City Manager Koski presented background information stating City
Council, at their regular meeting held December 6, 1977, referred
the matter back to the Planning Commission for guidelines which
would direct the recommendations insofar as front and side yard
setbacks on corner lots and lots with substandard street frontage
is concerned, and also suggested the proposed ordinance be referred
to the Planning Commission rather than the Minor Zoning Modification
Committee to provide property owners within 300 feet to comment.

recommended guidelines as set forth in staff memo dated January 13,
Council Minutes, January 17, 1978 - Page 2
and that any lot which abuts two separate streets, such as a corner
lot or a double frontage lot.be referred to the Planning Commission
and lots which are non - contiguous to a public street and lots which
have less than 35 foot frontage on a public street be referred to

7 PUBLIC HEARING: 7:30 p.m. STREET IMPROVEMENTS, ALESSANDRO AVENUE, LIVE
OAK TO BROADWAY (Curb, gutter and driveway approaches pursuant to
Chapter 27, Streets and Highways Code)
City Manager Koski presented background information, stating the
City Council, at their regular meeting held January 3, 1978, received
petitions for the installation of curb, gutter, driveway approaches
from property owners on Alessandro Avenue from Live Oak to Broadway,
representing 727, of the front footage of the block. The project comes
under a Categorical Exemption as defined under the Environmental
Quality Act of 1970 as amended. City's share of the construction
is estimated to be $32,222, property owners' share is estimated to
be $15,22.2; property owners were notified of their estimated costs
based on $6 per lineal foot for curb and gutter and $1.50 per square
foot for driveway approaches. Because of unprecedented bidding
situations now affecting public works projects, City Council may
wish to review their policy of rebating 50C per 1.f. for curb and
gutter to property owners who pay their assessment within 5 days,
the present policy having been established when curb and gutter was
running $2 per 1.f. which represented 25% assistance to property
owners. If City Council approves the project, an amendment to the
budget will be required.
Mayor Merritt declared the public hearing open and invited anyone
wishing to speak to the subject to come forward.
Mr. Don Stedfield, 9264 Wedgewood, stated he felt the project was
misrepresented by the circulator of the petition who advised the
figures were determined by recent construction costs, yet within a
few weeks time the estimated assessments increased. He also stated
his block has excellent drainage and he is not sure the improvements
will be of benefit and will increase taxes.
Geraldine Rentz, 5620 Alessandro, stated she is opposed to the curb
and gutter improvements for financial reasons and innuired what the
City's estimated cost covers.and what happens if the project is
approved and the property owner is unable to pay.
City Manager Koski advised the cost to the City represents costs for
survey, engineering, preparation of plans and specifications, ex-
cavation, on- street work, compaction and inspection. He also advised
there are two options to Council if the property owner is unable to
pay the assessment;.payment can be deferred and the assessment would
be on the property tax hill, or in the case of financial hardship
a schedule of payment can be approved.
Mrs. Rentz requested Council set a limit on unit costs for property
owners.
Council Minutes, January 17, 1978 - Page 3
Pam Mangum, 5614 Alessandro, stated she is against the project
for financial reasons.
a
Willi _m_ajanian, 5522 Alessandro, inquired what the City would
do abbout two adjoining driveways and was advised the wishes of
the property owners would prevail. Mr. Agajanian withdrew his
signature from the petition.
Olive Jones, 5632 Alessandro, inquired whether it would be necessary
to remove trees. City Manager Koski advised survey has not been
completed, but it is always Council policy to save trees whenever
possible.
Nick Gladis, 5622 Alessandro, stated his concern with the circulator's
estimate and the City's estimate being higher, and requested there
be established a limit the property owners will be required to pay.
Lyle Mason, 5510 Alessandro, withdrew his signature from the petition
stating curb and gutter does not allow additional walking space for
children and they would still have to go around parked vehicles; and
cited the fact they have very good drainage at the present time.
Paul Scholer, 5530 Alessandro, stated he is aware of a project the
County is completing at this time for which the property owner is
being assessed $2.50 per foot plus 50 per foot for driveway
approaches, and requested City Council put a limit on the assessment
to the property owner.
Robert Walter, 5608 Alessandro, stated he would like to put in a
concrete driveway if that were possible, and was advised that in
the past private parties have contracted with the contractor for
work at the same unit price bid on the project.
Gilbert Bryan, 5525 Alessandro, stated his driveway is 18 -20 feet
wide and inquired whether the apron would match, and was advised
if the driveway is a legal driveway, the apron would be built to
accommodate the driveway, and stated he is very much in favor of
the project.
Johanna Blackburn, 5546 Alessandro, stated the proposed curb and
gutter has been considered before and turned down and the cost has
increased since that time. She understands the financial problems,
however within the next few years the cost will be higher; that
curb and gutter will improve the looks of the street and property
owners will be able to landscape and improve the appearance of their
properties; that Alessandro between Live Oak and Broadway is the
only block on Alessandro without curb and gutter which makes her
feel she's not a part of Temple City.
There being no one else come forward, Councilman Dennis moved to
close the public hearing, seconded by Councilman Atkins and carried.
Councilman Atkins moved to approve the filing of Categorical Exemp-
tion of Environmental Impact, seconded by Councilman Greenberg and
carried.
Mayor Merritt stated the policy of 50C rebate on assessments paid
within 5 days has not been re- evaluated in recent years and he feels
Council should make some allowance which would alleviate some of the
cost of this project.
In answer to question by Councilman Greenberg, City Manager Koski
advised that originally the 50 rebate amounted to 25% of the
assessment; that has never been adjusted and at this time it repre-
sents 12% of the estimated cost of $6 per lineal foot.
Councilman Dennis stated 25/ of the estimated cost for the project
in question would bring the cost to $4.50 per lineal foot for curb
and gutter and Council may wish to consider setting a limit of $4.50
per unit cost for the project. He feels there is no alternative
but to guarantee some maximum fixed cost.
Council Minutes, January 17, 1978 - Page 4
Councilman Atkins felt it would be fair to readjust the rebate
for those property owners who pay their assisessment within 5 days.
Councilman Greenberg moved to approve the project and instruct the
Superintendent of Streets to cause the work to be accomplished, to
establish a $6 limit per lineal foot for the curb and gutter costs,
$1.50 per square foot for driveway approaches, and to adopt a policy
to rebate 25°/ to those property owners who pay their full
assessment within 5 days following the hearing confirming assess-
ments, and to amend the fiscal year 1977 -78 budget to include funds
for the project, seconded by Councilman Atkins and carried, with
Councilman Tyrell, who arrived during the testimony, abstaining:
8 PUBLIC HEARING: 7:30 p.m. STREET IMPROVEMENTS, HALIFAX STREET, FREER
TO KEY WEST, EAST SIDE ONLY (Curb, gutter and driveway approaches
pursuant to Chapter 27, Streets and Highways Code)
City Manager Koski presented background information stating the
City Council, at their regular meeting held January 3, 1978, received
petitions for the installation of curb, gutter and driveway approaches
from property owners on the east side of Halifax from Freer Street
to Key West, representing 71% of the front footage of the block.
The project comes under a Categorical Exemption as defined under the
Environmental Quality Act of 1970 as amended. City's share of the
construction is estimated to be $23,601, property owners' share is
estimated to be $9,773; property owners were notified of their
estimated costs based on $6 per lineal foot for curb and gutter and
$1.50 per square foot for driveway approaches. The subject project
will be included in one bid-package with Alessandro Avenue and Camino
Real project with the same bidding situation.
Mayor Merritt declared the public hearing open and invited those
wishing to speak to come forward.
Bernise Johnson, 5218 Halifax, inquired whether a driveway approach
could be constructed for their 25 foot driveway. City Manager Koski
advised that presuming a legal driveway exists, the apron can be
constructed to that width.
John Bergstrom, 5228 Halifax, inquired how the estimated cost was
calculated. City Manager Koski advised the total width of the pro-
perty is included to calculate the cost for curb and gutter, and
then the square footage is calculated separately for the driveway
apron.
Ivan Scheer, 5244 Halifax, stated he had not seen the petition which
was circulated, expressing dissatisfaction with the way petitions
are circulated because he did not have an opportunity to work toward
defeating it.
James Kent, 5122 Halifax, stated he had circulated the petition, had
made an attempt to see Mr. Scheer and when he was unsuccessful, had
not pursued the matter. Mr. Kent stated this project was turned down
several years ago when the cost was between $3 and $4 per foot, the
estimate late in 1977 was $5.75 which has already escalated to S6,
and next year it will be another dollar higher and the project will
never get done. He said the project limits is one of the few areas
in Temple City which does not have curb and gutter which causes a
hazardous situation for parking as there is no definitive parking
area; it is impossible to landscape or to even mow the front lawn;
the street sweeper is useless in the general area; and the lack of
curb and gutter encourages bicycle and motorcyclists to cut across
his lawn creating a hazard. Mr. Kent advised if curb and gutter
is not approved at this time, he will support another petition next
year.
Hector Seguin, 5012 Halifax, stated he would like to widen his
14 foot driveway to a double driveway, and was advised he could
adjust the width of his driveway if he would advise staff prior to
commencement of the work.
In answer to a question from Mrs. Nowell, 5236 Halifax, City Manager
Koski advised the City would provide hackfill from the curb to the
property line.
