The Mayor at this time announced that this was the
time and place heretofore fixed by the City Council for
conducting a hearing on a proposed change in Part One
of the Zoning Trap of the City of El Segundo, and the
classification to "C -i;rf of certain properties as indicated
on said map.
The City Clerk advised that due and regular notice of
the hearing had been given and published and that the Affi-
davit of Publication showing that fact was on file.
The Mayor then inquired whether or not any written com-
munications or protests had been received with reference to
the proposed change in said Zoning Map and the reclassifica-
tion to "C -IMII zone of certain properties indicated on
said map. He was advised none had been received.
The City Clerk announced that the complete files of
the Planning Commission relating to the proposed zone and fps
change and reclassification of certain properties were in of the city
possession of said Clerk and available for use. The Mayor uoutoi thi
then ordered that the said files of said Planning Commission l o r
and the files of the City Council up to this time with refer- a -:AM g
ence to said proposed Zoning Map change and reclassification said
of certain properties indicated thereon to "C -M" zone, be a.. n mend
received as evidence in the matter now pending before the
Council.
The Mayor then invited anyone present who desired to
address the Council in favor of the proposed Zoning Map
change and reclassification of certain properties indicated
thereon, to do so. 'o one responded.
He then asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition
to said proposed Zone Map change and said reclassification.
The following persons then testified in opposition to
such Zoning �.ap change and reclassification:
1. 'Willard '3ailey, IVY Arena St. El Segundo, stated
as follows: I cannot see where it would benefit the community
to lower the restrictions on plain Street or on Standard Street,
northerly from Franklin Avenue to allow manufacturing plants
to be erected in that area; the area along Franklin Avenue
from .gain Street to Penn and Sheldon is now zoned as R -2 and
-2-
D. -3, and if you allow the area surrounding that property
to be zoned as 11C -i1' it will bottleneck the properties in
the before mentioned area which I do not believe, from a
standpoint of planning, would be very desirable. It is
my understanding that a certain company purchased pro-
perty in the area proposed to be reclassified and after
such purchase discovered it could not erect a manufactur-
ing plant in that district and that the proposed reclassi-
fication is being made for the benefit of this company,
which I do not believe to be in the interests of good zon-
ing; there is plenty of area easterly of Eucalyptus Drive
which can be procured at reasonable prices and which can
be used for manufacturing under present zoning.
To bring a 11C -M11 zone northerly from Franklin 'venue
to Grand Avenue, which most of us consider as the center of
town, you are bringing light manufacturing down to within a
block of the center of town. If this is considered good or
for the best interests of the community at large,- why fine,
but I do not believe anyone will agree that bringing manu-
facturing further down than the Standard Oil Company would
be considered good planning; you are lowering restrictions
on the way you can use this property, which naturally will
lower building restrictions.
There will be, or could be put up, galvanized iron or
tin buildings which would meet the need of light manufactur-
ing but not commercial. Another thing, too, is there are
quite a few dwellings in that area, I will admit they were
there before the property was zoned as 'Y. -1, although some
had permits to build before zoning went into effect, but I
believe that these persons are entitled to some considera-
tion in the matter and I have been asked to speak on their
behalf in protest against the proposed reclassification.
2. Mr. Herbert A. Kelly, residing at 217 Eucalyptus
Drive, addressed the Council as follows: I would like to
protest on the same order as 11 =r. 3ailey; when I bought
that property, zoning was going through, I did not protest,
thought it was no use. At the time of the zoning no one was
living there but after I started building others built and
we thought . we might get a rezoning to a better zone. One
person built a home in this area and after he built his house
he took it into his head to open a machine shop; he told us
it'would be closed in, there would be no noise, so we did
not protest, but now we can hear the machinery going all
night, pieces of steel being dropped, cars parked all
around, and it is getting rough.
I realize we cannot do much about that but I ..gould
like to protest against this other; they will say they will
put up a good building, but now is the time to protest be-
cause after buildings are up it will be too late. They can
put in tin buildings, there will be lots of noise, and it
seems to me someone not related to the town in any position,
who does not make their '_some here (this is strictly my own
opinion, I may be all wrong) can buy property in the wrong
zone then would like to have it changed to meet his needs.
This property is better than a «C -Mll zone.
3. Mr. Alvin Burgen, residing at 211 Eucalyptus
Drive, addressed the Council as follows: I have not been
following this matter too close, have not had too much time.
I live on Eucalyptus. I understand the property being re-
zoned is on Standard Street and on the next street. When I
first came here it was already an I -1 zone, of course I had
no protest; it was too late. lie have one tin shack in front
of us now and we do not want any more of that in the rear
of my property. If we are going to have tailor -made zoning
in town for every person who comes in, then we should throw
-3-
all zoning out.
U 42".
? - "r. Kelly again addressed the Council, stating
that at the time zoning was made he felt they did a
pretty good job. At that time upon inquiry, the
Planning Commission stated an 74 -1 zone would take care
of it and he thinks it still will take care of it..
Councilman Swanson then inquired of Mr.-Kelly if
he objected to all the reclassification on Standard
Street and main Street between Franklin Avenue and El
Segundo Boulevard, or the portion between Franklin
Avenue and Grand Avenue.
Mr. Kelly stated that he was probably selfish but
he was worried about the property on Eucalyptus Drive
between Franklin Avenue and Grand Avenue, and some of the
lots on the other side of Franklin Avenue, too; that he
believes there is no reason to have rezoning,•but believes
it can be taken care of under the present zoning; that he
does not want tin shops or such because of the noise.
The City Attorney stated at this time that the Council
might close the hearing if it has heard all protests it
feels necessary, or the hearing can be taken under considera-
tion until some future date.
The 'Playor inquired if the Council members desired to
close the hearing, and hearing no objections thereto, he
thereupon declared said hearing closed.
Moved by Councilman Gordon., seconded by Councilman
Thompson, that the matter of change in Part One of the
Zoning Map and the reclassification of certain properties
indicated thereon, and the protests received at this meet-
ing against such reclassification be taken under advise-
ment until the hour of 7 :00 o'clock P. T... on io'ednesday,
July 25, 1951. Carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Councilmen Gordon, Swanson, Thompson and
1�iayor Selby.
:woes: Councilmen None.
Absent: Councilman Peterson.
The P:ayor stated that this was the time and place
heretofore fixed for reception of bids on the sale by the
City of El Segundo, of the northerly Twenty -Five feet of
Lot 5, Block 50, El Segundo Sheet '�o. 2 in the City of El
Segundo, which property is owned by said City and for which
it has no further use. He inquired of the City Clerk whether
or not any bids had been received for the purchase of said
property and the City Clerk stated that one bid had been re-
ceived.
It was thereupon moved by Councilman Swanson, seconded
by Councilman Thompson, that the Council proceed to .open,
examine and publicly declare said bid. Carried.
Council thereupon proceeded to open, examine, and pub-
licly declare said bid which said bid was found by said
Council to be as follows, to wit:

Security -First National Bank of Los Angeles, payable to
the City of El Segundo, in the sum of .135.00, the bal-
ance of the purchase price to be payable upon close of
t7scrow.
Following the reading of said bid it was moved by
Councilman Thompson, seconded by Councilman Gordon, the
following resolution be adopted:

stating that pursuant to a recent application made by
said company for a permit to install a 12" pipeline in

Boulevard, a temporary revocable permit had been granted
by the City; that since a portion of the gas-to be trans-
ported in this pipeline will be used to supply gas to
residents of the City of El Segundo and the Standard Oil
Refinery, it feels it should be issued a permit in accord-
ance with the provisions of its franchise with the City of
El Segundo.

the City Attorney stated that apparently at the time the
temporary revocable permit was granted Southern Calif-
ornia Gas Company for the installation of said pipeline,
it was granted under the impression that the gas to be

use outside of the City of E1 Segundo; that if, as stated
in the before mentioned communication from Southern Calif-
ornia Gas Company, the line is to be used to serve resi-
dents in the City of El Segundo,a regular form of permit
could be issued by the Street Superintendent and the
Council might take action to repeal its Resolution Igo.

Director of Public Works Short reported as follows:
1. That he had received a communication from J. R.
Lester Boyle, Engineer, dated July 2, 1951, which communi-
cation he read in full to the Council, as follows:
"Engineering Office
J. R. LESTER BOYLE
Suite 328 Spurgeon Building
Santa Ana, California
Telephone KI 3 -8251
July 2, 1951
Director of Public ruorks,
City of El Segundo,

EL Segundo, Calif.
Dear Sir:
The Engineering Service Corporation has for-
warded to me their design data showing the pro-
posed method of draining the :Marlow -Burns property
in El Segundo proposed for subdivision and to be
known as Tract No. 1562.
They have used a 25 year frequency storm as
established by the Los Angeles County Flood Control
District as their design criterion. They propose
to construct percolation wells, together with a
sump, in the northeasterly portion of the tract and
another system of wells and sumps in the north-
westerly portion of the tract; thereby, taking care
of the northerly 23.8 acres of the proposed subdi-
vision. The remaining portion of the subdivision,
lying southerly of these two areas, is proposed to
be permitted to drain upon the adjacent properties
as indicated by the topographical map of said pro-
posed tract.
i have checked their desi,n data and herewith
approve their proposed drainage plan as being the
most practical solution available at the present
time. A large part of the proposed tract that will
not drain to the proposed sumps will tend to drain
toward the southwesterly corner of the tract to the
-13-
U 4,�;�' .
low point just westerly of the corner in 1c::arthy
Court, from which point, it will tend to drain down
the existing easement owned by the City of E1 Segundo
to Penn Street where it will tend to accumulate at
the low point existing in said street. As this is the.
existing course of the drainage from this property,
the condition will not change from the present, except
for the possibility of a greater rate of flow due to
the impervious areas within the proposed•tract formed
by the street surfaces and the roofs of the residences
constructed therein. This situation would undoubtedly
be helped somewhat by the construction of another
sump and percolation wells at the low point in this
portion of the tract. However, a question as to
whether or not such a sump should be required is a
matter of policy to be determined by the City Council
or the City Planning Commission.
I am enclosing herewith a copy of the topographi-
cal map of said tract, together with a copy of mass
diagram for each of the drainage areas draining to
the proposed percolation well and sump sites.
Yours very truly,
/S/ J. R. Lester Boyle

Following the reading of the said communication and
discussion by the Council with respect to the manner in
which the anticipated overflow of storm water from a por-
tion of the proposed subdivision into Penn Street might
be best solved, by general consent said matter was re-
ferred to Councilman Gordon and Director of Public '-Yorks
Short for study, report, and recommendation to the Council
at a later date.
City Attorney 'Joodworth made reports as follow:
1. That Public Safety Commissioner Thompson had sub-
mitted to him rules and regulations governing the Fire De-
partment of the City of El Segundo, and a manual of opera-
tion of said department; that he assumed the members of the
City Council perused same,and Councilman Thompson indicated
this had been done, and certain recommendations made by the
Council had been incorporated in the manual.
The City Attorney recommended that on Page 3 of the
rules and Regulations an addition be made thereto, ;,Thereby
all officers and members of the mire Department must sub-
scribe and file with the City Clerk any loyalty oath which
may be required by law or order of the City Council.
The Council concurring in such recommendations, it was
moved by Councilman Thompson, seconded by Councilman Gordon,
that Resolution No. 1163, entitled:
