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."

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 Lojeski, seconded by Counci1member Young and CARRIED.

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.

Baldwin Avenue) (APPROVED ) o~ (t 29 :0239 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. 7/21/87 -3- 4. PUBLIC HEARING (Text Amendment 87-12 Banners/ Flags) (APPROVED) j 29:0240 It was then MOVED by Councilmember Harbicht, seconded by Council- member Lojeski and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that Modification M-87-61 be APPROVED' to include the conditions of approval set'forth in staff report dated July 21, 1987. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmembers Chandler, Harbicht, Lojeski and Gilb Councilmember Young None It was further MOVED by Councilmember Harbicht, seconded by I Councilmember'Lojeski and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that the architectural design be APPROVED with two reservations: one that the northerly driveway be cited on the final plan with the approval of the Traffic Engineer and ,two, that the developer return to Council sometime in the near future with some alternative color combinations. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Counci1members Chandler, Harbicht, Lojeski and Gi1b Councilmember Young (concerned with the traffic situation) None 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 CARRIED. 7/21/87 -4- I I , ' .'>1 5. PUBLI C HEARING (Text Amendment 86-3) (APPROVED) VJ ..)..0.. t ' 29:0241 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 Declaration be approved and filed; and find that the Text Amendment will not have a significant effect on the environment; and direct staff to prepare the appropriate ordinance for introduction. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmembers Chandler, Harbicht, Lojeski, Young and Gilb None None 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 -5- . .J r-J 29:0242 ~~ ~ 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. 7/21 /87 -6- I, ~~~. I,,~, ,.:-.. I I 6. I 29:0243 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 Young and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that Council APPROVE proposed Code Section 4135.3 and remove Paragraoh B from that Section (swimming pools would be excepted from the 3S foot regulation).

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. 7/21/87 -7- I 7. 8. 8a. ROLL CALL 8b. MINUTE APPROVAL (July 7,1987) (APPROVED) 8c.

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.
