there was approximately six months time to make the
adjustment; that there were five homes involved which
had been occupied about five months; and that the change
would avoid future confusion, Mayor McCaron asked Mr.
Kinser if he would be satisfied with a communication
from Planning Director Chivetta giving the reasons for
the recommendation and if not the Council might consider

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Mr. Earl Keith stated he and his wife were owners of
the property; that this was a special situation being
the largest lot in the block, the largest on Susquehanna;
that the deepest part of the lot is 179 ft. and 80 ft. at
the widest part; that the unused area requires care; that
they would comply with all codes.
OATH ADMINISTERED
Milton Hadley, 14304 E. Ramona Blvd., Baldwin Park,
attorney appeared for the petitioners, Mr. Keith and
Mrs. Reneau stating he felt this was a reasonable type
of request; that the petitioner had appeared at the
Planning Commission and asked for proper procedured to
apply for a duplex at the rear of this property. They
were instructed to apply for a zone variance and it was
discussed by the BZA that possibly this should have been
a zone change. However, since they were told to apply
for a variance this is what they had done. He stated
R-2 development permits two single family dwellings or
a duplex; that R-3 requires development be contained
under one roof; that the petitioner would comply with
all conditions, curbs, gutters, fences, etc.; that
property to the rear and side is R-2; that this property
was unique; that they were not seeking a zone change or
spot zoning but were seeking to build a duplex on the
rear portion of this 15,000 sq. ft. property; that a
dwelling was presently on the front; that the rear 10,000
sq. ft. had no use what so ever and abuts and is adjacent
to R-2 property; that they would build two units of two
bedrooms with a divided three car garage between; that
this would not interfere with property on Susquehanna.
He stated it would be an extreme hardship if they were
not allowed to build on the back of the property; that
with council approval they could split off the back
portion and sell to,adjacent R-2 owners; that this
would improve the area that he understood the Planning
Commission has presented a uniform plan for utilization
of these large lots; however, it was necessary for them
to proceed immediately therefore they had appealed to
the Council. He asked that Council give the matter deep
consideration.
OATH ADMINISTERED
Mr. M. C. Hunter, 3835 Stewart, Baldwin Park, stated he
had R-l property in back of the Women's Club and he was
in favor of the improvement which would clear the property
of debris.
Patricia Becker, 13937 Susquehanna Avenue, Baldwin Park,
stated she was the neighbor to the south side of the
property; that this development would be an improvement
and clear the property of debris, bicycle parts, bottles,
rocks; that the back of the lot was a problem with
children going through it.
Mrs. Mary Keith stated she was shocked to learn that the
application had been turned down by the Board of Zoning
Adjustments; that development would clean up and improve
the area; that they had a petition in favor of the develop-
ment signed by neighbors; that Mrs. Helen Nagard, 13925
Susquehanna Avenue, Baldwin Park, had expressed her
approval at the previous hearing, however, she was unable
to attend this evening; that she would appreciate council
approval.
In answer to a question by Councilman Morehead, Planning
Director Chivetta explained the existing concrete driveway
is eight feet in width and runs back to the even prolongation
of the side line of the existing garage; that a lot split
required a 10 ft. driveway.

Mr. Gilbert Henderson stated their plan called for a
minimum of ten feet and a turn around space of 25
feet, that actually It was a 29 foot turn around.
In answer to Mayor McCaron's inquiry, Mr. Chivetta
stated the applicant was aware of the deep lot study
being made by the Planning Commission.
City Attorney Flandrick stated the Planning Commission's
recommendation by definition of a deep lot being a 170
foot of average depth and that he did not think this
would qualify 161 feet on one side and 171 on the
other, and 180 some odd feet at the deepest point.
Planning Director Chivetta stated the actual depth was
in excess of 170 feet, but in this case taking the
center of the lot, and go up on 170; that something
could be worked out with the applicant in this manner.
As there was no further testimony either in behalf of PUBLIC HEARING
or in opposition to ZV-161, Mayor McCaron declared the DECLARED CLOSED
Public Hearing closed. ZV-16i
Mayor McCaron stated it would appear that access to
the property is in an R-I zone; the property is R-l;
it is surrounded by R-I on both sides and the change
in the code for an additional home on this deep lot
would more or less make it fit in with the R-1 and
it would appear that it would be alleviated because
of the fact that it would have some additional use of
the land but to put in R-2 development on the property
even though it is backing up to R-2 property certainly
doesn't qualify it for R-2 usage. He stated that in
most of the testimony the neighbors would like to see
anything go in there just to clear up the property.
This can be readily seen, and this is one of the
reasons for the change in the ordinance where a second
home can be placed on a deep lot that cannot face
another street or a new street put in to give it
another frontage; that this may not be exactly what
they do want but then it will be some relief, at least
the improvement in the rear which will satisfy the
neighbors also and it will clean up the property.
Councilman Morehead stated he saw this a little bit
differently than Mayor McCaron. Although he hadn't
seen the final recommendation from Planning regarding
our deep lot situation he had reason to believe that
they have only considered one additional residence on
a deep lot; that this caused him concern abed'what the
people were going to do with the balance of their
available property.
Mayor McCaron commented that the City should try to
avoid further development with several lots using
the same driveway.
Councilman Crites stated that under the present
ordinance there was enough square footage for three
3) 5,000 square foot lots; that under the proposed
ordinance the lot would only be short 120 square foot
to make three 3) lots; that the interior proposed
street was so far away from this property that they
could not use it anyway; that in his opinion there
was nothing else a person could do with this and
maintain his ownership other than what had been
requested.

Mayor McCaron stated that this was tantamount to a
zone change when R-2 uses were sandwiched in between
R-I usage; that this lot was entitled to some relief
but he thought one additional residence in the rear
where It would remain one parcel under one ownership
would provide the relief that would be necess'ar`y.-for1,'fihis

City Attorney Flandrick stated the suggested conditions
were two in number: compliance with the plot plan and
remain under single ownership. He stated, of course,
the applicant would have to comply with all other
provisions of the Municipbl Code.
Planning Director Chivetta stated there was no provision
on the plot plan for a wall or fence.
As no one had left the room and there were no objections,
Mayor McCaron reopened the public hearing on ZV-161.
Mr. Milton Hadley stated he was sure that the owner would
comply with any of the conditions placed on the variance;
that he felt it would be in order to have the Planning
Department set forth the conditions they want and the
owner would agree to them and sign them prior to taking
out a permit for construction to build.
City Attorney Flandrick suggested that perhaps Planning
Director Chivetta could review the plot plan and come
back later in the meeting with comments and suggested
conditions.
As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak
either in behalf of or in opposition to ZV-161, Mayor
McCaron declared the public hearing closed.

PUBLIC HEARING
CHANGES IN RULE XIV,
SECTION 230,
PERSONNEL RULES AND
REGULATIONS
Proper publication, postings and mailings had been PUBLICATION,
accomplished. POSTINGS, MAILINGS
City Attorney Flandrick stated this was a public hearing
on proposed changes1h the Personnel Rules and Regula-
tions as recommended by the Personnel Board; that the
Personnel Board had conducted a hearing on this matter;
that the Council had before them a memorandum from the
City Clerk that adequately and completely outlined the
proposed changes; that the City Council also had before
them a copy of the proposed resolution making these
changes. He stated that it was his recommendation that
the Council did not follow the Board's comments concerning
the matter of new evidence; that the point being that
this type of proceeding was similar in most cases to a
judicial proceeding and where you have your day in court
you are not permitted to come up before an Appellate
Court and present new evidence unless it was newly dis-
covered evidence and a rather complicated proceeding was
involved; that in most cases where an employee was going
to appeal he would have an attorney and hopefully the
attorney would present all the evidence relevant to the
proceeding; that the City Clerk had estimated the cost
of transcripts; that it might seem a little high and he
was sure it was; that the City of Los Angeles and the
County of Los Angeles for years had followed the procedure
that if a verbatim transcript and thus an appeal was taken
from the body hearing matter the cost of the transcript
was borne by the applicant; that this was true in cases of
personnel matters before the County of Los Angeles and
zoning matters before the County of Los Angeles, Regional
Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors; that a number
of cities had gone to this method for the very simple
reason that it was a cost to the City to have to do this
transcription such as the City Clerk was doing for the
recent appeal case; that since the party involved was
taking the appeal it would seem-reasonable to impose:Chet
charge upon him and that was the Board's recommendation as well
as his.
As there was no one in the audience desiring to speak either PUBLIC HEARING
in behalf of or In opposition to the proposed changes in the DECLARED CLOSED
Personnel Rules and Regulations, Mayor McCaron declared the
public hearing closed.
Councilwoman Gregory stated she was concerned about the
cost of the transcript; that it seemed If the Council were
to accept this revision that the cost factor alone would
determine that the employee would have to forfeit his right
to appeal to the City Council; that she was very sorry that
none of the employees had come forward; that she thought that
in addition to posting, notices should have been mailed to
the President of the Employees Association; that she agreed

that the court recorder would be a help but she
wondered how an employee would pay for that; that
she thought perhaps new t`ulings would be needed as
far as the Board was concerned in presenting the
testimony and the employee would be warned of the
cost that could be entailed in an appeal; that she
thought more study was needed and suggested that
the Employees Association be very sure that they
had a voice in this matter.
Mayor McCaron stated basically the change as pro-
posed was to alleviate the problem of having two
hearings; that the City had a very well qualified
Personnel Board; that the employee had to go through
two people before an action was effective and then
to go through the Board he thought was very adequate
protection; that it would still allow the City to pay
the cost of the appeal.
Councilwoman Gregory stated some cities allowed the
Personnel Board's decision to become final, but most
cities had the right to appeal to the Council; that
by making the Board's word final the Council would
be forcing unionization.
Discussion followed that there had been no response
from the Employees Association regarding this matter
either before Council or the Personnel Board.
Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated he saw no
problem in holding the matter over to get representa-
tion from the employees.
As there were no objections, Mayor McCaron reopened PUBLIC HEARING

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Mayor McCaron asked if the plus one-half cent per square
foot for areas greater than 150 feet from the street" was
mostly for future streets.
City Engineer French stated no.
Mayor McCaron asked if there was to be development on R-I
frontage why would this be added on.
City Engineer French stated the actual cost as proposed was
an average cost based upon what the people have paid for
sewer construction in the sewer districts within the City;
that these costs were averaged out with the three districts;
that Merced and Frazier also had some properties that would
be affected by this.
Mayor McCaron asked if it had been taken into consideration
that the costs would be greater on a small job.
City Engineer French stated the indication was that over a
long haul" this would provide the funds to construct sewers;
that it would not take care of inequities.
In answer to a question by Councilman Crites, City Engineer
French stated where anyone had paid any assessment for sewers
would not be charged twice.

City Engineer French stated it was originally set up
to obtain intersection lighting and mid block lighting
throughout the City, take over the County Lighting
District and operate the whole City Lighting District
under the same assessment cost as the County had been
operating; that after this step we would then bring
the lightingtptothe proper standard; that he was
suggesting a procedure policy; that he was hoping
that initially the property owners themselves would
carry the momentum to bring the street lights up to
the proper standard; that at the time the property
owners would not do this the staff could bring the
areas back to the Council and set up additional zones
and the Council could initiate zone districts and go
ahead; that an effort would be made to maintain a
uniform assessment district rate throughout the City.
Mayor McCaron stated he thought this should be added
to the City's policy and have a report later on the
additional cost of intensifying the lighting in areas
that were deficient.
COUNCILMAN MOREHEAD MOVED THAT THE POLICY STATEMENT
WOULD BE AS FOLLOWS: THAT WHERE AN AREA IS TO BE
UPGRADED IN STREET LIGHTING THAT IT BE ACCOMPLISHED
BY PETITION BY THE PROPERTY OWNERS WHICH PETITION
SHOULD DESIGNATE WHETHER THEY WISH ORNAMENTAL POLES
OR LOCATION OF LIGHTS ON EXISTING POLES: THAT THE
PETITION WOULD BE PRESENTED TO THE COUNCIL AND
PROCESSED ACCORDINGLY. COUNCILMAN CRITES SECONDED.
Councilman Crites AMENDED THE MOTION TO READ:
AFTER EVERYONE GES SOME LIGHTS"
City Attorney Flandrick stated the program now was
to get lights at the intersections and mid block;
that being accomplished this was the second phase.
Councilman Crites stated with this understanding he
would withdraw his amendment.
There were no objections, the motion carried and

City Engineer French stated on Thursday the State
Division of Highways had a bid opening for the land-
scaping of the Athol overpass and some landscaping
on the Baldwin Park over crossing and a storm drain
to be constructed in Francisquito from the freeway
to the wash. He stated this involved the City of
Badiwin Park in that the City was paying a certain
percentage of the cost of the storm drain from Virginia
to the wash; that the bids exceeded the State's estimate
by approximately $5,000.00; that the storm drain was the
reason the bid exceeded the State's estimate; that there
were two alternatives: recommend to the State that they
reject the bids or recommend that they award. He stated
if the City recommended the award it could cost the City
as much as $2100.00 for the additional cost; that there
was a problem with rebid in that if the storm drain was
to be constructed in time for the winter rain period it
had to be awarded under this contract. He recommended
that the Council recommend to the State they award the
contract so that the drain could be installed for this
rainy season; that the City would benefit more by having
the drain installed than by waiting another year.
Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated that funds
would be made available when and if necessary.

Regarding Resolution No. 66-205, Councilman Morehead
stated he was of the opinion when he voted that
Resolution No. 66-205 had reference to Item 2, not
Item I of the City Engineer's report regarding mai&
line sewer extensions. City Attorney Flandrick stated
the resolution set the fee schedule for areas not
included in the sewer districts; that the Council's
action accepted the City Engineer's recommendation
of $6.00 per lineal front foot.
Councilman Morehead stated he was opposed to Resolution
No. 66-205; that Item No. I covered streets such as
Frazier and Vineland for properties fronting on the
County Sanitation outfall line; that in 1961 the Council
set this $2.00 front foot sewer connection fee; that he
opposed that $2.00 cost then and he was certainly in
opposition to the rate of $6.00 a front foot. He stated
he did not think the residences fronting the County
Sanitation outfall line should pay anything; that they
had paid for the installment of this sewer line in the
first place and now having to pay to hook onto it.
Mayor McCaron stated they paid for it proportionately
but so did the rest of the City pay for it but because
it was not on their street the rest of the City was
being penalized for having to pay for additional sewer
line.
Further discussion followed.
Councilman Morehead stated he would like to have his
vote recorded as a no" vote on Resolution No. 66-205.
As there were no objections, Mayor McCaron directed
that the City Clerk record Councilman Morehead's vote
as being in the negative on Resolution No. 66-205.

Regarding the letter from Charles E. Berthel dated
July 23, 1966, regarding Parcel Map No. 713, City
Attorney Flandrick stated the staff recommendation
was to note and file; that the problem was he had
not complied with the conditions of approval on a
prior lot split; that the City Engineer was now
processing a new lot split application relating to
the same property; that the same condition would
be imposed; that he had a right of appeal to the
Board and thereafter to the City Council.

Councilwoman Gregory stated that on July 20, 1966, the
Maine Avenue Improvement Project was accepted as
approved by the City Engineer; that since that time
she had received phone calls from business regarding
drive approaches.
City Engineer French stated there was a problem with
the drive approaches because of the sidewalk adjacent
to the curb; that there was no problem if the people
enter the drives properly; that they were the standard
drives that the City had used for some time.
Mayor McCaron asked if it was the fast rise that the
people were objecting to.
City Engineer French states yes, that when the side-
walk was put adjacent to the curb there were instances
where sidewalks being adjacent to the curb they had to
come up rather abruptly and if they drove in fast the
cars bounce and drag.
Mayor McCaron stated if the City had gonehback as far
as they could, this was not the City's problem; that
he thought a dedication would be in order first before
any driveway was extended back further and sloped
back; that this might throw the sidewalk out of kilter.
He asked if it was possible to have a narrow sidewalk
and a wide driveway approach.
City Engineer French stated this had been done in some
areas where there were problems.

Councilman Adair stated he had received calls concerning
the poor supervision of the Teen Post.
Mayor McCaron stated the people in charge of the Teen
Post should receive the first complaint on this.
Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated he had
attended one of their Council Meetings made up of
15-20 teenagers; that they:made somewhat minor decisions
on the conduct and the operation; that the Director had
been changed. He stated there were many problems; that
he would contact the adult board to see if more inner
control could be exerted on the entire operation.
Captain O'Leary stated he would be attending their
Council Meeting on August 4, 1966. He stated that
there was a small nucleus of trouble makers that had
more or less taken over and driven out most of the
teenagers that would like to enjoy the place. He
further explained the E.Y.O.A. program and the problems
involved; that Miss Avilla was the Director at the
present time.

Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated in the budget
sessions the change in the rate for mileage was considered
for driving personal automobiles; that the rate of $.07 a
mile was established about 1957; that there had been
appreciation in the cost since that time but no change in
that particular allowance; that he had suggested $.09 a
mile and someone suggested $.IO a mile; that in the last
two years staff cars had been provided for Department
Heads and others who need them for field work so there
was not too much money involved in a twelve 12) month
period; that the change from $.07 to $.10 possibly would
not involve more than $1-00.00 to $150.00 a year; that
sufficient funds had been appropriated and he recommended
that the City Council increase the rate from $.07 to $.10
a mile for any City Official authorized to submit expense
vouchers.
COUNCILMAN MOREHEAD MOVED THAT UPON THE RECOMMENDATION OF
THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER THAT THE MILEAGE NOW
ALLOWED AT $.07 A MILE BE INCREASED TO $.IO A MILE FOR
ANYONE IN THE CITY ON OFFICIAL BUSINESS THAT IS AUTHORIZED
TO SUBMIT AN EXPENSE ACCOUNT. COUNCILMAN CRITES SECONDED.
Discussion followed that the City of San Diego allowed
$.15 a mile and many others allowed $.II and $.12; that

distances.

He further stated that the Council would be kept informed
as to any necessary rate change; that this would require a
report and this could not be done until the next fiscal
year; that there was a contingency when the district was
formed.
Mayor McCaron stated he thought where lights were going in
and there were existing poles that these existing poles
should be used; that any new area opening up should be re-
required to have ornamental light poles.
City Engineer French stated this would be only for upgrad-
ing existing areas where the property owners were initiat-
ing the improvements.
Councilwoman Gregory asked if the poles could be moved to
the rear and the ornamental poles placed in areas where
curbs, gutters and sidewalks were going in.
Mayor McCaron stated he thought this should be taken care
of as a separate item.
City Engineer French stated that an attempt had been made
to do as Mrs. Gregory had suggested with Baldwin Park Boule-
vard; however, it was necessary to obtain an easement on
the rear; that the property owners were contacted regard-
ing easements and both utility companies agreed to go on
the rear property line, but this was unsuccessful.
Councilwomari.-Gregory asked if in the future the property
owners could be asked if they would want to have the
utility pole moved back to a rear easement.
Mayor McCaron stated it could be requested, but he did
not think the Council should make any demands.
In answer to a question by Councilman Adair, Mayor McCaron
stated the only advantage to putting in steel poles would
be the aesthetic value; that there was an installation cost
of approximately $135.00 and the pole still belonged to the
power company; that to gain an advantage from putting in
ornamental poles the City would have to buy the poles at
the cost of approximately $.00.00 to $500.00 a pole.
In answer to a question by Mayor McCaron, City Engineer
French statediheeproblem at the present time was that the
City was being contacted for additional lights; that a
policy to proceed was needed.
Discussion followed.
Councilman Morehead stated it was his desire to see all of
the streets lighted; that lights were now being installed
at intersections and possibly some 200-400 feet away another
light was being put in; that this was not what he had in-
tended; that he had intended to have lights between these
lights and illuminate the entire street and put them on
existing poles; that he was expecting the streets to be
lighted adequately, a light every 150-200 feet or whatever
was adequate, and to be mounted on existing poles; that
if a particular street wanted ornamental poles then the
particular property owners involved should have to pay for
them.
City Attorney Flandrick stated this could be done by
setting up zones ithin the district whereby the people
decide by petition that they want ornamental poles; that
Mr. French's question was how this would be processed.
