rather than 1988, and that this error should be
noted.
Councilman Dennis moved to approve the request of
the Temple City Unified School District to use the
tennis courts at Live Oak Park on the dates and
times indicated in the staff memo dated July 17,
1987, with the correction in date noted, and sub-
ject to the required Certificate of Insurance,

ried.
Council Minutes, 8/4/87 - Page 3
G. (1) TRAFFIC ENGINEER SERVICES, FY 1987 -88
Councilman Atkins noted an increase in Mr. Envall's
monthly rate and inquired if this was due to an
increase in duties.
City Manager Koski responded that Mr. Envall's
duties will remain the same, and that the increase
only reflects a cost of living increase.
Councilman Dennis moved to approve the Agreement
with Mr. Envall for the Fiscal Year 1987 -88 as
stipulated in the staff memo dated July 27, 1987,
seconded by Councilman Swain and carried, with
Councilman Atkins and Mayor Gillanders objecting to
the increase in rate.
J. ACCEPTANCE OF BID - TEMPLE CITY PARK IMPROVEMENTS
Councilman Swain reviewed the recommendations received
from staff and from Recreation Systems, Inc. regarding
the two bids received on the project as there had been
some question as to the licensing requirements being met
by the Steven Schultz Co., which'was the low bidder on
the project.
Councilman Atkins stated that staff was correct in
pursuing an investigation of the types of licenses which
would qualify for the project involved. Since Mr.
Schultz has a "C" category license, he is not entitled
to do class "A" or "B" work; also his bid was five
minutes late whereas the other bidder had the appropri-
ate license and the bid was received on time.
Councilman Atkins moved to reject the low bid of Steven
Schultz Co. and accept the bid of Terra -Cal Construction
Inc. in the amount of $65,200 for the Temple City Park
improvements project, seconded by Councilman Swain and
unanimously carried.
6. UNFINISHED BUSINESS:

FROM THE ADOPTED GENERAL PLAN TO PERMIT DEVELOPMENT AT A
DENSITY OF 36 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE RATHER THAN THE
MAXIMUM LIMIT CURRENTLY PERMITTED OF 24 DWELLING UNITS
PER ACRE
Mayor Gillanders stated that a letter from Mr. Huang
dated August 3 has been received requesting a continu-
ance as the staff memo and agenda for this evening's
meeting had not yet been received by the Huang's.
Councilman Atkins moved to continue the appeal to the
meeting of August 18, 1987, seconded by Councilman
Froehle and unanimously carried.
B. ORDINANCE NO. 87- 6 10 (2ND READING) CHANGE IN ZONING FOR

BOULEVARD FROM LONGDEN SOUTH TO ELM AND ON THE WEST SIDE
OF SULTANA FROM LONGDEN TO ELM
City Manager Koski advised that City Council on July 21,
1987 gave Ordinance No. 87 -610 its first reading. All
the area proposed for rezoning as it appeared in the
public notices was approved. Council directed staff to
consider the land use at 8919 Hermosa for future study
and possible General Plan amendment.

Council Minutes, 8/4/87 - Page 4
Councilman Atkins moved to waive further reading and
adopt Ordinance No. 87- 610,. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY APPROVING ZONE CHANGE
87 -837, seconded by Councilman Swain and unanimously
carried.
7. NEW BUSINESS:
A. PUBLIC HEARING: APPEAL OF DECISION OF PLANNING COMMIS-
SION ZONE VARIANCE 87 -846 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
86 -807 (5945 PRIMROSE)
City Manager Koski provided background information
stating that on July 14, 1987 the Planning Commission
approved a Conditional Use Permit to add three new
residential dwelling units to the subject location which
is currently improved with a single family dwelling. A
number of minor variances were also approved to allow
slightly undersized garages, slightly undersized turning
areas and a- 10- -foot wide driveway instead of the re-
quired 16 feet. The primary concern, relative to this
project, relates to the side yard requirements for
apartments. • In terms of yard requirements, the Zoning
Code requires a 5 -foot setback; however, for apartment
development the side yard requirements `is 10 feet for
the first story and 15 feet for the second story. At
the Planning Commission meeting of June 23, 1987, the
Planning Commission adopted a policy that Conditional
Use Permits, which are required for projects with three
or more units, should meet the 10 -foot and 15 -foot side
yard requirements. Since this policy referred to new
applications only, the subject proposal at 5945 Primrose
Avenue was approved with 5 -foot setbacks. Many proper-
ties in the immediate area are similarly developed with
one- and two -story structures 5 feet from the side
property lines. The subject proposal, although rather
compact, would not be inconsistent with other existing
developments in this particular block.
Community Development Director Dawson gave a video
presentation of the subject site and the neighborhood.
Mayor Gillanders declared the public hearing open and
invited those wishing to address the matter to come
forward at this time.
Richard Dearth, 4533 Clubhouse Drive, Lakewood, stated
that his son resides at the subject property and both
father and son are co- owners. It was the intention of
the Dearths to develop the subject property for the
benefit of the community by developing it, and felt that
the proposed development fit in and would not conflict
with the immediate neighborhood.
Ron Dearth, 5945 Primrose Avenue, advised that the
Planning Department staff had recommended that the
Dearth's open the garage from the rear of the alley
rather than from the front of the driveway and move the
trash bin to the side yard, which they would be agree-
able to do. He also mentioned that application for
three units was made just prior to the moratorium being
placed on new construction. It was the understanding of
the Dearth's that their project would be placed on the
Planning Commission agenda immediately following the
lifting of the moratorium.
Charlene Fisher, 5722 Kauffman Avenue, inquired as to
the size of the lot and how it is zoned under the pro-
posed General Plan.
_ 83
Council Minutes, 8/4/87 - Page 5
City Manager Koski responded that the lot has a total
area of 8,750 square feet or .20 acres and the density
would allow four units to be erected.
It was Mrs. Fisher's opinion that the City should listen
to the residents of the community and the residents have
made it clear that they wish to have the new zoning
restrictions adhered to. Also, the reduced side yard
setback would be encroaching on neighbors' privacy. Mrs.
Fisher did not feel any exceptions should be made re-
gardless of when application was made.
Councilman Dennis inquired about a diagram or informa-
tion on properties in the immediate area which were
developed under the old code.
Mr. Dawson showed a land use map showing the development
of the adjoining properties. He indicated that there
was a duplex and two single - family dwellings on the lot
immediately to the north, two separate units immedi-
ately to the south, and the entire block behind the
alley west of the subject site is developed with multi-
ple units up to as high as seven dwelling units on a
lot. The proposed development is consistent with the
present development of the area and is consistent with
the amended General Plan.
As no one else wished to address the City Council on the
project, Councilman Swain moved to close the public
hearing, seconded by Councilman Dennis and unanimously
carried.
Councilman Dennis stated that he would have a problem
approving the narrow, long driveway and having only a
24 -foot turn - around area. It was Councilman Dennis's
opinion that Council had an obligation to go with the
precedent set regarding side yard setbacks regardless of
when application for the project was made.
Councilman Swain stated that the front house on the
property would give the impression that only a single -
family home exists as all developed lots in the area do.
Should the Dearth's desire, they could tear down the
existing home and build out closer to the property life
in order to conform to the side yard setback require-
ments and thereby upset the conformity of structures in
the neighborhood. Councilman Swain indicated she was in
favor of the project as presented with the modification
with respect to the rear garages opening to the alley.
Councilman Atkins concurred that the new guidelines
should be adhered to regardless of when application for
the project was made.
Councilman Froehle stated that, although he strongly
supports the new side yard setbacks, for the sake of
fairness, a variance in this particular case should be
allowed as application was made just prior to the mora-
torium, the project will conform with present develop-
ment in the neighborhood, and no complaints by neighbors
were lodged.
Mayor Gillanders stated his concerns lie with the
slightly- undersized garages, slightly- undersized turning
area, a 10 -foot wide driveway rather than the required
16 feet, and non - conformance with the required side yard
setbacks.

B. PUBLIC HEARING: APPEAL OF DECISION OF PLANNING COMMIS-
SION - ZONE VARIANCE 87 -826 (9517 GIDLEY)
City Manager Koski provided background information
stating that on July 14, 1987 the Planning Commission
approved an industrial building in the M -1 zone with "0"
rear and side yards, a height of 28 feet at the property
line, and with a perceived lot coverage of 68% rather
than the allowed 50 %. The Zoning Code requires a 5 -foot
side yard and a 15 -foot rear yard on industrial sites
which abut R -1. The M -1 zone currently allows a maximum
height of 35 feet; however, it could be an infringement
upon abutting residentially- zoned - properties if devel-
oped to this maximum height directly on the property
line. Staff has recommended the the variance be ap-
proved with the stipulation that, within the first 10
feet of the rear yard area, the structure be 10 feet
high; within the second 10 -foot increment, the structure
should be another 10 feet high; and, the remaining
portion of the building would be set back still another
10 feet.
Mayor Gillanders declared the public hearing open and
invited anyone wishing to address the matter come for-
ward at this time.
Councilman Dennis requested that the representative from
the Fire Department respond to questions from the City
Council regarding fire hazards. Councilman Dennis asked
Chief McCann what were the implications of the setbacks
and a lot line with such use as a warehouse where there
is no control over what use the warehouse is being put
to.
Assistant Fire Chief Harold McCann, 864 Balboa Drive,
Arcadia, responded that the Fire Department would hope
to have control. At the time the plans are submitted,
the Fire Department confers with the developer and the
specifications are established according to the use of
the building. Frequently the use changes and, there-
fore, the only control the Department would have would
be through the Certificate of Occupancy. According to
the Fire Code, the building may be built on the property
line; however, the wall on the property line cannot have
any type of opening. Should the wall be 5 to 10 feet
from the property line, the openings must be approved
and protected; and beyond 10 feet, regular windows and
doors are permitted as approved by the Building Code.
Councilman Swain stated that the original proposal was
changed to a "0" setback from the property line at the
request of the property owner abutting the subject
location as it was the opinion of the neighbor that a
setback may become a property nuisance with unsightly
storage of equipment or neglected vegetation. Council-
man Swain inquired of Chief McCann if he has found this
to be a common problem of commercial buildings; and he
concurred that it was.
Council Minutes, 8/4/87 - Page 7
Daryl Thomas, owner of 9517 Gidley Street, advised that
he was in receipt of a letter from his neighbor directly
behind his property reiterating the reasons for the
neighbor's desire for a "0" setback. Mr. Thomas pro-
duced this letter and another letter from a nearby resi-
dent for Council's inspection and for the records.
Another reason for the request, which was not mentioned
in previous testimony nor indicated in the letter, Mr.
Thomas indicated that the solid wall at the property
line would buffer the noise. He went on to say that it
was his intention to make the structure as architec-
turally eye - pleasing as possible and to provide at his
expense trees to be placed at the neighbor's rear lot
line.
Councilman Dennis inquired as to what use Mr. Thomas
proposed for the building.
Mr. Thomas responded that he does a lot of machine -shop
type of work which requires him to store building type
materials, i.e. ceiling tiles, -locks, etc. Although no
combustible material is stored on the premises, it was
Mr. Thomas's opinion that he will likely be required to
install a sprinkler system, but will wait to be told
that it is a requirement.
As no one else wished to address the Council on the
subject matter, Councilman Swain moved to close the
public hearing, seconded by Councilman Dennis and unani-
mously carried.
Councilman Froehle could see no problem with the project
noting that the building is aesthetically attractive and
neighbors have not lodged any objections.
Councilman Atkins was also in agreement with the pro-
posed zone variance, mentioning also that Mr. Thomas has
been very cooperative in working with his neighbors in
the construction of his building.
Councilman Swain concurred that the project will be an
attractive addition to the manufacturing area and will
set a precedent for the other small manufacturers who
come into the area.
Councilman Dennis stated he would be in favor of the
zone variance with the stipulation that a sprinkler
system be installed.
Mayor Gillanders concurred with Councilmembers' opinions
and would be in favor of the zone variance.
Councilman Swain moved to adopt Resolution No. 87 -2729,
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE
CITY APPROVING ZONE VARIANCE NO. 87 -826 RE: ALLOWING
CONSTRUCTION OF AN INDUSTRIAL BUILDING WITH NO SIDE OR
REAR YARDS WITH A PERCEIVED LOT COVERAGE OF 68% with the
additional requirement that sprinklers be installed,
seconded by Councilman Dennis and unanimously carried.
C. PUBLIC HEARING: ZONE CHANGE 87 -841, PROPOSED CHANGES IN
ZONING FOR THE AREA OF TEMPLE CITY GENERALLY LOCATED
EAST OF THE ARCADIA WASH NORTH TO LOWER AZUSA AND SOUTH
OF LIVE OAK
City Manager Koski stated this was the second in a
series of zone changes being processed in order to
comply with state law which requires all zoning to be
consistent with the General Plan. During the public
hearing process, the area on the southwest corner of
Live Oak and McCulloch was the focus of discussion. The
property owner felt that R -1 was not appropriate. The
5 480
Council Minutes, 8/4/87 - Page 8
area in question has a General Plan designation of
institutional, which is consistent with the convalescent
hospital on the property. The land area consists of two
lots, one lot being 1.24 acres and the other 1.60 acres.
It is adjacent to medium density residential on the
southeast, low density on the south and mostly commer-
cial in the area in the other two directions, which is
located in the City of Arcadia. Being a unique property
because of the size and location adjacent to commercial
uses, staff believes that R -3 would be the most appro-
priate zoning. It would be incumbent upon a future
developer to apply for an amendment to the General Plan
if a type of land use was proposed other than institu-
tional.
Mayor Gillanders declared the public hearing open and
invited anyone wishing to address the matter to come
forward at this time.
Anthony Straub, Jr., 5654 McCulloch, stated that he is
the property-owner of the lot located on the southwest
corner of Live Oak and McCulloch. Being surrounded by
commercial uses, and having a convalescent hospital on
one of his lots, it was Mr. Straub's opinion that his
property should not be down -zoned as drastically as an
R -1 designation.
Daryl Thomas, 5304 Glickman Avenue, stated that he is
familiar with the property in question and cannot imag-
ine anyone wishing to build a single - family home on Live
Oak with all the commercial activity going on in the
immediate vicinity; therefore, it seemed that an R -1
zoning would be highly inappropriate.
Ed I. Rossi, 5417 Santa Anita Avenue, asked the City
Council if the proposed zone change affected the prop-
erty at which he lived. Residents of his condo were
anxious to know if the zone change would have any effect
on them.
Councilman Dennis stated that their property would
remain zoned as it presently is and the zone change had
no effect at all.
As there was no one else wishing to address the City
Council on Zone Change 87 -841 Councilman Froehle moved
to close the public hearing, seconded by Councilman
Swain and unanimously carried.
Councilman Froehle was in favor of the proposed zone
change, but was concerned about the zoning of the prop-
erty of the convalescent hospital and adjacent residen-
tial home as he didn't feel comfortable with an R -1
zoning.
Councilman Atkins concurred with Councilman Froehle.
Councilman Dennis moved to approve the proposed Zone
Change as presented by the Planning Commission and to
designate the property at the southwest corner of Live
Oak and McCulloch as R -3, seconded by Councilman Swain
and unanimously carried.
City Attorney Martin introduced for first reading by
title only Ordinance No. 87 -T611, AN ORDINANCE OF THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY APPROVING ZONE
CHANGE 87 -841.
Councilman Froehle moved to waive further reading,
seconded by Councilman Atkins and unanimously carried.

9. TIME FOR THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISH TO SPEAK:
Steven Schultz of Steven Schultz Company, 2178 East Villa
Street, Pasadena, inquired as to who was awarded the Temple
City Park Improvement Project.
Mayor Gillanders advised Mr. Schultz that the project was
awarded to the second low bidder, Terra -Cal Construction due
to the inappropriate type of license and the fact that the
bid from Steven Schultz Company was five minutes late.
City Manager Koski advised that the letter from the engi-
neering company suggested that the Schultz Company could
probably handle the project; however, the company had a
specialty license rather than an A or B type of license, and
the City Council did - -not feel the company-qualified pursuant
to the Notice Inviting Bids.
Mr. Schultz stated that the specifications received asked
for a C -10 or C -26 and neither license profiles the total
scope of work required in the proposed project. Kathy
Cicak, an administrator with the State Contractors License
Board, and Mark Wendel of Recreation Systems, Inc. both
advised that a C -27 license, which is a license Schultz
presently holds, and an A license, which a member of the
Schultz staff holds, are the appropriate types of licenses
for the park improvement job.
City Attorney Martin inquired of Chief Deputy City Clerk
Willford if she opened the bids on the Temple City Park
Improvements and if the Schultz bid was stamped in by the
City Clerk's Office at 10:05 a.m. Chief Deputy City Clerk
Willford responded "yes" to both questions, and advised Mr.
Schultz that a photocopy of the time - stamped envelope would
be made available to him should he so desire.
Mr. Martin advised Mr. Schultz that it was the prerogative
of the City Council whether or not to consider the late
arrival of the bid from his company in awarding the con-
tract; also it was the prerogative of the Council as to
designate which type of license would be acceptable for the
proposed project.
Naomi Tewdall, 5013 Farago Street, inquired if the zone
change of the condominium directly across the street from
her would have any effect on her property. The property was
down -zoned from R -3 to R -2.
Council assured Ms. Tewdall that the zone change was only to
conform with the General Plan and had no adverse effect on
her property.
RECESS TO CRA:
At this time the City Council recessed to meet as the Temple
City Community Redevelopment Agency; approved the Minutes of
the meeting of July 21, 1987; approved the letter agreement
between the Agency and McGladrey Hendrickson & Pullen for FY
1987 -88; and adopted Resolution No. CRA 309: Warrants and
Demands. The Minutes of the Agency are set forth in full in
the Agency's records.

11. MATTERS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS:
A. SAN GABRIEL VALLEY ASSOCIATION OF CITIES - SOLID WASTE
MANAGEMENT TASK FORCE
Councilman Atkins stated that the Solid Waste Management
Task Force has come up with sufficient information to
warrant a feasibility study of transporting municipal
solid waste by rail to appropriate and willing locations
for ultimate disposal. The City has been requested to
contribute $1,687.
Councilman Swain, as a member of the Task Force, advised
that the sub - committee is not saying that trash by rail
is the solution only that the problem of waste disposal
is a problem that needs to be addressed immediately and
seriously. If transporting by rail is the solution, it
was Councilman Swain's opinion that it will be a very
costly solution; she also went on to say that they have
looked at source separation, curb -side separation,
composting and waste -to- energy burn plants. The reason
a request for funding is being made is that no such
study has ever been made and, therefore, no comparisons
can be made.
Councilman Atkins moved to approve the request of the
San Gabriel Valley Association of Cities' Solid Waste
Management Task Force for a contribution of $1,687 in
support of the feasibility study to be conducted, and
amend the adopted budget accordingly, seconded by Coun-
cilman Dennis and unanimously carried.
B. TRAFFIC COMMISSION RESIGNATION
Councilman Atkins moved to accept the resignation of Don
Kelker from the Traffic Commission with regret, seconded
by Councilman Swain and unanimously carried.
C. .CONSOLIDATED FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT - ESTABLISHMENT OF
USER FEES FOR PERMITS
City Manager Koski advised that correspondence was
received from the County Fire Department advising that
the Board of Supervisors is considering a number of
alternatives for recovering the cost of District opera-
tions. On August 6 the Board is conducting a hearing on
the establishment of these fees and Fire Chief Englund
requested input from the cities. These fees for per-
mits, inspections and plan reviews would be an alterna-
tive to a tax rate.
Councilmembers were in agreement that this was not yet
the appropriate time to take this matter under discus-
sion and tabled it for a future Study Session.
D. A & G BOOK STORE - PROPOSED SETTLEMENT OF PENDING LAW-
SUIT
City Council recessed at 9:20 p.m. to a Closed Session
to discuss with City Attorney Martin the proposed set-
tlement of the pending lawsuit with A & G Book Store.
1' 5 `7
Council Minutes, 8/4/87 - Page 11
At 9:30 p.m. the City Council reconvened.
City Attorney Martin stated that a settlement was pro-
posed in the pending lawsuit with A & G Book Store. A &
G will vacate the premises and both parties will assume
responsibility for their own separate legal costs.
Councilman Swain moved to accept the proposed settlement
from A & G Book Store, seconded by Councilman Froehle
and unanimously carried.
E. YOGURT JUNCTION - NEED FOR A BIKE RACK
Councilman Swain advised that, since the Yogurt Junction
is a popular place for the youth of our community to
frequent and most ride their bikes to get there, it is a
location in town which could use a bike rack. At the
present time bikes tend to block pedestrian passage in
front of the subject location. It was recommended that
the bike rack on the corner of Las Tunas and Camellia be
relocated to the Yogurt Junction as presently the rack
has little or no use at all.
F. JPIA ELECTION
Mayor Gillanders advised that the Southern California
Joint Powers Insurance Authority held their annual
election last week and the only change made was the
addition of a new Board Member, Mr. Lawson from Loma
Linda.
12. ADJOURNMENT:
On motion by Councilman Dennis, seconded by Councilman
Swain, the meeting of the City Council adjourned at 9:30
