Mayor Solem called the meeting to order and led in the Call to Order salute to the flag. Invocation was given by Rev. Paul E. Farrell of the First Invocation Christian Church. ' Present at Roll Call: Councilmen: Rubio, Snyder, Clark Roll Call Solem Absent: Councilman: Decker (excused) Also Present: Acting City Attorney Allen, Acting City Administrator Cooney, Superintendent of Light & Power Gerharz, Police Chief Elkins, Fire Chief Torrance, Director of Parks & Recreation Guarrera, Associate Planning Director Fitzsimmons, City Clerk Klarr The Minutes of the Adjourned Meeting of August 3, 1973, and the Regular Meeting of.August 6, 1973 were approved as submitted. Council requested a clarification of the motion by Councilman Decker on page 10 of the 8/6/73 Minutes re: Cable T.V. Committee. They asked that the matter be set for the 9/4/73 meeting when Councilman Decker would be present. The hour of 7:30 p.m. being the time set for a public ' hearing on an appeal from denial of a Variance by Planning Commission Resolution #1075, for the purpose of allowing a single -car garage instead of the required two -car garage, on property located at 902 E. Nearfield Street (Case V-355 —Anthony Arcone), the Mayor declared the hearing open. The City Clerk pre-ented the affidavit of proof of publica- tion of the Notice of this hearing in the Azusa Herald on 8/9/73, and the affidavit of posting of said Notice on 8/10/73• A memo was received from the Planning Commission, with Assessment of Environmental Impact. According to the memo, half of the two -car garage has been illegally converted to living area (family room) since the subject property was developed in 1955• Although the door remains in place, there is some question as to whether it will open (door appears to fit very tight and thereis no evidence of lock- ing hardware). Subjedt property is in the process of being sold and the new lender is requesting proof of permits for the garage conversion. It was the opinion of the Planning Commission that the two - car garage requirement is well founded and that use of 'same will increase the economic as well as the aesthetic value of the neighborhood. It was the recommendation of the Commission that this request be denied. The Assessment of Environmental Impact indicated that the granting of this request would have no significant environmental effects on this or any adjacent property. Tom Houlton appeared before Council as the representative of Mr. Arcone, the owner of the property, who had been called out of town, He informed Council that the garage had been converted in 1962. He pointed out that there is 8/3/73 &in. 8/6/73 Req.clarif.of motion Pub.Hrg. on app.fr.den.Var. (Case V-355 - Anthony Arcone) (Var. granted with a cond.)

He further stated that the conversion had been done by a professional contractor and that the owner had assumed a building permit had been issued for the conversion. The Mayor noted that the garage door was left intact and made immobile, even though an area large enough ' for one car had been left in the garage. Steve Cardenas, 223 N. Orange Avenue, who intends to purchase the property, addressed Council and stated that it was the additional living area in the garage which attracted them to this particular house. Robert Moyer, 317 Rosalynn Drive, Glendora, the selling agent, informed Council that Cal -Vet required a Variance on the garage or off-street parking permission. Discussion was held among Councilmen with reference to recent decisions allowing one -car garages and the length of time in which the conversion had existed. The need for providing garage space for at least one automobile was discussed, which required that at least a portion of the garage door would be made operable to allow access to the one -car space. No one else wishing to speak on this matter, and no further correspondence having been received, it was Moved by Councilman Rubio, seconded by Councilman Clark and unanimously carried to close the hearing. ' Moved by Councilman Rubio, seconded by Councilman Snyder and unanimously carried by roll call to grant the Variance subject to the condition that at least a portion of the garage door be made operable to give access to that portion of the garage remaining for parking one car, with this condition to be met no later than thirty (30) days from this date (8/20/73). 1 A proposed Resolution was presented, granting a Variance, subject to the above-mentioned condition (Case V-355 - Anthony Arcone).

AZUSA AUDITORIUM AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, AUGUST 20, 1973 Page 4 A petition was received, containing 47 signatures, which Petition req. requested that the Parish Hall at 4th Street and Dalton permanent clos- Avenue be permanently closed for the following reasons: ing of Parish Hall @ 4th & 1. Noise and music blaring past the lawful deadline. Dalton 2. Traffic congestion which may impose a hazard to any official emergency vehicle•(police, fire, ambulance). 3. Alcoholic beverages served to minors who then roam the streets late at night. 4. Streets littered with open alcoholic beverage containers. 5. Fights and riots which have been known to end in stabbings. Council questioned whether they had the ]P;al right to close down the Parish Hall which is privately owned by St. Frances of Rome Catholic Church. The question of the Parish Hall as a public nuisance was raised relative to the action of the Police Chief in closing the hall. The Police Chief addressed Council and explained that the closing of the hall was a mutually agreed upon action. He pointed out that it was not by his declaration; rather, an indeterminable period was agreed upon by Father Royer of St. Frances of Rome Church, and by the Deacons Club 'who has the franchise to operate the hall. The period of time might be two months; however, he felt that period could be a bit too long. Father Ronald Royer, Associate Pastor of St. Frances of Rome Catholic Church, 501 E. Foothill Boulevard, addressed Council and explained the Church's position relative to the Parish Hall. He noted that the Deacons Club has sole permission to operate the hall and there is no renumeration which comes back to the Church. He expressed the concern of the Church that, if the hall is a hazard, there be some- thing done to correct that. He offered suggestions to reduce the nuisance factors: One was a possible City-wide curfew; a second was stronger enforcement allowing no public drinking outside the hall. He noted that he was going to meet with the Deacons Club at their regular meeting on 8/22/73 and that the Police Chief would also be present. He suggested a few representatives from the petitioners might be present tta t evening to discuss the matter. It was his hope the responsibility would be properly placed and the problems would be solved as a result of this meeting. Council asked Father Royer if he would please inform them of the result of this meeting. 'Mrs. Josephine Gonzales, 415 N. Soldano Avenue, one of the petitioners, addressed Council and emphasized every person in the neighborhood wanted the Parish Hall closed now. She pointed out the Church has an auditorium which could be used instead of the Parish Hall. She expressed the fear of the residents of the area that there may be a killing as a result of some event at the Parish Hall. AZUSA AUDITORIUM AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, AUGUST 20, 1973 Henry Estrada, 256 E. Roland Street, addressed Council and pointed out that where the petitioners to close the hall have 47 signatures, he could produce a petition of some 300 signatures requesting the hall be kept open. He requested a fair hearing on the matter and pointed out the Parish Hall was the location used by many organizations, including the one he represented, The Helping Hand, for fund- raising events. To close the hall would severly hamper 'these beneficial functions by community organizations. He emphasized his own organization had already sold tickets for a fund-raising event to be held in the early partof September. Closing the hall would be a hardship. Mrs. Crescencia Miranda, 334 N. Dalton Avenue, another signatory of the petition, addressed Council and noted Mr. Estrada lived on Roland Street and could get 300 signatures of people who do not live in the area. She emphasized these people come to the Parish Hall functions and leave after a few hours, but the residents of the area are subjected to the noise and the disturbance for 12 or more hours, until even 2:30 in the morning. She expressed the feeling the Deacons Club does not want to work with the residents of the area. She also felt the kids do not want to use the Church auditorium as they do not know where to hide there or how to evade the Police. Pete Contreras, 336 S. Grandin Avenue, also representing the Helping Hand organization, explained to Council that most of the organizations which used the Parish Hall are older persons and do their own policing. The problem seems to be with the wedding dances which are basically younger persons and are not well policed by themselves. He felt it would be unfair to penalize the great majority of organizations who use the Parish Hall without violation incidents because of the few which may have problems. Art Morales, 337 N. Soldano Avenue, appeared before Council and asked the time and date of the meeting which Father Royer had mentioned, and whether the meeting was open to the public. Father Royer noted this was a regular meeting of the Deacons Club and did not feel that he had the right to invite the public to a private meeting of someone else's club. He felt the immediate residents could be welcome to help resolve the matter. Robert Gonzales, 415 N. Soldano Avenue, appeared before Council and expressed his feeling the Parish Hall itself is not needed; there are other places in town where these events could be held. Perhaps a better location might help the problem. The Mayor ascertained no one else present wished to address himself to this matter and again asked that a report of the 8/22/73 meeting be submitted to Council for its 9/4/73 meeting. ' No actiontaken by Council. A verbal request was made by Father Royer for waiver of the $10 permit fee for the Catholic Youth Organization dance to be held on 8/25/73 at 730 N. Pasadena Avenue. This is a non-profit organization. Moved by Councilman Snyder, seconded by Councilman Clark and unanimously carried to waive the $10 fee for the dance permit.
