Proper postings and mailings had been accomplished. There were no written protests. Director of Public Works Perry stated that at the last Council meeting, he had been instructed to bring back a detailed report with respect to this public nuisance, and he reviewed his written report, which included a copy of the original inspection as set forth in a letter dated February 6. 1969 to Mr. and Mrs. Dunn.

Mr. Perry stated that an inspection had been made from the outside of the building in order to determine the conditions which must be met to bring the building up to commercial standards. The basic problem is that all exterior walls must be made one-hour fire walls, as well as other things noted on the Building Inspector's report. Mr. Perry stated that in accordance with the Municipal Code, and from prior and current inspections, this property should be declared a public nuisance. This is a residential struc* ture in a commercial zone and has been vacant for six months or longer, which renders it nonconforming; therefore, it must be conformed to corrmercial standards or demolished, at the option of the property owner. TESTIMONY WAS GIVEN BY: Mrs. Edith Dunn, 101 Palm Drive, Arcadia, stated they had discussed the matter with Mr. Levie, the Building Inspector who had written the letter of February 6, 1969. and the possible various uses that could be made of the structure. She stated that at that time they understood that if the home was to be rented for a business, certain things would have to be done to bring it up to Code. She stated if they were to try to bring it up to Code now, they would have no idea how to do it, and anything electrical that would have to be done would have to be torn out, especially if they fixed up the interior, because the electrical is all hidden. Mrs. Dunn stated that in Mr. Levie's letter he indicated that all electrical wiring must be in a metallic conduit system, She stated she understood a federal law was going to be approved shortly which would make their wiring adequate as is, because a conduit would no longer be required. She stated that the requirements pertaining to the water heater would no longer apply, because the heater had been removed. She further stated that Mr. Levie had agreed with them that it would be foolish to do all these things, and so nothing was done about it, and that they had made a mistake in not getting a letter from him to that effect and having the sign removed from the property. Mrs. Dunn commented on each requirement enumerated in the Senior Building Inspector's Report dated April 25, 1972, and her opinion was that the cost to correct most of these viola- tions would be prohibitive. Regarding the one-hour fire wall, she stated that the require- ments for C-2 were based on what is necessary in an uptown area where there would be hundreds or thousands of people who would have to have the protection of an hour to be able to escape the building. She stated that their building was 25 to 30 feet from the nearest neighbor on one side, and on the other sides there was no exposure, so she felt their build- ing was not in the class for the rules that apply. Mayor Blewett stated it was incumbent on the Council to deter- mine whether or not a public nuisance did, in fact, exist and in the event the property was declared a public nuisance, then Continued) May 3, 1972 Page 2 PERMISSION TO ENTER BUILDING REFUSED TESTIMONY EDITH DUNN 101 PALM DRIVE ARCADIA BIB] 37659-U01 1972-U02 05-U02 03-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9591-U03 FO9837-U03 DO9915-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/6/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1972 05 03 CC MIN(ÌìÕÕpeC005-134 Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council May 3, 1972 Page 3 Mrs. Dunn should confer with the staff regarding the violations, in that this was their function; the Council was only to determine whether or not a public nuisance exists. Mrs. Dunn stated that Council would base their decision on the report of the staff. Mayor Blewett indicated he had personally viewed the property, and his decision would also be based on that. Councilman King asked why Mrs. Dunn would not allow the staff to inspect the property. She stated it was a personal reason; that they had had things happen to them which were nightmarish, and they did not have full faith in these people. Mayor Blewett stated that Council had pictures of the property, and each one had undoubtedly looked at the property and he, personally, felt competent to make a decision on the matter. Councilman McCaron asked Mrs. Dunn what she would like to do with the property. Mrs. Dunn stated she would tike to rent it for any usage that comes under C-2. In answer to Councilman McCaron*s question, Mr. Perry stated the property could no longer be used for residential purposes because of the interim commercial use, which has some effect on the conditional use of the property, so it must be brought up to comnercial standards. PROPERTY CANNOT BE USED FOR RESIDENTIAL Mrs. Dunn stated that the zoning had been changed since the building was constructed, and this makes it nonconforming; therefore, it must be brought up to Code for uptown buildings, and the cost to do this would be prohibitive. Mrs. Dunn stated that the zone change had been made some years ago, at her request. Councilman Hamilton felt it would be almost impossible to rehabilitate the building for C"2 use, mainly because of the expense that would be involved to the property owner. Mrs. Dunn commented that this was their prerogative, and Mayor Blewett stated it was, and that was not what the Council would be taking action on this evening. Councilman Hamilton pointed out that the property was right at the approach to the City, and was an eyesore. Mrs. Dunn stated they had hoped to receive a good offer for the prop- erty, in which case the structure might have to be demolished and this was why they were reluctant to put the money into stucco and other improvements. She stated that the property could be used for a small real estate office, a beauty shop. or any number of things such as this, that would not require more than it would be worth. She stated that there were several buildings between Merced and theirs that had been stuccoed, and they were boarded up, so she did not feel the lack of stucco was why their house was not rented. Councilman McCaron suggested that possibly Mrs. Dunn could be required to improve the appearance of the property immediately, then be given a few months time to try to rent it, and come in for a permit to improve it for whatever use she wants to rent it, and if she does not do this, then the property should be cleared. He felt a definite time limit should be set, however, for her to comply, and he felt six months would be reasonable. Mayor Blewett reiterated that the recommendation of the staff was to rehabilitate to Code or demolish, and this was the owner's prerogative.

Councilman Gregory stated that Councilman McCaron's suggestion would mean Mrs. Dunn would be spending money to improve the appearance of the house possibly for only six months. She commented that the house had been vacant for four years, and she did not feel that painting it and allowing six more months would solve the problem. She did not feel it was usable, and in the event someone did wish to use it for a business, possibly months would elapse before it could be brought up to Code. She felt it should be brought up to Code now. and then offered for sale or lease, Joe Cale, 4453 Benham, stated he had viewed the property and felt it was an eyesore to the City. He felt the Council had been more than fair in allowing as much time as it already had, and saw no reason for it to be continued any longer. He felt Councilman McCaron's suggestion to permit a six months extension held no merit. Mr. Cale stated that, in his opinion, this property was definitely a public nuisance and had been held over too long. Forrest Belmont, 5036 Landis, stated this property might not look right to some people, but he believed a citizen had the right to keep their property in whatever way they wanted to; it is her property, and just because somebody doesn't like the way it looks, making her do something to the property that she does not want to do would be infringing on her rights. He felt it should not be declared a public nuisance merely because of the way it looks, as long as it is not hurting anyone physically. Councilman King explained that his judgment would not be based on what the property looks like, but on the staff's report. He explained to Mr. Belmont that the property had been vacant for some time. which caused it to fall into the category for inspection as to whether it meets the Code, and if it does not meet the standards of the C1ty» it is brought to the attention of the City Council. Not only esthetics are considered, but making this property, as well as other properties, conform to the Code is the consideration. Councilman King indicated there was no discrimination In this area, because all properties are treated equally and all must conform to the standards set forth in the Municipal Code. In answer to Mr. Belmont's question* Director of Public Works Perry stated this property primarily violated the Uniform Build- ing Code with respect to the one-hour fire resistant wall, plumbing, electrical, etc., and briefly explained the violations As there was no one else In the audience desiring to speak either In behalf of or in opposition to 72-N-14.

Proper postings and mailings had been accomplished. There were no written protests. Director of Public Works Perry presented photographs of the property. He reviewed the violations, stating that most were relatively minor and could probably be corrected without a great deal of expense, and the building could be, in his opinion, economically brought up to Code.

The Mayor invited them to come up after the meeting to ask any questions and to view the photographs presented, so they would have a better idea on what basis Council was making a decision. 00- It was the time and place fixed for a public hearing on AZC-61, amending the Zoning Code Section 9571 to add to the R-3 development standard for security separation between garages and other development standards. Initiated by the Planning Commission. Proper publication and postings had been accomplished. There were no written protests. Planning Director Gordon reviewed his report regarding AZC-61, stating that the purpose was to make standards clearer and easier to understand, delete unnecessary requirements, and modify parking requirements.

TESTIMONY WAS GIVEN BY: Forrest Belmont, 5036 Land-is, asked for clarification of well-designed" carports. Planning Director Gordon stated this was not defined in the Code; however, the Planning Commission conducted a tour of several apartment developments in other cities, with the idea of perhaps modifying our Code to allow carports, inasmuch as garages are presently required. They found some which had architectural features which to the average person would make them attractive and acceptable on the property; others were of very minimal standards and were unattractive. Mr. Gordon felt it would be difficult to define this in the Code and felt it would have to be a value judgment at the discretion of the Planning Commission. As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak either in behalf of or in opposition to AZC-61, Mayor Blewett declared the public hearing closed. Referring to Page 4 Section 3(b) of the proposed ordinance, Councilman McCaron asked whether there would be any exceptions to off-street parking in side yards adjacent to another lot, for instance, in the case of it being next to a single-family residence. Mr. Gordon stated that the way it is written, there are no exceptions. He stated that this could be controlled, however, in the precise plan procedure. Councilman McCaron felt that would be sufficient. Referring to Page 3 Section 2(b) regarding parking spaces, Councilman Hamilton pointed out that 2 spaces per dwelling unit were required. He stated he did not see the need for 2 spaces for a one-bedroom apartment. Discussion followed regarding present requirements, pro- posed requirements discussed at previous meetings, and specific cases, such as senior citizen apartment buildings. Mayor Blewett felt that, in the case of senior citizen housing, the parking space requirement could be reduced and the remainder used as open space for the people. Mr. Gordon pointed out that a special requirement might be desired in the case of senior citizen housing development. He further pointed out that in the case of one-bedroom developments catering to singles, there would be a high parking demand. City Attorney Flandrick pointed out that this particular paragraph did not set the number of off-street parking space requirements, but states that if two or more are located in a main building, security paration is required. Further discussion followed regardinq space requirements. Mayor Blewett's opinion was that the requirements should be l^a spaces per one-bedroom unit, 2 spaces per two-bedroom unit, and 2h per three-bedroom unit. He stated he felt some R-3 development should be encouraged in the City. Councilman Hamilton concurred, stating that perhaps our standards have been too restrictive, in that other cities are getting R-3 development, and our last one was around 1966.

Councilman King felt the proposed ordinance was adequate. He felt restrictions must be applied, and off-street parking must be given much consideration, because there was excessive on-street parking due to lack of space off the street. He concurred with the Planning Commission's recommendation and felt no necessity to hold the matter over for further study if it were to decrease parking space requirements. Councilman McCaron felt that experience had proved that two spaces were usually the normal requirement, in other cities as well as Baldwin Park. Regarding doors, he stated it had been concluded in past discussions that these were required for fire protection where garages were connected to living quarters; however, he felt the doors could be eliminated if there was some protection to the building Itself if there were no doors on the area where the parking was. In response to Councilman Hamilton's question, Mr. Gordon stated that most of the other cities in the area were close to the two-to-one ratio, and with the increasing number of campers and recreation vehicles, plus visitor parking, the additional quarter space was being demanded. He stated Baldwin Park was about average at the present time. Councilman Hamilton felt much of the on-street parking was because tenants did not wish to park in the parking lots and walk to their respective dwellings, and not because of inadequate off-street parking space. Discussion followed regarding special requirements for senior citizen developments. Mayor Blewett suggested that an ordinance might be drawn up encompassing requirements for senior citizen developments. Mr. Gordon felt this possibly should be under the variance procedure, and used as an example a developer who might build for senior citizens and after several years no longer wished to cater to senior citizens and because he had utilized his whole property, it would be impossible to add parking. City attorney Flandrick concurred with Mr. Gordon that the variance procedure was probably the best method. Discussion followed. Councilman Hamilton did not agree with the variance method- He felt other cities should be contacted to find out what their restrictions and requirements are. He felt the require- ments should be written into the ordinance. Mayor Blewett stated he would also tike to see a comparison with other cities. Mayor Blewett declared the public hearing reopened on AZC-61 There were no objections. PUBLIC HEARING REOPENED AZC-61 AZC-61 CONT. TO MAY 17, 1972 PLANNING DIRECTOR TO PRESENT REPORT Mayor Blewett stated that AZC-61 would be continued to May 17, 1972 and directed Planning Director Gordon to make a study to include parking requirements for all R-3 develop- ments in the whole San Gabriel Valley range to see where Baldwin Park stands comparatively. Councilman Hamilton requested that the study also include requirements for garage doors. There were no objections- 00- BIB] 37659-U01 1972-U02 05-U02 03-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9591-U03 FO9837-U03 DO9915-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/6/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1972 05 03 CC MIN(ÌìÕÕ peOC05<?30 Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council City Attorney Flandrick stated that Mr. Koch, who had requested to speak under Oral Communications, had withdrawn his request, in that the matter should be addressed to the Planning Comnission rather than the City Council. 00- Mr. Anthony Miate, who had requested to speak under Oral Communications, was not present. 00- Mrs. Martha Love» 3756 Willow, stated that a fire hydrant was located in the center of her front yard. She stated that the police had received a complaint that she was parking her car too close to the hydrant She stated that it was impossible to park fifteen feet away from the hydrant.

MARTHA LOVE 3756 WILLOW She stated she had talked to Captain Kirk, of the Fire Department, and since there is ample room to the right of the fire plug across from her driveway, he informed her that parking her car there did not alter their function at all. She stated that Captain Hebert's office had informed her they could see no reason why she could not use the space, but permission could be granted only on authority of the City Council. Discussion followed. Councilman McCaron suggested that the matter be investi- gated and a report be made to the Council. Mayor Blewett directed the Traffic Committee to make a study of the problem and present a report at the next meeting. 00- Mrs. Edith Dunn, 101 Palm Drive, Arcadia, stated she had been in several offices at City Hall this date and had found some things in the files that were untrue. She stated she had requested that Mr. Mocalis go through the files with her, in order to correct the public records. Mr. Mocatis stated he would be happy to do this at a mutually convenient time. Mrs. Dunn stated she also wished to obtain a verbatim tran- script of her testimony at the public hearing on April 19, 1972 and also this hearing. Mayor Blewett stated this could be obtained by making a request to the City Clerk and paying the appropriate charges. 00- Mr. T. E. Carpenter, 4346 Jerry Avenue, stated that the C.R.A. Study Conmittee had made a recommendation that a Reconnaissance Study be made for the City, and three firms had submitted bids to make this study. Referring to the Minutes of April 19, 1972, Mr. Carpenter stated the three consultants were to be interviewed on separate occasions and Mr. Gordon had suggested that because of the possible public interest in this, the meetings be held at the Park Building.

He stated that so much interest had been generated by the Community Redevelopment Agency that he felt the meetings should be scheduled so that everyone interested could attend, and he did not feel 5:00 p.m. would give them this opportunity. He felt the meeting time should be 7:30 and proper publicity should be circulated. Mayor Blewett explained that the meetings were to select a consultant for a study which was the outcome of a City program that had been established in the last two years to try to develop the community, and was in no way part of the C.R.A. ordinance. Mr. Carpenter felt that this was an offshoot of the C.R.A. Committee, and that the 13,000 voters of the community should be given an opportunity to be present at the meetings. He requested strongly that the meeting time be changed, and that the meetings be given proper publicity. 00- City Clerk Balkus read a comnunication from William A. Jablonski, 3756 Downing, requesting that the Council look into the City Ordinance concerning Signs and Displays to see if it could be improved upon, and citing as an example the Goodyear Store at 4315 N.

He pointed out that every day in Los Angeles County 700 tons of pollutants are emitted into the air by high sutfur fuel. which would be eliminated by the use of natural gas. Further, if the use of natural gas is curtailed and because the supply of tow sulfur fuel is tenuous, power plants in Los Angeles County will have to burn as much as 70 million barrels of high sutfur fuel oil yearly.

COUNCILMAN GREGORY SECONDED. In answer to Councilman McCaron's question, Mr. Mocatis stated that the El Paso Natural Gas Company had not given their reason for wishing to curtail the supply of natural gas. Mr. Mocalis stated this resolution would be the first step on the part of cities to put before the Federal Power Comnission the reasons why we feet they should not allow such curtailment. Discussion followed. Councilman McCaron felt the Council should have more information on the matter. Mr. Mocalis stated he would contact the El Paso Natural Gas Company to determine their reasons for the desired curtailment. However, he requested that if the Federal Power Comnission hearing was to be held prior to the next Council meeting on May 17. 1972. the adopted resolution be forwarded. If the hearing was after the Council meeting, action would be held off on the resolution until further information is presented to the Council.

Mr. Perry referred to a sketch which had been posted on the wall which indicated the results of the canvass. The sketch basically depicted 2-hour parking on the interior building side of the Ramona Boulevard parking lot. The majority of the businesses wanted unlimited parking both on the interior side and the street side of Ramona Boulevard. Exceptions were in the Morgan Park area, where no parking on the Ramona Boulevard frontage was desired and longer than 2-hour parking was desired in the other two areas. Mayor Blewett stated he had been contacted by a lady who owned a residence on Laurens Avenue and there is a two- hour parking limit in front of her house, Mr. Perry stated he would look into the matter, but it would not be connected with the Ramona business district parking restrictions presently under consideration. Councilman McCaron questioned the restriction in front of the Crocker Bank. Mr. Perry stated this was set at 2 hours. He stated the Bank had requested 2-hour parking both on the business side and on the interior parking lot, and if this was not possible, they requested four stalls on each side restricted to 20 minutes. Councilman Hamilton stated he had talked to the Bank Manager this date, and the Manager definitely would like a 20-minute time limit on four stalls on each side of the parking area in front of the bank. Councilman Hamilton felt his request should be honored. Mr. Perry stated that in the Morgan Park area, he would recommend unlimited parking on the Ramona Boulevard frontage to allow for consistency, and concur with Mr. Lucas* request for 6-hour parking on the Morgan Park frontage. Discussion followed regarding whether 6 hours would be sufficient parking time for some of the all-day type activities that are held at the park. Mr. Perry stated that Mr. Lucas' feeling was that unlimited parking would perhaps permit this area to be used as a parking lot" by those not using the park. In response to Councilman McCaron*s question, Mr. Perry stated that unlimited" parking would be subject to the overnight parking restrictions. Councilman McCaron suggested that this be kept under surveillance, and that possibly a report be made every 60 or 90 days to give Council an idea how the plan was working. Mr. Perry stated that usually the best report" would be the complaint basis. He recommended the plan be tried, and if any serious complaints were received, they would be brought back to the Council. RESOLUTION NO. 72-68 IMPOSING CERTAIN VEHICULAR TRAFFIC REGULATIONS Mr. Perry stated that the parking restrictions on Ramona Boulevard would be as shown on the sketch, and modified in the areas discussed, including the four stalls on each side in front of the Crocker Bank.

He reviewed the Zoning Enforcement Officer's report, concluding that it was a case of an illegal use In the C-2 zone, and stating that the matter was presently in the hands of the District Attorney's Office. 00- Planning Director Gordon stated that the Planning Commission and the Council, in the past. had discussed several times having a Business Reconnaissance Study to determine the best approach for the City to improve business in the City, especially to bring in additional revenue to offset the property tax base. It was generally agreed that the Study should be performed by an outside consultant, which would be a guide for the Commission and the Council on what approaches should be taken to solve the problems which exist. Mr. Gordon stated that both the Commission and the Council had requested to participate in the selection of a consultant; therefore, three tentative dates had been scheduled which were felt would be most convenient for all concerned. These dates are May 8, 9 and 10. 1972 at 5:00 p.m. Councilman Hamilton stated that Mr. Carpenter's objection to the hour of 5:00 p.m. be given consideration. It was generally agreed that the meetings be held at the Park Building. Discussion followed regarding advantages and disadvantages of different times suggested. Mr. Gordon pointed out that the three firms had confirmed their appoint- ments and if the time was to be changed, it possibly would be necessary to reschedule dates also. It was pointed out that these were not public hearinas, but mereTy sessions to hear the proposals of the three consultants being considered to make the Study. After further discussion, the consensus of the Council was that 5:00 p.m. would be the best time to hold the sessions. 00- Ptanning Director Gordon stated that several months ago the City Council adopted an urgency ordinance allowing the sale of new and used furniture and other goods in the M-1 Zone and instructed the Planning Commission to hold a hearing to determine whether the Code should be amended to permit such sales on a permanent basis. Following the Commission's hearing, they recommended no change in the present ordinance, which prohibits the sale of furniture, new and used. and appliances in the M-1 Zone.

Regarding Item 1), the Committee felt there was a hazard to the children attending Central School and recommended that stop signs be installed on Central Avenue at the intersection of Big Dalton. Regarding Item 2), a field investigation indicated that view-obscuring fences located on private property are the main causes for the potentially hazardous condition of the intersection. The Committee recommended that the property owners be requested to reduce the height of the view-obscuring fences to improve the safety of the inter- section. Regarding Item 3), since the curb fronting the shopping establishments is frequently utilized by delivery trucks and there is sufficient off-street parking for customers in the interior of the shopping center, the Committee recommended that the curb fronting the Baldwin Park Shopping and Service Center be marked with loading only" restrictions. Regarding Item 4), Mr. Perry stated that with the com- pletion of Ramona Boulevard it became necessary to try to formulate some type of standardized parking scheme for the area.
