HEARING A ppe al filed by Darrell 1. Holman, M. D., from the decision of the
MODIFICATION Planning Commission for denial of his application for modification of his
(APPROVED) building at 612 W. Duarte Road. The request was for permission to expand
, his facility, provide additional parking spaces and a 6' temporary chain
F: I.A. I'{~(:(#/,.link fence along the south side of the proposed expanded parking area.
,'lr~. While the additional parking would not bring it up to, Code it was used
~ . by the Planning Department as a step in the right direction and was
. c.r,/} recommended by the Department, however, the majority of the Commission
V members in denying the modification found that there was an existing
parking space deficiency which should be eliminated or substantially reduced
before any modifications which would permit an expansion of the building.
Mayot Gilb declared the hearing open and the applicant, Dr. Holman, read
a prepared statement explaining how the acquisition of additional property
was made about two years ago, appropriate zoning obtained, architectural
plans were finalized; soil testing and the issuance of a building permit;
an alley and land for a sidewalk on Naomi Avenue was dedicated in order
to comply,with zoning regulations, improvements on the land were de-
molished, however, interest rates changed drastically and the project
was temporarily slowed down but never abandoned.
Dr. Holman continued in part that after being assured by City Planning
and Building Departments that there were no insurmountable problems
involved he agreed to construct a small additional space for an E. M. I.
Brain Scanner Diagnostic machine which he expects delivery on by the
middle of August... it is important that the space be available and
asked favorable action by Council.
"
Dr. John Nesson, 612 W. Duarte,Road" Radiology, stated in part that it
is the intention of the Radiology Group to bring the new equipment to
the City to provide a much needed service which combines an x-ray
machine with a computer. He compared the present methods of testing
with the examinations which may be performed by the new machine. He
said it is truly revolutionary and asked Council to approve the modi-
fication.
I
Lyle Cunningham, 475 Oxford Drive, referred to the parking requirements
which were a matter of concern at the Planning Commission meeting. He
stated in part that preliminary actions have been under way for some time
providing adequate parking and will be activated immediately if the
modification is granted. He continued that Dr. Holman has indicated a
willingness to provide additional spaces which would comply with Council's
approved ratio of 5.36 spaces per 1000 sq. ft. of modified floor area.

Projecturals of the subject area were reviewed. Parking areas and
location of the proposed new building were also explored.
John McCarthy, President of the West Arcadia Business & Professional
Association, presented a survey taken on the parking lot between 9 a.m.
and 12 noon and from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. May 5 to May 16. 'This survey was
taken by Mrs. Wanda Wild, 315 E.. Norman Avenue, and indicated that twice
during the entire period was there any trouble and this endured for
about 5 minutes each.
I
Ben Crue, M. D., representative from the City of Hope, asked Council to
look favorably on the modification request and noted the many benefits
to be derived from the half million dollar equipment - to patients and all
the surrounding hospitals.
William Wright, 1015 Fallen Leaf Road, Chief of Staff of the Methodist
Hospital in Arcadia, spoke of the present delay in time necessitated by
having to send patients out of the area for the services the Scanner
can provide.
Henry Hege, 550 W. Duarte Road, attorney for the applicant, asked
Council to grant the request and submitted that the parking spaces which
could be provided by,Dr. Holman would be adequate.
Kelvin Mason, 611 W. Duarte Road, immediate Past President of the local
Chamber of Commerce, spoke of the advantages the Medical building in
question has brought to the West Arcadia area. It has been good for
business and urged approval of the request.
Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, spoke in favor and noted the times
his family uses the medical facility.
Bill Crippen, Arcadia-Monrovia Ambulance Service, spoke to the savings
to the patients if the subject equipment were available within Arcadia;
that currently he is transporting about 30 percent of the patients into
Los Angeles.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilwoman Lauber, seconded by Councilman Scott and carried unanimously.
Councilwoman Lauber commented in part that she was well acquainted with
the subject matter and felt that there had been a parking problem but it
has since been alleviated by the reduction in spaces reserved for staff of
the medical building; that she would be in favor of accepting the new
figure for parking spaces, the dedication which Dr. Holman offers and
the recommendation of the Planning Department for approval.
I
Councilman Helms stated in part that although Council usually supports
the Commission in its technical decisions it should be noted that three
members were absent at the time the subject action for denial was taken
on a 3 to 1 vote; that he has considered and discussed the matter
thoroughly and felt the recommendation of the Planning Department
should be 'approved along with the acceptance for dedication made by Dr.
Holman for the ten additional spaces for the existing complex.
Councilman Saelid also felt satisfied with the 5.36 ratio; that he had,
not observed any parking deficiency and submitted the advantages of
the proposed specialized equipment with which he is well acquainted; that
it is an excellent opportunity for the City to have it available.
Councilman Helms MOVED that the decision of the Planning Commission be
overruled and that the modification application be APPROVED in accordance
with the recommendation of the 'Planning Department as contained in its
communication dated April 22; together with the dedication of the 10
additional parking spaces subject to staff approval. Councilman Saelid

During the above deliberations it was noted that, Commissioners had
abstained from voting on the resolutions of approval inasmuch as they

A ~ARKING
PLACE
COMMISSION
(Parking

had been absent when the item had been initially discussed and acted
upon. Council asked for a report from the City Attorney on the legality
of this with the thought in mind that provision should be made for the
absent Commissioners to review the minutes and/or listen to the tape
recordings so they could become acquainted with what had transpired
during their absence. In this way they could be prepared to vote on
resolutions and the like.
Council received the recommendation of the Parking Place Commission that
a Parking Authority for the City be established. Due to parking
deficiencies in areas where older commercial development stands the
Commission is of the opinion that a Parking Authority is the most flexible
and practical means for alleviating these conditions and making provision
for additional parking needs in the future. The Council would designate~
itself as the Parking Authority with the Parking Place Commission acting
in an advisory capacity only. The full explanation was set forth in a
report dated May 16 and on file in the office of the City Clerk.
During this deliberation Robert Bulot of the firm of Stone & Youngberg,
financing consultants, and the Assistant to the City Manager for Economic
Coordination, answered questions propounded by the Council members. It
was noted in the discussion that the principal advantage that the Parking
Authority would have over Parking Districts is the ability of the City to
use many sources of revenue to service the lease with the Parking
Authority... the source and amount of revenue changes to reflect changes
in benefit or qeed over a period of time, whereas a Parking,District
must rely on fixed annual assessments.. the outstanding bond indebtedness
becomes a lien on the property which may be viewed as undesirable where
property may be sold in the future. Under the more flexible means of
financing bonds of a Parking Authorit~ liens can be avoided if desired.
It ,was noted that if Council approved forming the Parking Authority the
first area of application would be the Towne Center area, and the Parking
Place Commission would recommend financing and spreading costs.
Due to the urgency of this matter it was MOVED by Councilman Helms,
seconded by Councilman Scott and carried on roll call vote as follows
that staff be directed to prepare the enabling resolution to establish
the Parking Authority pursuant to the reports, memorandums and directives
which have been presented and reviewed by Council.

Association, referred to the various street lighting systems set forth in
the Director of Public Works' report dated May 20 concerning Tract
No. 32493 - 1130 W. Colorado Boulevard (so-called Eaton property.) In

Review Board of the Association as well as residents in the subject area
are of the opinion that any installation other than the 14' marbelite
Should be incompatible with the neighborhood. The subdivider has asked
for an extension of City policy which would apply to his development

bid has been checked and found to be satisfactory. Funds for this

Project Program and consistent with past sidewalk programs it will be
necessary to appropriate additional funds primarily to cover the cost of
the assessment phase of the project which will be recovered by assessment
on abutting properties over a period of ten years.

At Council's meeting of May 6 authorization was given to execute a Grant
Deed for a portion of the Masonic Temple property and reference was made
to a requirement that the Association execute and deliver a covenant
agreeing to dedicate the southerly 30 feet of the property for public
street and alley purposes. Staff was directed at that time to research
the transaction to determine if the sale price reflected consideration
of the dedication of the alley and if in fact an alley is desirable or
practical at the location.
Staff submitted a report dated May 20 which included a history of the
transaction in October of 1963 and that although all of the facilities
in the immediate location have adequate driveway access to Duarte Road
an alley extended easterly to Santa Anita Avenue, even though it would
have a disruptive effect on Library parking, would tend to decrease
traffic congestion on Duarte Road. For this reason staff recommended
the alley right of way be retained for possible future use.
It was MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman Saelid and
carried on roll call vote as follows that the subject Grant Deed be
executed by the Mayor and City Clerk and that a covenant be obtained
from the Masonic Temple dedicating the southerly 30 feet for the public
street and, alley purposes.. same to' be held until Grant Deed has' been
