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. 9.

The proposed resolution would allow Sheriff's Department to enforce the no parking regulations. Public Works Coordinator Leonetti stated managers of both stores have consented to the enforcement of the "No Stopping Anytime" signs and arranged for their installation, the signs having been installed this 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 to speak, Councilman Tyrell moved to close public hearing, seconded by Councilman Greenberg and carried.

Hallwood Drive City Manager Koski presented background information advising City 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. 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.

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.
