with a cond.)
The City Clerk pre -Anted the affidavits 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 there is 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
AZUSA AUDITORIUM AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, AUGUST 20, 1973
room for three cars in the driveway. 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.

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 legal 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 that 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 Page 5
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 action taken 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.
