Proper postings and mailings had been accomplished. There were no written protests. TESTIMONY WAS GIVEN BY: Martin Smith, 14784 Dutch Street, stated that his main protest was the Cities method of doing things. He said the resident, right behind him, Mr. Stephens, who has a corner lot was told he must put in sidewalks in order to get a building permit to make an addition to his house. Mr. Stephens complied with this, but Mr. Smith asked why he was not informed at the same tine because he and Mr. Stephens had contracted with the same contractor to do a lot of cement work and if they had put the sidewalks in at the same time they could have had the work done for about $ 30 a square foot. The same work now will cost Mr. Smith quite a few dollars more. Mr. Smith said that he would put in sidewalks if they were put in on the rest of Dutch Street. City Engineer French explained that Mr. Smith has the lot at the corner of Arditta and Dutch Streets. This work order is for sidewalks on Ardilta, not Dutch and Mr. Smith feels we should put sidewalks down both streets, or not put sidewalks in at all. Mayor McCaron asked City Engineer French to explain why we cannot go down Dutch Street. City Engineer French stated that the way it is set up in the Code we must have 50% of any block and the way the block is defined, Dutch Street doesn't fit into this definition of the State Code. Councilman Blewett asked City Engineer French what our procedure is as far as notification is concerned. City Engineer French said that from the stand point of pure manpower it is almost impossible to notify everyone when a permit is taken out on a block that makes it 50% or over. We do ask that the contractor work with the people in the area and inform them. We have city maps and we plot improvements, but to notify everyone when the 50% point is reached is very difficult. Mr. Smith further testified that the Baldwin Park ide O-F Ardilla Street has been in terrible condition for 4 years. He stated that for oyer 2 years he and Mr. Stephens have been pestering the City Hall and the Street Department trying to get some work done. They had the County Health Department out not too long ago because of standing water. He did not want to put in sidewalks at this time. Mayor McCaron asked if the improvements that are to be made will solve this problem and City Engineer French said they would not. Councilman Blewett asked why we could not develop a form letter that could be sent to people saying they are going to be liable for the 1911 Act. City Engineer French stated that they would set up a procedure to see what could be done to solve this problem. At the present time he stated the City is about six months jehi'nd on setting up the Short Forms. This entire procedure i accomplished by form tetter, which is the only way the Continued) October 7, 1970 Page 2 PUBLIC HEARING SHORT FORM 70-S-37 S) POSTINGS, MAILINGS NO WRITTEN PROTESTS TESTIMONY MARL IN SMITH 14784 DUTCH STREET BIB] 37659-U01 1970-U02 10-U02 07-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9994-U03 FO9996-U03 DO10048-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/6/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1970 10 07 CC MIN(ÌìÝvpeW5 Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council October 7, 1970 Page 3 1911 Act can be handled. He stated the big problem is the manpower involved in getting the property owner list to the secretary and having it researched and typed. He further stated the City is 2 to 3 weeks behind on dedication requests. As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak either in behalf of or in opposition to 70-S-37, Mayor McCaron declared the public hearing closed. It was the time and place fixed for a public hearing on 70-S-38, a Short Form 1911 Act, on the West side of Center Street between Olive Street and Dunia Street for sidewalk and drive approach.

Proper postings and mailings had been accomplished. City Engineer French stated that one written protest had been received from Mrs. Ralph Farmer, 3090 N. Maine. He read the protest which indicated the improvement would be a hardship. Copy in official files.) TESTIMONY WAS GIVEN BY: Mr. Ralph Farmer, 3090 N. Maine, stated that before they bought the property 10 feet had been signed over to the county. The county went to the owners and said if they would deed over 10 feet to them they would put in sidewalks free. Mr. Farmer said he could not see why they should pay to improve city property. He stated this is outside his property tine. City Engineer French stated that when a dedication is made on select system of streets, to the City at no cost, the City does install the curb and gutter in return for the dedication. This policy has been in effect for 4 or 5 years. The policy was originally adopted because with the gas tax that was established at that time, for every dollar of gas tax that was received the City had to spend a tike number of dollars to use the money. This procedure has changed on the gas tax but the policy remains. The County did at one time acquire dedication from certain streets, throughout the City.

It has never been determined that they promised to put in curb and gutter. City Engineer French stated that it is established by City Code and State Code that the property owners are re&ponsible for their street improvements. The use of the Assessment District we are using now is a State Act, not a local City Act. the responsibility of the property owner regarding improvements is pretty standard. Mayor McCaron brought up the subject of the zone change which was included in Mrs. Farmers letter. He stated that this would have to be referred back to the Planning Commission for study and also another hearing as to whether this could or should be rezoned. He stated further that it appeared that it was an error to zone it to C-2A and it should be zoned as R-1 which is what it was originally. Councilman King stated that he thought the staff should make a study to see if the County did make an agreement and if they did make an agreement and did not stand behind it, then the City should pick up this tab. He does not feel it should be a cost to the property owner, in this case. City Engineer French stated that they would look into this and if there was such an agreement there is no question as to the City recognizing it. TESTIMONY WAS GIVEN BY: TESTIMONY Mrs. Ralph Farmer, 3090 N. Maine, stated that she felt the MRS. RALPH FARMER property should not be changed back to its original zoning. 3090 N. MAINE She felt they should be able to sell the property as Commercial and they are unable to do so as it is C-2A. Councilman Blewett brought up the fact that the property is now zoned as C-2A which is one acre and since the Farmers do not have one acre to sell this is unrealistic.

Councilman King stated that he was a member of the Planning Commission when CP-141 was first presented and he would base his opinion on testimony given as well as the records. TESTIMONY IN FAVOR: TESTIMONY J. SAMUEL SHAFER, JR City Attorney Flandrick reminded Mr. Shafer that this was an appeal from the Planning Commissions decision on the Conditional Use Permit application and the burden of proof was on Mr. Shafer to establish the facts for the granting of the permit. Mr. Shafer stated that a11 the facts that were presented at the first appeal hearing exist at this time. Mayor McCaron informed Mr. Shafer that this is to be considered as an entirely new hearing and a11 facts should be brought out at this time. Mr. Shafer stated that the denial of the Conditional Use Permit was not justified. He said it was denied on the basis of alleged complaints regarding the existence of the s-;te as a truck yard. Mr. Shafer stated that he had confronted the property owners who had complained. One property owner at the East end, North side had complained about head lights of the trucks shining through bedroom windows and causing some discomfort in this respect. Mr. Shafer asked them what they thought should be done and they said a fence that would prevent the tight shining through, would be adequate. Mr. Shafer stated that he asked then if the noise bothered them and they said No". Mr. Shafer assured them that upon the granting of the permit this problem would be alleviated. Mr. Shafer stated that a second thing which was brought up y the property owner across the street on the East side of Etton was the matter of some dust. He stated they said it was nothing they could not live with. but they did realize that the dust was there, and they would appreciate it if something could possibly be done.

Mr. Shafer further stated that he talked to the property owners in the immediate vicinity of the truck yard and that a document was signed which stated to the Council and to the City that they endorsed the existence of'the truck yard and have no objections to it being at this location. Mr. Shafer stated he does have definite plans for permanent structures on this property, which will be of dual use buildings, so if at some time the truck yard is to vacate the property the buildings would be used for other commercial purposes. Mr. Shafer stated that properties in the area are mainly residential, however, several are operating as businesses at this time. Much of this property is for sale and is being sold as M-1 not R-1. He stated that there has been much concern expressed by the Commission and Council members that his type of operation does not afford the City a great deal of revenue. He admitted that this is true, but that 4 or 5 homes would not gain as much as a Comnerciat building in tax revenue. He granted that some aesthetic values should be and will be proved, fcjut this has not been done because the permit has not been aranted. He stated that with a little work and money it could be the finest looking truck yard in the area. Mr. Shafer finished with the statment that the residents endorsing his occupancy of the property was evidence that he had just cause for a permit. TESTIMONY WAS GIVEN BY: TESTIMONY Mr. Howard Millett stated that he had just purchased property HOWARD WILLETT at 5021 Heintz and he is looking for additional property to 5021 HEINTZ construct a warehouse. He stated that he voices no objection to the Trucking Company as they are clean and immaculate and some of the homes in the area appear to be a nuisance. TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION: TESTIMONY Mr. Cecil Wortz, 14925 Cragmont. stated that he opposed the CECIL WORTZ noise and dust made by the trucks. He mentioned a time when 14925 CRAGMONT rocks had been thrown into a neighbors back yard by a truck making a U turn. He stated he had never been contacted as to how he felt about the truck yard. TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION: TESTIMONY Mr. Gten Craig, 14931 Cragmont, stated that he had signed a GLEN CRAIG paper saying the truck yard was O.K. due to improvements that 14931 CRAGMONT were to be made. After he signed, Mr. Craig stated that things got worse instead of better and mentioned weekend mornings when the truck yard employees would change tires and grind the bodies of trucks for painting. He stated he was in opposition. TESTIMONY: TESTIMONY Mr. Shafer stated that, at one time, Mr. Craig had mentioned J. SAMUEL SHAFER a problem to him and the problem had been alleviated. The subsequent problems Mr. Craig had referred to in testimony were not mentioned to Mr. Shafer. Mr. Shafer stated that if he did not know about a problem, there was nothing he could do about it. He stated the dust will be taken care of and he admitted they do start to work approximately 5:30 to 6:00 A.M. but he further stated that most M-1 areas wi11 have some activity at that time. Sunday morning activity was ordered curtailed, however, the weekend mentioned, he was in Arizona, and the work was to have been completed on Saturday. It was not completed and his employee had come back on Sunday to finish the work.

Page 11 Councilman Hamilton stated that in this area there are equipment yards North and South. He stated that Mr. Shafer's property is the nicest looking one of the four in the area. He has a cement masonry fence in front of the building, while the others have chain link or broken down wire fences, with equipment exposed. He stated that if conditions were met that he could not see anything wrong with this truck yard. There are worse conditions on both sides and across the street and nothing is being done about them. He stated that the trucking industry is a very necessary part of our economy, and they need a place. He suggested that this be a temporary permit, with conditions, which would allow the applicant time to relocate. Councilman King stated that he thought the Planning Commission's recommendation was quite good and he does not think we should have further encroachment into the Southerly area by truck yards. He stated Mr. Shafer had flagrantly violated our laws and in doing so it was several months before the building department could make him comply or conform to the rules. He should have been aware in the beginning that this was a possibility and he shouldn't have upgraded the property knowing he might not be able to stay. Councilman King stated he would agree to a few months to park the trucks there, until he could find another place to park them, but he would not concur with the thinking that because the other yards are worse then his, that this property should take precedence over others. The other yards should be looked into and if they are not conforming, they should be next to be made to conform. If they are illegal, nonconforming, then they too, should come on the Agenda for action Councilman Btewett stated that it is about time the City Of Baldwin Park served notice that, instead of allowing this area to regress, we are going to make it progress. We are not going to allow equipment yards that will degrade the area and make it a burden on the rest of our tax payers. He stated it is costing every home owner in Baldwin Park money to maintain these equipment yards, and the sooner people are aware of this, the sooner they will agree with us and not tolerate this situation. Mr. Shafer stated that the truck yard is no more a burden on the City than any of the other properties in that area. They all have the same tax rate, based as though they were a vacant piece of property. Mr. Shafer stated that as this area is in transition, with a great deal of conflict as to whether it is R-1, M-1 or what it should be, why not put some kind of limited occupancy on the property, say thr?e to five years. He concluded with the statement that he is not against meeting the code but is unable to do so, because his hands are tied. TESTIMONY WAS GIVEN BY: Mr. Mike Dargus asked how many trucks Mr. Shafer owned and Mr. Shafer stated, seven. Mr. Clarence Fritz, 5120 Etton Street, stated that he is not speaking in favor of or opposition to the matter because the damage has already been done. He stated that in 1948 he bought property and at that time, it was a nice residential area. Since then, one-half of the area has been zoned M-1. He asked what the toad limit is. He stated there is a sign posted on Arrow Highway of the load limit. City Engineer French stated that in the R-1 area the load limit is 6000 Ibs. and in the M-1 area, there is no load limit. Mr. Fritz stated that they have the same conditions as were shown on the video tapes and that Councilman King is aware of these conditions. He said much of the property in that area Continued) TESTIMONY MIKE DARGUS CLARENCE FRITZ 5120 ELTON STREET BIB] 37659-U01 1970-U02 10-U02 07-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9994-U03 FO9996-U03 DO10048-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/6/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1970 10 07 CC MIN(ÌìÝvpeOC04574 Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council October 7, 1970 Page 12 is owned by nonresidentait owners and they are letting their property go to pot, to become fire traps and eye sores. He stated that just recently, he had a call because garbage and trash was piled waist high, next door to him. He stated that as far as the truck yard goes, he is not actually against it. but the fact that this truck yard is the best of the lot is not saying much for any of them. He said they have fought to keep their place presentable, but he thinks it is a losing battle. Councilman Blewett stated that he agreed that the area is a problem and that he thought some concrete decisions should be made on which way to go. He felt that as a body the Council must get their thoughts together and move in a direction and not relent as has been done in the past. This section of town is in a state of deterioration, and something must be done. As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak either in behalf of or in opposition to CP-141, Mayor McCaron declared the public hearing closed. COUNCILMAN KING MOVED THAT THE COUNCIL CONCUR WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION AND DENY THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, COUNCILMAN BLEWETT.SECONDED. Roll call.

Applicant F. J. Salmen and Associates. Proper publication, postings and mailings had been accomplished. PUBLIC HEARING Z-327 PUBLICATION. POSTINGS & MAILINGS As the next case CP-149 pertained to the same property. Mayor McCaron stated the two hearings would be held at the same time. It was the time and place for a public hearing on CP-149, an appeal from the decision of the Planning Commission on an application for a Conditional Use Permit in accordance with Section 9472, subsection 23 to construct a service station on certain real property located at 3575 and 3581 Patritti Avenue and 12675 Blenheim Street. Applicant F. J. Salmen and Associates Proper publication, postings and mailings had been accomplished. Planning Director Chivetta stated that the Planning Commission had considered Z-327 at a Public Hearing and denied the reclass- ification request and Conditional Use Permit, CP-149. The applicant was appealing that denial, which was the purpose of the public hearing. Since the appeal was filed the City has received a petition from property owners in the area. Planning Director Chivetta read the petition which stated the undersigned do not wish a service station to be built upon the property mentioned as the titling in of dirt would cause a wall to be built which would give the children on Partitti Avenue a place to climb and explore the freeway, lit would, also, create a traffic hazard and the petition stated that it could not be seen that a service station in that area would be of value to the community.

He pointed out on a map the 3 properties which win be involved in the service station site and stated that one of the property owners, who had proposed to sell their property to the applicant is one of the protestants in the action this evening. TESTIMONY IN FAVOR WAS GIVEN BY: Mr. Ray Duty, Mobil 011 Corporation Representative, 11001 Valley Mail, El Monte, stated that he had not had an opportunity to study the petition and would like a continuance until the next meeting. The Council agreed that there was no objection to continuing the matter after testimony was heard. Mr. Etiiott Noyes, with Mobil Oil, presented a rendering of the proposed service station. He stated that the homes on Blenheim would be looking to the rear of the service station building. It would provide no opportunity for children to climb the wall or get on the freeway. He stated, further that if there is something Council would like to see changed they would be more than happy to do so. He stated the homes on Patritti would be looking at a landscaped wall which will be much more attractive than a normal wall and the first watt wilt be 7 ft. high. Mr. Noyes stated that there would be dividers on Ramona Blvd. and it would be signalized. It would be much safer than it is now, and after checking with the traffic department, there is no reason to see a traffic hazard. He presented a drawing showing what the interchange would look tike; showing the freeway, the off ramp and the service station site. TESTIMONY WAS GIVEN BY: Mayor McCaron asked about the lighting situation and Mr. Joe Williams, Engineer with Mobil Oil, said that the elevation of the site would be designed in such a way so the service station would be isolated and lighting would not reflect into adjoining home areas. It is designed to look more like a business office situation rather than a service station. Councilman Blewett asked Mr. Noyes about the noise problem. Mr. Noyes replied that the only noise would come from the front portion of the lot and there would be no more noise than you would get off a normal road. Councilman Blewett said that since we have a few buildings of Spanish architecture on Ramona Blvd., would Mobil Oil cooperate with Baldwin Park in upholding a theme. Mr. Duty replied You Bet". Councilman King suggested the possibility of researching the City to see what they would prefer, in architectural design. Mr. Duty stated that they have taken a cross section poll to find out what they would Tike a service station to look like. This drawing is more or less a composite of what most Cities would like. He stated it was a matter of personal taste. TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION: Mr. Clarence Hartman, 3545 Patritti Avenue, stated that he had lived at that address for 17 years and there are several gas stations, along Ramona Blvd. which are closed. He said there is a Standard Station that closes at 8:00 p.m. but before it started closing at that time, it was nothing but a hang out for kids.

He stated, further that when it rains it will turn Patritti into a river, draining down on their property. He said that the Planning Commission had turned the station down and he felt it should be up to the people and they don't want any part of it. FURTHER TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION: Mrs. Myrtle Sturdy, 3569 Patritti Avenue, stated that she lives right next to the gas station and her back yard would be flooded out. She said they have a wall that runs along the back of the house which the children climb. She also mentioned, the amount of noise. FURTHER TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION: Linda Guihan, 3575 Patritti Avenue, stated that she is one of the property owners who are selling their property to the applicant. She stated that 2 weeks after they signed they found they had made a mistake. She stated they do not want to sell and do not want to move, and that she had sent the dollar check back to Mobil Oil. City Attorney Flandrick stated that the Planning Director has in his possession an application for the zone change matter as well as an application for the Conditional Use Permit which was signed by all three property owners as well as Mobil Oil Co. He asked Planning Director Chivetta if this was correct and Mr. Chivetta replied that they have an affidavit from Mr. Sal men as the purchaser agent of the property. He stated that he is unable, at this time, to locate the signatures of the property owners or a copy of the Escrow instructions which is a part of the requirement of the application. City Attorney Flandrick suggested that since the Council intends to continue these hearings that prior to taking any final action Mobil Oil be required to submit to the Council in compliance with our code in terms of the fact that the applications in both events must be made by the owners or by their agents, Mobil Oil should straighten the matter out with the property owner who wishes to withdraw her application before the next meeting. Mr. Duty stated that they had sent in a signed option which met with the Cities requirements. City Attorney Flandrick stated that if Mr. Duty would resubmit copies of the documents, they would be reviewed and comments would be made in advance of the next Council meeting. As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak, either in behalf of or in opposition to 1-327 and CP-149, May McCaron stated the hearing would be continued until the next Council meeting, October 21, 1970. There were no objections. 00- It was the time and place fixed for a public hearing on Amending certain provisions of the City Regulations pertaining to certain sections of the Uniform Building Code to provide for appropriate regulations for Fire wall construction on Comnercial and Industrial Buildings.

He suggested that before any action was taken on this matter, a draft of that type of ordinance could be examined and perhaps that will in terms of the precise plan resolve the difficulties rising out of various kinds of industrial and commercial- buildings. If this is not acceptable he stated that he and City Engineer French had worked out a draft of an ordinance specifically with respect to the question of metal buildings that would add a provision to the code prohibiting the construction of any building having an exterior wall or covering of less than 1/8 of an inch thickness, excluding glass areas. City Attorney Flandrick suggested that in liew of amendments to the building regulations with regard to the type of construction, the problem might be resolved by the device of the Precise Plan. in terms of zoning as opposed to building regulations. Councilman Gregory stated that what she had in mind, when she brought this up at the last meeting was that perhaps the Fire Zone code was allowing certain types of buildings to be brought into our City without the control that she would like to see. It is not that she was against metal buildings, it was the fact that she was expressing a concern with what we have now in our City that is allowing something that is undesirable in the M and the C properties or zones. She suggested that the Planning Conrnission could consider this as a study and perhaps even look into the Fire Zone itself, if that is needed. She stated she would like to see a complete study made of all the commercial and M zones as to precise plans to have the controls that are needed to bring;about better building for Baldwin Park and therefore upgrading. Councilman Gregory suggested that if this is a work- able thing that the Commission should pass on each building that is being brought into our Commercial and Industrial area. She stated that mistakes have been made and will continue to be made unless something more precise is given to people in authority to put these stipulations into effect. She stated that she did not want, at this time, to pass on any ordinance but preferred that a study be made of the fire codes and the uniform building code. Councilman King stated that he felt the M and the C zones should be referred to the Commission for study with the possibility of a precise plan. As far as metal buildings are concerned Councilman King stated it was not the abolishment of metal buildings but only the galvanized buildings. He stated further, that even a portion of the galvanized metal buildings can be used if its heavy manufacturing and textured metal would not be suitable. He stated there appeared to be apprehension over Mr. Brooks property. He read a portion of a letter from Mr. Brooks which stated that the production operation would be housed in a new color enamel metal building. The headquarters will be located in a separate attractive masonry glass office designed by a qualified architect. The entrance will be attractively landscaped and will be a pleasing sight from the new freeway. r l Continued) BIB] 37659-U01 1970-U02 10-U02 07-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9994-U03 FO9996-U03 DO10048-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/6/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1970 10 07 CC MIN(ÌìÝvpeCC04578 Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council October 7, 1970 Page 16 i Councilman Gregory stated that her concern is the fact that we have no control to see that promises on paper are followed through. She stated that she has no objection to the fire code remaining as it is, but we stilt need the building type of controls so we will have something better in Baldwin Park than we now have. Mayor McCaron asked Councilman Gregory if what she wanted was control over the type of building that could go on a lot, and Councilman Gregory answered that was right. Councilman Gregory stated that it concerns only the aesthetic value of the building as the use is already in the Code, and that an indepth study is a must. Councilman Blewett said that he is in favor of a precise plan for Baldwin Park in M-1, M-2, C-1 and C-2 as well as R-3. He would be in favor of a plot plan review and approval by the staff. He stated he wants beauty and quality control. Mayor McCaron asked the Council if they wanted to withdraw this action and Councilman Gregory said that she would like to ask City Attorney Flandrick what the best procedure would be. She said what was requested was an indepth study by the Planning Coimiission and she asked if this hearing should continue. City Attorney Flandrick stated that the matter before the Council relates strictly to the question of fire zones and building regulations and if the precise plan of development system is to be instituted, in whatever form the Commission recommends, it would accomodate the points raised and it would not be necessary to amend the building code. Councilman Gregory stated that if this matter could go to the Planning Coinnission, then the hearing could be dropped, Councilman Blewett stated that he did not think it was necessary to go to the Planning Commission, but that City Attorney Flandnck could possibly handle it. However, Councilman Gregory stated that she would object to this because she felt that action from the Conrnission level was necessary as a recommendation to the Council. City Attornely Flandrick stated that he felt a precise plan ordinance could be drafted to accomodate a number of the problems that have been raised. Councilman Hamilton agreed that he would like to see the City upgraded. He brought up the point of the tax rate, and said the City requirements must not be so restrictive as to raise the cost of construction. He stated we do not want to keep people out, but rather bring them into Baldwin Park.

He stated that they are the first ones that would like to see the elimination of corregated iron buildings, and their buildings have a panel rib or baked enamel and are designed so they can be guaranteed for 20 years against cracking and peeling. Mr. Barnes presented photographs of various buildings to show the type of buildings they are building today, throughout the industry. He stated that Baldwin Park should keep an open mind, because if word gets out that we wilt not permit metal buildings they will not build here. He stated that thousands of people are employed in metal buildings which gives the City additional tax revenue.

He stated that if there were any questions Council wished to ask about the metal buildings he would be most happy to' answer them. Councilman King stated that he felt there was not a pictured building in the lot that Baldwin Park would not accept. Mr. Bames said his company would be happy to meet with the Planning Commission, should Council so desire and they would help in this study. He presented brochures to the Council Councilman Gregory stated that she would like part of the package presented by Mr. Barnes given to the Planning Comnission as part of the study. Councilman Blewett said that when he went to the Los Angeles Beautiful" luncheon, there were several metal buildings that did win awards. He stated that they would love to have any of the buildings, shown by Mr. Barnes, in Baldwin Park. However, he stated the thing we are concerned with now is developing a precise plan so we can approve these buildings before they come in. Mr. Bames stated they are going to meet with different Planning Commissions in the Los Angeles County area to enlighten them to the fact that there is a modern building procedure. There was discussion in regard to the informal moratorium being continued. Councilman Gregory stated that she would like to continue the informal moratorium until the Planning Commission came' up with a precise plan. She asked Planning Director Chivetta how long it would take and he said 30 days or 60 days at the most. TESTIMONY WAS GIVEN BY: Mr. Herb R. Sawtelle. 5115 Azusa Canyon Road, stated that Galloway Co. occupies one of the ugly ducklings" referred to. He stated they have 5 acres of land south of Arrow highway and they erected their buildings some 10 years ago. At the present time, they employ 120 Baldwin Park residents. He stated they maintain the property in excellent condition and the offifce buildings are masonry. However, the factorys are in corrugated buildings that have served industry for years, and will probably continue to serve. He stated that the proposal the Council is considering is going to eliminate their plans for expansion. He stated that the moratorium on corrugated metal buildings would also extend to repairs on existing buildings and if this comes to pass Galloway would have to move from Batdiwn Park. He stated they cannot put up brick and mortar buildings because there is no way they can forecast what their needs are going to be. Councilman Gregory stated that Galloway structures had never been considered as ugly ducklings" because the premises were well landscaped and the buildings were painted and the City had been cooperative when Galloway had had problems. Mr. Sawtetle stated that if the cost of manufacturing escalates so they can no longer remain competitive, their source of revenue is going to dry up and eventually'the business climate will no longer be favorable. TESTIMONY WAS GIVEN BY: TESTIMONY HENRY LITTLE JOHN Mr. Henry Little John stated that he felt the City Council was making a mistake in catling a moratorium on metal buildings.
