Commendations and congratulations were then presented to Former Mayor Hannah from the following: U. S. Senator Pete Wilson Assemblyman Richard Mountjoy U. S. Congressman Carlos Moorhead County Supervisor Pete State Senator, Newton R. Russell Schabarum Art Hershey, President, Arcadia Chamber of Commerce "I've got a fourteen page document here I want to read about the accomplishments of the City Council during this past year, but I will forego all of that and tell you that without this' Council we couldn't have accomplished very much. I want to thank my associates on the Council for their cooperation and, needless to say, I think that the City is in good hands with this group of individuals. Secondly, you know, I always think about things after I'm in bed and I'm sure you do, too, what you should have said and I probably should have had my ..>, wife up here while I was getting these awards. I think she's entitled to the recognition given me -- more than I am, so I really do appreciate my wife, Nancy's, sacrifices, her guidance, her counsel. And, not necessarily in chronological order, I am going to introduce the other close members of my family -- my daughter, Jennifer Mary -- also -- my granddaughter, Stacey; and I appreciate my hard-working son-in-law, Bob Hillman and my lovely and thoughtful daughter, Susan. "Things don't happen in the City without shakers and movers. We have shakers and movers in the City -- the Counci1person is the number one shaker and mover -- they run the City -- there is no question about that -- they make the policy, but it takes more than somebody making the policy -- it takes somebody to implement the policy. So, I couldn't conclude my remarks without thanking not only George, but Chet, Madam City Clerk and all the others -- Cindy Rowe has been absolutely fantastic, Pete Kinnahan, Bill Woolard -- without their support and imp1ementationl of the policies of the Council, this City would not be what it is today I want to compliment them. Thank you." "As your elected Mayor of the City of Arcadia, first, I would 1 ike to offer my sincere thanks for the confidence you have placed in me. There are a few thoughts I would like to put before you this evening ... thoughts which have not only political implications, but are significant to Arcadia fr.om both the social and economic point of view. First of all, econom- '.ically, Arcadia has a budget of over twenty-two million dollars n 36% of this is designated for Fire and Police; 10% for Public Works; 17% of tne City's funds goes to our Water System; 4% goes to our Dia1-A-Ride;' 4% goes for street construction and maintenance and 4% to our Library. This means that you have entrusted a large responsibility to your Council in terms of fiscal projection and judgment. Socially, the demographics of .the City have changed; the social and ethnic breakdown of Arcadia are drastically different than it was even five years ago. 4/16/85 -2- I' I' 1 ' , I';: I ,,', PELLEGRINO YOUNG GILB LOJESKI ,,' 25 :120'7 '~s Councilmembers we must keep in mind the needs of all of the citizens so that their transition' to our City goes smoothly and is accompanied by a sense of loyalty and responsibility. As Council- members, we are faced with the task' of building an awareness in the community. We must be aware of the changes that occur daily in Arcadia. This is where the citizen -- each one of you -- must be involved. City government'must gear itself each day to work within the realm of the unknown '-~ disaster preparedness, senior citizens needs'and citizens ,protection against crime are but a few of the considerations. I' ask all of the'citizens to be constantly alert to these dangers, to conti hua lly i n'form us, your Counc il members ; and approach C,ity government with the sincerity which will allow us to' respond effectively in light of :these changes. "I would like to introduce my wife, Gin'a. And I am honored tonight to have my daughter "Becky ,here with my granddaughter , Natal ie and my grandson, Steven, and my son',' Dona 1 d, here. My father-i n-l aw is here and my sister,and'her son, 'Ralph, my Aunt Edna and Uncle Louie, and my Aunt Barbara and Uncle Joe from Michigan." "It has been a pri vil ege to serve wi th all of you. I have enjoyed this'past year greatly and look forward to moving ahead with you during the next year. I would like taintroduce my family who are here tonight because, without them and the support that they give, none of us could do, any thing. My husband of forty years, Dick Young -~ my oldest son cannot be here ~- lives just a tad too far 'away -- he and his family are in El Toro. But I have here tonight my daughter, Carolyn, and her husband, Howard Giffis, who was a real hard worker in my campaign, and my newest grandson, Forest,and Carolyn's twin brother, Bob, his,wife, Cindy, ,and two more grandchildren, Loren and Reed. I love you all and' appreciate your being here tonight.' Thank you." ' , ' "My family 1's not 'here tonight. My wife is w,ith my daughter at the hospital -- nothing,seri6us~ But I wish to say that I have just completed nine years on,the Council and many people I have served with are sitting in the audience -- I see Jack Saelid, Bob Margett out there and some of the others" I enjoyed the nine years and hope I last three more. Thankyou.H ' "I would 1 ike to introduce my family -- my greatest supporters out there -- my wife, Janet and my son, Brian and 'my daughter, Michelle. I also would like,to extend my thank you to the citizens of Arcadia. This really is a joint effort up here. Each meeting, each year that goes by, each week, each moment you become totally, one hundred per cent engrossed in what is going on in our City. I wish to extend mY ,thanks again'for the opportunity given me three years ago to come onto the Council. It has been a learning three years -- every day on this Countil is a learning experience. It truly is an honor to be able to serve this City in whatever capacity, but particularly 'on the City Counc il . "I want to extend my own personal congratulations to our outgoing Mayor, Dave -- you have done a great job this year -- you have taken us through some tough times and some good times and, again, thank you very' much for leading us, in that direction -- a very commendable job. I \\ would like to congratulate both Don for coming back as Mayor for the third time and Mary, Young, our new Mayor Pro Tempore. I also would like to thank an excellent City staff, from top to bottom, those citizens of you that are here and come to make the Council meeting every so often -- some'of you are regulars. I appreciate that person- ally. You know, it can't be done without someone behind the wings and usually that is your City staff. They do a tremendous job and they are all to be commended and complimented. \ 4/16/85 /' -3- LOJESKI ROLL CALL 1. HEARING APPEAL 300 Fa i rvi ew LOT SPL IT (APPROVED), l' $ 5pl' I 0" p:/...1 IN FAVOR OPPOSING . " 25: 1208 ". , "I personally am very proud of this Council's accomplishments this past year. I think time will tell and will show the citizens that this Council -- despite times that we may have disagreed on items or time that we unaminous1y agreed on items -- will probably go down as one of the hardest working Councils that have served the City. I am proud of our accomplishments during the past year. I am going to be more ,proud of them.as the year goes on and as the years go on. We have gone through some difficult decisions. I think that's only started the road. We are in for a lot more difficult decisions, I but I am convinced that this Council can handle the challenge with the leadership that is here and the citizens in the City of Arcadia will be very proud of what we attempt to accomplish. Thank you very much." R E C E S S Council reconvened. Roll Call of the reorganized Council. PRESENT: ABSENT: Counci1members Gi1b, Hannah, Lojeski, Young and Pellegrino None Council had appealed the granting of tentative Parcel Map 85-5 to create two lots .from one lot .at 300 Fairview Avenue. A petition had been filed from adjacent residents opposinq the lot split and Council scheduled this hearing to provide an opportunity for all those interest- ed to be heard. The developers are Mur-So1, !rico (Dan Grohs and Richard Ruiz) . Staff .exp1ained that both lots would comply with all code require- ments and, as a result of the lot split, the house on Parcell would have a 31' to 40' rear yard setback from the new property line. The code requires a minimum of 35' 0" rear yard setback. The Planning Commission voted 6 to 1 for approval. The Commissioner voting in opposition felt the proposed lot split would create lots which would not be in conformance with the neighborhood average and he was not in favor of allowing the setback modification. Mayor Pellegrino declared the hearing open and Richard Ruiz, Mur-So1, Inc., 40 E. Huntington Drive, explained that the second lot is a yard that is unsightly, covered with weeds and is basically unkempt. They intend to build a new single family residence if Council approves the lot spl it. He noted steps which have been taken to insure that they I have a solid contract with the seller if the lot split is granted. In , response to questions, Mr. Ruiz said he realizes the neighbors do not ,~ favor a two story dwelling to be constructed on the new lot and he wi1 j now assure them that he will construct a one story dwell i11g which woul 1 conform with the neighborhood. Subject to Council action, the escrow would be ready to close '" if he does not obtain the lot split, the escrow would not exist. The seller has signed a Grant Deed for use if the lot split is granted. They would be willing to make that a condition of approval... also a condition that they would construct a one story building. The City Attorney explained that he could create a binding legal instrument to effectuate that. Mrs. Morise Marsden, 310 Fairview Avenue, said, in part~ that she and her neighbors are opposed to this lot split... that it would affect the appearance and the value of their property... if the lot split is approved, the parcel facing Fairview would be so small that there wou.1.d be a violation, the existing dwelling does not comply with the required 35 feet from the rear property line. She deplores the situation at 300 Fairview with the lack of a driveway, cars parking on the apron, the , 4/16/85 -4- I I REBUTTAL 25 :1209 unkp.mpt _~ear_yard and_ reducino the size nf the lnt,_ in her_-(lpinio'1, would not solve the problem. - Ginny Yount, 265 W. Duarte Road, N/W corner of Park and Duarte. Her backyard borders the subject property. She felt the builder would not construct a house in keeping with the conservative neighborhood ... she has not been assured they will not build a two story dwelling. She noted the surrounding facilities and felt their neighborhood is an oasis of homes. Her home backs up to the vacant lot now and their recreation area is right next to the vacant lot. Tfieir view would also be diminished. William Rasmussen, 273 W. Duarte Road, spoke in opposition to the proposal as he felt the remaining house and lot would be too small for the neighbor. hood; the values of the neighborhood would be affected. He noted that the same application had been before the Planning Commission sometime ago; that Planning had approved it ... that action was appealed and Council had denied. He asked Council to deny the lot split. Glenna Rasmussen, 273 W. Duarte Road, said, in part, that the rear of her lot is against the lot in question. She noted that all of the houses in her block face north or south and this has preserved the uniqueness of the area. The new house would be in an east/west position and perhaps two story. She urged Council to deny the lot split. Pat Grannis, 318 Fairview Avenue, said she would not like to lose the urban setting of the area... with the large lots... the country atmosphere. David Yount, 265 W. Duarte Road, was advised that the lot line was apparently angled so that the lot could be designed to comply with the code requirements ... that the possibility of a two story house had already been addressed. In rebuttal to some of the questions raised, Mr. Ruiz said, in part, that all of the homes on Park Avenue face east and west ... that he emphathized with the residents who want the large lots, but the new lot would not affect the size of their lots for their own personal use. He said once more that they definitely will not build a two story home. Dan Grohs, also one of the developers, said they would be willing to do wnatever they could legally to assure the neighbors that a one story house would be constructed. In response to a question, Mr. Grohs said, in part, that they have endeavored to purchase the existing house on the lot to no avail. The condition of the house was discussed and Mr. Grohs said it is hoped that the owner, once the sale has gone through, will improve the property and the escrow papers indicate that the seller 'will relocate the garage at his expense prior to the close of escrow. No one else desiring to be heard, the,hearihg was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilmember Gilb, seconded by Councilmember Hannah and CARRIED unanimously. Councilmember Young said, in part, that she was impressed by the oppo?ition expressed by the neighbors -- that she had inspected the property which does need a lot of help ... that having lived near property that was divided and a large one story house was constructed ... they are so close together that she has concerns for their backyard privacy ... having lived in Arcadia for a long time, she would not favor the lot spl it. , Councilmember Hannah said, in part, that it is an unusual piece of property... with 300 ft.- frontage on Fairview, and spreads out to 171 ft. to the rear ... the other properties are all 90 ft. He did not think it would be an injustice for the residents in the area to permit the lot split, and noted that 'all of the properties on Park Avenue face east and west. He agreed with the persons who have spoken and that he, too, wants to keep the large lots as much as possible, but he felt ft would be unfair to deny this lot split because of the irregularity- and size of the lot. -5- 4/16/85 2, 3, 3a.

The prepesed split .of beth lets cemp1ies with all cede requirements, except for the one variance which is the rear yard setback. He would like to see the one house improved and iq , weu1d be nice if the developer could purchase that house ... he felt that perhaps the opposition wouldn't be so severe if that were the cite. He weu1d have to favor the lot split at this point. Ceunci1member Gi1b said, in part, that it would be difficult te turn- down a lot split which meets all code requirements and was approved by the Planning Commission on a 6 to 1 vote unless there is something different. He noted that the builder has agreed to a one story house a _c, it will el iminate a problem piece of property from a property maintenance standpeint. He felt the builders are quality and- he weu1d faver the lot sp1 it. Mayor Pe 11 egri no called for a MOTION. It was MOVED by Counc i 1menber Hannah, seconded by Counci 1 member G11 b and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that Council find that the propesed project is consistent with the Arcadia General Plan; that the discharge of sewage from the subdivision into the public sewer system will not violate requirements prescribed by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board for this region; meve te approve and file the Negative Declaration; find that the project will not have a signifb. cant effect on the environment and that the preject be APPROVED subjec{ te all cenditions set forth in the staff report and as modified by the Council at this meeting- -- the requirement that the structure be one story, At this point, Counci1member Gi1b was advised by the City Atterney on what steps could be taken to assure the one story building sheu1d, for seme reason, the transaction not materialize between the developers and the owner.

Huntington Drive, attorney for the Hendersons,propounded questions: 1) what is the public necessity and interest that requires the City to use Eminent Domain; 2) they have not been provided with details on the planned project; 3) why the immediate need; and 4) what other properties have already been purchased. What are the appraisa1S1 for said properties? He asked for a complete copy of the appraisal of land fixtures of the Henderson property. Mr. Duffy said the Henderson would like to know why, specifically, his property is necessary for a proposed project and why is it being singled out for eminent domain? He asked that the Agency vote "no" at least at this point until the questions are resolved before they have to go into court and have the court decide the questions. Staff responded to the questions, in part, as to the necessity -- the Agency adopted a redevelopment plan in 1973 which sets forth certain specific objectives. Among them is the removal and elimination of slums and blight in the redevelopment area. In 1989 a specific plan was adopted for the East Huntington area ... there was also a zone change and a land use plan that accompanied that amendment. The Agency is now attempting to carry out that plan by the process of land assembly. ,There are numerous developers who have expressed an interest to develop in that area and the Agency is proceeding with land acquisition in the hopes that someday the project area will be developed. As to the appraisals '" those that are completed are a matter of public record and can be made available. The appraisals in this case are a private matter until such time as the Agency gets into a discovery process in an eminent domain action. Staff also advised that it would not pay for appraisals... that is the responsibility of the individual. The Henderson property is not being singled out -- there are others -that have been acquired or are being proposed to acquire. The Agency owns most of the residential property along Third Avenue and is proceeding with the acquisition of the remainder. It was also noted that there would be relocation benefits for the Hendersons under the redevelopment law. Mr. Henderson then said, in part, that he has been willing to negotiate but not anxious for his own reasons. He felt he deserves more than what has been offered... there is a better way of doing business and this isn't fair. Discussion ensued and it was MOVED by Member Gi1b, seconded by Member Young and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that this hearing be continued to the May 21 meeting -- thereby allowing time for further , negotiations between staff and the Hendersons. ~ AYES: Members Gi1b, Hannah, Lojeski, Young and Pellegrino NOES: None ABSENT: None The Agency considered the Design Review of a proposed 8,000 sq. ft. office/warehouse building at 130 & 134 E.
