odate 284 plus 24 stool spaces, determined 79 parking spaces
would be required for that occupancy and at the present time
there are none for off- street parking and they would be depend-
ent upon on- street parking and the 25 spaces in the city lot
in the rear and for this reason of inadequate parking recommend-
ed denial of the license.
The Parks E Recreation Commission looked favorably upon the
application with certain restrictions regarding the possible

should not have the atmosphere of a saloon.

Mayor Tyrell opened the Public Hearing; and requested every one
in the audience who wised to speak either for or against this
request to stand and be sworn in before giving their testimony.
A large number of people in the audience stood up and took the
oath administered by Mayor Tyrell.
The Mayor then asked for those who wished to speak in favor of
the license request.
Mr. Anthony Filardo, 1414 So. Tenth Ave., Arcadia, one of the ap-
plicants, spoke in support of the license request, and informed
the Council of the type of operation he proposed as follows:
ages must be 18 and under 21 yrs. of age,
cannot smoke on dance floor,
must be dressed properly,
and he advised the Lounge would be primarily for dancing, serv-
ing only pizza, to prevent noise nuisance the back door would be
closed and used for emergency only, identification cards such as
driver's licenses and draft cards would be checked for age proof;
there would be a $1.00 cover charge and no one can leave and come
back in without paying another $1.00, all entering will be check-
ed for drinking or possession of alcoholic beverage, entertain-
ment will be dancing with a 4 or 5 piece band provided, open
from noon week days and later on Sundays, until 2 A. M., will
have a patrolman on duty inside, also a parking attendant with
supervision by approximately three inside the building. He ad-
vised the building construction is adequately sound proof with
acoustical tile on all but 4 ft. of the lower part of the build-
ing. They plan to use the City parking lots in the rear of the
building and ,)ossibly the bank parking lot on Camellia and on-
street parking. He advised they would comply with any restric-
tions and requirements the City wished to impose.
Mr. Filardo was questioned by the Council at length regarding the
proposed operation as well as previous locations where Mr. Filar -
do had been in business, which were eating establishments with
beer licenses also.
Mr. Dennis Townsend, 9186 Jaylee Dr., Temple City, a student
at L. A. State College, appealed to the Council for a place of
this nature for this age bracket who are out of High School,
and many college students. The following people spoke in favor
of granting the license:
Bill Martin 81221 Ardendale
Nina Cash, 6133 N. Loma Ave.
Bill Mattinson, 5327 Cloverly
Ida May Anderson, 5559 Rosemead
as well as Joseph Buccola, 9033 Key 'West, the other applicant
for the license.
No one else came forward at this time and Mayor Tyrell requested
those opposing the issuance of the license to now address the
Council.
Rev. Charles Hamby, 5956 Golden lest, spoke in opposition to
the license being granted, and advised the local Ministerial
Assn. had circulated petitions in opposition which was present-
ed to the Council with 1855 signatures. He advised his church
(Methodist) planned to have dances with a dance band regularly.
He advised he with several others made a tour of other similar
operations, including the Cinnamon Cinder. He stated we have to
regulate our town according to the citizens that live here.
Rev. Lyman Ellis, 5453 McCulloch, requested the petition submit-
ted be made a part of the record. Councilman Merritt so moved,
Councilman Nunamaker seconded, and carried. Rev. Ellis also
advised he had personally invited Mr. Filardo to appear before
the Ministerial Assn. at their meeting before the petition was
prepared which Mr. Filardo failed to attend.
358
Council Minutes, October 22, 1562, page 6
Mrs. Helen Achilles, 112 N. Del Mar, San Gabriel, Council -woman
of that City, stated she felt due to the municipal boundaries of
the two cities that this was a mutual problem. Also inasmuch es
they had a similar experience in their City that she had fam-
iliarized herself with the operation of the Peppermint Stick and
similar operations. She also stated it was her feeling that
very adequate areas can be provided under a "canopy where $'s
are not the chief concern."
Mrs. Lilly Gilley, 6153 N. Oak, spoke representing the Jr. Wom-
ens Club, also in opposition to this request and recommended
a Youth Center such as Monterey Park and other cities have
through the Recreation Department.
Mayor Tyrell stated a letter received From Mrs. Gilley substan-
tiating the above presentation will be made a part of the record
Bob Rudolph, 5811 Miloann, felt if this was to be a sheriff's
problem he was against it, but wanted to go on record as believ-
ing in Temple City. Mrs. Jos. Lang, 9133 Hermosa Dr., wished to
go on record as opposing this establishment.
As no one else came forward to speak so the Mayor stated this no%
was time for rebuttal for those in favor of the petition. The
following people spoke in favor of the grantine of the license:
Judy Lindberg, (-2'32 E. Nadine, Joseph Filardo, one of the appli-
cants, Larry Lindley, 5329 Temple City Blvd., Ronald Newton,
6012 N. Camellia, Al Lindberg and "Pop" Gunst, both of the ParkE
& Recreation Commission spoke strongly in favor of the "young
adults" and their need they have for a gathering place to dance
and get together. Mr. Lindberg objected strongly to the infer-
ence that such an operation would bring in "undesirables as he
felt the youth in the surrounding areas compared favorably with
Temple City youth and as such should not be so labeled. Mr.
Gunst entered a strong plea that something be done for the youth
which he had been trying for a number of years to do, without
receiving the necessary community support.
The rebuttal for the opposition was given by Kenneth Dunkelberge.
Pastor of the First Baptist Church of Temple City. Rev. Lyman
Ellis, Rev. Hamby and Arley Gorham of 5039 Encinita Ave., all
spoke in opposition re- affirming their previous objections to
issuance of a license.
Richard Sale, 5427 E. Olive, a Commissioner on the Traffic Com-
mission explained that the recommendation from that Commission
was made as they Felt it a safety problem, and under the exist-
ing conditions felt it an unsafe problem in regard to parking
and safety considering the number of people brought into the
area.
Robert F. Connelly, 6033 N. Camellia, reminded the Council
of the difficulties with the soda fountain across the street
not too long ago.
City Manager ,!oollett for the record read names of organizations
and individuals who had written in opposition:

359
Council Minutes, October 22, 1962, page 7
Councilman Dickason stated it was his judgment that the parking
situation is enouc.h in itself to deny this request for a license
He stated he did not want to see our youth exploited by private
enterprise or anything else and in his judgment this request
should be denied.
Councilman Nunamaker felt the Council should be cognizant of the
petition submitted with over 1800 signatures, and agreed with
the opinions of Councilman Dickason.
Councilman Fitzjohn advised he is trying to do what he felt
would be in the best interests of the people of Temple City. He
does not believe this establishment to be good for Temple City
at this location or any other and made the motion that the ap-
plication for a license for eating and dancing at 9661 Las
Tunas Dr. be denied, Councilman Nunamaker seconded.
Councilman Merritt stated he felt if we can call upon this age
bracket to fic;ht for our country and put them in areas certainly
not by choice, and far less desirable than he believed this plac€
could be. He felt there is a need for something for this age
group. He was in favor of private enterprise for the operation
and only because of the basis of the traffic recommendation
would agree to denial of the application.
Mayor Tyrell stated the City Attorney had recently advised the
Council to make their decision on the facts, and the facts must
be the basis for a decision. This advice was solid From the law,
A need has been definitely established to have such a facility
available for this age group as well as other age groups in the
City. He agreed with Councilman Merritt that when private enter-
prise can provide adequate facilities it should do so in opposi-
tion to having; the government agency do it. The City can exer-
cise appropriate controls so the establishment can be properly
run. As for singling out youth of other cities and indicating
they are bad because of this establishment, they come into this
City for other things, but we single them out for this particular
application before the Council. The sole reason for denying it
is that there is not adequate parking at the location which is
sought, which parking facilities he 'believes are essential to
this particular type of establishment and for this reason he
would be in opposition to this request to grant the license.
