on the acceptance of dedication of a sewer easement on
the Olive Street school site from the Baldwin Park
School District stating the recommendation was that the

alternate route would be more costly, to go over to
Merced and down Olive.

construct any sewer facility in the area; that this

single family residential) to R-3 heavy multiple
residential) or more restrictive use upon parcels of land
bounded on the northeast by Francisquito Avenue, Robinette
Avenue to the northwest, Waco Street to the southwest

Planning Director Chivetta presented a resume stating
the Planning Commission had adopted Resolution No. PC
66-40 on November 3, 1966, recommending approval. He

nine 29) parcels; that they were deep lots; that the
Planning Commission would be holding a public hearing
on December 28, I966,for a Specific Street Plan for this
area.
Mayor McCaron asked if the parcel with three residences
was due to a lot split.
Planning Director Chivetta stated it was not known how
this came about, probably by a policy statement or perhaps
a variance or some other special consideration; that there
were no lot splits in the area where there were multiple
dwellings, except one instance located off of Frazier, a
flag lot.
Mayor McCaron asked if there had been any plan of development
brought to the City.
Planning Director Chivetta stated the Planning Commission
was told by citizens residing in the area that they had
proposals to develop on a parcel to parcel basis or a
combination of parcels for one large complex.
Mayor McCaron asked if this area was conducive to good
R-3 development.
Planning Director Chivetta stated in the foreseeable
future the area would be conducive to multiple type
dwellings because of its location to the freeway and
Baldwin Park Boulevard.
Mayor McCaron asked if it was possible in the remaining
portion of the block to have a street pattern for that
area.

Planning Director Chivetta stated the Specific Street
Plan as specified by the General Plan depicts a street
which would bisect the rear property line of those
properties fronting on Tracy and Francisquito, however
this was not a logical plan at present and the staff
recommended to the Planning Commission that they con-
duct a hearing for a Specific Street Plan either in
terms of an alley for secondary access or a street plan;
that they were working on this now to submit to the
Planning Commission on December 28, 1966; that definite
recommendations had been made in the R-3 reclassification R-3 RECLASSIFICATION
study; that each of the Council members had received a STUDY
copy.
TESTIMONY IN BEHALF OF THE REQUEST WAS CALLED FOR BY TESTIMONY IN BEHALF
MAYOR MCCARON.
Mr. H. H. Erwing, 800 Sunset, West Covina, stated he H. H. ERWING,
owned property at 13441 Tracy; that the lot was 346 800 Sunset, W. Cov.
feet in depth and 80 feet wide; that he bought it
with the purpose in mind of building; that he felt
the lot was too big to build two houses on it; that
he had applied for the R-3 zoning which the Planning
Commission had turned down because they planned to
initiate the entire area into an R-3 zone; that he
would like to concur with the Planning Commission
on this project; that it was time for development
and he was ready to develop; that the lots on Tracy
were all large lots; that C" zoning had moved up
next to them; that R-3 would be a good development;
that he had plans drawn up and was ready to apply
for a building permit as soon as was possible.
Mr. Paul James, 13449 East Tracy Street, Baldwin Park, PAUL JAMES,
stated we" have been very active concerning this 13449 E. Tracy St.,
general area as outlined by Mr. Chivetta; that it B.Pk.
started by a request for a spot zoning; that as he
understood the presentation and they supported it;
that he spoke for a number of people concerning this;
that they had been arguing very hard that the ordinance
for the R-3 be amended and certain additions made to
it; that they hoped that this change would be made
contemporaneously with the amendments to the R-3 Code
contingent upon the street plan being adopted for the
area;lhat if it was so zoned that these contingencies
would ride with it so that there would be a good
street plan and good traffic flow through the area
and ordinances governing the construction of the area
to lend itself toward preventing anything that would
be detrimental to the community.
Mr. Edward Parrott, 13502 Tracy, Baldwin Park, stated
his property was 80 x 320; that he had been trying for
the last three years to develop his property; that he
was glad that the Council saw fit at that time to turn
him down because he saw now where the Building Codes
were going to be changed and he believed a nice neighbor-
hood could be made there in the future; that he was
definitely in favor now of the change.

ness and he could not see having that improvement and then
having a dark alley behind for easier access to vandalism.
He asked when the alley would be put in and how would it
be maintained.
Mayor McCaron stated the alley did not really have anything
to dpwith the change of zone and the usage at the present
time, however, it appeared that an alley might be necessary
for the development, or another street.
Mr. Moore asked at the south side of Tracy Street would it
be a dog leg alley, straight alley or blind alley.
Planning Director Chivetta pointed out where it would dog
leg; that the property would be acquired through de6ficatfor
or some form of Short Form Act; that the developer would be
required to dedicate in order to develop his land.
Mayor McCaron asked if Mr. Moore had any opposition to the
neighboring development of more intensive use of the
neighboring property.
Mr. Moore stated not as long as it did not raise his taxes
or disturb the serenity of the neighborhood.
Mayor McCaron stated this could not be guaranteed; that
there would certainly be more traffic.
Mayor McCaron stated it would seem that this was a fairly
large section of land and there was also a large section
of ground on Baldwin Park Boulevard which not too far in
the past was changed to R-3, and after it was changed to
R-3 a portion of it was asked to be changed to less
restrictive, commercial property; that up to this date
since the change had been made there had not been one
parcel developed; that as far as the need for additional
R-3 property in Baldwin Park, the need certainly could not
be shown at the present time; that it might be in the
future but certainly could not be right now; however if
this was to be considered there should be some procedure
for development; that the street plan should be determined
and dedications should be made before the zone was changed;
that everyone should concur with the development; that as
far as the testimony was concerned there had only been
four 4) people testify and for the number of parcels
in that area that hardly was representative.
Councilman Morehead stated he did not see any reason
for not acting on Z-294 this evening; that he had studied
the R-3 zoning study; that up to this point he did not
see anything wrong with the recommendation due to the
deep lots in that area and due to being so near the freeway
and Baldwin Park Boulevard; that this development would
certainly straighten out Tracy Street'.
Mayor McCaron stated the street problem should be resolved
before any further consideration should be taken; that
dedications would probably be received from the ones who
were ready to develop but not from the ones who were not,
and this would work a hardship on the ones who were ready
or willing to develop; that the street should be adequate
to handle the traffic; that he realized most of the traffic
that eminates from Tracy would come out on Baldwin Park
Boulevard; that Frazier in the future would be a major
street the same as Baldwin Park Boulevard especially for
the amount of traffic it would carry.

Councilwoman Gregory questioned as to the width of the
streets, Tracy and Robinette, that the General Plan
indicated sixty 60) feet, but she thought they were
about thirty 30) feet at the moment; that there were
eight 8) people at the Planning Commission who expressed
the desire to have the property reclassified to R-3,
people on Robinette as well as on Tracy; that there were
some who were not included who wished to be included; that
in the past few years quite a number of people had called
and asked about this particular area since they were so
close to Baldwin Park Boulevard; that she thought they
would be real happy with the change; that she did not
know how happy they would be tax wise because she was
quite sure that the taxes would go up after a zone
change.
I
Mayor McCaron asked what happened to the overlay plan
that was suggested in the past wherein Planning Director
Chivetta stated this had been set aside.
Mayor McCaron stated he was not ready to pass Z-294 this
evening; that there should be more information; that the
street problem should be resolved before the Council pro-
ceeded with this; that the area as far as developing into
R-3 was not bad in itself; that the size of the lots were
not bad and there would be access from the freeway and
both directions from it, Frazier and Baldwin Park Boulevard,
but access as far as Tracy was concerned was necessary; that
it was only one-half of a street at one end; that it was
only a thirty 30) foot street for a good portion of it
and there should be some assurance that traffic could
circulate both ways.
Councilman Crites stated contingent upon a street plan
he was in favor of it but he would rule out just an
alley in place of a street; that if there was a
necessity for another ingress and egress that it should
be a full blown street; that the lots were big enough
to support that type of development; that it would
make the R-3 usage more feasible if there was another
street.
City Attorney Flandrick stated the Planning Commission
would be conducting a public hearing at their next
meeting on a Specific Plan for streets in this particular
area relating to this proposed change of zone; that he
would presume that the Council would have that report
for the second meeting in January.
Councilman Adair stated he would rather see a street
plan instead of an alley; that Robinette was only thirty
30) feet wide right now and ran dead end.
Discussion followed concerning holding the public hearing
open wherein City Attorney Flandrick stated at the time
the people came down to be heard on the question of the
street pattern they would probably also have comments
with reference to the zoning.

during office hours but any evening any time or place that
the people would desire to meet with him as a person or as
a group to discuss this matter as to what could be done.
Councilman Morehead asked where the City would be if this was
already zoned R-3 and the development was about to start.
Mayor McCaron stated the City Would be in the same place
they were in in a lot of other areas where the City would
have to dig up,the money to acquire access. He further
stated that he would like to avoid any trqubie of going
through condemnation to acquire property for the balance
of the street.

Mayor McCaron stated this should give sufficient time for
the Planning Commission to make their decision on the streets
and to contact these two gentlemen that wanted to work on
this and they or the Planning Director could contact the
people with them and ascertain if dedication could not be
had on enough of that street to make 4ccess at least through
to Robinette so that it was proper up to that particular
area which would be the south side of Tracy Street.
Mr. Erwing asked if the public hearing could be continued
to the first part of February instead of January 18, 1967.

MAYOR MCCARON.
Isabel L. Christie, 3955 N. La Rica, Baldwin Park, said ISABEL L. CHRISTIE,
everything in the letter stated how she felt on this matter, 3955 N. La Rica, B. Pk.
Mayor McCaron asked the City Engineer for his findings
in this case.
City Engineer French stated at the time the district was
formed the Department recommended the short forming for
curb, gutter, sidewalk and drive approach; that there was
a protest filed by Mrs. Christie and Mr. Bennett regarding
the curb and gutter in that they said it was put in accord-
ing to County standards and County era; that his Department
did not find any records that would indicate this was so
and di.d not find any against.; that the curb was not to a Iine
and grade nor was the street paved to the curb which would
indicate that it would have been an accepted curb; that
because of this possible discrepancy it was Indicated to
the Council that a plan had been found that indicated it
as a curb and recommended to the Council that they eliminate
the curb and gutter requirement on the short form and the
City would bear the expense and the property owner would be
charged.with sidewalk and drive approach which was passed
by the Council;`that the existing approaches did not fit
the grade and even had the curb been left the sidewalk
could not have been put in without the remodeling of the
drive approach; that the drive approaches were broken and
cracked; that they had been installed by not. cutting, as
would be normal for additions to drives, but the curbs
had been broken and the concrete placed to fit the area
which did not indicate an accepted concrete drive; that
it was known that this was not County standard; that
letters had been sent out and no further protests had been
received on the drive approaches and they were constructed.
Mrs. Christie stated there were three 3) parcels but
there were four 4) parties.
City Engineer French stated there had been partial
payment on one and one had been completely paid off;
that there were four parcels as far as the improvement
was concerned.
Mrs. Christie stated out of the four parcels there were only
two that had cement approaches to their property already
paved and in, Parcels 2 and 3; that whatever might have
been on Parcel I had long gone with misuse; that on Mr.
Bennett's property on the corner there had never been any
driveway approaches; that they were just dirt approaches and
the curb was open; that she felt that the two of us;'and of
course I'm-only speaking for myself and not for Mr. Vogel",
had been set upon with an extra burden of expense inasmuch as
they had had to replace this because the City had widened
the street beyond what the County had at the time she
purchased,that property; that the fact that it was overruled
without further protest at the time It was taken up in
the spring was that due to her excessive workload she
could not come down and spend this much time at night;
that she felt she should pay for the sidewalk that was
put in front of her. house but she felt she should not
have to pay for another cement driveway approach since
she had had an adequate cement driveway approach; that
truly it had gotten a little cracked by Manning Brothers
when they came in to bring some gravel but it was still
adequate even in that condition.

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Mayor McCaron asked if the driveway she had at the present
time was part of the sidewalk.
City Engineer French stated there were costs for drive
approach which went right through the sidewalk; that the
drive approach thickness must be carried through the side-
walk area which was also part of the drive approach which
did not exist before; that there had been a concrete
approach which was approximately five 5) foot in depth;
that because of the location of the house which happened
to encroach a little bit in the street right-of;-way the,
parkways had to be shortened a little bit; that the
approach that was installed was about eight 8) foot
in length from the back of the curb back; that`it was
twelve 12) feet in depth; that the lineof the curb
was moved back; that the drive now flared out more than
the old one did.
Mayor McCaron asked if this assessment included the new
curb wherein City Engineer French stated no and not the
gutter either; that this assessment included only the
drive approach and sidewalk and the incidental expenses
for measuring etc.
Mayor McCaron asked if there was gutter before wherein
City Engineer French stated no; that there was curb only
and the curb was not in good shape.
Councilman Morehead asked, did this improvement differ from
an improvement which was made with Gas Tax Money wherein
City Engineer French stated basically the difference was
that on Gas Tax Money some items were more liberally
construed than others; that the current situation was
that this was an improvement district in the City; that
the obligation of the people was that they put in curbs,
gutters, sidewalks and drive approaches throughout the
City and everybody was obligated; that on the Gas Tax
Projects the City had done one of two things, they had
either replaced existing improvements or the property
owners had traded dedication for the installation of
curb and gutter; that sometimes concrete had gone back
and sometimes it had not; that it was basically what
the State's review of the project said at that time;
that there was not really any good comparison between
this and a State project because this was a property owner
improvement and under normal circumstances on something
like this if it was done as part of a large assessment
district this property owner would be responsible for
the curb and gutters, sidewalk, drive approach, the
whole works as an improvement or if it was a building permit or
something on that order they would be responsible for all
improvements.
Councilwoman Gregory asked what Mr. French said about
cutting back the street.
City Engineer French stated nothing was done to the street
right-of-way; that the curb and gutter was put in to line
up with the existing curb and gutter on the street; that
the other curb and gutter had been paved to and was a
standard; that this curb had not been paved to; that„there
was a dirt area between the curb and the pavement; that no
new street dedication was taken; that the curb was moved
back approximately two 2) feet; that the existing s+ructure
encroached on the existing street dedication.

Mrs. Christie stated the other curbs and gutters had been
put in many years after she had moved there; that on the
other side of the street there were no curbs, gutters sidewalks
or drive approaches there was just mud.
Discussion followed wherein Mrs. Christie stated the cost
of the driveway approach was $87.60; that the incidental
costs were $32.58 and the sidewalk was $42.70.
City Engineer French stated there was a twelve 12) foot
driveway and two four 4) foot flares making it overall
twenty 20) feet; that the drive approach was thicker
than the sidewalk; that the drive approach went through
the sidewalk area; that when the cost was made the area
that was.in the drive approach, which included some sidewalk
area, was put in the drive area; that under any circumstances
there would be a greater expense than the $80.00; that even
if the curb was in line on the oldapprpach and there had been
no reason to adjust the curb the drive approach that was there
could not have been made to fit the new sipewalk.
As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak PUBLIC HEARING
either in behalf of or in opposition to this Short Form 19'11 CLOSED
Act, Mayor McCaron declared the public hearing closed.
Mayor McCaron stated it appeared to him that there had
been value received inasmuch as the City did stand
part of the cost; that there had been a definite improve-
ment to the property; that he believed the protest should be
denied; that there had been gutter added to the property, longer
width in the driveway which took in considerable area; that the
moving of the curb itself was not charged to the property and he
thought this made it an equitable proportion for the people of
Baldwin Park to pay for.

THE REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT CONFIRMING REPORT OF
OF STREETS 66-S-17) SUPT. OF STS. 66-S-17)
City Attorney Flandrick stated, in accordance with the remarks,
subparagraph f of Section I should be amended to read That
a protest was made and overruled".
Councilman Morehead stated the City Engineer had recommended that
the City pay the curb and gutter and asked the City Engineer to
review the reasoning for this.
City Engineer French stated because in reviewing this the City did
find reference to old plans indicated that the County accepted it
as a curb and there was a question on the matter of the curb as to
the fact that it was possible that it could have gone into the
County standard even though it had not been paved and not to grade;
that based upon that it was recommended that the City install the
curb and gutter; that he felt there was a question regarding the,
curb that could be raised and because of that he made the recommenda-
tion; that he did not feel there was a question on the drive approach.
In answer to questions by Councilman Morehead, City Engineer French
stated there was no record as to when the drive approach or the curb
was installed; that it was obvious that the drive approach had been con-
structed after the curb because the curb had been knocked-out to put
the drive approach in.
Mayor McCaron stated he felt the benefit the property derived was
equitable to the charge that was being mode.

Councilwoman Gregory stated she understood that the bay
window was practically on the sidewalk and asked what did
the sidewalk do to the value of,the property.
Mayor McCaron stated the condition was not good before
there were sidewalks; that the curb was out two 2) feet
further; that the improvement did tie in the paving to the
curb; that there was a concrete gutter rather than no
gutter at all and a sidewalk; that there was a longer
approach to the driveway; that he thought there was a
definite improvement.
Mrs. Christie asked to speak wherein Mayor N;:Caron stated
the public hearing was closed and whatever she stated would
not be for the record and could not be taken into considera-
tion.
Mrs. Christie stated at the height the sidewalk was built
it had created quite a little problem of flooding; that she
now had around her business door a circle of sandbags be-
cause the ramp down from the sidewalk into her blacktop
driveway made an excellent spillway for al I of the rain
into her business establishment; that she was glad to have
sidewalks in front of her house; that she thought the water
would take care of itself after she went to the expense of
drainage.
City Engineer French stated these properties were all
draining away from the street rather than toward the street;
that this was a problem that did exist in this kind of a
situation where the properties were lower than the street;
that Mrs. Christie's property drained toward the rear of her
lot; that it was a common problem; that naturally it was ac-
centuated to some extent when sidewalks go in all areas
because sidewalks,always go in higher than curb elevations.
Mayor McCaron asked if the drainage was the same as before.
Mrs. Christie stated that there had been no flood condition
before.

same category due to the extenuating circumstances; that
he was sure if this drive approach had been recommended at
the time of the curb that he would have considered it; that,
in his opinion, this was a unique case and was quite
unprecedented.

lieved they were acceptable to giving.a sixty 60) day limit
to bring the property up to Code and develop it in
accordance with the zoning laws or clear the property; that
this was the indication at the time they talked with repre-
sentatives of the Building Department; that if they were
still in agreement with this he would recommend that this
be done.
Mr. Gordon Severance, Constitution Savings and Loan, stated GORDON SEVERANCE,,
they would like to request a longer period of time, approx- Constitution- Sav-
imately one hundred twenty 120) days; that since the ings and Loan
time they had requested the matter to be reset for hearing
they had put in twenty-four 24) panes of glass on the
property, replaced a door, rehabilitated and cleaned the
inside, contracted to have a gate and fence across the
front of the property which was not installed as yet;
that they also had a tenant for the property who was plann-
ing to undertake in the next thirty 30) days to submit
some plan modifications which would be in accordance with
the zoning; that they anticipated on a rehabilitated
basis; that there was an option to buy connected with the
lease and if the owner should decide to change the use of
the property he could make that determination; that they
had made a lot of progress with the property up to now;
that they had a highly qualified SRA appraiser here this
evening who had examined the property and could clarify
any questions the Council might have; that he had inspected
the property this date and found it to be in the condition
just described; that the major defect originally raised by
the City in connection with the proposed nuisance hearing
related to the wiring and application for permit to use the
building for business use had been made and would be made
and any defects in this area would be corrected at the time
that the permit was granted subject to the City's regular
inspection.
City Engineer French asked if the building would be secured
through the full one hundred'twenty 120) days so that it
would be closed to the public; that it was open a few days
ago.
Mr. Severance stated the inclement weather kept his
construction people from getting in there sooner; that when
he was there this date there was a basement entrance which
was completely covered over; that he would estimate that
they had spent approximately $300.00 to date and had con-
tracted for another $200.00; that they felt this was
evidence of good faith on their part; that they did have
plans for the property and were not interested in having
boarded up property and not have an adequate land use.
City Engineer French stated he would change his recommenda-
tion to one hundred twenty 120) days subject to the
property being secured so that there would not be a vanda-
lism problem.
Mayor McCaron questioned whether the public hearing should
be held open for sixty 60) days and have a report back
wherein City Engineer French suggested adopting the resolu-
tion with the one hundred twenty 120) days and if there
was any problem it would be brought back to the Council for
action.
Mr. Severance stated he was sure this would be satisfactory.

Councilman Morehead stated at this moment he was not in
agreement with extending the time to one hundred twenty 120)
days; that as large an institution as this Savings and Loan
was and as well managed as it was, he could not understand
why it would take four months to renovate this property.
Mr. Severance stated the tenant it had been leased to was
considering the possibility of constructing an entire) new
structure for C-I use on the property; that thirty 30) days
was needed to get the plans developed for that; that it was
not a certainty it would go in this direction but they be-
lieved it would; that if he did submit such plans the present
structure would be cleared off the property; that construc-
tion loans took a little time; that if it did not materialize
in this direction they would want to pursue the present re-
quests for permits which had already been made to the Build„
ing Department and put further money into rehabilitation
of the wiring which was the principal defect that he saw at
the moment which was raised by the City; that otherwise the
house was habitable right now.
Discussion followed that the property was C-I; that the
structure was nonconforming.
Councilman Morehead asked if it would take a variance to
bring the building up to Code; that it was in a nonconform-
ing status at the present time being a residence.
City Engineer French stated it could not be developed as a
residence; that it had to be developed to the C-I standard
and as a C-I use.

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council December 7, 1966
Page 12
In answer to questions by Councilwoman Gregory,
Planning Director Chivetta stated the staff would
be presenting approximately four 4) different
proposals to the Planning Commission on December 28,
1966; that he could not predict when the Specific
Street Plan would be presented to the City Council;
that in looking at the requirements for dedication a
separate ordinance could be drafted that would state
basically before any property assumed this R-3
reclassification that they shall dedicate in total
for the streets; that this would mean the total street
proposed before anyone got anything.
Mayor McCaron stated it appeared there could be
sufficient amount of the street dedicated so as to
make it at least adequate for the present; that this
part still should be resolved; that the street in that
area was in very poor condition and needed development.
Mr. Paul James stated he had had a number of meetings
at his home with the neighbors; that essentially every
one of the people had said they did not want just a
development or something rezoned; that they wanted it
rezoned well and the preplanning built into it before
something haphazard started; that the people he had
talked with were not interested in the amount of time
necessarily but wanted a good development.
Mayor McCaron stated it might be well to contact the
property owners to see if they were willing to go
ahead with the proper development and dedicate wherein
Mr. James stated he spoke for three owners this
evening who had told him they were willing to dedicate
thirty 30) feet off of the back of their land.
Mayor McCaron stated that Tracy was also inadequate
at the present time; that the Planning Director could
discuss what would be necessary to at least handle the
traffic that would be generated by that amount the
property if it were fully developed R-3.
Mr. David Chadbourne, 13520 Tracy Street, Baldwin Park, DAVID CHADBOURNE,
stated the people had been coming to meetings on this 13520 Tracy, B.Pk.
case for five 5) months; that the reason there was not
a larger turn out was because this matter had been put
off for about five 5) months, plus a few years; that
these same questions had come up before as to how wide
was the street, what type of street it was and so
forth; that he was under the impression that the land
could be acquired for the streets; that the matter was
in the same spot" it was five 5) months ago, it had
not moved an inch.
Mayor McCaron stated in his opinion this matter had
moved forward somewhat; that it appeared there was no
objections to the rezoning but to the proper development
of the area; that the people who wanted the zone change
should get together and dedicate the ground for the
street.
Mr. Chadbourne stated he thought the City should get
together with the people and ask if the City could
take the property and get the proper access to it at the
present time if one gentleman would not wish to dedicate
his portion of the land.
Mayor McCaron stated yes; that whoever benefited by
it would have to pay for it; that whenever something
was forced on an individual this privilege had to be
paid for.
