PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ZONE CHANGE FROM R-2 TO R-3 GENERALLY LOCATED BETWEEN FERN AND GARVEY AVENUES Mayor Taylor opened the Public Hearing and inquired if there was anyone in the audience who would care to speak. No one came forward, and the Public Hearing was closed. The following Ordinance No. 572 was presented for introduction: Robert Kress, City Attorney, stated that there were several changes needed on this Ordinance and he recommended that the zone change item be approved by the City Council; however, he would bring a new Ordinance No. 572 to be introduced at the next Council Meeting on September 25, 1984. MOTION BY COUNCILMAN TURY, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL that the Zone Change from R-2 to R-3 for property located on Walnut Grove between Fern and Garvey be approved. Vote resulted: CM 9-11-84 Page H1 • 0 AYES: Councilmen Cleveland, Imperial, Tury and Mayor Taylor NAYES: Councilman Bruesch ABSTAIN: None ABSENT: None Whereupon the Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. Councilman Imperial inquired what is planned to be built in this area. Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager, stated that either condos or single family dwellings on flag lots, although he did not know specifically; however, this zone change is to bring the zoning into consistency with the General Plan which allows these specific lots to be developed to an R-3 level. Councilman Tury stated that in the past these lots have been rezoned one at a time and since they are in conformance with the General Plan, there is not a lot of discretion to it, and instead of doing it one at a time, it was decided to finish off the change of zoning to Fern Street. Councilman Bruesch was concerned about the fire flow deficiencies and what had the other apartments done to correct these fire flow de- ficiencies. John Carmona, Planning Director, stated that the Fire Department was satisfied that at two separate locations that adequate fire flow did exist showing that 2,000 gallons were in the streets for both of the projects, one 29 unit and one 16 unit. He stated that any pro- ject that is being built in the City has to satisfy the Fire Depart- ment. He added that the fire flow requirement is generally 2,000 gallons a minute and sometimes 2,500,for R-3. He stated that this is a question of Fire Protection and not domestic service. Councilman Tury agreed with Mr. Carmona's statement that if anyone wants to build anything, they would have to provide for that water service by bringing in a line from some other main or whatever. Mayor Taylor stated that has been done in the past by the devel- oper who brings in the line and this is a zone change for the block instead of spot zone changes, and any project that is brought in will be evaluated on an individual basis. Councilman Bruesch was also concerned with the immediate re- quest to replace three houses with eleven units and eventually to replace 22 households with 101 apartments or 75 condominiums. He stated that three of those houses were substandard; however, the rest were not substandard. He stated that there would be 450 trip ends a day, which does not seem like much; however, the qualitative- ness of that is that the trips take place during the rush hours, and could have a very definite impact. Councilman Tury stated that since it is in the General Plan there is not a lot of latitude in changing the zoning, and instead of doing one lot at a time, he felt that the Planning Commission did the proper thing in changing the zone to coincide with the General Plan. Councilman Bruesch stated that then his general philosophical difference is with the General Plan. III. LEGISLATIVE A. RESOLUTION NO. 84-50 - CLAIMS & DEMANDS RESOLUTION NO. 84-50 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD ALLOWING CERTAIN CLAIMS & DEMANDS IN THE SUM OF $365,541.37 NUMBERED 9082-9100/12183 THROUGH 12303 INCLUSIVELY MOTION BY COUNCILMAN BRUESCH, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN TURY that Resolution No. 84-50 be adopted. Vote resulted: UPON ROLL CALL ALL COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT VOTED AYE. CM 9-11-84 The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. Page #2 0 • Councilman Bruesch inquired about Warrant No. 12303 which was an overpayment refund, and inquired what it was for. Donald Wagner, Assistant City Manager, stated that this item was an overpayment of recreation service fees for the Olympic Bas- ketball program. Mayor Taylor requested a copy of the back-up of Warrant P9094. IV. CONSENT CALENDAR (CC-A, CC-E deferred) Councilman Tury stated that he did not want to pull CC-B; however, he wanted to comment that those people are still oper- ating illegally in the City. Mayor Taylor requested that this be sent to the District Attorney's office. Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager, stated that he had filed it with the Fraud Detail and 14 names have been collected and will be sent to the District Attorney's Office for prosecution. CC-B APPROVAL OF SPECIFICATIONS FOR CURB ADDRESSES AND AUTHORIZATION TO SEEK BIDS CC-C ACCEPTANCE OF EMERSON PLACE SEWER PROJECT CC-D APPROVAL OF H.E.S. AGREEMENT FOR TRAFFIC SIGNALS MOTION BY COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CLEVELAND that the foregoing items of the Consent Calendar be approved. Vote resulted: UPON ROLL CALL ALL COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT VOTED AYE. The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. CC-A APPROVAL OF PROJECT ARCHITECT FOR CDBG COMMERCIAL REVITALIZATION PROGRAM Mayor Taylor inquired if both companies had representatives in the audience. He stated that in the original proposal that was received at the last meeting from Neil Stanton Palmer, clari- fication was needed on description of specific services that would be provided in fullfilling the requirements of the program archi- tect and he also needed clarification on staffing plan and cost summary. John Manavian, Principal Architect and Chief Designer of Neil Stanton Palmer, and he stated that he would be the contact person and project manager with the City as well as the property owners. Mr. Manavian stated that the average cost for archi- tectural services would be approximately $1500 - $2500 if site improvements are also required,and this would cover items 1-4. Mayor Taylor stated that this would cover concept design and sketches through item #4, and questioned item #6 which is preparation of special construction documents, including work- ing drawings. Mr. Manavian stated that was put in to try to protect them- selves, such as in one of the communities they requested a Bell Tower which required quite a bit of structural detail that was beyond the typical facade improvement and a very special condi- tion because the City felt that it was necessary because it was a very important corner. Mr. Manavian stated that anything that would be put on the building would have to meet the building code requirements and handicapped requirements. Mayor Taylor inquired if the plans that they have received in the agenda package and a concept sketch would be included in the $1500. Mr. Manavian stated that was a typical approach that his company used on all their drawings. Councilman Bruesch inquired if there was a problem of "sameness" CM 9-11-84 Page #3 U 0 Mr. Manavian stated that they had done over 20 projects in the City of Norwalk and not any of them are alike, and everyone is handled as an individual project. Councilman Bruesch inquired if there was a lower price as the number of jobs go up. Mr. Manavian stated that in Buena Park the projects adjoined each other and there was a saving. If there are two or three pro- perty owners in a line, the cost could be reduced here also. Mayor Taylor stated that there was a discrepency between Part A and the Contract which states that there would be a meeting with the property owner, and Part A states two meetings. Mr. Manavian stated that there are usually two or three meetings with the property owner; however, there are some people who can't make up their minds and are using up both time and money, then staff would be requested to help. Mayor Taylor inquired about field inspections and if it were on the hourly basis as required. Mr. Manavian stated that it was on an hourly basis, and depend- ing on the City, in some cities staff handles that when required. If there is a question about the drawings or if someone calls the of- fice and someone.handles it on the phone no one is being charged for that. If there is no need to do a drawing or a working draw- ing because all that is needed is a painting,a concept sketch is all that is necessary. That would cost approximately $500. Mayor Taylor inquired where the extra fees come into being. Mr. Manavian stated that there are times that there are zoning violations and they would be requested to represent the owners on these violations, then there would be an hourly charge. Mayor Taylor stated that if it was necessary to attend Council Meetings or Planning Commission Meetings, there would then be an hourly charge if requested by the City. Mr. Manavian stated that was true. Robert Kress, City Attorney, commented that apparently Mr. Manavian thought it was a flat fee contract. Mr. Manavian stated no, although he did not know exactly how the contract itself works out, in. any case,, he was amenable to it being a time and material basis with a $1500 being a ball park estimate and it could range anywhere from $500 to $2500 depending on level of work needed. Mayor Taylor inquired if there was a built-in maximum cost as far as the architectural fees that are allowed. Mr. Manavian stated that there are times that the City will authorize more fees to be expended and other times they get in direct contact with the property owners. Mayor Taylor read the Compensation and Method of Payment portion of the contract which states that the City shall reim- burse consultant in an amount not to exceed $17,500. Virginia Tanzmann, 304 Broadway, Los Angeles, architect for Tanzmann Associates, stated that if there were any questions that the Council wanted to..-ask; she would be happy to answer them. Mayor Taylor stated that in the Tanzmann Proposal there was a.fee chart that.could be.used if there are multiple-locations available at'the 'same time, and he felt that could be beneficial. Ms. Tanzmann stated that they were looking for a way to take care of as large a number of stores as possible. CM 9-11-84 Page #4 • 0 Mayor Taylor commented that the Tanzmann Proposal had within it a Construction Phase, which would allow for inspection as it is being done before it is completed. Ms. Tanzmann stated that was in a consultantive kind of way, and they would like to come. out at least once during construction. Councilman Tury inquired what other Cities Ms. Tanzmann has done this type of commercial rehabilitation work for. Ms. Tanzmann stated that the strongest parallel of experience would be shopping centers of different sizes and types. Councilman Bruesch inquired of Ms. Tanzmann how she would propose to avoid "sameness". Ms. Tanzmann to that avoidance as a criteria for of all the stores character unless quire similarity. stated that first there has to be a committment and that should be identified by any architect success on a project like this. She stated that that she has designed none of them have similar it is for a chain of stores for one owner who re- Mayor Taylor stated that both firms are qualified and he felt that it was important that there should be an onsite visit by the architect to see the project at some stage prior to the completion. Councilman Bruesch stated that he. Liked the idea of having re- duced cost for multiple projects that way more projects could be done with the same amount of funds; however, with so few partici- pates in the project it may not be of benefit to the City. Mayor Taylor stated that there will probably be more interest in this program because there is more money involved. Al Warot stated that there is a rebate of maximum of $15,000 and for a loan there is a maximum of $75,000, and should there be more than one property owner pursuing at one location, the rebate would then increase from $15,000 to $25,000. MOTION BY COUNCILMAN TURY, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN BRUESCH that the agreement between the City of Rosemead and Neil,Stanton, and Palmer be approved. Vote resulted: AYES: Councilmen Bruesch, Cleveland, Imperial, and Tury NAYES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: Mayor Taylor Whereupon the Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. Mayor Taylor stated that the reason for his abstention vote was for or against either firm. His vote in the past has been against this particular project; however, he felt that the Council has tried to chose the best firm for the project. CC-E APPROVAL OF SIGNALIZED PEDESTRIAN CROSSING Councilman Bruesch inquired what the effect on traffic flows would be with Z stop light at the lot on Klingerman Avenue.and a stop light at Rush, and he wondered what effect another.light would have on the traffic flow as it,is-•a very high volume street. Tom Howard, Assistant Deputy Engineer, stated that they had the same concern so the signal itself will be intertied with those other two signals. Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager, stated that this is the reason that this modification is so expensive. This pedestrian signal will be no different than the vehicular actuated signals and it will be interconnected to those signals and it will be pedestrian actuated. MOTION BY COUNCILMAN BRUESCH, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL that the signalized pedestrian crossing on Walnut Grove be approved. Vote resulted: CM 9-11-84 Page N5 UPON ROLL CALL ALL COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT VOTED AYE. The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. V. MATTERS FOR DISCUSSION & ACTION A. SIGNS/ENGLISH LANGUAGE Councilman Imperial requested a revision of the Rosemead Sign Ordinance and since the English language is the language of this Country, he felt that there should be restrictions of foreign language signs within the City. Most people would not know what kind of business it is and what they have to offer, and if there were an emergency at one of these businesses, and the name were in a foreign language, the emergency vehicle would not know if they were at the right business. He requested that the City Attorney draw up an ordinance requiring only the English language on the business signs. Councilman Tury stated that he agreed with Councilman Imperial in most respects; however, he felt that the Gardena Ordinance which states that there had to be some English on these signs identifying the type of business would be more practical.. He felt that some- thing should be done about this problem; however, the City may be overstepping our bounds by stating that businesses cannot use their ethnic language on a sign at all. Councilman Imperial stated that he had just taken a trip to Italy and every sign was in Italian. He felt that since this is the U.S.A. and the language is English, this should be our prime consideration. He stated that he would have no problem if an Ordinance could be adopted with the main sign language being in English and then whatever other language they wanted would be in smaller letters. Councilman'Bruesch stated that there may be constitutional problems if it is demanded that signs have English only. He felt that the name should be in English somewhere and also the address should have the numerals in arabic to help pedestrians and drivers find addresses. Mayor Taylor felt that there should be additional guidance as far as the size of the lettering. Councilman Imperial requested the City Attorney to research the situation, draw up an ordinance and bring it before the Council for their consideration. Mayor Taylor stated that he agreed that the signs should be in English, although he could not deny that if someone wants the sign to have the name also in Spanish or Chinese or whatever it might be,is freedom of speech. Councilman Tury stated that generally the Council supports Councilman Imperial and he felt that the City Attorney knows basically what the feelings of the Council are, and requested that the City Attorney draft an ordinance to be considered so that signs could be made legible for the majority of the citizens. Councilman Imperial requested that the record show that as far as his background is concerned, he is a first generation American and his father and mother were both naturalized citizens and they came from Italy. Robert Kress, City Attorney, stated that he thinks he under- stands the direction of the Council. He felt.that the Council wants to see an ordinance that requires whatever is on the sign to be most prominently in the English Language with some lesser prominence to a foreign language. He stated that he would talk to the Planning Director to find out what kind of a permit process is necessary for on-permise signs on a case by case basis. Mayor Taylor stated that he felt more comfortable if rules are set so that one person does not have a different percentage on the size of the foreign language than another person. CM 9-11-84 Page N6 • 0 Councilman Tury stated that he would have no problem with having the size of the foreign lettering the same as the English lettering on the sign. Councilman Bruesch suggested that the City Attorney delve into question of the rights of the people on DBA's as he would not like to see La Cosina Restaurant have to put up The Kitchen Restaurant also. Councilman Imperial stated that when the City Attorney and the Planning Department do all their research on this subject and have contacted other cities that they know has an ordinance would give us some guidance. Mayor Taylor directed the City Attorney to come back with something that the Council could consider in reference to an English language requirement on signs. B. COUNTY TAX ASSESSORS POLICY REGARDING HOME IMPROVEMENTS Mayor Taylor stated that this is just an informational item and no action is necessary. C. ZAPOPAN PARK IMPROVEMENTS/NOISE ABATEMENT Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager, stated that the.Parks & Recrea- tion Department was asked to provide options to alleviate the dis- turbance to some of the residents living adjacent to the park. He stated that of these options #2 seems to be the best and it would be for.the Council to direct the shelter and play areas be moved. Councilman Bruesch stated that looking at the diagram that it would be moving the shelter from one residential area to another. Jack McCarty, Acting Director of the Parks and Recreation Department, stated that the picnic area, shelter and the play area are to be moved to a location that will be well removed from the residences. The current location which is being pro- posed is nothing but a large horseshoe pit which will be removed. Mayor Taylor stated that the intent was to move them away from the houses, but not to be moved down from where other houses are. Jack McCarty stated that the move would make it five times further from the houses than it is now. Councilman Bruesch stated that the diagram does not show the move accurately. Councilman Tury stated that the sandpit is located about in the center of the park. Councilman Bruesch inquired if there would be landscaping of trees for shade in this area of the park. Jack McCarty stated that there is nothing in this proposal for landscaping. It is merely for relocating of the play equip- ment and picnic tables and benches. Mayor Taylor stated that if the relocation is approximately in the center, he would then have no objections to it. MOTION BY COUNCILMAN BRUESCH, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN TURY that Option #2 which would relocate the shelter, picnic/play areas at a cost of approximately $4,100. Vote resulted: UPON ROLL CALL ALL COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT VOTED AYE. The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. D. INDEPENDENT OUTDOOR AGREEMENT Councilman Tury stated that he would have no objection to five new single faced signs with the understanding that they would be removed in five years. He felt that it was a good way to get rid of some of the eyesores in the City. CM 9-11-84 Page #7 • 0 Mayor Taylor inquired.what could be done about the precedent that is being set by approving this agreement. Councilman Tury stated that he felt that if anyone wanted to come in and remove eight or nine signs and replace them with five signs, he would have no objection as long as they fall within the ordinance. Councilman Bruesch inquired if this was actually replacing signs that are already in place. Mayor Taylor stated that was correct. It would replace exist- ing signs. John Carmona stated that nine signs are being taken out and replacing five signs. Mayor Taylor stated that there is comment in the agreement that states that all signs will be removed within five years from the date of the issuance of a sign permit. He inquired if that was the actual contract with Outdoor Advertising Co. Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager, stated that was with this company only and the signs would be removed under this permit process and this agreement. Mayor Taylor inquired about the other sign companies. Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager, stated that there was no provision in this agreement to ask for removal of any of the large billboards. Mayor Taylor inquired how it is that the City can discriminate against one company and treat other companies differently. Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager, stated that this case would have to stand by itself being the Independent Outdoor Sign Company; that being that they have signs that,in our opinion,do not comply with the sign ordinance. This is a compromise agreement that has been arrived at in order to take care of their signs. MOTION BY COUNCILMAN TURY, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL that the Mayor be authorized to sign the agreement with Independent Outdoor Sign Company and direct the Attorney to prepare necessary amendments to the existing sign ordinance to allow this agreement to be implemented. Vote resulted: AYES: Councilmen Bruesch, Imperial, Cleveland, and Tury NAYES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: Mayor Taylor Whereupon the Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. Councilman Imperial requested that the record show that the reason that he seconded the motion and voting yes on it was the earlier comments regarding the freedom of speach. VI. MATTERS FROM OFFICIALS A. Lewd Conduct (Verbatim) Bruesch: Mr. Mayor I would like to go back to the occurance of lewd conduct on the campus of Willard School. I have been at this for about a week. First of all I want to compliment our staff on tracking this down and it seems like everytime we get to an avenue that I think is going to lead us somewhere, we get to a dead end. Basically, what we are looking at is that the State Law prevents the Sheriff and the District Attorney from prosecuting people be- cause the State Law is specific and not general. Schools are not specifically stated in the State Law for this lewd conduct. What I would like to do is to direct our staff in finding out the ways of getting the law, the State Law, on matters as this to include or specifically state that Schools will be outside the realm of this type of activities. I am hoping that some...I have even con- tacted State politicians and they don't want to touch it. (over) CM 9-11-84 Page N8 Bruesch: (Continues) I am just hoping that somewhere along the line that we can find a vehicle for emphasizing the fact that school grounds should not be used for dumping grounds for any and all sorts of activities. Taylor: Is that in the recent mail that we received. In the mail that we receive, was that report in there. I haven't opened the mail. Bruesch: No, it wasn't yet. I even got the Penal Code. I got the Educational Code, I got the Penal Code and every where I look it says that this type of activity should not be done in public and yet it doesn't specifically say that school grounds are public grounds, and that is where the key is, and I think that maybe just a couple of words here and there in the Penal Code would be able to specifically say that school grounds should be considered, no matter what time of the year,as public areas and that this conduct is not acceptable. Taylor: Would you consider drinking beer on a public sidewalk a violation? Bruesch: It is. Taylor: Yes, we have ordinances that drinking in the parking lot and drinking on the sidewalks, but this sexual intercourse was going on in the school yard in the back of an open pick-up truck our tremendous laws are in effect again. It shows you the rationale of what it is thought about. We can call it anything we want, free- dom of speech or whatever. It shows you how rediculous things can be administered. Tury: What I think might be the best course of action, while we don't set those kind of things, possibly if you could get with Frank or Bob Kress and have a letter directed to Assemblywoman Tanner under the Mayors signature, that she looks into this and gives us a report on it. She seems to be pretty good about res- ponding and getting information and can be very, very effective in getting legislation passed when she wants to. Bruesch: 'I alluded this to her at the get together the other day and she said that they would be willing.... Tury: Well, those get togethers are not for that type of thing... Taylor: Put it on record Assemblywoman Tanner was notified... Imperial: We could ask Jerry Farwell for some guidance. B. Mayor Taylor stated that two weeks ago the Nomoura incident was talked about, and the City Attorney checked into it; however, the Investigating District Attorney was on vacation. He inquired if the City Attorney had a letter prepared so that when he gets there he will proceed with it. Robert Kress, City Attorney, stated that he was attempting to contact him to see if there was a problem and if there.was a pro- blem to address the problem in the letter. C. Councilman Tury inquired of the City Attorney regarding his liability.question.and hoped he would have an answer before too terribly long. D. Mayor Taylor inquired of Mr. Tripepi if he had received an up-date from the Sheriff's department regarding the Nomoura case and what is being done internally. Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager, stated that he has not received a written response from Commander Courtley and he would call him first thing in the morning and ask for a written response as to where the disposition of that investigation is. CM 9-11-84 Page #9 VII. STATUS REPORTS A. iAB 3899 (NAYLOR) Mayor Taylor stated that he had requested that this item be brought back for Council discussion because of Easter vaca- tion and Christmas vacation primarily. He stated that the memo doesn't deal with that specifically, it deals with vacation time in general. He questioned the equity of exempting crossing guards from unemployment insurance benefits during school vacations when teachers are eligible to receive pay during school vacations. In many districts, teachers have the option to receive their salary for either a calendar year or an academic year, and in either case, the teacher is ineligible for unemployment insurance benefits during school vacations. He did not feel right about the bill and he felt that there was an inequity in it. Councilman Bruesch stated as a teacher his warrants for salary are for either 10 months or 12 months, and he thought that crossing guards are paid that way too. Mayor Taylor stated that was not so, as the Crossing Guards are paid by the hour and the City pays their salary. He stated that the Council had taken action on it two weeks ago and if the Council wants to proceed with the endorsement... Councilman Tury stated that there is not a problem if there is a hesitation on the part of any Councilman, since the City employs 6 crossing guards, the Council does not have to take a stand on everything that comes up. He suggested that no action be taken on this item. Mayor Taylor stated that this letter be received and filed, and a motion be made to reconsider the action taken at the last meeting. MOTION BY COUNCILMAN TURY, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL that the action taken regarding AB3899 at the last meeting be reconsidered. Vote resulted: UPON ROLL CALL ALL COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT VOTED AYE. The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. MOTION BY COUNCILMAN TURY, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL that the previous action taken on AB3899 be rescinded and re- place that action with received and filed. Vote resulted: UPON ROLL CALL ALL COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT VOTED AYE. The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. There being no further business to handle, the Council Meeting was adjourned to September 25, 1984 at 8:00 p. m. Respectfully submitted: Ci y Clerk CM 9-11-84 Page #10
