Biglow) to permit the installation of a baseball batting practice range in a C-2 zone, on property at 569 East Arrow Highway, the Mayor declared the hearing open. 7:30 p.m. Call to Order Invocation Roll Call Appvl.Min. 7/20/70 Pub.Hrg.on appeal from denial of Var. (Case V-249 - Friedeberg & Biglow) The City Clerk presented the Affidavit of Proof of (Tabled Publication of the Notice of Public Hearing, published until later on 7/22/70 in the Azusa Herald & Pomotropic, and the in the mtg.) Affidavit of Posting of Notice of this hearing on 7/23/70. A memo was received from the Planning Commission, which stated that considerable concern was expressed over the possibility of this type of use immediately adjacent to the existing apartment development to the west; that different methods of reducing or limiting the nuisance that might result to the neighboring residents were discussed, including noise barriers, screening, hours of operation,,etc.; and that it is the opinion of the Plan- ning Commission that this type of use is not a proper use for this zone, especially at this location. No one being present to represent the applicant, it was Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Rubio and unanimously carried to table this item until later in the meeting. The hour of 7:30 P.M. also being the time set for the public hearing on an appeal from denial of a Variance by Planning Commission Resolution No. 860 (Case V-251 - Kathryn Soelberg) to permit multiple family residential use in a C-3 zone, on property at 990 East Alosta Avenue, the Mayor declared the hearing open. The City Clerk presented the Affidavit of Proof of Publication of the Notice of Public Hearing, published on 7/22/70 in the Azusa Herald & Pomotropic, and the Affidavit of Posting of Notice of this hearing on 7/23/70. A memo was received from the Planning Commission, which stated they felt the applicant should have submitted a development plan, as had originally been indicated he would, to show density and type of development proposed. Pub.Hrg.on appeal from denial of Var.(Case V-251 - K. Soelber�) (referred bk. to P1an.Comm. for further consid.to be based upon plot plan to be submitted) AZUSA AUDITORIUM AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 1970 Page 2 The Commission also felt that if a Variance, as requested, was granted, the property would still be zoned C-3 (General Commercial) and the City would not have the control necessary to prevent mixed development (commercial and residential) on the property in question. It was the opinion of the Planning Commission that a zone change would be the proper method whereby the applicant could develop the property as he proposes, and the control of mixed develop- ment could still be maintained by the City. At the same time, however, no indication was given as to how favorable their recommendation for.a zone change might be. Glenn B. Soelberg, attorney, appeared on behalf of Kathryn Soelberg, the applicant. He stated he intended to build an apartment complex on the south 310' of the subject property, while keeping the northern portion for commercial develop- ment, and was not aware of the requirement to submit maps or drawings to the Planning Commission for their considera- tion. Further, he needed the granting of this Variance so that lending institutions would give him financing. He requested that the Variance be granted without conditions, on the basis of the general idea rather than upon any concrete proposal. He stated that he had been related to the City and a land -owner in the City for a number of years, that he was going to be present for some time, and requested the Council to have some trust in what he wanted to do was for the good of the community. He claimed that if he were given the Variance he wished to have, he would be able to go to lenders and receive financing, and would be able to get the necessary drawings and develop the plans on this basis. Mrs. Charles Rupert, 6262 Calera Avenue, addressed Council and declared that there were a great number of apartments in the area and she felt that additional apartments would be to the City's disadvantage, particularly with the in- crease of traffic, demand on fire services, etc. Mr. Charles Rupert, 6262 Calera Avenue, appeared before Council and referred to East Hollyvale Street, adjacent to the present apartments, which is constantly dirty and debris strewn because cars are parked there all hours of day and night, and there is no way for the streetsweeper to clean. He requested that, if a Variance were granted, there must be something done regarding street openings in the proposed area to prevent a repeat of such littering and debris. Kenneth McCutcheon, 6256 Calera Avenue, appeared before Council and reiterated the number of apartments in the area, and pointed out that the Azusa Pacific College is increasing the number of dormitories which would increase traffic congestion in the area. He felt that if Council were to grant such a Variance and accede to the wishes of the applicant, it would be setting a dangerous precedent. After further discussion, it was Moved by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Rubio and unanimously carried to refer this matter back to the Planning Commission for further consideration to be based upon a plot plan to be submitted by the applicant, Kathryn Soelberg. The recommendation from the Personnel Board regarding amendment of certain positions and salaries in the Table of Organization, with certain new job specifications, having been continued from the 7/20/70 meeting, was again considered by Council. Pers.Bd.recom. re:amendment of certain positions & salaries -Table of Organization 1 AZUSA AUDITORIUM AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 1970 Page 3 As requested, the City Administrator submitted a review of salaries for Department Heads considering reorganization, recommending fair and reasonable salary differentials between several Department Heads. The new reorganization recommendations should take into account that the Superin- tendent of Light and Power has less duties than the former Superintendent of Light, Water and Power; whereas the Recreation Director has increased duties due to the addition of Parks; the Director of Public Works has lost the respon- sibility of the Parks, but has picked up the responsibility of the Water Department. However, the City Engineer has increased duties over and above the former Assistant City Engineer position, thereby reducing the responsibility of the Director of Public Works; and Central Garage duties have been transferred to the City Administrator's office from Public Works. It was recommended by the City Administrator that the following salary ranges be adopted: Director of Public Works Superintendent of Light and Power Park and Recreation Director Range 132.0 (1st Step) Range 130.5 (5th Step) Range 130.0 (5th Step) Moved by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Decker and unanimously carried by roll call to accept the recommenda- tion of the City Administrator re: salary ranges for Director of Public Works, Superintendent of Light and Power, and Park and Recreation Director, as submitted. After discussion re: new qualifications and job specifi- cations, it was Moved by Councilman Snyder, seconded by Councilman Clark and unanimously carried to accept the new job specifications for Director of Public Works, Superintendent of Light and Power, Park and Recreation Director, and City Engineer, except to request review and recommendation by the Person- nel Board of two items in the qualifications of Superin- tendent of Light and Power, i.e., increase schooling from high school graduation to equivalent of A.A. degree, and increase experience from 5 years to 8 years of pro- gressively responsible administrative and supervisory experience in the operation of an electric utility system. (Cont. from 7/20/70) New salary ranges accepted New qualifi- cations & job specs The matter of the Civil Defense Director was discussed Civil Def. and no action taken by Council. The present organizational Director structure remains with regard to this matter. The Mayor suggested the possibility of the Assistant Civil.Defense Director maintaining an additional office in the City Hall area rather than in the E.O.C. for daily activity. An invitation to attend the 12th Annual Town Affiliation Convention at San Diego, August 26 thru 29, 1970, with registration at $35 each, having been continued from 5/18/70 meeting, was again considered by Council.
