I HEARING (Zone Change) -I;J&~":;)' HEARING (Code Text Change) '1"/' ';"'!~ / f/.Jt': d ~/' f r. j ;- 19 :7734 The ~arking Place Commission recommended the installation of lights in Vehicle Parking District No. 2 by the use of funds in its Property Acquisition Account. It was noted that this could provide for eight Mercury Vapor luminaires on 12' galvanized steel poles. Mayor Butterworth decLared the hearing open and Roy Long, Chairman of the Parking Place Commission, stated in part that the proposed installation would improve the downtown area and would be advantageous to the merchants in the area and urged approval of the recommendation. No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman Rage and carried unanimous 1y. I Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman Hage and carried unanimously that the recommendation be ACCEPTED. The City Manager then noted that bids for the aforementioned project were received and recommended the award of contract to the low bidder as set forth in his report dated October 29. Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Arth, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried on roll call vote as follows, that the contract be awarded to the low bidder, Sherwin Electric Service of Los Ange les, in the amount of $4,994., and charged to the Parking Place Property Acquisition Account; that any monies remaining in said account be used for landscaping and beautifi- cation of District No.2 in accordance with city standards. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Arth, Considine, Hage, Helms, Butterworth None None An application was filed with the Planning Department requesting a change of zone from C-l to C-2 at 117-165 E. Duarte Road. FoLLowing public hearings the Commission recommended said change and incorporated its findings in Resolution No. 716. This is the date that was scheduLed for the hearing before Council. The Planning Director displayed projecturals of the site and its surroundings which indicated it will lend itself to development under the requested zoning inasmuch as it is directly across the street from a shopping center housing a super-market and satellite stores. The applicant proposes to establish a restaurant, the exact type has not been established, probably a carry-out which would necessitate a conditional use permit for which the applicant would have to make application for consideration by both the Planning Commission and City Council. He noted that there is an alley at the rear of the subject property which could act as a buffer. Mayor Butterworth declared the hearing open and no one desiring to speak to the matter the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman I Rage, seconded by Councilman Considine and carried unanimously. It was further MOVED by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Considine and carried unanimously that the recommendation of the Planning Commission be SUSTAINED and that the zone be changed from C-l to C-2 pursuant to Resolution No. 716. The Planning Commission at its meeting of September 8, 1970, recommended the repeal of Section 9273.1.7 of the Municipal Code which currently permits gasoline service stations in the S-l (Special Use) Zone as it found that good zoning practice justifies the removal therefrom. This date was scheduled for the hearing before Council. Mayor Butterworth declared the hearing open and no one desiring to speak to the matter the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Arth, seconded by Councilman Rage and carried unanimously. It was further MOVED by Councilman Arth, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried unanimously that the recommendation be SUSTAINED and that the Municipal Code be amended accordingly. - 2 - 11-3-70 I I CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CONTINUED p: e {j R , ", ". I", 19 :7735 The Planning Commission by Resolution No. 714 granted a conditional use permit to Arthur F. Giffis for permission to operate facilities at 125 E. Santa Clara Street for a garage and used car sales pursuant to conditions specified in said resolution. The Planning Director displayed projecturals indicating the subject Site is zoned M-l mixed commercial, industrial and residential property in the various directions; that there is 8145 sq. ft., of building area on a parcel of land comprising approximately 48 ,000 sq. ft. The applicant proposes to operate a garage for minor repair work of cars and trucks he purchases from institutional and public agencies and to sell used cars. He continued that the Commission felt the 'site is adequate and abuts streets and highways adequate in width and pavement to carry the type of traffic generated by the use. He noted that the applicant is protesting the conditions calling for a minimum 10' setback and the construction of a 3' ornamental masonry wall with a 3' high chain link fence on top of the wall. The applicant, Arthur F. Giffis, 278 Palm Drive, stated in part that the fad lities are to be used strictly for reconditioning and if cars are sold on the lot it would be entirely wholesale; his used car retail business would be transferred to one of his other locations; that there would never be more than 50 cars on the premises at one time with about 25 cars out in the open area, which would be lined up neatly. He stated further in part that he is buying the property and does not intend for the requested use to remain forever; that he hopes to rebuild or make some other use of it. He does not want to construct the sidewalk and landscaping as required but will if he must, however, he could not accept the 10' setback due to the shallowness of the lot (300' wide x 160' deep), and asked for reconsideration. Council expressed concern about its desire and endeavor to upgrad~ the appearance of the area and Mr. Giffis advised that he would not dismantle any vehicle and the property would not look like a wrecking yard. Upon suggestion, Condition 3 will read "A parking plan shall be submitted to the Planning Department for its approval and shall be complied with by the applicant." Glen Owens, 317 N. Lime Street, Monrovia, representing the broker in the transaction, explored the area and how difficult it has been to interest potential buyers due to City restrictions. He mentioned the existing 6' setback; also the old city jail building which is On the property. He noted that the applicant would be willing to work with a cultural society or wall off that portion of the land in order to preserve it if the City so desired. lhe possibility of a lesser setback met with some interest on the part of Council if shrubbery were to be planted in order to screen the cars coming in for reconditioning. The preservation of the old city jail also met with interest. Richard English, former owner of the subject property, advised that when he purchased the property the removal of the city jail was part of the agreement. Robert Rantz, 2010 Elkins Place, owner of industrial property close to the subject site, stated in part that when he developed his land he put in high quality landscaping and had to live with the setback, all of which has not brought him one bit of profit; that his interest in the subject matter is that he wants to see more industrial activity in the area and asked Council to reconsider the setback requiremento It was the consensus of Council that if the matter were delayed until the next regular meeting it would provide an opportunity to view the property and during the interim the applicant could provide the Planning Department with a diagram reflecting the parking pattern. (Matter will appear on the agenda for November 17). 11-3-70 - 3 - TRACT NO. 25207 TRUST ADJUSTMENT and STREETS ACCEPTED J /c r/:i 19 :7736 Upon recommendation of the Planning Commission it was MOVED by COuncilman Considine, seconded by Councilman Hage and carried on roll call vote as follows, that the trust amount in connection wLth Tract No. 25207 (extension of Wistaria Avenue) be adjusted to $5,223.50 based on the report of the Director of Public Works dated October 6, 1970; that the streets be accepted for maintenance.

He noted that this is in Some conflict with the normal policy of not removing healthy mature trees and referred to his report dated October 30. He suggested that if Council makes the determination to remove the trees that it not all be done at one time but on a staggered basis and that the cost in the removal, replacement and care be borne by the property owner. During the ensuing discussion it was agreed that a formula should be prepared for the removal, for instance, of not more than one in any group of four adjacent to each other in anyone year. (Formula to be kept on file for future reference). It was MOVED by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Arth and carried unanimously that the City Manager inform the property owners involved that the City will grant permission for the owners to remove at their own expense not more than one out of each group of four trees during anyone year; the owner to pay for a new street tree and maintain it in a manner to insure its growth.

Huntington Drive, to erect a tent to store Christmas trees during th~ month of December at the northeast corner of Huntington / Drive and Golden West Avenue. Conditions contained in the October ~:..:._.u28 report to be applicable. Council r~ceived the schedule for the formation of a consolidated lighting maintenance district along with a set of maps. Resolution of Intention No. 4164 scheduling a public hearing for December 1 adopted later in this meeting. On MOTION by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Arth and carried unanimously, the request of Joseph Steele for a continuation of the non-conforming use permit on property at 850 and 853 South Baldwin and 653 Fairview Avenue was APPROVED. It was noted by the owner of the property that due to the expiration date of the lease with a former tenant he could not negotiate with a new lessee until this time; that every effort is being made to locate a suitable tenant fo~ the same type of business (new and used automobile sales, including repairs). Iii Council had asked staff to submit a report on the feasibility of using some type of uniform container for the disposal of refuse. The City Manager submitted a report prepared by the Finance Director indicating that a uniform mobile cart would involve a substantial increase to the cost of refuse collection service to the consumer. Reference was also made to the use of plastic bags which would involve a somewhat smaller increase in costs. Frank Regan, 367 W. Camino Real, member of the City Beautiful Commission and on the Committee working on this particular project, referred to a mobile container which appears practical to the committee in an effort to make the City look more attractive from a trash pickup standpoint. Kenneth Norman President of the City Refuse Service Company, exhibited , and explained the working of a fibreglass mobile container which would hold approximately four barrels of trash which could if the need warranted be supplemented by the plastic bags, but not garbage cans or cardboard boxes and the like. The unit sells for $65 and could be purchased on a monthly basis; has a five year guarantee. He said through an extensive survey, this is the only unit available and capable of doing the job at this time. In explaining the program he said it would have to be city-wide and on a mandatory basis. His present vehicles ~ould not accommodate the new unit and he would have to give thought to their replacement. He stated in part that the company manufactu~ing and distributing the unit would assist in a public relations program if the City expressed interest. I Council eVinced interest in hearing more about the unit, costs, etcd' but agreed that the public should be fully informed from the start through public hearings and every other available avenue, whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Arth, seconded by Councilman Considine and carried unanimously that the City Beautiful Commission be requested to work with Mr. Norman for the purpose of at least further investigation and that the subject manufacturing company begin its program through the Commission and the Council for public education. This to be only a first step in analyzing the overall possibility. On recommendation of the City Manager it was MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman Hage and carried on roll call vote that a sum up- to $200 be made available for financial assistance in the Annual Awards -t-jDinner fo~ the 1971 Youth Safety Run. The City will act as Host this year.

Since the adoption of the budget increases have occu~red in costs and it may be that the budgeted figure will not be sufficient under normal procedures. He noted the possibility of joining Los Angeles County for the purchase of police cars as part of its overall bidding and purchasing program and perhaps save about $400 per unit. He submitted a report in this regard and recommended trying the method at least for one year. Richard Mackaig, 2218 Canyon Road, President of an automobile agency in an adjacent city, recited in part the concern among automobile dealers in the area as to the approach by the manufacturers to the retail aspect of the business. He made reference to pending suits and Other adverse possibilities which might affect fleet purchases. He a~ked that more investigation and study be made before entering into the proposed program and referred to the extensive service facilities and parts inventory the companies provide for the various jurisdictions purchasing their vehicles; that should the City purchase cars through the channel as proposed, the local car dealers could not take the same approach. He noted other areas of assistance and cooperation available when vehicles are purchased through automobile dealers direct. He asked for the opportunity to bid. Some discussion on the basic desire of Council to purchase locally when it is at all possible within a reasonable area of price~ Concern was also expressed that when a jurisdiction permits the County or State to perform a function of local government a little of its powers are taken away. However, it was agreed that the possibility of saving about $400 per car is too great not to try the arrangement on a one year's basis. It was MOVED by Councilman Arth, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried on roll call vote as follows, that twelve police units be purchased on a cooperative jid'basis with the County of Los Angeles with the stipula- tion that a comprehensive study be made to determine if, in fact, there has been a substantial savings. This is on a one time only trial basis and the City Manager will endeavor to obtain bids on an inquiry basis f~om independent dealers.

Livingston-Graham contends that the word "discontinue" means the same as "abandonll, and since they never intended to "abandon" that they are entitled to continue mining until the permit expires by its terms On December 6. The City Attorney explained that the dispute over the interpre- tation of the permit gives a basis for a compromise and recommended that Livingston-Graham be permitted to proceed with its excavation if they would agree to take reasonable steps to refill the pit after the mining operation is completed. The City Manager recommended that the 1/4 of 1% mLnLng tax be raised to 1% inasmuch as Irwindale and other similar communities have a 1% tax, and the Arcadia tax has not been changed since the early 60's.
