AZUSA AUDITORIUM AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1970 Page 2 Moved by Councilman Clark, seconded by and'unanimously carried to continue the 1/4/71, as requested by the applicant. Councilman Decker hearing to The City Clerk submitted communications from attorneys for W. B. Ihnen re: abatement order on Substandard Struc- ture at 116 W. Foothill Blvd. (hearing closed 7/20/70). Lawrence Teplin, 124 Lasky Drive, Beverly Hills, attorney for W. B. Ihnen, addressed Council and stated that the owner had corrected all the items in the Notice of Deficiency with regard to the property at 116 W. Foothill Boulevard, with the exception of the structure meeting the requirements of the Codes to resist seismic forces. He pointed out that it was not economically feasible to destroy the buildings which are structurally inter -related. These buildings extend from the gun shop, west of the subject property, to the restaurant which is south of the subject property..on Azusa Avenue, and includes a real estate office, furniture store, upholstery shop, drapery shop, and a hotel. He proposed removing the Certificate of Occupancy for the portion of these build- ings above the first floor as a means of meeting the safety requirements. He also submitted a letter from Wiener and Weiss, attorneys for Mrs. Willa Mae Ladue, owner of the restaur- ant at 637 N. Azusa Avenue, which stated that Mrs. Ladue has a valid lease until 9/30/71, and that, were this lease to be broken, Mrs. Ladue w6uld take what necessary action was available to her. Mr: Teplin further sub- mitted a photograph of the buildings in question. The Director of Public Works addressed Council and stated that leaving the premises vacant would not solve the safety problem because, in a seismic shock, the walls would fall outward and thereby be a hazard to pedestrians and traffic. Councilman Snyder discussed with the Director of Public Works the possibility of removing the portion of the building above the first floor, to reduce the weight on the first -floor structure as a means to increasing its strength. He also discussed the possibility of reinforcing the walls separating the structure from the adjacent structures. Harry Moore of Moore's Furniture, 645 N. Azusa Avenue, addressed Council and stated he felt that the building is safe and that it had stood during the quake of 1933 and subsequent earthquakes. He also explained to Council that their action has resulted in an eviction notice from Mr. Ihnen's attorneys, which would not provide sufficient time for him to liquidate his stock and to find other premises. - Gene Hensley, owner of the Azusa Gun Shop, 124 W. Foothill Boulevard, addressed Counciland stated that, to his knowledge, it was the intent of Council to destroy the buildings in downtown Azusa and replace them with a Mall, to which he was opposed. Mrs. Willa M. Ladue, owner of Ladue's Restaurant at 637 N. Azusa Avenue, addressed Council and stated that she would like to remain in her present location until her lease expires. Communications fr.attys. for W.B.Ihnen re: abate.order on Subst.Struc.@ 116 W.Foothill (Abate.Order ext. to 2/20/71) Allen Reinhardt, owner of the Griffith Building (which houses the Foothill Drugstore and is across Foothill Boulevard from the subject property), addressed Council and stated that no person has been killed thus far by the buildings falling down and no other City in California is as interested in earthquakes as this City seems to be. He accused the City of AZUSA AUDITORIUM AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1970 having no plan to beautify, rather simply to destroy, and by doing so would be destroying half of the City. He further claimed that he has been involved with the downtown study and with attempts to upgrade the downtown area, and has received no cooperation from the City nor help when it was asked for. Mr. W. B. Ihnen, owner of the subject property, addressed Council and pointed out that the major concern of the business- men in the complex of buildings surrounding the subject property, is the matter of time, and the consideration of shoring up the walls adjacent to the other buildings and the possibility of removing the second story are considerations he wishes time to investigate. He pointed out that the present abatement order expires on 1/20/71 and he asked for a 60 or 90 day extension in order to provide the time for the above, consideration. Moved by Councilman Snyder, seconded by Councilman Rubio and unanimously carried by roll call to extend the abatement order for 30 days (until 2/20/71) in order to provide specific plans for making the structure safe. Councilman Clark stated that he approved this as an exception because this building is part of a total complex which would be affected and which includes occupied stores. The City Clerk submitted his request for confirmation of the appointment of Mrs. Evelyn D. Davey as Account Clerk, probationary, in the Accounting Department, at Step 1 of Range 109.5, effective as of 12/14/70.

Re-examination of the master plan of development of the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area which was presented sometime ago by the County at a meet- ing of several cities. 2. Contacted the Director of Parks and Recreation in the City of Duarte. 3. Contacted the Design Section of the Park Planning Division of the County of Los Angeles, Department of Parks and Recreation. .The following findings are based on this investigation: 1. The County of Los Angeles has received and is con- sidering the several requests for additional facilities as presented by cities surrounding the Santa Fe Dam Recreational Area. 2. They are proceeding with Phase I of the development plan, trying to iron out final details and commence construction on the golf course in the main recrea- tion area. ' 3. The road extension described above is not desirable from an economic standpoint and has not received the blessing of the Corps of Engineers which feels that it would be impossible to do this. This also would be of benefit only to a small portion of the City of Duarte. Access to the park as proposed in the County's plan would be readily available to all other persons, and those few persons in Duarte who would be affected by this very expensive road ex- tension could utilize the Foothill Freeway or High- way 66 to Irwindale Avenue, the same as others would.

The suggestion to acquire use of additional land in the northwest portion of the area for athletic areas is undesirable as it is in a natural flood control channel which receives heavy run-offs and empties into the San Gabriel River during rainy seasons. It was recommended in the report that Council do not correspond further with the County at this time on the matter, as they have the City's recent letter on file, are aware of the City's interest, and indicate they will take every step to develop the park as soon as possible. Moved by Councilman Rubio, seconded by Councilman Decker and unanimously carried to receive and file the report.

After this discussion, Mr. Bond indicated that he would like to have a pilot'program involving children living immediately south of Gladstone Street School who are not presently served by a park or school playground operating in the immediate vicinity. The program he would like to initiate, after the first of the year, would be to bus children from this area to the YMCA in Covina for activities., The operation of this program over a period of time will indicate if there is a greater need in Azusa for this type of activity or some similar type of program, and the Council will be kept advised of the progress of this pilot program.
