Oft Under Oral Communications, Mr. Ned Fitzpatrick, 4609 314 NED FITZPATRICK, Merced, Baldwin Park, stated that he was a Steam Engineer 4605 314 Merced, B.Pk. for Hoilytex Carpet Mills, City of Industry; that since he had bought this property in order to be close to his work he had had nothing but opposition and obstacles to making any improvement; that It was on an undedicated unimproved street; with no curbs or sewers; that as far as he knew the water came from the back of the lots; that there was an alley in back of the property; that there was a fence on three 3) sides of the property; that he worked nights and his wife was home alone; that he had thought he would put up a five 5) ft. chain link fence In the front of the property and that was the first he had known there would be so many obstacles; that he was told he could only put up a three 3) ft, fence; that he had put in a three 3) ft. chain link fence; that on one side of the house, which was only four 4) ft. off of the property line there was a garage that was only nine 9) ft, wide at the outside; that with a car in the garage it was Impossible to open the car doers; that he proposed to close off the small garage and build a two car garage n the back; that he had applied for permits and right away there was opposition; that in this class of property he could not conform to the Code; that It was too expensive, but that he would like to make a place that was nice enough to live in; that anyone was welcome to look at the place and see the difference he had made n the two months he had been there; that the house had been empty for three years; that he had bought at a fair price and was willing to improve It; that at this time he did not know what to do; that he had wanted to do the work himself; that the street was only about twenty 20) ft. wide and no street lights; that on the corners of Merced Avenue the garages were built right on the street line; that t would be almost impossible to put n curbs, gutters, sidewalks and sewers without tearing down the garages; that if he installed curbs, gutters and sidewalks they would be the only ones on the street; that there was one set Code with no deviations whatsoever; that when he had purchased the property t was full of weeds, and debris which he had hauled away and paid $12.00 to dump. City Engineer French stated that his understanding of Mr. Fitzpatrick's problem was threefold: 1) that when Mr. Fitzpatrick wanted to take out a permit on the garage he was required to have a five 5) ft. sideyard setback or build the garage with a one I) hour fire wall if the garage was built on the property line; that this was a requirement of the Building Code and it was standard throughout California; 2) that the Zoning Code required a twelve 12) ft. paved drive to the garage; 3) the City's Ordinance required for improvements over a $1,000.00 that curb, gutter, sidewalk and drive approach be constructed; that he felt the Building Code regulation was vital and that there should be no deviation; that the only way to deviate from the installation of curb, gutter, sidewalk and drive approach was to get permission from the Council because It would be impractical to establish the curb line or that the grades would be Impractical to establish; that this was a private street and t was narrow and that the conditions did exist; that he recommended until the area could be developed that the curbs, gutters, sidewalks and drive approach be waived as impractical to establish alignment; that dedication Continued) 1968 05 01 CC MIN ×P$õ˜ö O C63774 Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council May 1, 1968 Page 3 was needed in the area; that the way the structures were situated on the private street did not provide enough width for a sixty 60) ft, street; that unless many of the structures were removed there could not be a full street; that he recommended that in lieu of construction of curbs, gutters and sidewalks that the portion of private street under control of Mr. Fitzpatrick be granted to the City; that this would be the first step in developing a public street Into the area; that the area was developed under County jurisdiction and in his opinion they would probably not ever be able to get a full sixty 60) ft. dedicated street; that at some time they should be able to get a modified street, perhaps on an alley pattern or a partial alley pattern. City Attorney Flandrick stated that the deviation from the curb, gutter and sidewalk requirement could be accomplished, but only upon written application to the City Council; that he recommended that Mr. Fitzpatrick write such a letter after he had examined the Code section to make sure he had covered the points; that it could then be acted on by the Council. Mayor McCaron stated he would like a plot map showing exactly what the difficulty was in the area so that Council would be familiar with the problem. Mr. Fitzpatrick inquired if a concrete block wall would be considered a fire wall. City Engineer French stated the wall did not have to be as substantial as a concrete block wall. Mayor McCaron suggested that Mr. Fitzpatrick contact City Engineer French again and present his letter to the Council requesting waiver of curbs, gutters and sidewalks. 00- City Clerk Batkus presented an application for a Temporary CO-AAYANS, B.PK.

Mr. Riggs stated that he did not see how this affected Mr. Riggs the City Council; that this was his private and personal property; that he felt he was more qualified to state whether the cars were abandoned or not; that this par- ticular Issue was resolved last year to the best of his knowledge; that he would like to know why it was being reopened. City Engineer French stated that a complaint had been received concerning the property last year; that the vehicles had been closer to the street; that they had requested that the vehicles be removed; that they were moved further back on the property; that the vehicles were partially fenced off from the street by bamboo; that they were still being stored in violation of the Zoning Code and other Codes of the City; that the photo-- graphs showed the vehicles were substantially in the same condition, shape and form as they were a year ago. Mr. Riggs stated that whatever investigation had been Mr. Riggs made was a poor one; that no one had spoken with him personally; that you could not determine the condition of the cars from the street; that scare one should have come to the door and talked with him concerning the cars to see what shape they were actually in; that It had been stated that nothing had been done; that quite a bit had been done; that the Ford Coupe had new brakes; that the Oldsmobile had a timing chain; that this particular car belonged to his son who had been out of work so he had not been operating the car; that he had a terrific investment in the Plymouth, over $2500., and he had had hardly any use out of it; that the crank shaft on the motor broke; that he had wanted to put In a new motor, but circumstances and conditions of health had prevented him from doing so; that now the car was old enough, he felt, he could put In a rebuilt motor and get some use out of It; that his line of work had been a little lax and he had not had the money to put in as fast as he would like; that If the position of the vehicles was offending any one he would like to take care of it by possibly fencing or enclosing the vehicles all the way around until he could fix them. Mayor McCaron Inquired how long the vehicles had been sitting where they were without having been moved, Mr. Riggs wherein Mr. Riggs stated the Plymouth Coupe had been taken by him as partial payment on a job; that he had a fifteen 15) year old son and felt it was a good Idea to give him something to work on; that It had a racing engine and was probably worth more than It looked like; that he had not licensed the car because he did not want his son operating the car, only to work on it; that two 2) of the cars had been there since last year; that the 1959 Plymouth was last licensed In 1963. City Engineer French stated that the area around the cars should be cleaned up and the cars stored In compliance with the Zoning Code; that the Zoning Code required that the cars be stored within a structure, Planning Director Ch)vetta stated that the usual storage of dismantled vehicles would be Inside a structure; that In Mr. Riggs case he was working on the vehicles and trying Continued) 1968 05 01 CC MIN ×P$õ ˜öx003'7'79 Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council Map 1, 1968 Page 8 to get them back on the road and he would recommend setae type of leniency as long as they were removed out of sight and put behind a view obscuring fence or wall. Mayor McCaron asked if there was any time limit on how long the cars could remain in this condition; that if this were allowed to occur in this instance, dismantling so to speak, I could be started in other areas. Planning Director Chivetta stated there was nothing stating that a person had so many days to repair a vehicle, Mr. Riggs stated there was an error on the list of vehicles; Mr, Riggs that he had never owned a Chevrolet; that two 2) were listed that the Wagon in question was a 1959 Plymouth, hot a 1947 Chevrolet Councilman Morehead asked Mr. Riggs how long he would need from this date on to put the cars in condition to operate and park as you would a normal car; wherein Mr, Riggs stated Ar, Riggs it was not only a matter of time, bat a matter of money; that he worked alone; that he intended to have them out before the end of the year; that there was no garage on the property, City Engineer French recommended that Mr. Riggs be given thirty 30) days to enclose the vehicles with 6 view obscuring fence to the satisfaction of the Planning Depart- ment or removal of the vehicles. Mayor McCaron stated that he would like to have the Planning Commission study rules and regulations concerning how much time should be allowed to restore a vehicle. Planning Director Chivetta asked if it was the intention of Council to permit storage of vehicles in R-1 zones) that at the present time the Code does not permit storage of vehicles; that It permits the keeping of tenants vehicles and of course this means other than a disabled vehicle, wherein Mayor McCaron stated that Council should have some guide lines as to time allowed for abatement, City Attorney Flandrick stated that if the Planning Commission did make the study and recommendations to the City Council In terms of Zoning Regulations, he would also recaemwand to the Commission as a part of the regulations that they declare'a specific period of abatement for existing storage at the time of the adoption of the regulations, therefor If the regulations should go into effect, approved by the Commis- sion and adopted by the City Council, it should be made clear to Mr. Riggs that notwithstanding what was done an this per.- tlcular case if the abatement were set at a period of six 6) months or a year or whatever t might be, the City would be reopening the case again whether the vehicles were en- closed within a fence or not, City Attorney Flandrick further stated that if Council-- RES, NO. 68-94 SUB- adopted Resolution No. 68-94, Subparagraph d) of Para- PARAGRAPH Id1 OF PARA- graph t2) should be deleted; that in Section 2, Third GRAPH 2) SHOULD BE Line, after the phrase from the said property" be added DELETED; THAT IN SECTION or enclose the area where the vehicles are to be locat-- 2, THIRD LINE, AFTER THE ed with a view obscuring wall within thirty 301 days of PHRASE FROM THE SAID the date hereof"; that should the recommendation coarse back PROPERTY" BE AIDED OR from the Commission that there be storage or whatever it ENCLOSED THE AREA WHERE might be in the residential zones of vehicles other than THE VEHICLES ARE TO BE accessory vehicles, i.e. those owned and operated by the LOCATED WITH A VIEW owner, occupant, etc.; that he felt sure there would be a OBSCURING WALL WITHIN time limitation imposed for the elimination of uses of this 30 DAYS OF THE DATE type, therefor Mr. Riggs should be forewarned that within HEREOF" the near distant future, perhaps six 6) months to a year, tContlnued) 1968 05 01 CC MIN ×P$õ ˜ö 000378® Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council May-1, 1968 Page 9 that notwithstanding the view obscuring fence, that the City would be enforcing the regulation, He asked Mr. Riggs for clarification as to what the vehicles on the property were, wherein Mr, Riggs stated that he had a 1364 Oldsmobile, 1957 Plymouth Sportcoupe, Mr. Riggs 1959 Plymouth Station Wagon, and a 1956 Ford, which he was operating.
