Mayor'Gilb introduced Max Fiddler and David Lister of Newcastle, Austral- ia, and Naze Clark of Belmont, a suburb of Newcastle. Newcastle is a Sis- ter City and they are visiting in the City and will make a presentation. Chairman of the Sister City Commission, Harl Crockett, explained the a- ward, the criteria of which is for a young person 15 - 20 ,years of age for excellence in the field of arts, civic pride, community activities and/or sports. The Commission felt that Mark Stephens more than fulfills the re- quirements with outstanding credentials. Mr. Stephens has a' 4.0 grade point average and will be Valedictorian for the 1981 graduating class of the Arcadia High School. He intends to follow a business career. Mr. Fiddler along with Mr. Lister made the award stating in part that the award is in appreciation for the hospitality they hav~ enjoyed when visiting Arcadia and although the token may be small it is hoped it wiil keep the youth of the two countries aware of each other. Mr. Crockett was thanked for keeping them in touch with the details of the nominees and also the City Council for this opportunity. Mr. Stephens expressed appre- ciation for the honor which he said might be deserved by many others .. he will cherish it for many years. His father and mother were introduced, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Stephens and his grandmother Lucy Stephens. Mayor Gilb asked Messrs. Fiddler and Lister to carry back appreciation to the Lord Mayor for all the work that is done by the Council in NewcaSltle. ,- Mayor Gilb explained the infield picnic of the Arcadia Tournament of Roses held at the Santa Anita Race Track annually at which a silent auction is held for a Mayor, Police and Fire Chiefs. This year Byron Lojeski, Mi- chelle Lojeski and Rebecca Denne were winners for Mayor, Police and Fire Chiefs respectively. Photographs were taken of each. In order to take the following item out of sequence on the agenda it was MOVED by Councilman Pellegrino, seconded by Councilman Saelid and carried that the provisions of the Procedural Ordinance be waived. Council received a report regarding a requested annexation of County terri- tory bounded on the north and east by Arcadia city limits, on the south by -1- 5-5-81 25:0278 Lemon Avenue and on the west by Temple City. Staff advised that the area contains 84 plus acres with approximately 1,310 residents and 551 dwelling units. The zoning is R-l and R-3 with the majority properties developed with single family dwellings. The various departments submitted connnents relating thereto. The Planning Department reported that out of 402 parcels only 31 meet the City's lot width, depth and area requirements. The size and configuration of the lots could lead to numerous modification requests if a property owner wanted to add on to an existing dwelling. The area is within the Temple City School District which will not change nor will the postal districts change should the annexation go through. Department of Public Works - reported that the anticipated annual cost to the City would be $19,079 - for sewer maintenance, street sweeping, tree maintenance, street lights and traffic painting. Recurring on an 8 to 10 I year cycle could amount to $15,142 ... with the total for the first year about $34,271. It was noted in the report that about half of the streets do not have curb or gutters, some have no gutters at all and some sidewalks are in need of replacement .. there would be an immediate liability "to the City upon annexation until all repairs are made. Estimated income from Gas Tax Funds, based on current allocations, would be $11,200 per year. Water is presently being served by the East Pasadena Water Company and it was noted in the Water Department report that the water rate charged by that Company is about 95% higher than the City of Arcadia. Fire Department report notes that the water main sizes for fire protection are a 4" and 6" .. the basic requirement for a residential area are 1500 GPM fire flow and fire hydrant spacing of about 500'. It was also stated in the report that the water deficiency along with inadequate hydrant cov- erage falls short of the minimum standards as reconnnended for fire protec- tion in Arcadia. The legal ramifications were explored in the report and it was stated that correction of the existing deficiencies would require several water main replacements and the installation of 12 fire hydrants. It was also stated that the department could serve the area and it was es- timated that the projected increase in fire protection would cost about $21,000 per year. Police Department indicated that based on the addition of about 1,310 residents the department would need two additional officers at about $51,246 for the first year. No additional vehicles or equipment would be necessary. Finance Department reported that the assessed valuation of the area is $5,963,450 ... based on the $4 rate and using the City's property tax rate plus State Fund revenues it is estimated the City would receive $23,854 for the fiscal year of 1981-82. The City would receive approximately $38,076 in State subventions and allocations which includes cigarette tax, highway users tax, motor vehicle license fees, off highway motor vehicles license fees and highway carrier uniform business license fees. Recreation Department indicated that the annexation would have little or no effect on the City's programs. I Mayor Gilb stated for the benefit of those in the audience who were inter- ested in the annexation that due to the pressure of government busines~ fa~- ing the City Council at this time - (budget sessions, labor negotiations and the like) - it had been suggested that this matter be held over until the regular meeting of July 7. It was so MOVED by Councilman Saelid, sec- onded by Councilman Pellegrino and carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES NOES ABSENT: Councilmen Dring, 'Haltom, Pellegrino, Saelid, Gilb None None -2- 5-5-81 I I HEARING McDonald's C U F APPROVED 25:0279 Councilman Dring noted that the dollar figures submitted by staff thus far do not indicate the revenue to be derived from the sewer service charges - also the utility users tax .. which could more than offset the dollar impact. He also referred to the water system and what would be the possibility and cost of acquiring the East Pasadena Water Company. Also what streets need to be dedicated to the City.. can some of them be left private. Councilman Haltom expressed concern about water pressure in order to pro- vide adequate fire protection .. he also noted the restrictions should a property owner want to add on to his home .. also the street lighting pro- cedures and any assessment therefor. He felt those wanting to be annexed should be aware of all the possibilities of costs and/or other problems. Councilman Pellegrino brought up the involvement of the County in this ... and felt the residents in the subject area should be advised on what route they should take .. and also that they should be apprised of any cost they would incur. Councilman Saelid stated in part that he felt the people realize that im- provements the City might require could certainly be an encumbrance on them ... requirements that perhaps Temple City would not require and cer- tainly the County has not required ... that with the substandard lot con- figurations in the area they might bring about more difficulties in terms of making more improvements to their existing homes .. with modification requirements and the like. That as Councilmen they have a responsibility to see that it doesn't place the City in a position where the annexation would cost the City money in the long run ... if it can be pencilled out so that it makes sense and some of the problems can be answered and the people desire to te brought into the City he could support it. Assistant Fire Chief Elder explained that the department went over the streets, looked at the homes, the private driveways, the streets .. and they saw no problem as far as making tactical attacks to fires .. the main problem was the water system ., the mains are very inadequate .. the mains are not contiguous to the streets .. and are in the majority only 4" size ... some streets do not have hydrants for as much as 1400 or 1500 feet apart. Although this is not a public hearing Mayor Gilb, with the consent of the Council, asked for those who would like to address Council in this regard. Edwin Jenkins, 9714 Ca1lita, in the County territory, spoke at length re- ferring in part to a petition which was filed with Arcadia May 5 with more than 400 signatures favoring the annexation; that according to the Sheriff's Department theirs is a relatively free crime area ... that the majority of the residents in the area shop in Arcadia ... that they will do whatever is necessary to become a part of the City and are more than willing to take on any slight increases in fees, assessments etc., to upgrade the property to the standards of Arcadia. Councilman Dring suggested that at the time this is considered the residents of the area have a cost analysis so they will know what the bottom line dollar cost would be - before they take the petition around to fill the le- gal requirement. CONTINUED - Appeal from Planning Commission's denial of an application for a conditional use permit to add a drive-thru facility and expand the freez- er area of the McDonald's eating establishment at 143 E. Foothill Boulevard. On April 21 this matter was referred back to the Planning Commission inas- much as a revised plan was submitted. The Planning Director advised that the Commission considered this plan and it was recommended for approval sub- ject to conditions spelled out in a report. Modification to allow an addi- tional 20+ sq. ft., per face to the existing free-standing sign was also recommended for approval. -3- 5-5-81 HEARING Tract No. 42202 Tentative Map APPROVED HEARING APPEAL Steele APPROVED 25:0280 Steve Frohling, 755 Singingwood Drive, with business at 143 E. Foothill Boulevard, responded to questions and said in particular that they have an opening on the east side, a new trash corral which would b~ very easi- ly picked up within the traffic flow by Best Disposal.. it would not con- flict with the traffic situation as long as they cane early enough. During this consideration Councilman Haltom said he would like to see the left turn only lane taken out and have a right turn only so it goes with the flow of traffic. Mr. Frohling said he will watch this and endeavor to work it out if it becomes a problem. No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Dring, seconded by Councilman Saelid and carried unanimously. It was MOVED by Councilman Saelid, seconded by Councilman Dring and carried I on roll call vote as follows that the Council find in favor of the appeal - that this is an appropriate improvement; that the City Attorney be directed to prepare a resolution in accordance with the staff report and the recom- mendations therein; also that the modification be granted to allow the addi- tional twenty sq. ft., per face to the existing free-standing sign. AYES NOES ABSENT: Councilmen Dring, Haltom, Pellegrino, Saelid, Gilb None None Planning CommiSSion recommendation concerning Tract No. 42202 proposing a ten-unit residential condominium at 1036 Fairview Avenue. Mayor Gilb declared the hearing open and no one desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Pellegrino, seconded by Councilman Dring and carried unanimously. It was MOVED by Councilman Saelid, seconded by Councilman Pellegrino and carried on roll call vote as follows that the tentative map of Tract No. 42202 be APPROVED subject to conditions. AYES NOES ABSENT: Councilmen Dring, Haltom, Pellegrino, Sae1id, Gilb None None Appeal by David and Louise Steele from Planning Commission denial of a modification request concerning sideyard setback for aviary and water fil- ter. It had denied a request for an existing aviary to be locatd 2' 0" from the easterly property line in lieu of 5' 0" required and for a request for a water filter for fish pond to be l' 6" from the westerly property line in lieu of 5' 0" required. Mayor Gilb declared the hearing open and Charles Chivetta, 101 E. Hunting- ton Drive, representing the applicants said that the filler is non-mechani- cal ... no permit was necessary when it was constructed in 1974 .. it has no moving parts ... cannot be seen from the street or adjoining properties and produces no noise which is not permitted by the City noise regulations. If they had been notified in the begi~ning that a permit was necessary they would not have constructed it in the said area. As to the aviary... it was purchased from the Buena Park Deer Park and was transported to their address .. it has not been used for aviary purpose at the subject address I ... the use is permitted by the Code it is located at the rear of the property... is not a fire hazard .. is open for storage of garden tools. It would create a problem to attempt to move it .. the encroachment is minor in nature and does not have an adverse effect upon the adjoining properties. He asked the City Council to favorably consider the appeal. SPEAKING IN FAVOR WERE: Tom Tierney Denis Weber Cassandra Sisterman Byron Fox 436 Sharon Road 410 Sharon Road 429 Los Altos 451 Los Altos -4- 5-5-81 I I ROLL CALL A R A RESOLUTION NO. 63 ADOPTED 25:0281 Roberta Reed, 458 Los Altos, spoke in opposition ,.. she would like to See the code requirements enforced ,.. that when irresponsible building occurs the rights of bordering properties are taken advantage of and forces neighbors to speak against nei.ghbors ... and creates a hostile environment, She continued in part - referring to the noise from the filter and that additional construction has taken place which has affect- ed the fair market price of her home. She asked at what point does the City's protection apply to her and her property.., she built on her prop- erty with the full knowledge that she must comply with city codes. In response to a ques tion Mrs. Reed s ta ted in part tha t she has lived there for 10 years and the filter has been there 7 years ... her kitchen is across the driveway from the filter and her patio is adjacent to the kit- chen. .. sha said the noise has gone down dramatically during the last few weeks .., Viuinla KonzellTllln, 445 Los Altos, said in part that people are attracted to Arcadia because of its high community standards " while there might be occasions when the code can be bent and no one is affected, however, this is not the case... that she knows the effect the conatruction has had on the Reeds' .. she would like to see the residents receive protec- tion of the law more automatically because requiring persona to speak at a public hearing can put a strain on neighborhood relations. In response to a question Mr. Chivetta said in part that the Steeles' would be willing to place baffles around the mechnical equipment. Mrs. Steele, 450 Los Altos, said in part she would rather move the aviary building than to take it down ... say four feet to the south. All of the neighbors signed in favor of the modification except the Reeds. No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Pellegrino, seconded by Councilman Dring and carried unanimous- ly. It was then MOVED by Councilman Saelid, seconded by Councilman Dring that the appeal be granted; that the request would secure an appropriate improvement and would prevent an unreasonable hardship; that the requested modifications be granted (B 6. C in report dated May 5) and that the appeal be granted. Councilman Saelid then commented in part that he would hope the process Council has available allows them to use a rule of reason in terms of what is reasonable and the code should in most instances be uphald, He has looked into this particular case and felt that if the filter had not been there for seven years, but was a new situation, he probably would have looked at it differently.. that during those seven yeers if it had been truly a hardship it would have been brought to Council at an earlier time .. as to the aviary it really would not accomplish anything to move it four feet. It was felt the Steeles would like to keep the noise down as much as possible for their own good as well as the neighbors. Roll call vota was then taken on the motion. AYES NOES ABSENT: Councilmen Dring, Haltom, Pellegrino, Saelid, Gi1b None None Tho City Council recessed in order to act as the ARCADIA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY PRESENT: ABSENT Members Dring, Haltom, Pellegrino, Saelid, Gilb None Member Dring presented, read tho title of Resolution No. ARA-63 entitled: "A RESOLUTION OF THE ARCADIA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY CERTIFYING REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION OF THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE EAST HUNT- INGTON DRIVE REDEVELOPMENT AREA, AND MAKING FINDINGS OF OVERRIDING CON- -5- 5-5-81 HEAR ING (May 19) CUP SCHOOL WORK ACCEPTANCE ENGINEERING OFFICES 25:0282 SIDERATIONS RELATING TO MITIGATION MEASURES AND PROJECT ALTERNATIVES AND APPROVING AND RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA ADOPT THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE CENTRAL REDE- VELOPMENT PROJECT", and MOVED that the reading of the full text be waived. Motion seconded by Member Saelid and carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES NOES ABSENT: Members Dring, Haltom, Pellegrino, Saelid, Gilb None None Member Saelid then MOVED for adoption. Motion seconded by Member Pelle- grino and csrried on roll call vote as follows: AYES NOES ABSENT: Members Haltom, Pellegrino, Saelid, Gilb Member Dring None I Member Dring said his reasons for opposing the adoption of, this resolu- tion are 1) that it is not entirely true in his opinion that the City needs a greater tax base as a result of Proposition 13; 2) that it is stated in the resolution that this development plan will be necessary to eliminate blight with which he does not agree and 3) he is not sure it will substantially increase sales tax revenue and transient occupancy tax revenues to the City and tax increment revenues of the Agency... that with the amount of dollars being put out he does not know that it is even a reasonable business decision. Member Saelid then commented in part that certainly this year the City is not in a situation where adopting this resolution is necessary.. and even if there were instantaneous development there it would not mean that it would keep the City out of difficulty.. however, all one has to do is to look at the neighboring communities, such as San Marino, which has limited commercial, and find that when Proposition 13 went through they found them- selves in dire straits .. that unless different legislation comes into be- ing Arcadia is going to be suffering from a lack of revenue .. sOmewhere downstream. Planning has to take place in advance .. he does not like the term 'blight' either but that is a term in accordance with California's Redevelopment Law. The Agency then adjourned to 7 p.m. May 11, 1981 in the Conference Room. Council reconvened. CONSENT ITEMS SCHEDULED hearing on Planning Commission resolution No. 1160, recommend- ing a zone change from PR-3 & D to PR-l for property located at 536 Las Tunas Drive for MAY 19, 1981. APPROVED Planning Commission Resolution No. 1161 granting a conditional use permit to operate a school in the church facilit~ at 225 E. Live Oak Avenue. I ACCEPTED work performed by Tennyson Pipeline Company in the installation of booster pumps and valves at the Orange Grove G and H facility. AUTHOR- IZED final payment pursuant to the terms of the contract. APPROVED the refurbishing of the drafing section of the Enginee~ing Divi- sion. Total cost would be $4,800 with funds from the Capital Improvement Project Budget for 1980-81. ALL OF THE ABOVE ITEMS WERE APPROVED ON MOTION BY COUNCILMAN SAELID, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN PELLEGRINO AND CARRIED ON ROLL CALL VOTE AS FOLLGlS: -6- 5-5-81 , PUMP CONTROL PANELS (EMERGENCY) (Project Design Authorized) I TENNIS COURT RESURFACING CONTRACT AWARDED I TRAFFIC ISLANDS (Old Ranch Road) Advertise for bids 25:0283 AYES NOES ABSENT: Councilmen Dring, Haltom, Pellegrino, Saelid, Gilb None None Request for approval of an expenditure to permit the modification of the pump control panels at the Santa Anita Booster and Canyon Booster Stations to provide necessary connections and switching to utilize a portable gen- erator set to supply electrical power to these pumps. This would allow the Water Department to plug in a portable trailer mounted generator set at each site to provide emergency power to pump water in the event of a prolonged power failure due to disasters such as fire or earthquake. Councilman Dring said in part that he was concerned about this item in- asmuch as there had not been any formal bidding process and it runs con- trary to the policy. The Water Manager explained that if Council desires to go to formal bidding it would have to authorize staff to solicit pro- posals from consultants to design the work and then to go the formal bid route. There would be an additional expenditure for an engineer to de- sign it. He said the only time frame is that they have it before the next fire hazard season. Councilman Haltom observed in part that how would one know unless it is designed by a qualified engineer that the firm submitting the proposal is necessarily engineering it to the City's specifications and in accordance with the electrical code ... he would also rather have more than one bid on projects ... that it is tremendously difficult for the City inspectors to inspect any technical piece of equipment. Councilman Saelid said in part that he too would feel a lot better if there were several bids ... however, it appears to be a relatively simple job and he would like to see Council proceed with it as he can foresee the project costing a lot more. Councilman Pellegrino agreed in part with Councilman Haltom, however, he also felt it would be more costly to go through the process of soliciting additional bids and having the project designed, he would support staff recommendation to proceed with the one proposal. Following additional discussion Councilman Haltom MOVED to AUTHORIZE the Water Manager to solicit bids for the design of this project and report back to Council. Councilman Dring seconded the motion which was carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES NOES ABSENT: Councilmen Dring, HaltoDl, Pellegrino, Saelid, Gilb None None Council received the report and recommendation concerning bids received for the resurfacing of tennis courts at Newcastle, Tierra Verde and Bi- centennial Parks. It was MOVED by Councilman Pellegrino, seconded by Councilman Haltom and carried on roll call vote as follows that a contract in the amount of $9,450 be awarded to RIECO, INC.,; that any informalities or irregularities in the bids or bidding process be waived; that the Mayor and City Clerk be AUTHORIZED to execute the contract in form approved by the City Attorney and that $11,000 be appropriated from Capital Im- provement Account to cover construction, engineering, inspection and con- tingencies. AYES NOES ABSENT: Councilmen Dring, Haltom, Pellegrino, Saelid, Gilb None None Council received and reviewed the plans and specifications for the recon- struction and landscaping of traffic islands in Old Ranch Road the work would consist of removing temporary curbs and pavement in the median islands, construction of concrete curbs, installation of street lights, automatic irrigation system and landscaping. -7- 5-5-81 GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE May 19 LOW WATER PRESSURE AREAS WATER RATE INCREASE APPROVED PLAN Bl 25:0284 It was MOVED by Councilman Saelid, seconded by Councilman Pellegrino and carried on roll call vote as follows that the plans and specifications be APPROVED and that the City Clerk be AUTHORIZED to advertise for bids for this project to be financed from Capital Improvement Project Funds. AYES NOES ABSENT : Councilmen Pellegrino, Saelid, Gilb Councilmen Dring, Haltom None Staff noted that as of June 1, 1981 the General Liability Insurance ex- pires; that quotations have been requested from Huntington Associates with whom the City has dealt for ten years and the Independent Cities Risk Management Authority of which the City is a member .... Sealed bids were received by the City Clerk. Following extensive discussion the City Clerk opened the bids and the Finance Director read the proposals I 1. Marsh-McGlennan representing the Joint Powers Authority $42.350 2. Huntington Associates 28,823.65 In order to check into the proposals this matter will be held over until the next regular meeting (May 19). Council accepted the additional information on the low water pressure areas. This is in addition to the report it received on April 7. No action. The Water Manager submitted a revised water rate projection based on modi- fication to the proposed Five Year Capital Program. Two proposals labeled Plan Bl and Plan B2 were reviewed. Plan "Bl" consists of a discontinuance of the minimum water allowance of 600 cubic feet effective July 1, 1981 (equivalent to a 12% increase in the average residential water bill); an increase in the minimum standby charge based on water meter size by 25% effective on July 1, 1982 (equiva- lent to a 6% increase in the average residential water bill); and a 30% water rate increase effective July 1, 1983. The combined effect of these three increases would be to increase the average water bill by $6.76 ev- ery two months after July 1, 1983, or an overall increase of 44%. Re- serves under this plan would average $405,000 over the five year period. Plan "B2" is a 30% water rate increase effective July 1, 1981. This in- crease would raise the average water bill by $3.42 every two months after July 1, 1981, for an overall increase of 22%. Reserves under this plan would average $680,000 over the five year period with very large reserves . being accumulated the first four years of the five year period. While both plans achieve the objectives of funding operational expenses and capital improvements while maintaining adequate reserves it was noted that Plan Bl avoids the very large reserves accumulated for the first few years under Plan B2, it allows for mid-stream adjustments in rate increases plan- ned for the next two years based on evaluation of actual reserves and needs I at that time, and would maintain a smaller deficit between revenue and op- erating expenditures at the end of the five year period, thereby requiring a smaller rate increase in the following years. It was MOVED by Councilman Saelid, seconded by Councilman Haltom and carried on roll call vote as follows that Plan Bl be APPROVED to be effec- tive JULY 1, 1981. This will be reviewed annually.

The Council in May 1980 adopted an ordi- nance (No. 1701) establishing the regulations for home occupations and in June of the same year adopted a resolution establishing a fee of $25 for the processing of an application. Staff recommended a renewal fee of $5. Councilman Sae1id MOVED to TABLE this matter. Councilman Pelle- grino seconded the motion which was carried unanimously. The recently completed sewerage system capacity analysis prepared by the Boyle Engineering Corporation lists eight areas in need of relief lines. Project priorities and way of financing the improvements were explored. Cost is estimated to be $614,000. Funding options, Project priorities and recommendations were set forth in staff report dated May 5. It was the consensus that this matter be considered as Council reviews the budget for the ensuing year. The City Attorney presented for the second time, explained the content and read the title of Ordinance No. 1718, entitled: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA AMENDING SECTION 9255.1.5 OF THE ARCADIA MUNICIPAL CODE TO AUTHORIZE LIMITED IMPROVEMENTS TO NONCONFORMING SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLINGS IN THE R-3 ZONE".
