river bed maintenance operations in the Water Conservation 160
Zone.
Mayor Pro -tem declared the Hearing open. The,City Clerk Hrg opened
read the affidavit of proof of publication of notice of
said Hearing published in the Azusa Herald on August 24th.
Community Development Director Bruckner addressed this item Testimony
advising that State law required that a City's zoning and Staff
general plan be consistent. The amendment will recognize
the regional or statewide significance of mineral deposits
in Azusa, including the gravel deposits found in the San
Gabriel Riverbed. The code amendment would allow for
managed recovery of these mineral resources within the
constraints of the W zone for the protection of water
spreading areas. He further stated that the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers is responsible for activities conducted
in the San Gabriel Riverbed. In the past, the Corps has
taken the position that any activities, such as the removal
of rock or gravel, conducted on such federally owned
properties are exempt from any local regulations, if these
activities are not regulated in this manner. This code
amendment would serve to recognize river bed maintenance
operations as a policy, but would not affect these
operations in any practical manner.
Ms. Sharon Duggan, attorney representing the Save the Testimony
Foothills Committee, addressed this item stating that many S. Duggan
facts and requirements should be considered prior to Council
09/06/88 PAGE FOUR
approval of the code amendment. She stated that an
Environmental Impact Report should be prepared which would
address specific air emissions or deterioration of air
quality.
Further discussion was held between the Council and Ms.
Duggan regarding the need for an EIR.
Community Development Director Bruckner advised the Council
that there was no need for an EIR in this matter, as the
'amendment was for the Water Conservation Zone, only. That
the Corps of Engineers are responsible for this activity and
that, presently, our Code does not provide for it. That in
the event this amendment were not approved, the Corps would
still remove rock and gravel from the riverbed. The code
amendment is necessary to legalize maintenance operations.
Mr. Art Morales addressed this item stating that since the
Corps of Engineers was responsible for this excavation, that
the City should have rules governing its operations.
Moved by Councilman Latta, seconded by Councilwoman Avila
and unanimously carried by roll call* to close the Hearing.

Rudisel prior to receiving his testimony.
Mr. Rudisel advised that since the property was declared a

commercial use or have it demolished. Mr. Rudisel, further,
presented photographs of the property for Council to view.

At the August 15th meeting, action was taken to remove the Reappoint
Mayor as the representative to the County Sanitation Mayor to L.A.

Forest Preservation Society, read declaration of Mr. James complaints
in protest of the fees charged by the Forest Service and the of fee @
County of Los Angeles to access the recreational areas in canyon
the canyon, as well as certain incidents that occurred when
he questioned officers at the canyon who were charging said
fees. He further stated that a law suit had been filed in
'the Federal Court against the County of Los Angeles and the
Department of Agriculture, and presented a copy of the suit
to the City Clerk for information.
Mayor Pro -tem Naranjo stated that he had been at the site on Comments
both Saturday and Sunday and that there were minimal Naranjo
problems in collection of the fees and that there was a back
up of traffic, but felt that could be controlled within
time. He further stated that the accident rates were down
as well as less speeding vehicles and felt the program was a
good one.
Mr. David Denis, who resides at Crystal Lake campground,
Comments
addressed the Council stating that he could not agree that
D. Denis
this was a good program. The parking fees collected were
not ample enough to upgrade the canyon as stated by the
County. At present, there is no patrolling of the areas and
the campgrounds are in deplorable condition. He requested
that Council reconsider their action in support of this fee.
He went on to state that the canyon was closed for 5 hours
on Saturday and 7 hours on Sunday, which did not help the
businesses in the canyon.
Mayor Pro -tem stated that because of the collection of fees
Comments
the parking in the canyon could be monitored in order for
Naranjo
emergency vehicle access. He also stated that drunk driving
& Stemrich
had been deterred. Councilman Stemrich advised Mr. Denis of
the number of vehicles stopped and number of arrests made.
He further advised that the canyon was closed because there
was in excess of 10,000 vehicles parked and the canyon was'
full. He further advised that there was going to be a
critique of the program at the Department of Forestry on
Wabash Avenue in Glendora, at 10:00 A. M., September 7th,
and that it would be to Mr. Denis' benefit to attend and
voice his opinions at that time, providing that the meeting

Councilwoman Avila stated that the past week -end was not the Comments
first time that the canyon had been closed. There were Avila
numerous times that it was closed because of over crowding.
She also stated that the agreement stipulated that it could
be withdrawn at any time within 30 days. However, she felt
that one week -end was too soon to justify any action such as
that and also advised of the critique meeting to be held in
Glendora.
Mr. Roland Reynolds, a permittee of the National Forest, Comments
addressed Council stating that any funds the Forestry R. Reynolds
Service collected went into the General Fund of the United
States and could not be used here and were of no benefit.
He further stated that the meeting in Glendora had to be
open to the public because of the Sunshine Act. Further, he
advised that the Forestry Service had over -stepped their.
bounds and the problems would have to be resolved in court.
Mr. Armand Denis addressed Council and wanted to advise the Comments
Council that the concessioners at Crystal Lake do not run A. Denis
the campground, it is operated by the Forestry Service.
That there is no patrolling of the area at all. He,
further, stated people wanting to visit Crystal Lake were
not allowed to enter the canyon, because the canyon was
closed, which he felt was not right.
Discussion ensued regarding which entity had the
responsibility to close the canyon.
It was consensus of Council that Mr. Morales could speak for Consensus
two minutes and that Mr. Maguin could speak for another five to allow
minutes, due to the fact that this item had extended time spkrs
limit of 30 minutes.
Mr. Morales stated that he felt the program was a good Comments
program and that like all new programs, needed time to iron A. Morales
out any problems He felt that for safety reasons the
program was needed.
Mr. Eugene Maguin addressed the Council stating that the Comments
Forestry Service has cancelled or terminated land lease E. Maguin
holds and have not issued any new land lease holds to date.
The canyon is not being managed properly and that the only
entity that can close the canyon is the Forestry Service.

Mrs. Gayle Avakian addressed the Council regarding proposed
nursery at the Cyanamid site and if an EIR had been made.
She felt that the pesticides and herbicides used at
nurseries were dangerous to the health of the residents as

nursery is a permitted use in the M-1 zone and a much less
intensive use than the existing industrial plants in that
area, and that based on that fact, an EIR was not prepared,
only a Negative Declaration. The Precise Plan of Design
process is the procedure used in this case for approval and
the Planning Commission did approve, and that to date, the
nursery has complied with all City regulations. Further,
studies revealed that no contaminants were in the soil.
Mrs. Avakian went on to state that the Azusa Dump has been
cited as having the dangerous pollutants and right near that
area we have one of the worst wells and, again, stated that
we need to protect our residents from these dangers.
