ITEMS CONTINUED FROM AUGUST 23, 1988 MEETING
CITYWIDE STREET SWEEPING PARKING RESTRICTIONS:
1. Proposed Ordinance for Parking Restrictions (Amends No. 576)
2. Consider Policy for Issuance of Permits
3. Proposed Resolution Establishing Permit Parking Fees
4. Enforcement Procedure
Public Works Director Ralph presented Agenda Memos, a proposed Ordinance,
and a proposed Resolution relative to subject Agenda items.
Council Member Hayden submitted a one -page survey done by Warren and Gloria
Heer, entitled "Parking Prohibition Signs for Street Sweeping." The survey
included the cities of LaMirada, Lakewood, and Norwalk.
Members of the Public addressed the Council as follows:
Mr. Bruce Rogers, 9315 Fostoria St., urged a higher cost for permits
($200.00), arguing that anyone could pay the $25.00 suggested and vehicles would
not be removed from the streets.
Mr. Leon Emerson, 7607 Yankey St., stated that as a Judge he has firsthand
experience of enforcement and suggested block posting and to enforce the
Ordinance as written.
Mr. Bob Brown, 10902 Newvi l l e Ave., asked if this is a way to get rid of
recreation vehicles and boats? He is against the $25.00 permit fee.
Mr. John Gonzalez, 12350 Orizaba Ave., spoke in favor of enforcement of no
parking during street sweeping hours.
Mr. Richard Engles, 9518 Muller St., challenged the water bill survey and
is against enforcement of citywide street sweeping parking restrictions.
Mr. Al Wantuch, 7240 Granger Ave., Bell Gardens, commented on the
inefficiency of sweeping where there are no curbs, and that he would give the
clue regarding referendum.
Mr. Gene Bright, 8538 Devenir St., is not in favor of citywide street
sweeping parking enforcement, stating we have a pretty clean City as it is.
Ms. Irene Neale, 7061 Dinwiddie St., was in favor, stating that tax dollars
already go for street sweeping and when vehicles are in the way we do not get
our dollars worth.
Mr. Stanley Wantuch, 6377 Florence, Bell Gardens, stated that not enough
people responded to the survey and that Downey should continue with the block -
by -block petition process.
Mrs. Joyce Lawrence, 9627 Cheddar St., spoke in support and reminded that
there was a vote of the people when they elected the Council Members.
Mr. Al D'Alessandro, 9905 Pangborn Ave., stated that this problem has been
going on for twenty years. If Council feels they gave a good Ordinance, vote
for it.
Council responded and further discussed the posting alternatives; no
enforcement if sweeper has gone by; use of Police Department personnel; size of
signs (aesthetic); use of petition process; the high percentage of persons who
returned the survey (as compared to other surveys and local elections before
consolidated).
A seven part motion was made by Council Member Barb, seconded by Council
Member Paul, and voted on part by part as follows:
(1) To amend the proposed Ordinance, Section 3175 (a) and (b) to add the
words "when a vehicle prevents street sweeping"; and that (c), (d), and (e) be
established by Resolution.
Vote: 4-1 (Council Member Hayden voting voting no)
Council Minutes 9/13/88 -2-

court and to incorporate block posting as set forth on a diagram presented at d
the previous meeting, s)

(6) That there be no handwritten notes for guests.
Vote: 4-1 (Council Member Boggs voting no)
(7) That the citation warning period be sixty (60) days.
Vote: 5-0
Other items mentioned and approved by consensus were that the Policy
Resolution be restrictive; that enforcement of the sweeping by the owner be
noted by the street sweeper and enforcement officer during the following week;
and that the signs be aesthetic as possible and as few as possible to meet
enforcement requirements. Council Member Hayden clarified her objections to
street sweeping parking enforcement, and asked for a complete set of documents
being studied.
It was moved by Council Member Paul, seconded by Council Member Boggs, and
carried 3-2 (Council Members Barb and Hayden voting no) to reduce the parking
permit to $10.00 with a maximum of $20.00 per household (goes to Traffic
Committee if more than two permits are required per household).
There being no objections, this item was continued to October or November
to allow staff time to set forth Council directives above.
The meeting recessed at 9:55 p.m. and reconvened at 10:12 p.m. with all
Council Members present.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1988-89: REVIEW AND APPROVE NEW
PROJECTS
New Traffic Signal - Smallwood Avenue and Imperial Highway
Council was advised there were some people in the audience wishing to give
testimony this evening regarding this item. The following persons spoke:
Mr. Michael Abram, owner and developer of shopping center at corner of
Smallwood Avenue and Imperial Highway, 1022 loth St., Manhattan Beach, asked for
a traffic signal at this location for the safety of the tenants, shoppers, and
neighbors.
Mr. Al D'Alessandro, 9905 Pangborn Ave., spoke regarding the ingress and
egress problems onto Imperial Highway from this area. Mr. D'Alessandro further
said the adjacent property owners of this area are prepared to pay the costs for
an outside consultant ($10,000-$15,000) to draw up the plans and specifications,
so that this project can get underway as soon as possible.
It was moved by Council Member Boggs, seconded by Council Member Paul, and
unanimously carried to continue this item.
Council Minutes 9/13/88 -3-
ADJUSTMENT OF COMPENSATION TO DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MEMBERS AND INCREASE
DESIGN REVIEW APPLICATION FEE
City Planner Yoshiki presented the staff report pursuant to the Agenda Memo
dated September 13, 1988. He advised it is staff's recommendation that
compensation of Design Review Board Members be increased to $35.00 per hour,
plus an increase in the application fee to $150.00.
It was moved by Council Member Barb, seconded by Mayor Cormack, and carried
4-1 (Council Member Boggs voting no) to approve staff's recommendation to
increase compensation of Design Review Board Members to $35.00 per hour and
increase the application fee to $150.00. Staff will return with Resolutions to
reflect said increases on September 27, 1988.
Mr. Al D'Alessandro, Design Review Board Member, 9905 Pangborn Ave.,
responded to various questions from Council.
Prior to the foregoing vote, the following amended motions were made:
It was moved by Council Member Boggs and seconded by Council Member Barb to
amend the motion so that the application fee remain $50.00 and that Board
Members be paid $50.00 a meeting. This motion was withdrawn by Council Member
Boggs with consent of the second.
It was moved by Council Member Boggs, seconded by Council Member Barb, and
failed 1-4 (Council Members Paul, Barb, Hayden, and Cormack voting no) to amend
the motion so that the application fee be based on value and that Board Members
be paid $50.00 per meeting.
NED STREET AND RYERSON AVENUE: OVERNIGHT PARKING RESTRICTIONS
Public Works Director Ralph related this item was pulled from the Consent
Calendar at the Council Meeting of August 23, 1988, at the request of Council
Member Paul, who spoke to a constituent who had expressed concern regarding the
body of the report where parking restriction was discussed -on Ryerson Avenue
from Neo Street, northerly to Firestone Boulevard. The staff report had
indicated the City was having trouble with United Towing Service, whereby
vehicles that were inoperable were being towed out of the towing yard and left
on the street for several days. Mr. Ralph related this made it impossible to
clean the street and vehicles were leaking oil residue on the streets. He
explained that the owners of the vehicles were taking them out of the storage
yard and leaving them on the street, not the towing service. Mr. Ralph
indicated it is staff's recommendation to approve the overnight parking
restriction on Neo Street from Ryerson Avenue to the easterly public alley.
RESOLUTION NO. 5064
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
ESTABLISHING A NO PARKING RESTRICTION (TOW AWAY) FROM 2:00 A.M. TO
6:00 A.M. ON ALL DAYS (NO EXCEPTIONS) ALONG BOTH SIDES OF NED STREET FROM
THE PUBLIC ALLEY WEST OF HARD AVENUE WESTERLY TO RYERSON AVENUE AND ALONG
BOTH SIDES OF RYERSON AVENUE FROM NED STREET NORTHERLY TO FIRESTONE BOULEVARD
The Resolution was read by title only. It was moved by Council Member
Barb, seconded by Council Member Paul, and unanimously carried to waive further
reading and to adopt.
HEARINGS
Mayor Cormack OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING ON VACATION AND CLOSURE OF
PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY FROM RIVES AVENUE CUL-DE-SAC TO TELEGRAPH ROAD (VACATION NO.
156).
City Clerk Young affirmed the Affidavit of Posting of Notice. Hearing no
objections, it was so ordered to receive and file the Affidavit of Posting of
Notice.
Public Works Director Ralph presented the staff report as set forth in
Agenda Memo dated September 13, 1988. He advised that the City put up a chain
link fence prohibiting access to the property as the two adjacent property
owners have claimed financial difficulty (letter on file in the City Clerk's
Office from Carmen Morales and Francis Diaz dated September 8, 1988) and have
Council Minutes 9/13/88 -4-
48 2'7
asked that the City not vacate the property at this time. He advised it is
staff's recommendation that the Resolution of Vacation not be adopted, but that
the access be closed so that the adjoining property owners and the neighborhood
residents who signed the petition asking for closure of the access will all
benefit.
Mr. Ralph estimated that the adjoining property owners would have to spend
between $2,000 and $3,000 for a blockwall fence and removal of existing concrete
improvements with approximately 150 to 200 square feet of property involved.
Council discussed the following issues: Aesthetics and safety factor of
putting up a blockwall fence to secure the area; issue that City would be
vacating the easement, but would retain the rights for the underground
facilities; and adjoining property owners would face minimal property tax
increase for blockwall fence improvement to their property.
It was moved by Council Member Hayden, seconded by Council Member Paul, and
unanimously carried to continue this item to September 27, 1988, so that staff
can work with the adjoining property owners involved.
Mayor Cormack OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING ON APPEAL TO ZONE VARIANCE NO. 583,
PROPERTY LOCATED SOUTH OF 12830 DUNROBIN AVENUE, NORTHEAST CORNER OF OUNROBIN
AVENUE AND THE FRONTAGE ROAD OF THE CENTURY FREEWAY (APPLICANT/APPELLANT:
ALFREDO MARAN)
City Clerk Young affirmed the Proof of Publication. Hearing no objections,
it was so ordered to receive and file.
It was moved by Council Member Boggs, seconded by Council Member Hayden,
and unanimously carried that the Public Hearing be continued to 7:30 p.m.,
October 11, 1988.
Mayor Cormack OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING ON APPEAL TO ZONE VARIANCE NO. 569,
12825 CORNUTA AVENUE (APPELLANT/APPLICANT: CALTRANS), WHICH WAS CONTINUED FROM
THE COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 9, 1988
City Planner Yoshiki presented a brief slide presentation showing the
subject project house and property and adjacent house and property. The
Appellant/Applicant is requesting a Zone Variance of five feet (20 foot front
yard setback) to the prevailing front yard setback (25 feet). This is a
relocated house with a new foundation.
Mr. Yoshi ki summarized the staff report as set forth in Agenda Memo dated
September 13, 1988, entitled "Appeal of Zone Variance No. 569-12825 Cornuta
Avenue." He advised it is staff's recommendation the Resolution denying Zone
Variance No. 569 be adopted as the findings of hardship are not present to grant
the Zone Variance.
Council Member Hayden clarified with City Attorney Thorson there is no
conflict of interest regarding her participation in these proceedings.
City Clerk Young advised no correspondence had been received on this
matter.
Mayor Cormack asked the Applicant to come forward and present his case. He
then called for Proponents to the Appeal.
Mr. Mike Wright, Construction Coordinator and Manager for Housing
Production, Century Freeway Housing Program, 111 N. LaBrea, Suite 500,
-- Inglewood, said this house was relocated into the City, and they attempted to
relocate the house in conformance with all codes and ordinances. He expressed
the opinion that both Caltrans and the City made a joint mistake in not
recognizing the 25 foot front yard prevailing setback, and set the house down
with a 20 foot setback. He related they have a potential buyer for this
property and asked Council to grant a 5 foot variance so the State can sell this
property.
Caltrans discussed the possiblity of compromise with the property owner to
the north of 12825 Cornuta Avenue, by constructing a blockwall fence to increase
the aesthetics of the area.
Council Minutes 9/13/88 -5-
Mr. Leon Emerson, Attorney representing Mrs. Doris Henry (proposed buyer of
house at 12825 Cornuta Avenue), 7607 Yankey St., related to Council that Mrs.
Henry was dispossessed from her home in 1981 due to the Century Freeway
project. Mr. Emerson asserted that this was a mutual mistake by the City and
Caltrans and if the Zone Variance is denied, it would be expensive and escrow
could be held up for months.
Mrs. Joyce Lawrence, 9627 Cheddar St., clarified with City Attorney Thorson
that she could participate in this matter even though she is a new member of the
Planning Commission. She related this property is several blocks from her
residence and is aware of the problems discussed above with the neighbors. Mrs.
Lawrence stated the other houses in this area are not in razor sharp straight
lines and she is in favor of the Zone Variance.
Mayor Cormack called for those in the audience who wished to speak in
opposition on Appeal to Zone Variance No. 569.
Mr. Gary Glider, (property owner just north of property in question), 12819
Cornuta Ave., cited this is a new garage that was added on to the relocated
house; stated it was noted to contractor and several other people the garage
setback was not in accordance with the proper setback; and feels this residence
should comply with the City setback requirements. He asked Council if this Zone
Variance is granted, would he have the right to extend his setback.
Council Member Boggs stated she has visited the site in question, and the
property impacted by this situation is Mr. Glider's residence at 12819 Cornuta
Avenue.
Council discussed: Alternatives to the granting of a Zone Variance, such
as moving the garage back five feet into the house; move the house and garage
back five feet; or move the garage to the south and pick up the required five
feet. Council further addressed the following issues: Would the addition of a
blockwall fence remedy the situation; and would the prevailing front yard
setback of 25 feet change on this street if the Zone Variance was granted.
Mayor Cormack asked if the Applicant wished to rebut.
Mr. Mike Wright, Construction Coordinator and Manager for Housing
Production, Century Freeway Housing Program, 111 N. LaBrea, Suite 500,
Inglewood, responded by saying the blockwall fence was more of a suggestion from
Mr. Glider than a straight offer from Caltrans; Caltrans has no problem with a
six foot fence at the edge of Mr. Glider's house, westward to the back property
line, or at the setback line. Mr. Wright said Mr. Glider wanted a four foot
area paved that is on the Caltrans' property and they would not do this.
It was moved by Council Member Barb, seconded by Council Member Paul, and
unanimously carried to close the Public Hearing.
Mr. Wright said he felt the blockwall fence would have to be put on the
State owned property; and if the prospective buyer of the house (Mrs. Henry)
wished to have the four foot area paved on her property or any other additions,
she will have them put in the escrow instructions.
Council Member Barb mentioned that the Downey Municipal Code was' written so
that the laws could be enforced; the Planning Commission did not find special
circumstance to approve the Zone Variance; the original Plan submitted to the
City by Caltrans was signed by Planning showing the twenty foot setback, but
that the contractor specified the house would be placed at the same setback as
the others on the block.
Council Member Paul is in favor of the Zone Variance, citing he feels
special circumstances do exist, and the City must bear some responsibility.
It was moved by Council Member Boggs, seconded by Council Member Paul, and
failed 2-3 (Council Members Barb, Hayden, and Cormack voting no) to approve Zone
Variance No. 569 with the condition that a blockwall fence be constructed on the
property line at 12819 Cornuta Avenue.
Council Minutes 9/13/88 -6-
RESOLUTION NO. 5065
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY,
DENYING ZONE VARIANCE NO. 569
City Attorney Thorson recommended that an additional finding that the
prevailing front yard setback on the block is 25 feet be part of the Resolution.
It was moved by Council Member Barb, seconded by Council Member Hayden, and
carried 3-2 (Council Members Paul and Boggs voting no) to waive further reading
and to adopt with the addition that the prevailing front yard setback be 25 feet
on this block.
Mayor Cormack OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING ON APPEAL TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
NO. 270, 8345 FIRESTONE BOULEVARD (UNITED COLLEGE OF BUSINESS), WHICH WAS
CONTINUED FROM THE COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 23, 1988
It was moved by Council Member Barb, seconded by Council Member Paul, and
unanimously carried to continue this Hearing to 7:30 p.m., October 11, 1988.
Council inquired if the information had been received from United College
of Business that was requested at the August 23, 1988 Council Meeting.
City Mananger Davis responded that a portion of the information had been
received, and a subsequent letter was sent to Mr. Mentzer of the United College
of Business, asking for additional information as requested by Council; also
requested was clarification of some of the information that was initially
presented.
Council requested that this item be put toward the end of the Agenda at the
October 11, 1988 Council Meeting, in order to complete other items of business
