PROPERTY DEVELOP- MENT (Bluth) 25:'1292 CITY COUNCIL RECESSED IN ORDER TO ACT AS THE ARCADIA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY PRESENT: Members Gilb, Hannah, Lojeski, Young and Pellegrino ABSENT: Non e It was MOVED by Member Hannah, seconded by Member Young and CARRIED that the Minutes of the Regular Meeting of July 16, 1985 be APPROVED. Chairman Pellegrino abstained since he was not present at the July 16, 1985 meeting. The Agency received the request and staff report concerning a proposal by Charles Bluth who has purchased the leasehold interest in the Santa Anita Inn from TOWA Corporation (Steve Hayashi, principal). ~APursuant to the Central Redevelopment Plan and ARA Resolution No, 10, ~1-~ the owner of the land and owners of the business have certain participa- 1. '11 tion preferences available to them. It was noted in the staff report ~ I T dated August 6 that Mr. Bluth would like to include the 100 to 1 Club 'R cv area in his development. It would be landscaped or become a fountain A n~rl ~rea with screened parking. Staff felt that a higher and better use N f' ~Y1 of this portion as contemplated by Mr, Bluth would be desirable. salv' CD 1(\1" S.~ (1, P T A V A I L A B L E I Charles Bluth, 251 Whispering Pines Summit, addressed Council at length stating, in part, that the subject land is still in the form of a lease- hold ownership and his interest is involved in the structure on site... there will be no lenders as all funds will be from his personal source ... the management of the project will be controlled by him. He expects to spend about 1,24 million dollars in remodeling, refurbishing and re- decorating the exterior as well as the interior of all units, reland- scaping, demolition of portions of the main registration area, restaurant portion and complete redecorating of the main lobby. Mr. Bluth would like to have the project completed by November. Reference was made to the 100 to 1 club located on the corner at 100 W, Huntington Drive, and asked for assistance from the Agency in process- ing the necessary paperwork to acquire the property under the redevelop- ment rules which are available. He would like to relandscape the corner and improve it in order to make it a focal point for the community. He has attempted to negotiate with the landowner and lessee of the bar (100 to 1), but their idea of value, he felt, is totally out of line, thus making it impossible for him to negotiate any further with them, He felt that, since redevelopment was instituted to handle such situation by allowing the Agency to improve its overall looks by the redevelopment of blighted area, he hoped that the Agency could proceed along this course. The Agency reviewed renderings and photographs of the project with Mr. Bluth explaining that the building would carry a New Orleans theme ... brick and glass with green awnings. All accommodations would be suites. It would be called the Inn at Santa Anita. Eugene Palozzi, 9146 E. Huntington Drive, San Gabriel, owner of the 100 to Club land, stated, in part, that he has had conversations with Mr. Bluth on price but as not received anything in writing. Doris Ferguson, 1161 W. Duarte Road, #16, Arcadia, also said she has not naa-anything in writing. Mrs. Ferguson is the owner-operator of the business for which she said she is asking $100,000 firm. Her lease has four years to run. Jim Moyer 1150 Arcadia Avenue, realtor for Mrs. Ferguson, said the business has not been appraised, but he spoke in terms between $lOOM & $175M, They would welcome an offer and will obtain an appraisal. -3- 8-6-85 4d. DEVELOP- MENT - SOUTH SIDE HUNT! NGTON DR. (E. of Second) August 8,1985 5 :30 p.m. i-?J J.Q4 fj 4e. ADJOURNMENT 5. 6. 25: 1293 Mr. Bluth responded, in part, that he has heard many figures rumored, but has not actually discussed this with the parties involved other than telephone calls ... he made one visit to the 100 to 1 Club. He realizes the sensitivity of the situation and said he has been extremely careful in his terminology in his discussions and had said the price was not feasible for him and that he would go to the Redevelopment Agency to see if it could assist him. Member Gi1b suggested that Mr. Bluth make his offers in writing and it was then MOVED by Member Gi1b, seconded by Member Young and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that the required two appraisals for the land and improvements (furniture/fixtures/equipment) be obtained as well as a Title Report at a cost not to exceed $10,000 (paid for by Mr. Bluth). AYES: NOES: ABSENT: I Members Gi1b, Hannah, Lojeski, Young and Pellegrino None None Pursuant to Agency direction, staff had requested proposals fo~ the development of the South side of Huntington Drive from four developers who had evinced interest last November. Two of the previous proposers declined to submit and two proposals were submitted by Larmor Develop- ment/Merrill Lynch and Stan Gribble and Associates were set forth in detail in the staff report, It was noted that either development would significantly increase both Agency and City revenue. Inasmuch as the proposals would entail the relocation of the City Yard, the cost of acquiring other land and relocating the yard facilities will be significant offsetting costs depending on the proposal and relocation site chosen. It was the consensus of Council that both proposals are for major develop- ments and that they require more consideration than could be given at this meeting and a study session was scheduled for 5:30 p. m. Thursday of this week, August 8, 1985. The meeting adjourned to a study session 5:30 p, m., Thursday, Aug. 8, 1985. COUNCIL RECONVENED \ AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION ~ Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon'Avenue, said that at times he has felt that there is a lack of communication from the Council to the public and gave an example where Counci1member Lojeski said it might be well to have an architectural review board through a Homeowners' Association for the area of the City where one does not exist. Reason for this was not given at the time. Counci1member Lojeski responded, in part, that, as far as he was concerned, it had come about because he had received many ~nquiries from residents as to what could be done when a house was built I which residents of the specific area did not feel was compatible with the neighborhood. He said nothing could be done if the structure met the code and the residents had asked, "why not?". Counci1member Lojeski suggested that perhaps a Homeowners' Association would help.' The result was that the City Attorney was asked to respond on what the options were. No action has been taken. V John Brickett, 139 E. St, Joseph St., explained that he had received a ticket for parking on the street during the day and was advised that there is a regulation against this. He had purchased a parking permit for parking during the night; but he would like to be able to park his second car on the street during the days. Council expressed empathy for his situation, but explained there is a rule against parking on the street during the day and suggested he endeavor to locate parking accommodations in his immediate area, However, it was MOVED by Counci1member Hannah, seconded by Counci1member Gi1b and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that the amount of the ticket ($13) be refunded to Mr. Bri ckett.

Las Flores, President of the Arcadia PTA for two years, made an oral presentation concerning reasons for the formation of the Arcadia City Wide Coalition for Alcohol and Drug Awareness and the various projects on which they will be working through the year into 1986. They have made application through the National PTA for a grant of $500 for programs for drug and alcohol awareness prevention. v!'Marilyn Bryant, 1405 S. Fifth Avenue, President of Parent Alert, also refecred to a packet of information which was handed to the City Council . ., in the fonn of 'a qui z .., one of the tools of a survey ... they will be presenting programs to Service Clubs and working with the parents ... also a school survey is to be conducted. Mrs, 8ryant invited the Mayor to address the young people at a seminar to be held September 3 at 8:30 a.m. Mayor Pellegrino said he would be most pleased to attend and that he shares the enthusiasm being experienced in the program and commended both Mrs. McEntee and Mrs. Bryant on the progress being made. MOON PALA'tE /' Arthur Palfrey, 15 Alta Street, lodged complaints of the Moon Palace, REPORT DUE IN 16 E, Huntington Drive, due to noise emanating from the dance portion TWO WEEKS of the restaurant and cocktail lounge .,. there is a live band and persons congregate in the alley in the rear of the restaurant after the place closes, He asked for some help in this regard. During this considera- tion, Jim Goodwin, 700 S. Fifth Avenue, Monrovia, who is working with the owner-operator of the restaurant, said he felt the noise has subsided. It was the consensus of the Council that the situation be monitored and a report be submitted to Council in two weeks. ALCOHOL AND DRUG AWARENESS 1 8b.

Discussion ensued on the many ramifications of the application and it was MOVED by Councilmember Hannah, seconded by Councilmember Young that the application be DENIED, It was noted that the County Park is not a logical place for this type of activity; the fact that the insurance has not been presented although it was to have been available at this time; the information which had been requested from the Pasadena City College concerning a Festival Mr, Goodwin organized when Councilmember Hannah was on the Board of Trustees had not been obtained and submitted. Mr. Goodwin said he would like to withdraw his application and resubmit when he has all the information and data the Council has requested. Roll call vote was then taken on the MOTION to DENY.
