Councilman King commented that it appeared to him Nationwide was not very interested in Baldwin Park, in that it had taken an unusually long time to set up the appoint- ment in the first place, and then no one had been there at the time set. and the appointment had not been cancelled. Mrs. Batkus stated she had received two telephone calls this date from Mr. Griner and Mr. Voight of Nationwide, asking whether the matter could be delayed two more weeks to allow time for the Committee to view their facility. Councilman Btewett felt that Nationwide had had their opportunity, and that if they had been interested in Baldwin Park they should have taken more initiative in trying to sell their organization; as it was, the City had had to take the total initiative. He stated it concerned him, because this might be an indication of the type of service that could be expected if a franchise were awarded to this company. He felt Nationwide had not demonstrated their desire to serve the City of Baldwin Park. TESTIMONY WAS GIVEN BY: John Powell, Hughes Aircraft Company, Culver City, repre- senting Theta Cable, stated that they looked forward to the opportunity to serve the City, and should the franchise be awarded to his company, they would be ready and willing to begin work as soon as possible. James Q. Gibson, 13268 E. Francisquito, stated that at the last public hearing he had remarked that, regardless of the type of salesmanship presented, the City should take a good look at the quality of the merchandise offered. He felt it was now apparent that the City had done their best to seek the best service for the City, and he was in agree- ment that if Nationwide had not been dependable as far as keeping appointments, this might be reflected in their service. He stated he wished to withdraw the objections he had made at the last hearing in this respect, and would acquiesce to a decision of the Council in favor of a company other than Nationwide. Councilman McCaron asked how many channels would be pro- vided by Theta Cable under normal service. Mr. Powell stated approximately twenty channels; seven additional channels hopefully would be provided four educational, one available to the municipality and local interested groups, one weather-news ticker type channel, and one sports and entertainment channel. For clarification, Mr. Powetl stated there were 13 broadcast channels currently available in the Los Angeles area which, pursuant to F.C.C. rules, they were required to carry; these would be made available for their basic charge of $5; because a special converter was required to provide additional channels, an additional charge of $1 per month was required. Councilman Hamilton commented that Theta Cable did have the facilities to provide the desired service, they had pursued their interest in serving the City, and he felt Nationwide had had an opportunity to present their program, and since they did not take advantage of the opportunity, he was ready to vote on the matter this evening.

Mr, French stated that the growth of grass could not be controlled, and would require maintenance; however, regard- ing the construction of a drive approach, Mr. French reviewed his memo to the City Manager dated November 3, 1972. He stated he had spoken to Mr- Eiszele just prior to the Council meeting, and Mr- Eiszele was in agreement with the report, which indicated that if Mr- Eiszele wanted the drive approach constructed, the City would bear the cost of and remove the existing sidewalk, and Mr. Eiszele would bear the cost of replacement of the existing curb and gutter in the drive approach area, and the cost of the drive approach; this would increase his assessment by $73.31- Mr. Eiszele had agreed this arrangement was satisfactory to him. As there was no one in the audience desiring to speak either in behalf of or in opposition to 71-S-30 or 71-S-31, Mayor Gregory declared the public hearing closed.

Proper postings and Mailings had been accomplished. City Engineer French presented photographs of the property. He stated that the property had been before Council at the last meeting as a public nuisance with respect to the condition of the yard. Mr. French stated that only two of the vehicles listed in the Resolution were stilt on the property as of this after- noon, one of which appeared that it might now be in operable condition. There were five additional vehicles on the property at the present time; however, insofar as the public hearing is concerned, only one inoperable vehicle renains, which is a Pontiac with no motor, license UWX 946. He stated that apparently this property will be a continuing problem, and new proceedings will have to be initiated regard- ing the additional vehicles. TESTIMONY WAS GIVEN BY: Robert Blessing, tenant at 1366 Maine Avenue, stated that all the vehicles are operable; none of them are junk. He stated that the motor for the Pontiac was having repair work done on it, and the car had not been operable for only a few days. In answer to Mayor Gregory's question, Mr. Blessing stated the cars were owned by him or members of his family, and they remained on the property as long as they owned them and had a use for them. Mr. French comnented that there are cars moving in and out of this property that are not being operated a11 the time, and this was not only a violation of the Public Nuisance Ordinance, but also the Zoning Code. Mr. Blessing stated there were a lot of cars coming to and leaving his property, but they were friends, etc. and did not remain there. Councilman King stated that the property appeared clean, according to the photographs, and if these were all Mr. Blessing's vehicles and he was working on them, the only stipulation would be that he should screen them from view. Mr. French clarified that these photographs had been taken to show the vehicles, and did not show the storage in the rest of tte yard. He reiterated that this property had been before Council at the last meeting as a public nuisance, and the yard was essentially in the same condition as it was as that time. Councilman Hamilton asked Mr. Blessing whether he was doing repair work on the cars, or buying and selling then. Mr. Blessing stated he was not buying and selling automobiles, and was doing repairs only to his own automobiles as necessary. In answer to Councilman King, Mr. Blessing stated there were five people in his family who drove. Mayor Gregory asked whether Mr. Blessing planned to clean up the property. He stated they were in the process of cleaning UD the auto parts in the yard, but he did not know how he could hide the autonomies.

He felt the storage should be cleaned up, but did not feel Mr. Blessing could be denied his right to own the vehicles. Councilman McCaron stated the main objection appeared to be the haphazard manner in which the vehicles were parked, He stated that Mr. Blessing should make an effort to keep the property more orderly, which might eliminate the problem and objections by the neighbors. City Attorney Flandrick stated that since the public hearing concerned only one vehicle, the Pontiac, and Mr. Blessing had testified that this vehicle was operable. Council should accept that testimony, unless they desired a further report on that vehicle. He suggested the matter be referred to the Planning Director to inform Mr. Blessing specifically of the applicable zoning regulations, give him a reasonable time to comply, and if he fails to do so, submit the matter to the District Attorney's Office. As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak either in behalf of or in opposition to 71-A-20, Mayor Gregory declared the public hearing dosed.

MONTEREY AV Proper postings had been accomplished. There were no written protests. City Engineer French stated the proposed vacation was for a portion of Monterey Avenue westerly of Walnut. It had been determined that this street was not needed because of the future Walnut School site. TESTIMONY WAS GIVEN BY: Mrs. Gunther, 13627 Lubican, stated the street runs behind her house, and she asked why there was a need for a street there. City Engineer French explained that the street had been dedicated in the past, and it was part of the General Plan that this street would continue up through the Walnut School site. He stated there had been a development brought before the Planning Commission and the Council, whereby homes would be built behind Mrs. Gunther's home which would face Monterey. City Engineer French pointed out the area on a map and explained to Mrs. Gunther where it would be in relation to her home. Mrs. Gunther asked whether this would raise her prooerty taxes. City Attorney Flandrick stated it would not. Mayor Gregory suggested that if NTS. Gunther had any further questions, she might come In to talk with Mr. French or Mr. Gordon for clarification. Discussion followed regarding parcels Involved and access. Councilman HcCaron asked whether there was another street plan In the event the School District failed to develop the property with a school. City Engineer French stated that Monterey abuts the school property on the north, and could be used to come In from that direction; however, he Mas of the understanding that the School District did intend to develop the property. Councilman McCaron stated he had understood these plans might have been revised. Councilman King felt the matter should be held over until there was tangible evidence of the direction the School District was going to take. Councilman BleNett stated that Sutterfield, of the School District, had assureti nn the District Intended to retain the property; cevelcpwient had been Impeded because a bond Issue had failed to pass., but as the need for new schools grew, the site would be developed- Mr- Sutterfield had Indicated that the only possibility under which the property might be sold would be for a large commercial venture, but not for R-1- Continued) POSTINGS NO WRITTEN PROTESTS RESUME TESTIMONY MRS.

City Engineer French pointed out that the school site was large enough that if and when it was developed, it would probably have an interior street pattern of its own, to allow a larger lot yield. Councilman King stated the community must be considered insofar as the circulation element and what a dead-end street would mean for this particular area as far as police and fire protection, etc. Councilman McCaron asked whether there was an urgency on this matter. Mr. French stated a development had been approved by the Planning Conmssion, and the developer was anxious to begin work. Councilman Blewett asked how many actual lots would be created on one side of the street; Mr. French replied three. Councilman Blewett did not feel that the resulting cut-de-sac would be too deep. Councilman McCaron felt there should be a street pattern showing the development of the property whether this is retained or vacated. Discussion followed. City Engineer French stated that regardless of whether the street is continuous or a cul-de-sac, the conditions to the houses that face Lubican are the same, except that on the cut-de-sac they have less street behind them. Mr. French reiterated that the School District was adamant regarding their intention to develop the school site. Discussion followed. As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak either in behalf of or in opposition to the proposed vacation of a portion of Monterey Avenue, Mayor Gregory declared the public hearing closed.

Mr. Gordon distributed plot plans showing the proposed building, and pointed out the location on the wall map. Between this parcel and the freeway is the Dalewood Park Roadside Rest. There are five parcels between this parcel and Bess Avenue, two of which are vacant. and three of which have homes and/or duplexes* The east side of Leorita is zoned R-3 and the west side is zoned C-l. The property behind this parcel has a storm drain easement, and the drive-in theater, The proposed use for the property is a wholesale and retail Western riding goods and apparel outlet. Mr. Gordon stated the Planning Commission recommended approval subject to the conditions that the proposed building have a front yard setback of 50 feet, and that second reading of the ordinance be withheld until plans have been submitted. He further stated that if second reading was to be withheld, it would be desirable to designate a specific time limit. TESTIMONY WAS GIVEN BY: Edwin Eiko, 13057 Bess Avenue, presented a rendering of the type of building proposed, indicating a 150x30 building in a Spanish motif; the porch will be an additional 5 feet. He stated the plan as shown would be reversed, in that the window and door configuration would be to suit the owner, and stated there would be one business, occupied by one owner. Mr. Eiko stated that the conditions imposed were agreeable to him. Councilman King inquired about a 20' strip, which was a portion of an easement, and stated it would appear that this would service the area and give better ingress and egress. Mr. Gordon stated that it appeared that this strip was being used as part of the park. Mr. Eiko stated he had lived there since 1945, and the alley was put in by the subdivider and was paved to have the proper curb returns; it was removed at a later date by City crews. He stated the alley had never actually been vacated. He further commented that the alley had an L" shape around to the left of Dalewood. and there was no need for the turn to the left, but just to go straight in. Mr. Eiko felt the easement should be restored. Councilman King felt the alley would be good for this development, and concurred it should be paved to provide better access. He did not feel it would affect the park site. Councilman McCaron asked about the type of business. Mr. Eiko stated the entire office operation would be in Baldwin Park; the display room and office would take up one third of the floor area. He would handle custom- made and manufactured saddles, riding apparel, etc. There will be no manufacturing on the premises, only sales Regarding the 20-foot height of the building. Mr. Eiko stated this would include the parapet in the front, and would be lower toward the rear because of the slope; the porch roof would be much lower.

Mr. Eiko stated he had originally proposed a 40-foot setback from the curb line, but had agreed with the Planning Commission's con- dition of 50 feet so that Mrs. McDonald would have a better view. Councilman McCaron did not feel Council could condition a zone change. Mr. Etko stated he intended to make sure it was built as proposed, and indicated he was willing, as owner of the lot, to place recorded restrictions to that effect on the deed before it was transferred. Councilman Blewett commented that since this would be a C Zone, the property would be regulated under the Precise Plan Ordinance, which would give the City some insurance. Mrs. Laura McDonald, 1022 Leorita Street, stated she lived on the adjacent property; she owned two lots presently zoned R-3. She stated her home is there now, but she planned to develop both lots into R-3 eventually. She stated the proposed building will be no more than a driveway's width from her front room, because the lots are narrow and the building is proposed right on the side lot line. She stated she was further concerned because of the steep grade of the lots; the property was the old Walnut Creek Wash. She felt the builder might fill in the grade and if hers was not filled, it might wash into her property. She felt a retaining wall should be required. She further voiced her concern about noise that might be created by air conditioning units on top of the building, since it was in such close proximity to her home. She stated she was in favor of the property remaining R-3 and being developed as residential. Councilman King asked for clarification regarding the engineering problems and mechanical equipment requirements that appeared to concern Mrs. McDonald. Planning Director Gordon stated the outside mechanical equipment had to be kept within an enclosure when adjacent to an R Zone, and kept in such a way that no noise would affect the adjacent property. The builder would be required to submit a grading plan conditioned to have no negative effects on adjacent property. He stated that no wall was required in a C Zone. Councilman King stated that he, personally, would rather have this type of development next to him than to be encompassed by multiple units; this development would be quiet in nature, and the Precise Plan procedure would insure the type of development as presented to the Planning Commission and the City Council. Mrs. McDonald stated she had a 5-foot setback from the side lot line, and this building was proposed right on the side lot line. Mr. Gordon stated that in R-1 Zones a 5-foot setback was required, but not in R-3 Zones. He stated that at the Planning Commission hearing, Mr. Eiko had indicated his willingness to set back 5 feet. Discussion followed regarding the respective setbacks of Mrs. McDonald's home and the proposed building, and Mrs, McDonald's future plans for development of the property Continued) MRS.

BL of sales tax and to start developing freeway frontage for sates tax purposes. He stated this property imnediately adjoined his theater property to the rear, and he would have no objection to the proposed zone change or use- Regardinq the 5-foot setback, Mr. Eiko stated they had proposed to have the walls made out of ornamental concrete so as not to be objectionable to the neighbors or anyone else, and if the zone change were granted, he had considered petitioning the Council for a variance to vary with the 5-foot side yard setback, thinking that this would eliminate the chance of weeds, air conditioning equipment being put alongside the building, etc. He felt this would enhance the neighboring property, and he was surprised to team that Mrs. McDonatd had an objection to the proposed change and usage. Councilman McCaron asked whether Mr. Etko owned any other property on Leorita. Mr. Eiko replied he owned 1011 and 1013 on the westerly side, and on the easterly side he owned the subject lot, 1012, 1010, 1008. 1006 and a vacant lot on the comer of Bess Avenue- In answer to Councilman McCaron*s question, Mr. Eiko stated the rear end of the property adjoined the theater property on which the County flood control channel was located, and his property ran to the easement for the underground conduit. Councilman McCaron asked whether there would be any objection to orienting the building in a little different manner, in that the entire property was exposed to the freeway. Mr. Etko stated it angled from the freeway at about 45°. He stated he felt it would be best to have the front landscaped, rather than use it for parking. Councilman McCaron inquired about the possibility of the property being rezoned. C-P. Mr. Gordon stated that C-P allowed offices only; retail or wholesale sales were not permitted uses. City Attorney Flandrick reiterated that the Precise Plan procedure would control the type of building, size, etc., and the Planning Commission has the option to designate the precise location of the building, air conditioning, and so on; the type of setting would be covered in the C-1 Zone. Councilman Hamilton asked what Mr. Etko proposed regarding Mrs. McDonatd's concern about flooding from his tot. He stated there would be no grade or slope, and there would be a retaining watt. Councilman King stated this was an engineering problem and would be taken care of by that Department. Councilman McCaron asked whether wholesaling was permitted in the C-t Zone. Planning Director Gordon stated it was allowed when an incidental part of the business; however, a strictly wholesale outfit is not permitted in C-t. In answer to Councilman McCaron's question, Mr. Eiko stated he was setting the property contingent upon this particular usage, and that the building be built as pro- posed.

Mr. Eiko felt restoration of the alley was a necessity, and indicated his willingness to pay for half the cost of the restoration. COUNCILMAN KING MOVED THAT THE CITY ENGINEER RESEARCH THE MATTER AND REPORT TO THE COUNCIL REGARDING THE POSSIBLE RESTORATION OF THE ALLEYWAY. COUNCILMAN BLEWETT SECONDED. There were no objections. The motion carried and was so ordered. 00- It was the time and place fixed for a public hearing on AZC-54, amending the Zoning Code, Section 9630.10 and 9620.21 to require that all contractor's yards and shops in the M-l and C-M Zones must obtain a Conditional Use Permit. Initiated by the Baldwin Park Planning Commission. Proper publication and postings had been accomplished. There were no written protests. Planning Director Gordon stated that the purpose of the conditional use permit is to allow the Planning Commission to evaluate the effect of and put special conditions on types of development which can or often does cause problems. He stated that contractor's yards have a tendency to be eyesores, with little or no improvements. He felt new business would be reluctant to come into Baldwin Park unless the industrial areas were cleaned up. Mr. Gordon reviewed his report on AZC-54, and listed the guidelines which he had prepared for conditional use per- mits for contractor's yards: 1) street improvements; 2) walls 6-ft. block between the property and C or R zones; 6-ft. block around outside storage; 3) landscaping planters along sidewalk); 4) paved driveway back at least 30 feet; and 5) storage and parking areas paved or graveled. He stated that the exact conditions for each yard should be based on the particular problem of each application as pre- sented. Mr. Gordon pointed out that all existing yards would be required to obtain a conditional use permit within two years. In answer to Councilman McCaron's question, Mr. Gordon stated that the cost for a conditional use permit is approximately $125, and it takes about a month for processing. Councilman McCaron felt the standards for development should be set up so they could be controlled by the Planning Director, rather than by conditional use permit- Discussion followed regarding existing yards which supposedly had conditional use permits which had not been enforced, and which had been the subject of complaints. Councilman King was under the impression these yards were legal non-conforming Mr. Gordon stated that most of the yards now in the City did not have conditional use permits. Mr. Gordon comnented that an added reason for the conditional use permit is that because of the type of use, the contractor would have to come before the Planning Commission to justify his case, and would end up with a better quality development. He stated contractor's yards tended to be problems.

Discussion followed regarding enforcement of the permit conditions, Councilman McCaron felt too much was being asked of a person who wanted to bring a business into town. He felt the same thing could be accomplished administratively, according to the guidelines in Mr- Gordon's report- Councilman King felt a requirement for a conditional use permit would not keep a business from coming into the City, but would make sure that the area they are coming into is clean and the proper restrictions are implemented. He stated he felt there was a need for this type of business and areas should be made available; he stated he did not particularly like conditional use permits, but sometimes it was the only answer, and he felt this was such a case. Councilman Hamilton agreed with Councilman McCaron that 30 days was too long for processing a conditional use permit if a man wanted to bring his business into the City; however. he felt that some of the yards were eyesores, and there should be some type of regulation and control. He asked the City Attorney whether there was any other way to have the existing yards cleaned up. possibly behind view-obscuring walls, etc. within the ordinance we presently have. Mr. Ftandrick stated one method would be the conditional use permit, as recommended by the Planning Cornmission; the second alternative available would be a set of develop- ment standards applicable to contractor's storage yards, with a specific time set for each condition. Councilman King commented that if a conditional use permit were not required, and a particular development wanted to encroach into another area that it was not suited for, and as long as it was properly zoned, there would be no control as far as keeping it out. Mr. Gordon agreed, stating that he felt one use which was a definite candidate for a condi- tional use permit was a contractor's yard. Discussion followed regarding advantages and/or disadvantages of contractor's yards within the City, insofar as appearance, revenue, etc. Councilman Hamilton stated he would be in favor of having the yards cleaned up. but by a method other than a conditional use permit. Councilman King felt the Planning Commission could handle the problem through conditional use permits; he did not feel the delay would be significant, and felt the areas would be enhanced; he also felt encroachment into other areas could be controlled by this method- Councilman Blewett stated he concurred with the staff's recomnendation for approval.

Proper postings and mailings had been accomplished. There were no written protests. Acting City Manager Balkus stated this request for a floating holiday had emanated from the meet and confer sessions, and this action would confirm the Memorandum of Agreement effective July 1, 1971 between the City Manager and the President of the City Employees Associa- tion. Mrs. Balkus stated this amendment had been considered by the Personnel Board at their meeting on September 30, 1971» and the Board recommended approval. TESTIMONY WAS GIVEN BY: Mark Reid, representative of the California League of City Employees Associations CLOCEA)» stated he was speaking on behalf of the Employees Association. He stated that this request had been approved by the City Manager in the Memorandum of Agreement, and had been placed before the Personnel Board for a hearing, as required. He requested Council's favorable considera- tion of the amendment. Mayor Gregory questioned Mr. Reid as to whether it was intended that this holiday be granted to probationary employees also. He stated this had been discussed at length with the Personnel Board, and it was the feeling that this should apply to all miscellaneous employees, probationary included. In answer to Mayor Gregory's question, Mr. Reid stated that the Police Department personnel were not included in this request, in that this particular item was negotiated as part of the due process of the formal meet and confer sessions on the basis of the recognized unit in existence at that time. He stated that the Memorandum of Agreement indicated that this benefit be granted to a11 permanent employees of the City except the City Manager and public safety employees. Discussion followed regarding whether the holiday should be specified as a birthday holiday, in that there might be tines when an employee could not be permitted time off on hts birthday.

Discussion followed regarding how many employees might be eligible for time off at this point, since the ruling would be retroactive to July 1. City Attorney Flandrick commented that subparagraph b) of the Rule indicated that no vacation leave would be taken without approval of the department head, which would provide control in the event a problem arose insofar as too many people requesting the same date. Mr. Reid stated this had also been discussed at length, and stated that it had been agreed that those people whose birthdays had already passed would work in conjunction with their supervisors to select a date that would be mutually acceptable. James Q. Gibson, 13268 Francisquito, asked for clarification JAMES Q. GIBSON as to why the Police Department was deleted from this arrange- 13268 FRANCISQUITO ment. City Attorney Flandrick explained that Mr. Reid was representing the miscellaneous employees of the City. and not the public safety employees. He stated that the Memorandum of Agreement referred to was a written document entered into by the City Manager and the President of the Employees Associa- tion and. thereafter, approved by the Council; the Police Association did not have such a Memorandum of Agreement. Mr. Flandrick further pointed out that Council had the alterna- tive to make the benefit applicable to a11 employees of the City, or to exclude the public safety employees. Mr. Gibson stated that, as a citizen, he felt the police personnel were entitled to this holiday if it were granted to the miscellaneous employees. Mr. Reid clarified for Mr. Gibson the reason the police personnel had not been included in the request. He stated the Police Department did represent themselves in the format meet and confer sessions, requested certain items for themselves, and were granted benefits which did not extend to the miscellaneous employees. He explained that the process of meeting and conferring is actually negotiating for salaries and benefits and other terms and conditions of employment and, therefore, these are benefits which were negotiated by the miscellaneous employees specifically for their unit. He stated to grant them City-wide would be unfair to the employees who gave up other things within the package they were negotiating in order to get this particular benefit. The Police Department negotiated a particular package, of which they received a parti- cular portion, and the same applied to the miscellaneous employees. He stated that for the protection of the process of meeting and conferring, he would request that the matter be handled in accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement. Sgt. Del Aldrich, Secretary-Treasurer of the Police Associa- SGT. DEL ALDRICH tion, stated that the information he received from their SECRETARY-TREASURER negotiating committee was that they were to be Included in POLICE ASSOCIATION this benefit and it was part of the agreement that was made. Councilman King stated he had been under the impression this was to be a blanket benefit for a11 employees.

Atdrich requested that Council postpone action on the matter, in that the Police Association representative who was involved in the negotiations was not present this evening, and he would like the Association to have an opportunity to clarify the matter. Mayor Gregory stated that she had been under the impression that the birthday holiday had been negotiated by the miscellaneous employees in lieu of other benefits which the police employees were to receive. Ralph Middteton, 13122 E. Corak Street, stated that if probationary employees were to receive this benefit, he could see no reason why the Police Department should not also receive it. He stated it appeared that City govern- ment was trying to match industry, and if you were going to be fair, each person should receive the same benefits, regardless of what position he holds. He felt that if anyone deserved an extra holiday, it was the police. Councilman McCaron stated that the matter would have to be researched to determine the outcome of the negotiations between the Associations and the City Manager, and the City Manager's recommendations, and Council's action adjusted accordingly. Councilman Btewett pointed out that if the resolution were adopted this evening and then an amendment was desired, it would require another hearing before the Personnel Board, City Attorney Flandrick stated this was correct. Councilman Blewett stated it appeared the best course of action would be to continue the hearing until the matter is clarified by Mrs. Balkus. Mayor Gregory stated the public hearing on a proposed amend- ment to the Personnel Rules and Regulations to provide for a floating holiday would be continued to November 17, 1971. There were no objections. 00- Under Oral Conmuni cations, Mrs. Roger Mannix. 4855 La Sena, stated they had a 20x20 building which had been built to Code in 1965 for storage and a workshop. They now desired to convert it to living quarters for her mother, who is on a fixed income and cannot afford apartment rent. She stated they had obtained a price from a builder, then checked with the City to find out what would be required to bring it up to Code, such as extra windows, heating, etc. The builder told her it would take two weeks, and her mother gave notice at the apartment where she presently lived. When the builder applied for a permit, he was advised a zone variance would be needed. Mrs. Mannix investigated and found this would cost $125 and the process would take about six weeks. Since her mother had given notice, Mrs. Mannix wondered whether there was any way to obtain the variance sooner so that they could proceed with the building. Planning Director Gordon stated that when a building not used for dwelling purposes was converted to one to be used as a dwelling, it came under different setback requirements, and must be 20 feet from the rear yard and 5 feet from the side yard. Since the building was 12 feet from the rear yard, Mr. Gordon explained that the Code specifically states that Continued) RALPH MIDDLETON 13122 E. CORAK ST PUBLIC HEARING CONT. TO 11/17/71 MRS.

In answer to Mayor Gregory's question, Mrs. Manm'x stated her application for the variance had been sub- mitted on November 1. Mr. Gordon explained that one delay was because of the required newspaper advertising, and the mailings that were required a certain length of time prior to the hearing. Mr. Gordon stated that the earliest possible date that a hearing on Mrs. Mannix's application could be legally held would be November 23. Mrs. Manm'x thanked the Council for their consideration. 00- Under Oral Communications, Mr. John Kunz. representing the Baldwin Park Improvement Association, requested to address the Council concerning charges made by the City for reproducing copies of documents. Mr. Kunz stated that Councilman Btewett had been charged $75 for 150 copies, or 50 cents per copy, for copies of recall petitions- Mr. Kunz stated he was an accountant by profession, and had prepared an analysis of Baldwin Park's reproduction costs and charges. He distributed copies of cost sheets to the Council, attached to which were copies of invoices from Xerox Corporation. Mr. Kunz reviewed the basic costs, paper, electricity, toner, labor, etc. He concluded that the total raw cost would be 7.8 cents per copy. or $11.70 for 150 copies; he stated this would indicate Councilman Btewett had been overcharged a net amount of $63.30. or an 85% markup, which he felt was exorbitant. Mr. Kunz reviewed charges made by surrounding cities, stating that El Monte, Burbank and Azusa charged 25 cents per copy. and the Baldwin Park Library charged 15 cents per copy. Mr. Kunz, on behalf of the Association, requested that the Council investigate the history of the 50 cent charge. with the possibility of reducing it to a reasonable level. and if it were reduced, that Councilman Blewett be refunded the amount of the difference. Councilman King pointed out that the 50-cent fee had been charged for some time, and although the Council could certainty consider possibly reducing the charge, a refund could not be made to one individual in that it would be impossible to refund to a11 those who had been charged this amount in the past. Mr. Kunz further stated that the Police Department charged $1.00 for duplication of accident reports, and he felt this charge could be looked into also, as it could become exorbitant in the case of reproduction of voluninous documents for insurance purposes, etc- Mayor Gregory directed the City Clerk to research the matter and report to the Council at the next meeting.

He stated that Councilman Blewett's request was unusual because of the quantity. He felt that considera- tion should be given in the study as to whether the 50-cent charge was, indeed, sufficient, considering time, labor. etc. Councilman Blewett agreed that 150 copies was an unusually large number to request; however, these documents were ones that could not be borrowed from the City Halt to be repro- duced elsewhere at a lesser cost. He stated he was not concerned with a refund, but with the impression people might have of the City's service to the public. Councilman McCaron pointed out that the provision probably had been made on a per copy basis, and not on such a large number. Councilman Blewett questioned by what authority the rate had been set for the copies. He felt a policy should be set at the Council level for other people who might need this service. Mayor Gregory stated this would be considered when the City Clerk presented her report. Mrs. Amos Slater, 4814 Stancroft Street, stated she had spoken to most department heads, and had not been able to locate an ordinance which sets any price for this service. She stated it appeared to have been set at an adninistrative level, and that anyone could set whatever price they wanted on anything. Mrs. Slater stated she had obtained copies of Minutes at no charge, and she felt no Councilman should be charged an 85% markup for reproduction of documents. Councilman King commented that a Councilman would be no different from any other citizen in this type of situation; however, the cost might be excessive and he felt it needed investigation. 00- City Attorney Flandrick read by title: ORDINANCE NO. 612 AMENDING SECTION 3355 OF THE BALDWIN PARK MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO FOOD VENDORS Chief of Police Adams stated his Department had received complaints from various schools during the last school year and again this year about the vendors in the school areas, and had been asked whether action could be taken to prevent this type of activity.

City Attorney Flandrick stated the request would be con- sidered by the Council at the time the City Clerk reported on the certification of the petitions. 00- Councitman King stated that with the federal funds that are being allocated for open space projects, he would like to resubmit to the Planning Commission for study the rights-of- way on Ramona Boulevard and the R-3 zoned property on those rights-of-way, to be studied more thoroughly for federal subsidy to see whether this area could be utilized for the betterment of the community as open space, rather than high- density residential development. He stated that in view of the information contained in recent reports from HUD, he felt the Commission and the staff should again take this under consideration to perhaps reassess previous findings as to the particular development of this area. He felt that in a long range program, open space would be better and more compatible to the surrounding area than high-density development. Councilman King asked that the staff investigate federal funds available, study the area, and report their findings to the Council. Discussion followed regarding the zoning on Ramona Boulevard. Mayor Gregory directed Planning Director Gordon to proceed as suggested by Councilman King, in investigating the possibilities for open space projects and report back to the Council. 00- ORD.

Mr. Ftandrick stated it was, and that conditions a) and b) relating to street improvements and grading plans were automatically covered by the Code; condition c) was covered by the Precise Plan Ordinance. The one thing the Precise Plan does not cover is the use of the property; it could be used for any retail store permitted in the C-1 Zone- As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak either in behalf of or in opposition to Z-350, Mayor Gregory declared the public hearing closed. Councilman King stated it would appear that this would be a good conmerciat property which would bring some sales tax into the City. He stated he would like to see the related portion of the alley way restored to the point indicated on the map, at the curb. to provide better ingress and egress to the facility. COUNCILMAN BLEWETT MOVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE THE ZONE CHANGE FROM R-3 TO C-1 AT 1026 LEORITA STREET Z-350) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RENDERING AND AMENDED PLOT PLAN SHOWING A 50-FT.

AND THAT SECOND READING ON THE ORDINANCE BE WITHHELD UNTIL A PRECISE PLAN HAS EITHER BEEN APPROVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OR SUBMITTED TO THE COUNCIL FOR PUBLIC HEARING IF NOT APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION. COUNCILMAN KING SECONDED. There were no objections. The motion carried and was so ordered. Councilman King asked for Council's feelings regarding restoration of the alleyway, stating that he felt it would enhance this particular development. City Engineer French stated it would be a simple matter to put the alley approach back in. He stated it had been taken out because it was part of the park, and there was a maintenance problem. He stated he had signed a tetter for Mr. Eiko stating that the City recognized the alley and that it was to the City's advantage at the time the park was developed to remove part of the alley, knowing that if future development was necessary, the alley could be restored. Councilman McCaron felt City funds should not be used, and if a developer wants it the use of the area should be made available, but the developer should pay for the repaying. Councilman King disagreed, since the alley had not been deleted by Council action. Councilman Btewett felt it was up to the owner to assess the value of the alley to him, and if he felt it was worth it, he should be responsible for putting it in. He did not feel City funds should be used. Councilman King reiterated his position, and felt it was the City's responsibility to replace that portion of alleyway. City Engineer French clarified that the alley was removed as part of Council action, but had never been vacated. He stated it was removed in conjunction with the park develop- ment, and was done as part of the agreement between the City and the Division of Highways.
