by the subdivider; that as he recalled in approximately
June 1964, the City agreed, at the request of the sub-
divider, to Condemn an area for this easement for sewer and
storm drain purposes providing that the subdivider would
pay all the expenses including Attorney's fees, courts
costs, appraisal fees and so forth to accomplish this; that
pursuant to that direction a proceeding was filed and an
order of immediate possession was obtained and a judgment
conveying to the City an easement for the purposes as set
forth; that there was an error in the complaint as initially
filed; that the action was to acquire a sewer easement and
did not include a storm drain easement which was in fact
the original direction of the Council; that it was corrected
several months after it was filed; that the two property owners
involved who owned the property over which the easement was
to be located, were not as happy as they could be with the
proposed awards but they did finally accept them or at least
they failed to make any appearance in the court proceeding
although they had been contacted by the usual manner of
service of process as well as a letter from him; that there-
after, as he recalled, in December of 1964 the court indicated
a judgment, as he had indicated, awarding to the City the
easements as sought; that then it appeared Mr. Levin through
his contractor constructed the sewer lines and unfortunately
for all concerned he constructed them outside of the ease-
ment on an area of property not owned by him nor by the City;
that it was in an area that would be within a street or a
proposed street if that street were to be condemned or other-
wise acquired and the problem at the moment and had been for
some months, as indicated in the letter, was that Mr. Levin
had not been able to reach any agreement with Mr. Benson and
Mr. Baca, the two property owners involved; that an addi-
tional side problem was that the attorney who represented Mr.
Benson and Mr. Baca, had indicated the last time he had talked
with him approximately one month or two ago, that he had a
tentative agreement for the sale of all of the Baca and Benson
property to Mr. Levin or someone else so that this problem
could be resolved; that the only feasible solution to solve
this problem would be apparently, and he assumed from his
brief conversation with Mr. French that he apparently would
recommend this, that again the City go in and condemn for this
street in this area, after the cost had been determined assuming
that the same would be at the expense of the subidivider because
apparently the parties were not going to get together voluntarily
He further stated if the Council felt it was worthy of further
investigation the cost of the acquisition of the area in there
for a street could be determined, at least primarily; that a
rough appraisal could probably be obtained by the same appraiser
who evaluated the easement; that he could probably recompute
and give an idea of the cost; that the City Engineer could come
up with an approximation of the cost of the street improvements
if they were to be developed at the same time.
Councilman McCaron stated he thought the matter should be pur-
sued along those lines that it be determined what the evalua-
tion is and what the costs would be; that it did not make sense
to make a man pick up a line that was reasonably within the
location that it should be in; that since It was within a
future street it would have to be dedicated; that if there
was any further compensation that might be paid to the owners
for their ground that it should be done and done reasonably;
that the subdivider should pay the costs.
As there were no objections, Mayor Crites instructed the
City Attorney to pursue this case in that manner.
City Attorney Flandrick stated that the staff would try to
give the Council a report within the next thirty 30) days
as to what the e$*Lwioted cost of acquisition would be.

City Engineer French reviewed the Traffic Committee Report TRAFFIC PATTERN
regarding the traffic pattern at Puente and Root stating AT PUENTE AND ROOT
that the intersection was widened; that the only thing
not anticipated was the traffic movement and the users
of the intersection would not change their habits to
meet the widening; that there were automobiles cutting
the corners so to speak and pedestrians walking out
through the intersection without regard to the cross-
walks that were installed; that there was quite a traffic
hazard; that he had gone to the point of painting traffic
islands which had no real import; that the people drove
across them anyway; that now what was proposed was that
the City would redo the intersection as far as the traffic
movements and try to make the traffic movements, as much
as possible, to the actual usage of the intersection by the
people; that this would immediately affect this one area
for about two hundred 1200) feet where there would have to be NO PARKING FOR APPROY

of this street joining Puente it required almost 180° BE ELIMINATED
turning movement for the car; that if the traffic was
channeled to permit a 900 turn the people making a left
turn to Puente Avenue were going to conflict so the Traffic
Committee was recommending that the left turns on Puente
Avenue to Root be eliminated; that no change in the pedestrian
movements was recommended; that the only thing that could be
done in this respect was stricter law enforcement and try
to encourage the pedestrians to use the crosswalks that they
have.
Councilman McCaron asked how many people would be affected
by no left turn on Root going to Puente; that it seemed that
there would be an entire subdivision affected.
City Engineer French stated there was a street called
Howellhurst; that any people that would feed back in
that area would come down Puente and make a right turn
on Puente, continue along Puente and make a left turn
on Howellhurst and feed back in there; that this was
a ant that was being done now to a great extent;

had before them three resolutions prepared by the City
Attorney which would initiate the formation of a 1919
Act Lighting District; that Mr. Sagucchi of the firm
of Lockman and Sagucchi was in the audience to answer
any questions the Council might have.

date of filing, in the three resolutions should be changed
to November 17, 1965.
City Attorney Flandrick stated by approving the report
and setting the matter for hearing, the Council was not
committed to the formation of the District.
Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated the proposed=
tax rate was slightly lower than the one that appeared,
on the tax bill this year of $.28; that the proposed
rate was $.27; that in alternate years the tax rate
would fluctuate quite a bit under the existing lighting
districts; that it had been up as high as $.40; that,
in his opinion, if the City took it over the City could
keep the tax rate quite consistent.

recommend to the City Council approval of the reclassifica-
tion; that the Planning Commission also recommended to the
Council that second reading of the Ordinance be held until
all encroachments into the dedicated alley are removed.
He stated it was the staff recommendation that the Council
concur with Resolution No. PC 65-46.
TESTIMONY IN BEHALF OF THE REQUEST WAS CALLED FOR BY MAYOR TESTIMONY IN BEHALF
CRITES.
Mr. Rudy Marquez, 1424 Joan Drive, Hacienda Heights, RUDY MARQUEZ,
stated, in his opinion, the area was ready for a zone 1424 Joan Dr.,
change; that-the street had just been widened and curb Hacienda Heights
and gutter put in; that he would Iike to develop the rest
of the property he had; that he had been working under a
variance that he had obtained, from the.County ten years
ago; that as far as the alley was concerned he knew what
to do about his own but what could he do with the neighbors
on both sides from Barnes to Syracuse.
City Attorney Flandrick stated, in his opinion, it was not
proper to expect or to even ask the applicant to do any-
thing about the alley other than that portion immediately
adjacent to his property; that, in his opinion, it was the
City's responsibility to do one of two things: either clear
the alley out in terms of structures and so forth or in the
alternative perhaps a vacation would be in order; that he
was sure the staff and Commission would perhaps have some
comment on that; that the applicant could not do anything
about anything his neighbors did and this was not his, problem.
Mr. Marquez stated he did not have any..encroachments on
the alley.
At the suggestion of City Attorney Flandrick, City Engineer
French stated that the Engineering Department would contact
the property owners and recommend what action would be
necessary.
In answer to questions by Councilman McCaron., Mr. Marquez
stated he had lived in the house behind the barber shop
for eight 18) years; that he now rented it out.
Planning Director Chivetta stated if the applicant obtained
the reclassification and then wished to develop the property
he would have to raze what was there in order to develop
to C-2 or an alternative would be to apply for a variance
to vary with the legal nonconforming section of the
ordinance.
In answer to a question by Councilman McCaron, Mr.
Marquez stated Lots 18 and 19 were vacant; that there,,
was an old residence on Lots 16 and 17; that on Lots
20 and 21 there was a real nice home which he had
lived in; that he got it there as a variance when he
put the barber shop in front; that he put a six foot
block wall around it; that he was going to leave
Lots 20 and 21 as they were for the time being; that
he wanted to clear off and build on Lots 16, 17,
18 and 19.
City Attorney Flandrick stated perhaps the Council might
like to Inquire of the applicant as to whether he would
be willing or if it was feasible to combine these lots
in a single lot or two single lots combining to two
twenty-five 125) foot frontages; that the Council might
wish to consider this in terms of future development.
In answer to a question by Councilman Adair, Mr. Marquez
stated his idea was to build along the back leaving
room for the alley; that he would be willing to combine
Lots 16 and 17 and Lots 18 and 19; that he did not have
any intention of selling; that he wanted to develop it
himself; that three 3) fifty 1501 foot lots would be

City Attorney Flandrick stated if the Council'wished Mr.
Marquez could be asked to sign three 3) separate
documents combining Lots 16 and 17 as a single'lot,
Lots 18 and. 19 as a single lot, and Lots 20 and 21 as
a single lot.
Mr. Marquez stated he wanted to develop Lots 18 and 19
now; that, later on he would clear off Lots 16 and 17 and
develop those.

in behalf of or in opposition to Z-279, Mayor Crites, declared DECLARED CLOSED
the public hearing closed. Z-279
Discussion followed regarding three 3) covenant and
agreements to combine the lots; that the second reading
of the ordinance could be held on Lots 18 and 19 and Lots
20 and 21 and take action on Lots 16 and 17 at this time;
that this could be accomplished with, three ordinances.
As there were no objections, Mayor Crites reopened the P.H. ON Z-279
public hearing on Z-279. REOPENED
Mr. Marquez stated as he understood Lots 18 and 19 would
be changed to C-2 right now; that Lots 16 and 17 would
be left as they were and he would-have to apply for the
rezoning later.
City Attorney Flandrick stated if he understood the
Council's direction that the rezoning was to take place
on Lots I8 and 19 as soon as the law permits the adoption
of the ordinance; that a second ordinance would cover
Lots 16 and 17 but apparently would be held and would
not be adopted; that no further application or hearing
would be required but it would be held until the buildings 2ND READING OF ORD.
located on Lots 16 and 17 were demolished and that Lots TO BE HELD ON LOTS
20 and 21 would be in the same category. 16 AND 17 UNTIL
BLDGS. DEMOLISHED
Councilman McCaron stated he did not think necessarily
Lots 20 and 21 should be held as he was using the
property commercially but he did believe that Lots 16
and 17 should be held up.
City Attorney Flandrick stated that a single ordinance
could be presented rezoning Lots 18, 19, 20 and 21 and
a second ordinance on Lots 16 and 17.
Councilman McCaron stated it should be explained to the
applicant that this meant if it Lots 20 and 21) went
to C-2 at the present time any improvement to the house
behind the barber shop would require a variance.
Mr. Marquez stated there was more room to build on Lots
20 and 21; that when the time came he would be willing
to give up the residence in the back and use it for
storage or something; that he would not do this right
away.
As there was no one else in the audience desiring to
speak in behalf of or in opposition to Z-279, Mayor
Crites again declared the public hearing Closed.
As there were no objections, Mayor Crites instructed the

Planning Director Chivetta presented a resume of the case RESUME
stating that Mr. Burns reason for appealing the Board's
decision was based on the amount of street dedication and
improvement for future widening of Clark Street that he
would be required to accomplish prior to obtaining final
approval for the proposed garage. He stated it was the
recommendation of the staff that the City Council concur
with the Board's Resolution No. BZA 65-66 adopted on
October 13, 1965. He pointed out the map on the wall
showing the existing zoning and a plot plan.
TESTIMONY IN BEHALF OF THE REQUEST WAS CALLED FOR BY TESTIMONY IN BEHALF
MAYOR CRITES.
Mr. W. L. Burns, 14224 Clark Street, Baldwin Park, stated W. L. BURNS, 14224
he was protesting the donation.of the five 5) foot of Clark St., B.Pk.
property and all the expenses of.widening the street;
that as far as he was concerned the road was now adequate
to take care of all of the traffic; that when the shopping
center goes in and the traffic was heavier it was certainly
not the obligation of the tax payers along Clark to pay for;
that this was a City matter; that if the street was widened
the City was going to have to pay for that property; that
the City could not expect the property owners to donate it.
In answer to a question by Councilman McCaron, City
Engineer French stated the width of the pavement at
this time was forty 40) feet; that there was no
widening of the street itself taking place; that
the requirement of Mr. Burns was a dedication of
five 5) feet and not the widening of the street but
the installation of sidewalks similar to what was
required of the shopping center; that in Mr. Burns'
letter he notes that there was a forty 40) foot street
and a ten 10) foot parkway; that was the problem; that
there was only five 5) feet behind the curb and the
standard for Baldwin Park was ten 10) feet.
Discussion followed.
Councilman Morehead stated over a period of months
and years there had been quite a bit of private
improvement throughout the City such as Mr. Burns
proposed; that for quite some time on an improvement
such as this, in order to get this variance a property
owner had been required to dedicate and put in the street
improvements.
Further discussion followed.
Councilman Morehead stated his understanding of the
Board of Zoning Adjustments requirements was-that Mr. Burns was only
opposing the five 51 foot dedication and the improve-
ment of the sidewalk and that was all that was required
for him to get this variance.

Crespo's property which the staff had taken. He stated
the staff was of the opinion that the Board's approval
for both cases was not unreasonable nor could the ae•:elop-
ment as proposed by Dr. Kournas be considered as becoming
detrimental to the surrounding properties and it w:?_- therefore
the staff's recommendation that the Council concur with
Resolution BZA 65-63 and BZA 65-64. He pointed out on the
wall a rendering of the subject property showing the pro-
posed convalescent hospital complex, a plot plan sou+wing
the property and the structures as they would exist on the
parcel and the parking to be provided and a map showing
the existing zoning of the area. He further pointed out
that Mr. Crespo's property was located directly to the
rear of the proposed development and was only accessible
through the parking lot of Chardon's Restaurant or around
through an easement that could be taken as an alley.
TESTIMONY IN BEHALF OF THE REQUEST WAS CALLED FOR BY TESTIMONY IN BEHALF
MAYOR CRITES.
Mr. Milton Hadley, Attorney for Dr. Koumas, 14304 East MILTON HADLEY, ATTY.
Ramona Boulevard, stated as was indicated by the Planning FOR DR. KOUMAS, 1430''
Director these two ordinances were approved by the E. Ramona Blvd.
Board of Zoning Adjustments; that he thought the Council
would be acting as the Appellate or Supreme Court and
looking to the sufficiency of the evidence as to whether
there was sufficient evidence to support the finding
of the Board of Zoning Adjustments; that at this time
he thought one of the prime considerations that must be
looked to as far as Baldwin Park was concerned was the
effect that this would have upon the community in a
long range plan; that there had been population studies
made, Baldwin Park being presently a town of something
over 40,000 people with the area served by the Citrus
Court being populated with 350,000 to 400,000 people;
that by 1970 it was anticipated that the area served by
the Citrus Court would have a population of something
over 700,000; that this meant that Baldwin Park likewise
was going to have a tremendous population influx within
the next ten 10) years; that facilities had to be
provided for this population of which this proposal was
anticipated, this being a convalescent hospital to
supplement the various hospitals within the area to
provide a convalescent home for patients who were
recuperating; that this establishment would cost in
excess of $300,000.00; that the property belonging to
the party making this appeal had some valuation, basing
on $.50 per square foot it being approximately 5,000
square foot, of approximately $2500.00 against a
$300,000.00 establishment; that the taxes, based on the
formula that Watson had set forth the comparative tax
bases, would indicate the convalescent home paying taxes
something In the neighborhood of $7,000.00 whereas the
party appealing this action presently pays taxes of
approximately $60.00 if it was valued somewhere in the
neighborhood of fair market value of $2500.00; that this
establishment if approved would not add any additional
burden on the schools; that it would bring in a sizeable
amount of revenue; that it was contended that this
particular property would be damaged by reason of
construction of this hospital; that this was a substandard
residence which was probably nonconforming and subject
to condemnation; that he did not think, in his opinion,
that it would be damaged in any way; that it was presently
for sale; that there were for sale signs posted on the
property; that it was practically landlocked; that there
was some conversation between the representative of the
appellate in this matter, Mr. Crespo, and Dr. Koumas
wherein Mr. Crespo indicated that perhaps he had a family
and perhaps he would like to build a larger house on this
property; that as far as he could see this was a matter
of fantasy to remove this house and build a larger more
expensive home on this piece of property which was land-
locked as it was with only prescriptive or an easement

by necessity to gain access to his particular piece of
property; that the piece of property which was shown in
these photographs was, at one time, from the informa-
tion that he could discover a portion of property that
ran along beside Chardon's Restaurant all the way back
to where this house was located; that there was at some
time evidently a lot split which had created this small
50 x 100 foot lot to the rear back in the center of
the whole block; that he did not see that there could be
any damage to the home or to the residence of Mr. Crespo;
that the plans for this convalescent hospital set forth
that the height of the hospital would be no more than
ten 110) feet high; that actually it would be somewhat
less than ten 10) feet high; that it would be set back
some five 151 feet from the property line; that there
would be a concrete or masonry wall around the premises
which would be six 16) feet high; that this was as
recommended and a conditiona that was placed on the
conditional use permit; that they therefore had some-
thing less than four 41 feet additional height five 15)
feet away from the property which Mr. Crespo contended
would tend to devalue his property; that in this particular
instance the balancing of the equities involved had to be
looked at; that on one hand they were upgrading this area
with the establishment of something in excess of $300,000.00;
that on the other hand there was some incentive created
here by Mr. Crespo to utilize his property to something
other than its present use; certainly Its present use as
it was now constructed was not going to be usable for much
longer; that it was the position of Dr. Koumas that this
would have no adverse effect upon the adjacent property;
that he had checked both with the property owner to the
west, who was in favor of this undertaking; that he had
checked with the property owners to the east, who were
the owners of the Chardon Restaurant, and the Snyders
Market; that they, likewise, were very favorable to this
type of a development; that Or. Koumas had associates
in this matter who would be partially interested in
this development; that this would be solely owned and
developed by local doctors; being Dr. Koumas, Or.
Laskowski, Dr. Foster, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Hagerman and Dr.
Jacobson; that in his opinion and in the opinion of the
developers this establishment would be something that
the City could be proud of; that it had a Spanish motif
in its decorations; that Dr. Koumas and his associates
accepted the conditions imposed by the Board of Zoning
Adjustments and would readily comply therewith; that he
had a photograph of the rendering which was presented
to the Board of Zoning Adjustments for the Council's
inspection.
City Attorney Flandrick stated this picture should be
market as an exhibit; that with all due respect to
Mr. Hadley the Council was not the Supreme Court and
the analogy did not stand up; that the Council must
conduct a public hearing to determine whether the
zoning variance should be granted and whether the
conditional use permit should be granted in the same
manner as the Board of Zoning Adjustments; that the
same facts were required to be shown and so forth.
Mr. Hadley stated Dr. Koumas was in the audience and
would answer any questions concerning the exact facilities
that were proposed or that would be given at the convalescent
hospital; that the architect who prepared the plans was
sks present.

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Mr. August J. Goebel, Attorney at law, 3935 East Huntington
Drive, Pasadena, stated he was associated on this matter
with Mr. Dale Castleton, an attorney from Arcadia; that
they jointly represented Mr. and Mrs. Israel Crespo, owners
of the real property at 4025 North La Rica which property
abuts the property of Dr. Koumas on the north; that he had
Mr. Crespo present if there were any questions to ask of
him; that he appreciated the opportunity to speak to each
of the Council and appreciated the comments of the City
Attorney which saved him from having to point out that
as he understood the law in.these matters this was a
hearing de novo and for that reason they were in substance
starting all over again; that he wanted to ask the Plan-
ning Director or the architect or Dr. Koumas and his
associates the front yard setback for the building as
proposed.
Planning Director Chivetta stated that the Code required
a ten 10) foot front yard setback; that the applicant
was meeting this requirement; that the applicant was not
exceeding the requirement of the front yard setback; that
there was an overhang which was permissive to encroach
into the front yard setback.
Mr. August J. Goebel stated that while they as counsel for
Mr. and Mrs. Crespo appealed both decisions they were not
so much concerned with the intended use to be made of the
land, namely the conditional use permit granted but they
were more concerned with the manner in which it was to be
used, namely, the granting of the variance for the five 5)
foot rear yard setback; that members of the Council had
been shown photos this evening; that he had been on the
property and had inspected the file of the Planning Depart-
ment; that he recognized the proposed development of Dr.
Koumas would in all probability enhance this property and
enhance an area that could well stand some improvement,
particularly the frontage on Ramona Boulevard; that he had
no quarrel with this; that the basic issue as presented was
as this zone variance that had been granted effects the
property owned by Mr. and Mrs. Crespo; that he would like
to point out that Mr. and Mrs. Crespo were not Johnny
come Letelys"; that they purchased this property as their
home in 1954; that they resided there continuously since
that time; that they resided there now with their six 6)
children; that he would also point out that they owned
this home free of encumbrance; that he also recognized
and it was obvious from the pictures that this was a
little house and it was not in the best of condition; that
this home was their castle; that he was amazed to hear Mr.
Hadley blithely skip over the rights of a home owner and
say that this development was going to be a $300,000.00
development and Mr. and Mrs. Crespo sit there, in his
opinion, with property worth $2500.00; that he points out
the tax advantages to public agencies; that this, he did
not think should be a determining criteria; that two of
the bedrooms of the house were to the rear of the house
or immediately abutting the property of Dr. Koumas; that
in these two bedrooms sleep four young girls; that this
property of Mr. and Mrs. Crespo, he was sure, was not
in excess of five 5) feet from a rather run down fence;
that he was too aware of the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Crespo
have had this property up for sale for some time, in fact,
since 1963, which incidently was the same time, that he
understood from the application, that Dr. Koumas purchased
his property; that it was obvious that it had not sold;
that it was likewise obvious from what Mr. Hadley told here
this evening that it was not going to sell; that it was
likewise obvious that Mr. and Mrs. Crespo were therefore
going to have to stay there; that they had talked about

property free and clear they had some chance, however, to

put up a new home certainly they were going to have to
obtain a construction loan; that he thought all anyone
would need to do was try to envisage a lending institu-
tion making a residential construction loan on this
particular property with a convalescent hospital located
some five 5) feet away from'a block well six 161 feet
high, the hospital being ten 10) feet high; that in
substance there was a bedroom about ten 10) feet away
from the building itself; that the resolution adopted and
presented by the Board of Zoning Adjustments stated facts
required by Section 9471 of the variance
ordinance of Baldwin Park. He read the first fact
required and read what the applicant had stated in their
application in answer to this question stating that the
design was not a magic design; that design could be changed;
that he would submit that the answer really said nothing
other than they want to use all available property to the
maximum use; that he would submit that those were not
exceptional circumstances; that everyone wants to use
their property to the maximum, however, City Councils
generally have to cause some limitation to the use that
people make of property. He read the second fact required
and read what the applicant had stated in their application
in answer to this question stating that he did not see
anything about preservation and enjoyment of substantial
property rights; that nothing was said about rights
possessed by other properties similarly situated to a
five 5) foot rear yard so we"must assume that other
property similarly situated just did not have this
right. He read the third fact required and read what
the applicant had stated in their application in answer
to this question stating here was the crux, of the whole
problem; that this was the reason that he was here,
namely, the effect on Mr. and Mrs. Crespo's property;
that here was really why they came to the Council as
a public guardian and were seeking help; that first of
all he would say that he regreted that Mr. and Mrs. Crespo
did not make their position known at the first hearing;
that he thought had they done so again probably he would
not be here. He stated let us examine the facts on this
particular issue, the detriment to their property; that
first of all why did cities have setbacks; that he thought
one reason surely was to minimize noise from adjacent
properties and particularly when property was put to
a heavy use; that the application stated there would be
no windows, only an exit; that to him an exit meant a door,
a door meant people and people meant noise some ten 10)
feet or less as the people walked, out, certainly closer
to five 5) feet from a bedroom of four young girls.
Councilman Morehead called attention to the ten minute
time limit for persons addressing the Council and asked
the Chair to allow this gentleman only one, two or three
minutes longer.
Mr. Goebel requested four more minutes.
Mayor Crites granted this request.
Mr. August J. Goebel stated he was takling about setbacks
and there was the matter of fire hazards; that here was
a building being this close to a residence and conversely
a building of this type, the residence being close to
the convalescent hospital, certainly five 51 feet from
the rear property line was too short; that we" certainly
know that a ten 10) foot high building and a six 6) foot
wall where the area between the two was not going to be
planted nor maintained; that these areas became nothing
other than an eye sore and a trash area; that he did not
know from the drawing where the trash collection area
would be but he would assume in all probability it would
be in the rear of the building with further noise. He
read the fourth fact required and read what the applicant
had stated in their application in answer to this question

stating this answer did not state that other properties
where convalescent hospitals were approved were not so
close to residential property as the subject property.
He further stated that going to Chapter 9402 of the
Zoning Ordinance it stated in part as follows The
purpose of this Chapter is to promote the public health,
safety, welfare and general prosperity with the aim of
preserving a wholesome serviceable and active community";
that he would submit that this was a good test for the
Council to apply here; that if the Council upheld this
variance would the Council be promoting public health
would the Council be promoting public safety, would the
Council be promoting public welfare and general prosperity,
would the Council be preserving a wholesome serviceable
and attractive community; that he thought as it affected
Mr. Crespo's property the answer was obvious that the
Council would not. He further stated that he had other
matters that he wanted to cover but he would close with
the request that if the Council seriously, earnestly
considered the appeal and put themselves in the position
of Mr. and Mrs, Crespo with their family living this close
to a convalescent hospital where there was a ten 10) foot
front yard setback it could be only concluded that five 5)
foot was too small for a rear yard setback under these
circumstances; that he earnestly ask that the Council sustain
this appeal and hence deny the variance.
The pictures taken by the staff were handed to Mr. Goebel PICTURES TAKEN BY
to examine. STAFF HANDED TO
MR. GOEBEL TO

In answer to questions by Mr. Goebel, Planning Director
Chivetta stated the pictures were taken by the staff;
that he had made the notations on the picture in black
i nk.
IN REBUTTAL, Mr. Eugene A. Wilkinson, Abbott, Wilkinson EUGENE A. WILKINSON,
and Associates, Architects, 712 East Alosta, Glendora, Abbott, Wilkinson and
stated his rebuttal was being made based on certain state- Associates, Architects,
ments made concerning the valuation of property by a loan 712 E. Alosta,
company; that his business was building, was designing and Glendora
evaluating buildings; that his first statement was to
contradict the enhancement of a loan; that if these
people were thinking of adding to this property in a
residential manner they would not find a lending institu-
tion that would be favorable to them based on this being
a landlocke' piece of property; that he was unaware of
whether they split this property or not but at that time
if they were contemplating any expansion it should have
been done without a lot split as they now became land-
locked and no loan company would go in and risk their
money on a residence on this property; that the second
rebuttal, of course, was personal concerning whether
or not this was a unique design; that he felt it was
the designer; that they planned to take advantage of
the property and they built courts surrounded with build-
ings; that this was why they had the five 5) foot rear
yard setback; that they had a lot of land that was not
used for building purposes within these courts; that this
was for the benefit of the surrounding property as well
as their establishment for noise abatement; that the
problem of the wall in the rear that under any condition,
whether they built within five 5) feet or not,the six
foot masonry wall was required; that anyone within five
5) feet of that wall looking out of a bedroom window was
not going to look over that wall; that the rear wall had
no openings based on fire hazard; that if there were open-
ings in the wall then the residents would be in jeopardy;
that their design was based on keeping the surrounding
property from any jeopardy from the project.

In answer to a question by Councilman McCaron, Mr.
Wilkinson stated that the building was to be one hour
construction completely fire sprinkled.
In answer to a question by Councilman MoCaron, Planning
Director Chivetta stated in the R-1 Zone structures could
not exceed two stories or thirty-five 35) feet In height
whichever was less and a five 5) foot sideyard.
Councilman Morehead explained that Mr. Goebel had stated
that in the event Mr. Crespo rebuilt on the property that
his house would be within five 5) feet of this wall;
that he believed the setback for R-1 was fifteen 15)
feet unless Mr. Crespo came In for a variance.
Planning Director Chivetta stated that what Councilman
Morehead had reference to was a fifteen 15) foot setback
for a rear yard but it would have to be ascertained just
where the rear yard would be.
City Attorney Flandrick stated he would think this being
a rather unique situation, to his knowledge, it was not
covered in the Zoning Ordinance as such and assuming that
the land that was owned by the appealing party was vacant
and he came in for a building permit, in the absence of
an agreement between the Planning and Building Department
as to which was the front yard line or the front line of
the property, it would be a matter for clarification by
Planning Commission and City Council.
Councilman McCaron asked if Mr. Crespo at any time owned
the property in front of him that was now a parking lot.
Mr. August J, Goebel stated he had just asked Mr. Crespo
that question; that he did not own that property; that
in fact it was one of the matters he could not touch upon
because he did not have time; that Mr. Crespo told him
that was changed to a parking lot, that he cane home one
night and the parking lot was in; that Mr. Crespots home
was approximately six 6) feet from the parking lot; that
probably the photos would indicate some reference.
Discussion followed regarding the Chardon's Restaurant and
parking for the restaurant.
As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak PUBLIC HEARINGS
in behalf of or in opposition to ZV-133 and CP-59, Mayor DECLARED CLOSED
Crites declared the public hearings closed. ZV-133 AND CP-59
Councilman McCaron stated they were putting in a court
yard that was enclosed by a building In its entirety and
if this was to be eliminated and put back to a twenty
20) foot setback and a yard put in the back where the
patients would have to use the yard In the back adjacent
to the Crespo property, it would appear to be more of
a detriment to have patients out there where the Crespo's
would be exposed to them more than if they were In an
enclosed area. He stated that there had been mention made
of some motors which he imagined would be equipment motors and
he did not know whether they were to be placed in the back
yard or not.
Planning Director Chivetta stated that mechanical devices
such as compressors and other types should be enclosed
behind a solid screened wall; that it was a requirement
of the Board's resolution that they be enclosed to muffle
any noise but not covered.
In answer to a question by Councilwoman Gregory, Mr.
Wilkinson stated the garden area would be thirty-five
35) by thirty-five 35) feet; that there would be a
six 6) foot square fountain.

Planning Director Chivetta presented a resume of the case RESUME
and stated the Planning Commission had adopted Resolution
No. PC 65-48 denying the request on October 27, 1965.
He stated it was the opinion of the staff that the majority
of the Planning Commission would be in favor of the
applicant's proposal if the proposal were revised to eliminate
the structures from Pasadena and would be in full accord
with the Council if the Council were to make this revision
a condition for approval for the relocation. He pointed
out on the wall some elevation renderings showing the
existing structures, a plot plan and a map showing the
existing zoning of the area.
TESTIMONY IN BEHALF OF THE REQUEST WAS CALLED FOR BY TESTIMONY IN BEHALF
MAYOR CRITES.
Mr. H. L. Lane, 17337 Grovecenter Street, Covina, stated H. L. LANE,
he realized now that he had an opportunity to express if 17337 Grovecenter
he would be willing to delete this one building; that this St., Covina
was why he was back with an appeal to delete this one build-
ing; that in fact it had been deleted; that they no longer
had it; that they would be making some improvements in
the front of the buildings if they were able to put them
in on this lot at a later date when they could arrange
financing; that they also were going to make more improve-
ments to the buildings than the correction sheet would call
for; that they intended to keep the property as an investment;
that he thought there should be consideration of the back-
ground of himself as an applicant and contractor on the project;
that he was asking to read an open letter for the record;
that the letter stated To Whom It May Concern: Mr. Earl
Lane has, in the past five 5) years moved approximately
ten 10) single family homes in this City. I have not
known of any problems created by his construction activity
and workmanship in all cases has been satisfactory. He
has been cooperative and met the restrictions of the City
in all cases. Yours truly, William Fowler, Building and
Safety Director of the City of West Covina".
In answer to a question by Councilman McCaron, it was
explained with the plot plan and shown how the buildings
would be oriented with the deletion of the buildings from
Pasadena.
In answer to questions by Councilman McCaron, Planning
Director Chivetta stated the proposed development would
meet all of the required setbacks in the R-3 zone; that the
property now was a legal nonconforming use and the single
family dwelling would have to be razed or connected in
such a manner to make the complex appear as one which the
applicant was proposing to do.

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Councilman;McCaran stated that-in the center of,this block,.
there had been a design made for a future street and asked
if this property had any bearing on that-street,
Planning Director Chivetta stated there was no street
proposed to the rear on the Community Design Element.
City Attorney Flandrick stated that Mr. Lane was advised
at the time of the hearing before-the Planning Commission
that by reason of the existence of the single family dwell-
ing complex in front, this would be a nonconforming use
due to the zoning and if it was going to be approved he
would either have to eliminate and remove the existing
structure or apply for a zone variance because of its
nonconforming status.
Mr. Lane stated he thought that was cleared up by joining
the building with the other structures; that he understood
this building would then become a multiple dwelling and it
would be conforming.
City Attorney Flandrick stated that apparently would be
another solution to the problem as long as it met the
Building Codes.
As there was no one else in the audience desiring to
speak In behalf of or In opposition to R-149, Mayor Crites
declared the public hearing closed.
Further discussion followed regarding the possibility of a
future street to the rear.
As there were no objections, Mayor Crites declared the
public hearing reopened.
Mr. Lane stated the property was zoned R-3, therefore it
was desirable to develop multiple structures; that there
was already development on both sides of this particular
lot and at the rear not too far from the rear property
line; that he doubted that the property owners would want
a street in there.
Councilman McCaron brought out that there had been a zone
change denied in this area because of the possibility of a
future street plan.
Mr. Lane stated he had to have the buildings off of the
site by December 4, 1965.
As there was no one else In the audience desiring to
speak In behalf of or in opposition to R-149, Mayor Crites
again closed the public hearing.
COUNCILMAN MOREHEAD MOVED THAT R-149 BE APPROVED WITH THE
DELETION OF THE PROPERTY AT 235-257 MULLBERRY STREET IN
PASADENA. COUNCILMAN ADAIR SECONDED. The motion carried

Planning Director Chivetta stated he would see if there
was anything in the files that related to such',a'street
and bring It before the Planning Commission for their
recommendation.
City Clerk Balkus announced that it was the time and place
fixed for a public hearing on a Short Form 1911 Act for the
improvement of curbs, gutters and sidewalks on the south
side of Pacific Avenue between Big Dalton Avenue and Puente
Avenue.
City Clerk Balkus stated that proper postings`and mailings
had been accomplished and that no written protests had
been received.
City Engineer French stated this matter was set for public
hearing by Resolution No. 65-163.
TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS WAS
CALLED FOR BY MAYOR CRITES.
Clara Franklin, 14850 East Ramona Boulevard, Baldwin Park,
stated she wanted to know what they intended to do and If
the property would be graded for drainage; that there had
been problems with her driveway; that she was not protest-
ing but wanted a better job than she had received as re-
gards drainage; that they had ruined her driveway on
Howellhurst.
City Engineer French stated Mrs,. Franklin's problem con-
cerned a 1911 Act improvement on.Howellhurst which was done
In 1959 and there was a problem where Howe llhurst came
into Puente; that this problem was solved. He further
stated that before the Council now was the installation of
curbs and gutters that would adjoin existing curb and
gutter on both sides of Mrs. Franklin's property; that
there were four properties involved and they were all In
one section on Pacific between Puente and Big Dalton on the
south side; that this curb and gutter would be put in at
the grade already established; that it would be constructed
with the City's standards and it would drain; that if Mrs.
Franklin had a drive there, and he was sure she did, there
would be a cement apron constructed and it would be con-
structed in such a manner that It would hold the water
within the street area to the top of curb grade.
Clara Franklin asked what the cost would be per foot.
City,.Engineer French stated in round numbers Including the
drive It would be approximately $5.00 to $5.50 per foot
for curb, gutter and sidewalk.
As there was no one else In the audience desiring to speak

City Clerk Balkus announced that It was the time and place

Councilman McCaron stated he thought there should:be a time
limitation set on Ordinance No. 432 which was being held
for second' reading.
City Attorney Flandrick stated the applicant would have to
be contacted to obtain his signature on the covenant for
the single parcel situation; that the staff could.inquire
at that time as to approximately when he expected any
development on that property and advise the Council at the
next meeting,
Councilman Morehead asked if it would be legal and proper
for the Council to consider adopting an ordinance that would
cover all rezonings and within six months to one year's time
if this property was not developed as applied for in the
zoning it would automatically revert back to.tbe previous
zoning.
City Attorney Flandrick stated this was the device used by
Lakewood, Pico Rivera and one or two other cities; that in
the particular ordinance that was rezoning the property
they put a condition in saying that if development did not
take place by the way of b.uilding.permits on the property
and construction within either a period of time or a set
date, the effect of the ordinance was terminated-and the
property reverted to its prior status as to zoning classifi-
cation.
Councilman Morehead stated what he had.in mind.was.a separate
ordinance stating that any property that was rezoned if
it was not developed according to the application it would
automatically revert back to the zoning prior to the applica-
tion.
City Attorney Flandrick stated he thought the legal effect
would be the same; that he did not think an ordinance of
this type could be upheld but some of the cities were
doing it and it seemed to be reasonably effective.
Councilman Morehead suggested that the Planning Department
could keep a record of all rezonings and if the rezoning
was not improved within a certain length of time Council
would initiate the rezoning.
City Attorney Flandrick stated this could be done; that
the Council would have to go through hearings again.
Councilman McCaron suggested that there should be a safe-
guard or procedure set up to where if a zoning was allowed
for a specific use that was the type of use that had to go
in.

Regular, Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
City Attorney Flandrick stated he thought the Planning
Commission was studying this-.very problem now; that they
were presently considering' same changes in the R-1 regula-
tions; that he thought he recalled their comments that
they wished to take on next the commercial zones and
rec I,ess i f.y the types of uses and perhaps create some new
Zone" designations.
Councilman McCaron stated this was not entirely hitting
the point he was talking about regarding rezoning of
specific cases such as Francisquito and Baldwin Park
Boulevard; that this rezoning was done with the intention
that there was a complete shopping center to be set into
this area.
Planning Director Chivetta mentioned the possibility of a
Resolution of Intent to reclassify the property when cer-
tain conditions were complied with such as street widening,
building permit, ground breaking, site planapproved by,
the Council and soforth.
Discussion. followed regarding the C-2A zoning; that this:
was created to keep indtvidui'property owners from
developing helter skelter; that there was no use to-
deve-lop,an area that was not going to be any better than,'
it was before.
Planning Director Chivetta stated, in his opinion, this
was a means of conditioning a zone change C-2A); that this
had been used by some municipalities; that he did not think
this was actually a solution; that it had created a pro-
blem because it had deterred development because it had
increased.the price of property; that maybe-this,,would-be
one of the areas that Councilman McCaron was referring to
that maybe the Council or someone should initiate a public
hearing to reclassify the property back to its original
zoning, then as developers came in then reclassify with
some controls.
