7 PUBLIC HEARING: 7:30 p.m. Re. Appeal - Conditional Use Permit
No. 69 -291PC - 9503 E. Las Tunas Drive (Sam's Roast Beef Sandwiches)
City Manager Koski advised that appeal re. Conditional Use Permit
6.9 -291 PC was before the Council on proposed. development of drive-in
type restaurant on the northeast corner of Cloverly and Las Tunas,
which permit had been denied by the Planning Commission.
Mayor Harker declared. the Public Hearing open.
Planning Director Dragicevich provided background information relative
to subject property and adjacent area in the C -2 zone, wherein a
drive-in restaurant with a structure of approximately 2,200 square feet,
with 42 seating spaces, was proposed at the northeast corner of Cloverly
and Las Tunas, the property approximately 100' x 110' to contain 22
parking spaces with ingress and egress on Las Tunas, and an exit on
the one -way alley. At hearings conducted before the Planning Comm-
ission, a modification to the plan had been requested to relocate the
building which would place the restroom entrances away from the
street (Cloverly) and to allow for ingress and egress from Cloverly
instead of the exit to the alley to provide for better traffic cir-
culation in the area. Councilman Merritt suggested that an entrance
from the alley as well as the exit may permit an easier flow of
traffic, rather than to just exit onto the alley.
Mayor Harker invited those'in: the audience who wished to speak in
favor of the appeal to come forward.
In Favor
Fred Westover, 12623 E. Imperial Highway, Santa Fe Springs, rep-
resenting Gulf Oil, advised that Gulf Oil was the seller of the
property, and that Denny's Restaurants was the buyer proposing the
development. He considered that the type of business to be.conducted
was compatible to the area and would provide revenue for the City,
based upon approximately $30,000 gross per month.
Joseph Gallant, representing Denny's Restaurants, advised that the
location of the structure, as proposed, was the only way that the
cite could be considered by Denny's in order to provide maximum view
of the establishment to the public since the operation would not have
enough recognition from the public in any other location on the site,r
and needed to be seen quickly. He considered the flow of traffic as
presented to be quite adequate, and did not feel that there was a
saturation of restaurants in the City, based on studies made. He
advised that the proposed restaurant would be franchise operated and
the franchise operator was not involved with the development costs.
In his discussion, he called attention to the fact that the operation
of this restaurant was different than other drive -ins, and that this
was not a drive -in per se.
City Attorney Martin advised the Council, that before proceeding
further with the hearing, that previous testimony of the Planning
Commission and the extensive minutes should be brought into the
record to avoid unnecessary duplication. Mayor Harker requested a
motion to that effect which was so moved by Councilman Tyrell,
seconded by Councilman Merritt and unanimously carried. The pro-
ceedings from the Planning Commission were then received and made
part of the record.
Ken Primisinq, 9508 E. Olive, speaking in favor of the appeal, in-
quired what was the objection of the Planning Commission. Mayor
Harker advised that a revised plan had been requested to provide for
the restrooms to be located off the street and had not been provided,
and that concern of traffic flow had been major items of consider-
ation.
Council Minutes, September 2, 1969 - Page 3
Against
Flora Lee Ancona, 5675 Loma, stated that she could not see any
reason to bring more drive -in restaurants into the City, contri-
buting to trash, loitering and racing of cars, etc., advising
that we need more business houses, not drive -in restaurants.
Paul Helm, 5825 N. Encinita, advised that the Sheriff's Depart-
ment has enough problems with Jack -in- the -Box, Winchell's and
other drive -in restaurants, and this will add another problem
location to the City. He advised that . it brings in undesirable
persons from other cities who come in and create trouble.
Al Nunamaker, 5757 Agnes, and owner of Cool's Candies, 9549 Las
Tunas, advised that the proposed development, Sam's .Roast -Beef
Sandwiches, was different from a Denny's Restaurant, and would
occupy a prime piece of property on Las Tunas in the middle of the
downtown area. He suggested that such development at this time
would hinder the overall development of Las Tunas for a large
department store or other development. He stated that it was
general procedure for oil companies to buy corner locations and
hold the properties for years since they can write them off on
their taxes. He also warned that since it is a lease operation,
the franchise operators may change frequently. He stated that
this development would stop the growth in the heart of the down-
town, and suggested that with the cooperation of the Chamber of
Commerce, overall development of some type should be considered
at this time.
Councilman Tyrell advised that in order for the Council to deny
the application they must show cause. City Attorney Martin out-
lined the reasons as follows: 1) is the site adequate as to
area, size and access, 2) are the streets surrounding adequate to
carry the traffic, and 3) will the type of use have an adverse
effect on the neighboring properties or the City as a whole.
Robert Barr, 5945 N. Cloverly, resident of Marbet Apartments,
presented a petition bearing 42 signatures of residents at Marbet
Apartments, opposing the development because of the traffic and
noise problems that would be forthcoming from a drive -in type
development. He advised that he was retired from the California
Highway Patrol and was aware of the policing problems that would
be involved, and that enforcement was limited on the private pro-
perty.
Jack Lloyd, 9480 E. Olive, speaking in favor of the applicant,
considered that perhaps some of the problems at Winchell's were
caused by the Kon -Tiki, and felt there was a need for the quick -
type food service that would be provided.
Geraldine Cheney, 5945 Cloverly (Marbet ,Apartments), opposing,
advised that she drives 40 miles to work each day, but lives
and spends her money in Temple City, however if the drive -in
restaurant were permitted in this vicinity with the incumbent
problems, she would necessarily move out of the City.
Robert Bock, 5328 Encinita, speaking in favor, felt that it
would provide a place for the young p7.61717— ple to go. He also felt
that requirements of the building code and special conditions
set up by the Planning Commission should suffice for granting
permits.
I(
Mr. Nunamaker came __f..orward..., again to state that the criteria of
three basic reasons for denial had been met in that: 1) the
site was inadequate by Planning Commission requirements, 2) the
street is inadequate for traffic, and 3) it would have an adverse
effect on neighboring property as shown'here this evening.
Council Minutes, September 2, 1969 - Page 4
City Manager Koski described an exhibit showing the present
development of the downtown area, advising that the City was
working on the future development of the area; also a tremendous
investment has been made in public parking facilities and the
pedestrian mall in order to encourage major development, and that
this key location was a prime concern in the overall development
of the central business area.
There was some discussion as to the circulation of traffic around
the site on Las Tunas, Cloverly and in the alley. There appeared
to be the possibility of increased congestion, particularly in
regard to the use of the alley for entering and exiting from the
proposed development.
City Attorney Martin advised that the hearing on this matter had
been placed before thetouncil after having been before the
Planning Commission, and that insufficient findings with respect to
site, streets and adjoining area were included in the Planning
Commission records; that it had been denied for reason of restrooms
adjacent to the street and only by general language that other
criteria had not been met. He advised that the Public Hearing could
be continued, with the matter returned to the Planning Commission
for refinement of their findings; or upon review of evidence
presented, the Public Hearing could be closed and the Council could
proceed with its decision.
Councilman Merritt stated that he felt the application for permit
for drive -in restaurant had been applied for under a misnomer
since it was not a drive -in restaurant per se, and would like to see
it go back to the Planning Commission for clarification. He then
moved that the matter be returned to the Planning Commission for
clarification as to the status of a permit, or a conditional use
permit, on whether it is a drive -in or standard type restaurant,
and if a drive -in, that findings be made as they relate to the
three criteria established in the zoning code, suggesting that
the Planning Commission may find some assistance in involving the
Chamber of Commerce, and to continue the Public Hearing to October 7,
1969, at 7:30 p.m. in the City Hall,, since the basis for denial
at the present time by the Planning Commission was inadequate and
insufficient as a matter of law. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Beckley.
City Manager Koski advised that on September 9, 1969, the Planning
Commission will hold Public Hearing with reference to zoning
ordinance, with reference to walk -in /drive -in /drive -up restaurants,
so that more definitive._.st.an.da.r.ds will be forthcomi..ng...a.t..that time.
Mayor Harker requested action on the motion which carried unanimously.
City Attorney Martin advised that the matter would now be returned
to the Planning Commission to define more specific reasons for which
they denied the application, and to determine more appropriately
the classification of this restaurant as a drive -in, with the
suggestion that the Chamber of Commerce be consulted, and findings
be returned to the City Council for continued Public Hearing to
be held on October 7, 1969.
The following correspondence and petitions were received for the
record:
1) Letter from Ray G. Fortner, Realtor, August 20, 1969, in favor.
2) Letter from Mark C. Nottingham, President, Marbet Apartments,
August 20, 1969, opposing.
3) Petition presented by Robert Barr containing 42 signatures of
residents at Marbet Apartments received September 2, 1969
(two documents), opposing.
4) Petition presented by Ray G. Fortner containing 29 signatures
of business persons in the downtown area, received September 2,
1969 (two documents), in favor.
Councilman Tyrell left the meeting at this time, it being 9:10 p.m.

8. PUBLIC HEARING: 7:30 p.m. Re. Assessments - Underground
Utility District No. 1
City Manager Koski advised that the Public Hearing had been set
to consider the assessments for the underground conversions that
were completed by the City, and that property owners had been
duly notified. Director of Public Works Pizzorno advised that of
the 65 parcels involved, only six required work by the City, and
it was recommended that the assessments now be approved.
Mayor Harker declared the Public Hearing open, and invited those
in the audience who wished to speak for or against the matter to
come forward. No one wished to speak.
Councilman Beckley moved to close the Public Hearing,, seconded by
Councilman Merritt and unanimously carried. It was moved by Council-
man Merritt to approve the assessments and direct that the properties
be so assessed, and that staff proceed with the notification,
seconded by Councilman Briggs and unanimously carried.

absent for the one item only.
9. PUBLIC HEARING: 7:30 p.m. Re. Application for Change of Ownership
-- Camellia Family Billiards, 9055 E. Las Tunas Drive
City Manager Koski advised that an application had been received for
change of ownership for. Camellia Family Billiards, located at
9055 E. Las Tunas Drive, and that hearing on the matter was being
held pursuant to the business license ordinance.
Mayor Harker declared the Public Hearing open.
Lt. A. W. Olmby, Watch Commander, Temple City Station, was present
to answer questions, and discussed juvenile problems in the City in
general as they related to the Camellia Family ffilliards and other
places.of business throughout the City where teenagers generally con-
gregate.
Deputy Gillmann, License Detail, advised that in accordance with the
City Ordinance relative to change of ownership, the location had been
posted for Public Hearing on August 12, 1969. He described the environ-
ment of the property which the new owner plans to operate the same as
it has been operated for the past two years. He advised that the
previous owner had been operating until midnight on week nights and
to 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights, and that a check with the
Sheriff's Office indicated no incidents have occurred at the location;
and that problems of juvenile parking have received no complaints
over the past several months.
City Manager Koski advised that a report of an incident at the location
the previous evening had been received today.
It was noted that the application of the previous owner had been
for operating from 12 noon until midnight, however that operations had
not been conducted as stated in the application, since he was
remaining open until 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights, however
this was not in conflict with the City Ordinance perse. Staff was
directed to check into the matter of the closing hours of the
present owner.
The testimony having been heard, Councilman Briggs moved to close
the Public Hearing, seconded by Councilman Beckley and unanimously
carried.
Councilman Beckley stated that he would be in favor of recommending
approval, subject to the closing hours being set from 12 noon to
midnight, rather than to 2 a.m., and subject to review in 90 days,
and so moved. The motion was seconded by Councilman Merritt.

Council Minutes, September 2, 1969 - Page 6
Councilman Tyrell stated that when the present owner had commenced
operation, he had kept close watch on operations, but later was
more lax, and advised that one of the conditions had been for the
owner to be present on the premises during the time it is open, and
that any person assuming managerial control in the absence of the
licensee must first be identified to the Sheriff's License Detail,
subject to the approval of the City of Temple City, and that this
requirement had not always been met. Councilman Tyrell stated that
a review of the operations should be made in 90 days, and each 90 days
thereafter, for tighter control.
Councilman Beckley amended his motion to include review each 90 days
thereafter, with the consent of the second.
Becuase of the stipulations to be placed on the owner by the motion
under consideration, Mayor Harker called for the Public Hearing to
be reopened, to allow the applicant an opportunity to discuss the
requirements.
Councilman Briggs moved to reopen the hearing, seconded by Councilman
Merritt and unanimously carried.
Ami Partlow, applicant, advised that he was not in favor of the closing
hours of 12 midnight, particularly on Friday and Saturday night when
he felt he should be allowed to operate until 2 a.m., because these
were prime hours of operation.
Following testimony by Mr. Partlow, Councilman Briggs moved to close
the Public Hearing, seconded by Councilman Merritt and unanimously
carried.
Mayor Harker requested a roll call vote on the motion to approve the
application for change of ownership, with the hours of operation
limited to 12 noon to 12 midnight, Sunday through Thursday, and from
12 noon to 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, subject to review every
90 days and each 90 days thereafter, and that any person assuming

Council Minutes, September 2, 1969 - Page 7
Councilman Beckley inquired concerning the requirement of 7,200
square foot lot as noted in item 3 (d) of the proposed ordinance,
when more than 12 birds would be maintained. While it was noted
that the motion of the previous meeting had stipulated this as a
basic lot size, it was the consensus that minimum sized lots
meeting all of the requirements should not be penalized and this
limitation should be deleted. Councilman Beckley stated he would
still like to see a solid wall requirement at the edge of the
property line, rather than a 10' setback for the bird cage, with
no other restrictions. Councilman Merritt stated he still did not
approve a permit system. Planning Director Dragicevich advised
that pursuant to Council request, staff had contacted other
communities relative to whether permit procedures were in effect,
and that no other community contacted had such procedure. Alter-
natives to the procedure were also presented.
