Robert Arth PRESENT: ABSENT: Councilmen Scott, Hage, Butterworth, Helms, Arth None On MOTION by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried unanimously the minutes of the regular meeting of May 1 were APPROVED. Due to his absence from said meeting Councilman Butterworth abstained from voting, Proposed development of a park at the southwest corner of Golden West and Fairview Avenues, It was noted that the Recreation Commission had reviewed and approved in general the concept for a park at this location. All property owners within. the required radius were notified of this hearing. Mayor Arth declared the hearing open and no one desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried unanimously, It was then MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman Scott and carried on roll call vote as follows that staff proceed with negoti- ations for the purchase of the property pursuant to the terms previ- ously discussed; that the general concept of a park for said location be APPROVED and that a Negative Environmental Impact Report be APPROVED and FILED with the County Recorder, AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Scott, Hage, Butterworth, Helms, Arth None None 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 5-15-73 - 1 - HEARING (Zoning) ... q~? \ ,t1' (J',/Ol i' 20:8289 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. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Scott, Hage, Butterworth, Helms, Arth None None 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 5-15-73 - 2 - 20:8290 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. 5-15-73 - 4 - 1 ZONING (High land Oaks ar e a) IESOLUTION O. 4335 DOPTED WITH DELETION ~' j) , ,I , , , f tV.!,' C-<J ., '~ < ,(]V f IV'p.J 0-' ' TRACT NO. 31255 (Fina 1 Map Approved) '}, I \- ( 20:8292 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. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Hage, Butterworth, Helms, Arth Councilman Scott None 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." It was MOVED by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Hage 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 as amended, AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Scott, Hage, Butterworth, Helms, Arth None None II , " v Council received the recommendation for Tract No. 31255 as it is in substantial approved tentative map.

Foothill Boulevard. It was MOVED by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried unanimously that the final map be and it is hereby APPROVED. 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.

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.

Property in question is ar the northeast corner of Fifth Avenue and Huntington Drive. The successor in interest to the original property owners is World Vision, Inc., which has requested an amendment ,to the easement to permit the installation of an underground electrical conduit at two locations.
