MAYOR GILB
"I wish to make a brief announcement. The Council from time to
time receives information on roofing materials. We have received
information on heavy fibreglass roofing and we went to the property
owners' associations' Architectural Review Boards with it. We
appreciate their efforts in reporting what they like and for
polling their various members in the community. At the present
time, the matter of roofing materials will be filed. We want
to thank all of those who have come to give us their input on
this. From time to time new roofing materials become available
and the only way we can get information out is to get it to the
various home owners' associations. At this time there will be
no action taken regarding these roofing materials. There will
be no changes at all in that regard. We want to thank all those
who have worked on it and if they have petitions or anything, we
have a fi.le on it for the various home owners' associations which
we will keep for futore reference so we don't go through this
again every six months. Again, we appreciate your efforts and
there will not be any action taken on roofing materials."

The Oath of Office was administered by the City Clerk to William
Dillon, incoming Member of the Senior Citizens' Commission. Counci1-
member Chandler presented credentials to Mr. Dillon and welcomed
him to the City family.
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 8831.1 of the Arcadia
Municipal Code, the City Engineer submitted'a report concerning
the proposed underground utilities district, setting forth the cost
to be borne by the utility companies, affected property owners and
the City as well as an estimate of the time required to complete the
necessary undergrounding within said District. These are all set
forth in staff report dated July 21, 1987. Council member Lojeski
inquired when this undergrounding of utilities would be completed.
Staff ,rep1 ied that, due to pressure of work, it would probilb1y not
be completed until March 1989. Counci1member Lojeski also in-
quired if this would interfere with the development being planned
in that area. Staff replied that it would not. Counci1member
Harbicht inquired who would be paying for the Cab1eVision under-
grounding. Staff replied that Cab1eVision will pay.
Mayor Gi1b declared the hearing open. No one desiring to be
heard, the public hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Counci1member

The Planning Commission at its July 23, 1987 meeting voted 6 to 0
with one member absent to recommend approval of Text Amendment
87-13 which adds regulations to the Arcadia Municipal Code to
permit local offices for elected Federal or State government
officials to be located within the M-1 Planned Industrial District
zone, The Planning Commission felt that the use would be appropriate
provided the parking for such use was at the rate of four spaces
for each 1,000 square feet of gross floor area (the same as re-
quired for the offices of architects and engineers within the M-1
zone) .
Mayor Gi1b declared the hearing open, and Assemblyman Richard
Mountjoy, 427 Latone Street, Monrovia spoke to the matter of re-
locating his office to the M-1 Planned Industrial District zone
and presented information regarding numbers of persons comprising
his staff and volunteers who would be present in his office and
utilizing the parking spaces. He stated further that four park-
ing spaces are adequate; five would be more than enough.

Consideration of Modification M-87-61 for a zero rear yard set-
back (south property line) in lieu of 20'-0" for proposed
commercial retail development (9263.2.4) at 1107 S. Baldwin
Avenue (T. W. Layman Associates for Robert Champion). Staff
report presented.
The applicant is proposing to clear the site and construct a sing1e-
story 9,419 sq. ft., commercial retail development. One modifica-
tion is being requested for the project, which is a zero rear yard
setback (south property line) in lieu of 20'0". Code defines the
front property line for a corner lot as the line separating the
narrowest street frontage of the lot from the street, which in
this case would be Arcadia Avenue, thus the rear property line
becomes the south property line. Approval of this,modification
would be consistent with other commercial developments. Elimina-
tion of the 20'-0" rear yard has been granted when the rear
property line is also the side property line of, an adjacent lot.
Also, the code does not require a side yard setback when a
commercial zone abuts another commercial zone.
Counci1member Harbicht commented that apparently the 20' rear
yard setback modification was a technicality since Baldwin Avenue
is the front. Staff replied that was true. Counci1member Young
said she was concerned about the impact on traffic and thought
this should be discussed.
Mayor Gilb declared the hearing open, and Tim Saiver, representing
T. W. Layman Associates, 19725 Sherman Way, Canoga Park was present.
Robert Champion, 11878 LaGrange, West Los Angeles stated, in part,
that he was a joint partner with Long Beach Savirigs and Loan Co. He
has developed all types of shopping center complexes while working
with another company and now has formed his own company with the
Long Beach Savings and Loan. He would like to build a complex
that is compatible with the,community. He and Mr. Saiver present-
ed several renderings -- one of a similar completed project in
Costa Mesa and the other of the proposed complex under discussion.
Considerable discussion ensued regarding the possible impact upon
residential area to the rear of the proposed building; design of
building; proposed colors to be used; trash enclosures, land-
scaping; signs and impact ,upon traffic. Mr. Saiver and Mr. Champion
answered questions relating to these matters -- the residential area
will be screened with wall and planting; they are proposing more land-
scaping than required by Code; the signs will be flat channel letter
signs; trash area will be completely enclosed; renderings were again
referred to as to the design and color boards were presented to the
Council;
No one else desiring to be heard, the public hearing was CLOSED on
MOTION by Councilmember Lojeski, seconded by Councilmember Harbicht
and CARRIED.
In the discussion that followed, Councilmember Lojeski expressed
concern about the colors and inquired of staff if there were any
suggested or approved colors for the area. Staff replied that was
only in the redevelopment area. Councilmember Young expressed strong
concerns about the traffic situation with two exit lanes on Arcadia
Avenue and one lane on Baldwin Avenue. Counci1member Harbicht stated
that he thought the appearance of the proposed project was good;
there will be more landscaping then required and he thought as far
as the traffic problem was concerned, there are traffic experts who
could be consulted. Counci1member Chandler commented that ,this
proposed building would upgrade the 'area and that no one can beat
the traffi~problem.

Consideration of a Text Amendment -- 87-12 -- amending Section
9262.4.3.c:4 of the Arcadia Municipal Code by adding an Exception
to the sign regulations to permit banners and/or flags to be
located outside of any building provided that such location is not
less than five hundred (500) feet from adjacent public rights-of-
way. Staff report presented. Councilmember Young asked if this
500, ft, restriction would apply to any place in the City other than
the mall. Staff replied it would not.
Mayor Gilb declared the hearing open and Rick Froese, Hahn Company,
representing Anita Associates, 4350 La Jo~Vi11age Drive, San
Diego, spoke in favor of the Text Amendment and said the ownership
of Fashion Park is most desirous of implementing a major renovation
at the mall. As part of that renovation program, they wish to take
steps'to improve the ,quality of the entrances. A design has been
developed that includes the use of decorative banners at the present
building entrances which will assist in identifying the entrances
to the customers and also lend a festive quality to the project.
The banners, will not advertise anything and will not be visible to
the streets but only to persons coming into the mall parking areas.
Tom Crosby, 601 S. Old Ranch Road, said he did not understand why
this, is being considered. Inquired if these were Olympic Flags and
if they could contain advertising. Did not see why this would make
it more interesting to drive into mall areas. He felt it would be I
detrimental to the City. He ,questioned why would it be considered
decorative at the Fashion Park, but not for small shops. Mr. Crosby
was advised that the banners would be 500 feet from rights-of-way
and the smaller malls could not qualify for this. Mr. Crosby said
he did not think this was fair. City Manager said there was, after
all, a great deal of difference in considerations for the mall and
for smaller businsses. The banners at Fashion Park are to accent
the entrances and will not contain any advertising.
No one else desiring to be heard, the public hearing was CLOSED on
MOTION by Counci1member Young, seconded by Councilmember Lojeski and

Councilmember Harbicht said he did not see any problem with this
as long as there would not be any advertising or brand names. He
felt the banners and/or flags should be attached on only one side
'should not be plastered across the front of a building: It was then
MOVED by Councilmember Harbicht, seconded by Councilmember Young and
CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that Text Amendment 87-12 be
APPROVED with the restrictions of no prices, no brand names and
attached on one side to free-standing poles; that the Nagative

Consideration of Text Amendment 86-3 amending the Arcadia Municipal
Code to limit and regulate the keeping of equine (horse, mule, jack,
colt) and bovine (ox, steer, bull, cow, calf)' animals, and amending
'Sections 9251.1.4 (R-O zone) and 9252.1.4 (R-l zone), pertaining to
the keeping of horses.
Mayor Gilb remarked that the members of the City Council have had
all the material on this subject -- the previous meetings of the
City Council and Planning Commission for the past three weeks and
have reviewed remarks of persons who spoke at these meetings. He
wished to point this out so that people will not feel it,necessary
to repeat these remarks. However, if there are new or additional
remarks to be made, Council will be happy to hear them.
Councilmember Harbicht explained the background of this matter
which came about primarily because of new development on Eighth
Avenue. "The horse regulations in this community have been in
effect for twenty years with zoning regulations going back forty
years., Things haven't changed, but what has changed is that some
of ,the owners in that area have decided to subdivide their land
and they have been allowed to do that for forty years and no one
minded until recently; That's fine -- that is'one of the property
rights guaranteed to them. But the existing Code forbids the keeping
of horses within 100 feet of a dwelling. So what it means is that
you can have a situation where horses have been on a piece of property
for 10, 20, 30, 40 years and the property next door is subdivided and
by virtue of someone next door building a house on the back of his
property and all of a sudden the horse owner's right ,to have"his
horses is abridged. They can't have it any more under our existing
Codes. That has been the case for all of this time. Of course, the
horse owners in the area are concerned about this and they should
be concerned. The City Council has shared that concern and as a
result of the fact that Council shared that concern asked the
Planning Department to prepare an ordinance that would protect
the existing horses and allow them to remain and not to be forced out
as a result of their neighbor building a house closer to them. This
went to the Planning Department and the Planning Commission and
that's ,where we are.
"Basically the proposal at that time was simply to grandfather in
the horses that are already in existence as long as they are 35 feet
from any new house -- the 35 feet is a ruling of the County Health
Department so there is nothing Council can do about that. In the
great majority of cases, this will protect the horses and I am
100% in fa.vor of doing that. Unfortunately, when we start studying
something like this -- if you study any ordinance that we have and
take a good har~ look at it, you will find things that could be
7/21/87

r-J

~~ ~
changed or something that could be improved, etc., etc. And
that's what happened when the Planning Commission started going
through this. They looked at the ordinance and came up with a lot
of chan~es or separate changes, some suggested by the Department
and some by the Planning Commission. What I am afraid of here is
that in trying to do one simple little thing, we're opening up
a whole can of worms. I believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix
it.
"These ordinances were working just fine -- we haven't had problems I
with horses that we haven't been able to enforce -- it was going along
fine. There'are"some violations of the ordinance now. I submit
to you that if you look at the Municipal Code -- all of the ordinances
that we have -- that there are thousands of violations in this City
every day of our Municipal Code. And what we do is we enforce these
violations on a complaint basis. We don't have anybody going around
peeking into kitchen windows and looking over back fences trying to
catch our citizens in some violation. If there is a complaint,
then the City reacts to that complaint and goes out to see if there
is a violation. That has been the situation with all of the City
ordinances and with this particular ordinance. That's the way it
has served us well. I'n not saying it is a perfect ordinance --
no, it's not a perfect ordinance. We could find a lot of things to
change.' I guess what I am saying is that I personally would like
to see us take care of what we started out to take care of and
that is 'grandfather in those horses that are currently there --
protect them from having their rights abridged by virtue of someone
subdividing his property and stop at that point because I don't think
there is any more justification of going through with a fine toothed
comb of this 'ordinance than there is on most of the other ordinances
that we have. It happens that this one is before us because the horse
people looked at it and came up with a lot of these things and sugges-
tions -- and a lot of them are good, but this is working fine the way
it is and I am wondering if the rest of the Council feels the same way.
If you do, then we can focus on that one particular thing."
Councilmember Young said she felt the same way. Councilmember Lojeski
agreed. Councilmember Chandler said he "felt the same way and"in
addition, I definitely would like to revert back to the 35 feet
decided by the County which would protect the horse owners. This
all began with the Linda Way project which came up almost a year ago
and, quite frankly, I would like to go back to the way things were
before that project ever hit the fan and that is a fait accompli
now in terms of that it is going to happen, with one exception, and
that is to add this protection for the horse owners and leave every-
thing the way it is and to only enforce the regulations as usual by
complaint. I am not in favor of rezoning that area~.
Mayor Gilb said he agreed with Councilmember Harbicht and what we I
are really talking about is focusing on two situations -- grandfatherin
in the horses and the 35 feet from the nearest residence. Council-
member Harbicht added that at one time there was the matter of the
number of horses on the property, but that is no longer an issue
before Council at this time.
Mayor Gilb said if there are no further remarks, the public hearing
wi 11 be opened.
Evin Ginsberg, 1774 Las Palmas Drive, La Habra, attorney for Ron
Mklrrins, who spoke later regarding the keeping of horses, said there
are two sides to the subject issue ... that the Council should grand-
father in the horses, but it should be for both sides, i. e., someone
buil ds a house and then someone buys the lot next door and moves' i:n
with horses within 35 feet. The ordinance should remain the way it
is and start enforcing it. People are constructing large, beautiful
houses in this area and they do not want the nuisance of horseflies.

Ron Mullins, 301 W. Norman Avenue, said, in part, that he also
owns horses but, by choice, does not have them in his back yard.
In his particular case, he came first and then the horses came in
within,20 feet of his guest house. He felt the horses should be
protected, but the homeowners also.
Harold Ellis, 1504 S. Ei9hth Avenue, stated, in part, that a great
deal of interest has been created on both sides'of this issue. He
noticed a few changes in the regulations and felt perhaps a committee
should be formed to review them. He did feel the old regulations
were working and why change them? Mayor Gilb submitted, in part, that
the Council is prepared to grandfather in the existing horses, retain
the provision for them to be kept within 35 feet of the adjacent homes
and there would be a new proVision whereby all new horses brought in
would have to be kept 100 feet from the nearest residence or guest
house.
Robert Hatchman, 1406, 1408 s. Eightb Avenue. He has control of 1410
also. He spoke at length about the new regulations which he did not
fu~ly understand. He said buildings have gone in which were in
violation of the existing Code, but the property owners with horses
have rights, too. He hoped the issue could be settled without legal
battles and damage suits. He spoke of the enjoyment his family has
had from the property and its use since 1952 and expects to have
his children and grandchildren enjoy the property rights that he has
and he does not expect to have them taken away easily.
Robert Kladifko, 348 W. Las Flores Avenue, expressed appreciation to
Council for allowing the property owners to show some of the horse
properties recently and for the time spent by staff in formulating
the regulations. He made one suggestion to add to the regulations:
"The City Council has determined that the ownership of horses or
other equ i ne is an important trad i ti on and an asset to the community".
He felt all those interested are in favor of the decision which may
be voted by Council to retain the policies which have been in effect
in the past.
No one else desiring to be heard, the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION
by Councilmember Harbicht, seconded by Councilmember Lojeski and
CARRIED.
It was then MOVED by Councilmember Harbicht, seconded bY'oCounci,lmember

Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, referred to an item on the agenda
for this evening -- study of a possible trash-by-rail proposal. He
was advised that Council intends to look at all possibilities. He
also suggested Council might review lease controls ... a new owner
could change the rules (relating to a former discussion on signs).
Reference was also made to the increase in water rates and staff
advised that the CitY,has established a reserve,against the time
when there might be a drought and that is why the City's rates are
the lowest of any other city in the area. It was submitted that
this may be another drought year and residents should be careful
in the use of water.

Bill Lewis, 901 Volante Drive, President ,of Rancho Santa Anita
'Residents' Association, stated, in part, that he knows that the
roofing issue has been tabled, but he did conduct a survey and
because of the great amount of expense and time that went into
,this, he would like to give Council the results of it. In his.
area he had over a 40% response rating on that survey which probably
was a pretty high response. Of this, over 80% were opposed to
fibreglass roofing; 5.7% were undecided on this issue and only 34
cards came in in favor of the fibreglass roofing. There are a
total of 295 cards -- 34 were in favor of fibreglass -- 245 were I
against fibreglass and 17 undecided. 25-30 people came to his
house plus numerous phone calls. He felt there was some confusion
on the part of the 34 who were 'in favor of ' fibre glass roofing --
they mainly were stating that they were in 'favor of 'fi,re retardant
roofing which we are all in favor of. Mayor Gilb thanked him for
all the work that he had done.
Bill Wyman, 5D7 Monte Vista, Chairman of the Architectural Review
Board, reiterated Bill Lewis' statement and said ,they have 760 homes
io'the area. He'had m~breglass shingles on display~for anyone, who
wi shed' to see them: and "18' home, owners came by"to see them" . Also
dtscossions were held on other materials and costs.

Consideration of request from San Gabriel Valley Association of
Cities Solid Waste Management Task Force to participate in a waste-
by-rail feasibility study. The total cost of the study would be
$135,000; the cost to Arcadia would be $3,812. The State Waste
Management Board has committed $25,000 to the study; SCAG has
committed $30,000 of its own funds; leaving a balance of $80,000
to be contributed by the others who would benefit by the study.
Attention was drawn to an article in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune
stating that Supervisor Schabarum has offered a $25,000 contribu-
tion for the study from the Los Anqeles County.
