letter in the Agenda folders from Malcolm Lincoln requesting
to speak under Oral Communications regarding extension of
Loma Lane to Earl Avenue.
Planning Director Chivetta stated the Council had in their
Agenda folders Planning Commission Resolution No. PC 65-30
and related matters.
Mr. Malcolm Lincoln 3924 Center Street, Baldwin Park,
passed out copies of an enlarged map of the section.
He stated that the topic was regarding the extension of
Loma Lane through Mrs. Champion's property in line with
general circulation system; that if the Council agreed
to the extension Mrs. Champion would be involved with
some financial difficulty; that the red section outlined
indicated the Champion property at the present time;
that there would be sufficient area for three lots at
the present time but not if Loma Lane was extended on
through; that the extension of Loma Lane would take
approximately one-third 1/3) of her property; that
there were some alternatives: one that the City Council
turn down the recommendation of the Planning Commission
and cause a deadend to exist at I.'rs. Champion's property;
that this would be the most beneficial to her but might
not be to the City; that the second alternative, probably
the worst possibility for Mrs. Champion, was to have the

City extend the street through and demand that she, in
line with general practice, make the dedication and pay
for all of the improvements including sidewalks on both
sides; that these were the extreme alternates perhaps with
some adjustments in between.
Councilman McCaron asked if Mrs. Champion intended to
lot split this property.
Mr. Lincoln stated Mrs. Champion would like to do this
eventually; that her present plan was to sell the property
if she could and get the best price she could; that if she
sold. the property as it was there would still be the problem
for any developer.
Discussion followed that there were no improvements on the
lot needed for the extension of Loma Lane other the-;n a
tool shed.
Mr. Lincoln stated that Areo Construction had built new
houses right up to her property on the northwest sice;
that Loma Lane was now complete with sidewalks and f-us
up to Mrs. Champion's property; that cars were tr:;„eling
over her property from Loma Lane to Earl at the pr:~~.ent
time; that Mrs.Champlon'S son had put up a barricade but
it had been torn down; that on the surface this amount of
dedication and improvements seemed to be unfair to demand
of one piece of property.
Mayor Crites stated to his knowledge there was no demand
for street dedication and improvements until application
was made for a lot split or improvements of a certain type.
Mr. Lincoln stated if Mrs. Champion made application for
a lot split into three 3) lots) it would probably be
denied; that their original request was for the Planning
Commission to make some alleviation and make a deadend
there; that perhaps a long time ago Corak Street should
have been pushed on through to Frazier; that Mrs.
Champion was never informed about this kind of action
taking place. subdivision that indicated Loma Lane) He
asked if the Council could deliberate more or if the
Council had to take action on Resolution No. PC 65-30
at this time.
Councilman McCaron stated it did not appear that any
action had to be taken at the present time; that the
City should have some set program set up for handling
this type of problem in future development; that he
would like to have the Planning Director look into the
lot split that faced Earl and see what the pending
obligations were on that lot split, if any; and also
on the subdivision on Corak Street and see what their
their obligation was. He stated it appeared at the
present time the street was designed to go through
for circulation of traffic; that he did not know how
it was in the other direction; that this should be set
aside until further information was obtained.
Planning Director Chivetta stated he had made a complete
study of the problem; that in order for the street to
go through in the southwesterly direction the property
owner would have to dedicate a piece of land 50 x 450;
that the properties along Corak, Earl and Cedar Circle
were one subdivision; that the improvements and street
dedication were made; that the properties between Loma
Lane and Frazier, eight parcels, had been recently
divided by two lot splits; that he had discussed the
matter at length with Mrs. Champion and Mr. Lincoln;
that there was no way three lots could be obtained short
of redesigning the entire area;; that the problem was
created by previous subdivisions; that at that particular

time property owners within a three hundred 300) foot
radius were not notified of proposed subdivisions therefore
Mrs. Champion was not aware of a circulation element that
might affect her property; that at the present time every-
one within a three hundred 300) foot radius of a sub-
division was notified and could voice their opinion for or
against; that this was a situation that was inequitable; that
the Planning Commission had studied the problem and made
their determination. He read Section 3 of Resolution No.
PC 65-30 stating what was suggested was that if Nir:s.
Champion was willing to dedicate the street and pier; up
one-half of the cost maybe the City could go along ind
pick up the other one-half of the improvements, hotaever
this was up to the legislative body and not up to the

As there were no objections, Mayor Crites directed at
this matter be held over for study and a definite r-cgm-

Regarding the Annexation No. 16) and Detachment between
the City of Baldwin Park and the City of Irwindale, City
Clerk Balkus stated that the Boundary Commission had
approved the maps as presented; that they had been for-
warded to the Local Agency Formation Commission but had
been returned with the request that they be filed after
September 17, 1965.
Councilwoman Gregory stated after much reconsideration
she was of the opinion that the previous action taken by
the Council should be rescinded; that she did not think
the full value of the land had been considered in connec-
tion with the future San Gabriel Freeway and the fact that
this was the only ingress and egress at that point into
Baldwin Park; that all the City would be doing in
connection with Los Angeles Street and Olive Street
would be assuming the maintenance of these streets and
acquiring no land.

creating a locally controlled lighting district. He also
reviewed a letter from the Southern California Edison
Company dated September 13, 1965 regarding the formation
of a municipal lighting district by the City of Baldwin
Park. He also reviewed the present tax rates in the two
existing County districts.
He stated It was the staff recommendation that the City with-'
draw from the two lighting districts creating one that was
locally controlled; that the tax rate would be equalized;
that the overhead would be reduced; that the tax rate had
already been established by the County for the fiscal year
1965-66; that the new lighting district would not be effective
until July 1, 1966; that it was hoped to include the re-
mainder of the City in the lighting district so that they
too could have lights; that the staff was now in the process
of studying the number of lights that would be needed in the
unlighted portion of the City; that Edison and the City's
Engineering staff was now in the process of making a study
on the cost of installing lights In the unlighted portion
of the City; that it was his recommendation that the City
Council hold 89601064ofauN6on65-143 and 65-144 over end adjourn
to September 29, 1965, and meanwhile the staff would pre-
pare for the City Council information on future costs.
Mrs. Marianne Johnson, 3825 North Foster, Baldwin Park,
stated the lighting districts were formed by the people
themselves and they paid for the installation of the
poles. She asked how the cost of the installation of the
poles would be paid for in the unlighted portion of the
City.
Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated if the lights
were installed on existing poles there was no cost to the
property owners; that the tax rate levied would only be
for maintenance and energizing; that where there were
no poles the property owners involved in that particular
area would pay for the installation of the poles at the
cost of approximately $125.00 per pole; that installation
cost would be the same.
As there were no objections, Mayor Crites stated this
matter would be held over.

It would be wise to build apartments because of the vacancy
factor; that a carpet company would be a wise investment
not just for themselves but for the City and community;
that it was not a small scale operation; that there would

Mr. William Crisp, 3432 Sparling Street, Baldwin Park, stated WM CRISP, 3432
he had been the record owner since July 30, 1964; that he was Sparling St., B.Pk.
not notified of this hearing; that there was a letter that
came to the house addressed to the prior owner; that he
was against having a factory or any type of manufacturing
across the fence from him; that his property would abut
the subject property.
City Clerk Backus stated the property owners list was
furnished by the applicant taken from the latest Assessment
Rolls.
At the request of Mayor Crites, Planning Director Chivetta
explained that manufacturing was not allowed in the
commercial zone; that carpet sales would be a proper use
in the C-2 zone.
Mrs. Marianne Johnson, 3825 North Foster, Baldwin Park, MRS. MARIANNE JOHNSON'
stated she could not say whether she was for or against 3825 N. Foster, B.Pk.
this zone change but she was asking the Council to consider
whether or not this would be spot zoning; that she wondered
if it was considered that Baldwin Park Boulevard would go
all commercial and from what area to what area, and was this
being done because the City was in desperate need for
commercial or was the overall plan for the City being
considered.
Mr. James Q. Gibson, asked if the zone change was granted JAMES Q. GIBSON
would it be possible under the C-2 zoning to use this
property for a rug cleaning plant. He stated personally
he did not think it was good planning to put C-2 zoning
in a good residential district with a potential of becom-
ing a much better residential district; that he had checked
on the location of some rug cleaning establishments and rug
sales and almost all of them were not located in residential
districts.
Planning Director Chivetta stated the first zone where
rug cleaning plants were permitted would be in the
commercial-manufacturing zone; that they would not
be permitted in the C-2 zone; that the only C-M zone
in the community was on Azusa Canyon Road.

Mr. Alvarez, 3423 Sparling, Baldwin Park, stated his MR. ALVAREZ,
property was behind the Mamone's property; that he 3423 Sparling, B.Pk.
thoroughly opposed the change of zone; that R-3 was
bad enough because the highrise or even low level apart-
ments in the area would change the classification; that
with the school going in he was sure there would be more
homes coming into that area; that It was an area that was
building now; that a lot of the older homes were being

industry of any sort moving into this area.
Mr. Edwin Elko asked if used car lots were permitted EDWIN ELKO
in the C-2 zone.
Planning Director Chivetta stated that used car sales
was permissible in the C-2 zone.
Mr. Elko asked if it would be possible to approve the
C-2 zoning but put an exclusion of used car sales.
City Attorney Flandrick stated no it would not be
possible; that any C-2 use would be permitted as set
forth in the Code; that the fact that the applicants
had indicated they intend at this time to put in a
carpet establishment was not really relevant to this
case; that the question was shall it be zoned C-2.
IN REBUTTAL Mrs. Frank Mamone stated it was not their REBUTTAL
intention to put in a used car lot; that they did not
apply to have all of their property zoned for commercial
use; that they only applied for 32G.68 foot which was
the frontage on Baldwin Park Boulevard; that there was
more than one-half acre between this property and say
for instance the Alvarez home; that she hoped the Council
would keep in mind that they had the property just
sitting idle; that there was one and one-half acres
of property involved; that there were at least Ywo
acres adjoining their property which was involh,,i:d in
this zone change; that this was another way of Jetting
rid of the chickens; that the carpet company would not
take up all of the property involved; that it would be
a professional type building with other professions
in it; that there was also professional buildings on
Merced and Baldwin Park Boulevard and there was C-2
zoning down on Francisquito; that they were right in
the middle of C-2 zoning and she understood that the man
on the other side of Foster had applied for commercial
zoning.
As there was no one else in the audience desiring to PUBLIC HEARING
speak in behalf of or in opposition to Z-274, Mayor DECLARED CLOSED
Crites declared the public hearing closed. Z-274
Councilman McCaron asked what the staff recommendation
was at the time the matter came up before the
Planning Commission.
Planning Director Chivetta stated the staff recommendation
was for denial; that it was based on the findings that
the proposed reclassification would not be compatible
with the surrounding area and would create spot zoning.

Councilman McCaron asked what the Master Plan called for
in this area.
I
Planning Director Chivetta stated the General Plan depicted
low density single family residential for the future land
use in the area.
Councilwoman Gregory stated at that time the street had
not been widened although she thought it had been in
the process for twenty-five 25) years; that all of the
people in the area she had talked with from one end of
Baldwin Park Boulevard to the other all wished R-3 or
commercial zoning. She questioned the exact area to be
rezoned as set forth on the map.
Planning Director Chivetta stated there were three parcels
involved; that Mrs. Gair owned the two parcels fronting on
Foster; that the Mamone's owned the parcel fronting on
Baldwin Park Boulevard; that the shaded area on the map
that stated R-3" and chickens" was the area being
considered for reclassification.
Councilwoman Gregory asked if this was one-half acre.
September 15, 19

As there were no objections, Mayor Crites declared the PUBLIC HEARING
public hearing on Z-274 reopened. REOPENED Z-274
Mrs. Frank Mamone stated the one-half acre would be the
remaining R-3 where they lived; that the commercial
property would be the acre on Baldwin Park Boulevard and
extend over to the corner which was about two acres; that
there was still R-3 property behind the commercial zoning
and R-3 property on the side which was Mr. Elko's and so
it was not low density actually.
Mayor Crites commented that that would be an interior
lot and asked about access stating that no interior lot
could be created under the present zoning regulations.
Mrs. Mamone stated they would not want to split it; that
they wanted to live there.
Councilman McCaron asked if there had been a study made
to determine whether additional C-2 zone was needed on
Baldwin Park Boulevard at the present time.
Planning Director Chivetta stated there had not been;
that the Planning Commission had made a statement that
because of the width of Baldwin Park Boulevard that
possibly the area would be best suited for commercial or
multiple. development instead of residential.
Councilman McCaron stated it would appear at the present
time that the rezoning of the property was premature;
that there was sufficient land already zoned on Baldwin
Park Boulevard in the vicinity of Francisquito and
Baldwin Park Boulevard none of which had been developed
except the four corners with service stations; that there
was sufficient commercial zoning there to take care of
a population increase of Baldwin Park for possibly the
next ten 10) or fifteen 15) years; that to think of
rezoning the entire length of Baldwin Park Boulevard to
commercial zoning was nothing more than strip zoning;
that it did not enhance or increase the value of the property
adjacent; that the property was mostly R-I except for
the recent R-3 that was allowed; that he thought the
request should be denied.
As there was no one else in the audience desiring to PUBLIC HEARING
speak in behalf of or in opposition to Z-274, Mayor AGAIN DECLARED

As there were no objections, Mayor Crites reopened the PUBLIC HEARING
public hearing on Z-274 as Mr. Elko indicated he had REOPENED Z-274
further testimony to give.
Mr. Edwin Elko stated he was in accord to some extent
with Councilman McCaron except that it should remain
residential and primarily residential one; that R-3
by itself with no commercial to service and support
it was also poor thinking; that he would like to see
a good balance of good commercial and R-3; that if
there was R-3 and no businesses that was not good either.
Councilman McCaron stated there was commercial zoning
on the northwest corner of Baldwin Park Boulevard and
Francisquito; that there was sufficient commercial
zoning in proximity to this area to service this area
for commercial; that if the population increased
so that there was a demand for this property to become
commercial in the future it should then be reconsidered.
Mrs. Frank Mamone asked Councilman McCaron
he accounted for the commercial zoning on Merced and
Baldwin Park Boulevard, and the professional buildings
rented out in such a short time since commercial zoning
was granted.
Councilman McCaron stated that was already commercial;
that it had been granted years in the past.
Mrs. Mamone stated the point that she was trying to get
across was that everyone on Baldwin Park Boulevard
noticed the speed with which these professiona! build-
ings were rented out; that she was hoping the same thing
would happen with them.
MRS. FRANK MAMONE
As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak PUBLIC HEARING

declared the public hearing closed. CLOSED Z-274
COUNCILMAN MCCARON MOVED THAT Z-274 BE DENIED. MOTION MADE
Councilwoman Gregory stated she was wondering if a
denial might be a little stringent and suggested send-
ing this back to the Planning Commission. She stated
she was not too pleased with the complete planning;
that perhaps another zoning could be investig.Yc d such
as C-1 or C-P.
Councilman McCaron stated he felt that wherever there was
an intrusion on a zoning that if an application is to be
made it should be done under a zone variance, so that
conditions could be set upon the development as necessary.
Councilwoman Gregory asked City Attorney Flandrick If this
zone change application could be granted C-1 or C-P.
City Attorney Flandrick stated yes; that the notice was
given as C-2 or more restrictive zone so the Council
had the option of considering C-I or C-P; that in any
of these cases it would have to go back to the Planning
Commission for a report.
Councilwoman Gregory stated she would suggest sending this
case back to the Planning Commission for further study.
Councilman McCaron asked if this application could be
changed to a zone variance wherein City Attorney Flandrick
stated, no.
Councilwoman Gregory stated she believed the frontage of
Baldwin Park Boulevard would go to commercial zoning in
time.

place fixed for a public hearing on R-145, an appeal
from denial of the Planning Commission, an application
submitted by Z. Ciesiolkiewicz for relocation of a
single family residence and detached garage with guest
house from 38 Haven Street, Arcadia, to 3860 Bogart
Avenue, Baldwin Park.
City Clerk Balkus stated that proper publication, postings,
and mailings had been accomplished.
Planning Director Chivetta presented a resume of the case
and stated that the Planning Commission had adopted Resolu-
tion No. PC 65-32 on August 25, 1965, denying the request.
He pointed out the map on the wall. He stated that the
staff recommendation was that the City Council concur with
PC 65-32.

Mr. Frederick W. Stearns stated his residence was in
Beverly Hills but he also had a residence in Monterey

apparently in time. He also showed photographs and

City Attorney Flandrick stated there was a lot split
application on file but the lot split had not been
approved by the Engineering Department so at this time
any action would have to be deferred until the lot split
had been completed.
Mr. Stearns stated he understood that all matters had
been cleared with the City Engineer's Office; that they

saw fit to approve the relocation permit that action be
deferred until the applicant had complied with the require-
ments of the Engineering Department concerning the lot split,
and possibly if the Council was going to consider it the
plot plan could be included as an exhibit. and require
compliance with it; that In addition if it were to be
approved he would assume that Building Superintendent
Kalbfleisch would recommend the amount of the bond to
insure that any damage done to any public facility by
the actual relocation of the structure itself would be
guaranteed by way of payment, and also the guarantee
that the structures.would comply In all respects with the
Building, Electrical and all other Uniform Codes.

Mr. Stearns stated that Mr. Ciesiolklewicz did not want
to pay the monies for effecting the putting in of the
curbs, sidewalks, gutters and trees if he was not going
to be permitted to go ahead and make the relocation; that
an extension had been granted from the Department of
Highways on removing the buildings; that he had obtained
the route from the City Engineer's office and everything
was in motion; that the Council's agreement today would
allow them to complete every facet of the City's require-
ments.

Mr. Sam Camarella, 3941 Harlan, Baldwin Park, stated he SAM CAMARELLA, 3941
was the selling salesman in this lot; that his owners Harlan, B.Pk.
would not pay for the curb and gutter unless they were
sure they would be able to sell the lot so that he could
relocate the house on it; that the building would be an
improvement to Bogart Street.
Mr. Stearns stated there was an agreement between the owners
and Mr. Ciesiolkiewicz relevant to the cost of the improve-
ments; that Mr. Ciesiolklewicz was going to pay for the total
improvements and put out the money for the entire one hundred
100) feet; that the amount would be deducted for the fifty
50) feet from the price of the lot.
Councilman McCaron asked if this was the same plot plan
that was presented to the Planning Commission stating it
appeared different from the one in the Council Agenda
folders.
Planning Director Chivetta stated it was not; that this
was the first time he had viewed this proposal; that it
appeared that the plan met with the Codes of the City
as for as the setback requirements.
Councilman McCaron asked if the Executive Committee of the
Planning Commission had viewed the property.
Planning Director Chivetta stated no unless it had been
viewed individually.
Councilman McCaron stated from past experience usually
houses that were over ten 10) years old were in such a
condition that they did not enhance the area they were being
moved to; that from the photographs of the building it
appeared that It would require a considerable amount of
improvement before it would actually be improving the
appearance of the building itself, possibly even new
roofing would be necessary or something of that sort;
that possibly since there had been a change on the plot
plan) it should be referred back to the Planning Commission,
that the Council could not enter into the fact that the
State sold a house and misrepresented it to the buyer;
that the Council had to consider improving and upgrading
the City.

City Attorney Flandrick stated that the City Council was
free to refer this matter to the PlanningCommission but
he suggested If this was done that the public hearing be
continued because the Planning Commission could only make
a report or comment on the revised plot plan; that they
could not hold another hearing; that the Building Super-
intendent would probably wish to see the revised plot
plan since it certainly affected the Building Department.
As there were no objections, Mayor Crites continued the
public hearing on R-145) to October 6, 1965, and
suggested in the interim that the Planning Commission be
asked to give the City Council a report on the revised
plot plan and also ask for comments from Building Super-
intendent Kalbfleisch on the revised plan.
Mr. Stearns stated that Building Superintendent Kalbfleisch
and a gentleman in his office had looked at the sketch
from which this plan was made before it was presented to
the Planning Commission.
Building Superintendent Kalbfleisch stated he had no
knowledge of the new plans.

Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated that Resolution RE POSITION OF
No. 65-147 would set up the position of Administrative Intern; ADMINISTRATIVE
that this would replace the position of Draftsman in the INTERN
Planning Department.
Councilwoman Gregory asked if the resolution could state
that it was a temporary part-time position.
Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated yes; that it
did replace a part-time, position; that there was only a
certain amount of funds allocated in the budget and the
position would automatically be eliminated when the funds
were expended.
It was decided to add a parenthetical statement directly ADDITICN TO RES_
under Administrative Intern" as follows: Temporary- TEMPORARY-PART-TIME'
Part-time.
Chief Administrative Officer Nordby further stated that
the previous position of Draftsman was nonproductive;
that the salary was such that the City could not get a
qualified individual to respond to the application request;
that the Administrative Intern position was somewhat
experimental; that there was much information and many
reports that the staff were requested to submit to the
Council.
Councilwoman Gregory stated she realized Planning Director
Chivetta was short of help In the Planning Department;
that she understood there was some backlogging of some
of the recommendations and requests of the Planning
Commission to the Planning Department because of this
short handedness; that she knew the Chief Administrative
Officer had stipulated other things Miss Midland would do
but actually the Draftsman and Planning was very important
to perhaps expedite the work that was not done on tonight's
Agenda.
Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated he had talked
with Miss Midland this morning; that a situation had arisen
in the Planning Department in Culver City, where she
was presently employed part-time under the same salary
arrangement, and she had asked for several weeks extension

layout of the structures existing. He stated that the
Planning Commission was of the opinion that' the blue area
that was shaded on the physical layout was the dedicated
street and if Kenmore was continued in a southerly direction
it could tie up with this blue area"; that the blue area
was not a dedicated street; that it was a private street
and homes would have to be acquired plus the'additional
parcels to continue.the street through; that the street that
the applicant wished to name Walnut Place the Planning
Commission recommended that it be named Benwood so that
it would line up with Benwood coming in from the east;
that the staff was of the opinion that Kenmore could be
continued in a southerly direction but the cul-de-sac
could be pulled down and reinstalled as shown on the
original map submitted by the applicant because this would
create the best drainage for the tract.
Councilwoman Gregory stated she would like an explanation
between deadend and cul-de-sac for drainage problems.
City Engineer French stated there was a multiple problem
with the extension In a deadend way; that first of all
there would be a half street crewed; that the future
development would tie into Merced Street; that to get a
fully improved street along Merced Street also required
the taking of a structure and would greatly reduce the
setbacks of existing homes in the area. He cidrified that
he was referring to the little private street that went in.
He stated the widening of the existing Kenmore coming down
would create another problem, the taking of structures;
that possibly a deeper cul-de-sac than the one proposed
could be drained back to Benwood Street and then out to
Walnut without a drainage structure and a great deal of
filling taking place; that if the street was extended
as proposed by Exhibit A the street could be broken so
that over half of the street would drain'back to Benwood
and out to Walnut with a minimum of filling but the southerly
end of that street would have to be provided with some kind,
of a temporary drainage easement or a structure that would
carry the water on out to Walnut; that it did not s::.)m very
likely that the street would go through because the Iructure
in the way was not very old; that if there wab n, problem of
developing the other way the street could, if something
happened in the area and a wider street could be had south
off of Merced, be developed on a cul-de-sac basis running
north and there would be two cul-de-sacs that did not join;
that this was not an area where a lot of traffic was trying
to be moved.
In answer to a question by Councilwoman Gregory, Planning
Director Chivetta stated the lots on the cul-de-sac as
proposed would be in excess of 10,000 square feet Parcel
11 and 12); that Exhibit A showed maximum lots on II and 12
and in excess of 5,000 square feet on Lots 1-10; that on
the redesign as presented the lots were still in excess of
5,000 square feet and Parcel 13 had In excess of 8,000 square
feet and had twenty-nine 29) foot of frontage on the half
street which would be Kenmore at this point.
Mayor Crites asked if Lots ll, 12 and 13 could be redesigned
to get three acceptable lots coming out on the deadend street.
Planning Director Chivetta stated no not unless there would
be substandard lots in width.
Place.
Councilwoman Gregory asked why this street would be called
Benwood when directly across the street there was Walnut
Planning Director Chivetta stated in a study of the re-
naming of streets Walnut Place was to be recommended to
be changed to Benwood mainly because of the emergency
situations where a person would call In an merely say he
was on Walnut and not say Street or Place.

In answer to a question by Councilwoman Gregory, City
Engineer French stated the cul-de-sac could be drained
with,a minimum amount of draining.
Councilman McCaron stated this was a problem area in view
of the prior development.
City Engineer French stated the way the houses had been
built in this area it was very difficult to provide
access south of the subdivision in that the houses were put
in based upon a thirty 30) foot wide easement and the
houses were not developed to go to a full width street;
that even a forty 40) foot dedicated street would require
removal of some structures that someone is living In.
Councilman McCaron stated regarding Exhibit A, if the drain-
age could be provided for the end of the street, that that
would at least hold the area open so that better development
could be provided; that it would appear that providing for future
extension would be better than killing it off with a
cul-de-sac.
City Engineer French stated it could be created; that it
would cause some problem in the future in the extE.ision of
the street; that the subdivider would have to get i
easement on out to Walnut and carry it under.: JLi+iG or
build up the whole subdivision adequateiy tc carry it to
Walnut; that this would be a matter of economics with the
subdivider.
Councilman McCaron stated he wondered if it would be
possible to develop the property as a cul-de-,..ac as
shown in the original application and take thu add-i•.
tional dedication for the future street; or a minimum
cul-de-sac could be put in instead of a full cul-de-sac.
City Engineer French stated yes and commented that Lot
12 would only have access off of the future street and
out to the end of the cul-de-sac.
Councilman McCaron asked if the street development was
the only phase the Planning Commission objected to.
Planning Director Chivette stated yes; that the only item
was on design primarily based on the circulation.
Mr. William Shultz, Surveyor, Hillcrest Engineering, WILLIAM SHULTZ,
30 Santa Clara Street, Arcadia, stated they would agree Surveyor, Hillcrest
to any change the Council wished to make. Engineering, 30
Santa Clara St.,
Arcadia
Discussion followed regarding going north to Bellbrook
Street; that there weren't any structures in the way
of this street providing for a full sixty 601 foot
dedicated street all the way to Bellbrook; that this
would not solve the problem south.
Further discussion followed.

COUNCIL RECESS FOR FIVE MINUTES. COUNCILMAN ADAIR RECONVENE. AT 10:13

Í«Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
accomplished; that to his K6owl edge when, he l eft Mr French's,
office the last time everything had been accomplished with
the exception of the posting of a bond;, that Mr. Ciesiolk,i;ewicz
was in agreement and would post the bond.
City Engineer French stated the dedication had been, made to
make provisions for a sixty 60) foot street;.that the
applicant had divided the property In accordance with the
Zoning Code to have the proper lot split; that the map
had been filed and checked, but before final approval could
be given to the lot split the guarantee of the Improvements
was required; that this was the only condition that was
keeping the lot split from having approval.
Mr. Stearns stated this guarantee could be and would be
effected but Mr. Ciesiolkiewicz was hesitsnt about putting
any more monies out if a denial of the relocation was
going to be reaffirmed. He stated that Mr. Ciesiolkiewicz
had purchased the lot and paid for all of the fees and
tried to comply with all of the requirements of the
various departments. He stated that the items in question
that apparently contributed to the denial were not apropos;
that with regard to Section 2a, there were two structures,.
one approximately 740 square feet in living area and. the
second a detached combined single car garage and utility
room which were proposed, as the drawing indicated, to be
combined with the main structure into one complete home
that would be in excess of 1380 square feet; that certainly
this was not a substandard structure; that Building Super-
intendent Kalbfleisch had indicated, in his estimation,
there would be requisite provisions required; that the
applicant had agreed to comply with these provisions;
that he was willing to put up the required bond in the
amount of $3400.00 with the understanding that it would
not cost $3400.00 but a bond requirement was always made
of approximately 14 to 11 times the amount of the cost;
that with regard to Section 2b the house as evidenced by the
Certificate of Occupancy in Arcadia was given in April of
1950 which would make the house fifteen 15) plus years;
that with regard to Section 2c the structures on either
side of the location where the house was to be relocated
were twenty-five 25) to thirty 30) years old; that this
structure would exceed in beauty, utility and in value the
structures already existing; that he had discussed Section
2d with Planning Director Chivetta; that the only criticism
the Planning Director had voiced was that the Planning
Commission had not approved any structures, prior to this
time, that were in excess of ten IC) years of age; that in
view of what was proposed and what Mr. Ciesiolkiewicz
would be bound to do he wondered if that criticism was
appropriate; that in any event they were not asking for
a permit to reconstruct something that would be detrimental
to Baldwin Park; that Mr. Ciesiolkiewicz purchased these
structures from the State Highway Department; that Mr.
Ciesiolkiewicz had a large family and was going to live
in the sturcture; that he was not building this or proposing
to build this for speculation; that the representatives of the
State Highway Department told him that these structures
were approximately five 5) years of age; that the structures
had been lifted onto blocks in preparation for moving; that
he had paid and entered Into a contract with a moving con-
tractor; that he had purchased and entered into the purchase
for this lot; that he had done everything possible in order
to create a home for himself and his family; that he thought
if the Council could look at this appeal or request with the
intent and feeling that he had expressed that the construction
would be advantageous to the City.
