PUBLIC HEARINGS
The hour of 7:30 p.m. having arrived, said hour being the Hearing -
time fixed for the public hearing on the proposed vacation vacation of
of Santa Fe Avenue on portions of Lots 2 and 3 of the portion of
subdivision of J. J. Bullis 76.11 acre tract, the Mayor Santa Fe Ave.
asked for information concerning the hearing.
The Manager presented his report stating that the Council
,,..., delayed the formal hearing on the vacation of the existing
Santa Fe right of way through the Western Gear property
until a cost analysis had been made by the County. The
County has indicated that because Imperial, Fernwood,
and the Pacific Electric Railroad cross at one point,
any alignment on the easterly side of Western Gear
would require an underpass. The cost of an underpass
would be more than the purchase of right of way along
the present-alignment of Santa Fe and it would be
very difficult to provide any direct access to
Imperial or Fernwood if an underpass were built. The
report further stated that the County's preliminary
study shows a total cost for the existing alignment
to be $1,780,000.00. The cost to realign Santa Fe
along the easterly boundary of Western Gear would be
approximately $2,165,000.00. Because of the $385,000.00
savings and better provisions for traffic access, the
County recommends that the proposed vacation be denied.
The report also stated that the completion of either
route is financially far beyond the capacity of the
City of Lynwood.
The Manager`recommended that the City '.Council close
the hearing on the vacation of Santa Fe, make no order
vacating Sahta Fe Avenue, and maintain existing align-
ment as p_er the County Master Plan of Highways.
Councilman Duncan stated that the City should sell this
portion of Santa Fe Avenue to Western Gear.
The City Manager stated that if the City were to sell this
portion of Santa Fe Avenue to Western Gear, the City
would no longer receive gas tax money for this alignment.

newspaper advertising, special lunches, and professional
fees. The under-expenditures took place in such items as
welcome parties, the County Fair project, give-away items,
advertising in national publications, and the All American
City festivities. Administrative expenses actually used
were based on the total amount of money received by the
Chamber, rather than upon the amount of money expended
for approved projects.
~,,,,,,, The audit clearly indicates that the money spent was on
approved projects, but the problem is that it was not
spent in accordance with the budget submitted by the
Chamber and approved by the Council in July of 1964.
In the Agreement, signed by both the Council and the
Chamber at that time, a new stipulation was included
which provided the method whereby the City could
collect disallowed over-expenditures and administrative
expenses. Now, the City is empowered to collect
either a lump sum payment or deduct a pro-rated amount
from the monthly appropriation made to the Chamber
by the City.
The Manager recommended that if the Council determines
to grant the request of the Chamber, the entire concept
of the present Agreement be re-evaluated. He also
stated that it is quite possible that new developments
in the advertising technique for cities could be used
with success in Lynwood and a new agreement to reflect
these techniques would be warranted due to the poor
success that we have had with the existing agreement.
Mr. Norman Wasserman, representing the Lynwood Chamber
of Commerce, addressed the Council to state that the
reason for the letter and the request is that the
Chamber of Commerce's prior contract did not have a
stated pay back clause. This year is the first year
that the contract had a specific pay back clause and
that there is now a balance to be paid back to the
City.
Following discussion, it was moved by Councilman
Duncan, seconded by Councilman McMillan, that the
request of the Chamber of Commerce be set aside until
after a meeting is arranged between the Chamber of
Commerce and a representative of the City. All
members voting aye, the Mayor declared the motion carried.
REPORTS AND REQUESTS
A request from Jerry Mitchell and Ben Kolodzie for a
permit to sell blind made merchandise from door to
door in the City was presented.
It was moved by Councilman Duncan, seconded by Council-
man Smith, that the request for a permit to sell blind
made merchandise beginning October 15, 1965, and
continuing for a three month period be approved.
All members voting aye, the Mayor declared the motion
carried.
The City Manager presented a report on second hearing
on the establishment of a permanent R-2 zone for the
E1 Granada Avenue Annexation No. 1 (Planning Commission
Resolution No. 312). He stated that the Commission's
decision was based primarily upon the R-3 zone '
established in the City to the south of the subject
property and the existing R-2 surrounding the
annexation in the County.

Report on The Manager presented to the Council a report on the
request for request of Mrs. Ethel M. (Combs) Musser for a variance
variance at to construct three garages and a two-bedroom house in
3117 Oakwood an R-1 zoned area at 3117 Oakwood Avenue. The report
P. C. 313 stated that upon completion of the public hearing, the
proposed plot plan was studied in relation to the
existing zoning in the immeidate area, It was felt
that the request met the hardship requirement of the
zoning ordinance for variances, that it would provide
a logical transition from an R-3 to an R-1 zone, and ,~,,,,,
would not be detrimental to the surrounding land uses.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 313 recommending
the granting of the variance was approved unanimously.
The City Manager informed the Council that the twenty-
day appeal period will be completed on November 2nd,
at which time the Council may take formal action on
the Commission's recommendations.

request of the request of Robert B. Fulton and six others for

annexation to the Planning Commission, pursuant to
the zoning ordinance, for study. The Planning
Commission requests and recommends that the City

man Byork, that the Council concur in the Planning Commission's
recommendation to begin annexation proceedings.
