C-3 zone, on property at 990 E. Alosta Avenue, the Mayor K.Soelberg).
declared the hearing open.
(appeal denied)
A report was received from the Planning Commission, which
stated the Commission had reviewed the new data submitted
by the applicant to support the request for a Variance to
construct apartments on the rear 310 feet of the property
located at the southwest corner of Calera and Alosta
Avenues. The new data included a more detailed plot plan,
date q.heet, floor plans of individual units, and elevations
of proposed development (conies of which were submitted to
Council). Submitted also was a letter containing 49 signatures
of people in the area who are opposed to this development.
Upon review of the new evidence; and additional testimony
by the proponents and opponents; the Planning Commission
recommended that their earlier decision be reversed and
the request for a Variance be approved, subject to the
following conditions:
(1) Proposed development shall comply with plans as
submitted, as additional evidence.
(2) Precise Plan subject to review and approval by
( the Planning Commission.
Glenn B. Soelberg, 2030 Lorraine Road, San Marino, addressed
Council and expressed his appreciation for the patience and
understanding of the Council and for providing him time to
,meet the Planning Commission requirements on his request. He
noted that he would like to begin immediately with a com-
mercial development on the property.
Dave Simmerman, 6250 Hanlin Ave., addressed Council as a
representative of the concerned citizens opposing the pro-
posed apartment complex. In his discussion, he made the
following points:
(1) There are already two large apartment complexes in
the same area.
AZUSA AUDITORIUM AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1970
(2) Residents of the area have had to suffer the noise
created from the vehicles of the apartment dwellers.
(3) The school in the area (Powell School) cannot accomo-
date the children which would reside in the proposed
apartments.
(4) The concerned citizens feel that the increase of
' school children would require bussing of the children
to other schools or adding buildings to the existing
school, which would increase taxes.
(5) Residents of the area oppose the opening of any cul-
de-sacs or deadend streets to meet the traffic
increase created by the apartment dwellers.
(6) The location of the apartments would increase traffic
which would be a threat to the children coming and
going to school.
(7) The home owners of the area agree that the orchard
presently on the .property should be removed because
it is the location for criminal acts such as drug
parties, and noise and dust disturbing activities
such as motorbike riding.
(8) It is their suggestion that rather than an apartment
complex, a professional building or small stores be
placed on this property, which would not increase
traffic.
(9) It is their understanding that the sewer line down
' Calera Avenue would be inadequate to serve the apart-
ments and would need to be replaced, which would also
increase taxes.
(10) Apartments tend to bring in undesirable persons, and
the home owners in the adjacent area would feel they
would be forced to move to find peace and a better
place to live.
Michael Saffell, 6261 Hanlin Avenue, addressed Council and
re-emphasized the fact that this opposition was the feeling of
a majority of the people in the area and not just one or two
persons. He further explained that the shortest route from
the proposed apartments to the Freeway would be south on Calera
Avenue and west on Mauna Loa Street, thus increasing the traffic
going by the school. The congestion of people would also
increase police problems. He felt the original concept of com-
mercial zoning for this property was correct and would be in
error to change it to residential.
David Armstrong, 620 No. Cerritos Avenue, addressed Council
stating that he felt the student body at Powell School would
increase normally anyway, even without the apartment complex.
He felt there was a need for housiln- in the City and that
this housing would benefit the City -a§ a whole, where denial
of the housing would benefit only a few people.
Wayne Rowe, 6256 Hanlin Avenue, `addressed Council, re-
emphasizing the desire of the residents to not lose the cul-
de-sacs and also underlining the threat to the school
children from the increase of careless drivers. He felt
that if the property were developed commercially, the
traffic would not increase on Calera Avenue and Mauna Loa
Street, as shoppers would use Alosta and Citrus Avenues.

Gerald L. Walker, 6250 Calera Avenue, addressed Council
and expressed the present problem of apartment house dwellers
parking in front of their properties, and expressed the
feeling that this would be compounded with additional apart-
ments in the area.
James Fairchild, 1007 E. Hollyvale Street, addressed Council,
stating he lived in one of the apartments already in the
area and did not feel that the apartment residents parked
their cars in front of the adjacent homes, particularly
because of possible vandalism.
Charles Rupert, 6262 Calera Avenue, addressed Council in
response to a question raised by Councilman Clark and
stated that the residents of the area have more trouble
getting Azusa Police to respond to the disturbances in
the City area than they do from the County Sheriffs re-
sponding to the County territory just across the street.
Janice Powell, 6239 Galanto Avenue, addressed Council
and re-emphasized that there was no more room for addition-
al children to attend Powell School.

and to uphold Planning Commission Resolution #860, and
to direct the City attorney to prepare the necessary
Resolution denying the Variance.
Councilman Decker explained he voted "Aye" not because of
'the testimony presented, but because he felt it is commercial
property and he had objected previously to the other apart-
ments going in.
