City Clerk Backus read Resolution No. 65-157 by title as follows: RESOLUTION NO. 65-157 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK, INDICATING ITS INTENTION TO MAKE CERTAIN CHANGES AND MODIFICATIONS IN THE RESOLUTION OF INTENTION NO. 64-211, RELATING TO THE BOUNDARIES OF ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 64-A-I" COUNCILMAN MOREHEAD MOVED THAT RESOLUTION NO. 65-157 BE APPROVED AND FURTHER READING BE WAIVED.

CIESIOLKIEWICZ 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. I 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.

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.

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.

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.

City Engineer French stated the subdivider had just stated to him that he was agreeable to take it without the alternative. Further discussion followed.

COUNCILMAN MOREHEAD SECONDED. The motion carried by the following vote: AYES: COUNCILMEN MCCARON, MOREHEAD, ADAIR, GREGORY AND MAYOR CRITES NOES: NONE ABSENT: NONE 00- 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 Corak Street came down and around the corner it passed Continued) October 6, 1965 Page 14 MOTION MADE AND CARRIED THAT TRACT NO. 23709 BE APPROVE' WITH DEVELOPMENT OF KENMORE TO SOUTHERLY PROPERTY LINE AS SHOWN WITH HALF STREI AND HALF CUL-DE-SAC AND THAT LOT PATTERN BE AS IT IS SHOWN ON EXHIBIT A" AND SUB- JECT TO ALL OF OTHER CONDITIONS AS SET FORTH IN P.C.

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.

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.

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.

She passed around a sample card which indicated on the back that it was printed in Baldwin Park stating that 200 cards would be $25.00. There were no objections. 00- 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.
