Councilman Jack Saelid Mayor Alton E. Scott PRESENT: ABSENT Councilmen Gilb, Helms, Lauber, Saelid, Scott None MOTION by Councilwoman Lauber, seconded by Councilman Gilb and carried, the minutes of the Regular Meeting of July 2, 1974 were APPROVED with corrections on 1) Page 2: Sidewalk Construction Right-of-Way: 8th line delete "total of $2097.90" and add "The amount of $2800 to be appropri- ated from Capital Projects; sidewalk construction costs to be funded from Phase VIII of the side"alk construction program," 2) Page 7: Property Acquisition, Longden & Sixth Avenues, 3rd paragraph 2nd line: change word "process" to "profit" -- to read 'anticipated profit; his o"n profit'. AYES ABSTAIN: Councilmen Gilb, Lauber, Saelid, Scott Councilman Helms Planning Commission recommended a general plan change relating to the Eaton Property located on the southeast corner of Colorado Street & Michillinda Av, (1150 W, Colorado St.) from residential to general com- mercial that would be consistent "ith adjoining developments; that property would not be conducive to low density residential development; that reclassi- fication to general commercial will create an incentive to upgrade the property and act as a buffer between the existing commercial uses and noise emanating from traffic on Colorado, Michillinda and freeway. Gordon Maddock of Maddock & Associates stated in part that subject property presently contains 8 acres with restaurant, coffee shop and bungalow apart- ments with swimming pool "ith the balance acreage in parking lot and an unoccupied section. He proposes to reduce the northwest corner containing the restaurant, coffee shop and parking lot to a 3 acre parcel, half being C-l, half R-l 10,000 with a parking overlay acting as a buffer zone between the proposed residential development of 18 new homes on the remaining 5 acres. Mrs. Johanna Hofer, 875 Monte Verde questioned the elimination of some of the parking spaces in the rezoning process which she feels will be needed by restaurant patrons~ Councilman Saelid indicated he would like to see this area developed residentially but that a high quality residential on that corner would be doubtful and that in his opinion this proposal is probably the best to be expected. He also questioned if signalization might be needed with the increased restaurant traffic. 7-16-74 - 1 - GENERAL PLAN CHANGE continued (EATON) "'/~~ I' I \) CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT MARANATHA .; SCHOOL LIBRARY ,.. _ J ~.~ b 2l:8593 Councilwoman Lauber commented that Council had gone to great depth examing every facet of consideration and the justification lies in today's economic market that there can be no money lent on a variance, the lenders require a commercial zone, and that Council has asked for a D-overlay and special limitations added to the C-l zone. ' Councilman Gilb asked what would happen if the restaurant didn't survive. i_ ...,.. ~.J"" L.:.. .::,jJ.L C?uncilma~,Hel~ stated that he has previously cautioned the Council that it should not consider a specific proposal for the' use of property ,when considering a change in the general plan. Frequently the specific use does not materialize and other uses may develop which are incompatible 1 with the surrounding area. Spot zoning commercial adjacent to a high class residential area is poor planning. There has been no relevant evi- dence presented to the Council which justifies a change of zoning to com- mercial for this parcel. The zone change will only increase the profits of the developer at the expense of the residents. If the zoning is changed to commercial the City loses its control over the future commercial uses that can be made of that property. For 35 years, the restaurant has ex- isted under a conditional use permit with an underlying zone of R-l res- idential. There is no reason why this zoning cannot continue. There is no economic, financial or planning justification for a change of zoning. The continued use of the restaurant is desirable, but if the zoning is changed to commercial the City loses its control of the property and it is entirely possible that the restaurant may never be opened again. It was MOVED by Councilwoman Lauber, seconded by Councilman Saelid and carried on roll call vote as follows to accept the Planning Commission's recommendation and instructed the City Attorney to prepare a Resolution in accordanceo AYES NOES ABSENT: Gilb, Lauber, Saelid, Scott Helms None Planning Commission Resolution No. 857 granted a conditional use permit :" for Maranatha School to expand the floor space of the existing library by 380 sq. ft.; that the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use. It was MOVED by Councilwoman Lauber, seconded by Councilman Gilb'and,carried unanimously that the conditional use permit be granted subject to the con- ditions set forth in said resolution.

Consultants suggested one measure to cut the decibel reading would be a 12 ft. canvas screen located on the in- side of the fence. The City Manager noted that screening would be some- what of a maintenance problem and the height would be a visual problem for residents.

AYES NOES ABSENT: Gilb, Helms, Lauber, Saelid, Scott Councilmen None None Council received a petition and request dated July 11, 1974, initiated by Robert Bartley, 506 S. Old Ranch Rd. urging Hugo Reid Drive be one, way out (eastbound) at Baldwin. Mr. Bartley stated considerable time and effort had been spent canvassing the area most directly served by Hugo Reid and feels there is another solution other than closure. Robert Munro, 40B Cabrillo Rd., Vice President of the Santa Anita Village Association feels the issues were thoroughly explored a few years ago by the postcard poll and that thru traffic is not needed. Edward Passmore, 1109 Columbia Rd., Representative for Lower Rancho Board stated his concern with the rapid traffic on Hugo Reid and that its the only east-west crossing street the race track bus could use. Speaking as representative for the Board - they stand by the original decision of 2 years ago. Max A. Davis, 667 Hampton Rd. commented that streets are for all the people and same cannot be closed because of accidents. Suggested that lights at strategic points may slow traffic. Also felt it unwise to have another poll taken. John Barnes, 22 Corto Rd. pointed out the people have experienced the present method in operation for 2 years and that it seems satisfactory. Realizes the combined traffic of Fashion Park and the race track will be a serious situation coupled with the fact approximately 700 school children use Hugo Reid. Made reference to the Simon-Eisner Report. Mrs. Stella Ross, 355 W. Longden Av. feels its discriminatory to close off a street for one segment of the City. She further pointed out the hazardous traffic on Longden Av. between El Monte Av. and Holly Av. May Shultz, 707 Joaquin Rd. said traffic on Golden West has increased and feels the complete closure of Hugo Reid will further complicate same. By keeping it as it is traffic is moreorless split. She added its dangerous for children waiting for the bus at Golden West & Portola. Albino De la Toro, 833 Hugo Reid opposes the reopening of the street and felt the purpose of the petition was misinterpreted by the 700 signatures thereon. Eugene Cocks, 876 Hugo Reid referred to the amount of time it would take the Fire Dept. to reach the area. He made a study of two different routes - each took less than 2 minutes. Feels Council should ratify their decision of 2 years ago. Gordon Anderson, 503 S. Baldwin Av., stated 10 individuals helped to circu- late the petition and quoted statistically t~e number of homes canvassed and signatures obtained; that a substantial majority on Hugo Reid and the area served wished to preserve the exit at Baldwin Av.; that many favoring the one-way out be made permanent voted for closure in 1972, and those desiring complete closure did so as a result of the Simon-Eisner Report. He feels if excessive traffic does occur during the racing season it should be stopped or controlled at point of entry by using saw horses or signs at hours of day which would not inconvenience residents going to and from work. 7-16-74 - 5 - PETITION Hugo Reid continued Ir~ ~I /,1, I , /. ! -1/.)

U1'IL' 21:8597 James Brewer, 1101 Encanto Dr. suggested both the closure of Hugo Reid, ingress and egress of emergency vehicles could be accomplished - by means of a'remote control gate for the latter. r' Alvin Burdick, 854 Hugo Reid maintained the Bartley petition was misrepre- sented; that a high percentage of residents on Hugo Reid wished their names withdrawn. However, agrees with petition that Hugo Reid and Michil- linda intersection is hazardous. Gordon Anderson was given rebuttal time and refuted the accusation. Raymond Morrow, 862 Hugo Reid Dr. urged closure of Hugo Reid and cited daily violations of vehicles standing in line to enter the exit only. 1 Howard Gentle, 330 Cabrillo Rd. noted during the past three weeks while travelling Hugo Reid to Baldwin he has been met head on by a disposal truck, a gardener's truck and a private automobile. Urged the closure of the street. Councilman Helms stated the only safe .way to make a decision is to repeat the postcard poll with but two issues - to close Hugo Reid entirely or maintain the present arrangement. He feels door to door solicitation is not a true representation, that a postcard poll would be more accurate, and and does not want to make a decision until same is taken. Councilman Helms expressed concern regarding the race track traffic on Holly,: El Monte and Longden Avenues. Councilman Saelid reflected his concern about the traffic on Longden Av. as well as Hugo Reid but doesn't feel because traffic control effects one area of the City that it should be turned over to the City for a solution but where there is a problem it deserves attention. In his opinion Hugo Reid has a unique probleM brought on by the anticipated Fashion Park traffic. He referred to the Simon-Eisner Report that if adequate con- trols are not put in place the area will degrade, and he will take no action that would in any way degrade the area. He also is against re- peating the action of two years ago. Councilwoman Lauber agrees with Councilman Helms and feels residents have the prerogative to reconfirm their position or change their opinion after living with a situation for a period of time. On request of Councilwoman Lauber the Director of Public Works gave traffic count statistics on race days and non race days. Councilman Gilb expressed his concern about patrolling the area where vehicles turn into a one way street and asked the same be discussed with the Chief of Police. He asked that Council direct staff to prepare a ballot for the 'postcard poll. It was MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried on roll call vote as follows that Hugo Reid Drive remain in its present 1 state and action be taken no later than April 1, 1975.
