Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Planning Director Mansfield presented the findings of the
Planning Commission and that they approved the change of
zone.
City Clerk Backus stated that all the proper postings,
mailings and publications had been made.
At this time City Clerk Balkus again administered the oath
to those arriving late.
Mr.-Don F. Gates, 1230 S. Santa Anita Avenue, Arcadia, an
Industrial Real Estate salesman handling this matter for
his client, Pine Ridge Lumber Company and Regal Door Company,
stated that this particular piece of property was ideal, and
that it formed its own natural" buffer zone.
Mr. Homer G. Hamilton, 2005 North Olive, Santa Ana, repre-
sentative of the Pine Ridge Lumber Company and the Regal
Door Company, explained briefly how they anticipated utili-
zing the area, if rezoned; that Pine Ridge Lumber Company Is
a wholesale lumber company; that they intended creating a
buffer strip with desirable plantings along the wash and
explained the planer area operation.
Mr. Burl Watson, 13057 E. Garvey, Baldwin Park, stated he
owned 90% of the buffer zone behind this proposed plant and
the property is now zoned R-3. He stated that they were
planning to build income properties apartment houses) which
land would extend except for about 1751) from Bess down to
the end of Torch Street. He further stated that the pro-
posed use of this property was welcomed-that it might pro-
vide work for anticipated renters of;theirapartment build-
ings.
Mayor Cole, at this time, asked if there was anyone in the
audience wishing to speak in opposition to the proposed change
of zone.
Mr. Edwin Elko, 13057 Bess Avenue, Baldwin Park, stated that
his principal objection was to the type of operation it was;
that he could not see any way to stop the noise from the
planing mill, and that he did not think it was good planning
to have such a heavy operation as this next to a residential
area.
Mr. D. W. Asquith, 13138 Judith, Baldwin Park, objected
strongly to the noise that would be created by this type
of planing operation, and also felt that the planting., as
proposed, would not be sufficient as a buffer zone.
Mrs. A. C. Marsicovete, 13067 E. Bess Ave., Baldwin Park,
stated that she objected to the noise that would emanate
from this type of operation and felt, too, that it would
tend to depreciate the residential value of the properties
in that area.
Mrs. Laura McDonald, 1022 Leorita Street, Baldwin Park,
stated that she objected to the noise.
Mr. James V. Crittelli, 13109 E. Torch Street, Baldwin Park,
stated that he objected to the dust and noise that would
result from this operation.

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus requested permission
to bring the matter of Delaney Building Final on the Agenda
at this time.
COUNCILMAN HOLMES MOVED THAT THIS MATTER REGARDING DELANEY
BUILDING FINAL BE BROUGHT ON THE AGENDA AT THIS TIME.
COUNCILMAN BISHOP SECONDED. There were no objections, the
motion carried and was so ordered.
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus presented the findings
of the City Engineer, stating that, in order to give Mr.
Delaney a final" on his building on the corner of Maine
Avenue and Los Angeles Street, it would require an ease-
ment dedication of 10' off the southerly edge of the prop-
erty and 10' off the westerly side of the property; that
the matter was further complicated by the fact that Mr.
Delaney had leased a portion of ground 60' in width and
150' in depth from Mrs. Alice B. Couch, who lives at 4532
N. Maine Avenue, Baldwin Park. The parcel of ground leased
is a portion of two lots which are 45' and 73' in width
and 255' in depth, being Lots 6 and 7 of Tract No. I396.It
was the recommendation of City Engineer Young that a deposit
in the amount of $1,020.00 be required to guarantee the
installation of curb, gutter and sidewalks for a length of
255' on Los Angeles Street, and that pavement hook-up for
this area would require an additional amount of $510.00.
Mr. Harvey S.Krieger, 1125 South Glendora, West Covina,
Attorney at Law, appeared on behalf of Delaney Real Estate
Company, primarily to inform Council that they were pre-
pared to give a guarantee that curbs, gutters and sidewalks
would be completed, but that there was the question as to
what extent their legal obligation would be, as they are
leasing only a portion of the premises. He further stated
that their appearance here, tonight, was that of lessee"
only, and that regardless of Council's decision, were pre-
pared to give a guarantee as to installation of curbs,
gutters and sidewalks.
City Engineer Young further clarified the matter, expressing
his opinions and findings.
Mr. Krieger further stated that their lease was for exactly
one year; that this was unimproved property on which was
constructed a building...now they want utility connections,
for which they need the requestdd final clearance;that-the
position has been taken that curbs, gutters and sidewalks
must be installed before this final clearance is granted.
Considerable discussion followed wherein Chief Administrative
Officer Asmus stated that Mrs. Couch had indicated that she
would dedicate the necessary street widening of the entire
255' and City Attorney Gorlick clarified the matter of the
requirements of pavement hook-up, and stated the three condi-
tions which would justify a waiver.
COUNCILMAN HOLMES MOVED THAT COUNCIL ACCEPT A CASH DEPOSIT
FROM MR. DELANEY IN THE AMOUNT OF $900.00 TO COVER CURBS AND
MISCELLANEOUS IMPROVEMENTS, COVERING 150' OF THE PROPERTY
WHICH IS UNDER LEASE, WITH SAID DEPOSIT BECOMING THE PROPERTY
OF THE CITY TO USE FOR IMPROVEMENTS WHEN THE PROPER TIME
ARRIVES, AND THAT CURBS, GUTTERS, AND SIDEWALKS BE WAIVED ON
THE BALANCE OF 105'. COUNCILMAN BISHOP SECONDED. The motion
carried by the following vote:

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Mr. Krieger stated, for the purpose of the record only,
that with reference to the motion that was adopted by the
Council with respect to that portion in excess of $600.00
which is properly attributable to pavement hook-up, that
the cash deposit will be made under protest, without preju-
dice to the rights of the lessee.

COUNCILMAN HOLMES MOVED THAT ITEM #3, UNDER REPORTS OF
OFFICERS AND COMMISSIONS, SECTION c", CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE
OFFICER, BE BROUGHT ON THE AGENDA AT THIS TIME. COUNCILMAN
WILSOW SECONDED. There were no objections, the motion
carried and was so ordered.
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus presented the matter of
a request for waiver of curb, gutter and sidewalk by Mr. P.
Barr, lessee of property at 13766 Francisquito, Baldwin Park.
Mr. H. Snyder, owner of the property, had been asked to con-
sider installing curb, gutter and sidwalk across the entire
property in exchange for the vacation of 10' of excess right
of way along two of Mr. Snyder's parcels of land and another
portion along a third parcel, which proposal was refused by
him. City Engineer Young recommended the installation of
curb and gutter along Mr. Snyder's property at the same time
that curb and gutter was installed along the properties on
the opposite side of the street, and that a cash deposit in
the amount of $600.00 be required to cover costs.
Mr. Harry Snyder, 1913 P tfic Lane, West Covina, stated that
he did not feel that depositing a cash bond in the amount of
$600.00 was justified and that changing the right of way
boundaries, at the present time, offered no advantage.
Discussion followed.
COUNCILMAN LITTLEJOHN MOVED THAT COUNCIL WAIVE THE CURBS,
GUTTERS AND SIDEWALKS AT 13766 FRANCISQUITO PROVIDING THAT
BLACK-TOP is INSTALLED UP TO AND INCLUDING THE 10' OF THE
EXCESS RIGHT OF WAY, AND THAT THE REQUIREMENT OF A CASH
DEPOSIT BE WAIVED. COUNCILMAN HOLMES SECONDED. The motion
carried by the following vote:

BISHOP, WILSON AND MAYOR COLE

City Attorney Gorlick presented his opinion, as requested
by Council, regarding fee for relocation of outdoor adver-
tising signs, wherein he stated that an applicant's fee is
determined by the number of permits required... that if
each sign required a separate permit, the fee would be
$100.00 per sign; that the decision whether to require only
one permit is administrative, and that any decision made
should be based purely upon administrative considerations,
not financial hardship to the applicant.
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated that, if based upon
administrative consideration and discretion, one application
and one permit should suffice where two signs would be located
on two different parcels of property, it would require separate
application and permit for each one.
Discussion followed wherein Planning Director Mansfield offered
further clarification of definitions contained in the Zoning
Ordinance.

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Mr. Arthur Goff, representative of Pacific Outdoor Adver-
tising Company, stated that they felt, basically, that the
requirement for the conditional use permit for an outdoor
advertising structure in a general business or manufacturing
zone is a hardship in itself... that normally, in most cities,
these permits are granted as a matter of right in that type
of zone. He enumerated various average cities and their fees
for outdoor advertising signs, and stated that they would like
to relocate their freeway signs without further trouble.
Discussion ensued.
Mr. Jack Matthews, representative of Foster & Kleiser Com-
pany, stated that they felt the requirements of the ordin-
ance were too harsh, and were hopeful that it could be
amended. He further stated that it was their feeling that
permits for location of signs should be handled through
the Building Department, as is done In many other cities.
Further discussion followed.
COUNCILMAN HOLMES MOVED THAT SIGNS CAN REMAIN UNTIL THE
BALDWIN PARK PORTION OF THE FREEWAY LANDSCAPING IS COMPLETED

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
RESOLUTION NO. 60-29
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK DENYING
HOPKINS-CAILLIER SPECIAL USE PERMIT.
WHEREAS, Harold and Louise Hopkins, Husband and Wife
and Ruth Smith, 1707 East Bay A"enue, Balboa, California,
as owners, and Aloys Caillier, 520 West 109th Street, Los
Angeles, California, as Lessee, applied for a special use
permit to mine rock aggregate on certain property in the
City of Baldwin Park, situated south of Olive Street, north
of Los Angeles Street, and east of Rivergade Road, herein-
after called the Hopkins" property, and
WHEREAS, the City Council has just concluded a public
rehearing of said application pursuant to a judgment of the
Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the
County of Los Angeles Case No. 691) and has rendered a de-
cision by minute motion denying said application, and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to formalize its
findings and conclusions supporting said decision,
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City
of Baldwin Park does find, determine and resolve as follows:
FINDINGS
I. That the Hopkins property contains approximately
25 acres.
2. That it is zoned M-I for manufacturing and In-
use.
3. That it is suited for such use.
4. That it is undeveloped.
5. That it contains rock aggregate.
6. That the owners have not tried to develop this
property for any use other than as a rock quarry.
7. That the property can be developed for other
permitted uses.
8. That the adJotning property containing rock aggregate
is being used for manufacturing and commercial uses.
That the owners have leased the property to Aloys
Caillier for use as a gravel pit for the removal of
sand, gravel, rock and rock products under a ten
year lease, dated November I, 1954, which was re-
vised on January 20, 1955, as follows:
This lease as originally drafted was hastily
drawn, it is therefore to be revised and renegoti-
ated when as and if governmental permits are obtained
by Lessee. Lessor waives the right to receive' payments
of rents under this lease to be paid by the Lessee to
the Lessor but only until proper governmental permits
are received by Lessee. Lessee will diligently pursue
the receiving of all necessary and required permits
of all governmental agencies according to law, ordin-
ances and regulations, all at his sole cost and ex-
pense. The above waiver of rent by Lessor and the
pledges, by Lessee, to secure all permits at his sole
cost and expense are the considerations each given to

the other to keep this lease in full force and
effect upon the successful conclusion of the
campaign to receive all permits required, the
above mentioned final revised and renegotiated
lease will be provided by Lessor and Lessee and
Lessor will re-execute the final revised and
renegotiated lease whereupon this original lease
will become null and void. Lessee does not
guarantee the success of the campaign to obtain
and secure the necessary permits as set out above".
10. That said lease is of no force and effect unless a
special use permit to mine rock aggregate is granted
by the City of Baldwin Park.
II. That lessee proposes to mine the property to a depth
of 100 feet on a one-to-one slope.
12. That mining operations would have to be set back 50
feet from the property line.
13. That a portion of the property would have to be used
for a rock crushing plant, washing plant, access roads,
and stockpiling of materials.
14. That the City of Baldwin Park has a Master Plan of
Highways on which Olive Street is shown as a secondary
street which will be extended westerly to Rivergrade
Road, passing through a portion of the Hopkins property.
15. That if a rock quarry is permitted it will not only
prevent the extension of Olive Street to Rivergrade
Road but will have an adverse effect on the develop-
ment of necessary street patterns in the area, which
will be needed to properly and adequately handle the
growing traffic generated by the rapidly expanding East
San Gabriel Valley.
16. That with these limitations, rock aggregate taken
out wild not exceed 4,000,000 tons or 400,000 tons
per year over a ten-year period.
17. That the water level iri the City of Baldwin Park is
at approximately 110 feet.
18. That the mining of rock aggregate will create clouds
of dust, dirt and sand, in spite of proposed or known
methods of controlling such condition.
19. That sand and dust in the air would be detrimental to
the health of persons living in the area.
20. That mining operations to a depth of 100 feet, or less,
would create an unsightly hole, which would constitute
a permanent eyesore and a hazard to the health and safe-
ty of the community, and would especially endanger the
adjacent residential areas in case of earthquake.
21. That applicants presented no plan of reclamation for the
quarry.
22. That immediately to the east of the proposed quarrying
operation is a large, established residential area and
a dairy.
23. That the residential area is well landscaped and main-
tained, reflecting pride of ownership among the inhabit-
ants hereof.

24. That the noise caused by the rock crushing and other
mining operations would distrub the neighboring resi-
dences.
25. That the County of Los Angeles plans to install County
Storm Drain Project #407 through a portion of the
Hopkins property.
26. That the City of Baldwin Park will lose this storm drain
project if the quarrying-operation is permitted.
27. That the City of Baldwin Park will realize very little
sales tax, if any, from the rock quarrying operation.
CONCLUSIONS
1. That the Hopkins property is suited for manufacturing
and industrial use.

3. That use of the property for rock quarrying will not
produce the tonnage anticipated by leasee,,A,Ioys Caillier,
if setback requirements and other reasonable limitations
are imposed.

and unreclaimable hazard to the health and safety of the
community.
5. That the proposed quarry would probably contaminate the
water supply of the City of Baldwin Park.
6. That the proposed quarry would create clouds of dust,
sand and dirt in the air sufficient to constitute a
menace and danger to the public health, safety and
general welfare.
7. That the noise from the rock crushers and other quarry-
ing operations would constitute a public niusance to
residents in the area.
8. That property values of residential areas adjacent to
and in the immediate vicinity of the quarry would be
substantially lowered by the proposed quarry and the
affected areas would soon deteriorate and require de-
molition or extensive rehabilitation.
9. That the City of Baldwin Park will lose a valuation
storm drain project if the application is granted.
10. That the rapidly expanding East San Gabriel Valley
will need connecting cross streets in the area of the
proposed quarry.
II. That there is nothing the applicants can do, or have
proposed to do, that will sufficiently eliminate the
injurious features of the quarrying operation to war-
rant permitting them to operate with the impos,ttion of
conditions designed to reduce or eliminate objection-
able features
12. That the granting of the application would be a menace
and danger to the public health, safety and general
welfare.
