On April 17 Council received a petition from some of the 20 property
owners on Longley Way between El Monte and Woodruff Avenues requesting
the installation of street lights. The City Clerk read a communication
from Donald Nordvold, 230 W, Longley Way, indicating reasons for the
request - in part that streetlights would reduce vandalism and robbery
in the area, Some incidents were explored. Mayor Arth declared the
hearing open and the following persons spoke.
In favor: Kenneth W. Myles, 260 Longley Way, concurred with Mr,
Nordvold's communication as to the need for the lights.
In opposition: Harry Chatfield, 225 Longley Way, felt the lights were
not needed; that most robberies occur in the daytime; that lights
would not lend to the aesthetics'of the appearance of the street and
that electricity is one more source of air pollution, He felt the

cost, however small, would be just another high cost of living which
is not needed,
Mrs. Shirley Corley, 239 Longley Way, opposing the street lights,
presented four letters from property owners, two of whom had previously
signed the petition in favor of the lights. She felt there had been
some misunderstanding at the time the petition was circulated and
expressed opposition to the lighting, . She felt the vandalism which
had occurred'was not because the street did not have lighting. She did
not want lights in front of her home.
Ralph Heimdahl, 218,Longley Way" stated he was against the proposed
project, however if the majority of the property owners wanted the
lights he would go along, He felt a lighted street adds to the speed
of the traffic and felt robberies can occur at any time of day or
night. . In response to a question he said the existing trees could
shade the lights from the home depending on the location,
1
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Scott, seconded by. Councilman Hage and carried unanimously.
Councilman Scott stated in part that the street has not had lights
and felt perhaps Council should solicit during the next two weeks
more input from the residents in the area. Councilman Butterworth
felt that with 13 out of the 20 property owners desiring the lighting
he would be inclined to support the petition and referred to the
position of the police that lights deter robberies. However if there
has been misrepresentation' which induced the residents to sign
that would be another matter. Councilman Scott stated further in part
that he is in favor of street lights; that in his opinion there are
too many streets now without lights; he just felt that everyone in the
area should have an opportunity to be heard and he would support the
lights if a majority wanted them.
Discussion ensued and the. City Attorney advised that there would be
another opportunity to hear from the residents at the public hearing
held during the formal proceedings. Whereupon it was MOVED by
Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Scott and carried on
roll call vote as follows that the Director of Public Works be
instructed to take the necessary steps with the understanding that if
the opponents at a subsequent time can demonstrate that this is not
the will of the majority of the residents Council would at that time
rescind its position taken this evening.

Planning Commission recommendation relative to rezoning property at
610-670 and 625-671 'W. Naomi and the rear of 623-661 W, Camino Real 1
(Resolution No. 812). The Commission recommends that the Naomi
property be rezoned from R-l to R-3 and that the Camino Real properties
remain R-l, It was submitted in said resolution that the changes on
Naomi are consistent with the General Plan and are justified by the
public convenience, necessity and general welfare, however, any change
on the rear of the Camino Real properties would create certain
undesirable results,
. The Planning Director exhibited and explained the existing surrounding
zoning of these properties. The north side of Naomi west of Baldwin
is R-l and R-2 adjacent to the commercial on Baldwin and the recom-
mendation is to change this to R-3. The south side to be changed to
R-3, however, the rear of the Camino properties should remain R-l,
He explored the background of the application for the zone change to
construct a condomini~m on the south side of Naomi Avenue which is

recommended for approval subject to specified conditions, He noted one
condition is for a 12 ft, dedication along Naomi Avenue. Also that
there had been two public hearings held by the Commission and that staff
will provide Council with material relative to the need for the 12 ft.
dedication,
1
Referring to the rear of the lots facing Camino Real he stated further
in part that the Commission did not feel this would be best in the long
run; that it would result in double zoning, that is, the rear portions
in R-3 with the front in R-l ... and the Code does not permit crossing
over R-l to R-3 property. In exploring the north side of Naomi he
indicated the area zoned for parking to be used in connection with a
medical building.
Mayor Arth declared the hearing open and Henry Hege, 550 W, Duarte
Road, representing the Richmark Development Company, spoke at length
concerning the subject application which was originally filed in
November 1972. He explored the three hearings which had been held
before the Planning Commission, and the initial plan to develop the
rear of the properties on Camino Real as part of the Naomi development;
that this plan would leave 200 ft, depth on the three Camino Real
properties, He said the property owners at that location did not
object to this depth remaining. He continued that since 1960 the
area had been a problem one to rezone and/or to develop; that the
present proposal is in his opinion one that will enhance the area.
Reference was made to the City Water Department property in the subject
area and the desire on the part of that department to acquire additional
property south of the water plant on the alley between Naomi and Camino
Real east of Baldwin for a .new chlorination unit - that Richmark
Company had agreed to sell to the city that portion if the application
is approved and it acquires title to that parcel.
.
Mr, Hege continued in part that the present lots on Camino Real are
much deeper than normally desired for R-l property - 100' x 348' and
115,83' x 348' - that under the proposal the property would be put to
its best use and would at the same time assure the continuance of
single family residential on Camino Real, That if Council does not
approve the use of the rear lots on Camino Real Richmark has options
to purchase 6 contiguous lots on Naomi on which they propose to con-
struct condominiums; that this would thus prevent access to the portions
of the subject rear lots on Camino Real for subsequent development. He
concluded in part that if Council does not approve the use of the rear
lots he would request that the 12 ft, dedication on the south side of
Naomi be eliminated from the conditions.
1
In response to a question the Planning Director presented alternatives
for the development of the land on Camino Real, cul de sacS
could come from two different directions for instance. He did submit
that in his opinion if it had not been for the irregular line at the
southern portion of t~e proposed development the Commission probably
would have ,approved the first application. That a straight property
line was preferable,
Richard Vortees, representing Richmark Development Company, also
explored the background of the subject matter and submitted that they
had worked closely with the city and the property owners. He agreed
that a jagged rear property line is not desirable if there is any way
to prevent it. He explained the many endeavors "made to acquire the
rear properties - however, the options have now expired and he would
have to renegotiate if Council approved the jagged line. He asked
for reconsideration of the rear property lines, which in his opinion
from the standpoint of the good of the neighborhood and proper planning,
would be the worthiest thing,
Russell Gjerset, 625 Camino Real, spoke in opposition to the rear of
the properties on Camino Real being rezoned R-3 with the front remaining
R-l; that the owners of 625, 631, 637 and 639 did not want to look at
a two story apartment building from their backyards,
5-15-73
- 3 -
20:8291
William Fasioli, 1524 Palos Verdes Drive, Palos Verdes Estates, owner
of 639 Camino Real, concurred with Mr. Gjerset-that if any rezoning is
done it should be all the way down to Camino Real,
John Dinielli, 631 Camino Real, submitted that originally he had given
an option to Richmark to purchase the rear of his property; that he
has now changed his mind, He would like to see the properties all
rezoned to R-3,
.-.'--'~
George W. Schenck, 661 Camino Real, spoke in favor of the rezoning;
that the lots are too deep for R-l; no one wants a residential parcel'
that large.
Nicholas Battjes, owner of 671 Naomi (north side) and first house next
to the commercial on Baldwin, spoke in favor of the proposal for the
south side of Naomi however he felt the north side should be reevalu-
ated and protected for future development into commercial or parking",
that Baldwin Avenue should be protected in the event a developer
desires to construct, new buildings or stores and he would need
parking, He concluded by asking Council to reconsider the zoning for
the north side of Naomi from 625 to 671 and that it remain in its
present classification.
1
Bill Maddard, 626 Camino Real, was opposed to the proposal and felt
there should be a straight line across the rear of the lots on Naomi;
that problems would be encountered when an owner decides to sell
should his property be in two different zoning classifications. He
asked that the recommendation of the Commission be sustained.
.
Ed Sully, 4410 Lyman Street, Covina, speaking on behalf of the
property at 639 Camino Real in which he has an interest, stated in
part that he agreed with Mr. Maddard and suggested if the properties
are rezoned R-3 that it encompass the entire area to the front of
Camino Real.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried unani-
mously.
Councilman Helms stated in part that the Commission was unanimous in
its recommendation that the boundary line be drawn at the rear lot
lines of Naomi on the south side, and that in his opinion the property
owners on Camino Real do have a point in the problem of future devel-
opment of their property should a portion be placed in a separate zone.
He concurred in the Commission's findings. Referring to the north
side of Naomi he felt Mr. Battjes' suggestion has merit; that the
zoning of that property to R-3 would inhibit the future development of
Baldwin Avenue and th~t in his opinion he would prefer to see the north
side remain under its present zoning. He recognized that the area has
been zoned commercial for some time without any apparent change and
that the property owners have asked for a change back to R-3, however,
from an overall planning standpoint he questioned the ~esirability of
that" at least as far as the first two or three lots east of Baldwin
are concerned.
1
Councilman Scott stated in part that he could not see the major
objection to extending the rear lines of the properties on the south
side of Naomi., the owners of the properties in question on Camino
Real apparently desire to reduce their holdings, He could not see
where this would have any adverse affect on the remaining properties
on Camino Real, The owners would be in a position to develop as they
wished... cui de sac or whatever. He concurred in Councilman Helms'
observations concerning the north side of Naomi Avenue; that the area
just would not lend itself to R-3 development, and that some of the
lots in the middle of the block probably would develop better into
parking.

Councilman Rage agreed with the Commission's recommendation that the
rear lot lines of properties on Naomi be the boundary. He inquired of
the City Attorney as to procedure for permitting the land on the north
side of Naomi to remain commercial, He was informed that particular
area could be deleted from the ordinance, Councilman Hage observed
that he would like to make a further study on that portion, leaving it
in its present status at this time.
Councilman Butterworth supported the position of Councilman Helms. Mayor
Arth also concurred and submitted that in his opinion it would not be
proper to rezone a portion of the properties preventing the owner from
developing all of his property which rightfully should be under the
same zone.
Councilman Scott commented further that he agreed except it did not
seem illogical to him to accede to the desires of the three property
owners who wanted to rezone the back half of their land.
Councilman Helms then MOVED to sustain the recommendation of the
Planning Commission (Res. No. 8l2),with the DELETION of the portion of
the subject area on the north side of Naomi Avenue, Motion seconded
by Councilman Butterworth. During the discussion on the 12 ft.
dedication referred to by Mr. Hege the Planning Director explained
that originally this was a condition but due to an oversight it was
not included in the subsequent resolution; that staff will submit
material to Council to assist it in making its determination concerning
whether or not the 12 ft, dedication should be required. (NOTE: an
ordinance is to be prepared for Council consideration.)
Roll call was then taken on the motion.

Mr. Hege will be notified of any future meetings on this matter and
also as to the contents of the ordinance.
. Council continued the reclassification of property in the Highland
Oaks area to R-l, 10,000 sq, ft., &D zones until this meeting. Council
had expressed concern with section (f) of Paragraph 11 of Page 5 of
Resolution No. 4335 whereby the Architectural Review and Area Planning
Committee could make a determination that it is reasonably necessary
to employ one or more experts for a reasonable fee to review proposed
plans. The City Attorney explained that the Association had indicated
through its President that if Council deletes this provision they would
reluctantly agree; that they would prefer to operate as they have under
the deed restrictions which permits such employment.
The City Attorney presented, explained the content and read the title
of Resolution No. 4335, entitled: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA DETERMINING ' AND ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS
APPLICABLE TO REAL PROPERTY IN THE HIGHLAND OAKS AREA UPON ITS RECLASSI-
FICATION INTO A I D I ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN ZONE."

Council received the request of the Arcadia Jaycees for permission to
hold its annual carnival on July 12 - 15, 1973 on the City Hall parking
lot, It was MOVED by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Butterworth
and carried unanimously that permission be granted and that the appropriate
agreement be drawn up by the City Attorney.
Council received staff report and recommendation on revenue sharing
dated May 10 indicating permissible expenditures, Alternatives had
been reviewed and the recommendation was for $30,000 for the police
helicopter program, $11,000 for property maintenance personnel and the
balance reserved for capital expenditures including as a possibility
the police annex and land purchases for redevelopment, '
1
Councilman Butterworth stated in part that he would support the heli-
copter and the property maintenance programs and would have no
objection to placing the balance in a reserve for future uses and
emergencies. 'However, to him this would not mean putting it into a
police building which was rejected by the voters; that subsequent
Councils may want to do so but he would prefer to put it in a reserve
for future emergencies. He then MOVED that with respect to the use
of the Federal Revenue Sharing Funds which have been accumulated and
will be accumulated in the fiscal year the sum of $30,000 be used for
the continuation of the police helicopter program, $11,000 be used for
the property maintenance program and the balance be placed in a
reserve for future determination of this or subsequent Councils.
Councilman Helms seconded the motion.
Considerable discussion ensued with Councilman Scott submitting oppo-
sition to the use of any of the revenue sharing funds for the property,
maintenance program; that he had understood it would not require
additional personnel. Mayor Arth felt it was a good use with which
Councilman Helms agreed. The City Manager advised that the funds would
be used to retain personnel which is currently being paid under the
Federal Emergency Employment Act and which funds will soon run out.
Councilman Scott referred to the need in the Planning Department of
additional personnel, Some discussion held on this and it was pointed
out that the proposal is not to add personnel but to retain the present
employee. Councilman Hage asked that a study be made on the property
maintenance program... to ascertain what has been done.
Councilman Butterworth commented that he had not understood the money
was to be used for personnel and' then restated his motion thusly:
That insofar as the funds the City is receiving under the Federal
Revenue Sharing Program are concerned that the sum of $30,000 be
appropriated for the continuation of the helicopter program and the 1
balance, including those funds to be received during the balance of the
fiscal year, be placed in a reserve for action by this or subsequent
Councils. Motion seconded by Councilman Helms and carried on roll call

The City Attorney presented, explained the content and read the title
of Ordinance No. 1478, entitled: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ARCADIA AMENDING THE BUILDING CODE BY ADDING CERTAIN
REGULATIONS RELATING TO HIGH RISE BUILDINGS."
Council received reports from the Fire Chief and the Director of
Public Works concerning this proposed ordinance. It pertains to
safety from a firefighting standpoint and requires sprinklers and
other fire protection features in all buildings having floors used by
occupants located more than 55 ft. above the lowest level of fire
department vehicle access, The Fire Chief stated this ordinance is
critical to the future safety of the lives and property of residents.
Background material was incorporated into the report dated May 7.
The report from the Director of Public Works and the Superintendent
of Building and Safety submitted modifications in the requirements of
the building code, however these would not be necessary if the
sprinkling requirements were to be adopted,
Extensive consideration ensued with the Fire Chief responding to
inquiries. In conclusion he stated in part that in his opinion the
fire loss in the City would be practically nil if all buildings from
two story on up were sprinklered. The larger condominiums were
especially singled out ,... with the depth and limited access on the
sides of the buildings or through the center into the compounds
themselves. Council suggested a study be made at a future date on
these requirements.
1
J. Fleming, 3400 Irvine Avenue, Newport Beach, spoke at length stating
in part that the proposed ordinance as presently written would ad-
versely affect the economics of proposed or existing high rise con-
struction in the City. Reference was made to a cost estimate prepared
by Keller and Grant, Contractors, concerning costs under the ordinance,
He felt that the definition of a high rise building is a building
which cannot be serviced from the exterior by the fire department. He
explored his discussions with the Dk ector of Public Works and the
Building Superintendent concerning the proposed ordinance. The
building in which he is interested is proposed to be 8 stories at the
present time.. approximately 75 ft. He enumerated other cities,
including the County as well as the State, which are presently

considering a similar ordinance.
Mr, Hege asked what guarantee he would have that the ordinance if
adopted would not be amendedo He submitted it would be difficult to
complete plans for his proposed building; that he is seeking something
definite for his architect, He noted he has plans for a 6 and 8 story
buildingoo, no determination as yet; that if the ordinance should
change he would have to acquire additional parking if it were to be
8 stories. 1.t was the consensus of Council that efforts will be made
(0 make any amendments to the proposed ordinance as soon as possible,
however, this is not before Council at this time.. only the ordinance
relating to safety i~ all buildings of more than 55 feet above the
lowest level of fire department vehicles.
Whereupon it was MOVED by Counci Iman Butterworth, seconded by
Councilman Helms and carried on roll call vote as follows that the
