CONCUR WITH RECOMMENDATIONS ON CONSENT CALENDAR. M/S/C: AGUILAR/WHITE. Roll Call. There were no objections. 00- Mayor Blewett suggested that Council discuss whether or not the new Council wished to have the Oath administered before receiving testimony and asked for an opinion from Acting City Attorney Flandrick. Mr. Flandrick said there were three alternatives: all witnesses could be sworn; only witnesses testifying on public hearings could be sworn; or to accept all testimony without the Oath. It was a matter for the discretion of Council. He confirmed that Council would have no control over a witness who had taken the Oath and given false testimony but that it might be a technical violation of the Penal Code; however, probably no complaint would be issued by the District Attorney's office. Councilman Aguilar inquired whether it would not be in the City's best interests to have witnesses sworn in who were giving testimony at a public hearing, in case the City had to go to court. Mr. Flandrick stated that some judges might feel it more appropriate while others would not and that he had never seen an issue made of it. He said he thought that the court would probably accept the Council's policy. Councilman Aguilar favored having sworn testimony. Councilman White said he agreed that the Oath should be administered in criminal trials but did not feel the Oath was appropriate in these circumstances. Councilman Aguilar stated that every person had the right to talk before the Council and that their taking the Oath did not prohibit that. Councilman White said that he felt that any impediment placed before people might discourage free communications with the Council. The Council could determine and evaluate their testimony. Councilman McNeilt stated that he felt the Oath was unnecessary here because the witness continued) March 15, 1978 Page 2 APPROVAL OF FINAL ACCEPTANCE OF PROJ. NO. 141 RES.

Council must investigate and determine whether testimony given wa? valid. He said it was antiquated to require that people be sworn in before talking before Council. Councilman Aguitar clarified that the Oath was given only before testifying on Public Hearings and not required for Oral Communications. Mayor Blewett said the policy had been in question for some time and that it was time to resolve it. Councilman Izell said he had no qualms about swearing in people from out of town who testify before the public hearings but that he did not want the citizens of Baldwin Park treated unduly. He stated he would prefer sworn statements but would not object if Council voted otherwise. Mayor Blewett said that he hoped that people who came before them would be truthful but did not feet the Oath was necessary. They would proceed with the Public Hearing and would not swear people giving testimony. 00- It was the time and place fixed for a public hearing on an Appeal on the conditions of approval of Parcel Map No. 950 for property located at 4619 North Laurens Avenue. Appellant: Dorothy M. Iford Proper publications and mailings had been accomplished. There were no written protests. Director of Planning Kilgour stated that Mrs. Iford had prepared a Parcel Map to divide her property and was appealing certain conditions of approval for the parcel map. She wished to divide the land without providing for complete public im- provements into two lots, pursuant to a sale in 1965. He referred to Exhibit A, the applicant's requested Parcel Map and Exhibit B, which delineated the effect of the conditions of approval dated January 17, 1978. He said that there had been an agreement in 1965 between two parties to divide the land and that they wished these conditions to be continued as represented in Exhibit A, but that this type of division would not be permitted now and that it was questionable whether it would have been permitted then. He referred to the standards set for lots shown on Exhibit A which had been divided by parcel map procedure in 1963 and said that the lots on Larry Street followed a we11 established pattern relative to size of lots and location of public improvements. He said the Staff was recommending that Larry Street be extended through the property and that three parcels be created, with the lot fronting on Laurens on Parcel 1 and Parcels 2 and 3 fronting on Larry Street and widening the alleyway to 20 feet to provide access to Larry Street. This would create public street access for Parcels 2 and 3, a necessary requireme^ t ior land divisi n and continued) PUBLIC HEARING APPEAL ON CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL OF PARCEL MAP NO. 950, 4619 N.

He stated that Staff recommended that the appeal be denied and the conditions be upheld so that Exhibit B would be the effective Parcel Map. He referred to an attached memo from the Acting City Engineer and read comments and conditions outlined in the report. Councilman Aguilar inquired whether the City had been involved in the sale of the lots in 1965 Mr. Kilgour said that the sale had been between private parties. Councilman White inquired the purpose for requiring the land to be given the City for the widening of the alley, Mr. Kilgour stated that each lot must have dedicated public access to divide land and that Larry Street presently did not have access to any other street. They were asking that the unimproved alley be widened to 20 feet and improved as a dedicated public accessway. Councilman White inquired whether Larry Street would come all the way through to the alley if the entire plan was followed, rather than only Parcel 3. Mr. Kilgour stated that Larry Street would come all the way through to the alley. Councilman White inquired whether the present stucco garage was going to stay. Mr. Kilgour stated that one of the conditions for approval was that the stucco garage would be removed and another similar one be built to accommodate the house on Parcel 2. This land would be dedicated for public street purposes and improved. Councilman Izell stated that Larry Street dead ends on both ends and that it created a bad situation. Mayor Blewett declared the public hearing open. Joseph C. Eischen, 1500 West Covina Parkway, stated that he was representing the purchaser of the property, Mr. Newman? and had filed the appeal on behalf of Mrs. I ford, the owner of the property. They had requested that the new Parcel 2 as set forth by the Planning Commission be revised from 80 ft. to 55 ft. He said he would request that it be changed to 65 ft. His clients were being asked to make access for alt the other parcels which hacf private easements and were able to get to their property. If this property was dedicated and their property improved, they would be providing an improvement for the City. They understood that the street must be put in and everything completed before they would get their lot split and this was not guaranteed. He stated that his clients wanted assurance that a variance and lot continued) PUBLIC HEARING OPEN JOSEPH EISCHEN, A" REPRESENTING MR. NEWMAN & MRS.

They basically agreed with the conditions but felt they should be deferred until his clients request a transfer of the property or a building permit and pay at that time. The special assessments should be delayed until the property is sold or built upon. Mayor Blewett inquired whether the property had already been sold. Mr. Eischen said he meant subsequently sold. The property could not be sold until the lot split is approved. They were asking that the conditions be met when his clients sold the property. He stated that if the lot split was approved, access would be made to nine or ten acres and the tax base for the City would be increased. He felt it would be more fair to approve the lot split first and require that the improvements be made. Councilman Aguilar asked what the normal procedure was for obtaining a lot split. Mr. Kilgour stated it was necessary to have a Parcel Map application before filing for a variance study and to bring before the Planning Commission. One of the conditions of approval was that a successful variance be granted by the Planning Commission and this could not be guaranteed. They look at whether the request is something comparable to the area and this may be a finding in their behalf in this case. Acting City Attorney Ftandrick asked for clarification on the request that improvements be constructed prior to Planning Commission action. Mr. Kitgour stated that there was no requirement to either complete the improvements or bond for the improvements until the variance was granted. There was a period of time allowed for this after the variance was granted and also within which the parcel map can run, probably eighteen months, with a possible extension granted. Mr. Flandrick confirmed that the lot split could be rejected and not finalized after a bond had been posted for the improvements if the variance was not approved by the Planning Commission. He recommended that the matter be left open in this manner so that if he did not get his zone variance he could withdraw his Parcel Map without having put in his improvements, Councilman White said that he would not then be able to sell his property. Mr. Eischen said he had not understood this procedure through the Planning Commission. He had requested in Mrs. Iford's appeal letter that a zone variance be granted at the same time the City Council approved the appeal on the Parcel Map, subject to conditions. Mayor Blewett said it could not be done this way. continued) BIB] 37656-U01 1978-U02 03-U02 15-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9591-U03 FO9594-U03 DO9671-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/4/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1978 03 15 CC MIN;¢f4ÈzRegular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council March 15, 1978 Page 6 Mr, Eischen said h° nor understood thcit. if they got these conditions, they must go back before the" Planning Commission to obtain a variance. Carroll A. McCortney, 140 West College, Covina, attorney for Dorothy Iford, referred to Condition No. 3 of the City's tetter to Dorothy Iford on January 17, that the proposed property tine dividing Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 must be moved 15 ft. easterly. He stated that the agreement between Mrs. Iford and Mr. Newman provided for 205 of the 300 ft., which would not amount to 220 ft. as required here. He said that this was a legal issue involved, with litigation pending, He asked what would be necessary for Council to approve a variance so that Parcel 1 would be permitted to contain 95 ft. rather than the 80 ft. that are recommended by the Director of Planning on the proposed Parcel Map. He stated that possibly the contract might have to be rewritten between the two parties unless the 15 ft. requirement could be waived. Councilman Aguitar stated that the Planning Commission must consider the variance first, with the Appeal coming before the City Council. Councilman white stated that what he was asking would be in direct conflict with an Ordinance. Mr. Kilgour said that by requesting that Parcel 2 be 65 ft. rather than 80 ft. deep, they would be requesting that the Planning Commission consider a 4290 sq. ft. lot and must ask for a variance for lot area since it would be less than 5000 ft. The procedure *as for the Planning Commission to give their answer, after which that decision could be appealed to the City Council at the same time the appeal of the Parcel Map was being considered, if the matter of the Parcel Map was continued. Councilman White referred to the 20-ft. rear yard requirement and said that would not be possible if the 15 ft. request was granted. Acting City Manager Sexton stated that the 20-ft. rear yard setback would not exist under either proposal. Mr. McCortney stated it was important that the variance and the approval of the Parcel Map both be considered at this time by the Council. CARROLL MC CORTNEY, ATTY.

He said if any one of the three were approved or disapproved, the decision of the Planning Commission on the zone variance could be appealed along with the appeal on the Parcel Map to the City Council. Mr. Kilgour stated that if the application was processed in timely fashion, it could be heard before the Planning Commission on April 12 and, if appealed, before the Council on May 3. Mr. Ftandrick said that the Council must then consent to withdrawing the matter tonight, with the attorneys combining to file an alternative request for a zone variance with three possible alternatives and perhaps appealing the action of the Planning Commission to the Council along with the appeal of the Parcel Map. The City Council and Attorney McCortney agreed to this procedure, with the deadline established for submittal of the application as March 29, 1978. Mr. Kitgour stated that if there was an appeal to the action of the Planning Commission relative to the zone variance, the matter may not be heard until May 17 because of the advertised public hearing schedule. He defined the procedure for an application for a zone variance. The form must be tilted out, the filing fee was $125.00, and there was a time schedule of advertising ten days before the public hearing; twelve sets of maps and the 300 ft. radius property owner's map with a list of the property owners were alt required along with the application.

CONTINUE PUBLIC HEARING TO 5/3/78 Councilman Izetl requested that Mr. Kilgour and the Planning Commission bring the Council something to work with, white they had the opportunity to clean up this area.

It had become a dangerous piece of property with complaints because of the open well. The City had confirmed the public nuisance and abated it by filling the well and cleaning off the debris at a cost of $1100 plus $165,00 for the administrative fee. He stated that it was doubtful whether the property would be redeemed and that the City wi11 probably own a 14 ft. x 23 ft. piece of property.

There were no written protests. Acting City Manager Sexton stated that only Condition No. 6 of the Parcel Map, the fire hydrant requirement, was being appealed. The fire hydrant had been required by the County Fire Department and Captain Roy Creel would act in Staff capacity to present the staff report. Captain Roy Creel, County Fire Department, stated that the proposed development at Parcel Map 941 created a lot that fronts on Downing Avenue, which presently has no fire protection water. The closest fire protection water was at Downing Avenue and Bleeker, 950 ft. from the property. The fire protection water standards that the County operate by require no more than 600 ft. from one hydrant to the next in residential areas. He said this meant that if an individual's property fronted the street, it should be no or? than 300 ft. from an existing fire hydront. continued) PUBLIC HEARING OPEN PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED RES.

Councilman IzeTl inquired whether there were water mains where a hydrant could be put in without putting in 300 ft. of pipe. Capt. Creel stated that there was no water main there and that the condition was under protest because the main would have to be installed to serve the fire hydrant. Discussion followed relative to an estimated $1500 cost. Mr. Izell stated that $1500 would not install a fire hydrant and 300 ft. of pipe, only if the main was already there. W. H. Minter, 147 E.

He said there were other houses built right up next to the lot they are asking to split, but only they are being asked to pay the estimated $20,000 cost of installation, which would be prohibitive He stated that it was unreasonable to ask Mr. Duenas to pay for the protection that other property owners would receive and that the cost should be split among a11 those who would benefit. He said that $1500 would be the cost of only the fire hydrant. The cost was prohibitive and they could not pay it. Councilman White inquired whether the last developer on a street was required to pay for the fire hydrant system. Director of Planning Kilgour stated that if that was his requirement in his division of land on the last lot, this would be his responsibility. He said that improvement districts sometimes informed the entire block of their requirement to pay their proportioned shares but that was not the situation here. Councilman McNeilt asked what the City could do. Acting City Attorney Handrick said that the Fire Department was making the recommend- ation for the fire hydrant but that the discretion was vested in the Council whether or not to impose the condition. He stated that there was a fire service problem there and asked Capt. Creel if the County could provide fire protection to the area without the fire hydrant. Capt.

Mayor Btewett stated that the Council had the right to try to develop an assessment district there and that if they granted the Appeal, Council should ask Staff for a report on that. Councilman McNeitI stated that one property should not bear the expenses of the other properties. Councilman White inquired about the pattern used by other cities. Mr. Kitgour stated that sometimes when it is not a large subdivision, partially improved and partially dedicated, and grows a unit at a time, the development of lots gets ahead of the public improvements. Then sometimes cities end up with improvement districts on curbs, gutters, sidewalks and utilities. He said that may be appropriate in this matter. Mayor Btewett polled the Council relative to granting the Appeal. Councilman Aguilar referred to a special fund that had been set up for fire hydrants. Acting City Manager Sexton stated that the cost of a fire hydrant was $1500 and the water line to connect the fire hydrant $18,000. He said that several years ago, when the City was experiencing the high cost of this require- ment of the Fire Department, they had attempted to establish a fund for $5000. They planned a front footage cost for each Parcel Map, with the money to be used by the City for installation of the fire hydrant, but the internal codes that affected water companies were changed, the cost of fire hydrants tripled and the expense would have bankrupt the City. The $5000 fund amounted to virtually nothing to start with. Councilman Aguilar stated that one of the City's biggest problems was the Baldwin Park Water District and that developers were afraid to come into the area. Mr. Sexton stated that the Water Co. had asked for $40.00 per running foot in the Northwest Industrial area for water tines. It was established that Council had no control over the Water District but that the electorate did Councilman IzeTI stated that a private contractor could put in a water hydrant for $750, but the Water Co. would not allow a private contractor to install it, but charged $1500 themselves or $1000 bond if the private contractor did install it, to be sure it would work for a year. Councilman Aguilar stated that the people of Baldwin Park did not realize this was going on. continued) BIB] 37656-U01 1978-U02 03-U02 15-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9591-U03 FO9594-U03 DO9671-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/4/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1978 03 15 CC MIN;¢f4ÈzRegular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council March 15, 1978 Page 12 Councilman White stated that he was not in favor of lowering the standard and disregarding the advice of the Fire Department, but thought the Council should be able to work out something more equitable than allowing one developer to bear the brunt of the cost of a fire hydrant. Acting City Attorney Ftandrick advised that if Council wished to grant the Appeal and remove that condition, that it be replaced with the condition that if an assessment district was created there to construct the water tine and fire hydrant, the property owner must waive any right to protest the formation of the district. He said it would still leave him the right to protest any cost imposed. The condition being appealed should be eliminated, with the Staff directed to start proceedings to attempt to establish an assessment district to construct the water line and put in the fire hydrant to service that entire area, The residents in that area would have the right to protest if they wished, or public funds could be expended if it became a fire hazard.

H/S/C: AGUILAR/IZELL. Roll Call. There were no objections. Mayor Blewett stated that the Water Co. had been insensitive to anyone with new development and asked if there was anything Council could do. Mr. Flandrick stated that the Baldwin Park County Water District was a public agency and subject to regulations. He said their charges must be reasonable and imposed equally and that their rates probably could be attacked if not justifiable; however, a developer that was going to be in the area may not wish to attack the Water Co. and have them remember his name. Councilman Aguilar asked if there was any way the people of Baldwin Park could control the Water District. Mr. Flandrick said their board was elected and consisted of five persons residing in this area. Councilman Aguitar directed Mr. Sexton to look into the possibility of taking it to the vote of the people to buy the Water District and control it. He said the Water District always fights with new developers and keeps the City down. continued) ALLOW APPEAL ON PARCEL MAP 941, PROVIDING THAT CONDITION 6 BE REPLACED BY A CONDITION THAT PROPERTY OWNER WAIVE RIGHT TO PROTEST SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT CREATED FOR PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTING WATER LINE & FIRE HYDRANT FACILITIES BIB] 37656-U01 1978-U02 03-U02 15-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9591-U03 FO9594-U03 DO9671-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/4/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1978 03 15 CC MIN;¢f4ÈzRegular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council Mr. Sexton clarified that he would investigate all the various possibilities of having better control of the Water Co. 00- City Clerk Balkus read in full a tetter from Guyneth Crites, Chairman of the Senior Citizens Advisory Commission, to the Mayor and City Council, expressing their thanks to their staff support, Leo Sopicki, for his efforts in obtaining a County grant for the purchase of a mini-bus to provide transportation for senior citizens.

Campbett, 14405 Baldwin Ave., representing the California Association for the Handicapped, stated they had just gotten a charter for a new chapter for Baldwin Park. The senior citizens had already started the project for obtaining transportation but the Association for the Handicapped wanted an injunction of both handicapped and senior citizens. He said there were state and federal grants available for such projects. He asked why parking for the handicapped was not pro- vided by the Baldwin Park Post Office. Mayor Blewett suggested that Mr. Campbell talk to the Post Office relative to parking for the handicapped and then write to Congressman Rousselot, who was a member of the House Post Office Comnitte and could get a response about postal service. Mr. Campbell stated that the President of their chapter would contact the City relative to the transportation they will be considering for senior citizens. He stated that contracts can be lost if transportation is not provided for the handicapped and elderly. 00- Carl Sharpe, 5018 Wimmer, asked whether it was possible for the citizens of Baldwin Park to take over the Baldwin Park Water District by referendum vote.

Mayor Blewett stated that the cost of the Newsletter had been budgeted and approved through July 1, 1978. He said the Council would be happy to know that there would be a healthy budget surplus this year, but that next year would be a difficult year. 00- Council discussion followed on when the new Public Services Building would be occupied. Acting City Manager Sexton stated that May 19 was the date given by the contractor for annexation of the entire group, but hopefully it wi11 be sooner than that. 00- Councit discussion followed on delivery of Council agenda packets.

He said that Director of Recreation & Parks Lucas had provided parking for the handicapped, but did not know whether he had provided for restroom facilities in his budget or not. Councilman McNei11 said he would like to see facilities for the handicapped pushed as fast as money was available. He stated that he thought the Postmaster would cooperate with the City on parking spaces for the handicapped as they already had a ramp. Councilman Izelt suggested changing the front steps of the Community Center into a ramp. Mr. Cunningham stated that this could be done, but that the parking facilities were in the rear. Councilman Izelt said that if a new person wanted information, he would want to enter from the front of the building and that there should be a ramp there. Mr. Cunningham said that the second phase of construction would be discussed soon and they could consider this point. Mayor Blewett directed that Mr. Cunningham bring back the cost on the construction of a ramp on the front of the Community Center to the Council, and Lhdt i'1r. Lucas bring them the cost of resfcrooiii facilities for the handicapped at Morgan Park. Director of Recreation & Parks Lucas stated that buildings and restrooms at Morgan Park had been totally equipped to handle wheel chairs for ten years now and met all standards. Councilman Aguitar inquired about what had been done with the chandatiers in the main dining room at the Community Center. Mr. Cunningham stated that they were still there. Mayor Blewett directed that Mr. Cunningham research the possibility of getting a grant to renovate the auditorium. Acting City Manager Sexton stated that the first round of Local Public Works grants had financed the Public Services Building and that the third round of these grants might help renovate the auditorium. The guidelines would be published soon. Mayor Blewett stated that the auditorium could be one of the greatest assets of the City, if renovated properly.

He stated that the Planning Commission had recommended at their last meeting that the City Council consider a moratorium on house move-ins until specific standards were developed. He stated that there had been four or five move-ins, one of which was a commercial building. Only one residence had been completed.

Councilman White inquired whether this development would aggravate the problem. Capt. Creel stated that it would create another buildable site and aggravate the problem somewhat. He asked Mr. Kitgour if there was other property to be divided in the area. Mr, Kilgour stated that six or eight single family parcels could be created northerly of this site. Capt. Creel confirmed that the lot in question would be the farthest lot from a fire hydrant. He said that more and more development could develop to the north and that some one must eventually contribute or set up a system or no one will. Dwaine Glass, 14345 E. Garvey, stated that unusual conditions seemed to accompany an application that required a variance. He asked whether an applicant would be permitted to build without installing a fire plug, if a variance was not required. Mr. Kitgour stated that this was not a problem of variance, but rather a condition of the Parcel Map, which describes a through lot which was being divided into two lots and necessitated a variance request. The new lot was being created as a condition of approval for this lot and the standard review process was being followed, with input from the Fire Department. Their recommendation had been to install the fire hydrant for protection Mr. Glass said he understood the Fire Department had made this recommendation, and that there was an International Insurance Office that makes recommendations to the Fire Department, based on fire zones and insurance rates are set for the City. He stated that it would not be fair for one person to carry the load to keep fire rates and zones as they are. If the plug was not installed and a house was built, the fire zone there could change and the rates could increase. He said he would like to see the condition removed from Mr. Duenas's Parcel Map and handled by the community as a whole. Manuet Duenas, 6002 Greenteaf, Whittier, owner of the property, stated that it was a nuisance when he had bought it and he had wanted to split the lot and sell to a young couple. Imnrove- ments could be iiiade, but unless hts Appeal was granted, he would have to cancel the sate and the lot would be useless. As there was no further testimony in behalf or in opposition to the Appeal on the conditions of approval of Parcel Map 941, Mayor Btewett declared the public hearing closed.
