in a C-2 zone, on property at 569 E. Arrow Highway, the
Mayor declared the hearing open.
'Robert Hughes, 452 Greer Avenue, Covina, agent for the
applicants, addressed Council and explained that'the major
reason for denial by the Planning Commission was the
feeling that noise would bother adjacent apartment resi-
dents. He proposed a canvas sound barrier to be placed
on the wall facing the apartment houses. He also listed
uses allowed in a C-2 zone which would be noisier than
the use he proposes. He explained that the business
would operate daily from approximately six months out of
the year and then on weekends'.only, for the remainder.
Time open on week -days would by 5:00 P.M. to 9:30 p -m-,
and on week -ends from 10:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. It was
ascertained that the batting range would be enclosed in a
wire mesh rather than a solid'wall-type building.

Resolution #868, of Sections 9214.10(b)2(QQ) and 9206 of the
Municipal Code re: proper zoning for disabled, repaired or

The City Clerk presented the Affidavit of Proof of Publi-
cation of Notice of this Hearing in the Azusa Herald &
Pomotropic on 8/26/70.
A memo was received from the Planning Commission which
stated that this amendment is specifically directed toward
the operation of an impound yard such as would be required
by an insurance company, an automobile club, a police im-
pound yard, or something along these lines. It is intended
to permit the storage of disabled, repaired or impounded
vehicles while awaiting the decision of the legal and/or
registered owner as to how or where such a vehicle is to
be disposed of or repaired,and is in no way intended to
permit automobile wrecking yard establishments or operation.
The amendment provides for a storage yard for such vehicles,
which may be permitted after a public hearing in each case,
under a Conditional Use Permit, provided no dismantling or
wrecking is conducted in conjunction therewith, and that
such yards be located not less than 300 feet from Azusa
Avenue, San Gabriel Avenue, Alosta Avenue, or Foothill
Boulevard.

According to the report, only the property owners on sidewalks in
Mauna Loa Avenue,between Citrus Avenue and Powell School, ped.throughfare:
have been contacted and, as a result, 100% of these owners leading to
have indicated their willingness to participate in the schools
program. However, it is believed by the City Officials
present at the meeting with the property owners on Mauna (appvd.recomm.)
1 Loa Avenue that similar meetings in other areas would be
as successful when all of the problems and details of the
program are discussed.
It was recommended by the City Administrator that the

walks on a share basis with the adjacent property owners
on those streets containing high pedestrian traffic lead-
ing to schools, with the City paying for the labor and
equipment, and the property owners paying for the material.

requesting a written contract or agreement between each
property owner and the City as to the total cost.
The City Administrator said a receipt, with terms, will be
given to each property owner, which will state the total
contribution by such owner, and that the City will do the
work, and include a release to such property owner for
any cost for damages.
