8 PUBLIC HEARING: 7:30 p.m. AMENDMENT TO TEMPLE. CITY MUNICIPAL CODE
RELATING TO ABATEMENT OF VEHICLES AS PUBLIC NUISANCE
City Manager Koski presented background information, stating the
Planning Commission, at their regular meeting held May 13, 1975, held .
public hearing and adopted Resolution No. 75 -621PC recommending, to
City Council adoption of ordinance relating to abatement of vehicles
as public nuisance. City Council, at their meeting of May 20, 1975,
set public hearing on this matter for June 3, 1975.
Councilman Dennis moved to make the Planning Commission minutes a
part of the public hearing, seconded by Councilman Greenberg and
carried.
Mayor Gilbertson declared the public hearing open and invited those
wishing to speak in favor of, or in opposition to, the amendment to
the code relating to abatement of vehicles as public nuisance to come
forward.
In. Opposition:
Mr. Joseph Braun, 9532 Howland Avenue, stated he felt there should
be some means by which the City can eliminate abandoned vehicles,
however, the amendment to the code as written includes inoperative,
wrecked and dismantled vehicles or parts thereof on private property,
which denies a person the right to fix their own car; it denies a
person the right to build a recreation vehicle; it denies the youth
of the community the opportunity to develop ,skills in working on
vehicles. Mr. Braun requested the amendment not be adopted as written
and suggested his objections could be handled in the exception para-
graph.
Mr. Sigmund Caswell, 9518 Olive Street, stated he is not against the
ordinance itself, but is concerned with the wording. He stated the
terminology "inoperative, wrecked and dismantled vehicles" could
eliminate family recreation hobbies. Mr. Caswell suggested the word
"any" in Section 9499.1 Declaration of Nuisance, be eliminated and
possibly adding "without permission ". He stated Section 9499.5 was
taken from the Vehicle Code which was obsolete when written; and also
he would like to see "covered, fenced or suitable shrub screened from
public surface view" added to the exception paragraph. In answer to
questions put to him by Council, Mr. Caswell stated the difference
between a resident working on his own car, or an antique collector,
from someone who would acquire a number of vehicles to restore for
financial gain would be covered under business license requirements.
Mr. Kenneth Gillanders, 4841 Ryland, stated "abandoned" is not defined
in the code, nor is it defined in the motor vehicles code, and therefore
becomes a value judgment.
Mr. Bill Holtz, stated he is opposed to the first paragraph of the
proposed ordinance referring to dismantled or inoperative vehicles.
Council Minutes, June 3, 1975 - Page 3
Mrs, Lucinda Grant, 5424 El Monte, stated she has a large lot and
has an inoperative vehicle stored for a young man waiting for funds
to restore it. In raising her four sons, they all worked on vehicles
at one time or another, and she would dislike seeing that opportunity
taken,away from other young people in the community. Mrs. Grant
suggested more study be made before putting more restrictions on the
young men in the community,
Mr. Victor King, 5018 Arden, stated he works on race cars as a hobby,
and they are objectionable to some people when they are in perfect
running condition. He felt there should be a law for screeing recreation
vehicles.
Mr. Charles Campbell, stated he is against the wording of the ordinance
as proposed, stating that it is very difficult getting parts for
antique cars, necessitating their being inoperable for lengthy periods.
Mr. Gene Reinhart, 9909 Daines, stated he belongs to two clubs for
model A Fords, which are basically family oriented. He is not against
the ordinance itself, but objects to some of the wording. Section 9499.1,
definition of public nuisance is too'vague and he would prefer to see
"covered, fenced or screened from surface view written into the exceptions.
City Attorney Martin explained the proposed ordinance is merely a
procedural change for'abatement of a public nuisance; that an ordinance
prohibiting abandoned or inoperable vehicles has been a part of the
Municipal Code for some seven years;. the majority of the cities in this
area have already adopted a similar ordinance and it has not caused any
particular problems; that in the proposed ordinance being considered,
the focus is not on 'abandoned" vehicles but on what constitutes a public
nuisance and procedures whereby City can abate by means of a public
hearing where the electorate and elected officials can determine together
whether a public nuisance exists, public nuisance being well defined in
law.
Joe Braun, 9532 Howland Avenue, stated that he did not feel we needed
the proposed ordinance, that if'a person is willing to go through the
processes of public hearings, then the vehicle certainly is not abandoned.
There being no other persons wishing to speak, Councilman Greenberg
moved to close public hearing, seconded by Councilman Merritt and
carried
City Attorney Martin advised the ordinance presently prohibiting
abandoned or inoperative vehicles is not enforceable because state law
requires additional notice and procedure.; as the ordinance is written
the emphasis is on public nuisance and not abandoned vehicles. He
would now recommend the present ordinance be referred back to staff
for appropriate changes,
Councilman Tyrell felt that Section 9499 defining public nuisance._should
read "abandoned and wrecked, dismantled or inoperative" making a public
nuisance if any two situations exist. Councilman Tyrell also felt there
should be a time limit to work on inoperative vehicles if'not visible to
public constituting a nuisance written into the exceptions.
Mayor Gilbertson suggested there may be some terminology in SB, 1082
with regard to collector identification,
Councilman Greenberg stated he would object to collectors being identi-
fied in the exceptions, stating that collectors can create a public
nuisance too,
Councilman Dennis felt that defining abandoned, in his opinion, would
not create a particular problem; the ordinance is merely a tool to
protect the operty value within the community,
Councilman 44.414ftated he would like resident to be included in the
notice paragraph,
Council Minutes, June 3, 1975, - Page 4
Councilman Tyrell moved to approve the ordinance in principle and
refer to staff for appropriate changes to be placed on the July 15,1975
agenda for first reading, seconded by Councilman Greenberg and carried.

date by the Los Angeles County Road Department.
Mayor Gilbertson opened the public hearing and invited anyone wishing
to speak to the matter to come forward. There being no one wishing

by Councilman Greenberg and carried.

Council, at their regular meeting held May 20, 1975, continued their
consideration of an encroachment permit at the request of the applicant,
and to give the applicant the opportunity to show that a hardship or
unique situation exists which would warrant an encroachment permit.
Mr, Don Mellen, 10640 Hallwood Drive, stated that at the Planning
Comuiission meeting of May 13, 1975, he was advised he would have to
move his fence back to a four foot setback which is all the City would
need if sidewalks were ever put in. He felt he would be removing any
potential hazard by moving the fence .back two feet.
Councilman Dennis felt that Mr. Meller is not facing a hardship in
moving the fence back the full five feet, when he in fact is willing
to move it back two feet.
Council Minutes, June 3, 1975 - Page 5
Councilman Merritt stated the Council could not sanction an encroach-
ment into the right -of -way which would cause a hazardous condition
and be a legal responsibility of the City.
Councilman Merritt moved to deny request for encroachment permit,
seconded by Councilman Dennis and carried.
Mr. Meller expressed his appreciation for the time the Council has
given in consideration of his request, commenting that in the time
he has spent At City Council meetings he has been impressed with

13. PROPOSED INSTALLATION, OF LEFT TURN POCKETS - TEMPLE CITY BOULEVARD AT

City Manager Koski presented background information, stating City
Council, at their regular meeting held May 20, 1975,, received recom-
mendation from Traffic Commission for the installation of left turn
pockets at subject intersections, and continued the matter to June 3, 1975
in order to notify the affected property owners and residents.
Mr. Joseph Braun, 9532 Olive, spoke in favor of the left turn pocket
being installed at the intersection of Temple City Boulevard and Olive
Street, stating that many times it is impossible to see vehicles
traveling in the opposite direction when waiting to make a left turn.
Mr, Johannes VanHastaart, 5411 Temple City Boulevard, stated his
opposition to the proposed left turn pocket at Olive Street, stating he
appreciates the safety considerations, however, because of the width
of his driveway it would be impossible to turn into his property.
Because of the density of traffic in the morning and evening hours,
even now he must park his car and wait to back his car in after the rush
hour, so that he can exit front first during the morning rush hour.
Mr. Ralph Phillips, 5416 Temple City Boulevard, stated he also has a
problem .. of pulling into his driveway since the restriping of Temple
City Boulevard and faces the danger of stopping 1.50' after the inter-
section creating a situation where he fears a rear end collision.
Mrs. Cissy VanHastaart, 5411 Temple City Boulevard, stated if left turn
pockets are installed it would necessitate movement towards the curb
where the differential between the blacktop and the gutter is approxi-
mately 1" causing problems in controling the vehicle. Mrs. VanHastaart
also inquired as to whether the proposed left turn pocket could be
shortened.
Traffic Engineer Envall stated the hazard is not in the length of the
pocket. The length of the pocket would dictate the length of the
parking restrictions, but normally a turn into a driveway can be
negotiated from a lane 13' from the curb.
Council Minutes, June 3, 1975 - Page 6

study session held with the Parks and Recreation Commission on
May 19., 1975, City Council discussed policy of cosponsorship at which
time Parks and Recreation Commission was requested to continue study
and forward their recommendation to Council. The Commission found
that many of the cosponsored groups conduct activities off City property
which increases the liability factor and recommended that any group
cosponsored by the City must furnish a certificate of insurance naming
the City of Temple City as additionally insured during an interim period
of reviewing the entire matter of cosponsorship. The Parks and Recreation
Commission will complete their review at their regular meeting to be held
June 18, 1975, and make recommendation to City Council.

groups conducting activities outside City limits, and the fact that
the presence of an additional policy does not eliminate City liability.

are not confined to facilities within the City, seconded by Councilman
