PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS /l/..(JJlu.J~ r:-
The opplicants propose to reopen an exisfing^~erlice sta146n.l1.he area of the subject site
is opproximatelY-1,4,OOO square feet. The e.xisting building floor oreti is approximotely
1,125 squore reet) ,
The proposed development is substandord in that it does no~ovide the required landscoped
areo on' t~westerly property line between the eXistin.g pump islond ar,d First Avenue, nor
does it ~delineated porking stolls. It is the Planning Deportment's opinion thot the
ten (10) feet between the westerly property line and the pump islond is not odequate to
permit the req."ired construction of a five (5) foot planter and still provide safe traffic
circulation; therefore, sf'off recommends that the Plannin,g Commission grant relief from
this IOl1dscoping requirement,
In addition, the applicants have requesbed that the,Plonning Commission grant relief
from the following reCJuirements: (1) The elimination of the required plonter; at the
intersection of Coiorodo Boulevord and First Avenue, and the 5 ft, x 38 ft. planter on the
northerly property' line between the existing pump island and Coloraoo BouJevord; (2) the
proposed forty (40) squore feet of raised plClnting locoted along' the northwest carner of
the building facode be eliminated; (3) requ~st to ,ubstitute ospholt berm insteod of
concrete curbing at the planters on the east and south property I.ine; ond half-inch pipe
insteod of three-quorter inch water pipes be permitted (See attached letter of request).

, ,
approvol Numbers 1 & 2, which require a 15 foot radius corner cut-offond a'n irrevocable
offer to dedicate 10 feet for future widening of Colorodo Boulevord would eliminate
opproximotely one-half of the planteral' the intersection of Colorado Boulevard and
First Avenue and because these plonters interfere wit h the safe flow of customer traffic,
relief should be gronted from these conditions,
It is Staff's opinion that the proposed plonter at the corner of the lot could be increosed
towards the interior of the lot without interfering with the troffic circulat ion of the subject
site. Also, the Department of Public Works has stoted thot the J>roposedwidening of
Colorado Boulevard will not take ploce until19740r 1'975; consequently, the Planning
Department feels the plonter focing Colorodo Boulevard should be instolled as indicoted
on the plot plan.
RECOMMENDA TlON

conditions:
1.

The Plannina Commission
Arcadia, California
Gentlemen:
I herewith respectfully request a waiver for the follow-
ing requirements of the conditional use permit for my service
station at First and Colorado in Arcadia, California. The
elimination of the planter islands at the corner of the lot
and the 5'x35' foot island on the north side facing Colorado
Blvd. The city (Arcadia) has requested a ten foot setback for
future widening of Colorado Blvd. Also the installation of
these two islands would interfere with the safe flow of cus-
tomer traffic. The elimination of these two islands would
also make it unnecessary to break up the black top to install,
the water lines. The building and sidewalk were not designed
for planter boxes at the windows. It would block off part of
the sidewalks and ~lould create a walking problem.' So I am
asking to please eliminate these planters.
Since the s,tation is not ne\'1 I \'louldappreciate the per-
mission to substitute' asphalt burro instead of concrete curbing
at the nlanters on the east and south sides. Also the east and
south pianters are not large. I feel half inch ,.ater lines
would carry the load. In that way we could hook up to fhe build-
in6 water lines. This would eliminate break~n8 up of the black
top, except at the rear of the building. Half inch pipe in-
stead of three quarter inch \'lould be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Ot to \ieller
