ment consists of a residential planned development with 13 detached
single family homes taking access from a 36 foot wide private street

mately 2,000 sq. ft. inarea with varying floor plans and facades.
The project has been reviewed per the California Environmental Qual-
ity Act of 1970 and a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact
has been prepared.
Responding to Council inquiries, Planning Director Shaw stated the
approximate size of the lots vary from 3050 sq. ft. to 6400 sq. ft;
each home would cover around 40% of the lot; the density of the pro-
ject is 9.5 units per acre which is between low and medium density;
the adjacent county property is designated R -A 5000 (residential -
agricultural); and other adjacent properties within Temple City are
zoned R -1, R -2, R -3. He further stated that before the property was
annexed to Temple City, a previous developer processed a proposal
with the county for 25 condominiums on the same property and the
negative declaration had been approved by the county, but the project
was abandoned.
Planning Director Shaw presented a video of the premises and surround-
ing neighborhood.
Mayor Swain presented a letter which had been received from one of

ing to speak to come forward.

He stated further he had filed a complaint with the Sheriff's Depart-
ment and Internal Affairs in a timely manner, but nothing had been
done.
Councilman Tyrell stated that Temple City contracts with Los Angeles
County for law enforcement services; and for the City of Temple City
to become involved in any manner, a complaint would have to have been
filed within 100 days from the date of the incident; and inthe absence
of such complaint the City Council has no authority to intercede in
the matter.
Lt. Bill Mangan, Temple City Sheriff's Station, stated Mr. Nappi
has the right to take it up with any other governmental agency,

C. POLITICAL SIGNS
City Attorney Martin reported to Council that in the matter of
Taxpayers for Vincent vs. City of Los Angeles, which had been
appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court, the Supreme Court did rule today
and reversed the Circuit'''Courts opinion'holding that the Los Angeles
City Ordinance was valid and that cities do have control over the
political posting on public property including the public utilities.
Councilman Tyrell moved that the City Attorney be directed to prepare
an ordinance which is within the confines of the Supreme Court ruling,
and submit to the Council, seconded by Councilman Gillanders and
unanimously carried.
D. EMERGENCY PHONE "9-1-1"
Mayor Swain stated the use of the emergency phone number had en-
countered a problem not previously anticipated in that if an estab-
lishment has a central phone number originating in a different city,
the law enforcement agency would locate the address by the central
phone location. The same would be true with the School District
which has one central phone at Longden for all the schools in the
Temple City Unified School District. If one of the schools called
the emergency number and did not give their address,the law enforce-
ment agency would go to the Longden address where the central phone
is located.

meeting adjourned at 8:24 p.m. Next regular meeting of the City
Council will be held Tuesday, June 5, 1984, 7:30 p.m. in the Council
