Hancock and Harold McKay as follows: February 45, 1961 City Clerk City of Baldwin Park California Dear Madam: Permission is respectfully requested by the signers of the attached petition, residents of the south side of Francis- quito between Baldwin Park Boulevard and Ramona Boulevard, for an audience before the council of the City of Baldwin Park at the next open meeting, February 20, 1961. Respectful[y, /s/ Mrs. Marlin D. Hancock Mrs. Harold McKay City Clerk Balkus also read a petition containing 140 signa- tures, as follows: Baldwin Park, Calif. February 13, 1961 To the City Council of Baldwin Park, Calif. We, the undersigned, residents and property owners in the City of Baldwin Park, Calif., interested in the safety of children who will be required to cross the proposed route along Francisquito Ave. between Baldwin Park Blvd. and Ramona Blvd. protest the passing of Ordinance #162. We also respectfully request that the existing truck route Baldwin Park Blvd.) be maintained, as the traffic along Francisquito Ave. creates sufficient obstacle to the life expectancy of the children. The juvenile pedestrian count will include some seventy-five per cent of the total estimated school population of seven hundred who will either cross or parallel the truck route twice daily enroute to and from classes. At this time City Clerk Balkus administered the oath to those in the audience desiring to be heard during the meeting. Mrs. Marlin D. Hancock, 3445 North Remey, Baldwin Park, spoke in protest to the routing of trucks on Francisquito Avenue, stating that the safety of the children should be given more consideration, especially so with the opening of the new Sierra Vista High School in September of this year wherein an estimated 700 children will attend, 400 of which will cross Francisquito; that it was her opinion that Francisquito Avenue is not well patrolled; that reconsideration of Francisquito Avenue as a truck route would be appreciated.

He further quest- ioned the sudden passing" of the ordinance, and wondered why truck traffic could not be continued on Baldwin Park Boulevard while being improved; inferred that a taxpayer's suit might be instigated if satisfaction were not derived. Councilman Holmes endeavored to explain and clarify the reason- ing behind the routing of truck travel as set forth in Ordinance No. 162, elaborating on the studies in process by various com- mittees in the San Gabriel Valley for an over-all plan for es- tablishing a definite route for truck travel. Mr. James Gibson, 13268 East Francisquito Avenue, Baldwin Park, expressed the opinion that it was not necessary to pass an ordi- nance re-routing traffic merely to alleviate a temporary street improvement condition; wherein he asked clarification regarding the availability of monies for this street improvement work and the status of the plans, etc; wherein he questioned the initia- tion of removing the trucks from Baldwin Park Boulevard; that it was his opinion the problem was not being solved by elimina- ting truck travel from one street and placing it on another. As a matter of further clarification, Councilman Holmes stated that the money is available for the improvement of Baldwin Park Boulevard but the plans are not, as yet, complete; that a resolu- tion authorizing the execution of an agreement with Walsh-Forkert, Civil Engineers, is on the Agenda for Council action tonight, which, if adopted, will hasten commencement of the work; that the removal of truck travel from Baldwin Park Boulevard was not due to any agitation by the residents, but that this is a street improvement project that has been under consideration for over a year. Mayor Cole announced that it was now the time and place for public hearing on Zone Exception Case ZE-38, a request for zone exception in Zone R-2 to permit grocery store opearion at 5026 North Maine Avenue for ten years, Arthur H. and Marion W. Cunningham. Planning Director Mansfield presented a resume and the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, wherein approval was recommended subject to the conditions set forth in Planning Commission Resolution No. 622, and located the area on the map for benefit of Council. City Clerk Balkus stated that the required publications, mail- ings and postings had been accomplished. Considerable discussion ensued relevant to the legal status of California Avenue. Mayor Cole asked if there was anyone in the audience desiring to speak in behalf of Zone Exception Case ZE-38. Mr. Arthur Cunningham, 5026 North Maine Avenue, Baldwin Park, store and property owner, stated that he felt it would be detri- mental rather than advantageous to install sidewalks at this location; that his entire area is blcak-topped; that various workers enjoy parking under the tree to eat their lunch; that he did not think it possible to have sidewalks due to the present width of the street...that it would create a hazard- ous condition; that it was his belief that eventually Continued) February 20, 1961 Page 3 MICHAEL DARGUS 13260 Francisquito Baldwin Park Re rerouting of truck travel.

As there was no one else wishing to speak in behalf of the zone exception, Mayor Cole asked if' anyone wished to speak in opposition. Mr. Keith Criswell, 13260 East Francisquito, Baldwin Park, asked clarification of Council action regarding a previous zone exception, ZE-39, re curb, gutter and sidewalk installa- tion. Councilman Littlejohn offered clarification as to Zone Ex- ception Case ZE-39, Sterling Savings and Loan Association, in that they were required to post a cash deposit in an amount to be determined by the City Engineer guaranteeing installa- tion of improvements at a time to be determined by the City Council. City Engineer Young reported that California Street is listed as a private street and not on the tax rolls. Acting City Attorney Flandrick stated that, until the records are checked, there would be no way of determining whether this is a public or private street. Mr. Criswell wondered why, at this time, it was so Important to Council that California Street be Improved with sidewalks, being that it is such a narrow street. Councilman Littlejohn answered the query by stating that, if the street is a public street, it has been required, in the past, to install sidewalks at the time of development; that the intent of Council is to improve the streets as fast as possible. As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak in behalf of or in opposition to this zone exception case, Mayor Cole declared the hearing closed. Discussion followed. COUNCILMAN LITTLEJOHN MOVED THAT ZONE EXCEPTION CASE ZE-38 BE HELD OVER; THAT THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER BE INSTRUCTED TO DETERMINE THE EXACT LEGAL STATUS OF CALIFORNIA STREET; THAT MR. CUNNINGHAM BE SO INFORMED OF THIS DETERMINATION AND NOTI- FIED WHEN THIS MATTER WILL AGAIN BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA. COUNCILMAN BISHOP SECONDED.

Mr. Herbert D. McCarthy, 1240 San Marino Avenue, San Marino, stated that he has been a property owner in the State of California for over thirty years and has dealt in real estate, both industrial and commercial, for the last fifteen years, and represents the owners of the property, Mr. Duntley and Mr. Agajanian. He further stated that he was responsible for selling the property to Union Oil Company...that escrow was opened, and their funds have been with the Title Insurance and Trust Company, subject to approval of the zoning, for the last several months; that it was his feeling that the recom- mendation of denial by the Planning Commission was predicated upon a general over-all plan, and that this property was planned to remain as residential; wherein he complimented Simon Eisner & Associates, Planning Commission and Council on the proposed general plan; that it was his opinion that no one would develop this property as residential; that the City could accomplish, through commercial zoning of this property, definite advantages; that Union Oil Company would erect a modern service station, dedicate the property, have addition- al facilities, such as rest rooms for the use-of the general public, etc. Mr. Art Agajanian, 805 South Sierra Bonita, Los Angeles 36, California, original owner of the property, stated that it was his feeling that this property is definitely commercial; that he has been a resident of Baldwin Park for some time and hasdealt with the past three Planning Directors; where- in he presented several photographs of the property under discussion for Council's viewing. Mr. Joseph M. Roush, 246 Beaumont Street, Playa Del Rey, stated that he has appeared before the Planning Commission on behalf of his client, Mr. Duntley; that he has, for the past twelve years, dealt in plant location work; that it was his suggestion that Council give consideration in be- half of this case, as a help to the City, to Mr. Agajanian, Mr. Duntley and Union Oil Company. Mr. H. Glendenning, Union Oil Center, Los Angeles, California, stated that it was not the procedure of Union Oil Company to try to change residential property for service station use, but occasionally a site is found that has lost its value as a residential area..and that is the reason this particular prop- erty at Puente and Merced,,rvas selected; that the oil companies have to service and cater to the wants of the buyers, wherever that might be; that an outside appraisal was made of this property, with the determination being that the highest and best use for this parcel would be a service station. Mr. McCarthy stated that he was qualified to appraise proper- ties, being employed by others to do so, and concurred that the best use of this property would be for a service station; that although there are commercially zoned properties available, only a small percentage are on corners, which are best suited for service station purposes.

Walker, 3202 North Puente Avenue, Baldwin Park, expressed the opinion that this particular piece of property was too narrow to be suitable for a service station; that C-2 zoning Was too heavy" for this location; that this prop- erty might, in the near future, have subdivision development potential. Mr. Agajanian, in rebuttal, stated that the present condition of this property is not sanitary, due to the files and debris; that the only way this property can be improved is to bulldoze" it and erect a modern service station with rest room facilities; that Union Oil Company, he felt, would install an adequate fence providing sufficient separation, and that their facl'lity would be an asset to the City. Mr. Glendenning, in rebuttal, stated that Union Oil Company has given that property much consideration and that it was sufficient in depth and width. As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak either in behalf of or in opposition to zone case Z-87, Mayon Cole de- clared the hearing closed. Discussion ensued.

Mrs. Harold MacKay, 13116 Francisquito Avenue, Baldwin Park, stated that her two daughters, in order to attend school, would be compelled to walk up Francisquito Avenue, which has no curbs, and that, at a point, the street becomes very narrow; that routing of trucks on this street will not slow down auto- mobile traffic; wherein she questioned whether this would be a permanent route; it was her suggestion that Ramona Boulevard, straight through to Peck Road, be utilized, which would give access to the Freeway; that, with the opening of another new school, the trucks would be an additional hazard. Mayor Cole stated, in answer to Mrs. MacKay's query, that Francisquito Avenue is a permanent route at the present time. Mr. James Gibson, on behalf of the citizens on Francisquito Avenue, welcomed the new Acting City Attorney and congratulated him on his appointment; wherein he questioned regarding the legality of a north-south route...what the status is and what is legally required. Mrs. Marlin Hancock, 3445 Remey, Baldwin Park, stated that it was her understanding the routing of truck traffic on Francisquito Avenue was a temporary measure; that the corner of Frazier and Francisquito will be utilized for student and faculty and school bus parking, which will create further traffic problems; questioned regarding a proposed park off of Francisquito; that it was her understanding the new school will not have a major athletic field. Discussion followed wherein Councilman Bishop proposed that the truck route be changed to route travel out Ramona Blvd. to Peck Road-that, eventually, there will be on and off ramps at Ramona Boulevard, and that Rivergrade Road will qualify from the standpoint of a north-south route.

COUNCILMAN BLOXHAM SECONDED THE MOTION. Further discussion ensued wherein Councilman Holmes questioned whether the proposed motion was uncontestable, wherein Acting City Attorney Flandrick stated that there was not an absolute mandate stating that a north-south, east-west route had to be established. Mr. Thomas Wallace, 16129 Doublegrove, La Puente, a former resident of this area, questioned the City Attorney as to whether there is any division of gas tax funds relevant to trucks and automobiles; questioned whether, in removing a nuisance" from one area to another, if this would be called discriminatory".

CHIEF, ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER ASMUS INSTRUCTED TO GO TO BID ON BOTH PHASES OF COOLING, WATER AND REFRIGERATION; CHECK ON BASIS OF BOTH CENTRAL AND INDIVIDUAL SYSTEMS; AND REPORT BACK TO COUNCIL. 00- Councilman Bishop questioned Chief Administrative Officer Asmus regarding the walk-in vault, wherein Mr. Asmus stated that the problem was one of design and that City Engineer Young was working on it. 00- The-matter of an agreement with Walsh-Forkert Civil Engineers, Inc. for the improvement of Baldwin Park Boulevard, and a resolution authorizing the execution of the agreement was pre- sented. The estimated cost of Phase I was $9,707.00, with an estimated cost of $15,500.00 for the acquisition of right of way. It is possible the City can do its own inspection and thereby save the 2% fee for inspection and supervision of field work and final set of grades for construction. Considerable discussion followed wherein City Engineer Young expressed the opinion that, with the work-load he is carrying, there would be no available time for acquisition of right of way work, and, it was his suggestion that, to expedite the staking of grades and field inspections, the contractor be permitted to do this... otherwise, it would mean removing City crews from other projects. Councilman Bishop expressed the opinion that the City could-handle the acquisition of right of way work better than an engineering firm, and suggested that a person be hired to do this work only; wherein there were pros and cons as to whether the 2% fee should be deleted or not. At the request of Mayor Cole, City Clerk Balkus read Resolution No. 61-25 by title as follows: RESOLUTION NO. 61-25 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDNIN PARK AUTHOR- IZING EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT WITH WALSH-FORKERT ENGINEERS" COUNCILMAN BLOXHAM MOVED THAT RESOLUTION NO. 61-25 BE ADOPTED.

Distributing Co. concerning Sears Roebuck advertisements, wherein the total amount involved, being City license fees owed since 1958, plus penalties, is $7,110.00. He further stated that the Woods Distributing Co. has been charged on a felony count by the District Attorney's office in El Monte, and charged with vio- lation of the business law in West Covina; that, in discussing the matter with the attorneys and an evaluation of the costs involved, it was their recommendation that we compromise the total amount due and accept $5,710.00, which would pay the license fees for 1958-59, plus the license fee and penalty for 1960. Discussion ensued wherein Acting City Attorney Flandrick gave legal clarification in that Council may waive any part of the penalty.
