commendable job she did as Mayor during the past year. Addi-
tionally, he felt another commendation should go to Councilman
Gillanders for serving on the JPIA. He puts in 10 to 15 hours
per week and has probably saved this City several hundred
thousand dollars because of his endeavors. He should be recog-
nized for his efforts on behalf of the City.

cial" recognition of her leadership and service while serving

A. LAS TUNAS DRIVE BEAUTIFICATION PROGRAM -
Providing background information, City Manager Koski stated
that City Council at their regular meeting on March 7,
1989, requested staff meet with the Revitalization Commit-
tee of the Chamber of Commerce to receive input on the
proposed tree planting program. Staff, with the assistance
of an arborist, made a presentation to the Revitalization
Committee. After a review of the proposed program, the
Committee approved the project. The proposed project would
utilize contract services to install 56 Ficus trees, root
barriers and tree stakes at a total cost of $20,000:

B. DISPOSITION OF BIDS RE: LA ROSA MAINTENANCE FACILITY
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 88 -4 -
City Manager Koski providing background information stated
City Council at their March 21, 1989 meeting rejected a bid
of $31,760 from Gary Betrue Construction because it did not
include the required bidder's bond. Atkins General Build-
ers also submitted a bid but said bid was received after
the specified deadline and, therefore, was not opened. Per
Council's authorization, staff re- published the "Notice to
Contractors" and solicited new bids. The second bid open-
ing was held on Tuesday, April 11, 1989 at 2:00 P.M. A
single bid of $48,000 from Richard Read Construction was
received and opened. Staff recommends the bid be rejected
pursuant to Temple City Municipal Code Section 2509 (d) due
to lack of competitive bids and the significant difference
in cost and the amount appropriated for the project in the
1988 -89 FY budget.
Councilman Atkins said he resented the fact that the bid
from Richard Read Construction was being thrown out just
because it was the only bid received. He did not feel this
was fair treatment. He also wanted to know who staff would
negotiate with.
Mr. Koski, in reply, stated they were experiencing diffi-
culty in receiving bids on this project. The concern is
that the amount is excessive as related to the Engineer's
estimate.
Councilman Gillanders expressed sympathy with the bidder;
however, it does not justify a 100% cost overrun.
Councilman Swain suggested perhaps Read Construction could
be contacted and some negotiating done with them.
Mayor Froehle agreed with the staff report and was not in
favor of accepting one bid that was so much higher than the
Engineer's estimate.
Councilman Gillanders moved to reject bid submitted by
Richard Read Construction for the La Rosa Maintenance
Facility Improvement Project and authorized staff to nego-
tiate a contract per Temple City Municipal Code Section
2509 (d); seconded by Councilman Breazeal and unanimously
carried, with Councilman Atkins' objections noted.

7. NEW BUSINESS:
A. PUBLIC HEARING: APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION
APPROVING PARCEL MAP NO. 20197, CUP 88 -956 AND ZONE VARI-
ANCE 89 -978 AT 8853 ELM AVENUE (SHUWA HWANG) -
City Manager Koski, providing background information,
stated that on March 14, 1989, the Planning Commission
approved Tentative Parcel Map No. 20197, CUP 88 -956 and ZV
89 -978 to allow the development of three detached condo
units on an R -3 zoned lot. The zone variance is to permit
the three garage structures to be situated five feet from
the side property line rather than the required ten feet
for the first story of a two -story structure. The dwelling
portion of each first floor level is set back the required
ten feet from the side property line and the second story
portion of each structure is set back the required 15 feet
from the side property line.
Councilman Swain moved that the correspondence received,
including two registered letters from the owner and tele-
phone calls, should be made a part of the record and
minutes; seconded by Councilman Atkins and unanimously
carried. Councilman Swain did comment on a statement made
in one letter regarding Council's denial of the five (5)
foot setback. Council has not heard this case prior to
this evening and has not denied anything.
Councilman Breazeal noted that technically six units can be
built on this site; however, he could not figure out how
six units could be built at this address.
Community Development Director Dawson replied that the
density would allow six units but considering the open
space and setbacks required, it would not be possible to
build six units at this site.
Mayor Froehle opened the public hearing and invited anyone
wishing to address Council on this matter to come forward
at this time.
Brian D. McKay, 554 E. Badillo Street, Covina, representing
the owner /applicant, asked Council if they had reviewed the
petition signed by neighbors in favor of this project and
was informed it is part of the record. The architect on
this project has worked closely with staff and tried to
incorporate staff's recommendations in an effort to make
this a viable project and a credit to the City. The present
structure is located three feet from the property line. The
Planning Commission unanimously approved the proposed
project. Mr. McKay felt it is an appropriate development
1

City Council Minutes, April 18, 1989 - Page 9
for the site and is relatively low density for an R -3 Zone.
The submitted plan was the best the architect could do and
includes adequate landscaping, parking, open space, etc.
Councilman Swain asked if the owner planned on selling or
renting these units. The City has had an ongoing code
enforcement problem with this property due to renting a
single family structure to three or four families at one
time. A long time has been spent working with the property
owner and finally the District Attorney to solve the prob-
lems and bring the property into conformance with Code. She
is concerned about this in the event the property is re-
tained by the owner.
Brian D. McKay, 554 E. Badillo St., Covina, said it costs
money to develop this type of project and the owner would
have a high interest in maintaining the property values. It
is his understanding the units will be rented to family
members.
Ti Ping Hwanq, 2443 N. Shores Place, Ontario, architect of
the project, briefly gave the background of this site and
the fact that a previous contractor submitted a plan for a
six -unit project requiring a variance because of the narrow
50' lot. Answering Councilman's Swain's concern regarding
the rental of these units, he could understand her feelings
because of the past problems. The owner and family will
live there and perhaps one unit will be sold. They are not
to be rental units. Answering Mayor Froehle, Mr. Hwang
said the square footage of two units is 1600 square feet
and one is 1800 square feet.
William Bretz, 8723 Hermosa, indicated he is familiar with
the street and it is a nice residential area. The existing
structure is a sore point in the area. Most properties in
this area have two or three units per lot. He did not feel
a 5' setback in this area would be a problem
Roberta Hoffman, 8803 Elm, said she lives about three
houses from the proposed project and it would be an im-
provement to the neighborhood and feels it is a good use of
the space available.
Shuwa Hwanq, 8853 Elm Ave, owner and applicant, stated the
three condominiums are for her family. They have worked
hard to improve the property. There were problems with the
property in the past but the title has been changed. She
feels it is an improvement for her family as well as the
neighborhood.
City Council Minutes, April 18, 1989 - Page 10
As there was no one else who wished to address this sub-
ject, Councilman Breazeal moved to close the public hear-
ing, seconded by Councilman Gillanders and unanimously
carried.
Councilman Atkins stated he does not have strong feelings
for or against the project per se. The project requires a
setback variance and he just cannot make the findings
required to grant a variance. On this basis he is opposed
to the project.
Councilman Swain disagreed with Councilman Atkins and felt
the garage with no windows facing the neighbor's property
and located 5 feet from the property line would not be a
detriment to the neighbors. All of the living space would
conform to Code. With a 50' lot, she felt they would have
to consider the need for the proper width driveway and the
turn radius. This particular type of construction allows
the applicant to build livable units large enough to accom-
modate a family and not just the undersized type of homes
that would be used for rentals. In an R -3 area with a 50'
wide lot she would be willing to allow this variance.
Councilman Breazeal expressed his concern that a zone
variance is becoming more of a right than a unique excep-
tion. Certain definitive determinations must be made to
grant a zone variance and one is they must find that the
site for the proposed use is adequate in size, shape and
topography and obviously the applicant cannot meet the size
requirement without a zone variance. Therefore, he cannot
make that determination. Many applications for variances
have been denied for 50' lots because the findings could
not be made. The fact is the owner cannot build what they
want with this size parcel. The hardship is imposed by the
owner not the parcel. He cannot find the required determi-
nants for granting a variance.
Councilman Gillanders stated Councilman Breazeal covered
many things he had in mind. His first impression is that
anything is better than what is there presently. He has
difficulty is seeing why this should be granted a variance.
He cannot see why this lot is unique. There are plenty of
50' wide lots in town. His biggest single objection to
granting this variance is the precedent it would set. The
density has been reduced and the setback requirements have
gone up with the idea of maintaining relatively low density
in the community. Every time a method is enacted to reduce
density and maintain the quality of living in the commu-
nity, enterprising engineers and architects come up with a
way of still fitting more on the property. He is opposed
to the idea of the variance rather than the project. The
more variances granted the more difficult it becomes to
deny one because each one in effect becomes a precedent.

City Council Minutes, April 18, 1989 - Page 11
Mayor Froehle concurred with what has been said by Council.
He complimented the architect and applicant on the design.
He referred back to the General Plan update when they heard
throughout the community to not only reduce density but the
appearance of density. In response to this many study
sessions took place to come up with an ordinance to reduce
density and the appearance of density and that was on
two -story structures you have a 10' foot and a 15' setback
to reduce the appearance of density. He encouraged the
applicant to modify the request and bring the garage back
5' and be in compliance with the ordinance. Exceptional
circumstances do not apply because there are many 50' wide
lots in the City.
Councilman Atkins reiterated they are not denying the use
of the property but there are plenty of options that would
not require a variance. He suggested the applicants go
back and review the plan and arrive at a plan to meet their
needs and still conform to the code. Councilman Atkins
then moved to deny Tentative Parcel Map 20197, Conditional
Use Permit 88 -956 and Zone Variance 89 -978 because it fails
to meet the statutory test for granting variances and
conditional use permits, seconded by Councilman Breazeal
and carried on a roll call vote as follows:

NOES:
Councilmen Atkins, Breazeal, Gillanders, Froehle

B. PROPOSED SERVICE CONTRACT - SALES TAX MANAGEMENT -
As background information, City Manager Koski stated that
staff recently completed an analysis of Sales Tax Revenue
for the past five years on Block B businesses. In review-
ing sales tax sources, some businesses seem to have peri-
odic fluctuations which should be investigated. With the
importance of sales tax to the City, a program where the
receipts on a monthly basis are monitored, tracked and
compared with prior months and prior years will aid the
City in being sure it receives all its rightful allocations
from sales tax revenues.
Councilman Atkins, citing an example of what can happen,
when they checked on one store and the status of the sales
tax and found the store straddled three city lines and the
county line of two counties so after a survey a new formula
was developed to allocate the sales tax revenues to five
entities.
City Council Minutes, April 18, 1989 - Page 12
Councilman Swain also cited an example from the City of
Monrovia and the sales tax revenue gained in the first
year.
Councilman Gillanders moved to approve contracting services
with Hinderliter, de Llamas and Associates, effective May
1, 1989; amend the 1988 -89 FY Budget by $600; sign the
Agreement for Sales Tax Audit and Information Services and
adopt Resolution No. 89 -2855 authorizing certain City
Officials and a City Contractor access to Sales and Use Tax
records; seconded by Councilman Atkins and unanimously
carried.
8. COMMUNICATIONS: None
9. TIME FOR THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISH TO SPEAK: None
Councilman Atkins moved to adjourn to the CRA, seconded by
Councilman Swain and unanimously carried.

10. ACTION ON REQUEST BY CRA: None
11. MATTERS FROM CITY OFFICIALS:
Councilman Breazeal introduced proposed Urgency Ordinance No.
89 -648U. This has not been previously listed on tonight's
Agenda but suggests an interim zoning ordinance to establish a
moratorium on certain multiple family residential developments
in the R -3 Zone. Also, included is a proposal regarding
driveways for subterranean parking. Because there are a number
of these pending and there have been problems, Councilman
Breazeal moved to determine this a matter of urgency.

City Council Minutes, April 18, 1989 - Page 13
City Attorney Martin stated this would require a roll call vote
declaring the urgency has come up in the last 72 hours and
Council wishes to consider the matter.
ROLL CALL:
AYES: Councilmen Atkins,Breazeal ,Gillanders,Swain,Froehle
NOES: None
City Attorney Martin said having passed by four - fifths vote,
Council may discuss the merits of the motion.
Mr. Koski gave a brief report, stating last evening the Council
at a properly noticed meeting held a study session with the
Planning Commission for purpose of discussing a variety of
planning and land use issues; one of them being the R -3 Zone
and density and the prevalence and continuing difficulties
experienced with subterranean parking. Also, with the devel-
opment of multi- storied buildings the natural grade is being
altered and impacting the neighboring property and several
other issues concerning the density were discussed.
In order to give the Planning Commission and the Council an
opportunity to look at some possible revisions to the R -3
Development standards, the Council is considering a moratorium
on those projects that would fall in the category of (a) Any
project which exceeds a maximum residential density of 18
dwelling units per acre; (b) Any project which provides less
than 2400 square feet of land area per dwelling unit; (c) Any
project which proposes subterranean or semi - subterranean park-
ing; (d) Any project which proposes excavation, grading or
mounding of earth so as to change the existing grade by more
than 18 inches or result in a Building Code requirement for a
retaining wall and (e) Any three -story or three -level residen-
tial project which does not comply with the Los Angeles County
Uniform Building Code requirements for a three story building.
The moratorium would initially be for 45 days and Council would
have the option of extending it.
Councilman Atkins moved to adopt Ordinance 89 -648U, AN INTERIM
ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY
ESTABLISHING A MORATORIUM ON CERTAIN MULTIPLE FAMILY RESIDEN-
TIAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IN THE R -3 ZONE OF THE CITY;seconded
by Councilman Breazeal and carried on a roll call vote as
follows:
ROLL CALL:
AYES: Councilmen Atkins,Breazeal ,Gillanders,Swain,Froehle
NOES: None
City Attorney Martin stated Ordinance 89 -648U passed by four -
fifths vote as required.
City Council Minutes, April 18, 1989 - Page 14
Councilman Swain mentioned the Foothill Transit Zone meeting to
discuss leasing office space in the Eastland Tower. She also
mentioned the Executive Board acted on awarding the manufacture
and lease of 30 buses to Gillig Corporation and the proposed
plans to take over other lines being released by the RTD. She
requested City Manager Koski to get a copy of AB2009 for re-
view. This draft legislation by Assemblyman Polonco will
negatively affect all transit zones.
Councilman Gillanders brought up a request from the Los Angeles
County Library Central Committee and the Librarian for Los
Angeles County for cities that have a County Library to make a
proclamation naming this the year of the young reader and he
would like to have that proclamation. Councilman Gillanders
also informed Council that the library would be closed for ten
days in June to convert over to bar coding.
Mayor Froehle mentioned that Temple City is patrolled by the
Sheriff's Department and the Captain at the station assigns a
Lieutenant as liaison with each of the cities. Temple City is
very fortunate to have as the new liaison officer a long time
resident of Temple City, Lieutenant Phil Bullington, who just
returned to Temple City substation. Council expressed appre-
ciation to Lieutenant Torrez for his past service as liaison
Lieutenant.
