displays to maintain interest. Pins will be available for citizen
participation. The Commission is working with travel agencies for a
trip to the New England States. The City Recreation Commission is
planning a perpetual monument for one of the mini-parks to commemorate

efforts and accomplishments thus far.
HEARING The Planning Commission, in response to requests from the developers and
C.U.P. & property owners for an extension of Conditional Use Permit 72-16 and the
TRACT 31634- tentative map of Tract No. 31634 which would allow a seven unit planned
Extension residential development for property at 343 W. Colorado Boulevard,
Denied granted extensions which would both expire on January 3, 1975. At the
. Council meeting of January 7 this hearing was scheduled to consider the
P' ~f_~_~1equested extensions and the possible inclusion of another condition -
. - the installation of all standard street improvements on Oakhurst Lane
with the exception of curbs, gutters, sidewalks and street lighting.
1
The Planning Department contacted the developer and owner requesting a
written agreement to comply with this condition, should it be adopted,
or notice to the contrary. To date no written response has been received.
Mayor Scott declared the hearing open and no one desiring to be heard
the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Helms, seconded by
Councilwoman Lauber and carried unanimously.
Council reviewed projecturals of the proposed development. Noting the
present construction of another tract on the north side 'of Oakhurst Lane
the Director of Public Works stated in part that with the increased
traffic which would be generated by the two subdivisions there would be
a hazardous condition at the intersection of the private roadway
(Oakhurst Lane) which must be used for ingress and egress. That this

new condition could be somewhat alleviated by widening the street along
the frontage of the tract.
Mayor Scott did not feel there were substantial changes in the
circumstances; that when the tract currently under consideration was
approved. Council realized that the north side of Oakhurst Lane would
be developed at some future date and felt Council should either grant
the extensions or deny - not place conditions of approval. That if
the developer, because of the additional condition, decides not to
build, the property will remain as it is, unimproved.
Councilman Helms referred to two other times Council has approved sub-
divisions for this property - none of which ever came to fruition -
that a great deal of time was spent by Council, the Planning Commission 1
and staff in determining a proper utilization of the property the
number and type of structures which could be built, etc. He noted the
one road for ingress and egress at a hazardous and dangerous corner,
He then MOVED that Council finds there has been a change of circumstances
and same be the grounds for denial of the request for extension; that
if the developers file with the City on or before March 1, 1975 a
consent to structural development of Oakhurst Lane as prescribed by the
City Engineer that the permit will be extended to September 1, 1975.
Councilwoman Lauber was advised that the developer and owner were
notified of the date of this hearing. ...
Roll call was then taken on the motion to deny.

Council scheduled this hearing to consider the following General Plan
designations as recommended by the Planning Commission. The recom-
mendations of the Planning Department are also noted below.
AREA 1: 6732-6756 Golden West Avenue and 9808-9836 Naomi Avenue.
(Currently indicated as Medium Density Residential and
recommended by the Commission to remain. Planning
Department recommends same which is consistent 'with the
General Plan.)
AREA 2
756-818 Naomi Avenue (currently indicated as Medium Density
Residential and recommended by the Commission to remain.
Planning Department recommends High Density Residential
which would be consistent with the General Plan.)
AREA 3: 719-803 Camino Real (currently indicated as Medium Density
Residential and recommended by the Commission to remain.
Planning Department recommends High Density Residential
which would be consistent with the General Plan.)
1
NOTE: Zone changes relative hereto have been tabled pending Council
consideration of these General Plan classifications.
Mayor Scott declared the hearing open and Frank Goodman, 1500 Louise,
owner of 816-818 Naomi Avenue (Area 2) stated in part that the existing
improvements were built prior to World War II and that for many years
the owners of the property have wanted to develop the land into a
commercial use and now with Fashion Park any commercial development
would probably gravitate northward instead of to the south. He asked
for High Density Residential commenting that if it remains medium
density residential it would probably be condemned to remain in its
present state with no further hope of development, but with the higher
use he felt it would not be long before improvements would come into
being.

Councilwoman Lauber submitted in part that the zoning for the subject
areas has been changed several times since 1966 and that the General
Plan should now be brought into conformity and MOVED to amend the
General Plan to designate Areas 1, 2 and 3 as High Density Residential.
Motion seconded by Councilman Helms.
Councilman Saelid stated in part that he could not support more high
density residential; that in his opinion there is too much at the
present time and that Council has a responsibility to the single family
residential area directly south of Area 1. He felt single family and
medium density residential would serve as a buffer between the commercial
area and the single family residential. However he could support high
density in Area 3 but would prefer medium density in Areas 1 and 2.
Councilman Helms shared Mr. Saelid's concern about too much high density
development but felt the subject areas are in great need of the type
of development a high density designation could bring.

It was then MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman Gilb and
carried unanimously that this Council action be referred to the
Planning Commission for review.
Council considered the Planning Commission recommendation outlined in
its Resolution No. 876 for the denial of a text amendment relating to a
temporary reduction in required parking and further recommending
conditions in the event such temporary parking reduction is approved by
Council. This in essence relates to reduction of required parking
spaces in specific commercial zones for use as promotion and display or
for parking lot saies. The Commission felt any reduction in the number
of parking spaces required would be inadequate for parking. Council
considered each section of the resolution relating to Promotional
Entertainment Events and to Parking Lot Sales,
Mayor Scott declared the hearing open and Dave Paradis, representing the
Chamber of Commerce, advised that the business community needs all the
support it can get during the present crucial economic situation and
urged Council to adopt an ordinance which would not reduce the parking
requirements. He noted the parking lot and sidewalk sales which have
been successful over the years; also other promotional events such as
auto shows.
John McCarthy, President of the West Arcadia Business and Professional
Association, spoke to this matter and stated in part that the proposed
regulations are satisfactory to the Association.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilwoman Lauber and carried unanimously.

Council scheduled this public hearing concerning the proposed vacation
of Dearborn Street between Peck Road and Myrtle Avenue. Resolution
No. 4475 was adopted on January 21. Mayor Scott declared the hearing
open.
Mrs. Johanna Hofer, 875 Monte Verde Drive, protested the proposed
vacation stating in part that although the street has never been used
by the public it belongs to the public and referred to the expenditure
in time and money to dedicate a street. She asked Council not to
vacate this street as ~he felt it will eventually be used by the
Arcadia Redevelopment Agency or Community Redevelopment Agency and
asked for another means of stimulating interest for correction of
blighted and/or vacant private property.
Councilman Helms commented that the public should know that by vacating
Dearborn Street the area of land owned by the City itself would be
increased. The City Manager advised in response to a question by
Councilwoman Lauber that the City at some future time will probably sell
this property at its market value.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilwoman Lauber and carried unani-
mously. Councilman Gilb further MOVED to overrule the objection and 1
that the City Attorney be directed to prepare the appropriate resolution
for the abandonment of Dearborn Street between the limits of Peck Road
and Myrtle Avenue. Motion seconded by Councilwoman Lauber and carried

Council received the request of the Sister City Commissi~ri'f?t: :.
assistance in recognizing a group of local residents who will'travel to
Newcastle,' Australia, in order to involve itself in finalizing the
culmination of the twinning of the two cities. When the group has been
assembled, Council will present necessary documents and appoint official
representatives to finalize the agreement. The Commission also recom-
mended that the Friendship Club officers assume the responsibilities of
the details which would relieve the city staff of these duties.
Mrs. Harold Libby, Chairman of the Commission, spoke to this and
Councilman Gilb, Council Liaison to the Commission, stated in part that
November of this year had been discussed for the trip and that it was'-
felt a small group would make the trip and that it would be his recom-
mendation that official representation for the twinning be by a duly
elected city official. Mayor Scott, on behalf of Council, expressed
appreciation to Mrs. Libby for .the outstanding work the Commission has
done, especially at the recent dedication of the Tripolis Friendship
Park.
It was then MOVED by Councilman Helms that it be the sense of this
Council that the Sister City Commission and the Friendship Club be
requested to formalize a visit to Newcastle, Australia, which would
encompass an elected official as well as official representation of
the Commission. Motion seconded by Councilman Gilb and carried on roll

Mrs, Johanna Hofer, 875 Monte Verde Drive, spoke to the following
subjects: 1) Sister City Programs, 2) Dial-a-ride transportation system
and suggested contacting the business interests in the city tb ascertain
if they would be interested in subsidizing transportation, 3) the use
of school buses for transportation 4) the petition requesting permission
to serve beer and wine at the Par-3 Golf Course, 5) the proposed sidewalk
program and the manner in which the sidewalks are constructed, 6) Council
packets in the City Library.
Councilman Gilb submitted that persons going on Sister City trips pay
all their own expenses and that the petition from the Par-3 Golf Course
asks for beer only - not wine. Councilman Helms commented that the 1
Board of Education has been contacted about the use of school buses for
transportation needs of citizens.
Council received the recommendation for construction of sidewalks and
the draft environmental impact report (dated February 4, 1975). It was
submitted in four sections, normal residential construction, assessment
district construction, improvement of Colorado and the improvement of
Holly including curbs and gutters where they do not now exist.
During this consideration the Director of Public Works advised
Councilwoman Lauber that the State will relinquish jurisdiction of
Foothill Boulevard to the City during the latter part of this year and
staff will then proceed with some design work which will include side-
walks. Other areas were discussed briefly with Councilman Helms asking
that El Monte Avenue be included for sidewalks on the east side south
from Longden Avenue. He noted the four cui de sacs opening onto
El Monte with many small children living in the area. Council agreed
to this inclusion.
It was MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman Gilb and carried
unanimously that the tentative list of Phase IX sidewalk locations,
including the east side El Monte south from Longden Avenue, be APPROVED;
that a public hearing be scheduled for March 4 on these tentative
locations and the draft E.I.R.; that the Director of Public Works be
authorized to contact the affected property owners of the impending
action; that the locations under the 191] Act also be approved; that the
Superintendent of Streets be authorized to mail and post Notice to
construct sidewalks and schedule this hearing for March 4.
Council received the report from the Fire Chief concerning his recom-
mendation for purchase of one 1250 GPM Triple Combination Pumper with
a cost estimate of $59,500. Council had requested further data on the
proposed equipment - in addition to the specifications. The report set
forth the desired features which are needed primarily to reduce response
time. The Fire Chief spoke to this and answered questions. He noted in
part that the apparatus recommended is one which will provide quicker 1
response to one of the deficient areas of the City and is designed to
permit all firemen to ride in the cab on non-emergency duties and
equipped with a safety device which if used pr0perly will prevent a
man from falling off and/or being dragged on the ground. He also sub-
mitted that the State Department of Industrial Safety is of the opinion
that the equipment is completely safe.
With reference to a grievance letter the Fire Chief stated in part that
in the opinion of the Personnel Director it was not a true grievance
letter as it had not been signed and with reference to the concern
expressed in communications from the wives of two firemen he submitted
that the firemen would actually be safer with the type of equipment
recommended.

The City Manager explained what had transpired in connection with the
parking situation on San Juan, Santa Rosa and Santa Cruz resulting from
dancing at the Westerner Restaurant. He recommended the installation
of parking prohibition signs on said streets between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. -
on a trial basis. It was noted that this was tried over the last
weekend - that many citations were given and the response from the
neighborhood on the whole was good. The owner-operator of the
restaurant felt this might be a successful solution.
It was the consensus of Council that the signs be so erected - however
felt the sign on Santa Rosa by the Thoroughbred Association building
should be removed. Also that the operator-owner retain a police
officer for the next two weeks. Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman
Gilb, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried unanimously that the
signing for 'no parking' between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. be completed and
that they be further installed on each side of Santa Rosa starting with
the first residence thereon; and that a police officer be retained for
the next two weeks.
Council explored in detail the various transportation systems contained
in a comprehensive report dated January l3, 1975. Council had previously
expressed concern over inadequate intra-city bus service provided by the
Southern California Rapid Transit District because the needs of the
,city, primarily senior citizens, were net: being met. There are pre-
sently only four SCRTD lines going through the city - 3 lines running
east/west (Huntington Drive, Colorado Blvd. and Foothill Blvd.) and 1
line running north/south (Santa Anita to Duarte Road to Baldwin to Las
Tunas). These lines are for inter-city travel serving an extremely
small segment. Intra-city travel is almost non-existent.
Council discussed each method at length and it was the consensus that
the best way to determine demand would be to test a system for a
limited period with wide coverage given the system prior to the time
of beginning in order to acquaint the citizens of the opportunity.
Taxi service is almost prohibitive due to the costs. However one of the
systems would be a subsidized taxi service which could provide a re-
latively inexpensive way of testing the Dial-a-ride concept and would
be far more useful than data obtained from surveys and/or studies.
Council has for some time observed the operations of other cities and
net: ed their failure or success and have been aware of the need for intra-
city travel. Interest was expressed in the system which could be
provided by the San Gabriel Valley Cab Company on a 7 day week 7 a.m.
to 7 p.m. basis with three cabs in service at rates set forth in the
report to be available to all citizens regardless of age. Staff sub-
mitted that the operation could be set in motion by April.
Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilwoman
Lauber and carried on roll call vote as follows that staff be authorized
to negotiate an Agreement with the San Gabriel Valley Cab Company along
the lines discussed by Council and reflected in the staff report - and
submitted to Council for final approval.
