Bruce Low. 333 E. Huntington Drive, spoke in more detail about their expansion plans and answered questions from Council regarding the acquisition of the Suzuki dealership. There was some discussion regarding the signage, although this was not precisely addressed at this meeting. Mr. Low stated, in part. that it would pose a difficulty for them to remove the sign in favor of a smaller one. Councilmember Gilb stated that everybody has to adhere to the sign ordinances, but that perhaps, since more large businesses were coming into Arcadia, the ordinances should be revised to allow larger signs. Mr. Low said that his business brought in considerable revenue to the City and that he was merely trying to improve his business; that he did not ask any financial assistance from the R~development Agency. as did some of the incoming businesses.

None " Consideration of a petition for street lights on Walnut Avenue between El Monte Avenue and the east dead end. Notices of this hearing were posted on each property and copies of the notice were mailed to each property owner. The project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. Staff submitted that, two (2) street lights would be necessary to provide the minimum recommended level of lighting on this street. The petition from the eight'benefitting property owners indicate five in favor (62%) and one opposed and two did not respond. The City would pay 75% of the installation cost if the property owners pay the remaining 25% as well as 100% of the future power and mainte- nance cost. Mayor Pellegrino declared the hearing open. , Stuart J. Reeves, 178 Wa1hut, spoke in favor of the insta11ation of the lights. Said the area was a cul-de-sac and very dark. Felt the lights would provide added safety for homes as well as children and traffic in the area. He also stated that because the area is so dark, it provides an area for unknown persons from undetermined areas parking autos at night, throwing beer bottles, etc. into the street. Mr. Reeves noted property values would increase also. , Rubin Ruiz, 171 Walnut, Also spoke in favor of the installation of ~ights ... they are deterent to crime. Mr. Ruiz cited instances of disturbances during the night and early morning hours. Asked for approval. He felt it is a dangerous area without lights. Ethel Self, lB5 Walnut, spoke in favor and thought perhaps one light c'ould suffice about midblock. During the discussion, the Director/Public Works explained that there is an existing light at the northwest intersection of El Monte and Walnut and, in response to questions, said further, in part, that the depart- ment is flexible as to location, but would recommend that it be as close to the intersection as possible. Crai~ Howe, 184 Walnut, said when the petition was originally circulated, it d,d not have space for those opposed ... two are opposed. They have lived in that area for two years and feel the light on the corner is adequate ... that if they do not want it, why do they have to pay for the light ... there has not been an accident or nighttime burglary in ten years ... they do. not need nor want an additional light. If it comes to lights, It it be one ... they do not need two. Claudia Stavert, 164 Walnut, likes the area as it is ... safe for children. But, if it comes to it, she would go for one light, not two. Asked that a light not be placed so close to her property... that it be placed in ,the middle of the block where the residents want a light. 1/21/86 -3- 26:0018 T. M. Self, 185 Walnut, said he thought one light would be sufficient. Mayor Pellegrino asked for a show of hands of those who would go for one light ... five (5) persons responded. Stuart Reeves, 178 Walnut, said the formula set forth in the staff's letter lndlcates it would be 4~ per $100 assessed valuation, i. e., on a $100,000 assessed valuation, the cost would be about $40 per year. No one else desiring to be heard, the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilmember Hannah, seconded by Councilmember Gilb and CARRIED. I Councilmember Lojeski then MOVED that one light be installed on Walnut Avenue between El Monte Avenue and the east dead end, between Lots 6 and 7 on the property line; and that the Superintendent of Streets be AUTHORIZED to proceed with the work in accordance with the provision of Chapter 27 of the Improvement Act of 1911.

This development would consist of two separate 5 unit apartment buildings. Staff report dated January 21, 1986 s~ts forth the fact that the proposed design represents a depaiture from what the Redevelopment Agency typically sees in that it does not employ variation in texture or color as a means of providing visual interest and variety... the design does not adequately incorporate design features and treatments the Agency has approved in the past and is likely to encounter in future design reviews for this 1 area. This project would not be consistent with the Downtown Revitali~a, tion Design Guidelines. Staff recommended denial of this project. During his presentation, Kai Chan explained in detail his plans and noted that the Agency did not have guidelines for him to follow. Projecturals were shown of other apartments he has constructed, one in Arcadia on Duarte Road. He said he would be willing to include awnings and landscaping to the satisfaction of the Agency. He felt the building would enrich the neighborhood as it is all residential. During the ensuing discussion, Councilmember Young submitted, in part, that the area in question is in the redevelopment area and most of the people are elderly and may not want to live in such a building. It seems to her to be a wrong location for this design. It is so stark on the driveway side. As to Guidelines for the area, staff advised that they are being prepared for Council consideration during the month of February. Counc il member Gil b commented , in part ,that he rather 1 i kes the des i gn ... it seems to be of the future and he finds it inter2sting. Also, that Council should not concern itself with whether or not the owner could rent the units. Councilmember Hannah did not find the design offensive. It it were not in the development area there would not be any opposition ... he would be inclin~d to go along with the architecture and if the owner could not rent the apartments, he would have to deal with that. Councilmember Lojeski said, in part, that the design is so different from anything he has seen since conling on the City Council... he had mixed emotions and could not picture the landscaping ... felt that the building could be toned down by attractive landscaping. In response to his question, Mr. Chan said the windows would be transparent and explained the proposed landscaping... trees, etc. However, Council- member Lojeski just felt he could not support the project as far as the environment for, living is concerned. Councilmember Gilb then MOVED to approve the project subject to I conditions set forth in staff report dated January 2". 1986 with the exception that the landscapinq be maintained to thp ,~ti,f~ct;on of the Planning Director.

ADJOURNMENT 7. ~;8. \".1 1 t./6~ f I RESOLUTION NO. 5276 (ADOPTED) URGENCY 26 :0021 The Agency on January 13, 1986 (Study Session) directed staff to prepare a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the development of the Third/Huntington site (pursuant to an attached map to the report). The provisions of the RFP were explored in detail in said report dated January 21, 1986. It was recorrmended by staff that the RFP be mailed to lists in the Agency office, published in the Los Angeles Times Real Estate Section and in the Pasadena Star News on two Sundays (estimated cost $1500.,). During this consideration, the project site map attached to the report was discussed. Councilmember Young felt the map should be more definitive o~ the exact location of the site and not encompass so much territory which was not a part of the RFP, i.e., a plain map with only the subject area outlined... if a developer is interested in a deviation, it can be handled at that time. Councilmember Lojeski felt it more conducive to personally talk with developers rather than newspaper publications and mailings. He also felt the map too confusing and agreed with Co~ncilmember Young. It was MOVED by Councilmember Young, seconded by Councilmember Gilb and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that the recommendation be APPROVED with the exception of the map -- that a plain map be prepared with a line around the subject area.
