Andreas Lykos, 1035 Loma Verde, referred to the construction of
a second story to a dwelling next door to his residence (1033).
He felt this will be an invasion of his privacy and said, in part,
that about 80% of the residents in the area are opposed to such
expansion. Staff advised that as long as the construction of the
second story complies with all City building codes, the construction
cannot be prevented. Council empathized with Mr. Lykos and one of
the Councilmembers (Mr. Gilb) said he had experienced the same
situation, but there was nothing to be done as lon~ as all require-
ments were met.
I
Murielle Rose, 2427 S. Baldwin Avenue, addressed the Council to try !
to obtain help with regard to problems she is having with residents
of an apartment building next to her property. The apartment build- !
ing is located at 2419-2433 S. Baldwin Avenue. Apparently there is,
no resident owner or manager. She has complained repeatedly, but had I
obtained no satisfaction. She complained that she is bothered by noise
at all hours of the day and night, litter is strewn on her yard, her I
dog is teased and she has even had a problem with small boys throwing
lighted matches onto her property. Councilmember Young asked if the
noise went on all the time. Ms. Rose said it was worse during the
summer months. Councilmember Young asked how many people might be
occupying an apartment. Ms. Rose said she was not sure, but some-
times the living room looked like a convention center. Council-
member Hannah then made a MOTION, seconded by Councilmember Gilb,
with consensus of Council, that the City Manager look into the
situation and take appropriate action.

Staff advised that Becherer Buick had asked to lease City property
immediately north of the Arcadia Datsun'Dealership at 333 E. Huntington
Drive. Becherer Buick would like to store automobiles for their '
dealership. Staff also advised that it had received a request from
Arcadia Datsun that they would like to continue the use of said property.1
Counci1member Gilb stated, in part, that Arcadia Datsun has been using
the property... it is contiguous to their own; they have carried I
insurance on it during this time and he felt it would be unfair to
take it away from them. Whereupon he MOVED that the subject 'property
be leased to Arcadia Datsun under the terms of agreement set forth
in the communication dated May 7 for $300 per month. Motion seconded
by Counci1member Young.
Prior to taking the roll call vote, Alton Scott, 436 Fairview Avenue,
owner of Becherer Buick, stated, in part, that it was his understanding
that Arcadia Datsun has been using the property without the authoriza-
tion or any agreement. He noted the various conditions they would
have to meet, whereas Arcadia Datsun has not been asked to do those
things. He felt they should have been given the opportunity to offer
$300 per month and they are willing to comply with all the require-
ments. Mayor Pellegrino acknowledged what Mr. Scott is submitting,
but said, in part, that Arcadia Datsun has made minor improvements and
has been carrying insurance for a number of years. He then called for
the roll call vote.

Service with the application of KMAX-FM Radio to build a 290 foot
tall tower north of the City boundary. Mr. Hawkins noted the numerous

to such construction. Due to the environmental study and the public
comments there will not be such a tall tower built. They are now
looking at.alternatives. Mr. Hawkins submitted a summary of the
alternatives and opposition or support, including the Forest Service

Noted some problems with some of the Chinese and Korean residents
in connection with principal requirements of the community, i.e.,
what is, considered a single family residence, cutting down trees,
parking on lawns, etc. He suggested guidelines be drawn up for
the benefit of the new residents ... also felt signs which are
printed in a foreign language should a1so'be printed in English ...
take the case ,of paramedics endeavoring to locate an address '"
said he noticed in Monterey Park where a large number of signs
were printed in oriental languages only.
Agreed and suggested that the Board of Realtors and the Chamber of
Commerce ,could become involved.
Felt it was an excellent idea and that the requirements could be
an addendum to the Sign Ordinance.
Referred to concerns which constituents have expressed to him about
meetings of from 15 to 20 people in a residence which are held for
church purposes on Sunday mornings. ... It may all be proper but he
would like to know what constitutes a church. The City Manager said
the staff is working on this now.
