II. PUBLIC HEARING
A. DEFERRED HEARING TO CONSIDER AN APPEAL BY ELIAS
AND AUGELITA RODRIGUEZ FOR A ZONE CHANGE FROM R-1
& R-3 TO R-3 AT PROPERTY LOCATED AT 8451 MISSION
DRIVE
Elias Rodriguez, 5608 N. Willard, San Gabriel,-§poke in
favor of the requested Zone Change and requested that the Council
reconsider the Planning Commissions recommendation.
Lewis Sullivan, Planning Director, stated that the reason.
for the denial of the request by the Planning Commission was that
the majority of the area is developed with single family dwellings
and since the General Plan calls for all this area to be R-1,
it would be to the best interests of the City not to up zone
this parcel.
Councilman Hunter stated that although there should be a
study done and the General Plan should possibly be up-dated, in
light of the law there is no choice but to up-hold the Planning
Commissions recommendation.

MOTION BY COUNCILMAN HUNTER, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL
that the Planning Commissions recommendation to deny the 'Zone
Change on property located at 8451 E. Mission Drive be approved.
Vote resulted:
AYES: Councilmen Hunter, Imperial and Taylor
NAYES: None
ABSTAIN: Councilman Tury
Whereupon the Mayor declared said motion duly carried and
so ordered.
Councilman Tury wanted the record to show the reason for
his "abstain" vote was because he had voted on the same item on
the Planning Commission.
Councilman Imperial1-requested that notices be sent to the
residents in that area that although they are presently zoned
either R-1 or R-3 the General Plan does call for a different
zone and they should be made aware of the difference.
Councilman Tury stated that since the General Plan is going
to be totally redone it would be better to wait until it has been
completed and then all corrections would be made.
Councilman Imperial agreed with his suggestion as long as
there would not be a considerable time element involved in the
up dating of the General Plan.

V. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION & ACTION
A. ENGINEERING PROPOSAL FOR STREET IMPROVEMENT FOR
WALNUT GROVE BETWEEN FERN & KLINGERMAN STREETS,
& TRAFFIC ENGINEERS REPORT ON TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
ON WALNUT GROVE.
Mayor Taylor inquired as to the status of some of the peti-
tions that were taken out by residents requesting curbs,,.gutters
sidewalks or other street improvements.
Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager, stated that he had not re-
ceived any petitions from home owners at this time, and had not
received any written response from home owners, but had received
four letters returned un-opened, and it seems that some of the
people who have taken out petitions to circulate no longer live
in this area.
Councilman Hunter stated that there should be a study ses-
sion to decide how to act on a petition or to act on need, but
the item to be acted upon at this time is the proposal for street
improvements on Walnut Grove and this was an approved budgeted
item.
Mayor Taylor stated that although this was a budgeted item,
there are many streets that have never been improved and need it
more than Walnut Grove and it should be done according to priori:
ties. The money to be expended should be used for curbs and gutters
for streets that don't have them, and not for replacing them on
Walnut Grove, these improvements are only eight years old.
Councilman Tury st ated that he felt that Walnut Grove has
hazardous conditions at the peak hours and will be worse when
Title Insurance has been completed, and although the street:;does
have curbs and gutters, it does need widening and then the City
can go on to the other streets.that need improvement also.
MOTION BY COUNCILMAN HUNTER, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN TURY
that Mike Scott & Associates proceed with the street improvement
project on Walnut Grove between Fern & Klingerman Streets. Vote
resulted:
AYES: Councilmen Hunter & Tury
NAYES: Councilman Imperial & Mayor Taylor
Whereupon the Mayor declared that the motion be deferred
because of tie vote.
