the conditions imposed in the Variance by the Planning Commission

Mr. John J. Chapman, attorney, who resides at 409 E. 11th Street,
Azusa, appeared before Council as a representative of Coral
Investment, Inc., and presented an artist's rendering of the pro-
posed Garden Apartments, and explained various features of the
construction. Mr. Chapman submitted a petition, which he stated
containing approximately 1,296 signatures, and titled as follows:
"We, the undersigned citizens, tax payers, residents, and
Mbusinessmen and women of the City of Azusa, -strongly urge
t'" approval by the official City Government of the presently
�y proposed deluxe one story apartment to be located on the
Cn south east side of Azusa Avenue, said development being'
m proposed by Coral Investment, Inc.
Among the many reasons that we urge approval of this
development is that such a development as proposed would,
without question, not only be a beautiful structure and
accordingly a substantial asset to our City but in addi-
tion would afford a marked amount of tax revenue for our
City and at the same time constitute the type of deluxe
apartment housing that would enhance the beauty of the City
and be an upgrading development particularly in regard to
'the proposed location of the development."
Mr. J. R. Watkins, 1325 N. Soldano, appeared before Council as
spokesman for opponents to the variance and quoted Section 9231.26
of the Municipal Code, add stated that he desires that this
variance be declared null and void.
The following persons appeared before Council and spoke in
opposition to the granting of the variance to permit the pro-
posed development:
Mr. George Dye 322 E. Montello Dr., Azusa
Mr. Paul Risler 356 E. Montello Dr., Azusa
Mr. Glen Hart 1219 N. Pasadena Ave., Azusa

Mrs. Milla Boczar 1218 N Alameda Ave., Azusa
Mr. Al Bellerue 1225 N. Dalton, Azusa
Mr. F. Barthe 1122 N. Holmar, Azusa
A petition, bearing approximately 364 names, was submitted by
Mr. R. F. Kemple entitled:
"The undersigned, all residents of the City of Azusa,
take this opportunity to inform the Azusa City Council
that we are unalterably opposed to the change in zoning
concept as related to the property bounded by Azusa
Avenue on the west, Sierra Madre Avenue on the north,
and 13th Street on the south. A variance to allow non -
single -family residential dwellings or apartment type
dwellings to be constructed on this property is contrary
to the Master Plan and is considered to be not in the
Community's interests because it would destroy the
single family dwelling atmosphere now established in.the
area of North Azusa east of Azusa Avenue.
We the undersigned further ask the Azusa City Council to
note that this petition represents the third effort on the
ffm

part of residents of North Azusa to retain the zoning
principles and concepts established in the Master Plan."
The following persons appeared before Council and spoke in favor
of granting the proposed variance:

Mayor Ortuno further stated, in explanation of his vote on
this subject, that he voted "Aye" in order to go along with the
majority and not because he believed he voted correctly, as he
still feels that the Planning Commission treated this to the
utmost and that the variance should be granted for Garden Type
of apartments. The Mayor also stated that his vote would be with
the majority to oppose the variance.
