PLOT. PLAN NO. 103 (Revised - 8837 EAST GLENDON WAY - HAZEL AND
JOE MORRIS 8:45
Advisor Flanery presented the factual data regarding this plot
plan which has been revised to provide for the possibility of a
future street at the rear of the property. The plan allows for
25 feet to be dedicated to the City for the proposed street and
20 feet which would be the required setback.
Commissioner Casares questioned if this type of dedication could
be done legally.
Attorney Boyko explained that this could be a dedication to the
City.and the.Ci.ty would have to pay for the improvements. There
8- 6 -62..
would be no other way to handle the improvements legally. If
such a dedication was recorded it would be a standing offer to
run with the land.
Secretary Farrell stated that this area should be developed as
a whole, not one parcel at a time, as many problems would arise
regarding survey, street grades, drainage, etc.
(MO) After further discussion it was moved by Casares, second by Taylor,
that Plot Plan No. 103, (Revised) be denied according to Section
729A of the Rosemead Municipal Code, as this plan is in conflict
with the proposed Master Plan.
Al Messinger, Sherwood Builders, developer for the property owner,
spoke for the applicant in regard to this plot plan.
Chairman Wilt asked the owners if they would like to withdraw
their application at this time and resubmit their plan at a
future date.
(RC) Roll call vote was as follows: Ayes: Casares, Taylor, Kunz,
Buchanan, Crabtree, Wilt. Noes: None. Absent: None. McCaffree
abstained from voting.
Attorney Boyko explained that Plot Plan No. 103 had been denied
and that the applicant had 15 days after written notice of this
denial to appeal the decision to the City Council.
Chairman Wilt stated if there were no objections Agenda Item 7
would be heard before Item No. 6. There were no objections and
it was so ordered.
6. TR 26231 - COMMUNICATION FROM ATTORNEY re: TIME EXTENSION
(RESUBMISSION) 9:30
Secretary Farrell stated that TR 26231 was before the Commission
as a resubmission of this subdivision.
Mr. Potter, 242 Broadoaks, Monrovia, addressed the Commission in
regard to this subdivision.
Attorney Boyko reviewed a letter from the attorney representing
Hillcrest Engineering Corporation and stated that it would meet
the request of the Planning Commission's action on July 16, 1962.

for resubmission of TR 26231 be recommended to the City Council

B-6-62 9 •
Mrs. Maloof, 2640 North Walnut Grove Avenue, South San Gabriel,
owner, stated that this property had been sold and divided into
3 parcels at the time Plot Plan No. 78 was originally presented
to the Commission. She further stated that this was not on the
plot plan but assumed the Commission knew this, furthermore, the
agreement prepared by the Attorney was not what she had been
prepared to enter into, therefore, it was never executed.
Attorney Boyko stated that an investigation as to name of purchasers,
descriptions of property, escrow closing dates, etc. should be made
and checked against the Planning Commission's approval dates. This
appears to be a good case of misrepresentation.
(MO) It was moved by Casares, second by Wilt, that Plot Plan No. 78
be investigated by the City Administrator and staff in regard to
the unexecuted agreement and all other implications and report
back at the next meeting.
(RC) Roll call vote was as follows: Ayes: Casares, Taylor, Kunz,

8. PLOT PLAN NO. 106 - MARION AND HENRY CARLON, SR. - 4336 NORTH
ARICA AVENUE
Advisor Flanery presented the factual data regarding this plot
plan. The garage on Parcel A should be brought up to code standards.
Discussion was held in regard to the driveway being divided into
two 10 foot drives, some felt it would be better to have one 16 foot
drive serving three homes.
Mr. E. W. Lynn, Wonder Homes, Inc., developer, stated that the
drive was planned this way to provide for nicer rear yard arrange-
ment. If it was only one 16 foot drive there would be very little
rear yard on Parcel "B".
(MO) It was moved by Casares, second by Taylor, that Plot Plan No. 106,
be approved subject to the Planning Commission's Standard Require-
ments and the following conditions:
1. That the final maps show adequate turn around area on
Parcel "B ".
2. That the garage on Parcel '!A" be brought up to building
code standards.
3. That a suitable easement be made for the sewer line
serving Parcel "C ".
(RC) Roll call vote was as follows: Ayes: Casares, Taylor, Kunz,
Buchanan, McCaffree, Crabtree, Wilt. Noes: None. Absent: None.
Chairman Wilt stated that the Planning Commission's Standard
Requirements should have an additional Item No. 13 as follows:
(MO) it was moved by Wilt, second by Casares and unanimously carried,
that compliance with all standard conditions and special provisions
on plot plans approved by the Planning Commission be met before
final Notice of Completion is given by the Division of Building
and Safety.

is located easterly of Sullivan Avenue and northerly of Whitmore
Street with entrance to subdivision on Whitmore.
Secretary Farrell stated that this appeared to be a very good
plan, however, the street width is not the best, as it will provide
for a 30 foot pavement width and 5 foot parkways.
Attorney 6oyko was excused at 11:30 p.m.
