Mayor Bishop announced that it was now the time and place
for public hearing on Zone Exception Case No. ZE-45, a
request for zone exception on property situated at 3259
Frazier Street, Baldwin Park, Leonard A, Jones, applicant.
City Clerk Balkus stated that the required publications,

Planning Director Mansfield presented a resume of the case,

Mayor Bishop asked if there was anyone in the
desiring to speak In behalf of Zone Exception
audience
Case No.
ZE-45.
Mr. Leonard Jones, 3258 North Frazier Street, Baldwin Park,
Applicant, stated that he would not be qualified to comply
with the conditions called for under Section 3 Item A, of
Planning Commission Resolution No. 737, as he was not the
owner of the property, but that Mr. W. J. McMullen and
Mrs. Margaret McDougal were. He further stated that Mr.
McMullen indicated he would object to dedicating ten feet
of his property for the widening of Frazier Street and also
bear the entire cost of moving the buildings, etc........
that if the land were given to the City, they should then
make the improvements. Mr. Jones stated that Item B,
Section 3, which requires that a cash deposit or bond be de-
posited for the improvement of the entire Frazier Street
frontage with curb, gutter, sidewalk and pavement hook-up,
would work a definite hardship upon him, as that expense
would deplete his finances alloted for the construction of
a roof to protect his equipment. He stated that, relevant
to Item C, Section 3, he was willing to meet these require-
ments refacing of east, north and south sides of the barn
but that he would need 6 months to I year in which to
accomplish it.
As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak
either in behalf of or in opposition to Zone Exception Case
No. ZE-45, Mayor Bishop declared the hearing closed.
City Attorney Saunders offered legal clarification relevant
to the responsibility of Mr. Jones regarding Items A, B and
C under Section 3, and considerable discussion ensued.
Mr. Jones further stated that he has about $8-9,000.00 in-
vested In this equipment, and it was originally set up with
the intention of installing a roof, which would make an
attractive addition to his buildings. He expressed the
feeling that he was averse to building something inferior,
in the interim, and later negotiating the conditions of
approval.

posed to be changed to R-l, to which Planning Director

Mayor Bishop asked if there was anyone in the audience de-
siring to speak in behalf of Zone Case Z-97.
Mr. Milton Hadley,Attorney representing Mr. A. K. Agajanian
and Union Oil Company, stated that,, the matter of the legal
advertisement had been brought to his atterttion, after which
he endeavored to find our how and when this information
got to the newspapers. He recounted the h.lstorical facts
of the case under discussion, dating to its origination in
November, 1960, and expressed the opinion that such publica-
tion could have been made at that time as a matter of ex-
pedition, but that the editor, Mr. Thomas, has admitted the
error and will print a retraction. Mr. Hadley further
stated that a petition containing 112 signatures has been
given the City Clerk for a matter of record, and offered a
summarization of the number of signatures gained from each
area, and offered further elaboration in pleading their
request for a change of zone.

siring to speak in opposition to Zone Case Z-97.

john requested that the material, as presented by Mr. Hadley
tonight, be entered and made part of the record. Mr. Hadley
answered queries of Council relevant to the size of the
property in question, the type of business venture involved,
etc.
As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak
either In behalf of or in opposition to Zone Change Case

Page 10
I wish to retire from the field of-law enforcement after having
served city, county and state goverment for more than thirty-five
years. It Is my desire to assist the Council in obtaining a man
who shall meet the high standard of the police profession. If the
Council should desire me to remain as Chief of Police until a suit-
able replacement is obtained, please advise.
I wish to thank the members of the City Council for their assistance
in creating one of the finest law enforcement agencies in California.
The officers are well trained, honest, sincere and dedicated employees
and I am very proud to have been a part of this organization.
Yours very truly,
L. T. TORRES

August 19, 1961
City Council
City of Baldwin Park
Baldwin Park, California
Honorable Mayor and Councilmen:
In reference to letter In agenda of August 21st regarding
the retirement of the Chief. of Police, I wish to herewith
express my opinion relati to this matter.
Inasmuch as Chief Torres has done an outstanding job in
organizing and developing one of the finest police de-
partments in the State of California, It was indeed with
sincere regret that I noted his letter stating his wishes
to retire.
I feel for the best interest of Baldwin Park and the police
department that we should accept the Chief's offer to con-
tinue as our Chief of Police until suitable replacement Is
obtained and that we should. also request Chief Torres to
assist this Council in obtaining a man who will be well
qualified to handle the position.
Since I am unable to attend this meeting, this letter is
being written so that the Council will have my thinking
on this when the matter is up for consideration.
Sincerely,
Donald V. Holmes
Councilman

Supervisors to allocate the money for our portion out of

ment estimated to cost $81,590.00, including engineering,
