20:8461
Council received the recommendation of staff concerning the construction
of sidewalks in specified residential, commercial and apartment areas.
The Director of Public Works explored the streets to be considered and
stated in part that all of the abutting property owners had been
furnished with a commuuication imparting the necessary information
including the proposed location of the sidewalk, whether at property
line or curb line.
Prior to opening the hearing Councilman Scott stated in part that perhaps
the City has reached the point in the sidewalk program where sidewalks
are not needed any longer except in the most severe instances where they
must be installed to alleviate a hazard.. that perhaps Council should
make its decision as to whether or' not to proceed". that if not then
the residents would have nothing co be concerned about.
Councilman Helms and Hage felt Council should go ahead and hear from I
the residents and then determine the feasibility of the sidewalks as
recomended.. one by one. In answer to a question propounded by .
Councilman Scott the Director of Public Works advised in part that the
locations were recommended by the School District Administrative staff
and that Longden Avenue was added due to the heavy traffic on that
street and also to grievances from some of the property owners.
Mayor Arth declared the heari~g open.
LONGDEN. north side, from Holly to El Monte.:,
.1'. _ ...... .....
Bob Ross, .355 W. Longden, spcike'"in f~vor
LONGDEN, south side, from Baldwin to' Holly
Wallace Oliver, 560 W. Longden, asked, that sidewalks be rejected for
this area - that it would be i~practical to have them on both sides of
the st.reet.
LONGDEN. south side, from El Monte to Santa Anita
Clyde Blankenship, 36 W. Longden, spoke in favor and felt that Longden
is a most heavily traveled street - with the dense landscaping right
along the curbline people could not get out of the way of a car if
they had to - and with the 75' frontage of most of the ho~es there is
ample room for sidewalks.
Mrs. Wayne Sayre, 28 W. Longden, presented a petition in opposition
signed by most of the residents on this side. She said there are two
families desiring sidewalks. She felt that. with sidewalks on the
north side additional. walkways are not needed. The majority of the
residents prefer the rural atmosphere and privacy afforded at the
present time. She also noted the times the street has been torn up for
Sewers and the like.
George S. Ferreira, 60 W, Longden, asked Council to seriously consider
what was stated by Mrs, Sayre. I
NORMAN, north side, from First to Second
Vernon J. Hsyes, 1720 S. Watson, opposed the sidewalks but if they
had to be constructed he would prefer them at the curbline. He sub-
mitted problems which would be experienced in driveways, such as
parking, etc. He said most of the residents there did not want side-
walks.
A citizen who identified himself, as a Crossing Guard said in part that
the sidewslk is not needed; that with proper instruction children could
cross the street md walk to school. safely.

Lou Moore) corner of Norman and First, expressed opposition as it would
cut into his landscaping and that there isn't much traffic on Norman.
He noted problems which might occur, from a water hydrant.
Preston Swab, 1716 S. Second, said in part that all of the landscaping
would be disrupted along his property line; that he had already had to
do ie over when sidewalks were installed on Second Avenue.
Homer Okey, 1721 S. Third, spoke against all sidewalks and submitted
that any former safety hazard at his place has been corrected.
CAMINO REAL, noreh side, from Holly to EI Monte
I
Harold Sumner, 375 W. Camino Real, opposed sidewalks at this location
and presented a petition signed by residents on the north side. He felt
the sidewalk on the south side should be sufficient - that if the City
reaches the projected growth then the street would probably have to be
torn up again for widening purposes.
Rocco Sanello, 381 W. Camino Real, felt the City is losing its rural
atmosphere with the landscaping being disrupted... could see no need
for sidewalks at this location.
Jack Campbell, 243,W. Camino Real, could not understand the proposal
for the north side .. there is already a sidewalk on the south side and
this provides safety for the children and all pedestrians. He could
not see spending money for both sides of the street; that if it comes
down co making the installation he would prefer curbline.
SANTA ANITA, west side, from Sierra Madre to Grandview
Arlene Des Jardins, 1845 N. Santa Anita, spoke in favor. She noted
the heavy traffic on Santa Anita and wit:h the sidewalk installation it
would complete the program for ehe full lengeh of Santa Anita, She
said in part that more children feed into Santa Anita from the west
side and asked for the proposed installaeion.
Carmen Wong, 1763 N. Santa Anita, spoke in opposition at this location.
She presented a petition from those who felt sidewalks on both sides
were noe needed... that buses were avaIlable for both Jr. High and High
School students.
Chuck Sherman, 1741 N. Santa Anita, opposed sidewalks and referred to
the down slope on Santa Anita... if the aidewalks were installed he
called attention to the motorcycles, bicycles, skateboards, and the
like, swerving in and out over ehe sidewalka.
Murold Devlin, lBl5 N. Santa Anita, epoke against sidewulks und asked
Council to delete the etreet from the program.
LAS FLO!t~Sl nQn~ aide!.. from Holly to El Monte,
I
Bob Franklin, 255 W. Las Flores, presented a petition signed by home
owners in this area ... 15 out of 21 ... Opposition was based on Las
Flores noe being a through street such as Longden, Norman and Camino
Real; that a greaeer need exists on the ease side of Holly where
children cross the street unattended as they go to and from school.
The residents desired co maintain the rural atmosphere and felt no
benefit would be derived from the sidewalks.
Dr. George Frempter, 345 W. Las FLores, spoke as a resident. He is
President of the Arcadia School Board. He asked the Director of
Public Works when the Board considered the recommendation concerning
sidewalks. The Director staeed in part thar it was transmitted to his
office by ehe school adminiseraeive staff; that he did not know how it
was handled with the Board; that the program has been a continuing one
since 1964. Dr. Frempter continued ~n part that there have been
changes on the Board and on the Council since the sidewalk program was
conceived and questioned whether the validity of the sidewalk program
1-15-74

20: 8463
is- in keeping with the original concept. He felt the program should be
~e-evaluated in light of the total needs of the City as it is today.
Robert Knowles, 339 W. Las Flores, said in his opinion there is no need
for sidewalks.
Ray Hatter, 315 W. Las Flores, said he had contacted the Superintendent
of Schools concerning a survey and had been advised that they did not
know of a recent survey. He recommended sidewalks on El Monte as it
goes north to the high school.
Mrs. Des Jardins stated that the Business Manager of the School District
had submitted maps and written instructions to the various schools
asking for an evaluation as to the need for sidewalks.
Mrs. Sherry Passmore, 1109 Columbia Road, suggested that if there are I
plans for the widening of Holly and Longden perhaps the sidewalk
installation should be coordinated therewith. The Director of Public
Works advised there are no plans at the present time to widen either
street.
Ellen Emerline, 269 W. Las Flores, felt sidewalks should be installed
on the east side of Holly due to the heavy traffic on that street.
LAS FLORES, north side, from Santa Anita to Second
Ernie Jensen, 41 E. Las Flores, presented a petition signed by all
~esidents of both sides of Las Flores between Santa Anita: arid First.
They do not want sidewalks, but if they are to be constructed they
would prefer them at the curbline as the 12' setback would change the
appearance and atmosphere of the street. It was felt that the proposed
trees would soon damage driveways.. that experts in the field had been
contacted and they agreed with this premise. Mr. Jensen said the
Principal for the Santa,Anita School did not recommend sidewalks for
that area. He asked that they be deleted.
Richard'D'Arezzo, 53,E. Las Flores, opposed sidewalks and presented a
petition signed by property owners on both sides of the street between
Santa Anita and Second. He delineated the areas in question on
drawings and noted in part that the Business Manager of the School
District advised that the recommendation had come from the Transpor-
tation Department of the District. Also that a survey had not been
made. He traced on the map the route taken by the school children
and felt there is no need for sidewalks at this time.
William Minter, Sr., 147 E., Las Flores, opposed sidewalks and felt the
funds could be better expended especially when so many of the residents
are against the installation.
Leo Schlicht, 101 E. Las Flores opposed sidewalks and expressed concern
as to the damage which could result by the trees.
Leslie Bloom, 21 E. Las Flores, opposed sidewalks and felt they are I
not needed in this area. He felt the rural atmosphere should be
~etained and submitted that the adverse attitude toward sidewalks
should indicate to Council that sidewalks are not wanted.
Dan Butler, corner of First and Las Flores, stated in part that from
his observation the children do not use sidewalks and noted his
problem with sprinkler heads from children walking across his lawn.
He was opposed.

a high volume of traffic.

SIDEWALK PROGRAM UNDER THE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT ACT
SUNSET, east side, from Huntington to Portola
Arnold Giggar, 1155 La Rosa, owner of an apartment on the southeast
corner of Sunset and Porto la, did not think sidewalks would improve the
appearance of his area. He suggested some type of narrow curb sidewalk
on the radius corner would be compatible. He expressed concern about
responsibility if someone should get hurt on the sidewalk. Mrs. Giggar,
same address, spoke along the same lines as her husband. They will
meet with the Director of Public Works in this regard.

Louis St. Thomas, 155 Alice, spoke in favor of the sidewalk proposed for
this street. However, he preferred installation at the curbline. And
also submitted that it would be better to replace the old tree.
Adele Stone, 721 S. Second" spoke to this installation, in part that to
her it seems a little unfair that she has to pay for the sidewalks, She
noted that she placed stepping stones for those going to church and I
parking in front of her two unit apartment in order to keep them from a
hazard. She asked for consideration in this regard and if the sidewalks
must go in asked that they be at curbline.
Reuben Ruiz, 227 Genoa, referred to one of the objectives of a new
resident associationcwithin the city - that of development of this area.

Planning Commission recommendation concerning Open Space Regulations as
set forth in its Resolution No. 836. ,The Planning Director explained
the purpose which is to provide for the preservation, conservation and
utilization of open space lands and natural resources so as to maintain
and enhance the quality of the environment. Mayor Arth declared the
hearing open and no one desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on
MOTION by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Hage and carried
unanimously. It was then MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by
Councilman Scott and carried unanimously that the recommendation be
APPROVED.
The Planning Commission on December 11 granted a conditional use permit
for a restaurant at 218-230 N. First Avenue (Acapulco). The matter
appeared before Council on January 2 and was continued because of
differences between the lessee and lessor. ,These differences have been
resolved. The Planning Director suggested an addition to one of the
conditions set forth in Resolution No. 8.34, i. e., No.5 to read "Prior
to construction of the structural additions, the applicant will submit
for the City Attorney's approval, an agreement which will provide that
the parking lot to be constructed at the southwest corner of First and
St. Joseph will be maintained as long as the use authorized by this
permit is maintained."
Councilman Scott expressed concern about the inadequate parking and
felt it is the obligation of the applicant to improve this situation.
The applicant proposes 22 spaces on the site and 21 spaces across the
street from the restaurant, making a total of 43 parking spaces
leaving a: deficiency of 17 spaces. It was the consensus of a majority
of the Co'uncil that economics will 'probably dictate the need --- if a
'parking problem continues the applicant will have to acquire property
whereever it ii available. It was noted that the Commission approved
this on a 6 to 0 vote. It was MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by
Councilman Hage and carried on roll call vote as follows that the
conditional use permit be granted, subject to conditions specified in
Resolution No. 834 with the one change.
