within a forty-five 45) foot dedicated right-of-way; that
this would-redoep the cost and at least allow the street
to come through and as the area was further developed the
sidewalks could then be installed In that section in the
future; that even this extension would require the taking
of one structure; that it was the recommendation that the
Council approve the circulation In accordance with the
conditions as outlined.
Councilman hlcCaron asked how much of the lot would have
to be taken to move the street over to get the full width.
City Engineer French stated approximately ten 10) feet;
that the problem was that previously there was a sub-
division approved and developed and it dead-ended abut-
ting the rear of this property and the street was
developed to this point; that the houses were fairly close
to this private street; that there wtulld be a little pro-
blem realigning the street south of where the proposed
extension was; that the ownership would have to be
split either way, and the proposed plan would have less
effect on the remaining two structures.
Councilman McCaron asked if sidewalks would be on one side
only.
City Engineer French stated that sidewalks were not pro-
posed on either side; that sidewalks could be put on one
side by making an adjustment in the street.
Councilman McCaron stated that as many sidewalks as possible
should be acquired; that, one side would be better than none.
In answer to a question by Mayor Crites, City Engineer French
stated there would have to be minor adjustments; that he
would have to recheck the aerial maps and the site, however,
he believed the sidewalks could be put on the east side;
that if the Council approved sidewatks on one side through''
this area he would make Exhibit A showing which side the
sidewalks would be one; that it would probably-require a
ftttie•r'gworking of the end of the private street.
COUNCILMAN MCCARON MOVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZE THE
ISSUANCE OF THE PETITION FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS OF BOGART AS
SHOWN ON EXHIBIT A WITH THE ADDITIONAL SIDEWALKS ON ONE.SIDE.
City Attorney Flandrick asked if there was some reason
for excluding the lots marked 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5; that it
appeared they would benefit equally for the purpose of
the district.
City Engineer French stated the lots were a subdivision
recently approved; that curbs, gutters, sidewalks, street
lights and street paving were.aiready in there; that Lot 5
might have to be included to make the adjustments to get
the sidewalk in.

City Clerk Balkus announced that the hour of 8:00 p.m.
having arrived that it was the time and place fixed for
a public hearing on Z-278, an appeal from the denial of
the Planning Commission, an application submitted by
Jesse H. Shelby for a Zone Change from Zone R-I single
family residential) to Zone R-2 light multiple
residential) or more restrictive use upon a parcel of
land located at 4450 Merced Avenue.
City Clerk Balkus stated that'proper publication,.postings
and mailings had been accomplished.
Planning Director Chivetta presented a resume of the case.
and stated that the Planning Commission had adopted
Resolution No. PC 65-45 on October 27, 1965, denying
the request. He pointed out the map on the wall'showing
the existing zoning of the area. He further stated that
the applicant had previously applied for a lot split,
Lot Split No. 654, which had not been consumated; that
the improvements and dedications had not been made to
comply with the conditions of the resolution.
TESTIMONY IN BEHALF OF THE REQUEST WAS CALLED FOR BY
MAYOR CRITES.
Mr. Jesse H. Shelby, 4450 North Merced, Baldwin Park,
stated it was true that they had asked for a lot split on
this property; that he had appeared before the Council on
the lot split and made the statement that he would move
stakes back to conform with the wishes of the Council from
eighty-five 85) feet to one hundred sixty 160) feet pro-
viding he would have enough footage to build two homes on
one hundred sixty 160) feet; that previously there was no
opposition voiced and he assumed it would be allowed so he
had the stakes moved back to one hundred sixty 160) feet
and then as he talked to builders they suggested the
area be rezoned to R-2; that the reason he felt they should
have R-2 property there was the fact that it was rezoned R-I
after many homes had been built in there before the City
incorporated; that the way the homes were built in the area
was no fault of the City; that nevertheless these conditions
existed and when they existed and one owned property in that
vicinity one had to look out for the value of the property;
that taking sixty-six 66) foot widths, assuming that the
lots would be split into equal parts one hundred thirty 1301
foot deep, there would still be much more square footage than
the area now had; that almost directly across the street
there was an acre of land the same as this property; that
the acre was subdivided and there were seven 7) homes built
on the acre; that immediately to the south there was a
twenty-six 26) unit apartment building; that immediately in
the rear of the property there was an acre with seven homes
built on it; that, of course, the Council realized what an
acre was after easements, street allowances and so forth;
that seven homes on an acre cuts It down to barely the
minimum; that within one hundred thirty-two 132) feet of
their property was C-I property; that also within one hundred
thirty-two 132) feet of their property there was R-3 property;

that on one of the properties there were sixteen-units built;
that he was practically surrounded with multiple buildings;
that it would be fine with him to build a nice home on a
8,000 to 10,000 square foot lot providing it was in surround-
ings where the value would exist with the improvements; that
anyone who had been dealing with real estate realizes this
property would depreciate in value if it was built with a,
single family unit and multiple units were in the surround-
ing neighborhood; that immediately north there was an acre
of land, however it showed on the records that it might have
been split, but on one side there was four buildings on it;
that one-half a block down the street and across the street
there were at least two homes built toward the front of the
property already; that these conditions were going to exist
he would estimate for at least thirty 30) to thirty-five
135) years; that to build an extra house in the back would
give him more value for his property; that he had had two
appraisals on this property, one being from a lending
institution; that they seemed to think the Idea was all
right; that he had a commitment from a builder who thought
the idea was all right; that he did not really know what
the Planning Commission did think about it because he did
not hear too much said about it from the Planning Commission
other than a motion to deny and he thought and felt that was
probably because of some erroneous and surmising reporting;
that there appeared in front of their property about two
days before the hearing a real estate sign stating for
sale"; that it seemed the Planning Director saw this sign
or was advised of it; that the realtor to whom the sign
belonged could not give any information as to how the sign
got there; that possibly the Planning Commission felt they
were trying to put one over on them; that in the form letter
he received from the Secretary of the Planning Commission it
simply stated that it did not comply with the general
prosperity of the neighborhood; that, of course, at the
public hearing he did not hear anything about any of this;
that at least twenty 20) of his neighbors had signed
after he explained what he had in mind to do; that apparently
there were no objections as there were none voiced at the
Planning Commission meeting and apparently there was no one
here this evening to object.
Councilman McCaron stated he remembered this particular
parcel was brought up before the Council at the time the lot
split was granted. He asked if dedication had been made on
Merced and for the future street in the rear.
City Engineer French stated no.
Councilman McCaron asked if there was any reason for this
being held up.
Mr. Shelby stated yes there were two reasons; that he had
assumed the dedication would be consumated in escrow;
that the second reason was that in the resolution there
was considerable amount of money required and through
the procedure that he had planned he would be able to
comply with the City's request, dedicate the land to
the City and bring everything up to Code.
City Attorney Flandrick stated there had been a time
extension granted on the lot split through February as
he recalled.
In answer to a question by Councilman McCaron, Mr. Shelby
stated the commitment he had on some loans included that
they would be deeded as separate parcels, A, B. C, and D;

for the Jerry side; that he had asked the Planning
Councilman McCaron asked if it was Mr. Shelby's intention-
to develop the entire property at this time.
Mr. Shelby stated no; that the City wanted approximately
$2,500.00 for Jerry Street; that Merced would run about
the same; that he did not want to develop the Jerry side
until the street was in because the property would not
be very valuable sitting back there on a vacant street
that might be dedicated and might not be dedicated in
ten years; that he wanted to improve the one hundred
sixty 160) feet, two parcels, and leave the Jerry side
open until the street was dedicated and in.
Councilman McCaron asked how long it would be before the
new ordinance that the Planning Commission was working on
would be ready to allow construction on property similar
to R-I where there was sufficient ground but no access.
Planning Director Chivetta stated the Planning Commission
would be conducting a public hearing on this matter on
December 22, 1965; that shortly thereafter they would be
recommending to the Council an amendment of the R-I
regulations to include this provision.
In answer to a question by Councilman McCaron, Planning
Director Chivetta stated he would need 2500 square foot of
lot area per unit but could only put a maximum of two or
a condominium as defined by State Law; that he would be
limited to two on any lot regardless of the size of the
property.
In answer to a question by Councilman McCaron, City
Attorney Flandrick stated that no other property could
be included in the zone change but the Council could
reduce the area included in the zone change.
As there was no one else in the audience desiring to PUBLIC HEARING
speak in behalf of or in opposition to Z-278, Mayor DECLARED CLOSED

Councilman McCaron stated it would appear that if the
R-2 was allowed on the first one hundred sixty 160) feet
that second reading should be held until the provisions
of the lot split were complied with.
Councilwoman Gregory asked if this would make the rear
portion nonconforming.
City Attorney Flandrick stated he did not believe it
would be nonconforming.
Planning Director Chivetta stated there were no structures
on the rear; that the rezoning would be following the lot
line; that the rear would be R-l and the front on Merced
would be R-2.
In answer to a question by-Councilman McCaron, City Engineer
French stated the Engineering Department had just received
a petition signed by over sixty percent 60%) of the pro-
perty owners involved for the improvement of Jerry Avenue
under the 1911 Act procedure.

Councilman McCaron asked if there was dedication for
the cul-de-sac on the R-3 property.
City Engineer French stated there was no actual dedica-
tion but the R-3 property that was developed, was developed
to allow for the dedication; that the people who owned the
R-3 property were convinced they had made the dedication
but there was no record of it being made.
As there were no objections, Mayor Crites declared the
public hearing on Z-278 reopened.
Mr. L. E. Ferguson, 4490 Cutler, Baldwin Park, stated
they had built the apartment house that was just mentioned
and they definitely had made formal dedication of the
property in the rear at that time, however, they still
owned the property and they would be most happy to make
the dedication again free of charge.
Councilwoman Gregory asked how many pieces of property
in the City were divided in zoning such as was being
discussed in this case.
Planning Director Chivetta stated this would open the
door for many such parcels; that there were many pro-
perties throughout Baldwin Park that this could reasonably
happen on; that it was his recommendation instead of
rezoning to have the applicant apply for a variance.
In answer to a question by Mayor Crites, Planning Director
Chivetta stated it would be his recommendation that the
entire parcel be reclassified; that the applicant could
still build a single family dwelling on each one of the
rear portions without a variance.
Discussion followed regarding the improvement of Jerry.
Councilman McCaron stated he would not be in favor of
making all the area R-2 because the surroundings and
everything that was to be developed on Jerry Street
should remain R-I.
Planning Director Chivetta stated it was brought out
that the deep lots front on Merced, not on Jerry. He
pointed out on a map on the wall the original lot split
and the adjustment of the lines so that the deep lots
fronted on Merced.
Councilwoman Gregory asked if this would have something
to do with the deep lot study that the Planning Commission
was now involved in.
Planning Director Chivetta stated with regulations on deep
lots an R-2 zone would not be necessary.
Further discussion followed.
As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak
in behalf of or in opposition to Z-278, Mayor Crites again
declared the public hearing closed.

than that the property remained in the same condition as
shown in the pictures; that the main building was
approximately forty 40) to fifty 501 years of age accord-
ing to the Building Superintendent's best estimate based on
the type of construction; that the building contained
approximately 1,000 square feet of area; that the area
surrounding the building had considerable building debris
as well as a number of tires on the rear of the lot; that
the staff's recommendation was that the Council order this
abated as a public nuisance since it clearly constituted ime;
that the surrounding area where the debris was located was
certainly a breeding ground for possible rodents; that it
was also apparently a playground for some of the younger
children living in the immediate area.

Planning Director Chivetta presented a resume of the case RESUME
and stated the Board of Zoning Adjustments had adopted
Resolution No. 65-77 on November 10, 1965, denying the
request. He pointed out on the wall the lot~spli map
presented by the applicant, stating that Parcel I of this
request was originally Parcel 3 of previous Lot Split
No. 216 which created three parcels; that Parcel 3 had
frontage on the future street Jerry and the condition
at that time that the applicant install curbs, gutters
and sidewalks, street paving and dedicate along Jerry
and Merced; that there was an access easement at that
time to get back to the rear portion, then at such
time as Jerry was, completed the property would then
have frontage and the access easement would not be
needed; that the applicant had now applied for another
lot split creating three parcels; that Parcel 3 of
Lot Split No. 216 would now be Parcel I which was
an interior lot; that there would be five parcels created
by the two lot splits; that the lot split had been denied
because it would create an interior lot, without proper
street frontage.
City Attorney Flandrick stated'this was the first occasion
since the lot split ordinance was amended in July 1965,
that the Council had had an appeal from the Board of
Zoning Adjustments. He reviewed the facts required to
be found before the Council could grant the lot split.
TESTIMONY IN BEHALF OF THE REQUEST WAS CALLED FOR BY TESTIMONY IN BEHALF
MAYOR CRITES.
Mr. I.E. Ferguson, 4490 Cutler, Baldwin Park, stated their L.E. FERGUSON,
reason for the appeal was that by the original intent the 4490 Cutler, B.Pk.
interior lot was created by Lot Split No. 216; that this
was their argument to the Board of Zoning Adjustments and
they felt it was still a good argument; that as Mr. Chivetta
mentioned Lot Split No. 216 required a thirty 30) foot
dedication on Jerry Street; that there was quite a lengthy
discussion concerning Jerry Street when the matter was
before the Board of Zoning Adjustments; that the Board,
he felt, was led to believe that Jerry Street was a new
street and had not been planned very. long; that this was
not the case; that this dedication was taken in 1959;
consequently he would say that Jerry Street was one of
the oldest planned streets in the City of Baldwin Park;
that certainly the Council could see the necessity of
having an improved street back there simply if for no
other reason than for fire circulation as there was only
one way to get into this property; that there were several
other parcels of property both on the north and on the
south that have not been dedicated to the City that
could be improved; that the street could very soon be
put in; that there was no reason for It not being in;
that he would imagine there were several cash deposits
on file with the City now; that this portion of the
property had been improved as requested by Lot Split
No. 216; that they were simply asking that Mr. O'Donnell
and themselves be permitted to use the land in the most
economical way and the only possible way that this land
could be developed at this time; that Mr. O'Donnell had
had access on Merced Avenue and had been using it since
1959; that the building that was mentioned was a matter
of record and they brought out at the Board of Zoning
Adjustments that the building would be'torn down;, that
another reason this was denied according to Mr. Chivetta
was that this would be detrimental to the adjacent pro-
perties and that the proposed lot split would not be
compatible; that it most assuredly would be compatible
because this street had been proposed for more years than
he cared to remember; that he.would only ask that the
Council consider rendering a decision of approval so that
Mr. O'Donnell and themselves could enjoy the most econom-
ical use of this property.

City Engineer French stated very shortly the plans would NEAR COMPLETION
be completed; that he had reviewed the locations of the catch
basins with Harold Johnson's office on the drawings he had
prepared and he had s.iso gone.over the lines that Lampman &
Associates and Walsh-Forkert had prepared; that they were
close to completion;. that all the surveys and soil tests
had been made and It was a matter."of final,ing out the
designs at this time.
Councilman McCaron asked if Athol Street.would see any relief
from this.
City Engineer French stated no".
Councilman McCaron stated that there was quite an area that
drained to Athol; that if at all possible there should be
some relief for that street.
City Engineer French stated one of the main lines ran from
Foster south on Frazier to Fairgrove, on Fairgrove to the
ditch that ran out across and underneath the freeway and
crosses Bess and went on out to the wash; that then it had
laterals that ran on Foster from'Frazier to Baldwin'Park
Boulevard and on Franclsquito from Frazier to Baldwin Park
Boulevard and on Tracy from Frazier to the low spot there
to intercept the water before it went on down Fairgrove;
that there were no drains proposed to pick up the water
that went down Waco; that it was actually out of the drain-
age area for the major drain that wee. proposed; that the
Master Storm Drain had one but the drains were approved
by the County election as a whole and the City could not
adjust the location of the drains other than minor adjust-
ments due to special problems; that new drainage areas
could not be brought in or excluded as approved; that
there was no way under this bond issue that the condi-
tion in Athol could be alleviated.
in answer to a question by Councilman McCaron, City Engineer
French stated in excess of this there was a drain that went
into Pacific from Vineland to the wash and from Puente to the
wash; that there was a drain in Merced from Vineland to
the wash; that there was a drain in Puente from the freeway
to the wash south; that this would use up all of the money
allocated under this bond issue; that if this did not use up
all of the money allocated, the bond issue was so drawn
that the money would go to what was declared regional
drains throughout the County and did not stay with the City.
