as neighborhood parks or recreation areas. The
Recreation Commission recommended approval with two deletions (See

HEARING

J-:
The Planning Director explained that the Department felt there is need
for recreational space on the neighborhood and community level particu-
larly in the high density residential areas. He submitted in part
that there are two separate recommendations: (1) to require developers
of residential property to dedicate a portion of the proposed site to
the local governing agency for the purpose of park and recreational uses
and (2) a so-called bedroom tax which would be a flat fee usually
required at the time a building permit is issued. The recommended fees
were explored.
Mayor Hage declared the hearing open and Gordon Maddock, representing
the Arcadia Board of Realtors as Chairman of the Planning, Zoning and
Civic Affairs' Committee, stated in part that the development of a park
fee system is extremely desirable but he did not agree with the proposed
form of taxation. He said he does not have an alternate solution at
this time but the committee is looking into the matter. He felt it
would be an added cost to the buyer of a home and that it was discrimi-
natory due to variables in the fees. He noted other cities have con-
sidered the fee but did not adopt rhe amount of fee being considered
by Council at this time. He asked Council to uphold the recommendation
of the Planning Commission and table the proposal pending further study.
I
Councilman Butterworth submitted that the existing residents have been
taxed for parks and public facilities such as police, fire and the like-
paying for these out of their taxes and their predecessors paid for part
when they bought their home. Now consider the new residents coming into
the community which has already been bought and paid for by people who
already live here - with the newcomers there is need for more parks,

able for the newcomers to be
or should the cost caused by
entire population.
He asked if Mr. Maddock felt it unreason-
required to pick up a portion of the cost
the new people be spread out over the
Mr. Maddock responded in part that the whole population would be using
the parks not just the new people and questioned whether the anticipated
revenue would really be sufficient. Councilman Butterworth stated
further in part that if the new people didn't come the new facilities
would not be needed and they cost money. He observed that the League
of California Cities strongly recommends such an ordinance.
I
Councilman Scott stated in part that he could really see no particular
difference between a person who decided to build a home and a person
who decides to buy a home which has been built for some 20 years..they
are both new to the community..neither has paid anything and he
questioned if there would be more justification and more fairness if
there were some kind of, for instance, an escrow tax. It was explained
that at one time the City did have a transfer tax which was opposed by
the realtors of the City.
Councilman Arth observed in part that new homes cause the pressures...
if there were just a homeowner turnover without the new units there
wouldn't be any need for the added facilities.
Bernard Butler, 2421 Louise Avenue, stated in part that when a new
home is built a new tax base is created for the City.,. the new
homeowner also becomes a source of sales tax revenue as he does his
shopping in the City and that this makes up for whatever burden or
expense he may cause the residents already in the City; that as a
community grows and prospers all residents benefit, He would not
want Council to take the position that all is well the way it is and
discourage new developments, however, he was opposed to the idea of
taxing a small number of people for things which a large number are
going to reap the benefit.
Paul Friedman, 350 W. Wistaria, noted various parks already in the
City and those scheduled to be constructed which he felt would be
sufficient. He spoke to the cost of a park and felt that vest-pocket
parks may not be the best use of the land for the time and effort
spent in developing them, As a builder he submitted that it may become
prohibitive to build new homes because a purchaser will not be able to
afford a new home with added taxation.
HEARING
CLOSED
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Arth and carried unanimously.
I
Councilman Scott stated in part that the City is fortunate to have one
source of revenue that most Cities do not - that of the funds from the
race track admission tax which is placed in the Capital Project Fund.
He felt if there is any merit at all to the proposal it warrants a lot
more study; that some alternatives are needed; that if such a tax is
to be levied it should apply to all new property construction not just
residential construction.
Councilman Butterworth stated in part that if he were a realtor he
would probably take the same position as that of the local realtors;
that of course they are not going to be in favor of this ordinance
and he can understand that, but one of the most difficult subjects
for Council to undertake is equity in public finance. That the whole
point of this particular tax is equity and is the basis for the League
of California Cities' support. He would be in favor of the tax and
should it become necessary to extend it to include new commercial con-
struction he would not mind although it pertains basically to new
residents.

Councilman Arth felt there is some logic to limiting the parks, however,
it is coming to the point where there is need for planned city parks -
that the ordinance has merit and should be considered through addi-
tional study of the fees, etc.
Councilman Scott commented further that he has learned in dealing with
income from taxes that a bed7~~~ is one that is raised for a specific
purpose because the function is dependent upon the tax and that function
just may fall by the wayside because of a lack of income for the specific
purpose. He hoped the tax would not go into effect but if it does he
would prefer that the monies therefrom would go into the General Fund
and not be earmarked for any specific purpose. Parks should be
supported as the need arises the same as other needs are met.
I
Mayor Hage summarized the thinking thus far and stated in part that it
is obvious that the City has passed its greatest growth period and
expressed concern with the proposed fee schedules. He felt the value
of a house has nothing to do with the need for a park and spoke of
those instances where a house is constructed in an area where there
isn't space for a park and the residents in the area would not have the
benefit of a park to which they had contributed via this proposed bedroom
tax. He agreed with Councilman Scott and questioned whether or not it
is truly an equitable tax.
Due to the split position of Council the matter was held over until the
next regular meeting of April 17.
Application of Leonard Saladino, 148 N. Normandie, Los Angeles, for a
business license to permit the operation of a used car sales lot at
154 E. Huntington Drive. The City Manager explained that the subject
site has been used for this type of business for some years and
recommended approval. Mayor Hage declared the hearing open and Kermit
Hartzler, owner of the subject property, stated in part that the
executive committee of the Downtown Arcadia Business Association had
unanimously agreed that the proposed use is good and proper for the
location; that the adjacent property owners have no objection. No one
else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Arth, seconded by Councilman Butterworth and carried unani-
mously. It was further MOVED by Councilman Arth, seconded by
Councilman Butterworth and carried unanimously that a business permit be
issued the applicant.
Council received and considered the Environmental Impact Report as it
relates to sidewalk construction (Phase VII). Mayor Hage declared the
hearing open and no one desiring to be heard on the Report the hearing
was closed on MOTION by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman
Scott and carried unanimously that the Report be APPROVED and ADOPTED,
Discussion then ensued on the sidewalk construction. Ira Wallstrom, I
21 E. Camino Real, spoke on behalf of the residents on the north side
of Camino Real between Santa Anita and First Avenue and referred to a
communication signed by property owners requesting the sidewalks be
constructed curbside instead of property line as planned. It was felt
that it is more desirable to have a uniformly straight finished sidewalk
which would enhance the appearance of the street; that although trees
would have to be removed for this type of installation the homeowners
feel the trees are a liability rather than an asset. He noted that
curbside construction would correspond to the continuation of the
existing curbside sidewalks between Santa Anita and El Monte.
Jean Quintana, 35 E. Camino Real, also favored construction at the
curbline; that otherwise it would mean the removal of all or part of a
hedge running straight across her property.

June Wilson, 1531 S. First Avenue, lodged opposition to the sidewalks
and noted problems encountered now in maintaining the parkway in front
of her property, She felt if sidewalks must be constructed they should
be curbside.
, -
Jean Hollingworth and Judy Christenson, 603 Flamingo and 600 Beverly
respectively, preferred curbside sidewalks - that if they were constructed
at the property line the sidewalks would come within eleven feet of their
bedrooms and kitchens,
During the deliberations and in response to an inquiry the Director of
Public Works stated in part that the construction of sidewalks on Sixth
Avenue is in the interest of completing the street from Live Oak all
the way north to just south of Duarte Road, That the existing sidewalks
on Sixth are uniformly constructed adjacent to the property line in the
interest of preserving parkway treeSG He again recommended that the
section between Longden and Live Oak be improved with sidewalks at the
property line as it would not result in the loss of any trees.
Discussion continued on the other areas to be so improved and it was
the consensus that the project proceed as set forth in the following
motion. It was MOVED by Councilman Arth, seconded by Councilman Scott
and carried unanimously that the plans and specifications as
submitted by the Director'of Public Works be APPROVED with the ex-
ception that sidewalks on the"nortn side of Camino Real be placed at
curbside and that those proposed for .Sixth Avenue be'hel9 UP pending
further investigation; that the City Clerk be AUTHORIZED to advertise
for bids with the stipulation thar if there are any true problem areas
from the standpoint of trees that staff may recommend to Council
circumventing the trees in those instancesG
During this discussion Council concurred in Councilman Scottls obser-
vation that a report from staff would be meaningful pertaining to
future sidewalk needs,

Although the he~ring was closed at the March 20 meeting Mayor Hage asked
if anyone desired to make further remarks. Ronald Rook, 143 E. Newman
Avenue, agreed that from the photograph all activities could be observed
during the daytime but that at night there was no possible way to see
into the proposed area. He noted there are five houses on Newman and
asked that it not be opened up so patrons of the park could walk through
Newman to the park. He cited an incident of a child being hurt and asked
Council to do all in its power to protect the homeowners and not open up
the back area to unknown persons. He agreed with the suggestion that an
effective gate could provide some relief. In conclusion he asked
Council not to open up Newman Avenue so it could become a parking area
for persons going to and from the park.
Louis Shipsee, 136 E. Newman Avenue, lodged his opposition to the
expansion and stated in part that his property backs right up to the
area. He explored the history of the matter during the past 11 months
and referred to a plan which calls for picnic tables in the expanded
area. He said the neighbors do not want the park nor does he and had
sought ways to stop the proposal but realized the land is zoned R-l and
may be developed into a park. He also referred to the cost of develop-
ing such a park. He felt the photograph does not show the back of the
area where activities would not come uqder surveillance" He reviewed
the various positions of the Planning Commissioners and felt they had

reservations. He concluded by stating in part that the existing park
is all that is needed for the area and asked Council to protect the
residents there now"
During the ensuing discussion it was brought out that the expanded part
would not contain any play equipment -- ball diamonds, etc. The
Recreation Director answered questions propounded by Council and
indicated that when it is dark the park is not used as there are no
lights except when dog obedience classes are held. Council favored
protection to the residents on Newman and the construction of a gate
which can be securely locked.
It was then MOVED by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman I
Arth and car tied on roll call vote as follows that staff be AUTHORIZED
to proceed with the purchase of 151 E. Colorado Boulevard for this
expanded park; that there be no access to the park from Newman Avenue
which is not to be opened up; that a gate be installed which can be
securely locked. The park is to be designed as an adult area for more
quiet use of the park without play equipment for youth activities.

Council received the staff report on the proposed addition to the
police building as submitted by Police Chief Seares. The report is
dated March 29 and is on file. The City Manager recommended that
Council indicate its policy decision and return the matter to the task
force. Finalization could then take place about space needs, re-
lationship to communications and the like. Reference was made to the
election when thffi building was voted down and the need was expressed
for citizen input prior to the time an architect is retained. It was
brought out that there is no plan at present to provide space in the
new building for Fire Department Administrative Personnel. Nor is
there a plan to centralize the various departments' communication
system. Should that become necessary it could always be implemented.
It was felt that plans should be made for the next twenty years.
Council concurred that the matter should now be undertaken by the task
force to come back to Council with a final recommendation after which
citizens would be asked for their thinking - either through a newsletter
or by some other method. Staff will proceed with the direction
expressed by Council.
Election expenses (special November 7, 1972). It was noted by staff
that the current fiscal budget did not provide for any election expense
