PUBUC HEARINGS The Community Development Administrator stated that this year the City will receive approximately $345,000 In Community Development Block Grant Funds for fiscal year 1995- 96.

No one desiring to be heard. the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councllmember Lojeskl seconded by Councilmember Kuhn and CARRIED. It was MOVED by Councilmember Lojeskl. seconded by Councllmember Kuhn and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows to APPROVE the allocation of funds as outlined In the Cost Summary dated January 17. 1995; and AUTHORIZE the City Manager to execute the Memorandums of Understanding to be submitted to the County at a later date. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: CouncUmembers Chang, Kuhn. LoJeskl. Margett and Young None None Consideration of an appeal of the Planning Commlsslon's denial of Modification MP 94.012 & Architectural Design Review ADR 94.014 for a three unit residential condominium project at 758 Falrvlew Avenue (Applicant/Appellant: Eric Friedman). The Planning Commission at Its December 13. 1994 meeting voted 4 to 3 to deny the request for Modifications and an Architectural Design Review for the proposed project. The applicant appealed this decision, The property contains 13.208 square feet It Is unusually narrow with 48.9 feet of frontage on Falrview Avenue. and 270 feet of d8plb. The oroperty Is zoned R-3 which I 2 t/17/95 I & ADR 94- 014 (758 Falr- view) (APPROVED) I I 37:0013 would allow a maximum densily of six units on the site based upon the code requirements of I unit per 2,000 square feet of lot area. The site Is surrounded by multiple family developments with the exception of an adjacent lot to the east which Is developed with a legal non-conforming single family residence. The proposed condominiums will be two story on-grade units. The front structure Is a duplex and there will be a detached unit to the rear. Each unit has approximately 2,000 square feet of living area. Access Is provided by a 12'-6" wide driveway along the easterly property line. The applicant Is requesting the modifications which are outlined In the January 17, 1995 staff report. The proposed modifications are typical for three unit developments and the narrow lot width necessitates most of the modifications which have been requested. There are only nine other lots with similar widths In this area. The architectural design is consistent with other projects in the area. and will be visually harmonious with the surrounding developments, and does comply with the City's criteria for multiple family projects. The Planning Commission felt that approval of the modifications would not secure an appropriate Improvement. Those voting In opposition felt that the architectural design would not enhance the visual environment of the Cily, and that the landscaping would not provide a pleasant setting for adjacent structures or for other neighboring properties. Mayor Young declared the public hearing OPEN. Eric Friedman, applicant, 9440 Calstar, EI Monte, staled, in part. that from an economic standpoint, the project Is not feasible as a two unit project. However, most of the modifications, Including the driveway, would have been required if the project had been proposed for two units. It Is his understanding that development on any lot less than 70' In, width in that area would require approval of some modifications. A single unit and a duplex currently exist on this property, so he will not be changing the situation that presently exists on the site; just upgrading to a newer development. It Is his Intention to make the site as attractive as possible. In response to a question from Councilmember Margett, Mr. Friedman stated that he had attempted 10 purchase the neighboring property without success. No one else desiring to be heard, the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilmember Lojeski seconded by Councilmember Kuhn and CARRIED. Councilmember Lojeskl stated, In part. that this Is an appropriate development and an aesthetic improvement for that area. The discrepancy In width amounts to only 13.2 Inches. The applicant Is not responsible for this lot somehow being set aside at 48.9 feet. The Cily Attomey' has stated that this Is not a precedent setting item. Council needs to look realistically and logically at these types of processes and projects. Mayor Young thought this project would be a very adequate Improvement for the area. Mayor Pro tem Chang stated. In part. that the Planning Division had suggested modifications which they feel will be met by the developer. If Council only approves a two-unit development, it would cause economic hardship to the developer. Further. the design looks like it wUl be a very nice project. and he agrees with the Cily Attorney that this development would not set a precedent. He will vote to approve the project. It was MOVED by Councllmember Lojeskl. seconded by Mayor Pro tem Chang and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows to SUSTAIN the appeal of the Planning Commission decision regarding MP ~12 and ADR ~14; FIND that the proposed Modification requests would secure an appropriate Improvement, prevent an unreasonable hardship, and promote uniformily of development; and FIND that the proposed design Is consistent with 3 1/17/95 MARGETT (Rotary of La Verne Conf,at Caltech) (Wilderness Park Flood Danger) (I ncreased Utiliza- tion of Cable TV) CHANG (Flood Damage) (Small Bus. Owners Confer- ence) 37:0014 the City's Architectural Design Review criteria; and MOVE for APPROVAL of the project subject to the conditions set forth In the staff report dated January 17, 1995. I AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmembers Chang, Kuhn, Lojeskl. Margett and Young None None Mayor Pro tem Chang commented that he had received a communication from Mr. Friedman which seemed to indicate that there was a slight misunderstanding on the developer's side regarding the Planning Department's recommendations to the Planning Commission and the City Council which would assure approval of the project. However, that Is not the case because the uitlmate decision Is made by the Commission and the City Council. In this case, the Planning Department did everything to help the developer. Moreover, ij developers follow the suggestions of the Planning Department, it could be helpful In securing approval of the project. MATTEPS FROM ELECTED OFFICiALS Councilmember Margen stated that the Rotary Oub of La Veme Is sponsoring a seminar to be held on February 25, 1995 at Caitech In Pasadena. This should be an exceptional conference In that they have Invited the Chairman of the Russian Parliament who will be speaking in regard to Russian-American Chambers of Commerce, Partners In Peace, Rivals, etc. Other world,renowned dignitaries will also be present, Indudlng several Professors of Political Science from our local universities who will speak about U. S. Politics toward China,. Japan and Korea; Mexico and latin America and Current Economic Problems; the Bosnian quagmire; Search for Peace In the Middle East, etc. Councllmember Margett Is presenting this Information because he feels that a conference of this caliber should be supported. I In response to a question from Councilmember Margett, staff replied that, according to information from the County Public Works Department, there has been no unusual discharge of water or flooding from the dam which Is situated above Wlldemess Park. There is no risk at this time. Councilmember Margett suggested that the cable television might be utilized to increased advantage, I e., to televlse pictures of areas under Council consideration, such as the Fairview Avenue project discussed earlier. Such an upgrade would be an enhancement for the viewing public. The City Manager responded that the necessary equipment Is now available to the City as well as the School District, and this proposal and others are being explored. Mayor Pro tem Chang commented that although Arcadia did not suffer as much as some other cities during the recent rainstorms, some damage had been reported by the Fire Department, and steps have been taken for protectlon of property and welfare of Arcadia citizens. The Fire Department should be complimented on an excellent Job. Mayor Pro tem Chang encouraged small buslness owners to attend upcoming conferences concerning small businesses. The White House conference addressing State level concerns is to be held at the Los Angeles Century Plaza Hotel on March 14; the National level conference Is to be held in Washington, D. C., June 11-15. Small business owners may attend these meetings to express their dissatisfaction with the State or Federal law or any other concerns. Applications for these conferences will be available at City Hall. I 4 1/17/95 I I I KUHN (Japan Earthquake) LOJESKI (Arcadia Beaut. Comsn. Appt.)

Japan after the devastating earthquake those ctties suffered. This occurred one year after the CalWomia Northrldge earthquake, so we can all relate to that damage and loss of me. , I . '. ; 't t: .; . \ f . .' Council member LOjeskl siated that he met last week wtth the Arcadia Beautiful Commission. and he would like to place the matter of appointment of a new Commission member on the next Council agenda. At that time. he would like to see all of the applications which are on file for that particular Commission. The Commission was grateful for the opportunity to have some input. The duties of the Arcadia Beautiful Commission have increased recently due to the Arbor Day celebration. and the fact that they are now also the City Tree Commission. There has not been a great tumover of members; two members recently moved from the City and had to resign; members Grant Parsons and Mln Mey Chang resigned after a couple of meetings. But basically. they have not had difficulty retaining their membership numbers. Council member Lojeskl stated that he had been notified that, following a survey by the Police Reserve Officers and members of the Police Explorer Post. tt had been determined that the "no parking" signs could be removed from some streets in the Falrvlew Avenue area. He had commented on this at a previous Council meeting. It is his understanding that the signs were originally provided by Santa Anita Race Track and that they are to be removed and stored In the event they are needed in the future. However. tt has come to his attention that Pollee ticketing for parking violations Is continuing In this area. Since the decision was made to remove the "no parking" signs. he would like to see this sttuation rectified with expediency. Councllmember Lojeski referred to a recent memorandum from the City Manager regarding a proposed meeting between the Council and Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael Antonovlch. He requested the City Attomey's Interpretation of the Brown Act as to whether or not this would constttute a violation. The City Attomey stated that he will provide a reply tomorrow. Mayor Young thanked the Councllmembers who attended the recent performance of the Young Talent Stars from Newcastle, Australia. The group seemed to have a good time In Arcadia, and also presented performances at other locations such as Knotts Berry Farm, and Disneyland. CITY COUNCIL RECESSED IN ORDER TO ACT AS THE ARCADIA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY PRESENT: ABSENT: Agency Members Chang, Kuhn, Lofeskl. Margett and Young None On MOTION by Agency Member Lojeskl. seconded by Agency Member Kuhn and CARRIED the minutes of the regular meeting of January 3, 1995 were APPROVED. 5 1/17/95 CLOSED SESSION 1. MINUTE APPROVAL (Dec,8.1994) (Jan,3.1995) (APPROVED) 2, ADVERTISE FOR BIDS (Newcastle Park Handball Court Earthquake Damage Repair - Job No. 599) (APPROVED) 37:0016 The Agency General Counsel stated that a CLOSED SESSION will be held at the end of the City Council meeting. "pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.8 the Redevelopment Agency will meet to confer wtth Agency real property negotiators regarding Instructions concerning the possible sale or lease ofthe Agency-owned real property located at the Southwest corner of East Huntington Drive and South Second Avenue, (154-170 East Huntington). Negotiations are wtth Thomas Shannon Outback Steak House". The meeting adjourned to February 7, 1995 at 7:00 p. m. I' CITY COUNCIL RECONVENED CONSENT ITEMS APPROVED the minutes of the City Council/Arcadia Unlfled School District Joint meeting of December 8, 1994 and the minutes of the January 3,1995 regular meeting. THE ABOVE CONSENT ITEM WAS APPROVED ON MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM CHANG. SECONDED BY COUNClLMEMBER MARGETT AND CARRIED BY GENERAL CONSENT. Consideration of report and recommendation for authorization to advertise for bids for the Newcasde Park Handball Court Earthquake Damage Repair Project - Job No. 599. . Councllmember Lojeski noted that two water storage tanks are situated on Second Avenue. The larger of the two tanks Is structurally sound with regard to earthquake standards. The smaller tank requires some rehabilitation, or there Is the possibility that It may be moved to another stte. At one time, there was preliminary discussion about the possibility of moving the smaller water tank to the Newcasde Park area and reestablishing the handball courts on top of the submerged tank. If the City now undertakes repairs to the handball court, are we removing the possibility of moving the water tank? The City Manager responded that there had been discussion of moving the water tanks from the Sl Joseph plant to Newcastle Park when the COSTCO project was being discussed. The Water Manager was of the- opinion that we might be able to reconstruct the existing older tank or relocate tt onto some adjacent property by re-conflgurlng the system. That will now be part of a Master Plan analysis for the entire water system. If the City does the Newcastle Park handball court project, there Is no slgn~lcant loss to the General Fund, since the City Is being reimbursed In the amount of $30,000 from FEMA and the State. If the Master Plan suggests that we may use the Newcastle Park site, then the entire property will have to be reconstructed. not just the handball court. The earthquake damage was sustained a year ago, when considering a Master Plan. If Council decides to use the site, the City will have received a year's worth of play without any significant use of City funds to rehabilitate. It was MOVED by Councllmember Lojeskl, seconded by Councllmember Marget! and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows to AUTHORIZE the City Clerk to advertise for bids for the Newcastle Park Handball Court Earthquake Damage Repair Project, Job No. 599. 1 AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councllmembers Chang, Kuhn, Lojeskl, Marget! and Young None None 6 1/17/95 1 'I 3. CONTRACT AWARD (Rebuild Nat.Gas Engine Peck Rd, Plant (APPROVED) 1 4. CONTRACT EXTENSION (Three Mo,) (Real green Gardening, Inc,) (APPROVED) 37:0017 Consideration of report and recommendation for the award of contract for the rebuilding of the natural gas engine at the Peck Road Plant. Mayor Pro tem Chang inquired how long the rebuilt engine would last. The Water Manager responded that this engine had been in continuous operation for sixteen years and two years of backup service prior to this time. In 1992 at the time the electric motor was Installed at the well, the natural gas engine was placed In standby to provide backup power In case of a power outage. Therefore, this engine will only operate, if electrical power Is lost. This particular engine in this mode could last twenty to thirty years on a rebuild. Councilmember Margett noted that the engine has lasted for over one hundred thousand hours of use - or less than one dollar an hour to rebuild. In his opinion, if only 80% of the previous operation time is obtained on a rebuild, ~ is still a good deal. It was MOVED by Councilmember Margett, seconded by Mayor Pro tem Chang to AWARD a contract In the amount of $104,263.34 for the rebuilding of the natural gas engine at the Peck Road Plant to PAMCO/Stewart & Stevenson and AUTHORIZE the City Manager to execute said contract in a form approved by the City Attorney, AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Council members Chang, Kuhn, Lojeskl, Marget! and Young None None Council member Lojeskl noted that this ~em had been discussed, approved and funds budgeted when the FY 1994-95 Water Facility Replacement Fund was approved This Is merely the paper work.

The City Charter states that there shall be a City Manager Pro tempore. It does not say there shall be an Assistant City Manager.

Bill was very active with our Senior Citizens' Commission; he was on the Commission for a good many years. He simply volunteered In a lot of good programs in the City. He was well known around Methodist Hospital and was one of the gentlemen who pushed wheelchairs, and just kind of did anything that was necessary. He was one of the founders of the program where some retired gentlemen In the community donated their services and said, 'Hey, K we've got Pink Ladles going around Methodist Hospital, how about some of us fellows who can service the hospital and donate our services', Bill was also really a supporter of the Red Cross here In Arcadia and particularly was concerned about earthquake safety. He took on as his little project the concern about what happens with your gas lines K there Is a major earthquake; and how to turn the gas off and on and everything else. A gentleman like this who has donated and given so much to the City of Arcadia will be missed. Again, In the form of memory, at tonight's meeting, I would like to honor William Harper Dillon".
