There was considerable discussion by Council. Mrs. Johnson further stated that the railroad does have the right to break the lease in 30 days' notice; that all the business people contacted were in accord with this beautification project and did not object to the elimina- tion of possible parking areas; that the group felt that if the City could complete one project and do it well, then they would have the unanimous cooperation of everyone else to accomplish other projects that were necessary.

Mr. Asmus further stated that the City Engineer has studied the costs and problems involved in extending this. street, and has spent considerable time in surveying, definitely concluding that there is a drainage problem which would re- quire a minimum of 2-54" pipes and considerable filling; the total cost of this work being approximately $7,328.00. The cost would be $4,618.00 if we were able to secure the nec- essary fill without paying for it....if we had to haul In material, the additional cost would be $2,710.00. This is merely a cost estimate, as requested by Council, and not a recommendation. There was discussion by Council wherein Councilman Little- John stated that the letter and petition should be placed on file with the Planning Commission in the event that there would be a zone change, etc., within that area, and that this data could then be entered as a protest of the people with regard to this particular channel by Bess Avenue. Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated that Council had instructed his office and the City Engineer's office to make a study of the results of Mr. Walker's request that the street be,*opened, and the petition and the Walker matter are all the same portion of Bess Avenue.

Ramona Boulevard, Baldwin Park, stated that there were no access roads to the freeway to the west and most of the drive-in traffic would still go to the east as they have been doing; that Mr. Walker had told him that this street had been there for a number of years...long before the City was incorporated...and was used by the public from time to time, in fact, as long as Bess Avenue has been there; that the only access people have now is to go up to the frontage road on the freeway to proceed in an easterly direction; that this would give them one more street to get In and out of the area and this would be important for civil defense reasons, fire, police, etc. He further stated that, as there would be very little water coming down that old channel, which is blocked off, it could be considered as a maintained dip. Mr. Forest R. Walker, 1011 North Baldwin Park Boulevard, Baldwin Park, stated that they had an organization who would like to lease the 150' x 150' corner, and in so doing, would tear out the old house and buildings exist- ing at Bess Avenue and Baldwin Park Bouelvard. He further stated that there was an established road which was laid out when they purchased the tract in 1917... that it was an indicated road and had always been used by the public and that now that the water problem had been removed, it seemed that It should come back to its former status. Mr. John B. Swan, 18850 Gladstone Blvd., Covina, Real Estate Salesman, whose agency had in process a lease for Mr. Walker's property, stated that the Interested party proposed to build a super" service station and preferred having a 3-corner street for the purpose of being able to turn around; that a one-way street had been found to be entirely unsatisfactory for this type of operation. He further stated that they also had a lease In process for a high-class" restaurant... one where only food would be served. It was for these reasons that Mr. Walker had been asked to see what he could do about having Bess Avenue cut through or put back in operation. There was discussion by Council where In the general con- sensus of opinion was that they needed additional time for evaluation and study of the matter before making a decision. COUNCILMAN HOLMES MOVED that Council TAKE THIS MATTER UNDER ADVISEMENT and REQUEST THE CITY ENGINEER TO RECHECK HIS FIGURES and RETURN TO COUNCIL at the NEXT REGULAR MEETING under Unfinished Business. COUNCILMAN WILSON SECONDED. There were no objections, the motion carried and was so ordered by Mayor Cole.

There were no objections, the motion carried and was so ordered by Mayor Cole. 00- Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated that he had an item to present before Council which was not on the Agenda. COUNCILMAN WILSON MOVED that the item be brought on the AGENDA. COUNCILMAN BISHOP SECONDED. There were no objections, the motion carried and was so ordered by Mayor Cole. 00- Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated that Mr. Messore, 3826-3834 Baldwin Park Blvd., Baldwin Park, planned to build a duplex and two individual, houses on his property R-2 zone) to City's existing regulations which required him to setback 20' from existing right-of-way. The existing right-of-way on Baldwin Park Boulevard is 60' in width, and individuals have voluntarily setback to the new proposed 100' width of Baldwin Park Boulevard;-however, in comply- ing with this they would lose the right to develop two buildings. Under the City ordinance a man cannot be re- quired to setback on a proposed street width, but only as it isrequired now. There are three alternatives to con- sider, being: I) City may condemn 20' of property and acquire it in that manner and then owner would have to set back from that, point 2) that the City and the property owner agree to build all structures, ending with 5' set backs when Baldwin Park Boulevard is widened 3) that appli- cant would-be willing to adjust his plans so City could have sufficient setback. Mr. Asmus recommended that Council go ahead and grant this building permit, with the building to be set back 5', and that Council proceed immediately to amend the zoning ordinance to take care of future situations of this nature.

He further stated that this is along the lines of A" Plan in which there is no member of the Council necessary to be on a Board of Directors; that Civil Defense people are more cognizant of the facts of what is transpiring; that if money is required they cqn send,it to the Council and let them decide if they wish to go along with the recommendations of the Director; that this plan eliminates the Area D" Board and the Area D" executive officer.
