March 3, 1961
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Baldwin Park, California
Attention: E. R. Asmus, City Administrative Officer
Gentlemen:
After careful consideration and much deliberation, I
herewith tender my resignation as Planning Director
effective April I, 1961.
It is with some regrets that I resign my position
as I have enjoyed my affiliations, mutual work and interests
with the City Council, Planning Commission, City Hall per-
sonnel and the citizens. I consider myself fortunate to
have had the opportunity to be a part of your organization.
I have accepted the position of City Planner with the
City of Arcadia. Basically, there were three main factors
that helped me make this decision.
1. Civil Service status after a six months probationary
period.
2. A 10% increase in salary and a step plan for an ad-
ditional 5% each year for two years.
3. State retirement and social security plan and employee
benefits which include hospitalization and a credit
union

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
I have the Planning Department organized to a point
where I am confident the programs underway will be completed.
The new zoning ordinance has been reviewed by my assistant
and further review will be our main objective to April Ist.
I will be available to attend any study meetings and/or
public hearings that the City Council, Planning Commission
or City Administrative Officer will require. I plan to re-
side in Baldwin Park for some time.
Yours truly,
/s/ Stanley R. Mansfield
Planning Director
Mayor Cole, on behalf of the Council, expressed their regrets,
and commended Planning Director Mansfield for his fine work
for the City of Baldwin Park and wished him luck in his new
position.
COUNCILMAN LITTLEJOHN MOVED, WITH REGRETS, THAT THE LETTER OF
RESIGNATION OF PLANNING DIRECTOR MANSFIELD BE ACCEPTED. COUNCIL-
MAN HOLMES SECONDED. The motion carried by the following vote:

Acting City Attorney Flandrick presented a draft of an ordi-
nance relative to the establishment of a truck route and a
memorandum.
Councilman Littlejohn suggested that this would be an approp-
riate time for Mayor Cole to report on the meeting he had at-
tended with the City of West Covina.
Mayor Cole reported that he had met with the City of West
Covina last Tuesday night, February 28, 1961, wherein they
discussed the matter of truck routes and mutual problems,
and it was his assumption that they have designated Azusa
Avenue and the Freeway as their truck route.
Considerable discussion followed wherein Councilman Bishop
expressed the opinion that the necessary publications on
this new ordinance should be initiated in ord er to get it
started; wherein Acting City Attorney Flandrick stated that
a public hearing must be held before new procedures can be
adopted, and that it cannot be held sooner than sixty 60)
days after the first publication; that Council is not re-
stricted by the terms of the ordinance; that it was his sug-
gestion that the City Engineer be given a copy of this draft
to examine, with particular attention to the designation of
streets; that the Chief Administrative Officer, City Engineer
and Acting City Attorney will study this draft and evolve a
final ordinance to be presented to Council at the next meeting.
Councilman Littlejohn queried regarding the compulsory
establishment of a north-south, east-west route, to which
Mr. Flandrick stated that the City does not have to designate
the same routes as the County has but, if such were precluded
in the ordinance, this could be a determining factor as
to its validity; wherein Chief Administrative Officer Asmus
drew attention to the fact that this ordinance, as drafted,
would specifically establish Ramona Boulevard as a truck
route and would be posted as such, and also, that it would be
necessary to give reasonable notice of such along the highway
to people entering the City as to the restrictions...all of
which would require two types of signs, being for weight limit

Mayor Cole asked if there was anyone in the audience
desiring to speak in behalf of Zone Exception Case ZE-40.
Reverend James G. Leovy, 4315 Maupin Street, Baldwin Park,
Pastor or St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, spoke in behalf of
the zone exception, stating that the proposed use of this
property is consistent with the community at large; that the
exception is needed to enlarge their facilities and improve
their property, which, in turn, will enhance the value of the
neighborhood; that, if required to do so, they will be very
happy to put in sidewalks adjacent to the curb within the right
of way; wherein he queried that, if the City does plan to
widen Clark street in the near future, then they would like to
be granted a waiver of the sidewalk requirement along Maupin
as there are sidewalks on the property there now; that since
they are not being required to give the additional 5' for widen-
ing at this time, to put the sidewalks in now would mean they
would go where the future curb would be...right through the
middle of the building.

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Mr. Fred Stoddard, 14418 East Clark Street, Baldwin Park,
stated that he lived across the street from the church and
wondered what they intended doing about parking, as Clark
Street is very narrow, and it is very dangerous when they
park on both sides of the street; that if the church would
pave an area for parking he would be in agreement to the
zone exception, otherwise, he would oppose it.
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 ensued wherein Planning Director Mansfield further
clarified the conditions as set forth in Planning Commission
Resolution No. 631.

Mr. Marshall Hadley, 14304 East Ramona Boulevard, Attorney,
representing Mr. Dennis Irving, dba Baldwin Auto Wreckers,
stated that he has been practicing law in Baldwin Park since
1956; that it is his opinion that the people of Baldwin Park
will benefit from this auto wrecking yard, as it serves a
definite commercial purpose; that the applicant purchased this
business in 1955 shortly after the County had granted a special
use permit, and at that time, the property was composed of the
original some 140'+; that the primary purpose. of the business
was the sale of scrap iron, but Mr. Irving recognized the need
and the potential for an auto wrecking yard in the City, and
if properly conducted, would be an asset to the community;
that, early in 1959 the applicant engaged an attorney, Mr.
Griffiths, to apply for a permit so that he could operate on
the land immediately south of that which he had purchased after
incorporation of the City...but this attorney applied for a

zone exception instead of a special use permit, and because
of this, the application and filing fee was returned to Mr.
Irving; that the applicant has, from the beginning, endeavored
to secure the proper use permit; that, in his opinion, Mr.
Irving operates a very clean" wrecking yard; that Mr. Irving
proposes to completely surround the property with a fence, to
build an office building with a retail store beneath being a
two-story building); that it is his opinion there is a definite
need in the City for an auto wrecking yard, for the benefit of
individuals, insurance companies, etc.; that this operation
will be 1,0001 from any presently existing road; that Mr.
Irving paid over $2,000.00 in sales tax last year, which bene-
fits the City; that Council estimated that the City of Baldwin
Park received approximately $200.00 of this amount last year;
that it was his hope Council would fully consider the request.
Mr. Joseph Altagen, Attorney, 208 West 8th Street, Los Angeles,
California, stated that he was appearing as a friend of the
court"; that he has, for the past 17 years, represented the
Southern California Automobile Wreckers Association, and the
last 5 years represented the State of California Automobile
Wreckers Association, and is affiliated with National Automo-
bile and Truck Wreckers Association; that an automobile wreck-
ing yard is far removed from a junk yard" and elaborated at
length as to the differences between the two opera tions, citing
examples, and read a portion of a letter from Sheriff Peter
J. Pitchess relevant to the contribution of automobile wrecking
operations towards law enforcement; that, on behalf of Mr.
Irving, his request should be considered.
Considerable discussion ensued relevant to license fees for
this type of operation, locations of automobile wrecking yards,

queries of Council.
Mr. Dennis Irving, 2714 West Caldwell Street, Compton, appli-
cant for Special Use Permit, stated that he would be glad to
answer any questions of Council.

that he did not know any of the gentlemen involved in this case;
queried if there is any immediate plan to change the M-1 zoning
of this property in question; stated that he wanted to go on
record as being in favor of this operation as the City needs
an automobile wrecking yard for the benefit of its citizens...

Police Department there should be no objections; that, in answer
to Mayor Cole's query as to whether he would live next door to
an automobile wrecking yard, Mr. Gibson stated that he would
not live next door to a grocery store".
As there was no one in the audience wishing to speak in opposi-
tion to the special use permit request, Mayor Cole asked if
anyone wished to speak in rebuttal.
Discussion followed relevant to this property abutting resi-
dential, the matter of ingress and egress, the matter of
dedication of land for future street improvement; wherein
further clarification was provided by Mr. Irving and Mr.
Hadley, with their answering queries of Council; wherein
Councilman Bishop expressed the opinion that there must be
a place in Baldwin Park for the location of this type of
operation.
As there was no one in the audience desiring to speak in
behalf of or in opposition to this special use permit re-
quest, Mayor Cole declared the hearing closed.
Further discussion ensued relevant to the disposition of

but also provide some measure of control over the clearing of
property of unsightly debris with City forces if the owner of
same refused to do so; that the provisions are in accordance
with those recommended by Mr. Gorlick and the National Institute

that this provision be retained as is, rather than change it to
a flat fee of $100.00 per year.

an amended agreement for engineering, services with Walsh-
Forkert Civil Engineers, for the preparation of plans and
specifications for the improvement of Baldwin Park Blvd.
north of the Freeway. He further stated that the original
agreement authorized for execution at the February 20, 1961,
meeting, included a provision for the inspection and super-
vision of the construction at a fee of 2% of the total con-
struction cost based upon the final contract bid; that it
has been determined that inspection and supervision of the
actual construction of the project should be furnished by
the City with its own forces; that, if it should be deter-
mined later that we want the services of the consulting
firm for this purpose, a separate contract can be negotiated
at that time; that, other than the deletion of this one
provision, the contract remains the same.
Discussion ensued wherein Chief Administrative Officer Asmus
stated that the original agreement has never been executed;
that a new resolution, repealing and rescinding Resolution
No. 61-25, is before Council now for adoption.
At the request of Mayor Cole, City Clerk Balkus read Resolu-
tion No. 61-20 by title as follows:

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus presented the matter of
the improvement of Baldwin Park Boulevard, in that, as Council
recalls, Supervisor Bonelli's Office committed the County to
assist us in this project in an amount estimated at $25,000 to
$30,000.00; that, in discussing the Puente Avenue Bridge prob-
lem with State officials and Mr. Templin, County Road Commiss-
ioner, it was found they are in agreement that the bridge should
be widened, and he has a tentative commitment, although not
final, from the State Division of Highways that, if the City
will contribute 1/3 approximately $10,000.00) and the County
will contribute 1/3, then they, too will contribute 1/3 toward
the bridge betterment program; that he had been given an indica-
tion that Mr. Bonelli would not be able to go ahead with the
Baldwin Park Boulevard commitment if they commit $10,000.00
toward the Puente Avenue Bridge program; that this matter was
brought before Council tonight in order to release Mr. Bonelli
from the verbal promise regarding Baldwin Park Boulevard so
that the $10,000.00 can be allotted to the Puente Avenue Bridge
project; that, if we can't get Mr. Bonelli back on the Baldwin
Park Boulevard project, then the City Engineer would like to
proceed with the improvement of that portion located within the
City; that it would be impossible this fiscal year for the County
to acquire the right of way on the east side of Baldwin Park
Boulevard due to a house being in the way.
Discussion followed wherein Chief Administrative Officer Asmus
stated that the City cannot spend any of the 3/16's gas tax
money without prior County approval, and any that is not spent
goes back into Baldwin Park's share, which is about $114,000.00
at the present time; that of this $114,000.00, some is budgeted
toward the improvement of Ramona Boulevard and Los Angeles Street
project.
COUNCIL INSTRUCTED THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER TO PROCEED
ALONG THE LINES AS SUGGESTED IN HIS RECOMMENDATIONS AS PRESENTED
AT THIS MEETING.

Councilman Littlejohn suggested that a resolution of commenda-
tion be prepared for Henry Compton, Assistant Civil Defense
Director, in commemoration of services performed for the City.

City Engineer Young presented the matter of Final Map, Tract
No. 26416, located northeast of Pacific Avenue, near the City
boundary, Property Engineering Company, Subdivider, and re-
ported that: the owners have deposited $1,580.00 for inspect-
ion fees, street lights, trees, and street signs; that this
tract is within the Baldwin Park Lighting District; that the
Final Map is in substantial accordance with tentative maps sub-
mitted and approved by both the Planning Commission and the
City Council; that the final tract agrees generally with the
tentative tract with the exception of the drainage of Ardilla
and Chevalier Avenues, in that the tentative map originally
showed that drainage of Ardilla Avenue would be southwesterly
then down Chevalier to Mayland; that this will be a closed
drain with entrance and exit structures.

and plan from the Werner Mutual Water Company have been re-
ceived and studied.

Discussion ensued wherein Mayor Cole stated that he has re-
ceived a letter from Mr. Everett A. Phillips, Consulting Engin-
eer in Pomona, in which he stated that a survey was going to
be made in order to bring the existent conditions up to stand-
ard, and that a complete report should be available the latter
part of April.
Mr. Bobby W. Izell, 4108 Walnut Street, Baldwin Park, stated
that he is going to build on this property if the lot split
is granted; that, after talking to a man in charge of the
pumps at the Werner Mutual Water Company, if he put in larger
pipe then normal and cut into the main at two different places,
he would be able to get as much pressure to the two houses he
is going to build as he would from the mairs; that the cause
for the low pressure in that area is due to old pipes being
clogged up, etc.
Discussion followed wherein City Engineer Young stated that as
long as it is on private property, the pipe size is not regu-
lated, however, Council should be made aware of these installa-
tions with regard to future subdivision tracts and residential
areas; wherein the opinion was expressed that, probably, there
is an inadequacy in the manner of transporting the water;
wherein it was the opinion that this existent water situation
is the responsibility of the water company and not that of the
City; wherein the Chief Administrative Officer suggested that
this case be tabled for the foregoing reasons, and due to the
existent water condition, and that the Planning Department
write a letter to the applicant specifying these reasons for
Council's action.
Mr. Izell further stated that it was his opinion he should be
permitted to go ahead as long as the water company is going to
do something about the situation, and objected to the suggestion
of waiting until the report and survey is made; wherein he ex-
pressed the opinion that if Council denied this request he
would then have recourse on the water company; that he can
furnish water to his two houses and wanted to proceed.
COUNCILMAN BLOXHAM MOVED THAT LOT SPLIT NO. 317, PLANNING COM-
MISSION RESOLUTION NO. 643 BE TABLED UNTIL A REPORT IS RECEIVED
FROM THE WERNER MUTUAL WATER COMPANY; THAT THE WERNER MUTUAL
WATER COMPANY BE NOTIFIED OF THE CONDITION THAT EXISTS; THAT IF
A LETTER OR AFFIDAVIT OF PERFORMANCE IS SUPPLIED TO THE APPLI-

Chief Administrative Officer Asmus reported, with regard to
P.C. Resolution No. 582, Street Name Change Root to Puente,
Puente to Braves), that the numbers on Root Street are in
five digits and those on Puente Avenue in four digits, which
would create a lack of uniformity unless the numbers on both
streets were to be changed.
Discussion ensued relevant to the meeting with the City of
West Covina, wherein Councilman Bishop expressed the opinion
that the matter should be held in abeyance for the present.
COUNCILMAN BISHOP MOVED THAT PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION
NO. 582 BE TABLED. COUNCILMAN BLOXHAM SECONDED. There were
no objections, the motion carried and was so ordered by Mayor
Cole.
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus presented the matter of
Zone Exception Case ZE-38, Arthur H. and Marion W. Cunningham,
a request for zone exception in Zone R-2 to permit a grocery
store operation at 5026 North Maine Avenue for ten years,
wherein the status of California Street was in question.
Acting City Attorney Flandrick reported that, according to
the Record of Survey, there is no indication as to ownership
of this particular parcel and it is probable that Mr.
Cunningham does not own the fee interest in that right of
way; that there are two ways to determine the actual status
of the property, being: 1) file on the property 2) have the
Title Insurance & Trust Company render a title report which
is in the nature of a preliminary title report, or a type of
condemnation guarantee) which would determine ownership of
that property, and which would cost approximately $38.00;
that this is a private street and the deeds themselves would
be the connotation of the actual ownership of the variots
parcels involved.

Planning Director Mansfield presented Lot Split Case No. 319,
a request by Joe and Ramona Swallow for a lot split at 12925
East Bess Avenue, Baldwin Park. Mr. Mansfield explained the
findings of the Planning Commission and that they recommended
approval of the lot split subject to the conditions in Planning
Commission Resolution No. 645.
At this time Council referred back to the letter of Joe Swallow
wherein he appealed to the City to allow him to either go ahead
and install curbs, gutters and sidewalks at time of new con-
struction, or to post the bond or cash at the same time the
other residents on his street are required to do so...or, in
lieu of posting a bond or money at this time, he will sign a
statement or affidavit which would compel him to install said
improvements within a given period of time.
City Engineer Young gave clarification, in that Bess Avenue has
a drainage problem, that it has no elevation... being a ditched
out" street, and needs entire redoing; that it was a question
whether to waive it altogether and let the people on the street
go into a 1911 Act, or to take a cash deposit in the event that
others will improve with curbs, gutters and.sidewalks; that a
section of curb and gutter should not be built at this time
because of the amount of water the street carries.
Discussion followed.
