by Section 6431 of the Arcadia Municipal Code to drill two wells on

Section 6431 referred to above in Item Six is not a part of the Zoning Ordinance but rather 0
Section of the Arcodia Municipol Code which states:
"6431: PERMIT REQUIRED: No person, either as a principal or agent shall
drill, bore or sink, or cause to be drilled, bored, or sunk, any well

OTHER CONSIDERATION
The Water Department of the City of Arcodia has submitted a report which should be
considered by the Plann ing Comm ission in deciding whether or not to recommend
approval or disapproval of this appl icatian. A copy of the report is attached.
RECOMMENDA TI ONS:
.
The planning Stoff has reviewed the application, studied the plot plans, and visited the area and
recommends that the application not be approved for the following reasons:
I. The development af the subject property with sheds, and a water storage tank
would not be in keeping with the applicable architectural overlay
regulations which were developed to encourage and protect industrial
development in the area.
2. The proposed improvements ore not likely to encourage additional types of
de.-elopment in the area such os the three recently constructed.
3. The comprehensive general plan for the area would, from a planning viewpoint,
be adversely affected.
However, if the Commission decides to approve the application, the ;following conditions of
approval ore recommended:
WP:mo
I. . Clark .Street shall be improved, meeting with the approval of the Director of
Public Works,
2. Dedicate five (5) feet for the widening of Clark Street.
3. The locotion and construction of the proposed tronsmission system leading
away from the pumping plant shall be subject to the approval of the
Director of Public Works,
4. All motors and equipment shall be enclosed within masonry buildings.
5. A landscape plan shall be prepared and approved by the Planning Deportment
before any construction oc~~

TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - V-62-12
SAN GABRIEL VALLEY WATER COMPANY
This application is strongly recommended for disapproval by the administrative stoff of the city,
because the city-owned and operated water depa~tment could be adversely affected.
In the Water Deportment's report it is pointed out that taxpayers of Arcadia have invested 0
considerable amount of money into its water system to insure the production and distribution
of water at a reasonable cost. This investment should not be overlooked by the Commission
in considering the appl ication.
From a planning viewpoint one of the important benefits accruing to a city with an active
planning program is the efficient, economical programming of necessary capital improvements,
(water lines, streets, etc.)
.
Once a plan for an area is developed and subsequently implemented by the odoption and enforce-
ment of oppropriate zoni rg regulations, considerable amount of guesswork is eliminated in deter-
mining the location and size of the publ ic improvements necessary to serve the area. I submit
that such 0 plan was developed for the industrial area on both sides of Peck Road when it was
annexed to the City ond that this plan is being implemented with appropriate zoning regulations,
and consequently the publ ic improvements in the area ore adequate to serve the present develop-
ment and as new development occurs additional facilities can be properly installed.
Normally,. a", unbolance in the programming of capitol improvements results from changes in land
use but in the case before the Comm ission an unbalance cou Id be created by 0 dupl ication of water
facilities.vying for the industrial customers in the area. It is conceivable that under the con-
ditions the facilities presently installed in the area would not be used to their maximum capocity.
If this were the case, public money would be wasted.
At the risk of being redundant, I repeat a sound, workable plan has been developed for the area;
it is being implemented with appropriate zoning regulations; the instollation of public facilities
has been based on the plan; and that there oppears to be no reason to justify any changes in the
plan which could create an unbalance in facilities serving the area.

:~e Ci~y ~f Ar:Adia, during the past flfty years, has bulle and ~tnt4i~e~

':ie and aD ade.,uate fire protection system f:lr the entire City. Tbe
PI esent value ::If the facilitiea, bought ad paid fOT at first by bonda and
~ince by water revenue. amounts to approximately 5~ million dollars.
.. reQ\Jeat for drilling e well was denied the Turf Club in 1951. The Water
~urerlntendent at that time provided the City Council with a~~~te rea-
,ontl for the Council to deny the appl1catiOD. A copy of his letter t_
'lttached.
.
C~nt. regarding the present applicatiaD are aa follows:
1. The proposed well locatiOl1 is approximately 1000 feet southeaat
~t our new Peck No. 1 well. There are pos.iblliti.. of adverse affecta
upon our new facilitiea.
JJ..y~ ""1'> ..- N~ ~
2. Water funda have beep hp8!lded to provide vater mat.n. aDd fire
!lrotectlon f~ thh area. ,'Ve are reimburaed on a frODt foot baah prior
to in.tall.tion of vater aervice. It seems unlikely that the water cCIIlpany
~ould elect to be _erved by our Water Department &ad pay their ahare of the
costs of the City'. f.cil~tlea.
3. Our Water Department tr.....he1on line ill Peck R.oad 18 partly in
the City of MCIIU'ovia ad in the City of Iarindale, Ileither City having
fadliti.. to serve vater in the area. Aleo, to the vest and aouth, the
.lincorp~.ted county areas are poa81ble are.. of lIImexatiOD to Arcadia.
" ~t could then be poalible for the City to be in competition with a private
._tiUty. In addition, the City ia IlOW fumiahing fire protection to the
:'lty of Monrovia in this area.
4. A policy of mutual aid to neighboring water utilities Is now
baing observed. We now have connections to two IllUDlclpal water utUit~es
ind one private utility. It would be difficult to deny a similar reque.t
~1 thi. private utility even though they could be in direct campetition
with the Arcadia Water Department.
S. Additional vater pipelines 1n Peck Road could interfere with pro-
.l';:.sed stom drain .truct'urea, as the only feaaible location 1& now being
