GENERAL MATTERS
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Mr. E. H. Lewis Several Months ago the City Council
offered to act as final judge in rela-
tion to an essay contest in the West
Covina High School sponsored by the Jewish War Veterans organization.
There were in excess of 1,000 entries this year, but in consideration
of the time available to the Council we boiled the number down to
thirty essays. We would present these thirty essays for your considera-
tion and we would request there be a first, second and third place
winner selected inasmuch as we have provided for these placement prizes.
This can be done at the convenience of Council.
Mayor Mottinger indicated that although it had been stated that the
judging of these essays could be done at Council convenience he felt
it was a matter that should be done as soon as possible and requested
Mr. Aiassa to have his Secretary catalogue these essays in the way of
dividing them among the members of Council so they could all be reading
some of them at the same time.
• Mr. Lewis: Within the past week I have had a little
project dropped into my lap from
Temple Sholom, one of the religious
organizations in the City. It seems they find themselves,in a predica-
ment financially and I have been asked to raise several thousand dollars
for them in the next month or month and a half. I would like to request
permission from the City Council to solicit merchandise from the retail
merchants and manufacturers in the City of Covina and West Covina to
be sold at an auction and bazaar, with the entire proceeds to go to
the Temple Sholom.
Motion by.Councilman Brown, seconded by Councilman Heath and carried
that permission be granted the Temple Sholom to conduct a bazaar and
auction to raise funds; that the permit fee be waived subject to the
meeting of the requirements of the City Manager and Police Department.

REMOVAL OF WEEDS - continued
Mr. Flotten stated that the record should show there has been received,
Affidavits of Publication of the notice of this hearing in the West, �.,"_.
Covina Tribune on March 5, 1959 and March 12, 1959 and in the Daily'''
Construction Sheet on March 2, 1959; and Affidavit of Posting signed
by the.City Engineer. It was indicated that up to this time no oral
or written protests have been received in the CityClerk°s office.
Motion by Councilman Brown, seconded by Councilman Pittenger and
carried that the Affidavits be accepted and filed for the record,
Mayor Mottinger stated that this was the time and place for the hearing
of any protests in relation to Weed Abatement in the City of West Covina
and that all those desiring to present testimony should rise and be
sworn in by the City Clerk. `
There were no protests forthcoming but a question was asked by, a.member
of the audience as to cost and it was indicated that the chargegwould
be what the City would have to pay for it and that bids received on
weed removal was the next item on the Agenda.
.Mr. Aiassa indicated the costs show on the bids and there would'pe a fee
for administrative handling also, the figures showing the cost as"to,
• bid and the administrative cost separately.
There were no further comments forthcoming -and the hearing was declared
closed.
AWARD OF BID FOR REMOVAL Bids were opened by the City Clerk as
OF WEEDS - John C. Warner advertised, checked for chertified
APPROVED checks, were publicly read by Mr. Dosh,
Assistant Public Services Director, and
referred to the City Engineer for review
and presentation to .the City Council at their regular meeting of March
23, 1959 at 8:00 P — M.
There were two bids received - from John C. Warner and Carbohad Corp.,Inc.
Mr, Aiassa: Written reports have been presented to
members of Council and after due con-
sideration it is recommended that
Mr. John C. Warner should be awarded the bid. These bids were opened
on March 17, 1959 and were duly advertised as per the attached sheet.
Councilman Barnes questioned as to whether the proper kind of equipment
would be used by'this contractor in order to do a good job, Mr. Dosh
stated there are only 6 or 7 contractors who do this work on a continu-
ous basis throughout the County and this contractor has done such work
for the State and many cities in the surrounding area. It would be his
opinion that if he wanted this work next year it would have to be
properly operated.. However, it was not known what his equipment was like.

Page Nine
Mr. Aiassa stated that the first pass would be examined and'then there
would be knowledge available of the type of work he would do.
Councilman Barnes indicated that it appeared to be necessary for a
City Inspector to follow this contractor around inspecting his work
and the comment in thereport was that he (contractor) would be in
several different places and it would be difficult to do the inspection.
Mr. Dosh stated that it was stated it could be difficult but he did
not believe there would actually be any difficulty as the inspector
would not have to be where the inspector was all the time provided he
knew where he (contractor) was working and the kind of work he was doing.
Councilman Heath: The administrative charges include wages
of this inspector plus the cost of
running this through the books?
Mr. Aiassa: Yes. There are so many parcels involved
that the cost isn't out of line. Also
we must send and post notices out in
the field. Last year we did the discing ourselves so there was not as
much need for detailed inspection. This year the inspector will have
to be out more in the field and we will keep a time card on him. Also,
we have to know if the contractor is doing a good job and if not we.
would have to ride him harder.
Councilman Heath: In this matter of fair charges if you
take $3.00, $5.00 or even go up to $6.00,
I think it would be equitable since there
is travel time back and forth and the inspection of the properties and
this includes the time to put charges on the right property. That would
use up an hour's time quite quickly.
Mr. Aiassa: We could run a trial basis on one piece
of property.
Councilman Pittenger: If it takes an hour for a man to inspect
one piece of property we should get
another person. I can't see charging
$6.00 as he can't just inspect one'lot, - he has to inspect others.
Mayor Mottinger: I think there will be a charge on all
the operation that goes into it but we
do not want to be in the weed removal
business and have it cost us money.
Mr. Dosh indicated that a report will be given,after the first discing
takes place.
Councilman Barnes stated that anyone should have the right reserved to
have a private company come in and do their own discing if they wish
to.

Councilman Brown stated there was a time schedule indicated -on this
matter for. April 1 and any time after that the City forces can move
in and remove the weeds.
Motion by Councilman'Brown, seconded by Councilman Heath that the
Street Supwintendent be ordered to abate the weeds in the City of West
Covina and that he and the City Manager are to enter into a contract
with Mr. John C. Warner to have this work done (and that all bids be
returned to the unsuccessful bidders)..

Approved by Planning Commission Resolution No. 703.
Maps were presented and Planning Commission Resolution No. 70�
• approving Zone Variance No. 262,was read.
Mayor Mottinger opened the public hearing and stated that all those
who desired to testify should rise and be sworn in by the City Clerk.
Mr. Pond, engineer for this project and representing the owners of this
property, stated that he had worked with the staff of the Commission
and particularly with Mr. Gerschler with the idea of developing a sub-
division that would be a credit to the City and that a street pattern
had been worked out that would allow a good development, but to do so
it was felt that it would be necessary to reduce the lot depths while
maintaining the lot widths throughout the tract. Basic lot size in
Area. District II is 68-feet width with 105-feet depth. The request
for this variance was because this subdivision is in excess of the
subdivisions already in the area and can be developed on the property.
There being no further testimony, the hearing was declared closed.
In discussion it was felt that due to the surrounding area being
developed on three sides into lots smaller than this, in the County,
there was good reason to grant this request which gives a good develop-
ment and yet gives it parity with the surrounding area.
Motion by`Councilman Brown, seconded by Councilman Pittenger and
carried that Zone. Variance No. 262 be approved, subject to the recom-
mendations of the Planning Commission and City Engineer,

Mr. Pond stated that dedication had been required of a 1-foot lot at'
the east end of Janetdale Street but that Janetdale is already a 60-foot
wide dedicated and improved street to the east of this property so that
the 1-foot strip is unecessary and desired it deleted.
Motion by Councilman.Brown, seconded by Councilman Pittenger and carried
that Tentative Map of Tract No. 16457 be approved, subject to the recom-
mendations of the"Planning Commission and City Engineer, with the stipu-
lation that requirement of dedication in Fee Simple of the 1-foot strip
on Janetdale Street be deleted.
.ZONE VARIANCE NO. 266 LOCATION: 1818 Workman Avenue,
J. Edmund Mayer between Azusa and Hollenbeck Avenues.
HELD OVER
Request to operate existing drug store
O in Zone R-P to include retail'.sales
allowed in Zone C-1.
Denied by Planning Commission Resolution No. 708. Decision appealed
by letter from Mr., Mayer dated March 6, 1959.
Maps were presented and Planning Commission Resolution No. 708 was read.
Mr. Flotten stated the record should show that proper notice of this
hearing.was published on March 12, 1959 in the Nest Covina Tribune.
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. Mayer, applicant, stated that at this time this is in R-P zoning
where only prescriptions from those doctors in .the medical building
can be filled and this works a hardship. This is not sufficient to
keep a drugstore going and at the present time the store area is empty.
He would like it changed to commercial zoning where other things
besides just prescriptions can be sold. It would relieve a handicap,
otherwise the portion of the building must be left empty.
There being no further testimony, the hearing was declared closed.
Councilman Heath stated that in the Commission meeting there was a
question as to.whether this should come in under a zone variance or
under a zone change to C-1.
C. C..3-23-59 Page Thirteen
ZONE VARIANCE NO. 266 - continued
Councilman Brown stated he was on Council at the time this zoning __._
was established and that rules were set up for along Azusa Avenue and
this was given R-P zoning. It was also indicated this is over=built
in that it is short 8 parking places forR-P zoning, and that if this
is broken down all the Area around it would be entitled to C-1 instead
of R-P, and would be opening the door for everyone else.
Councilman Barnes questioned as to the area of Lot 282 carrying C-1.
Mr. Gerschler stated that the property is R-A, potential R-P. However,
Councilman Barnes stated there is a variance for a used car lot on
Lot 282 and Mr. Gerschler indicated there was for one year only.
Councilman Barnes indicated he could see no precedent being set in this
case.before Council since there is already a variance for a used car
lot directly across the street.
Some discussion was held in relation to improper amount of parking
stalls but Mr. Gerschler said although there appears to be a shortage
of some 6 or 8 parking areas there is actually a joint use parking
area and that gives the sufficient spaces.
The City Attorney was asked for an interpretation in relation to
Section 1702 of the Zoning Ordinance, the requirement of which the
soapplicant failed to conform to and was thus denied his application for
variance by the Planning Commission. The -requirements of Section 1702
are as follows, as read by Mr. Gerschler:
1. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances
not applicable generally to the other property or class of
use in the same vicinity and zone.
2.. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by
other property in the same vicinity and zone but which is
denied to the property in question.
3. That the granting of such variance will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the
property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which
the property is located.
4. That the granting of such variance will not adversely
affect the comprehensive general plan.
Mr. Williams: There are two ways of permitting the
broader use, by rezoning or variance.
The variance is not to be used as a
disguise for rezoning and isn't proper to be so used and if it is
simply a situation that the property should be C-1 then the remedy is
to make it C-1. If there are good reasons in proper land use and
zoning practice why this shouldn't be Cal and as long as it isn't C-1
and kept in R-P or lower zoning, and it suffers some kind of hardship

because of a peculiar situation of what is around it or the size or,
shape, then raise it to economic ue by variance. This would indicate
a variance of limited use, not full use in C-1, but if it is no more
objectionalbe than anything in C-1 it would seem proper zoning to
change it. If you do not want everything as in C-1, yet feel relief
should be granted, then a variance is correct,
Councilman.Heath:
Councilman Pittenger:
Councilman Heath:
Mayor Mottinger:
If you restrict it to articles per-
tinent to drugstores, look what they
can get in.
If it is restricted to a pharmaceutical
drugstore there aren't enough doctors
in the area to support that type of
use.
Does this serve the doctors there (in
the building)?
It was open to the public but couldn't
sell to outside trade as products
were limited only basically to doctors'
prescriptions.
Councilman Pittenger: I..can't see that because the business:
hasn't been profitable is of immediate
concern. It is concern to the City
but I can't see that we can be in a position to give a man different
zoning that wouldn't turn out profitable business either. There are
other uses in R-P zoning besides a pharmacy and if you let down that
bar and grant C-1 you have many other corners along Azusa presently R-P
which could bring in cases for C-1 zoning,
Councilman Barnes: I do not think there is any reason not
to grant C-1. in a small section of a
building by variance for a limited time.
Councilman Pittenger: Let's not give C-1 under variance
disguise because if you grant C-1 by
variance you won't take a growing
business away a year from now.
Councilman Brown: The variance .calls for the whole piece
of property,
Councilman Heath: They could serve the whole neighborhood
in a pharmacy capacity now.
Mr, Gerschler: No, I believe the intention of the
Ordinance under R-P zoning is only
for prescriptions obtained from
doctors on the premises.

for variance of this type?
Mr, Williams:
Page Fifteen
That is pretty impossible,.
I would be in favor of permitting
sales.of all pharmaceuticals to the
public but not going to C-1.
I would favor a drugstore in just
that portion of the building where
pharmaceuticals were sold before but
Can you set aside a portion of the building
You can make that stipulation,
Councilman Brown made a motion to deny Zone Variance No. 266 and confirm
the decision of the Planning Commission, The motion failed for lack of
a second,
Councilman Pittenger: Is there any way possible for us to
give a decision to permit the sale
of pharmaceuticals to the general
public,but not in the general drugstore manner as zoned in C-l?
Mr, Williams: I think you could grant a variance
under this application that would be
more stringent than those applied to
,such use in C-1. You could indicate a drugstore in which would be sold
only the pharmaceuticals, soft drinks, comic books, etc., whatever you
think you would like to allow.
Motion by Councilman Pittenger, seconded by Councilman Barnes and
carried.that.Zone Variance No. 266 be held over for further study and
discussion,

on March 11, 1959.
Maps were
presented
and
the recommendations
were read.
In discussion it was indicated the possibility of getting improvements
on the 400-feet, beyond the 1300-feet., left out on the map. The City
Attorney indicated that since this in effect would seem to be a lot

split and a single owner and only a portion of the split lot is being
used as a subdiVision this possibly could be required.
Mr. Gerschler.indicated this was somewhat of a departure from usual
Council procedure on such matters and suggested this matter be held for
further discussion. Councilman Brown stated that this was also -a
departure.from the usual format in that it is leaving out this corner,
which is a bad intersection also.
Councilman Pittenger made a motion that this Tentative Map be held over
for further discussion as to improvements but the City Attorney indicated
that unless the subdivider consents this must be acted upon within 10 days
or.at next succeeding meeting.
Motion by Councilman -Brown, seconded by Councilman Heath that Tentative
Map of Tract No. 21480 be approved, subject to the recommendations of
the Planning Commission and the City Engineer, with the stipulation that
446-feet on Sunset Boulevard to Francisquito Avenue contain all improve-
ments with full curb return.
Councilman Pittenger: Before the question I'd like to ask,
is this a motion that can be acted upon.
. Councilman Browne Once this subdivision map covered
this whole piece of property and now
they are revising it.
Mr. Williams: I think it can. You are approving it
on certain conditions and one of the
conditions you always impose is that
they improve an adjoining street, although not part of the subdivision.
That is all you"are doing here. I think you could require this be
treated as a lot split if you wanted to and that is, in effect, what you
are doing. If it was all an original parcel you could treat it as part
of the subdivision under the lot split.
Councilman Pittenger: If it was under separate ownership?
Mr. Williams: I do not think you could do it if it
was under separate ownership.
Mayor Mottinger: The matter would indicate he is the
owner of the entire property so we must
consider he owns the whole piece of.
property.
Mr. ,Williams: This is no different than in order to
avoid expense he left a lot out and
marked -it not a part of the subdivision.
You could still make him improve the corner, couldn't you?
Upon the question by.Mayor Mottinger, the motion of Councilman Brown and
thesecond of Councilman Heath, as indicated, was carried.

In discussion there was some thought of whether these lots could
actually be developed as indicated and also that the figures arrived
at on the map did not seem to jibe.
Mr, Gerschler indicated that it was his opinion that if the applicant
or his engineer.were present perhaps more information could be gained
from them and he suggested that perhaps the matter be held over.
Motion by Councilman Heath, seconded by Councilman Barnes and carried
that Metes and Bounds Subdivision No. 135-153 be held over for further
study until next meeting of Council.
