Frank Bandy I don't have too much to say at this
time. I am sure this doesn't clear up
the problem on this property. It's
irregular in shape. This won't leave me a profitable piece of pro-
perty at all. We have to conform to street alignments and at one time
this left my property in good shape but not now.
There being no further testimony, the hearing was declared closed.

Inopposition
Frank Bowker Mr,.Gerschler, do l understand that
this does include the extension of
.Walnut Creek Parkway from Vincent to
Glendora?
Mr, Gerschler: Yes, that is right.
Mr. Bowker: I Thought it did. The property I have
is east'of'the Vincent Avenue extension
and it would practically take all or
most of it. We will have to work a deal out on that. It would crucify
my property.
Mayor Brown: I don't feel we have to have any further
discussion on this since we only secured
these maps last Friday. There being no
further testimony, I think we should close the hearing.
Councilman Heath: This needs quite a bit of study. I have looked at
some of these and I cannot understand the reasoning on them. Maybe
there is -something here that I can't see. I think we should study
this.
Councilman Pittenger: I would like to do that too. I would
like the Planning Commission in on
this, too
Motion by Councilman Heath, seconded by Councilman Pittenger that the
decision on Proposed Amendment No. 30 be held over and set up for a
study meeting with the Planning Commission for further study. Motion

(From audience)
Mrs. Hammer: In the Wednesday night meeting it was
recommended that I talk with Mr. Dosh
or Mr. Gerschler.
Mr, Aiassa:. We might ask how many in the audience are
interested in the, annexation.
Mayor Brown.-. (Asking for those.living-within the Pro'
posed area who were in favor of annexing
to please stand - then after this he
asked for the ones who were against or in opposition to annexing to
please stand) Approximately 13 to 6 was the count in favor.
Mayor Brown stated there would be no public hearing at this time but he
would open the matter up for discussion.
C.. C. Cheeseboro
® 19542 Arroyo Avenue. The place where I live is or will be the
southeast corner of Grand Avenue and the
Freeway when Grand Avenue is put..
through. I have lived there 12 to 14 years and we have been in the
County and we have been satisfied with the way everything has been going. -
Now in recent years there is a number of "johnny come latelys and.
stuffed shirts" that have moved in and they have been trying to incorp-
orate. It seems every time you turnaround you have to fight these
people on this incorporation deal and it just makes one sick and tired.
We have beat them three or four time and after the last time we beat
them they filed again in September of last year. Their_ request for
incorporation was beaten by a larger vote of property owners. They
were not satisfied with that and one week later they filed a notice of
intention to incorporate again. You fellows know what they think of
the people in West Covina and I certainly don't feel that way and I
never have. Now at that time some of us had petitioned for annexation
to West Covina, that was in September of last year, and I think, we should
be getting some action on that request.
Mr. McDoud I live on the south side of Holt and I
._have heard Cheeseboro before. I would like
to take exception. The incorporation
matter has never gone up for vote.....
Mayor Brown.reminded the audience that this was not a public hearing.
• Mrs. Hammer:
Well, I talked with Mr. Gerschler and I
told him...,,
Mayor Brown again reminded the parties that this was not a public
hearing.

Mrs. Helfrick: I have been here before-- It is true that
most of us want to annex.
Mayor Brown again reminded the parties for and against this -issue;;:that- -
this was not the time nor the place for a public hearing. From all -indi-
cations he felt it would be feasible to study the situation -and proceed
from that point. You will be notified by mail and the newspapers as,well
if and when we decide, and the notice of the time and place of the public.
hearing will be mailed to you and it will also appear in the daily news-
paper. There will have to be a petition circulated before we can
straighten anything out on this. -
Mr, Gerschler: There are informal petitions on file.
Mayor Brown:, There would have to be new petitions
circulated,
ZONE VARIANCE NO. 217 Communication from Mr. Ned Gilbert dated
Precise Plan of Design June 2, 1959 requesting permission to
"No. 168 (Ryder) build R-3 first instead of R-1.
fihe City Clerk read the communication from Mr. Ned Gilbert.
Mr. Aiassa: R-ls are to be in first, aren't they?
Mayor Brown: Or concurrent. What is your thinking,
Mr. Barnes?
Councilman.Barnes: I heard the Planning Commission recommen-
dation. The reason that the R-ls were to
be developed first was that at some later
date they couldn't come back and ask that these R-1 lots be zoned R-3.
They didn't feel we should developeR-3 unless R-ls were developed first
and I agreed with them.
Councilman Mottinger: I have the same opinion. We should go
along with the recommendation as passed.
Mayor Brown: I can go along with R-1 on Larkwood Street
but the second, I see no necessity of
building those prior to the apartments.
Motion by Councilman Barnes, seconded by Councilman Pittenger and carried
that the request contained in the communication from Mr. Ned Gilbert on
Zone Variance No. 21? and Precise Plan of Design No. 168 dated June 2,
1959, be denied.

GENERAL MATTERS
ORAL.COMMUNICATIONS
HUNTER & BURTON
Mr. Burton: Approximately three months
quit claim deed
ago my partner and I made application -
for a building permit and about one month
later all conditions were complied with.
Our builder came down to get the permit
and was instructed that the
permit could not be picked up at that time.
Now I have just received this
letter from Mr. .Williams, your City
Attorney. Laughingly,I will
have to say, that six weeks ago we agreed
that if our building permit
could be issued we would make.the dedication
that is referred to and that
we would close the present openings along.
the service road and the main
part of Glendora Avenue. (Discussion
continued)
The City Clerk read a written communication directed to Mr. Howard C..
Erickson and signed by Harry C. Williams, regarding Hunter & Burton
quitclaiming the service road to the City along the entire frontage of
their property on the west side of Glendora south of Garvey, including
the existing building, but excluding the two feet or more or less which
the building encroaches upon, install electroliers along the entire
frontage and close the present openings between the service road and
the main part of Glendora Avenue.
Mr, Aiassa requested the quit claim deed be delivered and he would
have the building permit issued. Mr. Burton felt that this position.,.:
was not one which he wanted to place himself in as he did not desire..
to make the dedication of the land which he had already told the City, .
would be dedicated and which he intends to dedicate anyhow, a requisite
for the issuing of the building permit.
_After further discussion, Mayor Brown recommended to Mr. Burton that`he
prepare his own quit claim deed and deliver it to the City and the
building permit would be issued.
Mr. Burton: If that is all there will be to it, I will
. do it that way then.

WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS

Ordinances 563 and 564 which regulate the use of -signs in the City of...

Air Force. Association by the. American Legion, Veterans of
Foreign Wars, Jewish War Veterans and.
Disabled .Veterans, directed to the City
of West Covina requesting the permit issued.to the Air Force Association
to sell fireworks be revoked,
Mayor Brown opened the matter for discussion.
There was much discussion among the Council members regarding various
phases of this resolution as to whether or not the Air Force Association
had been holding regular meetings or temporary meetings and whether or
not they should reconsider letting the Air -Force Association sell fire-
works in the City of West Covina, It was brought out that they had been
turned down in Baldwin Park, that there was not sufficient information
furnished to let Council members know the status of the organization'.at.
the present:time, and generally the situation did not lend itself as
being a favorable situation for the City to consider this year, Mayor
Brown suggested that the Ordinance which had been read to them=du`ring.:
the course of this discussion be studied and.that it was now time that
the ordinance be checked to see that it stated exactly what it was in-
tended to state at'the time it had been written. That he felt that with
this situation existing and in order to adhere to the ordinance°'the.City
would not be able to let the Air Force Association sell fireworks in
West Covina this year.
Motion by Councilman Pittenger, seconded by Councilman Mottinger, that.
