City Attorney Flandrick stated the third item concerned
a request of the Engineering Department that he concurred
with relating to 64-A-I; that Mr. Ivor Lyons had been
repeatedly contacted by the Engineering Department; that
he could not be found at the moment and the problem was
that the assessment diagrams'and asbuilt drawings had not yet
been completed; that the City was still holding approxi-
mately $5,000.00 as a retention on his fees due for services
and the request and the authorization asked for was that
the City Engineer be authorized to cause the assessment
diagrams and asbuilt drawings to be prepared either by his
staff if that is appropriate or by an outside engineering
consultant to be selected by him and the cost to be de-
frayed by the retention.
Councilman McCaron asked if the $5,000.00 retention would
cover the balance asbuilt drawings and assessment diagrams).
City Engineer French stated he had consulted with thb
engineering firm doing the inspection; that their estimate
of the work involved did not indicate"that there was
enough money in retention to guarantee this work; that
the estimates on the asbuilts based upon a rough estimate
on time would be between $4,000.00 and $5,000.00 and
approximately the same on the cost for assessment diagrams.
Councilman McCaron asked if the City would be in a position
to try to reclaim the balance of any deficiency from Mr.
Lyons.

be made.

line be brought up back of their stores; that it would
be quite an expense to bring the sewer line through the
stores to hook up; that it meant almost closing up business
for a week and was not very feasible.
Mr. Chris Kappas, 14142 Calais, Baldwin Park, stated he CHRIS KAPPAS, 14142
was for the change; that he had a piece of property Calais.. B.Pk.
on Pacific that did not even get a sewer line; that
all of his lines were setting within fifty 50) feet of
Pacific; that his store had almost been shut down for
a week now and if the sewer lines had to go through
the store buildings it would shut him down just that
much more.
Mr. Richard Wallingford, 14342 E. Ramona Boulevard, Baldwin RICHARD WALL I NGFORD,

reason that they would have to go over one hundred 100) Ramona Blvd., B.Pk.
feet through the store; that the outlet was already at
the back of the property.
Mr. Sam Sidner, 4342 North Maine, Baldwin Park, stated SAM SIDNER, 4342
he owned two pieces of property on Ramona Boulevard at N. Maine, B.Pk.
14322 and 14324; that he wanted the sewers to go to the
back entrance because the connections would be best
through the back way; that the store would have to be
dug up if the line went through the front; that he
had been thirty-one 31) years in Baldwin Park and he
wanted to see the town grow.
Councilman McCaron asked about the necessary right-of-way
to the rear of the property and if time would allow this
to be done in order that it could be included with the
work being done at the present time.
City Engineer French stated without giving the contractor
an extension of time or having him to agree to an extension
of time eliminated the possibility of getting this included
within the present construction; that at one time the

property owners expressed an opinion that they had a way
of getting easements to serve their property which included
going out to Maine Avenue which put the construction out-
side of the district, which could not be done; that at one
time the property owners had indicated they could not get
the necessary easements to allow the line to go out to
Pacific.
Councilman McCaron asked if it was possible to form a
separate district and how the property owners felt about
a separate district.
Mr. Chris Kappas stated if I was to donate the ground to CHRIS KAPPAS
run to Pacific to get in, which would give all of the rest
of the property owners access, the only thing they would
need would be the sewer running across the back end there.
I have a portion back there that is strictly a pie slice.
We've worked it out and I think with the parking district
going through it will probably consume it anyway."
City Engineer French stated there was still time; that the
project was reaching completion; that in this particular
project the contractor must finance himself; that he had
more or less indicated that he did not want anything that
was going to hold up time; that it took approximately
one hundred twenty I20) days to receive all of the title
reports on the first section of this district; that if
the line went through this area the City would still have
to receive title reports, still have to get easements,
prepare plans, a hearing to go through and the contractor
to agree to the change; that with the legal problems
involved he did not believe this could be included in
the district without delaying the contractor.
In answer to a question by Mayor Crites, City Engineer
French stated if the line went to Pacific and Loray it
would still be in the district.
City Engineer French stated further, that they could form
their own district if they desired; that if they would get
together they could have their own contractor construct
the sewer as a cash contract among themselves; that the
Department would prepare the sewer plans for them if they
desired to accomplish this themselves.
Mr. Virgil Hamilton stated he had talked with all of the VIRGIL HAMILTON
property owners included in this change; that they had
all agreed one hundred percent 100%) to put the sewer in
the back of the stores; that he did not think there was any
problem; that regarding the easement papers he thought he
could get the papers within forty-eight 48) hours; that
there was no problem as far as the property owners were
concerned; that Mr. Kappas agreed to let the line go over
his property to hook on to Pacific; that whichever was
the most feasible and cheapest was what the property
owners wanted; that his landlord Mr. Jessup wanted the
line to go in the back of the store; that if the original
contractor would want to do it or if the property owners
wanted to form their district he was sure it could be
handled within the completion date for the entire City;
that he would be glad to carry any petition or any legal
papers that would be required to be signed by the property
owners.
Councilman McCaron asked if he would be willing to have
a separate district set up in case time became of the
essence in this case.
Mr. Virgil Hamilton stated yes if it did not involve too
much time; that he could not speak for all of the property
owners as to which way they would want to go.

Í«4 Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City council
Councilman Morehead asked in view of the City Engineer's
statements and from the legal aspect of this situation and
from what the property owners had indicated that they
wanted the sewers behind their buildings, was it possible
legally to obtain title reports and the.necessary vouchers
to include them into this current district.
City Attorney Flandrick stated it was possible but, in
his opinion, very unlikely because the contractor was
now under a full head of steam and 14 his complete system
was changed for thisbne line it might delay the entire
district; that it seemed to him the property owners in-
voived'would be much better advised to either set up
a separate district, which would be time consuming, or
the cash contract basis; that one day delay in the
district delayed the entire district, delayed the con-
firmati'on of assessment, delayed the payment to the con-
tractor and thus potentially could increase costs.
Councilman McCaron stated if the front line were deleted
at the present time and they bogged down in reaching an
agreement among themselves coi d the City initiate a
separate district for that particular line.
City Attorney Flandrick stated yes, that a petition could
be given to them to circu!ate to property owners for the
formation of a second di;t~ict; that M('. French could give
them a pretty accur.ite c st estimate of construction so that
they could consider i; in terms of a cash contract which
would be much faster.
Mr. Merwi n Heth stated when the letter was ci rcu aced
asking to withdraw and be put on an a,.reage basis, the sales
pitch to get the letters signed was if they could get
their own contractor and have him come up to the back of
the stores and hook up at the same time this would be
cheaper.

City Engineer French stated this would come under the

case it would have to be ruled that sewers were not
available and this would allow them to put in a cesspool.
Councilman Morehead asked if the changes were approved

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
City Clerk Balkus announced that it was the time and place
fixed for a public hearing on a proposed Vacation of a
portion of Badillo Street.
City Clerk Balkus stated that proper publication, postings
and mailings had been accomplished.
City Attorney Flandrick stated that the purpose of the
hearing was to determine whether this particular portion
of Badillo Street was necessary for present or prospective
street purposes; that the staff had recommended the con-
sideration by the Council of the vacation of this area of
Badillo,
TESTIMONY IN BEHALF OF THE PROPOSED VACATION WAS CALLED
FOR BY MAYOR CRITES.
Mr. Sam Zimmerman, owner of property adjacent to a portion
of this area in which the vacation was requested, stated
the portion of the old Pacific Electric right-of-way which
was purchased by the County some time ago for the improve-
ment of Badillo Street through the area was the source of
this land; that the realignment of Badillo Street was such
that there was approximately a fifty 50) foot area that
runs the distance of the property that he owned a distance
of approximately four hundred 400) feet; that they were
attempting to improve that property and would like this
area in front vacated so that it could be improved; that
he had a title report from Security Title Company and
even though the City of Baldwin Park vacated this parcel
it then went back to Los Angeles County inasmuch as the
title was vested in them for that area; that there had
been some discussion with the County; that the background
was that there was about six months to one year's negotia-
tion with the County after the City stepped aside; that
they would be glad to file the title report in case there
was any questions concerning the property.
City Attorney Flandrick commented that the staff recommenda-
tion was that this be vacated for the reason that it was not
needed for either future or prospective street purposes
due to the realignment of Badillo Street.
As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak
either in behalf of or in opposition to the proposed
vacation, Mayor Crites declared the public hearing closed.
City Attorney Flandrick read Resolution No. 65-76 by title

as this was. He called on Mr. McDonald, Engineer of the
Project, stating Mr. McDonald was a graduate of Cal Tech,
and had been a Licensed Civil Engineer in California since
1949.
I
Mr. Matthew McDonald, 215 West Las Tunas, San Gabriel, MATTHEW MCDONALD,
stated he had had his own practice for fifteen years 215 W. Las Tunas,
and secured permits for probably over 1,000 buildings S. Gab.
of this general nature; that occasionally they did run
into these problems; that they tried to look at it in
such a way as to follow the intent of the Code which was
there to protect everybody, present owners, tenants
and future owners; that they were not trying to dodge the
problem they were trying to come up with a solution; that
fire zones of cities came in three varieties, 1, 2 and
3;-that No. I was usually the downtown more hazardous
conjested areas, No. 3 were the outlying areas that were
residential and Fire Zone No. 2 were the areas in between
where conjestion started to build up so the Building Code
was written to have more restrictions in Fire Zones I
and 2 than in No. 3; that these things which had been
brought out were very clearly stated in the Code; that on
the plot plan was shown six large buildings stsbdividtd into
smaller ones in each case bringing them under the 2500
foot area; that they could scatter the whole parcel with
2500 foot buildings as long as they were twenty 20) feet
apart and they would be perfectly legal under Mr. Kalblfeisch's
interpretation; that to scatter little buildings on a
valuable piece of ground was not the way one would want to
develop; that industrial buildings brought in revenue whereas
houses would cost the City money because houses did not pay
their own way in sending children to school; that instead
of having many small buildings to meet the Code they were
proposing these buildings to be built as one unit subdivided
with fire separation walls; that they thought their Interpre-
tation was quite logical; that Mr. Kalbfleisch had a letter
from the Fire Prevention Bureau of the County and also an
interpretation from the International Conference of Building
Officials whom he had also talked with; that the City of
Baldwin Park was now operated under the 1961 Uniform Building
Cede; that there was a 1964 Uniform Building Code that had
been adopted and passed by the International Conference of
Building Officials and adopted by many other cities and in it
there was no such restriction that was now having to be
imposed on them; that they could build the building in Fire
Zone No. 2 under the 1964 Code, Type 4 Building, F-2 Occupancy,
without the 2500 square foot limitation; that the ICBO had
seen fit to upgrade their Code to not have the problem that
they were faced with; that this section was written actually
to permit a steel gas station to be built on property in
Fire Zone No. I and 2; that to go to the comments made in
the letter by the Fire Prevention Bureau about the spreading
of fire in limiting the size of the buildings; that if
several 2500 foot buildings were located twenty 20) feet
apart, which was what had been asked of them, he thought
there would be far more hazard for exposure by having
space between buildings where junk, trash, automobiles
and even outside work could be done adjacent to a metal
wall; that in the contract it would be proposed where the
structure was fifty 50) feet long and one hundred twenty
120) feet long separated into sections not over 2500 feet
with a fire wall between; that that fire wall served as
a definite fire barrier between occupancies whereas
twenty 20) foot of space not necessarily would provide
the same kind of insurance to exposure of a fire from
either inside or outside of one of these occupied areas;
that he Would like to close his remarks by saying that
the 1964 Code which the City would probably adopt in
the near future would not call for restrictions that they
were forced to listen to and that he thought that that
they had solved the intent of the ordinance. He read
Section 2103a of Chapter 21 of the 1964 Uniform Building
Code. exception-#2)

Mr. Jack Smith stated for a matter of record that he was
not here for the State Fire Marshal,; that he wq*,here as
a citizen for Mr. Zimmerman and Mr. Doipney;. that most of
the points had been taken care of; that he would like to
take exception to a paragraph from Mr. Dutton's letter;
that he should rephrase that, that he did not want to't,ake
exception to it he agreed with it entirely but the letter
itself did not completely cover the;subJect; that in the
second paragraph of Mr. Dutton's letter of May 5, 1965,
it was his opinion that the regulation specifically limits
the size of unprotected Type IV buildings to 2500 square
feet; that they did not argue this point whatsoever;
that the point they argue was done every day in every
city in the State of California and in all states where
the Uniform Building Code was used was the manner of
separation of area which came under every type of building
except one which was Type I construction which had no
limitation; that in other words unless a Type I building
was built the area was Limited depending upon the occupancy
that was put in the building; that their contention was
that in reading the Section, Separation of Areas,. the
very first sentence in the paragraph For the purpose of
this Section each portion of the building separated by
one or more continuous fire resistive walls extending
from the foundation to the roof at all points may be
considered as a separate building"; that their contention
was that there was separate buildings within this complex
each one having 2500 square feet or less thereby complying
in full with the intent of the regulation; that this
was not pointed out in Mr. Dutton's letter; that the
area separation wall was done every day in buildings
throughout the State particularly in school occupancies.
Mr. Zinmerman asked Mr. Smith if it was his position,that
the one hour wall was not required by the layout on the
plot plan.
Mr. Smith stated that was right; that with the plot shown
the buildings would be exempt from the one hour require-
ment because of the setbacks that have been provided.
Mr. Zimmerman asked Mr. Smith if, in his opinion, were
the buildings as they~were designed legal and proper
under the 1961 Uniform Building Code.
Mr. Smith stated for the occupancy as stipulated he
would say yes that it met the intent of the 1961
Uniform Building Code with the separation wails provided.
Councilman Morehead stated as a point of order he did not-
think the Council should let these people conduct the
meeting in this fashion and demanded proper protocol.
Mr. Zimmerman stated he certainly apologized if he
usurped any authority; that he understood the question
was were there any questions to be asked of Mr. Smith;
that if he had misinterpreted or if it was the protocol
here that he then secure permission he certainly would
do so; that he hoped that they had not usurped any
authority of arty:-kind;that their only intent was to present
to the Council their side of the question involved.
Councilman McCaron asked if there was anything in the
Code that would allow a separation wall to start with.
Mr. Smith stated yes that the Code did permit a separation
wall, in fact it required a separation wall when you
get to a point of over area for the type of construction
and the occupancy involved; that Section 505c of the
Uniform Building..Code entitled Separation of Areas sets
forth the type of separation you must have for the type
of construction, the permissible opening protection and
the amount of openings you must have in such separation
wall. Continued)

Councilman McCaron asked whaf fire resistive.lrequirement
was put on a separation wall. May 5,
Page 15 1965
I
Mr. Smith stated in the case of,Type IV and V would be
two hour fire resistive construction as a separation
wall; that when you get into better type construction I,
11 and I I I which were concrete and steel then you have
a four hour area separation wall.
Councilman McCaron asked what type. of wall was a two hour
separation wall.
Mr. Smith stated there were some two hundred ways of making
a two hour separation wall.
Councilman McCaron asked what type of wall was intended to
be put in.
Mr. Smith stated to Stay with Typo 1V construction it would be an
incombustible, steel studs with one inch of neat wood fibre
gypsum on each side of the studs.
Building Superintendent Kalbf.leisch stated he believed when
Mr. McDonald read Section 2103 of the 1964 Uniform Build-
ing Code he omitted Section I which he then read); that
he would also like to refer to Page 3 of his drawing on the
board; that on Page 3 there was a proposal for one fire wall
only two hour); that the.building was approximately 7200
square feet; that the balance of. the area states for future
fire wall partitions that he did not believe there was any
intent to divide them in 2500 square feet at all; that
then they would come later on to the City,-Council and request
use of the building under an occupancy more than the 2500
square feet.
Mr. Downey came up to the plot plan and stated this was
the typical unit only; that everything was made in
typical; that it would be impossible to put people in the
buildings if they were illegal because a Certificate of
Occupancy was required.
Councilman McCaron asked Mr. Kalbfleisch if the presentation
submitted still met with his interpretation of the.Code.
Building Superintendent Kabtfleisch stated even under the
1964 Uniform Building Code he could not interpret it
the way it was being requested; that even the Conference
itself would not interpret it this way; that we"
interpret this Code as requiring a complete ten 10)
foot separation, open area, between the property line or
assimilated property line and the 2500 square feet
in area; that the separation wall stated future and he
could not give a final on any of the buildings until
such time as this was completed; that it would require
one hour exterior walls on the building because the
building was more than 2500 square feet in area; that
the building itself was the whole building; that there
was no such thing as partial buildings with separation
walls; that this was for area separation only; that it
specifically stated at the heading of the section, area
separation only.
Mr. Zimmerman stated Mr. Kalbffeisch had not changed his
position from the time he had originally sopken to
him; that in talking to his structural engineer he
had told him that this was not the right interpretation;
that he had gone to the person he thought would be the
person throughout the State that would be the best
authority on this; that he was recommended to him-by
several engineers; that he was actually recommended to
him by the Chief Engineer of the State Engineering
Department of the Division of Architecture in the Sacra-

recommendation about Mr. Smith down to Mr. Harter who was
in charge of the Los Angeles Office of the Engineering
Department of the State Division of Architecture; that they
had brought this man here tonight at considerable expense,
for the purpose of interpreting this Code; that he hoped
that the Council would consider his opin-ion; that he
thought this was one of the best experts they could get
and bring him here; that they had available a representative
of the steel building people who if the Council would care
to have any of the materials described would be very glad
to describe' them; that he thought it was also his turn
to feel a little resentment; that he held a general
contractor9s license and knew a little about plans;
that it was standard procedure to put typical detail
on your plans; that it was not standard procedure on plans
to fill in every single one of such walls on your drawings;
that it was a standard rule of drafting that you put a
detail only once on the.plans; and.that to have an effort
made here to say that these plans were misleading and not
standard was, he thought, almost a breach of good faith;
that he certainly felt that this was not what they had tried
to present here tonight; that they had brought qualified
men, engineers; that they had brought the man who had the
greatest responsibility of any single man in the State of
California, Mr. Smith, who has the responsibility of passing
on the fire problems of every single school in this State;
and if to have somebody who-.would attempt to mislead and
deviate from what was standard practice plans, may we say
not to consider this; that it had been misrepresented to
you" he thought, and it did not show very much depth.
Councilman McCaron asked Mr. Zimmerman if he understood
what Mr. Kalbfleisch had explained as the last portion of
his explanation. He stated Mr. Kalbfleisch was speaking
of area separation rather than wall separation within the
building.
Mr. Zimmerman stated his understanding as we had come
around was that we had come around the full circle; that
Mr. Kalbifeisch's contention was that if these buildings
were over 2500 square foot they would require one hour
fire wall on each of the four walls; that secondly to
have a fire wail a two hour wall) separating portions
of the building did not under the Code, make these in
effect three separate buildings under one roof; that
this, of course, was in direct contradiction to Mr.
Smith's testimony.

Mrs. Gladys Dargus, 13260 East Francisquito, Baldwin Park, MRS. GLADYS DARGUS,
stated that Item No. 4 beautification lease negotiation 13260 E. Francisquito-.
Ramona Blvd.) under the City Engineer had not been completed B.Pk.
prior to the public hearings.

Mayor Crites stated this discussion would be continued
and asked Mrs. Marianne Johnson if she cared to resume
the floor.
Mrs. Marianne Johnson, 3825 North Foster, Baldwin Park, MRS. MARIANNE JOHN-
stated she had negotiated with the Pacific Electric SON, 3825 N, Foster,
for a beautification lease and if she could help the B.Pk.
Council on their problem at this time she would be happy
to do so; that she had understood from Mr. Lewis that it
was very unusual for the Pacific Electric to retract
a large beautification lease all at once; that she be-
lieved the City had done a very fine job in keeping the
right-of-way clean.
Mrs. Gladys Dargus, 13260 East Francisquito, Baldwin Park, MRS. GLADYS DARGUS
asked what about from Harlan to the bridge and asked if
the City could not negotiate with Irwindale.
Councilwoman Gregory stated that the sewers were delaying
1875 feet of beautification from the westerly City limits.
City Engineer French stated with the widening of the street
this area would be cleaned up but that he could not make
beautification improvement any better than the City had
on the other sections.
Councilman McCaron stated in view of Pacific Electric's
position on the matter that the only thing the City could
possibly do would be some type of planting that would not
be too expensive but would still enhance the area; that
it would appear that possibly some time in the future the
right-of-way would be taken up by the Rapid Transit if
that went through.
Councilman Morehead commented that a beautification plan
could be submitted to Pacific Electric at such time as the
widening of Ramona Boulevard was completed.
Councilwoman Gregory commented further on the beautifica-
tion lease as discussed at the December 18, 1963, Council
Meeting, wherein City Engineer French stated that the
present-program of this particular area 25 x 1875. from
Francisquito westerly) probably would not be any more
positive than the program being presently undertaken
including the planting of excess street trees and bushes
as they became available.
Councilwoman Gregory stated she believed that the City
should have some beautification program from La Rica
to Pacific on Ramona Boulevard starting from the middle
of town doing a little bit at a time; that she believed
it should be a major operation at least in the center
of the City. She asked if there would be curbs along
Ramona Boulevard.
City Engineer French stated there would be asphalt curbs
on the right of way side and concrete curbs on the property
side; that this was the way the plans had been approved by
the State Division of Highways; that he assumed asphalt
curbs were approved because this was a slope easement and
was being constructed on the railroad right--of-way.
Mayor Crites suggested that the avenues of communication
be kept open and the planning going.

Mr. James Q. Gibson, 13268 East Francisquito, Baldwin Park, JAMES Q. GIBSON,
stated the Council, four years ago, had denied an applica- 13268 E. Francisquit:.
tion for a gas station at the corner of Francisquito and B.Pk.
Baldwin Park Boulevard; that at that time Councilman Cole
voted against it and stated he thought the City had enough
if not too many gas stations; that since
that time four gas stations had been approved on that corner
and many other gas stations go up in every area of the City;
that applicants had shown renderings of proposed development
in conjunction with the gas station which had never been
realized; that, in his opinion, it was high time that the
Council gave far more attention to granting zone changes
without any precise planning.
Mayor Crites stated this corner was already zoned for a
gas station.
Mr. Gibson asked if this ordinance was giving an additional
zoning of one hundred 100) feet plus so that there would
be adequate room for a gas station.
Planning Director Chivetta stated that a service station
could be constructed at the southwesterly corner of
Foster and Ramona with the present C-2 zoning with a
conditional use permit which the applicant had applied
for and would come up before the Board of Zoning Adjust-
ments on May 12, 1965.
Mr. Letcher Bishop, 3918 N. Harlan, Baldwin Park, stated
he wanted to ask a question concerning the vote; that he
wanted to know why the Mayor changed his mind to vote
without new evidence being presented to the Council; that
there had been no new evidence.to'his knowledge unless a
secret meeting had been called; that he was not saying
there had been, and some negotiation which, in his
opinion, we" were entitled to know all about.
Mayor Crites stated that there had not been any secret
meetings.
Mr. Bishop asked why the sudden change without any new
evidence.

Mayor Crites stated the longer it had gone the longer
he had thought about the situation the way it was and
the way he voted the first time and the more he was
of the opinion that there was nothing supersanctus about
business on one side of an intersection than on the
other.
Mr. Bishop asked if he had taken under consideration the
Master Plan; that this was all proposed R-3 on the Master

Í«2346 Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
City Attorney Flandrick stated if the Council so-desired
that the question which had arisen in conjunction With the
requested issuance of a building permit could be considered
at this time; that Building Superintendent Kalbfleisch had"
ruled against the contention of the applicant; the applicant,
Mr. Sam Zimmerman, was here this evening'; that the request
was that the City Council consider this as the Board of
Appeals under the Building Code to determine the correct
interpretation of the Building Code; that perhaps Mr.
Kalbfleisch coul-,d outline the problem and Mr. Sam Zimmerman
could reply; that the Council had copies of a letter sub-
mitted by the Los Angeles County Fire Protection District
by the Fire Marshal which also bears on the question as
well-as Mr. Kalbfleisch's staff report. Also a copy of
Mr. Zimmermmants letter).
As there were no objections, Mayor Crites asked Building
Superintendent Kalbfleisch to proceed.
Building Superintendent Kalbfleisch read and reviewed his
report and read in full a letter dated May 5, 1965, from
Mr. Leslie A. Dutton, Fire Marshal, under signature of K.
E. Klinger, Chief Engineer, Los Angeles County Fire Depart-
ment, of which the last paragraph stated We concur in your
interpretation of this section Section 1603 a) Exception
of the 1961 edition of the Uniform Building Code) of the
Uniform Building Code and appreciate the opportunity to
offer and opinion.".
City Attorney Flandrick stated that Mr. Zimmerman was given
a copy of the letter dated May 5, 1965, from the Los
Angeles County Fire Department as read by Mr. Kalbfleisch.
Building Superintendent Kal_bfleisch placed a plot plan of
the proposed building on the wall.
Mr. Sam Zimmerman, Santa Barbara, stated the buildings
proposed were in the same area previously talked about
Vacation Portion of Badillo Street) and the buildings
were proper as far as zoning was concerned; that the
question involved was the construction of the building;
that he wanted to excuse himself some what from this
discussion and turn his portion of this over to Mr.
Downey; that Mr.,.Downey and he were co-owners of the
Coral Construction Corporation and Coral was going to
build these buildings); that he was much more qualified
to handle this portion of the presentation than he was;
that he had brought with him a structural engineer, also
a representative of the steel building people; that
also here this evening was Mr. Jack E. Smith who was
in charge of the State Fire Marshal's office and passed
on all school buildings within the State of California
as far as the question of fire was concerned and that
was the principal issue. He asked Mr. Downey to come up.
Mr. Tom Downey stated the codes that Mr. Kalbfleisch
was reading were quite difficult to talk about in words
to somebody that was not familiar with them; that there
were six buildings under one roof and actually there
were more than 2500 feet in each building; that to qualify-
these buildings to work on this plot they had gone to
Section 1603, the exception, which allowed them to bring
this into three 3) buildings and described how this was
to be done by putting in two hour walls they would actually
take a building that they put three wells in and make
three buildings out of it for the purposes of the Code;
that Mr. Kalbfleisch also talked about the outside walls
and the ten IQ1 foot setback; that these walls were
incombustible walls, steel walls; they were not one hour
walls as Mr. Kalbfleisch would like to have; that under
the same Section, 1603, the Code pointed out that if there
was a ten 101 foot area, clear area surrounding the build-
ing, then they were allowed an unprotected building such
