for mobile home facilities and that she assumed walls, slabs,
pipes, etc. would be installed and these would have to be
torn out at a later date.
Mr. Chivetta stated the applicant agreed to remove all

R-I property; that as a condition a time limit, possibly
on an annual basis, could be included so the units could

the applicant would be applying to the Board of Zoning
Adjustment for a conditional use permit after he knew

Planning Director Chivetta explained that the Planning RESUME
Commission had been instructed by the Council to make a
study of service stations and consider the types of
regulations that could be imposed upon them; that the
Commission had adopted Resolution No. PC 66-28 recommend-
ing regulations to be included in the Zoning Code entitled

uniform standards and eliminate repetitious resolutions with
conditions of approval for conditional use permits. He
referred to the proposed ordinance in the agenda packets.

Subparagraph 4, should be clarified as to restrictions.
Subparagraph 5, did not state whether tire cabinets, etc.
could be placed against property lines. Page 3, subparagraph
d, was not clear as to painting of signs on buildings and
cabinets. Subparagraph f, would eliminate rotating signs.
He suggested rotating signs would not be objectionable if
they were limited to eight 8) r.p.m. per minute. Subsection
II c raised planting area" could present a problem where
openings occur, and possibly this could be subject to the
design of the building. Subsection 11 d and page 4, item
9 could be clarified.
Mr. Chivetta stated Section If d, could be clarified by
stating or within a 6" high by 6" wide concrete curbing"
and Section If c, except at openings" could be added.
Mayor McCaron called for further testimony.
Discussion followed wherein Council deleted Item 9, page
4, indicating approval of an 8 r.p.m. sign without flashing
lights or beacons and stipulated that service stations
must have an operator and that a conditional use permit
be required when a residential area is within 500 feet
of the property.
As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak
either in behalf of or in opposition, Mayor McCaron

Bertha Staskus, 4111 Walnut Street, stated she was in
favor of the proposed Ordinance.
TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS WAS
CALLED FOR BY MAYOR MCCARON.
Mr. John McCoy, 4539 North Center, stated he objected to
the 6,000 square ft. lots; that this would be inequitable
as far as deep lots were concerned; that people could create
their own larger lots or buildings; that the increased
cost would put certain houses out of reach of working men;
that only two houses on deep lots could cause rubbish
accumulation; that twenty feet between dwellings was to
much and 12 ft. driveways were not necessary; that a 20 ft.
set back on a cul-de-sac was excessive and the County only
required 15 ft. He inquired as to what would happen if on
a two bedroom house the owner wanted to add a third bedroom,
would they have to build a 300 square ft. room under the
new regulations?
City Attorney Flandrick stated that If the new ordinance
went into effect builders would have to comply with the
regulations as set forth.

MAYOR MCCARON CALLED FOR FURTHER TESTIMONY. TESTIMONY
Bill Messeik, 4402 Landis, stated he thought the City had BILL MESSEIK
enough chicken coops; that the City should be improved by 4402 Landis
larger homes on larger lots; that if people have small homes
they try to enlarge them; that a look into the future, say
1970, is larger lots and houses with more recreation area;
that small size invites builders to build cheap houses; that
a ten foot driveway was not adequate, but twelve feet allowed
room for landscaping and more privacy.
In answer to Mayor McCaron's question regarding Deep lots,
Page 9, Section 9554, Mr. Chivetta stated that on a corner
lot it could be more specific and read, 20 feet minimum
set back from the face of the garage to the sidewalk."
Mayor McCaron stated there should be a minimum building size
regardless of the number of bedrooms; 1,000 square ft. mini-
mum excluding the garage area and a minimum yard depth to
encourage larger rear yards, however he questioned the 60'
lot width and suggested a 55' mimimum width with a 6,000
square ft. minimum as this would allow for more open space
and yard.
Mr. Chivetta'explained the present code states 1300 square
ft. and up".
Mayor McCaron and Councilman Crites stated that Page 4,
No. 7, off street parking facilities, not to exceed two
cars", should be clarified providing for residents and
roomers, etc.
City Attorney Flandrick suggested deleting on Page 4,
No. 9 a, Commercial Vehicles: for longer than a 24 hour
period".
Councilman Crites stated he would like to see larger houses
and Councilman Morehead stated that 55 ft. frontage would
not provide an adequate rear yard area for recreation.
Mayor McCaron stated his reason for preferring a 55 foot
wide lot rather than a 60 foot lot; that the remaining
5 foot could be better utilized either at the rear of the
dwelling or for a future driveway, if the lot is so designed;
that a 60 foot lot would be a greater expense economically
while 55 feet would give more recreational area at the side
or rear of the lot and make it possible to store campers,
etc. in the rear of homes.
Discussion followed regarding the economic factors involved
in relation to lot width. Final decision on the matter was
reserved until after the Council had heard comments from the
Commission on lot width.
As there was no further testimony regarding AZC-19
Mayor McCaron declared the public hearing closed.
City Attorney Flandrick stated that the ordinance
would be redrafted, submitted to the Commission
for their comments, and resubmitted to the Council.

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Kalinak, Agent for a Zone Variance to vary with the
Baldwin Park Zoning Ordinance No. 357, Section 9601,
subsection E to allow the erection and maintenance
of a free standing sign in excess of 100 square feet
of sign face area and 55 feet in height in the C-1
neighborhood commercial) Zone upon a parcel of land
located at 13011 Garvey Avenue.
Planning Director Chivetta stated that the Board of
Zoning Adjustments reason for denial of ZV-150 was
that it was not compatible with the surrounding area
and that it was abutting a duplex and that the
illumination of the sign would be a detriment to
the property and to the residents residing therein.
He continued that this evening the Council had con-
sidered the Service Station Regulations proposed by
the Planning Commission; that one of the proposals
was to limit sign height for service stations to
45 feet maximum height and sign face area for free
standing signs to 100 square feet. Based on this,
the staff recommends that the Council concur with
the Planning Commission's Service Station Regulations
and limit the sign, if they wish to overrule the
Board, to 45 feet in height and sign face area of
200 square feet.
Mr. Chivetta indicated the subject property on a
map posted on the wall and its proximity to the
apartment house; he also called attention to the
proposed location of the sign and the sign itself
proposed to be 7 feet in height and 34.8 feet in
width bearing the copy Richfield" for a total
sign face area of 269 square feet.
Mayor McCaron asked if there was any new testimony
to be given this evening.

Mr. Leonard Diestard, 1786 Lincoln Avenue, Anaheim, LEONARD DIESTARD, 1786
California, stated that a 45 foot maximum sign height Lincoln Ave., Anaheim
would be acceptable to them; that it would be discrimina-
tion to deny the Variance after consideration of
that fact; that others have been granted Variances for the
same request.
Mayor McCaron stated that it seemed to him that from
the recommendations made that the point to consider here
is the interference of the sign with the apartment house.
Mr. Diestard stated that the service station has been in
existence longer than the apartment house; that it is a
matter of opinion whether the sign was detrimental; they
did not think so.
In answer to a question from Mayor McCaron, Planning
Director Chivetta stated that existing upon the property
at present is a free standing Richfield sign at the same
general location as the proposed sign; that most residents in the
area are tolerant of that sign; that when a change is to be
made the residents become aware of the situation and
complain.

Mayor McCaron asked if the present sign is more in
line with the windows at the present height. Mr.
Chivetta replied yes", that the existing sign is
more in line with the structure; that the proposed
sign would be considerably higher.
Mayor McCaron asked if this would not alleviate
some of the light shining directly into the apartment
house, if the sign were higher rather than at the
same level. Mr. Chivetta replied that this would
be the case.
Mr. Diestard stated that this was a point that was
brought out at an earlier meeting; that the sign
would be higher than the windows or roof line of the
apartment building.
Mayor McCaron stated that it would appear that there
would be an advantage in raising the sign; that the
application was filed prior to the proposed Service
Station Regulations; that he felt that this applica-
tion should be treated in a different way; that any
future applications would be required to conform to
the new regulations; that if it would be to the benefit
of the apartment to raise the sign he had no objection
to raising the sign, if the illumination would not be
increased on the apartment house.
Discussion followed regarding sign illumination, and
the height of the proposed sign in relation to other
service station signs in the area.
Councilwoman Gregory questioned whether raising of
the sign might not illuminate the whole of the apart-
ment house rather than only the lower portion of the
building.
Mr. Diestard offered in testimony a photograph of the
existing sign with the apartment house in the back-
ground. He stated that it appeared to be 30 feet and
the sign at this elevation appeared to be higher than
the apartment; therefore, if the sign were to be raised
as high as the Texaco sign it would be approximately 40
feet higher than the apartment building. This would
allow the light from the sign to go out rather than down
because of the metal portion at the bottom of the sign
to deflect the light.
Mayor McCaron asked if the sign could be shielded on
the ends to further deflect light from the apartment.
Mr. Diestard stated that there is no illumination from
the end; that there is a covering around the bottom and
sides so that the light reflects directly out, away
from the sign.
As there was no further testimony the public hearing PUBLIC HEARING DECLARED
was declared closed by Mayor McCaron. CLOSED ZV-150
Councilman Morehead stated that this case is one that
caused Council to issue a moratorium on service stations
so that a study could be made and new regulations
written; that he was wondering whether this case should
be considered under the old or new regulations in
view of the fact that he had tentatively approved the
new service station ordinance which does not allow signs
of this size and height.

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
City Attorney Flandrick stated that the applicant had
stated that he would be willing to accept a sign height
of 45 feet, which is in accordance with the proposed new
standards.
Councilman Morehead stated that, in his opinion, to
permit the sign to be more compatible with other signs
in the area he wondered if the applicant would consider
a sign higher than 45 feet and limit the sign face area
to 200 square feet.
As there were no objections, Mayor McCaron reopened the
public hearing.
Councilman Morehead directed his question to Mr. Kalinak
as to whether the applicants would prefer a sign as high
as their competitors or a sign of the height as recommended
by the Board of Zoning Adjustments with a larger sign
face area.

PUBLIC HEARING
REOPENED
Mr. Kalinak replied that he felt the larger sign face area
was the most important.
Mayor McCaron asked if the sign had already been made.
Mr. Kalinak replied that it was the standard freeway
size sign and that the existing sign was 83 square feet.
Mayor McCaron stated that he would not object to granting
the sign at the square footage requested and at 45 feet
in height if after the sign is erected it is found that
there is an increase in light being directed at the
apartment house.
Mr. Kalinak replied that some shielding of the light
might be possible by placing a metal shield across the
end.
Councilwoman Gregory stated that the way the sign is
situated that shielding will not be of help if the sign
face area is enlarged.

Planning Director Chivetta stated that the Council had ZV-I58
appealed to themselves the Board of Zoning Adjustments
approval of Case No. ZV-158, an application submitted
by Roccie Schavoni for a Zone Variance to vary with the
Baldwin Park Municipal Code to develop less than an
acre of land in the C-2-A Zone upon a parcel of land
located at 3090 Maine Avenue. He stated that the
matter was referred to the Planning Commission for
study of the C-2-A Zone; that the Commission conducted
a public hearing Case No. AZC-20); that after considerable
deliberation, the Commission determined that the C-2-A
zoned properties within the city were appropriately
classified; that the Variance procedure had been abused;
that in order to insure proper protection of the area
that no further Variances be granted unless the same
comply with Chapter 4, Article 3, Section 65906 of the
Planning and Zoning Law, State of California, which
sets up the requirements for granting of a Variance.
Mr. Chivetta further stated that the hearing has been
closed for Case No. ZV-158.
Posted on the wall was a land use and zoning map of
the subject property; also a plot plan of the proposed
development which Mr. Chivetta called to the Council's
attention. He again stated that the public hearing
was closed.
Mayor McCaron stated that the Council had a communication
from the Planning Commission regarding their hearing;
that testimony of the owners of property in the area
indicate that they are satisfied with the C-2 A zoning;
that he did not feel that the granting of Variances
parcel by parcel would aid in the development of the
area; that he was not altogether certain that C-2-A
zoning was sufficient to induce proper development
over the entire area; that the area might need further
study in order to ensure that the entire area would
benefit from any type of development; that he would
be against allowing the Variance to go through for
that reason. He suggested that perhaps an overlay
zone would be another way in which to ensure an orderly
development of the area.
Councilwoman Gregory stated that the Council had
appealed the decision of the Board of Zoning Adjustments
without being aware that the adjacent property had been

cleared for some action also; that two pieces of property
had been purchased indicating that someone had gone to
some expense in furthering this development. She questioned
how denial of the Variance would affect Mr. Schavoni
Mayor McCaron stated that if someone proceeds with a
development before the matter is resolved, that the
City has no control over that; that others should
not suffer simply because someone jumped the gun;
that this is development of one parcel with no thought
as to what happens to other properties; that the only
properties to benefit from this application and continue
to develop would be those facing Francisquito. Those
properties facing onto Maine Avenue were practically
shut off. He was of the opinion that development should
not be allowed on less than an acre parcel of land; that
if the City continued to grant Variances for lesser
developments that this would be to the detriment of
the City and other property owners in the area.
Councilwoman Gregory said that the property abutting
Mr. Schavoni's was granted a Variance in the past
to develop less than an acre; that the parcel had
been cleared; that she would like to know what was
planned to be constructed upon the property.
Planning Director Chivetta replied that the adjacent
property which has its frontage on Francisquito Avenue
had a Variance granted to develop less than an acre;
that there has been a permit issued to construct a
drive-in taco stand. Mr. Chivetta continued that there
have been previous Variance approved for less than
acre development for the Union 76 service station on
the corner of Tracy and Baldwin Park Boulevard; the
Mobile Oil Station; the Shelf Oil Station on the corner
of Francisquito and Baldwin Park Boulevard.
Councilwoman Gregory said this was a larger problem
than just Mr. Schavoni's case.
In answer to Mayor McCaron's question as to which parcel
had been granted a Variance adjacent to Mr. Schavoni's,
Planning Director Chivetta stated that this was the
parcel facing onto Francisquito Avenue, opposite the
prolongation of Paddy Lane; that this Variance had been
granted approximately 9 months ago.
Mayor McCaron and Councilman Morehead stated they were
not aware that this property had been granted a Variance.
Discussion followed regarding the fact that if a Variance
should be approved by the Board which did not meet with
the favor of the Council, if the Council was not aware
of this before their next meeting date, then the Variance
would become final. Discussion involved finding a solu-
tion to this problem; some way in which the Council would
be aware of each action taken by the Board before such
action became final.
Councilwoman Gregory spoke of the Information Sheet prepared
by the Planning Department after each meeting of the
Board of Zoning Adjustments and Planning Commission
which informs the Council and citizens of action taken
by those bodies.
Mayor McCaron stated that a Zone Variance that is tantamount
to a zone change should be referred to Council.

City Attorney Flandrick suggested that in the future, there
be another listing on the Council Agenda with the heading
Board of Zoning Adjustments"; that listed be the matters
passed by the Board the preceding week. He stated that
this would be a double check on the Information Sheet; that
if there is some item with which a Council member is not
familiar with, it could be explained at the time of the
Council Meeting by the Planning Director.
Mayor McCaron stated that if there was no further discussion
a motion for dismissal of ZV-158 was in order.
COUNCILMAN MOREHEAD MOVED THAT THE COUNCIL CONCUR WITH MOTION MADE
THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION AND DENY ZV-158.
MAYOR MCCARON SECONDED.
Councilwoman Gregory questioned what legal implications
might arise with Mr. Schavoni.
City Attorney Flandrick stated that this Variance is
only because of lot size; not because of usage or
anything else; there is no problem with uses permitted.
The same problem can be noted on any of the lots in
the area. These lots cannot be used for anything in
the absence of a Variance. If the Council feels that
the granting of the Variance would have an adverse
effect upon the surrounding properties and was not
compatible with the provisions of the ordinance and
the General Plan, then the Council was free to deny
the case. He stressed that the Council should be
satisfied on these points and be fully aware of the
problems that confront Mr. Schavoni.
Mayor McCaron stated that he felt granting of this type
Variance would be detrimental to the entire area; that
even on an acre basis development might still be
detrimental without a planned development of the entire
area.
Councilwoman Gregory stated that even though the
Variance pending before the Council this evening might
be denied, the adjacent property's Variance could not
be revoked.
Mayor McCaron maintained that testimony heard from
property owners within the area indicated that they
wished the area to remain C-2.A; that they did not
want developments on less than an acre.
Councilman Morehead stated that property owners of
the area were in the audience this evening.
City Attorney Flandrick stated that this is a peculiar
situation in that this was a lot which could not be
used for any purpose without the Variance, because of the
lot size; that this is an inherent problem in the C-2 A
Zone.
Mayor McCaron asked if there could be a check to determine
if this property owner objected to the C-2-A Zoning at the
time this was up for public hearing. He stated that if the
property owner did not object at that time, then he couldn't
complain if Council should deny this case.

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Councilman Morehead stated that the property owner
was in favor of denial of this Variance; that the
property owner was not the applicant; that the
property owner was in the audience.
City Attorney Flandrick stated that if the owners
of the property did not want the Variance that all
they had to do was file a letter with the City Clerk
and withdraw the application; this case would then
be dropped.
Mayor McCaron asked Mr. Farmer if he was the owner
of the property in question.
Mr. Ralph Farmer, 3090 North Maine Avenue, Baldwin Park
stated that he had lived at this address for 20 years;
that he did not apply for the Variance.
City Attorney Flandrick asked Mr. Farmer who did apply
for the Variance.
Mr. David Gilman, 9040 East Huntington Drive, San
Gabriel, stated that possibly he could clarify the
situation. He said that he was in the real estate
business; that Mr. Farmer was selling his property
to the applicant; that the property had been in escrow
since April II, 1966; that the sale is subject to
the granting of the Variance; that at the time the
application for Variance was filed there was no
communication given to anyone, either Mr. Farmer or
himself or Mr. Schavoni the applicant) that there
was an impossible situation to get a Variance.
City Attorney Flandrick repeated that the public
hearing on this matter was closed. He suggested
that the matter be held over so that he could examine
the escrow papers before any action was taken on
the matter.
Mayor McCaron asked Mr. Farmer what his attitude was
towards the case.
Mr. Farmer replied that at the time the property
was listed with the real estate firm there were
two properties, enough land to provide an acre
development.
In answer to a question from the Mayor, Mr. Farmer
repeated that he owned the corner lot, the one that
was being sold, and that nothing was done about the
property next door; that they had a chance to sell
what he had, they sold it and forgot about the other
one.

Mayor McCaron referred to the sentence in Section 230
b) 3) reading: The City shall provide the services
of a Certified Court Reporter at all such hearings."
He asked if, as the Personnel Board has the final say,
if it was necessary to have a record of proceedings.
City Attorney Flandrick stated the reason for having
the services of a court reporter was that if there were
any kind of a judicial review involved, that without
the reporter, the City Clerk was put in the position
of preparing a manuscript; that this was time consuming
that the cost of the reporter $50 to $75 per hearing)
was in his opinion well worth having.
Mayor McCaron asked if, as in Zone Variance Case No.
ZV-158, a decision was rendered that was not to the
liking of the Council, could the Council appeal such
a decision to themselves.
City Attorney Flandrick replied no, not under the revised
resolution.
Councilwoman Gregory stated that the resolution was
drafted in accordance with the employees' wishes; that
if there should be some problem in the future that they
could ask for a revision of the resolution.

Councilwoman Gregory stated that she had been contacted
by a spokesman for several mothers from the Tracy Street
School on a matter that would concern the Traffic Committee
about children walking on Frazier to Kenmore, and from
their homes to Tracy Street; that there were no sidewalks
or crosswalks, no posted signs stating that this was a
school area; for this reason they were hoping that the
Traffic Committee would make a study and post school zone
signs, speed limit signs, and paint crosswalks wherever
necessary.
Mayor McCaron stated that this matter would be turned

Í«Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
submitted by American Oil Company, G. H. Sandquist, Agent,
for a Zone Variance pursuant to the Baldwin Park Zoning
Ordinance No. 357, Section E I) to allow the erection
and maintenance of a free standing fin sign in excess of
100 square feet per sign face area, 600 feet high, in the
C-2 heavy commercial) Zone, upon a parcel of land located
at 13755 Francisquito Avenue.
Planning Director Chivetta stated that this case was basic-
ally the same as the previous case heard; only that the
Board approved a maximum sign height of 45 feet. The
applicant was appealing to the Council to increase the
height limit to 60 feet. He stated that originally the
applicant had submitted an application for Variance for
a sign 70 feet in height; the Board of Zoning Adjustments
approved the same, but limited the height to 45 feet. The
applicant appealed to the Council; Council upheld the Board's
decision. Subsequently, the applicant reapplied for a
Variance for a sign 60 feet in height; again the Board
limited the sign to 45 foot maximum height. The applicant
again appealed; this appeal was now before Council. The
applicant is requesting a sign, 227.50 square feet of
sign face area and 60 feet in height, so that the sign
may be viewed from the freeway. Mr. Chivetta further
stated that the staff has made a comprehensive study and
had determined that the sign was visible at 45 feet, and
this was the staff recommendation to the Board.
The applicant was not in the audience. Mayor McCaron
requested testimony in behalf of the request or in
opposition to the request. As none was offered, the
public hearing was closed.
Mayor McCaron stated that since the topography in
this location resembled that of other service station
signs in the area, he thought that in fairness to
the applicant, this sign also should be allowed a
height limit of 60 feet; also that the size of the
sign was in keeping with others already installed in
the area. He further suggested that all future signs
be in keeping with the new Service Station Regulations.
Since this application was filed prior to the new regulations,
Mayor McCaron felt that in. this case there could be an
exception to the new regulations.
Discussion followed regarding height of service station
signs in the area.
MOTION WAS MADE BY MAYOR MCCARON THAT THE REQUEST BE
GRANTED FOR A 60 FOOT HEIGHT AND 227 SQUARE FEET OF
SIGN FACE AREA, WITH THE SAME RESTRICTIONS AND
PROVISIONS AS GRANTED BY THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS.
COUNCILMAN MOREHEAD SECONDED. The motion carried by
the following vote:
AYES: MAYOR MCCARON, COUNCILMEN MOREHEAD,
AND ADAIR
NOES: COUNCILMAN CRITES AND GREGORY
ABSENT: NONE

City Attorney Flandrick stated that AZC-20 hac been
deleted from the agenda. Also regarding N-42, Mr.
Flandrick recommended that the Council dismiss pro-
ceedings on the matter on the grounds that the nuisance
had been abated.
