Deputy City Clerk Leonard reported that copy of Notice of
Adjournment of the Regular Meeting of October 19, 1959 to
October 26, 1959, had been posted as required by Law; that
all Councilmen had been notified of the adjournment as re-
quired by law; and that proper affidavits covering the
posting of the service of the notices were on file in the
office of the City Clerk.
COUNCILMAN LITTLEJOHN MOVED that the City Council Minutes
of the Regular Meeting of October 5, 1959, be APPROVED and
that further reading be waived. COUNCILMAN HOLMES SECONDED.
There were no objections, the motion carried unanimously,
and was so ordered by Mayor Cole.
City Clerk Balkus informed Council that Mr. Ronald DeLorme,
4136 N. Harlan, Baldwin Park, wished to speak before Council
regarding his Lot Split #199.
City Clerk Balkus administered the oath to Mr. DeLorme.
Mr. DeLorme stated that the only way he could obtain a lot
split was by dedicating 60' of his property, which would
not give him enough room to continue his chicken business.
He further stated that he would be willing to make this
dedication providing there could be an exception made that
it would not go into effect as long as there was a poultry
ranch there; but that at any time that he would give up
the chicken business, it would then go into effect im-
mediately.
Planning Director Teater explained to Council that the
Planning Commission has, for some time, had a development
study for this particular area between Harlan and Center
Streets, and felt that the dedication should be made for
the future street, but that the applicant should be able
to continue to use it as a chicken ranch until such time
as the area develops.
There was discussion by Council.
It was the consensus of opinion that Council could not give
Mr. DeLorme any assurance that a street would never go'in,
nor could they stipulate any time limit, thereby making this
particular lot split an exception.

Chief Administrative Officer Asmus requested permission to
bring an item before Council not listed on the Agenda.
COUNCILMAN LITTLEJOHN MOVED that the Chief Administrative
Officer be permitted to bring an Item on the Agenda.
COUNCILMAN WILSON SECONDED. There were no objections, the
motion carried and was so ordered by Mayor Cole.
00-
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated that the City had
been appraoched by owners of the property located south and
west of Bess Avenue and Baldwin Park Boulevard, adjoining
the washy for possible annexation to the City. A map had
been filed with the County Boundary Commission and will be
heard by them on Wednesday. Before proceeding further, ap-
plicants have requested a statement of policy from Council
as to what will be required in the way of street improvement.
The City Engineer has spent considerable time in reviewing
this entire area in relation to the extension of Bess Avenue
across the old wash and the problems of development on this
property.
It was the recommendation of the Chief Administrative Officer
and City Engineer Young, based on Section 8195.5 of the
Baldwin Park Municipal Code, that: Bess Avenue should be
improved with curb, gutter and pavement hook-up for a dis-
tance of approximately 4001-westerly from the center line of
Baldwin Park Boulevard, the approximate cost of this improve-
ment being $1,372.00; that sidewalks should be waived in
this development inasmuch as this property is contemplated
for development as M" use, and little pedestrian traffic
would be anticipated; that additional widening of Bess Avenue
from the point referred to above could be waived since actual
development of the property would not call for ingress and
egress at this point; that improvement of Baldwin Park Blvd.
for a distance of 85' with curb, gutter and pavement hook-up
should be required if a State and County gas tax project
cannot be accomplished within the foreseeable future...the
cost of these Improvements, not including sidewalks, would be
approximately $357.00; that a 20' dedication should be re-
quired to develop Baldwin Park Boulevard to its ultimate
width.
Discussion by Council followed.
Mr. Don Gates, 1230 South Santa Anita Avenue, Arcadia,
industrial Realtor, representing the prospective buyer of
this property, stated that said buyer is very much in
favor of becoming annexed to Baldwin Park and having the
property rezoned M-I", but that there were certain re-
quirements that he had to have as to what the costs in-
volved were going to be. If he can have an expression
from Council as to maximum figures or distances Involved,
then he could proceed with a request for annexation.
Further discussion by Council continued with a general
consensus of opinion being that this would make a good
development and be a great improvement, also, that It
would make a natural boundary.

COUNCILMAN BISHOP MOVED that Council concur with the
recommendations of the Chief Administrative Officer re-
garding the street improvement requirements on proposed
annexation of the property located at the southwest
corner of Bess Avenue and Baldwin Park Boulevard.
COUNCILMAN HOLMES SECONDED. The motion carried by the

MAYOR COLE

Chief Administrative Officer Asmus questioned Council
as to whether or not he should commence proceedings to
see if he could get this set up through a gas tax
project.
COUNCILMAN LITTLEJOHN MOVED that the Chief Administrative
Officer be instructed to have the City Engineer prepare a
primary street improvement under gas tax funds and that the
project be submitted to Council for approval and later be
submitted to County Aid for Cities money or Gas Tax money
and bring recommendations back to Council. COUNCILMAN

In the absence of City Treasurer Pugh, City Clerk Balkus
read the Treasurer's Report as of September 30, 1959.
COUNCILMAN BISHOP MOVED that the Treasurer's Report be
RECEIVED and FILED. COUNCILMAN HOLMES SECONDED. There
were no objections, the motion carried and was so ordered
by Mayor Cole.
At this time there was considerable discussion pertaining
to the Area D" meeting that was held on September 29, 1959,
at the Dinnerhorn in Covina, and two other meetings held In
West Covina.
The Chief Administrative Officer reported several facts,
namely; that a plan had been worked out by the 4 or 5 cities
that have been reluctant to spend the taxpayer's money in
this Area D" as it is now organized, and this proposed plan
would eliminate the paid executive head of Area D"; we would
still be a part of Area D" but the coordinator's job would
be shared by each city on a rotating basis; that a plan
should be worked out before presentation to the Board of
Mayors; that if the 4 or 5 cities that aren't going to con-
tribute stay out, those cities staying in will have to pick
up their share and pay that much more; and that he felt the
majority of cities would be reluctant to put the County in
as coordinator.
Councilman Littlejohn, as committee member, stated that:
he preferred not representing Council as being in favor of
the $12,000 a year budget when many of the cities were
making no effort...and Baldwin Park has made a tremendous
effort...to provide the kind of communications equal to

any other city, and perhaps a little better; that Mr. Hoover
is now being paid by the County to coordinate matters between
the County and the City, and then there is still another co-
ordinator that is being paid approximately $600.00 plus
traveling expenses, etc., which is a duplication of payments;
that there was a question as to whether or not they could
legally adopt the budget without first submitting to each and
every Council for their approval and the Council, in turn,
preparing a resolution adopting the Area D" budget; that if
the City withdrew that Area D" would be entitled to the equip-
ment purchased for Area D" operations. He also felt that
the County representative should be considered very highly
as an area coordinator over a given period of time.
Mr. Joe C. Pierce, 3722 N. Willow Avenue, Baldwin Park,
stated that; it would not make any difference whether or not
the City contributed to Area D", that we would still belong
in Area D"; the main thing was that we have a coordinator and
an Area D" office; that the State of California has limited
channels from which they can received information from the
local cities...it comes through the State Capitol, down to
your Sector, then down to Regions, then out to Areas and
then into,lQcal cities; that the Directors should have more
voice in the matters and bring the information back to the
City Managers and thence to Council; that the money that is
spent for a coordinator's salary is needed in our own local
city for communications and supplies; that if the City could
get an operational plan into effect by January Ist, approved
by the City, the State and Federal government, then we still
would be eligible for matching funds.
After considerable discussion by Council it was the con-
sensus of opinion that the matter would be studied further.

Adjourned Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
estimated at 18 months, and the earliest we could expect to
have this project completed would be winter after this one.
00-
Councilman Bishop stated he had received a letter that
Congressman Kasem had written to Governor Borwn with refer-
ence to beautification of the railraod tracks. He also
stated that Congressman Kasem though it would be a good
idea if Council would write a similar letter to Governor
Brown. Councilman Holmes concurred with this suggestion
and further suggested that the matter be presented to the
League of California Cities in order to formulate some type
of legislation that will enable the cities to have better
control.
COUNCILMAN HOLMES MOVED that a letter be written to Governor
Brown with reference to the beautification of railroad tracks
and that the matter be presented to the League of California
Cities at their next meeting to see what action could be
generated from that standpoint. COUNCILMAN BISHOP SECONDED.
There were no objections, the motion carried and was so
ordered by Mayor Cole.
00-
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated there were some
problems that should be discussed with reference to the
sidwyard setback line in agricultural zones. He said that
the City is holding 40-50 building permits awaiting the
clarification, as far as the ordinance is concerned, on what
the setback line must be in A-I zone.
There was considerable discussion by Council wherein it was
stated that the ordinance, as originally drawn, was made to
protect the rights of both parties; that the purpose was to
keep the subdividers from putting the backdoors immediately
adjacent to the various type of animals involved in agri-
culture; that the setback had to be at least 151 from the
property line.
City Attorney Gorlick stated that under the State Health
and Safety Code that a separation of 20' s all that is
required between the chicken ranch and an, window or door
of a residence, but under our ordinance a separation of 35'
is required between the chicken ranch and any part of a
residence.
Further discussion ensued.
Ray Snodgrass, 212 W. Valley Boulevard, El Monte, an
attorney, representing Scotcliff Homes, stated that
they had two tracts in process, totaling 27 houses that
building permits are being held up, loans being recorded
that total $240,000 on which interest is accruing due to
delay. He requested that some arrangement be made where-
by in the interim building permits could be issued to
permit them to proceed and utilize the funds that were
being held and on which they were'paying interest.
