The hour of 7:30 p.m. being the time set for the public
hearing on an appeal from denial of a zone change from
C-2 to R -3b, by Planning Commission Resolution ;#881,
on property at 791 So. Azusa Avenue, excluding 200 feet
frontage easterly thereof (Case Z-160 - M. I. Siskin)gthe
Mayor declared the hearing open.
The City Clerk presented the affidavit of proof of
publication of the Notice of this Public Hearing on
1/25/70 in the Azusa Herald & Pomotropic, and the
f1davit of posting of Notice of this Hearing on 11/24/70.
memo was received from the Planning Commission which
stated that the applicant proposes to develop this area
with three-story apartment building and a garage structure;
this, however, would require a Variance since 2Z stories
is maximum permitted in any residential zone. Further,
the Planning Commission felt that, due to the commercial
development already in this area, the subject property
will. ultimately be one of the major commercial centers
within the City; also that this parcel is one of the few
remaining parcels of greater than 5 acres, within the
City's boundaries or planning area, with frontage on a
maior highway. The memo further stated that a develop-
ment, as proposed, would provide a buffer between the
single-family residential use to the west and the com-
mercial use to the east. However, it would serve as a
buffer to only this one portion, since commercial use
abuts single-family residential to the north, and com-
mercial zoning abuts single-family residential to the
south; and since this would be surrounded by commercial
on three sides, a spot zoning effect would result.
te City Clerk presented s letter from the applicant,
rshall I. Siskin, who requested that this hearing be
stponed until 12/21/70.
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Rubio
and unanimously carried to continue the hearing to
12/21/70 at 7:30 p.m.
The 30 -day extension granted on 11/2/70, for submission
of plans by an engineer to the Building Inspector,
having expired, the Substandard Structure Abatement
Program on property located at 723 No. Azusa Avenue,
owned by Anthony M. and Julia S. Ortuno, was again
brought to Council.
The City Clerk read a letter from Richard J. House,
Contractor, to Mr. Ortuno, dated 11/23/70, which gave
confirmation of their recent agreement to provide the
plans and specifications necessary to rectify th- sub-
standard conditions as cited by the City to the build-
ings at 723 No. Azusa Avenue. It further stated that
the plan is to provide preliminary designs and specif-
ications that will correct the deficiencies, submit
these to the City, and then, after obtaining preliminary
approval, complete the working set of plans.
tr
bert Schwab, attorney, 190 No. Canyon Drive,addressed Council. He stated that he had just
cently been engaged to represent Mr. Ortuno and, to
his knowledge at this time, he felt that these proceed-
ings were not providing equal protection under the law,
and would deprive a person of property without due
process, and therefore requested that this matter be
held over for 30 days in order to give him time to
research the facts of the case and to confer with the
City Attorney in order to come to an agreement. If
this is not granted, he felt he would have to start
an injunction for declaratory relief.

The Council noted that it had given an extension to Mr. Ortuno,
with the understanding that he would submit plans that would
meet the abatement request. It was understood that such plans
had been submitted. Mr. Schwab informed Council that the
plans had been withdrawn pending investigation of the action.
The City Attorney reviewed the history of the case for Council
and was of the opinion that Council need not grant the further
xtension requested.
d Tyck, 703 No. Azusa Avenue, addressed Council, express-
ing the feeling that action with regard to upgrading the central
business district has taker: so many years that it would not be
unreasonable to grant Mr. Ortuno's attorney the additional
30 -days extension he requested.
The City Attorney outlined for Council the following three
possible procedures:
(1) Council may order use of the premises discontinued
until corrective action is taken.
(2) Refer to the District Attorney for appropriate pro-
ceedings for violations of the City Ordinance.
(3) City to undertake the work of repair or rehabilita-
tion, or to demolish the building, the cost of the
work to be assessed against the property owner and
placed on his regular tax bill for 1971-72.

Engineer, Div. of Building and Safety of the Los Angeles
County Engineer's Department, and the City Administrator,
and various methods of rehabilitating the structure and/
or demolition of parts or all of it were discussed: however,
Mr. Suman did not make any comment or present any plan
s to his decision whether he wished to bring the build -
ng up to code or to have it demolished. He left copies
f letters from two structural engineers, as well as
eports from the L. A. County Building Department, regard-
ing this structure.
Mr. A. L. Suman, 332 Sturtevant Drive, Sierra Madre,
addressed Council and stated that the City has no plan
for construction, that the whole procedure is one of
destruction. He further felt that he could reiterate the
same two points made by Mr. Schwab, attorney for Mr.
Cr:;uno. He stated that he had no intention of upgrading
t,ie structure under the coercion of Council.

A report was received from the Director of Public
Works re: water pressure at the Eagles Lodge and other
properties on San Gabriel Canyon Road, north of the
City limits. The following alternates were submitted
for improving both the pressure and the quantity of
water served to this area:
Alternate 4!1. The best.way to provide both fire
on-stnd domestic few to the subject properties is to con-
s truct
ruct a new main with a minimum diameter of 6" in San
abriel Canyon Road and connect it to the existing
water system in the intersection of Sierra Madre and
Azusa Avenues. The water system at this point is on
Water Zone No. 3, which is a higher pressure zone and
is capable of supplying a static pressure of 90 p.s.i.
The estimated cost of this alternate would be $25,000.
Alternate #2. Another approach which would increase
the static pressure on the existing 114" water main is to
connect the line in San Gabriel Canyon Raod to an ex-
isting 4" main on Old "an Gabriel Road. The 4" main
Is presently on the higher Zone No. 3. Making this
connection would involve securing an easement over
private property at the existing Bait Shop, the con-
struction of approximately 75 lineal feet of 2" gal-
vanized water line, and securing the permission of the
owners of the Foothill Dairy. This last requirement
is necessary because of an existing agreement between
the City and the Dairy, entered into at the time the
City acquired the 4" line. This alternate will only
improve the domestic pressure by 50% b+it wit- not
affect the present fire flow deficiencies. The r•^Ft
of this alternate is estimated tc be approximately $200
or repair and material for City crews to make the
or.r.ection.
It was recommended by the Director of Public Works that
Council adopt Alternate No. 2 and authorize the Public
Works Department to make the connection to Water Zone
No Implementation of Alternate No. 1 could be
budgeted in the future, possibly after the time that
these properties are annexed to the City.

tion to proceed according to Alternate No. 2.
The Director of Public Works submitted a report re:
updating the City's Bikeway System, accordin^ to the
recommendations contained in Scout Doiron's study.
On an inspection of the Bikeway System, it was learned
that all of the signs are faded and look rather shabby.
Also, the System should be re -dedicated as the "Harry
Wharton Memorial Bikeway", and the new signs could
carry that legend in recognition of the efforts of the
ate Mr. Wharton who was Vice -President of the Azusa
hamber of Commerce at the time the System was established.
t is estimated there are 75 signs to be placed or re -
laced. The existing signs were purchased from Huffman
Manufacturing Co, in Azusa through arrangements by the
Charrber of Commerce, and the Director of Public Works
would follow thissame procedure.
It was the recommendation of the Director of Public
Works that Council adopt the extensions of the bike route
and authorize the re -naming to "Harry Wharton Memorial
Bikeway".
