COUNCIL RECONVENED
AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, spoke to the need to learn
to know the different cultures coming into the community; also to
the denial of Council sometime back when it turned down the construc-
tion of second units on a piece of property... referred to as
"Granny flats" ... this could be misunderstood by the oriental popula-
tion as it is a tradition with them to have extended families living
close together. He felt Council could consider ways to remedy the
situation.
Angela ~, 1320 Oakwood Drive, addressed the subject of foreign
signs as she did on May 21 when she stated her objection to the foreign
signs appearing in the City and that if laws were being broken why
was the City not enforcing the laws. She felt solutions should be
addressed to the ill feeiings that seem to be arising, She suggested
eyeball to eyeball communication. Mrs. Supp also felt the concerned
citizens who have written letters deserve some kind of answers and
realized the problem of foreign signs is not an easy one to solve.
Councilmember Lojeski commented that Council has received the material
it requested from staff and copies of ordinances from various cities
as requested. Mrs. Supp said, in part, that the residents would
appreciate knowing what is transpiring. Mayor Pro Tempore Young said
Council will address this and see that pub1 icity is in the local news-
papers.

In response to Councilmember Hannah's question, staff advised that the
antenna modification ordinance is being worked on and will be before
the Planning Commission during the next month. It will apply to both
commercial and residential properties.
Also as to the Duarte Road property which Von's Market was interested in,
staff explained that it is their understanding that the Hinshaw property
in Arcadia and in Whittier has been sold as well as the subject large
vacant parcel. The City Attorney advised that there will be a meeting
on the morrow between himself, the Planning Director and the attorney
representing the parties in the transaction. Council will be updated
thereafter.
Staff responded to a question concerning the status of the small
parcel of property across the street from the Embassy Suites ... that
Embassy had advised that it was no longer interested in obtaining it
for additional parking ... that an answer had been submitted over I
Mayor Pellegrino's signature asking them to reconsider. A reply has
not been received. It was noted that Embassy could pick up 36 parking
spaces and the employees could park there which would certainly free
up more spaces for their guests. Staff will pursue.
In response to question as to the status of the N.W. corner of First
and Huntington property, staff advised that a draft exclusive had been
forwarded to the Halferty Development Company which said it was review-
ing with their attorney. Staff will follow up.
With reference to the piece of property on the west side of Santa Anita
north of Santa Clara (north of the Arcadia Small Animal Hospital), there
is a sign on it now that says Will Build or a Project will be Built.
Council had rezoned the property about a year ago at their request ..,
it is understood that the property is now up for sale. Councilmember
Hannah asked if the property could be changed back to its -former zoning.
Staff will look into this.

In response to an inquiry, staff explained the placing of the Armory
site on the Surplus Property List of the State Government at the end
of this year,.. at which time, pursuant to State Law, it must be used
for mun i c i pa 1 purposes. If it does become surplus property. it wi 11
not become an actuality before 1989.
Referred to the memorandum on mobile homes being placed on the U. S,
Forestry property on north Santa Anita Avenue. Staff explained the
move -- the older buildings will be demolished and the temporary
structures will then go in ... which purportedly will be similar to that
of the former American Savings and Loan modular building.
Spoke to the report on the cost estimation of the Bonita Park School
conversion and told of his walk-through with the Director of Recreation.
He felt the facility is not in good shape and if Council is thinking
seriously of this he would like to have other alternatives with which to
compare .,. he would also like the information submitted to the Senior
Citizens' Commission to ascertain whether or not'it"would be appropriate
for their needs. He would like estimations on the cost of constructing
such a facility on City Hall property or on County Park property utiliz-
ing Grant Fund monies, etc.
Discussion ensued on other possibilities and the need for additional in-
formation on all aspects of providing a facility for the Senior Citizens.
It was felt that further consideration should be with the full Council.
Councilmember Hannah said, in part, that his number one priority would be
the police facility... he would not be willing to spend $600;000 on some
other building before that is done. Councilmember Lojeski agreed that
the police facility is number one priority.
It was the consensus that Council decide on what items it would like to
include in a Senior Citizens' building and staff will provide the material
for this purpose. Staff will impart this information to Messrs. Gilb
and Pellegrino and this matter will be discussed at a future time when
all are present. With this data, the architects will know what to in-
clude in the preliminary plan and preliminary estimate.
Would like -- when all members of the Council are present -- to discuss
an Architectural Review Board for the entire City... also the City
Attorney's memo on recreational vehicles.
Advised of the receipt of a letter from School Board member, Carol
Papay addressed to Mayor Pellegrino expressing appreciation for the
commendation received at the meeting of June 4, 1985.
Council then entered a CLOSED SESSION on litigation and labor negotia-
tions.
COUNCIL RECONVENED at 9:20 p. m. and ADJOURNED IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER
to 7:00 p. m., July 2, 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.
