Sister City Commissioner, 2140 Canyon Road, presented to Council a book entitled "Shadows in the Mist", which had been sent to Arcadia by Michael O'Hagan, Member of the Sister City Commission in Newcastle, Australia. This is a beautiful volume depicting the Australian aboriginal mists in story and painting. It is the understanding of the Sister City Commission that this book will be kept in the Arcadia Library. However, if, for any reason the Library does not wish to house it there, it is requested that they notify the Commission. Mayor Fasching presented and read a proclamation declaring that the City will join with the entire nation in honoring the family structure by declaring the week of November 21 to November 28, 1992 to be Arcadia Family Week.

PUBLIC HEARING TEXT AMEND. 92-005 (Hahn Co. & Santa Anita Realty Ent., - Fashion Park Mall - 400 S, Baldwin Ave.) (APPROVED) o J:' ti Q <o~..;- 34:0365 Consideration of Zone Change 92-002 to rezone an 8.2 acre portion of Santa Anita Race Track Parcel No. 949 from R-l (Single-family Residential Zone) and S-l (Special Use) to C- 2D (General Commercial Zone with a Design Overlay). Approval of Zone Change 92-002 is subject to the conditions of approval set forth in the October 27, 1992 staff report. The applicants, Hahn Company and Santa Anita Realty Enterprises, Inc., are proposing to expand and renovate the existing Santa Anita Fashion Park Mall at 400 South Baldwin Avenue. The rezoning would allow the use of a portion of the existing race track parking lot for expanded mall parking. The proposed zoning of the 8.2 acre parcel is consistent with the existing and proposed development of the site and conforms to the general plan designation for the mall, which is commercial. A Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project. In reply to questions from Council, staff responded that, if I the Zone Change is approved, the area will be part of an overall single zone which will then be C-2D (General Commercial Zone with a Design Overlay). Also, there will be adequate parking available for the race track after a portion of the existing race track parking lot is rezoned for expanded mall parking, with the possible exception of one or two days a year when the "Breeders' Cup" is run, for example Mayor Fasching declared the hearing OPEN. No one desiring to be heard, the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Mayor Pro tem Ciraulo, seconded by Councilman Harbicht and CARRIED. It was then MOVED by Councilman Harbicht, seconded by Councilman Lojeski and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows to APPROVE Zone Change Z-92-002 subject to the conditions as set forth in the October 27, 1992 staff report to the Planning Commission; APPROVE and FILE the Negative Declaration; FIND that the zone change will not have a significant effect on the environment and DIRECT staff to prepare the appropriate ordinance. AYES: Councilmen Ciraulo, Harbicht, Lojeski, Margett and Fasching None None NOES: ABSENT: Consideration of Text Amendment 92-005, which proposes co amend City Council Ordinance No. 1425 and Resolution No. 4185, to revise the current boundaries where mall buildings are permitted to be located at 400 South Baldwin Avenue. Approval of T. A. 92-005 is subject to the conditions outlined in the October 27, 1992 staff report. The applicants, Hahn Company and Santa Anita Realty Enterprises, Inc., are proposing to expand and renovate the existing Santa Anita Fashion Park Mall at 400 South Baldwin Avenue. The proposed expansion requires the aforementioned text amendment to allow development of a new Nordstrom department store, since a portion of this building would be located west of the current boundaries where mall buildings are permitted. City Council Ordinance No. 1425 was adopted in 1971, and originally amended the Arcadia Municipal Code to rezone the site for the development of the Santa Anita Fashion Park regional shopping center mall. City Council Resolution No. 4185 was also adopted in 1971, to establish Architectural Design Zone Regulations for the development of the mall. This resolution pertains to the entire site, as described in Ordinance No. 1425. The proposed expansion requires the following amendments to City Council Ordinance No. 1425 and Resolution No. 4185: 1) That the original legal description for Parcel 2 in Section 1.2 of 1 11/17/92 2 I 1 3. 03S"'a -V.,z ()3-;)-'1,) 34:0366 Ordinance No. 1425 be amended to reflect the proposed boundary adjustments; and 2) That the "Exhibit to Resolution No. 4185" (Design Overlay Site Plan) be amended to reflect the proposed boundary adjustments. Mayor Fasching declared the hearing OPEN. No one desiring to be heard, the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Lojeski, seconded by Mayor Pro tem Ciraulo and CARRIED. It was then MOVED by Mayor Pro tem Ciraulo, seconded by Councilman Harbicht and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows to APPROVE Text Amendment 92-005 subject to the conditions outlined in staff report dated October 27, 1992; MOVE to APPROVE and FILE the Negative Declaration; FIND that the Text Amendment will not have a significant effect on the environment; and DIRECT staff to prepare the appropriate ordina.nce. AYES: Councilmen Ciraulo, Harbicht, Loj eski, Margett and Fasching None None NOES: ABSENT: AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Request from F. Macciola to be heard regarding Arcadia Women's Club and neighborhood problems. Frank Macciola, 2728 Caroline Way, Arcadia, owner of the property at 113 Diamond Street, located east of the Arcadia Women's Club. Mr. Macciola stated, in part, that for six years he has had problems of late hours with loud noise and music, etc., from renters of the Women's Club. When the parties are over and people are walking to their cars, there has been yelling, urinating on lawns, leaving bottles and cans on lawns and curbs, revving car engines, car alarms, arguments, sometimes fights. All of this wakes up residents living up and down Diamond Street. He submitted a petition signed by some of these residents and correspondence from his tenant, Mr. Don Deitrick, as well as a police report listing some of the complaints. The residents would like to see a permanent solution to these problems. They would like the City to change the Conditional Use Permit for the Women's Club to the effect that the time for parties on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings would not exceed 7:00 p. m. Don Deitrick, 113-A Diamond Street, stated, in part, that he has resided at this location since 1988, and has lived in Arcadia for nineteen years. He had always enjoyed residing in Arcadia until his present experience on Diamond Street. He reiterates Mr. Macciola's remarks that he is not complaining about the Women's Club per se. He has no objections to the continuance of the Club's weekday and daytime activities. The problems seem to occur just on the weekends. He is present to request the Council to help solve the problems of disturbance and nuisance during late night hours of the night caused by the parties for which the Women's Club rents the premises. In February 1992 the representatives of the Women's Club stated that they would take affirmative action to correct the misbehavior of the people using the facilities. However, there has been no improvement. After a meeting on September 3D, 1992 the City Attorney assured the neighbors that there would be no more permits issued for weekend late night parties. This has not been effective because of the appeal process. The permit's are denied, but the applicants are granted the permit after they 11/17/92 3 o J sO . of ,1 3~:0367 appeal. He would like to see the Council prohibit late night activity at the Women's Club. Councilman Harbicht noted that the result of not granting the permit and going through the appeal process is that the City can then put restrictions on the permit, which normally would not be possible. Mr. Deitrick responded that the parties go on beyond 10:00 p. m.; sometimes as late as 1:00 a. m. Sometimes a Friday night decorating event becomes a pre-party party which results in disturbances. Councilman Harbicht responded that the City is not ignoring the problem; it is not giving a permit for parties to continue until 1:00 a. m. At the present time the entertainment must stop at 10:00 p. m. and the premises be cleared by 11:00 p. m. The City Attorney noted that I because of previous contractual arrangements. there are still a few remaining permits that will allow the 1 parties to go until 11:00 p. m. The new requirement is that the entertainment end at 10:00 p. m. The City has jurisdiction only over the entertainment. Mayor Fasching noted that this is not a public hearing. The City Attorney stated, in part, that the new conditions and new management approach can continue to be monitored and the results brought back to the Council with, perhaps, some recommendations, and at that time a public hearing could be scheduled if Council so desires. Mr. Macciola continued that the residents were under the impression that the permits were going to be denied. But there are events scheduled into March which have permits to extend the parties to 11:00 p. m. Councilman Harbicht noted that some of these events are wedding receptions which can not be planned a few days in advance. These events that are approved to 11:00 p.m. are those that were planned and approved before the procedure was revised; they were set up months ago. Those that have received recent permits must end the entertainment at 10:00 p. m. and vacate the premises at 11:00 p. m. Mr. Macciola reiterated that there is an ongoing problem. Councilman Harbicht said he is very much in sympathy with this situation, and the Council is trying to address the problem. Floretta K. Lauber, 1225 Oaklawn Road, stated, in part, that she is a thirty-two year member of the Women's Club and a past president, and wishes to show the other side of the coin. The Women's Club has been active in Arcadia since 1914. The Club house was built in 1930 and has been a lovely community asset for sixty-two years. Many, many lovely family affairs have been held there, as well as school proj ects, speakers bureaus, etc. The Club has a proud history of community service. As far as the noise is concerned, she experiences more disturbance in her own neighborhood with teen parties that get out of hand. These things happen. But, all things considered, the record of the Women's Club is pretty good. The potential renters are all personally and thoroughly interviewed, and are given a long list of restrictions. This is a beautiful facility; beautifully furnished and maintained. The Club cannot afford to lose this investment. If things were really as rowdy and as bad as the claims, the Club house would not be in the good condition that it is. She does not believe there have been many complaints until they were rounded'up by Mr. Deitrick. She points out that the problems began when Mr. Macciola crowded three units on a fifty foot wide lot with four modifications. 1) He asked for a narrower driveway; 2) only a five foot setback in lieu of ten feet from the street; 3) smaller parking spaces; and 4) the one that causes a lot of problems - - at his request the five foot landscape area between the buildings was deleted. It appears that Mr. Macciola wants the best of both worlds by pushing his building to the property line of an existing historic building I 11/17/92 4 I 1 0.:;', r). -1.1 34:0368 which as been conducting such events for many years. This is similar to residents who purchase homes near the airport and then demand that the airport be closed down or flights curtailed. She suggests that Mr. Macciola be realistic and honest about that front unit, and give the next potential renter a reduction in the rent and, in turn, the Club will continue to monitor the activities and abide by the City Code. The Club is a good neighbor; empty most of the time during the week except for Wednesday. It is not rented every weekend and there are seldom multiple rental nights on a weekend. Other similar facilities are usually booked on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The building and landscape are beautifully maintained; the community can be proud of them. There have been no complaints from January through August of this year. In September there were two problems. The Board of Directors has hired another security guard and purchased a decibel meter. This is a big expense out of the rental fee, but the Club wants to comply. The harassment from Mr. Deitrick has continued. Mrs. Lauber quoted from the last three Police reports which showed that, after investigation of Mr. Deitrick's complaints, no problems of any kind had been observed. It would appear that nothing will appease Mr. Deitrick. The Club has offered Mrs. Deitrick a membership in the Club; offered Mr. Deitrick a job assisting the security guard; tried to make them a part of the solution to the problem. Each time a meeting was set up, Mr. Deitrick cancelled. Mrs. Lauber continued, and stated, in part, the Women's Club cannot payoff its indebtedness without the revenue from these wedding parties. To impose this discriminating and inequitable restriction that the City Attorney has thrust upon the Club without consulting the members is unfair. Demanding that the brides or their representatives appear before the License Committee and appeal the City Attorney's decisions, forcing them to sign the most restrictive application she has ever seen is unfair. The signing of this document has caused cancellations, tears and threats of lawsuits against the Club. If these restrictions continue, it will force the closure of the Women's Club House, and it would be criminal to have to sell this historic building and replace it with a commercial endeavor. Perhaps Mr. Macciola and Mr. Deitrick would prefer a fast food neighbor. Mrs. Lauber requests that Council allow the wedding festivities to continue until 11:00 p. m. only on the weekends. This is not a late hour by anyone's standards; the bridal parties pay a great deal of money for this important night in their lives. She requests the removal of the automatic denial of all requests. There should be very few problems now that they have another security guard and a decibel meter. The last three police reports verify that these solutions are working. Marjorie Elliott, President, Women's Club, 535 W. Duarte Road, #3, stated, in part, that the Club cannot exist without the weekend rentals. The Club at 324 South First Avenue is located in a commercial zone on commercial property. They differ from other businesses operations in that all profits go to charitable purposes. The constant harassment by the complainants have caused the City Attorney, perhaps in his frustration, to make rulings that make it impossible to operate the Club, and thus it will be necessary to close it. Before the Whittier earthquake, the club house was free of any financial obligations. After the earthquake, the club house was closed for seven months for repairs. The only institution that would lend the money was the SBA, and only because the damage was caused by the earthquake. The club house was redecorated and refurnished. Then the retrofitting ordinance was passed by the Council. They secured a private loan which doubled the financial obligations. Operating at a normal 11/17/92 5 03 S-O_ 'f..<. 0..3 'i'o-<l.). 34:0369 pace, using the club house on the weekends has enabled the Club to make the payments. The 1992 operations have allowed the Club to continue its philanthropies in this communi ty, which Mrs. Elliott outlined. However, the restrictions placed on the Club during the last few weeks will make it impossible for the Club to meet its financial obligations. Regarding the location of 133 E. Diamond -- it is built much too close to the club house. There is only a narrow walk and a low block wall between. There had originally been trees which formed a sound barrier; they were removed in order to build the block wall. It would have been better if the driveway had been placed on the club house side. She requests that the Club be permitted to resume normal operations on Saturday nights at the Women's Club of Arcadia because extraordinary precautions have been taken to prevent any future annoyance to the residents. The Club is being discriminated against in the application of the City of Arcadia regulations in relation to other rental halls in the City. 1 Pat Huffman, 50 W. La Sierra Drive, stated, in part, that she is speaking as a fifteen year member of the Arcadia Women's Club, having served as the Arcadia Juniors President, and currently serving as the S tate Pres ident for the General Federation of Women's Clubs California Juniors of which the local club is a part. The General Federation of Women's Clubs is the largest and oldest non-denominational, non-partisan women's volunteer service organization, having more than 8,500 clubs and approximately 350,000 members active in communities across the United States, and 10 million members world-wide. The Arcadia Women's Club has over five decades of community service. The juniors have been sponsored by the Women's Club of Arcadia who provide meeting space in their club house for meetings and ways and means activities which provide support for the community and charitable activities the Clubs are involved with. In the last reporting year, the Arcadia Juniors completed forty-seven service projects with over 600 service hours logged. These are difficult times for service organizations. It seems ironic that when volunteers are most needed, many service clubs find themselves fighting for their very existence. The cost of keeping this building has been tested by earthquake, the resultant refurbishing and loans, the economy, loss of members, and now by someone who seems not to be aware of how hard the members are working to do something for others, and to earn the money to keep the Women's Club of Arcadia alive. Without the income derived from the rentals, upon which the Women's Club has depended for over sixty years, the building will most probably be lost and with it perhaps both clubs. Ms. Huffman asks that the restrictions that are driving away the potential renters be lifted. Vir~inia Holtzer, 551 Fairview Avenue, Vice-President of the Women's Club, stated, in part, that the Women's Club has taken many positive steps to alleviate the problems that have arisen in the past, as have been pointed out by Krs. Lauber. In addition, the club is now using only the door on First Avenue for entrance and exit, rather than the door on Diamond Street. The windows on the east side of the building have been secured, and the trash is now placed in the containers by the security guard rather than the clean-up groups. All of these steps have been taken in response to the complaints, and even some that may be perceived. Also she would like to point out that some complaints were received on nights when Arcadia House had functions, but the Women's Club was dark with no one present. In response to a question from Kayor Fasching, Mrs. Holtzer replied that the second security guard waS hired October 1, 1992. 1 11/17/92 6 1 1 03 "-0 . .; .:1. 03"'--(7 'I ~ 0')<,,1 .;,) 34:0370 Geor~ianna Wardell, 11 Woodland Lane, stated, in part, that as a Member of the Arcadia Historical Society, she is interested in the history of this area. Arcadia was incorporated in 1903 and only twenty-seven years later, the Women's club house was built. It is an excellent example of the architecture of that time. Some examples of Arcadia historical landmarks have been saved, i. e., Lucky Baldwin's railway depot. Some have been lost, i. e., the Pony Express Museum, because its importance to Arcadia was not realized. She very much hopes that the City Council will not allow the Arcadia Women's Club to be lost. It is an Arcadia landmark, Elizabeth M. Watson, 158 East Arthur Avenue, stated, in part, that she has been an Arcadia resident for twenty-eight years, and for fifteen years was the manager of a major Arcadia bank. The Arcadia Women's Club had large expenses as a result of earthquake damage, and had to obtain a large loan which they have been repaying diligently. If they should be put in a position where they will be unable to rent the property and obtain some income, they may have to close the Women's Club and possibly sell it. The City of Arcadia needs a facility like the Women's Club. Garr Richmond. West Covina, stated, in part, that he has been employed as security guard at the Women's Club, and reiterated the steps taken to alleviate the problems, He has taken on this challenge and he feels that the last two events have produced no problems. He sees to it that people do not congregate on the streets, and that they exit the building on First Avenue rather than on Diamond Avenue. There is no drinking outside. The person in charge of the music is warned only once if the volume exceeds the decibel limit; the second time the music is stopped. He contacts the person in charge of the party and outlines the rules to be followed. He is trying to help the Women's Club and also Mr. Deitrick. He has made several attempts to speak with Mr. Deitrick, but has not succeeded in this. He is willing to do anything possible to help Mr. Deitrick and the other neighbors. Mr. Richmond is employed by the Arcadia School District, and is interested in the City of Arcadia. He feels that the Women's Club is important to the City and would like to see it survive. There have been no violations during the last two events which proves their efforts are producing the desired results. Mr. Macciola replied that he had been sitting in his vehicle last Saturday evening at 10:50 p. m. to 11:27 p, m. and there was noise from the persons vacating the club house. Mayor Fasching noted that this portion of the meeting is only for the purpose of hearing five minutes of comments from those in the audience who wish to address the Council; not to get into a controversy over this issue tonight. Council will make a decision as to what it wishes to do in the future. Councilman Harbicht thought that a fresh beginning is needed in this situation. There is a real lack of compassion on both sides. A suggestion has been made that Mr. Deitrick is hypersensitive and is the cause of the problem. This year's police reports don't necessarily bear this out; there have been problems. However, in reading the last two police reports, he sees that someone is looking for problems where problems don't really exist. The City is trying to accommodate both sides; trying to allow the Women's Club to continue to operate; and trying to address some of these concerns. The Women's Club at the present time seems to be responsive to the problems -- sealing the windows, hiring a second security guard, etc. There are two requests here. One, that everything be closed at 7:00 p. m. -- he is not in favor of this because there must be an opportunity to see if the new measures are effective. Two, a request that the club 11/17/92 7 4, 4a. SISTER CITY COMMISSION (Plaque in Honor of Alderman Don Geddes - Newcastle Park) (APPROVED) .?-"/ 'cc' <'.", V 1;{\'i<1 1"--' 5. Sa. WITHDRAWN O!;"" ~O-"..~ Sb. WITHDRAWN 0<; <6U('J 34:0371 be allowed to remain open later as they have been in the past. He is not in favor of this either, because they first have to demonstrate that these problems are under control. If that, in fact, is the case, then we may want to take another look at it. He would like to wait and see how this works with the significant changes made recently. He would also like to ask both parties to have consideration for the other side. He would like to see the matter continue as it is now, i. e. closing off at 10:00 p. m., as opposed to 11:00 p. m., with the exception of those to whom contractual obligation is for 11:00 p. m. closing. 1 In response to a question from Mayor Fasching, the City Attorney replied that these restrictions and rules are imposed by the Business License Officer, on recommendations made by the Police Department and the City Attorney. The present rules indicate ending entertainment at 10: 00 p. m., with guests leaving by 11:00 p. m. Mr. Macciola reiterated that he would like to see the closing time adjusted to 7:00 p. m. Councilman Harbicht said the present hours, i. e., 10:00 and 11:00 p. m. may not make Mr. Macciola happy, but Council needs to see if the new measures instituted by the Women's Club are effective. Further discussion ensued. By general consensus, Council agreed to take no further action at this tine. The situation will be monitored to see if the measures implemented by the Women's Club solve the problems. The City Attorney advised that the status quo is being reviewed by the staff and a report will be forthcoming to the Council. BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS The Sister City Commission requested Council to approve funds in an amount not to exceed $500 for the purpose of dedicating and installing a plaque at Newcastle Park in memory of Newcastle Alderman Don Geddes. Alderman Geddes was a long time friend of Arcadia, and was instrumental in building relationships between Arcadia and Newcastle, Australia. In response to questions from Council, Sister City Commissioner Beth Wells, stated that the Koala Band from Newcastle will be coming to Arcadia in time to participate in the Tournament of Roses Parade on New Year's Day in Pasadena. There is a possibility that Mrs. Maria Geddes will accompany the group. Therefore, the Commission would like to plan to unveil the plaque at the time of this visit. In accordance with a suggestion from Council, Mrs. Wells volunteered to work with City staff in order to accomplish this on time. 1 It was MOVED by Councilman Harbicht, seconded by Councilman Margett and CARRIED that Council APPROVE allocation of funds not to exceed $SOO for a plaque in memory of Newcastle Alderman Don Geddes to be installed at Newcastle Park in Arcadia.
