PLANNING COMMISSION: NONE 16. TRAFFIC COMMISSION: A. NEW AVENUE SOUTH OF GARVEY AVENUE - RESTRICTED PARKING. Mr. Envall, Traffic Engineer, made reference to Commission referral regarding the need for restricted parking on the east side of New Avenue southerly of Garvey Avenue. Mr, Envall stated that the Council recently approved the placing of a left turn pocket on New Avenue at its southerly approach to Garvey Avenue. This pocket has restricted northbound traffic to one lane without restricting the east side of New Avenue, and it is therefore recommended that red curb markings be placed on the east side of New Avenue from a point 37 feet south of the south curb line of Garvey Avenue to a point 126 feet south of said south curb line excluding the driveway. It was moved by Councilman Pike, second by Councilman Maude, and unanimously carried, that the foregoing recom- mendation be approved. B. SAN GABRIEL BLVD. & NEWMARK - RED CURB MARKINGS. Mr. Envall made reference to a request from Mr. E.B. Buck, 2622 Falling Leaf Avenue, requesting restricted parking on the west side of San Gabriel Boulevard, north of Fern Avenue, to eleviate a sight problem. Mr. Envall advised that following field investigation it is recommended that 30 feet of red curb be placed on the west side of San Gabriel Boulevard extending north of Newmark Avenue, as it is believed this will sufficiently open visibility at this corner. It was moved by Councilman Andersen, second by Councilman Hunter, and unanimously carried, that the foregoing recom- mendation be approved. C. BURTON AVENUE - RAMONA TO GARVEY - WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS. Mr. Envall made reference to a letter from the Southern California Automobile Club, requesting weight limit regula- tions at the above location for a Mr. Elmer Webb at 3160 Burton Avenue. Mr. Envall advised that field investigation disclosed that Burton Avenue has recently been improved between limits to 36 feet wide, 90% sidewalks with a pre-mix of 3-1/2 inches. Engineering analysis has indicated that this is not a sufficient thickness to carry heavy truck traffic, and it is therefore recommended that three-ton weight limit restric- tions be placed on Burton Avenue between limits, with the placement of a sign on the east side north of Garvey, and on the west side south of Ramona Boulevard. Mr. Envall further recommended that 30 feet of red curb be placed on the west side of Burton and 16 feet on the east side north of Garvey to eliminate congestion at the inter- section of Garvey Avenue. Page Seven C/C 12/22/70 During course of discussion the Council indicated they were opposed to placing weight limit regulations on just one particular street, but were in accord with the pro- posed red curb markings. It was moved by Councilman Hunter, second by Councilman Maude, and unanimously carried, that we approve the fore- going placement of red curb markings as recommended. It was moved by Councilman Maude, second by Councilman Hunter, and unanimously carried, that the recommendation with regard to weight limit regulations be referred back to the Traffic Commission for consideration of the quadrant north of Garvey Avenue and east of Walnut Grove Avenue, COMMUNICATIONS 17, A. CALIFORNIA REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD, 18, Mr. Gunn presented this communication along with a copy of a resolution requiring cities and counties to notify the Regional Board of the filing of development proposals which involve a major waste discharge.

It was moved Councilman Andersen, second by Councilman Maude, and unanimously carried, that the foregoing recom- mendation be approved, ORAL COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE. A. Mr.' Doug Stone, Rosemead Chamber of Commerce Manager, addressed the Council reviewing Chamber activities and accomplishments of the past year, B. Mr, Gilbert Barron, 7464 Melrose Avenue, addressed the Council requesting investigation be made of the traffic problem on Garvey Avenue between New and Del Mar Avenues, due to street construction, Mr. Gunn replied that the total traffic plan with regard to detours, etc., had been reviewed by the Engineer, and since this is a County Flood Control District project there isn't much more that can be done to improve the situation, 19, MATTERS FROM CITY OFFICIALS A.
