approximately 570 feet northwesterly from the center-
line of Baldwin Park Boulevard. Continued from December
7, 1966)
Planning Director Chivetta stated a subsequent hearing was
conducted by the Planning Commission on a Circulation
Plan for the area and would be before the City Council
on February 15, 1967. He stated it was the recommendation
of the staff that this matter be continued to February 15,
1967, for both cases to be heard at the same time.
Mayor McCaron stated he would like the Planning Commission
to consider some improvement district; also have a report
to consider the elimination of the parcels on Robinette;
that in their deliberation on the street pattern that they
take into consideration the fact that if there were too
many streets put in the area there would be a tendency
for the owners to try to split up the property; that if
it went to R-3 the owners should be encouraged to maintain
as large parcels as possible in order to make development
that will be selfsustaining and not deteriorate in the
future.

would be the subject of a public hearing before the City
Council on February 15, 1967.
Mayor McCaron stated whenever people dedicated property for
street improvement it was for the betterment of the area

Page 9
Planning Director Chivetta presented a resume stating the
Planning Commission had adopted Resolution No. PC 66-46
on December 28, 1966, recommending approval and that the
Council declare its intention to rezone the property by
a resolution of intent. He pointed out a land use map on
the wall.
TESTIMONY IN BEHALF OF THE REQUEST WAS CALLED FOR BY TESTIMONY IN BEHALF
MAYOR MCCARON.
Mr. A. W. Cole, Jr., 15027 Howellhurst Drive, Baldwin A. W. COLE, JR,,
Park, stated an orderly flow of traffic beneficial 15027 Howellhurst Dr.,
to the whole community was one of the criterias B.Pk.
they had established; that Mr. French was aware of
the problem they had there or that the City had with
Francisquito and that immediate area; that the three
3) houses he was immediately concerned with and two
2) others were substandard houses; that he had a bid
on one for demolition now; that one of the guidelines
he thought the City went by was to use the highest possible
use for the property; that definitely the highest possible
use was not residential; that if it were they would feel
they would have to improve the houses to make them
habitable; that they were substandard and they would be
demolished; that they would make dedication to the City
for the widening of the street whereby it would be of
uniform width through its entirety in that area; that
this did lend continuity to the immediate area as far
as the zoning was concerned; that there was C-2 and C-I
on the other side of the street; that he thought it
would be more beneficial as commercial zoning rather than
residential zoning and in the best interests of the
community.
In answer to a question by Mayor McCaron, Mr. Cole
stated he did not own all of the property involved
in this zone change; that he did not own the two
properties on the corner of Maine and Francisquito; that
he would assume with the development of that property
they would continue the development along a consistent
line; that they had nothing whatsoever to do with the
two properties initially submitted to the Planning
Commission.
Mayor McCaron asked if he had been in contact with the
owners of the other two parcels wherein Mr. Cole stated
he had been in contact with their agents; that he had
not met the gentlemen of Tic Toc Incorporated of
America.
Mayor McCaron asked if there were any agreements that
the property would be developed not as one ownership
but as one development.
Mr. Cole stated to develop the property not in conformity
was foolish and difficult; that money was hard to come
by and there was a real reluctance to make any develop-
ment that did not instill a feeling of confidence in the
investor; that he did not have concrete plans for the
development; that they quite recently acquired a third
of the parcels; that they had feelers out; that
definitely what they would do would be in accord with
the development proposed for the corner of Maine and
Francisquito; that it would of necessity have to be;
that the properties were of a uniform depth with the
exception of a piece on Baldwin Park Boulevard.

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Mayor McCaron asked if he was familiar with the
Planning Commission's recommendation.
Mr. Cole stated he believed there was a stipulation as
to the dedication of the right-of-way; that he did not
know of any others that he would be directly concerned with.
Mr. J. Matthewson, 2256 South Oaks, Ontario, stated he
owned the property adjoining 3216 Baldwin Park Boulevard
which consisted of three lots, 3224, 3226 and 3228 Baldwin
Park Boulevard; that this was rental property and his
tenants had complained repeatedly of the outlook from their
places upon the property at 3216; that he was in favor of
the change of zone; that whatever was done there would an
improvement.
As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak
either in behalf of or in opposition to Z-299, Mayor
McCaron declared the public hearing closed.
Mayor McCaron stated the Planning Commission recommended
that a resolution of intent be adopted and that a develop-
ment plan be presented prior to any zone change; that the
intent would guarantee the property owner that the zone
would be changed providing he had a proper development;
that the property would be developed under separate
ownership but so that the development on one parcel would
enhance the development on another; that he believed that
the Planning Commission was right in asking that the
zoning be held in abeyance until such time as proper
development could be had for the property; that it had
been testified to this'evening that concrete plans were not
available at the present time.
Mr. James Gibson asked if it would be in order to ask the
City Attorney a question at this time.
As there were no objections, Mayor McCaron reopened the
public hearing on Z-299.
Mr. James. Q. Gibson, 13268 Francisquito, Baldwin Park,
stated he realized after a public hearing was closed
all the comments and opinions from the audience were
supposed to be over with, however, very often things
come up among the members of the Council in discussing
the matter after the public hearing has been closed;
that in his opinion a zone change was recommended in
the first place by the Planning Commission because
this area was suitable for this particular zoning;
that when it came before the Council, in his opinion,
it should be judged by the area in question and
there should be no restrictions; that anything should
be allowed under C-2 development if the zone change
was approved; that if this was proper zoning for this
property it would seem to him to be up to Cole and
Colwick and the other owners involved to do as they
saw fit with the property. He asked if it was not
true that a property can be zoned or not zoned and
there can be no conditions placed upon the zoning."
City Attorney Flandrick stated, yes this was correct.
Mr. Gibson stated, in his opinion, it did not behoove
the Planning Commission or the City Council to decide
what Mr. Cole or any other owner was to do with a
certain piece of property. He would like to see it
developed; that he had seen time and time again

people coming up with plans, sketches and drawings of what
they were going to do and time and time again it did not
come true; that his opinion was that this was good C-2
property and should be zoned thusly; that this owner would
have to pay taxes on his commercial property and he did not
think there should be any conditions put on the rezoning.
Mr. Cole stated he and Mr. Gibson were in complete accord;
that he did not think it was within the power of the Plan-
ning Commission or the City Council to have him come to the
Planning Commission or the City Council for particular
approval of something that fit into C-I or C-2.
Mr. Howard C. Sutterfield, 3779 North Foster, Baldwin Park, HOWARD C. SUTTERFIELD,
stated he was in complete agreement with both Mr. Gibson 3779 N. Foster, B.Pk.
and Mr. Cole in the points they expressed, however, as a
member of the Planning Commission, he thought there was a
point that needed clarification; that it was not the intent
of the Planning Commission to pass judgment on what Mr. Cole
wanted to put on this property because that was spelled out
in the Code; that the C-2 ordinance provided for what he
could do there; that the City, the Planning Commission felt,
had been left high and dry in many zoning cases where they
had made definite zoning recommendations and the Council
had gone along with them and land prices had gone sky high
and no development; that the intent of the action and
recommendation of the Planning Commission to the Council
in this action was that they were saying to these applicants,
yes they agreed that this was ideal C-2 property and they
thought it would and should develop and they would like to
give the applicant the opportunity to develop it by saying
to the applicant they would give the applicant C-2 zoning
once the applicant came in with a request for development
and the development, of course, would have to be consistent
with C-2; that the Planning Commission did not want to tell
the applicant that it should be a barbershop or beer hall or
whatever it might be; that in essence the Planning Commission
was recommending that the City Council give the property
owners a one year period and if within that one year period
the property had not developed then this action would be
null and void and the property would retain its present
zoning; that the Council had recently requested the Planning
Commission to restudy the area across the street which was
C-2A; that it was the Planning Commission's opinion that this
was ideal C-2A; that the Planning Commission did not want
to continue putting themselves in the position they were
with the C-2A where land values had gone up to the point
that no one could get a development that could be financed
profitably.
Mr. Cole stated many times he had seen artist's renderings
that were out of this world" and he had yet to see one of
them being built; that he would hope within the year he could
come up with something, but he would be less than honest if
he said he had a concrete plan at this time.
Councilman Morehead stated he considered himself the father
of the resolution of intent; that he came up with this idea
last year and had talked to the Council about in in open
session and convinced them that they should consider this
resolution of intent instead of an ordinance changing the
zone tonight and thirty 30) days hence it would be C-2 or
M-I whatever it was; that the City had property that had
gone from R-I to C-2 to R-3 back to C-2

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park; City Council
Mr. Cole stated he had never been reluctant to safe-
guard properties by putting up block walls; that he did
not have any contemplation to build anything that would
not be in conformity with neighborhood type business.
Mayor McCaron stated if the resolution of intention was
adopted the applicant would get the zoning if a development
was presented to the Building Department; that this public
hearing was the only appearance the applicant would be
required to make before the Council; that the zoning would be
automatically granted after the development was presented
to the Building Department. He asked if Mr. Cole was
objecting to this.
Mr. Cole stated no; that he was in agreement with this.
Mr. Edwin Elko, 13057 Bess, Baldwin Park, stated the
applicant might be saving some tax money by leaving the
property zoned R-I until after March I, 1967;
that he could see nothing wrong with the guarantee for
rezoning and the applicant might save some tax money.
As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak
either in behalf of or in opposition to Z-299, Mayor
McCaron declared the public hearing closed.

Mayor McCaron stated if this was passed it would do the
same thing as adopting the resolution of intent; that
second reading would not be held until such time as
development was ordered; that the zoning would remain
the same until the second reading.
Councilman Morehead asked if this was the procedure the
Council had been following on the resolutions of intent.
City Attorney Flandrick stated the Council in some cases
had adopted a resolution setting a specific time and in
other cases the Council had simply withheld second reading;
that in this case if the ordinance was introduced the
necessary documents would be prepared for the dedication
and thereafter the applicant would proceed in such manner
as he saw fit for the development itself.
Councilman Morehead stated this zoning would not be
changed until the applicant met the requirements of the
Planning Commission with which he concurred.
City Attorney Flandrick stated this was correct; that
this could be accomplished in either way, by a resolution
of intention or withholding second reading; that it
was not rezoned until second reading had been accomplished;
that in essence they both accomplished the same thing;
that the Council had used the resolution of intention in
two cases; that in each of the cases there was a peculiar
circumstance, one requiring the location and dedication
of an alley; that Mr. Cole had indicated his agreement
to the concept of dedication and improvement on the street

areas; that if the Council gave first reading to the
ordinance this evening and dedication was made in the
next few days and thereafter Mr. Cole came in and filed
an application for a building permit, it would be processed
but the building permit would not be issued as such until
the Council gave second reading to the ordinance; that
the building permit would then be issued and bear on its
face not to be effective until effective date of Ordinance
No. 472".
Councilman Morehead stated this was where the ordinance
was not the same as the resolution as he saw it; that
the resolution would permit him to start breaking ground
tomorrow if he was in order with the recommendation.
City Attorney Flandrick stated no; that the resolution of
intention had been handled in that same manner; that the
building permit was made to be effective at the same time
as the ordinance; that otherwise the Building Code etc.
would have to be amended to accommodate that, which could
be done.
Councilman Morehead stated he concurred with the Planning
Commission but wanted the resolution of intent to be binding
and have the applicant put the cake on the table first"
instead of a sign on the property.
City Attorney Flandrick stated, in his opinion, in either
manner it would be accomplished in that fashion.

Mr. Robert H. Griffin, 11808 Crewe Street, Norwalk, stated ROBT. H. GRIFFIN,
he was the Executor of the Estate of Mary Englick who did 11808 Crewe St.,
own the property; that some two and one-half years ago Norwalk
the Probate Court ordered the property sold; that the
purchasers went into court and placed a bid in the court;
that he had contacted the court on several occasions
and on each occasion they told him that the property had
been sold to these individuals; that the attorney on the
matter stated he had no right on the property; that with
the understanding that the property was no longer his
responsibility the property did run down; that juveniles
did break into the property through the rear door; that
approximately one month ago he had been told the
people who had purchased the property were not going to
buy it; that he had obtained a new attorney and had gone
into Probate Court last Friday and had the other sale set
aside; that he had gone over last Saturday and boarded up
the structure and locked it; that the yards were dirty;
that he was hoping the matter could be continued until
the property was sold and cleaned up.
City Engineer French stated he saw no problem in cooperating
with this gentleman; that the City's problem was that they
wanted the property cleaned up; that they had had a
juvenile problem there; that the garage had still not been
secured; that they did have a fire hazard; that the staff
would certainly want this man to clean up the property;
that he would recommend adoption of the resolution ordering
the abatement giving sixty 60) days to abate.
Mr. Griffin asked if a purchaser came forward during
the sixty 60) day period would this affect the purchase
of the property.
City Engineer French stated no; that he would recommend
that the property owner have sixty 60) days to clean
up the property and secure the buildings.

COUNCILWOMAN GREGORY SECONDED.
Mr. Johnny Franich, 4151 N. Bresee, Baldwin Park, stated
he lived next to 4145 N. Bresee; that yesterday they
had cleaned the property up after about eight 8)
months; that there was still furniture on the front lawn;
that there gas a patio in the back yard that was a fire
hazard; that the patio roof was ready to fall down; that
it had never en painted; that it was also wired and
dangerous; tha there was an enormous tree that he would
like to see removed or trimmed; that there was one big
branch that was ready to fall on his yard or wall; that
the yard was full of gophers; that the big leaves from
the tree fell in his yard and his pool was getting stained;
that he would like to see these things taken care of
before the case was closed.
In answer to a question by Mayor McCaron, City Engineer
French stated when action was initiated the property was
in deplorable condition; that the fire hazard indicated
by the Fire Department had been removed; that there was
a patio in the back that had to be brought up to the
Building Code; that the property had been cleaned up;
that the weeds had been removed and the house cleaned

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
It was the time and place fixed for a public hearing on
N-67 to determine whether certain premises, and buildings
and structures constitute a public nuisance at 3702 Holly.
Proper postings and mailings had been accomplished.
City Engineer French presented a staff report with
Exhibit A attached and stated it was the staff
recommendation that the property be cleared and
the structures be demolished. He stated the report
from the Building Department indicated it was not
practical to bring the property up to Code, however
the recent owner of the property had contacted him
and stated he wished to bring the property up to
Code and would agree to do this within sixty 60)
days or demolish it or the City could demolish it.
TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION TO THE ABATEMENT WAS CALLED FOR
BY MAYOR MCCARON.
Mr. Jerry Freid, 132 South Hayworth, Los Angeles,
stated he represented Mr. Louis Koolhaas who was the
first mortgage holder on this property; that they
had been waiting to acquire legal title to this property;
that it was an estate and theheirs were not interested in
this particular property; that they had been proceeding
with a Trustee Sale except that there had been various
complications and they had not as yet taken title and
had not been able to do any work on the property; that
Mr. Koolhaas was in the building business and he had with
him a partner of Mr. Koolhaas, Mr. Noland S. Lewis, who
was a building contractor; that when Mr. Koolhaas
originally purchased the mortgage he did so with inten-
tions of eventually acquiring the property and re-
habilitating the property and bringing it up to the
City's standards; that one of the original owners died
some four or five years ago out of state and various
papers had to be gathered; that he requested ninety 90)
days rather than sixty 60) days; that'he would be
willing to quickly, within one week, clean away any
debris and secure the building.
City Engineer French asked if ninety 90) days were
granted would it be agreeable, if the property was
not brought up to code or demolished within ninety
90) days, for the City to then demolish the structure.
Mr. Freid stated yes.
Mayor McCaron stated Mr. Freid assumed he would be able
to acquire title within that time; that if he was not the
owner in ninety 90) days it would not be up to him to
say whether he agreed to it or not.
City Attorney Flandrick indicated this was correct but as
the first trust deed holder under foreclosure proceedings
he was in a position to clean it up in the manner he had
indicated and if within ninety 90) days the building was
not brought up to Code the City would then undertake to
demolish.
City Attorney Flandrick asked Mr. Freid if this was
acceptable to him and Mr. Freid answered yes".

pretty sure the trust deed holder, under the provisions of
the deed of trust, could step in any time even before
foreclosure and fix it up and charge it up to the account
and add it to his balance.
City Attorney Flandrick stated the provisions of the trust
deed were immaterial; that the question was was the man
going to clean it up within a week, if he did not the City
would do it; that if he did not demolish or bring up to Code
within ninety 90) days the City would demolish it.

Resolution No. 67-13 declaring its intention to proceed with MONTEREY AVENUE
the district; that the present staffing of the Engineering
Department would not allow this work to be integrated
within the Department without disrupting other programs,
therefore, it was recommended that an engineering firm be
engaged to perform the district services. He presented
a list of local engineering firms with a partial listing
of past work performed for the City stating that all of
the firms were excellently qualified to perform the services
and had provided excellent services to the City in the past.
He stated that the same identical agreement would be entered
into as on the Jerry Avenue Improvement District.
Councilman Morehead stated that the City Engineer had listed
five well qualified established reputable firms and asked
why he did not make a recommendation.
Mayor McCaron stated that perhaps the award should be
made on quantity of work and asked which one was lacking
in quantity.
Councilwoman Gregory asked if Kenneth I. Mullen had
completed as much work as the others.
City Engineer French stated that Mullen and Lockman had
both only performed one job for the City of Baldwin Park;
that Mr. Mullen had worked quite awhile with another firm
and had had his present firm for about one and one-half
years; that he was a very excellent engineer; that
Lockman was in the same category; that his firm was
approximately two years old and he was a very excellent
engineer; that he had prepared the Lighting District.

Councilwoman Gregory asked if cars impounded on Joanbridge RE LOTS USED FOR
were from Baldwin Park or West Covina. IMPOUNDING OF CARS
ON JOANBRIDGE
Chief of Police Adams stated that was part of Blackards
storage; that they serviced most of the cities in the near
vicinity.
Councilwoman Gregory commented that there was a sign which
stated police impounding"; that there was a fire hazard;
that cars were being parked on unpaved areas; and on the
outside of the lot as well as on the inside; that this was
a manufacturing area and it was not fair to the better
looking commercial or industrial buildings on that street
to allow this unsightliness and this condition to exist
in Baldwin Park.
Planning Director Chivetta stated the lots were occupied
with disabled vehicles which were reported by the California
Highway Patrol and local police departments; that they were
towed there for storage fy dismantlers located in Irwindale;
that this was not a police impound yard; that the sign was
put there to cut down vandalism on the property; that
storage of disabled vehicles of this type was permitted in
an M-I zone if enclosed behind an eight 8) foot high solid
view obscuring wall or fence; that no dismantling was per-
mitted; that the person leasing the lots for this type of
use had been notified and had stated he would be removing
the vehicles very shortly; that the City had been working
with him and giving him additional time; that it appeared
one of the lots on the southerly side of Joanbridge was
being cleared off; that the person had stated he was
going to paint out the sign.
Mayor McCaron asked if this would come under nuisance
abatement.
City Attorney Flandrick stated yes under abatement of
nonconforming uses and nuisance abatement.
Mayor McCaron instructed that this matter be brought up COUNCIL INSTRUCTION
for public hearing under the nuisance abatement sb that MATTER TO BE BROUGHT

Mayor McCaron stated this would affect a number of people
and should possibly be the subject of a public hearing
before the Planning Commission.
Councilwoman Gregory stated with the businesses that would
locate on Los Angeles Street it would be helpful for the street
name change to take place now rather than after businesses
were established.
Councilman Morehead commented if Los Angeles Street remained
the same name and Lower Azusa remained the same name that the
sign might say Los Angeles Street east" and Lower Azusa Road
west".
Planning Director Chivetta stated he had been contacted by a
representative of the State asking if there was any
committee or anyone making a study of the possibility of
removing the conflicting street names; that he had told
this representative that he knew of only one such committee,
the East San Gabriel Valley Planning Committee, and at this
time they had made no proposals for any street name change
from Los Angeles Street to Lower Azusa Road or any other
name; that the representative explained that the State was
preparing signs for Interstate 605, which was the San Gabriel
Freeway, and because the freeway would be located entirely
in the City of Irwindale the off ramp signs would read Lower
Azusa Road, not Los Angeles Street, because this would be
confusing to the motorist; that as of this date the State
would proceed along those lines.
City Engineer French stated that for clarification there were
signing plans submitted and he had talked with the State
Division of Highways; that there could only be two names
at the off ramp, either Lower Azusa Road-Baldwin Park, or
Lower Azusa Road-Los Angeles Street; that the City could
change the street name of Los Angeles Street to Lower
Azusa Road; that there was going to be an interchange
at Ramona Boulevard.
Mayor McCaron commented that Lower Azusa Road was a longer
street than Los Angeles Street so if there was to be any
name change it would appear that it should go to Lower
Azusa Road.
Councilwoman Gregory commented that Lower Azusa Road
went as far as Rosemead Boulevard; that it touched
three cities and Los Angeles County.

property C-2 the property could be put up for sale at
such an exhorbitant price that it could never be developed;
that the resolution of intent would indicate to Mr. Cole
that it was the Council's intention to approve C-2 if he
developes and he would have twelve 12) months to develop;
that the applicant could request an extension for another
twelve 12) months; that it was well and true there were
no conditions allowed by State Law on a rezoning but this
was not a rezoning, this was the Council's word that they
would rezone if the applicant wanted to build.
City Attorney Flandrick indicated there was no problem
with the resolution of intention procedure.
Mayor McCaron stated one person had testified his tenants
would like to see an improvement in the area; that if this
property was to be rezoned C-2 and he was to consider it
a blank improvement he would think it was too severe zoning
for the area; that it might not be as far as facing Francis-
quito was concerned but it was as far as the neighboring
properties were concerned; that they were R-I and this
was putting C-2 directly next to an R-I property; that
this was too severe without some assurance that there
was to be a development that would be conducive to the
enhancement of the area as it was at the present time;
that there were things allowed in C-2 that would be
impossible to allow next to an R-I zone.
Mr. Cole stated he did not think the Council had seen
him before them with a drawing of any sort; that he
did not believe a new area was being opened up; that
there was C-2 on the other four corners; that he was in
complete accord with what Mr. Morehead said; that he had
no argument with the intent; that he believed this was
good for the City and for him and for everyone who lived
in the City; that it might work a hardship on someone who
lived outside of the City that was coming in and proposing
something that they never intended to do strictly for land
speculation; that this would give him an indication of
what the Council and the City's thinking was as far as what
they wanted to do with that property; that he did not feel
new vistas were being opened up as far as C-2 was con-
cerned; that he felt the zoning in C-2 was quite restrictive.
Mayor McCaron asked if he was familiar with everything
that was allowed in C-2.
Mr. Cole stated he did not think anybody in the room was.
Mayor McCaron asked the Planning Director what was the
least restrictive use in C-2 zone that he could think
of, wherein Planning Director Chivetta stated perhaps
this would be a church.
Mayor McCaron stated that it would appear C-I would be
adequate for the uses asked for.
Mr. Cole stated he asked for C-2; that he thought it was
initially requested by Tic Toc Markets for C-I.
Further discussion followed between Mayor McCaron and Mr.
Cole.
