I don't see where a commission of this type would be protecting the individual cities, If we want home rule, I think we should.stick to our own plans and forget about the,big commissions and overall studies, Councilman Krieger: I have a limited acquaintence of this letter from Mr, Nesvig of April 1, 1966 and the outline for the suggested five county and cities regional planning and development association, I was struck by the same point Councilman Heath has raised. I am rather acquainted with the conversations in the East San Gabriel Valley Planning Committee and I might anticipate perhap's unnecessarily or inaccurately that the Committee might not look at this any more favorably than your comments suggest you do, I would like to still know more about this as it is supposed to be conceived to see whether or not there are some aspects of it that aren't very well brought out in this outline, 8M • 0 Co Ca 4/11/66 Page Seven 'FIVE COUNTY REGIONAL PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT ASS CTATION Continued City Attorney, Mr, Williams, The City Manager attended the seminar last Wednesday on SCAG. This matter was discussed and it was indicated by the county representative, Mr. Golden, that this letter to the cities was somewhat deceptive. The proposal was suggested as an alternative to SCAGq more,or less. It was the vote of Warren Dorn that made the three -to -two vote to study this and he.explained in voting for it that he.was not proposing any withdrawal from SCAG; that he had no objection to studying anything,, The County itself is not in favor of the thing. Motion by Councilman Heath, seconded by Councilman Jett, that this matter be tabled until called up by some member of the Council. Action failed. (Ayes.- Councilmen Jett, Heath; Noes, Councilmen Snyder, Krieger, Mayor Nichols) Motion by Councilman Krieger, seconded by Councilman Snyder, and carried, that this matter be referred to the Planning Commission with a recommenda- tion that they refer it on for additional study by the East San Gabriel Valley Planning Committee for a report back to the Council through the Planning Commission. (Councilmen Jett and Heath voted "No".) Councilman Jett, The reason I voted "No" on this is that there is a question in my mind as to what we would be asking the East Sam Gabriel Valley Planning Committee to make a study and make a recommendation.to this body on, - City Attorney, Mr..Williams: Councilman Krieger, 'SCHEDULED MATTERS BIDS PROJECT NO.

A portion of. that is offset that the school district funds were a maximum of $4,300 as opposed to half of the amount. If you wish to call the $109000 approximate very broad, this is true, However, from the standpoint of award, the award will still be made on the basis of the bid presented, I will have to report back to you on the $7,000, Councilman Heath-. This is only for the street improve- ments,, What is the lowering of the water line going to cost? Acting City Manager, Mr, Fasts That was awarded when we approved the project on a previous meeting. The water line will be lowered by the water company and they handle this directly with their own competitive bidding. We just order it out, Councilman Heaths Don't you think we should know? We give them a blank check to lower this water line, It is possible we could get a lower bid on lowering this water line or at least we are''entitled to see the bids the water company gets, Acting City Manager, Mr. Fast: I don't recall the exact figures, but • the figure in the budget, I believe, was around $8,300 which was an estimate from the water company, Apparently we have issued an order to the water company for $8,513, This was authorized on March 7th, Councilman Heath: Acting City Manager, Mr, Fast-. Councilman Heath's Did we ask to see three bids before we approved this? We can usually see bids about three to six months.after we request it, I feel we are entitled to s:ee.the bids on this before the contract is awarded, City Attorney, Mr, Williams-. This is a water line belonging? to the water company and if we order them to lower it and the circumstances are such that they have a prior right, we would have to pay them their expenses of lowering it, I think we would not have to go to bid because we are demanding that they lower their own line which we don't have a right to do but.we would have.a right to know what their cost is before we proceed,:if you wish.to,. Acting City Manager, Mr, Fasts Any of these costs from the water company, they are required to, present an itemized bill prior to our payment, • Councilman Heathy We have been led to believe by the staff that work that is done by some of the water companies in the area is ordered to be done by one of their subsidiaries without bid and that subsidiary buys the pipe from another subsidiary which is not required to bid and the:price of this could be astronomical, Are we entitled to see three bids that this company would obtain prior to issuing this order or do we just take a blank order because the water company says they will take this much? so Co Co 4/11/66 Page Nine PROJECT NO. C-103-1 m Continued: City Attorney, Mr. Williams: I don't think we are entitled to . require the water company to sub- mit three bids but we are entitled to solicit as many quotations or bids or information as we wish as to what the proper charge should be; that we scrutinize the bills submitted to us and if the bill is not fair then we don't recognize it, Motion by Councilman Krieger, seconded by Councilman Snyder, that on Project No. C-103-1, that the bid of Louis Se Lopez in the sum of $10,322.54 be accepted, the contract be so awarded; that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the contract agreement. 0 0 Councilman Heath: I thought all the curbing and -gutter and paving were going to be put in. If this is so, why do we need redwood headers in here? Acting City.Manager, Mr. Fast: I can only assume that we are putting in this header on the north side of the intersection where the precise plan has been approved but.we have no assurance as to when it will go in.

There is a driveline in the front but the major access is from the rear,, There are many occasions .in the City now where access is from the rear of the property leaving the front free and clear for landscaping and building,, Councilman Snyder; I feel they should have their access directly from Garvey, I think the Planning Commission should at least take a look at it,, Councilman Krieger, The.parking entrance in the rear is creating a secondary street out of an alleyway,, Councilman Snyder; People not familiar with the property would be confused by the parking in the back with no immediate visible access to the parking. I think you would find that people not familiar with the area would be parking in Robert Hall's parking lot and walking over.to this property, The students will know the parking lot is in the back and will park back there, Motion by Councilman Krieger, seconded by Councilman Heath, that Zone Change No,, 363 be approved Motion passed on roll call as follows:.

If you have any questions,. I will be happy to answer them,, There being no further public testimony, the public portion of the hearing was closed, Councilman Snyder; What is the width of the frontage road directly in front of this property in that area? Acting City Manager, Mr,, Fasts I believe it is 32 feet,, Councilman Snyder; I believe at their request there was a study by the Planning Depart- ment demonstrating how the property to the east of this could be developed, from Juniper east along Garvey, with the idea in mind that whatever you did here might set a pattern,, Planning Director, Mr. Josephs The report of the staff, which was adoomm is noted. That stated that the propertyewith generallyby thelng theCsamession, characteristics across the street was zoned and used the same way and that the zoning was consistent with usage in the,area Councilman Snyder. It seems to me in granting any heavier zoning than already granted • here the burden is on the applicant to demonstrate that the zoning he is asking for is not going to set a pattern; or, if it is going to set a pattern similar to his zoning, something h4s to be done to handle the congestion that will occur on a 32-foot.street,, Councilman Heath. I would think that the statement regarding the widening of the freeway belongs in this report because it scares you as soon as you seethe Possibility of some of this property being condemned. I think during, past years that I have been on the Council I have noticed that along the Co Co 4/11/66 Page Twelve "ZONE CHANGE NO, 360 8 PRECISE PLAN NO, 485 - Continued freeway we are definitely making changes to other zones than R-1. I think C-1 is too heavy ,a use for this property but I can readily see where this can be rezoned for office use, be a good use of the property, and be an advantage to the City, Councilman Krieger: Mr.* Anderson, in your presentation you commented you saw two valid objections raised at the Planning Commission level. One.was traffic flow and I never did hear the second one, Mr, Ray Anderson-. The matter of signs and that would go along with C-1 use, Councilman Krieger; Mr, Perryman, you have prepared and presented your case, which I think is much better prepared and presented than most cases we get. You have 40 instances, I believe, of this type of zoning in the City as precedent, Mr, Don.Perxymane Each of the lots in red indicate a commercial zone abutting the residential zone, Councilman Krieger: My question is: On any of your examples or illustrations, do you have such an abutment where the proposed zone change faces onto a residential .street' Mr, Don Perryman. I didn't investigate it from that angle, Councilman.Snydera I think.this is a toorly placed piece of property by itself to make R-Po In combination with other property plus a showing by the, applicant how he can solve the traffic problem to his own area as well would throw a different light on this, Certainly there is no.. shortage of R-P property in the City for somebody to put a real estate office on,, I think we need to come to the end of the time - when we just grant somebody zoning because they have a certain piece of property which suits them, This is how a lot of our poor zoning patterns got started, I think this does nothing to enhance the overall neighborhood involved here and increases the density of use, Councilman Heath; We have a large parcel across from the Queen of the Valley Hospital which was zoned R-P which faces R-1 and is contiguous and backs.up to R-l. We have the property at the corner of. Merced and Glendora which backs up to Rml. We have recently zoned the whole west side of Glendora Avenue R-P which backs up to R-1 and faces R-1, Councilman Krieger,. Each of.the.illustrations you have given suggests that the frontage of those properties if they were in an improved state was on a secondary or well travelled street rather than -.a residential street. I was looking for illustrations where we have an improved piece of property where the frontage is on a residential street. where we have granted a zone change from R-1 to'R-P,. -12- C, C, 4/11f6&6 Page Thirteen ZONE CHANGE No, 360 6 PRECISE PLAN NO, 485 Continued • Councilman Jett: The property off of Azusa, I believe'on Eckerman or,Danes, would be an example,, Apparently there is no opposition to the use this gentleman wants to put this property to, I would feel that C-1 would be too heavy for this property but I don't. see where some type of professional use along the freeway at ,the entrance and exit to the freewdf the way it is located here and that large piece of R-3 behind there, this would seem to me like a logical use for this piece of property, Mayor Nichols: I think Councilman Snyderls reserva- tions as expressed here have some validity, I think the concern relative to the possible widening of the"' freeway and a lessening of the size -of that property would be a concern, However, this is -obviously a risk of the property owner,, I have taken the personal philosophic answer in attempting to justify the votes I take on the Council that those properties that front right on -the freeway, if there are any properties in the City that are inclined to justify a usage'other than R-1, certainly those properties are. I tend to feel this request is reasonable, I can't see at that location with the freeway coming right off in his front yard and on the frontage road, I can't see an objection to it,' The people in the area are not here to object.:to this application, C Councilman Snyder; I think every piece of property that develops along here has'' burden to -show how this whole area can be developed in a more orderly fashion, I think nothing looks worse than houses converted to offices along the freeway.

Page Twenty -Four There was a letter announcing the change to Chapter 1450 of the Streets and Highways Code,, Our City Attorney has concurred in the interpretation and'I have heard .from the State Highway Department today that they were senaing out a longer letter explaining what they meant,, It has nothing to do with the State hearings on the freeways at all but rather local jurisdiction only,, I also confirmed in this report the approximate scheduling of the Huntington Beach Freeway hearings,, TEMPERATURE READINGS ON GASOLINE DELIVERIES Acting, City Manager, Mr,, Fast. We have a brief informational report as far as this is concerned,, We have taken a look at our gas consumption and we feel after perhaps 166 or '67 fiscal budget we will insert an item for a 109000 gasoline tank to be installed at the City Yard that will give us a bulk rate diferential and at that time we can demand temperature readings,, Councilman Heath. I spoke with the City Manager concerning this item this afternoon,, I think we have enough engineers in:our staff to realize that gasoline has a coefficient of expansion,, I do know that gasoline stations and service stations can either make money or go brake depending on the temperature of the gasoline they receive and due to the expansion and contraction of the gasoline after delivery,, The City Manager told me we are getting partial shipments; by that I mean a half -truckload at a time and led me to believe that we are also getting the bottom half of the tank,, I know more about gasoline delivery than this because if they are going to come out with a load of gas and they stop here -and you might get the top off.' the truck or you might be getting the bottom,, If we are getting the bottom, it is quite possible and quite probable that the temperature of the bottom -gasoline is.hotter than what would be there if we had a full tank,, Mr. Aiassa advised me that they are going to consider a 109000 gallon tank in the next budget and I feel that this would be again erroneous planning because at the present time we get a delivery twice a month and I think in this way we are keeping fresh gas and getting our money's worth out of the gas we use,, I would like to explore every possibility of leaving the present half -tank shipment twice a month rather than one shipment a month and that the temperature be taken on that tank load whether it be a half tank, quarter -tank, or full tank,, It means this much to the City,, Mayor Nichols.
