Golden West) (OENIED) .~o~ ? 26 :0173 Appeal of the Planning Commission's approval 'of Modification Application M-86-70 for a proposed 4-unit apartment building at 819 S. Golden West Avenue (Steven and Carol Chan, applicants). The applicants applied to the Planning Commission for four variances, lt was the consensus of the Commissioners voting in favor of th{s project that the subject property is 'unique because of its location, i, e" it is bounded by three existin~ multiple- family developments; also the proposal is a typical design for a 50'0" wide lot, and that other proposals such as this have been approved by the Planning Commission, The dissenting Commissioner felt that granting the requested modifications would not secu~e an appropriate improvement, Staff submitted the proposal provides a logical development of the_site and that the aforementioned modifications, which are mainly attributed to the narrow lot width, are reasonable requests. I Mayor Young declared the hearing open, , Ernest J, Bentz, 825 Golden West Avenue, stated, in part, that his - , appeal was based on the large number of variances granted by the Planning Commission as, in his opinion, it was serious over- development of the small lot, He noted that during ,the Commissioner's discussion, it appeared they were having some difficulty approving this for the 50' lot. Mr, 8entz enumerated certain problems he had '" the very narrow driveway; the close proximity of the building to his condominium ,., no planting area between the proposed apartment drive- way and the property line", trees would have to be removed, Also expressed concern about the fire hazard and also for the property value stability, Mr. 8entz said when he purchased his condominium he felt they would be protected by City Codes, He said further that he or his neighbors in the condominium were not attempting to stop afl progress '" just felt that the four major variances were un- reasonable and suggested that Council return this application to the Planning Commission for further review, At this point in the proceedings, Councilmember Harbicht commented" in part, that almost any development on the subject site would need to be granted certain variances, some of which he felt were small ones such as 19' vs 20' for the garages. Robert Mccallum. 825 Go~den West Avenue, Treasurer of the Golden Crest Homeowners I Association, stated, in part, that the residents of the condominium were stunned that the Commission had approved the large development on a 50' wide lot, The granting of so many variances caused one to lose confidence in City Codes He said the variances granted made a total of 16' of the total 50' width or 32%, Asked that the 'project not be approved due to the variances, and 'beretulrned: to the Commission, I Phyllis McCallum, 825 Golden West Avenue, said she did not think such a large apartment building should be constructed on the subject lot... the front yards will be all cement,.. there"will be exhaust fumes from the vehicles going in and out Of the driveway, She felt the City Codes should be upheld and asked Council to give serious consideration to their appeal. Ed Potter, Architect, speaking for the applicants, Mr. & Mrs. Chan, stated, in part, that they believe this development is a reason- able one for the property and with the variances granted, the final project will be appropriate, No one else desiring to be heard, the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilmember Gilb, seconded by Councilmember Harbicht and CARRIED, 7/15/86 -2- I I .~ J ',_ lb, PUBLIC HEARING (Best Disposal ~~ Increase) (APPROVEO~ v (,' \ \' . 26:0174 Councilmernber Chandler said that he was in attandance at the Planning Commission hearing when these variances were granted and that even if'the development were reduced to three units, some of these problems would still exist. Four units instead of three is not significant, It is a unique situation in that he would not know what else could be done with such a piece of proprty as far as design, Did not believe the 32% variance would have so much impact on individuals close by, Does not believe it will create a fire hazard and actually probably will increase value of the property, He felt this is a proper use and he would be in favor of upholding Planning Commission decision, Councilmember Harbicht stated, in part, that this is a difficult piece of property and noted that there are planting areas -- 5' on one side and 11 I on the ather Also noted that the driveway will be below grade and a 10' masonary wall will be constructed beside the driveway, so planting would not have much effect, He commented that as far as condo vs, apartments -- the zoning does not distinguish -- both multiple-family, Did not feel that these were drastic variances --'that it was not unusual to grant variances -- as a matter of fact, the building at 825 Golden West had been granted seven variances. He felt that this was probably the best development for the property and he would agree with the Planning Commission's findings, Councilmember Lojeski stated, in part, that he had no problem with the development -- that this was a difficult piece of property in that it was land locked --there are non-conforming dwellings on the property at the present time and agreed that it was a logical develop- ment, Councilmember Gilb stated that he had nothing to add and agreed with the other Councilmembers in their observations, He would uphold the P~anning Commission decision. Mayor Young stated, in part, that she had spent about an hour looking at the property and tried to think what other development would perhaps be appropriate, Could not think of one, She felt the proposed 10' wall would protect the current building, She agreed that the 50' wide lot is difficult to develop, but Council just tries to do the best it can, She said she is known for not granting' variances, but granting the subject variances is the only way to obtain a satisfactory development, It was then MOVED by Councilmember Chandler, seconded by Councilmember Harbicht and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that Council deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission 's action on M-86-70; find that approval of M-86-70 would secure an appropriate improve- ment, or prevent an unreasonable hardship, or promote uniformity of development. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmembers Chandler, Gilb, Harbicht, Lojeski and Young None None The City has received a residential refuse collection,rate increase request from Best 'Disposal, The request is made pursuant to Section F - Collection Rates and Billings of the City's Residential Refuse Agree- ment, which permits Best Disposal to request rate increases at any time during the life of the Agreement, The staff report set forth in part that Best has experienced a 40% increase in operating expenses since 1983. The result of the expense and revenue situation is that Best Disposal's operating expenses have exceeded operating revenue in both 1984 and 1985, Best is also projected to experience sub- stantial losses in 1986. The major area of loss will occur in their 7/15/86 -3- ( \ " 26:0175 curbside can service which will show a loss of 45% in 1986, This loss will be somewhat offset by a 36.1% profit in bin service, Overall, Best is projecting a loss of 16.8% in 1986, The options available are (1) to improve billing and collections efficiency so that they are billing a~d receiving payment from all residents receiving their service; (2) to require all City residents to pay for and utilize the refuse services of Best Disposal; (3) to increase the residential refuse collection rates. A 3% rate of $6,71, which represents a 32% incre~se over the existing rate for single family service, is thought to be equitable by staff, Best also propcses that customers call in advance to make reservations for pick-up of large items which cannot be picked up by the regular curbside pickup, - Mayor Young declared the hearing open, Robert L~ Cheney, President & General Manager, Best Oisposal Company, 901 S, Primrose Avenue, Monrovia & 412 Cabrillo Road, Arcadia(Res,) stated, in part, that Best's operating expenses have increased dramatically " since 1983 and enumerated some of the major expense increases, i, e" 338% increase in Workman's Compensation insurance; 90% increase in dumping fees; 240% increase in vehicle liability insurance; obliga- tion to start monitorins underground holding tanks; etc, and Mr, Cheney felt that the rate increasE requested is reasonable and is warranted by a review of their financial and business situations by Stone Consultants, They are not certain as yet what the new laws regarding the monitoring of their underground tanks will result in as far as costs to the Company, Councilmember Gilb stated, in part, that he had been on the Oouncil in 1974 when they awarded the contract to Best and that at that time before the Best contract they had a problem with trash pick-up and really needed to just get the trash off the streets, Best came in and did an excellent job -- the trash was cleaned up in a matter of a couple of days and they have done an excellent job ever since, He stated that the la~t increase had been given Best because of the sudden and unexpected rise in fuel costs -- now fuel costs are down but probably only temporarily, Councilmember Lojeski stated that the curbside service cost had increased 45% while the bin service had increased 107% and suggested that perha~s the bin service was carrying the burden. Mr.Cheney said that in 1984 bin service was $33,08 while in 1986 it was $36,47 -- an increase' of 10,2%; that the raises gave a reasonable profit to the company and were not raised disproportionally, In answer to another question by Councilmember Gilb, Mr, Cheney stated that there was no limit on curbside service and this was sometimes difficult to explain to the drivers from an operational standpoint, since some residences put out considerably more trash than oth~rs -- but everything is picked up, At the suggestion of the Stone Consultants, Best is now doing a survey of customers in an effort to ascertain that all customers using the service can be billed for the service. The survey is not complete as yet. Councilmember Chandler expressed concern about the reservation requests for larger items. Mr. Cheney said that this was necessary because large items such as refrigerators, hot water tanks, furniture, etc, could not be put; in the trucks which lifted the cans and bins because they broke through the hamper pickup. To pick up such large and heavy items, it w~s necessary to send a flat bed truck and it was less expensive tp send the truck around just on certain days for these exceptional itel\'~S' There is no extra charge to the customers 7/15/86 \ -4- '\ ::':'1Il @:":i I"~':~: ilI't,.'J. .~~\~ 1"'.~ ~~r.'

Councilmember Gilb then MOVED to direct staff to prepare a resolution establishing the new residential refuse collection rates; that an ordinance be prepared requiring all residents to pay for residential refuse collection service consistent with all legal requirements; that a service collection change be authorized requiring all residents of the City to call in advance to schedule the pick-up of large items on the condition that such items be picked up no later than eight days after receipt of the reservation call, MOTION seconded by Mayor Young. Staff said it could not see an advantage to the City to extend the contract at this time ,.. there may be further development out of the control of Best, both in terms of dump fees and other costs, where they may have to come back to Council before the end of the current contract. In response to an inquiry by Councilmember Lojeski, staff said, in part, that staff had reviewed the financial statements, but they had not been audited; that the Stone report had been paid for by Best and that the rate increases requested by Best of other cities were not known at this time, Council member Gi 1b stated, in part, that, yes, it would be nice to say they have saved the residents some 44t a month, but if that wi)) ~ot get the job done, it's a difference between a problem and a marginal operation for the carrier. Best has certainly been above average in service and Council has nothing to compare them with; they are the only ones hauling the trash in the City, Councilmember Harbicht proposed that it has to be recognized that trash collection is an important function which must be provided and quality service is desired He felt that Best does do an excellent job and that he believes the Company does have financial problems ,., they are not making a profit. ,. having realized substantial losses at the current rate... it would not be in the best interest of the residents to let Best go out of business. He felt that their problems really have resulted from two things: (1) perhaps they did a poor job of bidding two years ago, and (2) they have had some unforeseen cost increases; however he did not feel it incumbent on Council to select someone based on the competitive bidding situation'and then give an increase. He explained in detail how his calculations indicated a rate increase to $6,84 and noted that if one of the conditions were approved -- that of all residents having to subscribe to the service that would in itself add to Best's income, He felt this a fair rate for the City and for the residents and made recommendation for a $6.84 rat, Mayor Young was advised or the rate charged to customers and to haulers (set forth in the staff report under Residential Single Fimily Can Service Rate Survey of July 1986).

'Current and proposed tax 1 egi slat i on permits the issuance of tax-exempt Bonds or Notes for'essentia1' function governmental purposes, e, g" construction of a municipal pub1 ic works yard,., and the fact that ~ince the 'yard construction contract has been bid and <warded (July 1) and construction is to begin soon, Bonds or Notes should be issued as so~n as possible if the Agency so determines, It was submitted by staff that the issuance of the Agency Notes would be a relatively inexpen~.ive way to provide funds for the City Yard construction and the sewer, water anc' equipment rep1acemert reserve funds could be retained to meet Emergency City and/or Agency needs the risk to the City and Agency of future cash flow would be significantly reduced, Considerable discussion ensued and it was the co~sensus of the Agency that three-year Notes would be safer rathr than two-year Notes and it was submitted by staff that the amount ($3,385,00D for three- year Notes) would be sufficient to cover current construction, During this consideration, both Steve Deitsch and Timothy J, Sabo (Bond Counsel) participated and responded to que~tions, The firm is located at 5855 Topanga Canyon Boulevard, Woodland Hills. Mr. Sabo explained in detail the merits of a three-year Note Issue, It was MOVEO by Mem~er Gi1b, seconded by Member Lojeski and CARRIED o'n roll call vote as follows that the Agency direct staff and cons~ltants to prepare the necessary documentation and publish the necessary notices for the possible issuance of $3,385,000 in tax- exempt Redevelopment Agency three-year Note~; that the Agency authorize the Executive Director to execute contract documents, subject to approval as to form by Agency General Counsel with a) Miller and Schroeder Financial, for financial advisor services, not to exceed $16,850, and with b) Sabo and Deitsch for bond counsel services, not to exceed $13,600, AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Members Chandler, Gi1b, Harbicht, Lojeski and Young None None Staff advised that George Dunaians has proposed to rehabilitate an existing building at 129 E, Huntington Drive. The purpose of an Agency review is to afford the opportunity to see the preliminary architectural plans of private projects to insure that the projects are not out of character within an area as to be a hindrance to future development, While improvement to the building is neeced, the Agency felt perhaps staff could confer with the architect and applicant to see what could be done to enhance the appearance, Ways to accomplish this were explored and it was the consensus that the matter be held ever until August 5 and thct during the interim, staff meet with the architect to discuss Agency concer"" i , i I i I i I , 1\ -- i 7/15/86 -7- 3f, PROPERl Y P.CQUI SITION (Aug, 5,1986 H EPH I NGS) RESOLUTION NO.
