The remainder of the. Planning Commission memo was received and filed. 6. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: A. ORDINANCE NO. 85-579 (2nd reading) PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMEND- MENT REQUIRING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR PROJECTS WITH THREE OR MORE RESIDENTIAL UNITS PER LOT IN THE R -2, R -3 AND R -4 ZONES City Manager provided background information stating that on December 17, 1986, City Council considered the Planning Commission recommendation for an Ordinance Amendment requir- ing Conditional Use Permits for projects with ten or more residential units per lot in the R -2, R -3 and R -4 zones, and introduced Ordinance No. 85 -579 for first reading by title only, changing the proposed' ordinance to require Con- ditional Use Permits for projects with three, rather than ten, or more residential units per lot. City Council referred the change to the Planning Commission for review and con- sideration. The Commission supported the amended ordinance requiring a Conditional Use Permit for projects with three or more residential units per lot in the subject zones. Should Ordinance No. 85 -579 be adopted it would terminate the moratorium placed on new uses and on building permits relating to apartment complexes involving more than three units pursuant to Ordinance No. 85 -575.

NEW BUSINESS: A. RECOMMENDATION FROM TRAFFIC COMMISSION MEETING OF JANUARY 8, 1986 - TEMPLE CITY KIWANIS CLUB LINE OF DIMES, JANUARY 31, 1986 City Manager Koski advised that the Kiwanis Club has reques- ted permission to hold their. annual Line of Dimes on Janu- ary 31, 1986 from 10:00. a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and have also requested that the signals at Las Tunas Drive and Temple City Boulevard be put on four -way flashing red sequence dur- ing the event. The Kiwanis Club carries an insurance policy of $1,000,000.and the March of Dimes carries $5,000,000. However, after having a discussion with the Joint Powers Insurance Authority, City Manager Koski stated that not only are there difficulties with potential personal injury, but also some of the civil rights aspects.of impeding the public's freedom of access to the public streets. In addition, calls are received immediately following and during the event com- plaining about the potential traffic hazards as well as indi- viduals feeling intimidated. Councilman Atkins stated that he will abstain from the dis- cussion as he is a member of the Kiwanis Club. Councilman Gillanders commended the Kiwanis Club for their efforts in behalf of the March of Dimes, but felt that the project placed the City, the JPIA and individual members of the Council in an extremely untenable situation. He felt that more in the way of safety precautions must be provided for, and that at 4:00 p.m. there is maximum flow of traffic. Mike Miller, 5926 Temple City Boulevard, president of the Kiwanis Club, stated that the Line of Dimes is a very worthy project and he also is very concerned about the liability issue. However, to his knowledge, there has never been a major claim filed against the club for an accident during the Line of Dimes. If there are added safety precautions to be taken, Mr. Miller said that the club would be more than happy to cooperate. Chuck Shaw, board member of the Kiwanis Club, stated that he felt the club members would be agreeable to shortening the time of the event.. to 3:00 p.m. rather than 4:00. Councilman Froehle stated that he hoped everyone in atten- dance realized that any reservations expressed by the Council members was because of possible litigation should an accident occur during the event and all members had a very high regard for the Kiwanis;Club's cause. Councilman Swain commended the project and suggested that the Kiwanis Club be allowed to hold their Line of Dimes this year with some new restrictions; hold a meeting bet- ween the Kiwanis Club and City staff to discuss safety pre - cautions; and recommend to the Kiwanis Club that they look to a new way in which to raise money for the March of Dimes next year. Mayor Dennis stated that the Kiwanis Club has held this event for a great number of years with an unblemished safety record and, it was his opinion, that they should be allowed to hold it again this year. Councilman Swain moved to allow the Kiwanis Club to hold their annual Line of Dimes on January 31, 1986, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with details of traffic flow and safety precautions to be worked out with City staff, secon- ded by Councilman Froehle and unanimously carried with Councilman Atkins abstaining. 1S 164 Council Minutes, January 21, 1986 - Page 4 B. PUBLIC-HEARING: CURB & GUTTER IMPROVEMENTS-7 SOUTH SIDE OF GRAND AVENUE, ARCADIA WASH.TO McCLINTOCK.AVENUE (Pursuant to Chapter 27 Improvement Act of 1911, Streets and Highways Code) City Manager Koski stated that petitions were prepared at the request of Russ Linderman, 10766 Grand Avenue and given to him for circulation among property owners on Grand Avenue between the Arcadia Wash and McClintock Avenue. The peti- tions request the installation of approximately 100 lineal feet of integral curb and gutter on the south side of the block. Council's attention was directed to the copy of Mr. and Mrs. Linderman's.request that they did not want driveway approaches constructed. City Manager Koski pointed out, however, that construction of curb and gutter badly damages driveway approaches and, therefore, they will have to be constructed. Work should commence within 60 -90 days. Mayor Dennis opened the public hearing and invited those interested to speak .. to come forward. Herbert Sercum, father of the resident at 10770 East Grand Avenue, stated he and his daughter were in favor of the project. There being no one else wishing to speak, Councilman Gillanders moved to close the public hearing, seconded by Councilman Atkins and unanimously carried. Councilman Atkins moved to accept the petitions requesting construction of street improvements on the south side of Grand Avenue between the Arcadia Wash and McClintock Avenue; find the project to be in the best public interest; and instruct the Superintendent of Streets to cause work to be done, seconded by Councilman Gillanders and unanimously carried. C. PUBLIC HEARING: STREET LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS - PAL MAL AVENUE, OLIVE STREET TO FREER STREET (Pursuant to Chapter 27, Improvement Act of 1911, Streets and Highways Code) City Manager Koski advised that petitions were prepared at the request of Patricia Childress, 5336 Pal Mal Avenue and given to him for circulation among property owners on Pal Mal between Olive and. Freer Streets. The petitions requested .. installation of three 5800 lumen high pressure sodium vapor street lights on two existing wood poles and one new pole with overhead service. All ten of the property owners involved signed the petition. There will be no cost to the property owners; however, the annual street light assessment for operation and maintenance will be $11.50 per house after installation of these lights. It will be 45 - 60 days before installation takes place. Mayor Dennis declared the public hearing open and invited anyone wishing to speak to come forward There being no one wishing to address Council, Councilman Swain moved to close the public hearing, seconded by Coun- cilman Gillanders and unanimously carried. Councilman Atkins moved to find the project to be in the best public interest and certify the Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact; instruct the Superintendent of Streets to cause work to be done; and approve the transfer of properties to Zone A of the Lighting District, seconded by Councilman Gillanders and unanimously carried. 1 5 1 3 Council Minutes, January 21, 1986 - Page 5 D. PUBLIC HEARING: APPEAL OF DECISION OF THE PLANNING COM- MISSION DENYING A REQUEST FOR ZONE VARIANCE TO ALLOW RE- DUCED SETBACKS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF A GARAGE AT 5225 DOREEN: APPELLANT: ROBERT MADDEN City Manager Koski provided background information stating that at the December 10 meeting of the Planning Commission a resolution making a front yard determination and denying a zone variance to allow construction of a new two -car gar - age and workshop with reduced setbacks for a tierred lot located at 5225 Doreen Avenue was adopted. The applicant had requested a zone variance to allow construction of a 24' x 30', two -car garage and workshop with a 3' setback from the south and east property lines, while 5' setbacks are required pursuant to the zoning code. Planning Com- mission found no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property; that the vari- ance is not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a property right possessed by other property similarly situated; and that there is no hardship as to the property in that a legal two -car garage could be constructed on site without a variance; and that even the larger garage structure could be redesigned and /or relocated on site so as to meet the needs of the applicant and comply with all zoning code requirements. Staff has prepared four possible alternative designs which comply with all code standards from which Mr. Madden could choose. A copy of a petition signed by Mr. Madden's neighbors approving of his proposed garage was supplied each Councilman. Planning Director Shaw showed a video with commentary des- cribing the location and proposed structure. Mayor Dennis declared the public hearing open and invited anyone wishing to speak to come forward. Robert Madden, 5225 Doreen Avenue, stated that it was his intention to have his vehicles, including a camper, parked inside a garage with a workshop and storage area within the same structure. The height of his proposed garage would be 12 feet and the standard garage is 8 feet. Many of the garages in Mr. Madden's neighborhood are pre- existing non - conforming structures and, therefore, do not have the 5 -foot setback as presently required. There being no one else wishing to speak, Councilman Gil - landers moved to close the public hearing, seconded by Councilman Froehle and unanimously carried. Councilman Atkins understood Mr.;;Madden's desire to house his recreational vehicle and create a workshop for himself on his premises. However, Mr. Madden has not shown any basis to grant a variance since there is no particular hardship on the property. Councilman Froehle stated that, in order to grant a vari- ance to the code, there must be a unique or extraordinary circumstance. Mr. Madden does have ample room to build his proposed structure. Councilman Gillanders agreed with the Councilmen; however, the structure is hidden from view as far as his neighbors are'concerned and sees nothing wrong with the aesthetics of the garage. Councilman Gillanders would be in favor of granting the variance. Councilman Swain concurred with Councilmen Atkins and Froehle in that the criteria to grant a variance have not been met. Mr. Madden has received alternative designs from the City's Planning Department - all of which comply with code. Mayor Dennis commended Mr. Madden for his efforts to improve his property. However, there are alternative designs which have been provided Mr. Madden that are'within code require -1 162 Council Minutes, January 21, 1986 - Page 6 Councilman Atkins moved to uphold the decision of the Planning Commission in denying a request for zone variance to allow reduced setbacks in conjunction with the construc- tion of a garage at 5225 Doreen, seconded by Councilman Froehle and carried on -a roll call vote. ROLL CALL: AYES- Councilmen- Atkins, Froehle, Swain, Dennis NOES- Councilmen- Gillanders E PUBLIC HEARING: APPEAL OF DECISION OF THE PLANNING COM- MISSION DENYING A REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A CHILD DAY CARE CENTER AT 5603 AND 5607 TEMPLE CITY BOULEVARD; APPELLANT: CENTURY PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP City Manager Koski provided background information stating that at their regular meeting of. November 26, 1985, the Planning Commission by a 3 to 1 vote, denied a request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a day care center at the subject addresses. The Commission found that the proposed use was not adequate in size, shape, topography and circum- stances, even with the agreement for joint use of parking facilities in that there would almost certainly be a con- flict with the church use and that the proposed use would have an adverse effect upon the use and enjoyment or valu- ation of adjacent property. On December 5 Century Pacific Partnership appealed the Planning Commission's decision stating that 1) with the conditions of approval as recom- mended by City staff, the proposed project will meet the findings required for the granting of a CUP; 2) the pro- posed project will provide a substantial benefit to the residents of Temple City by providing a much- needed day care facility; and 3) based on experience of an existing day care facility on Rosemead Boulevard in the City, there would be no adverse impact on street traffic caused by a day care facility. Public, hearing has been set for this evening and surrounding properties have been so noticed. Planning Director Shaw showed a video of the property, adjacent neighboring homes and the Grace Brethren Church giving a description of the proposed conversion to a day care center and the parking agreement with the church. Mayor Dennis declared the public hearing open and invited anyone wishing to speak to come forward. Eric Faith, attorney representing the Century Pacific Partnership, 635 West Foothill Boulevard, Monrovia 91016 -2097, stated that the .recommendation made by the Traffic Engineer whereby the proposed circular driveway be redesigned so as to tie in with the church's driveway allowing more space for the drop -off and pick -up of children and to allow direct access into the parking spaces has been formulated into an agreement between the Grace Brethren Church and Century Pacific Partnership. Upon checking with the director of the Young People's Village on Rosemead and Garibaldi, Mr. Faith said he was told that no traffic problems seem to arise when parents drop off or pick up children from the day care;, and, Rosemead Boulevard being a State highway is more busy at any time than Temple City Boulevard. Parents were in- structed to park off to the side if they were planning to stay longer to meet with a teacher. Weston Pringle, traffic engineer retained by Century Pacific, 2651 East Chapman, Fullerton, stated that his firm has conducted a traffic study for four other pre- schools in various communities, and it has been determined that approxi- mately .2 cars per student arrive and depart during the peak traffic hours. It was determined that Temple City Boulevard during peak traffic hours could handle more cars than already travel the street;. and, therefore, the day care center should create no traffic problem or hazards. IS Council Minutes, January 21, 1986 - Page 7 Pastor David Willett, Temple City Grace Brethren Church, 5537 North Temple City Boulevard, advised that he and other representatives of the church have spoken several times with Century Pacific Partnership representatives and were unani- mous that the church would work to assist the partners in providing the City's requirement for parking facilities and the driveway. Parents would also be allowed to park in the church parking lot should they wish to meet with a teacher during the day since the church holds their meet- ings in the evenings and would not require use of their lot except after 7:30 p.m. It was felt that the upgrading of the property would benefit the church as well as the rest of the neighborhood since the rentals posed some problems of nuisances. The agreement which the church presently has with the partnership is for five years with an additional five years if their program continues. Pastor Willett wanted Council to know that, should additional parking be requested for the day care,.the church would be willing to work with the day care in providing the extra spaces. Councilman Atkins inquired of City Attorney Martin if he has seen the agreement and, if so, would he comment on it. City Attorney Martin stated that, should the parking agree- ment cease to exist, the Conditional Use Permit would auto- matically fail. The partnership is obligated to counter- sign that condition prior to moving in. John Stacey, 5626 Gracewood Avenue, a member of the con- gregation of the Temple City Grace. Brethren Church, said that the properties in question_ have always been poorly kept during the five years that he has been a member of the church, and the day care center would be a welcome change as it would upgrade the area. Mr. Stacey also remarked that he had counted the number of day care centers in the sur- rounding area, which totalled 33, and that only two are located within Temple City. This fact would indicate that another day care center within the City would be a welcome addition. Kenneth Whiteley, 5600 Temple City Boulevard, directly opposite the two homes proposed for the day care center, stated that his home is a front unit adjacent to the side - walk and he is well aware of the traffic conditions on Temple City Boulevard. It was his opinion that the day care center would increase the amount of traffic and pose traffic haz- ards. Tom Shaub, 5526 Temple City Boulevard, said that he has witnessed many,;: accidents on Temple City Boulevard and feels a child care center on this street would only increase traffic hazards. Don Zimmer, 9552 Wedgewood, stated that his home borders Temple City Grace Brethren Church and at the present time the YMCA conducts after - school day care on the premises of the church. Mr. Zimmer finds the noise objectionable and would, therefore, be against having a day care center with approximately 80 children so close to his home. John Gallagher, 9558 Wedgewood, stated that his backyard butts up to the backyard of the proposed day care center. Due to the proximity of his property to the day care center's play- ground and the church's driveway, Mr. Gallagher was con- cerned about the noise and confusion brought about by having a day care center as a neighbor. He suffers from high blood pressure and feels this noise and confusion will aggrevate his blood pressure. In rebuttal, Eric Faith pointed out to Council the effort Cybele Lee and the partnership . has gone to in order to work out the best possible solution to the various concerns that have been raised.. The church has worked closely making 15 160 Council Minutes, January 21, 1986 - Page 8 a generous offer to solve the parking problem and Mrs. Lee has attempted to orient the facilities to minimize any impact on the surrounding properties in terms of noise. The property is somewhat blighted at the present time and the proposed improvements planned by the day care center would upgrade the neighborhood. In addition, the proposed facility would provide :a needed community service. There being no one else wishing to speak, Councilman Gil - landers moved to close the public hearing, seconded by Councilman Froehle and unanimously carried. Councilman Swain noted that Temple City does have a great need for a day care center, and the proposed day care cen- ter would likely upgrade the neighborhood. Also, the noise factor from the facility would probably not be as great as neighbors think. However, the traffic impact is of great concern to her. Using the traffic study made in May of 1984, approximately 1,000 cars travel Temple City Boulevard between the hours of 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. With the added fact that directly across the street from the proposed day care center is a condominium housing approximately 39 families, Councilman Swain expressed her concern about the impact of the day care center on traffic, and would not be in favor of such a facility on this street. Councilman Gillanders expressed his high regard for Grace Brethren Church and its pastor, Reverend Willett, for all their efforts in behalf of the day care center. How- ever, traffic also was of concern to him. Cars slowing to make a turn into the driveway and those cars attempting to enter the traffic from a driveway are going to have an adverse impact on traffic in the neighborhood. Also, Councilman Gillanders felt that neighbors had a right to reasonable tranquility in their neighborhood and they would not enjoy this should a day care center be approved. Councilman Froehle concurred with the comments made by Councilmen Swain and Gillanders and opposed development. Councilman Atkins agreed that it was a needed service in the City. However,, he believed that Mr. Gallagher, due to his proximity to the day care center, would be affected by the noise as would other neighbors in the vicinity, and also the traffic hazard of the day care center on Temple City Boulevard was of great concern to him, and was also opposed to the day care facility. Councilman Atkins moved to deny the appeal of the decision of the Planning Commission denying a request for a Con- ditional Use Permit to allow a day care center for 80 chil- dren at 5603 -5607 Temple City Boulevard, seconded by Councilman Froehle and unanimously carried. 8. COMUNICATIONS: None 9. TIME FOR THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISH TO SPEAK: Lou Merritt, 5418 Cloverly Avenue, recommended that Council check the traffic signal timing at the intersection of Temple City Boulevard and Woodruff. Several senior citizens have expressed their dissatisfaction with the length of time the light allows pedestrians to cross the street. 1 r Council Minutes, January 21, 1986 - Page 9 Harry Crump, 9902 Daines Drive, stated that he also came across a problem with the signal being very short to allow him to cross Temple City Boulevard on Woodruff. Councilman Atkins moved to refer the matter of traffic signal timing throughout the City to the Traffic Commission, seconded by Councilman Swain and unanimously carried. Debbie Tarrin, 9665 Workman Avenue, addressed Council on the problems she has encountered with the Dial -a -Ride system and requested that the City look into it. She also brought a note of complaint from Charles Infantino, 59342 Primrose Avenue, indicating that he also has had long waits for a Dial -a -Ride cab to pick him up. Mayor Dennis stated that City staff will look into the matter of Dial -a -Ride service and get back to Mrs. Tarrin regarding their findings. RECESS TO CRA: At this time Council, recessed to meet as the Temple City Com- munity Redevelopment Agency; approved the Minutes of the regu- lar meeting of January 7, 1986; continued the request for approval of signage for C & R Clothiers to the February 4 meeting; and adopted Resolution No. CRA 260: Warrants and Demands. 10.
