RE: RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NO. 5831-
AUTHORIZING THE USED OIL GRANT PROGRAM APPLICATION
Summary
In January 1994, the City received a grant to implement a used oil recycling program. The
attached application is a request for grant funds in the amount of$14,176.84 to pay for the cost
of recycling containers and public education materials for this program. It is recommended that
the City Council adopt Resolution No. 5831 approving the filing of the grant application for the
California Used Oil Recycling Program.
Background
The California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act of 1991 mandated that the Integrated Waste
Management Board provide annual block grants to local governments for used oil collection
programs. The City of Arcadia was awarded this grant in January in the amount of $10,641.
Through this grant, the City the City purchased 3,000 used oil recycling containers to distribute
to Arcadia residents free of charge. To date, 2,393 containers have been distributed to Arcadia
residents.
This grant application(attached) requests grant funds for FY 1995-96 to purchase 1,500 additional
six-quart oil recycling containers for this recycling program. Chief Auto Parts would remain the
City's used oil recycling collection center and distribute these containers to residents free of
charge. Residents would obtain a recycling container from Chief Auto Parts to dispose of their
used oil. Once a resident accumulated used motor oil, they would return the container to Chief
Auto Parts for the recycling and proper disposal of that oil.
This Used Oil Recycling Program enhances the City's existing program by purchasing additional
recycling containers and developing public education materials to promote this program. Grant
funds would pay for the cost of the recycling containers, public education materials and staff time
to develop and monitor this program.

If this grant is approved, the City would utilize grant funds to develop a "Household Hazardous
Waste" handbook that describes various types of hazardous materials and how residents can safely
dispose of them. Staff contacted three (3) potential providers for the handbook, which included
design, typesetting and printing services. In order to maintain consistency in the City's recycling
program ad campaign and.to save money utilizing the existing recycling logo, staff recommends
that The Pick Up Artists be selected to design and print the Household Hazardous Waste
Handbook at a cost of$9,000. All costs for design, typesetting and printing would be paid for
through this grant.
This grant application requires that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the filing
of the application and authorizing the City Manager to execute any agreement, contracts and
requests for payment regarding this grant.
Fiscal Impact
If this grant is approved, there would not be any City funds utilized to implement this program.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopted Resolution No. 5831 approving the filing of the
application for the California Used Oil Recycling Block Grant Program and appointing the City
Manager as the agent of the City Council to execute any agreement, contract, or requests for
payment regarding this grant consistent with the above.

CITY OF ARCADIA
LOCAL USED OIL COLLECTION PROGRAM
GRANT PROPOSAL
A. BACKGROUND
The City of Arcadia is located in the foothills of the San Gabriel Valley. Arcadia is made
up of an 11.17 square mile area with a population of 48,290 (population based upon the
1990 census).
In 1990, a solid waste generation analysis was conducted to characterize the amount of
solid waste disposed of from the City of Arcadia. The survey showed that the City
generates 272 tons of household hazardous waste annually.
The City of Arcadia participates in Household Hazardous Waste Roundups sponsored by
the Los Angeles County Department of Sanitation. The Household Hazardous Waste
Roundups allow residents to safely dispose of 50 pounds or 5 gallons of household
hazardous waste per vehicle per roundup. The Los Angeles County Department of
Sanitation is then responsible for the safe disposal of the hazardous materials. In FY
1993-94, Arcadia residents disposed of 3 tons of motor oil through the Los Angeles
County Household Hazardous Waste Roundups.
Last year, the City received a used oil recycling grant to purchase 3,000 used oil recycling
containers. These containers were distributed to residents at the City's used oil recycling
collection center, Chief Auto Parts (1451 S. Baldwin). Through this program, it is
estimated that Arcadia residents will recycle 7.2 tons of used motor oil in 1994.
In addition to the Household Hazardous Waste Roundups, the used oil recycling program
through Chief Auto Parts has provided Arcadia residents with a safe and convenient means
of disposing of their used oil. However, the City needs to continue to promote the safe
disposal of used oil by offering free recycling containers to residents and promoting this
program through numerous forms of public education. It is programs like these that keep
used motor oil out of the storm drains and puts it them into recycling containers.
B. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
It is the City of Arcadia's goal to continue to operate the same type of used oil recycling
program that was implemented this year. However, the City intends to get more residents
to participate in this program by purchasing more recycling containers and implementing
an extensive public education program.
3
This used oil recycling program is intended to educate the City's 48,290 residents on
proper oil disposal and the importance of recycling. This collection program would
continue to be a public/private venture between the City of Arcadia and Chief Auto Parts.
Residents would be able to pick up a free oil-recycling container from Chief Auto Parts
(located in Arcadia) to dispose of their used oil. If this grant is approved, the City would
purchase 1,500 do-it-yourself(6 quart) oil recycling containers from Chief Auto Parts at
a cost of$3.10 per container. The resident would bring the container back to Chief Auto
Parts, who will properly dispose of the used oil. Residents would be able to keep their
container and use it again. Thus, no hazardous containers need to be disposed.
Chief Auto Parts has a contract with an oil recycler/hauler (Valvoline) to dispose of the
used oil. They would continue to maintain the contract with the oil recycler/hauler to
insure the proper disposal of the City's used oil.
The City of Arcadia would be responsible for making the public aware of the state/federal
laws concerning the proper disposal of used oil. In addition, the City would encourage
residents to participate in this program through an extensive public education program.
The funds provided by this grant would be used to purchase the containers and to pay for
the public information campaign.
Chief Auto Parts of Arcadia (1451 S. Baldwin Avenue) would be the collection site for the
City of Arcadia's used oil collection program. Chief Auto Parts is open Monday through
Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Through this used oil recycling program with Chief Auto Parts, store personnel would be
responsible for collecting the used oil brought in by Arcadia residents. They would put
the used oil into the collection containers (double walled 185 gallon container). Valvoline,
the oil/recycler, would properly dispose of the used oil. (Chief Auto Parts federal EPA
number is CAL 000120195).
The City would promote this program through various forms of public education. Listed
below are the types of public education the City will utilize:
1. Handbook
In order to promote the City's numerous recycling programs, a recycling
handbook was developed that describes the recycling programs and details
about how to dispose of various types of materials, including used oil. If
this grant is approved, the City would promote this used oil recycling
program by developing a handbook specifically for hazardous materials.
This handbook would describe the dangers of hazardous materials and how
residents could safely dispose of them through the City's recycling
programs. This handbook would be distributed to the community at
various City events and at various public counters.
4
2. Community Bulletin Board
The City's "Community Bulletin Board" is a screen that displays city
information on the cable television station 24 hours a day to Arcadia
residents. This bulletin board is managed through the City Manager's
Office. The "Community Bulletin Board" has proven to be an effective
means of communicating information to the community.
The "Community Bulletin Board" would be utilized to provide residents
with detailed information on how they could recycle used oil.
3. Newsletter Article
One (1) newsletter article would be published in the City's quarterly
newsletter regarding the City's used oil recycling program. This article
would describe the used oil recycling program and promote the proper
disposal of used oil.
4. Press Release
One (1) press release would be submitted to the local newspapers for
publication during 1994 describing this used oil recycling program. This
newspaper article would describe the City of Arcadia's Used Oil Recycling
Program and the proper disposal of used oil.
5. Water Bill Insert
Once during the year, a line would be inserted on the water bills informing
residents of the City's used oil recycling program and providing them with
a contact person for more information.
C. FUNDING SOURCES
There is not any local funding committed to this program..

Following the death of Anita Baldwin in 1939 the estate was sold and in 1941 the
Flintridge girls boarding school moved to the Anoakia property.
Since 1941, the house has been used as a boarding school and office and the accessory
structures have been used for a day school and pre-school. During the 1987 Whittier
earthquake, several of the accessory buildings incurred major structural damage.
The buildings were vacated as a result of the damage and the school moved into
temporary structures on the property until 1990 at which time the school moved to
a new location. Since that time the property has been vacant with the exception of
the house which is used as offices by the property owner, Mr. McCaslin.
An EIR prepared for a proposed project on the property notes that "in total the Anita
Baldwin mansion compound with its striking architectural design, its artistically
conceived interior and its exotic grounds, represents a cultural resource of great
value and significance."
Zoning History
The Anoakia property was annexed to the City in 1975 with a zoning designation of
R-1 7,500. In 1976 the zoning was changed to R-O 30,000, consistent with the General
Plan designation of single-family residential 0-2 dwelling units per acre. A design
overlay to include the property in the Rancho Santa Anita Homeowners
Association was approved in 1978. In 1980 the property was rezoned to R-O & D
22,000.
In November, 1975 an application was filed by the current property owner, Lowry
McCaslin, to change the General Plan to single-family residential 0-6 dwelling units
per acre and build 48 single-family homes around the existing mansion which
would be converted into a club house. An Environmental Impact Report was
prepared by Westec Services, Inc. for the proposed project. After meetings with
citizens and a hearing before the Planning Commission, the application was
withdrawn.
Since 1975, Mr. McCaslin has been contacted regarding various ideas for
development of the property, including schools, retreats, high-end senior citizen
housing and conventional subdivisions. Some concepts have incorporated the
existing house in their design, while others have proposed to remove all structures.
According to Dave Pinkerton, general manager of the property, at this time there are
no plans to develop the property.
Staff's Comments
On August 30, Corky Nicholson, Planning Services Manager and I met with Mr.
Pinkerton, General Manager of the Anoakia Property and Harold Hedlund, Mr.
McCaslin''s, kengineer, and conducted a walk-through of the house, accessory

buildings and the property. The site was in the process of being cleaned up and my
the house is being used.
The property is unique because of the age of the dwelling and its previous
ownership. There are many items and features inside the house which have artistic
and design value including the Maynard Dixon murals, the Tiffany fixtures, the
staircase with the Indian motif, the etched glass entry and the "Lucky Baldwin" wine
kegs in the basement. All of these could be removed from the dwelling and
preserved in a different location such as a museum.
As noted previously, several of the accessory buildings appear to have major
structural damage. Because the buildings are not in use, an evaluation of the
structural damage has not been required by the City. According to Mr. Pinkerton it
would be very expensive to retrofit the buildings and restore them to their original
design.
The EIR prepared in 1975 suggested that "specific studies could be conducted or the
architectural value of the various structures, on a complete explanation and
interpretation of the Maynard Dixon works, on the life and times of Elias and Anita
Baldwin and on the history of the house as it passed through time." The value of
such a study is that it "would provide a correct assessment of the numerous
resources present on the property and would ensure that they are recorded for
posterity." It also suggests "registering of the compound with the historical registry
of the State and Federal government."
"The proper recording of the historical resources is crucial to ensure that the value
and knowledge of the house and its art forms can be made available to a wider
audience."
State and National Register
The following is a brief summary of the State Historical Programs and the National
Register of Historic Places. Applications for any of the following programs must be
submitted to the State of California Historical Preservation Office (HPO) for review
and consideration by the State Historical Resourses Commission (SHRC). The
Commission receives and considers all applications for the designation and
registration of any historical building or landmark. The Commission consists of
seven members who are appointed by the Governor.
The State of California has several historic preservation programs: the California
Point of Historical Interest Program, the California Registered Historical Landmark
and the California Register of Historical Resources. The following is a synopsis of
each of these designations:
CC Report - Anoakia
December 6, 1994

•
California Point of Historical Interest
This program recognizes sites and structures of local or county-wide importance.
The effects of this designation are:
• Placement of a small enamel directional sign with no text, which is available
from the local Caltrans•district office.
• There is limited protection through the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) if the property is threatened by a specific project. This would be
determined by the City through the CEQA process.
• The local County assessor may enter into contract with the property owner for
property tax reduction.
• The local building inspector must grant code alternative provided under State
. Historic Building Code.
In this procedure persons obtain applications from the Office of Historic
Preservation (OHP) and must secure the signature of the "chief elected
government official" and forward the application with all necessary
documentation to the OHP. The application is reviewed by OHP staff and placed
on the agenda for consideration by the State Historical Resources Commission
(SHRC) for action.
California Registered Historical Landmark
This program recognizes those sites and structures of state-wide significance.
The effects of this designation are:
• A bronze plaque (which is underwritten by the local sponsor) and is ordered
through the OHP. Also highway directional signs are available through the
local Caltrans office.
• There is limited protection through the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) if the property is threatened by a specific project. This would be
determined by the City through the CEQA process.
• The local County assessor may enter into contract with the property owner for
property tax reduction.
• The local building inspector must grant code alternative provided under State
Historic Building Code.

in the National Register the property owner must consent to such listing. If the
property owner does not grant permission, it will be placed on a list of sites or
structures eligible for the National Register, but not listed and the California
Register will automatically include this property on its list.
The criteria for'd'etermining National Register eligibility cover a "broad spectrum
of factors involving history, significant individuals, architecture, archeology, art,
culture and integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling
and association." It is important to note that having a house or other structure
listed on the National Register does not interfere with the property rights of the
owner and does not prevent an owner from tearing a building down.
Applicar• for either the State or National Historic designations are encouraged to
seek adv ice and council from members of the American Institute of Architects
(A.I.A.) concerning applications for registration of architectural examples as
historical landmarks. The A.I.A. offers consulting services through its membership.
The State Historical Resources Commission considers the A.I.A. as the leading
authority concerning background and technical information pertinent to historical
architectural and requires all applicants for architectural landmarks to-seek their
certification prior to submission. A special supplement for historical landmark
applications for architectural examples must accompany the regular application
form and must be certified by the President or Preservation Officer of the local A.I.A.
chapter that the structure does meet the criteria for landmark registration.
Preparing applications for consideration of historical significance "generally requires
professional expertise in history, architectural history or related disciplines."
FINDINGS
According to the National Register Bulletin on "How to apply the National Register
Criteria for Evaluation", the criteria for evaluation of the building or site is that
either or are:
• associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad
patterns of our history; or
• associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or
• embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of
construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic
values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose
components may lack individual distinction; or
• have yielded, or may be likely to yield information important in prehistory or
history. -
CC Report - Anoakia
December 6, 1994
Page 6
The Community Development staff does not have the expertise to properly assess
the historical and architectural significance of the property and the structures biased
upon the above criteria.
If the City Council determines that it would be worthwhile to pursue this matter,
the Council may request that the property owner have specific studies done by an
architectural historian or the American Institute of Architects to determine if the
structures are of architectural or historical significance.
If the buildings or the site are determined to be of historical significance, based upon
the appropriate documentation, any person or agency could pursue filing the
appropriate application with SHRC to request consideration of placing the site o'r the
house on the State and National Register. It is important to note, however, that in
regards to the National Register, "an individual property will not be listed if the
owner objects". However, it will be placed on the eligibility list if it is determined to
be of historic significance.
It is important to consider that because the house is centrally located on the
property, any requirement to preserve the house would make it very difficult for
development of the property with a conventional subdivision.
No matter what action is taken, staff would encourage the City to take steps to
insure that the history of the house is properly recorded (photographs, videotajping,
etc.). If at some point in time, the house is demolished, a commitment should be
made by the property owner to save the murals, Tiffany light fixtures and other
items of historical significance.
FISCAL IMPACT •
If the City Council directes staff to further investigate the possibility of placing the
property on the National Register or the State Historic Register, the fiscal impact to
the City is the direct costs of staff time to investigate the process and file the
necessary applications. In addition there may be some costs (not yet known)
associated with the requirement for A.I.A. certification.
ACTION
The City Council may wish to consider one of the following options:
1. Take no action at this time.
CC Report - Arioakia
December 6, 1994
rage 7
2. Direct staff to contact Mr. McCaslin or his representative and request his
cooperation in pursuing placing the house on the National Register.
3. Wait until such time as an application for a project is filed for the property and
pursue further investigation of the property through the CEQA process.

DESCRIPTION
Mr. Georgino developed the multi-screen theater/restaurant
complex in downtown Burbank (AMC Theatre, Islands Restaurant
and related commercial uses) and has developed other retail,
restaurant and industrial projects in the San Fernando
Valley. His partner, Mr. David Augustine is also an
experienced developer of office and industrial projects in
the San Fernando Valley.
The proposed ERN requires the developer to pay for the
following:
- The preparation of conceptual site plans and building
elevations to scale, a development schedule, and a
financial proforma of the project costs and revenues
- Phase 1 environmental assessment of the site for
hazardous waste (soils, underground tanks, lead paint,
asbestos)
- Preliminary title report on the property
- Environmental Assessment of the project pursuant to CEQA
up to $20, 000; Note: (50/50 shared costs with the Agency
from $20, 001 to $25, 000; negotiated costs above $25, 001)
- Acquisition appraisal of the fair market value of the
existing Foulger property
- Letters of interest from a major theater chain and one
quality dinner-house
- Proof of contact with the land owner
- A $5, 000 non-refundable Administrative Fee paid to the
Agency
The Agency shall utilize its own consultants for preparation
of the referenced environmental assessment and the
appraisal.
2
The Agency would pay for:
- The preparation and transmittal of a letter to the
property owner offering an owner-participation
opportunity
- 50% of the costs for the CEQA environmental assessment
above $20, 001 and below $25, 000; negotiated costs above
$25, 001
- An Agency special legal counsel to prepare a Disposition
and Development Agreement
- A Reuse Appraisal to determine the potential sale price
of the site given the proposed theater/restaurant
development (required by state law)
As stated previously, the ERN requires work to proceed in
two stages:
1) Agency review of the Developer's Preliminary Report
(estimated time- 3 months)
2) Agency preparation and negotiation of a proposed DDA
(estimated time - 3 months)
Total estimated time - 6 months
FISCAL IMPACT
Cost to the Agency is for consultant services.
