property to be a public nuisance in the aspects indicated.
Mr. White stated that it was his understanding that if the
conditions present were satisfied the public nuisance would
be deemed abated; that this would be a general clean up,
securing the property and a general repair all within a
period of ninety 90) days.

City Attorney Flandrick stated that the Planning Director
had advised him that the property had not been a legal
nonconforming use; that it had been an illegal noncon-
forming use; that any occupancy would require conformance
to the zoning regulations or a zone variance.
Mr. White stated that he understood.
As there was no one else in the audience desiring to

City Clerk Backus Inquired of the City Council which
method of balloting they would prefer to have used in
the 1968 General Election, paper ballots or the Votomatic;
that the cost mould vary because of the number of precincts;
that the County had reprecincted; that originally the City
had 61 precincts; that in the past it had been consolidated
to 23; that the County had consolidated to 30, which would
make it Impossible to consolidate any further; that in 1964
the cost for paper ballots was $3,977.00; that this year
the cost for paper ballots would be $5,290.00 for 30
precincts; that for the votomatic it would be $6,255.00
for 30 precincts; that she felt the votomatic would be
great for the larger elections, but that the precinct
costs must be paid regardless and'that It erould not take
too long for the returns to come in.
Mayor Morehead stated that to had two objections to the
votomatic: 1. the excessive cost; and 2, that the only
time gained would be in getting the returns to the Clerk's
office; that votomatic ballots would have to be delivered
to a computer and It would probably be sometime the next
day before the results were obtainable; that for these
reasons he would be opposed to the votomatic for the April
election.
City Clerk Backus stated she had spoken with an election
supplier that supplied 55 cities; that out of this number
32 had elected to remain with paper ballots; that 14
cities had decided on the votomatic; that 19 cities had
not commented one way or the other.
Councilman McCaron inquired if anyone else had had any
experience with this machine as yet.
City Clerk Balkus stated that the machine had been used
in Pomona and Alhambra; that the results had been quite
successful; that they had had an IBM Computer available.
Councilman McCaron Inquired why the computer was not
provided with the votomatic; that he wondered why it
was not a complete package.
City Clerk Balkus stated that the County proposed to
have local computing centers set up; that as of this
date she did not know where; that for the June primary
election the computing center would be on Wilshire
Boulevard; that all counting would be done there.
Councilman McCaron stated that until such time as the
complete process could be provided he did not feel the
City should pursue this; that he felt the City should
continue with Its present method,

dould be remodeled without benefit of a conditional use

which was one of the best ordinances throughout Los
Angeles County for control of service stations.

Councilman Crites stated that the school district would
be having an election on February 13, 1968; that he had
not heard any comments concerning the school district
using the votomatic; that he felt for the City to use
the votommetic such a short time after the school election
might be confusing; that he felt the City should stay
with the conventional type ballot.
Councilwoman Gregory stated she would rather the City
stayed with the paper ballot; that she had been working
with the votomatic with the 04ople out In the area; that
she felt there was a good deal of educational work to
be dope; that she hoped to see it used in the future.
City Clerk Balkus thanked the Council for their ccmAlents.

Mayor Morehead commented that Conditional Use Permit Case
No. CP-97 had come before the Board of Zoning Adjustments
three separate times; that if it were appealed this time
It would have been before the Council three separate times
also.
Planning Director Chivetta stated that the second time the
applicant had withdrawn his application after two continuances;
that the third time the applicant had substantiated his case
to the Board; that the applicant had shown that the property
could be made compatible with the surrounding area; that it
would not create any more of a traffic hazard than the existing
businesses; that these were the reasons the request was approved
by the Board this time.
Mayor Morehead stated that some of the objections In the past
to a service station had been the reflection of light, the
noise from cars driving over the bell cord and the hours
of operation.
Plenan.ing Director Chivetta stated that the lighting would
be shielded to reflect away from the adjacent properties;
that the hours of operation were not covered; that one
other objection to this station was the ingress and egress
would be off of Ituni; that this would create a straight
path through the residential area located In West Covina;
that there would be a wall Installed and this would deter
vehicular access; that there would be only one means of
access to the property and this would be from Dalewood;
that this has stopped most of the objections.
Councilman McCaron asked if any standards had been set
for deflecting lights away from residential property in
the area.
Planning Director Chivetta stated that there were no
standards excepting that the lighting plan would be
reviewed when it was submitted; that they would try to
soften the light from the freestanding sign.
Councilman McCaron asked if anything occurred to
make this usage a nuisance since it was a conditional
Use permit could this be brought back before the Council.
City Attorney Flandrick stated, yes, that under certain
circumstances there was a provision for revocation and
for modification.
Planning Director Chivetta stated that the service station
adjacent to the proposed site, which was a Richfield Station;
