Mayor Pro Tem Briggs called the adjourned meeting of the City Council to order at 7:30 P. M. followed by the Pledge of 2. Allegiance to the Flag led by Mayor Pro Tem Briggs. 3. ROLL CALL: PRESENT: Councilmen - Harker, Merritt, Tyrell, Briggs ABSENT: Councilman - Beckley ALSO PRESENT: City Manager Koski, City Attorney Martin and Planning Director Dragicevich Councilman Tyrell moved that due to illness that Mayor Beckley's absence be excused, Councilman Harker seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously. TENNIS COURTS: Mayor Pro Tem Briggs announced that an item of unfinished business from the Council meeting of Febr. 8 would be consider- ed as the first item of business. The Council inspected the tennis courts at Live Oak Park and a determination has to be made whether or not the Council will accept the work of the Contractor. Councilman Harker stated after inspecting the tennis courts with Engineer Lewis and Park Supt. Ristow that he had reached the following conclusions: 1. the contractor has substantially met the specifica- tions established for the job and has fulfilled his obligation under the contract, 2. however some discrepancies were noted which should be corrected, namely (a) pooling of water along the south- west corner of south retaining wall and slight differ- ence in elevation between the two halves of the eastern court at center expansion joint lying under the net line, 3. above water pooling can be corrected by installing one or more additional drain holes in retaining removing some of the earth fill behind 4he wall and "V" grooving the grouting fill between the court sur- face and the wall, and at the same time providing addi- tional grade to grouting so water will flow toward the additional drain holes, 4. difference in elevations on eastern court could be re- lieved by grinding down high spot. This might leave a patched appearance on the surfact. Defect is so close to the net line that difference in elevations would in no way affect the use of the court or games played on it, 5. difference in surface finish between the western court and the other two courts, and some differences in finish between various areas within individual courts were checked, and the difference was detectable but result as to extent this would affect the game were inconclu- sive, Council Minutes, Febr. 8, 1968, page 2 6. a more accurate method of measuring surface differences would be by weighted abrasive pull tests for comparative purposes between various areas on our courts, and between our courts and any other courts, including those inn i Monrovia, 7. these public courts are open to all people and all ages, and the same degree of control cannot be exercised over their use as at private club courts, and subject to in- trusion of children wearing hard soled shoes and possibly roller skates, and also due to location subject to having things thrown into them by children, rocks, balls, etc., which could damage the finest of surfaced courts, In light of the above statement and intended purpose and use of the courts Councilman Harker moved that the tennis courts be ac- cepted as recommended by Engineer Lewis, conditional to correcting the water pooling at the south west corner and that fi_inal' payment be made with, 10%,WitInFbIdunti 1 that correction has )been accomplished, Councilman Merritt seconded, adding that the cracked concrete-at the the light standard be corrected, t& be included in the motion, Councilman Tyrell stated obviously we will not have skates and hard shoes on the court or we have wasted $45,000. to correct the drainage will require grooving about 20 to 30 ft. to the east of the site mentioned. As to consistency of courts they are not consistent because of lack of swirl on a large part of the courts . and they will be slippery. In a year they will need re- surfacing because they will be smooth. This costs $400. a court to do. The courts are not similar to the courts they were supposed to re- produce, as the Monrovia courts. Councilman Briggs stated he was impressed with the over -all workmanship of the courts, and that he felt that we have above average courts for the people of Temple City to enjoy. Roll call vote to carry the motion as follows: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen - Harker, Merritt, Briggs Councilman- Tyrell Councilman - Beckley PUBLIC HEARING: 7:30 P. M. — PROPOSED CHANGE OF ZONE RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION, FROM R -1 TO C -2 FOR 5409 THROUGH 5429 BALDWIN AVENUE, WEST SIDE, AND 9933 THROUGH 9945 OLIVE ST., NORTH SIDE Mayor Pro Tem Briggs declared the public hearing opened and re- quested the Planning Director to present the staff report. Planning Director Dragicevich advised that Alexander Haagen,: 5505 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, had submitted a plan for the development of a shopping center at the corner of Baldwin Ave. and Olive containing 9 parcels and representing 1.74 acres. The area covers the west side of Baldwin Ave., 5409 through 5429 , and the north side of Olive, 9933 through 9945. The surrounding area is developed with commercial and residential uses. Baldwin Ave. is a primary road with 100 ft. right of way, and Olive is 60 ft. with 40 ft. of paving, and curb and gutter in existence. The staff recommended to the Planning Commission and City Council that this request be granted as there is a need for a shopping center at this location, it is accessable and the main flow of traffic would be served by Baldwin. Ave. . The proposed comprehensive general plan depicts this loca- tion for commercial development. The Planning Commission dis- cussed this proposed center at two meetings and recommended approval of this zone change request to the City Council. The City has received 176 petitions that are in favor of this pro- posed shopping center. Council Minutes, February 8, 1968, page 3 The City Manager presented these petitions to the City Attorney that had been received. City Attorney Martin received the petitions and advised the audience that a spokesman can present their points of view, and those approving can state their name and that they agree. He advised the audience that the City Council has not made up its mind, and had just received the recommendation from the Planning Commission and will make a determination on the public hearing being held at this time, each Councilman is personally familiar with the site and knows the problems and lay -out of the corner involved. Mayor Pro Tem Briggs called first upon those in favor of the development. Alex Haagen, 5505 Wilshire, Los Angeles, stated the zone change requested is for the purpose of building a neighborhood type shopping center with Vons market the major tenant. Surveys during the past twelve months have indicated the need of this type of center at this location. On the basis of this survey and one made by a lending institution whose findings agreed, and with the approval of the Chamber of Commerce and the Planning Commission he requested the Council to grant the zone change application. Geo. G. Moore, 9924 Olive St., stated he had lived here 41 years and he was in favor. He also spoke for Marjorie L. Call, 9902 -4 -10 Olive, Mrs. Hendrix, 9923 Howland, Clive Acker, 9920 Olive, all of whom were also in favor. Don Baudrand, 5474 Barela, spoke in behalf of Mrs. Josephine Hall of 5429 Baldwin Ave., who is in favor. Also speaking in his own behalf he stated he favored the development. Bill Davila, 5730 N. Oak, stated he was an employee of Vons, and also a resident of Temple City for seven years. His posi- tion with Vons is advertising manager. He advised in 1961 Vons and Shopping Bag markets merged. Vons had been primarily in the San Fernando Valley and Shopping Bag markets in the San Gabriel Valley. Later by order of the Supreme Courts Vons was forced tm divesture the Shopping Bag markets. They have received many requests for stores in the area and by locating a store at this location they would be bringing trade into the area, and their reputation would make them a good neighbor in the community. Alex Goodman, of the T. C. Chamber of Commerce, felt this would be a good service to the area, and that it would increase sales tax revenue to the City. Thane Price, owner of the property at 9933 -35 -37 Olive, stated his parents had owned this property for 30 years and the build- ings are 40 to 50 yrs. old. He felt the development good for the City and they favored what is proposed. He advised his father had circulated a petition and out of 60 people he asked 57 were in favor of the development proposed. Carl L. Clark, Chairman of the Business Development Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, stated he personally called many of those that had lived there for some time and there were no complaints from those people he talked with, and most would appreciate a shopping center. He stated the Chamber was trying to find a way to correct a mistake Temple City made in the past fighting big business in the City. He advised we now have several large businesses that would like to come into Temple City and several are watching this public hearing and what decision is made and if right they will be interested in coming into Temple City. The Chamber has been trying to create interest in this City by big business, and they have done everything they can to bring them to Temple City and it is now up to the Council whether we grow or go back to the old way. Council Minutes, February 8, 1968, page 4 John Eyraud, 9823 Olive, stated he lived at that address all his life, and felt this was one of the few opportunities for the City to grow and that it will benefit many families. Their property is not affected by this development but they are in favor of it. Anthony Van Buren, 9933 Howland, has lived there 14 yrs., stated the needy :was there and they would welcome the shopping center. Mike Kunz, 5741 Oak, was in favor and stated there was a need in Temple City for this type of development. James Lawyer, 9621 Broadway, was very much in favor, has lived here 22 years and been a property owner. Mrs. Lottie Manning, 9944 Olive, across from the shopping cen- ter proposed, is a retired teacher and has lived there: 12 yrs. and is for this shopping center. Mrs. Fuquay, 9958 Olive, stated she was in favor of this shopping center. No one else came forward at this time in favor of the proposed development to address the Council. Mayor Pro Tem Briggs stated that anyone not in favor of this shopping center should now address the Council. Richard Knowland, 9933 Nadine, stated he was not against growth in Temple City but was against uncontrolled growth. He stated he did not have petitions and had been advised it was not a popularity contest. He requested time to submit a petition with a list of names. City Attorney Martin advised a zoning matter is not a popularity contest. Of interest to the Council is the feelings of their community, and that a simple yes or no:does not count as much as the reason for it. Also petitions do not count as heavily as reasons given if they are more cogent. Mr. Knowland stated a general plan for the City should be sub- mitted to the citizens of the City for approval. He was con- cerned about the commercial growth and apartments. Apartments will increase taxes due to increase of students and transient population. He also questioned the additional sales tax revenue coming into the city as a result of this shopping center. During the hearing of the Planning Commission it was stated that the Comprehensive General Plan depicts this corner as commercial development. This plan has not been adopted and he felt this statement was false as the Plan does not de- pict this corner for any future development unless the R -3 zoning were removed. The Plan further recommends any growth in Temple City should be controlled to Las Tunas area, Temple City Blvd., and Rosemead Blvd, and this proposed shopping center would discourage business in the downtown area. He felt the existing General Plan should be submitted to the citizens for approval and that it is the one that the City should adopt. He referred to statements that Baldwin Ave. will become a main artery between freeways and will have apartments similar to Rosemead Blvd. Mr. Knowland took issue with these statements and that Baldwin Ave. must have apart- ments, and that the future of this City does not depend on increased population. As to sales tax they do not know what satellite stores will be coming in and so cannot estimate sales tax revenue. Councilman Tyrell asked if he were abandoning the points he made before the Planning Commission as follows: Council Minutes, Febr. 8, 1968, page 5 a. referring to Gulf stations in town, b. employee parking, c. odor from restaurant, d. restaurant open late night hours e. and law enforcement in the area. Mr. Knowland stated he was not and that his statements were in the records, that we have one patrol car in Temple City and he felt if granted it would constitute additional police hazard, it would attract people into the area for shopping, which would cause cars to be parking on the side streets, also the crime rate is highest in shopping center areas. Discussion followed regarding the proposed Comprehensive Plan for the City. It was explained by Councilman Harker that the Master Plan is primarily a guide and not a precise general plan that must be followed specifically block by block and street by street, but is only to give guidance and has flexibility in it. Mr. Knowland felt there should be a general plan approved by the citizens and there should be controlled growth in the City so the people would be informed of the planned development of the different areas. He also felt there was no need for this shopping center as they already have everything needed located there. People, including himself, moved here to get away from the City and live in suburbia. City Manager Koski stated that the City of Temple City is certainly an urbanized community and must recognize that services must be provided to an urban area. Mr. Knowland presented pictures of other Von's shopping centers showing various vents, fans, etc., on the roof which were unsightly as were the areas for trash and litter in back of the buildings and lacking proper maintenance. He also commented on the unpleasant odors released by the vents from the restaurant. Councilman Tyrell moved these exhibits be made part of the record, Councilman Merritt seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. Councilman Tyrell commented on the numerous conditions imposed in the granting of the variance and asked if the zone change was granted if he felt they would alleviate many of his points of opposi- tion. Mr. Knowland felt they would help but still opposed the develops }.. ment and felt the need was not there. Mr. Dugan, 9928 Nadine, spoke about lack of required parking area and asked if the police department would be increased. Mayor Pro Tem Briggs advised if needs of the City require additional protec- tion the Council provide it as needed. Councilman Merritt advised that because of lack of required parking variances have been granted. Requirements are set up as a guide to start from but only by usage can it be determined what is proper. City Attorney Martin reminded the Council and audience that at this time we are determining whether this area should be rezoned from R -1 to C -2. What requirements will be attached will be determined at a future time. The question at this time is this suitable for rezoning, and if so then proper conditions can be imposed. The primary decision before us is the zoning. Mr. Dugan stated adjacent to the trash area he would like an 8 ft. wall (solid) with a-screen over the top between covering roof and top of wall. He felt the development would be bad for the immediate area and the community . Larry Reed, 9922 Nadine St., presented detailed maps showing proximity to other shopping areas in support of his contention that there is no need for this development. There is C -2 on Lower. Azusa and Las Tunas is not developed to its full extent. Also the Gulf station on Las Tunas is out of business,: The proposed restaurant would require Council Minutes, Febr. 8, 1968, page 6 lots of parking area and the approximate number of employees will be 110 and with parking required for the rest of the center would make an extreme :.shortage of parking spaces. He also was concerned with the traffic increase it would cause and felt the existing shopping facilities were sufficient for this area. He suggested putting shopping centers around the outside of Temple City and not squarely in the center of a residential area. Councilman Tyrell moved that the maps he presented be made an ex- hibit for this hearing, Councilman Merritt seconded, and the motion was unanimously carried. Richard Conrad, 5436 Baldwin Ave., commented re the tax dollar and school tax, that everything east of Baldwin is in the Arcadia or El Monte school districts so Temple City would get no benefit from the school tax. He can see no need for this shopping center, and would rather see this development along Las Tunas with the malls and parking facilities. Harvey Henry, 5453 Baldwin Ave., felt the traffic condition would be a problem and he asked if the proposed sidewalks along Olive if the people would have to pay for them. The City Manager advised that on Olive it would be a City project but there is no City pro- gram on Baldwin at the present time. Mr. Henry stated he felt the proposed center would be detrimental and with inadequate parking that could be a nuisance factor. Tom Atkins, 5428 Cambury, stated he has lived in Temple City seven years. If Temple City is going to prosper and grow we can get the right kind of businesses to come into the City. There is a need for a good department store and we do not have to compromise the City to do this, and he thought Temple City was worth preserving. He felt the business area on Las Tunas should be built up rather than outlying shopping centers. Councilman Merritt commented that regardless of distance people would patronize a good shopping area. Jack Montgomery, 5504 Robinhood, stated he agreed with all Mr. Reed had said and felt that to concentrate efforts and redevelopment and reinvest in the existing downtown areas to preserve what we have, and that this would be much better than to destroy a residen- tial area such as the one involved here. Al Lindberg, 9932 Nadine, stated he was directly in back of the proposed center, and he questioned the amount of revenue the City would realize from the development. He referred to the variance granted for parking which should be 180 and they will have only 130. This would require customers to park on the street if all employees were required to park in the complex. He did not want them to park in front of his place. He also felt the variance and conditional use permit should be considered at the same time with the zone change request rather than one part by the Planning Commis- sion and one by the City Council. Lucille Gardner, 9917 -19 Howland, stated they had explained to the Council that there is no need for this development in this area. There is not proper access nor adequate parking in the shopping center. She felt efforts should be concentrated on Las Tunas. She backed up the statements of Mr. Knowland and Mr. Reed. She felt this development should go downtown. Councilman Tyrell asked what conditions she would want to be imposed if granted. She stated this development was undesirable to the area. If granted she felt the gas station should be eliminated, would need proper ingress and egress, and proper parking facilities. James Baldwin, 9814 Callita, was concerned about adequate controls being put on to maintain the neighborhood atmosphere in the area. He felt the architecture should have been more village or country type, that the proposed was too commercial for the area. He felti: a permanent plan of the building rendering should be submitted, that the setback on Olive was inadequate and should be a 10 ft. Council Minutes, Febr. 8, 1968, page 7 setback, there should be adequate trees and landscaping in the area well maintained, should be something inclosed for trash containers, also there should be a preliminary elevation plan submitted and it would have to be as submitted. Chas. Fastlaben, 9306 Broadway spoke in behalf of Mr. & Mrs. Harry Peterson of 9942 Nadine, and expressed their disapproval. He also did not believe this would benefit Temple City, and the shopping center should be downtown. I10:10 P.M. Mayor Pro Tem Briggs declared a 5 minute recess at this time. 10:20 P.M. The Council reconvened at this time and was called to order by the Mayor Pro Tem. He called on the opposition for rebuttal, Larry Reed, 9922 Nadine, stated the question was asked if people from Alhambra would drive to this center to shop and his answer was no as the only addition they would have to the present shops would be Vons. They were also asked if granted what are some of the conditions the people would like imposed. First they do not want to see it put in. Re conditions people working there should be required to park in the center area, a parapet should be required to hide roof installations, and 8 ft. wall should be required, also trees so light does not bother neighbors no deliveries in before 6 A. M. and afte.r,6 P. M., no trash pickup nor swabbing parking lots at 4 A.M., covered trash areas in front as residential area is behind and on the sides of the area. He reiterated that this shopping area should be located on Las Tunas, Vons, the restaurant and drug store. Jerold Stack, associate of Mr. Haagen in the development, spoke in rebuttal. He stated in this trading area surveys showed approximately 7200 residences. There are three reasons for the need in the area, (1) proposal is in accordance with proposed comprehensive plan, (2) the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture figures average of 28% of income is spent on food which, would figure about $14,000,000. spent in the food area, (3) and these figures have been corroborated by Von's surveys. He advised in conjunc- tion with service this store would be '`z mile from the home office with all equipment and services outstanding and would be a show place for the Company. He felt the competition would force other shopping areas to shape up. The Traffic Engineer of the City made a study of the area and gave them a clean bill of health. Many people can walk to the area and he respectfully requested the Council to approve their request for a zone change. Councilman Tyrell asked Mr. Stack re the odor from the restaurant and was advised it was not a problem but if it became any kind of nuisance it would be up to them to do something. Councilman Tyrell also asked about the signing proposed for the development. Mr. Stack advised one center sign "Vons" about 35 ft. high and two faced, is proposed, and the other signing will be individual signs on each store and that sign control will be maintained. On the service station there would be one disc sign at the corner and two small emblems on the canopy going out to Baldwin Ave. Mr. Stack was asked if the gas station was necessary to the devel- opment and he stated economically they could not make it without the gas station. Councilman Tyrell asked if Vons would be willing to write -in no deliveries between 7 A. M. and 6 P. M. Mr. Stack answered that normally deliveries are made between 8:30 A. M. and 4 P. M. for Vons, but they would have to check with Vons to agree to 6 A. M. to 6 P. M. Mr. Stack also said they would be agreeable to concealment of such elements that would be coming through the roof so sky line would be clear and uncluttered, that Vons would agree that all property under the variance as well as this pro- posed zone change would be subject to the precise plan, that they have agreed that the parking lot will be aesthetically attrac- tive and designed so lighting will not be disturbing to nearby residents, there would be windows in satellite stores on resident side but all loading would be from the front, they anticipate 30 employees in total for the center. 1 , Council Minutes, February 8, 1968, page 8 Councilman Merritt asked about moving the loading zone adjacent to the street with a wall which would not bother residents. Robt. McClelland, Vons architect advised Vons would have the most de- liveries and it was felt it would be better to have this in the back and out of sight. There would have to be some use of Olive St. for deliveries, and the rest would be front delivery to the satellites. The location of the Vons sign was discussed. Councilman Briggs asked if the success of the center was dependent on the gas sta- tion, and if held out would Vons, be in trouble. Mr. Haagen, applicant, stated the financing of the center was based on a 20 yr. lease from Gulf Oil Co. Councilman Merritt commented this may pay the rent but the building could be vacant whereby the land owner would get his money but the eyesore would be there. Mr. Stack advised the parking of personnel would be on the park- ing lot, and he added there would be four additional parking spaces in the gas station area. Councilman Tyrell moved to close the public hearing, Councilman Harker seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. Mayor Pro Tem Briggs asked the City Attorney if the conditions discussed could be attached to the zone change. The City Attorney advised several vehicles can be attached,toa conditional use per- mit and va dance but cannot be attached to a zone change. In order to attach any recommendations the variance and conditional use permit would have to be brought before the Council. Councilman Harker stated the main question was one of need. The map with circles showing distances to adjacent shopping areas was well made but a background of surveys, etc., was not provided. Anyone investing a considerable amount of money is not going on the basis of opinion but must have facts to work from. We have two parties establishing the need, the developer and Vons. He did not feel the matter of competing with the downtown shopping area was a serious problem, and a number of local businessmen have gone on record as approving this center. In todays competi- tive market we cannot limit growth of business. Las Tunas is developing and we are pleased with this. This should not be allowed to restrict development elsewhere if we are satisfied that it would be beneficial to our community. Matter of traffic flow can be alleviated by the signal there at the present time. Re odors from the restaurant they do exist but cannot be too objectionable in the preparation of food to eat if properly maintained. Councilman Merritt stated he was in agreement with Councilman Harker, however with 50 less parking spaces than required is much more than normally given by a variance. From this stand- point he objected.. If employees are required to park on the ex- isting lot it would cut down on customer parking area which would bring suffering to themselves and not to the neighbors, he could see the installation as something that can be well used. Also as far as requirements for installation he felt sure that they would know better than he , and it is their money they are gambling on. Councilman Tyrell felt they had to accept that such a develop- ment would be advantageous to the community because of income, convenience to shopper, and competition should take care of itself. He stated he was not enamoured with the gas station in that area, particularly in that we have unoccupied stations in the town now, also the cooking could be undesirable, a buffer zone would be desirable, the signing is undesirable, and parking insufficient. The ordinance requires 187 spaces and here there are only 130. Ralph's has 205 spaces. You cannot require employees to park on the parking lot and you cannot require them to park in the street. The store as set forth is Council Minutes, Febr. 8, 1968, page 9 not consistent with rural type area. Olive is not developed sufficiently to accept heavy traffic, and lacks sidewalks. Decentralized shopping may be advantageous but has not been the policy of the Chamber of Commerce in the past. This is up to the;developers and not the Council determination. He felt where there was a package deal the Council should consider all phases, conditional use permit and variance, and zone change. He felt at this time the advantages of the development were out- weighed by the disadvantages even though he would like to see it there if possible. Mayor Pro Tem Briggs stated he saw points on both sides and there was more than need involved. There is need of convenience for older people, a gain for the City from tax standpoint, and this development would not affect people downtown. He felt it was a poor plot plan regarding the aspects of the gas station and he felt it was detrimental to this development with the plot plan as presented and the shortage of parking added he would not be favorable to this at this time. Councilman Harker commented on the figures of revenue to the City, and that we must remember that there is no sales tax on foods and Vons is the largest facility in the proposed center. The City would benefit from gasoline sales but there is one in the area now and it is never over - crowded. If anything we need less it is another gas station. He was disappointed that it hangs so heavily with the filling station as part of the package, and on the basis of the filling station alone he would not be in favor of it. The other things could be accomplished and not be detrimental to the area. The filling station and amount of available parking space it takes up as they show it is too much. City Attorney Martin stated judging from the statements made there are three choices: a. If Council feels rezoning improper and not consistent they may move to tentatively disapprove the zone change at this time; or b. may give tentative approval leaving it to the staff and further hearings perhaps, to set conditions of a precise plan; or c. to hold the decision in abeyance to see whether the conditional use permit and variance are adequate to protect the neighborhood. Councilman Tyrell felt if they could eliminate the gas station it should perhaps be held over but they have stated they have to have it to survive. Councilman Tyrell moved to disapprove, Councilman Harker seconded, and the motion was carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmen- Harker, Merritt, Tyrell, Briggs NOES: Councilmen -None ABSENT: Councilman - Beckley City Attorney Martin stated the Planning Commission zone re- commendation has been disapproved, and when finalized, the Conditional Use Permit and Variance would also be disapproved. He stated that an appropriate Resolution would be prepared for the next agenda. 4. MATTERS FROM CITY OFFICIALS: City Manager Koski presented Resolution No. 68 -801 appointing a temporary employee as tree trimmer. Councilman Tyrell moved to adopt Resolution No. 68 -801, Councilman Merritt seconded, and the motion was unanimously carried. The City Manager presented a letter from the Sister City Committee requesting Council support financially for entertain- ment of the residents of Magdalena who are attending the Camellia Festival. This matter will be held over for the study session. Council Minutes, February 8, 1968, page 10 5.
