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 4-3-73 - 1 - HEARING STREET SETBACK LINES p', (APPROVED) 20:8252 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, ~. "I, //1) .L.(b) Development of land and/or strucrures to be used as neighborhood .....~ . . /.~'....... parks or recreation areas, (c) Maintenance of land and/or structures that are utilized as neighborhood parks or recreation areas. The Recreation Commission recommended approval with two deletions (See communication dared January 11, 1973) 0 HEARING (subdivision park fee) 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, 4-3-73 - 2 - ., .'. -';' 20:8253 more library facilities etc. 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. 4-3-73 - 3 - HEARING (Used Car Lot) APPROVED ;}:-/ i:::'; HEARING '(E I R) APPROVED SIDEWALKS PHASE VII APPROVED WITH CHANGES .1 / J-0:J A 20:8254 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. 4-3-73 - 4 - I I HEARING (EIR) EISENHOWER PARK APPROVED 3- I fC( t.) 20:8255 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, The City Manager explained the proposal for the expansion and displayed a photograph indicating the open area into which could be observed by passersby and/or the police. was taken from the bridge over the Flood Control Channel proposed for expansion was visible with the exception of which would be subsequently removed. He recommended the ~ park designe~ and that these points of concern be made of this park the park The piccure and the area two houses retention of known to him. -., 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 4-3-73 - 5 - TRACT NO. 31254 Final Map APPROVED .-- .:J- /3tJ::J TRACT NO. 30163 Final Map APPROVED :;}/(;-::I HEARING SCHEDULED (Zoning) V' SISTER CITY MEETING DATE V '.

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.

The City Attorney advised that the subdivider proposes to deposit with the Mutual Savings & Loan Association a $90,000 cash bond in the City's name as Trustee on the condition that the money will be used pursuant to the subdivider's agreement and asked for this to be a condition of the approval of the final map.

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.
