Mr. Golisch stated that he had found Mr. Talley to be a fountain of knowledge and ~hen information was requested he had always received an honest answer. Mr. Talley responded to the gift and expressed his appreciation. ZONE VARIANCE 530 W. Las Tunas Drive The Planning Commission held a second public hearing on the appli- cation of Dorothy M. Stevens for an extension of the existing zone variance for a children's day nursery at 530 W. Las Tunas Drive. A former hearing had been held and a decision rendered recommending the variance for a period of five years. The list of property owners within the 300 ft. radius was inaccurate and therefore proper notice was not given. A new mailing list had been obtained and all within the required radius had been mailed a notice by certified mail of the public hearing set for this date. The staff report from the previous meeting was read. no change. There was June 26, 1962 Page One . . One communication had been received from Marcus and La Vone Halwax 524 W. Las Tunas Drive, which is located immediately to the east of the property under consideration. They objected to the extension of the variance as the reasons for the request were not the same as those when the school was first commenced. This was no longer a hardshl.p case, as Mrs. Stevens, who was formerly Mrs. Lo Guidice, had remarried and there had been times when she had not lived 'on the property and the school was operated by someone other than herself. They felt that if the property were sold they would not desire the continuance of the school. The Chairman announced that this was the time and place set for the hearing on said application and requested those in favor to come forward. Mr. A. E. Erickson, 525 W. Las Tunas Dr. stated that he had lived in the area for many years and the occupancy of the building for this pur- pose had not disturbed him nor his family. He was on the north side of Las Tunas Drive. Mrs. Dorothy M. Stevens, 530 W. Las Tunas Drive, stated that she was the applicant and had operated the school since 1950 and that previously to that she had operated in Temple City. She desired to continue the business. The house had been partially converted for this use and she and her husband occupied the balance of the property. She. had a fine business and so far as she knew there had been no complaints. The location was excellent and she felt it was an addition to the community. She operated the school from 7:45 A.M. until 11:45 A.M. daily, except Saturday and Sunday and recognized all holidays observed by the public schools. She was closed during the summer. She requested that a permanent variance be given as it was difficult to process a variance to continue when the period granted expired. No further requests to speak in favor of the application were made. The Chairman requested information as to any registered complaints against the school. None were recorded. The Planning Secretary stated if there were requests given to the City it would have been his duty to check and to his knowledge this had not been requested. Those opposed to the granting of the variance were then heard. Mr. Fred Kennedy, 1104 S. Baldwin Ave., an, attorney representing a number of the property owners within the area, stated he had taken some pictures in the area and presented them to the Commission. He particularly objected to the height of the fence on the east side of the school. This is now four feet. He stated that children would respass on the property of Mr. Halwax, disturbing the white gravel used in the landscaping~ Mrs. Stephens had been requested on numerous occasions to have the parents of-the children prevent this, but it had not been done. Mrs. Stephens had stated she had told the parents and had posted signs. He stated that to the west of the Stephens a public parking lot was established. While this is a commercial use it was much more desirable. At the time the nursery school was established, Mr. Halwax had not objected because of the economic elements existing. This was no longer the situation. He felt that the property was R-l and should remain as such. The homes were nice. While there were other schools in the City they were located in older sections. This property should be maintained as R-l exclusively. Mr. Kennedy presented a signed petition of eighteen persons, represent- ing eleven parcels of property. June 26, 1962 Page Two HEARING CLOSSD . .. . Mr. Marcus Halwax, 524 W. Las Tunas Drive, reviewed the past hearings for the operation of the school. The conditions that existed then have n~w changed and they opposed the continuance. Mr. E. Anthony, 510 W. Las Tunas Drive, stated that he opposed the variance. He had not received a notice of the previous hearing. He was advised of the circumstances under which many people in the area had not received notice, but that a new mailing list had been obtained and all the property owners had been mailed a notice of the second public hearing. The list was certified to by the Post Office and Mr. Anthony's name appeared there. A check was made of the petition presented by Mr. Kennedy as to whether any of the names appearing on his list were on ~he list submitted by Mrs. Stevens as being in favor of the operation of the school. None appeared. There were several property owners within the area who had signed the application as being in favor of the continuance. No one desired to be further heard on this matter. Moved by Commissioner Michler, seconded by Commissioner Ferguson, and unanimously carried that the public hearing be closed. Commissioner Ferguson stated that at the first public hearing there was no objection or opposition,but operating a business in an R-l Zone was not proper. Commissioner Michler stated that in the past five periods had been imposed so that in the event the property were sold or conditions changed the Commission "Duid have an opportunity to review the mat.ter as to the use. He had stated in his opinion a review of the area showed that the entire section had changed and the Commission had committed itself to hold the commercial use to the present lines. The future may change, but as of now the use of this particular property for a day nursery would act as a good buffer between the present commercial to the west and the residential area to the east. He would not be opposed to the use on a five year 'basis. Commissioner Norton stated that he felt conditions should be imposed to prevent any damage or undue disturbance to the property owners to the east. This operation had been in effect for many years and no particular objection had been received. This residential zone had changed toward commercial and if objections had been registered over the past eleven years some record would have been made of it at the Ci.ty Hall. The Chairman stated that changes did occur and opposition was strong enough to warrant a change. He had been opposed to commercial use of R-l property and felt this variance should be denied. If the Commissioners were in favor of granting the application some consideration should be given to the raising of the height of the fence on the east property line to six feet, and that a time limit should be placed. June 26, 1962 Page Three MOTION ZONE VARIANCE 410-418 West Huntington Dr. . ; . Moved by Commissioner Forman, seconded by Commissioner Norton, that the application of Forothy M. Stevens for an extension of the existing zone variance for a children's day .nursery at 530 W. Las Tunas Drive, be recommended for approval; subject to a time limit of five years, and further that the present four ft. concrete block wall located on the east side of the property be increased to the six foot height allowed by the Municipal Code. Said motion was carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners Acker, Forman, Michler and Norton NOES: Commissioners Ferguson and Golisch ABSENT: Commissioner Rutherford. The Planning Commission again considered the application of Robert Stevens for a zone variance and/or special use permit to allow the construction and operation of a convalescent home at 410-418 W. Huntington Drive. The public hearing was held May 22, 1962 and had been closed. The matter had been referred to the zoning committee for further study and the Chairman of the Committee made a personal report inasmuch as it had been impossible for this committee to meet. Some consideration should be given to the consideration of some type of performance bond to guarantee the final completion of the project. Commissioner Norton felt that before any work was commenced on the property that all I'lans, financing, and permits were received before a building permit is issued. The final plans, etc. should be made available to the city and no work permitted to commence until such time as the project is considered workable and feasible. Time factors should be considered and a performance bond or completion bond should be required and this should be based upon a reasonable time after all permits are received. Commissioner Michler stated that with his position on the Hospital Board he should abstain from voting on this matter. Some talk had been made that the local hospital was considering the construction of some type of convalescent quarters. Mr. Robert Stevens stated that he had inquired of his bonding company as to the type of bond mentioned by Commissioner Norton. They had never written such a bond, but if one is required he would obtain it. He would consider a cash bond if necessary. Study had been made and it was evident that such a use as a convalescent hospital would be better than multiple dwelling units. Commissioner Acker was not in favor of an additional convalescent home being constructed within the city. Commissioner Forman stated that the economic factor should be a consideration and Chairman Golisch stated that since the last meeting he had made many inquirles and people as a whole were not opposed to this type of operation. It was preferred to another apartment building. June 26. 1962 Page Four MOTION SECOND ROLL CALL . . . . The Planning Director stated that he had had conferences with the City Attorney since the last meeting relative to the request for some type of performance or completion bond. The City Attorney felt that the last condition in the report would fully protect the City and that if approval given subject to the conditions imposed as outlined in the staff report, it would amply cover this subject. This would be condition No. 8 as follows: '~he variance not to be operative until complete plot plans, building plans and elevations have been submitted to and approved by the Planning Commission, which shall be within one year from the date of tentative approval of the project by the City Council. No work of clearing of the site shall be done until a building permit for the erection of the convalescent home has been issued. Such building permit shall not be issued until the plans have been approved by all the interested State agencies." Mr. Phelps stated that this condition of approval would in effect tr~at the tentative plans for the convalescent home in the same manner as a tentative tract map in a subdivision. A tentative approval is given but the work cannot commence until a final approval is given. This same condition of approval should in the future be imposed on plans for these special kinds of facilities such as churches, schools, etc. Moved by Commissioner Norton, seconded by Commissioner Ferguson that th~ application of Robert Stevens for a zone variance and/or special use permit to allow the construction and operation of a convalescent ho~e at 410-418 West Huntington Drive be recommended for approval subject to the conditions as outlined in the staff report. Roll call vote disclosed the following: AYES: Commissioners Ferguson, Norton and Golisch NOES: Commissioners Acker and Forman ABSTAINED: Commissioner Michler ABSENT: Commissioner Rutherford Inasmuch as this is the last meeting to consider this matter without forwarding it to the City Council without a recommendation the Chairman felt the Commission should send a recommendation and the vote disclosed a majority vote was not obtained. The City Attorney was asked if Conmissioner Michler's abstinence from voting were nec~ssary: ... After consultation with the City Attorney and further remarks made by the Planning Director the Planning Secretary was directed to call the roll on the motion before the Commission: AYES: Ferguson, Michler, Norton and Golisch NOES: Acker and Forman ABSENT: Rutherford. The motion carried. June 26, 1962 Page Five . . TRACT NO. 22335 The Planning Commission considered Tract No. 22335 - tentative map of area located on the east side, of Sbth Ave., 100 ft. south of Beverly Drive, containing 6 lots. This matter was considered at the meeting of June 12, 1962 and did not receive a majority vote. The Planning Secretary reviewed the staff report, and the Commismon discussed some of the questions that had arisen at the former meeting. Vernon Jones, Engineer from Hillcrest Engineering Co. was present and outlined the changes in the map, correcting some of the problems on the former tentative map. In the past the width at the building line had been 75 feet where the lot was located on a cul-de-sac. This had been the general policy. In some of the lots on a cul-de-sac it will be impossible to get 75 ft. .at the building line and still maintain the same number of lots. this will be considered at a later time and is a pertinent matter because most of the subdivisions in the future will be cul-de- sac streets and subdividers will be faced with this problem. The Commission felt that wider building sites should be adhered to. Commissioner Acker was opposed to the present arrangement. One lot should be eliminated. He felt that suh3tandard lots should be denied. All lots have more than the 7500 sq. ft. and under the old policy a better loting arrangement could be made, but it would place the side of the new lot next to the rear of the lot facing the old street creating key lots which is very undesirable. There are many problems in creating cul-de-sac streets and a communication had been forwarded from the Department' to the Subdivision Committee and a study would have to be made and a policy determined. Other tracts have been approved with the lotting arrangement such as this. the maps are now being discussed and studied by the Technical staff and in the future maps can come before the Commission in a manner that from the technical standpoint is feasible, practical and workable. The tract would be better with one less subdivision had just been approved with there would be no grounds to deny this. determined then future subdivisions can manner. The intent of the ordinance is at:e created. lot, but inasmuch as a similar lotting arrangement When a definite policy is be determined in a uniform that suitable building lots The City Attorney stated that standards for the lots had been fixed but that what is being determined is under what specified conditions new subdivislo"s would be approved. The Chairman stated that this matter should be referred to the Subdivision Committee to make a recommendation as to the policy to follow in connection with cul-de-sac lots. MOTION Moved by Commissioner Forman, seconded by Commissioner Michler, that tentative map of Tract No. 22335 be recommended for approval subject to the following conditions: 1.

A covenant in a form approved by the City Attorney shall be recorded agreeing that for the purposes of Article IX of the Arcadia'Municipal Code the exterior boundary line of said tract shall constitute the rear lot line of lots 3 to 6 inclusive. Said motion was carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners Ferguson, Forman, Michler and Golisch NOES: Commissioner Acker and Norton ABSENT:; Commissioner Rutherford TRACT NO. 27403 The Planning Commission considered Tentative map of Tract No. 27403 located on' Santa Anita Terrace west of Santa Anita Avenue, containing 8 lots. The staff report was read and a map exhibited of the area. This subdivision will now connect the former tract coming off Santa Anita"Avenue, and the tract on the west end at Azure Way. There is now approximately 300 feet between the two dead-end streets and this tract now closes up that gap, and will open the street for traffic all the way through. MOTION Moved by Commissioner Ferguson, seconded by Commissioner Norton, and unanimously carried that'Tentative Tract Map.No. 27403 be recommended for approval subject to the following conditions:. 1. Provide all necessary rear line overhead utility easements 2. Install all standard street improvements required by the subdivision ordinance.

TRACT NO. 27444 The Planning Commission considered Tentative map of Tract No. 27444 located north of Longden Avenue, and west of Second Avenue, containing 36 lots. The Planning of the area. substance aa Secretary read the staff report and exhibited a map A letter had been received from the subdivider in follows: The map is submitted although they were very much aware that it did not entirely meet the subdivision requirements within the City of Arcadia. The area covered by this map has long been a problem area. Many subdividers have attempted to develop the land without success. Most of the defeating circumstances were continuing and could not be eliminated for an unforeseeable future, they have concluded that the map as filed is the best that can possibly be worked out. They had overcome many' difficulties, additional property has been purchased making better lots. Some property had to be purchased in its entirety in order to procure the necessary rear line arrangement. There are two pools to be filled. There would be the three lots with filling the pools that otherwise would not be developed. Two other properties are being purchased outright. The Planning Department had requested an opening into Longden Ave. Because of this, additional property had to be purchased and im- provements demolished, involving considerable expense. First Ave. is being extended southward,--an opening is also being made to Second Ave, where it will be necessary to relocate an existing house to make the lot lines conform. 12 ft. on Second Ave. is being dedica- ted to-the City for street purposes. Three lots are but 66 feet in depth. This is all the~operty that remains after providing for the street. They have tried to buy 34 feet ,from the five owners of the property to the south but were unable to deal with any of them. One wanted to sell the entire property at an inflated price to get the 34 ft. Another wanted $1.00 per square foot. One would not even talk to them or let them in the house. The only recourse is to divide the 334 ft. with 66 ft. depths. It would not be practical to let it remain outside of the tract. It would only detract from the balance of the tract. If a precedence is needed there is one on Magnolia where the lots are 65 feet deep. This tract was developed approximately four years ago. Although some exceptions are requested they have what they believe can be a very fine subdivision. There are 8.8 acres June 26, 1962 Page Eight . . now undeveloped. The property owners are very anxious to develop the property and a better map cannot in their opinion be developed. Discussion ensued. The Planning Secretary read the staff report and exhibited a map of the area. MOTION Moved by Commissioner Acker, seconded by Commissioner Forman, and unanimously carried that Tentative Tract Map No. 27444 be recommended for approval subject to the following conditions: 1. The City shall accept the offer of "future stree.t" dedication for First Avenue between Las Flores and the north line of the tract. This street to be opened and improved by the subdivider. 2. Dedicate a 5 foot planting and sidewalk easement along each side of Arthur Avenue and Louise Avenue. 3. Dedicate Arthur Avenue 49 feet wide and dedicate one foot in fee to the City between lots 32 and 33. 4. Rearrange the lines of lots 25 and 26 to clear the swimming pool on lot 24. The pool shall be covered or otherwise protected until completion of a new house on the lot. 5. Relocate or remodel the dwellings at 2113 S. Second Ave. and 51 E. Longden Ave. and the garage at 2111 S. Second Ave. to conform to new lot lines. 6. Provide all necessary rear line utility easements. 7. Remove all other buildings and structures within the tract except the dwellings at 2111 S. Second Ave, and 33 E. Longden Ave. 8. Remove all trees from the street right of way. 9. Install all standard street improvements required by the subdivision ordinance. Improvements, grading, grades and drainage shall be to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works. The minimum grade shall be 0.4% or a minimum storm drain to Second Ave. will be required. 10. Construct a 6 ft. high solid grape stake fence, or other approved equal fence along the property between Lots 32 and 33, according to the code requirements. 11. Pay the following fees: Street tree installation $654.5) Stree.t light' installation 1610.00 Street name sign installation 280.00 36 lots recreation fee @$25.00 900.00 Total $ 3444.50 12. A covenant--in a fonii approved by the City Attorney shall be recorded agreeing that. for the pur- poses of Article IX of the Arcadia Municipal Code the exterior boundary line of said tract shall constitute the rear lot line of lot 18. TRACT NO. 22314 The Planning Commission considered Tentative Map of Tract No. 22314, Winnie Way extension west from Andrews Road, containing 7 lots. The Secretary read the staff report and exhibited a map of the area. June 26, 1962 Page Nine PUBLIC PARTICIPATION RESOLUTION NO. 451 MOTION MOTION RESOLUTION No. 453 MOTION MOTION . . The subdivider had also presented the tract restrictions and a letter showing that he had obtained signatures for the lifting of the restrictions to develop the land. A letter had been received from a reputable title company to the effect that they would guarantee the title with the required signatures. Some discussion followed. This being in an R-O Zone the discussion was that care should be given to the restrictions and to the size of the lots. Some of the lots were below code, but were desirable size lots. With the portion being cut from the lot facing on Norman Ave. this.would create a lot 90 ft. wide and the Code in R-O requires lots to be 100 ft. in width. The land taken from this lot, however, would widen Andrews Road. Inasmuch as this tract had not been before the Subdivision Committee it was the opinion of the Commission that the Chairman of the Subdivision Committee fix a meeting date to consider this tract and report back to the C01IUIIission at its next regular meeting. Commissioner Ferguson fixed Friday, June 29, 1962, at 7:30 A.M. as the meeting date, and so advised the committee members. The committee will also study the cul-de-sac revision. No one in the audience desired to be heard.
