I request the City Council to consider an adjustment in my hook-up charge as provided under the resolution establish- ing the fee. Very truly yours, October 2, 1961 Page 4 /s/ John E. Hopkins John E. Hopkins Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated that, as a,matter of further information, the lot is approximately 348.361 in depth and 911 in width, and the total assessment would be approximately $362.18, of which $180.18 would be the square foot charge and $182.00 would be for the front foot charge; that if this parcel is split there would be the matter of getting the sewage out, which was in part, the reason for a low per square foot charge. Discussion followed wherein comparison was made between the existing charge and the charge under a 1911 Act; wherein Mayor Bishop suggested that a policy should be set on how to handle these deep lots; wherein the matter of a refund or credit being given for an area that would become a future public street was considered. COUNCILMAN HOLMES MOVED THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY BE IN- STRUCTED TO DEVELOP AN AMENDMENT TO THE PRESENT SEWER FUND PROPOSED ORDINANCE THAT WOULD PROVIDE THAT ANY LAND THATWOULD BECOME FUTURE PUBLIC STREETS, THAT A REFUND OR CREDIT, WHICHEVER WOULD BE APPLICABLE, WOULD BE MADE COVERING THE AREA TAKEN UP BY PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY. COUN- CILMAN BLOXHAM SECONDED. The motion carried by the fol- lowing vote: AYES: COUNCILMEN HOLMES, BLOXHAM, COLE, LITTLEJOHN AND MAYOR BISHOP NOES: NONE ABSENT: NONE Mr. John Hopkins, 3614 North Vineland Avenue, Baldwin Park, stated that it was his understanding it was going to cost him $360.00 to put the sewer in...just for the connection, and cited examples of the costs to others in the neighborhood, as a matter of comparison. He further stated that he did not know when he would de- velop the land in back and, as such, could not see why he should pay for that now.... that assessment should be made at the time property is developed; wherein he argued the point of having to pay the assessment on the Flood Control portion of the property. Members of Council endeavored to explain the reasoning and intent of the ordinance governing these charges, and City Attorney Saunders stated that there will be a new ordinance shortly which will incorporate indications that Council have given tonight.

Mayor Bishop asked if there was anyone in the audience de- siring to speak in behalf of Zone Case Z-76. Mrs. Loretta Ord, 14365 East Garvey, Baldwin Park, stated that Mrs. Ragus had the north half of this property zoned C-I several years ago but the other half was not zoned at that time because of being under cultivation by a rose grower; that the only stipulation for C-I zoning was that a 5' block wall be installed, which has been done; that sev- eral inquiries on this property have been recel'ved from doctors for professional offices. As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak in behalf of Zone Case Z-76, Mayor Bishop asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition. Mr. Frank Grello, 14057 Snowdale Street, La Puente, spoke in opposition in that the 5' block wall that has been constructed is not 5' in its entire length....that on his property it is but 3J'-4' high and has peek-a-boo" holes in it, to which he objected. iv%r- Paul Noel, 14037 Donaldale Street, La Puente, spoke in opposition in that the block wall is not adequate in height t'lat it is just high enough for the children to peek through"; that the ornamental spaces should be cemented in and the wall made higher in order to provide them with sufficient privacy.

Mr. Carrol K. Dowd, 14056 E. Whitesell, La Puente, spoke in opposition in that the block wall is only 41 high on his property and he would like it to be higher. Speaking in rebuttal, Mrs. Ord stated that this wall is 51 high and that it was made uniform by raising it as needed; that three times the wall has had to be rebuilt because of the blocks,being knocked down; that the ornamental openwork is merely one block from the top and only every third block, with the purpose of relieving the plainness of the wall; that she expressed objection to adding any more height to the wall as it would then have a tendency to cut off the circulation of air. As there was no one else in the audience wishing to speak either in behalf of or in opposition to Zone Case Z-76, Mayor Bishop declared the public hearing closed. Discussion ensued relevant to the height of the block wall, wherein Mrs. Ord stated that the height could be increased if the adjoining property owners wished to pay for it.... that they have spent over $3,000.00 now, and that it has been; constructed beyond the degree of requirement; wherein the ornamental openwork of the block wall was discussed relevant to its being an enticement for children, which could create a hazard to their safety.
