CITY TREASURER CODLING, CITY CLERK BALKUS Absent: CHIEF OF POLICE ADAMS 00- Captain Hebert introduced Major Joel Peterson and Sgt. M. R. Espinosa, USMC, who presented a commendation for meritorious action while serving with the Marines in Vietnam to William Homsby, now a Baldwin Park police officer. The commendation, presented on behalf of the Comnandant of the Marine Corps and the Commanding General, Fleet Marine Force Pacific, cited Officer Hornsby's courageous action on January 6, 1970, by removing a burning container of gasoline from a supply tent. Although severely burned, he succeeded in extinguishing the fire. His courage and timely action in the face of great personal risk undoubtedly prevented a great loss which may have destroyed valuable records and equipment and caused serious injury to personnel. Mayor Gregory stated that Officer Homsby had enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1948. and had retired in 1970 after 22 years of service; he served during the Korean War and had served three tours in Vietnam; he received 14 ribbons, 2 of which were Bronze Stars, and the Purple Heart. She further commented that Officer Homsby had been elected Class President of the 19th graduating class at the Rio Hondo Acadeny, and had been acclaimed by the Police Science Coordinator at the Acadeny. The Mayor congratulated Officer Homsby, and stated, on behalf of the City Council, how pleased they were to have a man of his caliber in the employ of the City of Baldwin Park. 00- AWARD FOR MERITORIOUS SERVICE OFFICER WILLIAM HORNSBY Mike Scott, President of the Jaycees, presented the awards for winners in the Christmas lighting contest, as follows: Checks for $10 were awarded to the two first-place winners: Inspirational" Mr. and Mrs. Roy King Los Angeles Street AWARDS FOR CHRISTMAS LIGHTING CONTEST PRESENTED BY MIKE SCOTT.

Mayor Gregory stated that there were a number of persons in the audience who were interested in CP-171, which was Item 9 on the Agenda; therefore, if there were no objections, this item would be considered first. There were no objections, and Council proceeded with this case. It was the time and place fixed for a public hearing on Case No. CP-171, application for a Conditional Use Permit for an existing service station in accordance with Section 9651 of the Baldwin Park Zoning Code located at 13050 Ramona Boulevard; applicant: Douglas Oil Company; and related Traffic Committee Report. Proper publication, postings and mailings had been accomplished. Written protest in the form of a petition and signed by thirty 30) residents was presented by Mrs. Claire Middleton, The petition protested the conditions of approval and requested that a block wall be a requirement. Copy in official files.) Written protest in the form of a petition with 167 signatures was presented by Mr. Smirl. The petition protested the fence along the alley with 1 opening to be used for ingress only. Copy in official files.) Written protest in the form of a petition with 176 signatures was presented by Mr. Case. The petition protested a one way" alley. Copy in official files.) Planning Director Gordon reviewed his report on CP-171, an appeal on the recommendations of approval of the Planning Commission Resolution on Conditional Use Permit CP-171, which was approved by the Planning Commission several weeks ago; it concerns an existing Douglas Oil Service Station at 13050 Ramona Boulevard, on the south side of Ramona betaken Francisquito and Corak. The Planning Commission approved the C.U.P. with conditions; two of special interest are: 1) that the applicant install a 6-foot block wait along the entire rear lot line except at two 25-foot driveway openings one for the station and one for the car wash), and the wall shall step down to 36 inches within 20 feet of the drives for safety; and 2) that two driveways servicing the property shall be for ingress only. Barriers and signing shall be provided to prevent cars from exiting through the alley. This must be shown on the plot plan. These conditions were added because of a) testimony at the hearings; b) excessive and dangerous traffic in the alley; c) rubbish blows into other properties; and d) unsightly grounds. The gas station is unique in that it is not on a comer as most gas stations are; most of the customers enter and go by the cashier's office and then leave through the alley. The median on Ramona requires that alt westbound customers turn left on Corak and enter through the alley. He stated the Staff's recommendation was that 1) if the alley is to be made one way eastbound only) the requirement that the two driveways servicing the property shall be for ingress only should be deleted; and 2) if no change is to be made on the alley traffic flow, the Planning Commission's approval should remain as is. The station's operational problem is because of the substandard site; i.e., not on a comer; this is not the City's fault. Continued) PUBLIC HEARING CP-171 DOUGLAS OIL CO. PUBLICATION.

Smirl, 1845 Via Palomares, San Dimas, employee of Douglas Oil Company, stated he had appeared before the Planning Commission in behalf of the request for the Conditional Use Permit. He stated they were given, by the City, permission to build the service station on the interior lot, and as such were able to see an economic possibility of making this invest- ment pay for itself, because an alley was present and was usable. Since that time the divider has gone into the street in front of the station and now they are in serious danger of having their access to the rear greatly reduced. He stated that of the 23 conditions, the ones they were concerned about were those which would reduce their economic possibility of paying for the others and that to improve, a business must make a profit. They had taken the opportunity during the period between the two hearings to find out if they were alone in their itand and had circulated a petition among their customers, about 90% of whom seem to be Baldwin Park people. Mr. Smirl read the petition which they had presented to their customers indicating that the City had proposed that a fence be erected along the alley and that one opening shall be left through which customers may enter the station and that the City proposal provides that no one could exit the property through the rear opening. The petition further indicated that they felt such a ruling was an injustice to the patrons of the station and that the alley is public property; as such, a11 customers should have the right to use the alley for either entering or leaving the station as each customer so chooses. The petition asked for signatures if the customers concurred with the Oil company's stand. Mr. Smirl stated they had obtained 167 signatures. He presented the petition to the City Clerk. He stated he had been advised by experts that the plan that has been presented is dangerous in the sense that somebody is going to get hurt with the opening in the wait, and they did not want the liability of the whole thing, so they are dead set against it, and that is why they are appealing the requirement. He stated that 20 of the conditions are acceptable to them. They felt the chain link fences down the side of the property were not justified. The estimates on the costs so far are $5,600.00, and they felt that is rather a sizeable amount of money unless they are really going to accomplish something. Councilman King stated that in stuping the area he found that they do have a unique situation. However, the Council would be setting a precedent if they did not require standards that have been laid down for a number of years. He concurred with the recommendation of Mr. Gordon, that if a block wall was put in and if the block wall was graduated to the rear 20 feet and graduated down to 36 inches, this would allow for the safety hazard. He felt the alleyway should not be restricted east or west, but there should be a stop sign possibly on either end, and the wall could be graduated. Mr- Smirl heartily concurred and stated he did not wish to give the impression that they did not want to improve the back; he felt there was the possibility that someone less than three feet ta11 could be walking behind the wall. Mr. King stated then that Mr. Smirt was not totally opposed to the wall. and Mr. Smirl stated that was correct; the additional cost for the block wall with two openings was not the issue; it's the limitation of the one-way opening into the station.

If you impose a condition wherein the property owner could not get access from the alley, the City may have to give him compensation for taking it away from him and it would be difficult to support no access in court. He stated that this was food for thought. Mr. Smirl stated he was not trying to argue the point. Council- man King pointed out that in the Planning Commission minutes, Mr. Smirl did reflect argument, in regard to the block wall, and he was going by that. Vemon Holmgren, 13070 Francisquito, stated he had been living in the general area for the last 6 or 7 years and he lives about one half block from this alley. The Douglas station had been closed for quite a period of time, and as a result of it being dosed there was quite a bit of debris, such as old tires, broken glass, etc. in the alley. After about a year, they reopened the station, and the debris is no longer in the alley; he stated he used the alley nightly, and since the station had reopened he found it much safer to travel. All the people in the area like the alley just the waiy it is now and he did not believe they would like to have it changed in any way, shape or form. Frederick Hail, 13145 Corak, stated he had signed a petition in favor of the block wall and he was still in favor of the block wall. He stated that Mr. Smirl or the Company should be no exception to the rules. Doris Carr, Big City Realty, 13028 E. Ramona, stated her business is adjacent to the alley, and she had been there for two years. As far as traffic in the alley is concerned she had found no problems; that when the station was vacant there was debris, writing on the walls, etc. She stated that she felt the children could break down the block wait, as well as a chain link fence. It creates a problem with the young people, and this would just be adding to the same problem. The one-way on the alley, would harm her business and also harm the businesses on the block in question. It would also harm a business right across the alley, in fact it would put them out of business. They use the alley coming in both ways, morning and night, and her customers use it; there has been no problem with traffic and no accidents to her knowledge, and she was testifying she is opposed to this. Mrs. Claire Middleton, 13122 Corak, stated that most of her argument had been presented to the Planning Commission but she presented a duplicate of the original petition, and stated they were stilt requesting a block wall. and they would not object to one entryw^y to the service station instead of closing it off completely. Nestor Mussly, 13022 Ramona Boulevard, stated he had had a business in Baldwin Park since 1960 and he was not concerned with the block wall, but with the one-way alley. A couple of years ago Ramona Boulevard was improved in front of his place and when the task was conpleted. he had one less entrance to his business. People traveling west could not enter his business; they had to go up to the comer and turn. The new proposal seems to cut off another entrance, because they want to make the alley a one-way alley. In two years, instead of having 4 entrances to his business, he would have two and he would stand isolated on an island, with a business and no access to it, and this is what was his main concern.

The first proposal was a new City Hall, which he agreed we were in dire need of; better police facilities, parks, etc. One of the other goals Mr. Mocalis mentioned was non-residential development as a means of broadeninq the City's tax base to relieve the burden on homeowners.... Mr. Mocalis was further quoted as saying that if this becomes a community goal, the City would be well advised to take a hard look at its zoning policies and explore rezoning to attract major developments; emphasis on street construction would shift. providing access to sites proposed for industry and commercial. Mr. Mussly stated the City proposed to rezone and to give access routes to new business, but on the other hand, was proposing to close off access routes to existing business. Ralph Middleton, 13122 Corak, stated that Mr. Smirl had mentioned RALPH MIDDLETON that about 90% of his traffic flows out of the rear of the 13122 CORAK station. He stated he personally was wholeheartedly, emphatically against a one-way alley, because he did not think this was the solution. He would recommend having a stop sign at the corner of the alley and Francisquito, on both sides of Corak, and the one at Earl. There should be a sign put up for no parking in the alley, because there is a condition in the alley that there is parking and loading and unloading of equipment and it is a hazard. But it would be selfish to take the business away from the business- men by making a one-wa^y alley, and it would also hurt the residents too. He stated he liked the alley the way it was but traffic should be slowed down and made to come to a stop before entering or crossing a street. Councilman Blewett asked Mr. Middleton whether he would object to the Oil Company being allowed ingress and egress into the alley, like all the other businesses. Mr. Middleton stated that it is remarkable to see the way the cars pick up speed by the time they leave the cashier's booth. He stated there had been no accidents reported to the police, but there had been a lot of near misses and dodges, and there is a lot of foot traffic. He stated he did not go along with the theory that 90% of the business was from Baldwin Park, because he did not feel it was. He felt it was an obligation on the part of the City Council to protect the businessman, but also they should protect residents, homeowners, taxpayers and everybody else. He stated the station and the car wash was one piece of property, and the wall would have to go clear across the car wash. He mentioned that the Codes had been in effect for some years, and there should not be any difference between one place and another. Councilman Blewett stated there was a service station of a similar type near the post office, with the exception that it is on a comer, and they have a 6-foot wall there, which has writing a11 over it, and he asked Mr. Middleton whether he was prepared to look at that type of thing. Mr. Middleton stated that if you ever lived next door to a gas station you would know what he was talking about. It was hard to explain to people what it is like. It took several years to get the barricade in there, and there was previous mention that his insurance company would no longer insure their fence. He stated fences are trivial as far as he was concerned, but the foot traffic in the alley and on Corak is tremendous, and one of these days somebody is going to get killed. He stated that before the gentleman opened the station and cleaned it up, there was a very serious accident in the station, where a child fell from a bicycle and cut his leg badly.

Mr. Middleton stated that he did not go along with that, because the station had been opened and closed too many times, so the part that economically, we're going to fail" doesn't hold up, because it closes up for a year, then it opens, then closes up again. He agreed that this station was pumping more gas now than it ever did. Councilman Blewett stated that Council wanted a workable compromise, which is what everyone else wanted. Mr. Middleton stated we are trying to get a safety factor going and trying to work out an equitable plan for Douglas Oil Company and the people involved in the area. We don't want to see anybody closed-up, and he went along with Councilman King's recommendation, that if Douglas Oil is witling to accept this, he didn't think there was any problem, and Mr. Smirl indicated he was willing to make the improvement so there should be no problem, if speeding can be controlled. Mrs. Carr asked Mr. Middleton whether the service station was in existence when they purchased their property, and he replied it was not. Bernard E. Downes, 13059 Francisquito, stated that regarding the 6-foot wall, he drove the alley every day one way or the other, as he lives off the adjacent alley, and as far as it becoming one-way, he cannot see this at all. He would agree to stop signs. He stated some concrete block walls around Baldwin Park are not very pretty. In fact, he would rather not see any wall than see the mess that is usually made of them. He commented that if he was driving 15 m.p.h. and a 5-foot child decided to bolt over the wa11 and landed in front of him, he would be unable to do anything. He felt a 3 or 4 foot fence might be all right, but not 6 feet. Councilman King stated that there were two openings recommended, 25 feet each, to the rear, so that would give a child 50 feet of opening. Mr. Downes stated you could not predict what a child would do, and there was no guarantee he would use the openings and not climb the middle of the wait. Mrs. Amos Slater, 4814 N. Stancroft, stated she had visited the Middletons several times, and one time a patron of the oil station had hit her car which was parked across the street from the Middletons'; she had arrived at the Middletons' on another evening when Mrs. Middteton's car had been damaged, and both incidents were hit and run. She felt there nust be some type of a solution, and stated she was present to substantiate the Middletons' comments. Roy Case, owner of Case's T.V. and Stereo Center, 13020 East Ramona, stated he had been robbed three times and had his service truck stolen three times this last year. Phillip Case, representing Case's T.V. and Stereo Center, 13020 East Ramona, presented a petition protesting the one-way alley, and signed by 19 business people in Baldwin Park, 19 people living on Corak Street, and 23 people living on Francisquito, between Frazier and Ramona Boulevard. The petition does not state they are against the block wait, but they are against a one-way alley. Councilman King reiterated there would have to be ingress and egress from the rear of the property. He felt the alley should be traversed from both directions and a stop sign on either end of the alley, and one easterly of Corak also.

To deviate from this would be setting a precedent in this case, and he felt that the block walls, for esthetic value, outweigh the chain link fences. Mr. Holmgren stated it had been mentioned that there should be a block wall adjacent to any private property, but there was no private property around the Douglas station. Councilman King stated it was adjacent to a residential area. Mayor Gregory stated that the buffer would be the alley itself, but the station does, in a way, abut a residential area. Mr. Frederick Hall stated that it was only feasible that there should be an ingress and an egress. He felt the real question was being evaded that was, the block wall, the one way street, and the entering and leaving the station, and that is what should be settled. Mr. Gordon stated he had conferred with the City Engineer, and since it appeared to be unanimous that no one wanted a one-way alley, if Council concurs they could so state and that would simplify any further discussion. The City Engineer was also in agreement that it might be desirable to put in stop signs on the alley. Councilman McCaron stated that at this time he felt we should try to find out why the alley is such an important thorough- fare. He felt there should be some stucly that perhaps this alley could be widened, so there would be access for the people that are using it, and from the pictures he had se'en, it appeared there was enough vacant ground to do this. He stated everyone had commented about how much traffic and how much foot traffic there was, and if so, a safety thoroughfare should be made out of it. Sybol Orr, 13083 Francisquito, stated that the people who live SYBOL ORR facing Francisquito and most of the people who live on Corak 13083 FRANCISQUITO use the alley as their only way out of the alley behind their houses; they have no driveways to their front. She stated that she and her husband traveled this alley both ways at least once a day, and most times twice a day. She stated that as far as the station was concerned, she could appreciate Mr. Middleton's or anyone's concern who lives near it, but their concern was the two-way alley. Councilman Hamilton felt Mr. Gordon's suggestion should be considered, and stated he concurred that it be left a two-way alley with stop signs on Earl, Corak and Francisquito, and posted speed limit signs of not more than 15 m.p.h. Councilman King asked whether Councilman Hamilton wanted to include no parking" in the alley also. Councilman Hamilton stated there was room to park in the alley, and no parking might work a hardship on the businesses along the alley. Councilman King felt the no parking signs should be mandatory, and that the property owners would not be too concerned with the no parking signs. Mayor Gregory asked what effect no parking" signs would have on the loading zones for the businesses. City Attorney Flandrick stated that according to the Vehicle Code there is a prohibition against parking in alleys, but this does not affect loading. Acting City Engineer Hale read Section 110 of the Vehicle Code.

COUNCILMAN HAMILTON SECONDED. There were no objections. The motion carried and was so ordered. ALLEY TO REMAIN 2-WAY; STOP SIGNS INST. AT CORAK, EARL & FRANCISQUITO; SPEED LIMIT SIGNS TO BE INSTALLED Councilman Blewett stated that if a 6-foot wall were put alongside the service station, there would be more accidents within the alley. He felt a more appropriate solution would be a brick planter or something raised up a certain number of feet that would not prevent an auto- mobile from being seen. He felt that even a 3 or 4-^oot wall would be better than a 6-foot wall, as the higher a wall is» the more chance there is for writing. Mr. Holmgren stated there had been cars parked illegally in front of a house across the street, and cars had to go into the station area to get around them, and if you put a block wall there, it would be virtually impossible to get around them. Jim Smirl, 1845 Via Palomares, San Dimas, stated he was associated with Leadership Construction Company, and some of the conditions of this C.U.P. begin to infringe in areas with which he would be concerned. He stated they had built residential areas, but they or their financial partners had built all of the industrial park building that had gone on in Baldwin Park recently. He stated he is frequently asked why they don't build apartments. He tells them that at the moment it is not the best thing for them to do, one of the reasons being that lenders are hesitant, because you get into situations tike this where you vacillate back and forth; the law is dear, but yet it is not interpreted the same for all people. He stated he would like to clarify something on conditional use permits for commercial zones, and heavier, wilt it be a requirement when they abut an alley to put a 6-foot wall in if this is passed. Councilman King stated this had been required for service stations because they are unique in their own use; shopping centers have been required to install walls where they abut residential areas. He stated the City is trying to upgrade, and we are not driving business away by requiring block walls, nor should we delete them from the Code and from those areas that would detract from or deter progress in Baldwin Park. In most areas, the Code has been upgraded not to deter development, but to enhance development by showing that we do have standards and they are being conformed to. Mr. Smirl stated he agreed when property abuts residential areas, but this service station does not abut a residential area, but abuts an alley, a public thoroughfare, and the cars are creating more noise and dust than the service station does. He did not see what would be accomplished by putting up a wall.

He stated that if the two properties were to be considered separately, the Planning Conmssion would probably have wanted a wall between the car wash and the gas station. Mr. Smirl stated he wanted to make it dear in his mind, that the purpose of this wall if it has the openings would be to shield the service station from the only adjacent property, which is Mr. Middleton's property. Councilman King stated that he would answer, as an indivi- dual, that yes, it was a shield, and whenever a block wait was provided it was to shield that particular usage from the residential area. Mr. Smirl asked whether there had ever been a service station in the middle of th6 block with an alley behind it that had this requirement imposed on it. Councilman King stated there were service stations on an alley with similar conditions where the alleyway could be used, although they may not have been in the middle of the block. Mr. Frederick Hail stated he did not feel this should be something personal with Mr. Middleton regarding the blotk wall; this was a condition set forth by the' Conditional Use Permit, and what has been laid down and set forth for others, the service station should abide by also. Mrs. Helen Gibson, 13268 Francisquito, stated that a stop sign should also be added at the alley that comes through from Athol to the alley. WITH THE CONCURRENCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL, THE MOTION TO ADD STOP SIGNS WAS AMENDED TO INCLUDE THE ALLEY OPENING THAT RUNS FROM ATHOL TO THE SUBJECT ALLEY. Councilman McCaron stated that, in view of a11 the items brought up this evening, and a11 the testimony, he felt it should be taken under consideration and the Planning Director come up with a recommendation. He stated it could possibly be taken into consideration that if access through the wall becomes a hazard, we might consider a setback for the wall for vision. COUNCILMAN MC CARON MOVED THAT THE HEARING ON CP-171 BE CONTINUED UNTIL JANUARY 19. 1972. The motion died for lack of a second. Discussion followed. Mayor Gregory asked whether there had been a traffic count and Mr. Gordon stated there were approximately 1,000 cars per day. Councilman King asked Mr. Gordon, from a safety standpoint, would the 20-foot graduation suffice as far as people being able to see oncoming traffic. Mr. Gordon replied they could to a certain extent. He reviewed four different proposals which had been considered by the Planning Commission. One was a planter, with bushes that might c;ome up a foot or two to screen off the appearance of the property from the back.

In answer to Councilman King's question, Mr. Gordon stated a 5-foot setback would give you more visibility, but safety was a matter of degree, and he felt that if it were set back 5 feet, more safety would be added; there would be more visibility and more turning room. Councilman Hamilton stated he did not agree with a 6-foot fence, graduated down. He stated he felt there were several questions that had not been answered, and he con- curred that the hearing should be continued. Another alternative recommended by the Planning Commission was a 3-foot high fence. Councilman Hamilton stated he did not agree with the expense of a planter abutting an alley, but he would be in agreement with a 3-foot fence, either chain link or block wait.

They would like something that you can see through a planter would be excellent, or a chain link fence, or a 3-foot fence graduated to 2 feet at the corners, but they don't want to be responsible for a child that might be hurt right at the edge of their property. As far as the side is concerned, the Planning Commission required a 3-foot extension of chain link fence down the side with redwood slats, and they would go along with that. Councilman Hamilton suggested considering Mr. SmirTs suggestion of a 3-foot block wall graduated down to 2 feet. As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak either in behalf of or in opposition to CP-171, Mayor Gregory declared the public hearing closed. Continued) INCLUDE 6-FT.

Mayor Gregory stated it was her understanding that the two driveways would be on the service station property. Mr. Gordon stated there was to be a driveway at each end of the property. Councilman Hamilton stated he could see no objection to going along with where Mr. Smirl wanted to put the driveway. It would make it more convenient for the usage of that property. Councilman King stated that since Mr. Smirl was considering selling the car wash property, he would suggest making the chain link fence from Ramona Boulevard adjacent to the property tine. southerly to the alley.

Continued from April 7 and October 6, 1971) Proper publication and postings had been accomplished. Planning Director Gordon stated that opposition had been expressed at the meeting in April, both written and oral. The people were concerned as to what projects might be undertaken, and at that time tfie City had no definite plans or ideas. The Council formed a CRA Study Committee, with each Councilman appointing three members, who were to report back to the Council as to whether CRA was feasible for the City. After several meetings, the CRA Study Committee recommended to the Council that a Business Reconnaissance Study be undertaken, which would outline the best approach for Baldwin Park to increase C and M development; the Planning Commission made a similar recommendation. On October 20, 1971, the City Council concurred with the recommendation and instructed the Planning Director to prepare a design for a Reconnaissance Study. The Planning Commission, on November 23, 1971, approved the study design and recommended that the City Council approve the design and allot funds for the study. Mr. Gordon stated that the staff's recommendation was that the City Council instruct the staff to solicit proposals for the study, and come up with recommendations for funding. Councilman McCaron felt that at this time Ordinance No. 584 should be dropped. He stated a new ordinance should be drawn up outlining specific areas and boundaries and requiring public hearings, with concurrence of a majority of the property owners and a 4/5 vote of the Council; if it is still opposed after public hearings, it could be put on the ballot in April. Councilman King concurred with Councilman McCaron. Councilman McCaron further stated that the prime objective was to develop commercially, and whenever a project is proposed, all conditions of the program should be planned completely; in order to have a complete program, the preliminary work could be handled jointly with the Chamber of Commerce. City Manager Mocalis agreed with Councilman McCaron; he concurred with the staff's recommendation, and suggested that Council authorize the securing of proposals for a Reconnaissance Study which would outline specific areas, and that the CRA Ordinance not be brought back until the Study is completed.

Mr. Hale stated that Mr. Heck had requested from the staff an approximate cost of demolishing the structures located on his properties. On January 4, 1972, Mr. Heck was unable to be reached, but his representative. Jay Angelo, was informed the approximate cost of demolition would be $1,800. TESTIMONY WAS GIVEN BY: Mr. Robert Heck. 740 W. Yale, Ontario, stated he did not feel the structures should be demolished; the property is for sale, and there is nothing wrong with the buildings except broken windows, and if they are not up to the present Code,, he did not feel it would be difficult to bring them into conformity. Acting City Engineer Hale commented that the Staff Reports indicate either rehabilitate or demolish.. He pointed out that Mr. Heck had requested the cost for demolishing the structures. Mr. Heck stated he would like time to try to sell the property, and that he was not in a position financially to demolish the buildings at this time. Councilman King asked Mr. Heck whether he would be willing to thoroughly clean up the premises, remove any broken glass, re-board and repaint the structures, so that the property will conform to some esthetic standards for Ramona Boulevard until such time as the property is sold; and, if the property becomes deteriorated again, would he be wilting to have the buildings demolished. City Attorney Flandrick indicated this would require modification of the Staff Reports to require that within a period of 30 days both buildings be made secure, and if not completed within 30 days, the City will demolish them. Mr. Heck stated this would be satisfactory. Discussion followed. City Attorney Flandrick stated that to accommodate Councilman King's suggestion, both Staff Reports would be modified prior to adoption of the Resolution to read: I) within 30 days the applicant shall secure and repaint all of the buildings; 2) if so secured, no occupancy shall be permitted until rehabilitation to conform to applicable Codes; or 3) if not so secured, demolish all buildings and structures." Mr. Heck agreed to these conditions. As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak either in behalf of or in opposition to 71-N-62 or 71-N-63, Mayor Gregory declared the public hearings dosed. Councilman McCaron suggested fencing in the buildings as a possible means of preventing vandalism. City Attorney Flandrick suggested that the securing be done in a manner reasonably acceptable to the City Manager; this way the staff will have a check on the manner of securing.

The motion carried and was so ordered. 00- It was the time and place fixed for a public hearing on Short Form Case Nos. 71-S-76, on the south side of Frazier Street between Kenmore Avenue and Monterey Avenue, for curb and gutter; 71-S-77, on the south side of Frazier Street between Kenmore Avenue and Merced Avenue, for curb and gutter; 71-S-78. on the northwest side of Frazier Street between Earl Avenue and Foster Avenue, for curb and gutter; and 71-S-79. on the northwest side of Frazier Street between Tracy Street and Emery Avenue, for curb and gutter. Proper postings and mailings had been accomplished. A written protest was received regarding Case No. 71-S-76 from Theota E. Aubel. 13620 Frazier, and L. R. Buckmaster, 13624 Frazier, protesting the cost as a hardship. Acting City Engineer Hale presented a map indicating the Frazier Street improvement area and the status of the curb and gutter improvements that are being accomplished. He stated the project was in the final phases, and when complete would result in a cleaner street, proper drainage, enhanced property values and safer traffic flow. TESTIMONY WAS GIVEN BY: Mr. L. R. Buckmaster, 13624 Frazier, was present to affirm his written protest. He stated his lot had 150' frontage. He stated he was totally disabled, and his income consisted solely of Social Security; the construction of curb and gutter would work a considerable hardship on him. He indicated that he would be in favor of improving all sides and have it go to bond for payment, but he was unable to pay for such a large area at the present time. In answer to Mr. Buckmaster's question, Mr. Hale indicated the cost per foot for curb and gutter was approximately $2.75. He pointed out, however, that in the event the cost was placed on Mr. Buckmaster's taxes, it probably would not be until 1973 or 1974. Also in response to Mr. Buckmaster's question, Mr. Hale indicated this was for curb and gutter only. and did not include drive approaches. Councilman King asked whether gas tax funds could be used to defray part of the cost under the Select Street System in this case, and Mr. Hale replied this would not apply to this case.

Mr. Hale pointed out that this particular property could not be split, and perhaps there was some way the City could assume partial responsibility for the cost over the average frontage of lots in the area, which is 50 to 60 feet, because of the unusual nature of Mr. Buckmaster's property. Councilman King stated he recalled similar situations where the City had tried to defray costs when there is an undue hardship on the individual because of an excessive amount of frontage while having the same type of usage as other properties in the area. Mr. Buckmaster indicated he was in favor of the improvements, but could see no way he would be able to pay for them. Mrs. Theola Aubel, 13620 Frazier. was also present to affirm her written protest. She stated she had the same situation as Mr. Buckmaster, as far as her property being on an angle. causing an unsually large frontage. She stated with the taxes being raised so tremendously this year, the cost would be a definite problem. She further stated they would be more willing to go along with the improvements if the whole street were included. Councilman King pointed out that most of the street was included in the upcoming cases. Councilman Hamilton clarified for Mrs. Aubel that the City had not raised the taxes this year, but had lowered them; the raise in taxes had been by the County. City Attorney Flandrick suggested continuing Case No. 71-S-76 to January 19, 1972 to allow the staff to consider possible alternatives and report back to the Council. There were no objections. As there was no one in the audience desiring to speak either in behalf of or in opposition to 71-S-77, 71-S-78 or 71-S-79, Mayor Gregory declared the public hearing closed.

It was also brought out that revenues from fines and forfeitures would repay the cost of the equipment, as well as part of the salary costs.

The Acting City Engineer had been instructed to solicit bids for repair of the roof. Three bids had been received for temporary roof repairs, which would last for possibly two winters; however, this would not be a final solution to the problem because the entire roof is in poor condition. Mr. Mocatis stated that the tow bid had been from Smith & Sons, in the amount of $2,850; $5,200 had been budgeted for a Charter election, which was an unlikely possibility this year, and he recommended that the bid from Smith & Sons be accepted and that the funds be allocated from the budgeted item for a Charter election. Discussion followed regarding structural condition of the roof and preventive measures which would be undertaken to keep the roof from cracking again in the same locations. COUNCILMAN MC CARON MOVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL CONCUR WITH THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE CITY MANAGER AND ACCEPT THE BID OF SMITH & SONS IN THE AMOUNT OF $2.850 FOR ROOF REPAIR.

Aldrich at previous Council meetings. He stated that approximately half the cost of the equipment was presently available, and it was his opinion that the remaining monies could be provided by the City by temporarily reducing some individual departmental programs for fiscal year 1972-73, and upon receipt of the money from grants, this money would be reallocated so that the reduced programs would be resumed and brought up-to-date. He recommended that the City Manager be authorized to purchase the equipment, to be delivered approximately July 1, 1972, and that the necessary funds therefor be included in the 1972-73 City budget. COUNCILMAN MC CARON MOVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL CONCUR WITH THE CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO PURCHASE THE DATA PROCESSING HARDWARE AND INCLUDE THE NECESSARY FUNDS THEREFOR IN THE 1972-73 BUDGET. COUNCILMAN HAMILTON SECONDED. Discussion followed regarding probability of receipt of funds from Federal grant applications. Mr. Mocatis stated that applications totalling more than a million dollars had been submitted, and based on what we had been fold by the representatives of the various agencies, it was almost 100% certain the City would receive more than enough to pay for the equipment.

The motion carried and was so ordered. 00- City Manager Mocalis read by title a resolution of the Independent Cities of Los Angeles County urging the Executive Committee and membership of the Southern California Association of Governments to adopt the position that membership in SCAG remain voluntary, that SCAG remain without direct taxing powers, that its financing be obtained by dues and grants, and that its governing board be composed of mayors, councitmen and county supervisors of its member cities and counties. He stated that SCAG was started by the individual cities in response to a state edict that if the cities comprising a regional area did not form their own associations, the state would mandate a program for them. There are proposals now before SCAG that membership be mandatory, that SCAG have taxing powers, and that its firancing be through direct taxing powers. The Independent Cities* is asking that the City Council instruct their delegate to Independent Cities on whether or not the Council supports the resolution. Mr. Mocalis recommended that the City Council support the resolution and instruct their delegate to cast an affirmative vote at the meeting on January 26, 1972. Discussion followed regarding voting procedure. Councilman King felt we should indicate strongly at each meeting that each and every city be given an equal vote.

COUNCILMAN KING SECONDED. There were no objections. The motion carried and was so ordered. 00- Planm'ng Director Gordon reviewed his report on clarification of ambiguity regarding whether a movie theater is a permitted use in the C-2 Zone with or without a conditional use permit. He stated that the Planning Commission recommended that theaters be allowed in the C-2 Zone without a conditional use permit. Councilman McCaron asked whether this would be the only clarification, or whether the Code would be clarified. City Attorney Flandrick stated this was being done as an interim measure, inasmuch as there were several existing clarifications that will be the subjects of a public hearing next month, and this would be included, if Council approves it. Mayor Gregory asked why there was not consideration as to the conditions from the outdoor theaters. Mr. Gordon stated the Planning Commission felt that for most new movie theaters the Precise Plan Control would be adequate. Councilman Hamilton felt conditional use permits should be required for theaters in C-2 zones, especially drive-in theaters, because of the lights, etc. He also understood there was a move under way to open an Adult" theater in the area. Councilman King pointed out that we would have no control over what went on inside an Adult" theater, even with a conditional use permit, and he felt we were adding just another restriction. As far as theaters are concerned, he felt sufficient restrictions to make them conform to any surrounding area could be written into the Code. With no control over the usage inside, the outside would come under the Precise Plan review, so he felt a conditional use permit was unnecessary.

Councilman King agreed* and withdrew his second to the motion. He requested that the staff make further study to have the restrictions written into the Code, rather than requiring conditional use permits in so many areas. COUNCILMAN BLEWETT SECONDED THE MOTION. James A. Garrow, 1011 N. Baldwin Park Boulevard, stated that at the next Planning Commission meeting, his theater property Edgewood Drive-In) would be considered for rezoning to C-2A, and he asked whether this would require him to apply for a conditional use permit. Councilman King pointed out that C-2A pertained to lot size requirements. Planning Director Gordon clarified that Mr. Garrow*s theater property was presently being considered for rezoning from R-1 and R-3 to C-2A; the regulations on C-2A are the same as for C-2. except for lot size requirements. He stated that since Mr. Garrow was presently operating under a variance granted by the County, he would assume the City would recognize this variance; however, should Mr. Garrow desire to make any major changes in the theater, he would have to apply for a conditional use permit.

He stated that the Planning Commission recommended that the City establish a policy of withholding second readings for not more than two years, after which the applicant must file a new zone change application.

This envelopment has not been made to conform in the past, or the property would have been cleaned up or demolished some time ago. He stated Council had to ta'<e all aspects into consideration, and he felt Mr. Smirl was taking into consideration only one, the economic standpoint. Council was also looking at it from an economic standpoint as far as the developer was concerned, but it also had to be looked at from an esthetic standpoint. Mr. Smirl stated that Case AZC-62 on the Agenda tonight indicated intent of the Planning Commission to amend the Code to add various permitted uses in the M-1 Zone with Conditional Use Permits, and he stated he assumed that jf this condition is going to be applied it will be applied equally to every business and not just a particular business, because this is where it involved him specifically, since he wondered whether it would affect the type of property he had. He understood that if was typical in this type of situation that eventually more than just service stations would be brought und^r Conditional Use Permit procedure in a C-Zone. Mr. Smirl further stated that a point appeared to have been overlooked that there were two separate, distinct pieces of property. The car wash had never been operated by Douglas under a business license with the service station, and it had never been shown in any way that the service station and the car wash are one thing; in fact, they are two, legal, separate properties. Service stations are under the Conditional Use Permit procedure; he did not realize that car washes were, especially when they are not even open and do not request a C.U.P. He asked how the Planning Commission could justify itself in extending this wall onto an adjacent piece of property that has nothing to do with the service station. If they sell the adjacent property, which is perfectly legal, this would reduce the station to only one driveway. City Attorney Flandrick stated there were four separate lots, two devoted to the service station and two devoted to the car wash, and it was his understanding that the application as filed related to all four lots. Planning Director Gordon stated the map was filed showing a11 four lots. He stated the Planning Comnission was originally interested in putting up a screening wall between the car wash and the gas station; when the applicant balked at that, the Planning Commission then swung the wall around to put it behind the auto wash. Mr. Smirl asked whether all four lots were deemed part of the service station. Mr. Flandrick stated that they were. as long as it was applied for in that fashion. Mr. Robert Smirl asked to see a copy of the application, as he did not think a11 four lots were included. Mr. Gordon showed him a copy of the application, and also stated that the application submitted by the applicant, Continued) TWO SEPARATE PIECES OF PROPERTY BIB] 37659-U01 1972-U02 01-U02 05-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9591-U03 FO9837-U03 DO9959-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/6/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06
