Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
that Mr. Seymour's share as such was spelled out in the
agreement; that he had researched this situation and from
what the Council appeared to Intend at the time the City
acquired the property in 1959 this seemed to be in accord
with their intentions in that the City would have a fully
developed sixty 60) foot property line street with the
forty 40) foot curb to curb development; that based upon
this he recommended that the City quitclaim the excess
street right-of-way adjacent to Mr. Seymour's property to
Mr. Seymour with the condition that it be held as a unit
with his property and that he be granted access rights to
Joanbridge subject to Mr. Seymour paying the City of
Baldwin Park $3,300.00; that this would reimburse the
City $2,500.,00 for the actual land cost and Sterns $4,100.00
for the street construction; that this made a total of $6,600.00;
that $3,300.00 would be charged to the property to the north
and $3,300,00 to the property to the south,
COUNCILMAN MCCARON MOVED THAT THE TRANSFER BE MADE FOR THE

this point; that there was one subject that Chief Admin-
istrative Officer Nordby had not thoroughly completed
his survey of and that was the overnight parking; that
If Council was in concurrence with him the Chief Admin-
istrative Officer and he would draft a letter to Mr.
Carpenter.
Councilwoman Gregory stated that perhaps the Traffic Com-
mittee could consider the overnight parking; that Mr.
Carpenter had pointed out some good examples that were
being used in other cities; that perhaps they could be
incorporated; that this was a problem in Baldwin Park
and would take some time to study.

Nordby and he would draft a letter to Mr. Carpenter regarding
Item No. 1, Bus Service and Item No. 3, Misuse of Authority;

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
8:00 p.m. having arrived it was the time and place fixed
for a public hearing on AZC 31, continued from November 1,
1967. Proposed amendment to the Baldwin Park Municipal
Code consisting of Section 9630 et seq. of said-Code
relative to zoning regulation applicable to the M-.1 light
manufacturing) Zone.
Proper publications and posting had been accomplished.
Planning Director Chivetta stated that the staff felt
there were some Inequities In the proposed regulations;
that they were recommending that certain sections be
reworded and amended as follows: Section 9630, Subsection
29 g) to be added Electric service yards and/or electric
distribution and transmission substations". and h) to be
added Telephone Exchanges.". That Section 9631, subsection
4 be deleted In Its entirety; and that the word exchange"
be deleted from subsection 9. That Section 9634, subsection
8, be amended to change the height of a wall, fence or hedge
along the street property lines from 30 inches to 36 Inches.
That the latter part of subparagraph 8 wording except that
for truck, trailer, heavy equipment parking facilities and
off-street loading areas there shall be provided a six 6)
foot in height masonry wall enclosing the entire area uti-
lized for such purposes" be deleted. Section 9634, subsection
7 to Include the option of fence or wall on outside storage
areas.". He further stated that the staff's opinion was that
the proposed amendments would achieve the goal of the commu-
nity by upgrading all M-( land and the uses permitted therein
by providing adequate regulations, which would be equitable to
all property owners within the M-1 Zone; Continued)

that he recommended that the Council concur with the
Planning Commission's original Resolution No. PC67-33
and adopt Ordinance No. 504 with the aforementioned
amendments.
TESTIMONY WAS GIVEN by: TESTIMONY
Mr. Bob Pielemeier, 14626 Joanbridge, Baldwin Park stated BOB PIELEMEIER, 14626
that he was representing M-1 property owners; that they Joanbridge, B.Pk.
were trying to decide whether this would affect the old
owners or mostly the new ones that would be coming in;
that they felt the walls in front should be either six
6) feet or a smaller wall with the shrubbery in front;
that possibly a wood screening could be installed rather
than concrete walls; that two property owners had had
this same problem and had had to take the wall down and
move It; that he felt as a whole that the Ordinance was
wonderful; that the only thing that they were concerned
with was the block wall and the storage area,
Planning Director Chivetta stated that concerning Section
9634, subsection 7, that the staff recommended that no
outside storage areas shall be permitted unless completely
enclosed with a solid view obscuring masonry wall or fence,
the minimum height of which shall be not less than six
6) feet.".
As there were no objections, Mayor Morehead stated that the
Council concurred with the staff recommendation regarding
Section 9634, subsection 7.
Planning Director Chivetta stated that concerning Section
9634, subsection 8, that the staff recommended that it be
reworded to read: front yard and side yard areas abutting
a street utilized for open vehicle parking areas shall be
effectively screened by a wall or fence, not less than
thirty 30) Inches in height nor more than six 6) feet
in height,.said screening shall be set back five 5) feet
from any property line abutting the street and adequate
landscaping shall be installed within that five 5) foot
area provided further that the Director is empowered to
modify the height and placement of the wall, fence or
landscaping If the strict enforcement of the same would
create an undue hardship upon the property owner, but In
no event is the Director empowered to delete this part
in its entirety. All landscaping areas shall be provid-
ed and permanently maintained with suitable nursery stock
and adequate irrigiation systems as approved by the Direc-
tor.".
City Attorney Flandrick suggested that the reference to
permit the Director to vary any of these provisions be
deleted; that this was a function of the zone variance.
Planning Director Chivetta stated that they were trying
to overcome having an applicant apply for a zone variance
each and every time; that they would like to give him
the option if he wished to go up six feet on the property
line Instead of putting in a three foot wall that the
applicant would make proper provision by coming in and
having it handled administratively to put In landscaping
to soften it so that it would not look like a prison;
that they felt that the staff could handle it adequately
without the procedure of a zone variance; that this
would add the least amount of hardship to the applicant.

City Attorney Flandrtck stated that this was prohibited
by State law; that the objection that must be raised to
the proposal was that regulations must be uniform In all
zones and must apply equally to all property zoned In
that manner; that the proposed regulation would apply In
some cases and not in others and thus this particular
regulation could not be Imposed; that if Planning Direc-
tor Chivetta preferred to have it set out in a series of
alternatives with specific alternatives without any vari-
ance in effect being involved that would be in order;
that he knew of no other way to handle this.
Planning Director Chivetta suggested that perhaps it could
read that said screening shall be set back five 5) feet
from any property line abutting a street or located on the
property line at the option of the property owner provided
that said screening shall be approved as to design and land-
scaping provided so as to soften the wall"; that this at
least would negate the State law.
City Attorney Flandrick stated that this would be accept-
able; that this would standardize the regulations.
Councilman McCaron Inquired If the size of the signs that
were allowed would be 600 sqare foot per sign face area,
wherein Planning Director Chivetta stated that the uses
permitted in an M--1 zone were different than those permit-
ted in a commercial area; that they were usually far re-
moved from a freeway; that it was based on the front front-
age of the property and limited to wall signs and freestanding
signs; that the California Electric Sign Association people
had been In and reviewed that section of the code and had
stated that they were in full accord.
Councilman McCaron stated that if 600 square feet of sign
face area were allowed how could it be controlled so that
the sign would not be placed adjacent to the street front-
age, wherein Planning Director Chivetta stated that it was
controlled as to the placement of the sign In the code
itself, each particular sign, roof sign, wall sign, free-
standing sign had a placement area for the sign.
As there were no objections, Mayor Morehead stated the
public hearing on AZC-31 would be continued to the next
regular City Council meeting of February 7, 1968; that
at that time the ordinance would be returned to Council
with all the proposed amendments included and that It
would be submitted for adoption to the Council.

Planning Director Chivetta stated that the history of
this property dated back to 1966 when the previous
owner A: K. Child applied for a Conditional Use Permit,
Case No. CP-72; that this matter was denied by the Board
of Zoning Adjustments; that it was appealed to the City
Council; that the City Council had sustained the Board's
action; that shortly thereafter Mr. A. K. Youngman applied
for a Conditional Use Permit for a service station use;
that this application had been withdrawn because of the
problems involved and because it had been speculation on
the part of Mlr. Youngman at that time; that on October
18, 1967, Mr. Youngman had again submitted an application
for a service station use; that the application was approv-
ed by the Board of Zoning Adjustments, Resolution No. BZA67-
30; that at the hearing the property owner substantiated his
case in accordance with the three questions to be answered
on a Conditional Use Permit; that it had now been appealed
to the City Council by an adjacent property owner in West
Covina. He pointed out the property on a map on the wall
stating that the major tenant of the property would be
Standard Oil; that it would be a two bay service station;
that the-pump islands would be located adjacent to Dalewood;
that all improvements would be installed therein; that there
would be a six 6) foot high wall constructed around the
property along the itunl frontage set back ten 10) feet
from the side street property line with adequate landscap-
ing planted to soften the wall and to restrict ingress
and egress to the station from Dalewood only; that the
station would be located on a 20,000 square foot parcel
of land, which-was some 10,000 square foot in excess of
the minimum required by the Municipal Code; that the appli-
cant had signed an affidavit stating that he was in agree-
ment with the Board's recommendations and would comply with
the City's requirements.

Mr. Sam Cianchetti, Attorney At Law, 1500 Service Avenue, SAM CIANCHETTI, ATTY.
West Covina, stated that he would like to review the AT LAW, 1500 Service
situation both the last hearing before the Board of Ave., W. Cov.
Zoning Adjustments and the action taken by the Board;
that there were two significant facts that the Council
should be aware of in determining whether the decision of
the Board of Zoning Adjustments should be upheld. 1. That
the situation that exists at the present time is substan-
tially different from that which existed at the time that
the original application was denied by the Board and sus-
tained by the City Council; that the difference was that
the applicant was not a property owner, but merely a
person who had an option on the property in escrow; that
It was purely a speculative type situation; that there
was no specific lease that had been negotiated; nor did
the applicant propose any specific plan of development;
that In this instance S D C, Inc., were the actual owners
of the property; that they would be the leasor to Standard
011; that there was a particular plan of development; that
this station would be the type that was now located at
Baldwin Park Boulevard and Francisquito; that during the
eighteen months that the property owners had owned this
property they had made extensive efforts to develop the
property; that the only specific inquiries that were made
and the only persons Indicating that they would like to
sign a lease for some type of development other than
Standard Oil was a real estate broker wanting to put In
a beer bar and Panchito's Restaurant wanting to franchise
a taco stand; Continued)

that both in terms of the type of use which was being
proposed and the particular location this use would be
far superior to the other two approaches that were made;
that the conditions that had been Imposed by the Board
of Zoning Adjustments, which the applicant had agreed
to live with, Insure some protection to the West Covina
residents; that there were no Baldwin Park residents
that were involved; that no Baldwin Park citizen had
ever objected to this particular development; that the
only Baldwin Park people involved had coemercial estab
lishments; that the other gas stations which were in the
area had not come forward to object to the proposal;
that Howard Johnson's which was located approximately
half a block away had made no objection; that the conva-
lescent home which was to the rear of the property had
in no way Indicated any disapproval of the development;
that the proposal was to entirely block off any entrance
or exit on ltuni Street by installing a wall; that orig-
inally Standard Oil had wanted ingress and egress with
the thought of servicing those residential areas to the
west and south but based upon their objections it had
been agreed that a slumpstone wall recessed ten feet with
decorative landscaping on the outside would be installed;
that the actual station development would set way'back
from the frontage; that the sign would comply; that there
had been no request for a variance in this Instance; that
the station would comply in every regard with the Municipal
Code requirements; that the sign which would be a 45 foot
high.sign would be to the extreme easterly side of the
property with the view in mind that It would be least
offensive to the residents that were located on the other
side.

Fire Department.
Planning Director Chivetta stated that the records of the
Police Department on Ituni and Halinor from 1966 to the
present date, indicated there had been five 5) occurrences;
that most of these had been caused by excessive speed, cross-
Ing the double line; that the driver was Intoxicated when

there and it would have a park atmosphere; that the

that the representative had indicated that the accidents
did not occur In the area where the station would be
constructed; that they had occurred In the northerly area
on the neck at Delewood; that he had indicated that the only
way to cure this traffic problem would be to straighten out
Dalewood Street; that plans for that were purely a matter
of speculation; that service stations did not attract auto-
mobiles; that they utilized the existing automobiles; that
If there was a traffic problem it would be there whether a
service station went in or not; that the property was bare
land and in a-comwercial zone; that the applicant had met
all of the requirements for commercial development; that
some of the people opposing this development had been
asked as to what type of development they would like;
that they had obtained no specific answer; that there
had been a vague generality of perhaps an office build-
ing of some kind; that he did not feel this was a sound
proposal for a freeway off ramp location.
Mr. Alan Claxton stated that the huge signs that were
installed by the service station companies were installed
for the purpose of enticing traffic off of the freeway
to buy their gasoline; that he did not buy the statement
that they would be using existing traffic.
M-. George Whittpenn stated that regarding where they
Intended to install a bench for the school children to sit
there and wait for the bus that there was not room for a
school but to stop at that corner; that It had to stop on

Mrs. James Lorenzo stated that for 17 years she allowed MRS. JAMES LORENZO
the school children to gather in front of her home for the

there were approximately 7 or 8 school bus pick ups.
JAMES LORENZO
Mr-s. Dorval stated that directly across from the area MRS. DARVAL
tractors were tested which came out onto the service
road, go in a circle and back into the lot.
Councilman McCaron stated that he did not know if there
was any other outlet for Halinor other than Dalewood.
He asked if the road was developed full width, wherein
City Engineer French stated yes, with the exception of
curb area; that the curbs were designed by the State for
15 mites an hour; that all of the accidents were attributed
to speed or drinking; that the street was adequate to carry
the count; that the alignment of this street would require
the rear yards of some of these people and would be under
the jurisdiction of West Covina.
Councilman McCaron stated that the sign that was discussed
did give considerable light; that the applicant had stated
that they would put their sign on the far eastern corner
of the property; that this was approximately 175 feet from
the corner; that this would be less objectionable than the
existing sign.. He asked what the results of the street
design would be If the thumb area were left there.
City Engineer French stated that the staff had not proposed
any modification of the thumb area; that it was a C inter-
section to this curved area as close to a 90 degree inter-
section as they could possibly get within the curved area
at the time that It was laid out; that they did not propose
this kind of development as It did not allow a 90 degree
Intersection to this curve; that it would encourage cars

to go straight on Halinor.
As there was no one else In the audience desiring to PUBLIC HEARING
speak either in behalf of or in opposition to CP-97, DECLARED CLOSED
Mayor Morehead declared the public hearing closed. CP-97
Mayor Morehead stated that up to this point he would
not make his decision on this matter solely on the
basis of the traffic; that most of the accidents had
occurred as the result of crossing a double line;
that an accident was likely to occur anytime a driver
crossed a double line anywhere.
Councilman McCaron stated that the main objection at
the previous hearings and also this evening had been
to the lighting; that according to the new standards
for service station construction in Baldwin Park this
would be taken care of; that lighting would not reflect
on adjacent properties; that the requirement would be
that the sign be of a diffused type of lighting; that
the sign would be adjacent to the service station that
exists, which was considerable distance from the homes-
in West Covina; that the curb, gutter and street devel-
opment that would be in front of this property would
help as far as traffic was concerned; that he did not
know how much traffic came off of Halinor; that there
was no way that they could control how much traffic
would be on the frontage road; that he did not feel
that this development would add to the problem as
far as traffic was concerned.
Councilman Crites stated that this appeared to be
more of a legal problem of whether it fits in with
the zoning or whether it fits in with the neighbors
convenience; that he was wondering how much truck
traffic In this area influences any of the other
traffic; that possibly this point should be inves-
tigated regardless of this particular case; that he
could see no special reasons why this application
should be denied.
Councilman Gregory stated that she was concerned
with the traffic and safety and welfare of the people
in this area; that Council could not stand still and not
let this property be used to some advantage of the prop-
erty owner; that she felt whatever traffic hazards might
appear in the future could be taken care of in the usual
manner; that she would like a traffic count on this
particular street with respect to the number of vehicles
passing on this road.
Mayor Morehead stated that he could see very little
change in arguments from either side over the present
application from the last two that Council had reviewed
other than the condition that the present applicants
would eliminate ingress and egress to Ituni by construc..
ting the block wall.
Councilman McCaron Inquired if the streets were developed
in the West Covina area with curb, gutter and sidewalk.
City Engineer French stated that he thought they had
curb and gutter but not sidewalk.
Councilman McCaron stated that it appeared the area
needed to be studied concerning foot traffic; that if
a study were made and possibly a consultation with the
City of West Covina that some relief could be obtained
for the area. Continued)

played there; that they did not wish to be forced
into any other type of program other than selling;
that the signs that were there now were something
that had been used, but the present owners had not
had the use of them; that their sales program had
been relatively short; that they had not asked for
this situation; that they were not the developer
for the project; that there were possibly 30 vacant
apartments; that they needed all of the signs that
they had at present; that as a Savings and Loan they
could only spend so much on a certain project; that
the sign did not just draw in the people who saw the
sign; that it served as a sign post to those who had
read their ad; that they were spending a lot of money
on newspaper advertising; that the freeway sign was
necessary; that they could not draw enough adequate
prospects from the surface street signs.
TESTIMONY IN BEHALF OF THE REQUEST WAS GIVEN by: TESTIMONY IN BEHALF
Mr, E, W, Lyon, 607 Chaparro Road, Covina, stated E.W. LYON, 607 Chaparro
that he handled the merchandising for the Palm Villa Rd., Covina
Condominium and for 6 or 8 other condominiums and
merchandising was extremely critical at this time;
that this was the only condominium In Baldwin Park;
that the public did not understand exactly what a
condominium was; that the Palm Villa Condominium
had basically the appearance of being an inhabited
building; that the nub of the problem was really the
freeway sign; that admittedly It exceeded by far the
square footage that was permitted In an R-I Zone; that
at the same time It was exposed to traffic that was
going two or three times the speed of local street
traffic within the City of Baldwin Park; that from
both economics and a human relations problem the
condominium did not tend itself to ownership and
rentals; that all of the emphasis must go toward
sales; that the market was limited and the adver-
tising and merchandising effort must be broadened
out; that people did not know exactly where the con-
dominium was located; that they could get along well
with the smaller sign located on Vineland Avenue; that
there was a good deal of difference In the speed on
Vineland Avenue and that of the San Bernardino freeway;
that he would appreciate the City Council's favorable
consideration of the freeway sign.

TESTIMONY IN BEHALF
Mrs. Ruth Bell, 3000 North Vineland Avenue, Baldwin LAIRS. RUTH BELL,'3000
Park, representing the Palm Villa Home Owners Asso- N. Vineland Ave., B.Pk.,
ciation Council stated that they were in favor of the
sighs as long as there was a restriction against rent-
ing; that they agreed with Prudential Savings and Loan
that the property had to be sold; that in order to sell
It there had to be advertising.
Councilman McCaron stated that there was quite a history
concerning the selling of Palm Villa; that the sign had
been up for approximately five 5) years; that the City
had had problems removing signs adjacent to the freeway;
that he felt that the Council should do everything pos-
sible to make it palatable for, Prudential Savings and
Loan to continue to invest in Baldwin Park properties;
that he would. like more Information as to what type of-
plan they had for selling these apartments; that possi-
bly this hearing should be continued to the next meeting.
Councilman Crites stated that for as long as he had been
on the Council they had been granting six 6) month and
twelve i12) month extensions for these signs; that the
last time this matter had come before the Council they
had granted twelve or fifteen months as a final extension;
that this occurred before Prudential Sa$ings.and'Loar. Asso-
ciation had purchased the property; that he wondered if
this were extended again If the Palm Villa stickers would
be stuck all over the City every weekend; that he could
recall seeing 125 poster type signs a week stuck all over
the place, which was in direct violation of the ordinances.
Councilwoman Gregory stated that the gentlemen had express-
ed themselves quite well; that they knew their own problem,
the fact that It was a condominium; that unfortunately this
so called condominium turned out to be an apartment house;
that if they were still continuing to sell as condominiums
they would fall short of the expectation of the Guying pub-
lic; that she felt it was a forever problem"; that she knew
that signs would attract and that in time they would sell;
that at the moment buying power was at a low ebb; that it
could go on another two or three years; that this Council
had been very lenient with-the people involved; that the
freeway sign was very Impressive; that this did hurt the
City as far as landscaping was concerned; that she con-
curred with the recoomendation of the Board of Zoning
Adjustments and the staff; that in spite of the necessity
she felt that the Council should be very careful of what
they were doing; that certainly the Council would have to
meet them half way for the continuance of sales; that put-
ting a sign in every available spot on the property would
not do it; that one impressive sign on the property should
be of some help; that perhaps Planning Director Chivetta
would have some ideas as to an attractive sign.
Planning Director Chivetta stated that the existing 240
square foot freeway sign was previously approved by a
Variance and by the Council; that this had been contin-
ued from time to time; that the two 32 square foot signs
were put up without approval; that this was no fault of
the existing property owner, but that this was sufficient
evidence that the two sighs ShoUld be removed; that the 240
square foot sign should be replaced with a sign not exceed-
ing 32 square feet and not exceeding 15 feet In height;
that along the freeway signs were limited to 900 square
feet of sign face area and in R-1 zones signs were liar
ited to 4 square feet;

00-
Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated that he had
attended the Rapid Transit hearing on Monday morning;
that approximately a dozen persons had testified,
Including the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce; that
he felt everyone agreed that they need a multiple
source of revenue for financing; that he would submit
a written report at a later time; that the League of
Women Voters had made a very good observation stating
that we could send a man to the moon, but that we
have to have an old railroad car for rapid transit;
that the whole system would cost approximately a
billion and a half dollars to begin; that also In
connection with rapid transit at one of their recent
meetings the Board of Supervisors was supporting the
City of El Monte in their objection to the tie In in El
Monte; that the reason that the Board of Supervisors
had taken this action was that they felt that the
median strip of the old Pacific Electric line should
be used for rapid transit and therefore there should
not be any Southern Pacific traffic along that line.
