Find that the proposed subdivision, together with the provisions far its design and improvement, is consistent with the City's General Plan and that the discharge of sewage into the public sewer system will not violate requirements prescribed by the California Regional Water Quality Contro'l Board far this region, 3. That the Director of Public Works be AUTHORIZED to approve and execute the subdivision agreement, .4. And that the Tract be APPROVED subject~to'all conditions specified in the staff report of December 18, 1984. I AYES: NOES; ABSENT; Councilmembers Gilb, Lojeski, Pellegrino, Yaung and Hannah None None Consideration of the tentative map of Tract No. 43643 for a proposed 8-lot residential subdivision at the northwest corner of Camino Real and Second Avenue. The site is presently developed with 6 single family dwellings, zoned R-l. The applicant proposes to retain the existing dwelling at 145 E. Camino Real and build seven new homes. The Planning Commission voted 4 to 2 to recommend denial. Those voting against felt the project was too dense for the site and it had too many substandard conditions which, if the development were approved, would be perpetuated for another 30 or 40 years. The two Commissioners in favor felt that, although there were many variances, the majority were minor except for the depth of 2 lots; the develop- ment would lend itself to some unique homesites, enhance the corner and create some dwellings on a cul-de-sac street instead of a busy street. The Planning Department recommended denial because the development is not consistent with the subdivision ordinance and the site is not phYSically suitable for the density of the project. Mayor Hannah declared the hearing open and the developer, Gordan Maddock, 20 W. Orange Grove Avenue, explained in detail how the development came into being -- partly because some of the home- owners had expressed a desire to sell. He said that the major differences he has with the Planning Commission and Department are the lot depths and the setback from the right-of-way. He noted the 'change which has been made by the City since 1978 in the 60 foot street requirement which he felt is too excessive to serve just 3 or 4 homes. Camino Real is a 60 foot wide street and it serves much east(west traffic. He felt the subdivision would be an improvement over what is there now and it would bring in increased property taxes. Mr. Maddock exhibited and explained projecturals and drawings of the subject area and compared his development to others nearby. He responded to questions propounded by Council. He asked Council for favorable consideration and expressed agreement with all conditions speciJied by staff if the tract were approved. J. A. Montgomery, 1969 Cinco Robles, Duarte, felt the aesthetic improvement of the total area would be very beneficial for the City and, although the subdivision does not meet all of the requirements of the latest code, it still would be a definite improvement. William T. Gahr, 1502 S. Second Avenue, addressed the proposed sub- dlYislon'and said, in part, that he resides within 300 ft. of the project. Felt that the recommendations of both the Planning C01T1l\ission .and the Planning Department should carry some weight with Council. The plan is too ambitious and there is too much density for the size of the lots and same of the homes to be torn dawn have recently been remodeled. I 12/18/84 -2- I" '. :;\ 1 REBUTTAL t", 25 :1104 Dan Post, 1514 S. Second Avenue, felt the developer should follow the same standards as in other areas of the City... that if this development does not materialize, there will be other offers. It is not in compliance with the City Code and was opposed. Gordon Maddock said, in rebuttal, that his development is a good one for the site and there could be some modification of the code as has been done in the past for other developments. He commented also that most of the persons in the subject area received copies of the maps. As to an inquiry about constructing two story homes, Mr. Maddock said, in part, that if such a restriction were made on the adjoining properties, he would be happy to comply with such a restriction. He said ,he has done the very best he could with the site and if he were to reduce the subdivision by one,dwelling, he would not have to be before Council... it would have all been settled on the Planning Commisssion level. It was MOVED by Councilmember Pellegrino, seconded by Councilmember Lojeski and CARRIED ,on roll call vote as follows that the Hearing be CLOSED. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmembers Gilb, Lojeski, Pellegrino, Young and Hannah None None Mayor Hannah commented, in part, that in his view an endeavor has been made to follow the configuration of the codes and the Code was changed in 1978 to upgrade the residential areas of the City. He noted there are possibly nine or ten violations, principally on Lots 1,4 and 5 ... he has not been convinced that the project is workable ... and that the density is the problem. Councilmember Young concurred with Mayor Hannah due to the deficiencies currently in existence... to approve the subdivision would only perpetuate the deficiences for a life time of new homes ... she would be opposed also. Councilmember Pellegrino said, in part, that Mr. Maddock has con- structed many facilities in the City of which everyone should be proud., however, Second Avenue is a highly travelled street .,. one of the main arteries from Duarte Road to Las Tunas... he was also concerned about the density. Mayor Hannah said, in part, to Mr. Maddock that "before I vote I would like to comment that you (Mr. Maddock) have been one of the movers and shakers of the real estate business in Arcadia and I certainly hope -- whatever the votes comes out tonight -- that this does not discourage you from possibly coming back to Council with some revision that would satisfy the Planning Commission and staff, as well as the Council". It was MOVED by Councilmember Gilb, seconded by Councilmember Young and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that the tentative map of Tract No. 43643 be DENIED based on the following findings: 1. Find that the proposed map is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans. ~ .., #; 2. Find that the design or improvement of the proposed sub- division is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans. 3. Find that the site is not physically suitable for the type of development. 12/18(84 -3- 4.

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Anthony Landolfo, 850 Arcadia Avenue, spoke to a problem he has been experiencing because of a tree belonging to the City that is growing near his driveway. He would like to put in a sidewalk on the left side of the driveway. The tree is a young tree and, since it has been planted, has caused quite a lot of inconvenience. The roots are menacing the driveway and are pressing up under the apron of ,the dri veway. He woul d 1 i ke to have permi ss i on to remove the tree. He understood from the Director of Public Works that, based on City policy, he could not obtain permission from that Depart- ment. It was explained by the Director that in order to remove a tree, it must be dead, diseased or creates a serious public hazard. In this instance, it is true that the distance between the existing sidewalk to the east and Mr. Landolfo's driveway is rather short. Councilmember Gilb stated, in part, that he had visited the property in question and there are two healthy trees which would remain; that, in his view, a fence would be much better than putting a sidewalk around the subject tree. He felt the tree could be removed and noted that the property owners are willing to pay for the sidewalk and also to remove the tree at their own expense. It was the consensus of Council that City policy be waived in this instance. Mofid Sahar, 311 S. Second Avenue, explained his situation. He has been advised that he must have a Home Occupation Permit and the process to obtain one. Mr. Sahar stated, in part, that he only needs a desk and telephone to receive and make calls concerning his business. He does special effects for motion pictures in Hollywood and the only business he conducts from his home is by telephone. He could not understand why he should contact his neighbors whom he has never met and go through the public hearing process. He was advised to con- tact the Planning Director to see how the matter could be resolved. Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, spoke to a proposed Resolution ~ 5206) vacating a portion of certain air rights on Huntington I Drive in connection with a new medical building to be constructed on the race track property with an overhead connection to the hospital He expressed concern ~hat the City would give air rights without any provision of ever getting them back ... no one knows what the future holds. Mayor Hannah said that the matter will be before Council in public hearing procedure on January 8 and Mr. Fletcher might want to give his input at that time. ~~~~g Lucas, 853 Balboa Drive, speaking on behalf of the Santa Anita 1 age Association, explained, in part, what the Architectural Review Board has done thus far in connection with the roofing problon of Mrs. Marie Hart at 805 Coronado Drive. They have scheduled an open meeting of the Association for January 16, 1985 at the Hugo Reid'Elementary School for the purpose of presenting,a comprehensive ,display of roofing materials, alternatives and ideas. At a later time, the neighborhood will be canvassed to ascertain intentions 12/18/84 , -6.. 10. I lOa., c., d., & e. HEARINGS SCHEDULED (Jan .8,1985) .J / lOb.

In response to a question by Mark Sayer of Pasadena, the City Manager explained that the City was experiencing considerable problems with the young people who were congregating around the neighborhood near the IN-N-OUT Burger at the southeast corner of Colorado and Santa Anita; that the hamburger stand operators consented to close the walk-up service at 10:00 p. m., however, one may still drive through until regular closing time.
