DRAW UP PLANS AND Mr. Aiassa: What is happening is that
SPECIFICATIONS there is 10-feet of new construction
going in as noted in �ark green at the
bottom end of the map, and if it is
put in at the existing grade it will have to be ripped out at a later
time to bring it to the proper grade. The object now would be for us
to bring it to the proper grade and let them put in the new section
(indicated on the map) to the new proper grade so there would be'no
loss in effort or money. On.the other side of the street the improve-
ments are all in. The cost of City participation will be about
$3,400.00 - we have estimated $3,386.00.
I believe your action would be to direct the City Engineer to prepare
Plans and Specifications. If that..is done we will be able to see
how it comes out and what the value will be.
Motion by Councilman Mottinger, seconded by Councilman Pittenger and
carried that the City Engineer be instructed to prepare Plans and
�Specifications relative to City participation in lowering existing'
pavement adjacent to Tract No. 24923.

Engineer's Report. Held over from
June 22, 1959 for further study.
,Mr. Aiassa stated that the,Council had received the Engineer's report
on this. To Mayor Brown's question as to the estimated cost of this
participation, Mr. Aiassa stated that the amount of $10,000.00 had
been budgeted and the estimate cost is $7,143.12. Mr. Aiassa�stated
that the remainder of the report answered all the pertinent questions
,that Council had requested on this matter.
To the question of Mayor Brown as to whether this was justifiable
without putting in base material, Mr. Dosh stated that they will put
it in for us and that instead of rebuilding the entire 22-feet at our
(City) expense they will remove existing pavement and base the entire
project across the street and the City would pave the entire project.
The City will call for bids for paving and the subdivider will be
responsible for lowering and placing base in place.

Maps were presented:
Mayor Brown opened the public hearing and stated that all those desir-
ing to present testimony should rise and be sworn in by the City Clerk.
E. W. Nelson, speaking as a representative for the Standard Oil Company,
stated as follows:
Is I presented testimony before the Planning Commission at their hearing
on this matter and I would reiterate some of the reasons for our inter-
est in this particular location for a service station. I would like
to say we have only one reason for building service stations and
that is to dispose of our products at a profit,and that we have made
a careful study of this particular area and we feel that this is a
location at which we can do just that.' There are other reasons, also,
f or the development of a service station besides prof it which is f or
the convenience of the motoring public, and in this particular case
south of the San Bernardino Freeway and east of Glendora Avenue there
are no service stations that are handling our products. There are
approximately seven competitive stations in that area serving the
motoring public.
According to the figures, as a reason for wanting this use on this
side, the Los Angeles County Regional Planning Commission has come up
with approximately 46,211 people living in West Covina and of these
28,000, representing 60% of the people living in the West Covina area.,
live south of the Freeway. The Los Angeles Bureau of Municipal
Research indicates that the growth here in the next seven years will
be approximately 14,000 to 15,000 people and the major portion will
be located in this particular area south of the Freeway, because that
is about all that is left for development.
Our Company in the State of California - in seven western states -
enjoys 17.8% of the available gasoline sold. There are stations
located along the Freeway from Peck Road which have enjoyed more than
this 17.8%; compositely, it is about one-third more. This indicates
that our products are highly acceptable in this particular area to
C. C. 7"13-59- Page Twelve
Z.V. 280 and P.P. 81 (Anderson) - continued
Mr. Nelson - continued:
the mo�oring public so we feel that we can answer the first reason
for our interest in the particular area in that it would be profitable.
It would make our products available to a large segment of the popula-
tion located in this four to five square miles, with approximately
28,000 and an increase of 14,000 to 15,000 expected, to serve now,
We feel we can justify our service station in this particular area by
the very great acceptability of the people in this area to our products
by the successes we have had.
Mr. R. L. Anderson of 512 W. Heber, Glendora, spoke in favor as follows:
I would like to tie this in to justify this from the standpoint of
land use. I would explain this in relation to the difference in the
Precise Plan because that is what concerns4, the City as well as it does
me.
There have been no objections from those within the 300-foot radius
but I still feel this requires justification.
The existing Precise Plan of February, 1956, shows medical building,
McDonald's Hamburger Stand, a real estate office and a Chrysler -Plymouth
Auto Agency which was turned down at that time. At the time I requested
it, I made statements under oath that it was -not a speculation deal
and it wasn't. What happened was that in the roll of processing this
thing and putting up buildings something happened to the interest rate
on financing and the whole thing became impossible for me from the
standpoint of economics. The Hamburger Stand still has a lease and
can still be put in. However, at the time one of the persons protesting
raised "ned" about such a use going in because of it becoming a
"hangout" for hot rods, etc., and since that time I have changed my
mind on this and I feel that his objections were valid and that I 'was
wrong. It is not a good place for such a use. It would be a good
money-maker for me and my family, but it is not the place because the
traffic generated here since that time has become terrific. Whatever
goes on this has to be accessible so that vehicles get off the street.
A property owner bordering this area has recently added a swimming
pool and I do not believe that he would have made such an investment
in his property if he objected to this or felt it would be detrimental
to his values.
i
The present set-up has a Shell Station, Perino's Delicatessen and
part of this request is generated by a need of additional storage
space for Perinolls. #
One of the difficulties that you see on the maps Council has before
them is that the lines are lease lines. There are actually no obstruc-
tions and there is a'smooth flow on the whole property relative to
ingress and egress.

Z.V. 280 and P.P. 81 ( Anderson) - continued
R. L. Anderson - continued:
The buildings I am indicating are now70-feet from the property line
instead�of 40-feet as shown on the original. I believe this is a
better land use than the old Precise Plan, and even if the gas station
is not granted I would like to tky.to have this new Precise Plan
approved because I think it is a better and more logical, use for the
land.
There being no further testimony, the hearing was declared closed.
Councilman Heath:
Building "All, is that a motel in
there?
Mr. Anderson: Originally, it was a medical center
consisting.of 20 doctors, pharmacy,
restaurant with a banquet room and
12 Professional offices. At this time I haven't the faintest idea of
what it will be, but it will have to be something on the land in the
form of a building to fit in with any normal use on C-1 property.
Councilman Heath: From the building you indicated to
the rear of the property line you
stated 70-feet. I believe you might
have made an error, the figures wouldn't indicate it is that much.
Mr. Anderson: There is 70-feet on both sides.
Councilman Heath: I believe it shows 51-feet.
Mr. Anderson: Does that include sidewalk?
IJ-
Councilman Heath: It shows 51 and 49.
Mr. Anderson: Then i was in error, I thought it
was 70-feet on both sides, but it is
.still more than on the old plan.
Councilman Heath: I have yet to see a legitimate reason
for two stations so close together.
The one fact brought -out is that
there are only six stations south of the Freeway and east of Glendora,
but if you went a few hundred feet across the Freeway you could pick
up -six stations off -hand which would raise it to 12 stations or
possibly 13 in the area,.
As far as the station on the corner, they may not want to increase
their business, but I can't see another station so close to the
present one. I do not see that it will serve the community any better.
We have 43 stations in the City now. The people in the area are
perfectly well serviced and I do not think 62-feet more with -another
station is going to serve them any better.
C. IC. 7-13-59 Page Fourteen
Z.V. 280 and P.P. 81 (Anderson) - continued
Councilman Pittenger: If there are two stations, one'right
across the street from there, we
have the neighborhood stations taken
care of there. The other thing is have them so close together.
I think there must be another and better use for that property.' 'It may
look all right now but I hate to think of the type of precedent we
might be setting. We could have blocks of stations. It is -pretty
unusual to have a station in the middle of the block whenmost of them
are on corners. Maybe the Freeway ramp makes it practical but I do
not think that is our whole reason for considering this. It may be
a money-maker but we have to live in this town for a long time and I
do not think it is the right use for the property.
Councilman Barnes: I do feel that two stations in here
may be setting a precedent and I do
think we -should not have too many
stations in one area, even though the station does do A good business.
It may bea good healthy position for that particular station, but I
do not see why we should have two here and possibly set a precedent
for other stations to come in on other such turn-offs of the Freeway.
Councilman Mottingerz I think we are possibly overlooking
one fact which is possibly in favor
of this station, and that is there
is a similar situation to the Puente Avenue turn-6ff of the Freeway
for the Richfield Station being put in. They have been tremendously
successful.
It is also rather interesting to me that there hasn't been any objec-
tion from the surrounding people and it looks like it might possibly
be an acceptable situation.
I like the Precise Plan better than the other one we had from the land
use point of view.
Mrs. Van Dame: My daugher deals at the Shell Station
on the corner and she asked them
about this other station that might
come in. They indicated they couldn't take care of any more business.
They are already open 24 hours a day and didn't know what they were
going to do.
Mayor Brown: I will agree with Councilman Mottinger
in that I believe this is a.good
site for a gas station due to the off and
on ramps. Anything to develop this C-1. property, which we are over -
.saturated with, and to get it on as productive property rather than
have it sit there, deserves some thought. I believe this is a good
use for the land. It is not putting a gas station in the middle of
the block,due to the off -ramp.
So far as using the north side.of the Freeway -to obtain gas products,.
the Freeway is proving a natural barrier and people will just not
cross to obtain such commo.41ties.

Z.V. 280 and P.P. 81 (Anderson) - continued
Councilman Pittenger: I'm not saying it wouldn't make money,
.but I am saying we -can't think
entirely of whether it will be a
profitable business. Two stations that close together perhaps shouldn't -
be and we can't go and just start dropping service. stations here and
there, regardless of how much they are making.
Mr. Anderson:
Councilman Pittenger:
Mayor Brown:
If you'd rather have a Hamburger Stand
there, that use can still be placed
there.
That is not the point at,this time.
However, I think this is a better use
than the Hamburger Stand would be.
Motion 'by CouncilmanPit ' tenger, seconded by Councilman Heath that
Zone Variance No. 280 and Amendment to Precise Plan of Design No. 81
be denied.
Mayor Brown�, Before the question I would like tD
ask if we can deny Zone Variance 280
and delete from the Precise Plan of
Design that portion designed for the service station?
Mr. Gerschler-, I believe there is a technical point
here which might not be clarified in
the Commission's resolution. After
discussion by the Commission of the actual need for additional service
stations in the City, they got down to the basic question of a Zone
Variance; iloe.,the purpose and intent of a request for zone variance
being a judicial ruling as to certain specifications outlined in
State law. The defining of whether the application fits the State law
for Zone Variance and if it does they can approve andif it doesn't
they can deny. The Commission understood the close proximity and it
being in the middle of the block and t i hey did find that in the summation
of the testimony and hearings the conditions of the Zone Variance were
met and that they were obligated to grant the variance. I do believe
that the findings should be made from the point of the proper use of
a variance.
Councilman Pittenger withdrew his motion and Councilman Heath withdrew
his second to deny the Variance and the Amendment to the Precise Plan.
Motion by Councilman Pittenger, seconded by Councilman Heath and
carried, that Zone Variance No. 280 and Amendment to Precise Plan of
.Design No. 81 be held over for further study until the next regular
meeting of Council.
Mayor.'Brown called a recess at 8:55 P. M. Council reconvened at
9:05 P. M.
C—C. 7-13"59 Page Sixteen
Z. V. 280 and P. P. 81 (Anderson) continued
Mayor Brown., I would like to refer back to the
previous item of the Zone Variance
No. 280 and the Precise Plan 81 Amend-
ment. Would it be necessary for us to hold up the building addition
for two weeks?
Councilman Pittenger: If we *can't sp lit it we'll have to.
Mayor Brown: Is there any way we can grant that
building addition, Mr. Williams?
Mr. Williams: I suppose you could adopt that amend-
ment to the Precise Plan. Adopt that�
particular amendment requested and
hold all other amendments requested for your future action as indicated.
You could amend the Precise Plan as it now exists by allowing the addi-
tional 20-feet on the existing building �Perinols) and hold the re-
mainder of the applicant,'s request for future action. You can approve
less than the Commission has approved, and they have approved all of it.
Motion by Councilman Pittenger, seconded by Councilman Heath and
carried that the amendment of the original Precise Plan No. 81 permitting
an addition of 20-feet on the east end of the existing building
.(Perino's) be granted with further stipulation that all other requests
for amendments on the matter be held in abeyance.

C. C. 7-13-59 Pa I ge Seventeen
TRACT NO. 25012 (continued)
Mr. Gerschler: The reason for denial by Planning
Commission was that the Applicant
failed to appear and there was -a
drainage question.that should have been given further study. The
applicant and the engineer were notified three times to appear.'- They
did not, so the matter ran out of the statutory limit and the Commis-
siori had to dehy'or'it would be deemed approved. They did not want
to approve it, due to the drainage question, so they denied it. How-
ever, if the applicant or engineer is present this evening and desires
to reopen the matter, it would be my recommendation it then go back to
the Commission in order to discuss the question of.the drainage problem.
Maps were presented and the recommendations of the Planning Commission
were read.
Councilman Pittenger: I see no alternative but to follow
the recommendation of the Planning
Commission.
Mayor Brown asked if there was anyone present in the audience represent-
ing the applicant or Mr. Walsh. No one was pre . sent in relation to
this matter.
Mr. Williams: You have to act on this and if you do
not act on it within 10 days, or next
regular meeting, it is deemed approved
so you are in much the same position as the Planning Commission was in
if you do not disapprove it. If you could get the consent of the
applicant or his engineer you can extend the time. If the Commission
had been able to get the consent of the applicant they would not have
referred it to you. However, under the circumstances I would dispose
of it or else it is deemed approved.
Motion by Councilman Mottinger, seconded by Councilman Barnes and
carried that Tentative Map of Tract No. 25012 be denied according to
the recommendations of the Planning Commission.

Motion by Councilman Mottinger,

granted.
Councilman Barnes: Before the question, I would like to
know if it should be spelled out as
to what this temporary use is and for
just how long it should be. Whether this means until the hospital is
completed or not, Some temporary uses can�go on indefinitely if you
do not spell out how long the temporary -use is, as such.
Mayor Brown: I would consider that it will be used
as a temporary (�ffice until the
hospital is constructed, but if the
hospital drags over a year I doubt if it will be available to them.
Upon the question by Mayor Brown, the motion and second to grant
this request was unanimously carried.

APPROVAL OF CARNIVALS IN THE
CITY ONLY WITH OFFICIAL
SANCTION OF COUNCIL AT
REGULAR MEETI NG
APPROVED
Councilman Heath: The Council states
a policy and the City Manager can
carry it out. Is it necessary for
all of these carnival plans to -come
before Council in this manner? The
City Manager should have it come
before him and should.be able to
make the docision if it can be granted within the stipulations formu-
lated and can find out if his departments can take care of these re-
quirements. I wonder if this could be a burden to the people and to
ourselves in requiring it come before Council. I think it could be
done on an administrative level.
This could be done, but the last case
was a borderline case as to whether
it covered the intentions expressed
by Council. Was it charitable or not, and it put the City Manager
in a spot. It should be up to the Council as there will be times
when a paying group comes in here.

Councilman Pittenger:
Page Twenty -Five
I think it is up to Council too, And
this wouldgive anyone,plenty of time
to obtain their request.
To do it administratively would give
better.service to our commercial
districts than to have to require
maybe a.month's notice.
Maybe, but certainly two weeks isn't
too much.
Councilman Heath: What if they just miss that? If the
administrative level has a problem
they could call Council on it. I
don't think the City Manager would have too many problems.
Mr. Aiassa: Our crew worked very late on this
last one to see that everything
checked out. I hate to take on such
a liability and place it on the City if something goes wrong and maybe
someone is killed.
Councilman Heath: It is evident from the number of
requests that,we have had for carni-
vals that they are put cnin the spur
of the moment and less than two weeks. I think we should help our
merchants in the City and if they get business promotions from such
carnivals we should do everything to help them along and see that it
is able to be taken care of.
Mayor Brown: I believe.there has only been one
case of spur of the moment, the others
have been P.T.,A. and other such
organizations who didn't realize that they needed Council sanction on
such things.
Councilman Pittenger: I do.not disagree entirely with
Councilman Heath in relation to doing
it on an a.dministrative.leve-1, if the
City Manager is.willing, but this last..one was two'or three days'notice
and this way if there is no application two weeks ahead of time the
answer is "no". Most of these things are planned at lea'st that far
ahead but it's just that the trouble wasn't taken to come tDthe
City Hall.
I don't object to the City Manager
doing this on an administrative level,
,but I think it is putting him on the
spot.
