Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Mayor Cole reported that he and Councilmen Bishop and Little-

1961, at 10:00 a.m.
00-
Planning Director Mansfield called Council's attention to the
matter of the first three lot splits on the Agenda, in that
the Planning Commission tries to provide adequate street
frontage in all cases for future street purposes but that the
City Engineer, In expressing his opinions, stated that we would
be using City forces to develop private property, in that the
surveying would have to,be done on private property. Mr. Young
further stated that normal surveys cost about $0.50 a foot;
that, as this is not dedicated property it presents a problem;
that, if it were legally all right to do this survey work, then
a similar charge to the lot splitters should be made, as is to
the subdivision engineers, which runs about $150.00-$200.00 per
lot for improvements.
Considerable discussion followed wherein Planning Director
Mansfield stated that this procedure as is being followed,
would open up streets, making it possible to get access in
the interior of the area; wherein City Engineer Young stated
that this problem, as such, was that of the future street to
the rear of the properties being private property, and that
fhe problem of drainage easements being processed; wherein
Councilman Holmes expressed the opinion that, where legally
possible, the City should cooperate towards the over-all
development of the community. The matter of costs of de-
velopment, responsibility as to the imrpveement of the future
streets, and interpretation of the agreements now used was
discussed, with the City Attorney providing legal clarifica-
tion.
Mr. Manuel Ramirez, representing Mr. Valdez, Lot Split No.
320, 4620 Bresee Avenue, Baldwin Park, expressed the opinion
that the dedication for future streets should be accomplished
at the time of lot split processing, and wondered who would
be responsible for the paving of the 101 widening of Bresee
Avenue.
Discussion ensued.
Mr. Frank Halterman, Subdivider, 1671 Fiske Avenue, Pasadena,
California, stated that anything over four lots comes under
the Subdivision Map Act, and that, relevant to the matter of
pavement hook-ups, they do not object to doing this as it is
a small item of cost.
Discussion continued with the City Attorney giving legal
clarification as to the use of public funds.
City Clerk Balkus administered the oath to those in the audience
wishing to speak before Council.
Mr. Bill Howard, 3243 North Vineland Avenue, Baldwin Park,
stated that, relevant to the lot splitters bearing the costs
of future street improvement, interior lots with no access
to them could not compare in value to lots having future
street accessibility, and that the cost Increase might be
prohibitive to some.
Discussion continued wherein City Engineer Young elaborated
on the problem of drainage; wherein Chief Administrative
Officer Asmus stated that the procedure, after a lot split
has been approved by Council, is that the required documents
are prepared then signed and notarized by the applicant, and
sent to the Recorder's office... all of which is accomplished

there are not sufficient funds for replacement, but with the re-
quested repair work being done, it should last five years.
