City Clerk Bslkus stated the Council had before them
a Y emorandum concerning the request of Mr. Leo Caproni
to speak under Oral Coamunicattons concerning ambulance
service.
Mr. Leo Caproni, 3934 Hornbrook, Baldwin Park, stated
previously the subject was discussed as a result of
numerous complaints from the Baldwin Park Improvement
Association regarding the poor ambulance service; that
at that time the Association unanimously appointed Mr.
James Garrow to act as spokesman before the Council; that
Mr. Garrow had discussed a particular case in question and
expounded on the possibility of a City operated ambulance
service in order to be assured of a good quality service;
that there were several recent cases that brought him here
this evening, the most recent one being last week which
involved an automobile striking a young boy in front of his
home; that it took the ambulance over twenty-two 221
minutes to reach the scene from the time Mr. Caproni arrived
home; that previous to that he had received a call from his
wife and it had taken some additional time to arrive home;
that the Police Department had been on the scene almost
immediately; that twice in the last month there had been an
occasion to call an ambulance and both times there seemed to
be an unusual amount of time before the ambulance arrived;
that each time the Police Department and Fire Rescue Squad
had been on the scene within a few minutes. He asked if the

ambulance service was on a franchise or a contract, was
there at least one ambulance available withif the City
limits of 44,000 people on a twenty-four 241 hour basis,
was there an ambulance located within the City equipped
with the proper telephone and radio communications, and
how could a private individual be forced to do the things
necessary to assure Baldwin Park residents of good
ambulance service. He stated he had talked with one
of the ambulance drivers In town and was informed that
there was supposed to be an ambulance located within the
City on a twenty-four 24) hour basis at 3753 Maine Street.
He further stated that this particular ambulance was not'
In town when the call was made last week; that the one
from Francisquito and Hacienda Boulevard in La Puente was
called and this one was not available either; that the
ambulance which finally arrived came from Covina; that the
ambulance driver he had talked with stated the ticket
stated the time it took to arrive on the scene was nine-
teen 19) minutes; that he understood that the County
allowed the ambulance service twenty 20) minutes from
the time they receive the call to get to the scene of the
accident, and what person was going to put down time that
would jeopardize their twenty 20) minutes; that there were
other people in the audience who had complaints about the
ambulance service; that he hoped this report would inspire
the Council to investigate and possibly afford Baldwin
Park with a better service; that the father of the child
who was struck was in the audience; that Mr. Cannady, who
was in the audience, he understood, had also received
complaints concerning the ambulance service.
Mayor Crites stated this was a matter for recommendation
from the Chief Administrative Officer and the Chief of
Police and asked if there were any suggestions or recommenda-
tions at this time.
Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated he was sure Mr.
Caproni realized the City had no direct jurisdiction over
the ambulance service; that this did not mean, however, the
City did not have responsibility. He stated that the staff
could bring back a complete report at the next Council
Meeting on the costs and the advantages and disadvantages
the City would have in taking over such a service.
Councilwoman Gregory stated the Council should instruct
the Chief Administrative Officer to do this and include
in the survey the need for more than one ambulance for
the City.
Mayor Crites instructed Chief Administrative Officer
Nordby to make a study of this matter and bring the
Council a report.

City Attorney Flandrick stated that the purpose of Resolu-
tion No. 65-157 which had been distributed to the Council
was to exclude from Assessment District 64-A-I areas of
property lying northwesterly of Rivergrade Road that belong
to the Los Angeles County Flood Control District which
were in use as a Flood Control Channel; that it would be
shortly separated from any portion of the City as well as
any sewers constructed in this district by the Rivergrade
Freeway, when it was constructed; that this would have
been assessed at a zero figure in any event since it would
not have been, in any way, benefited by the construction
of sewers; that the secondary purpose of requesting that
this be set for a public hearing was that under the new
law that became effective on September 17, 1965, once a
modification proceeding was under way the Council obtains
jurisdiction at that point to approve a specific map
showing parcel by parcel each piece of property in the
district which would be benefited and thus assessed for
the cost of construction of these sewers; that by doing
this the City would save approximately Ii to 2 months time
as far as the Assessment Engineer was concerned; because
of the 4700 parcels included in this district his estimate
was that approximately 357, ot,those would have to be des-
cribed for the purpose of the assessment and the bonds in
metes and bounds descriptions; that this was time consuming
and expensive; that by recording this map with every parcel
in the district numbered, then at the time of the protest
hearing if it appeared that a parcel which was a single
parcel at the time the construction commenced but perhaps
had been divided by a lot split, Instead of having to again
prepare legal descriptions it could merely be designated as
Parcel A and B of Parcel number whatever it happened to be;
that a secondary aspect was that at the time the notices
were sent out for the protest hearing, which w,as expected
to be approximately the second week in December, a map
would be enclosed so that property owners would know where
their property was, as a metes and bounds description did
not help very much in trying to ascertain exactly where
the property owner's parcel was and how much the assessment
was; that it was thought that this would assist the property
owners in knowing where the sewer was in relation to their
property and what the cost was going to be; that the adop-
tion of this resolution merely sets this matter for hearing
on November 3, 1965; that it was the staff recommendation,
concurred with by the Assessment Engineer and the Attorney
for the bonding house as of yesterday morning, that this
resolution be adopted.

Planning Director Chivetta presented a resume of the case RESUME
stating that this matter was referred back to the Planning
Commission for reconsideration due to a revised plot plan
that was submitted to the Council which the Planning
Commission had not reviewed; that the Planning Commission
stated that the age of the structure was the determining
fact in their denial of the relocation, not the plot plan;
that the Planning Commission reaffirmed their previous
decision of denial; and that it was the staff recommenda-
tion that the City Council concur with the Planning
Commission's decision. He pointed out the site plan of
the proposed structure, a rendering or artist1s conception
of what the structure would look like when completed, and
a zoning map on the well.

City Attorney Flandrick stated that the City Council had
before them a memorandum dated October 1, 1965, from
the Building Superintendent to the Chief Administrative
Officer relating to this case as well as a memorandum
from the Building Superintendent to the Planning Director
containing the staff findings relating to this matter.
City Engineer French stated at the request of members of
the staff he had reviewed the building;.that a great
degree, as pointed out in the Building Superintendent's
letter, of damage had been done to the building to support
it for movement; that in his opinion, there would be some
question as to the structural stability of the building
and prior to the movement or the approval of any movement
of this building he would think that It would be necessary
to have a review and approval of this building at least
by a structural engineer as to the structural stability.
City Attorney Flandrick read Section 7910 of the Baldwin
Park Municipal Code. He further stated that copies of
the two reports he had referred to earlier were given to
the applicant at the time these reports were before the
Planning Commission.
City Clerk Balkus administered the Oath to those in the OATH ADMINISTERED
audience desiring to be heard during the meeting.

He stated they understood'When they left here" the last
time that the matter would be heard by the Planning
Commission; that the Planning Commission had not given
any opportunity to speak, and, as Mr. Chivetta Indicated,
one of the Planning Commissioner's stated that the denial
was predicated on the age of the structure and not the
plot plan; plan submitted to City Clerk at end of
September 20, 1965 meeting) that after Mr. Kalbfleisch,
Building Superintendent, visited the site and examined
the buildings he was given a copy of what had been given
to Mr. Ciesiolkiewicz indicating there would be certain
corrections required by the Building Superintendent, that
fourteen 14) corrections were enumerated; that on his
last visit here" he had spoken with Mr. Ciesiolkiewicz
and assured the Council that he intended not only to meet
all of these requirements but to make the structure more
desirable than was made requisite; that to his knowledge
the ordinances did not indicate or stipulate that a
structure must be less than ten 10) years old; that the
City Attorney had read it must be habitable and so forth;
that Mr. Ciesiolkiewicz meant to make it habitable, more
so than required; that relevant to the damage that had
been Incurred by the arrangements of moving the structures,
certainly the removal from the foundation rendered it less
stable than it was before but the structure-.would have to
pass the Building Superintendent's examination and
approval; that they were not trying to evade anything;
that he was a General Contractor and the statement of the
City Engineer that a Structural Engineer's report would
be necessary was dealing In semantics again and just going
around and around; that the structure was now in the process
of being moved; that it was certainly not as stable as it
was when it was on the foundation; that Mr. Poyorena, a
licensed mover of structures, was in the audience and
would give testimony to the effect that he had moved
structures that were much older than this into the
community and these structures had been made habitable;
that Mr. Ciesiolkiewicz wanted to live In this community
and was willing to pay for the privilege; that he was
willing to pay for the Installing of curbs, gutters and
sidewalks and improvements on a lot that did not even
belong to him that would be the adjacent lot; that he
had submitted to the Council photographs of the contiguous
structures; that the structures that would be erected and
constructed would be far superior to those that were on
either side; that he was not benefiting by a contract of
construction or the moving or anything other than the fact
that Mr. Clesiolkiewicz was a friend of his; that a refusal
would constitute a great hardship to Mr. Ciesiolkiewicz;
that he thought Mr. Flandrick could indicate that it was
not a question of stipulated age of a structure but the fact
of the habitability of the structure; that this structure
would not be a rundown eyesore in the neighborhood.
Mr. Poyorena, Pacific Coast House Movers, stated he was MR. POYORENA,
bonded and licensed in this City; that he had timbered PACIFIC COAST HOUSE
the house up Tuesday; that the house was in excellent MOVERS
condition, and it was better built than the one he moved
in on Stewart in February of this year which was approximately
twenty-five 25) years old; that the house was jacked up
because the State was getting impatient; that it could
be examined thoroughly; that there were minimum cracks
in the plaster.
Mr. Samuel A. Camarella, 3941 Harlan, Baldwin Park, SAMUEL A. CAMARELLA,
stated he was the selling salesman for this lot; that 3941 Harlan, B.Pk.
he thought this house being put on this lot would be a

Chief Administrative Officer Nordby explained that Resolu-
tion No. 65-155 would transfer certain funds, which were
advanced from the General Fund, from the District 61-A-I
Sewer Assessment Fund, and that Resolution No. 65-156
would establish a Special Maintenance Fund.
He stated there were two dispositions of surplus funds
permitted under the 1913 Act procedure; that one called
for a rebate to all property owners in the district and the
other was to transfer the funds to a maintenance fund;
that the Council, at the time the district was initiated,
elected to retain the funds for maintenance; that the
Council had before them a report of the final costs for
Sewer Assessment District 61-A-I prepared by the Finance
Director.
City Clerk Backus read Resolution No. 65-155 by title as
follows:
RESOLUTION NO. 65-155
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK TRANSFERRING
CERTAIN FUNDS 61-,A-I)"
Councilman Morehead asked the City Attorney to explain,
for the benefit of the audience, as to why $42,019.71
should not be split up and divided among the property
owners In this district and if that were done how a
Sewer Maintenance Fund would be established.
City Attorney Flandrick stated in any district the size of
this one and, of course, the remaining two districts, there
would be some funds available after the sewer was constructed;
that primarily the funds that were being referred to here
occurred by reason of the Finance Director's investment of
funds during the course of this district; that there would
be a very small amount per property owner if the money
were returned and the district maintenance as such would
have to come from the General Fund or a Special Sewer
Maintenance District established; that if a district of this
type were established he felt certain it would be more
expensive than the proposal here; that this Special Main-
tenance Fund was designed to maintain this particular
district 61-A-1) and no other.

City Clerk Balkus stated the next item of business was
Z-274, an application submitted by F. Mamone and D.
Gair for a zone change from Zone R-3 heavy multiple resi-
dential) to Zone C-2 heavy commercial) or more restrictive
use upon parcels of land located at 3419 and 3427 Baldwin
Park Boulevard and 13643 Foster Avenue; that the public
hearing on this matter had been closed on September 15,
1965 and the matter returned to the Planning Commission
for a report.
Councilman Morehead stated as far as he could ascertain
the lot, that had been stated would be landlocked by this
rezoning, had never been split and asked how this rezoning
could create an interior lot.
Discussion followed that there would be two different
zonings on one lot.
City Attorney Flandrick stated the property on the
map in the Council's Agenda folders which bears the
notation 3427 Baldwin Park Boulevard was, according
to the records searched out by Mr. Chivetta, a single
lot that extended completely to the rear including the
structures shown on the area; that there was in fact
no lot split pending on this matter; that the applicants,
as he recalled, indicated by their testimony that the
two corner lots at Foster and Baldwin Park Boulevard
were under separate ownership; that apparently
from Mr. Chivetta's explanation to the Planning Commission
and to the City Council the suggestion on the part of the
applicant was to square it off to make a single unit type
development but the net end effect, as he recalled the
position of both the staff and the applicant, would be
to create what, in effect, was a landlocked parcel of
land; that there would be no access as such other than
by a possible easement over the property owned by the
same applicant fronting on Baldwin Park Boulevard to
facilitate either vehicular or pedestrian access to this
structure which, as he recalled the testimony of one of
the principals, would remain and they would continue the
structures as a single family structure or multiple, which-
ever it was.
Mayor Crites asked If this was permitted in C-2.
City Attorney Flandrick stated there was no law as such
which would stop the zoning of a single parcel into
one or more different zones; that this was a matter of
legislative determination; that in July the Council had
amended the lot split regulations prohibiting the
creation by a lot split of this very thing, except under
certain circumstances by a zone variance.
Councilwoman Gregory stated that the Planning Commission
had pointed out that this was a very bad use of very
good land.
COUNCILWOMAN GREGORY MOVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL CONCUR
WITH THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND
DENY Z-274. COUNCILMAN MCCA99N SECONDED.
Councilman Morehead stated that prior to the improvement
of Baldwin Park Boulevard, the corner of Foster and Baldwin
Park Boulevard was one of the most unsightly corners in
this City; that as he saw it there was no such thing as
creating an Interior lot because the property had not
been split; that if this went C-2 he felt like the entire
corner would start developing.
Planning Director Chivetta stated the landlocked R-5
parcel which would be created by the C-2 zone would not

the extension of Kenmore without the taking of buildings
which would be constructed as a part of this subdivision;
that the map before the Council allowed the cul-de-sac
and yet allowed the fact that if development took place
southerly it could be extended.
Councilman McCaron stated he did not think the approval
of the tentative tract should be contingent upon the
applicant securing a 1911 Act petition; that the lots
as shown on Exhibit A with the street pattern as shown
and calling for the drainage easement should be the
requirements and it should be approved as presented.
City Engineer French stated the requiring of the drainage
easement would require the applicant to go outside of the
blue border of his tract and the land he owned.
Mr. Forrest Lundstrom 518 Alahmar, Alhambra, residence; FORREST LUNDSTROM,
4265 Baldwin Avenue, El Monte, business address, stated 518 Alahmar, Alhambra
he concurred and that he had discussed this with the
City Engineer and the Planning Director;
Councilman McCaron stated if the applicant was unable to
secure the drainage easement he should be allowed an
alternative condition to grade the street so that it
drained back toward Benwood.
City Engineer French stated this was a possibility; that
it would then raise Kenmore to quite an elevation at the
rear property line and it would build up all of the lots.
City Treasurer Pugh stated there seemed to be a movement
to get R-3 in this area; that she had a landlocked lot
that could be subdivided if there was a street; that she
had not been approached to sign anything regarding the
street.
City Engineer French stated this was an R-I subdivision;
that the forty eight percent 46%t for the street really
included Mrs. Pugh because he had talked with her and
she had indicated willingness to see the street go
through; that he knew she had not signed the petition.
Discussion followed wherein Planning Director Chivetta
stated he was approached by one of the property owners
in this area requesting that the Planning Commission
possibly initiate a reclassification of this area to
a less restrictive zone, namely, that the property owner
was now circulating a petition to this effect throughout
this area bounded by Walnut, Merced, Olive and Los Angeles
to be presented to the Planning Commission at their next
regular meeting under Written Communications regarding
the initiation of a public hearing thus saving the property
owner the filing fee; that this had no immediate bearing
on the tract this evening.
Councilman Morehead asked who would determine whether
or not Mr. Lundstrom was able to obtain the drainage
easement.
City Attorney Flandrick stated there was another alter-
native; that the Council had discussed either the sub-
divider obtaining the drainage easement over the property
outside the area of the tract or in the alternative raise
the lots that were affected by that drainage so as to drain
in the street in a manner satisfactory to the City Engineer;
that if the Council wished the subdivider could be asked to
continue this matter to the next regular meeting and in the
interim attempt to get this drainage easement.

Further discussion followed concerning obtaining the
drainage easement wherein City Attorney Flandrick
stated if the Council wished to put this in as a condition
of approval that he would suggest that the condition be
that he use his best efforts to obtain this property at
a reasonable price, and if he was unable to do so then
the alternative would come into effect that he would re-
grade the lots; that R-i property had a relatively standard
valuation; that a reasonable evaluation could be made to
determine whether the applicant had used his best effort
to obtain it.
City Engineer French stated the subdivider had just stated
to him that he was agreeable to take it without the
alternative.
Further discussion followed.

Mr. Malcolm Lincoln, 3924 Center Street, Baldwin Park,
thanked the City Engineer and the Planning Director
who had put in so much tams and effort trying to clarify
the metre- of the ex1onsiot. of Loma Lane. He stated that
while this might seer, fair on the basis of the City's
position he called attention to one idea which had been
left off which probably would proceed number I as a
possibility, that of outright purchase of a piece of
land that might be dedicated; that he thought there were
some extenuating circumstances in this particular
situation; that Mrs. Champ 6n hid purchased this property
in 1933; that if these four steps were accepted this would
mean that on Item 4 the City would stand the cost of the
paving of the street, curbs, gutters and sidewalks on Mrs.
Champion's side of the reameiAing property, about two lots
in size, following along a one hundred twenty-five 125)
foot strip of the extended Loma Lane and then down around
the corner past Earl approximately one hundred 100) feet;
that according to the figures on the deposit sheet his
figures came out to roughly $1,000,00 that Mrs. Champion
would have to stand after she had dedicated one-third of
the property.
City Engineer French stated there were two problems;
that the cost was based upon getting someone to do a
small development and there was a margin for inflation;
that the estimate was high as compared to actual cost;
that any money not spent would be returned to the
property owner or if the property owner put in the
improvement the money on deposit would be returned to
the property owner.
Mr. Lincoln stated on the northerly edge of Mrs. Champion's
property now where it abuts the next property there was
a one hundred twenty-five 125) foot strip that would be
controversial as to whether it was given as a dedication
or not; that there was a sidewalk easement now; that as

by two houses and then there was about a two to three foot
offset where the sidewalk parallels what would become Loma
Lane; that there was a fence on the northerly property
side and on Mrs. Champion's side blocking off that sidewalk.
He asked if that sidewalk would be taken out and a new one
constructed or would it be widened or left and the curb
added, would Loma Lane be corrected to go straight out to
Earl Avenue and would that offset be straightened out.
City Engineer French stated the recommendation in Item 3
was that the City would provide the curbs and gutters on
the portion of Loma Lane dedicated by the property owner
adjacent to the existing development to the north; that
the staff intended for the curbs and gutters to run out
in a direct line but did not intend to do anything with
the sidewalk other than taking down the fence and grading
out or something like this.
Mr. Lincoln stated his final appeal was to consider very
deeply the situation as far as this one individual was
concerned and realize what this was going to mean
economically if she had to give up one-third of a piece of
property and lose upwards of a sale price of $4,000.00 on
that lot; that his recommendation to the City would be to
consider along with this as a very initial item to purchase
the property from Mrs. Champion before the Council re-
considered all of the other parts; that he was sure she
would be willing to develop the other two lots after she
had applied for a lot split or sold it to someone else to
do similarly.
Councilman McCaron stated this was just a study at this
time; that there was no action to be taken as far as any
development was concerned unless Mrs. Champion was ready to
proceed with the lot split and development of her property;
that if she was ready some sort of an agreement should be
brought out and firmed up; that this might be the thinking
at the present time but if this layed dormant for the next
five 5) years before anything happened the picture could
chenge considerably.
In answer to a question by Councilwoman Gregory, City
Engineer French stated this matter began with Mrs. Champion
coming into the office investigating what would be necessary
for the development of her property; that when she found
out about the dedication of this street she then made a re-
quest to the Planning Commission for a determination that
the extension of Loma Lane through her property was not
necessary; that the Planning Commission made a determina-
tion that it was necessary and now it was before the City
Council because the Planning Commission recommended that
possibly some consideration could be given to Mrs. Champion
in that the development that would normally be required of
a person applying for a lot split on this property would be
excessive; that the Council then ask for a recommendation
and there was a recommendation now before the City Council.
In answer to questions by Councilwoman Gregory, City
Engineer French stated the dedication requirement would be
approximately 50 by 124 feet; that it was always necessary
where there was an outlet to serve an interior area that
somewhere this width of street must be developed to get out.
Councilwoman Gregory commented that Mrs. Champion would be
asked to dedicate a salable lot; that the development of
this area made the street necessary but this was no actual
problem of this person; that she thought this matter was a
little premature; that the budget was negligent in not
having monies set aside for land acquisition; that this
type of problem would come up time and time again, and this
was one of the reasons she had always wanted land acquisi-
tion budgeted.

City Engineer French stated if the City did purchase the
land and Mrs. Champion came in under normal lot split pro-
cedure after the City purchased the land she would be res-
ponsible for curb, gutter and paving of the street and
the utilities.
Discussion followed that condemnation of the property was
a possibility.
Councilman McCaron stated he thought the Council should
consider asking for a study and recommendation on assess-
ing the inside property that would benefit by an outlet
street whereby the property owners would deposit money in
a fund to take care of the purchase of outlets for interior
lots.
Mr. Leo Caproni, Chairman, Planning Commission, stated the
request was for a determination as to whether or not the
street should go through; that it was the consensus of all
of the Planning Commission members that it was a necessity;
however, several of the Commissioners expressed sympathy
in the fact that this one individual should have to contri-
bute more than her share than what she would get benefit
from; that if the man who bought the property adjacent to
the subject property would have bought the subject property
he would have been required to put the street in at his cost,
however a contractor obviously was in a position to do this
a little better than an individual; that throughout all of
the lot splits where people have built on the rear of their
property this had always been a dedication matter to obtain
access to the rear of the property; that he could not
visualize the City going out and buying all of this property
where a dedication would be more in line; that in line with
some of the Commissioner's comments a note was added to their
recommendation that consideration be given that the City
might participate in the part that would not directly
benefit this individual's property.
Discussion followed wherein Planning Director Chivetta
stated the resolution of the Planning Commission was
presented to the City Council on September 15, 1965;
that it was considered and requested that the staff
make a study and report back; that this had been done
and the findings enumerated In the report before the
Council this evening.
Councilman McCaron stated, in his opinion, the Council
could not make any commitment unless there was an
indication from Mrs. Champion that she wished to proceed
with the dedication.
Councilman Morehead commented that it was a terrible
situation for Mrs. Champion to have to dedicate one-third
of her property in order to develop two lots; however on
the other hand it was his opinion that it was necessary
to open up Loma Lane.
Councilman McCaron suggested if the property owners wished
to circulate a petition in that area for 1911 Act improve-
ment that the rest of the area might participate in it
for the benefit they would derive from it.
Mr. Caproni stated, on the comment that the property owners
south of Mrs. Champion's small piece of property in the past
in some way should have been made to contribute, that
the property to the south at one time was also Mrs. Champion's
property.

Mr. Lincoln.stated that Mrs. Champion did not own any of
the property developed by Areo Construction Company.
Mayor Crites stated, for the record, that he disliked
greatly having to be judge and jury on a person's economic
status; however, in his opinion, there should be some way
arranged in order to be able to prevent one person from
having, to bear such a terrific burden proportionately;
that possibly if this could be opened up on a 1911 Act
it would be an equitable distribution that way because
then the property could be paid for out of the condemna-
tions fees and the assessment could be made in proportion
to, the benefit; that he could see no reason for any action
right now because there was really no petition except
to find out what the City wanted to do about it.
City Engineer French stated a petition could be prepared
and presented to the Council for their approval to circulate
and then Mr. Lincoln or Mrs. Champion could circulate the
petition; that sixty 60%) percent of the property owners
would have to sign the petition.
Councilman McCaron asked about the possible development on
the, other end of Loma Lane.
City Engineer French stated it would go the other way at
some future date; that if a petition was going to be
circulated the whole pattern might as well be completed.
City Attorney Flandrick stated the possibilities of creating
an assessment district could be explored.
Mayor Crites suggested the possibilities just mentioned
be explored and that this be held over for a subsequent
meeting.
Mr. Lincoln stated he':was willing to give the petitioning
a try but did not commit Mrs. Champion regarding this matter.
Councilman Morehead asked if Mr. Lincoln and Mrs. Champion
were willing to accept the recommendation dated October
6, 1965, before the City Council and dedicate approximately
one-third 1/3) of this property and live up to these four
suggestions by the City Engineer and Planning Director.
Mrs. Champion did not come to the microphone but indicated
to Mr. Lincoln that she did not see why she should have to
give up one-third 1/3) of the property.
Mr. Lincoln stated he wanted to talk with Mrs. Champion
some more about the matter, and that he appreciated
the Council's time. He ask that the Council not take
any definite action until he had time to explore some
of the other possibilities.
Councilman Morehead asked if Mr. Lincoln and Mrs. Champion
would be willing to continue this matter until the next
Council Meeting.

Mr. Lincoln asked that the matter be continued until he MATTER CONTINUED UNT

City family; that this time she would like to have the
Council adjourn Into the Conference Room or if that
was not large enough into Room 100 for a real round
table discussion.

Councilwoman Gregory stated that most libraries had a
corner set aside for the history of the particular city
they were in; that the Chamber of Commerce had been
collecting during the past year how Baldwin Park began;
that perhaps the Chamber of Commerce should be invited
to enlarge their quest for information and possibly use
the Newsletter in asking citizens who have lived in
Baldwin Park for various historical pieces that they
might wish to donate to the cause; that this could be
added to what the City had and catalogued and put in the
new library.
Mayor Crites stated a group called the Friends of the
Library might be able to help; that Mr. Don Hethcock
wrote athesis on Baldwin Park and possibly the City
could get a copy of that for base material.
Councilwoman Gregory asked that the Chief Administra-
tive Officer write a letter to the Chamber of Commerce
as soon as possible so that nothing would happen to the
material that they have on hand until such time as the
City could get a committee to further this project.
City Treasurer Pugh stated she had most of the City
pictures and write ups in the newspaper at the time
of incorporation.
Finance Director Duncan stated that the City had kept a
scrapbook of the newspaper pictures and write ups
since the inception of the City; that also the Police
Department had a scrapbook on matters pertaining to the

be appreciated.

create an interior lot in terms of the lot split regula-
tions; that it would, of course, create an inlerlor lot
when and if the property was developed into C-2 uses
because one of the requirements of the Zoning Code was
that a six 6) foot high masonry wall with no openings
be constructed along the property lines where commercial
uses abut residential uses; that this would landlock
the parcel.

City Engineer French reviewed his report on Tentative
Tract No. 23709 stating that the Planning Director
and himself had had a few meetings with the applicant;
that a plan had been worked out which was in the Council
Agenda folders; that a 1911 Act petition form had been
made for the improvement of this street according to the
plan; that the applicant had circulated the petition;
that the applicant had obtained signatures or commitments
from forty-eight 48) percent of the property owners; that
the general consensus was that there was about thirty
percent 30%) for the street and approximately ten percent
10%) against the street; that this put the applicant
in a position where it was virtually impossible for him
to obtain sixty percent 60%) of the signatures; that
the applicant had indicated that If the Council would
concur he would develop the portion of Kenmore as
indicated on the map in accordance with this map and
accept the stipulation of obtaining and improving a
drainage easement to Walnut and the dedication and
Improvement of Kenmore and Benwood as it affected his
tract.
In answer to a question by Councilwoman Gregory, City
Engineer French stated this was a modified map; that
the Planning Commission desired that Kenmore be con-
structed as a half street and deadended at the southerly
property line of the tract; that the change was that
there would be a cul-de-sac at the end of this street;
that it allowed the street to be developed in a manner
of a cul-de-sac without regard to future development
and it allowed the one deep lot that did not have access
to the rear to have access on this cul-de-sac; that
it also had enough dedication at the end so that if
at some time this area would be redeveloped to the
south to Merced Street, a private undedicated street,
it could tie into this street and be extended; that he
believed this plan would permit the cul-de-sac If
pulled northerly as proposed with Lot Split 353 in the
original submittal of this subdivision, would preclude
