LETTER FROM WESTERN

This letter is in regard to Ordinance #198 the Anti-litter
and Handbill Ordinance.
We the undersigned hope the members of the City Council can
find some way to amend this Ordinance to allow the small Merchants
to deliver their Handbills to the door. As most of you Members of the
Council realize that the small Merchant is faced with the heaviest
competition ever in the history of the City of Baldwin Park.
This Ordinance can work two ways first lowering the Volume
of the small Merchant and also the flow of Tax Money into our City.
Hoping you give this a complete investigation before it is
completely settled.

In re: Ordinance #198 Anti-Litter and Handbills
Undoubtedly with no such intent on yo‡¡‚Õ”ut, this ordinance
effectively hurts the ability of local merchants to use a method of
ad„¶ÐÑœting that is productive and practical.
At the same time, it plays right into the hands of YEÔ¨ÿhut-of-town Discount houses and Shopping centers. Thru the use of
newspaper advert;ËË’+ these organizatjons find it practical to cover
all of San Gabriel Valley. This means of 3ÔÀ‡sising is not
practical for our local merchants.
As a local resident, I, too, am in favor>Ú¸…˜rch of this
ordinance, but I hope some means can be found to amend it to allow
proper dis^°Ç€sion of advertising, while barring the clutter of
throw-aways.
We have used a successful ޞ͚c of distribution by an
organization that places meterial on door handles, between screen-¤v†×†
or on doorsteps where it is easy for residents wo pick up. Our
customers have expressed NŠÌ‡'appreciation to us, so we know it works.
This is not entirely a selfish request. As you a2lÉÄ‚fre,
every dollar of sales lost to Baldwin Park, means something in City
Salestax lost to`{ÀÕdity treasury and the taxpayers.
May I request and hope that you will find some solution fuŸÆÊ€u
mutual benefit? Baldwin Park business will be facing its toughest
competition this yearî+«Éfse don't add another handicap by allowing
this ordinance to stand as it is.
Simcerely,
æÖ…§) W. Ahlman

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council November 20, 1961
Page 3
At the meeting of the Board of Supervisors held November 7, 1961,
on motion of Supervisor Kenneth Hahn, the Board of Supervisors
directed me to request each City Council and School District Boards
of Trustees to express their views as to whether or not an election
should be called to determine the public's reaction to the need for
fallout shelters.
Two dates were suggested: either February 6, 1962 or June 5, 1962,
which is the Primary Election date.
Your early consideration of this matter will be appreciated by the
Board of Supervisors.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Gordon T. Nesvig
Councilman Cole stated that this letter does not give us
enough information regarding what is going to be built and
where they are going to build them; that we should not put
the matter up to the people for a vote at this time.
Councilman Littlejohn stated that he concurs that they
are lacking in the information that they are giving out
and also is not in favor of setting an election date,
at least until we have further information. He further
stated that he does not think that the County Supervisors
know whether there is going to be Federal Aid.
Councilman Holmes concurred that setting of an election
date is premature. He stated they are suggesting some
$400 million dollars in bonds and have not set out any
definite program.
Mayor Bishop stated that he was in full accord with the
rest of the Council.
COUNCILMAN LITTLEJOHN MOVED THAT THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE
OFFICER BE INSTRUCTED TO ANSWER THE LETTERS OF MR. GORDON T.
NESVIG AND KENNETH HAHN TO THE EFFECT THAT THE ELECTION
DATES ARE PREMATURE UNTIL A SUFFICIENT, REASONABLE AND

City Clerk Balkus administered the oath to those in the
audience desiring to be heard during the meeting.
Mr. Ernest V. Ferrando, 14560 East Central Avenue, Baldwin
Park, stated that the curbs and gutters along Central Avenue
were installed approximately five months ago, and the City
promised to put the pavement in by the first of this month;
that the City changed the water flow when the curbs and
gutters were installed and approximately ten inches of water
is going through his place flooding out his garage etc.;
that the water flow used to be toward Vineland, and now
it drains toward Depot Street. Mr. Ferrando stated he would
like to know when the City is going to pave the street and
eliminate this water problem.
Mayor Bishop asked Chief Administrative Officer Asmus if
he could give Mr. Ferrando an answer regarding this project.
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated that the City had
hoped to have the pavement in by now; that there has to be
some reconstruction work done on Central before the hookup
can be made; that the job will be scheduled as soon as the
work which is now in progress on Frazier is completed un-
less the Council feels that some of the work that is set
up to be accomplished is of- urgent enough nature to go out
to private contract. Mr. Asmus stated that he could not
give a definite answer as to when the work on Central Ave-
nue will be completed.
Discussion followed regarding the change in the flow of water
on Central Avenue when the City installed the curbs and
gutters; also, as to whether or not the City was caught up
on their curb hookups at the time the Frazier Street project
was taken on.
Mayor Bishop stated that the City crew should have their
work logged out for them, and there should be a time limit
put on each job.
COUNCILMAN LITTLEJOHN MOVED THAT THIS SITUATION BE GIVEN
PROMPT CONSIDERATION AND INFORM COUNCIL AS TO WHAT HAS
OCCURRED IN THE PAST FIVE MONTHS RELATIVE TO THE STATUS OF
WORK PROJECTS. COUNCILMAN HOLMES SECONDED. There were no

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Planning Director Mansfield presented a resume of the
case, located the area involved on the map on the wall
and stated that the Planning Commission recommended denial
of this request because I) the General Plan outlines a
medium and high density for this particular area and also
recognizes that a street plan should be developed(2) as
outlined in the Community Design Study, Shadylawn should
be extended and an additional outlet to Morgan Street or
Clark) should' be given first consideration and when these
streets are developed the property can then be considered
for rezoning 3) at the present time Shadylawn Drive has a
forty 40) foot total dedication with twenty-six 26) foot
of paving, and with no additional outlet to either Morgan
or Clark, Shadylawn Drive cannot handle a great deal of
traffic which can be expected in R-3 development.
TESTIMONY IN BEHALF OF THE REQUEST WAS CALLED FOR BY MAYOR
BISHOP.
Mr. Donald H. Britt, applicant, 1330 South Sunset, West
Covina, stated that he has agreed to put in the street on
the property if the R-3 Zoning is granted. He stated that
the street problem has existed for ten 10) years; that
the City has two alternatives on this case: to grant the
zone change to R-3 and accept his agreement to put in a
street over his property or to delay the case while the
City determines what they will or will not do as far as the
street is concerned.
Discussion followed as to whether the existing street on
Shadylawn Drive would be able to carry the additional traffic
that R-3 usage would bring to the area.
Mrs. Olive Britt, 1330 South Sunset, West Covina, mother
of the applicant, stated she thought there was a forty
40) foot street from Sierra Madre to the houses on Shady-
lawn Drive.
Councilman Cole stated that there is a forty 40) foot
dedication but only twenty-six 26) foot of pavement.
TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION OF THE REQUEST WAS CALLED FOR BY
MAYOR BISHOP.
No one came forward.
Mr. Donald Britt further stated that the problem seems
to be whether the existing street on Shadylawn Drive is
wide enough; that it is necessary for the City Council to
express itself as to how these streets are to be put in if
we are going to get the six property owners to agree on how
to develop; that the City has a dedicated street of forty
40) foot of pavement down Shadylawn Drive.
Councilman Holmes stated that there are several problems
involved with this application; a twenty 20) foot strip
of property is blocking egress to quite a large area;
Shadylawn Drive was permitted by the County to be a forty
40) foot dedication with twenty-six 26) foot pavement
before the City of Baldwin Park was incorporated; Mrs.
Britt has dedicated an additional five 5) foot to this
forty 40) foot for about one hundred fifty 150) foot on
the side of Shadylawn Drive; it might be possible to get
forty 40) foot of pavement curb to curb on Shadylawn
Drive which is the normal paving width on a sixty 60)

foot street; and possible condemnation of the twenty 20)
foot strip could become involved. It seems that it would
be advisable to continue this matter so that the City
Attorney could bring back a report on what would be in-
volved on this condemnation including cost factors, etc.
Councilman Littlejohn stated with Mrs. Britt's five 5)
foot dedication there is a forty-five 45) foot street
existing now. The problem would be whether or not the
City could get another five 5) foot from the other
side of the street making a fifty 50) foot street and
put in forty 40) foot of paving with the possibility of
the sidewalks being adjacent to the curb.
Councilman Holmes stated that the case should be continued
so the City Attorney can get additional information with
reference to condemnation proceedings.
City Attorney Saunders stated that there is no problem
from a legal point of view with reference to the condemna-
tion proceedings; that the proceedings could be started
immediately if the Council wishes to allocate a sum of
money to handle the acquisition and expenses.
Councilman Holmes asked if the people could be asked to
pay the costs.
City Attorney Saunders said this would depend upon what
the severance damages, closeness to houses, etc. The City
could obtain an agreement from the individuals to reimburse
the City but it should be made clear that this is a public
project, and as such we can require a cash deposit to cover
some of the project costs.

testimony of the City Council of the City of Baldwin Park

brown line as the proposed freeway, secondly the straight
orange freeway; that the City of Baldwin Park is interested
in having on and off ramps at San Bernardino Road and
Rivergrade; also one at either Live Oak or Arrow Highway.
Most of the cities were in accordance that these were the
most economical and practical methods of putting these
particular freeways in to serve this portion of the valley.
Mayor Bishop stated that out of eight recommendations at
this meeting six were in accord with this method. Mr.
Ferro of the Rock Company and the City of Monrovia had
objections to this route.

land Commuter Council regarding public agencies subsidizing
the Railroads to use existing facilities. Mayor Bishop
expressed the view there was not enough information at pre-
sent.
Councilman Holmes felt the matter of the Railroad establishing
commuter service should be given some consideration as it
would relieve the freeways, but felt that subsidizing by
public agencies unnecessary.
Councilman Littlejohn stated that franchise and Right-of-
way was granted for transportation and this should be a
railroad responsibility.
Mayor Bishop stated there would be another meeting about
December 15 or 16 and he would inform the Council.
No Action.
Mr. Gary Thomas Brown, 14619 East Pacific, Baldwin Park, GARY THOMAS BRONN,
came forward at this time and stated he was not old enough 14619 East Pacific,
to vote but that gambling brings in all kinds of people Baldwin Park
and also money for the City, and also asked whether or not
we have plans for better street drainage.
Mayor Bishop stated that we had a bond issue passed in BOND ISSUE RE
1958 which calls for some $600,000 plus dollars to be DRAINAGE
used for drainage problems; that we have one project fin-
ished and two more in process.
Discussion followed as to where the water comes from that
causes the drainage problem in Baldwin Park.

as set forth in Planning Commission Resolution No. 559 with
the exception of the tree planting and we have a cash deposit

Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated that he had
hoped to give a report and recommendation on the sewer
lateral study that is being made particularly as it per-
tains to Merced Avenue as Council ordered. Mr. Asmus
stated that he along with Assistant Director of Public
Works Milak, and Acting City Engineer Johnson are agreed
that they are not in any position due to the complexity
of the numerous bearing situations that we would get into
to come before the Council with a firm recommendation that
Council could adopt by minute motion and have it be of any
legal significance insofar as the people are concerned
when they want to put in sewers. He stated that they had
developed four or five typical situations that are going
to be involved on Merced and elsewhere in the City; even
under the 1911 Act; that the Council has been asked in the
case of the Merced Avenue line, when any individual wants
to hook-up to the Merced Avenue line, pending the comple-
tion of their study and the adoption of a sewer ordinance,
to have the matter brought before the Council with the City
Engineer's recommendations on that specific piece of prop-
erty.
He stated that their preliminary thinking is that in case of
a lot split creating three lots behind an existing house
there should be a line run in that is engineered and prob-
ably be not less than eight 8) inches in size and it should
be approved and accepted by the City as a dedicated ease-
ment right of way, and the sewer would be maintained by
the City. He stated that Mr. Milak has had a discussion
with a gentleman from the sewer maintenance district, and
this is his opinion that unless the City handles it in this
manner they are asking for trouble; Mr. Johnson thinks that
the City must get a comprehensive Sewer Ordinance adopted as
soon as possible because there are too many remifications to
handle it on a piece-meal basis.
Mr. Asmus requested that the Council grant further time to
study this matter.
Discussion followed as to size of lines; fees for Morgan
Tract to hook into line, and whether the Council had prev-
iously decided that the sewer line was to come up Lubicon.
This item was put aside until later in the meeting so that
the records of the September 18, 1961 City Council
Meeting could be listened to.

City Council November 15, 1961
City of Baldwin Park
Gentlemen:
As a project of the Chamber of Commerce, the tree planting
program is being inaugurated. The general plan is to co-
ordinate with merchants in purchasing trees on an individual
basis. The plan basically is to plant Indian Laurel trees
in redwood boxes on the main streets of the City. These
trees are ideal for community planning for they are attrac-
tive, require little maintenance and are extremely hearty.
These trees will be purchased by individual merchants on
a volume basis sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. They
will entail no expense to the City.
We request the City Council to waive all fees and permits
in placing these trees on City sidewalks. Of course,
placement of the trees will be coordinated with the City
so as not to be a traffic hazard or other inconvenience.
This project is designed to beautify the main streets of
Baldwin Park.

Planning Director Mansfield presented Lot Split Case No.
267, a request by Samuel and Thais Ferrero, 3346 North
Vineland Avenue, Baldwin Park. He explained that to
permit a lot split at this location will establish pre-
cedent which may develop into a total of twelve 12)
substandard lots fronting on the proposed extension of
Stichman Avenue; that the Planning Staff had submitted
a plan whereby a street outlet could be maintained and
seven 7) lots established in accordance with the lot
split ordinance; however, the applicants do not concur with
the proposed plan therefore the Planning Commission
recommends denial.
Mrs. Thais Ferrero, applicant, stated that there is no
reason for them to dedicate forty 40) foot of their
lot for a street as there is an entrance on Stichman;
that Stichman could be continued on through rather than
breaking up their property; that the two lots south of
them are subnormal.
Discussion followed as to whether the lots are acceptable
as outlined on the maps the City now has.
