5A. ZONE CHANGE CASE NO. 11
Public Hearing
8341 Rush Street
Secretary Wroe read a letter from Mr. Gus Nesseth,
California Property Brokers, dated January 14, 1965,
requesting action on their application for a zone change.
Chairman Kunz declared the public hearing open at 7:43
o'clock p.m.
Advisor Cushman administered the oath to those persons wishing
to testify at the public hearing.
Advisor Cushman reviewed the factual data regarding this
request for a zone change.
Mr. Genrge Wiegand 8656 E , Huntington Drive, San Gabriel,
stated he had a valid option on the property, that the delay
for a study would cause undue hardship on the owners and
developers, and he had a petition signed by 122 propert
owners requesting Planning Commission action on the
development at this time. Mr. Aiegand further stated he
would like to hear first what the school district had to
say about this matter.
Attorney Brown advised that the school district is a
peculiar entity, they are a creature of the State, and they
can if they so desire, exercise rights that are greater than
those of any particular City or County. He further stated
that it is a little difficult for this Commission to consider
independently this request for a zone change to R -4, and
that this Commission does not have the power to prohibit the
school district from exercising its rights of condemnation
or eminent doma.i.n. The Commission can simply make a report
with conditions that may or may not be acceptable to the
school board.
Mr. Gus Nesseth, 5355 Persimmon, Temple City, presented the
petitions to be placed on file. He stated that time is of
the essence, and that the developers felt that the 90 day
time limit set by the Commission at its meeting of December
15, 1964 was an injustice. He asked what had been done
about getting a planning consultant for the City of Rosemead.
Advisor Cushman said the City Administrator had gone through
a variety of proposals, and that at the City Council meeting
of January 12, 1965, the Council was advised to review the
proposals at their leisure.
Speaking against this request for a zone change were.
Raymond Rees, 8253 Kein
Dr. Norvell Dice, Superintendent, Garvey School District

assistance of every concerned agency, the State, County, and
City, the school district finds it necessary at this time to
acquire this property as of necessity.
