Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
City Engineer French reviewed his report on a refund
of Sewer Connection Fee to Halco Associates which stated
that on March 22, 1965, a permit was issued to Halco
Associates to connect the property located at 4842 Stewart
to an existing sewer line for which they were charged
$110.00; that this property was included in 64-A-1.,in that
primary service to this property was the sewer line con.
structed in Stewart; that the sewer in Stewart was not
available in.March, therefore the property secured to a
sewer in an easement for which they were assessed $110.00
connection charge; thatHalco Associates protested the
assessment against their property as part of 64-A-I and
their protest was overruled in that primary service to the
property was through the line constructed as part of the
assessment district; that they had not made a request for
refund of the $110.00 as they felt this was a double assess-
ment for sewer service. He recommended that the City
Council approve a refund to Halco Associates, in the amount
of $110.00 for the reason that in effect they had been
charged twice for sewer service.
Councilwoman Gregory stated in her opinion the hooking up
to the easement was a convenience for this man; that the
house was relocated on February 18, 1965; that there was
a lot split also; that it appeared that Halco had made
arrangements with the builder who was building on Benham
to put the sewer through the property on Benham; that he
could have put in a cess pool or septic tank knowing full
well within the year the sewer was going down Stewart;
that this house had been relocated on the interior lot;
that there could still be another house in the front; that
the houses on Benham were not in 64-A-I; that they tied
into the Merced Avenue sewer built by Monarch Estates.
City Engineer French stated it was true this was a lot
split No. 636); that the sewer line that he tied into was
built by the subdivider; that it ran from Benham to
Cutler and across Stewart; that when the assessment dis-
trict was constructed the line was put up Stewart and
intercepted this main line; that when the line went across
the lot by the subdivider he-promised these people a right
to use this line at no cost; that the City had an ordinance
that would not allow this; that they were required to pay
a connection fee no matter what sewer they hook up to;
that further this man was included in 64-A-I and he filed
a protest; that the recommendation of the Assessment Engineer
was that primary service to this property was in fact in
Stewart not in the sewer that went in the easement along
his property and therefore he should be assessed and was
assessed a full assessment against this piece of property
as part of 64-A-I; that because he was assessed as part of
64-A-I he felt it was unfair to pay the connection fee
that had been adopted by the City for service to private
lines or lines where the people were not in the district and
had ask for a refund; that it was his feeling that in effect
he had paid two assessments; one for connection to a line
and one for being in a district.
Further discussion followed.
Councilman McCaron stated it appeared that Halco had
paid a full assessment that would be equitable to other
properties and that the $110.00 would be in excess.
COUNCILMAN MCCARON MOVED THAT THE REFUND SEWER CONNECTION
FEE) OF $110.00 BE GIVEN TO HALCO ASSOCIATES. COUNCILMAN

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-286, an application initiated by
the Baldwin Park Planning Commission to initiate a
Zone Change from R-2 light multiple residential) Zone
to Zone M-R manufacturing-restrictive) Zone or more
restrictive use upon parcels of land being on the
northerly side of Joanbridge Street as 14385-14329 Joan-
bridge Street.
City Clerk Balkus stated that proper publication, postings
and mailings had been accomplished.
Planning Director Chivetta presented a resume of the case
and stated the Planning Commission had adopted Resolution
No. PC 66-7 on February 3, 1966 recommending approval of
the zone change from R-2 Zone to M-R Zone. He pointed out
the map on the wall showing the existing zoning of the
area.
Councilman McCaron asked if the homes in the residential
area were occupied at the present time.
Planning Director Chivetta stated they were occupied; that
the buildings constructed on Live Oak back right up to
the rear property lines; that there were complaints on
the noises carrying from the M-I into the R-2; that there
were mixed uses now being placed on two or three of
the properties where they were using the garage for a
cabinet shop or machine shop or something of this type.
Councilwoman Gregory asked which came first, the M-R or
the residential; that she understood the homes were at
least twelve 1121 years old; that they were very well
kept.
Planning Director Chivetta stated the P" Zoning was a
classification of the City prior to the adoption of
the present Zoning Code which was adopted in 1964; that
the properties were constructed in this area on P" Zone
property as far as he could ascertain prior to the Code
in 1964; that there might have been another Code that

1966 03 02 CC MIN HÄ—@¸— 0 ÎÍ«2., Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
classified this area as R-I as far back possibly as when
the property was still in the County.
Councilwoman Gregory asked what this would do to the
homes tax wise.
Planning Director Chivetta stated if the zone was changed
the property could be used for manufacturing uses so
therefore the taxes could increase.
City Attorney Flandrick stated that the taxes may in-
crease however the Assessor generally looks to the use
rather than the zone.
Councilman McCaron stated it would put the residents in a
position where they would have to ask for a zone variance
for home improvements; that unless there had been an
indication that this property was to be used for M-R uses
in his opinion the request was premature excepting for
possibly a portion of it if the Water Company needed it
to complete their development.
Planning Director Chivetta stated there was some controversy
over the point as to whether or not the Water Company was
exempt from municipal regulations.
Councilman McCaron stated, in his opinion, the area developed
with homes at the present time should be deleted from the
request and consider the other portion; that the home owners
should have the right to continue to develop their property
as R-I until such time as there was a definite indication
that the homes were to be abandoned and used for some other
purpose.
Councilwoman Gregory asked if the plumbing, business next
to the Water Company that jutted down-into Joanbridge was
there before the City required a wall.
Planning Director Chivetta stated they were existing prior
to the adoption of the 1964 Zoning Ordinance; that it was

Avenue and N-22, 13240 Emery Avenue, to determine whether
certain premises, buildings and structures constitute a
public nuisance; that Special Enforcement Officer Palmer
had advised that most of the matters insofar as these
two matters were concerned that constituted a public
nuisance had been abated; that there were still structures
on each of the two lots that would require some further
action by the owner either to rehabilitate to meet the
Codes or in the alternative to destroy; that it was
recommended that N-19 and N-22 be continued to the next
regular meeting and that the owners be notified to either
appear at that time or to advise in writing as to whether
they intend to attempt to comply with the Uniform Building
Code.
COUNCILMAN MOREHEAD MOVED THAT N-19 AND N-22 BE CONTINUED
TO THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING AND THAT THE OWNERS BE NOTIFIED
TO EITHER APPEAR AT THAT TIME OR TO ADVISE IN WRITING AS TO

and was so ordered by Mayor Crites.
City Clerk Balkus administered the oath.
City Attorney Flandrick stated, for the record, that the
Council had a staff report indicating the status of the
property; that Special Enforcement Officer Palmer had
advised that ail of the deoris and other material on the
lot had been removed as of this date; that there still re-
mained an existing building; that it was recommended
that this building either be renovated to comply with
the Municipal Code relating to Building, Plumbing and
Electrical Regulations or be destroyed.
Mr. C. J. Petrofanis, R. H. Marsden Inc., 8815 S.

for the owner of the property at 4647 Bresee Avenue
N-19) who was In the audience; that they had demolished
the one back house which was indeed a public nuisance;
that the front house was not nearly as bad and they would
be willing to board up the windows if it would decrease
the nuisance if it was so considered; that they w4:'ted
to sell the land rather rt+._,n the improvement tho' it
had been his U:-:(Jerstandi ny there had been a moratorium
on the zoning in the area; that they did not think it
would be advisable to put any additional money into the
imorovements because it was an old house; that they did
not think it was a nuisance at this time and they sub-
mitted to the Council that they be permitted to leave it
stand as was for the time being pending the end of the
zoning moratorium at which time they anticipated new
construction would go onto the land.
In answer to a question by Councilman McCaron, Planning
Director Chivetta stated there was no such moratorium
in effect in any section of the City on reclassifications.

Mr. Petrofanis asked how many houses could be constructed
on this lot; that they had not been able to ascertain
what the. zoning was.
City Attorney Flandrick stated the zoning was R-I.
Mr. Petrofanis stated there were three houses on the lot
next to this one.
Planning Director Chivetta stated it was possible that
there had been a lot split which created three 3) single
family lots. He further stated that only one single
family home could be put on the lot at 4647 Bresee Avenue
regardless of the size unless the property was divided so
that each lot being created would front on a fully
dedicated and public thoroughfare.
City Attorney Flandrick paused to the Council Exhibit A)
pictures of the property. e suggested that the Council
could continue this matter to the next regular meeting
and if the gentleman wished to board it up so that no
access could be had to it the Coo:ncil could instruct the
Special Enforcement Officer to a:amine it after that had
been accomplished and then at that point determine-whether
it still constituted a public nuisance or not.
Councilman McCaron stated he would like a report as to
whether the house was in the front yard setback or a
future street.

City Attorney Flandrick announced that it was the'time
and place fixed for a public hearing on N-24, to determine
whether certain premises, buildings and structures con-
stitute a public nuisance at 4934 Marion Avenue.
City Attorney Flandrick stated that proper postings and
mailings had been accomplished.
City Attorney Flandrick stated the Council had a staff
report relating to this property; that Special Enforce-
ment Officer Palmer had examined the property late this
date and it was still in the same condition as shown
on Exhibit A which consisted of five 5) pictures showing
the exterior and interior of the house which was passed
to the Council; that the property was zoned R-1 and had a
single family residential unit located on it.
Councilman Morehead stated this was a green house that
faced on Chilcot, not Marion.
Special Enforcement Officer Palmer stated the title
report indicated the address as 4934 Marion; that this
property was included in Lot Split No. 594.
Councilman McCaron stated the houses next to it were new;
that it did not seem reasonable that this house should
be abandoned; that there must be some extenuating circum-
stances; that this house could be rehabilitated rather
than removed.
Special Enforcement Officer Palmer stated all of the
notification letters had been returned.
Building Superintendent Kalbfleisch stated the building
could be rehabilitated; that it was in bad shape at the
present time; that there was evidence of children playing
in the building.
City Attorney Flandrick suggested that this could be
continued to the next regular meeting and the staff would
attempt to give notice again and try.to find out who in
fact owned it; that the subdivision or lot split record
could be checked.

whether certain premises, buildings and structures con-
stitute a public nuisance at 4924 Stewart Avenue.
City Attorney Flandrick stated that property postings and
mailings had been accomplished.
City Attorney Flandrick stated the Council had a staff
report relating to this property. He passed to the
Council Exhibit A which consisted of five 5) pictures
of the subject property stating that Special Enforce-
ment Officer Palmer had examined the property late this
date and it was still in the same condition as shown in
the pictures.
City Clerk Balkus administered the oath.
Mr. Vince Iverson stated he was Real Estate Coordinator
for Prudential Savings and Loan, the present owner of this
property; that this property was being sold and was in
escrow; that it would probably take from thirty 30) to
sixty 601 days to close the deal; that money had been
appropriated and commitments had been made as far as
developing the property, tearing this house down and
erecting new buildings; that he requested additional
time.
City Attorney Flandrick asked if there were any provisions
in the escrow instructions for the demolition of this
structure.
Mr. Iverson stated they had made corrrnitments for new
buildings to be going on this property; that naturally
if they had made the commitments the structure would have
to come off.
In answer to a question by Councilman McCaron, Mr. Iverson
stated there was no advantage in holding the building;
that it would be the buyers obligation to take the house
down; that there was no consideration being paid for
the house, just the land.
Councilman McCaron asked if sixty 60) days would be ample
to close the escrow.
Mr. Iverson stated in case it was not we" would still
take it out of there within sixty 60) days or sooner.
City Attorney Flandrick asked if it was possible for
Prudential Savings and Loan to set aside in a separate
account the sum of perhaps $750.00 guaranting that this
building would be demolished either by Prudential or
the purchaser within thirty 30) or sixty 60) days as
a part of the escrow.
Mr. Iverson stated he did not feel that this should be
necessary; that Prudential was not lacking of funds.
City Attorney Flandrick asked if Prudential had notified
the prospective purchaser of the proceedings.

Mr. Iverson stated there was no reason to because Prudential
was loaning money against the property for erection of new
houses and this was a condition of the sale.
Councilwoman Gregory asked Mr. Iverson if he felt Prudential
or the new owner was liable to pay for the demolishing
of the building.
Mr. Iverson stated probably the new owner would be but
he would not get his money from Prudential until it was
demolished.
Discussion followed wherein Mr. Iverson stated if the new
owner was not in with his plans showing his intention
within sixty 60) days the structure would still be
ripped down; that he agreed the structure should come

Planning Director Chivetta presented a resume of
Tentative Tract 25587 located on the westerly side of
Foster Avenue between Athol Street and Frazier Street,
H. C. and C. M. Sutterfield. He stated that the Plan-
ning Commission had adopted Resolution No. PC 66-II on
r- t br iary 23, 1966, reconuneod if g denial of Tentative
Tract No. 25587; that the staff recommendation was that
the Council consider the feasibility of Torrey Street
continuing through to Foster Avenue or cut--de-sating
as proposed by the applicant; that the staff was of the
opinion that either proposal was applicable. He pointed
out the map on the wall stating it contained seven 7)
parcels.
Mr. Howard Sutterfield, 3779 North Foster Avenue, Baldwin
Park, stated his reason for appearing was to present his
views and supporting data on why Tract No. 25587 should be
approved as presented; that the tract map called for the
extension and cul-de-sacing of Torrey Street to provide
frontage and lot sizes well in excess of the minimum standards

foot lots fronting on Foster Avenue and an R-2 Zone was
requested; that the denial of the R-2 Zone Change had been
appealed and would be scheduled for later consideration;
that the zone change was of minor significance and had
little bearing on tonight's discussion, since the land
area in question could be developed as three 13) Ri1 lots
instead of two 2) R-2 lots; that this one unit loss
could be absorbed by the owner if after review the Council
sustained the Planning Commission's denial; that the
question to be resolved tonight was shall the Council
concur with the Planning Commission's recommendation for
denial of Tentative Tract No. 25587; that if so shall such
action be based on the reasons given by the Planning
Commission In Resolution PC 66-I1. He read the first
reason for recommending denial stating that a reason such
as this was difficult to refute since the Planning Commis-
sion did not bother to indicate where the map was not
consistent with the General Plan; that the tract map as
proposed conformed in every respect to established criteria
for lot size, for street frontage and would provide adequate
dedications and improvements; that if the Planning Commis-
sion referred to the street pattern proposed he could
assure the Council, and he believed the staff would sub-
stantiate, that the General Plan did not require Torrey
Street to continue through to Foster Avenue; that there
had been no street pattern adopted for the area since the
adoption of the General Plan therefore the Council was at
liberty this evening to take whatever action made sense
both legally and morally as to what happened to Torrey
Street. He read the second reason of tls~o' Planning Commis-
sion for recommending denial stating ag`in that the develop-
ment pattern for Torrey Street appeared to be as flexible
as the Council wished to make it; that the fact that it
now deadended at the rear of his property in no way suggested
that it should or for that matter should not continue or that
it should or should not cul-de-sac as proposed yet possibly
because one of the two previous tract maps which subdivided
the adjacent property creating Torrey Street from Earl Avenue
to its present terminus may have shown Torrey extending to
Foster; that this did not make it so nor should it; that
he submitted to the Council that Torrey Street should not
continue through to Foster because it was an unwise and
uneconomical land use; that his subdivision as proposed
contained seven 17) lots however Lots I and 2 were considered
R-2 and should this zone not be granted the subdivision map
would of necessity be revised to make three 3) lots out
of the Foster frontage; that this meant that the tract map
actually would meet every conceivable R-I standard now in
effect and net eight 8) very n$ce lots; that if Torrey
Street were required to continue through to Foster Avenue
the development costs for street improvements and sewers
would to increased approximately one-third and the lot
yield would be reduced from eight lots to six lots; that
assuming $3,000.00 would cover the added costs of improve-
ments and valuing improved lots at only $5,000.00 this would
mean that to continue Torrey Street to Foster would cost
someone an added $13,000.00 for a completed half street;
that he could not believe that the City would desire to
impose such an unrealistic demand on a single development
of this size; that he was already, as all subdividers did,
dedicating adequate street and making street improvements
valued in excess of $8,000.00 at no cost to the City; that
he could not do more; that in addition to not being necessary,
continuation of the street was unwise because of the offset
intersection and the traffic hazard created; Foster Avenue
had almost developed into a secondary thoroughfare and to open
this block long residential street into it was not, in his
opinion, good planning; that the property owners residing
on this section of Torrey Street were definitely opposed to
continuation of the street and their reasons were expressed
to the Planning Commission in a letter dated February 23,
1966, which he read in full; that the Planning Commission
was not clear in stating what service was referred to in its
second reason for denial; that utility service would be

adequately provided in the street or rear of the lots by
easement, however it was doubtful that the Planning
Commission was referring to this type of service; that
more probably the reference was made to emergency service
such as fire, ambulance and police; that he did not see
any problem here; that if there would be a problem it
must also exist now; that they could see a definite improve-
ment in traffic circulation with the installation of the large
cul-de-sac as proposed. He read the third reason of the
Planning Commission for recommending denial stating that
this was not the case; that careful con$;ideration had been
given to permit not only a logical but the most economical
use of the adjacent land which was actually to the south-
east rather than the northeast; that he was not proposing
that his neighbor develop his land in any given way but MAPS PRESENTED RE
he would like to present maps to show how it could develop LAND TO NE
acceptably and consistent v:ith the proposed development
of his own property; that the map would show that to con-
tinue the street to Foster would cost his neighbor one
lot. He also presented a map showing the continuation of MAP PRESENTED SHOW-
the street stating that it would cost his neighbor one lot ING CONTINUATION
plus added costs for unnecessary improvements or perhaps OF STREET
as much as $8,000.00; that this cost added to his $!3,000.00
loss meant that it would cost two small property owners, or
the taxpayers of Baldwin Park, $21,000.00 to satisfy what
amounted to him as an unnecessary and even undesirable
Planning Commission demand; that in conclusion Ralph Brooks
and he had worked diligently for many months consulting
frequently with City Planning and Engineering Departments
so that they could present a better than average subdivision
proposal; that he had been particularly concerned that he
not present a plan that would in any way place the Commission
or the Council in a position of compromise; that this
subdivision must surely stand on its merits; that he asked
nothing more but nothing less than an objective appraisal
of that which was proposed.
Mr. Ralph Brooks, 2138 East Huntington Drive, Duarte RALPH BROOKS, 2138
stated he wanted to discuss the subdivision from a design E. Huntington Dr.,
standpoint; that they felt that the layout they presented Duarte
made a much better use of.the land than any other plan
that could be devised; that if the street should go
through as proposed by the Planning Commission it would
create narrow deep lots with a lot of back yard area which
they did not think was nearly as desirable as the plan
submitted; that as far as he knew the staff did not
recommend that the street go through there; that he saw
no possible reason for extending the street through;
that he did not think anything would be accomplished by
it but it would disturb the environment of a small community
created around a cul-de-sac which eliminated any traffic
that had no business in the area; that they felt the plan
submitted was a much better layout for the City as well as
the subdivider.
Councilman McCaron asked what the staff recommendation
was on this.
Mr. Sutterfield stated he was of the opinion that the staff
was in agreement with what was being proposed; that he
personally would like to see a direct question ask of them
as to whether or not they feel the street should or should
not go through.
Councilman McCaron asked if the improvements on Lot I were to
remain.
Mr. Sutterfield stated the lot was improved; that there would
be a relocation of a garage building that was now on Lot 4
to Lot l; that another problem with the street going through
would be that there would be the cost of relocating two
houses in order to property develop the street; that it
was his intention for the house to remain.

Councilman McCaron asked if this was a proper design for
a cul-de-sac.
City Engineer French stated it did not meet the clean
standard of a cul-de-sac found in the standard books;
that it was a perfectly acceptable design of a cul-de-sac;
that it provided a larger turning area than was required
by the City's standare's;thet this i.'as in excess of the
City's standards; that he would say the City's standards
were minimum.
Mr. Sutterfield stated the cul-de.-sac lots had forty-five
and thirty-five foot frontages; that according to R-I
standards right now ha could have pulled the cul-de-sac
around and narrowed it down and b•-ought the lots down to
a twenty-five 25) foot frontage; that pie had eliberately
made this larger in order to make it more acceptable and
give a turn around radius prior to the development of the
other half of the cut de-sac; that he had bac'tod the
cul-de-sac up which was actually money out o' his pocket
for added development costs in order to give the minimum
thirty-five 35) foot frontage and more turning area for
the cul-de-sac until the other property developed.
In answer to a question by Councilman McCaron, Mr, Butter-
field stated the R-2 for Lot!; I aid 2 s not contingent
upon a change of zone, that as he saw it the subdivi3ion
map could be approved with these ots aS they were; that
he had appealed the zone change because the general plan
called for medium density; that he felt the zone change
was consistent; that he had also included 100' by 129' to
the north of this where he lived on the cornet of Foster
and Athol in order to tie this to.}ether to keep it from
being less of a spot zoning situation; that he felt the
map could be approved since it was a tentative tract map;
that if he was not successful in his zone change request
prior to finalizing this tract map he would want to make
some lot changes on the front property and make three R-I
lots; that it was true that the existing souse would occupy
a portion of two of those lots; that fie would he willing to
sign a document indicating that nether of the lots would be
sold as long as that house occupied any portion of them;
that he would be able to develop the third lot on the Foster
frontage and leave the two lots then occupied by one house
until such time as he could relocate that house on one of
the other lots prior to building on the third lot.
City Attorney Flandrick stated the staff did agree that
the zoning would have no bearing on the map; that it was
designed now for R-I standards.
Councilman Morehead stated he did not agree with the
Planning Commission in their thinking regarding the
continuation of Torrey; that to him it would certainly
disturb at least two lots on the applicant's property
and it would also disturb the development of the property
adjacent to the applicant, Tract No. 8805; that it would
certainly create a jog in Torrey Street; that he could not
think of any other street where a new street was cut in
without being completely aligned; that to put in a street
without being aligned with such an offset as that he did
not think would be good planning; that he did not see
anything wrong with the tract at the present time.
Councilwoman Gregory stated there were quite a few jogs
in the streets of Baldwin Park; that there was one on
Joanbridge probably not quite like this but certainly
detrimental; that she could point to many cities in this
area where this was something that they required, streets
that wind around and jog in all directions, were required
in the better home areas; that she could not agree that
this was not a sharp jog by any means; that there were
people that had come before the Council with the same

recommendation, such as Mrs. Chamption; that the Council
had requested quite a large piece of property from her to
continue a street for new homes that were not even Mrs.
Champion's concern; that the Council held her to this and
also required curbs, gutters, sidewalks, etc.; that many
other people had come before the Council in this require-
ment; that the Council had been talking about the streets
that went to no where; that the street did end at this
particularly piece of property and it could go out to
Foster and become a street in fact rather than just a
deadend; that she believed this was what the Council had
been talking about for the last two years; trying to get
the streets through to go somewhere and not just deadend;
that the Council had been forcing people to do this for
the past two years; that she could see that the Planning
Commission had been abiding by that rule and trying to
get the streets through for circulation of traffic; that
she was sure that Mr. Sutterfield himself had asked people
who had come before him in his position as Planning
Commissioner; that she could not see that the Council
could make an exception here; that she thought that his
plan was feasible if there was no street that deadended
right at his property; that the land use was good but
there was a street there and it did not make at least
a difference to her in the fact that the Council had been
doing this very thing to other people in Baldwin Park; that
there was a street there and it should continue.
Mayor Crites stated there was a point of difference with
the one case that Councilwoman Gregory had mentioned;
that there were seven 7) parcels of land involved here
which was a little different than a lot split situation
which was the case in the Champion-Lincoln presentation.
Councilwoman Gregory stated that Mrs. Champion was asked
to give up an amount of land sufficient to build a house
on.
Councilman McCaron stated it appeared that putting the
street through did make nicer looking lots, larger sized
lots, but it did deny the applicant full use of the
property; that as far as the jog in the street was con-
cerned it did not make any difference in this case
because the street on the opposite side did not lead
anywhere so it would not be affected by a jog; that a
jog normally was only supposed to be around twenty-five
25) feet to be acceptable; that in this case a jog larger
just meant egress and ingress from Foster to Foster itself
for the homes that would be on Torrey; that it was not
an excessively long cul-de-sac; that Loma Lane was con-
siderably longer than this would be and circulation would
be desired one way or the other; that it was a larger area
to develop. He asked how long Torrey would be with this
development.
City Engineer French stated it would not be over five
hundred feet; that it was approximately four hundred
fifty 450) to four hundred seventy-five 475) feet; that
it was not a very long reach.
Councilman McCaron asked how long Corak Street would be
if it was allowed to develop into a cul-de-sac street
including Loma Lane.
Planning Director Chivetta stated six hundred 600) feet
along Corak if it was a cul-de-sac but it could not be
a cul-de-sac because the property had been split into
three parcels; that there were three new single family
dwellings constructed; that this portion of Loma Lane
had been dedicated and improved; that it was a full sixty
60) foot right-of-way at this location; that Torrey
Street coming in was practically four hundred 1400) feet
in length at this point; that the applicant's proposal

would increase it approximately another one hundred 1100)
to one hundred fifty 150) feet; that the standards for
a cul-de-sac were usually a maximum of about five hundred
500) feet.
City Engineer French stated it would not be an excessive
length.
Planning Director Chivetta stated it was a little over
the standard but it was not excessive.
COUNCILWOMAN GREGORY MOVED FOR REASONS OF THE BETTER
STREET DESIGN AND THE TRAFFIC FLOW THAT THE CITY COUNCIL
CONCUR WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION
AND DENY TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 25587.
Councilman McCaron stated it would appear on the land the
way it was cut up to put the street through would require
the applicant to have lot areas way in excess of those in
the vicinity especially the balance of Torrey Street which
would penalize him considerably in view of the fact that
he would be supplying equal amount of ground; that the
only thing he would not like about it was the fact that
he would not want to approve this as was just to concur
with any R-2 development; that he did not want to give
any effect that he would be agreeable to accepting this
as a first step toward R-2 development on the Foster
Street frontage; that the entire area was R-.l and that
would be the only objection he would have at the present
time.
City Attorney Flandrick commented if the Council were to
approve the tract map as submitted that anything that
Mr. Sutterfield might like to do with reference to pro-
posed Lots I and 2 in terms of dividing them into three
parcels would be subject to the Council's future action;
that it was not something that was to be approved tonight;
that if it were to be approved it would be on the basis
of a seven lot R-I subdivision without reference to any
R-2.
The motion was declared dead for lack of a second.
Councilman McCaron stated it would appear that due to the
fact that there was improvements on Foster Avenue they
were to remain and this would be the least disturbing
development at the present time, as presented; that to
put a street through would require removal of some of
the improvements. He stated the Council did not have
suggested conditions for approval.

as to the telephone poles being in the street on Olive be- IN STREET ON OLIVE

tion as to when these would be relocated; that this hazardous
condition had remained for months.
City Engineer French stated he had ordered them out prior
to the improvements; that they had been notified in writing
three times; that telephone was the only one on the pole;
that it was strictly a work load with them.
Councilwoman Gregory suggested that the Chief Administra-
tive Officer or the City Attorney write a letter to them
to see if these could not be moved.
City Engineer French stated he would get in touch with the
telephone company again by letter and by telephone and
advise them that the Council was going to take legal action
if they do not move the poles.

someone ran into these poles.

Baldwin Park. She stated she was also quite saddened and
shocked to see them come down but she realized too that
West Covina had done quite a bit in the past in preserving
the trees on Lark Ellen; that on this street many of the
trees had been relocated at a cost of approximately $350.00
per tree. She stated that Baldwin Park had approximately
twenty-seven 27) of these very lovely trees on Palm, Walnut
and Merced and scattered throughout Baldwin Park; that there
was a future In Baldwin Park as to perk, and recreation one

around Rivergrade Road if the State makes a gift as they
had been doing with some of the landscaping problems; that
she believed that something should be done perhaps at this
budgeting time; that she would like a survey as to how
many of these trees there were and where they were; that
then she would like to know if the Council felt as she
did that the trees should be preserved; that the State
had been buying, quite a few of these tall trees to fill
in at the wells of the on and off ramps; that she hoped
that some day Baldwin Park could finance a program of
beautifying the streets as well as widening them and per-
haps these trees could be used in this fashion; that to
preserve these trees the City should start budgeting at
this particular budget session; that approximately $400.00
or $500.00 would be needed to relocate each tree.
Mayor Crites stated this could very well be in the area
of planning for improvements that was suggested some
months ago as part of the Planning Department budget for
the future; that several things were mentioned about long
range planning to include.such things. as a civic center
and beautification.
Councilwoman Gregory asked Chief Administrative Officer
Nordby if the budgeting could begin within this budget.
Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated that most
of the Departments had submitted their request for the
coming year; that he had not reviewed them yet; that the
problem this City had warp monei; that he had an old
philosophy that there were no w sources of revenue;
that the same people wee i-,jued; that whatever shift the
Council desired the srcff would try to conform to; that
he concurred with Mrs. Gregory that everything possible
should be done to beautify the City; that the trees
certainly would be considered.
Councilwoman Gregory stated along with this that'the
survey should be taker: as to how many trees there were
a.'i where they were and where the street widening pro-
gram would be coming; that if there. were trees in the
way this was the reason for the budgeting now, not all
of it, but enough to relocate the trees that might have
to be moved within the next year; that Palm and Walnut
wa> a bad corner and the trees were in the street more
or less and they would probably have to be moved.
Councilman McCaron stated as far as trees were concerned
that the Council should be aware of them and when the
problem arse he did not think any one section would be
so great that they could not be provided for at the
time of development; that it should be kept in mind that
there were some that could be saved; that the determina-
tion as to whether they should be saved or not should.be
made, at the time they were to be affected.
Councilwoman Gregory stated if it was not budgeted for
this would have a bearing on whether they were saved or
not; that a survey should be taken and preparation made
for saving them.
Mayor Crites stated he believed this could be planned for TO BE PLANNED FOR

City Attorney Flandrick passed to the Council two sets
of pictures, the first showing four 4) pictures of
the property located at 13017 Fairgrove Street marked
Exhibit All and the second set marked Exhibit 8" showing
the property at 13009 Fairgrove Street. He stated that the
Council had a staff report rom the Special Enforcement
Officer who had exan~i;!ed the property this date and the
property was still it the ndition shown in the pictures;
