AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION,
David Viboolkii, 130 E. Sycamore Avenue. Arcadia, requested dismissal of the pending law
suit and court case with regard 10 code enforcement proceedings. He is unhappy with the
way the code enforcement officer and a building inspector handled his case regarding his
front yard fence and unpaid electrical fees,
City Attorney Deitsch noted that the City Council cannot take action on this matter and it is up
to the judge at this point to help resolve this case.
Athena Gioia, 21 East Newman Avenue, Arcadia, expressed her concerns with regard to
traffic danger at the intersection of Santa Anita and Newman Avenue, She urged Council to
direct staff to take a more aggressive approach in solving the traffic problems at this
intersection, In her opinion, one of the options in solving these problems would be installation
of a traffic signal.
Mrs, Gioia referred to a soundwall project along the north side of the 210 freeway from Fifth
Avenue to Second Avenue, which was approved by the City Council, stating, she and several
of her neighbors would like to have a soundwall on the east bound side of the 210 freeway,
from Santa Anita to First Avenue, because that residential neighborhood suffers from the
same traffic volume and noise problems that has been experienced in the approved area.
By consensus, Council directed staff to study the traffic situation at Santa Anita and Newman
Avenue,
With respect to soundwall issues, staff stated, in part, that the soundwall from Fifth Avenue to
Second Avenue is on the Caltrans list and it will probably be constructed within the next three
years, The City Council has appropriated funds to make a match, Beyond that there is no
other funding allocated for soundwalls in Arcadia. Mayor Kovacic asked staff to provide Ms.
Gioia with copies of staff reports and letters concerning soundwalls,
Jean Fohrer, 400 North Old Ranch Road, President, Hugo Reid Elementary School PTA,
commented on the achievements and programs which have taken place at Hugo Reid
Elementary School in her "What's Right With Arcadia Kids" presentation, Ms, Fohrer noted
that community support is the hallmark of Hugo Reid Elementary School, and the Arcadia
schools overall.
Lewis Pollard, 405 South Baldwin Avenue, requested ciarification of the zoning on the
Westfield Shopping Center. Mr, Pollard questioned the proposed ordinance with regard to
the location of the two 10,000 sq, ft, pads for two restaurants in the Westfield Shoppingtown
project. The Mayor noted he also has questions on this subject.
City Attorney Deitsch, stated that it would be appropriate for Councilmembers and staff to
discuss this matter later this evening when the Agenda Item is brought forward for
discussion, By consensus, Council agreed to permit Westfield staff to address this item at
that time also,

the Parks and Recreation Director, commending the Youth Center Summer Program,
Councilmember Chandler noted that once a month he attends the Los Angeles County
Sanitation District meetings as the City's representative. At the August meeting he was
informed of the Sanitation District's lawsuit' 'against the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), In addition, the Cities of Los Angeles, Burbank and Simi Valley have joined in filling a
lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency, specifically because the EPA has
introduced onerous requirements for any water that is treated and released into either the Los
Angeles River, Simi River or the San Gabriel River, The Sanitation District believes these
requirements are unreasonable., The cost of the program would be approximately $2.1
billion, which would significantly raise Sanitation District costs,
City Clerk, June Alford announced, the last day of registration for the November 7, 2000
General Election is October 10, 2000. Registration cards are available at the City Clerk's
Office, the Library and the Post Office.

'"
Councilmember Chandler put forth a MOTION, which was seconded by Council member
Chang, to INTRODUCE ORDINANCE NO. 2136.
Mayor Kovacic expressed concern with regard to the City Councilor the Planning
Commission having any discretion concerning the location of particular buildings, if so, he
would like to insert the word location in front of the word design in Section 2, Subsection 3 of
7
9/19/00
42:0213
Ordinance No, 2136, to read as follows: "that will allow the City an opportunity to better
assess the location, design and potential impacts of the proposed buildings on properties to I
the south and west of the project site".
In response to Mayor Kovacic's question City Attorney Deitsch, stated, in part, that the only
discretion the Council would be able to exercise later on regarding the location of buildings
within the approved envelopes, would be based upon findings which the City Council and
Planning Commission would later have to make for site plan approval,
Following a brief discussion, the City Attorney noted that the next item for Council
consideration is Resolution No. 6199, which contains more specific provisions, standards and
guidelines for the development of the envelopes. It is in that resolution where the Council
. may focus on making changes regarding where the buildings could be located, especially
within building areas A and B,
David Doll, Executive Vice-President of Development, Westfield Shoppingtown, noted that
Westfield relocated buildings A and B at the request of the residents and the Council. In his
opinion if there is already the right in the Council's authority, he was not sure that the addition
of the word "location', will not create an additional obligation on this property. He does not
believe the word "location" is necessary in this case, and requested that the building
envelopes and the conditions previously agreed to, prevail.
Considerable discussion ensued. Some Councilmembers felt that adding the word "location'
to the ordinance is necessary for future expansions; others felt that by adopting the concept of
the envelopes, A, Band C, with the modification of merging A with B as indicated in Exhibit A,
set forth in the September 19, 2000 staff report, the location is obvious and there is no need
to change any wording in the ordinance text.
Mr. Doll suggested, if the Council decided to insert the word "location' in the ordinance, the I
wording "with findings' be added also,
City Attorney Deitsch presented the amendment to Section 2, Subsection 3, of Ordinance No,
2136, to read as follows: "That the Planning Commission and City Council will have the
opportunity to review and approve the specific site plan for the mall expansion during
separate public hearing processes that will allow the City an opportunity to better assess the
location, design and potential impact of the proposed buildings on properties to the south and
west of the project site, subiect to reauired and appropriate findinas'.
Councilmember Chandler MODIFIED his earlier MOTION to INTRODUCE ORDINANCE NO,
2136 as amended to include the words, location, and. subject to required and appropriate
findings, seconded by Mayor Pro tern Segal and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows,

area".
J
,
In response to Council's question, Mr. Doll stated, in part, that Westfield's intend is to put
restaurants at those locations, However, if a restaurant were to go out of business, then
Westfield would want the flexibility to keep that location active and alive by having an
appropriate use such as a bank branch, etcetera...
! I
Further, in response to Council's request to add the word "speciaity" to food store, to the list
of permitted uses, Mr, Doll noted that above and beyond the City's review process, regional
mall tenants have rights over certain improvements as well, and they have a good handle on
what is compatible with their type of business', He felt that with the changes in the industry,
trying to define today what a specialty store is, would not be a good idea for the future.
It was MOVED by Councilmember Chandler, seconded by Councilmember Chang and

Councilmember Chandler adjourned the meeting in memory of Jewell High. "Jewel High was
a former Arcadia resident as well as being a City employee, She passed away in August, at
the age of seventy-nine. She had moved to Arcadia in the early 50's and resided here until
1991, when her and her husband, after she retired from the City of Arcadia, moved to Oregon
and then followed-up to move on to North Carolina, in 1994, From 1965 to 1982, Jewell
served as the secretary to the Arcadia City Manager and at that time to the City Council as
well. She was active in our community and in her spare time she helped her husband as a
property manager in a local apartment complex here in town, In her later years Jewell
enjoyed traveling, reading and being close to her friends and family, After she left, she
continued to maintain a close friendship with many of the locals including two of her favorite
people, one being former Mayor, Floretta Lauber and the other being former Mayor, Charles
Gilb. And, with that, we would like to say that Jewell is survived by her husband Walter, her
three children and her three grandchildren, She will be missed by her family and she will be
missed by those who remember her and we do thank her for her service to the citizens of
