There were no written protests. Director of Public Works Lathrop stated that the staff of the Public Works Department had prepared the Environ- mental Impact Report to be considered for a street maintenance facility to be constructed on property known as the former Littlejohn Dairy property. Copies have been made available to City Council, a11 utilities in' the area, and all interested parties. He listed all the features that would have any impact upon the environ- ment that are covered by the Report and said the traffic volume would increase 2.%\ the noise level to be expected from the heavy equipment to be used was likened to a garbage disposal or food grinder. Every effort would be made during construction of the facility to minimize the dust raised and the construction noise. The Los Angeles Air Pollution Control District forwarded air quality data from Station No. 60 to be included in the final E.I.R., sayinq that care must be made when installing a public gasoline facility that u complies with Rule 65 of Rules and Regulations of South- ern California A.C.P.D. These requirements will be implemented in the final design and construction of the facility. Letters from the fire marshall and Baldwin Park Unified School District expressed that they foresaw no problem with the building of the facility nor adverse impact on the environment. Robert Sherman, 4509 Hornbrook, said the back part of his property would face the west section of the development. He understood that a road would be constructed parallel with his fence and back lot lines and was concerned with how far away from his fences the road would be. He asked how far the wall that is going to be put up to beautify the property will run, how high it will be, and whether it wilt be maintained. Mr. Lathrop said that tne proposed wall would extend from the end of the existing block wall up to the City Yard site and also adjacent to the City Yard Site, separating the City Yard from the residential properties. The wait would be a. minimum 6* in height, constructed on the City property or the street right-of-way line. The proposed street would have the east curb' constructed approximately 4' off of property line, 38" wide between curbs, and it is being proposed that there be no parking on the east side of the street and possibly no parking on the left side of the street. There wilt be adequate employee and equipment parking on the Yard site. The busy activities will be kept as far away as possible from the residential properties. Hours of operation will be from 6:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Mr. Sherman was concerned with whether the street would be fenced or set up so that citizens there would have protection from motorcycles and hotrodders riding up and down behind their residences.

If It becomes a public nuisance the police will respond. Henry Little John, 4225 N. Jerry, owner of the property, explained the street had been dedicated so that the neighbors there would have the protection of having it patrolled and taken care of by the City forces. Another purpose of putting the street there is to get any kind of development that will go on the rest of'that property further away from the neighbors' back doors. As there was no further testimony in behalf or opposition to the E.I.R. City Maintenance Yard Facility, Mayor Hamilton declared the Public Hearing closed. CITY COUNCIL ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE E.I.R. HAS BEEN PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE AND CITY REGULATIONS; ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE E.I.R. IS COMPLETE: STATED THAT THEY HAVE REVIEWED THE CONTENTS OF THE REPORT AND CONSIDERED ALL PUBLIC INPUT AND THAT ANY ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT CREATED BY THE PROJECT HAS BEEN CONSIDERED AND OVERRULED.

IS COMPLETE; REVIEWED CONTENTS OF REPORT;CONSIDERED ALL PUBLIC INPUT; AND OVERRULED ANY ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT CREATED BY PROJECT Assistant City Attorney White asked Director of Public Works Lathrop to clarify whether he had said there were any minor adverse environmental impacts. Mr. Lathrop said that the minor adverse impacts in the opinion of the Staff would be introduction of additional traffic on the street, minimum amounts of noise and dust during construction and additional traffic noise on the street and in the Yard due to heavy equipment. The mitigating reasons for overruling these adverse effects would be that the completed facility will complement the community and neighborhood, whereas it'is now an attractive nuisance with disposal of rubbish on the property; it will provide the community with a desperately needed facility for street mainten- ance operations which is considered preferable to a mof^e intense type of development on the site. The motion was restated as follows: CITY COUNCIL ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE E.I.R. HAS BEEN PREPARED IN fiCCORDANCE WITH STATE AND CITY REGULATIONS; ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE E.I.R.

Applicant: Larry Koopmans; Appealed by Laurence Frank. Publications, postings and mailings had been accomplished. There were no written protests on this Hearing- Director of Planning Kilgour reviewed the staff report in the agenda packet, referring to a Minor Variance hearing held December 10, 1975 which the applicant, Larry Koopmans, owner of the two vacant lots at 4222 and 4228 Bogart, and Mrs. Frank, owner of the adjacent property at 4214 Boqart Avenue attended, and to the minutes of the meeting as well as a letter indicating the decision of the Planning Director. He also reviewed the packet further relating to the appeal filed on December 24 by Mr. Laurence Frank to the decision of the Planning Director. The Staff's findings were that the minor variance to decrease one side yard by 12 inches at 4222/28 Bogart wi11 allow a proper develop- ment without causing detrimental effects to the neighbor- hood. They recommended that the appeal be denied and that the property be developed as shown on the plot plan approved by Minor Variance Case MV-40-B. Larry Koopmans, owner of the two vacant lots at 4222 and 4228 Bogart, stated that the housing he proposes should add additional valuation to Baldwin Park and will employ local people in the project. He said the lots were a weed abatement and clean up problem. They are located in an R-3 area» but the neighborhood is still a basic single dwelling area so they are trying to design some- thing to conform to the single dwelling house. He said the reason the minor variance is needed is because of the driveway turning area radius. He felt that it would be jeopardizing a nice-looking project if the minor variance granting an extra 12 Inches was not approved. Councilman King asked, if Mr. Koopmans is stressing campers, etc. 1n the back yard, why not one lot instead of two? He asked if the intent was to sell fbe property as two lots. Mr. Koopmans answered that he would like to sell them separately. He thinks two separate families will be living there or a family could buy and later rent the smaller unit or have a family member there. Councilman McCaron asked if Mr. Koopmans wanted a reciprocal access agreement if he had two owners on the property. Mr. Koopmans replied that with the 8' easements, it would be possible to get through with a camper if the parcels were sold separately.

He said 5" is the minimum; OPPOSITION OF MINOR most cities have 7'. He felt there was a purpose for VARIANCE CASE MV-40-B the 5' between living quarters probably for health and welfare, fire protection and privacy. He has three 2-bedroom apartments for tenants south of the subject property and his garages are behind the front apartment and not obvious from the street. He noted that there was only one single residence on the street that has the garage in front. He asked with possibly four units, why eight garages? Mr. Frank said he had a 15' driveway, while Mr. Koopmans would have a 16' driveway. He felt that most campers are able to get through on a 14' driveway. He does not feet that having garages on the front of the street will upgrade Baldwin Park, from the standpoint that people wilt be working on their cars there and the noise will bother his tenants who have a patio glass door 7-1/2' from the property line. Mr. Frank said his wife was the one who suggested a 30" high masonary wall parallel to the street as an extension of the garage wall to the edge of the driveway to hidethe garages. He felt that the 5' high masonary wait suggested to be built at the south property tine along the entire length of the residential structure was a compromise they were willing to make, as he stated that in the study of physics it is known that I* of wall reduces noise by a factor of 4. His understanding of the meaning of the Code is that it includes either a dwelling or a garage, and not a residential structure as stated in the conditions for building the 5" wall, making it a half job. Building structures so close together, thus creating more danger of fire to his apartments, also concerned him. His interest is to maintain privacy and well being of his tenants so that they will want to stay there. He questioned the need for a 16' common driveway. Councilman McCaron felt that a mutual driveway would be necessary as 8* would not be sufficient to reach the interior lot without creating a problem between the individual owners. He said that most recreational vehicles are now 94" wide. He noted that the houses on both sides of the two lots have their backs turned to these lots and not next to someone's front door. He felt that the garages will not be visible from the street. A 14' driveway would be ample and leave room to back out. However, this joint use of a drive- way has caused problems in the past and this is why the City has required that deep lots remain under one ownership. Mr. Koopmans said the main problem is that 25' of turnihg radius is needed to get into the garage without infring- ing upon the neighbor's property. He pointed out that the garage would start 5' behind the neighbor's unit and that this would be better than to detach the garage and set it up against the property line. Councilman king asked the distance from the one bedroom unit to the East property line and how large the rear yard would be.

He clarified that it is required by ordinance that there be two covered parking spaces within a garage for each unit, thus the 4-car garage. Legal two-way access, according to the zoning ordinance, is required to be 16" wide. If someone had a camper too tall for the garage, they could legally drive it into the rear yard where a reciprocal easement is involved. Councilman Gregory stated that a community-type driveway usually causes problems between owners who are not always compatible. Mayor Hamilton stated an 8' driveway could cause a problem, especially if a fence were built. It is best to consolidate two lots under one ownership. Councilman King concurred and felt that R-3 should be examined as to the overall economic and social effect on the community. Councilman McCaron asked if the 25 space needed for backing up. was the minimum Director of Public Works Lathrop replied that the standard turn around radius was 25" but this City's Code is 24'. Councilman McCaron did not see the advantage of allowing the 4* setback' if there is a fence down the middle. If the 5' setback is retained, there is nothing adverse to the 24' turn around radius as it is still within the Code. He said that a 50' lot is 5' under width according to the require- ment for establishing a new lot now. But he said he would hate to discourage development over a 1' setback. Joint access to both lots is poor policy As there was no further testimony in behalf or opposition to the Appeal of Minor Variance MV-40-B, Mayor Hamilton declared the Public Hearing closed.

The qrant offer had been reviewed and it did not vary from the original program as outlined. AUTHORIZE CITY MANAGER TO ACCEPT GRANT OFFER FROM HUD ON HOUSING AND COMMUNITY BLOCK GRANT. M/S/C: MC CARON/KING. There were no objections. Councilman Greqory said that she had asked for a report on what it miqht cost the City to take over the Community Center and bring it up to Code. There was supposed to have been an inspection of the building and a recapping of what miqht be expected next. Mr. Mitchett said the report would be expedited and hopefully presented at the next meeting. He said it would be necessary to have a meeting with the Civic Center Corporation Board representatives to come to an understanding about many details. Mayor Hamilton said that the Corporation is st111 an active group. Many people have pledged; many have contributed; and last week the Treasurer had received $900.00 from pledaes coming in from people who had pledged and had waited to see if there was really going to be a Community Center. He said he understood there was about $5,000 in Dh-'Jocs yet to come in. Helen Gibson, 13268 E. Francisquito, asked if it wouldn't be right to have an estimate of the main- tenance costs, etc., before the purchase. Councilman King agreed^that this should have been the first step and should be done as quickly as possible. Tom Carpenter, 4346 Jerry, asked what type of funds these were as he thouaht the $118,000 was a loan guarantee which would be prohibited under HUD Grant Regulations as loans are prohibited to benefit private individuals or corporations and he had understood that it would be a non-Drofit organization run by the Boy's Club. City Manager Mitchelt answered that the City Attorney had advised that HUD has asked that the Corporation be maintained in an advisory capacity to the City, but the Community Center will be public property owned by the City. He assured Mr. Carpenter tnat the money was an outright arant and not a loan. 00- Director Public Works Lathrop gave a brief resume regarding the purchase agreement of the prooosed City Maintenance Yard Site on the former Litttejof-n Dairy property. He said the E.I.R. has been acted upon favorably and approval of the agreement would allow escrow to be opened on the purchase. City Council directed that this matter be earned over until the next meeting as they had not had an opportunity to review the agreement, hi^ m was reconsidered later on in the meeting.) C.M.

They have further requested, although not in the petition, that if the City Council does elect to change the location of the sidewalk that any street right of way located to the rear of the sidewalk would be vacated.

He said the two owners of the property abutting the walkway on the La Rica Avenue frontage have been contacted, asking them to submit a bid if they were interested in purchasing the property. Mrs. Doris Lounsbury, 4869 La Rica Avenue, submitted a bid of $50 for parcel B. The City has an easement over the property at 4860 Benham Avenue owned by James M.

He would rather it be given to 4869 just to keep the lot line straight and not risk the property not being taken care of.

He said there is an area in the south part of town and he thought there should be an area in the north part of town. Mayor Hamilton said that trucks can park legally south of the freeway on Baldwin Park Boulevard but vandalism and theft are so bad truckers won't park there. Parking became a hazard on Bogart Street because of parking on both sides of the street and was eliminated. Councilman McCaron suggested approaching the City of Irwindate requesting the use of the north side of Arrow Highway. There is about one mile there that would be patrolled by police. Councilman Gregory noted that some cities have properties that can give some security to truckers, recreational vehicles and additional cars and charge a fee for parking. She suggested referring the problem to the Planning Commission as she feels a11 people in Baldwin Park are very much affected by truckers parking on the truck routes. It was suggested that the Planning Director and Commission check with other cities to see what they are doing to encourage this type of zoning.
