CITY ATTORNEY
The City Attorney announced that, "The City Council and
Redevelopment Agency met in a CLOSED SESSION this evening and
will be going back into a CLOSED SESSION at the conclusion of
the regular meeting with regard to several items. Pursuant
to Government Code Section 54956.9(a), we will be meeting in
CLOSED SESSION to discuss the existing lawsuit of Clarke vs.
Arcadia. Additionally, pursuant to Government Code Section
54956.9(b)(1), a CLOSED SESSION will be conducted to review
two situations where, in the opinion of the City Council,
based upon legal advice, there are existing facts and
circumstances which give a significant exposure to litigation.
Those items will be discussed in CLOSED SESSION".
Mayor Pro tern Harbicht announced that in the public pre-
meeting, Council briefly discussed Item 9d. which is
Resolution No. 5619 regarding Orange Grove Avenue. It is the
intention of the Council, when we come to that item, to table
it until the next Council meeting.
The Planning Commission at its August 27, 1991 meeting voted
to recommend to the City Council approval of ,Zone Change Z-

91-006 rezoning the first area bordered on the north by Camino
Real Avenue, on the south by Palm Drive, on the west by Holly
Avenue and on the East by El Monte Avenue; the second area
includes portions of Camino Real Avenue, Norman Avenue, Lemon
Avenue, Wistaria Avenue and Las Flores Avenue. which are
located east of El Monte Avenue as described in staff report
dated September 17, 1991 from R-O 12,500 (first one-family
with a minimum lot size of 12,500 square feet) to R-O 15,000
(first one-family with a minimum lot size of 15,000 square
feet). The rezoning of these properties is based upon the
average size of properties within each area. The larger
minimum lot size requirements would apply to all properties
but would not affect existing lots. However, any new lots
proposed within these areas would have to meet the minimum lot
area requirements of 15,000 sq. ft. The existing development
standards such as building height, setbacks, lot coverage,
etc. will not be affected by any of the proposed changes.

Mayor Pro tern Harbicht declared the public hearing OPEN.
No one desiring to be heard, the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION
by Councilmember Fasching, seconded by Councilmember Young and
CARRIED.
It was MOVED by Councilmember Ciraulo, seconded by
Councilmember Young and CARRIEO on roll call vote as follows
to APPROVE and FILE the Negative Declaration and find that
zone change Z-91-006 will not have a significant effect on, the
environment and DIRECT staff to prepare the appropriate
ordinance.
In response to a question from Councilmember Fasching
concerning a letter received from Anthony J. Pasqualone
requesting a "no" vote on this zone change, staff noted that
a study was done in 1967 of the block between Walnut Avenue,
Palm Drive, Holly Avenue and El Monte Avenue. At that time
there was an application to the Planning Commission for a lot
split at 205 West Palm which would have split off the north
portion of that corner lot to create a new lot. There
appeared to be the potential for a street to run east - west
from Holly Avenue to El Monte Avenue. The Planning Department
at that time looked into the matter, and came to the
conclusion that a through street was possible. However, there
would have to be lot area modifications for approximately
twelve lots which would then not have the minimum 12,500 sq.
ft. required at that time. The lot split was subsequently
approved with the condition that a portion of the lot be
reserved for possible street purposes. However, at the
Planning Commission meeting, it was stated that this was
strictly a study; the City was not going to do anything to
initiate a sub-division. There has been no action on the part
of a developer since that time. The Planning Department does
not think such development is likely to occur.

regulations be amended to create five high rise zoning
overlays. The report further identified areas which were
currently zoned high rise and recommended rezoning of these
properties. As a result of the new designations, all the
existing "H" zoned properties within the City must be rezoned
to reflect the new high rise zoning classifications. The
proposed zoning of the above listed properties is consistent
with the development of the site, with the exception of the
Hampton Inn. The Hampton Inn is four stories, however the
height of the building is 58 feet. The Planning Commission
recommended that the high rise overlay be H5, which allows
55'0" high buildings plus 10' for mechanical equipment
screening This would be consistent with the overall height
of the building.
Mayor Pro tern Harbicht observed that in each case the
allowable height would be lowered.

existing "H" zoned properties within the City must be rezoned
to reflect the new high rise zoning classifications as set
forth in the September 17, 1991 staff report. The proposed
zoning of the above Huntington Drive properties is consistent
with the existing development of the site. The medical office
building is six stories in height and Santa Anita Fashion Park
is approximately 80 feet in height, consistent with the H8
overlay of 85 feet.

Gail Koons, 908 Valley View, Monrovia, and Paula Wertz, 2039
Fair Green, Monrovia, stated, in part, that they are the widow
and the daughter of recently deceased City employee, Roy
Koons. Speaking on behalf of her mother, Mrs. Wertz noted
that there is no mention in the City's personnel policy of
sick leave pay for employees who have died suddenly. Roy
Koons had accumulated sick leave during his eight years with
the City. Mrs. Koons requests payment of this accumulated
sick leave time.
Mayor Pro tem Harbicht acknowleded receipt of Mrs. Koons'
letter requesting that Council her grant the sick leave funds.
Council will review the staff report on this situation when
completed, and Mayor Pro tern harbicht once again expressed
condolences to the family of Roy Koons for their loss.
I
Terance La Croix, 15513 Ranch Road, Duarte, stated, in part,
that he hoped the Council would grant Mrs. Koons' request.
He is the spokesman for Roy Koons' fellow employees and
referred to the letter in support of this request which had
been signed by a majority of his fellow employees in Public
Works.

Discussion ensued as to the number of days to be included in
the advance notice requirement. Staff noted that the present
requirement is two days' notice. Councilmember Fasching
observed that the money the City receives from filming is not
a great deal of money . - last year, $4,500. Therefore,
consideration to the residents as far as notification is
concerned is more important. He is in favor of a seven day
notification. Councilmembers Young and Ciraulo agreed with
the seven day notification. Mayor Pro tern Harbicht was in
favor of a three day notification. In most cases, he does not
think the filming companies are able to schedule that far in
advance. He has noticed that in most cases when filming is
going on, crowds of people are standing around watching and
being entertained by watching the process. A few people are
apparently inconvenienced, but a lot of people are apparently
being affected positively. He reminded Council that a few I
years ago there had been requests to support the keeping of
filming in the Southern California area because of the
financial impact. ':

MATTERS FROM STAFF
None
MATTERS FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS
The City Clerk sCated that she has been getcing inqu~r~es from
the School District's consultants with regard to a special
election for a bond issue to improve the schools. The School
District is asking that the City conduct the election for
them, or perhaps consolidate with che City election in April.
When more information is available, she will report it to the
Council.
Mayor Pro tern Harbicht noted that during a meeting with city
officials of other cicies, he had heard one official say chey
had been advised by their City Clerk that they could hold an
all-absentee ballot election. The City Clerk replied chat
would depend on the number of regiscered voters. Councilmember
Young said the city in quescion was larger than Arcadia.
Mayor Pro tern Harbicht requested more information and thought
perhaps an election held in this manner would be less
expensive. Councilmember Young said the idea is that the
ballot would be mailed to the voters and the ones that came
back would be the ones counced.
Councilmember Fasching felt there should be a j oinc scudy
session with the School District and the Task Force which is
investigating various avenues of raising money for improvement
of the schools. He feels the City Council should sit down
with the School Board to find out what they have in mind and
how the Council can help. Councilmember Young responded the
School District and the Task Force don't know what they have
in mind at the present time. They are still collecting
information. They are trying to find out about a bond issue,
how they can do it, how much it might cost, the possibility
of the City doing it for them, etc. Mayor Pro tern Harbicht
recalled that he had heard that che Task Force has been
receiving a lot of negative comment about the proposal to sell
the Santa Anita School. Therefore, an alternative would be
to have a bond issue. Councilmember Fasching feels there are
things the City can do to help solve some of the School
District's problems, but he will wait until they are ready to
meet with Council.
With regard to hanging flags in the City on special holiday
occasions, Councilmember Fasching reported that he had
submitted a list of locations that he feels would be
appropriate. He does not agree that this function should be
turned over to the American Legion or others; but that the
,City should buy che stanchions and che flags and work it out
with the City Departments Co erect the flags on certain days.
He would like to move ahead with this.
There is a corner property at Michillinda and Sunset which is
just bare ground and dirt. Councilmember Fasching would like
to see some improvement. Staff responded that this is private
property and has been an ongoing problem. The City did planc
some trees which are on a strip of land which is City

property, but it still looks tacky because there is no way to
water them. The property owner had been contacted with several
alternatives, one of which was to move the wall down to the
property line; another to deed that bit of property to the
City so that it might be landscaped. The owner did not wish
to work with the City because the property was for sale at
that time. The City Attorney will direct another letter to
the owner.
Councilmember Fasching called attention to the ongoing problem
of trash barrels being left out too long. Perhaps a request
for people to be more considerate in removing these barrels
at the proper time could be included in the next City
Newsletter.
Councilmember Fasching has received many calls about
advertisement leaflets being left in mail boxes, front yards,
etc. What can be done about this? The City Attorney noted
that persons who do not wish to receive this material can
submit a card to the City Clerk. The name and address are
then added to a non-distribution list. If advertising
material is left at these residences anyway, the people doing
so are contacted and ordered to cease and desist; then if they
persist, they can be liable to legal action. The problem is
that many of these advertisements are on a one-time basis,
frequently with only a telephone number, so enforcement is a
problem. Councilmember Fasching suggested that the next
City Newsletter include a statement to the effect that Council
is aware of this problem and to encourage residents to report
such actions to the City.
Councilmember Ciraulo inquired about a possible time schedule
for redevelopment of the Mobil Station on Santa Anita at
Huntington Drive. Staff replied the plans are going through
plan check, but once they are approved, they still have 180
days to start. Staff will check on this. Councilmember
Fasching said he had heard from the person who is leasing the
property that demolition is to start tomorrow.
Councilmember Ciraulo inquired about the NW corner property
in the Redevelopment area and if the asbestos problem has been
cleared so that the building can be torn down. Staff
responded that the problem has been solved. The demolition
was scheduled for last week. Due to a conflict in schedule,
the demolition contractor could not get to it, but it is
expected to begin next week.
Councilmember Ciraulo inquired about the property on the
corner of Duarte Road and Holly Avenue. I t seems that
construction has stopped and the weeds have overgrown the
property. Staff will check on it.
Mayor Pro tern Harbicht commented on the staff memo dated
September 11 regarding street sweeping after trash collection.
Staff explained that the sweeping is done the day after the
trash is picked up. There are six legal holidays which the
trash collector observes. Those days are the problem days
because the trash collector skips that day, but makes up a
portion of the pickup each following day of the week including
Saturday. Eventually all the trash is picked up. The street
sweeping cannot follow that schedule because of the signing
requirements with regard to "no parking". Mayor Pro tern
Harbicht said perhaps it is an unsolvable problem. Staff will
check to find out if these two activities can somehow be
coordinated.
.. I have a sad duty which is to close the meeting in the memory
of a former City employee, Roy Tynes. Roy Tynes was a former
Equipment Maintenance Superintendent in the Public Works
Department who passed away on September 13th of this year.

Roy joined the City in April of 1963 as a maintenance man in
the Public Works Department Service Division and was promoted
in September of that year to Sweeper Operator. In 1972 he was
promoted to Equipment Mechanic in the Equipment Maintenance
Division and in 1974 and 1975 he served the Equipment
Maintenance and Service Divisions as an Equipment Mechanic and
a Public Works Foreman, as needed. In August 1975 he was
promoted to the Equipment Maintenance Superintendent position
where he stayed until his retirement in January 1985. Roy was
born in Bloomfield, Missouri and moved to California shortly
before joining the City of Arcadia. He is survived by his
wife, Doris; two daughters; one son; eight grandchildren and
three great grandchildren. Services will be at Live Oak
