Park; that the proposal being presented was for the City to take care of the one main tree in the center of Baldwin Park; that the other trees that he would show would be the ones the merchants would purchase at $100.00 each. He stated the tree would be fifty-five 55) feet from the base to the top of the star; twenty 20) feet in diameter; twelve 12) feet from the bottom of the tree to the ground. He showed the material for the strands stating it was plastic on heavy wire; that the strands would be lighted with red and amber lights; that every fifth light would be a clear light with a blinker; that the base was made of steel and had to be fabricated; that there had to be a caisson sunk into the ground to support the tree; that next year there Could be a seventy-five 75) foot high tree, twenty-five 25) foot in diameter with a little modification and it would be much cheaper next year than this year; that the cost of the fifty-five 55) foot tree alone was $1300.00 plus extra wiring; that the small trees would be six 6) feet in diameter and eighteen 18) feet high; that these would be on the twenty 20) light poles; that the only thing that would be lighted on these trees would be the star at the top; that the large tree would be located at Maine and Ramona; Continued) BIB] 39576-U01 1965-U02 10-U02 20-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9994-U03 FO116848-U03 DO116930-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 5/5/2008-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1965 10 20 CC MINHÄ—@¸—/È!Í«2561 Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council that the present wiring would suffice for the smaller trees; that the light bill last year ran a little over $300.00; that if the Council saw fit to go along with the large tree then there would also be the smaller ones; if not there would be the one large tree and perhaps one or two other smaller trees; that Baldwin Park would have the only white tree in the entire Valley area; that there would only be seven trees like this one in the valley and they would be in different colors. Councilman Morehead stated not only last year but in prior years it had been difficult for the business people to come up with a tree in front of each of the businesses in the City; that he had casually remarked to Mr. Parker that in view of so few trees compared with decorations in other cities that one large tree in the City would be a stand out and the other decorations would tie in; that at the time he had talked with Mr. Parker there was no mention of the money,however he had in mind that it would be real nice if the Chamber could come up with this tree but he supposed this was impossible; that he would consider a tree of that size or even smaller or whatever Council. saw fit; that he thought the City should have something other than individual decorations such as there had been. Councilman McCaron asked if the City had the funds for such a tree. Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated as the Council knew when the budget was approved prior to the first of July there were no funds provided for a tree; that should the Council decide to approve Mr. Parker's recommendation he would like time to analyze the budget; that if this matter could wait he could provide a report for the Council at the next regular meeting and a final determination could be made at that time. Mr. Parker stated they had already contracted for the.large tree but not for the others; that it took time to fabri- cate the large tree. Councilwoman Gregory stated she had done a little research; that she had been attending the meetings. of the Chamber of Commerce; that it was interesting to her to find out that Duarte with a population of nearly 15,000 subvents their Chamber in the amount of $2,000.00; that $1,650.00 was budgeted for Christmas if they come up with a program, which they did not last year; that Azusa with a population of 27,350 subvents $15,000.00 but $1,500,00 of that was allocated for Christmas; that perhaps the Chamber of Commerce agreement for next year could allocate a portion of the money for Christmas decorations; that she knew how hard it was and how hard the people in the Chamber of Commerce had worked asking over and over of the few merchants for the various things that were promoted. Councilman McCaron stated he thought there was an item in the Chamber budget for Christmas lights. Mr. Parker stated it was an offset item by the merchants; that there was $2,000 budgeted; that Temple City was expending $7,400.00 for Christmas decorations. As there were no objections, Mayor Crites instructed that this matter be held over to the next regular meeting. 00- City Clerk Balkus presented a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mamone and Mr. and Mrs. Don Gair dated October 12, 1965, regarding Z-274, requesting reconsideration and asking that the City Council initiate a new public hearing including the back portion of the property.

NO. 65-160 AS OF NOW Councilwoman Gregory stated that the City Council had considered the request for C-2; that it was spot zoning and many other things entered in; that she would hate to think that in the Council's action of reconsidering and initiating a new public hearing that the Council would be putting the staff in a rather embarrassing posi- tion of not being able to do their work correctly and she could not go along with that; that she was quite sure the Planning Director had offered to the Planning Commission all that was necessary and they ruled on what they had on hand; that she did not go along with the new public hearing; that if the applicant withheld something at the beginning she felt this was their mistake not that of the City's. The motion on the floor was read back. City Attorney Flandrick stated, in his opinion, it was Councilman Adair's intent to have the Planning Commission conduct the public hearing as a City initiated Zone change for the entire parcel; that if he understood correctly Councilman Adair wished to bring to the Council's consideration right now Resolution No. 65-160 to consider clearing off this case now by denying it; that thereafter it would be the Council's pleasure as to whether the Council wished to initiate a zone change for all of the property on that corner; that the action to follow this through would be to adopt Resolution No. 65-160 clearing off Z-274, thereafter to initiate, by motion, a direction to the Planning Commission to set for public hearing the question of shall all of the property in that area including the back piece be rezoned as requested; that the motion on the floor at present was to bring Resolution No. 65-160 on the Agenda at this point for consideration.

Councilwoman Gregory stated she felt the Council was rushing into something; that she had not been satisfied in her mind why this had been brought up to the Planning Commission in such a way that it was misunderstood and the Council had to work on it in such a way; and now the Council was back initiating a new public hearing; that it was not presented correctly in the first place; that she had no reason to believe that this was not what they wanted in the first place and she did not know why the Council was initiating a public hearing for these people. Councilman McCaron stated as far as he was concerned it was not just the isolation of the one lot that he was against on this zone change; that he had expressed his views at the time it was brought up the first time and he still was opposed to the zone change in its entirety with regard to any further study on it; that he had stated that the zone change was premature; that the zoning was not contiguous to any other zoning of the same type in the area; and that the entire parcel was being opened up to all C-2 uses which in their place on that particular parcel as it sets was not, in his opinion, good planning. Councilwoman Gregory stated there was no reason for the Council to believe that the C-2 or R-3 should be designed to this particular section; that it could be and remain R-I; that there was such controversy on this; that perhaps all of Baldwin Park Boulevard should be under study by the Planning Commission considering the best land use so that this Council would not run into this time and time again. At the request of Mayor Crites the motion was read back. Councilman Adair stated the only reason he was opposed to the zone change before was because it was creating an easement right which the City was strictly against and an inside lot.

that they had tried to utilize this- property as M-t and had been unable to do so; that the reasons that would be suggested were for instance limited access, there was no rail service to that property, there was in- sufficient water coming to that property for industrial uses, there might be a soil problem for purposes of this nature; that as a matter of fact there would be testimony presented showing that one particular developer who examined some six parcels of property just yesterday discovered this particular parcel of property to be the least attractive for industrial uses; that all of these frustrated attempts to utilize this property as M-I he thought demonstrated that there was a need, there had been a change in the times, there was a need now, there should be a logical extension of this residential area which surrounds this property, and that there should be a change at this point; that there were questions raised by residents of the City of Baldwin Park with respect to the impact of school taxes; that if 165 homes were constructed in this area obviously children would be coming up; that he had discussed this matter with Mr. Howard Sutterfield, the Assistant Superintendent in charge of Business Services, Baldwin Park City School System, and he had given him some figures; that overall in the City of Baldwin Park there were approximately 1.07 children per dwelling unit ages kindergarten through 12th grade; that as far as they were concerned obviously this was an unrealistic figure because there were some fine senior citizens residing in the City of Baldwin Park who did not have children of school age residing with them; that they had found that a comparable area was in the Americana Tract which contained 173 homes; that there were approximately 1.2 children kindergarten through 12th grade in that area; that to cover any errors they would assume 1.3 children per dwelling unit in their area; that Mr. Sutterfield told him that it costs $427.00 on the average for the education of one child for one year in the grades kindergarten through 12th grade; that 165 houses times 1.3 children per home times $427.00 to educate each student was $91,800.00+; that 2/3 of the cost of education came from the State of California; 1/3 only was paid by the local taxpayers; that 1/3 of the $91,800.00+ figure was $30,602.00; will this be a burden to the residents of the City of Baldwin Park; they submit that it would not be; why, because income would be derived from this area alone which would offset this figure; that the proposed selling price of these homes and therefore the fair market value would be somewhere between $19,000.00 and $22,000.00; that a conservative average would be $20,000.00; that the County Tax Appraiser Mr. Philip Watson appraised this property for tax purposes at 25% of the fair market value and therefore $5,000.00 they would assume would be the assessed valuation of each parcel of property; that Mr. Sutterfield told him that the tax rate per $100.00 assessed valuation was $3.81 per $100.00 assessed valuation; that $3.81 times $8,250.00, $8,250.00 was 165 homes times the assessed valuation of $5,000.00 which totaled $825,000.00 which was $8,250.00 times 100; that 3.81 times $8,250.00 equaled•$31,432.00; that therefore the revenue to be derived from this parcel of property would exceed the cost of educating the children which would be produced in that area or that would be moving into that area; that the Valley View Mutual Water Company was, at the present time, constructing a six hundred 600) foot well on Center Street; that Valley View Mutual could and they proposed to construct another six hundred 600) foot well; that the design was that there would be a twelve 12) inch water main running down north to south on the outskirts of their property with one I) eight 8) inch lateral across Olive and other six 6) inch laterals; that this would create at least one hundred 100) pounds per square inch of water pressure certainly sufficient for residential uses; that sewers were available and presented no problem; that access to this property lends itself more to residential use than to commercial or light manufacturing use; that they submit that it was better to have passenger cars within this general residential area Continued) BIB] 39576-U01 1965-U02 10-U02 20-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9994-U03 FO116848-U03 DO116930-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 5/5/2008-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1965 10 20 CC MINHÄ—@¸—/È!Í«2567 Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council October 20, 1965 Page 8 rather than commercial vehicles; that it had been shown that it costs less per capita to provide fire protection in a residential area rather than a commercial area for a variety of reasons chiefly two of which were that fires were reported earlier especially in the evening and secondly severity of the fires were not as great in a residential area; that they were prepared to show that flooding was no problem in this area; that there would be presented to the Council this evening by the developer, Mr. Nesseth, renderings showing the type of homes that were proposed to be constructed in this area; that they would also show, if the Council's interest suggests it, a tentative map showing the design, the overall layout, how the roads would look, where the houses would be constructed and so forth; that they respectfully submitted that since this M-1 classification went into existence Prudential and its predecessors had tried to utilize this property as M-I; that no interest by commercial users had been generated; that so long as this property remained M-I; at least with respect to the foreseeable future, this property would not generate revenue; that there was a tract of land lying somewhat to the northeast of their property which was M-l; that this was property on Live Oak; that it was still M-t; that it remained M-I; that with respect to possible taxes, and they were well aware of the tax burden, the revenue produced by this area would offset the cost; that by changing this area to R-I obviously new residents were going to come into the area; that it went without saying that new residents coming into the area would generate more activity among the local merchants; that they respectfully appealed to the Council to allow them to help beautify the City and to produce revenue. Mr. Ben Riley, R. A. Rowan & Company, 458 South Spring, BEN RILEY, R.A. Los Angeles, stated this property came to him approximately ROWAN & COMPANY, the first of July 1965; that he handled large pieces of 458 S. Spring, L. A. commercial and industrial acreage as well as industrial buildings; that he had submitted and shown this property probably no less than eight to ten times to different people; that they all came back with the same answer that they were sorry it was a nice flat piece of property but there was just too many problems for them; that the industrial developer's main concerns were the availability of rail which this property had none, the availability of access which this property did not lend itself to very well, the access being off Rivergrade Road was somewhat limited for industrial use and they could not bring their heavy trucks and equipment back to the residential area on the right". He told of a gentleman that he had shown the property to on October 20, 1965, stating that his first reaction was where did he get the soil for dock high building; how did he get into the property with trucks and where was the rail for his users; that in order to make this property come up to even mote expensive property considerabie amount would have to be devoted to it bringing the per acre cost much above the value of the actual lend; that he was afraid when developers got Into the problem they would have more problems than appear on the surface of the ground; that one other thing that seemed to be a*problem was the lack of industrial development in the immediate area; that this was a sign that most developers looked at; that the City of Industry was a center of industrial activity. Mr. Tracy R. Bousman, 45 West Longden Avenue, Arcadia, stated TRACY R. BOUSMAN, he would call to the Council's attention the fact that there 45 W.

Mayor Crites stated to keep the record straight the tax figure that was quoted was only for schools; that it did not reflect the entire City tax. Lucille Akin, 13521 Dunia, Baldwin Park, stated she was LUCILLE AKIN, 13521 very much in favor of the new'homes going in; that she Dunia, B.Pk. had owned three homes on this street in the past seven years; that all of the area behind them had been a catch all for trash of every description and hot rodders up and down there; that there had been a number of prowlers in the area; that she had had two robberies in her home; that she believed this would be a great asset to all in that area; that she would say that 97% of the people on Norco and Dunia were home owners; that everyone of them had tried to make a nice area out of it; that she felt this addition would increase their property values a great deal; that she had seen the homes that had been built by this company and they were lovely.

FERGUSON, 4490 was a local builder; that they were very familiar with this Cutler, B.Pk. particular piece of land; that his testimony was not in favor or against; that he merely wanted to comment; that he thought that we" should all realize that Baldwin Park was not just simply Baldwin Park anymore; that we" are just about to get on the map; that Baldwin Park was getting hospitals, convalescent homes and everything was looking better in general; that consequently there would be professional people moving into Baldwin Park; that there would not be maybe so many transient people as in the past several years; that' he thought this last frontier area as Mr. Nesseth called it should be considered a silk stocking area so to speak, a nice, beautiful area with 7500 square foot lots; that he was suggesting to the Council that if they did see fit to rezone this property that there should be some control over the lot sizes; that Baldwin Park should get away from the minimum lot sizes that Baldwin Park had experienced for so many years that brought on all of these easement lots and some of the shacks that Mr. Nesseth feferred to that exist now; that if Baldwin Park was going to have a nice area this was about the only area for it and he thought if the Council saw fit to approve the zone change that the lot sizes and the homes sizes should be restricted; that he did not think that anything under 1600 square feet should be considered there because we are" presently building 1600 square feet on fifty 50) foot lots and not having problems selling them; that the demand was good; that he solicited the Council's consideration of his suggestions.

TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION TO THE REQUEST WAS CALLED FOR BY TESTIMONY IN OPPOSI- MAYOR CRITES. TION Mr. James Q. Gibson, 13268 Francisquito Boulevard, Baldwin JAMES Q. GIBSON, Park, asked if Prudential owned the property at the time 13268 Francisquito this was up before the Council before and resulted in a Blvd., B.Pk. referendum. Mr. Bruno stated he could verify this with the Executive Vice President of Prudential who was present this evening but if he was not mistaken he believed that the Prudential Savings & Loan Association acquired the property after the change from M-I to R-I but prior to the referendum. Mr. Gibson stated he was trying to determine whether this was strictly a matter of speculation on the part of Pru- dential after the people had turned it down by a vote; that he would like to bring up something that was brought up last time this came before the Council. He asked Councilman Morehead if the adjacent M-2 property in Irwindale which was directly adjacent to the property in question was part of the gravel pit operations. Councilman Morehead stated not to his knowledge; that gravel operations were only allowed in Q" zones; that there was no Q" zoning immediately adjoining this property and not according to the map he had in front of him. Mr. Jack Baker, 13433 Benbow Street, Baldwin Park, asked JACK BAKER, 13433 if they" owned all of the property that they" were trying Benbow St., B.Pk. to change from M-I to R-1. Mr. Bruno stated the subject of this appeal covered property owned by Prudential Savings and Loan Association. Mr. Baker asked if the property under the high line was A-1 or M-I. Planning Director Chivetta stated that the map which was a composite of a Brewster map showed the property imme- diately under the high line as R-I. Further discussion followed wherein Planning Director Chivetta stated that horses were not a permitted use in the R-l; that if Mr. Baker had horses there now and was using the property for horses he had a legal nonconforming use; that the term of legal nonconforming use was only applied to structures and not to animals; that the City had taken this under consideration and had classified horses and other animals as legal nonconforming use for a period of x" number of years and then the property would have to;conform to the present Code. Further discussion followed wherein Mr. Baker stated he had understood it was R-I to the right-of-way on the high line.

Z-275 I Councilman McCaron stated that it would appear that if this property was in distress as far as being M-I tone was concerned, certainly the property adjacent to it that was in the City of Irwindale on both sides of it must be possibly in the same position; that it would appear and he would like to make a suggestion that possibly before any action was taken on this that the City of Irwindale be contacted and see what type of cooperation might be expected from them as far as future development of the area that they had under their control. Councilwoman Gregory stated she found Councilman McCaron's suggestion very fine; that Planning Director Chivetta appeared before the Irwindale Planning Commission at the Council's request to speak against an oval track which was proposed to be adjacent to the proposed new homes; that in talking to Planning Director Chivetta he had a doubt in his mind as to what the Irwindale City Council would do with this; that unless Irwindale did cooperate in changing the zone which was adjacent to the subject property, she did not feel the Council could take any action unless the Council denied it.

Flack, St. Johns Catholic Church, 3963 Baldwin Park Boulevard, Baldwin Park, stated he was speaking concerning the junction of where Sierra Madre would come onto Baldwin Park Boulevard; that generally speaking he found pleasure in the design that had been outlined with the one reservation; that the property at 3963 was occupied by a group of nuns who taught in their schools; that their position was a little bit in jeopardy at the moment because after extensive conversa- tion with Mr. French and Mr. Chivetta and several of the staff he was unable to obtain specific footage with regard to the encroachment that would be made in the swerve of Sierra Madre into Baldwin Park Boulevard; that the general impression was that it would come within forty 40) feet of the rather pretensious home that had been formerly occupied by Dr. Jock, now occupied by the sisters; that his question was, after consultation with the archbishop's office whether or not the incroachment was necessary inasmuch as there were indications of the swerve coming across the complete frontage of the property in such a way as to give a very diagonal approach to the property, cutting off much needed depth and in due time to not only cause the property to become lessened in value or at least not as usable for commercial purposes; that it was not his purpose to retain the present building as a residence for the sisters for too many years; that they proposed to build a convent next to the school; that the uncertainty in his mind and in the minds of others was the lack of specific footage, the lack of complete descrip- tion as far as how much of the property would be cut off, and the possible detrimental effect to the property if and when this road was realigned and camp through now what was the Baldwin Park Boulevard frontage of the entire property; that he registered no protest; that as he had said he was October 20, 1965 2576 Page 17 3 SCHEMATIC RENDER- INGS SHOWN AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH TESTIMONY IN OPPOSI- TION FATHER JOHN G.

City Attorney Flandrick stated this was in fact merely a Master Plan and before any details were gone into in terms of acquisition certainly more specific engineering plans would be prepared which would take in the cost of acquisition, the effect upon properties, and the like, to the particular property lines; that if this plan was approved by the Council, it was not necessarily the final plan for the connection of these two streets. City Engineer French stated a program was needed; that after the City had a program, surveys and specific information could be obtained; that it was known from aerials that the closest point to the building would be forty 40) feet from the property line but the City would not take anymore property than was necessary to meet the requirements of the State Division of Highways; that there would be a minimum amount of expenditure. Mayor Crites asked Father Flack if he understood the City Attorney's remarks that this was part of a plan rather than the specific. Father Flack stated what he was trying to steer clear of was any committment as to the precise arrangement as to the design; that if this was to be in any way a final decision that it should bear a little clause of more consideration on the specifics.

He stated that the report he had prepared while it was quite lengthy, was still not complete; that he had excluded the operating and maintenance cost of ambulances and also did not compute the cost of the service if smaller equipment were to be used. Councilwoman Gregory stated this was a fine report of twenty-one pages including a booklet on the emergency aid program of Los Angeles County; that in reading it over very carefully it raised quite a few questions in her mind as to the adequacy of the ambulance service in our area and the procedure used; that before she went on she wanted to know if the other Councilmen had such thoughts also.

Councilman McCaron stated from the report that the Council had, and comparing it to services in other areas as this report had, it would appear that the service that the City had at the present time was adequate; that there might be instances where it might appear that it was not. Councilwoman Gregory stated the report pointed out that the City was growing in population but she questioned whether there was proper ambulance service being given to the citizens because of the growth; that the report stated there were three ambulances to serve Covina, West Covina, La Puente and Baldwin Park; that figuring up this population it came to 167,000 people and including the unincorporated areas it would be quite a bit more; that the report stated there were seven ambulances to service Wichita Kansas; that she had looked up the population of Wichita and it was interesting to note that that population was 166,000; that the report also stated that the ambulances that serve Covina, West Covina, La Puente and Baldwin Park also make occasional runs outside of this area; that there might be something to offer to the County Board of Supervisors that they base theirreport on the growing population including all four cities; that she was pleased that Mr. Caproni had appeared before the Council; that she was not considering that the City go into the ambulance business but she thought a reevaluation of the problem was needed. Mayor Crites instructed the Chief Administrative Officer to contact the Board of Supervisors to evaluate the amount of service compared to the population. There were no objections. Further discussion followed regarding the Police Officer's responsibility in evaluating the seriousness of the injury when calling for an ambulance; that the ambulance service had to be geared to peak demands; that there were mutual aid agreements between Crippens and the other two services in the area. 00- Chief Administrative Officer Nordby presented Resolution No. 65-165 stating this resolution would take the initial step in creating a lighting district, the boundaries of which would be coterminous with the City boundaries; that this followed the action taken several weeks ago in with- drawing from the two lighting districts that the City was in, effective July 1, 1966. Special Counsel Charles Martin stated this assessment district proceeding would be called a 1919 Act; that tonight the resolution before the Council would commence the pro- ceedings; that if all went according to plan the completion of the project should take approximately sixty to ninety days; that the first resolution called for the rendition and preparation of a report by the City Engineer or an Engineer of Work to be selected by the City Council; that the report would come back at a later date and then on the Continued) COUNCIL INSTRUCTION C.A.0.

Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated as long as It was in the resolution that the City Engineer was named to prepare the report would this confine the preparation of the report to the City Engineer.

City Attorney Flandrick stated as he understood the Council was planning to have an adjourned meeting October 26th to discuss certain matters with the Planning Commission; that at that time the City Engineer proposed to recommend a consultant to the Council on this matter; that he suggested the other matter regarding the assessment could be deferred at this time.

He stated if the Council concurred they had before them an ordinance of an emergency nature. Councilwoman Gregory stated she agreed with the Chief Administrative Officer that a moratorium was necessary; however she felt this ordinance fell in the realm and duties of the Planning Commission and suggested that this study and revision of the ordinance involving relocations be made by the Planning Commission working with the City Attorney and the Chief Administrative Officer and that the revision come as a recommendation from the Planning Commission. She suggested inserting in Section I c) the duly appointed Planning Commission, City Attorney, and Chief Administrative Officer; and in Section I d) next to the last line strike staff" and insert Planning Commission". She stated if these amendments were acceptable she would concur with the ordinance. Mr. Sutterfield asked to be heard. October 20, 1965 Page 22 REPORT BY C.A.O. RE HOUSE MOVING AND RELOCATIONS PERMITS SUGGESTED 90 DAY MORATORIUM In response to Mayor Crites, City Attorney Flandrick stated CITY ATTY. OPINION this was not a matter for public hearing; that if the Council RE SPEAKERS AT THIS desired to permit anyone to speak they could; that the TIME Council certainly had the authority to declare a moratorium of this sort; that the appellate courts had sustained such a CITY ATTY. OPINION moratorium in the case of building permits and therefore it RE MORATORIUM followed that relocation permits were in the same category; that if nothing else it was certainly true that the present Code provisions require a revision; that the question was just exactly what direction that revision should take; that he would think between the staff and the Planning Commission, within the period of time set forth in the ordinance for this moratorium they could come up with concrete recommendations and proposals on the matter. Mr. Howard C. Sutterfield, Planning Commissioner, 3779 North HOWARD C. SUTTERFtELD. Foster, Baldwin Park, stated personally it seemed to him that 3779 N. Foster, B.Pk. someone had pushed a panic button; that he could not comprehend the purpose or the need for a moratorium. He asked if this could be discussed to a greater extent than it had to get some clarification on this. He stated it was his impression that the Planning Commission had been adequately handling this situation; that there had been approvals and denials but he was not aware of any rush of move ins that were going to jeopardize the City; that he would point out that he was not of the opinion that this was necessarily degrading; that the structures were inspected by the Building Department and must be brought up to acceptable standards and adequate funds provided on deposit. to see that this was done; that he could not see the level of requirements that were being required being lowered by relocation; that he would like to feel that this matter was being given the consideration that he felt it deserved; that he spoke primarily from the point of view as a member of the Planning Commission; that he could speak as a property owner; that he had in the last few months acquired property for the definite purpose of doing some move ins and he was sure other people had; that he thought this was something that needed some consideration; that the Council had him alarmed to say the least.

City Attorney Flandrick stated the present Code provisions were inadequate in that they conflicted with one another; that they did not clearly spell out standards to guide the Planning Commission and the staff or the Council in determining whether a permii- should be issued or not; that the Code needed revision as evidenced by the last herring; that the Planning Commission had difficulty with this and the Council had difficulty with the case as witnessed by the fact that there were approximately four hearings; that the Planning Commissions' determination on this matter was based upon, as he recalled, the age of the building which he did not think was particularly relevant; that a building might be seventy-five years old and in perfect condition; that it might be a year old and be in terrible condition; that the point was that presently the ordinance the City had was not sufficient in his opinion; that it did have provisions that conflict with other sections of the Code; that the staff also wished a determination as to whether in fact the Council wished to permit move ins; that there was a very serious problem of inspection of a building when it was being relocated; that there were problems of stability of the structure after it had been relocated; that presently there were some applications pending for multiple family dwellings which he would think present different problems; that the present ordinance made no distinction between the relocation of single or multiple family dwellings. Mr. Harold Lane, 17337 Grove Center Street, Covina, stated HAROLD LANE, he was interested in what happened to this ordinance tonight 17337 Grove Center St because he had two applications filed with the Planning Covina Department for the relocation of buildings within the City; that they had gone to quite an expense purchasing R-3 property and time and money in getting the applications prepared and presented; that he understood his applications were on the Planning Commission Agenda for November 27th; that they would like to be heard on what they wanted to do and show the renderings of the plans they had; that his operation had been in the business of relocations for fifteen years; that he had moved buildings into Baldwin Park before it became incorporated; that he felt the City had a right to see that the proper kind of buildings came in; that they were brought up to Code; that they felt they had good build- ings to offer and that the buildings they were proposing to put on the R-3 property were good buildings that they were going to keep for their own ownership; that before any moratorium was declared he thought that due consideration should be given on the applications that were before the City now. Mayor Crites asked if it could be handled in such a way that there would be a moratorium handled on any additional applications. City Attorney Flandrick stated yes, however perhaps a moratorium time of thirty or sixty days might be sufficient. Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated he agreed with the gentleman who just spoke that possible those applica- tions which were pending should be processed; that the reason for presenting this ordinance was not to permanently preclude the relocations; that the reason was to clarify the City's rules. Mr. Lane stated the buildings the State had for sale were about 75% sold.

Mr. Ed Noonan, 5602 North Peck Road, Irwindale, stated he had a joint venture in the one project; that he would like the City to make a fair decision because relocated build- ings were a urban renewal p;-ivate enterprise. He presented a picture showing how the homes could be fixed up stating the age meant nothing at all; that the architectural styling was the most important point; that the lenders on relocated buildings were giving twenty-five 25) year loans; that he did not think it was fair to issue a moratorium when there were people who were going to move these buildings in and knock down old buildings. Discussion followed wherein Mayor Crites indicated that the City should consider the applications on file. Councilwoman Gregory stated, in her opinion, two months would be an adequate time for a moratorium. City Attorney Flandrick stated that Section I d) the next to the last line would be amended to read may be drafted by the staff and Planning Commission and submitted to the Council for its consideration."; that in Section 2 the effective date of the ordinance would be changed to the 15th day of December 1966 and adding to Section 2 the phrase The moratorium imposed hereby shall not apply to or effect any application now filed and pending"; and that Section I Ic! read That the Chief Administrative Officer, City Attorney and Planning Commission is currently City Clerk Balkus read Ordinance No. 427 by title as follows: ORDINANCE NO. 427 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK DECLARING A MORATORIUM UPON THE ISSUANCE OF MOVING AND RELOCATION PERMITS FOR BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES PROPOSED TO BE LOCATED WITHIN THE BOUNDARY OF SAID CITY AND DECLARING THIS ORDINANCE TO BE AN URGENCY ORDINANCE TO TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY" COUNCILWOMAN GREGORY MOVED THAT FURTHER READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 427 AS AMENDED BE WAIVED.

Mr. Bruno stated he would use his rebuttal time to answer any questions. Mr. Gus Nesseth submitted to the City Clerk a statement containing names of people in the area approving the zone change. He stated there were forty-four names which amounted to approximately ninety percent 90%) or better of people within a five hundredfoot radius of the property. He stated he also had a list of approximately one hundred twenty-five 125) in various areas of Baldwin Park who thought this area should be improved which he submitted to the City Clerk. He requested that the lists be photo- stated so that he could have copies of them later. Mr. Bruno stated he did not find it necessary to take up the Council's time in rebutting anything in particular that had been said. that most of the presentations with respect to con had been questions either directed to him or clarification of areas of property; that as he had indicated he would be happy to use his rebuttal time to answer any questions. Councilman Adair stated he received service from Valley View Mutual Water District and was very dissatisfied; that he would not be an instigator of this project where someone would come back on the Council later regarding the water. Mr. Bruno stated that he had driven by the property just a few days ago; that he found there was a well under construction on Center Street; that it was his understand- ing from discussions with Mr. Nesseth and others that in the event this property was developed as R-I property pro- vision could be made for the drilling of a second six hundred foot well; that the design would be, as he had mentioned in his presentation, to run a twelve inch main down the easterly perimeter of their land, there would be an eight 8) inch lateral going across an extension of Olive Street with other six 6) inch laterals throughout the particular parcel; that they understood as a result thereof there would be sufficient water to create pressure of at least one hundred pounds per square inch which should be adequate for this type of a development. Councilman McCaron stated he thought there was an alternative where they could apply to the Baldwin Park County Water District for water. Councilwoman Gregory stated she was also served by Valley View Mutual Water Company; that to depend on water from a well she would hope it would be from Baldwin Park County Water District and sometime from the MWD; that she did not feel Baldwin Park would depend on the ten mutual water companies too long. Mr. Bruno stated if there was concern with the water pro- blem in a residential area as he understood it the water problems in a commercial area were even greater. Mr. Nesseth stated that just in case Valley View Mutual Water Company did not come up with the two wells that they anticipated they had already contacted Baldwin Park County Water District and they would be very happy to amply supply the water; that he had talked with Mr. Holmes concerning the new water project being brought in, MWD, anticipating reservoirs up in our near mountain area; and that the entire valley had water problems.
