On MOTION by Councilman Arth, seconded by Councilman Rage and carried
unanimously the minutes of the adjourned regular meetings of November,
11 and 23 and the regular meeting of November 16, 1971 were approved.
/
On behalf of the Council, Mayor Helms accepted from architect
Marion Varner a certificate in recognition of superior achievement for
the design and professional excellence which the California Council of
the Society of Registered Architects had bestowed on Mr. Varner for his
entry depicting the proposed community recreation center. The
rendering will be on public display.
/
An a~plication for a lot split at the northwest corner of Santa Anita
Avenue and Foothill Boulevard had been filed concurrently with an
application for a conditional use permit to reconstruct a service
station and had been considered by the Planning Commission on October
26, 1971. The matter was continued by that body on that date until
November 9, 1971. The Commission denied the lot split but approved
the conditional use permit and its Resolution No. 757 was adopted.
The applicant, Atlantic Richfield Company, subsequently appealed the
decision for denial of the lot split and this public hearing was
scheduled.
The Planning Director explained that the action of the Commission ruled
out the possibility of additional commercial uses on the subject
corner without the matter first coming before the Commission for a
modification of che approved conditional use permitQ This was in an
effort to insure some measure of procection between the development on
the remaining vacant C-2 zoned property and the adjoining R-O, 30,000
sq. ft. zoned property. Council reviewed project urals indicating
surrounding improvements and were previously provided with staff
reporcs.
Mayor Helms declared the hearing open.
Tom Turner, Tate Associates of Anaheim, civil engineers working with
the applicant on projects, exhibited diagrams and stated in part
that the present situation is unique in that only half of the request
had been granted; that the existing statipn is outdated although it
has been located on the site for some time. At the time of land
purchase from the owners of the church to' the west it was rea lized

that the site was too small when one considers the requirement for a
10' dedication on Foothill Boulevard. Be noted the surplus land;
which they would like to be able to sel1would make the unit eco-
nomically feasible. Hence the application for a lot split without
which the surplus land could not be sold. He noted alternatives which
he asked Council to consider; leaving the key parcel as C-Z and C-O
on the L shaped lot with a stipulation that when development
occurred it would require a conditional use permit - thus insuring an
improvement which would be compatible with the surrounding residential
area.
I
Philip Smith, 28 W. Sycamore Avenue, read Section 5 of Resolution
No. 3230 dated January 26, 1960, referring to the zone variance granted
for the construction of a church at the corner location (where the
station now stands).. the intention was that when the station lease
was terminated the church would be built on the corner and the existing
church would be used as a study hall and classrooms. He felt the
residents had been compromised because the church did not continue with
its original plans.
Herbert Hawkins, 14 W. Sycamore Avenue, submitted letters of opposition
from residents in the area, and also chronologically explored the
background of the subject site and reference was again made to testimony
by the church that it intended to utilize the entire property once the
lease expired with the station; that it appeared to him that it is
unfortunate the transaction was made for the purchase of the property
by ARCO without first ascertaining if a lot split could be obtained.
He noted that the church now has neither ingress or egress from Santa
Anita Avenue which would create a traffic hazard on Foothill Boulevard.
He submitted that the residents are concerned about having sufficient
buffers between a C-2 use and the highest residential zoning permitted
in the city and felt some action should have been taken in this
regard.
Lynn E. Jackson, 120 W. Sycamore Avenue, owner of one of the lots west
of the church property on Foothill Boulevard, which thoroughfare she
felt is not conducive to residential development primarily due to the
traffic and noted a parallel street cannot be constructed. Comme~~ial
spot development was also opposed.
Oliver Green, 1305 Rodeo Road, asked that the decision of the Commission
be upheld; that the area does not need another station as it already
has three; that if the applicant has made poor judgment in its
acquisition perhaps it could sell the property and someone else could
come along who would develop the entire parcel into some type of
improvement compatible with the neighborhood.
Michael Haver, 39 W. Sycamore Avenue, spoke in opposition to the lot
split and to what occurs when zoning is not adhered to, i.e.} granting
the church the zoning on conditions which have not been followed in
this instance.
I
George Smith, 1120 San Carlos Road, asked that the Commission be upheld.
Charles Orr, 22 W. Carter, Sierra Madre, member of the church, stated
that they are very concerned about the lot split especially with what
would happen to the buffer zone. He noted that they had purchased the
church property under the assumption that the ingress and egress to
Santa Anita Avenue would remain and explored the traffic congestion
if there was only one driveway flowing into Foothill Boulevard. He
asked Council to deny the lot split as there is no guarantee that a
new owner of the property would not build an offending business in the
L shaped area. He also stated that the church would be willing to
hear the taxes or expenses in maintaining this road strip.

Tom Turner, in rebuttal, stated in part that even if the applicant sold
the property with its zoning any number of uses could go in without
having to go to the Commission or Council and noted several uses. That
when the property was purchased there were nO reservations for easements
or access; that an agreement could be worked out with the church to
continue the use of the road until the land is sold; that the church
could purchase the entire.L shaped parcel if it so desired; that the
applicant would be willing to landscape the area and noted that the
plans call for a 6' block wall adjacent to the property and the L
shaped part would also be isolated on both sides by a block wall.
This would protect the residents.
The hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by
Councilman Considine and carried unanimously.
Considerable discussion ensued wherein it was noted that the conditional
use permit granted by the Commission applies to the entire parcel and
whatever the applicant would propose for additional uses would have to
come back for modification of that permit. Council also explored the
need for an ordinance, which under circumstances such as this, would
permit the city to impose a conditional use permit on any given parcel
of property,
It was then MOVED by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman
Considine and carried on roll call vote as follows that the action of
the Planning Commission be sustained and that the appeal therefrom be
and it is hereby DENIED.

A petition for the installation of street lights on marbelite poles was
presented to the City Council on November 2, 1971. It was signed by
13 property owners on Callita Street west of Baldwin Avenue representing
62 percent of the 21 parcels thereon. The affected property owners
would be assessed 50 percent of the cost of installation, power and
maintenance. Each property owner's share is estimated to be $40 for
installation and $10 per year for power and maintenance
Mayor Helms declared the hearing open and the Director of Public Works
explained to William R. Mack, 748 W. Callita Street, the type of
lighting proposed. Mr.. Mack preferred mercury vapor.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Hage and carried unani-
mously.
Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman
Arth and carried unanimously that staff be authorized to proceed with
the installation as proposed.
,The City Manager explained that the proposed sale of city owned
property at the southeast corner of the intersection of Santa Anita
Avenue and El Dorado Street requires this public hearing. Mayor Helms
declared the hearing open and no one desiring to be heard the hearing
was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman
Butterworth and carried unanimously. It was then MOVED by Councilman
Hage, seconded by Councilman Butterworth and carried on roll call vote
as follows that there being no protests at this hearing and that the
property is not required for any public purpose, the sale of the land

The City Council on November 16, 1971 continued the recommendation of
the Planning Commission concerning the granting of a conditional use
permit for a garage at 86 W. Live Oak Avenue. During the interim the
Planning staff visited the site and examined the relationship of the
subject property to the properties outside the city, south of the site.
It was noted that there is a rolling chain link gate along the southerly
property line which could be made more attractive and provide Some
visual buffer through the use of redwood slats inserted in the chain
link fence or other similar screening techniques. Also that there is
an open fence between the property and the restaurant parking lot..
there is no through access between these two properties. Staff also
recommended visual screening along this property line as well.
It was MOVED by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Considine and
carried unanimously that the recommendation of the Planning Commission
in its Resolution No. 756 be RATIFIED; that the conditions specified
therein and those recommended by staff be part and parcel of the
approval of said conditional use permit.
The action of the Planning Commission in the granting of a conditional
use permit for an automobile service station at 7 W. Foothill Boulevard
(northwest corner of Santa Anita and Foothill Boulevard) was RATIFIED
on MOTION by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Considine and
carried unanimously - with the exception of Councilman Arth who
abstained from voting due to his business affiliation. NOTE: this is
the property referred to during the first hearing of this meeting.
Resolution No. 757 outlines the conditions.
The Planning Commission recommended the adoption of an ordinance making
present uses of property at the southeast corner of Colorado Boulevard
and Michil1inda Avenue and the buildings thereon non conforming - and
providing for the abatement of said uses and bui ld ings under certain
conditions specified in its Resolution No. 758 Council determined the
need for a public hearing in this matter and same was scheduled for
January 4, 1972. Pertinent material will be submitted Council prior
to said date.

Tom Turner, representing the Atlantic Richfield Company, asked for and
received clarification of the action taken by Council in the first item
on the agenda - that permission was granted for the reconstruction of
the station in accordance with plans which were submitted to the
Planning Commission - that anything further would have to go before
the Commission and Council again.
Earl Kramer, 119 LaPorte Street, commended staff on the improved noise
situation in his area, however noted several other situations which
will be looked into by staff.
Jane Milian, 129 La Porte Street, cited some annoying situations on the

Council received an informative report concerning a proposed industrial
waste ordinance by the Los Angeles County Sanitation District.
The staff report concerning truck routes on Duarte Road and on Campus
Drive will be studied by Council and the matter will be on the agenda
for the next regular meeting (December 21).
Council received a report from the City Manager and Director of Public
Works on the closure of Volante Drive which had been requested by the
residents on said street between Michillinda and Altura Road. Council
had authorized a temporary closing and staff evaluated the effect of
the closure on adjacent streets. The results of this as well as
traffic counts were included in the report. Staff recommended that
the street not be closed due to the increased traffic which would be
directed into adjacent streets.
Mrs. Edward A. Berry, 1167 Volante Drive explored incidents in the
neighborhood as a result of surrounding conditions. She spoke of the
Monrovia owned property on the west side of Michillinda which is not
maintained in a suitable manner, robberies which have occurred due
to the easy access from the parking lot of the so-called Eaton
property. She asked for relief from these conditions, and observed
that closure of the street might be the answer.
George Gallagher, 1147 Volante Drive, recited his experience before and
after the temporary closure, and asked that the street be permanently
closed.
Herbert Blasier, Jr., 1160 Volante Drive spoke to the traffic counts.
Robert Simmons, 1161 Volante Drive, also spoke to the problem brought
about by the Monrovia property and the vacant parking lot. He could
not see where the closure would place a burden on adjoining streets.
Jack R. Follmer, 1146 Volante Drive, felt the temporary closure was
effective, and noted the residents were willing to pay for the
permanent closure.
Discussion held on ways in which to alleviate the problems other than
the street closing. It was the consensus that additional traffic
counts be taken by staff and the matter was continued until the next
regular council meeting (December 21). The residents were assured
that Council is desirous of doing everything possible to improve the
situation.
The Arcadia Beautiful Commission recommended that seventeen additional
street refuse containers be placed at various bus stops within the
city. Staff submitted a report on the cost estimated to be around
$1200. Council felt it would be a step in the right direction and it

Mayor Helms reported that at a recent meeting of the Mayors of San
Gabriel Valley various problems facing the cities were explored -
including increasing County taxes and the feasibility of forming
a separate County was submitted. The advisability of participating
in such a study was considered. Although there were reservations that
such a formation would ever be consummated due to other pressures, it
was agreed that it would be a worthwhile endeavor to look into the
matter. It was.then MOVED by Councilman Butterworth,seconded by
Councilman Considine and carried unanimously that it be the sense of
this Council to express an interest in the possible formation of a new
County; that it deems it worthwhile to take steps in conjunction with

specific monetary appropriation.
