The Mayor opened the public hearing for those in favor of the
project.
A. Edmond Cheng, representing owner Bill Lau, 1108 S. Garfield
Avenue, Alhambra, stated that they can no longer build the project as
previously submitted mainly due to the economy and that this design
is the best they can do under the present conditions.
B. Harold Hamilton, representing owner Bill Lau, 3259 Lockerbie
Lane, Glendale, summarized the history of the property from the
original plan of building apartments in 1989 to housing in 1994. At
present the project is approved by the Planning Commission for 17
units. Mr. Hamilton stated further that he felt the project would
help the value of the surrounding property. Area will be fenced and
gated and will have additional parking per unit and for guests.
C. Bill Lau, 1379 Sunnyslope, Monterey Park, stated that the
project has been changed from 13 units to 17 units because of the
market situation and the affordability of the homes.
At this time, those in opposition were invited to speak.
A. John Rauth, 4528 Bartlett, Rosemead, reminded Council that
he and Mr. Edmund Chan distributed a letter and petitions to the
Council in opposition of the project. Mr. Rauth pointed out various
lots he felt were substandard as follows: Lot #2, 3293 square feet;
#3, 3293; #4, 3293; #5, 3293; #6, 3293; #7, 3293; #16, 3330; #15,
3330; #14, 3330; #13, 3178; #12, 3600; #11, 4352; #10, 3657; #9,
4000; and #8, 3900. Mr. Rauth then referred to Ordinance No. 689,
the FAR ratio, and that most of the homes are in the 61% class and do
not conform to Code.
Mr. Rauth stated that he was also concerned with the density
problems along Mission Drive, especially with the development at 8835
Mission which is zoned C-1 with six homes that are going to be built
on 4500 square foot lots.
B. Elizabeth Roth, 4612 Bartlett, Rosemead, stated that she
opposes this substandard development..
C. Betty Rauth, 4528 Bartlett, Rosemead, stated that she
opposed this substandard development because the lot sizes do not
meet the requirements for the PD Zone 9128.
D. Paul Shipley, 4545 Bartlett Avenue, Rosemead, stated that he
is a Civil Engineer and has a background in Planning. Mr. Shipley
stated his concerns about the deficiencies in the open space areas as
it relates to various State Codes. Mr. Shipley referred to a
national study done whereby the higher the density, the more it costs
to service and maintain that area.
E. Edmund Chan, 4549 N. Muscatel, Rosemead, stated the
population in his area has increased more than twice in the past 6 to
7 years, due to the building of town houses, apartments, high density
homes and an office building, all within a three block area.
F. Carole Chan, 4549 N. Muscatel Avenue, Rosemead, stated that
her neighborhood is congested with cars, illegal.drug trafficking and
parked cars. She stated further that the homes become multiple home
dwellings with 5 or 6 cars parked in driveways and on the streets.
Mrs. Chan stated she is concerned for the safety of the children.
G. Marvin Stoffel, 4463 Bartlett Avenue, Rosemead, stated that
he lives on the south side of Bartlett and that during peak hours he
has to wait for 6-7 minutes to get onto Mission Drive and that the
traffic signals need to be synchronized. Mr. Stoffel further stated
that overparking is a problem, cars park on Bartlett also. Also,
cars parked on Mission close to the corner of Bartlett obstruct
visibility of oncoming cars.

H. Danny Dam, 4538 N. Bartlett Avenue, Rosemead, stated that he
opposes the development.
I. Juan Nunez, 2702 Del Mar Avenue, Rosemead, stated that he
opposes the project because of the high density, substandard lot
sizes, and floor ratios.
Harold Hamilton, speaking in rebuttal stated that in the City of
Los Angeles there are 15,000 substandard lots that must be developed.
Mr. Hamilton stated that the City of Los Angeles is trying to
establish affordable housing on those lots which range from 3200 to
4000 square feet. Mr. Hamilton explained that the City had down
zoned the lots in many cases to increase density, had budget problems
and tried to provide a way for the City to survive and still be able
to repair the streets and take of the needs of the people. Mr. Lau's
project will provide Rosemead with $9000 per unit or $153,000 for 17
units in fees based on Building Permits, school fees, sewer works,
and Parks and Recreation fees.
Edmond Cheng, speaking in rebuttal refuted the charge that they
have been dragging their feet on the project and stated that his firm
has been working on surveying plans, plan check, drawings, grading
plans and structural plans. The owner, Mr. Lau, may not be able to
get financing for the project unless a minimum of 17 homes are built
and that he deserves to have the project built.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked why the 13 units that were going to be
sold for $400,000 to $500,000 in 1990 will be selling for only
$230,000 if project is approved.
Mr. Cheng responded that they projected the going rate for homes
at that time upward as prices were escalating at least 10% a year.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked why they dropped the project in 1990.
Mr. Cheng responded that homes are not selling for that price now
and that it is difficult to get financing.
There being no one else wishing to speak, the public hearing was
closed.
Councilman Imperial stated that the Council needs to re-evaluate
what is happening in the City. Mr. Imperial further stated that the
Council should meet with the Planning commission to discuss the
City's current needs. Mr. Imperial agreed that while a 2,000 square
foot house is good, a 15' backyard is not. He, therefore, will not
vote for this project. Mr. Imperial pointed out that high density
housing will destroy neighborhoods. Therefore, he will vote to deny
this project as a favorable vote will be a vote to build blight for
the future.
Councilmember Clark asked for clarification of objections raised
by Mr. Rauth, namely, the 25% open air requirement, 15' from an R-1
zone, and the Floor Area Ratio (FAR).
Peter Lyons explained the formula for the open air requirement
and that this project meets that requirement at 50% open air space.
He further explained that the nursery, zoned R-1, abuts the project
to the north and west with multiple family dwellings to the east.
The project has 15' setbacks at the rear and second story sideyard
setbacks are 101. Mr. Lyons stated that the City adopted a floor
area ratio several years ago and there is a code requirement in the
R-1 and R-2 zones that require a 45% floor area ratio which was
established to prevent the "mansionization" of Rosemead. Mr. Lyons
further stated that this project is in the R-3 zone and is not
required to meet that floor area ratio.
Councilmember Joe Vasquez stated that eight people spoke up
against the project and asked those in the audience that lived in the
area who are not in favor to stand up. Fourteen people stood up.
Mr. Vasquez expressed his concern as to why the owner delayed the ,
project from 1990 to 1994.

Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated that Mr. Lau bought the project in
1990 and chose not to go ahead with the project which had Council's
approval to build 13 homes. Mr. Taylor referred to the 15,000
substandard lots that the City of Los Angeles has and that this
project does not meet the Planned Development requirements. This
project would cause the creation of 17 substandard lots. Mr. Taylor
stated that by correcting the PD zone from 6000 square feet, required
for a single family dwelling, to 4500 square feet, will encourage
future developers and owners to consolidate old lots to build more
homes, and that a situation will be created whereby there will be a
15' backyard setbacks for a four bedroom house. Mr. Taylor further
stated that the kids will not have a place to play, they will have to
play in the streets. Mr. Taylor stated that he cannot vote for this
project because there are too many units, P.D. requirements, and
backyard setbacks are not met.
Councilman Vasquez recommended that this project be denied.
Mayor Bruesch referred to the traffic problem on Mission near
Bartlett due to the State denying a left turn arrow on Mission onto
Rosemead Boulevard and requested staff to check the traffic signal
timing at Mission and Bartlett. Mr. Bruesch also requested that the
sheriff's check the northeast corner of Mission and Bartlett with
cars parked too close to the intersections.
Councilmember Clark stated that since there did not seem to be
opposition to the original 13 units, that it was unfortunate that the
project had been abandoned. Mrs. Clark clarified that this project
was not illegal according to PD standards, but it was still too high
density and she could not support it.
MOTION B1 COUNCILMEMBER VASQUEZ, SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER IMPERIAL
that Zone Change Case No. 93-198 be denied. Vote resulted:
Yes: Clark, Taylor, Bruesch, Vasquez, Imperial
No: None
Absent: None
Abstain: None
The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered.
A 5-minute recess was called at this time and the meeting was
reconvened accordingly.
III.LEGISLATIVE
The following item was taken out of order in deference to those
in the audience.
C. RESOLUTION NO. 94-46 - PROPOSED SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
- SAN GABRIEL COUNTY WATER DISTRICT
The following resolution was presented to the Council for
discussion:
RESOLUTION NO. 94-46
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD
GRANTING CONSENT TO THE FORMATION OF A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT
DISTRICT
Phillip Crocker, representing the San Gabriel County Water
District, 8366 Grand Avenue, Rosemead, stated that they are
requesting consent to do a special assessment to replace two 65-year
old, undersized, non-seismic safe reservoirs that do not have the
storage capability to meet fireflow or reserve storage requirements.
Mr. Crocker introduced members of his project team who will be making
presentations this evening: Mr. Byron, Project Engineer; Mr.
Peterson, Assessment Engineer; Mr. Rollab, Financial Consultant; and,
Mr. Devin, Bond Counsel.

Dave Byron, Project Engineer, representing the San Gabriel County
Water District, stated that the two existing sites which service this
area, the Van Nuys Reservoir and the Longden Avenue site located in
the City of San Marino, do not meet seismic or storage standards.
Mr. Byron explained that the District is proposing to demolish the
Van Nuys Reservoir and construct a 6.0 million gallon reservoir. The
Longden site proposal is to construct a 4.2 million gallon reservoir
to replace the existing abandoned reservoir. The proposed
construction would bring the total district storage capability to
13.2 million gallons and preliminary costs are estimated at $10
million.
Gayland Peterson, Assessment Engineer, representing the San
Gabriel County Water District, stated that parcels within the
district will benefit from the increased water system improvements.
Each parcel will be assessed depending on the size of the meter for
maximum day demand and fire flow requirements. Furthermore, a single
family dwelling will be assessed at approximately $950 with an option
to pay it off at $95 per year or pay in cash within 30 days for a
significant discount.
Larry Rollab, Financial Consultant, representing the San Gabriel
County Water District stated that the special assessment district
method of financing the construction was chosen to insure a fair and
equitable allocation of costs to all parcels, the flexibility of
financing for property owners, tax deductibility for owners, and the
low cost.
Warren Devin, Bond Counsel, representing the San Gabriel County
Water District, stated that under the procedural act of the Municipal
Improvement Act of 1913, which the District has chosen to follow,
requires a levying of assessments, and requests the City's consent to
form the assessment district. If not approved, properties in
Rosemead will not be included in the assessment district. Mr. Devin
explained that should that occur, the water district will then have
to come up with another source of funding for Rosemead's
proportionate share of the costs for the facilities. These
facilities are necessary to provide adequate fire flow, to ensure
seismic safety of water supply in the event of an earthquake, and to
provide the water level for services provided.
Juan Nunez, 2702 Del Mar, Rosemead, questioned if the water
company is stock owned and how do they get their revenues.
Frank Tripepi, City Manager, stated that the Company is an
independent special district.
Councilmember Clark inquired if the Council denies this, what are
the options that the water company has to impose taxes or fees to pay
for the project without the vote of either the Council or the people.
Mr. Devin responded that another option would be the use of
Certificates of Participation. Instead of the City issuing the
certificates under a lease-back arrangement, the water district would
do an installment sale which would not capitalize interest and would
bring the cost down. Mr. Devin stated that, nonetheless, the
district would have to implement higher water rates.
Councilmember Clark was told that the people will have to pay for
the reservoirs whether the assessment district is denied or not. If
that is the case, Mrs. Clark stated the necessity of obtaining the
lowest cost financing possible to lessen the cost to the residents.
Mrs. Clark inquired if the residents have been informed of this
project.
Mr. Devin responded that they are still in the planning stages
and need the consent of the overlapping jurisdictions before they
disseminate that information.

Councilmember Clark stated the Council's reluctance to impose an
assessment on the residents, but sees the value of reservoirs. Mrs.
Clark suggested that the water district develop a plan whereby the
residents will be informed of this process, perhaps in the form of a
questionnaire, where the Council would have feedback from the
residents supporting or not supporting inclusion in the assessment
district, which would then allow the Council to act accordingly.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor agreed that the residents need to be
notified and that Council needs a realistic response back before
taking any action.
Mr. Devin responded that they plan on holding public meetings.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated that he is not disputing the
district's intent and cost, but in prior years assessment districts
were imposed by the County whether the Council voted against them or
not, and this goes against the concept of what people understand
voting for an assessment is.
Mayor Bruesch stressed the importance of educating the people
first, not after the fact. Mr. Bruesch suggested that a
questionnaire listing options be inserted with the brochure.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor agreed that a questionnaire with a
description of the options and an explanation informing the public
that this project will be going through should be provided. Mr.,
Taylor asked what would happen if this item was deferred.
Mr. Devin responded that their Board has to take action in late
November, but, they will be happy to come back later.
Mayor Bruesch stated that the consensus of the Council is that
the public needs to be well informed of this project and to bring
this item back once information has been disseminated and feedback
has been received. Mayor Bruesch stated that this item will be
deferred until such time.
