Mayor Pellegrino declared the hearing open and Joseph Sargis, 31
E1dorado, introduced Robert Miller, Assistant Dean of Instructional
Education at City College. Mr. Sargis said, in part, that as Trustee
representing this arE!a on the Pasadena City College Board, he was
addressing Section 20, Sub-section 83 (Page 39) of the report indicat-
ing that one channel will be devoted to university level of college
broadcasting as approved by the Counci~. Mr. Sargis noted that PCC
has beE!n delivering instructional television to Sierra Madre and north
Arcadia through Group W. They have taken the leadership in this I
community having pioneered the instructional television ... they have
dedicated a substantial amount of money and resources along with staff
time to deliver the best quality education TV-wise. If the City
Council grants the franchise for the entire City, he requested that
the channel dedicated to university level of college broadcasting
be designated as Pasadena City College ... they would like to be
granted the first three years of operation of the program, after
which Council could review the performance and determine whether
renewal was in order or not.
Counci1member Hannah said, in part, that having spent some time on
the Board of Trustees of Pasadena City College, he could see no harm
in granting the request for the first three years. He felt strongly
about the quality of education being given at the college ... and
pointed out that there are no other takers for this particular channel.

The Plannng Commission, on April 23, 1985, voted 5 to 0 with two
members absent to refer to the City Council Mrs. Marie Hart's appeal
of the Santa Anita Village Community Association's Architectural Review
Board denial of the proposed roofing material (GAF Western Cut Class A
Fiberglass roof) at 805 Coronado Drive. The staff report included the
Planning Commission 's comments and a chronological history of this
matter.
Mayor Pellegrino declared the hearing open and Mrs. Marie Hart, 805
Coronado Drive, distributed copies of a letter she had received from
a Mr. Butler, Registered Engineer and former Building, and Planning
official of Sonoma County. Mrs. Hart read the letter in full, giving
Mr. Butler's opinions as to an adequate material which would be both
durable and acceptable. Mrs. Hart continued, in part, that since June
of 1984 she has been trying to find a roofing material which would be --'
acceptable to the Architectural Review Board, but has been unsuccessful.
She has talked with several contractors and they have all recommended
fibreglass or similar material because of the leakage problem created
by the low pitch of her roof. The material she is hopeful will be
approved is very new and has more thickness and is more dimensional in
appearance.
Mrs. Hart stated further, in part, that she had contacted 340 residents
in the area and they did not object to fibreglass. Reference was made
to the postcard survey made by the Architectural Review Board in which
it was stated that Spanish tile is an acceptable material. She did
not know of any homes in the Village with such roofing and felt that
allowing fibreglass roofing would not lower the property values. She
mentioned meetings with the Architectural Review Board which did not
resolve her problem and noted there are new composition roofs in the
Village which the Board says are bootleg jobs. She wa, hopeful of
aPProval for the roofing material she has in mind.
Mildred Blum, 815 Coronado Drive, said she has seen the damage to Mrs.
Hart's home caused by leaks where her house and the addition in the
back are joined ... at one time Mrs. Hart had a shake roof. Mrs. Blum
continued, in part, that the roofing Mrs. Hart would like to use has
more of a three dimensional appearance than wood shingle which the
Architectural Review Board says is acceptable. She felt this is a
special situation which needs special consider.ation.

A neighbor of Mrs. Hart, residing across the street from her home,
said Mrs. Hart's home is well maintained ana felt consideration
should be afforded in this instance.
Steve Walsh, Arroyo Roofing Company, circulated brochures on fireproof
Cal-Shake Roofing ... he felt about 40% of the Cal-Shake roofs are
defective '" they are so heavy. Mr. Walsh is the contractor for Mrs.
Hart and responded to questions concerning his not obtaining a permit
... saying, in part, that there was a mix-up. Mrs. Hart thought a I
permit could be obtained without permission from the Review Board.
Mr. Walsh submitted that he has worked on other houses in the area,
but not as the primary contractor and was not familiar with the
procedure.
Mrs. Hart's son, James, 657 24th Street, San Pedro, felt that at the
meeting held-rast September, Council thoUQht some kind of
work should be done by the Architectural Review Board to ascertain
whether or not it was reflecting the views of the homeowners. Mr.
Hart submitted a photograph of a home on Cabrillo Road with the same
type of roof.
Jim Novis, 844 Coronado, asked Council to grant the appeal and felt
the issue is whether or not Council is going to substitute its judge-
ment for what is aesthetic for the judgement of the people in the
Village and referred to the petition ... that most of the residents
in the area do not care what material Mrs. Hart uses. He also felt
the survey which the Architectural Review Board took was biased and did
not fulfill the purpose for which it was intended.
OPPOSED
Greg Board, Chairman of the Architectural Review Board, residing at
803 Balboa Drive, spoke at length concerning steps the Board has taken
in this matter. The Board has been prompt and attempted to be open-
minded. The Board held a meeting of the Village with Fire Chief
Gardner in attendance ... Councilmember Young' al,so. Many persons
spoke at the meeting. Mr. Board gave a chronological history of this
matter ... from the first time the Board had met with Mrs. Hart and
her subsequent letters and the visual appraisals of her property.
The Board had made alternative recommendations to Mrs. Hart and spoke
to one in particular that is used for low pitched roofs.
As to the card survey, Mr. Board said, in part, that 284 residents
agreed with the Board in its position. As to the use of Spanish tile
... there was one property and there are some other properties which might
be considered of a Spanish nature ... and Spanish tile might be
harmonious. Mr. Board submitted that the Board looks at good archi-
tectural character based on the principle of harmony and they would
like to see that maintained.
I
In response to a question by Councilmember Hannah as to why it took
from September to January to get a survey done, Mr. Board, said, in
part, that at the time there were misconceptions concerning the
recently approved materials ... they wanted to offer the residents some
real honest information regarding the various 'types of roofing materials
which were available. They interviewed roofing contractors and had
trouble locating the right speaker for the meeting. As to what he
would do if it were his house without a roof, Mr. Board said only,
in part, that Mrs. Hart had come to the Board with material that
abrogated some forty years of tradition and was unwilling to look
at other materials.

Councilmember Hannah said, in part, that he is very much in favor of
Architectural Review Boards ... they serve a valid purpose ... he was
only questioning the time in this instance and made reference to an
experience he had had some years ago when he had to wait almost six
weeks for approval of a simple addition. He felt that in this partic-
ular case. the Board was a little remiss in getting to the problem
and solving it.
Jack Sae1id, 821 Balboa Drive said, in part, that he understands that
any application which was presented properly would take no more than
10 days to two weeks. The four months in this instance apparently
was the time it took to make the survey of the residents. He had
attended the meeting referred to by Mr. Board and felt it was done
in an extremely objective manner, giving the residents an opportunity
to become familiar with what was being presented. He noted that
architectural compatibility requirements have been in effect in the
area since it was developed some 40 years ago. There have been ex-
ceptions ... there are about 16 non-conforming out of 632 homes in
the Village and when 97% of the homeowners adhered to the rules, he
felt it would be unfair to them to now change the rules to favor
the applicant who attempted to reroof in violation of the Code.
Referring to the change which now prohibits untreated wood shakes
or shingles, he felt the Council has a responsibility to support
the Architectural Review Boards of the various homeowners groups as
they, as the Santa Anita Village Association has done, continue to
evaluate alternative materials for architectural compatibility. In
conclusion, Mr. Sae1id asked Council to uphold the qualities of the
City and to enforce the high standards by denying the appeal.
~raig Lucas, 853 Balboa Drive, President of the Santa Anita Village
ssociation, compared the petition taken by Mrs. Hart and the card
survey taken by the Architectural Review Board. The Hart petition was
a hand-held, face-to-face signature campaign which did not permit
choice or comment ... whereas the postcard survey was received by
persons who knew the choices and there was room on the card to respond.
The survey was preceded by a public meeting, by newsletters from the
Association in an attempt to put as much objective information into
the hands of the respondent as possible.
Mr. Lucas continued, in part, that Mrs. Hart has placed herself in
the situation by not complying with the Village requirements and
placed herself in a state of peril by removing the roof without a
permit. The fact that she waited for a change in the law which never
came about is not the responsibility of the homeowners group or the
City Council and is only the responsibility of the homeowner.
I
Mr. Lucas submitted that he had researched the records in'City Hall
and noted several locations in the Village area on which no permit
was indicated for replacement of roofs ... some locations with stop-
work orders. There are some 14 non-conforming roofs in the area
today. In response to a question by Mayor Pellegrino. Mr. Lucas replied,
in part. that any recourse would be quite expensive ... an injunction
to remove the non-conforming material. Reliance on the rules is an
important factor ... the standard which has been developed during the
last 45 years in the Village is not out of touch with reality or
economics and asked the Council to uphold the standards. He encouraged
Council to acknowledge and recognize the response of 284 homeowners
asking that the present stanqargs be maintained. He asked that the
appeal be denied.
5/21/85

25:1239
Jessie Young, 531 Drake Road, saidcshe lives in an adobe house with a
rock roof and they would have to reroof soon. She would like to
use fibreglass material and said the fibreglass shingles are used
throughout the City and in areas considered much more expensive than
in the Village. She doesn't know what it would look like -- if they
are permitted to use that material. Mrs. Young said Council should
take into consideration there may be disasters such as nuclear war-
fare, an earthquake and fires ... with the wind draft in her area ...
there wouldn't be an Association or a Village for that matter.
Dennis Marolt, 936 Hugh Reid Drive, spoke to the petition circulated
on behalf of Mrs. Hart and the way it was presented to him. He almost
signed it out of compassion for Mrs. Hart, but he didn't because he
knew the roofing policy for the area.
In rebuttal, Mrs. Hart said, in part, that she did not know of the
procedure for obtaining a permit to have the roof stripped. She did
ask her roofer to go to City Hall and that is where they learned they
had to first go to the Architectural Review Board ... this was before
she signed a contract. Years ago there were no alternatives in roof-
ing material... shingle and shake roofs. She noted the comments made
at the meeting held by the Association where one person said he was
going to reroof with fibreg1ass and Mr. Board advised him that was not
approved and the discussion was not continued. She did not receive an
answer when Mr. Board was told there were several homeowners in the area
who had problem roofs and asked what provision was being made for them.
In conclusion, Mrs. Hart said she felt the City has a responsibility
to the residents.
Councilmember Young said, in part, that she was in attendance at
the meeting held by the Architectural Review Board and referred to
the gentleman who was putting a fibreglass roof on his home in LaCanada.
He also said his home is two and a half stories high ... 200 feet back
from the street and under a lot of trees. She felt this makes quite
a bit of difference from a house that is about 40 feet from the street.
The hearing was then CLOSED on MOTION by Councilmember Hannah, seconded
by Councilmember Young and CARRIED unanimously.
Councilmember Young stated, in part, that she had lived in the subject
area for many years ... when there were deed restrictions ... was
very pleased when a Homeowners Association was formed with an Archi-
tectural Review Board to uphold those restrictions. Her opinion has
not changed. She did not want to place a hardship on homeowners, but
also did not want to place a hardship on future homeowners the
uniqueness of the City is relied upon by these standards. She would
have to vote for denial of the appeal.
Councilmember Hannah stated, in part, that he is very much in favor
of the time and effort the people of Arcadia give to the City for
purposes of Architectural Review Boards, City Commissions, building
of floats, etc. The Architectural Review Boards serve a valid purpose
in maintaining the integrity of an area, however, he had doubts about
the two surveys that were presented ... he did not really feel they
convinced him of the desire of the people in that particular area.
Councilmember Gilb expressed sympathy for Mrs. Hart and the situation
but was not convinced that the 340 signatures on her petition re-
present 340 homes, like he believed the 287 do -- represent the homes
-- that would mean that the majority of the people in the area want
the restrictions taken off ... he did not believe that ... and would
vote for denial of the appeal.

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
Mrs. Angela ~, 1320 Oakwood Drive, spoke at length concerning
the use of foreign languages in the City instead of English. She
explored her background stating, in part, that her parents came
to America from Western Europe and, upon coming to this country,
learned the English language, became citizens and entered into the
way of life of their chosen country. She referred to signs which
are appearing in the City which are not in English and objected to
any taxpayers' money being spent to prepare instructions for building,
corrmercia 1 advertiSing or the 1 i ke, bei ng in theori ental or any other
foreign language. Mrs. Supp felt strongly that the City officials
should "reach out", sit down and have "eyeball to eyeball" discussions
with the new residents and try to live in harmony.

CITY MANAGER
Staff submitted three plot plans indicating potential locations for
relocating various City Yard functions ... the City Garage could be
relocated to the south side of LaPorte Street between First and
Second Avenues. The Water Department function could be relocated
to the Water Department's Orange Grove Plant located on Orange Grove
Avenue between Hyland and Santa Anita Avenues. The Public Works Yard
(including the General Services Warehouse and storage uses) could be
relocated on City owned property south of Live Oak adjacent to the
Santa Anita Wash and north of the Three Par Golf Course.
I
It was noted in the staff report that contacts have been made with
consulting firm of Michael Brandman Associates in connection with the
preparation of an Environmental Impact Report for the project and would
focus on traffic, noise and the use and storage of potentially hazard-
ous materials (i. e., gasoline, paints, thinners, etc.) for each of
the suggested locations. The cost for this EIR would be approximately
$10,800.
Discussion held on holding a scoping meeting in order to receive
public input on issues which should be addressed in the EIR. Such
a meeting is not required by law, however, such meetings may be used
to obtain early public input reducing the potential for later project
delays due to issues being raised which were not originally addressed
in the draft EIR.
It was MOVED by Councilmember Gilb, seconded by Councilmember Lojeski
and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that staff be directed to

of the required Environmental Impact Report at a fee of $10,800.

MATTERS FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS
Council concurred in Counci1member Gi1b's suggestion that staff
obtain ordinances from other cities, including Temple City, regard-
ing signs to ascertain what they are doing about signs in foreign
languages ... all toward the review of Arcadia's sign ordinance.
Council was in accord with Counci1member Lojeski's suggestion that
staff contact the developers who were interested in developing the
South side of Huntington Drive and including the City Yard area.
This in an endeavor to ascertain whether or not they are still
interested and, if so, to resubmit proposals within a maximum of
60 days. This has come about inasmuch as Council is considering
the relocation of the City Yard facility.
At 11 :00 p. m. Council adjourned to 7:00 p. m., June 4, 1985 in the
Conference Room to conduct the business of the Council and Agency and
any Closed Session necessary to discuss personnel, litigation matters
and evaluation of properties.
