Consideration of a request,by Mr. Wayne W. Nicholson to relocate a single family residence and to operate a used and new plumbing equipment business at 3035 San Gabriel Boulevard. City Attorney Dilkes presented the rules of conduct at.public hearings. Mr. Sullivan presented the staff report. Public hearing opened at 7:40 p.m. (It was requested of the Secretary subsequent to the Commission meeting that the statements of the public hearing be quoted verbatim) PC Minutes • • Page 2 9.7.76 DeTora: "Is there anyone in the audience that would like to address the Commission, please stand and be sworn in." .(The Oath was administered by the Secretary) DeTora: "The public hearing is open and we will now hear from the proponents." PROPONENTS: Mr. James Ball, 350S Figuroa Street, Los Angeles, Attny. "I am an Attorney and I represent Mr. Nicholson on a number of items, one of which has been the litigation and negotiation between Mr. Nicholson and the Redevelopment Agency pertaining to the premises that he now occupies at 2737 San Gabriel Boulevard. I want to call or emphasize at least to the Board, or Commission that the acquisition of the premises in question was pursuant to the plan where he would relocate his business, because its present location was taken by the Agency. The plan where under he was to relocate was one where he was to be benefited by the Agency according to law, Section 7261 and the following sections of the Government Code, when an agency takes a business such as it has 'taken here, it has certain duties to relocate the business. It appears to Pair. Nicholson that he has been afforded no benefits whatsoever in connection with relocating,'and if the recommendations of this Commission are followed, his efforts to relocate at the subject property will not be successful and he will be sitting on the land acquired by the Agency with a state of mind, and I feel a legal position, that it is up to the Agency to find him a place to move since he has exhausted all possibilities and found this one spot and even acquired it in the belief that the Agency itself would be of some assistance to him in a number of ways, possibly before this Commission. One particular condition that is to.be imposed is-to remove all of the mobile homes at this time, that is not acceptable to Mr. Nicholson, and would require alot more cash monies to accomplish the move that he was willing to or able to expend at this time. The other thing is that he is entitled to move his license to another spot in the City of Rosemead. The Commission has proposed that even if the use is permitted it is subject to review in two years, at which time, if I understand, this license will be taken away from him. . . . that we will not agree to. . . and frankly I think that if we wereeven:? to accept the Conditional Use, that is propose here, and that condition imposed upon it he would be making a mistake, and I don't think that in any case that he can move his business to this location if the City wants to retain the right to review the whole matter and possibly lift his license altogether in two years. So to sum our position up is we simply seek the aide of this Commission in relocating. . . In conclusion I might say though that Mr. Nicholson's business is new and used plumbing and equipment, and to characterise it solely as used equipment demeans somewhat the nature of his business and puts it into a purely second hand business and I temp to somewhat characterize it as - - (not audible on tape) - - in any case it is new and used and possibly at sometime will be all new." DeTora: "Mr. Ball, Just to throw a couple of questions in so the Commissioners can think about it. . . .When did Mr. Nicholson purchase this piece of property?" Ball: "Within the last six weeks." DeTora: "Now you made a remark that he can move his license anywhere in Rosemead." Ball: "Yes. May I modify that . . . his license is.transferable surely subject to the proper zoning." PC Minutes • • Page 3 9.7.76 DeTora: "Where he can get a conditional use." Ball: "Yes, Yes, subject to the proper zoning." DeTora: "And number three. . . you don't think he should be reviewed by these Commissioners?" Ball: "Well the proposed review would be one where he would have no rights, the Commission would review it and as conditions of his being given the right to go in there initially he would have to agree that in two years they could review it and if they elected to they could suspend or revoke his position to do business there. At this time he has this license which is a valuable thing and which continues and I see.no way of taking it from him without some compensation. And it appears to me that that would be taking it from him without due compensation." DeTora: "Does any Commissioner have any remark to say now before you forget about it?" Revelles: "A question to the City Attorney. . . Is there some agreement signed by the Redevelopment Agency and the applicant, that's the first question. . second question ; . . I would assume there would be some kind of Relocation Plan for the entire area as well as a specific plan to relocate each individual business by the Redevelopment Area - - (not audible on tape) - - - - - - - - - the next question, and my final question, is, is before we consider this plan, should we have the plan and negotiations and agreements between the City of Rosemead, in this case the Redevelopment Agency and the applicant which would have some bearing - (not audible on tape) - - Dilkes: "Let me see if I can allay some fears. . .There is a written stipulation between Wayne Nicholson and the Rosemead Redevelopment Agency terminating the litigation that Mr. Nicholson commenced a year and a half ago or two years ago. . . I'm sorry, the litigation the Agency commenced. Mr.* Nicholson in, as the Agency's responsibility is obligated by the terms of that stipulation to receive relocation assistance in accordance with the provisions of the relocation statutes of the State of California. Now Mr. Nicholson should have been entitled to that initially, there's no question about that but because the property was acquired in a manner somewhat unusual in a redevelopment project, no relocation offers have been made to Mr. Nicholson, he was clearly entitled to receive that relocation assistance and that was made a condition of the stipulation. So pursuant to that, Urban Projects, and more specifically, a woman named Maxine Chavez was hired to assist Mr. Nicholson in the quest for his relocation. There was also an industrial broker by the name of Lam brought in and lie was request to get listed properties acceptable to Mr. Nicholsons use, and in fact located quite a few. Mr. Nicholson had been negotiating for a parcel on San Gabriel and Earle. . . Newmark, O.K. and that negotiation fell through and Mr. Nicholson was informed that the Agency would assist him in locating parcels and contacting an industrial broker. . . precisely what happened during that period is not altogether clear, except that Mr. Nicholson accordinding to the brokers statement asked for a series of forms and deposit receipts and things like that and then apparently entered into an escrow for the purchase of the property that he is acquiring now. In any event, the Agency provided him with assistance in the form of a list of properties available and that sort of thing, and Mr. Nicholson found this particular parcel on his own and decided to acquire it. One other thing I might add is, an exceptionally short escrow close, about two weeks, somewhat shorter a time than the traditional escrow for a piece of commercial property." Revelles: "In way of assistance, when they identified the available.sites was the site of San Gabriel Boulevard now being proposed by the applicant one of the sites?" PC•1inutes • • Page 4 9.7.76 Dilkes: "No. Mr. Wallin, who is the Agency attorney said it was not. I do know that the broker had located another parcel, I'm not sure of the location,'it was, he had suggested that parcel to Mr. Nicholson perhaps the parcel Mr. Nicholson selected was less expensive or in his mind more suited to his needs." Revelles: "The next question would be, does the Redevelopment Agency still provide assistance to the applicant, in other words will they still act in good faith." Dilkes: "Oh, there is no question in my mind that the agency is acting in good faith since April or March, or whenever the real negotiations at the time of the stipulation, when that was prepared." Revelles: "Was there anything in writing given to the applicant as far as the property is concerned involved in this application." Dilkes: "Well the Agency has made no , , , I'm not sure I understand the 'question. . . but the Agency is not a part of the escrow in any form." Revelles: "I just want to make sure that the applicant has not been misled in any way. In other words he in good faith will get his property because something (not audible on tape). . Dilkes: The applicant was informed that the agency would provide him with assistance in finding a relocation site, and I know that Mr. Lam had located a series of cities where Mr. Nicholson could legally relocate his business and was in the process of relocating parcels that would specifically suite his need, and had located some parcels including some in Rosemead. And for some reason, Mr. Nicholson shows not to avail himself to that particular service, for reasons that I don't know, but probably good ones but he didn't." DeTora: "Does that answer your questions Mr. Revelles?" Revelles: "For now." Cianciola: "Fr. Chairman may I ask the gentleman a question?" DeTora: "Sure thing." Cianciola: "Was his property bought on a contingency basis?" Ball: "No, as I understand it, after it closed title it's Mr. Nicholsons and I don't believe its the desired position that we were misled by the City or the Agency in acquiring this property." Cianciola: "Thank you, Mr. Ball." Dilkes: (To Cianciola) "I spoke very briefly to Mr. Nicholson today, just shortly before this hearing. . . this escrow closed so fast he did not even receive a title report prior to closing apparently he has not yet received it and escrow is closed." Cianciola: "O.K., that's all I wanted to know." DeTora: " Mr. Ritchie. . Ritchie: ".-My question Mr. Chairman, was this parcel suggested by the Relocation assistance. . . of the Redevelopment Agency was this parcel on the list of parcels suggested by redevelopment. . DeTora: "The way I understand, no." Dilkes: " To my understand Mr. Ritchie, it was not on the list." DeTora: "Does that answer your question Mr. Ritchie?" PC Minutes • • Page 5 9.7.76 Ritchie: "Yes sir." DeTora: "Do you have a question Mr. Lowrey." Lowrey: "Not at this time." Ball:, "May I have the......." DeTora: "You sure may." Ball: "If this parcel were not on the list it - -(Not audible)- - up and down San Gabriel Boulevard and it is as simply the same as the other parcels that may have been recommended to Mr.. Nicholson. There is one further part of the settlement with the Agency and that is that Mr. Nicholson was to be entitled to move his license according to the City licensing authority particularly the department of the City that issues the license to businesses such as this, but he was to have the right to move his license to another spot in the City providing that the zoning was proper. I must say that we get the.feeling that the City is not at all interested in having a business like Mr. Nicholson's in the City . the City attempts to regulate the people here attempt to obtain a new location are recommending a new location in some other City and Mr. Nicholson of course is not interested in being pushed into some other City or out in the county . he feels that he is entitled to have a location in the City itself." DeTora: "Just a moment.please . . . Mr. Dilkes. Dilkes: " Yes, Mr. Chairman if I can clarify that, Mr. Lam was in the process of locating parcels in a variety of different jurisdictions and that included Rosemead, there was a parcel - Mr. Wallin what was the location. . . Yes there was a parcel at 8450 Garvey that was recommended to Mr. Nicholson that is in the City of Rosemead. There was no effort to relocate Mr. Nicholson in or out of the C ity but only to relocate him to some location satisfactory to his need... . and that parcel was specifically recommended to him, it did not have the surrounding residential uses so that his proposed use would have been somewhat more compatible. . . for reasons his own, and I'm sure perfectly accurate ones he.chose not to look at that parcel." DeTora: "Does that answer your question Mr. Ball?" Ball: "I think so." DeTora: "Is there anyone else inthe audience that would like to speak on this subject . . . in favor. . . Have you been sworn in sir?" O.H. Wetherby, 815 Valley Boulevard, San Gabriel: " My sister and myself own ots 23 and 29 Inclusive of Tract 6677 and we have owned these lots for fifty years, of course I thought this entire redevelopment plan was to upgrade the entire area down there. . DeTora: "Sir, I have to stop you right there, are you for or against it. Do you want to speak against it?" Glethcrby: "Yes" DeTora': "Well I like to hear the people that are for it first. Will you please sit down and we'll call on you a little later. Is there anyone else in the audience that is for it?. . . I guess not. . . Mr. Wetherby you can come right down again." Discussion between the Commissioners Mr. Ritchie: "May we call on Mir..-Wallin." Peter Wallin, 11340 Olympic Boulevard, L.A., Attny for the Redevelopment Agency: 'Urban Projects Inc. handled the relocation and they have prepared a memorandum for the Redevelopment Agency. . . On July 13, we were advised by Mr. Nicholson the termination of negotiations to purchase the property on.San Gabriel and Newmark PC Minutes • • Page 6 9.7.76 that was property located by Ace Fence Company and at that time Maxine Chavez asked Mr. Nicholson if he had another site he wanted to purchase and he responded -no-. She did however advise him.of two alternative sites which he might be interested in purchasing, the first site was located at 8450 Garvey Boulevard the second lot located on the corner of Garvey and San Gabriel Boulevard. She contacted the sellers and made the necessary inquiries concerning the'essential elements, physical character- istics, zoning, square footage and sales cost. Of the two sites the latter lot was disregarded since the sellers were asking a price of $200,000 which was above and beyond Mr. Nicholson's income capability. The first site had a sales cost of $73,500, with sufficient amount of square footage and proper zoning and seem appropriate for Mr.Nicholson's needs. Therefore she contacted Mr. Lam of Anthony Venti Realty for his assistance. Mr. Lam, Maxine Chavez and myself met on July 16, to discuss the subject business and request his assistance in obtaining industrial sites for the business. . . various alternatives were discussed such as area preference, zoning requirement and square footage and price. Per Mr. Lam, due to the nature of Mr. Nicholson's business, the only feasible site would be in Rosemead and the unincorporated parts of the County and Irwindale where it might be possible to attain a permit for a second hand business. Mr. Lam agreed to search or obtain properties in the above and then contact Mr. Nicholson." "July 19, 1976 we received a call from Mr. Lam advising of Mr. Nicholson's interest in purchasing the property at 8450 Garvey, the corner of Garvey and Earle -(not audible on tape)- the contract was ready for submission however based upon obtaining the necessary licenses and permits to relocate Nicholson to the proposed site. Mr. Lam stated that he did not want to present the offer to the seller unless the agency could.advance relocation payments,in order to meet the necessary down payment. We advised him that we could not advance relocation --(not audible on..tape) --at this time --(not audible)-- . and shortly thereafter Mr. Lain advised us that Mr. Nicholson was negotiating his own piece of property and that property was not listed for sale with a broker and Mr. Nicholson then went ahead and made that sale without providing us with the broker for that sale." Revelles: "So there is no way that the relocation firm could have known that that property was available. It wasn't listed." Wallin:, "That is correct. Except my asking Mr. Nicholson -(not audible). Revelles:" At that point did the consultant firm. . Wallin: "Urban Projects Inc.. Revelles: " At that point did they investigate the site to see.if it was appropriate and did they advise the applicant to the --(not audible on tape) Wallin:, " At that time he was already in escrow." Revelles: " He was already in escrow. Wallin: " Yes, he was in escrow by the time, at the'time we found out that he was in the process of buying the property. I went over the property with Maxine Chavez. . . . We immediately told him to apply for the Conditional Use Permit from Rosemead." DeTora: "Does that answer your question Mr. Revelles?" O.H.Wetherby:"We are the owners of lots 23-29 of Tract 6677 for quite a few years. . . our understand of the Redevelopment Act was to upgrade the entire area down there, so when Mr. Beach put that --(not audible on tape) will defeat the purpose of redevelopment and I was shocked when PC Minutes • • Page 7 9.7.76 I went by the Nicholson yard and saw bathtubs piled probably fifteen feet high that you could see from the boulevard as you went by, and is really a very degrading site as far as anybody wanting to put a business venture in there at the corner let along other places along the boulevard. So all you can do is judge by what you see and if anybody goes down there and takes a look, it certainly will be very detrimental to permit a thing like that be established across the property from outselves. . . Of course I can't talk for Mr. Beach, he can talk for himself. . That's about all I have to'say. . Ritchie: "Mr'. Chairman, Mr: Wetherby. . . I would like to ask a question, I am not sure what lots Mr. Wetherby owns. . Wetherby: "Well we own the northeast corner of Garvey and San Gabriel." Ritchie; "That would be next to Beach's and the drug store there?" Wetherby: "Yes" Ritchie: "What gas station is in that corner?" Wetherby: "There was a about --(not audible on tape)- years a Standard Station on that corner --(not audible on tape) Ritchie: "Thank you Mr. Chairman." DeTora: " Is there anyone else that would like to address the Commission against. . . Were you sworn in Sir?. . .May we have your name and address for the record?" Arthur Max Beach , 20940 Lassen Street, Chatsworth: "We own property on the west side of Gladys, north side of Park, we do not own Mr., Wetherby's property, facing San Gabriel. We own everything except Mrs. Ramos' 2400 square feet. November 6th, I will be 30 years in this area. When I saw an opportunity to pickup the --(not audible on the tape)-- and build a beautiful market, I did it for the benefit of Rosemead. I feel that everybody wants a better place to shop and a better place to live. . . that's the attitude I took against people who would put a cheap market --(not audible on tape)---------. We have an investment and all the properties including the Save On of approximately $2.5 million dollars on the price eight years ago and you know what that would cost today. I believe like Mr. Wetherby that a redevelop- agency was put here to improve this property and upgrade the area and I think I believe after seeing it today, Mr. Nicholson's place down there is not upgrading the land, and I don't want to hurt Mr. Nicholson but I don't want to get hurt either. I would not be in favor of this." DeTora: "Any of the Commissioners like to ask any questions?" "Thank you Mr. Beach, any of the Commissioners like to ask Mr. Beach any questions?" Ritchie: " How do you spell your last name sir?" Beach: "B-e-a-c-h" Ritchie: "Oh, I'm sorry." DeTora: "Is there anyone else in the audience? Come right down sir. . You were sworn in sir? May we have your name and address for the record. . Leonard Lebetkin " I live at 209 N. Inez Avenue, Monterey Park, I own Park San Gabriel at 3053 N. San Gabriel Boulevard which is just north of the property that Mr. Nicholson purchased. I want to speak to the Plannnng Commission about the Nicholson Pipe yard which is proposed to be next to my property. Why rob Peter to pay Paul. Blight from Project I brought into Project Area which I am in is a degrading thing, not an upgrading thing for Redevelopment.' I am sure many of us have observed the condition PC Minutes • • Page 8 9/7/76 of his pipe yard I have owned this property for over twelve years and worked hard to upgrade the property and now have a decent class of tenants, most of them are senior citizens and are limited income, and are good citizens of Rosemead. I am proud to be in Rosemead, and I feel Rosemead has a good future in this area. If the Planning Commission disallows this type of business in this area, the area will upgrade itself when the project Area I, south of Garvey is developed. I am against allowing this type of business in the C-3 Zone the area north of Garvey Boulevard cannot be considered a blight area, why spoil it now. Our neighbors to the north who own the Tradewinds Mobile Home Park, neighbors to the south which is the Gale Motel and Apartments are opposed to the pipe yard, also Mike's Barber Shop, and Ramos Realty are also opposed. We have gotten together a petition which we presented here to the Planning Commission, that is signed by over 60 residents very close by in the area. We hope the Planning Commission can see our point of view and help us in this situation." DeTora: " Do you have that petition?" Lebetkin: (Presented petition to the Secretary) Detora: " Ms. Christianson, will you file that, receive and file that petition, so that it will be on record pleaee?" "Thank you sir, does any Commissioner have anything they would like to ask the gentleman?" Ritchie: "Nearby businesses. You mentioned the barber shop and real estate office there, are they signees of this?" Lebetkin: "Yes" Ritchie: "How many names are on this?" Lebetkin: "Approximately 68 names." DeTora: "Any other questions by the Commissioners at this time? If not thank you sir,. Is there anyone else in the audience? Come right down Maam---------- Were you sworn in? Now may we have your name and address for the record." Alrae Tingley, 3053 San Gabriel Blvd, Mgr. Park San Gabriel: "We urge the Planning Commission to disallow this man to move his used pipe shop next door to us.' I understand that there are several pieces of property for sale on Garvey Avenue which are zoned M-1 and he could move into any of those pieces, of property without a Conditional Use Permit which he chose not to do. He also chose to close his escrow in a very short time without getting a Conditional Use Permit first, so I don't think that his purchasing of the property should give him the right to get 'a Conditional Use Permit. Also he is not living up to quite a few of the rules he is already on to the property, he has put up a chain link fence in the front of the property. He has moved a large trailer on to the property with his name and it's right next to the sidewalk and I understand that it is much larger than any sign should be or shouldn't be allowed in Rosemead. " "I have pictures here of the fence and the trailer which I would like to give -------(presented to secretary) everyone in the park, we have eleven trailers next to where Mr. Nicholson will have his pipe located which will be very disturbing to'all of those people because cutting pipe and threading pipe is noisy even with a block wall. It's not going to.stop the noise. He's also enclosed an area in the front ofhis property with this 8 foot fence, chain link fence and it says for storage, well let's hope it isn't for used plumbing. And we do think that this is going to make all the property in the area much less valuable than it is now by allowing him to move there." PC Minutes • • Page 9 9.7.76 DeTora: "One question Maam, you said he installed a chain link fence. When?" Tingley: "lifter his escrow closed, about two weeks ago." DeTora: "And he also has a trailer." Tingley: "He put a large trailer next to Gale's Motel with his name and I understand that it is larger than the City allows for advertising." . DeTora: "Thank you. Any questions by the Commission?" Tingley: "One other thing too, his trailer has a 75 license, it doesn't .even have a 76 license." Lowrey: "I would like to ask the Planning Director, was there a permit taken out for this fence to be put up?" Sullivan: "No, but it's not required, it's in this area right here (indicated area on transparency screen) DeTora: "Thats right in front of his building" Sullivan:"I know but that wouldn't be required." Lowrey: "Wouldn't it be required on the front there?" Sullivan: "No." Lowrey: "Eight foot high?" Sullivan: "No" "No" Tingley: "But it does say for storage area. Which could be used plumbing." Sullivan: "Yes, that's what this is a . . . which are you talking about this area here this is a storage building. . Tingley: "No, the front says storage-area, so it could be storage of used plumbing which is not very nice to look at. No he has a building right down in the corner there." Sullivan: "Yes, Yes." DeTora: "And right in front of the building he has his fence . right down in there." Sullivan: "Yes, that is right on the street . . . No, No" DeTora: "Does that answer your question. Thank you Maam, Is there anyone else in the audience that is opposed to it? Now we have a little rebuttal. Mr. Ball will you want to start the rebuttal and come right down to the mike please, we don't wany any questions." Ball: "About the only thing that I would say is surely it is not the best use of this prime property up and down San Gabriel Boulevard --(not audible on tape)-----------------------------------;-- that it be used for trailer parks, understandably these people are happily placed there and do not want that surrounding area to be changed or their own particular place to be changed but I am sure the City does not look forward to having trailer parks there for much longer. Mr. Nicholson's activity would be a ligitimate business and commercial enterprise that we admit could be made acceptable in appearance." DeTora: "Thank you sir; Is there anyone else in the audience who would like to rebuttal?" PC Mintues • Page .10 9.7.76 • Lebetkin: "Should the conditions ever arise where a business or some nice redevelopment would want.to take my mobile home park, I would be a willing participant. I feel good about this because understanding the laws of redevelopment the people that now live in the. mobile home park would be relocated, so this does not bother me if something were to be redeveloped on my property. I would participate." DeTora: "Thank you, Is there anyone else? If not, come right down Maam, I'm giving everybody a chance to speak." Alrae Tingley: "I did forget one very important thing, Mr. Nicholson has only one parking space in front of his property, which certainly would not be adequate for his business, if he has a business, so that should be taken into consideration." DeTora: "That's on the curb?" Tingley: "Yes, one parking space in front of his property, on the street." DeTora: "Thank you. . . No one else would like to rebuttal, if not I will close the public hearing, the public hearing is now closed, discussion by the Commission." (end of verbatim minutes) Discussion by the Commission.
