Dr. Jerry G. Elliott, Village Presbyterian Church Mayor Pro Tempore C. Robert Arth PRESENT: ABSENT: Councilmen Butterworth, Helms, Scott, Arth Mayor Hage On MOTION by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried unanimously the minutes of the regular meeting of June 6 were APPROVED. Mrs. Charles Beatty, Chairman uf the Arcadia Beautiful Cummission, stated in part that each year the Los Angeles Beautiful Commission accepts nominations for awards in its annual contest. This year Arcadia was nominated and won the Nursery Growers Association of California trophy for the most outstanding consistent quality in the use of plant material in the medium strips, green belt and other open spaces such as parks, parkways and street tree planting. Also mentioned was the City's legislative program for zoning regulations requiring beautification of commercial and industrial areas and the property maintenance now being considered by Council. Council accepted the trophy with appreciation. The City Manager advised that only one Joint Memorandum of Agreement had been signed and that with the Arcadia Firefighters' Association. A Resolution to that effect is included in the agenda for this evening. Councilman Butterworth stated in part that in his judgment these Agreements should be submitted to Council before they are executed; that they should be entered into very carefully and in order for the interests of the taxpayers and the employees to be protected he suggested that this become a matter of policy. He then MOVED that henceforth the City Manager and all City officials be directed to present any Memorandum of Agreement between employee organizations or any third party whom-so-ever to the City Council prior to the execution of such agreement by an agent or representative of the City. Councilman Scott seconded the motion. Discussion ensued and due to the expressed desire on the part of some of the Council members for more time to study policy procedures, it was MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman Scott and carried unanimously that the primary motion made by Councilman Butterworth and seconded by Councilman Scott be TABLED until the next regular meeting of JULY 5. The Planning Director explained that inasmuch as the division of two lots into three at the northwest corner of Baldwin Avenue and Val Street will be substandard in terms of area Council approval is required. He noted the Planning Commission recommended approval subject to the applicant receiving from the City an 8' strip of right- of-way land on Baldwin Avenue near the intersection of Val Street. The 6-20-72 - 1 - PROCEDURAL ORDINANCE WAIVED ;RESOLUTION , NO. 4268 ADOPTED flONDITIONAL /USE PERMIT (Hearing Scheduled) 19:8085 Robinson Bros. made the application on behalf of the owners. Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried unanimously that the recommendation of the Commission be SUSTAINED and that Council APPROVE the lot split pursuant to the specified requirement. In order to consider the following item the prov>s>ons of the Procedural Ordinance were WAIVED on MOTION by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Scott and carried unanimously. The City Attorney presented, explained the content and read the title of Resolution No. 4268, entitled: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA DECLARING ITS INTENTION TO VACATE A PORTION OF BALDWIN AVENUE NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF VAL STREET." I It was MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman Butterworth and carried on roll call vote as follows that the reading of the full body of the resolution be WAIVED and that the same be ADOPTED. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Butterworth, Helms, Scott, Arth None Mayor Hage Planning Commission Resolution No. 783 recommended approval of the application of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Firth, owners and operators of the Montessori School at l406 South Santa Anita,Avenue for a conditional use permit to allow the construction of two additional classrooms and an increase in the enrollment of pupils from the present 50 to a maximum of 95 subject to all conditions specified therein. Projec- turals were reviewed indicating surrounding improvements and the plot plan for the proposed changes. Responding to questions the Planning Director stated in part that the property could still be used as R-l and converted into a residence at any time. It was also noted that there have been no formal complaints about the operation of the school, however, a few residents in the subject area have complained about the traffic generated by the school. Councilman Helms said he has noticed the traffic caused by pupils being taken to and from the school and also expressed concern that the pro- posed additions could restrict a possible future use of the premises as R-l. He also felt the unlighted 4' square sign to be attached to the building would create a commercial atmosphere and that in the beginning the school was looked upon as an experiment and a small type of project. He was not very much in sympathy with the proposed expan- sion. NOTE: Later in the meeting the attorney for the applicants said his clients would be willing to waive the sign if Council so desired. He also asked if the pool could be filled at this time - that the owners already have a contract and would like to go ahead regardless of the decision as to its expansion. He was advised they could take out the permit. Councilman Butterworth also agreed that from a practical standpoint the property could probably never be used again as R-l and recalled objections when the conditional use permit was first granted. However, it appeared that they have been good neighbors and noted the lack of opposition when the application for expansion was before the Commission. He would be inclined to accept the recommendation of both the Planning Commission and the Planning Department with the understanding that it is on a conditional use permit basis and the permit could be terminated if the situation should so warrant. I Councilman Scott stated in part that he has watched the development of this private school operation for some time and has never noticed anything that would make him feel it is anything but a well operated school in a manner compatible with the surrounding area and noted that it is immediately adjacent to a public school. He would support the 6-20-72 - 2 - HEARING FOR JULY 5 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT RATIFIED I f:G'IP ZONING (' ORDINANCE AMENDMENT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FEE HEARING .; CONTINUED 19:8086 application if it were possible to delete Item 4 Page 28 of the subject resolution concerning the sign. Mayor Pro Tempore Arth submitted that it appears the matter should go to a public hearing in order for the residents in the area and the applicants to be heard. Whereupon a hearing was scheduled for JULY l8. NOTE: This was later changed to JULY 5 on request of Fred Kennedy representing the applicants. The Planning Commission by its Resolution No. 784 granted a conditional use permit subject .to.specified conditions to C?rl.and Elizabeth Reinhardt to operate a brake repair shop at l5-2l Flower Street. It was noted that the subject property is zoned M-l and contains an industrial building. During the discussion Councilman Scott expressed concern about whose responsibility it would be for seeing if conditions of approval were being followed and referred specifically to the parking of cars outdoors when all automotive work is to be done within the enclosed building. Councilman Butterworth stated in part that all conditional use permits are granted subject to conditions; that they are mostly self-policing and if violations occur they are usually brought to the attention of Council through citizen complaints or by periodic inspections of the building inspectors. Councilman Butterworth then MOVED to RATIFY the action of the Commission in its Resolution No. 7~Motion seconded by Councilman Scott and carried unanimously. Council scheduled a public hearing for JULY 5 on Planning Commission recommendation that the zoning ordinance be amended to permit clubs, fraternities and similar groups in any zone on a conditional use permit basis - Resolution No. 785. In order for the interested groups to have sufficient time to study the proposed fee schedule and in response to the request of Ben Course on behalf of the Realty Board, it was MOVED by Councilman 'Helms, seconded by Councilman Scott and carried unanimously that the HEARING be continued to JULY l8. HEARING REMAINS OPEN. Council received the recommendations of the Recreation Commission concerning the development of small parks - two on school property at the Highland Oaks and Santa Anita Schools, and on City Water Department property on Orange Grove Avenue. A recommendation was also submitted for the retention of a park planner for the development of city owned :3- /53 property at the southeast corner of Camino Real and Second Avenue. ~ n It was determined that a public hearing should be held in order to ~~~apprise the residents of what is being contemplated at the sites, and 1 ~~ also to provide an opportunity for Council to hear their viewpoints. TENTATIVE DATE AUGUST l, 1972. PROPOSED PARK DEVELOPMENTS (HEARING SCHEDULED) :j-/'J.6'J.. Council expressed a desire to review preliminary renderings on the proposed parks for school property and on the City Water Department ~q ~~~ property, whereupon Roger Lieb projected sketches prepared with ~c ._~ ~ specific play equipment for the individual areas. It was noted by the /~~v~ . City Manager that school personnel as well as the P.T.A. were in favor of the parks on school property. Mr. Lieb submitted preliminary cost figures for the projects which were above the City's budget estimates, Council asked staff to provide figures which were previously projected for these developments. I During the interim the Recreation Commission will give the matter further consideration and submit a more definitive recommendation to Council along with a priority list and staff will obtain tentative architect's fees and the like and submit alternatives to Council so there may be a choice. 6-20-72 - 3 - . 19:8087 AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Mrs. Edward Passmore, 50l Santa Cruz Rd., expressed concern that trucks were using Colorado Boulevard and asked for some restricted area signs. Staff will investigate. In response to a question from Mrs. Passmore the City Attorney stated in part that the City does not have an ordinance relating to side and rear yard maintenance respon- sibility; that weeds and refuse on private property have come under a State Law for many years, a copy of which will be sent to Mrs. Passmore. Mrs. Jerry Burnett, 2025 Vista Avenue, President of the Highland Oaks P.T.A., spoke in favor of the park development proposed for that school. Mrs. Lloyd Hopf, 275 W. Foothill Boulevard, spoke in favor of the proposed parks and stated in part that she had permission from the Rancho Santa Anita Home Owners' Association to speak on its behalf also. I Mrs. Ruth Demeron, 3659 San Pasqual, Pasadena, speaking for the League of Women Voters, expressed the hope that students should be oirected to an understanding of the complete environmental cycle. She could foresee help in this direction with the park proposed for the city water site. R. E. Baker, 224 E. Camino Real, spoke to the proposed park for Camino Real and Second Avenue, stating in part that the residents in the neighborhood do not want this park and referred to an opposing petition filed in April. He asked for details about the type of park contemplated. He was advised to attend the forthcoming meetings of the Recreation Commission in order to be totally familiar with the project. Walter Landor, l654 Rodeo Road, spoke to the proposed property main- tenance Grdinance No. l452 stating in part that a number of the residents were concerned about this legislation and asked that it be held in abeyance for at least 90 days. This would provide an oppor- tunity for the residents to become more informed. He noted specific sections including procedure for appeal. He felt the appeal period should be 90 days instead of the proposed 30 days. The responsibility for enforcement was also questioned,. D' STREET r . CLOSURES APPROVED The requests of residents residing on Sandra Avenue and on Wistaria Avenue (between Holly and El Monte) for permission to close the streets on July 4 between 2 p.m., and II p.m., for a block party was considered. The participants would pay a $25 fee to the city for assistance in hauling barricades to and from the sites. It was MOVED by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Helms that the requests be APPROVED subject to conditions set forth in the staff report dated June l6. Speaking to the $25 fee Councilman Scott submitted that he felt this should be performed by the city without the- fee, that it was a good community activity, and he MOVED to waive the requirement of a fee.

(Help Our Youth) Chairman Robert Ellison, stated in part that the request for financial assistance in the amount of $2,l85 is an unmet cash need for the pilot program of the organization formed to help young people in the city who have emotional disturbances, drug-related problems, medical needs and the like. After the pilot program period of three months he said it would be possible to then know what the problems are and if there is a need for this kind of assistance. During the deliberations Council indicated its willingness to assist on a temporary basis such a program which appears to be commendable, however it would not want to commit itself to continuing the financial aid, and noted the other numerous worthy organizations which need help, however, in order to aid in its pilot program it was MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman Butterworth and carried on roll call vote that the sum of $2,l85 be appropriated from the Council Contingency Account for said organization.

He suggested that the vendor proposed for the award of contract for the new carpeting be required to include a warranty and that the City Attorney review the contract of two years ago to ascertain whether or not such a warranty was given. I Councilman Scott suggested using some of the available testing laboratories in the future and expressed concern as to the position of the city with regard to the bids received if a warranty were not required in the initial call for bids. It was the consensus of Council that the matter be reviewed in its entirety for report back. It was then MOVED by Councilman Butterworth that the primary MOTION BE TABLED. Councilman Helms seconded this motion which was carried unanimously.

He stated in part that a great deal of study and consideration was given to this ordinance and that it is at least a start in endeavoring to cope with a problem that has needed attention for quite some time; that it can be modified to accommodate changing circumstances and needs; that if during its enforcement there are inequities apparent they can always be alleviated by further action of the Council. Councilman Scott submitted that in his discussions with the citizens it has become clear to him that this type of regulation is needed; that during the many deliberations changes have been made.

It has received encouraging support in Committee and has been put over for two weeks for the revamping of some of the more technical language of the bill princi- pally relating to bonded indebtedness and services coverage. In response to an inquiry by Councilman Scott he advised that the city has not taken any position on the matter of the formation of a new county - that an endeavor is being made in order that a feasibility study may be undertaken; that is the extent to which Council has acted. I Councilman Scott then submitted the possibility of citizens pre- ferring to retain the present County and to rebuild it instead of literally forming a new county. He was assured that once the bill passes then consideration may be given to all alternatives and that in any case it will eventually take a vote of the people.
