agreement time. It was indicated that
there had been numerous delays on this
Mr. Flotten indicated to Council that a time extension had been granted
previously in this matter from March,1958 to March, 1959.
The question was raised by Council as to the matter of another extension
in a matter such as this as against the prohibitiveness of such a re-
quest in relation to tentative maps.
Mr. Williams indicated that there no restrictions on the extending of
time in relation to improvements that must be completed, and that this
is not an extension of time for a final map but an extension of time
for work to be done under agreement. Mr. Williams indicated that if the
bond to do this work is not released the extension of time would be
permissible and it was his belief that in the agreement there is the
indication that alteration and/or extension of time shall not release
said bond.
Motion by Councilman Heath, seconded by Councilman Pittenger and carried
that the request for extension of agreement time to install street
improvement in Tract No. 20199 be approved for the term of one year from
the expiration date, March 13, 1959, and under the stipulation that the
bond agreement for work to be done will parallel this extension of time.

Mr. Flotten stated that a communication had been received from
Mr. Harold L. Johnson, dated February 9, 1959, in relation to this
matter. Reference was made to the subject tract and the engineering
services performed and indicated that payment had not been received for
said services performed. It was stated that legal action had been
filed against the owner of the property and request was made to with-
hold acceptance of street improvements on subject tract.
Mr. Flotten stated this matter had been checked with Mr. Williams and
a request was made of Mr. Williams to state his legal opinion in rela-
tion to withholding acceptance as requested in Mr. Johnson's communi-
cation.

A resolution determining and declaring that weeds growing upon portions
of certain streets, sidewalks and certain private property to be a
nuisance and declaring the intention of the City Council to order the
abatement thereof at the cost of the property owner as provided by law.
THE ABOVE RESOLUTION DELETED FROM THE AGENDA
Mr, Dosh stated it had not been necessary to,place this Resolution on
this evening's Agenda as it was felt that a delay of two weeks,or more,
would be more advantageous in that previously there had been a tendency
to pass such a type of Resolution too soon and the program was under
way before it would actually do the most good in relation to getting
rid of weeds.
Councilman Heath stated that a discussion had been held in the past in
relation to the City going into the weed business and that it had been
suggested at that time that perhaps the City should charge a rate that
would be comparable to an outside contractor if the City did this work,
Mr. Aiassa indicated that there would be a report on this for Council
and that the City has two proposals at the present time and another one
which the State Division of Highways, Surplus Land Department, is arrang-
ing to use this year, Mr. Aiassa indi.cated.that it was his feelings to
get the City forces out of this weed abatement business.

"RECOMMENDATION. It is respectfully recommended that sanitary sewers
be installed in this district.
"ANALYSIS; This Department has made an investigation of the
Hollenbeck Street and Vine Avenue Sanitary Sewer
District A111-58-1, City of West Covina, as shown on the attached
map. During the course of this investigation 69 house -to -house calls
were made. Of this number 31 occupants were not at home or did not
answer the door. Of the 38 property owners or tenants actually
contacted, 14 or 36.8% reported having experienced trouble with
their individual subsurface sewage disposal systems. They complained
that the seepage pits filled up, causing raw sewage to back up into
the house plumbing fixtures or to overflow on to the surface of the
ground, also that frequent pumping and cleaaning eut -of- the seepage
pits are necessary.

"The soil'Within the area of this proposed sanitary sewer district
consists of heavy adobe and clay. This type of soil is not conducive
to the proper functioning of any type of individual subsurface sewage

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 recommend that

Councilman Pittenger: Are we duty bound to accept the lowest
bid? There is a $7.00 difference in the
Covina Equipment Company bid, yet it is
within range of our service department. Could that possibly be enough
reason to award them the bid?
Mr. Williams: If you find there is an offsetting ad-
vantage it could be done. You can
outweigh the difference in bid by what
you may feel is the offsetting advantage.
Councilman Heath: Did we call for this as a complete unit
or as independent articles?
Mr, Flotten: Either one or both,
Councilman Barnes: Is there any specific recommendation from
the Parks Department? What they might
prefer, the International Tractor or
Ford Tractor?
Mr. Dosh: This was a matter that was discussed
and there seemed to be no particular
preference. There was some indication
of liking the Covina Equipment Company because of its proximity, but it
was also felt that Ford parts might be easier to obtain when needed than.
International, Also, International had 6-ply tires while Ford has 4-ply.
Councilman Heath: If we are putting out invitations to bid

shouldn't be one of the determining factors.

Mr, Flotten stated that the record should show that notice of this
hearing was published in the West Covina Tribune on January 29, 1959.
Mayor Mottinger opened the public hearing and stated that all those
desiring to present testimony should rise and be sworn in by the City
Clerk.
Mr. Ea L. Benson spoke in favor, stating that he represented the Union
Oil Company Property Department.
My duty is to keep abreast and informed of rapidly growing communities
such as West Covina and to determine locations of service station sites
to serve the most number of people with the least number of service
stations. In an analysis during the past few months the forecast indi-
cates that by 1980 there should be 80,000 people in this area and that
by 1970 there should be some 38,000 cars going up Sunset Avenue and
•60,000 up Service. The Court House and Civic Center area pinpoint an
area of this particular need to the community. It might not be so
evident right now but the need is bound to be there,

• ZONE VARIANCE NO, 255, PRECISE PLAN NO, 154 - continued
Mr, E. La Benson - con roue o
We are aware of your plan to promote a good Civic Center and we
certainly are in accord with that and in view of that we attempted to
try to line up a service station site which is somewhat different from
our normal set-up. This difference is due to the fact of the wall
around it and the landscaping indicated. We are trying to make it look
better than the ordinary service station.
Shown on the Precise Plan is the view that would be seen from the Court
House and grounds and would not be from the front. This would give you
an idea of what would be seen from the Court House or Civic Center if
you were to look across the street at the service station site.
If this doesn't fit the requirements of. the Commission or Council we
are more than willing to work with anyone in the City to try to figure
out something acceptable to the City and to the Council. We are willing
to do that at any time,
Mr. Allen Hathcock of 2612 Larkwood Street, West Covina, spoke in favor.
I admire you present for the time and effort you are giving in service
to the City and the community. I am aware of the tremendous responsi-
bility you have in the making of decisions that are required of you, and
I respect your judgment and thinking in the performance of such duties.
However, I also believe and trust that you will respect our thinking and
actions in endeavoring to protect our rights and our property. Our
actions on this matter are without malice or criticism of anyone and
are solely for the purpose of arriving at an equitable solution of this
problem.
Since the inception of the zoning on our property we have accepted your
thinking and have endeavored to cooperate with you in this matter.
For several years my brother, Jim, and myself, at least since West Covina
started to grow, have been interested in the progress and growth of
this City. When we first came here to go into business we borrowed all
the money we needed and we have served the people, in a small way, in
West Covina for seven years. At first, when we started, the chain
stores were not interested in investing any money. One very large bank-
ing institution refused us a loan, even though we had borrowed at other
locations, stating that they did not believe.in the immediate future
of West Covina. However, due to hard work and to the growing community
we have managed to make a livings So I believe that our interest in
this community is as great as anyone's. I make these statements to
establish the fact that we are interested in the progress of this City,
and are not asking for any special .favors in asking for this zoning.
Before we purchased this property, at a high price, we investigated
the zoning and the necessary procedure to get firm zoning. This was
•then R-A, Potential C-2, and we were led to believe that it was only a
matter of procedure to get firm zoning and that was by submitting a
Precise Plan that would be acceptable to the Council. This we have
done on two previous occasions and were turned down even though the
C. C. 2-9-59

• ZONE VARIANCE NO, 255, PRECISE PLAN NO. 154 - continued
Mr, -Allen Hatheock - continued. -
Precise Plan met all the requirements for C-2 on the first try. On the
second try the Precise Plan was approved, but only for C-R zoning, If
a Precise Plan is acceptable for C-R zoning, which is highly restricted,
it should be acceptable for C-2 zoning. Up to the present time it has
taken approximately three years and this matter has apparently been
dormant since the last try. This, I believe, is due to the fact there
is some question as to the legality of the highly restrictive C-R zoning.
We tried to make this acceptable to lending institutions before consider-
ing loans. However, it has been almost impossible to secure loans with
a C-R zoning unless you were a wealthy man with ample security behind
you. At this time we have three qualified buyers but after investigating
with the City in relation to zoning and improvements that must be made
they have all become uninterested.
On several different occasions, during these hearings, it was indicated
that if we came up with something bonafide and ready to go the City
would go along. We believe we have a plan to enhance any development,
The Union Oil Company has gone all out and to considerable expense to
come up with a development to meet your approval. It will be a service
to people that are to travel in this area. It is essential and it is a
most logical corner for such a use. Plans are to front this only on
Sunset and to make the construction and the landscaping in such a way
so as not to detract from any future development.. The purchase price is
now on deposit with the Title Insurance Company of Los Angeles only
awaiting the outcome of this request.
With the personal investment we have made and the taxes we must pay on
this property, with the inability to improve it, there is being created
a severe handicap on us personally, and we feel that any further delay
on this matter will deprive the taxpayers of one of the busiest districts
in the San Gabriel Valley which would bring in many thousands of dollars
in taxes to benefit the people in the City and to help keep their taxes
at a minimum. There are many large concerns and small ones who would
like to locate in this area. I feel that at this point time is important
as there are other nearby communities that are available for large stores
and once a large store settles in another area business follows it and
we will lose out.
I realize your responsibilities in respect to this thing and I do not
believe it is your intention to create hardship on small people and to
make it impossible to protect their investment and rights. But I see
no way to protect that without the immediate cooperation of the City.
We appreciate the protection of the Civic Center but there is also an
obligation to the community to make available all of the City°s resources
for maximum returns.
We live h6re and like it. We have helped pioneer this area and have
invested money in good faith and in three years we have been unable to
get this zoning and it is creating a personal hardship. We feel the
C-R zoning discriminates between the poor and the rich man and only the
rich man can build in C-R zoning, Lending institutions will not lend

money on C-R toning unless there is a great deal of collatoral to back
it up. Meanwhile, this valuable property is laying dormant and could
provide a good tax return to the City. This could deprive the City of
possibilities and business would be going elsewhere. There is even the
possibility the Civic Center may never materialize as it is now planned.
Any future Councils may see fit to change the plans.
Mr, J. Hathcock of 1102 E. Garvey, West Covina, stated as follows:
I believe much of the subject has already been covered thoroughly by
Allen°s statements. However, I would like to add that as a taxpayer
and citizen of the United States I feel that in this particular
instance, after three years, that the type of zoning that has been
placed on this property places in jeopardy our property rights under
the Constitution and we ask you seriously to act favorably on this
matter.
There being no further testimony, the hearing was declared closed.

The Councils have to plan ahead because these developments do not happen
over night. The way I look at it, West Covina can go one of three ways.
They can supplement the City's income through industry, through commer-
cial or through financial centers. So far as industry is concerned, you.
can almost mark that out because of limited amounts of industrial loca-
tions, at least until recently. So far as commercial area of the Valley,
because of the way shopping areas are split up all over the City, it is
hard to accept that this will be a commercial center of the Valley.
That leaves financial centers. We have a good opportunity to make this
the financial center of the Valley and I think with the conversations
I have heard with -the committee in relation to this zone I would like
to see it develop into a financial center of the Valley. However, we
are restricting these people, penalizing them, by holding them down. We
are saying that they must design their property in ±elation to a Civic
Center that may be as much as 15 or 20 years away,'so maybe it isn't
feasible to have a financial center.
We had an.annexation recently, over the hill,,'which would be good for
industrial. Maybe instead of holding this area off with the hopes
there will be a financial center in the future, we ought to consider
supplementing our income in the City with industry and consider the
development of our annexation along the industrial line. However, I
think these people are being penalized.

favorable to having.thi.4p-matter referred to a study session to review
facts as of today, not six months ago and to find out if we feel about

Mr. Hathcock,
Mayor Mottinger: I believe we have a committee with
Councilman Barnes as Chairman who are
trying to solve this problem at the
moment,
Councilman Barnes: At this time there is no .report to make.
We did during "the time of this committee
contact Mr. Hathcock at the store, and
we also tried to contact each property, owner, as to what they would like
at this l.odation and gave a standard group of questions to be
answered. We did not fee?. we could resolve this question honestly at
that time because we were doing a survey of the City, which is in rela-
tion to Mr. Bennett ° s repots . -Mr. MdCann ° s report; hadn't 'come in
until just recently.
We were going to start the committee up again to try to work out some-
thing that would be satisfactory to the property owners and the City.
At the present time we have a joint meeting corning up with the Planning
Commission and I think possibly that some of these questions might come
up at this meeting and l: hesitated to call the committee back together
again until this joint meeting had taken place and possibly given us
some highlights on what might be done in this area.
I, like Councilman Heath, feel these people are being treated unfairly.
I read all the past Minutes on the C-R zoning and I, myself, do not
feel this is good zoning. I do not feel it is definite enough and
doesn't spell out exactly what can go into this location. However, I
would like more time to study with the committee on it and possibly
there might be some answers from the Planning Department.
I would like to ask that some consideration be given to this matter
at the joint meeting and then possibly have the committee come together
and study It.
Councilman Pittenger indicated that Mr. Williams had given a written
report in relation to this opinion on the legality of C-R zoning in
the area and it was indicated that if Council member -still had that
report it should be brought along for consideration at the joint meet-
ing of Commission and Council..

Councilman Brown: Some two years ago this C-R zoning was
studied and initiated by the Planning
Commission. I see the map was prepared
as C-R zoning but to my best recollection I do not believe this is C-R
zoning as we did not have the second reading for that zoning. I believe
this is still Potential C-2 zoning and not C-R because we backed off
under the opinion of the City Attorney in relation to the enforcing of
the C-R zoning, I think it is definitely time to do something about
this.
The only reason I wouldn't pass this tonight is that I feel there is no
actual Precise Plan, It is schematic drawing, but that is all,
Mayor Mottinger: I believe this should be studied fur-
ther and we don't wish to reject the
plan until further consideration is
given. I think we should try our level best to get an answer on this

desiring to present testimony should rise and be sworn in by the City
Clerk.
Frank Bo Bowker of 19874 Lorencita Drive stated as follows:
The Commission first approved our Precise Plan with conditions which
had not been explained to us by the different departments and in so doing
it shorted driveways to the extent the tenant did not have spaces for
speakers before the actual building was arrived at. When we realized
that end of the property was being left completely useless, and as a
consequence the Precise Plan as approved couldn't be utilized by the
tenant, we asked to have the plans amended to give a better use of. the
•property and for more extensive use of the property, we needed necessary
parking spaces. When that happened Mr. Williams ruled it was an appeal
and would have to come before Council for hearing. However, the
Planning Commission approved both plans.

PRECISE PLAN NO. 148 .m continued
Mr, M. Tew of 943 Blue Ash Road stated he had received no notice this
time that this was going to happen.
Mayor Mottinger questioned as to whether this had been properly pub-
licized and Mr. Aiassa answered in the affirmative.
Mayor Mottinger indicated that this was not a matter of zoning, but
only a matter of the Plan since the zoning had been approved, Anything
that is permitted in this zoning can be built in. this area provided the
plan meets with the approval of Commission and Council,
Mr. Tew asked if there was anything detrimental in this use in relation
to noise? And what was the use here?
Mr. Gerschler indicated this was a drive -through restaurant and a store
building. The drive -through would have a loudspeaker system that would
be used for ordering food from the car but there is no excess noise
involved at all. The uses indicated were both permitted in C-2 zoning
and the plan shows reasonable setbacks, traffic control and other
conditions.
Mr. Tew indicated he wasn't opposed to business going in but just was
wondering how much of a noise factor might be indicated.
There being no further testimony, the hearing was declared closed.
Motion by Councilman Pittenger, seconded by Councilman Brown and carried
that Precise Plan No. 148, as revised, be approved.
Mayor Mottinger called a recess. Council .reconvened at 9:00 Po M.

motion made by Councilman Pittenger and seconded by
Councilman Heath in relation to this matter, Councilman
Heath indicated as follows:
Councilman Heath, I seconded the motion on this matter and as a
point of clarification I would like to ask at
this time,,was it the intent of this motion that
there is any kind of promise or commitment whatsoever to change the
amount of this money at a future date?
Councilman Pittenger: No, I do not think so. We discussed this
possibility somewhat but we agreed that we would
have to bring it up during budget time but that
we could not commit ourselves. This motion was only authorization
to begin the authorized payments to the Chamber of Commerce. The
original agreement was that when they hired a full time manager,we
would pay $300.00 a month.
Councilman Heath: I am questioning whether we have intimated at
all that we will raise the amount of. $300o000
Councilman Pittenger, I do not think that we have done so by the
motion - made. -
Mr. Aiassa, It has been.noted that this would be a matter
that would resolve itself at budgetary hearings
of the Council. The amount of money authorized
was only budgeted on the tondit1lon of hiring a full time manager and
the present contract is in effect until June 30, 1959.
Councilman Heath-. There.is no commitment made for beyond June 30th?
Mr. Aiassa, No.
Mayor Mottinger: We could not contract beyond that time and we
would be in error if we did.

arrangement satisfactory_to both parties. Councilman Pittenger indicated
it would seem to be in order and Councilman Heath also felt that the
Chamber of Commerce should be backed wholeheartedly in any attempts they
would make for the betterment of the City.

REQUEST FOR REVISION IN Mr. Flotten presented and read the
CONTRACT BY.,HAROLD L,JOHNSON communication of Mr. Johnson, dated
MR. WILLIAMS REQUESTED February 5, 1959.
TO PREPARE A REVISED
CONTRACT In essence the requests were made in
relation to a minimum retainer of $200.00
per month for reimbursement of expenses
of certain routine operations, telephone consultations and conferences
in relation to practice with the City and which could not be fairly
listed or accounted for in records.
It was also requested that the clause binding both parties to a two
year period be replaced with a thirty day cancellation clause so that
the agreement can be terminated at any time at the convenience of either
party without cause.
Further request was made, due to increased union wages, that the office
rate per hour be changed to $6.20 and the three man field party to a
rate of $16.50.
Mr. Aiassa indicated he had no comment except to dire.-t Mr. Williams to
;prepare the proper instrument in relation to Mr. Vobnson,.and that a
joint meeting had been held on this matter.
It was consensus that Mr. Williams by requested to prepare a revised
contract in relation to the requests of Mr. Harold L. Johnson,
PETITION OF PROTEST IN Mr. Flotten presented and read the peti-
RELATION TO THE ACTION OF tion, dated February 8, 1959, relating
COUNCIL IN REFERENCE TO to this matter. It was indicated that.
THE RAISE FOR MR, AIASSA refusal to .raise the salary of the
City Manager seemed to indicate the
City Council was acting in bad faith,/
particularly since this provision was agreed upon by the City Counc'
at the time of Mr. Aiassa°s employment and by the understanding t}t
the sum of $650.00 had been included in the City Manager's budget to
provide for the 10% increase in salary. It was also felt that what has
taken place would establish the City with a poor reputation which would
make it difficult to obtain competent City employees in the future.
Mayor Mottinger stated that a personnel session would take place
.tomorrow, February 10, 1959, at the City Hall in relation to this
matter, taking place immediately after meeting with the Teen -Kan -Teen.

It was indicated the rest room costs would be a difficult item to

of the installation. It was indicated that Plans and Specifications
could be set up with an alternate bid for the rest rooms, and the City
Council can then decide whether or not additional facilities should be
provided at this time.
Councilman Brown: Who does this?
Mr,Aiassa: Mr, Harold Johnson.
Councilman Brown: Mr, Harold Johnson is a capable engineer
but there are some items that are shown
that are not necessary and will cost us
more money and are not as good. I refer to the item of the double
strength glass in the doors. Possibly this is something that should be
done by an architect instead of an engineer.
Mr, Aiassa: If the City Council. prefers to hire an
architect to prepare these plans I
want a direct'motion.from the City
Cou-A-el directing me to do so. No action on item,
Mr. Aiassa. We could proceed with Mr. Harold
Johnson to do the drawings and speci-
them before calling for bids° fications but have Mr. Thomas check
