Re: Request for Parking Restriction Adjacent to a Fire Hydrant Be Reduced at 7655
Graves Avenue
Dear Ms. Leong:
At the September 2005 Traffic Commission Meeting, the Traffic Commission denied your
request to reduce the parking restriction adjacent to the fire hydrant in front of 7655 Graves
Avenue. The Traffic Commission also referred this matter to the City Council for
consideration.
This matter will be considered by the City Council at the next regularly scheduled meeting
to be held on Tuesday, February 14, 2006, at 8:00 p.m.
•
Enclosed is a copy of the City Council Staff Report, which includes the Traffic Commission
staff reports from July 2005 and September 2005.
Very truly yours,
CITY OF ROSEMEAD

ROSEMEA{DCIITY COUNCIL
FROM: BILL CROV}~~V"E, CITY MANAGER
DATE: JANUARY 18, 2006
RE: REQUEST FOR PARKING RESTRICTION ADJACENT TO A FIRE
HYDRANT BE REDUCED AT 7665 GRAVES AVENUE
A property owner requested that the parking restriction adjacent to a fire hydrant in front
her property at 7665 Graves Avenue be reduced. The property owner also requested
that the fire hydrant be relocated.
Pursuant to the California Vehicle Code, parking is restricted within 15 feet of a fire
hydrant. California Vehicle Code Section 22514 (b) allows local agencies to reduce this
distance if an agency adopts and ordinance or resolution reducing the distance.
Staff recommended that the property owner's request be denied. The Traffic
Commission deliberated this matter and the request was denied and referred to the City
Council.
The Traffic Commission staff report providing an analysis of this matter is attached.
Also attached is a survey of surrounding agency's responses to a survey staff
conducted regarding parking restrictions adjacent to fire hydrants.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council concur with the Traffic Commission and deny
the request to reduce the parking restriction adjacent to the fire hydrant in front of 7665
Graves Avenue.

TO: HONORABLE CHAIRMAN

ROSEMEAD TRAFFIC COMMISSSION
FROM: JOANNE ITAGAKI, TRAFFIC ENGINEERING DEPUTY
DATE: September 27, 2005
RE: Request for Parking Restriction Adjacent to a Fire Hydrant be
Reduce - 7665 Graves Avenue - Follow-up
DISCUSSION
At the Traffic Commission's regular meeting on August 4, 2005, this item was
discussed. Ms. Dolly Leong gave testimony to the Commission and suggested
the Commission delay action on the item until specific questions she had could
be answered.
Ms. Leong indicated that City plans for Tract 47192 show that the fire hydrant
was to be installed at the property line of the project. She further indicated that
the water company indicated to her that the water company has no control over
where the fire hydrants are placed. Ms. Leong requested Commission delay
action until City staff could answer these questions more sufficiently.
I requested the City Engineer respond to Ms. Leong's questions. Attached is a
memorandum from the City-Engineer.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the August agenda item and the City Engineer's memorandum, it is
recommended the request to reduce the distance a vehicle can park next to the
fire hydrant in front of 7665 Graves Avenue be denied. There are no
recommended changes to the parking restrictions on Graves Avenue between
7651 and 7715 Graves Avenue.

TO: JOANNE ITAGAKI, DEPUTY TRAFFIC ENGINEER
FROM: KEN RUKAVINA, CITY EGINEER
DATE: AUGUST 17, 2005
SUBJECT: FIRE HYDRANT @ 7665 GRAVES AVENUE
The fire hydrant at the subject location was installed in August 1997. A permit was
issued to Southern California Water Company for this and other water-related facilities
associated with the development of Tract 47192 at the intersection of Del Mar Avenue
and Graves Avenue.
A copy of the permit and plans for the proposed water facilities, including the fire
hydrants, are attached.
Title 20 of the Los Angeles County Government Code governs size, type and location of
fire hydrants. However, the code is not specific as to the placement of fire hydrants
along a street frontage. The code does state that the location of fire hydrants shall be
approved by the fire chief or fire marshal and by the road commissioner.
There are no standards with regard to the placement of above-ground facilities directly
in line with a property line. Generally, the attempt is made to place all above ground
facilities, whether it be fire hydrants, street lights, etc., in the vicinity of a property line;
however, the City has the right to place necessary public facilities anywhere along a
property frontage.
Plans for the subject fire hydrant show it to be placed in the vicinity of the property line
between 7665 and 7701 Graves Avenue, but since dimensions are not given, the
planned location of the fire hydrant within the parkway can be considered more
schematic than specific. The City's public works inspector would have approved the
location.
I have investigated the site and determined that there is adequate curb length for one
parking space without encroaching into the "no parking" zone of the fire hydrant. Even if
the hydrant were shifted east to the property line, only one parking space would still be
available. Therefore, I do not recommend any action be taken.

ROSEMEAD TRAFFIC COMMISSION
OCTOBER 6, 2005
The regular meeting of the Rosemead Traffic Commission was called to order by
Chairman Quintanilla at 7:00 pm, in the Council Chambers, 8838 East Valley Boulevard,
Rosemead
ROLL CALL
Present: Chairman Quintanilla, Vice-Chairperson Matsdorf
and Commissioner Knapp
Absent: None
Pledge of Allegiance: Commissioner Knapp
Invocation: Commissioner Quintanilla
1. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - August 4, 2005
It was moved by Commissioner Matsdorf, seconded by Commissioner Knapp and
carried unanimously to approve the minutes for August 4, 2005 and September 1,
2005 meetings.
H. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE - None
III. OLD BUSINESS
A. REQUEST FOR PARIUNG RESTRICTION ADJACENT TO A FIRE
HYDRANT BE REDUCED - 7665 GRAVES AVENUE
Deputy Traffic Engineer Itagaki presented the staff report.
Recommendation:
Deputy Traffic Engineer Itagaki noted that this item had been continued from the
August 4, 2005, meeting at the request of Ms. Dolly Leong to allow her adequate
time for preparation for the hearing. She also noted that the recommendation
remains unchanged, i.e., based on the field observation and measurements, it was
recommended the request to reduce the distance a vehicle can park next to the fire
hydrant in front of 7665 Graves Avenue be denied. There are no recommended
changes to the parking restrictions on Graves Avenue between 7651 and 7715
Graves Avenue.
• s
Speaking before the Commission was:
Dolly Leong (Property Owner)
8455 Mission Drive
Rosemead, CA 91770
Ms. Leong asked if the Commissioners had received a letter she sent them on this subject.
She also expressed disappointment that staff is again recommending denial. Ms. Leong
stated that she had been in contact with Dean Robinson, a water company executive, and
that he told her the water company has no objection to moving the fire hydrant which she
hoped would provide additional parking at this location. Ms. Leong said she cannot
understand why there are eight parking spaces in front of the other properties on Graves
Avenue and only one parking space in front of her property at 7665 Graves Avenue.
Deputy Traffic Engineer Itagaki explained that even if the fire hydrant were relocated a
few feet, there would still not be enough space for a second parking space in front of
7665 Graves Avenue. She noted that an automobile must be parked at least fifteen feet
from a fire hydrant according to Traffic Code 22514.B.
Commissioner Knapp said that she feels the item should be continued to allow the
Commissioners to speak with Dean Robinson about moving the fire hydrant.
Commissioner Matsdorf pointed out that the matter will be referred to the City Council
anyway and, in the interests of progress, suggested that the Commission make a decision
tonight.
It was moved by Commissioner Matsdorf, seconded by Commissioner Knapp, and
carried unanimously to accept the recommendation of the Deputy Traffic Engineer and
deny this request.
IV. NEW BUSINESS
A. REQUEST FOR CURB MARKINGS AT 3953 MUSCATEL AVENUE
Deputy Traffic Engineer Itagaki presented the staff report.
Recommendation:
It was recommended that the Traffic Commission receive comment from the
Chamber to determine which curb marking would best meet their needs. Staff has
no objection to the installation of curb markings except for red or blue as stated
previously.

Staff Report
Rosemead Traffic Commission
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRMAN
AND MEMBERS
ROSEMEAD TRAFFIC COMMISSSION
FROM: JOANNE ITAGAKI, TRAFFIC ENGINEERING DEPUTY
DATE: June 29, 2005
RE: Request for Parking Restriction Adjacent to a Fire Hydrant be
Reduce - 7665 Graves Avenue
REQUEST
Staff received a letter (attached) from Ms. Dolly Leong regarding parking in front
of 7665 Graves Avenue. Ms. Leong was concerned that the existing fire hydrant
in front of 7665 Graves Avenue reduces the length of available parking in front of
7665 Graves Avenue.
In Ms. Leong's letter, she has requested that the fire hydrant be relocated. She
has also requested that vehicles be allowed to park closer to the fire hydrant than
the usual 15 foot restriction.
CONDITIONS
Graves Avenue in the vicinity of 7665 Graves Avenue transitions from a width of
55 feet to 64 feet. There is one lane of traffic in each direction separated by a
two-way left-tum lane.
Exhibit A depicts the north curb line of Graves Avenue between 7651 and 7715
Graves Avenue. Pictures will be available at the Traffic Commission meeting.
DISCUSSION
Field observation of Graves Avenue was made during the early afternoon hours.
On-street parking on the north side of Graves Avenue in the subject area was
occupied with 4 vehicles parked between 7651 and 7715 Graves Avenue. There
was one vehicle parked in front of 7665 Graves Avenue.
As shown on Exhibit A, the frontage of 7665 Graves Avenue is approximately 55
feet wide. A fire hydrant is located approximately 9 feet from the east property
line. There is approximately 28 feet between the fire hydrant and the driveway.
The remaining 18 feet is driveway. Based on the location of the fire hydrant,
there is approximately 13 feet of available parking in front of 7665 Graves
Avenue.

Page 2 of 2
Ms. Leong has asked that the fire hydrant be relocated. Development projects
are often required to install fire hydrants at the direction of the Los Angeles
County Fire Department. When the project is under construction, the City's
Public Works Department issues a permit to install fire hydrants at the direction
of the water company. The water company directs where the fire hydrants are to
be located. As such, there is no reason for the fire hydrant to be relocated.
However, if Ms. Leong still wishes to have the fire hydrant relocated, she can
inquire with the Southern California Water company. If relocation is acceptable,
Ms. Leong can pay for the cost to relocate the fire hydrant.
Ms. Leong has further requested that vehicles be allowed to park closer than 15
feet to the fire hydrant. She correctly states that California Vehicle Code Section
22514 (b) allows local agencies to reduce this distance if the agency adopts an
ordinance or resolution reducing that distance. However, staff would not support
such an ordinance since there has not been any previous need to reduce this
distance. The 15 foot parking restriction from a fire hydrant is commonly known
by motorists and does not require the City to make special notification such as
red curb painted at each fire hydrant throughout the City.
The parking in front of 7665 Graves Avenue is limited to one parking space. This
parking space is minimal in length and provides enough space for most vehicles
to park without blocking the driveway or fire hydrant.

Based on the field observation and measurements, it is recommended the
request to reduce the distance a vehicle can park next to the fire hydrant in front
of 7665 Graves Avenue be denied. There are no recommended changes to the
parking restrictions on Graves Avenue between 7651 and 7715 Graves Avenue.
