Mayor Heath: The hour of 8:00 o'clock p.m. having arrived, this is the time and place for hearing protests or objections against the improvement of Caroline Street and other streets in the City of West Covina as described in Resolution of Intention No, 2207 passed by the City Council at their regular meeting of October 9, 1961. Mr. City Clerk, do you have the affidavits of Publication, Posting and Mailing relative to this hearing? City Clerk, Mr. Flotten: We have the affidavits. Mayor Heath: I will entertain a motion to re- ceive and file the affidavits. Motion by Councilman Barnes, seconded by Councilman Towner, and car- ried, that the affidavits of Publication, Posting and Mailing be re- ceived and filed.', Mr.' Rosetti, :'::._l., LL.:..:'_.. This project ,looks like it will Assessment Engineer run a little higher, It is a piece -meal. project with seven projects in one and will run about $6.70 assessable front foot according to our estimate and one-third is single line. The assessments have been running about $5.00 or $5.50. Mayor Heath asked if a single line means a line on each side of the street and Mr. Rosetti indicated that it did and a street more than 80-feet wide must have lines on both sides of it. Councilman Barnes questioned that the cost relative to this district is also possibly due -to the district being small and Mr. Rosetti in- dicated that yes, that was another factor in the cost. In one district Sthe contractor hauls in equipment and does an area whereas in this.dis- trict he will have to dig in one area then pull equipment out and move over to another area and when you use that principle it brings the cost a little higher, Mayor Heath asked if this matter had been checked to see if the cost could be brought down. Mr. Rosetti indicated that it had but a con- tributing factor is about 500 to 1000 feet of line necessary to tie the district in from where the district ends over to the outfall where- as in a normal district, this runs to the outfall but in this case it is some 5001 on this one and a 10009 here, -7- C. Ca 1.1-13-61 Page Eight A111-59-3 PROTEST HEARING - Continued Mayor Heath asked the City Manager if he agreed with the assessment standing as is and Mr. Aiassa stated that he had reviewed this with • staff and they had no objections. Mr. Dosh stated that Council has gone on record for staff to tie these various areas together and that, in itself, is somewhat the cause of the high footage rate-.,. Mayor Heath indicated there appeared to be a great number of feet of line to tie in the district to the outfall and was there awareness that,the cost of that line was spread over the entire district. Can we save these people money possibly on a reimbursement program on this 1000-feet of sewer or let it go as is? Mr. Dosh indicated that he did not think we could in this case. Other procedures have been tried, under different circumstances prior to the installation of this district but then we went ahead and charged connection fees after it was all done. Mayor Heath indicated that was what he had in mind on this district and with the 1000-feet and the cost spread will there be further connection to the 1000-feet of sewer? Mr. Dosh indicated there wouldn't be anything that wasn't assessed already as all prop- erties are assessed whether there are improvements on it or not, if they are benefited. Councilman Barnes asked if there were any other districts that could benefit from this sewer line? Mr. Aiassa stated that by grouping these in a bigger district you get a greater number of parcels upon which to spread the assessment and if we do not take those in line with this proposed assessment., leaving others off, we will end up as on Lark Ellen where there were only 5, 6 or 10 lots and a special district which ended up paying $7.00 or something like that per foot. Staff has gone over this and they feel that with the number of parcels involved it will actually help keep the price cheaper than if it were in small, individual districts. Mayor Heath stated he felt the point here had been .Lost completely. There is to be some 1000-feet of sewer line to connect this project into the main line. The cost of this is being distributed among people in this district, If there is going to be a connection onto 1000-feet at any future date.there is a connection charge and that connection charge should be reimbursed to people or provisions made for doing so. Mr. Dosh stated there were two areas shown on this map which indicate these are developed commercial projects, served with sewers from the west off Azusa and Hol.lenbeck respectively. Now we have to run around this service road past properties that have developed their own sewers. If these sites had been developed in an assessment district years ago some money might have been saved but they have developed their own connections and we must go past these developed areas which indicates more costs to the district. Mr. Aiassa stated that they attached their own sewer to main lines and some of this cost was borne by these people at a very high rate. Councilman Barnes asked if at the time of Kinney Shoes and the motel, did we run a line in front of that property and stub off to be used at a later date by other properties. Mr. Dosh indicated that we had not done so at that time, although at Grand Avenue it was done at a prior date to save the district future construction costs. WE 0 Co Co 11-13-61 Page Nine A'11-59-3,PROTEST HEARING.- Continued Mayor Heath. Mr. City Clerk, have you received - any written protests or objections against this proposed improvement? City Clerk,.Mr. Flotten-, We have one, dated November 9, rel= ative to Lot 52 in Tract No. 17547,' address 121 North Baymar Avenue, Mr. James F. McCullough protesting being includedo Mayor Heath asked if therewere any reason indicated in the communi- cation and Mr..Flotten stated there was not. Mayor Heath asked if .Mr. McCullough was in,the audience in reference to this matter and no one rose to the question. The question was further.asked if any- one else present in the audience desired to protest and no one rose to the question. Mr. Flotten stated that there'were no further written protests re- ceived. There was discussion of a change of work order, relative to the res- olution whi'ch follows, and the City Attorney indicated that due to this, the hearing should not be closed in order to allow protests on this change of work order and after proper procedure then Council can order the work to be done under proper resolution. RESOLUTION NO. 2236 ADOPTED Mayor Heath - The City Attorney presented-, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUN- CIL OF THE CITY OF WEST COVINA DECLARING THE COUNCIL'S INTEN- TION TO'CHANGE THE WORK PROPOSED TO BE DONE IN CAROLINE STREET AND OTHER STREETS AND RIGHTS -OF - WAY" (Av11-59-3) Hearing no objections, we will waive further reading of the body of the resolution.

Hearing conducted on July 24, 1961, continued to September 25, 1961.and again to November 13, 1961 with consent of applicant. -9- Co Co 11-13 .61 I ZONE CHANGE NO, 190 - Continued Page Ten There was no testimony presented, and the hearing was declared closed. Councilman Towner stated that he believed the information Council. was waiting f6r'6n this area had been received and on the basis of the recommendation of the Planning Commission he felt this should be granted C-1,zoning. To a question by Mayor Heath, Mr. Joseph indicated that a particular site was never referred to but an area in general and the area 'covered relative to this type zoning was not above Rowland Avenue. To a question by Councilman Snyder as to whether we will go ahead and develop C-P zoning Mr. Joseph stated that there were 3 or 4 different designations coming out.as a result of the general plan but that there are yet to be public hearings held by Commission and Council and then if it is seen fit, to adopt the plan and once adopted the ordinance is rewritten to reflect these findings of the general plan. The cor- rections to these new zones will be a long time away, Motion by Councilman Towner, seconded by Councilman Barnes, and car- ried unanimously, that Zone Change No. 1.90 be approved, PRECISE PLAN OF,DESIGN LOCATION., Southeast corner of Pacific No, 292 Avenue and Pacific Lane. ,(Walter. L. and Phoebe Co Schroeter) Request for adoption of Precise Plan REFERRED BACKIO THE of Design approved by Planning Com- PLANNING COMMISSION mission Resolution No. 1,110. Hearing requested by Council. Hearing closed October 30, 1961 and decision held over to November 13, 19610 The memorandum report of .the Fire Chief and Building inspector, dated November 13, 1961, was read by the City Clerk. It was indicated -by either, Mayor Heath or Councilman Barnes, that it was felt that the report would indicate a substantial. alteration from that approved by the ' Commission and that they should have a second, opportunity to review this matter. Councilman -Towner stated he would go along with the Fire and Building Department recommen ' dations but that it was his understanding that the applicant and property owners had met and that perhaps they had reached a'compatible understanding between them, as to their desires 'and wishes, Councilman Snyder stated that in relation to Councilman Towner's .statement, that this was his understanding also, Councilman Barnes,. I. had some telephone calls this evening. However, I would make a couple of points which I think should be included in this precise plan if it is referred back to the Commission or denied. I think we should consider the block wall and planting strip and also proper set- back from this wall to allow trucks to service this building from the back doors so far as garbage and trash is concerned and also to consider proper lighting to be shielded so there is no offense from lighting to the R-1 property. Mayor Heath.: I positively couldn't console myself to agree with a building with no back door for safety reasons, if nothing else. If this is the recommendation of the Fire Chief we should con- _10- Co Co 11-13-61 Page Eleven PRECEISE PLAN OF DESIGN NO. 292 - Continued' Mayor Heath - Continued sider having backdoors, and if so, consider moving the building and moving it forward would possibly lose some parking spaces plus other Possible complications. I think it is no more than fair that this go back to the Commission and any changes should be recommended by them in accordance with any direction from the Planning Director. Councilman Snyder. I agree about the backdoors but I think we should have something said regarding the working together of owners and applicant. Mr. Ca Price I am speaking for the applicant and 307 East Rowland am the broker in this matter. We met with ,the people across the street and after discussion with them, which in- cluded the information in the report which we took with us to this meeting, it was the consensus of these people in the area that if it is satisfactory to the Council it would be satisfactory with them to have a wall 5-feet back from the property line and planting, I fail to see any reason stores could not be serviced from the front. It is not an unusual thing to do, There would be a 5-foot walkway along the rear of the buildings so that rear doors could be opened which would be a safety feature and a clear sidewalk for escape from any fire in the area and to plant whatever is desired by the City on the 5-foot setback of.the 5-foot fence. We would have a 10-foot setback with 5- foot planting leaving a 5-foot walk. There is also a 10-foot parkway, Councilman Towner. I would still rather see this serviced toward the front rather than the back as I think it would be better for the people over on the other side. Councilman Barnes. I can't see this at all. Stores ad- jacent to R-1 should have their trucks come in back so there is no trash car- ried out to the front of the buildings. Councilman Snyder. But I feel this is a different; situa- tion than usual here. Councilman Barnes. It is no different, it is commercial. Councilman Snyder. Yes, but the back is newt to homes and the front is a commercial. street. Councilman Barnes. That is true. I had a call from one of the property owners. There was a meeting and it was agreed as to side- walk and 5-foot planting strip with block wall, but even so I think buildings should set far enough away from this block wall to service buildings from rear doors. . Councilman Snyder- How much would that take? Councilman Barnes: I do not know but I think the Commis- sion should go over this. Councilman Snyder. This is why I desired to discuss this so that the Commission can get our feelings and not have this come before us again and we not accept it. -11- Co C� 11-13-61 Page. T,vVelve: PRECISE PLAN OF DESIGN NO. 292 - Continued Councilman Towner, I reiterate that we are trying to protect the people in the back And it seems that if we serviced f:r(am the front it would be more protection for them and the people in'tha, area would seem to prefer that rather than trucks on their side of the street. Councilman. Adams-, If we go along with the Fire Depart— ment recommendations, which we seem to be doing, the details are a mat,,trar for staff to make out although perhaps we should explailn our, feelinga on this matter, and come up with certain things to be worked out witb, the Commission and at staff level. Mayor Heath: I think the consensus is to ab,-ide by the Fire Department and require doors at the! ir@_::.,ar (.if of these stores and that the plan be revised where necessary due. to the additon of these doors at the rear of these, build,11.1.1g,"o Councilman Barnes--, I would like to see, thse buil-di"O,.g ,S� serviced from the rear door-s �;c 1,a:r as trash and garbage is cc)ncerrled, Councilman Towner-, It may be possible to purpose that Cour.c.i.11-man Barns.,s ha , in mind by a covered trash area at the side or front or some other location so, Us -at both tra,,_1;h and trucks are kept to the front of the, prc)Party' and away fyom t I !,,e Mayor, Reatb, .

Motion by Councilman Barnes., seconded by Councilman SnydeT, that the mattes' be referred to the Planning Commission for further study, Mr. Joseph, I feel it is very important wheth-er Council wants the loading in back or, front and I also wonder if you are suggesting now that the applicant come up with a new public hearing or that the City initiate a new public hearing and how to notify ad- jacent property owners. Mayor Heath: I think the text, or gst of the ini.,n- utes, will indicate how each member of Council feels. If this is referred back to the Commission, I do not think it must start all over again. -12- 0 u Co Co 11-13-61 PRECISE PLAN OF DESIGN NO. 292 - Continued Page Thirteen Councilman Towner: If this goes back to the Commission perhaps the people who spoke at the last hearing on this matter could be notified again when it comes :before the Commission and in that manner get the views of the people., Councilman Barnes: There are major changes now on this - plan, in my opinion. I am wondering if we could deny the precise plan and ask that a new plan be presented to the Commission and possibly waive the fee? Mr. Williams: I do not think you can waive the fee, and I do not know this is such a change as to require another start, It seems to me that Mr. Joseph has a point that if Council makes its decision that you need a revision of the plan it is up to the Commission to re- port back to you but if it is your intention to approve subject to con- ditions such as every store has backdoor, servicing at rear, etc, that the plan is referred back to the Planning Commission to revise this plan accordingly and report on it, but unless you do this, I think you will be no further ahead when you send it back than you were before. Councilman Snyder: These.developers, in my opinion, have gone a great deal more than usual out of their way to get the feelings of the people in the neighborhood and to please the people in the neighbor- hood as well and I think we should have a vote on loading in back or, front, Councilman Barnes: I feel you are right in regard to their working with the people but this is a great change from the first plan. You had one store, this plan calls for six. You have many store buildings vacant at Badillo and Orange and on the frontage road. The question on the motion to refer back to the Commission was asked and it was withdrawn, as well as the second. Motion by -Councilman Towner, seconded by Councilman Snyder that Precise Plan of Design No. 292 be disapproved in its present form because of the report of the Building and Fire Departments and that it be -referred back to the Planning Commission for study and recommendation and in. ac- cordance with the Fire'and Building Department recommendations.and that the applicant provide a 5-foot setback in addition to the parkway dedi- cation on the north side of the property which shall be landscaped, a six-foot ornamental block wall be provided on the north side of the prop- erty; that adequate space be left between the wall and building to ser- vice the stores and that all traffic be kept south of the building and that any trash or garbage containers be wholly enclosed and subject to such other recommendations as the Planning Commission sees fit. Councilman Barnes: Where are trash containers going to be enclosed? What location? Councilman Towner: We have to leave them some leeway in some direction, Councilman Barnes: Not that much. It doesn't give enough setback for R-1 property. -13- C. Co . 11-13'.-61 Page Fourteen PRECISE PLAN OF DESIGN NO. 292 --Continued Councilman Towner-. I would point out zoning is already on this property and that here we Are trying to protect adjacent property owners by,a precise plan. I do.,..not think is is fair to the"applicant to try to defeat'zoning by placing.unreasonable conditions on the -pre- cise plan and I think it is fair to the home owners to place reasonable requirements on the precise plan. Councilman Barnes-. I do not think we are being unfair to the applicants and we always protect, R-1. I think lighting should be shielded so as not to shine in the homes. Councilman Towner: I agree and no advertising on the north side of the building eithero Motion failed on roll call as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Towner, Snyder Noes: Councilman Barnes, Mayor Heath Absont° None Abstaining: Councilman Adams Councilman Adams stated he was abstaining because he felt the,details of the precise plan is a perogative of the Planning Commission and the staff and I think we can again tell them to take every protection to protect the R-1 to the north.

South side of Virginia NO, 27022 Avenue, between Grand (Louis Brutocao) and Mesa Drive HELD OVER 8.5 acres - 21 lots - Area District III Approval recommended by Planning Commission on November 1, 1961. Motion by Councilman Barnes, seconded by Councilman Snyder that Tenta- tive Map of Tract No. 27022 be approved, subject to the recommendations of the Planning Commission and Fire Department.. Before the question members of the audience indicated a desire to speak. During the discussion and as a result of .it this motion was withdrawn. Mr. Sutter,. I live southeast of this subdivision and in general like this subdivision but I am concerned in relati.on . to it about Sunset Hill Drive being blocked from ever being a through street, My concern too, is for the children going to school: along here and Virginia Avenue although right now not too heavily trafficked there will be more along that street when Grand is completed and will become more of.a hazard for the children and this other street going through would then be better for them to walk on to school. If the north cul- de -sac street is changed into a blind street it might prov:�de means for later 'connecting Sunset. Hill Drive to provide an east -west street. Another thing.is that these subdivisions are being treated one at a ..time and there is no block plan for this area. I; think theseareas here should all fit together somehow to become a real first class plan, if it is possible. Mayor Heath stated that would be an ideal. way to do it but there is no assurance these different owners will go into a general plan of that type. Mr. Joseph was then questioned as to whether this .idea of Sun- set Hill Drive cutting through was discussed in Commission. Mr. Joseph indicated that there was.lengthy discussion of block studies and whether this should be approved or wait pending over all surveys but that this has a great deal to do with not h.aving,adequate topo maps as this whole area has tremendous topo problems. Mr. Joseph further indicated that the Planning staff felt it should go through and set this before the Commission. The Engineering Department, through.Mr.'Dosh, felt we should not hold up the applicant at this time, although all recognized the necessityof having an over-all design pro- gram started in this area and having the developers meet the requirement of community -wide design. However,,there was preparation that could not be presented along this line, in actuality, and the Commission decided to act on this at this time., Mr. Dosh stated the question was asked by the developer "what did we like" and this could not be indicated because of the absence of impor- tant topography information in this area. It couldn't be said this is not the best plan or recommend against it. -15- Co C 11-13-61 TENTATIVE MAP OF TRACT N0.27022 - Continued Mayon Heath indicated that he felt if Sunset Hill it would readily join in this project at the curve and felt that we had to go ahead and let this man desires to do so at this time, Page Sixteen is cut through, in the street develop if he Mr. Sutter stated there had also been submitted two other plans let- ting Sunset Hill through but this one does block it.and Sunset Hall would never go through. He further indicated he did not feel the topography is -that great a problem here and he would like the Com- mission to drive up'and look at this area.and then see if they would feel the same way. Counc_°ilmar Barnes stated that however in the meantime, he did not feel we should hold this. mar, ap fron, developing his property. Councilman Snyder stated that perhaps this was true but that at the same time, this is something that we run into time after time in de- veloping certain areas piece -by -piece with no plan for a whole area and to plan for this whole area, first, would probably be more bene- ficial to all and gyve better solutions and problems more readily seen. Mayor Heath stated that if there is taking the stand of Sunset Hill, cut- ting through, this would determine the boundaries of Sunset Hill. Drive immediately and it would be possible for anyone who has that property so designated to come in and request us to buy that property immediately and if we do not have the money we cannot buy it. • Councilman Snyder stated that he was not indicating where the Sunset Hill Drive should go but to see if this plan could be made so as to connect up in the future and if it is felt it should connect up it; should be considered in spite of the fact we have the urgency of ap- proving just this one tract. We have run into this problem before where we do .not look beyond the boundaries of the tract and it was his thinking that we shculda Mr. Aiassa stated there was an attempt some time ago to bring the three owners together but it never materialized and the question is what are these other people going to do unless you can team together with a block study. Mr, Joseph stated that a block study was made in 1955 showing Sunset; Hill Drive going through. This was used in discussion with the Corn - mission but there was not enough topo information and that is a mat- ter that would have to be looked into very carefully. Properties to the east and west have subdivided in conformance to this block study, To a question by Councilman Barnes, Mr. Joseph indicated this map as it is technically sound and there is no information on the other properties, Councilman Towner felt that perhaps this should be held and let it be considered by means of a block study of topo studies, tying it in with remainder of properties. Mr. Aiassa stated the comments made by the • Planning Director were fine and there are the comments by the engineers and developer, too. If we make such a study we do not have the con- tours to make such a block study, although we are in the process of doing this.but have the first step yet to go, and these two adjoining properties are steep. We have the topography provided in the map be- fore Council but none for adjoining properties. Mr. Joseph stated that is correct and that this map will work. Co Co 11-13-61 Page Seventeen TENTATIVE MAP OF TRACT NO, 27022 - Continued Mr. Van Alstyne, There is a terrific drainage prob- lem from this property to the south and water comes down Trona Drive and empties onto the side of my property there. A temporary easement handles it and water drains off to the west, Mr. Dosh, however, in reference to Mr. Van Alystyne's statement indi- cated that this map will solve any drainage problem easterly of this. The problems lie westerly of this point. Mr. Dosh further indicated that insofar as traffic we do not have a complete answer to that. Mayor heath. stated that it would appear that topography maps and other pertinent material would be an absolute necessity for this area. It could result in this being held up for a long period of time and he felt this would seem fairly reasonable an answer for traffic and drain- age now. Councilman Snyder, however, felt this map wasn't the best they could do here and_with topography maps and other material there could be something better on there. Mr. Aiassa stated that staff could take the old Whitna.l.l map layout and over lay this area to provide some indications as to the street patterns. Perhaps this item should be held over for two weeks. Councilman Towner stated that possibly we should use whatever tools we do have, barring the fact we cannot have the complete topography information we should have. Mr. Aiassa stated the big map would show this proposed subdivision in relation to all existing streets, etc. of the area. Motion by Councilman Towner, seconded by Councilman Snyder, that Ten- tative Map of Tract No. 27022 be held over to the next regular meeting for street .layout and traffic circulation report, TENTATIVE MAP .OF TRACT NO. 26966 (Joyce A1dehl and John F. Richards) HELD OVER LOCATION, Northeast corner of Azusa and Cameron Avenues. 8.88 acres - 30 lots - Area District II -A Approval recommended by Planning Com- mission on November 1, 1.9610 Maps were presented and recommendations were read. There was also a report read from Mr. Joseph in relation to City maintained planting areas along wall of back-up lots. Councilman Barnes, In this planting area along the Cam- eron back-up lots, who would maintain these outside planting area, the City? I think this is up -keep for the City in the future, it would look nice but we have all of Cameron and Azusa to consider. Mr. Joseph stated a report is being prepared by Mr. Gingrich and indi- cations are it isn't inexpensive, it cost money, but possibly it could be handled by a long range program. -17- Co Co 11-13-61 Page Eighteen TENTATIVE MAP OF TRACT NO. 26966 - Continued Mayor Heath: It might be a good effect but I think that we would be biting off something more than we could chew and something we are going to have to live with a long time when we don't have money to take care of City parks let alone these var- ri.ous strips. Mr. Alassa indicated that he felt, however, the desire here was to permit the Parks and Recreation Commission and Staff to review this for analysis as to cost figures and factors recontinuous maintenance. Councilman Snyder indicated he felt this isn't the problem that we are faced with, water, maintenance, but problem of trash. Mr. Aiassa sta- ted that was correct and one of the big items, just policing and that one glaring example is the new stretch of Cameron east of. Sunset rela- tive to trash, boxes and everything else. However, Councilman Snyder felt that wasn't a fair comparison as it was next to a vacant lot and now they are exposed. Mr. Aiassa said yes, but there would be no re- peats of this if there was a policy regarding any time lots back up to future street? Adequate bonds or cash is deposited with the City to insure this. Mayor Heath felt this was a policy that could be thought of and de- cided upon but did not think this was the time nor place to do it. We have a map before us and whether we go for the City maintenance outside of a fenced area should be taken as a separate problem. Mr. McNutt: I am the developer on this piece of • property and when we went before the Commission we were told of the desire to have this sprinkler system put in which was something entirely new and which we had never come up against. Whether it is right or wrong you will have to determine. When we started to lay this property out we designed three different ways. Short cul-de-sac was very unsatisfactory, Depth is 300-feet, and we are giving 10-feet to the City which leaves us 290-feet. The ground running to the north is two to four feet lower than the south part of the ground. Another idea was putting a road on the north of the property, facing houses on Cameron and that would mean alleys or driveways onto'Cameron and isn't satisfactory. If we took 20-feet off each lot we would lose 6 to 8 lots and this would be impossible to subdivide economically. We are putting in three curbs and getting two sets of houses. If you desire a sprinkler system we would go with it but we would like to have approval without it being subject to that at this time: Mr. R. Alexander I believe there are a number of neigh- 846 Hill.ward bors along the tract who would prefer having some other plan, particularly those with alleys since there are al- leys coming out on Cameron on.the south side, rather thana wall. The homes face side streets but they have entrances at the side, landscaped, and which are used considerably. There will be a lot of children pass this area back and forth to school and the trash problem will probably be tremendous fronting the south.si:de.of Cameron. Councilman Towner noted the vacant, undeveloped portion on the Azusa Avenue side and Mr. McNutt indicated the church was purchasing this part and with definite indications that a loan would be now made avail- able for them to do so. a Co Ca 11-13-61 Page Nineteen TENTATIVE MAP OF TRACT NO. 26966 - Continued Councilman Snyder. East of Hollenbeck houses face Cam- eron and it will be just as much traveled as this would be and I would see no objection to putting a road completely on the north and face Cameron because they face east of there. Mr. McNutt again indicated to do this would mean a loss of 6 to 8 :Lots and with the required improvements such a loss would be uneconomical in deve,16ping these lots. Also there was the corner for signals which has been agreed to. Councilman Barnes stated he did not.feel we would want to take on any more projects of sprinkler systems or shrubbery on streets when we do not have enough parks developed and he would rather see parks developed. Councilman Adams; This alternate of providing alleys, if a'str.eet served one tier of lots it could be cut from the present require- ments to 52-feet and if serving one tier of lots it could be narrower than that and wouldn't require sidewalks along one side of it. I can think of nothing worse than 900=feet of a 6-.foot wall and if the City doesn't maintain the area it will not be maintained by the property owner. Councilman Towner stated something about "why not driveway turnarounds?" Councilman Snyder felt the matter of this maintenance should be studied although it:may not cost much for one area but the whole City in rela- tion to such areas may pose a different question. He didn't like the map, either. Motion by Councilman Towner, seconded by Councilman Snyder, and car- ried, that Tentative Map of Tract No. 26966 be held over to the next regular meeting to study problems indicated. (Alternate plan with street at north reviewed with possible adjustments so there wouldn't be too much loss of property - see how it :Looks on the property. Driveway turnarounds. Evaluation of cost of sprinklers, to see how this integrates with over-all area.) (Study of other areas with similar treatment Walker property, etc.) REVIEW OF PLANNING COMMISSION The Precise Plan, revision No. 29 ACTION OF NOVEMBER 1, 1961 of Fred Stein was requested by Council to come before them. This was other than matters to automati- cal.l.y come before them. RECREATION AND PARKS ACTION OF RECREATION Re: Request of Bassett School Dis- AND PARK COMMISSION trict for recreation services. City Clerk read the action taken by the Recreation and Park Commission in a memorandum to:the City Manager that due to the cutback in recreation leadership funds for'.this fiscal year it is the recommendation of the Commission that the request of Tonopah School be held over for consideration at next years budget studies - 62-63 studies and it was felt that this recreation program could not"be considered at this current time because of recreation leadership cutback in other portions of the City. -19- Co Co 11-13-61 Page Twenty ACTION OF RECREATION AND PARK COMMISSION - Continued Mr. . Aiassa stated that he concurred with the recommendation and that he would suggest a motion to the effect that Mr. Gingrich be directed to write a letter to the Superintendent of the School to so advise them of the Recreation and Park Commission action. Motion by Councilman Snyder, seconded by Councilman Barnes, that Mr. Gingrich be directed to write a letter relative to the state- ment made by the City Manager regarding action taken on the school district request, LAYOUT FOR EDGEWOOD BASEBALL There was a discussion on this FIELD AT EAST CITRUS STREET matter relative to the plan, LOCATION Mrs. Blood stated that the Com- mission was in agreement and Mr. Alexander, President of the Edgewood Baseball League indicated the Ridge Rider Group and Legion were in favor of the changes. Mr. Williams felt this was a minor alteration and no public hearing would be necessary relative to this. Mayor Heath stated that he understood there would be no sound am- plifiers here at all and asked if that were correct and Mr. Alex- ander stated that is correct there would be no amplifiers and that an engineering job on the sprinklers had been requested to be done and it was done, Motion by Councilman Towner, seconded by Councilman Snyder, and car- ried, that the plan as presented for the Edgewood Baseball. League development of the Valencia Heights property be approved subject to the limitations placed on it by prior action of the Planning Commis- sion9 and this new plan shall supersede the existing plan for the ball diamond and that the Edgewood Baseball. League be authorized to proceed immediately with their construction. GENERAL MATTERS ORAL COMMUNICATIONS From the audience: The general plan, in the meetings with the Planning Consultant, has brought out numerous things to in- dicate that maybe to hold a special election in connection with the referendum and property involved might be a waste of taxpayers money. It boils down to whether the City will go along with the general plan and its concepts as to good City planning or if they choose to go a- long with it only to a certain degree, Tonight we heard one recom- mendation of Mr. Shatz in regard to property on Azusa and it seemed to have quite a bearing on the decision of Council tonight so I be- lieve that this is the time, possibly, for a little study session as to whether we mane firm commitment for special election, whether you go on or not go on with it. I think there is now enough information available to make it worth- while for us to take another look at it, I feel it is important to the City as a whole to go along with the plan that is made by ex- perts in this field. -20- s Ca Co 11-13-61 Page Twenty -One ORAL COMMUNICATIONS - FROM THE AUDIENCE - Continued Councilman Towner: I attended the last meeting on the general plan study and although there was a very brief comment regarding north Azusa Avenue it was clear that a development such as is under consideration is not provided for under their recommendations. Councilman Snyder: The plan indicated area and not specific location. Councilman Towner: The point is that other members of the Council were not present and be- fore spending some $SOOOa00 for this referendum election we should possibly consider the general plan, and although it has not been subject to public hearing we are now informed what the ideas are. Councilman Snyder: If the plan is completely at variance we should take this into consideration.. Possibly we should hold it over until we hear a report of the general. plane Mayor Heath: I would like to see the general plan before we take a final step and hold this for study session so we all. can weigh the pro and con on it before making a decision, Councilman Barnes stated he would like to see this matter held also. Councilman Snyder indicated he would agree to a preliminary study on this but would still not favor holding off until the 'general election if'it would seem that such an election might be considered still to be in order. Motion by Councilman Snyder, seconded by Councilman Adams, and car- ried, that this matter of the referendum be held over to the next regular meeting and that a study session be held in the interim with the date to be set by the Mayor and inviting the Planning Commission to meet with Council.

APPROVED Accepting report of Los Angeles Coun- ty Health Officer and instructing City Engineer to proceed. The following is the written report of the County of Los Angeles Health Department dated January 5, 1961 as addressed to the. City Council, attention of the City Engineer: -23- Co Co 11-13-61 Page Twenty Four SEWER DISTRICT Ae11-60-1 - Continued SUBJECT-. Magnolia Avenue and Larkwood Street Sanitary Sewer District, A111-60-1, City of West Covina RECOMMENDATION-. It is respectfully recommended that sanitary sewers be installed in this district, ANALYSIS° On June 23, 1960 and again on August 23, 1960, this Department recommended to your Honorable Council that sani- tary sewers be installed in the Magnolia Avenue and Larkwood Street Sanitary Sewer District, A111-60-1, as a measure necessary to the pro- tection of public health. Since the date of these previous recommen- dations, additonal area has been added to this district, namely, those areas'outlined in red on the attached map. The addition of this new area has not materially affected the sewage disposal problems and if anything, these problems have increased due to the elapsed period of time. On January 3, 1961, this Department made an investigation of the re- cently added areas outlined in red on the attached map. During the course of this investigation, 53 house -to -house calls were made. Of this number, 20 occupants were not at home..or did not answer the door. Of the 33 property owners or tenants actually contacted, 8 or 24.2% reported having experienced trouble with their individual subsurface • sewage disposal. systems., The combined.result of our three surveys of this proposed sanitary sewer district reveals that 113 house -to -house calls were made. Of this number, 31 occupants were not at home or did not answer the door, Of the 82 property owners or tenants actually contacted, 23 or 28% reported having experienced trouble with their individual subsurface sewage disposal. systems. In view of the facts revealed by our surveys, I, the undersigned Health Officer of the County of Los Angeles, having been officially designated by the City Council of the City of West Covina to perform public health services for the City of West Covina, do hereby again recommend that proceedings be instituted at once for the installation of sanitary sewers in the Magnolia Avenue and Larkwood Street Sanitary Sewer District, Ae11-60-1, City of West Covina, as an improvement necessary to the protection of public health. This recommendation is made pursuant to the provisions of Section 2808 of the Streets and Highways Code. Signed, Roy Oa Gilbert, M.D. Health Officer ,Motion by Councilman Towner, seconded by Councilman Snyder, and car- ried that the health officer's report be accepted and spread in full • upon the Minutes and that the,City Engineer be authorized to proceed pursuant to the provisions of Section 2808,, Division 4, of the.Streets and Highways code. -24- Co Co 11-13-61 RESOLUTION NO. 2242 ADOPTED Mayor Heath: Page Twenty Five The City Clerk presented: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST COVINA FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE CONSTRUC- TION OF SANITARY SEWERS IS NECES- SARY AS A HEALTH MEASURE IN MAGNO- LIA AVENUE AND OTHER STREETS AND RIGHT-OF-WAY IN THE CITY OF WEST COVINA" (A°11-460°1) Hearing no objections, we will waive further reading of the body of the resolution, Motion by Councilman Towner, seconded by Councilman Snyder that said resolution be adopted.

That is, he does not feel we should accept this deed because we would be assuming liability here. unless this line falls behind the curb right-of-way and feels.there should be certification to that facto It was indicated a .recheck had been made by City crew and those pre- viously involved Johnson's crew and it remained basically the same in findings as had the original survey. Councilman Towner felt that if a survey has been made and rechecked today and orally sta- ted the findings made are satisfactory the matter is in .Line he felt that should be sufficient to pass this. Mr. Williams, I believe, indicated he felt no detriment would occur from accepting this deed as it is only a grant and not construction, Mr. Aiassa stated that he had called Mr. Johnson and he (Johnson) had not checked it himself, just his crew working with City crew.
