CITY ATTORNEY
The City Attorney announced that, "the City Council met in a
CLOSED SESSION this evening pursuant to Government Code
Section 54956.9(a) to discuss the existing lawsuit of Clarke
vs. City of Arcadia. Additionally, pursuant to Government
Code Section 54957, a personnel matter was discussed".
Consideration of an appeal to the Planning Commission's denial
of MP 92-001, modifications for a proposed 3-unit apartment
building project located at 15 Genoa Street (Nimer Y. Matta,
appellant/owner/developer). The Planning Commission at its
February 11, 1992 meeting voted to deny the requested
modifications for a three unit apartment building on a 50 foot
wide lot at 15 Genoa Street. It was the consensus of the
Planning Commission that the granting of the request for
modifications would not secure an appropriate improvement
because the plans did not conform to the R-3 zone side yard
setbacks, landscaping and driveway requirements, The
requested modifications in this project are the same that have
been previously granted for similar proj ects, according to
staff. The Planning Department recommends approval of the
requested modifications subject to conditions outlined in the
staff report dated March 3, 1992.

Mayor Gilb declared the hearing OPEN,
Nimer Matta, 1679 Alta Oak Drive, appellant/owner/developer,
stated, in part, that he had acquired the property at 15 Genoa
Street in 1989 in spite of the fact that it was a poor
location, i, e., next to a meat market where large delivery
trucks with refrigerator units running all night are parked
next to the property, Also, it is a small piece of property
when considered for development, He had two options (1) a 3-
unit apartment buildin~: and (2) an 8-unit condominium with
a subterranean parking s:ructure, He had decided to build the
apartment building for a number of reasons, principally
because the property is a poor location and it is easier to
rent apartments than to sell condominiums, and also for
financial reasons. In order to proceed with the apartment 'I
development on this small lot. it was necessary to secure a
number a modification approvals, All the required
modifications were not approved by the Planning Commission.
The modification requests included matters of landscaping,
parking, and driveway, He presented to the Council
photographs of apartment structures at 142 Diamond and 124
Diamond which are similar to his proposed development, Also,
he presented a photograph of an 8-unit condominium, and noted
that it is a massive structure for the size of the lot, and
also that such a structure requires a subterranean parking
area, as well as larger driveways, etc. Also construction of
the condominium will increase the density in the area. with
respect to both people and automobiles, in comparison to the.
3-unit apartment building. He indicated that, the conditions
outlined in the Planning Department staff report dated March
3, 1992 are satisfactory to him,
,<
Tom Clark. Chairman, Planning Commission, 2052 Atkins Place,
stated, in reply to questions from Mayor Gilb, that the
Planning Commission had been concerned about the magnitude of
the modifications requested by Mr, Matta for this project. The
Planning Commission has granted such modifications in the
past. However, the Commission's decision was basically
because of questions about the extension of the driveway into
the side yard setback and the elimination of the five feet of
landscaping, as well as the magnitude that would result on a
cumulative basis if these modifications continue to be
granted. In reply to a question from Mayor Gilb, the Planning
Director replied that at the present time there are two
driveways side by side which are used by the two adjacent
properties. The Planning Director also noted that the
requested modifications are similar to the other projects for
which Mr. Matta had presented photographs. Also, in order to
comply with all' the requirements of the Code, the minimum
width of the lot would have to be 65 feet; there are virtually
no 65 foot lots in the downtown area, Mr. Clark felt that
Council should give definite directions as to the policy for
developing lots such as this 50 foot wide lot.
1
When the matter was before the Planning Commission, the
applicant wished to get a decision that night from the
Commission and than file an appeal to the Council because
under the Code there is no way he could comply with the
requirements because of the 50' lot width. The City Attorney
stated that, although Mr. Matta had the option at the Planning
Commission meeting to negotiate the modifications, and opted
not to do so, this should not be deemed a prejudice against
him since he has that right.

In reply to question from Councilmember Ybung, staff replied
that planter areas could not be utilized in this instance
because of the narrow lot. Councilmember Young thought this
to be a good design for a 50 foot wide lot.
Mayor Pro tem Harbicht agreed with this and noted that the
area is zoned R.3, If modifications are not granted for the
50 foot wide lots, the only way these areas can be developed
wi th either two or three uni ts, would be by combining two
adjoining lots, Also, if two such lots are combined, the
developer may construct eight units, Therefore, granting
modifications for construction of the three units actually
cuts down the densi ty in the area, Also in the R- 3 zone,
the City says there must be at least 2,000 sq, ft, of lot area
per unit; in fact, in this case, there are 2,800 square feet
per lot area per unit, The only thing being given up in this
case is some landscaping on the side yard. and allowing use
of the side yard on one side for driveway space for backing
up, The reason the Code has not been changed is because it
has been determined that going through the variance procedure
gives the City some special kinds of controls; therefore, the
City is able to get desirable development and have the
variance procedure as an opportunity to ensure that, It is the
policy of the Council to encourage single lot development with
three units, rather than discourage that and get'paired 'lot
development with eight units. This is similar to what'has
been done on many other lots that have been developed and
generally are very nice looking. This practice results 'in
more landscaping in the front and eliminates' the' double
concrete driveway down the middle to a subterranean parking
area, He feels Council should grant this appeal';; and
reiterate to the Planning Commission that Council feels the
type of development under discussion here is more desirable
development than the alternative,
It was MOVED by Mayor Pro tem Harbicht, seconded by
Councilmember Young and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows
to FIND that the request would secure an appropriate
improvement; prevent an unreasonable hardship, promote
uniformity of development; FIND that the design concept plans
are in compliance with the ADR criteria; and APPROVE the
appeal subject to the conditions of approval set forth in the
February 11, 1992 staff report,

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
Robert E, Caldwell, 326 Joyce Avenue, stated, in part, that
he was present to review for the Council the status of the
sound wall along the 210 Freeway, He reviewed for Council
the history of the 210 Freeway over the past twenty years, and
the efforts of the Sound Wall Committee, with the help of the
City Council, to have Caltrans construct a sound wall. A
considerable amount of money was appropriated by Council for
expert studies and reports on decibel levels, etc. At this
point in time, a sound wall is to be constructed by Caltrans
from Michillinda Blvd, to Baldwin Avenue in conjunction with
the construction of the new HOV lane on the 210 Freeway.
However, the portion from Baldwin Avenue to Fifth Avenue will
not be included, He noted that a continued effort to obtain
noise barriers along the Foothill 210 Freeway is listed in the
Arcadia General Plan under the heading, PROGRAMS STILL IN
PROGRESS. The cost of a sound wall is $350 per lineal foot,
which amounts to $554,400 for Arcadia; the section in Monrovia
will amount to $184,880, for a total of $739,200, If Arcadia
can raise the money, Caltrans will also qualify the Monrovia
section, Originally Arcadia wanted a sound wall from Fifth
Avenue to Michillinda Blvd. which would have cost two and a
half million dollars or more, Now the State will provide
sound walls for a portion of the route, so Arcadia's share
will be $554,400. Mr. Caldwell also noted that cities can use
Redevelopment funds to finance such a sound wall. Staff noted
that one of the conditions for using Redevelopment funds is
that such construction be in low or moderate income or
blighted areas; it is unlikely that the proposed area would
qualify. Mr, Caldwell also noted that a news article in the

Los Angeles Times of June 28, 1991 described the experimental
use of plastic blocks in the construction of sound barriers;
this construction purported to be much cheaper than the use
of concrete blocks, Mr. Caldwell estimates the cost for the
sound wall using plastic blocks for the two cities would be
a minimum of 20% less; Arcadia's share would then be
$423,600.
In response to a question from Mayor Pro tem Harbicht, staff
replied that the sound wall from Michillinda Ave. to Baldwin
Avenue on the south side will be constructed within the next
few months in conjunction with the HOV lane construction; the
north side construction between Michillinda Ave. and Baldwin
Ave, is not set for any particular date because of Caltrans'
funding problems, At the present time there are no plans for
the construction of a sound wall from Baldwin Avenue to Fifth
Avenue. In response to a question from Councilmember
Fasching, Mr. Caldwell stated that from Second Avenue to Fifth
Avenue, the sound wall discussion concerns the north side of
the Freeway; Michillinda Ave, to Baldwin Ave. concerns the
south side of the freeway; the North side of the Freeway from
Santa Anita Avenue to Michillinda Ave, will be considered
sometime in the future.
Mayor Pro tem Harbicht noted that it is important to
understand that Arcadia has not been missing out because of
some technicality. Caltrans has a very complicated formula
that takes into account the number of people affected, the
distance of the nearest houses from the freeway, the cost of
constructing the sounds walls and other factors. One of the
factors is the figure X minus 65; X representing the decibel
sound level measurements; everything is measured by that
figure, If X is under 65 and 65 is subtracted, this results
in a negative number and the entire formula becomes negative.
This is the floor beyond which Caltans will not construct
sound walls, Arcadia has been below that level with the
exception of three or four readings and with some
inconsistencies in those, So other areas are higher on
Caltrans' list. Even when Arcadia has a positive number, it
is a small positive number, so Arcadia is far down on
Caltrans' list. Getting on the list does not guarantee that
Arcadia will ever get sound walls, Mr. Caldwell is asking
that Arcadia build the sound walls with City money, since
Caltrans will not do this. Firstly, it is necessary for
Council to obtain some hard figures for such a project, and
secondly, to decide if this is a project upon which Council
wants to spend a significant amount of money. He realizes
this is a serious problem for a limited number of people, but
there are other projects for which Council must also consider
allocating funds which would involve far more people.
Therefore, the best bet is to try to get Caltrans to build
the sound wall.
After further discussion, Council requested the Public Works
Director to return information to Council with regard to the
experimental plastic blocks and the estimated cost.
Councilmember Young would also like to have information
regarding the funding for the Michillinda Ave. to Baldwin Ave.
sound wall because she has heard that there are funding
problems, and she can see Caltrans putting in the new lanes
and forgetting the sound walls.
Sam Brodhead for Bertha Cusick, 2400 Lee Avenue, stated, in
part, that he is present on behalf of Mrs. Cusick (mother-in-
law) to request that the City Public Works Department remove
two City.owned maple trees from the front of Mrs, Cusick's
house, These trees continually drip sap on parked cars and
on the ground in front of Mrs. Cusick's house. Also, at one
point the roots of the tree are starting to lift the curb as

well as a short brick walkway. This is the' second time
Council has been approached with a request for removal and
replacement of these trees. Kayor Pro tem Harbicht noted that
there may be hundreds of maple trees in the City, this is
probably not an isolated problem, The City Attorney noted
that action on this matter will require ,that it be an agenda
item, Councilmember Fasching would like an estimate of how
many maple trees exist in the City because if these two trees
are removed, the City could be faced with removing large
numbers of trees. Perhaps the trees " 'coul,d be. properly
trimmed, Councilmember Fasching is concerned about setting I
a precedent in removing the trees or in permitting residents' ;1
to remove trees, The Public Works Director stated that he-", .'1

As per the Fire Station No. 2 project schedule, the
architectural firm of Wolff, Lang, Christopher and City staff,
i. e., City Manager, Planning Director and Fire Chief ,have
completed the site analysis, space needs study and schematic
design for construction of the new station, The proposed
design utilizes the landscaped site immediately south of the
existing station and has no impact on shopping center parking.

The proposed plan provides for continued emergency fire and
paramedic ambulance service from the existing station during
construction of the new facility, Council considered
approval of the proposed budget concept plans, the estimated
budget of $2,685,457 and the preparation of working drawings
and specifications. Mr, Larry Wolff, Architect, and the
Arcadia Fire Chief were present to answer questions.
1
In reply to a question from Councilmember Young, staff
responded that a portion of the required funds has been set
aside ip the Capital Program; the remainder will come from
Facilities Construction funds. There are ample funds
available. Councilmember Fasching stated that he is very
impressed and pleased with the plans for Fire Station No.2.
He does not feel that he is quite ready, on the basis of the
one study session, to vote on it this evening. He is
concerned about the cost involved. There is to be a
presentation in the near future on the mall expansion. He
would like to see some of those figures based upon their
proj ections for increased sales tax revenue, etc, Perhaps
this construction could somehow tie into the proposed
expansion of the mall, Perhaps the fire station could be
paid for from the increased sales tax, thereby reserving the
funds currently available for other things that are necessary
in the City, i.e., improvement of the Library. He also
wonders if it might be possible to accommodate new Fire
Department headquarters at the new station, which would make
more room for the other fire fighters at the Santa Anita
Station, Mayor Pro tem Harbicht suggested an alternative
might be to move the headquarters rather -, than the Fire
Prevention offices to the new facility ,
Gerald Gardner, Fire Chief, stated, in part, that it would be
more feasible and more efficient in the Fire Department's
operation to keep the Fire Prevention Bureau all together in
one office as proposed in this particular location, The
administration of the Fire Department is fragmented in that
the Fire Chief is in one location; the secretary is in a
separate location; the on-duty battalion chief is in a third
location; the administrative captain is in another location;
all in separate offices, It is not conducive to the operation
to put all of those together in a common atmosphere. It may
be counterproductive to put the administrative offices in the
busiest fire station because of interruptions, traffic,
commotion, etc, There is adequate space at the headquarters
fire station for the Chief's Office, secretary's office, lobby
and battalion chief's office, which has a built in dormitory
just for the battalion chief. This is why the program was
proposed as it is,
I
Mayor Pro tem Harbicht stated that $1,700,000 had been
budgeted for the new fire station; now the proposed cost is
almost one million more than that. He knows the money is
available, but there are other needs. He feels strongly about
improvement of the Library. The City needs a new police
facility. He likes the design of the fire station, but he has
to balance the expenditure against other expenditures that
might be made. He would like more time to think about this
matter. He would like to hold this item over.
In reply to a question from Councilmember Young, Chief Gardner
stated in part, that originally and after investigation, he
came up with the cost per square foot for building
construction, including the building cost, architect's fee and
temporary relocation costs which totalled $1,730,000.
Unfortunately, non-construction costs were not included in the
original estimate, i. e., insurance and site improvement
costs, attested inspections for insuring that the project is
done completely, telephone equipment costs, underground fuel
tanks, cost of furnishings and contingencies, etc. All of

CITY ATTORNEY
The City Attorney noted that a correction is to be made in the
wording of Ordinance No. 1964 regarding barbed wire.
Therefore, it is appropriate to change the wording at the time
of introduction of the ordinance, Mayor Gilb stated, in part,
that limiting barbed wire to nonvisible areas was not what was
discussed. The decision was that razor wire is to be abated
within one year if it was visible, The razor wire that was
not visible did not have to be removed, and barbed wire could
be installed with approval of the Modification Committee. The
ordinance originally stated that, if the barbed wire is
visible, it cannot be installed at all .- this is not what was
decided, The City Attorney commented that the appropriate
wording will be added to the ordinance,
The City Attorney presented for introduction and read the
title of Ordinance No. 1964: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY

In response to a question from Councilmember Ciraulo, staff
replied that trucks parked on the Northwest corner
redevelopment project belong to a contractor for the City.
The Public Works Department requested that the trucks be
allowed t? be parked there, and they will be there for only
a short period of time.
Counci1member Fasching reported that, following his comments
at a recent Council meeting, the City Attorney brought back
information regarding Federal statutes regarding mail box
vandalism. This to be put in the City Newsletter. The
Arcadia Tribune ran an article on this subject. TWo weeks
later Counci1member Fasching's mail box was vandalized, and
he found it in pieces up and down his street. He now has a
brick mail box in front of his house. A note was left at the
home of neighbors telling them not to bother putting in a new
mail box after the first was destroyed. He thinks it to be
a very serious matter that so many mail boxes have been
vandalized, and many people have had to resort to installing
brick mail boxes, He would like to propose that the City
post a standins reward of $1,000 for information leading to the
arrest and conviction of people who are vandalizing mail boxes
in this City,
Mayor Gi1b agreed and also noted the vandalism of decorative
name signs, jockey statues, etc, Mayor Pro tern Harbicht liked
Councilmember Fasching's idea; also Councilmember Ciraulo.
Councilmember Young referred to a T V program which showed
little mail boxes painted on the side of a truck indicating
how many that driver had destroyed,
The City Attorney stated this item can be added to the consent
calendar at the March 17, 1992 Council meeting for approval
at that time.
